The three of them felt for a while and began to clean up the battlefield and continue to hurry, while the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion who died in the battle were buried in the Taihang Mountain Range by Ma Chao on the spot, and the seriously injured were also resting on the carriage. The corpses of thousands of Black Mountain thieves were brutally corpsed in the wilderness, and Xiao Ma believed that Zheng Gu and Yang Feng would definitely send someone to collect the corpses.

The group hurried to the road, and finally arrived at Keiguan before dark and set up camp. After resting for a while, he entered Hanoi County the next day, crossed the Yellow River from Mengjin Gudu all the way without incident, and was in front of Luoyang after two days.

Luoyang City, north of the mountain, south of Yique, Luoshui runs through it, the east is according to the Tiger Pass, the west controls the Hangu Pass, surrounded by mountains, the Xiongguan is lined up, there is "the mountains and rivers arch Dai, the situation is the first in the world"; Moreover, it is located in the "middle of the world", "pressing Jianghuai in the east, Guanlong in the west, Youyan in the north, and Jingxiang in the south", and is known as "the eight directions", "the hinterland of Kyushu", and "the thoroughfare of ten provinces". Since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang City has become the political, economic and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The unique geographical location has achieved the historical status of Luoyang, and at the same time Luoyang is also the place of the four wars, although there are many Xiongguan, it is difficult to be the enemy on all sides, unless there is a strong military strength, it is very difficult to hold. In the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184, the general He Jin led the Yulin Army and the five lieutenants to camp Tundu Pavilion, with the Zhenjing Division, set up Hangu Pass around Luoyang, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiaopingjin Eight Passes, and placed the Eight Passes of Duwei, so it is also known as the Eight Passes of Luoyang.

As soon as the group arrived outside Luoyang City, a team of about 500 people greeted them, led by He Miao, the younger brother of the current general He Jin. He Miao was meritorious in the conquest of Xingyang thieves, and was just named the general of the chariot cavalry, and the title of Marquis of Jiyang. The general of the chariot cavalry is the military attache second only to the hussar general and the general, and belongs to the senior military attache of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ding Yuan recognized He Miao from afar, and was slightly shocked in his heart, and then said in ecstasy: "The name of the virtuous nephew really shocked the government and the opposition, when the general of the dynasty actually sent his own brother to greet him, a big thing can be done!" Big things can happen! ”

Brother Xiao Ma was also slightly stunned, obviously the development of things had exceeded his expectations, He Jin's move was undoubtedly an olive branch to himself, and in order to recruit himself, he even did not hesitate to let his own brother General Che Cai come to greet a small local military Sima. You must know that the gap between the two in terms of official positions is simply 108,000 miles, just like the current vice chairman of the Central Military Commission who came out to greet the commander of the militia company; although this vice chairman of the Central Military Commission has died in name only, the commander of the militia company is in full swing and has a heavy army in his hands.

After a little discussion, the two turned over and dismounted, bowed and bowed: "Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan (Sima Ma Chao of the other department under the command of Xiliang Taishou) has seen the general of the chariot cavalry!" ”

He Miao has a rough face, a slightly chubby body, about forty years old, and a short beard, and when he heard this, he dismounted and personally helped Ding Yuan and Xiao Ma Ge, and said with a smile: "Both of them are meritorious ministers, pillars of the Han Dynasty, and they must not be polite, and the civil and military officials such as the Son of Heaven and the Great General have been waiting for the two for a long time!" ”

The two didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to say anything, Ding Yuan said: "There is a general who rides a car, and he doesn't dare to show off his small achievements, I don't know how the Son of Heaven and the general are doing recently?" ”

He Miao said: "My brother said that he was worried about the state affairs at night, but fortunately, the two joined forces to repel the rebels of the Southern Huns, and this time General Ma united with the Southern Xiongnu to severely damage Wuheng and forced him to retreat and defend with all his might, Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju and the two thieves without the support of the Wuheng people can no longer stop Liu Yu and Wang Fen's two-sided attack, and the extermination is imminent!" ”

Ding Yuan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "All this is the credit of General Ma, and the merits of the lower officials are insignificant!" ”

"Hmm!" He Miao nodded, looked at Brother Ma deeply, and continued: "General Ma is heroic, breaking the danger of the Southern Xiongnu and merging the state, and going to Wuheng to take over the danger of Youzhou. ”

Brother Xiao Ma was flattered, and said humbly: "The general of the chariot has won the award, and the young general's successive victories depend on the Son of Heaven and the general's Hongfu, although he is young, he is willing to serve the Son of Heaven and the general, and it is not a pity to die!" ”

He Miao was overjoyed and praised: "Well said, you are worthy of being the descendant of General Fubo, so why not be young?" The champion Hou also fought on the battlefield at the age of twelve, broke the Huns at the age of seventeen, became famous all over the world at the age of nineteen, and worshiped the hussar general at the age of twenty-one. ”

Ma Chao said: "Don't dare, I don't dare to be proud of my achievements when I first came to Luoyang, and I have to take care of the general!" ”

"Well said! Say! He Miao's face was full of joy, and he asked: "I heard that General Ma broke through the Xiongnu royal court in the Southern Xiongnu, beheaded more than 100,000 people, seized countless materials such as livestock, grain and grass, gold, silver and jewelry, and plundered a large number of people to the land of Xiliang, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Brother Xiao Ma secretly scolded He Miao for being shameless, and even asked for bribes in public, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, in history, this He Miao was not very capable but extremely greedy for money, he and He Jin were half-brothers, and they were the elder brothers of He Wan, the queen of the dynasty, and his mother was Wuyangjun.

The contradiction between He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants intensified, and it was not until the death of Emperor Ling that the matter of establishing the prince completely broke out. It was easy for He Jin, who originally held the military power, to kill the eunuchs, but it was because of He Miao that he led to the end of his own family. He Miao is He Jin's younger brother, but he has always played the role of a double agent, on the one hand, he persuaded He Jin to lead troops into the palace to kill the eunuchs, but on the other hand, he was bribed by the gold and silver of Zhang Rang's people who served him ten times, and told the news to his sister Empress He, and at the same time let Zhang Rang and others know.

How could Queen He, who had just taken power, let He Jin cut off her right arm, and immediately summoned He Jin into the palace to try to persuade him to dispel this idea, but he didn't know that Zhang Rang and others asked for the surname to strike first, and they had already ambushed the knife and axe hand, and they could suddenly attack when He Jin stepped into the palace gate.

It can be said that this He Miao changed Chinese history, if it were not for his betrayal, He Jin would not only not die, but also successfully kill all the ten permanent servants, and the young emperor and Chen Liuwang would not be held hostage. Even if Dong Zhuo enters Beijing, he won't be able to make many waves, let alone abolish the young emperor and set up an emperor, and the trend of the world will be unpredictable.

Brother Xiao Ma didn't want to offend this villain, so he bowed down and said: "The young general went to quell the rebellion at the invitation of the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Xubu Gu, and indeed captured a horse of the rebels, but in addition to replenishing the military supplies, all the others have been returned to the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu. This time, there is also the Southern Xiongnu who came to ask the Son of Heaven for his guilt, and he will have a heavy gift later, and I hope the general will carry it more! After that, he introduced the Su Bu bone who followed him.

He Miao was overjoyed and said with a smile: "In the future, the same hall will take care of each other, and the three of them will be tired all the way, so let's go into the city with the general and settle down first!" Unfortunately, the Son of Heaven went to Xiyuan yesterday, and I am afraid that it will take three days to return, so you have to Qu in Luoyang for a few days. ”

Brother Xiao Ma was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this Yinjun is really bull! The country is not guaranteed, and there is still the heart to play, and when the emperor does this, it can be regarded as a must for the ages. You must know that there are many gardens and temples for the emperor to play outside Luoyang City. The garden has the West Garden, the Xianyang Garden, the Xianming Garden, the Lingkun Garden, etc., among which the West Garden is the largest, the amusement facilities are the most complete, and the legendary lotus bare swimming pool is in the West Garden

Everyone was polite again, and He Miao took Ma Chao, Ding Yuan, and Xu Bugu to lead a hundred soldiers to drive more than 30 carriages into Luoyang City, while the rest of the men and horses stayed outside the city and camped near Xianyang Garden.

When he first entered the bustling Luoyang, Xiao Ma was only dazzled. Luoyang City really deserves to be Kyoto, the first thing that catches your eye when you enter the city gate is the Han Imperial Palace that stands in the center of the city, and the tall and majestic Imperial Palace's main hall Deyang Hall stands out from the crowd. The streets are also full of people, vendors, shops, liquor stores, pawnshops, etc.

Thinking of such a prosperous Luoyang city in history but was burned to ruins by Dong Zhuo, the corners of Xiao Ma's mouth couldn't help but hang a sneer, and said secretly: Dong Fatty, Dong Fatty, whether the master can achieve great things depends on your performance, as long as you can completely destroy the Han Liu family, Brother will definitely repay you, at least it will not let people light the sky lantern.

When the three of them were arranged to settle in the Yangxin Hall not far from the Deyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, this Yangxin Hall was the club of the imperial court specifically responsible for entertaining local officials from all walks of life who came to report on their work. As a trio, it is natural to be treated at the highest level.

He Miao arranged all kinds of matters, and was about to get up to say goodbye, looking at Brother Ma with deep meaning in his eyes and said: "General Ma has been tired all the way, and the general will not bother, and the general will set up a banquet in the mansion to wash the dust for you, and I hope that the three of them can come!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma was overjoyed, and the opportunity to secretly say had come, and he said quietly: "The general is so promoted, how dare the young general disobey?" It's hard for the general to personally go out of the city to greet and settle me, and I waited, and the mere salute is not a respect! He clapped his hands.

Outside, two sturdy sergeants had already walked in carrying a large sandalwood box, and judging from the slightly curved burden, the weight was obviously not light.

He Miao saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, but he said: "How dare you be so courteous by the general, don't do it!" ”

Brother Xiao Ma said: "The difference between the general's words, this gift is not only a little bit of the general's heart, but also a tribute gift from the king of the Southern Huns to the general, how can you not stand it?" Could it be that the general dislikes it! He nodded to the two sergeants, and the large box was immediately opened. I saw that the golden light was shining, the treasure light was dazzling, and the huge sandalwood box was full of horseshoe gold, pearls, jade and other strange things.

He Miao was stunned on the spot, he was born as a butcher, although he had been an official for a long time, it was rare to see such a valuable tribute, and it took a long time before he swallowed his saliva and said: "If this is the case, I will be disrespectful." ”

Brother Xiao Ma said: "Yes, yes, in addition, the young general has a heavy gift to the general, and I hope the general can transfer it on his behalf!" With a wave of his hand, four more sergeants walked in carrying two large boxes.
