Han Sui quickly ran into his backyard, and several subordinates followed behind him. He tugged around the courtyard for a while, but only found his subordinates who had been smashed into a bloody blur. Seeing this, the tribe also came over to remove the bricks and rubble, and called out to the people around him to help.

Han Sui pulled it for a while, and finally dug Lu Bu out, but this was not what he wanted. Because Lu Bu was wearing armor and a scarf, although he was also smashed, he was not smashed into meat sauce like others. Instead, he was knocked unconscious.

"Quick, take off his armor!"

Han Sui commanded his troops to take off the armor on Lu Bu's body, and then took away the horizontal knife beside him. I don't know what Lu Bu thinks, after the earthquake, he didn't run out as soon as possible. It's just a step too slow, and it ends up being buried by the collapsed house.

While the tribes were scrambling to clean up, Han Sui was still frantically rummaging through the ruins on the ground.

Damn it! Han Sui secretly hated in his heart, he obviously fell here before, why can't he find it now?

Immediately, fear struck him. That edict of the Son of Heaven is his hole card, as long as he takes it out, it will definitely make waves inside and outside Chang'an. But that edict is also a talisman, if someone else finds out and hands it over, Chen Cheng will not kill his whole family!

Han Sui rummaged through the rubble for a long time, but he couldn't find the deadly thing, and his heart couldn't help but gradually become anxious.

At the end of the street, there was a sound of footsteps like a torrential rain. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then someone shouted the command: "Stand! , turn left! ”

"Smack!" "Bang!"

Several Xiliang officers trotted over with a group of soldiers, and Han Sui's heart suddenly hung in the air. He looked at the soldiers and horses getting closer and closer, and his mind was blank. It's not that he hasn't seen a big battle, and he can't even count the number of killings, but now that he had just lost that deadly thing, he suddenly saw a large army of soldiers and horses, and thought that he had come to capture him. The fear in my heart was born, and it turned into the stunned appearance I am now.

"The first team is guarding the street on this side. The rest of me come with me! ”

Those soldiers did not come to arrest Han Sui, but were sent into the city by Zhao Yun to maintain order after the earthquake. After every catastrophe, someone will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob. So he sent these soldiers and horses to guard the streets and alleys, declared martial law in the whole city, and sent people to organize the people of the city to clean up the ruins of the city.

On that day, after Zhao Yun stayed in the trap camp to guard the palace, he led his troops to inspect various construction sites outside the city, arranged more soldiers and horses, and strengthened the guarding. He had everything in place, and if anyone made trouble, he would catch them. But who would have thought that such a major earthquake would suddenly come?

Although earthquakes occur frequently in Guanzhong, most of them are minor and the damage caused is not significant. This earthquake shook the palace and the house many times, and it can be said that it is not necessarily once in decades. After the earthquake, Zhao Yun couldn't care about dealing with Han Sui's affairs, and immediately blocked the city gate and announced that Chang'an had entered a state of martial law.

Compared with this earthquake, Han Sui's affairs are just trivial.

Zhao Yun entered the city with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was not at all worried about what would happen to these original troops. Although these soldiers once served under Lu Bu, they were all natives of Guanzhong, even if there were some people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, under the harsh military discipline and military law, what kind of waves could they set off?

These are extraordinary times, and the punishments have been raised by one level. Crimes that can be killed or not killed, and which can be sentenced to exile, are all sentenced to death by hanging or beheading. The corpses were hung on both sides of the road, and the bloody heads were picked up by spears.

After killing hundreds of people who took advantage of the opportunity to rape and plunder, the rogue teenagers who fought with open flames were no longer seen on the streets of Chang'an City. All were confined to a small area, and without two guarantors, they were immediately imprisoned. Those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.

Even several local civil and military officials, after violating the ban, were ordered to be executed by Zhao Yun without hesitation. This thunderbolt frightened all those who had bad intentions and were ready to act. Officials and heroes have some private soldiers, but how can they beat tens of thousands of troops?

Those soldiers who had just surrendered were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but in this catastrophe, they completely stood on Zhao Yun's side. It only took half a day for the situation inside and outside Chang'an to be brought under control. Jia Xu sat in Weiyang Palace to deal with disaster relief matters, and Zhao Yun led troops to inspect the Quartet, and he never saw anyone who dared to make waves.

After Han Sui was busy for a while, he finally stopped because of his age and lack of strength. He watched as the people around him and the soldiers who arrived worked together to clean up the surrounding area gradually. When Lu Bu was sent back and the people buried in the courtyard were dug up, Han Sui's heart became even more worried.

He had been watching from the sidelines, and when he saw something like a letter or paper, he hurriedly took it. But when the house was cleaned up, the damn edict was still nowhere to be seen, as if it had never existed. For a long time after that, this incident became a piece of Han Sui's heart, making it difficult for him to sleep and eat, and he grew old rapidly.

When the earthquake struck, the Xiliang army and Dong Zhuojun outside the city of Xia Tai were in a position, preparing to divide the winner and loser. The Xiliang army is gearing up and full of confidence. The gap between them and the enemy has been leveled a lot, and today they are bound to achieve an unprecedented victory.

Dong Zhuojun is also very confident, at least on the surface, they are very confident. Even if you don't have faith, you have to pretend to be full of faith. Originally, there were more than 100,000 registered households in the state, but in the two or three years since Dong Zhuo became the ruler of the state, the number of household registrations has dropped off a cliff, and now it has dropped to about 10,000.

It's not that nine-tenths of the people died, but that only a few people were left who could pay taxes to the government. At least half of them went up to the mountains to become robbers, and the state is full of mountains anyway. As long as you are brave enough to run up the mountain, you will most likely be able to achieve a bleak freedom. The remaining 10,000 households, if they weren't watched by soldiers and horses, would have fled.

Such a small population can't afford to support more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Dong Zhuo's hands, if they can't defeat Guanzhong, starting from Dong Zhuo, to Hu Zhen, Li Meng, Yang Ding, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and these people, they can only drink the northwest wind. The soldiers gather with pay, and if there is no food, they disperse. If there is no food, in a few days, the army of 100,000 will be able to run away.

Moreover, the hungry soldiers are not afraid of anything, and maybe they will take the sacrificial flags of their leaders before they break up on their own. Dong Zhuo is not very afraid of the latter article, he thinks that he has control and influence over the army, and he will not fall to that point.

However, if there is no food to eat, the army under his command will run away, which is something that the ambitious Mr. Dong cannot tolerate.

On the west side of the battlefield, Chen Cheng felt that it was almost there, and was about to order the soldiers to blow the horn, when suddenly, his body trembled. Just as he was amazed, the earth shook violently.

"Oh no, it's an earthquake!"

Chen Cheng immediately understood, and shouted: "Be careful, there is an earthquake!" ”

But even if his voice is ten times louder, what role can it play in the face of such natural and man-made disasters?

The tremor here was even worse than the tremor near Chang'an, and the soldiers who had been lined up in a neat line were shaken to the ground, and all of them became panicked. No matter how elite a soldier is, no matter how brave a soldier is, as long as he has not yet departed from the category of human beings, he is insignificant in the face of this majestic power of nature.

However, if he went to worship God and Buddha because he saw the violent power of nature, he would also be despised by Chen Cheng. He could not completely deny the existence of gods and Buddhas now, but as long as the gods could not show great power in front of him, then he would only regard them as non-existent.

On the edge of the army is Weishui, and at this time, with the earthquake, there are thousands of waves in the river. The earth was tumbling, and the waves suddenly became larger in the rushing river. The waves five or six meters high rushed to the shore, sweeping away a lot of soldiers and horses from both sides of the water.

Although the war horses are well-trained, they have also become violent in the face of this disaster. Many horses galloped wildly, jolting the rider to the ground. Chen Cheng tried his best to calm the manic mount, and looked around intently, where the seemingly mighty army had fallen into chaos.

Many of the troops had collapsed, and only the Tooth Soldiers could barely maintain a little organization, and although they were also in disarray, they did not collapse. The Xiliang army is so unbearable here, and Dong Zhuojun on the opposite side is not much better. Dong Zhuojun's degree of organization is even lower, and he usually relies on strict punishment and strict laws to maintain discipline in the army, but in the face of such natural disasters, the so-called discipline suddenly disappeared.

Many of the cavalry fled on horseback, while the infantry threw away their weapons and armor and ran away.

The earthquake lasted for a short time, and basically destroyed the organization and morale of the Xiliang army and Dong Zhuojun. When the surroundings calmed down, Chen Cheng sighed and aweed the vastness of nature, and tried his best to gather the surrounding soldiers and horses. After working hard for a long time, he was able to gather three or four thousand horsemen, and only less than one-tenth of the soldiers and horses were out of battle.

Now that the formation and morale are completely gone, Chen Cheng has no intention of fighting again, so he is ready to take these soldiers and horses back to the camp. In the earthquake just now, the Weishui waves were so heavy that half of the camp set up at the water's edge was submerged, and now it is necessary to rescue the people and materials inside.

Just after the order was given, the soldiers were returning to the camp, but suddenly a person rushed over on a horse, Chen Cheng fixed his eyes, but it was Han Li, the son of Han Sui. Han Li came to Chen Cheng's side and shouted, "Lord, please postpone the collection of troops!" ”

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, this is the case, do you want to continue to fight if you don't withdraw your troops? I don't know how many people were killed or injured in the earthquake just now, but now they need to be rescued!
