Chapter 35: Disorder
Spring is in full bloom, and the season is just right. It's a pity that Luoyang City is in a panic, whether it is the ministers and nobles, or the common people, they all feel that this day is passing day by day, such as suffering. Finally, at the end of March, the bad news came, the front line was defeated, and the whole army was wiped out!
Let's say that Erzhu Zhao rushed to build a raft, and the momentum was huge, and the woods in the county along the river were almost cut down, but there were thousands of light rafts, which was better than Erzhu Rong's time. One day and one night, along the river for hundreds of miles, 100,000 troops fought for the crossing, and the Wei army on the south bank could not stop it at all.
Although there were many famous generals in the South Bank Army, the combat strength of tens of thousands of recruits was really not flattering, and the morale was depressed early. So from the south bank of the river to the north of Luoyang City, there were routs everywhere, and the whole thing became a pot of porridge.
The lord fell from his horse in front of the battle, but fortunately the die-hard guards took it back, but he fled in the chaos and disappeared. was high and brave, and with a horse lance, he opened the bloody road, and ensured that Yang Kan and Wen Zisheng fled back to Luoyang.
Pei Guo was bloodied all over his body, his head was dizzy, and he fought endlessly, so he was so careful that he ran to grab his bridle and shouted: "The general trend has gone, there is no need to die here!" Don't forget that you still have a wife waiting for you at home! ”
"Yingmei!" Pei Guo suddenly woke up, where is there still half a minute of hesitation? Immediately turn the horse's head and run. The yellow horse galloped like lightning, and in a moment it left the pursuers far behind. The mount under the crotch was also extraordinary, and in the sound of boo, it followed. There was no calculation of the rout along the way, everyone was fighting for their lives, and there was no shortage of big fights and even drawing swords against each other, but fortunately, his two horses were fast and his riding skills were fine, so he finally did not get involved in the rout group.
The people in the city heard the news, and piled up to get out ---of the city, dragging their families and pulling carts, and it became a mess; The defeated general outside the city fled into the city in a hurry, no matter which one he saw in front of him, and when he was crazy, it was as if he drew his sword and slashed indiscriminately, so the cry shook the sky, and the chaos intensified; There were also city guards who shouted loudly, hoping to disperse the crowd and closed the city gates...
Pei Guo sighed, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but shouted: "Brother Sijing, take care!" "Pull the horse's head, throw it to the west--- although the Daxia Gate can't enter, it doesn't hurt, Shouqiuli is located in the west of Guocheng outside Luoyang, you can go west bypassing Kim Yong City, find a Waiguo City Gate to enter, and then run south.
In the same way, Jianyangli, where Yu Jin lives, is located in the east of Waiguo City, and at this time, he should pull Ma Dong, so Pei Guo said hello, don't go, ---don't go, the situation is compelling, but there is no time to "say goodbye".
didn't want to run out of a section, the horse's hooves were clattering behind him, and Yu Jin actually chased after him. Pei Guo was stunned: "Brother Sijing, you... ”
Yu Jin knew what Pei Guo was going to ask, his face flushed, and he said: "The family has been settled for a long time, and they are not in Luoyang at this time. The left and right are trying to escape, so it's better to be with Xiaokuan. It turned out that he saw the opportunity early, and when he went down the mountain to the camp on the south bank, he silently made the Luoyang family move away.
"That's for the best!" Pei Guo was happy for his old friend from the bottom of his heart, and he urged the horse to gallop all the way. Fortunately, there is a gate outside Guo City that is not closed, although there are also many people who are rushing out of the city, so he let the two of them break in, and they dare not stay, but run back to Shouqiu.
The war is unfavorable, and even the people in Luoyang City know how to prepare early, not to mention these princes and nobles in Shouqiu. The well-informed, timid and afraid of death had already moved their families out of the city in the first two days, and most of the remaining people who did not leave felt that they could not be implicated, or that they had something to do with the Erzhu family, so they simply closed their doors. As a result, there are few cars and horses on the long street, and compared with other Luli, Shouqiu is much quieter.
When he arrived at the Champion Hou Mansion, Pei Guo jumped off the horse, slammed the door hard while shouting, and knocked loudly. The door opened, Yu Wenying put a golden knife on his back and led the horse out, and when he saw Pei Guo, his face was sultry: "It's good to come back." She is not an ordinary person, she has already been prepared, and as soon as she raised her hand, she threw a blanket at Pei Guo. Pei Guo took it, it turned out to be full, full of dry food and water.
Pei Guo and Yu Wenying have never been wealthy, and they don't have anything at home, so it's convenient to leave. As for the pair of slaves in the house, they were dismissed long ago, Pei Guo also made a deed to restore the two of them to freedom, and Yu Wenying even sent him entangled, and the two of them left with a thousand thanks.
After receiving Yu Wenying, Pei Guo was very determined, so he asked Yu Jin: "Brother Sijing, the matter has come to this, Luoyang can't stay, I plan to take Yingmei to Guanzhong West and defect to the Black Otter." Dare to ask where is Brother Sijing's family? The two of us are not in a hurry, I can give you a ride, and there will be a good response on the way. ”
Yu Wenying heard it on the sidelines, and there was a burst of joy: What if the world is turned upside down outside? I just want to be with Pei Lang and my brother, and I will be safe and sound, and this life is enough.
Yu Jin's face was red again: "Don't hide filial piety, my Yu family has relatives in Guanzhong... When I was at home the previous time, I was sent to Guanzhong. ”
Pei Guo froze for a moment, then couldn't hold back, and laughed: "That's good!" This is to go to Guanzhong Lu Yao, you and I together, the best! ”
At this moment, the side door of the Jiangyang Palace, next door, suddenly opened, and a tall young man ran out and shouted, "Is the champion Hou back?" Hurry, hurry, hurry, Father... Father, please! Panting and looking quite anxious, it turned out to be Yuan Xin, the grandson of Jiangyang Wang Yuanji.
Since coming to Luoyang, Pei Guo has been taken care of by Lao Yuan a lot, and he is quite emotional, once he goes, I am afraid that there will be no chance to see each other again, so I want to say hello. Pei Guo didn't dare to slack off, and followed Yuan Xin all the way to the palace, and went straight into the palace, Yu Wenying also admired the kindness of the old king, and followed him in, so he stayed with Yu Jin to watch the horse outside.
Entering the inner room, Pei Guo was taken aback, it turned out that the old Yuanji on the bed was pale and dying. When I asked, I learned that Yuan Ji suffered from a cold a few days ago, and he was already old and frail, so he couldn't afford to get sick.
When Yuan Ji saw Pei Guo come in, his originally cloudy eyes actually flashed with bright light, and he struggled to get up.
"Don't move, the king is so good to lie down." Pei Guo hurriedly stepped forward to support him and persuaded him gently. I didn't want Lao Yuanji to suddenly exert his strength and get rid of him, and his voice was quite loud: "Don't think that if I lie here, I don't know what is going on outside!" ”
Pei Guo was stunned, and listened to Yuan Ji say again: "Filial piety! But I beg you something, you will definitely promise me! ”
Pei Guo became more and more confused, but he also nodded and said: "The king just said that Pei Guo obeyed his fate. ”
Yuan Ji pointed to Yuan Xin, who was full of anxiety on the side, and said in a deep voice: "My sons all went before me, leaving such a grandchild... Now that things are in a hurry, the thief is close at hand, only please Xiaokuan, take my grandson away and fly high, it can be counted... It's okay to save me a post. Speaking of this, he coughed repeatedly, and his body fell down, but he kept talking: "Xin'er, remember, from now on, Xiaokuan will be your own brother, and he will listen to him for everything." ”
It turned out that Lao Yuan was here to help Gu, Pei Guo didn't expect it, and blurted out: "This... ”
"What's wrong?" Yuan Ji's face became paler and paler, and he said hurriedly: "This kid can finally ride a horse and shoot arrows, but it won't drag you down... ”
"If that's not the case... Pei Guo hurriedly said: "I mean, why doesn't the king go with us?" Pei Guo has a horse by his side, and he must protect the king from the city! ”
"I have a heart." Yuan Ji waved his hand again and again, and laughed even more: "You have this intention, Yuan Ji is grateful." It's just this body of wind and candles, what's the benefit of leaving? Without waiting for Pei Guo to speak again, he suddenly shouted: "Go!" Come on! Otherwise, I'll be killed right now to show you!" ”
"Whoa!" Pei Guo straightened up, his eyes full of tears. Behind him, Yu Wenying was already in tears, and she burst out of her nose. . .
Yuan Xin knelt down in front of the couch and cried, but he hugged Pei Guo and dragged him away...
。。。。。。
The four horses galloped out of Shouqiuli, went straight west along the royal road, crossed the long ditch bridge, and went out of the city.
On horseback, Pei Guo glanced back inadvertently, and the long smoke in the distance was everywhere, and the eyes were staggered, Luoyang City was gradually unrecognizable, and only the towering Yongning Temple Tower was still there. He turned his head and was slightly stunned: "Son of Heaven... Still in the palace? ”
Yu Jin was gloomy for a while, and he snorted twice, but finally didn't say anything...
。。。。。。
The iron cavalry was raging and unstoppable, and finally converged into the stormy Luoyang City from all directions.
Under the blood-colored chaos, Er Zhu Zhao roared like a ghost: "Xu Er and others entered the city and plundered, and they didn't seal the knife for three days!"
