- The sound of horse hooves from Beimang's central army has already appeared in the area south of Hutou City, heading straight towards the front lines of Huaiyangguan and Fulingliuya Towns. Murong Baoding's horse stalls are as far away as Chongzhong Military Town, and in Baima, Liangzhou. After the crossbowmen were transferred to Liuzhou, these Beimang scouts, who were far inferior to Crow Lanzi, wandered around freely.
The two generals who commanded the central army in Beimang were Dong Zhuo and Murong Baoding, the commander of the Juzi Prefecture who did not participate in the first Liangmang battle. For some unknown reason, Murong Baoding's troops, who were originally tasked with attacking Huaiyang Pass, temporarily besieged the two towns of Fuling and Liuya. Dong Zhuo personally led his troops to Huaiyang Pass, where the Beiliang Protectorate was located. Although it was suspected of being arrogant, Beiliang Neither the Mang Palace nor the Xijing temples had any objections. The reason was very simple. Firstly, Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law suddenly died in the Longyaner Plain in battle. No one was willing to compete with Fatty Dong at this pass. Secondly, Huaiyang Pass was the northern border. The only place outside Liangguan that is famous for its dangerous passes is the well-deserved Xiongguan Natural Passage. It can be said to be extremely easy to defend but extremely difficult to attack.
Although Murong Baoding's direct line had 20,000 infantry troops, this imperial relative obviously did not have the confidence to use 20,000 troops to capture Huaiyang Pass where no less than 30,000 Beiliang frontier troops were stationed. Once his Beimang troops were used, The elite cavalry waiting to attack the city, not to mention whether this behavior is a waste of natural resources, just saying that Murong Baoding can not feel distressed? This Dong Lei Jingqi, numbering no more than 30,000, has always been proud of the southern border with its excellent armor, excellent horses, and high combat power.
When Emperor Beimang personally presided over the affairs of Xijing and decided to let Murong Baoding's troops attack Huaiyang Pass, Juzizhou Chijie, who had the same surname as the old woman, almost got angry on the spot. Later, Hong Jingyan and Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law Yelv Chucai died in a tiger attack at the same time. In the scout battle in the north of Toucheng, the Rouran cavalry was suddenly leaderless. Murong Baoding was able to absorb a full 30,000 Rouran cavalry, and then he felt relieved. Emperor Beimang did not mean to compensate for this, otherwise Murong Baoding would have thought We have to compete with Dong Zhuo, who is known to like to eat alone, and Wang Yong, the festival leader of Aquarius State who has deep roots in Beiting. We also have to compete with so many people who are staring at Rouran Iron Cavalry, such a big fat body that fell from the sky, and their eyes have turned red. Even if Murong Baoding could get a piece of the pie, at most he would be able to hold on to four to five thousand riders. So when Murong Baoding took advantage of him, Fatty Dong actually asked to attack Huaiyang Pass. This made the entire grassland envious of the Orange State's bad luck in observing the festival. It was like sleeping with the number one oiran in the world. I felt bad about spending money on drinks, but someone stupidly came over to help me pull up my pants, and said that the bill had been settled.
Dong Zhuo, the youngest general in Beimang, and Beiliang both guarded Chu Lushan, and were known as "North Dong Nan Chu". The grievances between these two people were not only famous in Liang Mang, but also in the officialdom of the Central Plains.
If it had not been for the emergence of Dong Zhuo, a genius in military arts, perhaps the Xu family's cavalry army would have conquered the grassland Beiting with overwhelming force, making the already in danger usurping empress a prisoner of the Liyang Zhao family. Dong Zhuo's only defeat was due to Chu Lushan. Chu Lushan's eight thousand Yiluohe cavalry also shined in that interception battle. Previously, both sides had attacked for four hundred miles, and Dong Zhuo's cavalry Having completely escaped from the encirclement of the Liyang Cavalry, he was still bitten by Chu Lushan who attacked without authorization, and finally ran into him, causing heavy casualties. The two sides could not talk about victory or defeat, but Dong Zhuo was seriously injured and was knocked off his horse by Chu Lushan. .
There have been rumors in the Central Plains that Chu Lushan said something to the young Beimang general who was hastily rescued. It was this sentence that made the Beiliang cavalry criticized, "There are only two types of cavalry in the world, not your prairie cavalry and the The Central Plains Cavalry, but our Xu Family Cavalry and all other cavalry!"
Longyaner Plain, where Yelu Chucai, who was the temporary commander of Wulanzi, died in battle.
??A Beimang military general who was unusually strong but not bloated squatted down, his upper and lower teeth tapped against each other gently and habitually, and he squinted towards the south.
Next to him stood a little girl who was crying. The handsome white horse was spinning around the girl at a loss, touching the little master with its head from time to time.
"Two young women dressed in plain clothes, one standing with a sword, have beautiful faces and cold temperaments. Another woman with a graceful temperament held the ashes in her hands, picked them up, and scattered them between the heaven and the earth.
They are respectively the only daughter of the fifth raccoon dog and the fifth fox of Tibing Mountain in Beimang, and the sister of Yelu Chucai, the golden princess of Beimang.
The fifth raccoon dog died in the hands of King Xinliang, and Yelu Chucai died on the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass where the young vassal king had personally visited. They are all directly related to the young vassal king named Xu.
The little girl named Tao Manwu, although not very old, is now as tall as a willow stick, and her beauty is vaguely visible. Her father, Tao Qianzhi, retired from the frontier army in Gusai Prefecture and went to Longyao Prefecture to stay in the city as a city shepherd. , died suddenly on a Qingming Festival with yellow paper fluttering a few years ago.
Tao Qianzhi and Dong Zhuo are frontline soldiers who can change life and death. Especially when both of them were soldiers when they first joined the army, their friendship is naturally more important.??So after Tao Qianzhi's death, Tao Manwu became the heart of Dong Zhuo, who was famous for his cold-blooded iron fist in the Southern Dynasties. The fat man even told his two wives directly that even if he had a son or daughter in the future, he would never do it. He is as close to them as he is to Xiao Manwu.
Tao Manwu always liked to pick her up and prick her cheek with his beard, and to the young elder who liked to joke that he would marry her as his wife when she grew up. Although she always rolled her eyes at him at the time, she could I have always liked her from the bottom of my heart, as if I am the dearest relative in the world, so I don¡¯t have to be polite in anything I do or say.
Tao Manwu watched the aunt named Yelu scatter the ashes with his own eyes, crying until his eyes were red and swollen, and he couldn't make a sound. He had to cover his mouth with both hands, for fear that his endless crying would make his already sad uncle and aunt even more upset. .
As if he realized that the girl's cry had become quieter, the fat man wearing iron armor turned his head and saw Xiao Manwu's pitiful appearance. He gently pulled away her slender hands and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, I want to cry. Just cry, women in the world, it¡¯s hard to talk about other things, you can still cry if you want to."
This military commander, whose reputation in Beimang is not inferior to that of the military god Tuoba Bodhisattva, can look at the same level as the little girl even when he is squatting. It is difficult to imagine that this military commander has risen to the rank of King of the South Campus in just twenty years of military service. A majestic man can show such a gentle look.
After scattering an altar of ashes, the Beimang princess raised her arms high and threw the ashes into the distance, leaving the simple pottery altar made by the survivors of the Central Plains to shatter.
The fifth fox¡¯s eyelids trembled quietly.
Princess Beimang turned to look at her man and said indifferently: "Qiu, as the brother-in-law of Yelu Chucai and the first person in our Damang Dynasty to conquer the south, you will definitely deserve revenge."
The fifth fox frowned, but said nothing.
Dong Zhuo rubbed Tao Manwu's head and said solemnly: "Of course! When I married you, I promised you that as long as my brother-in-law does not become the fourth general of the Southern Dynasty, he will not die in battle. It was me, Dong Zhuo, who broke his promise first. Brothers have settled accounts, and so do husbands and wives. This revenge will start from Huaiyang Pass! I will settle the accounts with the man surnamed Xu."
She turned her head to look north at her distant hometown and said softly: "However, Dong Zhuo, as my husband, you cannot die."
Dong Zhuo grinned, put his hands on his knees, and stood up slowly, "The Beiliang cavalry are known as the best in the world, but it is really not easy for me to die."
She smiled miserably and murmured: "You have already broken your promise once, don't do it a second time. When the time comes, even if I want to find someone to scold, who can I find?"
The forces of her family in the Prairie Royal Court are intertwined. The reason why Dong Zhuo was able to disrupt the deployment of Liyang's northern expedition army was that the elite cavalry under his command was part of her dowry when she married this man. These Dong Zhuo rose to prominence in the temples of the Southern Dynasties in that year, and he worked hard until he reached the top. Her family's encouragement was indispensable. The combat power of the Dong family's infantry and cavalry armies was undoubtedly the first in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. There were nearly 150,000 private troops. How could Dong Zhuo afford it? Especially in the early days, it was still supported by her dowry. On the other hand, her younger brother Yelu Chucai, as the eldest grandson and the confirmed pillar of the future, had to join the army of his brother-in-law after leaving the Wangzhangqie Xuewei, where all young men of the two surnames Yelu and Murong had to join. He started out as a commander, but ended up serving in the army for twenty years. When he died, he was only a general whose military power was between a commander of thousands and a commander of ten thousand. He was neither better nor worse. If he had been in any Southern Dynasty frontier army, who would dare to be so ignorant of life and death? Did Di Xuezang suppress Yelu Chucai?
She hesitated for a moment and said to herself with a miserable face: "After the Battle of Hulukou, you ordered him to lead the cavalry to rescue Yang Yuanzan. I was very worried about this guy's safety, so I carried you on my back. , I successfully persuaded my father, who had the same worries, and planned to help him join one of the two royal cavalry and serve as the commander of the Yelu Heavy Cavalry Army. However, in the end, the operation of my father's side had already begun to take shape. Yelu Chucai was But the bastard refused to agree, and said that if he was forced to move him away from his brother-in-law, he would run away from home, simply take off his armor, and go wandering around the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains alone."
Dong Zhuo clenched his hands into fists, "I only know about this now."
Dong Zhuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "But if I had known earlier, and if Yelu Chucai promised you, I would definitely not have stopped you, but if he was unwilling to leave, I would not have persuaded him."
Dong Zhuo continued: "I, the son of Dong Jiajun, am the most sought-after man with hundreds of millions of dollars in the entire grassland. No one is worried about the future. As long as he wants to move, he must at least be promoted to one level. But for so many years, there have been only one big and hard battle. Later, outsiders sharpened their heads and joined our Dong family army, taking pride in being a Dong family soldier. No one has ever chosen to leave this army"
Dong Zhuo suddenly smiled and changed his words: "I said it wrong., in fact, there are, and many! Like my brother-in-law, who died in battle. "
??The son of the Dong family has a sword on his horse and a spear on his back, and he is carrying a dead horse beside him. Don¡¯t let the little mother in the family cry heartbrokenly, or let the little boy in the family become the father of the Dong family!
She suddenly walked towards him and gave him a hard blow on the chest. In the end, Dong Zhuo, who was thick-skinned and wearing iron armor, felt nothing. Her fist was instantly red and swollen.
After that, she neither cried nor fussed, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Don't die in Huaiyang Pass, don't die in Jubei City. If you really want to die, die on the coast of the South China Sea in the Central Plains, which is the farthest place from the grassland. Only then can I Out of sight out of mind."
Dong Zhuo grinned and said, "Okay!"
She turned and left, "I'm going back to Beiting right now, don't see me off."
Probably the same as the little girl Tao Manwu, this resolute woman who once said at a young age that "I wish I was not a man, otherwise I would be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses". With this statement, this resolute woman made the Empress of Beimang laugh and say three good things in a row. Princess Beimang also did not dare to cry in front of her.
When she walked far away alone, Fifth Fox said worriedly: "Why do you insist on chewing on this hard bone with no meat at Huaiyang Pass? Isn't it better to leave Murong Baoding to have a headache?"
Dong Zhuo laughed at himself: "A tough battle must be fought to the death. Someone has to fight it. If our Emperor's remaining family wealth still wants to make a difference in the Chinese version, we can no longer play childish games like the first Liangmang battle." Battle. After all, prairie grassland is not a waterweed that grows again every spring. It is cut again and again. Nowadays, the vitality of all the grasslands has been damaged. If Beiting continues to make further progress, I am afraid there will be internal strife. Such a big mess, the gods There is nothing we can do to fix it. It will be me, Dong Zhuo, who will suffer the consequences at that time. I will let the Beiliang frontier army reap the benefits in vain and make immortal contributions."
Dong Zhuo looked to the south and saw the Hutou City that was destroyed after he personally conquered it. Further south, there was the Huaiyang Pass, which is located in a dangerous and favorable location. It is ridiculous to say that a million-strong army on the grassland had been fighting Beiliang for twenty years. During the war, when Old Man Tu was alive, the Southern Dynasty's frontier troops could only see Hutou City a handful of times. It was not until Tu Xu Xiao died that he, Dong Zhuo, finally gained power, and Beimang's horse hooves stepped on those farther south. On the ground, but it has only advanced a little. But now, the 10,000 Qingqi of Beiliang Yuluan Saber Division, following the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry in the early years, once again penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasties, treating the fortresses of the large and small military towns in Gusai Prefecture as if they were nothing.
Dong Zhuo pointed to the south and said to the young daughter-in-law: "In the Duhu Mansion at Huaiyang Pass, there is a fat man who is fatter than me. It is said that the Liyang court has always claimed that the scene between me and Fatty Chu At the end of the battle, this man Tu Yizi made such a treasonous and heroic statement, saying that the cavalry in the world was divided into only the Xu family cavalry and all other cavalry. In fact, the truth was not like this, but the Beiliang frontier army was so conceited that they readily accepted it. Li Yang's civil servants' insults were regarded as compliments."
Dong Zhuo did not retract his arm, but pointed south, with a gloomy smile, and said slowly: "Chu Lushan did say some words at that time. I remember that guy was sitting on horseback, pointing the tip of his iron spear at me, and laughed and said, 'I heard that Your boy's name is Dong Zhuo? My adoptive father did not dare to attack with all his strength due to some worries, so Chen Zhibao and Yuan Zuozong were too lazy to play with you. I, Chu Lushan, was really bored with nothing to do, so I came over to fight with you, otherwise With your little ability and the meager troops you have on hand'"
Dong Zhuo was speechless for a long time.
The fifth fox asked curiously: "What's next?"
Dong Zhuo took back his hand and said angrily: "Then I fainted after being seriously injured."
Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and made a face at the little girl Tao Manwu.
The little girl, whose face was full of tears, squeezed Dong Zhuo's wrist tightly. She was not amused, but became more and more ready to cry.
The little girl raised her head and choked with sobs: "Uncle Dong, don't die!"
In the mind of this child with a rough life experience, he is like the kind of broom star rumored in the market, who always kills the people closest to him, from his father Tao Qianzhi to Yelu Chucai, who is next?
So she was scared.
Dong Zhuo knelt down, stretched out his big calloused hand that was used to touching people with knives and killing people, and helped the little girl wipe away her tears, "Little Manwu, don't cry. Bad guys like Uncle Dong have the longest life span, Lord Hell." Not even willing to accept it.¡±
As soon as she heard this sentence, the little girl shed more tears.
Because in her mind, besides her father, Uncle Dong has always been the second-best good person in the world.
And the guy she once regarded as the best guy has now been quietly demoted to second place.
Dong Zhuo didn't know how to persuade her, so he let her ride on his shoulders. After standing up, they looked south together. Dong Zhuo said softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Dong will take you to see him for the last time."
Tao Manwu put his little head on Dong Zhuo¡¯s big head.
Dong Zhuo asked softly: "Xiao Manwu, why are you humming that ballad? Uncle Dong can't remember the words. Your uncle used to sing it in front of me, and it was so unpleasant to sing to him. Xiao Manwu, How about you teach him one last time?"
The little girl sighed heavily, but she had too many tears and cried too much, so she did not speak immediately.
Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry. He remembered a passage for no reason. The murderous general of Beimang put his hands together, lowered his head and recited piously and silently: "If you take refuge in the Buddha, you will not suffer all the sufferings of reincarnation. If you take refuge in the Dharma, you will enjoy the ten directions." Blessings for the third life. Take refuge in the Sangha and never fall into the evil paths of rebirth"
At the same time, Tao Manwu's childish voice also sounded softly above Dong Zhuo's head.
The grass will grow next year, and the wild geese will come back again. The spring breeze is blowing this year, will the young master return? The bluestones are covered with green grass, and the man in green clothes on the bluestone bridge is humming Jinling tune.
Whose daughter lowers her head and smiles?
The yellow leaves are falling this year, one year after another. The autumn wind will start next year. Is your wife here? There are yellow flowers in the Yellow River, and yellow flowers in the Yellow River city flutter with yellow butterflies.
Whose sword is in its sheath?
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The sword is still in its sheath.
The young master has not returned.
This is true for many living people on both sides of Liangmang.
"It's just that in the eyes of the Central Plains, the three vassal kings joined forces to rebel. Their war seemed to come for no reason. It was just those Beiliang barbarians and Beimang barbarians. The dead people there died as a matter of course and as a matter of course.
On the yellow sandy land of Longyan'er Plain, the fat man who was still carrying Xiao Manwu put down his clasped hands and said solemnly: "Chu Lushan, since you want to die, then I will accept your three hundred kilograms of meat." Got it!"
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Huaiyang Pass, which controls the main route to the south, is divided into inner and outer cities. They are built along the mountains. The overall terrain increases toward the south. In particular, the inner city is built on the cliff. The city walls are made of stone walls. Back then, Beiliang worked hard to build the first gate outside the Northwest Pass. Most of the stones used in Hutou City, Yixiong City, were taken from Canglang Mountain in Lingzhou. Afterwards, it was discovered that there were still 34 out of 10 huge stones left, so they all moved south in one go to Huaiyang Pass, which was far from the current scale at that time. After more than ten years, They have continuously reinforced and accumulated a large amount of equipment, food and grass. As long as the outer city is not lost, there will be no worries about water sources. In addition to losing its strategic significance to Hutou City, Huaiyang Pass was actually more difficult to break than the first city in Liyang Border Pass before Jubei City was built.
So when Chu Lushan insisted on locating the Protectorate at Huaiyang Pass, far away from Liangzhou City, Xu Fengnian didn't have much objection.
But after the fragmented Hutou City lost its defensive significance, both Xu Fengnian and Qingliangshan asked Chu Lushan to retreat to Jubei City, but Chu Lushan still insisted on defending the front line of Huaiyang Pass.
It is hard to imagine that Tu Yizi, a man who conquered Shu with more than a thousand cavalry, and a warrior who led eight thousand Yiluohe cavalry, has always had a low official status and no complaints after taking root in Beiliang, and he has been living a life of luxury and wealth. He lives a desolate life, claiming to like good wine, beautiful women, fancy clothes, big horses, famous invitations, beautiful flowers and leisurely travels.
After becoming the Protector of Northern Liang, he suddenly changed again and became motionless outside the barren and desolate pass.
¡°Probably after the death of the old man Tu Xuxiao, no one in the world can really see through this evil fat man.
On the tower of the inner city of Huaiyang Pass, a fat man as bloated as a hill rested his hands on the arrow stack and remained silent.
There are enemies all over the world, but there is no confidant.
He rubbed his neck and said with a smile, "What a great head." - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
