Chapter 132: The Qiang prisoners are taken to Luoyang again
Chapter 132: Taking Qiang Prisoners to Luoyang Again
Beigong Boyu almost fainted after hearing Liu Zhang's words. He said angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I will bite my tongue and commit suicide?"
"Well! If you don't tell me, I will forget about it!" Liu Zhang ordered: "This girl wants to die, so you use a rope to strangle his mouth. Before sending him to Luoyang, he only feeds him some liquid food. Wait until he meets him.
Your Majesty, he can die however he wants!"
"You... um..." Beigong Boyu just wanted to speak, a rope was tied around his mouth, and he could only make a whining cry. Then he felt his body light up, like a bag.
Throw it on the war horse.
With the prisoners in custody, Liu Zhang headed for Jinyang. To be honest, if Beigong Boyu's army hadn't been too physically exhausted, he really wouldn't have been able to win. Moreover, this was the first time Liu Zhang's army had fled during a battle. However,
, this is not because Liu Zhang’s military training level is not good, but because his army is composed of domestic slaves, and they are domestic slaves from the prosperous place of Xuzhou.
Rich people cherish their lives. Although the slaves of the Mi family are slaves, the Mi family has never treated them badly. Even in famine years, these people have no worries about food and clothing. They cannot be compared with the desperadoes in Youzhou and the Yulin guards in Luoyang.
Looking at these soldiers, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "We still need to recruit troops!"
After arriving in Jinyang, Liu Zhang saw Guo Jia and several people waiting at the gate of Jinyang, so he smiled and asked: "Fengxiao, who are these?"
"See the Champion Marquis!" Several people bowed down at the same time: "The general is ordered to ask the Champion Marquis for instructions. We need to enter Bingzhou to pursue the Qiang leader Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Fengxiao, you sign a warrant for these people..."
"Woo... Wu..." A whining sound of struggle attracted everyone's attention, and the eyes of those who came to ask for the warrant suddenly widened.
"Bei... Beigong... Boyu?!" One of them pointed at Bei Gong Boyu who was tied up like a rice dumpling and cried out.
"Where?" Liu Zhang heard the words and looked around. Following the man's fingers, he saw the Qiang King who was tied into a rice dumpling. In fact, Beigong Boyu was quite unjust. Liu Zhang didn't know him at all. He just heard Li Wenhou shouting
Only then did he, King Qiang, think of capturing him alive. Liu Zhang walked up to Beigong Boyu and asked with a strange look on his face: "Are you Beigong Boyu?"
"Woo... Wu..." Beigong Boyu was just like a rice dumpling, even his mouth was tied up. He could only nod his head and make a sound.
"What about Marquis Li Wen?" Liu Zhang asked again.
"Woo... Wu..." Beigong Boyu continued to hum twice.
Liu Zhang said with some embarrassment: "I forgot that your mouth is tied! Someone, help him untie the rope from his mouth."
"Bah...bah!" Beigong Boyu spat twice and said, "Didn't Marquis Li Wen get patted into a meat pie by the iron tower next to you?"
"That fool is Marquis Li Wen?" Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Does he deserve to be called a handsome man like this? He is not even as handsome as the Yellow Turban Canal!"
"You..." Beigong Boyu was furious, but he had nothing to say. After all, both Li Wenhou and his brothers died at the hands of Liu Zhang.
"Okay! Come here! Keep tying it up!" Liu Zhang waved his hand, and the soldier who had just untied the rope from Beigong Boyu's mouth came over with the rope again.
"I won't bite my tongue... Wu... Wu..." Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't stop him, the soldier naturally continued to tie the rope.
Liu Zhang patted Beigong Boyu's cheek and said: "Kid, if you dare to threaten me, you will pay the price! Fortunately, you only threatened me with your own life, otherwise I will let you know what it means to live and die.
Well! If you want to live a comfortable life, you'd better stop humming, I find it annoying! If you hum again, I will make you unable to stop!"
As the saying goes: Bei Gong Boyu is already a prisoner and has been tortured by Liu Zhang for so long. How could he not know Liu Zhang's character? So Bei Gong Boyu didn't dare to hum anymore and just kept quiet.
Liu Zhang nodded. Liu Zhang turned to the small school sent by Dong Zhuo and said: "Go back and tell Zhong Ying, Yizhen, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou brothers have been killed by me! They can continue to hunt down the rebels. If
If you need anything, you can ask me for help!"
"Yes! Thank you, Lord Marquis!" After hearing this, several primary schools members immediately went back.
After the principal left, Liu Zhang and Guo Jia entered the city side by side. Guo Jia asked: "My lord, do you think you have robbed Dong Zhuo and the others of their contribution?"
"If you rob it, just rob it!" Liu Zhang snorted coldly: "They are all trash! A small Qiang man actually fought for two years and finally let me pick peaches. It's a pity that I am not the emperor's brother, otherwise I wouldn't have done it.
Are you so mad? It’s just the Chinese New Year, so I’m giving a Qiang King to my brother to play with, because it hurts my health to play with beautiful women all the time!”
"Master, are you going back to Luoyang to celebrate the New Year?" Guo Jia calculated the time and found that there were still four months until the New Year. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it inappropriate to go back so early?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I go back every year to celebrate the New Year. If I don't go back this year, I don't know how the government will arrange for me! If I go back early, the emperor will think that I don't want to come to Bingzhou, so he will feel guilty in his heart. If I go back late, maybe
Brother Huang is worried!"
"What my lord said is absolutely true!" Guo Jia nodded and said, "My lord can still go back and see how your majesty is doing in order to make plans."
"Yeah!" Liu Zhang was a little hesitant. He wanted to tell Guo Jia that Liu Hong still had one or two years to live. Originally, Liu Zhang was worried that teaching Tai Chi to Liu Hong would extend Liu Hong's life, but now
It seemed that even if Liu Zhang found the elixir of life, he might not be able to save Liu Hong from death.
The inertia of history is powerful. If the opponent does not try his best to change his destiny, the wheel of history will never deviate from the track. For example, Liu Zhang taught Tai Chi to Liu Hong, and Tai Chi is indeed a good thing for health, but Liu Hong was
If he doesn't practice, what can Liu Zhang do? It's like Liu Zhang stuffing the elixir of life into Liu Hong's mouth, but Liu Hong refuses to swallow it, and he will still inevitably die!
"Fengxiao, have you practiced the Tai Chi I taught you well?" Liu Hong's fate reminded Liu Zhang of a very important question. Guo Jia was also a short-lived ghost. If Guo Jia was the same as Liu Hong, then Liu Zhang would have wasted nothing.
Are you scheming?
"Uh...of course I practiced!" In fact, Guo Jia didn't practice at all. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask a question suddenly, so he was stunned for a moment. But just like that, Liu Zhang saw the flaw.
"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed and said, "Fengxiao, I dare say that your Majesty will not live to be thirty-four years old!"
"This..." Guo Jia asked with his eyes widened: "How did the Lord know?"
"I also know that you will not live to be thirty-eight!" Liu Zhang took a deep look at Guo Jia.
"Does the Lord know how to read fortune tellers?" Guo Jia looked surprised, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, how about we make a bet?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "I wonder what my lord wants to bet on?"
"If I win, you must at least practice Tai Chi seriously every day. If you win, I will no longer care about you..." Liu Zhang was quite helpless. He also knew that Guo Jia didn't like to be controlled.
Seeing the concern in Liu Zhang's eyes, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Since the lord is interested, Jia will play with the lord! I wonder what the lord wants to gamble on?"
"I bet that your Majesty will not survive the sixth year of Zhongping!" Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "I don't know how to be filial, but I dare to bet?"
"It's a bet! However, the bet needs to be changed!" Seeing Liu Zhang's caution, Guo Jia made up his mind to practice Tai Chi seriously once a day.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I wonder what Fengxiao is betting on? Apart from his wife and children, Fengxiao can choose everything else!"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "If I lose, I will help the lord urge Zhicai to practice Tai Chi. Of course, I will practice regardless of whether I win or lose!"
"Okay!" Liu Zhang looked at Guo Jia and was very pleased. Although he didn't know whether Tai Chi could prolong Guo Jia's life, at least Guo Jia had tried hard to change it.
After dealing with the surrender of the Qiang troops, Liu Zhang asked his daughters to pack their bags, escorted Beigong Boyu, and set out on the road. As for the important military and political affairs of Bingzhou, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Liu Ye, and Zhang Ren were naturally in charge. Anyway, Liu Zhang was in charge.
Guo Jia and others were used to being handed away by shopkeepers, so they were no longer surprised.
Returning to Luoyang, he escorted Beigong Boyu to Tingwei's Mansion, and Liu Zhang came to the palace. Hearing that Liu Zhang was back, Liu Hong was very happy and immediately ordered him to go to the palace to see him.
"See you, brother emperor!" Liu Zhang saluted immediately when he saw Liu Hong.
"No gift! Please sit down!" Liu Hong asked Xiao Huangmen to spread a mat for Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was not polite. However, when Liu Zhang raised his head, he found that Liu Hong looked older than before he left. Seeing Liu Zhang in a daze, Liu Zhang
Hongxiao asked: "Brother Huang, you have only been to Bingzhou for half a year, why are you back so soon?"
"Forget it!" Liu Zhang said helplessly: "Originally, my brother went to Bingzhou to meet the Qiang people. Unfortunately, there were too few soldiers. After recruiting a few, they were not enough. I really didn't dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Qiang people. These past six months, my brother has been bored! And!
There are not many people in that ghost place in Bingzhou, and the materials are not rich, which makes my brother very depressed! No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon! My brother came back early and gave the emperor a New Year gift by the way!"
Liu Hong saw that Liu Zhang didn't look like he was cheating, so he smiled and asked, "I wonder what good things the emperor brother can give me?"
"It's not a good thing!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It's just a person!"
"Who is it?" Liu Zhang actually came all the way to see someone off, so he must have a great background.
"Brother Huang, what has been your biggest headache in the past two years?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.
"Do you still need to ask?" Liu Honglue said angrily: "The Yellow Turban Stars in the South, Liangzhou Qiang Head Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou! I heard that Wu Wan is also ready to make a move in Yuyang. Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song
, Zhang Wen is such a waste, the small Qiang people used hundreds of thousands of troops to fight for two years with no results! Back then, the emperor's younger brother attacked Wuwan and only used 20,000 people to attack Wuhuan Mountain.
It’s been eight years, and the Karasuma people don’t dare to do anything!”
"My brother is so wise and powerful, except that he is not as good as the emperor, how can anyone else compare to him?" Liu Zhang patted his chest and said: "Brother, from now on, you don't have to worry about Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in Liangzhou!"
"Oh?" Liu Hong asked with a smile: "Did the emperor's younger brother kill them?"
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu were two unlucky children. They were forced by Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo to have no way to escape, so they ran to Bingzhou. Brother Chen led people to kill Li Wenhou brother! As for Beigong Boyu,
Then he was captured alive by my younger brother and is now being held in Tingwei Mansion!"
