"Ding! [Mission: Suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou.]”
"Ding! This is a limited mission."
" Mission Reward: Complete it within 60 days and receive a medium diamond lottery draw. If completed within 100 days, you will receive a high-grade Gold lottery draw. If completed within 150 days, you will receive a low-grade Gold lottery draw. Mission failed after 150 days.”
The system sent three notifications to his mind.
"There's a time limit?"
Liu Bian was slightly surprised.
Previously, it was a two-way mission. Now, there was a time limit. The missions issued by the system were really diverse.
However, the mission also coincided with his current situation.
Thus, the main goal was set: First pacify Liangzhou!
Liu Bian looked at Huangfu Song and said sincerely,"General is the only one who can lead this expedition. I'll entrust Liangzhou to you.”
The old general was old and should have been enjoying his life, but now he had to muster up his spirit to lead the army for the Imperium and squeeze out the last bit of his energy.
It could be foreseen that regardless of victory or defeat, when Huangfu Song returned to the court, he would not have the strength to struggle anymore, even if he was not completely exhausted.
For an old man who had dedicated his life to the Imperium, it was unfair, even cruel.
But unfortunately, there was indeed no one in the court to be used.
Although the younger generation had shown their talents, they lacked prestige and experience, so they were temporarily unable to take on important roles.
Only an old official like Huangfu Song was enough to make people feel at ease.
"This subject will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!”
Huangfu Song immediately accepted the order solemnly.
He could clearly see what it meant to lead the army on this expedition, but for the sake of the empire and the Han Dynasty, he would not hesitate at all.
Liu Bian was immediately filled with respect. Please accept my bow!"
The reason why the Eastern Han Empire was struggling to survive in such a terrible situation was because of these loyal and fearless ministers.
Perhaps in the eyes of future generations, they were not the most dazzling figures of that era. In fact, they were even reduced to insignificant green leaf characters in the works of some online writers.
But at least in Liu Bian's heart, a loyal subject like Huangfu Song was the most worthy of respect!
The next day, the Imperial Palace issued a military order.
General Huangfu Song and Liangzhou governor, led 60,000 troops into Liangzhou.
Wei Wei Zhang Wen, who also had experience in quelling rebellions in Liangzhou, was appointed as the Left General and served as the deputy general of the army.
Other than the two Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, there were also four West Garden Army Commanders.
The right lieutenant Huangfu Jianshou, the left lieutenant Huangfu Li, the lower lieutenant Xu Rong, and the commander Duan Simmer.
The first two were descendants of the Huangfu clan, so the old general was quite familiar with them.
The latter two had once followed Dong Zhuo and shocked Liangzhou. They were very familiar with the local environment and their effects were self-evident.
They were here to assist Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen, and to verify the value of the West Garden Army.
In addition, the emperor also appointed Sun Jian, a counselor, as a Qiang Guard Colonel, and Sun Rui, a famous official of Fufeng Prefecture, as an Eagle Harrier Duwei. They each led a branch to Liangzhou to echo the main force of the government army.
In addition, Zhang Liao, the commander of the cavalry, led 1,000 Yulin cavalry to accompany him.
Letting Zhang Liao go out to battle was mainly to let him gain some experience.
After all, the so-called famous generals, other than their own talent, also had to have the opportunity to make their talent come true.
If Zhang Liao was allowed to remain in the Imperial Capital as the commander of the Imperial Cavalry, there would probably be no more Zhang Babai who could shake Xiaoyao Jin.
Moreover, if everything went smoothly, he could even gain a few more military merits, which could pave the way for his future promotions.
After the 60,000 soldiers left, Liu Bian's trusted military forces were greatly reduced.
Fortunately, Cao Cao was leading a few other West Garden officers to strengthen their army. As long as they could survive this, their days would soon be better.
……
Liangzhou.
"We won! We won!"
A team of knights shouted loudly.
Looking at their opponent who was fleeing in a sorry state, they felt an indescribable joy in their hearts.
At the front of the knights, a valiant young man reined in his horse and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd.
"Young General is brave and unparalleled. The enemy can only flee!”
"Now that we have a strong army, we have the strength to annex the other two tribes!”
"Young General is mighty!"
……
The knights were excited about the terrifying combat strength displayed by the heroic young man. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, the young general is on our side!
"Hahaha, Han Sui is just so-so!”
The young man threw the spear in his hand to his follower and took out a water bottle beside the saddle to drink to his heart's content.
In the battle just now, the tip of the spear that flickered with a faint cold light had absorbed an unknown amount of enemy blood.
A few hundred meters away, a group of knights rode their horses and stood side by side.
The leader was a burly man who looked quite similar to the valiant youth.
This person was one of the three leaders of the Western Liang rebel army.
The horses in the Wei Valley galloped.
"Meng Qi's bravery far exceeds my expectations. As an old man, I'm ashamed of my inferiority.”
Ma Teng chuckled, his eyes full of pride.
His son, Ma Chao, was not even fifteen years old, but he was already a mess.
If he could grow, his future would be limitless!
"Report!"
At this moment, a fast horse appeared from afar.
"Leader!" the scout shouted. Emergency military report! Rumor had it that the Emperor of Luo Du had appointed Huangfu Song as his commander and was leading his army to attack Liangzhou!”
