It is also inevitable that Dong Zhuo will be able to unite the Qiang people.

The land of Xiliang was originally the Han court's placement of foreign clans in the Western Regions who were willing to obey the jurisdiction of the Han court. Not only the Eastern Han Dynasty, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the former Qin and Eastern Han Dynasty, and then to the current Western Han Dynasty, many Qiang tribes have been placed in the territory of Xiliang, such as the first zero department, the burning dangdang department, the Han Kai department, the prison sister department, the gang sister department, the sealing department, the dang decoction department, the Khotan department, the burning He department, the Khotan zero department, etc. There are also those who surrendered to the Han court, regardless of the Southern Xiongnu, the Xiongnu slaughtered various departments, and there are also branches of the Yueshi people who have not moved west, the Xiaoyue people.

Now Dong Zhuo's Niu Fu has a fierce general, Hu Chi'er, who is from the Xiaoyue clan. Dong Zhuo has been fighting in Xiliang for many years, although he has offended many foreigners, but he also has close ties with many ethnic minority tribes. As early as after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, Dong Zhuo frequently sent people to contact with foreigners in Xiliang. This time, it was the coalition army of one of the branches of Burning Dangqiang and Wushi that crossed the two counties of Anding and Beidi.

The leader who led 30,000 soldiers and horses was the current leader of Dangqiang, and after surrendering to the leader of the Han court in the past, he was numb. He was accompanied by Ma Yan's brother, Ma Se. In addition to the two brothers Ma Yan and Ma Se, there is also a general who is a member of the Yue Clan, whose name is Shui Zhen, and he is also the son of the contemporary leader of the Yue Clan.

"Big brother, it's rare to come to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, how can you not wreak havoc in the land of Luoyang?" Ma Se looked at Ma Yu and said excitedly. When Ma Yan heard this, his face was also a little excited, anyway, Dong Zhuo said that he only needed to trap Xiang Ao in the city. Now that Dong Zhuo's own army has also arrived outside Pinyang City, the leader left some soldiers and horses to pretend to surround Xiang Ao.

Ma Yan thought about it, his heart was ruthless, and he said fiercely: "That's natural, we just need to leave a little confusion Xiang Ao." ”

"The leader of Ma Yan still thinks twice, the hinterland of the Central Plains can produce many people, even if the land of Luoyang is in chaos, I'm afraid it is not a place where we can spread the wilderness casually." Shui Zhen on the side smiled lightly, and kindly dissuaded: "Leader Ma, don't spoil the big thing of Master Dong." ”

"Humph! What decision does this leader make and needs your yellow-haired boy to intervene? Ma Yan, who was already full of meat, roared even more disgusting and ugly because of anger: "Ru Xiaoyue's clan is just a small land, and it is also a great blessing to be valued by Master Dong." If you can follow this leader to get merit, go home and burn incense. ”

Now the Xiaoyue clan is indeed weak, especially in the chaotic Xiliang land, the Xiaoyue clan is even more a man with his tail between his legs. On the other hand, Burning Dangqiang, it is indeed the largest force among the Qiang people, and the destruction of the Xiaoyue clan is only a wave of his hand. Shui Zhen's face was flushed with anger from Ma Yan, and he didn't dare to offend Ma Yan too much, so as not to settle accounts after the fall. Seeing Shui Zhen's expression, Ma Se smiled coldly and said, "Yue's little baby, just come out and see the world, don't say much." ”

Shui Zhen looked at the two Ma Yan brothers with a slightly humiliated expression, squeezed his fists fiercely, and nodded stiffly.

Subsequently, the brothers Ma Yan and Ma Se let Shui Zhen lead the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Xiaoyue clan, built a lot of straw men here, and pretended to besiege the county seat of Pinyang, but he led more than 20,000 Qiang cavalry, intending to cross the Yellow River and run towards the east of the river.

If Xiang Ao knew about this matter, there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in the east, and he would definitely not have a stalemate with Lu Bu again and break through to the east. However, Xiang Ao was not idle, and spent all day thinking about how to get out of trouble.

Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and Xiang Ao saw the rapid consumption of grain and grass in Pinyang City, but he was helpless. And Lu Bu's soldiers and horses did not move, making Xiang Ao, who did not know that Cao Cao and Sun Jian occupied, secretly anxious. If it is really not feasible, you have to risk breaking through to the north, even if you encounter the Qiang cavalry that is reckless in the south of Bingzhou, it is much better than being trapped in Pinyang City.

I don't know if it's because Dian Wei is not good at arithmetic, or whatever. It was originally expected to last for half a month, but after seven or eight days passed, the remaining baggage could be supported for another three days. Xiang Ao had no choice but to convene the generals again to discuss countermeasures.

"The generals have countermeasures, how to break through?"

Xiang Ao asked slowly towards everyone, his eyes slowly sweeping over the faces of the generals. It's a pity that everyone is either ashamed or helpless, which makes Xiang Ao disappointed.

"If the soldiers and horses of the Northern Regions face 30,000 foreign soldiers and horses, can Xiang Gong have the confidence to defeat them?" When Xiang Ao was bored, Han Hao came out and asked.

Xiang Ao was slightly surprised, could it be that the heir of the Yuan had a plan? Thinking so, Xiang Ao hurriedly said: "If the Qiang cavalry is the same as the Xianbei cavalry, the three thousand feathers under my command can be broken by killing two thousand Zilong!" ”

Seeing the confidence in Xiang Ao's eyes, Han Hao was a little shocked, and he was slightly relieved, and Han Hao continued: "If this is the case, you can break through." ”

After Han Hao slowly came up with a plan, Xiang Ao didn't think much about it and refused directly: "No, although the five thousand Imperial Forest Army is not the descendant of the general, it is also the elite of the elite, and it is also the people of the Han Dynasty." How can the Yulin army be indecisive? ”

Xiang Ao never agreed to Han Hao's strategy, and Han Hao was also helpless. After Yu Linjun learned of Xiang Ao's decision, Yu Linjun's opinion of Xiang Ao gradually changed. At this time, the commander of the Yulin Army was Emperor Heng's important minister, the grandson of Taifu Hengyan, the name dictionary, the word Gongya, and the official canonization of the Yulin Zhonglang General by the imperial court.

Huan Dian reverted to his family business, teaching Yingchuan with "Shangshu", and hundreds of disciples. Take filial piety and honesty as a lang. There are few people, and Wang Ji will be sentenced for his crimes, so his relatives dare not come. Huan Dian abandoned the official and returned to the funeral, served the mourning for three years, turned the soil into a grave, and went to the ancestral hall for the sake of the ancestral hall. and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the general He Jin Bingzheng, Huan Dian and the conspirators, moved Pingjin Duwei, Hook Shield Order, and moved Yulin Zhonglang until the first emperor ascended the throne.

Hengdian is the dragon of the Han country, the Heng family is the largest local family in the country, coupled with its ancestors and the ability to serve as the three princes, the Heng family is also quite famous in the world of today's Han court, not to mention the many disciples of Yingchuan who are the most gathered in Junjie. As a result of the training of the family and the teacher, Hengdian has only been an official since he entered the court, and he is upright and jealous. Although he failed to create merit and fame, he made a lot of contributions to both the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the plot to get rid of the eunuchs.

However, his upright temperament offended many people, especially the eunuchs who controlled the court at the beginning, so that Hengdian failed to be promoted, and was used as a bait by Dong Zhuo to stay in Luoyang to resist the coalition army. Originally, Hengdian thought that Xiang Ao, the prince of Zhenguo, would attend the meeting like other princes, only knowing how to protect his own interests, and he was not really the king of Qin, even if he was rescued by Xiang Ao, he was also on guard against Xiang Ao, for fear that after Dong Zhuo was destroyed, the next Dong Zhuo would appear.

The news of the discussion of the breakout was leaked, but Hengdian changed his opinion of Xiang Ao's Northern Domain Army.

"The last general, Hengdian, has seen the hussar general!"

"Oh? It's General Gongya! Xiang Ao looked at Hengdian curiously, and kindly stepped forward to help Hengdian and asked, "I don't know what General Gongya is coming?" ”

Hengdian didn't pay much respect, got up, and said to Xiang Ao again: "I heard that the general has made a plan to break through?" ”

"Hey..."Xiang Ao sighed lightly, and Yin Hengdian sat down and said helplessly: "Dong Zhuo is treacherous, and he has collected all the grain and grass in Pinyang, even if it is a northern village and town, it is almost a strong wall. Now the soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions are only enough for two or three days, and it is also helpless to break through. ”

Hengdian also knew the situation around Pinyang, nodded in agreement: "The hussar general's helpless move, the last general understands!" Dong Zhuo led the troops into Beijing under the banner of King Qin in the past, but now he is bullying His Majesty, and the cholera harem is really a traitor. The hussar general was benevolent and righteous, risked his life to initiate the payment of documents, and even came to King Qin thousands of miles away, loyal to the Han family, and the sky can be seen. ”

Hengdian paused, and without waiting for Xiang Ao to reply, he continued to take care of himself: "The last general also heard some news, the general is sympathetic to our Royal Forest Army, and the last general is grateful. But the general should also understand that as a general, he must not have the heart of a woman. Why don't you agree with the break of the Wu Yulin army? ”

"There are many cavalry under the general's command, if it is broken, it will definitely fall into the encirclement and suppression of the iron cavalry and the Qiang cavalry. However, the Wu Yulin Army is a mixed army, with shields, robbers, horses, and bows, and it can be formed to block the cavalry charge. As long as the general promises that after getting rid of Dong Zhuo's encirclement and suppression, he must not forget the original intention of sending troops today and return to His Majesty. I also ask the general to let us wait for the rest of the day, so as to gain some time for the general's troops and horses to withdraw from the Northern Regions. ”

Hengdian said, looking at Xiang Ao with a pleading face, and even with a little begging.

The man in front of him was no more than seven feet long, with ordinary facial features, and he did not have the handsome appearance of most children of the family, let alone the unparalleled martial arts of Xiang Ao's fierce generals, but at this time, the perseverance and pleading revealed in the man's eyes caught Xiang Ao off guard.

Xiang Ao looked at Hengdian solemnly, thought for a long time, and said firmly: "No! The duty of the Yulin Army is to protect the palace and protect the safety of His Majesty, and the existence of the Yulin Army is not to kill with the same clan within the realm of the Great Han. Now that the Yulin Army is temporarily under the command of this general, the general has the responsibility to make the Yulin Army fight worthwhile, even if it is a horse leather shroud, it must be on the battlefield where the Yulin Army should be, not here. ”

Hengdian's ambition when he was young was not to lead troops to fight, but the situation came, so Hengdian moved to Yulin Zhonglang General three times. Hengdian and the soldiers of the Yulin Army have been getting along for many years, which has made Hengdian, who was originally a little sour, become wild and uninhibited now, and he values love and righteousness. And Dong Zhuo's existence made the Yulin Army, who was originally powerful and famous outside the world, become a tool for Dong Zhuo to seek personal gain, and Hengdian was heartbroken.

Hengdian knew that even if the Yulin Army could return to His Majesty again, Dong Zhuo would not reuse them, and even used them as cannon fodder and bait to get rid of them all at the right time. In such a situation, Hengdian lost the direction of persistence, and he didn't know where the Yulin Army should go now. If the Yulin Army can only exist like such a walking corpse in the future, it is better to die vigorously on the battlefield. With such a thoughtful constant, Xiang Ao was found.

Although Hengdian didn't explain what he thought in his heart, how could Xiang Ao, who was also a general, not see what Hengdian was thinking?

It seems that the mind is connected, and Hengdian also saw Xiang Ao's thoughts.

"Is the hussar general taking pity on the Yulin army by arranging it like this?" Heng Dian smiled bitterly: "If the Yulin Army needs mercy, the Yulin Army will no longer have the meaning of being invincible and start-up, and the general still thinks that the existence of the Yulin Army is still valuable?" ”

Xiang Ao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face looked extremely ashamed.
