At the head of the line was a cavalry under the black press.

Like a red tide, the cavalry marched slowly along the streets, carrying round shields and swords in their hands.

At the head of the cavalry queue was Liu Wei, who was dressed in golden armor and wearing a golden crown.

The rising sun casts a soft golden light on the earth, and Luoyang, an ancient city located on the bank of Luoshui, is also covered with a pale golden coat.

The sun shone on Liu Wei's body, and the golden armor scales and hair crown refracted dazzling light in the sun, and those who were close to him were almost pierced by the light. The brilliant golden light all over his body added a little bit of nobility to this young Han nobleman.

Riding a horse to the left of Liu Wei was a young man in a patched dark coat and a female general in red armor with a large knife in hand.

The young man was extremely ugly, and many of the people who had gathered outside the main gate of the palace could even remember that he had questioned Liu Wei in front of everyone.

In the Luoyang army, all the officers and soldiers are brightly armoured, except for Pang Tong, who is dressed in a blue and dark coat, and he is very shabby, which makes people feel that he is like a flower child mixed into a mighty and heroic division.

Especially the part of the left sleeve of his deep coat against his elbow, which is very eye-catching with a boxy patch, which makes his already ugly appearance a little more shabby.

The female general who followed behind the young man had a face like a jade and a graceful posture. Riding on a war horse, the round buttocks are close to the saddle, and under the squeeze of the saddle, it looks even more round and full.

This female general is none other than Guan Qing, who is going to go on the expedition with Liu Wei this time. Guan Qing's armor is different from that of other generals, due to the woman's posture, her armor is very tight, and her tight waist seems to be only as wide as a hand. Compared to the waist, the upper body of the armor is much looser. But even so, the heavy armor scales could not hide her graceful posture, especially the full peaks, and even lifted the armor on her chest high, giving people the illusion that the armor was about to burst out.

Walking in front of Liu Wei on the right side of the horse was Tai Shici, who was wearing a double halberd and tight scale armor behind his back. Behind Tai Shici was Guan Hai, who was holding a big knife and looking fierce like Guan Qing.

Guan Hai has a full beard, his face is as black as the bottom of the pot, and his eyes are like copper bells, which give people a sense of almost barbaric coercion.

All the cavalry rode tall horses purchased from the north, and since Anyi had enough money and food, Xu Shu had been following Liu Wei's instructions to purchase war horses from the north and eliminate the original dwarf horse breeds.

All the ponies have been rationed to logistics to transport grain and grass, and now all the horses under the crotch of the cavalry have been replaced by tall northern horses. The tall war horses and the brightly armored cavalry on horseback make this cavalry that has been charged into battle mainly and beating reinforcements on the side, giving people a strong feeling that is completely different from the previous Han cavalry. Compared with the cavalry of the Han army in the past, the cavalry team led by Liu Wei is more powerful and more sophisticated.

Behind the 10,000 heavy cavalry were the infantry, which lined up in a neat line, with the same steps.

The infantry in front of them all carried round shields behind their backs and held long and heavy swords in both hands; The one in the back holds the round shield in his left hand and the Pu knife in his right hand; Sandwiched between these two cavalrymen armed with Sen Han's broadswords were thousands of crossbowmen with long swords at their waists and crossbows in their hands.

When the cavalry walks, it is still difficult for the hooves of the war horse to be consistent, at most the horse's head can only be connected to the horse's head. And the infantry march, it is not like that at all.

Every step of the foot was in perfect harmony with that of his companions. Not only did they raise the same feet as they walked, but even the length of their strides was the same.

The footboards of the 20,000 infantry stepped on the bluestone-paved streets, and there was only one sound.

Leading the army, slowly marching on the streets, the people who were sending each other off knelt on the ground when Liu Wen's war horse approached, and many people even shouted "The King of Luoyang is mighty" in their mouths.

Walking through the street on horseback, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the people kneeling on both sides, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

When the Xiliang army left Luoyang, it brought endless disasters to the people, and the Xiliang army forcibly demolished their homes, and launched a bloody massacre of those who were unwilling to cooperate with the migration to Chang'an.

Liu Wei was named the king of Luoyang, but he only issued an edict, and because he was unwilling to move to Chang'an, the people who had suffered the catastrophe rushed to return to Luoyang at that time.

Seeing that Luoyang gradually recovered its former prosperity from the devastation, Liu Wei witnessed the migration of the people. At first, the people who came to Luoyang were still in groups, and they were not very embarrassed. But later, the people who returned to their homeland were based on their families, and they were already exhausted when they returned to Luoyang.

It is difficult to leave the homeland, and the murderers who demolish the people's homes will naturally be hated by the people. This grudge is not something that can be easily eliminated. At the moment when the Xiliang Army demolished the people's homes, the people of Luoyang and them had already formed a hatred that could not be erased over the years.

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei was leading the team forward, and suddenly an old man's shout came from the side of the road.

Hearing the old man's shout, Liu Wei stopped his horse and turned his head to look at the side of the road. I saw an old man in his fifties kneeling straight on the side of the road, with tears on his face, shouting to him: "Your Highness must be the master of the small people, and kill all the people of Xiliangjun!" ”

Beside the old man, there was also a group of people kneeling, the most eye-catching of which was a mother-in-law who cried and fainted due to excessive sadness.

As the old man shouted, the people kneeling on both sides of the street suddenly mourned, chaotic and noisy, and many people begged Liu Wei to kill the Guangxi Liang army and wash away their grievances.

Liu Wei didn't get off the horse, he just looked around at the people who were crying and screaming, and after a while, he raised an arm.

As Liu Wei raised his arm, the cries of the people on both sides gradually became quieter, and when they reached the end, there was no other sound except for a few soft sobs that could be heard occasionally.

"Folks!" When the people calmed down, Liu Wei shouted to them: "This king went out to fight today, in order to kill the Xiliang army and clear the grievances of the villagers!" Revenge for General Hu and hundreds of soldiers who died on the bank of the Yellow River due to the sneak attack of the Xiliang Army! ”

shouted the word "revenge", the muscles on Liu Wei's cheeks twitched violently a few times, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and from his slightly narrowed eyeliner, a fierce murderous aura flashed vaguely.

"This king promises here today that if he does not kill the Xiliang army and the thief chieftain on this expedition, he will not return to Luoyang!" Drawing out the long sword at his waist, Liu Wei put the blade of the sword in the palm of his left hand, and with a hand, he drew a bloody mark in the palm of his hand, he clenched the bleeding fist tightly, raised it high, and shouted to the people kneeling on both sides of the road: "Let our blood stain the waves of the Yellow River red!" Let our long knife go straight to the throat of the thief army! Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! With Liu Wei's angry roar, the 30,000 officers and soldiers who accompanied the expedition all raised their swords in their hands and shouted in unison.

The people kneeling on the streets on both sides, men, women, and children, all stood up one after another, raised their arms high, and shouted along with the officers and soldiers.

The shouts of killing all over the city, the entire Luoyang City trembled. The solid city wall of Luoyang also seemed to be frightened by this burst of shouting and killing, and it was much more sluggish than usual.

Under the help of the people, the team slowly advanced towards the city gate. Until the last infantry walked out of Luoyang City, the people who saw them off also poured out of the city gate, crowded outside the city gate, and waved towards the army led by Liu Wei from a distance.

Out of the city gate, Liu Wei never looked back. He knew that behind him, there were countless pairs of eyes full of anticipation, staring at the army advancing westward, eager for the army to bring back the good news of completely annihilating the Xiliang army.

Liu Wei swore an oath in the city, but he only mentioned that he wanted to kill the thief chief of the Xiliang army, and the thief chief in his mouth was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu. But Li Dao and Guo Yan were not among the targets he wanted to seek this time.

Out of Luoyang, the speed of the team's march accelerated a lot. Along the way, Liu Wei saw that many villages were already populated, and with the support of enough money and food, the fields outside these villages had been planted with crops.

It is still far from the harvest season, and the green grain seedlings are blown by the wind, like a piece of green blue waves, dancing in one direction, adding a little bit of joy to the scenery of the countryside that will usher in a bumper harvest.

"Herald the army, no one is allowed to step into the farmland, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Leading the team on the avenue a little farther away from the farmland, Liu Wei shouted behind him.

As soon as his words fell, one of the horsemen turned his horse's head and galloped towards the end of the group, and while riding his horse, the cavalryman shouted loudly: "Your Highness has an order, no one is allowed to step into the farmland, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

As a result of Liu's strict orders, the officers and men were a little more cautious when they were on their way, and under the command of the officers of various departments, the whole team moved a lot away from the farmland.

Whenever Liu Wei's army passed by a place where there was a village, the people in the village would always run out and kneel on the ground when they got the news, sending off this heroic army that was about to go to the battlefield.

Not only the people in Luoyang City have been persecuted by the Xiliang Army, but the people who have cultivated farmland outside the city and relied on it for their livelihood have also been deeply poisoned by the Xiliang Army.

The entire Luoyang is full of hatred for the Xiliang Army, looking forward to Liu Wei's battle to find justice for Luoyang, which has been persecuted by the Xiliang Army.

"Report!" The army was moving forward, rushing a fast horse from the front, the scout on horseback was still a few steps away from Liu Bian, turned over and jumped off the war horse, ran quickly in front of Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian with both hands in fists: "Your Royal Highness, Niu Fu killed Dong Yue a few days ago, and collected all his troops. Li Dao and Guo Yan's subordinates also attacked Chang'an on the order of Niu Fu a few days ago, Wang Yun sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to lead the army to meet the attack, Xu Rong was killed in battle, Hu Zhen surrendered to the enemy, and the battle situation was not optimistic! ”

"This king has just sent troops, and they are already making a fuss like a pot of gruel!" After listening to the scout's report, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Pang Tong on the side, and asked him, "Niu Fu's withdrawal from Shaanxi County is probably not because he is afraid of this king, but because he wants to compress the battle line, wait for Li Dao and Guo Yan to break through Chang'an, and then fight to the death with this king!" ”

"Your Highness's words are true!" Riding on horseback and looking at the west, Pang Tong nodded and said to Liu Wei: "Niu Fu gathered his troops and horses and stationed them in the area of Zheng County. Once Chang'an falls, he can retreat to Chang'an, and enter Hongnong, and His Royal Highness was ordered to rescue Chang'an, but there is only one way to attack. ”

"What does Master Pang think our army should do?" Waving his hand at the scout who reported the news, Liu Wei looked at Pang Tong and asked him: "In this way, the grain and grass of the Niu Fu army are probably all stored in a place very close to Chang'an, and if our army wants to set fire to the grain, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed!" ”
