The summer night was extremely heavy with fireworks, and under the starry lights, a group of wizards and witches trembled out of the Niu Fu house and turned back to the place where they lived, and then they were relieved...... But they couldn't help complaining that the wizard who burned the turtle shell broke the rules.

"How can you talk like that?" Another older diviner said indignantly. "Although the general believes in us, where is our turn to jump in such a place in the army?"

"That's what it means." A beautiful young witch also crowded in front of her and complained. "Before, we said that he was in danger in this battle, and he was afraid of himself, so let's just say it for him, and this kind of thing can always be over. What 2,000 Shi Liwei was killed this time, he also said it himself first, let's just follow his wishes. But even so, you can't specifically point to killing a 2,000 stone, right? At this point, the witch couldn't help but lower her voice and complain. Do you yourself say that 2,000 stones can be easily killed? Are you going to kill me? ”

"That's it!" Another god stepped forward and gritted his teeth. "Not to mention whether it can be killed, even if it can't be killed, when the time comes, the one surnamed Li will be investigated, and the general will turn around and point at us, one of us will be counted as one, and we will all have to pay for our lives!"

"You know the!" The wizard who burned the tortoise shell couldn't bear it anymore. "You don't want to think about who's going to be the first to be the first to gather the rest of the generals here. I have a lot of drinks with the lieutenant general Zuo on weekdays, and I ask clearly, the surrounding generals, just count Dong Yue's latest ...... Wouldn't it be nice to be able to kill him? ”

Suddenly hearing the name of Dong Yue, all the gods and witches were stunned...... Because they themselves know that if Dong Yue really arrives, a slut like himself will not think of slaughtering the other party, and the other party will sooner or later kill his own people after knowing about the previous things. The two sides have been grudging for a long time, and there is no room for turning around, or these lowly diviners are not qualified to 'turn around' with a Zhonglang general.

In a sense, they are also self-preservation?

"That's it, you're a little anxious." The old diviner was silent for a long time before muttering something again. "But the matter has come to this point, don't complain, Dong Yue will come as soon as he says, don't be stingy with money and favors, walk around everywhere, be sure to get rid of this person!"

Everyone shook their heads and dispersed.

Some people are tired and go to rest; Some people beat their spirits and went to find familiar generals overnight to make them stronger; Even the witches went to find their own refuge in their own accords...... In this case, the wizard who burned the turtle shell calmly held a bag of goods, and took advantage of the chaos caused by the previous Youzhou army to frighten, and went out to a place in the city in a grand manner.

In other words, the city of Shaanxi County has already become a large barracks, stationed in the south of the city is a Qianshi other division of Sima, whose departments are all from the state of the state, and the leader is called Zhang Liao, which is a part of Dong Zhuo's annexation in Luoyang. And this wizard was carrying a package, but he came here to meet Zhang Liao.

"Sima Zhang." As soon as the wizard entered, he simply spoke. "I've done what you want me to do, and let me out of the city......"

"The war is in chaos, you are carrying such a package, you are not afraid of being robbed?" Zhang Liao, who had just been removed from the city, was taking a shower in the courtyard shirtless, revealing his white tendons, and it was still easy to see his own soldiers attracting people here. "Do you want to hide in our army, wait for this period of time to pass, and then let you go back to your hometown?"

"Where do you dare to go back to your hometown?" The wizard couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Zhang Sima Mo forgot, I was originally from Henan, and Niu Fu was ordered to fight in Hedong that day and took me directly from the street, which is why I got acquainted with Sima......"

"yes." Zhang Liao threw down the wooden basin in his hand, and he also sighed with emotion. "That day in Hedong, Niu Fu looked at me left and right, but fortunately I met you in Luoyang, so I can survive until now...... In fact, I also know that you are not telling the truth, and you don't want to hide here just for fear that I will swallow your savings, but I really want to know each other, and you have repeatedly helped me to protect you. ”

The wizard laughed, but said nothing.

"That's it!" Zhang Liao didn't bother to say much when he saw this. "I won't send you, but it's not good to open the city gate at this time, so I'll have someone find a basket to put you down from the wall...... It's going to Nanyang, be careful all the way. ”

"Thank you, Sima." When the wizard heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he bowed as he stepped back with the package. "It's not Nanyang, it's Xiangyang, I heard that Liu Biao, who is known as the Eight Horses, went there to govern that day, and there was no chaos there, maybe he could live in peace."

After saying this, the person had already been busy and withdrew from the courtyard, leaving Zhang Liao alone shirtless and looking at the starlight above his head thoughtfully...... Until a man flashed out of the room behind him.

"Wenyuan, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Although this person was just dressed normally, as soon as he came out, his tone seemed a little condescending.

"Brother." Zhang Liao hurriedly turned around when he heard this. "Although our department is all the children of Yanmen who I personally recruited, but just in case, it is better for you not to come out and show your face easily, and the province will be seen as flawed......"

"Where is the need to be so careful?" Zhang Liao's brother Zhang Pan said with emotion. "I've been in your army for three months, and I can see more or less that Niu Fu is a western cool mallet, just avoid him; And this Li Ru looks powerful, but in fact, he reacts slowly, and secondly, he is too angry...... How could these two be the opponents of Jun Hou. ”

Zhang Liao, who was still shirtless, immediately smiled: "Actually, just because my brother came directly from Taiyuan to look for me three months ago, I feel that Niu Fu is going to be unlucky, because the use has reached such a point that it is really convincing and has nothing to say." Only in the current situation, what if General Wei can stir up the storm in Shaanxi County? The stability of Guanzhong is there, and so is Hongnong's heavy army, tossing here, I am afraid that there is a victory, but it is just a stalemate. ”

Zhang Pan frowned slightly: "This is not something you have to worry about Wen Yuan." ”

Zhang Liao saw that his brother was unhappy, and he didn't dare to say much, but he shook his head, immediately wiped his body, and then put on his clothes and went into the room to rest.

The night was far away, and the Youzhou army went to the city of Shaanxi County overnight to intimidate for a while, and then retreated to Shaanxi, and then camped in the camp of the original Kansai Army, and soon fell asleep quickly because of fatigue and the warm climate in the summer season.

However, as the commander of the first army, Gongsun Xun was still discussing something with the only two high-level officials in the army, and soon, Gao Shun, who had always been dull, took the lead in retiring, leaving only Xi Zhong and Gongsun Xun sitting opposite each other, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Prince, I shouldn't have asked about the military lightly, but in the current situation, my subordinates are not happy to say a word." Xi Zhongmu sent Gao Shun out of the tent, and it took a long time to open his mouth under the flickering candlelight.

"Are you worried that there will be problems with Xu Rong and Zhang Liao, or are you worried that there will suddenly be 20,000 troops behind you to attack our department, or are you worried about the overall situation of Hebei?" Gongsun Xun, who was reading something, raised his head, but it seemed that he had expected it for a long time, and there was not much consternation.

"I ......" Xi Zhong hesitated, but still responded. If you don't hide it, I'm worried. ”

"There's nothing to worry about, it's just a matter of doing your best to obey the fate of heaven so far." Gongsun Xun didn't care.

"That being said, there is a price to be paid for doing the best." Xi Zhong disagreed. "Today, this plain camp has suffered hundreds of casualties ......."

"But you always have to live up to people." Hearing this, Gongsun Xun put down the book in his hand, Huo Ran got up, and then paced in the tent with his hands in his hands. "Take the present, if Xu Rong and Zhang Liao are indifferent, I have no hatred, because I understood this truth many years ago, and in the matter of people's hearts, don't think that you are the most special one. Therefore, once things don't work out, I will simply withdraw my troops, leave Gao Shun in Hedong, and then turn the whole army back to Hebei! It's just a talent, if they don't live up to me, what should I do? ”

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"If they fail me, how can I fail them?" Gongsun Xun continued to speak, as if talking to himself. "If Xu Zhang lives up to me, then he will always fight the current battle, regardless of the victory or defeat at that time, no matter what, Shaanxi County will pull the two of them and their subordinates away, right? You said that today's casualties are a pity, but if Xu and Zhang are against the water, if I don't save them, how many people should die? ”

Xi Zhong pursed his lips and said nothing.

"As for the 20,000 troops assembled after Tongguan." Gongsun Xun continued. "The two of us are indispensable, I actually have some expectations for Jia Wenhe in my heart, he is a really smart person, I always feel that he has a way to help me see the soldiers and horses behind Lu Bu and Tongguan......"

"But what if?" Xi Zhong couldn't help but shake his head again. "What if Jia Wen and the letter can't be found? What if he can't stop the 20,000 soldiers behind him? ”

"That's no problem." Gongsun Xun stopped and said. "That's it...... Escaped back and went back to Hebei to deal with Yuan Shao, and I didn't say that he would be hanged on a tree. ”

"I also know that the prince has arrangements in Hebei, and I am not worried that Yuan Benchu can suddenly break us." Xi Zhong continued to sigh. "In fact, if my expectations are correct, if the prince is not defeated for a day, or if the prince does not enter the customs for a day, I am afraid that he may not dare to start a war with a sword and a gun, but just dig up the territory around...... But I still say that Hongnong can still be done, but when it comes to the overall situation, I may not be able to count on Hongnong, nor can I count on Jia Wenhe. ”

"You're not confused." Gongsun Xun suddenly laughed. "It's as if I'm only focusing on Jia Wenhe, if that's the case, based on what I know about him, he'll be disappointed in me, right?"

Xi Zhicai also reacted suddenly, and immediately said nothing.

At Tongguan, in the sound of the Yellow River and the sound of insects in the valley, Jia Wenhe, who was valued by Gongsun Xun but did not really rely on it, was also looking at the gloomy night and sighing, because he had just learned a major news - Dong Min, the commander of the 15,000 troops gathered in Huayin behind him, suddenly returned to Chang'an with only a few thousand cavalry in the starry night, which saved him a lot of thoughts, but also made him a little distracted.

In other words, Dong Min's return to Chang'an was not anyone's strategy, nor was he disregarding the overall situation, on the contrary, he went back because there was a change behind him and had to go back - someone in Chang'an tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and someone needed to lead the troops back to stabilize the situation at this time.

"It's really a mess." Just when Jia Xu was standing on the gate tower of Tongguan City and looking at the night sky, I don't know when, Lu Bu, the lord of Tongguan, was dressed in complete armor, and suddenly appeared here, and then walked to Jia Wenhe's side proudly. "Jia Jun, why do you say that his generation suddenly wants to assassinate Xiangguo?"

"It's not Xiangguo, it's Taishi." Jia Xu's face remained unchanged. "The will to worship the Taishi has been issued, and Xiangguo has also received it, it is said that these people are ready to take advantage of Xiangguo's worship of the Taishi, but after some of the people who were gathered left, they went straight to denounce it, and it was discovered...... As for why, isn't it General Wei who is wandering outside the pass? ”

"Don't mention this," Lu Bu walked closer, suddenly a little cautious. "Jia Jun, you are from Liangzhou, you are familiar with people in Chang'an, do you know what to say this time? How did I hear that it has a relationship with Xun Sikong? ”

"Yes." Jia Xu didn't hide it. "That's what those people in the Xun clan do...... What they mean is that while the army is outside, suddenly kill the Taishi, the front will be chaotic, and when the imperial court orders us and Zhang Ji to defect together to meet General Wei, if we don't have Dong Taishi behind, there is no other way than to fall to General Wei and the court. ”

"It's vicious!" Lu Bu shook his head again and again. "How hearty is Xun Sikong on weekdays? And the Taishi has repeatedly promoted him, making him change from a white cloth for a few months to a commonplace, why doesn't he know gratitude? What a traitor! ”

"Wen Hou, don't scold." Jia Xu sighed again. "As far as I know, Xun Sikong committed suicide immediately after hearing about the defeat...... He is an old man who Taishi met in Yingchuan when he was a teenager, and this time he will offset his life, and Taishi may remember the old love to hide this matter, and the rest of the participants may be able to save their lives. ”

Lu Bu suddenly bowed his head, but he also held the saber and looked at the night sky in the east with Jia Xu.

"If Wen Hou has something to say, he might as well speak up." Jia Wenhe only glanced at each other, and he roughly saw something. "You don't have to waste time here with me as an old man."

"I'm thinking." Lu Bu also laughed when he heard this. "It's a pity this time, if there is no such thing behind him, General Zuo (Dong Min) leads the crowd out of the customs and goes straight to Hu County, then General Wei has no other way out except to cross the river in a hurry, right?"

"What ifs if there is anything in the world?" Jia Xu was expressionless and said with emotion. "Everything comes from accidents, and everything has a cause and effect, and when things come out, they come out...... is still the same sentence, Wen Hou might as well say it directly. ”

"I mean." Lu Bu finally tried to see the dagger. "Since Huayin has its own heavy troops behind us, then we don't need to think about guarding the pass, you and I might as well cut it first and then play it, and then pour out of the pass tomorrow, only lead 5,000 troops to the east, and accomplish this great achievement alone!"

Jia Xu finally turned his head and looked at Lu Bu with a straight face, but he didn't speak for a while.

"Am I not right?" Lu Bu's hair was watched, and he became more and more anxious. "Jia Jun, you are an elder and a wise man, since the battle of Xiaopingjin that day, I have always respected you very much, if there is anything wrong, you must teach me!"

"One," Jia Xu turned around, still looking at the night sky in the east and sighed. "General Wei's soldiers and horses are extraordinary, you only have 5,000 soldiers, and you may not be able to rush through Hu County to achieve great success; Second, Xun Sikong's matter is not so simple and will end...... You are originally from Bingzhou, not the old department of Xiangguo Guanxi, and sending troops without authorization will inevitably make Xiangguo and General Zuo suspect that you are difficult to control, and once you fail, you will be even more suspicious of your intentions. ”

Lu Bu was shocked and hurriedly surrendered: "Thank you Jia Jun for reminding me, otherwise I almost made a big mistake." ”

"Wen Hou doesn't have to be polite, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." Jia Wenhe was unimpressed. "Take off your armor and go back to rest, I still have to see the astrological ......"

Lu Bu said goodbye with relief.

However, after walking only a few steps, Lu Fengxian suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Is Jia Jun looking at the stars?" ”

"Nature."

"I heard that the big names are all on the astrological signs, so can you clearly see the general trend of the world and the fortunes of Taishi and General Wei from the astrological signs?"

"I've heard this for a long time, but I don't have the ability to do it myself, it's just that it's hot in the summer, and the city is cool, just take a look."

"I see." Lu Bu shook his head in disappointment. "Actually, I don't have any other intentions, I'm just curious, if you talk about luck, this time Xun Sikong failed to assassinate Taishi, is it beneficial to Taishi, or is it beneficial to General Wei?"

The man went downstairs as he spoke, and by the end, the voice had already come from downstairs...... But Jia Xu, who was alone, lost his mind for a while, and rarely showed a confused expression in the sound of insects and the sound of the Yellow River.

The situation is deadlocked, the entire Hongnong is in a mess, and everyone is in the situation, so they naturally have different ideas. But only time and the Yellow River are two things, all the way to the east, and it is difficult to stop for a moment.

On the second day, the weather in late April suddenly became hot and dry, and under such circumstances, Niu Fu officially sent a call to Dong Yue, Li Meng of Xin'an, and Hu Zhen of Hangu Guan behind him in the name of the general who held the festival in the east, asking the three generals to leave only a few garrison men and horses, and then the whole army converged in Shaanxi County, which meant to move closer to him.

There was no problem with the military order, and the three generals replied to the order after receiving the news from the fast horse, and then they all set up their troops and horses and came to Shaanxi County. And the first of them to arrive was Dong Yuebu of Michi...... After all, Yilai Mianchi is the closest to Shaanxi County; Second, although Dong Yue is short-tempered, he was just promoted not long ago, and he still takes military orders very seriously, unlike other generals, who have been leading the troops independently for a long time, and have become the leader of the soldiers.

Therefore, after receiving the military order during the day, he did not hesitate to withdraw the camp immediately, and reached the city at night.

However, although this Dong Zhonglang general is the same, he is used to it after all, otherwise he would not have whipped those wizards and witches that Niu Fu valued at every turn, so since he came to the city, he immediately shouted and scolded, asking to open the door and enter!

The soldiers on the city wall did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to report to Niu Fu, who held the power in the city.

And since Niu Zhonglang was shocked, he was not angry, but instead took away the concubine, and sat on the couch and convened his wizard think tank again to measure the good luck.

The wizards and witches looked panicked, but in the end they came to a very consistent conclusion - the one who came was the murderer!

"Why is it just a murderer?" Niu Fu frowned slightly. "Didn't the one who burned the turtle shell yesterday directly say that he was going to kill the first two thousand stones to enter the city? Where are the others? ”

"Return to the General." An older diviner knelt on the ground and said. "It may be that the secret of heaven cannot be easily revealed, then after Wang Zhong of Luoyang calculated that incident for the general last night, he had a high fever for a whole day, as if he had been punished by God."

Niu Fu suddenly realized, but waved his hand to reject, and after these people fled here in a hurry, the Zhonglang general who held the festival was neatly clothed, and called the leader of the guard, Hu Chi'er, to explain a few words, and then directly picked up the generals in the army, and went to the east gate.

Half an hour later, the east gate of Shaanxi County was opened, Dong Yue and others worked hard, saw the door opened, and dismounted directly, and then scolded and stepped forward into the city gate hole, and did not forget to whip the sergeant to open the door under the firelight.

However, this Zhonglang pulled out a whip, and with Niu Fu's order, Hu Chi'er, the leader of his personal guards, led dozens of soldiers to rush up and knock him down in the city gate cave.

Dong Yue was shocked in his heart, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Hu Chi'er not only got the order of Niu Fujun, but also received all kinds of bribes from those gods and witches, so the latter almost immediately drew his knife and beheaded the two thousand stone Zhonglang who was pressed to the ground!

Seeing this person die, Niu Fu felt a lot more relaxed almost instantly, as if he really had nothing to do with calamity; And Dong Yue, who was hacked and killed, was confused until he died, and he didn't know why he was killed...... As for the stunned sergeants around, they were a little frightened and speechless.

However, the reaction of these sergeants fell into the eyes of General Niu Zhonglang, which made him even more satisfied, so he was complacent, and while ordering his subordinate officers to gather Dong Yue's subordinates outside the city, he went back to the city to rest.

And waited until a quarter of an hour later, Li Rufang got the news, and came to the city gate in a panic, but only saw a corpse and a mess outside the city, and then his heart was as cold as water in an instant...... He had the heart to reprimand Niu Fu, telling the other party that this kind of prestige would only be counterproductive, but he didn't dare to go.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Wenyou could only return to the house and write a letter of complaint to his father-in-law!

Of course, no matter how angry Li Wenyou is, his talents are there, and the basic judgment is still correct, Dong Yuebu saw that the master was about to be killed, and most of the people were successfully absorbed, while a small number of people immediately turned back and fled back to Mianchi in a panic, and spread the news.

Therefore, on the second day, Li Meng led his troops to Mianchi, but after hearing the news, he stopped there, and had no intention of going to Shaanxi County; On the morning of the third day, Hu Zhen arrived in Xin'an, but he also stopped...... This is of course the right choice, who would dare to go to Shaanxi County at this time? Hold the soldiers and horses in your hands and wait for Dong Taishi's disposal!

However, just when these two two 2,000 stones were hesitating, another afternoon, specifically the evening of April 24, a Zhonglang general led 5,000 people from his headquarters to appear in the road fifteen miles south of Shaanxi County.

It was Xu Rong and Xu Bojin.

It is said that Xu Rong ordered the whole army to go south that day, in fact, he went southwest along Luoshui, but he could not walk more than a few dozen miles to the left of Luoning County, which was in Jinmen, that is, Luoning County in later generations...... In other words, he was going to Shaanxi County from the beginning, and the reason why he went around in a big circle was nothing more than to avoid Dong Yue in Mianchi, and the narrow road of Kunshan that was held in Dong Yue's hands.

In front of Shaanxi County, Xu Bojin ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, eat and draw water, drink horses and reorganize the army, but after a short rest, I don't know if I remembered Dong Zhuo's love for him again, this Zhonglang general actually hesitated again.

But at this moment, a few miles away in the mountains behind him, there was a sudden fire, it was summer, the valley was luxuriant, and the fire burned the mountain in an instant, unstoppable...... It turned out that Xu Xing, the younger brother of Xu Rong, saw that his brother had committed another politically naïve old problem, so he took the initiative to make this decision and forced his brother to march quickly!

In the twilight, Xu Rong looked at the fire behind him that was burning bigger and closer, and looked at the clan brother who was urging the army with a knife, he could only sigh and ordered the whole army to send to Shaanxi County quickly!

Since the fire broke out, the light in the twilight was more than twenty miles, Zhang Liao of Shaanxi County immediately led the crowd to the city wall, and Gongsun Xun in the Shaanxi Mo camp did not hesitate, immediately beat the drum to gather the generals, and ordered the whole army to go out!
