Wu Zhao made up the surname Wu because she suddenly thought of her own experience of being without a father, a mother, a husband and no children.
When Yuan Xi heard her say her name, she thought, so she called this girl Wu Zhao?
Although this name sounds ordinary, the woman with the name does not look like an ordinary servant. Maybe she doesn't want to reveal her origin?
However, since the other party saved him, Yuan Xi did not intend to go into details. He remembered that he had something to do in the morning, so he left and said: "My lady, please stay here to recover from your injuries. I will first go and settle the abducted women."
Wu Zhao heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Does the general want to distribute them to his subordinate sergeants?"
At that time, there were wars in the late Han Dynasty, and it was common for women to be kidnapped. Not only foreigners, but also generals of the Han Dynasty would even take action against their own people.
Needless to say, Gongsun Zan, the one who is more famous than Gongsun Zan is Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he sent troops to plunder the people, which was called prison raids. Even when the troops were stationed in Yangcheng, southeast of Luoyang, and the local gods were worshiping, his soldiers actually killed all the men and took away the women and property.
, the cattle and horses returned to Luoyang.
What is particularly outrageous is that they even cut off the man's head and hung it on the shaft of the car, pretending that he was returning from killing a thief.
After the incident was exposed, the government and the public were in an uproar, but due to Dong Zhuo's power, no one dared to speak out. Instead, Cai Wenji left a poem describing the tragic situation at that time in her sad and indignant poems passed down by later generations.
Cut off without any remains, and the corpses support each other.
A man's head hangs beside the horse, and a woman is carried behind the horse.
The reason why Dong Zhuo's army was loyal to him had something to do with his unprincipled ability to bribe soldiers.
In troubled times, soldiers are everything. In comparison, the people are like ants.
This is the origin of Wu Zhao's question.
When Yuan Xi heard Wu Zhao's question, he stopped and said, "That's a good question."
"If they are willing to leave, I will give them a certain amount of money and food and let them go home on their own."
"For those who are willing to stay, I will arrange for them to work in the city to make a living."
"If they feel that it is not enough to live on their own, they can also find a man in the city to marry. Moreover, I will give the soldiers half an extra ration and monthly salary. It will be no problem to save some food and support one more woman."
Wu Zhao was silent after hearing this, but finally couldn't help but said: "It's dangerous to go south, there are many bandits and bandits, how can they dare to leave?"
"If you do this, aren't you still forcing them to get married?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "You can see clearly that this knowledge and conversation are not ordinary. Are you afraid that you are a maidservant of the imperial family?"
Wu Zhao shut up and said nothing.
Yuan Xi sighed: "I am indeed not a good person, and I will not do anything to satisfy everyone."
"You will definitely not be convinced based on my words alone."
"For the sake of saving my life, seeing is believing. If you are willing, come with me and see with your own eyes the situation in this city."
Wu Zhao found that the family in front of him was very different from those he had encountered before.
She has followed her father since she was a child, and has seen many children of celebrities who are either high-spirited, arty, or behave wildly.
And the husband she married was also a son of a famous family. He was well-spoken and had few talents.
Unfortunately, before she married her, her husband was bedridden. After marrying her, he could no longer get out of bed. Wu Zhao could only talk to him every day, hoping that he would get better.
Unfortunately, less than a year later, her husband passed away.
When Wu Zhao was grieving, he felt so unlucky. Was it because he was an unlucky person, or because most of the men in his husband's family died young?
Compared with the gentry children Wu Zhao had met, Yuan Xi in front of him spoke with a patience and calmness that was unmatched by his peers.
Although he was born into a family of four generations and three nobles, it is said that his father Yuan Shao acted in a chivalrous manner when he was young, which was quite absurd. How could he have such a gentle and elegant son?
Moreover, Yuan Xi fought a bloody battle yesterday, but he was full of passion and ambition, and was a little confused for a moment.
Which one is the real him?
She became curious, bit her lip lightly, cupped her hands and said, "Since the general has a life, then I have offended you."
Yuan Xi took Wu Zhao, one behind the other, and walked out the door.
When they were approaching the door, Qu Yi and Dong Zhao had just finished their breakfast and came out of the house, and the four of them met.
Yuan Xi briefly told Qu Yi about Wu Zhao's incident, and said to Ju Yi: "Brother asked Sun Li to find a carriage. Let's go around the city together and go to the annex where the abducted women are housed."
After hearing this, Qu Yi went to call for someone. Dong Zhao wanted to leave when he saw this. When he passed by Wu Zhao, he saw her face was black and red, so he passed her by without paying attention.
When Yuan Xi and Wu Zhao walked away, Dong Zhao suddenly stopped and looked at Wu Zhao's back.
In the past, when he was young, he went to Qingzhou to study, and visited a very famous scholar and scholar at the Taiyang family.
At the home of this great Confucian teacher, Dong Zhao met his daughter who was still in her prime. Why did she look so similar to Wu Zhao?
Although Wu Zhao has a lot of marks on his face, his facial features are too similar!
Dong Zhao was shocked and doubtful. If she really was the daughter of a great scholar, her identity would not be revealed to the public now.
Because that great scholar was from Dong Zhuo’s party!
Dong Zhuo was executed, and Wang Yun liquidated Dong Zhuo's remaining party and killed the great scholar.
Although Wang Yun was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si, the great scholar has not yet overturned the verdict.
Dong Zhao lowered his head and thought, the key to the world from now on still lies in the emperor!
You must think of ways to go to the emperor's side in order to control the general trend of the world!
As for Wu Zhao, if she is really the daughter of an old friend, it would be good to be able to save her life in troubled times. It seems that it would be good to stay with the young master?
He shook his head and went to the back room. Yuan Xi promised to let him bring some ancient books and toys to Luoyang to collect them. Thinking that there might be a lot of good things in them, he suddenly became excited again.
Yuan Xi took Wu Zhao to the door, where Qu Yi was already waiting in a carriage outside.
The two got on the carriage, and there were several soldiers outside the door, pulling a cart of things that smelled of musty and were covered in wet mud.
The leading soldier said a few words to Qu Yi. Qu Yi listened and waved his hand to let the soldiers leave.
While driving the carriage, he turned to Yuan Xi and said, "We were lucky this time. The people we sent out dug up several more cemeteries and got five or six sets of armor."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi looked happy and said: "Yesterday's battle, a lot of armor was damaged. Most of the captured Xiongnu armors are not of much use. Only this kind of noble burial armor is well made and suitable for use by elite soldiers."
When Wu Zhao heard this, he was surprised and said: "General, are you robbing a tomb?"
"This is an ominous thing."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "What I dug are the graves of the Huns nobles."
In Chinese history, the heavy cavalry era began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and lasted until the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Heavy armored cavalry with armored horses and overweight horse-steeds became popular for a while.
At that time, many Hu nobles were buried with Han beauties and armored horses. Just like the Han women Liu Bao kidnapped this time, many of them may have ended up being buried as martyrs.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Xi ran to Youzhou, a place where there were many tombs of Hu people in Youzhou. The burial objects inside were more attractive to him than gold and silver.
Although the leather straps and threads of the armor in the tomb have decayed, the armor pieces are well preserved. With a little processing, the armor can be made again.
This was also the basis for him to secretly build up an armored force after coming to Beixin City for several years.
Putting in effort and harvesting things from the soil, tomb robbing is considered a type of farming, right?
