Chapter 454: The Fourth Lieutenant of Dong Zhuo's Old Department (Plus Five)
Shaanxi County,
Dong Zhuo's old battalion,
The night was as cold as a knife, and it made Li Dao and Guo Yan and others as cold as the moon.
"Guo Tou'er, do you think the imperial court will agree to our pardon?" Guo Yan couldn't bear the silence and silence and the coldness emanating from his heart any longer, and angrily fiddled with the firewood in the bonfire in front of him, and asked Li Wei.
"This? Probably will, right? "Li Dao is only a school captain, in the Dong Zhuo Group, he only belongs to the Ma Zai level, and he has never touched politics at all, how can this be explained?
Dong Zhuo, a generation of arrogant men who once had power and roared the entire Han Dynasty, after his death, his arrogant and unscrupulous days were like a collapsed pyramid in an instant. From top to bottom, starting with Dong Zhuo, and then the entire Dong family, and even the Zhonglang generals under his command, quickly and completely collapsed.
So much so that at this time, the leaders of the seventy or eighty thousand Liangzhou Army turned out to be only four captain-level figures. And the ass decides the head, for these low-level captains who are just acting on orders, politics seems to be something farther away than the bright moon in the sky.
Before, the generals guarding the front line of Huayin Michi were Dong Yue and Duan Xuan. However, before Dong Zhuo was killed, in order to ensure his smooth Zen treatment, Duan Xuan led 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to be transferred to Jingzhao County to be garrisoned to demonstrate and intimidate. The day before receiving Zen, Dong Yue was also ordered to lead 20,000 Xiliang troops into Chang'an.
On the night of the Chang'an Rebellion, Duan Xuan and Dong Yue were both killed by Ma Jiajun. As for the other Zhonglang generals, Hu Zhen was already killed by Lu Bu, and Xu Rong and Lu Bu returned to the imperial court. At present, the only person Li Dao and Guo Yan can think of is Niu Fu's son-in-law Niu Fu, but the Qinguan where Niu Fu is located is thousands of miles away from Shaanxi County in Huayin, and they can't count on it at all.
Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji only gathered together after getting the news half a month after Dong Zhuo's death, but now more than half a month has passed, and the four of them still haven't discussed a safe way. In the end, it was Li Dao who made the final decision and wrote a letter of surrender to the imperial court, in order to survive.
"Even if the Taishi is rebellious, we are just a small lieutenant who acts under orders, so we shouldn't be implicated, right?" Fan Chou also took a sip of wine irritably and muttered.
"Zhong Lang generals such as Lu Bu and Xu Rong can be pardoned, and some of them have heavy troops in their hands and have not participated in the Chang'an Rebellion. Presumably, it should be fine, right? Zhang Ji looked at the listless Xiliang soldiers behind him and comforted himself.
And when he saw two more sneaky fellows fleeing from the camp, he suddenly wanted to get up and drink, but before he got up, he didn't bother to drink: after such a long time, the soldiers were stationed in different places, there was no hope of returning home, morale was extremely low, and escapees abounded. Even if you want to manage it, you can't manage it, and if it turns into a mutiny again, it will be too late to add fuel to the fire and regret it.
After listening to these people's answers, Guo Yan was silent, and after the three of them said this, they didn't say anything more. It's just that although the four of them no longer speak, the sorrow and dazedness on their faces are better than before - although they are stationed here, there is no shortage of food and soldiers, and when they broke Zhu Jun's righteous army, they swept Yingchuan and Chenliu counties to the east, and collected a lot of treasures. But there is no way forward, winter is coming, if there is no way to live, they really have to sit and wait for death.
"General, General!" A herald ran over with a shout, his face full of joy: "Good news, the court's pardon edict has come down!" ”
"Really?!" When the four of them heard this, they suddenly sat up from the ground, Guo Yan was even more excited, and pulled the herald who had slowed down from his horse, and said loudly: "Show me!" As he spoke, Guo Yan took out the yellow silk holy decree on the herald's chest, unfolded it violently, and looked back and forth with a big mouth. But after a while, this Guo Yan became angry: "Damn, read it to Lao Tzu, you don't know that Lao Tzu is illiterate!" ”
The herald originally wanted to come to report the good news and ask for rewards, but he didn't expect to be pulled down by Guo Yan, and he fell dizzy and his head was swollen. Fortunately, Li Dao, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji were all literate, and when Guo Yan was about to cut down the herald, Li Dao had already finished reading the content of the holy decree, and stopped Guo Yan with laughter: "Old Guo, only punish the evil, don't ask the rest, don't ask!" ”
"What do you mean?" Guo Yan used to be just a scoundrel who made a living by stealing horses, and although it was only a four-word official document, he still couldn't understand it.
"That is to say, only kill Mrs. Dong... Just do it! Well, we should be ordered to enter Chang'an and wait for the reward! Li Wei deliberately flaunted his knowledge, and even speculated about the holy will, just to finally pat Guo Yan's shoulder and say: "Lao Guo, it's not me Lao Li who said you, you have to read more books in the future!" Don't fuck people except slash people! ”
"There's a to learn that thing!" After Guo Yan heard the news of the court's pardon for him, he returned to his previous arrogant and scoundrel nature, spit and said: "Lao Tzu only knows that cutting people, drinking, and grass girls, such days are people's lives!" ”
Li Wei looked at Guo Yan's villain's virtue, and his old face suddenly became disdainful. I felt that all my majesty just now was shown to the dog, and I couldn't help but be a little annoyed. However, fortunately, at this time, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji also finished reading the holy decree, and said in unison: "There is finally a way to live!" ”
Hearing this, Li Dao felt that he was the first person to see the content of the holy decree, and for a while, he felt that he had taken advantage of it. But before the color on his face could be revealed, a scout hurriedly ran over, shouting, "Oh no! General, General Niu is back! ”
"What?!" The expressions on the faces of the four of them at this time were really exciting, and the world was changing for a while, which really made them unable to react.
"Damn, when there's no news, there's no news. But when there was news, two more came! Guo Yan took another sip of wine angrily, and then he was so angry that he smashed the wine jar directly, and said loudly: "Niu Fu, this dog's day, we used to expect him to lead us to avenge the Taishi, but he didn't appear, and now the court's pardon has come down, and he is here again!" Li Tou'er, Fan Tou'er, Zhang Tou'er, what should we do? ”
"What to do? Where the fuck do I know what to do?! Li Dao was also extremely angry and distraught at this time. But after all, his level is a little higher than Guo Yan, and his reaction is a little brighter than Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, and after calming down, he opened his mouth and asked the scout, "How many people are here in Niu Fu?" ”
"About five thousand people," the scout replied, then added, "mostly from the road......"
"It's all those shitty deserters?!" Guo Yan reacted suddenly, and immediately pulled out a knife and scolded: "These miscellaneous pieces, Lao Tzu can't keep them here, and he actually followed Niu Fu?" ”
When the scout saw this, where did he dare to take Guo Yan's mouth? But Guo Yan still didn't hesitate to point to the scout and asked, "You kid tell Lao Tzu honestly, do you also want to talk to Niu Fu?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare.......," the scout immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying: "If the villain has that thought, where will he run back to report to the general!" ”
"Enough! Hurry up and get out of the way! Li Dao kicked the scout away with one leg and yelled at Guo Yan: "Don't fucking take the little soldiers out of anger, hurry up and meet Niu Fu!" ”
"What?! Greet him?! Guo Yan immediately quit, picked up the knife and said to Li Dao: "He has less than 5,000 people, and Lao Tzu can destroy him in the blink of an eye!" ”
"Kill your mother!" Li Wei is also a short-tempered person, listening to Guo Yan making noise in his ears for a long time, he has long been impatient: "You are a fucking pig's head!" Think you have the ability to take a knife?! ”
"Li Dao! How the fuck do you dare to scold me?! Guo Yan exploded in one fell swoop, and slashed at Li Dao with a knife: "Lao Tzu killed you first!" ”
