Chapter 105 The imperial edict is here!
Chapter 105 The imperial edict has arrived!
The next morning, ten thousand militias transferred from Pegasus Ranch had arrived. The Qiang and Hu had been destroyed. With these ten thousand militias, the city defense of Gaoping City was already solid, and Huangfu Jian no longer had to worry about the foundation being attacked by someone.
Hua Xiong dragged his wounded body and appeared on the top of the city early in the morning. Although Huangfu Jian did not blame him, the more he did this, the more he could not forgive himself. He regretted that he should not have gone to drink with Huangfu Hong at a critical moment, and was drunk inexplicably. He himself understood that this was a dereliction of duty and a serious dereliction of duty. More than 10,000 casualties in the soldiers were related to his dereliction of duty. Overnight, Hua Xiong changed a lot, got rid of his madness, but became more steady and deep.
The battlefield cleaning is a huge project. Although 30,000 strong cities were transferred, it was still not completed in one day. The 50,000 Qianghu corpses were better. They dug a large pit in the suburbs and burned it with fire. However, the bodies of the defenders of Gaoping City were stored in coffins and buried collectively. Although the ideal of the soldiers was to wrap the corpses in horse leather, I still believe that it would be safe to be buried here.
The weather was getting hotter, and Huangfu Jian was afraid that these corpses would cause plagues, so he ordered 30,000 to clean up day and night, and took a variety of preventive measures. Gaoping City was busy like this, busy with busyness. Yesterday was busy killing people, and today was busy collecting corpses. It was a bit ironic.
In addition to the 20,000 troops led by Geng Bi, the 5,000 elite cavalry led by Hedong Prefect Dong Zhuo also appeared at the south gate of Gaoping City. After he learned about the shocking battle yesterday, he didn't know whether he was regretful or glad.
In the big tent of the governor of Liangzhou Geng Bi, the governor was furious. He was very upset at this time. The atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing. There were two people sitting on both sides of the tent, one was his mid-term quotation, and the other was his army Sima Ma Teng.
"Sir, the prefect of Anding County is too presumptuous! He didn't take the adult seriously at all. Yesterday he said he was busy with the war and had no time to wait. But today he should have left the city early to welcome the adults. But you see, there was still no movement in the city? What is this?" Zhi Zhong Cheng Qiu narrowed his small eyes, as if he was unintentional, but every sentence he said was heartbroken.
Lord Geng Bi, who was in his fifties, was already angry. When Cheng Qiu said that, he was even more angry. He wished he could immediately punish Huangfu Jian for his contempt for his superiors. He was the immediate boss of Huangfu Jian, the prefect of Anding County. He was ignored by a subordinate, even if he was so angry!
"It's not a fault for Lord Huangfu. Our 20,000 troops have been out for so long and are still rushing here and appearing at such a sensitive time. No wonder they have any opinions." The Sima Ma Teng, who was standing beside him, also spoke lightly at this time.
He is a native of Xiliang, and Huangfu Jian's name has long been well known. He dare not despise him, otherwise he would not know how he died. In addition, he would have been disliked by Zhi Zhongchengqiu. If this villain hadn't been saying something about waiting for the opportunity, they would have driven away the Xianbei people long ago, and there would have been no embarrassing situation today.
"Yes! It's all your idea. Fortunately, Anding County was saved. Otherwise, the emperor would blame him and I would not be able to escape his blame!" Geng Bi was a corrupt scholar. He had no opinion but had a big appetite. After hearing what Ma Teng said, he blamed Qi Chengqiu again.
"I am also thinking about the adults! Sir, although Anding County is a border county, it is richer than Luoyang, Kyoto. If the Qiang and Hu broke through Gaoping City yesterday, and the Qiang and Hu army were repelled, he would not only make great contributions, but also take the opportunity to take control of Anding. Sir would not be the current governor." Cheng Qiu's eyes rolled and he became confused again.
"Why do you think I should do now?" Geng Bi glanced at Cheng Qiu and showed a hint of heat.
"According to the opinions of subordinates, there is still a chance now." Cheng Qiu said a little and stopped talking, making Geng Bi anxious.
"What do you do?" The wealth is moving, not to mention that Geng Bi is not moved by a wealthy rich man like Anding County.
"Didn't the prefect of Anding County leave the Lord aside now? The Lord can take the opportunity to punish him for contempt for Shangguan, deprive him of military power, and then defeat the Xianbei army in one fell swoop. Didn't the lord make great contributions and gain huge benefits? This is the opportunity given to the prefect of Anding County himself. If God does not take it, he will suffer the blame." Cheng Qiu said with a cold smile.
"What do you think of General Ma?" Geng Bi was really moved. If Cheng Qiu said, his position in the Kanto Group would also increase greatly. But he would not be able to fight and was not sure about repelling the Xianbei army. If he could not defeat the Xianbei people, he would lose a handful of rice if he could not steal the chicken and put his head on it. He would have to be careful.
"I will only care about war, but I will not understand anything else, nor will I do it." Ma Teng said with a cold snorting expressionlessly.
Ma Teng thought in his heart that these two people were really foolish. If Huangfu Jian’s military power was so easy to deprive, the 50,000 Qiang and Hu army would not have been destroyed yesterday. He was also a real man. He was very dissatisfied with the heroic spirit of the Westerners and disagreed with the dirty thoughts of these scholars of Guandong.
"I just need to defeat the Xianbei army. You don't have to worry about other matters. After the matter is completed, I will be promoted to your official position and add your food. Even if you are a marquis and general, it is possible to be granted a marquis and a general." Geng Bi said quickly as soon as he heard that there was a chance.
Just as Geng Bi and others were discussing how to seize the power of Huangfu Jian and take the soldiers of Huangfu Jian, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the camp. Before the horsemen were approaching, they shouted loudly: "Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, received the order!"
"What imperial edict?" All the three people in the tent changed their qualities. Why did the imperial edict suddenly come from this ghost place? Could it be that the emperor blamed us for the ineffective rescue and the punishment of the crime, and the tragedy!
The three of them came outside the tent with uneasy mood. When they saw that there was only one person and one horse, they were even more confused by the three. Isn’t this a prank? I must punish him!
"The angel is waiting for the master in the city lord's office. Please hurry up!" The visitor glanced at the three of them and said lukewarmly. After saying that, he turned around and left without caring about the reactions of the three of them.
"I'm going now!" It turns out that this person is just a messenger, no wonder.
At the same time, the same scene was encountered in the camp of Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Hedong.
There was a burst of fire, and there was a burst of angry horses running. Gengbi's camp and Dong Zhuo's camp were all in a pot. Gengbi brought Zhongchengqi, Army Sima Ma Teng, Dong Zhuo, with counselor Li Ru, generals Li Jue, and Guo Si, hurried to Gaoping City under the escort of dozens of personal guards. Gaoping City seemed extremely quiet, and the city gate was also wide open, neither greeting them nor stopping them.
The incense table of the lord of Gaoping City had already set up, and lit the incense candle. A large number of people knelt down from the platform. Huangmen Zuo Feng stood in front of the case with the imperial edict in his hand. Although Huangfu Jian was very reluctant, at least he was still a Han minister now, and the procedure for face was still to be gone.
Geng Bi, Cheng Qiu, Ma Teng, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, Li Jue, Guo Si and others saw that they were also in a hurry to put on their clothes and kneel down.
"Saint Metaphor: I heard that Huangfu's beloved attacks more with few attacks, completely wiped out 10,000 troops from the Xianbei vanguard army, and praised the reputation of the Han Dynasty. I feel so relieved! I was granted the title of General Pingxi, Marquis of Chao, holding silver ribbons, and fully responsible for the war in the northwest! I hope that I will live up to my will, repel the Xianbei army as soon as possible, and return the Western border to Anjing, and I will be honored!" The sharp and thin voice of Zuo Feng of the Huangmen came from a distance, but it made Huangfu Jian feel goosebumps all over.
"I received the order! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Huangfu Jian accepted the order very respectfully.
At this moment, Geng Bi or Cheng Qiu were all stunned and wanted to seize other people's military power. Now his military power has become theirs!
