There are no stars and moons, and the clouds are thick. It was supposed to be a dark Chang'an night, but at this moment, it was held by Lu Xiaoshu's Western Expeditionary Army with torches, and the light was red.

The soldiers are five steps, one sentry, ten steps and one post, all of them have solemn expressions, guarding every street and alley intersection of Chang'an City.

Chang'an City has been prosperous since ancient times, and the background of its origin is no longer under Luoyang, but at this time, Chang'an City is a little miserable, and there are ruins and ruins that have not been cleaned up everywhere.

Before Dong Zhuo led his army to escape, a fire set fire to most of Chang'an City, and the people in the city were displaced and homeless.

When Lu Xiaoshu led the army into the city at the beginning, bandits were rampant in the city, and the soldiers were in trouble, and there were even lawbreakers in their own troops, burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering, causing the people to complain and suffer unspeakably.

This is also the main reason why Lu Xiaoshu stopped the army for rectification and did not chase and kill Dong Zhuo.

Lu Xiaoshu ordered Cheng Lian to be in charge of the prison, but those who did not find it were severely punished. In the past few days, Cheng Lian beheaded 73 soldiers who had violated law and discipline, imprisoned more than 300 rioters who had caused trouble in various places, and set up checkpoints in various parts of the city to maintain public order.

He also asked Sima Lang to coordinate with local officials to resettle the people whose houses were damaged and provide them with basic living guarantees.

This brought Chang'an's order back on track.

Lu Xiaoshu's face was gloomy, and his head was big because of the bullshit of the past few days, and he was pinching and kneading his temples with his thumb and middle finger at this time.

Yang Xiu below was still talking, and he didn't seem to see the coach's reluctant look.

Sima Lang sat on his knees, like a Buddha statue in meditation, squinting at Yang Xiu in his right hand, with a face that was loveless.

The generals sat down in turn, and today's meeting lasted for three hours, and their legs were numb on their knees, and they had already sat cross-legged and drowsy.

Lu Xiaoshu elbowed the table, stroked his forehead, and gently brushed his temples with both hands, only to feel that Yang Xiu's voice was a little better, and with his rhythmic rhythm, his mind was leisurely, and he went straight to the nine heavens and clouds.

Cheng Lian entered from the outside, his expression was solemn and urgent, he didn't pay attention to everyone, hurriedly walked to Lu Xiaoshu's side, and saw that he seemed to be deep in thought, so he whispered in his ear, took out something from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoshu, it was actually a letter.

Lu Xiaoshu had already fallen into the silent mountains, rivers and seas, and was dreaming of countless beautiful young ladies who did not wear fancy clothes and did not wear silk Luo rushing towards him, and he was thinking of great things, and when he heard Cheng Lian's whispers in his ear, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

I was spirited, took the letter in Cheng Lian's hand, opened it and read it carefully.

There are only a few numbers in the letter: Da Sima was stabbed by Cao Cao, died, Luoyang was in chaos, return quickly! The payment is Zhang Liao.

The handwriting was scribbled and messy, apparently written in a hurry, and the handwriting was folded before it was dry, and the ink was interlaced and mottled.

Lu Xiaoshu stood up, his heart was like a knife, as if he had pressed a thousand catties of boulder, and his face turned blue!

Everyone present saw Cheng Lian coming in a hurry, his expression was different, and he knew that something big had happened, and even Yang Xiu, who was speaking, stopped speaking, and at this time, seeing Lu Xiaoshu's expression changed greatly, everyone also sank in their hearts, and they all got up and stood up, waiting for the boss's instructions.

Lu Xiaoshu's heart ached, he was reborn, Ding Yuan regarded him as his own, and he had the grace to recreate. His current status and warm family are inseparable from his help, and he has long regarded him as a real father. Now that he is suffering and dead, how can he not make people grief-stricken?

His hands trembled and clenched, the letter in his hand was crumpled and crumpled, and he threw it on the ground, his face was hideous, his eyes were wide open, two lines of hot tears rolled down, and he hissed: "Cao Cao dog thief, I won't kill you, I swear not to be a man!" ”

Sima Lang leaned over and picked up the paper ball, opened it and looked at it, he was also shocked in his heart, this change can really be said to be earth-shattering, the Luoyang rebellion caused by the death of the general He Jin has just been calmed down, it has only been a few months? Da Sima was assassinated again, and the world of the Han Dynasty is really ill-fated.

Lu Xiaoshu still pressed his hand on the desk, bowed down and was sad, everyone read the letters one by one, their hearts were shocked, they looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak.

Sima Lang saw that Lu Xiaoshu was heartbroken, and everyone had no backbone for a while, and they didn't know what to do, so he said in a deep voice: "General, at this moment, I will go back to Luoyang immediately to calm the chaos, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the young emperor." ”

The generals shouted in unison: "Please give the general an order!" ”

Lu Xiaoshu's expression tightened, seeing that the generals were solemn and solemn, he looked forward to his own horse, but he was deeply in back pain and couldn't extricate himself, he really shouldn't, he forcibly collected the grief in his heart, and hissed: "Ling Ma Teng and Wei Xu led 20,000 troops to garrison Chang'an, in case Dong Zhuo heard the news." Xu Huang and Hou Cheng led 20,000 cavalry to follow me first, and the rest immediately set off in full gear and returned to Luoyang overnight. ”

Luoyang, the Marquis of Anyi's mansion. The door is closed.

Yan Xiuli stood under the eaves with a spear in hand and light armor, and the three hundred guards in the house were all armed with bows and arrows, guarding the surrounding courtyards and eaves walls.

Outside the Hou Mansion, in the open space in front of the mansion gate, dozens of corpses were lying horizontally and vertically, all of which were killed by random arrows. There were more than 1,000 people outside the mansion, all armed with long knives, each surrounding the Hou Mansion, shouting loudly: "On the orders of the emperor, kill Ding Yuan's rebel party, and the people in the mansion will be captured with their hands tied, but the whole corpse can be left, and the rebels will be punished by the nine clans." ”

The partial general Hao Meng walked behind Yan Xiuli, bowed down and said: "Mrs. Qiyu, we have been surrounded, if we don't break through and escape in time, and wait for the rebels to gather more, we won't be able to leave." ”

Yan Xiuli's eyes surged, and she thought in her heart: If she breaks through and escapes, won't she be sad if her husband can't see her when she comes to her? The emotions in his heart surged, and he turned around a thousand times, and said quietly: "You wait to strictly guard the gates everywhere, if someone approaches, shoot them immediately, and the Hou Ye will definitely come to rescue me in time." ”

Hao Meng saw that his housemother was heroic and sassy, quite a general's demeanor, and his own general was really a match made in heaven, so he admired it in his heart and took the order.

Lu Xiaoshu rode his horse all the way, day and night, and finally arrived in Luoyang the next night, only to see the wolf smoke billowing everywhere in Luoyang City, shouting and killing and fighting one after another, and he was worried in his heart, and hurried to the Hou Mansion.

Lu Xiaoshu was anxious in his heart, and he didn't wait for the army to follow all the way, only his generals followed left and right. From a distance, I saw the smoke billowing from the Hou Mansion of Anyi, the door of the mansion was wide open, and the sound of shouting and killing was endless.

Hurriedly rode a horse and rushed in, the outer courtyard was full of corpses, and the fierce battle was evident. Xun Sheng ran into the inner courtyard, but the sight made him stunned and almost laughed.

I saw 300 Houfu guards slaughtering into the miscellaneous rebel army of more than 1,000 people, invincible, as if entering a no-man's land, the chaotic army fled in all directions, and did not dare to fight back!

These 300 guards were the only 300 cavalry left in the battle against Dong Zhuo in the western suburbs of Luoyang that day, and everyone was the survivor of a hundred battles.

And this group of rebels does not know where they came from, apparently most of them have never been on the battlefield, and at this time, like flies, they are only concerned about screaming in terror and hiding in Tibet.

Hao Meng and Wei Yue stood at the foot of the steps, blocking the exit of the gate of the inner courtyard to prevent the rebels from escaping and reporting the news, and a pile of rebel corpses was piled up in front of them.

Yan Xiuli led more than a dozen ladies to stand on the roof, shooting arrows with bows and arrows, aiming at Zhenghuan.
