Chapter 148
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly approached Wang Yun and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?" Wang Yun was also an extremely smart and steady person. But he had suffered grievances from Dong Zhuo for several years. He smiled when he saw anyone and had to be careful with everyone. But last night he was flattered by Xiahou Yuan for a long time. Wang Yun really regarded Xiahou Yuan as his own person. Moreover, Wang Yun had a good plan. When he saved the emperor, he would definitely not be able to escape the credit for saving the emperor.
.No one can compare to the closeness of himself and the emperor. This official position must be promoted. But after all, he cannot compare with Xun Shuang. Huangfu Song and others have been operating in Luoyang for many years and have real power. If he doesn't want to be a famous and unpowered official, then attracting some powerful figures who are close to him is the most important thing at the moment. Therefore, Wang Yun particularly wooed Xiahou Yuan and told Xiahou Yuan about the matter in between.
It turned out that this person was Yang Feng! However, Yang Feng was not very moral, but he was not very popular with Dong Zhuo. The last time Dong Zhuo retreated from Luoyang, Yang Feng's performance was very poor! It made Dong Zhuo very angry and removed him from his official position! This became Wang Yun's opportunity and target. Wang Yun specially gave favors and said a lot of good things to Yang Feng in front of Dong Zhuo. After all, Yang Feng was still Dong Zhuo's old subordinate, and his martial arts skills were good. Dong Zhuo's army expanded too quickly, and it was the time to use people. In addition, Wang Yun made a clear statement, so Dong Zhuo re-activated him and let him take charge of a lot of troops. Later, Wang Yun launched a big money offensive, which corrupted Yang Feng.
This time, the Xiliang army attacked Bingzhou, and Yang Feng was one of the generals left by Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun was so excited that if the Xiliang army could not defeat Liu Bin this expedition, there was no need to say anything, and would definitely be pursued by Liu Bin and defeated. Even if Dong Zhuo defeated Liu Bin, with Liu Bin's strength, Dong Xiliang army would definitely be greatly damaged. If other loyal and righteous men from the Xiaozhong court came to attack Dong Zhuo again, Dong Zhuo would definitely be overwhelmed and would inevitably get rid of the disaster of destruction. Therefore, the Xiliang army's expedition was doomed to the destruction of Dong Zhuo. If you want to avoid being implicated by Dong Zhuo, you should make plans early. Only by rescued the emperor first can you eliminate disasters and get rewarded from the court. High officials and generous salaries, wealth and honor can also be left in history and passed down for generations.
Although Yang Feng's martial arts skills are pretty good, he is not a visionary person. After Wang Yun said this, he couldn't help but be moved. He joined forces with Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo and then escaped from Chang'an together! On the way, Yang Feng's identity was also absent from the inconvenient news transmission, and the news of the emperor's escape had not yet been heard. Meng and deceived him through many levels. Especially after Lu Bu and them were separated, these escape teams relied on Yang Feng! It was not until the last martial arts pass that they were caught up by Cui Yong's troops. Fortunately, Yang Feng led his guards to fight to the death, and then dragged to Xiahou Yuan's rescue.
However, although Yang Feng was very capable, Wang Yun still hated Yang Feng's background for Dong Zhuo, and at the same time he hated Yang Feng's greed for money. He believed that Yang Feng's character was not good, and he did not really contribute to the court. Therefore, although Wang Yun was particularly good with Yang Feng on the surface, he was extremely disgusted in his heart. He talked all the way, and the convoy was also slowly walking. The speed of the march at this time was far less than that of Xiahou Yuan when he came. Xiahou Yuan was burning with his heart, but he had no choice. At this speed, the emperor's carriage could not beat or scold him. What can he do?
At this time, it was noon again. The emperor stopped the car and had dinner as usual. Poor Xiahou Yuan had not prepared much military ration in order to march quickly. In order to be able to go back at this speed, he could only ask the soldiers to halve the meal. However, the emperor had to take good care of the meal, so as not to spread a bad reputation and destroy Cao Cao's plan. He could only let the soldiers go nearby to get some wild animals for the emperor. Unfortunately, now on the ground of Sili, there are thousands of miles of barks, even the bark of rats and trees have been eaten up by the victims. In addition to starving to death, the victims also ran away. Where can they find living things? This made the soldiers complain.
However, today, there was no chance for these soldiers to complain. Just as the soldiers were making fire, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from afar. Xiahou Yuan's reaction was fast and he immediately asked the soldiers to prepare for the fight. Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry was really worthy of being an elite unit. Xiahou Yuan gave the order, although he was in a hurry, he was still ready. Unfortunately, this cavalry of unknown origin came too quickly. Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry had just gotten on the horse ready. They came close with the dust in the sky. Moreover, this unknown unit had no professional ethics, no call or registration etiquette. Moreover, they did not even mean the speed of descending, so they rushed away from Xiahou Yuan's queue.
However, it seems that it cannot be said that this unknown unit does not understand etiquette. At least they have left gifts in their busy schedules. It’s just that Xiahou Yuan doesn’t like it very much. The rain of arrows that emerged from the dust in the sky caused Xiahou Yuan’s troops to fall a lot. It seems that he wouldn’t like anyone who puts this on him. Xiahou Yuan scolded him. Which unit is so unethical? He ran away after fighting. It’s really not a thing. However, although Xiahou Yuan was angry, he had no choice but to run away. He could not catch up. Xiahou Yuan could only order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance.
However, just as Xiahou Yuan had just given this order, the troops that had gone far away came back. Xiahou Yuan saw that he could not miss it. He quickly ordered his tiger and leopard cavalry to fight. It was hateful that Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry went up, but the troops turned around and ran away. It was not suitable for Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry to fight. Xiahou Yuan was concerned about the safety of the emperor and did not dare to pursue him, so he could only order to return to defense. However, Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry retreated, and the troops came back shamelessly.
In this few times, this unidentified cavalry team was entangled with Xiahou Yuan's tiger and leopard cavalry. What was particularly hateful is that the unknown cavalry's archery skills were very good. They were all sharpshooters, and the bows and arrows they used were obviously much better than those of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Their range was much longer than that of the tiger and leopard cavalry. This caused Xiahou Yuan's men to suffer a great loss. If it weren't for each of the tiger and leopard cavalry, each of them had a standard crossbow arrow from the Han army, the tiger and leopard cavalry would have suffered even more. Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he screamed. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "People leave their names, and geese leave their voices. Who are the rats, don't you dare to sign up for a name?"
Xiahou Yuan's actions were so angry that he naturally reacted. With the style of the troops in front of him, Xiahou Yuan was not prepared for the other party to respond to him. But unexpectedly, just after Xiahou Yuan shouted, there was really someone in the opposite army answering. But the troops on the opposite side shouted Yili. Xiahou Yuan didn't understand. Xiahou Yuan was stunned. Which country was talking about? What does it mean? Just when Xiahou Yuan was puzzled, Yang Feng came to Xiahou Yuan in panic and said, "It's bad. They are the soldiers of the Xiongnu. They must have helped Dong Zhuo's remnants chase the emperor. We are dead this time."
Yang Feng's words shocked Xiahou Yuan: Why did the Huns' soldiers come to the mainland? Xiahou Yuan quickly asked, "Are you sure? How did you know?" "What they called the Huns just now. I have lived in Xiliang for a long time, so I am naturally familiar with their words. I can't make any mistakes. They were just telling us that their Shanyu asked them to take guests to their places. What are they who helped Dong Zhuo steal the emperor?" Yang Feng said in dismay.
So, they really got the Huns' soldiers. Judging from their dress and appearance, they looked similar. But how could the Huns' bows and arrows shoot so far? For a long time, the Huns' cavalry were strong, while the Central Plains' bows and arrows were invincible. Now that they even have such a powerful bow and arrow, wouldn't it be that the Central Plains' disaster? Are they really got the Huns' soldiers? Knead! No matter whether they are the Huns' soldiers or horses, or how to get rid of them. If this continues, their own team will really have to be left here. Xiahou Yuan thought hard and planned how to get rid of the current dilemma.
To be honest, it is not Xiahou Yuan’s fault that the army in front of him was really not the soldiers of the Xiongnu. But the Youzhou cavalry led by Zang Ba. Speaking of which, Zang Ba was also pitiful. Although Zang Ba was not very famous, he was indeed the number one general under Liu Bin! The military commander of the Central Army, the head of the five major field troops in Youzhou! It is really a loss of identity when doing such a thing now! However, Zang Ba was loyal to Liu Bin and even did horse thieves, let alone this time! He received the order from Guo Jia,
The one who set out earlier than Xiahou Yuan. The troops advanced faster than Xiahou Yuan's troops. However, Zang Ba was too far away from Bingzhou. Zang Ba ran desperately and still landed behind Xiahou Yuan. Fortunately, Zang Ba received the secret order to welcome the sage to Youzhou openly, but secretly wanted to find an opportunity to create an accident so that the sage can return to heaven safely. Therefore, Zang Ba learned that the emperor's convoy was received by Xiahou Yuan. He simply pretended to be the Huns' troops and horses to block the sage.
Although this matter is a bit difficult, Zang Ba was preparing to assassinate the king when he came out. Although he was afraid of revealing his identity, he did not bring any of the special equipment of the Youzhou cavalry. However, he carried more bows and arrows. Moreover, the soldiers and horses brought out by Zang Ba this time were not only soldiers of the nations outside the border. Moreover, what Zang Ba claimed to them was only a special task. Zang Ba strictly ordered these soldiers not to promote them or not to reveal the news. These cavalrymen had experience as horse thieves, so of course they would not say much about this.
