After resting in Luoyang for two days, leaving a cart of food and seeds for the refugees who still insisted on living here, Xun Zhen and his party continued on their way.

After crossing the border of Henan, Hongnong was in the sphere of influence of the Xiliang Army.

With Henan as a buffer, the junction of Henan and Hongnong, the garrison of Tongguan is not tight. Xun Zhen was stripped of most of the goods before being allowed to enter, and secretly looked at these Xiliang soldiers. They are generally tall and vulgar in speech, but they are not as brutal and bloodthirsty as the Kanto people demonize, and they are murderous. At first glance, it seems that the soldiers of Xiliang are no different from the soldiers of other warlords in the Kanto region, they all look like ruffians with loose military discipline. And many of them have yellow hair, high foreheads, deep eye sockets, and they are not Han people at first glance, Xun Zhen secretly said that Dong thief was born in Xiliang, and often gets along with the Qiang people, and even won the support of the Qiang people, so it seems that this is indeed the case. At this time, the Qiang people were very powerful in Xiliang, and Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty sent large armies many times, although they won many victories, but they were never able to completely suppress the Qiang people. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the strength of the imperial court weakened, and the Qiang Beigong Boyu hijacked the famous scholar Han Sui of Xiliang to rebel, and then various changes led to the imperial court finally losing control of Xiliang. Dong Zhuo was known as a prestige among the Qiang people, and in the battle with the Kwantung princes, the soldiers suffered some heavy losses, so he recruited a large number of Qiang people into the army in Liangzhou.

Xun Zhen turned around and said to Liao Cen, who was a member of the wolf cavalry of the Bingzhou Guard: "Brother Liao, look at those Xiliang soldiers, how about my and the state army. ”

Liao Cen curled up his tall body on the carriage, and a pair of shining eyes carefully looked at half of the salary, "It's not bad, and Liangxiong's soldiers are famous all over the world, I can't see anything else, these Xiliang'er's riding skills are not worse than my and state athletes, but the military discipline and equipment are much worse, if there is a battle, I and the state army can be ten." ”

Saying this, he puffed up his chest proudly, and didn't take the Xiliang soldiers who were feared by the Kwantung princes in his eyes. The other Jinyi guards who heard this also nodded in agreement.

Xun Zhen smiled gently, he knew that these people were the elite of Yunshuo's army, and they had their own arrogance. They said that the state soldiers could fight ten Xiliang soldiers at a time, which must be an exaggeration, and among the state soldiers, only the Yuan Shuo army could be overwhelmed by the Xiliang army in terms of armed riding equipment. Of course, in the eyes of these arrogant soldiers, the current Bingzhou army that does not belong to the original Shuofang army is not called the Bingzhou army at all, according to the words of the lord, they are just reserves. According to Yun's idea, he couldn't fully control the state army before, but now that he is fully controlled, he will have to make drastic reforms. It's a pity that Yun's idea has always been a loft in the sky without the support of money and food.

"How are you compared to the Qiang?" ”

A trace of solemnity appeared on Liao Cen's face, "The Qiang people are good at horsemanship, and of course our Shuo Fang army is not afraid, but only one-tenth of the others can compare with it." ”

Xun Zhen sighed, didn't say anything, and the group continued to hurry.

Chang'an City, midnight, Sikong Xunshuang Fuzhong.

Xun Shuang, who is now in his sixties, is reading a copy of "Yi", he is sitting on the back, his voice is loud, and he does not relax at all.

Xun Shuang's word Ciming is the sixth of Xun's Eight Dragons, known as Mr. Liulong, and has Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming's unparalleled evaluation. He is very admirable both as a person and as a scholar, and Dong Zhuo, who was previously in charge of the government and eager to be recognized by scholars, was promoted to Sikong like Luoyang. He also looked down on Dong Zhuo, who was born in a martial artist and was ambitious. But in order to guide Dong Zhuo to be loyal to the Han, he was still very respectful to Dong Zhuo, so he respected Dong Zhuo very much. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo gave up on himself after repeatedly showing favor to scholars and not being recognized, completely revealing his brutal nature, he forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an, and countless innocent people were implicated and died. Dong Zhuo in order to entrap the Xiliang soldiers who gradually disobeyed the call, connived at them to cause trouble and make the people suffer, Dong Zhuo bullied the Son of Heaven, wantonly slaughtered hundreds of officials, and made Xun Shuang hate him, the reason why he is still willing to flatter Dong Zhuo against his will is just to be able to speak in front of Dong Zhuo and protect a few more people.

Situ Wang Yun discussed with him before, and everyone conspired to kill Dong Zhuo, but although Dong Zhuo was brutal, as a prominent warlord in the late Han Dynasty, he did not lack brains. Wang Yunxun Shuang and others had a headache.

After reading the book, Xun Cheng, a family member standing aside, said, "My lord, you have to rest." ”

Xun Chengcheng is the eyeliner sent by Dong Zhuo under the pretext of protecting him, his original name is Ma Cheng, Xun Shuang has never practiced martial arts, but he can also see that Xun Cheng is an enemy of a hundred people. Although he is extremely jealous of Xun Cheng, Xun Shuang is gentle and kind to others, so he is also very good to Xun Cheng.

"It's not early, I'm going to rest too, Ah Cheng, you go and rest too." ”

"If adults don't sleep, subordinates don't dare to sleep." ”

Xun Shuang knew that this was Xun Cheng's duty, so he just said that he should pay attention to rest, so he undressed and fell asleep, and Xun Cheng was guarding outside the house.

Xun Shuang's heart was open, and he soon fell asleep. Xun Cheng was standing upright outside the door, and suddenly heard a birdsong, he remained silent, wiped his mouth with his hand, and also let out a long birdsong, and there was an echo not far away. The two parties came and went, and after more than a dozen birdsong sounds, Xun Cheng went out to the toilet. Xun Shuang is poor, childless, and his wife also died early, except for Xun Cheng in the family, there are only two old slaves who sleep early.

Xun Cheng went out, saw the unique code mark of Jinyiwei in the corner of the wall, and knew it in his heart, so he went back to the house and fell asleep.

And in Xun Shuang's house, Xun Zhen quietly touched in.

"Uncle, uncle. ”

Xun Shuang was woken up by Xun Zhen, and when he saw Xun Zhen, he was shocked, "Zhenzhi, how are you here?" Saying that, he went to look outside the door, but he didn't see Xun Cheng's figure.

"Uncle, don't worry, the guard has been lured away. Xun Zhen and Liao Cen have discussed, and they don't plan to reveal the identity of Xun Chengjinyiwei's spy.

Xun Zhen told Xun Shuang about his surrender to the state, and Xun Shuang sighed, "Chu Ziyang was born in a crowd of thieves, and now although he is a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he is a little loyal." ”

Xun Zhen listened to Xun Shuang's words, his face was embarrassed, he was not loyal to the Han family, so he defected to Yun who was born in the Yellow Turban, and let Xun Shuang say this, he was also a little embarrassed.

Seeing Xun Zhen's embarrassment, the wise old man smiled, "You have always had the ambition of the Quartet, and you have no heart of humility, I heard that Chu Ziyang is very generous, and the little official stabs him in the face, so that he can be taught, thinking that only he can be the master of Zhenzhi." ”

Xun Shuang saw that Xun Cheng would not come for a long time, and knew that the state army had its own means, so he was relieved to talk to Xun Zhen. Xun Shuang talked about Xun You's plot to kill Dong Zhuo and was arrested and taken to prison, Xun Zhen was also very worried, he was slightly older than Xun You, although the two were called uncles and nephews, but their relationship was like brothers.

Xun Shuang comforted him not to worry too much, and told Xun Zhen about his plot with Wang Yun and others to kill Dong Zhuo, Xun Zhen was secretly frightened, and secretly said that Dong thief really abandoned the world, and secretly infiltrated Chang'an, just to use Xun Shuang Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but they didn't expect that they had already started plotting.

Xun Zhen and Xun Shuang talked all night before saying goodbye, and when they left, they saw the old man touching their shoulders, their wise eyes were a little moist, and they wanted to stop talking, and they suddenly understood, and they couldn't help but cry.

Two days later, Sikong Xun Shuang, holding a volume of "Li", sat outside the courtroom and lost his breath.

Pressing the grief of losing a loved one, Xun Zhen used the power of Situ Wang Yun and a series of ministers who intended to kill Dong Zhuo, secretly wandered around Chang'an, contacted all forces, and even met with the imprisoned Xun You. While Dong Zhuo continued his absurd and brutal life, an invisible net had already rushed towards him.

But it's not enough, although Dong Zhuo has fallen, he is still a fierce tiger, a tiger with sharp claws, strong wings, and blood, although Wang Yue, who is consummated in the lower dantian, is the sword that Yun found to kill the tiger, but there is no guarantee that he can kill Dong Zhuo. Like killing Dong Zhuo, you have to pluck out his wings, Dong Zhuo's wings are undoubtedly the number one fierce general in the world, Wen Hou Lu Bu.

So, Lu Bu, who contacted his son-in-law again and named his granddaughter Qian'er, received an invitation from Situ Wangyun. The serial scheme began.

Unconsciously, a few months passed, and the state army with the general momentum of the army, forced the east of the river, the exhausted Baibo army surrendered, Yun broke up its establishment, appointed Hua Xin as the captain of Tuntian, Zhuge Jin and Sun Qian, all of them were placed in Tuntian, Hedong. The generals who participated in the war were rewarded according to their military merits, and Tian Feng and others, who had newly joined the Bingzhou Army, also proved their ability and guaranteed their status.

The elite cavalry of Bingzhou quietly hoarded in the east of the river, always waiting for the drastic changes in Chang'an and raiding into Chang'an.

The day of killing Dong is near.
