Chapter 17: Lochu
It is said that since Zhao Yun shot the head of the Huang family with an arrow, and Liu Beijun defeated the Huang family and the six affiliated families, the mood of the people in Jinan and the surrounding counties has changed.
When Liu Bei was busy dealing with the follow-up, Luo's son, who left Luoyang City, arrived at the south bank of the Great River after several days of marching.
Jizhou is usually called Hebei because the original division was bounded by the big river.
During the Bangzhou period, Luoguo and Weiguo were both in Hebei, and the two countries were not far apart, and later Luoguo made great achievements and expanded eastward into a country across the big river, but the capital of Luoguo has always been in Hebei.
Every time the Zhaocheng mission went to Luoyang, it crossed the river through Hanoi County, and now it also returns to Zhaocheng from Hanoi County.
With the passage of time, the water of the river is gradually not as clear as a thousand years ago, but because the Qin Dynasty did not have time to cut down mountains and forests on a large scale, the early Han Dynasty paid attention to the protection of water and soil, and did not build a large range of palaces, so the river has always been relatively clear.
It was not until the gradual abandonment of Guanzhong and the change of environment in the Later Han Dynasty that it changed, but the river is still only slightly turbid and not completely yellowed.
Luo Chu, the youngest of the Luo clan in the group, suddenly reined in his horse by the big river, looked at the river in front of him with the sound of surging water, splashing waves, and never stopping running eastward, and suddenly said to Luo Shu: "Second uncle, nephew will not return to Zhaocheng.
Aunt Diao Chan was sent to Zhaocheng, and the Cai noblewoman was there, thinking that something good was coming.
If any uncle or uncle marries, he will send a letter to the Marquis of Ying, and a nephew will return to Zhaocheng to congratulate him."
Luo Shu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ah Chu, you haven't been crowned yet, so there's no need to go back to the Yinghou Kingdom.
Besides, this world is chaotic, and you are a child walking alone, how can I rest assured. What if my sister knows that I let you leave alone, and blames me after worshipping my ancestors and returning to Zhaocheng?"
Luo Chu smiled when he heard this, he was the kind of particularly bright and sunny look, which always warmed people's hearts.
"Mother may miss me, if I return to the Yinghou Kingdom now, I will definitely have only joy in my heart, and besides, it is only six hundred miles to return to the Yinghou Kingdom from here, and I can reach it in a few days, which is nothing."
Seeing that Luo Chu's mind had been decided, Luo Shu could only agree, but of course he couldn't really let Luo Chu go alone, Luo Shizi went alone, it was simply Tang Seng entering the monster pile and giving away his head.
He muttered and said, "Ah Chu, twenty spirit soldiers and three hundred daring soldiers will return to Yinghou Kingdom with you, and then let them return to Zhaocheng when you go back."
Luo Chu responded with a smile, Luo Shu patted Luo Chu's head gently, and everyone stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder and said, "Back to Yinghou Kingdom, say hello to your father and mother for us, this farewell, see you when you worship your ancestors."
Luo Chu dismounted and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Shu, then got up and said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't say goodbye, uncles, don't say goodbye!"
Diao Chan looked at the radiant teenager curiously, she was much older than Luo Chu, even in this world where Luo's advocated late marriage, her age was also a suitable stage for marriage, but her appearance had not changed since she reached perfection.
Luo Chu took the brave soldiers to prepare all the way through Yanzhou and then enter the Yinghou Kingdom, according to the current month, it should be the time to withdraw the troops back to the Yinghou Kingdom to farm.
With the Taiping army all going to Luoyang, the game between the Yanzhou government and the bandits has eased a little, but it is still chaotic.
But daring warriors to travel, especially the twenty spirit soldiers who are in armor all the time are at the front, no one dares to provoke them at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that just these three hundred daring soldiers, even if there are thousands of militia or those ordinary county soldiers on the opposite side, it is useless, and they will scatter and flee in all directions with a charge.
This was the first time in Luo Chu's life that he led an army to travel alone, which was quite a novelty, but while he was on the march, he suddenly encountered a group of displaced people who were besieging the caravan.
The caravan was very large, hundreds of carts, full of goods, not counting the horsemen, etc., there were hundreds of guards alone, well-armed, and even bows and crossbows.
As the son of Luo, the representatives of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty still know that the wealthy family,
Luo Chu knew at a glance that this was the caravan of the Mi clan in Xuzhou, not only Zhaocheng often traded with trade, but Yinghou also often had business dealings with the Mi clan.
Luo Chu decided to relieve the siege of the Mi caravan, and he made a brief observation, the strength of the exile army besieging the Mi caravan was not strong, but there were more than 3,000 people, and there were no more than 100 people with one or two pieces of armor, and it was precisely because of this that they could not break through the guards of the Mi caravan for a while.
In the caravan, Mi Zhu only felt that he was too unlucky, with his identity, he basically didn't need to run a business in the family in person, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he came out this time.
As the homeless army gradually surrounded him, the people around him began to persuade him, "Master of the family, these goods can't be wanted, the target of these homeless people is the goods, we can break through directly and leave safely."
Although Mi Zhu was aggrieved in his heart, he knew that there was no other way than this method, and he couldn't waste the family's manpower here, so he said angrily: "When I return to the family, I will definitely eradicate this outcast, so as to avenge today's revenge."
Most people don't take this seriously, if it is still possible in Xuzhou, the Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou, although it is not the kind of Dashi clan who has been hairpinned for generations, but the real wealth of the rich businessman has a very high status.
Mi Zhu was recruited by the two Xuzhou Thorn History as a don't drive, the so-called don't drive, when walking with the Thorn History, because of his high status and riding alone in a carriage, this is called don't drive!
This is the first adjutant under the history of the assassin, and it can only be served by the head of the big clan in the state, and Mi Zhu's status in Xuzhou can be seen.
If this army of exiles is in Xuzhou, it is indeed a bad prospect to offend Mi Zhu, but this is Yanzhou, and Mi Zhu's power will not be able to reach at all, and Mi Zhu's words can only be a mouthpiece.
"Huh? Head of the house?"
Suddenly, his subordinates pointed at the outcasts who had suddenly dispersed, and they couldn't speak.
Mi Zhu hurriedly turned around and looked, only to see that those previously quite fierce exile troops suddenly scattered and fled, and a tall phoenix banner was raised on the outermost periphery. Phoenix?
Mi Zhu suddenly reacted, and the whole person lost his voice: "It's Luo's!"
His subordinates finally recovered from their speechlessness, and said loudly with infinite joy in their voices: "The head of the family, it is really the Luo clan, it is the Luo clan warrior!"
The costume of the dare warrior is too obvious, there is only one in the world, there is no other family, plus this unique phoenix flag and the big Luo character, if you don't know what happened, you are a fool.
There is a son of the Luo family passing by here!
After the daring warrior put on his armor, Luo Chu swung his sword down, and the human wall was torn apart with just one charge.
Dare to be a warrior in black armor and red robes, and there are good horses under his crotch, although there are only hundreds of people, but the momentum of the charge is like a thousand troops.
The commander of the exile army saw that the brave soldiers could not raise any intention of resisting at all, and immediately fled with the people, and the entire exile army scattered and fled in a short period of time.
Luo Chu rode his horse and charged in front of the Mi clan's caravan, Mi Zhu hurriedly walked out of the caravan and bowed deeply, "I don't know which Luo clan's son is in front of him.
In the lower Xuzhou Mi family head Mi Zhu, the son of Zhu in the fire and water, Zhu thanks!" net
Luo Chu stretched out his hand to take off his helmet, revealing that bright face, Mi Zhu didn't expect it to be such a young boy, Luo Chu didn't expect it to be the head of the Mi family, and said in a clear voice: "The master of the Mi family doesn't have to be polite, I have never been crowned, I have never had a word, just call my son Chu."
My father, Yinghou, is heading to Yinghou on this trip, and it happens that the head of the Mi family is in danger on the way, and it is just a matter of effort."
Childe Chu!
Yinghou's son, as for the son-in-law, don't think about it, not to mention the stigma in the center of the eyebrows, after the collapse of the Luo country, as long as there is a wife, they will not accept concubines.
Either like Donghou Luojing, if he doesn't marry a wife, all of them are concubines, and who doesn't know that the contemporary Yinghou is marrying a daughter of the Luo family, and it is impossible to have a concubine.
Looking at Luo Chu's appearance like a scorching sun, he suddenly remembered his sister, who was a beauty who was famous in the whole of Xuzhou.
Even if it is low-key, there is not a word of Yanguan Xuzhou
Any questions. I heard that Luo's son never looked at his family background when choosing a wife, but also looked at his appearance and his virtue.
In terms of appearance, his sister is absolutely fine, and he has lived for so many years and has never seen a more beautiful woman than his sister.
Needless to say, in terms of virtue, the Mi family is a wealthy family, and the woman who comes out is definitely knowledgeable.
Although my sister sometimes has a child's temper, it is not annoying, which is where the joy of life lies.
And Mi Zhu, who often deals with Luo's business, knows that there are many things that women in Luo's are in charge of the family business, and her sister likes business the most, and she is very talented in this regard.
If she marries into Luo's, after understanding her abilities, Luo's will definitely let her be in charge of a part of the business, so that she can also do what she likes.
Mi Zhu still loves his sister very much, if he has to sacrifice Mi Zhen's marriage for the sake of the family's great cause, Mi Zhu will still sacrifice, but if he has a choice, he still hopes that his sister can marry a wishful husband.
Mi Zhu's thoughts drifted farther and farther, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good, which was a win-win outcome, so he became more and more enthusiastic about Luo Chu.
Luo Chu only felt that this Mi family master was too enthusiastic about him, but he didn't hate it, because he could feel that there was no trace of hypocrisy in this enthusiasm, and it was full of sincerity.
He naturally didn't know what was going on, and it was impossible for him to think that in this short moment, Mi Zhu would regard him as his future brother-in-law.
If he knew what Mi Zhu was thinking, Luo Chu would definitely cry and laugh, the rumors of Luo's son choosing a wife to see his face have spread so widely?
Mi Zhu and Luo Chu walked all the way, and under Mi Zhu's deliberate welcome, the two talked happily.
But the caravan was slow, and the two had to separate after all, although Mi Zhu wanted to take Luo Chu back to Xuzhou immediately to meet his sister, but he understood that these things were urgent.
Luo Chu is now going back to Yinghou Kingdom, this is the right thing, so after the appointment, Luo Chu was invited to Xuzhou as a guest, Luo Chu originally planned to go all the way along the Huai River to the south, to see the old land of Wu Chu, to see the scenery of Jiangdong.
There is a Chu character in his name, and he is quite interested in the land of Chu, although Jiangdong is now called the old land of Wuyue, but in fact, it is the place where the Chu culture is preserved the most, more than the real old land of Chu in Jingzhou.
When the two separated, Mi Zhu was very generous and gave a large number of gifts to the brave soldiers, which was regarded as a reward for the previous siege.
Luo Chu knew at a glance that these gifts were given, and Mi Zhu's profits from his trip to business were basically gone.
But Mi Zhu didn't feel distressed, and Luo Chudu, who was watching, nodded slightly, no wonder he could inherit the family business and become bigger, he was really not an ordinary person.
For the gift given by Mi Zhu, Luo Chu asked the dare warrior to accept all the orders, just like the Buddhist classic "The Buddha still needs sesame oil money", and the dare warrior is not iron-beaten, so why not take more money.
Especially in the past few years, the family finances have not been very good, since there are large households that can subsidize more, then subsidize more, so as not to make the brothers suffer for the sake of the so-called face.
Besides, Luo Chu knew that he had received Mi Zhu's gift, and Mi Zhu had to thank himself for giving him this face, and sure enough, after seeing Luo Chu let the daring warrior accept all the orders, the smile on Mi Zhu's face became more sincere, and he couldn't stop thanking him for his help before.
The two sides separated, looked at Mi Zhu, who was speeding away, and laughed: "It's worth coming out this time!
Now I only wait for Gongzi Chu to come to Xuzhou, if I can succeed, my Mi clan will be completely outstanding, not inferior to those families of the Chen family in Xuzhou."
Xuzhou Chen's?
The words that came out of Mi Zhu's mouth made his subordinates a little surprised, but if you think about it carefully, it is true, since ancient times, those who can have a relationship with Luo's have great wealth.
Although this kind of wealth does not come as quickly as it has a relationship with the royal family, it is so prominent, and it can even crown the world in just a few years.
But after several summers, the wealth that Luo's can bring is already the only one under the royal family.
In fact, in Mi Zhu's heart, he couldn't help but think of Lanling Xiao and Huaiyin Han in Xuzhou, if the family can take advantage of it
Shangluo's transformation into a scholarly family, reinvestment success, and becoming a founding meritorious service, that is the real prominence.
After Luo Chu and Mi Zhu separated, they passed through Yanzhou all the way, and the bandits and bandits of all sizes along the way were basically unwilling to touch him and the brave soldiers.
If it weren't for the protection of the horses, the 600-mile journey would have been reached quickly, and even if it was stop-and-go, their speed could be called lightning.
As more and more familiar scenery appeared in front of him, one by one the farmland belonging to the Yinghou Kingdom appeared in front of him, and he followed the straight road until the end of the line of sight.
Luo Chu knew he was back!
He rode to the end of his sight, and then he saw a high city, and a group of people were waiting for him on horseback.
