Chapter 208 The Battle of Yongqiu ([-])

Dong Bi's eyelids kept twitching.

There is an old saying that goes well, the left eye jumps into disaster, and the right eye jumps into wealth.What he is jumping now is the left eye, which is the eye that jumps.

Dong Bi still believes in what the old people said.

So he immediately ordered Wang Shuang and Cheng Lian to shrink their formation, and at the same time sent out scouts to scout for news.

It was freezing cold, but the roads were fine.Due to the Emperor Han's tour, local officials of all sizes along the way seemed to be dedicated to their duties, and the arrangements for roads and other aspects were quite appropriate.In addition, the 5000-horse round with the Habayashi Army in Hanoi was escorted by county soldiers from various places along the way, so there was almost nothing on the way.

Zhao Guojun escorted the car to the border of the county and stopped.

According to the military law of the Han Dynasty, soldiers from various counties were not allowed to leave the local area without authorization, so they could only be escorted to this place.

But it's okay, the Habayashi Army Zuoqi has experienced battles and has rich experience.

The person in charge of Zuoqi is He Jin's confidant, Fengche Duwei Wuqiu Yi.This person is quite brave in combat, has repeatedly made military exploits, and is a general.This is another person Dong Bi has never heard of. He has a somewhat arrogant personality, and he doesn't seem to be very convinced by Dong Bi's command.After reuniting with Dong Bi, he nominally obeyed orders, but in fact, he led the Habayashi Army to clear the way ahead, and basically did not have any intersection with Dong Bi, and even after the meeting, he only met Dong Bi once. .

Dong Chuan didn't want to pay attention to such people.

The distance between the two armies is almost twenty miles. Even if there is an issue, Dong Bi will try his best to solve it by himself.

But this eyelid twitching is indeed not a good sign.

"Cheng Lian, immediately send someone to notify Sir Wu Qiuyi, asking him to slow down his marching speed and not to separate ten miles from us."

After Dong Bi ordered the arrangement, about half an hour later, a small school came to report: "Master Guanqiu said that there may be heavy snow at night, so it is best to speed up the march. The front is Yongqiu, but there Set up camp... He also said that if you are so timid, my lord, you might as well go back to Luoyang and stay there, it's the safest."

"What a thief!"

Wang Shuang was furious and couldn't help cursing.

Dong Bi waved his hand, signaling to his subordinates to stay calm.After pondering for a while, he ordered someone to find Ren Hongchang, "Hongchang, from now on, your Luanwei camp must be on guard at all times. I always feel a little bit about Wuqiu Yi marching rashly like this... In short, there is no big mistake in being careful. In addition, let me know that we will camp in Yongqiu tonight and arrive in Gaoyi tomorrow."

"Here!"

Ren Hongchang stepped in to salute immediately, and then steered the horse back to the main formation.

The little yellow gatekeeper Dong Bi's words were passed on to Emperor Han, and Emperor Han had no opinion on Dong Bi's decision.

Coming out of Luoyang, the journey was safe and sound, and there must be no serious problems.

Compared with other places, the public security situation in Jizhou is still good.Especially after the rebellion of the Black Mountain Army was put down, there were basically no traces of bandits on the land of Jizhou.In addition, for more than a month, the county soldiers from all over the country have carried out fierce attacks and encirclement against the rogues, making the journey safe and sound without any twists and turns.

Yongqiu?

Ban Zhi rode on the horse, frowning and muttering in a low voice.

Dong Yu couldn't help asking: "Military Master, what's wrong with this Yongqiu?"

Ban Zhi shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with that. Yongqiu was conferred the title of Qi State in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Qi people's worries refer to this place. This place is open on all sides, and you can station there without any danger. Moreover, it is 140 miles away from Zhao State and nine miles away from Gaoyi. Ten miles is just a breaking point. The subordinates think that staying in Yongqiu will be very dangerous if something happens."

"Oh?"

Dong Bi frowned, "What should I do between Mr. Yi?"

"It's best not to stay in Yongqiu, pass here as soon as possible. After entering Gaoyi, it should be considered safe."

Looking up at the sky, Dong Bi couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

There is no doubt that what Ban Zhi said makes sense.But the key point is that Wu Qiuyi probably won't listen to him.

"I'll go ask for the decree first, and then discuss it!"

After Dong Bi finished speaking, he urged his horse to go to the Jiulong Chariot.The emperor of the Han Dynasty went on a tour, and the guard of honor would naturally not be small.In addition to the escorts from the Beigong, there are also Jingua warriors, warriors in front of the palace, servants in the yellow gate, etc., adding up to a total of 2000 people.

Xiao Huangmen, who is on duty, is Zhang Gong, the regular servant of Zhongzhong.

Hearing that Dong Bi asked to see the emperor, he naturally didn't dare to be slight.After a while, Emperor Han summoned Dong Pi to meet him.

After listening to Dong Bi's worries, Emperor Han laughed instead.

"Dong Qing is too worried... Now that the world is at peace, and my trip is enshrined in Zen according to God's will, how dare Xiaoxiao show up?"

In the chariot, it is magnificent and extremely spacious.

There are six braziers inlaid with gold and jade, burning charcoal, making the inside of the chariot as warm as spring.

Empress He was arguing with the prince at the side, and after Emperor Han finished speaking, she couldn't help but said: "Dong Xiaoqing's family, the emperor is right. What danger can there be if you stay in Yongqiu? Ai family, look, you are learning from Na Qi State, worrying about nothing... The journey from Zhao State is hard enough. You should stay overnight in Yongqiu tonight. Besides, with Dong Qing here, even if Xiao Xiao appears, there is nothing you can do about it. Your majesty, do you feel sad? Does what you say make sense?"

"What the queen said is right."

When Emperor Han said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Besides, I have heard for a long time that Dong Qing is very brave, and his use of soldiers is even more superb. I have never seen Dong Qing and you make a move. If there is really a young man who does not know how to live and die, I can just learn Dong Qing's skills. "

Speaking of this, Dong Bi has no excuse to refuse.

I smiled helplessly in my heart, and said in my heart: I just hope that I really worry about it.

Immediately plead guilty and get out of the chariot.

He Zhang Gong said softly: "My lord, the emperor is here to entrust you. I will arrange the Luanwei camp outside. If you have anything, you can go to them directly."

Zhang Gong didn't like Dong Pi either.

But I also know in my heart that this place is no better than Luoyang, if something really happens, it will definitely be linked to the nine clans, and there will be no whole body.

So he agreed very cooperatively: "Master Dong, don't worry, our family must be careful."

It seems that everything that needs to be explained has already been explained...

But Dong Bi's eyelids still kept twitching, which made him feel panicked for no reason.

That night, Che Zhan arrived at Yongqiu.

Long ago, Captain Fengche, General Wu Qiuyi of the Habayashi Army Zuoqi Zhonglang had already chosen a sheltered place and set up camp.

After welcoming Emperor Han's chariot into the camp, Dong Pi and his men were about to enter, but they were blocked by a group of people.

"My lord, my general said that the Habayashi Army doesn't have much luggage, and it is really impossible to arrange for your troops to station there. Please also bring your people to set up camp by yourself. Your Majesty is protected by our Habayashi Army, and there will never be any danger. .”

He is already very dissatisfied with Wu Qiuyi!

After Dong Bi heard this, he suddenly became furious.

What kind of thing are you, Wu Qiuyi?I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you have to embarrass us like this?Everyone is working for the emperor, you are still playing tricks at this time... I really don't know what is going on in Wu Qiuyi's mind.

Just about to get angry, but was stopped by Ban Zhi.

"My lord, it's inappropriate to clash with the Habayashi army at this time. They have as many people as us. If they start a fight and startle the holy car, I'm afraid it will be of no benefit to you or me. Just bear with him for a while, and wait until we return to Luoyang. Take care of him again."

Dong Bi gritted his steel teeth, took a deep breath, and finally endured the breath.

"Well, tell Mr. Wu Qiuyi that we are stationed outside. Protect the emperor and let me know immediately if there is anything."

As the coach, but his subordinates can't help it, Dong Bi has never been so breathless.

Suppressing his anger, after saying a few words on the scene, Dong Bi immediately ordered people to camp on a hill not far from the Yulin Army camp.Although it is not sheltered from the wind, it has a good view.The Beigong soldiers quickly set up the camp and buried the pot to make food.

After Dong Bi inspected the camps, he arranged for the guards before returning to the big tent.

Ban Zhi said: "My lord, just now when I saw the camp of the Habayashi Army, it seemed that there was no warning. Do you think we..."

"Forget it, it's a very important matter. Since Wu Qiuyi wants to show his prestige, let's avoid it for a while and order Cheng Lian to take care of the security around the Habayashi Army. Anyway, everything is for the emperor's safety, and other things will be discussed later. .”

While talking, Wang Shuang came in from the outside cursing.

"My lord, there is no way to do this!"

"what happened?"

"It's not the grandsons of the Habayashi Army. When we passed by just now, they satirized us for a long time, saying...My lord, you are the commander, and we are a dignified Bei Gongwei. When have we ever suffered from such birdishness, we should teach them a lesson. "

Dong Bi narrowed his eyes, "How can I teach you a lesson? Ziquan, let's bear with it for a while. After we return to Luoyang, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them. Don't make trouble now. If that happens, it won't do us any good. Just bear with it. "

A personal guard brought food, and Dong Bi called everyone to have a meal together.

At this time, the night was already deep, and suddenly the wind blew up, and around midnight, heavy snow fell.

Dong Bi couldn't fall asleep in the big tent of the Chinese army, so he simply got up and took Wang Shuang and some personal guards to inspect the camps one by one.

Fortunately, after all, Bei Gongwei has undergone two years of training, even in such an environment, he still remains vigilant.

"Yongqiu was originally the territory of Qi State. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a very tragic battle with Song State here. Later, Qi State was defeated and moved to Chunyu between Qi and Lu. After Song State occupied Yongqiu, Not long after, a plague broke out, and the entire Yongqiu... people thought that there was a curse from the people of Qi, so no one lived there."

Ban Zhi introduced the history of Yongqiu to Dong Bi in a low voice. Standing at the gate of the camp, looking at the desolate wilderness, he said: "This place was originally a battleground for military strategists, but it has been abandoned since that plague. Now, this The entire Yongqiu is probably less than a thousand people. Thinking about it now, it is a pity that the great land has been desolate like this."

Dong Bi didn't speak, and said in his heart: The plague in Yongqiu was probably related to that tragic battle.

A lot of people died, and they were not cleaned up in time, so there would naturally be a plague epidemic.This was originally a very simple truth, but in this era, it seems very mysterious.Epidemics and disasters are often associated with ghosts and gods.

Looking at the sky, Dong Bi yawned: "It's getting late, everyone go to bed early, and we have to hurry tomorrow."

With that said, he turned to go back to the tent.

But after taking two steps, he stopped suddenly, turned around sharply, and looked into the dark wilderness.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything?"

The cold wind howled, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.The goose feather heavy snow made the vision extremely blurred.

Ban Zhi and the others listened attentively, but they didn't hear anything.Can't help but look at Dong Bi in unison, with doubts in his eyes.

Did you hear it wrong?

Dong Bi patted his head and was about to speak when a horse neighed suddenly from a distance, followed by a scream.

This time, everyone heard it.

Dong Bi's heart tightened suddenly, and he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. In the darkness, a horse came galloping, it was the Beigongwei detective cavalry sent by Dong Bi.

The scout had an arrow stuck in his back, and when he rushed up the hill, Tong Tong fell off his horse.

"My lord, yes, there are enemies..."

As early as when Dong Bi saw the scout, he had already ordered: "Blow the assembly horn, and get my horses and weapons ready immediately."

Taking three steps in parallel, he ran to the scout and hugged him up.

"My lord, there are enemies..."

"Enemies? Are there enemies? How many are there?"

"I can't see clearly... There are a lot of them. The whole team, I am the only one coming back... I am coming here, and I estimate the time for a stick of incense..."

Before the scout finished speaking, he died.

But the general idea has already been said, the entire scout team, more than a dozen people, only he came back to report.

The whirring horn sounded, and the Beigongwei camp immediately started to move.

In the distance, there seemed to be no movement in the camp of the Habayashi Army.When Dong Bi led the people to the gate of the camp, he saw Wu Qiuyi leading the people in a daze.

"Dong Bi, what are you fussing about in the middle of the night?"

Dong Bi urged the horse to go over, and whipped it over with a whip.The slap on Wu Qiuyi's face was ripped apart and dripping with blood.

"You bastard, is this how you protect the emperor? Enemy attacks, there are enemy attacks... Gather me immediately."

Guan Qiuyi let out a scream from being drawn, and drew out his sword with a clang.

But what Dong Bi said later made him wake up suddenly, and he was suddenly alert.

Wanting to ask again, Dong Bi had already rode his horse past him and galloped towards the position of the Chinese army.

Ren Hongchang's Luanwei camp was also in the Yulin Army's camp because it was following the chariot camp.It became a camp by itself, and the familiar sound of the assembly horn was also heard.Ren Hongchang had already put on his armor and put on his bronze mask and rushed over.

"My lord, what happened?"

"Wake up the emperor immediately and gather troops... It is not clear how many enemies there are, but you must be ready to fight at any time."

"Here!"

After Dong Bi finished explaining, he turned his horse's head and galloped away to the Yulin Army camp.

Guan Qiuyi also sensed that something was wrong, regardless of Dong Bi whipping him just now, he stepped forward to block Dong Bi's way.

"Master Dong, what should we do?"

Is this also the general of the Habayashi Army who came down from the Sili battlefield?Dong Bi frowned, and said coldly: "Pray that it's just a small group of bandits. Gather your troops immediately and get ready for battle. We can stand firm in the camp and wait for reinforcements from Gaoyi."

Dong Bi didn't care whether Na Wuqiu Yi understood or not, and led the people out of the Yulin Army camp.

At this moment, Bei Gongwei had already assembled, formed a queue one by one, and stood directly in front of the Habayashi Army's camp.

In the silent wilderness, there was a sound of horseshoes, rumbling, very prestigious.

Just listening to this voice, the opponent should have two thousand cavalry, as for the infantry...

Taking a deep breath, Dong Bi urged his horse to the front of the battle.

"Have you ever found out the situation?"

"Three thousand cavalry, eight thousand infantry. However, the origin is not clear, but according to the reports from the scouts, it seems that they are not the remnants of the rebels."

More than 1 horses, it sounds like there is still a lot of power.

Dong Bi immediately raised his big gun and shouted sharply: "Bei Gongwei, form a square formation and prepare to meet the enemy!
