Yue Fei galloped out of the camp with a hundred iron horses.

Zhang Ji's messenger brought a letter saying that he would go to the camp in Shaancheng and hand it over to the captured general Yue Fei in person. Yue Fei was in the big tent at the time, and he immediately opened the letter.

In the letter, Zhang Ji invited Yue Fei to meet in Hongnong City.

Yue Fei desperately wanted to know what had happened in Chang'an and whether Dong Zhuo was still alive. He didn't hesitate and said yes. Huang Zhong and the others hurriedly stopped it.

Yue Fei smiled: "I don't think there will be any danger, don't worry." ”

………………

Three miles outside Hongnong City, there is a hill, which is the place where the two sides meet.

When Yue Fei arrived here, he was surprised to find that it was not only Zhang Ji who had come to meet, but also Li Dao and Li Ru. All three were dressed in mourning clothes and looked sad.

Seeing the costumes and expressions of the three of them, Yue Fei knew what was going on.

Yue Fei sat on the horse and sighed in his heart. Dong Zhuo is dead, really dead. This Rong Ma has been a fierce general who has been in the western frontier all his life, commanding the storm, single-handedly provoking the disaster of the overthrow of the Han Dynasty and pushing the Han into the abyss of defeat, and the rebellion in the eyes of many Han people is finally dead.

Yue Fei looked up at the blue sky and let out a long sigh.

He did not feel the slightest joy, but on the contrary, great sorrow and pain filled his heart in this moment.

Why is this happening? Could it all be Dong Zhuo's fault? What Dahan is doing today is caused by Dong Zhuo?

Yue Fei couldn't find the answer, and couldn't know the answer.

Yue Fei waved his hand to let the guards stand back and greeted them alone.

………………

Li Dao, Zhang Ji and Li Ru stood opposite Yue Fei. A thousand words, I don't know where to start for a while. There was so much going on during this time that they had a bit of a sense of distraction.

Dong Yue rushed to Huayin City to ask for help, Wang Fang was shocked and urgently reported Niu Fu and Duan Xuan. At this time, they didn't know Dong Zhuo's life and death, and they were so anxious that groups of scouts rushed out of Huayin to inquire about the news in the direction of Chang'an City and Yiwu.

Duan Xuan and Bao Hong led their troops across the Weishui River the next morning and rushed to Huayin. Everyone is their own people, so Dong Yue and Wang Fang didn't think much about it, and thought that the other party was here to support them.

However, Duan Xuan and Bao Hong were not here to support, and they suddenly launched an attack on Huayin City. Dong Yue and Wang Fang were caught off guard, and the city was lost in a blink of an eye.

The two fled to Tongguan with their guards and defended to the death.

Niu Fu and Li Dao Zhu of the Taolin Fortress received Dong Yue's urgent report, and they were stupid at that time.

Niu Fu hurriedly gathered 10,000 horses and horses, and headed towards Tongguan as fast as possible, preparing to rush to Chang'an City to rescue.

Duan Xuan and Bao Hong's army attacked Tongguan and was blocked, and then was counterattacked by Niu Fu, so they had to retreat to Huayin.

Niu Fu and Dong Yue led the army to kill Huayin.

At this time, the imperial court's holy decree was sent to the army, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to the world, the Han thief Dong Zhuo was ambushed, and the generals of the Xiliang Army immediately returned to Beijing to report on their work.

The news of Dong Zhuo's killing suddenly spread throughout the Xiliang army in the thunderous roar of the soldiers and civilians in Huayin City, and the soldiers were panicked and the army was in turmoil.

Niu Fu was helpless and ordered the withdrawal of troops from Tongguan. Dong Yue was extremely sad and indignant, scolded Niu Fu, and even drew his sword to face him, asking Niu Fu to attack with his army and kill Chang'an.

Niu Fu and Wang Fang both believed that the situation in Chang'an was unclear now, and the northern Xinjiang army in Guanxi was advancing step by step, in this case, they should first find out the reality of Chang'an, and then contact Hu Zhen of Wuguan and Dong Min of Yiwu to meet in three ways to attack Chang'an together and avenge Dong Zhuo.

Just when the generals were arguing, the imperial decree arrived. The Son of Heaven issued an order to pardon the generals of Xiliang, and urged them to kill Dong Yue, Niu Fu and Li Ru immediately, otherwise, they would be punished for treason.

Niu Fu was shocked and secretly discussed with Wang Fang.

Wang Fang suggested that Niu Fu kill Dong Yue and exchange Dong Yue's head for his own life. Niu Fu then hunted and killed Dong Yue and sent the head to Chang'an, but Chang'an refused to pardon Niu Fu.

This matter was immediately known to Li Dao. Li Dao was furious, Pegasus rushed to Tongguan, and angrily reprimanded Niu Fu: "You idiot, you can't see such an inferior divisive plan of the imperial court? Can the court let you go, can you let go of our subordinates who have followed the lord for more than 20 years? Don't do such stupid things anymore, immediately gather people and kill Chang'an. ”

It is easy to kill Chang'an, but once tens of thousands of troops enter the pass, the northern Xinjiang military ranks in Guanxi will chase after them and follow them into the pass, then everyone will be finished.

More importantly, killing Chang'an, that is, openly rebelling, raising the sword to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, even if he defeats Chang'an in the future and avenges Dong Zhuo, what will the Son of Heaven do? Do you want the imperial court? If the hussar general takes the opportunity to enter the pass, the lives of his own people will still be in danger, and they will be in danger.

How can I avenge Dong Zhuo and save my life?

Niu Fu and Li Wei were at a loss, and hurried back to Taolin to convene the generals to discuss the matter.

………………

Yue Fei looked at Li Dao and the others suspiciously, and asked, "What are you going to do?" Has the Son of Heaven decreed that you will be forgiven? ”

Li Wei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "General Yue, if Zhang Wen kills Li Yi, do you say that the eldest princess will issue an order to pardon you?" Even if the eldest princess pardons you, do you dare to go back to Quanzhou? Do you dare to leave your army? ”

Yue Fei was shocked and was silent. I don't need to answer this question, everything I have is given by the lord, and in my life, I have been associated with the lord, and I share weal and woe. Once the lord has something to do, he will never be spared.

This kind of truth is the same for Li Dao and Guo Yan, who have followed Dong Zhuo for decades.

Yue Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Who killed the Taishi?" Who is the mastermind behind this? Do you know the specifics? ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "This matter was planned by Situ Wang Yun, and Huangfu Song, Xu Rong, and Duan Xuan all participated. I heard that Huangfu Song also seconded 3,000 Qiang cavalry from outside the Saiwai. ”

"Qiangqi?" Yue Fei frowned and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure." Li Dao said, "I suspect that someone in Quanzhou has also participated in this matter, otherwise how could the Qiang cavalry on the desert go south?" Why did Huangfu Song persuade the Qiang people to help him kill my lord? Today they can kill my lord, and tomorrow they can kill the general. ”

Li Dao said excitedly: "General Yue, these people are despicable and shameless, and they can do anything. What kind of community and common people, in their eyes, is not as good as a dog and an ant. ”

Yue Fei waved his hand at him and said, "I can't believe that Taishi Dong was actually killed by Wang Yun. General Li, you talk about it carefully. ”

Li Wei glanced at Li Ru, who was standing on the side. Li Ru comprehended, and arched his hand and said: "General Yue, the news from Chang'an says ......"

Yue Fei asked strangely, "Chang'an?" Who sent you the news in Chang'an? ”

Li Ru said: "Liu Ai." ”

"He's not dead? What about Tian Yi? Yue Fei was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Tian Yi was hacked to death in Weiyang Palace with a knife." Li Ru said, "Liu Ai didn't go to Weiyang Palace with Taishi, he was in Taishi's Mansion at the time. Huangfu Song was responsible for leading the army to attack and kill the Taishi Mansion. He had a deep personal relationship with Liu Ai and secretly hid him in the army. Liu Ai was lucky to save his life. ”

Li Ru gave a general account of what happened in Chang'an.

"What are you going to do?" Yue Fei asked, "You came to me, are you planning to go to Northern Xinjiang to avoid trouble?" ”

"General Yue, will the general agree?" Li Dao asked nervously.

Yue Fei thought for a moment and said, "I think my family master's guild agreed. ”

Yue Fei knows his lord's personality very well, don't look at the fact that he has been fighting continuously over the years, and he has almost never stopped. However, he was not a belligerent man, but a man who cherished the lives of his soldiers. If the problem can be resolved by peaceful means, he will definitely not have any objections.

Now, there are still tens of thousands of troops in the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and they are still a force to be reckoned with. If you fight them, the casualties will definitely be not small. If he could surrender the army without a fight and let these people serve, the lord would definitely be happy.

After Li Dao and Li Ru received Yue Fei's promise, they were very happy and returned to the Taolin Fortress as fast as possible, but Guo Yan, who came out of the customs to greet them, gave them bad news.

Li Su and Hu Zhen led their troops to Huayin, joined forces with Duan Xuan and Bao Hong, and launched an attack on Tongguan. Li Su also sent someone to send a holy decree from the Son of Heaven, urging Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals of Xiliang to immediately kill Niu Fu and Li Ru, and then go to Beijing to plead guilty to the Son of Heaven.

Niu Fu and Xiliang Zhu were cornered by the imperial army and had no choice but to fight back.

At this time, the generals of Xiliang have no worries, and they can completely give it a go and fight for their own survival.

Niu Fu was not at ease with Yue Fei's promise, and said, "Can Yue Fei's words be taken seriously?" Once the army launched a counterattack, there were only two armies in the western part of the country, Zhang Ji in Hongnong City and Guo Yan in Taolin Fortress, and they might not be able to stop Yue Fei's Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

Li Wei sneered: "At this time, do we have any choice? Spelled. ”

In late April, the Battle of Tongguan began. Niu Fu, Li Dao, Fan Chou, Wang Fang, Li Ru, and Zhang Xiu each led the army, took the initiative to go out of the pass, and launched a crazy counterattack against the northern army of the imperial court.

When the fierce battle was in full swing, Hu Zhen suddenly turned against him and led his army to attack Bao Hong. Bao Hong was killed in battle, and the northern army was defeated.

Li Su and Duan Xuan retreated to Huayin and asked Chang'an for help.

When the news reached Chang'an, Chang'an was shocked.

Situ Wang Yun was very angry. In front of the Son of Heaven and his ministers, he accused the hussar general Li Yi of being arrogant, arrogant, and bending the law, and openly disobeying the holy decree.

Wang Yun said: "As early as April, the imperial court had sent a letter to Li Yi of Quanzhou and Yue Fei of Guanxi, ordering them to immediately attack the rebellion in Guanxi, but they turned a deaf ear and did not move, causing the rebellion to counterattack successfully and threaten Chang'an. ”

Wang Yun begged the Son of Heaven to give another decree and urge Yue Fei to attack Niu Fu immediately.

Huangfu Song raised objections, and he strongly advocated appeasement and was willing to rush to Tongguan in person.

Wang Yun immediately refused. (To be continued.) )
