After taking power in the imperial court, Dong Zhuo's forbearance and tyranny became more and more obvious.

In order to make a lot of money, Dong Zhuo ordered the destruction of the five-baht coins in the market exchange, plus various copper products such as bronze people in Luoyang and Chang'an, to mint small coins. This kind of small money is very crudely made, and there is not even outline and text, and the people are reluctant to use it, which eventually leads to market disorder and skyrocketing prices. In addition, Dong Zhuo also asked Sili Lieutenant Liu Huan to arrest those who were "unfilial to their sons, disloyal to their ministers, unclear officials, and disobedient to their younger brothers", and punished them all by death penalty and confiscation of all property, in fact, they were mainly aimed at the other party's property, which led to a large number of unjust cases.

Dong Zhuo had a brutal temperament and killed people at will, and after arriving in Chang'an, he became even more serious, and his subordinate generals were executed on the spot if they made a slight mistake in their words, and Dong Zhuo killed some old Guanzhong clans on the charge of rebellion.

Not only can the generals and clans fall to the ground at any time, but the important ministers of the court are also not safe.

Taishi was angry and reported that a minister would be killed soon. Dong Zhuo was worried that the prophecy would come true to him, and remembered that Zhang Wen, the commander of the guard, had been at odds with him, so he instructed others to frame Zhang Wen for colluding with Yuan Shu.

Dong Zhuo killed excessively, and everyone under his rule was in danger.

The staff led by He Hao, Zheng Tai and others were dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and adopted Xun Xun's strategy, and Wu Fu, a Yue cavalry captain close to Dong Zhuo, served as an assassin and tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo. But Dong Zhuo is a fierce general killed on the battlefield, not only is he born with divine power, but his instinct to adapt to the situation is not bad, avoiding the saber suddenly stabbed by Wu Fu, Wu Fu was captured by the guards, scolded and died. Dong Zhuo then sent people to investigate Wufu's comrades, He Hao and Xun You were imprisoned, and Zheng Tai, Hua Xin and others fled to Yuan Shu.

Wu Fu's death did not make the courtiers give up the idea of killing the national thief Dong Zhuo.

Situ Wang Yun conspired with Sili Captain Huang Wan, servant archer Sun Rui, Shangshu Yang Zan and others to get rid of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo knew that he was rude to others and was afraid of being assassinated, so no matter where he went, he often asked Lu Bu to be his entourage and guard, and he was very fond of him, swearing to be the same as father and son.

Dong Zhuo has a stubborn temperament, he once pulled out a halberd and threw it at Lu Bu for a trivial matter, and if he was hit, he would die, but fortunately, Lu Bu was good, avoided the halberd and quickly apologized, which calmed the anger of Dong Taishi, but Lu Bu secretly hated Dong Zhuo from then on. In addition, Lu Bu was lustful, and took advantage of the convenience of guarding the Taishi Mansion to have an affair with one of Dong Zhuo's maids, worried that Dong Zhuo would find out, and he became more and more uneasy.

Lu Bu had a good relationship with Wang Yun, and took the initiative to tell Wang Yun that he was almost killed by Dong Zhuo.

Wang Yun's heart moved, opportunity!

About twenty miles outside the Great Wall of Shangjun in Hetao, several Qianghu tribes from the north stopped and set up camp by a small river, as if intending to rest here for a while. Last year, the heavy snow froze the cattle and sheep to death, and the food shortage in the early spring, the Qianghu cavalry went south to plunder, and many tribes also migrated to the south, so it is not surprising that these Qianghu tribes appeared in this area.

Depending on the situation, these tribes intend to stay here for a long time, waiting for the earth to rejuvenate and the grass to grow.

However, the reality is far from that simple.

In one tent, four tribal leaders gathered together to discuss the matter.

Leader A: "The person sent to scout came back and said that after the dragon cavalry returned from a sneak attack on the Zhehan Tribe, they never went out again, and the foot soldiers never came out of the stronghold. Not only that, a few days ago, a group of 3,000 foot soldiers rushed to the Dragon Leader, and the strength of the Dragon Leader's garrison was about 6 or 7,000 people, which was almost double the previous number. ”

Leader B gasped: "Six or seven thousand troops in the township-level territory!" Could it be that the news has leaked? ”

"Impossible!" Leader C said: "We are more than twenty miles away from the Great Wall here, and there are still seventy miles from the Great Wall to the Dragon Leader, adding up to nearly a hundred miles away, and it is outside the Great Wall, so the eyes of the Dragon Leader will be so far?" In normal times, they may have the ability to monitor this area, but recently the Qianghu collective has gone south, and there are cavalry of various ethnic groups everywhere, and the dragon leading cavalry can no longer operate as wantonly as before, and it is impossible to monitor the situation hundreds of miles away. ”

Leader A nodded, "That's right. Even if the dragon leader found out about our tribe, but recently many tribes have gone south, and it is difficult for them to think that we are coming for the dragon leader. The dragon lead is to attack eight hundred miles in the north, and then sneak attack the Zhehan department, both actions are very courageous, but so far, no Qianghu tribe has come to trouble them, just take other Han strongholds to be angry, I expected that the dragon collar was proud, let alone that someone was ready to use the dragon collar to open the knife. Wu Shuai, what do you think? ”

Wu Shuai didn't say a word before, and sat silently on the main seat, and the other three leaders obviously looked at him with his horse.

Seeing that Leader A asked, Wu Shuai said in a deep voice: "I also think that the dragon leader will not notice something wrong so quickly. ”

"Many of them went south to eat, and the four of us mixed in the southbound team is inconspicuous. Even if the dragon leader cavalry still has the ability to go out to investigate, its exploration range will not cross the Great Wall, more than 20 miles past the Great Wall here, no matter how careful and clever the dragon leader is, he will not be able to find us here. I am not afraid to find out, several tribes have collectively migrated south, and it is normal to stay here, and it is the cavalry troops that the dragon leader must guard against, not the tribal migration. ”

"As for the increase in the garrison of the Dragon Leader, it is expected that the Dragon Leader knew that he had persecuted the Zhehan Department too much, and was worried about being retaliated by Qianghu, so he transferred troops from other places in advance. There is news that the dragon leader has received population supplies many times, and there must be their backup around the Hetao, if the dragon leader cavalry set out to attack the Zhehan tribe when the reinforcements are dispatched, it should also arrive at the dragon territory during this time. ”

"The strongest combat power of the dragon army is the cavalry, and the foot soldiers are difficult to achieve in front of the sabers of my Qianghu warriors. The total strength of the dragon leader is about six or seven thousand, and the cavalry is about two thousand, and with the strength of our four divisions, it is effortless to attack a township-level stronghold......"

"The dragon leader is good at surprise attacks, wouldn't it be nice to wait for us to treat others in the way of others!"

Wu Shuai talked eloquently, degraded the dragon leader's reinforcements to worthless, and boosted morale in an understatement.

However, the leader B was still a little worried, and said: "The dragon leader is not afraid, I am afraid that they really have a dragon ......."

Leader C sneered, "Where is all this nonsense? It's all here, and you're still worried that they have dragons? ”

Leader B's face froze.

Why participate in this operation?

Wu Shuai was a Xiongnu, and the Barbarian Cattle tribe led by him was another large tribe that rose before the fall of the Zhehan tribe, and it competed fiercely with the Zhehan tribe. Wu Shuai stared at the dragon leader, more or less for the Huns to correct the name of the taste, the Xiongnu in the Hetao power is not as good as the Qiang and Xianbei, some time ago the Zhehan Department was completely reduced to a laughing stock, as the largest Xiongnu tribe in the central and southern regions, the Barbarian Niu Department has the responsibility to do something to save the honor of the ethnic group.

Wu Shuai was the initiator of the operation, and three other tribes were invited.

And the reason why the other three tribes joined is not about the honor of Qianghu, but only about interests!

The tribes went south to plunder the Han strongholds, but the monks had more porridge and less porridge, and the tribes that started early could still pinch soft persimmons, while the backward tribes could only attack well-defended cities, or clash with the Guanzhong troops, and if they wanted to get what they wanted, they didn't know how much they would pay.

The three tribes invited by Wu Shuai were unfortunately slower than the other tribes.

In the past, you can also attack other tribes in a famine year.

But this year is different.

The dragon leader attacked twice in a row, and the powerful Zhehan tribe was disintegrated, and the remnants were absorbed by other tribes, creating the most astonishing results of the Han people against the Qianghu in decades. All the Qianghu tribes were disgraced, and they all clamored to teach the dragon leader a lesson, but they were worried about the legendary dragon, and no one wanted to be cannon fodder to test whether the dragon existed, so they wittily aimed at all the Han people and marched south.

In fact, everyone understands that they are deceiving themselves, but no one wants to say it.

On the one hand, the tribal warriors were killed by the dragon, and on the other hand, they were plundering the Han strongholds to feed the clansmen, which side was easier and safer, as long as they were not fools, they could make the right decision.

But in this way, there is no way to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder other tribes.

All the tribes are fighting for the "honor" of Qianghu, and whoever dares to take advantage of the emptiness in the rear to make waves will become the enemy of all tribes, and no matter how powerful the tribe is, it is impossible to withstand the siege of many tribes. So those tribes who started late, even if they were reluctant, were left with the only way to go south and fight with the Han people.

Wu Shuai invited them to fight the dragon collar and gave them another choice.

Everyone is reluctant to touch the dragon collar, mainly because they are afraid of the legend of the dragon.

Wu Shuai told them that the possibility of a dragon in the dragon collar was very small.

There is only one case of the legend of the dragon, there are only more than 200 people who witnessed it, it was night, and those 200 people did not see what happened at all, many of the descriptions are brain supplements and speculations, and whether the dragon really exists is debatable. In addition, the dragon leader fought against the Zhehan Department twice, and it was the cavalry that was dispatched instead of the so-called divine dragon, and they all knew that the overall quality of the dragon leading cavalry was not as good as that of the Qianghu warriors, if there was really a divine dragon to protect it, what reason would it be willing to risk the cavalry being damaged in battle? Wouldn't it be faster and more effective to use the dragon?

This statement is difficult to dispel everyone's doubts, but Wu Shuai promised that the Barbarian Bull Department was responsible for the first wave of attacks, which seemed to be full of sincerity. The martial artist also told everyone that the dragon leader had plundered a number of Qianghu tribes before, and there were countless livestock and booty in the town, as long as the dragon leader was defeated, he was willing to share the town's income with everyone.

With such favorable conditions, everyone can't help but be impressed.

People die for money, birds die for food, knowing that there is a certain risk, the three tribes still followed.

Leader B is a little indecisive, and he is still worried about the dragon collar here, which causes strong dissatisfaction among others. Didn't you know about this risk later, and you shouldn't have joined in the first place if you didn't dare to take the risk, since you joined, what does it mean to go to a place less than a hundred miles away from the dragon collar and mention this stubble?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Wu Shuai smiled and made peacemakers.

"By now, I'm more certain that there are no dragons in the dragon collar."

"How so?"

"If there is a dragon in the dragon leader, why do you need to increase the army by three thousand? Six or seven thousand troops in a township-level stronghold are completely unreasonable, which shows that the dragon leader is not as fearless as everyone thinks, and it seems that he has no confidence. ”

Three Leaders, Dayue.

"What Wu Shuai said makes sense!"

"Exactly!"

"When are we going to do it?"

Wu Shuai smiled: "Don't worry, wait a few more days for the Dragon Leader garrison to be more arrogant." Besides, the tribe has moved thousands of ways, everyone is tired, and it is not too late to enter the army. ”

When the four leaders were plotting against the dragon leader, a siege battle was staged in the city of divine soldiers.

Looking at the battle at the head of the city, Jin Kela and Yuye looked at each other.

If someone had told them that the Qianghu cavalry would attack the city, they would have thought it was a pipe dream.

But now, the daydream is playing out right before my eyes.

The Qianghu cavalry cut down wood to build ladders, and after building more than 100 ladders, they began their performance.

Thousands of Qianghu dismounted, carrying siege ladders and rushing towards the walls of the Divine Soldier City, their formation was scattered, and their coordination was even more of a mess. The Qianghu were obviously not accustomed to foot combat, and they had no horses to help carry sabers and bows and arrows, so they had to carry everything on their backs, and they had to carry heavy wooden ladders to charge, which made them scramble.

From time to time, weapons fall on the ground, the Qianghu people are no better than the Han army, they have special logistics units, the war horses and weapons are their own, and there is no strict discipline, and the instinctive reaction when things fall is to pick them up, and they can take care of the formation at all. So some people tripped over their companions, and some people temporarily let go and the siege ladder tilted, and it was not a very long way, and the situation was so chaotic that even the defenders of the city could not stand it......

Of course, the Divine Soldier led the defenders and would not let Qianghu approach the city wall smoothly.

The archers stepped forward to greet the city, there are not many qualified archers in the divine soldiers, the arrows are shot, whether they can hit depends on whether God gives face, and it is purely a polite response. They never expected that these actions frightened the Qianghu people outside the city, and many Qianghu people subconsciously threw away the siege ladder and ran, and then ran back under the reprimand of the leader, continuing the unfinished business.

Leaving the war horse, the Qianghu cavalry was not used to it.

Seeing the cowardice of the Qianghu cavalry, the defenders of Shenbing City were first dumbfounded, and then thundered with joy.

After a hard struggle, the siege troops finally reached the bottom of the city walls!

Every Qianghu is a good archer, and with the advantage of archery, they shoot the defenders' archers so that they dare not come out, buying more time for their besieging troops.

With the indomitable efforts of many Qianghu people, the long ladder finally reached the city wall, and then continued to go abroad.

How far is the foot of the ladder from the city wall?

The defenders above were so bad that they tried to overturn the ladder, but a few people below couldn't withstand it, so what could they do?

Then there is the city, it is said that the Qianghu cavalry has no experience in climbing ladders to fight, and the speed is touching.

Seeing that it was not easy to climb up, he was besieged by the defenders, and between the lightning and fire, it was estimated that some Qianghu warriors thought that they were on the horse, instinctively dodging gorgeously, and then, there was no more......

The Qianghu archers in charge of the cover were so angry that they vomited blood.

Although the archers on the city are vegetables, but the people have the city walls and battlements to cover, they come out coldly and release an arrow, no matter how powerful the Qianghu archers are difficult to retreat, plus the rolling wood, stones and fire oil at the head of the city are not easy to deal with, and the casualties of the siege troops continue to increase.

The first wave of siege troops behaved like a joke, which was ridiculous.

Jin Kela and Rainy Night couldn't laugh at all.

The Qianghu people did not retreat in the face of difficulties, but continued to invest troops to attack the city, practice is the best teacher, the price of blood let the Qianghu people gradually find some siege skills, although it is not enough to pose a fatal threat to the defenders for the time being, but more and more Qianghu people attack the city wall, enter the white-edged battle stage, the Qianghu cavalry level advantage is obvious, even if there is Hao Zhao to defend, the casualties of the defenders in the city are obviously accelerating.

From time to time, new Qianghu cavalry arrived outside the city, and it seemed that they were very determined to take the Divine Soldier City.

Jin Qila wants to cry without tears, who did my brother provoke?

"Help, help!"
