Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fortune is Permanent
On the other side of Tongguan, Xinfeng.
"Fuck it, the people of Liangzhou shouldn't be in Longguan! Those people who merged with the state, damn it, they all deserve it! Li Dao was crazy and waved the mixed iron spear between the houses in the village, and the earthen wall collapsed when it hit the iron spear, how could the walls of those logs and earth rammed earth resist such a huge force, and in an instant, only the soil slope and the broken wall of the tomb on the ground remained, and he scolded like crazy: "Zhong Yinggong is not here, Dong Yue is dead, and Niu Fuzi is also dead...... Is there still a way for the people of Liangzhou to live in this world? β
Niu Fu didn't live long after killing Dong Yue, and he gradually felt uneasy after capturing Tongguan. One day, it was only the battalion that defeated the sergeant Xiaoying and rebelled, but Niu Fu thought that the whole army was against him, and immediately fled from the army with Hu Chi'er and several henchmen, thinking about escaping back to Liangzhou along the path. How did he know that Hu Er from the Yuezhi was greedy for those gold beads and money, and on the way, he and several other cronies killed Niu Fu, and walked to Chang'an with his head to find Lu Bu to receive the reward.
Niu Fu killed Dong Yue because of Wu Zhu's sentence, but in the end, it was Hu Chi'er, who always regarded him as a confidant, who rebelled in the end.
Hu Chi'er, who killed him, also failed to get a good death, and after Lu Bu learned the reason why he killed Niu Fu, he did not hesitate to behead Hu Chi'er.
The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant.
It's just that Li Dao and Guo Yan are the Liangzhou generals west of Tongguan.
The people of Liangzhou have always played a pivotal role in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, they have long lived outside the pass, they are familiar with the war and are good at the battle formation, even against the Central Plains soldiers who are three times their own, they can often win more with less. In the past 400 years, there have been many rebellions in Liangzhou, and in those large and small counterinsurgency wars, eight out of ten, the Han army suffered heavy losses.
Most of the counterinsurgency generals who were able to win later were local generals in Liangzhou.
But the people of Liangzhou are contradictory, they are superstitious about the number of days, the sentence 'the fortune is constant, the people of Liangzhou want to believe in the sky' appeared in their mouths more than once, but they also challenged the imperial power more than once; they are superstitious about force, but they have no ambitions, even if they rebel vigorously, they only hope that 'Liangzhou affairs, Liangzhou people rule', and there is no more demand for anything else.
In the past four hundred years, there has only been such a Dong Zhuo who has the ambition to be in the imperial court and the world, and he has taken the advantage of the Liangzhou people in the battle array to the extreme by taking the opportunity of the palace coup d'Γ©tat.
But before the hegemony was halfway, Dong Zhuo died.
Dong Zhuo has his forbearance and cunning, as well as his eloquence and cruelty, but this person died like a lamp going out, and the sky lanterns lit outside Chang'an City burned for several days...... can't save the cool people in a corner of peace.
"Brother, don't smash it, just like this, if the people of Bingzhou catch up, they can still resist the enemy." Guo Yan squatted on the ground, sighing like a sad old farmer who had delayed the farming time, the plateau red on both sides of his cheeks was even more decadent at this time, stirring the bonfire in front of him and said angrily: "It's useless for you to complain, Niu Fu didn't do anything good before he died, the last military order asked us to kill all the people in the state, damn, Lao Tzu just killed all the people in the army, Niu Fuzi died...... Zhang Ji, did you kill it? β
Zhang Ji sat cross-legged on the side, pinched his eyebrows with a little sadness when he heard the words, and looked up at Guo Yan in embarrassment, although he did not speak, the meaning was clearly expressed in his expression.
The three lieutenants of their school, the hundreds of state soldiers in them, were all slaughtered when they received the warrant for Niu Fu!
"What can I do, as soon as the news of Dong Gong's assassination spread, the morale of the army was in chaos, and as soon as Niu Fu's warrant came, the brothers thought they had the bottom in their hearts." Zhang Ji sighed heavily, then shook his head and said: "Anyway, we still have nearly 100,000 Liangzhou troops, even if Dong Gong dies, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as Niu Fu can lead the brothers to live, there are only more than 200 people from the state, and they will be killed." β
Zhang Ji lowered his head and covered his face with both hands, he was about to collapse, they were all about to collapse.
"Dong Yue died, Niu Fu died, Duan Xuan rebelled, Xu Rong rebelled...... These Zhonglang will be unreliable. Now we have less than 6,000 soldiers and horses. Zhang Ji covered his face and made an urn sound, and his words were full of countless sorrows, "As soon as Dong Gong died, how did the situation become like this?" β
"It's useless to talk about it now!"
Guo Yan was already very annoyed, and he couldn't help but be even more irritable when he saw Zhang Ji's appearance. Guo Yan has tried his best to suppress his emotions. If there was no one around, he would have to cry! The eldest husband is dead when he dies, and it's not okay to be so ashamed before he dies!
With a slurp, Guo Yan raised his head and poured a bag of water, pinched the shriveled wine bag and called the soldiers, and said, "Eh, that, you come here, go to the village to look for it, catch a chicken to cook to satisfy your hunger, and then fill me with wine." β
"It's all here, and you're still caring about satisfying your cravings?"
Li Wei poked the iron spear into the earthen wall on the side, glared at Guo Yan angrily, but Guo Yan broke the jar and said: "Just because it's all like this, if you don't satisfy your hunger, you won't have a chance in the future...... Do you want it? β
Li Wei was choked by Guo Yan's words, closed his eyes and let out a long breath, then raised his arm and said to the pro-soldier: "Get me one too." β
"Well, that's right, don't you have to eat a full meal even before you die, what about you?" Guo Yan smiled bitterly, asked Zhang Ji again, and immediately turned back to his own soldiers and said, "Three, four, get one for yourself, and fill the wine...... Let me tell you, when the situation is getting worse, if you have a full meal, there may be a turnaround. When Lao Tzu was a horse thief, then let the lord catch me, and asked me what I wanted before I died, I said I wanted to eat a good meal, I haven't eaten enough for a few days, what happened later? Dong Gong asked me if I dare to kill people, Lao Tzu is not afraid of death, afraid of killing? Ten ...... now. Twelve years, well, twelve years! β
Guo Yan followed Dong Zhuo for twelve years.
Twelve years of charging into battle, twelve years of wine and food.
"Childish, I've always treated you as a brother. If you have words, I will have a cheap name, Ado. This...... You have an idea. Guo Yan turned his head as he spoke, he Guo Aduo only had a cheap life, he was famous for following Dong Zhongying, and he was also depressed because of Dong Zhongying's death, thinking of this, Guo Yan's nose only felt sour, and he almost couldn't suppress the emotions gushing out of his eyes, "Whether you go or stay, I don't care about you, I will give you my subordinates and horses." Dong Gong has treated Guo Aduo for 12 years, and I know Dong Gong's kindness. Lu Fengxian, he is known as the sharp man of Bingzhou, I want to go to Chang'an to find him, whether he wants to die or live, I want to go to Chang'an to fight with him. β
"Spank! You can't even beat the white horse generals under Yan Zhongqing, and you still have to fight Lu Bu? Li Ji had just finished scolding Guo Yan who was determined to live and die, but Zhang Ji over there followed and said: "Yes, childish, you can make up your mind, and I will listen to you." β
can be regarded as the big one among the short men, the three Liangzhou captains, before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, they were just military marquis Qu Chang, fighting in formation, charging and killing the enemy, they were experts. But if you want to talk about this kind of brain-wielding situation? No one can do it, because it has always been something that Niu Fu and others have done before.
But now the top bosses are dying one after another, and when it's really time for them to make up their minds, they have to look at Li Dao.
"I mean, I really don't have any ideas, with the current army and the people of Bingzhou, we all have to die in the Central Plains, not to mention that once we became thieves." Li Wei shook his head and said, "I think it's better for us to disperse the soldiers and horses and run west, so that we can return to our hometown alive." β
"Childish, what about those witches you raised? Let them do the math. As soon as Zhang Ji's voice fell, Guo Yan waved his hand and said: "No, where the hell is there still Wu Zhu, the day before yesterday, I made Zhiran all click and chop." β
Li Wei is superstitious about witch Gu, which has long been famous in the Liangzhou army.
"I'm angry when I mention this!" Li Dao now wanted to kill someone when he heard the words Wu Zhu, and scolded and said: "You said that I raised those people, eating and drinking well, didn't you just show me the meaning of Taiyi for them...... They are good, they gave me a hexagram the month before last, and they actually said that Lao Tzu was in charge of the court. I also gave those witches a lot of bounty money at that time, and before he finished counting the two months, Dong Gong died, and our brothers were chased by the dogs of the state like a lost dog, and they were in charge of the court, and you were a court! β
Li Wei scolded, walked out a few steps, and said to the cronies standing on the side: "You go and find the captain who is begging for the captivity, this Jia Xu ghost has a lot of ideas, and you still have to ask him what he means about this matter." β
Guo Yan scolded with a smile, "If you are in a hurry to go to the doctor, we don't have any ideas, so it's useful to call Jia Xu?" β
Although Jia Xu is also an official lieutenant, he has never had any achievements under Dong Zhuo, and he often pretends to be a quail when he fights...... The number of soldiers under the command of the lieutenant department of the army is 600 to explain the situation.
Not long after, Jia Xu, who was over forty years old, walked over with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and asked gently, "What are the instructions of the school captain?" β
"Brother Wenhe doesn't have to be so outside, I am equivalent to a Liangzhou soldier, and I am the same as Lianzhi, sit down." Li Wei beckoned Jia Xu to sit down, and was not arrogant because of Jia Xu's respect in words, and asked humbly: "Now that Dong Gong has passed away, Zhonglang General Niu Fu has also been killed, and the brothers have no idea, we plan to disperse the soldiers and horses and flee back to Liangzhou, I don't know what you think?" β
"Scatter the soldiers?" Jia Xuhu glanced at the three of them suspiciously, his face changed greatly, and he shook his head decisively: "No, the soldiers and horses can't be dispersed!" β
He has 600 men under him, and these three people still want to disperse the soldiers and horses! How to save your life if you are scattered!
"Why can't you disperse?"
"Disperse the soldiers and horses, from Xinfeng to Liangzhou for six hundred miles, the pavilion chief can bind you, not to mention that the Yin Jian of General Niu Zhonglang is not far away, if you don't scatter the soldiers and horses, you may not die, and if you disperse the soldiers and horses, you will die!"
Jia Xu's words were firm, which made Li Wei and the three of them secretly suspicious in their hearts, and wondered: "If you don't scatter the soldiers and horses, what is the way to live?" β
Jia Xu looked at these heads, wiped his face and pointed his finger: "Instead of scattering the soldiers and horses, it is better to gather all the departments." Now there are Fan Chou, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others scattered all over the west, and Niu Zhonglang and Dong Zhonglang's remnants in the east Tongguan, it is better to integrate the troops to lead the troops to the west, attack Chang'an, and avenge Dong Gong. If it is successful, you can serve the country to correct the world; If not, it's never too late to escape. β
"That's right!" When Guo Yan heard that there was still hope for revenge for Dong Zhuo, he immediately raised his evaluation of Jia Xu to a higher level, looked at Li Dao and said, "Brother, I'll just do it later!" β
"Well, then, we should fight to the death. If you conquer Chang'an, you will win the world; If they can't be attacked, they will rob Sanfu's women's property and return to their hometown, and they can still save their lives. Brothers...... Give it a try? β
"Just give it a try!"
