Zhang Liao asked in surprise: "Have you already divided your troops and gone to Luoyang?"
Liu Xin had already walked to him, held his hand and said: "Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, I know you are a good man, but I just said that I can wait, but the people of Luoyang can't wait. In this way, I won't force you now.
Whatever you promise, come with me to Luoyang to see it first, and then make other plans."
Before Zhang Liao could react, Liu Xin had already waved to the soldiers to bring an ownerless war horse, and said: "Get on the horse, it's important to hurry up, let's talk as we walk."
Just now when Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong were fighting fiercely, Liu Xin had asked Xu Huang and Wei Yan to lead 20,000 people to bypass the battlefield and go straight to Luoyang. Now, he left another 5,000 people to clean up the battlefield and kill the wounded.
The remains of the soldiers and the ownerless horses were sent to Yique Pass. The injured Bingzhou Army soldiers were also sent to Yique Pass, and the bodies of the dead Bingzhou Army soldiers were buried on the spot.
Liu Xin led the remaining 4,000 Jingzhou cavalry and galloped to catch up with Xu Huang and Wei Yan's troops in front. Zhang Liao and dozens of Bingzhou Army soldiers also traveled with them. Although Liu Xin did not restrict their freedom, he did not allow them to carry them.
Weapons, in Liu Xin's words, now do not count them as prisoners, but they can only be regarded as battlefield observers. They can only be battlefield bystanders and cannot participate in the battle.
Zhang Liao is a loyal person. No matter what the reason for losing the duel just now, as long as he loses, he will not regret it. No matter what Liu Xin tells him, he will do it. Moreover, he feels deeply for Huang Zhong
He still admires Huang Zhong's martial arts. In his eyes, besides Lu Bu and Guan Yu who beheaded Hua Xiong, Huang Zhong has the highest martial arts.
Huang Zhong was not at ease with Zhang Liao and was worried that something might happen to him along the way, so he rode his horse alongside him and asked: "General Zhang, you said that Lu Bu is the best hero in the world. I wonder how his martial arts compares with yours."
?”
Zhang Liao glanced at Huang Zhong and said: "Zhang is just a junior colonel in the Bingzhou Army, not a general. As for martial arts, Zhang is not even a match for General Huang, let alone compared with Marquis Wen. Huang
The general must be regarded as Master Liu’s number one general."
Huang Zhong laughed loudly, pointed at Zhao Yun and the others, and said: "I don't dare to be the first general. They are on par with me, and none of us are my lord's opponents. But, let me hear what you say.
, I really want to meet Lu Bu right away and have a fight to see who is more powerful."
Zhang Liao's words clearly made Lu Bu a little taller. Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong didn't take it seriously at all, and even challenged Lu Bu. What surprised Zhang Liao even more was that the martial arts skills of several generals over there were actually as good as Huang Zhong's.
They all considered themselves inferior to Liu Xin in martial arts. They couldn't help but turn their heads and glance at Liu Xin. Not only did this man have many talents under his command, but he himself seemed to be a master.
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Liu Xin also said: "Wen Yuan is such a talented person, but he only became a junior colonel. It's a pity. When this matter is over, I will arrange a suitable official position for you. As for Liu
, although he is somewhat proficient in boxing and kicking, he has always convinced others with his virtue, and he only practices martial arts to strengthen his body."
Zhang Liao sighed and said no more. His heart was already shaken, not because Liu Xin made a wish for him, but because the sights he saw along the way shocked him.
It has been half a year since the Bingzhou Army arrived in Luoyang under the leadership of Ding Yuan. Zhang Liao has walked the road from Yique Pass to Luoyang many times. It is close to the capital and is relatively prosperous.
But this time, as we walked, we were already devastated. Many villages were reduced to ashes, and the fields were overgrown with weeds and desolate. The further we walked, the more shocking we became. The corpses of ordinary people could be seen everywhere, including some young ones.
The woman, naked and lying in a pool of blood, had obviously been humiliated before her death. In the wilderness, you could also see that many graves had been dug up, the coffins were damaged, and the bones were scattered everywhere.
What makes people feel a little relieved is that the vanguard of the Jingzhou Army has sent out a lot of people to gather the people who escaped death. In order to rush on the road, the Jingzhou Army did not carry much food and grass, and could not help so many people, so they had to let people go.
A group of soldiers escorted them south. There were also some Jingzhou Army soldiers who were busy burying the bones of the victims in the fields.
But this also affected the speed of the Jingzhou Army's advance. Not long after, the cavalry led by Liu Xin had caught up with Xu Huang, Wei Yan and his party. Since they had been rushing to the front, the scene they saw was even more tragic.
Liu Xin, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan shook their heads and sighed, and said in unison: "My lord, my subordinates are slow to act, please punish me!"
Liu Xin also looked serious and said: "Dong Zhuo is cruel and murderous. I'm afraid Luoyang City has already become a hell on earth. Let the rear army handle the matter here. Everyone must work harder and make sure before dark
Rush to Luoyang!"
Before Liu Xin's army and horses arrived in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo found out the news, hurriedly packed up his carriage and headed for Chang'an. In the past few days, he collected enough gold, silver and jewels from Luoyang's rich houses and the emperor's tomb.
Five thousand carts were loaded. Not only the princes and ministers, but also the people in Luoyang City were forced to move to Chang'an. Each group of people was escorted by a group of soldiers, and the sound of people wailing could be heard more than ten miles away.
During the trip, Dong Zhuo also ordered fires to be set everywhere in Luoyang City, and even the imperial palace was not spared.
The sun was setting, and Liu Xin finally arrived in Luoyang. He immediately ordered his troops to divide into two groups. One group was led by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan to pursue Dong Zhuo and rescue the people who had been forced to migrate. The other group was led by Huang Zhong and Xu Chu.
, fighting fires everywhere in Luoyang City.
Just when Liu Xin arrived in Luoyang, Ma Yun also took Yu Ji into prison and immediately started interrogating him. Ma Yun knew that history records that Sun Ce died because he offended Yu Ji, which caused the recurrence of old injuries. She
She was very worried that this Yu Ji was a spy sent by a certain force. After interrogation, Ma Yun found that this Yu Ji only came up with the idea after learning the news about Liu Xin's troops. He wanted to take advantage of the drought in Jingzhou to defraud some money, and he did
It is predicted that there will be heavy rain in Jingzhou within three days.
Since he was not a spy, Ma Yun ignored him and told Dian Wei: "This demon is good at escaping. The place where he is imprisoned must be strictly guarded. He must not be separated day and night. We will wait until the master comes back to deal with everything."
Yu Ji struggled and shouted: "Madam, please spare me and untie this magic weapon. With it tied behind my back like this, I can't even eat."
Ma Yun spread her hands and said: "Yu Shenxian, you are doing this to yourself. I can only use this magic weapon, but I can't solve it. If I want to solve it, I can only wait for Zhou Mu to come back."
After saying that, Ma Yun turned around and walked out, leaving Yu Ji shouting behind him. Several jailers had already rushed up. Just now, they heard Ma Yun say that he knew some magic and was good at escaping. He was worried that he would not be able to keep him under control.
, and hurriedly put shackles on him, but his hands were handcuffed behind his back, and the shackles could not be put on.
After a busy day, Ma Yun had just returned to the Prefectural Mufu, and saw Cai Yong waiting in front of the door. She couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Cai, you are here to see Zhaoji's mother and son. Why don't you go in? What are you talking about standing outside?"
."
Cai Yong cupped his hands and said, "Madam, I'm sending Liu Yu back to his home. According to the school regulations, he should be suspended from school for three days starting from tomorrow. Madam, please make your decision."
Ma Yun has also taught at Xiangyang Academy for several years, and is very familiar with the academy's rules. There are several types of punishment measures for violating the academy rules, all of which were formulated by Ma Yun herself. Suspension of classes for three days is the next most severe.
The punishment of expulsion showed that Liu Yu must have committed a very serious violation of hospital rules, but because of Liu Xin and Ma Yun's face, Cai Yong could not make up his mind for a while.
Ma Yun naturally understood the truth here. She couldn't help but became furious and asked in a deep voice: "Where is Liu Yuren?"
Liu Yu lowered his head, walked out of the concierge, and shouted: "Mother."
Ma Yun turned to Cai Yong and said, "Mr. Cai, what kind of hospital rules did Yu'er break? It's okay for you to tell me."
Cai Yong saw Ma Yun's ugly face, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Back to Madam, Liu Yu injured seven or eight classmates in the academy, but..."
Ma Yun interrupted Cai Yong and said: "Mr. Cai, you don't have to speak for him. Since you have injured a classmate, you must be punished according to school regulations. No one is exempt! Go back and announce that Liu Yu will be suspended from class starting tomorrow.
Three days!”
Liu Yu said aggrievedly: "Mom, it's them..."
Ma Yun said unceremoniously: "If they make a mistake, Mr. Cai will naturally punish them in accordance with the hospital rules instead of using fists and kicks. It is not terrible to do something wrong. What is terrible is that they always find excuses for the wrong things they have done."
reason."
When Cai Yong saw Ma Yun starting to teach his son a lesson, he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to hand his way and say goodbye: "In that case, I just obey your orders."
Back in the backyard, Liu Yu still looked unconvinced. Ma Yun waved her hand to the maids to retreat, tried to keep her tone calm, and said: "Yu'er, now you can tell mother, why did you hit other classmates?
"
The little guy was obviously very angry because Ma Yun didn't listen to his explanation just now. He pouted and said, "What's the use of saying it now, I will be suspended from class tomorrow."
Ma Yun was both angry and funny. She suppressed her anger and said patiently: "Yu'er, human beings are animals that live in groups. When everyone lives together, it is inevitable that there will be frictions and disputes of one kind or another. In order to reduce this kind of
There are disputes, so everyone must abide by certain rules. Whoever violates the rules should be punished. Instead of using fists and speaking with force. Of course, my mother is not against the use of force, but it depends on the situation.
It depends. Now, the people who have conflicts with you are all your classmates, not heinous people. Why do you have to use force? If there is any situation, can't you report it to the gentlemen properly? "
Liu Yu tilted his head and thought for a while. Obviously he didn't quite understand what Ma Yun said, but he still pouted and said, "They bullied A Chou, so I couldn't help but teach them a lesson."
