Chapter 171

Jincheng county.

"Wenhou, how can you be like this

Beigong Boyu couldn't believe it and looked at Li Wenhou in front of him. He was hit by an arrow on his shoulder and was in a great sweat.

Li Wenhou said with a bitter smile: "this time a certain loss can be big, Huangfu old son can calm a million yellow scarves, it is really different."

Beigong Boyu quickly helped Li Wenhou to his seat, and asked, "Wenhou, are you defeated?"

Li Wenhou said with a sad smile: "it's not only a defeat, but a 30000 army under one's command does not save one in ten..."

"What?"

Beigong Boyu couldn't help but lose his voice. Li Wenhou had 30000 troops under his command. If he didn't save one army, wouldn't it mean that the whole army was destroyed?

He couldn't help but stand up and walked a few steps to the left and right with his hands on his back. In a short moment, sweat oozed from his forehead, and the upper and lower lips kept rubbing against each other.

Beigong Boyu suddenly turned around and glared at Li Wenhou: "thirty thousand troops have been destroyed. How many casualties are there?"

It doesn't matter if there are 30000 troops in his hand. He still has nearly 80000 troops in his hand, which can maintain the situation for a while. The key is how much the exchange ratio between the Qiang people and the Han army is. As long as the Han Army has 20000 casualties, even if it is 10000 people, he can still maintain the war situation.

Under the Jingguang gaze of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou lowered his head in shame.

"Old Huangfu is old in battle. I'm afraid that his death and injury are less than 5000."

Five thousand? In addition to his 15000 northern army, Huang Fu song also commanded 20000 soldiers in three auxiliary prefectures and states, with a total of 35000 people and 5000 casualties. Even if he died in the war, there were 30000 people.

Five thousand is worth thirty thousand. Isn't 30000 equal to 180000?

Beigong Boyu was so black that she almost fell to the ground.

A moment later, he slowly looked up and sighed.

"From today on, we will restrain all the people from fighting against the old Huangfu bandits."

Since the battle of Linjing, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were afraid to fight huangfusong. During this period, huangfusong launched several exploratory attacks. Hu Qi either stuck to the city or fled, and did not dare to fight with huangfusong. Therefore, huangfusong recovered part of the lost land of Anding county and Fufeng County.

However, the number of horsemen was large. Although huangfusong was good at fighting and had excellent soldiers, there were a large number of Huqi. Once the two armies fought, the situation would turn into a decisive battle. If huangfusong was defeated carelessly, he would not only lose his reputation, but also fall into a situation of almost no troops.

Hu Qi is not the same as the Yellow turban thief. Hu Qi has a large number of horses, strong mobility and impact force. The Qiang people are brave and fierce. The victory or defeat of the two armies is not known. After all, military dangerous moves are only used occasionally. They often walk by the river. Where can they not get wet shoes?

For a time, the Qiang people stood firm and did not dare to attack. However, after a great victory, Huang Fu Song was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he imitated General Wang Jian of Qin Dynasty and refined his soldiers to wait for the opportunity.

Among the 32000 soldiers (3000 dead and 2000 wounded) in huangfusong's headquarters, the 15000 northern soldiers were the most elite, and the remaining soldiers of the prefectures and states were of average combat power. Huangfusong carefully practiced, on the one hand, he made Hu Qixin slack, on the other hand, he continued to train.

Time passed quickly. In a flash, four months passed. Ancient wars were common for many years. However, in Luoyang, thousands of miles away, huangfusong did not expect to be in the whirlpool.

"Your Majesty, huangfusong broke through 30000 Qiang people in March. Now it has been four months, but huangfusong has been reluctant to attack. What is his intention?"

Zhao Zhong, accompanied by the Emperor Ling, suddenly said.

Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty is enjoying the graceful and graceful dancing of the palace ladies. His figure is enchanting, and his lower body reveals the obscenity of his trousers, which makes him very happy.

The "open crotch pants" in the palace was created by the Emperor Ling. All the maids walking in the palace had to wear them like this. When Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty saw which one was beautiful, he took it away directly and took it to the right place.

Lingdi looked back with a smile: "do you think Huangfu's righteousness is true? Although he failed for several months, he defeated Li Wenhou in March and broke 30000 thieves without any fault. How can I punish those who have made contributions but have no fault? "

"Your Majesty, how can Huangfu song say that he has no fault?"

One side of Zhang rang came up and said solemnly, "huangfusong has been in vain for several months. I heard that huangfusong's garrison was stable. Every day he just fed his soldiers. In four months, he recovered less than ten counties, and the Qiang people retreated when they saw him."

Ling Di couldn't feel his head: "a Fu, huangfuyi soldiers are very powerful, and Qiang people are afraid to retreat. Isn't this a good thing?"

Zhang rang sneered and said, "Your Majesty, Huangfu song broke 30000 thieves in the first battle of Jingjing. Now it's four months before he can do anything, Qiang people retreat as soon as they send troops, but huangfusong refuses to recover Liangzhou. Isn't it that he secretly colludes with Qiang people and raises the bandits' self-respect?"

Lingdi was stunned and didn't want to see the dancing maids. He frowned and said, "Huangfu Yizhen wiped out the yellow scarf thieves. The long society set fire to hundreds of thousands of wave thieves. He crossed the Yellow River to capture and kill the three brothers of Zhang Jiao. How could such a loyal official collude with the Qiang people

Huangfu song had several meritorious battles and even killed hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves. The Lingdi still trusted him a lot.Zhao Zhongyin lamented: "the Marquis of Huaiyin made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, he was also respectful to Gaozu. Later, he threatened Gaozu with the false king of Qi and cooperated with the traitor Chen Chen Chen. Is Huangfu song more outstanding than the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"This..."

Ling Di frowned. Zhang rang and Zhao Zhong were the most trusted people around him. One was called "a fu", the other was called "a Mu".

In a few words, they destroyed emperor Lingdi's trust in huangfusong.

Zhang rang made up a knife without hesitation: "Your Majesty, do you know how much money and grain has been allocated from the state treasury in the past four months since Huangfu song was not meritorious in the northwest?"

When the emperor heard of the Treasury, he was immediately concerned: "more How much? "

"Grain and grass 150000 stone! Thirty million

"What? So much! "

If the Emperor didn't take into account the dignity of the emperor, he almost jumped up: how many new palaces could he build with 30 million yuan?

Zhang rang nodded slowly: "huangfusong has no intention of attacking so far. According to Wei Chen's opinion, this war of pacifying the northwest will take another year, and his majesty may spend ten million yuan."

"No, absolutely not!" Han Ling Di's face was impatient, and he turned a blind eye to the maid in front of him.

It has to be said that Zhang rang and Zhao Zhong have grasped the lifeline of Lingdi. The Lingdi regards money as his life and lusts like a ghost. Otherwise, he would not take the measure of "selling official gruel". Can ministers buy it with money? Isn't that a big businessman in the world? Everyone is Lu Buwei?
