Chapter 1125 War

It seems that the blessing of the so-called Immortal Heaven has really come true. The sky is exceptionally clear, cloudless and blue. The long sound of the horn echoed on the grassland, and groups of Xianbei people gathered and began to line up and organize their troops.

The great shaman Hu Yehan stood at the front of the queue, wearing a leather robe and holding a staff decorated with colorful feathers, which represented the mystery.

This time when going south, although some people still have some opinions, most people still believe in the will of Changshengtian, and indeed, the surrounding areas cannot provide grassland for so many people to live together. Only Yinshan Mountain is the place where Changshengtian can live. The god-given place pointed out by nature to be the most suitable place for survival.

In addition to the mysterious will of the Immortal God, the great shaman Hu Yehan also explained another point: Yinshan must be recovered as soon as possible. This may not be important to the Xianbei king who lived in Yanmen in Yunzhong, but for the people who lived in Mobei For the Xianbei people who live in China, it is a top priority, because Yinshan Mountain has always been their refuge in the snow disaster and cold weather in Mobei Xianbei. If Yinshan Mountain is not recovered as soon as possible, then when the Han people completely control Yinshan Mountain , when you begin to get used to the desert climate, it will be the end of Mobei Xianbei...

Yinshan is like a symbol. Whoever gains control of the Yinshan Mountains will be able to take the initiative in the integration of farming and nomadic peoples from the north to the south.

Therefore, under the promotion of the Great Shaman Hu Yehan, although there was no order from King Xianbei, many Mobei Xianbei were still gathered together to prepare to go south.

"Oh oh oh..." The great shaman Hu Yehan shook his colorful feathered scepter, muttering a mysterious language in his mouth, maybe a spell, maybe a blessing, swaying, half dancing and half walking in front of the army. And passed.

"Woo..."

As the low horn sounded again for a long time, groups of Xianbei people began to drive the livestock accompanying the army southward, towards the direction pointed by Changshengtian...

Zaruda, the commander-in-chief of the Mobei Xianbei army, is already in his fifties. The battles in his youth caused him to have many injuries. At this age, the injuries became more and more obvious, especially the joints were obviously swollen, but he Like the hardest and stubborn stone in the desert, it endures the invasion of wind and frost but never complains.

But now, in addition to the wind and frost, there is something else in the desert...

"Great Shaman! Great Commander!"

After a few days of travel, shortly after setting up camp, a Xianbei man hurried to the tents of Huyehan and Zaluda, and said with a slightly panicked look, "Someone among us is infected. !”

"What?!" Zaruda stood up suddenly.

The disease came quickly and suddenly.

I don’t know why, but in the blink of an eye, many people have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. They even have diarrhea without eating anything, and they lose weight in the blink of an eye...

"This is the punishment from the Changsheng Heaven! This is our sin for losing the land given by God!" The great shaman Hu Yehan shook his colorful scepter, stood on the slope, and looked towards the sick people underground. The dead Xianbei people pulled their necks and shouted in a hoarse voice, "The Changshengtian is watching us! Only warriors are qualified to return to the arms of the Changshengtian after death! Pick up your swords and mount your horses! Forget it! Even if you die, you must die on the land of Yinshan Mountain! Go, go! Go and complete the instructions of Changshengtian, our warriors!"

I don’t know where the strength came from. These Xianbei people, who were swaying and even vomiting, climbed on the horse, and then let out painful and hoarse shouts, I don’t know whether they looked like humans or ghosts. With a loud sound, one by one hugged the horse's neck and headed south...

…………………………

A large pot was constantly boiling under the flames. Blood foam was rolling along the edge of the pot, and some pieces of meat of different sizes were rolling up and down in the pot.

"Damn, these bastards following behind..."

I don't know when, a group of people began to wander outside the range of these Guanzhong refugees. Anyone who tried to go west was beaten and driven back, but these soldiers did not pursue them. It seemed that they were driven back. Just defend these people and prevent them from going west.

They even kept pushing forward, going in circles, driving the scattered refugees together like cattle and sheep...

"But...further east, we are almost to Chang'an..."

"That's right, Chang'an City is no better than these small counties. Although it may have more things, it is definitely guarded by soldiers..."

"If you don't go east, will those guys behind you let you go? I can tell. They mean to let us take the lead, and then they will follow behind to take advantage!"

"Yes, that's right, this bunch of bastards must be like this!"

"damned!"

A group of newly promoted libertines gathered together to murmur, gesticulate and spit. They were wrapped in clothes snatched from who knows which household, wearing colorful clothes of different sizes, and even some There are still several gold and silver longevity locks hanging on his neck that are stained with blood...

After the madness, these people slowly calmed down and began to consider their own options. After all, I have already robbed so many things, and I am no longer a person with only one chance of death.

"...How about running away?" Someone whispered, "While it's dark, go into the ravine. No matter what the hell these people want to do, I have to work hard to make them lose their ball!"

"You idiot, are you still running? Can you outrun someone with four legs?"

"Go away, you idiot! As long as I can outrun you!"

"What the hell did you say?"

"I'm just talking about you, what's wrong?"

Immediately, a group of people who had gathered together at random, all of whom were the boss's subordinates, how could they listen to someone else's ideas and obey that person's command? After just a few words, they started to quarrel with each other, and then it got to the point where... There were fist fights and fist fights, and knives were even pulled out.

During the fight, someone kicked over the iron pot, and the pieces of meat that had been cooked in the pot were poured out. In the poured reddish-brown soup, some stewed pieces of meat that had become pink and white were scattered around, and some pieces of meat were scattered around. There are a few scattered, tender, small, thin fingers...

Youzhou, Yijing.

Yuan Shao came with an army, but Gongsun Zan was somewhat defeated. After repeated defeats, he retreated here.

Taishi Ci stood on the city wall of Yijing, staring at the army appearing from the distant horizon with a solemn expression.

The Black Mountain Army was defeated miserably, and Taishi Ci no longer had any purpose in staying in Black Mountain, so he returned to Youzhou and returned to Gongsun Zan's men.

The official position remains the same, but the people are different.

The former General Gongsun, who was so righteous and so fast, has now not only gained weight obviously, but also made some jaw-dropping decisions.

In his early years, because Taishi was kind and evil to the powerful nobles in the prefectures and counties, he had to flee to Youzhou, Liaodong. Later, he joined Gongsun Zan. Because of his bravery in battle, he accumulated military merits and was promoted to a military rank.

At first, Taishi Ci looked at Gongsun Zan and thought that Gongsun Zan was a hero who led the Han people to resist the barbarians, and he was more or less a figure like Wei Qing. However, in the past two years, everything seems to have changed...

Because Gongsun Zan wanted to fight Yuan Shao, he needed to transfer grain, grass, baggage and other supplies from the rear. Therefore, a large number of laborers were recruited for transportation, which inevitably delayed the original farming production in Youzhou.

And Youzhou Mu Liu Yu paid the most attention to farming, so there began to be some gaps.

As time went by, Gongsun Zan's demand for Youzhou's civilian husbands and soldiers became stronger and stronger, which finally led to Liu Yu's strong dissatisfaction. In the end, the two people could not discuss together in the government office and broke up unhappy.

In the end, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan turned against each other. However, after all, Liu Yu did not have much experience in commanding troops. When he attacked Gongsun Zan, he did not kill Gongsun Zan in time and effectively. Instead, he gave Gongsun Zan a chance to breathe.

Gongsun Zan captured Liu Yu and accused him of conspiring with Yuan Shao to overthrow Liu Xie and proclaim himself emperor, so he forced Duan Xun to kill Liu Yu, his wife and children in Jishi...

But Gongsun Zan is a general on horseback after all, and is not very proficient in people's livelihood and political affairs. Most of the time, he only knows what money, food and supplies he wants, and then orders local officials to prepare them. If there is any disobedience, he will be dismissed from his post or whipped to death. , causing resentment throughout Youzhou.

As a result, this time Liu Yu's son Liu He united with Xian Yufu and others, plus Yuan Shao's army, and came all the way. When the news came out, Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Beiping all killed Gongsun Zan and sent them out. The people who commanded the county quickly defected to Yuan Shao...

It's nothing more than betrayal and separation, right?

Did I make the wrong choice?

Or has General Gongsun changed?

Or is the whole world like this?

Taishi Ci, who was increasingly confused, could not find the answer.

Now he had to face the battlefield before him.

"Yuan Jun is here..."

No matter what, just focus on the immediate situation and defend Yi Jing!

At least there are brothers here to fight with!

Think of it as repaying the friendship General Gongsun took in when he took him in!

Taishi Ci looked up at the sky. He could still remember the scene of Gongsun Zan sitting on a white horse, marching across Youbei, commanding them to kill the barbarians who dared to go south to plunder.

But now, General Gongsun is rarely seen. Even when Yuan Jun is approaching the city, General Gongsun is not seen coming out to boost the morale of the brothers...

Taishi Ci turned his head towards the city and was silent for a long time. Then he turned back and looked at the densely advancing Yuan army in the distance. He suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Fight! Brothers! I will fight with you until death!" "

Tongguan.

early morning.

A golden sun rises slowly, spreading its soft light across the entire earth. The large banner on the tower of Tongguan, the black flag and the huge and simple "Han" character are bathed in the golden sun, fluttering in the morning wind and making a sound. It seems to be the sound of history accumulated over the years of the Han Dynasty, solemn and Vicissitudes of life.

Under Tongguan, the same "Han" flag fluttered in the air, and the flag also made a sound in the wind. It seemed to be talking to the flag on the tower through the air, and it seemed to be whimpering and mourning. .

Yang Jun came back with his troops and attacked Tongguan again.

Tongguan is like a thorn stuck in Yang Biao's throat. Although it is not fatal, it hurts when touched and uncomfortable when thought of.

Before setting off, Yang Biao called Yang Jun, and the two of them sat together, drinking and chatting, talking about what they had been like in the school when they were young, and they talked happily. They talked about many old friends, some who died young, some who were killed in the disasters of the Party, and some who were disheartened and retired to the mountains and forests. Like them, they were still above the court, struggling to maintain the court. There are not many people left with dignity...

In the end, Yang Biao didn't say why he called Yang Jun here, and Yang Jun didn't ask Yang Biao what he wanted to talk about. The two of them drank until they were tipsy, then broke up the banquet and said goodbye.

Many words don't need to be explained clearly, Yang Jun can also understand that although Yang Biao smiles and says nothing, he is depressed in his heart.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty did not trust Yang Biao, even suspected Yang Biao, and began to criticize Yang Biao's government affairs...

But those who have been advocating and instigating beside Han Emperor Liu Xie are those guys who never do anything but talk. These people were like blood-sucking ghosts, lingering in Luoyang Palace, causing trouble around Liu Xie and Yang Biao, but they turned a blind eye to everything about the big man in front of them.

They want a salary, but they don't do their best for political affairs. They want power, but they don't do their duty for the country.

The Han Dynasty is now torn apart, and Yang Gongtan is desperate. Under such difficulties, he still persists and works hard, isn't it just to reunite the Han Dynasty and stop falling apart?

Why can't the emperor understand?

Why can't hundreds of officials support it?

Why is it that even though the emperor has returned to Luoyang, these thieves still refuse to let go of their greed, and are even going around to seize land?

Just like Tongguan in front of you.

"Why!"

Yang Jun looked up to the sky and roared angrily at the big man's banner.

After shouting, Yang Jun raised his hand expressionlessly, pointed at Tongguan, and said calmly: "Drum beat! Attack!"

The fierce and violent sound of war drums soared into the sky in an instant!

The sound of war drums, shouts, the neighing and shouting of men and mules, and the sound of weapons and armor clashing with each other suddenly resounded throughout the sky. The tense atmosphere of the coming war suddenly enveloped Tongguan.

On the top of Tongguan City, the soldiers of Zhengxi General Fei Qian, under the command of Ma Yan, were taking their positions according to different types of troops. There are no auxiliary soldiers and ordinary working men near the front line. Under the organization of the military officials, they are undertaking different logistics tasks, carrying arrows, stones, hammers and other equipment to defend the city to the city wall.

"The other side is preparing to attack the city!" A soldier at the forefront reported loudly while lying on the battlements, "The soldiers below the city have come out of camp to form formations!"

Ma Yan nodded, his thick gray eyebrows beat rhythmically a few times, and said disdainfully: "This is just a warm-up, don't be nervous, just those peasants and soldiers who can only hold hoes, even if the number is If there are too many, they are all trash! Send the order and tell the brothers to hold back, don’t get too excited, or they will lose their strength!”

"Brothers! The war has begun!"
