Zhang Chong and Zhang Bao brothers led a group of generals to drink in the camp, but they all had sad faces, sighed, and drank no taste. At this moment, people's hearts are no longer stable, everyone wants to make a small calculation, and they don't know what kind of trick their generals can ask for from Gaifujun.

Some people want Duan Xuan to go to Beijing to plead guilty, so that he is still a Han official; Some people want Duan Xuan to take refuge in Huangfu Song, so that he can be closer to his hometown; There are also people who want to simply encourage Duan Xuan to occupy Jingzhao, and they have also passed the addiction of the Earth Emperor, but some people are very disdainful of this stupid idea, as long as Huangfu Song returns to the army and fights Jingzhao with the imperial court, he is afraid that Duan Xuan will be killed in minutes.

Suddenly, a herald reported that the direction of Chang'an found that the Han Zheng Army was coming towards the camp. Zhang Pet and Zhang Bao led people to gather in the back camp, and at the same time wondered: Isn't the angel already gone, why did he come back again?

Because the military flags of the Han Zheng Army are red on the top and black on the bottom, with a golden light in the middle, although Zhang Pet and they confronted the Tongguan defenders and camped for a long time, they still couldn't tell who was who. However, the general who led the troops could always tell that it was not the angel who had just passed, but a younger general.

"On the order of the military department of the Han Zheng Army, take over the reorganization of the Huayin garrison, generals, please cooperate."

Zhang Pet, Zhang Bao brothers, and a group of generals were all stunned, the angel had just passed, and he said that he was going to pass the edict to his own general, why did he turn his face and give another order? And also take over and adapt your own troops! His own general handed over the troops to his brother in charge, how could he give them away?

"You are Han Zhengjun, and we are...... Be...... Xiliang Border Army, you can't control us. ”

In a hurry, Zhang Pet didn't know what to say. Say you're Dong Zhuo's troops? That would be tantamount to looking for death. Say you're Ushisuke's army? Ushisuke is already dead. I don't know why, Duan Xuan, who has always been praised as a general by these people, seems to be a little unable to do it at the moment, so Zhang Chong didn't dare to say that he was Duan Xuan's troops, so he had to say that it was the Xiliang Border Army.

Chen Ran asked coldly, "You dare to disobey military orders?" ”

Zhang Pet replied: "Don't dare to be humble!" But we are the Xiliang Border Army, how can we follow the orders of your Han Zheng Army? ”

"Whether it is the Han Zheng Army or the Xiliang Border Army, they are all the army of our Han Dynasty, not anyone's family members and servants! I just say it once, those who disobey military orders will be killed! ”

Usually Chen Ran is a very stable and kind person, but at the moment he is a little aggressive, because he has always been worried about Wang making trouble, and he has no time to talk nonsense with these people. As he spoke, he urged his horse forward, his eyes fixed on the opposite formation, and swept over the faces of the generals one by one.

"Don't brag nonsense here, if you don't obey orders, you don't listen to orders! When the grandfathers were fighting, you were still breastfeeding! Watch Grandpa teach you a lesson! ”

Zhang Bao urged the horse while scolding, and killed Chen Ran, but Zhang Pet wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Chen Ran's eyes were cold, he clamped the horse's belly, greeted Zhang Bao, and when he came closer, he raised his gun and picked up the long knife that Zhang Bao chopped. Immediately the two horses pedaled wrongly, Chen Ran took the iron gun as a stick, did not look at it, took his left hand as the fulcrum, pushed the tail of the gun with his right hand, and swept out a shot backwards.

It's not Zhang Bao's nonsense, his subordinates still have some ability, listen to the sound and distinguish the position, know that the iron gun is coming, don't care about turning back, and raise the knife to cover it. It's a pity that he can't figure it out, Chen Ran is so young, how can he be so strong?

Chen Ran once smashed Zhao Yun and Dian Wei in the fight, and at this moment the timing was accurate, holding the gun in both hands, like paddling, and Zhang Bao only raised the knife with one hand, so he naturally couldn't compete. Although the horse galloped forward and unloaded a lot of strength, Zhang Bao's smashed figure shook a few times on the horse, only to feel that his throat was sweet, and he almost wanted to vomit blood.

After two moves, Zhang Bao knew that he was not the opponent of this young general, and immediately had the heart to retreat. There are many battles, if you stubbornly fight to the death every time, can you live for a long time? Don't look at Zhang Bao's scolding just now, he didn't hesitate to run at this moment, the horse circled, and he wanted to go around in a circle and return to his formation.

It's a pity that Chen Ran won't give him a chance, because Chen Ran can't afford to delay. Turning the horse's head and heading towards Zhang Bao to intercept and kill, everyone only saw a white light, and then Zhang Bao fell off the horse, struggled a few times, and remained silent.

Chen Ran urged the horse, slowly came to the front of the formation, and asked loudly: "You are all soldiers, don't you even know how to obey orders?" ”

When the generals on the other side heard this, they lowered their heads one after another, and Zhang Pet was still a little hesitant, not knowing where to go. Suddenly, another herald hurriedly came to report, saying that Zhang Wenyuan had left Tongguan, surrounded the front camp, and was ordered to take over, and anyone who dared to disobey was killed.

Zhang Pet and Zhang Liao have been looking at each other for a long time, but they know the name of this Tongguan guard. Zhang Pet has figured it out now, Chen Ran on the opposite side hooked his whole army to gather, and fought again, leaving Zhang Liao enough time to get out of the customs and besiege the camp, they had already planned it! However, at this moment, he has been surrounded by people and fallen into the hub, and if he does not obey the military orders of this Han Zheng army today, I am afraid that there is only one way to die.

Don't care if it's worthy of Duan Xuan, whether it's worthy of Zhang Pet or not, being taken over and surrendering are completely two different concepts, Zhang Pet hurriedly led the crowd to dismount and worship on the ground. At this time, Zhang Liao had already led his army from the front camp. Zhang Pet took everyone to the back camp, the front camp didn't even have a person who could be in charge, Zhang Liao brought out two brigades at once, more than Chen Ran's people, and rode directly from the front camp, and killed everyone who wanted to ask more questions halfway, can you not be happy?

Chen Ran and Zhang Liao converged, and they didn't talk politely, and said directly: "I'll leave it to you here, and I'll pick up the division commander." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Okay, don't worry." As soon as I have secured this place, I will send troops to meet you. ”

"Don't!"

If this battle is fought and Zhang Liao needs to respond, it means that Wang Chaohao and Chen Ran must have failed, and it is unpredictable what will happen in the future.

Chen Ran said again: "Your task is to guard Tongguan. Die, you must also die in Tongguan! If the division commander and I can't come back smoothly, you should immediately send someone back to Beijing to report the military situation and ask the principal to decide. ”

Although he is also a brigade commander, Chen Ran is a person who has been a brigade commander, and he is usually strict with himself, and he has more authority to teach people, even if Wang Ran makes trouble, he has to look at Chen Ran's face many times. In addition, Chen Ran is also in charge of supervising the training of the army in peacetime, so Zhang Liao is more convinced that Chen Ran is even more convinced than Wang Wang.

The words that Chen Ran said at this moment, to Zhang Liao's ears, were orders. He immediately saluted and replied, "Yes." Mission completion guaranteed! ”

In the meantime, Chen Ran flicked his horse's head and shouted: "Cavalry brigade, follow me!" "I kept running towards Chang'an. In fact, it is less than one brigade, just two regiments, but under the drive of Chen Ran, the power is by no means inferior to the first brigade or even the first division.

To guard Tongguan is to guard the imperial capital, and to protect His Majesty. Looking at Chen Ran, who was gone, Zhang Liao seemed to suddenly understand why Wang Naohao, Chen Ran, and others were all young, but they were able to lead the army and fight on one side. They think of your majesty in everything, and your majesty has no doubt in them; They thought of their brothers in everything, and their brothers trusted in them. Zhang Liao didn't know that there was a word called "cohesion", but he was very clear about this feeling, he was a little jealous, and a little happy, and secretly thought: "Hmm...... Your Majesty also treated me as a brother and kicked my ass. ”

…………

Chang'an, the first capital city in history to be called "Beijing", is also the first real city in history. Han Gaozu five years in Chang'an County, on the south bank of the Wei River, the north side of the Afang Palace, the Qin Xingle Palace on the basis of the construction of Changle Palace, Gaozu seven years to build Weiyang Palace, the same year the national capital moved here from Liyang, because it is located in Chang'an Township, so the name Chang'an City, take the meaning of "long peace and stability". Although Emperor Guangwu built the capital of Luoyang and renamed Chang'an Xijing, the emperors of previous dynasties often came to Chang'an to worship the temple. In the last years, the Han dynasty was in decline, and it was unable to take care of repairs, and Chang'an had long lost its former prosperity.

A banquet was being held in Gaixun's mansion, and there were only two people participating in the banquet, one host and one guest. Sitting on the main seat is naturally Gai Xun, about fifty years old, with gray hair and an old face in his face. The guest was Duan Zhongming, in his forties, and although his face was slightly weathered, he couldn't hide a majestic aura.

I only heard Duan Xuan ask out loud: "According to the prince of the house, the only way to simmer is to throw himself into the imperial court?" ”

Gai Xun retorted: "This is a mistake, what does it mean to throw yourself to the imperial court?" Duan Zhongming was originally a Zhonglang general of the imperial court, and the army he led was also a border army of the imperial court, how could he say that he was throwing himself in? ”

Duan Xuan sighed and said, "Having said that, but my situation, Fujun is not unaware. Dong Zhuo has been convicted of a national thief, and originally his five lieutenant generals, but three people have died so far, even their subordinates have been slaughtered. Now Yang Ding has joined the service of General Huangfu, and I ......"

Before Duan Xuan finished speaking, someone suddenly walked in from outside and interjected: "Hu Zhen was poked to death by Zhao Laoer, because this guy was screaming to rush into Luoyang, kill Your Majesty, and avenge Dong Zhuo." And Dong Yue was killed by Niu Fu, because Niu Fu wanted to annex his troops and strengthen himself. As for Niu Fu, he was killed by his own henchman Hu Chi'er, because Hu Chi'er not only wanted to kill his life, but also wanted to rely on Niu Fu's head to become an official and become a knight. General Duan, do you say that the three of them died unjustly, or did they die ridiculously? ”

The person who spoke was actually wearing a Han Zhengjun military uniform, which showed that Gai Xun was not credible and had already colluded with this person. Duan Xuan was alert, his head spinning rapidly, but his face was still calm. It's not that he has the wind of a general, but that he has confidence and capital.

When he came to Chang'an this time, Duan Xuan had three thousand elites, and when Dong Zhuo rushed to Luoyang desperately and occupied the capital first, he probably brought so many people. It can be seen from this that Duan Xuan cherishes his old life, and Wang Zhuo and Chen Ran's previous ideas have also failed here, and the most elite soldiers and horses under Duan Xuan are not in Huayin, but in Chang'an City.

Duan Xuan asked coldly, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

Gai Xun hurriedly introduced with a smile: "Zhongming, this is Your Majesty's Xinli Han Army, the commander of the second division...... The king is making trouble! ”
