To be honest, Huangfu Jixun was reluctant when he learned that he was going to march south again, or maybe he didn't want to go south at all.

Before, he suffered a big loss in Qianzhou. Although he denied it in every possible way and plundered money and food from Qianzhou to bribe officials, he was restored to his post and became the commander of his divine guards. He stayed in Jinling and spent a lot of time drinking and drinking.

happy.

This time he learned that he had another chance to lead the army. He shook his head helplessly, looking at the luxurious and splendid house, the beautiful wife and concubines, and couldn't help but sigh: "Having a father with a huge reputation is really unpredictable."

Who is Huangfu Hui? Most people probably don't know it, but this man is the master of changing dynasties. He single-handedly made a generation of heroes pass away.

Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, was a hero of his generation. He was the hero of Ouyang Xiu's famous saying in the textbook, "Working hard can rejuvenate a country, but leisure can lead to death." Huangfu Hui was the one who tricked him into death.

It is said that Huangfu Hui was a brave and rogue man. One day, he was gambling with other soldiers in the army at night. He lost the bet and had no money.

Most people like this would either act rogue or borrow money, but Huangfuhui followed the tradition of five generations of soldiers. If he had no money, he would rebel.

His logic is very clear. When all the people who owe money die, or rob others, won't there be money?

At that time, Zhuangzong favored actors and actresses, treated his soldiers harshly, and the court was corrupt. Huangfu Hui's words simply echoed the aspirations of the soldiers, and they all responded in droves.

Of course, this is related to the geographical boundary where Huangfuhui is located - Weizhou, where Wei Boya's army is located. I won't go into details. Anyway, this remnant force of Anshi has the gene of rebellion in its bones. Although Zhu Wen massacred Wei Boya's soldiers,

But tradition cannot be changed and remains.

Upon hearing of the rebellion, these Wei Bo soldiers responded in groups. Under the leadership of Huangfu Hui, Wei Bo soldiers hijacked the general Yang Renzhu, persuaded him to surrender, and led the team as the leader.

If people don't obey, kill them.

He also threatened a small school and if he didn't comply, he would be killed again.

Then he carried the two heads to see the general Zhao Zaili. Zhao Zaili heard that there was a mutiny and wanted to climb the wall to escape. Huangfuhui pulled him down from the wall by his feet, and then put a knife on Zhao Zaili's neck.

Maybe the head was too scary, so Zhao Zaili obeyed...

Then they marched into Yedu and massacred and plundered them wantonly.

Huangfuhui met a common man and asked for his surname. The answer was Guo.

Kill him and say: I just want to destroy the country.

I met another household and asked for their last name. The answer was Wan.

Then he killed them and said, "I'll kill ten thousand families. That's enough."

Later, Zhuangzong sent Li Siyuan to lead troops to attack the rebellion. Unexpectedly, the expeditionary army rebelled and joined forces with the rebels to proclaim Li Siyuan as emperor. Later, Li Siyuan sent troops to counterattack the capital. Tang Zhuangzong was shot dead by his mutinous subordinates on the way out.

This series of rebellions were all caused by a soldier, Huangfu Hui, who had no money in gambling and was a swindler.

Stay away from gambling…

After the Khitan people entered the Central Plains, Huangfu Hui went south to defect to the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was captured by Zhao Kuangyin again. He was covered in wounds and died because his injuries worsened and he refused to be treated. This was regarded as his loyalty.

Therefore, although Huangfu Jixun was young and had no military exploits, he could become a general just by relying on his family background. He had excellent assets, a famous garden, and was ranked first in Jinling.

After loyal ministers and famous generals, Huangfu Jixun's connections can be seen.

"Mr. Lang, war is dangerous, so be careful!" The beautiful concubine twisted her waist and said softly.

"It's just a puppet country, what does it matter?" Huangfu Jixun said disdainfully: "I just can't bear to leave you a beauty. Instead of fighting on the battlefield, it is better to enjoy the happiness at home."

Later, Huangfu Jixun went to the palace and met the young emperor.

The emperor is very young, so he is also very passionate. He has a good impression of such loyal ministers. After all, in this era, loyal ministers of warriors are very luxurious. The entire battle of Jiangbei was really completed by Liu Renfan, Huangfu Hui, and Yao Fengsan.

people.

"General, are you sure about this trip?" After talking for a few words about his father's past achievements, Li Yu looked at his face in his thirties, still feeling a little uneasy, and asked softly.

After all, the older you get in combat experience, the more powerful you become. There are still too few geniuses like Huo Qubing, who is not only a general, but also a commander.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Huangfu Jixun raised his head, his eyes full of confidence, and said loudly: "If we deal with the Central Plains Forbidden Army, the general will still have some difficulties. After all, he is the best in the world, but Lingnan, haha!"

"It's not the general's boast. It doesn't take seven days to recover Zhangquan, go straight to Guangzhou, and win Lingnan for Your Majesty."

"Good!" Li Yu admired such confidence and self-awareness. He praised: "The general is so courageous, it is really exciting!"

"But, General, you lost ten feet in Qianzhou before!" On the side, Duke Xu couldn't stand it and said sarcastically.

"Hmph!" Huangfu Jixun was not ashamed, but rather said with dissatisfaction: "Not to mention that the Qianzhou army general colluded inside and outside and leaked secrets to let the enemy know himself and the enemy. Let's talk about Pan Chongche, this person is the number one in Lingnan.

As a general, even if my father comes back to life, I'm afraid he can only fight in peace."

"I feel ashamed to say that I am ashamed to be called a general. Your Majesty, please choose another talented person."

As he spoke, Huangfu Jixun squeezed out a few tears, knelt down, and spoke earnestly.

"Why did the general say this?" Li Yu glanced at Xu You, and then said with a smile: "There is no need to doubt the general's ability. Everyone in the court is still full of confidence in this."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Huangfu Jixun said with great emotion.

To be honest, in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, since the first battle in Jiangbei, almost all those who could fight were either dead or surrendered, which led to the decline of the stars of the generals in the court. In desperation, Li Yu was forced to use Lin Renzhao and other surrendered generals.

Unless absolutely necessary, no matter how capable they are, who would surrender a general?

Duke Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Who would use these defeated generals if they had no choice? Loyal generals are suitable for defending the city, not fighting.

The emperor didn't know, didn't he know it yet? This guy ran away with his money and bribed many ministers, so that the big thing was reduced to a trivial matter. His loyalty was not certain, but his ability was very average.

"When the general goes out on an expedition, he will be given the title of envoy at Zhangquan, and he will command 20,000 divine guardsmen. He will set out in three days."

"The last general will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." Huangfu Jixun said excitedly.

Immediately, with the emperor's imperial edict, the first thing Huangfu Jixun did was to go to the treasury to collect the money and food for the army to go south. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses move, the food and grass go first.

People who don't know anything praise him for knowing how to fight.

In order to better fight the battle, he sent people to build a comfortable and luxurious carriage, carefully selected many elite men as his bodyguards, and chose a thousand-mile horse as his mount.
