Duan Xuanzi Zhongming, a native of Wuwei Guzang (now Wuwei, Gansu), was originally a general under Dong Zhuo's account, and Dong Zhuo ordered him to garrison Huayin. In the second year of Xingping (195), Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty returned to Luoyang from Chang'an and traveled to Huayin. Duan Xuan went out of the camp to greet and provide food and clothing for the emperor. Yang Ding, who escorted the emperor, was at odds with Duan Xuan, accusing him of colluding with Guo Yan, the two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days, and was persuaded by Liu Xie, after which Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang, Zhang Xiu sent troops to Nanyang, Yang Shuo stayed in Hongnong, Duan Xuan led the army to Zuo Fengling, Duan Xuan was diligent in cultivating agriculture when Zuo Fengling, and did not plunder the people, and the people were happy.

And one of the most famous things about Duan Xuan is a story with Jia Xu, Duan Xuan and Jia Xu are both from Guzang in Wuwei County, stationed in Huayin, and Jia Xu went to seek refuge in Duan Xuan. Jia Xu is famous and respected by Duan Xu's army, Duan Xuan is afraid that Jia Xu will seize his military power, but he is very polite to Jia Xu on the surface.

What a smart person Jia Xu was, he quickly saw Duan Xuan's hypocrisy, and his heart was very unstable, and at that time, Nanyang Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu secretly had a relationship, and Zhang Xiu knew Jia Xu's predicament and sent someone to greet him. When Jia Xu was leaving, someone asked Jia Xu: "Duan Xuan treats you so well, why do you want to leave?" Jia Xu said: "Duan Xuan is suspicious by nature, he is suspicious of me, although the treatment is good, but he cannot be relied on, he will definitely be harmed by him after a long time, and I must be very happy to leave him, and expect me to connect with foreign aid, and I will treat my family well." And Zhang Xiu lacks strategists, and he is also very willing to get me, so that I and my family can be preserved. Jia Xu arrived at Zhang Xiu's place, and Zhang Xiu was really overjoyed and "held a gift to him". And Duan Xuan knew that Jia Xu was leaving, and he really treated his family well.

Jia Xu can use Duan Xuan to avoid military disasters, but Duan Xuan is afraid of Jia Xu's talent and does not dare to reuse it, it is sad and lamentable!

Although Duan Xuan's character is not good, it is still quite okay to govern the army for officials, the people under his rule are healthy, and the military discipline is strict and lawful, which is an outlier among Dong Zhuo and other generals.

On this day, in the afternoon, Duan Xuan was resting in the camp, and the deputy general came in a hurry with a gloomy face. In the morning, he had just fought with Zhang Lu and Li Dao Guo Yan, and with the continuous supply of grain and grass in Hanzhong, Li Dao Guo Yan's Xiliang soldiers were very heroic, so that Ma Teng and others could not take advantage of it at all, and the casualties of Commander Duan Xuan's men and horses gradually increased.

It can be known that Duan Xuan's soldiers and horses are mostly Dong Zhuo's old troops, and then he successively collected some Xiliang defeated soldiers, relying on Zuo Fengling to barely pull up a team of 30,000 horses, in this chaotic era, those 30,000 horses are his talisman, and he is not far from Huangquan Road if he loses him.

Dong Zhuo was brutal and unkind when he was in power, which made the heavens angry and resentful, and when he died, he was lit by the people of Chang'an, hating the house and Wu, as Dong Zhuo's general, Duan Xuan also became the object of everyone's shouting, in order to gain a foothold in this world, in order to be able to survive, Duan Zhuo could only raise the butcher's knife to face Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, who were also Dong Zhuo's generals.

However, none of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were eliminated, but their strength was declining day by day, which made Duan Xuan sad, and he drank sullen wine when he returned to the camp after the battle in the morning.

As soon as the deputy general Xian stepped into the camp tent, a strong smell of wine came to his face, so smoked that he almost vomited, stopped at the door, and endured the feeling of nausea Yu Xian entered the camp tent, the camp was dimly lit, the weapons and armor were scattered all over the place, and a bald man was lying on the collapse in the center.

Avoiding the mess all over the ground, Yu Xian slowly came to the man and arched his hand: "Lord, Gaoling is urgent!" "Gaoling is the place where Zuo Feng Ling governs, and it is also the place where Duan Xuan's soldiers are simmered.

Duan Xuan slowly opened his worried eyes and glanced at Yu Xian, who was standing in front of the couch, and closed them again, "Something?" ”

"Lord, Gaoling urgently!" Yu Xian gave up again.

"What?" Duan Xuan was weak and weak.

"There are enemy troops coming down from Luoshui, first breaking Ya County, then Li County, and at this time it has reached the vicinity of Chongquan!"

"What?" Duan Xuan screamed and suddenly turned over, glaring and pointing at Yu Xian, "What did you say?" ”

"Gaoling came to report, there are a large number of enemy troops along the Luoshui, successively broke through Yaxian, Li County, at this moment the front has reached Chongquan, but also ask the lord to send troops back to Gaoling as soon as possible!" Yu Xian arched his hand and said.

"Hurry, hurry! Gather the soldiers and horses to return to Gaoling with me! Duan Xuan suddenly woke up, grabbed the armor scattered on the ground and draped it on his body, and instructed Yu Xian.

"It's not appropriate for the lord to be so afraid!" Seeing Duan Xuan's anxious look, Yu Xian hurriedly persuaded.

Duan Xuan rolled his eyes when he heard this, sat on the bed again, stared at Yu Xian who was standing far away, and snorted coldly, "Do you know who is in charge, how many soldiers and horses?" ”

"The letter said that the enemy army was menacing and powerful, with tens of thousands of people, but there was no banner in the army, and I don't know who did it!" Yu Xiandao.

Duan Xuan walked back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and stopped in front of Yu Xian for a moment, "In your opinion, what should we do?" ”

"The enemy army is fierce, it must be taking advantage of the lord to lead the army to plot Zuo Feng Ling outside, I intend to take this opportunity to return to Zuo Feng Ling, otherwise if I lose Zuo Feng Ling, the lord will be the rootless Ping, and sooner or later he will be swallowed by Ma Teng Hansui!" Yu Xiandao.

"Good! I will lead the troops back to Hongnong, and I want to see who has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to spread wild on my head! The old nest was about to be copied, and Duan Xuan was also in a hurry, and he waved his big hand to greet Yu Xian and was about to step out of the camp. But as soon as he walked to the door, Duan Xuan stopped again, "I'm afraid that Ma Teng Han Sui will not agree to me leaving!" Duan Xuan sighed, "Zhang Lu, Li Dao and Guo Yan have joined forces, the soldiers are strong and the food is sufficient, and Ma Teng Han Sui is not his opponent in the long run!" ”

It's really a mess, at this time, I can't save my own life and care about the life and death of others, I really don't know how this brain grows, Yu Xian muttered to himself, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Zuo Fengling is important, if Ma Teng Han doesn't allow it, it's a big deal to tear a fish and break the net!" ”

"With you here, a certain heart is at ease!" Wen Xian praised it, Duan Xuan instructed the generals around him to gather people, and took Yu Xian to the Chinese army camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng and Han Sui were sitting in danger, with several generals standing behind them, and when they heard Duan Xuan's intention, Ma Teng couldn't sit still first, "Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are in full swing, and Zhongming led the troops back at this time, but it will cause me to die?" ”

"Zhongming doesn't need to worry, after defeating Li Dao and Guo Yan, I won't be too late to recapture Zuo Fengling for Zhongming!" Han Sui twisted a wisp of goatee, his eyes flashed, and he swore an oath.

Han Sui didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he opened his mouth, the fire in Duan Xuan's chest rose slowly, these days Han Sui has been trying every way to let Duan Xuan's soldiers and horses take the lead, Duan Sui has already seen through the essence of Han Sui, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Zuo Fengling will not be able to take it back, and his soldiers and horses will be annexed by Han Sui first, and as Yu Xian said, without Zuo Fengling, he is a rootless Ping, and sooner or later he will die under Han Sui's calculations, so he has strengthened his confidence in leading his troops back to Zuo Fengling!
