Chapter Forty
Zhao Yu stood on the hillside with his hands behind his back, looking at Lu Bu's army's long snake heading towards Runan, and then turned around and left.
Following along the way, Lu Bu really did not dare to disobey Zhao Yu's warning. Even if he was short of food, he would not dare to harass the people. However, Chengxian was forced by him along the way and asked for a lot of food and grass. Lu Bu had no ability to make the overall situation and did not know the situation in Nanyang. If he knew, he would not have the idea of attacking the people. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu both regarded Nanyang as a buffer, so there were no powerful figures and large troops here to guard it, so it was not too easy to ask for food.
After all, Lu Bu insisted on going to Runan, which was something Zhao Yu liked.
He hoped that Lu Bu could cheat Cao Mengde like he did in history and indirectly help Cao Mengde.
Zhao Yu was not worried that Lu Bu would know that his immortal family was in Cao Mengde's camp, and Zhao Yu's reputation was only on a small scale. For example, the people of Zhaozhuang. But the people did not know that Zhao Yu had such powerful power. Even if it was spread, they only thought that he was a person of the same name, which was not uncommon.
Cao Mengde also intentionally or unintentionally downplayed Zhao Yu's prestige. This was not only because of his heroic heart, but also because he was afraid that after Zhao Yu's ability was spread, the other princes would not sit still and try every means to lure him. What if he did something wrong, Zhao Yu was unhappy and abandoned him, what should he do?
Adding up many reasons, Zhao Yu has an amazing status in the hearts of Cao Mengde's core figure, but his reputation is not revealed.
Otherwise, if Lu Bu knew that Zhao Yu was on Cao Mengde's side, he would not dare to attack Yanzhou. As for Chen Gong, Zhao Yu was free to care about it, so he would not mention it for now.
Zhao Yu's feet are fast, and he walked all the way and was leisurely and comfortable. He passed Chenliu the next day.
Seeing that Puyang was about to arrive, Zhao Yu had a sudden whim.
He clapped his hands and shouted to himself: "Where is Diao Chan!?"
The so-called heart is like a floating cloud, and the mind is like a flowing water. Perhaps Zhao Yu is in this state. Such a strange thought suddenly pops up in his mind, and then he immediately wants to go and check it out and verify it.
Although he seemed to do his best to plan for Cao Mengde, he actually thought about what he did. He was not tired of his heart or tired of his body, and he had a kind of freedom.
Then another thought came up: "I have been in this time and space for two or three years. I seem to have been wandering around Puyang. I have never seen Luoyang or Chang'an before, and I failed."
"Just go and have a look?"
Once the thoughts move, they will be out of control.
Zhao Yu didn't say anything, and didn't think about what happened to Puyang, so he turned around and headed towards Luoyang.
In ancient times, the road was difficult to walk, and Zhao Yu just went all the way west. Occasionally, he encountered rare animals - people, and asked questions.
Within the Henan Yin area, he was poisoned by Dong Zhuo and fought in a row. There were already ruins and no one could see anyone. Cao Mengde said that there was no rooster crowing thousands of miles, and Henan Yin was a portrayal. It was originally the best place in the world, the Han imperial capital, but now it has become like this, which is also a pity.
Walking along the way, watching along the way, two days later, Zhao Yu arrived in Luoyang.
The huge imperial capital was burned into ruins, and the glory of the past was burned to pieces.
I don’t know if there was a spirit under the spring of all dynasties, if the Han emperors of all ages would crawl out from under the Nine Netherworlds and jumped to curse.
This broken imperial capital symbolizes the majesty of the Han family in the past and also indicates that the Han Liu family was disgraced. When Emperor Ling was there, there was the emperor's honor, the young emperor, and the emperor who was now praised by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, probably even a small landlord in the countryside?
There are a few villages vaguely hidden among the ruins, with thin and numb faces that are very sad.
Zhao Yu passed by.
Going west to Luoyang, there is a straight road that goes straight to Guanzhong. If you don’t go to Guanzhong, you need to pass one pass, that is Hangu.
Hangu Pass has always been a long time. It stood between mountains and rivers in the pre-Qin period, guarding the important roads of Guandong between Guanzhong and Guandong.
At present, there are almost no heavy troops guarding this city gate. When Zhao Yu passed the gate, he looked at it and there were only a thousand people at most.
It's normal to think about it. First, the princes in various places have temporarily fought and merged and accumulated a foundation. They don't have that much energy to take care of Guanzhong, so they don't need too much troops to guard this important military location. Second, after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun refused to pardon the original troops under Dong Zhuo. Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others led their troops to counterattack and transferred almost all the troops that were originally guarding the passes around Guanzhong. Perhaps there was no time to re-arrange the army at this time.
After passing Hangu Pass, it was Hongnong County. Xin'an did not have much military force, but there was a large army in Mianchi. When passing Mianchi, Zhao Yu was searched.
After a little inquiry, it turned out that it was Zhang Ji, the general of the East of the town, who went out to Hongnong and sent his nephew Zhang Xiu to Mianchi in town.
The names of these two people are well-known.
Zhang Ji's reputation is because he has a beautiful concubine. Zhang Xiu is famous because of his cheap aunt. Zhao Yu heard that Zhang Xiu was in Mianchi and thoughts were released, and he suddenly thought of Cao Mengde and Dian Wei.
It was precisely because of this Zou family that Cao Mengde was defeated, defeating the general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang.
It is indeed a bit ridiculous to think about it, but in essence, there is nothing strange about it. Cao Mengde is a man of his own illness. He is doing it openly and not afraid of others' words. In order to make the war undefeated, Dian Wei and Cao Ang will not die, it may be a good story in later generations.
And Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, I'm afraid there are few people who have cicadas.
Zhao Yu then thought of one of the key figures, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. I don’t know where this guy is now.
Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked Chang'an, which was Jia Xu's idea. Zhang Xiu rebelled against Cao Mengde and killed Dian Wei and Cao Ang, which was also the idea of this guy. Even in later rumors, many major events, such as Dong Zhuo's move to the capital, poisoning the Shao Emperor, etc., all have the shadow of this guy, and I don't know whether it is true or false.
Anyway, this guy is not an idiot.
Jia Xu was the best at protecting himself. When he was young, he would pull the tiger's skin and hold the big flag. He said that when he was young, he returned to his hometown in Wuwei, and was kidnapped by Qianghu soldiers on the way. He was calm and told Qianghu that he was the nephew of General Destroyed Qiang and the Grand Marshal Duan Bing.
When Qiang Hu heard this, he was incredible and immediately let him go respectfully.
Duan Yi was probably an outstanding general of the previous generation of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others. During the reign of Emperor Huan, the Qiang and Hu rebelled and almost occupied Liangzhou. Duan Yi was ordered to lead more than 10,000 troops, and he survived hundreds of battles, and won every battle. He often defeated the coalition forces of hundreds of tribes of Qiang and Hu to defeat the army. Finally, he wiped out the main force of Qiang and Hu in one battle at Shohu Valley. So Qiang and Hu changed their qualities when they heard about Duan Yi. They were not afraid of the emperor, but Duan Yi.
It can be seen that Jia Wenhe is so sensitive.
After passing Mianchi, probably because Mianchi was sorted out by Zhang Xiu, when Zhao Yu arrived in Shan County, the Xiliang Army's defense was not so strict.
Zhao Yu had to pay the cap tax when he entered the city, and he had to pay a few big sons when he passed the city. However, he was penniless and the money he paid was all the money of the Xiliang soldiers who were guarding the city. Often, the ill-gotten wealth disappeared in the places where he lived, leaving behind many legends.
Then Chang'an arrived.
Luoyang and Chang'an are on the same line, Chang'an is on the banks of the Wei River, and the Wei River flows eastward into the river, and Luoyang is on the banks of the river.
Guanzhong Yuan was a fertile land. The First Emperor ruled the world with Guanzhong. It was the old Qin people raised by Guanzhong's land. They gave everything that made the Xia people achieve great unification in the true sense for the first time.
However, after the development of the Qin and Han dynasties, the originally fertile land in Guanzhong had reached its limit. In addition, the wars and chaos have become declining.
The Xiliang Army may have strong combat effectiveness, but its military discipline is outrageous. The so-called military force is like a comb, but it is nothing more than this.
Dong Zhuo harmed Henan Yin. After his death in Chang'an, his subordinates continued to harm Guanzhong. There was another natural disaster, which was a waste of life for the people.
Last year, there was a severe drought in Guandong, but this year, there was heavy rain in Guanzhong. It lasted for half a year, and it was just about to stop when autumn began.
Under the sky, how innocent people's livelihood is?
Even Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty, was only slightly better than Luoyang. There were countless refugees wandering outside the city, and the dead were everywhere. As for the warlords of Xiliang, they ignored them and just drove away the matter.
When you walk into the city, you can still vaguely see the mottled shadows of Emperor Wu. Under the tall city gate, perhaps two hundred years ago, a majestic general led the army out from here. From a distance, it turned out to be Huo Piaoyao.
A great emperor stood on the city gate tower and watched the soldiers rushing to the battlefield.
The general came back, carrying the enemy's head and facing the cheers of the people. The Han Dynasty was so powerful that he could be in the world, within the world, under the sky, under the eight desolates and six unions, and I am the only one who is the only one!
It is this great city that has witnessed all this, witnessed the great cause that laid the Chinese word, and witnessed the establishment of the name of the Han nation for two thousand years.
During the Jin Dynasty, it was called Jin people, during the Tang Dynasty, and during the Song Dynasty, it was called Song people. However, after these dynasties rose and fell in history, what was imprinted on us was the Han.
Because she is the strongest.
The country will always be destroyed by weak, while the Han will only be destroyed by strong.
The strength of the Han Dynasty created the dignity and pride of the Han people. Therefore, it has been passed down forever without forgetting.
Zhao Yu may also be a little sad about spring and autumn, but he quickly put it aside.
This is the process of humanity and may be changed, but Zhao Yu has not gone to that time and space. But it is not too late now, isn’t it?
Many notices were posted inside and outside the city gate. The most conspicuous one was the wanted notice. When Zhao Yu looked from a distance, he laughed. Isn’t it Lu Bu on the notice?
The drawings are quite decent.
The key is that it is extremely vivid. Perhaps the appearance is somewhat different, but his fierce temperament is not bad.
Zhao Yu immediately thought of Diao Chan. One of his thoughts when he came here this time was to be curious about whether this character, one of the four beauties rumored in unofficial history, existed or not. Is there such a stunning beauty who dealt with tigers and wolves, and finally sent Dong Zhuo to heaven?
But then Zhao Yu scratched his head.
When Lu Bu left Runan, he forgot to ask him at that time, but Wang Yun was dead, and the minister who conspired with him might have died, right? Li Jue and others came back and could have let them go?
Villains such as Li Jue and Guo Si are probably not clear about the details inside.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yu found that there was another person, most probably knowing it.
who?
Emperor.
