Chapter 241 Yuan Shao won the battle

When Liu Hong heard He Jin's recommendation of Yuan Shao, he said, "Where is Yuan Shao?"

In the squad, Yuan Shao's heart was pounding and it was finally his turn to go on the field. If he could suppress the Yellow Turban soldiers this time, in time, he would become the backbone of the Han Dynasty. His achievements and fame would be far beyond his elders, and the Yuan family would be more superior!

Yuan Shao responded, knelt on the red carpet, and said, "I am Yuan Shao!"

Liu Hong did not talk to him directly, but looked around and asked, "Don't wait for Li Qin to arrive anymore? What if the Yulin Army is defeated again? Then no one will guard the capital and no one will protect me!"

After a short while in the court, the ministers immediately started to talk. Although there were too many people and they were talking, their opinions were probably consistent. More than 70% of the ministers advocated not to wait for Li Qin to come, and it would be better to send the Yulin Army out directly.

Wang Yun walked out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that judging from the current situation, it is most appropriate to send the Yulin Army. It takes too long for Li Qin's army to go from Liangzhou to Julu. Moreover, if the Fujiao Army is defeated again, the Yellow Turban thieves will be even more arrogant. They were just shouting to attack the capital, but maybe they will really attack the capital when Li Qin is defeated too!"

Liu Hong was not afraid of anything else, but was afraid that the Yellow Turban soldiers would come over. He nodded quickly and said, "You are right, that's true!"

Wang Yun said again: "But if the Yulin Army is sent now, even if the record is still poor, it will eliminate the arrogance of the Yellow Turban Thieves. Zhang Jiao realized that the Yulin Army was powerful, and there were more Yulin Army in the capital, so they would not be able to win. In this way, they would turn around and fight other places. As time goes by, Li Qin and Fujiao Army arrived, so he could deal with the Yellow Turban Army in another state. With Li Qin's ability, he would definitely win, and the capital could also avoid the war!"

After hearing this analysis, Liu Hong finally stopped being afraid and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, your idea is so good, just do what you said!" He waved his hand and said, "Yuan Shao added the title of General to challenge the rebellion and brought 10,000 Yulin Army out of the capital to suppress the rebellion!"

Yuan Shao immediately said: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's heavy trust, and I will definitely destroy the Yellow Turban Rebels and repay His Majesty with triumphant success!"

After the court dispersed, He Jin pulled Yuan Shao and the two left the palace together. He Jin said, "By the first time, you know that I am looking forward to you. Although we have less contact in recent times, we are just busy with things, not deliberately neglecting you. You need to understand this."

Because Wang Yun said that Zhang Rang and others intended to build eight lieutenants in Xiyuan, including Yuan Shao. Since then, He Jin has not been very friendly to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao went to see him, he often stayed away from him. But now he wanted to send troops out of the capital, He Jin could no longer find anyone else. He could only bite the bullet and remember Yuan Shao again, and recommended him to lead his troops to the expedition.

Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Why did you say this? Shao never thought that you would ignore me. If it weren't for the recommendation of the current dynasty today, how could Shao lead his troops to the expedition?"

He Jin nodded and said, "Send you to the front line, the troops are only 10,000, but I think it's enough. After you go to Julu, you are optimistic about Huangfu Song's old man. He is defeated repeatedly. If you can win a few battles, I can work hard in the court to replace him and become the commander of the entire army."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed and claimed thanks. The two of them said something else, and then they broke up and went home.

A few days after that, Yuan Shao actively prepared and chose a zodiac auspicious day. He led 10,000 Yulin Army to fight to the war, left Luoyang, and rushed to Julu.

Not all the ten thousand Yulin Army were trained by Yuan Shao, but when Yuan Shao was training new recruits, the Yulin Army had almost seen them, so they were still familiar with them. During the march, Yuan Shao conducted assault training for the Yulin Army, so the tens of thousands of Yulin Army who went on the expedition could claim that they were all new troops, but whether the combat effectiveness was strong or weak, it still remains to be tested.

When we were a hundred miles away from Julu, we saw the Han army's barracks. The Han army could no longer camp under Julu City and was driven out by the Yellow Turban Army a hundred miles away. If the Yellow Turban Army had not rushed into the army, most of the generals in the army did not understand military tactics and could not provide effective logistics supply to the army, then maybe the Yellow Turban Army could really drive the Han army all the way west and really attack Luoyang!

After Yuan Shao entered the barracks, he immediately went to meet with the left general Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song was one of the leading generals and was responsible for the attack on Julu. Yuan Shao came here to support him, which was included in his command.

Huangfu Song was very capable in war, but the greater the ability, the harder it was to get along with. He had little relationship with the eunuch group and the He Jin group, so the chore of the head naturally fell on his shoulders. In real history, he was indeed one of the meritorious generals to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but because he offended the eunuch group, his final outcome was not too wonderful. When Dong Zhuo harmed the capital, he did not do much. He might have been attacked by the eunuch group, so he was discouraged and could only protect himself.

Yuan Shao was called into Huangfu Song's tent and saw Huangfu Song standing in front of the map with a blank expression on his face, looking a little dazed.

Yuan Shao said, "General Huangfu, the last general Yuan Shao has given you a greeting!" He said that, he bowed with his fists.

Huangfu Song whispered, turned around, looked at Yuan Shao, and said, "It turned out to be Benchu. It was you who really came. A few days ago, I received news from Beijing that you were sent to support the front line. I was wondering why even the Yulin Army sent out. Could it be that the adults in the court really underestimated me to this extent?"

The court even sent out the Yulin Army, so naturally it was believed that Huangfu Song would not support him for long. If he thought Huangfu Song could still fight, why should he send the Yulin Army? The Yulin Army is a royal army and its main responsibility is to defend the capital.

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "The reason here is complicated, just like a mess. Rather than believing in General Huangfu or not, it is better to believing in Li Qin or not."

Huangfu Song made a gesture of invitation. He sat down with Yuan Shao. The soldiers brought tea and drank a sip of hot tea. Huangfu Song said, "Your Majesty has summoned Li Qindong? And is Li Qin really here?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Is there anyone else that won't come? Li Qin dreamed of leading troops to the east! However, I heard that he is still in Sizhou and is struggling in Chang'an. After he has been struggling enough, he will naturally be struggling to the east. So, our time is very tight!"

Huangfu Song yelled and said, "What a moral thing about military and national affairs is like this? How can we play intrigue with each other?"

Yuan Shao said: "What can I do if this is the case?"

After a moment of silence, Huangfu Song said, "It's really a wolf driving in the front door, and a tiger entering the back door. The Yellow Turban Rebels in the east have not yet suppressed them. A more powerful Li Qin came to the west. Our Han Dynasty is in chaos!"

From the perspective of ministers, Huangfu Song was indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. After he suppressed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was strong and had a great reputation. Some people suggested that he ascend the throne and become emperor and find the country with the flow, but he refused. Moreover, when the eunuch group suppressed him in the future, he did not feel angry and started a rebellion. In this regard, he was much stronger than other generals. The more loyal a person was, the more direct the words were, because he had no ghosts in his heart and was not afraid of others' plans.

Yuan Shao was not as open as him. He said, "Li Qin was deeply favored by the country and should not have any second thoughts. General Huangfu is careful to speak!"

Huangfu Song shook his head and said, "What are you afraid to say about this? It's all the things that everyone knows. If you weren't afraid of Li Qin coming, why should you send you to Julu with the Yulin Army? Didn't you just want to end the war here earlier? Once the war ended, Li Qin naturally couldn't come. But the big men in the court didn't think about it. The Yellow Turban Thieves were so powerful that if they were in a hurry to fight without paying attention to strategies, the consequences would be very serious!"

Yuan Shao naturally knew this, and he said: "Now the Yellow Turban Rebels think that they can rebel successfully, so they learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but if we can divide it and suspend the offensive, then their mobs will have internal strife, share power, and just a bunch of mud legs. How great can they have? Once they have internal strife, our army will attack again, and they will be able to defeat one by one and win easily!"

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "But now, the more anxious the attack is, the more the Yellow Turban Rebels will be able to join forces and the more fierce the resistance will be. If they are allowed to go out of Julu, it will really bring chaos in the world!"

"I heard that there have been rebels in other places responding!" Yuan Shao said.

The two of them were silent and anxious to eat hot tofu. They would definitely burn their mouths, but they had no choice. Who made them just generals who obeyed orders? The big men who made decisions in the court thought differently from them.

At this moment, a soldier ran into the tent and said, "Report to General, a team of Yellow Turban thieves came to Julu. There were more than ten thousand people. It seemed that they were coming out to grab food and grass. They were only more than ten miles away from our army's camp. They arrived in a blink of an eye!"

Yuan Shao immediately jumped up and said, "General Huangfu, the last general is willing to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to defeat this Yellow Turban thief!"

Huangfu Song was stunned and said, "You are just a newcomer and have not yet rested to reorganize the army. How can you fight?"

Yuan Shao said, "I will not hide it from General Huangfu. When Shao was training the new army, he had one of the things he wanted to fight the enemy during the march. Today is a try!"

Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then you will lead the troops to fight. I will wait for your good news in the tent."

Yuan Shao stepped out of the tent and ordered his troops to fight. As soon as he came out of the tent, the generals under Huangfu Song came in one after another. They were very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's original idea, just like Huangfu Song's initial thought.

A general said, "General, why did you let Yuan Shao fight? How could the masters of the Yulin Army he brought were the opponents of the Yellow Turban Thieves? He has never seen the difference between the Yellow Turban Thieves. It's really overwhelming!"

Huangfu Song snorted and said, "What's wrong with letting him suffer? Let him know that the Yellow Turban Thief is not so easy to pacify!"

The generals all thought that Yuan Shao should teach him a little lesson so that he could know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!

At most half an hour later, there was a loud noise outside. Several soldiers rode their horses to the tent. A soldier dismounted and rushed in and shouted: "General, General Yuan won a great victory, beheaded more than a thousand, and he had already defeated the Yellow Turban thieves and was on his way back!"
