Chapter 535: First Father

The mighty Luoyang Army, passing through Hedong, crossed the Yellow River, and finally entered the Yin boundary in Henan.

Riding a war horse and walking at the front of the team, Liu Wei could already see the Luoyang city wall faintly emerging in the distance.

As the sun set, the earth was covered with a thin layer of blood, and it was getting late, and night was about to fall.

Guan Qing, who was following Liu Bian, rode his horse to chase after him, and asked Liu Bian in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you going to camp on the spot tonight, or do you want to continue marching?" ”

Looking at the Luoyang city wall bathed in the orange light of the sunset in the distance, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to Guan Qing: "Look at the mountain running dead horses, although you can see the city wall from here, but you really walk, but it is not close." It's already at my doorstep, even if I go home later, it's okay. ”

After Liu Wei's words, Guan Qing turned his head and made a gesture behind him.

Seeing Guan Qing's gesture, an officer raised his arm and shouted, "The whole army is camped!" ”

With the officer's order, tens of thousands of Luoyang troops stopped their march. Although many officers and men were puzzled that they had already arrived at the gate of Luoyang, but did not speed up and enter the city, but instead camped in the field, no one raised any questions.

After receiving the order to camp on the spot, the officers and men dragged the tents from the baggage carts one after another and set up camp tents on the spot.

Just as Liu Wei had just turned over and jumped off the horse, and was watching the officers and soldiers set up camp, a personal soldier suddenly raised his arm, pointed in the direction of Luoyang City, and shouted to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, look! ”

Following the direction of the soldier's finger, Liu Wei turned his head and saw more than a dozen fast horses, rushing towards him in the sunset.

The slanting sun in the west, the orange halo projected on the more than ten fast horses, although they were running wildly against the remnant sun, the bodies of the horses and knights were still plated with a thin layer of orange red.

More than a dozen fast horses rushed towards Liu Bian's side, and the soldiers behind Liu Bian immediately pressed the hilt of their swords and stepped forward, forming a human wall not far in front of Liu Bian, staring at the knights who were getting closer and closer without blinking.

When the group of knights reached the distance where Liu Wei and the others could see their bodies clearly, the soldiers who stood in front of Liu Wei were relieved.

led more than a dozen people to Liu Bian's side, and it was Tao Hu who was transferred from Hedong to Luoyang by Liu Bian.

Tao Hu is just a general in the Luoyang Army, his status is not high, but he is a well-known figure in the Luoyang Army.

The reason is quite simple, Tao Huanniang is Liu Bian's wife, as the brother of the princess, Tao Hu will become the talk of many soldiers after dinner.

However, although Tao Hu is Tao Huanniang's brother, he has never relied on Liu Wei's strength to overpower his colleagues, and he also loves his subordinate officers and soldiers, and it is precisely because of this that his reputation in the Luoyang Army is not bad.

Riding his horse to a place where there were still more than 20 steps away from Liu Bian, Tao Hu turned over and jumped off the horse, led more than a dozen cavalrymen, and ran to Liu Bian, and when Liu Bian approached, he and the more than ten cavalrymen knelt on the ground together, raised their fists, and bowed to Liu Bian.

"Tao Hu, this king will return to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, what are you doing here?" Seeing Tao Hu, Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly, and asked him a little puzzled.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Maintaining a half-kneeling posture with his fists clenched, Tao Hu looked up at Liu Wei and said to him: "Today at noon, Princess Tang is in childbirth, and she will give birth to Lin'er for Her Royal Highness!" ”

"What? Tang Ji gave birth? As soon as Tao Hu's words were finished, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, and although he couldn't believe it, he couldn't hide his joy and asked Tao Hu: "Why is it such a coincidence?" When this king went to Luoyang City, Tang Ji was born! ”

"yes!" From Liu Wei's expression and tone, Tao Hu saw surprise and joy, and hurriedly answered: "The last general came to ask His Highness to return to Luoyang as soon as possible on the order of the military advisor!" ”

"The responsibility of leading the army is to bother the military division!" The military advisor in Tao Hu's mouth, Xu Shu, who was guarding Luoyang, learned that Tang Ji was about to give birth, where would Liu Wei delay outside the city for a while, and hurriedly turned his head to Pang Tong on the side and said: "Early tomorrow morning, please enter the city." This king is happy to get the prince, Luoyang City will celebrate for three days, all the soldiers and people, all with this king! ”

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Liu Bian, Pang Tong said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness just go, Your Majesty will lead the army back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Your Highness is pleased with the prince, and all the troops congratulate Your Highness!" The generals who followed Liu Bian, after learning that Tang Ji was about to give birth and gave birth to a son for Liu Bian, also stepped forward to congratulate him, and Zhao Yun raised his fist high and shouted at the soldiers of the Luoyang Army who were busy building camp tents.

Zhao Yun's shout reached the ears of many Luoyang soldiers nearby. Knowing that Liu Wei had descendants, the soldiers who heard Zhao Yun's shout immediately became overjoyed, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Highness on winning the prince!" ”

One person's shout will not come out too far, but countless people congratulate Liu at the same time, but the shouts float far, far away.

The soldiers of the Luoyang Army, who were busy setting up tents in the distance, did not know what was going on at first, until many of their colleagues congratulated Liu Bian, and they woke up one by one as if from a dream and came back to their senses in amazement.

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of Luoyang soldiers cheered and congratulated Liu Wei, and the scene was quite spectacular.

After a few more brief explanations to Pang Tong and the generals, Liu Wei turned over and jumped on a war horse brought for him by a personal soldier, and together with Guan Qing, led the dragoon guards, accompanied by Tao Hu, galloped all the way towards Luoyang.

Looking at Liu Wei's back, the young Pang Tong's face was full of smiles, and on that almost distorted face, a pair of eyes also narrowed into two narrow gaps with a smile.

"Why is the military advisor laughing?" Seeing that Pang Tong was just looking at Liu Wei's back and laughing, Zhao Yun arched at him with his fists in his fists, and subconsciously asked.

"Your Highness has descendants!" Raising his hand and pinching his chin that had not yet grown a beard, Pang Tong pretended to be deep and said to Zhao Yun: "The tiger father has no dogs, and the son of His Royal Highness will become a generation of Tianjiao when he becomes an adult!" At that time, our efforts will not be in vain! ”

"yes!" Nodding and turning his face to the direction of Luoyang City, Zhao Yun also sighed: "Things are not people, I want to follow His Highness at the beginning and the end, His Highness just occupied a small Woniu Mountain, and now the world is reincarnated, His Highness not only killed Dong Zhuo, but also broke Gongsun Zhan, this Han foundation, I don't think it will be a disaster for a group of villains!" ”

Listening to Zhao Yun's words, Pang Tong didn't say anything more, just nodded silently, but the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

Knowing that he was a father, Liu Wei was already overjoyed in his heart, he felt that the mount with a good foot range on weekdays seemed to him to run as slowly as a snail.

Zema followed behind Liu Wei, but Guan Qing was a little lost in his heart.

During the many days of marching and fighting, Liu Wei would often pamper her in the camp tent, but for some reason, her stomach never improved.

Riding a horse and galloping, turning his head to look at Liu Wei's back, Guan Qing's face showed a faint sense of loss.

She was very envious of Tang Ji, and even a little jealous of Tang Ji. Liu Wei married four wives, but now Tang Ji is the only one who gave birth to Lin'er for him.

Liu Wei, who was galloping at the front of the team, became a father for the first time, and he was inexplicably happy and excited in his heart, and for a while he only cared about shaking the reins desperately, and his legs couldn't stop holding the horse's belly, hoping to enter Luoyang earlier, but he ignored what Guan Qing who was following him felt in his heart.

"Your Highness is back to the city, get out of the way quickly!" Everyone galloped all the way, there was still a small half of the slanting sun remaining on the horizon, the red glow on the horizon was gorgeous and intoxicating, Liu Wei and others had arrived outside Luoyang City, a dragoon guard sped up, rushed to the city gate, while riding a horse galloping, while shouting loudly to the soldiers guarding the gate and the people who were still walking on the streets in the city.

Hearing that Liu Wei returned to Luoyang, the people in the market retreated and stood on the side of the road, staring at the direction of the city gate without blinking.

Many of the people who had already returned to their homes also ran out of their homes when they heard the shouts of the dragoons, and stood at the door, stretched their necks, and looked at the gates.

The sound of horses' hooves roaring like thunder came into the city from outside the city gates, and the people were looking at the city gates with their necks stretched out, and hundreds of fast horses rushed into the city like hundreds of lightning bolts.

The fast horse galloped, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone road, making a deafening sound, like a rolling thunder, galloping under the hooves of the war horse.

Galloping at the forefront of this cavalry, it was the people of Luoyang who had been haunted by their dreams for several days, hoping to see one more time again.

But Liu Wei obviously didn't mean to stop at all, and before the people gathered on the side of the road came to their senses, he had already led the team and galloped past the eyes of the people.

The people of Luoyang, who had never seen Liu Wei galloping in the city like this, were stunned by the hundreds of knights who had not slowed down the speed of the city, and they were ready to kneel down and salute when they saw Liu Bian, but their knees did not have time to bend down, and the backs of Liu Bian and the others had disappeared from their sight.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" The backs of Liu Wei and the others disappeared at the corner of the street, and there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and an old man standing on the side of the road turned his head to look at another old man beside him, and said with a shocked face: "I have never seen His Highness riding a horse in the city, why did he lead hundreds of people to walk so fast today?" ”

"I don't know!" The old man who was asked shook his head, and said with a blank face: "Your Highness is calm, and he is so anxious to hurry, I think what happened!" ”

"Don't do anything unfavorable to Your Highness!" The old man who asked the question first frowned tightly, his expression revealed a deep worry, and he said as if talking to himself: "If there is really a strong enemy to attack, even if we are old bones, we should also pick up weapons and fight on the battlefield with young people!" ”

"That's right!" Liu Bian's anxious hurry, obviously cast a shadow on the hearts of the people, and the old man who was questioned just now was also full of worry, sighed, and took over the words of another old man.
