Chapter 133: The First Battle of Dong Jun

Dong Zhuo was holding two beautiful girls snatched from the West Market, and was having a lot of lust in the army, when suddenly Li Ru, a cronie and think tank, hurriedly broke in and shouted: "Lord, something is wrong, there is a large army outside towards our camp, and the distance is only ten miles, and there is a sentinel who has sent back, saying that it is the Xiyuan Army in the north of our army." ”

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and after his fat black buttocks shrugged several times, he asked a little weakly: "Xiyuan Army?" How many soldiers and horses are there? Who is the main general? What is the flag? But came by order of the court? Could it be that yesterday's looting of the three cities caused the indignation of hundreds of officials? ”

On the side, there were guards showing their robes to cover Dong Zhuo's red and body, and Li Ru was not squinting at his eyes and nose, nose and heart, and bowed his hand and said: "My lord, according to the report of the sentinel detective, this Xiyuan army has 4,000 horsemen, and it is the main general of He Bai, the Taizhong doctor and the captain of the military academy in the court. As for whether he came by order of the court, Confucianism thought that it should not be. ”

"Oh?" As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that he didn't come on the orders of the court, it didn't matter, he was a former general of the court, and a state pastor, no matter what his identity was, He Bai had to get off the horse and salute when he saw himself. Dong Zhuo didn't think that He Bai came here to ask for himself.

Dong Zhuo turned around and pulled another Mei Ji to knead and pinch it vigorously, and asked casually, "Wen You, do you know what kind of person this He Bai is?" What is the reason for this trip? ”

Li Rubai said: "This son is a martial artist from the Hanmen family, joined the army in Youzhou, made many military exploits, and once served as the captain of Taiyuan. On the job, he trained on a large scale, resisted Montenegro and Baibo externally, and fought against thieves internally, and had a martial reputation and political reputation, calling himself invincible in Taiyuan. Later, he transferred Jingshi to Yilang, not wanting this son to show his erudition that was not inferior to Confucianism, and even denied the theory of heaven and man induction of Dong Zhongshu of the former Han Dynasty, which won the hearts of Emperor Ling and He Jin. At the age of twenty-four, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Sunset Pavilion, with 1,500 households, and he was awarded the post of Taizhong Doctor and Captain of the Military Academy under the West Garden, which can be described as a young talent. ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned, but laughed again: "Such a young talent? But there are few things in the world. I am very happy, such a talent, after I take control of the court, I should reuse it. Wen Youyan said that he was the Marquis of the Sunset Pavilion? Could it be that he came this time for the sergeants of our army to loot the women and children of the Sunset Pavilion yesterday? ”

Li Ru bowed deeply and said: "The lord sees it clearly. Confucianism thought that this son had come for exactly this purpose. ”

Dong Zhuo pushed away Mei Ji on his side, stood up and paced and said: "The looting of the three cities yesterday was mainly to force the Ten Standing Servants to start a war with He Jin early, and then look at the courage of the princes of the court. I don't want to be full of rats in the face, and when I hear that I am strong, no one dares to stand up and stop me. I didn't want to rob the Sunset Pavilion easily, but I led such a newborn tiger cub to not be afraid of my momentum, and sent troops to crusade against me for its feudal people. It's just that this son led the troops at this time, and it was really not the time. If I lead my troops out of the camp to fight with them, I am afraid that my plan of 'blossoming on the tree' will be ruined, and others will see through the true strength of our army. Wenyou, what can you do? ”

Li Rubai said: "My lord, this son is brave, and he can make all the troops lie in the camp and not move, and only lead 500 horsemen and the fierce generals in the army to fight, and decide the winner by heads-up." If our army is victorious, they will retreat, and the Lord will not hold them accountable for their crimes. If the White Army wins, the lord will release the plundered woman and compensate for her losses. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and praised: "This strategy is very good, it can let the world know that I, Dong Zhongying, am not only a strong bully." It's just that most of the brave and fierce generals of our army were blocked by Xu Rong, the general of Tongguan, and they were not allowed to come to Beijing, which is hateful. At this time, the fierce generals in the army don't know if there is anyone who can match them? ”

After speaking, he ordered all the generals under his command to come to the tent to gather, point out a total of 30 large and small generals in the army, and lead 500 flying bear troops out of the camp to look to the north to welcome them. The camp of the Dong army is stationed on the bank of Luoshui, and to the north is where the people of the Sunset Pavilion live. After walking for less than three miles, he bumped into He Bai's first army, which was leading the troops.

The two armies intersected, Dong Zhuowang saw the flag of the coming army summoned, the momentum was violent, the whole army was well-armored, the soldiers were fierce, and each had a good horse to ride, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. It is really worthy of the elite forbidden army built by Emperor Ling who spent a lot of money to summon the elite soldiers of the world during his lifetime. Fortunately, he did not force himself to force himself as in the past. Otherwise, the two armies will fight each other, and they are afraid that they will be defeated quickly. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but secretly write down in his heart that after he took power in the future, he must first obtain the authority of the Xiyuan Army.

Dong Zhuo was wearing heavy armor, sitting on a cross-name horse red rabbit, with a strong bow at his waist, leading twenty horsemen out of the battle, and shouted loudly: "I am a former general, and the state pastor, and Dong Zhuo, the marquis of the township, who is the commander of the army, what is the official position in the court, why dare to lead the army to invade our battalion guard?" ”

Each army garrison has a warning area, usually about ten miles. If an unknown army approaches for no reason, if it is not reported in advance, it is a hostile army, and the whole army needs to be on guard and prepare for battle.

Dong Zhuo's words suddenly suffocated the forward of the Xiyuan Army, and Sima Chen Kui of the former army couldn't help but be taken aback. This morning, the captain gave an order, saying that he was going to crusade against the Xiliang thief army who killed the people of Luoyang. After not wanting to reach the place, it turned out to be the army of the former general of the court, the governor of the state, and the army of Dong Zhuo, the marquis of the township. This...... The lieutenant did not get the order of the court, and privately sent troops to attack the army of the court's heavy generals, which is not good.

Chen Kui turned his head to look at the Chinese army, only to see He Bai wearing Xuan armor, straddle the white horse, and also led more than 20 knights from the Chinese army along the path between the soldiers and soldiers, straight to the front of the battle, pointed at Dong Zhuo with a spear and scolded:

"Dong Zhuopifu, it turns out that he also knows that he is a major general of the court? As a heavy general, you don't want to serve the country, and you want to coerce the court to seek personal interests with a strong army. He didn't think about protecting the people, but burned and looted in the market outside the city of Beijing yesterday, thinking that it was military funds. All those who did not obey were slaughtered, and countless people died at one time, and the rivers of blood flowed, and the people wailed. When I returned to the camp, I robbed hundreds of women in the Sunset Pavilion as soldiers and prostitutes, wantonly lewd and humiliated. ”

"You must know that everyone in the world has parents, wives and children, and for no reason they were brutalized by the officers and soldiers they raised, and the great compassion of this world is also. Thou hast cruelled the people so much, have you ever thought that your old mother, wife, and daughter will one day be wantonly, lewd, humiliated, and killed at will? I, He Tianming, am angry with the rebels today, but I am also a thief who is a thief who is a crusade against the remnants of the people for the people of the world. Gentlemen, if you still have good thoughts and righteousness in your heart, you can kill this thief of the remnants for me, and all the consequences of this trip will be borne by me He Tianming. ”

He Bai's words suddenly made the army under Xiyuan indignant, and he didn't want Dong Zhuo, who was a major general in the court, to do such evil things yesterday. It must be known that most of the officers and soldiers of the court at this time were from good families, but they were not the army of land hooligans and criminals in the later Song, Ming, Qing and Min periods, and they were commonplace to burn, kill and loot. At this time, the officers and soldiers still had a benevolent and righteous heart, and even if they were thieves who lived by plundering, they also had the moral concept of theft and morality in their hearts. Definitely not like Dong Jun, who only kills for his own selfish interests.

Chen Kui was immediately ashamed when he heard this, He Bai, as a school captain, ignored the former general position of Dong Zhuo, a remnant thief, because of righteous indignation, and took on heavy responsibilities. He is only a military Sima, what is he afraid of? So he came out and shouted: "I, Chen Kui, am willing to kill the thief for the captain." After speaking, he slapped the horse and danced the knife and took Dong Zhuo directly.

Dong Zhuo was also furious when he heard He Bai's words, the Han Dynasty respected the way of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, although Dong Zhuo was cruel and unkind, but he was filial to his parents and righteous to his friends, which was famous. Now when he heard that He Bai had insulted his old mother, wife and daughter, he was immediately furious and shouted: "Who is the first person with me to take this arrogant child, and the old man is willing to reward him with a hundred gold?" ”

There was also a person in the Xiliang army who rushed out of the horse, looking at He Bai with a spear, and met Chen Kui halfway, and the two generals killed in front of the battle. Chen Kui's knife is ruthless, Xiliang will have a poisonous spear, and the second general can be regarded as a chess opponent, and he will meet a good talent, and he has been fighting for dozens of rounds without seeing a victory.

Chen Kui was anxious for a while, and slashed with a knife, but the flaws were exposed, and when He Bai was screaming, Chen Kui had already been stabbed in the right arm by Na Xiliang. Unexpectedly, Chen Kui glared angrily, shouted violently, held the spear shaft tightly in his right hand, and slashed with a big knife in his left hand, slashing the frightened Xiliang General under the horse in one fell swoop. Then he did not have time to see whether his people were dead or alive, and immediately pulled out his horse and returned.

He Bai hurriedly ordered someone to step forward and bring him back, only to see that the wound on Chen Kui's right arm was pierced vertically. If it is pierced horizontally, in terms of the wide spear blade, I am afraid that half of Chen Kui's arm will not be protected. At this time, it is fine, it is only a penetrating injury, but it also needs to be recuperated for a month or two.

Chen Kui said with a pale face: "Captain, I was careless, I almost lost the battle, please forgive me." ”

He Bai cried out, "How can you say that? Although this battle is a righteous war, it is also my private war, and I am not allowed by the court. Now that you're fighting in person, what else do I have to complain about? However, as a general of the army, you have a heavy responsibility, which is not comparable to ordinary warriors in battle. If you die, who will lead these thousands of soldiers and horses, and you will never be able to go out in person again in the future. ”

Chen Kui thanked him: "The captain is willing to be indignant and beg for the people as a prince, how can I be unrighteous as a subordinate." It's just that I don't want the Xiliang Army to have such a fierce soldier, so I will exchange my life for my wounds, and I will return victorious. ”

"Xiliang is strong in the world, and there are not many warriors." He Bai replied casually.

According to history, there are more than 90 top fierce generals in Yuzhou, but it is only a million people who can produce such a one. The number of people in Liangzhou is the smallest, with only more than 400,000 people, including Ma Chao, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Dong Zhuo, Jiang Wei, Zhang Xiu and other six people, with an average of less than 100,000 people, and a top fierce general can appear. And the second-level first- and second-rate fierce generals, there are definitely not a few.

Fang Cai's general is just an ordinary fierce general of the Xiliang army, and he can fight for a long time with Chen Kui, the fierce general selected by Emperor Ling of Han from all over the country, which shows that the strength of the Xiliang army is fierce.

He Bai had just instructed Chen Kui to treat his injuries in the Chinese army and hand over the vanguard army to the commander of the fake Sima, when another Xiliang general rushed out to call the battle. He Bai saw that Dong Zhuo only led 500 horsemen to come today, thinking that he didn't want to fight with his own army, and he was afraid that the true strength of Dong Jun's strength would be exposed, so he just wanted to decide the battle by heads-up.

He Bai looked at the other officers of the lower army, Zhao Zhi, Xu Fen, Chang Gui, Kong Li and other generations of martial arts are average, Zhang Zhang is in the general's mansion with He Xian at this time, and there are no good talents among the generals who rush into battle, except for himself and Han Rong and Huang Zhong, there seems to be nothing to do.

Huang Zhong was still in hiding at this time, and he was considered his own big killer, and it was not yet time to appear. And Han Rong's martial arts are almost the same as his own, but he is older, and his muscles and bones are not as strong as his own to fight. And Dong Zhuo's well-known generals were almost not present, and it seemed that it was time for them to perform.
