Chapter 145: The City Destroyed
"Tang Ji is not dead. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xuanyuan Che's indifferent voice was heard in Tang Mao's ears, but it was like a thunderbolt that shocked him.
Staring at Xuanyuan Che deadly, Tang Mao wanted to see from his expression whether this was true or false, but Xuanyuan Che's face had always been an indifferent expression, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"Master Hou, my daughter-" Tang Mao's lips trembled, and he just spit out such a sentence, but he couldn't ask any more questions, lest he hear the opposite answer from before.
"Lord Tang can rest assured, Ling Ai is now living in Benhou's territory, and when this battle is over, Lord Tang can return with Benhou, take Ling Ai, and reunite as a family."
Xuanyuan Che said a word, and then Yang Yun told Tang Mao what happened in the palace, and in order to increase credibility, he also deliberately took out a handwritten letter from Tang Ji and handed it to Tang Mao to win his trust.
Looking at the handwriting in the letter, my daughter was familiar with the handwriting, and the words were quite hesitant and uneasy, with fear of the previous things in the palace, thoughts of relatives, and anxiety about the unfamiliar environment.
Seeing this letter, Tang Mao burst into tears, but laughed heartily.
After some excitement, Tang Mao put away the letter in his hand, sorted out his appearance, bowed deeply to Xuanyuan Che, and said: "Hou Ye's great kindness, Mao has nothing to repay, only the convenience of Huiji's business for several years, all of which will be handed over to Hou Ye to help Hou Ye take charge of the whole county." ”
"With the help of Lord Tang, Ben Hou can rest assured, in the future, this will be a matter of great work." Xuanyuan Che was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, helped Tang Mao up, and asked earnestly.
Tang Mao was stunned, but he didn't expect Xuanyuan Che to have the intention of handing over the Jijun Kingdom to him to govern, rather than the people under his command.
Looking at the serious expression on Xuanyuan Che's face again, Tang Mao's heart moved, combined with Xuanyuan Che's rescue of his daughter from the fire disaster, to the courtesy to himself after that, and the current personal invitation, Tang Mao suddenly understood his plan.
sighed in his heart, he Tang Mao was not an ambitious person, he just wanted to do his job well and make the people live and work in peace and contentment, especially after experiencing the grief after the death of his daughter, some thoughts that should not have disappeared even more, and what he told Xuanyuan Che before was that it was not a lie that he wanted to return to the countryside with his wife.
Now that Xuanyuan Che has the idea of letting himself stay in office, and his daughter was saved by the other party, plus now that the empire is in danger, the world is not far away, whether it is to repay the favor or his own ambition, Tang Mao doesn't mind anything.
"Tang Mao visited the lord and was willing to die for the lord." Tang Mao thought about Xuanyuan again and bowed down.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Che's ears sounded a long-lost system prompt: "Congratulations to the player for successfully subduing the third-rate historical scribe Tang Mao, rewarding 20 points of prestige, I hope the player will make persistent efforts." ”
didn't have time to see Tang Mao's attributes, Xuanyuan Che helped him up first, and his words of praise were a good picture of a monarch and a minister.
"Dong Zhuo is about to take the emperor to the west, and then he will drive the people of Luoyang to go with him, and Benhou will not hide it from the adults, Benhou has an agreement with Dong Zhuo, on the way to the west, Benhou will not be embarrassed by him, but this Luoyang population, Benhou has three-quarters, and the wealth is also one-quarter."
"The lord is wise, now Yizhou is desolate, and the population is needed, and most of the population of Luoyang is being able to govern this Yizhou first, and with a good opening, you only need to continue to move the population in the future."
"What Lord Tang said is what Ben Hou thinks, so these days, you need to arrange your soldiers as soon as possible, and after Dong Zhuo travels west, be ready to receive the people, and there must be no chaos, Yun'er has made some preparations before, you can hand over with her, so as not to repeat the preparation and waste time."
Hearing this, Tang Mao looked at Yang Yun, Yang Yun nodded at him, and motioned for him to go out with him to hand over, Tang Mao hurriedly responded, and after saluting Xuanyuan Che, he hurriedly followed out.
This person's status has basically been determined, how dare he, a newcomer who has just entered the circle, be rude.
Watching Yang Yun and Tang Mao leave, Xuanyuan Che sat in his place and remembered.
Temporarily handing over the matter of arranging the people of Luoyang to Tang Mao, there is no lack of test meaning, if the arrangement can be made in just a few days, then Tang Mao's ability does not have to worry.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
A large number of troops came out of the west gate of Luoyang, all of them were cavalry, and it was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo.
Subsequently, a large number of carriages galloped out of the city gates, either luxurious or simple, all surrounded by soldiers and guards, but all of them were the frames of officials.
In the middle of the carriage procession, there were several large luxury carriages, but they were sat by Dong Zhuo, Emperor Liu Xie and the royal family. Among them, the frames of Dong Zhuo and Emperor Liu Xie are of the same scale, they are all nine-horse-drawn carriages, the highest specifications, and a group of officials and royal families loyal to the Han family see it in their eyes, but they can only curse in their hearts and dare not show it.
The carriage procession was followed by a large number of cavalry guards, and only then did a large number of foot soldiers.
This time, in order to get more wealth, especially when a small half of it was to be divided by Xuanyuan Che, Dong Zhuo was even more ruthless, moving the people of the whole city and transporting all the wealth, and even the imperial tombs of the past dynasties were secretly dug up by him.
In just seven days, the whole of Luoyang became an empty city, or a dead city.
Countless civilians who were unwilling to leave, or who rebelled against the Xiliang Army, were brutally killed. In order to sack Luoyang faster, as long as there is an obstacle, the Xiliang army will definitely face each other, and more than 300,000 people will die tragically.
In order to drive away the people who refused to leave in the end, Li Ru directly ordered to set fire to the whole city, and the entire Luoyang should be burned.
The fire was raging, and even Xuanyuan Che, who was far away in Hangu Pass, could clearly see the fire in the direction of Luoyang.
"It's finally here." Xuanyuan Che muttered to himself.
Immediately with a big move, the whole disappeared in the camp tent, and reappeared, already in Luoyang City, in his original mansion.
It's just that the originally neat and chic mansion is now like a locust transiting, and it looks dilapidated everywhere. Fortunately, the place has not yet been caught by fire.
Ignoring this, he left the mansion, and he didn't go far before he felt hot, but it was already close to the burning building, which was a top-level academy and the highest level among ordinary buildings.
From the Qiankun ring, he took out a set of black clothes in the style of protective clothing, and changed them directly, his whole body was wrapped in clothes, and even his eyes were protected by two transparent crystal gems.
Dressed in this outfit, Xuanyuan Che approached the burning building directly, and after it burned down completely, he caught a blueprint that fell from the sky.
