These elites of a hundred battles, in the bright May day, set up their positions one after another against the sun, their armor shining brightly in the daylight, they held their heads high, ready to accept the orders of the commander.

In front of the army was the camp of Zhonglang generals Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, and as Wang Yun and Shi Sun Rui determined that Xiayang was occupied by Dong Bai and others, they transferred their two departments of nearly 10,000 horses, preparing to kill the remnants of the Dong family first, and then enter the Hedong Baibo thieves and the Southern Xiongnu.

Xu Rong and Hu Zhen are both Zhonglang generals, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and they are already middle and high-level generals in the Han court. The two of them have repeatedly made meritorious achievements in the Dong army, and are known as prestige, and Niu Fu, Dong Yue, and Duan Xuan are listed as Zhonglang generals, known as the five tiger generals of the Dong army.

At this time, outside the heavily guarded military tent, ten stout and powerful soldiers were beating the drums of the generals according to the rhythm and force, and the curtain of the military tent had also risen.

"Yaxian county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant...... Meet General Xu and General Hu. "A string of civilian officials entered the Chinese army camp.

In the Han Dynasty, more than 10,000 households in a county were set up as county magistrates, and less than 10,000 households were set up as county magistrates. Yaxian was originally a large county, but as the northern county gradually lost control, the county also gradually declined, and even was abolished for nearly 20 years. Today, more than half of the county's population has been displaced in Shangjun and other places, but most of them have become vassals of scholars, poor families, and powerful people.

"Hahaha! You're welcome, I just want to know the situation of the enemy in Xia Yang next to me. "This wild but impolite general is none other than Hu Zhen. Hu Zhen was not a trick like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and was killed by Cheng Pu Shuhe. Instead, he defected at the critical moment of Li Wei's counterattack on Chang'an and played an important role.

However, at this time, his movements were different from history, leaving the Chang'an and Xinfeng areas, and running north to Yaxian, that is, an area more than 150 kilometers northeast of Chang'an, to exterminate Dong Bai.

The officials of Ya County were hesitant to answer Hu Zhen, and finally the county lieutenant reluctantly replied: "Well, the enemy army is strong, and we have the help of Geng Qing, the former lieutenant of Xiayang County, so we don't know the situation east of the county seat."

Xu Rong, another general in the big tent, looked gloomy. So incompetent, it is no wonder that the enemy has taken up a large area of land in such a short time. The area actually controlled by these officials may only be within the county seat, and outside the county seat is the actual control area of the local nobles and heroes.

Xu Rong said: "So you haven't seen the enemy army? The places east of the county seat near Xiayang have all lost contact? ”

Most of the officials in Yaxian County bowed their heads and were silent, and a few people quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Hu Zhen laughed, "What are you afraid of, just wipe out all our Xiliang army east of Yaxian, and then all of them will be counted on Dong Bai's head, and you will also have a share of the merits and property." ”

Hu Zhen wanted to openly plunder the countryside, but it was also in line with the military discipline style of the Xiliang Army.

Xu Rong also ordered: "Yes, and because the war is the most important, Yaxian County is now all taken over by our army, and this county will be used as our army's food and grass camp, so you can cooperate with us to arrange it." ”

The officials of Yaxian County were only promised, and no one dared to oppose the original Xiliang Army who had been ordered by Wang Yun, in case Wang Yun, Xu Rong, and Hu Zhen were accused of colluding with the remnants of the Dong family, it would be difficult to have a good time.

Xu Rong and Hu Zhen's soldiers and horses immediately took over Yaxian, and all the affairs of the county seat were under the jurisdiction of Xu Rong's lieutenant.

Hu Zhen led 4,000 troops from his headquarters to plunder the township, and all the east of Yaxian County and west of Haoyang suffered military disasters, and all the young and strong people in the countryside were forced to join the army as coolies, and the women became prostitutes, robbing all food and property, and leaving the old and weak to fend for themselves.

Soon, Xia Yang also got the news that although more than half of Xu Rong and Hu Zhen's soldiers and horses were scattered in various townships and plundered the people, they still drove out all the scouts and scouts of Xia Yang's Dong family's army.

As a result, Tong Yuan only knew that Xu Rong and Hu Zhen led the Xiliang army to the Xiayang border, but he didn't know how many soldiers and horses the enemy had and what his combat strength was.

The situation was urgent, so he had to consult Dong Bai first about how to deal with it.

Dong Bai is now temporarily living in the mansion of the original He family, which is of course only relatively luxurious, and it seems sparse and ordinary compared to the Dong family and Hewu in Longxi, where Dong Bai once lived. However, Dong Bai is determined to take revenge and doesn't care much about this.

There are dozens of Dong Jiahu guards in the courtyard, they have long been familiar with Tong Yuan, and they entered directly after the report, and arrived at the hall where the guests were received through the courtyard where the garden was arranged and the middle gate guarded by the guards on the second floor.

The whole building is mainly made of wood, supplemented by masonry. Although it was damaged in the battle to capture Xiayang, it was quickly repaired by concentrating manpower.

Because of Diao Chan, the Dong family does not use maids, maidservants, etc. at all. Tong Yuan is a modern person's thinking, and Dong Bai doesn't like it, of course, he doesn't arrange maids to serve life. Therefore, the number of servants in the courtyard where Dong Bai lives is very small, and only four old women and a few servants are taking care of Dong Bai's life.

A servant brought a stool for Tong Yuan to sit on, which made Tong Yuan very happy, he knelt for a long time when he saw Dong Bai for a long time, and he still remembered it vividly.

The literati, officials, and even generals of the Han Dynasty mostly sat on the collapse in a kneeling position, but Xiliang and the Hu people's lives intersected more, so they began to use Hu stools, Hu beds and other objects.

At this time, Dong Bai had just finished practicing the Meteor Hammer, and she walked directly into the hall wearing armor, picked up another stool and sat down directly. Although she was born relatively noble, she was influenced by the border martial arts atmosphere and Qianghu habits, so she was plain and informal, and only in the face of unfamiliar people would she look serious and restrained.

Dong Bai opened his mouth and asked, "You just said that there is an important military situation, but there is an enemy attack?"

Tong Yuan said: "Yes, this time it is Xu Rong and Hu Zhen's department, they have been stationed in Yaxian. Because the cavalry under Hu Zhen burned and plundered everywhere, our meticulous work and scouts suffered serious casualties, and we did not detect the enemy's strength. ”

Dong Bai said angrily: "These two white-eyed wolves, without their grandfather, they would have become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, and now they dare to come to see me, aren't you afraid that I will hammer them to pieces!"

She was so angry that she almost screamed and cursed, even if she was wearing armor, she couldn't hide the undulations on her chest. After a moment, Dong Bai paused and continued:

"Although these two guys are hateful, they are very powerful, not comparable to Li Su's kind of goods. The scouts didn't detect the number of enemies, but I knew that Xu Rong must have brought the elite cavalry he was proud of. ”

Tong Yuan said: "The situation is urgent, Yuan has arranged for the Xiliang New Army to rush to Haoyang overnight, and ordered Zhang Ji to evacuate the people over there to Xiayang and even beyond. Please prepare as soon as possible, you can cross the river into the east of the river. ”

Dong Bai refused: "Your arrangements are very good, but I won't go to Hedong or take refuge in the Qiang Tribe." I went to the front and avenged my grandfather. ”

Tong Yuan thought to herself, it's bad, she trusts me very much, and she will give up her power if she doesn't understand, but she will never compromise on revenge. Seeing that Dong Bai's tone was resolute, there was a trace of fear and sadness in his eyes.
