When Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng heard about this, he held a grudge and returned to the capital, falsely accusing Lu Zhi of not being able to fight well, delaying time, and refusing to enter the army.

Emperor Ling was furious, and used a prisoner cart to load Lu Zhi to pull him back to Luoyang, and replaced him with Dong Zhuo, and went to Hebei to quell the chaos.

This is what happened during this time, when Li Yuan and the others were bidding farewell to Lu Zhi.

Liu Bei was even more in tears, I don't know if it was the friendship between teachers and students, or other thoughts, in short, Lu Zhi was greatly moved, and comforted him in turn.

In the next few days, the army blocked Zhang Jiao's several attacks, until Dong Zhuo came, Li Yuan and others came to greet him, he took a look in the crowd, and saw that he was majestic and majestic at this time, with a face, revealing a fierce appearance, far from being fat and bloated on TV.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the five schools of the Northern Army were the second generation of officials and the clan of the scholars, and they were very dissatisfied with the commander of the martial arts of Yiliangzhou, and they did not show up at this moment.

Dong Zhuo was also dissatisfied, and after a few words of greeting with everyone, he notified the discussion.

Seeing that only the leader of the coalition army came, he was even more dissatisfied, and said: "I am entrusted by the imperial court to come here to kill thieves, and I hope you will help you to achieve this success." ”

Li Yuan nodded secretly, this Dong Zhuo is not stupid, he has just arrived, and he wants to make meritorious contributions to achieve the goal of winning the hearts of the army, so he ordered: "Tomorrow the fifth watch will attack the city, but if there is a delay, it will not be forgiven." ”

Although Li Yuan knew that Dong Zhuo would be defeated sooner or later, he did not persuade him and returned to his camp to prepare for tomorrow's siege.

The next day, before dawn, the barracks were cooking and eating in a hurry, and they lined up to attack the city.

Li Yuan stood in the distance and saw Zhang Fei climb the ladder, dodging left and right, and rushing up, but the enemy's counterattack was too fierce and he had to retreat.

Dong Zhuo saw that the battle was stalemate, but he had no heart to withdraw his troops, so he continued to beat drums and cheer, urging the siege.

This battle was fought until the golden crow was hanging, and the high temperature seemed to have become the reinforcement of the Yellow Turban, making people more and more tired, Dong Zhuo knew that he could not fight anymore, this was a clear death.

had to order the troops to be collected, Zhang Jiao saw the officers and soldiers who were receding from the tide, and immediately ordered Zhang Liang to lead the army to chase and kill, and the officers and soldiers cried and cried for their mother.

Not only did he not make meritorious contributions in this battle, but he also lost more than 10,000 men and horses, which made Dong Zhuo's prestige fall directly to the freezing point, and he couldn't shrink for several days.

At this time, Li Yuan was alone, and he asked to see Dong Zhuo alone.

Dong Zhuo was drinking wine in the account, and when he heard someone asking to see him, he ordered someone to remove the wine.

Li Yuan also stepped into the account, knelt down and said, "See the general." ”

"You may be seated."

"General Xie." Li Yuan got up and sat down on a blanket.

Dong Zhuo looked at it carefully, except for his face was a little delicate, he was useless, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"The lowly post is here now, there is nothing mundane, but the hero in the heart." Li Yuan said sincerely.

Dong Zhuo shook his body and suddenly said with interest: "How can I become a hero?" ”

Li Yuan stood up and said: "The general should be humble, although I am far away in the Central Plains, I have also heard of the general's prestige. You have been chivalrous since you were a child, your martial arts are good, people from near and far are willing to fellowship, and many leaders of the Qiang tribe also worship you. Yanxi ten years, and the state Qiang rebellion, you follow the Zhonglang general Zhang Huan as a military Sima, the Ming people do not say dark words, if there is no general in that battle, its victory or defeat is unknown. ”

Dong Zhuo bowed his head again and again, grinned modestly and said, "Where! Where! ”

Li Yuan continued to pat the horse and said: "The first battle was unfavorable, not the general's sin, but the soldier's failure to fulfill his life. ”

Dong Zhuo was itchy by him continuously, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, but he was not confused, and knew that he would have something to ask for.

Li Yuan will not really attach himself to him, but leave a good impression on him.

The two talked happily, and an hour later, Dong Zhuo took Li Yuan's hand and said reluctantly: "When Liude has nothing to do, you can come to the camp to continue." ”

Li Yuan agreed, of course, not to continue friendship, but to continue to pat on the back.

For several days, Li Yuan was in Dong Zhuo's account, and gradually became known to the rest of the people, scolding him for being shameless, and even Liu Bei was a little estranged.

Three days later, Dong Zhuo ordered the army to attack the city, but none of them could conquer it, and this situation lasted until October.

And Huangfu Song captured Bu Ji in Cangting, Dongjun, and killed more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, among which the old and weak women and children needless to say.

The imperial court saw that Dong Zhuo could not make meritorious contributions, so he was immediately dismissed from his post under the advice of someone with a heart, and Huangfu Song continued to go north.

Dong Zhuo saw that few people came to send him, only Li Yuan took a package and sent it to him for more than ten miles, so he had to say: "Liude, don't send it again." ”

Li Yuansheng squeezed out a few tears and said, "Brother, take care all the way." A package was handed over.

Dong Zhuo didn't look down on such a lowly person, he just liked to listen to him, and when he saw him send such a long way with a dead face, and he called his brother one by one, he suddenly became bored in his heart. But when he gave him a package, he knew the jewelry as soon as he touched it, and suddenly the boredom was replaced by pleasure.

Li Yuan waited for Dong Zhuo to disappear completely before turning the horse around, of course, this is not useless. Dong Zhuo knew that there was a warm current in his heart, but he was rough by nature, and this warm current passed quickly.

A few days later, when Huangfu Song arrived, he unexpectedly got the news that Zhang Jiao was sick and died.

Huangfu Song immediately attacked, but the Yellow Turbans knew that the moment of life and death had come, and they blocked the attack. Then the plan, so that the battalion of men and horses rest, not to move around at will, for more than ten days, finally Zhang Liang's army slack, late at night to transfer troops to attack, the enemy army was unprepared, under the chaos, Zhang Liang was killed, the anti-thief fire was killed, or jumped into the river and drowned, the dead as many as more than 100,000.

Li Yuan looked at the Han family banner on the Guangzong city wall, and the banner of the Zhang family under his feet, and the countless corpses around him, and suddenly shed tears, not for victory, but to witness such a miserable scene, tears unconsciously slid down, blended into the blood on the ground, blended together, and couldn't tell which was blood and which was tears.

You Cao came back from killing the enemy excitedly, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't tell what it felt like in his heart, because he didn't understand the meaning of being a human being at all, he didn't know the difference between the yellow scarf and the imperial court, he just knew that it was good to be able to breathe out.

Dian Wei saw his eldest brother crying, and his tiger eyes were also a little moist, and asked, "Big brother, what are you crying for?" ”

Li Yuan wiped away his tears with his sleeve and said, "Let's go, quickly clean up the battlefield." ”

Wang He is the same, life and death are impermanent, he has experienced it firsthand, which makes him love his family even more.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the sunset swept across the Zhanghe River, swept under their feet, and continued to extend, lonely and desolate.

The green grass drinks blood, and the fish feast; The earth was thickened by this, and the saints flourished.

From ancient times to the present, nothing has changed, killing, power, and endless deceit to death, the desolate sound of drums and horns still echoes, like inheritance, floating in every grieving farmhouse, inspiring princes and generals, and rather riding a bull child.

Li Yuan killed the undead one by one to end their suffering, maybe death was what they wanted, or maybe they just found a reason to die in peace.

In troubled times, these four words are like a war drum, beating on his chest, urging him to move forward and inspiring him to quickly end this hell on earth.
