Let's look back and see why Dong Zhuo appears in Hedong now?

After successfully suppressing the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Qiang people rebelled again. The imperial court ordered Zuo Chaqi General Huangfu Song to lead the army, and Dong Zhuo appointed Zhonglang as his deputy. In July, Huangfu Song was dismissed due to unfavorable results in the battle. In August, the imperial court appointed Sikong.

Zhang Wen was the general of chariots and cavalry, taking over the affairs of the Third Auxiliary Military Region, and Jin Wu Yuan Pang was his deputy. Dong Zhuo was the general of breaking the bandits, and Zhou Shen was the general of destroying the bandits.

One night in November, a meteor streaked across the sky, and the light shone into the rebel camp. The donkeys and horses neighed. The rebels thought this was an ominous sign and prepared to retreat. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he learned of the situation. The next day, Dong Zhuo and

Right Fufeng and Bao Hong attacked together and defeated the rebels, beheading thousands of people.

The rebels were defeated and returned to Yuzhong County, Jincheng County, Liangzhou. Zhang Wen sent 30,000 men to pursue them. Dong Zhuo asked Zhang Wen to lead troops to support Zhou Shen, but Zhang Wen refused and asked Dong Zhuo to lead 30,000 men to attack the Xianling Qiang.

Dong Zhuo sent another commander, Liu Jing, with 4,000 troops to garrison troops in Anding County, and then marched. Dong Zhuo's army was surrounded by Qiang and Huns in the north of Wangyuan County. The army was short of food and the situation was critical. Dong Zhuo asked his soldiers to pretend to block the water and build embankments in the Weishui River.

, it was claimed to be fishing, but in fact it allowed the army to quickly pass under the embankment. By the time the rebels discovered it, they were already in pursuit.

Initially, Zhang Wen sent out six groups, but five of them, including Zhou Shen, failed. Only Dong Zhuo's army was fully mobilized and stationed in Youfufeng. The imperial court made Dong Zhuo the Marquis of Zhuxiang and granted him a thousand households for his meritorious service.

.

Dong Zhuo was appointed by the court to quell the rebellion in Hedong this time because he was relatively close. As a general who had been fighting in Xiliang for many years, his arrogant generals had already been formed. His son-in-law Niu Fu was appointed as Zhonglang General, leading five thousand Xiliang soldiers.

Qibing acted as the vanguard and rushed to the rescue of Anyi.

Regardless of whether Dong Zhuo will commit heinous crimes or be infamy for thousands of years in the future, at this time, Dong Zhuo is still a simple general of the Han Dynasty, another firefighter after Huangfu Song. The imperial court needs him and Hedong needs him.

When Yin De, the governor of Hedong, saw Niu Fu, he went to the city gate to greet him personally. He happily welcomed Niu Fu's people into the city. Also accompanying Niu Fu were Dong Zhuo's favorite generals Xu Rong, Hu Zhen, and Li Jue.

Guo Si. But most of these people are just military princes or Sima.

Wei Xuan saw Niu Fu and others at the Jiangyi County Government two days later. After Niu Fu arrived in Anyi, he rested for a day in An, then sent troops to Jiangyi, and then called Wei Xuan to lead his troops. Wei Xuan left Xu Huang behind

He led 2,000 men to guard Xiangfen, and the remaining men and horses, together with the three military princes Zhao Yun, Baishu, Liu Ming, and Zheng Teng, rushed to Jiangyi to join Niu Fu's army.

As a Zhonglang general worth two thousand stones and Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu was not as good as Yin De. Wang Meng and other scholars were afraid of the reputation of the Wei family in the country. These people were all soldiers and they only believed in military exploits. They were not only arrogant

They occupied the county government office and directly asked Wei Xuan and others to meet at the county government office instead of in the military camp outside the city.

Niu Fu's arrogance was well founded. Although he had heard in Anyi that Wei Xuan used 3,000 county soldiers to defeat the attack of more than 10,000 bandits, and killed nearly 10,000 people, no one believed that those bandits

Soldiers are not considered military merits. After all, during Zhangjiao's uprising, there were millions of soldiers, and they were in Hebei, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu, Sili and other places.

So when Wei Xuan brought several military princes to see Niu Fu, they naturally didn't get any good treatment. Niu Fu was sitting on the Taishi chair. He obviously liked the newly bought Taishi chair in Jiangyi County. He sat there with all his strength, and the others also sat there.

I didn't think of giving up my seat to Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, who allowed him to be young? Moreover, a serious official, Cao Tang, a Hedong soldier, only had three hundred shi. Any military prince here would have six hundred shi, and Sima would have even more than a thousand shi. The key is that they are all as strong as Xu Huang.

, with a murderous look on his face, it looked like he had fought bloody battles on the battlefield.

Niu Fu introduced everyone to Wei Xuan one by one. These people, such as Li Jue and Guo Si, curled their lips and ignored them. Hu Zhen nodded slightly. Xu Rong had a better attitude and stood up to face Wei Xuan.

Smiling is a return gift.

Wei Xuan is not someone who cares about these things. After all, everyone here has left a big name in the history books, and all of them are more famous than Wei Zhongdao in Hedong.

Wei Xuan bowed to Niu Fu and then came to Sima Xurong, who was in his early thirties and prepared to introduce Bai Shu and others to Niu Fu.

Niu Fu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Guard Cao did a good job in Anyi. Let's look at my Xiliang cavalry next."

Wei Xuan had no choice but to apologize and said with a smile: "Since the general led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has arrived, the traitors will naturally disappear. Xuan Jingjing waits for the general's good news."

Niu Fu could not deny this and asked: "How many bandits are there currently? How are they distributed?"

Wei Xuan then briefly explained to Niu Fu and others the general strength of the troops of Guo Tai, Yang Feng and others, as well as the two groups of troops garrisoned at Yize, Yishi and Dongwen respectively.

Niu Fu said with a smile: "In that case, I will wait for the troops to send to Dongqi tomorrow. I don't think Nahu will be able to hold on for a day. Guard Cao is an infantryman who will set out tomorrow to transport grain and grass and go directly to Yize."

Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that now that the regular army of the imperial court had arrived, these improvised miscellaneous forces could only be responsible for transporting grain and grass.

However, Wei Xuan still reminded: "General Niu, although the rebels are a mob, their leader Guo Taiyong is very powerful and Yang Feng is resourceful. Before setting off, we should send scouts to check the movements of the Dongwen and Yize rebels. Just in case.

Yang Feng rushed from Yishi to Yize, and there were only 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in one place among the five groups of thieves. In addition, there are many mountainous roads to the east of Jiangyi, which is not conducive to cavalry marching."

Li Jue curled his lips and said, "What did Guard Cao say? Our Xiliang army is not very brave. If they gather together, they can cook it in one pot, which will save effort and worry."

Guo Bang answered: "Haha, I haven't killed anyone for a long time. It seems that the people in Hedong don't know our evil reputation."

Wei Xuan raised his head and looked at the two men carefully, thinking that these two were the big demons who continued to cause harm to Guanzhong and plundered Hongnong and Luoyang many times after Dong Zhuo.

People on the field like Hu Zhen also had smiles on their faces, obviously not taking Guo Tai and the rest of the crowd seriously.

Baishu and others looked at these arrogant and powerful generals and were dissatisfied. However, Wei Xuan had made an explanation before entering. Moreover, Baishu and others' county soldiers and military marquises did not count, and they were not as hard as others appointed by the court.

Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Wei Xuan once again smiled at Niu Fu and said, "Then go down and prepare. If General Niu and everyone else have any orders, just send someone to inform Xuan."

Niu Fu nodded and glanced at Xu Rong. Xu Rong understood and stood up to accompany Wei Xuan out of the county office. When Wei Xuan saw that Xu Rong was the only one who got up to see him off, his expression was complicated. In terms of military positions, he should be the lowest.

But when it comes to military exploits, Wei Xuan was not clear about it before, but when the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong was one of the most brilliant generals besides Hua Xiong and Lu Bu, and he was not from Liangzhou.

Xu Rong's main achievements: When the princes attacked Dong, the Bian River defeated Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Liang Dong defeated Sun Jian. These two battles directly destroyed the Kwantung Allied Forces' originally weak confidence. Then he recommended Gongsun Du as the governor of Liaodong to make this

A region gained rare peace. Whether it was defeating Cao Cao or defeating Sun Jian, the bravest among the princes at that time, it can be seen that Xu Rong was a rare versatile person in both civil and military affairs.

Wei Xuan then started to make friends and said with a smile: "Xu Jun has come all the way to work hard. If you are free in the evening, please come to the account and Xuan Wei Jun Xu will be alone to wash away the dust."

Xu Rong was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that maybe the second son of the Wei family was because of the grand remarks he made when he came out to see him off, so he smiled and said: "We have to go out to the battle tomorrow, so we won't have to work for the army. When we defeat the bandits someday, you and I can have a good time.

Not too late."

It was hard to say when Wei Xuan met someone for the first time. Brother, I admire you very much. Who are Boss Cao and Jiangdong Tiger? You are awesome! So he said: "I think the day to break the thief is not far away. Xuan looks forward to that day coming soon."

.”

After bidding farewell to Xu Rong, Wei Xuan first went to the county magistrate who was hiding in the back hall and asked him to order the opening of the treasury. It was impossible for Wei Xuan to pay for the food, fodder and military pay for Niu Fu and others from his own pocket, except for the food transported from Anyi.

, naturally we drew local materials from here. The county magistrate had long been frightened speechless by the domineering behavior of Niu Fu and others. When he met the talkative second son of the Wei family, in addition to complaining about Niu Fu and others, he quickly agreed to Wei Xuan's request.

All the requirements. After all, because of Wei Xuan, he held the county seat, and because Niu Fu and others arrived, it was safe. He only needs to be responsible for logistics next, and he does not want to offend Niu Fu and others at this time and suffer from insufficient supply and affect the march.

crime.

Then Wei Xuan led everyone back to the camp outside the city. The reinforcements previously sent to Jiangyi also returned to the outside of the city. Only Jiangyi County soldiers and horses and Niu Fu's personal soldiers were left in Chengdu. Want to come to Niu Fu

No matter how domineering they are, they will not leave all five thousand cavalry in the city. In that case, the city will be even worse than what the thieves have robbed.

On the road, Bai Shu and others were indignant, but Wei Xuan said to Zhao Yun: "I see General Niu and others, they are all brave, but I don't know how capable they are of commanding troops?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "The Art of War says that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. These Xiliang soldiers are all above their heads. I think they will suffer losses sooner or later. But Xu Sima seems to be very special."

Wei Xuan laughed when he heard this: "He is a bit out of place. He is not from Xiliang, he is from Liaodong."

Zhao Yun exclaimed, as if he wanted to say that was the case. However, when everyone arrived at the camp outside the city, they finally understood why Li Jue, Guo Si and others looked down on the rebel soldiers and even looked down on the military princes under Wei Xuan.

Because they are really proud of themselves. Five thousand Xiliang soldiers have just arrived and are setting up camp. Groups of cavalry are patrolling outside the camp. There are tall and strong Xiliang horses sitting on the backs of strong soldiers. Those people are obviously more powerful than others.

The cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun these days are more impressive. Although one-on-one may not be able to defeat the Wei cavalry, if it is a group of people fighting, Zhao Yun feels that he is not sure.
