Chapter 36: The Place of Death (Part 2)

The heavy rain will stop, the sky is just bright, everywhere is filled with the smell of mud after the rain, a person and a horse come slowly, Yang Yi, whose whole body is soaked in rain, is very embarrassed on the horse, looking at Luoyang City in the distance, and has mixed feelings for a while.

The northern army suffered heavy losses, even if some soldiers survived, they either became prisoners or were killed on the spot, and there were less than three hundred soldiers in the cavalry battalion in Luoyang City, which was not enough to fight against Dong Zhuo, and within one day, Yang Yi fell from the most powerful person in Luoyang City to a lonely man.

When the embarrassed Yang Yi rode back here, looking at Luoyang City, which had lived for more than a year, his mood and mood were very different for the first time, this majestic ancient city seemed to interpret the weight of history, and also witnessed Yang Yi's defeat in the war in the wilderness south of Luoyang.

After a crushing defeat with Xu Rong, nearly 10,000 Northern Army and Yang Yi's headquarters Xiao Cavalry Battalion were almost lost, and they had lost their right to speak in Luoyang.

For Yang Yi, the only way to leave Luoyang as soon as possible and go to Suozao County to join Tian Yu, where there are 4,000 original Xiyuan troops, presumably with the support of the many gold, silver and jewelry sent by Yang Yi, after these days of expansion and preparation, Tian Yu must have a strong army that can fight.

This army can become the main force of the Kwantung Army when it joins the alliance, go all out to attack Dong Zhuo, seize the opportunity, and maybe find an opportunity to avenge the Northern Army, but Yang Yi is not sure whether Tian Yu, who has a strong military force and can even deter the imperial court, will still be as loyal as before.

Everyone has ambitions, not to mention that now that the imperial court is newly decided, Yang Yi is newly defeated, and nothing can be given to Tian Yu, it is even more people's hearts fluctuating.

In the early years, Tian Yu abandoned Liu Bei and returned to Youzhou to follow Gongsun Zhan, because of his outstanding ability to make friends with foreign clans, he was deeply afraid of Gongsun Zhan, but he was not reused, and he has been depressed.

Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for himself, Tian Yu can lead the army into the imperial court like Dong Zhuo, and it is not impossible to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Since the new defeat on the battlefield and the stoning of the Xiliang cavalry, Yang Yi's heart has changed slightly, he will think more about everything, and even be a little suspicious, Yang Yi can no longer bear the heavy defeat, this tragic defeat, I am afraid I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

Fate always comes quietly when we are caught off guard, and people often have to take on two things in their lives, accept the mistakes we make, and then try to learn from the mistakes and strive to become stronger.

It's just that he walked like this, Yang Yi was really unwilling, the great feud of the Northern Army didn't know what year and month it would take to revenge, Lu Liang's sacrifice must not be delayed for a long time, Yang Yi, who was embarrassed on the horse, suddenly had a glowing look in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and galloped towards Luodu.

***

As the huge and heavy city gate of Luodu slowly opened, there was a continuous creaking sound, and the petty officials of the city gate knocked on the gong and shouted loudly at the top of their voices: "The market is open!" ”

Many traders and vendors walked into Luodu quickly, setting up stalls and starting to get busy, although the sky was just dawning, but many people had quickly gathered on the morning market.

Suddenly, a horse galloped in, and a group of guards of the city were about to stop it, but when they saw that it was actually Lord Gongsun of Jinwu, they hurriedly retreated to the side and hurriedly saluted, but Yang Yi was extremely embarrassed, which made some people with a heart talk in a low voice.

The news that Yang Yi led the earth-shattering army of 10,000 out of the city has long been known to everyone, and these city defense troops have all seen it with their own eyes, but today only Yang Yi rode back on horseback, and it was obvious that something big had happened.

Yang Yi rode his horse all the way to the Xiaocai Battalion barracks, and the three hundred armor soldiers who were practicing immediately lined up neatly, and several tun commanders immediately surrounded them to salute.

"You immediately take someone to Suozao County to meet with Tian Sima and tell him not to move lightly, just expand the army in Suozao County, reserve food, and prepare siege equipment, which will be of great use in the future." Yang Yi did not get off the horse, although his voice was not high, it was not negotiable.

"My lord, we really lost!" These tun chiefs are not stupid, Yang Yi's whole body was soaked by the rain, his face was pale and weak, some red and white things on his body were not washed away by the rain, and he was beaten so badly, it can already explain the problem, plus Yang Yi ordered the rest of the army to retreat immediately, it is completely certain that the battle situation is not ideal.

"What, you want to take my head to invite you to succeed?" Yang Yi's eyes were cold, and he coldly questioned the inquiring chief.

"The subordinate officer doesn't dare, I'll lead the troops to set off immediately." Tun Chang was shocked and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

The three hundred sergeants quickly prepared neatly and headed towards the outside of the city, and Yang Yi rode his horse in front and led the three hundred sergeants of the cavalry battalion out of the city soon.

Outside Luoyang City, Yang Yi suddenly reined in his war horse and turned to a group of armor soldiers and said: "From now on, you and the others are all free bodies, no longer follow my Gongsun Yi, those who are willing to go home can receive travel expenses from Tian Sima, and those who are willing to stay can join Tian Sima's account." ”

"What do you mean, if it weren't for the adults who opened the porridge shack to help us, I'm afraid they would have starved to death on the side of the street, and the kindness of the adults will not dare to forget, how can there be a reason to abandon it."

"I'm willing to follow you to the death!" A group of officers responded loudly.

Yang Yi was also excited, and he enjoyed the feeling of being trusted by others, but what Yang Yi had to do next was likely to be a point of no return, and he couldn't pull these three hundred people to the Ghost Gate Pass together.

Yang Yi said quietly on his face: "My Gongsun Yi is not worthy of your follow, if you have the heart, you can go to Suzao County to tell me what I said before, and thank you here in advance, I hope to tell Tian Sima for me, you don't have to obey my orders in the future, you can go anywhere in the world." ”

Without waiting for the group of Xiao Cavalry Warriors to react, Yang Yi suddenly slapped his horse and left, leaving only a group of stunned Xiao Cavalry Warriors.

"Now that Lord Gongsun has given an order, we must rush to Sujube County as soon as possible, if anyone dares to leave, be careful that this official does not take into account the old feelings!" The commander of the garrison turned around and gave the order.

"Listen to me, boys, whoever dares to leave ungratefully, Lao Tzu will be the first to cut him!" A tiger's back swept over the group of armor soldiers, and said coldly.

***

The breathing became heavier and heavier, Yang Yi, who was riding on the horse, was in a trance, soaked in heavy rain, and he didn't close his eyes all night, if it weren't for Yang Yi's regular exercise this year, I'm afraid he would have been unable to hold on.

Riding a horse all the way, soon the Xiliang army camp appeared vaguely in the distance, and suddenly a sharp arrow came head-on, instantly penetrating before falling into Yang Yi's war horse, at the moment when Yang Yi was forced to stop, more than ten Xiliang army cavalry rode horses and surrounded Yang Yi.

"Get out of the way, this official is ordered to meet Master Dong!" Yang Yi's eyes were cold, and he glanced at the Xiliang cavalry and said coldly.

A group of Xiliang cavalry looked at each other, but although the man who couldn't see the weak crown was very embarrassed, he was wearing armor and was not extraordinary, and he was unarmed and not threatening, if he really came by the emperor's order, he didn't dare to delay, and surrounded Yang Yi towards the military tent.

Hearing that Yang Yi came to meet him, Dong Zhuo, who was in the tent, stood up in shock, and while the strategist Li Ru stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly guessed the purpose of Yang Yi's coming.

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "As a general of the defeated army, this Gongsun Yi didn't flee from Youzhou quickly, but he dared to come here to look for death, I really thought that the old man would not dare to kill him!" ”

Li Ru got up and chuckled: "The lord is angry, presumably this Gongsun Yiyan said that the holy decree was just a loan, and he failed miserably in the wilderness outside Luodu, from the most powerful person around the emperor of Luodu, he became a loner overnight, and the person who offended him before will not spare him, and he really needs a place to protect." ”

"The lower officials think that if they can entrap Gongsun Yi and really use it for adults, those courtiers will see that the adults are magnanimous, and it will be much easier to abolish the old and establish the new under respect."

"You are right, if this Gongsun Yi can be used by me, the words of the court may have more weight." Dong Zhuo was deeply impressed by Li Ru's suggestion, and his face was full of anger.

"How is Gongsun Yi doing?" Li Ru casually asked the guard armor who had entered the tent.

"My lord, that Gongsun Yi's face is pale and weak, his whole body is soaked in rain, and he looks very embarrassed." The guard replied without hesitation.

"That's it, if Gongsun Yi had seen His Majesty, he would naturally not be so embarrassed, but the Lord must be careful that Yang Yiyu is dead."

"Huangkou Xiaoer, how can the old man be afraid of him, come and invite Gongsun Yi in."

Yang Yi stood in front of the tent and waited, and the swords and axes in front of the tent of the Xiliang army stared at Yang Yi coldly, if it was before, Yang Yi might have felt frightened and did not dare to look at these fierce people.

It's just that after an unforgettable night, Yang Yi's mentality was calm, and his eyes were relatively not timid, which made the Xiliang saber and axe hands amazed.

Yang Yi stepped into the guard armor and walked into the big tent, and Dong Zhuo, who was smiling, stepped forward and said: "Lord Gongsun is here, it really flatters the old man, come on, sit down." ”

Yang Yi clenched his fists slightly, followed Dong Zhuo to sit down as the guest of honor, and suddenly heard a slightly hostile voice coming: "Lord Gongsun came here under the pretense of the Holy Decree, I don't know what the purpose is, could it be that Jing Ke generally tried to see the dagger back then, and came quickly, otherwise I don't know how to treat guests!" ”

The footsteps outside were slightly heavy, presumably as long as Yang Yi answered uncomfortably, if he made a slight move, he would inevitably be slashed and killed on the spot by the knife and axe hand outside.

Yang Yi sneered in his heart, he just wanted him to show his surrender in this way, and this Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, one singing red face and the other singing white face, can indeed get a place here to obey Dong Zhuo, and can completely save his life, maybe it is not impossible to be ranked as the third prince in the future.

It's just that Yang Yi will never really bow to Dong Zhuo, and if he has a slight intention of surrendering today, it is very likely to be infinitely magnified, and when he meets the alliance in the future, it is very likely to be regarded as Dong Zhuo's party, Yang Yi just intends to make a false promise, re-establish his position in the DPRK and China, and wait for an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.

may be worried about his life, but the moment he entered the Xiliang Army barracks, Yang Yi had already put his death out of the way.
