The vernal equinox.
It was divided into two, day and night.
When Yang Yu was fighting with Fatty Dong in Chang 'an.
There was another person who was in an even more difficult situation.
The Tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Jian.
Since he escaped from Sanfu, he has been traveling day and night, riding fast.
Although Yuan Shao was slightly better that day, he did not dare to take action.
However, with Yuan Shao's personality, he would definitely make things difficult. It was just a matter of time.
Therefore, they had to go south as soon as possible. As long as they reached the Yangtze River, the children of River East would be invincible in water battles.
"Father, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is indeed worthy of the reputation of the Eight Heroes. He knows that our army is eager to return and that he has made contributions in killing the bandits. Not only did he open the gates and let us pass, he also sent over ten warships and provisions.”
On the deck, Sun Ce was in high spirits.
Along the way, he had fantasized more than once about his father, Sun Jian, ascending the throne and ruling the world.
At that time, there would be a change of dynasty, and he would be the crown prince.
Sun Jian could not hide his smile either.
From Nanjun down the river, less than three days to Changsha.
The sky is high and birds can fly, the sea is wide and fish can swim, Yuan Shao again angry also can not reach.
Rumble!
Rumbling sounds could be heard from the river.
Countless rolling stones and logs fell.
In an instant, the warships were heavily damaged. The river water flowed backward, and countless people fell into the water or were smashed into meat paste.
Then the fire arrows flew like locusts, covering the sky.
There are boulders blocking the river below, making it difficult to move an inch.
It was an ambush from all sides, and it was difficult to escape even if they had wings.
"Hide in the cabin!"
"Protect the lord!"
However, the soldiers were in a panic. They could not even see where the enemy was, and their morale fell to the bottom.
Even someone as fierce as Sun Jian was already on the verge of death.
"Bofu is not going to Changsha."
As he was dying, Sun Jian recalled the blood oath he made in the alliance army camp.
Sure enough, the retribution is not good, did not reach Changsha will come true.
"Go and join Yuan Shu!"
Sun Jian, the Tiger of River East, had fallen.
I just don't know if he regretted hiding the imperial jade seal and died in a foreign land.
.....
The world was in chaos, and the vassals went on a punitive expedition.
When the Jiangdong disciples were eager to return, the situation changed.
Yuan Shao entered Hanoi, food and grass were tight, Jizhou shepherd Han Fu sent people to send food to support the army.
Just grain alone, how could it feed Yuan Shao's ambitions?
He sent Ji Mixin to ask Gongsun Zan of Youzhou to attack Han Fu together and divide Jizhou equally.
Gongsun Zan did not know that there was a trick and secretly rejoiced.
At the same time, Yuan Shao sent a secret letter to Han Fu, saying that Gongsun Zan was planning to seize Jizhou and had made preparations.
Han Fu was unambitious and cautious. He was scared out of his wits. After thinking about it, he begged Yuan Shao to enter Jizhou to resist Gongsun Zan.
But he didn't know that he had led the wolf into the house.
.....
Chang 'an.
Dong Zhuo was arrogant and arrogant every day. He went in and out of the palace to violate the emperor's honor guard.
His younger brother Dong Huang was granted the title of Left General and Marquis of Yu, and his nephew Dong Huang was appointed as a servant, leading the imperial army. Dong's clan, regardless of age, was granted the title of marquis.
When he heard that Sun Jian had died, he was very happy.
"Among the rebel army, only Sun Jian of Changsha is the most valiant.”
When he heard that his son had not yet reached the age of crowning, Dong Zhuo was even more unconcerned.
"Now that the winter is over and the flowers are blooming in spring, the Hu Qiang of the Hetao have repeatedly invaded the territory.”
The Han Dynasty was strong, and the foreign tribes in the Hetao region were well-behaved and paid tribute without interruption.
The Great Han were exhausted, but it was the exact opposite. Not only had the tribute ended, but they had also repeatedly plundered and killed Han people. Today, it was the norm and was becoming more and more intense.
In the past, when he was in Luoyang, it was fine. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, now that the capital was moved to Luoyang, the buffer zone between the two sides was limited. If the Hu Qiang were to attack Chang 'an one day, even if it was like hitting a stone with an egg, it would still be troublesome.
Li Ru smiled and did not mind." Prime Minister, the current situation is uncertain. We should guard the capital first. If we rashly send troops to the north and accumulate resentment with the Hu Qiang, the gains will not make up for the losses.”
Humans had limited vision.
It had nothing to do with intelligence. In this era, the Central Plains was the brightest star. Who would care about the barren land?
Just like Dong Zhuo, after experiencing the prosperity of Guanzhong, he didn't want to return to the bitter and cold land of Xiliang.
Li Ru was the same. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn't let Dong Zhuo split his forces up north.
It would be fine if he succeeded in a quick battle, but if he dragged it out into a battle of attrition, he would still be the one at a disadvantage.
"Just ignore it?" Dong Zhuo really didn't want to be bothered by these flies every day.
Li Ru pondered for a moment and came up with a plan." If the Prime Minister insists on sending troops, we should send out a partial army to let the Hu Qiang understand the Prime Minister's attitude. This way, we will not lose too many troops and we can intimidate the small fries. It's killing two birds with one stone.”
"Who do you think is qualified?" Dong Zhuo hesitated again.
This was obviously not a good job.
To put it bluntly, there was very little profit.
Who would want to fight the Hu Qiang for no reason? It was a losing business.
"The Prime Minister has just given Yang Yu a high position. It's time to repay the Prime Minister.”Li Ru's eyes were filled with a smile, revealing his treachery.
This kind of work was most appropriate to be handed over to Yang Yu.
He believed that it was time for the hidden thorn planted by Yang Yu and Xue Rengui to take root and sprout.
In the eyes of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Xue Rengui's severe injury was more serious than Yang Yu's. It was unlikely that the two of them would fall out with each other, but it was definitely inevitable that there would be a rift in their hearts.
Little did he know that when Yang Yu was hugging Hua Mulan to experience the mansion that he had bought for free that night, Xue Rengui had delivered the tiger talismans of the new army, gold, silver, silk, and pretty palace maids.
Absolute loyalty, no one but Yang Yu could experience it.
However, he still had to put in some effort on the surface. Those two thousand people were under Xue Rengui's command, and as for the actual situation, it was not something that outsiders could tell.
The Imperial Residence.
In the main hall.
Wang Yunzheng was drinking with his old friend Cai Yong to calm his nerves.
"Bo Pang is truly blessed. If General Yang didn't help you that day, you wouldn't have been able to taste this old man's wine.”Wang Yun laughed and poured himself a glass of wine. He no longer had the pretentious and forbearance he had in front of Dong Zhuo.
Cai Yong was also terrified and sighed,"That's right. I will remember this kindness in my heart, but I don't know how to repay it.”
In terms of money, the Cai family really didn't have any spare savings.
In terms of power, he had no real power. At most, he could only speak a few words to Dong Zhuo.
It was just that he had a lot of books, but books were the most precious treasures of scholars and could not be given away.
Thinking of this, Cai Yong said half-jokingly,""I only have one daughter. If benefactor does not abandon her past, it will be a good marriage.”
Bang--
The wine cup fell to the ground.
Wang Yun said apologetically," I'm getting old. I can't even hold a wine cup. But then again, I'm afraid Yan 'er and General Yang are not suitable."
After saying that, he carefully observed Cai Yong's expression.
He knew very well that Cai Yong had loved his only daughter the most in recent years, so it was impossible for him to joke about this matter.
If that was the case, then the plan to help Han would be very bad.
Cai Yong didn't know Wang Yun's plan and said bluntly,""You might not know this, but that day when the forest saved him, Yanjiao didn't want to eat, didn't want to play the zither, and didn't want to read. She sat by the window daydreaming every day, or she sighed.”
"As a father, I naturally know that she is secretly in love. Every time she returns to the residence, she will always ask about General Yang. Sigh, why don't you take her to the residence and have a heart-to-heart talk with your adopted daughter? Perhaps her mood will be better.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yun's veins bulged as he held the wine cup.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Cai Yong, ah Cai Yong, don't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Yan 'er for liking someone who is about to die.
In the stone pavilion of the fish pond in the garden of the Imperial Residence.
Cai Yan's mood was indeed much better than being cooped up at home. He was currently describing how dangerous it was that day, and how heroic Yang Yu was.
She was not stingy with beautiful words and used all the literary talent of the number one talented woman to flatter him.
Opposite her sat a young lady with an even more stunning beauty.
If Cai Wenji was like snow falling from the cherry blossoms, she was noble and elegant, but she did not lose her agility.
The young girl opposite him was gorgeous and charming, like a crescent moon.
She felt helpless and amused as she listened to her good friend's endless flattery.
Was there really such a perfect general in the world?
She is the adopted daughter of Situ Wang Yun.
