The summer in the south of the Yangtze River passed quickly, and even the autumn was just a flick of the fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the land of Jizhou had already begun to chant "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring".

However, at this moment, Chen Cang seemed to have skipped the golden autumn directly from the hot summer and fell into the cold winter.

In September of the fifth year of Zhongping, after a year of repair, the Liangzhou rebels were promoted to marshal by Han Sui and Ma Teng, and waved the army again, and the 100,000 army rushed towards Chen Cang like an ant colony.

Winter in Chencang is really coming!

Under the cold soldiers and rain of arrows, the county commander of Chencang ordered his county lieutenants, the subordinates of the men, and the thieves Cao Cao to organize the soldiers, capture the fast and the young people in the city to resist, and at the same time sent people to the court to ask for help, and the letter snowflakes flew into the palace of Emperor Han Ling.

Chen Cang is the gateway to Chang'an, if Chen Cang is defeated, Chang'an will be like a stripped beauty in front of the kingdom's army again. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly became anxious, and after consulting with the important ministers of the court, he once again used the emperor Fu Song, who was idle at home, to serve as the general of the general of the great marshal, and Dong Zhuo was promoted to the deputy marshal, and each led 20,000 troops to help Chen Cang.

Tens of thousands of troops went out of Chang'an, passed through Huaili, wore martial arts, passed through the country, traveled for several days, and had reached Wuzhangyuan approaching Chencang.

Wuzhang Yuan, located in the west of the country, only seventy or eighty miles away from Chencang, the front is wide and the back is narrow, the narrowest place is only five zhang long, so it is named. Wuzhang Yuan is close to Qipan Mountain in the south, Weishui in the north, the east and west sides are the deep ditches that the river impacts out, the terrain is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight.

In the short decades in the romance, this will also be the place where Zhuge Liang made five northern expeditions, six out of Qishan and finally fell into starfall.

And now, the 40,000 troops of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are stationed here.

Huangfu Song stood on the plain, felt the hunting west wind overlooking the plain, only to see the original Xia Tian Mo criss-crossed, the silver ribbon-like inclined water (stone river) flowed out from the Xieyu Pass, and the Weishui converged with the meandering eastward, the three or five miles ahead of the inclined road is to rely on the cliff to chisel the stone abyss to hang in the air, the horizontal wooden pavilion is connected to more than 300 zhang, can not help but sigh:

"Wei Kun Ling positioned, Chuan Ze bowed. Ze has a note, and Sichuan has a pass. The river of the sloping valley, its Ze Nanlong. Reached by all directions, the benefit domain is full. Gaozu was ordered to prosper in Hanzhong. The road is from the meridian, in and out of the Qin ...... the upper part is overhanging, buckling and bumping; The next is to enter the underworld, pouring into the abyss......"

"Sure enough, it's magnificent! Dashuai, this is the "Ode to Yang Jun" written by the Taishou King of Hanzhong during the reign of the first emperor in recognition of Yang Mengwen's achievements in digging the stone gate passage, right? The military Sima on the side stepped forward, looked at the scenery in front of him and asked.

Huangfu Song nodded, pointed to the plank road above the river abyss in the distance, and the plank road rose magnificently in the air, and said: "This ode is indeed written by Wang Sheng, although Wang Sheng is too guarded, this article is extraordinary. In the eyes of Wang Sheng and other literati, this place is majestic and is a place to find chapters and excerpts and sing arias. In the eyes of merchants and farmers, this place runs north and south, and it is also a place for merchants to circulate farmland and irrigate.

However, in the eyes of this commander, this place is more of a battleground for soldiers, and the north and south are transparent, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, King Huiwen of Qin cut down Shu, and opened the road in the mountains to dig holes and build bridges. Sima mistakenly initiated

It was from this that the battle of destroying Shu came to Hanzhong, from the southwest of Chu County, through the Sword Pavilion and into Shu. ”

"Handsome is so freehand! The war is imminent, and he still has the heart to look at the scenery of Wuzhang Plain, Dong really admires! ”

An arrogant and arrogant voice came from behind him, Dong Zhuo led the generals under his command Li, Guo Yan and others, and walked over from behind with a heavy armor, staring at the tiger, "Dashuai, now the kingdom soldiers are surrounding Chencang, Chencang is in danger, we should rush to the rescue, Dong thought about it, but still can't understand why the marshal ordered to go down here, and ask the marshal to give advice!" ”

"Bold!" Jun Sima Huo Ran stepped forward and shouted angrily at Dong Zhuo, "General Dong, as the deputy commander of our army, how dare he talk to the marshal like this?" ”

Dong Zhuo's face stiffened, and he was about to get angry at the army Sima, but when he saw Huangfu Song waving his hand at the army Sima, he smiled disapprovingly: "Zhong Ying's intention, this commander already knows everything." Although the county seat of Chencang is small, the city is quite strong, the city is united, and the kingdom army is not good at attacking the city, so Chencang is anxious. Why should Zhong Ying be in a hurry? ”

Dong Zhuo snorted and sneered: "The imperial court ordered me to wait for the siege of Chen Cang to be relieved, and the general will have to hurry!" The marshal did not move, was he waiting for the kingdom to take the initiative to withdraw its troops? ”

Huangfu Song looked at Dong Zhuo lightly, nodded and smiled: "Zhong Ying really knows my intentions, this marshal is stationed here, just waiting for the kingdom to withdraw!" Wuzhang Yuan is only dozens of miles away from Chencang, but it will be there in half a day.

When our army is stationed here, we can put pressure on the kingdom so that it does not dare to fight with all its strength when it divides its forces to defend it, and we can recharge our energy to wait for work, so why not?

When the kingdom can't be attacked for a long time, the troops will inevitably be exhausted and the morale will be even lower, at that time, we will send troops to attack the rebels' grain routes, join forces with the defenders of Chencang, and attack inside and outside, can the kingdom still be able to slip away? ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo coming angrily, he left angrily. Jun Sima snorted and admonished: "Marshal, Dong Zhuo is a high-flying and domineering person, he is ambitious, and he will inevitably suffer in the future, why doesn't the marshal shake this person with military law?" ”

Huangfu Song looked at Jun Sima and suddenly laughed: "Do you know what Sun Jian, who was then Jun Sima, said to Zhang Wen when this person first arrived in Liangzhou?" You and Sun Wentai are both military horses, and their thoughts are generally the same, it seems that Dong Zhuo's domineering and domineering attitude is already well-known in the army. ”

Seeing that Huangfu Song was a little indifferent to Dong Zhuo's matter, Jun Sima was quite anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What did Sun Wentai say?" ”

Huangfu Song sighed and pointed: "When Zhang Wen first arrived in Chang'an, he invited Dong Zhuo in an edict, but Zhuo did not come for a long time. Sun Jian privately admonished Zhang Wenzhuo for three crimes: first, he was arrogant and arrogant, and repeatedly touched the handsome; the second is to make the thief bigger; Third, they should not be summoned and ignore military law.

He also said: The famous marshals of the ancients served the public with the prestige of the court, and they all started because of killing. For example, Sima Sui Tho beheaded Zhuang Jia, and Wei Jiang killed Yang Gan's servants, and there was no disobedience in the army.

But Zhang Wen did not accept it, and still relied on Dong Zhuo. Because of this, there will be the defeat of Bian Zhang Meiyang at the beginning and the later Dong Zhuo's army. ”

"Dashuai!"

"Needless to say!" Huangfu Song interrupted the military Sima

At the beginning of the conversation, he said, "Deyu also mentioned in his letter to Ben Shuai that this person is ambitious, but Ben Shuai is ordered by His Majesty, how can he arbitrarily kill the general because of a moment of dissatisfaction and speculation?" Since Zhang Wen can be humble and open, how can Song lag behind? This matter needs not be discussed again! ”

Huangfu Song waved his hand and left directly, and General Sima's half-cut words were blocked in his stomach, almost suffocating his belly.

Since then, an army of 40,000 has been stationed in Wuzhangyuan, and in addition to drills and thousands of men and horses raiding the kingdom's grain routes, they will recuperate and sleep until mid-December.

Chencang finally ushered in the first heavy snow of the year, and a thick carpet was laid all over the mountains.

Ha Qi is like condensation, and the sword is like ice.

The kingdom's army is finally unable to bear it, and the kingdom is finally exhausted physically and mentally!

"Withdraw!" Looking at the exhausted army of people and horses, the kingdom shouted angrily. Qiang Hu Erlang and the Hun cavalry shouted in unison and galloped on their horses, cheering to their heart's content.

For more than 80 days, they have not had a good rest, Chen Cang has not been able to attack for a long time, the grain road has been attacked repeatedly, and they have to guard against the sharp sword from Wuzhangyuan hanging above their heads at all times, they have long been exhausted, and their body and mind are haggard.

Now that they could finally rest, they were eager to get their wings back to Longxi to meet their parents, their mothers-in-law, and their children. That's their home, that's where Shiraishi has been blessed!

It's a pity that they didn't expect that when they set foot on the way home, Huangfu Song didn't plan to let them go.

With the bright moon in the sky and the snow on the ground, the 20,000 iron horsemen under his command poured down from Wuzhang Yuan like a torrent, and the distance of dozens of miles flashed under the flying horses' hooves.

"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

All the soldiers held their soldiers high and shouted in unison. Although Dong Zhuo dropped the sentence "Don't chase the poor, don't chase after the public" and sneaked to Chencang with the other half of the people to pick the fruits of victory, although they only had more than 20,000 people, less than one-fifth of Wang's ** team.

However, this is not an empty word, but an oath that has been engraved into the bone marrow of the Han soldiers. They are the most elite North Colonel Iron Cavalry of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers who have been baptized by many battles, and the Iron Army that has been bathed in the demeanor of Huo Hussar and Dou Champion, and honor, iron blood, and loyalty have long been cast into their bone marrow.

20,000 people, that's enough!

The wind cuts the face, and the knife is as cold as snow.

Cold silence! Morihan! Austerity! Death! What are you afraid of?

In addition to soldiers, they also have blood! Bing Ge flew wildly in their hands, and blood burned in their chests. They are going to expel the invading wolves, and they are going to leave the man-eating demons in this snow.

Looking at the clusters of white tents not far away, the war horses under their crotches swelled with strong uneasiness and raised their necks and neighed, Huangfu Song's eyes were as cold as ice, and the sword slashed down with a long roar.

"Kill!"

Thunder rolls, thousands of horses gallop, horses' hooves fly by, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up!
