Yan Zhong wanted to serve Dong Zhuo, which made Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Zhao Ang and others all stunned, they didn't expect Yan Zhong to express his allegiance to Dong Zhuo as soon as he came up.

Yan Zhong is the most famous celebrity in Xiliang, in the opinion of Yang Fu and Jiang Xu, Yan Zhong should not follow Dong Zhuo so hastily first, how to investigate it for a while!

They knew very well that Yan Zhong was not the kind of person who coveted power, so naturally he would not bend his waist because of Dong Zhuo's high-ranking official Houlu's promise, and even just now it was obvious that Dong Zhuo had not yet promised Yan Zhong any official position, and Yan Zhong had already expressed his allegiance to Dong Zhuo.

Yan Zhong's behavior seemed a little abrupt, but it was actually reasonable. Yan Zhong has always moved Xiliang with his discerning talents, and at this moment he did not hesitate to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, which can only show that in Yan Zhong's opinion, Dong Zhuo will be a person who can achieve great things and is worthy of his assistance.

Chinese have admired the celebrity effect since ancient times, like to learn the words and deeds of celebrities, although there have been jokes such as Dongshi Xiaofeng and Handan toddler, but still enjoy the other, although Yang Fu Jiang Xu and others are also young talents, but they can not avoid this subtle influence since childhood.

At this moment, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu and the others glanced at each other, each nodded, and in an instant, their will to follow Dong Zhuo became even firmer.

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood at this time, he didn't expect Jia Xu to come without a word, so he and Wei Qian invited Yan Zhong to him, he originally planned to choose a good day and an auspicious day, and took Jia Xu and Wei Qian to visit in person, and invited Yan Zhong out of the mountain, but he didn't expect the other party to send it to the door himself, and he was really a little overjoyed.

Yan Zhong is the most famous celebrity in Xiliang, just like a pole of the Chinese army, has a very large appeal, now Yan Zhong is loyal to Dong Zhuo, since then, there is no need for Dong Zhuo to go around to find the Magi, there will also be a self-considered talented scholar to send to the door.

…………

Meanwhile, Northland County.

The 20,000-strong army of Huaxiong and Gao Shun marched all the way for nearly a month, and finally approached the city of Niyang.

"Childish, are you sure this is your hometown?"

Looking at the ruined city in front of him, Hua Xiong turned his head in surprise, looked at Li Dao beside him, and asked uncertainly.

When Li Wei heard this, he swore and said: "General Hui, the last general is a native of Niyang in the north, how can he even admit his own homeland, the general has no doubt, but there is no doubt that this place is Niyang!" ”

Hua Xiong got Li Dao's affirmative answer, turned his head, looked at the still dilapidated city wall in front of him, and stopped talking, he still didn't believe it, he had followed Dong Zhuo to the south and fought in the north for more than ten years, and he had never seen such a dilapidated city.

Gao Shun on the right side of Huaxiong also twitched the corners of his mouth, not quite convinced.

The city in front of him is overgrown with wild grass, enough to bury the shorter soldiers in it, the city wall is dilapidated, there are gaps of different sizes everywhere, and even the not tall city gate has a hole the size of a manhole cover, there is no flag on the city, and there is no figure standing guard, if it is not for the smoke in the city, Gao Shun thinks that this is an ancient city ruins that have been abandoned for hundreds of years.

Seeing the expressions of Huaxiong Gao Shun and even Zhang Ji, Li Wei knew that these people still didn't believe their words.

In desperation, Li Wei explained with a wry smile: "The two generals don't know, Beidi County has always had Qiang people rampant, Shun Emperor Yonghe four years, first zero Qiang rebellion, when the general Ma Xian was defeated and killed, Beidi once fell, occupied by the Qiang people, so far it has reached forty-five years, even the Beidi County Taishou fled, and moved the governance office from Beidi Fuping South to Zuo Fengyi, and the Qiang people are not good at governing government affairs, Beidi County is chaotic and withered, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is thousands of miles of barrenness, now, the entire Beidi County is only left Fuping, Lingzhou, Niyang, The six cities of Yiju, Lianxian and Pengyang, and the rest of the cities have long been deserted. ”

Li Daodi's words came into everyone's ears, and they couldn't help but make everyone's hearts burn with anger and hatred.

At this moment, everyone has only hatred in their hearts, hating the wanton plundering of Xian Lingqiang, and even more hating the incompetence of the Han court.

The dignified Beidi Taishou, lost his own land, and fled to the people's house Zuo Fengyi to work, what kind of system is this, just like a head of a family, driven out of the house by his wife and children, and then ran to the neighbor's house, but claimed to be the remote control command of his own family, isn't this a joke, it's just a big joke in the world.

"Drum Siege~"

Hua Xiong roared sharply, and after listening to Li Daodi's explanation, he exploded with great anger, and at this moment, only killing could calm his anger.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

"Kill ......"

The drums of war sounded, accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, and the 20,000-strong army rushed towards the dilapidated Niyang City like a torrent that broke the embankment.

Hua Xiong took the lead, carrying a big knife and running directly to the city gate.

Niyang City has no moat, and there are no guards on the city, and the army of 20,000 is ...... without hindrance No, it should be 20,000 troops who broke through the layers of barren grass guards outside the city, rushed to the city wall, set up a ladder and climbed up.

Hua Xiong rushed to the city gate, and slashed at the few remaining gates where the vermilion paint had fallen.

"Bell~"

I have to praise the work ethics of the ancients is good, it looks tattered, as if the gate that will collapse with an axe goes down, actually blocked Huaxiong's thunderous blow, leaving only a deep knife mark, still immovable, if it is replaced by the gate of later generations, it is estimated that Huaxiong can split three with a knife.

"Siege Vehicle~"

Seeing that he didn't split the gate with a knife, Hua Xiong no longer wasted his strength, and directly roared, calling the second battalion commander to pull out the "Italian artillery".

TND, don't think that you can keep a safe distance from Xiongye if your hungry and thirsty broadsword doesn't work, Xiongye still has an "Italian cannon".

A group of soldiers will swing their swords to cut off the grass in front of the city gate, and push the siege vehicle under the city gate with difficulty, and then more than a dozen people will work together to push the log to hit the city gate violently.

"Boom ......"

After more than a dozen violent impacts from the battering ram, the dilapidated gate collapsed.

"Kill~"

Hua Xiong's broadsword was already hungry and thirsty at this time, and the long knife was directed, and the army poured into the city like a fish.

Entering the city, Hua Xiong ordered Gao Shun and Li Dao to lead troops to quickly occupy Simen, while he and Zhang Ji led troops to clear the Qiang people in the city.

"Remember, it is not allowed to kill women, children, old and young, this is the order of the lord's army, and those who violate the order will not be killed!"

"Yes~"

Once again, the matter of principle was emphasized, and Hua Xiong led a group of men and horses along the main street to kill them.

Not allowing the killing of women and children is an important policy that Dong Zhuo has always implemented in the army, and this is related to the reputation of Dong Zhuo and the entire Dong Zhuo group army, and it is also a matter of human nature.

Qiang people emerged in the city one after another, but as soon as they emerged, they were attacked by the Huaxiong army.

In fact, as early as when Huaxiong ordered the drums to attack the city, the earth-shaking drums alarmed the Qiang people in the city, but they all gathered in the area in the center of the city, and it was lunch time at this time.

Qiang, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei and Di, these northern nomadic peoples are all soldiers, basically all adult men are warriors, but they are not regular troops, except for a small number of standing soldiers under the leader's command, the rest of the warriors are usually herding, during the war, under the call of the chief, pick up their own weapons, step on the war horse to become a warrior.

This is also an important reason why Hua Xiong attacked Niyang City at this time without soldiers to defend the city, in addition, Xian Lingqiang has occupied Beidi County for decades, and there has been no Han Dynasty official army to recover the lost territory, at first the Qiang people may be more vigilant, ordering soldiers to defend the city, but now decades later, the only trace of vigilance has long been wiped out, these Qiang people even think that the Han court has given up this Beidi County, so that Beidi is their first Lingqiang's own territory, Who will be on guard on their own turf?

Hua Xiong led a group of iron horses to gallop down the main street of the city, and was confronted by the leader of the Xianlingqiang tribe who had hurriedly summoned some people to fight.

When the two armies met, the leader of the Qiang people reined in his horse, raised his hand to stop the clansmen behind him, and shouted in the etiquette of the Han people: "I am the leader of the Lingqiang Niyang tribe, Li Hammer!" Who is it, and why is it that you have invaded my city for no reason? If you don't get off your horse and die quickly, this leader will spare your life, otherwise you will be taken in an instant! ”
