Chapter 564 Gao Shun Appears
After meeting the two brothers Huangfu Jianshou, they introduced their wives and children to him.
Huangfu Jianshou is the eldest son. He is nearly forty years old. His wife is the daughter of the Anding Ma family. They have two sons and one daughter. They are the eldest son Huangfu Gong, named Bogong, the second son Huangfu Xian, named Shuxian, and the eldest daughter Huangfu Hong. , is married, and her husband's family is the Zheng family, a prominent family in the north.
Huangfu Li was actually Huangfu Song's nephew, but he grew up beside Huangfu Song and was regarded as a child. He is now more than thirty years old. His wife is the daughter of the Anding Meng family. They have a son and a daughter, the eldest son Huangfu Zheng and the second daughter Huangfu Shuang. Afterwards, the two of them recruited all the generals with more than a thousand generals and introduced them to Huangfu Chaobo one by one.
Regarding the move south to take up the post of Hongnong Prefect, both Huangfu Song and Huangfu Jianshou have placed their positions very clearly, that is, they are Huangfu Chaobo's subordinates, so whether it is Huangfu Jianshou or the military The lieutenant generals all respected Huangfu Chaobo without any disrespect.
After meeting the generals in the army, Huangfu Chaobo helped everyone up one by one to comfort them, and then ordered the soldiers to enter the camp. The Huangfu family, the generals in the army, and the families of the soldiers all arranged to be sent directly to Luoyang. Leave it to Zaozhi to make unified arrangements for placement.
This time Huangfu Song brought 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry from the north. If we add the white horse followers led by Zhao Yun, there are now a total of 13,000 soldiers in Hongnong, so we are not afraid that Lu Bu's army will be disadvantageous to him. Coupled with Chen Gong's plan and Zhang Liao's wisdom, Lu Bu will definitely not fall out with Huangfu Chaobo again.
After the army was stationed by the river, Huangfu Chaobo sent people into Hongnong City to inform Lu Bu that his army could begin to prepare, and arrangements would be made for his army to gradually cross the river starting tomorrow.
Therefore, Huangfu Chaobo informed them to think about their marching route first. There are two ways to go from Sizhou to Bingzhou. One is to cross the river directly from Hongnong into Hedong County, then cross the Zhongtiao Mountains and go directly to Anyi, the Hedong County city. Then go all the way north, passing Wenxi and Jiangyi, then pass through Baibo Valley through Xiangling and Yang County, and finally exit Hedong in Yong'an County and enter the boundary of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou.
Another road is to enter Hanoi from Hanoi Port, go directly north through the Taihang Mountains, and enter the boundary of Gaodu County in Shangdang County, Bingzhou. Although this road is much closer on land, it still has a long waterway.
So after receiving news from Huangfu Chaobo that the army was ready to cross the river, Lu Bu's army had a big dispute about the marching route. Although the first route had less water, it had to pass through the Baibo Valley with dangerous roads. Moreover, Lu Bu's army was preparing to cross the river. If you buy a large amount of grain from Huangfu Chaobo, your march will definitely be slow. But if they go to Hanoi, Wei Xu and others are afraid of what Huangfu Chaobo's navy will do halfway.
After repeated discussions, Lu Bu finally decided to enter Bingzhou from Hanoi, because firstly, Lu Bu was prepared to listen to the opinions of Chen Gong and others and buy a large amount of grain and grass from Huangfu Chaobo to enter Bingzhou. Secondly, only by taking this route could Lu Bu's army be able to enter Bingzhou. Enter Bingzhou before winter.
According to Chen Gong's policy, the army must have a place to rest before winter. After next spring, after several months of rest, the army will be able to take control of all the counties in Bingzhou.
The Bingzhou Provincial Governor's Department of the Han Dynasty had a total of 9 counties and 91 counties. However, as time went by, the Han Dynasty gradually lost control of the border counties. Now, the Bingzhou Provincial Governor's Department can only control the two complete counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan and the river water of Xihe County. Counting the cities to the east and the cities south of the Great Wall of Yanmen County, there are only more than 40 county towns in total, almost half of them.
As for the other counties of Shangjun, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, and Shuofang, they are now under the control of foreign tribes. Especially in the Hetao Plain, there are even more miscellaneous people. Therefore, Chen Gong's plan is to first control Shangdang and Taiyuan counties as quickly as possible, and then slowly move towards other counties.
After determining the march route, Lu Bu sent Zhang Liao to the Sizhou Army camp outside the city and informed Huangfu Chaobo of the prepared march route so that the grain purchased by the Sizhou Army General could also be prepared.
After all the army crossed the river, they took them back to Bingzhou together. However, Huangfu Chaobo no longer cares about these details. He can't wait to return to Luoyang City.
The reason why he was so impatient to rush back to Luoyang was that when Zhang Liao left, he told him something. In Zhang Liao's opinion, it was just an ordinary thing, but in Huangfu Chaobo's opinion, it had never happened. I thought there would be a big surprise for me.
Among the 10,000 Hongnong soldiers that Lu Bu used to exchange for Zhang Yang, there was actually a famous general, and a peerless general, a famous general that made all players salivate - Gao Shun. When he first heard the news, Huangfu Chaobo was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to react, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, pretending not to care, and asked Zhang Liao the origin of the matter.
It turned out that Gao Shun was not among the soldiers exchanged, but because Lu Bu wanted to exchange 10,000 infantry for Zhang Yang's generals, the Bingzhou army, which originally only had 20,000 infantry, had to reduce its establishment. Wei Xu's generals all used their familiar soldiers. The generals stayed, but the soldiers under Gao Shun, who were unique among the infantry, were abandoned by the generals.
Originally, Zhang Liao was planning to transfer Gao Shun into his command, but Gao Shun was reluctant to give up the soldiers he had trained for more than a month. In addition, Lu Bu emphasized cavalry and light infantry, so he resolutely joined the exchange team with his soldiers. , Zhang Liao couldn't persuade him, and finally had to give up.
After several exchanges between Zhang Liao and Huangfu Chaobo, he felt that he was a lord who knew how to use people. In order to prevent this general he had discovered from being overshadowed, after repeated consideration, Zhang Liao decided to recommend him to Huangfu Chaobo.
After resigning from Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, Huangfu Chaobo left Zhao Yun and his cavalry behind, and was unwilling to stay for a moment, so he asked Jiang Qin to arrange a warship to send him to Luoyang.
From Hongnong to Luoyang, the waterway was more than 300 miles. At Huangfu Chaobo's request, it was originally downstream, so it took only one day to reach Mengjin Port in the north of Luoyang. After getting off the boat, he did not stop, and led the guards of Baima Yicong to rush back to Luoyang City overnight.
After rushing all the way to the prefectural government, Huangfu Chaobo did not care about resting and immediately called Huang Zhong. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo summoned Huang Zhong in such a hurry, Huang Zhong thought something had happened in Hongnong. However, after he arrived, Huangfu Chaobo actually asked him about the affairs of the Hongnong army. Only then did he feel relieved.
