Early in the morning, Li Qing had just woken up when the Illusion God Guards reported that Huangfu Song's army had arrived.
Obviously, this old general did not know that Guangzong County had been breached by Li Qing. He had rushed over in the starry night, travel-worn.
The 50,000 strong army was in high spirits because of their consecutive victories.
"General Huangfu!" Although his official position was higher than Huangfu Song's, Li Qing still admired this general very much.
"General Li, how have you been?" Huangfu Song stepped forward and said,"Fortunately, General Li was here to protect this place. Otherwise, everything that General Lu Zhi had done would have been in vain."”
From his words, it could be heard that Huangfu Song was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's decision to leave without permission and leave this mess to Li Qing.
Fortunately, Li Chengde was strong. Otherwise, once Ye City was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, their strength would increase again, and they would really become a big problem for the imperial court.
Ye City was a famous city, and its prosperity was comparable to that of Luoyang. There were countless aristocrats and merchants in the city, and the autumn harvest was coming. Once Zhang Jiao occupied it, the situation would change drastically.
In the past, the Yellow Turban army lacked food and clothing, and they didn't even have enough to eat. How could they have the strength to fight to the death with the government army? Once this situation changed, the Yellow Turban army would have a large number of people, and the government army would definitely face a fierce battle.
Boss Cao was not feeling good as he listened to this from the side. What a f * cking mess. It was pure luck. Why didn't he give me a dozen of such luck…
After leading Huangfu Song to the commander's tent, Li Qing didn't stand on ceremony and directly sat down on the main seat. He then said,"General Huangfu, you have had a tough journey. Please take a seat. I have already instructed people to prepare a banquet. We can begin once General Huangfu arrives.”
When Huangfu Song saw that Li Qing had actually sat on the main seat as if no one else was around, he was slightly stunned.
Although this was Li Qing's home ground and the two of them were of equal rank, in the officialdom, seniority had always been emphasized. No matter what, even if it was the mentality of respecting the old and cherishing the young, shouldn't the host seat be taken by himself?
Boss Cao was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, but he immediately understood. His small eyes darted around, and then he looked down, pretending that he did not see anything.
Li Chengde was clearly silently announcing that this was his home ground. He couldn't possibly run over to Huangfu Song and tell him, right? Wouldn't that offend him?
However, Boss Cao was clear about this, but Huangfu Song's personal guards were not. As usual, they began to walk to the two sides of the commander's tent. In their opinion, since Huangfu Song was sitting on the main seat, they naturally had to act as guards.
However, this was Li Qing's home ground, and the Illusion God Guards only listened to Li Qing's orders. The personal guards of both sides immediately drew their swords and glared at each other, and they were in a stalemate.
"How dare you! My family's General Huangfu controls all the troops, why aren't you giving up your seat?”Behind Huangfu Song, a guard pointed at Li Qing and said angrily.
"Impudent!" Hearing this, Mu Guiying shouted,"Who do you think you are? My lord is a former general and has been granted the privilege of keeping the chastity by His Majesty. You, a small bodyguard, dare to roar?”
"Where are the Illusion God Guards? Immediately drag this person out and deal with him according to military law.”
"Here!" Immediately, two Illusion God Guards rushed over.
"Alright, what's the fuss? Get out.”Li Qing waved his hand and said," General Huangfu is a guest. How can you be rude? Guiying, you may leave."”
"Here!"
When Huangfu Song heard this, he suddenly understood and was even more surprised. This Li Qing was already a former general at such a young age. His future was really boundless.
"Greetings, General Li.”Since he knew that Li Qing had been made a former general, Huangfu Song immediately bowed. He was already old, and it wasn't that he was jealous of Li Qing. It was just that everything should be done in an orderly manner.
"General Huangfu is too polite. Please take a seat.”Li Qing quickly said when he saw that the home game had been decided.
"Hurry up and apologize to General Li!" Huangfu Song was not in a hurry to sit down. Instead, he turned his head and coldly berated his personal guard.
"This subordinate deserves to die. I have offended General Li, please forgive me.”When the bodyguard heard that Li Qing was already a former general, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Alright, those who don't know are not guilty. His Majesty ordered me to control all the soldiers in Jizhou, so I naturally have to follow His Majesty's orders.”Li Qing stood up and led Huangfu Song and Boss Cao to their seats.
At this time, Boss Cao seemed to feel bad and sorry for General Huangfu Song. He quickly whispered about how Li Qing had already defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and how he had beheaded the bandits Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao. Huangfu Song was stunned.
"General Li is truly a Divine General." Finally, Huangfu Song returned to his senses and cupped his fists at Li Qing. This time, he was truly convinced.
"General Huangfu is too polite. Qing was lucky.”Li Qing said humbly.
" It seems that my trip was in vain, hahahaha..." Huangfu Song laughed heartily. He had been fighting everywhere because of the Yellow Turban's rampage, and he was really tired. Now that he heard that all the leaders of the thieves had been killed and that the Yellow Turban Army was only in name, how could he not be happy?
As for jealousy, perhaps he would feel it when he was ten years younger, but now, he did not have such thoughts.
Instead, he thought that with Li Qing around, there was hope for the Han Dynasty to revive.
