Chapter 5 Momentum Breaking Bamboo Twenty-second Quarter in the middle of April, Hedong. The great general Li Hong arrived at the camp of Kasakatsu.

Xu Rong, Liyi, Yushi, Yang Feng, Hua Xiong, Sun Prince, Wang Dang, Zhang Baiqi, Jiang Wu, Mustafa, Yu Poison, Guo Daxian and other generals in northern Xinjiang went out to meet each other.

Li Hong has not returned to Hedong since he led his army to attack Jizhou, and he has not seen Xu Rong, Yushi and other northern Xinjiang generals stationed in Guanxi and Hedong for about three years.

This reunion after a long absence, everyone was very happy and talked happily. The army of the western expedition consisted of 75,000 cavalry troops.

The general Li Hongtong led the Black Panther Yicong Battalion, the Tiger Ben Battalion, and the 10,000 iron cavalry of Jiang Wu and Mustafa, a total of 15,000 soldiers for the middle army.

Xu Rong, Yang Feng, and Zhang Baiqi led 20,000 foot soldiers as the left army, and Liyi, Sun Qin, and Wang Dang led 20,000 foot soldiers as the right army.

Pang De, Wei Jun, Liu Ming, Storm Sha, and Nie Xiao led 20,000 iron horsemen from Xiaoguan to Chang'an, and once they joined the army, they were merged into the left and right armies.

Yu Shi and Hua Xiong were ordered to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Kansai. Because of the tense situation in Kansai, the two left Kabasakatsu that night.

At this moment, Chun Yuqiong was leading the army to attack Xin'an, and Zhang Jijun, who was in the direction of Tongguan and Taolin Fortress, was in a panic because of the chaos in Guanzhong.

In order to ensure that the army could smoothly advance west to King Qin, Li Hong asked the two to do their best to hold Guanxi and not allow for mistakes.

The next day, Yang Hua, the captain of the Lou boat, urgently reported that the servant of the Emperor Fu Li escorted Zhu Jun's coffin to the opposite bank of Pubanjin.

General Li Hong, General Xu Rong and other generals of Northern Xinjiang rushed to the ferry in mourning clothes to greet them. Zhu Mu cried loudly and fainted several times.

Li Hong was also sad when he thought of Zhu Jun's help to himself and Northern Xinjiang. Xu Rong blamed himself very much, hiding his face and crying.

When the general left Kansai, he repeatedly asked him to protect Zhu Jun, but he did not do it. Zhu Mubai bid farewell to the general Li Hong, escorted his father's coffin to Jinyang for burial, and said that he would mourn for three years.

On the third day, the Son of Heaven's decree was delivered to Kasakatsu. Guo Yan united with Xiliang to rebel Han Sui and Ma Teng to attack and kill the camp of Baling Beiwu, Li Dao's troops were defeated and Bashui, Huangfu Song was seriously injured, and the troops were seriously damaged.

At the same time, a holy decree to the general Li Hong was also delivered. At the same time, Pound's urgent report was also sent to Kasakatsu.

Chang'an City burst into flames, the city was destroyed, and the army lost its attack target, so it had to join the army of Wang Fang and Huangfuhong to garrison troops in Gaoling.

"Li Dao dares to burn Chang'an?" Li Hong was extremely angry, and smashed his fist on the case, roaring like thunder,

"I'm going to kill this traitor." Chang'an City was burned, and the military horses of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Han Sui, and Ma Teng had entered Guanzhong, and the situation in Guanzhong suddenly changed again.

"Li Dao's fire is burning so much. Rather than not being able to defend Chang'an, it is better to burn it with a fire to show his determination to die with the Son of Heaven rather than the jade to be broken rather than the whole tile. Chang'an City was destroyed, and half of the foundation of the Han Dynasty was destroyed, which was too great a blow to the Han Dynasty. We have lost the opportunity to capture Guanzhong, and it will be even more difficult to advance westward to King Qin. Tian Chou looked at the frustrated generals of the Northern Frontier, and smiled helplessly,

Yuan Shao and Han Sui took advantage of the infighting between Li Dao and Guo Yan to rush into Guanzhong, not to King Qin, but to seize the land of Guanzhong. They are still very different from our purpose. I think we should retreat to the next best thing, and we should take the Son of Heaven to Hedong as soon as possible. ”

"It's better to be broken than to be complete." Li Hong gritted his teeth, waved his hand and shouted,

"Am I afraid of this bastard Li Dao? Go and invite the Emperor to come, I have something to say to him. ”

"What is the general going to do? At this time, the timing of sending troops to attack Li Dao and rescue the Son of Heaven is very inappropriate, and it is very likely to endanger the life of the Son of Heaven, and it is more likely to force Li Dao and Guo Yan to make peace, and then join forces with Yuan Shao and Han Sui to deal with us. Xu Rong hurriedly persuaded,

"Let's wait a little longer, the situation in Guanzhong will definitely change."

Li Dao burned Chang'an, aroused public anger, became the target of the public, and soon became a lonely man, and was attacked by Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, Huang Fuhong and others. He should know better than anyone how the situation in Guanzhong will develop. Chen Wei looked at the furious Li Hong and said nervously,

"General, as long as you give him a promise at this time, Hedong is his only place to avoid trouble, he may still be lucky, but if the general waves his army to fight over, everyone in Guanzhong will be in danger, and the situation will be reversed immediately." Li Hong's anger subsided for a while, and he glanced at Chen Wei with appreciation,

"Li Dao is already a mortal person, even if I give him a promise, he will not dare to come. Do you believe it or not? Chen Wei bowed his head and was silent.

"If the Son of Heaven wants to save it, I want it too." Li Hong looked at the generals and cut it out,

"This kind of rebellion is becoming more and more rampant, and if you don't kill it, how can you save it? Today they dare to burn Chang'an, and tomorrow they dare to kill the king and usurp Sheji. I tell you this day in no uncertain terms, I will not let a single rebel live, I will kill them all, and there will be no one left. ”

"Lord Huangfu, you immediately return to Baling and present this piece to Your Majesty." Li Hong handed the book in his hand to Huangfu Li, and said angrily,

"You tell Li Dao and ask him to escort His Majesty to Hedong for me immediately, otherwise I will let him die without a place to be buried." Huangfu Li hesitated for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"General, how is this possible? Li Dao is not an idiot, how could he come to die? General, you have tens of thousands of soldiers in your hands, as long as you cross the river and march westward and drive away Yuan Shao and Han Sui, Guanzhong will be restored to stability. Didn't you do this to force Li Dao to burn all the jade? ”

"You asked me to listen to Li Dao? Do you still have the Son of Heaven in your eyes? Do you still have a conscience? Do you still know loyalty? Li Hong questioned repeatedly, furious,

"In order to defend the territory and stabilize the society, my soldiers in the north have made countless feats in the southern and northern wars, and now you let them fight bloodily for a rebellion that burned Chang'an, are you crazy?" Huangfu Li was speechless in shame.

"You go and tell Li Dao, tell Guo Yan, I am now in Hedong, and my 100,000-strong army is at the Pubanjin Ferry. If they want to save their lives, send Your Majesty to me as soon as possible, otherwise I will kill him of the Nine Clans. Also, by the way, tell Yuan Shao and Han Sui, if you don't want to die, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise I will let them die under Chang'an City. Huangfu Li's eyes showed a pleading look, and he bowed down and said, "General, please think about it carefully. If you do this, the Son of Heaven may be killed, Guanzhong may be destroyed, and the Han may be overturned. The Great General......"

"I'm running out of patience, I've endured enough." Li Hong stood up abruptly and shouted loudly,

"Even if the jade is burned, I will not hesitate to do it." The wind howled and the sky was full of crying. Li Hong stood on the embankment, looking at the dense crowd of refugees on the opposite bank, and at the innocent people who came crying all the way to help the old and the young, and the anger in his heart erupted irrepressibly.

He couldn't wait to immediately take the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry all the way over and trample all the rebellions to death.

He clenched the whip in his hand and slammed it on the riverbank, whipping frantically again and again, as if it were those heinous rebels.

Yang Hua, the captain of the building boat, trotted all the way. He stopped far away, looking in horror at Li Hong's face distorted by extreme anger, watching him roar and whip the dirt on the embankment with all his might, and watching the splashed dirt flying in the air, his heart was very terrified.

"Do you know that Chang'an City was burned?" Li Hong pointed to the other side of the Yellow River and asked loudly. Yang Hua was stunned in disbelief, and then felt a burst of intense pain invade his whole body in an instant.

He shuddered, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty,

"Really?"

"Where's your ship?"

"The building boat is transporting grain on the Fen River." Yang Hua hadn't woken up from the extreme shock yet, and replied blankly.

"Don't transport food for the time being, and the army won't cross the river this month."

"Don't cross the river?" Yang Hua was taken aback,

"Why? General, we should kill the past, save the Son of Heaven, kill all the damned rebels, General......"

"Immediately dispatch the building boat to bring all the refugees in Guanzhong to Hedong, do you hear?" The horsewhip in Li Hong's hand waved violently in the air, making a piercing roar.

"Send people to urgently inform the people of Guanzhong on both sides of the Weishui River, saying that the Northern Xinjiang Army is going to kill them, and Guanzhong will shed blood into a river, so that they all flee to the east of the river. There are no more people in Guanzhong, and the rest is to kill, kill wantonly, kill them all, I think there is anyone else who dares to fight with me in Guanzhong. Yang Hua suddenly understood, he roared excitedly,

"Okay, General, I'll do it right away." Yang Hua rushed away.

"Zitai ......" Li Hong glanced back at Tian Chou,

"Urgently tell Zhang Yan and ask him to order Zhao Yun to rush to Hedong with an iron horse, be quick."

"General, Zhao Yun has already led the iron cavalry to cross the river to the south to support Lu Bu, and now he is probably not in Jizhou."

"No matter what method is used, we must let Zhao Yun rush to Hedong at the end of this month." Li Hong whipped to the ground,

"I'm going to make Guanzhong corpses all over the field." In mid-April, Yanzhou. Lu Bu suddenly stopped his horse, raised his head and shouted: "Brothers, reorganize the queue, reorganize the queue ......" The war drums sounded, and the sound shook the four fields.

The retreating army suddenly stopped. Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals galloped along the gallop road, and each went to the headquarters to rectify the army.

Zhang Miao, Zang Hong, Wu Zi, Chen Gong, Liu Yi, Xu Yan, Wang Kai and others came out of the chaotic army and gathered around Lu Bu.

"My lord, why did you stop?" Chen Gong asked breathlessly,

"It's still fifty miles away from Chengshi City, and once we enter the city, we can rest. Cao Cao and Yuan Wei's armies are rushing in from the left and right flanks, and if they are entangled in their vanguard army, we may be wiped out. Lu Bu looked around, sad and indignant.

The army fought a bloody battle with Cao Cao outside Juye City for several days, but because of the lack of troops and the sudden withdrawal of Liu Bei from Xuzhou, the breakthrough finally failed.

Before Liu Bei withdrew his troops, he sent someone to inform Lu Bu. In the first month of this month, Yuan Shu suddenly led his army to attack Xiapi County and Guangling County, and the defense of the two counties was weak and vulnerable, and they were in a hurry.

Liu Bei had no choice but to withdraw his troops south to support. At present, Cao Cao and Yuan Wei's armies have obvious advantages, and Lu Bu's strength is weak, and defeat is a matter of time.

Therefore, Liu Bei suggested that Lu Bu should retreat to the direction of the Yellow River as soon as possible while there were still thousands of troops and the back road was still under his control, and if necessary, he could even cross the Yellow River and garrison the northern part of Dongjun.

Lü Bu's plan to withdraw south from Xuzhou soon failed. Due to his delay in Juye, Yuan Wei had already led the army to kill, and he was immediately attacked by Yuan Wei and Cao Cao, and fled in defeat.

Looking at the frightened Yanzhou officials and thousands of soldiers, Lu Bu looked up to the sky and sighed, disheartened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Northern Frontier Army has not yet crossed the river and headed south, and our defeat is decided." Lu Bu arched his hand and said,

"Lu Bu is ashamed of the Son of Heaven, ashamed of Lord Wang Yun, and even more ashamed of the trust that your lords have placed in me. I am very sorry that I was not able to accomplish the great cause of the King of the West with all of you. ”

"My lord, although the Northern Xinjiang Army has not shown any signs of moving south, it does not mean that they have given up Yanzhou." Zhang Miao reluctantly smiled and comforted,

"Today we are desperate and can only cross the Yellow River north to join the general. Sooner or later, the generals will have to go south to the Central Plains, and Yanzhou will still be ours sooner or later, so don't be discouraged. Lu Bu looked up at the sky and smiled lonely,

"I'm not going. I'm going to save my brothers, the brothers who helped us get out of the siege, and I can't leave them alone. Zhang Miao, Zang Hong, Chen Gong and others looked at Lu Bu in admiration, unable to say a word.

Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Cheng Lian galloped wildly.

"My lord, the army has been reorganized, should we kill it again?" Wei Xu asked loudly. Lu Bu shook his head,

"How many more Iron Riders are there?"

"Three hundred and twenty-eight."

"Leave the Iron Rider behind." Lu Bu looked at the four of them and said calmly,

"We came out of Northern Xinjiang together, we are brothers, we are good brothers, you have to listen to me."

"What are you going to do, my lord?" Hou Cheng asked in surprise,

"You want to take the iron cavalry back to Juye, rescue Wen Yuan, and rescue the surrounded brothers?" Lu Bu smiled,

"I entrust Satsuki to you. If I die, you take her back to the north with you. Lord Xu Rong and Lord Zhao Yun will definitely take you in. ”

"My lord, they are dead, they are dead." Wei Xu hoarsely roared,

"What are you going back for? Do you want to die? ”

"My lord, if you want to go, we will go." Song Xian said in a deep voice,

"There are four of us, as long as one person remains." Lu Bu shook his head,

"There are more than 3,000 brothers here, and you have to bring them safely to Hebei. There is also ......" Lu Bu pointed to the Yanzhou officials in the distance,

"For more than a year, they have been with us through thick and thin, side by side in the fight against each other, and we can't leave them alone. You must take them and their families out of danger, lest they be killed by Cao Cao and Yuan Wei. ”

"My lord......" Wei Xu's heart was sour, his eyes were red, and tears suddenly soaked his eyes,

"Adult ......"

"Four brothers, please." Lu Bu arched his hand and smiled,

"Goodbye to life." Lu Bu roared and kicked the horse's belly, and the horse roared and shot out.

"Brothers, raise your spears, kill back, kill back......"

"Raise the battle flag, follow me back to the battlefield, and save our brother ......"

"Brothers, fight to the death, fight to the death......"

"Kill ......" The three hundred and twenty-eight horsemen roared like thunder, and their horses flew like flies, and they followed behind Lu Bu without hesitation and rushed towards the heavens and the earth.

Xiao Yue screamed in sorrow, cried loudly, jumped on the war horse with all her might, and chased after the horse. Chen Gong didn't catch it, and he couldn't help screaming in fright,

"Stop her, stop her......" Wei Xu galloped wildly, reached out and lifted Xiao Yue up from the galloping war horse, and then hugged her,

"He's not going to die, no one can kill him."

"He's going to die, I'm going to die with him."

"He's not going to die." Wei Xu stopped his horse, looked at the dust of the flying poplars in the distance, and shouted in a dumb voice,

"He won't die......" Two lines of tears slowly rolled down from Wei Xu's eyes. Zhang Liao smashed the enemy with one punch, looked back and shouted: "Formation, formation, don't scatter, go northwest, ...... Hurry up ......" The war drums sounded intensively, resolute and fearless.

Li Feng and Xue Lan took the lead, and each led a team of personal guards to break through to the northwest. Hundreds of soldiers formed a barrel-shaped formation, fighting fiercely, brave and invincible.

Lu Bu looked at the bloody battlefield, listened to the fierce war drums and the tragic fighting, and was suddenly very excited and burst into tears.

"Brothers, kill in, kill in......" Lu Bu pointed in front of his halberd, hoarse,

The three hundred and twenty-eight horsemen of "Killing ......" were like a roaring long arrow, shooting headlong into the battlefield of flesh and blood.

Xu Chu and Cao Chun each led a team of iron horsemen to block head-on from both wings. The halberd roared, the wind and thunder were fierce, and Lu Bu smashed down Xu Chu's war knife with a halberd.

Xu Chuhu roared and raised his knife to block.

"When ......" There was a loud bang, the knife broke, Xu Chu couldn't help but stand the thunderous blow, and his strong body suddenly flew out upside down, opening his mouth and spurting out a mouthful of blood.

"Kill ......" Lu Bu roared wildly, and the remaining strength of the halberd did not decrease,

"Flutter ......" pierced through the enemy soldiers. The corpse flew up and rushed into the sky with a trail of blood.

The drums of war shook the mountains. Cao's army was suddenly in confusion and retreated to both flanks. Li Feng and Xue Lan only felt that the pressure in front of them was relaxed, and the speed of rushing and killing suddenly accelerated.

Lu Bu's halberd swept and killed eight people in a row, and eight human heads shouted in the air, thrilling. Li Cheng struggled to catch up, and as soon as he closed, he was knocked down by Lu Bu and got off the horse.

Cao Jun couldn't resist it, so he had to let him kill all the way and be invincible. Li Feng, Xue Lan and the soldiers who fought bloodily suddenly saw Lu Bu killed, they were all shocked, and they shouted wildly, and for a while, everyone was angry.

"Kill it...... Brothers...... Kill me out......" Lu Bu held his halberd high and galloped on his horse, as if he were in a no-man's land.

"Okay, it's a man, it's a good ......" Cao Cao stood on the high slope, clapped his hands and shouted,

"Order all the departments, surround them on all sides, kill Lu Bu, kill Lu Bu......" In an instant, the war drums were like thunder, and the sound shook the sky.

The fierce fighting became more and more fierce. Lü Bu and hundreds of his soldiers were surrounded by Cao's legions and were about to be defeated.

Wenyuan...... Wen Yuan ......" Lu Bu stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and kept shouting,

"Follow me, follow me......"

"Fengxian, to the west, to the west......" Zhang Liao stumbled after him with two knives in his hand, trying his best to point him in the direction of the breakthrough.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao tripped over the corpse under his feet and fell headlong in a pool of blood, and his battle helmet also fell far away.

"Wen Yuan......" Lu Bu exclaimed, and the halberd collided back, and immediately knocked the two Cao soldiers who pounced on him to the ground.

"Hurry up...... Come on......" Zhang Liao didn't move, he was engrossed on the ground, listening carefully to something.

"Wenyuan, let's go ......" Lu Bu yelled, killing one more person,

"Let's go......" Zhang Liao jumped up violently, pointed to the distance and shouted frantically,

"Fengxian, iron horseman, iron horseman......" The sunset is like blood. On the horizon in the distance, an army of iron cavalry, clad in fiery red colors, rolled like a roaring bloodthirsty beast.
