The morning light sprinkles, and the dazzling glow is engraved on every mottled monument on the city wall of Zhaocheng, and time flies and has not changed.

The clear light passed through the city gates, through the city walls, skimmed through the neat streets, stepped into the Luo Palace, and finally shone on Luo Zhang's body.

He was dressed in a dark robe, deep and quiet, with a trace of white hair between his temples, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and kneeling under the weeping willows, with yellowed willow leaves on the table.

The prosperity of midsummer is over, and it is the late autumn of the year.

Luo Shu sat quietly opposite Luo Zhang, poured a glass of warm wine, and said softly, "Father."

The family had a caravan returning to Kanto from the Western Regions, carrying goods worth 50 million, and was intercepted and killed by horse bandits when they entered Guanzhong.

Three hundred and seventy-two people, none of them were spared. ”

Luo Zhang's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light, but he asked calmly on his face, "Is there a clue?" ”

Luo Shu said coldly: "There have been several major chaos in Guanzhong, and the local scholars are still in exile, not to mention the family, and now the shadows in Guanzhong are basically lost.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Dao, and Guo Yan did not admit that they did it, but judging from their sons, the biggest possibility is Li Dao Guo Yan.

These two men are short-sighted, tyrannical in nature, and have no reverence in their hearts.

A merchant group of more than 300 people, except for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, ordinary horse bandits can't do it.

Although wealth is moving, it also depends on whether there is a life flower.

Unexpectedly, the lust for profit was so strong that he hit the idea on my Luo's head, and I was really looking for death! ”

Luo Chang was silent for a moment, twisted a willow leaf in his hand, and said: "Ah Shu, take someone to Guanzhong to worship the ancestors, and by the way, find out who did it, there is no impermeable wall in the world, even if it is a dead man, there are always clues." ”

Luo Shu frowned slightly and said: "Father, if there is chaos today, the melee of the princes is about to end, and they are each named Hanchen according to their place, which is almost a country.

It is not easy to lead a large army across the border, even if it is a passing by Luo, it must be cross-examined, and the armor may not be carried with you. ”

Checking is not a problem, but not being able to wear armor is too dangerous, and it is simply putting your life in the hands of others.

Hearing this, Luo Zhang rubbed the wine glass in his hand, and then muttered: "The relationship between the family and Cao Cao is not familiar enough, and it will be very troublesome to go through Hangu Pass in Henan County."

Pass through Hanoi County, transfer to Ha Dong County, and then cross the river into Guanzhong.

The only thing to worry about is the attitude of the Xiliang princes, if it is really Li Dao Guo Yan's doing, in case the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry.

No matter how strong the warrior is, he is not the opponent of the tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of Li Dao Guo Yan. ”

Luo Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Father, do you want to transfer the Temple Army back?" If there is a temple army and a dare warrior, the family can crisscross the pass! ”

"No!"

Luo Zhang stared at Luo Shu tightly and said in a deep voice: "Ah Shu, you remember, it will be the same if you become the head of the family in the future."

As long as the Western Regions are unified, don't mobilize the Temple Army.

This is the family's hole card, and no one must be allowed to know that the Temple Army is under the control of Luo's.

Otherwise, any ruler of the Western Regions, even a great man like the King of Zhongxia, would definitely not leave such a terrifying army in his heartland! ”

Luo Shu's expression was grim, he had been in the Central Plains for a long time, and he had become somewhat accustomed to the armed forces of Zhaocheng.

But even in Zhaocheng, the Han court not only built countries around Zhaocheng, but also imposed strict restrictions on the occasions when the daring warriors appeared.

Do you just do nothing?

Luo Shu can't accept it!

There was a thick flame in his eyes, in his generation, Luo Xiao was like a star in the sky, and he was like a flame burning all the time at the same time!

Strong and brave!

When he was in Luoyang, if Dong Zhuo had a slight misdeed, he would have struck hard!

Hearing what his father said at this moment, Luo Shu's brows tightened, and then he suddenly dispersed, and said in a cold voice: "Father."

Li Dao and Guo Yan are now acting recklessly in the land of Guanzhong, and they have no talent to govern one side.

The princes are all vying for the ownership of the Central Plains.

No one wants to crusade against Li Dao Guo Yan now, just waiting for Li Dao Guo Yan to bring about his own destruction, why not let Li Dao Guo Yan be free in Chang'an? ”

Luo Zhang raised his eyes to look at Luo Shu, and then asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Luo Shu said sharply: "Either let the princes of the Central Plains go west, or let the princes of the Western Regions of Liangzhou go east, there is no other way."

Previously, Mr. Wenhe explained to his son the situation after the war.

It is Cao Cao who can wave the army to the west, and it is Ma Teng Han Sui who can wave the army to the east, and there is still a big war to fight in the Central Plains, and Cao Cao will wave the army to the west after worrying about the east and the north.

Ma Teng and Han Sui are both warlords of Liangzhou, short-sighted, although they accepted the reward of Li Dao Guo Yan, but there will be no pressure to betray.

It is absolutely impossible for these four people to be safe, in this case, the son will go back today to find Mr. Wenhe to ask for advice.

When the chaos in Guanzhong rises a little, his son will be like this, how can people like Li Dao Guo Yan be defiled in the place where King Su sleeps! ”

After hearing this, Luo Zhang thought for a while, then nodded slowly and agreed with Luo Shu's approach.

Seeing this, Luo Shu saluted Luo Zhang, then left the Luo Palace, and began to prepare for going to Guanzhong.

On this way to Guanzhong, you have to cross a considerable distance, all the way to the march, entering Guanzhong may have entered the winter, warm clothes must be prepared.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and as time goes by, the news that Luo's has a fairly large caravan intercepted and killed in Guanzhong comes to Kanto.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the world were on Zhaocheng, what would Luo's do?

Three thousand warriors rode tens of thousands of horses and galloped all the way from Zhaocheng to Hanoi County, and the two princes closest to Zhaocheng, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, knew that this was Luo's response.

The two were arranged at the checkpoint from Hanoi to Hedong and were immediately released.

Luo Shu led the dare warriors to garrison in Hedong County, looking at Guanzhong from a distance across the river, and he was waiting here.

Yuan Shao was attacking Youzhou, Gongsun Zan was decadent and drunk, Cao Cao was negotiating with Yuan Shao about Qingzhou, and Liu Bei was busy preparing Xuzhou.

The third autumn rain of this year fell tricklingly, from the Yanguo Kingdom in Liaodong to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, and the entire north of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, it was cold all of a sudden, and the chill hit people.

……

In the middle of Zhaocheng.

Jia Xu sat in the room, and during these days in Zhaocheng, he seemed more and more kind.

wrapped the leather jacket on his body, shook the feather fan gently, and said to Luo Zhang with a slight smile: "Grand Duke, calculate the time, Ma Tenghan is going to make a move on Li Dao Guo Yan, and the opportunity for Gongzi Shu is about to come." ”

Jia Xu calculated that he had almost Dao Luo Zhang's teachings too much, and he didn't ask the reason when he heard the words, he just took a sip of warm wine and squinted slightly.

Jia Xu felt that these days were too comfortable, and he felt that he should do more things, and his eyes rolled and said: "Grand Duke, when there are more than a dozen princes today, there are those who you think will be unfavorable to the Luo family, and in this chaotic world, you may be able to do something." ”

Luo Zhang glanced at Jia Xu when he heard this, Jia Xu's so-called things to do, it can't be said to be a big war for days, such as what is about to happen in Guanzhong now.

Luo Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "Wen He, don't worry, let the situation develop and develop, although the war in the world is a little stable, it is in constant shock."

The princes have not yet entered a stable period, and the general trend is unclear! ”

……

The Luo's caravan was intercepted and killed at the junction of Sizhou and Liangzhou, which was a rather shocking thing for the large and small princes of Guanzhong and Xiliang.

It would be too hypocritical to say that anyone does not covet the Luo's caravan, after all, the wealth is moving, and robbing the Luo's caravan once can make them double their strength in an instant, but most of the small princes dare not think about the Luo's caravan.

The first suspicion of these small princes is the four princes of Guanzhong Liangzhou.

Because only these four people are strong, and they are far away from the Luo's Tiangao Emperor, and there are several princes' territories in between, they dare to do such a thing.

Liangzhou.

A secret news spread to Ma Teng and Han Sui through the spies.

Li Dao and Guo Yan found evidence that the two of them had intercepted Luo's caravan and wanted to hand it over to Luo's in order to save their precarious and discredited reputation.

At this moment, Ma Teng and Han Sui were angry.

Ma Teng invited Han Sui to meet in Guzang, and as soon as they met, he said angrily: "Wenyue, do you know what Li Dao Guo Yan has done?" ”

Han Sui was shocked: "Brother Shoucheng has also found out?"

My spy has sent news that Li Dao Guo Yan wants to frame the two of us, and it is said that he is ready to completely detain the two of us in the name of the emperor! ”

Hearing that Han Sui also got the news, Ma Teng's suspicions disappeared in an instant, one person's secret agent may make a mistake, and the probability of two people's secret agents making a mistake at the same time is almost zero!

Ma Teng took a deep breath and said, "Brother Wen Yue, do you remember Mr. Wen He?" ”

When Han Sui heard this, the image of a generous elder appeared in his mind, and he had always been kind and resourceful to himself, the warriors of the border counties, and before leaving Liangzhou, he asked the two of them to take care of the Jia family.

He nodded, and only heard Ma Teng say: "At the beginning, Mr. Wenhe left Liangzhou with Wushuang Hou Luokong, and now he is in Zhaocheng, doing things for the Luo family.

Mr. Wenhe said that Gongzishu and the warriors stationed in Hedong County were indeed here for the caravan.

Moreover, Luo's could not find any evidence, and prepared to bloody the princes of Liangzhou in Guanzhong, the small princes were exterminated, and the big princes were assassinated.

Luo's is bloodless this time, and he vows not to give up.

Mr. Wenhe thanked the two of us for taking care of Jia's family, and there was special news.

He believed that the two of us would not do this, and he suspected that Li Dao Guo Yan had done it.

If we can search for evidence before Li Dao Guo Yan frames it, and even directly kill it and dedicate it to Gongzishu, that is the grand way.

Covenant.

Mr. Wenhe said that Luo's is a thousand-year-old family, and it can survive until now, so let the two of us think about it.

I've been muttering in my heart, yes, what I'm saying is that there is no trick to say about the thousand-year-old family! ”

Kill Li Dao Guo Yan?!

Han Sui was shocked, he accepted the canonization of the two at the beginning, it was because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of Li Dao Guo Yan was better than the two of them, otherwise who would be willing to bow his head.

This is Jia Xu's cleverness, Ma Teng is heroic, and Han Sui is more resourceful, so Jia Xu used Ma Teng to inform Han Sui.

Han Sui groaned, and now it is like an arrow on the string, and he has to make a decision no matter what.

As the princes of Liangzhou and the warriors of the border counties, the last thing Han Sui lacks is the ability to make decisions, but after a little thought, he said with a glittering gaze: "Brother Shoucheng, what Mr. Wenhe said is right, when the troops were sent to Guanzhong, they had long seen that Li Dao and Guo Yan were dissatisfied.

Holding the little emperor in his hand, he really thought that he was orthodox, and dared to give orders to the two of us, which was ridiculous and hateful!

immediately summoned the generals, and called on the princes of the world to crusade against them in the name of Li Dao Guo Yan holding the emperor hostage and mutilating the common people.

I look at this Kansai land, and there are countless people who are dissatisfied with Li Dao and Guo Yan! ”

"Good!"

Ma Teng and Han Sui hit it off, and immediately raised the banner of rebellion in the counties of Liangzhou against Li Dao Guo Yan.

……

Changan.

It was indeed Li Dao Guo Yan who intercepted the Luo's caravan, the reason was very simple, they had no money, and the Luo's caravan was too rich.

Li Dao and Guo Yan are all warriors who have no ability to govern, and they have been killing in Chang'an before, and the former noble Guan Sergeant clan has destroyed the family and destroyed the family, and those who did not die are in exile.

Pay equal attention to civil and military, the world is Xian'an!

But if you have to choose one, whether you want to admit it or not, for a regime, literature is more important than martial arts, Li Dao Guo Yan is so poor that the people can't even afford to eat, so naturally they don't have money to collect it.

So the bold Li Dao Guo Yan set his sights on the Luo's caravan.

But after doing it, Li Dao Guo Yan began to regret it, and couldn't help but recall what Dong Zhuo looked like when he died.

The people who did this were the real henchmen of the two at the beginning, and these people didn't care about any Luo's at all, and the butcher's knife was wielded faster than anything else.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan regretted it, they got together and swore that they would never tell the matter to outsiders.

The news of Luo's cantonment in Hedong naturally reached Chang'an, Li Wei was both panicked and comforted himself, but there were only 3,000 people, and he had tens of thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen in his hands, so he was not afraid!

He walked through the cloister when he suddenly heard a servant whispering, "Have you heard?" The Naluo caravan was slaughtered by the master. ”

instantly caused a small exclamation, "Where did you get the news, you can't talk nonsense, didn't the Luo's caravan die in Liangzhou?"

That's Ma Teng Hansui's territory. ”

The servant from before whispered: "Last time I went shopping on the street, I heard with my own ears what the servants in General Guo's mansion said, I know all those people, and there will be no mistake.

What is the relationship between General Guo and the master, you won't know it, this news is absolutely true! ”

"Hiss~"

A gasp sounded.

When a few people left, Li Wei walked out of the shadows, his face was full of coldness, and he looked in the direction where Guo Yan's mansion was located, with murderous intent!

————

After coercing the emperor to go to Chang'an, Li Dao Guo Yan was a general and a liege, all of whom held the festival and thought they had gained, but they were the rich and poor people in Chang'an, and they left nothing behind. ”

Zhao Gong was angry and said: "The public family is mourning, and it is returned with blood!" ——"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Dong Zhuo Xiliang"
