The army that appeared under the city of Yiwu was covered with mud and blood, and it was no longer possible to tell which camp they belonged to from their clothes, but the word "Liu" on the yellow handsome flag in the center of the team clearly told Fan Chou that this army did not belong to Dong Zhuo, nor to Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao, although Liu Bao recognized himself as a relative of the Han family, and his handsome flag was also embroidered with a big "Liu" word, Fan Chou knew that the word "Liu" on Liu Bao's handsome flag was a lishu, and the "Liu" on this handsome flag The word is a bit like the regular script that has become popular recently, but it is a little more smart, except for Liu Xin, who often has whimsical ideas, who would embroider such a strange font on his handsome flag,

A large group of people and horses crowded to the city, suddenly separated from the two sides, to make way for a road, seven or eight strong men like slender men on the side of the Yellow River, laboriously pulled over a black thing, Fan Chou fixed his eyes, it turned out that they were not pulling something, but a fat man, just now the wail was made by this fat man, there are many fat people, but it is rare to be fat like this, but Fan Chou has also seen one, and often sees, although this fat man is missing an arm, his face is full of mud, I can't see my facial features clearly, but Fan Chou is still sure that this fat man who is dragged around on the ground like a meat ball is Dong Zhuo, the great Han master who has the power of the world and makes the civil and military officials in the court frightened.

Fan Chou didn't care to delve into the outcome of the fierce battle between Dong Zhuo, Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao just now, because no matter what the result was now, there was only one winner in the end, that is, Liu Xin, Fan Chou ran down the city ladder with a rolling belt, and shouted loudly: "Quick, open the city gate quickly, we surrender." ”

In addition to the warehouse where money and grain are piled up and the camp of the garrison, the rest of the city is the residence of Dong Zhuo and his family, the gold and jewelry shells in the house are shining, and the young beauties collected are even more dazzling.

Liu Xin asked Wen Ping to stay in Yiwu City with 10,000 people, the money and beauties in the city did not have his order, no one could take possession of it privately, and those who violated the order would not be killed, since even Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao had the idea of Yiwu City, who could guarantee that other bandits and bandits in the Guanzhong area would not move this thought, the entire Guanzhong area was not pacified, and the four passes were not completely in their own hands, Liu Xin did not dare to take it lightly, so he could only leave heavy troops to guard,

The ground is muddy, the road is impossible to walk without two days, those captured war horses are still trapped in place, guarded by Zhang Biao with 5,000 people, these war horses are more important to Liu Xin than any other wealth, and they cannot be lost.

In this way, Liu Xin only had less than 15,000 people left around him, and he had to escort Dong Zhuo and more than 60,000 captives to rush overnight, the degree of difficulty can be imagined, despite the difficulties, Liu Xin still decided to take a break and set off to return to Chang'an, and the Han soldiers hurriedly washed their bodies with some cold water in the city of Yiwu, as for those prisoners, naturally they did not have such good treatment, one by one they still made it like mud monkeys, but it was also convenient to distinguish between friend and foe, Dong Zhuo's treatment has improved a little, because Liu Xin knows, If he was dragged to Chang'an like this, I was afraid that there would be a dead pig left, so he found a thick door board in the city of Yiwu, threw the dying Dong Zhuo on it, and still dragged him to Chang'an by seven or eight captives in turn.

Among these captives are the Xiliang soldiers, the Qiang soldiers, and the Hun soldiers, except for the old Luoyang army that has just been pulled out of the city of Yiwu, the others have not entered the grain of rice from the morning to now, and they have to be driven to continue to hurry, and it is inevitable that there will be complaints.

When he was in Yiwu City, the soldiers of the Han army had a full meal, and those captives, except for the eight strong men who were responsible for dragging Dong Zhuo, the others did not get any food, Liu Xin also knew that there was still more than a hundred miles to go from here to Chang'an City, and it was indeed a little difficult to be hungry, but he would rather let these captives starve to death than let them be fed, after all, no one could guarantee whether these captives would start a riot on the way, be careful, now is not the time for mercy,

No matter which way these captives come from, they are used to being powerful to the common people, when have they ever suffered like this, especially those Xiliang soldiers, when they drove the people of Luoyang to move to Chang'an, the unarmed people were beaten if they wanted to, they wanted to kill, they robbed people and property, silver ** women, do whatever they wanted, how could they have thought that one day such a thing would happen to their heads, and when they walked halfway, finally some captives couldn't help it, and began to make a loud noise, and some people even asked for their surnames to lie on the ground, and they didn't leave,

Don't abuse the prisoners, is Liu Xin repeatedly emphasized, Huang Zhong even failed to stop his subordinates from killing and almost lost his surname, fortunately Liu Xin came up with the trick of the gold medal to avoid death so that he escaped, even so he still suffered twenty military sticks, with Huang Zhong's previous experience, in the face of the chaotic captive team, the escorted soldiers couldn't help but be afraid, beat and dare not beat, scolded and did not dare to scold, so that those prisoners became more arrogant, lying on the ground in large areas, refusing to go any further, but fortunately they were all so hungry that their chests were against their backs, Otherwise, it is really possible to start a fight with the soldiers who escorted them,

Liu Xin heard the noise behind him in the front team, sent someone to inquire, and when he learned the reason, he was furious and said: "Pass my order, if you continue to lie on the ground and refuse to get up, you will be killed." ”

Huang Zhong felt this most deeply, and hurriedly stopped: "The lord has already preached our policy to these captives in the evening, if you kill them now and spread it, the lord's reputation will be damaged, please think twice." ”

Liu Xin said disapprenously: "Hehe, Hansheng, are you scared of the twenty military sticks last time, the policy is dead, but people are alive, and if you don't abuse the prisoners, you can only target those who are obedient and obedient to the command, for these prisoners who provoke trouble, there is only one sentence, if you don't accept it, you will be beaten until you are served, and tell them to get up and continue to hurry, otherwise one word, kill." ”

Huang Zhong couldn't help but be dumbfounded by Liu Xin's words, it turned out that this was okay, I knew it was like this, I also thought of a way to work around, wouldn't I have to suffer the twenty sticks on my ass, of course, thinking about it, Huang Zhong also knew very well that these policies were formulated by Liu Xin, he could change them, but others couldn't change them,

At this time, there was already a cry of ghosts and wolves in the team, and the Han soldiers who were helpless just now got Liu Xin's order, and they all came to the spirit, first beat with the barrel of the ash gun, and those who refused to get up, went up directly and slashed to the ground, and when they saw these escorted soldiers, they suddenly moved their real character, and those captives who dared to continue to lie on the ground, had to force themselves to continue to hurry, as the saying goes, it's not that they don't report, the time has not come, I think that back then, on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, the people who couldn't walk were also stabbed by them in two, Today it was finally their turn,

Liu Xin immediately became much more honest when he saw these captives, and did not forget to mock contemptuously: "Hmph, a group of things that bully the soft and are afraid of the hard." ”

When the army returned to Chang'an City, it was already three watches in the middle of the night, Gao Shun spent half a day, has completely taken over the city defense and patrol matters of Chang'an City, the palace was closely guarded by Cheng Yu, no one was allowed to enter or leave, the officials and people of Chang'an City also spent a day in anxiety, until this time, most of them had just fallen asleep, when tens of thousands of people walked through the bluestone paved streets, making neat footsteps, many people woke up again, lying on the crack of the door and looking out in fear, At this time, no one realized that Dong Zhuo had been caught.

Yang Biao has not been asleep, although Liu Xin promised that there will be no change in their official positions and fortunes, but how can he, who has been in officialdom for a long time, not know his current situation, a person like him has long seen that Liu Xin is ambitious in the world, and it is estimated that this point cannot be hidden from Huang Wan, but everyone is tacit, Yang Biao was racking his brains at home thinking about how to please Liu Xin, and he got the news that Liu Xin was from Wucheng's class.

After getting the news, Yang Biao didn't say a word, got up from the bed, and ordered repeatedly: "Change clothes, prepare the car, and go to the Taishi Mansion." ”

When Yang Biao rushed to the Taishi Mansion in a hurry, more than 20 people had gathered in front of the mansion, and the first person was Huang Wan, Yang Biao was secretly annoyed, and when he was too slow, he saw Liu Xin coming over with a column of soldiers from a distance, and then he was relieved, it was not too late.

Seeing so many people appear in front of the Taishi Mansion, Liu Xin was taken aback, after all, it was the dead of night, Liu Xin originally wanted to share weal and woe with the soldiers in the barracks, but Huang Zhong and others couldn't help but persuade each other again and again, so they reluctantly agreed to stay in Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion first, but they didn't expect that Yang Biao and Huang Wan were all able to live here, in fact, this is not surprising, Taishi Mansion is the most luxurious residence in Chang'an City, as the new ruler of Chang'an City, except for the palace, This is naturally the best place for Liu Xin to stay.

When Liu Xin saw Yang Biao and Huang Wan, he was a little stunned, arched his hand with a smile, and said, "Lord Yang, Lord Huang, my lords, you don't go to sleep so late, what are you doing here." ”

Yang Biao was one step ahead of Huang Wan because he was in a hurry to perform this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward, slammed it to the ground, and said, "Xiaguan and others are here to welcome your lordship." ”

Liu Xin was surprised: "How does Lord Yang know that Liu must win the battle, don't you see that Liu even lost his horse." ”

Yang Biao's face changed greatly, he was speechless for a while, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't find a hole to drill into.

But I heard Liu Xin laugh and said: "Hehe, it's just a joke with Lord Yang, don't mind, this time Liu not only won a big battle, but also brought you back a special gift. ”
