Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 3 Storms and Storms Section 22
Chapter 3 Storm Twenty-second Festival Early April, Fufeng County, Wu Yueting. Dong An, the captain of Huqiang, led an army of 3,000 cavalry along the gallop road next to the Weishui River all the way to Guanzhong.
Due to the rain in Guanzhong for two consecutive months, the Weishui River swelled, and the gallop road was washed away in many places, muddy and difficult to walk, and the army was struggling to move and marching very slowly.
At this time, Dong An already knew that Huang Fuhong had led the army north to settle down, and there were only a hundred soldiers in Dasanguan, but he was not in a hurry.
Twenty miles away from Dasanguan is Chencang City. The army of Lü Bu and Zhang Liao was stationed in Chencang City, and the pass was definitely foolproof.
Dong An stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, looked up at the dark sky, and cursed uncleanly.
The weather was so bad, but Dong Zhuo asked him to take the army to rush hundreds of miles to Dasanguan, and he was very angry.
Huang Fuhong is gone, so he can let Lu Bu temporarily garrison Dasanguan, why do you have to let yourself come back? He felt that Dong Zhuo was too cautious.
Dong Zhuo let himself return to Guanzhong in a hurry, just to monitor Lu Bu and guard against Lu Bu's rebellion. Dong An felt that since Dong Zhuo didn't believe in Lu Bu, he should transfer Lu Bu to the Guanxi battlefield, which could not only deplete Lu Bu's troops, but also ensure the safety of Guanzhong, he really couldn't understand why Dong Zhuo transferred Lu Bu to Chencang to garrison.
Could it be that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill Lu Bu with the hands of Han Sui and Ma Teng? Killing Lu Bu is just a matter of effort for Dong Zhuo, so why is it so troublesome?
"My lord, five miles ahead is Wu Yue Pavilion." Jun Sima Li Feng said loudly,
"When we arrived at Wuyue Pavilion, we also walked out of Wuyue Mountain, only fifty miles away from Chencang." Dong An looked back at the mountain shrouded in clouds behind him and let out a long breath.
Finally walked out of Wuyue Mountain.
"Summons the departments, go faster, let's go to Wu Yueting to rest for a while." Dong An waved his horsewhip and said happily.
Dong An is about forty years old, burly, Dong Zhuo's nephew, who also served under Dong Zhuo in the past and is known for his bravery.
Probably drenched in the rain, Dong An was anxious to find a place to rest, and took the lead in rushing to Wu Yueting with his personal guard iron horse.
When approaching Wu Yueting, the scout came to report that Lord Lu Bu had personally rushed to Wu Yueting to greet the adults, and asked the adults to meet them quickly.
Dong An smiled proudly, thinking that this Lu Bu was really smart. Knowing that Dong Zhuo didn't trust him, he deliberately ran to greet him early, wanting to please himself and show loyalty to Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu welcomed Dong An into the big tent with a smile on his face. The two exchanged pleasantries, and Lu Bu said: "There is a lot of rain in Guanzhong this year, and the road is difficult, and the adults have worked hard. Dong An smiled: "The Son of Heaven has a will, how dare the lower officials slacken?" Don't say it's raining, it's hail, and the officials have to come day and night. Lu Bu laughed.
"You go and change your clothes first. I prepared some food and drinks, and when a few of the adults' subordinates had gathered, we would get drunk and rest. "It didn't take long for several of Dong An's subordinates to be invited to the big tent by Lu Bu one after another.
Lu Bu was very polite and persuaded them to drink one by one. The curtain was lifted, and Zhang Liao strode in. Dong An hurriedly raised his hand and beckoned: "Wenyuan, come and sit down and have a drink to drive away the cold." Zhang Liao ignored him, bowed down and said to Lu Bu: "My lord, the rebels have been surrounded, and the rebels' personal guards have also been disarmed. Zhang Liao's voice was not loud, but in Dong An's ears, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he didn't react for a long time.
Lu Bu suddenly shouted,
"Come on, catch Dong An."
"Who dares to arrest me?" Dong An roared angrily, jumped up, kicked over the desk in front of him, and reached out to draw the knife.
At this moment, dozens of big men split the tent almost at the same time, and rushed in with the icy rain star, subduing his men with lightning speed.
Dong An only felt that his vest was cold, and the hand that drew the knife suddenly froze. It was a sharp halberd that pierced through his armor and pressed against his back.
At this moment, several bright knives roared and viciously slammed into his neck. A few men with crossbows then rushed in, their swarthy bolts aimed at his chest.
"Lu Bu, do you want to rebel?" Dong Anse was stubble and shouted loudly,
"You're going to die without a place to bury. Your wives and children are in Chang'an, and your subordinates' wives and children are also in Chang'an, they will be skinned and cramped. Lu Bu sneered, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times involuntarily,
"Proclamation." The Son of Heaven has a will, and Dong An, the captain of the Qiang Guard, left his post without permission and led the army back to Guanzhong without permission.
"Lu Bu, you dare to be pretentious, you dare to forge a holy decree, you ......" Before the terrified Dong An finished speaking, several of Lu Bu's personal guards had already kicked Dong An to the ground with their fists and feet.
A personal guard stepped on Dong An's head and gagged him. Several military commanders of the Qiang Lieutenant Department knelt on the ground, panicked and frightened, only Li Feng was very calm and did not change his face.
Zhang Liao walked up to them with the holy decree and gave them the holy decree one by one.
"A few adults have seen clearly, this is His Majesty's holy decree, do you have any questions?" Li Feng and the others shook their heads again and again.
Zhang Liao stood up and took out another holy decree. This is the holy decree of the Son of Heaven ordering Lu Bu to lead the Captain of Qiang.
After Zhang Liao finished announcing the holy decree, he asked with a smile: "If you have no objections, then get up." Li Feng and several military commanders hurriedly stood up, saluted Lu Bu again, and met the new captain of Huqiang.
Lu Bu nodded coldly, waved his hand and shouted to the guards: "Drag Dong An down and cut it off." Dong An's bloody head was placed on the desk, and the remaining blood dripped to the ground along the desk.
Lu Bu paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back. Zhang Liao, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals of the Zhou Army and Li Feng and other generals of the Xiliang Army were lined up on both sides and were silent.
The heavy rain outside the tent was roaring, the wind was shouting, and everyone's mood was like this drifting wind and rain, cold and desolate.
Lu Bu became more and more worried. If Dong Zhuo wants to kill himself, there are many easy ways, and there is no need to sacrifice Dong An's life at all.
It seems that this holy decree must be true, but why did the Son of Heaven only mention the killing of Dong An in the holy decree, and did not mention Dong Zhuo a word.
What are the consequences of killing Dong An, Lu Bu and the generals are clear. Lu Bu thought of what Wang Yun said to himself that day: Be sure to do what you are ordered.
So, is there a second decree coming soon?
"Your Excellency......" Li Feng suddenly bowed down and said,
"The lower officials have a secret edict from the Son of Heaven." Lu Bu and the generals were taken aback.
"The person who gave the official secret edict repeatedly instructed the lower officials not to take out the secret edict if they didn't see Dong An's head." Li Feng took off the leather armor on his body and handed it to Lu Bu,
"The secret edict is in the mezzanine of the leather armor, please check it." Lu Bu took the leather armor and asked sharply: "Who gave you the secret edict?" Li Feng shook his head and said resolutely: "I will never say this person, even if the adult kills me, I will not say it." Lu Bu stared at him fiercely, eager to eat him in one bite.
If the killing of Dong Zhuo fails this time, these hidden plotters can continue to live, and they can continue to plan to eliminate the **.
Just like he wouldn't tell Wang Yun, Li Feng would never spit out a single secret. Lu Bu suddenly smiled, reached out and patted him on the shoulder,
"Good...... Good ...... "The Son of Heaven secretly edicted, Dong Zhuo usurped and rebelled, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be killed immediately." The Son of Heaven ordered Lu Bu to conquer Yiwu as the price.
At the beginning of April, Yiwu. In a luxurious lobby in Yiwu, Dong Min and the waiter were drinking and watching female music, enjoying themselves.
Chong Ji was ordered to come to Yiwu with Dong Huang, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, to take Dong Zhuo back to Chang'an. When he was about to set off the next morning, Dong Zhuo's mount suddenly became restless, hissing incessantly, and refused to leave the dock.
Dong Zhuo easily whipped the war horse, and it happened that there was another landslide and a thunderbolt in the sky at that time.
The war horse was frightened, and immediately went crazy, stood upright, and threw Dong Zhuo under the horse. The servant was right next to Dong Zhuo, and was accidentally hit by the crazy war horse, and he fell unconscious on the spot.
Because the war situation in Kansai became more and more tense, Wang Yun also urged three times a day, saying that the Son of Heaven's condition was getting worse and worse, Dong Zhuo was worried that Chang'an would change, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly changed to a carriage.
Strangely, the axle of the carriage broke before it left the city. Dong Zhuo muttered in his heart, and immediately took a hexagram, judging from the hexagram, it was very unlucky, and there was a bloody disaster in the east.
Several witch wishes in the Wuwu also had their own hexagrams, but they were very different from Dong Zhuo's statement, they thought that it was good luck and that the East would produce nobles, implying that Dong Zhuo would become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.
Just when Dong Zhuo was hesitating, Chong Ji woke up, and he also made a hexagram while lying on the couch, and his statement was exactly the same as the statement of several Wu Zhu.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he set off with the army.
"It has been three days since Taishi left Yiwu, and according to the itinerary, he will be able to go to Chang'an City tomorrow." Chongji looked back at the heavy rain outside the window, and touched his thighs with a frown,
"I'm so unlucky, I hit that crazy horse, and it will take me about ten days and a half to walk." Dong Min laughed,
"What's wrong with you recuperating here in peace? If it weren't for my eldest brother's favorite mount, I could have killed it, and you would have eaten horse meat. ”
"Forget it, forget it, what's there to worry about with a brute?" Chongji shook his hand again and again, sighing that he was unlucky.
Suddenly, the drums of war in the city thundered, and the shouts were earth-shattering. Dong Min was shocked, jumped up, and rushed out of the house.
A guard rushed in,
"My lord, it's not good, the Xiliang rebels, the Xiliang rebels are coming......" Dong Min braved the pouring rain and rushed up to the city tower.
In the hazy mist, a large army was arrayed outside the city, ready to attack the Dock Fort.
"Crazy, crazy......" Dong Min scolded,
"He dared to attack the city in such weather, and I told him to go and never return." There are three thousand Xiliang elites in the dock fort, and there are sophisticated weapons, Dong Min doesn't have to worry about the dock fort being breached, the only thing he wants to know now is who this army is.
Lü Bu ordered Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Cheng Lian to each take a group of men and horses to feint to attack the eastern, southern, and northern gates, and he and Zhang Liao led the main force to attack the western gate.
If you can quickly take down Yiwu, the plan to kill Dong Zhuo will be half successful. Even if it still failed, Dong Zhuo was greatly injured, and in the face of the ferocious attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, it was difficult to support it any longer.
Lightning flashed in the sky, thunder rumbled, and rain poured down. The siege battle immediately began under Lu Bu's roar.
Long arrows from both sides pierced through the rain curtain and let out a deafening roar. The roar of ballistas was accompanied by bursts of thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Under the command of Lu Bu, the heroic Bingzhou sergeants went forward one after another, launching wave after wave of offensives against the so-called impregnable Hewu.
Lu Bu's army suddenly attacked under the cover of heavy rain, and Hewu was not prepared at all, let alone wood and stones, and even the long-needed arrows were still in Yiwu's arsenal.
What Lu Bu wanted was to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, so after the army arrived at the city, he immediately launched an attack.
Yi Wu fell into extreme panic and chaos. Because Dong Min did not know the number of the besieging army and could not judge the direction of the enemy's main attack, he did not order the main forces to be concentrated at the west gate.
Some of the 3,000 soldiers were in the palace to protect their families, and some were evenly distributed among the four city gates.
As a result, in a short period of time, it was hit by the Bingzhou army on the West City Gate. The rain was too heavy and the thunder was too loud.
The sound of the war drums was completely drowned out by the continuous thunder and the roaring sound of the heavy rain, and the Lingqi was also soaked in heavy rain and could not be unfurled.
Dong Min was scared, he felt a deep fear, he didn't expect that in this heavy rain, all the advantages of Yiwu would be lost.
At this time, the soldiers on both sides lost their command, and the fight was courage, morale, and bloody killing.
Whoever is ruthless wins. Lu Bu personally led people to rush to the city wall. The halberd is broken, swing the knife and fight again, the knife is broken, pick up a spear and fight again.
The enemy's war knife slashed at Lu Bu's head, and the battle helmet suddenly cracked, blood poured like blood, and blood and rain flowed all over his face.
Lu Bu was furious, he threw his hair out, pounced on him like a tiger, grabbed the enemy, and threw the wall in the air.
"Kill, kill them all, none of them will be left, and one will not be left behind...... Dong Min saw Lu Bu, he was stunned, the most terrible thing happened, Lu Bu rebelled.
Lu Bu also saw Dong Min, he roared wildly, holding the knife in both hands, killing thirteen people in a row in one go, breaking through many resistances and killing in front of Dong Min.
Dong Min turned around and ran. Knife break. Lu Bu was furious, punched and kicked, and killed three more people,
"Knife, give me a knife......" Zhang Liao rose into the air and threw the war knife out of his hand,
"Fengxian, kill him, kill him......" Lu Bu held the knife in his hand, and roared wildly: "Go to death......" The knife arrived, like a long rainbow running through the sun, and Dong Min was divided into two.
