I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132 A Man's Romance

Looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang from a distance, Huangfusong felt mixed feelings.I can't remember how many times I have returned, but I only remember that my heart is heavy every time.

The Han Dynasty was precarious, and even if he returned with a big victory, it was only a short-term remedy.And as he got older, he already felt powerless, and the sorrow in his heart was always lingering.

"Yizhen, what are you thinking about?" Gai Xun pushed the rein forward, affectionate and lonely.

But afterward, he couldn't help but said: "If Dong Zhongying is cheating this time, the old man will risk his life, and Yizhen won't be humiliated!"

"What is personal honor and disgrace?" Huangfusong smiled wryly, and said, "If he can really revive the Han Dynasty, so what if the old man leads the horse and falls for him?"

Gai Xun was speechless for a while, and then muttered: "The old man still thinks that if he is reliable, sows will climb trees."

Huangfusong didn't answer this question, but turned his head and sent an order to his side: "Order the soldiers to line up, don't disturb the people."

"Here!" The order flew away, and the general's orders were delivered in sequence.

The [-] elites immediately raised their chests and straightened up, like a mighty dragon, with a majestic momentum.

The city gate opened slowly, but Huangfusong was stunned: on both sides of the road leading from the upper west gate to the North Palace, there were three layers of defense lined up inside and outside.

There are sentry towers every fifty feet, and there are embroidered envoys on the upper floor staring at the surroundings, and soldiers standing downstairs, each holding their hands on the handles of their swords, standing still, majestic and strict.

Seeing Huangfusong's troops, the embroidered envoy on the first sentry tower immediately shouted: "Welcome General Huangfu and all the soldiers to enter the city!"

"Welcome General Huangfu and all the soldiers to enter the city!"

The shouts passed over and over again, until three bells and drums rang on the Bell and Drum Tower in the distance, the sound was thick and long.Temples and Taoist temples all over Luoyang also responded together, singing in harmony with each other from afar.

"General Huangfu and all the soldiers have worked hard to protect the country and the territory!"

It wasn't until this time that Huangfusong saw countless people waiting behind the soldiers' defense line.

There are also countless tables in front of the shops, on which are filled with various kinds of wine and meat snacks: "Soldiers have worked hard, I will wait a little bit, and hope that the soldiers will not refuse!"

"General Huangfu and all the soldiers guarding the Han Dynasty are the true gods in the world, please accept my worship!"

"Long live General Huangfu, long live all the soldiers!"

Before the army entered the city, the people had already shouted loudly and knelt down one after another.There was also a shopkeeper of the store, who had a conflict with the soldiers: "Let me go out, let me give these to the soldiers as a token of my heart."

"The military order is in hand, you must not collide with the army!"

All of a sudden, Huangfusong, who was still unmoved by the howls and howls all over the place, felt a strong warmth rushing to his eyes, unable to restrain himself: "Everyone, you don't have to do this, it's what we should do."

"General Huangfu and the soldiers protect each other with their lives, how can we not have a little conscience?" A store manager couldn't afford it, and begged in his mouth: "General Wanwang and the soldiers will accept it, otherwise we will feel uneasy!"

"General Wanwang and all the officers and soldiers, otherwise we will feel uneasy!" As soon as this remark came out, there were merchants and common people pleading with sincerity.

Seeing this, all the soldiers couldn't help but burst into tears: How many times have they returned to Luoyang, they have never been treated like this.

Huangfu Song was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of this question, he couldn't help but said again: "Could it be that you were forced, usually when I return, I never..."

"General, don't do this, shame us!" An old man raised his head tremblingly, and said: "In the past years, there were turmoil and troubles, and we lived in misery. The imperial court also distributed corvees arbitrarily, and we can't take care of ourselves."

"Since the Taiwei entered Beijing, changed the business system, suppressed the administration of officials, returned the property, and cleared the case of injustice, the soldiers under his command have not only committed no crimes to us, but also helped us a few times. How can we not be grateful?"

"In the past two days, I heard that General Huangfu and all the soldiers returned to the city, and also learned from the soldiers under Taiwei's command that the general's subordinates were fighting bloody battles outside, just to protect the country and the people. coercion."

"The murderous Dong Zhongying did such a thing?" Gai Xun was puzzled, as if he had really seen a sow climbing a tree, and his worldview was a little shaken.

"You are not allowed to speak ill of the fat and ugly captain. My mother said that he ordered someone to return my property. The fat and ugly captain is a good man!" A child looked at Gai Xun angrily after hearing this.

Gai Xun was embarrassed when he heard the words, and couldn't help but make Huangfusong laugh.

At this moment, the horns in front of them blared, and the people who were clamoring to express their hearts were suddenly silent: only a thousand tiger and ben soldiers, wearing fish-scale armor and red hairpin tassels on their heads, riding Qingyishui Black war horses lined up majestically from the gate of Beigong City.

Those war horses have been strictly trained, and they walk on drums, shaking the newly padded road with loess.

After the huben, there was another emperor's guard of honor composed of more than a thousand Jinwu and Habayashi soldiers, carrying various dragon flags, umbrella covers, and brine books, which dazzled people.

In the middle of the guard of honor was the emperor's car of the Han Dynasty surrounded by ministers, officials, and guards. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked slowly towards the city gate.

I don't know who was the first to react and shouted 'Long live Your Majesty', and then the people broke out completely, and there were huge crowds of people looking up, fragrant flowers and wine, and worshiped and danced.

The scenery, the ostentation, the supreme glory personally welcomed by the emperor, all gathered on Huangfusong and the returning soldiers.

Huangfusong, who had reacted, couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and shouted excitedly: "Get off the horse, and follow me to pay homage to His Majesty!"

The voices are a little hoarse.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a Yu Lin coming forward with an order, saying: "Your Majesty has an order, General Huangfu has been working hard in the battle, and his armor is on him, so there is no need to pay homage!"

On the contrary, when the guard of honor arrived, Taiwei Old Dong took the Taifu, the second of the three princes, and the ministers to Huangfusong, and said, "General Huangfu has worked hard!"

Among them, Old Dong tried his best to bend down, seeing that Yuan Kai and Huang Wan dared to lose their temper, his actions were a little perfunctory.At that time, I stepped on it from the left to the right, and my eyes were staring!

The two looked shocked, angry and painful, but they could only be an inch lower than Old Dong.

Seeing this, Huangfusong and Gai Xun hurriedly clasped their fists in return, terrified in their hearts: "Don't do it, old ministers will never do it, I implore you all not to do that."

In history, when Huangfu Song returned to Beijing, Dong Zhuo used the same method to subdue Huangfu Song's spirit.Moreover, he specifically asked Huangfu Song whether he was afraid after being convinced, and he was relieved only after he forced him to smile and apologize.

So at this time, Huangfusong was really afraid.

The court has been ups and downs for many years, how could he not know that in this way, he stood on the opposite side of the ministers?

Unexpectedly, old Dong laughed, went to hold Huangfu Song's fists in person, and said: "General Huangfu, don't be afraid, you have fought for the Han Dynasty, and you have made great achievements. But what's wrong with mere courtesy?"

"What's more, this action was not ordered by the old man, it was done by the emperor, could Yizhen still be afraid of the emperor?" After speaking, he patted Huangfu Song's hand again, and said provocatively: "Could it be that General Huangfu is afraid of the old man? "

Seeing the sincerity and clarity in old Dong's eyes, Huangfusong couldn't help feeling proud, and said, "If Mr. Dong assists the imperial court with great virtue, the auspicious celebration of heaven will come, so what is there to fear? Everyone in the world is terrified, so how could this old man be alone?"

"Shengde?" Old Dong laughed again, patted his 400-jin body, and said, "This old man's moral character can be considered grand?"

Hearing this, Gai Xun couldn't listen anymore, so he interjected, "You are not Shanda, but Chubby!"

Immediately, the three of them laughed heartily.

Liu Xie also stepped out of the chariot at this time, quite in the style of a rejuvenating emperor: "General Huangfu and all the soldiers have come back from a long journey and worked hard. I and the Taiwei have already prepared a banquet in the Jiade Hall and the Xiyuan barracks to welcome the general and all the soldiers. Wash the dust!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Old Dong, and added: "The Taiwei even prepared Longjiang pig's knuckle rice. I want to share the romance of a man with me and the general!"

"Man's romance?"

"That's right." Old Dong explained, "The passion for fighting, the spirit of dying until death is the romance of a man, the ambition to conquer alien races, and the fearlessness to protect the homeland are also the romance of a man."

"Life needs a sense of ritual, and men also need to have romance. What others can't give you, you must not forget." Old Dong patted Huangfusong's shoulder, as if expressing his feelings.

Then, it turned back to the main topic: "General Huangfu and all the soldiers have paid too much for the Han Dynasty. Today's welcome is a romance that this old man brings to you!"

Hearing this, Huangfu Li, who had been whipped five times, was suddenly moved and cried: "Although the Taiwei is ugly, he is so gentle in his heart. The one who knows what I want is the Taiwei!"

On the contrary, Huangfu Jianshou saw that the people wanted to bring wine, meat and snacks to the soldiers, and said: "Taiwei, this..."

"Oh..." Seeing this, Old Dong said, "This is the old man's fault. I will tell the soldiers next time. Although the military order must not be violated for fear of accidents, it must not be disrespectful."

"Afterwards, the old man ordered someone to inform the officers and soldiers of the West Garden where the troops were stationed." He said, looking at the common people: "If you still want to send it, how about sending it to the gate of the barracks?"

"The captain is wise!"

"Long live the captain!"

"Long live General Huangfu, long live Your Majesty, and long live the Han Dynasty!"

Under the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, the army finally marched slowly.Along the way, drums and music rang together, and the people rushed to pay homage to them, and countless girls embroidered sachets and threw them into the army through the defense line.

Looking at the soldiers with their heads held high, Huangfusong couldn't help feeling that he was in his prime: no matter how old you get old, even if there is only one romance, a man will be like a boy every day!
