Chapter 12 Moving West and East
Luoyang, the imperial capital of the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luoyang, the war is in chaos.
Since last year, the Liangzhou soldiers drove into Luoyang, the imperial capital was chaotic, the barbarian Hu soldiers were rampant in the streets, ** captivity and plundering were all evil, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Until this year, since January, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang has closed the revolving door, and the news in Guanzhong cannot get out, and the news from Kanto cannot come in, and it is even more chaotic.
Then, in February, it was rumored that the princes of the eastern part of the country had formed an alliance and raised troops, and gathered with Chen Liu, and the strength of the army could reach 200,000.
For a time, the government and the opposition shook.
The volunteers are the volunteers of the scholars, but they are by no means the volunteers of the people, nor are they the volunteers of the imperial court. In the eyes of the court and the people, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, and they are traitors to the party.
In the eyes of the people of Luoyang, they are not so much an alliance to fight against Dong, but an anti-Dong alliance. It's just that they don't recognize the status of the Central Plains Dynasty, and they have stationed troops in the Kwantung region. How can such soldiers and horses be reassured?
At the same time, the rumors of moving the capital have been confirmed, and the hearts of the people in Luoyang are fluctuating, and the people have moved one after another. or cross the Yellow River all the way to the north, or enter the Qinling Mountains in the south and flee to Yizhou.
"This, Dong Gong has sent a message!"
The Liangzhou soldiers in Sima Fang's Mansion had just left, and Sima Fang sat down on the couch, panting heavily, sweat soaking his body, and the open door blew in a cool breeze, making him feel a chill to the bone.
Dong Zhuo had an order, moved the capital to Luoyang, and Sima Fang, the imperial historian, should move west to Chang'an together. In this kind of eventful autumn, a fool wants to move to Chang'an together!
But the car is driving outside the house, and Dong Zhuo's message has reached here, what else can he do?
In the midst of the danger, Sima Fang had to order the servants at home to pack up and prepare to drive to Chang'an with the car, and on the other hand, he recruited his eldest son Sima Lang and asked him to return to his hometown Wen County in Hanoi County with his family still in Luoyang.
You must not cause your son to suffer with you.
It's a pity that he Sima Fang gave birth to too many sons, and the family didn't escape from Luoyang not far away, so it was known and high. The eldest son of the leader, Sima Lang, was caught by the Liangzhou soldiers and escorted to see Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo inspected the camp at the Luoyang North Camp garrison. He already knew about the Kwantung princes' army, and because of this, he planned to move the capital to Chang'an. Now that the little emperor has been driven to Chang'an, he heard that Sima Fang's son escaped from Luoyang with his family, which made him feel that he had been deceived and betrayed, so he was furious when he saw Sima Lang.
"You are the same age as my lost son, doesn't Dong have kindness to you?" Dong Zhuo wrinkled his nose and asked Sima Lang, "Why did you betray Dong!" ”
During this time in Luoyang, the originally rugged and heroic Liangzhou heroes became sensitive and suspicious. People are close to him, but he doesn't know whether those people are clinging to the powerful or deliberately rebelling. Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, who recommended Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others to serve as Taishou, were killed by Dong Zhuo Yixin, and he regretted it after killing. And Yuan Kui and others, on the surface, seem to support themselves, but in fact, their fucking sons and nephews are rebelling outside, which is disgusting.
Although Dong Zhuo was scolding Sima Lang, he couldn't help but recall the desert grassland of Liangzhou in his heart...... At that time, the days of galloping horses were really good.
It's better than the power of the world now, and it's better than the power of the world now.
Sima Lang didn't feel afraid in the face of Dong Zhuo, he just bowed his hand and said casually: "Ming Gong is too worried. ”
"Worried?" Dong Zhuo stared at a pair of big eyes, the fat on his jaw twitched slowly, these days he often showed such a vicious expression, it seems that in the turbulent imperial capital only such an expression can give him a little sense of reassurance, he narrowed his eyes, sat down slowly, his tone was a little gentler, and asked: "How to worry too much, you can tell me." ”
"I do want to escape from Luoyang, but it's not without reason." Sima Lang didn't seem to have the timidity or heroism between life and death, as if the person sitting in front of him was not the notorious Dong Zhuo but the neighboring family, he knelt down and bowed his hands and said: "Duke Ming has unparalleled virtues in the world, assisting the Son of Heaven in the chaos of the world, clearing the filth of the eunuchs and recommending many wise men. ”
The corners of Dong Zhuo's mouth hooked up a smile, this shaft ...... It seems to make some sense! However, he still feigned anger on his face: "You don't want to deceive me with clever words." ”
He thought that Sima Lang would make a frightened appearance. Unexpectedly, Sima Lang changed his words and said: "But as Weide becomes more and more grand, his deeds become more and more great. Even in the suburbs of the capital, the people could not settle down and work, because the war had to abandon their homes and property, and they fled in exile. Although the Ming Dynasty set up a ban at the Sifang Pass and punished him with heavy punishment, it could not stop the trend of fleeing. That's why I want to go back to my hometown. I hope that Ming Gong will learn from it, if he can reflect on it a little and think deeply, then his reputation can be as glorious as the sun and the moon, even Yi Yin and Zhou Gong can't be compared. ”
After saying that, Sima Lang saluted again, and looked at Dong Zhuo without evasion.
"Hmm......" Dong Zhuo let out a deep voice in his nose, his eyes looked at Sima Lang for a long time, his eyes flashed to the figure behind the wooden screen, and after a long time, he sighed and said to Sima Lang: "You kid, get up." What you said is very reasonable, and Dong thinks it is the same. In the future, if there is anything to do directly, come to Dong and say, you don't have to run away with your family, you go back, follow the soldiers and horses to catch up with your father's team and serve Your Majesty. ”
Sima Lang gave up, and in the large camp there was a group of cavalry waiting for him to run in the direction of westward migration.
When Sima Lang came out of the Chinese military tent, Dong Zhuo turned his head to look outside, and when he saw Sima Lang walking away, he licked his lips and shouted behind the wooden screen: "Li Wenyou will come out for me...... You tell the old man a good story, what did that kid mean just now, what Yiyin Zhougong's, the old man didn't understand! ”
……
Dong Laoer's doubts are not mentioned for the time being, don't look at Sima Lang's troubles in the handsome tent, when he got out of the big tent, he was blown by the spring breeze and his sweaty back was cold to the bones.
In the final analysis, Sima Lang is just a weak-crowned child, and he still has a year to be crowned, so how can he not be afraid of a fierce god like Dong Zhuo? It's just pretending to be calm.
Following the rider all the way to the Sima family, Sima Lang's second brother, but the eleven-year-old Sima Yi was caught on the horse by the Liangzhou rider and looked around, seeing Sima Lang coming back, he hurriedly shouted: "Brother! ”
Sima Lang responded, with a forced smile on his face, looking at the Qiang warrior wearing a fur coat and riding a long-haired wild horse, and sighed in his heart.
This is the man who swordsman, I am the fish, and the knife and gun are in the hands of others, where will I speak?
The way of the world has changed, and we can't live with the inherent idea of keeping it. Just like my father said, I want to take my family to leave the imperial court that shelters the world and return to the small Hanoi Wen County.
But is Wen County safe? It is only separated from Luoyang by a Yellow River, if the Kwantung coalition army kills it, if the Liangzhou soldiers kill it...... No matter how you look at it, it's the first to bear the brunt.
Wen County can't stay long.
Sima Lang picked up his second brother Sima Yi from the Liangzhou Qiang riding seat, sat on the ox cart and listened to the squeaks and set foot on the road to the west.
"Big brother, what are you worried about?"
Hearing the words of the younger second brother, Sima Lang looked around at his mother and several younger brothers on the ox cart, looked cautiously at the surrounding Liangzhou Qiang horses, hugged the second brother and said softly: "Zhongda, for my brother, think about how to let these Qiang horses let us go and let us return to Wen County." ”
"My brother asked them to send us to Wen County, and said that he would pick up the family and go with him...... Where are they taking us? Sima Yi raised his finger and nodded to himself: "Yes, they want to take us to Chang'an to serve the emperor, so they said that my father asked my brother to return to his hometown and bring his relatives to escape the war." Otherwise, if we go to Chang'an, our family will be devastated by the war...... Brother, it's war, right? The war will hit Wen County. ”
"It's going to be, but it's going to Wen County." Sima Lang was a little worried, but he still praised Sima Yi: "Zhongda is very smart, but what should I do when I get to Wen County?" I'm afraid our soldiers in Wen County are not the opponents of these Liangzhou soldiers. ”
Sima Yi bumped along with the ox cart, swaying his feet with his feet crossed, but his face was full of confusion. He is only an eleven-year-old child, and even if he is intelligent, he has a limit, so how can he know what to do?
However, Sima Lang looked at the back of the Liangzhou cavalry and already had a plan in his heart.
He found that these ordinary horsemen and their leaders were very shabby, and they were relatively poor, right? Before his father left, he let them carry not much, but they also had a lot. It should be enough to bribe the commander of this cavalry.
In this troubled era, people are lost every day, even if it is the queue of the imperial court to move westward, there will be officials who are lost, not to mention these harmless old and weak women and children?
It should work!
As soon as he thought of it, seeing that he was already some way away from the Luoyang camp, Sima Lang stopped the queue and asked the cavalry leader to follow him to a remote place to talk secretly for a while. In a few moments, he bribed the low-ranking military official with the belongings he was carrying, and made him agree to send them across the river to Wen County.
With these Liangzhou cavalry escorting along the way, the river crossing was unimpeded, but it only took one day to reach Wen County.
Sima Lang returned to the clan and persuaded the neighbors in the township to move elsewhere, but most of the villagers were reluctant to leave, and only Zhao Shi, who had been in-law with the Sima clan for generations, was willing to leave with the clan. And the place they want to move to is Liyang County.
Sima Lang vaguely realized that the situation in the world would be more turbulent in the next few years, and in such a troubled world, they must at least have enough strength to protect themselves, and Liyang has the strength to allow them to protect themselves.
There is a battalion in Liyang, which is the Liyang battalion under the command of Yanbei. The supervisor in the camp was named Zhao Weisun, who was Sima Lang's uncle.
In Sima Lang's impression, the Liyang battalion was a team of soldiers and horses with insufficient battles and more than enough to defend the clan, which was enough to protect Sima's home in Liyang.
