Seeing Lin Wei leaving with a few soldiers, Zhang Qi said to Dong Xian: "Captain, this Lin Wei is so rude! How can you tolerate him?"

Dong Xian said: "Dengzhou's army has been in Shannan. We have never heard the names of most of them. We cannot underestimate them just because we have not heard the names. Wang Jieshuai's army of hundreds of thousands is divided into front, rear, left and right.

There are five armies in total. Among them, the Chinese army is the strongest, with about 40,000 troops. That Zhang Yin is the deputy commander of the Chinese army, and this Lin Wei is the Zuo Yuhou of the Chinese army. Do the math, this

What kind of character is he?"

Zhang Qi said: "They have many subordinates, but in the final analysis, you are a prince!"

Dong Xian sighed: "Don't you see? Wang Jieshuai respects the status of Captain Zhai very much, but for me, it's another matter. We only have three thousand troops under our command, and Wang Jieshuai is just a commander.

That’s it. Sending a Zuo Yuhou is enough to give you face. Don’t worry about it, just quickly unite your troops and leave the city as quickly as possible. It doesn’t matter where you can get there.”

Zhang Qi said: "The enemy camp from Luoyang is twenty miles further than ours. Does the Lieutenant think they can really come?"

Dong Xian said: "If they can't come, it means that this army is still a normal person, and we don't need to care too much. If they come, alas, I'm afraid there will never be such a free and easy life in the future. We must be careful as a human being-"

Zhang Qi listened and stood there without speaking for a long time.

Dong first ordered his troops and horses, and when it was close to Si hour, he hurried out of Shou'an County. He drove as fast as possible on the road. When he arrived at You hour, after walking more than ten miles, he arrived near Langgou. The sun was about to set.

After taking a breath, Dong Xian said to Zhang Qi: "After passing Langgou, there is no way to Xin'an ahead. Although we are in a hurry, we have fulfilled our mission!"

Zhang Qi said: "What the Taiwei said is true. However, the Luoyang defenders did not retreat here. Did the Dengzhou army not arrive?"

Dong Xian thought about it and said: "That's right! If they hadn't arrived, this matter would have been interesting——"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the soldiers in front shout: "Lieutenant, I don't know what kind of army is coming in front of me!"

Dong Xian hurriedly stepped forward. He saw under the afterglow of the setting sun, an unknown number of rebel troops were approaching him. His heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Form up! No one is allowed to set foot on the road to Xin'an! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

"

As the trumpet sounded, Dong Xian's army seized the intersection of Langgou and blocked the rebels in the Luoshui River Valley.

The defeated Luoyang army that had escaped had no idea of ​​their rationality. They were blocked by Dong Xian and they just killed them regardless. They had no organization and no command. After the initial panic, Dong Xian quickly took control of the situation.

When the sun went down, most of the rebels who escaped were captured, and some of them were left dead on the battlefield.

Dong Xian held his spear on his horse and gasped for air. Looking at the battlefield in front of him, he felt as if he was dreaming. Calculating the time, Zhang Yin's army happened to arrive at the last hour and defeated the enemy in less than half an hour.

, without any delay. If I had left the city a little slower, most of the rebel army might have rushed into the mountains. At that time, I didn't know what would happen if I went to the mountains to chase the defeated army.

In the dusk, an army of about five hundred people came slowly from the front. When they arrived, a general stepped forward and said: "Is that the army of Lieutenant Dong in front? The second regiment of Dengzhou is in charge of Zhang Zhen. Please ask Dong

Lieutenant, speak!"

Dong Xian put away his spear, picked up his horse's reins, and came to the front of the array. He cupped his hands and said, "My Excellency, Mr. Dong, I have seen Zhang Tongzhi!"

Zhang Zhendao: "Our army slaughtered the enemy twenty miles away, and I followed them all the way. Seeing Lieutenant Dong forming an array here, I wonder if the defeated army was blocked?"

Mr. Dong let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled!"

Zhang Zhendao: "Deputy Commander Zhang is twenty miles away. If it is convenient, Taiwei can go and see him!"

Dong Xian called Zhang Qi and said: "Zhang Yin is the deputy capital commander and holds a high position in the army. It is appropriate for me to pay him a visit. In just five days, Wang Jieshuai wiped out all Meng Bangxiong's troops and firmly established them."

Occupy the city of Luoyang. Such a force has never been seen before and cannot be taken lightly. You and the army will camp here while I go to visit Zhang Yin. I hope that there will be no differences between the two parties and that we can have a happy talk!"

Zhang Qi said yes. He ordered the troops to camp nearby and wait for Dong Xian to return.

Watching the sun go down, Dong Xian rode up to Zhang Zhen and said, "The sun has set. General, why don't you rest here for the night?"

Zhang Zhendao: "The deputy commander of the capital has strictly ordered that if Lieutenant Dong intercepts the fleeing deserters, I must report immediately. How dare you delay?"

They were all riding horses, and the twenty-mile journey was not too far. Dong Xian stopped talking and followed Zhang Zhen in the direction of Luoyang. The sun set over the mountain, and the sky was filled with stars, and finally arrived at Zhang Yin's camp. It was nearby.

There is a small road that can cross Longmen Mountain. Meng Bangxiong set up defense here, not only to defend Dong Xian, but also to strengthen Longmen's defense.

After receiving the news, Zhang Yin led a group of generals to welcome him.

Dong Xian was the first to salute and said: "My Excellency, Mr. Dong, has met the Vice-Capital."

Zhang Yin hurriedly said he didn't dare. He smiled and said: "If you come with Zhang Zhen, you must have intercepted the defeated army."

Dong Xian said: "I formed a formation beside the road from Luohe into the mountains and intercepted the defeated army. I captured a total of 857 people and killed 117 of them. We have fulfilled our mission!"

"Okay, okay, the captain has done a great job!" Zhang Yin said as he asked Dong to enter the commander's tent first.

The guests and hosts were seated, and Zhang Yin introduced the generals present. Staff officer Xu Changxing, Zuo Yuhou Lin Wei, secretary Zheng Tianguang, commander Zhang Zhen, governor Gao Xin, deputy commander Zhang Chi, and governor Chen Hai. Zhang Chi is Zhang Yin's

The deputy position is actually the commander. Dong didn't understand it first and wondered why there was still a deputy commander.

After a few polite words, Zhang Yin said: "After destroying the defenders here, Luoyang City will completely fall into our hands. Commander Jie ordered the Taiwei to arrange military affairs. It is best to go to see Zhang Qi as soon as possible.

"

Dong Xian said: "Jie Shuai hasn't entered Luoyang yet?"

Zhang Yindao said: "Meng Bangjie led five thousand people into Yique City. He didn't understand the situation outside yet and was frozen for a moment. Commander Ji led the army to surround Yique, waiting for Meng Bangxiong to go over and persuade him to surrender. Who would have thought of Meng Bangxiong?

, I was pushed back and forth, but I didn’t want to go.”

"I see -" Dong Xian nodded. It turned out that Wang Xiaolie did not capture Yique, but directly attacked Luoyang, which was quite bold.

Zhang Yindao said: "Today is a great victory, it's time to celebrate. When the captain comes, we will roast a sheep and let everyone drink a few bowls of wine."

After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to kill a sheep and roast it. Then he went to the commander's tent to greet Dong Xian.

After drinking for three rounds, Dong Xian asked about the story of the war. Hearing that Zhang Yin's army set off from Linru Town, barely stopping, and fought all the way to Luoyang, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue. Meng Bangxiong's army almost collapsed at the first touch along the way.

There is no strength to fight.

Dong Xian said: "I have been fighting fiercely with Meng Bangxiong for several years, and there is no difference between the two sides. Although he has more soldiers than me, his fighting power is not weak."

Zhang Yin smiled and said nothing.

Dong Xian understood that compared with his own army, Meng Bangxiong was not weak, but in front of people like Zhang Yin, he was vulnerable. When he came in, he saw that the army camp was well-organized and well-disciplined. It was not as ordinary as usual.

Such a messy scene, you know they are different.

After drinking for a while, Dong Xian asked: "Captain, I wonder what Commander-in-Chief is going to do with people like me?"

Zhang Yindao: "Commander Jie said, first of all, it depends on your wishes. If you don't want to be an official in the local area, you can arrange for someone to send you there. If you want to be an official in the local area, you can become a local official. Or if you want to continue to serve in the army, just

Go to the military academy to study first, and then continue to lead troops after you have learned it."

Dong Xian couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "What about my army?"

Zhang Yindao: "According to our military customs, soldiers are selected and sent to the new barracks for training. Those who pass the training are recruited into each army."
