Chapter 50 Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty moves westward
In 190 AD, when Zhao Yue was seventeen years old, the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition army won a great victory in the Tiger Pass.
Tiger Prison Pass Hall, Alliance Leader Yuan Shaogao sits on the upper seat, Keguan pioneer Sun Jian stands on the side, and the rest of the princes sit under the hall.
Only Cao Cao stood in the hall and said to everyone: "Now that our army is a victorious army, and the enemy army is a defeated army, why not take the opportunity to lead the troops to Luoyang, but wait until Dong Zhuo makes such a move as a beast to coerce the emperor to move west, and then try to march?" ”
The princes did not give an explicit answer, and passed the buck to each other. There are those who raise their glasses to toast, or there are those who hide their faces and cough dryly.
Cao Cao was furious, threw off his robe, strode out of the tent, and led his headquarters of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his generals Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others marched to Luoyang.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo knew that the Combine Army was coming, so he also began his tyrannical operation.
A black cloud from Xiliang filled the sky above the once prosperous imperial capital, and hundreds of thousands of barbaric Xiliang troops were like bursts of whistling sand, sweeping the streets, shops, workshops and other gathering places of all money and wealth up and down Luoyang.
In the Taixue Institute, where books were loud in the past, students wearing Confucian robes fled with their heads in their hands; On the streets, old and young women and children came out together, crying and shouting all over the field; The various buildings in the ancient capital of Luoyang were in black smoke and flames at this time.
The red rabbit horse was neighing, and Lu Bu held Fang Tian's halberd on the horse, leading a group of the most elite troops through the streets.
It was Dong Zhuo's pro-army, and at this time Dong Zhuo was in the middle of the army, he sat in the chariot, happily watching all this, and laughed madly: "Hahaha, burn it, the combined army burned the camp of my Tiger Prison Pass and burned the general Huaxiong, I will burn this Luoyang to ashes!" ”
"Ahh Don't! A delicate voice rang out.
In front of her, a slightly beautiful woman trotted past, and behind her were four or five Xiliang sergeants, who were chasing her like crazy. The woman was crying as she ran, her family was originally selling cloth in Luoyang City, but Dong Zhuojun had taken all the belongings, not to mention that the house was also set on fire, her husband was pierced through the chest with an iron gun, and the five-year-old child was beheaded.
"Please, don't!"
The woman was eventually thrown to the ground by the soldiers, and she pleaded with tears in her eyes to be let go, but to no avail.
This scene is just a snapshot of the current situation of Luoyang City, and at the same time, in the east, west, south, and north of Luoyang, there are outrageous evil incidents.
However, Lu Bu could only watch silently without saying a word.
As Dong Zhuo's righteous son, he doesn't seem to need any pity in his heart for these small people who have no friendship with him, even if he does have some doubts in his heart, doubting whether his second father-in-law is a person who does not value affection and righteousness?
However, recalling Dong Zhuo's attitude towards him and the other generals and strategists, Lu Bu shook his head.
In Lu Bu's consciousness, it is okay to treat relatives and relatives, and to treat people who are unrelated, there is no need for any reason to sympathize.
There is actually a fundamental difference between the importance of love and righteousness and the so-called great benevolence and righteousness. Lu Bu didn't want to do anything to save the people, let alone be a benevolent person in the hearts of the people of Dawn.
He just wants to protect the people he values and do the loyalty in his heart, which is what he thinks is the meaning of his existence in troubled times.
After Dong Zhuo's team, they were followed by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and the trapped camp led by them once again made the people of Luoyang City feel what a disaster was.
The people who have lived in Luoyang for a long time have been protected by the imperial capital for generations and enjoy the privileged life at the feet of the Son of Heaven. They never imagined that they would suffer such a catastrophe today.
"A hundred-year-old man, is it going to be ruined?!"
An old man of nearly seventy years old knelt on the ground, his arms outstretched, looking at the sky with black smoke, watching the soldiers wantonly slaughter the good and snatch the money, and shouted his questions. But soon, he was cut off by two soldiers with knives, and the blood flowed all over the ground, along with the blood of other people, through the streets and alleys of the entire Luoyang City.
The mausoleums around Luoyang were all excavated, and all kinds of burial utensils were plundered and emptied by the soldiers, and even the corpses of the former emperors and concubines who died in the past were not spared from the Ling of the Xiliang soldiers. The wagons were piled with all kinds of treasures, and the robbers returned with a full load.
The bamboo slips in the palace were burned, and the silk silk books were made into clothes and pockets.
Under an earthen wall in Luoyang City, a haggard woman squatted with a gray face, she hugged a little boy vigorously, her face was very sad, and the tears in the corners of her eyes had not yet dried.
"Er, my mother can't accompany you anymore, in the future, you must be good alone, be strong, and remember that your father is a military marquis of the Han Dynasty, you can't embarrass him!" The woman gritted her teeth, and even more forcefully spoke, and her heart became a little sad.
She is none other than the wife of the late Han Marquis Liu Zheng.
At this time, Liu Yan was only three years old, a little stupid, he looked at his mother blankly, and then held his fingers and asked, "Mother~ Daddy, where did Daddy go?" and Brother Changjiao, Brother Cao Ping, who often comes to see me, hasn't been here for a long time, and, mother, where are you going again? ”
In the face of Xiao Liu's inquiry, she did not speak, but with tears in her eyes, she hid Liu Yan in a large vat, and then put some cakes and drinking water into the jar. After that, he crashed headlong into the earthen wall......
Liu Yan in the tank didn't hear his mother's voice for a long time, and wanted to climb out of the tank but couldn't. can only squat at the bottom of the tank and be sad, sobbing quietly: "Mother~Mother~ Woo, I'm afraid." ”
Dong Zhuo and his entourage had already arrived at the west gate of Luoyang and were about to go out, but Dong Zhuo, who was originally very happy, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly suppressed his smile, and ordered his subordinates to call Xu Rong, the general of the Luoyang department, over.
"Master, what do you want me to do?" Xu Rong immediately bowed to say hello.
Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Ru on the side, Li Ru seemed to know what Dong Zhuo meant, and nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Dong Zhuo nodded his finger and said mysteriously: "Xu Rong, I expect that among this group of miscellaneous people in the Kanto, there must be princes who lead troops to chase after them, you can lead 20,000 troops to ambush near Luoyang, and when they come, you will annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”
"Yes, Taishi, you are really clever, I was ready to ask you for orders to do this," Xu Rong was pleasantly surprised, and then continued: "The last general heard that General Hua Xiong disappeared due to the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and now his life and death are uncertain, presumably he must have been killed by Sun Jian's stealing camp, although I, Xu Rong, am not as good as General Hua in martial arts, but when it comes to marching and fighting, no matter which princes come to chase, I will definitely let him be wiped out!" ”
"Good! When your class teacher returns to the court, I will seal you as a big official! Dong Zhuohao said coolly, then nodded with satisfaction, and gave a thumbs up to the people around him, intending to boast about Xu Rong's courage.
After speaking, Dong Zhuo and the convoy full of women's treasures embarked on the official road to Chang'an, in the convoy, the Luan drive of Emperor Han Xian could still be vaguely seen, and Xu Rong led his troops back to Luoyang to prepare for an ambush.
It is said that Dong Zhuo's convoy went far away, and people could vaguely see the fire-shining Luoyang, and Emperor Han Xian secretly looked back in the wilderness, secretly weeping in his heart.
In the sky above Luoyang City, the burning black smoke drifted far away. What is screaming in the sky is the struggle of the Eastern Han emperors of the past dynasties and the hard work of many capable generals......
At this time, in an unknown village somewhere east of Tiger Prison Pass, a handsome young man in a blue costume and carrying a package with a fair and handsome face was wandering here aimlessly, his eyes were empty, but his mouth was constantly muttering a word.
"Why, why is this, am I wrong? It's not my fault? Still, am I wrong? ”
He was Zhao Yue, and he looked through the package that the Xian clan gave him, so as if he had lost his mind, he was lost in the land of China in this troubled world.
