A stone outside the sky fell into Han Sui's Qiang camp at night, causing Dong Zhuo to take the opportunity to attack the Qiang camp to succeed. Although this seemed like a lucky victory, for those who were familiar with it, this was Han Sui's luck.

You should know that if there were no stones outside the sky, Huangfu Song would definitely be able to kill Han Sui's 100,000 Qiang soldiers and severely damage the Qiang and Hu tribes in the northwest border.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Huangfu Song could successfully kill all the 100,000 soldiers of the Qiang and Hu tribes this time, the northwestern border of the Han Dynasty would have at least ten years of peace.

There is also the King of Han, Song Yang, who took advantage of the weakness of the Han Dynasty and rebelled, and the most powerful rebel in the world, probably cannot be firmly in his position as the King of Kings.

"pity."

Regarding this incident, Huangfu Song, who came to inspect after dawn, sighed regretfully after learning about the situation.

But then again, although this "sky change" finally allowed Han Sui to grit his teeth and admit his failure and withdraw his troops to return to Jincheng County, the accident happened very suddenly at that time. Even if Han Sui failed to reduce casualties, Dong Zhuo finally achieved a relatively generous result.

You should know that since he realized that General He Jin planned to rectify the large military, Dong Zhuo changed his idea of ​​stumbling to the Han army and was eager to win credit in this battle. As capital of advance, he defected to He Jin. Unfortunately, Zhou Shen was stubborn and ruined the good situation. Later, Huangfu Song turned the tide and turned the tide around the entire battle situation, which made Dong Zhuo, the hero, no place to use his skills.

However, Dong Zhuo gave up a little depressed breath in this night attack last night. Unfortunately, he failed to capture the rebel leader Han Sui and Bian Zhang.

Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Zhang Huang, Huangfu Li, a large group of people surrounded the huge pit that was smashed by a stone from the sky, and watched with great interest.

In this era when the concept of "divine power" is deeply rooted, people attach great importance to such "stars falling from the sky".

Such special "celestial phenomena" are generally believed by the world to be a warning from God to mortals. If there is a drought or flood, the emperor will also draft a self-destruction; even if there is a harmless celestial phenomenon like solar eclipse and lunar eclipse, the three dukes in the court will have to resign collectively and take the blame innocently, in order not to let the people of the world riots due to fear. Who has made the research on astronomy in this era extremely imperfect?

Seeing that even a hero like Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were staring at the huge pit with a serious look on his face, Zhang Huang felt very funny from the bottom of his heart.

By the way, he was really hit hard by Huangfu Song these days. Now he finally recovered a little bit of superiority.

"Dig, dig!"

With a burst of cheers, the soldiers digging the pit exclaimed.

It doesn't matter if this exclamation was already crowded. It was even more crowded. Zhang Huang was almost squeezed into the pit by the soldiers behind him who were lying their heads and looking at him.

After a while, the soldiers who were busy at the bottom of the pit dug a black iron stone, covered with small pits, which were not very good to be honest.

However, Zhang Huang knew that this thing that didn't look very good is called "star iron", also called "meteorite" (probably black iron), which is an iron embryo that has more advantages than fine iron and erect iron. The legendary magic weapons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are almost all made of this alien object as the main body and are tempered and refined.

For example, the divine weapon Wu Gou obtained by chance by Zhang Huang was the divine weapon that was worshipped in the ancient Wu and Yue areas. It is precisely because of its extraordinary origin that this kind of divine weapon has the special effect of breaking the rigid body of a martial artist.

"That's just something?"

Dong Zhuo took the meteorite from the soldier and weighed it in his hand, then threw it to Zhang Huang beside him with disdain.

Zhang Huang couldn't help but feel a little excited when he came into contact with this foreign object for the first time because he had never touched such a magical object in person.

It was very heavy and quite heavy, as if the iron had almost no impurities. Zhang Huang knew that this was because it was rubbed with the atmosphere during its fall and burned out some combustible substances like coal, making it a piece of pure iron. This was far more thorough than forging with fire, so it was no wonder that this iron became the first choice for ancient smelters to forge divine weapons.

After repeatedly touching the surface of the iron block, Zhang Huang was quite fond of love. He couldn't help but fantasize that if he could hide this iron and find a famous craftsman to forge it into a weapon in the future, it would definitely be a comparable existence to a divine weapon.

But unfortunately, any such meteorite that fell from the sky must be handed over to the craftsmanship department of the court, and private individuals must not hide it. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Dong Zhuo looked down on it and threw it to Zhang Huang to open his eyes.

When Zhang Huang thought that this iron lump treasure had to be handed over to the court in the end, he became calm. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still handed it to Huangfu Li beside him. After all, the man stared at him with wide eyes, and obviously he was a master who had never seen the market before.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song ignored Zhang Huang and Huangfu Li, staring at the meteorite, and Gu Zizai was talking softly.

"If Han Sui escaped, this battle may not be ended in the short term...What are your ideas about this?"

Dong Zhuo spoke up on his own initiative, as if he was trying to test Huangfu Song's meaning.

Huangfu Song looked at Dong Zhuo after hearing this and said lightly, "It is enough for me to make up for the merits this time...this is enough."

"Hmm?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled when he heard this, because Huangfu Song said that he was not going to participate in the subsequent battle?

Dong Zhuo wanted to ask, but he was stunned when Huangfu Song looked self-deprecating, sarcastic and sneered. He instinctively realized that what Huangfu Song was mocking this time might not be him.

Soon, Dong Zhuo realized the object of ridicule in Huangfu Song's speech, the enemy general Zhou Shen, or the power of General He Jin behind this person.

That was at a military meeting a few days later, because Zhang Wen had written the victory several times exaggerated and sent it to Luoyang. However, he did not expect that the official commendation sent back by the court was not the emperor or the old grand lieutenant Yang Ci, but the general He Jin.

I remember that in the early Qin and Han dynasties, "Taiwei" was also called "Grand Sima", which was equivalent to "the great marshal of the world's soldiers and horses", and the accurate explanation of "Grand General" was "General". Therefore, "Grand Sima" was located above the general, that is, the power of the Taiwei was heavier than that of the general.

However, by the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taiwei gradually became a false position, and was generally held by civil officials. The power was limited to writing rewards or punishments for a general, and no longer had real power. (In the time of Cao Wei, the Grand Sima and the Grand Sima coexisted, but as the auxiliary title of the General, only those who have made great achievements can be granted titles, that is, the Grand Sima General. This phenomenon is similar to that in the Western Han Dynasty.)

But no matter how powerful it is, the commendation documents placed on the table are usually issued by the Grand Marshal. General He Jin's practice of interfering in his affairs is not very suitable to be honest and is easily criticized.

What is even more incredible is that this reward was not handed over to Zhang Wen, the commander of the American Yang Army, but to Zhou Shen, the general who had not made any military achievements but committed serious crimes before. This made people imagine it.

"...When Huangfu Song was restored to his post, he still appointed him as the Left General... He guarded Meiyang on behalf of His Majesty and ensured that the imperial tomb is safe."

Under the silent gaze of everyone in the tent, General Zhou Shen, the bandit, read General He Jin's commendation documents, and the summary content was nothing more than asking everyone to continue working hard. In addition, he replied to General Huangfu Song's position as Zuo.

However, the key point is that the commendation order was handed over to Zhou Shen, and even a fool could see the hint. What is even more incredible is that General He Jin actually asked Huangfu Song to guard Meiyang and the imperial tomb, and what was the matter important. Who doesn’t know that Han Sui had fled back to Jincheng County? Meiyang, what is the difference between the imperial tomb?

Dong Zhuo looked at Huangfu Song silently. Even though he had never been convinced by Huangfu Song, he couldn't help but feel that it was worthless for the latter.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that because Huangfu Song was too dazzling a while ago, he played Han Sui and other heroes in applause. In this way, General He Jin would have to suppress him. After all, General He Jin's purpose was to control the entire military. If Huangfu Song had too much prestige in the military, it would undoubtedly be a resistance for him.

Huangfu Song probably expected this, so he sneered when Dong Zhuo tried him, saying that he would not be able to appear in the future.

Sure enough, he was guessed.

"It's outrageous!" Behind Huangfu Song, his nephew Huangfu Li's eyes were venting fire, and his fists were clenched tightly.

However, General He Jin is no better than General Zhou Shen, the devil. Not to mention him, even his uncle Huangfu Song could not compete. Huangfu Li, who knew this truth, had to try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Before the "Han rebellion" was over, the big men in the court began to compete for merit. While Dong Zhuo and Zhang Huang were secretly sneering, Yuan Pang and Sun Jian, those loyal and righteous people who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, shook their heads and sighed behind their backs.

Everyone knows that Huangfu Song's merits are really dazzling. The previous "Yellow Peril" has made him show the limelight and become a well-known general in the court. If he was also taken over by this Korean rebellion, he believes that his voice will be even higher in the military and in the government and the government. In this way, even General He Jin will be troubled.

So, before the cunning rabbit was actually captured, he just lame, and a good bow named "Huangfu Song" was forced to hide it deep. There was nothing we could do about it.

As the person involved, Huangfu Song was very calm about this. Looking at his calm and composed appearance, he really had a Confucian temperament who was not happy with things or sad with himself.

But if you think about it carefully, if a man like Huangfu Song who has experienced many ups and downs, he would have died of a bumpy career long ago if he did not have this state of indifference to glory.

Zhang Huang knew a little bit that Huangfu Song impeached Zhang Rang after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Zhao Zhong's relatives bullied the people, and was framed by eunuchs and removed from his post as the Left General. In the fifth year of Zhongping, the kingdom of Song Yang, the king of Han at the end of the river in Xiliang, rebelled. Huangfu Song then appointed Zuo General to fight against the kingdom, but was then dismissed by Dong Zhuo who was in power, and was even imprisoned and almost died. Fortunately, his son Huangfu Shoujian had a deep friendship with Dong Zhuo, so he was spared from his death and became a clerk. Soon after Dong Zhuo died in the third year of Chuping, Li Jue Guo Si attacked Chang'an one after another, and Huangfu Song was also a general of chariots and cavalry. As a result, in December, he was dismissed because of meteors.

It can be said that this ups and downs of official fortune is almost the main theme of Huangfu Song's career.

It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo respects and fears Huangfu Song but looks down on Huangfu Song. Because Huangfu Song has always lived a passive life, this genius of military affairs is either pulled out to put out the fire or is meddled in the court. This is a heroic figure with no ambition. He did not choose to hold troops and respect himself several times, but silently acted as the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty. Unlike the ambitious Dong Zhuo, who had only 3,000 Liangzhou cavalry, he had to try to spy on authority.

Although he felt like he was sad when he died of a rabbit and a fox, Huangfu Song was expelled, which was a real good news for Dong Zhuo.

Except for Huangfu Song, who is here who can compare with him?

He could even begin to imagine. He would take the initiative to pursue Han Sui later, and he would definitely be able to take advantage of the favorable conditions created by Huangfu Song. He killed Han Sui and defeated him, and presented the court with a refreshing victory.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't hold back any longer, so when Zhang Wen asked everyone about their next military operations, he stood up and asked for his orders, begging him to lead an elite force to pursue Han Sui alone.

But unexpectedly, General Zhou Shen, the bandit, jumped out to compete with him for the position of this pioneer general.

Why is he?!

Why is Zhou Shen?!

What is the right for a defeated general?!

Well, they rely on General He Jin to support him. In this case, even Zhang Wen, as the head coach, would not give Zhou Shen face.

In a dilemma, Zhang Wen had to act in accordance with the idea of ​​not offending him, and at the same time appointed General Zhou Shen, the general of the bandit, and General Dong Zhuo, the General of the Destroyed, to lead an elite force to pursue Han Sui.

"It's outrageous!"

I remember that Dong Zhuo left with a dark face at the end. After all, Zhang Wen's approach made him lose an excellent opportunity to become famous.

Thinking about it, if he had led his troops alone to pursue Han Sui and his trip went smoothly, then his prestige would have been able to catch up with Huangfu Song, who had turned the tide and ended the "Yellow Peril", and became a new nobleman valued by the military and the court.

But now the devastating general Zhou Shen is involved. Even if Han Sui is defeated, the effect will be greatly reduced. What's more, when he was rewarded in the final regarding merit, Dong Zhuo may not be able to surpass Zhou Shen, who was supported by General He Jin.

What made Dong Zhuo even more angry was that Zhang Wen seemed to be somewhat biased towards Zhou Shen, and asked Sun Jian to serve as Zhou Shen's deputy general.

Who is Sun Jian?

That is a powerful general with outstanding force and equal strength to his Dong Zhuo!

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, with Sun Jian's assistance, Zhou Shen, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely not be defeated if he does nothing.

The tiger in Jiangdong and the evil dragon in Longxi, the reputation of this tiger and a dragon is not something to be said casually.

In other words, even if Dong Zhuo went smoothly, he would only drink some soup, and he would definitely not be able to eat meat and bones.

After understanding this, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen also became jealous. After the meeting ended, he snorted coldly and led Zhang Huang away. I believe Zhang Wen probably didn't expect that he would be more likely to be more likely to be the action of General He Jin, Zhou Shen, who would one day bring him a murderous disaster.

"This person is very rude!" Seeing Dong Zhuo's calm face leaving, Sun Jian showed a little displeasure.

Although he also felt that Zhang Wen's approach to favor Zhou Shen was a bit inappropriate, after all, Zhou Shen had no other merits before, and his sins were inexcusable. In this kind of defeated general was put together with Dong Zhuo, who had the greatest contributions in addition to Huangfu Song, and asked them to serve as pioneer generals separately, Sun Jian also felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

But there is no way. Who told Zhang Wen to be the kindness of Sun Jian to support him? In this era, the non-relationship between the recommender and the recommended person is no less than that of the teacher and the disciple. They are important parts of the network of relationships between superior officials and subordinate officials. For example, Sun Jian, in the eyes of court officials, he is a member of the Sili-Captain Zhang Wen. Unless the two of them turn against each other because of something, this relationship is unbreakable, and they prosper and lose both.

"Forget it!"

Zhang Wen waved his hand and signaled Sun Jian not to have an attack, after all, he could understand Dong Zhuo's mood at this moment.

He had no choice, because even the Sili School Captain could not afford to offend General He Jin. Therefore, in order to avoid Zhou Shen putting his shoes on him in the future, he could only favor Zhou Shen. The result of this attitude was that he would never want to win over Dong Zhuo in his life, and Dong Zhuo would even hate him for this.

Compared with the angry Dong Zhuo, the indignant Sun Jian and the helpless Zhang Wen, the only general Zhou Shen in the tent was the most proud.

At this time, Zhou Shen was no longer as embarrassed as he had been a few days ago. He was heroic and arrogant. This kind of complacent as if he was successful in a villain made Huangfu Li feel so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she felt very angry.

It was clearly my uncle's credit, so why did such a villain make a profit?!

Huangfu Li looked at his uncle Huangfu Song unwillingly, hoping that the latter could stand up and say a few words, even if he was ridiculed by Zhou Shen, he could at least exclaim his anger, right?

But what made Huangfu Li wonder was that Huangfu Song calmly left the handsome tent, and from beginning to end he didn't look at Zhou Shen, who was proud of him. His eyes were far away at Dong Zhuo, who was full of anger and flicking his sleeves, with a bit complicated look on his tiger eyes.
