Chapter 31: Danger Comes
At this time, the picture is frozen in the Tongguan Pass, Liu Braid's quasi-old father-in-law Comrade Cai Yong has already led his family team to the bottom of the Tongguan Pass, at this time the Tongguan guard is a general of Dong Zhuo's camp Hu Zhen, who has been following Dong Zhuo's henchmen from Liangzhou, at this time Hu Zhen has received the news sent by Li Ru with a fast horse, saying that Cai Yong will not be released from the customs, and he will personally deal with it after Li Ru arrives; Hu Zhen ordered him to do so, and as soon as he saw the shadow of Cai Yong and his party, he stopped him, and walked over in person and asked, "Who are you?" Where are you going? ”
A steward under Cai Yong's hand stood up and said, "Who are you?" My family is Zuo Zhonglang and Gaoyang Xianghou, how can you ask such miscellaneous soldiers as you ask? "Cai Yong, the steward, doesn't know Hu Zhen, but he feels that he is a big man and is usually used to running rampant in Chang'an;
At this time, Hu Zhen pulled out the ring-headed short knife from his waist without warning, slashed horizontally, and in an instant, he saw a blood-red head fly out 3 meters away, and the body without a head was really in place, and the blood gushed from the neck, and it took half a day to fall straight backwards;
"Such miscellaneous pieces, it really dirties my treasure knife," said Hu Zhen, who also rubbed the blood stains on the body of the steward with a knife;
"Come here, go and invite your family to me," Hu Zhen said to the family next to him, who had just seen this bloody scene;
This Ding didn't have time to react to what Hu Zhen said, but he was so frightened that he turned around and ran; I saw Hu Zhen take the bow and arrow handed to him by the sergeant next to him, and an arrow hit the chest of the family, and the family man stood straight and fell forward;
At this time, Cai Yong also heard the movement in front of him, got down from the carriage, saw the two people lying on the ground, and looked at Hu Zhen with a bow and arrow, and suddenly became angry, and said unceremoniously:
"General Wencai (Hu Zhenzi Wencai) is so ruthless, does this official have a grudge against you?"
"I have no personal enmity with Lord Cai"
"Then why did you hurt the lives of my two family members, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will give Ming Taishi to cure your sins one day."
"Hahahaha, okay, you go to the Ming Taishi, I am just on the order of the Taishi to block your way"
Cai Yong chuckled in his heart at the moment, feeling that there must be a misunderstanding somewhere, or someone said bad things about himself to Dong Zhuo behind his back, and now he must go back to explain to Dong Zhuo immediately, otherwise the Cai family will be wiped out
"There must be a misunderstanding in this, I want to go back and meet the Taishi"
"Now you want to meet the Grand Master? It's late" said Hu Zhen made a gesture Several soldiers rushed forward to catch Cai Yong, those families in Cai's mansion were also a little worried when they saw these soldiers, but they were mixed with Cai Yong, if they didn't save Cai Yong at this time, if Cai Yong was okay, he would definitely find his own people's accounts first, so all the family members went forward to snatch back Cai Yong, at this time Hu Zhen said: "In addition to Cai Yong, others and others, kill them" After saying that, Hu Zhen took Cai Yong, who was driven by several soldiers, to the city wall of Tongguan, and there were all kinds of screams behind.

After about two hours, Fan Chou led 20,000 infantry of the Flying Bear Army to Tongguan; At this time, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen were on the city tower
"Haha, it's hard to work General Hu Zhen, I was ordered by the Taishi to take over Cai Yong to go to Luoyang"
"What General Fan Chou said, for the Taishi to share worries, this is a matter of duty"
At this moment, Fan Chou had already received an order from Li Ru to him, and sent 300 soldiers to pretend to be Cai Yong's entourage, follow Cai Yong into Luoyang City, wait for the opportunity to directly assassinate Liu Braid, the king of Hongnong, to cause chaos, and then go to open the west gate of Luoyang, Fan Chou ordered 20,000 troops to enter the city to completely wipe out Luoyang
At this time, Fan Chou has also told Cai Yong about this plan, he is not afraid that Cai Yong will be disobedient, the lives of hundreds of people of the Cai family are in the hands of Dong Taishi, if he dares not to listen, the Cai family will be exterminated, Fan Chou also promised that as long as Cai Yong is willing to cooperate, he and his daughter Cai Wenji will be brought back to Chang'an together after the matter is completed, and his crimes will be pardoned, the official will be reinstated, and he will continue to serve as the general of Zuo Zhonglang, Cai Yong has no choice but to agree.
On the other side of Luoyang, these days can be described as very lively, Luoyang is building new houses everywhere, Liu Braid is actually very much like the government of later generations to speculate on the land, develop real estate or something, how to plan it, can't build randomly, but Liu Braid is just thinking about it, one is that Liu Braid does not have a strong administrative system, he can't manage people to build houses at all; More and more vegetables, salt, iron, and even weapons such as knives and guns and alcohol can be bought at the market every day. Beef this kind of food, you must know that it is impossible to see it in other places except Luoyang, salt and iron have always been the monopoly of the government in a state, and it is also one of the main sources of income for the local government, and due to the lack of food caused by the war, all states have long tacitly agreed to prohibit folk winemaking, and even some states have to punish the crime if they find out that there are wine-making utensils at home, not to mention weapons, which are naturally extremely strictly controlled, otherwise how could the Yellow Turban Rebellion rise up with a wooden stick; But in today's Luoyang, has become a paradise for adventurers, the two words "freedom" can represent everything, no one here cares about you selling illicit salt, no one cares about you selling ironware, no one cares about you buying and selling wine and food, and even beef can be bought, you must know that in ancient times, cattle were used for arable land, and many people did not know what beef tasted like throughout their lives; With freedom, less control, trade will become more and more frequent, but at this moment there is no order in Luoyang, not even the basic law, in a short period of time there are many gang organizations, in other states and counties have a variety of families to maintain those rituals, but at this time Luoyang does not have those families, some are just rich nouveau riche and hard-fisted gang leaders, but it is true, the people here are also gathering more and more, because for them, joining the gang can be protected, Most of the nouveau riche have their own work and food, but what they don't know is that an unprecedented crisis is approaching them...
"Look, general, it's Hangu Pass, and our army has sent scouts to check it, but no trace of the enemy has been found," one soldier reported to Fan Chou
"Okay, I know, you go down" What Fan Chou thought in his heart at this time was that Li Ru was too busy, he was so brave, and with 20,000 elite soldiers, how could he step on a ruined Luoyang, why bother so much.
"The army continues to march forward, and after reaching Gucheng, the whole army will be repaired and ready for action."
