Chapter 145: Slashing Huaxiong

The battlefield of a hundred battles is shattered in iron clothes, and the south of the city has been encircled. --------Tang Dynasty. Li Bai's "From the Army. Part 2》

It is said that Chen Long resigned to reorganize the troops and successfully escaped from Dong's Luoyang. Chen Long's horse team had the road guide issued by the Taishi Mansion, and successfully left Luoyang and set foot on the official road connecting Wancheng in Nanyang County.

Outside the city, the green trees and green mountains, the beautiful scenery is boundless, the air is fresh, the wild is full of fun, and a pool of clear water emerges from time to time, like a pearl on the green plate, which makes people want to stop and get close. Chen Long took the lead, and the glamorous Diao Chan and her maid Xiaochan hid in the carriage behind them, lifting the curtain from time to time to look at the beautiful scenery along the road. This was followed by a group of special combat personnel who were closely guarded, all in high spirits, and would never fear any enemy.

Chen Long sighed in his heart, his original intention of coming to Luoyang in disguise as Yan Baihu, although he drew the salary from the bottom of the Diao Chan kettle and broke the serial plan that led to the chaos in the world, but there is still a long way to go to eliminate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's Liangzhou and Bingzhou coalition forces, not to mention Dong Zhuo's subordinates, as well as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Lu Bu and other famous generals led by good soldiers. The greater regret is that Cai Yan was unfortunately taken away by Cao Cao, for which Chen Long deeply blamed himself and regretted it.

After learning that Cai Yan was taken away from Cao Cao by the Huns, Chen Long realized that something had not changed with his arrival. Providence is like this, and he can't reach it, so he can only let Zhao Da send someone to carry the gold beads and jade first, hoping to exchange it for Cai Yan as soon as possible. If you can't succeed with money, when Dong Zhuo is given the head, he will not hesitate to take the first army to advance into the Xiongnu battle, vowing to recapture Cai Yan.

The big plan has been decided, Chen Long rerouted Yingchuan to Jiangxia according to the predetermined plan, personally escorted Diao Chan back to Lingling, and also wanted to see how many available soldiers there were in Lingling. The two commanders of the Qinglong Army, Huang Gai was struggling to defend the city in Chang'an, and Zhao Yun was helping Liu Yan fight in Hanzhong, so he could only count on the rest of the Second Army and Xi Zhicai's Third Army and Yang Huai's water army to squeeze out some troops and bring them to Luoyang to sneak in from the tunnel for surprise attacks. It is better to use his own soldiers than to tell Yuan Shu, a careerist, the secret of the authentic truth.

Lu Chang broke up with the lord halfway, still pretended to be Yan Yu, and continued to go south to the Yuan Shu military camp around Wancheng, which easily convinced Yuan Shu that Yan Baihu was pretending to surrender to Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shu sat on the high hall and met with Lu Chang, surrounded by Yuan Yin, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Liang Gang, Le Zhu, Li Feng, Zhu Ling, Chen Lan, Lei Bo and other generals, all of whom were breezy and dignified, staring at Lu Chang one by one.

Lu Chang was not afraid at all, and looked at Yuan Shu proudly: "It is said that the highway general is jealous of evil, and he will do everything to eliminate evil, lead the troops to exterminate the permanent servants, set things right, and make the first contribution, but he was cleverly seized by Dong thieves and stole a high position." And the general Gao Feng Liangjie, who was not granted the position of General Zuo by Dong Zhuo, fled Luoyang to this place. My elder brother Yan Baihu was also angry about General Highway in private, but Wu Junshan was far away and his troops were low, so he wanted to unite with the general to fight against Dong. ”

A few high hats were sent out, Yuan Shu's face looked a little better, and he still looked like he was high, and asked, "It turned out that he wanted to borrow my soldiers." Hmph, there are a lot of anti-Dong people, my brother Yuan Shao is leading the troops in Jizhou, why should I cooperate with you and others? ”

Lu Changdao: "The soldiers of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou are all blocked by the Tiger Pass, as long as Lu Bu leads the troops to defend to the death, he can't be captured urgently, and the distant water can't quench his thirst." In today's situation, Hua Xiong, Gao Shun and others are fighting in Chang'an, if other armies can drag Lu Bu, Xu Rong and others at Hujiao Pass, then the general's troops will become a sharp knife to attack Luoyang, and they can easily reach the hinterland of Luoyang. The most important thing is that my brother has won Dong Zhuo's trust, if a situation is created that Dong Zhuo thinks that my brother is bringing Wu Junbing who helped him, then Luoyang is just around the corner, and this Luoyang is the general's bag. ”

Although these words are reasonable, they are actually full of loopholes, and they do not reveal authentic secrets, so how can they be sure of capturing Luoyang. But Yuan Shu is surrounded by military generals, and there is no good mastermind to say it. Yuan Shu pondered for a long time, a little moved, and asked in a deep voice: "Even so, I am also unstable here, I am afraid that I will disappoint General Baihu." ”

Lu Chang pretended to be mysterious and said: "The contemptible man still has a treasure, and I want to present it to the general to show my brother's sincerity, and please retreat." ”

When Yuan Shu heard that there were treasures, he was greedy again, but he was as timid as a mouse, although he retreated left and right, he still left Yuan Yin by his side. Lu Chang smiled secretly in his heart, took out a white cloth from his sleeve, and handed it to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu frowned and looked at the white cloth, thinking to himself what kind of bullshit baby this is, isn't it a pastime for me? When I opened it, I saw the eight small seals of "Ordered by the Heavens, Longevity and Yongchang", and suddenly jumped up from the throne, and said with trembling hands: "This ...... Is this a jade seal? Where is the jade seal, say it quickly! ”

Lu Chang smiled and looked at Yuan Shu's greedy eyes and said, "The general's good vision is the heirloom jade seal." If the general can lend troops to my brother according to the agreement, not only will Luoyang be yours in the future, but I also promise to hand over this jade seal to the general for safekeeping, how about it? ”

Since Chen Qun, the eldest son of the Chen family in Yingchuan, Guo Jia, the descendant of the Guo family, Xun Chen, the descendant of the Xun family, Zhong Xuan, the descendant of the Zhong family, and some children of small clans participated in the Lingling imperial examination, they have all served in the Qinglong Army, and Yingchuan has become Chen Long's home field. Chen Long didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't stay at the Yingshui Inn of his old acquaintance Chen Yong, but found a small inn to settle in, and recovered his face that night, and met Chen Yu, the old patriarch of the Chen family, in the Chen family's old mansion.

Although Chen Yu is old, he is very wise, and when he saw Chen Long suddenly arrive, it seemed that he had seen his own grandson, and his face was full of joy, and Chen Long really shouted: "Grandpa!" "It feels very close. Seeing a pink-carved jade child beside Chen Yu, he hurriedly took out a jade pendant from his body and asked, "Grandpa, is this Changwen's child?" The child didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, and looked at Chen Yu and called Grandpa, showing the politeness of the children of the big family.

Chen Yu smiled and picked up the child and said, "Tai'er, this is your father's father-in-law, called uncle." Chen Long was overjoyed in his heart, it turned out to be Xiao Chen Tai, who was a famous general in later generations. Tied the jade pendant to Xiao Tai'er and said, "Tai'er, are you willing to follow me to my father's side?" There's also a little bell over there, which is as big as you. "Zhong Hui is the son of Zhong Xuan, and he is also Chen Tai's age, and he is growing up happily in Lingling.

Chen Yu said: "Wait for Tai'er to be older." Chen Long said: "Grandpa, my grandson knows your intentions, if I can quickly occupy Yingchuan, I will naturally be happy, but my grandson's current strength is not enough to develop so rapidly." This is about to become the Central Plains battlefield, and I really don't feel at ease in terms of security. I think Brother Changwen thinks the same way. ”

Chen Yu nodded and said: "Indeed, as Wenlong said, now Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang to establish the Han Emperor, and Wenlong is in Chang'an to establish the Han Young Emperor, which is incompatible." ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "Grandpa can see through." Before the war in Chang'an ended, the warlords of Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou were about to form an alliance and fight a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo's troops at Tiger Pass, and Yuan Shu's troops would probably not stay out of the matter. Therefore, the war has just ignited, who knows whether Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will lead the troops to sweep Yingchuan? ”

Only then did Chen Yu realize that the problem was serious, so he discussed with the current patriarch Chen Ji and other clan elders, and finally decided to let Chen Tai, and a few servant women who took care of him, follow Chen Long back to Lingling to reunite with Chen Qun. Chen Yu was old and left the old mansion not far away, so Chen Long had to give up.

After a day in Yingchuan, Chen Long no longer delayed and quickly went south. On this day, when he arrived at Jiangxia's stronghold, Chen Long listened to the latest information here, but he didn't expect that there was indeed a big incident in Chang'an.

It turned out that Sun Jian's troops, who followed Huangfu Song to resist the rebels, totaled more than 10,000 people. Because Chang'an was attacked by Huaxiong, Lu Zhi wrote a letter to Huangfu Song, who then sent Sun Jian to lead his troops and horses back to support Chang'an. At that time, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led their troops to storm Dongcheng, and encountered the main force defending the city of Xun You and Huang Gai, and could not advance an inch; And the 20,000 people led by Huaxiong and Gao Shun went around to the plain of the southern city of Chang'an to launch an offensive, and Gan Ning and other troops were small, fighting to the death every day, and gradually could not support it, and at this time, Sun Jian's reinforcements finally arrived.

Sun Jian, a native of Fuchun, Wu County, is a descendant of the famous military strategist Sun Wu. Sun Jian is handsome, tall, broad-minded, heroic, ambitious, and indeed a generation of heroes. His fighting style is very brave, often rushing to the front line regardless of his body, although admirable, but he is often seriously injured and is not good at protecting himself, so he later has a reckless comment. It was precisely because of his recklessness that he died at the hands of Huang Zu's generals in the official history.

Hua Xiong and Gao Shun bumped into Sun Jian's troops outside the city, bullied Sun Jian into a small number of people, and still kept attacking the city, Hua Xiong only brought thousands of cavalry, and Sun Jian faced Sun Jian in two formations. Hua Xiong put his hand on the pergola, looked at the general opposite, and saw a person in a white robe and black armor, medium age, broad shoulders and thin waist, dark complexion, strong neck, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Chinese character face, a white horse in his crotch, holding a black and heavy knife in his hand, waving it, it seemed to be full of weight.

Hua Xiong also made a knife, and when he saw that the knife of the general was unusual, he shouted: "The general is famous!" Why? Do you know my Huaxiong's name? Sun Jian sneered and shouted: "Rats, you can taste the power of my Sun Wentai Ancient Ingot Knife!" As he spoke, he waved his sword, and struck his horse like a fly. Hua Xiong believed that his martial arts were strong, and laughed and said: "Sons, don't let go of the arrows, and wait for me to kill this Sun Wentai." The steel knife in his hand was erected, and he fought with Sun Jian in one place.

The two knives are raised at the same time, the horses step on the bells, and they are rolled one after another, and the knives are as light as snow. These two people are very outstanding in martial arts, and after more than 50 battles, the soldiers behind them are all drunk and obsessed, and no one dares to release cold arrows. Hua Xiong became more and more frightened the more he fought, seeing that Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife was as fast as a knife, he was not tired at all, and he also rose up and did everything possible to block it, but the ancient ingot knife was very heavy, and Hua Xiong's blade gradually became notched. Hua Xiong felt that his knife was a little unbearable, and he gradually became timid, and he couldn't wait to immediately fight back to the camp and change his knife to fight again, but Sun Jian was impenetrable with a round of fast knives, and he didn't even have time to turn around and escape. The momentum rose and fell, Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife had the upper hand, and the move was rushing to the point, Hua Xiong struggled to support it, and suddenly the ancient ingot knife struck from bottom to top with a whin, it was actually the blade on the top, the back of the knife on the bottom, the angle was very tricky, and it was about to cut the thigh of Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong's eyes were quick, and he slashed the steel knife hard, intending to use internal force to hit the blade of the ancient ingot knife, and the two blades collided again in the air, and the blade of Huaxiong's knife was broken, and the edge of the ancient ingot knife quickly swept the left eye of Hua Xiong's mount. The horse sucked and jumped up in pain, no matter how superb Hua Xiong's equestrian skills were, because he was frightened just now, the blade was broken, and he was caught off guard, and he was thrown high by the horse, and before he could fall, Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife had already carried an electric arc, slashing from top to bottom, splitting Hua Xiong in half on the spot, blood gushing out, and Hua Xiong's internal organs were all over the ground.
