Half an hour later, Jiang Xu went and returned.

"Enlightened Lord! Everything is ready to go! Jiang Xu arched his hands and said proudly.

Dong Zhuo nodded secretly, I have to say that Jiang Xu's ability is really good, it was only half an hour, Jiang Xu ordered all the soldiers and horses, and prepared dry food for three days!

"Soldiers, you are fast! Let's go! Dong Zhuo walked out of the handsome case, pressed the sword with his right hand and walked out directly, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Walking out of the gate of the Liangzhou Pastoral Mansion, I saw Dong Zhuo's mount, the Black Qilin, standing on the main street at the gate with a radiant look, extremely powerful.

Five hundred iron horsemen lined up, and the knights stood in front of them with the reins in their horses, silently waiting for orders.

Dong Zhuo except for the white tiger big coat, his whole body was black, and when he came to the left side of the black unicorn, Dong Zhuo's left foot stepped on the stirrup, his left leg exerted a slight force, his body leaned forward, his right leg flew across, and he immediately rode on the back of the horse.

When the knights saw Dong Zhuo on the horse, they all turned over and straddled the horse, since the saddle was equipped with stirrups, the soldiers could not only move on the horseback as easily as a fish in water, but even the horse was effortless.

"You don't have to send it far, if you are fast, you will be in January, and you will be back in March at the latest!"

Yan Zhong, Jia Xu and others wanted to get on the horse and send Dong Zhuo to the city gate, but Dong Zhuo directly refused, persuading everyone to go back and not to send him.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and raised his voice: "Let's go!" ”

"Drive!" Dong Zhuo shouted, waved the horsewhip with his big hand, and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, the black unicorn was in pain, and his four legs exerted force, carrying his master away.

"Driving~"

Jiang Xu and the five hundred iron horsemen spurred their horses one after another, and followed closely behind.

Dong Zhuo led the troops out of the east gate of Jicheng, followed the gallop road in front of him, and rushed straight to the east.

Five hundred horsemen galloped for most of the day, and the sun had reached the west, and it was almost dusk.

Jiang Xu, who was galloping on his horse, grabbed the saddle with his left hand, pointed forward with his right hand, and shouted to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, ten miles ahead is Longxian, if I wait to rest here tonight, otherwise after Longxian, our army will camp in the wilderness!" ”

"Good! In this case, the order will go down, set up camp in Longxian County tonight, let the soldiers rest early, and set off on the fifth watch tomorrow! ”

Dong Zhuo originally planned to continue to choose to march, but after thinking about it, he set up camp early tonight, set off early tomorrow, and by the way, it was okay to take a detour to Xu Rong's side to see the situation first, so he agreed to Jiang Xu's suggestion.

Jiang Xu passed Dong Zhuo's military order, and ordered two light horsemen to go to Longxian County to pass the order, so that the county order could be prepared in advance.

The army entered Longxian County under the warm welcome of the county order of Longxian County, and the army rested overnight, and set off again on the fifth watch of the second day.

Five hundred iron horsemen kicked up boundless dust on the galloping road, and an hour later entered the territory of Anding County.

The war horse was racing all the way, and various scenes on the road came into view.

Although it is adjacent to Hanyang-gun, Andyong-gun is obviously more than a step less prosperous than Hanyang-gun, which is a world of difference.

It was the time of the summer wheat harvest, but the people were displaced by the war, and the golden wheat fields were forgotten next to the deserted villages as if they had been neglected by their owners.

Since the winter of last year, the Qiang of Xiliang has been in turmoil, especially in the four counties of Beidi, Anding, Longxi and Jincheng, and the Han people have no choice but to abandon their fields and flee to other counties for refuge, and the Qiang people have always been not good at farming, which naturally led to a large area of wheat fields being put on hold and no one harvesting.

Faced with such a scene, Dong Zhuo could only keep urging the war horse under his crotch to let him run too fast, so maybe he wouldn't be able to see so clearly!

Dong Zhuo was galloping, Jiang Xuce caught up with his horse, and said with an eager face: "Lord! Our army's marching route is a little wrong, from here, it is the direction of Linjing, Linjing is a stable county, a place for the thief kingdom to be divided, let's go around! ”

Dong Zhuo urged the war horse and said: "No, I received a report from Xu Rong a few days ago, saying that he has captured Linjing, and we can go directly to Linjing." ”

"The Admiral understands!"

Although Jiang Xu responded to Dong Zhuo neatly, he was inevitably a little bitter in his heart, that Xu Rong was able to lead 20,000 troops and horses to capture Linjing, Dong Zhuo's army is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and he can produce many people, his cousin Yang Fu is okay, Dong Zhuo has fewer subordinates, and Yang Fu himself is talented, and he is not afraid of not having a future, but he Jiang Xu and Zhao Ang and others want to gain a firm foothold in Dong Zhuo's group army, I am afraid it is not easy.

Shaking his head, emptying all the messy thoughts in his mind, Jiang Xuce followed Dong Zhuo in front, he believed in his choice, as long as he followed Dong Zhuo with all his heart, how could he not have a future.

Five hundred iron horsemen ran wildly all the way, traveled 300 miles a day, and finally arrived at the foot of Linjing City before sunset.

Accompanied by Xu Rong, Xu Huang and Guo Yan Fan Chou, Dong Zhuo entered the meeting hall of Anding Taishou Mansion with a golden sword.

Sitting down on the main seat, Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and asked, "Gongsheng, how is the situation stable now?" ”

Xu Rong sat on Dong Zhuo's left, and when he heard Dong Zhuo ask about stability, he immediately carefully explained the process of attacking Linjing to Dong Zhuo.

Half a month ago, after Xu Rong and Xu Huang led their troops into Anding, they sent a large number of scouts to investigate the enemy.

The scouts soon came with the news that the bandit kingdom occupying Anding County had 50,000 troops in the Jingshui area, and the city of Linjing was high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, it was said that Xu Rong learned that the kingdom had 50,000 troops in Linjing, and immediately knew that it was tantamount to a fool's dream to forcibly capture Linjing City, which was governed by a county with his own 20,000 troops.

At that moment, Xu Rong and Xu Huang discussed and decided on a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Immediately, Xu Rong ordered Guo Yan to lead 5,000 troops to besiege the defenders of only 3,000 Yin Pan, the Yin Pan guards were defeated by Guo Yan, and sent troops to Linjing to ask the kingdom to send troops to rescue, and he hid in the city and waited for help.

The kingdom received a request for help from the guards of Yinpan, immediately transferred 30,000 troops, personally led the troops, and came to Yinpan with great momentum, but when the army was crossing Jingshui, it was ambushed by Xu Rong and Fan Chou, and the 30,000 army suffered heavy losses, and there was not much left.

When the kingdom broke out of the encirclement and fled back to Linjing in embarrassment, he saw a flag embroidered with the word "Xu" fluttering at the head of Linjing City, but Xu Huang took advantage of the kingdom's rescue of Yinpan and the emptiness of Linjing City, and led 5,000 iron horsemen to take Linjing.

The kingdom knew what it was planning, but it was helpless, and in a fit of anger, it had to lead thousands of remnants of the defeated army to flee to the city of Chaona.

And Xu Rong and Xu Huang continued to gather the remnants of the kingdom, and now the number of troops under his command has reached 50,000.

"Gongsheng, my white rise, Gongming, my Zhou Yafu!"

Dong Zhuo is not surprised by Xu Rong's record, Xu Rong and Xu Huang have both wisdom and bravery, and they are rare good generals. As Jia Xu said, the kingdom has small wisdom but no big strategy, and it is far from being the opponent of the two, and it will not take long for Xu Rong and Xu Huang to regain stability.

"The lord praises falsely, my brothers are ashamed!" Xu Rong and Xu Huang heard Dong Zhuo's praise and hurriedly excused themselves.

"You two don't have to be too modest, what a certain family said is also true." Dong Zhuo waved his hand, domineering, paused, Dong Zhuo said again: "When a certain family came on the road, I saw that the wheat fields were full of wheat ears, but no one cared about them, and now that you have recovered Linjing, immediately issue an edict to appease the people, so that the people who fled to other places should return to their hometowns to harvest grain as soon as possible, and do not miss the harvest time, and inform the people that all taxes this year will be exempted!" ”

"Whoa!"

Liangzhou is located in the border area, desolate and remote, plus from time to time there are Qiang people in turmoil, so there is no family living in Liangzhou, unlike Guanzhong Sili and the Central Plains, Shilin is everywhere, the gate valve is widely spread, just throw a brick, you can't say that you can hit the head of a celebrity.

However, for Dong Zhuo, this is the best, without the hindrance of the family gate, Dong Zhuo can more directly benefit the people, gather the hearts of the people, and completely control Liangzhou in his hands.

"In addition, collect all the fields that no one cares about and the abandoned fields, and send a general to lead the army to the Jingshui area."

"Tuntian?" Xu Rong asked with some puzzlement, he knew that the Western Han Dynasty often used troops to garrison the border Tuntian to open up and garrison the northwest frontier. During the time of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the minister Chao Cuo had suggested that "the people should be on the border", and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Chongguo suggested that "Tuntian" should be used for border defense, and the garrison and cultivation should be taken care of, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the post of Tuntian Captain, who was in charge of the defense and agriculture of Luntai, Dunhuang and other places in the Western Regions, but he was not sure how much Dong Zhuo said that Tuntian was related to Tuntian in the Western Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo explained simply: "The so-called tuntian is to use soldiers to reclaim wasteland, so as to obtain the grain and grass needed for the army's daily support, and when the farm is slack, soldiers can practice, and even go out to fight. ”
