In the early morning of February 23rd in the third year of Chuping, the weather was gloomy. It was already dawn, but it was still pitch black. Standing on the city tower in Qiaomen County, the cold and ruthless northwest wind whistled through the crenellations of the city wall, sending out
There were bursts of roaring, shrill sounds.
Xu Huang led his army on a starry and night journey, and finally arrived outside Qiaomen County before Lin's army arrived.
Regardless of the fact that his soldiers were as cold as red-headed radishes, Xu Huang ordered each army to set up camp on their own. He couldn't wait to lead his personal guards to the west gate of Qiaomen County to seize the gate and call the city.
"Listen to the gatekeepers on the city. Bingzhou Fenwu General Xu Huang invites you to see the governor. Please open the city gate quickly."
The defenders at the city gate were most sleepy at this time, huddled under the wall and taking a nap with cold weapons in their arms.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting "Guan" outside the city gate. I was very angry at that time. I was about to poke my head out and yell a few curses to relieve the stagnation in my chest, but suddenly I heard Xu Huang's name.
Are you kidding me? There are two gods of war in the Bingzhou army who are known as undefeated.
One is the flying general Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian who has gone elsewhere, and the other is the Fenwu general Xu Huang and Xu Gongming.
These two were both invincible super generals. In their battles with the grassland tribes, they had never been defeated for a while. Instead, they killed the people outside the wall and made rivers of blood flow. They made the foreigners famous and fearful, and they did not dare to take a step beyond the border.
Even if you are blind or deaf and don't know who the governor of Bingzhou is, you will definitely know the two war gods who fought for Bingzhou from birth to death to protect the country and the people.
"It turns out that General Xu is back. Hurry, open the city gate quickly and let General Xu come in to warm up. In this damn weather, the northwest wind is like a knife wrapped around it. It can tear open cuts on the face."
In just a few breaths, Xu Huang moved his body a little on his horse. Before he could recover, the city gate of Qiaomen County had already creaked open with a gap of more than two feet wide.
"General Xu, please come in quickly. There is an order from above. You must not give this order. The city gate must not be opened more than three feet in time of war. I really have wronged you."
Xu Huang didn't have the time to quarrel with the gatekeepers. He just nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then rode his horse and squeezed into the city gate, running towards the county government like flying.
When Mu Shun received the news of Xu Huang's return, Xu Gongming had not had time to enter the city gate, but Mu Shun still smashed Ding Yuan's bedroom door, regardless of the fact that he was asleep in the early morning.
"Sir, there is an urgent report from outside the city. General Xu Huang and Xu Gongming have arrived with their troops. They will be able to meet you in about half an hour."
As expected, Ding Yuan in the room is not asleep yet. He can't sleep now and doesn't leave the bedroom. He forces himself to sleep for a while, this time, this time, and now, without delaying anything.
"Gongming is back. It's great. Tell him to come to see me quickly. If he rushes again,
If he doesn't arrive, I can't wait for him, so I can only go south to Hongnong to seek Fengxian's asylum."
Mu Shun clenched his teeth fiercely, and the muscles on his cheeks bulged and kept squirming ferociously.
He never imagined that Ding Yuan had no intention of counterattacking Lin Jun. If he could not wait for Xu Huang to come to his rescue, he would actually consider going south to join Wang Yun's camp. No wonder he refused to do so no matter what when he reached Qiaomen County.
Continue to flee west.
What a fart this fight is!
No wonder Ding Yuan blew up the cities of Jinyang and Lishi by three feet. It turned out that he planned to give these people as gifts to Wang Yun in order to get better rewards and status.
If Mu Shun hadn't been accustomed to being loyal to Ding Yuan, he would have had the urge to kick open the door, enter and stab the fat man to death.
Soon after, Ding Yuan opened the door and walked out.
Although Mu Shun is the commander of Ding Yuan's bodyguard, he has not seen Ding Yuan for five or six days. During this time, Ding Yuan locked himself in a room alone, eating and going to the toilet in the room, except for a few people who came in regularly.
The house cleaning servants, including Mu Shun, did not allow anyone to enter the room.
When he suddenly saw Ding Yuan, Mu Shun took a deep breath.
Is this still Ding Yuan, Ding Jianyang, the tiger of Bingzhou who can fight with a sword when he mounts his horse, and can shoot a vulture with a bow when he dismounts?
The originally strong body had completely collapsed at this time, and the straight waist also became rickety. The rosy face became dark and dark, as if coated with a layer of gray, and even the eyes that looked at the eagle and the wolf were also at this time.
Because of his abundant bloodshot eyes, he looked as haggard as an old farmer who had suffered a disaster in the fields.
"Sir, what are you..."
Before Mu Shun finished speaking, Ding Yuan turned around and smiled sadly: "Mu Shun, I am old and can no longer withstand failure. I have thought too much during this period. If our army is lucky enough to survive the battle at Qiaomen,
After victory, I am ready to give up the position of governor to Gongming, and I would rather return to my hometown to retire."
"Absolutely not. Bingzhou is in turmoil right now, but your presence is indispensable."
For some reason, Mu Shun, who just wanted to kick Ding Yuan to death, suddenly became extremely reluctant to leave after Ding Yuan expressed his intention to retreat. His nose felt sour and his eye circles turned red unconsciously.
"Haha, I mistakenly believed in Yang Feng and Zhang Yangzhi. If Gongming could have been placed in Yanmen or Shangdang earlier, the two counties would not have fallen at the same time anyway, leading to the complete collapse of Bingzhou and the situation becoming uncontrollable.
.”
Ding Yuan was telling Mu Shun what he had learned in isolation during this time, when Xu Huang came forward under the guidance of his personal guards.
"The last general, Xu Gongming, pays homage to Lord Ming. The disaster caused by the Xiongnu in northern and southern Xinjiang has been eliminated. I am here to hand over my military orders."
Ding Yuan stretched out his arms to lift Xu Huang up from the ground, and was so excited that he burst into tears.
"Gongming, you are back. The military report from the front indicates that Lin Jun is less than sixty miles away from Qiaomen County. Now I can only see a glimmer of hope against Lin Jun when I see you."
Xu Huang clasped his hands in fists and said, "I would also like to ask Ming Gong to give another military order to the last general. Huang is willing to lead his army to meet with Pingyuan Lin Zhirou."
"Okay, okay, okay, you take my sword and go forward to order the troops. If any troops and horses near the bridge gate dare to disobey your military orders, you can use this sword to kill them first and then report them."
"The general will get the order!"
Xu Huang took the sword from Ding Jianyang and without another word turned around and strode away. Mu Shun looked at Xu Huang's back with envious eyes.
Wen Chou still didn't know the news that Xu Huang led his army to Qiaomen County. The Baishui camp camped next to the river tonight. Sitting in the big tent, the clear and sweet sound of the flowing water of the Zouma River could be heard in his ears.
Opposite Wen Chou was Gao Lan, who was also not sleeping. However, Gao Lan was different from Wen Chou with bright eyes. He yawned continuously and looked sleepy.
"I said Brother Chou, please spare me. I'm really sleepy and can't bear it anymore. How about I sleep here for a while? Just for a while. We'll continue marching after dawn."
Wen Chou snorted coldly: "No, if you give me inappropriate ideas today, you won't be able to sleep."
"Brother Chou, you want to compete with the lord, but you don't want the lord to be angry with you. Don't ask me for such an idea. Even if you go to Mr. Zhicai or Mr. Fengxiao, it's impossible to give you advice.
Don't think about it. From now on, we will follow the lord to conquer the world, and there will be opponents to choose from. Just give up on this Xu Huang and Xu Gongming and let the lord do what you want. Ah! Please, Brother Chou, you
Just let me sleep for a while, if I don’t sleep, I feel like my head is going to explode!”
When Wen Chou's stubborn temperament flared up, Chun Pai became a stubborn donkey.
This guy took out the waist knife placed on the desk with a clang and took it out of its sheath. In a blink of an eye, he turned his wrist and placed it on Gao Lan's neck.
"No, if you can't come up with a good idea, don't even think about sleeping anymore today. You will almost arrive at Qiaomen County tomorrow, and at most you may meet Xu Huang the day after tomorrow. If you can't come up with a good idea, such a good opponent will really
It will be snatched away by the lord."
Gao Lan wailed and closed his eyes, straightened his neck and shouted: "Brother Chou, either you kill me or let me sleep. Anyway, I'm not going to open my eyes before dawn. It's up to you what to do."
.”
Before Wen Chou could continue his mischief, the curtain door of the big tent was opened, and Lin Feng actually got in with a smile.
"Hey, what song are you two planning to sing?"
Gao Lan turned around and saw Lin Feng, and immediately jumped up from the soft couch, and fell at Lin Feng's feet as if he was seeing a great savior.
"Hey, my lord, why are you here? Please help me quickly. Brother Chou is trying to drive me crazy!"
