Xiang Ao did not plan to be stationed in Xie County, plotting to burn the dang. Instead, he led the army towards Hedong Zhizhi Anyi. There is no other reason, but Xie County has already been burned and looted once, and it can't raise too much grain and grass. If you go to Hongnong when you burn it, maybe Anyi can still raise some grain and grass.

Along the way, there was no trouble or strangeness, and Xiang Ao's army smoothly entered the city of Dao'anyi. As for the Anyi defenders? Hehe, Xiang Ao is the Duke of Dahan Town, plus nearly 30,000 elites, even if Hedong Taishou is reluctant, can he beat Xiang Ao's army! After entering the city, of course, he asked for grain and grass, and the Taishou of Hedong and the families in the city were also interested, and after Xiang Ao opened his mouth, he obediently sent 200,000 stone grain and grass baggage, which was enough for Xiang Ao's army in March.

It is also a good thing that Xiang Ao and the Hedong family did not have friction, and after Xiang Ao Dao made his intentions, the Hedong family welcomed it even more. If the 20,000 Qiang people attack and kill Anyi, plus the Baibo army in the north, Hedong will definitely have no grass, let alone want to live.

Looking for Dangqiang to hand over to Zhao Yun, Xiang Ao was not in a hurry. However, the Yulin Army that followed dullly along the way made Xiang Ao anxious. is so elite, and it symbolizes the belief of the Han Dynasty in the past, how can it be so decadent.

"General Gongya!"

Hengdian was covered in white bandages, especially the bandages on his back, which were bright red. Looking at Hengdian, whose eyes were gloomy and lifeless, Xiang Ao didn't know what to say except for shouting. Xiang Ao slowly came to Hengdian's couch, sat casually on Hengdian's side sitting on the wooden couch, and planned to raise his hand and pat Hengdian's shoulder to comfort Hengdian.

But seeing such a constant ceremony, Xiang Ao subconsciously withdrew his raised right hand. Dian Wei, who was guarding Xiang Ao outside the door, couldn't bear to look at Heng Dian, and even turned red uncontrollably, as if he was a little wet.

"The Yulin Army has its own glory and its own beliefs, does General Gongya plan to continue to be so decadent and let the Yulin warriors under his command fend for themselves?" Xiang Ao, who had been looking like this for a long time, suddenly became angry for some reason, and said in a deep voice angrily. Hengdian had never heard of it, and his eyes were still staring gloomily at the void in front of him.

Xiang Ao, who was furious, stood up violently and slapped Hengdian's face where the scars had not yet fallen. With a crisp sound, Hengdian was slapped by the angry Xiang Ao and fell to the wooden couch, and the wound on his face also cracked, and a trace of bright red blood came out.

"Hengdian! I will not hesitate to use my reputation to leave Your Majesty alone for the time being, and I will save you, and you will repay you like this? How to be worthy of the general, how to be worthy of Your Majesty, how to be worthy of the Han? ”

Seeing this, Dian Wei was startled, and hurriedly rushed into the room and hugged Xiang Ao: "General Heng is injured all over his body, and he can't stand the toss of the lord!" Xiang Ao pushed Dian Wei away, looked at Heng Dian angrily, clenched his fists, and suppressed the urge to step forward and slap Heng Dian again.

Xiang Ao's angry questioning seemed to wake Hengdian up. Hengdian propped himself up with a little waste, and when he raised his head, he let Xiang Ao and Dian Wei see the man's tears.

"Ten thousand Feather Forest Warriors!" Hengdian was miserable, and slammed the wooden couch with his injured fists and said miserably: "More than 4,000 were burned to death by the Luoyang fire, and even if the hundreds were saved, they could not be treated and died when they fled north." finally survived half of them, but was brutally killed by Lu Bu. Even if more than a thousand warriors survive, will they still be able to go to war in the future? ”

"Huh!? Zhen Guogong, tell me, is it okay? Hengdian didn't seem to feel the pain of the wounds around him, stared at his eyes, and even looked at Xiang Ao with a little anger and roared: "If you are dead, you will die, so humiliating, it is good to die in battle, and you can still leave a prestige." But why save us? Why did he save us in the name of abandoning King Qin? Do you want to make Yulin Army a sinner for the ages? ”

"Huh!? Xiang Ao, tell the general, why do you want to make the warriors of Wu Yulin a sinner through the ages! Hengdian suddenly jumped away from the wooden couch, staggered in front of Xiang Ao, and smashed Xiang Ao's chest with a blood-soaked fist. However, just after jumping up, the only trace of strength of the seriously injured Hengdian instantly dissipated, and he fell down in mid-air in a daze.

Without waiting for Xiang Ao's reaction, Dian Wei stepped forward from behind Xiang Ao, and caught Heng Dian who was about to fall to the ground in danger.

Xiang Ao looked at Hengdian, who had blood and tears mixed with his face, and suddenly smiled.

"Gongya is still alive, I would have thought Gongya was dead!"

"Hengdian has been for a long time, woo woo... Long dead! Hengdian, who was helped by Dian Wei on the wooden couch again, bowed down, shrunk into a ball, and cried: "Hengdian is alive like this, what is the difference between death, and what face does he have to face the world, face the Han, and face the ancestors!" Yes... Woooooo

Xiang Ao tried his best to hold back the slight sparkle in his eyes, came to Hengdian's bed, and with a relieved smile, gently patted Hengdian's shoulder and said, "The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place!" ”

Xiang Ao said, Hengdian cried even more miserably, and the voice spread throughout the several miles of military camps stationed outside Anyi City. When the soldiers outside the barracks heard Dao Hengdian's heart-rending cry, they were all silent, and even many emotional people secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes. Only they understand how it feels for their comrades to fall in front of them one by one, and what it is like for them to fall and survive when they fall.

After surviving, you have to be sorry for the robe or how painful it is to end your meaningless life without selfishness. Especially in the Yulin Army recuperating in the camp next door, it was even more painful, and the entire remaining more than 1,000 Yulin Army were in tears. Some sobbed quietly, some cried loudly, and some only had tears, but they couldn't cry.

The soldiers in charge of security outside the tent of the Yulin military camp did not enter the camp to stop the Yulin army, and the generals who inspected the camps did not prevent any of the soldiers from looking gloomy, as if only in this way could they help their robes relieve the pain and get rid of some pain.

"Since Gongya can't bear to be so annihilated in the Feather Forest, why can't he cheer up and revive the Feather Forest?"

When Hengdian had suffered enough, Xiang Ao asked Hengdian softly. Although the voice was subtle, the expectation, persistence and trust contained in Xiang Ao's voice made Hengdian raise his gloomy eyes.

"Can you revive the Feather Forest?" seemed to be asking himself, and seemed to be waiting for Xiang Ao's affirmative answer, at this time, Hengdian's eyes slowly appeared a little bright.

"What is Yulin?" Xiang Ao did not directly answer Hengdian: "For the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest!" Since Gongya is worried that Yulin's return to the imperial court will be used by Dong Zhuo again, is it better to stay away from the imperial court and guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty? ”

Hengdian's eyes lit up and he looked at Xiang Ao expectantly.

Xiang Ao continued: "Since I am the prince of the Han town, the prosperity of the town is the duty of the father. This duke promised to select elites for Yulin, provide food, grass and military salaries, and conquer the Western Regions. After the Central Plains is pacified, the court will return to the court after it is stable! ”

"If that's the case?"

"That's true!"

"Good! Good! Good! Hengdian shouted, and said with a hearty smile: "Hahaha... The last will be healed, Xiang Gong, the last will be healed! ”

Seeing Hengdian like this, not only Xiang Ao, but even Dian Wei on the side was relieved. It's a pity that such a hero is lost for the rest of his life. Dian Wei was smirking beside him, happy for Hengdian.

"Lord, General Zhao sent scouts to report that the location of the Qiang cavalry has been confirmed!"

Before Xiang Ao was happy, another happy event ushered in. Xiang Ao's eyebrows were upturned, and his joy was revealed, so he turned to Dian Wei and said: "Quickly arrange for the military medicine craftsman to diagnose and treat General Gongya, and I will go to find Zilong!" ”

"No!"

Under Dian Wei's response, Xiang Ao patted Hengdian on the shoulder, and led the guards towards the front army tent where Zhao Yun was located.

"Zilong, how is Qiang riding?" Xiang Ao strode into Zhao Yun's military tent and asked Zhao Yun a little anxiously.

When Zhao Yun saw Xiang Ao coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord, the scouts have found out, and at this time, the Qiang cavalry is divided into two parts to plunder. There are more than 15,000 people attacking Hongnong, and the remaining soldiers and horses are nearly 10,000, plundering in the Xin'an area, and there seem to be signs of going to Luoyang. ”

"Huh! Quite an appetite! Xiang Ao snorted coldly, crossed Zhao Yun, and came to the map in Zhao Yun's military tent and said: "If the situation told by Cao Cao has not changed before, there should be two thousand garrisons in Hongnong City, although it is only a county soldier, but the Qiang people are not good at attacking the city, and it is impossible to take Hongnong in a short time." even divided troops to plunder the Xin'an area, which is really death! ”

"My lord, the Qiang people are also horse nomads, and their combat style is definitely not much different from that of Xianbei and other tribes." Zhao Yun said indifferently: "Our army is elite, it is not difficult to defeat the Qiang people who are not more than 10,000 people, the difficulty is how to annihilate them all, after all, the nomads are all good at riding." ”

"Humph! If I don't know the enemy, I dare to go deep into the hinterland, how is it different from looking for death? Xiang Ao said disdainfully: "Even if you can win against Qiangqi, it is not a wise move. Since the Qiang people dare to divide their troops into Xin'an, we will invite Hongnong Qiang to enter the urn. ”

After that, Xiang Ao fiercely nailed his fingers to the county seat of Hebei County, west of Hongnong.

When Xiang Ao designed the Qiang cavalry, Cao Cao, who had withdrawn from Deng County's eastward retreat, was stationed at Hangu Pass at this time, repairing his troops and horses, and he did not know that there were thousands of Qiang cavalry following behind. What Xiang Ao didn't expect was that after Wang Kuang recruited 5,000 soldiers and horses in Mount Tai, he went to Bohai to serve Yuan Shao. Wang Kuang, under the instruction of Yuan Shao, led the soldiers and horses towards Hanoi.

Although Dong Zhuo appointed Zhao Yun as the Hanoi Taishou, the previous Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang did not make any arrangements, and inadvertently, he led a big war. Xiang Ao and Yuan Shao inadvertently started a fight, and Sun Jian, who retired from Wuguan, also encountered nails when he retreated to Changsha, and there were quite a few.

Although the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo exists, the princes of all walks of life are secretly staring at their respective opponents, as long as they find their weaknesses, they will definitely give the other party a fatal blow, eliminate the other party at the same time, and strengthen their own power.
