On the second day of the first month of the third year of Chuping, news came from Youfufeng that Yiwu was captured by a group of bandits, and the grain, grass and property had not yet had time to be transported, and all of them fell into the hands of bandits. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info right Fufeng Wang Hong escaped, and some people rumored that it was Ma Teng and Han Sui who secretly sent soldiers to attack Yiwu.

Wang Yun was furious and almost immediately sent someone to question Ma Teng and Han Sui, but was persuaded by others.

On the same day, Li Su, the cavalry captain, led a thousand soldiers and horses to pursue Zhang Liao, encountered an ambush, and was defeated.

The news of Dong Zhuo's death also quickly spread to Hongnong, and Dong Zhuo's old department stationed in the Hongnong area was all panicked, Zhonglang secretly returned Duan Xuan to the imperial court, Zhonglang sent Niu Fu to no movement, and Dong Zhuo appointed Dong Yue, the Hedong Taishou who replaced Jia Xu, was killed by Hedong soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain when he entered Hedong, and Niu Fu became the first general of Dong Zhuo's old department in Hongnong County.

On the fourth day of the first month, the Fenwei general Lu Bu ordered Li Su to lead his troops to attack Niufu in Shaanxi County.

At the same time, the news of Zhang Liao's life also spread throughout Chang'an City, and hundreds of people rejoiced about it, but then the news that the court did not pardon Zhang Liao spread, which made everyone stunned.

Soon news spread, just because Zhang Liao saved Cai Zhonglang, who was imprisoned, and Weiyangjun, the little girl who had saved him in front of Dong Zhuo, everyone was more sympathetic to Xiao Zhang Sima, and they had quite objections to Situ Wang Yun who did not pardon him.

This is the guidance of public opinion, if Zhang Liao saves Cai Yong, it will be nothing, but it will be famous, but saving Dong Bai may cause many people's objections, just because Dong Bai is Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, and she has enjoyed the supreme glory of Feng Weiyangjun.

In this regard, Zhang Liao naturally has the means, he let the shadow lead public opinion to Dong Bai's identity as an innocent little girl and the things that save his life, so that Zhang Liao saved Dong Bai and became a husband who will repay his kindness, and Dong Bai's kind character will also make people distinguish her from Dong Zhuo and attract people's sympathy.

In addition, there is also a news that began to spread everywhere, it is said that in order to win over Zhang Liao, Situ Wang Yun begged to give his righteous daughter to Zhang Liao as a concubine, but he repented and broke his promise, and instead chased and killed Zhang Liao.

The word begging made Wang Yun, who learned the news, furious, but he was difficult to refute, with his temperament, he could not do the act of denying the debt, and the inexplicable failure of the serial plan also made him shameless to say this.

Seeing that Lu Bu was passive and sluggish, Wang Yun learned that Zhang Liao's direction was Hedong, and immediately ordered Zuo Feng Yi and Song Yi to lead troops to block the road and kill Zhang Liao. At the same time, Wang Yun appointed Shangshu Yang Zan as the Taishou of Hedong, wanting to cut off Zhang Liao's retreat. But precisely because Zhang Liao went to Hedong, Wang Yun did not suspect that he did what happened to Hewu.

On the seventh day of the first month, Li Su led his troops to engage Niu Fu in Hongnong, but he was defeated again and returned alone. Lü Bu was furious and killed Li Su, and from then on, the state soldiers were completely controlled by him. Wang Yun originally wanted to use Li Su to balance Lu Bu, but in the face of such a result, he had nothing to say, just because Lu Bu had the right to fake the festival and had the right to kill Li Su.

On the tenth day of the first month, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, led hundreds of civil and military officials to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an to worship the heavens and give amnesty to the world. Dong Zhuo's old ministry was pardoned except for Niu Fu, Dong Yue, and Zhang Liao. At this time, they did not know that Dong Yue had died in Hedong.

On the same day, the imperial court sent an envoy Zhang Chong out of the customs to comfort the Kanto.

……

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, at night, in Shaanxi County, Hongnong County, in a fort dock on the side of the military camp outside the county, Niu Fu sat in the hall, his appearance was depressed, and his eyes were blank.

Dong Zhuo's death hit him very hard, not to say how deep his feelings for Dong Zhuo were, the key is that there are still his wives and children in Yiwu, I am afraid that he will also be killed. And it was Dong Zhuo's death that suddenly made him lose his backbone, he didn't have the courage and ambition of Dong Zhuo, and he never thought of replacing Dong Zhuo's role, what he was most worried about at the moment was that he was afraid that the army would get out of control.

Most of the soldiers under his command were Qianghu soldiers from the borderlands, unruly and mercenary, and they relied on Dong Zhuo's prestige in Liangzhou to subdue them, and it was also because Dong Zhuo could bring them benefits that they followed.

But now that the news of Dong Zhuo's death has spread, Niu Fu can't predict what will happen to these Qiang Hu soldiers. And Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, who he has always relied on, are still in Kanto and have not returned, even if these people come back, will they still listen to him?

As soon as he thought of this, Niu Fu felt a little restless in his heart, and couldn't help but get up and wander.

He looked at Wu Zhu on the side and asked: "Dong Gong is dead, the people are panicking, the Qiang Hu soldiers are cruel and unrighteous, and a mutiny will occur if one is not careful, but what should be done in the current situation?" ”

Wu Zhu has no way, but as Wu Zhu, she is the best at dealing with it, and she said without hurry: "The general's life is noble, and he has his own nobles to help, could it be that he forgot Zhang Zhijunhu?" You can take refuge in Hedong. ”

Niu Fu's face changed slightly, and then he sighed: "Dong Gong broke with Wen Yuan and almost killed him, although I heard that he is still alive, but he must hate Dong Gong, how can he help me?" ”

Wu Zhu said: "Zhang Yuanjun is a person who values love and righteousness, and the general is friendly with him, and he will inevitably help the general." ”

Niu Fu's face changed continuously, and he groaned, he was now in a panic, no one dared to believe it, he could have trusted his friend Zhang Liao, but with Dong Zhuo almost killing Zhang Liao in front of him, he had no bottom in his heart.

Wu Zhu saw that Niu Fu was hesitant, and said: "The general also has a good relationship with Jia Zhonglang, I heard that he is in the pond, why don't you send someone to inquire about him?" ”

"Not bad! You can ask Wen He. Niu Fu's eyes lit up, and he was about to give an order, when suddenly someone outside made an urgent report: "General, the big thing is not good, there is a rebellion in the camp." ”

"Rebellion?!" Niu Fudeng's complexion changed drastically.

You must know that it is night, and once a mutiny occurs, the consequences will be extremely terrible, especially those Qianghu soldiers with corrupt military discipline, I am afraid that they will cut and kill indiscriminately regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies.

"Call Hu Chi'er immediately!" Niu Fu ordered without hesitation.

He looked at Wu Zhu again: "Immediately pack up your belongings and prepare to escape." ”

"General," Wu Zhu still wanted to persuade.

Niu Fu's face was pale and trembling, but he said categorically: "The night camp change is the most terrible, one is not good, we have all turned into powder, and now we can only escape as soon as possible, go to Hedong first, and then return to Liangzhou." ”

Wu Zhu didn't understand military affairs, and after listening to what Niu Fu said, he was also afraid, and the two immediately took a few maidservants to clean up the gold, silver, pearls, jade and other valuables in the fort.

After wrapping a few packages, Niu Fu's most trusted warrior Zhi Hu Chi'er brought people over.

Zhihu Chi'er is a Yuezhihu person, from the Western Regions, not Qianghu, quite brave, Niu Fu has always been a confidant.

"Chi'er," Niu Fu said urgently: "There is a mutiny in the camp, the situation is dangerous, quickly take five warriors and escort me to Hedong overnight." ”

Zhihu Chi'er saw Niu Fu stuffed with several boxes and packages of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and greed flashed in his eyes, but he patted his chest and said loudly: "The general can rest assured, just leave with the villain." ”

Niu Fu didn't see the greed in Zhihu Chi'er's eyes, and said happily when he heard this: "When you arrive in Hedong, there will be a heavy reward." ”

Zhihu Chi'er immediately went to a car, took five strong men to load the boxes and packages into the car, and took advantage of this opportunity, Wu Zhu whispered to Niu Fu: "General, do you remember what Zhang Yuanjun once said?" ”

Niu Fu was stunned: "What words?" ”

Wu Zhu pointed to Zhihu Chi'er, who was busy, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Yuanjun once said that this person has a backbone in the back of his head, and the general should be careful to guard against it. ”

Niu Fu sighed in his heart, and also remembered this matter, and a suspicious look flashed on his face: "The anti-bone thing, is it really credible?" Is this trip auspicious or evil? ”

Wu Zhu said: "The auspicious and unpredictable are unpredictable, and the general should be careful to take precautions." ”

At this time, Zhi Hu Chi'er had already loaded the car and said loudly: "General, you can go quickly." ”

"Let's wait a moment," Niu Fu responded, hurriedly went to the inner room to wear the inner armor, and took a long sword from the house and hung it on his waist.

The fort dock is still some distance away from the barracks, and when Niu Fu and Zhihu Chi'er left the fort, they heard chaos in the direction of the barracks from a distance, and the shouts of killing were endless.

They immediately turned around and hurried north.

Wheel! Wheel!

After walking for several miles, the surroundings were quiet, only the sound of wheels, the sky was bent and the moon was slanting, the light was limited, and it was pitch black on all sides, except for the torches lit by Hu Chi'er and a few people.

Niu Fu, who was sitting in the car, had been holding a string in his heart, Zhang Liao's sentence "This person has a backbone in the back of his head" has been ringing in his mind, he was in power at that time and didn't care, but at this moment he was uneasy in his heart, and he felt that there were shadows and shadows around him, as if someone was following.

Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Niu Fu was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Chi'er, why did you stop?" ”

"Hahahaha." Zhihu Chi'er suddenly let out a loud laugh: "General Niu, we are really poor and want to ask for some money." ”

Looking at the hideous and rampant face of Hu Chi'er under the light of this torch, as well as the chilling laughter, Niu Fu's heart sank, and he forced out a smile: "Chi'er wants money, and General Ben will divide half of it in Hedong." ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhihu Chi'er laughed: "Half? Not enough, we want it all! ”

Niu Fu's color changed, and he subconsciously clenched the long sword at his waist: "When you arrive in Hedong, you will wait for all of you." ”

"The villain is afraid of the general's revenge, so he wants the general's life!" When Zhihu Chi'er said this, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and pressed up with the guards.

Seeing this, Niu Fu's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Chi'er, I don't wait for you on weekdays......"

"Humph! You Han people have always looked down on us Hu people, treated us as slaves, and dared to say that they were not thin. Zhihu Chi'er said hesitantly: "Now that Taishi Dong is dead, a catastrophe is coming, but the villain wants the general's head to exchange for wealth and nobility in the Han court, and accept his life." ”

Zhihu Chi'er drew his sword and slashed at Niu Fu, Niu Fu hurriedly wanted to draw his sword, but he couldn't pull it out in a panic, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Spare your life!" ”

Under the firelight, Zhi Hu Chi'er smiled fiercely, and the scimitar slashed straight at his neck, and at the same time, several other Hu people also slashed at Wu Zhu, who followed, and Wu Zhu screamed.

Seeing the scimitar slash to his neck in a blink of an eye, Niu Fu was extremely frightened, closed his eyes in horror, and could only wait for death in despair, he only heard the sentence that Zhang Liao had said in his mind, "This person has a backbone in the back of his head", he regretted it in his heart, and only hated why he didn't care about Zhang Liao's words at the beginning, otherwise how could there be today.

"Ahh Niu Fu screamed miserably.

Almost at the same time, he seemed to hear Zhihu Chi'er's scream: "Ah! ”

Then there was a clang, the sound of a scimitar falling on the carriage.

Niu Fu thought he had misheard, but soon heard a few more screams, and he hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see Hu Chi'er's hideous face lying in front of him, his pupils dilated, and a crossbow arrow pierced through the side of his neck.

"Ahh Niu Fu screamed in fright, rolled out of the carriage, but was helped up by an arm, Niu Fu's body shook, his whole body was weak and weak, and he almost collapsed, he didn't know what was going on at this time, his mind was confused and frightened, but he heard a familiar and gentle voice in his ears: "Brother Niu, are you okay?" ”
