Chapter 491: Jiaolong enters the sea, and the tiger enters Luoyang
Tongbai Mountain.
Huaiyuan.
This is said to be the source of Huaishui, Li Mi since the defeat of Nanyang, all the way east, but in the end still did not escape from the encirclement, was captured by a group of villagers in Huaiyuan County.
At the same time, there were seven or eight people around Li Mi who were arrested, but fortunately, Li Mi was smarter, and when Nanyang was defeated, he did not flee south, but fled east. I threw away the things that could show my identity early, changed into the clothes of an ordinary pawn, and my face was very dirty, and my hair was scattered and pulled up casually.
So when he was caught, he claimed to be Wang Deren, just an ordinary bewitched farmer.
The team searched for a long time, but they didn't find any identification from the group of people who insisted that they were farmers in Qi County. Thinking that they were Luo Shuai's fellow county and township party, the team of township warriors decided to send them to the county government first, and then receive the reward. As for the rest, I don't care.
Li Mi and his party were strung together by a rope.
"Our fate is like morning dew at this time, it will be over at any time, if we can't escape halfway, wait until we are sent to the county office, and then send to the prisoner camp, we will definitely expose our identities, and when the time comes, we will definitely die."
Li Mi didn't want to die yet, although the rebellion failed, but the green mountains that could be left were there, so he was not afraid of running out of firewood.
"Brother, I still have some gold hidden on me."
The one who spoke was the captain of the guard who fled with Li Mi, named Wang Zhongbo, with good martial arts, although Li Mi repeatedly confessed when he fled, throwing away all the things that could reveal his identity, but the captain of the five big and three thick still couldn't bear the gold, so he hid a little.
He hid it very well, and he didn't find it when Xiang Yong searched his body just now.
Li Mi didn't care about blaming him at this time, and thought for a while, "This gold may be able to save the lives of a few of us." ”
He called the captain of the squad in Xiangyong and told him that he still had some gold hidden here.
"Several of our brothers participated in the rebellion, although they were coerced, but they definitely won't survive. If we don't bring this bit of gold in life or in death, we still give it to you, brothers, and we don't want anything more than to hope for a few full meals at the end. ”
The team leader searched according to what Li Mi said, and sure enough, he found a few gold leaves, not much, but the gold is valuable, and these gold leaves can be worth dozens of dollars together, and he is very happy at the moment.
"Don't worry, since you are so sensible, then I will definitely take good care of you along the way, so that you can enjoy it before leaving."
The leader of the squad is indeed a very simple person, he is only a peasant in the township, if he is replaced by a treacherous servant here, maybe Li Mi and they will not have such a good result.
The man took the money, consulted with a dozen brothers, and then decided to divide it equally, and of course, he also talked about it, and took out some money to buy some food and drinks on the way for the unlucky people to eat.
So, along the way, Li Mi had a good chat with this little countryman, every day, he could drink some wine and eat some side dishes, although the wine was cheap wine, and the dishes were ordinary, but it was already good.
One night two days later.
Nice moonlight.
A breeze.
The team stayed overnight in a village at the foot of the mountain, and the villagers took out money to buy some chickens, ducks, dried meat, etc., and got some water and wine, and set up a table.
"I'll be in the county tomorrow, and my brother will have a hearty meal, which can be regarded as sending you on your last journey."
"Thank you." Li Mi pretended to be sad.
Li Mi is very good at saying that he can drink more, ordinary country water wine is actually not very strong, but most of the villagers are just ordinary villagers, and they usually have few opportunities to drink.
And Li Mi, who was already drunk and lying on the table, raised his head at this time, his eyes were a little drunk, but he was not drunk to the point where he couldn't get up.
Looking at the drunk Xiang Yong, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.
Li Mi pulled out a knife from Xiang Yong's waist, cut the rope on Wang Zhongbo's wrist, and then asked him to help him cut the rope, and the last group of people all untied it.
"What about these people?" Wang Bozhong refers to the drunken Xiangyong.
Li Mi stretched out his palm and made a wiping motion on his neck, Wang Zhongbo nodded in understanding, and then led his subordinates to solve the team of Xiangyong one by one in a drunken dream.
Killed someone and snatched the knife, Li Mi and his party fled into the vast night.
Li Mi escaped, Li Zixiong was more unlucky, he ran far away, but in the end he was caught, but he failed to escape on the way and was escorted to Luo Chengjun.
At this time, Luo Cheng had already received the order to rush to Luoyang to meet the holy driver, and in the face of this brave veteran, Luo Cheng could only shake his head and order him to be locked up and taken away.
On the tenth day of the first month of June, Luo Cheng led his troops to arrive outside Luoyang City and stationed on the shore of Luoshui.
The army had already come out of the city to greet them and arrange a place for them to camp.
"Please Luo Shuai will temporarily station his subordinates here, and please restrain his subordinates, don't leave the camp, and don't enter Luoyang City for the time being, so as not to make any trouble, as for other food and grass supplies, they will be delivered regularly."
"Your Majesty has a decree to order Luo Shuai to enter the palace tomorrow."
After speaking, the man left, and Luo Cheng didn't care.
Don't let the soldiers enter the city, but also said in the past, after all, Luoyang is the capital, and it can be regarded as a grace of heaven to let them garrison near Luoyang City, you see Wei Wensheng's Guanlong and Henan reinforcements, at this time, they are not even qualified to come to Luoyang, and they have been ordered to return to their original places in Nanyang.
After arranging the soldiers and horses, Cunxiao and other cadres and colonels shouted that they wanted to enter Luoyang City, the eastern capital, to see this world of flowers.
"I'm going to face you tomorrow, so I have to buy good clothes today, otherwise it's rude to face the saint like this." Cun Xiao smiled and smiled.
"That's it, I haven't been to a big city like Luoyang, and it is said that it has a population of one million."
"Not so much, although Luoyang City is larger than Daxing City, only the outer city and the imperial city and the palace city combined, at most 300,000 people, but there are still a lot of soldiers and horses stationed in the north and south suburbs of the Imperial Garden, especially now that many new recruits are recruited, so together, there are more than 400,000 people, if the population of Henan County outside Luoyang is also included, it is estimated that there are six or seven hundred thousand."
Changshi Hou Mo Chen said.
"Ah, if you add up the population of the entire Henan County and Luoyang, it is less than a million? Impossible, right? ”
"It's impossible, just go into the city and take a look, besides, even if it is a city with a population of only 100,000, it can still be called an urban giant city."
"100,000 is not much, but when we captured Pyongyang, more than 200,000 people were taken prisoner from Pyongyang City and its surroundings." Cunxiao said with a disdainful face, how could only 100,000 people shock him.
"Hahaha, yes, our four generals have seen strong winds and waves, let's go, but after a while, we will enter Luoyang City, but you have to be careful, this Luoyang City is not only splendid and prosperous, but also full of relatives and magnates, in any carriage, it may be the family of which Guogong, or the relatives of which Shangshu Shilang, be careful not to offend."
