Because he had to deal with the affairs of Chang'an, Liu Wei dismissed his plan to go north to Yanmen to personally participate in the war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The lesser of two evils, the threat of Liu Xie in Guanzhong is far greater than that of Ran Min. Ran Min has no identity, and no matter what, he is just alone. And if Liu Xie is allowed to control the overall situation in Guanzhong, he also has the identity of the Son of Heaven, and in the hearts of the people in the world, half of them recognize him.

What's more, Liu Wei offended the family, because of Dong Zhuo, the Guanzhong family did not come forward to help him, if Dong Zhuo died, all the families would definitely do their best to help Liu Xie. With the energy of the Guanzhong family, it can definitely support enough strength to confront Liu Wei. And to the west of Chang'an is Xiliang, once Liu Xie takes control, Ma Teng may also fall into Liu Xie's arms.

Liu Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, Ran Min must also hate himself in the Han Dynasty at this time. If I had done my best to help him during the war, or even personally solicited him, I would have been able to accept him.

It's a pity that the two incidents of Chang'an and Hetao broke out at the same time, and Liu Wei, as the person in power, can't be rash. You can only choose to deal with the matter of raiding Chang'an.

"It's a pity that I am the emperor, and I have too much helplessness, so I can't go to the Hetao and kill Hu with Ran Min!" Liu Wei sighed in his heart and made two orders, one of which was to let the killing order circulate, hoping that more princes would send troops to help Ran Min. The second is to let Li Xianzhong, Yang Jiye and other subordinates who are guarding the state be ready to support Ran Min at any time.

Liu Wei couldn't go in person, and he also gave the most admired hero in his previous life the greatest help.

Liu Wei's order has been given, and the ministers have no choice but to surrender their orders. After a while, Wei Xiaokuan walked in with a bag in his hand.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Wei Xiaokuan took out the bag and handed the letter that had been notified to Li Xianzhong to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei opened the envelope and compared it, and sure enough, the handwriting was exactly the same, Liu Wei held his palm and smiled: "This Wang Meng is really the one who saved Luoyang from the fire in the first place!" "If it weren't for Wang Meng's letter, which allowed Li Xianzhong to lead his troops into Luoyang, I'm afraid Luoyang would have become a ruin, and millions of people would have moved west to Chang'an.

The ministers also took the two letters handed by Liu Wei, and the handwriting was indeed exactly the same.

"Your Majesty, this Wang Meng previously helped General Li Xianzhong capture Luoyang and saved millions of people in Luoyang. Now it seems that this letter is 80% credible! Xun Yu said.

Regardless of the authenticity of this letter, the killing of Dong Zhuo mentioned in the letter must be true. No matter what, you can't sit back and watch the rise of King Chen Liu, whether it is a plan or not, this battle must be fought! Wei Xiaokuan also said.

"Your Majesty, the minister Cao Cao is willing to lead the troops to fight the thief!"

"Yang Zaixing is willing to be a pioneer!"

"Minister Zhao Yun please fight!"

The generals under Liu Wei went out one by one to ask for battle, and their fighting spirit was high.

Liu Wei looked around, and now the generals in Luoyang are Cao Cao, Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi, Yang Miaozhen, Zhao Yun, and Gao Changgong. The rest of Xu Huang guarded the Tiger Pass, and Hao Zhao guarded the Bishui Pass. Lin Chong and Lin Renzhao are in Qingzhou, Di Qing Lejin is in Youzhou, Xiahou Brothers, Li Xianzhong, and Yang Jiye are guarding in Bingzhou.

Liu Wei pressed his hand, motioned for the generals to stop, and asked Lu Zhi, "Captain Lu, how many soldiers and horses are there in Luoyang now?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are now 80,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, including 30,000 soldiers and horses brought by His Majesty from Bingzhou and left by Liu Yuzhou, in addition to the four forbidden armies in the southeast and northwest that were newly formed last year, a total of 20,000 people, the Royal Forest Army, the Yulin Army a total of 20,000 people, and the 10,000 cavalry trained by General Gao Su, and the 3,000 white horse righteous servants trained by General Zhao Yun." Lu Zhi told all the troops in Luoyang one by one.

"80,000 soldiers and horses~" Liu Wei pondered for a while and then got up and said: "Cao Cao, I appointed you as the commander of the Western Expedition, leading 43,000 troops, except for the Forbidden Army, the Royal Forest Army, and the Yulin Army, all of them will follow you to the west!" ”

"Zhao Yun, Gao Changgong, Yang Zaixing listens to orders!"

"The last general!" The three of them came out of the ranks.

"Order the three of you to follow Cao Mengde to the west and listen to orders under Cao Cao's account!" Liu Wei ordered.

"The last general will obey the order!" The three of them gave up their orders to the army.

The rest of Yang Zaixing, Yang Yansi and others all looked at Liu Bi, hoping to go out together. Liu Wei didn't squint, and continued to order: "Xun Yu, Tian Feng ordered the two of you to be the left and right military advisors and give advice on the matter of the Western Expedition!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Only then did Liu Wei look at Yang Zaixing and the others: "Wait for Guanzhong to be calmed down." I'm going to Guanzhong, and you'll be going to Guanzhong with me then! ”

Yang Zaixing and others were unhappy, so they had to give it up.

"Well, it's mid-February, and it's very urgent to get to the third day of March. It's late at night today, go back and rest, and start preparing for the westward expedition tomorrow! Liu Wei waved his hand and said.

"Wait for the resignation!" The civil and military officials left the Houde Palace, and Liu Wei also went back to the dormitory to rest.

Chang'an, the palace.

Lu Bu Diao Chan and his wife were newly married Yan'er and returned to the palace to save their relatives. Wang Yun and Lu Bu were drinking in the palace and had a good conversation, and Wang Meng came to the backyard to see Diao Chan.

The brother and sister exchanged pleasantries, the two sat down, Wang Meng looked at Diao Chan and asked, "Little sister, you follow Wen Hou, Wen Hou treats you well?" ”

Diao Chan nodded shyly: "My husband treats me very well." ”

"Then do you think like Wen Hou is a hero?" Wang Meng continued to ask.

"Heroes? Fujun's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, Fang Tian draws a halberd in his hand, and a red rabbit BMW under his crotch, he should be regarded as a hero, right? Diao Chan stared at him suspiciously, only thinking that his man was a hero unparalleled in the world.

"Wen Hou's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, with a halberd in his hand, a red rabbit and a BMW under his crotch, and his battle power is invincible. But heroes? Hehe! Wang Meng changed his words and sneered.

"Brother, isn't he a hero?" Diao Chan wondered.

"Heroes? Do you know what outsiders call Wen Hou? ”

"What do you call it?"

"Except for the army under the command of the prime minister, the rest of the people call Wen Hou a slave with three surnames." Wang Meng shook his head and sighed.

"Three domestic slaves? The surname Lu, the surname Wang, the surname Dong, do outsiders really say that? Diao Chan is also a smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of the three family slaves, biting his lip, and he didn't know what to think in his heart.

"Heroes are not in martial arts, not in strategy, but in loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith. Wen Hou betrayed his father-in-law Ding Yuan, but he was disloyal, unfilial and unjust! It is rude to kill one's father, it is unwise to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, and it is untrustworthy not to lead the state army to make meritorious contributions and glorify one's ancestors. ”

"Hero, Wen Hou can't be called a hero yet!" Wang Meng sneered.

"No, it won't, Wen Hou treats me so well, how could he do that kind of thing." Diao Chan wept sadly, and tears flowed down as she spoke, wetting her beautiful face.

"Little sister, don't be sad, now there is a chance to make Wen Hou a hero!" Wang Meng looked at Diao Chan, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he couldn't help but say softly.

"What's the solution?" Diao Chan cried with joy.

"Dong Zhuo is a traitor, holding His Majesty hostage, controlling the government, the land of Chang'an, the people are panicked, and the people are not happy. Now that the civil and military officials have already killed Dong Zhuo and let His Majesty pro-government! Now under Dong Zhuo's command, the army has been scattered, only because of Wen Hou, Wen Hou is kind in nature and simple-minded, whoever is good to him, he will listen to whom. Ding Yuan treated him badly, so Wen Hou killed him. ”

Dong Zhuo took a fancy to Wen Hou and used Wen Hou to do so many bad things. Dong Zhuo deserves to die, but Wenhou was used by Dong Zhuo. Uncle means that if Wen Hou can come to his senses, help the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and kill Dong Zhuo, he can atone for his crimes! Wang Meng said to Diao Chan.

"Brother, I understand, do you want your little sister to wake up your husband? But if he kills Dong Zhuo, won't he fall into the land of disloyalty and filial piety again? Diao Chan said tangled.

"Wen Hou killed Dong Zhuo, not only will no one condemn him, but he will know his mistakes and correct his mistakes, and everyone will praise him when the time comes, and when His Majesty is in power, let him fight in the south and the north, that is a great hero!" Wang Meng stretched out his thumb and praised.

Diao Chan's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and he nodded again and again: "What the eldest brother said is that after I go back, I will persuade my husband to kill Dong Thief, atone for his crimes, and be a hero!" ”

"Well, little sister, the safety of the country depends on you!" Wang Meng saluted to Diao Chan. At the same time, he felt deeply guilty about using this poor man, but Wang Meng also comforted himself that it was better for the little sister to follow Lu Bu than to be defiled by Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu Diao Chan returned to Wenhou Mansion, Diao Chan got off the carriage, Lu Bu saw Diao Chan's ruddy eyes, and couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Concubine Ai, who bullied you?" ”

Diao Chan ignored Lu Bu and went straight back to the boudoir, and Lu Bu hurriedly chased after him.

Diao Chan turned his back to Lu Bu to comb his makeup, Lu Bu saw that the beautiful face in the bronze mirror was full of tears, his heart ached, and he stepped forward and asked, "Diao Chan, what's wrong with you?" But what grievances have I suffered? ”

Diao Chan turned his head and stared at Lu Bu: "Do you remember what you said when you saved my life?" What did I say? ”

"You said that the person you want to marry must be a great hero admired by everyone in the world." Lu Bu hurriedly said.

"You said that you have a halberd in your hand, a red rabbit and a BMW under your crotch, you are invincible in the world, and you are a hero admired by everyone in the world. Do you know what people say about you? Say you're a house slave with three surnames! Diao Chan's lips were bitten, blood oozed out, and Lu Bu was distressed when he saw it.

"Who did you listen to?" Lu Bu said with a wide range of eyes.

"It's true, I'd rather you hadn't saved me that day!" Diao Chan saw Lu Bu's appearance, why didn't he believe Wang Meng's words? The man he loves in his heart, the invincible hero in his heart, in the eyes of others, is actually an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person.

Lu Bu suddenly panicked, although Lu Bu's character is not very good, but as a husband, father, the head of the family is really good and has nothing to say.

"Aiji, listen to my explanation, I was in Bingzhou at the beginning, and I made many military exploits, but that Ding Yuan asked me to be the master bookkeeper, and I was really helpless to kill him!" Lu Bu said with a face full of grievances.

"What about Dong Zhuo? How do you explain that? Why did you take refuge in him again? ”

"My father-in-law treats me well, with fine clothes and food, and there is no shortage of high-ranking officials." Lu Bu argued.

"You killed the person who was really good to you, and you really used the person who used you, but you regarded him as your own father!" Diao Chan said with heartache: "Do you know what you did with Dong Zhuo?" ”

"I just helped him deal with Liu Wei, and I never did anything to be sorry for others!" Lu Bu said indifferently.

"Then do you know, what did Dong Zhuo do with you? You go out to see, the people of Chang'an, the people are not happy, it is all the result of your help Dong Zhuo to help the abuse. You told me that you practiced martial arts in order to prevent the people in the village from being bullied by other races, but now? What is the difference between what you do and that of a different race? Diao Chan cried.

Lu Bu was suddenly indifferent, silent, the expression in his eyes changed, and he didn't know what he was trying to write. What Dong Zhuo did, how Lu Bu didn't know, but what was in front of him was given by Dong Zhuo, and all Lu Bu could do was to restrain his subordinates and not get involved.

"Husband, I want you to be a hero, a great hero who stands up to the sky and the earth and is admired by all people."

In Lu Bu's ears, a whisper of Diao Chan sounded, and Lu Bu's face was full of bitterness: "Diao Chan, I'...... There's no going back. ”

"The eldest brother told me that my father-in-law and the civil and military officials are planning to kill Dong Zhuo, and I hope you can help him!" Diao Chan conveyed Wang Meng's meaning to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was stunned, looked into Diao Chan's eyes and said, "How can this be?" Father-in-law, he is killing himself, with his strength, how could he kill Dong Zhuo? ”

"My brother told me, this is your chance to turn back, everything is planned by him, and everything is foolproof. I also hope that you will be heroes and live up to the oath you made that day! Diao Chan looked at Lu Bu's eyes, his eyes full of expectation.

Lu Bu closed his eyes and pondered, and after a long time, he exhaled deeply and said: "Okay, I promise you, my husband will definitely be a big hero, and I won't let the world look down on me!" ”

"Husband!" Diao Chan cried with joy, cheered, and threw herself into Lu Bu's arms.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and it is the end of February.

Northern Xinjiang, the land of Hetao, Shuofang County, Linrong City.

Linrong is the seat of Shuofang County, and now it has become the base camp of the beggar army.

After a year of development, Ran Min's beggar army continued to grow and develop, rescuing Han slaves from all over the country in the early stage and developing its own strength.

After a year of killing, the begging army under the command of Ran Min can be said to be killing aliens every day, and the Qiang forces in Dingxiangshuofang and other places were slaughtered by the beggar army, killing tens of thousands of aliens and rescuing more than 100,000 Han slaves.

Although most of the Han slaves were young and strong, they had been ravaged by foreign races for too long, and many were infected with diseases, so Ran Min had to select 10,000 of them who were physically strong and healthy to join the beggar army. And others, under the management of Guo Wei, also became the masters of the Hetao again and lived in this rich land.

Ran Min's beggar army became the protector of the Han people in the land of Hetao.

Ran Min eliminated the Qiang people, one of the three major forces in the Hetao, and the Han slaves under the Xiongnu also effectively imitated Ran Min, intending to rebel, and some fled, but they were all suppressed by the Xiongnu.

Yu Fuluo, the leader of the Xiongnu, finally realized that if Ran Min was not eradicated, I am afraid that the Hetao would have no place for foreign races. So the Xiongnu once again united with the Xianbei tribe in the land of Hetao and jointly attacked Ran Min's beggar army.

Although there are only 10,000 beggar troops, but the alien race that killed is frightened, Yu Fuluo does not dare to be careless, and now he is under his command, when he was recruited by Liu Wei himself, his strength was greatly damaged, but fortunately, some escaped back, and after more than a year of recuperation, he still gathered 40,000 cavalry. In the battle of Yanmen, Xianbei suffered the least losses, and also entangled 25,000 iron cavalry, close to 70,000 cavalry, sharpening their knives, intending to strangle the rising hope of Hetao in the cradle.
