The hunting of scouts in Luyang, Longcheng, Hanoi and other places is a prelude to the war, but for everyone on both sides, it is not even considered a topic of discussion.

Luoyang.

In the imperial palace, several copper stoves were burning with charcoal fires. On both sides of the seats, they were drinking and chatting, and their words were high and rough. Occasionally, they would pull the palace maids who poured wine in their arms, laughing wildly, and unable to cover up the barbarity of their bodies. Outside the hall, when they walked quickly, the hall was drinking and singing. Most of the people who could participate in such a banquet were direct generals from Xiliang, such as Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Niu Fu, Li Ru, etc., as well as scholars collected by Luoyang and Cai Yong.

At the table, Cai Yong was not thinking about the banquet, and he was stunned with the cupping vessel. His colleagues around him probably understood that he was worried about his captured daughter. He sighed and was about to comfort him. Outside the hall, Lu Bu strode in and bowed to his figure above: "Lu Bu has seen his adopted father."

Dong Zhuo laughed and stood up, greeted him, pulled him over, "How is my son preparing?"

"The troops are ready, and you can wait for your adoptive father's military orders at any time." Lu Bu raised his head and his eyes were bright.

A short sect behind the side, with a white face and long beard, elegantly wiped the greasy mouth from his mouth, and stood up to bow to Dong Zhuo: "The Kanto Alliance Army is just a group of mobs. Although there are many soldiers and a wide range of generals, they all have two hearts. It is impossible to see this fashion. Just delay it for a long time, internal strife will inevitably occur."

Lu Bu glanced at the flattering scholar. He was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and Li Ru, who was almost the think tank in the entire Xiliang lineage. He knew who he was the one who poisoned King Hongnong to death not long ago. In fact, such villain behavior made Lu Bu despise and even had few words to communicate.

"The adoptive father, don't worry, there are paintings and red rabbits in cloth." The tall and mighty figure waved his hand, and his voice sounded in the hall, and his palms slowly clenched his fists: "The Guandong rats will definitely not be able to step on the Lishui Pass and take the lead and present it to the adoptive father."

These words made Dong Zhuo pat the other party’s thick shoulders and laugh, “Hahaha—— My son is brave, I naturally know that you will bring your headquarters to Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to Sishui Pass. I will send Li Su and Fan Chou to command you with 30,000 Xiliang soldiers.”

"Yes." Lu Bu bowed his order, and after drinking a few more drinks in the hall, he left the noisy Golden Palace. Then his face darkened, and his fists clattered, "...I am not a match for the father and son... I don't trust me, Lu Bu..."

On the other side, the voices in the Golden Palace continued to yell, and Li Ru said, "Father-in-law... Xu Rong and Hu Zhen's second general were afraid that they had arrived in Luyang at this moment. The son-in-law was a little worried whether they could block the tiger in Jiangdong and Yuan Highway."

"The tiger in Jiangdong...Sun Jian..." Dong Zhuo raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, threw it on several tables. The bronze bell stared at the scholar with big eyes. In a blink of an eye, he slapped the table on the table, making the hall silent. His voice sank: "…Sun Wentai - When he was in Xiliang, this person slandered in front of Zhang Wen and wanted to kill my husband's head..."

His eyes were covered with bloodshot and almost glared out. He stood up and carried his hands on his back, shaking his steps back and forth a few steps. After a while, he whipped his wide sleeves: "Summoning the cavalry commander Hua Xiong, go and help, be sure to bring the head of the Sun family to me."

Li Ru agreed happily. Not long after, the banquet dispersed and everyone walked out together. He held his head up and his hands were on the imperial palace road. The guards on both sides bowed and lowered their heads. The cold wind blew on their faces and their short beards moved. The scholar who was once in the desolate and outspoken Xiliang was no longer there.

He stopped at the palace gate, looked back at the huge imperial city, looked at the generals and scholars who came out in groups of three or three, and then turned back and continued to move forward.

This is where Li Wenyou plays his fists...

***************************************************************

On November 20th, the sky was dimming, the clouds accumulated, and the war gradually became fierce.

Twenty miles north of Mount Lu, an army from Luoyang was stationed there, with a circle of black beards under his chin, and a sturdy general who was not tall but very solid, removed his armor from his large tent and wiped his sweat stains. He fought fiercely for a day and stopped at dusk.

But for some reason, he felt that the tiger opposite was just a false reputation. After several attacks, the opponent's attack was not considered fierce.

"Count the wounded soldiers and place them properly." While wiping the sweat stains, he issued an order. Soon outside the tent, a scout from the army came to report: "The Grand Protector, the Grand Master sent the Chief Commander Hua Xiong to help. Niulanlei Pavilion, who was thirty miles away."

The copper basin hit the ground with a bang.

The Xiliang general named Hu Zhen has always been impatient. He came with Xu Rong, but he was eager to make a contribution. He took the lead and went to war with Sun Jian on the opposite side, but he did not take any advantage and had to set up camp. At this time, he was naturally furious when he heard reinforcements coming.

"The Grand Tutor is worried that I can't take Sun Wentai... Hua Xiong also wants to come and grab the credit... He sent an order to rest for a long time and fight Sun Wentai to the death tomorrow-"

Soon the night fell.

The lights were swaying in the big tent. Xu Rong looked at the cloth with terrain and thought about it. A war report that had been presented was thrown on a corner of the table. He had probably seen the battle between Hu Zhen and Sun Jian on the sun. After a while, he put away the topographic map and attracted the left and right deputy generals: "The tiger did not do its best. He will go to the robbery tonight. Protector Hu may be defeated as a mountain. Then you are waiting in Lushan and ambushing two places in Yihe. When Sun Jian pursues him, he will attack me on three sides."

"Then...will you tell me..."

Over there, the general waved his hand: "He is undefeated, why do we have any contribution?"

He stared at the shaking candlelight and closed his eyes lightly.

.....

In the military camp outside Luyang City, the lights were as usual, but there was a little more silence. Occasionally, there were faint screams of shrill people on the dark fields outside. Soon, the night became deeper and there was more chill.

In the dark tent, a figure took the iron spear leaning against the frame and lifted the curtain. The quiet light outside reflected the heroic face. He turned over the horse silently. The iron pieces on the armor collided, exuding a smell of iron blood. Behind him, soldiers with armor walked out of the tents of large and small around him, leading the horses in the formation.

"All light cavalry--" The hand that had released the hilt of the knife and raised it in the air. Sun Jian subconsciously clenched his fist, and the wrapped horse hooves slowly began to move, moving silently in the darkness. The infantry followed the slowly moving cavalry in front with weapons, walking silently.

Yin hour.

The cold wind blew past the tassel of the helmet. Sun Jian looked at the camp of ten thousand people in the black front with a stern look. The four generals behind him lined up in a row, slowly pulled out their weapons, and then said two words in a deep voice: "Attack--"

The black earth was silent... The dull sound of horse hooves gradually kicked off the cloth and made a rumble of horse hooves like shattering the earth.

On the Xiliang Army's whistle tower, the archers shot out arrows and exploded above the camp. Then an arrow shot from below. While the corpse fell down, several galloping horses walked straight towards the gate of the village with the roar. With the roar, the knight on the horse's back jumped off the horse's back and rolled in the place, and heard several loud bangs one after another.

The horses roared and neighed, and their bodies collapsed down with a loud bang. The four hooves struggled and kicked on the ground. More cavalry rushed over and rushed into the camp among the Xiliang army.

The moment Hu Zhen exploded, he flipped out of the bed and panickedly wore armor and drilled out of the camp. In his dim and chaotic vision, teams of cavalrymen rushed around with swords and guns. Most of the soldiers in the Western Liang in the camp did not have time to form a formation in panic. The murdered people were overturned and their flesh and blood were stormed.

"There are not many people, please send orders... I'll send orders quickly, don't run around, infantry formations, spearmen head up, and cavalry get on horseback in the rear to prepare-"

As a general of Xiliang, Hu Zhen naturally had some skills in leading the army. He shouted at the messenger beside him. When the flag verb was played, the figure was panicked, and many people could not see it. Just when they were anxious, a cavalry turned towards this side when the personal soldiers took over the formation. The leader was a big gun and the shield flew up. The spearhead shattered the head of a soldier. Then hundreds of cavalry bumped in.

"Don't let them come--"

The generals of Xiliang who were still in command and shouting were frightened, and naturally recognized the beard fighting in the crowd and opened their faces angrily. The guards on the left and right rushed forward to intercept them and turned around and shouted, "The Protector will leave first."

"Xiliang Dog Thief!! Let's go—" On the horse's back, Sun Jian looked bloody and roared fiercely at the two cavalrymen who were blocking them. He raised his hand and threw the iron spear out. While piercing one of them out of the horse's back and inserted it on the ground, he pulled out the ancient ingot knife from his waist, and slapped it, and cut off the other cavalry.

Looking forward again, the enemy general was leading the defeated troops to retreat to the rear camp gate, and then he slapped his horse and danced his sword to chase him.

As the saying goes: Generals are the courage of soldiers. This sentence is not unreasonable. The Western Liang soldiers are brave. If there is no brave general to take charge of the overall situation, to a large extent, the soldiers in the fight will be extinguished and thus defeated. The battle in the Xiliang Great Village is in chaos. Some people saw the main general running away, which caused even greater chaos for a while.

"Let's go...Maduo escaping ran away."

"surrender…"

Hu Zhen heard the sound in chaos from afar and gritted his teeth and wanted to turn back to fight. Suddenly, a group of soldiers came to intercept him. He gritted his teeth and roared and slashed at him. However, what he was greeted was an iron whip, which hit the gun. The other party was a veteran, but he was a little stronger.

When the iron whip was raised again, Hu Zhen did not dare to fight again, so he pulled his horse's head and quickly fled north. The hundreds of people left behind lacked command, were defeated and massacred.

During the rushing, Sun Jian integrated his subordinates' blood-stained face and was solemn and ferocious. The night wind blew over, and the cloak roared. He waved his knife and pointed it at the moment, "Continue to chase!"

The sound was filled with murderous aura.

However, soon after, he chased to the north and stood a black-faced and long-bearded general in the dark. He looked at the pursuing army, waved his hand and opened his mouth: "The enemy comes in... and sends orders... and attack!"

....

Then, the sound of shouting and fighting sounded all over the mountains and fields, and locusts shot out from the blue gray in the early morning of the night.
