The group of cavalry had not yet rushed in front of him, and when he was in fear, the remnants of the defeated soldiers gathered around him suddenly became confused, and then let out a shout and fled in all directions.

A military general in military uniform walked out from among the elite soldiers, put his waist knife on the neck of the squill, and asked in a loud voice: "Henan Yin Mingong came to escort him, where is the holy driver?" ”

The souls of the dead were all rising, and he stammered and replied: "Go~~ Lost." ”

"Huh?" Henan Yin Mingong asked again, "Who are you?" ”

Ji Shuo replied: "Ji ~~ Ji Shuo is also." ”

"Well, you're a?"

Min Gong's eyes were full of murderous intent, he cut off the head of the crippled man with a knife in his hand, tied his hair on the horse's neck, and shouted to the remnants of the defeated soldiers rushing in front of him: "The cripple is dead, surrender and avoid death~~"

The desperate remnants of the defeated soldiers knelt down on the side of the road, kowtowed and asked for mercy, Min Gong intercepted and asked about the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, and from the mouth of the defeated army, he successively found out that the Son of Heaven accidentally fell from the horse, broke his legs and was unable to walk, and was trapped with King Chen Liuwang in the abandoned village not far ahead.

Min Gong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly led hundreds of elite soldiers to escort the car, and sure enough, he found the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang in an abandoned house, poor Son of Heaven was young, and King Chen Liuwang was sitting on the haystack, hugging and crying, and he was afraid that the cry would provoke the thieves, so he only dared to sob, Min Gong couldn't help but cry when he saw it.

The country is declining, and it is in such a situation!

Min Gong rolled the saddle and dismounted, marched to the feet of the Son of Heaven on his knees, and cried with a pause: "The minister's escort is late, and the crime deserves death~~"

Although Henan Yin is a small official, he is usually not qualified to rank in the third class, but after all, he is close to the feet of the Son of Heaven, when the first emperor was mourned, the Son of Heaven also saw it a few times and recognized it.

When the young emperor, Chen Liuwang and Min Gong were hugging their heads and crying, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in front of them, rolling like thunder swept from the sky, and I don't know how many black cavalry rushed out from the four wildernesses and eight wildernesses, and surrounded the hundreds of Henan soldiers brought by Min Gong and the Son of Heaven.

A tall, fat, murderous golden-armored military general rode out of the crowd and shouted, "Where is the Son of Heaven?" ”

The young emperor was like being devoured by thunder, and he was so shocked that he was like a sifting chaff, and it was difficult to make a sound, Min Gong Meiyu frowned and was about to step forward to talk, and Liu Xie, the nine-year-old king of Chen Liu, had already greeted him.

"The Son of Heaven is here, who are you?"

The golden armor military general's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "A certain ~~ Aoxiang Marquis, Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo is also." ”

"Dong Zhuo!" King Chen Liuran was not afraid, and shouted crisply, "You escort you? Hijacking? ”

Dong Zhuo hugged his fists and said, "I'm here to escort you." ”

Chen Liuwang said again: "Since you came to escort you, why don't you kneel when you see the Son of Heaven?" ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes showed a look of surprise, and after a little thought, he immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and suddenly said in a long voice: "Minister Dong Zhuo~~ Please ask Your Majesty Sheng'an, long live my emperor, long live long live long live ~~"

Behind Dong Zhuo, thousands of Liangzhou iron horsemen rolled their saddles and dismounted, kneeling down in the field.

……

Mobei, wolf dwells in Xu Mountain.

Kobineng's 10,000 cavalry were quietly lurking in the dense forest, and a scout was climbing a tree to look out over the vast grasslands to the south. The earth was ruthlessly roasted in the air, and the rolling heat wave swept across the entire desert, and the whole world seemed to be boiling, becoming distorted and weird.

The scout's eyes widened as hard as he could, and he didn't dare to blink as the salty sweat slipped down his forehead, and suddenly, a faint cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose on the vast horizon in front of him, and some faint small black dots were coming out of the vast sky and earth.

"King!" The scout shuddered, rolled down from the tree, and shouted, "Coming, coming!" ”

"Poof!"

Kebi could spit out a stalk of grass in his mouth, stood up from under the shade of the shady tree, and the generals such as Hui Gui Ni, Toli Toa, and Yeli Buge surrounded him.

Kebineng's eyes flashed a trace of murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice: "The damned Han army is finally here!" ”

The general sighed: "In order to confuse the Han army, the price paid by our Xianbei people is really heavy, the golden tribe of Budugen and the Tuoba tribe of Tuoba Jiefen, a full forty or fifty thousand young and strong, hundreds of thousands of women and children, and millions of cattle, sheep and livestock, are all gone. ”

"I can't bear the child's wolf!" Kebi Neng's eyes became more and more ruthless, and he said in a condensed voice, "It doesn't matter if the women, children, cattle and sheep are gone, as long as the army is still there, we can snatch these back, and it is tenfold, a hundred times to snatch them back, one day, this king will take you to the Central Plains and rob all the Han women." ”

In fact, Kebineng doesn't want to sacrifice so much, women and children are the future of the entire Xianbei nation, how can Kebineng make such a huge sacrifice unless it is absolutely necessary?

But Kobi had no choice!

Although the main general of the Han army this time is not a horse butcher, but this person's ruthlessness and courage are not inferior to the horse butcher at all, the first battle of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, Kebi Neng gathered all 20,000 cavalry to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but was defeated by the Han army in the field, and was defeated by the Han army in a field battle, and the Xianbei people did not even have a chance.

However, Kebineng deserved to be an unborn hero on the grassland, and immediately retreated the main cavalry to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, thousands of miles away, and lurked in the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and then used the women, children, old and young, cattle, sheep and livestock of the Golden Department and the Tuoba Department to confuse the Han army, disperse the strength of the Han army (the Han army captured women, children, cattle and sheep, and it was bound to leave the army to escort), and led the Han army into the depths of the desert step by step with a small force of cavalry.

Finally, gather all the elite cavalry in Wolf Juxu Mountain, and fight the final battle with the Han army, which has just experienced a thousand miles of attack and is already sleepy!

This will be a battle that will determine the future and fate of Da Xianbei!

The general also said worriedly: "But the king, can our army really win this battle?" ”

The general Tuoli Tua echoed: "Yes, this battle with the Han army is really evil, when have the warriors of Da Xianbei been so embarrassed?" It is a fact that the Han army is well-armed and well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of our Xianbei warriors, but when did the Han army's riding and archery skills become stronger than our Xianbei warriors? ”

"The last general is also very puzzled, the war horse of the Han army is not faster than the war horse of Da Xianbei, but it is longer lasting and more durable than the war horse of Da Xianbei, let's talk about the first chase battle under Danhan Mountain, our war horse of Da Xianbei has already run down, but the war horse of the Han army can still sprint at high speed, it is really a hell of a life." ”

"And archery." "It's surprising enough that the Han army can ride and shoot, but I didn't expect the arrows shot to be accurate and ruthless, even more powerful than our Da Xianbei bow and arrow!" ”

Kebi Neng's eyes flashed a palpitating gloomy color, and he said in a deep voice: "What you said, this king is also confused, but now this king already knows that the reason why the war horse of the Han army is longer lasting and more durable than the war horse of Da Xianbei is because of this under the hooves of the war horse of the Han army!" ”

After that, Kebi Neng handed a U-shaped horseshoe to the generals, and said coldly: "Look at this, this is dug from the hooves of a Han army war horse that died in battle, and it is this small iron lump that makes the bearing capacity and staying power of the Han army war horse far better than that of Xianbei war horses!" ”

The generals came to watch, and said in disbelief: "It's just such an iron lump? ”

"Is it possible?"

"How does this stuff fit to a horse's hooves?"

"And the arrows of the Han army." Kebineng added, "That's not an arrow, it's a crossbow." Mr. Yan Rou once mentioned to me that this kind of crossbow is called a stepping crossbow by the Han people! Because the tension of the crossbow arm of this crossbow is extremely strong, ordinary soldiers cannot open it with their arms at all, but have to use the foot pedal to open the crossbow, so it is called a stepping crossbow. This kind of crossbow shoots farther and more accurately than our riding bow, and it can be used by individuals, so it is not surprising that the Han army would 'ride and shoot'. ”

He gasped and said, "When did the Han army have such a powerful crossbow arrow?" ”

Kebineng said: "The Han army had this kind of crossbow as early as hundreds of years ago, but although this kind of crossbow is extremely penetrating, it can be used extremely laborious and time-consuming, and it is not as threatening as a light and fast longbow in the face of a large number of infantry attacks, so the Han army uses a lot of longbows, and the crossbows are rarely used." ”

Gui Gui Ni lamented: "But this crossbow is extremely powerful against our Xianbei cavalry. ”

"My Majesty, General Wulitu has returned."

As he spoke, the scouts on the trees shouted again, Kebineng and the generals turned back one after another, and saw a group of Xianbei cavalry running wildly at the bottom of the mountain, and a large group of Han cavalry was chasing after the desert farther away.

……

Luoyang.

It is the beginning of the lanterns, just experienced the ravages of the war Luoyang City is still immersed in the sword light and sword shadow, the sky is not dark, the people in the market have closed their doors and locked their homes, hid in their homes, from time to time on the street there are soldiers in fierce armor to drive by, the chaotic footsteps and the loud sound of the horn will break the silence of the night.

The official residence of Yuan Shao, the captain of the division.

Chun Yuqiong hurriedly ran into the inner hall and said to Yuan Shao, who was standing by the window with his hands in his hands: "General, another Xiliang cavalry has entered Luoyang City, at least three thousand horsemen!" ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao frowned for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "This is the fifth cavalry, that is to say, at least 20,000 cavalry cavalry have been assembled in Luoyang City!" When did this Dong Zhuo have such a powerful cavalry corps, and how many cavalry did he bring to Beijing this time? ”

Chun Yuqiong said in a condensed voice: "Dong Zhuo's camp is killing pigs and sheep, raising fires to make rice, and the buried pots and stoves are enough for 50,000 troops to eat. ”

"Dong Zhuo is just bluffing, the Xiliang cavalry in Luoyang City is no more than 5,000 cavalry at most."

Chun Yuqiong's voice fell, and suddenly a clear voice came into the hall, Yuan Shao and Chun Yuqiong turned around when they heard the voice, only to see a man with a short figure and an ugly appearance standing outside the hall Shi Shiran, meeting the eyes of the two, the ugly man smiled faintly, and walked into the hall with his hands in his hands.

Chun Yu Qiongqi said: "General, who is this?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "This one is Mr. Xu You, who was originally a member of the general's staff, and now he is engaged in front of my account. ”

Xu You hugged his fists at Chun Yu Qiong and said, "I have seen General Chun Yu below." ”

Chun Yuqiong disdained Xu Yu's ugly appearance in her heart, and reluctantly arched her hand as a return gift.

Although Xu You was unhappy in his heart, his face was indifferent, and he said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf disciples should be taken care of as soon as possible!" At present, there are no more than 5,000 iron cavalry in Liangzhou in Luoyang City, and the streets in the city are narrow, which is not conducive to cavalry warfare. ”

Yuan Shao said disapprerovingly: "Ziyuan (Xu Yubiaozi) doesn't know that Dong Zhuo has a meritorious escort? If you kill a meritorious person like this, you are afraid that the Son of Heaven will be angry, or you will be despised by the people of the world. ”

Xu You said: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and the lord thinks twice." ”

Yuan Shao said: "I don't care about such an act, and Zi Yuanxiu will mention it again." ”

Xu You sighed, and then stopped persuading.

……

Two days later, Li Rutong Xiliang army rushed to Luoyang, set up camp in the east of Luoyang, the military camp stretched for dozens of miles, but saw the banner covered, the drum shook the sky, the army was mighty, the people of Luoyang and the hundred officials in the city were afraid, not counted, the princes of the ten towns also arrived, but the change in Luoyang was hasty, and the princes of the towns did not have full preparations in advance like Dong Zhuo, so they only brought a small number of troops to come, and the ten towns added up to more than 10,000 parts, far less than the Xiliang army.

On the night when the Xiliang army arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo urgently summoned Li Ru to discuss the matter.

After seeing the ceremony, Li Ru asked, "Lord, what is the situation in Luoyang today?" ”

Dong Zhuo said: "In the city, the Yulin Army and Jin Wuwei were killed and wounded, and most of the new army in Xiyuan was scattered. ”

Li Ru asked again: "What are the movements of the hundred officials in the DPRK?" ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven has inconvenient legs and feet, and he has not yet made a court, and there is no movement from the hundred officials in the court. ”

"Although there is not a single soldier in the hands of the hundred officials, they have a decisive influence on state affairs and government affairs, and if the lord wants to control Luoyang, it is not enough to rely on the army, but also to obtain the support of the officials of the DPRK and China." Li Ru pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Confucianism has a plan, which can make the lord debate the hundred officials in the Ming Dynasty, who can be close to them, why they need to be dismissed, and then you will know when you try it." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo said happily, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Li Ru leaned over to Dong Zhuo's ear and said it like this, Dong Zhuo nodded again and again, and said happily: "According to what Wen Xiu said, it is said that there will be a banquet in Wen Mingyuan." ”

……

The next time, Wen Mingyuan.

Dong Zhuo held a banquet in the garden, and the princes of the ten towns were all officials of the court.

After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo suddenly stood up with a wine cup in his hand, and said quickly: "I have a word, please listen." ”

Everyone turned their heads to the side, and the noise in the garden was silent.

Dong Zhuo said: "The Son of Heaven is the lord of all the people in the world, no prestige can not be served in the temple and society, now cowardly, it is not as good as King Chen Liu's demeanor and can inherit the throne, I want to abolish the emperor and set up King Chen Liu, why do you think so?" ”

Everyone was angry, Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, was red, and was about to shoot the case, but was held down by Cao Ying next to him, Yuan Shao turned his head and looked angrily, Cao Ying did not let go, when the two were pulling each other, a person suddenly stood up to Xi Xi, and said generously: "No, no!" Who are you that dare to speak such lies? ”

Everyone was shocked, but it was Shang Shu Dingguan.

Ding Guan straightened his clothes and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven is the son of the first emperor, and he inherited the throne by the edict, which can be said to be in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people, and the Son of Heaven is a corporal, smart and studious, and has no faults, how dare you dare to abolish the establishment?" And the matter of the abolition, about the Han Dynasty and the world, you must not be careful, you are neither the third duke, nor the imperial family, but just a town outside the country, An dare to lie nonsense? Do you want to be a usurper? ”

Dong Zhuo was furious and said quickly: "Someone! Pull down the puff who uttered wild words and behead him. ”

"Yes."

In the shouting, two tiger-backed knife and axe hands have rushed into the garden, set up Ding Guan and left, Ding Guan threw Dong Zhuo back with the wine cup in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Dong Zhuo, puppet, chaotic minister and thief, you must not die well, you must not die well~~"

"Ugh!"

Hearing only a scream, Ding Guan's scolding stopped abruptly, Wen Ming Garden suddenly fell silent, the needle drop could be heard, and in less time, the knife and axe hand had already carried Ding Guan's head back to the garden to Dong Zhuo's life, Dong Zhuo held Ding Guan's head and said to everyone: "Whoever dares to disagree again, this person will be the end." ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring and did not dare to object.
