Chapter 115: First Sight of Dong Zhuo
"Today, even if you can't get Huaixian back, you have to kill all these more than 3,000 people, otherwise the lives of those tens of thousands of brothers will be given away in vain!"
Zhang Yan hid in the army, urging the soldiers to attack fiercely, at all costs.
Huang Chang had almost lost his confidence, and could only run back and forth in front of the battle, fighting fires everywhere.
"Crunch Crunch"
At this time, Huang Chang suddenly heard a creaking sound behind him, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Thundered
As the city gate opened, a cavalry rushed out with a roar!
"General, hurry back to the city to rest, and leave it to the last general here!"
This is Zhao Yun's voice!
"!"
Zhang Yan looked at the heavy cavalry that rushed out, and was angry.
Huang Chang hurriedly ordered the infantry to separate on both sides, make way for the cavalry, and then slowly retreated into the city.
The cavalry is like a fierce tiger out of the sky, chopping the waves in an instant, rushing out and killing a person on his back with the yellow turban tide!
The infantry slowly retreated into the city, and as soon as they entered the city, they immediately collapsed to the ground as if their skeletons were scattered.
Huang Chang hurriedly called the military doctor who accompanied the army to bandage and treat the wounded soldiers, while asking the Huotou Army to prepare food for the soldiers to replenish their strength.
And Zhang Yan, seeing the cavalry attacking and the infantry retreating, knew that there was nothing to do, so he had to order the army to retreat.
He wanted to retreat, but Zhao Yun didn't let go, and only led the army to chase and kill all the way, killing more than 30 miles before retreating back to the city.
At this point, the Battle of Huaixian ended with a great victory for the Youzhou army and a retreat for Zhang Yan's army.
In this battle, the infantry of the Youzhou Army killed nearly 100 people, and the rest were wounded; The Yellow Turban Army lost more than 30,000 dead in the battle under the city, and was chased and killed by heavy cavalry to more than 4,000, with a total loss of 40,000.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, Mengjin Ferry.
He Jin felt very strange about the actions of the Yellow Turban Army on the other side in the past two days.
A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army was desperate to cross the river to attack Mengjin regardless of the cost, but in the past two days, there has been no movement, which made him puzzled.
He was about to send someone to find out the details, but a soldier came to report it.
"General, there's a boat floating on the other side of the river, and the people on it want to see the general."
"Oh?"
He Jin frowned and said, "It's the Yellow Turban Thief?" ”
"No, General, there are more than ten people on this ship, the weapons and armor are all fine food, and they are under the banner of the Youzhou Army."
"Ahh Youzhou Army! Could it be Liu Zihong? He Jin remembered that the Son of Heaven had issued a holy decree to Liu Yuan in Youzhou, asking him to lead his troops south to King Qin and sweep away the thieves. Comparing the movements of the Yellow Turban Army in the past two days, He Jin has reason to believe that the Youzhou Army has arrived in Hanoi and has even defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Hanoi.
"Bring them in."
In a moment, the door was pushed open, and more than a dozen people in dark armor walked in.
"Youzhou Zhao Yun (Liu He) meets the general!"
"Please." He Jin raised his hands falsely, letting Zhao Yun and the others flatten, and then said, "You are Liu Zihong's subordinates?" What about Liu Zihong? Why didn't you see him? ”
"General Qiyu, Lord Assassin Shi is not the same road as me, Lord Assassin Shi is not on the same path as me, Lord Lun is going south along Jizhou, and we are coming down from Bingzhou."
Liu He stepped forward and hugged his fists.
"I see." He Jin touched his beard, nodded, and said, "The Yellow Turban Army on the other side"
"General, Hanoi's Zhang Yan Department has been defeated by us, and now it is fleeing westward, and the commander of our army, General Huang Chang, has led a large army to pursue. General Huang asked me to confess to the general on his behalf and offer a piece of etiquette. ”
As he spoke, Liu He clapped his hands, and a few large wooden boxes were carried up by soldiers outside the door, and when they were opened gently, they suddenly shone brightly and reflected all over the house.
"Oh, hehe" He Jin just heard that Huang Chang, who was the commander of the first army, did not come to visit, and he was a little unhappy, but he said that there was no one in his eyes, and when he saw these boxes of jewelry, he immediately threw that thought out of the sky, with a smile on his face, and indescribable affection.
Liu He and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and at the same time flashed a trace of disdain.
"General, now that the predicament in Hanoi has been solved, the general and His Majesty can sit back and relax, and we will catch up with General Huang, so I won't stay longer, so I will leave and ask the general for forgiveness."
"It's okay." He Jin smiled in his eyes, waved his hand indifferently, and said: "You are also for the country and the people, how can this general stop it, go, go." ”
Liu He and the others hugged their fists and slowly withdrew from the house.
He Jin smiled on his face at this time, and asked the left and right to carry the jewelry down, but he was pondering.
"As soon as the yellow scarf in Hanoi is gone, Luoyang is as stable as Mount Tai. But this merit" He Jin frowned: "Liu Zihong has often been filial to General Ben over the years, and at this time he has offered so many treasures, and General Ben is not easy to refute his face, let's stop it, report it truthfully, anyway, this general is an officer, and it is impossible to go any further, it is good to sell Liu Yuan, it is not bad." ”
When Liu Hong, the son of heaven, received He Jin's good news, he immediately smiled.
The left and right ministers said, "My vision is good, right?" Hahaha is worthy of Liu Zihong, who beat Hu Lu and couldn't raise his head, which really gave me a surprise. Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, how to reward Zihong? ”
"This" Taiwei Zhang Wen pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Zihong is already the assassin of Youzhou, the general of Zhenbei, and the champion Hou, but it is not good to be rewarded again."
This is also pertinent, Liu Yuan entered the title of the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households at the age of a weak crown, which is already a great gift, and it is indeed not appropriate to add another reward, Wang Yun, Yang Biao and other ministers all nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you transfer the champion Hou back to Your Majesty's side, what does Your Majesty think?" Yuan Kui's eyes rolled and said with a smile.
"No!" Emperor Ling glanced at Yuan Kui, how could he not know his thoughts, but said: "Although Hu Lu has been suppressed, he is still powerful, and he needs a strong person to suppress it. ”
Yuan Kui immediately kept silent.
Youzhou is located in the frontier, the land is barren, and the people are poor, so it is not worth his Yuan Kui's attention - Youzhou has developed quietly in recent years, but it has implemented a blockade policy to the outside world, although there are some rumors among the people, but it is not the eyes and ears of the high-level of the imperial court.
Facing the big hat pressed down by the Son of Heaven, Yuan Kui couldn't say anything more, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
"In this way, I will first suppress this credit, and then discuss it when the Yellow Turban Thief is completely eliminated and Zihong returns to the dynasty, how about it?"
"The Son of Heaven is wise!"
The camp of the Han army is no longer in charge of Lu Zhi's army.
At the beginning, the eunuch and the prison army were angry that Lu Zhi despised him and did not bribe him, so he framed him and was transferred back to Luoyang. Luoyang was worried that the war would change, so he immediately issued an order to let Dong Zhuo, who was then the Taishou of Hedong, lead the army to Yankou to replace Lu Zhi.
After Dong Zhuo received the holy decree, he immediately led 30,000 horses and horses to Anyang, and soon received more than 40,000 Han troops.
After that, Dong Zhuo led the army to attack Ye County, which was taken away by Cheng Zhiyuan, but he was defeated in successive battles without any success.
In the camp of indiscriminate mouth, in Dong Zhuo's military tent, the two sat and drank opposite each other.
The man above was stout, with a rugged face, a beard, and a large mouth. Only a pair of eyes are quite deep, showing his extraordinary wisdom. He is none other than Dong Zhuo.
The other person sitting opposite him was long, thin, white-faced, and had a scholarly temperament. But it is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru.
"Will this work? Don't fail to make a plan, but be blamed by the court, and it's not good to lower the punishment. ”
Dong Zhuo was obviously a little worried.
"Father-in-law, you're too worried. Besides, isn't this already implemented, and it's too late to regret it now? ”
Li Ru took a sip and said: "My father-in-law developed in Hedong in a muffled voice, hoarding grain and grass troops, in fact, he was already seen by the imperial court and was jealous. Otherwise, who won't send it this time, but let the father-in-law lead the army? But I want to test my father-in-law! ”
"If the father-in-law wins one battle after another, it will make some people more jealous, and then bring disaster; If you lose again and again, it is the best way to protect yourself. ”
While the two were talking, there was a cry from outside the camp asking to see them.
"Come in."
Dong Zhuo's faint tone, a gong-like voice came out, and he saw the door of the tent opened, and a soldier entered the door and bowed.
"Lord Qiqi, there is news from Yecheng, please take a look."
Li Ru stood up and stepped forward to take the paper stick, waved his sleeves to let the soldiers retreat, and handed the paper sign to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo looked through it, took a closer look, and couldn't help but change color.
"What, father-in-law?"
Li Ru hurriedly asked.
"Look."
Li Ru took a look at it, and couldn't help but change color as well.
"Yecheng has changed its flag, and it is actually the banner of Youzhou Liuzi. And Zhang Jiao has been killed! ”
"Amazing news!" Li Ru sighed: "Father-in-law, it seems that this yellow scarf won't be around for long." ”
Dong Zhuo had a calm face, nodded, and said, "The champion Hou is in Yecheng, how does the virtuous son-in-law think, how should the old man deal with it?" ”
"Naturally, I'm going to visit." Li Ru said: "Champion Hou's record, my father-in-law knows, and we all know it." But what kind of person is this person, wouldn't it be a pity not to have a chance not to see it? ”
"Okay, immediately gather important generals, and let's go to Yecheng to visit the champion Hou."
Dong Zhuo was quite decisive and had a bit of a resolute atmosphere.
In Yecheng, Liu Yuan was resting in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion where he temporarily lived.
After receiving Zhang Jiao's old ministry and saying that Cheng Zhiyuan was surrendered, Liu Yuan asked Cheng Zhiyuan to quickly return to Ye County, and threw all the 200,000 yellow scarves into Liu Yuan's arms.
You must know that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yecheng can be said to be Zhang Jiao's descendants, and they have extraordinary feelings for Zhang Jiao.
After arranging for a group of soldiers to be sent to Youzhou, Liu Yuan stayed quietly in Yecheng.
At this time, Dian Wei walked in.
"Young Master, Dong Zhuo is here."
Liu Yuan opened his eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Coming?" Take them to the living room and I'll be there in a moment. ”
After Dian Wei went down, Liu Yuan got up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the backyard slowly.
In the living room, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and a big man were sitting quietly.
There was a creak, and in the sun, a person walked in through the door.
Dong Zhuo and the others looked up and couldn't help but hold their breath.
I saw that this person was nine feet tall, with a handsome face, a strong majesty between his eyebrows, and a kind of majesty seemed to be permeated all over his body. Since he stepped into this room, Dong Zhuo and the three of them unconsciously bent down slightly.
Liu Yuan glanced at the three people with low eyebrows, walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked at Dong Zhuo, and said, "Presumably this is Hedong Dong Taishou, right?" ”
"Hedong guards Dong Zhuo too much, and brings his generals Li Ru and Hua Xiong to meet the champion Hou!"
"You're welcome." Liu Yuan smiled, and the body sitting there seemed to be a lying tiger, making the three of them shrink their hands and feet
After chatting with Dong Zhuo for half an hour, Liu Yuan dismissed the three of them with heavy tasks.
Out of Yecheng, the three of them completely relaxed, and looking back at the city where the tiger was standing on the dragon plate, Li Ru couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Dong Zhuo, who was expressionless, Li Ru couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law, this champion Hou"
"That's amazing!"
Hua Xiong's forehead was full of sweat, and only then did he ease up and said, "Lord, the champion Hou is so powerful!" The last general dared to conclude that the last general would not be able to walk in his hands! World shaking! Earth-shattering! ”
"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo Mumu's face was shocked for a moment: "Is it so powerful?" Huaxiong, your martial arts, it can be said that the crown of Xiliang, in the hands of the champion Hou, you can't go together? The words were full of disbelief.
"Yes." Hua Xiong looked at Li Ru's frightened mouth and Dong Zhuo's shock, and said, "Champion Hou has a strong blood qi, and it seems that he has practiced his will, and fused it with blood qi to form a domain. The last general had heard that such a master was rare in the pre-Qin period! ”
