Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
Faced with Gongsun Zan's questioning, Huangfu Song showed no displeasure whatsoever. These people were close to the emperor, and at such a young age, they were already highly regarded by the emperor, so it was inevitable that they would be arrogant.
Moreover, he could see that Gongsun Zan was a rare talent for leading troops and a capable person, so it was normal for him to have some temper.
However, what he admired most was Huang Zhong. He could see that Huang Zhong was actually even more arrogant than them, but Huang Zhong was able to control his emotions very well, and even be completely restrained. If one did not have extreme self-confidence and a long-term vision, few people could do that.
It must be said that Huangfu Song was very good at judging people. Ever since the emperor told Huang Zhong that he would one day surpass the Flying General, his vision had already broadened.
He firmly believed that as long as he followed the emperor closely, surpassing the Flying General would only be the beginning of his future, so he naturally disdained to compete with others for temporary gains or losses.
This is precisely why Gongsun Zan and Ma Teng have always been at odds with him, because they felt that Huang Zhong, relying on his superior martial arts skills, didn't take them seriously at all.
Huangfu Song laughed and said, "Hehe~ Hansheng is overthinking it. I know how you feel, but you have more important things to do!"
Huangfu Song then continued, “The Northern Wuhuan are brave and skilled in battle. Even with our forces and the Southern Wuhuan joining forces, we can only barely maintain a balance. Now, with you all added, although we can defeat them head-on, the casualties suffered by our Han army will be extremely heavy, making it a losing proposition.”
Therefore, I have decided that my troops and the Southern Wuhuan will confront them head-on, while you will be responsible for flanking them from the rear and attacking them from behind. Then, we will attack from both sides and win the battle in one fell swoop!
After saying that, Huangfu Song slammed his fist heavily onto the map.
Upon hearing Huangfu Song's words, the four men's eyes lit up. If what Huangfu Song said was true, then they would be the ones to deserve the greatest credit in this battle.
Huang Zhong immediately replied in a deep voice, "We will certainly obey your orders!"
"We will certainly obey your orders!"
Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Du echoed in unison.
