186, the old capital of Luoyang
Under the leadership of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others followed Zhang Yan into the city together, and his subordinate troops also entered the city together and were arranged in the barracks, under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others.
In the county government of Gucheng, Liu Xiegao, the son of heaven, sat in the top position, and the civil and military officials who escaped with Liu Xie, after a long and arduous escape, many people died in the chaos.
No matter what three princes and nine kings you are, or the princes or any king, if you are caught up by the chaotic army of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji, you will not escape death.
Guangluxun Deng Quan, Weiwei Shi Sun Rui, Tingwei Xuanbo, Dachangqiu Miaoci, Infantry Captain Wei Wei, Shizhong Zhu Zhan, Shooting Captain Fu Jun, Shaofu Tian Fen, Dasi Nong Zhang Yi and other ministers of the DPRK and China all died in the chaos.
In the hall of the county government, there were only more than ten ministers present, namely Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Chun Yujia, Weiwei Zhao Wen, Sikong Zhang Xi, Shizhong Taichong, Shangshu Feng Shuo, as well as Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and others.
Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others came to the hall of the county government together under the leadership of Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan asked people to serve breakfast for Liu Xie and hundreds of civil and military officials to enjoy.
Breakfast is just some rice soup and some dry food, although simple, but everyone eats very fragrant, after all, all the way to here, often hungry and full, sometimes even such rice soup and dry food can not eat, often hungry, hungry.
Liu Xie gulped down dry food. Drink it with rice soup. Unconsciously. Tears were already shining in his eyes, soybean-like tears were dripping down his cheeks, and his heart was full of endless glances.
"As a dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty and the supreme emperor, I didn't expect to fall into such a field...... The more harmful civil and military officials died one after another in the chaotic army, I am ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors, and I am ashamed of all the lovers! Liu Xie suddenly cried with a sad face, and beat his chest.
Liu Xie's words blurted out. The faces of the civil and military officials present were gloomy, and the Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Chun Yujia, Weiwei Zhao Wen, Sikong Zhang Xi and others couldn't help but burst into tears, and the rest of the people also wiped their tears.
For a while, a good breakfast became a place to cry, and the hardships of fleeing along the way may only be understood by them.
Zhang Yan stood on the side and saw everyone crying here, one crying harder than the other, and the monarchs and ministers came from top to bottom. It's all heartbreaking.
Even the generals Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, and Qubei were also moved. Tears kept oozing from his eyes.
"If crying can solve the problem, then Bixia and all the adults can cry to their heart's content!" Zhang Yan said loudly.
"General Zhang, in front of Bixia, why are you so presumptuous?" Sikong Zhang Xi reprimanded.
"Bixia is young, she has never suffered so much, and it is understandable to cry and shed a few tears. Don't you feel a little embarrassed that you don't share your worries and solve problems for Bixia, but you cry with Bixia? Zhang Yanlang said.
"Joy, anger and sorrow are human nature, I see Bixia crying so bitterly, I feel the same way, why not?" Zhang Xi retorted.
"It's nothing, I just think it's not worth it for a big man to shed tears here. Now, although the armies of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others have been blocked by me outside Hangu Pass, it does not mean that it is safe here, in case they change to the waterway and go downstream, it will not be difficult to catch up with us. I just hope that Bixia and all of you will have a meal quickly, and when they are finished, they can go on the road, so as not to have a long night and many dreams. Zhang Yan said.
Zhang Xi wanted to refute something, Liu Xie suddenly waved his hand at Zhang Xi, wiped the tears hanging on his cheeks, and said loudly: "What Zhang Aiqing said is very true, now is not the time for me to cry, we finally escaped here, we must not relax in the slightest, we should leave immediately and go to Luoyang." ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xie said to Zhang Yan again: "Zhang Aiqing, you have worked tirelessly to lead the army from Xuzhou to Qinwang, I am very grateful. Now my life is entrusted to Aiqing. In order to commend Aiqing's Qinwang for his meritorious service, and also to facilitate Aiqing's dispatch of the army, I specially named you as a hussar general, gave you a knot, and commanded the three armies. ”
When Zhang Yan heard this, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and thanked him: "Thank you, Bixia Longen!" ”
After listening to this, the people present all looked at each other, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others were even more unhappy, they Qinwang rescued earlier than Zhang Yan, but also to protect Bixia's loss of soldiers, and the reward was only a drop in the bucket, why did this Zhang Yan come, he was named a hussar general, and rewarded Jieyue, and took charge of the three armies?
Although they were unhappy in their hearts, because of the current strength of the army, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
After Liu Xie and the others finished breakfast, Zhang Yan urged the army to set off and march to Luoyang, and sent someone to inform Tai Shici to keep the Hangu Pass tightly, and not to let the troops of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji pass through.
Zhang Yan used a large army this time for the sake of King Qin, in addition to the 1,000 cavalry left by Tai Shici in Hangu Pass, his army in Gucheng had 8,000 cavalry, and this morning Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each led 5,000 troops to come, together, his troops have reached 18,000 people, and all of them are well-equipped and energetic, which can be described as strong soldiers.
And the total strength of Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others, together is only more than 2,000 people, counting the 500 people who Dong Cheng protected Liu Xie, the army is not enough 3,000, and the soldiers are all physically and mentally exhausted, and they are more or less wounded, and they are not Zhang Yan's opponents at all, so they dare not act rashly, so they can only be mixed in Zhang Yan's army and go all the way east.
The group passed through Henan City, Zhang Yan left here in advance of a thousand cavalry to come to respond, join forces, continue to move east, after a day of walking, finally in the evening, arrived at Luoyang City.
At this time, a wave of troops had already set up camp around Luoyang City, and it was Zhang Yan's general who was banned.
Yu Ban led Li Dian, Mi Fang, Chen Ying, Niu Jin and others, after receiving Zhang Yan's order, they rushed here from Yanzhou day and night, and according to Zhang Yan's instructions, they set up the military tent early, just waiting for Zhang Yan and others to arrive.
Liu Xie and the others saw that Zhang Yan had already set up camp outside Luoyang City, and saw that this army was neatly organized, and the number was less than 10,000 people, and they couldn't help but be surprised by Zhang Yan's military strength.
The appearance of Yu Ban and others made Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others even more fearful, Zhang Yan mobilized a total of 30,000 troops to Qin Wang, and his strength was more than ten times that of them.
When Luoyang City arrived, Zhang Yan reined in the horses, turned over and dismounted, walked straight to the side of the carriage driven by Liu Xie, and arched his hand: "Qiyu Bixia, Luoyang City has arrived." ”
Liu Xie lifted the curtain, originally looking excited, but when he saw the scene around him, he was suddenly surprised.
The surrounding area is barren, Luoyang City has long been a ruined wall, looking from afar, like a ruin, the former prosperous metropolis, but today it has become even a county seat, or even a village is not as good.
Liu Xie worked hard and finally returned to his hometown Luoyang from Chang'an, but at this time, Liu Xie was very melancholy.
I vaguely remember that he was forced by Dong Zhuo to move from Luoyang to Chang'an, never forgetting his hometown Luoyang, and often dreamed of returning to this place at night, who would have thought that Luoyang would become a ruin.
"Bixia, in the past, Dong Zhuo entered the customs, plundered the wealth in Luoyang City, and drove the people westward, Zuihou simply burned Luoyang. Then, the Kwantung heroes fought for many years, and Luoyang became the main battlefield, and the successive military disasters made Luoyang a ruin, and there was no figure in sight within a radius of 100 miles. The minister knew that Bixia was concerned about the old capital, so he specially sent people to be stationed here in advance, set up camp, and waited for Bixia to fall! Zhang Yan said.
"Dong Zhuo of a thousand kills! Even if I eat its flesh, it can't erase the hatred in my heart! Pity my century-old foundation of the Han Dynasty, it was ruined in one fell swoop, what face do I have to face the ancestors and ancestors......" Liu Xie beat his chest and howled loudly.
Dong Cheng and Yang Biao grabbed Liu Xie one after another and persuaded Liu Xie to focus on the dragon body.
Zhang Yan said: "Bixia is angry, the matter has come to this, no matter what happens, Luoyang will not be able to restore its original appearance." If it's getting late today, it's better to rest in the camp for the time being, and then discuss the plan after dinner. ”
Liu Xie nodded, and Zhang Yan asked people to escort Liu Xie into the camp to rest, and asked Yu Ban to prepare some sumptuous meals, ready to invite the current Son of Heaven to have a meal at dinner.
After everything was arranged, Zhang Yan returned to his tent, Zhang Hong followed into the big tent, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Lord, if today's son is already in our hands, Luoyang is already a ruin, it is better to take the opportunity to persuade Bixia to go to Pengcheng." As long as Bixia arrives in Pengcheng, the lord can control the power of the court, from now on, whoever dares not to obey the lord's words, will be ordered to crusade with the edict of the Son of Heaven, and in time, our army Shili will inevitably prosper. ”
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I think the same way, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes." It's just that we can't be in a hurry now, after all, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others are still with some remnants of the army, even if the Son of Heaven is willing to go back to Pengcheng with me, these people may not be willing to go back. If I kill them now, first, because the division is unknown, and second, it is easy to be misunderstood, and I ask the military advisor to give me advice, what should I do to get rid of them? ”
Zhang Hong thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "These people are a group of rabble, except for the Anguo general Zhang Yang, I see that the rest of the people are all suspicious people, if you want to get rid of them, it is not difficult, the lord only needs to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle." ”
"Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Please also ask the military advisor to explain in detail." (To be continued......)
