Chapter 162: The Birth of Diao Chan

When he was young, one of them arrived in front of Wang Yun's mansion, but he didn't see Wang Yun's carriage. And the other one who chased to the West Lane also pounced. It's the other one, the general who chased to the East Lane, soon found Wang Yun's carriage, and looked around, there was a place called 'Drunken Immortal Residence', and he couldn't help but be surprised, only to know that this was often an old thing with a cold face, but it was actually a dignified old lewd worm, waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement for a long time, at this time, many women dressed up in the Drunken Immortal Residence were dressed up in fancy clothes and heavy makeup to come to woo. The general was afraid that Wang Yun would find out, so he was busy and turned back. provoked those amorous women to laugh again and again.

Later, after Li Xun learned about it, he came to his senses and understood why Wang Yun didn't bring his entourage, thinking that he was afraid that his reputation would be affected, so he didn't investigate again.

It's just that a few days later, a great change occurred in the palace, which made Li Yun almost frightened, and he was the first to suspect Wang Yun. It turned out that Dong Zhuo, who had enjoyed the pleasure of being above 10,000 people under one person these days, had become more and more unscrupulous, not only staying in the harem at night, but also committing adultery with concubines, and killing those who dared to disobey one by one. Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Dowager Dong were both timid about his obscenity, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, worrying and fearing all day long. At the same time, since Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui resigned and retired under Dong Zhuo's coercion, almost nine out of ten officials in the DPRK and China have thrown themselves into Dong Zhuo's faction. Among them, in order to appease the Yuan family, who had the family background of the fourth generation and the third duke, Dong Zhuo specially promoted Yuan Shu to the rear general. Of course, this is because Yuan Shu has long taken refuge in the relationship.

Dong Zhuo's attitude is clearly that those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die. As a result, the DPRK Chinese armed forces rushed to surrender. At the same time, after Dong Zhuo rewarded the generals, the soldiers who were rewarded and promoted also led troops to their orders, and the area around Xiaguanzhong was under Dong Zhuo's control.

And Dong Zhuo is like a jackal tiger that can hardly satisfy his hunger and thirst, after taking control of the power, he becomes more and more reckless, once he opens his mouth, almost all the ministers echo him, and the Son of Heaven is forced by his authority to be at his mercy. Facing down, the dignified harem is important, and the royal sleeping place of the Son of Heaven and concubines has become Dong Zhuo's back garden, and all the beautiful concubines, including the palace maids with a little appearance, have all become the objects of Dong Zhuo's desire.

In just a few days, there were dozens of concubines and palace maids in the harem who were raped by Dong Zhuo, and some of them were privately rewarded by Dong Zhuo to his meritorious soldiers.

But gradually, the general goods are no longer able to satisfy Dong Zhuo's appetite. And the stunning princess with the beauty of the country and the peerless name naturally made Dong Zhuo more and more eager for it.

That night, Dong Zhuo was very drunk, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what he promised in the court earlier, and after thinking about it, he only said that he would marry this stunning princess after the first emperor was buried, but he didn't promise not to touch her. When Dong Zhuo thought like this, he was helped by everyone to come to the Chilling Cicada Palace, and these soldiers all knew Dong Zhuo's temperament, and they all guarded outside as usual.

But not long after Dong Zhuo entered, the original lewd laughter turned into an angry scream. The Xiliang soldiers who were guarding outside were so frightened that their hearts and galls were suddenly cracked, and they hurriedly pulled out their sharp blades and rushed into the Han Cicada Palace, hacking the two palace maids to death first, and when they came to the pavilion, they saw Dong Zhuo, who was naked, holding a blood-colored dagger in his hand, pressing on a young woman whose clothes were torn, her skin was looming, and she was almost half-naked.

And when Dong Zhuo stopped, this stunning princess was already unrecognizable, and there was no sound anymore.

But said that night, Li Ru learned that Dong Zhuo was assassinated, and hurriedly entered the palace late at night to see him, and after appeasing the angry Dong Zhuo, he said that he was afraid that someone was manipulating the matter behind his back, and it was inevitable that he had just left the army in Luoyang, and the army's heart was turbulent, so it was best to hide the matter, and then secretly look for it and find out the murderer behind the scenes.

Dong Zhuo thought it was reasonable, so he urgently summoned Li Xuan, who was in charge of the palace guards, to come to see him. When Li Qi heard about this, he was so frightened that he changed color on the spot, and thought that in these days, there was nothing unusual in the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Qi quickly thought of what happened to Wang Yun a few days ago, so he was in a hurry to report it. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru heard that Wang Yun had left early and returned late that day, and they had personally ridden the horse, so they felt that there was something tricky, so they taught Li to investigate thoroughly. After receiving the order, Li urged first, so he first taught people to buy and coerce the subordinates of Wang Yun's mansion, and he learned that not long ago, Wang Yun suddenly accepted a righteous daughter, and I heard that she was still born in the merry land of drunken immortals.

After Li Xun learned about it, he hurriedly rushed to the drunken immortal residence and found the old bustard in charge of the stewardship to ask for an understanding. But he didn't know that this Drunken Immortal Residence was actually an industry that Liu Hong secretly set up outside the palace to find out the news in the past, and before Liu Hong died, he secretly handed over the Drunken Immortal Residence to Wang Yun. In other words, the old bustard is obeying Wang Yun's orders now, and Wang Yun has already explained, so he told Li Xuan that Wang Yun's righteous daughter is indeed from the Drunken Immortal Residence. It also shows that this daughter is poor in the family, and her father sold her to Zuixianju not long ago. Therefore the female chief has an extraordinary color, and she is specially left behind, to be used to entertain the lord who can afford it. On that day, Wang Yun came over and fell in love with her at first sight, so he paid the ransom money for her. Li Xun listened carefully several times before and after, but he couldn't hear any clues, so he had to give up first.

Later, Wang Yun didn't know where to learn about the news, knowing that Li Xun was secretly investigating, and he was busy with Dong Zhuo, crying and kneeling, shouting that he was wronged, and only said that he had no dissent. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru saw that Wang Yun's expression was genuine, and it didn't seem to be fake. Dong Zhuo was appeased. Wang Yunsui asked why, and Li Rucai told Dong Zhuo about his assassination not long ago. Wang Yunzi was shocked, cried again, hurriedly said that he was not guilty, and hurriedly cleared up. Dong Zhuo also learned about Li Xun's report earlier, and when he saw Wang Yun like this, he believed it.

Therefore, it was inevitable that the dynasty would be in turmoil, and under Dong Zhuo's deliberate concealment and strict orders, no one ever mentioned the stunning princess again. Later, Liu Xie and Empress Dowager Dong learned the cause of the death of the stunning princess under Dong Zhuo's questioning, and they were shocked and frightened. In order to calm things down, Liu Xie agreed to Li Ru's request to remove the name of this stunning princess from the family tree, which made it impossible for historians to record it, so that the world gradually forgot it.

But in Wang Yun's family, there is a mysterious righteous daughter named 'Diao Chan'.

said that it was when Liu Xueyu encountered the most tragic turning point in her life. Ma Zongheng has also reached the most important turning point in his life. At this time, Dong Zhuo has already announced the world, and as soon as the news came out, Ma Zongheng changed from a well-known young hero to a traitor and lackey scolded by thousands of people in the world. By his Ma Zongheng not only took refuge in the foreign relatives and rebelled against the party, but even killed the Bingzhou assassin Shi Ding Yuan, who was respected by the people of the world, and the people from the state hated him even more, and they all said that they would kill Ma Zongheng and avenge Ding Yuan.

And although Ma Zongheng was wronged, he was not confused or desperate because of this, or more appropriately, he had no extra time to feel confused and desperate!

It is said that Ma Zongheng came to the village on the border of Yanzhou that day, exterminated a wave of black mountain thieves, and was finally able to rest. In the next few days, under the guidance of the villagers, Ma Zongheng divided his team into three teams, and he, Zhang Liao, and Pang De each led a team of men and horses, only brought cavalry, and went to annihilate the Black Mountain thieves in this area.

It is said that among the soldiers who defected with Ma Zongheng at the beginning, because the cavalry team was directly under Ma Zongheng, almost all of them left with Ma Zongheng, and the number was about 700 or 800 people. plus nearly 200 cavalry under Zhang Liao, the total number is nearly 1,000. Ma Zongheng gave Zhang Liao another 100 cavalry, and taught Zhang Liao about the 'guerrilla' of later generations, and the three of them each led hundreds of cavalry to start a guerrilla war with the Black Mountain bandits.

At the beginning, Zhang Liao and his subordinates were not familiar with the profound truth of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed and disturbing us, the enemy tired and I fighting, and the enemy retreating and chasing after me. Once, Zhang Liao and his subordinates rose up because of the killing, rashly pursued, and went deep into the hinterland of the thieves, because they were not familiar with the terrain, they could only fight desperately. Zhang Liao was brave and abnormal, and successfully killed the thief leader, and the danger was saved. But this time, hundreds of soldiers were lost. On the contrary, the two teams of Ma Zongheng and Pang De annihilated the strongholds of nearly seven or eight Black Mountain thieves for several days, and got a lot of money and horses from the thieves, as well as a lot of baggage, which also solved everyone's urgent need. Ma Zongheng saw that the villagers were miserable, so he left only half of the grain, and the rest of the grain was distributed to the villagers.

And the most terrifying thing is that the two teams of Ma Zongheng and Pang De have broken through nearly 2,000 thieves (among the thieves defeated by Ma Zongheng and Pang De, many of them are bandits in the name of Montenegrin thieves, and some peripheral soldiers who are not yet considered to be in the stream, and they are not officially Montenegrin thieves) There are only dozens of casualties, and what is even more terrifying is that Ma Zongheng's team has not lost a single one.

Zhang Liao and his subordinates are no different, and they are shocked. However, Zhang Liao is not a good-faced person, first asked Ma Zongheng for guilt, and then humbly asked for advice. Ma Zongheng listened to it and did not blame him, so he taught Zhang Liao to fight with him for a day to see if there was any gain. Zhang Liao was overjoyed, so he thanked him.

Early in the morning, the horse led hundreds of horsemen from his army to the bottom of a mountain pass. It is said that the border area of Yanzhou is mostly a land of mountains and forests, which is very easy to hide, so there are many bandits in ancient and modern times. And because in these days, there have been more than a dozen groups of thieves large and small who have been annihilated by Ma Zongheng's command, and the notoriety of their army has spread far and wide.

And the horse came down to this mountain pass, after these days of exploration, and from the mouth of the captured thief, there is a cottage on this mountain, which is full of regular black mountain thieves, the number of more than 2,000 people, the head of the thief is named Zhang Mang, it is rumored that he was a member of the Yellow Turban Army, quite powerful. He sits in this mountain, and all the thieves in this area must listen to his call, and those who dare not obey will be destroyed. Both the people and the bandits were terribly afraid of him.

And after Zhang Mang learned about the existence of Ma Zongheng's officers and soldiers, he couldn't help but wonder who the government sent the soldiers and horses, and the current situation was chaotic, and the princes everywhere were secretly protecting the troops, so the more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and he taught people to investigate. For several days, this army of officers and soldiers smashed many of his strongholds one after another. Zhang Mang heard that the leading generals of these officers and soldiers were extremely brave, and hurriedly gathered the thieves in the surrounding area in the village, and at this time Zhang Mang gathered thousands of troops.

In order to make Zhang Liao more aware of the subtlety of guerrilla tactics, Ma Zongheng first explained Zhang Mang's situation. When Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "The thief's strength is nearly ten times that of our army, and it occupies the cottage, how can it be broken?" ”
