Chapter 67 Huangfu Song

As night fell, more than a thousand people were like more than a thousand sculptures standing on the empty Loess Plateau, standing in the night wind. No one moved, and even the war horses under their straddle remained quiet, with only the sound of wind, the sound of people and horses breathing.

The night wind on the plateau is whistling. Just after April, the night on the plateau is still quite deserted, and there is even chill in the wind.

I don't know how long it took, a string of torches came from the direction of Fuping City, and a "rumble" sound of horse hooves gradually approaching. From the vague light, Huangfu Jian saw that the person who came to run in front was Changshi Yan Zhong, and there were two young men behind him. Huangfu Jian didn't need to think about it and he knew that it was his two cousins ​​who arrived.

"I failed to fulfill the lord's entrustedness, please punish me!" Yan Zhong came to Huangfu Jian, lion and tiger beast, turned over and dismounted, and bowed.

"Sir, please come on, sir, no wonder sir!" Huangfu Jian pulled down the lion and tiger beast, helped Yan Zhong up, and said lightly.

"I have met two brothers!" Huangfu Jian bowed to the two young men behind Yan Zhong.

"The third brother has always been nice! Don't blame me for the two brothers and I'm late to welcome me! Don't blame me!" The two young men behind Yan Zhong also dismounted and bowed to the court.

These two young men are Huangfu Hong (named Jianshou), Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song’s two sons, and Huangfu Jian’s two cousins. In more than ten years, the eldest brother Huangfu Hong was already 31 years old, seven feet and five inches tall, with a jade-like face, and a gentle and elegant style.

The second brother Huangfu Li is already twenty-nine years old. He is eight feet tall, with a slightly dark face and a magnificent spirit. His whole body is filled with the unique boldness of the Han Han in Guanxi, and his voice is like a big bell.

When brothers met, they were inevitably greetings. The second brother Huangfu Li and Huangfu Jian came to an affair at first sight. The two had a great time talking to each other. The eldest brother Huangfu Hong was a little reserved. After talking to Huangfu Jian for a few words, he stood aside, and his eyes were more on Jieyou behind Huangfu Jian. Jieyou was quite angry before stopping.

After a few people were polite, they got back on their mounts and rushed towards Fuping City. More than a dozen Qiang people rescued by them also followed behind them.

Although Fuping City is also a county office, it is just like Linjing City before. The city walls are low and a little broken. Only the moat on the periphery is quite wide, and there is no danger to guard on all sides.

When the soldiers of the county town saw that it was the eldest son, the second son led everyone down the suspension bridge early, and Huangfu Jian and others drove in.

"I welcome the lord!" As soon as I entered the city, Pang De, the deputy commander of the personal guard, came up with the five hundred personal guards who escorted Yan Zhong.

"Get up!" Huangfu Jian looked at the energetic guards in front of him, feeling very close.

"No!" Five hundred people quickly merged into the guard team and guarded Huangfu Cambridge in the middle. Huangfu Hong and Huangfu Li brothers were very envious of Huangfu Hong on the side.

Yan Xing and Pang De led 1,500 personal guards to station in a military camp in the city. Huangfu Jian only brought the chief of the army Yan Zhong, Jieyou, the eighteen dragon cavalry, the two brothers of the chariot slave, the iron eagle slave, the tiger slave stone hunter and the "heizi" Chengyi Shengong tribe 200 people followed Huangfu Hong, and the Huangfu Li brothers drove towards the city lord's mansion behind him.

Although Huangfu Song's city lord's mansion is not as majestic and luxurious as Huangfu Jian in Gaoping City, it is still quite spacious after all. After all, Huangfu Jian only brought Yan Zhong to the main hall, where the northern prefect Huangfu Song and a group of northern civil and military officials were waiting here.

The main hall was brightly lit, Huangfu Song, the prefect of Beidi County, sat high, and civil and military officials stood in two hatches.

Huangfu Song, who was over 50 years old, was 8 feet tall, with a burly figure, sword-browed eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, wearing a robe and a robe on the edge of the black ground, and a crown of talent. His years of professional life weakened his elegance at that time, but he also added a sense of authority.

"Jian'er, you are here!" Huangfu Song looked at Huangfu Jian walking into the hall and said with a faint expression.

At this time, Huangfu Song looked very calm on the surface, but he thought a lot in his heart. The scene of Huangfu Jian resurrected more than ten years ago appeared in his mind. Although Huangfu Song had never seen Huangfu Jian over the years, he was always paying attention to his nephew. Huangfu Jian’s outstanding performance in recent years made him feel relieved and a little scared.

Huangfu Jian entered the hall and looked at Huangfu Song, who was in a complicated mood. His uncle and enlightenment teacher were likely to become his enemy, which made him very embarrassed. He hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Huangfu Song, who was over fifty years old, had gray hair and wrinkles on his forehead as obvious as a knife. The wind, frost, snow and rain on the frontier made his originally fair skin look like bronze.

"My nephew greets uncle!" Huangfu Jian stepped forward and bowed a few steps.

"Jian'er also wants to persuade me to retreat before the battle?" Huangfu Song's bronze face was a little angry, and his momentum increased greatly.

"That's right!" Huangfu Jian looked directly at Huangfu Song with his eyes, without any fear, and said calmly.

"I think my Huangfu family has been loyal and brave for generations. If I fled without fighting, wouldn't it be a joke among the people of the world? How could I be worthy of the ancestors of the Huangfu family? How could I be worthy of the kindness of the saints and heavens!" Huangfu Song's tone gradually became high. When he spoke the word "saints and the saints, his eyes were even more pious.

Huangfu Jian knew from his previous memory that his uncle was a foolish and loyal person, but he did not expect that he would be foolish and loyal to this level. Huangfu Song's support for the current emperor and the orthodox Han Dynasty was deeply rooted and difficult to shake. Huangfu Jian frowned. If this continues, the nephews and nephews will be a foregone conclusion in the future.

Huangfu Jian was even more determined to completely kill his uncle's career! With intentional calculations but no intentions, he still had a great chance of winning!

"The pain in my uncle's heart, Jian'er naturally understands, but how many soldiers can I fight?" Huangfu Jian's tone was still plain, and there was a hint of smile on his face like a gentle jade.

"The soldiers in the northern county and county totaled 10,000, Lingzhou Pass and Fuping City 5,000." Huangfu Song's face became much dimmer when he said this.

"Although Lingzhou Pass is dangerous and solid, it cannot stop the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry with just five thousand defenders. Fuping City is located on the plateau and the surrounding terrain is wide, which is suitable for the large-scale attack of Xianbei cavalry. How can my uncle fight against the 100,000 Xianbei cavalry with 10,000 soldiers?" Huangfu Jian still said it without any haste, but every word is like a hammer, hitting Huangfu Song's heart.

"In the battle of offensive and defense, soldiers will only die! I shoulder the responsibility of defending the city and swear to live and die with Fuping City! The emperor can live and die with the emperor, and the emperor can live and die without regrets to the people who live!" Huangfu Song said with a determined look on his face and generously.

"My uncle's words are wrong! I dare not agree! Since my uncle was given a county magistrate by the emperor, he not only had the responsibility to defend the city, but also had the important task of protecting the people. My uncle's actions, knowing that it is impossible to do it, not only would he lose the city and the land, but would not help it, but would also lead to tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in danger! The superiors would betray the holy grace, the subordinates would betray the people, and they would be disobeyed by the ancestors! This is called unwise, unfaithful, unkind, unrighteous, and unfilial!"

"After grandpa and grandpa passed away one after another, my uncle became the leader of the Huangfu family and shouldered the prosperity of the clan. In this chaotic era, the storm and the family survived and died, if my uncle had any good fortune, who would maintain the Huangfu family?!"

Huangfu Jian's voice was still plain, but every word was clear, like a morning bell and evening drum echoing in the open hall.

"This..." Huangfu Song was speechless by the several big hats sent by Huangfu Jian, shocked, but his heart was already moved.

Huangfu Song once again looked at the young and heroic nephew in front of him and found that Huangfu Jian was standing so casually in the hall, but it seemed to be integrated with the surroundings, which was unpredictable. Huangfu Song was very surprised and couldn't help but think of the strange phenomena of heaven and earth when Huangfu Jian was resurrected from the dead. At this moment, Huangfu Song thought far away and felt even more fearful!

"On the contrary, if my uncle evacuated all the soldiers and civilians to Anding County, and implemented a solid wall and cleared the fields, and did not leave a grain of food, a piece of grass, or a weapon for the Xianbei people. Not only would the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians be saved, the Xianbei people would only get an empty city, which would be of no benefit."

"Jian'er has already arranged a formation on the Sanshui line, waiting for the arrival of Xianbei Iron Cavalry. Jian'er has the confidence to destroy them there! It is true that what we lost is just an empty city, but what we won is the victory of the entire war! It is so familiar and heavy? With the wisdom of my uncle, we will make it clear!"

Without giving Huangfu Song any chance to breathe, Huangfu Jian continued to beat him again.

"Jian'er, can you stop 100,000 Xianbei cavalry by the power of just one county?" Huangfu Song began to accept Huangfu Jian's suggestion when he asked this, but he was afraid that the Xianbei cavalry would invade the south and that Huangfu Jian's Anding County could not resist it, so his sin would be even greater.

"My uncle is relieved, Jian'er has made a complete plan and can destroy the Xianbei iron cavalry in one fell swoop!" Huangfu Jian was calm and talked freely, and his plain words were extremely contagious, as if the destruction of the Xianbei iron cavalry was just a matter of overturning his hands.

All the civil and military officials in the northern part of the hall were greatly infected and moved. If you can die without fear, who would be willing to die?

"That's great! You convinced my uncle. For the sake of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city and to defeat the arrogant Xianbei people, why should I care about my reputation?" Although Huangfu Song was convinced by Huangfu Jian, he sighed lightly and said helplessly.

"Uncle's actions are very lucky for the people! The court is very lucky for the family!" Seeing that Huangfu Song finally agreed to retreat, Huangfu Jian also breathed a sigh of relief.

The goal is achieved without using extraordinary means, and everyone is happy!
