Volume 2 Xiangjiang River Goes North Chapter 3 Preparations for War (3)

On the evening of 16 August, the candles in the county order house were lit up for a long time -- Dong Yi and his staff stayed awake all night.

It's not that I'm so nervous that I can't sleep. Xiliang Jian'er, who grew up licking blood from the knife edge, couldn't scare them at all. They just discussed and analyzed for a night, and they didn't figure out why the situation had changed so abruptly.

Ou Zhen's death was purely just an accident, as for letting the barbarians raise the flag of rebellion with great fanfare?

On August 16, in front of the county temple, Dong Yi witnessed this unfortunate traffic accident. In the early morning of the white dew season, the dew has not yet dissipated, and outside the gate of the county temple, the road paved with bluestone slabs is very slippery. A frightened horse that had lost its hoof, snorted and dragged its rider to stumble straight into the area where he had just stepped off the ox cart.

The dove staff was knocked away, and Ou Zhen hit the ground in the back of his head, and the red and white ones flowed out, killing him on the spot.

The barbarian was brave, and seeing that Ou Zhen couldn't live, his two relatives immediately rioted, wanting to seek revenge on the knight who caused the accident.

Dong Yi recovered from the shock and immediately drank: "Take them!" ”

The perpetrator, Dong Yi and his left and right know each other - he is Dong Yi's brother, the general of the Broken Captives, and the personal guard of Dong Zhuo, the marquis of the township, Niu Fu.

Such a character came to Luo County in person, and there must be important news to pass from his brother. What Dong Yi thought about was to at least listen to the information transmitted by the perpetrator before letting him pay for his life. However, the comradeship is deep, but Li Fang, the head of the south gate of the current county temple, who belongs to the former Xiliang Army and the current county temple south gate, and several pavilion guards will be wrong - they only think that Dong Yi's life is intended to protect the shortcomings of his comrades.

"Kill!"

Li An, who had just transformed from the elite of the imperial border army to the captain of the guard box security team, gave an order, and the two halberd guards stepped forward and stabbed. After the sound of "poof~", the two barbarians were poked to the ground, covering the wound the size of the bowl, only the air came out and there was no air intake.

"Ahh

"Killing ......"

In the early morning, there are not too many pedestrians. A few exclamations sounded sporadically in the streets and alleys, and Dong Yi turned his head to look, but only saw the back of the hastily far away.

"You wait for your wife, I will support myself, don't worry." Dong Yi turned his head, glared at Niu Fu and Li An, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Prepare to apologize for your crimes." ”

When Niu Fu and Li An washed their necks, they were told that Xiang Shang's head was temporarily sent and left for later collection.

After the accident, Dong Yi immediately called Dong Ping to discuss the aftermath. Dong Ping suggested that since there are many eyewitnesses, it may be difficult to completely conceal this matter. People in the market love to catch the wind and shadows, add oil and vinegar. It is better to send someone to the Ou family to report the funeral as soon as possible before the rumors ferment, and according to the truth, Zeng Nuo will deal with it strictly according to the law and compensate vigorously as appropriate.

The matter has come to this point, and Dong Yi has no better way. According to Dong Ping's words, he sent a special envoy to Ou's house to rush to Ou Xing and Ou Shi to explain the situation. In order not to irritate the parties, Dong Ping specially entrusted a local official instead of the old department of Xiliang to act as a special envoy to report the funeral at Oujiachong.

At five o'clock, the envoy Kou Shou set off tremblingly. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kou Shou rushed back to Dong Yi in a trembling manner, muttering "District ~ District ~ up and down ~ batch of hemp and filial piety, it has ~ been reversed ~ reversed".

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Is this true? Dong Yi's eyes widened angrily, and his murderous aura was exposed, which frightened Kou Shou to the ground.

Not long after, another county official came to give a message, saying:

"The barbarians in the county town are in turmoil, smashing and looting in the urban area, and the merchants and righteous men are trying their best to resist, asking the county government to send troops to support."

???

Why is the brute so fast?

Could it be that the first few witnesses were among the barbarians?

If the barbarians in the county already knew about it, why did they wait until noon to have another attack? Could it be that most of the barbarians have arrived outside the city, and the barbarians in the city have attacked at this time, and the inside and outside should be combined to seize the county seat?

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to think carefully, Dong Yi immediately made a decision and ordered to open the Luo County arsenal and arm the officials and servants in the county office.

After the armor was completed, Dong Yi divided the armor into eight teams and sent his personal entourage to lead the team - two teams went to the city to suppress, four teams supported the four city gates in the east, west, north and south, and two teams stayed in the county government as reserves.

Due to the lack of military command personnel, Niu Fu and Li An, who had just been imprisoned in the county prison for a short time, were immediately released.

"For the time being, the heads of the two of you will be deposited, and you must make meritorious contributions!" Dong Yi then said.

If the heads of these two daredevils can be eliminated, Dong Yi will not hesitate at all. In particular, for the manslaughter Niu Fu, Dong Yi couldn't wait to stab him twice.

This person was reckless and caused a big %55 trouble out of thin air, and the news he brought also made Dong Yi quite unhappy.

In March this year, Han Sui killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, with more than 100,000 troops, and marched to encircle Longxi. In April, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Geng led the soldiers of the six counties to attack Han Sui. Longxi guarded Li Xiangru and Jiuquan guarded Huang Yananti, and made peace with Han Sui, and Geng was killed by other drivers. The Hanyang Kingdom called itself the general of Hezhong, united with Han Sui, and then surrounded Hanyang, and Hanyang Taishou Fu Xie died in battle.

Taiwei Zhang Wenfa Youzhou Wuhuan cavalry 3,000 to please Liangzhou, so Zhongshan Xiang, Yuyang Zhang Chunmao recommended himself and asked to lead the cavalry to quell the rebellion. Zhang Wen disagreed, and sent Zhuoxian Ling and Gongsun Zhan, a native of Liaoxi, to lead the team. Zhang Chun, who failed to lead the team, was so angry that he united with Zhang Ju, the Taishan Taishou of the same county, and Qiu Liju, the lord of Wuhuan, also rebelled.

Zhang Chun was originally just unhappy and gathered to make trouble, but he didn't want to rebel, but it was smooth sailing. Captain Gong Qichou of Wuhuan Guard, Liu Zheng of Youbeiping, and Yang Zhong of Liaodong were killed by the rebels under Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju one after another, and the rebels snowballed bigger and bigger, and soon numbered more than 100,000.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, Zhang Ju's brain is hot, and he begins to call himself the Son of Heaven, and he wants to raise the contemporary Han Dynasty, sue him to abdicate the throne, and welcome the princess. When the news reached the imperial court, the Son of Heaven was furious, Zhang Wen was immediately dismissed, and Situ Cui Lie replaced the post of Tai Lieutenant.

Crisis crisis, there is danger, there is an opportunity, Liangzhou natives, Han Zhongliang, general Po, and Hou Dong Zhuo of the township smelled a further opportunity. He began to act aggressively, seeking the position of commander of the rebellion in Liangzhou.

In order to seek the responsibility of the aspect, Dong Zhuo urgently needed a large amount of money to dredge the upper and lower joints and dot Zhang Changshou and other central officials. Dong Zhuo sent his prospective son-in-law Niu Fu to Luo County this time, just to collect debts from his younger brother Dong Yi, and it would be great if he could borrow a little money by the way.

Hearing this, Dong Yi's evil fire couldn't stop surging. Little maid, it costs you money to be the commander of the counterinsurgency, but I don't have to spend money to be the Changsha Taishou? Your career is important, isn't my career important?!

Although Dong Yi didn't dare to be disrespectful to his brother Dong Zhuo, wouldn't it be possible to deal with your plagued Niu Fu according to the law? According to the law, the king's scepter is compared to the knots. and he that beareth the king's scepter is six hundred stones. If any of the officials dare to scold, scold, beat, or insult the king's scepter, they will commit the crime of great rebellion and abandonment of the city.

Dong Yi was angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to take matters into his own hands and slaughter Niu Fu, the scourge of plague. However, if the barbarians had already rebelled, and even wanted to seize the county seat, Dong Yi would not dare to kill people easily - he was worried that it would affect morale and would be misunderstood to show weakness to the barbarian rebels.

Little maid, you'd better die on the way to the barbarians, don't force me to shoot arrows in the back. Dong Yi stared at Niu Fu's back and thought of it with hatred.

After a short time, people from the four city gates sent news one after another, saying that most of the barbarians outside the city had appeared.

After a while, Dong Rong, who went to the county and city, came over in person.

"Ming Gong, the situation in the county and city is not right."

"Huh?"

The county officials had misinformed the news before, and it was not the barbarians who smashed and looted in the market, but the scoundrels in the market under the banner of pacifying the barbaric chaos. The barbarians, on the other hand, were besieged and killed in their own industries, drunken immortal residences and department stores.

The barbarians had no armor or crossbows, and at first, they could barely support themselves by the cover of the door wall. After the armor soldiers sent by the county government arrived to support, they suppressed the crossbow and attacked with iron armor, and the situation quickly fell one-sided.

Dong Rong, who was born as a scout, wanted to capture a few live mouths to torture information, but the righteous soldiers who participated in the siege did not give him a chance - after breaking the door, the righteous soldiers ignored Dong Rong's orders, rushed forward, and stabbed several injured barbarians to death on the spot in an instant.

"The righteous man of Roche?"

"Yes, yes."

In the summer and April of the fourth year of Zhongping, Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng despised the Jincheng thief Han Sui, and the soldiers were defeated. Fufeng people Ma Teng, Hanyang people and the kingdom rebelled, Kou Sanfu. Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen is exempt, and Situ Cui Lie is Tai Lieutenant. In May, Sikong Xu Xiang was Situ, and Guanglu Xun Peiguo Ding Palace was Sikong...... Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, and Zhang Ju, a native of the same county, raised troops to rebel and attacked and killed Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping, Yang Zhong, the Taishou of Liaodong, and Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan.
