Chapter 574 It's already a passing by
Under the guidance of the dragon guards for the news, Liu Wei walked briskly towards a house at the end of the street.
There were several Luoyang soldiers standing in front of the house, and when they saw Liu Wei coming over, those Luoyang soldiers bowed in unison and saluted him.
Nodding to the Luoyang soldiers, Liu Wei strode into the house.
Guan Qing, who was following him, did not enter the house immediately, but whispered to a Luoyang soldier at the door and asked, "Who is alive?" Why is it that everyone else is dead, but he is alive? ”
"It's a two-year-old child." Guan Qing asked, and Luoyang Jun hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to her and said: "His parents were killed by the Huns outside, and when he saw the child, the child was in the cellar inside. ”
Knowing that it was a two-year-old child who survived, Guan Qing nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and strode into the house.
As soon as she entered the front room, she saw two corpses placed side by side in the house, and four Luoyang soldiers were wrapping the dead bodies in cloth, which seemed to be transported out of the house to be buried.
Liu Wei, who entered the house first, was already in the inner room at this time.
What he saw was two Luoyang soldiers feeding a skinny child with cooked corn.
The child is too young to be able to eat. When he ate corn, his little mouth was covered with golden rice grains, and he looked delicate and lovely, but the thought that his parents had been killed really made people feel sad for a while.
The two Luoyang soldiers who were feeding the child corn saw Liu Wei coming in, and hurriedly stood up, hugged their fists and bowed to him.
Pressing his hand towards the two Luoyang Junxuan, Liu Wei strode in front of the child, squatted down, and stared at the child with a young face and a grain of rice on his mouth without blinking.
It's strange to say, the child's parents died, but he didn't cry or make trouble, when Liu Wei squatted down to look at him, he also looked back at Liu Bian, and stretched out his little hand and handed the hand holding a small handful of corn to Liu Bian.
The child's actions made Liu Bian's eyes swell with crystal tears again.
What will the future life of such a young child be like without the protection of his parents?
"What's your name?" Reaching out to wrap his hand around the child's little buttocks, he picked him up, Liu Wei looked up at the child who was picked up by him, but there was no crying, and asked in a very gentle tone.
"Tiger!" The child who was picked up by Liu Wei blinked his big eyes twice, stretched out his little tongue and licked his lips, answered in a low voice, and then put his arms around Liu Wei's neck, and his little head was also attached to Liu Wei's head.
"This kid has some fate with His Highness." Guan Qing, who saw this scene as soon as he entered the house, had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Liu Wei: "It's also a shame that this kid has a big life, the whole town has been killed, only he survived, it's really not easy!" ”
"Hmm!" Holding the child, Liu Wei answered softly, he turned around, took a step closer to Guan Qing, and said to Guan Qing: "This son has no parents, and seeing that this king is very intimate, this king wants to raise him as an adult, how about it?" ”
"Your Highness is benevolent!" Picking up his fists, bowing to Liu Bian, looking at the child who was held in Liu Bian's arms, Guan Qing said to Liu Bian with a little hesitation: "It's just that the army is approaching the north right now, if there is another child in the army, what should I do?" ”
"Give it to Akihime!" Liu Wei thought for a while, and then said to Guan Qing: "Zhaoji has no heirs for the time being, and when she fights, she doesn't have to fight with this king like Qing'er, and it is quite appropriate to hand over the child to her!" ”
"Your Highness Mingjian!" Clenched his fists and bowed, praising Liu Wei, Guan Qing handed out his hands to the child, smiled and said to the child: "Little baby, I'll hug you!" ”
Turning his head to look at Guan Qing, who stretched out his hands towards him, the child did not hand out his little hands, but hugged Liu Wei's neck tighter.
Being tightly hugged by the child's neck, Liu Wei smiled at Guan Qing and said to her: "This little guy really has some fate with this king. ”
"You go and invite General Deng!" first said something to Guan Qing, holding the child, Liu Wei turned his head and gave another order to a Luoyang soldier on the side.
The Luoyang army answered, went out of the door, and quickly ran onto the street, looking for Deng Zhan.
The town is not very big, and Deng Zhan is leading the dragoon guards to cooperate with the soldiers of the main force of the Luoyang Army at this time, looking for the corpses of civilians who can be missed.
Knowing that Liu had called him, Deng Zhan hurriedly followed the Luoyang army and ran towards the house where the child was found.
The child kept hugging Liu Bian's neck tightly, and refused to let go of anyone who persuaded him, and Liu Bian was also very helpless, so he had to hold him and wait for Deng Zhan in the house.
Not long after the soldier left, Deng Zhan followed the soldier into the house.
Seeing Deng Zhan coming, Liu Wei held the child in one hand, and gestured towards Deng Zhan with the other, and said to him: "Immediately arrange manpower to investigate where the Hun scouts are, and this king will personally lead the men to kill them all!" ”
When holding the child, Liu Wei still had a smile on his face, but when he mentioned the Hun scouts, his face turned cold, and he gave instructions to Deng Zhan, and his tone was also cold.
"No!" With both hands clenched into fists and bowed down to answer, Deng Zhan didn't say anything, turned around and left the room.
He can understand Liu Bian's mood very well, and when he followed Liu Bian, it was also because he saw that Liu Biao was not as dismissive of the people as ordinary Haoqiang, and even many times, he would put himself in the shoes of the people.
Now that many towns have been slaughtered by the Hun scouts, and the situation in this town in front of him is extremely miserable, it is not a strange thing for Liu Wei to personally lead the team to exterminate the Hun scouts.
found that there was still a child in the town who survived, Liu Wei's mood was somewhat better, and he returned to the room where he stayed, teased the child with Cai Yan and Guan Qing, and slept separately.
In the next two or three days, the Luoyang army marched much slower than before.
After walking for three or four days in a row, the children brought out by Liu Wei from the town took a car with Cai Yan during the day, and at night, they would sleep peacefully under the service of Cai Yan's maidservants.
Every time he saw Liu Wei, the child would show unusual intimacy, but since Luoyang Jun found him in the town, this child has not said a word, just like a little mute.
Liu Wei was also worried that the child was born mute, but after looking for a doctor with the army to examine it, he found that the child's tongue was intact, and it was impossible for him to be a congenital little mute.
In this way, the only explanation is that the child heard and saw the massacre of civilians in the town, but he did not say anything at that time and escaped.
Every time he thinks of this, Liu Wei will secretly praise that this child is only two years old, he can remain silent in front of that tragic scene, and if he grows up, he will definitely make some achievements.
He didn't speak all the time, for fear that his young heart had been damaged by the tragedy of the day, and how to heal the wounds in the child's heart was also the key that Liu Wei should consider.
Leaving the town with the child, Liu Wei named him Liu Jian, took the righteousness and strength, and adopted Liu Jian as his son, and returned to Luoyang to hire teachers for him, and good students taught his studies.
The army continued to advance until the fourth day, when Deng Zhan sent a horse to investigate the Hun scouts, and the news came back that the Hun scouts were still active in the area of Yanmen Yin Pavilion.
The army led by Liu Wei has arrived at Dingxiangshan. In this way, they have already passed by the Hun scouts.
has been rewarded by Tanma continuously, and all the messages are directed to the Yanmen Yin Pavilion.
Knowing that the Hun scouts were far behind them, Liu Wei did not give up his plan to personally lead the men to exterminate the scouts, and he immediately ordered Deng Zhan, the Wang sisters and Guan Qing to follow him back to Yanmen and kill the Hun scouts who had only six or seven hundred people in return.
Running for hundreds of miles, it was impossible to take Cai Yan and Liu Jian, the temporary mother and son, were placed in the army by Liu Wei, and the army was temporarily commanded by Gao Shun and stationed in Shanwu.
After finding out the number of Huns and the position they prescribed, Liu Wei, who had already been holding back his anger and never broke out, finally burst out of his suppressed anger, and led Deng Zhan, Guan Qing, the Wang sisters and five hundred dragon cavalry guards, starry night, straight to Yanmen!
The Yin Pavilion, adjacent to the Great Wall, is not a very prosperous place north of the Great Wall.
The Xiongnu scouts marched all the way south, and what they chose was that there were not many garrisons in Jizhou, and the population was just ordinary.
Since the expedition from Hetao, these hundreds of Huns have quickly eaten up the dry food they carried, and now their supplies are completely obtained by plundering villages and towns.
In order to put pressure on the Luoyang army and the Jizhou army, so that they did not dare to underestimate the Xiongnu, the leader of this group of Xiongnu scouts, whenever he entered a village or town, he would order soldiers to slaughter all the men, women and children in the village and town.
Liu Wei has been looking for them, but this group of Huns is deliberately avoiding Liu Wei.
The number of them is not very large, and everyone knows very well in their hearts that once they clash with the Luoyang army, they will die or be captured, it will be an inevitable thing.
It is precisely because of this that whenever they approach Liu Wei's Luoyang army, this group of Huns will lie dormant so as not to be discovered by Liu Wei.
In the past few days, seeing that the Luoyang army has gone far north, they have become bold again, and they are planning to sack the next village and town.
In a forest twenty or thirty miles away from Yinguan City, hundreds of Huns sat or lay down, resting lazily.
Several Xiongnu leaders gathered together, discussing with each other where to sack villages and towns.
"There are six hundred Jizhou troops stationed in the Yin Pavilion, and the number is comparable to ours!" A Hun general wearing a wolf's skin and a scar on his left cheek looked around at the other leaders sitting cross-legged and said to them: "In the past, we were sacking towns far away from the city, so this time it is better to choose the nearest one!" ”
"You mean ......?" As soon as the Hun general in wolf skin finished speaking, several other Hun generals turned their eyes to him, and one of them asked with a little puzzlement in his tone: "Attack the villages and towns around the Yin Pavilion?" ”
