Chapter 11

Lu Bu did not answer directly, but asked, "Is there a map with a radius of 500 miles?"

Huang Zhong hurriedly ordered the soldiers to bring a map in the Sili area.

Lu Bu pointed to Mianchi County, Hongnong County: "This is the former governor of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo. The general believed Yuan Shao's slander and insisted on asking Dong Zhuo to enter the capital to kill the traitors, but Dong Zhuo arrived in Mianchi and kept his troops in order to understand the situation in the capital. Mianchi was only three or four hundred miles away from Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo's Western Liang cavalry was mostly cavalry, and he could walk a hundred miles in a hurry. In this way, as long as the general was harmed by the traitors, Dong Zhuo would know the situation of the leaderlessness in Luoyang City. His 100,000 Xiliang army could reach Luo within two days and two nights.

Yangcheng. Dong Zhuo is the clan brother of the late Empress Dowager Dong. We all know that Empress Dowager Dong was the general who ordered the killing of the gods. Dong Zhuo would use this as an excuse to harm the He family, and even abolish the son of Empress Dowager He and make King Chenliu, whom Empress Dowager Dong, the emperor. On the one hand, to shock the ministers, and to establish the reputation of supporting the emperor, in this way, Empress Dowager He and the young emperor died not far away, but at this time, you, Huang Hansheng, still resigned and returned to Nanyang. Could it be that you, Huang Hansheng, are you, an ungrateful and greedy person who is afraid of death?"

A word to wake up the dreamer. Huang Zhong was originally a loyal and righteous person. After asking Lu Bu to give advice, Huang Zhong nodded: "I really can't leave. I want to stay to protect the emperor and the queen mother. But I am a martial artist and only have 2,000 people under my command. How can I fight against Dong Zhuo's 100,000 cavalry?"

Lu Bu was confident and smiled faintly: "I have 8,000 cavalry in Bingzhou. Wu Meng of Bingzhou is engaged in Zhang Yang. Zhang Liao has returned to Bingzhou to recruit soldiers. It is estimated that he can get 4,000. I will be ordered by the Empress Dowager to recruit the army of the General and the General of the Cavalry. He Miao. It is estimated that he can get 20,000. In this way, our army will not be less than 30,000. Thirty thousand will be defeated in field battles, and it is enough to defend the city. Besides, Dong Zhuo dares to attack Luoyang City? Then it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be attacked by the whole world."

When Huang Zhong heard this, he felt relieved: "It seems that the plan for the present is to quickly gather the army of the General and the General of the Cavalry, and gather all our troops together to fight Dong Zhuo."

Huang Zhong had only been in charge of military power in the left camp of the Yulin Army for only a month, and he used his own abilities to gather the morale of the army. With the assistance of his two thousand soldiers, Lu Bu went to recruit the Yulin Right Army.

Yuan Yin, the captain of the Yulin Right Army, was Yuan Shu's younger brother. He originally led his close troops to follow Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to kill eunuchs. Later, Cao Cao reminded him to take over the military power of the Yulin Army. Unfortunately, Lu Bu took the lead first, and he did not have the imperial edict of the empress dowager at all, so he could only ask the captain of the Sili to hand over the military power before he could get the military power.

Lu Bu looked at the soldiers in the middle camp coldly and found that everyone had no faces of hatred against the enemy. It seemed that Yuan Yin was not able to win the army, so he whispered to Huang Zhong: "The one who harmed the general is not just the ten eunuchs."

Huang Zhong frowned: "Fengxian, besides General He Miao, who else is accomplice?"

Lu Bu sneered: "It is Yuan Shao, the son of the Yuan family of our fourth generation, our third generation. I have heard that the general had reached an agreement with the ten generals. The ten generals gave up their power to go home to support their old age. The general spared their lives. In this way, the world would be peaceful. But Yuan Shao was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he repeatedly advised the general to kill the eunuchs, but the general still let them go. Yuan Shao was very unwilling to accept it, so he secretly wrote a letter to notify the states and counties, saying that it was the general that he ordered the eunuchs to arrest the eunuchs' relatives and were imprisoned. The eunuchs were desperate and had to take the risk to kill the general." (Note 1)

When Huang Zhong heard this, he became angry and said, "Although I, Huang Hansheng, is a martial artist, I can understand that Yuan Shao's previous plans to the general have all had bad intentions. Yuan's family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples and officials are everywhere in the world. As long as the general dies, the world will belong to their Yuan family."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong took out a large bow from behind with lightning speed, slapped the arrow, and shot Yuan Yin's throat with an arrow. Yuan Yin's body fell from the wall of the village with a thunderous sound. Huang Zhong took the imperial edict from Lu Bu and raised it high: "According to the empress dowager's edict, rectify the Yulin Army, those who disobey orders and those who do not obey will be killed!"

The reason why Lu Bu didn't do anything by himself was that he wanted Huang Zhong to make a confession. Huang Zhong seemed to understand what Lu Bu meant and executed Yuan Yin at a lightning speed.

Seeing Huang Zhong so brave, the two thousand soldiers of the Yulin Right Army surrounded the three thousand cavalry of Bingzhou and the surrendered Yulin Left Army. In addition, with the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager, they opened the gate and accepted the incorporation.

After dealing with He Jin's Yulin Army, five hundred soldiers were left to guard the camp, and Lu Bu and Huang Zhong led 6,000 troops to recover another army under He Jin's command of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army.

The fifth battalion of the Northern Army refers to the guards commanded by the five lieutenants of the garrisons of the garrisons of the Yue cavalry, infantry, Changshui, and Shooting. Each battalion had about two thousand people, and a total of ten thousand people were in total. The fifth battalion of the Northern Army was Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army. At this time, Liu Biao was in full swing in the Pingleguan outside Luoyang City. Liu Biao was once quarreled with Zhang Jian, the same county, and was forced to flee. After the party ban was lifted, he was appointed as the general He Jin and recommended to enter the court again. He was not in office for a long time and did not gain real power. The lower lieutenants of the school Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others were all disobedient and did not take Liu Biao seriously.

While Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others were following Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers to kill eunuchs with their close troops, Lu Bu used thunder to kill several middle-level officers and quickly stabilized the fifth battalion of the Northern Army.

As a general of chariots and cavalry, He Miao had as many as 8,000 troops under his command. Because the camp was near the palace, the news that He Miao was killed by Wu Kuang and others quickly reached the camp. The people under He Miao were in panic. Some officers even agreed to flee Luoyang together to avoid disaster. Fortunately, Lu Bu arrived in time and announced the imperial order of Empress Dowager He. The morale of the army quickly stabilized and the reorganization proceeded smoothly.

The Hu Ben Army under Guangluxun was led by Yuan Shu, the general of Hu Ben, who is still leading hundreds of troops to chase and kill eunuchs. Lu Bu took advantage of the opportunity to surround the remaining Hu Ben Army, and announced the removal of Yuan Shu's position as Hu Ben, and was also highly valued. Gao Shun and Gao Zhongping were appointed as Hu Ben, and then severely killed dozens of Yuan's party that Yin Fengyang refused to accept, and successfully incorporated the Hu Ben Army.

After all the troops gathered together, Lu Bu used Empress Dowager He's edict and appointed Huang Zhong as the General of the Yulin Central Army to command the left and right Yulin Army, while Gao Shun was the General of the Hu Ben, and the Hu Ben Army and the He Miao army. Lu Bu claimed to be the Marquis of the Northern Army to command the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. After the situation calmed down, Lu Bu would ask Empress Dowager He for the real appointment edict.

Note 1: "Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Biography of He Jin" records: Shao was afraid of Jin's plan, so he threatened him and said, "The relationship has been completed, the situation has been revealed, and the matter has been left to change. What will the general want to wait? But don't he decide it early?" Jin then appointed Shao as the lieutenant of the Si Li, and ordered him to break it. Wang Yun, the chief secretary, was appointed as the prime minister of Henan. Shao sent a military officer in Luoyang to inspect the eunuchs, and urged Dong Zhuo and others to rush to the post to advance to calm down. The empress dowager was afraid, so he all dismissed the Zhongchang attendant Xiaohuangmen and sent him to return to the house, but left Jinsu's private person to guard the provincial government. All the Chang's attendants all went to Jinsu to apologize for their crimes, but they only took care of him. Jin said, "The world is the Huns and Huns, and they are worried about all the kings. Now Dong Zhuo is here, why don't you go to the country early?" Yuan Shao advised Jin to make a decision, but after repeated attempts, Jin refused. Shao also wrote to the states and counties, falsely proclaiming the intention of the archery and arrested the relatives of the officials in the case.
