Chapter Seventy-Three: Stepping on the Scorched Earth of Luoyang

The carriage stopped in an instant. Gan Ning rode his horse. Li Hui said: "I'm always worried about Yuan Shao, I have too many festivals with Yuan Shao, I'm worried that his sudden whim will be bad for you, I think so!" Don't go, come with us to Luoyang, stay on Cao Cao's territory and be safer!" ”

Gan Ning didn't say anything, but Mi Fang smiled: "Are you really worried, or don't want to leave someone, or don't want someone to leave?" ”

Zhou Tai and Wei Yan laughed behind Li Hui. Li Hui glared at Mi Fang, Mi Fang didn't care, and turned the horse's head to inform the vanguard to change to Luoyang.

When Li Hui passed by Er Qiao's carriage, Xiao Qiao said to Da Qiao in the car: "Sister, am I right? The general will definitely not let us go on an adventure, he will definitely take us with him, I haven't been to Luoyang since I was so old, I don't know what Luoyang is like! ”

Da Qiao said: "Just you talk a lot!" ”

Li Hui smiled outside: "Little Qiao girl, don't bring much hope, when Dong Zhuo retreated from Luoyang, he completely burned down the Luoyang Palace, and the people all moved away, although Cao Cao has tried his best to encourage the people to live in Luoyang over the years, but the effect is not great, how good can an abandoned city be?" ”

Xiao Qiao poked his head out and snorted: "No matter what, Luoyang is also the original national capital, it is better than your Changshan, right?" ”

Li Hui smiled: "That's not necessarily! For example, the ten best and largest cities today, Chengdu in Yizhou, Xiangyang in Jingzhou, Shouchun in Yangzhou, and Wu County in Jiangdong, these are the cities that have experienced the least wars, except for these like Xuchang, Yecheng, Fanyang, Chang'an, and Xuzhou, which are all cities that have been rebuilt by the princes, and are considered their centers, which are all good cities that are second to none. ”

Xiao Qiao said: "Chengdu, Xiangyang, Shouchun, Wujun, Xuchang, Yecheng, Fanyang, Chang'an, Xuzhou, there are only nine, and there is another one?" ”

Li Hui looked at Xiao Qiao silently. Da Qiao said: "Of course it's Changshan!" ”

"Changshan?" Xiao Qiao sneered and said to Li Hui: "You don't have to bluff me, I know, how can a small county in Changshan be compared with these world-famous big cities?" ”

Li Hui laughed: "The girl doesn't have to believe it, today's Changshan is no longer the same as in the past, Changshan now has more than 500,000 people, millions of acres of fertile land, 100,000 soldiers, and all kinds of shops, when the girl goes, you can see it!" ”

Big Joe smiled slightly. Xiao Qiao said: "I don't believe it? That's your place, of course you say, if it's that good, you're still wandering around and not going back? ”

Li Hui shook his head. Da Qiao said: "Don't talk nonsense with the general, how can the general deceive people, if you go to see it, you will know that what the general said is true!" ”

Xiao Qiao smiled: "You like him, so you can help him speak, I don't believe it!" ”

Da Qiao's face was flushed with shame, and he glanced at Li Hui, who was also looking at her, looking at each other, and quickly lowered his head. Li Hui laughed: "If the girl doesn't believe it, how about we gamble?" ”

"Good!" Xiao Qiao was very refreshing: "If Chang Shan is really as good as you say, I and my sister will marry you, if not, I want you, I want you to ......"

"What do you want me to do?" Li Hui asked.

Xiao Qiao pouted and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it!" ”

Li Hui said: "A word is a certainty! The two swore by high-fives. The moment the two palms touched, Li Hui felt that he was sending silk, cotton, and a bird in the sky, and his heart couldn't help but stir, how much he hoped that this short moment could stay for a while.

Li Hui was reminiscing about the moment he touched Xiao Qiao's skin. Zhou Tai, who is not long-eyed, ran over and said loudly: "Lord, ten miles ahead is Luoyang, Cao Chun sent someone to pick us up." ”

Holding back the aftertaste in their hearts, Li Hui and Zhou Tai came to the front army. Cao Chun personally stood on the side of the road and waited for Li Hui, and this time Li Hui was insightful. Behind Cao Chun, a team of cavalrymen in black clothes and black armor, with neat military appearances and a faint murderous aura, stood there quietly. These cavalrymen were completely wrapped in iron armor all over their bodies, and even the war horses were wearing fine armor. At first glance, you can see that it is definitely the elite of the cavalry.

Seeing this, Li Hui immediately remembered that when he and Huangfu Song burned the Bocai army in Changshe, the invulnerable cavalry led by Cao Cao kept thinking in his heart how to defeat such a cavalry.

Cao Chun arched his hand on the horse and said: "The general arrived on time, according to the orders of my lord, the thousand cavalry I led are all at the disposal of the general!" ”

Li Hui nodded, looked at those cavalrymen, and asked Cao Chundao: "Such an elite cavalry should be Lord Cao's personal guard, right?" ”

Cao Chun said: "These cavalry, called the tiger and leopard cavalry, that is the elite of our army, rarely fight, this time the lord in order to be able to smoothly bring His Majesty back, only sent out, but the general rest assured, these knights are all on the battlefield, everyone is an excellent knight, and they must cooperate with the general to successfully complete the task!" ”

Li Hui looked at these cavalrymen, he really liked them very much, and made up his mind that he would also form such a team of cavalry, and give Yuan Shao a heavy blow when Yuan Shao dealt with him.

Ride with Cao Chun's tiger and leopard into Luoyang. Luoyang has long been unrecognizable, and the entire city has not yet woken up from the nightmare of being burned down. Everywhere there were ruins, and over-the-top weeds broke through the roofs from the ground in the middle of the houses. When the few people saw the arrival of the army, they quickly ran to the side and hid in the weeds.

Looking at Luoyang City, which was like a wilderness, Zhou Tai opened his mouth and asked, "Is this really Luoyang?" ”

Cao Chun nodded: "Since the recovery of this place, my lord has also moved the people, but the effect is not great, now Luoyang City, overgrown with weeds, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards often haunt it, even if the people plant some crops, they will soon be spoiled by the animals, no one wants to come here, so it can only be barren forever." ”

Li Hui sighed: "I think about how prosperous it was when I came to Luoyang, it was crowded with people, shops, and a sea of people during the festival, all of which were Dong Zhuo's harm!" It's hard to build a city, it's too easy to destroy a city! ”

A random open space was found for the soldiers to remove the weeds. Li Hui ordered to camp here. Taking advantage of the gap in camping, Li Hui found Gan Ning and said: "Tomorrow I will take people to Chang'an, you and Mi Fang stay, go north from here, wait for us on the bank of the Yellow River, remember, don't cross the river, this side of the river is Cao Cao's territory, it should be safer, and crossing the river is Yuan Shao's territory." ”

Gan Ning nodded. Li Hui said: "I only leave you behind if you are steady, Mi Fang is excited, you can discuss anything with him, you must not clash with the local soldiers, we have few people, we must not be strong!" ”

Gan Ning nodded again. Li Hui smiled: "Am I a little nagging?" ”

Gan Ning was speechless for a while. Mi Fang, who was already behind them, suddenly said: "It's not just nagging, it's a bit of a mother-in-law!" ”

"Hahaha......" Li Hui smiled, glanced around, thought of something, whispered a few words in Gan Ning's ear, and Gan Ning nodded again and again. The three of them talked and laughed and returned to the camp.
