Chapter 223
Sometimes it's really hard to imagine how stupid humans can be.

It was as if the whole world must be revolving around him, knowing that some traverser would not dare to die like this.

On the second day after Wei Min arrived in Taiyuan County, he was attacked by many different forces.

Fortunately, he was surrounded by the guards of the city, so there were no casualties, but the other party was full of teasing, killed many ordinary people, and hung their bodies on the square in front of the county guard.

The leader is a tribe of Hu people from Xiliang, said to be a powerful tribe led by the younger brother of King Zuo Xian of the Huns.

I originally thought that the barbarians had been killed, and they dared not invade the territory of my big man again, and I didn't want to jump out to kill another one.

Moreover, the opponent's methods were extremely cruel. They set up a large number of wooden stakes at the gate of the city, and put the Han people alive on the wooden stakes, and tied stones under their feet to bear the weight.

If Wei Min hadn't gone north this time, not only had fifty city guards accompany him to protect him, but he had also secretly brought a dozen thunderbolts with him, these barbarians would probably want to kill them.

But they are guilty of killing one Han Chinese. Their crimes are too numerous to write down when so many Han people are killed.

Wei Yan sent the information to Anyi the next day, and while applying for rescue, he also asked Wei Cheng to prepare for the possibility of the Hu people going south.

However, Wei Cheng happened to be in "retreat" at that time, and Xu Chu was a rigid person. If Wei Cheng didn't take the initiative to come out, he would never let anyone in to disturb Wei Cheng.

So, this matter dragged on for three days.

When Wei Cheng came to Dingjunfang, the members of the City Guards and Longshan Army were already ready to go.

Xu Huang sat beside the sand table with a gloomy face. On the grassland in the north of Bingzhou, he wrote a few large characters [kill] with a wooden stick.

Seeing Wei Cheng coming in, Xu Huang and others hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Facing Wei Cheng, no matter how anxious they were, they still had to have the proper etiquette, which was the minimum respect for the lord.

After Zhang Fei clasped his fists together, he said impatiently, "My lord, these barbarians deserve to die!"

Wei Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at Xun Yu who was beside him, and said in a cold tone, "Wen Ruo, tell me what's going on now."

Xun Yu arched his hands, and took out the information sent by Wei Min in the past few days.

It turned out that after that night, the Hu people tried to attack a few more times, but fortunately they were resisted by Wei Yan and the local aristocratic family.

However, without Lei Zhenzi's deterrence, and Wei Min only had fifty city guards under his command, he was still a little flustered when facing more than ten thousand Hu Renjing cavalry, and the opponent soon found out the truth.

Just in the early hours of yesterday, the Hu people launched a fierce offensive, concentrating all their forces, and after breaking through the north gate of Taiyuan County, they entered the city and slaughtered a large number of people and burned a large number of buildings. Wei Min had no choice but to lead his people to retreat to the inner city .

This inner city is the oldest city in Taiyuan. It originated from the outer city captured by the Hu people during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was a new city that was later expanded.

"How many troops do the barbarians have?" Wei Cheng frowned.

Xun Yu said solemnly: "At present, there should be more than one of the Southern Huns, with a total force of more than [-]."

The so-called Southern Xiongnu is a foreign tribe attached to our great Han. The history books say that Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu are friends with foreign tribes. In fact, it refers to this group of foreign tribes, not the northern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Dingling and other grassland tribes in the true sense. .

"Wait, you said it was the Southern Huns who attacked Taiyuan?" Wei Cheng's expression changed, and Dong Zhuo came to mind.

This fellow Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns, and he is very well-known among the Southern Huns. Apart from having a wide range of friends, many generals are also from the Southern Huns. Could it be...

Xun Yu nodded and said, "That's right, this Wumoxie Shanyu is indeed a well-known general among the Southern Huns. He also has another identity, that is, the younger brother of King Zuo Xian, and this King Zuo Xianyu also means the prince of the Southern Huns."

Tian Feng said at this time: "Wen Ruo and I speculated that this Umoxie Chanyu took the opportunity to seize the Shanyu position after the death of Zuoxian King, and then had to start a war against me in Hedong in order to frighten the people. Among them, there may be some Dong Zhuo added fuel to the flames, because intelligence revealed that there were Qiang people among them."

Wei Cheng's face changed. If there are Qiang people among them, it must have something to do with Dong Zhuo. If the Qiang people want to go east to Bingzhou, they must pass through Dong Zhuo's Xiliang base camp, otherwise they will have to go around and go south. There may be a conflict with the Northern Huns.

Xun Yu pointed to a pass on the sand table and said, "Just last night, the frontier army from Shangjun came to report that the Qiang people had entered the boundary of Bingzhou seven days ago, and the west side of this pass is the north of Xiliang. The defenders are Dong Zhuo's strong general Hua Xiong."

"Hua Xiong?"

Wei Cheng squinted his eyes. In this way, this matter has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo.

In fact, it's normal when you think about it. Dong Zhuo's doing this is nothing more than trying to distract Wei Cheng's attention, so as to prevent Wei Cheng from being drawn in by Yuan Shao and his ilk. , the pressure on Dong Zhuo is different.

It's just that Dong Zhuo shouldn't have played tricks with Wei Cheng and killed so many innocent people.

"Mr. Xu obeys orders!"

Wei Cheng's face was terribly gloomy, he had no intention of participating in it, but Fatty Dong did it himself.

How stupid would you say a man can be?
Can you think of using internal friction to fight internal friction?
Wei Cheng thought of a person under Dong Zhuo's command...Jia Xu.

In terms of poisonous tactics, no one in his time could come up with the right one. Let the Hu people kill the Han people, so as to anger Wei Cheng and hinder the possibility of Wei Cheng uniting to discuss Dong. Only he can come up with this kind of strategy.

It's just that no matter who came up with this strategy, they must pay for the burial of those Han people who died innocently.

Wei Cheng looked at Xu Huang, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately lead the [-] city guards north to Taiyuan, no matter what method you use, I want those foreigners to come and go... Xu Dujun, go tell Chengtou, the logistics will fully cooperate , Xu Zongbing can use any weapon he wants."

Xu Huang stood up and clasped his fists, Xu Ding cupped his hands in response.

Wei Cheng looked at Xun Yu and Zhang Fei again, and said loudly: "You two lead the five hundred Longshan Army to Xiliang, and I want Hua Xiong's head."

Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Dong Zhuo, the Qiang people were let in by Hua Xiong, so he will have to pay the price.

"My lord, should we find out the truth first?" Xun Yu proposed.

Wei Cheng frowned and said: "No need to investigate, even if it has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, I still want to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. The Taiyuan Wang family has only been exterminated for more than half a month. At this juncture, there are still people who dare to cheat with foreigners. If we don't do anything, our previous deterrence will have little effect. Not anymore."

···
At the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou, there is a small rammed earth city called Shangshanbao.

Cao Cao stood at the top of the city and looked to the northwest, holding the information he had just obtained in his hand.

A thin scribe behind him sat on the wooden fence, glanced at the information, and threw the information into the brazier without changing his face.

When Cao Cao saw this, he didn't intend to stop him, but said politely: "Zhicai, everything is as you expected, the Qiang people did attract Wei's attention, and Wei Zhongdao must have attributed the culprit to Dong Zhuo at this time. You've used your estrangement just right."

The thin scribe looked up at the sky, wondering if he had moved too much, so he couldn't help coughing twice.

After recovering, he cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said, "My lord, it's better to be careful. Wei Zhongdao is not easy. Once he finds out that we are behind it, the ensuing anger, I'm afraid..."

The skinny scribe didn't say anything explicitly, but Cao Cao knew it well and nodded in agreement: "Yes, now is not the time to take it lightly. We have to take Dong Zhuo down quickly while Wei Zhongdao and Dong Zhuo's heart works."

Under the rammed earth wall, Xiahou Dun brought a crude carriage over.

"My lord, Mr. Xi, you can set off now."

Hearing this, Cao Cao respectfully stepped forward to help the emaciated scribe, and said worriedly: "When Dong Zhuo is taken down, Cao will definitely find Hua Tuo, the world's miracle doctor, to cure your illness for Zhicai."

The thin scribe waved his hand indifferently, "Your Majesty, I'm worrying too much. I'm making fun of someone with a tuberculosis. It doesn't matter if I die."
