67. Wait and see

"General, this is the head of Dong Rebellion's mother!"

A Han soldier took the lead in carrying a white-haired head, excitedly reporting to Huangfu Song, who was just about to enter the palace.

This Dong Rebellious mother, who is pampered on weekdays, but when disaster comes, she is like a crazy woman, shouting all the way, trembling and coming to the gate of Yiwu, attracting the eyes of many Han soldiers, and finally let herself step forward to cut off the head first, and take this credit.

Huangfu Song has led the troops for many years, and he can naturally feel the excitement of this team leader for meritorious service, he just glanced at the head, and loudly encouraged the meritorious team leader, and through the praise of this team leader, he indirectly boosted the morale of other soldiers.

Seeing that this Dong Zhuo's painstaking management of the Wuwu finally fell, and the Dong clansmen among them were also killed one after another, Huangfu Song's heart also emerged with a sense of pleasure.

He and Dong Zhuo are like a pair of old enemies who are fighting each other, while one side has unlimited scenery, the other party always has the opportunity to lose power:

In the first year of Zhongping, when he led the five colonels of the Northern Army and the knights of the Three Rivers to sweep the Yellow Turbans north and south of the Great River, Dong Zhuo, who replaced Lu Zhi, was dismissed because of the defeat.

In the second year of Zhongping, because of the false accusations of the eunuchs, he was removed from the seal of the general of the left chariot cavalry, and the official was dismissed, and Dong Zhuo then defeated Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and others.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, he was in charge of the army again, and with the help of the fortified city of Chencang and the wind and snow in the cold winter, he pursued the Liangzhou coalition army that defeated the kingdom, Han Sui and others.

In the first year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo controlled the power of the court, and the power was overwhelming, and he was conscripted into the court, and was almost killed by Dong Zhuo.

In the second year of the first peace, Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an from Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo, who had been promoted to the position of Taishi and above 10,000 people under one person, ordered the civil and military officials to kneel and salute him, and the honor guard was comparable to the Son of Heaven, and Dong Zhuo humiliated himself in front of the hundred officials, and then forced his uncle's widow to death.

Now, Dong Zhuo has given the head, the Dong clan has been wiped out, and the one who led the troops to break through the Yiwu is the one who has endured humiliation and has been dormant for a long time.

Today, the two sides that have been competing finally have an understanding, and Huangfu Song, who has been enduring for a long time, finally raised his eyebrows and was relieved. The folk customs of the Han Dynasty were also influenced by the idea of revenge by blood, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo were enemies of blood feud, he had grasped this opportunity to turn the situation around, and now looking at the old and weak women and children of the Dong family, he did not intend to show mercy to his subordinates and let them go.

"The Dong family, the crime is obvious, according to the edict of the Son of Heaven, it will be destroyed without forgiveness!"

Huangfu Song was ruthless and gave the order to exterminate the Dong clan, and then rode his horse slowly into the Wuwu.

At this moment of ending the blood feud between the two sides, he wants to witness the destruction of Dong Zhuo's family.

Hurt!

This is the only feeling that Dong Dai woke up with, at this time, she was unkempt and hoarse, and she no longer had the slightest of her former demeanor, and her hair, which was once burned by the fire, was also cut off by Dong Dai herself with a dagger on the way to escape, and her body was crawling and shuttling in the grass and forest for a long time, and there were several more scars.

She endured the pain, leaned out of the grass, and confirmed that it was getting dark, and this was an uninhabited wilderness, before gently shaking Xiao Dong Bai, who was huddled beside her, to wake her up from her drowsiness.

Even if Dong Bai fell into a coma, there were still tears on her immature face, presumably she dreamed of something extremely terrifying in her dream, or she recalled today's flying disaster again in her dream.

But in any case, for a little girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, this experience is too painful after all, and in just half a day, she has lost everything in her life.

When fleeing, Dong Dai was still able to use harsh words to stimulate and scare her to keep up with her footsteps, but when she escaped, Dong Dai looked at Dong Bai who woke up leisurely, and was choked up and speechless for a while.

"Sister, am I in a dream?"

This was the first thing Dong Bai said after waking up.

Indeed, the changes happen so quickly that it makes people feel as if they are in a dream. Who would have thought that the two women huddled in the grass now would be the nobles who used to be the nobles who used to be in the dock.

"It's okay, it's all over."

Dong Dai hugged Dong Bai lovingly, her eyes looked at the way she came from when she fled, only to see black smoke rising from the sky in the direction of Yiwu, which lasted for a long time, she didn't know what happened to her grandmother and other relatives in the dock fort, and she didn't know how Dong Bai's mother was, let alone whether her young brother could escape, or rather, she didn't dare to think about the results of these things at all.

She hated the courtiers who murdered her father, the soldiers who killed her own people, and she hated herself, she hated that she was not a man, and she could not stand side by side with her father and brother to resist the enemy, and she could only survive in such a humiliating way.

With Dong Bai incognito, where to flee, Dong Dai had already made a decision in her heart when she fled. But when she looked in the direction of the black smoke again, she still couldn't help but feel the urge to cry out loud.

Hedong Pishi City

Yan Xing stood on the rammed city wall, his palm gently rubbing the thick battlements, his eyes looking at the land of Sanfu to the west, which was only a river away from Pi's, and he was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Where have Yang Feng and the candidate Baibo arrived?"

I don't know how long it took for Yan Xingcai to suddenly look back and ask Xi Zhicai, who was also standing quietly beside him.

"According to last night's fast horse report, Yang Feng and the candidates have crossed the river from Longmen and attacked Xiayang, although these Bai Bo remnants are not fully armoured, but most of them are soldiers who have seen blood, and they may still lack equipment to attack Xiayang City, but it is more than enough to plunder the countryside and mobilize Zuo Fengyi's county soldiers."

Xi Zhicai counted the movements of the Bai Bo army after crossing the river.

After Yan Xing's Xiliang army took control of Pi's big northern city in the name of assisting in the defense of Pi's city, it did send troops out of the city to attack the fleeing Baibo army, and after the Baibo army feinted, they crossed the river from Longmen to the west according to the route that Yan Xing instructed them, and invaded into Sanfu.

After pacifying the Baibo army, Yan Xing's Xiliang army not only stepped up its efforts to consolidate its rule over the newly recovered cities in the northeast of Hedong, but also took advantage of Dong Zhuo's death and the chaos in Chang'an, and began to extend its tentacles into the land of Sanfu with a strip of water.

The remnants of the Baibo Army were only the first people sent by Yan Xing to Sanfu to disturb the situation in Zuo Fengyi, and the Xiliang Army of his headquarters was still stationed in Pishi City on the other side, and he did not rashly invade Sanfu, Yan Xing had to carefully test the attitude of the Chang'an Imperial Court that had just been turned upside down.

The assassination of Dong Zhuo in Chang'an City was April 23, and by the time it reached Yan Xing of the Pi clan in Hedong, it was already the end of April.

During this period of time, the prestige of Situ Wang Yun, who successfully suppressed Dong Rebellious, reached its peak, and he began to dominate the government of the Chang'an court.

Tian Jing, Liu Huan, Tang Zhen and other Dong Zhuo's henchmen were either killed on the spot, or sent to prison for questioning, and even Cai Yong, a well-known celebrity at home, was imprisoned by Wang Yun as Dong against Yu because of his words, and finally died unjustly in prison.

In addition to Jingzhao Yin, where Chang'an is located, Wang Yun personally sits in charge, right Fufeng and left Feng Yi are also sent by Wang Yun to guard Wang Hong and Song Yi, who are in the same county as him.

As for the generals of the Xiliang Army stationed in Chang'an, Dong Min and Dong Huang have died, Dong Yue and Fan Chou have fled, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Xu Rong and others have surrendered to the Chang'an Imperial Court.

"I waited for the letter begging for forgiveness to arrive in Chang'an, and there was no news, and the attitude of the Hedong County Government was also vague, at this time, I am afraid that everyone is watching the changes in the situation!"

After Yan Xing listened to the military report that Bai Bojun had entered Sanfu, he sneered, withdrew his eyes from a distance to Chang'an, and looked at Xi Zhicai and said leisurely.

Xi Zhicai is also worried about the current confusing situation.

"The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. The personnel in Chang'an City has changed drastically, and the imperial court has been delaying the issuance of the edict to pardon the soldiers of Liangzhou. ”

He thought for a moment, then added:

"However, the mind of the Hedong County Government can secretly recruit county soldiers recently, and get a glimpse of it."

Yan Xing held the hilt of the sword in his hand, standing awe-inspiring, and after listening to Xi Zhicai's analysis, he immediately said.

"The prince is upright in government, and he is proud of his achievements and is unruly, it is not that the court's pardon for the soldiers of Liangzhou has not been issued for a long time, but that the princes in the court have no intention of pardoning the soldiers of Liangzhou at all."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Not long after the good news of recovering the northeastern border of Hebei was issued, the letters begging for pardon were issued one after another, but the Chang'an Imperial Court not only failed to reward them, but even the edict of pardon was nowhere to be found.

"As for the Hedong County Government, this newcomer Wang Taishou is really a character, Jiang Gui's nature, old and strong, compared to Anyi's Wei and Fan surnames, it is more tricky, he will not send troops to attack us today, but he is accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to give me a fatal blow!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, agreeing with Yan Xing's opinion.

Wang Yi's method of dealing with the Xiliang army is undoubtedly more clever than that of Fan and Wei, if the Hedong County Government conquests the Xiliang army in the name of crusading against Dong Zhiyu's party, for the Xiliang army, which is good at field warfare, still has a great advantage in winning against the Hedong county soldiers.

However, Wang Yi's attitude was ambiguous, and while holding the troops still, he also stuck the Xiliang army's military baggage, which successfully put Yan Xing's Xiliang army in a dilemma.

If you attack Anyi, it is inevitable that there will be a dilemma of being under the city and surrounded by enemies, if you specialize in the west, the Hedong soldiers behind you can give Yan Xing's Xiliang army a knife anytime and anywhere.

If it drags on like this, the Xiliang Army, which is short of food and horses, will sooner or later not be the opponent of the soldiers of Hedong County.

Xi Zhicai saw the dilemma of the Xiliang Army, but he was not in a hurry, and he was still full of confidence in Yan Xing and his own plan.

"Having said that, since ancient times, victory and defeat, strength and weakness have no impermanence, and the difference of a thought has the opportunity to overturn. The lieutenant saw that he had already laid out the west in advance, and now I was only waiting for the good news from the east! ”
