Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 568
Seeing Lin Wei leave with a few soldiers, Zhang Qi said to Dong Xian: "Taiwei, this Lin Wei is so rude! How can you bear him?"

Dong Xiandao: "The Dengzhou army has always been in Shannan. Most of them have never heard of their names. We cannot underestimate them just because we have never heard of their names. Wang Jieshuai has tens of thousands of troops, divided into front, back, left, and right. There are five armies in total. Among them, the Chinese army is the strongest, with about [-] troops. That Zhang Yin is the deputy capital commander of the Chinese army, and this Lin Wei is the Zuo Yuhou of the Chinese army. Do the math, this What kind of person is it?"

Zhang Qi said: "They have many subordinates, but after all, you are a prince!"

Dong Xian sighed: "Didn't you see that? Wang Jieshuai respects Zhai Taiwei's status very much, but for me, it's a different matter. We only have [-] soldiers and horses. With Wang Jieshuai, it's just a commanding officer." That's all. Sending a Marquis of Zuo Yu here is enough to save face. Don't worry about it, let's hurry up and get out of the city, and it doesn't matter where we can go."

Zhang Qi said: "From Luoyang to the enemy camp, it is [-] miles farther than us. The Taiwei thinks they can really come?"

Dong Xiandao: "If you can't make it, it means that this army is still a normal person. We don't need to pay too much attention to it. If you make it, alas, I'm afraid there will be no such free and easy days in the future. Be careful—"

Zhang Qi listened and stood there without speaking for a long time.

Dong Xian raised his soldiers and horses, and when it was close to Si Shi, he hurried out of Shou'an County.On the road, I hurried at the fastest speed. When I arrived at Youshi, I walked for more than ten miles. When I arrived near Langgou, the sun seemed to be setting.

With a sigh of relief, Dong Xian said to Zhang Qi: "After passing the Langgou, there is no way to Xin'an ahead. Although we are in a hurry, we will live up to our mission!"

Zhang Qi said: "What the Taiwei said is true. However, the Luoyang defenders have not retreated here. Could it be that the Dengzhou army has not arrived?"

Dong Xian changed his mind.Said: "It's true! If they don't arrive, this matter will be interesting——"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the soldiers in front shouting: "Taiwei, I don't know what army is in front, they are coming here in a mess!"

Dong Xian hurried forward.I saw that under the afterglow of the setting sun, I don't know how many rebels came to me.With a shudder in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Array! No one is allowed to step on the road to Xin'an alone! Anyone who dares to retreat, beheaded!"

As the horn sounded, Dong Xian's army seized the intersection of Langgou and blocked the rebel army in the Luoshui River Valley.

The reason of the fleeing Luoyang defeated army was no longer clear, and Dong Xianzhe took the road, so he just killed them regardless.They had no organization and no command. After the initial panic, Dong Xian quickly took control of the situation.

When the sun went down, most of the fleeing rebels were captured, and some of them were zombies on the battlefield.

Dong Xian was holding the spear on the horse, panting heavily, looking at the battlefield in front of him, he still felt like a dream.Calculating the time, Zhang Yin's army happened to arrive just before the end of the day, and it took less than half an hour to crush the enemy without any delay.If he left the city a little slower, most of the rebel army might have rushed into the mountains.At that time, I went to the mountains to chase the defeated army, not knowing what would happen.

In the twilight, an army of about 500 people came slowly ahead.When he came to him, a general stepped forward and said, "Is the army of Taiwei Dong in front? Zhang Zhen is in command of the Second Regiment of Lower Dengzhou. Please speak to Taiwei Dong!"

Dong Xian put away his spear, lifted the reins, and came to the front of the array.He cupped his hands and said, "Dong Xian, I have met Zhang Tongzhi!"

Zhang Zhendao: "Our army killed and disrupted the enemy army twenty miles away. I followed it all the way. Seeing Taiwei Dong forming an array here, I wonder if we can stop the rout army?"

Dong Xian let out a long breath: "Fortunately, the mission is fulfilled!"

Zhang Zhendao: "Deputy Commander Zhang is twenty miles away. If it is convenient, the Taiwei can go to see him!"

Dong called Zhang Qi first, and said: "Zhang Yin is the deputy capital commander, and he holds a high position in the army. I should go to see him. But in five days, Wang Jieshuai wiped out all Meng Bangxiong's army, and firmly Occupy Luoyang City. This kind of force is unprecedented, so don't take it lightly. You bring a large army to camp here, and I will go to visit Zhang Yin. I hope that there will be no differences between the two sides, and we can have a happy talk!"

Zhang Qi said yes.The restraining forces camped nearby, waiting for Dong Xian to come back.

Seeing the sun go down, Dong Xian raised his horse to Zhang Zhen.Said: "The sun has set, why don't the general rest here for the night?"

Zhang Zhendao: "The Deputy Commander-in-Chief ordered me to report back immediately if Taiwei Dong stopped the scattered deserters. How dare you delay?"

They are all on horseback, and twenty miles is not far away.Dong Xian stopped talking and followed Zhang Zhen to Luoyang.The sun set on the mountain, and the sky was full of stars, and finally arrived at Zhang Yin's camp.There is a small road nearby to cross Longmen Mountain. Meng Bangxiong deployed defense here, not only to defend Dong Xian, but also to strengthen Longmen's defense.

After getting the news, Zhang Yin came out with a group of generals.

Dong Xian was the first to salute.Said: "Dong Xian, I have met the deputy capital."

Zhang Yin hurriedly said that he didn't dare.He smiled and said, "You and Zhang Zhen must have stopped the defeated army when you came together."

Dong Xiandao: "I lined up beside the Luohe road into the mountain and intercepted the rout. A total of 850 seven people were captured and 110 seven people were beheaded. The mission is fulfilled!"

"Okay, okay, the Taiwei has made great achievements!" Zhang Yin asked Dong Jin to enter the handsome account while talking.

The guests and hosts were seated separately, and Zhang Yin introduced the generals present.Staff Xu Changxing, Zuo Yuhou Lin Wei, Secretary Zheng Tianguang, Commander Zhang Zhen, Metropolitan Gao Xin, Deputy Commander Zhang Chi, and Metropolitan Chen Hai.Zhang Chi is Zhang Yin's deputy and is actually the commander.Dong Xian didn't understand, and wondered why there was still a deputy in charge.

After a few words of politeness, Zhang Yin said: "When the defenders here are wiped out, Luoyang City will completely fall into our hands. Marshal Jie ordered that the Taiwei arrange military affairs, and it is best to go to visit with Zhang Qi as soon as possible. "

Dong Xiandao: "Hasn't Marshal Jie entered Luoyang yet?"

Zhang Yindao: "Meng Bangjie brought 5000 people into the city of Yique. He didn't understand the situation outside, so he froze for a moment. Marshal Jie led the army to surround Yique, waiting for Meng Bangxiong to come over to persuade him to surrender. Where did he think of Meng Bangxiong? Pushing and resisting, I don't want to go."

"I see—" Dong Xian nodded.It turned out that Wang Xiaolie did not capture Yique, but directly attacked Luoyang, which was bold.

Zhang Yin said: "Today's big victory, it's time to celebrate. When the Taiwei comes, let's roast a sheep and let everyone drink a few bowls of wine."

After finishing speaking, he ordered his subordinates to kill a sheep and roast it.Just in Shuai Zhang, he took over the wind for Dong Xian.

After drinking for three rounds, Dong first asked about the history of the war.Hearing that Zhang Yinyi's army set off from Linru Town, they almost didn't stop, and came all the way to Luoyang, they couldn't help but click their tongues secretly.Along the way, Meng Bangxiong's army was almost defeated at the touch of a button, without the power to fight.

Dong Xiandao: "I have fought fiercely with Meng Bangxiong for several years, and the two sides are tied. Although he has more soldiers than me, his combat power is not weak."

Zhang Yin smiled, but did not speak.

Dong Xian understood that Meng Bangxiong was not weak compared to his own army, but in front of people like Zhang Yin, he was vulnerable.When I came in, I saw that the barracks of this army were well-arranged and well-disciplined, and there was no messy scene that I usually see, so I knew they were different.

After drinking for a while, Dong Xian asked: "Taiwei, I don't know how Jie Shuai plans to deal with people like me?"

Zhang Yindao: "Jie Shuai said that first of all it depends on your wishes. If you don't want to be an official in the local area, you can arrange someone to send you there. If you want to be an official in the local area, you can become a local official. Or if you want to continue to serve in the army, you can Go to the military academy to study first, and then continue to lead troops after learning.”

Dong Xian couldn't help frowning: "What about my army?"

Zhang Yindao: "According to the custom in our army, after the soldiers are selected, they will enter the new barracks for training. Those who pass the training will be recruited into the various armies."

After hearing this, Dong Xian felt displeased.In this way, isn't it annexing your own army and just arranging a small official?
