The officer turned his head to look around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and said to Li Le: "If the general leads the army to Chang'an, he will suffer from the idleness of Li Dao and Guo Yan. But after taking refuge in the king of Luoyang, how do you know that the king of Luoyang will treat the general well regardless of his past suspicions? Living under the eaves of people and snorting on people, how can a general lead a large army all the way to the south......"

"To the south?" Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, Li Le turned his head to look at him and asked in surprise: "But even if it goes south, the army still has no food and grass, so how can the soldiers have enough food?" General Duan is now in the Luoyang King's array, and if we make a slight move, wouldn't we trap General Duan in danger? ”

"Grain and grass are easy to do! Loot some along the way, and when the city is captured, won't the general have great power and share the country with the world's heroes? With a flattering smile on his face, the officer bowed slightly and said to Li Le: "General Duan has already gone to the camp of the king of Luoyang, and when he returns, it will be too late, the future is critical, and the general should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Pinching his chin in his hand, Li Le looked at the large formation of the Xiliang army outside the city gate, frowned slightly, and was speechless for a long time, but his expression revealed a little entanglement.

At the same time, Duan Xuan had already taken a personal soldier and rode his horse to the Xiliang Army Surrender Array led by Guan Qing.

Duan Xuan was also one of the generals of the Xiliang Army stationed in Zheng County, and tens of thousands of soldiers did not recognize him. But when he was about to arrive at the Guan Qing Great Array, several soldiers wearing Xiliang Army armor and with big red silk wrapped around their arms immediately greeted him.

Although these soldiers recognized Duan Xuan, but after they came up, they did not salute Duan Xuan, but held a shield in one hand and a short spear in the other, blocking Duan Xuan's way, and the leading officer even raised his face and looked at Duan Xuan on horseback with a suspicious face, and asked him: "Why did General Duan come to our army's big array?" ”

The soldiers who had to salute him in the past now had no respect for him, which made Duan Xuan feel very unhappy in his heart.

However, these soldiers had already joined Liu Wei and had long since belonged to the Xiliang Army, and Duan Xuan had no reason to reprimand them, so he had to arch his fists at the officer who was questioning, and said to him: "Your Excellency, please ask your Excellency to give a message to the King of Luoyang, and say that Duan Xuan asks to see him, and I implore the King of Luoyang to give him a meeting!" ”

"His Highness is not in the army!" As soon as Duan Xuan's words fell, the officer replied: "The one who led us is General Guan Qing!" Your Highness is just sitting in the city! ”

Liu Wei is not in the army, as Duan Xuan expected, at the moment this army is not Liu Wei's descendant Luoyang Army, but the newly surrendered Xiliang Army, in Duan Xuan's view, if Liu Wei is here, even if the army is based on the Xiliang Army as the main force, the Chinese army will definitely be the Luoyang Army. It was precisely because of this that when he came to the front of the battle, he had already guessed that Liu Wei should not have left the city.

"Then I will bother Your Excellency and give a message to General Guan!" After confirming that Liu Wei was not in the formation, Duan Xuan first turned his head to look at the city wall of Zheng County, and then hugged his fists and said to the officer who blocked his way: "The last general is here to surrender to the king of Luoyang, and I hope that Your Excellency will pass on his behalf!" ”

Hearing that Duan Xuan was here to surrender to Cheng, the officer was stunned for a moment, his originally flat face was full of smiles, he bowed to Duan Xuan with his fists, and said to him in a much more polite tone: "General Duan stay away, and I will report to General Guan here!" ”

Nodding at the officer, he watched him trot all the way to the Chinese army, until the officer's back disappeared from sight, Duan Xuan turned over and jumped off the horse, standing on the side of the war horse, waiting for Guan Qing to come to see him.

After the officer left, it didn't take long for him to lead several people on war horses to run towards Duan Xuan.

Looking at the few fast horses that were rushing towards him, Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, and his gaze stayed on the leading general, and he didn't move away.

On the fast horses that came over, there were several Luoyang Army cavalry wearing red robes, and the cavalry was led by Guan Qing, who was wearing scaly armor with a beautiful face and heavy armor.

Leading the army to fight for several years, Duan Xuan has never seen a female general lead an army of tens of thousands as the main general. Looking at Guan Qing, who was getting closer and closer, Duan Xuan stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

When she arrived at a place where there were still five or six steps away from Duan Xuan, Guan Qing restrained the war horse, and after the war horse snorted, she stared at Duan Xuan, who was standing next to the mount and was waiting for her, with the reins in her hand, and asked in a flat tone: "I heard that the general intends to serve His Highness, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"The last general's surname is Duan Ming, the word is Zhongming, and he is the general of the Xiliang Army!" Hearing Guan Qing's question to him, Duan Xuan, who was staring at Guan Qing in his heart, hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, shifted his gaze to his toes, and replied: "The last general's request to visit the general is to hope that the general will introduce His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang to the last general." ”

"The duel between the two armies, as the enemy general......" Holding the reins in one hand and riding on horseback, Guan Qing did not return the salute to Duan Xuan, but looked at him suspiciously, and asked him: "General Duan asked to see His Highness in front of the battle, and he didn't know about surrendering, but out of his heart?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang is the orthodox of the Han clan!" Clenching his hands into fists and arching towards the side void, Duan Xuan said to Guan Qing: "In the past, I was an enemy of His Highness, but it was because Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu were in the middle of the way, although we have a loyal heart, we dare not do loyal things!" Now that the king of Luoyang has won Zheng County, Niu Fu must have been ambushed, and the last general and General Li Le have already discussed properly, and they are willing to lead the army to serve His Highness. ”

Riding on horseback, looking down at Duan Xuan with a solemn face, Guan Qing didn't see the slightest fraud from his expression, so he nodded and said to Duan Xuan: "General, don't stay there, this general will order someone to go and tell His Highness!" ”

"Thank you, General!" With Guan Qing's promise, Duan Xuan hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, and saluted her again.

"Someone!" Zhao Duan returned the salute, and Guan Qing instructed a cavalryman behind him: "Enter the city immediately and communicate to His Highness, just say that General Duan of the Xiliang Army wants to see him, and he intends to surrender to His Highness!" ”

"No!" A cavalryman who followed behind Guan Qing responded with a fist, holding the reins, clamping his legs towards the horse's belly, and galloping towards the city gate.

Seeing that the cavalry rushed into the city gate, Guan Qing, who was still riding on horseback, turned his head to look at Duan Xuan, who was standing opposite, and said to him: "General Gaoyi, if you really serve Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely not treat the General and his soldiers badly!" ”

"The last general should do his best!" From Guan Qing's words, Duan Xuan heard that she was still slightly suspicious, and hurriedly said: "If the last general dares to have the slightest heart, the general can just kill the last general with a sword!" ”

Chao Duan Xuan nodded slowly, Guan Qing didn't speak again, she turned her pretty face, stared in the direction of the city gate, and waited for the cavalry to bring back Liu Wei's order.

Standing opposite Guan Qing, Duan Xuan looked up at this female general who was as handsome as a jade person, and the sense of amazement that he had just suppressed arose from his heart again.

Duan Xuan didn't wait too long, the cavalry who was ordered by Guan Qing to go to the city to report to Liu Wei turned back, and when Guan Qing approached, the cavalry sat on horseback and hugged his fists and said to Guan Qing: "General Qiyu, Your Highness has issued an order, please send soldiers to escort General Duan into the city!" ”

"I know it!" Nodding to the cavalryman, Guan Qing turned his face to look at Duan Xuan, made a gesture of invitation to him, and said, "Your Highness has invited the general to enter the city to meet you, the general is invited!" ”

"Escort General Duan into the city!" Seeing that Duan Xuan turned over and got on the war horse, Guan Qing shouted behind him, and immediately a group of dozens of Xiliang Army cavalry leaned towards her.

Riding on horseback, Duan Xuan thanked Guan Qing with his fists again, and then walked towards the open city gate under the escort of dozens of cavalrymen wearing Xiliang army clothes and armor with red silk silks wrapped around their arms.

He has been stationed in Zheng County for some days, and Duan Xuan is no stranger to this city. But this time when he entered Zheng County, his mood was not as relaxed as before.

This small city in the northwest has now fallen into the hands of Liu Wei. The Xiliang Army, who chased and killed Liu Wei at the beginning, is now like a plaything, being played by Liu Bi.

The world has changed, the strength and weakness have changed, and Duan Xuan, who had also participated in the pursuit and killing of Liu Wei, thought that he was about to surrender to the king of Luoyang, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart.

Surrounded by dozens of cavalry, they entered Zheng County, and as soon as the team entered the city gate, more than a dozen Luoyang soldiers wearing red robes came over.

In front of Duan Xuan and the others, the leading Luoyang Army officer raised one arm and made a stop gesture, and when Duan Xuan and the others reined in the war horse, the officer hugged his fist and arched towards Duan Xuan and said, "General Duan, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time." ”

After being summoned by Liu Bian, Duan Xuan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately entered the city, and the so-called Liu Bian of the Luoyang Army officer had been waiting for a long time, which was a little exaggerated.

Turning over and jumping off the war horse, Duan Xuan returned the salute with his fists to the officer, and said to him: "Your Excellency, lead the last general to meet the king!" ”

Before Duan Xuan's words fell, a Luoyang Army soldier walked out from behind the officer, raised his hands above his forehead, bowed deeply, and spread his two hands evenly in front of Duan Xuan.

Looking at the soldier's raised hands, Duan Xuan untied his sword and placed the long sword horizontally in the soldier's hand.

"General Duan, please!" It wasn't until Duan Xuan handed over his sword that the officer of the Luoyang Army made a gesture of invitation to him and said, "Your Highness is waiting above the city!" ”

Hearing that Liu Wei was above the city, Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, but then his expression returned to normal, nodded at the officer, and took the lead in striding towards the city wall.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Luoyang Army followed closely behind Duan Xuan, and surrounded him as he ascended the stairs to the city.

Ascending the bluestone stairs to the top of the city, Duan Xuan just stood on the city wall, and saw a young man wearing golden armor and a crown of gilt hair standing on the edge of the battlements not far away.

Standing beside the battlements, Liu Wei, who was staring at the large array of the Xiliang army outside the city, heard footsteps behind him, and without waiting for the soldiers to pass to him, he turned around, smiled at Duan Xuan, and said to Duan Xuan: "This must be General Duan!" ”

"The last general will see His Highness!" Although Duan Xuan had never met Liu Bian, from Liu Bian's dress and bearing, he immediately recognized that the golden-armored young man in front of him was the King of Luoyang, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Bian: "The last general came this time to surrender to His Highness on behalf of General Li Le and 60,000 soldiers!" ”

"General Duan come closer and speak!" With his back to the battlements, Liu Wei beckoned to Duan Xuan, and said with an indifferent smile on his face: "You and I are so far apart, how can you make your words clear?" The general should not have any scruples, just go to the king's side! ”
