Lord Yuan

Chapter 209
He Jin, who was like a headless fly, was overjoyed when he received such an answer from Yuan Shao.

Compared with Huangfu Song, who was relatively direct and did not leave any face to He Jin, Yuan Shao gave He Jin a clear reputation.

Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, it actually has no impact on Yuan Shao at all.

He is now in Luoyang, not Liaodong. Since ancient times, he has always accompanied the king like a tiger. Moreover, Liu Hong is violent at the slightest disagreement. Yuan Shao must ensure absolute safety.

Liu Hong did not speak, the Yellow Turban Army did not reach the hinterland of the capital, and Yuan Shao, as a guard, could not leave his post without authorization, and he could not overstep his authority. In addition, there was a general in front of him who was leading the battlefield, so it was not his turn. This is a relatively leisurely guard.

He Jin was thinking about his Xiao Jiujiu. Liu Hong's previous attitude was ambiguous, but when he mentioned Yuan Shao, his expression changed instantly.

He must not fall into this pit that obviously looks like a trap.

As for why Yuan Shao received special treatment from Liu Hong, He Jin could only attribute it to his great victory as the general of Liao.

He Jin did not come from a poor background and had attended private schools for several years, but he finally decided to return to his old career of slaughtering pigs and selling them. In such an environment, it is completely nonsense to expect him to have a high level of political consciousness. The so-called military talent is not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for this battle, He Jin's ability would not have been revealed so early. He would simply provide logistics work for the front troops in the rear. However, this kind of work was already a lot of effort for He Jin, and he was full of raw materials. It has also been worn away a lot.

But he himself was the type who was very ambitious and only cared about the small profits in front of him. Huangfu Song's kind words and advice had more of a counterproductive effect.

"This Huangfu Song has no military ability, but he is able to achieve such a status today. It is not all because of me as a general. Without recommendation, how could he be in charge of an army today and attack the Yellow Turbans? Such a good opportunity to make achievements, but he gave me What a mess!" He Jin complained as he walked on the road.

At first, he thought highly of Huangfu Song. He felt that his uncle Huangfu Gui was a famous general of the Han Dynasty and had great reputation in Bingliang and Liangzhou. Huangfu Song, who came from the Huangfu family, should have some military proficiency. In addition, he had already asked him all the questions. If you get closer, He Jin will naturally praise him without sparing any effort.

He never thought that Huangfu Song was such a loser. He was just a ragtag group of yellow scarf bandits. When they gathered together, they could defeat the elite regular troops of the Han Dynasty led by them. He Jin was very angry. If it weren't for Huangfu Song, how would he be where he is now? It's so heart-wrenching.

"General!" He Jin was about to go to the east gate to express his condolences and see how the situation was going when a shout suddenly came from behind him.

He turned his head when he heard the sound, but saw General Hu Ben Zhonglang calling him.

He also heard a lot about Yuan Shu, the tiger warrior general. It can be said that in Luoyang City, except for Yuan Shao, basically all the news circulating in the market belongs to this Yuan family's direct son, Yuan Jiujiu, the fierce ghost on the road. Of course, He Jin preferred to deal with Yuan Shao, and had little communication with Yuan Shu. On weekdays, they were just acquaintances who nodded when they met.

Yuan Shu was wearing armor, and he had perfectly inherited Yuan Feng's handsome face, so he looked quite dignified.

I saw Yuan Shu waving his hand and trotting over with a smile on his face. The armor on his body made the sound of gold and iron clashing as he ran.

"General, where do you want to go?"

He Jin put away his arrogance and said calmly: "Let's go to the east gate. The yellow scarf ants and thieves are raging at the time, and there are many dangers at the city gate. As a general, I should share the same hatred with all the officers and soldiers to fight against the thieves. This is what Yuan Zhonglang will do?" "

Yuan Shu was even more overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I heard that the Yellow Turbans are attacking Luoyang. Although I am the general of the Tiger Guard, and although I have the position of guarding your majesty, your majesty still has the Yulin Army to protect you. I plan to leave." Come and join the general to guard the east gate of Luoyang so that the yellow turban ant thief never comes back!"

He Jin raised his head and looked behind Yuan Shu. It was empty except for a tall and strong man who obviously looked different from ordinary people. He recalled that the edict just issued by His Majesty had probably not reached the Huben camp yet, so he nodded immediately and said .

"General Zhonglang has this heart, and I am very pleased. I went to His Majesty's palace before and ordered him to send the Huben camp and the two battalions of the Northern Army to the east gate to defend against the enemy. I am afraid that the order is still on the way. , I never thought that General Zhonglang would volunteer, and after this battle is over, I will definitely report to Your Majesty all the feats of General Yuan Zhonglang!"

Yuan Shu couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and waved his hands to refuse: "This is due to the prestige of the general. It is the general who can win military merits!"

He Jin suddenly felt that this Yuan Shu seemed to be a little different from the rumors. At least his attitude towards him was kind, unlike the so-called rumors of a tough guy on the road, who was arrogant and domineering.

As a general, he consciously had the right to supervise this kind of behavior. If it hadn't come from the Yuan family in Runan, and his brother was the current Jiuqing Weiwei, he would have wanted to deal with Yuan Shu, and punish him so that Luoyang would not be able to do so. This phenomenon occurs again.

At this troubled time, he took the kindness Yuan Shu sent to his door as being instigated by Yuan Shao.

After all, Yuan Shao had given him a clear answer before.

No matter what, Yuan Shao will always guard behind him and act as the strongest backing.

No, when he encountered difficulties, he directly sent Huben Zhonglang and Yuan Shu to his door.

As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates, He Jin immediately patted Yuan Shu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. Now that this matter is over, I will go to the Weiwei Mansion with you to meet Yuan Weiwei."

Yuan Shu was confused and looked blankly at He Jin who suddenly got involved with Yuan Shao. He thought He Jin was planning to win over the Yuan family. Naturally, he couldn't miss the current guard Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu really wanted He Jin to give up this idea. However, at the moment, he is just a tiger general. Compared with Yuan Shao, one of the Nine Qings, he is as different as clouds and mud.If not, Yuan Shu would not have chosen to gain fame during this war-torn period, because the mountain of Yuan Shao was too heavy on his head, and how could he overtake in a corner?

The two looked very close to each other and walked hand in hand, while Ji Ling behind them remained silent.

Surrounded by many belatedly arriving soldiers, He Jin came to the east gate wall again.

Looking at the scene in front of him, He Jin could only hold back the vomiting in his heart.

There were mud and tiles everywhere, and the unkempt soldiers were not afraid of the scene in front of them. The overwhelming yellow scarf bandits seemed to be killing them endlessly. Even the Han soldiers who relied on the advantages of the city wall had experienced this more than once. In life and death, these yellow scarf thieves were all fierce and fearless. Even Huangfu Song was frightened when he saw this situation.

The ability of the Yellow Turbans in this wave of training is really amazing. In the face of such a charge, they actually just rely on human lives to pile up. The number of 20 is enough to carry out a continuous attack. In this desperate attack method , the Han soldiers were already exhausted mentally and physically.

There was blood and flesh flying everywhere, the blood-soaked clothes were wrapped in layers of dried blood stains, and there were so many broken arms and limbs that they were too numerous to count. No one knew how terrifying this battle was. The Han army was wailing in pain on the city wall, and the Yellow Turbans under the city wall were also struggling to death, crawling everywhere among the dead. Everywhere they looked were the corpses of their companions, and most of them had hematomas from being smashed.

The losses of the Yellow Turban Army have reached 3 people. On the faces covered with blood, desperate wails and fear surged into their hearts, and the painful moans from time to time were constantly destroying the minds of the remaining Yellow Turban Army.

This war is all about the endurance and morale competition between the two sides.

If Bocai fails, these Yellow Turban troops will disperse in an instant, and they will have no choice but to fight again.

If the Han army fails, their morale will suddenly disappear and the city will fall. Such news will spread all over the country in an instant, causing all other Han armies to fall into despair.

Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, cannot fall under any circumstances. This is the final bottom line.

He Jin didn't expect that the situation in front of him had reached this level. At the same time, he looked at the houses on the side and suddenly became angry again. With a face full of anger, he immediately yelled loudly: "Who did this!"

Many soldiers who were scolded by this voice couldn't help but tremble, and then they were immersed in the battle against the Yellow Turbans.

Seeing this situation, Huangfu Song could only bite the bullet and said: "I made all the soldiers do it!"

He Jin was pacing back and forth in anger. He was extremely dissatisfied with Huangfu Song before, but now he had the perfect outlet to vent his anger. He sighed several times and pointed at Huangfu Song.

"You, you, haven't you learned a lesson from Yingchuan's mistakes? When I met His Majesty just now, I was very dissatisfied with you. If I hadn't tried my best to excuse you, I'm afraid you would have been in jail by now. Yeah." He Jin looked at Huangfu Song who looked fearless, and anger suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Thank you, General!"

He Jin's eyes widened with a fierce look on his face, and then he shook his head helplessly and said: "What you did today, even if the Yellow Turbans were defeated by this general, His Majesty will never forgive you. This is Luoyang. At the feet of the Emperor, how dare you do such a thing, not even I can save you!"

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, then he said with a carefree smile: "Don't worry, General. Since I did this, I had already thought of such a result. If not, I am afraid that the Yellow Turbans would have already attacked the city wall and the east gate would be lost." Well, with my own death, I can achieve this merit, and I will die without regrets!"

He Jin was impressed by Huangfu Song's wanton and free attitude. As a butcher, he always admired those high-ranking scholars. Now that he saw Huangfu Song's generous act of dying, he was heartbroken. The regret is even more continuous.

However, what Huangfu Song did has already been impeached by the so-called princes and ministers. His Majesty was furious at this time. In addition, the Yellow Turbans attacked Luoyang. Under the series of blows, His Majesty was not happy even if he wanted to be happy. stand up.

Huangfu Song's death has been decided.

"General Yuan Zhonglang, you personally lead the Huben battalion soldiers to guard the city wall!" He Jin gave the order.

Yuan Shu, who followed closely behind, handed over and immediately led many soldiers from the Huben camp to rush to the city wall.

Of course, they who had basically never been on the battlefield were shocked into a cold sweat when they saw the scene in front of them. Everywhere they saw were broken walls and ruins.

Immediately afterwards, He Jin spoke again and continued to issue instructions: "Your second battalion of the Northern Army will guard the west side of the east gate!"

"promise!"

Wuyangyang's soldiers were in full formation and waiting.

With the support of these reinforcements, the number of Han troops has reached [-].
