Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1998: The two Huangfu soldiers set out to Xialin, Lian Po slaughtered Han Gui in three battles

Xuanyuan Huang used Fenghou as his lobbyist and asked Yang Su to lead the army to deal with the matter of Wanyan Xieye in Shanglin County.

Although Yang Su made a similar judgment to Xuanyuan Huang, the dispute over Shanglin was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

This place will definitely be related to Han Xin's future plans. Han Xin would not place a chess piece in such a place for no reason.

Therefore, if you accept this mission, it is still somewhat dangerous. You may even get yourself into trouble in the end.

However, he did not refuse the task.

However, this task was pushed onto another general of Dongcang.

Although Dongcang lost Qingbei and suffered several consecutive defeats, after all, at its peak, Dongcang had a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses.

Even now, the number of its troops is still as high as 100,000. However, because the imperial city was captured and the emperor died in battle, the morale of each unit has declined to varying degrees. Among them, the situation of the tens of thousands of troops who followed Yang Su back from Zhushan was the most significant.

However, these troops of about 100,000 were not completely under the control of Yang Su.

Yang Su's ability, family background, and qualifications are indeed beyond doubt in Dongcang. All in all, he is the undisputed number one general.

However, no one of the top generals in any place can control all the troops of that force! If such a person really appeared, something bad would happen. Sooner or later, there would be a fight between the monarch and his subjects.

Even Chu Xizhao did not have any real military power back then. His high prestige in the army did not mean that he had military power.

The troops that were withdrawn from the Zhushan front were now under the control of Yang Su. However, the troops originally stationed in Qingnan Road by Dongcang were under the control of two other people, Huangfu Duan and Huangfu Gui, members of the Dacang clan.

Of these two people, the former is a local figure, serving as the governor of Dongcang Qingnan, while Huangfu Guizi is a system figure, serving as the marching general of Dongcang Qingnan.

Huangfu Duan and several other people are absolutely unknown among the many royal families in Da Cang. However, it is such a person who holds the position of Governor of Qingnan Road in Dong Cang. Before that, he was even equal to the current Zhang Daozon. This in itself is extraordinary.

As for Huangfu Gui, he was a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When it comes to Liangzhou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty on Blue Star, perhaps many people will first think of Dong Zhuo, who made his fortune in Liangzhou and later controlled the government, or Ma Teng, Han Sui and other warlords who ruled Liangzhou.

In fact, before them, Liangzhou had produced three generals whose courtesy names contained the character "Ming". They all had made great military achievements, but their philosophies were different. They were Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan and Duan Xing, who were known as the "Three Mings of Liangzhou".

Huangfu Gui was born into a military family. He was smart and studious since childhood and had a deep understanding of military tactics. In his early years, he served as a county official, a senior official, and a doctor. Later, he was transferred to the post of Taishan governor and successfully suppressed the Shusun Wuji uprising, showing his outstanding governance and military talents.

Later, he fought with the Qiang people many times, defeating and subduing them repeatedly.

In their time, Huangfu Gui was a first-class general.

In fact, Yang Su pushed the task this time onto the two of them.

This is the current situation in Dongcang. Although a prince has been saved, few people expect him to be able to revive the country and rebuild Dongcang.

Huangfu Duan and Huangfu Gui, the two of them belong to the traditional thinking of most of the Da Cang clan. Even if the meat is rotten, it should be rotten in their own pot. Even if the Da Cang kingdom is going to rot, it should be rotten in the hands of the Huangfu family.

Therefore, Yang Su wanted to push this matter to them, and these two people took it over.

In this way, the two great clansmen, Huangfu Duan and Huangfu Gui, led an army of 50,000 and went straight to attack Wanyan Xieye's troops.

Kanto Road.

Just as Meng Tian had been unstoppable in Qingbei Road before, Zhao Song general Lian Po was also unstoppable in Guanxi Road.

In the past, Xicang only belonged to half of the Hexi Road. However, in order to seek cooperation with Xicang, Zhao Kuangyin successfully persuaded a group of generals led by Feng Yihan to defect to Zhongcang.

However, one of the prices paid was one of the two counties in Guandong Province.

Guandong Road, like the initial base of Zhenxi General's Mansion, has limited value. Even if he took those two counties, it would not help his strength that much.

But for Xicang, which only had half of the Hexi Road at that time, perfecting their western defense line and strengthening their strategic depth were of utmost importance.

Among all the separatist forces in the entire Da Cang, the Hexi Dao small court should be considered to have the worst living environment.

Surrounded by the top three separatist forces in Da Cang, no matter which direction they expand in, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But even in such a harsh environment, Xicang's strength is still developing steadily and orderly.

It has to be said that among the three families of East, Central and West in Dacang, West Cang, as the one with the most orthodox bloodline, does have a unique advantage in some aspects.

When Yan Ba ​​first received the news that the young prince was still alive, how could he remember Huangfu Guyuan? Especially when he heard that the young prince needed him, he went straight to Hedong Road without thinking!

People like Feng Yihan and Xia Ze were directly pulled over with just a letter.

And these people are just a microcosm.

After the small court of Hexi Dao was re-established, every now and then, there would be people who were loyal to the old Cang, who would come from all corners of the Great Cang, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.

Among these people, there are young talents from aristocratic families, as well as heroes from the grassroots.

Among these people, there are some who can see that Hexi Road is caught in such a gap and its future will be extremely difficult, but they still come!
Da Cang’s four hundred years of rule is still recognized by countless people!
In this life, if there were no more Wang Yu, Zhao Kuangyin, and Xuanyuan Huang compared to the normal historical trajectory, the situation would never have developed to the current level with only the Tianshi Dao and the Three Kings under the original historical trajectory. However, Xi Cang helped Zhao Kuangyin persuade Feng Yihan to surrender, thus helping Zhao Kuangyin win a very critical battle for them. Under such circumstances, they successfully obtained the two counties of Guandong Dao from Zhao Kuangyin.

However, as the war broke out between Zhao and Song, these two counties did not play the role they had imagined.

Although Zhao Kuangyin gave them these two counties, he left enough backup plans in the most critical cities.

As for the small court in Hexi Road, it took them too short a time to take over these two counties. Only a little over a year had passed since Zhao Kuangyin took over these two counties.

For more than a year, although the people in Hexi Road have tried their best to investigate the backup plan left by Zhao Kuangyin, they still have not been able to complete it perfectly.

As a result, along with the war with Zhao Song, the war in the west of the Hexi Road became a mess.

Moreover, within the Zhao Song Dynasty, the one who presided over this war was a famous general like Lian Po.

Among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, many people's first impression of Lian Po is that he is good at defense.

Lian Po was not only good at defense, but also had extraordinary offensive talents. His most famous battle was the Battle of Yangjin, when Zhao State and five other states jointly attacked Qi State. Lian Po led the Zhao army to attack Qi State. He planned and planned, took the lead, and successfully recovered Yangjin State.

And his outstanding skills in defeating Yan were also amazing.

In this battle, Lian Po ordered the Zhao border troops in Dai to resist the Yan army and consume their strength. On the other hand, he ordered the Zhao army to withdraw from the city to lure the Yan army deeper, while ordering the main force to move north.

Li Fu was ambitious and underestimated the strength of the Zhao army. He rashly led the Yan army to march straight into Zhao. However, when Lian Po personally led the main force and launched a fierce attack on the rear of the Yan army, the Yan army was unable to take care of both ends and fell into crisis.

Lian Po defeated the Yan army and killed its leader, Li Fu, causing the Yan army to be defeated. After learning of Li Fu's defeat, the Yan army hurriedly retreated back to defend the Yan State, but Lian Po had already set up an ambush, causing the Yan army to suffer heavy losses.

The two armies of Yan were defeated, but Lian Po advanced at lightning speed and directly surrounded the capital of Yan. The King of Yan was terrified and was forced to sign a contract with Zhao to cede five cities to Zhao.

It can be said that such a strong and capable general, let alone the small court of Hexi Dao Xi Cang, even if the several separatist forces of Da Cang are added together, there are only a few who can compare with him. Moreover, most of them are basically in the Northern Han.

As for the small court of Xicang in Hexi Road, there is even no one left!
Facing the swift attack of Lian Po, Xi Cang general Han Gui lost three cities in a row. Even he himself, after conquering the third city, stepped into an ambush that Lian Po had set up long ago while trying to break out, and eventually fell at the hands of Zhao Song general Gao Yanping.

Han Gui, as a general second only to Li Shikai in Hedong Province at that time, was able to re-establish the small court in Hexi Province, which was a great achievement for him.

With his qualifications in the Hexi small court, his status was only lower than that of a very small number of people such as Ying Xiong and Xu Hanzhang. His death in battle was a shock to the Xicang small court in Hexi Road.

The most crucial thing is that he was also the supreme commander of the Hexi Dao small court in the two counties of Guanxi. It is conceivable that the loss of the supreme commander would have an impact on these two counties.

At the most critical moment, it was Zhuge Linghu, the inspector appointed by the Hexi Road small court in Guanxi Road, who stood up and temporarily stabilized the situation.

It's just that although Zhuge Linghu is considered to be resourceful, he is not very good at personally marching and fighting. However, although he is not good at it, he can find people who are good at it.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.

Zhou Yiming, who was originally just a small general, was unexpectedly promoted by him and given an important task in times of crisis.

Zhou Yiming was a hero who emerged from the grassroots and surrendered to the small court of Hexi Dao. However, he did not appear from the grassroots like those children of aristocratic families, who had people from above to take care of things for them after they came here.

After all, the bigger the family, the more old relatives and friends their elders have. For example, Zhuge Linghu, Xiao Ruolin, Xu Hanzhang, Sima Wude and other high-ranking officials of the Hexi Dao small court may know their elders.

People like Zhou Yiming who come from humble backgrounds may have sincerity in their hearts, but without anyone to recommend them, they can only start from the bottom.

He was able to become a general within a year, and that too without any war, because he met a mentor like Zhuge Linghu.

Zhou Yiming is indeed a genius. Anyone who can be favored by a cunning person like Zhuge Linghu and who can be entrusted with tasks in times of crisis by a cunning person like Zhuge Linghu must be a man of great ability.

If he was like those children of aristocratic families and had received training resources that could match theirs, or if he grew up for another ten or twenty years, he might really be qualified to fight against a top-notch general like Lian Po.

However, he is still a little immature now!
But even so, his performance after facing Lian Po was already slightly better than Han Gui's.

You know, although both of them were fighting against Lian Po, the situations they were in were completely different.

With Han Gui's qualifications, he is able to fully mobilize the human and material resources under his command.

But Zhou Yiming was different. He was promoted on the front line. Could the other generals who were originally higher in rank than him submit to him so easily? Even if Zhuge Linghu stood behind him, those who should not submit to him would still not submit to him.

In the early period after he came to power, there were several troublesome generals who opposed him openly or covertly, and some even committed vicious incidents of simply disobeying military orders.

Whether it is Zhuge Linghu or Zhou Yiming, both of them are tough enough. To be more precise, Zhuge Linghu did not want to be so tough, but the current reality does not allow him to use any doubtful means, so he can only be so tough.

These two men publicly beheaded four generals who had disobeyed his military orders or were secretly disrespectful to him. One of them was even Huangfu Qing's nephew.

Who is Huangfu Qing?

His name was one of the five ministers who were able to be re-established in the small court of Hexi Road.

The entire Xicang royal family is headed by him!

One can imagine the status of this man in the small court of Hexi Road. However, his nephew was slaughtered like this, and was executed openly in front of the three armies.

It is conceivable that once this news is passed back, it will cause a huge uproar in the small court of Hexi Road.
