The one who is in the sun, the capital of the Son of Heaven, is also a rich and noble place in the world.

In the past, Liu Bei also had a long time with Yuan Shu and others, and he was very happy.

At that time, walking in the city of Luoyang, there was a sense of wealth and nobility, and even Gongsun Zhan, who was proud of himself, was ashamed of himself when he entered this Xiongcheng.

It's just that after many years, after the death of He Jin and then the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the originally magnificent Luoyang City is now like a purgatory standing in the world.

Liu Bei rode on horseback and sighed in his heart.

What they did was not bad, but when they saw the miserable scene now, they always felt that they should have done better.

It is not calm in Luoyang City, but there are Xu Rongshi and others in the internal response, and Jia Xu and others are sitting outside, and it is only a matter of time before they settle down.

Liu Bei rode his horse and walked in Luoyang City, feeling emotion in his heart.

In the past, Xiongcheng has now fallen to such a field.

Zhang Fei took the light horse into the city to help Xu Rong and others.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu to walk slowly in the city and went straight to the east of Luoyang City.

The sun is huge, and the scenery of the east, west, north and south is enough to compare with many small cities in the world. Liu Bei and others were in Luoyang City back then, and most of them were mixed in the Dongcheng area, so they were very familiar with this place.

Even if he hadn't set foot here for many years, he could still take Guan Yu straight to the wine house in Luoyang back then.

The wine house had already moved west before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and the building was empty and abandoned for many days.

Liu Bei and the others turned over and dismounted, pushed the door and entered.

Cobwebs hung between the walls and beams, and the ground was covered with a thick pile of dust.

Liu Bei stood in it, just stomped his feet slightly, and the dust in the house was flying.

He first raised his hand to disperse the dust floating in the air, and then led Guan Yu to the backyard.

There is a tall mulberry tree in the backyard, with a lush crown and dense foliage, which is quite mocking compared to the withering population in Luoyang City today.

Liu Bei came to the tree, first circled around the tree a few times, then looked left and right, stood in one place, took out the knife at his waist, squatted down and began to dig.

After a few moments, he stood up with an extra jar of wine in his hand.

This wine was buried by Liu Bei himself when they left Luoyang, when he buried several altars with his own hands, but now there are only two altars left.

He carried one of the altars and returned to the front yard with Guan Yu.

The two came to a wooden table, Liu Bei wiped the soil on it casually, and sat down casually.

Guan Yu sat across from him.

Liu Bei slapped the soil on the wine jar in his hand, opened the mud seal, and poured a bowl for himself and Guan Yu.

[In view of the general environment,

He took a sip of the wine, the taste was spicy, but after entering the stomach, it made people suddenly arrogant.

In the years since he left Luoyang, his daughter Hong has actually never drunk less, but the wine in Luoyang City tastes different.

After drinking a bowl of wine, he raised his hand and patted the wooden table in front of him, and said with a smile: "We used to drink here when we were in Luoyang, and now the wine house is still there, and the wine table is still there. It's just that the old man who drank alcohol back then can't make it up again."

The deceased who drank here in the past, Fu Xie is dead, Han Yue rebelled, and the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao also had their own needs.

Guan Yu also took a big sip of wine, his face flushed slightly, "In the past, the old people were human beings, even if they are existing now, if they have the opportunity to sit here again, they are afraid that they don't want to drink with their brothers."

Liu Bei nodded, and poured another bowl of wine for Guan Yu and himself.

He spoke softly, "On the road of life, there are always some people who are drifting away."

…………

At sunset, the city gradually quieted down.

In Dong Zhuo's Xiangguo Mansion, Liu Bei stood against the railing, looking at the scenery in the garden.

There are many rich and noble homes in Luoyang City, and there are many pavilions and beautiful scenery in the courtyard, but they are as outstanding as this Xiangguo Mansion.

I'm afraid there will be no more.

Liu Bei looked away and laughed softly, "Dong Zhongying will choose a place to live. The pavilions and pavilions here, the scenery of mountains and rivers, I am afraid that even the palace can not be compared. It's a pity that in the end, everyone rebelled and left, and they went west in a hurry."

Jia Xu, who was standing behind him, took a few steps forward and also looked up, "Dong Zhuo's defeat is certainly tyrannical, but if you think about it, retreating to Liangzhou is actually his inevitable end. Even if he compromises, how can the Minister of Manchu let him be the master of the house as a martial artist from the border?"

Liu Bei turned his head and glanced at him, "Wen He has something to say?"

Without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, he smiled to himself, "How could I not be like this now."

Jia Xu nodded, "It's best if the lord can figure this out. Now that we are waiting to enter Luoyang first, I am afraid that the Kwantung Coalition Army in the east will soon arrive. When the time comes, the lord still has to think carefully about how to deal with it."

Liu Bei was speechless, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, "Since ancient times, it has often been said that the beauty town is a hero's mound. Isn't this Ruoyang City a hero's tomb? first buried Nanyang He Jin, and then buried Liangzhou Dong Zhuo. Wenhe, who do you think will be next?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "If the lord can think like this, it will definitely not be Liu Xuande of Youzhou."

Liu Bei laughed.

At this time, a man wearing armor and stomach entered from outside, and this person came straight to Liu Bei.

The person who came was Xu Rong, who assassinated Hu Zhen.

It was precisely because he assassinated Hu Zhen that Guan Yu and the others could stabilize the situation in Luoyang so quickly.

At that time, Hu Zhen saw with his own eyes that the old man with half of his beard and half of his hair had killed dozens of his guards with his hands, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe that there was such a martial artist in the world.

And the price of seeing this with his own eyes was his life.

At that time, when death was on the verge of death, he stared at Xu Rong deadly, and many things that he had ignored and had not thought about before suddenly swept into his heart, and he figured out the key to it.

Why was Xu Rong able to repel the Qingzhou army repeatedly, and why was he able to meet the man in green clothes and long hair without incident.

Xu Rong's military strategy is indeed not bad, but more importantly, he and those Qingzhou people are a nest of snakes and rats!

When he died, he did not blink an eye.

In Xiangguo's mansion, Liu Bei hurriedly took a few steps forward and held Xu Rong's arm, "Zihou came at the right time. This time, thanks to Zihou's help, otherwise if you want to take this Luoyang City, I don't know how many people and horses will die."

Such a strong city, unless it is broken from the inside, can only be a way to pile up human lives.

Xu Rong smiled, "The lord doesn't need to worry, Rong is willing to do this."

It turned out that since Liu Bei entered Qingzhou, Jia Xu had already begun to prepare for this matter.

Naturally, no matter how resourceful Jia Xu is, he can't count it as today.

His plan at that time was just to plant a seed by Dong Zhuo's side.

Xu Rong, who had never appeared beside Liu Bei and had an old relationship with Hu Zhen, was naturally looked at by Jia Xu.

And then Xu Rong also responded to this matter, which led to today's ambush situation.

Liu Bei glanced behind him, but he only saw Shi A behind Xu Rong, and never saw Tong Yuan.

"Why isn't the child teacher here?"

Xu Rong smiled bitterly, "Master Tong helped me to kill Hu Zhen and then left, saying that this time I didn't make a move for wealth, but Dong Zhuo's actions he really couldn't see it, so he had to make a move."

Liu Bei just smiled when he heard this, "Leave your clothes and go, and don't leave your body and name." It's a heroic style."

…………

Inside the Tiger Prison Pass east of Luoyang.

Since Zhang Ji surrendered to Cheng and the coalition troops were stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, they have placed wine in the big tent all day long, and they have not wanted to take the opportunity to march into Luoyang.

In Zhang Ji's tent, Zhang Xiuzheng was pacing back and forth in the tent indignantly.

"These princes' coalition is really a group of wine bags and rice bags, they don't take advantage of such a good time to take Luoyang directly, but they are here all day long, no wonder Dong Zhuo was allowed to take Luoyang directly from the west, but thousands of Liangzhou cavalry took control of the imperial court!"

Zhang Xiu's anger in her heart still didn't stop, and she kicked over the table in front of her.

Zhang Ji, who had been sitting still, only shook his head when he saw his nephew like this, "Your martial arts are not bad, but you are still a little worse in terms of career experience."

He first glanced at the tent door a few times, and saw that there was no one at the tent door, and then he spoke, "Do you think that these princes really want to support the Han family under the guise of supporting the Han family? Naive!"

"The so-called Kuang Fu Han family is just a name for righteousness, and what they really want is nothing more than wanting to become the next Dong Xiangguo."

"Then why did Yuan Benchu firmly hold the position of alliance leader? Then why didn't Yuan Highway stay here, but go south with Sun Jian?"

"Instead, they are afraid that they will really win the battle against Xiangguo."

Zhang Xiu suddenly realized, but then he was a little confused.

Although his uncle was much older than him, he was also a martial artist in Liangzhou, and these words did not seem to come out of his mouth.

Zhang Ji saw his thoughts, and threw a slap at him, which was easily flashed by Zhang Xiu.

"Of course, I didn't come up with this. It's just that when I was idle in Luoyang City, I heard him mention it when I was drinking with the military advisor. In fact, now it seems that the original method of the military advisor is still very right. If it weren't for the defeat of Hua Xiong and the others in the south, the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass would have to retreat, and as long as they survive for a few more days, these princes' coalition forces would inevitably retreat."

Zhang Xiu nodded when he heard this, now that they were in the coalition army, they could naturally detect this.

Zhang Ji sighed, "It's a pity that there is no if in this world after all, otherwise why would you and I send someone to the fence now."

Although their life in the coalition is not bad now, they are under the fence in the end.

Zhang Ji sighed, "I don't know when I will be able to return to Luoyang one day."

…………

In the main tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was also worried, he looked up at Cao Cao, who had just put down the spy report, and said with a wry smile: "Ah Pu, what do you think?"

There is only one thing that the spy report says, and that is that now Luoyang has changed hands.

Cao Cao also raised his head and smiled bitterly, "I never thought that Xuande would take down Luoyang so easily, it's really ...... Surprised."

They are here, but in fact, their thoughts are indeed no different from what Li Ru guessed. If they had marched quickly before and blocked Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City, would they attack or not?

If they turn back like this, they will inevitably lose the banner of righteousness they have been holding high.

But if they don't turn back and continue to attack the city, what if they really capture Luoyang, kill Dong Zhuo, and get a son of the Han family for nothing?

Do they admit it or not?

At least Yuan Shao didn't plan to admit it, he already had the heart to set up another son of heaven.

It's just that the princes are on his side, and he doesn't want to admit it, but among these many princes, there are also Kong Rong, the "loyal ministers of the Han family".

Thinking of this, even if Yuan Shao was originally full of sorrow, he couldn't help laughing out loud at this time.

These so-called loyal ministers of the Han family, on weekdays, talk about misleading the country above the court, bind the emperor with words, and think that everything they do is the most in line with the Confucian road.

It's just that once the country is ruined, the first to bow down and dare not say anything more are often these so-called loyal ministers.

Naturally, some people are really not afraid of death, they have nothing to do and talk about their hearts, and they will repay the king if they die, which is nothing more than death. can also leave a name for thousands of years, in the eyes of these people, it is naturally worth it.

It's just that in his Yuan Benchu's opinion, this second type of person is actually more hateful.

Cao Cao saw him laughing, knowing that he had thought of something else, and said helplessly: "At the beginning, the biggest thing now is the matter of Luoyang."

Yuan Shao retracted his thoughts when he heard this, and nodded, "Now that Liu Bei has entered Luoyang, what else can we do?" Naturally, he can only enter Luoyang first and see what he Liu Xuande plans to do."

Cao Cao groaned slightly, and said, "If you change someone else, and now you occupy Luoyang, I'm afraid that you won't leave easily. But according to my understanding of this person, a city of Luoyang, I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep this person."

Yuan Shao hit

He glanced at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Yes, Luoyang City is a gentle township, and it sleeps ordinary people, but it can't trap real heroes."

He raised his eyes and stared at Cao Cao, as if smiling, "I can't trap him Liu Xuande, and I guess I can't trap you Cao Mengde."

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Is it just trapping you Yuan Benchu?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

………………

Since the news of Liu Bei's occupation of Luoyang reached the Tiger Prison, the coalition of princes who had been patrolling in the Tiger Prison Pass began to rush to Luoyang.

However, in a short period of time, the coalition army came to the city, and Liu Bei led Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, who had arrived from the south first, out of the city to meet them.

After everyone saw each other, it was naturally a greeting, and then Liu Bei and others led everyone into Luoyang.

Most of the princes present were big people from good backgrounds, even if they didn't live in Luoyang for a long time when they were young, they at least stayed in Luoyang for a while.

Who would have thought that the first city under the feet of the Son of Heaven in the past would become what it is now.

When everyone entered from the east gate, they naturally had to pass by the streets where the officials' mansions were clustered.

In the past, the common people in the city could only look up, and did not even dare to set foot in half a step, but now they have been repeatedly killed by war, and most of them have been destroyed in the flames.

The broken bricks and tiles can only barely see some of the appearance of the year.

As for the hundreds of officials and ministers living in it, most of them were taken west by Dong Zhuo.

Most of the rest died in the natural and man-made disasters that followed.

The princes all stopped here, each thinking about it.

Liu Bei also looked at this rich alley in the past, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Tianjie stepped on the bones of the minister, and the inner library was burned into splendid ashes.

There will be today, but it is just self-satisfaction and self-suffering.
