After convincing Cai Yong, Lu Bu and his party returned to Luoyang in two ways. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Cao Xing and others took the official road back to Beijing with Cai Yong, while Lu Bu traveled lightly with Chen Gong and walked by small road.

"Gongtai, where are we going?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Xingyang Deng family." Chen Gongdao.

"With a few months to go until the war breaks out, can we convince them to support us now?" Jiang Feng had some doubts about this. The bigger the family, the more they will focus on stability, unless necessary, it is impossible to easily agree to Lu Bu's request, this is a major event similar to rebellion.

Chen Gong was not completely sure, and said: "I don't know, in short, the matter is man-made." Even if we can't convince them, there shouldn't be much danger, and there is no need for them to report such a thing to Dong Zhuo again. However, according to Dong Zhuo's tyrannical nature, maybe Dong Zhuo will help us. ”

"Dong Zhuo? How will he help us. Jiang Feng didn't know what Chen Gong meant.

"Ahh Dong Zhuo sat on the wide chariot and sneezed, is this who is thinking about me?

"Xiangguo, the weather is getting colder, let's drink a bowl of hot tea." A little eunuch diligently handed over hot tea and put a cloak on Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo returned the tea and said with a smile: "The eunuchs in this palace are different, and it feels comfortable to serve people." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly laughed and said, "Being able to serve Xiangguo is our blessing as a slave." ”

Looking along the chariot, tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers drove out of Luoyang, I don't know what it was for, is there an enemy army to attack Luoyang?

"Li Ru, where is this?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru said: "Qi Xiangguo, this is the territory of Heyang." The sentry had just reported that a village was found in front of it, which was very noisy, and it seemed that an autumn festival was being held. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "That's great, give an order to the whole army, speed up the pace, we have to catch up and have fun with the people, right, Meng De, what do you say?" ”

Cao Cao's face sank like water, and he forced a smile and replied: "What Xiangguo said is true." ”

It is now the beginning of the ninth lunar month, it is the time of the autumn harvest, the corn and millet have matured and been stored in the granary, and now that the winter season has begun, the people will also celebrate the harvest of the year with large gatherings and pray for a good harvest in the coming year. During this period, there were years of war, the people were displaced, and it was not easy to encounter a good harvest. In some years, seeing that the crops were almost ripe, and in the event of a war, the common people had to abandon the crops and flee for their lives despite the heartache.

For the common people at that time, they really didn't ask much. You don't need any fine clothes and food, you don't need any high-ranking officials, a bumper harvest year, half a tun of corn, and you can eat enough food a year, which is the happiest time.

It was nearly noon, and every man and woman in the village was lively. The boys circled the village with waist drums and folk songs. The song is loud and melodious, reverberating in the mountains and fields.

The women were busy killing chickens and geese, choosing vegetables and making porridge, washing rice and cooking rice, and preparing the sumptiest lunch for the autumn festival at noon. It was a big gathering of the whole village, and everyone didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

For the elderly, this is the best time to sit at the entrance of the village and chat.

"Lao Litou, your family's harvest this year is good, it seems that you will be able to eat yellow flour buns next year." Old Chen said with a smile.

"Whereever, that's just so." Lao Li Tou was modest on the surface, but the smug look on his face had already revealed his thoughts.

Old Chen asked again: "I heard that your youngest son has been married to a little girl from a neighboring village?" I've seen the little girl in that family, she looks very handsome, you old boy is blessed, when will you have a happy event? ”

Lao Li Tou said with a smile: "Hehe, I have asked Mr. to choose a date, October 15th, an auspicious day for the zodiac." That little boy in my family, just don't let me worry, he doesn't care when he's so old, marry a daughter-in-law to take care of him, and let him take care of it. ”

Lao Chen said with emotion: "Your youngest son has married a daughter-in-law, and you will wait to hold your grandson in the future and enjoy your old age in peace." It's hard for you all these years, the baby left early, and you raised so many children by yourself. ”

Lao Li Tou also sighed: "Yes, it's been more than ten years in a flash, and you said that this time flies really fast." I think when I was young, I could carry two bags of millet by myself, but now I can't carry a single bag. Old, old. ”

Old Chen Tou suddenly choked up and said, "In short, you are more blessed than me, at least you have a lone seedling." Even if the eldest and second don't come back, they won't be ......"

Lao Li patted Lao Chen's shoulder heavily and said, "Look at you, you will be sad when you say this." Didn't I say it, your kid must still be alive, you can rest assured. That kid has been clever since he was a child, and he can take care of himself even if he is out alone, and sooner or later he will be able to come back. On today's happy day, you can't cry or be discouraged! ”

"Well, yes, it's a happy day. Let's not talk about this unhappy thing, when your boy gets married, I will go to your house to have a good drink. Old Chen wiped his tears with his big calloused hands.

Lao Li said: "That's right, when the time comes, we won't get drunk and won't return, and when my youngest son gives birth to a baby, I will let you be his godfather." ”

"Ahh Hmm. Dong Zhuo woke up from a daze and accidentally fell asleep after sitting in the carriage for a long time.

"Xiangguo, we're here." Li Rudao.

Dong Zhuo stood up and glanced at the gongs and drums of a village under the hillside, and the smoke curled up.

"This is it? Isn't it a little small? Dong Zhuo asked.

Li Ru said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to investigate before, the autumn festival in this village is a big event in the village, and this is the time when the people are the most complete." In addition to this village, there are many more along the way, Xiangguo, you see. ”

Li Ru handed over the map, which clearly marked the location of the village and the population of the village.

"Okay, let the soldiers prepare, go up." Dong Zhuo waved his hand.

Cao Cao arched his hand and asked: "Xiangguo, this will hurt the peace of the heavens, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" ”

Dong Zhuo scolded impatiently: "What's wrong, it's been a few months since the people under this prime minister came to Luoyang, and they haven't even seen any meat, and it is easy to cause mutiny after a long time." This is also for the sake of the overall situation, you can't let them go to Luoyang City to rob it, it's far enough away from the imperial city, it's okay. ”

Li Ru said: "How can Captain Cao be so kind to a woman? The major affairs of the military state are more important than the society, and it is the most important thing to kill a few small people, and to ensure the stability and stability of the imperial court. ”

Cao Cao lowered his head, his lips were biting out blood, and said, "What Xiangguo said is that his subordinates are stupid. ”

As soon as Li Ru waved the flag, the soldiers in the front row drew their bows and arrows, and suddenly a rain of arrows shot into the village.

"Haha, old Chen, get up. Stop sitting on the floor, let's go eat. Lao Li Tou stood up first and stretched out his hand to pull him.

Lao Chen Tou also stretched out his hand, looked up, and saw an arrow falling from the sky, and with a "whoosh" sound, it was inserted in Lao Li's chest.

"What's, what is this?" Lao Li Tou looked at the arrow emerging from his chest in disbelief, and the blood slowly flowed out of the arrow and dripped on the ground.

"Old Li Tou, Lao Li Tou." Lao Chen Tou looked at his former friend, a lifelong companion slowly falling in front of him, and didn't know what was wrong.

However, he didn't have a chance to think about it again, a surprise Xiliang soldier pierced the old man's chest with a single shot, bleeding profusely and staining the sunset red.

The old man fell to the ground, reaching out to reach the corpse of Lao Litou.

"Old Li Tou, the two of us can still be companions until we die, don't be in a hurry to go on Huangquan Road, I still want to wait to see if my son can come back."

The flood-like Xiliang soldiers poured out from behind the hillside, instantly surrounding the entire village, and the gongs and drums that were originally joyful turned into shouts and screams in the blink of an eye.

In an unprepared situation, in the face of the Xiliang soldiers who pounced like hungry wolves, the villagers were powerless. The unarmed people fell one by one under the swords and guns of the Xiliang soldiers, and the cries of children and the screams of women resounded throughout the mountains.

Within a few days, Dong Zhuo had swept through several villages. All men, young and old, were beheaded and hung under the car. The remaining women were given to the sergeants as slaves. Where the Xiliang army passed, the village was completely destroyed, and the chickens and dogs were not left. The place where the people live in peace has become a purgatory on earth.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo's army returned with a full load, plundering countless cattle and sheep, money, and millet grains. The heads of the owls and the outside of Luoyang City were burned, and tens of thousands of rebels were defeated.

Dong Zhuo was wearing iron armor and boasting above the court with a sword at his waist: "Ahaha, you haven't seen the majesty of this Xiangguo, those rebellious ministers and thieves are not vulnerable at all." The Xiliang Iron of the Xiangguo rode to kill them like slaughtering pigs and dogs. This time, more than 10,000 elite riders of the original phase have leveled the northern part of Sizhou, and now the northern part of Sizhou is already peaceful. ”

Wang Yun asked cautiously: "Xiangguo, I don't know where the rebels were defeated by Xiangguo this time, and who is the leader?" Why haven't I heard anything before this? ”

The ministers under the court are also talking about it,

"yes, why don't you hear the wind?"

"Is it true? When did the rebels appear in Sizhou? ”

"I heard that Dong Xiangguo is not a bandit at all."

"What are you doing if you're not a bandit?"

"You came with your ear, but in fact he went to ......"

"Ah, is there such a thing?"

Dong Zhuo said loudly: "It's all quiet, what are you arguing about?" If it says there are rebels, that is, there is. You civil officials, all of you look sour and rotten, you don't have the ability to chew your tongue all day long. ”

was reprimanded by Dong Zhuo, and the people in the court did not dare to make a sound.

Dong Zhuo said: "Let me tell you, many people in the DPRK and China now want to secretly murder Ben Xiangguo. I tell you, don't even think about it, the Xiliang Iron Rider of the true phase is invincible in the world. ”
