Chapter 93: Leading the army south to Jingzhou
Li Dao looked at the spectacular scene in front of him, and was suddenly so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
In the end, Liu Dan slowly withdrew from Luoyang City with his nine battalions of soldiers and horses, and rushed all the way south towards the boundary of Jingzhou.
However, what Liu Dan didn't expect was that the Cai family's father and daughter did not follow.
It turned out that as early as three days ago, Cai Yong was summoned by Dong Zhuoqiang as a sacrificial wine.
In just three days, Dong Zhuo successively promoted him to the positions of serving the imperial history, governing the book and serving the imperial history, Shangshu, serving the middle, and Zuo Zhonglang generals, and today he has just been crowned a Gaoyang township.
Cai Yong knew that Dong Zhuo was not a good thing, but he had never been so taken seriously.
He is already in his last years, and there will be no next chance like this.
Liu Dan really understands Cai Yong's choice very well.
Therefore, when he learned the news, he discussed with Ren Ying to leave the property of Meixianglou to the Cai family.
Ren Ying was naturally willing to listen to Liu Dan at this time, she just asked people to pick up her sick father and left the city in a hurry.
Liu Dan's army slowly marched south, and about thirty miles after leaving the city, suddenly there was a shout from the carriage of King Hongnong.
Liu Dan rode his horse and galloped for the first time, and then tried to lift the curtain of the car.
But I didn't pick it up when I teased it hard, as if someone was dragging it inside.
"What's going on? Queen Mother, are you alright? ”
Liu Dan asked very nervously in the carriage, and after a while, the voice of the Empress Dowager He came from inside.
"Brother Xian, I'm afraid that our mother and son won't be able to do it, I really regret not being ...... at the beginning"
Liu Dan became even more nervous after hearing this, so he pushed the curtain even harder.
"Don't move...... I don't want you to see my miserable situation at this time...... I only have one last wish, and I ask my brother to reluctantly agree to it......"
Although Liu Dan has not known the Empress Dowager He for a long time, he has a good overall feeling about this woman.
So, Liu Dan nodded slowly and said.
"Imperial sister-in-law, please say, I will do my best."
After Liu Dan said this, a weak voice came from the carriage after a while.
"I want to rest in the body of the emperor...... Edge ......"
Empress Dowager He's words came to an abrupt end, and then the straight curtain suddenly loosened.
Liu Dan wanted to pick it up when he saw it, but he stopped halfway through his hand.
Liu Dan took a step back, and then bowed to the carriage very respectfully.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
The surrounding soldiers all had serious expressions after hearing this, and hurriedly knelt down to the carriage with Liu Dan and saluted.
It turned out that before Li Dao sent the two of them, he had ordered someone to forcibly pour poisoned wine on their mother and son.
It's just that the dose of the poisoned wine was well grasped, and they didn't die violently on the spot.
After Liu Dan led the army out of the city for thirty miles, he turned directly to the direction of the imperial tomb.
In the end, he ordered someone to open the tomb of Emperor Wen Zhao and buried the two together.
In addition, Liu Dan also asked Liu Wei to be buried in his unfinished mausoleum, and asked people to forcibly block the tomb door and bury the sealed soil.
In October 186, Liu Dan officially led his army on a journey south to Jingzhou.
Because of the small amount of military rations they carried, Liu Dan's army marched slowly, and only arrived near Nanyang County in Yuzhou after fifteen days.
Liu Dan ordered the army to set up camp fifty miles outside Nanyang City, and led Zhang Fei and Dian Wei to borrow grain in the city.
At the gate of Nanyang County, a group of people were joking around a middle-aged man at this time.
"Is what you just said true? As long as you pull away from your bow, you will give it away for nothing? ”
When the man heard this, he looked up at the man who had spoken.
"That's what I say, but you can'......"
When the man heard this, he immediately became angry.
"I really don't believe it, I have to show you today!"
As he spoke, the man reached over and reached for the big bow beside the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man just glanced at it coldly, and then said coldly and proudly.
"Be careful to flash to your waist, I won't pay for breaking your claws!"
Hearing the middle-aged man speak like this, the man became even more angry.
I saw him pick up the big bow and exert a lot of force!
Everyone saw that the green tendons on his neck burst out, but they still couldn't get the bowstring to move.
Everyone looked stupid when they saw this, and they pointed their fingers one after another.
"I'm afraid it's not Zhang Shengong, right? Why can't you pull it! ”
"No wonder this bow sells for so much! It turned out to be Zhang Baogong! ”
"The bow has a fart? If you can't pull it, isn't it a waste? Eighty gold! That's enough to buy more than 10 tiled houses! ”
"A fool would buy it, right? I'm not stupid anyway, and I don't buy it. ”
Liu Dan stood in front of the crowd, listened to the words of everyone, and couldn't help but laugh when he watched the man do thankless things like a monkey.
"Third brother, can you open this bow?"
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately pursed his lips and said.
"I don't like to use a bow, but it's good to buy it and give it to my second brother!"
When Dian Wei heard this, he immediately pouted.
"Third master, why haven't I seen the second master use a bow?"
Zhang Fei suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he said as if he was forced.
"It's not bad to give it to the fourth brother and Xu Gongming, they both can make bows!"
Liu Dan nodded slowly when he heard this, and then squeezed into the crowd and looked at the middle-aged man with his fists and said.
"The boss is polite, dare to ask what the price of this bow is?"
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Danwen's weak appearance, and immediately smiled disdainfully.
"If you can pull my bow open, you won't take a penny! If you buy it, you don't have to talk about it if you lose 80 gold. ”
Liu Dan heard that this middle-aged man was not good, so he couldn't help but want to give him some color to see.
"Third brother, you come and try!"
Zhang Fei was full of arrogance when he heard this middle-aged man speak, and he had already looked at him unpleasantly.
"Okay, let me come!"
After saying this, Zhang Fei went up and pushed the guy in front of him, then picked up the big bow and pulled it hard!
Zhang Fei was full of brute force, and the bow was slowly pulled away under the hard pull.
"It's on! It's really open! ”
"This man is really full of divine power!"
"Hercules is nothing more than that, right?"
"There's a good show to watch now!"
The middle-aged man listened to the chatter around him, and looked at the half-bow that was pulled away by Zhang Fei, and suddenly became a little nervous.
He needs the money from selling his bow urgently!
If this person really took it for free, what would it be?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man immediately explained urgently.
"Half a bow doesn't count, it must be a full bow! It only counts when the bow is full! ”
As soon as he said this, the people around him were a little unhappy in an instant.
Listening to everyone's teasing, the middle-aged man's old face turned red, but he still insisted that he had to draw a full bow.
Zhang Fei was also angry when he heard this, so he tried his best to pull it as if he was angry.
But this big bow is really too heavy, and Zhang Fei has never practiced bows and arrows, so he can't find his waist with brute force.
So, he could only pull a little more than half a bow after pulling for a long time.
"Big brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it......"
Zhang Fei glanced at Liu Dan helplessly, with an apologetic expression on his face.
The middle-aged man was relieved when he heard this, and then he heard a rough voice behind him.
"Third master, give me the bow!"
Dian Wei moved his neck, hands and feet, and slowly walked in front of Zhang Fei.
"Let me try!"
