I may not have time to manage book reviews in the future. Are there any book friends willing to be deputy moderators?

Chang'an Han Army Camp.
The Chinese army's tent was full of laughter and chatter. Hundreds of Han generals frequently toasted to Huangfu Song, who was sitting high on the throne, with respectful expressions and flattering words. Huangfu Song raised his glass with a smile and responded one by one.
Dong Zhuo snorted softly and poured the wine from the cup down his throat. The fire in his heart was still strong, and he drank another drink before suppressing it. He admitted that he was jealous of Huangfu Song, but more importantly, he complained about himself. Huangfu Song really
Is it as powerful as the world touts? Dong Zhuo sneered at this. In a wild battle, the Yellow Turban Army was no match for the elite Han army. As long as the Han army commander didn't make any mistakes, he would definitely win. But if more than a hundred thousand moth thieves were determined to defend,
Who could capture the city in a short period of time? Lu Zhi and himself couldn't, and Huangfu Song couldn't. Even if Han Xin became white, he would inevitably be dismissed from office and punished.
Less than two months after Huangfu Song arrived in Hebei, the Yellow Turban Army had to leave the city to fight the Han Army because of shortage of food. It can be said that Huangfu Song was able to achieve unparalleled achievements because Lu Zhi and himself obtained the most precious thing for him -
-time.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was unhappy, Guo Si said: "Why is Huangfu Song so proud? It's just good luck and getting a big deal."
"Only a fool like Guo Aduo dares to say this." Dong Zhuo laughed dumbly and felt better.
"Guo Aduo is right." Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, analyzed: "Huangfu Song's military exploits are too high and people hate him. How dare the imperial court allow him to maintain a large number of troops for a long time? If I want to tell you about the future of Western Xinjiang, it depends on you, my father-in-law."
Dong Zhuo patted Niu Fu on the shoulder with great satisfaction. Niu Fu was tall and thick, and looked like a martial artist. In fact, his rough appearance was very decisive, and he was very similar to Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, he would not have recruited him as his son-in-law.
Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min whispered: "Shut up, Huangfu Song is here."
Most of the people here had participated in the Guangzong and Xiaqu battles. Huangfu Song nodded to everyone, and then said: "Dong Zhonglang, you are a veteran who has been in charge of the army for ten years. If you have any counterinsurgency strategies, don't hide them."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "General Huangfu is joking."
Huangfu Song could feel Dong Zhuo's slight alienation and shook his head: "It's not a joke, it's the truth. Dong Zhonglang thinks it's better to quell the rebellion quickly or slowly?"
Dong Zhuo said: "Of course the faster the better, but the sources of the Han army are patchy, so a decisive battle in the short term is not a good choice."
Huangfusong nodded, his face calm, and he couldn't guess his true thoughts.

Right Fufeng is the gateway to the west of Chang'an, and it is also the main attack area of the Liangzhou rebels. Half of the cities in the territory have fallen. Zuo Fufeng is the gateway to the north of Chang'an. It is also threatened by the Qiang and Hu from the two counties of Anding and North. Gai Xun recruited 5,000 troops early to gather together.
Thousands of people were on alert. After Huangfu Song arrived in Chang'an, he immediately dispatched 20,000 troops to station outside Gaoling City, where Zuofeng Yi ruled, to prevent the Qiang and Hu from descending and attacking Chang'an. Huangfu Song was not worried about the dispersion of his troops, as Gaoling was only a few kilometers away from Chang'an.
Ten miles away, it can take more than an hour of urgent marching.
Although safety was not a concern, Gai Xun could not relax. Tens of thousands of victims from two counties in the north were swarming to settle the situation. In order to accommodate them, Gai Xun had trouble sleeping and eating. What worried him even more was the food problem. With an army of 30,000,
Tens of thousands of disaster victims had to eat a large amount of grain every day, and watched the granaries become empty little by little, making them worried.
In July, a once-in-a-century large-scale borer plague broke out in Sanfu. Gai Xun's eyesight went dark and he almost fainted. Huangfu Song's face turned pale with horror, and the thousands of words stuck in his throat turned into a long sigh. Although the Han army
Most of the grain and grass are transported from the Central Plains and the South, but a lot of it is also collected on the spot. Now that the three auxiliary borers have been hit, not only the grain has been harvested, but also grain has been donated for disaster relief.
At the end of July, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong reported to Huangfu Song that the battle was unsuccessful and had cost a lot, so he issued an edict to conquer Huangfu Song and return to the capital.
In August, Sikong Zhang Wen was appointed as the cavalry general, Jin Wu Yuan Pang was his deputy, Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo was appointed as the general who broke the captives, and he and Zhou Shen, the general of the gangsters, were under Zhang Wen's command.
In September, the emperor's chief minister, Situ Yang, passed away. Therefore, Taiwei, Guang Luxun and Liu Kuanqian had died of illness. The two old men happened to be from Hongnong. Their death was undoubtedly a huge loss to the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Liu Hong never liked his master. The three generations of the Yang family, starting from Yang Zhen, to Yang Bing, and Yang Ci, were all known for their integrity and uprightness. As the emperor's master, Yang Ci often wrote letters to advise him, which made Liu Hong feel bored. However, Yang Ci really didn't do it again. I can’t annoy him anymore, and I feel sad again. After all, it’s a teacher-student friendship that lasts for more than ten years...
Liu Hong wore plain clothes and did not go to court for three days. He issued an edict to give Yang Ci Dongyuan coffin plain clothes, three million yuan, and five hundred pieces of cloth. He encouraged the funeral and the funeral of all officials.
General He Jin was a protégé of Yang Ci. In order to show respect for the master and win people's hearts, he personally held the coffin, which really touched many people.
In late autumn, looking around, there was a golden scene. The autumn wind blew slowly, refreshing and refreshing. Yuan Shao and Gai Jun walked behind the crowd. Yuan Shao asked: "Ziying, what do you think of the future situation in Western Xinjiang? Zhang Cheqineng Can’t we put down the rebels?”
Gai Jun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Dong, the general on Tuesday came from Liangzhou. He is a veteran general of the country. He is known for his good fighting skills. I am afraid that Zhang Chaqi will not be able to control him." Zhang Wen spent money to buy three companies as apprentices. His position has always been criticized by others. How could Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, the famous generals of Liangzhou, obey him?
Yuan Shao smiled lightly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Hundreds of thousands of troops and horses are handed over to one person. If I were Your Majesty, I wouldn't be able to sleep."
Gai Jun glanced sideways at Yuan Shao and said, "But procrastinating like this is not an option. The country cannot afford it."
Yuan Shao gently swept the fallen leaves off his shoulders and asked: "You have been in Beijing for almost a year, do you want to move around?"
Gai Jun frowned and said, "Winter is coming soon. I guess the battle situation won't change much this year. Let's talk about next year."
Yuan Shao nodded and stopped mentioning Xijiang. The two chatted about trivial matters in the capital.
Yang Ci's death was extremely tragic, and the inscription was written by his father-in-law, Cai Yong, who was a specialist in epitaphs for officials of the Han Dynasty. Cai Wan and Gai Mo came to visit Cai Yong when he came to Beijing. He loved his grandson very much and kept him for more than a month. This time is no exception.
In October, Liu Tao, an admonishment official, said that the world was encountering Zhang Jiao's rebellion, and was later attacked by Bian Zhang's bandits. Zhang's chariots and cavalry went deep into the country alone. If they failed, there would be no way to deal with it. In fact, these were just pretexts, and the real purpose was to attack the eunuchs. Liu Tao was a disciple of Yang Ci. Emperor Liu Hong was instigated by the eunuchs and immediately forgot about the teacher whose bones were still cold and arrested him and imprisoned him. Liu Tao did not want to be humiliated and died by holding his breath.
That month, Zhang Wen sent more than 100,000 troops on foot and cavalry to garrison Meiyang and Bianzhang. Han Sui also marched into Meiyang. The two sides fought fiercely and the Han army was defeated.
Liu Hong was furious and rebuked Zhang Wen for his uselessness. He anxiously joined Yulin, Huben, the Northern Army, Sanhe Knights, and soldiers from various counties to form a force of 5,000 people, and ordered Yulin Zhonglang, General Gai Juntongzhi, to rush to the battlefield to help.) ;.
