Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 2 Like Facing the Abyss Section 7
The second chapter is like the middle of the first month of the seventh section of the abyss, Hedong, Hebei City Hussar General's Camp. The snow was falling and the cold wind was howling.
The atmosphere inside the tent was solemn, except for the occasional crisp sound of the charcoal fire burning in the brazier
Except for the "crackling" sound, there was no sound. Li Hong looked at the map on the desk and lowered his head in thought. Xu Rong, Lu Yi, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Yushi, Zhu Mu and others are passing on the edict of the eldest princess.
The Jinyang Imperial Court has just been established, and if the eldest princess wants to get the support of various states and counties, she must first reverse the current grim situation, so that all states and counties can see the hope of reviving Sheji and the strong strength of the eldest princess.
In this way, all prefectures and counties can loyally support the eldest princess and the imperial court, and can unite as one, and defeat Dong Zhuo and capture Luoyang is the only way to reverse the current grim situation.
It takes time, troops, and money to fight Luoyang, so whether the eldest princess can get the support of Jizhou has become the key to reversing the current situation, however, this key is now in trouble.
No one thought that after just over a month, the Jinyang Imperial Court was facing a desperate situation of collapse.
In order to control this new imperial court, Han Fu and Yuan Shao united various prefectures and counties, and demanded the re-establishment of the imperial system when the Luoyang War was about to begin.
This kind of naked coercion and threat is really shameless.
"What else is this discussing?" Koji said angrily,
"If the imperial court can't meet the requirements of Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others, the attack strategy of attacking in the middle and winning in the middle will definitely not be implemented. Without the continuous supply of money and grain in Jizhou, and without the flanking attack of the three-way army, we would not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo by relying on our own strength in northern Xinjiang. This battle could no longer be fought, so it was better to immediately change the strategy and take Jizhou instead, first stabilize the prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River, and then try to fight against Dong and revitalize Sheji. Li Hong didn't hear it, and still looked at the map.
As soon as Lu Yi spoke, the generals of Northern Xinjiang and the subordinates in the palace immediately argued with each other, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly changed from the dullness just now, and suddenly became popular.
Zhu Mu said that in the past, under the pressure of the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army in various places, the first emperor changed the assassination history of some large states into state pastors who combined military and political power, and also allowed a large number of prefectures and counties to expand the county national soldiers and the wealthy men in various places to prepare for the formation of volunteers.
As a result, the state and county officials in various localities were able to hold heavy troops, which directly caused the evil consequences of the state and county supporting the army and self-respect today.
Over the past year, in order to curry favor with Dong and quell the rebellion, the prefectures and counties not only deliberately used troops, but also withheld taxes for two years, which greatly stimulated the officials of the prefectures and counties.
Who wants to give up the power and wealth they have already had? The real purpose of Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others to rebuild the imperial system was actually to control the imperial court and protect the huge benefits they had obtained.
Now it seems that counting on them will not save the community. The general did not hesitate to give up all the military politics in Northern Xinjiang, and Lord Taifu gave up the military politics in Youzhou, but Han Fu clung to the power in his hands, which shows his greed for power and wealth.
Han Fu is not even willing to give up the military and political affairs of a state, can we still count on him to provide money and food to the army and help the imperial court King Qin to seek Dong?
As I said, this court is a four-different court, it is difficult to deter the state and county, and sooner or later something will happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Accidents can allow us to see the true faces of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and the imperial court can also quickly adjust some major strategies to avoid suffering in the future.
However, Zhu Mu, Ding Li, Yang Hua and others all opposed the attack on Jizhou. If we also disobey the will of the imperial court and wantonly attack Jizhou with troops, then what is the difference between us and Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others?
Do the eldest princess and the court still want to be respected? Attacking Jizhou is tantamount to breaking with various states and counties. After the two sides fought, the Central Plains continued to fight, and the lives were devastated.
Who will save the community? Zhu Mu and others suggested that on the basis of maintaining the status of the eldest princess and the imperial court, they should make appropriate concessions, and they could even promise Han Fu and Yuan Shao to move the eldest princess and the imperial court to Jizhou, but there was only one condition in northern Xinjiang, that is, to recover all the power handed over by northern Xinjiang.
Since Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others are unwilling to give up power, why should I give up power in Northern Xinjiang? This concession did not cost the northern frontier anything, and we maintained the position of the eldest princess and the imperial court, and met the demands of Jizhou and other prefectures and counties, while also receiving appropriate assistance from them.
Of course, in the case that the northern Xinjiang has not completely extricated itself from various crises, we will only attack Luoyang to alleviate our own difficulties, and will no longer let the eldest princess and the imperial court drive to fight Chang'an and go to King Qin to fight Dong.
In the future, when Northern Xinjiang becomes stronger, we will try to rejuvenate the country. The two generals, Zhang Yan and Yang Feng, did not agree to attack Jizhou, but they also did not agree with the opinions of Zhu Mu and others to continue the attack on Luoyang.
Although on the surface, there was an attempt to destroy Liu Yu and seize power to control the imperial court, but their real purpose was obviously to weaken and restrain the power of the general.
Once the northern Xinjiang gave in, Han Fu and Yuan Shao took control of the imperial court, and they pretended to take the opportunity of the three-way army to attack Luoyang, inducing us and Dong Zhuo to fight to the death, and the northern Xinjiang was bound to suffer heavy losses.
Now that Han Fu and Yuan Shao's faces have been exposed, they are shameless, so are Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and Kong Ling also shameless?
Just look at Sun Jian. At the beginning, when Sun Jian pretended to ask Dong to go north, he killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang, this kind of person is lawless and not trustworthy at all.
For the sake of the position of the head of the family, Yuan Shu simply broke openly with Yuan Shao, and he and Yuan Shao were both the same dog.
With these goods and us fighting Luoyang, how can we ensure that they do their best? If the Battle of Luoyang finally turns into a decisive battle between us and Dong Zhuo, then we will lose a lot.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu got Luoyang without much effort, and because of our weak strength, it is very likely that we will be driven back to the north by them.
The purpose of our earliest attempt to attack Luoyang was to provide food from Jing and Henan, and to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang, but because we have now dumped all the victims stranded in northern Xinjiang and the four Tuntian counties in Jizhou to Han Fu, the food crisis in northern Xinjiang has been greatly alleviated, and the financial gap in northern Xinjiang can also be temporarily replenished with the saved Tuntian funds, so we don't need to attack Luoyang in the short term.
More than 100,000 troops are dominating the northern frontier, which is a huge threat to Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and everyone.
As long as we maintain this powerful threat, we will have what we want, and who would dare not give? The people in the big tent were arguing fiercely.
Only Li Hong and Xu Rong were silent. Li Hong looked down at the map, and Xu Rong sat next to the brazier and watched the dancing flames intently, not leisurely adding a few black charcoal to the brazier.
Lu Yi gave Ding Li a few words, his face was a little unbearable, and he kicked Xu Rong angrily,
"Zilie, you can also talk about it. Shouldn't you go to Jizhou? When Li Hong heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Rong.
Xu Rong smiled slightly,
"Of course Jizhou wants to fight, but not now." Judging from the current situation, whether it is the Son of Heaven, the Chang'an Imperial Court, or the Jinyang Imperial Court, they are no longer able to command various prefectures and counties.
The reason is that Gongding (Zhu Mu) said that the prefectures and counties have tasted the sweetness of supporting the army and respecting themselves, and no one is willing to give up power to the powerless Son of Heaven and the imperial court.
So do we. Whoever surrenders power in his hands is at risk of being swallowed up by other forces.
Although we have the heart to save the community, but we don't even have our own lives, how can we save the community? As Feiyan and Qizhi (Yang Feng) said, we need to be strong.
Only when we are strong can we be saved. The most powerful Han today is Dong Zhuo, followed by the general, then Yuan Shao and some state and county officials who follow him, including Han Fu, and one is Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.
Others, such as Lord Taifu in Youzhou and Lord Liu Yan in Yizhou, although they are loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, they are powerless because they live in remote places.
Several major forces tried to stabilize the society, but for various reasons, none of them succeeded. Over the past year, we have made many efforts to stabilize the community, but in the end they have all failed.
This time, if the general joins forces with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he will definitely be able to defeat Dong Zhuo, and the society will be stable in a few years, but we have all seen the results, some people don't want King Qin to ask Dong, and they don't want the society to be stable.
Some people have ill intentions to overthrow the Han Dynasty, so now we have to face up to the reality, and the general must set a rescue plan for the Han Society as soon as possible.
The premise of this salvation strategy is that we must be strong, strong enough to deter other forces, enough to defeat other forces, so that we can talk about the rejuvenation of the country, otherwise it is all a fool's dream, and it is purely a move to bring disaster to the country and the people.
For example, hitting Jizhou. Taking Jizhou will indeed be of great help to northern Xinjiang and to saving Sheji, but now there are several unfavorable factors in attacking Jizhou.
First, the general was saddled with the responsibility of holding the eldest princess and the imperial court hostage, and the crime of attacking the state and county without authorization.
The reputation of the great general was damaged, which was very unfavorable to the future Qin Wang Xingguo. Second, for the sake of their own survival, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Dai are bound to do their best to protect Jizhou, and we will definitely face a counterattack by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops.
In addition, if the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro takes the opportunity to go down the mountain, and if the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou takes the opportunity to go north, the three armies will fight again and again, and Jizhou will immediately be in ruins.
We want a complete Jizhou, not a ruin. Third, the war in Jizhou has caused disasters for the displaced people, and Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou are definitely the first choice for the displaced people to avoid trouble, but we cannot solve the problem of the displaced people now.
Fourth, if Dong Zhuo takes the opportunity to send troops to Hedong, we will have to fight on both battlefields at the same time. At that time, the army could not take care of both the end of the army, and there was a serious shortage of grain and grass.
Even if we are barely defeated, the collapse of the northern frontier is an inevitable fact. These are four unsolvable problems, which the general cannot solve, and neither can we.
In other words, now that we are fighting Jizhou, not only will we not be able to strengthen the northern Xinjiang, but we will quickly bury the northern Xinjiang.
What we need now is a strategy to quickly strengthen the northern frontier, so Yuntian (Liyi)'s strategy of attacking Jizhou is not a good one, and Feiyan's strategy of closing the door and defending itself is also not advisable, only Gongding (Zhu Mu)'s strategy of uniting Han Fu to attack Luoyang is advisable.
After Xu Rong finished speaking, it was very quiet in the big tent. The generals pondered for a long time and turned their eyes to look at Li Hong. The final decision is still made by the general.
"We don't fight Jizhou." Li Hong said in a firm tone,
"As for the reason, Zilie, Gongding, Jingming (Ding Li), and Wenzhi (Yang Hua) all said it just now, and I will add one more point, that is, the contradiction between Han Fu and Yuan Shao, as well as the direction of attack of the Yellow Turban Army after the beginning of spring this year." Of the nine counties in Jizhou, Han Fu now actually controls two counties, and if we give up the four counties such as Zhongshan, Han Fu actually controls six counties.
Yuan Shao controlled the three richest counties in Jizhou, and he still held half of Jizhou's taxes. In addition, Han Fu is the pastor of Jizhou, while Yuan Shao is only the Taishou of Bohai County, and Han Fu is Yuan Shao's Shangguan.
But in the Dong Alliance, Yuan Shao is a general of the chariot and cavalry, and he is Han Fu's superior. This is where the contradiction between the two of them lies.
If we make a step and elect Han Fu to act as prime minister, and send the eldest princess and the court to Jizhou, Han Fu's power will increase greatly, and then Yuan Shao will face a difficult choice.
Is he at ease to be a subordinate official, and hand over the counties and taxes he actually controls to Han Fu? Or do you want to overthrow Han Fu, control Jizhou and the imperial court by yourself, and monopolize power?
The answer is obvious. If Yuan Shao wants to overthrow Han Fu and monopolize power, he must obtain my support, otherwise I can use this as an excuse to attack Jizhou.
My method is to support Han Fu openly and Yuan Shao secretly. Let them go to infighting, so that I can make a profit, and the north can get what they want.
They are infighting and infighting, and we still want it in Jizhou. Zilie and Gongding have already said just now that these people have self-respecting troops and have gradually formed a trend of separation, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to expect them to bow down and be subordinate.
Master Taifu has already fallen victim to them, and I don't want to be their next victim.
I have thought about it, if we want to quickly stabilize and revitalize the society, we can only kill them, so as not to harm others and ourselves in the future, and bring disaster to the country and the people.
The opportunity to take Jizhou was the attack of the Yellow Turban Army on Jizhou this year. The prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River and Hanoi County did not have anything to eat, and the Yellow Turban Army had to enter Jizhou if they wanted to survive.
For the sake of Jizhou's food and survival, the two sides will inevitably fight to the death, and when they are almost finished, we will sweep them away under the pretext of counterinsurgency.
"Let's fight Luoyang." Li Hong said with a smile,
"I won't talk about the benefits of fighting Luoyang, you all know very well that whether it is for the revitalization of Sheji, the reputation of our northern Xinjiang, or the survival and strength of northern Xinjiang, there is no harm, but considering that we are going to fight Jizhou next year, so this year's battle, we can't fight hard, we can't lose too much, we have to take Luoyang at the lowest cost."
"After the Yellow Turban Army entered Jizhou this year, no matter whether Han Fu and Yuan Shao can defeat them or not, Jizhou's grain and wealth will be in arrears. In this way, next year's attack on Jizhou, the food and salary of tens of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang will become a big problem. If the army's food and salary are completely dependent on entering Jizhou, it is obviously unrealistic to forcibly raise money from various counties and counties in Jizhou, and we must try our best to raise a part of it this year, which is also one of the reasons why the army cannot let go and storm Luoyang. Xu Rong and other generals in Northern Xinjiang agreed with Li Hong's decision, and after a little discussion on some of the details, Li Hong immediately wrote to the eldest princess.
In the recital, Li Hong elaborated on the reasons why he could not return to Jinyang immediately, and then made several suggestions for resolving the crisis of imperial rule.
Li Hong believed that Taifu Liu Yu was loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty, and this time he had suffered a pure disaster and should be pardoned for all his crimes.
Now that the country is in crisis, it is really not appropriate to kill the minister and destroy the foundation. In order to appease the counties of Youzhou, it is better to let Lord Taifu lead the Youzhou pastor and leave Jinyang, the land of right and wrong, as soon as possible.
In order to ensure the authority of the eldest princess and the imperial court, Li Hong suggested that Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials should be exempted from their crimes, and a little reprimanding was sufficient.
These radical actions of the ministers are obviously for the safety of the Han Society. Therefore, the eldest princess and the imperial court still adhered to the idea of calming things down and seeking common ground while reserving differences, and on the basis of resolutely respecting the current son, they negotiated with the state and county officials as soon as possible to meet their other conditions.
After Lord Taifu leaves Jinyang, who will be in charge? Li Hong recommended Jizhou Mu Hanfu. The Battle of Luoyang is about to begin, and whether this battle can be won or not will directly affect King Qin's plan to seek Dong and revitalize Sheji, so the minister begged the eldest princess and the ministers of the court to give up their personal grievances and prejudices, and immediately supervise Lord Han to Jinyang to preside over state affairs.
Considering that Lord Taifu is no longer in charge, and the ministers of the imperial court are not familiar with the affairs of northern Xinjiang, and the eldest princess has to concentrate on dealing with the crisis of imperial control in the near future, in order to ensure the stability of the counties in northern Xinjiang and the smooth affairs of Tuntian, salt and iron, Li Hong implored the eldest princess and the imperial court to temporarily hand over all military and political affairs in northern Xinjiang to the general Zhao Qi.
If the eldest princess and the court think that this discussion is inappropriate, the minister suggests that Lord Zhao Qi temporarily act as the Taifu Mansion, do the affairs of the prime minister, preside over state affairs, and exercise authority.
Li Hong wrote a good chapter and asked the generals to look at them one by one to see if there were any things that needed to be modified and added. Koji Yi sneered: "This performance itself has no deterrent effect. If the general wants to ensure the safety of Lord Taifu and the fact that Lord Zhao Qi can temporarily take power, it is best to send an army back. I personally took the Black Panther Yi back to Jinyang, what do you think, general? Li Hong thought for a while, and said to Lu Yi: "Don't go, your temper is unacceptable to ordinary people, so let Ling Ming (Pang De) go." "The letters of Zhao Qi and Li Wei were sent to the hussar general's camp at the same time.
Li Hong was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly sent an eight-hundred-mile fast cavalry to the Ural Mountains, ordering Wei Jun to stick to the pasture and not act rashly.
Then send a fast horse to Youzhou, ask Gongsun Zhan not to send troops for the time being, and he will ensure that Lord Taifu is sent back to Youzhou intact.
"The boss is too anxious, and he wants to send 20,000 iron horsemen to threaten Jizhou. Why didn't he want to think about how much shock it would have to the outer border counties and deserts if he urgently requisitioned 20,000 iron cavalry to the south at this time. Li Hong smiled bitterly at Xu Rong,
"Gongsun Zan has arrived in Jizhou, and 20,000 iron horsemen in northern Xinjiang have also arrived in Jizhou, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will definitely turn around and go south, and will not risk the annihilation of the whole army to go north to Jizhou. The old man almost ruined my big thing.
"It's understandable that the boss's heart is hanging on for the safety of northern Xinjiang." Xu Rong groaned,
"You see, should we tell him the overall strategy, lest the old man be worried and worried every day."
"Nope." Li Hong shook his hand and said,
"Recently, the situation has been moving faster and more complex, and our strategy is always changing. Telling him only made the old man more anxious. This overall strategy, except for a few of us, only told Li Wei and Yu Peng in Jinyang to let them do their best to help the boss deal with state affairs. Li Hong immediately sighed: "At this time, I can only let this eighty-three-year-old man come out to save the crisis." Let him do Jinyang's affairs, he has to work out for the time being, what he wants to do, how can we support him. Today, except for this old man, everyone is likely to betray the big man, who can we trust now? Xu Rong gently patted Li Hong's back, speechless.
In the middle of the first month, Ha Duong City, Hanoi County, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang camp. Years ago, Wang Kuang, Liu Xun, and Zhang Yang were ordered by Yuan Shao to lead their own troops to assemble in Heyang and prepare to attack Luoyang.
In the past few days, heavy snow has fallen, the temperature has plummeted, the Yellow River has frozen three feet, and people and horses have walked on it, as if it were flat ground.
In order to keep out the cold, the soldiers hid in the military tents one after another to keep warm, and the entire camp was hidden under the white snow, and there was no trace.
Late at night, Wang Kuang was suddenly dragged out of the quilt by a pair of cold hands, he couldn't help but shudder, and opened his eyes suddenly.
What caught my eye was a frightened pale face with a few strands of blood on its cheeks.
"Yuan heir......" Wang Kuang blurted out,
"What's going on?"
"Let's go, let's go, Dong Zhuo attacked the camp, Dong Zhuo attacked the camp, go quickly......" Han Hao couldn't help but say, and pulled Wang Kuang up.
Several attendants rushed up, and even people carried quilts and ran away. Snowy nights are as bright as day, and snowflakes are flying all over the sky.
The war drums were like thunder, the sound of killing shook the four fields, the soldiers and wolves of Hanoi rushed to the pigs, and the terrible screams were earth-shattering.
"Yuanhei, what's going on? Isn't Dong Zhuo's army in Yingchuan? How did you get to Hanoi? Wang Kuang's face was blank, and he shouted loudly as he looked at the soldiers running in all directions in panic.
"My lord, it's indeed Dong Zhuo, I saw his Da Xu, and Xiliang Tie Ride." Han Hao said angrily,
Zhang Yang's subordinates defected, and they sacrificed Mengjin Pass. Dong Zhuo's army immediately drove straight into the camp and attacked the camp overnight. Xiaguan led the army to garrison the area of the river embankment, and under the surprise, the 3,000 army was slaughtered by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The lower officials desperately fought their way out of the encirclement and rushed to report the news, but they were still a step too late. ”
"Zhang Yang?" Wang Kuang asked in surprise,
"Isn't the flamboyant army stationed on the left flank of the battalion? Who arranged for his men to be stationed at Mengjin Pass? ”
"My lord, it's you, it's you......" Han Hao shouted angrily,
"Someone told me that I received letters from Dong Zhuo every day, saying that my uncle was with Dong Zhuo, so the adults suspected that I was colluding with Dong Zhuo, and ordered me to withdraw from the pass and replace it with a flamboyant army. Three thousand people, three thousand brothers, they all died in battle, they were all killed by Xiliang Tieqi, they died so miserably, they had no power to fight back. ”
"No, I didn't ......" Wang Kuang was shocked and frightened, and said loudly,
"I ordered Zitai (Liu Xun) to send someone to garrison, how could he become a flamboyant person?" Han Hao was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood, and immediately gritted his teeth in anger,
"Liu Xun, bastard. Last time he was defeated by Yu Poison in Shanyang and suffered heavy losses, this time in order to preserve his strength, he must fake your order and let Zhang Yang send someone to guard the pass. Zhang Yang is an honest man, no scheming, and enthusiastic, where would he have thought that this was Liu Xun's troublemaker. Wang Kuang's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted,
"Liu Xun, I'm going to kill you." The iron horse is like a rolling torrent, pouring down with the momentum of the river bursting the embankment, and it is unstoppable.
The iron cavalry soldiers raised their weapons and roared wildly, invincible. Lu Bu's halberd waved, wantonly devouring the living beings, and the heads flew in the snowflakes.
A smear of steaming blood turned into a miserable drop of blood in the air. Suddenly, a familiar roar came from a distance.
"Formation, formation...... Brothers, fight to the death, fight to the death......" Lu Bu's heart trembled, he slammed the horse's belly, raised his halberd and shouted: "Go, kill with me......" A group of guards echoed in unison, and the horses followed closely behind, like flying away.
Zhang Yang pierced through the enemy soldier with a shot, followed up and cut off the head with a knife, blood splattered everywhere. Several enemy soldiers were ferocious, shouted up, Zhang Yang was stabbed three times in a row, and then was kicked away, and an enemy soldier rose into the air, and the bloody spear was aimed at Zhang Yang's throat and stabbed fiercely.
Zhang Yang's eyes were about to split, he raised his knife to meet him, and opened his mouth to let out a wild howl,
"Die......" A halberd slashed through the air, and the scream of the thorn carried the flying snowflakes, and in an instant pierced the body in the air.
The enemy soldier screamed miserably, and his sturdy body slammed into Zhang Yang with the huge impact of the halberd.
"Puff ......" The sword pierced through it, and at the same time, the spear in the enemy's hand grazed Zhang Yang's neck and whistled into the snow with a slip of blood.
Zhang Yang was knocked and flew upside down again, and at the moment when he was planted in the snow, he saw a familiar figure and heard a familiar roar,
"Brother, hold on, I'll save you......" Zhang Yang trembled, tears blurred his eyes in an instant, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted into the air.
Lu Bu galloped wildly, his war knife flew up and down, and he chopped seven people in a row.
"Surround me, surround me, kill them, don't leave a ......" Xiliang soldiers suddenly realized that it was the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry who was chasing them, and they couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and scolded loudly one by one, each raising his weapon and fighting back bravely.
One of the team shouted angrily: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, and the people of the state are ...... back" Lu Bu did not wait for the trumpeter to raise the trumpet, and the war knife had already been thrown out of his hand, nailing the trumpeter to the horse.
A Xiliang soldier raised his spear on his horse and stabbed straight at him. Lu Bu couldn't dodge, grabbed the spear and fell off the horse.
The Xiliang soldier was dragged off his horse by him, and before he could stand up, he was kicked in the head by Lu Bu, who was flying over.
Several Xiliang soldiers rushed towards Zhang Yang, who was lying motionless on the ground. Lu Bu roared and ran wildly,
"Ziyun...... Ziyun ......, "A Xiliang soldier turned around and chopped it with a knife, Lu Bu didn't avoid it, and his body was like flying.
Before the battle knife could be chopped off, Lu Bu's huge body had already knocked the Xiliang soldier into the air. More Xiliang soldiers pounced.
Lu Buhu roared, smashed one to death with a punch head-on, followed by punches and kicks, killed four people in a row, and the last person was grabbed by him and thrown into the air.
"Ziyun, hide quickly......" Zhang Yang slowly woke up from his coma, Lu Bu's hoarse cry rushed straight into his ears, Zhang Yang didn't think about it, he instinctively jumped up, stumbled forward and crawled forward.
Two rows of sharp crossbow arrows were nailed into the snow where Zhang Yang had just fallen. Lu Bu roared excitedly, running faster.
A halberd was inserted upside down on the ground, Lu Bu pulled it up with one hand, and then the halberd was stationed, and the whole person rose into the air, jumped a few steps into the air, and flew up to a galloping ownerless war horse.
The man is on the horse, the halberd is in the hand, and no one can stop its sharpness. Lu Bu killed several people in a row, and the horse caught up with Zhang Yang, who was lying in the snow and dying.
"Brother Fengxian, I can't do it, you kill me, give me a good time." Zhang Yang grabbed Lu Bu's big hand and pleaded painfully.
"Brother, as long as I live, you can't die......" Lu Bu put on his back and turned over his horse,
"Go, go east, go east all the way...... a group of guards surrounded them and flew away. In the early morning, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and the cold wind became more intense.
Dong Zhuo stopped his horse and gasped violently. Li Dao came on horseback,
"My lord, this battle was a complete victory, the 20,000 troops of Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and Liu Xun were all killed by us, should we continue to pursue the remnants in the direction of Wenxian, or retreat to Mengjin?"
"Retreat, return to Luoyang immediately." Dong Zhuo dusted off the hoarfrost on his beard, panting and asked,
"Can you catch that rebellion?"
"Nope." Li Wei replied,
"The speed of the iron cavalry was too fast, and the rear infantry could not keep up in time, so a large number of enemy troops took advantage of the chaos to flee. Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Liu Xun, and Han Hao were not caught. Dong Zhuo snorted dissatisfiedly.
Soon, Dong Yue, Li Su, Lu Bu, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others gathered one after another. Dong Zhuo looked at everyone and said with a smile,
"Yuan Shao suffered a heavy blow from this, his strength was drastically reduced, and the threat from the Hanoi direction was basically gone. If nothing else, there should be no big battle in the direction of Luoyang. Then he pointed to Lu Bu and Zhang Ji and said,
"Go south at once. In this attack, we used almost all the troops around Luoyang, if Sun Jian and Yan Liang saw the flaw, took the opportunity to defeat Hu Zhen, and forced Dagu Pass, we would be a little troublesome. I don't want them to go to the end right now. Lu Bu hesitated, bowed down and said: "My lord, we rushed five hundred miles from Yangzhai and Luyang to Luoyang, and then attacked the enemy army in Heyang overnight, the soldiers are tired and urgently need to rest, I beg your lord to ......"
"Nope." Dong Zhuo shook his hand and said,
"Hurry back. Sun Jian is a fierce general, and Yan Liang is a fierce general among fierce generals. Yan Liang killed Liu Jing and Li Meng, and we can't let him kill Hu Zhen anymore. You immediately return to the area of Luyang and Yangzhai, and be sure to block Sun Jian and Yan Liang outside Henan Yin. ”
"You also return to Tongguan immediately." Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Yue and Li Su, and smiled kindly,
"After arriving at Tongguan, take a good rest, you have been too tired lately." Jump to
