Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Master Dong's words are disrespectful to Taishi. It really makes people wonder if Master Dong always uses the name of Taishi to behave?" Dong Yuan immediately said: "Yes! Dong Min, you always What is the intention of speaking out in the name of Daddy?"

Dong Min was taken aback, and quickly said, "I, how can I have any intentions?"

Dong Yuan snorted and said: "You are only the governor, and you can only be in charge of civil affairs. The military dad has already made it clear that your elder brother is in charge. Don't you have any intentions to intervene in the military? I want to report this to dad. Deal with you!" Dong Min panicked immediately and hurriedly said: "Niece, you can't talk nonsense in front of your second brother, it will kill me!" Dong Yuan said in an angry manner: "Since you have crossed the border to interfere in the military, why should I? Can you report it to Daddy?"

Dong Min said in an unpleasant manner: "But he, Chen Lang, also crossed the border and interfered in my civil affairs! He arranged so many officials!"

Dong Yuan said, "This is another matter. That is the intention of my elder brother and I. I am worried that you lack the manpower to manage the civil affairs, uncle, and therefore arrange those manpower for you. If you don't accept our kindness, I will be very angry! But this is only out of personal feelings, not out of official business! Don't confuse it!"

Dong Min angrily said: "You, you are so irrational! I, I..." Dong Min wanted to threaten Dong Yuan to report the matter to Dong Zhuo, but he was worried that Dong Yuan would be mad on the spot. After all, he did not dare to say anything behind.

Dong Min’s staff drew close to Dong Min’s ear and whispered: “My lord, it’s useless to talk more about things so far. It will only make the relationship more rigid, and the rest of the matter will be difficult to handle. It’s better to leave. Let's take a long-term view."

Dong Min felt that this could only be the case, and said to Chen Lang: "This official is only here to advise you. Since you don't listen to the advice, you have to leave it to you." He arched his hand at Chen Lang: "Goodbye!" Instead, the staff hurriedly followed.

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Dong Min is a villain, he will definitely complain to the Taishi!"

Chen Lang said, "Don't worry. The most urgent thing is to consider the Northern Expedition." He glanced at everyone and said, "I plan to pass the Jiguan to Gaodu in advance to receive the local rebels." Gaodu, which is now Shanxi Province Jincheng is now a county under Shangdang County. When the Huns went south, this Gaodu, like many other places, spontaneously organized the rebels to resist the city. Although the Huns came fiercely, they aimed to pillage. After attacking under Gaodu for two days without gaining any advantage, they went to other places to pillage. Not long ago, the envoy sent by Chen Lang contacted the leader of the rebels on the Gaodu side. The other side expressed their willingness to surrender the eagle and raise the army, but hoped that the eagle and Yang army would send a general with enough weight to speak to them to contact them. To surrender. Because of this, Chen Lang said that he had to go to Gaodu through Jiguan first.

Dong Yuan immediately objected: "I don't approve of it! In case the other party has a bad intention, the consequences will be disastrous!" The others also nodded in agreement.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It's most suitable for me to go, and I also want to learn about the situation in Bingzhou firsthand. As for the danger, haha, it doesn't exist. The Gaodu rebels have no reason to attack me. And I will not reveal my identity. , The other party is even more unreasonable to do so. Besides, I will take the fangs with me, even if there are any emergencies." Seeing that everyone still seems to want to persuade, he said: "Okay, I have decided on this matter. Don't persuade you!" Everyone had no choice but to stop persuading.

Later that day, Chen Lang called Guan Yu to the study alone.

"Chang Yun, you have to be careful when I'm away."

Guan Yu clasped his fist and said, "Big brother, don't worry! There is me in Luoyang to ensure nothing is wrong!"

Chen Lang turned around and said: "One is the threat from the princes everywhere. Although this threat should be small at present, it should not be taken lightly. Hulaoguan and Shuiguan must be guarded strictly, and there must be no slack." "Little brother understands, elder brother please be relieved!"

Chen Lang said, "This is one aspect, and we must also guard against Dong Zhuo's aspect."

Guan Yu asked in astonishment, "Could Dong Zhuo be against us? Has he already suspected us?"

Chen Lang said: "At least the fact that he sent Dong Min to be Governor of Luoyang shows that he doesn't trust us very much. Therefore, we must not be taken lightly with Dong Zhuo. Although that Dong Min seems to be useless, we must be careful of his insidious tricks. This kind of people's congress is not capable, but it is a good player to engage in internal fighting." Guan Yu smiled and said, "I can't get any tricks by measuring him!" Chen Lang frowned and said, "Anyway, you have to be careful! You have to remember Live, Luoyang is our base. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be serious!" Guan Yu's heart shuddered and clasped his fists; "Brother took it down!" Then he smiled: "I think Dong Min is very afraid of Miss Dong. Isn’t it foolproof to keep Miss Dong?"

Chen Lang shook his head, "No, Yuanyuan wants to go with me. To make Dong Zhuo relieved, it is necessary for Yuanyuan to go out with me."

Guan Yu nodded, then looked at Chen Lang, frowned and said: "Big brother, I can see that the big brother is sincere to Miss Dong, and Miss Dong is also very affectionate to the big brother. I am worried about the future..."

Chen Lang only felt a headache and frowned, "I don't know what to do with this matter! Don't think about it for now!"

In the early morning mist, Sanbaiqi came out of the North Gate of Luoyang and crossed the Yellow River to the north via the Yellow River Floating Bridge.

After the group of people passed the Jiguan, the desolate atmosphere immediately hit their faces, the villages and towns were all in ruins, the crows hovered over the woods, and Chen Lang and his group walked for most of the day without seeing a pedestrian. The population of Binzhou was not as dense as that of the Central Plains. Not long ago, it experienced a terrible military disaster and the population became even more sparse.

As dusk approached, a city appeared in front of everyone, nestled among undulating mountains, not very large in scale.

"My son, that is Gaodu." A young man next to Chen Lang pointed to the city road in the mountains. The young man's name was Li Dang, who was the envoy who represented the Yingyang army to Gaodu not long ago. Chen Lang's staff is limited in talent, so this kind of mission is often used by officers and soldiers in the army. This Li Gun was from Gaodu in Bingzhou. He was literate and flexible in mind, so he was sent to Gaodu to perform tasks earlier.

Chen Lang asked, "Where are you from Gaodu?"

Li Dagon clasped his fist and said, "Subordinates are from Lijia Village near Gaodu."

"How many people are there in the entire Gao, and what is the strength of the rebels?"

"Returning to the son, the entire Gaodu plus the surrounding county town originally had 100,000 residents, but after the raging Huns, I am afraid that less than half are left. At present, these people are gathered in the Gaodu city. According to the subordinates. The last time I came here, I learned that there were about 10,000 rebels in the entire Gaodu."

"Huh? There are cavalry coming over there!" An entourage suddenly pointed to the northwest and shouted.

Chen Lang looked in the direction of his fingers, and he saw hundreds of cavalry rushing from the north. The wallet was a large cloak, which was clearly the Huns cavalry. Although the main city of Binzhou is still controlled by the Han people, the vast villages and towns and the open fields are the places where the Huns cavalry raged. Although the Huns had suffered a lot from the Yingyang army’s counterattack before, the Huns did not escape to the north because the Yingyang army did not go deep and quickly withdrew at that time. There are still a considerable number of Huns. People stay in Shangdang County and come out from time to time to wreak havoc. Although they can't help the well-defended Jiancheng, those villages and towns that lack protection can be unlucky. From time to time, villages and counties are ransacked by the Huns. . When the world was in chaos, the people became lambs to be slaughtered by foreigners.

Oh oh oh! There was a rapid loud cry from the height of the city. It seems that the rebels in Gaodu City also noticed the sudden appearance of the Huns and issued an alarm.

Chen Lang told his followers not to move, he himself rushed into the middle of the Xiongnu cavalry with the Qinglong Yanyue knife. In a blink of an eye, Chen Lang rushed to the front of the Xiongnu leader, shouted loudly, and swung a big knife to slash the front door of the Xiongnu leader! Under the shock of the Xiongnu leader, he hurriedly raised his mace to block! Between the electric light and flint, the big knife split open the mace led by the Huns and slashed heavily on his front door! Suddenly the blood flew up, and the Xiongnu leader turned back and fell off his horse before he could scream! Seeing this scene, the rest of the Huns cavalry were so frightened that they screamed and turned their horses to flee for their lives!

Seeing someone from outside the city suddenly beheaded the Xiongnu leader and scattered the Huns cavalry, everyone was shocked. After a long while, cheers rang from the top of the city.

Chen Lang led his entourage to the city gate, and Li Dang shouted: "I am Li Dang, as agreed to bring my general to see the prefect! Open the city gate!"

The sergeant guarding the gate recognized Li Gun, and when he heard these words, he quickly opened the gate of the city. Chen Lang and his party entered the city.

Gaodu now Li Bo hurried out of the gate of the county office. Seeing Chen Lang and his group approaching majestic and majestic, he couldn't help being disappointed and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Gaodu County magistrate Li Bo has seen the general!"

Chen Lang took a look at the visitors, and saw that the county magistrate was a tall and thin 60-year-old old man with a kind temperament and a gentle attitude. It is hard to imagine that such a kind elder could organize the rebels against a wolf like a wolf. Huns like tigers!

Chen Lang got off his horse, clasped his fist and said: "The magistrate Li does not need to be polite. It is admirable for the magistrate Li to lead his fathers and fellow villagers to resist foreign humiliation!"

Li Bo smiled, "The general has passed the award!" Then he asked: "The general, please come in!"

Li Bo invited Chen Lang and the others into the county hall, and immediately hosted a banquet. At the same time, he arranged a special person for wine and meat to entertain the entourage Chen Lang had brought.
