The 3,000 Flying Bear Army followed Dong Zhuo out of the Dong Army camp in Dayang County, all the way north, and three days later, arrived at Jiangyi County, an important town in Hedong. As soon as he saw Niu Fu, who was still leading the army to garrison Jiangyi County, Dong Zhuo asked unceremoniously:

"Have you inquired about the news of the arrogance?"

Facing Dong Zhuo, who is the "general" and "Lord Taishan", Niu Fu, who usually treats his subordinates with an arrogant and domineering appearance, has turned into a docile little sheep. He lowered his eyebrows and replied to Dong Zhuo:

"Lord Taishan, I have been living in Baibo Fort these days. However, he left the fort from time to time, and the servants could not fully grasp his whereabouts. ”

Dong Zhuo's fat face showed a trace of dissatisfaction. However, he was not demanding of Niu Fu, and said lightly:

"That's it. That's it. Gongzhu, you are also an old fighter, how can you not suppress a group of people? The military newspaper said that you actually lost more than 60 people at once. This face is not a small loss! ”

What Dong Zhuo said was the incident of Niu Fu's last conflict with the "rebel army" in Baibo Valley. Niu Fu heard Dong Zhuo turn over the old accounts, and the deer in his heart jumped. If you want to say that Dong Zhuo, the father-in-law, is short protection. However, if anyone dares to drop the chain in front of his eyes, he will punish him quite decisively.

"Lord Taishan, the mob of the White Wave Valley, it's actually nothing. It's just that beside Mrs. Guo, there is a fierce general, holding a big axe, extremely strong. Of the 64 people who were killed or injured this time, this person killed or injured them. More than ten people from the guards' side joined forces to deal with this person, killing and injuring seven people, but only one wound on this person's body was replaced. ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo let out an "oh". He is a general who commands the army, so he naturally knows the degree to which a fierce general who bravely crowns the three armies will improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Dong Zhuo touched the long beard under his chin with his thick fingers. Asked:

"Who is this person?"

Niu Fu had been prepared for this, and immediately replied:

"I heard that it is a new disciple of Mrs. Guo, called Xu Huang."

"That's ......"

Dong Zhuo was a little disappointed in his heart.

He wanted to try if it was possible to dig such a fierce general from the hands of the "White Wave Thief". You know, in Dong Zhuojun. Warriors who were born as bandits and horse thieves, but I don't know how many. For Dong Zhuo, who doesn't pay much attention to his background, as long as he can use it, why bother with the original identity of his subordinates?

Among the warriors who were born as bandits and horse thieves, the most famous of them was Guo Yan, nicknamed "Guo Aduo". This Guo Aduo, due to his superb martial arts, started from Shi Chang and accumulated his achievements in ten years. Now that he has been promoted to the middle and high-level of the "military commander" level in the army, he is only one step away from becoming a senior military general who can take charge of himself, such as a "school captain".

However, since that Xu Huang is a disciple of the "thief chief" Guo Tai, Dong Zhuo's miss is not so great. The core figure of this kind of one-sided force, not to mention whether it can be dug up. Even if it is dug up, whether it can be used well is a question.

At least. Before the Bai Bo Army was completely destroyed, Dong Zhuo did not believe that Xu Huang would sincerely take refuge in him.

"Let out the wind. Let's just say that my handsome army is coming, and it is about to conquer the thieves of Baibo! ”

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo instructed Niu Fudao. The combat effectiveness of the white wave thief, Dong Zhuo is not very worried. But the remnant of the yellow turban in the White Wave Valley deserves Dong Zhuo's attention.

――This signal is released, but I wonder if there will be a response?

I finished my business. Next, between Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu, there are still some family matters to talk about.

"Gongzhu, I heard that you have a house in the local area?"

"Huh?"

…………

Dong Zhuo is an old man. How did he deal with his son-in-law Niu Fu's family affairs, and put it aside. Let's look at the side of the White Wave Valley.

Insolence is worthy of being a traverser, and the changes brought to this world are not too big, but they are not small. Since Master Tai received the instructions of Zhang Qiang and began to study the means of surgical "surgery", he inadvertently opened a door to Chinese medicine.

You must know that although there are surgical pioneers such as Hua Tuo, the "miracle doctor" in the world, the surgical theory system of traditional Chinese medicine is still in the exploration stage. The little medical knowledge that Zhang Qiang knew, such as disinfection, surgery, blood circulation, etc., was only scratching the surface, but it gave medical masters like Master Tai more abundant means to treat the wounded.

Thanks to his contribution to the operation of the wounded in the Taixing Army, Master Tai has now far surpassed the primitive methods of the indigenous "miracle doctor" Hua Tuo in the field of surgery. On Mrs. Guo's body, the injury that other doctors were helpless for, Master Tai confidently opened the knife, and after wrapping it with boiled, exposed and sterilized gauze, he miraculously made it better.

In this way, the Taoists of the Taiping Dao lineage in Bingzhou are full of worship for the arrogant methods of the "Little Heavenly Master". And Zhang Qiang's action of wanting to merge with the Taiping Road has also become a lot smoother.

At this moment, Zhang Mad received the news of Dong Zhuo's arrival.

For a while, the situation in the Baibo Valley area became more and more complicated.

Hearing this news, Zhang Mad thought for a while, wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and then ordered a team of soldiers to send the letter to Jiangyi County.

The garrison of Jiangyi County did not dare to delay when they received the letter, and hurriedly handed it over to the main general Niu Fu. Niu Fu glanced at the content of the letter, did not dare to delay, and personally sent the letter to his father-in-law Dong Zhuo.

"I have admired my prestige for a long time, and I would like to see it. If you have time, you will hunt to the mountains. ”

Dong Zhuo finished reading the letter and glanced at Niu Fu.

"Xiangshan is in the middle of Jiangyi and Baibo Valley, and the mountain is bare, and there is no ambush."

Niu Fu naturally knew what to say at this time.

Dong Zhuo touched his big belly and smiled:

"I haven't hunted in days. This arrogance is also interesting. Ha ha! ”

At that moment, Dong Zhuo made an appointment with the messenger sent by Zhang Madness, and on the eighth day of the fifth month, that is, the day after tomorrow, each side brought no more than 100 followers to meet in Xiangshan.

But if you stay in the army for a long time, you will become much more courageous. Niu Fu saw that Dong Zhuo agreed to the arrogant invitation so easily, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything. You must know that in recent years, as the military power of the Zhangren has become heavier and heavier, the majesty and domineering of the Zhangren have become more and more revealed.

The only thing Niu Fu could do was to diligently send groups of scouts to carefully investigate whether there were any ambushes within twenty miles of the surrounding mountains. At the same time, he also selected a thousand elite soldiers and stationed them ten miles away from Xiangshan. If something happens, you can immediately respond to your father-in-law.

The appointed time has come.

On the morning of the eighth day of the fifth month [7 o'clock to 9 o'clock], facing the sun's illumination, Dong Zhuo and his party of 90 people, wearing polished bright light armor (1), holding various long and short weapons, hanging bows and arrows from their waists, riding on all high-headed horses, appeared at the foot of the mountain with high toes.

The corresponding arrogant department is also in the early nineties, all cavalry. However, when comparing the equipment of both sides, the arrogant subordinates are more than inferior. Except for a few leaders who wore fish scale armor, the rest of the cavalry were mostly two-crotch armor. At first glance, the difference between the two sides is like the difference between "Audi" and "Alto".

However, although Dong Zhuo's personal soldiers had a certain sense of superiority over the arrogant troops because of this, they did not dare to underestimate these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. Because, in the body of the arrogant department, there is a faint smell of blood. This smell of blood can only be contaminated by veterans who have experienced many fierce battles.

The cavalry of the two sides stopped a hundred paces apart. Dong Zhuo urged the horse, only brought two attendants by his side, and stepped forward. And at the moment when Dong Zhuo acted, Zhang Qiang also urged him to step forward, and there were only two guards around him.

"General Dong!"

"Captain Zhang!"

Five paces apart, the two sides automatically stopped, no longer approaching. Dong Zhuo and Zhang Qiang briefly greeted each other on the horse and began to probe each other.

――Are you thirty years old? What a young man!

- Sure enough, he's a fat man. But it seems to be sturdy, huh?

"Captain Zhang, these two warriors around me are extraordinary, I don't know who they are?"

Dong Zhuo can actually be very kind when he is not powerful. Although his face is a little dark because of the years of fighting, he is by no means the kind that grows into a face full of flesh. For example, Zhang Qiang is now, and I have the feeling of meeting the uncle next door.

"This is Guan Yunchang, the fierce general of my Taixing army, who was once in the midst of thousands of troops, and was beheaded in Fuluo. This is Taishi Ziyi, who is the first in my Taixing archery, and Hu Lu who died under his arrow, if not three hundred, but also two hundred. ”

There are many fierce generals under the arrogant subordinates. However, his stall is now bigger, and many fierce generals have also been sent out to guard the Quartet. Zang Ba maintained the situation in Taihang Mountain, Zhao Yun was sent to the Yanliyou tribe in the north to sharpen his cavalry tactics, Le Jin trained iron cavalry recruits in Meiji, and Dian Wei was not good at horse warfare. In this way, on this trip, only Guan Yu and Tai Shici were left by Zhang Mad's side.

However, with such two fierce generals, there is nothing uneasy about the safety of their lives. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) Mingguang armor is a kind of high-grade armor in ancient China. The origin of the word "Meiguang armor" is said to be related to the round protection of the chest and back. Because most of this round guard is made of metals such as copper and iron, and the polishing is extremely bright, quite like a mirror. Wearing bright light armor on the battlefield, due to the sun's irradiation, will emit a dazzling "bright light", hence the name.

Although when the Ming Guang armor shined, it had to be postponed to the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Zhi of Wei recorded Mingguang armor in his "List of Armor of the First Emperor". It shows that at that time, there was already such armor.
