Chapter 643: Scarlet Emperor (5)
The banner covered the sky, the dust in the sky made the whole earth lose its color, and hundreds of thousands of war horses beat the earth rhythmically, making the earth shake violently. The people who were working in the fields raised their heads and looked at the cavalry galloping by, this is already the third batch of passing troops on the land of Qingzhou, Zhu You left with the Qingzhou army, the defense of Qingzhou was taken over by the private army of the Zhang family, and after a while the army of the Zhang family also went to the imperial capital, and now there is a team of cavalry passing by here. Everyone looked at these cavalry blankly, just because the horses of these cavalry were tied to their heads.
The smoke cleared, and when a cavalry member of Zuihou left the land, the peaceful scene had been completely destroyed, the crops in the land had been trampled by the cavalry, and the village not far away was full of smoke, and the ground was littered with headless corpses and the corpses of naked women. The whole village has already been slaughtered, no one knows weishenme, not even the dead people, when did the army of the empire turn into bandits and robbers?
The cavalry from the north was the cavalry under Dong Zhuo, and it was also the most effective unit under Dong Zhuo. These 200,000 cavalry were only Dong Zhuo's advance army, and his brigade was still in the rear, and the composition of these cavalry was all those alien races who were subject to the rule of the empire. Dong Zhuo sits in the north of the empire, has a large number of elite soldiers, and uses the resources of the empire to attract these foreign people with carrots and sticks in one hand, and recruits all these aliens who are on the horse as soldiers and dismounted for the people under his command, and does not pay these military salaries, but only captures a city. Half of the treasures in the city belonged to these alien soldiers. In this way, the cavalry under Dong Zhuo became synonymous with death. It has become a nightmare for the people of the empire.
Wherever the black flag passed, in addition to billowing smoke, it left behind corpses. I didn't know that Dong Zhuo Weishenme would adopt this way of fishing with all his might, and no one blamed Dong Zhuo, even the army composed of those Tianlong people under Dong Zhuo's command became more bloodthirsty under the infection of these soldiers. In their eyes, the city is just synonymous with wealth, and in their eyes, those people are all the exploits of Chiguoguo. Dong Zhuo's army brought a bloody disaster to Qingzhou, and the people in Qingzhou were in mourning, and everyone was looking forward to seeing off this brutal army. However, after the rear army of the Xiliang Army passed, they cleaned up a piece of Qingzhou's land, making the entire Qingzhou land even more wilderness.
The huge convoy was pulled by dozens of sturdy unicorns, and the huge carriage was unusually conspicuous in the entire army, with a black flag planted on the top of the carriage, and the embroidered Dong character announced the identity of this person, which was Dong Zhuo, the ruler of the entire Liangzhou army. Although there is only one state under his command, Liangzhou, it has the strongest corps in the empire today. The convoy was guarded by a dense crowd of soldiers, all of whom were armed to the teeth in black armor and black armor, with their terrifying swords in their hands, looking around coldly. Sitting down, the tumor beast looked around with a murderous aura.
The soldiers surrounding the carriage were all warriors selected by Dong Zhuo from the entire Liangzhou Army after Yuwen Chengdu defected from the Liangzhou Army. The warrior battalion formed was also his personal guard battalion, and Yuwen Chengdu's fear for him was too deep. The tumor beasts that these people sat on were all purchased by Dong Zhuo from foreign lands at a great price, and the horror of these tumor beasts lies in their sturdy bodies and the poisonous gas that surrounds their bodies all the time, and this kind of poisonous gas is a dead word as long as ordinary people come into contact with it. Dong Zhuo's cultivation of this warrior battalion cost blood, and countless amounts of money were smashed on this army, and now this army has lived up to Dong Zhuo's expectations and has become the most terrifying army in the entire Liangzhou army.
Dong Zhuo sat in a gorgeous carriage, and the carriage was full of wine and meat, and the only person who could follow Dong Zhuo was Dong Zhuo's confidant and son-in-law, Li Zhang. The magnificence in the stable carriage even exceeds that of the palace, few people know how Dong Zhuo's money came from, only Li Zhang knows, except for him who knows about this matter, all of them have been wiped out, and one of the generals who was wiped out is even Dong Zhuo's henchmen.
Dong Zhuo's body was no longer suitable for fighting on it, and even if his huge body could find a suitable war beast to carry him, it would be difficult for him to use his sword. Dong Zhuo sat in the carriage, watching the exposed singer dancing beautifully, the little white rabbit shaking up and down made Dong Zhuo even more interested, and even more up and down the singer in his arms, when he was so excited that he didn't even care that his son-in-law was by his side, he was very excited to stage a live spring palace in front of Li Zhang. Li Zhang seems to be turning a blind eye to all this, because he has seen too much and is used to it.
It was hard to imagine how the emaciated singer could bear Dong Zhuo's huge body, and the sound of glamour echoed throughout the carriage, and the heavy wheezing sound and coquettish moaning made the entire carriage respond with a special sound. Dong Zhuo bought a performance, and the singer also responded hard, and the dancing singer walked to Dong Zhuo's side. Dong Zhuo, who was on the rise, was obviously not so easily satisfied, Dong Zhuo pulled the other singers, rudely tore off their clothes, and pounced without any prelude.
The carriage was still moving forward, but the carriage began to sway violently, and the unicorn pulling the carriage felt a strong pull back, and the soldiers who drove the carriage tapped the unicorn to stabilize the speed of the carriage, everything seemed so normal, as if everyone was used to it. A herald soon came to the soldier of the carriage, and a soldier from the warrior battalion stopped the soldier, who took the information from his bosom and left. The soldier of the warrior battalion walked into the carriage and looked at Dong Zhuo, who was praising him hard, his eyes flashed with a greedy gaze, and his eyes lit up even more when he looked at the singer who was happy under Dong Zhuo's command. He knew that Dong Zhuo's singers would be rewarded to their warrior camp after they got tired of playing, although Dong Zhuo's singers were all second-hand, but their appearance was even better. Dong Zhuo naturally knows how to win over these soldiers to serve him, and the soldiers of the warrior battalion are never short of money and women, although many women are tired of Dong Zhuo.
Li Zhang took the information and read it, and immediately his brows furrowed, looking at Dong Zhuo, who was still performing hard, he finally couldn't help but didn't interrupt Dong Zhuo. He knew that Dong Zhuo hated it most when someone interrupted him at this time, although Dong Zhuo had ordered that something big could interrupt him. But no one went back to touch the brow. The people who interrupted Dong Zhuo were all dead. This is also the reason why Weishenme Dong Zhuo is now only one strategist by his side, Li Zhang, and everyone else is dead.
With a long roar, Dong Zhuo, who was struggling to praise, fell on the singer's body like a pile of mud, and a trace of pain flashed on the singer's face under him instantly, and her face turned green after being suppressed, but she couldn't make any sound, and it was difficult for her to even breathe now. Gasping for breath, Dong Zhuo finally rested, and by the time he got up, the singer under him had already disappeared. A life is whimpering. Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and the singer in the carriage immediately carried the corpse and walked away from the carriage, and the carriage was instantly quiet, and soon several maids came up and continued to serve Dong Zhuo.
"Dashuai, the information has just come from the imperial capital, and our people have missed. Li Zhang handed the information in his hand to Dong Zhuo, with a look of unwillingness on his face, he had already made sufficient arrangements in the imperial capital, but he didn't expect that the situation in the imperial capital was still beyond his imagination. What he didn't expect was that the guards stationed in the imperial capital all defected, which made Li Zhang, who had worked a lot of effort to imprison these guards generals, suddenly have a feeling of sinking into the sea. I felt like I was punched on the cotton, and I was being led away.
"I don't want to see it, just tell me what's going on, I don't have any hope for those wastes, or if they die, I will have to pay them money. Dong Zhuo threw the information on the ground and said loudly to Li Zhang, Li Zhang walked over and picked up the information on the ground and put it back on the table.
"The guards have all defected, and now Zhang Bai in the imperial capital does not have any army available except for some Jianghu people who can still control it, and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have not defected to him. The people we sent to rob the money were all killed by the guards, and the general who led the team was Pei Yuanqing, a military general under Liu Fan. "Now that Liu Fan has become the opponent of the whole world, everyone's shili has strengthened their intelligence reconnaissance of Liu Fan, and any general who appears under Liu Fan's command, they know it.
"What does this mean? How could Liu Fan's generals be in Dijing? Isn't he still in Yizhou?" Dong Zhuo obviously didn't understand Li Zhang's words, but with his IQ, it was really difficult to understand what kind of chill was hidden in Li Zhang's words. Dong Zhuo may still have a hand in leading troops to fight, but in terms of resourcefulness, Dong Zhuo will be thrown a few streets away, or even exploded.
Li Zhang sighed helplessly, he had already consciously wanted Dong Zhuo to think about something by himself, but every time the result hurt him. He had already said it so bluntly that Dong Zhuo didn t even understand it now he finally knew that Weishenme Liu Fan was able to fight stronger and stronger under such a blow, and shili was getting bigger and bigger. Not only because the quality of the generals under Liu Fan's command is far higher than others, but also because the strategists around Liu Fan are not simple characters, and Liu Fan's own wisdom and resourcefulness are definitely not to be underestimated, which can be easily seen from a series of arrangements in the imperial capital.
"Dashuai, we have received information that Liu Fan is now in the imperial capital, and the Imperial Guards, Dragoons, Jin Wuwei, Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, Heibing Tai, Dongchang and Haojie Army even have Liu Fan's people, and now Zhang Bai has no place to survive in the imperial capital. Li Zhang could only tell Liu Fan the information in detail, and told Dong Zhuo in detail from large and small aspects, and Dong Zhuo nodded straight after listening to it.
"I really didn't expect that this Liu Fan is really not simple, he can ambush so many chess pieces in the imperial capital, it seems that it is really not simple, not simple. "Dong Zhuo rarely admired Liu Fan, after all, Dijing is Zhang Rang's lair, and unknowingly all Shili has been controlled by Liu Fan, this Liu Fan is indeed not simple. What surprised Dong Zhuo the most were Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian, these two people can be said to be Zhang Rang's henchmen, and they even took refuge in Liu Fan. You must know that Dong Zhuo has relied on these two people to accomplish many things, without these two people, there would be no Dong Zhuo today, obviously their refuge makes Dong Zhuo a little unacceptable, and his henchmen have taken refuge in others, how much water are you Zhang Rang? It is really a mistake for me to take refuge in you, this is the only thought in Dong Zhuo's heart now.
Bai Qi's defection to Liu Fan made Dong Zhuo very sorry, he also fought with Bai Qi in Yanmen Pass back then, and the Guards never fought any big battles, but small battles continued. Bai Qi was once transferred to Xiliang and had the experience of fighting with Dong Zhuo, and Bai Qi's strength left a deep impression on Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo also made a lot of effort to win over Bai Qi. It turned out that he had failed. Bai Qi actually took refuge in Liu Fan. This made Dong Zhuo a little envious of Liu Fan's luck.
"Sir, this is an opportunity for us. Li Zhang keenly found an opportunity from it, Liu Fan's army is now everywhere and is not able to fight near the imperial capital in a short period of time, but Liu Fan is now alone in the imperial capital, as long as he can deal with Liu Fan, Dong Zhuo will have one less strong competitive opponent in the process of dominating the world.
"Marshal, our army has now entered the territory of Qingzhou, and the cavalry of the vanguard is about to reach the territory of Sizhou. We are only half a month away from the Imperial Palace. And where is Liu Fan's army now?" Li Zhang looked at Dong Zhuo's puzzled eyes and said with a smile: "Boss, please look, although Liu Fan's Shenwu army is distributed everywhere, Shili is not concentrated, and the strongest army is blocked in the line of Yizhou and Yuzhou, and it can't reach the border of Sizhou at all." The only people who could help Liu Fan were Yue Fei's troops in Yongzhou, Zhou Yu's troops in Jingzhou, and some troops in Yangzhou. But the troops in these places are not very strong, and they are not the opponents of our Liangzhou army at all. ”
"You mean that after we arrived in the imperial capital, we will eradicate Liu Fan and leave his army leaderless? We can benefit from it, right?" Dong Zhuo was very smart this time, and he guessed Li Zhang's mind at once, which made Li Zhang very happy, Dong Zhuo could still be saved. Just work hard to cultivate it.
"Yes, the current Shenwu Army is loyal to Liu Fan alone. And I learned that most of the generals under his command were brought by him, that is, summoned by his own Qimen Gong. Once Liu Fan dies, when Liu Fan's wife and concubine are not pregnant, who will his army choose to be loyal to?" A sneer hung on the corner of Li Zhang's mouth, Liu Fan has no heirs now, as long as he dies in the imperial capital, his army is likely to collapse under layers of blows without the object of allegiance, and at this time, Dong Zhuo, who is the strongest, can reap the benefits.
"As far as I know, doesn't Liu Fan have a daughter?"
"What did the marshal say about Liu Ailin?" Li Zhang looked at Dong Zhuo and nodded and said with a smile: "Dashuai, please rest assured, this Liu Erin is the righteous daughter adopted by Liu Fan when he was on official duty in Qingzhou, although her status in the Liu family is not low, but she does not have enough prestige to inherit the stall left by Liu Fan, not to mention that the Liu family will not allow Liu Ailin, an outsider, to accept the stall left by Liu Fan." As long as Liu Fan dies, his army will be chaotic. ”
"But will we be able to reach the Imperial Capital smoothly? On the border of Qingsi, the 600,000 men and horses of Yuwen Chengdu are still concentrated here, and the Shenwu army of Yizhou can give them enough support. Dong Zhuo looked at the information on the map worriedly and said: "And there are also small forces of the Shenwu Army active in Qingzhou, although they haven't met yet, they can't be underestimated." ”
"This commander, please rest assured, although Yuwen Chengdu's corps is on the border, the enemy he has to face is also very powerful, the millions of troops of the Eight Great Emperor Merchants are tightly blocked on this line, they will be the main opponent of Liu Fan's Shenwu army, they are not able to fight us at all. Moreover, the small army of Qingzhou has already gone south to support the Yuwen Chengdu Corps, and Yuwen Chengdu has now been reduced to a general, and the main general of this corps is Wang Qian, the second commander under Liu Fan. ”
"Wang Qian?"
"Yes, the first commander under Liu Fan is Li Jing, who has been resisting the enemy's army with a weak force, and under Li Jing is this Wang Qian, although there is no outstanding record, but this person's ability is definitely not under Li Jing. As long as we leave a small part of our army to spy on them, our army will attack the imperial capital directly. ”
"Okay, then order the army to speed up and rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and surround the imperial capital as quickly as possible. The order went down, and the one who took Liu Fan's head first was crowned the king, and the reward was 10,000 gold, and half of the wealth of the imperial capital belonged to the army that captured the imperial capital. "Dong Zhuo has made a lot of money to kill Liu Fan this time, compared to Liu Fan, these things he took out are really not worth mentioning, you must know that in the process of dominating the world, his main and most threatening opponent is Liu Fan.
Dong Zhuo's order soon spread throughout the army, and the officers and soldiers of all armies immediately turned red, they all knew the meaning behind Dong Zhuo's order, half of the wealth of the imperial capital? That's how much? That's just an astronomical amount, as the imperial capital of the empire, there are countless nobles and wealthy businessmen of all sizes, as long as you let go of your hands and feet to grab it, everyone can carry their own waist bulging, these are all money. What's more, the person who takes off Liu Fan's head first can be crowned king, although there is not much credibility, but people always have to think about it, and if they have thoughts, they will be motivated.
Imperial Capital City, the headquarters of the Black Ice Terrace, the whole anger seemed very depressed. Liu Fan sat on the top and looked at the information in his hand with red eyes, and the generals under his command were all gathered around Liu Fan, and after reading the information one by one, they shouted that they would lead the troops to defeat these armies with beast hearts.
"Dong Zhuo, this brute, I really didn't expect him to do such a thing, damn it, damn it!" Liu Fan slammed his fist on the table in front of him with red eyes. (To be continued......)
