Chapter 40 A sudden whim

Zhao Yu stood on the hillside with his hands behind his back, watching Lu Bu's army winding towards Runan, and then turned and left.

Following them all the way, Lu Bu did not dare to disobey Zhao Yu's warning. Even if he was extremely short of food, he did not dare to harass the people. However, the cities and counties along the way were intimidated by him and demanded a lot of food and grass. Lu Bu has no overall ability, and he doesn't know the situation in Nanyang. If he knew, he probably wouldn't take the people's ideas seriously. Both Liu Biao and Yuan Shu used Nanyang as a buffer, so there were no strong men or large armies guarding it, so it was not easy to get food.

Anyway, Lu Bu still insisted on going to Runan, which Zhao Yu liked to see.

He hoped that Lu Bu could cheat Cao Mengde and indirectly help Cao Mengde as he did in history.

Zhao Yu is not worried that Lu Bu will know that his immortal family is in Cao Mengde's camp. Zhao Yu's reputation is only in a small area. For example, the people of Zhaozhuang. But the people didn't know that Zhao Yu had such tyrannical power. Even if word got out, they would only think it was someone with the same name, which is not unusual.

And Cao Mengde also intentionally or unintentionally downplayed Zhao Yu's prestige. This was not only because of his heroic spirit, but also because he was afraid that after Zhao Yu's ability spread, other princes would find ways to seduce him. What if he doesn't do well and Zhao Yu becomes unhappy and abandons him?

For many reasons combined, Zhao Yu's status in the hearts of Cao Mengde's core figures was surprisingly high, but his reputation was not widely spread.

Otherwise, if Lu Bu knew that Zhao Yu was with Cao Mengde, he would not dare to come to Yanzhou to take action. As for Chen Gong, Zhao Yu is free to worry about it and will not mention it for the time being.

Zhao Yu made the journey very quickly. He walked and looked at each other leisurely and passed Chenliu the next day.

Seeing that Puyang was about to arrive, Zhao Yu had a sudden idea.

He clapped his hands and shouted to himself: "Where's Diao Chan!?"

It is said that the heart is like floating clouds and the mind is like flowing water. This is probably the state of Zhao Yu. Such a strange idea suddenly came to my mind, and I immediately wanted to take a look and verify it.

Although he seemed to be trying his best to plan for Cao Mengde, he actually did whatever he thought of. The mind is not tired, the body is not tired, and there is a kind of freedom hidden in it.

Then another thought came to mind: "I have been in this time and space for two or three years, and I seem to have been wandering around Puyang. I have never even seen Luoyang and Chang'an. I failed."

"Why don't you just go take a look?"

Once the thought occurs, it becomes out of control.

Zhao Yu said nothing and didn't care what happened to Puyang. He turned around and headed towards Luoyang.

The road in ancient times was not easy to walk, so Zhao Yu just headed west. Occasionally he encountered rare animals - people, so he stopped the road and asked.

Within the area of ​​Henan Yin, due to Dong Zhuo's abuse and war, it was already in ruins, and not a few people could be seen. Cao Mengde said that there is no cockcrow in a thousand miles, and Henan Yin is a reflection of it. It used to be the most virtuous place in the world, the capital of the Han Dynasty, but now it has become like this, which is also sighing.

Walking and watching all the way, Zhao Yu arrived in Luoyang two days later.

Such a huge imperial capital was burned into ruins, and all its past glory was burned into smoke.

I don’t know if the emperors of the Han Dynasty in the past dynasties had spirits under the spring, would they crawl out from under the Nine Netherworld, jump around and curse.

This dilapidated imperial capital symbolizes the past majesty of the Han family, and it also indicates that the Liu family of the Han family has been disgraced. When Emperor Ling was there, he still had the dignity of the emperor. The subsequent young emperors and the current emperor who was promoted to the throne by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an were probably not as good as a small rural landowner, right?

There are a few scattered villages, hidden among the ruins, and the skinny and numb faces make people sigh.

Zhao Yu floated by.

To the west of Luoyang, there is a straight road leading directly to Guanzhong. But to go to Guanzhong, you need to pass a pass, which is Hangu.

Hangu Pass has a long history. It stood between the mountains and rivers in the pre-Qin Dynasty, guarding the main road between Guanzhong and Guandong.

At present, this city gate is almost not heavily guarded. When Zhao Yu passed the border, it looked like there were only a thousand people at most.

It's normal to think about it. For the time being, the princes from all over the country are fighting and annexing each other to build up their foundation. They don't have that much energy to take care of Guanzhong, so they don't need too many troops to guard this important military place. Secondly, after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun refused to pardon Dong Zhuo's original troops. Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others then led a counterattack and transferred almost all the troops originally guarding the passes around Guanzhong. They probably did not have time to rearrange their troops.

After passing Hangu Pass, you will reach Hongnong County. Xin'an didn't have many military leaders, but Mianchi had a large army. When passing Mianchi, Zhao Yu was searched.

After a little inquiry, it turned out that Zhang Ji, the general of Zhendong, came out to station Hongnong and sent his nephew Zhang Xiu to Zhenchi.

The names of these two people are quite familiar.

Zhang Ji is famous because he has a concubine who is as beautiful as a flower. Zhang Xiu is famous because of his cheap aunt. When Zhao Yu heard that Zhang Xiu was here in Mianchi, his mind wandered and he suddenly thought of Cao Mengde and Dian Wei.

It was precisely because of this Zou family that Cao Mengde was defeated in the battle, killing his general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang.

It's a bit ridiculous when you think about it, but essentially, there's nothing strange about it. Cao Mengde had the disadvantage of being a man of few people. He acted openly and openly, and he was not afraid of what others would say. Xiangshi was undefeated in battle, Dian Wei and Cao Ang survived, and Duluo may still be a good story in future generations.

As for Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, I'm afraid few people know about them.

Zhao Yu then thought of one of the key figures, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. No idea where this guy is now.

It was Jia Xu's idea that Li Jue and Guo Si counterattack Chang'an. It was also this guy's idea that Zhang Xiu rebelled against Cao Mengde and killed Dian Wei and Cao Ang. Even in the rumors of later generations, many major events, such as Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, the murder of the Young Emperor, etc., all have the shadow of this guy, and it is not known whether it is true or false.

Anyway, this guy is not an ordinary person.

Jia Xu is the best at protecting himself. When he was young, he would pull off the tiger's skin and pull the flag. It is said that when he was young, he was kidnapped by Qiang soldiers on the way back to his hometown in Wuwei. He took his time and told Qiang that he was the nephew of General Poqiang and Taiwei Duan Jue.

When Qiang Hu heard this, he was shocked and immediately let him go respectfully.

Duan Jiong was probably the outstanding general of the previous generation like Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others. During the reign of Emperor Huan, the Qiang rebelled and almost occupied Liangzhou. Duan Jiong was ordered to lead more than ten thousand troops and fought hundreds of battles. He was victorious in every battle, often defeating more with less, and defeated the coalition forces of hundreds of Qiang and Hu tribes. Finally, in Shehu Valley, he annihilated the main force of Qiang and Hu in one battle. When the Qiang and Hu heard about Duan Jiu, their expressions changed. They are not afraid of the emperor, but they are afraid of Duan Jiong.

It can be seen that Jia Wenhe Ji changes quickly.

After passing Mianchi, probably because there was Zhang Xiu in Mianchi, when Zhao Yu arrived in Shaanxi County, the Xiliang army's defenses were not so tight.

Zhao Yu had to pay a poll tax when entering the city, and he also had to pay a few big bucks to cross the border. However, he was penniless, and all the money he paid was the money of the Xiliang soldiers who guarded the gate and the city. Wherever he passed, ill-gotten gains often disappeared, leaving behind many legends.

Then Chang'an arrived.

Luoyang and Chang'an are on the same line, Chang'an is on the bank of the Wei River, the Wei River flows eastward into the river, and Luoyang is on the bank of the river.

Guanzhong was originally an anointed land, and the First Emperor ruled the world from Guanzhong. It was the old Qin people raised by the land of Guanzhong who sacrificed everything to achieve the true unification of the Xia peoples for the first time.

However, after the development of the Qin and Han dynasties, the originally fertile land in Guanzhong has reached its limit. Coupled with years of war, it declined.

The Xiliang army may be powerful in combat, but its military discipline is appallingly corrupt. The so-called war is like a grate, it is nothing more than this.

Dong Zhuo harmed Henan Yin, and after Chang'an died, his men continued to harm Guanzhong. When another natural disaster occurs, it can be said that the people are in dire straits.

Last year there was a severe drought in Guandong, and this year there was heavy rain in Guanzhong. It has been rainy for most of the year, and it has just stopped when autumn comes.

How innocent are people's lives under the sky?

Even Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Western Han Dynasty, is only slightly more beautiful than Luoyang. There were countless refugees wandering outside the city, and the dead were everywhere. As for the Xiliang warlords, they didn't care at all and just drove them away.

Walking into the city, you can still vaguely see the mottled shadow of Emperor Wu. Under the tall city gate, perhaps two hundred years ago, there was a majestic general who led his army out from here. From a distance, it turned out to be Huo Yao.

A majestic emperor stood on the city gate tower, watching the soldiers rush to the battlefield.

The general returned, carrying the enemy's head to the cheers of the people. The great Han conquers the whole world, in the world, under the sky, in all directions, I am the only one who is supreme!

It is this great city that has witnessed all this, witnessed the great cause that established the word Han, and witnessed the establishment of the name of the Han nation for two thousand years.

In the Jin Dynasty, they were called Jin people, in the Tang Dynasty, they were called Tang people, and in the Song Dynasty, they were called Song people. However, after the ups and downs of these dynasties in history, it is the Han Dynasty that is imprinted on us.

Because she is the strongest.

The state of Heng was destroyed by weakness, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength.

The strength of the Han Dynasty created the dignity and pride of the Han people. So it will always come down and never be forgotten.

Zhao Yu might also be a little sad about spring and autumn, but he quickly put it aside.

This is the course of humanity and may be changed, but Zhao Yu did not go to that time and space. But it's not too late, right?

Many notices were posted inside and outside the city gate. The most eye-catching thing was the wanted notice. Looking at it from a distance, Zhao Yu laughed. It was Lu Bu who was on the notice.

The painting is still decent.

The key is that they are extremely expressive. Their appearance may be a little different, but their fierce temperament is not bad at all.

Zhao Yu immediately thought of Diao Chan. One of his thoughts when he came this time was to wonder whether this person, one of the four beauties rumored by later unofficial historians, existed. Was there such a stunning beauty, who fought between tigers and wolves, and finally sent Dong Zhuo to heaven?

But then Zhao Yu scratched his head.

The person who experienced this incident, Lu Bu, left Runan far away and forgot to ask him at that time. It really shouldn't have happened. And since Wang Yun is dead, the ministers who conspired with him are probably also dead, right? Li Jue and others counterattacked, how could they let them go?

Villains like Li Jue and Guo Si probably don't know the details.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu discovered that there was another person who probably knew about it.

who?

Son of Heaven.

Liu Xie.
