Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Danger lurks Section 26

Chapter 1 Danger Twenty-Six: Late at night, Bi Gui Yuan. After Guo Yan and Zhang Ji received Dong Zhuo's military order, they immediately withdrew from Xiaopingjin Pass, and the two of them killed Bi Guiyuan as quickly as possible.

Yan Liang led the army to respond to the battle, but because the army had just ambushed Liu Jing and his more than 4,000 soldiers of the Northern Army, the various units were seriously damaged, the soldiers were exhausted, and the blocking position was continuously broken through.

Yan Liang hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhu Jun and Wu Qiu Yi that he couldn't resist it anymore and wanted to withdraw across the Yishui River immediately, and asked the two to quickly evacuate Bi Guiyuan, and then set fire to Bi Guiyuan and the grain and grass that had not had time to be transported.

Zhu Jun resolutely disagreed with the burning of Bi Gui Yuan, he ordered Wu Qiu Yi to lead 2,000 soldiers to support Yan Liang, and he and dozens of Peng subordinates from Henan Province mobilized tens of thousands of displaced people stranded in Luoyang City to continue to carry the grain and grass in Bi Gui Yuan.

Yan Liang shook his head helplessly after hearing the news, so he had to fight and retreat, and stubbornly guarded five miles north of Bi Guiyuan.

In the second half of the night, Dong Zhuo personally took 3,000 iron horsemen and 1,000 tigers to take the lead in killing Bi Guiyuan. Li Dao's army followed, only five miles away from Bi Guiyuan.

After Yan Liang received the report from the scout, he didn't say a word, and resolutely ordered the officers and men of the whole army to evacuate Bi Guiyuan quickly while it was night.

If you don't evacuate, as soon as the morning dawns and a day of fierce fighting, the exhausted soldiers are bound to be slaughtered by Xiliang's iron hooves.

On the banks of the Yishui River, the screams of terror and despair shook the heavens, and the scene was chaotic as a tide of displaced people swarmed along the three remaining bridges.

Yan Liang stationed at Maqiaotou and looked at the army that was staggered and stagnant by the homeless people, and he was anxious.

"My lord, the Northern Army's iron cavalry has entered Bi Guiyuan."

"My lord, the army of Guo Yan and Zhang Ji is coming from the east."

"Your Excellency. Li Dao's army has already been killed from the front. "The scouts are coming and going, and the situation is getting more and more critical.

If the army was besieged and killed by Dong Zhuo in the Yishui River, thousands of soldiers from the northern Xinjiang would be finished.

"Command the tribes, kill the homeless, and quickly cross the bridge." Yan Liang shook his teeth and suddenly roared,

"Kill me, ......kill me," the herald was stunned, looked at each other, and no one moved. To slaughter these innocent people?

Is this an adult's military order? Yan Liang looked at them murderously, and shouted again: "Order the subordinates, kill me to the other side." ......Hurry up" The soldiers in the northern Xinjiang hesitated and hesitated, it was the first time they had received such an order, and they couldn't do anything in the face of the unarmed people who were crying and grabbing the ground.

Wu Qiu Yi's subordinates did not hesitate to raise their swords and spears, and one by one they slaughtered the chaotic crowd like fierce gods.

A terrible scream suddenly resounded in the night sky. The homeless people were caught off guard and fell to the ground one by one like leeks.

Human heads rolled in the darkness, severed limbs and stumps flew across the river, blood flowing down the banks and bridges into the river.

The desperate homeless people howl like madness, and the wolves rush to find a way out, but where can they survive?

Bloody weapons and hideous faces reaped their lives at will. The displaced people were either killed or trampled to death by each other, and many more jumped into the icy water.

Thousands of troops trampled on the corpses of the displaced people and rushed to the other side of the Yishui River. The Northern Frontier Army was at the rear. The soldiers looked at the wreckage under their feet, looked at the floating corpses in the river, smelled the blood, listened to the mournful cries, and looked pained, sad and helpless.

Could this be the peaceful and prosperous world that I am looking forward to? We have conquered the desert and subdued the Hu people, but why can't we see the days of peace and tranquility?

Zhu Jun and a group of officials from Henan Prefecture hurried to the Yishui River surrounded by a group of guards. They were stunned.

The Yishui River is full of corpses and has become a slaughterhouse.

"Who did it? Who did this? Zhu Jun stared at his blood-red eyes, waved his hands, and screamed hysterically,

"Who did this?" Yan Liang came up and said in a cold voice: Jun trembled, pointed at Yan Liang, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"I told you to burn Bi Guiyuan, but you just won't do it." Yan Liang said hatefully,

"If in the early hours of the morning, the army retreats first and then burns Bi Guiyuan, how can there be such a dangerous situation?"

"You ......" Zhu Jun's face turned pale, and his right hand grabbed the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"Lord Zhu, without an army, how can I contend with Dong Zhuo?" Yan Liang pointed in the direction of Bi Guiyuan and said,

"I don't understand, why can't Your Majesty's garden be burned?" Then he said word by word with a murderous look on his face,

"If the adults still take the lives of the brothers as child's play next time, I will burn Luoyang to the ground." Yan Liang hit the horse and left.

Zhu Jun was extremely depressed in his chest, dizzy, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fell headlong under the horse. On the end of October, Otani Pass.

Lü Bu led a large army to the pass. At the end of September, after he was ordered to attack, he confronted Sun Jian in Luyang. Sun Jian suffered a defeat in Yangren and Dahuling last time, and was trapped in Guangcheng Pass and couldn't move.

At that time, if it wasn't for Xu Rong and Yuan Shu shaking hands in time and making peace, Sun Jian would have to eat people to get by. So this time, when he saw Lu Bu coming again, he wanted to wash away his shame, and went out of the city several times to invite battles to fight against Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't do it, and refused in one bite. Sun Jian went to the letter to ridicule Lu Bu, and scolded very badly, what kind of Hun people's evil species, killing the old master, betraying the lord for glory, and taking refuge in ** pigtail, all the words that can be thought of are used.

Lu Bu was unmoved, and wrote a reply, with only two big characters on the letter, and did not fight. He said here that he would not fight, but he sent Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and others to lead the army to plunder everywhere, and he almost dug three feet into the ground in Luyang County.

The people of Luyang suffered deeply and fled south to Wancheng, but there were also northern troops in the Wancheng area. Dong Yue and Li Su took advantage of the confrontation between Yuan Shu's main force and Liu Biao in Xiangyang, and wantonly burned and looted in the areas of Liguo, Shunyang, and Wancheng.

The people of Nanyang were miserable and fled south in droves. Although Sun Jian was worried about the suffering of the people, he did not dare to send troops out of the city to snipe at will, he was worried that he would fall into Lu Bu's plan to lure the enemy and lose his troops.

He was bent on a head-on battle with Lu Bu's main force. At this time, Lu Bu received Dong Zhuo's military order to return to Luoyang immediately.

Lu Bu didn't know what was going on in Luoyang, so he hurriedly retreated to Guangcheng Pass with a large army. He asked Zhang Liao to lead 3,000 people to guard the pass, and he took 5,000 troops to the north day and night, and returned to Beijing through Dagu Pass.

Tian Yi greeted him at Otani Pass. He explained in detail to Lu Bu that Zhu Jun and Wu Qiu Yi betrayed the imperial court, united with Yan Liang to kill Li Ru, ambushed Liu Jing, and seized the grain and grass of Bi Guiyuan.

Lu Bu was taken aback,

"Could it be that the hussar general betrayed the court?" Tian Yi nodded,

"At the end of September, the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly attacked Gyeonggi with the intention of attacking Chang'an and Luoyang. It seems that the hussar general has completely convinced Yuan Shao and betrayed the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. Lu Bu was shocked, did the general want to kill Dong Zhuo and King Qin?

With their own understanding of the generals and the generals of Northern Xinjiang, they would never betray the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. They have conquered the desert after a lot of hardships and made great achievements, what reason should they abandon all this, and instead become a rebellion that has been stinking for thousands of years?

If the general decides to kill Dong Zhuo, will his chance to take revenge come? Tian Yi continued: "The army of Yan Liang, Zhu Jun, and Wuqiu Yi is south of the Yishui River, and they only have a few thousand people, so they are vulnerable. Now Lord Xiangguo is stationed north of the Yishui River with the troops of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, Fan Chou has already arrived in Luoyang with reinforcements, and Niu Fu is also on the way. In order to prevent future troubles forever, Lord Xiangguo plans to personally lead the army to cross the river to the south to attack, and let you and Hu Zhen attack north from Dagu Pass and Yuyuan Pass, so as to form a north-south flank attack against the rebellious army. Lu Bu's heart was cold after hearing this.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, Yan Liang has no possibility of winning at all, and the hussar general will not make such a move, there must be some secret here.

He is not Dong Zhuo's cronies, and he has always been at odds with the generals of the Xiliang family, Tian Yi will not tell himself this secret, what should he do?

Is it to fight Yan Liang or not? Beat Yan Liang, he formed a deep enmity with the Northern Xinjiang Army, and was accused of ingratitude?

How will you face the hussar generals in the future? Facing Xu Rong and Zhao Yun? If you don't fight Yan Liang, how can you win Dong Zhuo's trust and wait for an opportunity to take revenge?

Lu Bu was worried and uneasy, and reluctantly followed Tian Yi quietly to the north. Before Hu Zhen's army could reach the assembly area, the attack had already begun, and Lü Bu's army alone took on the heavy task of attacking the rebels from the south.

The news sent by the scouts made Lu Bu secretly relieved, Yan Liang and Zhu Jun led the army to meet Dong Zhuo's attack in the area of the Yishui River, and it was Wuqiu Yi who resisted him.

Yan Liang and the others obviously did not expect that Dong Zhuo would be able to recruit nearly 10,000 troops from all over the country to return to help in such a short period of time, and they were caught off guard and were hit head-on.

Wuqiu Yi and Tian Chou led 3,000 men and fought fiercely with Lu Bu for several hours. At dusk, they were finally broken by Lu Bu, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and completely collapsed.

Lu Bu, Wei Xu and others led the army to cover up and kill all the way, Wu Qiu Yi was killed by a team of soldiers in the chaos, Tian Chou and a group of guards fought desperately to get out of the encirclement and fled directly to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Tian Yi immediately asked Lu Bu to take advantage of the victory to attack Yan Liang. Lu Bu flatly refused, he opened a pair of blood-red eyes and roared: "Although I, Lu Bu, am a martial artist, I am not blind or an idiot. What about Hu Zhen? Where's Hu Zhen? He's closer to Luoyang, why can I rush back and he can't? What does Sangkoku-sama mean? Do you want to kill me Lu Bu and bury all my men on the battlefield? I'm not going, I'm going to let Hu Zhen go. Tian Yi was startled, and hurriedly comforted: "Fengxian, this is a battlefield, don't be rash." ”

"Battlefield? Don't be presumptuous? Lu Bu pulled a soldier over, ripped off his leather armor and shouted,

"Look what this is? This is the bones, the skin is wrapped in the bones, and this is how my men use them to withstand the swords and spears of the enemy. You go and look at Hu Zhen's soldiers, look at Niu Fu's soldiers, which one is not fat and strong? ”

"My lord said it......" Tian Yi said with a wry smile,

"Your lordship's food and salary are not enough, and Lord Xiangguo has no intention of favoring one over the other." Lu Bu brushed his sleeves away.

Tian Yi followed behind and persuaded hard, and promised that after winning this battle, he would definitely make up all the military salaries owed to Lu Bu in the past.

Lu Bu's face looked a little better, and he ordered Wei Xu and others to reorganize the army, let the soldiers seize the time to rest, and attack Yan Liang's army after dawn.

After dawn, the scouts came to report. In the early hours of yesterday morning, Wu Xiong, Xiang Cheng and others of the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly appeared in the direction of Beibi Mountain, they sneaked into the flank of Dong Zhuo's army, severely damaged Guo Yan, and then swaggered across the Yishui River to join Yan Liang.

Yan Liang immediately withdrew his troops and left, and returned to the Tiger Prison. Dong Zhuo did not blame Lu Bu, on the contrary, he rewarded Lu Bu heavily.

As soon as Lu Bu came to Luoyang, he traveled 400 miles in three days to reach Luoyang, and then fought fiercely for a day with 5,000 men and Wu Qiu Yi's 3,000 soldiers.

If Lu Bu continued to fight, even if he could inflict heavy damage on Yan Liang, his remnants would definitely be killed and wounded. In addition, Dong Zhuo knew the truth about Li Ru's killing.

A captured fake soldier told Dong Zhuo that Li Ru was killed by Wuqiu Yi, and it was purely a coincidence, who would have thought that Li Ru would go to the Tiger Prison Pass to supervise the battle at that time.

Dong Zhuo regretted it so much that he said casually and actually ruined Li Ru's life. However, what made him feel a little relieved was that Wu Qiu Yi died and was killed by Lu Bu's Bingzhou soldiers, and this revenge was finally avenged.

Because of this incident, Dong Zhuo began to favor Lu Bu, and even said that he would transfer him to his side in the future, be responsible for his own safety, and let Zhang Liao lead the army.

Lu Bu's heart was dark. Of course, he would not be naïve enough to believe Dong Zhuo's nonsense. He knew that his refusal to send troops to attack Yan Liang that night and his disobedience to military orders had aroused Dong Zhuo's jealousy.

It's just that he doesn't know whether Dong Zhuo has murderous intentions or wants to cut off his military power. Dong Zhuo did not have soldiers in the Tiger Prison.

This civil unrest disrupted his entire Gyeonggi strategy, and he had to rethink how to deal with it. Wu Qiu Yi died, Zhu Jun had no troops in his hands, and Yan Liang was hit hard, so it was impossible for Luoyang to have another war in the short term.

Especially now that Wu Xiong, Xiang Cheng and Yan Liang have met, and the Northern Frontier Army has arrived, Yan Liang has nothing to worry about, and he will not fight again no matter what.

Dong Zhuo was also unable to fight again. In this civil strife, Dong Zhuo not only lost nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Army, but also lost all the grain and grass accumulated in Luoyang.

The top priority of the Northern Army was to immediately move south to attack Yingchuan and Nanyang.

"Shuping (Tian Yi), you go to Hedong immediately." Dong Zhuo said,

"I have to hold the leopard steady first. You said to the hussar general, I can give Luoyang to him, but the premise is that whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, you must respect the son of today and obey the will of the Son of Heaven and the court. Otherwise, I will never let Luoyang go, I would rather burn Luoyang to ashes than let it become a place where Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu attacked Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo urgently ordered Hu Zhen to continue attacking Yingchuan, and Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops south to support.

Ordered Lü Bu to continue the attack on Luyang, and Zhang Ji went south with Lü Bu, striving to join Dong Yue and Li Su's armies as soon as possible and capture Wancheng.

Fan Chou was ordered to pretend to be tens of thousands of troops under the banner of the lords of all departments, and stationed troops in the three passes of Tiger Prison, Mengjin, and Xiaopingjin, and made a deceptive attack.

Dong Zhuo himself led the army and stationed it in Xianyang Yuan. On October, Hedong, Hebei City. Li Hong led his army to garrison Hebei City.

Hebei City is located at the southwest foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the distance from Pubanjin, Fenglingdu and Maojindu is within 200 miles, which is convenient for command.

After Li Hong arrived in Hedong, the offensive of the Northern Army weakened, and after two more days, the Northern Army simply stopped attacking and stopped fighting.

Now no one knows what is happening in Luoyang, Li Hong, Xu Rong and Yu Shi and others are worried about the safety of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, and they are worried and worried all day long.

Scouts have been sent out in several batches, but nothing has been heard back. On this day, Guo Xun, the commander stationed in Maojindu, personally escorted the three people to Hebei City.

When Sima Zhumu saw these three people, his face immediately changed greatly.

"Zhongping, why are you here? What happened to my father? What happened? Zhu Mu grabbed Zhu Wei and asked urgently.

Zhu Mu understands his father's character, it is not a matter of life and death, he will not send all his relatives away from Luoyang.

Zhu Wei's expression was gloomy, and he bowed his head and said nothing. Zhu Mu's eyes turned red in an instant, and he shouted loudly: "You speak......"

"Brother Gongding, when we left the teacher, everything was calm in Luoyang." Ding Li, who was standing next to him, whispered comforting,

"Don't worry too much, the teacher will be fine. Take us to the General. Li Hong took the letter and immediately handed it to Zhu Mu, who was standing on the side and was in a hurry.

"Gongding, you look first. Don't worry, there is Zishan (Yan Liang) in Luoyang, and Lord Zhu will be fine. Zhu Mu glanced at Li Hong gratefully, bowed down to take the letter, and eagerly opened it to look at it carefully.

Li Hong turned his eyes to look at the three of them, and asked with a smile: "Now that the two armies are fighting, how did you cross the river?" Ding Li pointed to the young handsome Confucian behind him and said, "This is thanks to Yang Hua's help." After Ding Li and Zhu Wei passed through Hangu Pass with Zhu Jun's warrant, they directly found Yang Valve of Hongnong and asked Yang Valve for help in the name of Zhu Jun.

An elder of Yang Valve immediately sent someone to send them to Caoyang Pavilion on the bank of the Yellow River. This is a manor of Yang Valve, and the head of Yang Valve, who is guarding the manor, called Yang Hua and asked Yang Hua to send them to the other side by boat.

Ding Li and Zhu Wei were very surprised to see that the boat was actually a handsome Confucian in cloth clothes. Yang Huazu was a side branch of Yang Valve, because his family was in the middle of the road, so he had to find an errand in Yang Valve's manor to barely make ends meet.

Caoyang Pavilion was eighty miles away from Maojindu, not a battlefield, but they were very unlucky, and as soon as they arrived on the opposite bank, they were captured by the patrolling northern Xinjiang soldiers.

The three were imprisoned in the barracks as enemy scouts, and the letters on Ding Li's body were also searched. When Lieutenant Li Yao saw this letter, he was very surprised, and hurriedly called Guo Xun and ordered him to send the three to the hussar general's camp.

When Li Hong heard that Yang Hua could sail a boat, he was very curious and asked a few questions. Yang Hua said that he grew up by the Yellow River, and it is not uncommon for him to be able to sail a boat, after all, his family is poor and he has to help his parents since he was a child.

When I grew up, I relied on Yang Valve's help to read some books, so I settled accounts in the manor and did some light things.

Li Hong smiled: "You can stay for the time being." It was dangerous to cross the river by boat, and once caught by the Northern Army, his life was gone. I'm short of manpower here, so why don't you help in the house first? Yang Hua suspected that he had heard it wrong, and he was stunned for a long time and didn't dare to speak.

Ding Li hurriedly pushed him,

"Thank you, General, you are from the Hussar General's Mansion, hurry up, ......" Yang Hua reacted at this time, the general actually opened his mouth to recruit him into the mansion, is there such a good thing in the world?

The sudden surprise made it difficult for him to contain his excitement and excitement, and tears blurred his eyes in an instant.

Zhu Mu looked up to the sky and sighed, and handed the letter to Li Hong,

"It's a big problem." Li Hong was shocked.

"Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, and his father wanted to kill him." Jump to
