Shixun went out of Juancheng, ran very fast that day, and was able to sleep peacefully in Puyang City at night, and then the next day, he deliberately pressed the speed, and it took two and a half days to arrive in Yancheng, and he rested for half a day - before that, it was out of the Yanzhou territory, which was equivalent to going out of the Cao family's sphere of influence, and the grain, grass, and materials had to be reorganized.

After leaving Yanzhou and entering Henan, the scenery immediately became desolate, and the spring ploughing period was not over, but not only the large fields were barren, but the peasants who rarely met the fields, and even often did not see people for dozens of miles. Shi Xun couldn't help but sigh: "The turbulent times are terrible, and that's it." Xia Houlan said: "I heard that when General Zhu was here, Henan's production recovered slightly, but when General Zhu returned to Chang'an after being edicted, most of the people supported the old and the young, and would rather abandon their ancestral business than leave General Zhu." "It's Xun Xin who said that this is a foolish people, do you think that if you follow Zhu Jun, you must have something to eat? Zhu Jun returned to Chang'an, that is, the tiger fell in Pingyang, and he was not played by Li Dao and Guo Yan? What about the common people who followed him? Either they ate the swords of those Kansai warlords, or they robbed them as slaves, what good end could they have? It's sad, it's so sad!

At that moment, after the county, cross the Bianqu, into Aocang - Aocang is just a small town, there is no official army, the local wealthy people gathered two or three hundred villagers to defend themselves, and when they saw this large group of cavalry, they were so frightened that they quickly closed the wooden fence gate. Shi Xun sent Sun Wen to shout, saying that he was a messenger from Yanzhou, and went to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven and asked them to prepare some wine and food to send out. Sun Wen really deserves to be a big head, and his voice is also extremely loud, and when he roars, almost the entire town can hear it.

The big families in the town are strange, isn't the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, when did he come back to Luoyang? Naturally, they didn't dare to deal with these brightly armored cavalry, and when they heard that the other party just wanted some wine and food, they quickly prepared it and sent someone to send it out. Xia Houlan drank wine. On the other hand, he said to Shi Xun: "If the counties and townships in Henan are like this, only my three hundred horses can sweep." ”

Yes Xun said don't be careless, I don't know elsewhere, but Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses are stationed in Luoyang City, not to mention thousands. Xiahou Lan snorted coldly: "When Dong Thief is here, the Guanxi Army can still be called a strong brigade. Now that the generals are separated and the soldiers are weak, where is the opponent of my Yanzhou army! ”

It was Xun who pointed to the south: "It should be Xingyang there, when the lord discussed Dong, he once competed with the Guanxi Army there, and Qing can fight with him?" Xia Houlan shook her head and said that I was still in my hometown of Changshan at that time. He hasn't gone south to join the revolutionary ranks. Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "You are not from Peiguo, but from Changshan?" There is a Zhao Yun in Changshan, have you heard of it? Xiahou Lan smiled slightly: "I also have a fellow villager, and I heard that he followed Liu Bei recently, and I don't know if it's true." ”

It was Xun who slapped his thigh, what I said, no wonder I think the name Xiahoulan is quite familiar. It was recorded in the history books. Later, Liu Bei burned Bowangpo and arrested a member of Cao General named Xiahou Lan, because this person had an old relationship with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun interceded with Liu Bei, spared his life, and accepted him as a subordinate - ah, it turns out that don't look at your honest face, it is possible to rebel against the revolution in the future!

The next day, we will continue our journey. After Chenggao, tending to Gongxian and Yanshi, they were not far from Luoyang here, but they were forced to leave the Yellow River far away and go around to the southern foot of Beimang Mountain. Shi Xun couldn't help but think of a nursery rhyme in the romance: "The emperor is not the emperor, the king is not the king, and thousands of people ride to the north." "I just don't remember if it was made up by a novelist, or if there was really this song in history?

is sighing. Suddenly, several horsemen rushed back, and immediately the cavalry reported: "The village in front has just been slaughtered, and I don't know what the army did." Shi Xun sneered: "There is also He Jun, it must be Dong Cheng's department...... When the Dong thief usurped the government. Are there still few people slaughtered? Those Kansai soldiers are like bandits! ”

In fact, it's not just the Kansai Army that looks like bandits, all the armies of this year are the same. Even for the relatively disciplined Cao army, when he fought Xuzhou, Tu Wuxian may have exaggerated or even slandered elements (and it was Xun who did not let this tragic situation happen again in this time and space), but when fighting Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, it was not uncommon to destroy one or two villages. It's just that they usually do this in the enemy's territory, and they slaughter the people of the whole village within their own territory, and this kind of bastard thing is only done by the Western Army...... Oh no, maybe I'll have to add a twist.

Shixun couldn't bear to see such a miserable situation, and with his current strength, he couldn't control it at all, so he simply ordered: "Go around the village." ”

But I didn't expect that even if I went around in a big circle outside the village, I could still see the corpses of people who died in the fields from time to time, as well as a pile of wildfires in the east and west that I didn't know what was burning. Cao's sergeants and soldiers all seemed to be unbearable, and several cavalrymen who were about to set off to the front to scout asked Xiahoulan: "If you encounter the looting of the Kwantan Army, what should you do?" Xia Houlan looked at Xun, and Xun snorted coldly: "If you can promise not to let one go, then kill them all." When the cavalrymen heard this, they were very encouraged, and with a "command", they roared away. Shi Xun hurriedly added behind them: "Leave one or two alive mouths, bring them back for me to question." ”

He wanted to inquire about the situation in Luoyang from the mouths of those Guanxi soldiers first, including whether the emperor had arrived? How long will it take? Now the garrison in and near Luoyang City, in addition to Dong Chengbu, is there any other general, how many people are there in total? Only after inquiring clearly can he dare to enter the capital.

There was not much time, and a cavalryman hurried back and reported to Shixun and Xiahou Lan: "Killed seven people, not Guanxi soldiers." Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this: "Where are those people?" The cavalry frowned: "It's strange to say, the hair is bunned, and it turns out to be a Huns." Originally, he captured one and wanted to be escorted for questioning, but he didn't understand the language, so he simply killed him. ”

Huns? How could there be Huns here? Shi Xun hurriedly asked, "But is it true?" Is it indeed the Huns, not Di and Qiang? He thought that in the Kwanxi army, there might be some soldiers of the Di and Qiang tribes. The cavalryman reached out and scratched his neck: "This ...... The villain's hometown is in Hedong, and he is used to seeing the Huns...... What is this...... Unless their appearance and dress are no different from the Huns. ”

It was Xun Yi who waved his hand: "Have you killed them all?" Then lead a certain to see. ”

He had not yet seen the Huns...... Well, he hadn't seen anything other than Goguryeo in this lifeβ€”so I wanted to go over and see for myself. The Xiongnu is a great mystery in Chinese history and world history, not to mention the political and military systems of the great empire of the steppe, even whether they wore their hair or shaved their hair, whether they were yellow or white, scholars from all walks of life have different opinions. This is mainly because the Xiongnu have no written language to record and circulate, and the entire nation has been assimilated by other races, and after only three or five hundred years, there is not even a slag left.

But if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid this is an inexplicable and unclear problem, because the Xiongnu used to be a multi-ethnic empire, and now it is also a multi-ethnic federation, and the number of the headquarters is very small, and there are too many other steppe peoples mixed in, blending with each other and intermarrying with each other, even if the headquarters used to be Caucasian, it is estimated that it is almost yellowed at this time, right?

Sure enough, he led a large group of cavalry to the battlefield where the Huns were killed, and saw seven corpses lying on the ground, all wearing leather armor, wearing hair and helmets - sure enough, they did not shave their hair - and used a horsewhip to pluck their hair and look at their faces, which were the standard East Asian yellow facial features, not like the Turks of later generations. Turning his head to ask the cavalryman who brought him, "Can we have casualties?" ”

The cavalryman replied: "These Huns are roasting around the fire here, and two are invading a Han woman. As he spoke, he pointed to a half-naked female corpse not far away, and then to a cavalryman with a bandage on his left arm.

Shi Xun glanced at the female corpse and snorted coldly: "Good kill!" Then he turned his head and looked at the bonfire that had surrounded the Hunsβ€”the fire had not yet been extinguished, and there was a roast chicken on it...... Hmm, what's that?

Shi Xun was suddenly startled, took a few steps over and stepped on the embers, and then pulled out a roll of bamboo slips that were half black from the ashes. When you open it, the first thing that catches your eye is a neat and elegant line of official books - "Good words!" "Look at the content again -

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Frontier of Weikang. So far, Guan Yi sighed, and Uncle Shu ...... The narrowness, the letter of the hanging discipline in Xingyang. Qu Yin ...... of the Tiger Prison, "I rely on this to be a fu, or a good fu that is quite brilliant!"

Shi Xun simply squatted on the ground, carefully dug up the pile of ashes, and found out a number of fragments, 100~10,000 \ small! The sayings are all written by the same person, looking at the content of poetry, endowment, and historical biography - these Huns robbed which scholar, and they actually used bamboo slips to ignite the fire, which is tolerable, which is unbearable!

Alas, there is still most of this fu left, can Lao Tzu take it back and fill it in completely, and publish it as his own work?

He put the remnants on the carriage driven by Sun Wen, and was waiting for the order to order the procession to move on, when suddenly the sentinels who had approached returned to a horse, and they straddled in pairs, and an officer sat behind the cavalry. It was Xun Zheng who felt strange, and saw the official roll down the saddle and dismount, and cried loudly: "Could it be Mr. Hongfu?" Hongsuke save me, Hongsuke save me! ”

It's Xun who takes a fixed look, alas, isn't this who? "How does a public gift look like this?"

It turned out that this person was not him, it was Zhang Ling's Taishou Huang Gong Li under Liu Biao. At this time, the yellow shot was a wolf, the official clothes on his body were full of dust, and he had torn several cuts, and the crown on his head was gone, leaving a dusty turban, and even a few black bruises on his face. Shi Xun hurriedly went over and hugged the trembling yellow shot with both hands, and he was about to fall to the ground crookedly, he suddenly remembered: "Didn't you go to the palace room of Luoyang on the order of Liu Mu?" ”

Huang shot tears flowed, and sighed: "It's hard to say ......" (to be continued)
