The Yellow River, the mother river of China, originates from the Zhaqu and Kariqu in the Bayankara Mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yougu Zonglie Qu in the Xingzhu Sea. From west to east, it crosses nine provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong.

Through Ordos, Ningxia and the Hetao into Shaanxi, the Yellow River has changed the tranquility and grace of the past, and the flow is flowing straight down and rushing endlessly, as if a giant sword of the sky divides the Loess Plateau into two, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi are bounded by the river, with Shanxi on the left and Shaanxi on the right.

To Mengjindu, the flow of the Yellow River plummeted, and the river channel became wider and wider. Mengjin Pass, on the male across the Mengjin ferry, north of the Yellow River south of the Bi Ling, to the north of the mountain as a support, to the Yellow River water as a guard, to control the river to guard the pass, the terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Five or seven miles away from Mengjindu, there is a site of Huimengtai, which is said to be the place where King Wu of Zhou met with 800 princes when he was in the past.

Dong Zhuo, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was here. However, the dignified prime minister of the Han Dynasty obviously had no intention of appreciating the vast smoke and waves of Meng Jindu, nor did he have the intention of relying on the former demeanor of King Wu of Zhou, he was staring at the strategist Jia Xu under the tent at this time, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire.

The Tiger Prison Pass fell for a few days, and 50,000 Xiliang elites were killed and wounded, and the generals under his command were also captured by the enemy. In order to keep the Kwantung coalition forces out, he sent his elite divisions and sent important generals when he first established the Western Liang Army.

Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Li Meng and others, which one is not the confidant general he relies on? Which one is not a veteran of the battlefield? But with such a lineup, they died in a battle under the Tiger Prison Pass, and the generals were also caught by the Kwantung Coalition Army like turtles in an urn.

Now, the Kwantung Coalition actually wants him to exchange Yuan Kui and Wang Yun for those fools and hostages? This is the situation he has encountered in the army for decades, it is simply a great shame, shit can be tolerated, why don't those fools die!

Dong Zhuo gasped, and a pair of bull's eyes like copper bells stared directly at Jia Xu: "Jia Wenhe, did you want to keep the lives of Yuan Kui, Wang Yun and others in the first place, did you consider that Xu Rong and they would take the lives of Yuan and Wang as hostages once they were defeated?" ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Lord, although he is a little talented, he is not clever and can calculate everything." At the beginning, it was just considering the reputation of Yuan and Wang, if the slaughter of these two people on trumped-up charges would damage the reputation of the lord and not help the lord recruit people with lofty ideals in the world, how would he know about today's events! ”

"Then tell me, what should Dong do now?" Dong Zhuo stared at it for a long time, making sure that Jia Xu had no intention of deceiving, and nodded with satisfaction and asked.

Jia Xu knew that if Dong Zhuo accidentally saw through the mystery just now, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of this big camp today, and he was secretly relieved to see that Dong Zhuo had been prevaricated by himself: "My lord, although our army still controls Luoyang, and there are many brave men in the army, but now that we have become a tiger, I am afraid that we can only agree to Yuan Shao's request and exchange hostages with the Kwantung Coalition Army." ”

"Why?"

"In an army, soldiers are the base, and generals are important. In the past, Geng Gong was trapped in Jinpu, Emperor Zhang's 7,000 reinforcements went to the Western Regions, and thirteen soldiers returned to Yumen, so Yumen Pass was still upright; Li Shaoqing's Junji Mountain was besieged, and Emperor Wu failed to rescue him in time, resulting in Li Guangli's 80,000 troops defeating the Xiongnu, and Li Shaoqing finally surrendered to the Xiongnu.

Xu Nanyi and Huawen Yingju are all the generals under the command of the lord, and they fell into the hands of the enemy because of a defeat, if I don't rescue them, how do the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army think of the lord? Lieutenant generals and colonels dare to work hard and fight to the death? Can the lord dare to guarantee that Xu Nanyi and Hua Wenying will not be another Li Shaoqing? ”

Li Shaoqing is Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. good at riding and shooting,

He loves soldiers and is quite respected in the army. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he led the army to fight against the Xiongnu, led 5,000 infantry and 80,000 Xiongnu to fight in Junji Mountain, ran out of arrows, and Li Guangli and others failed to rescue, and 5,000 soldiers fought to 3,500 people, and then surrendered to the Xiongnu.

Dong Zhuo stroked the long beard under his chin, and sighed: "The momentum of riding a tiger must not be lowered!" What's more, they've taken the life of their true appearance! Lao Tzu can't let Xu Rong and Hua Xiong become the second Li Ling, right? ”

Hit the snake and hit seven inches, dig the tree and dig the roots first, Dong Zhuo is not bad, Wang Li's punch really hit his fate!

Imagine, if Dong Zhuo does not plan to replace Xu Rong and Huaxiong, the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command will inevitably turn their backs, and there will be no one who will serve to the death. The battlefield rushes to kill the sword without eyes, who doesn't worry about whether he will follow in Xu Rong's footsteps in the future, and who doesn't worry about whether Dong Zhuo will come to the rescue once he falls into the enemy's hands?

However, if Xu Rong and Hua Xiong are exchanged back in the camp, how will Dong Zhuo settle them? Idle or reused? Idle, the suspicion is too obvious. Reuse, right? In the face of the Kwantung Coalition Army that had captured them alive, how could Dong Zhuo rest assured that they would guard Mengjin, Luoyang and other fortresses?

Isn't Dong Zhuo worried about Xu Rong that they have reached some kind of agreement with the Kwantung Coalition Army? Even if Dong Zhuo used it with confidence and made it guard the three passes, would they still have the ambition and courage to face Wang Li and Yuan Shao, and even fight with them again?

Jia Xu sighed secretly, just from the matter of exchanging prisoners, this Wang Li really deserves to be the person whom I respect Mr. Bojing in Liangzhou, and he casually hit him, just like a fairy fart is extraordinary, holding Xiliangjun's throat tightly, firmly occupying the initiative, and making sure that he does not lose.

……

The wind is sluggish, and the water is cold.

The cool breeze swept across the beachhead of the Yellow River, the yellow water filled the sky under the Mengjin Pass, and a pontoon bridge meandered to connect the two banks. The hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides of the battle between the Western Liang Army and the Kwantung Coalition Army were divided into north and south, and the underwater walls were clearly distinguished.

Although it was only an exchange of prisoners, the murderous atmosphere in the air had silenced the black stork, wild goose, Daigo, white spoonbill and other water birds above the Yellow River, and quietly slipped into the lotus leaves and aquatic plants to hide.

Accompanied by the sound of the rolling Yellow River, a drum horn suddenly sounded on the south bank, majestic and magnificent, from far and near.

Yuan Shao wore a military uniform, straddled the white horse with his sword on his waist, slowly paced out of the battle formation under the horse bridge, looked at the mighty Xiliang army under the pass from afar, arched his hand, and shouted: "Where is Dong Zhongying?" Come out and answer! ”

"Humph! Who is my Tao? It turned out that it was the child of the Yuan family who was expelled from the capital by me that day, panicking like a lost dog? Dong Zhuo's legs were clamped, and the war horse under his crotch flew out of the camp like an arrow from the string, and stopped a long roar at the place where Yuan Shao was an arrow, and stared at the Kanto Great Array.

The Xiliang camp suddenly burst into laughter, and all kinds of ridicule and ridicule fell into the ears of the Kwantung Coalition Army like a bird with wings, and the Kwantung Coalition Army was dark.

Yuan Shaolema stopped, pointed at Dong Zhuo and said with a smile: "Dong Zhongying, although you usurped the Han family and murdered Li Shu, you did all kinds of evil, and Yuan also respected you as a man who dared to act, what?" Now you also want to learn from Zhang Yi and Su Qin, and be a mouth-shaker?

Yuan was indeed trapped by you and fled to the Bohai Sea in the past, but so what? In the past, my Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty also fled to the world because of the soldiers of the overlord of Western Chu, but in the end, it was not my Emperor Gaozu who turned the tide and determined the world, and the overlord of Chu ended up killing himself in Wujiang! ”

"Haha! Yuan Shaoxiao'er, you dare to compare yourself to Emperor Gaozu, aren't you afraid that your uncle will slap you in the face? ”

If you don't see through it, it's still a good friend. Although this was originally Yuan Shao

What I thought in my heart, but when I said this, it was a bit of a curse, and the Kwantung Coalition Army was dumbfounded for a while.

Yuan Shao didn't care, smashed his mouth, sighed as if he was disappointed for Dong Zhuo, and said: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu beheaded the White Snake to kill Chen Cang, exterminate the tyranny of Qin and eliminate the tyrant of Chu, and shocked the world. His old man's demeanor, my Han people are all fascinated, and Yuan is just a fan of my Emperor Gaozu (dun).

It's you Dong Zhongying, Yuan sees that you are indeed the same as the overlord of Western Chu. The same stubbornness, the same suspicion, the same arrogance. ”

Yuan Shao paused, licked his lips, puffed his cheeks like a frog, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he roared and sent the last sentence far away, like a cannonball in front of Mengjin Pass.

"You will be the same today! What can you do but kill yourself! ”

The Xiliang Army was quiet, the drums of the Kwantung Coalition Army suddenly sounded, and 300,000 soldiers shouted in unison, like a thunderbolt, completely submerging the sound of the surging water of the Yellow River, straight into the sky, resounding on both sides of the Yellow River.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, pointed at Yuan Shao and scolded: "Yuan Benchu, you kid who recognizes others as your father, Dong Mou will not take your head today and swear not to quit!" ”

recognized others as fathers, and naturally said that Yuan Shao passed on to Yuan Feng.

Cut, what's wrong with Lao Tzu recognizing a father? Is Lao Tzu proud? Don't quit? It's good not to quit the army, just enough to give Lao Tzu military merits!

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth raised a faint mockery, and he sneered and was about to respond, the Kwantung Coalition Army flew out early, more than seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, and rushed straight to Yuan Shao's side and whispered, then raised his head and shouted at Dong Zhuo, "At the beginning, a dignified seven-foot husband, why should you learn from the Dong thief mountain and wild village woman rap." Dong thief, Cao came to ask you, did Taifu Yuan and Shang Shuling have brought? ”

Dong Zhuo sneered, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of soldiers pushed Yuan Kui and others to the front of the formation, and hundreds of men, women, and children all had their hands behind their backs, and their bodies were firmly bound with ropes. The first two people have yellow muscles and thin silver hair, and the corners of their eyebrows are also haggard, but their complexion and demeanor are still elegant.

Yuan Shao also waved his hand, and Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, four generals and one hundred and ten soldiers also pushed forward.

Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong and the others opposite, and saw that Yuan and Wang had not changed their temperament, so they didn't fight out of their anger, and snorted coldly: "Yuan Benchu, Dong Mouhu imprisoned 50,000 elite soldiers, why are there only 100 soldiers here today?" ”

"Dong Zhongying, you have also been in charge of the army and led the troops to cross Xiliang, it is a pity that you are so ignorant!" Yuan Shao let out a long roar, looked at Dong Zhuo sneeringly and shouted, "It is natural for a soldier to eat imperial grain, and the warriors under your account don't want to eat your Xiliang noodles anymore and eat Kanto japonica rice instead, what can you do?"

Biting Yuan's mouthful? Okay, even if Yuan is merciful and repatriates all of you, do you dare to recall your account again? ”

The truth and falsehood in the words cannot be debated. It is natural for a soldier to eat the emperor's food, and for the lower-level soldiers, it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or not, it is just a change to a generous boss.

Of course, according to Dong Zhuo's suspicious and suspicious character, even if these people return to his account, I am afraid they will not be able to use it again, and even some of them will be quietly slaughtered by Dong Zhuo for the crime of collaborating with the enemy, setting off a bloody storm.

However, these are all nonsense, at the beginning, there were 50,000 Xiliang elite soldiers under the Tiger Prison Pass, except for the 15,000 or 60,000 elites who died in the city, the rest had already been divided among the princes, and now all of them are still in the Tiger Prison Pass under the management of Li, where are there still many soldiers in Dong Zhuo?

Dong Zhuo's complexion changed, and his sleeves flicked, and an angry shout shook both sides of the strait.

"No more nonsense, change people immediately!"
