Chapter 31, save Cai Yan
Qi Zhou and Liu He didn't know that Zhao Yun had saved Xu Shu, the two finally found Zhao Yun, seeing Zhao Yun's smug breeze, the smile on his face was undisguised, Qi Zhou thought that the local people regarded him as a hero and made Zhao Yun a little carried away.
Then continue on the road, passing by Luoyang, Zhao Yun proposed to go there to have a look, Qi Zhou snorted coldly, "There are all burned to rubble, what is there to see." ”
Zhao Yun was in a very heavy mood, and Liu He also glared at Qi Zhou with dissatisfaction, "After all, Luoyang was once the imperial capital, and it was burned down by Dong Zhuo, not only our hearts are painful, but all the people in the world, it is better to have a look." ”
Liu He did not participate in the battle against Dong, and he wanted to see it in person, but he didn't know what Luoyang had become.
When I arrived in Luoyang, the scene in front of me was shocking and shocking.
A fire, within a radius of 100 kilometers, palaces, pavilions, houses and buildings, all gone, a barren, no people, no chickens and dogs left.
It was almost a vacuum, and there was not even a garrison army.
Ravages of war! A scorched earth!
The prosperous and spectacular first city in the world, Luoyang, the capital of the gods, has become a ruined wall, a ruin of a black land, and a desolate no-man's land.
This situation and this scene are like Xiang Yu burning Afang Palace back then.
Dong Zhuo outrageously burned Luoyang, and even the imperial tombs of all dynasties were dug up, although after the princes from all walks of life entered Luoyang, the imperial tombs were simply sorted out, and the bones scattered outside were just re-buried.
"Why isn't there any?"
Liu He couldn't believe his eyes, no matter what, this is the imperial capital after all, it used to be the place where the artifact of the country was located, it was the divine capital of the world commanded by the Son of Heaven, and it was also the holy place admired by thousands of people in the Central Plains, but there was no one.
Zhao Yun shook his head, "I seem to have heard that Lord Zhu Jun once led troops to be stationed for a period of time, but then this place was dilapidated and there was nothing, and Lord Zhu Jun also left with his troops." ”
Although the geographical location of Luoyang is worthy of everyone's scramble, there is nothing here, it has become a ruin, no one is rare, and it is reasonable, if the army is stationed, not to mention anything else, where does the grain and grass come from?
After a turn in Luoyang, Liu Hebei came from it, and actually cried loudly, as a member of the Han family, seeing Luoyang become like this, his heart was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, which was very unpleasant.
Although Zhao Yun hated Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was dead, and he didn't know who to find to be angry.
Finally persuaded Liu He, the group continued on the road, the closer to Tongguan, Zhao Yun found that there were many Xiliang soldiers nearby, and more and more, those Xiliang soldiers had no military discipline at all, like stragglers, three or five groups, wandering around, many people also snatched food and treasures from the nearby people.
"What's going on?"
Qi Zhou Xiang was timid, and when he saw that there were more and more Xiliang soldiers, he became more and more panicked in his heart.
Although Dong Zhuo is dead, as long as he sees Xiliang Bing, he is very unsteady, Xiliang Bing is a flood beast in the eyes of the Central Plains people, following Dong Zhuo all these years, they have done all kinds of evil, done all kinds of bad things, and their hands are stained with the blood of innocent people.
Since he didn't know the reason, Zhao Yun had an idea, and when he passed by a village, he caught a Xiliang soldier who came out to loot, and after some interrogation, he finally learned the truth.
Speaking of which, all of this was caused by Wang Yun.
At the beginning, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, in order to guard against the princes of Kwantung, tens of thousands of Western Liang soldiers were stationed in Shaanxi County and other places, after Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun and Lu Bu controlled Chang'an, and these Western Liang soldiers were blocked outside Tongguan.
Wang Yun's approach is understandable, he is worried that once the Tong Pass is opened, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others will lead troops to attack Chang'an, but these Xiliang soldiers are blocked from the pass, and the people of the Central Plains will be subjected to the seedlings.
There are only a few people around Zhao Yun, not to mention that he is also on the mission of envoying to Chang'an, and Zhao Yun is powerless against these Xiliang soldiers.
With him alone, he can't do anything, tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, but it's not so easy to deal with.
However, when the road is uneven, Zhao Yun will never stand idly by, a group of Xiliang soldiers intercepted a carriage and snatched a woman from the carriage, seeing that the woman was about to be bullied, Zhao Yun urged the horse to kill, rushed to the front like a gallop, and couldn't help but say, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers were knocked to the ground.
Turned over and jumped off the horse, a few steps to the carriage, there were four dead bodies near the carriage, looking at the clothes were all accompanying servants, this woman was not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate eyebrows and a gentle temperament, although she had just been frightened, but it was still difficult to hide the posture of the city.
With a slender figure, snow-white skin, and a beautiful appearance, two big eyes looked at the uninvited guest in front of him in surprise and shyly.
Don't look at her age, but she combed her hair in a bun early, Zhao Yun knew in his heart that this must be the wife of a family.
Zhao Yun took a few steps back and bowed his hand politely, "Madam, don't panic, I'm not a bad person, Zhao Yun in Xia Changshan." ”
"Changshan Zhao Yun?"
The young woman's eyes lit up obviously, Zhao Yun was born with a good appearance, and she didn't look like a bad person at first glance, and when she heard the name Zhao Yun again, this woman suddenly fell to the ground with a stone in her heart.
"Slave Cai Yan, I've seen General Zhao."
The young woman bent down slightly and saluted Zhao Yun.
"Cai Yan?"
Zhao Yun looked up at her a few times, and said in his heart, "This is too coincidental, right?" ”
But after thinking about it, according to the calculation of time, at this time, I am afraid that Cai Yan's first husband Wei Zhongdao is dead, and she should be from Hedong.
"I don't know where Madame is coming from and where she is going?"
"The slave family is from Hedong and wants to go to Chang'an, and my father is in Chang'an."
Zhao Yun nodded, the matter was already very clear, pointing to the few Xiliang soldiers on the ground who were killed by himself, Zhao Yun said with a serious face, "There are many thieves on the road, there are many Xiliang soldiers entrenched in this vicinity, it just so happens that I am also going to Chang'an, if Mrs. doesn't mind, just follow me on the road." ”
Cai Yan was grateful, and said goodbye to him, "So, there is General Lao, the general's great grace, the slave family is remembered, and when I arrive in Chang'an, I will let my father thank the general." ”
Zhao Yun shook his head, "It's just a trivial matter, not enough to worry about." ”
After a while, Tai Shi Ci and others also rushed over, Tai Shi Ci was sharp-eyed, saw Cai Yan at a glance, and hurriedly strangled the silk reins, Tai Shi Ci gestured to Liu and Qi Zhou and others, which seemed to say: My general is busy now, don't go over to disturb.
Seeing that outsiders came, Cai Yan's face turned red with shame, and he hurriedly turned his body back, Zhao Yun explained, "Madame, don't panic, these are all my friends." ”
Cai Yan nodded shyly, hid her face and hurriedly got into the carriage, for her, it was not appropriate to show her head in front of people, especially in front of strangers.
