Lin Nan arched his hand and said, "No! ”

When the counsel was finished, the people dispersed. A day later, Yuan Shu, Liu Xuan, and Yuan Yi left Chenliu with their soldiers and horses and headed for Nanyang, preparing to attack Wuguan. Yuan Shao took Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Youbeiping, Qiao Mao of Dongjun, Zhang Miao of Chen Liutai, Bao Xin, and Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of Beihai, to support the Northern Route Army, leaving only Lin Nan, Liu Yu, Cao Cao, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, and Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao to support Sun Jian. From the beginning of the alliance, Liu Bei has always appeared as Liu Yu's general, who made him not a Hou, all the people who came to the alliance, almost all of them were people who had been named Hou, only Liu Bei was not, and he also recognized Liu Yu as his uncle, Liu Yu has always regarded him as his own general, perhaps it was also caused by Liu Yu in order to beware of Liu Bei. The human heart is so complex, the good people and the bad people cannot be distinguished at all in this era, and there is no need to distinguish them, which is the case in the troubled world.

Among the heroes, there is only one state pastor, that is Liu Yu, the difference between the state pastor and the state assassin is that the state pastor can control all the military and political power in the state, but the state assassin cannot, so there will be local Taishou who have come to the alliance. As a Youzhou pastor, Liu Yu is not too qualified, because he has not been able to integrate Youzhou's soldiers and horses, he and Lin Nan, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei each have soldiers and horses, but they are not unified Youzhou soldiers. However, then again, even if Liu Yu wants to integrate, his strength will be very weak in the face of characters such as Lin Nan, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei under his hands. However, he still integrated Liu Bei's soldiers and horses with the help of Lin Nan and included Liu Bei in his barracks.

From Chenliu to Xingyang, the cavalry can arrive in one day, and there are fewer cavalry in the middle route army, except for the 10,000 cavalry of Lin Nan, there are basically few cavalry. Most of them are infantry. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were the largest in the middle route army, with 30,000 people, which he was willing to bring out, and he left 20,000 horses in Changyi, the governing place of Yanzhou Assassin History, and even the 2,000 soldiers and horses of Shanyang Taishou Yuan's relics were funded by him.

As soon as the soldiers and horses left Chenliu. Lin Nan said goodbye to Liu Yu, Cao Cao and others, and led 10,000 cavalry to gallop to Bishui Pass to support Sun Jian.

……

The sun is dusk and yellow, and the twilight is vast. The clouds are like flocculents, sweeping across the bleak sky, drawing a bloody mouth in the sky, dyeing red and hanging the sky and cloud wings, a lone goose with blood, hovering over the devastated earth, staring sadly and quietly at the water pass that is about to fall.

Smoke billowed from under the walls. Some of the embers were still burning on the hordes of corpses under the walls, the charred corpses of which had long since lost their breath, but the stiff arms showed how painful they struggled before they died.

On the city wall of Bishui Pass, Li Ru stood there, a little sweat oozing from his forehead, frowning, and his eyes were firmly looking at the military camp not far from the city. You can vaguely see a big flag of "Changsha Taishou Sun" fluttering in the breeze above the barracks.

Beside Li Ru, there were two cloaks standing side by side. The big man in armor had an extremely hideous face on his face.

"Li Ru, why don't you let us go out of the city to fight Sun Jian?" A big man with a long thin face and a hooked nose shouted violently.

"Taishi said that Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, not to mention that you also saw it with your own eyes in the battle just now. Hu Zhen was stabbed to death after only one round of fighting with his subordinate Cheng Pu, and his subordinates were all brave, not to mention himself? Li Ru was also very annoyed by the dissatisfaction of the big man beside him, "Li Dao, the Taishi's order is to guard the Bishui Pass. Although Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are few, they are all elite soldiers, our army has just arrived, and has not yet rested, and the soldiers are tired and cannot fight lightly. ”

The big man is Li Dao, a native of the North, and the one standing next to him is Guo Yan, a native of Zhangye, the two of them, together with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, are the four confidants and generals under Dong Zhuo's account, and each of them is extraordinary. When Dong Zhuo recruited troops in Liangzhou for the first time, the four of them came to vote one after another, and thus became Dong Zhuo's first batch of old departments.

"Afraid of a ball! We have 50,000 people, and the other side has less than 4,000 left, although the offensive was relatively fierce when we attacked the city just now, but none of us Xiliang athletes are vegetarians. Li Ru, if you are afraid, get out of the back, I will fight with Guo Yan, attack Sun Jian left and right, and I will definitely be able to take Sun Jian's head and dedicate it to the Taishi! "Li Dao has a very stinky temper and speaks very impulsively, which is the case with most of the martial artists in Liangzhou.

Li Ru is also a native of Liangzhou, but he is not brave, although he can also ride a horse and shoot arrows, but he is more resourceful, and has traveled to Luoyang and Chang'an, and has learned a lot of good tactics in the art of war. After returning to Liangzhou, he wanted to show his skills, but he was attacked by the Qiang people, but fortunately, Dong Zhuo repelled the Qiang people with soldiers and horses, rescued him, and later married his daughter to him. Therefore, for him, Dong Zhuo is not only his savior, but also contains very complex feelings. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo was transferred to the east, and he stayed in Longxi to take care of Dong Zhuo's family.

When Beigong Boyu rebelled, he took Dong Zhuo's family to hide in the mountains, until the rebellion was quelled and Dong Zhuo returned to Longxi with soldiers and horses, he was born, and then he has been following Dong Zhuo's side. Although he was a little afraid of Dong Zhuo, he was also very respectful, because Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition allowed him to get many benefits. Therefore, as soon as he heard that someone did not obey Dong Zhuo's orders, he would be very angry.

"Li Dao! You may not listen to me, but you must not disobey the orders of the Master. The Taishi had an order first, only held on, did not fight, and waited for the Taishi to lead troops to support. ”

Li Dao heard Li Ru's low roar, and he was also a little stunned, for him, Li Ru is a monster that eats people and does not spit out bones, he doesn't have to do anything, just a word, he can make people die without a place to be buried. In addition, Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Dong Zhuo is almost obedient to Li Ru's words, although his official title is above Li Ru, he does not dare to offend Li Ru lightly, he understands in his heart that offending Li Ru is equivalent to his life. He said no more, turned and left the tower.

Guo Yan on the side was relatively tactful, and saw that there was a little stalemate between Li Dao and Li Ru, so he said to Li Ru: "Everyone is also here to break the enemy, Li Dao's temper is like this, sometimes I can't accept it, and please dissipate your anger." Besides, the Taishi has an order first, but that is based on your success in persuading Sun Jian. Now not only did you not convince Sun Jian, but instead angered Sun Jian, and the Taishi had to scold him when he came. It's better to send troops to attack Sun Jian first. When the Taishi comes, you can also use this matter to atone for the crime, breaking Sun Jian is equivalent to giving the coalition a dismount, what do you think? ”

After Li Ru listened, he was also very stunned in his heart, and thought about it carefully. He immediately said, "Okay, just do it, but you two must follow my arrangement, and if you fight hard, we will only have too many casualties." ”

Guo Yan smiled, patted Li Ru's shoulder, and said, "You are a think tank, we listen to you." ”

Li Ru said: "You go and sue Li Dao, let him prepare and prepare, tonight's three watches." We robbed the camp! ”

Guo Yan nodded, turned around and went down the city tower.

On the flat ground five miles outside the Bishui Pass, a large camp stands alone, and the banner of "Changsha Taishou Sun" flutters gently under the breeze.

The sun had completely sunset, the sky was gradually darkening, and the fire began to rise in the camp, and torches were lit at this time.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Jian touched his ancient ingot knife. The extremely sharp blade reflects the cold light of the cold forest, which makes people feel a chill when they look at it.

"Father!"

A twelve, thirteen, half-year-old boy strode in. hugged his fist towards Sun Jian and bowed respectfully.

Sun Jian inserted the ancient ingot knife into the scabbard, waved to the boy, showed a smile, and said softly, "Bo Fu, come here." ”

The boy was Sun Jian's eldest son. His name is Sun Ce, the word Bofu, and he is just twelve years old this year. However, although he is young, his physical development is very good, and he has been practicing martial arts under Sun Jian's teaching since he was a child. has reached the point where he is skilled in arching horses, and coupled with his natural divine power, he has always been Sun Jian's favorite son. This time, Sun Jian came to the alliance, and he also specially brought him over, so that he could see the big scene and recognize the appearance of the world's heroes.

Sun Ce walked to Sun Jian's side, and under the reflection of the light, his face was completely revealed. Sun Ce's face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like a meteor, and he is so thin that he can no longer see a trace of immaturity on his face, but there is a maturity that should not appear at this age.

Sun Jian grabbed Sun Ce's thicker hand, his face showed a fatherly and peaceful expression, and asked, "Bo Fu, have you done everything I told you to do?" ”

Sun Ce said: "Back to my father's words, those wounded soldiers have settled down, please don't worry about my father." ”

"Well, you are still young now, now follow the army, you have to communicate with the soldiers more, and when you grow up and replace you to lead the soldiers, you will know that as a general, if you don't cherish your soldiers, you will inevitably be spurned by the soldiers. I want you to keep it in mind tightly, and in the future, you will be a good general who cherishes your subordinates, and it is best to be like your Uncle Lin. ”

A trace of doubt appeared on Sun Ce's face, and he immediately asked, "Father, the child is not young, he is already twelve!" Besides, Uncle Lin I secretly met, when the alliance was met that day, he came to see off my father, and I saw that he was not a few years older than me. I thought that Uncle Lin was the same age as my father, who knew that he would be so young, he should be my brother......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sun Jian let go of Sun Ce's hand and said slightly angrily, "Lin Nan and I are called brothers, isn't he your uncle?" Although he is not a few years older than you, he is both wise and brave, and he is also very steady, and I have learned a lot from him. If you reach that age and can have half the stability of his, I will be satisfied. ”

Sun Ce didn't speak again, because he couldn't understand why his most admired father would respect Lin Nan so much, and in his opinion, Lin Nan was not much older than him. He secretly kept the name Lin Nan firmly in his heart, and when he was ready to see Lin Nan again in the future, he must compete with Lin Nan to see if Lin Nan was really as brave as his father said.

At this time, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao all walked in one after another, saw Sun Jian and Sun Ce there, and worshiped at the same time: "See the lord, the young lord!" ”

Sun Jian raised his hand, motioned for Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to sit down together, and immediately said to them: "You guys came just in time, I was about to send someone to call you." ”

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao are of different ages, and the figures of the four can't help but be the same, they all belong to the stout type. Among them, Cheng Pu is the oldest, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he followed Sun Jian, who was just a pawn at the time, and later followed Sun Jian to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, and only ten of the five thousand soldiers and horses survived. And Cheng Pu is one of those ten people. Later, Sun Jian went to Changsha to be a taishou, and only brought the ten old departments, and he had many contacts with Cheng Pu on the way to office, only to find out that Cheng Pu was a talent, so he made him the captain of the army.

After Sun Jian arrived in Changsha, it didn't take long for a man named Ou Xing in Changsha to rebel. Sun Jian began to recruit troops and horses, and won 2,000 soldiers, and Han Dang and Zu Mao, who were wandering in the rivers and lakes, joined Sun Jian's army. During the conquest of Ou Xing, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao killed a lot of enemies, and they were promoted to military Sima by Sun Jian. Later, Qu Xing moved to Lingling, and Huang Gai, a native of Lingling, joined Sun Jian's army with Xiang Yong, made meritorious contributions in the first battle, killed one of the leaders of Qu Xing, and was also promoted by Sun Jian to military Sima. Sun Jian and Ou Xing fought hard for half a month. finally swept away the rebellion of Ou Xing, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao also emerged in this battle, and they were all promoted by Sun Jian as henchmen, and they were all loyal and brave generals.

After Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao sat down, they asked in unison, "I don't know what the lord commands?" ”

Sun Jian said: "The city wall of Bishui Pass is high and thick, although our army defeated Xu Rong yesterday, but since Xu Rong retreated to Bishui Pass, he has received reinforcements brought by Li Dao and Guo Yan. The momentum is high. Although the city was stormed once, it was a pity that Dong Jun's defense was very tight. Hundreds of soldiers were lost in vain. Our army has few soldiers, and although it is a pioneer, it cannot be tough. Therefore, I decided to retreat thirty miles tonight until reinforcements arrived. ”

Cheng Pu arched his hand and said: "Lord, Lin Nanzheng, the general of Zhenbei, is leading troops to support. His subordinates are all cavalry, and it seems that it will not take long to arrive, but if we are temporarily stationed here tonight, when General Lin's reinforcements arrive, our army will not have to retreat. On the contrary, it will greatly boost the morale of our army. ”

"Having said that, just in case, it is still reasonable to withdraw the troops quickly. Otherwise, if the Dong army robbed the camp at night, I was afraid that our army would be difficult to resist. Today, the Dong Army's reinforcements have just arrived, and the reason why they don't go to war is probably to recharge their energy and rob the camp at night. Therefore, our army must avoid engaging with the reinforcements of the Dong army. You all gave the order to go down, and led all the men and horses to quietly leave the camp after dinner, leaving the empty camp to the Dong army, and our army went down to the village thirty miles away. ”

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao all felt justified when they heard this, so they stood up together and arched their hands: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Sun Jian turned his head to Sun Ce and said, "You are responsible for the transfer of wounded soldiers. ”

Sun Ce hugged his fists and said: "The child has to be ordered!" ”

After the order was completed, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Sun Ce went out of the big tent. Sun Jian was the only one left in the tent, he began to put on his armor, put on his helmet, tied the ancient ingot knife around his waist, strode out of the tent, and began to prepare for the evacuation.

At the same time, in Zhongmu County, Lin Nan was galloping westward with Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Hua Xiong and 10,000 cavalry. No one dared to stop the mighty cavalry passing through, and the people in the area around Sili knew that there was going to be a war, and the people east of Bishui Pass all fled to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, while the people west of Bishui Pass all fled to Sanfu, and they did not want to be affected by the war. Therefore, there are uninhabited villages within 200 miles of Bishui Pass, and some county towns are also empty, and they have undoubtedly become refugees directly affected by the war.

It was getting dark, Lin Nan took the lead, the injury on his arm had already healed, and he could gallop on the battlefield alive again, but he also knew in his heart that his chances of going to the battlefield in person in the future might be minimal.

"Where are you now?" When Lin Nan heard that Dong Zhuo had sent 50,000 troops to support Bishui Pass, he was very anxious in his heart, fearing that Sun Jian's entire army would be annihilated, because once Sun Jian's entire army was annihilated, the coalition forces might all stagnate.

"Lord Qiqi, I just arrived in Zhongmu." Jia Xu replied on the side.

"How much time do you have left to get to Xingyang?" Lin Nan continued to ask.

"Four watches tonight at the latest." Jia Xu replied tirelessly, because Lin Nan had asked every once in a while since he left Chen Liu, and he also understood what Lin Nan was worried about.

"Pass the order, speed up!" Lin Nan had shouted this order for the eighth time, and the speed at which he was galloping now was already the limit of the horses of the entire army. However, he is used to riding oolong horses, and when he rides these war horses again, he will feel very slow. He couldn't help but think back to his oolong foal again, and regretted that he had rushed so hard by himself that he had caused the oolong foal to be killed by a rain of arrows.

Jia Xu still conveyed Lin Nan's order as usual, and there was still a series of solitaire-like voices behind him.

The army had gone forward for less than five miles, and it was completely dark, and in the darkness of the night, a fast horse came from the opposite side. The knights on horseback with torches stood out in the dark night.

Lin Nan and all the others were attracted by the horses that were approaching each other, and from the faint light of the fire, they could see that the knight was wearing a post man's clothes, carrying a burden on his back, and holding a torch high in his hand. On the saddle behind him stood a small flag, on which you could faintly see embroidered with the fiery red word "Yi".

The post pawn is the Han court responsible for delivering the news, as long as it is the territory of the Han Dynasty, no matter where it is, there is a post station, and the person who runs between the post stations is the post pawn. The sign of the postman is also the most typical, both in war and in peacetime. As long as there is such a typical post man passing through, no one will stop him. In other words, the post guard was the safest occupation in the Han Dynasty, but it was also the most tiring, running back and forth every day, suffering from wind and rain.

However, at this time, the country of Dahan has begun to be stormy. Clerks have also gradually become a high-risk profession. Because the authority of the Han court was gone, the letters carried by the post guards became secrets that might have been exchanged between the princes. They are generally plundered. With the fading out of the postman, the scout sometimes took on the role of the postman, and some of the fine works also shared the work of the postman on the Cheng dù.

For the post guards who were gradually coming in front of him, Lin Nan couldn't help but sneered and said, "I didn't expect that the big man would send a post guard at this time, rob it, and look at the letters he carried!" ”

Tai Shi Ci followed closely by Lin Nan's side. After hearing Lin Nan's order, he took a horse and came out with a few knights, and stopped the post man at the moment.

The postman did not panic at all, and when he saw several knights surrounding him, he immediately reined in his horses. Hurriedly asked, "But the soldiers and horses of the Zhenbei general Lin Nan?" ”

Tai Shici's face was stunned, then he nodded and responded: "Exactly!" ”

"I finally saw ......" The postman turned over and dismounted, first took off a burden from his back, took out a letter from the burden as if no one was around, and shouted at Tai Shici, "Take me to see your lord, I have something important to look for him." ”

Tai Shi Ci was very puzzled, but he still dodged the road, turned the horse's head and shouted softly: "Follow me!" ”

The post guard followed Tai Shici forward for a while, and saw a large number of cavalry parked in front, and in the reflection of the moonlight, he saw that the first person was Lin Nan, and his face showed joy, and he hurriedly shouted: "General Lin...... General Lin ......"

Lin Nanzheng was staring at the post guard who was brought to him, and when he heard the post guard shouting, he only felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while. When the postman walked in, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the postman's face, and he saw who the postman was, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, hurried up to meet him, and shouted: "I really didn't expect to meet you here, Gai Changshi, why are you dressed like this?" ”

That post guard was none other than Gai Xun. When he saw Lin Nan, an indescribable joy appeared on his face, but in just a moment, the joy vanished, but in exchange for a hesitation, he held the letterhead in his hand with both hands, lowered his head and said: "General Lin, please open this letter quickly!" ”

Seeing that Gai Xun's expression was so stern, Lin Nan immediately took the letterhead and shouted at the soldiers: "The torch is coming!" ”

Tai Shi Ci galloped to Gai Xun's mount, picked up the torch that Gai Xun threw on the ground, and returned to Lin Nan's side again, holding the torch high to dispel the darkness around Lin Nan.

Lin Nan opened the letterhead, reflecting the firelight, he hurriedly browsed it, then closed the letterhead, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen this letter?" ”

Gai Xun shook his head and said, "Although I haven't read it, I already know the general meaning of the letter." General Lin, how are you going to deal with this? ”

Lin Nan met an old friend by chance, and saw Gai Xun dressed as a post officer, and he knew what was going on, so he immediately said: "Does anyone else know about this?" ”

Gai Xun said: "As soon as the old thief sent a letter, he asked me to send it to you personally, this letter did not pass through anyone's hands, when I came, I met Sun Wentai on the road, asked where you were, and then galloped over non-stop." ”

Lin Nan turned to Tai Shici and said, "You go and call the general, all the others stay where they are, and no one is allowed to come without my order." ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that Lin Nan was so strict, and he also realized the strictness of the situation, and he had always been curious. Then he asked, "Lord, what happened?" ”

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go and give the order!"

"No!" Tai Shi Ci was a little reluctant, but the first time he saw Lin Nan's expression was so strict, even when facing the Wuhuan people, he had never seen such an expression. He also glanced at the letterhead in Lin Nan's hand as he turned his horse's head. I thought to myself what was written in it, and it actually made the lord so strict.

In just a few seconds, Jia Xu caught up from behind, standing beside Lin Nan, Mr. arched his hand towards Gai Xun, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and then asked, "Lord, what's going on?" ”

Lin Nan handed the letterhead to Jia Xu and asked softly, "How many of the original Flying Feather Army soldiers are left?" ”

Jia Xu took the letterhead and didn't start reading it yet. As soon as he heard Lin Nan's question, he already understood what was happening, so he gathered the letterhead into a ball, held it tightly in his hand, and said softly: "There are still seven hundred and thirty-eight people, and the rest are all killed in battle." Isn't Dong Zhuo ......?"

"Well, do you know what to do about this?" Lin Nan said very coldly.

Jia Xu bowed and said, "The subordinates understand, leave this matter to the subordinates." The names of the seven hundred and thirty-eight men were kept in mind. ”

Lin Nan nodded, turned his face to Gai Xun and said, "Gai Changshi." How is Master Fu? Were you also taken hostage by Dong Zhuo? ”

Gai Xun sighed heavily and said softly, "Master Fu is no longer here......"

Lin Nan was slightly surprised, because Fu Xie and Gai Xun had helped him a lot, and when they were in Liangzhou and Chen Cang, the relationship between the three of them was still very harmonious, and there was a trace of sadness on his face. He showed a trace of grief and indignation, and immediately said: "Master Fu, he ...... What's going on? Isn't it Dong Zhuo......"

"It's hard to put into words!" Gai Xun sighed again, "We never dreamed that the old thief would kidnap Lord Sikong...... On the night when the old thief kidnapped Lord Sikong, the old thief also sent troops to surround the Taishou Mansion at the same time, wanting to kidnap us together. Master Fu couldn't bear this humiliation, so he drew his sword and killed himself...... Originally, I ...... I'm going to go with Master Fu too, but Master Fu asked me to take care of his only son before he killed himself, so I ......."

"Master Fu is upright and upright, even if he is no longer alive, he will always live in our hearts." Lin Nan was silent for a long time, and he really couldn't find words to mourn the deceased, for him, Fu Xie's death was too worthless, so although he felt a trace of regret, he didn't sympathize, and only a trace of nonsensy appeared on his face. Since he came to this era inexplicably, there have always been dead people in front of him, maybe he is used to seeing dead people, and he can't mention a trace of sadness if he is not the most important person.

Jia Xu is much stronger than Lin Nan in this regard, whether it is sincere or false, in short, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes. It is impossible to distinguish the authenticity in the dark night, but it only makes people see a general action, but it can make people have a different feeling.

Gai Xun didn't say anything, and he didn't want to say anything, seeing that the letter had been read by Lin Nan, he got back to business and asked, "How is the general going to reply to the old thief?" Is it righteousness to kill relatives, or is it ......"

Although Gai Xun didn't say the second half of the sentence, Lin Nan could also know what it meant, and immediately arched his hand and said: "There are eggs under the nest?" If I disobey the righteousness for the sake of my family, then I will be ridiculed by the world, and I, Lin Nan, will have no face to stand between heaven and earth. Please go back and tell Dong Thief that I will sacrifice my life for righteousness and swear to fight the old thief to the end. ”

Gai Xun suddenly laughed and said, "I was not mistaken, General Lin is just as I guessed in my heart." General Lin, I was entrusted by Master Fu to take care of his heirs, although I Gaixun did not have the same righteousness as General Lin, but I was also willing to stick a knife in the ribs for my friend. The reason why Dong Thief asked me to come was because General Lin and I knew each other well, and hoped that I would advise one or two from it. That old thief has already arrested my family, and I could have killed my relatives like General Lin, but Master Fu's entrustment is also righteous to me. Besides, now that the coalition forces are in full swing, even if I stay in the coalition forces, I can't help much. So, I ask for General Lin's understanding. ”

Lin Nan said: "Gai Changshi, you and I are already confidants, and I know these words if you don't say them." Gai Changshi, I have to work hard for you, go back and sue Dong thief, if you have the ability, you can do it with me, don't always do some dirty things. ”

"I'll tell you the truth." Gai Xun hesitated slightly, and said slowly, "Although the old thief has entangled the 200,000 Xiliang army, the 200,000 army is not stable, and one of the soldiers and horses is jointly led by Ma Teng and Han Sui. Sitting in the area of Sanfu, it is now heading towards Beijing. Ma Teng was very loyal to the Han family, and he, like many Han people in Liangzhou, was deceived by the rhetoric of the old thief. If General Lin had the opportunity to meet Ma Teng, he could completely influence him with righteousness, and he might fight back against the old thief. ”

Lin Nan nodded. Said: "Gai Changshi was loyal to the country, worked tirelessly, and personally revealed such an important secret, which touched me deeply. Farewell today, I hope Gai Changshi takes good care of himself, and when Luoyang is broken, I hope we can meet again. ”

Gai Xun smiled vaguely and said softly, "I hope." General Lin, Gai is leaving! ”

Lin Nan personally sent Gai Xun out. Seeing Gai Xun's figure disappear into the night, he sighed heavily. Turning his head, he said to Jia Xu: "You can tell those seven hundred and thirty-eight people about this matter, I think, this time to break through the Bishui Pass, it is up to them." ”

Jia Xu said "promise", and immediately called out 738 people from the ranks, while the rest of the soldiers rested on the spot. He brought the seven hundred and thirty-eight men to Lin Nan's side. Chao Lin Nan arched his hand and said, "Lord, everyone has brought it." ”

Lin Nan stood under a big tree on the side of the road. Seeing that the seven hundred and thirty-eight people were all the faces he was most familiar with, they all followed him from Chen Cang, they were his first loyal subordinates, and they were also the original members of the Flying Feather Army. He said aloud: "You have endured a lot of hardships since you followed me, and you have been traveling from south to north for more than a year. We are all brothers who share life and death. However, today I have to dismiss you and let you go back to your hometown in Liangzhou......"

"My lord! You don't want us anymore? A man who was already a military Sima shouted loudly, with a hint of confusion and innocence, and interrupted Lin Nan's words.

Lin Nan sighed. said: "We were born and died together, and we were already brothers whose blood was thicker than water, but for your good, I had to do this......"

"Lord ......" Almost at the same time, all the seven hundred and thirty-eight people knelt down and said in unison, "We follow the Lord from birth to death, without merit and hard work, how can the Lord treat us like this?" ”

Jia Xu stood up at this time and said loudly: "Actually...... The lord is also forced to do so, you are all the lord's right-hand man in the army, either the military Sima or the military marquis, and the loss of you in the army is equivalent to the collapse of the entire main backbone. However, Dong Thief has already captured your parents, brothers, wives, and children, and used your relatives to blackmail the lord, and if the lord does not take refuge in Dong Thief, they will kill your relatives. In fact...... In fact, the entire clan of the lord was also ...... by the Dong thief."

"Strategist! Don't say it, let them get out of here quickly, give them enough money and food, and let them go back to their hometown in Liangzhou to reunite with their families! Lin Nan directly interrupted Jia Xu's words, and expressed his extreme sadness, and at the same time wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Damn Dong thief!" The military Sima who spoke first scolded again, then stood up, facing the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground behind him, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, the lord has always been kind to us, although I, Li Tie, am from Liangzhou, but my parents have been killed and injured since I was a child, and I have not yet married a wife and had children, let alone brothers and sister......s."

"Li Sima, isn't your father still in Liangzhou? And your brother......" one of them suddenly cried out curiously.

"Shut up!" Li Tie yelled and interrupted the man's words, "I, Li Tie, will be alone from today onwards." The lord treats me well, I can be a military horse, and it is also the gift of the lord, I will follow the lord from now on, and I will go wherever the lord goes! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked in their hearts. Because they all know each other, they can be said to be brothers who are very familiar with each other, and everyone knows that Li Tie always likes to talk about his family on weekdays, how kind his parents are, how filial his brothers and sisters are, how virtuous his wife is, and how sensible his children are. After they listened to Li Tie's words, they were silent for a long time, and their initial worries turned into a kind of sadness and anger. They all knew very well in their hearts that Li Tie was killing his relatives in righteousness, giving up his small family, and taking care of everyone, and Dong Zhuo's atrocities were hated when they heard others talk about them when they met the alliance. They are now fighting in their hearts, fighting against their families......

The night was thick, and after a long silence, the people kneeling on the ground stood up at the same time, and bowed to Lin Nan in unison: "I will swear to follow the lord to the death, and in this life and this life, I will never deviate!" ”

As Lin Nan guessed in his heart, his plan worked, but he was very calm, and there was still a trace of sadness on his face, and he said slowly: "Why are you doing this, for my own sake, let your family all ...... How can I bear it, you ...... You'd better get out of here and go back to Liangzhou. ”

"If the lord is driving us away, we will die in front of the lord!" More than 700 people were determined to die, and they said in unison.

Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "You are all my good brothers...... Since you are all willing to follow me to the death, then we will give Dong Thief a dismount, and I want you to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into Bishui Pass. ”

Everyone said in unison: "Although the lord commands, I will not give up until I die!" ”

So, Lin Nan told the plan in detail. More than 700 people memorized it in their hearts, and finally left the army first under the leadership of Li Tie.

Looking at the figure of more than 700 people leaving, Lin Nan asked softly: "That one named Li Tie is the masterpiece of the military division, right?" ”

Jia Xu arched his hand towards Lin Nan and said with a smile: "The subordinates can't hide anything from the lord, Li Tie is indeed a subordinate who has been arranged among them from the beginning, and for more than a year, it is just to wait for today's day." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Good job, although Li Tie is not a general, but he is indeed a talent, if he can come back alive this time, he will be promoted to be a captain." ”

"No!"

At the third watch, thick clouds covered the entire moon, making the bright moonlight absent and the sky and the earth dark.

In Bishui Pass, Li Ru stood at the gate of the city, looking at the elite Xiliang cavalry who were ready to go, and showed a satisfied smile.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were fully armed, and each brought 5,000 Qianghu cavalrymen who were good at using spears behind them.

"You all do what I arranged, outflank the past from the flank, cut off Sun Jian's way back, half an hour later, Xu Rong will come out of the closed door, and then Xu Rong will raise the fire. As soon as the two of you saw the fire, they immediately struck out, besieging Sun Jian's camp on three sides, and it was difficult for him to fly even if he had wings. Li Ru made a straight face, afraid that Li Dao and Guo Yan would make a mistake, so he said solemnly again.

Li Dao said impatiently: "I know, I know, you have said it three times!" ”

Li Ru couldn't get used to Li Dao's self-righteous appearance, and he didn't like his expression of contempt for himself, but among Dong Zhuo's four henchmen and favorite generals, Li Dao was indeed a fierce general, killing all the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, basically Li Dao was the pioneer, and he also inherited Dong Zhuo's ruthlessness. He has always focused on the overall situation, and never had anything to do with Li Dao, even Li Dao's former general, he also took the initiative to let Dong Zhuofeng do it, just to stabilize people's hearts.

He ignored Li Dao, only flashed his body to the side, and shouted to the people behind him, "Open the city gate!" ”

As soon as the city gate was opened, Li Dao "drove" and drank softly, and galloped out of the city with a smoke, which was really a pioneer. But because his character was too impatient, he was able to quickly advance from Chang'an to Luoyang, and defeated Chun Yuqiong with tens of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army in Mianchi in one fell swoop, forcing Yuan Shao to be forced to leave Luoyang.
