Time advances.

On the morning of the next day, the officers and men of the three armies assembled in the east of the city.

Lu Bu, who served as the commander of this trip, rode on the back of a red horse, wearing a beast-faced swallowing armor and a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, and his handsome face exuded a faint majesty. Wen Ji carried the halberd on his right shoulder, held the horse rope in his left hand, opened the way for Lu Bu, and walked forward slowly.

The Son of Heaven came to the city, and hundreds of officials sent him off under the city.

This Hongdae scene alone is extraordinary.

When Lu Bu walked through the city gate, the officials lined up, stood on both sides of the road, and bowed their hands one after another, saying greetings such as 'Great Sima Triumphant' and 'Sweep away the rebels as soon as possible'.

Indifferently glanced at the hundreds of officials, Lu Bu did not get off the horse, but just hugged everyone on the horseback, which was considered a return of courtesy.

Seeing this, although many people were annoyed by Lu Bu's arrogance, they still greeted each other with a smile on their faces.

To put it mildly, in the Guanzhong area today, the words that come out of Lu Bu's mouth are sometimes even better than the edicts of the court of the Son of Heaven.

"General, the officers and men of the three armies are ready, please show me." Huang Zhong, who was dressed in light yellow armor, stepped forward and reported to Lu Bu with his fists.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and he looked back at the city. There, there were many people who came to see them off voluntarily, but there were no wives and daughters.

This is also what Lu Bu himself meant, the two bastards are still young and don't understand anything, but their daughter's reluctance and sadness really make him feel distressed as a father.

Walking in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, Lu Bu looked at the dense crowd of black presses, he cleared his throat, and his voice was loud: "Sons, Your Majesty and the Central Secretary of the DPRK and the Central Committee came to see us off in person today, this is our glory." This trip to the east, we will fight to the death, sweep away the traitors, and live up to Your Majesty's grace! ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The soldiers who were aroused by Lu Bu raised their arms and shouted, their faces full of fanaticism, and they roared vigorously.

The shouts rose wave after wave, like the roaring waves of the sea, constantly surging and lapping.

Liu Xie stood at the head of the city, dressed in a noble black imperial robe, and looked at the rows of neatly waved arms, as well as the deafening mountain roar and tsunami, which made him feel extremely proud.

These are my soldiers!

His gaze went from far to near, and finally fell on the tall man with a broad back.

Lu Bu stretched out his right hand, his outstretched palm clenched his fist in the air, and with just one movement, the soldiers who were shouting feverishly suddenly quieted down, their bodies stood upright, and their eyes looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes.

This man was once his savior.

Liu Xie knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for this person, he might still be pinched by Dong Zhuo and bullied.

Therefore, Liu Xie has always treated Lu Bu with trust and respect.

It's just that now, somehow, especially when he saw Lu Bu's clenched fist just now, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all bowed their heads and listened to the order, Liu Xie asked himself, even if he is the son of heaven, he may not be able to have such a great deterrence.

At that moment, Liu Xie's heart rose uneasy for no reason.

There are both worries and fears.

With the lessons of the past, he was afraid that Lu Bu would become the second Dong Zhuo.

After instructing the officers and men of the three armies, Lu Bulema turned around, and the pouring sunlight fell on his angular face, adding a bit of brilliance.

Looking at the Son of Heaven at the head of the city, Lu Bu hugged his fists and said goodbye, he filled his body's qi, like a bell in a mountain temple, resounding in the heavens and the earth: "Your Majesty take care, minister-go!" ”

…………

The 50,000-strong army set out from Chang'an, mighty.

When passing through Hangu Pass, Gao Shun had already put on armor and stood under the pass to wait.

Behind him were eight hundred dead men with spears and iron armor.

As for the heavy responsibility of guarding Hangu Pass, it fell on Wei Musheng. Some time ago, Lu Bu specially sent someone to transfer Wei Musheng back from Xiaoguan and go to Hanguguan to serve as a general.

Wei Musheng was the first group of people to follow Lu Bu, and it can be said that he has been born and died countless times, not only loyal, but also excellent in strategy and martial arts.

Hanguguan was taken over by him, and Lu Bu could rest assured.

Having converged with Gao Shun, the army continued to move forward.

After more than half a month of marching, the 50,000-strong army finally arrived at the city of Luoyang.

Knowing that Lu Bu had arrived outside the city, Zhang Liao changed into armor and led a group of civil and military officials in the city to line up and go out of the city to greet him.

Chi Su's horse's hooves stopped, Lu Bu raised his hand, and all the soldiers behind him stopped marching.

Zhang Liao took the initiative to greet him, hugged his fists and saluted: "The last general, Zhang Liao, meet the general!" ”

All the officials behind him also bowed down, saluted, and shouted in unison: "The lower official (lowly position) has seen Da Sima!" ”

Lu Bu on horseback gently raised his hand and asked everyone to get up.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, he entered Luoyang.

Lu Bu lived in the original Luoyang mansion, as early as the capture of Luoyang, Zhang Liao had ordered someone to clean this Lu Bu's former mansion inside and out, the thick dust dusted off, and the whole mansion instantly took on a new look.

Returning to the former residence and sitting in the position of the head of the family, Lu Bu felt a lot of emotion.

Back then, this mansion was still given by the first emperor Liu Hong. Now that time has passed, Luoyang has become much more decayed, far less prosperous than it was back then.

People have to sigh with emotion, the vicissitudes of life, things are not people.

According to the information obtained by Zhang Liao, Cai Yong had arrived in Hanoi two days ago, and it is estimated that he was convincing Wang Kuang to surrender at this time.

Lu Bu let out an 'um' sound, indicating that he understood. He planned to rest in Luoyang for two days before marching to Hanoi to put pressure on Wang Kuang.

The subordinates sat down in the hall, and Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, the little guy who was still on his chest in the past is now also a heroic general, and this trip has also made great contributions to him.

"Wenyuan, this capture of Luoyang is your indispensable contribution. Say, whatever reward you want, I'll ask the court for you. Lu Bu smiled, he was very serious about Zhang Liao.

On the one hand, it was because the old general Zhang had the grace of cultivation in Lu Bu, and the second was that Zhang Liao himself had the ability, and third, Zhang Liao fought for his own strength and lived up to expectations.

When the generals under the hall heard this, they all cast envious glances at Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao received the order, many people still had the attitude of watching the show, after all, Zhang Liao was only in his early twenties, and in their eyes, he was still a hairy boy with no experience in commanding troops.

Now that Zhang Liao easily captured Luoyang, he also indirectly slapped many people in the face.

"General Hui, this battle is not my work alone, and it is thanks to the service of the officers and men of the whole army that Luoyang can be broken. If the general wants a reward, the last general implores the general to reward all the soldiers in battle. ”

Zhang Liao's answer was loud and echoed in the hall, making many people present embarrassed.

Lu Bu nodded secretly in his heart, Zhang Liao could still think about his soldiers at this time, which was enough to show that his mentality was far better than that of most generals.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged.

That's the way to go.
