Chapter 240 Three Old Generals at the end of the Han Dynasty 1

Huangfu Song (?-195), the word Yizhen. People from Chaona County, Anding County (now Pengyang, Ningxia). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the nephew of Huangfu, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and came from a family of generals.

His father, Huangfu, once served as the governor of Yanmen County and served as a border general for a long time.

When Huangfu Song was a teenager, he had good poetry and books, and he was familiar with bows and horses. At first, he was detected as Xiaolian and Maocai. As Langzhong, he moved to serve as the county magistrate of Baling and Linfen, and resigned due to the death of his father. Later, Lieutenant Chen Yu and General Dou Wu successively appointed him as an official, but they did not answer the call. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty recruited him as a waiter by bus and moved to the governor of the north.

In 184 A.D. (the seventh year of Guanghe), because the traitor Tang Zhou told the secret, Zhang Jiaoxing spread all over the world and launched an uprising, which was historically known as the "Yellow Turban Rebellion". Wherever the Yellow Turban Rebels went, they burned the government and robbed the countryside. For a while, the state and county were lost, the chief officials fled, and the world responded, and the capital was shocked.

The court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was panicked and immediately took repressive measures. First of all, Emperor Ling of the Han ordered the states and counties to set up lieutenants and provide protective guards at eight passes outside Luyang - Hangu, Taigu, Guangcheng, Yique, Yiyuan, Xuanmen, Mengjin and Xiaopingjin. Then, he appointed He Jin as the general and led the left and right Yulin troops to station in Duting. .

The court also adopted the suggestions of Huangfu Song and Zhongchang Shilu Qiang, lifted *, pardoned the party members of the world, and took out the Tibetan money and the Xiyuan stable horses to give them to the generals. In addition, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty used Lu Zhi as the northern middle general, Huangfu Song as the left middle general and Zhu Jun as the right middle general. They held their own festivals and transferred the national elite soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban Rebel Army.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun transferred five schools (five schools of the Northern Army, which are the main standing army of the central government, that is, the guard soldiers of the five lieutenants of Tunqi, Yueqi, infantry, Changshui and Shot Sound) and three rivers (Hedong, Hanoi, Henan), and recruited strong soldiers at the same time, with a total of more than 40,000. Each of them led one to jointly suppress the uprising army of Yingchuan (Yang Zhai, now Yu County, Henan Province).

Zhu Jun fought against the Yellow Turban Army and failed. Huangfu Song retreated to the Changshe (now northeast of Changge County, Henan Province). Bo Cai led a large army to surround the city. At that time, there were few soldiers in the city, and there were few people, and the army was shocked.

Huangfu Song comforted his subordinates and said, "There are strange changes in the use of soldiers, not the number of soldiers. Now thieves camp according to the grass, and it is easy to catch fire because of the wind. If they set fire in the night, they must be frightened and scattered. I sent troops to attack and surround them on all sides. The credit of Tian Danshou's victory by attacking swallows with fire bulls can be realized.

The sky fulfilled people's wishes, and a strong wind suddenly broke out that night. Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to tie their torches and climb the wall. First, he sent the elites to sneak out of the siege, set fire to them, and then lit the torches in the city to echo it.

Huangfu Song took advantage of this momentum and rushed out with drums. The Yellow Turban Rebels lacked combat experience, panicked and were forced to retreat. At this time, Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, was also ordered to come, so Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Zhu Jun combined their troops to take advantage of the victory. The yellow scarf rebels resisted tenaciously, and tens of thousands of people were slaughtered. Huangfu Song was awarded the title of Marquis of the Capital.

Then, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun took advantage of the victory to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Runan and Chen, and chased Bocai and attacked Peng Tuo, winning consecutively and pacified the three counties.

In August, Huangfu Song defeated the yellow scarf department in Cangting, captured Buyi and slaughtered more than 7,000 people.

At this time, Zhang Jiao occupied Guangzong and controlled the hinterland of Hebei. Lu Zhi was falsely criticized by eunuchs and recalled, and his successor Dong Zhuo was defeated. Therefore, the court ordered Huangfu Song to lead the army to attack.

At this critical moment, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and Zhang Liang took on the heavy responsibility of guarding Guangzong. Huangfu Song attacked the city. Because Zhang Liang's soldiers failed to succeed, he closed the camp to watch the change. When Zhang Liang was confused, he relaxed his vigilance.

Huangfu Song immediately transferred troops at night, and rushed into the array when the chickens crowed. The Yellow Turban Army hurriedly responded to the battle. Zhang Liang died in the battle, killing more than 30,000 people, and more than 50,000 people died in the river. Huangfu Song burned more than 30,000 yellow scarves and heavy trucks, cut Zhang Jiao's coffin and poked the body, and passed it on to the capital.

In November, Huangfu Song and the giant deer Taiguan Feng Yi captured Quyang (now northwest of Jin County, Hebei Province), killed Zhang Bao, and killed more than 100,000 prisoners. Huangfu Song built the bones of 100,000 people into a "Beijing View". The Han court appointed Huangfu Song as the left bicycle riding general, led the herdsman of Jizhou, and made him the Marquis of Huaili. The rent tax of the two counties of Huaili and Meiyang, with a total of 8,000 households.

After calming down the main force of the yellow scarf, Huangfu Song asked to exempt Jizhou from one year's land rent to support the hungry people. Emperor Han Ling followed his advice.

The people wrote a song saying, "The world is in chaos, and the city is a ruin. If the mother does not protect her son, she lost her wife and husband, relying on the emperor to live in peace."

Huangfu Song suppressed the yellow scarf and shocked the world, but at that time, the government was not good and the sea was empty. Yan Zhong, a native of Hanyang, advised him to seize the opportunity and claim it in the south. Huangfu Song doesn't have to plan it.

In the same year, Beigong Boyu and Xian Lingqiang of Huangzhong (now Huangyuan, Gansu) rose up, supporting Bianzhang and Han Sui as commanders, and killed Ling Zheng, the captain of Qiang, and Chen Yi, the governor of Jincheng.

In 185 AD (the second year of Zhongping), Beigong Boyu and others invaded the Sanfu area, and the court ordered Huangfu Song to return to Chang'an to defend the royal garden mausoleum.

When Huangfu Song waszheng zheng zhang jiao, he passed through Yedi and found that Zhao Zhong's residence, the house of Zhongchang, had exceeded the regulations, so he appealed to the emperor to confiscate it.

In addition, Zhang Rang, the servant of Zhongchang, asked him for 50 million yuan, but he refused to give it. So Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang joined hands to impeach Huangfu Song for his success in a series of battles, which cost money and food.

Lingdi listened to the slander, recalled Huangfu Song, took back the seal of the general on his left bicycle, and cut off 6,000 households. It was changed to the township, and 2,000 households were sealed.

In November 188 (the fifth year of Zhongping), the Liangzhou people's kingdom surrounded Chencang (now Baojidong, Shaanxi). At the time of this employment, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Huangfu Song as General Zuo and supervised the former general Dong Zhuo, each leading 20,000 soldiers to resist the enemy.

Dong Zhuo proposed to quickly enter Chencang. He said, "Smart people do not lose opportunity, and brave people do not hesitate. If you save it now, the city can be saved; if you don't save it, the city will be destroyed. The situation of preservation or destruction is at this time.

Huangfu Song said, "No. It's better to defeat people without fighting than to win a hundred battles. So you must first make an invincible appearance and wait for the time when you can defeat the enemy. Invincible is in me, but in the enemy.

The enemy can't defend, while our county army is very active in attacking and can fight wherever they want. The surplus seems to move above the nine heavens, and the insufficient seems to fall under the nine earths.

Although Chencang is small, the fortifications defending the city are solid and complete, not the pit of the nine places. Although the army of the kingdom is strong, what I can't save is not the situation above the nine days.

Without a nine-day situation, the attacker will suffer. If you fall under nine places, the defense will not be broken. The kingdom has now fallen into a victim's land, and Chen Cang is guaranteed not to be broken. I can stir up troops and get a complete victory. Why should I save it!"

did not take Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

In 189 A.D. (the sixth year of Zhongping), the kingdom besieged Chencang for more than 80 days from winter to spring, but due to the solidity of the city, it failed to capture it in the end. The troops were tired and had to relieve the siege and retreat.

Huangfu Song immediately raised an army to pursue him. Dong Zhuo dissuaded and said, "No, the art of war said that the defeated enemy should not be chased, the retreated troops, and should not be forced. Now, we are chasing the kingdom, forcing the retreating troops, chasing defeated enemies, besieged beasts, and struggling. Bees are poisonous, not to mention so many people!"

Huangfu Song said, "No. In the past, I didn't attack to avoid his vigor, but now I attack until the enemy is weak.

We are attacking the exhausted enemy, not the retreating troops. The troops of the kingdom are ready to escape and have no fighting spirit. Using a majestic array to defeat the chaotic division, this is not called chasing the poor bandits.

After saying that, he led the soldiers to pursue alone and ordered Dong Zhuo to the queen. Huangfu Song won a series of victories, defeating the troops of the kingdom and killing more than 10,000 people. Dong Zhuo was ashamed and regretful, and hated Huangfu Song more and more.

In 189 (the sixth year of Zhongping), Emperor Ling was seriously ill and appointed Dong Zhuo as the herdsman of Bingzhou and asked him to hand over his troops to the commander of Huangfu Song.

Dong Zhuo refused to accept the order. Huangfu Song's nephew Huangfu Li thought that Dong Zhuo was treacherous and committed unforgivable, and urged Huangfu Song to fight against him.

Huangfu Song said, "Although Dong Zhuo is guilty of not obeying orders, it is also my responsibility to kill him. It's better to play it openly and let the court deal with this matter. So the matter was reported, and the court scolded Dong Zhuo, who was even more resentful of Huangfu Song.

In 190 (the first year of Chuping), Dong Zhuo recruited Yin Gaixun as a councilor in order to prevent a fire in the backyard. At that time, 30,000 troops were stationed in Fufeng County. Gaixun secretly discussed with Huangfu Song to fight against Dong Zhuo.
