No. 029 Ghost City Luoyang

The two men stood at the door, each with their own heart, and neither of them spoke.

After a full two quarters of an hour, Jin Jue found that Cai Wenji in front of him was standing against the door, and she seemed to be standing a little unsteadily.

So, without saying a word, he grabbed one of Cai Wenji's hands again, supported her, and limped into the room.

In this era, there are no tables, chairs and benches, and this is not a city, but a checkpoint, so the layout of the room is naturally very simple. Jin Jue watched for a long time, but he really couldn't find a place to sit, so he had to help Cai Wenji to the bed, he found something casually, put it under his buttocks, and sat down slowly with an oblique body.

There was silence again, and after a long time, Jin Jue first opened his mouth to apologize: "Wen Ji! Boy, I'll be here to accompany you first. As you guessed, no matter what the outcome of tomorrow is, I must leave, even if I am defeated and killed, I will die without regrets. However, at that time, I couldn't protect myself, and it was really inconvenient to keep you by my side. Alas! ”

"Lang Jun, you don't have to blame yourself, the world is like this. I understand that how can things in this world be so perfect? Wen Ji can only wish Lang Jun tomorrow all his wishes come true! Cai Wenji quietly looked at Jin Jue's face and replied indifferently.

Yes, the world is like this, if Jin Jue forcibly pursues perfection, he will not only harm himself, but also others. If he escaped and died, Lu Bu would not be angry with Cai Wenji and that Mrs. Du.

"So be it! Wen Ji, you will sleep here tonight, and I will go and squeeze with my eldest brother. After speaking, Jin Jue stood up with difficulty, walked out of the room, and walked towards the residence where the eldest brother and his father-in-law were.

Jin Jue didn't see it, and when he walked out of the room, Cai Wenji's eyes involuntarily shed two lines of tears.

Lang Jun, I wish you all the best tomorrow! This is the only thing Cai Wenji wants to say to Jin Jue at this moment.

Originally, Lu Bujun arranged two rooms for the four of them to live in, because of Cai Wenji's arrival, the eldest brother had already given them the room where they lived. At this moment, the four big men are huddled together, and there must be no way to sleep anymore.

However, tonight, Jin Jue still did not tell his eldest brother Jin Wei about tomorrow's plan.

It was busy in the middle of the night, and everyone got up late.

Jin Jue's four people were crammed into a room, at the beginning, no one could sleep, the best, Jin Jue came up with a way, their brothers slept in the middle of the night, Hua Tuo and Li Dangzhi slept in the second half of the night.

It's just that his suggestion was reversed by Hua Tuo, their brothers slept first, and Hua Tuo and Li Dang rested in the middle of the night. After all, both of them are adults, and the Kim brothers are still children in their eyes.

The stepfather and eldest brother did not gossip about the matter between him and Cai Wenji.

Maybe he was too tired, Jin Jue was full of lawsuits, but he almost touched the pillow, and he slept very sweetly this night.

That's right, it was one night, Hua Tuo and Li Dangzhi stared at two pairs of panda eyes, and they kept watch in the room for the whole night without closing their eyes.

"Father-in-law, why do you bother?" After waking up, looking at the bright sky outside, Jin Wei hurriedly got up, quickly helped Hua Tuo to sit down, and asked apologetically.

After Hua Tuo sat down, he said disapprerovingly: "Alas, for my father, I and your senior brother have long been used to it. What's the harm in sleeping one or two nights less? But your brothers, who are still too young, need to sleep more. And, alas...... Let's eat! Aren't you going to see Your Majesty in a moment? Now, if you don't pack up quickly, how can you see the Son of Heaven in Luoyang? ”

Last night, when Hua Tuo took the initiative to change his proposal, Jin Jue thought of this possibility, plus Hua Tuo wanted to speak and stopped just now, and he understood what his father-in-law meant.

Speaking of which, today is a big day for the life and death of the two brothers, relatively speaking, Hua Tuo and Li Dangzhi can leave here smoothly and early.

"Father-in-law, you cherish, remember, you must not go to see Cao Cao. Even if he personally invites you to go back, it won't work! Jin Jue was afraid of this separation, and he and Hua Tuo never saw each other again, so he told him again.

Hua Tuo pretended to be angry and said, "Wake up!" You're too nagging, aren't you, obviously you're suffering from marital disorder, I'm not old and confused? ”

……

After eating and cleaning up, Jin Jue first went to greet Cai Wenji, and then rode a horse with his eldest brother to meet Lu Bu, because of the battle last night, so Lu Bu and the others got up late.

"Wen Hou, do you want to leave now?" Jin Wei asked.

"Hmm!" Lu Bu nodded, answered, and looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong understood what Lu Bu meant, he turned to Yang Fengyi and arched his hand, and said earnestly: "General Yang, our army has offended a lot before, please don't take it to heart." After Wen Hou leaves, I hope you can get along well with General Dong, guard the Tiger Pass, keep all the princes who want to snatch the Son of Heaven out of Henan County, and when Wen Hou settles down, he will immediately send people to transport enough grain and grass to you to help you tide over the difficulties.

However, if Dong Chengna has a different heart, you don't have to kill him, and immediately lead the army to leave Henan County, but Wen Hou will definitely vacate the position of the county guard for you. ”

Last night, Chen Gong and Yang Fengshen talked for most of the night, and did not hide Lu Bujun's future plans. The first is to give Yang Feng a reassuring pill and tell him that Lu Bujun is here, first, he really wants to meet the Son of Heaven once, and second, he is just crossing the border halfway.

Chen Gong told him the truth that Lu Bu did not and would not rob Yang Feng of his current position. It's just that Jin Jue told Chen Gong in advance that Dong Cheng did everything he could in order to control the Son of Heaven and consolidate his power, and he was capricious, but after all, he was the uncle of the country, although there was no such title yet, but his daughter was indeed the concubine of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and he also got the official position of General Wei because of this.

Second, it is trying to win over Yang Feng. After all, Yang Feng still has a lot of soldiers under him, and the reason why he chose to surrender before was because Yang Feng was afraid of Lu Bu and Gao Shun and the prestige of the trapped camp he led.

The name does not match the reality, it is Dong Cheng, as General Wei, he naturally has soldiers in his hands, but those so-called soldiers, not to mention Yang Feng's subordinates, are not as good as the subordinates who surrendered to Lu Buchangnu. Without Yang Feng, Dong Cheng alone would not be able to hold the Tiger Prison Pass at all, nor would he be able to stop Cao Cao's troops. Therefore, Chen Gong had to persuade Yang Feng not to hide in Liangtun after Lu Bu left.

This is really a strategy for Yang Feng.

"Wen Hou, Chen Junshi, thank you Yang. Wen Hou, the person you want, I have sent someone to bring it. The initial humiliation and anger, at this moment, Yang Feng's perception of Lu Bu and Chen Gong had turned into gratitude.

Although Gao Shun did not give him the slightest face as a chariot general when he attacked Liangtun, Yang Feng now understood that Lu Bu was telling him with bloody facts that it would not be beneficial for him to continue to dodge. This time it was Lu Bu who came to attack Liangtun, and next time, it will definitely be Cao Cao. And would Cao Cao be so polite to him?

This murderer, who is inferior to Lu Bu in force, actually kills more people than Lu Bu. Slaughtering the city, which prince has not done it, but Cao Cao is the only one who not only did it, but also slaughtered many cities on the land of Xuzhou with great fanfare.

Tuo Jinjue said that at the head of Xiapi City, originally, the people with lofty ideals in Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan and Qingzhou originally wanted to defect to Cao Cao, after all, although Cao Cao's fame and strength at this time could not be compared to Yuan Shao, but his personal ability, as well as Xun Yu's influence as a celebrity, were huge, but now, many of these people have chosen to stop and watch.

It was not only the scholars who were affected, but also the common people. The people of Xuzhou can now be said to have the same hatred, and many of the people of Xuzhou who fled before this have regathered in Xiapi City.

If Cao Cao chooses to attack Xuzhou at this time, he may not be able to win.

As soon as Yang Feng's words fell, a general dressed as an ordinary general immediately turned out from behind him, about thirty years old, with a Chinese face and a beard, even if he was in ordinary attire, it was difficult to hide the heroism in his eyes.

"Meet Wen Hou, meet Chen Junshi, the last general is Xu Huang, the words are clear! I don't know if Wen Hou is going to come here in the end, is there anything going on? Xu Huang stood up and saluted the two of them without being humble or arrogant, and asked.

"Hahaha, boy, you really have a good eye! Hahaha! What Jin Jue didn't expect was that I don't know why, when Lu Bu saw Xu Huang, he actually cast his eyes, laughing loudly while praising Jin Jue.

The way he looked, he said this, which made Yang Feng and Xu Huang confused.

Even Jin Jue thought it was very strange, you must know that Xu Huang in history was a lonely and proud person like Guan Yu, otherwise, Wang Ping, the general in the middle of the Shu Han Dynasty, would not have been forced by him to surrender Liu Beijun.

"Ziming, what is the specific matter, I will discuss it with you in detail later, now, Wen Hou is about to go to Luoyang City to face the saint, you can set off with us!" Chen Gong stepped forward and patted Xu Huang, who was confused, and explained.

"The last general obeys!" agreed, Xu Huang finished speaking, and glanced at Jin Jue deeply.

Lu Bu's army set off at three o'clock in the afternoon, and arrived at Luoyang City at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Luoyang City, in addition to the towering city wall, is still there, and the inside and outside of the city are desolate, and wild dogs and corpses can be seen everywhere.

In one word, it's 'ghost town'.

At this time, Jin Jue knew that for some reason, unlike the records in the history books, at the end of the first month of the first year of Jian'an, Emperor Han Xian had returned to Luoyang.
