Chapter 349: Huishi Tongguan
"Jia Wenhe, did you write this letter or did I write it?"
Wen Han frowned, looking a little impatient and asked Jia Xu.
"Wang Situ is cautious, it is more appropriate for Wen Champion to write this letter."
"In that case, you will be by the side."
"Naturally."
Wen Han said that, then walked to a table and sat down, Jia Xu with a light smile, grinding ink for Wen Han beside him. And after Wen Han put down the pen, he would point out from time to time.
About half a pillar of incense, Wen Han gave the written letter to Jia Xu to read, Jia Xu read it several times, and after making sure that it was correct, Wen Han handed the letter to Guan Yu.
Guan Yu cautiously put the letter in his arms, and after listening to Wen Han and Jia Xu explain the details to be paid attention to, he left.
However, it was said that Cao Cao led the army of righteous teachers to Tongguan, and rushed to Tongguan just a day after Guan Yu left Tongguan. The defenders on Tongguan saw the horses' hooves and footsteps in the distance, and the flags were covering the sun, so they knew that a large army was pressing and hurriedly reported to Wen Han.
Wen Han calculated the time and guessed that this was likely to be the army of righteous teachers, so he immediately sent scouts to investigate, and after a while, the scouts who had completed the investigation came back to report that this army was indeed the righteous master led by Cao Cao.
Wen Han was overjoyed, that is, he led a group of soldiers to greet the army of righteous teachers under Tongguan.
As the sound of the march that seemed to be able to break through the world was getting closer and closer, Wen Han gradually saw the figure of Cao Cao, who was walking at the forefront of the army. Cao Cao rode a BMW to the forefront, wearing a black lion-headed beast-faced fish scale armor and a black silk and gold dragon pattern robe, showing his domineering nature.
At the same time, Cao Cao also found Wen Han under Tongguan, and immediately a smile rose on his face, and he rode his horse to Tongguan. Just when he was only ten steps away from Wen Han, he flew off his horse and walked quickly towards Wen Han.
Looking at the man in front of him, Cao Cao's expression was very complicated, and he had to make Cao Cao feel a sense of awe. Because, this is a man who is willing to sacrifice.
"Wen Bufan is righteous, please accept Cao's worship!"
Wen Han didn't know that Cao Cao would make a move, and when he wanted to stop it, Cao Cao had already done it deeply. The princes behind Cao Cao also dismounted one after another and bowed to Wen Han.
"Champion Wen, please accept our worship!!"
And soon, the army of righteous teachers behind the princes also shouted in unison.
"Champion Wen, please accept our worship!!"
Wen Han's righteous act of leading 8,000 people to seize Tongguan spread almost all the soldiers and horses in the righteous division. No one was touched by his heroic deeds of putting life and death at risk. So this worship, everyone is sincere, spontaneous.
And in the righteous division, in addition to Cao Cao, the leader of the general alliance, who has received such a great gift, there is now one more person, and that is Wen Han.
"You don't want to be like this, Wen Bufan really can't afford to be a big gift."
If Jia Xu hadn't told him about the impact of preventing Dong Zhuo from moving the capital, perhaps Wen Han would gladly accept everyone's salutes.
But at this time, he was ashamed.
"Haha, you're pretending to be modest with this extraordinary article. It really deserves to be punished! ”
Cao Cao laughed, thinking that Wen Han was being modest, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and then turned around and said.
"Okay, all the princes have trekked through mountains and rivers this time, and they have come all the way to this Tongguan, they must all be tired, so quickly lead the soldiers into the pass to rest."
After saying that Cao Cao grabbed Wen Han, he asked very solemnly about the war that Wen Han had experienced in Tongguan, Wen Han's face sank, thinking of the tragic war in Tongguan in the past, and the blood-colored gunpowder smoke that had been washed by the heavy rain around Tongguan seemed to be vivid.
Wen Han talked to Cao Cao and walked into the customs with him. In it, Cao Cao rarely spoke, but when he heard that Tongguan had been engulfed by a monstrous fire, his expression instantly became extremely nervous, and then he heard that a timely rain suddenly came to extinguish the fire, and this nervousness turned into sighs and exclamations.
"Such a death situation can also be turned into a disaster, and your life is really hard enough. It seems that you are one of the few people in the world who has great luck! ”
The army of righteous teachers has arrived at Tongguan, and Dong Zhuo, who was in Chang'an at this time, has not yet learned.
Chang'an City, in the Western Zhou Dynasty called Feng Hao. Feng Ho is the collective name of Feng Jing and Hao Jing, which were built by King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou respectively. The area where Feng Ho is located is called Zongzhou. Qin is called the internal history, to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Gaozu Liu Bangding capital Guanzhong, placed Chang'an County, built a new city in the territory of Chang'an County, named Chang'an City, which means long-term peace and stability.
Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, during the period of Dingdu, rebuilt the palace on the south bank of the Wei River, the north side of Afang Palace, and Qin Xingle Palace, named Changle Palace, and later built Weiyang Palace. Later, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty built a city wall in Chang'an. Subsequently, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Jing Zhaoyin to govern Chang'an, and carried out a large-scale expansion of Chang'an City, building the North Palace, Gui Palace and Mingguang Palace, and expanding the Shanglin Garden in the west of the city, digging the Kunming Pond, and building the Zhang Palace.
In the more than 200-year history of the Western Han Dynasty, Chang'an has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Since Emperor Wu was the time of Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions, the trade route was opened, and Chang'an City became a bridge connecting the outer regions and the starting point of the Silk Road, and it prospered for a while. In its heyday, there were nearly 100,000 households and hundreds of thousands of people in the city.
It's a pity that in the late Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang was in power, Chang'an City was destroyed in the war. To the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuding capital Luoyang, Chang'an changed to Xijing.
Now Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned to Chang'an again under the hostage of Dong Zhuo, at this time Chang'an has no prosperity in the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is a little deserted compared with Luoyang.
If the Weiyang Palace is dilapidated, there are still many traces left by the war everywhere. However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, several generations of emperors have intended to build Changle Palace, but this project is really huge, and each time it starts to build not long after, it is forced to stop the construction because of a lot of disasters and disasters in the society at that time.
"Please also ask the saint to be wronged for a few days, and after this Xiangguo will repel Cao Mengde and other traitors, he will definitely gather manpower to build a large number of buildings and rebuild Weiyang Palace!"
Dong Zhuo knelt down on one knee in front of Emperor Han Xian, and his bearded fat face was stunned.
"It's really hard work. Xiangguo did his best for the Han family, and fought fiercely with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other traitors, but unfortunately the thieves were huge and approached Luoyang. Xiangguo spared no effort to escort me out of Luoyang with an army of 100,000 troops, and this loyalty really touched me.
I intend to call Xiangguo as Shang's father, Dong Huang, the brother of Shangfu, as the general of Zuo and the Marquis of Hu, and Dong Huang, the nephew of Shangfu, as the servant and the commander-in-chief of the forbidden army. I wonder if Father Shang is willing to accept my heart? ”
"Holy Longen, the minister doesn't dare to take it! Rest assured, the ministers should do their best to get rid of the traitors and stabilize the world for the Han dynasty!! ”
In fact, before Dong Zhuo came, he had already ordered a small eunuch to inform Emperor Han Xian that he wanted to make this gift. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was like a puppet in Dong Zhuo's hands, at the mercy of Dong Zhuo.
"Hahaha, the lord of a country is forced to confess to a thief as his father. Dong Zhuo, you bully the monarch to gain power and play with the dynasty. I can't wait for that Cao Mengde to attack Chang'an as soon as possible and break your body into ten thousand pieces!! ”
Emperor Han Xian's face was expressionless, but he was full of grief in his heart, but he couldn't show it, otherwise he would be tortured by Dong Zhuo many times.
"Father is righteous, there is no need to kneel from today on."
"The emperor's grace is vast, and the minister has thanked the saint here."
Dong Zhuo slowly stood up with a huge body, and smiled at Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian's scalp was numb, thinking that Dong Zhuo Ding wanted to stay on the dragon bed at night, and he was treacherous
Palace Concubine.
At this moment, Li Ru walked in from outside the Yang Palace, and after kneeling to Emperor Han Xian, he made a gesture towards Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo nodded to Li Ru secretly and motioned for him to go out and wait. Then after appeasing Emperor Han Xian for a while, he retreated and left.
Outside the Weiyang Palace, Li Ru closed his eyes and waited for Dong Zhuo quietly, and after hearing the sound of heavy footsteps coming from the Weiyang Palace, he knew that Dong Zhuo had walked out, and quickly opened his eyes to greet him.
"Wenyou, let you wait for a long time. What do you have to report? ”
"Lord Bing, just now the three generals Niu Fu, Li Xu, and Lu Bu have returned with the army, and they originally wanted to wait for the lord, but when Confucianism saw that the three of them were tired, he took it upon himself to order them to go back and rest, and then report to the lord tomorrow."
"Well, after they come back, Chang'an will be stable. Wen You, how many soldiers and horses do we still have in Chang'an now? ”
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru seemed to be wandering through their own back garden, strolling all the way through the Weiyang Palace.
Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's question about the soldiers and horses, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but be a little sentimental.
"Our Liangzhou army now has less than 120,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an."
Dong Zhuo stopped suddenly, his evil eyes widened, and his whole body seemed to have ignited a flame.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!! At our peak, we had a full 300,000 men and horses. Doesn't this mean that our Liangzhou Erlang is nearly 100,000 dead at the hands of Cao Cao's group of traitors! ”
"The Lord is angry. There is no reason for immortality in this war. Although we lost more than 100,000 Liangzhou sons, Cao Cao's group of rebels suffered many casualties! ”
"Hateful, hateful!! If this group of traitors falls into the hands of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Kingdom will cut off their hands and feet, gouge their eyes, cut off their mouths and tongues, and cook them in a cauldron!! ”
In an instant, Dong Zhuo's anger seemed to turn into endless hatred, and Li Ru trembled when he heard it, because he knew that Dong Zhuo was not talking angry at all, this terrifying technique he had used on many officials who resisted him.
Dong Zhuo roared for a while, kicking a few horizontal railings in a row, startling many palace maids and eunuchs who walked not far away.
"Drink~!"
Dong Zhuo took a big breath, suppressed his anger, and then saw the horizontal fence that was kicked by himself, as if he remembered something, he mentioned it to Li Ru.
"That's right, Wenyou. Tomorrow, an order will be sent to the twelve counties of Liangzhou, and the county taishou will move one-tenth of the population of their counties to Chang'an. Now Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, how can it be so deserted. After the people of Liangzhou came, you began to prepare to rebuild the Weiyang Palace, so that it could regain the spirit of the imperial palace in the Western Han Dynasty. ”
When Li Ru heard that Dong Zhuo was going to withdraw the population from Liangzhou, he was immediately shocked, and then he couldn't bear it.
"What? Wen You, do you have an opinion on the approach of this Xiangguo? ”
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was very displeased, and asked viciously.
