Great Han Empire

Chapter 702
In April, Baling, Beiwu Camp.

Situ Zhaowen and Taichang Huangfu song invited the emperor, intending to rush to Fengcheng in person to pick up Zhu Jun's coffin from Guo Si's camp and send it to Hedong.

This request was put forward by General Li Hong.At this time, the emperor and the imperial court urgently needed the assistance of the northern border army. The ministers agreed that they should agree to the general's request, so as not to offend the general because of this trivial matter, which would further deteriorate the situation in Guanzhong. However, the emperor and the chariot general Li Jue agreed objected.

The Son of Heaven is 15 years old this year. He has been caught in a cruel and bloody struggle for power since he inherited the Datong. In the past five years or so, he has witnessed the great man's helpless and resolute step-by-step extinction. I still don't understand it yet, but his mental development is far earlier than that of his peers. He knows how to use his status as the emperor to skillfully deal with various forces and how to survive.
After Li Jue and Guo Si turned against each other, the emperor sent ministers to mediate several times, but these ministers never returned and became Guo Si's hostages.The emperor dared not send any more people.If you go to one of the ministers around you, there will be one less minister, and your survival will be even more dangerous.Of course Li Jue was even more unwilling, and he regretted giving Guo Si many hostages for nothing.

Huangfusong invited his attendants Liu Ai and Shangshu Jia Xu to go with him to persuade Li Jue.

Beiwu is located [-] miles north of Baling City, and it was originally the private property of Xia Yun, the Zhongchang servant.After Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, he took it as his own and once used it as a place to store his belongings.After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue immediately occupied Beiwu.This time, after Li Jue hijacked the emperor and officials out of Beijing, he locked them in Beiwu, while he stationed troops outside Wubao.

When Huangfusong, Liu Ai, and Jia Xu rushed to Li Jue's tent of the Chinese army, Li Jue was having a banquet with his nephew Li Li, his subordinates Yang Feng, Zhang Bao, Wang Chang and others in the tent. The leaders of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army were Han Xian, Li Le and Hu Cai.

After the Baibo Yellow Turban Army was repeatedly besieged by the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army, it became more and more difficult to survive.The year before last, under the leadership of Yu Du, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army defected to General Li Hong, and the Baibo Yellow Turban Army immediately lost support and had to find another way out.After the Heishan Yellow Turban Army was appeased, Xu Rong and Yang Feng were ordered by the General to send people to appease Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai several times. Rejected by Han Siam and others.Last year, Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Yuan Shao successively invaded Chang'an. Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others felt that they were short of troops and wanted to expand their army. Recruit.

Yang Feng, Li Jue's subordinate, used to be the leader of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army.In the past, when Dong Zhuo was fighting against the Dong Lianjun, he was sent to contact the Baibo Yellow Turban Army and let them go down the mountain to contain the Northern Border Army, so Yang Feng and Han Siam have always kept in touch.At this moment, he happened to receive a letter from Han Siam asking for help, so he proposed to Li Jue to appease the Baibo Yellow Turban Army.The Baibo Yellow Turban Army still maintains a strength of about 1 people. If they can be recruited, Li Jue's strength can be greatly increased.Li Jue immediately agreed, and the Son of Heaven sent Yang Feng to Hedong to appease him.

In October last year, General Xu Rong of the Western Expedition and Wang Yi, the Governor of Hedong, successively received the emperor's decree to give way to the appeased Baibo Yellow Turban Army to the west to Chang'an and provide them with food and grass.Hedong was worried that he could not deal with the hidden danger of the Baibo Yellow Turban Army, so he was very happy after receiving the order and followed it.In December, Han Xian, Li Le and Hu Cai arrived in Chang'an with their families and an army of 1 people.

Li Jue's strength increased greatly, and his arrogance suddenly became arrogant.Soon after, he killed Fan Chou and annexed Fan Chou's army on the pretext that he had secretly communicated with Han Sui and Ma Teng.Guo Si, Wang Fang, Duan Yan, Zhang Ji and other former colleagues knew that Li Jue wanted to monopolize power, and immediately guarded against each other.In order to avoid disaster, Wang Fang simply left Chang'an with his army and stationed in Gaoling in Fengyi County.As soon as Fan Chou died and Wang Fang left, only Li Jue and Guo Si remained in power in Chang'an City, and the conflict intensified immediately.

When Li Jue and the generals saw Huangfusong coming, they came out of the big tent to invite Huangfusong to sit down.

Huangfusong's expression was stern, and he refused straight away, "Zhiran, I have something to ask you, so I will talk to you in the side tent."

No matter how arrogant Li Jue was, he was still a little scared when he saw Huangfusong.He hastily agreed and invited Huangfusong, Liu Ai and Jia Xu to the side tent.

"Here you have wine to drink, meat to eat, and female music to watch, but your majesty is starving in Wubao. Do you still have your majesty, the etiquette of being a courtier, and your conscience?" Huangfu Song was so angry that he pointed at Li Jue's nose and cursed, "I think you are not far from death."

Li Jue lowered his head, obediently, but his face was full of disdain, "My lord, when will brother Jianshou (Huangfuhong)'s army arrive?"

"Jianshou only has 5000 troops, so what can we do when we arrive? What problems can we solve?" Huangfusong said angrily, "Han Sui and Ma Teng's cavalry are almost at Huaili City, and the troops of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Duan Yan are also coming. You have crossed Lantian Valley and are about to reach Lantian City, if you don’t take the initiative to make peace with Guo Si at this time, aren’t you courting death?”

"Hmph..." Li Jue sneered, "Han Sui and Ma Teng, two idiots, sent [-] cavalry to Guanzhong. What did he eat? What did he drink? In the past few years, Guanzhong has been either earthquake or drought. It's almost the same, and there is no harvest in the fields. If it weren't for Hebei and Hedong to continuously send us money and food, Guanzhong would have collapsed at this time. Now the money and food are in my hands, and His Majesty is also in my hands. If Han Sui and Ma Teng want to live If you go back to Xiliang, you have to listen to me, or I will let him eat mud.” Then he pointed to his nose, gnashed his teeth and said, “I am looking for death? Hmph...the ones who are looking for death are Guo Bang, Han Sui, and Ma Teng. These idiots."

"Look..." Li Jue took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Huangfusong, "This is Yuan Shao's letter, he wants to honor the emperor, he wants to help me kill Guo Si, Han Suihe Ma Teng these rebels."

Huangfusong took the book and silk, without even looking at it, he threw it on the ground and said loudly: "Yuan Shao wants Guanzhong, not His Majesty, don't you know?"

"I know, that's why I let Duan Yan join Yuan Shao and let Yuan Shao lead his army into Guanzhong." Li Jue smiled darkly, "My lord, do you know why?"

The muscles on Huangfusong's face twitched, and a murderous intent shot out from his eyes.

Li Jue turned a blind eye and talked freely.

"I want to live, but someone doesn't let me live. In the past, it was Wang Yun and his gang of damned scholars. Now it is Yuan Shao and Han Suimateng. They are always thinking about Guanzhong, and they are always trying to crush me. Scatter the ashes. Well, since they won't let me live, how can I just let me go without a fight?"

"I killed Fan Chou, forced Guo Si to fight back, and then brought in Han Suimateng and Yuan Shao. I let them fight first, and when they were exhausted from fighting, both sides would be injured. The general also came. In the North Under the iron hooves of the Xinjiang army, whether Han Sui Ma Teng or Yuan Shao, how many chances of survival are there? If they are dead, I can live."

Huangfusong, Liu Ai, and Jia Xu smiled wryly and were speechless.

"Zhenran, if the general leads his army westward and defeats Yuan Shao, Han Sui and Ma Teng, will he let you continue to take power and monopolize Guanzhong? He will kill you?" Liu Ai persuaded in a low voice.

"Your Majesty is in my hands, what can the general do to me? Does he dare to kill the emperor?"

"The general doesn't dare to kill, but what about Yuan Shao? What about Han Suimateng?" Huangfusong roared angrily, "You are overthrowing the country by doing this. Now, you have to make peace with Guo Si, retreat to Chang'an, and wait for the general The general leads the army to help, or you take the emperor and evacuate toward the east of the river to ensure the safety of the emperor. Which one do you choose?"

Li Jue shook his head resolutely, "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Your Majesty and Chang'an City are both bait. Who wants Chang'an City the most? Yuan Shao, Han Sui and Ma Teng. Who wants to protect Your Majesty the most? General Li Hong The three-way army rushed to kill, and there will be a series of bloody battles under the city of Chang'an. Haha... I want to see, who will die last and who can survive?"

"Han Suimateng has arrived, and the Xiliang iron cavalry is about to kill you, don't you know?" Liu Ai persuaded impatiently, "Zhiran, Your Majesty and we both know your difficulties, but you can't put a big man down Disregarding the community, disregarding the safety of the emperor? Now Yuan Shao's army is still in the Blue Sky Valley, and the Northern Frontier Army is still on the other side of the Yellow River. The distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Zhiran, listen to Master Huangfu's words, and retreat to Chang'an City."

"I don't..." Li Jue glared at Huangfusong, waved his hands, and shouted almost crazily, "If I defend the city, the situation in Guanzhong will change immediately. If Yuan Shao, Han Sui and Ma Teng fail to capture Chang'an City, As soon as the Northern Army arrives, they will immediately retreat. As soon as the Northern Army leaves, they will come again. After repeating this, Guanzhong will not only be turned into ruins, but I will also be killed sooner or later. Only by killing them can I succeed. live peacefully."

"But the general saw that His Majesty was in danger, so he might kill you?"

"The general's goal this year is the Central Plains, Yanzhou, so he won't go all out to enter Guanzhong. If he wants to kill me, he wants to occupy Guanzhong. He did it four years ago. He also had a chance last year. Why do we have to wait until now? Why does he still pay us taxes and give us money and food? The general’s ambition is known to everyone in the world. Just like Yuan Shao, he will never be king, let alone occupy Guanzhong and summon him Endless calamity."

Liu Ai wanted to persuade him again, but Jia Xu who was standing next to him grabbed him.

"Zhiran, Han Sui and Ma Teng are going to kill Chang'an soon, do you still want Chang'an City?"

"Don't worry, he won't be able to take down Chang'an City." Li Jue waved his hand confidently and said, "The iron cavalry from Xiliang galloped all the way, how much food and supplies can they bring? Guo Si can't eat enough for himself now, how can there be food for Han Sui?" , Ma Teng? Without sufficient food and weapons, they dare to attack Chang'an?"

"This time Qiangqi is composed of seventeen tribes including Dianna, Dangjian, Lejie, and Liangduo. The leader of the army is Daqu Shuai, the leader of the Diana tribe. I know him very well and have a good relationship. I have sent People greeted him, and I gave him food, treasures, and women, and told him to listen to me and tell him to come to my Baling camp. I want to see what happens to Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Guo Si Hit Chang'an? Do you dare to hit me?"

Liu Ai and Jia Xu looked at each other and bowed their heads in silence.Li Jue is setting himself on fire.

"It's up to you, you can do whatever you want." Huangfu Song said angrily, "I want to go to Fengcheng, and I want to send Master Zhu Jun's coffin to Hedong. Master Zhu Jun's two sons, daughter and son-in-law are now They are all important subordinates of the general, Hebei official, if you don’t send Master Zhu Jun’s coffin to Hedong, think about the consequences.”

Li Jue thought for a while, "My lord, it's not suitable for you to go. It's better to let the servant servant shoot Huangfu Li go to Fengcheng camp to pick up Lord Zhu Jun's coffin, and then he will escort him to Hedong. My lord, what do you think?"

Huangfusong knew that it was not easy for Li Jue to give in, so he nodded in agreement.

In April, Fengcheng.

Ma Teng and Che Xia successively led their troops to Huaili City.The prefect of Fufeng County was an old official of Guo Bang, and he obeyed Guo Bang's military order and went out of the city to meet him.

Ma Teng asked for food and grass, but the prefect couldn't get it out, so he hurriedly reported it to Guo Si.Guo Si replied to Ma Teng that the food and grass were in Chang'an City and Baling. If he wanted to get food and grass replenished, he had to go to Chang'an, or go directly to Baling.Ma Teng was furious, you asked me to help, I came here without saying a word, but you didn't even give me food, you are playing me.

Ma Teng led his army straight to Fengcheng, rushed to Guo Bang's camp in a rage, and quarreled with Guo Bang.

Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Zhang Xi hurriedly persuaded Ma Teng to take care of the overall situation and persuade Guo Si and Li Jue to send the emperor back to Chang'an City before Yuan Shao's army arrived in Chang'an.Guo Bang became angry when he heard that, and he drew his sword and wanted to chop Yang Biao, "What do you mean? You have to make peace with Li Jue at this time, you want me to die." Yang Biao pointed to his neck and said, "You chop Yang Biao. Ah. Now that the emperor is being held hostage, we are being held as hostages, the emperor and the imperial court are in disarray, and the country is about to be overthrown, what is the point of my life? I might as well die."

Ma Teng heard that Yuan Shao's army had reached Guanzhong, and that the situation in Guanzhong was far more serious than he had imagined. He immediately called Han Sui and asked him to speed up and join him in Fengcheng.

Two days later, Han Sui arrived in Fengcheng with his bodyguard riding day and night. At this time, his army was still two hundred miles away.

When Ma Teng saw Han Sui, he first handed him an imperial edict.The Son of Heaven ordered Han Sui and Ma Teng to attack and kill Yuan Shao immediately.Han Sui glanced casually and asked, "Where is Yuan Shao's army?"

"Lantian is more than 200 miles away from Chang'an." Ma Teng said, "There is one more bad news."

"What bad news?"

"The Qiang people went to Baling to join Li Jue." Ma Teng laughed loudly, "Che Jue is too shameless. Li Jue gave him an official and gave him a few carts of money. He is like a dog. He ran away to where Li Jue was."

Han Sui smiled slightly, "Zhiran has been calling the shots in Chang'an for the past few years, and he is not as shrewd as he used to be. Last time he was sorry for me, and this time it is my turn to forgive him. Is there any news from the Northern Xinjiang Army?"

"I heard from Guo Si that the northern army has not yet crossed the river."

"Is this news accurate?" Han Sui asked suspiciously, "Has the Northern Army still crossed the river yet?"

Ma Teng approached Han Sui and said in a low voice, "This is the news that Fan Chou's old general Zhang Bao sent Guo Si, there is no mistake."

"Okay, okay, everything is in our calculations, and this time we finally got ahead of the northern army." Han Sui laughed, "Urgently tell Guo Si to rectify the army and horses immediately, and fight towards Baling overnight."

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Brother Wen Yue, Your Majesty is in Ba Ling, if..." He rubbed his hands in great concern, and said anxiously, "Let's take Chang'an first, what do you think?"

"Shoucheng, save the emperor and control the emperor and the court, which is equivalent to taking Chang'an and occupying Guanzhong. In the future, you can even pacify the world and rejuvenate the country." Han Sui patted Ma Teng on the shoulder and persuaded in a low voice, " There are our people in Baling, the emperor will not die, don't worry."

"But..." Ma Teng pointed to Fang Fang, "Yuan Shao is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, if he kills quickly..."

"Yuan Shao's goal is Chang'an, which is Guanzhong. If the emperor is killed, it will be great news for him, so he will not save the emperor, and he would like us to fight Li Jue. After he arrives in Lantian, the army will definitely attack him." Stop in order to wait and see the situation, and wait for the opportunity to kill us, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, so we will have enough time to kill Li Jue and save the emperor." Han Sui laughed, "Once the emperor is in our hands, we will immediately Killed Guo Si, and teamed up with Huangfuhong, Wang Fang, Zhang Ji and others to attack Chang'an. At this time, the Northern Army should have arrived. Once the Northern Army arrived, what chance did Yuan Shao have to capture Guanzhong? Yuan Shao was too calculating, and he did not die How can you achieve great things with your determination? This time we are sure to win."

Ma Teng was skeptical, feeling uneasy.

In mid-April, Baling.

Li Jue was stationed on the embankment of the Ma River, looking at the advancing enemy army in the distance, frowning slightly.

"Uncle, the total army of Han Sui, Ma Teng and Guo Si is less than 2, while we have more than 3. The difference in strength is so obvious, how dare they fight?" Li Li lightly kicked the horse's belly, He rode his horse into Li Jue, and asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't Han Sui wait for his army to arrive before attacking? Was he worried that Yuan Shao would attack them first?"

Li Jue shook his head.Han Sui and Ma Teng did not fight against the empty city of Chang'an, but they couldn't wait for the warlord to kill Ba Ling, which was indeed beyond their expectations.Could it be that Han Sui's goal is the emperor?Li Jue turned his head to look at the various leaders of the Qiang nationality, such as Che Xia, who was parked under the embankment, and couldn't help showing a sneer on his face.

"Wang Fang hasn't crossed the Weishui River yet?" Li Jue turned to look at Jia Xu behind him, and said indignantly, "I saved his life back then, who knew he would repay me like this today."

Jia Xu sighed softly, "Wang Fang and Zhang Ji met at Xinfeng City, and then went to Baling together. It seems that they don't want to get involved in the fight between you and Guo Si, so..."

"So they don't even care about the safety of the emperor?" Li Jue snorted a few times, very dissatisfied, then he remembered something, and asked, "After Zhang Ji left Tongguan, who will be stationed in Guanxi? His nephew Zhang Xiu ?”

"It should be. Zhang Ji likes this nephew the most and trusts him very much." Jia Xu said, "My lord, don't worry that Xu Rong from Kansai will rush in at any time. In my opinion, the reason why the Northern Border Army is still stranded on the other side of the Yellow River is because Nine times out of ten, it is because of the tense battle situation in Kansai. Yuan Shao is very determined to occupy Guanzhong this time, and he must have invested heavily in the Kansai battlefield in order to ensure that Xu Rong's army cannot rush to Guanzhong for support in time."

"Xu Rong can't come, can't Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi also come?" Li Jue said thoughtfully, "Wen He, do you think they are waiting for General Li Hong?"

Jia Xu didn't speak.If General Li Hong arrived in Hedong in person, the situation in Guanzhong would change drastically this year. By then, it would not be a question of whether Li Jue could survive, but a question of whether everyone could survive.

"Dong dong..."

The war drum suddenly rang, and in an instant the drum sounded like thunder, and the situation changed.

"Beat the drum, let's fight..." Li Jue raised his whip and shouted wildly, "Slay the rebels and protect the emperor."

=

Guo Si commanded an army of [-] infantry to attack Li Jue's army directly.

Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai each led [-] infantry to fight head-on, and the two sides fought bloody battles.

Arrows were like rain, broken limbs and arms were flying all over the sky, the sound of tragic fighting and the impact of various weapons were intertwined, and they shot straight into the sky.

The Baibo Yellow Turban Army stayed on the mountain for too long, and the result of neglecting the battle formation was fear of fighting. After a fierce battle, the Baibo Army began to retreat.

"Hurry up, tell Mr. Wenyue urgently, dispatch the iron cavalry to charge, hurry up..." Guo Bang was so excited that he kept shouting.

The horn blew, and as the flags of various colors waved repeatedly, a cavalry force of 3000 men rushed out of the battle formation, aimed at the flank of the battlefield, and roared down like a sharp long knife.

=

The flank of the Baibo army was suddenly hit hard, and they were immediately defeated and retreated again and again.

"Uncle, let me take the iron cavalry to kill." Li Li begged for a fight loudly.

Li Jue looked up at the leader of the Qiang cavalry.Qu Shuai Che Xia from the Qiang happened to turn his head to look at Li Jue at this moment, and the two met each other with cold smiles.

Li Jue raised his hand and waved.Li Li roared and flew out on his horse.

=

"Brothers, go up, go up..." Li Lilian danced the spear in his hand, raised his head and shouted wildly, "Protect, protect the emperor..."

Three thousand iron cavalry rushed down the river embankment like a stormy sea, and slammed down against the arrows of Xiliang iron cavalry.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the sound of killing was like a tide. The six thousand cavalry troops collided together in a blink of an eye, and the huge roar instantly covered up the bloody shouts on the battlefield.

Li Li's spear was like lightning, and stabbed seven people in a row. When the horse was flying into the air, the handle of the spear slammed backwards, piercing through a Xiliang knight. Ma Chao.Ma Chao was about to burst into tears, and with a loud roar, he put the gun in his left hand, and made a fist with his right hand, hitting the air hard.The corpse flew upside down suddenly.

Li Li was about to raise his spear to stab forward, when he suddenly saw a huge shadow falling from the sky out of the corner of his eyes, Li Li screamed strangely, curled up on the horse, and slammed the spear in his hand back quickly, intending to fly the corpse flying from behind.

The sound of the spear piercing into the flesh gave Li Li a hearty feeling, but then he opened his mouth and let out a stern howl. The severe pain made him throw away the spear involuntarily, and quickly embraced his chest with his hands.It was a sharp gun head, with bloody internal organs still hanging on the gun head, and the blood was spurting out from the back of the gun head like a spring.

Li Li struggled with all his strength, shaking his head and looking behind him with the last bit of strength.A young and handsome face came into his eyes, but it was full of ferocious smiles and murderous intent.Li Li trembled all over and lost consciousness instantly.

With a roar, Ma Chao picked up the corpse with his right hand, and drew out the saber behind his back with his left hand, slashing his head, "Kill..."

=

The Baibo army was still in defeat, and the morale of the three thousand cavalry was getting lower and lower because of the death of the chief general, and they were about to retreat.

Li Jue's heart ached like a twist, with a murderous look on his face, he wished he could fight in person.

"Who killed it? Who is it? Whose cavalry is that?"

"My lord, that is Ma Teng's personal guard cavalry, and Ma Teng's son Ma Chao is leading this personal guard cavalry." Che Xia patted his horse and walked to Li Jue, and said sympathetically, "Ma Teng's son has grown up, Even better than Ma Teng."

Li Jue narrowed his eyes slowly, looked at the battlefield in the distance, and smiled sullenly twice, "It's time for you to go out."

"My lord promised to give me five hundred court ladies, one thousand civilian girls, and..."

"After this battle, I'll give it to you right away." Li Jue suddenly turned his face and smiled, "As long as Qu Shuai contributes, I will definitely not treat you badly. We have been friends for more than 20 years, don't you believe it?"

Che Xia laughed, turned the horse's head, and was about to raise his whip to whip it down, when there was a sharp howling sound, and dozens of crossbow arrows were nailed all over his body in an instant.The car suddenly fell off the horse.

The leaders of a group of Qiang people under the embankment were dumbfounded, and then a sudden change occurred, more than a dozen leaders fought with each other, and in an instant, the corpses of seven leaders fell off the horse, and eight people rushed to fight with bloody sabers. Looking at Li Jue who was indifferent on the embankment, he cupped his hands and rode away like flying.

"Mr. Wen Yue always thinks that the Qiang people are his brothers." Li Jue snorted coldly, "He seems to have forgotten why he killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the first place."

=

Han Sui smiled wryly.

By the Bashui River, the Qiang cavalry who should have heard the order suddenly turned against each other, but rushed to kill Li Jue's main formation, but started to kill each other.

"Shoucheng, are we brothers?"

Ma Teng withdrew his frightened and angry eyes, and looked at Han Sui in surprise, "Brother Wen Yue, what's wrong with you? Of course we are brothers, and we will be brothers until death."

Han Sui took a deep look at Ma Teng, as if he wanted to see through Ma Teng's heart, "Shoucheng, take the cavalry and kill him, we still have a chance of winning, hurry up..."

Without hesitation, Ma Teng waved his hands and roared, "Blow the horn, blow the horn, kill, kill..."

With thunderous roars, the Xiliang cavalry roared all the way, rushing towards the chaotic battlefield like overwhelming mountains and seas.

=

"Withdraw...withdraw across the Bashui River..."

Li Jue had reached his goal, he didn't want to fight any more, relying on Bashuihe, he could block Han Sui's attack, but Han Sui's spirit was already frustrated, so he had to withdraw his troops to stop fighting.

At this moment, the sound of drums of war suddenly came from the rear, and the army that was gradually retreating fell into chaos.

"My lord, Zhang Bao has rebelled, Zhang Bao has rebelled."

Li Jue was dizzy and almost fell off the horse.

"Quickly, order the ministries to retreat along the Bashui River, retreat..." Jia Xu kept roaring, his voice hoarse.

The messy and frightening sound of the gong resounded on both sides of the Bashui River.

The rebels caught between the Xiliang iron cavalry and the river embankment dispersed in a hurry.

Surrounded by his personal guards, Li Jue fled on horseback.

=

"kill……"

Ma Chao took the lead, trampled and chased them wantonly with his iron cavalry, rushed up the pontoon bridge as fast as he could, and charged towards the Beiwu Camp on the other side of the Bashui River.

Yang Feng and Wang Chang commanded the rear army to defend the camp.

The ballista roared, the strong bows were like a forest, and the arrows poured down on the Xiliang army rushing up like rain.

Guo Si commanded the army to approach the Beiwu Camp.Zhang Bao, Yang Mi, Xia Yu, and Gao Shuo each led an army of infantry, held their shields high, and advanced step by step.

Yang Feng was flustered, seeing the Xiliang army approaching from all fronts, he immediately prepared to retreat to defend Beiwu.

=

"Defend to me, whoever dares to take a step back, I will kill him." Huangfusong suddenly appeared in the camp with a full body armor and dozens of personal guards, holding high the battle flag.

The soldiers of the various ministries who were about to retreat suddenly saw the "Huangfu" banner, and cheered thunderously, and their morale suddenly rose.

"Fight to the death to protect the Son of Heaven..." Huangfu Song raised his long sword high and galloped his horse through the camp, screaming wildly amidst the rain of arrows, his old and powerful roar was as deafening as thunderclaps, " Fight to the death..."

"Kill, kill..." Yang Feng and Wang Chang led the soldiers forward bravely and never looked back.

"Brothers, follow Lord Huangfu and kill him..."

=

The Xiliang army entered the Beiwu camp.

Han Sui stood on the embankment of the Ma River, looking at the densely packed corpses floating in the river, and smelling the disgusting blood, his heart was agitated.

The people of Xiliang fought for ten years to take down Guanzhong, and today they finally succeeded.No, just a little bit, a step away, a step away.As long as we enter Beiwu and rescue the emperor, Guanzhong will be mine, and Xiliang can completely get rid of poverty and hunger.

Han Sui looked up at the sky.In the blue sky, a few white clouds floated.

"Old Bian, I'm about to succeed. My decades-long dream is about to come true. Old Bian, bless me, bless Xiliang..."

=

The war horse neighed in pain, its huge body stood upright, and a pair of bloody front hooves violently paddled in the air.

The long arrow whistled sharply, each branch was nailed into the body, and it went straight into the feathers.

The war horse screamed loudly with the last bit of strength, then sat down on the ground and fell to the ground with a bang.

Huangfusong tightly hugged the horse that he had fought with him for ten years, and fell to the ground together, with blood spurting out from his mouth.

"grown ups……"

"Go up, save the adults, save the adults..."

The guards went crazy, they yelled desperately and swarmed up.

The soldiers went crazy, and slammed into the galloping horse with their flesh and blood.

=

Come on a horse.

"gentlemen……"

Han Sui turned his head slowly, and lightly waved his horsewhip.

"Sir, a fire broke out in Chang'an City, and the siege failed."

Han Sui trembled all over, his body swayed for a while, his complexion suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were tightly closed.

"Hurry up and put out the fire." Han Sui whispered helplessly.

"Sir, Fengyun Cavalry is right under Chang'an City, we..."

Han Sui suddenly opened his eyes, desperate and horrified.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw to Huaili City."
