(16) Ma Mengqi fought against Yan Xing, and Li Wenhou advanced to Chang'an
After taking care of his wife and children to sleep, Tian Feng walked quickly to the main hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Tian Feng arrive, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, who were drinking tea in the moon, hurriedly put down their teacups and got up to greet each other: "Sir, who is still safe in the family?" When Tian Feng heard this, he knelt down on his knees and gave a big salute to the two: "Thank you two heroes for saving me, if the two heroes hadn't arrived in time today, the current situation would be unpredictable." ”
The two hurriedly helped Tian Feng up, and Lu Bu comforted: "Lord Tian is upright, who in the world doesn't know?" When he heard that Lord Tian had abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, he was worried that Zhang Rang's party would secretly kill him, so he specially rushed to the rescue for hundreds of miles. Listening to Lu Bu's words, not only Tian Feng was even more moved, but even Zhao Yun admired his eldest brother more and more, and couldn't help but sigh: "My brother is in a high position, but he can travel hundreds of miles for a person he doesn't know, and sacrifice himself to save him, he is really a hero in the world." ”
"Zilong is too famous!" Lu Bu smiled and thought in his heart: I didn't expect that I was quite talented in acting! In the 21st century, he will definitely be an actor! Seeing Tian Feng's absent-minded look, Lu Bu temporarily stopped thinking and said to him, "Brother Yuan Hao, what's wrong?" Is there something that bothers you? Tian Feng sighed and said to Lu Bu: "Hero, you don't know anything. It was precisely because he hated the Ten Standing Servants for disturbing the government and the people, and repeatedly played His Majesty without a reply for a long time, that he resigned in anger. Originally, I planned to go to my old friend Jizhou not to drive frustration and frustration, but now it seems that no matter where I flee, I can't escape the pursuit of the ten permanent servants! ”
Seeing this, Zhao Yun didn't wait for Lu Bu to speak, so he enlightened Tian Feng and said: "Brother Yuan Hao's words are wrong, no matter how powerful the ten permanent servants are, they may not be able to reach the sky with their hands and eyes, and there is a good place to go now." As he spoke, Zhao Yun pointed at Lu Bu and continued: "Who in the world doesn't know about my brother's killing of eunuchs in Luoyang? Even Zhang Rang, that old fellow, could only swallow his anger in front of my brother. Now that my brother is a feudal official of the Assassin History of Bingzhou, the Ten Standing Servants dare not touch my brother at all! Why don't Yuan Hao go to Bingzhou and do some errand under my brother! ”
"Oh? Unexpectedly, the hero is actually a person in a high position, and he hasn't asked the two heroes for their names? After a busy afternoon, Tian Feng remembered that he hadn't asked the names of the two at this time. Lu Bu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "I can't hide it, in the next is the history of the assassination of the state, the general of Fenwei Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, this is my sworn brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong!" Hearing Lu Bu's name, Tian Feng couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face: "It turns out that the hero is Lu Bu, the general who broke the Huns, defeated Xianbei, and beheaded the eunuchs on the street!" Lu Bu grinned: Another one who worships me because of the killing of eunuchs, it seems that I really have to thank Xun Yu for this kid when I go back to Bingzhou!
"Yuan Hao, I intend to ask Mr. to serve as my governor and the state driver to benefit the people in the frontier, I don't know what Mr. wants?" Lu Bu, who caught the admiration in Tian Feng's eyes, immediately took advantage of the victory and said in pursuit. I saw Tian Feng bowing deeply at Lu Bu, and said without hesitation: "A person who is wandering and rootless, how dare General Meng refuse if he does not give up his high position?" I am willing to do my best to serve under the command of the general with all my life's learning, and go to the soup and fire, and do not give up! "Although he lost his frustration, but the purpose of recruiting Zhao Yuntian Feng, the supreme combination of Wen and Wu, Lu Bu's trip, can be regarded as achieved, because the reform of the state is imminent, and there are tens of thousands of wolf horsemen in the north to watch, Lu Bu does not dare to stay outside, and immediately agreed with the two to return to the state the next day!
A few days later, Lu Bu and his entourage of more than ten people returned to Jinyang, the state governance office. It has been more than a month since he went out, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have already completed their recruitment, and the trap camp created by Gao Shun and Chen Gong has also begun to take shape. Of course, Xun You was not idle, and took Cheng Lian Cao and thousands of cavalry to check all the places in the state where there were bandits, and replaced a large number of civil and military officials, so that Lu Bu almost jumped into the air. He did not dare to say more, and immediately began to reform various matters. Lu Bu first appointed Zhao Yun as the captain of Huwei, and assisted himself in commanding tens of thousands of horses in the No. 3 defense area, and at the same time transferred Cheng Lian back to Jinyang to command the entire city defense army in Bingzhou, and appointed Xu Huang as the captain of Zhenwu to garrison Jiuyuan City.
There is nothing to say, and the situation in Bingzhou is stabilized, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the rotten Han Dynasty is a piece of fat mutton in the eyes of all ethnic groups outside the Guan, no matter who wants to pounce on it and take a bite, at this time Liangzhou, which is thousands of miles away from Bingzhou, a large net woven by conspiracy is slowly covering the sky over Liangzhou.
In Wuwei County, Xiliang, a 14-year-old boy danced the spear in his hand on the school field.
I saw that this young man's face was like Fu powder, his lips were like smearing Zhu, his waist was thin and his shoulders were wide, and his voice was full of strength and strength, and he was a good general's blank. I saw the young man shake the spear in his hand, and with a loud shout, he plunged the spear into a scarecrow in front of him. The young man suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and saw that between the lightning and flint, the young man turned around and firmly held a crossbow arrow that was shot into the back of his heart. Looking at the Yanling arrow that had cut off the cluster of arrows in his hand, the young man shook his head with a smile and turned around and shouted, "Yunluo, if you don't come out again, I will go to arrest you." ”
I only heard a pure laughter like a mountain spring from behind the weapon rack: "Brother Meng Qi, I didn't expect your martial arts to progress so fast." I saw a girl about 12 years old holding a hard bow and looking at the boy with a smile, the young man came forward with a doting face, and asked with concern: "The weather is so hot and it still comes out, beware of heat stroke!" As he spoke, he patted his sister's little head lovingly.
The man and woman in front of him are not idle people, the young man is Ma Chaobiao, the eldest son of Sima Ma Teng of Wuwei Army, and the girl is Ma Yunluo, the youngest daughter of Ma Teng. Ma Teng served in the Liangzhou Army when he was young, and Meng Yuelao was fortunate to marry the beautiful Qiang Hu female general Yi Yun'er, and the two had three sons and one daughter, which was enviable. Probably because of the influence of their parents who are military generals, these three sons and one daughter are all keen on the battlefield, and their talents are excellent, especially the eldest son Ma Chao was eleven years old and followed his father to fight on the battlefield with a silver spear dance.
Speaking of the little sister of the Ma family, Ma Yunluo, she is even more of a woman, not only inheriting the genes of her mother's beauty, but also outstanding marksmanship, skilled in archery and horse, and the entire Wuwei, except for the eldest brother Ma Chao, even his father Ma Teng can't beat him.
I saw Ma Yunluo take out a porcelain bowl from the wooden box he carried and put it in front of Ma Chao: "Brother Meng Qi, do you also know that the weather is hot?" Try the sour plum soup I made! Quench your thirst and cool off, don't say it's not delicious. When Ma Chao heard this, he shook his head helplessly, picked up the porcelain bowl and drank it all, and before he could speak, he saw his cousin Ma Dai panting and running over: "Brother Meng Qi, it's not good, Han Sui is here!" Led by the two brothers, it is almost in front of the house! Hearing Han Sui's name, Ma Chao couldn't help but show murderous anger and his eyes were on fire, only to see him slam the porcelain bowl on the ground and turn around and pick up the spear from the weapon: "It's a good time, I didn't expect this old horseman to send it to the door by himself!" As he spoke, ignoring the obstruction of his sister and cousin, he strode towards the Thorn Mansion.
This Han Sui was originally Ma Teng's sworn brother, the two had their own friendship, and Ma Chao had to call him "uncle" according to his generation, why did Ma Chao become murderous when he heard Han Sui's name now? It all started three years ago!
Three years ago, Ma Chao was eleven years old, which was the first battle he went out with his father. At that time, 20,000 Qiang soldiers besieged Xihai City, Xihai City Captain Li Wenhou ordered three beacons to ask for help, Ma Teng was ordered to lead more than 10,000 troops to support, at that time Ma Chao's mother Yi Yuner had just given birth to Ma Yunluo and was too weak to accompany the army, so she stayed in Wuwei. Before the army set off, at the gate of the city, his mother Yi Yun'er put a jade ring on Ma Chao's neck and told him to be careful when he went into battle.
As soon as the Wuwei army arrived on the battlefield, it immediately entered the battle, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, the Qiang army suddenly divided into two routes and continued to entangle the Han army with a small force, and the main force detoured to Wuwei to attack the city. Originally, there was no accident as long as the city of Wuwei was high, but Han Sui, who joined the army, had to open the city gate to fight, and as a result, the whole army was outnumbered, and the Qiang army took advantage of the situation to attack Wuwei. The number of troops in the city was limited, and Yi Yun'er put on armor and started street battles with the enemy army despite her physical weakness. In the end, because the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, he died in front of the city gate. Although Ma Teng forgave Han Sui after that, Ma Chao was haunted by his mother's death, and he thought that if Han Sui had not attacked blindly, Wuwei would not have fallen, and his mother would not have died on the battlefield.
In front of the Ma Mansion, Han Sui had just dismounted and exchanged a few words with Ma Tie Ma Xiu, when he heard a burst of angry shouts not far away, and saw Ma Chao rushing towards him angrily with a spear.
"Meng Qixian's nephew, how are you doing?" Han Sui asked with a smile, helplessly putting a hot face on his cold buttocks, only to hear Ma Chao scold angrily: "Old thief, you still have the face to come to see my father, have you forgotten how my mother died?" As soon as these words came out, the expression on Han Sui's face couldn't help but freeze, and everyone didn't expect Ma Chao to be so open-mouthed, even if he wanted to scold, at least he was subtle, just when everyone was stunned, they saw a big man walking out of behind Han Sui and pointing at Ma Chao and scolding: "Huangkou Xiao'er is so rude, it seems that I, Yan Xing, am going to clean up the portal for General Ma!" ”
Hearing Yan Xing say this, everyone knew that this matter had to be a big deal. According to Ma Chao's character, how can he not be angry when he hears such contemptuous remarks? Sure enough, before Han Sui scolded Yan Xing to retreat, Ma Chao shouted, picked up the spear and stabbed it in Yan Xing's chest, Yan Xing was also a battlefield general, and the warlike heart that Ma Chao had long wanted to fight with him was completely aroused at this moment, only to see him dodge the spear in the hand of the entourage guard, jumped back, and held the spear stabbed by Ma Chao.
On the side, Ma Yunluo saw that the two of them were attacking each other's vital points, and he couldn't help but become anxious, and hurriedly called his cousin Ma Dai softly, ordering him to immediately go to his father Ma Teng, who was training in the south of the city, to come back to stop this senseless fight.
With a "bang", the two guns collided violently, and the loud sound that shook everyone present couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in their eardrums, and they covered their ears with their hands. Looking at Ma Chao's unmoved figure, Yan Xing, who took a few steps back, couldn't help but be secretly surprised: This kid has so much strength, just one shot shocked my arms numb, this "Jin Ma Chao" is really worthy of its name! Ma Chao pointed a spear at Yan Xing with a slightly arrogant attitude, and said with a slight appreciation: "Yes, since my debut, you are the only one who can catch my shot." Immediately, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Ma Chao's eyes, and there was a slight sound of joint friction in his clenched fists: "Next, it's not so easy!" As he spoke, he shook the red tassel in the air in a big circle, and the sharp tip of the spear stabbed straight at Yan Xing's eyebrows.
Knowing Ma Chao's power, Yan Xing didn't dare to be careless, so he used his housekeeping skills and hit him horizontally. Ma Chao's spear tip was pushed away, and he immediately stepped forward and drew an arc of the spear in the air, and the sharp tip hit Yan Xing's horizontal barrel, and with a crisp sound, the barrel of the spear was broken in two. The powerful impact force pushed Yan Xing back a few steps away again, Yan Xing, who lost his center of gravity, had to hold on to a few pro-soldiers behind him to barely stand firm, Ma Chao took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the spear in his hand once again delivered a spear flower straight to Yan Xing's chest, seeing that the spear was about to break through the armor and penetrate Yan Xing's chest, Ma Chao suddenly felt a huge resistance in front of him, and firmly held his spear in front of Yan Xing's chest. Ma Chao raised his head and just wanted to be angry, but he was slapped with a loud slap in the face, only to hear the person in front of him shouting: "Rebel, don't mess around!" I won't give you Uncle Wenyue to admit his mistake! ”
Seeing that it was his father, Ma Chao, who was filial by nature, naturally put down the spear in his hand, but he was unwilling to apologize to Han Sui, which provoked Ma Teng to be furious, and he slapped his head and face a few times: "Rebel, even dare not listen to my words!" I'm going to kill you today, lest you get me into more trouble in the future!" As he spoke, he casually pulled out the saber at his waist, which frightened Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and Ma Yunluo and quickly knelt in front of Ma Teng and begged for mercy for Ma Chao.
"Father, I look down on you!" I only heard Ma Chao say angrily, "Obviously, this person killed his mother, but you deliberately indulged him again and again, how can you let your mother rest under Jiuquan?" Good! If you don't kill him, I'll kill him today, and after killing him, I'll go to my mother! As he spoke, he raised his spear and was about to stab Han Sui again, but Ma Dai quickly grabbed Ma Chao and persuaded him bitterly. Ma Teng angrily pushed away Ma Xiu Ma Tie, who was pulling him, pointed at Ma Chao and said: "Rebel, I told you a long time ago that your mother's death has nothing to do with Wen Yue, how many times do you want me to say it!" Ma Chao saw that his father blindly favored Han Sui, and the thoughts and regrets for his mother in his heart turned into anger at this moment, and he threw himself at his father: "Ma Shoucheng! You coward, how much did Mother pay for you? But you don't even dare to kill an enemy! ”
"Smack!" Another resounding slap, the corners of Ma Chao's mouth were cracked, Ma Teng didn't expect his slaps to be so bad, and looked at Ma Chao who was oozing blood from the corners of his mouth and stayed in place. Ma Chao's tears couldn't stop flowing, at this moment he was extremely disappointed in the man his father had admired since childhood, only to see him wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, turn over and jump on a white horse and still said to Ma Teng with a murderous face: "Ma Shoucheng, you can be so ruthless for this arrogant person, I Ma Chao does not have a father like you!" With that, Ma Chao rode his horse and ran out of the city, and Ma Chao's angry voice echoed in the air: "Han Wenyue, I, Ma Chao, swear here today that I will take your head to comfort my mother's spirit in the sky in my lifetime!" ”
Looking at Ma Chao, who was gone, the corners of Ma Teng's eyes burst into tears, he couldn't help but cry and turned to Han Sui and said: "Wen Yue, don't be like this rebel, go, you and my brother have a few drinks!" ”
Xihai City, Liangzhou who came to inspect the city defense engaged in Bian Yun and Han Rang said to Li Wenhou, the Taishou of Xihai beside him, with satisfaction: "My lord has lived in the border for many years and worked hard for the country, and it is really hard. “
Li Wenhou clenched his fists with a gloomy face and said, "In this way, thank you so much!" As he spoke, he gave Beigong Boyu, the captain beside him, Beigong Boyu nodded with a clenched waist knife, turned around and walked down the city wall. Before he could catch his breath, Li Wenhou heard Bian Yun say: "My lord, this official heard that you have trained a group of singers, all of whom are Qianghu women, can you let this official see it!" As he spoke, the serious Bian Yun couldn't help licking his tongue. Li Wenhou frowned and despised Bian Yun in his heart, and replied: "Your Excellency has a life, but the last general will dare to disobey?" Please! ”
Maybe Bian Yun didn't notice that the three hundred guards he brought were being taken by the city defense army led by Beigong Boyu to the barracks full of wine and food not far outside the city.
"Good, good!" Bian Yun laughed, raised his wine glass with his left hand, drank a glass of spirits, and held the hot and sexy Qianghu beauty in his right hand and exclaimed, "The girl's dancing is really beautiful!" Come, have a drink with the officer! The casual Han Rang was already lying on the table unconscious under the repeated persuasion of several beauties! Li Wenhou outside the house smiled proudly: "Drink it, drink it, the higher you drink, the better, it's best to sleep again, wait for you to wake up, hehe, this Liangzhou is my Li Wenhou's!" ”
In the military camp outside the city, Beigong Boyu, who was covered in blood, looked at the three hundred corpses lying in front of him, turned around and raised the big knife in his hand: "Warriors, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has no way, he favors the eunuchs and ignores the government, and the people are already living in dire straits, so we don't need to work for him, you all go back to the city with me, let's support Lord Li Wenhou as the lord together, and be free in Liangzhou!" The nearly 1,000 city defense troops present shouted together, and they all knocked down the military flags with Chinese characters written on them, brandished their weapons and rushed to Xihai City behind Beigong Boyu.
In the middle of the night, Li Wenhou, who was wearing dark green armor in the military field of Xihai City School, stood on the high platform with a poisonous dagger and a cold moon blade, and the 10,000 city defense troops in front of him had already lined up in a neat line, all of them were wearing stubborn and murderous heads, standing on the school grounds, waiting for the lord's lecture.
"Warriors, here's our chance!" I saw Li Wenhou raise his arms and shout, and said to more than 10,000 soldiers with great ambition, "When there is no way today, the eunuchs enter the court, chase the virtuous ministers away from home, and pay heavy taxes and levy servitude, and the people of the world have long been miserable. As soon as the words fell, the lieutenants Beigong Boyu and Sima Song Yang raised their waist knives and shouted: "I am willing to serve the general as the lord and go to the soup and fire!" ”
More than 10,000 soldiers in front of them knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "We will swear allegiance to the lord to the death!" Li Wenhou nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Bring them up!" While speaking, the two executioners escorted Bian Yun and Han Rang, who were tied up with five flowers, to the high platform and knelt in front of the army. Li Wenhou pointed to the two people who were drunk and unconscious and said: "These two people are Bian Yun and Han Rang who were sent by Xiliang Taishou Zuochang to inspect, and their evil deeds must have been known to you. As he spoke, the poisonous dagger Cold Moon Blade in his hand was already held high above the heads of the two of them......
In July of the fifth year of Emperor Guangping of the Han Dynasty, Li Wenhou, the Taishou of Xihai City in Xiliang, killed Liangzhou to engage in Bian Yun and Han Rang gathered more than 10,000 people to rebel, with Beigong Boyu as the general, Song Yang as the army and division and sent Jincheng to Jincheng, and Qiang Wang Ye did not send his brother Ye Yuan to lead 30,000 Qiang soldiers with the general Liang Yuanbi as the vanguard, and Li Wenhou formed a coalition of 40,000 troops to storm Jincheng day and night.
And the state, Yulin Pass.
"Zilong, Gongming. How's your harvest? "Lu Bu took a thousand guards and escorted three thousand war horses to meet Zhao Yun and Xu Huang under Yulin Pass.
Zhao Yun pointed to the endless team behind him: "Brother, Zilong has captured more than 10,000 cattle and sheep from Ding Lingbu. Seeing the achievements of the two, Xu Huang shook his head a little embarrassed: "Gongming can't compare to the two generals, and only captured eight hundred prisoners of war, of which ...... There are also more than six hundred women. ”
"Hahaha!" The two looked up to the sky and laughed, Lu Bu looked at Xu Huang's embarrassed expression, and comforted: "It's okay Gongming, the general is just trying to form a medical force, a combat medical battalion, which is responsible for ambulating the wounded soldiers, just let these six hundred women supplement the establishment!" Speaking of this, Lu Bu suddenly put away his smile and said to Xu Huang seriously: "You must strictly order the soldiers to abide by military discipline, the one that the general hates the most is the rape and plunder!" ”
The three of them returned to Yulin Pass, and before they could sit down for a cup of tea, a scribe walked in and handed Lu Bu an urgent paperwork. Lu Bu casually uncovered the bamboo tube as usual, and was stunned as soon as he spread out the scroll. "How can it be so fast?" Lu Bu secretly pondered, "In this way, wouldn't the Yellow Turban Rebellion start tomorrow in February?" Obviously, at this moment, Lu Bu was not ready to deal with the chaotic times after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he stayed on the spot for a while.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Yun and the others, who had never seen Lu Bu behave like this, were also extremely surprised. After a long time, Lu Bu came back to his senses from the shock: Grandma's, come on! Anyway, I'm not the same Lu Bu as before! Thinking of this, Lu Bu squeezed out a smile and said to everyone: "It's okay, Xiliang Li Wenhou and Qiang Wang Ye Wudai combined an army of 40,000 to storm Jincheng. I just didn't expect that there were any of these Tartars who weren't afraid of death! As soon as these words came out, everyone's doubts were dispelled. I saw Lu Bu stand up and say to everyone: "Leave Cao Xing to guard the border pass, Zilong, Gongming and I will return to Jinyang, and immediately send someone to inform Zhang Liao of Xihe County and Gao Shun of Dingxiang County to join me in Jinyang as soon as possible, especially Gao Shun, let him take the trap camp, and act quickly!" ”
Emperor Guangping of the Han Dynasty in the fifth year, Li Wenhou led the coalition army to break through Jincheng and kill Chen Yi, the captain of Jincheng Han Sui and Bian Zhang led the troops to join the rebels, the vanguard general Liang Yuanbi and Yan Xing relied on the courage of Wanfu and the superior forces to conquer Fei County, Dai Zhang, for a time the rebels were in full swing, and lost the help of the eldest son Ma Chao, Wuwei Captain Ma Teng was forced to give up Wuwei and led his troops to retreat to Chang'an, and the rebels took advantage of the victory to capture Wuwei and forced Chang'an, relying on the courage of Chang'an City Gao Jun and the Ma family's Wuhan army barely stood in Chang'an, Although Li Wenhou was defeated, his prestige remained undiminished, and by this time, the number of rebels had reached 100,000. The two sides engaged in a confrontation in Chang'an.
Emperor Ling couldn't help but be shocked when he received the twist and turn of Xiliang Taishou Zuochang, and hurriedly ordered the battlefield general Beidi Taishou Huangfu Song to lead the young generals Zhang Wen, Sun Jian and Tianshui Taishou Dong Zhuo A total of 80,000 elites went to Xiliang to quell the chaos, and at the same time urgently transferred to the state Taishou Fenwei General Lu Bu led the troops and horses of the headquarters from the east to respond, and the originally quiet border pass is now revived!
