Chapter 323 Fierce Battle ([-])

Chu Ping...

Oh, it's not Chuping anymore!

Chuping represents Dong Zhuo, and Li Jue and Guo Si are unwilling to continue using this reign name, as if living in Dong Zhuo's shadow.

So the 13-year-old Han Emperor Liu Xie, under the threat of Li Jue, had no choice but to change his reign name to Xingping.

Maybe the current Liu Xie will feel very regretful.

Under Dong Zhuo's control, he is a puppet.But in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, he is not even as good as a puppet.

In the first month of the first year of Xingping, the cold winter has passed, and the ice and snow have melted.

The Han Dynasty, which had just been quiet for two months, suddenly became lively again as Dong Pi came out of Nanshan and launched an attack on Hanyang.

First, Chen Bing invaded Yanmen County from Lu Bu in Beiping.

The prefect of Yanmen is Yuan Shao's nephew, Cai Yong's fellow villager, and a senior official from Yucheng.Relying on the suspicion of the Great Wall of Jizhou, defending Pingcheng to the death, no matter how much Lu Bu scolded, he just didn't fight.Although Lu Bu was brave, he had no choice but to take Pingcheng.

After Liu Yuan went to war, Sun Ce, under Zhou Yu's advice, suddenly gave up Kuaiji and sent troops to occupy Yuzhang.

The flames of war in Yangzhou ignited again. Liu Yao, under Xu Jing's suggestion, ignored Kuaiji and sent troops to attack Wujun instead.

Under the attack of Yan's uncle and nephew, Wu Jing took Sun Ce's family and fled Wu County in a hurry, but his whereabouts were unknown.

In Hanzhong, Su Gu also surrendered to Guo Si, united with the three auxiliary troops, and started a protracted war with Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu.

Of course, the most turbulent areas are still concentrated in Liangzhou.

Queyin fell, and Ma Teng suddenly felt pressure doubled.Now that he knew the origin of Zhangye's army, Ma Teng had to be careful.Just like an old saying: In front of interests, there are no absolute enemies and friends.Even if Li Jue had a feud with him for killing his son, Ma Teng had to temporarily abandon the hatred and sent Jia He to Chang'an to make peace with Li Jue.

Li Jue, Ma Teng, and Zhang Miao all knew one thing in their hearts.

If Dong Jiazi is allowed to arrive in Zhangye alive, they will die without a place to bury them.

One is a national traitor who was reprimanded for holding the emperor hostage and treason earlier, the other is a warrior who was born as a military general with a prominent background, and the other is a scholar-bureaucrat who is famous all over the world and is called the eight handsome talents by the world, forming a united front.

******
Dong Bi was wandering on the ruins of the Chilechuan Ranch, and the lion-maned beast, A Chou, shook his head from time to time and hissed in a low voice.

The buildings in the ranch have all been turned into ruins.

The green pastures are as tall as half a person, swaying happily in the spring breeze.

The walls made of stones were also knocked down.It can be vaguely seen that on the surface of the stone, there are still traces of scorched black after being burned by the fire.The hut next to my sister's grave was completely burned down with a big fire.

My sister's grave was also dug up, leaving only the tombstone with my sister's name on it.

Dong Bi's face was ashen, squinting his eyes, looking at the messy tomb, suddenly clenched his fists and let out a roar.

The sound was like a huge thunder, exploding in the sky.

The lion-maned beast raised its hooves suddenly and let out a growl, just like the roar of a wild beast.

Under the hill, there is a deathly silence...

After Dong Bi attacked Zhuyu Mountain, he immediately entered Longxi from Di Dao.

This is his home, even though his relatives are no longer here, Dong Bi still wants to come back and take another look.

but……

Regardless of Dong Zhuo's death, the Dong family is ruined!

But Dong Bi is still alive, and the Dong family's prestige in Liangzhou, especially in Longxi, still exists.

Lintao is even more so.The Dong family has been operating in Lintao for three generations, and it has been more than a hundred years.Of course, compared with those aristocratic families, the Dong family is not a famous family.But in Lintao, the Dong family is a real wealthy family.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty when the concept of locality was strong, Lintao people were more able to accept a local wealthy family.

Therefore, although Zhang Miao had occupied Longxi, he could not erase the Dong family's influence in Lintao.Especially Dong Pi, who is a hero known to local women and children.People often say: You should be like a tiger and wolf when you give birth to a child. This tiger and wolf refers to Dong Pi.

Therefore, when Dong Bi sent his troops to Lintao City, the officials Zhang Miao sent to Lintao could not resist at all.

The people of Lintao opened the city gate and invited Dong Pi's army to enter the city.In their hearts, only Dong Pi is the real master of Lintao.

But Dong Bi didn't expect that his sister's tomb would be destroyed by someone sent by Zhang Miao...

It is said that after Zhang Miao occupied Lintao, he dug up Dong Yu's grave, took out the bones, burned them, and sprinkled them on the Chilechuan pasture.Dong Bi didn't believe it at first, after all, that Zhang Miao was a celebrity after all!

Standing in front of the ruins of the tomb, Dong Bi's hands were trembling slightly.

Gan Ben led more than a dozen Wunanshan tribesmen, and stood quietly under the hill, all of them clenched their fists with expressions of seniority.

If I don't kill Zhang Miao, I swear I won't be a human being!

Dong Bi swore in his heart, jumped onto the lion's mane beast, rushed down the hill and shouted sharply: "Follow me back to Lintao for discussion."

"Here!"

Gan Ben and others got on their horses and galloped away with Dong Bi.

There is a hint of excitement in my heart: It seems that the lord wants to do something big!

Yes, Dong Bi really wanted to vent...

To be honest, Dong Bi's idea earlier was very simple, that is to disrupt the situation in Liangzhou, transfer Guo Xian from Wudu, and clear the way for grandma, fourth sister and others to the Hehuang area.In fact, he does it all the time.

But now, Dong Bi didn't want to entangle with Ma Teng and Zhang Miao anymore.

Standing in the ruins of Dong's old house, Hua Xiong Quyi hurried over.Dong Zhuo's face was already very vicious, and it looked a bit like Dong Zhuo.At this moment, he was standing quietly in the ruins, with his back turned to Hua Xiong Qu Yi and the others without saying a word.

"My lord..."

Hua Xiong couldn't help but speak.

More than half a year has passed, and there is still a strange smell in this old house.

Hua Xiong has been here before, but the last time he came to the old house, the Dong family was extremely prosperous, but now...

Feeling miserable in his heart, Hua Xiong called out 'Master', but didn't say any more.

Dong Bi turned around slowly, and Hua Xiong Quyi was shocked to find that this famous Martial Arts Marquis was full of tears at the moment.

"I just went to the ranch!"

Hua Xiong Quyi didn't dare to speak, and quietly waited for Dong Bi to speak.

"People often say that the dead are the ones who die the most... My father is a grand master. Although he did something he should not have done, but ask yourself, what did my father do wrong? The scholars refused to let go when they died. That Zhang Miao The world-renowned scholar-official actually dug up my elder sister’s tomb and turned her bones into ashes... What does my elder sister have to do with this matter?”

Dong Bi tried to speak in a very calm tone.

Holding the pumpkin in hand, tap the palm lightly.But the more so, the more terrifying and eerie his voice sounded.

That last sentence was almost squeezed out between the teeth, with a strong killing intent.

"I want to teach Zhang Miao and Ma Teng a lesson in Lintao... but I don't know if you two dare to stay and fight side by side with me?"

Hua Xiong Quyi's heart skipped a beat, his eyes widened, and he looked at Dong Bi.

"Father is dead, and my sister's tomb is gone... For most of the past year, I have been fleeing for my life, but now, I don't want to run away. Zhang Miao Ma Teng, not a son of man... I want to use him The blood of the two is a warning to the world! Of course, I also know that this is very dangerous, if the two of you do not want to stay, it is still too late to leave now."

Hua Xiong's complexion suddenly changed, showing a maroon purple color.

Kneeling in front of Dong Pi with a plop, "Why did my lord say such things? Hua Xiong received the favor of the grand master and the lord's life. Even if his body is broken into pieces in this life, it is difficult to repay. fight."

Qu Yi also knelt down, "My lord does not treat righteousness as lowly, but entrusts him with a heavy responsibility... How can Qu Yi be that kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Dong Bi's face was calm and he smiled lightly.

"In that case..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Gan Ben running over in a hurry.

"My lord, there is a military intelligence report from Ma Teng, saying that Ma Teng's general Xia Houbo led [-] armored troops from Wudu to attack Lintao."

"Oh?"

"Also, Zhang Miao sent troops from Heguan, and Ma Teng sent troops from Jixian County. Together with Guo Xian's 11 soldiers and horses, a total of [-] troops were prepared to attack Lintao from three sides."

Hua Xiong Qu Yi heard this, his cheeks twitched slightly.

With an army of 11, it seems that Ma Teng and Zhang Miao are serious this time!
Dong Bi's subordinates fought all the way, but the number of troops did not decrease much. Instead, they gathered the original Longxi Army along the way, adding thousands of people.

But even so, Dong Bi only has 6000 people under his command. If he wants to fight against an army of 11...

Hua Xiong Qu Yi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Dong Bi laughed!
I don't know why, the more dangerous and dangerous the situation, the more excited Dong Bi is.

The introversion of the previous life was completely gone in this life. After hearing the news, the details like a snake narrowed into a line.

"11? Hey, it's a big scene!"

Hua Xiong hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "My lord, why don't we retreat."

"Withdraw? Where to withdraw?"

Dong Bi laughed, "Wen Kai, now that we are facing enemies on three sides, we have no way to retreat. If we retreat into Hehuang, all the previous efforts will be useless... There are only two words to break the current plan Enemy, that is a battle to the death."

"Fight to the death?"

"Let's go back to the government office first, and then discuss in detail."

Dong Bi looked relaxed, picked up the pumpkin upside down, and walked out of the ruins of the old house.

fight to the death?Is it really possible to defeat the enemy by fighting to the death?

Dong Bi knew very well that it was impossible... However, if Zhang Ma's army could be held back, Jia Xu must have a solution.

The so-called strategy to defeat the enemy is not in Lintao, but in Zhangye.

The current plan is to give all the trust to Jia Xu, and hope that this legendary poisoner will not let him down.

******
Lintao County is already shrouded in panic.

The news that Zhang Ma's army is coming is unknown, and the whole Lintao has become panicked.

The reason is simple, Dong Biao occupied Lintao, and half of the reason was that the people of Lintao belonged to the Dong family.If Dong Bi leads his troops to withdraw from Lintao at this time, then Lintao will face terrible revenge from Zhang Ma's army, which is really scary.

Along the way, Dong Bi saw many people whispering to each other.

Frowning involuntarily, he reined in his horse and beckoned Gan Ben to come over, "Tiger, I want to ask you to do me a favor, how about it?"

Gan Ben was taken aback, "My lord, what are you talking about? If you have any orders, just say it."

"As soon as I heard the news here, Lintao became turbulent. I'm afraid that the Lintao city is not very clean. Would you like to clean it up for me?"

Gan Ben is straightforward, but not stupid.

How could he fail to understand the meaning of Dong Bi's words, rolled his eyes, and said softly: "Master, I may not be able to do this kind of thing well, but my brother Wang Mai is the grandson of Grandpa Wang Teng, he is very clever and thoughtful. , when able to do it.”

"Wang Mai?"

Dong Bi was startled, and subconsciously shifted his gaze to a young man following behind Gan Ben.

Among the dozen or so people who came out of Wunan Mountain, this young man was the smallest, about seven feet six inches, with a thin body.

A strange-looking animal that looked like a kitten crawled on its shoulder.

It was about the size of a small fox, about two feet long, but it dragged a tail that was about the same length as its body. It went around the young man's neck and landed on his chest from the other side.The head is triangular, the limbs are short and strong, there are five toes, and the claws are small, curved and sharp.The whole body is tan, but the head and cheeks are black, the throat and chest are yellow, and the tail is black.

Such a little guy is so weird.

When Dong Bi saw it at the beginning, he was also very surprised.

Gan Ben said that this little guy is called Honey Dog because he likes to eat honey.But Dong Bi knew that the scientific name of this little guy was Qing Weasel.

Despite its cute appearance, it is extremely vicious, sometimes even attacking animals several times its size.

The curved and sharp claws are naturally poisonous, although they are not fatal, they can paralyze the enemy instantly.

It was precisely because of this green weasel that Dong Bi had an impression of its owner, Wang Mai.

Logically speaking, Wang Mai's martial arts are not very good among Wunan Mountain people, but Gan Ben insisted on taking him with him.

In Gan Ben's words: He is a tiger, and Wang Mai is the fox who advises him.

It sounds like a good candidate.

Dong Bi glanced at Wang Mai, nodded slightly, and without speaking, motioned Gan Ben to pass on the words, and hurried to the government office.

The Lintao government office was actually the other courtyard of the Dong family in Lintao, and to be more precise, it belonged to Dong Min's property.

The original mansion had been destroyed long ago, and the Lintao order sent by Zhang Miao later built a new mansion, but Dong Bi was unwilling to live there.He simply turned the government office of the Lintao Order into a temporary treasury, and he lived in Dong Min's other courtyard.

On the steps of the other courtyard, a young man of 23 or [-] was standing, talking to the turbulent squires.

"Everyone, Marquis Wugong didn't say to ignore everyone's words, please don't listen to the rumors of villains... Marquis Wugong is our Lintao hero, and he will never abandon it. If you don't believe me, don't you believe in martial arts? Hou?"

"This Yan Wen is not bad!"

Dong Bi stood far away, looked at the young man on the steps, nodded in praise.

Yan Wen is a native of Lintao, two years older than Dong Bi, and once sold himself as a slave under Dong's family. Later, Dong Min saw that he was smart and childless, so he adopted Yan Wen as his adopted son and sent him to study abroad. .Of course, when Dong Min accepted Yan Wen, Dong Bi was no longer in Lintao, and he didn't know much about Yan Wen, except that Dong Min mentioned it twice.

When Zhang Miao occupied Lintao, Yan Wen happened to return to Lintao, and was requisitioned by the Lintao order as the master book.

His identity is rarely known.

When Dong Bing came to Lintao City, it was Yan Wen who encouraged the people to open the city gate and killed Lintao Ling himself.

Yan Wen's qualifications are mediocre, and he has no great abilities.

If Li Ru were to comment: "It's just a county captain's talent, useable but not very useful..."

However, Li Ru's later comment made Dong Bi pay attention.

Li Ru said: "Yan Wen is as strong as Guo Xie. He is honest and loyal, and he can be regarded as a confidant and a dead man under Dong's family."

dead man...

These two words cannot be taken lightly.

Guo Xie was a knight-errant in the former Han Dynasty, with a strong temperament and a strong sense of responsibility.

Dong Bi saw Yan Wen explaining loudly, but those Lintao gentry still refused to let go.Don't say anything else, just say that Yan Wen, as Dong Min's adoptive son, is a family with Dong Bi, and Dong Bi can't just watch him being made things difficult.

Immediately shouted sharply: "Who said I want to abandon Lintao?"

This sound is like a huge thunder exploding.

The squires at the gate of the other courtyard immediately fell silent.

Dong Bi urged the horse to go over and winked at Yan Wen. Yan Wen was startled for a moment, but immediately understood the meaning.

He turned around and walked into the other courtyard, no longer caring about the squires.

Dong Yu said: "Dong was born as a Lintao man and died as a Lintao ghost. Who are you listening to say that Dong is going to abandon Lintao? This is a lie to confuse the public. It's fine if you don't know the truth, but Making trouble here, disturbing the hearts of the people, could it be that they think my Dong family is down and out, so they dare not kill people...Where is Wang Mai! "

"The end is here!"

Wang Mai has already received Gan Ben's instructions and knows what Dong Bi wants him to do.

Therefore, when Dong Bi called his name, Wang Mai immediately understood the meaning, took a step forward, and intervened to salute Dong Bi.

"Take all these people down, what to do, you should know in your heart!"

Before he finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers rushed out from the other courtyard behind him, and surrounded all the country gentlemen with a roar.

Ignoring the cries of those people, Dong Pi sank into his dantian, and shouted sharply: "Lintao will not abandon Dong Pi, and Dong Pi will not abandon Lintao. Here Dong makes it clear that he is willing to live and die with Lintao people. If he dares to speak evil again To confuse the crowd, after arrest, shoot and kill."

Ignoring those shouts, Dong Bi strode into the other courtyard.

Sitting down in the study, Yan Wen stepped forward to salute.

"Bo Jian, don't be so cautious...hehe, speaking of it, you should be my elder brother. Since we are a family, let's be casual. Oh, report the movements of Zhang Ma's army one by one...then go find Wang Mai, he will tell you what to do."

Yan Wen has self-knowledge.

I know my own affairs well, Dong Bi is polite to him, and to put it bluntly, it is for Dong Min's sake.

But Dong Bi can be polite, he can't climb along the pole.

Immediately, he hurriedly bowed his hands and put the military report that had been sorted out on Dong Bi's desk, then turned and left.

Dong Bi frowned and read the military situation carefully.

Looking up, he saw Qu Yi and Hua Xiong still standing in front of the desk.

"Stop standing, let's sit and talk."

After finishing speaking, he threw the military information on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Miao's [-] troops rushed out from Heguan, and they are expected to arrive in Lintao in ten days; It will take seven or eight days, what do you think?"

Hua Xiong Quyi also knew that Dong Bi had made up his mind.

Since the lord is confident, he must already have a plan.The immediate thing is to stick to Lintao.

Hua Xiong is not a simple general, in the Liangzhou army, he is no match for Xu Rong in using troops, but he has also read military books and war strategies.Especially during the recovery period, he even read the thirteen chapters of Sun Wu that Dong Bi left to him by heart.

Today's Hua Xiong is very calm.

Glancing at Qu Yi, Hua Xiong said, "Actually, in this area of ​​Longxi, the Lord has quite a few soldiers and horses."

Dong Bi was taken aback, "What does Wen Kai mean by that?"

"Dafang has been working hard in Longxi for ten years, and the Longxi Army can be regarded as the direct line of the lord. If Dafang hadn't been assassinated, we would have been able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou and occupy Sanfu... After Dafang's death, the Longxi Army was torn apart. It is true that many people have been absorbed by Zhang and Ma, but as far as I know, there are still many people who are not willing to serve Zhang and Ma."

"Oh?"

When Dong Bi heard this, he suddenly became interested.

Hua Xiong said: "Speaking of which, this matter is due to Bo Jian's contribution. After the Longxi Army was annexed, many people brought their troops with them, and either occupied the mountains and became kings, or fell into the grass and became bandits. Several groups of people, there are three to 4000 people in large numbers, and hundreds of people in the few...After Bo Jian took the post of Lintao chief bookkeeper, he used his power to contact those people secretly and tried to preserve them. These dozens of people were distributed in Didao , Birds and Mouse Tongxue Mountain, Wuxiju, and even Wushan area.”

Dong Bi narrowed his eyes, "So what?"

"My lord, since you want to teach Zhang Ma a lesson, why don't you simply raise the banner and say frankly that you want to occupy Longxi? I ​​think that as long as the lord raises the banner, within ten days, there will definitely be the old troops of the Longxi Army." Come to work."

When Hua Xiong spoke, Qu Yi remained silent.

It wasn't until Hua Xiong finished speaking that he put down his military sentiments, "If it's just this, I'm afraid it won't be enough to attract the old troops of the Longxi Army."

"Oh?"

"My lord should show enough strength to convince the old troops of the Longxi Army. General Hua is right. Those people may have been loyal to my lord, but my lord is not as good as before. Only by standing up in front of everyone can I make him submit. "

Hua Xiong was not unhappy at all.

He knew Qu Yi, this guy was full of arrogance in his bones, and Hua Xiong back then, wasn't he like that?
Moreover, what Koji said was not wrong.

Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, God knows what the loyal ministers of the past will be like now?

On marching and fighting, commanding in battle...

Dong Bi thinks he is not as good as Qu Yi.This guy doesn't read much, but he has a natural keenness, and he can accurately find the flaws on the battlefield.In addition, he is proficient in military training, and the Beiwei army is in his hands, but it is very powerful.

"Qu Yi, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Let's talk about it. How do you think we should stand up?"

Qu Yi smiled, "My lord, you already have a conclusion in your mind, and Qu Yi just said it."

Dong Bi narrowed his eyes, "So, do you also think he should be dealt with?"

"That's right!" Qu Yi smiled calmly, "Since he wants to come to die, why should my lord be polite to him?"

After the two finished speaking, they couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.

Hua Xiong gradually understood, twirled his beard with his hand, and said softly: "Hehe, this person's head is the right one to sacrifice to the flag!"

------------

I don’t go anywhere today, and I write as much as I can. After the basic [-] words, Xiaoxin will try my best to make up for the missing words.How much I can make up, I don’t know, I can only say, try my best!
