All the food and grass of the coalition forces were hoarded in Yuan Shu's camp, but Long Fei burned them all. Without food and grass, they lost most of the march and battle. They were defeated one after another, and the morale of the coalition forces plummeted. Yuan Shao had no choice but to put up a no-war card and send Jizhou at the same time.
Mu Hanfu, the prefect of Hanoi Wang Kuang, and the prefects of several nearby states immediately went to collect grain and grass.
Last night, when everyone in Hulao Pass saw the fire in the coalition camp, they were all excited. They used a hanging basket to pull Long Fei up the city wall. Zhang Ji was the first to rush over: "General Long is indeed very capable. He single-handedly defeated their
The food and grass are burned, I admire you!"
Wang Wei said: "What's this? I think a dozen of us almost attacked 5,000 people in a sneak attack!"
"Five thousand people?" Those who have heard about this smiled slightly, and those who have never heard of it naturally find it incredible. Returning to the general's palace in the city, Lu Bu sat on the commander's seat with a dark face, looking at Long Fei coldly.
Fei did not evade, showing a provocative attitude. Zhang Ji hurriedly laughed and said: "The rebels have no food and grass, now we can attack them in a big way and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Li Ru looked at the two men and shook his head slightly, but said nothing more. Lu Bu snorted coldly: "I don't care about the matter of chickens crowing and dogs stealing. Please pass on my military order and close the door tightly. No one is allowed to leave the prison privately. Anyone who violates the order
, cut! You must be upright when fighting!"
In the next three days, there was no movement from the coalition forces, and there was no movement from Hulao Pass. The two sides maintained a unique tacit understanding and were very calm. On the morning of the fourth day, Long Fei was eating, and someone beat the gathering drum.
Fei hurriedly threw down the things in his hands, dressed up and headed to the general's mansion. Lu Bu was looking for something of his own recently, so it was best not to confront him head-on.
After the three-way drum was beaten, Lu Bu sat in command and winked at Li Ru. Li Ru nodded and took out a letter from his arms: "Everyone, this is the letter sent by the Grand Master just now. It specifies
Let me wait until we are all gathered before we can take it apart and take a look!" Li Ru raised the hand for everyone to take a look, then opened the cloth bag, took out a silk handkerchief from it, and read: "Order General Lu Bu of the Zhenjun Army, General Yang Wei, and Long Fei to lead their men to immediately set off back to Luoyang.
, ordered Zhang Ji and Hua Xiong to continue to stay at Hulao Pass, and they can return after half a month!"
"Listen carefully!" Lu Bu glared at Long Fei: "Everyone, go down and get ready! It's time to set off back to Luoyang!"
At first, Long Fei didn't come back to his senses, but he understood after hearing half of it. Dong Zhuo was going to run away! After Long Fei figured this out, he was relieved. After returning, he immediately ordered his troops to prepare to return to Luoyang. But he couldn't come.
Four or five days later, Dian Wei was about to go back without even fighting a real big battle. While packing his things, Dian Wei kept mumbling: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have come. I went back before even fighting, and everyone ran away!"
For Dian Wei, this made him unhappy, and for the soldiers, saving them from going to the battlefield meant saving their lives from danger, so they ran very fast one by one. The planned journey took two days, and they arrived in one and a half days. No
There was no welcoming crowd during the triumphal ceremony. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by people. They asked them to take the soldiers back to the barracks and then go to see Dong Zhuo.
As Long Fei expected, Luoyang has reached a period of tension. Every shop is closed and pedestrians are in a hurry. The soldiers are driving the people of Luoyang towards the west gate. The originally prosperous Luoyang has become depressed. Dong Zhuo wants to evacuate the entire Luoyang.
.Outside the palace gate, Li Su was waiting for them. When he saw their horses coming, he immediately came up to meet them: "Hurry up, my father-in-law is waiting impatiently!"
The palace was also in chaos. The maids and eunuchs were running around, soldiers were killing one by one, and corpses were thrown in the yard, including some low-level concubines. Li Su led them into the palace of Emperor Liu Xie
.Dong Zhuo sat high on the dragon couch, Liu Xie stood timidly beside him, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Cai Yong and other ministers stood around.
"I have sent Li Jue and Guo Si to Chang'an and are cleaning up the palace, so there is no need to discuss the matter of moving the capital anymore. You just need to do your own thing!" Dong Zhuo looked at the old ministers of the Han Dynasty and felt angry in his heart.
.Since the proposal to move the capital, these old guys have been admonishing in front of me every day. They are annoying to death, but they can't kill them.
Cai Yong was about to speak when Li Su came in with Lu Bu, Long Fei and Li Ru. Dong Zhuo quickly brought the conversation to the battle at Hulao Pass: "Very good, I heard that you fought well at Hulao Pass. In just a short time,
In four or five days, we defeated the rebels three times in a row and burned their food and grass, which is great!"
"Thank you, Master, for the compliment!"
Dong Zhuo nodded slightly: "I have another mission to transfer you back this time!" Li Su hurriedly took two bamboo slips from the small table next to him and handed them to Lu Bu and Long Fei respectively. Dong Zhuo continued: "From today on, you will each
Just lead your people and do what is said above, and there is no need to ask about the rest. If you do these things well, I will be heavily rewarded!"
"promise!"
It wasn't until they walked out of the palace that Lu Bu and Long Fei turned over the bamboo slips in their hands. Lu Bu shuddered and hurriedly put the bamboo slips away. Long Fei said with a smile: "Is there anything else in the world that can make Wen Wen
Are you so scared?"
Lu Bu rolled his eyes. Long Fei handed over his bamboo slip: "I don't know the characters, can you help me see what it says?"
Lu Bu smiled bitterly, since he agreed to what Long Fei asked for. After reading it, he returned the bamboo slips to Long Fei: "Your job is not bad. I asked you to confiscate all the property of all the wealthy households and officials in Luoyang and transport it to Chang'an!"
"Oh! Thank you Marquis Wen!" Long Fei put the bamboo slips in his hands and said with a smile: "Then what is Marquis Wen? From what the Grand Master said, there shouldn't be any more missions?"
"Ha!" Lu Bu was so angry that he looked around and said in a low voice: "Let me dig up the imperial tomb!"
"Ah! Stealing excavations..." Lu Bu covered his mouth before the next words came out. After a while, Lu Bu let go of Long Fei. Long Fei also looked around: "It is a capital crime to dig up graves."
, robbing the imperial tomb will result in everyone being executed, and if those historians find out, it will be infamy for thousands of years! You must not do this!"
Lu Bu shook his head: "How can you not do what your adoptive father sent you?"
"Marquis Wen, you have to think clearly. Although it was ordered by the Grand Master, it was you who did it. Sooner or later, the whole world will know about this matter. When the time comes, everyone will despise it, and Marquis Wen's reputation will be destroyed in one day!" Long Fei!
Patting Lu Bu on the shoulder: "How about this! I take out some of the rich businessman's belongings, treat them as unearthed, and do the work for you?"
Lu Bu still shook his head: "The items in the imperial mausoleum are all priceless treasures. How many rich merchants can compare with the royal family? This must be done! However, I still thank General Long for his kindness."
"Hey!" Long Fei sighed: "Marquis Wen, please respect yourself! Farewell!"
Returning to the West Garden, Jia Xu and others all gathered together. Long Fei explained the tasks assigned to him by Dong Zhuo. Wang Wei smiled and said: "Good thing, good thing, in this way, we can make another fortune!"
Long Fei smiled: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you and my second brother. Remember not to hurt anyone if you have no choice!"
After sending away those "making trouble" guys, only Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Gao Shun were left in the room. Long Fei then lowered his voice and told the story about Dong Zhuo sending Lu Bu to rob the imperial tomb.
Startled, Xu Shu immediately stood up: "Dong Zhuo is so rebellious and can do such unscrupulous things, he should be killed!"
"Don't be impatient!" Jia Xu motioned Xu Shu to sit down and asked Long Fei, "What's Lu Bu's attitude?"
"I once proposed to replace the stability of the imperial mausoleum with something else, but after thinking about it, the treasures in the imperial mausoleum are rare in the world and cannot be exchanged at all!" Long Fei now sympathized with Lu Bu and sighed: "Lu Bu is also helpless.
, we can only do as Dong Zhuo said!"
"Yes! There is nothing we can do about this matter!" Jia Xu nodded: "We can only place our hope in the spirits of the deceased emperors and concubines of the Han Dynasty."
Long Fei rolled his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Wen He's words just reminded me that I have a way!" Long Fei waved and called a few people in front of him, laughing while talking, and several people listened.
Even then, his face was full of joy. Xu Shu slapped his thigh: "What a great idea. I will contact the leaders of Mubu and ask them to cooperate!"
That night, Long Fei and a dozen people quietly visited the imperial mausoleum. The imperial mausoleum of the Eastern Han Dynasty is located 17 kilometers east of today's Luoyang City, at the intersection of Mengjin and Yanshi. The fourteen emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, except for the last emperor Han Xiandi Liu
The Xie Dynasty did not build a mausoleum. Beixiang Hou Liu Yi died early and the young emperor Liu Bian was deposed by Dong Zhuo without building a mausoleum. The other eleven emperors were buried in the two major mausoleums in the southeast and northeast of Luoyang City.
Among them, the southeastern mausoleum area includes the Xianjie Mausoleum of Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang, the Jing Mausoleum of Han Emperor Zhang Liu Da, the Shen Mausoleum of Han He Emperor Liu Zhao, the Kangling Mausoleum of Han Shang Emperor Liu Long, and the Jingling Mausoleum of Han Zhi Emperor Liu Zan.
The Xuanling Mausoleum of Han Emperor Huan Liu Zhi. The northeastern mausoleum area includes the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the Gongling Mausoleum of Emperor An Liu Hu, the Xianling Mausoleum of Emperor Shun Liu Bao, the Huailing Mausoleum of Emperor Chong Liu Bing, and the Wen Mausoleum of Emperor Ling Liu Hong.
.
The mausoleum area is located on Beiman Mountain. It is surrounded by the gentle Mang Mountain to the south, the undulating Taihang Mountains to the north, and the rolling Yellow River roaring eastward along the north side of the mausoleum. The scenery here is beautiful and it is a striking place of beauty. According to history
According to the data, the underground palaces of each emperor's mausoleum are also extremely luxurious. They are painted with the sun, moon, birds, turtles, dragons, tigers, connected walls, and the moon in imaginary words. There are all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, famous utensils and antiques.
The tomb of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, is located in the northern part of the cemetery, facing south, and is sealed as a mausoleum. The tomb is shaded by pines and cypresses. There is a dome-shaped monument in front of the mausoleum, and the body of the monument is engraved with "The mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu, the founder of Zhongxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty". Among them, "
The four characters "Zhongxing Shizu" are particularly bright. Legend has it that in the past, common people would come here to touch the monument to find good luck and ask questions: if a person walks ten steps away from the monument, with his hands stretched out and eyes closed, it is a good omen if he can touch these four characters. From the tomb to the door
There is a Shinto in Quexiu. On both sides of the Shinto, there are stone elephants, stone horses and other stone carvings as well as neat and lush cypress trees. Among them are twenty-eight towering cypress trees, which the local people call "Twenty-Eight Stays", symbolizing those who followed Liu Xiu in the Southern and Northern Wars.
The "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai" who have made great military exploits.
After looking at the terrain and mountains, Long Fei waved his hand: "It's right here! Lu Bu wants to dig the imperial tomb, and this one must be the first one! Do it!"
