Chapter 49: Epilogue (2)
Li Ru, the commander of the Western Liang Army, set up a large array in Luoyang, and took Luoyang City as a sacrifice, which was bound to trap the Kwantung princes in Luoyang City. But at the last moment, Li Ru was suddenly devoured by the magic circle, and the magic circle that he lost his control instantly went viral, and Li Ru himself also ended up with no bones left under the magic circle.
The Kwantung princes narrowly escaped, but they also left almost all the soldiers alive, and the general Sun Jian was seriously wounded, and a small military division surnamed Zhou was also lost in the city.
The Xiliang army was better, although it also lost a lot of soldiers, but fortunately, the generals were not injured much, but if Li Ru is counted, then the losses of the Xiliang army cannot be estimated in ordinary terms.
The two armies fought each other and fell into a chicken feather, but it was a bitter thing for the people in Luoyang City, Li Ru made a big array, and sacrificed the people in Luoyang City eight or nine times out of ten, and the spirit of the ghost lingered in Luoyang City, and it could not be dispersed for a year or two.
"The grandiose capital ended up like this."
On the head of the tiger prison, Cao Cao looked at Luoyang City, where the yin qi lingered, and sighed.
"In such a troubled era, we need to help my generation."
Liu Bei on the side was more active than Cao Cao, although in Luoyang City, his losses were much greater than Cao Cao's, not only the soldiers he had saved were lost, but the military advisors he had finally met were also missing.
"Xuande ......"
"I really admire Xuande Gong for having such great ambitions, why don't you work with me to clear this turbid world together!"
The third voice interrupted Cao Cao, who was about to speak, but it was Yuan Shao, who put him on Liu Bei's shoulder, looking heroic.
If no one who has been in contact with Yuan Shao sees Yuan Shao like this, they will definitely be impressed by his so-called heroism, but Liu Cao and the others have worked with Yuan Shao for a long time, so they will naturally not be confused by Yuan Shao's appearance - the news of Yuan Shao's seizure of Jizhou has reached the ears of the two.
"I understand the kindness of the first duke, but General Gongsun Chan has already expressed me as the Sima of other departments, so I can't work with the general."
Liu Bei quietly dodged his shoulders away from Yuan Shao's hand, and he looked at Yuan Shao with a look of sincerity and helplessness.
It was as if he really wanted to work with Yuan Shao.
Seeing that Liu Bei moved out of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao didn't want to say anything, Cao Cao's eyes wandered on the faces of the two, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, it was a man who looked like a young military general and climbed to the top of the city.
"General Benchu, General Mengde, General Xuande!"
Sun Ce saluted the three of them one by one, and then spoke.
"Today, we are going back to Jiangdong, and my father sent me to say goodbye to the generals."
"Are you gone today? How is General Sun Jian's injuries? Do you want to stay two more days? ”
Yuan Shao said this sincerely, and he still remembered Sun Jian's kindness to cover him.
"Thank you for the kindness of General Benchu, I have received it on behalf of my father, but Jiangdong cannot be left without an owner for a day, the news of my father's serious injury will come back to Jiangdong, and people's hearts will definitely fluctuate, so it is better to go back earlier to stabilize the situation."
Although he is only a teenager, Sun Ce's words are in and out of measure, and the momentum of the little overlord of Jiangdong has already gained half a point in the future.
"If that's the case, I won't keep it, and in the future, I can use my Yuan Benchu, just open my mouth."
"By the way, I don't know if you found the treasure in Luoyang City?"
At this moment, it was Liu Bei who spoke, and seeing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's puzzled faces, Liu Bei explained.
"My Zhou military advisor had previously calculated a hexagram for General Sun, saying that General Sun would find treasures in Luoyang."
Hearing Liu Bei's explanation, the eyes of the two turned to Sun Ce again.
"Ugh."
Sun Ce sighed first.
"My father has always been concerned about that treasure, but now Luoyang is like this, everyone also sees it, no matter how much the treasure is, it will be a dead thing after all, and it is not worth taking risks for it to enter Luoyang again."
Sun Ce was quite disdainful of the so-called between his words, but he didn't know if he would be so calm if he really knew what the treasure was.
……
Hangu Pass.
The convoys of each family dragged their belongings on the avenue, like a pen of dry ink on the avenue to draw a few miles long intermittent traces, from time to time there were mounted Xiliang Army sergeants through the convoy, but these soldiers only managed discipline, but did not harass the people.
After the stick, there is the radish, although Dong Zhuo acted violently, he still knew the most basic truth, not to mention that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, without the help of these eunuchs, no matter how strong the Xiliang army was, it would be impossible for the imperial court without civil rule to last long.
It has been more than ten days since the evacuation of Luoyang, and although the atmosphere in the team is tense, it is much more relaxed than when it first set off.
However, such a relaxed atmosphere did not appear in the Sima family's convoy, and the Sima family's convoy was the same as a few days ago, and only the servants came out to walk.
In the carriage, Sima Yi's family, dressed in servant and miscellaneous clothes, sat around nervously, while Sima Yi was surrounded by them in the center.
In front of Sima Yi, there were a few balls made of mud, and under the gaze of everyone, he took out a skeleton from his arms, and the purple light in the skeleton's eye sockets floated, and a few wisps of purple mist slowly floated out of it and seeped into the mud pills.
If the people in Luoyang a few days ago saw this purple mist, they would definitely recognize it, and this purple mist was exactly the same as what Li Ru had released.
No, it's just the same thing. After Sima Yi obtained Li Ru's skeleton, Li Ru would, and he would, even more skillfully than the latter.
Now that it was still some time before the purple mist was completely impregnated with the mud pills, Sima Yi looked at the mud pills, and then looked up at the people in the family.
"The purple mist in this can block the vitality for three hours, so that you fall into suspended animation, after three hours, you will wake up on your own, but you can only hold it in your mouth, you must not swallow it, if you swallow it, the purple mist will infect the viscera, and you will never wake up again."
I don't know how many times Sima Yi said this, but none of the people present, including the children, had any impatient looks on their faces.
Saying that, Sima Yi was the first to take the lead in eating the mud pills, and then everyone, including Sima Fang, stuffed the mud pills into their mouths.
After a long journey, it is common for someone to be contaminated with wind and cold, and it is also common for ordinary servants to die of illness due to wind cold.
