Chapter 11 Evacuation of Luoyang

Li Ru thought for a moment and clasped his fist at Dong Zhuo, "Enxiang, I heard that Feng Xian distributed all the money and property sent this morning to the families of those fallen soldiers!" He didn't want a reward for this reason, but really to compensate the families of the fallen soldiers! ”

Dong Zhuo was surprised, "Is there such a thing?" It's incredible! Haha smiled, "Since Feng Xian is willing to do this, let him do it!" Glancing at Li Ru, "This, isn't it a problem?" ”

Li Ru frowned, "I heard that more than 200,000 families related to those fallen soldiers are grateful to Feng Xian, and Feng Xian's prestige among those people is probably incomparable!" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't know what Li Ru wanted to say, so he asked angrily, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

Li Ru hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "I just think that Fengxian's change is too great!" I don't even know it! "Actually, this is not what he wants to say, what he wants to say is, 'Will Fengxian have a heart of disobedience?'. He didn't say what he really thought in his heart because it was completely his speculation, and there was no evidence, and with the current weight of Lu Bu in Dong Zhuo's heart, if he said the true thoughts in his heart, not only would it not have any effect, but it might cause trouble.

Dong Zhuo didn't take what Li Ru said to heart.

Dong Zhuo was fat and impatient to sit for a long time, and he was already feeling a little tired at the moment, and wanted to go to the back couch to lie down for a while. Li Ru, who was good at observing words and feelings, immediately saw Dong Zhuo's intentions, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dong Zhuo, helped him to the couch behind the screen, and served him to lie down. Dong Zhuo lay on his side and let out a comfortable breath.

Li Ru hugged his fists and said: "Enxiang, my subordinates retire." ”

"Hmm."

Li Ru bowed again and retreated.

Before dusk in the afternoon, Zhang Lang left the barracks and returned to Luoyang City, followed by Gao Shun with dozens of guards.

There was a sudden sound of gongs in front of me, and then I saw the people who were originally bustling on the street hurriedly avoiding the side. Zhang Lang restrained the red rabbit horse and retreated to the side of the road with the guards.

Looking ahead, I saw a large team approaching us. In front of the team were dozens of Xiliang iron horsemen who opened the way, followed by the team, flanked by foot soldiers in armor and holding steel swords and shields, and in the middle of these foot soldiers were hundreds of prisoners who were threaded into a string of hemp ropes, many of them had traces of being tortured! The faces of all these prisoners were full of horror and helplessness, they stumbled and cried, and the soldiers next to them beat and cursed them from time to time, and the scene was truly miserable.

Zhang Lang heard a young man not far in front of him whispering to his companions: "I heard that those great families related to the Kwantung princes have been confiscated!" Not so long ago, more than a thousand people had been executed, just outside the city gates by the woods! I've seen it, and it's creepy! ”

The companion sighed, "I heard that this idea was come up with by Lu Bu!" This Lu Bu is really ruthless! "Who's to say it isn't!" The third person suddenly interjected and said, "Don't say anything, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth!" The two young men quickly closed their mouths.

Zhang Lang was stunned on the horse, and said in his heart: Why did it become my idea? Damn it! Which bastard is spreading rumors?

……

The huge procession hurriedly left Luoyang and headed west. 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry opened the way, tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers guarded on both sides, and the team that was guarded in the middle was a long dragon composed of countless vehicles of various kinds, including the emperor's dragon chariot, Dong Zhuo's 'armored car', the incense carts of the harem concubines and princesses, and the cars of officials at all levels of the central government.

At this time, Zhang Lang had not left Luoyang, he took Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng and 6,000 cavalry to stay in Luoyang City. This was requested by Zhang Lang, and his reason was to prevent the pursuit of the eastern princes, which Dong Zhuo greatly appreciated, but Zhang Lang's real purpose was not to do so, but to prevent Li Qian, Guo Yan and others from taking advantage of the chaos to sack the city. It was because Zhang Lang took the initiative to lead the army to stay behind the palace, so Li Zhen, Guo Yan and others had no chance to take advantage of it, and they secretly hated it in their hearts.

The main force of Zhang Lang's subordinates, the 30,000 infantry army, had already left with the large army under the leadership of Zang Ba and other generals, while Zhang Lang's family was escorted by hundreds of guards led by Gao Shun in the large army.

Zhang Lang was dressed in a beast face, Tang Nijia held a Fang Tian painting halberd, and rode a red rabbit horse on a wide street, followed by dozens of heavily armored guards.

Luoyang City was much quieter and much more empty than usual, but it seemed very calm, because there were still 6,000 iron horsemen led by Zhang Lang.

After a round of Luoyang City, he returned to the gate of the mansion. He was amazed to see hundreds of people gathered at his doorstep. When those people saw Zhang Lang, they hula and surrounded them, surrounded three layers inside and three layers outside, and Zhang Lang couldn't move at all.

Just when Zhang Lang was surprised, an old man with gray hair and a thin physique said loudly: "General, I heard that you are going west to Chang'an, please take us with you!" As he spoke, he knelt down. As soon as he knelt, all the thousands of people knelt down, crying and shouting that they wanted to follow Zhang Lang to Chang'an.

Zhang Lang sat on the horse and was stunned, he had never encountered such a thing, he felt a fire in his chest.

"You, will you follow me?"

"Yes! We do! The people shouted.

Zhang Lang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay!" When he agreed, the people at the scene immediately cheered. Zhang Lang looked at these elated people, and his heart was full of emotion, he just did what the superior should do, and he actually won the wholehearted loyalty of these people!

……

It was getting dark. Zhang Lang sat in an empty house and ate a simple dinner.

Zhang Liao and Hao Meng, who were wearing helmets and armor and swords, hurriedly came in and hugged their fists to salute: "General! ”

Zhang Lang glanced at the two of them, and asked while eating, "Is there any news about Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass?" ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and replied: "The news we just got, the two levels are still in our hands." ”

Zhang Lang frowned, "As long as the two guards learn the news that we have given up Luoyang, they will definitely give up the pass immediately!" Time is running out! Hao Meng. ”

"The end will be."

"I order you to lead a thousand horsemen to escort the people who are going to follow us to Chang'an!"

Both of them were a little surprised, but they didn't say anything, Hao Meng hugged his fists and promised, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Hao Meng hurriedly turned around, "What else does the general command?" ”

"You can bring as much grain and grass as you can with the big warehouse outside the city! It's a long way to Chang'an, so it's always good to prepare more grain and grass! "No." Hao Meng clenched his fists and promised, turned around and trotted away.

Seeing Zhang Liao frowning, Zhang Lang asked puzzledly, "What is Wen Yuan worried about?" ”

Zhang Liao hugged his fists and said, "General, I'm worried about those eastern princes. If they send iron cavalry to chase and kill after entering the customs, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the people! Zhang Lang couldn't help but worry, he thought of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he had read, Cao Cao's handsome iron cavalry chased and killed! Other princes may stop at the bustling Luoyang City, but Cao Cao, a hero, is afraid that he won't!

At the same time, the guards of Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass received the news that Dong Zhuo had abandoned Luoyang, so he led his subordinates to flee the pass in a hurry and headed west.

The princes of the Eighteenth Road hit the pass and poured into the pass like a flood that broke the embankment!

At this moment, tens of thousands of Wuhuan Xiongnu Xianbei cavalry appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River, like wolves swept towards the westward team, like a black evil Lang under the moonlit night, and the birds along the way flew in fright.
