The days of March are changing.

Yesterday the sky was clear, but today it is starting to be gloomy.

At this time, in the Taishan army camp outside Heyang City, a sacrifice began in this hazy and cloudy sky.

Zhang Dan held the torch with a sad face and lit the pyre drenched with fire oil.

In the raging fire, Li Kang's body lay there like this, and a head carved from wood took its place, leaving Li Kang's body intact.

Zhang Dan once asked people to negotiate with the Han army in Guannei and ask them to send back Li Kang's head, and they were willing to pay with 100 gold, but Guannai just replied:

"Our big man is short of money?"

In the end, Li Kang's head was not sent back, and Zhang Dan cremated Li Kang's body with regret.

At the cremation ceremony, the saddest person who cried the most was Shi Bi, this eight-foot man cried like a child, out of breath.

He thought that it was his absence that made Li Dare die, and he asked Zhang Dan for battle, asking to act as a trap and avenge Li Dang.

But Zhang Dan shook his head and told Shi Bi to rest well and recuperate.

Zhang Dan is like this, the more critical the moment, the more stable he is. Li Kang's death did not anger Zhang Dan, he understood that such a direct attack on Heyang City would not benefit the battle situation except for increasing casualties.

At this moment, Zhang Dan was like a hunting leopard, he endured hunger and fatigue, watching the fat antelopes dance unbridled in front of him.

He restrained his minions, restrained his anger, and waited quietly.

Is he going to wait for an opportunity until a complete judgment is held on those sinners?

Hum! You're rich, aren't you?

……

On 16 March, a cavalry regiment from Kyoto to the front line of Ha Duong was slowly pouring into Ha Yin Castle on the south bank.

The former Mengjin Ferry has been built into a huge barracks at this time, and there is a lot of noise and chaos everywhere.

The chief general of this cavalry regiment is called Zhu Fu, the eldest son of Zhu Jun, the current general of Pingxi, who is only twenty-six years old, but he has been in the army for ten years with his father.

This time, he was ordered by his father to take 500 Yue cavalry to support the three cities of Heyang.

After learning that the general had overthrown the army in the Qin Plain, Zhu Jun realized that the three cities of Heyang were the only remaining defenses in Kyoto, so even though it was difficult, he still supported his most elite five hundred Yue cavalry.

These 500 horsemen were brought by Zhu Jun from the Pingyue Thief Rebellion, and he had experienced the Battle of Runan and the Battle of Cuihan, which can be said to be the most elite armament in Zhu Jun's hands.

But even if this Yue cavalry is elite, what is unpredictable is what is the use of these cavalry needed to defend Heyang City.

Zhu Jundian's rider will be his eldest son, Zhu Fu.

This makes Zhu Fu even more confused, because he is a pure cavalry general, and he doesn't know anything about the method of defending the city, what is the use of his father letting us go to Heyang?

But Zhu Fu has one good thing, that is, he knows that he is stupid, so he listens to whatever his father says.

Speaking of this, Zhu Jun is also quite sad, as a world-famous marshal and military minister, but his two sons are not inferior to him, they are both middle-aged people.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jun attaches more importance to some young men, such as Sun Jian, and hopes that one or two of them can stand out, and they can also help their two unsuccessful sons in the future.

But he said that at this time, Zhu Fu looked at the mess of Heyin City, and looked down on the He family in his heart.

Didn't these people rely on the relationship between Empress Dowager He, people were above themselves and others? These are the people who shed blood for the Han family.

When Zhu Fu despised Heyin's bad military discipline, Lu Kang, a staff member on the side, had just settled the five hundred horsemen who had entered the customs and were walking over.

Seeing Zhu Fu like this, he couldn't help but persuade:

"Ah Fu, it's still rare to show such a disdainful color, then He Rong is not generous. We are here to support Heyang Pass, not to settle grudges. ”

Lu Kang added:

"Don't think that this He Rong is incompetent, in fact, as long as his surname is He, this position is his. There are many martial artists who can fight, and there are many He Rong, but at this time, his position, and his surname He are reassuring to everyone. ”

Although Lu Kang was an assistant to the Zhu Jun shogunate, he also held a position in the imperial court, so he was regarded as a minister of the Han family, and there was no clear subordinate relationship with the Pingxi shogunate of the Zhu family.

At the same time, Lu Kang himself is also highly respected, he is close to fifty this year, which is the time of the highest political prestige, he was the 2,000 stone of the imperial court back then, but he was slandered by the eunuch and was taken away.

Later, he was reinstated as a councilor, and later because of his hometown, he was used by Zhu Jun and became a staff member.

And Zhu Jun has always respected Lu Kang, and this time he was invited to help his eldest son, so Zhu Fu is a child in front of Lu Kang, and there is no problem at all to call him by his nickname.

But Zhu Fu didn't care about what Lu Kang said, he shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Then He Jin doesn't know where the scatter has gone, their He family is finished, then He Rong himself is difficult to protect, what else do you want?"

Seeing that Lu Kang was going to persuade again, Zhu Fu stopped talking:

"Okay, okay, Lu Gong, I understand what you mean, I can listen more and talk less?"

What else can Lu Kang say? I can only say in one fell spur:

"I have settled Yueqi, you and I will visit He Rong first, don't say anything else, first get through this difficult situation in front of you, you also understand your father, he has been eating for the court situation in the past few days, don't make any trouble for him."

When Zhu Fu heard this, he really became honest, he glanced at the group of Sanguan guards with contempt, and then followed Lu Kang towards Heyang City on the north bank.

Walking from the south bank to the north shore is not far, about four miles away, the two of them have no walk, they can only walk.

It doesn't matter if Zhu Fu walks young, Lu Kang is old in the end, and he starts to get tired after walking for a while.

At this time, a pair of sturdy hands grabbed Lu Kang, and then carried him on his back, but it was Zhu Fu who felt sorry for the old man and directly carried him on his back.

Lu Kang's heart was warm, he knew that this kid was like this, his heart was not bad, but he was too inconsiderate.

And in this troubled world, the better the heart, the worse the fate, so Lu Kang couldn't help but teach him:

"Boy, do you know why your father asked you to come to Heyang City?"

Zhu Fu carried Lu Kang on his back, his steps were not chaotic at all, showing a solid kung fu, at this moment listening to Lu Gong talk about this, Zhu Fu thought for a while, and replied:

"The boy met the Taishan Army when he was in Runan before, at that time we were on the east bank of Rushui, and the Taishan Army and the Huangfu Marshal were on the west bank, and it was also that battle that we knew how powerful the Taishan Army was. Think about what kind of person is the emperor? That's what my father and commander have to respect, but just like that, he almost died at the hands of a thief. ”

Lu Kang didn't know much about this story, he was stripped of his official position and idle in his hometown of Wu County during the Yellow Turban Uprising, so he would also listen carefully to Zhu Fu's past.

Zhu Fu sighed:

"In that battle, we were besieging Ma Yuanyi and Bocai's coalition army on the east bank, in fact, it was also a difficult battle, if the Taishan army fought us that time, our father and son might have died in that battle. Therefore, I know the combat power of the Taishan Army very well, and I don't think that a person like He Rong can hold Heyang City. ”

Lu Kang bowed his head, and he said bluntly:

"Yes, now it is only the Taishan Army that is surrounded by Ha Duong, and it is said that the whole of Hanoi has already fallen by the wind at this time. No matter how slow the army of the thieves is, they will be able to reach the outside of Heyang City in three or two days, and when the time comes, they will have 100,000 soldiers on the north bank, and Heyang will not be able to hold it no matter how strong it is. ”

At this moment, Zhu Fu was not calm, he scolded:

"Then the father still asked us to come to Heyang City? Isn't this pushing my son into the fire? ”

Lu Kang knocked Zhu Fu's head and scolded:

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, you, you'll understand later. Now let's go and meet He Rong first, I still have something to talk to him about. ”

Zhu Fu was speechless, so he could only speed up his pace.

The young people are fast, and after a little while, they came to Heyang City.

Don't look at how much Zhu Fu looks down on He Rong, when He Rong personally went out to greet the two of them, Zhu Fu still smiled like something.

In the final analysis, Zhu Fu is still a young man, and he regards the scene as the most important.

He Rong had just won a small victory yesterday, and he was also happy in his heart, so he was also very enthusiastic when he received Zhu Fu and Lu Kang.

In fact, He Rong himself also knew that although they still had the Empress Dowager He on it, with He Jin's delay in showing up after the overthrow of the army, the situation of the He family had become more and more dangerous.

At this time, the support of another powerful marshal in the east was crucial for their He clan to get through this difficulty.

And He Rong also felt that this time was also an opportunity for him.

If he can block the Taishan Army outside Heyang Pass, when the time comes, it will not be impossible for him to replace He Jin as the general.

After all, all you need to be a general is the surname He, and it doesn't have to be He Jin, do you say that's the truth?

Even, He Rong had secretly wondered if he was worried about this because his brother had not come to him for a long time.

After He Rong welcomed the two into Heyang City, he not only set up a banquet with a high standard, but also found a group of dancing girls.

As a result, outside the city of Heyang is the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and inside the city is the staggered planning and singing.

It's really half dead in front of the soldiers, and the beauties are still singing and dancing.

And this He Rong does have a set of things, not only did he entertain Zhu Fu and them here in Heyang, but the five hundred Yue riders who were left in Heyin by Zhu Fu also had wine and meat, and it can be said that the rain and dew were stained.

Things are done beautifully, He Rong is also clever in treating people, anyway, the young Zhu Fu was confused, this will be slightly drunk, and he will pat his chest vigorously:

"With me Zhu Fu here, I will teach Taishan thieves not to dare to enter our Heyang City."

For this sentence, He Rong just smiled and didn't speak.

What he values is Zhu Fu, and with him here, it is actually Zhu Jun's support and platform for him.

How could He Rong not understand this?

So, He Rong gave Zhu Fu another toast, and then said mysteriously:

"Zhu Jun, I hit it off with you at first sight, and today I'll show you a treasure of the world."

After speaking, He Rong asked the family to get old and prepare.

The old man wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed, and went down helplessly.

……

The family is always from He Jin's father's generation, and he has always served the He family, and at this moment he worriedly walked to the next door of the military mansion to prepare the rare treasure that He Rong said.

The old family can't understand that the previous generation of the He family is still hard and simple, although there are no great talents in the family, but doing things makes people feel down-to-earth.

But just one generation, the elder of the family has watched the He family's style degenerate. The head of the family, He Jin, is okay, and he is still relatively old-fashioned, but He Rong, who has grown up in these new generations, is all contaminated with some crooked things.

Sometimes the elders of the family are really confused, why are the children educated, but this is not as good as the fathers?

Thinking of this, he also felt sorry for the young man named Yang Feng, who was also a hard-working person!

Walking into the courtyard, the old man saw the beautiful young man at a glance, and sighed in his heart:

"It's a wonder that male and female are hard to distinguish."

When he came, Yang Feng was sitting by the well sharpening his knife, and there were several military officials standing beside him.

Yang Feng sharpened his knife very seriously, and poured a little water on the whetstone after a while. After a while, under his craftsmanship, a short knife was already sharp.

At this moment, after seeing the old man coming, Yang Feng handed the short knife to a military official next to him, and instructed:

"Even if you don't use this knife, sharpen it more. Knives are good knives, don't mess with them. And you are also a samurai, you want to lick the blood from the knife, how you treat it on a daily basis, it will treat you how it treats. Weekday care, the key to life. ”

After saying that, he ignored those people anymore, but watched the old family come over.

Yang Feng didn't speak, but returned to the house, and when he came out again, he was already wearing heavy makeup, wearing a skirt, and floated out.

All the officials were stunned, and although they only glanced at it a few times, it was already the most beautiful scenery they had seen in their lives.

They are all rough embryos in the army, and they can't imagine that a man is more gorgeous than all the women in the world.

In the end, the old man asked people to search Yang Feng, and after seeing that it was safe, he took Yang Feng away, leaving only the fragrant breeze lingering in the courtyard between everyone's mouths and noses, and it could not be dispersed for a long time.

In the crowd, the military official who took the short knife from Yang Feng's hand couldn't help but pinch the short knife and secretly hid it in his arms.

……

Yang Feng entered the hall with a group of singers.

When they entered, He Rong and the others were already drunk and red, and even Lu Kang was lying in the broad chest of a dancing girl, drunk into mud.

But after Yang Feng and his party entered, everyone's eyes were attracted by Yang Feng.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

At this moment, there was a lot of light in the military mansion, and Yang Feng's beauty shone here, and everyone's eyes were shining.

Zhu Fu, who was still playing with red grapes in his hand, opened his mouth even more stupidly, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and was about to turn around and ask He Rong.

I saw that He Rong didn't know when he had stood up, and walked down the hall with a confused look.

Looking at the gorgeous Yang Feng, He Rong asked blankly:

"Shall I call you Aroko?"

Yang Feng smiled, and then pulled out his hairpin, and inserted it into He Rong's neck in the long hair falling.

Blood gushed out from He Rong's neck, and he covered his wounds with great difficulty, and slowly fell to the ground. Over there, Zhu Fu was already frightened, and was about to get up, when Yang Feng caught up with him and fell to the ground in two steps.

Then, Yang Feng stepped on Zhu Fu's chest, and then used Zhu Fu's own meat cleaver to cut his throat.

In an instant, a banquet turned into a blood feast.

Both the host and the guest died, and only Lu Kang still slept happily in the boundless expanse.
