The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 Chapter 186
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, and the troops under him also entered the city together and were arranged in the barracks. The subordinates of Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qu Bei and others were in charge.

In the county government office in Gucheng, the emperor Liu Xiegao sat at the top, and the civil and military officials who escaped with Liu Xie, after a long and difficult escape, many of them died in the rebellion.

No matter what Sangong Jiuqing, princes or kings, if you are overtaken by Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji's rebellious army, you will die.

Guang Luxun Deng Quan, Wei Wei Shi Sun Rui, Ting Wei Xuan Bo, Da Chang Qiu Miao Si, Infantry Colonel Wei Jie, Attendant Zhu Zhan, Shesheng Colonel Ju Jun, Shaofu Tian Fen, Da Si Nong Zhang Yi, etc. All the ministers died in the chaos.

In the hall of the county government office, there were only a dozen or so ministers present. people.

Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qu Bei and others, led by Zhang Yan, came to the hall of the county government together. Take a seat in the hall respectively.

Zhang Yan asked someone to serve breakfast for Liu Xie and all civil and military officials to enjoy.

Breakfast is nothing more than some rice soup and some dry food. Although it is simple, everyone eats it very delicious. Hungry and hungry.

Liu Xie gulped down the dry food and drank the rice soup. Unknowingly, crystal tears welled up in his eyes, tears dripping down his cheeks like soybeans, and his heart was filled with endless glances.

"As the majestic Son of Heaven, the supreme emperor, I never expected to be reduced to such a state... What's more, hundreds of civil and military officials died one after another in the rebellion. I am ashamed of my ancestors and my loves !" Liu Xie said suddenly with a mournful face, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

As soon as Liu Xie blurted out his words, the faces of all the civil and military officials present were gloomy, Tai Wei Yang Biao, Situ Chunyu Jia, Wei Wei Zhao Wen, Sikong Zhang Xi and others could not help crying, and the rest followed suit.

For a while, a good breakfast turned out to be a place of crying. Perhaps only they can understand the hardships of fleeing along the way.

Standing by the side, Zhang Yan saw the crowd crying loudly, one crying louder than the other, the monarch and ministers were heartbroken from top to bottom.

Even generals such as Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, and Qu Bei were so moved that tears kept oozing from their eyes.

"If crying can solve the problem, then Your Majesty and all the adults can cry as much as they want!" Zhang Yan said loudly.

"General Zhang, why are you so presumptuous in front of Your Majesty?" Sikong Zhang Xi scolded.

"Your Majesty is young and has never experienced such suffering. It's fine to cry and shed a few tears. It's understandable. Don't you adults cry with Your Majesty instead of helping His Majesty? Is it?" Zhang Yanlang asked.

"Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are human nature. When I see His Majesty 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. Although the troops of Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji and others are blocked by me outside Hangu Pass, it doesn't mean that this place is safe , if they take the water route and go down the river, it will not be difficult to catch up with us. I just hope that Your Majesty and all the adults can eat quickly, and then go on the road after eating, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Zhang Yan said.

Zhang Xi still wanted to refute something, but Liu Xie waved his hand at Zhang Xi suddenly, wiped away the tears hanging on his cheeks, and said loudly: "What Zhang Aiqing said is absolutely right, now is not the time for me to cry, we managed to escape here, absolutely There should be no slack in the slightest, and we should set off immediately to Luoyang."

As soon as the voice fell, Liu Xie said to Zhang Yan: "Zhang Aiqing, I am very grateful to you for your hard work from Xuzhou to lead the army to Qin Wang. Now my life is entrusted to Ai Qing. In order to commend Ai Qing for her meritorious service, It is also convenient for Aiqing to dispatch the army, and I have appointed you as Hussar General, given you a Yue, and commanded the three armies, who dares to disobey, you can kill first and play later!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately took a step forward, knelt down on one knee, and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

After hearing this, all the people present looked at each other in blank dismay. Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others were even more upset. It was to protect His Majesty's loss of soldiers and generals, and the rewards he received were only a drop in the bucket. Why did Zhang Yan be appointed General Hussars when he came, and he was awarded Jie Yue to command the three armies?

Although they were upset, due to the current strength of the army, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

After Liu Xie and others finished their breakfast, Zhang Yan urged the army to set off and march towards Luoyang, and sent someone to inform Tai Shici to guard Hangu Pass tightly and not let the troops of Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji pass through.

In order to serve the king, Zhang Yan mobilized a large army this time. In addition to Tai Shici's 8000 cavalry at Hangu Pass, his army in Gucheng had [-] cavalry, and this morning Zhang Liao and Gao Shun each led Five thousand troops came, and together, his troops had reached [-], and all of them were well-equipped and energetic, which can be described as strong and strong.

The total strength of Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qubei and others is only more than 2000 people. Including Dong Cheng's 500 people protecting Liu Xie, the army is not enough to [-]. Moreover, all the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were more or less wounded. They were not Zhang Yan's opponents at all, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They could only join Zhang Yan's army and walk eastward all the way.

A group of people passed by the city of Henan, and the thousand cavalry that Zhang Yan had left here in advance came to meet them. They joined forces and continued to move eastward. After a day's walking, they finally arrived at Luoyang City in the evening.

At this time, a wave of troops had set up a camp around Luoyang City, and it was Zhang Yan who was under the general's command.

Yu Jin 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 without stopping. According to Zhang Yan's order, 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 set up a camp outside Luoyang City, and saw that the army was well-groomed and numbered at least ten thousand. They couldn't help being surprised by Zhang Yan's military strength.

The appearance of Yu Jin and others made Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qu Bei and others even more afraid. Zhang Yan mobilized a total of [-] troops to Qin Wang, whose strength was ten times theirs. It was more than twice as many, although everyone had their own ghosts, but at this moment, facing such a powerful enemy, none of them dared to act rashly, and they all followed Zhang Yan's ass obediently.

When Luoyang City arrived, Zhang Yan reined in his horse, got off his horse, walked straight to the side of the carriage driven by Liu Xie, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Luoyang City has arrived."

Liu Xie opened the roller blind. He looked excited, but when he saw the scene around him, he was surprised.

Surrounded by desolation, Luoyang City has already become ruins. Looking from a distance, it looks like a ruin. The once prosperous metropolis is now inferior to a county town or even a village.

Liu Xie went through untold hardships and finally returned to the old capital Luoyang from Chang'an, but this scene made Liu Xie extremely melancholy.

He vaguely remembers that he was forced by Dong Zhuo to move west from Luoyang to Chang'an. He never forgot his old capital Luoyang, and often dreamed of returning here at night. Who would have thought that Luoyang would become a ruin.

"Your Majesty, when Dong Zhuo entered the pass, he sent his troops to plunder the wealth in Luoyang City, and drove the people westward. Finally, he simply burned Luoyang with a torch. Afterwards, the Kwantung heroes fought for years, and Luoyang became the main battlefield. The disaster has turned Luoyang into ruins, and there is no one to be seen within a hundred miles. I know that His Majesty cares about the old capital, so I specially sent people to station here in advance, set up camp, and wait for His Majesty to send me down!" Zhang Yan said.

"Thousand-killed Dong Zhuo! Even if I eat his flesh alive, I can't eliminate the hatred in my heart! I have a pity that my century-old foundation has been destroyed. How can I face my ancestors..." Liu Xie wailed loudly, beating his chest and stomping his feet.

Dong Cheng and Yang Biao stopped Liu Xie one after another and advised Liu Xie to focus on the dragon body.

Zhang Yandao: "Your Majesty calm down, the matter has come to an end, no matter what, Luoyang will not be able to restore its original appearance. Now that it is getting late, it is better to rest in the camp for the time being, and discuss the big plan after dinner."

Liu Xie nodded, and Zhang Yan had someone escort Liu Xie into the camp to rest, and asked Yu Jin to prepare some sumptuous meals, and was going to treat the current emperor to a good meal at dinner.

After everything was arranged properly, Zhang Yan returned to his camp, and Zhang Hong followed into the big tent, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "My lord, now that the world is in our hands, Luoyang is already in ruins, why don't you take this opportunity to persuade your Majesty to go to Pengcheng?" As long as your majesty arrives in Pengcheng, the lord will be able to control the power of the court. From now on, whoever dares to disobey the lord will order a crusade with the edict of the emperor. Given time, our army will surely flourish."

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "I also think the same way, to coerce the emperor to order the princes. However, we can't act too hastily now, after all, Zhang Yang, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Hu Cai, Li Le, Han Xian, Qu Bei Even if the emperor is willing to go back to Pengcheng with me, these people may not be willing to go back. If I kill them now, firstly, the teacher is unknown, and secondly, it is easy to be misunderstood. Don’t hesitate to enlighten me, what should I do to get rid of them?”

Zhang Hong thought for a while, and then slowly said: "These people are a mob. Except for General Zhang Yang of Anguo, I see that the rest of them are all people with ulterior motives. It is not difficult to get rid of them. , the lord only needs to draw the bottom line."

"Drawing from the bottom of the pot?" Zhang Yan was taken aback for a moment, and asked hastily, "Please ask the military adviser to explain in detail."
