At the same time when Li Su urged Xu Huang and Dian Wei to enter the army.

Twenty miles to the northeast, in the Yiwu fortress in the north of Yixian County, Dong Zhuo's younger brother and now the actual controller of the Dong clan, General Zuo Dong Min, was looking worriedly into the distance from the tower of Dongcheng.

Dong Min was always worried about the appearance of the enemy situation from the direction of Chang'an, and he was annoyed that his subordinates were not fast enough to pack up their belongings, and he hesitated, not knowing whether to defend or flee.

The news that his brother was killed by Wang Yun's design came the evening before yesterday, but Dong Min didn't know more details at that time, and he didn't know how many generals stood with Wang Yun, so he wasted a night in vain.

After all, the family is big, not everyone has the courage to give up all of them directly, what if it is only Dong Zhuo himself who dies and is just a palace assassination, and the generals are still willing to avenge Dong Zhuo with their lives? Wouldn't it be a big loss to run away?

Yesterday morning, Dong Min found out that Lu Bu and the other men and horses of the Northern Army of the former Beijing Division had all defected to Wang Yun, and there was no news about the attitude of the generals of Xiliang, and it was only at that moment that he began to give priority to the two options of "defending" and "fleeing" to a higher priority than "contacting the generals to counterattack Chang'an".

The distractions of the fog of war are always the enemy of the indecisive. And the rich strategic reserves in Hewuli, which is known as "Jigu is enough for the defenders to eat for 30 years", as well as a huge amount of property, are even more reluctant.

Just when Dong Min was worried, on the horizon outside the east gate, several horsemen rushed at the expense of horsepower, and the speed of galloping was rare. Dong Min squinted his eyes and stared carefully, confirming that it was his son Dong Huang, and he hurriedly ordered to open the city gate.

Dong Huang was sent by his father to Chang'an to inquire about the latest military situation, mainly to see if Chang'an had sent troops to fight them, and said that he would report back as soon as there was news.

After Dong Huang rushed into the city gate, the guards had just dismounted, and the horses were foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground, Dong Huang roared and gasped and informed: "Early yesterday morning, Wang Yun has reappointed Huangfu Song as General Zuo to attack us, and his troops are all the old troops of the Northern Army of the Beijing Division-

Wang Yun probably didn't believe in our Western Liang soldiers, so he only used Huangfu Song's old lineage. Fortunately, there are not many cavalry in the old division of the Northern Army of the Beijing Division, and they may still have half a day's journey here. ”

It is two hundred and fifty miles from Chang'an to Yiwu, which is about the same distance from Baozhong County, the northernmost edge of the Hanzhong Basin, to Yiwu by taking the Baozhong Slope. But who asked Liu Bei to be loyal, they heard that Dong Zhuo was going to usurp the Han Dynasty, so they sent troops on the same day, so it seems that Huangfu Song's army of "waiting for the situation in Chang'an to basically stabilize before transferring troops to go to battle" came a little late.

Moreover, Huangfu Song is also an "internal battle", wherever he goes, he eats, and the local government has to entertain him, so he also does not bring tents and food, and the infantry can walk 250 miles in two days.

In addition, as an aside, after Wang Yun seized power in history, he only restored Huangfu Song, who had been dismissed before, to the general of Zhengxi, and even refused to give it to General Zuo. Obviously, Wang Yun also knew that Huang Fu Song's court was much older than him, and he didn't want a senior boss like Huang Fu Song to re-enter the center and threaten his auxiliary status.

And in this life, because the position of the general of Zhengxi was occupied by Liu Bei, Wang Yun could not be named the general of Huangfu Song Zhengxi, and Huangfu Song was the highest general before the revolution, so Wang Yun had to pinch his nose to restore Huangfu Song to General Zuo.

Anyway, the position of General Zuo will definitely not conflict, and Dong Zhuo made his younger brother Dong Min General Zuo during his tenure. Now let Huangfu Song kill Dong Min, obviously let the new left general kill the old left general and grab the position himself.

Dong Min did confirm the enemy's situation, and directly sat on the ground: "It's really Huangfu Song leading the troops!" You don't need a Xiliang general! There's really no chance of separation. Hurry up, grab the belongings you've already packed and run, and bring some more horses for transfers! I just want to go back to Xiliang incognito and be a rich man. ”

The rest of the belongings that have not been packed and packed, Dong Min doesn't want it, so Dong Huang took a break for half an hour, taking advantage of this time difference to gather all the clansmen, pack the things into the car, and dozens of the most favored concubines who usually play with them, and then opened the west gate of Hewu, and slipped away in the night.

Dong Zhuo "chose 800 young beauties from the people" in Hewu, but the Dong family didn't have time to play it all, so more than 100 people have been toyed with since the construction of Hewu, and most of these more than 100 people are played by Dong Zhuo himself, and his younger brother and nephew dare not touch it.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Dong Min and Dong Huang are afraid that they won't be able to run fast, so of course they won't take the deceased's woman as a burden, so there are only a few dozen people who have only brought them to play by themselves.

In addition, taking advantage of the night to open the city gate and escape, it is also to prevent the entire army from mutiny, the target is too big, the Hewu garrison had 3,000 people in its heyday, Dong Zhuo took most of them with him when he went to Chang'an, and there were nearly 1,000 people. If you want to run quickly, it is impossible to bring a large army, and you can only bring more than 100 personal soldiers with the most confidant and most reliable guards.

It's a pity that Dong Min didn't run far after leaving the city, when he saw the fire coming in front of him, he was slightly startled at first, lest it was the imperial army that would come to kill him. But then I reacted:

"Impossible! Chang'an is in the east! Huangfu Song came from the east, we ran to Xiliang's hometown, how could we bump into Huangfu Song. However, it is impossible for Wang Yun to fly across Yixian County and move troops further west to besiege us, right? Could this be Chen Cang, Dong Yue, and Dong Zhonglang's soldiers and horses? ”

Thinking that it might be Zhonglang's general Dong Yue's troops, Dong Min suddenly felt a little confident.

Not to mention, there are so many Zhonglang generals under Dong Zhuo in history, only Niu Fu and Dong Yue wanted to resist Wang Yun at the beginning, and they were very loyal to Dong Zhuo's remnants.

It's just that in history, Dong Yue was stationed in Mianchi, Hongnong County, and his way back to the west was blocked by Huayin Duan Xuan and Anyi Niu Fu, so Dong Yue had to find a backer to join forces to return to the west, and then he chose Niu Fu to join forces to protect himself.

It's a pity that Niu Fu is a straw bag with no political foresight, he was already a little frightened at that time, and he couldn't guess whether Dong Yue came to him sincerely, and even asked the diviner to tell the fortune and ask Dong Yue if he was cheating.

However, the Zheng man next to Niu Fu had an old grudge against Dong Yue, pretending to be a ghost and saying, "Redeem the lower and the higher, fire is better than gold, and the hexagram of the outside and the inside is also", that is to say, Dong Yue was sent by Wang Yun to disintegrate the internal response of the Niu Auxiliary Army, or that Dong Yue had the idea of annexing Niu Fu's troops. After Niu Fu believed the hexagram, he decisively killed Dong Yue and annexed his subordinates.

All this, now because of Liu Bei's butterfly effect, has led to the abandonment of the protrusion of the pond and the relocation of Dong Yue to defend Chen Cang, which is no longer possible. But Dong Yue's personality and his loyalty, reliability and other attributes of the Dong warlord, Dong Min still knows, so he is convinced that Dong Yue must have sent troops to kill Wang Yun and turn the tables.

Dong Min was overjoyed at the moment, looking at the thousands of troops holding torches and shouting: "The one who came is Dong Zhonglang's subordinates? I am Dong Min, the general of the left, and Dong Zhonglang can accompany me to serve the king and avenge the Taishi! ”

The opposite formation muttered for a while, and then a fierce general stepped forward and roared: "Who is General Zuo?" There can be tokens! I am Captain Fan Chou under Dong Zhonglang's account! There is no seal in the middle of the night, and it is inconvenient to trade it! ”

Dong Min hurriedly took all the tokens of his rune ribbon, grabbed them in his hands, and personally stepped forward to meet the "Fan Chou", wanting to let the other party see clearly by the light of the torch.

Who let the "Fan Chou" hide on the backlit side, and the torch couldn't shine on his face, and Dong Min didn't find a flaw for a while. And the figure of that "Fan Chou" is indeed extremely burly and strong, and Fan Chou, who is known as the first fierce man in Chen Cang's army, is indeed more similar.

It wasn't until the two were only five or six steps apart that Dong Min realized that something was wrong by the backlight of the night: "Huh? I've met Captain Fan, you're not ......"

"Dong Min's thief is dead! Chen Liudianwei is here! Dian Wei threw several halberds in succession, instantly piercing Dong Min like a blood gourd.

Taking advantage of the killing of the leader of the remnants of the anti-thieves, the soldiers of Hanzhong Tuntian, who had already quietly surrounded the two wings, rushed up to cover up and kill frantically, and after a bloody battle, all the guards of the Dong family were killed.

Dong Huang, Dong Bai and others were all killed in the chaos, and it was only after the war that they were tortured from a small number of prisoners before they were identified and identified. Li Su shook the folding fan and ordered that all the corpses of the Dong family with names and surnames should be cut off in order to repay their merits.

This deal is really worth it, and he didn't fight much, and he also got the credit of "assisting the imperial court to counter-rebel army to kill Dong Zhuo's younger brother and nephew", if it is left in the hands of ordinary people, with the heads of these remnants, it is no problem to start from a white person and become a captain.

You must know that in the official history, Lu Buke relied on the merits of Dong Zhuo to seal the county Hou Wenhou. Dong Zhuo's younger brother's head is not too much to give a captain.

And judging from the current situation, because of the butterfly effect, these guys are ready to run away with their belongings, or they are ready to defect to Dong Yue, if Li Su doesn't lead the troops to intercept them, maybe they will really let them run.

After cutting off the head, the soldiers wanted to continue to rob the dozen or so carriages loaded with money in Dong Min's convoy, but they were stopped by Li Su and ordered Dian Wei Xu Huang.

Not to mention, fortunately, Xu Huang is quite strict in governing the army in peacetime, so although the combat quality of these Hanzhong Tuntian soldiers is not strong, the military discipline is still very good.

After all, he is also a person who is said to have "Zhou Yafu's style of governing the army", and it is still possible to stop the robbery.

Li Su also did not treat the soldiers harshly, and announced in public: After entering the dock, he can take jewelry and property worth 10,000 yuan, but he is not allowed to touch these packed stolen goods. He also painted a cake and said that the property left in Hewu must be at least dozens of times more than here, and there is no need to carry so many things on the way.

Then Li Suhuo took out some paper and white silk as seals, pasted those boxes, and then stamped his own Shu County Taishou Great Seal, and asked Xu Huang to send reliable people and three hundred guards to directly escort these property convoys back to the Bao ramp and hand them over to Liu Bei, who was on standby in the rear army.

Xu Huang asked for instructions, and euphemistically hoped that Li Su would promise to let all the officers and soldiers escorted at least be promoted to the next level, Li Su realized this, and immediately ordered the tun commander who was singled out to escort on the spot:

"If the things are sealed and sent back to the general of Zhengxi, you will be promoted to the marquis of Qu, and the rest of the non-commissioned officers will all be promoted to one level, and I promise you that you will also be given 10,000 yuan per soldier and 30,000 yuan to the officers at that time. The war killed 100,000 yuan each. ”

After saying this, he was immediately pacified, and his subordinates obediently obeyed the order.

After all, if you want people to give up an opportunity to make a fortune in Yiwu, they should immediately go back with a large amount of sealed things, and who will do it if they don't give some benefits.

Li Su also took the opportunity to warn others: "Don't have too many illusions, the remaining belongings in the dock, even if we arrive early, may not be ours." This is all Dong Zhuo's search for Si Li and the people of Sanfu people's fat and people's ointment, and naturally it must be returned to the imperial court.

Moreover, according to the captive, Dong Min heard that the imperial army was crusading under the leadership of General Huangfu, so he abandoned Hewu and fled. General Huangfu is the benefactor of General Zhengxi, and we must not conflict with the righteous division of the imperial court for the sake of property! Violators of orders will be engaged in military law! ”

When he said this request, Li Su was actually quite helpless. also blamed him for not looking at history in detail enough, and always thought that it was like in the romance, Lu Bu brought people to rob Diao Chan.

Unexpectedly, it was Huangfu Song who really came as the commander, it was Lu Zhi's old colleague and Liu Bei's benefactor, how could he rob Huangfu Songming. Otherwise, for the sake of a little Dong Zhuo's savings, Liu Bei's reputation for loyalty and righteousness in the world that Liu Bei has been operating for many years will be ruined, but the gains will outweigh the losses.

Resist greed.

Of course, Dong Min brought out these dozens of carts of things, and he took them as soon as he took them, anyway, if he killed the remaining prisoners of Dong's personal soldiers, the people in the court and China would not know the existence of this batch of property, let alone how many of them were. At least this small fortune Li Sufa is justified.

For the rest of the big heads, let's take one step at a time.

The troops continued to walk for a few miles, and finally saw the walls of the city. According to the information asked by the captive, Li Su estimated that the sea of people in the city did not know that Dong Min had fled, and they did not know that Dong Min had been attacked by a surprise, and these people were probably loyal to the Dong family.

Li Su thought about it, and planned to ask Xu Huang and Dian Wei to pretend to be Dong Yue and Fan Chou again according to the inspiration of the encounter just now, and go to the door.

Dian Wei stepped forward with a loud voice: "I am the captain Fan Chou, this is the Zuo Zhonglang general Dong Yue Dong Gong, I waited for the early morning yesterday morning to hear that the Taishi was killed by thieves, and the army was Qin Wang from Chen Cangxing overnight, without carrying military rations, quickly open the city to reward the army!" ”

Dian Wei shouted for a long time, but the city just didn't open, only a few gatekeepers desperately said, "Don't dare to open the door in the middle of the night, and open it again in the morning." ”

No matter how Dian Wei followed Li Su's orders, it was useless to say "what should be the crime of delaying the military plane."

However, the walls of Yiwu are seven zhang high and thick, and it is impossible to attack the city.

It took a while like this, and it was estimated that it was midnight, and Dian Wei and Xu Huang pretended to camp outside the West Gate, at a loss. Suddenly, he heard another movement at the north gate of Yiwu, Xu Huang hurriedly took a few cavalry to check in a roundabout way, and found that hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the north gate, but the speed was relatively slow, and it seemed that the weight was very heavy.

"It's the soldiers in the dock who have escaped with their belongings! Block the door! ”

It turned out that it was the defenders of Yiwu who finally found out that even Dong Min was missing, and he should have fled, so the morale collapsed and he was completely chaotic. Seeing that there was a large army to take over Hewu, he was afraid that he would not be able to reap the benefits after receiving it, so he took advantage of the last crazy guards to steal a handful, and when he saw anything valuable, he packed a bag and ran away.

Li Suxin is dripping blood: these hundreds of soldiers of the Dong Thief Army can escape with a bag of gold and silver per person! It's really a big disaster, and we can't underestimate the self-interested courage of the philistines and small people.

But Li Su's people came over the plank road, and they couldn't catch up with those who fled on horseback, so they could only block them as soon as possible and started a scuffle outside the north gate.

Dong Zhuojun's remnants just wanted to take the money and flee for their lives, so they had no heart to fight. Those who had the hope of breaking through in front rushed to break through, and only those who were blocked fought fought, and the last ones knew that they would definitely not be able to escape, so they wanted to close the gate and defend the city, but they were stabbed in the back by those comrades who "still had a little hope of rushing out", because those who had the hope of escaping did not want to be dragged down by their teammates who were slow to escape.

Dong Zhuo's defenders were so cannibalistic that Xu Huang finally completely attacked Yiwu after a quarter of an hour of bloody fighting. It was already the second half of the night, and the army of Huangfu Song in the east of the city had already arrived in a hurry overnight.
