Chapter 194 (1/2)
Luoyang.
Huangfusong, dressed in his usual clothes, looked at the books of war with great interest in his home room, looking leisurely and contented. Although huangfusong was a general and a famous general, he didn't really like fighting because it was not his hobby, it was just a job. Who would let him be a general.
Huang Fu song suddenly put down his military book and sighed: ”I don't know how the war in Northwest China is. Although Zhang Wen is not military, Zhou Shen, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and Yu Qing help each other. Should there be no big mistake?”
At the thought of the war in the northwest, Huang Fu song could not help feeling a little chest tightness, so he put down his book and stood up and wanted to go out for a walk.
”Can you copy today's residence newspaper?”
Huang Fu Song went out of the room and immediately asked the servant.
Dibao was founded in the early Western Han Dynasty, and the important affairs of the imperial court were announced on it. However, the princes and ministers respected their identities and could not copy the daibao in person. Therefore, they sent their servants to copy a copy of the Diao Bao and went home.
More than 800 years later, in the Song Dynasty, under the background of extremely prosperous commodity economy, businessmen also made business of Dibao and copied them and sold them to princes and ministers.
”Master, it has been copied down for a long time. Please have a look.”
A servant had already let go of the palace newspaper, but Huang Fu Song seized it and scanned the political affairs of the central government. At the same time, he saw a few familiar words.
”Zhang Wen, a general of chariots and cavalry, went through the Northwest with his generals. Most of the troops under his command were defeated miserably. Only general Dong Zhuo returned all the way. Zhou Shen, the general of Dangkou, fought fiercely with the thieves. Liu Ye, the governor of Tianshui, led his troops to assist in the battle. The victory and defeat were mixed.”
Huang Fu Song frowned. It seemed that the situation of the war in Northwest China was not optimistic, even worse than he had imagined. From this vague residence newspaper, we can see that the Han Army in Northwest China must be at a disadvantage.
Zhou Shen won and lost half of the whole army. What about the rest of them?
Huang Fu Song frowned and fell into meditation.
The next day, morning.
Lingdi sat lazily on his knees and fell in love with Wang Meiren yesterday. Today, he is really lack of energy, but he still wants to go to the imperial court.
Lingdi reluctantly plucked up his spirits, looked at the officials on both sides, and said, ”Dear Sirs, did you copy all the residence papers yesterday?”
All the ministers agreed one after another, while Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sighed slightly: ”Zhang Wen went to war in the northwest. Do you know what the war is like?”
Although the main information was explained in the Di Bao, it was impossible to disclose the number of casualties to the public. Therefore, many princes and ministers only speculated about the defeat, but did not know the specific damage.
Lingdi looked at He Jin, and he immediately realized that his fat body was slowly listed.
”In the northwest war, the Han army lost nearly 30000 people, and the Qiang people lost more than 10000 people. However, taking into account the previous wars, the losses of the Qiang people were basically equal to those of the Han army.”
Said here, he Jin slightly pauses, looked at Huangfu song one eye.
The so-called previous wars were naturally the ones that Huang Fu Song commanded in the northwest. Huang Fu Song, who had a good command of soldiers, had a great victory in Linjing. Now that Zhang Wen was replaced, more than 100000 troops were immediately defeated.
But even so, he Jin did not dare to ask huangfusong to resume his original post on the spot. After all, it was the emperor who replaced huangfusong himself. If he proposed that huangfusong should take office again, would it not be tantamount to beating the emperor's face?
