The majestic Xiao Guan is bathed in the dark night, just like a hero who is proud of the world and wears a black coat to stand on the top of the mountain, which is even more majestic and majestic.

In the open space in front of the pass, more than a dozen piles of firewood scattered here and there burned violently, and the scorching light illuminated the front of the pass. The soldiers on duty leaned against the city wall, some bowed their heads and pretended to sleep, some were bored, and some were whispering.

Suddenly, from the depths of the darkness came an intermittent, faintly audible roar.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately became alert, and everyone walked to the edge of the city wall and looked into the dark distance.

The roar grew clearer and louder, and the soldiers seemed to see a bloodthirsty beast screaming and pounced.

"Drumming...... Drumming ......"

"The Hu people are here...... The Hu people are coming......"

The soldiers suddenly shouted and scattered in all directions, and the frightened and terrible shouts tore through the silence of the night in an instant.

The low and rapid sound of war drums rose into the sky, and Xiao Guan boiled in an instant. The soldiers in the pass rushed out of the house one after another, and ran up the stone steps to the left and right as fast as they could.

The military marquis Zhao Ye stood on the city wall panting, holding a leather armor in one hand and a war knife in the other, listening attentively.

The roar was earth-shattering, as if tens of thousands of cavalry were approaching at full speed, and he even felt the solid walls under his feet tremble with the roar.

"My lord, the Hu people are here, it's the Hu people who are coming......" The guards who followed him shouted in alarm.

Zhao Ye shook his head, looked back at the soldiers running back and forth on the city wall, and shouted, "Light the torch!" ”

"Order the left, center, and right Santun to prepare for battle!"

"My lord, should we ask Gaoping City for help?"

"Asking for help?" Zhao Ye smiled dumbly.

He handed the war knife in his hand to the guard, and slowly put on the leather armor, "What reinforcements are there in Gaoping City?" Lord Taishou is personally in battle, but there are only more than 1,000 people, and he is useless. He pointed to the distance of the pass and said with a wry smile, "Our reinforcements are in Gaopingchuan." If it is the Xianbei people who come, it means that we have no reinforcements, just our 500 people. ”

"What about the cavalry of Gao Pingchuan? were all killed by Xianbei people? The guard asked in surprise.

Zhao Ye smiled sadly and said, "Wait a minute, we'll know." ”

He took the sword from the hand of his guard, suddenly drew the knife and raised it high, and roared wildly: "Brothers, the war has begun......"

＝＝＝

In the darkness of the night, a black battle flag suddenly rushed into the flames.

Immediately after, countless cavalry soldiers rushed out of the darkness.

At the pass, the Han soldiers cheered in unison.

"The Wind and Cloud Iron Rider is the Wind and Cloud Iron Rider......"

Zhao Ye took a long breath and scolded loudly: "Running back overnight, I want to scare people to death." ”

"Open and close the door!"

＝＝＝

Koji Yi took the lead and rushed into Xiao Pass.

"Order Lord Heng to immediately lead his troops to Shimen Pass."

"Send the order down, and call the storm and sand to me."

Zhao Ye ran down the city wall with a smile on his face, raised his hand and shouted: "Lord Koji, Lord Koji......"

Koji Yi jumped over and laughed: "Zhao Junhou, did it scare you?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Ye smiled, "I was worried that you would be eaten by the Xianbei people just now. ”

"Haha, it's not that easy." Koji Yi said, "The army of Helian and Tuoba Feng has arrived at Gaopingchuan. ”

Zhao Ye was stunned, "How did they come here?" How many people? ”

"If they come, there will be 120,000."

Zhao Ye gasped.

"Open the arsenal and get all the weapons out." Koji Yi waved the horsewhip in his hand and said loudly: "After dawn, the Xianbei people will come." ”

＝＝＝

The wind and sand carried the heart fox, nine sheepskins, and chopping horses rushed into the pass.

"You take your headquarters to Muxia Pass." Koji Yi looked at the three of them and said sternly, "Don't violate military discipline again, otherwise, even if Lord Li comes, I will do the same." ”

Tempest Sand snorted and didn't speak. Nine sheepskin hippie smiled and agreed.

"I'm going to stay in Xiaoguan." Xinhu said, "There is not necessarily a battle in Muxia. ”

"If you don't fight, you won't go to Muxia Pass?"

Koji Yi glanced at Xinhu dissatisfied, and said, "Muxia Pass is the closest to Gaoping City, if the Xianbei people break through Muxia Pass and directly hit Gaoping City, they will trap us in Xiaoguan and Shimen Pass, and at that time, we will have no way to live." ”

"Since Muxia Pass is more important than Xiao Pass, then adults go to guard Muxia Pass, and we will guard Xiao Pass." Tempest Sand said unceremoniously.

Ko Yi's face turned cold, "If you didn't rush out in Gaopingchuan, and it was still an army of eight thousand people, why not change us?" ”

"Speaking of which, it's still Xiao Guan who is important." Chopping the horse muttered unhappily, "Xiao Guan is lost, the door of Guanzhong is wide open, do you think we don't know?" You want to be greedy for yourself, right? ”

Koji Yi's lungs exploded, and he roared loudly: "If you lose Muxia Pass, you will die there, and none of you will come back." ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The Son of Heaven put down the book in his hand, looked at Zhang Wen who was kneeling on the ground with a stern expression, and said angrily: "The Hu people are about to kill Xiao Guan, but what about our army? Where is our army? He picked up the bamboo slip in his hand and slammed it to the ground, "Look at it, look at it yourself, this is Anding County's Taishou Kong Chang's call for help." ”

The Son of Heaven stood up and shouted loudly: "This is not a concerto, this is Kong Aiqing's blood and tears, this is Kong Aiqing's last words, and this is the accumulated white bones of the soldiers and civilians of the Western Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty." ”

"You say, why are our reinforcements still on the way? Why did the Hu people invade, and our army was still in Chang'an City? ”

Zhang Wen slowly raised his head and said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, in the past few months, the ministers and the Taiwei Mansion have been busy with His Majesty's return to Jizhou to worship their ancestors, and the border military affairs are all in charge of the Great General and the Great General's Mansion, please check your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven's face became more and more ugly. Zhang Wen's words directly hit him to the point, making Tianzi feel very embarrassed. However, Zhang Wen's words are indeed true, and he can't find an excuse to get angry if he wants to. He shifted his gaze to He Jin, the general standing on the side.

He Jin smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, in February, the Xingyang thief Xi Zhi rebelled, and the minister and the general's mansion both went to the tiger prison, and it was not until March that the general He completely quelled the rebellion, and the minister returned to Luoyang. He looked at Zhang Wen, sneered, and continued, "Your Majesty, when the Hu people invaded in March, the minister was in the tiger prison. At that time, both the minister and the general's office repeatedly suggested that the Taiwei should immediately send troops to Beidi County, but the Taiwei and the Taiwei Mansion insisted that the direction of the Hu people's attack was to merge the states, which caused a delay in the recruitment of troops, so that the situation in the western Xinjiang is now extremely critical. ”

The Son of Heaven stared at Zhang Wen with small eyes.

"Your Majesty, now that the Hu people have penetrated nearly thousands of miles into the territory of my Great Han Kingdom, and several border counties have been lost, Lord Taiwei and Taiwei Mansion have unshirkable responsibility." He Miao, the general of the cavalry, said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Taiwei and Taiwei Mansion are not familiar with military affairs, whether it is in Xiliang to quell the rebellion or to deal with the invasion of the Hu people, they have repeatedly made command mistakes and delayed the fighters. Now, the Xiliang rebels have risen again, and the Hu people have burned, killed, and plundered in our border county, which is all related to the mediocrity and incompetence of Lord Taiwei and Taiwei Mansion. The minister believed that in the current critical situation, all the military affairs under the control of the Taiwei Mansion should be handed over to the General's Mansion to be handled with full authority. ”

The corners of Zhang Wen's mouth lifted a hint of ridicule, glanced at the He brothers with disdain, and said again: "Your Majesty, Xingyang and Zhongmu are only tens of thousands of displaced people who are in rebellion, but the general has requisitioned almost all the northern army to Henan Mansion to quell the rebellion. ”

"Lord Taiwei, you still have Li Zhonglang's 70,000 troops to recruit." He Miao said with a smile.

Zhang Wen laughed, with a look of contempt on his face, he didn't speak, he didn't bother to talk like this idiot. He Jin bowed his head and was silent. He Miao looked at the several ministers around him looking at him with sarcastic eyes, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly quietly took two steps back and hid behind He Jin.

＝＝＝

The Son of Heaven thought the same thing, but he saw that Zhang Wen had a look of disdain on his face, and he was not easy to ask, so he looked up and looked around, wanting to find a minister to explain the problem. He stared at Zongzheng Liu Yu and gestured with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, 40,000 of Li Zhonglang's 70,000 troops are Hu Qi, these people are all barbaric people, and they only serve Li Zhonglang as the commander. The Taiwei Mansion and the Great General's Mansion can mobilize Li Zhonglang, but they can't mobilize these Hu soldiers. Once an order is forcibly issued and a mutiny is provoked, no one can afford to take this responsibility. What's more, Li Zhonglang recruited the soldiers of Huang Zhongqiang and Xian Lingqiang as the Han army, which was also an expedient measure, and he was afraid that after he was put back, these people would rebel again, so he thought of such an emergency solution. ”

"To be honest, raising 40,000 Hu cavalry is a huge amount of military money, but what if you don't raise them? You can't let them be rebels anymore, can you? ”

"Hu cavalry can't be recruited, and the Han army stationed in the same battalion can't be recruited." Liu Yu said helplessly, "We are worried that the Hu people will misunderstand the purpose of our army transfer and suddenly rebel, which will be troublesome." In the past, we killed too many Hu people, and the Hu people always had a deep fear of us, and they would raise their swords against us at the slightest disturbance. This kind of thing has happened too much in the past, and we can't ignore it. ”

"Therefore, we have written to Your Majesty several times, begging Your Majesty to recall Li Zhonglang back to Xiliang. As long as Li Zhonglang goes to Xiliang, this soldier can be recruited and transferred in any way, but ......"

"Bastard, is it still my responsibility for this Xianbei person to hit the Northland?" The Son of Heaven was furious, raised his hand and shouted, "How can this be true! ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Liu means that Li Zhonglang stayed in Jizhou for too long, and as a result, the time for the transfer of troops was delayed." Zhang Rang stood up at the right time, bowed down and said, "The minister thinks that Lord Taiwei is not at fault in this matter, on the contrary, in order to deal with tens of thousands of traitors, the general actually mobilized all the northern troops and used a knife to kill chickens, which resulted in Lord Taiwei having no soldiers to adjust, which is the main reason for the critical military situation in Western Xinjiang." ”

He Jin was expressionless, his eyes looked at the ground, as if he hadn't heard. Zhang Rang spoke for Zhang Wen, just because he was afraid that the Son of Heaven would remove Zhang Wen from his position as a lieutenant and let He Jin take charge of the military affairs alone. At this time, several ministers standing in the imperial study understood Zhang Rang's thoughts, so everyone lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, and none of them spoke, allowing Zhang Rang to use the topic to play.

"Back then, Duxiang Hou Huangfu Song pacified a million Yellow Turban ant thieves, but it only took 50,000 northern troops, and Zhonglang General Li Hong defeated the ant thief Zhang Niujiao's hundreds of thousands of troops with only 10,000 iron horses." Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said, "The general is brave and brave, and tens of thousands of Xingyang thieves in Pingding District actually mobilized 30,000 northern troops and 20,000 county soldiers from Henan Province. ”

When the Son of Heaven saw Zhang Rang bluntly and secretly scolding the general He Jin for being incompetent, his heart was happy, and the look on his face suddenly eased a lot.

Situ Cui Lie and Sikong Xu Xiang took the opportunity to knock on the side, and together with Zhang Rang, they made fun of He Jin and He Miao, and said a lot of good things for Zhang Wen.

Lu Zhi also got up and played: "Your Majesty, General Dong Zhuo's army is rushing to Lingzhou, as long as he cuts off the retreat of the Xianbei people, the Xianbei people can only retreat, therefore, we can also let Li Zhonglang retreat appropriately, so as to paralyze the Xianbei people and cover General Dong Zhuo's troops to reach Lingzhou and Shanghe smoothly." Therefore, although Li Zhonglang's various units have not yet arrived in Gaoping, they will not have much impact on the entire battle situation, and Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. ”

"In addition, if the Xianbei people capture Gaoping and Chaona, the minister thinks that it doesn't matter for the time being, we still have Liupan Mountain to block it. The more fiercely the Xianbei attacked, the farther away from the Yellow River, the longer the retreat, and the more certain we were that we would defeat them. ”

"Defeat the Xianbei people?" The Son of Heaven frowned and asked suspiciously, "How do you defeat them?" ”

"It depends on how General Dong and Li Zhonglang use their troops." Lu Zhi said confidently, "General Dong has fought with the Hu people all his life and has rich experience. Although Li Zhonglang is young, he is good at winning with odds. Both of them are brave generals of our Han Kingdom, and with them in the western frontier to resist the enemy, it is a matter of time before they defeat the Xianbei people. The minister thought that His Majesty should trust them and provide them with abundant food and weapons, which was the key to victory. ”

The Son of Heaven was at ease, and his mood immediately improved, and he beckoned to Zhang Wen, who was kneeling on the ground, "Aiqing, get up." ”

＝＝＝

"When it comes to Xiliang to appease the traitors, Aiqing has a plan?"

"In this matter, the minister is about to ask Your Majesty." Zhang Wen said unhurriedly: "Going to Xiliang to appease is a big matter, and non-idlers can't do it." The minister recommended Sima He Hao of the General's Mansion as a pacification envoy and went to Xiliang. ”

He Jin obviously didn't expect Zhang Wen to recommend He Hao, he glanced at Zhang Wen with a little surprise, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Ho Hao?" The Son of Heaven whispered for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "Oh, it's him." ”

"Your Majesty, the rebel leader Wang Guo was originally a tycoon in Longxi, and there are many capable people under him, and the most respected one is Huang Yan. Huang Yan once served as the Taishou of Jiuquan, and was later recruited by the general to serve the imperial history of the general's mansion. Zhang Wen looked at He Jin, smiled slightly, and continued, "Last autumn, Huang Yan was suddenly dismissed by the general. Strangely, Huang Yan, who was dismissed, refused the conquest of Sikong Mansion, but hurried to Longxi to instigate the Longxi Dahao Kingdom to rebel against the imperial court and attack Hanyang. ”

The Son of Heaven stared at He Jin, who was calm and composed, with suspicious eyes.

"The minister thinks that with He Hao's courage and reputation, and with his and Huang Yan's colleagues, this trip to Xiliang to appease him will not only have no worries about his life, but also successfully complete His Majesty's will."

There was silence in the imperial study. All the ministers looked at He Jin, waiting for his reaction.

Recently, there have been rumors in Luoyang that the general and the Xiliang traitors have colluded, and the Son of Heaven naturally listened to the words of the regular attendants, but this is also a rumor, and there is no evidence. Zhang Wen suddenly threw out this old Jiuquan at this time, and his intention was self-evident.

The kingdom and Han Sui are both Han people, both are famous scholars, in the current situation of the Xianbei people's large-scale invasion, the most basic righteousness still has to be spoken, otherwise it will lose part of the people's hearts, so whoever goes to Xiliang to appease now has a great success. But He Hao is a bit special, he is the Sima of the General's Mansion, and He Jin's right-hand man, and if the appeasement is completed, the rumors in Luoyang will immediately intensify, because the smooth appeasement itself is a powerful evidence, and the impact on the general is obvious. If it can't be appeased, it will be a problem of the face of the General's Mansion, and it will be difficult to guarantee He Hao's own life. If He Hao died, it would be a blow to He Jin's forces.

He is in a dilemma and hesitates. Zhang Wen got this news, it is possible that someone in the mansion leaked it, and he was also a person who participated in the matter, otherwise how would Zhang Wen know that Huang Yan was not dead? But it is also possible that Huang Yan leaked it himself? After Huang Yan was defeated in Yicheng, he expected to kill him, so he had a lot of guards and escaped assassination several times. When He Hao arrived in Xiliang, would Huang Yan be angry and kill He Hao?

"Aiqing......" The Son of Heaven saw that He Jin didn't react at all, and asked, "Aiqing is unwilling?" ”

He Jin was helpless, bowed down and said, "The minister's order." ”

＝＝＝

After saying a lot of boring figures, Wang Hanjuan began to complain.

"Your Majesty, now all the states and counties are spring ploughing, all are managing and dredging channels, and they are all asking for money, the 200 million money that Your Majesty promised to allocate to Youzhou a few years ago has not yet been cashed, and several states and counties on the border are now fighting, and the concert for military funds is like snowflakes, and the ministers dare not open it now."

"Aiqing, don't mention borrowing money again." The Son of Heaven immediately interrupted him and said unceremoniously, "I don't have any money. ”

Wang Han knelt down and said again: "Your Majesty, Lord Jingzhao Yin Gai has gathered 100,000 people for the war in Western Xinjiang, and he is urging the ministers to ask for money every day, but the ministers are really powerless, please understand the difficulties of the ministers." ”

"100,000 people?" The Son of Heaven was surprised and asked, "Do you want 100,000 people?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is a distance of thousands of miles from Chang'an to Gaoping, and the road is extremely difficult, without a large number of people, it is difficult to send grain and grass to the battlefield as scheduled." Zhang Wen also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, even if Li Zhonglang's army all arrives at the battlefield, the food, grass and weapons they carry with them are very limited, and they can only support them for three to four days at most. If the army has no food, grass and weapons, it will be a dead end. ”

"Strange thing." The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes, looked around at the ministers, and said very suspiciously, "During the Battle of Yicheng, why didn't I hear that so many people were wanted? ”

"At the time of the Battle of Yicheng, Li Zhonglang only had an army of 50,000, and Li Zhonglang succeeded in the first battle and did not fight the rebels continuously." Liu Yu knelt down and said, "But this time is different, this time Li Zhonglang is leading the troops to block, what is fighting is consumption, what is compared is troops and money, whoever can hold on to the fight can win, so a steady stream of grain and grass and weapons is the primary condition to ensure that Li Zhonglang blocks the Xianbei people in Gaoping." Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to win this battle, 100,000 people may not be enough. ”

Situ Cui Lie and Sikong Xu Xiang also hurriedly advised. The Son of Heaven looked at them suspiciously, pacing back and forth, not speaking.

＝＝＝

At this time, He Jin suddenly took out a scroll of music, and handed it to the little yellow door Jian Shuo who was waiting on the side in full view of everyone. Jian Shuo put the chapter on the table and spread it out.

The Son of Heaven didn't look at it, but pointed to the music and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He Jin bowed and said: "Your Majesty, in order to resist the invasion of the Hu people, the imperial court has spent a lot of military funds and emptied the treasury, but some people are corrupt and bent the law in it for personal gain. ”

Several ministers shook their heads when they heard this. When is this all this, and these trivial things.

The Son of Heaven snorted coldly a few times and asked, "Who are they?"

"Many Peng Shi of the Taiwei Mansion took advantage of the opportunity of fighting in the western Xinjiang and raising grain and grass to accept bribes in private, shoddy ones, buy them cheaply and sell them expensively, and make amazing profits from them." He Jin said loudly, "The minister thinks that if these corrupt officials are not eliminated first, we will not be able to win this battle no matter how much money we have." ”

The ministers were shocked. This He Jin, it turns out that he has a backhand.

Zhang Wen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, what the general has done, the minister immediately returned to the house to investigate carefully, and begged Your Majesty to give the minister a little time." ”

The Son of Heaven took a closer look at He Jin and said, "Forget it, Aiqing avoids it." The matter was handed over to the Tingwei Mansion to deal with. ”

"Your Majesty, the war in Western Xinjiang is tense, so let's discuss this matter later." Lu Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Lord Taiwei and the head of the Taiwei Mansion are in charge of the military affairs of the Quartet, and bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the safety of our Great Han Kingdom. Your Majesty, for the sake of my Dahan Jiangshan Society......"

"If it's for the sake of my Great Han River, Mountain, and Society, the Taiwei Mansion shouldn't be guarded and stolen." The Son of Heaven angrily waved his hand to interrupt Lu Zhi's pleading, and said loudly, "The affairs of Lord Taiwei and the master of Taiwei Mansion will be handled by Shang Shutai from now on. ”

He Jin was secretly proud, and suddenly heard the Son of Heaven say that Shang Shutai had full authority to handle military affairs, and his face suddenly froze, his heart was cold, and his mind was filled with loss and anger in an instant, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Several important ministers looked at the Son of Heaven in surprise, and it was a little difficult to accept the words of the Son of Heaven for a while.

"Your Majesty, according to the law of the Great Han Dynasty......" Situ Cui Lie whispered.

"I am the law of the Great Han." The Son of Heaven angrily slammed his fist on the table, pulling his neck and shouting, "What do I say?" ”

The ministers were shocked and fell to their knees.

"The Marquis of the capital township, Fu Song, is the order of Shangshu, and immediately go to Shangshutai to deal with military affairs."

＝＝＝

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to borrow money from Your Majesty." Wang Han saw the Son of Heaven rushing out of the door angrily, so he jumped up in a hurry, and grabbed the sleeve of the Son of Heaven's robe, "Your Majesty, if you don't have money, what will the minister do tomorrow?" ”

The Son of Heaven struggled a few times, but he couldn't pull it off, and he couldn't help but scold.

Wang Han didn't let go, and begged bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you don't lend money to the minister, you can send the minister to Beisi Prison." If there is no money tomorrow, the minister really has nowhere to go. ”

"Why?" The Son of Heaven stopped scolding and asked curiously, "You can go home with your illness." ”

"Your Majesty, the people who ask for money from the minister are not only crowded in the Dasi Nong Mansion, but even the minister's house is full of rooms, and the minister really has nowhere to hide." Wang Han tugged at the sleeve of the Son of Heaven's robe and said pitifully, "The minister implores His Majesty to lend a little money to the Dasi Nong Mansion, right?" ”

The Son of Heaven was helpless and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

Wang Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and said loudly and busily: "One billion money, Your Majesty, only borrow one billion money." ”

"What do you say? Billion dollars. The Son of Heaven's eyes widened in surprise and exclaimed, "How can I have a billion dollars? ”

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

The wolf smoke billowed from the Muxia Gorge, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

After Helian and Tuoba Feng led an army of 60,000 to Muxia Pass, they immediately began to attack. The Xianbei people obviously made full preparations for the attack on Muxia Pass, and they had a cowhide bag in their hands, loaded it with soil and threw it directly under the city, building a soil slope as high as the city wall.

Just when the Xianbei people were working hard to encircle and build the soil slope, Duan Xuan ran into the Muxia Pass with a thousand reinforcements. The Han army was bitter when the Xianbei people's dense arrow array shot, and Duan Xuan tried to lead people to rush up the city wall several times, but they were all shot back.

The Xianbei people began a frantic attack along the dirt slope. The Han army faced the black and oppressive enemy army under the city, without fear, everyone regarded death as home, and rushed to kill one by one, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.

＝＝＝

The wind and sand led more than 6,000 people on horseback.

The wolf smoke on the Muxia Pass rushed straight to Xiaohan, and it could be seen more than ten miles away, which was a signal for the Han army to ask for help.

"Haha, I didn't expect there to be a battle in Muxia Pass." The heart fox screamed excitedly, and yelled again and again: "Brothers, hurry, hurry......"

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, tell Muxia Pass, reinforcements will arrive immediately, arrive immediately." The wind and sand whip whipped wildly, and I couldn't wait to ride the clouds and fog, and my armpits had wings.

Hundreds of horns sounded at the same time, and the low and passionate sound of the trumpets echoed among the mountains, far, far away.

＝＝＝

Duan Xuan was covered in blood and fought fiercely. He holds a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and he is invincible.

The warrior of the Tuoba clan greeted Duan Xuan with a rainbow, his war knife was thick and heavy, and the wind and thunder were agitating between the swings, he slashed Duan Xuan seventeen knives in a row, and he smashed Duan Xuan's shield, cut Duan Xuan's war knife, and then kicked Duan Xuan out with one kick.

Duan Xuan spurted blood from his mouth and staggered to his feet. Just then, he heard the sound of a horn coming from behind the gate. Duan Xuan suspected that he had misheard, so he shook his head and listened attentively again.

Through the sound of fierce fighting on the city walls, he clearly heard the horn of reinforcements arriving.

In an instant, Duan Xuan's exhausted body suddenly gave birth to infinite strength, he stretched out his foot to pick up the spear on the ground, raised the spear and roared: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, and the Fengyun Iron Cavalry has arrived......"

"Wind and Cloud Iron Ride to ......"

The morale of the Han soldiers who fell into the melee was suddenly boosted, and everyone cheered and shouted loudly while fighting hard.

"Kill ......" Duan Xuan held a spear in both hands, like a bloodthirsty tiger, and once again slaughtered into the enemy group.

＝＝＝

Tuoba Feng, who was commanding the siege of the city under the pass, suddenly heard bursts of cheers coming from the city wall, and his heart was shocked.

"Are Han reinforcements coming?"

"Back to my lord, the soldiers of the Han army are shouting at the iron cavalry, and their morale has risen sharply."

The anger in Tuoba Feng's heart suddenly erupted uncontrollably.

"Order, soldiers of the personal guard battalion, follow me to the city wall."

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Xiao Guan.

The two armies above and below the city were tense and on the verge of breaking out.

Lu Ri pointed to the big silk upstairs in Xiao Guancheng, and said to Yan Liyou with a smile: "Wolf head, you say, how many sheep is that big flag worth?" ”

Yan Liyou squinted his eyes, touched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Old Niu, do you want it?" I'll sell it to you, and you give me a war horse. ”

"You're insane poor." Ritsuri laughed and said, "How can a broken flag be worth a horse?" ”

"And the flagpole below, I'll sell it to you."

"Okay, okay, just a horse." Ritsuri glanced at him and said, "Wolf head, it depends on your ability, if I grab the ...... first"

"Don't worry, the soldiers of my wolf clan are all warriors with one block of ten, and it is not easy to grab a broken flag."

"Okay, let's see." Ritsuri said with a smile.

He raised the whip in his hand and waved it lightly twice to the horn soldier behind him, "Blow the trumpet, siege the city." ”

＝＝＝

Xu Rong, Nie Xiao, and Lou Lu led the iron cavalry to Linjing City one day in advance. On the same day, Xin Zeng, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, also walked into the city with 5,000 soldiers.

In the big camp, after Xian Yufu and Xu Rong introduced Nie Xiao, Lou Lu, Sheyingtong, Lei Zi and other leading generals to Xin Zeng, everyone sat around and discussed the war.

"Brother Yu Xing, Lord Li asked you to stay, is there any other arrangement for us?" Xu Rong asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'll tell you about the court's strategy first." Xian Yufu spread out the map and explained the direction of Dong Zhuo's army and the intention of the imperial court to attack back and forth.

"My lord thinks that if we throw the existing army into the Gaoping area in batches to block the Xianbei people from moving south, the casualties will be amazing, and there is no meaning, and the city that should be lost will still be lost, so he wants to lure the enemy deep and lead the Xianbei people to Liupan Mountain."

"Retreat to Liupan Mountain?" Xu Rong pinched his huge hand, thought for a long time, and said, "If Your Majesty knows, you will cut off his head." ”
