(17) Zhao Yun Chang'an collected the fierce generals, and Lu Bu planned to take Wuwei City
On the 3rd of March, the army marched to Liangzhou at an astonishing speed, and soon reached the territory of Hanoi County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Before leaving, Lu Bu had instructed Xun Yu, who was staying in Jinyang, to write a letter to ask his uncle Xun Yu, who was about to go to Luoyang to serve as the palace guard, to come and help, and he wanted to recruit as many powerful subordinates as possible for himself before the world was in chaos.
While thinking about it, the deputy pioneer Xu Huang flew to report: "Report to the general, a military horse suddenly flashed in the woods ahead, claiming to be the first general, claiming to be Hanoi Fang Yue, and respecting the general's name, he led the crowd to come and attach. "Fang Yue, it is the famous Hanoi general who was stabbed off the horse by his own halberd before the Tiger Prison Pass!" Lu Bu thought secretly: Although he is a third-rate general, it is better than nothing, after all, there are too few talents under him, so he can't let a few generals do everything!
I saw that Fang Yue was seven feet tall, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was carrying a silver gun in his hand, although he was not as elegant and handsome as Zhao Yun, he could also be called a good man. When Fang Yue saw Lu Bu coming, he jumped off his horse and bowed his head: "Fang Yue, the grass people, I have long heard that the general's name is admired, and I heard that the general led his troops to Xiliang through Hanoi to quell the rebellion, and specially gathered more than 100 people in the village to prepare their own weapons and horses to serve the general, and I hope that the general will take it in!" Lu Bu said with a smile: "Those who have aspirations to kill the enemy and serve the country, I admire you first, you will temporarily serve as the captain of the general's guard and lead the army and horses of the headquarters to join the general's guard, and then reward him after this meritorious service!" Fang Yue was overjoyed at the moment and thanked Lu Bu for his trust.
Lu Bu smiled secretly: "There are a few fierce generals in the Xiliang rebels this time that are quite difficult to deal with, I am afraid that you will not be able to do well, so I gave my life in vain to keep you by my side." "Along the way, one after another, the Han army was defeated one after another in the battle of Li Wenhou's siege of the city to help, Sun Jian was wounded, Zhang Wen was killed, and even Huangfu Song was pierced off his helmet by Yan Xing with a shot, if it weren't for Dong Zhuojun's fierce general Hua Xiong to arrive in time with five thousand flying bear troops, at this time Huangfu Song's army is afraid that the whole army has been wiped out! Everything is urging Lu Bu to arrive at the battlefield quickly, if he can't end the war before the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, the world pattern will be even more chaotic, and his chances of winning in the competition will be even slimmer!
The words are divided into two ends, but it is said that Ma Chao ran away from home in anger that day, and accidentally met Pound who hunted for a living in the mountains. Pang De's words are clear, his parents died when he was a child, and he grew up with his brother Pang Rou, because he was born with extraordinary talents, not only brave and invincible, but also a huge amount of food, his brother and sister-in-law were very disgusted, Pang De left home in anger and lived in seclusion in the mountains, I heard that Ma Chao was also a runaway person, and the two were confidants at first sight.
On this day, Ma Chaozheng and Pang De joined forces to catch a wild boar, and suddenly heard the sound of a large group of people surging under the hillside not far away, the two were curious, so they went over the hillside to watch, this look scared the two of them a lot, only to see thousands of refugees helping the old and the young to sit and march to the south.
"Old man, what's wrong?" Ma Chao grabbed an old man and asked, "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are from Wuwei, why did you leave your hometown?" The old man's parents sighed and shed two lines of old tears: "Young man, you don't know yet, do you?" Li Wenhou of Xihai City rebelled, united with the 20,000 army of King Qiang to sweep all over Xiliang, and he had already reached Chang'an! "What!" Ma Chao couldn't help but worry about his father's safety: "What about General Ma stationed in Wuwei?" "I don't know!" The old man was in a hurry to get away, "At that time, the rebel offensive was very fierce, General Ma personally led the guards to break off to win time for us to evacuate, we had just withdrawn Wuwei was captured, I heard that General Ma's family seems to have been killed!" "What!" Ma Chao grabbed the old man excitedly, "Do you know that the enemy vanguard general and man?" The old man thought about it carefully and replied: "It is Yan Xing, the general of Han Sui in Jincheng, by the way, Han Sui of Jincheng also took refuge in Li Wenhou and was appointed as the central protector and held great power!" ”
"Han Sui, it's Han Sui again!" New hatred and old hatred surged into his heart, and Ma Chao sobbed and roared angrily: "Han Sui Pifu, I, Ma Mengqi, will not kill you, swear not to be a man!" Ahhh With that, he turned over and jumped on the war horse and rushed towards Chang'an, and Pang De, who had always been righteous and reckless behind him, picked up the tiger's head and golden knife and rode the horse to follow closely.
Under the city of Chang'an, Li Wenhou divided the army into five teams to attack in turn, from early morning to dusk, the Great Wall of Xiliang Taishou Zuochang has been killed, at this moment Ma Teng became the supreme commander of the city, unified command of 30,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack.
"General, our army is running out of arrows!" Shen Hou, a wounded lieutenant, reported the last news to Ma Teng with the support of Ma Dai, and he fell to the ground and fainted. Ma Teng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to send Shen Hou to the hospital for treatment.
Looking at his two sons, a daughter and his son Ma Dai, Ma Teng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said to the four of them: "Children, now that it is the last moment, do you remember what your father said to you?" The second son, Ma Tie, stepped forward and replied: "Remember, even if you die in battle, you will never leave Liangzhou!" When the younger brothers and sisters around them heard this, they nodded one after another. Ma Teng said: "Yes, your mother is buried in this land, and my father swears that he will never leave Liangzhou in his lifetime and will always accompany your mother." But you are still young, you are still ......" Before Ma Teng finished speaking, the third son Ma Xiu interrupted: "Father, don't say it, our Ma family has no bad seeds, we have to live and die together, it's a big deal to go to see my mother together." "Yes, brothers, let's go!" Ma Yunluo picked up the spear and turned around and walked out, and Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, and Ma Dai behind him followed closely with guns. Looking at the children who died generously, Ma Teng nodded with relief, and with a trace of tears flashing in his eyes, he secretly said in his heart: "Yi Yun'er, you have a spirit in the sky to look at, our children are more angry than one another, and they don't embarrass you!" Hehe, Yi Yun'er, wait for me, I'll come to you! I'm coming to you with my kids! ”
Outside the city of Chang'an, the general Yan Xing personally took the lead in attacking the city with five hundred dead soldiers, and Li Wenhou under the city said to Han Sui beside him with satisfaction: "This person is brave and crowns the three armies, fortunately this person is in our army!" Han Sui said a few perfunctory words, knowing Ma Teng's character, he apologized in his heart: "I'm sorry, Brother Shoucheng!" ”
Yan Xing stabbed a shot at a soldier defending the city, and suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, raised the spear in his hand and held Yan Xing's spear, Yan Xing fixed his eyes, but it was Ma Teng, and immediately persuaded: "General Ma, the one who knows the times is a good general, you are a good general, it is the time to show your skills, why bother to work for that faint king!" "Phew!" Ma Teng said angrily, "The thief who betrayed the lord is rampant, eat me a shot!" The spear in his hand immediately stabbed, Yan Xing smiled bitterly, and raised his gun to fight back.
Taking advantage of Yan Xing's trapping, Ma Yunluo and others rushed up with the guards to quickly drive the enemy troops in the city out of the city. Li Wenhou gritted his teeth and pointed at Ma Teng in the city and scolded angrily: "Ma Shoucheng, if I attack Chang'an, I will definitely leave not a single inch of grass here, and then I will not slaughter your Ma family, and I Li Wenhou will not be a man!" "The thief will be rampant, and Xiliang Ma Meng will also get up!" Ma Chao shouted angrily from the rear army into the formation, and Pang De then opened the tiger's head golden knife and beheaded a large number of enemies under the horse!
Seeing Ma Chao killed, the hearts of everyone in the city couldn't help but be shocked, and the cheers one after another were suppressed for a while. Li Wenhou saw that Ma Chao could single-handedly enter the realm of no one in the army, and immediately sighed: "Jinma Chao is worthy of his reputation, this Ma Teng is really lucky, the sons born are more powerful than the other, there are sons like this, why hate death!" As soon as these words came out, he annoyed Yan Xing beside him, last time Ma Chao embarrassed him in front of everyone, and he had been holding his breath in his heart, and now he has the opportunity to compete with Ma Chao again, how can he let it go, and then he rushed over Ma Chao with Ma Chao.
"Yan Xing, it's just in time, take your life!" Seeing that Yan Xing was killed, Ma Chao left Liang Yuanbi beside him to catch Yan Xing with a gun, and the two of them each started to fight for a while, Pang De saw this and stepped forward to help, Liang Yuanbi raised a big knife to block it, four fierce generals, and four war horses fought like marquees in the military formation, which attracted everyone's applause. Seeing the stalemate, Song Yang leaned over and said a few words in Li Wenhou's ear, and Li Wenhou's eyes flashed with murderous intent and nodded in agreement. Ma Teng condescendingly observed that Li Wenhou's left and right wings were more than 10,000 elite horses in a cone, divided into east and west, and were detouring behind Ma Chao, the city's troops were limited, and Ma Teng wanted to save but had no doppelganger power, and couldn't help but be anxious.
"Phew!" Ma Chao swung his spear and picked up Yan Xing's wrist, Yan Xing let out a miserable scream, and the spear in his hand drew several circles in the air and stuck it on the ground. Looking at the spear that had been stabbed in his chest, Yan Xing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on the back of his head, he couldn't care about the wound on his hand in a hurry, and grabbed the gun shaft stabbed by Ma Chao with both arms forward, although Ma Chao was born with divine power, but after all, he was still young, and Yan Xing was stimulated to great potential when he was dying, and the two of them each used their brute force, and immediately you came and went to grab the spear, about a quarter of an hour later, only to hear a crisp sound from the gun in the hands of the two, and it was actually broken by the two of them! The experienced Yan Xing had already made preparations, and when he saw that the spear was broken, he immediately leaned back and maintained his balance in time, while the young and vigorous Ma Chao used too much force and suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell forward.
Yan Xing reversed the half spear in his hand and stabbed it straight into Ma Chao's neck. Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice behind me: "Hugh hurt my brother." It turned out that Ma Yunluo led a thousand soldiers and horses into the battle, and when he saw his brother in distress, he immediately threw the Yingluan gun left by his mother in his hand. Before Yan Xing could turn around, he saw a delicate spear flying in front of Ma Chao, and Ma Chao raised his hand to catch it, and at the same time barely stood on his feet with the gun supporting the ground. Yan Xing saw that the assassination was hopeless, so he immediately turned his horse's head and rushed towards Ma Yunluo.
At this moment, Ma Yunluo lost his weapon, and in his hecticism, he had to raise a hard bow and barely hold the half of the spear that Yan Xing stabbed, Yan Xing was so old-fashioned, his left hand shook a shot, and his right hand reached behind Ma Yunluo and lifted her straight to the horse! Ma Yunluo, who had just passed his thirteenth birthday, had been treated like this, and couldn't help shouting at Yan Xing with shame and anger: "Bastard, put me down!" My brother won't let you go! Yan Xing proudly looked at Ma Chao, who was entangled by the army behind him, and shouted proudly: "Your brother is already unable to protect himself, so let's go with me!" Before the words fell, Yan Xing heard the sound of a bull's horn not far away.
Li Wenhou listened to the sound of the trumpet and hurriedly ordered: "All the troops are fighting, the enemy's reinforcements are coming!" Sure enough, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the horizon, covering the sky and the sun continuously, there were tens of thousands of people, and Ma Teng, who had excellent eyesight, first saw a young general who rushed to the front like his son, dressed in white armor, with a spear in his hand brandished and knocked down the more than a dozen cavalry who rushed towards him, and the big flag behind him was impressively written "Bingzhou Zhaoyun" four big characters! Ma Teng couldn't help but be excited: "Soldiers, it's Bingzhou Lu Bu, our reinforcements are coming, immediately follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!" All the soldiers were jubilant, and in an instant, the four gates of Chang'an opened, and 30,000 elite soldiers rushed out and went straight to Li Wenhou's army to kill.
Seeing that the Bingzhou army had arrived, Song Yang hurriedly said to Li Wenhou: "Lord, our army has lost the opportunity to attack the city, so it is better to temporarily withdraw from the army and fight again in the future, so as not to be annihilated by the enemy on the back of the enemy!" Li Wenhou always listened to Song Yang's advice, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again at a later date. When the army under his command heard the sound of gold, he immediately changed his rear team to the front team and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. Li Wenhou turned around and saw that Yan Xing was still entangled in the formation, and couldn't help but scold: "Stupid, stupid! ”
Li Wenhou was wrong to blame Yan Xing this time, it wasn't that he didn't want to withdraw, but Ma Chao was chasing too tightly behind him! In order to buy time for the brigade to retreat, Yan Xing had no choice but to snatch a spear from one of the guards and take Ma Yunluo to run left and right in the military formation. Not long after, more than 10,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry rushed to the battlefield under the leadership of Zhao Yun and quickly entered the battle, and Yan Xing couldn't distinguish the direction in the chaotic army after several times of rushing and killing, and actually plunged into the cavalry formation of the Bingzhou army, and collided head-on with the vanguard Zhao Yun.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was dignified and imposing, Yan Xing knew that he must be a powerful character, but he couldn't fall down, and still asked toughly: "This general is the vanguard of the righteous army, Yan Xing is ......" I didn't expect Zhao Yun to give face at all, and before Yan Xing finished speaking, he split a shot head-on, only to see the gentian gun pressing the spear against Yan Xing's shoulder: "The rebellious ministers and thieves dare to blow up their reputation, look at me Changshan Zhao Zilong to take your head!" After speaking, he raised his hand and knocked down the spear in Yan Xing's hand with another shot, and the huge force caused the wound on Yan Xing's wrist that had just healed to collapse again, and blood splattered out!
Lian Zhan was eventful Yan Xing was already out of strength, and in the face of a first-class star like Zhao Yun, it was barely enough to hold out for the next round, so he hurriedly threw Ma Yunluo at Zhao Yun and turned around and fled. How can the fat that reaches the mouth fly? I saw Zhao Yun sneer, took Ma Yunluo in his arms with his left hand, and swung his gentian gun with his right hand and hit Yan Xing's thigh, Yan Xing fell off the horse with a scream, and Xu Huang next to him just arrived to order his subordinates to tie Yan Xing up and escort him back to the camp.
"Little girl, are you alright?" Looking at the little girl in her arms, Zhao Yun showed a gentle smile. Ma Yunluo looked at the handsome young man in front of her with short breath, her mother's death left a huge shadow in her heart, she always looked at strangers with hostile eyes, no matter what their attitude was towards them Ma Yunluo never had the slightest affection for each other, but why did this strange young man's words melt his heart that had been frozen for many years? Seeing that Ma Yunluo didn't answer, Zhao Yun thought she was frightened, so she comforted, "What a brave girl, your parents will be proud of you, go, I'll take you home!" As he spoke, he urged the war horse to walk towards Chang'an City, Zhao Yun's powerful chest made Ma Yunluo temporarily forget the danger of the battlefield, and leaned on Zhao Yun's arms shyly, full of confusion, she simply stopped thinking about it, but closed her eyes tiredly, and gradually fell asleep.
Ma Chao caught up with him here, and seeing that Zhao Yun had no malicious intentions, he immediately relaxed his heart and stepped forward and said: "Thank you to the general for saving her sister, in Xia Wuwei Ma Chao is Meng Qi, dare to ask the general's surname?" "Under is the pioneer Zhao Yun Zilong under the command of General Lu Bu of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Fenwei!" Saying that, Zhao Yun handed over the sleeping Ma Yunluo to Ma Chao's arms, Ma Chao glanced at his sister distressedly, and then raised his head and said to Zhao Yun: "Thanks to the general's timely arrival today, otherwise Chang'an will be in danger." I thanked the general for the people of Chang'an. Zhao Yun replied: "The general doesn't have to be like this, as a soldier to protect the family and defend the country is his duty, the general can quickly take Ling Mei and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters back to Chang'an, my general has his own clever plan to deal with this group of traitors, and Zhao Yun is not answering at the moment to pursue the enemy army." Seeing this, Ma Chao took his sister to join the soldiers and horses brought by his father and quickly returned to Chang'an.
Here Pang De killed the rise, the more he fought, the more brave he became, Liang Yuanbi, who had been fighting for many days, turned around and fled, Pang De waved a knife to cut down an enemy general, saw that Liang Yuanbi had gone away, he was not chasing, just happened to meet Xu Huang who was chasing by a horse, Pang De didn't know Xu Huang, thought that this was also a rebel general, and picked up the tiger head golden knife again and ran to Xu Huang to cut it, Xu Huang saw that Pang De was dressed like a rebel, and immediately raised the mountain axe and the two generals each used their skills to fight, and the soldiers with the army saw Pang De brave, Xu Huang was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, Immediately return to the Chinese army to report to Zhao Yun.
Pound raised the tiger's head golden knife and slashed head-on, Xu Huang crossed the mountain axe to block a blow, the two horses staggered and stood down, Pound turned around and said approvingly: "I can't imagine that there is a character like you in the rebels!" Xu Huang, whose arms were numb, heard that the other party called himself a thief, and immediately said angrily: "Fart, you traitor dare to bite back and eat me with an axe!" As he spoke, he used all his brute force to slash diagonally, and Pang De didn't dare to carelessly raise the tiger's head golden knife to meet it, only to hear "Bell!" With a bang, the tiger-headed golden knife and the mountain axe were stuck in each other's gaps, and the two sides hurriedly grabbed their own weapons when they saw this!
Suddenly, the two saw a white shadow flash in front of them, and then a huge force was transmitted to the hands of the two, and the weapons of the two sides were immediately separated, Pang De raised his head, only to see a handsome young general in front of him stop Xu Huang and clasp his fists and said to himself: "Zhao Yun, the pioneer under the command of General Lu Bu of Assassin Shi Fenwei in Xia Bingzhou, dare to ask the general's surname?" Seeing that the other party had no malicious intentions, Pang De put away the tiger's head golden knife and saluted back: "In Xia Xiliang Pang De, the words are clear." Zhao Yunyi said solemnly: "Strongman, our army is pursuing the Xiliang rebels, why should the strong man intercept our army here!" After listening to Zhao Yun's explanation, Pang De realized that he was reckless for a while and made the wrong object, and hurriedly apologized: "General, everything is a misunderstanding, I thought that the general and the rebels were all the way!" As he spoke, he immediately saluted Xu Huang: "General, there are many offences in the bottom!" ”
First, Xu Huang has an open-minded temperament, and secondly, Pang De's martial arts are really admirable, and the two do not know each other at the moment, so they resolved the misunderstanding and shook hands under the mediation of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun saw that Pang De's martial arts made Xu Huang difficult to parry, and he couldn't help but have the intention of soliciting, and hurriedly persuaded: "Strong man, I think it's a pity that you are in the mountains and wilderness with your martial arts, why don't you follow General Lu Bu of Bingzhou to make contributions together?" Zhao Yun's shot just now made Pang De feel that his martial arts must be above him, so heroes are loyal to Lu Bu, he is really curious about Lu Bu, seeing that Ma Chao has entered the city safely, he immediately agreed: "Okay, then I will go with the general to meet General Lu!" ”
Under Wuwei City, Li Wenhou shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" Unfortunately, no one in the city responded.
"Lord, I don't think something is right!" Before Song Yang's words fell, a rain of arrows was immediately shot on the city, Li Wenhou himself shouted, the arrow fell off the horse, and the guards around him desperately snatched back the formation, Han Sui Song Yang looked up and found that the banner of the word "Lu" had been erected on the city wall of Wuwei, and a young general under it wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown, wearing a beast-faced swallowing head chain armor, and his waist was tied with a delicate lion belt, holding a Lingbao bow in his palm against the banner in his army is an arrow, watching the banner fall in response, the general of the city laughed and said: "General Lu Bu, who assassinated Shi Fenwei in the state, We've been waiting for a long time! As he spoke, many archers appeared in the city, and they shot at the Xiliang army.
"General, the situation is unfavorable to us, and it is the best policy to quickly lead the troops to retreat to Jincheng!" Song Yang rushed to Han Sui's side with two arrows in the rain of arrows, and Han Sui lost his general, Yan Xing naturally did not dare to fight again, and immediately led the whole army to retreat to Jincheng. Lu Bu in the city shouted: "Soldiers, go back to drinking!" ”
In the early morning of this day, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang arrived first with more than 10,000 cavalry, and when they heard that Lu Bu surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, not only relieved the siege of Chang'an, but also took advantage of the situation to take Wuwei, Pang De immediately fell to the ground and swore allegiance to Lu Bu. Before long, Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, and Ma Teng, with a total of 90,000 troops, marched into Wuwei, and the forces of the five families were almost equal at this time, and Lu Bu thought it was time to launch a counteroffensive.
In the Chinese military tent, several generals who received Lu Bu's invitation walked in at one time, and the first one was the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency, Beidi Taishou Huangfu Song. I saw that he was full of white hair, his beard fluttering, and he had to go into battle to kill at such an age, it was really difficult for him, the two sides exchanged a few words, and the second Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian walked in.
Seeing Sun Jian's left arm wrapped in a bandage, Lu Bu hurriedly said: "General Sun was seriously injured in a series of rushes, Lu Bu was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know how the general's injuries were, so he specially brought healing medicine from Bingzhou to give to the general. Sun Jian saw that Lu Bu was running thousands of miles to win without being arrogant, and couldn't help but feel a little more good about him, and hurriedly said: "How dare the general of the defeated army greet General Lao in person, ashamed and ashamed." Lu Bu arranged for the two to sit in their seats, and the guards served tea.
After a while, the newly appointed Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng walked in with the second son Ma Tie and the third son Ma Xiu, and Lu Bu got up and welcomed: "The general has worked hard to support the northwest battle situation in Chang'an this time, and he is bowed by Lu Bu!" Ma Teng was flattered and helped Lu Bu up: "It should be General Shoucheng Xie's life-saving grace." Seeing that there were only two sons standing behind Ma Teng, Lu Bu was puzzled: "General, people say that the Ma family has three sons and one daughter, all heroes and heroes, why only two people are seen today!" Ma Teng said embarrassedly: "It's a shame to say that the eldest son Ma Chao fought in Chang'an yesterday, and his young daughter Ma Yunluo was captured due to his lack of experience, but fortunately he was rescued by General Zhao Yun of your department. Lu Bu nodded: "Even so, Feng Xian will go to see Jin Ma Chao in person later!" ”
"General!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Huang ran in in a panic outside the door: "Report to the general, General Zhao caught a few soldiers who were molesting women on the street, those soldiers were Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and now Dong Zhuo came to the door to ask the general for someone!" Hearing that the fat man Dong, who had been infamous for thousands of years in later generations, was coming, Lu Bu was interested, he really wanted to see what this executioner who completely pushed the Han Dynasty to a dead end looked like!
