Chapter 35 The Peerless Horse (Part 2)
Meng Da was so proud that he heard that his reputation was spread to Luoyang. Dong Zhuo was cruel and tyrannical, and he was aware of it. He also did things that were abolished and abolished, and lost all his heart. If he could defeat Dong Zhuo, he would have fulfilled his wish for his whole life.
But can this lonely army really defeat the 200,000 troops in Xizhou? Meng Da asked Huang Shangshu to sit down in the study and raised his own questions.
Huang Shang gently waved the feather fan and explained the general trend of the world to Meng Da with a smile.
Today, the princes rise up, and the governors and prefects all over the country hold their own troops. Since Dong Zhuo gained power and the world is in a rebellion, the princes of Guandong have formed an alliance to fight Dong Zhuo together. At present, the coalition forces of each town will soon gather together. Dong Zhuo cannot resist the command of the troops, so he will inevitably move the capital to Chang'an, borrow the lords, and he will definitely defend the princes of Guandong.
Due to Dong Zhuo's cruel and greedy nature, he would plunder and loot before leaving Luoyang, or force the people to move to Chang'an. He slept in the open and millions of people in Luoyang, but most of them would die on the way west!
When Meng Da heard the amazing prospect described by Huang Shang, his face was pale and cold sweat was pouring down. Millions of people were about to die east of Chang'an. How terrifying the miserable scene!
Luoyang will be burned to white land. If the princes of Guandong take advantage of the situation to march, wouldn’t it be very dangerous to have Chang'an, including the counties of Youfufeng?
Meng Da was a little shocked and hurriedly asked Huang Shang for advice humbly.
Huang Shang laughed with a fan and said that he had already reached this point, so he wanted to borrow troops from the prefect of Xiliang Ma Teng to attack Dong Zhuo's base and first take Liangzhou into his hands. Dong Zhuo was intercepted and he would be panicked. If he could take advantage of the situation to conquer Chang'an, where would Dong Zhuo move the capital to?
"But will Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, borrow troops?" Meng Da asked.
"Ma Teng is loyal to the country and can be trusted. Even Han Sui, as long as he has the opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo to expand his power, will he not do it?" Wuliang Zhiwang said with a smile.
Meng Da sighed: "Dong Zhuo is gone, Ma Teng and Han are rising again, and the princes of Guandong are all unjust, and the world will be in chaos after all!"
Huang Shangyi smiled and said, "I have been thinking about this matter. Today, there must be one person who will lead the army to serve the king, eliminate Dong Ni, and then support the emperor, order the princes, and slowly weaken the governors of various places, and seize their military power. Those who are willing to obey orders will be granted the title of Xianguan and reward them with generous salaries. Those who do not follow will be rebelled and can send troops to pacify one by one. Use military force to intimidate them and lure them with generous salaries. The prefects of various places will inevitably let the power and the emperor, and the world will gradually be settled."
Next, Meng Da listened to Huang Shang's detailed explanation of how to weaken the power of the prefect who was respectful to the people in various places to safeguard the world. As if he was enlightened, his eyes suddenly became clear and he said happily: "If there is such a person, it would be a great blessing in the world! Can you tell me who can take this responsibility?"
Huang Shang gently shook the feather fan and smiled proudly: "The only two people in the world have this strength: I and my friend, General Liu Sha, can take on this important task!"
The passionate young man in front of him heard that he had saved the empress dowager with him. The young emperor left Luoyang's general Liu Sha was his friend. Without hesitation, he fell to the ground and said, "Lord! Meng Da is willing to work hard for all his life and help the lord to equate the world!"
Huang Shang was overjoyed and personally helped Meng Da and appointed him as the chief clerk of the army. In addition to being in charge of documents, he also had to be an accountant in charge of money and grain.
In this way, Wuliangzhiwang had a clever confidant with a lot of wisdom, and he was very proud of his heart and talked to him when he was idle. Meng Da was often stunned by his unique views on things and his strange thoughts, and was deeply proud of having such a knowledgeable lord.
He bid farewell to his parents, left his hometown, and followed the Imperial Guards all the way to Xiliang. Although he became familiar with the generals on the way, he always felt out of place with those martial artists. He still liked to stay with his lord on weekdays. From his daily conversations, he could always learn some knowledge that was not in books.
At this time, he heard that the lord was going to the grassland with the general to catch the horses, and curiously followed him.
Xu Huang next to him has always disliked literati, especially when he looked at Meng Da, and heard him laughing and said, "Will there be a good horse if there are too many grasses? Then I tied a donkey to the grassland. Will it grow into a good horse in a few years?"
Meng Da blushed and said angrily: "The general is right. If you tie the general to the grassland, you can travel thousands of miles a day in less than half a month!"
Xu Huang was furious and urged the horse to go over, then punched him, scolding: "You are sour, how dare you call me a donkey and horse!"
Huang Shang laughed secretly when he heard this, stretched out his hand, blocked Xu Huang's iron fist, and smiled and said, "But just make a joke for a moment, don't hurt the harmony!"
Xu Huang punched the feather fan, and suddenly realized that the feather fan, which should be extremely soft, was as hard as iron. He immediately bounced his fist back, which made his right fist numb, and he said in his heart: "The military advisor is so strong! That fan is also strange, so don't mess with him."
Seeing that the two of them glared at each other, Huang Shang taught earnestly: "Everyone is the same palace as the minister. This is the time to support the Han Dynasty and eliminate Dong's thieves. How can they fight each other and harm their brothers and sisters? You can't do this again in the future!"
The two of them were blushed and bowed their heads to receive teachings.
Seeing that although they bowed their heads, Huang Shang was still dissatisfied, afraid that they would fight in the future, he laughed and said in a secret smile: "Although Meng Da is very skilled in martial arts, he is still far worse than Xu Huang, and he will have more days to be beaten in the future."
He has always been afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Although he stopped the two of them from fighting, he was gloating in his heart. He was thinking about how to practice Meng Da's martial arts and prevent him from losing too badly. He had the chance to turn around and beat Xu Huang into a pig's head. Suddenly he remembered: "It seems that when Xu Huang was fifty-nine years old, he was shot to death by Meng Da with an arrow!"
I remember that in the Three Kingdoms era in the past, Meng Da offended Liu Bei and was forced to surrender to Wei. Later, he planned to surrender to Shu and destroy Wei, but Sima Yi discovered it and sent Xu Huang and others to arrest him. Although Meng Da shot Xu Huang with an arrow, he was chopped off his head by Sima Yi's subordinates in the chaos the next day, and he could be regarded as a pair of brothers and brothers in the troubled army.
A wolf howl came from far ahead, and everyone was disgraced.
Before they came, they heard that the grassland wolf pack was large and difficult to deal with. Now they only have more than 30 people. If they encounter a large wolf pack, they are afraid that most of them will become wolf-mouthed meat.
Feng Sha was not afraid at all, but was a little excited and urged the horse to run forward.
After running two miles forward, I gradually saw that on the vast grassland, a large number of wild wolves were running wildly, each with their teeth and claws, and their evil appearance was terrifying.
Feng Sha reached out and took off the iron-tied bow. Just as he was about to put on the eagle arrow, he reached out to him, pressed the bowstring and said in a deep voice: "Boss, don't do it first, wait!"
Several of the wild wolves also noticed them, but they just glanced at them, turned their heads and ran forward, crossing the cavalry, ignoring them.
The soldiers were shocked and had never seen such an ignorant wolf. Their indifference was comparable to the general.
The wolves ran to their left in a mess, and Feng Sha and Huang Shang led 30 iron cavalry to follow closely.
After running for several miles, Meng Da suddenly looked happy and slapped his horse and shouted, "Sure enough, there is a good horse!"
On the prairie in front of us, countless extremely handsome horses appeared, eating grass and drinking water on the prairie. Several toned stallions were still surrounding the beautiful mares and showing their attentiveness to them.
Xu Huang's eyes were straightened. Although he wanted to say that wild horses were not the same as good horses, he saw so many horses that he was so greedy that he drooled down. He just wanted to ride on one of them for a ride on the grassland as soon as possible, so how could he even bother to bicker with Meng Da?
Yang Feng was also moved. All of these wild horses were good horses, and they were many times better than the horses he rode now. However, the wild horses were always unwilling to be controlled. It seemed like a difficult thing to catch them and let them obey their commands.
The hundreds of wild wolves were also a little scared when they saw more than a thousand wild horses gathered here. Suddenly, they saw more than a dozen wolf corpses in the distance. Their eyes turned red, and they raised their necks and let out an angry howl. They took big steps and rushed towards the horses like arrows leaving the string.
The wild horse king had sharp eyes. From a distance, he saw a group of wolves coming to seek revenge. He had already ordered his subordinates to set up a defensive formation, which was actually a mare. The ponies hid behind, and the strong stallion surrounded outside, facing the enemy wolf.
