Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 351 Raising [-] Military Horses
In May, when Cao Cao personally led an army of [-] to go north to Guandu to meet Yuan Shao's army, Luo Zheng and Sun Ce, who had been waiting for a long time, sent troops almost at the same time.Luo Zhengbei led an army of [-] cavalry out of Hangu Pass and headed straight for Luoyang.

Sun Ce raised an army of [-] in person, crossed the north of the river under the support of the Jiangdong navy, and broke through Liyang, an important military town in the north of the Yangtze River, and then marched northward, advancing on Hefei. Huainan was in a hurry.

Luoyang, Beigong.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

Li Heng turned around anxiously, and said anxiously: "Luo Zheng led an army of [-] cavalry out of Hangu Pass, Gucheng has fallen, what should we do now, brother, Luo Zheng came out in full force, this is to catch us all... "

"To shut up!"

Li Jue was irritated and wanted to kill, so he sternly cut off Li Heng's noise.

Li Heng seemed to be choked by the throat, and he kept quiet, but he couldn't hide the panic on his face.

Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and other nephews also stood beside them, their faces full of panic, wishing they could run for their lives.

Li Jue took big strides, pacing up and down the hall, his face was so gloomy that a layer of frost could be scraped off, and there was still deep sadness and powerlessness in his eyes. The hero is at the end of his rope, and his mood is so desolate. will understand.

Once upon a time, Li Jue was also high-spirited and ambitious.

Especially after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue ruled Luoyang separately, with nearly [-] soldiers under his command. He thought he could lead the Xiliang army and achieve some great achievements.

Li Jue was very unwilling, and what was more, he was deeply powerless.

The wheel of history rolls forward, crushing countless heroes.

Li Jue couldn't understand why he was inferior to others, so he could get so mixed up, and Luo Zheng was just a pawn in the Xiliang army, but he was able to come from behind, and after Dong Zhuo's death, he even wiped out the separatist regime in Guanzhong The former general of the Xiliang army eventually became stronger and stronger, swept the desert, went south to Xichuan, and became one of the most powerful princes in the world.

But he himself is at the end of the road, and he is about to follow the old path of Guo Bang and others.

Right now there are only [-] soldiers and horses left in Luoyang City, and the morale is low. Many soldiers don't even have a complete weapon. If it wasn't for the military academy that led the soldiers to suppress it, they would have thrown away their weapons and fled for their lives. How to resist Luo Zheng's [-] army.

If there is no enmity with Luo Zheng, just open the city and surrender, as both the old Xiliang tribe, Luo Zheng will not treat him slowly, I heard that Zhang Ji is doing well now, although he is only a Hanyang prefect, but in Xiliang For the sake of the old department, at least no one will trouble him, and it is not a problem to spend the rest of his life rich and powerful.

But the problem is that everyone in this world can rely on Luo Zheng, but Li Jue can't.

Thinking about those things back then, Li Jue felt powerless for a while.

Comparing the heart to the heart, it is impossible for him to let Luo Zheng go.

"Report-"

At this moment, a fast horse rushed directly into the palace, and the scout spies raised their voices and screamed loudly, "It's not good, my lord, the [-] Xiliang cavalry have already arrived!" Twenty miles away."

"what?"

Li Jue almost jumped up in surprise, how could he come so fast.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Weizu, Li Jin, etc. were all shocked and pale, and could no longer calm down.

"Go, go and see!"

Li Jue's face was ashen, he waved his hand fiercely, and went straight to the west gate of Luoyang.

However, as soon as we arrived near the west gate, and before we climbed to the top of the city, we saw smoke and dust sweeping from the sky in the distance. Pale.

In addition to the huge booming sound in the ear, there is no other sound.

When they got to the top of the city, they saw tens of thousands of cavalry rushing across the mountains and plains amidst the billowing smoke and dust, rushing towards them like a huge torrent of steel, seeming to completely submerge the majestic Luoyang City.

Even though they were used to seeing cavalry, everyone couldn't help turning pale when they saw such momentum.

Li Jue was even more in a daze. Ever since Dong Zhuo was killed and Jianguo's short-lived Liang Dynasty fell, it had been a long time since he saw the Xiliang cavalry charge. He really missed that passionate feeling.

It's a pity that these tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry are here to kill him.

Amidst the continuous sound of ox horns, the [-] Xiliang cavalry began to slow down when they were still two miles away from Luoyang City, and finally lined up [-] paces away, with their wings extending to both sides as far as possible, forming a fan-shaped row. Open, front and rear two rows,
Suddenly, the cavalry in front of the formation separated to the two sides.

Luo Zheng urged his horse out, left the battle under the escort of Xu Chu and dozens of soldiers, and rushed to the city of Luoyang.

Li Jue looked at the wind clearly from the top of the city, and saw Luo Zheng straddling a white jade sweat-blooded horse, wearing a golden chain mail, majestic and radiant, with an extraordinary momentum, and a majestic demeanor that dominates the world .

Compared with Dong Zhuo, who was already getting old back then, Luo Zheng is now like the rising sun, shining brightly, and is in the most glorious stage of life. Li Jue is jealous and envious, but he can't help but sigh in his heart.

More importantly, Luo Zheng is still very young, just in his early thirties.

Except for Sun Ce who ruled Jiangdong, Luo Zheng is the youngest among the princes in the world.

But Sun Ce just inherited his father's business, and the foundation was laid by his father's generation, but Luo Zheng came from a humble background, laid down the current foundation with one hand and one foot, and is far stronger than Sun Ce, how could Li Jue not feel emotional.

"Where is Li Jue?"

Luo Zheng set up a pergola and looked at the top of the city for a long time before stopping to drink.

"Humph!"

Li Jue flashed out from the big banner, and asked sharply: "Luo Zheng, why do you want to offend me in Luoyang?"

Luo Zheng looked carefully for two years, and saw that Li Jue's face was disheveled, and his description was haggard. He had already reached the year of the curtain, and he couldn't help but feel a complicated feeling in his heart. For a moment, the pimple in his heart was blown by the wind like a cloud scattered.

The Xiliang Military Group with Dong Zhuo at its core has been destroyed, and the current Xiliang Army is no longer the former Xiliang Army. Apart from Zhang Ji, only Li Jue remains.

With my current status and Quan Bing, it is really unnecessary to care about those old things back then.

It's as if a tiger wouldn't kill a wild dog that was dying of illness, otherwise the tiger wouldn't be a tiger.

Some emperors can even let go of killing their fathers and enemies. Although Luo Zheng doesn't have such a large number, there is only one Li Jue in the area, and he doesn't have any deep hatred with him, and he really hasn't reached the point where he must be killed.

Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Zheng's mind, and he said with a smile: "Li Jue, let's stop talking nonsense! As the old saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Dong Zhuo failed to lead the Xiliang Army to compete in the Central Plains, and achieved indomitable hegemony , General Ben wants to lead the Xiliang Army to compete with the heroes of the world for a day, so what are you waiting for if you don’t open the city and surrender?

Li Jue's expression changed several times, and he asked, "Can you spare my life?"

Luo Zheng turned the horse's head and said: "So what if you spare your life, how can this general take a wild dog to heart and quickly open the city to surrender, otherwise when this general breaks Luoyang, he will definitely leave no chickens and dogs behind."

Li Jue was furious, but he really lacked the courage to die, and his expression changed.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and the others looked at Li Jue with embarrassment, and their hearts were also up and down. I don't want to be buried with Luoyang.

Li Jue struggled for a long time before he waved his hands and said, "Open the city gate!"

"As ordered!"

An adjutant hurriedly responded loudly, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Li Heng, Li Shi and the others also put their hearts back in their stomachs, secretly saying that it was okay.

Soon, the Suspension Bridge at the West Gate of Luoyang was lowered. Amidst the ear-piercing noise, the jack gate was raised and the city gate opened.

Not long after, Li Jue tied his hands and led a group of his confidants out of the city on foot, until he walked in front of Luo Zhengma, and then stood dejectedly by the side, waiting to be dealt with. Li Heng, Li Shi and others all forced smiles on their faces under eight.

Luo Zheng held the whip in his hand and didn't get off the horse. He just stared at Li Jue coldly for a while before saying: "You can bend and stretch, and you, Li Jue, still know the times. Since the general promised to spare your dog's life, he won't go back on his word .”

"Thank you General!"

Li Heng, Li Shi and others were overjoyed, and quickly thanked them.

Li Jue also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he finally saved his old life.

Luo Zheng's words changed, and he said again: "However, although capital crimes can be forgiven, living crimes are hard to forgive. This general will relegate your Li family to a lowly status, and go to raise horses for this general. Within three generations, you will not be pardoned. , When will I raise [-] top-grade military horses for this general, and when will I be exempted from the low status. If this order cannot be completed within three generations, you will be demoted to the low status of the Li family."

Li Jue's expression changed, and then he sighed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Heng, Li Shi, Li Wei, Li Jin and others changed their complexions terribly, and the excitement just now disappeared in an instant.

Originally, I thought that after joining Luo Zheng, I would be able to do something, no matter how bad it was, I should be able to be a rich man, but I didn't want to be beaten into the abyss again after a turnaround, and was demoted to a lowly status, which is not as good as a commoner.

One hundred thousand army horses, it will take many years to raise them.

At least my own generation can no longer see the hope of turning around.

Li Heng and the others looked desperate. They looked at Li Jue, and then at the dejected Li Jue. Their mouths squirmed for a long time. They wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it. In the end, they all drooped their heads listlessly.

With a wave of Luo Zheng's hand, hundreds of cavalry rushed over, immediately taking down Li Jue and others.

Soon, Xiliang cavalry marched into Luoyang.

Yan Xing led the army to disarm all the [-] Xiliang rebels in Luoyang City, and gathered them in the camp north of the city to guard them.These rebellious troops originally belonged to the Xiliang Army, and they had no resistance to Luo Zhengdao. They were all honest and did not take the opportunity to make trouble.

Just as Luo Zheng sat down in a large hall, Yan Xing hurried in.

"Lord!"

Yan Xing handed over a package and said, "The final general found this item from Li Jue's residence."

"what?"

Luo Zheng took the package and asked casually.

Yan Xing scratched his head, hesitating not to start the country.

Luo Zheng opened the package and looked at it, his eyes were condensed, and it was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
