Chapter 67 Returning to Luoyang, Yuan Kui was humiliated
July 184 A.D
Ten miles outside Luoyang City, the mighty Han army walked between the roads, and at a glance they couldn't see the end of the team, and the murderous atmosphere made the pedestrians on both sides of the road dare not get too close. At the front of the team, a flag fluttered in the wind, and the blood-red word "Sun" on the flag showed the bloody killing intent, which made people feel a little frightened at first sight.
These Han troops are Sun Ling and Huangfu Song and others who have just come from Guangzong City, except for the original Han army and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered, the Badao Battalion did not appear in this army.
It turned out that as early as after pacifying Guangzong City, Sun Ling asked Xu Huang to leave Guangzong City and go to Yangzhai City with the Badao Battalion and the 5,000 elite soldiers selected from those Yellow Turban soldiers. As for Xun Yu, Sun Ling still asked him to come back with him. Yang Zhai, the two cities of Xu County, Wen has Chen Qun and Zhong Xuan, Wu has Xu Huang and the sword battalion that is enough to shock the world, Sun Ling naturally has nothing to worry about.
Moreover, Sun Ling had already discussed with Lu Zhi, and after returning to Luoyang this time, he recommended him to Emperor Ling as the pastor of Yuzhou. With Lu Zhi sitting in Yuzhou, Sun Ling believes that many of the arrangements in the future can be well implemented.
Many generals in the army knew about the sudden disappearance of the Badao Battalion, but as long as they were smart people, they would not bother. Sun Ling's methods, after a period of getting along, even Huangfu Song was frightened, let alone others? Therefore, everyone acted as if the sword camp never existed, and no one mentioned it.
As the army continued to move forward, the outline of the imperial capital Luoyang City slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Many Han soldiers remembered the cruelty of the battlefield fighting, looked at the giant city not far away, and shed tears of joy when they survived and returned.
Qiao'er lifted the curtain on the side of the car, looked at the tearful Han soldiers, stuck out her tongue, and playfully said to Cai Yan, who was sitting in the car with a round belly: "Sister Wenji, these soldiers are not ashamed, they are still crying when they are so big." ”
After listening to Qiao'er's words, Cai Yan smiled faintly, then lifted the curtain beside him slightly, and after looking at the scene outside, he turned around and wanted to reach out to touch Qiao'er's forehead, but because of the stomach that the time was approaching, the movement was a little difficult, and he couldn't point her.
Seeing that Cai Yan couldn't click on himself if he wanted to, Qiao'er obediently touched his forehead lightly on Cai Yan's fingertips, and then snuggled next to Cai Yan with a smile.
looked at the Qiao'er who snuggled up to him and had grown into a slim Qiao'er. Cai Yan smiled warmly, and while smoothing Qiao'er's hair, he said: "These soldiers are crying because they are far away from their parents, wives and children, and go to distant places to fight on the battlefield, and now they have saved their lives and returned victoriously, but it is not what you said to cry." ”
"Hee-hee, anyway, it's just a crying nose, how can there be so much attention." Qiao'er smelled the good body fragrance on Cai Yan's body, raised her head and said with a smile.
For Qiao'er, Cai Yan never hides his doting. Although sometimes Sun Ling will be very strict with Qiao'er, Cai Yan clearly knows that Qiao'er is definitely his reverse scale. To put it simply, this girl is the little princess in everyone's hearts, judging from the reaction of Dian Wei and others every time they meet Qiao'er, it can be seen that it is average.
The two beauties in the car, one big and one small, were chatting comfortably in the car, but Sun Ling could only be fully armored, and he was forced to walk in front of the battle in this hot day. According to Lu Zhi, it is necessary to do enough face work so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Report, hussar general! Outside Luoyang City, His Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government have been waiting for the general for a long time! Tanma Kuaima came to Sun Ling's side, bowed down and said.
Belch...... The old man of the Spirit Emperor is so upright? Nodding at the Tanma in front of him, Sun Ling looked at Luoyang City in the distance, and some neatly arranged silhouettes of figures could be faintly seen outside the city gate.
"Hussar general, you better go to meet Your Majesty first, don't make Your Majesty wait for a long time, I will arrange the soldiers, and then come." Huangfu Song also heard the return of Tanma, and came to Sun Ling's side and said.
"Then General Lao Huangfu and you will have to worry about it!" Sun Ling was not polite to Huangfu Song, and after speaking, he took a few people around him and galloped away in the direction of Luoyang City.
Outside Luoyang City, Emperor Ling waited outside the city gate with his ministers. Looking at the flat ground not far away, because of the smoke and dust rolled up by the fast horse, the Spirit Emperor turned his body reclining on the dragon chair to the side, trying to sit up straight, so that he could look more majestic. But the obviously old body still couldn't let him get his wish, so the Spirit Emperor had no choice but to stand up and look at the white dragon horse galloping over, with a happy face.
He Jin saw that Emperor Ling stood up, and also followed to his side, squinting at the figure on the White Dragon Pony Throne who came in the lead.
Seeing that the golden-armored guards were in front of him, Sun Ling had no intention of slowing down, until a gold-armored guard thought he was going to collide and hurriedly squatted down with his head in his hands, while Yuan Kui and other officials had already been frightened by the rushing white dragon horse, and ran to both sides of the road, leaving the position where the ministers were standing.
The imaginary crash did not appear, and the golden-armored guard who was squatting with his head in his hands raised his head, and saw Sun Ling holding the reins in one hand and a fine iron spear in the other, and the white dragon horse under his crotch stood up and let out a powerful scream.
Sun Ling's domineering appearance frightened those timid ministers to dodge both sides, while those who were a little bold, or who had confidence in him, stood in place, looking at this domineering and powerful general. Who would have thought that a young man of this age would be the most powerful hussar general in the dynasty?
Before Sun Ling set out on the expedition, he had always had the image of a talented person in the hearts of his ministers and even Emperor Ling. Now that Sun Ling's appearance is in the way, this reminds everyone that his great power was killed in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain.
I glanced back and saw that everyone behind me had arrived in unison. Only then did Sun Ling jump off the white dragon horse, take them to the front of Emperor Ling, and bow with a gun: "Your Majesty has come to greet you, and the ministers have brought your soldiers to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Good, what a heroic general! This is what a hussar general of my Han should look like, so let's be exempt. With the support of several attendants, Emperor Ling came to Sun Ling and looked up and down, and then praised it.
After Emperor Ling finished speaking, Sun Ling was about to open his mouth to say a few words of modesty, when Yuan Kui, who had just been frightened by Sun Ling's fast horse, jumped out, pointed at Sun Ling and said to Emperor Ling: "Your Majesty, Sun Ling rode forward and rode his horse, and now he is holding a weapon to meet him, which is really a move without a king, please Your Majesty severely punish this arrogant man, lest he be pampered and arrogant." ”
Nima, who is this old man? Did I kill his father, or robbed his daughter-in-law, why did I put these charges on me as soon as I saw me. Seeing that Yuan Kui's face was full of righteous indignation, as if he was some heinous sinner, Sun Ling was a little stunned.
"This old man, I have a grudge against you?!" Sun Ling tentatively looked at Yuan Kui and asked.
Sun Ling didn't know Yuan Kui and called him an old man, which made Emperor Ling a little funny, pointed at Yuan Kui and said: "Sun Ling, this is Yuan Kui, the captain, not an old man." I don't know what you have to say about the charges he said? ”
Yuan Kui? This old man is Yuan Shao's uncle, could it be that Yuan Shao's eyes are red, and this old guy was instructed by him to come to me for trouble? Sun Ling secretly guessed.
In fact, Sun Ling really guessed half of it, and part of Yuan Kui's troubles for Sun Ling was because of his nephew Yuan Shao's instigation. The other part is because Sun Ling is highly appreciated by the Spirit Emperor, which is enough to threaten the interests of these great families, so this is why there is a rebellion in the court and the current scene.
People are not polite to themselves, and Sun Ling naturally will not be cheeky to curry favor. Besides, although he is the third duke, in terms of duty, Sun Ling's power is above him, and of course he will not be condemned. The most important point is that Sun Ling is well aware of Emperor Ling's antipathy towards these clans.
"Oh, I can't see that the old man is actually the captain, just now I came on horseback, and when I saw the captain fleeing to both sides, I thought it was a thief who had done something terrible, it was really rude." Sun Ling glanced at Yuan Kui with a sneer and teased.
"Heh......" Hearing Sun Ling's words, Guo Jia and the others were behind him, but they couldn't help but laugh. The rest of the ministers also had strange faces, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. But the Spirit Emperor didn't have so many scruples, and seeing that Sun Ling's counterattack was so sharp, he laughed softly.
The Spirit Emperor's chuckle and the strange expressions of everyone made Yuan Kui's face flush with shame, but he clung to it. Forced his momentum and shouted: "Cultivate clever words!" You rode forward and rode forward, holding a sword and soldiers to meet you, aren't you pampered and arrogant?! ”
Everyone rode over, and Sun Ling couldn't care about the low-key things Lu Zhi said. "Humph! In front of Your Majesty, I, Sun Ling, don't play any villain behavior with you, so I just went to Malay to report that Your Majesty has been waiting here for a long time, and I will hurry to meet you, what is the crime?! However, you are the captain of the court, and when you saw the fast horse in front, you didn't want to protect Your Majesty's safety, but thought about running away by yourself. Old horseman, how can you be a public? Armed with a gun, it is my Sun Ling who kills the enemy on the battlefield every day, and is ready to expel the thieves for His Majesty. You only think about intrigue all day long, you don't know the cruelty of the battlefield, and you are sympathetic to the soldiers. Old horseman, how can you be a public?! After Sun Ling finished speaking, the entire Luoyang City Gate suddenly heard a needle falling, and it was terrifyingly quiet.
Guo Jia and several other military advisors looked at Sun Ling, who was standing with a gun in front of them, and secretly cheered in their hearts. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei had little stars in their eyes, and felt that Sun Ling at this moment was undoubtedly the most bullish in the field (the word cow b was a new word taught by Sun Ling to the Badao Battalion).
"Wow...... Burst! The strange atmosphere was finally broken by Yuan Kui's mouthful of blood spurting out and fainting to the ground.
Looking at Yuan Kui's appearance, Sun Ling seemed to see Zhang Jiao's shadow in him. This old guy won't be by himself like Zhang Jiao, right? Amitabha, sin, sin. Sun Ling secretly helped Yuan Kui to overtake it again in his heart!
"Come on, send the captain back to recuperate." Emperor Ling saw that Yuan Kui was angry like this by Sun Ling, and at the same time, he secretly refreshed his heart, and at the same time, he commanded without being salty.
"You're tired of rushing back in a few days, so go back today and have a good rest, and tomorrow morning you will reward the meritorious ministers!" With a satisfied look on his face, Emperor Ling said with a smile to Sun Ling, and then went to the palace on the royal car.
As soon as Emperor Ling left, the general He Jin took a deep look at Sun Ling, who was surrounded by the ministers and greeted him, and then turned around and left with someone.
At this time, the news about the hussar general Sun Ling returning to Luoyang and angrily reprimanding Yuan Kui at the gate of the city, the captain was ashamed to see people, vomited blood and fainted, passed through the mouths of some onlookers, and quickly spread throughout Luoyang
