Chapter 157: Asking Dong Zhaoxian

The team of more than 1,000 relatives, except for a few accompanying palace maids and Xiao Huangmen, who survived, the rest were all beheaded on the spot. Hu Zhen and fifty Xiliang Qiang soldiers who had their ears cut off were covered in blood, and Luan, who escorted Dong Bai, hurriedly returned to Luoyang to report to Dong Zhuo.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Yongle's presence in Yecheng was no longer a secret, and Ma Chao took the opportunity to announce to the world the document on Dong Weiwen drafted by Cai Yong and the recruitment order drafted by himself. In the name of the Empress Dowager Yongle, she ordered someone to post it in the fairs of various states and counties, and asked Dong Weiwen to write: "Yu tasted that the rebel thief rose up and lived a virtuous life. In the past, Zhulu was in turmoil, and he rose up; Reckless and rebellious usurpation of the dynasty, Dou Rong was worried. If Gai is loyal to his ministers, it will be difficult for the society to be safe. Yu Zeng read the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao was arrogant and Li Si rebelled, then the one hundred and two Qin Guan changed hands in one dynasty, not lost to Chu Han, but destroyed by power annihilation.

Xiliang Dong thief, who claims to be a loyal and good minister, but counts the facts, which is a big mistake. At the time of his yellow scarf, the army was defeated in Hebei, and he bribed the eunuch to be exempted from his crimes. Later, he was awarded the weight of the first emperor, worshiped the history of Liangzhou Thorn, and sealed the Ao Township. However, he didn't want to repay the favor, and entrusted the nobles, so he was appointed as a prominent official, and he commanded the 200,000 troops in Xizhou, and he tasted the heart of disobedience. Gluttony and indulgence, hurting and abusing the people, is despised by gentlemen.

Fang Yizhuo was a prince, and he was arrogant and vicious. Therefore, Shang Shu Ding Guan, talented and handsome, well-known in the world, outspoken and upright, not sycophant, his head was hanged, and his wife and children were blamed for being destroyed. Since Shilin is angry, the people are full of grievances. A husband worked hard, and the state was in unison, so he bowed to Xu Fang, wandered in the Easterners, and had nothing to do. The group of murderers drove the crime, the Son of Heaven was weak, and Zhuo did the act of abolishing the establishment. The jackal's ambition is to plot trouble, insult the royal family, defeat the law and discipline, sit on the three platforms, [***] the government, reward the heart, torture and killing, love the five sects, and destroy the three clans. The group talkers were punished, the discussants were hidden, the jaws of the hundred liaos, the road was eyed, the secretary was still in the court, and the secretary was just a member. is in the position of the three princes, and acts in a state of recklessness, polluting the country and abusing the people, poisoning people and ghosts, and adding its fine politics and misery.

Historical records, violent rebellion, greed and cruelty, Yu Zhuo is very much. The shogunate struggled with a million halberds, thousands of horses, a man from the middle and yellow mines, and a good bow and crossbow. When the state and county are all in order, Chen soldiers are ready to go, in order to save the generals, and Kuang Sheji, in order to establish a virtuous name, so it is important. Like a law! ”

Ma Chao's recruitment order reads: "Thieves are rising, and the beacon soldiers are fighting." First, there was the eunuch party and the Yellow Turban rebellion. Later, there were local divisions, foreign relatives were rampant, and government decrees were deserted. Today, there is a thief in Xiliang, who has no size, but his surname is brutal, he has a usurpation in his heart, and he abolishes the king with his ministers, and he has no three outlines. controlled the government, framed the loyal and good, expropriated and extorted, and arrogant, so that the people were ruined, the government was unified, and the world was in chaos.

Yu is a Han minister, and Emperor Longen should take the revitalization of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility. The height of the temple is worried about the people; Far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about it. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must be said: the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world.

Wasting the years, asking my heart and mind, I often feel heartbroken, hate myself for not being talented, and angry with myself. However, the world is the world of the people of the world, so the revitalization of the world must also do the power of the people of the world. Entrusted by the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Yongle, he should do his best to help the Han Dynasty, and invite the world's heroes and people with lofty ideals to help him!

In the past, Taigong Jiang was born in fishing, Han Xin had the humiliation of his crotch, and King Chen Sheng said: The prince will have a kind of Xiangning! Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world with him? I employ people today, do not pay attention to virtue, do not pay attention to the name, and do not care about the family, when the meritocracy, know the people well, choose the situation. Looking at the vast world today, the general trend of the wind and clouds, and the great move of pride and ambition, will definitely be able to sing in the world, but can heroes dare to walk together? ”

Due to the full preparation in advance, the scouts who went to the prefectures and counties to post the documents and recruitment orders all left in advance, so in less than three days, the important counties and counties of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou were all pasted with Dong Zhuwen and recruitment orders, and people all over the world flocked to them.

The role played by these two pieces is extraordinary. First of all, the Empress Dowager Yongle's incident in Yecheng caused a great turmoil, such as Jinzi, Empress He and King Hongnong were all held hostage by Dong Zhuo, and the local states and counties were no longer under the control of the puppet court. At this time, the appearance of the Empress Dowager Yongle is undoubtedly a huge political capital, coupled with the hussar general Ma Chao, the ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan, and the Guanglu doctor Ma Yueyan, the Ma Chao group is simply equivalent to a temporary imperial court.

Secondly, as soon as this article on Dong Zhuo was published, the previous marriage between Ma Chao and Dong Zhuo was immediately subverted, and Ma Chao jumped from a "small national thief" to a "big loyal minister", and his reputation was even more famous than before.

And the most shocking thing for the people of the world is the recruitment order, which not only states the ambition of Xinghan, but also proposes "not to pay attention to virtue, not to pay attention to the name, regardless of the family, only to move, know people well, choose people to be powerful." The employment policy. You must know that this kind of employment system has cross-era significance at that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty selected talents with the most emphasis on virtue and family, excellent morality, and people with good backgrounds were very easy to be promoted to filial piety, so it created a lot of virtuous and talentless people.

Ma Chao is a meritocrat, regardless of his background, regardless of his family, and even without considering virtue, his thirst for talent is obvious to all. Not only that, but also put forward the view that the world is the world of the people of the world, reflecting the sea of all rivers and rivers, and the mind of tolerance is great.

As soon as the recruitment order was issued, the results were immediate, and many heroic people immediately planned to go to Jizhou to seek refuge in Ma Chao. In addition, the two states are politically stable, the people's livelihood is rich, the law is strict, and the Black Mountain Thieves and Baibo have also been exterminated one after another, which is undoubtedly a rare paradise in comparison.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being, and said that Ma Chao ruthlessly yin Dong Zhuo, and ordered Tian Feng and Zhang Yan to attack Li Dao's Flying Bear Army a few days ago. Ma Tie led 20,000 cavalry from Pingyang City and rushed to Fenglingdu, the Yellow River crossing, not far from Tongguan. Tian Feng left Wen Ping to sit in Jiguan, and led 30,000 troops to Dayang, Hedong, with Zhang Liao, Le Jin and Ma Dai, who were the first thieves Zhang Yan, but in fact they wanted to concentrate superior forces to completely annihilate Li Dao's Flying Bear Army and the remnants of the White Wave Thieves and the remnants of Yu Fuluo.

Li Wei had 40,000 horses, forming a triangle with Tian Feng's 30,000 army and Ma Tie's 20,000 cavalry, surrounding Zhang Yan's 50,000 Black Mountain army in the middle. In fact, the Montenegrin Army, Ma Tie, and Tian Feng formed horns against each other against Li Dao, and occupied a great advantage in the army, forming a game of 100,000 against 40,000.

At this moment, after receiving the news from Yecheng, Tian Feng immediately waved his army south, and raided Fenglingdu with lightning speed when Li Wei was unprepared. Li Wei was confronting Zhang Yan near Anyi City, and was shocked when he got the news, and immediately waved his army back to help. Fenglingdu was his supply line for transferring grain from Guanzhong, and once it was lost, his army of 40,000 would be without food and grass, and immediately became a rootless Ping. What's more, Tongguan, the fortress in Guanzhong, will also leak directly in front of the enemy. These important places have been left in advance by the generals Yang Feng and Li Le, who led 10,000 Baibo troops to be responsible for guarding them.

Li Dao had just pulled out the camp to rescue, Zhang Yan and Ma Tie also received Tian Feng's military orders, and they continued to raise troops and then pursued.

Anyi City is only more than 200 miles away from Fengling, and it is only a day's journey to pass through the edge of Shouyang Mountain in the middle. Due to the urgency of the military situation, Li Wei had to travel through the mountains, who thought that just after noon, suddenly the scouts who were exploring the road came to report, there were 20,000 troops in front of the state army waiting for battle, and the leaders were Zhang Liao and Le Jin.

It turned out that Tian Feng sent Ma Dai to lead 10,000 Jinyang recruits to feint to attack Fenglingdu Dazhai in advance, but secretly let Zhang Liao and Le Jin lead the rest of the troops to ambush Li Dao to fight an interception battle on the way to Li Dao's rescue. As long as Li Dao can be held back for a period of time, when Ma Tie's cavalry behind and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army arrive, Li Dao will be unable to fly.

In order to prevent Li Dao from breaking through at any cost, Tian Feng personally selected an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack canyon mouth to wait for the formation, with Zhang Liao responsible for the attack, and Le Jin commanding the defense to block the enemy.

Li Wei's face was extremely solemn, and the sudden defection of the state army made his situation extremely passive. Now he only has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, there are tigers blocking the road in front, and wolves chasing after him, the only choice is to break through at all costs, otherwise once Ma Tie and Zhang Yan behind catch up, the 30,000 army will definitely be annihilated.

Having made up his mind, Li Dao did not dare to hesitate, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge, with the cavalry in front of the road, and the infantry army followed with the baggage, and was determined to rush through the enemy's defense line before dark to Fenglingdu, which was a hundred miles away. The 10,000 Flying Bear cavalry immediately launched a fierce charge against Zhang Liao's troops, and the infantry army followed closely behind.

Zhang Liao led 10,000 cavalry and did not fight hard with it, and after shooting a few rounds of arrow rain, he fought and retreated along the main road between the two mountains, and only retreated less than 20 miles, Li Wei's cavalry and troops and infantry opened up the distance, forming a long dragon, which was seven or eight miles long in front and back. At this moment, a ringing arrow suddenly shot out around, and then the mountains and forests on both sides also followed by the sound of arrows in the air, shouting and killing all around, after a few rounds of arrow rain, countless sword and shield soldiers and spearmen will come out, blocking this "long dragon" between the two mountains.

Li Dao could not care about each other, and immediately lost the advantage of numbers, resulting in a situation where the infantry army and the cavalry fought separately, so he could only temporarily abandon the infantry and baggage, and led the Flying Bear cavalry to try to break through the defense line of the Bingzhou army in one go.

The Bingzhou army had already prepared, and Zhang Liao led the cavalry to turn back to meet the Flying Bear Army. Later, dozens of rejecting horses were placed on the not spacious road, and 500 archers hid behind the rejecting horses and in the mountains and forests on both sides of the arrows, which immediately caused great casualties to the Flying Bear Army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Wei was afraid that the pursuers behind him would arrive, so he launched a fierce attack at any cost. The two groups of cavalry engaged in a fierce battle in a small canyon, and the dust and smoke were everywhere. The tail end was firmly blocked by the formation of 10,000 infantry troops led by Le Jin, and Li Wei was busy breaking through the defense line of Zhang Liao's cavalry and fleeing for his life, so he had no time to save him.

I have to say that Li Wei's Flying Bear Army is indeed elite, and under the same number, Zhang Liao and Le Jin's cavalry is insufficient, and they were defeated after only fighting for more than half an hour, killing more than 2,000 people. And the 10,000 Flying Bear Army, counting the number of those shot down by bows and arrows, is only 2,000, and the judgment is high.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind the mountain, the dust was flying, and 20,000 iron cavalry formed a steel dragon, killing from the back of Li Daobu's army, it was the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and 10,000 Southern Hun cavalry led by Ma Tie and Tian Hukang.
