Luoyang.

Under the overwhelming attack of Mount Tai of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Coalition Army, the more than 20,000 Liangzhou rebels that were ravaging the city were quickly destroyed. After destroying the Liangzhou rebellion, Yuan Shao ordered the Kwantung Army in each town to extinguish the fire in the city, and at the same time hurriedly led the princes of the eighteen towns to rush to the Deyang Palace to meet the driver, at this time Yuan Shao was most concerned about one thing, is the Son of Heaven still in the palace?

Liu Bei rode his horse and mixed it up, Huo Ran looked around and saw that the seven-colored banners of the princes from all walks of life were hunting in the air, almost filling the entire street, seeing this scene, Liu Bei's heart suddenly moved, and the corners of his mouth had already revealed a trace of an extremely mysterious smile, the opportunity ~~ finally came!

In the neighing of horses, the princes from all walks of life drove to the outside of the forbidden palace, and suddenly saw a peerless military general riding out of the palace gate, and everyone looked at it urgently but it was Lu Bu who showed his might in front of the tiger prison, Lu Bu crossed the horse and crossed the halberd, and behind him Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, and the three members of the state were lined up, and the three soldiers were like clouds behind the three soldiers, and thousands of soldiers were waiting for the state.

The princes of Kwantung hurriedly stopped their horses, and Yuan Shao shouted on horseback: "Lu Bu, how are you doing?" ”

Lu Bu snorted and ignored it, when Yuan Shao was about to get angry, a passage was opened in the middle of the state army, and the ministers of the court headed by Wang Yun had already hurried out, standing in front of the palace gate and saying to the princes of the Kwantung region: "There is a decree in the sage, all the adults enter the palace to see the driver, and the accompanying soldiers are exempt from the court." ”

Yuan Shao and other princes hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down in the dust, and responded respectfully: "The ministers are grateful." ”

After shouting long live and thanking the holy grace, Yuan Shao and others turned over and got up, and each told his henchmen to closely monitor the actions of the state army, and if there was any trouble, they would immediately wave their troops to attack the forbidden palace.

Coming to the Deyang Palace, Yuan Shao and other princes from all walks of life knelt down three times and bowed nine times again, and shouted three times long live.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty~~"

After the salute, the princes of all walks of life just got up, and a heart-rending cry suddenly sounded on the hall, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at it urgently, and saw a person rushing out from among the princes of the eighteenth road, and knelt down on the ground a few steps ahead, and suddenly there was a sound of dong dong.

"The minister's escort is late, and His Majesty is frightened! The minister's sin deserves ten thousand deaths, and the sin deserves ten thousand deaths~~"

When the princes of the Eighteenth Road looked at it urgently, it was Liu Bei, the Langyu Prime Minister who followed Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian to ask for King Dong Qin. Liu Bei was already crying tears at this time, looking like he was in pain, and blood came out of his forehead on the danqi.

This situation and this scene are really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Hidden behind the bead curtain to listen to the government, the Empress Dowager He was touched by Liu Bei, and for a while also remembered the death of the first emperor and the misfortune after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Suddenly, there were mourning voices in the Golden Palace, and there was a gloomy mist.

In less than a moment, a eunuch came out from behind the curtain and said: "The queen mother has a decree, please come forward to speak." ”

Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves, and walked forward on his knees.

Yuan Shao saw that the Queen Mother ignored him, the dignified leader of the Kwantung Army, and actually favored a little Lang evil minister, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and couldn't help but snort softly from his nostrils, but this muffled snort attracted Wang Yun's attention, Wang Yun was already good at playing with power, and when he saw Yuan Shao's face angry, his heart suddenly moved.

Liu Bei knelt under the golden steps, buried his head deep in the ground, and pouted his ass high, and sang respectfully: "Liu Bei, Minister of Langyu in Xuzhou, respectfully ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to bow well." ”

Behind the bead curtain came a pulsed voice: "Aiqing is flat." ”

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Xie."

Liu Bei kowtowed again, got up and stood to one side.

Empress Dowager He behind the bead curtain asked again: "Aiqing's surname is Liu, but is she a member of the royal family?" ”

No wonder Empress Dowager He asked, at this time the Han Dynasty was in a storm, although the Manchu Dynasty civil and military but no one was up to the task, at present, the eighteen-way Kwantung coalition army is pressing, although under the banner of Dong Qinwang and Kuang Fu Han, but the situation is extremely delicate.

Empress Dowager He thought of the orphans, widows, and miserable and helpless, and it was reasonable for her to find backers and help from the princes of the Eighteen Roads of the Kwantung Route.

However, Empress Dowager He's question made Liu Bei so happy that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven! This guy doesn't know where to find Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, who has always lived in the Han family, but many powerful people in various places don't buy it, and they don't take him as a "Han family clan" in their eyes.

Liu Bei was angry, but also helpless.

Because his identity has not been recognized by the imperial court at all, now that Empress Dowager He took the initiative to ask, it was like a big pie falling from the sky, and she wanted to correct the name of Liu Bei, the "Han clan relative"!

Although he was already smiling in his heart, Liu Bei still had a bitter and hateful and respectful face on his face, and responded respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, after the minister was King Jing of Zhongshan, his grandfather Liu Hong was the county magistrate of Fan County in Dongjun. ”

The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this: "Come, please ask the family tree of the imperial family to check the lineage of Lord Liu Bei." ”

"Yes."

The two eunuchs took the decree and left, and in less than a moment, more than a dozen eunuchs carried a whole number of large boxes of imperial family trees, and then when the palace was checked, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the princes of the Eighteenth Road waited like fools on the golden palace for a long time, until noon, the eunuchs who were busy sweating heavily verified Liu Bei's lineage table.

Emperor Xiaojing gave birth to fourteen sons.

The seventh son was Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan. Shengsheng Lucheng Pavilion Marquis Liu Zhen. Zhensheng Peihou Liu Ang. Liu Lu, Marquis of Ang Shengzhang. Lusheng Yishui Hou Liu Lian. Lovers of Qinyang Hou Liu Ying. Yingsheng An Guohou Liu Jian. Jiansheng Guangling Marquis Liu Ai. Mourning glue Hou Liu Xian. Xiansheng ancestor Liu Shu. Shu Sheng, Qiyang, Hou Liu Yi. Yisheng Yuan Zehou Liu Bi. Must be born Yingchuan Hou Liu Da. Dasheng Feng Linghou Liu is not suspicious. There is no doubt that Liu Hui, the Marquis of Jichuan. Wison Dongjun Fan Ling Liu Xiong. Xiongsheng Liu Hong. Hongbushi. Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong.

In the last rank, Liu Bei is the eighteenth grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the nineteenth grandson of Emperor Jing. Empress Dowager He was very happy at that time, and said behind the curtain: "It's noon, please quit the court, and Uncle Liu Huang stays in the palace for dinner." ”

Liu Bei said happily: "The minister's decree." ”

Yuan Shao and the other eighteenth Kwantung princes had no choice but to withdraw from the Deyang Hall sullenly, and each returned to the camp without mentioning it.

……

Liangzhou, Wuwei.

Ma Yuezhongjun's big tent.

Jia Xu and Ma Yue's gazes met in the air, and the corners of their mouths flashed with a trace of cold killing intent at the same time.

"Wenhe, are you ready?"

"Rest assured, my lord, everything is ready."

"Hmm." Ma Yue nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Wang Yuan is extremely cautious in his use of soldiers, and he has not been fooled by the military advisor's design several times, so you must be careful this time!" In particular, the news of Longxi, Hanyang, and Guanzhong must not reach Wuwei, otherwise, all the arrangements of our army will be in vain. ”

Jia Xu said: "The three thousand wolf cavalry of General Jutu has been ordered to dispatch the whole army, divided into a hundred squads, and constantly wander on the main roads of Hanyang, Jincheng, Beidi, and Anding counties to come to Wuwei. Before defeating the Hu Qi of the Western Regions, as long as you pass by these roads, you will be shot regardless of the reason! ”

Ma Yue said again: "Do you have any news from Huang Fujian, Yan Wen, Li Ju, Guo Hao and others?" ”

Jia Xu said: "After the defeat of the Horse Wasteland, Huang Fujian, Yan Wen, Li Ju and others have fled back to the autonomous regions, and are recruiting troops and horses, ready to resist to the end. All indications show that the news of the defeat of Longxi, the capture of Dong Huang and the death of Xu Rong has not yet reached the three counties of Beidi, Anding, and Jincheng. ”

Ma Yue said in a deep voice: "Sooner or later, the news of Dong Huang's capture and Xu Rong's death in battle will spread to Jincheng, Beidi, and Anding counties, so the plan to defeat Hu Qi in the Western Regions must be hurried. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we are in a hurry, Wang Yuan is more anxious than us." Jia Xuzhen said with a smile, "Because the military rations of the Western Regions Alliance Army are already in an emergency, if the armies of the Western Regions countries don't want to kill horses to satisfy their hunger because of lack of food, Wang Yuan must fall for this." ”

……

Wang Yuan's big tent in the army.

Seeing that the military rations were about to run out, when Wang Yuan, the chief of the Western Regions, was convening the generals from all walks of life to discuss how to raise grain and grass, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent, and then the figure flashed, and Musa Khan, the general of the Cheshi State who led the army to plunder the grain and grass, had already broken in with a sweat and said to Wang Yuan: "Lord Changshi, the Han people in the vicinity have all hid in the city, and they can't get food at all. ”

Alibu, the minister of Shanshan, spread his hands helplessly and said: "The Han army commander on the opposite side is very cunning, and he actually transferred the Han people and all the grain and livestock distributed outside the city into the city, and we can't get food now, if we don't want to starve to death, we can only kill horses to satisfy hunger." ”

"You can't kill a horse." Musa Khan hurriedly said, "Without the war horses, how can the warriors fight, and how can they cross the desert and return to the Western Regions?" ”

"Yes, you can't kill horses." Wang Yuan said, "For the matter of food, think of a way!" ”

"Report~~" Wang Yuan's voice fell, and suddenly a small school walked into the tent and said loudly, "My lord, Longxi is too guarded by Lord Dong Huang to ask to see him outside the camp." ”

"Longxi is too shou Dong Huang?" Wang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, great, please come soon." ”

After a while, Dong Huang, the Taishou of Longxi, entered the account proudly under the guidance of the little school, and said with a fist: "Wang Changshi." ”

Regarding the official rank of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yuan, the long history of the Western Regions, was one level shorter than the Taishou of Longxi, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "The lower official has seen Lord Taishou. ”

Dong Huang was also not polite, he walked to Wang Yuan's position and sat down with a big grin, his eyebrows revealing a rich son's commanding face, and asked proudly: "I don't know how many Western Regions cavalry Wang Changshi brought to Liangzhou?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Lord Hui, the lower officials brought 50,000 cavalry. ”

Dong Huang said: "I said that I would arrive in Liangzhou within a month, why did I arrive half a month later than the original time?" ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, the countries of the Western Regions are scattered all over the country, and it is not easy to assemble suddenly, and I have to arrange grain and grass baggage, so I have to take some time, and I ask my lord to forgive me." ”

"That's it." Dong Huang waved his hand aggressively and said proudly, "Anyway, this official didn't pin his hopes of defeating the horse butcher on the cavalry of the Western Regions, and this cavalry under Lord Wang Yuan was just a partial division used to contain the horse butcher." Now half of the horse butcher's army has been assembled in Wuwei, which is already good. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Wang Yuan said modestly, "What my lord said is that although the cavalry of the Western Regions has a lot of troops, they are not subordinate to each other, and it is difficult to form a joint force, so it is really useless. ”

"That's right." Dong Huang stood up with a sigh, gently tapped the armor-devouring beast on Wang Yuan's shoulder with the whip in his hand, and said slowly, "The 30,000 Liangzhou elite soldiers under the command of this official have surrounded the horse butcher's 8,000 main force iron cavalry in Lintao and Xiangwu City, and in another ten days and half a month, the horse butcher's 8,000 iron cavalry will collapse because of the lack of food. Therefore, Lord Wang Yuan's cavalry from the Western Regions must try to contain the Ma Yuejun of Weiwu County, and no matter what, they can't let them gallop to Longxi. ”

"There are only more than 10,000 people in the Ma Yue army on the opposite side, and it is not difficult to contain the 50,000 cavalry in the Western Regions, but ~~" Wang Yuan said this, quite embarrassed, "But at present, the food and grass in the army will be exhausted, and the soldiers of all countries will not be able to eat, and the army will be worried about collapse." ”

"Military rations are not a problem." Dong Huang waved his hand and said loudly, "The Hu people in the Western Regions like meat, this official can order Jincheng Taishou Yan Wen to transport a batch of dried meat to Wuwei within ten days, and then Lord Changshi will send troops to meet it, don't be intercepted by the horse butcher." ”

Wang Yuan was overjoyed and said, "The lower officials are grateful. ”

"That's it, the official is gone."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Yuan to answer, he turned around and walked away, Wang Yuan hugged his fists behind him, and shouted: "My lord, it's good to go, and the next official will not be far away." ”

Dong Huang had just left, and Musa Khan, the general of the Cheshi Kingdom, said angrily: "This Lord Taishou is really arrogant. ”

Wang Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Dong Huang is the only nephew of Master Dong, he is from a noble background, and he is in a high position at a young age, so it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant. However, the problem of military rations has finally been solved, and the warriors of all countries do not have to slaughter war horses to satisfy their hunger, which is always good news. ”

……

Luoyang City Effect, Kwantung Army Battalion.

Yuan Shao's big tent in the army, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Yangzhou Assassin Yuan Shu, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Nanyang Taishou Sun Jian and other four-way warlords gathered together, talking about their respective Qinwang exploits, and speculated what kind of reward they would get from the imperial court when the Ming Dynasty was discussed.

Everyone unanimously agreed that the alliance leader Yuan Shao had made great contributions, and the imperial court should make him a general!

Just as he was talking energetically, Cao Ying, the Taishou of the county, suddenly appeared outside the tent and said, "What are you doing?" Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the rebellious army has not been extinguished, and hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebellious troops are wreaking havoc all over Gyeonggi, the princes do not want to pursue and suppress them, but instead talk about their respective exploits here, isn't it ridiculous? ”

"Meng De is too worried." Yuan Shao said disapprerovingly, "Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou troops have become a rabble, and they will soon fall apart, so why be afraid?" ”

"What Lord Yuan Shao said is extremely true." Zhang Yang, the Taishou of the Shangdang, echoed, "Since Dong Zhuo has been ambushed, and the Son of Heaven is unscathed, the purpose of the battle against King Dong Qin has been achieved, and this battle does not need to be fought anymore." And in order to please King Dong Qin, the lower officials and all the adults have contributed, and the court should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, what is so ridiculous about this matter? ”

"The erector is not enough to plan, and a certain self-leader leads the army to pursue."

After saying that, Cao Ying ignored the princes in the tent and walked away.

Yuan Shao shook his head, looked at Cao Ying's back and said: "After going through so many things, I didn't expect Meng De to be as strong as he was at the beginning (the implication is reckless)." ”

……

Late at night, Situ House.

Sikong Liu Hong, Shizhong Cai Yong, Shangshu Lu Yu and others were gathering in the side hall of Situ Mansion to discuss with Wang Yun how to reward the princes of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung.

Wang Yun stroked the sparse willow whiskers under his chin and said: "The Queen Mother Yizhi, the eighteenth road of the Kwantung princes crusaded against the national thieves, and the king of Qin was meritorious, and he must not be sealed, but he must not be rewarded too much." In particular, there is one that the princes of the Eighteen Roads must lead their troops back to govern the land, and they must not stay in Luoyang. ”

Liu Hong hugged his fists in the north and said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, if you let the princes of a certain road stay in Luoyang, it will inevitably become Dong Zhuo's second." ”

"But it's a bit of a trick to do." Wang Yun frowned and said, "Other princes are easy to handle, the marquis who should be crowned marquis, and those who should be added to the official will be added, but Yuan Shao is a little difficult to do." In terms of prestige, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are all important ministers of the first emperor and the pillar country, which can be described as a prominent one, in terms of talent, Yuan Shao is the leader of the eighteenth road princes, such a family background and talent, it is not an exaggeration to be named a general, but the queen mother's edict ~~ Alas, it is really difficult to do. ”

Cai Yong suddenly said: "Lord Situ, the lower officials have a plan. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yun said happily, "Will the plan come out?" ”

Cai Yong said: "Your Excellency, why don't you order the princes of the Eighteen Roads to evaluate each other's merits? Although Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, he may not be able to completely convince the rest of the princes, and there will be many people, so that the princes from all walks of life will inevitably quarrel with each other, and even turn against each other. ”

"Wonderful, this is a wonderful plan!" Shangshu Lu Yu exclaimed, "If this is the case, we can take advantage of it, and use the complex psychology of the princes of all walks of life to be jealous of each other and not give in to each other to find out the weakest of the princes to stay in Luoyang, so that the rest of the princes will have nothing to say, and can only lead their troops back to govern the land." ”

"The weakest?" Sikong Liu Hong said disapprerovingly, "Let such a person stay in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"Not necessarily, there is such a good candidate right now." Wang Yun suddenly moved, and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official already knows what to do. ”

……

Luoyang City Effect, Cao Ying's Chinese Army Tent.

Cao Ying's eyes swept over Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others, and said in a deep voice: "This official is determined to raise troops to pursue the Liangzhou rebellion, what do you think?" ”

"Of course you have to chase." Xiahoudun waved his fist viciously and shouted, "It's hard to catch up, how can you return to Qianjun without fighting?" ”

"But if you pursue, only the lord will be a little lonely all the way." Xun You analyzed, "Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen and other Liangzhou rebel armies originally had more than 100,000 troops, and they were also coerced by the elite of Gyeonggi, at this time, I am afraid that no less than 200,000 rebel troops have been gathered, and the lord only has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the strength is less than one-twentieth of the chaotic army, and the disparity is too great." ”

"What's the use of having more soldiers?" Cao Ren said disapprerovingly, "Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the rebel armies in Liangzhou are leaderless and fighting on their own, and it is easy to defeat them individually." ”

"General Zixiao is overly optimistic." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Because of the existence of the powerful enemy of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Army, the Liangzhou rebel army is bound to be the same enemy, and if it is necessary to break up the Liangzhou rebel army with internal strife, I am afraid it will be difficult to work." At least before the disbandment of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, the Liangzhou Rebellion Army will not be in chaos first. ”

Cao Ying's gaze finally fell on Guo Jia, and he asked in a condensed voice, "What does Feng Xiao think?" ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "If the lord chases, he will definitely lose." ”

"What!?"

"Huh?"

"Damn!"

"It's unforgivable to dare to underestimate the elite soldiers trained by my Cao Hong."

Guo Jia's voice fell, and Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others had already changed their colors.

Cao Hong was even more furious, and was about to punch Guo Jia for a while, but Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "But Jia thinks that the lord should pursue!" ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

This time it was Xun Yu and Xun You's turn to be confused, but Cao Ying's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of appreciation, and he sighed: "I have to be helped by filial piety, and the big thing is harmonious." ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized.

Guo Jia knew that this battle would be defeated, but he still advocated that Cao Ying lead the army to pursue, because if Cao Ying led the army to pursue the Liangzhou rebellious army and caused a big defeat, it was actually a big victory! Compared with the remaining princes of the Seventeenth Route who stayed in Luoyang and wanted to blackmail the imperial court to reward them for their merits, Cao Ying's solo pursuit of the Liangzhou rebellion was particularly tragic.

Even if he returns with a big defeat in the end, he is bound to paint a strong stroke in the hearts of the court and the world's heroes!

Cao Ying took a deep breath, his little eyes showed a burning essence, and he said quickly: "Where is Yuan Rang?" ”

Xiahou took a step forward, clenched his fists and said loudly: "The end will be." ”

Cao Ying said: "Lead 3,000 light horsemen as the vanguard, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and clear the way for the advance of the army!" ”

Xiahoudun replied suddenly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Cao Ying said: "The rest of the generals led their headquarters to send a letter to Guguan with their officers and soldiers, swearing to destroy the rebellious army in Liangzhou. ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded loudly, and the sonorous sound reverberated in the big tent for a long time.

……

At dawn.

Gongsun Zhan, who was sleeping in the big tent, was suddenly awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and when he turned over and sat up, the captain of the personal army, Zhao Yun (responsible for Gongsun Zhan's personal safety), had already led his younger brother Sun Yue, the general Yan Gang, Ma Teng, Xu Chu, and Guo Tu into the tent.

"General Xu Chu, Mr. Guo Tu?"

Guo Tu said: "My lord, Cao Ying, the Taishou of Qiaojun, has already drawn up his camp and raised troops to pursue the Liangzhou rebels. ”

"What?" Ma Teng was surprised, "Only Cao Ying all the way to the Kwantung Army, dare to pursue the Liangzhou Rebellion?" ”

Guo Tu said: "Only Cao Ying is all the way to the Kwantung Army, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Liangzhou rebellion, our army intends to help, I don't know if the adults are willing to lead the army together?" ”

"This~~"

Gongsun Zhan was quite embarrassed when he heard this, the imperial court was going to be rewarded for meritorious deeds, he really didn't want to leave Luoyang at this time, but Ma Teng came to participate in the Kwantung Alliance on behalf of Ma Yue, and Ma Yue's face could not be ignored. After weighing it again and again, Gongsun Chan set his sights on Zhao Yun, the captain of the pro-soldiers.

……

Hangu Pass.

The chariots and horses roared, and thousands of troops and horses rushed to the pass.

In addition to Zhang Ji, the assassin of Bingzhou, who had not yet arrived in Jinyang, the rest of Dong Zhuo's henchmen and generals such as Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Zhao Cen, etc., had already led their troops to Hangu Pass to join Fan Chou's army. As Xun You expected, the Liangzhou rebel armies from all walks of life wantonly coerced and strengthened along the way, and by the time they arrived at Hangu Pass, the number of troops had reached more than 200,000.

Hangu Pass, the camp of the Chinese army.

Guo Yan and Li Xuan were separated from the left and right heads, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen, Zhang Xiu, and Cui Lie were each at the bottom, and Li Ru was the head of the main seat, but the main seat was empty, and only a tablet of Dong Zhuo was placed on it. Under the leadership of Guo Yan and Li Xun, the generals burned incense and kowtowed, swearing to wipe out the Kwantung Army and avenge Dong Zhuo.

"Generals, listen to Li Ru." Li Rutuan glanced at the generals, and said in a condensed voice, "The Kwantung Army is strong, and our army is difficult to defeat, so we should lead troops to retreat to Guanzhong for today's place, drive the horse butcher out of the land of merger and coolness, and then welcome Gongzi Huang from Longxi to Chang'an, inheriting the unfinished business of the lord, I don't know what you think?" ”

Although Guo Yan and others had the intention to be self-reliant, at this time, the great enemy did not dare to act rashly, so they expressed their approval.

Li Ru said again: "As the so-called snake has no head, the three armies cannot be said to be without a commander, and the top priority is to nominate a general to replace Gongzi Huang as the commander and dispatch the three armies." Confucianism thinks that General Guo Yan has both ability and political integrity, and has experienced a hundred battles, and is worthy of a great responsibility, I don't know what the generals think? ”

Although Li Xu, Fan Chou, Yang Feng and others were not convinced, it was inconvenient to show it at this time, so they had to acquiesce.

Guo Yan took a step forward, stood in front of the desk for Dong Zhuo's tablet, raised his arms and said quickly: "Since everyone has no opinion, then General Ben is going to give orders, Fan Chou listens to the order!" ”

Fan Chou said quickly: "The end will be." ”

Guo Yan said: "Lead the headquarters of 20,000 light cavalry to immediately cross the Chang'an Ancient Road and attack Zheng County!" ”

Fan Chou said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Guo Yan said again: "Where is Zhang Xiu? ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward and said proudly: "The end will be there." ”

Guo Yan said: "Immediately write a letter, ordering General Zhang Ji to lead the army to attack Hetao and force the horse butcher to withdraw his troops from Liangzhou and Guanzhong. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Obey." ”

Guo Yan finally shouted: "The rest of you led your headquarters to rest in Guanzhong for three days, and after three days, the army sent to Guanzhong and took Chang'an directly. ”

"Report~~" Guo Yan's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel walked in, kneeling on the ground and said quickly, "General, there is an enemy attack outside the pass!" ”

"Outside the gates?" Guo Yan stared at him and asked, "Kansai or Kanto?" ”

Xiao Xiao said: "Kanto." ”

"What? Kanto! Guo Yan's face changed greatly, and he said in a condensed voice, "The Kwantung Army is coming so fast!" ”

Li Ru's heart moved, and he asked, "How many Kwantung Army are coming?" Under what banner? ”

Xiao Colonel said: "There are about three or four thousand cavalry, under the banner of 'Xiahou'. ”

"Xiahou?" Li Ru said in a deep voice, "It seems that only Cao Ying, the Taishou of the Commandery of the Commandery, came to pursue, not the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Army to chase after him. ”

"What, only Cao Ying went all the way to the Kwantung Army?" Guo Yan's eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent, and he said sharply, "Cao Ying is so bold, do you think that my Liangzhou army is already vulnerable to such a situation?" Come on, the generals can lead their headquarters, follow the generals out of the pass, and kill the Cao army without leaving a piece of armor. ”

(To be continued)
