The big man is on the run

Chapter 31

It was midsummer, and the land in Guanzhong was quietly dyed with a pale green coat, and the trees with lush green leaves in full bloom were scattered gradually.

To the south of the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang, there is the remaining range of Lishan Mountain with gray ridges. Even in midsummer, some of the top peaks are even stained with a layer of silvery white, which is the trace of snow that has not melted all year round.

Looking closer, it looks like a silent giant at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

That is, beside the school dormitory at Hongmen Pavilion in Xinfeng County, it is covered with large and small curtains, like mushrooms after the rain.

Walking among them were not only palace people, women and children, but also many soldiers of the Xiliang Army in armor and swords with ring heads.

After the big banquet that day, the courtiers wrangled for nearly a month before the army finally set off.

At the beginning, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji asked for a hostage exchange, but Guo Si's mother-in-law was reluctant to part with her son, and discussed whether she could be named a king for her daughter, and then exchanged her daughter as a hostage.

What effect can this have?Who can really rest assured?
Zhang Ji, who couldn't see the past, came up with an idea to take their cousins ​​and nephews as hostages.

These few people can be regarded as quite "open the window and lift the house" three points of the real taste.

The final agreement was that Guo Si's cousin Guo Pu and Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu would stay in Chang'an as hostages, while Li Jue's cousin Li Huan and cousin Li Xian would stay in the Donggui army as hostages.

Li Jue occupied Chang'an, while the Xiliang generals led by Guo Bang took the emperor back to Hongnong, and then returned their capital to Luoyang.

But, but.

The army had just passed Baling, and Liu Yi hadn't had time to fold a wicker in an arty way to complete the achievement of "breaking a willow in Baling".

Guo Si fell ill.

I don't know if it's because of a cramp in the brain, or because he just wanted to impress the people in his fiefdom, Guo Si proposed to invite the emperor and all the officials to cross the Weishui River north to Zuo Fengyi's Gaoling County to visit.

Of course Liu Yi disagreed, and so did the ministers and Xiliang army leaders, and everyone held a meeting to discuss it, but there was no result.

Guo Bang was unexpectedly stubborn, so he just twisted here.

The army marched along both sides of the Wei River, with Guo Si's more than [-] cavalry in the north, and Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Yang Ding in the south. Each family had [-] to [-] troops. quite.

Without Guo Bang, the nominal Donggui beggar has begun to make people feel uneasy.

Even if Liu Yi had plans, he didn't want to turn against Guo Bang in such a place so close to Chang'an.

Although for Liu Yi, it was false to go back to Luoyang, and it was true to take the opportunity to get rid of these Liangzhou army leaders on the way, he never thought that he could defeat Yuan Shao with the broken Luoyang, but these army leaders didn't know!

The road back to the east, which was supposed to be a good one, has also become full of twists and turns.

In contrast, the emperor strongly demanded to change his name, and the ministers passed this "little matter" without much reaction.

The emperor said one set after another - "The word Xie, as if I am watching you doing things next to me, I don't like it. It's better to call it Yi, Yi, which means shooting with a rope tied to an arrow. The meaning is that The army is like arrows, although they return to the east, their roots are still in the pass, tied with ropes."

When people want to do something, there are always one hundred reasons; when people don't want to do something, there are always one hundred excuses.

Probably so.

Let’s just say that the army was forced to camp at Hongmen Pavilion in Xinfeng County just a few dozen miles out of Chang’an.

Hmm. A place with a lot of stories.

Now that the army camped and all the officials and their families settled down in the school, Liu Yi took Xu Huang, Wang Yue, Fazheng, Zhong Yao, Yang Xiu and other close officials to have fun and visit the Prime Minister of Chu and Han. The former site of the Hongmen Banquet in Zhengshi.

Obviously, people these days have little awareness of historic site protection.

After 400 years of changes, the original site of Hongmen Banquet can no longer be found.

Next to the wasteland, there is an abandoned lime kiln, which has long been a paradise for wild animals.

For Liu Yi, leaving Chang'an City is not as good as what Fazheng said, "like a bird in a cage, or a fish in a pond. Going east this time, you will soar through the nine heavens and cross the four seas."

Maybe it can barely be regarded as "breaking through the iron cage to escape the tiger and leopard, and breaking through the golden lock to escape the real dragon", right?
"Your Majesty, I am afraid."

The deserted ridges are full of green weeds, and one field is surrounded by groups of soldiers, and among them, a scribe in green shirts is used almost by a young man in leather armor. In the way of "pressing", it was placed on a stone beside him.

"If you grind again, I will kill you."

Seeing that the scholar with a figure like a soybean sprout refused, the young man directly stretched out the Eight-faced Han sword in his waist. This kind of behavior, which was almost a rogue, seemed to be familiar to the surrounding soldiers of Habayashi and Tiger Benwei. Instead, they joked and laughed.

Seeing that the scribes were seated, the young man clapped his hands in satisfaction. Habayashirou was beside him holding a torch, and lit the firewood under the earthen pot containing a plucked pheasant.

"His Majesty."

Looking at the restless "Little Bean Sprout" Wang Can, Fazheng frowned.

Of course, it was not because he was afraid that the newcomer would compete with him, but because Fazheng had some disagreements with the emperor's plan.

Thinking of the Xiliang military chiefs who were surrounded like a pack of wolves, but were actually held hostage by name, Fazheng couldn't help swallowing: "Why are you so anxious."

"Xiaozhi said that he was anxious, but did he mean that the fire was too urgent?"

Liu Yi, who was squatting on a stone with a porcelain bowl to eat, pretended not to know, licked the corn at the corner of his mouth without grace, and then directly tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and began to sing aloud.

"Water gushes up and mountains pile up, where is the young King Xiang?
Unknowingly, the ashes disappeared, poor Yu Xitu had nothing to do.

The sinking boat that broke the Qin Dynasty was lost for a while, but the river water where the soldiers fought fiercely was still hot.

It's so sad to teach me! "

Seeing that the Emperor Liu Yi was acting like a knight-errant, he didn't look like a gentleman, "Little Bean Sprout" Wang Can was so shocked that his chopsticks dropped to the ground!
And as Liu Yi sang loudly, the guards of Yulin and Huben were excited.

Clever as Fazheng, Zhong Yao, Yang Xiu and others, they almost thought of the reason in a flash!

There was no other reason, of course, since leaving Chang'an, the journey had not been smooth, and when they arrived at Hongmen Pavilion, Guo Bang was awkward again, causing the army to stand still.

It's okay to be physically distressed, but this mental lack of knowing where the way forward is the most demoralizing.

But at this time, it was obviously just a pair of chopsticks, a broken bowl, and Liu Yihuang's casual performance, which made the soldiers feel less confused.

That's right, what is the difference between singing on the journey and Wang Jian's "throwing stones for acting" when he defeated Chu?

The commander is not afraid of the hardships and dangers ahead, so why should the soldiers be afraid?

"This is not river water~~~"

Liu Yi's voice became more and more high-pitched, almost breaking, and then it flew down.

"It's 20 years, endless

——Hero blood! "

Xu Huang, Wang Yue and other fighters applauded one after another, while Liu Yi laughed boldly, pointing to the bonfire where the earthenware pots were roasted and turned black.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi, I will teach you a truth today, a man is born between heaven and earth, seize the day and night!"

"The hearts of the people are like water. If I slow down for a while, the hearts of the people who have suffered from the war will boil; if I slow down for a day, the hearts of the people under the rule of heroes will evaporate completely, and they will no longer be the people of the big man."

Yang Xiu, the little witty ghost who only waited for the day and night to hang out in the team, couldn't help being dazed for a moment, and even forgot to eat the tasteless "favorite".

After saying that, Liu Yi picked up a step bow, aimed at a distance and shot an arrow.

I don't know if it's shit luck, a cute bunny screamed and fell to the ground, becoming everyone's extra meal.

"My name, isn't it a good change?"

Looking at the smiling emperor, "Little Bean Sprout" Wang Can silently wrote it down in his mind.

"In the summer and fifth month of the second year of Xingping, Guo Si threatened Chengyu, Zhang Ji, Yang Ding, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng fought with Guo Si, and defeated him.

It was night, and there was red energy flowing through the Purple Palace. The emperor wanted to change his name in order to rectify the world.

Since then, the decline of the Han Dynasty has gradually stopped. "
