In the Han Dynasty, the rank of the cavalry general was very high, ranking second only to the general and the hussar general.

In later generations, people often say who is a cavalry general, but it is not quite appropriate, or it should be said that someone has been a cavalry general.

This military position is not a permanent one. The general of chariots and cavalry is mainly responsible for conquering betrayal. When there is a war, he will be appointed to go out to fight. When the war is over, he will be dismissed. Everyone is doing whatever they were supposed to be doing.

This thing was only made permanent by a group of fools after Liu Hong died.

Liu Cang, the Sima of the Left Army, was appointed to be the main subordinate officer of Zhang Wen, General of Chariots and Cavalry, to lead the troops in coordinated operations. Generals of Chariots and Cavalry were not permanent, so naturally he, the Sima of the Left Army, was given temporary orders to disband after completing this task.

Everyone gathered in the main palace of Meiyang. Zhang Wen was a little more elegant than Huangfu Song, but less cold as a general.

Sun Jian, who joined the army, Dong Zhuo, the general who defeated the bandits, Zhou Shen, the general who defeated the bandits, and Bao Hong, Fufeng on the right, all the leaders from all over the country gathered together. Among them was Yuan Pang, who had a rather embarrassing identity.

An old man in his sixties was given the position of Deputy General Zhang Wen.

It goes without saying what the commander-in-chief and the deputy-general do. I don’t know who the unscrupulous person was who gave Yuan Pang this position. I don’t know whether he wanted Yuan Pang to die or was looking for death himself.

Liu Cang arrived and everyone was introduced to each other. Many areas from Meiyang to Jincheng were besieged by the rebels, but Liangzhou was special and the rebels did not dare to attack the city and occupy the land at will.

The first priority of the counter-rebellion army is to repel the cavalry invasion led by Beigong Boyu. However, these people in the Guangzhu Mansion are obviously not united.

"In other words, due to insufficient baggage, the cavalry led by General Dong and General Zhou have not been able to gather troops in Meiyang?"

In charge of the affairs of the palace, Sun Jian stood beside Zhang Wen, and Yuan Pang sat under Zhang Wen. Liu Cang frowned and looked at Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, questioning in a calm tone.

"Haha, General Liu doesn't know something. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are united. There are more than 40,000 rebel cavalry. This is not a war in the Central Plains. If you want to defeat the rebels, you need to prevent the cavalry from scattering."

"We also need a large number of cavalry to go to war. These people eat horse chews, and the horses cannot be deprived of food and grass. If we don't have enough baggage to gather troops and waste the horses, the gain will not be worth the loss."

Liu Cang questioned, Zhou Shen frowned, Dong Zhuo had a wry smile on his lips, and patiently explained to Liu Cang.

"Well, Cang is new here and doesn't understand the situation. Does General Zhou think so-and-so is too troublesome? He is dissatisfied with so-and-so." Nodding to Dong Zhuo, Liu Cang looked at Zhou Shen and walked up to Zhou Shen while speaking.

Beigong Boyu rebelled years ago, and the army commanders were replaced. The distance from Hanoi to Meiyang was at most the distance from Luoyang to Chang'an. After three or four months of gathering troops, the main cavalry had not yet entered the army. Dong Zhuo

That wry smile was not helpless, it was just thick-skinned no matter how you looked at it.

Dong Zhuo managed to cope with the situation, but Zhou Shen clearly showed his impatience. Liu Cang had a questioning tone and seemed to want to attack Zhou Shen. Zhang Wen and Sun Jian's eyes lit up, while Yuan Pang had a slightly surprised expression on his face.

"Ha, if the commander-in-chief intends to let Liu Sima take charge of the military affairs, the general will not dare to question Liu Sima's knowledge of the war situation." Zhou Shen chuckled, with a frivolous tone, and looked at Zhang Wen as he spoke.

Sima of the Left Army has great authority in the army, but the premise depends on the attitude and ability of the commander. Especially in this kind of combined army, if you have the ability to assist the commander to control the entire army, if you are not capable, Zhou Shen is the best example.

"Commander, Zhou Shen disobeys the emperor's orders and delays the war. The general will ask Fu Jie to punish lawbreakers!" Zhou Shen was arrogant and showed off his words. Liu Cang sneered and stood beside Zhou Shen. Without waiting for Zhang Wen to say anything, he clasped his fists at Zhang Wen.

said.

"How dare you!?" Zhou Shen was startled and raised his head to glare at Liu Cang. Suddenly, he saw a trace of murderous intent on Liu Cang's face, and he couldn't help but panic.

Zhang Wen led the troops and used the talisman as a pretext, that is, the emperor lent the imperial talisman to Zhang Wen to use to intimidate the place. It is similar to the so-called Shang Fang Sword in later generations. It is fine if you don't take it out. If you do, it will cost some lives.

Zhou Shen was shocked and angry, Dong Zhuo's childish eyes shrank, Bao Hong, who was also in the hall, quietly moved away from Zhou Shen, and Liu Cang took two steps.

As for Zhang Wen, Liu Cang felt a little panic from him. Sun Jian beside him looked excited, and Liu Cang felt unbearable.

"I said that the commander-in-chief can invite the talisman. Once the talisman comes out, I will punish the unruly people on my behalf. Do you think I dare?" Liu Cang took another step toward Zhou Shen, lowered his head and looked down at Zhou Shen, with anger flashing in his eyes.

Liu Cang's words were arrogant, and he seemed to be making the decision for Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen's eyes lit up, and he swept away his previous panic. He glanced between Zhou Shen and Liu Cang again and again, seeming to hesitate, but finally looked at Yuan Pang.

"Alas~" Yuan Pang shook his head and sighed softly, with an inexplicable meaning.

"Don't fight anymore. We are facing a powerful enemy. We should work together to fight against the enemy. Liu Cang, this is not Luoyang. Even if you are not afraid of the general, don't destroy the loyalty of the army." Yuan Pang said calmly.

The hall fell into silence. He was already intimidated by Liu Cang's momentum. At this moment, Zhou Shen shrank even more. Yuan Pang's words had no beginning or end, but the sentence "Don't be afraid of the general" was obviously the key.

Yuan Pang was well-known and never spoke lies. Thinking about Dong Zhuo's attitude towards Liu Cang, Zhou Shen could not help but take a few steps back and no longer confront Liu Cang with his chest raised.

Many people know that Liu Cang is the nephew-in-law of Zhang Rang, and there are many rumors about his actions in the Yellow Turban Battle, but some minor incidents between him and He Jin are basically only spread among Luoyang officials.

Zhou Shen didn't know the details of Liu Cang. He originally relied on his support, but thought that Liu Cang was a member of the eunuch line. You have a royal eunuch behind you, and I also have a relative and a general behind me. Who is afraid of whom?

But Yuan Pang raised the point and said that he was not afraid of the general. It was very natural. Facing Liu Cang who had obvious murderous intentions, Zhou Shen did not dare to test Liu Cang's bottom line.

"The baggage and food supplies should have been prepared in Liangzhou. This is Bao Hong's responsibility. We are leading the troops to prepare for war. There is nothing we can do until the baggage has arrived." Zhou Shen retreated to Dong Zhuo and explained, reluctantly submissive.

Bao Hong, a member of the Bao clan in Liangzhou, could barely be considered a powerful person in the north. He now lives in Youfufeng. During this war, he was responsible for quelling the rebellion and was also responsible for recruiting military supplies and supplies in Liangzhou.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Highness, the situation in Liangzhou is really different from that in the Central Plains." Liu Cang looked at Bao Hong, and Bao Hong, who originally had an attitude of having nothing to do with him, also had a look on his face.

He smiled bitterly.

His Highness called out, but his eyes quietly looked at Zhang Wen. Seeing that Zhang Wen's expression did not change, he became more cautious about Liu Cang.

"Your Highness, there are many Hu Qiang who have returned to the Han Dynasty in Liangzhou. These tribes still abide by Han laws on weekdays, but with this rebellion, if we ask them to recruit grain and grass, we will push them as much as possible and delay them as much as possible."

"There are many local powerful people who are capricious. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. One day they are thieves and tomorrow they are soldiers. Han Sui and Bian Zhang gathered an army of 100,000 in a short period of time. Among them, the powerful nomads played an indispensable role."

"The general also knows that the supply of supplies is urgent, but he cannot forcefully requisition food and grass because he is afraid that those who want to live in peace will be incited to support the rebels again," Bao Hong explained.

"Well, I'd like to help you, General Bao." Liu Cang nodded politely, and Bao Hong looked at Liu Cang in surprise.

"Haha, I should explain in detail what my responsibilities are." Bao Hong smiled and nodded in return to Liu Cang.

"Liu is young and has little knowledge. He has just arrived here, but he doesn't hesitate to express some things to you." Liu Cang no longer asked Bao Hong, talking to you, but looked at Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen.

"Haha, General Liu just said it doesn't matter." Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

"A certain hereditary Duke of Dongping, leading the Shanglin Garden Order, is quite happy, but he has no intention of doing such troublesome things as mediating. Being transferred to the army today will not ruin the loyalty of the army for no reason."

When Liu Cang spoke up, Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen nodded in agreement. As for whether they believed Liu Cang's lies or not, only the ghosts knew.

"I'm not interested in getting involved in General He's plans. I should join hands with the General and other generals when marching." Liu Cang said again, and the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

"I haven't won the championship yet, so I am too lazy to ask for military and military achievements. However, this battle involves the Hu and Qiang rebellion. Whoever makes things look ugly.

"

"Humph, don't dare to act rashly. Even if the general is in front of you, I will tell you." Liu Cang sneered, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly stiffened. Dong Zhuo's smile was far-fetched, and Zhou Shen's face was as frosty, but there was something in his eyes.

timidity.

"Haha, General Liu speaks bluntly, haha.

"Dong Zhuo responded with a smile, his words had no meaning. Seeing Liu Cang standing aside without saying anything, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Bao Hong is a local snake and probably belongs to the neutral faction. He does not seek merit in this battle, but seeks to have no faults and not to mess with others.

Sun Jian is not that complicated. He simply wants to perform meritorious service. Once he has achieved military exploits, there will naturally be people in the court who will help him stand out.

Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen obeyed the orders of the generals and indirectly held military power.

It’s okay for coach Zhang Wen to say that he is Liu Hong’s man, but it’s not a big problem to say that he is an eunuch.

As for Yuan Pang, Cuncui was probably deceived this time because someone had the idea of ​​holding the Jinwu position.

The composition of a counter-rebellion army is complex. When Liu Cang first came to establish his authority, he arrogantly stated that he was just there for a formality.

After Liu Cang expressed his stance, the atmosphere became awkward and stiff. Zhang Wen asked everyone to retreat, and Sun Jian, Zhang Wen, Yuan Pang, and Liu Cang gathered together.

Only then did Liu Cang calm down his arrogance and complain on his face.

"My commander-in-chief, I promised you not to look for someone, but this is a mess, why do you insist on dragging someone in?" Liu Cang complained to Zhang Wen.

"Haha, we really need Haoxuan to rescue us." Zhang Wenle said with a smile.

"What can I do to break the siege? Your Majesty has not sent any troops to me. You can see which of the three people is easy to get along with." Liu Cang shook his head, and the four of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
