"I heard that the little beauty in your house is very beautiful."

After receiving Wang Xiao's massage technique, Empress Dowager He, who felt refreshed, propped up her elbow and lay on her side on the bed looking at Wang Xiao's back.

Wang Xiao tidied up his clothes and said, "Well, she is indeed a peerless beauty." ”

Empress Dowager He snorted dissatisfied, and seeing that Wang Xiao did not react, she pinched a grape and smashed it on his back.

Wang Xiao looked sideways, and Empress Dowager He gave him a wink back.

"My neck is still a little sore here." Empress Dowager He beckoned, "Let's give it to others again." ”

"There's no time." Wang Xiao shook his head: "I still have something to do." ”

Looking at the back of Wang Xiao leaving, Empress Dowager He gritted her silver teeth hatefully.

Wang Xiao reorganized the military merit and conferred the title of Tian and gave the Han people who were so depressed that they could not breathe a chance to see the light of day again.

In this era when the family is powerful and controls everything, and which family you are born in determines the fate of your life. The influence brought by Wang Xiao in doing so was no less than the extraterrestrial meteorite summoned by Liu Xiu back then.

The tsunami-like sound of the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City deeply shook the hundreds of officials of the imperial court and the emperor and queen mother in the palace.

Empress Dowager He was very scared, she was worried that Wang Xiao would learn from Wang Mang in this troubled world. If that's the case, they will definitely have no way to live.

So when Wang Xiao came to treat her, Empress Dowager He responded as best she could.

For her, that's all she can do now.

Wang Xiao has no idea of changing the dynasty, Diao Chan's wish is to recreate the glory of the Han Dynasty, not to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Cao Mengde can be a Hanchen for a lifetime, and of course he can.

As for what will happen after he leaves, then he doesn't care.

The conferral of military merits greatly boosted the morale of the army, and all the subordinates were screaming and wanting to fight.

They are eager for military exploits, eager to exchange the heads of their enemies for a better life for themselves and their descendants.

The morale of the army is so usable, Wang Xiao will naturally not waste it.

After solving the strong and powerful counties of the division, Wang Xiao organized soldiers and horses to go to the land of Sanfu.

From the beginning of Guangwu Zhongxing, Guanzhong was in chaos.

The first dynasty fought fiercely with the Red Eyebrow army, coupled with the natural disasters and food shortages, the land of Sanfu was almost in ruins.

After Liu Xiuding was the capital of Luoyang City, Guanzhong has not been able to develop again.

Subsequently, the Qiang and other tribes rose up and constantly attacked Guanzhong. Until this time, Guanzhong was still in tatters.

Previously, Dong Zhuo retreated to Jing Zhaoyin, because the left general Huangfu Song was ordered to cut off his route back to Liangzhou, and had to settle here.

In order to restore his strength, Dong Zhuo wantonly levied and looted all kinds of materials like crazy, and at the same time pulled people into the army to fill up the numbers. As a result, public resentment boiled, and there were constant uprisings in various places.

When Dong Zhuo looted, he didn't distinguish between poor people and strong people, they all robbed without discrimination.

This forced the locals of Jing Zhaoyin and Hongnong County to eagerly await the arrival of the imperial army.

The reason why Wang Xiao didn't come to fight him before was that in addition to the pressure of the Kwantung Alliance, he also wanted to use Dong Zhuo's hand to clean up all the heroes in the pass first.

Wang Xiao personally led an army of 30,000 out of Luoyang City, and went straight to Guanzhong through Hangu Pass.

As we all know, there is a famous checkpoint in the pass, called Tongguan.

When An Lushan rebelled, the Battle of Tongguan can be said to have been famous for thousands of years.

Because of Ge Shuhan's defeat at Tongguan, Yang Yuhuan was pushed out by Li Longji to be a scapegoat in Ma Weiyi.

But in fact, Tongguan at this time has not yet been built, and it will not be built by Cao Cao until the first year of Jian'an.

After passing the Hangu Pass, the road ahead is basically a thoroughfare.

"General, twenty miles ahead is the Muddy Water River, and on the other side is Hongnong, where the Niufu garrison is located."

Because Zhang Liao was stationed at the Tiger Pass, the deputy general beside Wang Xiao was replaced by Huang Zhong.

In terms of unifying the army, Huang Zhong may not be as good as Zhang Liao, but it is not bad.

"Set up camp, cross the river tomorrow afternoon, and I will have dinner in Hongnong County before dark."

"Whoa."

Because the location of Hongnong County is very important, the general stationed here is Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law.

Although Dong Zhuo was furious some time ago because of Jia Xu's defection to Wang Xiao, Niu Fu's status is still unshakable.

He garrisoned Hongnong County with an army of 30,000 as the first line of resistance to Wang Xiao.

Early the next morning, not long after Wang Xiao's departure, Tanmayu, who was about to return from the front, reported that the Niu Auxiliary Army camp on the other side of the river was empty. After asking the locals, it was learned that they had fled to the direction of Jing Zhao Yin last night.

"Are they going to defend Chang'an City?" Wang Xiao was not sure of Dong Zhuo's intentions, and turned his head to ask Jia Xu, who was the Sima of the Chinese army.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "General, Dong Zhuo is going to run away." ”

"Run?"

"Dong Zhuo is suspicious by nature. When he was young, he was bold and dared to run rampant on the grassland. But when he got older, he became suspicious and took his own safety very seriously. ”

Jia Xu has been under Dong Zhuo for many years, and he knows Xiliangjun and Dong Zhuo very well.

"Guanzhong is dilapidated, and Chang'an City has not been repaired for many years. Although they have captured a large number of manpower, their combat effectiveness is worrying. If you want to hold Chang'an City, it is basically impossible. ”

Wang Xiao nodded: "He's going back to Liangzhou." ”

"Yes." Jia Xu echoed and said, "Although General Zuo blocked the road back to Liangzhou. But the people of Qiang are constantly attacking, and Ma Teng and Han Sui and others will also send troops to help. If Dong Zhuo wanted to run, he could still rush over. ”

"General, do you want to order the Yulin Army and the Bingzhou cavalry to chase him down?"

In Jia Xu's opinion, it is not easy for Niu Fu to run away from 20,000 or 30,000 people. The cavalry swarms in pursuit, and there is a great deal of resistance that can crush them.

He didn't expect Wang Xiao to refuse.

"Dong Zhuo's army is all the people he forcibly recruited in the land of Sanfu, and I want to point to them to revitalize Guanzhong. How can you die in such a senseless battle? ”

"The people of Guanzhong are nostalgic for their homeland, even if they are beggars in the year of famine, they will only wander in Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo wanted to take them to Liangzhou, but they would disperse halfway. ”

Jia Xu bowed with joy and sincerity, "The general has insight into everything, and his subordinates admire." ”

Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and others gave their hands to tout, but only Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were confused and didn't say anything.

In fact, Jia Xu was saying in his heart, 'There is still an important point that the general has not said. Dong Zhuo forcibly recruited an army of nearly 100,000, and if he defeated them as a meritorious military merit, it would be too much of a loss. But you can't say it in front of the sergeants. ’

That's why people with smart minds always mix well. They know what to say and what not to say.

I also know when I should express my admiration and sincerity to my boss, so that my boss's heart will be tickled.

People like Dian Wei and Xu Zhu can't see any eyesight, if they are in a company in the modern world, they are just a life guard guarding the garage.

Things turned out to be as Jia Xu said, and the Xiliang army in all parts of Guanzhong fully retreated. When Wang Xiao drove all the way into Chang'an City, he didn't encounter any decent resistance.

"This is Chang'an City?"

I watched as the moat dried up in front of me, and the walls crumbled and collapsed. A city where the houses are mottled and peeled, and the roads are full of all kinds of garbage and dust. Wang Xiao really couldn't connect this place with the famous Chang'an City.

"Since Wang Mang sought power and the Guanzhong chaos to the present, he has not managed this place for more than 100 years."

Jia Xu saw Wang Xiao's thoughts at a glance, and explained in words, "Qiang Di is constantly attacking and harassing, and rebellions are constantly occurring everywhere. So it's ruined. ”

Wang Xiao sighed regretfully, "If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew about this, he would probably run out of Maoling angrily." ”

Jia Xu was surprised, this is a joke about the ancestor of the ghosts and gods, it's not good.

When the army entered the city, the strange smell in the air made Wang Xiao can't help but cover his nose.

"Didn't Lu Zhi keep saying that I was reckless? Since he's so free, let him come here to reorganize Guanzhong. ”

Lu Zhi is a real Confucian, and he is also the teacher of Liu Bei Gongsun Zhan. He couldn't get used to Wang Xiao's wanton suppression of Haoqiang, and he had always been opposed.

Although he was not one of the sixty-four generals of the Wumiao like Huangfu Song, Wang Xiao valued his character and did not send him to open up the wasteland.

Now give this great Confucian who can sit down and talk about the Tao, and can cut people on a horse, a busy job, so that he will not be against himself all day long.

Wang Xiao decided to repair in Chang'an City for a few days, and wait for the arrival of follow-up grain and grass materials before continuing to send troops to Liangzhou.

It's just that something happened the next day.

"What? There was an epidemic in the army, and many people fell ill? ”

When Wang Xiao heard the report of the military medical officer, his first thought was, "The spy left by Dong Zhuo has been poisoned?" ”

Jia Xu, who is in charge of military law and secret investigation, is unwilling to bear this pot.

He hurriedly came out to explain, "General, the supervision in the army is strict, and there is absolutely no possibility of spies getting involved. Moreover, the food materials in the army were carried with the army and were not purchased in Chang'an City. ”

Wang Xiao raised his hand, "Don't say anything, go over and take a look." ”

When I came to the barracks, I saw that many soldiers were constantly diarrhea.

Wang Xiao carefully inspected the gang leader and looked through the food he ate. Finally, I went to the wounded barracks to check on the soldiers who had diarrhea.

"General, what's going on?"

Jia Xu saw that Wang Xiao's face had become strange, and hurriedly asked.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and knocked on the water tank in the barracks, "There is a problem with this water." ”

"Something wrong with the water?"

At this time, Chang'an City was not the same city as the famous Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

The Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty was actually expanded and rebuilt on the basis of the Daxing City built by Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, and it was a brand new city.

In the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was polluted due to the continuous sinking of a large number of pollutants for hundreds of years.

Locals drink it all year round and have become accustomed to it.

But the army brought by Wang Xiao was the first time to try this kind of polluted water source, and a large area immediately fell under the water and soil.

Wang Xiao's face gradually became ugly, because he remembered that the meal he ate last night was also made with local well water, and he drank tea!

'Vomit~'

Although he was in excellent physical condition, this pollution did not affect him much. But when he thought of pollutants, Wang Xiao couldn't help it.

Wang Xiao, who was furious, finally eased up.

His face was as tense as a stone, and the sergeants prescribed herbs to cure diarrhea.

"Send someone to the river to get water, boil it and use it."

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, "Set off as soon as the person is well, I don't want to stay longer for an hour!" ”
