Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8
Early in the morning of the second day, when the sun was rising, a general with a white horse and a silver gun led a carriage guarded by ten servants, and drove slowly away from Luoyang City, heading for Hongnong.

Sitting in the car is the former Wang Nan and the present Hongnong King Liu Bian.

The carriage and servants were all sent by Wang Yun to escort him.Cao Cao and Wang Yunding plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo tomorrow, no matter whether they succeed or fail, Luoyang City will be in chaos at that time, in order to ensure his safety, they had to send him back to Hongnong County.Although Hongnong County has been torn apart by Dong Zhuo, there is still one place that is firmly in his hands - Hongnong County under the control of Tang Ji.

Tang Ji, also known as Tang Concubine, was Liu Bian's only concubine during his lifetime.Before Liu Bian ascended the throne, his uncle, General He Jin, married the two of them. It is said that it was to appease Tang Ji's father.As for the specific reason, Liu Bian did not know.

"I don't know where that Hongnong is, and who is guarding it next to it?" Liu Bian's thoughts jumped with the shaking of the carriage.He is like a headless fly now, unable to tell the difference between south, east and north, some thoughts are inevitable.Now Dong Zhuo is in charge of all the military power in the court, and the 20 troops stationed in Xiliang outside the city have become a force of their own.And according to the discussion with Wang Yun last night, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai Sea, has begun to summon soldiers to train day and night, ready to raise troops at any time.From this we can see that the prefects of other counties should not be idle either.

The princes from all walks of life clearly wanted to wipe out the royal family and serve the country allegiance, but none of them had their own plans.The world of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty is obviously over.

The current Liu Bian is no longer the Liu Bian of the past, and he doesn't care much about the survival of the Han Dynasty. In his opinion, he just needs to save his life.As for the damn country, whoever has the ability to take it has nothing to do with him.

***************************************
The servants' walking speed was really too slow. They walked for one day to cross the Yellow River, and now they walked for two more days. According to the general on horseback, they only walked half of the distance, and it would take at least three days to enter. The scope of Hongnong County.

The white horse general looked elegant with his silver armor and a silver spear.It's just a pity that the speech is hoarse and dry, it's hard to hear, and it makes people's teeth itchy without knowing it.Coupled with the ugly silver armor mask on his face, people really don't want to get close to him, even the servants are a little afraid of him.

Wang Yun just asked the general to escort Liu Bian back to Hongnong, but did not mention his identity.As for the inexplicable resurrection of King Hongnong, only Cao Cao and Wang Yun knew about it.So Liu Bian had to wear a high cloth crown to cover his head, so as not to be recognized by interested people.Under Wang Yun's ten thousand exhortations, Liu Bian has not let anyone see his face these few days, not to mention that he even found some dyes to dye his face into a big painted face, after all, he must be careful to sail for thousands of years .

Opening the curtain of the carriage and looking, the treetops outside have already been covered with snow.Just overnight last night, heavy snow fell all over the sky, covering it with a thin layer.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and everyone's progress was already somewhat slow.

The rugged ancient road and the barren and sparse farmhouses are the only scenery on the road.Occasionally, one or two sallow and emaciated farmers passed by them, but they all looked sallow and emaciated, appearing to be malnourished.

This is still at the foot of the emperor, near Luoyang City.From this we can see the living conditions in other places. No wonder, no wonder Zhang Jiao wants to revolt!
"Son, it's already noon now. I see a village not far ahead. Why don't we go and get some hot water to eat, so we can take a rest and have some dry food?" The hoarse voice sounded beside the carriage, and the general Said to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian responded and agreed to his request.Since Wang Yun asked this person to escort him, there must be his reason, so let him do everything.

Hearing that he could rest, the servant who had been on the road all morning cheered twice and quickened his pace.Rest means being able to eat, and the stomachs that have been tossing all morning have long since become empty. They are usually not used to walking long distances, so it is very desirable to have a rest at this time.

As the carriage stopped, Liu Bian also stepped out, still wearing the high crown on his head.

At this time, I have arrived in a small village, and the servants are borrowing a house to boil water and cook soup to drive away the cold.

The snow from the sky began to fall one after another again, and the cold wind hit people, and a few snowflakes fell into the brocade robe around Wang Nan's neck, making him shiver from the cold.

The masked general was fetching a bucket of water from the well, scrubbing the mud splashes on the white horse, and he seemed to be paying attention to cleanliness.

Not long after, the aroma from the boiling bacon wafted in the cold wind, causing Liu Bian's stomach to growl.

From official Wang Yun to Situ, there is no shortage of money at home on weekdays, and he thought that Liu Bian had once been an emperor, so he must not suffer, so the exercise along the way was carefully prepared.Not only did he bring enough money and goods, but even the back of the carriage was full of bacon and dry food, for fear that Liu Bian would be hungry on the road.It's a pity that as soon as we left Luoyang City, the money would be useless, and it would be wasted.

"Young master, go in and have some hot soup to keep out the cold."

After finishing washing the white horse, the silver-faced general came over to greet Liu Bian.

The servant served the snow-white noodles on a plate, and Liu Bian began to chew on the hot broth.Although from the perspective of the previous life, these things are not considered delicacies, but he is really hungry and eats with relish.

At this moment, a child's cry suddenly came from the side.

A six or seven-year-old girl ran out from the thatched hut next door, staring longingly at the big pot of fragrant broth and flatbread, shouting: "It's delicious, I want it! I want it!" Grab the bread.

Before she could grab the bread, a ragged peasant woman rushed out and hugged the little girl.

"Go, go, didn't I give you money? Don't startle your son." A servant nearby hurriedly waved them away.

"Yes, yes!" The woman hugged the little girl and dragged her back, but the little girl was crying loudly: "I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I want to eat!" while struggling and twisting.

Liu Bian stood up, and when he was about to ask his servants to give her some bread, the woman looked at the child in her arms, gritted her teeth, and suddenly knelt down with a "plop": "Masters, you can do it!" Come on, give this child a bite, poor girl has nothing to eat for two days! Please, please!"

The silver-faced general also just turned around from the side, and a hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears: "What's going on?"
