On September 23, the ninth year of the first peace, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate, on the platform of the general in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City, countless flags flutter in the wind, gongs and war drums are symphonic, and the audience is a team of neatly arranged, full of spirited soldiers, swords like forests, guns like seas, embracing mountains and fields; Behind these soldiers, countless vehicles are full of food, ordnance and military supplies, endless, you can't see the end at a glance, this is only a small part of what can be seen, in the three cities of Yecheng, Xiangyang and Jianye, each city has hoarded enough grain and grass for more than 200,000 troops to use for more than two years, Luoyang is even more, and the mountains of grain occupy half of the area of Luoyang City.

In this battle of reunification, Kang Peng can be said to have taken out all his family resources, the strength and staffing of the four major corps of Dong Zhuo's army are completely terrifying, and the minimum Jizhou corps has sent 100,000 troops, led by generals such as Dong Chong, Pang De, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and the staff officer is Tian Feng; The Jingzhou Corps sent 150,000 troops, commanded by generals such as Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren, and the staff officers were Xu Shu and Ma Liang; The Jiangnan Legion is the most prosperous, Lao Cheng is the most powerful among the commanders of Dong Zhuojun's various legions, with Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Li Yan and Huang Gai and other generals who are both civil and military, as well as Pang Tong and Sima Yi as staff officers, and the strength of the army has reached 180,000; As for the Yongzhou Legion led by Kang Peng, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, in addition to the strength of more than 200,000 troops, the commanders Lu Bu and Zhao Yun threw one out casually, which was enough for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to drink a pot, not to mention that the two went out together, in addition, Kang Peng transferred Wu Yi, Wu Ban and Zhang Yi and other generals from Yizhou, plus Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Xu Rong and other Dong Zhuojun generals, forming the most powerful marine army in the land of China.

The war was fought with comprehensive strength, and behind Dong Zhuojun's total army of 630,000 people was a logistics transport team composed of more than 2 million civilians, who were the fulcrum of Dong Zhuojun's powerful logistics. In Kang Peng's words, his capital is thick, this is indeed true, the total population in Dong Zhuojun's jurisdiction exceeds 20 million, even if Kang Peng mobilizes nearly 3 million young people in one go, the remaining population is still enough to maintain normal food and material production and continue to supply the front line. At this point, Cao Caojun and Liu Beijun are worlds apart from Dong Zhuojun even if they work together.

At the lower level of the general's platform, it was full of labor legions composed of new scholars and merchants, who sent a large number of money, food and materials in their private capacity and donated them to the army that was about to go on the expedition, these new scholars and merchants came from all over the country, most of them were the direct beneficiaries of Dong Zhuojun's expansion, Dong Zhuojun's unification battle will be their last opportunity to seize benefits by military means in the land of the Han Dynasty, before the war began, the land and commercial interests of the three states of Qingxuyu have been privately agreed by these people, and they have been carved up. In addition, there are even representatives of the scholar clan from the three prefectures of Qingxu, Xu and Henan, especially the scholar clan from Xuzhou is the most active, because Liu Beijun married the Mi family and shared most of the interests of Xuzhou to the Mi family.

At the beginning of the hour, in the long sound of the horn, Kang Peng, who was dressed in full body, climbed up to the platform with a fat belly, the horn stopped, and the audience was silent, Kang Peng tore open the broken gong and shouted: "Soldiers, today is a special day, from today on, we will go to throw our heads, spill blood, fight for the unification of China, and end the 16-year split situation of the Han Dynasty since the first emperor!" Rejuvenate China! ”

"Unified! Unification! Unification! "Under the leadership of generals at all levels, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers let out a loud and tidy shout, maybe there are soldiers in their hearts, and they don't take the reunification of the country seriously, but they are still extremely excited to think that they can end the life of tying their heads to their trouser belts from now on and reunite with their families to live a peaceful life." Unification! Unification! Unification! The sound of neatness shook the earth, and the heavens seemed to be infected by this strong desire for unity, and the sky that had been clouded since the morning suddenly opened up, and the fiery sun selflessly shone on the earth, and the heavens and the earth were golden.

At two moments, accompanied by Kang Peng's roar, "Go to the battle!" "Dong Zhuojun's various teams marched in turn, advancing in the direction of Luoyang one after another, and in Luoyang, there were already Dong Zhuojun, Xu Rong and Zhang Ji's troops waiting there to meet. On both sides of the road, there are already standing black and oppressive Chang'an people, holding dry food, eggs, straw sandals and thick clothes, helping the old and the young, to see off their relatives, from time to time there are parents holding their children crying and instructing, there are also young women holding the hand of the lover and crying and asking, the wife silently sheds tears to send her husband, the child hugs the father's leg and cries, the scene is touching.

In the face of possible life and death, even if it is the coach Kang Peng, it is inevitable that his children will be in love, this time on the expedition, Kang Peng did not bring a wife to the expedition, not that Kang Peng wants to hunt for beauty - although Kang Peng is somewhat interested in Liu Bei's wife Mrs. Mi, but Kang Peng's wives have children except for Da Qiao and Huang Yueying, and like in the army, Kang Peng's wives are also divided into two factions and fight very fiercely openly and secretly, so Kang Peng simply does not bring anyone, so as not to be scolded for partiality.

"King, you must be careful and safe outside, don't take off your armor casually, and be sure to wear heart guards." Wen Lu, who was usually bold, suddenly became a mother-in-law, and her eyes were red and she asked Kang Peng, while Cai Wenji kept teaching Kang Peng to pay attention to diet and rest, and take care of his body. The other wives are the same as Wen Lu and Cai Wenji, either asking Kang Peng to pay attention to his body, or asking the soldiers to be careful Kang Peng, only Princess Anyang kept crying next to him, Dong Yi grabbed the corner of Kang Peng's clothes, tears rolled down in his beautiful big eyes, but he didn't say a word, contrary to Dong Yi, Kang Peng's most beloved son Dong Peng couldn't help but ask Kang Peng for this and that, and asked his father to bring him gifts, Kang Peng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and didn't say anything.

Not far from Kang Peng, Zhao Yun was also saying goodbye to Ma Yunlu and Fan Juan, because Cai Wenji personally sent Fan to Zhao Yun's home, Ma Yunlu had to admit Fan Juan's identity as Zhao Yun's wife and concubine, but deep down he hated Cai Wenji even more. Cai Wenji's sworn enemy Huang Yueying snickered behind her back, because Huang Yueying later investigated that Fan Juan had lost her fertility because of her abdominal injury, and when Ma Yunlu's child grew up, then Cai Wenji would have a good life.

Lu Bu was the only one who took his concubine Diao Chan to go on the expedition, so he was also the most free and easy person, rushing to the front with Diao Chan, looking back from time to time and shouting, "Go faster, this is our last battle, if you want to make a contribution, this is your last chance to unify the world!" ”

"Unify the world! Unification! Lu Bu's troops let out a neat roar. No one would have thought that the first battle of Dong Zhuojun's unification of the world would take place near Jiangnan on the night of Kang Peng's order to unify the world, and it evolved from a small encounter of less than 100 people into a general battle......

On the afternoon of September 23, when Dong Zhuo's Jiangnan Army was still in a stalemate with Liu Bei's army at the mouth of the Xuxu, Li Yan, the commander of the reserve army of the Jiangnan Army, led 50,000 reserve soldiers to reinforce Weisu in accordance with Lu Su's order, preparing to assist the front-line troops in the counterattack, when the vanguard fleet was about to arrive at Chaohu, the wind and waves on the river suddenly rose, and Dong Zhuo's army fleet was forced to anchor on the south bank to avoid the wind and waves, but unfortunately, a clipper on the north side of the fleet was blown into Chaohu Lake, the garrison of Liu Beijun's naval army, because the sail could not be retracted, There were only 80 Dong Zhuojun sailors on this fast boat, and entering the naval garrison heavily defended by Liu Beijun was tantamount to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, and could be wiped out by Liu Beijun at any time.

"Captain Wang, the sail pole of our ship has been blown off." When the Dong Zhuojun clipper, which had been separated from the large force, docked, the sailors on board quickly checked the damage of the clipper, and one of the sailors reported to the captain who led the small boat: "Nine brothers have fallen overboard, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Bring weapons and dry rations, scuttle the ship, and all go ashore." The captain of this clipper is only a small colonel, named Wang Fan, a native of Jincheng, Yongzhou, is a veteran of Xiliang who has been in the military for more than 12 years, and he could have been discharged from the army the year before last, but because he has a large number of poor people in his family, he needs his military salary to support his family, so he stayed in the army and continued to be a soldier. Fortunately, Wang Fan's luck in the past two years has been good, he has made a lot of achievements in the battle with Liu Beijun, and he has purchased some land in his hometown by relying on the high reward in the army, plus the reward after being discharged from the army, Wang Fan can live a happy life with his family as long as he returns to his hometown, and he doesn't want to be in trouble when Wang Fan and others go to war for the last time.

The time is already three o'clock, relying on the sun hanging in the west to identify the direction, Wang Fan led the remaining seventy soldiers to quietly touch the south along the path, trying to find the way back to the Jiangnan military camp, the crows in the sky are screaming, the path is rugged and difficult, look at the weeds and shrubs growing wildly on the side of the road, this path has not been walked for a long time, Wang Fan is secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Liu Beijun does not know this path - he has not walked this path, which is undoubtedly a good thing for this small army behind the enemy.

Walked seven or eight miles with difficulty, the sky gradually darkened, at this time, Wang Fan and his party suddenly heard the noise of people and horses in front of him, Wang Fan immediately decided, immediately commanded the soldiers to lurk in the figure, just hidden in the woods and shrubs, Wang Fan saw a group of birds in front of him startled, Wang Fan secretly estimated the length of this army according to the area where the birds flew around, and was surprised to find that the length of this team has exceeded ten miles, even if the path is narrow and rugged, there are not many people at a time, the number of people in this team is also more than 5,000.

"Strange?" Wang Fan secretly said in his heart: "How can so many people come to this path? And is it going north? Whose team is it? At this time, Wang Fan had already faintly seen Liu Beijun's banner faintly exposed in front of him, Wang Fan's heart sank, he had secretly guessed Liu Beijun's intentions. Sure enough, after a while, this small army of Dong Zhuojun clearly saw a large number of Liu Beijun soldiers waving knives to cut thorns on the side of the road, digging soil and carrying stones to pave the road, and there was also a flag in the army indicating that this was the team led by Guan Ping, the general of Liu Beijun.

"God forbid, don't let the enemy find any traces of our passage through this road." Wang Fan secretly prayed in his heart that when Dong Zhuojun's small team walked this inaccessible path just now, they had also cut down a lot of shrubs and thorns, and if Liu Beijun found out, it would be a big deal.

Or God really heard Wang Fan's prayer, when Liu Beijun's team was about to walk near Wang Fan's team, the sky was finally dark, relying only on the stars and moon in the sky, it was difficult for Liu Beijun to see the traces of people passing on the road, and Guan Ping also issued an order, ordering the soldiers in front to speed up the opening of the road, because tonight, Liu Beijun's baggage team and part of the army were going to take this hidden path to quietly evacuate Jiangnan and return to Hefei to organize defense to resist Dong Zhuojun's all-out attack. Liu Beijun's forward army, which was in a hurry, made it even more difficult to find the traces left by Dong Zhuojun and Wang Fan's team.

More than half an hour later, Guan Ping's team hurriedly passed through the ambush site of Dong Zhuojun's team, and when Guan Ping's army went away, Wang Fan immediately came out of the ambush with his soldiers, Wang Fan said to dozens of soldiers under his hand: "Brothers, we have inadvertently made a great achievement, the enemy's main force or baggage team will definitely take this path tonight and quietly withdraw to Hefei, we have to report to the general immediately." "Dozens of Dong Zhuojun soldiers are all happy, Dong Zhuojun's military exploits are the most generous, such military merits are rewarded, I am afraid that everyone in this team can wake up from their dreams with laughter.

"Don't be happy just yet." Wang Fan said again: "However, we are still at least forty miles away from the Yangtze River, and there must be a large number of enemies closely monitoring this road, and dozens of us will go back together to report the news, and we will definitely be discovered by the enemy, so I decided that we can only go to a few people to report the news, so that it is not easy to be discovered by the enemy, and the rest of the people will continue to lie in ambush near here with me, and continue to monitor the enemy's movements." ”

"The captain is right." A sober-minded soldier immediately said: "Captain, arrange it, our people will go back and report the news, and those will stay here." ”

"Little Tiger, Dog, Manniu, the three of you go back." Wang Fan quickly arranged for a few soldiers who had a good sense of direction and were good at stealth to go back to report the news, and after thinking about it, he added: "Sanwa, you also go back, your two elder brothers are gone, and your younger brother is weak and sickly, your family depends on you alone, it is too dangerous to stay here." The soldier who called Sanwa agreed tearfully and hurried away with the other three soldiers.

There are two low mountains near Wang Fan's team, the trees on the mountains are dense, the strange rocks are majestic, you can condescendingly monitor and even attack the road under the mountain, it is a good place to ambush, Wang Fan divided the remaining sixty-seven soldiers into two groups, collected some thatch and other things to climb the two low mountains respectively, and collected a large number of stones to pile up at the end of the adjacent road, ready to resist for a moment when found, the mosquitoes in the mountains at night were raging, these Dong Zhuojun soldiers were quickly stared at with a big bag on their faces and bodies, itchy and painful, very hard.

Finally the arrangement was complete, the time was already a child, Dong Zhuojun soldiers ate some dry food on the mountain stream, and then they each entered the ambush site, quietly monitoring the movement on the path, when it was almost ugly, a large number of Liu Beijun convoys appeared in the south, with torches, pushing and pulling Liu Beijun's last grain and grass baggage cart, quickly approaching this side, and Dong Zhuojun's main force has not appeared until now.

"Although this road is hidden, it is relatively narrow, and it is impossible for the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops to pass through this road overnight." Wang Fan quickly analyzed Liu Beijun's intentions in his heart, "The enemy's military food is scarce, this batch of grain must be the enemy's last food on the front line, because I am afraid of being attacked by our army halfway, so take a hidden path to transport it back to the rear, the enemy's real main force must be taken other roads, one is to facilitate evacuation, and the other is to attract the attention of our army's main force, and the enemy will not be many enemies who take this road, but it will not be very few." ”

When Liu Beijun's grain and grass baggage team was about to pass under the low mountain where Dong Zhuojun was ambushed, a Dong Zhuojun soldier quietly asked Wang Fan, "Captain, can we fight?" Wang Fan hesitated in his heart, even if the dozens of people under his command launched a surprise attack, they would not be able to kill many enemies, let alone stop the enemy's baggage team. And the general who knew his situation had already said that as long as this battle was over, before Dong Zhuojun counterattacked Liu Beijun, he would let a veteran like him who had a heavy burden at home retire and go home to reunite with his wife and children......

When Wang Fan hesitated, the grain truck at the front of Liu Beijun's baggage team was already passing through the path under the low mountain, Wang Fan could even hear the shouting, laughing and scolding of Liu Beijun's soldiers at the foot of the mountain, seeing the bulging grain bags in the car, Wang Fan had a thought in his heart, if this convoy was stopped, how much easier would the main force of the war be in the future, and how many comrades-in-arms should be able to sacrifice their lives for this......

"it! Beat! With Wang Fan's roar, rocks fell on the low mountains on both sides like rain, Liu Beijun under the mountain was caught off guard, and was hit by a stone to break his head and bleed, and even more lucky people were hit on the top of his head by hundreds of pounds of big stones, and he died on the spot, the stones that Dong Zhuojun's team worked hard for several hours to carry blocked the narrow path in an instant, and the ignited thorns and thatch accurately fell on the grain cart, and the cold night wind quickly ignited the grain cart, drowning dozens of cars of Liu Beijun's precious grain in the fire.

"There is an ambush on the mountain, kill!" Thousands of Liu Beijun soldiers rushed to the two low mountains respectively, and sixty-nine Dong Zhuojun soldiers roared to meet them, relying on the condescending favorable terrain and dozens of times their own enemies to fight together, shouting and killing and the sound of swords and guns colliding echoed in the night sky, a famous Dong Zhuojun soldier moths rushed to the enemy like a moth to the fire, with knives and guns, with stones, with fists and feet, and even with teeth to fight with the enemy, although Liu Beijun had many troops, he had no choice but to attack on the back, and was shocked by Dong Zhuojun's murderous spirit, and in the panic, he didn't know how many Dong Zhuojun's troops were, was crushed by Dong Zhuojun's team at the foot of the low mountain, and could not advance.

"Send a signal that our army's baggage squad was ambushed by the enemy." Because I don't know the number of Dong Zhuojun's soldiers in the dark night, Liu Beijun's generals Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, who escorted the grain truck, were afraid of accidents, and hurriedly ordered to send out a distress signal, and a Kong Ming lantern invented by Zhuge Liang rose, which was particularly distinct in the night sky, and the main force of Liu Beijun, who evacuated on the main road, was so frightened that Zhang Fei's troops closest to the path first rushed to the path, then the Chinese army led by Liu Bei himself, and finally the Tai Shici troops behind the palace, and the Guan Ping troops who had been at the forefront also turned their heads and killed back, More than 100,000 Liu Beijun flocked to this small army of Dong Zhuojun, which only had sixty-nine people.

"Rush down the hill and set fire to the grain!" Wang Fan saw that Liu Beijun had gathered thousands of troops and rushed to the low mountain, knowing that he could not resist, and Liu Beijun's baggage team had already scattered and fled from the fire, Wang Fan in order to strive for some more achievements, decisively ordered to rush into the enemy's convoy, burn one more car of Liu Beijun's last military rations, and the main force of Dong Zhuojun's army would be easier in the future.

"Kill!" This Dong Zhuojun squad of only sixty-nine people brandished weapons and rushed into Liu Beijun's baggage team, while frantically slashing and killing the enemy, while scrambling for torches to burn grain, overturning the grain trucks that had been ignited, so that these Liu Beijun's last military rations burned more widely and more thoroughly, in the dark, the chaotic Liu Beijun trampled on each other when he fled in a hurry, and everyone in this Dong Zhuojun squad knew the current situation, they kept running and burning food, blocking the enemy with the fire, and not giving Liu Beijun a chance to surround them.

"Don't panic, there are few enemies, surround them." At this time, Mi Zhu had found that there were only a few dozen people in this Dong Zhuojun team, and Mi Zhu, who was thunderous, immediately organized a large number of troops to surround Wang Fan's team, and as the enemy gradually stabilized his position, Wang Fan's team's range of activities was gradually surrounded in a blazing fire, and the red-eyed Liu Beijun soldiers pounced on this team like madmen, wanting to divide the dozens of people who dared to offend Liu Beijun, but the soldiers of Wang Fan's team did not show weakness, and held incomplete knives and guns to start a hand-to-life fight with the enemy, dragging the enemy for a quarter of an hour. can make the fire burn more food for Liu Beijun, and Dong Zhuojun's main force can also increase the catch up time for a quarter of an hour.

"Ahh A soldier of Wang Fan's squad was nailed to the ground with more than a dozen spears, but after he screamed, he hugged a soldier of Liu Beijun next to him and bit him on the leg with his mouth open, until the soldier of Liu Beijun smashed his jaw before he was able to escape. And next to the Dong Zhuojun soldier, a member of Wang Fan's squad whose legs had been cut off was still sitting on the ground and fighting the enemy until he was chopped into pulp by Liu Beijun's knife.

In less than a pillar of incense time, Wang Fan's team has only left Wang Fan and two soldiers, although Wang Fan's intestines have flowed out, but he is still struggling to slash and kill, in the blink of an eye, his last two companions were cut down by dozens of Liu Beijun soldiers, and then were divided by the knife, but Wang Fan did not hesitate to be afraid, suddenly, Wang Fan's steel knife hit a huge force, exhausted his steel knife took off his hand, flew into the air, a spear then pierced his chest, and picked him up in the air.

"Bastard thing! Burned so much grain for my eldest brother! Give me death! This sentence became the last sentence Wang Fan heard in the world, when his corpse fell to the ground, countless knives and guns immediately fell on his corpse, the first knife cut off his head, and then kicked his dead head into the raging fire, rising flames, Wang Fan's eyes widened, staring at the northwest direction, where his wife and children were there......

Wang Fan's squad of the forward army of Li Yingbu of the Jiangnan Army of the Western Liang Army died except for the four soldiers who left the battlefield first.

The moth fought the fire, and despite the flames, the flames were exceptionally beautiful at that moment.
