Chapter 392 Great head

The hoofbeats of the North Mang centerline army have appeared in the area south of Hutou City, straight to the front line of Huaiyang Pass and Poria Willow Buds towns, Murong Baoding’s department of horse fences are as far away as Heavy Mound military towns, and after the Liangzhou White Horse Traveling Crossbowmen transferred to Liushu State, these North Mang scouts far inferior to the Crow Fences wandered around wantonly.

The two generals in charge of the North Mang center army were Dong Zhuo and Muyong Baoding, the Orange Prefecture’s festival organizer, who did not participate in the first Liang-Mang battle. I do not know why, originally tasked with attacking the Huaiyang Pass Murong Baoding Department, temporarily turned to besiege the Poria willow buds two towns, Dong Zhuo personally led the army to go to the North Liang capital of Huaiyang Pass, although there is a suspicion of intent, but the North Mang royal court and the two temples of the Western Capital did not have any objections, the reason is very simple, for one thing, Dong Zhuo’s brother-in-law died suddenly in battle in the Dragon’s Eye plains, no one wants to be with the Jairus Dong in the juncture, the fat man, two, the Yangtang, the fat man, the fat man. The second reason is that Huaiyang Pass is the only place outside of Beiliang Pass that is known for its dangerous passes, and it is a well-deserved pass of heavenly danger, which is easy to defend and extremely difficult to attack.

Murong Baoding under the command of the direct line although there are 20,000 foot army, but the royal relatives obviously do not have confidence in the use of 20,000 people, on the attack on the garrison no less than 30,000 Beiliang border army Huaiyang Pass, once he used his North Mang first-class fine horsemen to attack the city, not to mention this behavior is not a waste, just say Murong Baoding can not heartache? This number of only 30,000 winter thunder elite cavalry, its armor is good, the war horse is excellent, high combat effectiveness, has always been proud of the southern border.

When the North Mang Emperor personally presided over the West Beijing deliberations, decided to let Murong Bao Ding Department attack Huai Yang Pass, and the old woman with the same last name as the Orange State hold the order almost to be angry on the spot, and then Hong Jing Yan and Dong Zhuo’s brother-in-law Yelu Chu material died at the same time that the battle of the scouts north of the tiger’s head, Zojiran iron horsemen all of a sudden group of dragons without a head, Murong Bao Ding was able to absorb a full 30,000 Zojiran cavalry army, which only a little bit relieved, which did not have the North Mang The emperor’s compensation meaning, otherwise Murong Baoding want to recognized like to eat alone Dong Zhuo, in the northern court of the deep-rooted treasure bottle state holding the order of Wang Yong scramble, but also with so many staring at the Zoran Iron Horsemen so a big piece of fat meat from the sky down the eye, beads have been red grassland Da Xie tick arm wrestling, Murong Baoding even if you can share a piece of the pie, at most is to hold up to four or five thousand riders will be in the bag. So when Murong Baoding took advantage of the sky, Dong Fatty even took the initiative to ask to attack Huaiyang Pass, which makes the whole grassland are envious of the orange state holding the order of the luck of the dog, it is simply to sleep under the sky the number one flower girl, pulling the bird after the pain of spending money on wine, the result is that some people stupidly come up to help bring up the pants, but also said that the account has been closed.

North Mang’s youngest general, Dong Zhuo and North Liang Du Guan Chu Lushan, known as “North Dong South Chu”, the grudge of these two people, not only is the name of Liang Mang, even the Central Plains have heard of the officialdom.

If not for Dong Zhuo’s genius in military tactics, the Xu family’s cavalry might have broken through the northern court of the steppe, making the already precarious usurper empress a prisoner of the Zhao family in Liyang. Dong Zhuo’s only defeat, it is worship Chu Lushan, Chu Lushan’s eight thousand trailing river iron horsemen, it is also in that intercepted the war in the shine, the previous two sides each ran four hundred miles, Dong Zhuo Department of the cavalry has been completely detached from the Liyang cavalry surrounded by the circle, is still unauthorized attack Chu Lushan dead bite, and ultimately a head-on collision, the deaths and injuries, the two sides talk about the winners and losers, just Dong Zhuo was seriously injured, had been Chu Lushan a shot stabbed Fell off the horse.

The Central Plains has been rumored that Chu Lushan at that time to be hastily rescued by the young North Mang general put down a sentence, it is also this sentence let the North Liang Iron Cavalry criticized, “the world’s cavalry is only divided into two kinds of, not your grassland cavalry and the Central Plains Cavalry, but our Xu family Iron Cavalry and all the other cavalry!”

Dragon’s Eye Plains, the place where Yelu Chu Cai, who was the temporary Crow’s Fence general, died in battle.

An unusually strong but not bloated feeling Northern Mang military general crouched down, his upper and lower teeth gently and habitually tapping against each other as he squinted his eyes towards the south.

Beside him stood a crying little girl, and the snow-white Divine Handsome Colt circled around the girl at a loss for words, occasionally touching its little master with its head.

Two young women clad in onyx, one stood with a sword, with a stunningly beautiful face and a cool temperament. The other woman with a graceful temperament held ashes in her hands, grabbing them by the handful and sprinkling them between heaven and earth.

They are the only daughter of the fifth raccoon of the North Mang Tibing Mountain, the fifth fox, and the sister of Yelu Chu Cai, the golden branch of the North Mang County Lord.

The fifth raccoon died in the hands of the new Liang King, and Yelu Chu Cai died in the battlefield outside the Liangzhou Pass, where the young feudal lord had once traveled. All have a direct relationship with the young feudal king surnamed Xu.

Named Tao Manwu little girl, although not very old, now the body is like a tender willow, vaguely beautiful embryo, and her father is called Tao Qianzhi, quit the Gusei state border army after going to the dragon waist state to leave the city as a city pastor, died a few years ago in a yellow paper fluttering Qingming Festival.

Tao Qianzhi and Dong Zhuo is the exchange of life and death of the border army robes, especially the two are the first into the army when the robes, the friendship is naturally heavier, so in Tao Qianzhi death, Tao Manwu became the cold-blooded iron fist reputation of the South Dong Zhuo’s heart, the fat man even bluntly told his two daughters-in-law, even if there is a son of his own daughter-in-law, he will never be so close to them as to the little Manwu.

Tao Manwu to that always like to pick up their own after taking the beard to stab her cheeks of the little uncle, to that favorite joke that when she grows up will definitely want to marry her as a young daughter-in-law of the elders, although she was always eyeing him, but in the bottom of her heart has always been very fond of, as if because it is the world’s closest relatives, so what to do and say, do not have to be polite.

Tao Manwu watched the elder aunt surnamed Yelu splash ashes, crying eyes red and swollen, sobbing uncontrollably, had to use both hands to cover his mouth, for fear that he would not have an end to the crying, so that already very sad aunt and uncle even more annoyed.

Seems to be aware of the girl’s crying is small, clad in iron armor covered with onyx fat man turned his head, after seeing the pitiful appearance of the small full of martial arts, action gently pull away her slender hands, voice hoarse said: “nothing, want to cry cry, under the sky of the woman, other things are not good to say, want to cry or always can cry.”

This famous military general in Beimang not inferior to the military god Tuoba Bodhisattva, even squatting, also able to level with the little girl, it is hard to imagine that this majestic man who had just twenty years of military career to be the king of the southern courtyard, will show such a gentle look.

That Northern Mang County Lord finished scattering a jar of ashes, raised her arm high, and casually threw out the urn into the distance, letting the simple earthenware altar from the hands of the Central Plains relics shatter with a thud.

The Fifth Fox’s eyelids trembled quietly.

The Northern Mang County Lord turned her head to look at her man and said in an indifferent tone, “Vengeance, as Yelu Chu Cai’s brother-in-law, and as the first person to go on a southern expedition for my Damang Dynasty, you definitely have to avenge it.”

Fifth Fox frowned, but did not speak.

Dong Zhuo rubbed Tao Manwu’s head and said in a deep voice, “This is of course! When I married you back then, I promised you that as long as this brother-in-law of mine didn’t become the fourth great general of the Southern Dynasty, he would definitely not die in battle, it is me, Dong Zhuo, who has broken his promise before, and as blood brothers settle their accounts, so do husbands and wives, and this vengeance will be avenged starting from Huaiyang Pass! I’ll settle it with that surname Xu one by one.”

She turned her head northward to look at her distant hometown and softly said, “However, Dong Zhuo, you as my husband, one cannot die.”

Dong Zhuo grinned, propped his hands on his knees and slowly stood up, “The Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is known to be the best in the world, but it’s not easy for me to die.”

She smiled miserably and murmured, “You have already broken your trust once, don’t ever do it a second time. At that time, even if I want to find someone to scold, who can I find?”

Her family’s forces were intertwined on the side of the Grassland Court, and the reason why Dong Zhuo was able to disrupt the deployment of Liyang’s northern expeditionary army, the elite cavalry under his command at that time, was one of the dowries that she had given to marry this man, and over the years, Dong Zhuo’s rise to the top of the southern dynasty’s temples was not without the push and pull of her family. The Dong family’s foot and cavalry armies were the first in the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty, and with a private army of nearly 150,000 men, how could Dong Zhuo afford to keep them? How could Dong Zhuo afford it? Especially in the early days, he relied on her dowry to support him. On the contrary, her younger brother, Yelu Chu Cai, as the first eldest grandson, the nail in the future pillar, leaving Yelu Murong two surnames of young children must participate in the king’s tent after the cowardly Xuewei, had to enter the brother-in-law’s army, but also had to start from an ordinary shishei, and the results of the army small twenty years, to the death of the generals than the military power between the captain of a thousand and a ten thousand captains, not to be replaced by any one of the South Dynasty border army, who dares to Who dares to hide and suppress Yelu Chu Cai in such a way that he doesn’t know what to do?

She hesitated for a while, and said to herself with a miserable face: “After that Hulukou battle, he was ordered by you to lead the cavalry to support Yang Yuanzan, I was very worried about the safety and security of this one tendon, so behind your back, I managed to persuade my father, who shared the same concern, and intended to make efforts to let him enter one of the two king’s hides to serve as the main general of the Yelu Heavy Cavalry Army, but at the end of the day, my father’s operation there had already made some progress. The operation on the other side has already had a brow, but this son of a bitch, Yelu Chu Cai, refused to agree, saying that if he is forced to move him away from his brother-in-law, then he will leave home, simply take off his armor, and go to the Central Plains to wander around the rivers and lakes on a single horse.”

Dong Zhuo clenched his hands into fists, “This matter, I just realized it now.”

Dong Zhuo raised his eyes to the distance, “But if I had already known about it, and if Yelu Chu Cai agreed to you guys, I definitely won’t stop him, but if he’s not willing to leave, I won’t persuade him either.”

Dong Zhuo continued, “The sons and daughters of my Dong family army are the most in demand 100 gold soldiers in the entire grassland, no one is worried about their future, as long as they want to move their own nests, at least one level of official promotion. But for so many years, only after a big and bitter battle, outsiders sharpened their heads to enter my Dongjia Army, taking pride in being a soldier of the Dongjia Army. There has never been anyone who left to choose to leave this army ……”

Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed and changed his words, “I was wrong, in fact, there are, and many! Like this brother-in-law of mine, died in battle.”

Dong’s son and son on the horse knife on the horse spear, dead horse back dead horse beside. The little mother at home should not cry her heart out, and the little boy at home will be the Dong family’s son again!

She suddenly walked towards him and hammered hard at his chest. In the end, Dong Zhuo, who was thick-skinned and clad in iron armor, didn’t feel much, and her fist was already instantly red and swollen.

After this, she didn’t cry, took a deep breath and softly said, “Don’t die in Huaiyang Pass, don’t die in Refuse North City, if you really want to die, die in the farthest away from the grassland, on the shore of the South Sea of the Central Plains, so that I can be out of sight, out of mind.”

Dong Zhuo grinned, “Alright!”

She turned to leave, “I’m going back to Beiting, don’t send me off.”

Probably the same as the little girl Tao Manwu, this resolute woman who once threatened at a young age, “I hate that I am not a man, otherwise I would be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households”, and this Beimang County Princess who made the Beimang female emperor laugh and say three good words with these words, also did not dare to cry out in front of her.

Waiting for her to walk away alone, the fifth fox then worriedly said: “Why do you want to gnaw on this piece of hard bone without a bit of meat in Huaiyang Pass? Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to Murong Baoding for a headache?”

Dong Zhuo laughed to himself and said, “Hard battles have to be fought by someone, and with what is left of His Majesty’s family, if we still want to make a difference in the Central Plains, we can no longer fight childish battles like the first Liangmang Battle. Grassland children, in the end, is not a spring every year, cut a crop of water grass, there is another crop. Now the prairie big and small Sydney picks are hurt, the north court once again inch, I’m afraid it will implode. So a big mess, the gods can not remedy, when the time to suffer or I Dong Zhuo, in vain, let the Northern Liang border army reap the benefits of fishing, and establish the world’s achievements.”

Dong Zhuo looked south, is that he personally broke after the destruction of the tiger city, and then south, is sitting on the heavenly danger geographical advantage of Huaiyang Pass, it is ridiculous, the grassland millions of troops, and the north of the Liang twenty years of war, the old man slaughter in the world, the south of the border army even see the tiger city of the number of times are only a handful of times, until the people slaughter Xu primrose after the death of his dong Zhuo finally power in the hands of the north of the Mang hoofs stepped in the south of the ground, but only a bit advanced only. Only advanced some only. But now, the 10,000 light cavalry of the Yu Luan Blade Department of Northern Liang, following the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry of earlier years, have once again penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, treating the large and small military towns and fortresses of Guseizhou as if they were nothing.

Dong Zhuo reached out and pointed to the south, said to this little daughter-in-law: “in Huaiyang Pass that the capital of the house, sits a fat than me, it is said that the Liyang court has been claimed that I and Chu fat between the end of that battle, this people Tu righteous son said so a treacherous grandiose words, said that the world’s cavalry army, only divided into the Xu family of iron cavalry and all the other cavalry army. In fact, the truth is not like that, except that the Northern Liang Border Army, how conceited they are, gladly accepted the dirty water thrown by the civil officials of Liyang, and instead regarded it as a compliment.”

Dong Zhuo did not retract his arm and kept pointing to the south, smiling grimly as he slowly said, “Chu Lushan did put down some words at that time, and I remember that fellow was sitting high on his horse, pointing the tip of his iron lance at me, and laughed loudly as he said, ‘I heard that your boy’s name is Dong Zhuo? My father out of some concerns, not good full force, so Chen Zhi Bao and Yuan Zuozong are too lazy to play with you, I Chu Lushan really have nothing to do to hold panic, this is to run over to play with you, otherwise with your so little ability, plus your hand this point of rotten soldiers and horses …… ” ”

Dong Zhuo did not say anything for a long time.

Fifth Fox curiously asked, “What follows?”

Dong Zhuo withdrew his hand and said resentfully, “Then I fainted after being seriously injured.”

Seemingly feeling somewhat embarrassed, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and made a face at the little girl Tao Manwu.

The tearful little girl clutched Dong Zhuo’s wrist vigorously, and instead of being amused, she became more and more hyun-sobbing.

The little girl raised her head and choked, “Uncle Dong, don’t die!”

In the mind of this child with a difficult life, she was like the kind of broomstick rumored in the marketplace, always killing the people closest to her, from her father Tao Qianzhi to Yelu Chuzhai, who was next?

So she was scared.

Dong Zhuo squatted down, stretching out that big hand that was used to touching swords and killing people and covered with calluses, helping the little girl wipe her tears, “Xiao Manwu, don’t cry, bad people like Uncle Dong, the longest life, Yama is not even happy to accept.”

As soon as she heard these words, the little girl’s tears increased even more.

Because in her mind, besides her father, Uncle Dong had always been the second best good guy under the sky side by side.

And that guy, who she once regarded as the first best, could now only be quietly relegated to second.

Dong Zhuo did not know how to persuade her, so he let her ride on his shoulder, and after standing up and looking south together, Dong Zhuo softly said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Dong will take you to see him one last time.”

Tao Manwu rested her little head on Dong Zhuo’s big head.

Dong Zhuo asked softly, “Little Manwu, how to hum that song, Uncle Dong always can’t remember the words, your little uncle used to sing it in front of me, and he made it sound awful. Little Manwu, why don’t you teach him one last time?”

The little girl heavily hmmm, just too many tears too much crying, she did not open her mouth immediately.

Dong Zhuo is not in a hurry, for no reason remembered a passage of scripture, this murderous Northern Mang general, hands together, bowed his head in reverent meditation: “Since the conversion of Buddha, not subject to all the suffering of the cycle of reincarnation. Since the conversion to the Dharma, to enjoy the blessings of the three worlds of the Ten Directions. Since the conversion of the monk, not to fall into the evil paths of the past life ……”

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

The grass will grow next year, and the geese will go and return. The spring breeze is blowing this year, will the gentleman return? The grass is green on the green stone boards, and the green-clothed man on the green stone bridge is humming the tune of Jinling.

Whose daughter smiles down?

The yellow leaves fall this year, year after year. Autumn winds will rise next year, is the maiden there? The yellow river flows with yellow flowers, and the yellow flower maiden in the city of the Yellow River, pounces on the yellow butterflies.

Whose son’s sword is in the sheath?

The sword is still in its sheath.

My son has not returned.

This is true for many living people on both sides of the Liang and Mang sides.

Only perhaps in the eyes of the Central Plains, the three feudal kings of the joint rebellion, their war seems to come without cause, just those Northern Liang barbarians and Northern Mang barbarians, where the dead, died as a matter of course, natural and rightful.

Dragon’s eye child plains of yellow sand earth above, still carrying a small full of Wu’s fat man put down the original hands together, said in a deep voice: “Chu Lushan, since you are bent on death, then I am greatly generous on accepting your 300 pounds of meat!”

Control of the south down the main road of Huaiyang Pass divided into inner and outer city, built on the mountain, the overall terrain to the south incremental, especially the inner city built on the cliffs, the city walls are made of stone, when the Northern Liang efforts to build the first Northwest Guanxian male city of Huotou City, the stone used in most of the Canglang Mountain from the Lingzhou, and then found that there are still remaining boulders of the ten of the three or four, it was a breath of all the South to the Waiyang Pass at that time, far from today’s scale, after more than a decade of After more than ten years of continuous reinforcement and accumulation, hoarded a large number of equipment grain and grass, as long as the outer city is not lost, water is also no worries. Huaiyang Pass in addition to the strategic significance of losing to the tiger’s head city, difficult to break the degree, in fact, has exceeded the refusal of the northern city built before the first city of the border of Liyang.

Therefore, when Chu Lushan insisted on setting up the capital of Huaiyang Pass far away from Liangzhou City, Xu Fengyen did not have too many objections.

However, after the fragmented Hutou City lost its defensive significance, Xu Fengyen and Qingliang Mountain both asked Chu Lushan to return to Refuse North City, but Chu Lushan still insisted on defending the first line of Huaiyang Pass.

It is hard to imagine, this has had a thousand riders to open Shu feat of human butchery righteous son, led by eight thousand trailing river iron cavalry of the general, in the northern Liang roots, but has been official low and no complaints, bent on living that kind of drunkenness deserted life, claiming to like wine, like beautiful women, like fancy clothes, like big horses, like the posters, like strange flowers, like the excellent travel.

After a leap to become the Northern Liang capital guard, and then shifted, in the barren and desolate Guanwai, not moving.

After the death of Xu Snap, there is no one in the world who can really see through this fat man who is treacherous and evil.

Above the citadel of the inner city of Huaiyang Pass, a fat man bloated like a small mountain held his hands on top of the arrows and was silent.

There were enemies all over the world, but not a single confidant.

He rubbed his neck and said with a smile, “What a great head.”
