The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 75

[Chapter 75: Divided into 4 Roads]

Light and six years, December.

In Luoyang City, the North Palace is not a palace.

At this time, in this splendid, extravagant and solemn palace, the master of the Han Empire, Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, was sitting high on top of his emperor.

Looking far from below, I saw Liu Hong dressed in a black and red imperial robe and wearing twelve black imperial crowns. It seems to be some kind of disease.

However, even if his body is a little weak, as the master of the Han Empire, he does not dare to let anyone ignore his words and deeds.

Hundreds of civil and military ministers standing under the seat, all dressed in majestic and heavy official uniforms, lined up neatly in two rows, according to their official positions.

“Tell me, what should I do? It’s just a few months, and in the blink of an eye, Yizhou lost more than half of it, and even his prefecture CD, a Xiongcheng with a population of hundreds of thousands, was destroyed in ten days. I can’t even support it for more than ten days and wait for reinforcements!”

Liu Hong’s angry voice spread throughout the hall.

“Why should you worry, Your Majesty? It’s just a mere rebel, I think it’s just a mob, so why worry. As long as my court sends a general to lead the court’s elite army to Yizhou to gather local county soldiers, it will be settled in a few months. .” At this time, the third prince of the imperial court, Chen Wen, the military commander in charge, responded.

“Then you can be recommended by someone, and you can calm down this calamity.” Hearing Chen Wen’s words, Liu Hong asked aloud from the calmed anger in his heart.

“Beidi County’s guardian, Huangfu Song, is a stable person, knows military affairs, and is often ambitious and quick-witted, but he can take on this important task.” Hearing Emperor Ling’s question, Chen Wen confidently said the candidate he had already determined in his mind.

“What do all the Aiqing think? Can Huangfu Song take up such a big job?” After hearing Chen Wen’s answer, Liu Hong was not in a hurry to make a decision. Instead, he asked many ministers in the DPRK. Check.

“Huangfu Song came from a family of generals in all dynasties, is familiar with military affairs, has a strategic mind, and can be a general.” Sikong Yuan Wei also came out to support. He was born in a family, and he was very supportive of Huangfu Song, who was also born, and realized that this was a revitalization of the family in the imperial court. Opportunity to speak.

“Huangfu Song has led troops to guard the north all the year round, and has repeatedly confronted many barbarians in the Xiongnu and Xianbei. He has a strategy and can be a general.” He very much hoped to have a relationship with the aristocratic family, so as to get rid of his butcher-born general He Jin hurriedly responded. Attached.

“Chen wait for the second opinion!” Then a sound of approval sounded, and many officials of the court agreed with the opinion of Taiwei Chen Wen.

Seeing that the military officials in the court were all in agreement, Liu Hong still looked at the permanent servants beside him, wanting to see how they viewed it.

“Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Huangfu Song, the governor of Beidi County, can take on such a big job!” said Lu Qiang, a regular servant with higher political wisdom and a more upright person.

Then the other permanent attendants saw Lu Qiang’s words, considering that Huangfu Song is indeed a talented person, they can calm down this judgment, and they are not too embarrassing for Lu Qiang’s face, so they have to nod in agreement.

“Alright then, I will summon Huangfu Song, the governor of Beidi County, to come to Beijing, accept the letter, prepare for the military, and set out to attack the rebels.” Seeing that both officials and eunuchs in the DPRK, whether officials or eunuchs, believed that Huangfu Song could attack the rebels, they readily agreed. their recommendations.

“Since the candidates for the expedition have been decided, let’s discuss how to arrange the vacated Beidi county governor and officials of the various counties in Yizhou.” After talking about the expedition generals, the very business-minded Lingdi Liu Hong Asked again about the issue of the official’s buying and selling.

“Your Majesty, Yuan Shao, my nephew, can serve as the governor of Beidi.” It was Sikong Yuanhui who said this.

“Your Majesty, the imperial envoy Liu Yan can be the governor of Yizhou.” It was Sikong Liu Yu who said this.

“His Majesty……”

For a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall, and you came and went to compete for the places of those officials, wanting to use it to install your own henchmen.

The day’s political affairs came to an end in such a commotion, and the senior officials in the DPRK were satisfied with each other and returned to their homes.

Obviously, those people have arranged their henchmen in various places, and they did not return empty-handed.

Half a month later, Huangfu Song, the governor of Beidi County, received the imperial order and hurriedly handed over his official seal. Following the angel who read the imperial edict, he hurried back to Luoyang.

After resting for a night, after bathing and changing clothes, he entered the palace to meet the emperor.

After some in-depth discussion, he left the palace and entered the military camp with the tiger talisman given by the emperor.

Qualified soldiers were selected one by one to form an army of 30,000 people in total.

After three months of training in Luoyang, these people will go to Yizhou to join the local county soldiers to fight the rebels when the snow and ice are gone and the weather is no longer so cold.

At this time, Zhong Yu, after breaking the CD city, used the total of 4,000 luck points he had obtained before, and summoned scribes of all levels to fill the vacancies in the counties and counties.

Some military generals were summoned. In the Three Kingdoms game, they were generals whose military commanders were over 70 or 80.

Those below 70 will not be described, and those above 80 include four of them, namely Wang Fang,

Li Zhen, Han Kai, and Zhao Ping commanded over 80 generals, and each assigned 5,000 soldiers and horses to them, and ordered them to attack Guanghan County, Hanjia County, Wenshan County, and Qianwei County around Shu County. .

After a month of fighting in various places, the lost counties of Shu and Guanghan have been completely pacified, and the four generals have also completely captured the counties they attacked and brought them under their command.

At this time, Huangfu Song had just arrived in Luoyang, ready to train his troops and then attack Zhong Yu.

In the emperor’s palace in CD city, Zhong Yu and his subordinates were sitting in the political hall, discussing the next strategy together.

At this time, after a month of battle, Zhong Yu had obtained about 20,000 elite soldiers. These soldiers could be said to be first-class in the entire Han Dynasty. strength.

In addition to these elite soldiers, 200,000 cannon fodder troops were drawn from the six newly occupied counties under their command, ready to be used for consumption in the next siege.

At this time, Zhong Yu had only one Yinping County in the north of Yizhou that was not under his rule.

In the eastern part of Yizhou, there are five counties, namely Basi County, Badong County, Ba County, Fuling County and Jiangyou County, which are not under the rule.

Since the southern part of Yizhou is mostly wild and miasma is everywhere, it has not been involved.

The six western counties have already been occupied by themselves.

After discussions between Zhong Yu and the generals, it was decided that the troops should be divided into four routes. One route, led by Wang Fang, led 3,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 cannon fodder troops to enter Yunnan County, Yizhou County, and finally Yongchang County.

The first route, led by Li Zhen, led 5,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 cannon fodder troops, from Zhudi County to Poke County, Jianning County, and finally to Xinggu County.

The two armies cooperated with each other to pacify the southern part of Yizhou.

All the way, led by Zhao Ping, he led 5,000 elite soldiers to invade Yinping County, and then moved to Hanzhong, and settled in five counties in the north of Yinping County, Wudu County, Hanzhong County, Xicheng County, and Fangling County.

To prevent the imperial army from attacking Yizhou from the north.

In the end, Zhong Yu and Han Kai led 3,000 soldiers of the system, 7,000 elite soldiers, and 120,000 cannon fodder troops to attack the five counties in western Yizhou.

So blooming in all directions, strive to pacify the entire Yizhou within three months.
