Standing on the hill not far from Luoyang City, Lu Zhi looked at the brightly lit Luoyang, and couldn't help sighing, His Majesty still loves his second prince too much, touched the holy decree in his arms, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Youzhou.

A few days later, when the Yanmen Gate closed, Ding Yuan stood on the Yanmen Gate in military uniform, looking at the prairie in the distance, his eyes full of worry.

The Huns live in a bad environment, all of them can fight well, and they will at least scatter, and the Han people on their side are all recruits who have never seen blood, except for thousands of border guards. Child.

Although it is located in the border pass, it is more brave and aggressive than the Central Plains, but compared to the Huns, they are all scum, and the scope of the steppe is too wide, and they don't know where the Hun cavalry will come from.

There is still a Yanmen Pass in Bingzhou, but what about Jizhou, Youzhou, and Sili, Ding Yuan didn't dare to imagine what kind of bloody rain would be on the northern land if the Xiongnu invasion was successful.

"Has the news ever reached Jizhou, Youzhou and Luoyang?" After seeing the prairie, Ding Yuan asked the soldiers around him, "The news of the general has been conveyed, and Jizhou and Youzhou are already making preparations, but Luoyang..."

"What's wrong with Jingshi? Say! Ding Yuan stopped talking after hearing the herald say Luoyang, turned around and stared directly at the soldier and shouted, and a perennial frontier killing temperament suddenly erupted.

The soldier looked at Ding Yuan, who was on the verge of an outburst, trembled, and finally fell to his knees with a pop, "There is news from Luoyang, Your Majesty ......" The soldier gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty said that the general misreported the news, and he just wanted to find a reason to ask for money!" When the soldier had finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground and did not dare to lift it.

The soldier's imaginary anger did not occur, but only a sigh containing vicissitudes.....

In the small village of Yingchuan, a group of people wearing yellow scarves are carrying something.

"Big brother, good news, good news." A man dressed as a Taoist priest ran in and out of the house and said.

In the house, a yellow-robed old man lives in it, holding an unknown decision in his hand. "Good news, big brother!" The Taoist priest said to the old Taoist, "Third brother, panic Zhang Cheng and physique." Lao Dao opened his eyes and said to the Taoist priest with a gleam.

"Big brother, don't worry, no one else sees it, a person in his twenties has to pretend to be an old man in his eighties, I really don't know what you think." The young Taoist said disdainfully, picked up the teapot in front of the table and took a sip, "Cool!" ”

"Nonsense, why did you learn this ruffian portrait from Senior Brother Qin for two days. There is no Taoist spirit at all. Lao Dao glared at him.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, he said lightly: "Don't forget, Senior Brother Qin explained what happened to us after we left." Senior Brother Qin's ideals are even more ambitious than ours, we must live to help him complete it, and even if we pick up the butcher's knife with our own hands and subvert the world of this great man, we must do it, understand? The old Taoist looked at the young Taoist deeply, and his tone was very cold, which made people shudder.

The young Taoist didn't seem to feel it, "Big brother, I understand what you said, now let's talk about some serious things." The Taoist suddenly turned serious, and handed Lao Dao a note in his hand.

"The second brother came with news in Luoyang, the Xiongnu are about to invade the Han Dynasty in the south, and the imperial court is shaking, and the emperor is stupid and doesn't believe that our opportunity has come, and it's time to develop a wave of the general trend."

Lao Dao finished reading the note in his hand, and a red flame ignited as soon as he spread it out, burning the note cleanly, "Is the news reliable?" ”

The young Taoist looked at the burned note and nodded, "The news should be true, Luoyang is already full of storms, and Ding Yuan also gathered the troops of the state to gather in the Yanmen area, it should be that he wants to defend the city and wait for rescue!" ”

Lao Dao took out a map from his robe, looked at the general city, and said: "Ding Yuan has been out of the storm for a long time, it is impossible not to know that once the army is raised to defend Yanmen, he can only protect the land of one continent, does he not even want the emperor, if the Xiongnu have smart people, and the state is in danger." By the way, what is the attitude of Jizhou and Youzhou? ”

"Jizhou does not have a strong general or a strong army, I am afraid that the old routine is based on the city to defend it, Youzhou to have a general surnamed Gongsun single name and a praise word, the white horse Yicong under his command is comparable to the elite of the Huns, but there is news that he and Liu Youzhou have always had a discord...... "The young Taoist said here with a sneering and no words.

Lao Dao looked at the direction of Luoyang from afar, "The number of big men is exhausted, and it is time for my generation to compete for the world." ”

On the grassland, a Hun cavalry marched quickly in the direction of Yanmen Pass, "The whole army speed up, be sure to surround Yanmen within two hours!" A rough voice sounded, and the speed of the Hun cavalry rose again.

Ding Yuan, who was sitting in the city tower of Yanmen Pass, was looking at the map to mobilize materials to guard Yanmen, "How is the mobilization of materials for people?" The young general standing beside Ding Yuan saluted and replied, "General, now we only have the usual garrison materials at Yanmen Pass, and the supplies from other counties will have to wait for a few days." ”

After hearing the young general's answer, Ding Yuan felt inexplicably upset, and ordered. "Pass my military order, let the materials speed up the transportation, the nearest materials must be delivered before nightfall tonight!"

The young general nodded, and was about to convey the order, when Ding Yuan's voice sounded again: "Another order the scout camp to eat a good meal, reward 100 yuan after an hour, distribute it in a radius of more than 100 miles, detect the movements of the Huns, and use the 'suicide summons' after the war to give the deceased a thousand gold, and the living will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the official will be promoted to centurion......"

The young general was shocked after listening to Ding Yuan's words, and still went out of the city tower to give the order.

An hour later, a thousand scouts lined up on horseback waiting for the city gate to open, and the young general looked at the scout in front of him, and his tiger eyes moistened slightly, but he didn't know what to say at this time, and all words were so pale and powerless in the eyes of a thousand lives.

The scouts looked at the little general in front of them and shouted in unison, "The general's hour has come, please order the door to be opened!" "Open the door! Open the door! Open the ......," the young general said to the soldiers guarding the gate with a trembling roar, "Open the gates and let the warriors out." ”

The gates were slowly opened, and the scouts rode out on horseback, galloping towards the depths of the prairie.

Ding Yuan stood at the head of the city, looked at the scouts running towards the grassland, took out the long sword at his waist and pointed at the sky, "Warriors, I thank you for the people of the Han Dynasty, go all the way!" The soldiers on the Yanmen Gate also shouted: "Go all the way!" Go all the way! Go all the way! ”

The waiter didn't look back when he heard the cheers behind him, and ran intently towards the junction of the grassland and the sky...... What Ding Yuan didn't know was that it was this thousand waiters who saved his life half an hour later.
