Chapter 563: Huangfu Song's Army Arrives
After settling the affairs of the two families with Huangfu Chaobo, Chen Gong mentioned very vaguely who had seen through his strategy. Huangfu Chaobo smiled slightly, pointed at Pang Tongdao beside him, and said that he A friend happened to be visiting Changshe and accidentally found a solution. When he first heard this, Chen Gong thought Huangfu Chaobo was teasing him. He wanted to get angry but held back.
However, after chatting with Pang Tong for a few words, he was impressed by the young man in front of him. Only after asking at the last time did he find out that this young man was actually a member of the Pang family in Xiangyang, and he was sincerely convinced. But he was once again shocked by Huangfu Chaobo's strength. He didn't expect that the Xiangyang family was secretly helping him. He secretly made up his mind again. After returning to Bingzhou to stabilize for a while, he must persuade Lu Bu to form an alliance with Sizhou.
At the end, Chen Gong talked to Huangfu Chaobo again, hoping to purchase a lot of grain, grass and baggage vehicles from Sizhou. The army needed to carry a lot of grain and grass back to Bingzhou. Huangfu Chaobo agreed after thinking about it for a while, and he bought it from Jizhou. It can be said that the grain and grass are bought at a low price, but sold to Lu Bujun at a high price. You can still make a big profit in the middle.
After resting for a day in Luoyang, Chen Gong decided to return to Hongnong to prepare the army to return. Unexpectedly, as soon as the group of people left Luoyang City, Huangfu Chaobo received a report from a fast horse. The navy had arrived not far from the entrance of the Weishui River, and would reach Hongnong in a few days.
When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he immediately ordered Zhao Yun to lead Baima Yicong to accompany him and rush to Hongnong together with Chen Gong and his party. He personally greeted Huangfu Song and his party, and also arranged for Bingzhou to cross the river to go north.
A group of troops marched for days and finally arrived outside Hongnong City three days later. At this time, you can see the cloud-like Luoyang Navy and Jizhou Navy stopping on the river outside Hongnong City, ready to send the army to the river bank at any time.
With Chen Gong's handling, the navy quickly began arranging soldiers to land ashore. After the army set up camp on the river bank, General Huangfu Song got off the boat and Huangfu Chaobo hurried forward to see the ceremony.
At this time, Huangfu Song was already sixty-two years old, and he was no longer the high-spirited man who led the troops to defeat the Yellow Turban ten years ago.
He always paid attention to the news about Huangfu Chaobo. After learning that he was appointed as the prefect of Hongnong and Huangfu Chaobo was appointed as the pastor of Sizhou, his first order was to relocate the whole family and move everyone in the clan to those who wanted to. The soldiers and family members who followed him all brought Hongnong with him, so his team had nearly 10,000 troops and a population of tens of thousands.
Looking at the weathered Huangfu Song and the dense crowd of soldiers and family members behind him, Huangfu Chaobo didn't understand what the old man meant, that he wanted to help with all his strength.
Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he stepped forward and said with a salute: "Chaobo has met my uncle..." But he didn't know what to say next.
Huangfusong looked at his nephew in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, stepped forward to help him up and said, "Yes, he has matured a lot after not seeing each other for several years. You are now the commander-in-chief of ten thousand armies, and you are the leader of millions of people in Sizhou." How can you behave like a child?"
After saying that, he laughed, pulled Huangfu Chaobo and said: "Come on, come on... Look who I have brought to you!"
Huangfu Chaobo looked up, but he didn't expect that it was his mentor Zhu Jun. He quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Chaobo has met his mentor! How come he is in my uncle's army?"
Looking at his only disciple, Zhu Jun was extremely satisfied. Who would have believed that a young boy back then could achieve what he does today.
Seeing Huangfu Chaobo come forward to salute, Zhu Jun stood still and accepted his salute and then said: "This is not a gift from you, boy. You raised an army with the princes of Guandong. As a result, the Dong thief dismissed me from my official position. I had nowhere to go, so I I followed your uncle to the Northland for a while, and I heard that you were already the Sizhou Mu of the imperial court, so I returned to the Central Plains with your uncle, so that I could keep him company."
When Huangfu Chaobo heard this, he was overjoyed. It happened that Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, had been taken down by him. He was still worried that there was no reliable person who could take charge of Hanoi. Now it's better. Hongnong has Huangfu Song, a veteran general, in charge.
You only need to arrange for a general to lead the troops to garrison.
And Hanoi just needs a veteran like Zhu Jun to take charge, and then provide both of them with civil and military subordinates. In this way, before Luoyang is completely stabilized, he can rest assured that the two counties are unstable.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Chaobo is very happy that my mentor can come. Now that Hanoi has been decided, a senior general like my mentor is needed to guard it, so that we can suppress those evil monsters, so Chaobo wants to ask his mentor to come out and help. , I also ask my mentor to agree.”
Huangfu Song laughed loudly and said to Zhu Jun: "How about it, Gongwei, I said, he will not let you idle, and he is ready to arrange for you to guard Hanoi as soon as you get off the boat, hahahaha..."
Zhu Jun laughed loudly after hearing this. He looked helpless on his face, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. A big man like him, who respected both civility and martial arts, how could he be so free if he was really allowed to do so? So he wanted to return to his hometown, but he couldn't resist Huangfu Song's persuasion, so he came to Hongnong to have a look. Unexpectedly, he was asked by Huangfu Chaobo to stay in Hanoi as soon as he got off the boat and before he could stand still.
So he said: "That's fine. If your uncle is in charge of Hongnong's new settlement, you won't have to worry about it. Hanoi also needs someone to guard it, so I'll go and take care of it for you. However, in this case, we two old friends can... There’s not much time left to get together.”
"It's okay. Uncle and mentor just need to stay in charge and leave the work to the staff and generals below. Uncle and mentor just need to help Chaobo keep an eye on these people below and prevent them from getting into trouble." Huangfu Chaochao heard it and immediately said: "Chaobo will order the navy to arrange a unit on standby at any time. You only need to give an order and they will come to Hongnong in one or two days."
"Okay, okay, I agree. There is no need to arrange a navy specifically for me. However, you need to quickly recruit talents in internal affairs. The two of us old guys can't guard you for long." Zhu Jun laughed, and then said seriously;
"How could it be, uncle and mentor can help Chaobo guard anyway. Twenty to thirty years. Hehe... "Huangfu Chaobo said with a smile;
Huangfu Song was also amused by him, patted his head and said: "Okay, now you are also the leader of a place, how can you talk like that. The two of us old guys will go into the camp to rest for a while, you go to meet your two brothers and then meet the other generals in the army. You will be their lord in the future, so you must be impartial and treat them equally. "
"Uncle, don't worry, Chaobo will not be partial to one over the other. I respectfully send you off, uncle, and my mentor. "After the two old men were sent to the camp to rest, Huangfu Chaobo had time to meet Huangfu Li and Huangfu Jianshou, their family members and children, as well as the Huangfu clan members and generals in the army.
