Chapter 254: Shile slaughters the city in full madness
How are you doing these years? Yang Xianrong lived in the inner palace, had no worries about food and clothing, and also cooperated with Sima Chili to arrest Sima Yue, so that he would no longer be in danger. She's doing well. But is it really good? Her mother died, her master died, Liu Yao was gone, Liu Ling was gone, Sima Xuanhua was missing, Nian'er was also missing, and the people close to her left her one by one, making her suffer from longing. She's not good, she's not good at all.
"Don't worry." Liu Yao took Yang Xianrong's hand and said softly: "I'm here, and I won't leave again." ”
Yang Xianrong has too much to say to Liu Yao, but there is a lot of time to say these words in the future, she is anxious about other things now, she has already been regarded as a big man, and this notoriety will definitely fall, but she is a Jin person in the end, and she is deeply taken care of by Sima Chi, and at this last moment, she can't just care about reuniting with her sweetheart and ignore everything outside the Hongxun Palace.
"Ah Yao," Yang Xianrong asked, "Did you just come from the Taiji Palace?" ”
Liu Yao nodded and said, "The emperor has already fled Luoyang City, do you know that I was a little flustered when I entered the Taiji Hall and found that there was no one, I was afraid that you would also escape." But this panic lasted for a short time, because I believe in you, and you will be waiting for me. ”
Yes, they have worked hard for so long, where is the reason to leave again?
"Then the emperor is good to you?" Liu Yao asked again.
"Well, if he hadn't taken care of me in many ways, I might not have survived now." Yang Xianrong said: "He is my benefactor. I asked him to leave Luoyang City, no matter what, he is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and now that Luoyang City is broken, I will at least save his life. ”
Liu Yao smiled: "In addition to running in the direction of Chang'an, where else can he run?" ”
Yang Xianrong's face changed suddenly, he grabbed Liu Yao's sleeve, and asked nervously, "Did you send someone to chase him?" ”
"I can't help but chase." Liu Yao said: "But don't worry, I can promise you that I won't hurt him by half a point, since he is your benefactor, he is also my benefactor, no matter what, I will protect him." ”
Yang Xianrong let go of his hand in despair and sighed: "I can't escape after all." "Sima Chi is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, and now he has become a prisoner of the enemy country, if he is a more thoughtful person, he is afraid that he will immediately commit suicide to thank the country, but Sima Chi will not, he has always been cynical on the surface, but he is resolute in his heart, and he can bear all kinds of things, so it is not impossible for him to endure humiliation and burden, but although he is a good emperor, I am afraid that he will be crowned with a reputation for cowardice in the future.
"Where's Qin'er?" Liu Yao suddenly asked: "I know that he has not been made the crown prince, don't worry, I won't embarrass him, he called me father for two years, if he wants to leave me, I won't have a word, anyway, he is also a 'dead' person in your Jin Dynasty." ”
"He followed the emperor, and when the time comes, go and stay, you can ask him for his own opinion." Sheep offer Rongrong.
Liu Yao sensitively felt that Yang Xianrong's mood was not high, and he asked a little nervously, "What's wrong with you?" Not happy? Do you want me to tell me everything I do? Whatever you ask, I will do whatever I can. ”
Yang Xianrong shook his head with a smile, simply got up and sat down beside Liu Yao, gently leaned his head on his shoulder, and said: "It's not that I'm not unhappy, it's just that although I'm happy to see you, I'm still sad about the fall of the Jin Dynasty, don't be careful, I'm a Jin person, even if I'm disappointed and discouraged in this court, no one wants to see it perish." ”
"I understand your mind, I have also lived in Luoyang for many years, and I also have deep feelings for Luoyang, but do you look at Luoyang over the years and what we looked like when we were children? Jin Ting is incompetent, it is a matter of time before he is replaced, and without me there will be others. Liu Yao touched the head of the sheep and said: "It is because we have also lived in Luoyang, so we will treat this city well, treat the people of this city well, I assure you that my fourth brother is a good emperor, and he will make this city rejuvenate again." Liu Yao sighed: "I know what kind of criticism you will endure when you are with me, but I Liu Yao has nothing else, only a sincere heart for you, I will try my best to protect you, and please give me some confidence, and also give us some confidence in the future." ”
Yang Xianrong smiled and said, "Silly, I don't believe who else can you trust?" ”
The two were still hugging each other and talking, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and then Zhang Hui ran in in a panic and shouted, "A team of soldiers broke in outside." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yao got up and walked out, and Yang Xianrong followed him. When he arrived outside the house, the courtyard was already full of soldiers, Liu Yao frowned, and was about to ask questions, when he saw a person break in from outside. The person who came was Liu Cang, who was Liu Cong's eldest son, he was not very old now, and he was raised in the palace with a stubborn spirit, Liu Cong saw that he was not used to it, so he simply let him follow Liu Yao on the expedition, so that he could endure hardships and learn from this little uncle.
Although Liu Cang is stubborn and lazy, he has an excellent temperament, except for the trembling when he sees his father, the rest of the time he is smiling, and he is good to everyone, even those slaves, he can get along with them, and he has no fight, so he is very popular among the sergeants. This expedition with Liu Yao can be regarded as a long experience, and the worship of Liu Yao is tight, and he has made great progress than before, Liu Yao is strong, and he also takes more care of this nephew, and the things that can be done by him will not be tied up because he is young, and he has a lot of freedom, so that Liu Cang, who has been strictly controlled by his father since he was a child, is very enjoyable.
So as soon as he entered Luoyang City, Liu Cang took the initiative to ask Ying to follow Shi Le to deal with the follow-up matters, he knew that Liu Yao was going to pick up his future aunt, of course, he would not come up without interest. Shi Le is also a general he admires, and what he hears most about in Pingyang is Shi Le's military exploits one after another, and the influence of such heroes on boys is extremely far-reaching.
Liu Yao was relieved to see that it was Liu Cang who came in, but seeing that his face was not good, he asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't you follow General Shi to run errands? ”
"Uncle," Liu Cang was so anxious that his head was full of sweat, and he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yao's shirt, and said, "General Shi has killed a lot of people, and I can't stop it." ”
"What did you say?" Liu Yao was shocked, he glanced back at Yang Xianrong, and found that her face was also pale in an instant, he hurriedly supported her, and asked again, "You make it clear." ”
"General Shi first went to Yuzhang Wangfu to kill the prince Sima Quan, and then slaughtered all the people in Yuzhang Wangfu, I stopped him and he scolded me for being a little kid who was ignorant, and then out of Yuzhang Wangfu, he went along the street to see the mansion and entered, and after entering, he killed people when he saw them, and when I came, I had already walked two streets, and the blood flowed like a river." After Liu Cang finished speaking, he was so anxious that he pulled Liu Yao's arm and said, "Uncle, come with me to take a look, any later, all the people in Luoyang City will be killed." ”
Liu Yao didn't dare to stop for a moment, followed Liu Cang out of the Hongxun Palace, and then out of the palace, and walked west, but half an hour later, he saw a tragic scene in the world, the whole street was covered with bloody footprints, which was the footsteps of the soldiers who stepped on the blood after killing people and then marched to the next family. The doors of several Jin Dynasty ministers' houses along the street were all opened, and there were several corpses lying on their stomachs at the door, Liu Yao casually entered a house, and the courtyard was full of dead people, and then walked inside, a man in the front hall sat on a chair, with a look of horror on his face, obviously he was killed before he could react. Further down into the backyard, several women, the youngest of whom looked to be less than ten years old, lay naked on the ground.
"Bastard." Liu Yao covered Liu Can's eyes with one hand and scolded angrily, he was trembling with anger, he knew that Shi Le was cruel, and he told him to obey all orders before entering the city, who would have thought that it was only a few hours later, and he turned Luoyang City into a hell on earth.
Liu Yao's palms were a little wet, and it was Liu Cang who was crying. He hurriedly took Liu Cang out, and when he saw that he was sad, he said: "I will definitely play the heavens for such evil deeds of General Shi, Cang'er, you are still young, you can't stand such a scene, go back first." ”
Liu Cang shook his head and choked up, "I'm not afraid." ”
Liu Yao patted Liu Cang's shoulder, no longer persuaded, but took him to quickly chase after Shi Le.
When he found Shile, it was already dark, Shile was red-eyed, and at this time he was holding a bowl of human blood, and drank it with a cruel smile, and then he laughed contentedly with his long red mouth and blood-colored teeth.
"Shile." Liu Yao shouted angrily: "What have you done? Who gave you the power to slaughter the people of Luoyang? Don't give the order quickly and let your men stop. ”
Entering Luoyang this time, in addition to the 30,000 horses under Liu Yao is Shi Le's 20,000 soldiers, these people have been following Shi Le's expedition to the east and west, and they have long become his subordinate army, except for his orders, no one listens, it is Liu Yao who ordered to stop killing people while looking for Shi Le, but no one listened to him. 20,000 horses dispersed, and in half a day, I don't know how many homes were broken into and how many lives were taken.
"What are you doing sympathizing with these Jin people?" Shi Le said indifferently: "King Shi'an is too soft-hearted, didn't he give them a chance to fight back when he was soft-hearted to the enemy?" I am reassuring Your Majesty, there is no possibility of chaos in Luoyang City. ”
"Fight back? Most of the people you killed were subordinates in the Jin Dynasty officials' mansions, ordinary people, what ability did they have to fight back? Liu Yao pointed to the open doors behind him: "And those women, you not only killed them, but also connived at your subordinates ......" Liu Yao couldn't bear to say those filthy words, and trembled with anger: "You are not as good as a beast." ”
Shi Le smiled indifferently, looked at Liu Cang, who was trembling on the side, walked up to him, grinned at him, and asked, "Your Highness thinks so too?" ”
Where has Liu Cang seen such a scene, the general in front of him, who he has always admired, still has human blood on his lips at this time, and his face is also on, as soon as he speaks, a strong smell of blood will come to his face. Liu Cang felt sick in his heart, ran to the side of the wall, and vomited the contents of his stomach cleanly.
"Useless stuff." Shile said contemptuously.
"Presumptuous." Liu Yao was furious and ordered Shi Le to be arrested left and right pending trial. But Shile's people are not vegetarians, they saw that Liu Yao was going to make a move, and immediately protected Shile's surroundings, and for a while, the two groups of men and horses who were attacking the city together in the morning formed an opposing situation, and the swords were tense.
