Chapter 192: Hu Zhen dies
After Feng Ji listened to Yuan Shao's words, he went to the soldiers brought back by Hu Zhen to announce the order. Although Feng Ji knew that this incident would make him offend the old subordinates left by Dong Zhuo, Feng Ji was not there. In Feng Ji's heart, as long as he pleases Yuan Shao, it is enough, and as for the rest, Feng Ji is too lazy to care.
When Feng Ji arrived outside the barracks of the soldiers brought back by Hu Zhen, he happened to meet Hu Zhen who was returning from a stroll in Tongguan. "General Hu will recuperate in the camp when he comes back from injury, and he still has the heart to patrol the defense of Tongguan?" Looking at Hu Zhen, Feng Ji sneered.
Hu Zhen saw someone talking to him here, although Hu Zhen had also seen this person beside Yuan Shao before, but he was really not impressed. But Hu Zhen saw that Feng Ji dared to speak to himself like this, and expected that Feng Ji must be a celebrity in front of Yuan Shao now, so he looked at Feng Ji and said: "As a general, if you are not familiar with the defense of Tongguan, how can you be called a qualified general?" ”
"Oh? That's a lonely and unheard of, but I don't know that the general of the defeated army is also a general. Anyway, Feng Ji knew that Hu Zhen had no place in Yuan Shao's heart, so he was also sneering at Hu Zhen, and he was not afraid at all.
Hu Zhen frowned, but thinking of what he had agreed with Xu Rong and the others before, he simply suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Feng Ji: "I don't know what this adult means?" If it's okay, then it's light, Hu's serious injury has not healed, and now he is tired. ”
Feng Ji looked at Hu Zhen's appearance, and said with a smile: "Hu is here to convey the military order of the lord, since I met General Hu here, then let's talk about it here." In order to quell the semi-chaos, the lord transferred the 5,000 soldiers and horses back to protect Zhangye and quell the rebellion. ”
"Qiang rebellion?" When Hu Zhen heard Feng Ji say this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with his ears, how could the Qiang people rebel? Dong Zhuo started by relying on the Qiang people, and now there is Han Sui sitting in the rear, how can the Qiang people rebel? "Is this military situation wrong, how can the Qiang people rebel?"
Feng Ji saw that Hu Zhen didn't believe it, so he said: "What, General Hu plans to support his troops and respect himself, and does not obey the orders of the lord?" Since it is a poisonous plan that has been decided, Feng Ji will naturally take into account all aspects, among which Hu Zhen does not believe in the Qiang rebellion, Feng Ji has long thought about it.
Hu Zhen heard that Feng Ji had suppressed such a big crime, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to say this, how dare Hu disobey General Yuan's orders." Hu went to convey the general's order and asked people to go to the treasury to collect weapons. ”
"By the way, General Hu, Fang Cai was negligent, and these armies will replenish their weapons after they arrive in Zhangye. After all, Tongguan is also the front line now, and there is also a shortage of weapons. "How could Feng Ji let those people go with weapons, wouldn't that be uncomfortable?
Hu Zhen heard Feng Ji say this, although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still didn't say anything, after all, those people were not within the scope of his plan. "Since this is the case, then Hu went to pass the order. Just don't know when the army will leave? ”
"Early tomorrow morning, after breakfast, the army will get up and go back to protect Zhangye." This kind of thing, naturally, the sooner the better. If it weren't for the smooth handling of this matter, Feng Ji just wanted to say that he would leave now, anyway, he would be sent to death, what else would he pack?
Hu Zhen heard that Feng Ji was in such a hurry, and he felt that there was something strange in it, but now that the order has come down, he can't disobey Yuan Shao's order. Helplessly, Hu Zhen could only make a military salute to Feng Ji and walked towards the camp.
When Feng Ji saw Hu Zhen enter the camp, he smiled coldly: "General Hu, hum!" If you lose the battle, you dare to put on a score in front of me, and tomorrow I will make you a dead general! After throwing away a sentence like this, Feng Ji went to find Wen Chou, after all, it was five thousand people, so he had to plan it well.
After Hu Zhen entered the camp, he said to one of the guards: "You go and invite General Dong Cheng to come over now, and say that I will invite him to drink." ”
On the second day, it was the day agreed between Hu Zhen and Xu Rong, but Hu Zhen temporarily received Yuan Shao's order, so he could only go to Zhangye first, waiting for the opportunity to find a way to return to Tongguan. It doesn't matter if you can't go back, anyway, Hu Zhen and those soldiers have agreed.
After breakfast, Hu Zhen led the army from Tongguan to Zhangye. It's just that when Hu Zhen left, there were two generals in this pass who disappeared.
After marching less than fifty miles, the army passed through a valley. It's just that the terrain is dangerous, and it is a passage that is split in the middle of a large mountain. There is no level here, although it is dangerous, but this mountain is not big, and it only takes two more hours to get around.
Now that this Xiliang is Yuan Shao's territory, marching on his own territory, what are the people afraid of? Therefore, the army didn't care at all, just laughed and walked towards this mountain gu. Before the valley, there were more than 1,000 soldiers, and these people were Dong Cheng's subordinates.
On the night before, Hu Zhen only felt that there was something strange at this time, so he asked Dong Cheng to come and drink together, and while drinking, Hu Zhen explained his worries to Dong Cheng. After Dong Cheng heard this, he brought a thousand soldiers to wait here before Hu Zhen set off.
After Hu Zhen saw Dong Cheng, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Dong Cheng: "Thank you General Dong for bringing people here, Hu is grateful." ”
Seeing Hu Zhen like this, Dong Cheng immediately hurriedly waved his hand to Hu Zhen and said: "General Hu is polite, you and I used to be generals who were both former generals, and now General Hu is in trouble, how can Dong not reach out and pull it?" ”
When Hu Zhen heard Dong Cheng say this, he was also very grateful in his heart, so he said to Dong Cheng: "Don't hide it from General Dong, Hu feels that the so-called Qiang rebellion this time was made up by Yuan Shao, just to deal with our Xiliang family. After Hu left, there was only General Dong left in Tongguan, a general of the Xiliang system, and General Dong was very careful. ”
After Dong Cheng listened to Hu Zhen's words, after thinking about it, he felt that Hu Zhen's worries were not unreasonable. If you really let the army go back to quell the rebellion, why don't you even have weapons and armor? After these people return to Zhangye, the military situation is urgent, is it difficult to let these soldiers go into battle with their bare hands?
"Thank you General Hu for reminding me, Dong will take General Hu for a ride, and after this valley, Dong will go back to Tongguan. If Yuan Shao hadn't seen Dong for too long, he would have doubts. Although he guessed these things, Dong Cheng had no way to leave, unless he was a deserter.
Hu Zhen listened to Dong Cheng's words, and he didn't twist, so that Dong Cheng and the two walked forward side by side and walked towards the valley. When the 6,000 soldiers were about to leave the valley, there was a "boom" behind them, and everyone only felt that the mountain was trembling.
Hu Zhen took a look, but saw that countless boulders fell from the top of this mountain, blocking everyone's way back. "Quick, everyone rush out of this valley as soon as possible!" Hu Zhen was in a hurry, and ordered to the people who were already in chaos behind him. After speaking, Hu Zhen took Dong Chengdang and rushed out of the valley first.
It's just that the soldiers in this mountain have been in chaos at this time, and with the sound of "boom" falling from the boulder, except for the soldiers around Hu Zhen, there are people who can hear Hu Zhen's order, and they just break in.
After Hu Zhen and Dong Cheng rushed out of the valley, they were stunned. Outside the valley, it was the heavy cavalry of Wen Chou, which Yuan Shao attached the most importance to. Wen Chou stood in front of the valley and blocked everyone's way, and in the valley, there were countless falling rocks. At this moment, Hu Zhen and the others really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Wen Chou didn't attack, just watched there, and after all the soldiers in the valley came out, Wen Chou slowly stepped forward and said, "General Ben thought there was only one Hu Zhen, but he didn't want to wait for a Dong Cheng." It's also good, it's solved at once, and everything is over. ”
Hu Zhen didn't feel surprised when he looked at Wen Chou, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to use such a big card. It was Dong Cheng who only felt extremely surprised when he saw Wen Chou. "General Wen, why are you here?" In Dong Cheng's impression, Wen Chou is Yuan Shao's personal general, and now even Wen Chou has appeared, can Yuan Shao not come?
Although Dong Cheng is Dong Zhuo's person, after all, Dong Zhuo is dead, and now this piece of foundation has been handed over to Yuan Shao. Dong Cheng doesn't care who he is loyal to, he just wants to live. He came to see Hu Zhen off because he felt that there was no danger in this matter.
Wen Chou's general Dong Cheng asked, and said with a smile: "Why does General Dong think this general is here?" General Ben and his subordinates are naturally here to hunt, and it won't be an outing. ”
When Dong Cheng heard Wen Chou say this, his eyes suddenly turned black, and he almost fell off the horse.
When Wen Chou saw that all the people who could still move in the valley came out, he waved his hand and said to the soldiers under him: "Kill me!" Although there are not many of these prey, it is enough to practice. ”
These soldiers under Wen Chou are also called the "Flying Bear Army", but these people do not have the shadow of the original batch of Flying Bear Army. Compared with the Flying Bear Army in Dong Zhuo's hands, these people have less iron-blooded military discipline, but they have a little more bloodthirsty desire.
These soldiers under Wen Chou were also selected from the Qiang people, but they were not soft in the face of their compatriots who were also Qiang people. The cavalrymen grinned as they slew, and even took out the internal organs they had killed and put them into their mouths.
When Hu Zhen saw that these Qiang people were so inhuman, he was furious, and after drawing his sword and killing several Qiang people who rushed towards him, he beat his horse and killed Wen Chou.
It's just that Wen Chou suffered a lot of humiliation under the Tiger Prison back then, and he has been practicing hard since he came back, and his martial arts are no longer comparable to Wen Chou in the past. "Humph!" Seeing Hu Zhen killing, Wen Chou snorted coldly, and when Hu Zhen rushed to his eyes, Wen Chou quickly took out the knife. It's just that before he saw how Wen Chou's knife was used, Hu Zhen saw his headless body.
Seeing this, Dong Cheng still has the courage to resist. It's just that since Wen Chou has gone under the knife, he naturally won't leave a living mouth. It's just that he was pitiful for Dong Zhuo and put the foundation of his life in the hands of Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect that the generals who had followed him would eventually die in the hands of Yuan Shao.
