Chapter 217 You can meet Huangfu Song when you attack Piwu

Li Su urged Xu Huang and Dian Wei to advance at the same time.

Twenty miles northeast, in the Meiwu Fortress in the north of Mei County, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, now the actual controller of the Dong clan, is looking worriedly at the distance on the East City Tower.

Dong Min was always worried about the enemy situation from Chang'an, and was bored because his subordinates were not fast enough to pack up their property. He was hesitant and did not know whether to guard or escape.

The news that his brother was killed by Wang Yun's design came the evening before yesterday, but Dong Min didn't know more details at that time, nor did he know how many generals stood with Wang Yun, so he wasted all night.

After all, if your family is big and your business is big, not everyone has the courage to give up directly. What if Dong Zhuo himself dies, it is just a palace assassination, and the generals are still willing to avenge Dong Zhuo? Wouldn't it be a big loss if they run away directly?

Yesterday morning, Dong Min found out that Lu Bu and other former Northern Army troops all surrendered to Wang Yun, and there was no news about the attitudes of the generals of Xiliang. It was only at that moment that he began to prioritize the options of "defend" and "escape" to a higher priority than "contact the generals against Chang'an".

The interference of the fog of war is always the enemy of indecisive people. The rich strategic reserves in the Meiwu, which are known as "the valley is enough for the defenders to eat for 30 years", and the huge amount of wealth, are even more reluctant to leave.

Just when Dong Min was worried and doubtful, several riders rushed towards the horizon outside the east gate. The speed of galloping was rare. Dong Min squinted his eyes and stared at him carefully, confirming that it was his son Dong Huang. He quickly ordered the city gate to open.

Dong Huang was sent by his father to Chang'an to inquire about the latest military situation, mainly focusing on whether Chang'an has sent troops to attack them. Once there is news, he will immediately return it.

After Dong Huang rushed into the city gate, he followed the guards as soon as they dismounted, and the horses foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. Dong Huang hurriedly roared and gasped and told him: "Year yesterday morning, Wang Yun had reappointed Huangfu Song as the left general to attack us. His troops were all old troops of the Northern Army of the Capital.

Wang Yun probably didn't believe in our Xiliang soldiers, so he only used Huangfu Song's old subordinates. Fortunately, there were not many cavalrymen in the Northern Army in the capital, and they might have a long way to go here."

It is 250 miles from Chang'an to Meiwu, which is actually about the same distance from Baozhong County, the northernmost edge of the Hanzhong Basin, to Meiwu. But who made Liu Bei Zhongyi? He heard that Dong Zhuo was going to usurp the Han Dynasty and sent troops that day, so it seemed that Huangfu Song, the army that "was sent troops to fight after the situation in Chang'an basically stabilized, came a little later. The fastest update is computer terminal::/

Moreover, Huangfu Song was also "inside combat". He had to entertain the local governments wherever he went, so he did not bring tents or food. The infantry could travel 250 miles in two days.

To put it another way, after seizing power in history, Wang Yun only restored Huangfu Song, who had been dismissed before, to the general of the Western Expedition, and even the left general refused to give it to him. Obviously, Wang Yun also knew that Huangfu Song's court was much older than him, and did not want senior bosses like Huangfu Song to reenter the center and threaten his status as a supplementary government.

In this life, because the position of the General of the Western Expedition was occupied by Liu Bei, Wang Yun could not be appointed as the General of the Western Expedition. Moreover, before Huangfu Song was exiled, he had to pinch his nose and restore Huangfu Song to the left to General Left.

Anyway, there will definitely be no conflict in the position of General Zuo. During his tenure, Dong Zhuo let his younger brother Dong Min become the left general. Now he asked Huangfu Song to kill Dong Min, obviously to let the new left general kill the old left general snatch the position himself.

After confirming the enemy situation, Dong Min fell to the ground: "It's really Huangfu Song leading his troops! He doesn't need to be a general in Xiliang! There's really no chance to get apart. Hurry up, take the goods already loaded and take more horses to transfer! I just want to go back to Xiliang to hide my name and become a rich man."

Dong Min didn't want the remaining items that had not been packed yet, so he let Dong Huang rest for half an hour. He took advantage of this time to gather all his tribe members, loaded things to load the car, and dozens of concubines who were most favored and often played with. Then he opened the Xicheng Gate of the Meiwu and slipped away while the night was dark.

Dong Zhuo "selected 800 young beauties among the people" in Meiwu, but the Dong family didn't have time to play with them all, so the construction of Meiwu for more than a year has only been played with more than a hundred people. Most of the more than a hundred people were played with by Dong Zhuo himself, and his younger brother and nephew dare not touch him.

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Dong Min and Dong Huang are afraid that they will not be able to run fast, so of course they will not be burdened with the deceased women, so there are only a few dozen people who have only brought them to play with.

In addition, the city gate was opened to escape while the night was dark, which was to prevent the army from mutiny. The target of the entire Mustache was too big. When the Meiwu defenders were in full swing, there were 3,000 people. When Dong Zhuo went to Chang'an, he took away most of them, and there were nearly 1,000 people. It was impossible to take the large army to run away quickly, so he could only bring more than 100 most trusted and reliable personal guards.

Unfortunately, after Dong Min left the city, he saw the fires winding in front of him. He was slightly shocked at first, fearing that the imperial army would come to kill him. But then he realized:

"Impossible! Chang'an is in the east! Huangfu Song came from the east, and we were running to our hometown in Xiliang. How could we run into Huangfu Song? However, Wang Yun could not have crossed Ji County to go to the west to mobilize troops to surround us? Could this be Chen Cang, Dong Yue, Dong Zhonglang's troops?"

When he thought that it might be the army of the Central Army General Dong Yue, Dong Min suddenly felt a little confident.

It’s true that in history, only Niu Fu and Dong Yue wanted to resist Wang Yun at first and were very loyal to Dong Zhuo’s remnants.

However, in history, Dong Yue was stationed in Mianchi, Hongnong County. His way back to the West was blocked by the Huayin section, and Niu Fu of Anyi, so Dong Yue had to find a backer to join forces to return west, and then he chose Niu Fu to join forces to protect himself.

Unfortunately, Niu Fu was a fool with no political vision. He was already a little frightened at that time. He couldn't guess whether Dong Yue came to join him if he was sincere. He even asked the diviner to tell fortunes and asked if Dong Yue was cheating.

But the diviner around Niu Fu had an old grudge with Dong Yue, pretending to be a ghost and saying, "Dixia Li Shang, Fire defeats metal, and the outside is a hexagram for the inside." That is to say, the more Wang Yun sent him to dismantle Niu Fu's army, or he thought that Dong Yue wanted to annex Niu Fu's tribes. After Niu Fu believed in the hexagram, he decisively killed and killed Dong Yue and annexed his tribes. :(/

All of this is now due to Liu Bei's butterfly effect, the protruding part of Mianchi was abandoned. Dong Yue moved to Chen Cang and it was impossible for him to happen again. However, Dong Min still knew Dong Yue's personality and his loyalty and reliability to the Dong warlords, so he firmly believed that Dong Yue must have sent troops to kill Wang Yun and turn the tables.

Dong Min was overjoyed and looked at the thousands of troops holding torches and shouted: "Is the person coming under Dong Zhonglang? I am the left general Dong Min. Dong Zhonglang can join me to serve the king and avenge the Grand Tutor!"

After muttering in the opposite formation for a while, a fierce general slapped his horse out of the formation and roared: "Who is the left general? There is a token! I am the captain Fan Chou under Dong Zhonglang's tent! It is not convenient to recognize the letter without a talisman seal late at night!"

Dong Min hurriedly took all the tokens of his talisman seal and ribbon, grabbed them all in his hand, and personally stepped forward to face the "Fan Chou", wanting to use the light of the torch to let the other party see clearly.

Who made the "Fan Chou" hide on the backlight side and the torch could not illuminate his face? Dong Min didn't find any flaws for a while. And the "Fan Chou"'s figure was indeed extremely burly and sturdy, which was indeed similar to Fan Chou, who was known as the number one fierce man in Chen Cang's army.

It was not until the two were only five or six steps apart that Dong Min realized something was wrong by taking advantage of the night's backlight: "Hmm? I've seen Captain Fan, you are not..."

"Dong Min's thief was killed! Chen Liu and Dian Wei are here!" Dian Wei flew several times and threw several hand halberds, instantly tying Dong Min into a blood gourd.

Taking advantage of the killing of the rebels, the Hanzhong military farm soldiers who had already quietly spread their wings to surround them, rushed up and covered the killing. After a bloody battle, they killed all the guards of the Dong family.

Dong Huang, Dong Bai and others were killed in the chaos. After the war, they were tortured by a few prisoners and identified the corpses and found out their identities. Li Su shook the folding fan and ordered the heads of all the Dong family members with names to cut off their heads to repay their merits.

This deal is really worthwhile. I didn't fight much, and I also gained the credit of "assisting the imperial court to suppress the rebel army and kill Dong Zhuo's younger brother and nephew". If it were put into the hands of ordinary people, it would be fine to start from being a lieutenant from white.

You should know that in official history, Lu Bu was awarded the title of Hou Wenhou of the County by killing Dong Zhuo. It is not too much to give Dong Zhuo a captain to the captain.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, due to the butterfly effect, these guys were preparing to take away their property, or they were preparing to join Dong Yue. If Li Su had not led his troops to intercept him, they might have really let him run away.

After cutting off the head, the soldiers wanted to continue to snatch the dozen carriages loaded with money in Dong Min's convoy, but Li Su ordered Dian Wei Xuhuang to stop them.

Not to mention, fortunately, Xu Huang is a man who is very strict in his military management, so although these Hanzhong military soldiers are not very good at fighting quality, their military discipline is still quite good.

After all, it is also someone who is said to be "Zhou Yafu's military style", so it is still possible to stop robbery.

Li Su was not harsh on his soldiers and announced in public that he could get his own jewelry and property worth tens of thousands of yuan after entering the dock, but he was not allowed to touch these packaged stolen goods. He also said that the property left in the dock must be at least dozens of times more than here, and there was no need to carry so many things on the way.

Then Li Su took out some paper and white silk as seals, pasted all the boxes, and then covered them with his own seal of Shu County prefect, asking Xu Huang to send reliable people and 300 guards to directly protect these convoys of property back to Baoxi Road and handed over to Liu Bei, who was on standby in the rear army.

Xu Huang asked for instructions and tactfully hoped that Li Su could promise to upgrade at least all the officers and soldiers who were escorted. Only then did Li Su understand and immediately ordered the escort who was picked out to escort on the spot:

"The east and the west are sealed and sent back to the General Office of the Western Expedition. You will be promoted to the Marquis of Qu Jun, and all the other soldiers and officers will be promoted to one level. Moreover, I promise that each soldier will be given ten thousand yuan and the officers will give you rewards of 30,000 yuan. Each of the dead in this battle will be given a reward of 100,000 yuan."

After saying this, he immediately calmed down and his subordinates obeyed the orders.

After all, I have to give up the opportunity to make a fortune in Meiwu and immediately go back with a large amount of sealed things. Who will do it if you don’t give me any benefits?

Li Su also took the opportunity to warn others: "Don't have too many fantasies. Even if we arrive early, it may not be ours. This is all the income from Dong Zhuo's plunder of Sili and Sanfu people's wealth, so it will naturally be returned to the court.

Moreover, according to the prisoners, Dong Min heard that the imperial army was attacking under General Huangfu's leadership and then abandoned Meiwu and fled. General Huangfu was the benefactor of the general's expedition to the west. We must not conflict with the justice army of the court for money and property! Those who violate the order shall engage in military law!"

When he made this request, Li Su was actually quite helpless. He was also blamed for not looking at history carefully enough. He always thought that it was like in the Romance, when Lu Bu brought people to rob Diao Chan.

Unexpectedly, the one who came was Huangfu Song as the head coach. He was Lu Zhi's old colleague and Liu Bei's benefactor. How could he rob him of Huangfu Songming? Otherwise, for the sake of Dong Zhuo's savings, he would ruin the reputation of loyalty and righteousness that Liu Bei had managed for many years, which would be more than worth the loss.

Be sure to endure greed.

Of course, the dozens of carts brought by Dong Min took them away. Anyway, they killed all the remaining Dong's personal prisoners and prisoners to silence them. The people in the court knew that the existence of this batch of property was not known, let alone how much it was. At least this small fortune was made by Li Su.

Let’s take a look at the remaining big head.

The troops continued to walk for a few miles and finally saw the walls of Meiwu. Based on the information asked by the prisoners, Li Su estimated that the sea of ​​people in the city had not known that Dong Min had escaped, nor did he know that Dong Min was attacked by surprise. These people were probably loyal to the Dong family.

Li Su thought about it and planned to make Xu Huang and Dian Wei pretend to be Dong Yue and Fan Chou and shout for the door based on the inspiration of the encounter just now.

Dian Wei stepped forward at the top of his voice: "I am the lieutenant Fan Chou, and this is the left general Dong Yue and Gong Dong. We were shocked to hear that the Grand Tutor was killed by a traitor minister yesterday morning. We raised troops from Chen Cang overnight to serve the king. We did not bring military rations. Quickly open the city to reward the army!"

Dian Wei shouted for a long time, but the city wall just didn't open. Only a few gatekeepers said desperately, "I dare not open the door late at night, wait for dawn to open again."

No matter how Dian Wei followed Li Su's instructions, it would be useless to say "what should be punished for delaying military aircraft".

But the walls of the Meiwu are seven feet high and thick, so it is impossible to attack the city.

It took a long time to go like this, and it was probably midnight. Dian Wei and Xu Huang pretended to be camping outside the west gate and were at a loss. Suddenly, they heard another movement at the north gate of Meiwu. Xu Huang hurriedly took a few cavalry to check it out, and found that hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the north gate, but the speed was relatively slow, and it seemed that the load was heavy. It was obvious that everyone was running for life with big bags and small bags.

"It was the soldiers in the dock who ran away with their property! Block the door quickly!"

It turned out that the defenders of Meiwu finally found that even Dong Min was missing. They probably had escaped. Only then did the morale collapse and completely chaotic. Seeing that a large army came to take over Meiwu, they were afraid that they would not get any benefits after receiving it, so they took advantage of the crazy guards to steal it, and when they saw something valuable, they would pack a bag and run away.

Li Suxin was bleeding: These hundreds of soldiers from Dong's thief army can escape with one bag of gold, silver, and soft! It's really a disaster that everyone flew away. We can't underestimate the self-interesting courage of the philanthropists.

But Li Su's men came over the plank road and could not catch up with those who were riding horses and running around in scattered areas. They could only block them as soon as possible and started a melee outside the north gate.

The remnants of Dong Zhuojun just wanted to take the money to escape, so the soldiers had no desire to fight. Those who had hope to break through were rushed to break through, and those who were really blocked fought. And the last one knew that they would definitely not be able to run out, so they wanted to close the gate to defend the city, but they were stabbed by those comrades who had "still hope to rush out" because those who had hope to escape did not want to be dragged down by their slow teammates.

Dong Zhuo's guards were so fierce that Xu Huang finally attacked the Meiwu after a quarter of an hour of bloody battle. It was already the second half of the night, and Huangfu Song's army in the east of the city had already arrived overnight.
