【016】Masked foot soldiers
Since the publication of the picture book of "[Xianmen] Sons" and swept the world, Dong Zhuo's name has been spread in Youhe Erzhou. and his position as the Taishou of the county gradually became well-known to the Northlanders.
However, what really made Dong Zhuo famous and Wei Jia was merged was what he did after he took office.
On September 12, Dong Zhuo entered the [Daijun] administration of Gaoliu City. It coincided with the Xianbei offense in western Liaoning, plundering people and stealing violent property.
At this time, Xianbei, although the sandalwood locust is dead, the residual power still exists. His grandson Qianman was young, so he had a leader to act as the government. Although it is difficult to convince the public, he manages to maintain the situation of the Xianbei alliance of the eastern, central and western departments.
Because of this, even if the Xianbei who committed the border this time was only a certain branch of the western Xianbei, there were less than 2,000 cavalry. However, the Han army continued to build deep ditches and high walls as usual, closed doors and closed doors, and did not fight.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was furious. Ignoring the dissuasion of the county governor, he directly led Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Dao and other generals, led more than 100 personal soldiers, and resolutely went out of the city.
Changshi was frightened, and hurriedly summoned the guards in the city, preparing to go out of the city to rescue the new Taishou who had just arrived and acted recklessly. However, before the soldiers in the city were fully armed, an earth-shattering roar came from outside the city.
The long history and captain of the city were busy looking around. I saw that Dong Taishou's eyes were wide open, his beard was open, like an angry lion, and he roared suddenly!
There are more than 24,000 soldiers and civilians in [Gaoyanagi County], and they are now scattered all over the city, either helping to defend the city or retreating to their homes.
The roar was accompanied by a shock, and all the people were shocked.
Its voice is loud and clear, miles apart, and still clearly recognizable. and poignant, tyrannical, and not human-like. When ordinary people heard this, they were all terrified.
It was miles away, not to mention the Xianbei Rider facing it.
In an instant, the two thousand Xianbei people all felt that a fierce giant beast leaped forward, and then the bloody mouth opened widely, and the face roared.
It seems that there is a fishy wind blowing in the face, and the evil salivation is on the head!
Phew! Phew! Phew!
With the mournful roar of the war horses, two or three hundred frightened Xianbei horsemen hurriedly reined in their horses and fled.
The Xianbei army was in chaos all of a sudden, and some of them panicked and bumped into others headlong and fell off their horses. Before he could get up, he was trampled on by a frightened warhorse, shattering his ribs, breaking his neck, and losing his breath.
The Xianbei leader was shocked and angry, shouted loudly, and shot several escapees one after another before he could hold back the decline.
The leader was about to gather the remainder, but suddenly heard the guards exclaim, "Be careful, adults". He followed the prestige, and the fat leader of the Han army on the other side, who was "more vocal than the fierce beast", had already led the crowd to attack.
The Xianbei army formation, which had not yet been reorganized, was like a papier-mâché clay sculpture in front of the 100 horsemen of the Han army. After only two charges, he had penetrated the entire army and killed the Xianbei leader dozens of feet away.
Exclaimed left and right, but the battle-hardened Xianbei leader was not chaotic at all.
The Han people are fierce, and after all, they are only a hundred horsemen. Although Xianbei is chaotic, there are still thousands of five.
The gap of more than ten times is enough to smooth out the impact of morale.
"Although the lone tiger is strong, it is difficult to defeat the wolves. Ladies and gentlemen, "the leader drew his sword in his hand, and was about to motivate the soldiers with words to regain his strength and surround and kill the enemy, but he saw the fat man of the Han army inexplicably swinging a knife into the open space.
Then, three ice wheels suddenly appeared, spinning rapidly.
Magic? Magic?
Although the leader of Xianbei didn't know why, he didn't dare to slack off and dodged. But it was too late, and the ice wheel that was spinning at great speed passed through the body.
Then, the sky was full of freezing air, and he was born on the path of the ice wheel. An indescribable coldness poured in. In the exclamation of the guards, the leader of Xianbei was frozen in white freezing air.
The next moment, the Han cavalry rushed over and beheaded him with a knife.
Then there was a rout, and the horses were scattered like birds and beasts. Dong Taishou took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and beheaded countless people. When returning to the city, the Gaoliu people cheered and praised "the children of the fairy sect, there is no vanity under the fame".
At the night washing banquet, hundreds of officials competed to toast, and the atmosphere was joyful.
Only the county magistrate Shi was a little worried, and said: "Now that winter is approaching, the Xianbei people are short of food, and they will inevitably go south to plunder the millet." Although the king won the first battle, he also threw the Xianbei people a reason to raise troops, and they must not be taken lightly. ”
Dong Zhuo drank all the wine in the cup, laughed and said, "Don't worry about Changshi, come, have a drink with Zhuo!" ”
On the second day, Li Ru was promoted to the county and ordered to stay in [Gao Yanagi] to deal with the government affairs of the county. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, ignored the persuasion of Captain Changshi and others, crossed the Sanggan River to the north and set out to conquer Beiyi. This time, in addition to Huaxiong's generals and more than 100 cavalrymen, there were also more than 50 foot soldiers wearing armor and helmets with their faces covered.
Mrs. Dong stayed here and returned in seven days. However, when he returned, it caused a sensation in Gaoliu, Shenhe, Pingyi and other counties.
Whether it is Dong Zhuo, Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Dao and other generals, or more than 100 cavalry pawns and hundreds of "masked" foot soldiers, each person has five or six heads hanging on his horse and body.
There were bold people, who looked at them one by one, and found that they were all young and strong with yellow beards and yellow heads. So the people of the county cheered in unison, and they all said: "Dong Taishou is mighty!" ”
and returned to Gaoliu City, and the long history and the school captain all bowed.
Dong Zhuo rested in the city for five days, and then ordered more than 30 cavalry soldiers to stay in the city and set out again.
And after ten days, he beheaded six hundred. Behind him, there were more than 200 "masked" foot soldiers.
This time he returned to the city, Dong Tai kept Li Ruli [Yan Dawang Temple], and at the same time immediately revitalized the discipline, but those who harmed the people and those who communicated with foreign clans were severely punished.
After a few more days, Dong Zhuo left another thirty cavalry soldiers to assist the county Cheng Li Ru in governing the government. Then, he went out of Yanmen Pass in the west and went north to beg for thieves.
In just two months, more than ten northern expeditions, dozens of tribes in the entire western Xianbei were slaughtered and plundered by Dong Taishou. Even in a certain campaign in mid-October, Dong Tai's soldiers pointed directly at Danhan Mountain.
provoked the anger of the lord of Xianbei, and waved more than 10,000 troops to kill him on the edge of the vengeful water. However, the two sides fought for a day and night, but the final result was that the Xianbei people suffered thousands of casualties, and Dong Zhuo easily broke through with hundreds of soldiers and returned to Dai County.
So far, Dong Zhongying's name has resounded throughout the north. Countless rangers and heroes are admired. Many people rushed to Gaoliu to enter Dong Zhuo's account.
The young man who was called "Guorang" is also an admirer of Dong Taishou, and he also wants to follow the northern frontier. It's a pity that my mother didn't allow it.
"I'll never give up!" So said the boy.

Luoyang, Yong'an Palace.
Today's Empress Dowager Dong's fiftieth birthday, because it is not Jiazi's birthday, so only the Son of Heaven, General He, Dong's relatives, Queen He and a concubine are called to set up a banquet in the palace, which is lively.
Liu Xie, Princess Wannian, Liu Wei and [Neng Advocate] Biyue were also at the table. However, the three siblings were not used to the atmosphere of this banquet, and when they had free time, they ran out one after another.
Yong'an Houyuan, Liu Wei summoned [Xianqi], took down the [water tricycle], and gave it to Liu Mo, the princess of Wannian.
Liu Mo was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Huang!" ”
She is also playful, in the past, when [Little Sword Fairy] Du Luoluo was in Beijing, the two were commensurate with sisters, flying swords and horses every day, fighting unevenly, and tossing the powerful people of Luoyang.
However, Liu Mo is different from Du Luoluo who is "motion sickness", and her "car feeling" is very good. After only riding three or five times in the back garden, she was able to operate it with ease, and even dared to try to drift in a flying car.
Liu Xie, who had been behind the two of them, also wanted to ride, but Liu Mo didn't allow it. So he summoned a foal three feet high, and chased after [the tricycle], and ran all over the garden.
Liu Wei and Biyue sat quietly in the garden together, watching the two of them riding and laughing.
At the entrance of the back garden, the yellow gate is waiting here. At first, he smiled. But when he didn't look at it much, he frowned.
