"Does the former general have anything to say?”
Huangfu Song asked in a low voice, his gaze on Dong Zhuo becoming sharper!
There were other generals of the Western Expedition Army in the tent, but he didn't give Dong Zhuo any face. Although he didn't yell at him, he was even more ruthless!
The Western Expedition Army was the army of the Great Han Dynasty. The military discipline was clear. It was absolutely not allowed to bully the commoners or rape women. However, now that the court's discipline had been corrupted, many military disciplines were useless!
It wasn't just the Xi Liang Army that was acting this way. The other armies of the thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty weren't doing any better either. It was just that they weren't as brazen as the Xi Liang Army!
Even Huangfu Song's army could not be completely clear!
The 60,000-strong Western Expedition Army was divided into two parts. One part was the Western Liang Army under Dong Zhuo. They were the real Western Liang Border Army and the soldiers recruited by Dong Zhuo in Western Liang. Most of them were Western Liang men. They grew up in battles and were more wild and unruly!
They had experienced the battle to suppress the Qiang Tribe and the Yellow Turban uprising. They were brave and good at fighting. Only the strong could convince them. Even the orders of the imperial court were nothing in their eyes!
As a result, military discipline had become a huge problem. Even though the army under Meng Qian was known for its strictness, they were only absolutely obedient during battle!
After the battle, Meng Qian would not be too harsh on them, or else they would easily lose the hearts of the people! After all, the soldiers followed him to survive and obtain more benefits, not slaves!
Meng Qian needed to make sure that their efforts were rewarded!
Apart from Meng Qian's subordinates, the discipline of the other Western Liang soldiers was even worse. It was common for them to rob the people of their wealth!
After all, in their eyes, they were people who had their heads on their belts. What else did they care about? Why didn't he seize the time to enjoy it?
Therefore, the Western Liang Army was definitely a troublesome army, especially when compared to Huangfu Song's army!
Huangfu Song's 30,000-strong army was the Imperial Army, the army that guarded Luoyang and Chang 'an. The generals were all descendants of the Generals, descendants of famous families!
Most of the soldiers were Si Li people! Since they came from the capital, they were naturally superior to others. Their psychological advantage made them disdained to do things like robbing some small money!
Moreover, the benefits of the Imperial Army were too good. They received wages during training, subsidies during war, and rewards from the Imperial Court!
As a result, they did not care about the small amount of money in the hands of the common people at all, and very few people did anything to plunder the wealth of the common people!
Thus, the Imperial Army Army could be considered the most disciplined army in the Thirteen Prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty!
It was a pity that no one cared about the armies of the other prefectures. The Western Liang Army did not have the same benefits as the Imperial Army, so they could only rely on themselves!
In fact, most of the silver in the imperial court was only brought in and not taken out. The current emperor was even more famous for accumulating wealth!
The buying and selling of official titles had almost reached the point of brazenness. Asking the imperial court to pay for the army? Haha!
The Xi Liang Army, a border army that was neither loved nor pampered by their grandfather, did not receive much silver from the imperial court every year!
Therefore, most of the Western Liang army's military resources came from the spoils of war. The more people they killed, the more they earned!
This made the Western Liang army even more ferocious. It was not only against the enemy, but also against the internal forces. It was common for them to rob the people of their wealth!
In comparison, the Western Liang Army was simply scum in the eyes of the Imperial Army. In addition, Huangfu Song had the intention to suppress Dong Zhuo, which was why today's incident had happened!
Facing Huangfu Song's interrogation, Dong Zhuo felt aggrieved! The old man's face was expressionless. His eyes darkened slightly, and the atmosphere in the tent froze in an instant!
Everyone's breathing was heavy. They knew that Dong Zhuo came from the border of Western Liang and had a bad temper. It was hard to guarantee that he would not quarrel with Huangfu Song!
However, that was also dependent on the person. Dong Zhuo was definitely not someone who was swayed by emotions to be able to get to such a high position!
Huangfu Song was the commander of the army. If Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song got into an argument, even if they were reasonable, it would become unreasonable! It was even more disadvantageous to Dong Zhuo. Moreover, the Xi Liang Army was in the wrong in this matter!
In the end, Dong Zhuo lowered his head slightly and cupped his fists at Huangfu Song."Marshal, this general will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. In the future, I will definitely discipline my subordinates strictly. This kind of thing will never happen again!”
"Farewell!"
Dong Zhuo was annoyed by Huangfu Song's words and didn't want to stay in the tent any longer. He snorted coldly and left the tent with his men without giving Huangfu Song any face.
Huangfu Song watched Dong Zhuo leave calmly. The discipline of the Western Liang Army was just a small matter. Apart from the Luoyang Army that was slightly better, the rest of the Great Han's 13 Prefectures were the same!
The imperial court did not care about such matters at all. They only cared about whether the rebel army could be pacified. As for the lives of those low-level commoners, who cared?
Huangfu Song was just taking this opportunity to teach Dong Zhuo a lesson. Unexpectedly, the hot-tempered Dong Heizi did not fall for it!
However, if Dong Zhuo really started a fight in the commander's tent, then Huangfu Song would punish him for disobeying orders!
He could at least beat him up a few times, but since he didn't fall for it, Huangfu Song didn't care too much. If Dong Zhuo was really so easy to deal with, then he wouldn't be Dong Hei Zi!
However, Huangfu Song's subordinates did not think so. A general in white armor stood up and said,"Commander, this Dong Zhuo is too arrogant!”
"He's relying on the powerful combat strength of the Western Liang army to look down on you. If this continues, the dignity of the imperial court will be a joke to him!”
"Marshal, we have to be on guard!”Sun Jian said in a low voice as he looked at Huangfu Song with a determined gaze.
He was originally a middle-level official in Jingzhou and had always been brave. This time, he was transferred to Huangfu Song's army and was appreciated by Huangfu Song. He did not have a good impression of Dong Zhuo!
When Huangfu Song heard this, he glanced at him and shook his head indifferently."Dong Zhuo is arrogant and despotic, but he doesn't dare to look down on the Imperial Court!”
"Besides, the Western Liang army is unruly, but we still have to rely on the strength of the Western Liang army if we want to quell the rebellion. We can't oppress Dong Zhuo too much!”
Huangfu Song had clearly seen through everything. The current situation could not be without the Western Liang army. Although the Imperial Army under his command was elite, their combat strength could not compare to the Western Liang army, which was a border army that fought against foreign races in the desolate land all year round!
Therefore, even if he wanted to suppress Dong Zhuo, he couldn't do it for the time being! As long as the Xi Liang Rebellion was not settled, Dong Zhuo could not be killed!
However, he still underestimated Dong Zhuo's wild ambition. He wondered if he would regret not listening to Sun Jian's suggestion today!
On the other side, Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger along the way. His gloomy face darkened even more until he walked into his commander's tent. Then, he said angrily,"Old man Huangfu, you're going too far!" "Does the former general have anything to say?”
Huangfu Song asked in a low voice, his gaze on Dong Zhuo becoming sharper!
