"Now Dong thieves are killing the monarch and disrupting the government, poisoning the common people, which is not tolerated by the corporal doctors and ordinary people in the world. We waited for a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses of the local princes of the 15th Road to join the army in Suojube, and wanted to respond to the Empress Dowager Yongle's request for Dong Yuwen to send troops to Luoyang. However, most of the princes from all walks of life came from afar, and there was a serious shortage of grain and grass in their hands, so the two of us were specially ordered by Yuan Shao to ask the champion Hou for some support of grain and grass, so as to work together for the great cause of the king! After chatting for a while, Tao Qian finally said the purpose of the trip.

Ma Chao secretly sneered in his heart, these poor bastards came from all directions, and it was strange that they had grain and grass in their hands. Lao Tzu will not be a wronged leader like Han Fu, but if he does not pull out a dime, it is obviously a little unreasonable, so he is doing it at the moment: "All the princes are loyal and good people of the Han Dynasty, and the crusade against Dong Thief is also a move to help the Han family, and I will spare no effort to provide all help." But Ben Hou has sent 100,000 troops from Bingzhou and captured Tongguan, and most of the grain in Jizhou has also been transported to Bingzhou with the army. ”

The two couldn't help but be happy when they saw that Ma Chao didn't say anything to death, and if this matter was successful, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. Kong Rong hugged his fists and said: "Jizhou is a place of heavy capital in the world, far more than other states and counties, if the champion Hou Ken takes action to solve the urgent needs of the coalition army, the two of us are grateful!" ”

Ma Chao pondered for a while: "The two of them are both famous people in the world, if Chao repeatedly refuses, I am afraid that some of them are too much, even so, for the sake of the face of the two, this surname provides 500,000 grains and grass at a time, which is enough for 200,000 troops to consume in a month and a half, how about it?" ”

The two of them are overjoyed, although 500,000 Hu is not much, but it is also a lot, and the most important thing is that they go back to explain. Tao Qian hugged his fists and said: "The champion Hou knows the general, obeys the righteousness, and is high-spirited, if there is anything that can be used in the future, you can say it bluntly!" ”

Ma Chao's heart moved, and he chuckled: "I'm ashamed, I really have two little things to bother you to help." ”

"Champion Hou has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Ma Chao said with a smile: "There is a lost deceased named Tai Shici, the word Ziyi, a person from Donglai. In the past, he promised to take care of his mother on his behalf, but the sea of people was vast and nowhere to be found. If Kong Beihai can find out the whereabouts of Tai Shici's old mother, he hopes to send someone to send her to Yecheng, so that Ben Hou can fulfill his promise! ”

Kong Rong nodded when he heard this: "This is a trivial matter, although the champion Hou can rest assured, he dares to do his best!" ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Kong Beihai Gaoyi, thank you very much!" ”

Kong Ronglian didn't dare, but Ma Chao was very proud in his heart, 500,000 grains and grass for a Tai Shi Ci is still not a loss, but his appetite is obviously more than that, and continued: "Chao heard that Mi Zhu of the Mi family in Xuzhou has a sister who is quite virtuous, and there is a brother Ma Dai in the same year as Ben Hou, who is handsome and heroic, and is currently a general, the governor and the state military. I want to work hard to make Jun do a good thing for the media, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

Tao Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, Mi Zhu didn't drive for Xuzhou, if the Mi family and the Ma family married, he Xuzhou could climb the big tree of Ma Chao with the Mi Zhu relationship, and Xuzhou and Jizhou were also separated by a Qingzhou, which was in line with the principle of long-distance and close attack. ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and saluted back: "In this case, there are two Laos, if you are useful to the place where you are waiting for the future, you can send someone to inform you, and you will spare no effort to help it!" ”

"Thank you, Champion Hou!"

The three chatted late at night before they dispersed, and the next morning, Ma Chao sent someone to send the two to Yecheng to meet the Empress Dowager Yongle. After three days, the two returned with a full load, not only verified the body of the Empress Dowager Yongle, but also asked for 500,000 grains and grass, and the most important thing is to have a friendship with Ma Chao, a great warlord, which is of extraordinary significance.

And Ma Chao did not break his promise, the two had just returned to the sour jujube, and the trial led Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Shun, and Dian Wei to escort 20,000 horses and horses to the sour jujube, and Yuan Shao's coalition army was far away. Ma Chao led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wang Shuang, and Chen Zhisi to lead 40,000 troops to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass and set up a camp.

However, it was said that the princes from all walks of life couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that Tongguan was taken by Ma Chao, so Dong Zhuo was tantamount to a turtle in an urn, and people's hearts were excited. The coalition army had 500,000 grains and grass and began to be full of confidence, and immediately sent Sun Jian as the vanguard, leading 10,000 horses to the front of Bishui Pass to scold the battle.

The guard general Zhao Cen did not dare to face the battle, and sent a meteor horse to send an urgent document to Luoyang overnight, and Dong Zhuo urgently gathered the crowd to discuss countermeasures after receiving the news. Although Lu Bu has been in full swing since he took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he has never been at odds with Dong Zhuo's descendants, especially with Zhang Xiu, Hua Xiong, Li Dao, and Guo Yan. At this moment, when I heard that the war was coming, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and said: "Father-in-law is worried!" The princes outside the gate, who regard it as grass mustard, are willing to mention the division of tigers and wolves, behead them, and hang them in the capital. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I have Fengxian, you can sit back and relax!" Before the words fell, Hua Xiong suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice: "Kill chickens with a knife? If you don't go to the Marquis of Lao Wen in person, I will cut the heads of all the princes, such as probing the bag and taking the ears! ”

Dong Zhuo saw that the generals were eager to seek merit, and he was in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "Okay, then General Hua will go to battle, and the old man will make you the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, and allocate 50,000 horse troops, and go to Bishui Pass with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Li Jin to meet the enemy!" ”

"No!" Hua Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he snatched Lu Bu's head, and rushed to Bishui Pass to meet the enemy in the starry night.

All the princes here are also eager to make meritorious contributions, and they all want to establish their fame by crusading against Dong Zhuo, strengthen themselves and weaken the strength of other princes. Among them, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead, so he secretly asked his brother Bao Zhong to lead an army of 3,000 to take the road to the front of the pass. It just so happened that Hua Xiong had just arrived with his troops, and he immediately led thousands of horsemen out of the pass to meet the battle.

Bao Zhong didn't know the depth of Huaxiong, so Pegasus greeted him, but he was slashed by Huaxiong under the horse in less than three times. When the three thousand soldiers saw that the Lord was about to be beheaded, they immediately scattered and fled for their lives. Hua Xiong led the cavalry to chase and kill, beheaded thousands of people, and captured more than 500 people. Send someone to take Bao Zhong's head and press the prisoners to Luoyang to ask for merit.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately crowned Huaxiong as the governor. In order to combat the schadenfreude of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Dong Zhuo also hosted a banquet for the ministers in the Deyang Palace. The officials were puzzled, and they didn't know what medicine was in Dong Zhuo's gourd. At the banquet, Dong Zhuo was in high spirits and beckoned everyone not to scruple and drink freely. After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo suddenly got up and said mysteriously to the people present: "In order to help everyone drink, the old man will present a wonderful program for you, please enjoy!" After saying that, he high-fived and laughed wildly.

Suddenly, the entire banquet turned into a place of execution. Dong Zhuo escorted hundreds of captives to the center of the main hall, first ordered the soldiers to cut off their tongues, then some had their hands and feet cut off, and some had their eyes gouged out. The cruelty of his methods made all the officials and soldiers present miserable, and many of the guests were so frightened that their chopsticks fell to the ground.

Dong Zhuo was as if nothing had happened, he still drank freely, and ordered people to mix the blood of living people into the wine, and forced the officials present to drink it, and the violators were beheaded on the spot. The officials were forced by Dong Zhuo's Yinwei to drink it and vomit wildly, but Dong Zhuo was the only one who talked and laughed freely, and his mouth was full of blood. After this incident, no one in the DPRK and the Central Committee dared to show the slightest sense of schadenfreude.

And since the trial and distribution of 500,000 grains and grass with Yuan Shao, they have been in one place with the coalition forces, which belongs to the kind of people who listen to propaganda and do not listen to tunes. Bao Zhong was beheaded, the coalition army was shaken, Yuan Shao was even more furious, and shouted: "General Bao's brother did not obey the dispatch, entered the army without authorization, and was killed. ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Sun Jian immediately led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to the front of the pass. Dressed in rotten silver armor, wrapped in a red curtain, holding a family heirloom ancient ingot knife, riding a flower-maned horse, pointing to the gate and scolding: "Huaxiong Pifu, do you know whether Jiangdong Sun Jian is it?" ”

Hua Xiong sneered: "Murano Pifu, can An enter my Fa'er?" "Say, let the deputy general Hu Zhen lead 5,000 troops out of the customs to meet the battle. Sun Jianjia put Cheng Pu's flying horse up with a spear, took Hu Zhen directly, and fought to twenty times, and Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen under the horse with a shot. Sun Jian waved his army to the front of the pass, but was repelled by the rain of arrows and arrows. Sun Jianqiang could not attack, so he could only lead his troops back to Liangdong to live, and at the same time make people report the victory to Yuan Shao and urge Yuan Shu to eat.

Yuan Shu, as the head of logistics, has a lot of power, although he cooperates with Sun Jian, he doesn't want to see Sun Jian become bigger, so he refuses to send food. Sun Jian's army was short of food, and the army's heart was unstable, so Hua Xiong led his troops to attack the camp at night, broke Zu Mao, lost the red curtain, and fought until Tianming was defeated and returned to Liangdong. Yuan Shu saw that Sun Jian was defeated, and it was not good to deduct grain and grass anymore, so he immediately sent someone to send grain over.

Sun Jian was furious, and he was also disheartened after this incident, the princes from all walks of life had ghosts in their hearts, and they just kept their strength, and they couldn't see others making meritorious contributions, and they only hated Yuan Shao's brothers to the bone in their hearts.

Yuan Shao was slightly happy when he learned that Sun Jian had suffered a defeat, now that the Han family was irretrievable, he had to plan for his own future, and he wanted to use the opportunity to weaken the strength of various local warlords, so he pretended to be surprised: "I don't want Sun Wentai to be defeated by Huaxiong, what can I do?" "Not to mention Yuan Shuzhi's non-payment of food, in fact, the two brothers have already discussed it.

At this moment, I heard a sneer suddenly coming from behind Gongsun Zhan, which seemed extremely harsh in the quiet Chinese army tent.

Yuan Shao looked at it and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, so he asked, "Who is behind Gongsun Taishou?" ”

Gongsun Zhan got up and pulled Liu Bei and said: "This person is my brother since childhood, Liu Bei is also the plain order, and after King Jing of Zhongshan, these two are Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!" ”

Cao Ying said: "Could it be Liu Xuandehu who broke the yellow scarf!" ”

Liu Bei hugged his fists and said: "Yes!" ”

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The people who weave mats and sell shoes dare to call themselves the relatives of the Han family?" At that time, it was a heroic battle, and the champion Hou had already made the identities of these three people known to the emperor, could it be that Meng De never remembered this? ”

How could Cao Ying not know that it was he who had seen Zhang Fei's courage and wanted to accept the three of them for his own use, so he deliberately raised Liu Bei's identity and argued: "The difference between the highway, the so-called heroes, regardless of their background, the three of them had a lot of credit when they broke the yellow scarf, and now they are working tirelessly to respond to the thief, why bother to seize the door?" Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the heroes of the world? ”

Yuan Shao was the most important, and when Yuan Shu said this, he immediately remembered the identities of the three of them, and said angrily: "Our duke is discussing big things, why do you have to laugh at a small county order?" In vain, you still dare to claim to be a member of the Han family, and you don't know how to count etiquette so much? Then he shouted, "Someone! Beat these three people out with a stick.
