The night was deep, and the courtyard was quiet.

A gentle breeze blows, and the willows in the corner of the backyard wall float gently.

The young leaves that had just grown on the branch swayed in the wind, containing infinite life, as if they couldn't wait to grow.

Two lanterns swayed left and right in the breeze, and the dim light illuminated the bluestone path to the study.

With a "crunch" sound, a young man in a brocade robe walked briskly through the bluestone road, pushed the door and walked into the study.

"All gone? What did Gongwei say when he went out? ”

The light was blown by the breeze when the door was opened, and Huangfu Song, who was sitting next to the desk, asked softly while stretching out his hand to block the oil lamp.

The brocade-robed man closed the door casually, walked lightly to the left side of the desk and sat down, and said respectfully: "Father is like a god, and when my uncle left, he privately said to the child that Dong Cheng and others have a big plan, let my father act carefully, and must not implicate the whole family." ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed on Huangfu Song's slightly tired cheeks, and after a little hesitation, Gu Zi bowed slightly, and his suspicious eyes were relieved.

Casually took the teacup handed by Huangfu Li (that is, the man in the brocade robe), Huangfu Song took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then put down the teacup, habitually brushing his long gray beard, squinting his eyes slightly, and his eyebrows were also white and sparse drooping slightly, obviously thinking about something.

Huangfu Li raised his head and drank a cup of warm tea, thinking that his father (actually his uncle) would say something, but he didn't think that his father was silent in thought. It made him very angry. To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with the way the Huangfu family had done things and the family situation in the past two years, and he also had a lot of complaints about Huangfu Song in private.

In the eyes of Huangfu Li. Now Li Dao, Li Ru, Li Xuan and others who are active in the court are a group of opportunistic nouveau riche, snobbish and petty people, and these people are not worth exposing themselves to in front of the Huangfu family. And the hussar general Li Li, who is now in full swing, is also the same, stealing Dong Zhuo's remaining shadow at the age of a weak crown, and then seizing the control of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop after Dong Zhuo's assassination, so that he has today's prominent position.

And this qiē began with the marriage of the Li and Dong families. Back then, Li Li came to prominence. At best, Wu Wei Taishou, who lives in a corner of Liangzhou, happened to deliberately climb up to Miss Dong when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, but Li Li himself pretended to be reluctant and hypocritical. Then. Li Li not only married Dong Zhuo's most favored and gentle and beautiful youngest daughter Dong Wan by making three appointments, but also took the opportunity to marry two wives and three concubines, and then transformed. Become a hot and powerful general in the Xiliang Army.

Dong Zhuo was then assassinated. Wang Yun seized Chang'an and controlled the temple, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and other generals supported their own troops, while Wuwei Li Li took advantage of the weakness to regain the remnants of Dong Zhuo's remnants in one fell swoop, Dong Yue, Dong Huang and other Dong clans were almost completely dependent on Li Li's command, and Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding and other marginal forces also successively surrendered to Li Li, making Li Li's Wuwei army grow rapidly. Then he has the strength to compete with veteran generals such as Li Dao and Guo Yan.

It turns out that the rebellion in Chang'an. In one fell swoop, he subverted the once invincible hegemony of Dong Zhuo, destroyed the most influential and powerful group of old ministers among the three dynasties, and dealt a heavy blow to a large number of old generals of Xiliang. And Wuwei Li Li is sitting on the fishing profits, as if he is the biggest winner in the Chang'an Rebellion, winning a lot of money, winning the control of the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop, and truly becoming the second Xiliang overlord after Dong Zhuo. Li Li, who won the military power of the Xiliang Army, reorganized the Xiliang Army, eliminated dissidents, completely replaced the old generals of Xiliang with the generals under the command of the Wuwei Army, and then waved his army to pacify Yongliang Erzhou, thus consolidating his own commanderial position.

In the following two years, the whole territory of Xiliang implemented the strategy of recuperation and recuperation, protected the territory and the people, vigorously developed agriculture, persuaded farmers to teach mulberry, introduced merchants to Chang'an, encouraged caravans to go to the Western Regions to circulate goods, and opened up the trade routes of the Western Regions. In the past two years, the predicament of the entire Xiliang region has been substantially improved, and most of the people can be self-sufficient, and it is not a problem to fill their stomachs. For this reason, the name of General Wei Li Li resounded throughout the land of Xiliang and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, greatly consolidating Li Li's dominance in Xiliang.

In fact, in the eyes of the Huangfu family, the so-called strategy of recuperation and recuperation implemented by Li Li is nothing more than a cover-up move to buy people's hearts, in fact, the reason why Li Li did this is entirely to use two years to fully digest the 300,000 Xiliang troops obtained from the merger, so that they can completely become a strong force loyal to him. At this point, many people may not know the essence of the matter clearly, but the Huangfu family, as the founder of the Xiliang Army, sees this qiē clearly and clearly.

Yes, you are not mistaken, the Huangfu family is one of the three founders of the Xiliang Army, to be precise, in fact, Huangfu Song is the most qualified and prestigious person to take charge of the Xiliang Army. The founder of the Western Liang Army is "Liangzhou Sanming", which are: Huangfu Gui, the word Weiming; Zhang Huan, the word is clear; Duan Cheng, the word Jiming. Although these three famous Liangzhou Sanming, although they had political differences with each other, they all fought all their lives to pacify the Qiang Rebellion, thus laying the foundation of the Western Liang Army. And Huangfu rule is Huangfu Song's uncle, which laid a solid foundation for Huangfu Song to take charge of the Xiliang Army to quell the rebellion of the kingdom, but it is a pity that the military power of the Xiliang Army was finally stolen by Dong Zhuo, thus achieving the glorious era of Dong Zhuo's power leaning towards the government and the opposition.

Because of this, as early as when Emperor Ling died, when the world was in chaos, Emperor Ling issued an order when he was in danger, ordering Dong Zhuo to hand over the Xiliang Army to the commander of Huangfu Song, but Dong Zhuo refused to obey the edict. At that time, Huangfu Li once advised Huangfu Song and said: "This dynasty is out of power, the world is hanging, and those who can be safe and stable are only adults and Dong Zhuoer." It's a pity that Huangfu Song didn't think Dong Zhuo had bad intentions at that time, so he didn't accept it.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo led the troops to occupy Luoyang, and at the right time Huangfu Song led 30,000 troops to garrison Fufeng County. Huangfu Song said: "Although Dong Zhuo is guilty of disobeying orders, I am also responsible. It's better to play it in a bright and bright way, and let the court deal with this matter. At the same time, Dong Zhuo summoned Huangfu Song as the captain of the city gate, wanting to find an opportunity to kill him. Huangfu Song responded to the call, and Changshi Liang Yan persuaded him to raise troops to resist Dong Zhuo, echoing Yuan Shao. Huangfu Song didn't listen, so he led the troops back to Luoyang, and since then all the Xiliang army has fallen into the hands of Dong Zhuo, making Dong Zhuo no longer have scruples, and become more and more unscrupulous and reckless.

This is the beginning and end of Dong Zhuo's occupation of the Xiliang Army in the past. Huangfu Song missed the Xiliang Army because of a thought, so that Dong Zhuo became a swordman, and he was reduced to fish and meat.

During the Chang'an Rebellion, Wang Yun ordered Huangfu Song to be the general of the expedition to the west, responsible for slaughtering Dong Zhuo's entire clan and the rest of the evils, but Huangfu Song did not really carry it out, because most of Dong Zhuo's family members had been rescued. Subsequently, someone recommended to Wang Yun that Huang Fu Song should lead Dong Zhuo's old department, so the world can be determined, but unfortunately Wang Yun thought that Huang Fu Song let Dong Zhuo's family go without permission, and he was resentful of him, so he did not accept advice. Therefore, Huangfu Song once again lost the opportunity to lead the Xiliang army, so that he never had the opportunity to take charge of the Xiliang army again.

In fact, Wang Yun's refusal to allow Huangfu Song to take command of Dong Zhuo's old ministry was a fatal mistake, which directly led to the shattering of his long-cherished wish to rejuvenate the Han family, so that he finally took his life for it. As everyone knows, most of Dong Zhuo's old troops at that time were generals carried by Huangfu Song, or generals he personally recruited into the Xiliang Army. For example, Li Dao, who is also from Beidi County, was the first to be a primary school under the account of Huangfu Song; Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others are also the same, and Duan Xuan is the grandson of Duan Cheng, and he is a family friend of the Huangfu family. In addition, generals such as Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were all generals under Huangfu Song, but they were just attached to the past as Dong Zhuo took over the Xiliang Army.

Therefore, if Wang Yun had agreed to the advice of his colleagues at that time and let Huangfu Song lead Dong Zhuo's old department, the world would have been a different situation, and perhaps the Zhongxing Han Dynasty would not be an empty word. As a result, Li Li did not lose the opportunity to annex the Xiliang Army at all, and then many things were impossible to talk about.

Huangfu Song missed the opportunity to take over the Xiliang Army three times, which directly created such a chaotic era today. Now, he is dying, approaching twilight, no longer has the ambition of the past, and has no mind to change the court, and he is even more powerless to deal with the chaotic situation in the world. The Xiliang Army has undergone repeated changes in the hands of Li Li, and many old generals of Xiliang have passed away or lost their military power, and now all the generals in charge of the army have been replaced by Li Li's cronies and generals, and the Xiliang Army is like an iron bucket and unbreakable.

Looking back at the twilight, the haze is heavy, and the power is like smoke.

In just a few years, the Xiliang Army has developed to the current situation, and the Xiliang Army in the past has long been a matter of fact, and the old scene is not there. Seeing that the Han family is dying day by day, and the royal family is being humiliated, if the Huangfu family has no feeling about this, it is undoubtedly self-deception. It can only be said that they are now unable to regret it, except for sighing and lamenting, they have nothing to do, and they have more than enough to do.

In this regard, Huangfu Song can face it calmly, because for a person like him, who is over the age of six, he has long been accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of the world, and knows that the change of dynasties is the trend of the times, and it cannot be changed by manpower. But for Huangfu Li, who has repeatedly persuaded Huangfu Song to set things right, but to no avail, the situation in front of him is unacceptable to him, and he is tormented in his heart, and often sighs: "I regret not being at the beginning!" ”

As the night deepened, a burst of cold invisibly hit the study, causing Huangfu Song to retract his collar and cover the corners of his mouth and cough lightly. And these few light coughs also made him quietly come back to his senses, throw away the past like smoke, and return to reality.

Drinking the hot tea handed by Huangfu Li again, Huangfu Song smiled in a slow tone: "When people are old, they always can't help but recall the things of the past, and they often sit for most of the day, and there are always countless people and things wandering in their minds. It seems that the time for my father is short, and I can't see you two brothers making contributions! ”

"The father must not say this, the child will feel uncomfortable when he hears it." As he spoke, Huangfu Li turned his head and raised his sleeves to brush away the mist from the corners of his eyes.
