The potter beckoned Xu Chu and asked him to gather the elite soldiers of the Xuzhou Tiger Guard, and with himself, Cao Cao and Wang Yun, he marched towards Luoyang City in the night.

Along the way, the potter repeatedly asked Cao Cao if he had any personal matters that he had to go to Luoyang, but Cao Cao always smiled and did not answer.

It wasn't until the end that there was no way to be rubbed by the potter, and Cao Cao said to the potter very mysteriously: "Cao just wants to find a person who has admired the name for a long time!" ”

For Cao Cao's trickery, what the potter gave was a big white eye.

The place where Tao, Cao and others camped was in the western suburbs of Luoyang, not far from the main city of Luoyang, and the speed of walking was not slow, and they arrived at the west gate of Luoyang in a short time.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang had more than 3,000 years of civilization and more than 2,200 years of history of city building in the land of China - myths such as Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu were all spread here. Xia Taikang moved the royal capital of Xi'an, and the royal capital of Shangtang was Xi'an, which is now the surrounding boundary of Luoyang; Then the 800 princes will Mengjin and Zhou Gongfu move Jiuding to Luoyi, King Ping moved eastward, and Guangwu Zhongxing is here or not far away.

There is no doubt that it was once the political, economic and cultural center of the Central Plains, and a transportation hub extending in all directions.

But that's just the time.

After Dong Zhuo's tyranny, burning, and looting, the current Luoyang is ten rooms and nine empty, and it is deserted.

After entering the city, although it is the middle of the night, but look at the pavilions, bluestone streets, houses and residences that once existed, but there is no longer the charm of the past, because of the deliberate destruction and become dilapidated, the ruins and broken walls are everywhere, the street can still see the stinking charred corpses from time to time, there are some residents who escaped the migration disaster to hide in the streets and corners of the city, unkempt, cursing and crying, everywhere is a miserable scene.

Based on these alone, one can imagine what a bleak and terrifying hellish scene it was on the day of the burning of the city.

Wang Yun was in the car, and when he saw such a situation along the way, he couldn't help but cry again and feel a lot of emotion.

Old man Wang didn't know how many times he cried in a few days, and there was no way, the stage where he had fought for half his life became like this in an instant, the career and dreams of the best years were here, just crying, it showed that the old man was very strong, and he was replaced by someone else...... Maybe weep to death.

The first city in the world, in just a few days, has become such a decaying thought, and has since been reduced to second-rate.

"What a wreck!" Cao Cao rode on his horse, waved his whip angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "The ancestors have exhausted their strength for thousands of years to make this place so prosperous, and the old thief is so easily burned, how immoral!" ”

The potter was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said: "Break and then stand...... Although it is a pity, but things have happened, there is no power to turn around, if the world is peaceful in the future, this city should be renovated and rebuilt, and the day of prosperity will be seen again. ”

At this time, he saw Diao Chan peeking his head out of the curtain of the frame, nodded lightly at the potter, and motioned if the potter could lean over a little.

The potter was puzzled and rode his horse over.

But seeing Diao Chan looking around, he whispered to the potter: "Childe, can you send some trustworthy guards to send the little girl to Situ Mansion." ”

The potter said curiously: "The girl is here, didn't she go with us to see Yuan Shao?" What do you do when you go to Situ Mansion? ”

Diao Chan smiled shyly, and said coquettishly: "The little woman is just a woman, what is it to go to see Yuan Gong...... It's just that the lottery head promised to the son last time was not fulfilled...... I always feel a little sorry for my son, and taking the opportunity to enter the city, the little girl wants to go to Situ Mansion to have a look...... What if the soft is not burned......"

Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but be a little more moved, and said: "Why should the girl be polite, Tao was just a joke that day, I can really ask if you want money?" ”

Diao Chan looked at the potter with a pair of beautiful eyes, and wondered: "Childe really doesn't want it?" ”

"Uh......" The potter hesitated when he heard this: "If the girl really doesn't have anything important...... It's okay to go back to Situ Mansion and have a look. ”

Hearing this, Diao Chan smiled coquettishly and gave the potter a soft look.

This man is not mouthful...... Obviously, I just want to do it, but I have to pretend to be serious.

The potter turned around and said to Xu Chu: "Let the four Pei brothers select half of the elite Tiger Guard warriors to protect the Diao Chan girl and go back to Situ Mansion to have a look." Then wait there, and when we're done, we'll go and make peace with them. ”

Xu Chu made a promise when he heard this, so he immediately arranged it.

…………………………

…………………………

Diao Chan could also ride horses, which was much more convenient, so she stated the details to Wang Yun, and said goodbye to the potters and Cao Zhang, and then went to the old site of Situ Mansion under the protection of the four Pei brothers and the Tiger Guards.

Cao Cao looked at the figures of these people leaving, and suddenly turned his head sideways and whispered to the pottery merchant: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good...... My Fair Lady, long-awaited ...... My Fair Lady, the ...... of Friends My Fair Lady, Bells and Drums! ”

The potter turned his head to look at Cao Cao in surprise, and said curiously, "Are you sick?" ”

Cao Cao's face was straight, and he said dissatisfiedly: "You are sick!" ”

"What kind of are you guilty of?"

Cao Cao smiled, revealing a smug look of a good hand, and educated: "Fool...... You can't see that this girl is interested in you! ”

The potter was surprised when he heard this: "How do you see it?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Cao Cao pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's not Cao who is boasting!" If you talk about the way of flowers, Cao is really a good hand, boy, you earned it! This woman is the most beautiful woman in the world, not to mention, but also the righteous daughter of Situ...... I heard that Wang Yun had three sons, but they were already their own doors, and the old man Wang had no daughters in his life, so he specially accepted this daughter as a righteous daughter...... Not to mention anything else, if you can accept him, wouldn't you be a relative of the Wang family? ”

The pottery merchant looked at Cao Cao inexplicably, and said curiously: "He is now just a bare-rod Situ with an empty official position, no power, no soldiers and no money, why should I go to relatives with him...... Isn't it rare? ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother Xian, are you really stupid or pretending to be crazy!" Wang Situ was born in the Wang family of Bingzhou. ”

Seeing that the potter still didn't understand, Cao Cao immediately explained to the potter, and after the potter listened for a while, combined with some of his own understanding of later generations, he suddenly realized and recalled.

And the state of Wang, tracing back to the origin, is the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, that is, the legendary Gongsun Xuanyuan, after Ji Jin to see the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, Ji Jin Zizong respectfully with the old Zhishi, to live in Taiyuan, when the people because of their royal identity, still called the Wang family, then to Wang as the surname, become the ancestor of the Wang family, and then lasted more than 700 so far, become the world's larger family door valve.

But now at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the royal family of Bingzhou, although it is also a rare family in the world, is not in the heyday, so the potter did not recall it for a while, but after a little time of thinking and association, the potter suddenly realized that the so-called Bingzhou Wang, the most glorious period in history is not now, it should be in the Wei, Jin and Tang dynasties.

And now the so-called Bingzhou Wang's is actually called another name, called Taiyuan Wang's. The Taiyuan Wang clan, in the next nearly 400 years, was listed as one of the 'five surnames and seven clans', and was one of the leaders of the Shi clan in the world from the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties in Chinese history.

Although the current Wang family has not had as much influence as it did in the next few hundred years, it is now a family with more than 700 years of heritage...... No wonder Cao Cao treated Wang Yun differently.

While the two were talking, they saw the soldiers and horses driving to a ruined house next to the bluestone street, and several soldiers under the command of unknown ones were moving out two large boxes and some ancient artifacts from it, which were obviously left behind after being swept away by Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be furious when he saw this.

"Duh! Who are your soldiers who dare to commit such a theft?! ”

The soldiers were taken aback when they heard this, but they quickly came to their senses!

I saw one of the chiefs leaning his head forward, and said dissatisfiedly: "We are the cavalry battalion army under the account of the rear general Yuan Gong, and we are searching the city on the order of the later general!" What are you going to say? ”

"How daring!" As soon as Cao Cao stretched out his hand, he was about to pull out the sword on his waist, but he saw that the potter reached out and pressed his hand that had touched the hilt of the sword, and said, "Brother Meng De, forget it, how many of them are doing this kind of thing in this city?" The soldiers of all the princes are probably collecting, if you kill these few, can you still kill all the soldiers and generals under the command of the princes? It's just nothing more than offending people. ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, slowly let go, and shouted at the soldiers: "Get out!" ”

Although those soldiers were not angry, they also saw that Cao Cao was not easy to provoke, and the soldiers and horses behind Cao Cao and the pottery merchant were neatly organized, and they knew that it was a big man who was patrolling the city.

They also knew each other, and one by one they didn't dare to say much, so they hurriedly carried their things and ran away.

Inside the car, Wang Yun let out a weak sigh and said, "Forget it, forget it...... The old man has seen too much of this kind of thing, and it is useless to manage it...... Let's go. ”
