Chapter 132: The prisoners go to Luoyang again
Beigong Boyu almost fainted after hearing Liu Zhang's words, and he said angrily: "You're not afraid that I will bite my tongue and kill myself?" ”
"Hmmm! If you don't say it, I'll forget it! Liu Zhang instructed: "This girl wants to die, you use a rope to strangle his mouth, before sending it to Luoyang, only feed some liquid food, and wait for him to meet His Majesty, you can kill him as much as you want!" ”
"You... Hmm..."Beigong Boyu just wanted to speak, but a rope strangled his mouth, and he could only make a whining sound. Then he felt his body light, and he was thrown onto his horse like a cloth bag.
Escorting the captives, Liu Zhang headed for Jinyang. To be honest, if it weren't for the physical exertion of Beigong Boyu's army, he really wouldn't have been able to win. Moreover, Liu Zhang's army still appeared for the first time in the phenomenon of fleeing during the battle. However, this is not because Liu Zhang's training level is not good, but because his army is composed of domestic slaves, or domestic slaves in the prosperous land of Xuzhou.
Rich people spare their lives, although the slaves of the Mi family are slaves, but the Mi family has never treated them badly, it is a famine year, these people are also worry-free about food and clothing, and they can't be compared with the outlaws in Youzhou and Yulinwei in Luoyang. Looking at these soldiers, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I still need to recruit soldiers!" ”
After arriving in Jinyang, Liu Zhang saw Guo Jia waiting at the Jinyang City Gate with a few people, so he asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, who are these people?" ”
"See Champion Hou!" Several people bowed down at the same time and said: "The last general has been ordered to ask the champion Hou for instructions, we need to enter Bingzhou to pursue the leaders of the Qiang people, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Fengxiao, you sign a warrant for these people..."
"Woo... A whimpering whine caught everyone's attention, and the eyes of several people who came to ask for the warrant suddenly widened.
"North... Beigong... Boyu?! One of them pointed to Beigong Boyu, who was tied up like a zongzi, and shouted.
"Where?" Liu Zhang looked around when he heard this, and following the man's finger, he saw King Qiang who was tied into zongzi. In fact, Beigong Boyu was also quite wronged, Liu Zhang didn't know him at all, but when he heard Li Wenhou call him King Qiang, he had the idea of being captured. Liu Zhang walked up to Beigong Boyu and asked with a strange expression, "You are Beigong Boyu?" ”
"Woo... Woo..."Beigong Boyu is a zongzi, even his mouth is tied, he can only nod his head and make a sound.
"What about Li Wenhou?" Liu Zhang asked again.
"Woo... Woo..."Beigong Boyu continued to hum twice.
Liu Zhang was a little embarrassed and said, "Forget that your mouth is tied!" Someone, help him untie the rope from his mouth. ”
"Phew... Bah! Beigong Boyu spat twice and said, "Wasn't Li Wenhou slapped into a meatloaf by the iron tower next to you!" ”
"That son is Li Wenhou?" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Just like that, you deserve to be called Haoshuai?" Even the yellow turban is not as handsome! ”
"You..."Beigong Boyu was angry, but he had nothing to say, after all, Li Wenhou's brothers all died in the hands of Liu Zhang.
"That's it! Come! Keep tying it up! Liu Zhang waved his hand, and the soldier who had untied the rope in Beigong Boyu's mouth just now came over with the rope again.
"I don't bite my tongue... Woo... Woo..."Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't stop it, the rope naturally continued to be tied.
Liu Zhang patted Beigong Boyu's cheek and said, "Little friend, if you dare to threaten me, you will have to pay the price!" Fortunately, you just threatened me with your surname, otherwise I would have let you know what it means to be unable to survive and to die. Well! If you want to live a comfortable life, it's best not to hum anymore, Lao Tzu is annoying! If you hum again, I'll make you stop! ”
As the saying goes: eat a trench, grow a wisdom. Beigong Boyu is already a prisoner, and he has been rectified by Liu Zhang for so long, how can he not know Liu Zhang's surname. So Beigong Boyu didn't dare to hum anymore, but nodded quietly. Liu Zhang turned his head to the little school sent by Dong Zhuo and the others; "Go back and tell Zhong Ying and Yizhen that the brothers Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were all killed by Ben Hou! They can continue to hunt down rebels. If you need anything, you can ask Ben Hou for help! ”
"Yes! Thank you, Lord Hou! When several of the junior colonels heard this, they immediately went back.
After the school left, Liu Zhang and Guo Jia entered the city side by side, and Guo Jia asked, "Lord, do you count this as robbing Dong Zhuo and the others of the credit?" ”
"If you rob it, you will rob it!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "It's all waste!" A little Qiang man, he actually fought for two years, and finally let me pick peaches, but I am not the emperor's brother, otherwise I would not be angry to death? It's almost the New Year, send a Qiang King to the royal brother to play, always playing with beautiful women hurts the body! ”
"The lord wants to go back to Luoyang for the New Year?" Guo Jia calculated the time and found that there were still four months before the New Year, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it a little inappropriate to go back so early?" ”
Liu Zhang smiled: "I go back every year for the New Year, if I don't go back this year, I don't know how the DPRK and China will arrange me!" I went back early, and the imperial brother thought that I didn't want to come to the state, and I would feel guilty. If it's too late to go back, maybe the royal brother won't be at ease! ”
"What the lord said is very true!" Guo Jia nodded and said, "The lord can go back and see how His Majesty's body is to make plans." ”
"Hmm!" Liu Zhang was a little noncommittal, he really wanted to tell Guo Jia that Liu Hong still had a year or two to live. Originally, Liu Zhang was also worried that his teaching of Tai Chi to Liu Hong would prolong Liu Hong's lifespan, but now it seems that even if Liu Zhang finds the elixir, he may not be able to save Liu Hong's fate.
The habitual surname of history is powerful, and if the other party does not do its best to change its fate, the wheel of history will never take the initiative to deviate from the track. For example, Liu Zhang taught Tai Chi to Liu Hong, and Tai Chi is indeed a good thing for health preservation, but Liu Hong just doesn't practice, what can Liu Zhang do? It's like Liu Zhang stuffed the elixir into Liu Hong's mouth, but Liu Hong couldn't swallow it, and he still couldn't avoid death when the time came!
"Fengxiao, did you practice the Tai Chi I taught you?" Liu Hong's fate made Liu Zhang think of a very important problem, Guo Jia is also a short-lived ghost. If Guo Jia is the same as Liu Hong, then wouldn't Liu Zhang's efforts be in vain?
"Uh... Of course I practiced! In fact, Guo Jia didn't practice at all, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to suddenly ask, so he was stunned for a moment, but he was so stunned that Liu Zhang saw the flaw.
"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed and said, "Fengxiao, I dare to say that Your Majesty will not live to be thirty-four years old!" ”
"This..."Guo Jia's eyes widened and asked, "How did the lord know?" ”
"I know you won't live to be thirty-eight!" Liu Zhang glanced at Guo Jia deeply.
"Could it be that the Lord Guild looks at the face?" Guo Jia looked surprised, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, how about we make a bet?" ”
Guo Jia smiled: "I don't know what the lord wants to gamble on?" ”
"If I win, you must at least play a set of Tai Chi every day, and if you win, I won't care about you anymore..."
Looking at the concern in Liu Zhang's eyes, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Since the lord is interested, Jia will accompany the lord to play!" I don't know what the lord wants to gamble on? ”
"I bet that Your Majesty won't survive six years of Zhongping!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "I don't know if Feng Xiao dares to gamble?" ”
"Bet! However, the stakes need to be changed! Seeing Liu Zhang's prudence, Guo Jia made up his mind to practice Tai Chi seriously once a day.
Liu Zhang smiled: "I don't know what Fengxiao wants to gamble on?" In addition to his wife and children, other things are up to Fengxiao to choose! ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "If I lose, I will help the lord urge Zhicai to practice Taijiquan." Of course, I practice whether I win or lose! ”
"Good!" Liu Zhang looked at Guo Jia very relieved, although he didn't know if Tai Chi could prolong Guo Jia's life, but at least Guo Jia worked hard to change.
After dealing with the Qiang army, Liu Zhang asked the women to pack their bags and escorted Beigong Boyu on the road. As for the important military and political affairs of the state, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Liu Ye, and Zhang Ren naturally handled it. Anyway, Liu Zhang is used to being the shopkeeper, and Guo Jia and others are not surprised.
Back in Luoyang, he escorted Beigong Boyu to the Tingwei Mansion, and Liu Zhang came to the palace. Hearing that Liu Zhang was back, Liu Hong was very happy and immediately ordered him to enter the palace to meet him.
"See Brother Huang!" Seeing Liu Hong, Liu Zhang immediately saluted.
"Excuse me! Sit! Liu Hong asked Xiaohuangmen to lay a mat for Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang was not polite. It's just that when Liu Zhang raised his head, he found that Liu Hong looked older than before he left. Seeing that Liu Zhang was stunned, Liu Hong smiled and asked, "Brother Huang, you have only been to Bingzhou for half a year, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Don't mention it!" Liu Zhang said helplessly: "Originally, my brother went to Bingzhou to meet the Qiang people, but unfortunately there were too few soldiers, and the recruitment was not enough, so I really didn't dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people." In the past six months, my brother has been bored! Moreover, in that ghost place in Bingzhou, there are not many people, and the materials are not abundant, so the ministers are very depressed! No, it's almost the New Year! The younger brother came back early, and by the way, he gave the imperial brother a New Year's gift! ”
Liu Hong saw that Liu Zhang didn't look like a fake, so he smiled and asked, "I don't know what good things the imperial brother sent to me?" ”
"Not a good thing!" Liu Zhang smiled: "It's a person!" ”
"Who?" Liu Zhang came all the way to give it away, presumably this person has a lot of background.
"What is the biggest headache for the imperial brother in the past two years?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.
"Do you need to ask?" Liu Hong said a little angrily: "Southern Yellow Turban District Star, Liangzhou Qiangshou Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou!" I heard that Yuyang is there, and Karasuma is also a little nervous. Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, and Zhang Wen are really waste, the little Qiang people, with an army of more than 100,000 people, have been fighting for two years without results! Back then, the emperor's younger brother beat Karasuma, and it only took 20,000 people to smash Wuhuan Mountain, which has been seven or eight years, and the Karasuma people don't dare to do anything! ”
"The younger brother is wise and martial, except that he is not as good as the imperial brother, how can anyone else compare?" Liu Zhang patted his chest and said: "Brother Huang, from now on, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou of Liangzhou, you don't have to worry about it!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Hong smiled and asked, "Didn't the emperor's brother kill them?" ”
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu, two unlucky children, were forced by Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to have no way to escape, and they actually ran to Bingzhou. The younger brother led people to kill Brother Li Wenhou! As for Beigong Boyu, he was captured by his younger brothers, and now he is locked up in the Tingwei Mansion! ”
