Sometimes, it's really hard to imagine how stupid humans can be.
It's as if the whole world must be revolving around him, even a time traveler wouldn't dare to commit suicide like this.
The day after Wei Min arrived in Taiyuan County, he was attacked by multiple different forces.
Fortunately, he was protected by the city guard, and there were no casualties. However, the other party was full of teasing, killing many ordinary people, and hanging their bodies in the square in front of the county guard station.
The leader was a Hu tribe from Xiliang, said to be a powerful tribe led by the brother of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.
I originally thought that the barbarians had been killed and they would not dare to invade my Han territory again. I didn't want another one to come out and seek death.
Moreover, the other party's methods were extremely cruel. They set up a large number of wooden stakes at the city gate and impaled the Han people alive on the wooden stakes, with stones tied to their feet to bear weight. At dawn, the wooden stakes protruded from their mouths, and they died in a miserable manner.
If Wei Min hadn't gone north this time, not only were fifty city guards accompanying him to protect him, but he also secretly brought a dozen thunder bombs with him, these barbarians would probably have gone on a killing spree.
But they are guilty of killing one Han, and their sins are too numerous to describe if so many Hans were killed.
Wei Min 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.
Therefore, this matter was delayed for three days.
When Wei Cheng arrived at Dingjunfang, the members of the City Guards and Longshan Army were already ready to go.
Xu Huang sat next to the sand table with a gloomy expression. On the grassland north of Bingzhou, he used a wooden stick to write several large words "kill".
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. This was the most basic respect for their lord.
After Zhang Fei cupped his fists, he said impatiently: "Sir, these barbarians deserve to die!"
Wei Cheng walked to the main seat and sat down. He looked at Xun You and said in a cold tone: "Wen Ruo, please tell me what's going on now."
Xun You raised his hand 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 several times, but fortunately, Wei Min and the local aristocratic families jointly resisted them.
However, without the intimidation of Lei Zhenzi, and Wei Min only had fifty city guards under his command, he was still a little confused when facing more than ten thousand barbarian elite cavalry, and the reality was soon discovered by the opponent.
Just in the early hours of yesterday, the Hu people launched a fierce offensive. They concentrated all their forces and broke through the north gate of Taiyuan County. They entered the city and massacred a large number of people and burned a large number of buildings. Wei Min had no choice but to lead his men to retreat inside.
city.
This inner city is the oldest city in Taiyuan. It originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The outer city was captured by the Hu people and was later expanded to the new city.
"How many troops do the Hu people have?" Wei Cheng frowned.
Xun You said in a deep voice: "At present, there should be more than one Southern Xiongnu group, with a total strength of more than 50,000."
The so-called Southern Xiongnu is a foreign tribe that is attached to the Han Dynasty. It is said in the history books that Dong Zhuo and Liu Yu were friendly with foreigners. In fact, it refers to this group of foreigners, not the real northern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, Dingling and other grassland tribes.
.
"Wait a minute, you said those who attacked Taiyuan were the Southern Huns?" Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he thought of Dong Zhuo in his mind.
Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns, and he is very well-known among the Southern Huns. In addition to having a wide circle of friends, many of his generals are also from the Southern Huns. Could it be that...
Xun You nodded and said: "Yes, this Wumoye Chanyu is indeed a famous general among the Southern Huns. He also has another identity, that is, the younger brother of King Zuoxian. This King Zuoxian also means the crown prince of the Southern Huns."
Tian Feng said at this time: "Wen Ruo and I speculated that Wumoxie Chanyu took the opportunity to seize the Chanyu position after the death of King Zuoxian, and then in order to frighten the tribe, he had to go to war with me in Hedong. Among them, there may be some
Dong Zhuo added fuel to the flames because intelligence revealed that the other party had Qiang people among them."
Wei Cheng's expression changed. If there were Qiang people among them, they must have something to do with Dong Zhuo. If the Qiang people want to move eastward to Bingzhou, they must pass through Dong Zhuo's Xiliang base camp, otherwise they will have to go south in a circle.
There may be a conflict with the Northern Huns.
Xun You pointed at a pass on the sand table and said: "Just last night, the border troops from Shangjun came to report that the Qiang people entered the boundary of Bingzhou seven days ago, and the west side of this pass is the north of Xiliang
The defender is Dong Zhuo's powerful general Hua Xiong."
"Hua Xiong?"
Wei Teng narrowed his eyes. From this point of view, this matter has something to do with Dong Zhuo.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. Dong Zhuo did this just to distract Wei Cheng and prevent Wei Cheng from being attracted by Yuan Shao and his like. An alliance to demand Dong with Wei Cheng would be different from an alliance to demand Dong without Wei Cheng.
, the pressure exerted on Dong Zhuo is different.
However, Dong Zhuo should not have played tricks with Wei Cheng and killed so many innocent people.
"General Xu, listen to the order!"
Wei Cheng's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He had no intention of getting involved, but Fatty Dong did it on his own.
How stupid can a person be?
Can you actually think of using internal friction to fight against internal friction?
Wei Teng thought of someone under Dong Zhuo's command... Jia Xu.
In terms of poisonous plots, no one of his generation could come up with the right one. Let the barbarians kill the Han people to anger Wei Cheng and hinder the possibility of Wei Cheng joining forces to attack Dong. Only he could come up with such a plan.
However, no matter who came up with this plan, 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 three thousand city guards north to Taiyuan. No matter what method you use, I want those foreigners to never come back... Governor Xu, go and talk to Chengtou, and the logistics will cooperate fully."
, whatever weapons Mr. Xu wants will do."

Wei Cheng looked at Xun You and Zhang Fei again, and said loudly: "You two will lead five hundred Longshan troops to Xiliang. I want Hua Xiong's head."
Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Dong Zhuo or not, Hua Xiong let the Qiang people in, so he will have to pay the price.
"Sir, do you want to find out the truth first?" Xun You suggested.
Wei Qing frowned and said: "No need to check, even if it has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, I still want to attack the mountain to shock the tigers. It has only been more than half a month since the Wang family in Taiyuan was exterminated. At this juncture, there are still people who dare to liaise with foreigners. If we don't do something, our previous deterrence will have little effect."
No more."
···
At the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou, there is a small rammed earth city called Shangshan Fort.
Cao Cao stood at the top of the city and looked to the northwest, holding the intelligence he had just received in his hand.
Behind him, a thin scribe sat on the wooden fence. After glancing at the information, he threw the information into the brazier beside him without changing his expression.
When Cao Cao saw this, he had no intention of stopping him, but said politely: "Zhicai, everything is as you expected. The Qiang people have indeed attracted the attention of the Wei family. Presumably Wei Zhongdao has already attributed the culprit to Dong Zhuo by this time.
Your divisive plan was used just right."
The thin scribe raised his head and glanced at the sky. Not sure if his movements were too big, he couldn't help coughing twice.
After he regained his breath, he bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said: "My lord, it is better to be careful. Wei Zhongdao is not simple. Once he finds out that we are the one causing the obstruction, I'm afraid he will be furious..."
The thin scribe did not say it clearly, but Cao Cao knew it well and nodded in agreement: "Yes, now is not the time to take it lightly. We must take advantage of Wei Zhongdao and Dong Zhuo's mutual understanding to quickly capture Dong Zhuo."
Under the rammed earth wall, Xiahou Dun brought a simple carriage over.
"Lord, Mr. Xi, you can set off."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao respectfully stepped forward to help the emaciated scribe, and said worriedly: "When Dong Zhuo is captured, Cao will definitely find Hua Tuo, the world's miracle doctor, to cure your illness."
The skinny scribe waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "My lord, you are worrying too much. You are playing with someone's diseased body. It's okay if it's not cured."
