Chapter Twenty-Six: The Capture of the Army

The jade rabbit fell to the west, and the golden crow rose to the east.

Dawn has just passed, and the spring sun has just risen over the horizon. The firstborn light shone through the mist and shone on the crystal dewdrops, sparkling.

A troop galloped at high speed on the vast 800-mile Qinchuan River, overthrowing the banner and looking like it could not be defeated.

The gray-haired old general, one of the leaders of the "Stop", suddenly raised his right hand and ordered the army to stop advancing. The march of the army suddenly stopped, and the troops behind saw that the front army had stopped, and they also stopped in a daze. This army is really like a flock of sheep, as long as the leader stops, the flock behind will stop no matter what happens in front of them.

Looking at the vast mountains in front of him, the old general couldn't help but turn his head and ask the deputy general beside him, "What is this place?" ”

The adjutant general was also at a loss, and said: "Back to General Huangfu, our army has been in a hurry for a long time, and it has long been lost. The last general doesn't know where this is. The old general dismounted and rested, and the last general went to investigate. ”

"It's okay, you go and come back quickly. The old man led the army to rest here. "This old general is the chariot general Huangfu Song who defeated Chen Cang the day before yesterday.

At this time, Huangfu Song was quite miserable, his helmet had long been gone, his white hair was scattered, his face was bloodstained, and his battle robe was torn. No longer the old and strong when he was in Meiyang, the heroic posture of the dragon spirit and the tiger, the emperor at this time looked like a hero in the twilight and drooping and old.

After the lieutenant rode away, Huangfu Song rolled the saddle and dismounted, found a stone and sat down on the spot. Looking at the vast mountains in front of him in a quiet daze, he looked preoccupied.

…………

Right Fufeng, Meiyang County.

Dong Zhuo stood on top of the West Gate Tower, looking at Pingchuan that disappeared on the horizon in front of him, Dong Zhuo took a deep breath.

This is the 800-mile Qinchuan, the place where the Qin people rose. In the future, this will become the foundation of Lao Tzu, and a certain Dong Zhuo will also rise here, creating a more glorious country than Daqin.

"Lord~"

"Lord, you are here, let me wait for a while to find it!"

Li Ru and Wei Qi found this place and complained.

"Is there a whereabouts of General Huangfu?"

Dong Zhuo didn't ask the two of them about their intentions, and he didn't turn around, and he asked without looking back.

Wei Qi said: "Lord Qiqi, the young general has not returned, and the scouts sent out have not yet found any trace of General Huangfu. ”

Dong Zhuo snorted, then slowly turned around, stared at the two people in front of him, and asked, "The two of you came together, what is the matter?" ”

Li Ru said: "Lord Qiqi, according to the report from the spies, the leaders of the thief army, Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou, are going to Yixian to increase their troops. It looks like they're planning to attack Miyang. ”

Dong Zhuo didn't seem to be in a hurry, and asked rhetorically, "Have you found the grain transport troops of the thief army?" ”

Li Ru and Wei Qi couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this. The grain and grass in Yixian County have long been emptied by them in advance, and it can be said that the reason why Huangfu Song was defeated so quickly is inseparable from this. However, the defeat of Huangfu and the loss of Yixian County were originally part of Dong Zhuo's plan.

At that moment, Li Ru said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." There are not many grains and herbs in Yixian, so they naturally have to transport grain and grass to Yixian. According to the scout's report, Han Sui asked his son-in-law Yan Xing to personally escort the grain and grass. ”

Dong Zhuo scolded when he heard this: "Han Sui, this old fox! ”

Yan Xing, this person, Dong Zhuo, knows. This person is the Jincheng clan, Han Sui's son-in-law. The well-documented record in history is that he almost killed Ma Chao when he was a teenager.

"The war is about to start, I don't know what Wenzheng and Bo Ji have to discuss?"

Wei Qi said: "The thief army is large, the soldiers are large, and the strength of our army is scattered, if the enemy soldiers come to the city to fight hard, it is very unwise." In my opinion, our army should take the lead at this time. If Yixian can be captured, the three cities will be horns of each other, and they will definitely be able to defend to the death. ”

Li Ru shook his head and said: "Brother Bo Jiao, this is not appropriate, our army does not have many troops, if we capture Yixian and lose too many troops, our army will be even worse." Lord, Confucianism thinks that we should cut off their grain and grass at this time, which is the best policy. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Wen Zheng's words are not bad. Ordered Dong Huang to stop looking for Huangfu Song and return to the army. Huangfu Song's army had no food and grass, so he could only return to Meiyang City. In addition, let Huaxiong order all the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and stand by at the east gate. ”

"Woo woo~~"

At that moment, a rumbling horn sounded.

Dong Zhuo turned his majestic body violently, and as far as he could see, the endless Pingchuan raised a cloud of smoke and dust on the horizon.

"Lord Qiqi, we found that there is a force in the direction of Yixian County in the distance that is coming towards the West Gate."

A sentry ran up behind Dong Zhuo, knelt on one knee, and reported.

Dong Zhuo raised his hand and motioned for the sentry to stand down. stared intently at the flat river in front of him, without saying anything.

Wei Qi stepped forward and guessed: "Lord, could it be that Han Sui's army has no food and grass and can't hold on, so I came here to fight Meiyang as soon as possible." ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head slowly, and said: "It's unlikely, Han Sui has always been cautious, and the thief army only took Yi County yesterday, and he will not rush to send troops before he completely controls Yi County." ”

At this time, Li Ru said: "My lord, according to Confucianism, the person who came should be Bao Hong, who is on the right side of the wind." He lost Yixian this time, and he could only flee to my Meiyang. ”

Dong Zhuo still looked at the smoke and dust in front of him, and didn't make a sound, just nodded.

"Rumble ~~"

The earth beneath the city seemed to tremble, as if there were thousands of horses and thousands of armies galloping.

Gradually, there were few figures on the horizon, and some scattered flags could be seen.

In the distance, Dong Zhuo saw a horse rushing towards him, and he had already arrived under the city gate.

The guards of the city gate shouted on the city wall and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

The person who came was a young general with a shiny and pink face, fresh clothes and angry horses, bright armor, and no sign of defeat. Boasting proudly under the city. "I am Sima Bao Xing under the command of Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, and General Bao is going to lead a large army into the city to rest. You don't hurry up and open the city gate to welcome General Bao into the city. ”

"A dying man, so imposing." Dong Zhuo frowned and laughed angrily. With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

When the soldiers on the city wall heard Dong Zhuo's order, they all stretched out their bows and arrows. Before Bao Xing could react, he was shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "Self-inflicted, you can't live." ”

Bao Hong led more than 3,000 remnants of the army to the city and watched the tragic death of a man and a horse in front of the city gate. Filled with grief and anger, he roared at Dong Zhuo in the city: "Dong Zhuo Pifu, I am an official in the same dynasty as you, and I have no grievances, why did you shoot my son?" ”

Dong Zhuo immediately drank: "As a Han minister, you eat Junlu, and you don't think about dying on the battlefield for Your Majesty." On the contrary, he lost his teacher and land, and took refuge in the thieves, but now he wants to deceive my city, which is really hateful. ”

After finishing speaking, the bow and arrow handed over by the soldier next to him, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and an arrow shot through Bao Hong's heart guard, and died under the horse.

At the moment, he shouted at the 3,000 defeated troops under the city: "Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, betrayed the court and defected to the thieves, and has been killed by a certain family." You are all subjects of the Han Dynasty, and you eat the salary of the Han army, do you want to rebel against the thieves from now on? ”
