Chapter 5: Xu Huang, the talent of a general
When only Niu Fu and Xu Huang left in the lobby, Niu Fu slowly stood up and said softly: "Gongming, are you very strange? Why did I not arrange for you?"
"The general's ability to make a brilliant plan, but he dare not speculate," Xu Huang said with his head down, but there was a hint of unwillingness in his words.
"Haha" Niu Fu smiled loudly and said, "Gongming, do you believe I will?"
"Of course, the general not only uses troops as a god, but also has a peerless martial arts. Huang admires it very much." Hearing this, Xu Huang immediately said, to be honest, he looked down on Niu Fu before, but since Niu Fu picked his big sword and led him to defeat Bai Bo, especially in the battle to defeat Zhu Jun, he knew that he had completely misunderstood. Later, with his continuous promotion, he became a general who led the army alone from Yang Feng's subordinate, which made him even more aware of his encounter.
But he didn't understand that whether it was Bai Bo or Zhu Jun or Niu Fu would take him by his side to be the vanguard of the entire army, but this time there was no such important war.
"Gongming, I have said many times that you have rigorous military governance and obey orders. You have the talent of a general. This time, you are indeed very important to send troops to Chang'an, which is related to life and death. But in addition to Chang'an, what is more important is Hedong. This place is not only related to the safety of Guanzhong, but also to fight back to the Central Plains and monitor Luoyang. The most important thing is that I hope you stay. For the sake of our generals, we will defend this only stable foundation and also guard against the remaining Baibo Army. We are brave and fishing for troubled waters. Since ancient times, those who fight are important, but those who guard are more important. You can be willing to guard the East Gate of Guanzhong for our generals." Niu Fu said in a deep voice.
After Xu Huang's face was startled, he quickly knelt on one knee and said, "General I am willing, please rest assured. General I will definitely swear to guard Hedong to the death and protect his wife."
"Okay, with you, Xu Gongming, I will have no worries anymore." Niu Fu helped Xu Huang up and said with relief.
....
At noon, at the west gate, the army had gathered, mainly cavalry. Niu Fu, dressed in armor, held a long spear. The spear tip was very distinctive, a bit like a sword body, but not as long as the sword. There were two blood grooves on the spear tip. The blade of the spear was very sharp. It was a gun from the Niu Shop, which was drinking blood.
"Wenhe, you are a literati, so you will follow Brother Dong's rear army. I will ask Chi'er to protect you personally. Please pay attention to safety." Niu Fu looked at Jia Xu and said, "This is his only auxiliary countryman at present. Before he invaded Chang'an, something must not happen.
"General, don't worry," Jia Xu said after being grateful, "General, this battle is crucial. The general must defeat Li Su, so that he can completely unite the morale of the army and counterattack Chang'an."
"Wenhe Anxin"
"Xu has arranged people to pretend to be deserters before. They are all experienced personal soldiers. It is estimated that Li Su will soon receive the general killing Dong Zhonglang and snatch his troops, causing the soldiers to flee. The chaos in Anyi. With Li Su's heart and so-called wisdom, he may not fully believe that he will wait until Anyi is completely in chaos, so tonight is the best time. The general's soldiers are fast and fast, so you must not miss it."
Niu Fu nodded, looked at Hu Chier, and said seriously: "Chier, I will remind you that if there is any problem with Wenhe, I will definitely kill you."
"Don't worry, general, my subordinates will definitely wait firmly by the auxiliary army," Hu Chier said immediately.
"Yeah!" Niu Fu responded and looked at Dong Yue next to him, "Brother Dong, if everything is as Wenhe expected, then our army will be able to fight back to Chang'an as soon as possible, but if there is a deviation, food and grass are the key. Brother Dong leads the rear army to follow, remember to keep food and grass."
"The general is at ease, and he ordered Zhang Ji to escort the food and grass himself."
"Okay" Niu Fu looked at Xu Huang at the end again: "Gongming, Hedong will be handed over to you. To be honest, there are a few less, but at this time I will not give you more, you have to grasp the situation yourself."
"Please rest assured, General," Xu Huang said with a firm look.
"Well" Niu Fu seemed to react when he was about to start and said, "By the way, Brother Dong, the people of Guanzhong have many misunderstandings about their father-in-law, so this time, this time, you must not rob the people's wealth at will and cause morale chaos."
Hearing this, Dong Yue frowned, but said: "Don't worry, General."
Seeing this scene, Niu Fu knew that Dong Yue was probably in a dilemma. Since their Xiliang army entered Luoyang, the military discipline has indeed been much worse. He even said that it was burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. However, now he has no time to care about this, so he can only talk about it later.
"Okay, two days later, we will meet up with Gaoling" Niu Fudao
"Yes, General"
"Open the city gate" Niu Fu shouted at this time.
When the city gate slowly opened, Niu Fu turned over the war horse, waved his spear, and shouted: "Go away"
"yes"
After the vast cavalry left the city gate, Dong Yue was surprised and said: "The general seems to have changed completely. He has said before that the common people are like grass, not worth mentioning."
Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "The general has indeed changed a little, but more of the reason is that if the burning, killing, looting is too powerful, the soldiers' hearts will probably be dissipated. The general of the Central Army still needs to control it. When he takes it back to Chang'an, all the soldiers will receive a great reward."
Hearing this, Dong Yue nodded in agreement and said, "No problem, but the next thing is to see if the general can defeat Li Su successfully."
"General Zhonglang is at ease. Li Su will not be the general's opponent. The general has changed more than his personality. His martial arts are probably not as good as Lu Bu, but I am the most brave general in Xiliang now," said Jia Xu.
"Really" Dong Yue was shocked.
"The general will be clear tomorrow." Jia Xu smiled and turned to look at Xu Huang and said, "Gongming, I don't know if there is time, let's talk."
"Yes, the auxiliary army" Xu Huang said immediately.
Not long after, when Jia Xu took Xu Huang to the city tower in Anyi and waved his hand to let Hu Chier retreat temporarily, he smiled and said, "Gongming, the general has great trust in you. This Hedong county is so important. Not only does he look down on the Central Plains, but he also controls Luoyang as the eastern gate of Guanzhong, but the general has given you all, and there is not even a supervision. I guess once you take it back to Chang'an, you will be enthroned as the prefect of Hedong immediately."
Hearing this, Xu Huang sighed and said, "I am ashamed of my last words, I can only swear to be loyal to you."
"The morality of Gongming is beyond doubt, but loyalty alone is not enough. Hedong County has 19 counties, but now many are still under the control of the Baibo army. They are under threat. Last time they were defeated, they were already in a frightened manner. Gongming should look for an opportunity to destroy its leader and take it into elite soldiers." Jia Xu said seriously.
"Bai Bojun" Xu Huang's eyes were condensed.
"Yes, the general can't give you too many troops, but you can raise some by yourself. In terms of money, Xu will leave a part of it. Remember, if you have the opportunity, don't hesitate. If you can pacify the Hedong region, it will not only be the Central Plains, but also connect to the four northern states. This is related to the overall situation in the future, so you must not relax at all," said Jia Xu.
After being stunned, Xu Huang nodded immediately and said, "I understand."
"The general takes Gongming as the general who assists the country, and also hopes that Gongming regards the general as the pillar of prosperity," Jia Xu said earnestly at the end.
"The auxiliary army is at ease, Huang swears to be loyal to the general to death." Xu Huang bowed deeply.
"Okay, okay" Jia Xu nodded with a smile. Xu Huangzhi's talent not only valued it, but also valued it.
