Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 14
The leader of the cavalry heard the reputation, and when he saw Chen Wei, his serious expression suddenly became inexplicably surprised. He immediately reined in his horse, and the cavalry behind him also stopped.

It turned out that the leader of the cavalry was Taipeng, the commander of Jianzhong under Niu Fu's command. When he pretended to be Zhu Jun's rebel army and attacked Li Meng's barracks at night, Tai Peng and Sun Hou were sent by Niu Fu to Chen Wei's side to help, and thus they got to know each other.

Coincidentally, when Tai Peng went out of the city this time, he was ordered to go to Shouyang Mountain to look for Chen Wei. Although Chen Wei hadn't heard from him for two months, most people believed that Chen Wei died in battle, but that was saved because of Chen Wei. The three thousand soldiers who came down thought of Chen Wei's kindness, and they all volunteered to go out of the city to search and rescue Chen Wei.Two months ago, Sun Hou went out to search for soldiers, but it was unsuccessful, so Tai Peng asked for orders to go out of the city to search and rescue again.

Unexpectedly, Tai Peng met Chen Wei in Daxing County.

Tai Peng was overjoyed immediately, jumped off the horse and knelt down in front of Chen Wei, excitedly said: "Humble Tai Peng, see Captain Chen!"

The three people under the teahouse suddenly saw this scene, especially when they heard that the young man was actually the rumored Captain Chen, they were stunned in shock.

Here, Chen Wei helped Tai Peng up, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, Captain Tai, everyone get up."

Tai Peng's face showed emotion, and he turned his head and ordered to the cavalry in a trembling voice: "Hurry up and report to General Niu, Captain Chen has returned safely!"

"Captain, shall we go back to Chang'an?" Tai Peng asked for instructions.

Chen Wei shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "How about Captain Taidu lending me 50 taels of silver?"

Tai Peng boldly took out 50 taels and handed it to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei returned to the caravan, found Uncle Zhou, and presented him with 50 taels of silver as a sincere thank you: "Uncle Zhou, here are 50 taels, enough to go to Fengming Pavilion to listen to a few more tunes!" The approachable young man turned out to be a military master.

Then, Chen Wei rode on the horse prepared by Tai Peng, surrounded by the cavalry in the center, and galloped towards Chang'an City.

Chang'an City was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, rebuilt the palace on the basis of Afang Palace and Qin Xingle Palace, and built Weiyang Palace. In the same year, the capital was moved from Liyang City to this place. Because it is located in Chang'an Township, it was named Chang'an City.Later, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiuzhong rejuvenated the Han Dynasty. When the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, the country was dilapidated, especially in Guanzhong where Chang'an was located. A large amount of materials needed to be brought in from other places. Luoyang is the capital.

However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in dispute, and the power of the Han Dynasty was weak. Just last year, the Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and took the Han Emperor hostage to move the capital to Chang'an.Chen Wei's arrival happened to be the second year after the capital was moved.

The caravan needed half a day's journey to reach Chang'an, but because of the speed of the horse, it arrived at the city of Chang'an in less than three hours.

In history, Chang'an was the center of Eastern civilization, and it was said in history that "there is Rome in the west and Chang'an in the east".Although he had known Chang'an City from books or the Internet before, when Chen Wei witnessed this famous capital city at home and abroad, he had to be shocked by its majesty.

The city of Chang'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty covers an area of ​​about 36 square kilometers. The moat is deep and wide, and the walls are high and thick.Soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere on the city tower, and banners are planted everywhere.

The city gate is also guarded by sentries, and people and soldiers come in and out, shoulder to shoulder, and there are huge crowds of people.

"It's so lively!" Chen Wei sighed.Since he came to this era, he has seen dilapidated cities and counties everywhere, with few people. Sometimes within a hundred miles, there is no one inhabited. This is the first time he has seen such a bustling city.

"Captain, there are [-] gates in Chang'an City, what you see is just one of the gates!" Tai Peng said respectfully beside him.His respect for Chen Wei was from the bottom of his heart. Although Chen Wei was young, he defeated Shi Rong, destroyed Li Meng's poisonous plan, and later sacrificed his life to save the large army. They were all deeply impressed and grateful, otherwise, after two months, they would not have taken the initiative to ask Ying out of the city to search and rescue.

"An ancient book records that Chang'an can house more than one million people, and now it seems that it is indeed so!" Chen Wei said with emotion.

Just when Chen Wei and the others came to the city, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and a large number of soldiers poured out.

Chen Wei reined in his horse and asked suspiciously, "Is there going to be a war?"

Tai Peng looked over and saw Niu Fujun's flag flying high, he laughed and said, "Captain Chen, I sent someone to report back in advance, it seems that General Niu led the army out of the city to welcome you."

Chen Wei was stunned, seeing at least thousands of soldiers leaving the city, he did not expect Niu Fu to receive him so grandly.But I saved his army, and he also saved him, so it is reasonable to have such a specification.

When the army left the city, the common people were stopped by the roadside. Niu Fu led his Niu family army to wait for Chen Wei.Seeing Chen Wei from a distance, Niu Fu smiled with joy.

The thousands of soldiers behind him all survived the Battle of Shouyang Mountain. Seeing Chen Wei's return, their morale was boiling. Thousands of them moved in unison, knelt down neatly, and shouted to welcome Captain Chen to return.The orderly shouts resounded through the sky, almost the entire Chang'an city could be heard.

"It's so unreasonable for Chen Wei to mobilize people so lightly!" Chen Wei came to Niu Fu and was about to kneel down on one knee, but Niu Fu helped Chen Wei up first, and said with a smile: "This is Captain Chen. You deserve it, the battle of Shouyang Mountain, I, Niu Fu, and the entire army are grateful!"

Chen Wei cupped his hands and said a few words of humility, but his eyes glanced behind Niu Fu, but Sanniang was not seen coming out to greet him, which was unreasonable.

Niu Fu seemed to see what Chen Wei was looking forward to, and his face was troubled.

Seeing Niu Fu's expression, Chen Wei felt a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "General, where is San Niang?"

Niu Fu patted Chen Wei's shoulder heavily, and said apologetically, "Chen Wei, I, Niu Fu, can't stand you, and I can't keep your concubine!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Wei's expression changed instantly.

Niu Fu said: "After we returned to Chang'an, we sent troops out to look for you several times, but to no avail. You also know that Sanniang looks like a fairy. Half a month ago, Dong Huang, the grand master's nephew, became interested in seeing her, and asked him many times. I asked for it, but at first I shirked it for you, but later Dong Huang relied on the grand master to dote on him... The grand master stepped forward, but I had no choice but to send Sanniang to Dong Juan, but Sanniang, who refused to do so, hanged herself on the spot ..."

"General!" Chen Wei said with grief and indignation on his face: "At Shouyang Mountain, I entrusted the general to take care of Sanniang on my behalf, and the general himself agreed!"

Niu Fu frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Chen Wei's attitude, but thinking of Chen Wei's kindness, he didn't get angry, and said comfortingly: "Why don't you have a wife when you come to Chang'an, how many women do you Chen Wei want? Fudu found it for you, don't worry about a slave!"

Chen Wei's heart was burning with anger. Although San Niang was not the No.1 woman he met in troubled times, she was the first woman Chen Wei liked. Also because of this woman's tragic past and her meticulous love for herself.

Seeing that Chen Wei was silent, Niu Fu lowered his posture again, and said gently: "Chen Wei, with your ability and military achievements, I will ask the grand master to make you a captain of the Yulin Army. What worries does the money beauty have?"

Chen Wei was silent, trembling all over.At this moment, he really felt that in this world, if you have no power, you can't even protect the one you love!

But at this time, a bitter and sarcastic voice suddenly came from the tower: "I don't know who can make General Niu go out of the city to greet him. It turns out that he is a guy with a vain name!"
