Chapter 17 Huangfu Song

Since Dong Zhuo has been living in Meiwu, and his subordinates have become slack and lazy, after all, during the war, Xiliang soldiers are the army, if they are slack, they are thieves.

In an era when human life was as cheap as grass, the personal qualities of the army were almost nonexistent.

Although Zhang Ming has been playing willfully in the Gaomen Palace, his ears have been listening to the affairs outside the palace, whether it is news from Dong Zhuo or the news from the eighteen princes, in short, he will not refuse anyone.

Since Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, it took only a few days for the princes of the Eighteenth Route to completely defeat the Sishui Pass, Hulao Pass and all the obstacles along the way to Luoyang. It was the same, and Luoyang was swept away again. The poor population of Luoyang people, after these two raids, there is no more than one in ten.

Some Luoyang people ran to Xingyang with their families, and some Luoyang people ran in the direction of Chang'an. In short, the whole Luoyang became very depressed.

And Zhang Ming also heard an important news, that is, Sun Jian found Yuxi in the Luoyang Palace.

When Zhang Ming was still in the court meeting before, he found that there was no jade seal in the court hall at all. He searched all the places he could find, but he couldn't find the jade seal.

In fact, he still needs this jade seal very much. Although it is reasonable to say that the emperor is here, the jade seal is not important, but the legitimacy of Zhang Ming as emperor was granted by Dong Zhuo. He was killed by Dong Zhuo because he was too clever to control.

When Zhang Ming drafted the corresponding imperial edict according to Dong Zhuo, the stamp on the imperial edict was not a real jade seal. The jade seal was forged by Dong Zhuo, and the workmanship was very rough.

Anyway, in front of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, it really doesn't matter whether there is a jade seal or not.

But Zhang Ming needs it. Yuxi can increase his legitimacy as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, at least enhance the legitimacy of the imperial edict.

For Zhang Ming, his legitimacy as an emperor only comes from Dong Zhuo's powerful control, and the aristocratic family still does not recognize it.After all, he has no legitimate inheritance from the late emperor.

This also led to a serious consequence, that is, some of the eighteen princes wanted to establish another emperor. Anyway, they had already occupied Luoyang, so why not set up another court like Dong Zhuo.

However, Zhang Ming laughed at the idea of ​​the princes.

Although the vassals of the Eighteenth Route captured Luoyang City, they were not united at all. If they continued to lead troops to attack Chang'an, Dong Zhuo's current strength would not be able to defend Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo’s military strength seems to be a lot, even as many as [-] at its peak, but in fact Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao just entered Luoyang, Dong Zhuo’s military strength was no more than [-], the reason why it expanded to this level was mainly because Dong Zhuo recruited troops in Luoyang Forty to fifty thousand.The Xiliang soldiers brought by Dong Zhuo are Dong Zhuo's real core troops, and the other troops are in the hands of his subordinates.

As for Dong Zhuo's troops, for example, Xu Rong's army, a typical Liaodong faction, was defending in Xingyang before, and Dong Zhuo's main generals Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and others were still in charge. With a group of troops.

This is also the main reason why Dong Zhuo's military strength seemed to be very large, but it fell apart immediately after his death, because except for his own army, the other army generals refused to obey anyone.

Zhang Ming already knew the distribution of Dong Zhuo's army well. After all, after killing Dong Zhuo, he needed to deal with these Dong Zhuo's subordinates. At least he couldn't let Wang Yun handle this problem.

Through the fourth life simulation, Zhang Ming discovered that as long as Wang Yun is allowed to deal with this problem, it will inevitably lead to failure.This is not only a historical inevitability, but also caused by Wang Yun's character.

Now Zhang Ming wanted to contact someone, an important general, at least a general who would be of great benefit to him in controlling the chaos after Dong Zhuo's death in the future.

Huangfusong, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

He made great contributions to the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Liang was killed by him.

Of course, these are not the focus of Zhang Ming's concern. What he cares about is that Huang Fusong once worked with Dong Zhuo.

In 188 AD, during the Liangzhou Rebellion, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Huangfusong as the left general and Dong Zhuo as the former general. In this battle, Huangfusong performed extremely well, but Dong Zhuo's performance was not satisfactory.So after this battle, Dong Zhuo became jealous of Huangfusong.

In 189 A.D., that is, the year when Emperor Han Ling became seriously ill, Dong Zhuo was asked to hand over the troops to Huangfusong, because the old army under Dong Zhuo had been Huangfusong's subordinates before, but Dong Zhuo refused to accept the order.Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, believed that Dong Zhuo's disobedience and disobedience were unforgivable crimes, and urged Huangfu Song to launch a crusade.But Huangfusong did not do this, but reported to the court, so Dong Zhuo hated Huangfusong even more.

In 190 AD, after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he wanted to kill Huangfusong, but Huangfusong's son, Huangfu Jianshou, had a deep friendship with Dong Zhuo, so he saved Huangfusong's life.

Now Huangfu Song is Yilang, and his official position is very low.

Because Huangfusong is not a general at the moment, Zhang Ming's fourth talent skill "Forcing Loyalty" cannot be used on him, and Zhang Ming has no plans to use him.

Zhang Ming has already figured out who to use it on.

As for Huangfusong's role, it must be used to control his old department after Dong Zhuo's death. After all, Dong Zhuo's old department was also Huangfusong's subordinate. As their old boss, it must not be difficult to regain control.

And the most important thing is that Huangfusong is loyal to the court and has no thoughts of rebellion, so he can rest assured.

But even so, Zhang Ming had to get in touch first. After all, what was said in the history books and what he saw in person may not necessarily be the same.

Especially now that Dong Zhuo is not in Chang'an, but enjoying himself in Meiwu.

As for how to meet Huangfusong, it couldn't be easier.

Yilang, who Huangfusong worked for, sometimes served as a palace guard in the palace.

If Dong Zhuo was still in Chang'an before, Zhang Ming would definitely not be as bold as he is now.But now Zhang Ming is just a standard brat, a brat who loves to play with all kinds of things. In short, Zhang Ming has played all over the Chang'an Palace.

If it had been before, maybe Dong Zhuo's guards would have restricted some of Zhang Ming's trips, but now that Dong Zhuo is not there, the whole palace is not under Zhang Ming's world. As long as he doesn't leave the gate of the palace, everything is easy to talk about.

As for where Huangfusong is and what he looks like, Zhang Ming asked Cui Ming to tell him.

However, Zhang Ming would not go directly to Huangfusong, he purposely walked to the place guarded by Huangfusong after playing around in the palace.

Of course Zhang Ming was accompanied by several eunuchs, including Cui Ming and some eunuchs who were dedicated to serving him.

When Zhang Ming saw the person in front of him, he knew that this person was the Huangfusong he was looking for. He saw this person with white hair and silver beard, straight waist, and his eyes were fixed on the distance.

Zhang Ming frivolously said to Huangfusong, "That old man, come and be my horse."
