Chapter 33: The Commonwealth
Xiahoudun, the character Yuan Rang, the name of the county.
When he was young, he was famous for his courage in the township, and he was Xiahou Yuan's brother and was friendly with Cao Cao.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Xiahoudun followed Cao Cao to fight, when he was a general, and then Cao Cao went to Luoyang, and Xiahoudun returned to the township.
Ding Chen not only knew Xiahoudun, but also had an excellent relationship with him.
Speaking of which, the reunion of old friends is a happy event.
But at this moment, Ding Chen didn't feel any joy in his heart, and a wave of anger in his heart went straight to the top of his head!
Xiahoudun appeared here, doesn't it mean that Cao Cao is also here?
Months of resentment and concern, Sister A-Ang's thoughts, as well as the expectations and anxieties in his heart, seemed to be blended together in an instant, and they exploded all at once!
Xiahoudun didn't know Ding Chen's emotions at the moment, and when he recognized Ding Chen, he was surprised and very happy.
However, after hearing Ding Chen's words, Xiahoudun became angry.
He said angrily: "Ziyang, how can you talk like this? ”
"What shall I say then?"
Ding Chen was already in an extremely tyrannical mood, and Xiahoudun's words suddenly made him unable to control it anymore.
"He, Cao Cao, can abandon his wife for his own selfishness, completely disregarding.
And we, however, tremble and worry in the city of Luoyang. When he left Sister and Ang behind, did he ever think about our safety? Now, he came to mingle with those Raush rebels and thieves, and raised an army to fight against the prime minister.
Don't you know that if he does this, it will make Sister Ah and Ang more dangerous? ”
Ding Chen was about to lose control of the anger in his heart, and his body trembled slightly.
Xiahoudun was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
To be honest, before this, he really didn't care about the safety of Mrs. Ding and Cao Ang, he only felt that Cao Cao took advantage of the situation, which was a matter of course.
But......
Even if he really thought about it, would he oppose Cao Cao's decision?
Xiahoudun swallowed his saliva, and said in a somewhat astringent voice: "Ziyang, you should know that Meng De is not ...... He's actually been very concerned about you. It's just that now above the court, the traitorous party is rampant, controlling the government, bullying the Son of Heaven, and abusing living beings. Meng De blamed himself, saying that he failed to kill Dong Thief, and he was ashamed of the common people.
This time, Qiao Gong spread the word to the world and discussed the national thieves, and the heroes were all rejoicing.
Meng De also made a living for the people of the world, so he stepped forward and joined the coalition army, and those who did it changed the life of the people in the world. ”
Xiahoudun is majestic and burly, and his appearance is more upright.
At first, he stuttered a little, but the more he spoke, the smoother he became, the more excited he became, and even more arrogant in the end.
"Ziyang, don't blame Meng De.
I believe that my sister-in-law and Angding can understand Meng De's distress.
I never expected that I would meet you here, Meng De also said a few days ago that Ziyang was not there, and he felt deeply uncomfortable.
Why don't you go with me to meet Meng De today, and I am sure he will be happy to meet you. ”
The anger in my heart is gradually dissipating.
Listening to Xiahoudun's words, Ding Chen felt as if he was not as angry as he was just now, but had an inexplicable sadness.
Behind him, there was the sound of hooves.
Gao Shun and Hu Che'er led their troops to arrive.
However, it seemed a little strange to see Ding Chen immediately confronting the enemy.
Gao Shun did not attack immediately, but raised his hand to signal that the trappers should not move rashly, and lined up behind Ding Chen.
After a great victory, the morale of the soldiers in the battle is booming.
Although it has only been a few months of training, the foundation of this trapper is there, so the effect is better.
Xiahoudun couldn't help but light up when he saw the trapped soldiers.
He is not a rookie on the battlefield, and he can see at a glance the extraordinaryness of those trapped soldiers.
If, if Cao Cao has such a strong army under his account, why worry about the big thing? Of course, it would be better if he could be in command......
It's just that he didn't see Ding Chen's strange face.
Just as he was about to speak, Yu Ban had calmed down and hurried to Xiahoudun's side.
He also saw the trapper clearly, and was suddenly shocked.
When he was in Goat's Pass just now, he hurriedly met the battle, and he didn't see the situation of the trapper clearly. Now that I saw it clearly, I was even more frightened.
Don't look at Xiahoudun with seven or eight hundred people, plus those defeated soldiers, more than a thousand people.
But if you go head-to-head, you can't win!
"Cangsheng? Yi! ”
Ding Chen suddenly sneered.
At first, his laughter was small, but later on, it became louder and louder.
He straddled his horse and said sharply: "Yuan Rang, take back all your words that deceived children."
What does the common people have to do with me, and I don't ask for righteousness.
I only know that Cao Ah deceived me and Sister A in the land of tigers and wolves, and I only know that he makes us worry every day.
I don't care if Dong Zhuo is a national thief.
I only know that after Cao Apu ran away, it was he who sent someone to protect Cao's mansion, so that Sister Ah and Ang would not be harmed by the villain. I only know that he didn't care about Cao A's assassination, but entrusted me with a heavy responsibility and asked me to guard the Hucheng Pavilion.
The common people? Yi?
I trembled, and who cared about me when I was in that wolf's lair?
Sister Ah doesn't dare to sleep every night, and when Ang is alone and frightened, can that righteousness be used? Where is the common people? ”
Ding Chen roared angrily, echoing in the sky.
"I don't have any ambitions, but I can be by my sister's side, and I'm happy to be at ease.
But because of this Laoshzi's 'common life and righteousness', I had to run out to fight and fight. I could have avoided killing people, but in the past few months, hundreds of people have died at my hands. Is this your life and righteousness? ”
Xiahoudun's face changed several times, and he became gloomy.
He finally realized that he was a little self-inflicted......
After Cao Cao left Luoyang, what happened?
No one knows, and no one wants to know, even Cao Cao, who never really cares.
However, from Ding Chen's words, he heard resentment, deep resentment!
This also made Xiahoudun feel a little bad.
Thinking of this, he stabilized his mind and subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand.
"Ziyang, I don't know about you, but I know that Meng De is not a merciless person.
Now, I'm going to occupy Hucheng Pavilion.
Ziyang, you are a smart person, you should know the truth that those who follow the sky prosper and those who go against the sky die. You can quit Hucheng Pavilion, I will keep your troops safe, otherwise, you and I will meet each other as soldiers, and if there is anything wrong at that time, I am afraid that my sister-in-law will also be sad. ”
Xiahoudun wanted to use Mrs. Ding to increase Ding Chen's concerns, and logically speaking, there was no problem.
However, he didn't know the agreement between Ding Chen and Dong Zhuo.
If he retreats without a fight, then he will really hurt Sister A......
Ding Chen sneered, and the soul-conjuring void slashed in one style, and said sharply: "Xiahoudun, put away that trick to coax children." I will make it clear, as long as I, Ding Chen, am in Hucheng Pavilion for a day, I will not disobey your thoughts. ”
With that, he suddenly lifted the conjuring spirit above his head.
The trapped soldier behind him suddenly shouted: "The will to be trapped, there is death and no life!" ”
Hula, the formation spreads out.
The original phalanx changed into a cone-shaped array in an instant.
"The momentum of the charge, there is no advance or retreat!"
Under the command of Gao Shun, the trappers marched forward.
They advance in a very strange posture, half of their bodies hidden behind their shields, one foot in front and one in the back, advancing sideways.
The ring-headed knife glowed with a touch of cold light in the moonlight.
That incomparable momentum was raised to the extreme in an instant, and there seemed to be a thick murderous aura between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Xiahoudun and Yu Ban couldn't help but gasp.
How can such a strong soldier face it?
Both of them are people who know the soldiers, and they also have a very clear grasp of the situation on the battlefield.
"Yuan Rang, can you capture Ding Chen and make him defeated?"
At this time, Ding Chen had already retreated to the flank of the cone formation, and he and Hu Che'er each led fifty horsemen, staring closely at Xiahoudun and the others.
At this moment, Ding Chen handed over the command to Gao Shun.
And he blended into the trap soldiers, waiting for Gao Shun's orders.
Charging into battle, even if Lu Bu is the first, he is not afraid; But when it comes to marching and fighting, commanding in battle, he is not as good as Gao Shun.
Even in Ding Chen's opinion, looking at Dong Zhuo's account, there are very few people who can be compared with Gao Shun.
Zhang Liao is a soldier who knows the army, and in terms of vision and tactics, he is definitely stronger than Gao Shun. But if the two of them each lead a soldier and horse and place them on the battlefield, Ding Chen believes that the person who wins in the end must be Gao Shun, not Zhang Liao.
He and Gao Shun glanced at each other, and from Gao Shun's eyes, they could see Gao Shun's thoughts.
Ziyang, don't delay any longer!
After a long time, when they stabilize their position, I am afraid that it will take some twists and turns.
Ding Chen nodded and looked at Xiahoudun.
"Yuan Rang, read the love of the year, now retreat, Rao Er will not die."
Xiahoudun's face became ugly, and he stared at Ding Chen, feeling angry and a little afraid.
He said softly: "Ziyang's courage is by no means idle.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, Meng De led his troops to hunt down Zhang Bao, and it was Ziyang who single-handedly entered the Chinese army and killed Zhang Bao.
Mende called him 'the best in the world', and he was only fifteen years old.
If it weren't for the laziness of the child, it would not be good to be famous in front of people, but I am afraid that he would have already become famous in the world. If you want to capture him, I will join forces with Miaocai to have a fifty percent chance of winning. ”
Fei Lian was a general under the King of Shang during the Yin Shang period, and he was as famous as the evil.
Although the reputation of the king of Shang is not very good, Fei Lian and Evil are synonymous with the Han Dynasty people often used to describe fierce generals.
Yu Ban's face also changed, swallowed his saliva, and smiled softly and bitterly.
Cao Gong has such a fierce general, why did he abandon it in Luoyang?
Of course, he didn't say it, he just complained in his heart. Cao Cao's situation at that time, no one knew it, and leaving Ding Chen in Luoyang may really be a last resort. But now, this former relative has become an enemy.
To fight, or not to fight?
"Yuan Rang, what do you think?"
Xiahoudun really has no bottom in his heart.
Fighting alone, he is not Ding Chen's opponent; Fighting arrays? Looking at the other party's situation, you know that it is an extraordinary strong army.
"Retreat!"
He took a deep breath and slowly raised the spear in his hand, signaling his troops to retreat.
"Ziyang, I know that you are now angry and have lost your cool, and I don't care about you.
Tomorrow, General Meng De will personally lead the army to come, and if you are so stubborn again, don't blame me for not remembering the love of the year. ”
Ding Chen heard this, but smiled.
He looked at Xiahoudun and said coldly: "Go back and tell Ah Pu, just say that if he dares to come, I will kill him!" ”
