Five days later, an army of tens of thousands of people was slowly advancing to the northeast. The soldiers in the queue are all wearing fiery red robes, and the army marches on the green grassland, like a fiery snake moving in the verdant grassland, red dazzling, red bright!

Liu Wei rode a snow-white war horse and walked at the forefront of the army. He looked ahead, and there was a verdant field and lush mountains in the distance.

The rich breath of late spring echoes in the wilderness, spring gently caresses the earth, and the whole world is full of vigorous vitality.

On the green grass, small yellow and white flowers are swaying their green stalks in the wind, blooming beautiful faces and showing smiling faces to people.

The team of tens of thousands of people advanced slowly, although the soldiers of the Luoyang Army did not deliberately step on heavy steps, but their unique neat steps, every step, can still bring a little shock to the earth.

"Your Highness!" He was leading the army to advance slowly, rushing up from the back of the team and riding a fast horse, a dragoon guard rode to Liu Wei's side, rode on horseback, and said to Liu Wei with a fist: "Jia Zhonglang was attacked, fortunately he was discovered by the Jizhou army, and General Zhang He is escorting Zhonglang back to the army!" ”

"Jia Xu?" Hearing that Jia Zhonglang was attacked, Liu Wei was suddenly stunned, wrinkled his brows, and asked the dragoon guard who reported the news: "Where have they been?" Can you find out who attacked Jia Zhonglang? ”

"There are still more than ten miles away from the army!" Riding on horseback, the dragoon guard who reported the news responded with his fists clenched: "Zhonglang doesn't know who ambushed in the middle of the road, but he just said that the black-clothed man who robbed the road has ordinary martial arts, and he doesn't look like an assassin, but a little like a soldier in the army!" ”

Listening to the report of the dragoon guard, Liu Wei frowned tighter, waved his hand at the dragoon, and waited until the dragoon guard rode away, he turned his head to the Wang sisters and Deng Zhan on the side and said, "Go with this king to meet Jia Zhonglang!" ”

"The army leader continues to march!" Turning around the war horse, Liu Wei clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, rode his horse and ran towards the rear of the army, and before leaving, he left a sentence for Pang Tong.

Pang Tong, who got the order, shouted hello to the army behind him after Liu Wei and the others left, and led the army to continue to advance slowly, while Liu Wei took Deng Zhan and the Wang sisters, as well as a team of dragoon guards, and galloped straight to the direction where Jia Xu came.

After running out of six or seven miles in one go, Liu Wei saw a team of people in front of him.

The number of men and horses in that group was not very large, only five or six hundred at most, and looking at them from a distance, one could vaguely see that there was still a black carriage in the procession.

Seeing the oncoming team, Liu Wei knew that what he saw must be the Jizhou army escorting Jia Xu, and his legs were clamped fiercely on the horse's belly, urging the horse to speed up and meet the team.

Deng Zhan and the others saw that Liu Wei had sped up his speed, and they also clamped the horse's belly hard, following him closely.

Leading the team to escort Jia Xu was a burly general wearing familiar copper armor and a familiar copper helmet on his head.

Although this general is burly, his physique does not appear extraordinarily large, but it only gives people a feeling of being lean. His face was very clean, and there was not even a single beard on his bronzed skin, except for some obvious traces of shaving above his lips.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the iron-smelting industry was not yet able to produce razor blades, and ordinary men would not shave, but many men would think that having a long beard was more masculine.

The young general who led the team, not only did not deliberately grow his beard like others, but shaved his beard, which is really a bit unusual in this era.

Liu Wei and the others rushed towards this team, and the young general saw it from afar, and hurriedly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and rode his horse to welcome Liu Wei and the others.

More than a dozen Jizhou soldiers, seeing the young general urging the horse to rush out, also hurriedly shook the reins and rode closely behind him.

Forty or fifty steps away from Liu Wei and the others, the young general turned over and jumped off his horse, clasped his hands into fists, and stood on the road with his bow. More than a dozen Jizhou soldiers who followed him, seeing him dismount, also hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse, and stood behind the young general with his fists in his fists.

"It's General Zhang He?" When he arrived in front of the young general, Liu Wei grabbed the reins, waited until the war horse stabilized its hooves, turned his head to look at the young general standing aside, and asked him a question.

"The last general is Zhang He!" Standing aside with his fists clenched, Zhang He bowed his head in response, but did not ask Liu Wei's identity.

"There is General Lao Zhang!" Knowing that it was Zhang He who was standing in front of him, Liu Wei smiled slightly, first arched at Zhang He with his fists clenched, and then asked him, "Where is Jia Zhonglang?" Can the general lead the king to meet Nakaro? ”

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang!" Liu Biao called himself "this king", how could Zhang He not know his identity, he hurriedly hugged his fists and half-knelt on the ground, looked up at Liu Bian on horseback and said: "The last general does not know that His Highness has arrived, how abrupt, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!" ”

Zhang He knelt down, and more than a dozen Jizhou soldiers who followed him also clenched their fists and bowed their heads and half-knelt on the ground.

"General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" Sitting on horseback, Liu Wei raised his hand towards Zhang Hexu.

Holding his fists in both hands, after Zhang He stood up, he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "The soldiers who escorted Zhonglang fought desperately, Zhonglang only suffered some abrasions, and it was fine!" Your Highness, please! ”

Nodding his head at Zhang He, Liu Wei shook the reins lightly, and rode slowly towards the carriage that had been much closer.

Liu Biao led Deng Zhan and the others out of four or five steps, and Zhang He and the Jizhou army who came with him also turned over and jumped on horseback, accompanied Liu Bian and others, and walked towards the team escorting Jia Xu.

"His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang is coming, and all the troops are driving!" Only more than 20 steps away from the team, a Jizhou soldier who followed behind Zhang He, under Zhang He's nod, rode his horse and galloped towards the team, and while galloping, he also shouted loudly.

Hearing that the king of Luoyang was coming, the team escorting Jia Xu stopped the march, and hundreds of Jizhou soldiers were all half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for Liu Wei from afar.

Jia Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, was pretending to sleep with his eyes slightly closed, and heard someone outside shouting "The King of Luoyang is coming", sat up, lifted the curtain and jumped out.

As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, Jia Xu saw Liu Wei from a distance. Without waiting for Liu Wei and the others to come closer, he opened his legs and ran towards Liu Bian.

Because he jumped out of the carriage, Jia Xu's shoes were not properly worn, he just kicked the shoes and ran forward, only to run two steps, and the shoes were thrown aside by him.

Looking back at the fallen shoes, Jia Xu did not put them back on, but turned around and continued to run towards Liu Wei.

When Liu Wei approached, Jia Xu clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and said to Liu Wei with some crying: "Your Highness, Your Majesty will almost never see Your Highness again!" ”

"Zhonglang!" Jia Xu ran to him, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Jia Xu, held his hands tightly, stared at Jia Xu's face, and said to him: "Jia Zhonglang has suffered!" ”

"Your Highness!" His hands were held by Liu Wei, Jia Xu raised his head, looked at Liu Wei, and said to Liu Wei: "Cao Mengde has already led the army to Chang'an. ”

"This king knows!" Knowing that Cao Cao led the army to Chang'an, Liu Wei nodded, but did not show special joy, but frowned slightly, and asked Jia Xu: "Who is the one who ambushed Lang in the middle of the road?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know!" Liu Wei asked about the identity of the person who set up the ambush secretly, Jia Xu shook his head, a trace of indignation appeared between his eyebrows, and said to Liu Wei: "It's just that they seem to know that their subordinates are going to pass by, and they have already set up an ambush." If not, the guards who escorted their subordinates should be able to deal with it! ”

Referring to the more than ten Luoyang soldiers who escorted him, Jia Xu's face became more and more gray, he lowered his head again, his lips moved a few times, and then said to Liu Wei: "If it weren't for the desperate fight of the guards, my subordinates would have died a long time ago!" ”

Holding Jia Xu's hands, Liu Wei frowned, and pondered for a moment before saying to Jia Xu: "Zhonglang went to Puyang this time to persuade Cao Mengde to raise troops, which is already a lot of hard work. Then follow the king to lead the army to Yuyang, and when the king will hand over Youzhou to the original hands, I will return to Luoyang, and then think about this matter carefully! ”

"No!" Liu Wei said these words and let go of Jia Xu's hands, Jia Xu hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down, and responded.

After explaining to Jia Xu, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Zhang He, who escorted Jia Xu here, and said to Zhang He: "General Zhang escorted Zhonglang, all the way, please follow this king to the army, this king has his own reward!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Wei is the king of Luoyang, even if Yuan Shao came here in person, he definitely did not dare to refuse his proposal, Zhang Hesheng was Yuan Shao's general, he did not dare to hold it up, and when Liu Wei proposed to invite him to the army, he hurriedly thanked Liu Wei.

At the same time that Liu Wei received Jia Xu, outside Chang'an City, tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops had already lined up in formation and surrounded Chang'an City.

Under the banner of the commander of the Yanzhou Army, Cao Cao, dressed in military uniform, pressed the hilt of his sword, his body stood straight, and a pair of eyes stared at the fiery red banner on the city wall in the distance.

Li Dao and Guo Yan occupied Chang'an, and did not change the banner of fire virtue of the Han Dynasty to water virtue like Dong Zhuo did at that time. It is precisely because of this that the big flag fluttering in the wind on the city wall of Chang'an is not the ink-colored banner of Dong Zhuo's chaos, but a piece of red.

"Zhongde!" Looking at the city wall in the distance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Cheng Yu who was standing behind him: "Our army has come from afar, and the number is not superior!" If I were Li Dao and Guo Yan, I would definitely take advantage of the fact that our army was not firmly established and start a decisive battle. But the gate of Chang'an City is closed, and they have no intention of fighting a decisive battle, I don't know what Zhongde thinks? ”

"Li Dao and Guo Yan are just short-sighted villains!" Standing behind Cao Cao, he bowed to him with his fists in his fists, and Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao: "Our army is besieging the city, although the king of Luoyang has ordered Hongnong County to transport grain and grass supplies, but once the grain road is cut off, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to our army!" For the sake of today's plan, Cao Gong should show favor to Guo Yan and help him defeat Li Dao......"

When Cheng Yu said this, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde has a good plan, but Guo Yan and Li Wei are closed to the city, and they go to persuade Guo Yan's people how to enter the city, and who to send to do it?" ”
