Chapter 074: Joy and Sorrow
And the state, Jinyang City.
At this time, after several months of operation, Zhang Yan has gained a firm foothold here, in order to echo the yellow scarves of Guangzong and Xia Quyang, but the trickiness of the official army is beyond his imagination, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Fen are like chicken blood, although there are few people, but they are fighting and winning successes, and the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, so Zhang Yancai secretly sent Ye Seventeen to Guangzong, taking advantage of Zhang Jiao's death, and bringing back as much as Guangzong's Yellow Turban elite can bring, nominally it is very good, it seems to inherit Zhang Jiao's will, Merge the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army, and then continue to plot the Yellow Sky World depicted by Zhang Jiao for the majority of the sect.
Sure enough, Ye Seventeen lived up to expectations and brought back 20,000 fresh troops to Zhang Yan, Ye Seventeen naturally would not mention to Zhang Yan the loss of the battle with Gao Yi, only portrayed the battle of Guangzong as extremely tragic, Zhang Yan was overjoyed, Ding Yuan has been frequently trying to regain Jinyang recently, Ye Seventeen, the 20,000 horses, just to enrich the current situation of Jinyang City's lack of manpower, Zhang Yan wrote down a great credit to Ye Seventeen in front of the generals, and since then, the generals of Montenegro have also been convinced by Ye Seventeen.
On the other hand, Ding Yuan, after Zhang Yan took Jinyang City lightly, he could only lead the troops to retreat to the party, and asked the imperial court for reinforcements to restore Jinyang, Zhang Yan was a large number of people, gathered 50,000 horses in Jinyang City, and sent henchmen to guard the various passes, the entire north of Jinyang, Ding Yuan's order was simply difficult to pass, Zhang Yan seemed to have become half of the history of the state thorn, due to the Yellow Turban raging at the moment, Zhang Xiu, the successor of the Hanzhong Wudou Rice Dao, in order to echo the Central Plains Yellow Turban Army, also led troops out of Hanzhong to attack Wudu and Yinping, and was also eyeing Chang'an. At this moment, most of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are in the hands of Huangfu Song, and the rest of the horses have to defend the Beijing division, and there are no soldiers and horses to send at all, so they can only verbally urge the Chang'an guards to defend to the death, so they ignored Ding Yuan's request at all.
"Damn, is it impossible for the imperial court to watch half of the state fall into the hands of the Black Mountain thieves?" Ding Yuan looked at the edict sent by the imperial court, and couldn't help but shoot the case, he led the troops from Shangdang all the way to Jinyang City, Zhang Yan refused to fight, and the grain and grass were about to run out, Ding Yuan hated himself for being alone, this time he worked hard, and only gathered 10,000 horses, and before he had sent most of the men and horses to Yulin, Yunzhong, Wuyuan and other places on the back of Jinyang, but according to the spies, these guards not only did not help Ding Yuan to send troops to fight Jinyang, but also openly wrote a letter with Zhang Yan to take refuge, Ding Yuan learned about this, I almost fainted in anger.
"Father-in-law, what does the Imperial Court do? Over the years, haven't you relied on your own efforts to calm down the internal and external troubles in various parts of the state? In addition to verbal awards, what else has the imperial court done? Lu Bu entered from outside the tent, reported that he had heard about it, walked up to Ding Yuan, and said proudly, very sorry for Ding Yuan.
"There is no way, the black hands of the ten permanent servants are everywhere, and this state is no exception, if there is no eunuch and secret music of Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, even if my old generals have the courage to do such a ridiculous thing!" Ding Yuan sighed, walked down slowly from the handsome case, turned around and looked at the edict of the imperial court, his brows tightly locked into a pimple.
Zhang Yang also walked in from outside, he led the troops to call the battle outside Jinyang City for a long time, and none of the Black Mountain Army came out to fight, but was shot back by Zhang Yan with a burst of random arrows, all of them were disgraced, at this moment there were still a few arrows in the gap in his armor, if it wasn't for the hard armor, I was afraid that he would not come back, as soon as he entered the tent, he saw Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, the father and son, and sighed and was angry, and knew that the help of the imperial court did not come, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What do the ten permanent servants want to do, what is the benefit of this world to them?" I don't understand, or is it that there is more than one person who secretly communicates with the anti-thief, and the other people are all in the same party at all! ”
Ding Yuan scolded him: "Uncle Zhi, don't talk nonsense, beware of being heard by someone with a heart and causing other incidents!" ”
"Father-in-law, the child thinks that Uncle Zhi is right, otherwise how can all this be explained? The ten permanent servants flattered, bullied the king, and the disaster of the party, the children were eager to skin them and drink their blood and eat their flesh when they were young, and now the father-in-law has the ambition to promote the world, but he was constrained by these eunuchs for no reason, and the child felt that Gao Yi killed that Tang Zhou, and killed well, which was a lesson to the ten permanent servants! Lu Bubai fell in front of Ding Yuan, speaking impassionedly and with an angry expression.
Ding Yuan pondered silently: "Speaking of Gao Yi, I suddenly thought that he now also has 10,000 horses, but I can invite him to come, Zhang Yan has been defeated by him twice, if he wins, there will be a miracle trick, but Zhang Yan can be broken!" ”
"It's too late!" Zhang Liao also put on his helmet and armor from outside the tent, and said to Ding Yuan, "The last general has just returned from patrolling with troops, and he got a tip-off that the Emperor Fu Gong has promoted his brother to Wancheng Order, and his brother has gone to Wancheng a few days ago to help Lord Zhu Jun attack Wancheng!" ”
It is no secret that Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw Zhao Yun Gao Yi became brothers with different surnames that day, so in front of Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao also called Gao Yi as his brother, he has been with Ding Yuan for these days, and has been depressed, and can't help but regret that he did not follow Gao Yi's advice that day, and bid farewell to Ding Yuan to go to Guangzong with Gao Yi, otherwise he is already the same as Zhao Yun at this moment, and he is also a captain who can lead thousands of people, not just a squad leader who can only lead a few hundred people.
But thinking about it, Zhang Liao knew that Ding Yuan had the grace to recreate himself, so he also warned himself that unless Ding Yuan died, he would not go to Gao Yi.
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Ding Yuan was shocked: "Sure enough, he is an idle boy, he will go wherever there is a war, it seems that I should have started this idea earlier!" ”
"But don't worry, my lord, although my brother can't come, the emperor will arrive soon, after he pacified the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong and Xiaquyang, he learned that my lord is in trouble here, so he first ordered General Cao Cao to go to Beijing to report the victory, and left General Liyi to guard Yecheng and ordered Wang Fen to temporarily consurate the state affairs, and he took 40,000 horses under his command, and he was already on the way here, calculating the time, it was only three days at most!"
"Great!" Zhang Yang clapped his hands and said, "With the help of the 40,000 horses of the Emperor Fugong, why should we worry that Zhang Yan can't break it?" ”
Ding Yuan listened, but his brows did not stretch: "There is nothing to be happy about, as far as I know, although Yizhen has won several battles, but the imperial court does not send a grain of grain and grass, Yizhen's men and horses, but one-third of them are starving to death, although he now has 40,000 soldiers and horses, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, it is not as powerful as the 4,000 people of the Montenegrin army, but I am afraid that before I get here, 40,000 people will not know how much they will starve to death!" ”
"This must be another ghost made by the Ten Standing Servants!" Lu Bu, who had not spoken, broke off his snort, and hugged his fist at Ding Yuan, "Father-in-law, please send the children to the capital division, the children must be swordsman, see how they are making waves when they reach the underworld!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang and Zhang Liao also pleaded together: "The last general is willing to go with the young general, kill the ten permanent servants, and eliminate evil for the world!" ”
Ding Yuan looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes were a little moist, he couldn't help but think of himself when he was young, how high-spirited he was, now that he is old, he can only serve the old, he trembled and helped them up one by one, full of emotion: "Several of you are young people who will make great achievements in the future, those ten permanent servants have raised countless masters, how can you beat four hands with two fists?" Besides, once there is a change, will you not live up to this great year? ”
Zhang Liao said calmly: "Serving the country in the army, isn't it also a day of licking blood with a knife?" If you pity this life, the last general would have already found a place to live in seclusion, the last general envy his brother with a gun and a horse, riding alone to kill in the army, the ancients have a saying, where the righteousness is, although tens of millions of people, I go to it, how heroic, the end will be willing to serve it, in order to benefit the people of the world! ”
"Well said!" Lu Bu laughed a few times and expressed his deep agreement, "Father-in-law, the child and Wen Yuan join forces, who in the world can stop you?" This time to go to the Beijing Division, do not mention the head of the ten permanent servants, and bring your own head back! ”
Zhang Yang was surprised: "Didn't you say that we would be together?" Why don't you bring me? ”
Lu Bu patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder: "If Uncle Zhi you also go, what should I do here with my father-in-law, your burden is also very heavy!" ”
Zhang Yang looked at Ding Yuan with a sincere expression: "My lord, this-"
"Needless to say, I won't let you go!" Ding Yuan waved his big hand, suddenly smiled, and walked out of the big tent, leaving only the three people in the tent who were stunned.
