The sound of horse hooves from the army in the middle of the Beimang line had already appeared in the area south of Hutou City, and went straight to Huaiyang Pass and Fuling Liuya towns. The horse lance of Murong Baoding's troops was even far away as Chongzhong Jun Town. After the white horse crossbowmen in Liangzhou entered Liuzhou, these Beimang scouts, who were far inferior to the crow lance, were wandering around in a random way.

The two generals in charge of the Beimang Central Army were Dong Zhuo and Murong Baoding, the Orange Prefecture, who did not participate in the first Liangmang Battle. For some reason, Murong Baoding's troops, who were originally responsible for the attack on Huaiyang Pass, temporarily swept the two towns of Fuling and Liuya. Dong Zhuo personally led his army to Huaiyang Pass, where the Beiliang Protectorate was located. Although there was suspicion of being intentional, there was no objection to the two temples of Beimang Royal Court and Xijing. The reason was very simple. First, Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law suddenly died in the Longyan Plain. No one wanted to compete with the vengeful fat man Dong at this pass. Second, Huaiyang Pass is the only place outside Beiliang Pass that is famous for its dangerous and pass. It is a well-deserved natural barrier. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although Murong Baoding's direct subordinates had 20,000 infantry troops, this royal relative obviously had no confidence to use 20,000 troops to capture Huaiyang Pass, which had no less than 30,000 troops in the Northern Liang border. Once he used his first-class elite cavalry of Beimang to attack the city, not to mention whether this behavior was a waste of resources, he would just say that Murong Baoding would not feel sorry for this? This Yin Lei Jing Cavalry with only 30,000 people had good armor, excellent war horses, and high combat power. He had always looked down on the borders of the Southern Dynasty.

When Emperor Beimang personally presided over the Xijing meeting and decided to let Murong Baoding's troops attack Huaiyang Pass. Orange State, which had the same surname as the old woman, almost got angry on the spot. Later, Hong Jingyan and Dong Zhuo's brother-in-law Yelu Chucai died at the same time in the scout battle in the north of Hutou City. The Rouran Iron Cavalry suddenly had no leader, and Murong Baoding was able to absorb a total of 30,000 Rouran Cavalry, and then he let it go. There was no lack of compensation from Emperor Beimang. Otherwise, Murong Baoding would want to compete with Dong Zhuo, who is recognized as loving to eat alone, in Baoping State, which holds the festival in Baoping State, which has a deep foundation in Beiting. If you have to fight with so many grasslands with big fat eyes that fell from the sky, and the beads are red, even if Murong Baoding can get a piece of the pie, at most it will be able to endure the four or five thousand riders. So when Murong Baoding took advantage of the sky, Fatty Dong actually asked to attack Huaiyang Pass. This made the entire grassland envious of the luck of the Orange State to hold the season. It was like sleeping in the number one courtesan in the world. After pulling the bird, he felt sorry for spending money on wine. As a result, someone foolishly came up to help put on his pants and said that the account had been settled.

The youngest general of Beimang, Dong Zhuo, and the guardian of Beiliang, Chu Lushan, were also called "Northern Chu". The grievances of these two people were not only famous, but also known in the Central Plains officialdom.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo, a military genius, the Xu family cavalry might have already broken through the grassland Beiting, and the already precarious empress usurped the throne and became a prisoner of the Zhaoshi in Liyang. Dong Zhuo's only defeat was due to Chu Lushan's gift. Chu Lushan's eight thousand yelling Luohe Iron Cavalry shined in that killing battle. Previously, both sides rushed for 400 miles. Dong Zhuo's cavalry had completely escaped from the Liyang cavalry encirclement, but was still bitten by Chu Lushan who attacked without authorization. In the end, he bumped into it, with heavy casualties and injuries. Both sides could not say that they were defeated, but Dong Zhuo was severely injured and was stabbed by Chu Lushan with a shot.

There have been rumors in the Central Plains that Chu Lushan said a word to the young General Beimang who was rushed to rescue. It was this sentence that made the Beiliang Iron Cavalry criticized. "There are only two types of cavalry in the world, not your grassland cavalry and the Central Plains cavalry, but our Xu family Iron Cavalry and all other cavalry!"

On Longyaner Plain, Yelu Chucai, who was the first to be the leader of the crow clan, died in battle.

A Beimang general with an extremely strong figure but no bloated feeling squatted down, his upper and lower teeth were gently tapping each other, and he narrowed his eyes and looked to the south.

Beside him was a little girl crying loudly. The snow-white squid horse was circling around the girl at a loss, touching the little master from time to time with the horse's head.

Two young women in white stood with swords, with a beautiful face and a cold temperament. The other graceful woman held the ashes in her hand, grabbed them one by one, and fell into the world one by one.

They are the only daughter of the fifth raccoon mountain in Tibingshan, the fifth fox, and Yelu Chucai's sister, and Princess Beimang with golden branches and jade leaves.

The fifth raccoon died at the hands of King Xinliang, and Yelu Chucai died at the battlefield outside Liangzhou Pass that the young vassal king once visited. They are all directly related to the young vassal king named Xu.

The little girl named Tao Manwu, although not old, now looks like a tender willow strip, and the beauty can be vaguely seen. Her father was Tao Qianzhi. After leaving the border army of Gusai Prefecture, he went to Longyaozhou to stay in the city as a city herd, and died suddenly on a Qingming Festival with yellow paper floating in the Qingming Festival a few years ago.

Tao Qianzhi and Dong Zhuo are the robes of border soldiers that can be exchanged for life and death, especially when they first joined the army, their friendship is naturally stronger. Therefore, after Tao Qianzhi's death, Tao Manwu became the heart of Dong Zhuo, who is famous for his cold-blooded and iron fist. This fat man even told his two wives directly that even if he had a son and a daughter in the future, he would never be as close to them as Xiao Manwu.

Tao Manwu was celebrating the uncle who always liked to pick him up and then stab her on the cheek with a beard. He joked to the young elder who liked to marry her as a young wife when she grew up. Although she always rolled her eyes at him at that time, she always liked him very much, just like because she was the closest relative in the world, she didn't have to be polite about what she did and said.

Tao Manwu watched the aunt named Yelu splash ashes with his own eyes, and his eyes were swollen and he couldn't cry. He had to cover his mouth with both hands, fearing that he would have no end to cry, which made his already sad uncle and aunt even more upset.

It seemed that she realized that the girl's crying was getting less. The fat man wearing iron armor and covered with white silk turned his head and saw Xiao Manwu's pitiful appearance. After seeing her slender hands gently pulled away, she said hoarsely: "It's okay, cry if you want to cry. Women in the world are hard to say about other things. They can still cry if they want to cry."

This general, who is not inferior to the military god Tuoba Bodhisattva, even if he is squatting, can look at the little girl in a magnificent man who has been promoted to the King of the South Court for just twenty years of military career, would show such a gentle look.

After scattering an jar of ashes, the princess of Beimang raised her arms high and threw the urn into the distance, allowing the simple pottery altar from the hands of the Central Plains to shatter.

The fifth fox's eyelids trembled quietly.

Princess Beimang turned his head and looked at his man, and said in a low tone: "Qiu, as Yelu Chucai's brother-in-law, you are the first person in the southern expedition of my Damang Dynasty, and you will definitely be repaid."

The fifth fox frowned, but didn't say anything.

Dong Zhuo rubbed Tao Manwu's head and said in a deep voice: "Of course! When I married you, I promised you that as long as my brother-in-law did not become the fourth general of the Southern Dynasty, he would definitely not die in the battlefield. It was me, Dong Zhuo, who had broken the trust, and brothers settled the accounts clearly, and the same was true between husband and wife. This hatred will be avenged from Huaiyang Pass! I will settle each transaction with the person named Xu."

She turned north to look at her distant hometown and whispered: "But, Dong Zhuo, you, as my husband, cannot die."

Dong Zhuo grinned, supported his hands on his knees, and slowly stood up, "The Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is known as the best in the world, but it is really not easy to die."

She smiled miserably and murmured: "You have already broken your trust once, don't have a second time. At that time, even if I want to find someone to scold me, who can I find?"

The power of her family in the grassland royal court was intertwined. The reason why Dong Zhuo was able to disrupt the deployment of the Liyang Northern Expedition Army was that the elite cavalry under her command was one of the dowry she married this man. Over the years, Dong Zhuo rose to prominence in the Southern Dynasty temple, and made a concerted effort until she reached the top, which was even more inconvenient to the fuel. The combat power of the Dong family's infantry and cavalry armies was both well-deserved by the Northern Mang and Southern Dynasty. There were nearly 150,000 private troops. How could Dong Zhuo afford it? Especially in the early days, it was still up to the point of relying on the

Her dowry supports her. On the other hand, her younger brother Yelu Chucai, as the eldest grandson, was a foregone conclusion for the future. After leaving the tent of the teenagers of Yelu Murong, who both the young children of Yelu Murong had to participate in, he insisted on entering the brother-in-law's army, nor started as an ordinary leader. As a result, he joined the army for twenty years. He died, but was only a general with a military power between the commander of thousands and the commander of ten thousand men. He was neither up nor down. If it were any Southern Dynasty border army, who would dare to hide and suppress Yelu Chucai so ignorantly?

She hesitated for a moment, and said to herself with a sad face: "After experiencing the Hulukou Battle, you ordered him to lead the cavalry to aid Yang Yuanzan. I was very worried about this stubborn safety, so I successfully convinced my father, who was equally worried, to make efforts to let him enter one of the two kingly cavalry and serve as the chief general of the Yelu Chong Cavalry. However, in the end, the operation of his father had already become obvious. Yelu Chucai, the bastard, refused to agree, saying that if he forced him to move him away from his brother-in-law, he would run away from home, take off his armor, and ride one by one to the Central Plains River and Lake."

Dong Zhuo clenched his fists with both hands, "I only know about this now."

Dong Zhuo looked into the distance, "But if I had known it for a long time, and if Yelu Chucai agreed to you, I would definitely not stop him, but if he was unwilling to leave, I would not persuade him."

Dong Zhuo continued: "My Dong family army's son is the most intimidating 100-year-old man in the whole grassland. No one is worried about his future. As long as he wants to move, he will be promoted at least one level. But after so many years, after only one big battle after another, outsiders sharpened their heads and entered our Dong family army, and were proud of being a soldier in the Dong family. No one has ever left and chose to leave this army..."

Dong Zhuo suddenly smiled and changed his words: "I was wrong. Actually, there are, and there are many! Just like my brother-in-law, I died in battle."

The Dong family man's son will be killed and speared, and the horse will die on his back. Don't cry and be heartbroken, and the children at home will become Dong family man!

She suddenly walked towards him and hit his chest hard. In the end, Dong Zhuo, who was thick in skin and iron armor, had no feeling, and her fists were instantly red and swollen.

After that, she did not cry or make a fuss, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Don't die in Huaiyang Pass, don't die in Jibei City. If you really want to die, you will die on the coast of the South China Sea, the farthest from the grassland, so that I can't see it and not be upset."

Dong Zhuo grinned, "Okay!"

She turned and left, "I'm going back to Beiting now, don't send it."

Perhaps like the little girl Tao Manwu, this resolute woman who once threatened to "I just hate that she is not a man, otherwise she must be a marquis of Wanhu" at such a word. The princess of Beimang, who made the Empress Beimang laugh and said three good words, also did not dare to cry in front of her.

When she walked away alone, the Fifth Fox said worriedly: "Why do you want to bite Huaiyangguan, a hard bone without any flesh? Wouldn't it be good to leave it for Murong Baoding to get a headache?"

Dong Zhuo laughed at himself: "There is always someone to fight hard. If our Emperor Majesty's remaining family background wants to make a difference in the Central Plains, he cannot fight the first battle like the Liangmang War. The grassland boy is not a water plant that grows again every spring, and has been cut one after another. Now all the grasslands are damaged by their vitality. Once Beiting is more promising, it may be internal conflict. Such a big mess can't be remedied. Dong Zhuo will suffer from the suffering at that time. If the Beiliang border army is in vain, it will be his unparalleled achievements."

Dong Zhuo looked south. It was the Hutou City that he had personally captured and destroyed. Further south, it was Huaiyang Pass, which was in a natural and well-placed place. It was ridiculous. The million troops on the grassland fought against Beiliang for twenty years. When the old man was alive, the border troops of the Southern Dynasty even saw Hutou City for a few times. It was not until after the death of the man slaughtered Xu Xiao that Dong Zhuo finally had great power. Beimang's horse hooves stepped on the ground to the south, but they only advanced a little. But now, the 10,000 light cavalry of the Yuluan Knife tribe of Beiliang entered the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty after the early years of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and regarded the fortress of Gusai Prefecture as nothing.

Dong Zhuo pointed his hand to the south and said to the young wife: "In the Protectorate Mansion in Huaiyang Pass, there was a fat man who was fatter than me. It is said that the Liyang court has always claimed that the battle between me and Fatty Chu was over. The adopted son said that the ruthless and bold words were said, saying that it was the cavalry in the world, and only the Xu family's iron cavalry and all other cavalrymen. In fact, the truth is not like this, but the Beiliang border army was so arrogant that he happily accepted the splash of dirty water from the civil servant Liyang, and instead regarded it as praise."

Dong Zhuo did not retract his arm and pointed to the south. His smile was gloomy and said slowly: "Chu Lushan did say something at that time. I remember that guy was sitting on the back of a horse, pointing at me with the tip of an iron gun, and laughed, "I heard that your boy is Dong Zhuo? My adoptive father was not good at all for some concerns, so Chen Zhibao and Yuan Zuozong were too lazy to play with you. I, Chu Lushan, was so idle that I came over to fight with you. Otherwise, with your ability, plus the scattered soldiers and horses on hand...'"

Dong Zhuo has no words for a long time.

The fifth fox asked curiously: "What's the following?"

Dong Zhuo withdrew his hand and said angrily: "Then I, who was seriously injured, fainted."

It seemed that he felt a little embarrassed, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and made a face at the little girl Tao Manwu.

The little girl with tears on her face clenched Dong Zhuo's wrist hard, but she was not amused, but she was even more and more excited.

The little girl raised her head and choked and said, "Uncle Dong, don't die!"

In the mind of this child with a rough life, he is like a broom star in the market, always killing the people he is closest to, from his father Tao Qianzhi to Yelu Chucai, who is next?

So she was very scared.

Dong Zhuo squatted down and stretched out his big hand that was used to touching the knife and killing people, and was covered with calluses, helping the little girl wipe her tears, "Xiao Manwu, don't cry, a bad person like Uncle Dong has the longest life, and the King of Hell is not happy to accept it."

When the little girl heard this, she burst into tears.

Because in her mind, except for her father, Uncle Dong has always been the second best person in the world.

And the guy she once regarded as the best is now able to quietly be downgraded to second.

Dong Zhuo didn't know how to persuade him, so he asked her to ride on his shoulders, stood up and looked to the south together. Dong Zhuo whispered: "Don't worry, Uncle Dong will take you to see him for the last time."

Tao Manwu put his little head on Dong Zhuo's big head.

Dong Zhuo asked softly: "Xiao Manwu, why is that song humming? Uncle Dong can't remember the lyrics. Your uncle used to sing in front of me, and it was so sang to him that it was so ugly. Xiao Manwu, why would you teach him one last time?"

The little girl nodded heavily, but she cried too much, so she didn't speak immediately.

Dong Zhuo was not in a hurry, and for no reason to remember a passage of scripture. The murderous general of Beimang clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said devoutly: "You take refuge in the Buddha, and do not suffer all the sufferings of reincarnation. You take refuge in the Dharma, and you will enjoy blessings from the ten directions and three generations. You take refuge in the Sangha, and you will not fall into the evil paths..."

At the same time, Tao Manwu's still tender voice also sounded lightly above Dong Zhuo's head.

The grass is born next year, and the geese are gone and back again. The spring breeze blows this year, will the young master return? The bluestone slab and grass are green, and the green-clothed man on the bluestone bridge humming the tune of Jinling.

Whose daughter smiles?

The yellow leaves fall this year, year after year. The autumn wind starts next year, will your wife be there? The yellow flowers are yellow in the Yellow River, and the yellow flowers in the Yellow River city are rushing at the yellow butterfly.

Whose knives are on the sheath?

———

The sword is still in the sheath.

The young master has no return.

This is true for many living people on both Liangmang.

However, in the eyes of the Central Plains, the three vassal kings jointly rebelled, and their war seemed to have come for no reason. It was just that the dead people there died for granted by the Beiliang barbarians and the Beimang barbarians.

On the yellow sand land of Longyan'er Plain, the fat man who was still carrying Xiao Manwu on his back put down his originally clasped hands and said in a deep voice: "Chu Lushan, since you are determined to die, I will accept your three hundred kilograms of meat with ease!"

———

Huaiyang Pass, which controls the main road to the south, is divided into inner and outer cities, built on the mountain, and the overall terrain increases southward. Especially the inner city is built on the cliff, and the city walls are all made of stones. Beiliang devoted his efforts to build Hutou City, the first heroic city outside the Northwest Pass. Most of the stones used were taken from Canglang Mountain in Lingzhou. Later, it was discovered that there were still three or four huge stones left, so he moved all south to Huaiyang Pass, which was far from reaching its current scale at that time. After more than ten years of continuous reinforcement and accumulation, a large amount of equipment and food was stored. As long as the outer city is not lost, the water source is worry-free. In addition to losing to Hutou City in strategic significance, Huaiyang Pass is actually more difficult to break than the first Liyang border city before the construction of Jubei City.

Therefore, when Chu Lushan insisted on setting up the Protectorate's Mansion in Huaiyang Pass far away from Liangzhou City, Xu Fengnian did not object to it.

However, after the fragmented Hutou City lost its defensive significance, Xu Fengnian and Qingliangshan both asked Chu Lushan to retreat to Jubei City, but Chu Lushan still insisted on guarding the front line of Huaiyang Pass.

It is hard to imagine that this man who had more than a thousand cavalry to open Sichuan, and the powerful general who led 8,000 cavalry of the Luohe River. After taking root in Beiliang, he has always had a low official position without any complaints. He is devoted to living a wasteful life of luxury and wealth. He claims to be a fantasy wine, beautiful women, gorgeous clothes, Malaysia, famous posts, strange flowers, and good travel.

After becoming the arch-guardian of Northern Liang, he transformed himself into a transformation and could not move at all outside the barren and desolate pass.

Perhaps after the death of the old man Tu Xu Xiao, no one in the world can truly see through this fat man who is traitorous and evil.

On the tower of the inner city of Huaiyang Pass, a fat man, as bloated as a hill, held his hands on the bush of arrows, silent.

There are enemies all over the world, but no one is close friends.

He rubbed his neck and said with a smile: "What a big head."
