Chapter 8: The Divine Decree of the Son of Heaven
In the imperial capital of Luoyang, above the court, a fat body sat beside Emperor Xian, with anger in his eyes, and glanced at the courtiers below!
Dong Zhuo stood up, his eyes were gloomy, and his broad palm caressed the hilt of the sword, while the Hanchen on both sides were extremely frightened in their hearts, and they didn't feel that there was more than one sentence, "Our family is ranked in the Xiangguo, but it is sealed by His Majesty, and this group of thieves said that our family is ...... Say that our family is a traitor! ”
"This group of children, in the name of begging for thieves, united to crusade against our family, who are the thieves!" Dong Zhuo roared angrily, and the bamboo slip in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
Emperor Han Xian's heart jumped, and he couldn't help shrinking his body, and the Hanchen immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Please calm your anger!" ”
Dong Zhuo's face was cross-faced, with fierceness and violence in his eyes, and he looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, "You old guys, you are really dishonest!" ”
"Bring it on!" Several Xiliang soldiers carried the box into the court, and Dong Zhuo's face showed a murderous intent, "This is the secret letter of you old things who have fornicated with the traitor Yuan Shaoxiao'er!" ”
Several Hanchen on the ground trembled in their hearts, and cold sweat covered their bodies.
"Kill our family."
"Xiangguo spares his life, Xiangguo spares his life!"
"Ahh
Blood splashed on the court, and the Han Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, was all sad and indignant, and when he gritted his teeth, the emperor in the rear turned even pale.
Dong Zhuo kicked the corpse in front of him, "Take them down and hang them at the gate of the city, so that people can see what happens to the thieves." ”
"Okay, Aiqing, let's all get flat, get up, get up, don't kneel on the ground, it's very cold." Dong Zhuo sat back in his position with a golden knife, "Now that the traitors have reached the Tiger Prison Pass, who of you Aiqing is willing to lead the army to retreat from the enemy?!" ”
Lu Bu walked out of the queue, his appearance was extraordinary, his height was seven feet away, he clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Father-in-law, the son is willing to lead the troops to retreat from the thieves!" ”
"Hahaha, people say that Lu Bu is among people, red rabbits are among horses, and cattle knives are used to kill chickens!" Another person walked out of the crowd, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a leopard's head and ape arms, looking very mighty, "The young general should please sit in the rear this time, the last general Huaxiong please order!" ”
"Okay, you are not my tiger general, as Hua Xiong said, my son Lu Bu is the world's first fierce general, and he uses a knife to kill chickens, so this time he will sit in the rear. Now that Sun Jian'er has 30,000 troops approaching the Tiger Prison Pass, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses, you may retreat from the enemy?! ”
"Within three months, if the last general does not retreat from the enemy, he will be dealt with by military law!"
Tiger Prison Pass is connected with Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, Luoyang in the west, and Kaifeng in the east.
30,000 soldiers and horses, 8,000 fine cavalry, the soldiers were stubborn and stubborn, and the morale was strong, Jiang Wen followed the army behind to escort the baggage, and it took only one day for the army to arrive at the Tiger Pass, far away from the defenders.
An army of 30,000 encamped in front of the Tiger Pass.
Jiang Wen was eating with Tao'er in his camp tent, Lu Meng opened the curtain and walked in, Jiang Wen said with a light smile: "Brother Ziming is not eating in his own tent, what is there to discuss with me?" ”
"It's nothing, but your scholar's cooking is delicious, I'll come over for a meal, is there anything else?"
"Tao'er went to prepare a pair of chopsticks for Brother Ziming."
"Yes."
Lu Meng took the bowl and chopsticks with his palm, and twisted a piece of fat meat as soon as he came up, and in Tao Er's very unhappy eyes, he put it in his mouth and chewed, "Today, Luoyang City came to report that Dong Zhuo's veteran Hua Xiong led 50,000 troops and was already heading towards the Tiger Prison Pass, and I estimate that it will be able to arrive in five days." ”
"But with the prestige of our army, as long as the military funds promised by Yuan Shao arrive, let alone 50,000, our army will be able to eat 100,000 troops!" Lu Meng said with a laugh.
Jiang Wen did not speak, Sun Jianjun would fight with Huaxiong several times in the Tiger Prison Pass, although he won the first few times, but he would suffer a big defeat later, and only 10,000 soldiers and horses were left.
And all this is because of the shortage of food and grass, Yuan Shu will obediently distribute military funds, which is simply delusional.
"Ziming and Changsu don't invite me to dinner?" Sun Ce entered the camp tent with a smile on his face, and the three of them put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up to salute, "Meet the young general." ”
"Okay, let's have dinner together, and we can also take the opportunity to discuss things." Sun Ce glanced at Tao'er and asked Jiang, "Brother Changsu still eats with his subordinates?" ”
"Tao'er is born and dies in the next, and there is no difference between Tao'er in the lower heart."
"That's good," Sun Ce squeezed Lu Meng, "you move over there!" ”
Lu Meng looked at Jiang dryly and asked, this position is so big, where can I go?
Jiang Wen turned a deaf ear and turned his head to the side, Tao Er lowered his head and ate on the side, after all, this table was full of big officials, and he was the only one who was a subordinate, so it was not easy to raise his head at all.
Lu Meng had no choice but to stand aside and eat, and from time to time he rushed in to twist a few pieces of meat.
"Ziming also told Changsu just now that Huaxiong led 50,000 troops, and dared to ask Brother Changsu if he could win this battle." Although Sun Ce served the meal, he didn't move his chopsticks, Jiang Wen and Tao'er naturally stopped, only Lu Meng came from behind the sound of chewing.
Jiang Wen said: "Although Luoyang is not far from the Tiger Prison Pass, it is not close. The other side has been running for several days and is physically and mentally sleepy, General Sun is brave with soldiers, talking about arranging troops, there are few one or two people in the world today who can be the enemy, this first battle our army will win! ”
Sun Ce showed a reassuring smile and ate happily with Jiang Wen.
The Huaxiong army was stationed at the Tiger Pass, and the tents of the 50,000-strong army were continuous, which looked quite shocking.
At night, Jiang Wen was on the city wall, overlooking the camp tent in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little abrupt.
"Childe, let's add some clothes." Tao Er brought a back cloth coat for Jiang Wen to put on, and stood on the city tower with Jiang Wen, "What is the son looking at?" ”
"Didn't see anything." Jiang Wen said with a light smile, his eyes flickering slightly.
Tao Er's eyes were smart, and she showed her teeth slightly, "Childe is thinking about when the world will be peaceful?" ”
Jiang Wen did not speak, and continued to condense the scene in front of him.
Tiger Prison Pass is a dangerous fortress, which can only be forcibly broken, and it is almost impossible to make a detour, so the armies of the two sides confronted each other here.
Sun Jian's battalion, because of Jiang Wen's position as a military attendant and Sun Ce's samurai, was fortunate to stand at the end to participate in the discussion.
"Tell the general, there is a messenger from the Son of Heaven to visit!"
"Oh?" Sun Jian chuckled lightly, and then said with a smile, "Please come in." ”
"Minister Li Su, in the name of the Son of Heaven, come to Taishou Sun Jian to pass the decree, please Taishou Sun Jian to accept the decree!" Jiang Wen stood at the back of the team and peeked at Li Su a few times, looking quite obscene, a bit of a thief.
The surrounding generals all looked at Li Su with serious faces, none of them knelt down, and Sun Jian even sat in a high position.
Li Su did not feel embarrassed, and read: "The emperor made an edict, and Sun Jian was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou and was in charge of the military power of Yangzhou. I heard that Sun Jian's son-in-law is well-known, Dong Xiangguo has a daughter who is already in the prime of her life, she is beautiful, and she is willing to marry General Sun Jian. ”
"Congratulations to General Sun! This Dong Bai is Xiangguo's most beloved granddaughter, not to mention beautiful and moving, talented, it can be seen that Xiangguo attaches great importance to the general, please accept the general's order. ”
