Chapter 1439: Tea in the Back Garden
led the army into Luoyang City, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun rode in front, and behind them, they followed the neat line of Han soldiers.
In the column of the Han army, there were two prisoner carts, and the prisoner carts were trapped by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were captured in Bowang.
Standing in the prisoner car, Guan Yu closed his eyes tightly.
When he came to Luoyang, he was still a guest, and even helped Liu Wei and fought with Lu Bu.
When he came back to Luoyang this time, he was no longer riding a high-headed horse, but was locked in a prisoner car by the Han army, like a defeated hound, and he couldn't find the spirit of the year at all.
Compared with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei opened his eyes and stared angrily at the lively people on both sides of the road.
The people who were swept by Zhang Fei's gaze, whether they were men, women, or children, would have a cold shiver all over their bodies.
The Han army marched into the city, and the last group to follow was the Jingzhou army, which had surrendered its weapons.
The soldiers of the Jingzhou army were all in rags, and when they walked, they were all bent at the waist, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads more.
Some of the Jingzhou troops who followed behind the Han army took the initiative to surrender to the Han army, and some were captured when the Han army broke through Bowang.
Whether they took the initiative to surrender or were captured by the Han army and entered Luoyang City, the Jingzhou army soldiers felt that they were shorter than the Han soldiers walking in front.
The procession was marching along the street, and Sima Yi and Xiahoudun saw a fast horse rushing towards them.
On horseback was a palace guard.
Riding his horse and rushing to a place only seven or eight steps away from Sima Yi and Xiahoudun, the guard reined in the war horse, hugged his fists and said to the two: "The two generals, Your Majesty has a will, and the Jingzhou army will go to the barracks with the army. The old and weak were given fields and settled near Luoyang, and the hardcover were given armor and included in the Han army! ”
"The Last General's Order!" After listening to the will conveyed by the guards, Sima Yi and Xiahou dun bowed in unison with their fists in response.
Turning around the war horse, Sima Yi shouted to the soldiers of the Han army who followed behind him: "Pass the order, you wait to follow Yu Ban and other generals back to the barracks." The Jingzhou army surrendered, the old and weak were assigned fields, settled in the suburbs of Luoyang, and the strong were selected into the Han army! ”
Sima Yi's order was quickly conveyed.
The officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who followed behind the Han army, when they received the order, they were all stunned and happy.
Especially those old and weak soldiers, when they came to Luoyang, they knew that the strong ones would definitely be selected into the Han army, and they were uncertain.
Whether it will be buried by the Han army on the spot is difficult to say.
Knowing that the emperor not only would not harm them, but also ordered them to be given land to settle down in the suburbs of Luoyang, the old and weak soldiers in the Jingzhou army were even more happy than those who were about to join the Han army.
The team that had received the will slowly drove in the direction of the barracks.
Sima Yi and Xiahoudun rode side by side in the middle of the market, watching the procession pass by.
The Han army had a large number of people, and after walking for a long time, it was finally finished, and only dozens of personal soldiers were left behind the two.
Seeing the team walk through the streets, turn a corner and finally disappear from their sight, Sima Yicai said to Xiahoudun: "General Xiahou, you and I lead the army triumphantly, you should go to meet His Majesty and personally win the victory!" ”
"What Zhongda said is not bad!" Nodding, Xiahoudun said to Sima Yi: "In this campaign, Zhongda has worked hard, please go first!" ”
"General Xiahou is the main general, how can there be a reason for the master book to walk in front of the main general, General Xiahou will invite first!" Without moving, Sima Yi made a gesture of invitation to Xiahoudun.
Staring at Sima Yi for a while, Xiahou raised his face and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”
After speaking, Xiahou shook the reins, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse in the direction of the palace.
Xiahou walked forward, Sima Yi also shook the reins, and rode his horse to follow.
The two rode side by side on the street, and dozens of personal soldiers behind them accompanied them along the way to protect them.
To say that Xiahoudun's martial arts are also excellent, even if the soldiers are not protected, he is not afraid when he encounters more than ten assassins.
The pro-soldiers who accompanied the protection were nothing more than a scene for the two.
Riding horses, they arrived outside the palace gate, and the two turned over and got off their horses and walked towards the main gate of the palace together.
When they arrived at the main gate, before they could pay homage to the guards guarding the gate, the guard officers guarding the gate clasped their fists and said to them: "Two generals, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!" ”
Knowing that Liu Wei was waiting for them, the two did not dare to delay, hurriedly thanked the officer, and strode into the main gate of the palace.
The dozens of personal soldiers who followed them to the palace did not enter the palace, but stood outside the main gate and waited for them.
Entering the palace, the two of them walked a few steps before a general came over them.
The general who came over was holding her hair in a high bun, and the waist of her armor was tightly tightened, making her brute waist more and more uneven.
It was none other than Wang Zhen, who followed Liu Wei all day long.
Wang Liu is pregnant, and she no longer follows him, and only Wang Zhen accompanies Liu Wei all day long.
Seeing that it was Wang Zhen coming over, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun hurriedly stopped, clasped their fists and bowed, and saluted her in unison and said, "General Wang!" ”
Smiling slightly, he arched his fists towards the two, Wang Zhen made a gesture of invitation to them and said: "The two generals have returned triumphantly, and Your Majesty has placed tea in the back garden, waiting for the two generals to go and drink together!" ”
Knowing that Liu Wei had put down the tea in the back garden, Sima Yi and Xiahou listened to it, and they were terrified in their hearts, bent their legs, and bowed in the direction of the back garden.
After bowing and bowing, when Sima Yi raised his head, he did not forget to shout: "We are criminal ministers, Your Majesty treats us like brothers and sisters, and we will make more meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty even if we are crushed to pieces!" ”
Standing aside, Wang Zhen did not stop the two of them from bowing.
It wasn't until Sima Yi shouted that Wang Zhen smiled slightly and said to them: "Two generals, please, don't let Your Majesty and the others be anxious!" ”
After being reminded by Wang Zhen, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun did not dare to delay, and after getting up, they followed her all the way to the back garden.
Entering the back garden, Wang Zhen led the two of them, and now walked along the bluestone path in the back garden, and then led them into a narrow path with many trees planted on both sides.
Walking on the path, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun walked nervously at both sides of the road.
The path is like a sheep's intestine, and you can't see what the end of the road looks like from the entrance.
Walking in front, Wang Zhen felt nervous in the hearts of the two, and didn't say anything to them, just blindly moved forward.
After turning several corners in a row, she saw a pavilion appear at the end of the road, and then she said to Sima Yi and Xiahoudun: "Two generals, Your Majesty is waiting in the pavilion!" ”
Knowing that Liu Wei was waiting for them in the pavilion, Sima Yi and Xiahou Dun's steps couldn't help but speed up a little.
The further they walked to the end of the road, the clearer the scenery in the pavilion became clearer.
In the pavilion, there are three low tables, and behind the low table facing the intersection, Liu Wei is sitting on his knees, sipping the fragrant tea in the cup.
Seeing Liu Wei from afar, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun wanted to go faster, but Wang Zhen in front of them never accelerated, which made the two of them feel inexplicably anxious but it was difficult to open their mouths.
Leading the two of them and leaving the path, Wang Zhen went to the pavilion, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei in the pavilion and said: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi and Xiahou Dun, two generals, please come!" ”
Knowing that Sima Yi and Xiahou had arrived, Liu Wei raised his head and looked under the pavilion.
When he saw Sima Yi and Xiahou Standing under the pavilion with their fists folded, a smile appeared on their faces, and he said to the two: "Yuan Rang, Zhong Da!" On this expedition, the two of you have worked hard, and I have specially prepared some fragrant tea, which is the same as the two of you! ”
Clenched his fists and bowed, and bowed deeply to Liu Wei, Sima Yi and Xiahoudun said in unison: "Your Majesty, the two of us are very welcome!" ”
While Liu Wei was talking to Sima Yi and Xiahoudun, Wang Zhen had already stepped up to the pavilion with his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing straight behind him.
Sitting in the first seat, Liu Wei gestured to the two of them and said, "The two generals, please come into the pavilion and talk!" ”
hugged his fists and thanked him again, and Sima Yi and Xiahoudun went up to the pavilion.
When they arrived at the pavilion, the two of them sat behind the low tables on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.
As soon as they sat down, two palace maids walked up from under the pavilion with fragrant tea.
Kneeling at the low table of the two, the palace maid held a teapot and added fragrant tea to the two.
A glass of water was already full, and the palace maid was still adding to it, and Xiahoudun hurriedly reminded: "It's full, it's full, it's full!" ”
With a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, the palace maid didn't say anything, and added some more before she stopped pouring tea.
As soon as the palace maid stopped pouring tea, Xiahoudun was about to serve the teacup, but he didn't expect that the palace maid was one step ahead of him and used a wooden clip to clamp the teacup.
Pouring the water in the clip on the low table, Xiahoudun watched as the tea seeped into the small holes on the low table.
He didn't understand why the palace maid wanted to do this, but the palace maid filled the teapot with water again, poured him another lamp, and then owed him and said, "General, please drink tea!" ”
first poured all the tea in his teacup, and then poured a full cup before inviting him to drink tea, making Xiahoudun confused and at a loss.
Compared with Xiahoudun, when the palace maid poured tea, Sima Yi was indifferent, witnessing the palace maid washing a cup for him and then pouring tea.
"This tea is produced in Jiangnan. Take a little from the tip of the leaf and stir-fry it! Picking up the teacup, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to the two: "I don't have many here, today I learned that the two of you returned triumphantly, so I specially ordered someone to send some to share with the two of you!" Come, I'll drink this cup first! ”
