Chapter 93: To pacify Runan, the sword points at Guangzong!
Two days later.
Runan, Mengcheng.
Looking at Mengcheng where the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army were scattered all over, Gu Rubing could not help but exhale slowly. His face looked a little tired, but more of it was joyful.
During this time, Gu Rubing was either on the march or attacking the Yellow Turbans, and had almost no time to rest.
As these Yellow Turbans entrenched in the easternmost part of Runan were captured by Gu Rubing's troops, it can be said that the Yellow Turban rebellion in Runan has been basically suppressed!
It took less than a month, and the battle damage was minimal!
What's more important is that since Fan Jiang was promoted from a soldier to a general, during this period of time, two more soldiers from Gu Rubing's headquarters who were good at fighting were promoted to generals in battle!
Moreover, by summarizing the process of the promotion of these two soldiers to generals, Gu Rubing probably also figured out some rules for the promotion of soldiers to generals.
Kill generals, ascend first, trap the enemy, and capture the flag!
Soldiers who complete these four great feats have a greater chance of being promoted to generals!
Although the two newly promoted generals, like Fan Jiang, are blank slate generals without any characteristics, I am afraid that the upper limit is second-rate generals. It is extremely difficult to become a first-rate general.
However, a general is a general after all, and his individual combat power is far beyond that of other ordinary soldiers.
As for these three generals, Gu Rubing appointed them all as commanders, each commanding fifty soldiers.
"Next, you can go to Guyang, Pei State, and meet Huangfu Song!"
Gu Rubing's eyes sparkled.
When he was conquering the Yellow Turbans in Runan, Huangfu Song was naturally not idle. After suppressing the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, he immediately sent troops to the east, pushing all the way, and no one dared to stop him!
Now, Huangfu Song has pacified Chen and Liang, and even half of Pei has been pacified, and his efficiency is even higher than that of Gu Rubing!
In fact, up to now, the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yuzhou can basically be said to have been completely suppressed.
This speed is much faster than in history.
At this speed, when he leads his troops to join Huangfu Song, he can rush to Guangzong, and then hang on Huangfu Song's thigh to gain military merit!
Thinking of this, Gu Rubing immediately ordered: "The whole army listens to the order, cleans the battlefield, and sets off tomorrow to join General Huangfu in Guyang."
"Here!"
The whole army responded loudly, and then immediately began to clean up the battlefield.
Soon, after cleaning the battlefield and disposing of their weapons, the 6,000-strong army rested in Mengcheng.
At dawn the next day, Gu Rubing summoned the three armies, left Runan, and rushed to Guyang, Pei State.
Runan is adjacent to Pei State, Pei State is to the east of Runan, and Mengcheng is to the east of Runan. The distance between the two is not far.
Therefore, just one day later, Gu Rubing led his army into the territory of Pei State. Two days later, he successfully arrived at Guyang and joined Huangfu Song's army!
Inside the Han army camp.
Even though the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou have been almost completely suppressed, Huangfusong is still frowning and his expression is extremely ugly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Huangfusong looked at the messenger in front of him, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Everything my subordinate said is true, I don't dare to deceive the general!"
The messenger's face was solemn, he cupped his hands and said: "Lu Zhonglang has been dismissed and escorted back to Beijing. Dong Zhuo has been appointed as General Dong Zhonglang. He will replace Lu Zhonglang and go to Guangzong to fight Zhang Jiao. Counting the days, Dong Zhuo should have arrived." It’s been a while, maybe I’ve already gotten along with Zhang Jiao.”
Hearing what the messenger said, Huangfu Song became even more embarrassed. After a long silence, he waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back."
"yes!"
The messenger handed over his hand, turned around and left the camp.
After the messengers left, Huangfusong couldn't help but rub his temples.
Although Lu Zhi stood high and refused to fight, Zhang Jue failed to break through the defense line and was locked in Guangzong. Therefore, even if Lu Zhi had no merit, he had absolutely no fault. How could he be dismissed from office because of this?
More importantly, he and Lu Zhi have known each other for a long time and are very aware of Lu Zhi's ability to command troops.
Although Lu Zhi was cautious in using his troops and planned every step of the way, he was not afraid to take risks. As long as he was 70% sure, Lu Zhi would definitely give it a try!
Since Lu Zhi has not attacked yet, it means that Lu Zhi is not even 70% sure!
Although Dong Zhuo has repeatedly made military exploits in Xiliang, his ability to command troops is still inferior to Lu Zhi's. Even Lu Zhi is not confident about dealing with Zhang Jiao. Would it be possible for him to be Dong Zhuo?
What's more, temporary change of generals has been a taboo for military strategists since ancient times. The sudden change of generals will destabilize the military morale. If this continues, it will be difficult for Dong Zhuo to hold Guangzong, let alone trap Zhang Jiao!
Just when Huangfusong felt a severe headache, a personal guard wearing chain-link armor suddenly walked into the camp, raised his hands and said: "General, Liu Junhou wants to see you."
"Xuande is back?"
Huangfu Song was slightly stunned at first, and then said happily: "Please invite Xuande to come in!"
"yes."
The bodyguard surrendered his hands and took the order to leave.
Soon, under the leadership of his personal guards, Gu Rubing walked into the camp.
As soon as Gu Rubing entered the camp and before he could say anything, Huangfu Song quickly walked up to Gu Rubing and asked impatiently: "Xuande, you have come to Guyang, which means that Runan has been pacified." Already?"
"Fortunately, Bei has lived up to his mission. Runan Yellow Turban has been pacified by all of them!"
Gu Rubing cupped his hands and said.
"Okay! Okay!"
Even though Huangfusong immediately guessed that Runan should have been pacified after learning that Gu Rubing had arrived in Guyang, he still couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Gu Rubing say it himself, and said: "Xuande deserves it. He is the pillar of my great Han Dynasty and can be called the pillar of the country!"
Gu Rubing raised his hands and said, neither humble nor condescending: "General Huangfu is overrated."
Huangfu Song glanced at Gu Rubing and said with a smile: "Xuande, you really surprised me. You led the troops to kill the two thieves Bo Cai and Peng Tuo. You did such a great job and you didn't even mention it?"
Gu Rubing smiled and said, "Don't General Huangfu know?"
"Hahahaha, you did such a big thing under my nose. If I didn't know, how could I still be the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces?"
Huangfu Song smiled and said, "I heard that the two thieves Bo Cai and Peng Tuo gathered together to gather the Yellow Turban Army in Xihua. I was about to lead the troops to conquer, but during the march, I heard that Xihua City had been captured by Xuande. , the three armies were all stunned!"
"If you hadn't led your troops to kill the two thieves Bo Cai and Peng Tuo in Xihua in advance, and when the two thieves really gathered the Yuzhou Yellow Turbans and broken them into pieces, there would have been another hard fight!"
Gu Rubing cupped his hands and said, "This is all part of preparation."
"Xuande doesn't need to be too modest."
Huangfu Song shook his head, the smile on his face gradually faded, and asked: "Xuande, have you heard about Guangzong?"
Hearing this, Gu Rubing couldn't help but be startled.
But soon, Gu Rubing reacted immediately.
The news of Lu Zhi's dismissal finally came through!
Gu Rubing's mind changed rapidly, and then he immediately shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "Be prepared to know something, please ask General Huangfu to tell me."
"I just learned the news."
Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Ziqian was dismissed from his official post by the imperial court because he refused to fight at the high base and neglected the morale of the army. He was escorted back to Beijing. The imperial court sent Dong Zhuo to replace Zhonglang General, command the five schools of the Northern Army, and continue to fight against Zhang Jiao. .”
