Chapter 851 Huangfu's predicament was solved

Huangfu Song, who had been quiet for two years, is now facing a major question, whether to accept the imperial edict from Chang'an.

The edict is just a very simple content, but the content contained in it is related to the life and death of Huangfu Song, and even the rise and fall of the entire Huangfu family.

Huangfu Song had been watching the situation in Chang'an for two years, so how could he not understand it? He originally thought that Dong Zhuo would do things against the ground or even defeat the death of the Guanzhong clan under the gradual pressure of the Guanzhong clan, but now Dong Zhuo seemed to have suddenly changed his strategy and decided to endure humiliation and play political games with the Guanzhong clan.

As a result, the chips in the Guanzhong clan suddenly seemed a little insufficient, and Dong Zhuo issued an imperial edict to ask Huangfu Song to move south, which was even more wonderful to achieve with one move, especially Wang Yun's move to the north, which made people feel that it had a long charm!

If Huangfu Song completely turned to Dong Zhuo, the Guanzhong clan would have to continue to retreat; if Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi and others joined forces, they could form a powerful third pole, which was enough to differentiate the Guanzhong clan camp and share the pressure of Dong Zhuo; if Huangfu Song leaned against the Guandong clan, then after Dong Zhuo controlled Xiliang, he would turn around and join forces with Lu Zhi and Sima Fang, who were more wary, and would still be able to encircle the Guanzhong clan.

Dong Zhuo seemed to be gambled, that is, Sima Fang and Lu Zhi he supported would definitely not unite with the Guanzhong clan to deal with him. Huangfu Song had always cared about this. Although Huangfu Song himself, although he was also considered a Guanzhong clan, seemed to be excluded from the Guanzhong clan, otherwise they would have come to Huangfu Song long ago. From this point of view, the xenophobic sentiment of the Guanzhong clan was further rising, and Dong Zhuo changed his attitude in time, which led to Sima Fang and Lu Zhi turning to Dong Zhuo.

It can be said that the Guanzhong clan's own xenophobia sent them onto a single-plank bridge, and Dong Zhuo, who had given up his face and figure, seemed to have found a wider path. Therefore, Huangfu Song, who was not optimistic about Dong Zhuo, had to rethink his decision.

Of course, Huangfu Song had other choices, such as independence! For example, to vote for Ding Yuan! No, it should be to vote for the Jinyang court. Unfortunately, the actual situation facing Huangfu Song now does not support him very much in his independence. Or directly confront Dong Zhuo. Especially after Dong Zhuo ended his attack on Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo was absolutely capable of destroying Huangfu Song to the north first.

Wuwei County is not as dangerous as Hanzhong, and in Xiliang, Dong Zhuo has more prestige than Huangfu Song. If Dong Zhuo led the army north, Huangfu Song could not have to learn from Han Sui's way. If Han Sui accepted the pacification again, Huangfu Song might not even be able to make a bandit.

This is also the reason why Dong Zhuo has always allowed Huangfu Song to stay out of his control. It is because Huangfu Song is actually difficult to come up with any tricks. Therefore, Dong Zhuo has never freed up his hands to deal with him. Now Dong Zhuo finally has time and energy, and Huangfu Song's good days are over.

It is of great importance. Before Huangfu Song decides, he still wants to hear the opinions of his two sons. After all, the future of the Huangfu family depends on these two children.

Huangfu Jianshou and Huangfu Libei's father have already come to call us and have some speculations about the matter. In fact, the two brothers have discussed this issue privately. Dong Zhuo cannot leave Huangfu Song's troops alone forever. Some time ago, Dong Zhuo was too busy to take care of himself, and even Huangfu Jianshou had some doubts about his original vision. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo did not disappoint Huangfu Jianshou and suddenly woke up at a critical moment. He changed his previous method of fighting against the Guanzhong clan and instead put down his figure and played political games with the Guanzhong clan.

Today, my father called me to come, probably to discuss how to deal with Dong Zhuo's changes. Huangfu Jianshou now believes in his views more firmly. He should surrender to the Chang'an court, which can firstly eliminate the direct confrontation with Dong Zhuo. Secondly, when he is investing in Dong Zhuo, he will definitely get Dong Zhuo's trust. Dong Zhuo is the most loyal and will not treat the people who helped him badly. Even if the Huangfu family may temporarily lose military power, it will definitely be compensated in the future, and it is very likely that he can get a civilian position such as a prefect. Wouldn't that be better than now? Although he has a lot of troops, he cannot establish power in the local area with justification. Instead, he is worried about the food rations of these troops every day.

"Greetings to my father!"

"Don't give me a gift, Wen Yong and Wen Huan, all sat down. Is there any discussion in the city? What about the series of decrees of Tai Shi Dong and the matter of Wang Situ going north to recruit Han Sui?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and Huangfu Jianshou said, "Father, there must be some discussions, especially those strange people, but there are also various opinions. In general, most people are more optimistic about Taishi Dong's series of clever tricks. As for Wang Situ's northward journey, haha, it's better not to say it."

Huangfu Song looked at Huangfu Jianshou with some strangeness. Huangfu Li smiled and said, "Father, what everyone is more concerned about is whether Wang Situ's adopted daughter will follow him to go north. It is said that this woman is beautiful, so the political meaning of Wang Situ's going north was greatly diluted."

Huangfu Song felt a little confused and looked at Huangfu Jianshou, who was still smiling ambiguously, and asked, "Wen Yong, what do you think of Wang Situ going north?"

Huangfu Jianshou quickly put away the slightly frivolous smile on his face and said in a solemn voice: "Father, there are two things worth paying attention to when Wang Situ goes north. One is that Taishi Dong is dissatisfied with Wang Situ, but he did not use the previous strict methods, but used this relatively gentle method. This is sending a signal to the outside world. If we cooperate with Taishi Dong's actions after the election for the emperor, Taishi Dong is changing some of his previous practices, at least, he is alert to the bad reputation in the past."

Huangfu Song nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face, but his eyes turned to Huangfu Li's face. Huangfu Jianshou's thoughts must have Huangfu Li's contribution, and even more of them were Huangfu Li's opinion. Children always think that they are very smart and can hide their little thoughts and actions from their parents, but they don't know that the children are all grown up by their parents. How can you hide your little thoughts? If your parents don't say it out, they just give you face.

"What about another purpose?"

"The other purpose is to take advantage of Wang Yunzhongzhi's personality and his reputation in the Han Dynasty. I really hope that Wang Yun can recruit Han Sui and Bian Zhang. In fact, Han Sui and Bian Zhang's rebellions over the past few years have basically been firmly restricted to the north by their father. Their purpose or demands have not been achieved at all. Unless they are willing to completely turn to the Xianbei people, their lives will only be even more difficult. And Taishi Dong chose this opportunity to see that Han Sui and Bian Zhang could no longer hold on, but these two people did not dare to completely turn to the Xianbei people."

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "It should be considered very insightful, but it is not enough, it is not enough! Where is Wen Huan?"

"Father, what the eldest brother said already includes the child's opinion, but the eldest brother and the eldest brother still have a guess. The eldest brother didn't say it just now. Brother, let the father judge this guess."

Huangfu Li answered Huangfu Song's question very respectfully, and at the same time gave Huangfu Jianshou the opportunity to show off again. Is this considered a respectful brother and brother? My younger brother is very respectful, but the elder brother is not generous enough!

Huangfu Jianshou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Father, the child also speculated whether Taishi Dong would cooperate with this move, and then put pressure on his father, oppressing his father to turn to Taishi Dong, or make a choice."

Huangfu Song sighed, looked at his two sons meaningfully, and picked up an edict from the table: "Look, the emperor's edict, let his father go south to Fengyi as the prefect, the original Fifth Battalion Army, leave two battalions in Wuwei, and the third battalion followers go south to Fengyi."

Huangfu Jianshou's eyes lit up, he stood up to take the edict, opened it and looked carefully, while Huangfu Li frowned slightly.

"Father, what do you think about this?"

Looking at Huangfu Jianshou with anticipation, Huangfu Song didn't need to ask what he already knew about him. Looking at Huangfu Li who was still thinking about the edict, Huangfu Song slowly stroked his beard and said:

"Wen Yongzang became a father and was ordered to be ordered?"

"Yes, I went south by the imperial edict, and my father was the formal prefect of Fengyi. Although Fengyi is now in the hands of the Guanzhong clan, as long as my father has the backer of Taishi Dong and has three battalions of soldiers, it is not difficult to slowly seize control of Fengyi. Even if it really doesn't work, we can control part of the buffer zone in Hedong to the east and let the soldiers settle and defend themselves. It is better than wanting to farm in Wuwei but not even have much farming land, right?"

Huangfu Song nodded without comment. This attitude made Huangfu Jianshou a little nervous. Huangfu Song turned to Huangfu Li: "Wenhuan, what do you think?"

"Father, the child also agrees with the imperial edict. If he does not, Taishi Dong has withdrawn from Hanzhong. In Wuwei County, Taishi Dong's prestige is especially great for his father. If we really want to fight, our army has no place and no one to reconcile, and three lacks food and grass, so we should not fight. Therefore, the eldest brother's view is correct. He should be subject to the imperial edict, even if he loses some army!"

Huangfu Li thought while saying that the speed was a bit slow, but Huangfu Song did not urge him. Huangfu Jianshou also looked at Huangfu Li with a smile. He was still very satisfied with his younger brother's obedience and tactfulness.

"Wen Huan's words are still not over, so continue."

Huangfu Li looked at Huangfu Jianshou and gave him a secret wink, as if he was asking Huangfu Jianshou to continue speaking, but how could Huangfu Jianshou know what Huangfu Li didn't say?

Seeing Huangfu Jianshou showing a helpless look, Huangfu Li smiled secretly and continued, "Father, the child thinks that even if he goes south by the order, there is actually a third choice besides the two plans of the eldest brother."

Huangfu Song smiled slightly and asked in surprise: "Oh, there is a third choice, let's talk about it!"
