Yang Biao's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Huangfu Song had no joy and no worries on his face, and he couldn't see the tendencies.

When the river was first crossed, there were only 21 people on the boat. The emperor, the empress and the empress's brother Fu De, his father Fu Wan, Li Le's three and five rowing soldiers, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng plus two cronies and soldiers, leaving Yang Biao and Huangfu Song and a minor officer of the Yulin Army. Song Guiren, who followed the emperor all the way to the riverbank, was also captured by the Xiliang army, if it weren't for the close relationship between Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi, the emperor still counted on him to get in touch with Liu Bei, perhaps, Huangfu Song would also be abandoned on the other side of the river.

Li Le and the others left, taking all their subordinates with them. There were not many people left with the emperor. With more and more reinforcements from Qingzhou, Yang Biao, who realized the recklessness of the Qingzhou soldiers, did not dare to attack blatantly. In this situation, Huangfu Song, who has a delicate relationship with Qingzhou soldiers, will certainly not have much to do.

On the other side of the river, a military horn sounded, and the river fleet responded with a military horn, but there was no sign of slowing down, looking at the fast boats speeding by in front of him, Lu Zhi was anxious in his heart, and asked the Qingzhou lieutenant urgently: "The military horn on the river is coming, what do you say?" ”

The lieutenant of Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and replied: "The wolf rider informed the fleet: the elder is on the river bank, and asks the rear team of the navy to move closer to the north bank and pick up people on board.

The flotilla replied: They were directly ordered by the Izumo King (Liu Bei) to land in the area of Rope Pond and accept the command of the local supreme commander. Unless there was a higher order, they did not dare to stop along the way.

The wolf rider replied: This place is already a rope pool, this is the highest order. Protecting the first elder of Qingzhou is the first task assigned by Lord Jun. At present, the 1st Wolf Cavalry Division is being led by General Taishi to assault, and the river patrol fleet needs to be controlled by General Taishi when it arrives at the rope pond, so this order must be carried out immediately.

The fleet replied: Since Izumo left cavalry commander Taishi Ziyi is here, they are willing to take command. ”

During Tai Shi Ci's stay in Izumo City, he borrowed Liu Bei's city lord's mansion, and most of the Mahan soldiers had been trained in Izumo, Tai Shi Ci had served as an instructor, and his prestige was deeply rooted in his heart, who dared not to give Tai Shi Ziyi's face.

The flotilla that had received the order consulted with each other with drums and trumpets, and the penultimate boat in the flotilla turned its rudder slightly, and leaned towards the north shore, where three rope ladders hung down from the boat, and a dozen strong men, wearing only bullnose shorts, jumped shirtless from the boat into the icy water, swam past the water, and climbed onto the shore, and then, pulling the boat up to the shallows, with the lock of the thick bowl.

Rope pond is a famous battlefield in ancient times, the Yellow River turns a little here, the water is gentle, the endless plain on the south bank of the river can carry out 300,000 horses and horses, this large plain is just sandwiched between Xiong'er Mountain and Huashan, Hangu Pass is at the end of the Xiong'er Mountain Range not far ahead.

For this shoal, a fleet of river cruisers with the tall keels of seagoing vessels could not be docked at all, and the mere act of running aground was extremely risky.

One by one, the rest of the river patrol fleet passed by, and the last large boat at the stern stayed in the middle of the river, ready to tow the stranded ship. After a while, several well-dressed non-commissioned officers and a lieutenant disembarked from the ship, wearing arrow-sleeved cowhide armor (leather jackets) and iron helmets with two sharp metal horns erecting on them.

"Oh, it's the axe men of the Bull Clan." Lu Zhi looked at their attire and suddenly felt in his heart, and saw the lieutenant looking around, looking for it in the crowd, and then groped around on his body.

"Give." , Gongsun Zhan handed over a gold badge: "When we crossed the river, Xiao Feisai gave me this, saying that the teacher could use it." ”

Lu Zhi sighed, took the badge and hung it on his chest, the bull clan captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately beat his chest with his right hand, gave a military salute, and said in fluent Chinese: "Salute!" Your Excellency the First Senator, Third Lieutenant Nora, 10th Company of the 3rd Division of the Bull Regiment (meaning rake), has been ordered to report to you. ”

Lu Zhi returned a military salute and ordered, "Second Lieutenant Nora, the Holy Driver is here, please meet the Holy Lord first." ”

Nora did not blink, raised her hand in a military salute, and replied: "Your Excellency, First Elder, I have been ordered to receive you on board, and the soldiers will carry you through the shallow waters, Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

Lu Zhi was a little embarrassed, Gongsun Zhan smiled toothlessly, Yang Biao opened his mouth to scold, but he saw a few shirtless bull soldiers, standing in the cold wind with their faces full of meat, motionless, endured it, and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Nora was stunned when she said this, but it was clear that in his eyes, except for Lu Zhi, who still had a little weight, the rest of the people ignored it, and Huangfu Song stepped forward and played a round game: "Barbarian people don't know how to be polite, but they are also honest and cute." Lu Gong, please send the saint to the boat first. ”

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly and instructed Nora, but no matter how much Lu Zhi emphasized, the bull soldiers were still the first to carry him onto the boat, carrying the holy bull soldiers, and even deliberately waited on the side of the boat so that Lu Zhi could board the ship first.

"Lu Zhi, the first patriarch of Qingzhou, Sun Zhan, the general of Fenwu, the Marquis of Ji, and their servants requested to board the ship." After seeing Lu Zhi boarding the ship, he was so panicked that he only cared about beckoning the saint to board the ship, and Nora took a step forward to report to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi was taken aback, and then remembered the rules for Qingzhou sailors to board the ship, and was about to say something, when the captain who was waiting on the side of the ship had replied with a "snap": "Approve boarding." Second Lieutenant Kaneki, Second Lieutenant Kaneki, a Baron of the Republic of Korea, a citizen of Izumo Castle, and the captain of the Sea Serpent of the Kaishi Marine Division, is a great elder, and salutes you! ”

Lu Zhi returned a military salute with a sad face. As soon as the captain approved the order to board the ship, the soldiers waiting on the side of the ship began to board the ship, Lu Zhi complained bitterly in his heart, the soldiers of the Ma Han and Bull tribes had already put him on the coals to bake, at this moment, Lu Zhi did not want to be overly careful, so as not to expand the incident, so he changed the topic and ordered the soldiers to arrange a position for the saint, so that the tired emperor could rest quickly.

The stranded boat was towed to the center of the river and turned around towards Hangu Pass. The troop transport was already full of soldiers, and after vacating the space and arranging the holy drive, the soldiers who had nowhere to go squatted on the deck, drank and kept out the cold, and talked and laughed in a low voice. Lu Zhi knew that in the eyes of these people, there was no concept of the emperor, so he vacated the position arranged for him to the emperor, and walked to the cockpit to exchange military information with Jin Shu and Nora. After a while, Yang Biao, Huangfu Song, Dong Cheng, and Yang Feng also came to the door.

"General Gao Shun has arrived at Hangu Pass, General Tai Shici led the first division of the wolf cavalry to meet the Luoyang City guards, and the third division of the bull army will echo the wolf cavalry. Two brigades of the Binzhou cavalry have entered Hanoi County, and they will eventually move to the area around Yewang to stand by. In addition, the Jizhou Tempest Legion will enter Luoyang and take over the defense of Luoyang.

When our army passed through Puyang, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao had begun to mobilize troops and prepare to meet them, and Lord Izumo (Liu Bei) was mobilizing ships to transport the guards. Jin Shu and Nora alternately stated what they knew about the military situation.

Lu Zhi suddenly let out a long breath: "Xuande is coming, good, good, don't teach me in vain." ”

Huangfu Song also nodded in agreement: "This group of barbarians doesn't know the etiquette, Liu Bei is here, you can control them." If Liu Bei is disobedient, Lu Zhi will deal with him. ”

Yang Biao had a gloomy face, thought about it for a long time, and decided to use the weight of the Baibo Army in this power contest: "Li Le and other military commanders escorted the holy car all the way here, they have gone to Anyi to gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, Lu Gong, please inform the Qingzhou army, if they arrive, they will lead them to Luoyang and accept the reward." ”

Jin Shu lost his voice and shouted: "Anyi? This place name is so familiar, the lord seems to have mentioned this place name. ”

Nora replied, "Master Xu, the lord asked them to land in Anyi and walk back to Luoyang along the north bank of the Yellow River. Anyi, there will be no second army. ”

Lu Zhi sighed and understood what Nora meant, the Xihe Army killed from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn, it was a group of red-eyed people, they were overly superstitious about force, once they landed in Anyi, they would never allow a second armed force to exist under their noses. The White Polish Army was nothing more than a group of peasant armies, and when they encountered this group of killing machines, they either underwent reorganization or were slaughtered.

Yang Biao's spine was cold: I often heard that Liu Bei planned and then moved, but I didn't expect his methods to be so vicious, and the ferocity was even worse than Dong Zhuo's. On the north bank of the Yellow River, the Bingzhou and Jizhou Corps formed a pincer offensive one after the other, and the south bank relied on the Hangu Pass to continuously stream Qingzhou soldiers one after another, and the water army on the river patrolled back and forth, as if a huge comb swept across the land of Sili, which was a net of heaven and earth.

The sky is bright, the two warships arrived at Hangu Pass, just when Hangu guard Zhou Cang led the guards out of the exercise, the wall of Hangu Pass under the morning light looks green, in the solemn and majestic, people feel indescribably funny.

"How did this wall become like this?" Lu Zhi couldn't help his curiosity, and he didn't care to ask why Gao Shun and other generals were not seen among the people who came out to greet Guanzhong, but asked about this trivial matter.

Zhou Cang replied in a rough voice: "The lord said: The most exciting moment of being a soldier is to wield a knife and gun on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the most painful thing is to sit in the barracks and watch the sunrise and sunset, so the responsibility of a good officer is to find trouble if there is nothing to do, so that the soldiers do not feel that life is difficult."

I have been stationed in Hangu Pass for many years, and countless arrow towers, giant crossbows, and catapults have been built on the city wall, and all the things that should be done in the wall have been done. ”

Lu Zhi couldn't help but laugh and asked, "How many times have you brushed it?" ”

Zhou Cang counted with his fingers for a long time, and replied: "Six times." ”

Lu Zhi asked again: "This is your score?" ”

Zhou Cang smiled innocently: "Yes, the first time, we used white lime to paint the wall, I heard that this is very popular in Izumo City, that name is called the White City, after the painting is done, the wall is extremely beautiful."

However, listening to a group of newly changed soldiers said that adding indigo to lime can produce a blue effect, and it is said that the lord's manor in Sifang City was painted blue, and that place was called Blue Castle, so we tried to paint blue, well, it was really beautiful, and then we experimented with red, yellow, and green. There are many layers of color on the wall, and when it rains, it is mottled, and it seems that it has to be repainted. ”

Zhou Cang said as he walked, and when he finished saying this, everyone had already walked into the gate, and Lu Zhi couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed. After a while, Fang held back his stomach ache and asked about business: "I heard that Gao Shun has arrived at Hangu Pass, why don't you see him come out to greet him?" ”

Zhou Cang replied humbly: "In the second half of yesterday night, General Taishi Ziyi came to report: There were many casualties among the city guards, and some of the recaptured ministers were inconvenient to walk, and General Taishi Ziyi suffered a small loss, and General Gao Shun went to answer it overnight."

Lu Zhi was taken aback, stood in the cave of the city gate, and asked urgently: "Now, how many defenders are there in Hangu Pass?" Do you have the ability to defend yourself in case the front line is not supported? At this moment, you don't care about how to strengthen the guard, but you are thinking about painting the wall, how can you be a guard? ”

Zhou Cang shook his head suspiciously: "General Gao Shun has gone up, how can the front line not be able to support it?" At the critical juncture, as long as General Gao gives it a go, how can there be a share of Xiliang's soldiers? ”

Lu Zhi followed the teachings: "Xiliang's army is large, and even General Taishi has suffered a small loss, if you are not ready to respond, what if something happens?" ”

Zhou Cang's eyes widened innocently, and said, "The lord arrives tonight, and I don't paint the wall, how can I see people on this colorful wall?" ”

Lu Zhi was angry and anxious, opened his mouth to speak, and then waved his hand weakly: "Okay, you go and paint the wall." We have already taken the Emperor back, and we are ready to arrange the residence of the Holy Driver. ”

Zhou Cang ran to the emperor's side curiously, looked at the emperor in a circle, for a long time, nodded solemnly, beckoned a few soldiers to guide Lu Zhi, stood in the city gate hole, and muttered: "It turns out that it is a child." ”

Lu Zhi knew that Zhou Cang was a rough man, and he turned a deaf ear and led the emperor into Hangu Pass.

As soon as I entered the customs, I could obviously feel that Zhou Cang was indeed a diligent person. In the gate, the snow on the cement road was cleaned up, and not even a small straw stick could be found. The windows of the houses along the road are bright and clean, and even the bronze lampposts on both sides of the road are polished, standing at the gate and watching for a long time, Lu Zhi has to admit that the only thing Zhou Cang can do now may be to paint the wall.

The scene in front of him fell in the eyes of the emperor and Yang Biao and others, and the feeling was completely different. In this armed fortress, the houses are neatly laid down, and they are more clean than you can imagine. According to media reports, even during the Republic of China, there were still people in Beijing who squatted directly on the street to and urinate. In the habit of Chinese people, the place where domestic garbage is dumped is outside the courtyard wall of their house. And the first thing the founding of the People's Republic of China did was to clean up Beijing's domestic garbage.

Now this fortress seems to be a bowl of soup spilled on the street, which can be directly scooped and drunk with a soup spoon. Its cleanliness made Yang Biao and others unbearable.

Lu Zhi and others were a little accustomed to all this, and explained indifferently: "After the outbreak of the plague in the south, after the study of the Great Pope, the spread of the plague lies in the unclean drinking water. Since then, Qingzhou has begun to renovate the city's water supply equipment, build culverts to discharge sewage into the ground, send people to collect and bury the daily garbage, and those who throw ash on the streets will be severely punished. Ladies and gentlemen, the Luoyang Imperial Capital was restored according to this standard, and when you return to the Imperial Capital, you can live in the new city. Unfortunately, Luoyang City has not yet been fully built, but now that the Holy Lord has returned, the construction of Luoyang will surely be accelerated. ”
