After carefully walking forward for two or three hundred steps, Liu Wei and the others heard the sound of many people laughing and talking. Hiding in the grass and touching forward more than ten steps, a team of soldiers wearing Dong Zhuojun's armor appeared in front of Liu Wei's eyes.

The number of soldiers in this group was not large, only about thirty people. They sat in the grass, and not far from them, there were several war horses.

In the middle of a group of Dong Zhuo's soldiers, sat a general wearing scaly armor and his upper body tightly bound by ropes, like a zongzi.

Surrounded by a group of talking, laughing, and arrogant Dong Zhuojun soldiers, the general frowned, and his face was full of resentment and chagrin.

The cavalry of the defeated army has the characteristics of fast mobility, and after defeat, it will definitely withdraw from the battlefield quickly, and it will only be the infantry that will go slowly.

The grass that Liu Wei and the others had just passed through was covered with horse dung, and judging from the strides of people and horses, the people who passed there were not very flustered. It was from this that Liu Wei deduced that there must be an enemy ahead.

Hiding in the grass, Liu Wei's eyes wandered on the bodies of several Dong Zhuojun not far away, making sure that there were only these Dong Zhuojun nearby, he waved to Dian Wei, pointed at the few Dong Zhuojun soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Catch two alive, and kill the rest!" The bound general, come back and bring it to me! ”

Dong Zhuojun is not many in number, and there is grass everywhere, if everyone advances forward, the movement will inevitably be too big, and it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the more than 30 Dong Zhuojun.

The only way to advance to Dong Zhuojun's approach and launch a surprise attack on them was to minimize the number of people involved in the operation.

Dian Wei responded, waved his hand behind him twice, and with more than a dozen men, he bowed down and touched the few Dong Zhuojun under the cover of the grass.

Touching a place that was only more than ten steps away from Dong Zhuo's soldiers, Dian Wei made an archery action for the men who followed him, and more than a dozen men took off their short bows from their backs, put the arrows on the bowstring, and each chose the target to aim.

As Dian Wei pressed his hand, more than a dozen arrows flew towards the more than thirty Dong Zhuojun soldiers who were sitting on the grass laughing loudly.

The arrows with the strong wind hit more than a dozen Dong Zhuojun soldiers, and as the more than a dozen soldiers let out a miserable scream, Dian Wei led the men who launched a sneak attack to rise up and pounced on them.

The arrow flew out and hit more than a dozen Dong Zhuojun who were talking, with hemp ropes tied to their bodies, and the general who was sitting on the grass with a face full of chagrin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes radiated a strange brilliance.

"Kill him!" As soon as Dian Wei and the others jumped up, the junior officer who led the group of Dong Zhuojun drew his long sword and shouted at the soldiers who were in a mess, telling the soldiers to kill the bound general quickly.

"Up!" Dian Wei and the others had already rushed out, and Liu Wei didn't need to continue to hide, he beckoned to Zhou Cang and the rest of the men behind him, roared in a low voice, and pounced on the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun who had just been attacked and had not yet recovered from the panic.

After receiving the officer's order, a soldier of Dong Zhuo's army rushed to the bound general, raised his short spear and stabbed him in the throat.

The general was not only tied up like a dumpling on his upper body, but even his legs were tied, and seeing that the short spear in Dong Zhuojun's soldier's hand was about to pierce his throat, he slammed his body down, avoided the sharp spear tip, and lay on his back on the ground.

The short spear pierced into the air, and the soldier of Dong Zhuojun raised his hand, and was about to stab the general again with the spear, but the back of his neck hurt, and a long sword pierced straight into the back of his neck and leaked out of his throat.

The neck was pierced by the long sword, and a stream of blood spurted out of the mouth of the soldier Dong Zhuojun, his eyes rolled white, and his body fell to the side softly.

The man who pierced the back of Dong Zhuojun's neck raised his hand, and the long sword was raised to the side, cutting the corpse's neck from the side, and then he raised his foot and kicked the back of the corpse, kicking the corpse that had lost its breath of life to the ground, and then pounced on another Dong Zhuojun soldier.

Seeing that the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army who attacked him were killed, the general who was lying on the ground and was tied up sighed, twisted his body, and struggled to sit up.

Dian Wei, who led people to take the lead in the attack, held a double halberd, and the rise of killing, where could he still take care of the general who was tied up, but Zhou Cang, who had just rushed to the front, rushed to the side of the general after slashing over a soldier of Dong Zhuojun who was blocking the way, and helped him untie the rope on his body.

More than 100 men pounced on more than 20 Dong Zhuojun, and it was a surprise attack without any warning in advance, the two sides were just contacted, Dong Zhuojun was completely defeated, most of them were killed, only a few were seriously injured, and they were still lying on the ground moaning and wailing.

Holding the long sword that had just killed two people and was still stained with blood on it, Liu Wei raised his feet and walked to the general who had been untied by Zhou Cang, and was standing straight in front of the general not far away, looked at the general from head to toe, and asked in a flat tone: "Who are you?" How can you be captured by the thieves? ”

Just untied by Zhou Cang, the general was somewhat grateful to Liu Wei and the others in his heart, he clenched his fists with both hands, bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei very humbly: "The last general is Qiao Zhen, the younger brother of the Qiao Mao clan of Dongjun Taishou, dare to ask Your Excellency ......?" ”

"This king is Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong!" Liu Wei took a piece of cloth from the hand of the man on the side, first wiped the blood stains on the sword, and then inserted the long sword into the scabbard, and said to Qiao Zhen: "I heard that Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde and others gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to besiege the Tiger Prison Pass, and when I came here, I wanted to ally with the Zhongqing family and fight Dong Thief together!" I don't want to rush to the sour dates, but the Zhongqing's house has already dispersed! ”

"Your Majesty is here in person, and there are many ministers who are abrupt, which is really a capital crime!" As soon as he heard Liu Wei say that he was the king of Hongnong, Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Pray that Your Majesty will forgive the sins of disrespect to the sinners!" ”

Since leaving Luoyang, the world's title for Liu Wei has been very confusing. Some people call him "His Royal Highness", recognizing his identity as King Hongnong, while some people call him "His Majesty", recognizing his identity as Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The princes of the Huimeng outside the Tiger Prison Pass do not recognize Dong Zhuo's identity as Xiangguo, let alone easily recognize Liu Xie's identity as the emperor, and the emperor they recognize is only Liu Wei!

"General Qiao is loyal to the country and born and died for the court, what is the crime?" Liu Wei smiled slightly, raised his hand to Qiao Zhenxu, and said to him, "General, please get up!" ”

"What happened to the jujube? How did General Joe fall into the hands of the thieves? As soon as Qiao Zhen stood up, Liu Wei asked him a question.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Qiao Zhen bowed his body and said to Liu Wei very humbly: "Sour Jujube Alliance, Cao Mengde strongly advocated advancing to the Tiger Prison Pass, attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, and then approaching Luoyang. Helplessly, Yuan Benchu and others were unwilling, and Yuan Benchu even retreated to Hanoi and did not show up all day. The rest of the soldiers and horses were not moving, Cao Mengde was angry, and the army left a few days ago, and the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were scattered, plus there was not much food and grass, and they were scattered. ”

Having said this, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Liu Wei, and said in a much quieter voice: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, Taishou and Liu Dai have always been on good terms, a few days ago, Taishou retreated, I am afraid that Liu Dai will follow and pursue, and after the special minister leads the army, I don't want Liu Dai's army to attack our army, but I bumped into the thief army halfway, and there was a fight, and there were only 1,000 officers and soldiers. The minister led the army to retreat to Dongjun, but he didn't want to be ambushed in the area of Bishui! ”

"Flood?" After listening to what Qiao Zhen said, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Where was he ambushed in Bishui?" How many centaurs are there in the thief army? What is the terrain like? ”

"I'm waiting to be lying on the ground, twenty miles downstream of the Tiger Prison Pass!" Liu Wei asked about the place of ambush, Qiao Zhen bowed down, and said with some apprehension: "The thief army only has more than 500 people, which is less than the number of our army, but our army is newly defeated, and the officers and soldiers are tired......"

"Needless to say!" Qiao Zhen wanted to explain the reason for the defeat, but Liu Wei waved his hand at him and said to him: "Right now, this king just wants to know what kind of terrain is in the place where you were ambushed!" ”

"On the west bank of the river, there are trees on both sides!" I wanted to explain the reason for the defeat, but was stopped by Liu Wei, Qiao Zhen's face showed a touch of embarrassment, and he lowered his head and replied: "The thief army suddenly came out of the forest, and our army was caught ......off guard."

"When was the general ambushed? How many hours has it been since I was ambushed? Without waiting for Qiao Zhen to finish speaking, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly and asked again.

Qiao Zhen wanted to explain the reason for the defeat for the second time, but was stopped by Liu Wei again, his face was swollen and red, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to bow down and say: "Riding a horse is instantaneous, if you are walking, it will only take half an hour." ”

After listening to Qiao Zhen's introduction, Liu Wei turned his head and said to the men: "Not a single one is left alive, all of them are killed, I will go to rescue the captured officers and soldiers soon!" ”

The men answered, and many of them walked up to the seriously injured but not dead officers and soldiers of Dong Zhuo and raised their long swords towards them.

A soldier of Dong Zhuojun, who was slightly injured, saw a man walking towards him with a sword, screamed strangely, and crawled towards a place far away from Liu Wei and the others.

Unfortunately, his legs had been seriously injured in the battle, and although he wanted to flee as soon as possible, his legs were completely unable to exert his strength, so he could only rely on the strength of his arms to grab the ground overgrown with weeds, and desperately jump forward.

The man who walked towards Dong Zhuojun's soldiers with a sword walked a few steps quickly, and after catching up with him, he bent down, reached out and grabbed his bun, pulled his head up, and put the long sword in his hand towards his neck, slamming it hard.

Bright red blood gushed out from the neck of the Dong Zhuojun soldier like a fountain, **** out, the man let go of the hand holding his bun, and when the palm left his bun, he pressed down hard, pressed his head in the grass, watched him kick his legs a few times and completely stopped moving, before turning around and walking towards Liu Wei.

The men checked the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun lying on the ground one by one, whether they were dead or not, and they all made a deep cut on the neck.
