Chapter 42: The Old Man History

Ji said indifferently: "Dong Zhuo may not have a keen political vision, but his subordinate Li Ru has, and Dong Zhuo will soon understand that the difference between the people of the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers is just a sharp word." The people of Luoyang have been rooted in Luoyang and the surrounding Yingchuan and Nanyang areas for generations, which is their foundation, once they leave Luoyang and enter Chang'an, Guanzhong, where they are backed by Dong Zhuo's old nest Liangzhou, they will become a tree without roots, and they can no longer compete with Dong Zhuo. ”

And once Dong Zhuo sees through the essence of these scholars who shout "Sheji people", the respected status of the scholars in his heart will plummet, the original predecessor Liangzhou Sanming painstakingly pursued the identity of the scholars, has already deteriorated, and the scholars will make him hate the virtue with grievances, with Dong Zhuo's fierceness and cruelty, ten will use extremely cruel means to rob the rich, burn Luoyang, and plunder Yingchuan Nanyang and other places, destroying the foundation of the scholars, and cutting off their back road. ”

"What's more," Ji Ping's thoughts became clearer and clearer: "After Dong Zhuo moved west, he was afraid that the Kwantung princes would take Luoyang as their capital and set up a new emperor to fight him, so he would inevitably destroy Luoyang, drive away the people, and break the foundation for the Kwantung princes to set up a new emperor, this is his choice!" ”

Ji Ping's categorical voice made Lu Zhi a little depressed, and He Hou was silent, but Xun Di, Gai Shun and Huangfu Li on the side looked at him, their eyes were bright and full of reverence.

"The weather is cold, and millions of Li people are moving westward, I am afraid that there will not be one in ten, especially those old and weak women and children, maybe they will be killed and abandoned, which will be a tragic disaster." Ji Ping's face was heavy: "The purpose of our sneak attack this time is not to kill Dong Zhuo to take revenge, but to protect some people as much as we can." Of course, if you can kill Dong Zhuo's dog, you will definitely avenge your mother and uncle! ”

Lu Zhi looked at Ji Ping, his face was firm, and he bowed deeply: "Zhi Zi should fight but have a broken body, drive for the son!" ”

"I am willing to die for my son!" Huangfu Li, Xun Di, and Gai Shun yelled.

He Hou and Tang Wan on the side had tears in their eyes, they had a lot of worries, but they were also excited and proud, and they no longer spoke out to dissuade them. There are sons like this, there are husbands like this, what else can they say.

"For the king and the general, it is not to expand the territory, not to chase the world, but to protect, whoever destroys and kills, we will kill whom." Ji Ping clenched his fists and said loudly: "I am willing to work with you to fight against unkindness and build a pure land together!" ”

"Swear to fight against unkindness together with Gongzi and build a pure land together!"

Ji Ping took a deep breath and muttered to himself: "It is now the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Dong Zhuoqian is afraid that it will be in mid to late February, and I hope that the river will not thaw at that time." God, God, I always think that you are not so ruthless, I don't know if you will leave a glimmer of life for the people of Luoyang......"

At other times, by the end of the second lunar month, the Yellow River has mostly thawed, or the ice has melted and thinned, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk, and it is impossible to cross the river by boat.

But now it is in a cold period of history, and the weather at this time is also very cold, he can only pray that the Yellow River is still frozen and hard at that time, otherwise it will be all nonsense.

At the beginning of February, the Yellow River was still three feet six inches frozen.

News came from Guanzhong that Dong Zhuo summoned Huangfu Song, who was sitting in Sanfu, as the captain of the city gate, and called Jingzhao Yin Gaixun as the councilor, and the two responded to the call and rushed to Luoyang.

Because Huangfu Song once played Emperor Ling, offended Dong Zhuo, after arriving in Luoyang, Huangfu Song was first imprisoned, and later was released under the intercession of his son Huangfu Jianshou, as for Gai Xun, he ignored Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo did not touch him.

Hearing this news, Ji Ping sighed, Huangfu Song is a generation of famous generals, but unfortunately he is too stupid and loyal, and his political strategy is a little worse, if he raises troops in Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo will definitely be anxious. As for Gai Xun's call, I'm afraid it's hard to support it alone, so I have to do it.

However, it can also be seen from this incident that Dong Zhuo and his people, although their actions are brutal, they lack the decisiveness and ruthlessness that a hero should have, leaving Huangfu Song and Gai Xun may be to show his generosity, because Huangfu Song was Dong Zhuo's boss, and he can find some satisfaction from time to time.

If it was Cao Cao, maybe he would have secretly become Huangfu Song and Gai Xun directly, after all, the influence of these two people was too great, and they would never really surrender to him.

After Huangfu Li and Gai Shun heard this, they were depressed, but they were also helpless.

On the eighth day of the first month of February, the sting, which was originally a shock to all things, and the stinging insects fled in shock, but now it is still frozen and cold, the north wind is cold, the insects and birds are extinct, and the big river is up and down, and there is a vast area.

More than ten miles south of Xiaopingjin Pass, on a small road at the northern foot of Beibi Mountain, a large number of soldiers in white robes led their horses from the ice of the Yellow River, and the leader was Ji Ping.

In the mountains in the north, Geng Zhong, who was also dressed in a white robe, came up with nearly a hundred redundant soldiers and brought the soldiers led by Ji Ping into the Huailing.

In Huailing, he saw Duan Jin again, and the first thing he said was to ask Jia Xu, the governor of Pingjin, if there was any movement, but fortunately, although Duan Jin and Geng Zhong were surprised, they still shook their heads, saying that there was no movement in Xiao Pingjin, and Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief and asked about other situations.

In the past few months, Duan Jin and Geng Zhong have continued to dig tunnels in the palace in addition to practicing secretly.

Now the North Palace, Yong'an Palace, Taicang, Arsenal, Xiyuan, and Maolong Garden all have tunnels through, and even there is a tunnel leading to the South Palace, and they dug a surviving ancient tunnel under the South Palace, many places are dilapidated, and it seems to have a history of hundreds of years.

Ji Ping pondered, this was probably the tunnel that Lu Buwei had dug once.

Huailing place is not small, divided into north and south two mausoleum areas, surrounded by the concubine mausoleum, the cemetery of the minister of the clan cemetery, there is a huge building complex, there are many dormitories, side halls, temples and houses where the mausoleum guards live, and there is Duan Jin's Huailing order as a cover, hiding a thousand people is naturally not a problem.

As for the food that depends on it, I don't know how much it has been piled up in the secret passage.

Of the 1,200 people brought by Ji Ping this time, there are more than 400 shooters, all of whom are from a small family in Luoyang, and the remaining 800 are elite soldiers from Guanzhong and Bingzhou soldiers recruited by Zhang Liao, plus Geng Zhong's 300 redundant servants and Duan Jin's 600 people, a total of more than 2,000 people.

When it was almost dusk, Ji Ping scattered 1,200 people, and more than 400 shooters went to pick up their families, and the remaining 800 people helped to pick up and carry them.

Since the two Han Dynasty, the night is divided into five watches, and the twilight time is also called the time of the sun, which is a watch day.

Luoyang has been forbidden at night since the first watch, and there are Zhijinwu and various lieutenants leading people to patrol at night. So Ji Ping gave the shooters who went to pick up their families three days, so that they could improvise, and as long as they had the opportunity, they could come back day or night, or they could come back in batches, without having to rush for a while, and avoid traveling to the pool.

These shooters are all locals, extremely familiar with the terrain, their homes are not considered to be nobles and nobles, and they are almost all in the suburbs of Luoyang, and the probability of being revealed is not large.

There are also people who follow and respond, and they are not afraid of rebellion, not to mention that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he has repeatedly plundered the rich people of Luoyang, everyone is in danger, who wants to stay here if they can escape.

Ji Ping also entered Luoyang with Geng Zhong and October.

The Eastern Han Dynasty's Luoyang City was different from the later Jingshi, the later Jingshi, not only the imperial palace had a city wall, but also the capital outside the palace was protected by a tall city wall.

But at this time, the whole Luoyang takes the imperial palace as the core, and outside the palace wall, it is the residence of the ministers, the clan, the wealthy and the common people, except for the north is the Beibi Mountain, these dwellings spread to the south, east and west, and there is no city wall, so in addition to the twelve palace gates, there is no city gate guard, or rather, the palace gate is the city gate.

In the faint moonlight, Ji Ping looked at the tall and magnificent palace not far away, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent, a few months ago he was still in the palace as the supreme son of heaven, but now he became a passerby outside the palace walls.

I don't know how many people in the world want to enter here, only he knows what it's like, no matter what, he finally escaped from this cage, got rid of fate, and chose his own path.

Bypassing the palace, he walked all the way to the east of Luoyang City.

Although the palace is divided into the north and south palaces, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, there is no system of sitting in the north and facing the south, the main gate is sitting in the west and facing the east, and the main gate of the palace is not far from the most prosperous market in Luoyang, the horse market, also called the east market.

However, at this time, there was silence in Luoyang East City, and Ji Ping and Geng Zhong avoided the soldiers who patrolled the night, and it was extremely troublesome once they were discovered. Cao Cao once served as the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, and he was the uncle Jian Tu who killed the eunuch Jian Shuo on the charge of violating the prohibition of night walking, and he was known as the master of Beijing.

After passing through a few alleys, walking for two or three miles, I arrived at a courtyard gate, looked up at the word "historical house" on the lintel, and felt a little apprehensive in my heart.

People say that they are more timid about their hometowns, and the childhood memories in his mind are here, and he knocked lightly on the door, and in a moment, a rather vigilant young voice came: "Who's outside the door?" In the middle of the night, can you know that it is forbidden? ”

Listening to this strange voice that seemed to be somewhat familiar, Ji Ping took a deep breath and said, "But Xiao? ”

Shi A is the son of Shi Zimiao, and he grew up with Liu Wei since childhood.

"You are?" Shi A's voice in the door was a little suspicious, and a little incredulous, he seemed to hear something.

Ji Ping said softly: "I'm Shi Hou. Once upon a time, he was fostered in Shi Dao's house, and his name was Shi Hou at that time.

Wow! The door opened suddenly, and a young man in cloth looked at Ji Ping at a glance, his eyes were full of surprise, his mouth moved, he didn't speak, but there were tears flashing in his eyes.

Looking at the familiar face of this young man, Ji Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, let's go into the house first." ”

Shi Ah came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly answered, let Ji Ping and the three of them in, and closed the courtyard door, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome if he was seen by the soldiers patrolling the night.

Entering the house, Shi A poured tea for Ji Ping and the others, and when he came over, he bowed to Ji Ping: "Your Majesty xià ......"

Ji Ping hurriedly helped him up, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao, what are you doing, we have been like brothers since we were children, and we are still here?" It's okay to call me the eldest brother as before, not to mention, I'm not an emperor anymore. ”

Shi A nodded, his eyes were slightly red, and he said excitedly: "Last year, I heard that Dong Zhuo's old dog bullied the eldest brother, so I wanted to kill him, but I was afraid that it would affect my mother, and this year I heard that the eldest brother was killed, so I wanted to assassinate the old dog immediately, but my mother fell ill, how did the eldest brother escape?" ”
