It was more than ten days before Liu Wei's army left Zhuyang County for Luoyang.

After more than ten days of recuperation, although Liu Nu's body is not yet very good, he has also ridden a horse. However, in order to avoid her from suffering from the cold, Liu Wei arranged a carriage for her and Guan Qing on the way to Luoyang.

The Luoyang army stationed in Gucheng, under the leadership of Liu Wei, drove out of the city in a mighty way.

When the people in the city learned that Liu Wei was leaving, they poured into the streets one after another, and reluctantly came to see them off on both sides of the street.

Although Liu Wei has not left the government much during his days in Gucheng, he has not had much contact with the people. can thank Liu Wei for giving them a way to live in the troubled times, so that everyone can fill their stomachs, but they are still reluctant to let the king of Luoyang leave.

The streets were full of people who had come to see them off, and many men and women even had tears of reluctance on their faces.

In the crowd, an alien man in a white dark coat was standing straight, and a pair of deep eyes were staring at Liu Wei who was leading the team through the street.

He was none other than the Wuhuan young man who had said a lot of strange things to a stout man in the wine shop more than ten days ago.

There was a bit of complexity in his gaze. It's a flickering, inconvoluted complexity.

Liu Wei led the team out of the city gate, and the follow-up army was still marching neatly, walking along the streets towards the outside of the city. The Wuhuan youth turned around, waved his hand at the other two Wuhuan men standing behind him, glanced at them, and then squeezed out of the crowd.

"Prepare the horses, I'll leave here today!" Squeezing out of the crowd, the Wuhuan youth glanced back at the sides of the street crowded with civilians, lowered his voice, and gave an order to the two men.

The two men answered, and did not leave at once, but stood up straight and looked into the street with the young man.

Gucheng is already very close to Luoyang, and the reason why Liu Wei was delayed in the city for more than ten days was mainly because Liu Nu's health was not yet well, and she was worried that she would catch a cold on the road and aggravate her condition.

Taking good care of Liu Nu is crucial to Liu Bian. At present, the Southern Xiongnu did not invade the Central Plains, and if Liunu had three longs and two shorts, it was very likely to become the fuse that induced the Southern Xiongnu to invade in advance.

Set off from Gucheng in the early morning, and before evening, Liu Wei led the army to the outside of Luoyang City.

Standing under the city, looking up at the big flag flying on the city wall, the corner of Liu Wei's mouth pulled up a faint smile.

When he left Luoyang, there were still some places in Luoyang City that had not yet been rebuilt, and although the defenders on the city wall were already in place, they were not as big as they are now, and their domineering spirit overflowed!

Just looking up at the city wall, a team of feather forest guards wearing red armor and bright red feathers on their helmets rode war horses, followed Xu Shu and the others, and slowly walked out of the city.

As Xu Shu and the others walked out of the city gate, Liu Wei clearly heard the shouts of "Congratulations to the King of Luoyang on his triumphant return" from the city.

The shout shook the heavens and the earth, mixed with the shrill voices of many women and children, although it was impossible to see who made it, but it also made Liu Bian's heart flutter.

Five thousand Yulinwei lined up in a neat formation outside the city, and when Yulinwei lined up, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others, who went out of the city to greet Liu Wei, turned over and jumped off their horses, and ran over to meet Liu Wei quickly.

Riding a horse in the direction of the city gate, when Xu Shu and the others came closer, Liu Wei also turned over and jumped off the war horse, and walked two steps quickly towards them.

"Your Highness congratulates His Highness on killing Niu Fu and returning triumphantly!" Already in front of Liu Wei, Xu Shu and the others clasped their fists with both hands and bowed down to congratulate in unison.

"Advisors and generals, excuse me!" Holding Xu Shu's wrist with both hands, he picked him up, and Liu Wei raised his hand to the generals behind Xu Shu.

When everyone stood up straight, Liu Wei took Xu Shu's hand, and while walking with him to the city gate, he asked him: "Military advisor, can the Xiliang soldiers who came to Luoyang before be properly accommodated?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" The hand was held by Liu Wei, and Xu Shu couldn't salute, but while walking, he said to Liu Wei: "Of the 100,000 soldiers, only more than 30,000 people can enter the main army, and his subordinates have already incorporated them into the main battalions. As for the rest of the soldiers, 50,000 were assigned to the partial camp, and those who were old and weak were all discharged and returned to the fields......"

"Good!" After listening to Xu Shu's presentation, Liu Wei nodded, and while holding hands with him and walking towards the city gate, he said to him: "There have been endless wars for many years, and there are many barren farmlands. It is indeed not a long-term solution to recklessly use military force and only care about developing the size of the army. The military advisor can select some soldiers who are old and weak and unsuitable to fight with the army in the partial camp, arrange their family business for them, and let them unload their armor and return to the field! ”

"Your Majesty must do your best!" First responded to Liu Bian's words, walked forward with him for a while, and when he was about to reach the gate of the city, Xu Shu asked Liu Bian again: "I heard that Gongsun Chan attacked His Highness along the way, in Zhuyang County, and even sent assassins with the intention of assassinating His Highness, I don't know what His Highness plans?" ”

"In Zhuyang County, they didn't attack this king, but Mr. Hua Tuo was almost killed by him!" Stopping, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Xu Shu and asked him, "This king has already ordered that the good students of Zhuyang County take care of the two assassins captured by Ziyi, and lure the remaining assassins out of the net!" In addition, this king intends to prepare troops and horses in the near future, send troops to Jibei, and crusade against Gongsun Zhan. I don't know what the military advisor wants? ”

"No!" As soon as Liu Wei's words came out, Xu Shu hurriedly withdrew the hand he was holding, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Li Wei and Guo Yan entered Chang'an, and the government was once again in the hands of the Xiliang Army, and the heroes of the world were staring at Chang'an. The imperial court is weak, and now His Highness can keep his head in the dark and wait for the opportunity......"

Having said this, Xu Shu raised his head, glanced at Liu Wei meaningfully, lowered his voice and said to him: "Liu Yu attacked Gongsun Zhan, and now it is in full swing, His Royal Highness sent troops too early, I am afraid that it will directly confront the Jizhou army, which will not be conducive to His Highness's future plans......"

"This king will hold back this evil breath!" Pang Tong had clearly opposed Liu Bian's dispatch to Jizhou earlier, and now that Xu Shu said so, the only thought left in Liu Bian's heart was completely put down, he frowned slightly, first responded to Xu Shu's words, and then waved to Xu Shu, and said to Xu Shu: "I'll wait until I enter the city to discuss!" ”

Walking into the city with Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and other generals who came to greet him also followed on foot. All Yu Linwei rode horses, following Liu Wei and the others.

As soon as he entered the city, Liu Wei's figure appeared at the gate of the city, and the people gathered in the city knelt on the ground one after another, and in an instant, the people in the city who came to greet Liu Wei knelt on both sides of the street.

However, this time, they did not shout "Congratulations to the King of Luoyang on his victory", but knelt quietly, everyone lowered their heads deeply, and none of them even dared to look up at Liu Wei.

Turning his head to look at the kneeling civilians on both sides of the street, Liu Wei stopped, raised his hand at the kneeling people, and shouted to them: "Folks, please get up, what is this doing?" ”

"Your Highness!" The people kneeling on the ground did not respond, Xu Shu on the side hugged his fists and bowed, and said to Liu Wei: "Killing Niu Fu is to avenge the subjects of Luoyang!" Everyone is kneeling to greet His Highness, if His Highness does not leave, they will categorically refuse to get up! ”

As soon as Xu Shu said this, Liu Wei suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. For him, Niu Fu is a not too big stumbling block in his road to hegemony, and sooner or later he will have to kick it away. But in the eyes of the people of Luoyang, he avenged the blood revenge for the people who were killed by the Xiliang army.

There is one thing Xu Shu did not tell Liu Wei, that is, the Xiliang army came to Luoyang a few days ago, and as soon as they entered the city gate, the people in the city threw rotten vegetable leaves at them, so that the team that had just been a little integrated into the Luoyang army, morale was suddenly frustrated, if it were not for Xu Shu to save the field, after they arrived at the barracks, they told them to move with affection and reason, and asked them to make up for their merits on the battlefield or farmland in the future, I am afraid that these 100,000 Xiliang army soldiers will not regard Luoyang as their home to defend with all their might in the future.

With his hands clenched into fists, he arched towards the people kneeling on both sides of the street, Liu Wei wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them.

The street in front of me was full of kneeling people, pressed into patches of black press, and there was no end in sight. If Liu Wei really speaks, I'm afraid that he will talk non-stop along the way.

The team slowly advanced forward, walked through a few streets, and the generals led the main force of the Luoyang Army that followed Liu Wei back to the barracks, while Liu Wei, accompanied by Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others, was surrounded by 5,000 Yulin guards and walked in the direction of the palace.

There were still a hundred steps away from the palace, and Liu Wei saw a team of only a few hundred people lined up neatly outside the gate of the palace.

The procession was lined up in a neat queue of honor guards, and the golden feathers on the heads of the officers and soldiers swayed gently in the breeze, like a small golden wave, interpreting their might to the world.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return!" After the Yulin guards came down to the main gate of the palace, Deng Zhan, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, raised his hand and pressed it violently, and the five hundred dragoon guards shouted loudly in unison.

Their shouts were uniform, and though they were only five hundred, they were more powerful and majestic than the shouts of five thousand.

"Your Highness!" When the dragon cavalry guard congratulated him was over, Deng Zhan walked over quickly to meet Liu Bian, and when Liu Wei approached, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness is on the expedition, and the last general will not dare to slack off for a moment, the training of the five hundred soldiers of the dragon cavalry guard has been completed, and you can follow Your Highness to fight on the battlefield at any time!" ”

"General Deng is hard!" When Deng Zhan finished speaking, Liu Wei stepped forward to hold his wrist, picked him up, and said to him: "Although the number of dragoon guards is small, they will be a strange soldier of this king in the future, and they will definitely be able to establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield!" ”

"Your Highness is mighty!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, the five hundred dragoon guards all raised their weapons high and shouted in unison: "I will follow His Highness to the death and protect the Han Society through the ages!" ”

The dragoon's shouts were neat and majestic, and it was obvious that this sentence had been rehearsed for a long time.

With a smile on his face, he arched his hand towards the dragoon guards, and Liu Wei also opened his voice and shouted to them: "The soldiers have worked hard! ”

"Sister Qing'er!" When Liu Wei and Deng Zhan met, they were in the carriage surrounded by Yu Linwei's team. Liu Nu, who found that Guan Qing's face was a little ugly, held Guan Qing's arm, snuggled his little head on her shoulder, looked at Guan Qing sideways, and asked her softly: "Back in Luoyang, you don't seem to be very happy." ”

Seeing the loss in Liu Nu's expression, Guan Qing hurriedly gathered his mind, smiled at Liu Niang, and said to her: "Don't worry too much about it, I'm just too tired......"
