Chapter 30: The Most Important Thing is the Book Collection
As soon as they came out of Bishui Pass, Chen Lin and the others were shocked, the monstrous fire in the direction of Luoyang could be seen from afar, Chen Lin was beating a drum in his heart, what happened, what happened to Luoyang. Everyone has the same question, on the way, I only saw the Luoyang merchants who gathered in the past, and now there is no one, think about it, Bishui Pass is in a big war, who else can pass through Bishui Pass, but the merchants don't forget it, why the people nearby are not seen. An hour later, everyone was stunned, and the whole of Luoyang was shrouded in fire, and there were fires everywhere.
Chen Lin panicked, what about Emperor Han? Chen Lin thought to himself, Jia Xu shouted in panic again: "Lord, Dong Zhongying is going to move the capital." "Moving the capital? All the herdsmen of the allied forces were frightened by Jia Xu's words, moving the capital, what a big deal, Dong Zhongying really dared. Thinking about it, what do you think, even the emperor dares to abolish it, let alone move the capital, put out the fire, save the palace, at this time Chen Lin first thought of it. Hurriedly shouted at Chen Ze: "Zhongzhi, fight the fire, fight the fire, rush into the palace, put out the fire." ”
Ordinary people can't control it now, save the palace first, Chen Lin shouted ten thousand, and everyone remembered to put out the fire, so they hurriedly rushed in and rushed to the palace, only to see that the palace that was glorious in the past was so depressed. There was chaos in the palace, and many palace maids and new eunuchs who had not been driven away by Dong Zhuo were busy fetching water and fighting fires at this time. Suddenly, seeing a group of officers and soldiers rushing in, these palace maids and eunuchs were frightened, and Chen Lin shouted: "A certain is the Taishou of Hanzhong, who came to kill Dong thief, where is the Han Emperor?" These palace maids replied in a trembling voice, saying that they were taken to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, and they had been gone for two or three days, and the rest of the Dong army suddenly set fire everywhere this morning.
When Jia Xu heard this, he had been gone for two or three days? That must not be able to catch up, Luoyang is about to be abolished, suddenly Jia Xu's essence flashed, and whispered to Chen Lin: "Lord, collect books." Chen Lin was stunned, Jia Xu: "Collecting books, there are hundreds of years of books in the palace, Dong thief fled in a hurry, he will definitely not be able to take away, I don't know how many books are in this palace, if the lord can protect it, he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the world's scholars." When Chen Lin heard Jia Xu say this, he chuckled in his heart, hurriedly called Chen Ze, and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, quickly, Wenhe is reasonable, when the palace collection of books is collected, other shepherds will definitely rob other treasures, as long as our army collects books, Zhong Zhi quickly let the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace lead, and try their best to preserve the collection of books in the palace." ”
How many books are collected in the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one knows, when Emperor Guangwu moved the capital to Luoyang, he brought more than 2,000 cars of books from the old capital. Now after the collection of generations, Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling, most of the books are hidden in Dongguan, Lantai, Stone Room, Hongdu and other places, these books, classics, catalogues are very prosperous, so that the art of the Han Dynasty and other attainments climbed to the peak. But everyone who reads books knows the importance of books, but it is really as Chen Lin said, after Yuan Shao and others entered the palace, they were all rummaging around looking for valuable things, and only Chen Lin ordered the Hanzhong army to collect books and books everywhere. Not long after, Gao Shun and the others also caught up with the light army, knowing that Chen Lin was in the palace, they immediately rushed in, and for a time more than 100,000 soldiers poured in Luoyang, and the speed of fighting the fire was not ordinarily fast.
At this time, no one thought about Dong Zhuo, if there was a Dong army rushing over at this time, I was afraid that these hundreds of thousands of allied troops would be scared again. It was not until the evening that the Luoyang Fire was finally extinguished with the efforts of the Allies and a few civilians who did not leave Luoyang. At this time, everyone began to be busy wholeheartedly, and the entire palace was turned upside down, except for more than a thousand palace female eunuchs, there was not much valuable stuff there.
Chen Lin doesn't care, he only needs books, and the arrival of Gao Shun and others has made Chen Lin's work a lot faster. If you have a heart, you will find that there are many Hanzhong soldiers guarding many places where the scribes' classics are collected inside and outside Luoyang, and even the Taixue at the front gate of Luoyang is occupied by Hanzhong soldiers. Despite this, Chen Lin was not happy, the fire was extinguished, but most of the pavilions were burned down, and the books and bamboo slips were also burned to pitch black, and there were not many intact. Chen Lin didn't care about this, and hurriedly ordered the Hanzhong army to collect the vehicles, and if there were none, they made a ready-made and carried piles of black bamboo slips onto the vehicles. Let's gather them first, so as not to make mistakes in the chaos, the ** road army in the city is mixed together, and sooner or later there will be a misunderstanding, and it is not a trivial matter to mix up at that time.
Jia Xu: "Lord, Luoyang is like this now, I am afraid that the alliance leader and others have no intention of staying here, but if they want to fight Dong Zhongying, it is impossible, the alliance army entered Luoyang, so that everyone has an explanation, but I am afraid that they will no longer have the intention to enter." Chen Lin put down a handful of bamboo slips that had been burned into charcoal and said, "Wenhe wants to make arrangements for a certain morning?" But the Han Emperor is still in the hands of Dong thieves, how can our army leave, my army still has 8,000, and I have to fight with Dong thieves, no matter what other people think, but I Hanzhong will fight with Dong thieves to the end. ”
As soon as Chen Lin's words came out, Jia Xu knew that this was basically settled, although he was unwilling in his heart, unwilling that Chen Lin's reputation was already there, and he would waste troops here, but Jia Xu knew Chen Li's temper, so he didn't say anything anymore. Suddenly, a fast horse ran over and shouted at Chen Lin: "Lord, it's not good, Zhang Sima and Nanyang's soldiers and horses are fighting." Chen Lin was taken aback, Zhang Ba? Hurriedly asked what the situation was.
It turned out that Zhang Ba was stationed in Dongguan on Chen Lin's order, collecting books, bamboo slips and the like, and he had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, after the Allied army entered Beijing, they were busy, and they couldn't find anything valuable after fighting the fire, and they were unwilling to do it, but they saw the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong guarding some places, thinking that the Hanzhong army had found a place to hide treasures. At this time, Nanyang's soldiers and horses happened to meet the Dongguan guarded by Zhang Ba, and one of the Nanyang soldiers and horses talked about Li Feng being killed by Zhang Ba. It happened that Nanyang soldiers and horses were Li Feng's subordinates back then, and his heart was even more unhappy, so he rushed up to enter Dongguan. What kind of person is Zhang Ba, how can he let a group of small soldiers give Hu Lai, and a big slap will knock the leader to the ground. The junior colonel who fell to the ground was not convinced, and angrily drew a knife to cut Zhang Ba, but Zhang Ba snatched the knife with a backhand, and as a result, he died. The remaining Nanyang soldiers shouted in a panic, hurriedly gathered the surrounding Nanyang soldiers and horses, and were about to besiege Zhang Ba, Zhang Ba saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Chen Lin.
When Chen Lin heard this, this Zhang Ba, but knew that Nanyang soldiers and horses were bullying the Hanzhong army so much, but he was also furious, jumped on his horse and galloped away. From a distance, I saw that at this time, about 2,000 Nanyang soldiers were besieging Zhang Baqian's people, and they were already fighting each other, and there were a few Hanzhong soldiers on the ground. Chen Lin was furious, the Hanzhong soldiers did not die in the hands of Dong Jun, but died in the so-called allies, Chen Lin shouted: "Stop." Unexpectedly, there was a voice from another direction that sounded at the same time, and Yuan Shu also got the news and rushed over.
After an explanation, no one could say clearly, and they all said that the other party did it first. Chen Lin shouted loudly and rushed at Yuan Shu: "Highway, this place has been occupied by my Hanzhong army, so be it for this matter, please leave as soon as possible." Chen Lin thought that it would be like this, but Yuan Shu didn't think so, and said angrily: "Oh, when did this palace become the territory of Hanzhong, could it be that there is something unsightly in it, and Chen Taishou can't enjoy it exclusively." Chen Lin was extremely angry, sneered, and decided not to explain, to see what he could do with Yuan Shu, so he stood coldly, and Yuan Shu was bored for a while. At this time, more than a dozen cars of books had been loaded in front of the Dongguan Gate, and Yuan Shu looked at it and wanted to go up to see it. Unexpectedly, Zhou Cang shouted, and the big knife in his hand was pushed forward, and Yuan Shu was followed by Ji Ling, and he immediately shot out. The two fought without saying anything, poor Ji Ling was a fierce general, but he met Zhou Cang under the horse, and Zhou Cang* had to retreat again and again, if Zhou Cang didn't want to make trouble for Chen Lin, Ji Ling would have been finished.
Yuan Shu was so angry that he was about to go crazy, but Yuan Shao just arrived and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? The thief of Yuan Shu sued first: "The Taishou of Hanzhong robbed the property in the palace and injured my Nanyang soldiers. When Jia Xu heard this, he sneered: "I don't know when General Hou became the Taishou of Nanyang, but there is an official document of the imperial court?" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "You ......" has no way to refute. Yuan Shao looked at it and said sharply: "Okay, they are also allies, don't make trouble, what is Mrs. Chen guarding here?" Yuan Shao was obviously towards Yuan Shu. Chen Lin sneered and said: "There are books in the palace, and there is a fire in the palace, so I just want to sort out these books, so as not to be ruined by ignorant people." With that, he rolled up the linen cloth on the car, revealing a car of black bamboo slips.
Yuan Shao turned his head and glared at Yuan Shu, thinking that there was something to fight about with a bunch of bamboo slips. Yuan Shu was also boring, he didn't expect that the Hanzhong army was ruined for this, and it is said that Chen Lin also hired a lot of people to help in Luoyang. The two left boringly one after another, and Chen Lin laughed secretly.
It was dark, Chen Lin had to let the Hanzhong soldiers process it overnight, and it was necessary to collect all the books that could be collected, and a group of people were busy with torches, which alarmed the entire Luoyang City, and many allied troops laughed at Chen Lin for being stupid, and continued to sleep after laughing. Chen Lin and others were busy until dawn, the Hanzhong soldiers were so tired that Chen Lin ordered the army to gather and rest, and the center of the camp was the result of yesterday's eight thousand Hanzhong soldiers and horses, all of which were books.
Jia Xu looked at Chen Lin with dark circles under his eyes and reported to Chen Lin: "Lord, this time a total of 372 carts of books were collected, and it was reported that when Dong Thief moved the capital, only the prince ordered people to take away less than 100 carts of important books, and all the others were destroyed. I couldn't imagine that a person like Jia Xu was sincerely uncomfortable when he said this, and his tone couldn't stop being sad, Chen Lin was also half a reader, knowing the sadness in Jia Xu's heart, after listening to it, he sighed and stopped making a sound.
In the end, Chen Lin said: "These 300 carts of books must all be transported back to Hanzhong, and Gao Shun must be ordered to do it, and he will personally escort him, and he will return to Hanzhong tomorrow, and the others will stay, Dong Thief will not die, and the world will not be peaceful." "He said it with hatred.
