Chapter 105: Shunchang Death

Luoyang, Deyang Palace.

Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong was refreshed and came to the Golden Palace early to preside over the court discussion. The ministers shouted "Long live, each of them returned to two squads." General He Jin winked, and General He Miao, the chariot and cavalry, understood, and went out of the squad to kneel down on Danban, and said, "Your Majesty, I~~I have this memorial~"

Emperor Ling of Han said: "What's the matter?"

He Miao reported: "Your Majesty, although the eight hundred bandits are determined, the morale of the army is not stable. After the Fubo Central Army General Ma Yue has been a famous general, he has long been willing to serve the court. Because of the times, he has to surrender himself to deal with the thieves. Therefore, Ma Yue will never rebel again. Only his generals and soldiers under his command are all tigers and wolves, and they are bloodthirsty. Now, he is bound by the Han Dynasty's laws and orders and is afraid that he will feel resentful and rebellious.

Emperor Ling of Han said in disgrace: "No way~~ Ma Yue can't control his soldiers?"

Zhang Rang and He Jin, who were standing under the Jin stairs, exchanged glances, bent down and whispered: "Your Majesty, what the General of the Chariot and Cavalry said is a fact. I heard that Pingyin, Pingxian and Gucheng were all plundered by soldiers under General Fu Bo. This is a sign of unstable military morale. The consequences in the long run will be unimaginable."

The Grand Tutor Yuan Feng looked pale and couldn't help but glance at He Jin, but He Jin ignored him. Yuan Feng naturally didn't know that last night, Ma Yue gave He Jin a total of ten boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked him to give two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. The three of them were all greedy. After receiving Ma Yue's wealth, they naturally had to be together and talk for Ma Yue.

In fact, Ma Yue presented the Seven-Star Sword in front and the huge amount of money behind him. He Jin had long regarded it as his confidant.

Emperor Ling of Han said anxiously: "What should I do?"

He Jin left the house and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may stabilize the morale of the army."

"He Ce, my dear, come on."

He Jindao: "I went to General Fubo's camp yesterday and had already obtained the list of generals and schools under my command. It would be better to give them official positions. Then they would be grateful to Your Majesty for his great kindness. Naturally, they would no longer cause trouble."

The Grand Tutor Yuan Fengyu watched He Jin and Zhang Rang sing and reconcile, and actually spoke for the thief Ma Yue. His face became even more ugly, and an inexplicable coldness flashed through his eyes.

Emperor Ling of Han said: "Let me present the list."

He Jin took out a piece of silk book from his sleeve and solemnly raised it over the top. A young eunuch came forward to take it and handed it to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang sent the silk book to the case of Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling unfolded it. After reading it, he said loudly: "Transfer my order~~ Jia Xu is the chief minister, Guo Tu is the chief lord, Pei Yuanshao, Guan Hai, and Zhou Cang are all the lieutenants, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun are all the lieutenants~~"

...

At the Pingyin Ferry, the roaring Han River rolled eastward from now on, and the sails were dotted on the surging river surface, and boats were sailing. Nearly three thousand soldiers, more than one thousand craftsmen, more than 4,000 war horses and thousands of vehicles loaded with food and supplies gathered into a vast torrent, crossing the Hebei region here.

The car is shaking, the horse is roaring, and the wind of the river is shaking. The warriors never return.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Xu Chu looked dull and knelt towards his southeastern hometown. Behind Xu Chu, more than 200 brave men from Xu Jiazhuang knelt down. The surging river water hit the river bank with a surging wall, splashing snow all over the sky. The vast river wind blew the water droplets flying all over the sky and sprinkled on Xu Chu's face, and it was a coldness, but it was Xu Chu's mood at this moment.

"Dad! Dad~~" Xu Chu Youran raised his arms high and raised his head to the sky. He howled shrillly, "Ma Yue's leader did not break his promise. Now he has restored his reputation as his ancestors. He is already the General of the Fubo Central Army of the Han Dynasty. Son~~ He is also the Chief Commander of the Han Dynasty. Hohoho~~ You can rest in peace~~"

"Rest in peace~~"

Behind Xu Chu, more than two hundred brave men were in charge of his head, and there was a burst of grief.

"Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~"

The heavy footsteps finally stopped beside Xu Chu. A faint voice sounded leisurely: "Zhongkang, do you hate me?"

Xu Chu turned his head dullly. He saw Ma Yue standing proudly on the edge of the river with his hands behind his back, looking straight at the turbulent river with distant and cold eyes. The fierce river wind blew up the cloak behind him, swirling and clattering. Against the backdrop of the vast river surface and the surging waves, Ma Yue's slender figure became more and more majestic.

Behind Ma Yue, the evil man Dian Wei bared his chest and exposed his abdomen, carried two large iron halberds on his shoulders, standing like a mountain.

A trace of heat flashed leisurely in Xu Chu's dull eyes, and he turned around and paused toward Ma Yue's head, and said solemnly: "Chu~~Keep to the lord~~"

The wind is strong and the waves are loud. Ma Yue stands solemnly with his hands behind his back, and is speechless for a long time. Behind Ma Yue, the evil man Dian Wei follows the same thing, and then stares at the surging river surface, and is actually fascinated by seeing it~~

After a long time, Ma Yueshi sighed quietly and said calmly: "Get up and set off~~"

"Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~"

The heavy footsteps gradually faded away. Ma Yue slowly left under the escort of Dian Weidi, and then hid into the army that was advancing north. Xu Chu took a deep breath, rose up, and a trace of inexplicable determination appeared in his dull eyes, and he said sternly: "Brothers, let's go~~"

"Go~~"

More than 200 brave men from Xujiazhuang stood up one after another and responded with a loud response.

...

In May of the second year of Zhongping (185 AD), the Han Dynasty's Fubo General, the General of the Han Dynasty, Ma Yue, protected the Wuhuan School Captain, and led three thousand iron cavalry to cross the Yellow River north, passed Bingzhou, passed Yanmen, and entered the boundary of Youzhou from Dai County.

In September, he arrived at the Ning County District, Shanggu County.

Youzhou is located in the northernmost border of the Han Empire, with the ten counties of Dai County, Shanggu, Zhuo County, Guangyang, Yuyang, Youbeiping, western Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu, plus the vassal state of Liaodong, and the prefecture is governed by Ji County in Guangyang. From the end of the Qin Dynasty to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu ran rampant in the northern desert and repeatedly invaded the border of the Han Dynasty. Youzhou was the first to be hit and suffered the most damage.

Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, sent 320,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, and was defeated by Baideng.

By Emperor Wu, he devoted all his efforts to severely damage the Huns, and the Huns turned from prosperity to decline.

When Guangwu was revived, Liu Xiuxing's plan to shrink, abandoned border towns, and accumulated national strength. At that time, the Huns were in conflict. The Southern Huns entered the Great Wall to attach to the Han Dynasty. The Northern Huns were driven away and fought in Europe. Unfortunately, the Eastern Han court was corrupt at this time and the military preparatory was abolished, and they missed the opportunity. The Xianbei branch of the Donghu team took advantage of the situation and captured the old land of the Huns in the northern desert.

During the period of Emperor Ling Guanghe (178-184 AD), the king was abusing Shi Huai to unify the Xianbei. His territory began to start from Fuyu (now Heilongjiang in the northeast) in the east and ended in the west to Guihuang and Wusun, which lasted for thousands of miles and was extremely powerful. In the fourth year of Emperor Ling of Han, Emperor Ling, Shi Huai died. His son He Lian succeeded to the throne, He Lian was incompetent and lustful. Soon after he died, the Xianbei soon fell into division.

When Ma Yue led three thousand iron cavalry northward to Youzhou, it was the time when the situation in Youzhou was the most chaotic.

There are many tribes in the ten counties of Youzhou and the neighboring areas of Mobei, including the Xianbei Rilu, Derivative, Murong, Tuoba, Kuitou, Qianman, Suli, Mijia, Queji and other tribes, Wuhuan Supuyan tribe, Pufulu tribe, Nalolai tribe, Qiuliju tribe, and Southern Xiongnu, Tuge Hu, and Qiang Hu tribes in Hetao area. All forces are mixed and attack each other. In addition to the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, the situation is even more chaotic.

Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, was a relative of the Han Dynasty and a capable minister in the country. He mainly used the method of Huairou to govern Youzhou, which was deeply supported by the Yi tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Fuyu and Han tribes. Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Youbeiping, was quite brave and advocated martial arts. The Yi tribes such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Fuyu were quite afraid of it.

Due to the contradictory strategies they advocate, Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan have always been in conflict and have accumulated grievances.

...

The setting sun is like blood. The wind and deserts are everywhere.

“Hululu~~”

The heavy sound of war horses sniffing leisurely, and a ghostly horse appeared on the ridges of the rolling hills, a knight felt hat and Hu clothing, a scimitar on his waist, and a long bow slapped across his shoulders. Three or five feather arrows poked out from behind his shoulders, piercing straight into the sky.

"Well~~"

The knight stopped the war horse and stood solemnly on the ridge like a wolf. His sharp eyes stared at the foot of the mountain without a moment. Not far from the foot of the mountain was an extremely lively market where Hu people were selling furs and livestock, while Han merchants sold silk, salt, iron and other things from the Central Plains to trade them.

Since Liu Yu served as the governor of Youzhou, he has adopted a policy of Huairou and opened up trades, and border towns have flourished rapidly.

At the market, a Hu man looked around and took off the tiger skin that was draped on his body as if nothing had happened. He waved three times in the air and shouted: "Tiger skin. The best tiger skin, buy it as soon as possible~~"

On the ridge, the Hu-clothed knight's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he drove away his horse and quickly hid behind the ridge.

Half an hour later, a knight in Hu's uniform appeared on the ridge again, and the sharp scimitar suddenly came to his hand. He waved it forward and a group of cavalry appeared behind the knights like a shadow, all holding scimitars. The sharp blades reflected the setting sun in the west and a dazzling cold light rose.

"Note wuwuwu~~"

Set on the watchtower outside the market, the sharp-eyed garrison officers immediately discovered the Hu-suited cavalry on the ridge and immediately shouted the warning. For a moment, the low and loud horns resounded throughout the sky.

"Swish~~"

A feather arrow shot into the air and shot through the throat of the police officer.

“Uh~~”

The official army let out a half scream and fell from the watchtower. The low and desolate horn sounded abruptly.

"The Xianbei people are here~~The Xianbei people are here~~"

The residents and merchants at the market finally came to their senses. I don’t know who started shouting first. In an instant, the whole market was in a panic. People rushed to escape, fleeing, vendors poured over, teahouses and wine tables were overturned, supplies and goods were scattered, and the whole market was in a mess~~

"Aoah, wuri~~"

A strange shout echoed throughout the sky. The first knight in Hu's uniform swung his scimitar forward and rushed down the ridge. The heavy horse's hooves hit the dry and hard land. Instantly, the smoke and dust rose. In the sky, countless cavalry swept out from behind the ridge, flooding towards the market at the foot of the mountain like a tide~~

From the ridge to the market, only a few hundred steps away, the cavalry charge arrived instantly.

"Close the gate~~Fill the crossbow arrows~~"

"Raising the beacon fire and asking for help from the nearby barracks~~"

Dozens of officials stationed at the entrance of the market, led by the small school, quickly closed the gate, ignited a beacon, and prepared to fight. Although they had only dozens of people, and the Xianbei cavalry had as many as thousands of cavalry, they had no way out. Their wealth and life were already tied to the market. Once the market was broken, the wealth and goods were robbed, and the Han laws could not spare them!

Since the left and right are dead, why not fight to the death with the Xianbei wild breeders?

"Boom~~"

Xianbei cavalry surged like a tide. On the horse's back, the ferocious faces of Xianbei people were clearly visible~~

"put!"

"So Soo Soo~~"

At the command of the junior high school, dozens of crossbow arrows shot out like lightning.

“Ah~~”

“Wow~~”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Amid the shrill screams, dozens of Xianbei cavalry fell from the horse's back, falling into dust, and quickly trampled into meat paste by the subsequent cavalry. However, the damage of the official army was not enough to stop the charge of a large group of Xianbei cavalry. They rushed like a frenzy and rushed forward to the almost simple fence of the market.

"Boom boom boom boom~~"

"Xilulu~~"

The violent impact and the neighing of war horses suddenly echoed through the sky. The simple fence collapsed under the violent collision of Xianbei cavalry. Many Xianbei cavalry were also injured by the antlers (not real antlers, but just sharpened wooden stakes) placed in front of the fence. They either fell to the ground and were stepped into meat paste or were penetrated by sharp wooden stakes~~

The official army school was furious and looked ferocious. He put the sword in his hand and shouted sternly: "Brothers, fight with these Xianbei local dogs~~"

"Fight ~~"

Dozens of officials and soldiers responded with wolf howling, waving their weapons to follow the officials' small school to the death, facing the surging Xianbei cavalry formation. There were also dozens of refugees who were fearless and holding sharp weapons in their hands. Following the officials' army.

"Su Shu Shu~~"

The cold light shone, and dozens of sharp scimitars slashed down at the same time. Dozens of officials and dozens of refugees were instantly submerged by the rolling Xianbei cavalry, like a small stone thrown into the surging river. Although a small wave was splashed, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye~~
