Luoyang, in the late winter of 179, it is the New Year.

Cai Mansion, backyard.

The quiet and pleasant sound of the piano came from the courtyard, like fairy music falling from the sky, and it was as if the souls of people were about to fly out.

"Miss, Miss, good news"

The sound of the piano was interrupted.

"Xiaohong, didn't you tell you not to bother me if you have nothing to do?" Cai Yan was dressed in white, his hands were thrown on the strings, and his voice was light and ethereal, implying a sense of blame.

Xiaohong smiled slyly, walked behind Cai Yan, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is a lifelong event related to Miss, otherwise how dare Xiaohong disturb Miss Yaxing?" ”

"A lifelong event? Begging for a beating! Cai Yan turned around and knocked Xiaohong, and said, "Is it about Brother Zihong?" ”

"Not really!" Xiaohong said: "I heard people say that my uncle won a big battle in the north, and he will come to Luoyang in a few days to offer prisoners!" ”

Cai Yan listened to Xiaohong's words, and the majestic back of the bull riding a gun flashed in his mind, remembering Liu Zihongying's tough face, a trace of blush flashed on his face, and said, "Will Brother Zihong come to Luoyang?" ”

"I don't know, why don't you ask the master?"

When Cai Yan heard this, he immediately stood up, lifted his skirt, and looked at Cai Yong's study with a smoke.

"Daddy," Cai Yan gently pushed open the door, and saw that Cai Yong was concentrating on studying the classics, so he walked over lightly and shouted softly.

Cai Yong glanced up at his daughter, put down the brand-new book (paper) in his hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Zhao Ji, hehehe"

"Daddy!" Cai Yan looked at the banter flashing in his father's eyes, knowing that his father had already known that he would come, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Can't my daughter come to see her father if she has nothing to do?!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not my father's coming, right?" Cai Yong touched his short beard under his chin and said with a smile: "I have news of Liu Zihong here, hehehe"

Seeing his daughter's increasingly red face, Cai Yong couldn't continue to tease, so he said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Zhao Ji, Zihong's prisoner sacrifice this time is not in person, but his subordinate charge d'affaires." Yuyang was initially decided, as a taishou, he must not leave without permission, not to mention that the feudal officials could not leave the jurisdiction without permission and return to Luoyang without the edict of the Son of Heaven. ”

Cai Yan nodded disappointedly and said, "I don't know how Brother Zihong is now, whether he is injured or not"

Luoyang Heroes Building.

The hero building is Liu Yi's wine shop.

Today's Hero Building is not the shabby appearance it was half a year ago.

Liu Yi has a lot of means to do business, coupled with some business ideas of the lord Liu Yuan, now, the hero building has spread out in Luoyang, and there are more than a dozen! Moreover, the decoration is brilliant, the service is considerate, and there is immortal brew for sale, and the end is a mixture of people and guests.

At this time, it was noon, and many literati, heroes, and business vendors gathered together to drink some wine and chat about current affairs in the Hero Building.

"Brothers, now that the Northern Xinjiang has won a great victory, the Wuhuan Hu Cavalry has been broken, and the prestige of my Han Dynasty has been greatly increased!" A ranger laughed, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Let's have a toast to this!" ”

"!"

After drinking, another person said: "This kind of grand event is rare in a hundred years!" In a few days, someone from the north will come to Luoyang to offer prisoners, let's have a good life, hahaha"

"Cut!" Just when everyone was happy, someone at the nearby table of scholars who looked like scholars made a disdainful voice.

"What is the great victory in the north? I think it's just Liu Zihong's boasting! A young man who looked good was not bad, but his face was pale, and he was obviously overly drunk, said: "What's more, Wuhuan has surrendered to my Han for a long time, but he is a subordinate of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zihong attacked Wuhuan without authorization, which is a big rebellion!" ”

"Fuck your shit!" There was a big man among the rangers, and I saw him angry, he lifted the boning knife beside him, stood up violently, and shouted: "You scholar, you only know how to fart on the table, where do you know the suffering of the people in northern Xinjiang?!" ”

"Not bad!" One person continued: "Over the years, Wuhuan, Xianbei, and even Goguryeo, Buyeo, Sanhan and other foreign races have sent small groups of cavalry to raid Youzhou, kill the people, and repeatedly slaughter villages. ”

"That's it, Wuhuan surrendered, that was the old yellow calendar many years ago. A bullshit scholar like you, where do you know the danger of a big man? Garbage on paper, if you come to power, I don't know how many times I will perish! ”

The rangers traveled north and south, seeing a lot of knowledge, a group of people, you say a word to me, and the face of the scholar is purple, but they are speechless.

Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu sat on the side, quietly listening to their arguments, Yuan Shao couldn't help sighing, and said, "Unexpectedly, this Liu Zihong is so good, I might as well too!" ”

"Hmph, Liu Zihong? What kind of thing is he, but how can the official he bought compare to the fourth and third dukes of my Yuan family? Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "What else do you say that the weak defeat the strong, 20,000 county soldiers broke 50,000 Wuhuan iron horses, it's ridiculous!" The fifty or sixty thousand regular troops under the command of Captain Wuhuan were all forced to shrink into Yan Kingdom, this Liu Yuan had just arrived in Yuyang, but he could break Wuhuan with a county soldier? Just bragging! ”

Cao Ying squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "Otherwise! In my opinion, although Wuhuan is strong, it is not strong and unbreakable, as long as the strategy is used properly, it can be broken. But Liu Zihong is really good, I have to admire! ”

It is said that the news of Liu Yuan's big break with Wuhuan was fueled by Huaxia Commercial Bank, Central Plains Commercial Bank and Zhen Family, and it soon spread throughout the Central Plains region, and people rushed to discuss it, but it raised Liu Yuan's name.

On this day, the day is just shining.

The sun always rises too late in winter, and at this time it has just revealed its face, and the wisps of warm sunlight are sprinkled all over Luoyang, shining with the brilliant brilliance of a thousand-year-old Yanjing.

Countless people, merchants, and officials gathered outside Luoyang City to wait, because the captive troops were coming!

The general He Jin led a group of courtiers, and the honor guard was extraordinary.

Originally, He Jin didn't want to come, but because of the folk rumors, the emperor paid attention, so he had to abandon Meiji's arms and lead the honor guard to the outside of the city.

"Boom"

On the official road in the distance, the louder and louder sound of horses' hooves made people raise their nerves, and after a while, they saw a black line appear on the official road under the sun, and the black line became thicker and thicker with the sound, and the appearance of the army with all armor and weapons could be vaguely seen.

"It's coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks, their eyes widened, and waited anxiously.

It's close, it's close!

I saw that the first two people in the team were riding divine horses, one was dressed as a general, and the other was dressed as a scholar, and there was a prisoner cart behind him, and a strong figure with entangled hair was faintly seen imprisoned in it.

Behind the prisoner's car, a large group of ragged people were tied hand and foot with hemp ropes, and they were connected in a row, and I don't know how far it stretched.

On both sides of the captives were two teams of high-spirited soldiers, holding a large shield in their left hand and the hilt of their swords in their right hand.

"Stop!"

With a wave of Qi Zhou's hand, the soldiers immediately stopped, as if they were one person, neat and smooth.

Qi Zhou and Tian Chou turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps quickly, and met He Jin's guard of honor.

"This is the general He Jin, see you soon!"

Hearing this, the two bowed their heads and exclaimed:

"Yuyang Qi Zhou (Tian Chou), meet the general!"

The two thousand soldiers not far behind him also knelt on one knee at the same time and shouted: "Meet the general!" ”

The voice was high-pitched and majestic, and it seemed to shake the whole of Luoyang three times.

He Jin's originally gloomy fat face suddenly smiled, only to see him get out of the carriage and say with a smile: "Please get up!" ”

"General Xie!"

The iron armor on the soldiers even made a consistent sound.

"General Qiqi, Qi Zhou was ordered by Lord Taishou to lead two thousand sword and shield hands to escort the leader of the Wuhuan Cliff King and five thousand Wuhuan prisoners, and came to Luoyang to offer prisoners, please General Mingjian!"

"Good, good, good!" He Jin laughed and sent someone to take over this group of prisoners, and escorted them into Luoyang. Qi Zhou, Tian Chou and two thousand sword and shield hands followed the pressure formation.

Countless people stood on both sides of the street, looking at these Wuhuan captives who looked obviously different from the Han people, and at the two thousand Yuyang troops with extraordinary momentum, and their faces were full of pride.

This is our Han's army! This is the captive of our big man!

"Fuck it!"

I don't know who screamed, and suddenly, the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in the sky were like a torrential rain, and the sky was overwhelming and the heads of the Wuhuan people fell.

The general He Jin did not stop him, but smiled even more.

Luoyang Palace, Weiyang Palace, Zhengxuan Palace.

Emperor Ling said that his face was radiant and his spirit was boundless.

"Father, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Zhang Rang looked at Emperor Ling speechlessly, and Emperor Ling asked dozens of times in just a quarter of an hour, but Emperor Ling was his master, so how impatient he was, he had to answer softly.

At this moment, the sound of eunuchs shouting outside the hall was heard.

"The general He Jin, and the people who were captured by Yuyang, ask for an audience."

"Xuan!"

The Spirit Emperor let out a loud shout.

Zhang Rang took a few steps forward and drank: "Xuan, the general, Yuyang sacrifice prisoners, meet you!" ”

He Jin's fat body, like a ball, slowly rolled into the main hall, and behind him, followed by Qi Zhou and Tian Chou.

"Minister He Jin, knock to see Your Majesty!"

"Yuyang Qi Zhou, Tian Chou, knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Hurry up, please!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The general stood back at the head of the military generals, and Qi Zhou and Tian Chou stood in the center.

"Qi Zhou, Tian Chou is right? Tell me quickly, how did Liu Zihong fight? ”

Qi Zhou and Tian Chou glanced at each other, saw Tian Kai take a step forward, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, you should say, Lord Taishou"

After Tian Chou finished speaking, it was already half an hour later, and Emperor Ling couldn't finish smashing his mouth, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Zihong is really invincible and has outstanding strategies!" The end is both civil and military! Hahaha" Emperor Ling was happy in his heart, and deliberately glanced at Yuan Kui, his heart is still Lao Tzu has vision, fortunately he refuted Yuan Kui, otherwise when would my clan be able to produce this general?

Just thought of Yuan Kui, but unexpectedly this old thing spoke:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a book!"

"Say!" Emperor Ling was unhappy when he saw him, and his tone was wistful.

"Your Majesty, the old minister Shen Yuyang is too guarded by Liu Zihong to be brutal and bloody, I hope Your Majesty will be clear!"

The Spirit Emperor's mind was a little unable to turn around, and said, "Why is it brutal and bloody?" ”

"Liu Zihong burned 30,000 people to death in a fire and destroyed a county city, it is too brutal, I pray that Your Majesty will condemn you!"

"What?" Emperor Ling opened his mouth wide, pointed at Yuan Kui and said, "How can there be immortals in this war?" Mrs. Yuan is too much! ”

"Not bad!" The general He Jin stood up and arched his hand: "If Hu Lu does not die, our Han people will suffer, Yuan Taifu values Hu Lu more than the Han people, please Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

Yuan Kui unexpectedly He Jin hit a rake, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "The general's words are wrong!" Liu Zihong can burn 30,000 people to death without mercy, how can such a heart and surname be able to govern Yuyang? I'm afraid that the people of Yuyang are already living under his cruel rule, right?! I heard that when Liu Zihong first arrived in Yuyang, he went on a killing spree, killing no less than thousands of people! ”

When Emperor Ling heard this, he felt that there was some truth, and couldn't help but focus on Qi Zhou and Tian Chou.

"Your Majesty, Tian Chou has something to say."

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, Lord Taishou is not only not cruel and unkind as Yuan Taifu said, but loves the people like a son!" Tian Chou first supported Liu Yuan, and then explained: "When Lord Taishou first arrived in Yuyang, he started to kill, and it is indeed true. ”

"But there's a big reason for that!"

"Your Majesty and your lords don't know that Tian Chou was born in Youbeiping and worked as an errand in Yuyang a few years ago. Yuyang has a local tyrant Zhang family, has always been rampant, after the death of the predecessor Taishou, it is even more unscrupulous, not only control the military and political government of Yuyang, but also collude with Wuhuan and harm the people. ”

"Therefore, the Taishou master uprooted the Zhang family in one fell swoop by thunderous means, and returned a quiet and peaceful living environment to the people of Yuyang."

"And this Wuhuan attack on Panxi was caused by the remnants of the Zhang family!"

"There are not enough soldiers under the command of Taishou, and they are all county soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, so I had to think of a fire attack strategy to defeat Wu Huan, please Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Emperor Ling listened and nodded and said, "I see, I don't know what else Taifu Yuan has to say?" ”

"The old minister was negligent, please forgive your majesty!" Yuan Kui had no choice but to retreat and returned again in vain.

Seeing that Yuan Kui was deflated, Emperor Ling couldn't help but smile even more, and said: "That is the case, there are two books here, let my father, read them to all Aiqing." ”

Zhang Rang took out two recitals from his sleeves, but it was Liu Yan and Liu Ji who played it.

"Liu Zihong is a person, gentle and elegant, with a royal demeanor, and has broken Hulu twice, and is a model for the country! There is Zhang Lin, the captain of Wuhuan, who does not think about the emperor's grace, allows Hu Lu to plunder the people, wantonly Youzhou prays for His Majesty to remove his post, and selects the virtuous and capable me to recommend Liu Zihong."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to say?"

"Liu Ji and Liu Yan, the two clansmen, are famous all over the world, and they will never be untargeted, and the ministers agree with their words!" He Jin took the lead.

Although Yuan Kui had the intention of blocking it, he didn't dare to say anything more when he saw that His Majesty liked it.

So, Emperor Ling said: "Edict!" ”

Zhang Rang picked up a volume of holy decrees that had already been written from the case, opened them gently, and said, "Liu Yuan takes the decree!" ”

Liu Yuan was not here, so naturally his subordinates took over, and Qi Zhou and Tian Chou couldn't hide their joy, and they knelt down to accept the order.

"Liu Zihong has worked hard and made great achievements, and he is very relieved, and I am very relieved, and I hereby seal Liu Zihong as the captain of Wuhuan, hoping that he will focus on national affairs, defend the northern frontier for the Han Dynasty, and make new contributions!"

"Minister, take the order!"

Tian Chou took a few steps forward, bowed down to take the edict, carefully held it in his hand, and retreated to the hall.

"Someone!" Emperor Ling saw that this matter was done according to his own wishes, and he was also very happy, and remembered that Liu Zihong had captured a leader, and hurriedly said: "Bring that very steep king for me!" ”

In a short time, a soldier escorted the king of the cliff, who had been washed clean, to the palace - the hall was sacred, how could it be defiled?

"King Wuhuanqiao, please meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, may His Majesty the Emperor live a long and prosperous life!"

The trembling five bodies of the King of Cliffs fell to the ground and worshiped in front of the Spirit Emperor.

Emperor Ling laughed: "Emperor Xiaowu in the past, it's just like that!" ”

"I'll ask you! How dare you deceive my big man? ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the sinners are bewitched by the villain, so they have this unwise act, the sinners know their mistakes, I hope Your Majesty will forgive!"

Seeing that this person was so obedient, Emperor Ling had no intention of ridiculing, and when he thought of Liu Yuan who was at war with him, he couldn't help asking, "What do you think of Liu Yuan?" ”

King Qiao replied honestly: "Liu Yuan's martial arts are strong, he can be called invincible, his strategy is wonderful, and he is unparalleled in the world!" ”

"Hahaha" After hearing this, Emperor Ling was as happy as something: "It is really fortunate that Hu Lu sincerely surrenders to my big man!" I'm glad to say now, King Cliff! ”

"The sinners are there!"

"Since you are truly surrendered, I will leave your life behind, come, demote the king of the cliff to a commoner, and build a palace for me with a group of captives!"
