Huangfu Song felt like a brick, moving wherever he needed /\/\/\/\
The chaos in Runan began, and he was sent to Runan. As soon as the war in Runan improved, he was moved to Jizhou again. The situation in Jizhou stabilized and he was sent to Liangzhou again. Although Huangfu Song was also from Liangzhou, Huangfu Song did not feel as if he was honored to return to his hometown, but instead felt sad as if he was chess.
At this time, the so-called Yongzhou was just a geographical noun and had no administrative region. Therefore, the Hanyang, Longxi, Anding and Wudu of Yongzhou were all under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, while the Youfufeng, the Zuofeng and Jingzhao were under the jurisdiction of Sili, and the Northland was under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou.
The situation in Liangzhou is now a bit strange. Dong Zhuo actually controls it mainly in the southeast of Liangzhou, Wuwei, Jincheng, Anding and, as well as the northern regions of Bingzhou Beidi County and Fengyi.
Huangfu Song controls the southern part of Zhangye, the northern part of Wuwei and the newly established western part of Xihe County. Bian Zhang and Han Sui are in the northern part of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang areas, and to the north, the territory of the Xianbei people is located in the north.
In other words, Huangfu Song is now like a sandwich cookie, being sandwiched between Dong Zhuo and Bian Zhang and Han Sui and was angry. If Dong Zhuo hadn't needed Huangfu Song to help block Bian Zhang and Han Sui, maybe Huangfu Song's food and grass would have been cut off long ago, but Dong Zhuo would never give Huangfu Song a full meal. Therefore, Huangfu Song was powerless in attack and could only hold on.
Huangfu Song is not too depressed now. What's even more terrible is that Dong Zhuo suddenly rushed south and made such a big noise in the capital. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was about to start a war with the Central Plains clans, Huangfu Song's current identity is even more embarrassing.
If we only consider it from a military perspective, Huangfu Song would definitely choose to make peace with Bian Zhang and then go south to attack Dong Zhuo and divide Dong Zhuo's territory. However, in a broad sense, if he does this, his reputation will be bad. He can only be classified as rebels like Bian Zhang and Han Sui.
But don't forget shuda8. Huangfu Song is just one of the Central Plains clans. In fact, he does not have the ability to make major military and political decisions. Now Huangfu Song is holding a letter from the capital.
Two letters!
A letter from Yuan Wei, which required Huangfu Song to contact Bian Zhang and Han Sui as soon as possible, and then reach an agreement on the recruitment matter as soon as possible. Basically, as long as the territory south of Zhangye is not involved, all conditions can be agreed to them, including the formal appointment of the prefect and the annual grain allocation plan. This is definitely a plan to raise a tiger, or it is not wrong to drink poison to quench thirst!
Another letter was that the emperor's edict was not passed by Shang's handwritten edict. In the edict, Huangfu Song was promoted to the Marquis of Huaili and was appointed as the General of the Western Expedition. This was a great promotion, and it was also Dong Zhuo's olive branch. If Huangfu Song obeyed the edict, it would be equivalent to turning to Dong Zhuo.
From Huangfu Song's personal point of view, the best way now is to accept the decree of heaven, and then stay outside the war in the capital, and wait until the war in the capital is over, and then choose the side again
However, Huangfu Song's troops were not only his troops, but also the troops of the Central Plains clans. The middle and lower-level officers and even the senior officers in the troops were all responsible for the aristocratic people. If Huangfu Song really accepted the decree of heaven, the troops might rebel tomorrow, and his head would become a stepping stone for others to take office!
Huangfu Song regretted it. If he had known that he would have been better than staying in Yanmen County as the prefect, maybe he could be a free warlord. Now, he has become someone else's chess for his fame, and he is still the one who crossed the river, and he has no way back. It's so sad!
Just as Huangfu Song sighed at these two letters, a knock sounded outside the door.
"Father, boy, please pay a visit"
"Come in!"
Huangfu Song wiped away the sorrow and resentment on his face, changed into a solemn face and knelt behind the desk.
The two young men walked in together, but if you look closely, you can still find that one of them was half a step behind. Huangfu Song sighed slightly in his heart.
Those who came in were Huangfu Song's son, Fu Jianshou and Cong Fu Li. These two young men were both in their prime, with confidence and pride on their faces, and looked full of vitality and energy.
"Greetings to my father!"
"Yong, Huan doesn't have to be too polite, just sit down."
"Yes, father!"
"Is there something wrong with my father calling me to come?"
The one who is well-behaved and agrees is naturally the one who asks questions directly
"Come on, you all read these two letters and then talk about their own ideas."
Huangfu Song pushed down two silk letters on the table and put them down. Huangfu Jianshou grabbed a letter without hesitation to show it. Huangfu Li waited with peace of mind, but did not go to see another letter still on the table. It was not until Huangfu Jianshou finished reading this letter that he took it from Huangfu Jianshou and continued to read it.
Huangfu Song shook his head secretly. The relationship between brothers seemed too cautious, and became hypocritical. It was okay for him to be there, but he was gone. I am afraid the two brothers will turn against each other!
After a while, the two of them had read the two letters one after another. Huangfu Song temporarily put aside his thoughts and asked seriously: "Yongxian talks about your opinion, what should we do?"
"Father, the child is familiar with Dong Zhuo. I don't know anything else. Dong Zhuo is the most loyal person. He has never let his friends down. Let's come back to see what happened in front of us. Following the arrangements of Taiwei Yuan is naturally a icing on the cake. However, accepting the decree of the sky is a timely help. Moreover, we, Taiwei Yu Yuan, are a loyal dog. To put it bluntly, we are his life-saving straw. It's self-evident that the power of this is self-evident!"
Looking at the talkative son, Huangfu Song was in a very complicated mood. Although Huangfu Jianshou’s view made some sense, he was too self-righteous. But it doesn’t matter. This is how young people all
Huangfu Song did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at Huangfu Li with a slight smile: "Huan, what do you think?"
Huangfu Li sorted out his thoughts, then straightened his waist and said slowly: "Father, we don't know what the situation in the capital is now, but we must be exhausted. Therefore, even my father, who is far away in Liangzhou, has become the key to affecting the situation in the capital. Therefore, the importance of his father is highlighted and then looked at Dong Zhuo and Yuan Taiwei. In terms of theory, Dong Zhuo took the heavens to command the world to betray the emperor and ordered the soldiers, while Yuan Taiwei occupied the title of great righteousness, and all the scholars in the world were born in the aristocratic race. No matter what, if he defected to Dong Zhuo, his reputation would be destroyed in the future."
"How could it be! If Yuan Wei loses a lot, the future history will not be written by Dong Zhuo!"
Huangfu Jianshou retorted firmly, saying that this was true, Huangfu Song couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart, but Dong Zhuo could win before, and it was not a moment, but a lifetime of winning.
Huangfu Li smiled at Huangfu Jianshou with a little respectful look: "Brother said so much, but this history must be written by Dong Zhuo when he has been able to win. So, the key to this matter is who can win?"
"Well said! It is precisely because my brother thinks that Dong Zhuo can win that he thinks he should accept the decree of heaven. Dong Zhuo fought in the border areas for many years and was brave and brave. On the other hand, the generals of the Central Plains, those Taiping soldiers, can you? Father, you should have the most say in this. If the five schools in the middle school of Beijing are useful, how could there be a siege of the Changshe?"
Huangfu Song nodded. This is correct, but military is one aspect, and more importantly, something beyond war.
"Brother, have you forgotten that Dong Zhuo is alone and deep. No matter how strong the combat power is, without stable supplies and military replenishment, this will become the root of failure. Even if Dong Zhuo connects Hedong County and connects Fengyi County, the long supply line is still a fatal weakness. Therefore, I think that Dong Zhuo will eventually retreat to Chang'an, Yongzhou, and stalemate with the Guandong clan with Tongguan."
Huangfu Jianshou nodded: "I agree with this, but the key lies in the subsequent matters. After Dong Zhuo occupied Yongzhou, he could easily take over Longxi, Hanyang, and even Hanzhong. This is very similar to the situation of Emperor Gaozu's annexation of the world. If we accept the decree of the heaven, Liangzhou will be stable and Dong Zhuo can let it go, and we can take the opportunity to operate in Liangzhou. If Dong Zhuo fails, we can still choose another camp."
"Brother has a good idea, but it will make my father bear the infamy of being betrayed from now on. Isn't that important?"
Huangfu Song smiled: "It's just a fame. If that's all, it's better not to have these fames."
Huangfu Jianshou was stunned. His father's words "If that's all," obviously revealed part of his father's thoughts. It turned out that his father was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo. Did Dong Zhuo's actions based on Tongguan's counter-attack against the Kanto clan according to the relevant period were not optimistic about Dong Zhuo's actions to rely on Tongguan to compete with the Kanto clan? Why is this?
"Don't my father think that Dong Zhuo can defend Guanzhong?"
"No, there may be no military problem. The key is why Dong Zhuo occupy Guanzhong? Guanzhong is the Guanzhong of Yongzhou people. In fact, the current situation in Beijing is the division between the Yongzhou clan and the Guandong clan. Dong Zhuo thought that his division policy had achieved results. In fact, it was just that the Yongzhou clan was using Dong Zhuo to fight for his status. In essence, the Yongzhou clan is also a clan, and its fundamental interests do not conflict with the interests of the Guandong clan. Dong Zhuo is just a military man from a poor family. Therefore, in the end, when the Guandong clan no longer becomes the biggest obstacle to his rise, he will deal with the Yongzhou clan, and the final result must be civil strife in Chang'an!"
Huangfu Song's insightful insight made the two of them feel enlightened, and they immediately saw the chaotic situation in the capital and even the chaos in the whole world clearly.
"So that's it, the child has been taught!"
"Father, since Dong Zhuo will definitely lose, then we must stand firmly on the side of Taiwei Yuan, no, on the side of Dayi, so we must be cautious in recruiting Bian Zhang and Han Sui, and we must never leave any criticisms."
"No, openly and secretly force Han Sui and Bian Zhang not to accept the invitation, and then we will continue to maintain the status quo, which is the best choice."
Huangfu Song smiled confidently, the two young men frowned and thought hard, and then looked at his father with some insight, with respect on his face, and welcomed you. Your support is my greatest motivation.
