Chapter 63: A Village Without Men

Dozens of corpses of officers and soldiers were lined up side by side on the riverbank, and several dead officers and soldiers in the riverbed also drifted downstream along the churning water.

The officers and soldiers guarding the ferry have been killed by Dian Wei and others, and not even a single living mouth has been left.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the Yellow River rolling eastward, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

After the Yellow River, it is no longer Dong Zhuo's world, the boundary north of the Yellow River is controlled by the Hebei heroes, and now it is the fourteenth princes led by Yuan Shao of Jizhou who are crusading against Dong Zhuo outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

This is a realm that is contrary to Dong Zhuo! But in Liu Wei's eyes, this is not a complete threat to him!

After crossing the Yellow River, Liu Wei was able to declare to the whole world that he was still alive! It's just that he can't let the Hebei heroes find him for the time being, and the force under his control is not strong enough, unless he succeeds in rushing to the Tiger Prison Pass, he may become a pawn for Hao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

Being a puppet is not what Liu Wei wants! What he wants is to establish a force in his hands, and as long as this force exists, no one will want to shake his position. Now, the most important thing is to declare to the world that he is still alive on the one hand, to thwart Dong Zhuo's conspiracy to divide the powerful and powerful, and on the other hand, to avoid the powerful forces of either side and rush to Woniu Mountain as soon as possible.

Tang Ji stood behind Liu Bian, raised her face slightly, and looked at Liu Bian standing on the bow of the boat, with a pair of beautiful eyes flowing with tenderness.

In her mind, the memory of escaping Luoyang with Liu Wei has been lingering. It's like a dream, it's so incredible, but it's so real.

When Li Ru held the poisoned wine in front of Liu Bian, she thought that she would never see Liu Biao again in this life, but she didn't expect that it was not Liu Biao who died in the end, but Li Ru!

Tang Ji, who had completely lost his expectations for life, seemed to see Liu Wei wearing a pure black imperial robe and sitting in the main hall at this moment. It's just that the image of Liu Wei in the imperial robe that came to her mind was a little more majestic and wise than she had seen in the past!

"The riverbed here is relatively gentle!" Looking at the Yellow River flowing eastward, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Tang Ji standing behind him: "Go upstream, in a relatively narrow place on the riverbed, the waves will be even more turbulent. ”

"When did you come here?" Looking up at Liu Wei who was standing at the bow of the boat, Tang Ji bent his knees slightly, blessed him and asked softly: "The husband seems to be very familiar with the Yellow River, but the concubine does not remember that the husband has ever left the palace." ”

"Haunting dreams!" Liu Wei turned his head, smiled at Tang Ji and said: "If I don't like the turbulent waves of the Yellow River and don't understand his vastness, how can I keep the world in mind and bring my brothers back to Luoyang in the future to break Dong Zhuo's old thief into pieces!" Take back everything I've lost? ”

He turned around, facing the rushing Yellow River, stretched out his arms, took a deep breath of the river breeze with heavy moisture, and chanted loudly: "Jiuqu Yellow River is thousands of miles of sand, and the power of heaven is scarce at the end of the world!" As soon as the momentum is opened, the millions of male soldiers are all wearing armor! The long wind is angry and the waves are sweeping the sand, and the people and ghosts look at the pass and kill the thieves and horses! Thousands of mountains and thousands of cities into the chest, a bottle of laughter to talk about the world! ”

Standing on the bow of the boat, Liu Wei spontaneously chanted such an improvised poem. Zhou Cang, Dian Wei and the other men on the same boat all turned their heads to look at him, and everyone felt a sense of pride sprouting in their chests.

They already knew Liu Bian's identity, and in the minds of these people, the country of the Han Dynasty should have belonged to Liu Bian. As for Liu Xie, who is now sitting on the emperor's throne, he is just a chess piece of Dong Zhuo, and if Dong Zhuo is removed, it will be time for that chess piece to abdicate.

Liu Wei's return to the throne has become the common dream of Zhou Cang, Dian Wei and the men who follow him. They fight to be able to break free from the confines imposed by the Meat Eaters and become the new Meat Eaters. Liu Wei is the glimmer of light that appeared in front of their eyes!

Looking at Liu Bi with a resolute face, Tang Ji's eyes were rolling with bright tears, and he twisted his face to the side, looking at the endless riverbed rushing eastward, and large tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Following Liu Wei to leave Luoyang is the most correct choice in her life, she chooses a real man, a real hero, and a real emperor who can let her witness the reincarnation of the country and the success of the hegemony!

The ferry boat was getting closer and closer to the riverbank, the bow of the boat hit the shoal and rested in a shallow water, Liu Wei jumped to the shore, raised his arms high, and stretched his waist comfortably.

After crossing the Yellow River, he has already left the boundary of Luoyang, and no matter how strong Dong Zhuo's power is, it is impossible to extend to the north of the Yellow River.

To the north of the Yellow River is the territory of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, and here, Dong Zhuo is just a fart who doesn't even speak.

"Yuanfu!" After stretching his waist, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang, who had just landed on the river bank: "Push the boats back into the water, let them drift downstream, turn around and find a place to go, make a big flag, embroidered with a big 'Han' character on it, and the brothers all shouted, saying that I, Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, have come to the north of the Yellow River!" ”

"Your Highness is mighty!" Liu Wei's words were full of neutrality, and all the men were inspired by his confident momentum, and they cheered loudly.

Liu Wei and others crossed the Yellow River and pushed the ferry into the river, cutting off the road for the pursuing soldiers. On the road between the mountain and the town, there was an army of thousands of people advancing at a rapid pace.

There were six or seven thousand officers and soldiers marching at a gallop, and at the head on horseback was a general about thirty years old with thick stubble on his cheeks.

As the horse jolted, the red tassels on the general's helmet were still shaking up and down. As he rode forward, he asked Jia Xu, who was riding behind on horseback, "General Jia, as far as you can see, can we catch King Hongnong when we rush to Dasi Nong's residence?" ”

"Huh!" Jia Xu lowered his head and smiled, rode behind the general, and said to the general: "Don't hide it from Zhonglang, if Zhonglang sent a surprise army to raid the town yesterday, King Hongnong must have been captured, but now I wait to go, King Hongnong may have already crossed the Yellow River." ”

"No!" It was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu who was talking to Jia Xu, he twisted his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and said: "It is said that King Hongnong is very indecisive, he brings wounded soldiers and women, he shouldn't leave the town so easily!" ”

Jia Xu didn't speak again, but with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he rode a horse and followed Niu Fu and continued to move forward.

Gao Shun returned to the barracks with four soldiers in embarrassment, and Jia Xu already knew that it was too late to leave for the town at this time.

On the day that the messenger sent by Zhu Jun found Niu Fu, Jia Xu had suggested that Niu Fu should immediately lead the elite cavalry to attack the town.

If Niu Fu had accepted Jia Xu's suggestion at that time, even if Liu Wei had not been captured at this time, he would definitely not have walked so calmly. It's a pity that Niu Fu didn't follow Jia Xu's advice, he thought that it was enough to have Gao Shun's team rush first, he only needed to lead the army to arrive later and receive the captured King Hongnong.

It turned out that Gao Shun's team was not Liu Bian's opponent at all, more than 100 people were killed, and they didn't even hurt one of Liu Bian's minions.

After Gao Shun finished talking about being deceived, Niu Fu was furious and immediately decided to gather troops and horses to attack the town. But although Niu Fu looks rough and bold, he is not very courageous, thinking that more than 100 people led by Gao Shun were killed by Liu Wei, he was a little weak-hearted, and delayed for some hours, until he gathered an army of nearly 7,000 people, and then pulled out the camp and approached the town.

Niu Fu's move made Jia Xu understand that Dong Zhuo's plan to hunt down Liu Wei was probably going to be a complete failure. Once Liu Wei crossed the Yellow River and entered the boundary of Hebei, he completely broke away from the scope of Dong Zhuo's power and entered the territory of Yuan Shao and other heroes.

Forcibly crossing the river to pursue Liu Wei was not a wise choice, at least Jia Xu would never be willing to do so.

The official army pursuing Liu Wei was still on the way to the town, but Liu Wei led dozens of men to leave the bank of the Yellow River and advance all the way to Woniu Mountain along the official road.

Earlier, Yan Zheng defected to Zhu Jun, and the official army had cleared the Yellow Turban in the area of Woniu Mountain. Now the heroes of Hebei are also clearing the Yellow Turbans, but the soldiers and horses under Zhu Jun have retreated to the south of the Yellow River, and after Zhu Jun handed over the military power, they have become the strength in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Advancing along the official road was much faster than marching in the fields and mountain roads, and soon the crowd came to the vicinity of Woniu Mountain, and Liu Wei found the outline of a small village not far ahead.

The small village is located on the flat land more than ten miles away from Woniu Mountain, and under the reflection of the sunset, the houses in the village are covered with a thin layer of golden light, looking from afar, giving people a feeling with some gloomy meaning.

The sky is already a little dark, and Zhou Cang has not yet contacted Pei Yuanshao, who occupies Woniu Mountain, and at this time, I am afraid that there will be more trouble on the mountain for no reason.

Liu Wei stopped his horse, pointed to the small village in front of him and said to Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu, you take the two brothers to see first, if there is a village where there are people, spend some copper coins, and ask the villagers to move a few vacant houses, and the brothers will spend the night in the village tonight." ”

"No!" Zhou Cang answered, turned over and jumped off the horse, waved behind him, and ran towards the direction of the village with two men.

Zhou Cang and others ran to the village, Liu Wei led the team to move forward slowly, they walked only more than 20 steps away from the entrance of the village, a man who entered the village with Zhou Cang one step earlier ran back, and when he arrived in front of Liu Bian, the man clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Your Royal Highness, there are no men in the village, most of them are women at home, the villain followed General Zhou into the village, the women hid in the house and refused to come out, and could not discuss with them to spend the night!" ”

Hearing that there were women in the village, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked the man who came to report the news: "You have also walked around here, do you know why there are only women in the village?" ”
