The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

When he was in Zhao County and Wei County, Xun Zhen was relentless in taking care of Yi Cong's cāo training. Last year, he went to Changsha in desperation, leaving Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng and Xin Ai to lead the army on his behalf. The training of Yi Cong’s battalions is also the same as before, just like when Xun Zhen was there, so it is just like Xun Cheng assured Xun Zhen that “the call of the elder brother will be called, and the four thousand soldiers will be ready to fight immediately”, but it is “ If you are recruited, you will be able to fight.” Xun Zhen planned to set off in the afternoon at the latest, but in fact, all the righteous congregations were assembled that night.

It was not yet dawn, when Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, and Xin Ai came to Gao Yangli to invite Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen first went to see the elders of the clan last night, and then summoned Xi Zhicai, Cheng Jia, Xun You, Luan Gu, Yao Sheng and others to discuss the details of leading the army into Beijing. After the assembly was over, he didn't sleep at all, and went to the back house to say goodbye to Chen Zhi's daughters.

"Azhi, you also know the political situation in Luoyang. Today's Great General and Yuan Benchu ​​called me to the capital, but I can't wait for this matter. The sooner I arrive, the better. You don't have to worry about me at home."

Although Chen Zhi was reluctant to give up, she knew the importance of it, and she bowed her hands and said, "What the general does is state affairs, and state affairs are the most important. The concubine has no other thoughts, I only hope that the general will go here, and the journey will be safe... Today, the capital is turbulent, and the time The situation is uncertain, please be careful everywhere after the general enters the capital."

Xun Zhen laughed and said, "I have 4,000 soldiers with me, even on the battlefield, in front of millions of people, I am also safe and sound, chatting and laughing calmly, and this time I'm just entering the capital? Don't worry. "

After saying goodbye to the daughters of Tang Er, Chi Mai, and Wu Concubine, Xun Zhen and others left the house after the daughters sent them off lovingly.

At this time, it was not yet bright, and the eastern sky was full of fish belly white, and the breeze was blowing, which was very refreshing.

Most of the Xun clan in Gaoyang Village have the habit of getting up early. Many clansmen have already opened their homes, or they are cleaning in front of the courtyard, or doing fencing and fitness in the courtyard. Ask about the matter at hand.

Last night, Xun Zhen "called a large number of soldiers" and caused a whole night of commotion in Yingyīn County, and the Xun clan also knew about it.

Xun Zhen, Xun You, and Xun Cheng replied to the inquirer respectively: "Enter Beijing by edict."

Although Xun Zhen, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others did not wear armor, Xun Cheng, Xu Zhong, and Xin A were all dressed neatly. Walking in the morning light, a stern aura was like a sharp needle and snow-cold, threatening the skin.

The letter that He Jin and Yuan Shao ordered Xun Zhen to bring troops to Beijing, Xun Zhen only showed it to a few people, such as Le Jin, Feng Gong, such as Xi Zhicai, Xun You, such as Xun Shuang, Xun Qu, etc. Most of the Xun clan People don't know this letter, but there are no impervious walls in the world, and there are many smart people in the Xun clan. The edict that Xun Zhen received yesterday, soon after receiving the edict, he suddenly summoned troops for no reason, and it was night. Such an unusual move has long caused many people to speculate, suspecting that it came with the edict or that there was an order to order Xun Zhen to lead the army into the capital. Seeing him like this this morning, combined with the judgment of last night, everyone is already sure. , Xun Zhen must be bringing troops to Beijing.

Watching Xun Zhen and the others walking away, more and more people from the Xun clan gathered in the alley in the inner room, and while watching Xun Zhen and the others go out, there was a lot of discussion. During the discussion, they heard someone coughing a few times. Everyone turned to look and saw that Xun Qu was standing at the door of his courtyard in a robe, supporting the courtyard door and watching Xun Zhen. After Xun Zhen left the inner door, Xun Qu looked back at the many clans in the alley and said, "Early in the morning, gathering on the road, making a fuss, what's the etiquette? Why don't you hurry up and go home."

Xun Qu has a very high prestige in the clan, which is second only to Xun Hao, Xun Shuang and other elders. After hearing his words, the clan people in the alley did not dare to say any more, each of them bowed and went home.

Xun Zhen told Xun Shuang, Xun Qu, and others just last night that she was going to leave today, but she no longer had to go to the houses of respected elders to say goodbye.

When I separated from Xun Qu and Xun Shuang last night, it was very dark. Xun Zhen originally thought that Xun Qu and Xun Shuang were still sleeping, but he didn't know that Xun Qu immediately put on his clothes and came out to send him after hearing the news. Looking back, he strode out the door.

When they went out of the li, Xun Zhen and the others all led their horses. When they came out of Gaoyang li, they mounted their horses and galloped out of the city.

It was still early in the sky, and there were not many people on the street, but the sound of horses' hooves was rushing, but for a while, I didn't know how many residents along the way were awakened.

The assembled nearly 4,000 righteous congmen were temporarily stationed outside the west gate of Yingyīn, not far from the city, only five or six miles away.

Xun Zhen and the others galloped on their horses and arrived at the gathering place of the battalions and horses in a short time.

At this time, it was a little bright, and the troops and horses had already finished their meals. Ben was sitting quietly on the ground to maintain his physical strength. Xin Ai rushed to the front of the army ahead of time, and passed the military order that "the general is coming, all the battalions stand in silence". The soldiers of the various tribes rose in response.

These nearly 4,000 righteous followers were the capital that Xun Zhen had accumulated over the years. He was well-dressed and had strict military discipline. Under an order, there was nothing he could not obey. Nearly 4,000 people rose at the same time. Clothes, armor, and weapons dinged non-stop, hundreds of war horses neighed, and flags of various colors rustled in the wind.

When Xun Zhen's horse came to the front of the army, all the troops stood up.

There are hundreds of followers from Yizhong. These hundreds were recruited by Xu Zhong and others when Xun Zhen was not in Yingchuan. Although most of them were Ying Yin’s children, some of them had not met Xun Zhen. I heard earlier Xin Ai said, "The general is coming." The soldiers who had never seen Xun Zhen couldn't help but stare at him. At this time, Xun Zhen was seen in front of the battle, wearing a black coat with a high crown, a green ribbon and a silver seal, and treading snow on his crotch. Wu Qian, with a hundred refined swords in his waist, in the morning wind, his heroic appearance is valiant, and he is either a scholar, a scholar, a scholar, a tiger or a wolf.

Before Xun Zhen hit the horses, he looked at the formation, and saw that the team was neat, riding on the right, walking on the left, with banners and flags like forests, armor and clothes like mysterious, all the fierce and powerful soldiers in the eyes, listening to the silence, and feeling very satisfied, first from south to north From north to south again, galloping back and forth.

During the gallop, he drew his sword in his hand, and while running, he succinctly told the soldiers the reason for sending troops this time: "The **** gets the power, the general yù destroys his generation, because he summoned my troops to the capital to build a strong momentum. The **** is the greatest evil in the world, and all scholars hate it! Before I hung up my seal and died, what was the reason? You and Cao all know the reason! Today, I was ordered to enter the capital, not only for the world to eradicate evil, but also for me! "

These soldiers were Xun Zhen's righteous followers, and Xun Zhen's hatred was their hatred. They may not care about "eliminating evil for the world", but for Xun Zhenxue hatred, this is their "duty and mission".

Nearly 4,000 people raised their weapons in unison, and suddenly shouted: "Exterminate evil for the world, and hate for General Xue!"

Xun Zhen rode his horse to the front of the generals Xu Zhong, Xun Cheng, and Xin A, and simply ordered: "Let's go."

——Xun Zhen set out with his troops, and the courtier who came to pass the edict to him yesterday had his own county and county to entertain him. Speaking of which, it seemed a bit rude for Xun Zhen to lead the troops into the capital without waiting for the courtier who passed the edict to leave, but it was an extraordinary time, but he couldn't care too much for the time being.

Before entering Beijing, go to Yangzhai to join Le Jin and Feng Gong.

After Le Jin and Feng Gong returned to Yangzhai yesterday, after a busy night, they had taken food and ordnance from the prefecture, loaded the car, and stopped at the barracks outside the county. When Xu Zhong and others set off, they first sent a fast horse to inform Le Jin, Feng Gong and others.

Le Jin and Feng Gong received the military report and rushed to the camp immediately, showing the order of the prefect of Yingchuan, and summoned all the 300 soldiers of Rui County who had been selected last night, and guarded them out of the camp with food carts and ordnance carts. Xun Zhen's main force was waiting on the avenue to the west of Yangzhai County.

It was only a few dozen miles from Yingyīn to Yangzhai. Xun Zhen waited until dawn to set off, and arrived at Yangzhai before evening.

Le Jin and Feng Gong led the commanders and corps of the county soldiers and led the officers for several miles to greet them.

Yue Jin has been operating in the Yingchuan County Army for several years. Most of the middle and low-ranking officers in the County Army are his cronies. These colony chiefs and team leaders are even more cronies among the cronies, and several of them are Yingyīn. , Xu County, Changshe and other people around Yingyīn.

The nearly 4,000-step riding army was quite powerful.

Riding forward and stepping back, the dust is flying, and the flag is flying under the sunset, and the armor is dazzling.

Happy to see it all. Le Jin sighed sincerely: "The general left Yingyīn in the morning, four thousand people rushed to Yangzhai in the evening, and the flags were not chaotic, the team was neat, the discipline was serious, and the advance and retreat were measured.

Feng Gong was also amazed and said with a smile: "Wen Qian, I really regret that I didn't conquer the Yellow Turbans from the general and decide Zhao Wei. In the past, Jiang Boqin had ambitions and wanted to lead the masses to run rampant in Beizhou, and set the border for the country to defeat the rebels. Now he has followed the general to negotiate the yellow turban and set up Zhao Wei, which can be regarded as a small success of volunteering, but watching you and me? Wen Qian! But these years have been wasted and nothing has been achieved."

It had been a long time since he had left Xun Zhen, even if Xun Zhen treated him with the same attitude as before, Feng Gong couldn’t help but compare himself to Xu Zhong, Jiang Qin, Chen Bao and other old folks from Xixiang who had followed Xun Zhen’s life and death all these years and had “great military exploits”. There will be feelings of "ashamed", "envy", "lowering one's head" and so on.

Le Jin also had this feeling, but not as strong as Feng Gong.

But it was because although Le Jin did not follow Xun Zhen to fight in these years, he was optimistic about Yingchuan for Xun Zhen, and he firmly controlled nearly a thousand county soldiers. Once Xun Zhen was useful, he would have it. Grasping to give Xun Zhen nearly a thousand years of training and living strength, so Feng Gong may "get nothing", but Le Jin doesn't think that he has wasted all these years, and he doesn't think that he "gets nothing".

Le Jin, Feng Gong and others led the horses to stand by the road, let the soldiers in the front pass, and after a while, they saw Xun Zhen.

Xun Zhen, under the protection of Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Zhao Yunzhi, etc., rode to Lejin and Feng Gong.

Le Jin and Feng Gong dropped the reins in their hands and bowed down.

Xun Zhen didn't dismount, looked at the two of them, and said, "You don't have to salute when you're in military uniform."

Le Jin and Feng Gong got up at the command.

Le Jin bowed and asked, "General, do you want to rest overnight in Yangzhai, or march overnight?"

"Where are the soldiers, food, and weapons?"

"There is a wild pavilion a few miles ahead, where soldiers, provisions, and weapons are all located."

"Junqing is at the back, you can wait for him here. After he arrives, you two will join forces and move on, and camp in Yangguan tonight."

Yangguan is in the northwest of Yangzhai, about ten or twenty miles away from Yangzhai.

Xun Zhen was in a hurry to go to the capital, hoping to enter the capital before Dong Zhuo, since she would not be staying in the camp in the evening, so she ordered to travel another twenty miles.

At this time of early autumn, the weather is cool, neither hot nor cold, it is the best time to march.

Most of the righteous congmen of Xunzhen’s tribe were soldiers of hundreds of battles, who had been in battle for a long time, and in the good season of early autumn, they traveled a hundred or ten miles a day, which is not a problem.

Le Jin replied, "Yes."

He personally took off the water bag from the saddle of the horse, gave it to Xun Zhen, and said with a smile: "This is Yangzhai wine. The general has been away from Yangzhai for a long time, do you miss the taste of this wine? Dare to present it to the general.  … Knowing that the general's orders are strict, I am willing to receive punishment."

Xun Zhen's army was strictly disciplined, and it was forbidden to drink alcohol on the march, but Yue Jin's bag of wine appeared to be wine on the surface, but in fact it offered loyalty, but Xun Zhen could not punish him with military orders. He laughed, ordered Dian Wei to accept it, and said, "I've been thinking about the taste of this brew. ... In this case, I'll make an exception tonight! Wen Qian, Hugou, you two and Jun Qing and others will lead the army first. Yangguan, when I arrive, let's drink two glasses."

"Yes."

Xun Zhen asked Le Jin, Feng Gong, and Xu Zhong to go to Yangguan first~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Listening to what he said, it seemed like they didn't go with them? Le Jin asked: "The general ordered me and Jun Qing to go to the sun first, and dare to ask, don't you know the general?"

"I'll go to the city first."

"Oh! The general has entered Yangzhai, is he a master of the government?"

Outside the city of Yangzhai, it would be unreasonable not to see the prefect of Xiaben County. Besides, Xun Zhen had also obtained so much food, so much ordnance, and three hundred soldiers from the Yingchuan County Mansion through Le Jin, so he should go there. If you meet the prefect of Yingchuan, it's good to say thank you.

Unexpectedly, Xun Zhen rode on the horse, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Seeing the prefect is only one of them."

"Just one of them?"

The setting sun is like blood, hanging far away in the western sky, and the Yangzhai City under the twilight is dark and dark.

Xun Zhen pointed at him with his whip, and smiled: "The general yù exterminates the officials in the palace. Since I have been ordered to enter the capital, I will be the first to lead the way for the general!"

"What do you mean, General?"
