(Thanks to the support of Taimeng, Jiexi, Zhao Wuxian 2014, UFGW, and the glorious charter, the new volume of Shifu Lang continues to work hard.) )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In November of the second year of Xingping, Hongnong, Dongjian, Caoyang Pavilion. The sound of killing shook the sky, wolf smoke rose everywhere, corpses piled up in the wilderness, and blood flowed for ten miles.

Outside the military camp of Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, more than 10,000 troops joined forces with Li, Guo and Zhang, with the might of a great victory, galloping on horseback, raising fire and shaking spears, surrounding the camp and making noise, and the sound shook all over the field.

Outside of Lixu, under the big pole of "Dahan Da Sima" and "Li", Li Dao, who was full of meat, had a red face, pulled a big beard under his chin, and looked at his subordinates with smugness.

"Da Sima, his subordinates have seized a box of gold vessels, including a golden bowl, a golden jue, a golden plate, and ......"

"Okay! I will reward you with a golden jue, and you will be rich and noble when you drink in the future. ”

"Xie Da Sima rewards wealth!"

"Hahaha......"

"What are you? Da Sima, the last general's subordinates captured more than 20 women, most of them were palace maids, and three of them were the concubines of the first emperor......"

"Yes, yes, I'll reward you with a concubine, and you pick one yourself."

"Xie Da Sima appreciates the beauty!"

There was another burst of laughter in the Xiliang army.

"Hey, what's your catch?"

"Great Sima, his subordinates are incompetent, and he only picked up a few cages discarded by the Son of Heaven."

"Oh, what's in there?"

"Da Sima, it's all broken bamboo and rotten wood chips from Laoshizi, and all of them were thrown into the fire and burned in a fit of anger."

"What a broken piece of wood, that's the Imperial Talisman Classic! You blind man...... Hahaha! Li Dao and all the generals under his command looked up to the sky and laughed.

At this time, there was a commotion in front, and under the banner of the word "Li", more than ten horsemen galloped towards a young general. Run to more than ten paces. Laijiang turned over and dismounted, bowed to Li Dao, and said, "Uncle, the little nephew caught a small fish and presented it to his uncle." ”

"Oh, it's Yimin, show the little fish you caught." Li Wei looked at the young general in front of him, and his mood was even more happy, because this person was his subordinate, Zhenxi General Li Li. Li Dao's subordinates. But everyone who has a little merit has a loud miscellaneous general name, most of which do not match the truth, but the name of this subordinate general Zhenxi is genuine. Because he had defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui two years ago, he was a fierce general under Li Dao.

Li Li raised his arm and waved: "Bring it up!" ”

Four horsemen stepped forward with a man with a few arrows stuck in his back, half of his body stained with blood, his hair scattered, and his legs were weak and weak.

Li Li handed over his hand and reported: "This person is the captain of the shooting voice, Fu Jun, who was shot and wounded by the little nephew and captured. ”

Captain Shot. is not an ordinary school captain, but one of the eight school captains in the West Garden, the Son of Heaven is also a guard, and his rank is even higher than that of the Prime Minister. said that it was a small fish, or Li Li was humble in front of his uncle.

Li Wei urged him to step forward and lifted his chin with a horsewhip, and what caught his eyes was a picture mixed with mud and blood. The complexion is withered, and the face of age cannot be seen.

Li Wei shook his head and asked left and right: "Can this person still live?" ”

I didn't expect to hear this. The frustrated Jun who looked half-dead rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "You are fierce and rebellious, persecuting the Son of Heaven!" Rebels and thieves, there is no one like you! ”

Li Dao's face twitched, his eyes showed anger, and he reached out to his waist to draw a knife. Suddenly, the sword flashed, and Fu Jun's head flew up, and blood spurted like a fountain.

Li Li stuck a knife on the ground and half-knelt down to plead guilty: "My nephew has no form, I hope my uncle will forgive me." ”

Li Dao waved his hand and said casually: "Next time there is such a small fish, it will be slaughtered directly, and there is no need to report it." ”

The death of Fu Jun is also a microcosm and portrayal of the tragic ending of the hundred officials who fled with Liu Xiedong. In the battle, Guangluxun Deng Quan, Guard Captain Sun Rui, Ting Lieutenant Xuanbo, Da Changqiu Miao Ci, Infantry Captain Wei Wei, Shizhong Zhanzhan and other high-ranking officials all died in battle. The Han Dynasty was greatly damaged.

After a short time, someone came with several Han officials. Li Dao Shicai's breath was still holding back and there was no place to vent, so he immediately wanted to sacrifice the knife, and the person who came hurriedly offered a table. After reading left and right, I realized that Dong Cheng and Yang Feng couldn't resist and expressed their willingness to surrender. However, some of the generals and some courtiers are still in a bad mood, so they have to do their work, so please give a few days of grace.

Li Dao was overjoyed, he was also a veteran of the sand war, so he naturally understood that the soldiers were still fighting for life and death in the morning, and surrendered at night. laughed and waved his hand at the moment: "Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, just like their names, in addition to knowing how to 'flatter', how can they know what to fight." Come, take this table and show it to the general of the chariot cavalry (Guo Yan) and the general of the hussar (Zhang Ji). ”

……

Yang Feng and Dong Cheng are really not people who only know how to flatter, and when they saw that they were not on the battlefield, they started to play off-the-field ideas. The purpose of this table reduction is just to delay time, and the drunkard's intention lies in foreign aid.

Is there any foreign aid in this place? There really is, that's the White Wave Army!

In February of the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Guo Tai and others from the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army rose up in the Baibo Valley of the Xihe River (now Yonggu Town, Xiangfen County, Shanxi), and were called the Baibo Army. In October of the following year, 100,000 Baibo troops advanced to the east of the river with menacing momentum. Dong Zhuo once ordered his son-in-law Zhonglang to lead Niu Fu to suppress the army, but he could not win.

In the first year of Chuping (190), the Kwantung coalition army rose, Dong Zhuo saw that the coalition army was huge, and he was afraid that the Baibo army would cross the river south to cut off its way to Kansai, so he burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an. Later, he still sent Li Dao and others to continue to fight against the White Polish Army. In this battle, Guo Tai was killed in battle, and Yang Feng, the commander of Baiboqu, surrendered.

Yang Feng surrendered, but the power of the Baibo army still existed, and there were three strong forces at the moment: Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai.

Seeing that the catastrophe was coming, Yang Feng, who had been eating and drinking spicy food in Chang'an but didn't treat his old brother very well, finally remembered his former brother. Caoyang Pavilion is on the south bank of the Yellow River, only a water away from the east of the river, as long as you send someone to cross the river by boat, and hold an edict to ask for help from the Bai Bo marshal stationed in the Wushan area of Hedong, I believe that these guys who have been waiting for a long time will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the king of Qin.

At this critical juncture of life, as long as there are reinforcements, even if it is a plague god, he will enter the door first, and Dong Cheng will naturally take the lead. However, at this moment, he did not forget to play a balancing trick, and proposed to ask for help from the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King, who was stationed in Hanoi County.

Yang Feng naturally also heard Dong Cheng's voice-I can't let you occupy the Baibo army in a good way, and I also have to have foreign aid on my side.

Yang Feng also readily agreed.

This pair of "flattering" brothers with perfect names are difficult brothers. From Luoyang to Chang'an, he has been intriguing with courtiers and warlords for so long, and his battlefield skills have not risen, but he has a lot of experience in playing with power.

When Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji were waiting for Dong and Yang to surrender and the camp was a little lax, the Caoyang camp quietly sneaked out four groups of messengers, crossed the Yellow River at night, and rushed to ask for help in two directions.

Soon, the chieftains of the Quartet all received the edict. These people have nothing to do when they are full all day, and they hear that there is such a low risk. High-yield things, wipe your mouth, and shout "!" "It came right away. The four sides combined to get a total of 6,000 cavalry. After agreeing with Dong and Yang, they would jointly attack the Xiliang coalition army.

Li Dao and the others were originally confidently blocking the way back to the east, but they didn't expect Yang Feng to be able to find reinforcements, and the reinforcements came so quickly that they were caught off guard and beheaded more than a thousand levels. The Xiliang army was defeated and retreated.

In this way, the Son of Heaven's guards reached more than 10,000 cavalry, and the momentum was restored, and the emperor's public opinion could finally continue to advance.

After a brief military collegiality. In the end, it was decided that Dong Cheng and Li Le would lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to protect the Son of Heaven, and Yang Feng, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Qubei would each lead 2,000 soldiers and horses.

As soon as the military discussion broke up here, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji's entire army over there caught up again!

Xiliangjun was careless last time. Even then, the losses were not heavy. The combined army of Li Guo and Zhang, which had more than 12,000 horses, lost 1,000 people. Opposite. From this battle, they saw clearly the reality of the so-called reinforcements. Among these thousands of paces, the Hun cavalry had some combat power, and the defeat of the Xiliang army that day was caused by the surprise attack of the Huns from behind the formation. More than 1,000 casualties were also killed by the Hun cavalry. The White Polish Army was almost all foot soldiers, and it was a swarm of bees when it started a battle, and there was no way to speak of tactics, even if there were many, there was nothing to fear.

This time, the Xiliang army came prepared.

In the second year of Xingping, at the beginning of December, the two armies fought again. The Xiliang Force, how can it be the enemy of the Baibo Wuhe, the Xiongnu scattered cavalry and the Dong-Yang coalition army? In the battle, Yang Feng and others were defeated, and the number of dead and wounded was more than when they were in Dongjian. Shaofu Tian Fen, Dasi Nong Zhang Yi and others were all killed in battle.

Dong Cheng escorted the Son of Heaven and fled, and after walking for a few miles, the pursuers arrived again. The attendant persuaded the Son of Heaven to ride on his horse and run quickly, but the Son of Heaven swallowed hard and said, "No, what is the crime of the hundred officials, I can't abandon them and run away." "It's still only a carriage, and hundreds of officials are around.

Dong Cheng and Li Le drove and fought and walked, and did not arrive in Shaanxi County until dark. At this time, there were slightly fewer pursuers, and the soldiers formed a camp to defend themselves. In this battle, seven or eight out of ten of the soldiers were damaged, and there were less than 100 people left in the Tiger Ben Feather Forest Army.

When everyone was discussing the next march route, some people mentioned that they could take a boat along the Yellow River to the east to reach the vicinity of Luoyang.

Taiwei Yang Biao objected: "I am a Hongnong clan, and I know that there are thirty-six dangerous beaches in the Yellow River from here to the east, and the Son of Heaven, as the Venerable of Ten Thousand Times, should not take such a big risk." ”

Liu Ai also supported Yang Biao: "What the captain said is that I used to be the commander of Shaanxi, and I know that the water here is dangerous, and with experienced shipwrights at the helm, it is possible for the ship to capsize, not to mention that now we have neither a big ship nor a helmsman." ”

As soon as these two authorities spoke, no one had anything to say. In the end, after thinking about it, there was only one way to cross the Yellow River north to Hedong County. In order to prevent being chased and killed by Li Dao when he was halfway crossing, he chose to smuggle in the dark moon. That night, Li Le was sent to prepare the ship, which was properly prepared and raised the fire.

The crowd embraced the Son of Heaven and walked out of the camp on foot. Fu Guiren had fluffy hair and a bleak complexion, and followed the emperor. Fu Guiren's elder brother Fu De held his sister in one hand and several handkerchiefs in the other. When Dong Cheng saw it, he was not happy, so he asked people to go up to fight, and the guards naturally refused to let him. During the dispute, one person was killed, and blood splattered on Fu Guiren's clothes. Fu Guiren was so frightened that he trembled and couldn't take a step.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, couldn't see it, and stopped talking, and this inexplicable dispute was settled.

At this time, it was the beginning of the new year, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, and the river bank was several feet high, and there was no wharf or springboard. Dong Cheng and the others began to plan to tie Emperor Xian's waist with a horse tie and put it down, but after thinking about it, isn't it a matter of arguing about silk silk, just use that. This time, Volde took the initiative to hand over the silk, so he took the silk and connected it. The marching captain Shang Hong had great strength, so he asked him to carry the Son of Heaven on his back and slowly put it down. The nobles were carried on the back of their brother Fude.

After Liu Xie got on the boat, he was shocked and saw that there were still many people who had not crossed the river, so he sent a boat to pick him up. Everyone rushed down to the river beach, and many people rolled and fell directly, and the number of dead and injured was unknown. After arriving at the river, officials and soldiers scrambled to climb the boat. Dong Cheng, Li Le, and Shang Hongsheng were afraid that the ship would capsize, and they slashed around with the halberds in their hands, and the fingers that were cut off in the boat could be picked up one by one.

Only Fu Guiren, Dong Guiren, Taiwei Yang Biao, Liu Ai, Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao, Tai Zhong Liu Ai, Tai Servant Han Rong, Yue Cai Lieutenant Chong Ji and Fu Wan father and son and dozens of other people were lucky enough to board the boat, and the rest of the palace female officers and soldiers were either drowned, frozen to death, or captured by Li Wei's subordinates, or stripped of their clothes, or cut off their hair, and their condition was unspeakably miserable.

When Li Dao learned about it, he sent his son Li Xian (Li Li's brother) to lead an army to pursue, and happened to see the Son of Heaven on the ship. Li Xian couldn't get a boat for a while, and he was angry and shot indiscriminately.

Dong Cheng and Li Le couldn't get a few shields for a while, and directly snatched the brocade and pu mat of the two nobles as a barrier.

The arrows fell like rain, nailed to the planks of the ship, and the mat popped. At this time, a strong arrow penetrated through the seat and penetrated into Shang Hong's chest in front of the Son of Heaven. Shang Hong's eyes widened angrily, his strong body trembled violently, and he slowly knelt down.

Liu Xie ignored the humility of the upper and lower levels, stretched out his hand to support Shang Hong, and burst into tears: "Shang Jun ......"

Shang Hong wanted to say something with a ho-ho sound in his mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a large stream of blood gushed out and finally fell backwards.

Liu Xie distracted himself and grabbed Shang Hong's big hand - this hand, Fang was still holding himself across the river, it felt so strong and powerful at that time, but now it is as soft as a feather......

"Oh my God!" Liu Xie looked up to the sky trombone, "Could it be that my Liu bloodline is going to be above this Luoshui!" ”

Fu Guiren and Dong Guiren on his side rushed forward together, crouching on Liu Xie's thin and protruding shoulders and weeping.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise around me: "Boat! Ship! Lots of big ships! ”

Liu Xie and the two nobles were frightened, and looked up, but saw that on the river a few miles downstream, there were torches like stars, forming the outlines of several ships. On the top of the three-story ship, a piece of light illuminated a strange wolf-headed banner that had never been seen before.

Under the inky night, a pair of wolf eyes on the head of the huge and friendless miserable white wolf were as red as blood, flowing with fire, like the messenger of death in a foreign land descending on the world...... (To be continued......)
