The two major earthquakes in Guanzhong indirectly and directly ended the large-scale bloody war on this plain. Chen Cheng finally defeated all powerful opponents, monopolized the fertile land with a radius of thousands of miles, and opened the door to Luoyang. Today's West
Although the Liang army still had strong combat effectiveness, they had to stop their progress and instead spent their energy and resources on solving various problems in Guanzhong.
The armies of Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo raged successively, causing serious damage to Guanzhong. Originally, the three auxiliaries combined had more than 300,000 households and a population of more than 1.6 million. In post-war statistics, the number of household registrations was only
Half. Crops everywhere have also been destroyed by half, and there is destined to be a huge food gap this year.
Coupled with the bandits roaming everywhere and the defeated troops, the already bad situation further worsened. While leading the army to destroy the bandits and defeated troops, Chen Cheng ordered people to transfer more grain from Xiliang to Guanzhong for use.
Feed a huge number of refugees.
While Chen Cheng and his men were busy rebuilding order in Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo finally fled back to Hedong and contacted Yang Feng, the leader of the Baibo Army. After the Baibo Army obtained the territory in Hedong, they successively fought against Ding Yuan's Army.
Several times, a lot of troops and horses were lost, and now there are still more than 20,000 people left, including about 10,000 more elite ones.
In addition to these troops, the Baibo Army also had one or two hundred thousand dependents distributed over a wide area of land near the northern mountains.
Dong Zhuo fled all the way and gathered two to three thousand soldiers and horses. After arriving at Anyi, he immediately summoned Yang Feng to see him. In the past, Dong Zhuo's army was one hundred thousand. Although Bai Bo's army was also said to be one hundred thousand, most of them were old and weak.
Women and children had no choice but to rely on others and had to submit to Dong Zhuo's lustful power.
Now the situation was reversed, and Yang Feng was not so obedient. When faced with Dong Zhuo's summons, he refused to go away on the grounds of physical discomfort. After the messenger sent back the news that Yang Feng refused to come, Dong Zhuo was furious.
He was about to lead his troops to kill the capricious Baibo thief, but was stopped by Li Ru and others.
It's impossible not to stop them. Now that they have few people, if they really start fighting, won't they be destroyed by the overwhelming Baibo army?
"It's outrageous!"
Dong Zhuo's hair was a lot grayer and his energy was not as good as before. He said angrily: "I should have known that the Baibo thieves were not good people. I should have cut off Yang Feng's head before sending troops!"
"Lord, since Yang Feng won't come because he's sick, why don't we go there in the name of visiting a sick person?"
Li Ru twirled his beard and smiled: "It only takes ten or twenty people to control Yang Feng. Once the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Bai Bo thieves are annexed, it is not up to the lord to say what he wants to do with him in the future.
thing?"
Dong Zhuo's face softened a little, and he snorted and said: "Then I will go to the door to see how Yang Feng is doing. If he is very ill, he may die of the disease at any time, then it is only natural that we take over the Baibo Army.
thing!"
Li Ru coughed a few times and said with a smile, "That's exactly what it should be."
After that, he started coughing again. During the escape process, Li Ru was separated from Dong Zhuo for a while, and finally rejoined the team, but the root cause of his illness had already been discovered. When Dong Zhuo saw him, he said with some worry: "Wen You, your body
Are you okay?"
Li Ru smiled and said: "I can't die."
Dong Zhuo said: "When the Baibo bandits are annexed, I will find a doctor to treat you!"
Yang Feng hid at home, claiming to be ill, but when Dong Zhuo came over with more than 20 generals to visit him, he couldn't turn them away. After thinking for a while, Yang Feng could only reluctantly
Reluctantly, he met Dong Zhuo and his party in the lobby.
"Ahem," Yang Feng pretended to cough a few times and did not get up. He sat behind the table and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Mr. Dong Zhuo is seriously ill in his lower body and cannot get up to greet you. Can you please
Forgive me!"
There was no sign of anger on Dong Zhuo's face now. He laughed twice and said: "General Zhonglang is not in good health. Of course, the main thing is to recuperate, and to welcome those who are not welcome is the second priority."
He Jin once ennobled Yang Feng as the Zhonglang General in the name of the Emperor, so Dong Zhuo called him the Zhonglang General.
Yang Fengqian laughed twice and said: "I am very grateful to Dong Bingzhou for being so reasonable. In fact, I don't have any serious illness. I just feel cold occasionally. The doctor said that I should rest at home and it is best not to go out."
Dong Zhuo nodded clearly and said: "I see, I have been worried that Zhonglang will be too seriously ill, and I am afraid that tens of thousands of people in the Baibo Army will lose their backbone. But I think you are not very ill.
, but it’s not light, how about you rest for a few more days and let me handle the things here?”
Yang Feng's face changed drastically and he asked in shock: "What do Dong Bingzhou mean?"
More than 20 people brought by Dong Zhuo gathered around vaguely. He seemed to say casually: "Isn't what I said clear enough? Hedong County was originally part of Bingzhou. It was lent to your Baibo Army for temporary residence. Now
Well, I decided to take it back."
Yang Feng stood up suddenly and said with a mix of shock and anger: "You yourself were defeated in Guanzhong, and you want to annex our Baibo Army?"
Dong Zhuo's face suddenly darkened and he shouted: "What does annexation mean? I am Bingzhou Mu, Chariot and Cavalry General, who was conferred by the imperial court. Now I order you to hand over your troops and horses. Do you obey or not?"
Yang Feng looked at Dong Zhuo's general who was getting closer. The expression on his face changed. He shouted: "I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city. If you dare to touch me, you will definitely be chopped into pieces by the soldiers of the Baibo Army!"
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "As long as I hold you, Yang Feng, will anyone else dare to attack me?"
Yang Feng kept backing up, "pop", and leaned his back against the wall of the house. He pulled out the ring-shou knife from his waist, took a deep breath, and asked loudly: "Dong Shijun, stop now, I'll let you go."
How about you go out of the city to Taiyuan?"
Dong Zhuo sneered: "The matter has come to this, why bother saying these meaningless words? Put down your sword, I don't want to kill you."
He added in his mind: At least not now.
If we can capture the opponent, we can successfully annex the Baibo Army's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Yang Feng is valuable only if he is alive. If he is dead, it will take a lot of effort. However, in the face of Dong Zhuo's sarcastic words, Yang Feng
Feng suddenly burst into laughter, his smile full of pride and arrogance. Dong Zhuo's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "Go ahead, capture Yang Feng, even if he is dead!"
Yang Feng also shouted loudly: "Where is Xu Huang?"
"Crack!"
The screen in the house suddenly shattered, and an eight-foot-long strong man in full body armor holding a long-handled battle ax smashed the screen and rushed out. He responded loudly: "Xu Huang is here."
!”
As he spoke, the long-handled battle ax struck down, and the head of a charging Dong Zhuojun general was split in half. Red blood and white brains splashed out. Behind Xu Huang, there were seven or eight others.
The armored soldiers, waving their swords, fought with the men brought by Dong Zhuo.
The soldiers of the Baibo Army outside pushed down the courtyard wall and rushed in with their spears drawn. After a fierce battle, more than a dozen soldiers of the Baibo Army fell in a pool of blood. After paying these prices, the result in exchange was Dong Zhuo.
The group was either killed in battle or captured, and no one escaped.
Anyi was a place where Bai Bo's army had been running for a long time. Yang Feng had already prepared, so how could he be harmed by Dong Zhuo's tricks? He had been hesitating before, but now the world is in such chaos that he has no idea what to do next.
But since Dong Zhuo made the move first, with swords and weapons, the matter could not be left to anyone else.
Li Ru was waiting for news about Dong Zhuo in the military camp in the city. He was more seriously ill than outsiders thought, but he was just holding on. Now that no one else was around, he no longer had to cover up, and he coughed one after another, as if his lungs were full.
It was like coughing up something. Suddenly, a soldier stumbled in and shouted in horror: "It's not good!"
"Ahem...what's wrong?"
The soldier fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face. He opened his mouth wide and made a "hehe" sound in his throat.
Li Ru stood up impatiently, coughing, and walked out. When he reached the gate of the camp and saw the situation outside, his heart suddenly became cold. Outside the military camp, people were already being beaten.
Hundreds of Baibo troops surrounded them.
Among the Baibo soldiers, Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's distorted face. Tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He looked at Dong Zhuo's head stuck on the tip of the gun in silence, and suddenly felt despair. On Dong Zhuo's head
Next to it, there were more than 20 other heads stuck in it.
Those heads were all people Li Ru knew, including Li Jue, Guo Si, Hu Zhen, etc. These people were once generals who commanded tens of thousands of troops, but now they have fallen into the same trap as those they massacred.
The fate of the first different place.
Yang Feng put on his armor and, surrounded by soldiers, walked to the front. He shouted majestically in the direction of the military camp: "Everyone inside listen, Dong Zhuo tried to murder this general, but I have already killed him."
Yes, if you know the image, then abandon your weapons and surrender, then I can let you go. If not..."
He pointed at Dong Zhuo's head with a ferocious face and shouted: "...This is your fate!"
"Open the camp door!"
"Ah?" Some of the soldiers on the side didn't hear clearly, or they thought they heard wrongly, "Commander, what did you say?"
Li Ru said in a hoarse voice: "I said open the camp gate!"
The soldiers looked at each other. Now that the lord and the generals were dead, they had no backbone and were at a loss. Since Li Ru said to open the camp gate, they did it.
Seeing the closed gate of the camp opened, Yang Feng laughed, his laughter full of pride. Han Xian beside him laughed and said: "What Xu Gongming said is true. After these people saw Dong Zhuo's head, they really
Just surrender obediently!"
Yang Feng said proudly: "Xu Huang is both civil and military, and he can be said to be my number one general!"
Han Xian's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "If General Zhonglang hadn't captured Xu Huang's mother, I don't think he would be so obedient. The general must keep an eye on him in the future and don't let him escape with others.
