Great Han Empire

Chapter 605 The Heroes of Troubled Times Like the Abyss
In the middle of the first month, in Hedong and Hebei City, Hushi General's Camp.

It was snowing heavily and the wind was howling.

The atmosphere in the big tent was dignified, except for the occasional crackling sound of the charcoal burning in the brazier, there was no sound.

Li Hong looked at the map on the desk and lowered his head in thought.Xu Rong, Qu Yi, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Yu Shi, Zhu Mu and others were circulating to see the eldest princess' edict.

The Jinyang court has just been established. If the eldest princess wants to win the support of all states and counties, she must first reverse the current severe situation, let the states and counties see the hope of revitalizing the country, and see the strong strength of the eldest princess, so that all states and counties can Only by loyally supporting the eldest princess and the imperial court can we unite as one and unite as one.Defeating Dong Zhuo and capturing Luoyang is the only way to reverse the current grim situation.Fighting Luoyang takes time, troops, and money. Therefore, whether the eldest princess can get the support of Jizhou has become the key to reversing the current situation. However, this key is now a problem.

No one thought that after just over a month, the Jinyang court was facing the impasse of collapse.In order to control the new imperial court, Han Fu and Yuan Shao united states and counties in various places, and when the Luoyang War was about to start, they demanded to rebuild the imperial line.This kind of blatant coercion and threat is really shameless.

"What is there to discuss?" Qu Yi said angrily, "If the court cannot meet the demands of Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others, the strategy of attacking from three sides and winning from the middle will definitely not be implemented. Without the continuous supply of money and food in Jizhou, Without the flanking attack of the three-way army, we can't defeat Dong Zhuo by our own strength in northern Xinjiang. This battle can no longer be fought, so we should immediately change our strategy and take Jizhou instead. First, stabilize the states and counties north of the Yellow River, and then Then King Tuqin seeks Dong and rejuvenates the community."

Li Hong looked at the map as if he had never heard of it.

As soon as Qu Yi opened his mouth, the generals in the northern border and the subordinates in the mansion immediately argued with each other, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly changed from the dullness just now, and suddenly became hot.

===

Zhu Mu said that in the past, under the pressure of the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army in various places, the first emperor changed the governors of some big states to prefects who combined military and political power.As a result, the officials of the states and counties in various places were able to hold heavy troops, which directly caused the evil result of the self-respect of the states and counties today.In the past year, states and counties in various states and counties have not only used troops recklessly, but also withheld taxes for two years in order to fight against the Dong and put down the rebellion.The real purpose of Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others to rebuild the imperial line is to control the imperial court and keep the huge benefits they have already obtained.

Now it seems that counting on them will not save the country.The general gave up all the military administration in northern Xinjiang without hesitation, the Taifu gave up the military administration in Youzhou, but Han Fu clung to the power in his hands, which shows his greed for power and wealth.He is unwilling to give up even the military and government of a state. Can we still count on him to provide money and food to the army and help the court to ask for the king?

As I said, this court is a court with four different images, and it is difficult to have a deterrent effect on the states and counties. Sooner or later, something will happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.Even if something goes wrong, we can see the true colors of people like Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and the court can also quickly adjust some major strategies to avoid suffering from it in the future.

However, Zhu Mu, Ding Li, and Yang Hua all opposed the attack on Jizhou.If we also disobey the imperial court's will and wantonly use troops to attack Jizhou, then what is the difference between us and Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others?Do the eldest princess and the court still want to honor her?Attacking Jizhou is tantamount to breaking with other states and counties.After the two sides fought, the Central Plains continued to fight, and the people were dying. Who will come to the king to beg for Dong?Who will save the country?
Zhu Mu and others suggested that on the basis of maintaining the status of the eldest princess and the imperial court, they should make appropriate concessions, and even agree to Han Fu and Yuan Shao to move the eldest princess and the imperial court to Jizhou, but there is only one condition for northern Xinjiang, that is, to take back northern Xinjiang Hand over all power.Since Han Fu, Yuan Shao and others are not willing to give up power, why should we give up power in Northern Xinjiang?

This kind of concession did not cause any loss to northern Xinjiang. We not only maintained the status of the eldest princess and the court, but also met the requirements of Jizhou and other states and counties, and at the same time received appropriate assistance from them.Of course, in the absence of complete relief from various crises in northern Xinjiang, we will only attack Luoyang to alleviate our own difficulties, and will no longer be driven by the eldest princess and the court to attack Chang'an and the king of Qin to seek Dong.In the future, when northern Xinjiang becomes stronger, we will plan a strategy to rejuvenate the country.

===

The two generals Zhang Yan and Yang Feng did not agree to attack Jizhou, but they also did not agree with Zhu Mu and others to continue to attack Luoyang.

The practice of supporting Liu Yu as emperor by various states and counties, although on the surface, there is an attempt to destroy Liu Yu and seize power to control the court, but their real purpose is obviously to weaken and support the power of the general.Once Northern Xinjiang makes concessions and Han Fu and Yuan Shao control the imperial court, they will use the opportunity of the three-way army to attack Luoyang to lure us to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, and Northern Xinjiang is bound to suffer heavy losses.

Now that the faces of Han Fu and Yuan Shao have been exposed, they are shameless, so are Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and Kong Ni also shameless?Just look at Sun Jian.Back then, Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, prefect of Nanyang, on the pretext of begging Dong Beishang. Such people are lawless and cannot be trusted at all.For the sake of the Patriarch's position, Yuan Shu broke openly with Yuan Shao. He and Yuan Shao are the same.With these guys fighting Luoyang with us, how can we ensure that they will do their best?If the Luoyang War turns into a decisive battle between us and Dong Zhuo, then we will lose a lot.Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu got Luoyang without any effort. Because of our lack of strength, we are very likely to be driven back to northern Xinjiang by them.

The first reason we wanted to attack Luoyang was for the food in Jing and Henan, and to alleviate the crisis in northern Xinjiang. However, since we have now handed over all the victims of the disaster in northern Xinjiang and the four garrison counties in Jizhou to Han Fu, Northern Xinjiang The food crisis has been greatly alleviated, and the financial gap in northern Xinjiang can also be temporarily supplemented with the saved funds for farming, so we don't need to be able to fight Luoyang in the short term.

The 10,000+ army dominates the northern border, posing a huge threat to Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and everyone else.As long as we maintain this powerful threat, we will have what we want, and who dare not give it?

===

Everyone in the big tent was arguing fiercely, only Li Hong and Xu Rong remained silent.

Li Hong looked down at the map.Xu Rong sat next to the brazier and focused on watching the dancing flames, adding some black charcoal to the brazier leisurely from time to time.

Qu Yi gave Ding Li a few words, feeling a little uneasy, he kicked Xu Rong angrily, "Zi Lie, tell me, should you go to fight Jizhou?"

Hearing this, Li Hong immediately raised his head to look at Xu Rong.Xu Rong smiled slightly, "Of course Jizhou will fight, but not now."

Judging from the current situation, neither the Son of Heaven, nor the Chang'an court, nor the Jinyang court can command the states and counties in various places. The reason is what Gong Ding (Zhu Mu) said. Willing to hand over power to the emperor and court who have no strength.So are we.Whoever surrenders the power in his hands may be annexed by other forces.Although we have the heart to save Sheji, how can we save Sheji when we lose our lives?As Feiyan and Qizhi (Yang Feng) said, we need to strengthen ourselves.Only when we are strong can the country be saved.

The most powerful Han today is Dong Zhuo, followed by the Great General, and then Yuan Shao and some state and county officials who followed him, including Han Fu, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.Others, such as Lord Taifu of Youzhou and Lord Liu Yan of Yizhou, although they were loyal to the emperor and the court, were powerless because they lived in remote places.Several major forces wanted to stabilize the country, but due to various reasons, no one succeeded.

Over the past year, we have made many efforts to stabilize the country, but in the end they all failed.If the general joins hands with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu this time, he will definitely be able to defeat Dong Zhuo, and the country will be stable within a few years, but we have all seen the results. To face up to the reality, the general must make a rescue strategy for the great Han society as soon as possible.

The premise of this rescue strategy is that you must be strong, strong enough to deter other forces, enough to defeat other forces, so that we can talk about Qin Wang Xingguo, otherwise it is all nonsense, it is purely a disaster for the country and the people.

For example, playing Jizhou.Winning Jizhou is indeed of great help to northern Xinjiang and saving the country, but now there are several disadvantages to fighting Jizhou.One is that the general was charged with the crime of holding the eldest princess and the imperial court hostage, and of attacking prefectures and counties without authorization to bring disaster to the country.The reputation of the general is damaged, which is very detrimental to the future Qin Wang Xingguo.Second, people like Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Dai must do their best to protect Jizhou for their own survival. We must face the counterattack of tens of thousands or even 10,000+ troops.In addition, if the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to go down the mountain, and if the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army took the opportunity to go north, the three armies fought repeatedly, and Jizhou would immediately be in ruins.We want a complete Jizhou, not a ruin.Third, the war in Jizhou has caused disasters for refugees. Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou must be the first choice for refugees to avoid disasters, but we cannot solve the problem of refugees now.Fourth, if Dong Zhuo takes the opportunity to send troops to Hedong, we will fight on two battlefields at the same time.At that time, the army will not be able to take care of both the head and the tail, and there will be a serious shortage of food, grass and supplies.Even if we barely remain undefeated, the collapse of Northern Xinjiang is an unavoidable fact.

These are four difficult problems that cannot be solved. The general cannot solve them, and neither can we.In other words, if we fight Jizhou now, not only will we not be able to strengthen Northern Xinjiang, but we will quickly ruin Northern Xinjiang.

What we need now is a strategy to quickly strengthen northern Xinjiang, so Yuntian (Qu Yi)'s strategy of attacking Jizhou is not advisable, and Feiyan's strategy of closing the door and defending itself is not advisable. Only Gongding (Zhu Mu) and Han Fu attack Luoyang The policy is desirable.

===

After Xu Rong finished speaking, the big tent was very quiet.The generals pondered for a long time, then turned to look at Li Hong.The final decision rests with the General.

"We will not fight Jizhou." Li Hong said firmly, "As for the reason, Zilie, Gongding, Jingming (Ding Li), and Wenzhi (Yang Hua) have all said it just now, and I will add one more thing, that is, Han The conflict between Fu and Yuan Shao, as well as the attack direction of the Yellow Turban Army after the spring of this year."

Of the nine counties in Jizhou, Han Fu actually controls two counties now. If we give up the four counties including Zhongshan, Han Fu actually controls six counties, while Yuan Shao controls the three richest counties in Jizhou. He also holds half of the taxes in Jizhou.In addition, Han Fu is the shepherd of Jizhou, while Yuan Shao is only the prefect of Bohai County, and Han Fu is Yuan Shao's superior, but in the Dongdong League, Yuan Shao is the general of chariots and Han Fu's superior.Herein lies the contradiction between the two of them.

If we make a concession and elect Han Fu to act as prime minister, and send the eldest princess and the court to Jizhou, Han Fu's power will increase greatly, and Yuan Shao will face a difficult choice at this time.Is he to be a subordinate official with peace of mind, and hand over the county, state and taxes that he actually controls to Han Fu?Or push Han Fu down, control Jizhou and the court by himself, and monopolize power?The answer is obvious.

If Yuan Shao wants to overthrow Han Fu and monopolize power, he must get my support, otherwise I can use this as an excuse to attack Jizhou.My solution is to support Han Fu overtly and Yuan Shao secretly, and let them fight among themselves, so that I can benefit from the fisherman, and Beijiang can get what he wants.

Their internal strife is internal strife, we still want Jizhou.Just now, Zilie and Gongding have said that these people are self-reliant and have gradually formed a separate regime. It is estimated that it will be very difficult to expect them to bow their heads and become ministers.Master Tai Tu has become their victim, and I don't want myself to be their next victim.I have thought about it, if we want to quickly stabilize and revitalize the country, we have to kill them, so as not to harm others and ourselves in the future, and bring disaster to the country and the people.

The opportunity to win Jizhou was the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Jizhou this year.The prefectures and Hanoi counties in the south of the Yellow River have nothing to eat. If the Yellow Turban Army wants to survive, they only need to enter Jizhou.For food in Jizhou and for survival, the two sides must fight to the death. When they are almost finished fighting, we will use the pretext of suppressing the rebellion to wipe them all out.

"Let's fight Luoyang." Li Hong said with a smile, "I won't talk about the benefits of fighting Luoyang. You all know it well, whether it is for the revitalization of the country, the reputation of our northern border, or the survival and strength of the northern border. , There are all benefits and no harm, but considering that we will fight Jizhou next year, so this year's battle, we can't fight hard, we can't lose too much, we must win Luoyang at the lowest cost."

"After the Yellow Turbans invaded Jizhou this year, regardless of whether Han Fu and Yuan Shao can defeat them, Jizhou will not be able to harvest food and wealth. In this way, when they attack Jizhou next year, the food and salaries of the tens of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang will become a big problem .If the army's food and salary are completely dependent on entering Jizhou, it is obviously unrealistic to forcibly raise money from the counties and counties of Jizhou. We must try our best to raise part of it this year. This is one of the reasons why the army cannot let go and storm Luoyang."

===

Xu Rong and other generals in northern Xinjiang agreed with Li Hong's decision. After they discussed some details, Li Hong immediately wrote to the eldest princess.

In his memorial, Li Hong detailed the reasons why he could not return to Jinyang immediately, and then made some suggestions for solving the imperial crisis.

Li Hong believes that Taifu Liu Yu is loyal to the emperor and the great man, and this time he suffered a purely innocent disaster, and he should be pardoned for all his crimes.Now when the country is in crisis, it is really inappropriate to kill ministers and destroy the foundation of oneself.In order to appease the prefectures of Youzhou, it is still better for Master Taifu to also lead the shepherd of Youzhou, and leave Jinyang, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.

In order to ensure the authority of the eldest princess and the court, Li Hong suggested that Han Fu, Yuan Shao and other state and county officials be exempted from the crimes, and a little questioning is enough.These drastic actions by the ministers are obviously for the safety of the great Han society, so the eldest princess and the imperial court are still based on the idea of ​​calming things down and seeking common ground while reserving differences, and on the basis of firmly respecting the current emperor, they negotiate with the state and county officials as soon as possible to satisfy their wishes. other conditions.

After Master Taifu leaves Jinyang, who will be in charge?Li Hong recommended Jizhou Mu Han Fu.The battle of Luoyang is about to begin. Whether the battle can be won or not will directly affect King Qin's plan to challenge Dong and rejuvenate the country. Therefore, I beg the eldest princess and the court ministers to abandon personal grievances and prejudices, and immediately invite Master Han to Jinyang to take charge. Preside over state affairs.

Considering that Lord Taifu is no longer in charge of the government, and the ministers of the court are not familiar with the affairs of northern Xinjiang, the eldest princess has to concentrate on dealing with the imperial crisis recently. With success, Li Hong implored the eldest princess and the court to temporarily hand over all the military affairs in northern Xinjiang to General Zhao Qi, the general of Hutian Zhonglang, with full authority.If the eldest princess and the court think this discussion is inappropriate, the minister suggests that Mr. Zhao Qi temporarily act as the deputy of the Taifu Mansion, act as prime minister, preside over state affairs, and hold power.

After Li Hong wrote the memorial, let the generals go over it one by one to see if there is anything that needs to be modified or added.

Qu Yi sneered and said: "This report itself has no deterrent effect. If the general wants to ensure the safety of Mr. Taifu and Mr. Zhao Qi's temporary power, it is best to send an army back. I will personally lead the Black Panther Yi Cong returns to Jinyang, what do you think of the General?"

Li Hong thought for a while, and said to Qu Yi: "Don't go, your temper is unacceptable to ordinary people, let Ling Ming (Pang De) go."

===

Letters from Zhao Qi and Li Wei were sent to the Hushi General's camp at the same time.

Li Hong was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly dispatched [-] Li Kuaiqi to the Ural Mountains, ordering Wei Jun to stick to the pasture and not to act rashly.Then send Kuaiqi to Youzhou urgently, and ask Gongsun Zan not to send troops for the time being, and he will ensure that Master Taifu will be sent back to Youzhou intact.

"My lord is so impatient that he wants to send [-] cavalry to threaten Jizhou. Why doesn't he think about how much shock it will have on the counties outside the Great Wall and the desert by urgently recruiting [-] cavalry to go south at this time?" Li Hong told Xu Rong With a wry smile, "Gongsun Zan has arrived in Jizhou, and the [-] cavalry from Northern Xinjiang have also arrived in Jizhou. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army will definitely turn around and go south instead of going north to Jizhou at the risk of annihilation. The boss almost ruined my big event."

"The old man's heart is concerned about the safety of northern Xinjiang, which is understandable." Xu Rong pondered, "Look, should we tell him the overall strategy, so that the old man will not be worried and worried every day."

"No." Li Hong shook his hand and said, "Recently, the situation has been developing faster and faster, and the changes have become more and more complicated. Our strategy will change at any time. Telling him will only make the boss more anxious. This overall strategy, except ours A few people, just tell Li Wei and Yu Peng in Jinyang, let them do their best to help the boss deal with state affairs."

Li Hong immediately sighed: "At this time, I can only let this 83-year-old man come out to save the crisis. Let him handle Jinyang's affairs. For the time being, he has to work hard for him. We will support him in whatever he wants to do." He. In today's world, except for this old man, everyone is likely to betray the big man, who else can we trust now?"

Xu Rong patted Li Hong's back lightly, feeling dejected and speechless.

In the middle of the first month, in Ha Duong City, Hanoi County, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, camped.

Years ago, Wang Kuang, Liu Xun, and Zhang Yang were ordered by Yuan Shao to gather their respective armies in Heyang and prepare to attack Luoyang.

In the past few days, there has been heavy snowfall, the temperature has dropped sharply, and the Yellow River has been frozen three feet, and people and horses walking on it are like flat ground.In order to keep out the cold, the soldiers hid in the military tents to keep warm. The whole camp was covered under the pure white snow, and there was no one left.

In the middle of the night, Wang Kuang was suddenly pulled out of the bed by a pair of icy hands. He shivered involuntarily, and opened his eyes suddenly. He saw a terrified pale face with a few scars on his cheeks. wisps of blood.

"Yuan Si..." Wang Kuang blurted out in surprise, "What happened?"

"Let's go, let's go, Dong Zhuo is attacking the camp, Dong Zhuo is attacking the camp, let's go..." Han Hao couldn't help but pull Wang Kuang up.Several attendants rushed forward, carrying the quilts and running away.

=

The snowy night is as bright as day, and snowflakes are flying all over the sky.

The war drums were like thunder, and the sound of killing shook the whole field. The soldiers in Hanoi rushed forward, and the shrill screams were earth-shattering.

"Yuan Si, what's going on? Isn't Dong Zhuo's army in Yingchuan? Why did they get to Hanoi?" Wang Kuang's expression was pale, and he shouted loudly while looking at the fleeing soldiers in panic.

"My lord, it is indeed Dong Zhuo. I saw his banner and Xiliang cavalry." Han Hao said angrily. Sneak attack on the camp. Xiaguan led his army to garrison the river embankment, and was caught off guard. Three thousand troops were massacred by Xiliang iron cavalry. Xiaguan desperately broke through the siege to report the news, but it was still a step too late."

"Zhang Yang?" Wang Kuang asked in surprise, "Isn't Zhang Yang's army stationed on the left wing of the camp? Who arranged for his men to station at Mengjin Pass?"

"My lord, it's you, it's you..." Han Hao shouted angrily, "Someone told my lord that I received letters from Dong Zhuo every day, saying that my uncle was with Dong Zhuo, so my lord suspected that I had colluded with Dong Zhuo and ordered me to Withdrew from the pass and replaced Zhang Yang's army. 3000 people, [-] brothers, they were all killed in battle, they were all killed by the Xiliang cavalry, they died so badly that they were powerless to fight back."

"No, I didn't..." Wang Kuang shouted in shock and fear, "I ordered Zitai (Liu Xun) to send people to guard, how could he become a publicity person?"

Han Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, he gritted his teeth in anger, "Liu Xun, bastard. Last time he was defeated by Yu Du in Shanyang, and he suffered heavy losses. This time, in order to preserve his strength, he must pass your order falsely. Ask Zhang Yang to send someone to guard the gate. Zhang Yang is an honest man, he has no scheming, and is enthusiastic, how could he have thought that Liu Xun was doing something wrong."

Wang Kuang's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, "Liu Xun, I'm going to kill you."

===

The iron cavalry is like a torrent, rushing down like a river bursting its embankment, unstoppable.The iron cavalry officers raised their weapons high and roared loudly, invincible.

Lu Bu swung his halberd, wantonly devouring the fresh lives one after another, heads flying among the snowflakes, steaming blood turned into beautiful blood drops and fell in the air.

Suddenly, a familiar roar came from a distance, "End the battle, form the formation... Brothers, fight to the death, fight to the death..."

Lu Bu's heart trembled, he pinched the horse's belly fiercely, raised his halberd and shouted wildly: "Go, go, kill with me..." A group of Bingzhou's personal guards echoed in unison, and the horse followed closely, flying away.

=

Zhang Yang pierced through the enemy soldier with a single shot, followed up and chopped off his head with a knife, blood splattered everywhere.A few enemy soldiers shouted fiercely, and Zhang Yang was stabbed three times, and then kicked away. An enemy soldier rose into the air, and stabbed Zhang Yang's throat with a bloody spear.Zhang Yang was about to burst into tears, raised his knife to meet him, opened his mouth and howled wildly, "Go to hell..."

A long halberd passed through the air, and the piercing whistling sound, accompanied by flying snowflakes, instantly penetrated the body in the air.The enemy soldier screamed miserably, and his vigorous body slammed into Zhang Yang with the huge impact of the halberd.

"Puchi..." The sword pierced through, and at the same time, the spear in the enemy's hand whizzed past Zhang Yang's neck, nailing it into the snow with a stream of blood.Zhang Yang was knocked into the air again, and the moment he fell into the snow, he saw a familiar figure and heard a familiar roar, "Brother, hold on, I'll save you..."

Zhang Yang trembled all over, tears instantly blurred his eyes, and a mouthful of blood spewed into the air.

Lu Bu galloped wildly on his horse, swung his saber up and down, and chopped seven people up and down, "Surround them, surround them, kill them, leave no one behind..."

The soldiers from Xiliang suddenly realized that it was Bingzhou iron cavalry who were chasing and killing them. They couldn't help being shocked and angry, cursing loudly, and fighting back bravely with all their weapons.A team leader roared angrily: "Blow the horn, blow the horn, and the people of the state are rebelling..."

Lu Bu didn't wait for the bugle soldier to raise the horn, the saber had already been thrown out of his hand, nailing the bugle soldier to the horse's back.

A soldier from Xiliang rode forward with a spear raised on his horse.Unable to dodge in time, Lu Bu grabbed the spear and fell off his horse.The Xiliang soldier was dragged off his horse by him, and before he could stand up, his head was kicked off by the flying Lu Bu.

Several Xiliang soldiers rushed towards Zhang Yang who was lying motionless on the ground.

Lu Bu let out a roar and ran wildly, "Ziyun...Ziyun..."

A soldier from Xiliang turned back and chopped off with a single knife, Lu Bu did not evade, his figure was like flying.Before the saber was chopped off, Lu Bu's huge body had already knocked the Xiliang soldier into the air.More Xiliang soldiers rushed forward.With a roar, Lu Bu punched one person to death, followed by punching and kicking, killing four people in a row. He grabbed the arm and threw the last person into the air, "Ziyun, hide quickly..."

Zhang Yang slowly woke up from the coma, Lu Bu's hoarse cry went straight to his ears, Zhang Yang didn't even think about it, he jumped up instinctively, stumbled forward, rolled and crawled.

Two rows of sharp crossbow arrows nailed into the snow where Zhang Yang had just been lying down.

Lu Bu roared excitedly and ran even faster.A long halberd was stuck upside down on the ground, Lu Bu pulled it up with one hand, and then the long halberd stood there, the whole person soared into the air, took a few steps in the air, and jumped onto a swiftly galloping unowned war horse.The man is on the horse, the halberd is in the hand, and no one can block its sharpness.Lu Bu killed several people in a row, and galloped his horse to catch up with Zhang Yang who was lying on the snow and dying.

"Brother Fengxian, I can't do it anymore, you kill me and give me a good time." Zhang Yang grabbed Lu Bu's big hand and begged in pain.

"Brother, as long as I live, you can't die..." Lu Bu put Zhang Yang on his back and got on his horse, "Go, go east, go east..."

A group of personal guards surrounded them and flew away.

===

In the early morning, the heavy snow gradually stopped and the cold wind became stronger.

Dong Zhuo stopped his horse and panted heavily.

Li Jue came here on horseback, "My lord, we have won a complete victory in this battle. The [-] troops of Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and Liu Xun were all killed by us. Should we continue to pursue the remnants in the direction of Wen County, or return to Mengjin?"

"Back, back to Luoyang immediately." Dong Zhuo brushed off the white frost on his beard, and asked pantingly, "Can you catch that traitor Zhang Yang?"

"No." Li Jue replied, "The impact speed of the iron cavalry was too fast, and the infantry of the rear army could not keep up in time. A large number of enemy troops took advantage of the chaos and fled. None of Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Liu Xun, and Han Hao were caught. .”

Dong Zhuo snorted dissatisfied.

Soon, Dong Yue, Li Su, Lu Bu, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others gathered one after another.

Dong Zhuo looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Yuan Shao has been severely injured and his strength has been greatly reduced. The threat from Hanoi is basically gone. If there is no accident, there should be no big battle in Luoyang." Then he pointed to Lu Bu and Zhang Ji Said, "You go south immediately. In this raid, we used almost all the troops around Luoyang. If Sun Jian and Yan Liang saw the flaws and took the opportunity to defeat Hu Zhen and push the troops to Dagu Pass, we would be in trouble. I don't want to They're hitting it off right now."

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, bowed and said, "My lord, we rushed five hundred miles from Yangzhai and Luyang to Luoyang, and then attacked the enemy army in Heyang overnight. The soldiers are exhausted and need to rest urgently. I beg your lord..."

"No." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Turn back quickly. Sun Jian is a mighty general, and Yan Liang is a mighty general among the mighty generals. Yan Liang killed Liu Jing and then Li Meng. We can't let him kill Hu Zhen again. You immediately When we return to Luyang and Yangdi, we must keep Sun Jian and Yan Liang out of Henan Yin."

"You also return to Tongguan immediately." Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Yue and Li Su, and smiled amiably, "When you arrive at Tongguan, take a good rest. You are indeed too tired recently."
