Lord Yuan

Chapter 206 He Jin’s political and military abilities
When the prison car of Huangfu Song and others was slowly pressed into Luoyang, even General He Jin, who had been sticking to the capital and arranged for various counties to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans, was surprised.

He Jin was born a butcher, and he became famous with the help of his sister. Strictly speaking, among the queens of Emperor Ling, He Jin was the most powerful. In addition, He Jin was good at winning over people's hearts and treated the scholars with a close relationship. Most of the scholars imprisoned by the party turned to He Jin's side.

As a result, He Jin had many talents under his command, and even the three current generals were actually able to lead their troops to attack under He Jin's advice.

At this time, He Jin was a little overwhelmed when he saw that two of them were being escorted into a prison car, and there was also a eunuch named Cao Mengde.

After understanding the whole story, He Jin, whose face was full of anger, waved his hand and immediately ordered the guards around him to step forward and untie the prison car of Huangfu Song and others. As for Cao Mengde, He Jin thought for a moment and simply untied them all. open.

"Huangfu Zhonglang will suffer such injustice. As a general, I should find justice for you!" He Jin's noble-sounding attitude made Huangfu Song and others flattered.

Whether it was status or reputation, He Jin was far above a few others.

And because many people were recommended by He Jin, they were able to get this honor and go to the Yellow Turbans, so they were very close to the general He Jin.

Only when it was Cao Cao's turn, He Jin's face flashed with a cold look and his eyes widened.

"How could Lieutenant Cao fall into such a situation? The eunuch is your ancestor, why did he deceive him into being escorted in a prison car?"

Cao Cao's face changed drastically. He hated people making fun of this matter. Most of the time, Cao Cao was able to get to this point purely by relying on his own ability. As for his ancestors, Cao Cao had always disdained to rely on his help, but he didn't want to, No matter how hard he tried, the eunuch's reputation would always stick to him like a dog-skin plaster.

After getting rid of the prison car, Cao Cao, who was wearing prison uniform, looked indifferent. He tilted his head to one side and cupped his hands and said, "Don't you, the general, hear that Huaibi is guilty? Although Cao Cao's ancestors were hereditary eunuchs, I am now your majesty's specially appointed cavalry captain. It doesn’t matter!”

He Jin smiled sarcastically: "Then how did you end up becoming a disciple from the rank of Cavalry Captain?"

When Huangfu Song saw this, he quickly tried to smooth things over. He didn't know why the general had such hatred for the eunuchs. He immediately grabbed Cao Cao's hand and said, "The general doesn't know something. The cavalry captain fought bravely. During the war, he always followed Cao Cao." He has done many meritorious deeds without backing down. If he hadn't been implicated by me, how would he have ended up where he is today? I hope the general will not hurt him with the eunuch's words!"

He Jin's face was startled, his eyebrows were furrowed and his beard grew, and a ferocious aura appeared in his eyes unconsciously. He Jin did not expect this when he heard Huangfu Song's advice for Cao Cao.

Then he turned to look at Huangfu Song: "Is the Yellow Turban Army really so brave? That it makes you all invincible? The Han army is so elite, how can a group of rabble cause such disaster? In my opinion, I only need to lead the Han army personally. The elites will fight head-on with the ant thief, and it won't take more than a few days to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

He Jin never thought that the Yellow Turban would become a thing. His background as a low-class person had already laid the foundation, and he would never be able to cause any harm to the rule of the Han Dynasty. If His Majesty had not failed to accept the advice, Taiwei Yang Ci, Huangfu Song and others had given advice. There are many suggestions to restrict the activities of the Yellow Turbans. If these measures were followed, there would be no problem with the Yellow Turbans today.

Of course, the emperor was right after all. The only fault was that these untouchables, who did not know the heights of heaven and earth, dared to resist the rule of the Han emperor. As a close minister of the emperor and a relative, he was naturally bound to do so.

Although the disaster caused by the Yellow Turbans this time can be said to be unprecedented, and in just a few days, various states and counties have risen up, but in fact, in the core area and around Luoyang, there was actually no damage at all.

However, the surrounding counties and counties that did not have sufficient defense force were dealt devastating blows. From time to time, governors and governors of prefectures and counties were killed by the angry Yellow Turbans.

In this case, Yuan Shao's move to defeat the Yellow Turbans on the frontal battlefield was like a shot in the arm.

Even He Jin, who always considered himself superior to others, praised Yuan Shao highly.

When Yuan Shao, the general who conquered Liao at that time, returned from Liaodong, He Jin took the lead in expressing his attitude. He greeted him thirty miles outside Luoyang and personally led his subordinates, civil and military officials, all of whom, without exception, came from aristocratic families. The pinnacle of power among the great clans.

Even so, when Yuan Shao returned, He Jin was impressed by this powerful general from Du Liao.

Of course, it is not because Yuan Shao comes from the Yuan family in Runan.

He Jin has always wanted to get the full support of Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei and other Runan aristocratic families. Only in this way can his position as general be extremely stable. It can be said that He Jin's efforts in the general's mansion are , no less than anyone else.

In response to He Jin's sudden kindness, Yuan Shao, who had not yet established his foundation, returned to his old place and said with a smile that he, Yuan Shao, would always be the strongest support behind the general.

Yuan Shao made it very clear that he only represented his own strength and had nothing to do with the Yuan family.But He Jin doesn't think so. You, Yuan Shao, now seem to be the leader of the Runan family. As long as you take a stand, can the other families follow?Since Yuan Shao has made such great achievements, anyone who is not a fool can see that he will definitely have a place in the future Three Dukes, and there is a high possibility that he will be given the title even if he is recorded as a minister.

The icing on the cake is never the best way to show kindness.

He Jin was in favor of Yuan Shao's appointment as a guard, and all the officials under his command naturally followed their master.

Now, I see that the people I recommended are losing ground on the front battlefield. If Huangfu Song hadn't turned the tide and barely won for a while, he, the old general, would have lost all his face. Now he has encountered such a disaster. , the coach in front went around in a circle without his permission, and actually reached His Majesty's ears directly.

This move instantly made He Jin's hatred of eunuchs even stronger.

After all, besides the abominable Shi Chang Attendant, who else could slander His Majesty and make such a stupid move as arresting the frontline commander during the war.

"General, you must not do it. The Yellow Turbans are powerful. Our Han troops have not yet arrived one after another. If we rush to meet the enemy, we may damage our foundation. If the morale of the Han army is sharply reduced, it will easily lead to many rebellions."

Huangfu Song waved his hands repeatedly. He could see that the momentum of the Yellow Turban bandits was getting stronger and stronger, and naturally they could not match the enemy's strengths with their weaknesses.

He Jin was displeased and looked at Huangfu Song questioningly.

"Then Weiwei Yuan was able to defeat the 10,000+ Yellow Turban main force with 20 cavalry. Could it be that I, the general, was not as good as the general of the Liao Dynasty? Furthermore, Luoyang is the capital city, and the three armies are so elite that together they are enough. The number of [-] people is enough to deal with a ragtag crowd, but the number of [-] people can be determined with just a snap of the finger!"

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and then he warned earnestly: "If the Weiwei can achieve such results, we in Luoyang may not be able to achieve the same results as the Weiwei. The number of yellow turban bandits faced by our Luoyang capital is far from high." Compared with the state, secondly, this bandit Kou Qushuai is a brave general named Bocai. Many of our Han army were defeated by him head-on, with almost no power to fight back. Thirdly, at this time, the Yellow Turbans were in full force. At this time, our Han army has been inert during the day and has returned in the evening, waiting for the ant bandits to fight for a long time without achieving any results. The biggest disadvantage of the Yellow Turbans is that the logistics cannot keep up, which will cause the Yellow Turban bandits to scatter in all directions, and our army will be able to put down the enemy without any effort. !”

After hearing this, He Jin retorted: "In that case, why did General Huangfu Zhonglang appear here? There are nearly ten thousand elite Han troops in Yingchuan and there are high walls. How could this ant thief be killed so easily? Break through? In my opinion, it would be better to fight the Yellow Turbans head-on like Wei Wei did in the previous battle, in order to completely establish the power of our Han army and make the rebels all over the world beg for their surrender!"

Huangfu Song was so angry that if he hadn't relied on his sister-in-law to get ahead, his majesty would have been just a wealthy businessman but a butcher. His current status was all due to his status as a relative, but his real military ability was appalling.

Such simple military principles are completely ignorant. General He Jin cannot be said to be a complete fool, but his political and military levels are no different from a butcher. Now he is just guarding the Luoyang capital, adhering to logistics work, and does not need to After actually arriving at the front line and not experiencing a real war, He Jin will only remind everyone of Yuan Shao's actions.

Huangfusong often heard bad things about He Jin from other places. Most of them were saying that his virtue was not worthy of his position, so he did not show his appearance. His Majesty's decision to sit in the capital as a general was probably the most outrageous decision.

As for what He Jin said, in his view, although the achievements of the Weiwei were indeed rare in the world, it also allowed the Han army to gain temporary prestige, and the land of Youzhou was once again under the control of the Han Dynasty. However, Jizhou and Yuzhou were not the same as Youzhou is completely different. On the one hand, Jizhou is the area where the main force of the Yellow Turbans is stationed, so it will naturally face a large number of Yellow Turban attacks. Yuzhou is because most of the political power of the Han Dynasty and even the majority of the aristocratic families have settled here. The capital of Shangluoyang is naturally the key target of the Yellow Turbans' attack.

However, He Jin was ignorant of these assumptions. This was true for everyone in the Han Dynasty, let alone the capital of Luoyang.

Huangfu Song wanted to tell this general, come down quickly. This position is not something you can do. If things go on like this, sooner or later, the Han army will be completely destroyed by this idiot general. It is better to let the guard take charge of the capital. With Yuan Shao at the helm of the defense force, the momentum of the entire Han army must have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Compared with Yuan Shao's reputation, there is almost no negative news. With him in charge, Huangfu Song will feel at ease.

"In this case, the general might as well ask the guard to decide how to fight the Yellow Turbans."

Huangfu Song cupped his hands and said that at this time, he was still a prisoner who was escorted back to the capital by His Majesty's order. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely be furious again.

He wanted to see His Majesty, even if he did not care about his own safety, he wanted to persuade Your Majesty to let the guards take charge of the capital. It won't be long before the Yellow Turban army led by Bocai will attack Luoyang. By then everyone will If you are in danger, He Jin, this idiot, will be even more at a loss.

However, He Jin spoke loudly and ridiculed the yellow scarf.

If our great Han Dynasty were destroyed, He Jin would be the culprit!
Just when He Jin and Huangfu Song were arguing, there were suddenly overwhelming shouts of killing outside the city, wind and sand were everywhere, and there was a heavy black cloud.

"The yellow turban ants are attacking!"
