In fact, Huaxiong's soldiers and horses did not all confront Liu Jian head-on, and the soldiers and horses in his rear were still responsible for guarding and escorting the siege equipment transferred from Si Li, as for the soldiers and horses that fell into Yangxia led by him, they were just the elite of his front.

It stands to reason that when the weapons and the brigade have not yet arrived, this kind of moment should not easily attack Yangxia City.

However, the infighting between Chen Wang Liu Chong and Liu Jian made Hua Xiong feel that Yangxia County had an opportunity, so he was unprepared and led the crowd to raid.

But all of a sudden, Huaxiong's vanguard completely fell into Yangxia, and even he himself got in.

After learning of what had happened to the front of Huaxiong, the soldiers of Huaxiong's rear army did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the news to Hu Zhen.

After Hu Zhen heard the news, he was not calm.

Before he knew it, his body began to tremble.

Hua Xiong is a great general in the Xiliang Army, he was captured alive, this matter is not trivial!

If Xiangguo knows about this, then, what should he do?

Thinking of this, Hu Zhen couldn't help but leave beads of sweat on his head, and his clothes were even soaked through sweat.

Dong Zhuo's temperament, Hu Zhen still understands, Niu Fu was captured alive before, maybe Dong Zhuo can still bear it, saying that Niu Fu is light and unprepared, and underestimated Liu Jian.

But the own side is after Niu Fu, and the mistakes that should be made and the drawbacks that should have occurred have been missed by Niu Fu once, and they can't be made again.

If Hua Xiong was defeated by Liu Jian for a while, Hu Zhen still had a way to justify Dong Zhuo, but Hua Xiong was not only defeated, but also captured...... It is estimated that Dong Zhuo can't bear it.

As a protector of the capital, I am afraid that I will have to be cleaned up by Dong Zhuo this time.

As soon as he thought of Dong Zhuo's ruthless methods, Hu Zhen felt that his chest was blocked in a panic.

Sima Cheng of Xiliang next to him saw that Hu Zhen's face was not good, and he looked sad in cold sweat, and he also knew that Hu Zhen was too afraid in his heart at the moment.

Cheng Kan is also an old man in the Xiliang Army, and he understands what Hu Zhen is afraid of, it is their Xiangguo Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo has a fiery temper, everyone in the Liangzhou army knows it.

Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible for Dong Zhuo to kill Hu Zhen because of this matter.

Cheng Kan immediately admonished Hu Zhen: "Dadu Hu doesn't have to worry, although Hua Xiong was defeated and captured by Liu Jiansheng, this matter is not the fault of Dadu Hu alone."

Hu Zhen secretly said in his heart: Of course this matter is not my responsibility! That Huaxiong didn't listen to me, led his troops to raid without authorization, was unprepared, and was cleaned up by Liu Jian, that was his own stupidity.

But the problem is that as a major protector, whoever makes a mistake will have to blame me.

My military position is big, but I also have a lot of responsibilities.

Hu Zhen sighed: "Whether it's my responsibility or not, I'm afraid it will inevitably be heavily blamed by Xiangguo!"

Cheng Kan said: "Even if Xiangguo wants to blame Dadu Hu, then there is another person who will be punished with Dadu Hu."

Hu Zhen looked at him suspiciously.

Cheng Kanyan said, "Lu is also a fellow traveler, and this matter must also have his responsibility!"

To tell the truth, Hu Zhen really wanted to put this black cauldron on Lu Bu's head, but Lu Bu is now in the rear army, and he didn't make do with Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen at all, why do you put this responsibility on others?

Besides, Lu Bu is not Hua Xiong's superior, Hua Xiong acted without authorization, and he couldn't fight with Lu Bu, so it was really difficult to rely on him.

Hu Zhen shook his head and didn't say much.

Na Chengkan hurriedly said: "Xiangguo is a man who looks at the world, and has the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, and the grievances and entanglements between the Liangzhou army and the Bingzhou army, Xiangguo knows a little about it,"

"There is discord between Dadu Hu and Lu Bu, and it is impossible for Xiangguo not to know, but he still let Dadu Hu and Lu Bu deal with Liu Jian together, and what he did was just to let the two of them balance each other,"

"Xiangguo is a person who is proficient in power, and he should use his troops like this, and he and Lu Bu should go together, attack together, or help each other, or check and balance each other, this is also Xiangguo

I want to see it."

"But Na Lu Bu didn't respect the orders of the Dadu household, not only sneered at the Dadu Protector and Hua Tu, but also provoked the Dadu Protector and Hua Tu to lead their troops on their own, but he didn't act with the two of them."

"As the governor of the left road, he should have been restrained by the protection of the capital, but he went the opposite way and hid behind the rear hall, General Hua is a brave and honest person, Lu Bu used this method to provoke General Hua, how could he not lose his mind? To fight for meritorious service?"

"In my opinion, Lu Bu can't escape from this matter! The general can advise Xiangguo on this matter, and make it clear that the situation is true, and it is expected that Xiangguo will be judged!"

Speaking of conscience, Cheng Kan's remarks are purely a bit stinky and shameless!

You don't care if Lu Bu provokes you or not, but you are all willing to rush forward.

As a result, you failed, and in the end, you will put the blame on the head of Lu Bu!

How unreasonable to think about this!

Most of the warriors in the Xiliang Army also disdain to do this kind of prevarication, but Hu Zhen's department is a special case in the Xiliang Army.

Although Hu Zhen is also a brave and warlike person, he has a lot of deceitful thoughts and is not straightforward.

He is a villain in the Western Liang Army, because his family and Dong Zhuo's family interests are more transferred, and when Dong Zhuo recruited troops in Liangzhou, Hu Zhen's family also gave Dong Zhuo great support.

And the two clans also have younger generations to marry, so Hu Zhen won Dong Zhuo's trust and reuse in the Xiliang Army.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords from all walks of life appointed generals, although they also looked more at their talents, but more often they were based on entanglements of interests.

It's not that there is nothing talented to learn, and talented people will definitely be reused.

People with talents and no background are reused, which is actually not in line with the development law of ancient human society.

This is a starkly harsh reality.

It is Cao Cao, who admired meritocracy all his life, and issued several recruitment orders, but the highest-ranking military attaches used by his government in the army are also relatives of Cao and Xiahou.

Dong Zhuo is even more vulgar.

Hu Zhen listened to Kan's advice, narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and saw him slowly nod and said, "Reasonable!"

It's not that this method can make Hu Zhen evade responsibility, as a big capital, he must bear the responsibility!

But if Lu Bula can be put into the water, Hu Zhen will definitely not hesitate to do it.

After figuring it all out, Hu Zhen said, "That's it! In any case, write a letter to Xiang Guo to explain this matter first." ……

And just when Huaxiong's strategy against Yangxia City failed, Dong Zhuo made substantial progress in the war with Yuan Shao.

Although Cai Mao, Huang Zu, Wen Ping and others stuck to Yangxia County, and the defense was extremely tight, and Dong Zhuo did not let Dong Zhuo attack, but Dong Zhuo was a person who was good at fighting after all, and he was quite accurate in seeing things and had the means.

In response to the opponent's shrinking tactics, Dong Zhuo also adopted a corresponding strategy.

He began to crack down on the family industry of some noble families in Nanyang around the Yang people. z.br>

The reason for the attack is very simple, and there is also an official name, that is, they fornicated with Zhang Jiao to seek rebellion.

At that time, Liu Jian once handed over the letters left by Zhang Jiao to Dong Zhuo, which also gave Dong Zhuo a counterweight to attack the high-ranking families above the court.

When Zhang Jiao started the incident, all the county clans were more or less colluded with Zhang Jiao, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to capture the family interests in the government.

Such selfish behavior and disregard for the interests of the country was the consistent norm of the Haoyou clans in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

But who would have thought that these letters would end up in Dong Zhuo's hands, which is really breathtaking.

However, Dong Zhuo also deliberately asked people to collect a lot, including Zhang Jiao's handwriting and documents, and even the charms and prescriptions he wrote in the people, Dong Zhuo collected a lot, and also gathered many witnesses to record confessions.

Just so that these things can be proved to be true at a critical moment!

He used it as a sword to deal with the noble right men who did not obey him.

Admittedly, this stuff is very effective, but also makes

Dong Zhuo's relationship with the targeted ethnic groups is irreconcilable.

In fact, there is no need to reconcile.

Today's Dong Zhuo, in order to win against Yuan Shao, began to deal with the Wang clan in Nanyang County, and the reason is that these people had colluded with Zhang Jiao to cholera the world, which was a heinous rebellion.

The reason is very sufficient, the evidence is very clear, and these people are directly classified as traitors and cannot turn over!

It's a complete tear in the face.

The reason why Yuan Shao's current power is so strong is all because of the support of these people behind him, and now there is an endless move between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, and since these families all support Yuan Shao, they are Dong Zhuo's mortal enemies, and Dong Zhuo naturally has no need to get used to them.

Dong Zhuo's use of troops against several major families in the northern part of Nanyang County can be said to have violated their interests in the county, which is a real frontal declaration of war, and these families cannot bear it.

Others don't say it, just talking about Xu Yu alone, several mansions and fields and warehouses of his family in the north of Nanyang were collected by the Xiliang soldiers and suffered heavy losses.

Xu You, a person who is so greedy for money, how can he endure this?

I'm not done with you!

He immediately united with the patriarchs of several local families in Nanyang County, cried to Yuan Shao, and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to help them get justice.

Yuan Shao's strategy of using troops was originally to defend steadily, but now a local family that is related to his political lifeline has asked him to send troops.

It was impossible for Yuan Shao to ignore the feelings of these families, because he wanted to control Nanyang County, relying on these people.

This is the sorrow of a warlord who is under the family private army system,

Although such a structure can make its power skyrocket unprecedentedly, and it can also achieve unity at critical moments, once it comes to the interests of local families, it is easy for the monarch to be swayed by the following people.

It's not that he wants to be swayed by these people, but he has to do it in order to stabilize the balance of forces within his own borders.

Under the pleading of the family leaders led by Xu You, Yuan Shao could only temporarily change his original intention of using troops, and forcibly required Cai Mao and Huang Zu to lead troops to battle.

Although this matter was resolutely opposed by Cai Mao and Huang Zu, Yuan Shao forced the dispatch of troops.

As soon as the troops are sent to fight, the consequences can be imagined.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry, invincible in the field!

Huang Zu and Cai Mao were defeated, even Wen Ping, and they were almost killed by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

After the defeat of the First World War and heavy losses, Yuan's army could only return to Yangren again, recruit troops again, and expand its military strength.

After Dong Zhuo won for a while, he was very happy,

He immediately feasted on the three armies and rewarded the soldiers.

After the banquet, Dong Zhuo was very happy, drinking and singing, and indulged!

"Gentlemen, this great victory is all due to the kings fighting to the death and competing for meritorious service, and the old man and the monarchs will drink together again!"

At this time, Dong Zhuo was already drunk, he raised the wine vessel again, raised his head and drank it full.

Then, he saw Dong Zhuo put down the wine lord and said, "Yuan Shao, a thief, in the past, he always looked down on the old man, but now he finally let him and the group of insects under him know how powerful the old man is!" Hahaha~!"

Guo Yan said with a smile: "I heard that Dadu Hu and Hua Xiong, Lu Bu and others have formulated a battle plan with Liu Jian, and the three of them are all fierce generals who are good at using troops and can recruit and fight habitually, and the last official thinks that in less than a month, they will be able to conquer Yangxia, slaughter Chen State, and bring back Liu Jian and Liu Chong's heads for Xiangguo!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed: "I won't tell you, the old man has also had a premonition recently, Hu Zhen, Lu Bu, and Huaxiong will be able to conquer and return, maybe at this moment, they have already stood at the head of Yangxia City and captured Liu Jiansheng!?" Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations to Sangkook."

"Congratulations Sangkook!"

While everyone was drinking and talking, a guard hurriedly came to Dong Zhuo and said, "Xiangguo, Hu Dadu has urgent military affairs, and ordered someone to send it in the starry night, and show Xiangguo!"

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this.

Fan Chou said happily: "Haha, what is it really about! Just now I also said that Hu Dadu protected them and defeated Liu Jian,

Look, before you can finish this meal, the good news comes back!"

Yang Ding arched his hand and said: "Xiangguo has defeated Yuan Shao and Liu Jian in a row, the soldiers are fierce, and the hegemony can be achieved!" Who is still an opponent within the four seas?"

"Congratulations Sangkook!"

"Congratulations Sangkook!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face was full of joy.

"Hahahaha, good! Good! To be destroyed Yuan Shao, Liu Jian and other generations, the world is stable, a certain and the monarchs, share wealth and wealth, and enjoy peace! Hahahaha!"

"Thank you Sangkook!"

"Xie Xiangguo!"

Dong Zhuo said to himself happily: "Liu Deran, Liu Deran, let you go against the old man? This time, you know how powerful the old man is, right? Hahaha, you deserve to have a way to live, you want to die! …… Come on! Bring me the battle report!"

The guard immediately stepped forward and handed Hu Zhen's battle report to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo didn't open it in a hurry, but pointed at Yang Ding and said, "Come on, come on, this good news should be shared with all the princes!" Read it!"

"Yui!"

Yang Ding hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the slip, unfolded it, and read it aloud.

His voice was cheerful, crisp and crisp.

"His subordinate Hu Zhen risked his death to report, on October 17 of the third year of the first peace, Hua Xiong heard that Liu was fighting and fire, and did not ask for instructions, and led his troops to attack Yangxia, and set up a fire plan for Liu Thief in the city, losing more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, Hua Xiong himself was captured by Liu Jun Guan Yusheng, and he didn't know if his life could be saved, so he asked Xiangguo to give him the guilt......

Yang Ding was still happy to read at first, but the more he read, the more he found that something was wrong, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

And in the whole field, Shicai was still happy, and at this moment, it suddenly became silent, and the fallen leaves could be heard.

All of them didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

Dong Zhuo was holding the wine jue, and there was still a smile on his face, but his smile was extremely stiff at the moment, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched back and forth, and the green tendons on his forehead seemed to begin to beat.

After a while, Fang listened to Dong Zhuo say slowly:

"Yes, this is, this is...... Is this another one captured?"

Yang Ding was closest to Dong Zhuo, and he was very embarrassed when he heard the words, but it was not good not to answer.

"That...... Well, don't worry about Xiangguo, I guess ...... I guess there will be two at most, and there will never be a third......

"Poof!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Dong Zhuo's eyes roll and fall backwards directly.

I don't know if I'm angry, or I've drunk too much.

"Sangkook!"
