The autumn leaves are rustling, the wild geese fly south, the north palace of Chang'an City is Jiadi, and in the back garden of the left central general Cai Yong's mansion, the melodious sound of piano lingers among the autumn leaves of the forest, sometimes like a spring in the valley, gurgling, slowly flowing, sometimes like a whisper, thousands of words can't be finished, sometimes with the gentle breeze, soft and quiet, soft and comfortable, sometimes with the fallen leaves of the wild geese, revealing a bit of bleakness.

This is a song that makes me think.

Cai Yong stood in the back garden and listened for a long time. When he saw his daughter who was immersed in the piano under the pavilion, he couldn't help but sigh.

Qin is the voice of his heart, and there is nothing in the world that is more familiar with Qin's sound than Cai Yong. How could he not hear the memories and longing in his daughter's heart?

Under the pavilion, Cai Yan, wearing a blue flower skirt, seemed to hear her father's sigh, and the song ended with thought. She stopped the piano and looked up and saw her father coming over, stood up gracefully, and went to help her father: "Aweng."

"Ah." Cai Yong looked at his daughter who had been reduced by a lot, and couldn't stop his anger at the man. He then forced himself to suppress it and sighed: "Hedong Wei family sent someone to propose marriage..."

Cai Yan shook her head gently, her bright eyes lowered: "Aweng, my daughter doesn't want to get married yet."

Cai Yong said dissatisfiedly: "Hello, you are already sixteen years old. It's time to get married. Could it be that you have to stay at home for the rest of your life? Zhongdao is also half a disciple of his father. He is young and promising, handsome and knowledgeable, and is really a good match."

Cai Yan frowned and said, "Although Wei Zhongdao is good, he is not the one who his daughter likes."

Cai Yong was immediately furious and scolded: "What's wrong with Zhongdao? Isn't it as good as Zhang Liao who only knows how to fight and kill!"

Cai Yan said dissatisfiedly: "Wenyuan is more knowledgeable and visionary."

Cai Yong snorted: "Zhang Liao is a prime minister, how can he die well in the future!"

Cai Yan said unhappily: "Isn't Ah Weng also under Dong Zhuo?"

Cai Yong sighed: "It is precisely because of this that my father wants my son to escape from the right and wrong place in Chang'an and go to Hedong. Even if there is an accident in my father's future, my son will be able to keep his safety safe."

"Aweng." Cai Yong held his father's arm: "Don't say this, it's dangerous, and his daughter must accompany Aweng."

Seeing that his father was going to persuade him, Cai Yan bit his lip and said, "Although Wei Zhongdao is familiar with the meaning of the scriptures, his health is too poor. His daughter once heard from Yiren that he is weak and prone to illness, so he is not a good match."

"Oh?" Cai Yong was stunned, then looked at Cai Yan suspiciously: "Although Zhongdao is weak, it is not like this, right? Did you hear what Zhang Liao said?"

Cai Yan quickly shook his head and denied it.

Cai Yong snorted: "A father knows what his son thinks, but Zhang Liao acts roughly and does not know the tribute and magnanimity. He actually married Princess Hongnong as his wife. Such a person, how can a father betroth you to him? He agrees to his father, and he already has a first wife. Does the son want to be a concubine? He will never agree to this kind of father!"

A trace of gloom flashed in Cai Yan's bright eyes, and he sighed softly, saying, "My daughter is just accompanying Ah Weng."

A trace of gloom flashed in Cai Yong's eyes and sighed: "Dong Huang came to the mansion several times these days, but for his father to see that his intentions were wrong. He just reads books in the back hall for nothing, so he must not go out."

Cai Yan naturally knew Dong Huang's identity and power, and a hint of worry flashed through his bright eyes, and nodded: "Aweng must deal with it carefully and not offend him."

Cai Yong said again: "If my son responded to Wei's marriage, he would not be afraid of Dong Huang."

Cai Yan lowered her head and said nothing.

...

Luoyang and Bi Guiyuan, Dong Zhuo frowned as he looked at the document in his hand, and Li Ru, Tian Yi and Liu Ai were all there.

After a moment, Dong Zhuo put down the document, glanced at the three people below, and said, "Hu Wencai reported that the governor of his command, Hua Xiong, led his troops to attack Yingchuan. After a day of fierce battle, although there were losses, he killed the prefect of Yingchuan Li Min."

Liu Ai and the other two couldn't help but say in unison: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister."

Li Rudao: "After Zhang Wenyuan killed the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Yichang, another thief chief was killed in Yingchuan. In this way, the Yingchuan bandits were not afraid of it."

Liu Ai also comforted his beard and said, "Now the prime minister's favorite generals Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji have led their troops south, and Guandong can be pacified."

Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy and said, "Li Min was beheaded, and the rebel Yuan Shao also forged an edict to call Tang Xiang the prefect of Yingchuan."

When Li Ru and Tian Yi heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

Liu Ai asked, "What the Prime Minister said is Tang Xiang, the former prefect of Danyang?"

"It's this thief!" Dong Zhuo snorted: "I have had an old age with his clan, Tang Xuan. Could this thief be ruined again?"

Liu Ai was a little puzzled when he saw Dong Zhuo's expression and said, "Prime Minister, Tang Xiang is just a scholar and does not engage in military affairs. Although he is the prefect of Yingchuan, he is just another Li Min'er. What's the point?"

Dong Zhuo's face shook: "This thief is also uncle Wenyuan."

"Zhang Wenyuan?" Liu Ai then remembered the relationship between Zhang Liao and Tang Xiang. Judging from Dong Zhuo's attitude, his eyes flashed and said, "In the past, Zhang Yang rebelled against Hanoi, and the Prime Minister transferred Zhang Liao to Chenggao. Now Tang Xiang is the prefect of Yingchuan. Xuanyuan Pass faces Yingchuan directly. You must be careful of it. It is advisable to transfer back to Zhang Liao quickly, or you can take over his troops and be led by others."

Dong Zhuo did not speak, but looked at Li Ru: "Wenyou thinks what?"

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Since Tang Xiang was the prefect of Yingchuan, Zhang Wenyuan could not guard Xuanyuan Pass anymore, so he could be ordered to return to Luoyang. However, Zhang Wenyuan defeated the thieves of Guandong several times, made outstanding achievements, and was loyal to the prime minister. It was inappropriate to collect his troops. Just when the war was at the same time, it might disappoint the soldiers."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Yes, it's inappropriate to collect his troops."

Li Ru said again: "Zhang Wenyuan was originally a new recruit. In the previous few wars, he relied on loyalty and righteousness and brave raids. The original soldiers suffered a lot and captured some prisoners. The quality was mixed, and it was difficult to fight for a while. Now he was just right to transfer him back to Luoyang and ordered him to rectify his troops. In this way, it would not only avoid the incident of Tang Xiang, but also not to lose the hearts of the soldiers. It can be said that he won both kills the two birds with one stone."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded with satisfaction: "I will follow Wen You's words."

...

In the early morning, in Xuanyuan Pass, soldiers finished training in the school grounds. Zhang Liao went up to the pass building, summoned Yang Han, and asked, "Has Song Chao set up defenses outside Yangcheng?"

Yang Han hurriedly said, "Shuqi has followed the lord's plan and brought thousands of soldiers to a radius of several miles between Xuanyuan Pass and Yangcheng. He dug hundreds of thousands of small pits, all of which are as big as a bowl and about a foot deep. When the horse's hooves step into it, they will inevitably be destroyed. He also set up wooden stakes, buried horses, cut bamboo thorns, lay straw, and poured trees. This is both a trap and can be attacked by fire, which is enough to make the cavalry afraid."

When Zhang Liao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. After Tang Xiang became the prefect, he had already had a premonition that he would not stay in Xuanyuan Pass for too long. Once he left Xuanyuan Pass, if someone else came to garrison, he might invade Yingchuan again. So he asked Song Chao to use a stupid method to spread the pits within a few miles of Xuanyuan Pass and Yangcheng, turning it into a cavalry's Jedi. After the trap, soldiers were stationed. In this way, it would be difficult for Hu Qi to get down to Yingchuan from here.

As long as the Guandong princes' troops entered Luoyang, Yingchuan would be safe.
