In front of the Two Wolves Mountain, after five days and five nights of fast horses, more than 300 people from Chahantai finally arrived at the Han border. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Phew!" With a long neighing of the war horse, Wuli Kunyi stood up and happily said to Chahantai with a sad face beside him: "Brother, we have left the border of the Han Dynasty, and dozens of miles further forward is the territory of our Huns, be happy!" Seeing the eldest brother galloping around heartlessly, Chahantai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Suddenly, a flock of geese flew out of a dense forest in front of him, and Wuli Kunyi waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Warriors, I haven't hunted for a long time, go, take a bow and arrow and this prince to hunt geese!" As he spoke, he took the lead in holding his bow and arrows and galloped towards the woods.

Chahatai, who was keen-natured, suddenly smelled a hint of danger in the air, and he quickly turned his brain to recall the knowledge that his father Khan had taught him: when marching and fighting, if you encounter a dense forest, remember to think twice before acting, if the birds do not enter the forest, there will be an ambush in the forest! "Not good!" Chahantai shouted, "Come back, there is an ambush!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the neighing of war horses in front of him, and Chahantai saw thousands of war horses carrying fierce cavalry rushing towards him from a distance.

"Warriors, charge with me!" The belligerent Wuli Kunyi has suffered a lot of humiliation in the past few days, and it is rare to have a chance to vent, regardless of the persuasion of his own soldiers, he grabbed a mace from his entourage and rushed forward with a roar, and the more than 200 guards behind him did not dare to be careless, and each picked up his weapon and followed closely behind Wuli Kunyi. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was not more than a hundred paces, Chahantai was surprised to find that the other party did not pull out the war knife at his waist but took out the hard crossbow from the saddle, and a bad thought flashed in Chahantai's mind: No, this is Xianbei's elite horse.

Sure enough, in the chaotic crowd, Chahantai saw the one-armed Yan Liyang and the angry Kequ. I saw Kequ wave his big hand, and thousands of crossbow arrows shot head-on at the Hun prince Wuli Kunyi, who was rushing to the front. At the moment when Chahantai's tears burst out of his eyes, the unsuspecting Wuli Kunyi was shot into a hornet's nest and staggered and fell under the horse.

The remaining more than 100 Xiongnu elite horsemen surrounded Chahantai in the middle, and Chahantai's eyes were almost spewing fire into Kequ, and he scolded: "Old horseman, I can't imagine that you are treacherous and secretly attack your allies, you are not worthy of being a warrior of the grassland!" Ke Qu did not show weakness and sneered: "It's really a thief shouting to catch a thief, didn't you secretly send a fine work to take the Flying Eagle Order to tell Lu Bu?" As he spoke, he threw the two eagle orders in front of Chahantai. What the? Looking at the two Flying Eagle Orders, remembering that the eldest brother had told him that the Flying Eagle Orders were taken away by Lu Bu, Chahantai was stunned, and seeing this stunned scene, Yan Liyang sneered: "How is it? His Royal Highness the Prince? I didn't expect you to have today! ”

Chahantai closed his eyes in despair, he didn't expect Lu Bu's move to drive the tiger and devour the wolf so viciously, looking at the approaching Xianbei war horse, Chahantai understood that no matter what he said now, it was useless, from the moment Kequ led his troops to leave Luoyang first, the time he survived in this world had entered the countdown. At this moment, he was determined to lead his battle-hardened subordinates in a final charge.

I saw Chahantai raise his spear and say to Kequ: "Pifu, you don't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? Do you think that the Huns are dead, and you Xianbei are the overlords of the grassland? Do you think that our Hun warriors are afraid of death? Okay, today I'll show you the heroism of the steppe warriors! Warriors, charge with me! The remnants of the cavalry shouted and rushed towards the Xianbei war cavalry who were waiting for the battle, looking at the crazy Chahantai, Yan Liyang sneered and said, "Throw!" "In the light of the setting sun, thousands of crossbow arrows roared towards Chahantai.

Emperor Guangping of the Han Dynasty in the middle of October of the fourth year, Xianbei Khan Kequ suddenly sent troops to intercept and kill the Xiongnu convoy, the Xiongnu prince Wuli Kunyi, the second prince Chahantai was killed in battle, the three hundred elite cavalry of the department were killed together, the Xiongnu Da Dan died of illness in three days after the Qiang Canal rushed to attack the heart, Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo succeeded him as the new Shan Yu, and the next day led 100,000 wolves to ride eastward in the vast grassland and Xianbei tens of thousands of elite cavalry killed a dark day, three days later, the two sides withdrew their troops, such a headless public case ended after both sides paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties.

And the state office, Jinyang, assassin Shi Ding Yuan and Yangwu captain Zhang Liao are leading the guards to inspect the city defense.

"My lord, I heard that General Lu defeated the seven great warriors in the Qianyuan Hall and was named the general of Fenwei, and His Majesty also married the princess of Wannian to the general. Zhang Liao said to Ding Yuan while inspecting the city fortifications. Ding Yuan stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Feng Xian is a hero in the world, and he deserves this honor!" As he spoke, Ding Yuan heard a burst of laughter and scolding from the city tower in front of him.

Zhang Liao summoned one of the guards and asked, "Who is on duty tonight?" The guards clasped their fists and replied, "It's General Song Xian and General Wei Xu." Ding Yuan flicked his sleeves and said: "Wenyuan, go with the old man to have a look!" ”

"it!" Song Xian knocked on the table and urged Wei Xu, the captain of Wuwei who was sitting next to him, only to see Wei Xu drink it all after picking up the wine bowl, and said to Song Xian unremittingly: "See, Brother Song Xian!" When it comes to drinking, you can't! Song Xian was a little unconvinced: "Who said that, come again!" As he spoke, he picked up the jar and was about to pour wine, when he heard the door "Knock!" With a kick open, I saw Ding Yuan and Zhang Liao standing at the door with more than a dozen guards, looking at themselves angrily.

Thousands of torches on the school field made the night as bright as day, and Song Xian and Wei Xu **** screamed from time to time in the counting sound of the executive behind them. After a while, the flesh and blood behind the two were blurred, and Zhang Liao, the captain of Yangwu, stepped forward and said: "Tell your lordship, Song Xian and Wei Xu are negligent and drunk and greedy, and the last general has beaten forty military sticks per person according to the military order, and the execution has now been completed, please show me!" ”

Ding Yuan walked to the sergeants with a solemn face, sighed, and said hatefully: "All the troops know that the previous Southern Xiongnu came to attack, all because of the negligence and slackness of the Yulin guards, which led to the fall of the city pass, and tens of thousands of people were humiliated by the Huns. And today, there are still people who don't care, and they are careless and drunk when they are on duty, and they are really vain as Han soldiers! Speaking of this, Ding Yuan lowered his head and glared at Song Xian and Wei Xu angrily: "For the sake of your fight against the Huns the day before yesterday, your head old man will write it down for the time being, if you dare to commit it again in the future, you will not be spared!" ”

Song Xian faced down on the bed, smashed the medicine bowl in his hand on the ground, and said hatefully to Wei Xu, who was also lying on the bed: "Ding Yuan, this old horseman, actually poisoned you and me next time, that Gao Shun Cao lost Yulinguan and didn't hurt his hair, and that Lu Bu, how long has he been in the army?" In less than a month, he sat down to General Fenwei, and our brother is just a lieutenant after so many years! It's just that after drinking a few glasses of wine, he was beaten all over his body, Ding Yuan Lao'er is so unfair in reward and punishment, this revenge will not be avenged, I Song Xian swears not to be a person. When Wei continued to hear this, he retreated left and right, and whispered to Song Xian: "Brother Song Xian, junior brother heard that the Southern Xiongnu broke a lot of soldiers and horses in a big fight on the grassland because of the death of the two princes and Xianbei a few days ago. ”

Listening to Wei Xu's words, Song Xian couldn't help but be moved, but when he thought of the previous Xiongnu being beaten so embarrassed by the Bingzhou army, Song Xian couldn't help but worry: "Having said that, but we made the Huns suffer a lot before, what if they don't allow us to join?" When Wei Xu heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and suddenly a trace of murderous intent crossed his eyes, and he said to Song Xian in a gloomy manner: "No poison, no husband, we might as well take Ding Yuan's head and go to Yu Fuluo, he will definitely accept us and others!" "Good! Without further ado, while Lu Bu Gaoshun has not yet returned, and there is only Zhang Liao in Bingzhou, forgive him for being invincible with two fists and four hands, I will immediately call the deputy general Hou Cheng to discuss the plan of action, Brother Wei Xu, you are responsible for contacting the Huns, let's do it in two days! ”

Lu Bu rode on Dawan's horse and walked at the front of the army to open the way. For some reason, Lu Bu has been feeling restless for the past few days, as if something big is about to happen. Cheng Lian beside him raised his head and drank a sip of water, and when he saw Lu Bu absent-mindedly, he couldn't help asking, "General, what's wrong?" This Chahantai and Wuli Kunyi are dead, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are also defeated, I am afraid that they will not be able to go south in a short time, what are you worried about? ”

Lu Bu looked at Cheng Lian, stood up on Da Wanma, turned to Cheng Lian and said, "Go and call the two gentlemen." Cheng Lian retreated, and after a while, Xun You Chen Gong rode two horses to Lu Bu's side.

After listening to Lu Bu's explanation, Xun You touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and then said: "The general has only been in the army for a month, but he has been valued by the superiors. Chen Gong also answered: "If they secretly collude with the Hu people outside the Guanguan again, I am afraid that it will cause the disaster of Jiuyuan City again!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he sighed that the two think tanks had far-reaching insight and couldn't help but worry about the situation in Bingzhou, although he was sure that Zhang Liao's martial arts could suppress the generals of Bingzhou, but when he thought of Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng making stumbling behind Xiapi's back to move to the old boss, Lu Bu's neck was cold, if it was the three of them...... Lu Bu didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he immediately ordered Gao Shun to sit in the Chinese army, Cheng Lian to protect Xun You and Chen Gong, and quickly left the brigade and went straight to Jinyang, Bingzhou!

Two days later, Song Xian Wei continued to **** and knelt in the courtyard of the Thorn History Mansion with thorns on his back.

"My lord, the last general and other previous negligence almost made a big mistake, and today I am here to apologize to Lord Thorn Shi!" The two of them kowtowed to Ding Yuan with tears streaming down their faces. As the saying goes, "The prodigal son does not change his money when he looks back." Ding was originally a loyal and upright person, seeing that the two of them wept silently and went to the house to apologize, and beat the two of them with forty military sticks before, so he no longer scolded them too much, so he helped the two of them up, and comforted: "The two generals know that they can change their mistakes, and they are very good, even if this matter is in the past, they must take this as a warning in the future, and remember not to do it again!" ”

The three of them said a few more words, and suddenly saw the newly appointed Fengwu Captain Cao Xing walking quickly up to the hall to play a report: "Report to Lord Shi, Xingning Village, thirty miles outside the city, was besieged by more than 100 bandits. After listening to Cao Xing's report, Song Xian and Wei Xu exchanged glances, and immediately asked Ding Yuan for his life: "My lord, we are willing to make meritorious service and send troops to Xingning Village to eliminate the bandits!" ”

Ding Yuan smiled and patted the shoulders of the two, and said: "The two generals are seriously injured and have not recovered, so it is not suitable to go on the expedition, General Cao, you and General Zhang Liao will go to suppress the thieves with a thousand city defense troops!" Seeing Cao Xing retreat, Song Xian couldn't help but be overjoyed for a while, and then said to Ding Yuan: "My lord, there are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jinyang at the moment, and General Zhang took half of them away at once. Seeing that Song Xian was polite, Ding Yuan did not refute it, and replied after a little hesitation: "Okay, just do what you want!" An hour later, Zhang Liao led a thousand soldiers and horses out of the city and headed west, while Hou Cheng quickly entered Jinyang with his headquarters and took over the fortresses very smoothly with the handwriting of the assassin history.

Zhang Liao led the army halfway, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he couldn't help but turn to Cao Xuan beside him and said: "General Cao, the appearance of these bandits is too abrupt, besides, just a few hundred people dare to attack the state administration office so blatantly, isn't this going to their own death!" Listening to Zhang Liao's question, Cao Xing's heart also began to mutter, and he said leisurely: "General Zhang is very right, yesterday he also took 500 cavalry to inspect the surroundings of Jinyang, and did not find anything wrong, why did more than 100 bandits appear out of thin air today?" ”

Zhang Liao reined in his war horse and asked carefully, "General Cao, when you reported the military situation to your lordship, who were there around your lord?" Cao Xuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "I remember that at that time, only General Song Xian and General Wei Xu were by the side of the adults, and they also asked the adults for orders to lead troops to suppress the bandits!" "Song Xian, Wei Xu......" muttered softly a few times, Zhang Liao still felt that something was wrong, and at this moment, the scout in front came to report: "Inform the two generals that the bandits besieging Xingning Village have escaped into the mountains and disappeared."

"Not good!" The situation in front of him made Zhang Liao think of the worst result - Song Xian and Wei Xu were going to mutiny! didn't have time to think about it, Zhang Liao hurriedly ordered the rear team of the army to change to the front team, and quickly returned to Jinyang. Cao Xing was puzzled and said, "General, why do you think that Song Xian and Wei Xu are going to mutiny?" Zhang Liao said anxiously while galloping on his horse: "These bandits besieging Xingning Village is just a bait, Song Xian Wei Xu has just received a military stick, and the seriously injured adults will definitely not let them lead the troops to the battle, and we have just reached the halfway point These bandits escaped into the mountains, which shows that they are trying to lure us out of Jinyang." Hearing Zhang Liao say this, even a fool can understand the reason, Cao Xing whipped the war horse fiercely, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "This is bad, then Song Xian's subordinate Hou Cheng still has a thousand elite horsemen stationed outside the city!" ”

In the Assassin's Mansion, Song Xian sat on a chair, looking at Ding Yuan, who was angry and angry in the hall, Song Xian couldn't help but be arrogant: "Ding Yuan, I didn't expect you to have today, right?" ”

Ding Yuan scolded angrily: "Shameless villain, eat Junlu in vain, what face do you still have to live in this world?" When Wei Xu heard this, he stepped forward and kicked Ding Yuan to the ground, and said viciously: "Old horseman, what kind of official power do you put on when you are dying?" To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu has had enough of it, so he will kill you, and carry your head to the Huns to enjoy the glory and wealth! Song Xian didn't seem to bother to talk nonsense with this dying man anymore, and waved his hand: "Left and right, drag this old puppet down and behead it to show the public!" ”

Ding Yuan broke free from the two executioners beside him, and said fearlessly: "I will go by myself, Song Xian, Wei Xu, remember my words, you will definitely not survive tonight, the old man is waiting for you below!" Standing on the high platform, looking at the people of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan laughed loudly: "What is there to fear about life and death, another life in the blink of an eye, hahaha!" Amid the cries of tens of thousands of people, the executioner raised the ghost-headed knife and slashed it down.

Zhang Liao, who rushed to the front, suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, but fortunately, Cao Xing's hand was quick to support him, otherwise Zhang Liao might have fallen off the horse!

The scout in front of him came with a tear-stained fast horse, choked up and said to the two: "Tell the two generals that Song Xianwei continued to mutiny and occupied Jinyang, and Lord Ding has been killed!" "Report!" Before the words fell, another scout rushed over: "Tell the two generals, Song Xianwei continued to meet the deputy general Hou Cheng, and rode out of Jinyang with a thousand spirits and went straight to the north!" When Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but breathe fire in his eyes, only to hear an angry shout, picked up the Yellow Dragon Hook and Sickle, and urged the war horse to roll up a puff of dust and go straight to the north!

Song Xian carried Ding Yuan's head, and said to Hou Cheng, the deputy general beside him: "How about it, I said that it is right to follow me, then, with the head of this old horseman, our brothers can eat and drink spicy food when they arrive in the Huns!" Hahaha! Just as he was proud, Houjun Wei Xu rushed over and said anxiously: "Oh no, Brother Song Xian!" Zhang Liao chased after him! "What's the panic!" Song Xian hung Ding Yuan's head next to the saddle, picked up the Kaishan Yue and replied, "Haven't you heard that Shuangquan is invincible with four hands? That Zhang Liao has some means, but we have more than 1,000 people, and we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with him? Let's go, come with me! ”

Before the words fell, only a whoosh, the deputy general Hou Cheng next to him fell in response, and everyone followed the sound to look, only to see a young general not far away wearing a beast-faced swallowing head chain armor, dancing Fang Tian painting halberd and said sharply: "General Fenwei Lu Bu is here!" ”
