Yan Liang's face was grim, he looked at Lu Bu with a wary expression, snorted lightly, and asked, "Which military horse in Hanoi are you?" ”

Lu Bu stood next to the war horse, bowed respectfully, and said again: "Xia Guan is the master of the account of Lord Ding Yuanding, the commander of the Wumeng Commander of Hanoi County. ”

Yan Liang sat upright on his horse and glanced at him. Lu Bu is about thirty years old, nine feet tall, slightly darker, with a long face and short beard, high cheekbones, and a pair of calm and resolute eyes under thick eyebrows, powerful and strong. Yan Liang sneered and asked, "You came all the way with soldiers and horses, what's the matter?" The Yellow Turban Thief in Montenegro has come down again? ”

Lu Bu smiled humbly and replied, "Your Excellency, Lord Du Wei is in the army. ”

Yan Liang raised his eyes to look at the cavalry army in the distance, waved his hand and said, "You call him, I'll ask him." ”

Lu Bu agreed, and flew off the horse.

Li Wei handed Cai Yan to Arc Ding, took a closer look at Cai Yong's injury, and after whispering a few words of comfort, he said to Arc Ding and Qi Shen: "If anything happens, the two of you will take Mr. Cai first, and Zi and I will make a good decision." "Arc Ding and abandon Shen Shen to receive the order. Li Wei beckoned to Pang De and He Feng, and the three of them rushed out of the array and came to Yan Liang's side.

"Zishan, whose soldiers and horses are they?"

"Hanoi Wu Meng Du Lieutenant Ding Yuan." Yan Liang said, "The soldiers and horses of Hanoi Prefecture are now under the control of the general, so there should be nothing wrong. ”

Li Wei's face changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "Ding Yuan is the general's person. We ran so fast that he caught up with him, there must have been a plan. ”

Yan Liang was taken aback and looked back at He Feng. He Feng was stunned by his big eyes, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "My lord, this has nothing to do with me, I don't know about it......"

Yan Liang snorted coldly and said loudly: "You and Ling Ming go back and prepare for a bloody battle." ”

＝＝＝

Ding Yuan was in his forties, with a ruddy complexion, a round face and a long beard, and he looked like a pampered person. Accompanied by Lu Bu, he ran over with a smile on his face. A few people exchanged pleasantries a little, and Li Wei asked with a smile: "Lord Ding, on such a cold day, you still took soldiers and horses to Montenegro to kill the Yellow Turban thieves?" ”

Ding Yuan smiled: "Where, where." At the behest of His Majesty, Xia Guan led his troops to inspect the banks of the Yellow River and arrest Cai Yong, a prisoner of the imperial court. ”

Li Wei pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, Cai Yong escaped? That's a good thing, God has eyes, God has eyes. He glanced at Ding Yuan and asked, "Your Excellency received His Majesty's decree so quickly?" ”

Ding Yuan nodded, took out the holy decree from his arms and handed it to Li Wei, "Lord Sima, forgive me, although the lower officials are subject to the control of General Zhenbei, but Your Majesty's will ......"

After Li Wei finished reading the holy decree, the color on his face was ugly. The holy decree said that Cai Yong rescued Li Wei and Black Panther Yicong, and ordered Ding Yuan to go north along the Yellow River, be sure to rob and kill Li Wei, and capture Cai Yong. Sold me out? Li Wei was so angry that he almost scolded. There is no good thing in Luoyang, and now, the magnates in Luoyang have finally found a handle to fight General Zhenbei, and their own black cauldron can be regarded as decided.

Yan Liang's face turned pale after reading the holy decree, he looked at Ding Yuan's triumphant smile, and wanted to slash him with a knife.

"Lord Ding, what do you mean?" Li Wei asked with a smile with a hint of luck.

Ding Yuan smiled so much that his eyes had already narrowed into a slit, "Master Sima, what do you say?" ”

If Ding Yuan killed Li Wei and the Black Panther Yicong and hid Cai Yong in a place that no one knew, he would not only be rewarded by the Son of Heaven and the general, but also win the favor of the scholars. Li Wei secretly sneered and made a gesture to Yan Liang.

"Lord Ding can't disobey the holy decree, and he can't bear the notoriety of killing Mr. Cai, it's really difficult to do." Li Wei pretended to be sympathetic and said, "Lord Ding, I don't think it's better to be like this, you lend me your head......"

Before Li Wei's words fell, Yan Liang's big knife had already slashed into the air, like lightning, roaring away.

Ding Yuan probably didn't expect Li Wei to dare to kill him, let alone Yan Liang's big knife in front of him in the blink of an eye, at this time he still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of terror.

Just as Yan Liang's broadsword was approaching Ding Yuan's neck, a long halberd suddenly appeared, and it violently broke Yan Liang's broadsword with lightning speed.

"When ......" a loud bang exploded in Ding Yuan's ears, Ding Yuan's soul flew away, opened his mouth and let out a frightened scream, and fell under the horse.

Lu Bu's halberd flashed again, flying to pierce Yan Liang's waist ribs. Yan Liang roared at this time, and the big knife in his hand suddenly made a sound of wind and thunder, smashing the halberd.

At this moment, the black panther Yicong sounded the horn of the alarm, and the rapid sound of the horn resounded through the bleak sky.

"Zishan, go, go." Li Wei saw that the assassination could not be completed, and he issued an alarm horn again, hurriedly turned the horse's head, and flew back. Yan Liangdao pointed at Lu Bu, looked at the embarrassed Ding Yuan, and said in a cold voice: "If you want to die, you will attack." ”

＝＝＝

"What's wrong?" Li Wei shouted anxiously, "Is something wrong with Mr. Cai?" ”

"My lord, an army of cavalry is coming from the east." Pang De nervously pointed to a few righteous soldiers who were lying on the ground and listening, and said worriedly, "I don't know if Lord Zhao is here?" ”

Li Wei didn't make a sound. Yan Liang flew back and roared loudly: "The knife is out of the sheath, the arrow is wound, and it is ready to be killed." ”

＝＝＝

Zhao Yun and Lu Xian came galloping with two thousand iron horses.

The Black Panther suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer. Yan Liang and Li Wei hit their horses to catch up.

"Whose soldiers and horses are that?" Zhao Yun asked breathlessly.

"It's Ding Yuan, the commander of Wumeng." Li Wei said with a smile, "Zilong, Zishan and I will leave first, and I will leave the matter here to you." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yun waved his hand at them, and rushed forward.

Cai Yan crouched on the thick back of the arc ding, looked at Zhao Yun who was smiling brightly at the arc ding, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, who is he?" ”

"He is Zhao Yun, the captain of Huben, who killed the thunderstorm in June in Western Xinjiang." Arc Ding said with a smile, "The youngest captain of the Great Han Kingdom. ”

Cai Yan let out an exclamation, and his big eyes looked at Zhao Yun's vigorous back for a moment, and his beautiful face was full of worship.

＝＝＝

The iron horses of the Changshui Battalion were lined up, blocking the spacious gallop road. Zhao Yun held a spear in his hand and stood majestically in front of the army.

Ding Yuan had a headache. In this case, how do you explain when you go back? He was not afraid that Li Hong would trouble him, he was afraid that the general He Jin would blame him. He was able to do this captain, all thanks to He Jin's support, without He Jin, he would not be where he is today. If Li Wei is allowed to take Cai Yong away like this, it will be rumored in the future, and his disgrace will be small, and his official disgrace will be big. On the opposite side is the world-famous Tiger Captain Zhao Yun, it is rumored that he is even more powerful than the Fenwu Captain Yan Liang, it seems that he can't be killed, and once he does it, he not only can't afford to pay for this bit of his family, but also offended Li Hong, the general of Zhenbei. offended this leopard, although he had the care of the great general He Jin, but his life may not be easy.

Ding Yuan thought for a moment, and took Lu Bu to meet him again. He first showed Zhao Yun the holy decree, and then explained that Li Wei and Yan Liang were about to kill him with indiscriminate swinging of the knife.

"My lord, the lower officials are also subordinate to General Zhenbei, we are all generals in the same account, and we must always talk about friendship and reason." Ding Yuan said with a smile, "Lord Zhao, tell me, how do I explain to Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said: "That's it, if you win the gun in my hand, I will make way for you, you continue to chase, if you lose, it can be regarded as an explanation to Your Majesty, how about it?" ”

Ding Yuan looked at the handsome young lieutenant in front of him, and the fire in his heart rose. You're so crazy that you look down on people like that. However, he also admitted that Zhao Yun's method was not bad.

"Feng Xian, then you will accompany the captain to make a few moves." After Ding Yuan finished speaking, he hit his horse and ran back to his main formation without looking back.

Zhao Yun glanced at Lu Bu a few times, and asked with a smile, "What is the name of this adult?" Lu Bu hurriedly bowed his hand and reported his name and official position.

"Where is Lord Lu's house?"

Lu Bu's expression darkened, and he said, "Xiaguan's home is in Jiuyuan, Wuyuan County. ”

"You're a Huns?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise, "Then do you know the Nine Plains Banner King Dusk Gaiting?" ”

"I'm a Han man." Lu Bu said, "I'm not a Hun, and I don't know that damn Dusk Gaiting. ”

Zhao Yun smiled apologetically and said, "That Twilight Getting is dead. ”

"I know." Lu Bu said with a little regret, "It's a pity that I didn't participate in the Western Xinjiang War at the right time, otherwise, I can also kill the enemy and serve the country, so as not to ...... with adults here" He shook his head with a helpless face.

＝＝＝

The drums of war burst into the sky.

Lu Bu held the halberd in his hand, bowed, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, please ......"

Zhao Yun smiled and yelled: "Kill ......"

The two horses galloped wildly, and in the deafening shouts of the soldiers on both sides, the guns and halberds intertwined, making an earth-shattering sound. The two exchanged guns and halberds, and fought more than 20 times in the blink of an eye. Lu Bu was obviously in a bad mood, he didn't have any hope of fighting, he was just dealing with the errand that Shangguan had to explain, but Zhao Yun was getting braver and braver the more he fought, he clearly felt from Lu Bu's halberd that the other party was a strong martial artist, and his strength was not necessarily worse than Yan Liang, so the more he fought, the more excited he became.

"Lord Lu, look at the gun, look at the ......" Zhao Yun's gun was like a swimming dragon, and went straight to Lu Bu's front door, Lu Bu tilted his head slightly, and just wanted to lift the halberd to stab obliquely, but saw a flash of cold light, Zhao Yun's left hand had already drawn a knife in his hand at some point, and flew down. Lu Bu broke out in a cold sweat, his entire body suddenly rose into the air, and the halberd blocked the knife, and he just dodged Zhao Yun's killing blow.

Lu Bu fell to the ground, and took a few steps back to stabilize his body, and this knife finally cut out Lu Bu's fire. He has been in the army for more than ten years, although he has also made some small contributions, and he has also met Ding Yuan, who appreciates him, but he is only a small master so far, look at the hairless young man in front of him, he is already a captain, and he has killed the Hu chief like June Thunder, and his reputation has shocked the world. A breath of resentment suddenly gushed out, am I really not even as good as you in martial arts?

"Kill ......"

Zhao Yunfei dismounted, faced Lu Bu who was screaming, and shouted: "Good come, kill ......"

The two of them were suddenly like two fierce tigers, entangled and fighting, shouting and fighting, and had an endless posture.

"Drumming...... Drumming ......" Ding Yuan raised his hands high, hoarse, "cheer for Lord Lu......"

Lu Xian raised his sword and shouted: "Tiger Ben...... Tiger Ben ......"

The two thousand iron horsemen of the Changshui Battalion echoed in unison: "Tiger Ben...... Tiger Ben ......"

Lu Bu roared like thunder, his momentum was like a rainbow, the halberd swept, forcing Zhao Yun back seven steps in a row, "kill the ......" With a loud shout, Lu Bu's big fist suddenly rushed out of the halberd curtain and roared. Zhao Yun was not afraid of danger, the gun was handed over to his left hand, and his right hand was fisted, and he was smashed head-on.

"......Boom" sounded, and Zhao Yun was punched by Lu Bu and rose into the air, opening his mouth to spurt blood. Lu Bu was also hit in the shoulder socket by Zhao Yun's punch and took three steps back.

"Kill ......" Lu Bu let out a long roar, the tail of the halberd hit the ground, and the person borrowed the power of the halberd to rebound, like a dragon out of the water, stabbing in the air.

Zhao Yun roared, the spear was stationed, and the figure that was in the air suddenly rose three inches, and his right hand drew the knife, like an eagle fighting a rabbit, and slashed down.

Just when the halberd was about to rush into Zhao Yun's body, Lu Bu's heart trembled suddenly, the tip of the halberd suddenly crooked, and the halberd rubbed Zhao Yun's waist ribs obliquely, with a drop of blood, and rushed to the sky, and at this time Zhao Yun's knife had already chopped on Lu Bu's head.

Lu Bu looked at the gray sky, looked at Leng Sensen's war knife, smiled bitterly, and closed his eyes.

At the moment when the war knife chopped through Lu Bu's helmet, Zhao Yun used all his strength to remove the blade, and slashed into Lu Bu's shoulder blade, blood bursting out.

＝＝＝

There was a deathly silence.

Lu Bu stood with his head held high, his long halberd facing the sky, and a war knife was deeply inserted into his shoulder, blood staining his armor red. Zhao Yun stood beside Lu Bu, lifted his spear, and smiled proudly.

"Lord Lu is good at kung fu."

Lu Bu slowly opened his eyes, smiled faintly, reached out and pulled out the war knife on his shoulder, and handed it to Zhao Yun.

"Good kung fu, sir."

Zhao Yun did not take the knife. He walked up to Lu Bu, pulled out his war knife from Lu Bu's waist, and inserted it into his own scabbard.

"Keep it as a souvenir." Zhao Yun said with a smile, "When you go north to attack Hu, I hope you can kill the enemy side by side with Lord Lu." ”

Lu Bu returned his sword to the sheath and said loudly: "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”

The two clasped their fists in salute and turned to leave.

In an instant, the roars of the soldiers on both sides rushed straight into the sky.

＝＝＝

Long Yan was furious.

When the Son of Heaven heard that Sima Li Wei of the Zhenbei General's Mansion had teamed up with the Black Panther Yicong to enter the Beisi Prison and rescued Cai Yong in a grand manner, he immediately jumped like thunder, and urgently ordered all the national soldiers of Henan Prefecture, Hanoi Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture to be dispatched to hunt and kill.

Li Hong, the general of Zhenbei, received the holy decree of the Son of Heaven's heavy responsibility, and hurriedly presented a list of guilt, and at the same time urgently wrote to the Three Dukes' Mansion and the General's Mansion. Li Hong said in a letter to Sifu that everyone did everything, and now you are all pushing it on my head, what do you mean? Tearing your face is no good for anyone. Sifu replied to Li Hong to clarify the facts, saying that this was all framed by the lieutenant officials, and it had nothing to do with them, but please rest assured that General Zhenbei will definitely come to His Majesty to intercede for you, but the salt and iron in Hedong and Bingzhou will also give us some profits?

Cai Yong was rescued, and the Son of Heaven knew that the matter had been leaked, so he scolded the lieutenants, and then gave up the plan to kill He Jin. Now that he has given up, the Son of Heaven has to think about the future. Of course, he knew that Li Hong alone could not save Cai Yong, and there must be generals and those Cai Yong's friends and bureaucrats who participated in this matter. Li Hong is too important to him, but through this incident, he feels that Li Hong's strength alone is not enough to ensure that he can do whatever he wants in Luoyang, he wants an army, an army that is absolutely loyal to him and is still stationed in Luoyang. He had the idea at the beginning of the year, but now, he urgently needs to realize it.

Li Hong listened to Wang Han's suggestion, and came out to borrow a billion money from the Hedong Gate Valve and gave it to His Majesty, at this time, he still took the initiative to calm His Majesty's anger.

When the Son of Heaven saw the money sent by Li Hong, he was in a much better mood. To tell the truth, he was also unwilling to kill Cai Yong, killing Cai Yong angered the scholar, and it would be of no benefit to his deposed heir in the future, and he would also be charged with killing his own teacher, although he was the king of a country, but this was a bit unpleasant anyway.

The ministers continued to come to the table and pleaded with Cai Yong.

Li Hong also continued to play, he advised His Majesty that killing Cai Yong would hurt the hearts of the people of the world, and it would not be conducive to the future succession of the little prince, so it was better to take this opportunity to pardon Cai Yong again, so that the people of the world would appreciate His Majesty's tolerance and benevolence. The pardon of Cai Yong's capital crime can allow him to come to Bingzhou to make meritorious contributions, and he can open a school in Bingzhou, teach and lecture on the scriptures, and educate the homeless people and barbarians, so that the people of the border counties can not only feel His Majesty's mighty imperial grace, but also help the people of the border counties to feel the vast imperial grace of the state, and also help the state to tuntian and the border. If the state is stable, the northern Xinjiang will be stable, and once the northern Xinjiang is stable, His Majesty's Jiangshan Sheji will not be stable.

The Son of Heaven was a little moved and hesitated.

At this time, He Jin passed through Sikong Ding Palace, in the name of the New Year, and gave the Queen Mother a generous gift. Lord Sikong tactfully expressed his intention to ask the Queen Mother to persuade His Majesty to pardon Cai Yong. The Queen Mother has a very good impression of Cai Yong, after all, he is a famous man of the Han Dynasty, and most people respect him. The Queen Mother summoned the Son of Heaven into Yongle Palace, saying that since Cai Daming was unwilling to be the teacher of Dong Hou and the princess, then forget it, after all, he had done a lot of things for the Han Kingdom, and now Taixue still erected the stone scripture he wrote, which contributed a lot, and besides, his life was very rough and hard, so let him live in peace and stability for a few years.

The Son of Heaven agreed, and immediately sentenced Cai Yong to exile in northern Xinjiang and be guarded by the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Li Hong was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Li Wei and Yan Liang to escort Cai Yong to Jinyang with an eight-hundred-mile fast horse, and at the same time ordered Zhao Yun to lead the Changshui camp back to the Longshan camp.

At the end of the year, the Son of Heaven received two pieces of good news.

After Changsha Taishou Sun Jian arrived in Changsha County, Jingzhou, he fought and won successes, and had already dispersed the rebels of Ouxing, and the period of counterinsurgency was just around the corner.

The general Dong Zhuo defeated the rebels in Jiuquan, Zhangye and other places, beheaded 3,000, and put down the rebellion. The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, and Dong Zhuo was named a former general, the Marquis of Aoxiang, and a thousand households.
