Hearing this news, Dong Zhuo couldn't sit still anymore. This kind of long-term stalemate was not what he wanted to see. After all, there were still many forces against him in the DPRK. He always stayed here in Sanguan, what would happen to the rear? No one knows what happened, and with the advent of summer, the grassland has become more and more beautiful. It is already the grazing season. Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao have repeatedly expressed the intention of resigning. Dong Zhuo has never agreed. Their request does not care about the strength of their 100,000 people, but is worried about the complete emptiness from Chang'an to the north. These nomadic cavalry will take the opportunity to looting along the road and upset the rear of Liangzhou.
Li Ru stroked a few short beards under his jaw, and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, I have a plan to make Liu Xin retreat immediately."
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked: "Wenyou, what are your tricks?"
Li Ru calmly said: "My son-in-law also has eyeliner in Xiangyang. Liu Xin hasn't shown up for more than a year since the Spring Festival last year. Why don't we spread rumors that Liu Xin has already died of an illness. The State Shepherd House will not be mourned. Once the news of Liu Xin’s death spreads, there will be a chaos in Jing and Yi. When the time comes, the troops outside the Guan will have to withdraw if they don’t want to withdraw. Maybe it can still make him feel good. The chaos, if the time comes, we only need to seize the opportunity to give them a fatal blow. From then on, whoever princes in the world dare to strike the tiger's whiskers again,"
Liu Xin stayed in the prefecture and shepherd’s house for a year, just to hide from others’ eyes and ears, so as to lead the troops on the expedition personally. Who knew that Li Ru seized the opportunity and wanted to spread rumors. This Li Ru still spread the rumors. He really has one hand. He spread rumors two years ago to corrupt Liu Xin’s image, and made up nursery rhymes when he moved the capital to Chang’an. Now that he has come up with this trick, he really enjoys it.
Dong Zhuo has always followed Li Ru's words and scheming, repeatedly applauded, and said: "It should not be too late, Wenyou, this matter is left to you."
Although the fighting in Sanguan area is going on, there is no trace of war in Xiangyang City. Now Xiangyang City has become the commercial center of the entire Han Dynasty. There are lots of traffic and merchants. Almost all goods produced in the country can be bought here. It is also a cultural center, financial center, and technology center. Its prosperity is even worse than that of Luoyang, the capital of the year.
There are a lot of people entering and leaving Xiangyang City every day, and the soldiers guarding the gate are accustomed to them, and they don’t specifically carry out interrogation. Some of the city patrols and arrests quickly. You never have to worry about someone committing a crime in Xiangyang city. However, today, guard soldiers Suddenly, his eyes widened, because a few unusual people came in front of him,
It was a few beautiful young women, all riding high-headed horses. The woman in the middle was wearing a bright red dress, riding a fiery red horse, walking in the summer sun like a fire rushing towards her face, making people Out of breath, Han women rarely ride horses, especially in the south, where horses are lacking. Women are even less likely to ride horses. These women wear silver ornaments on their heads, bodies, wrists, and ankles. As the horses galloped, the sound of "ding, jingle, bells, and bells" came in the wind.
The soldiers guarding the gate didn’t know how many figures they had seen every day. At a glance, they recognized that these women were all barbarians. However, the barbarian women in front of them were all beautiful and slim, and they were dumbfounded for a while. The eyeballs seemed to fall. The Han people used to look down on the barbarians, but Liu Xin issued strict orders that the Han barbarians were equal and treated equally. Although these soldiers belonged to the local army, they knew what military orders were like mountains and watched them. The graceful woman floated by her side, swallowing a few saliva, but did not dare to make the slightest act of being outrageous.
When the women entered the city, the soldiers reacted and hurriedly shouted behind them: "Listen to the people in front, no horses are allowed in Xiangyang City, please dismount and walk."
The headed woman strangled her horse with a "call" and muttered: "My brother's rules here are really big,"
A woman beside her smiled and said, "Sister Zhu Rong, the rules are not very big, so how can I control these many people?"
It turns out that this woman is Zhu Rong, known as the descendant of the god of fire. Three years have passed very quickly. She is already an eighteen-year-old girl. Other barbarian women of her age have given birth to several children. , It is said that the girl has eighteen and one flower. Today's Zhu Rong's tall figure is set off with her hips and her waist, and she is more charming. The four barbarian women beside her are all Zhu Rong's cousins, only thirteen or fourteen years old. Zhu Ding’s age was carefully selected as Zhu Rong’s dowry girl.
Zhu Ding was originally going to send his daughter to Xiangyang himself, but he received a secret order from Liu Xin to keep an eye on the movements of the four counties in Central South, and did not dare to leave Jangke County for half a step. However, the barbarian woman became self-reliant early, and Zhu Rong had another one. Good martial arts, there are no bandits and bandits along the way, so Zhu Ding is not worried about what will happen, so he promised Zhu Rong to go to Xiangyang by himself. Although Zhu Ding cannot come in person, a generous dowry is indispensable. These years When he was appointed as the prefect of Zhang Ke, his salary was quite abundant, and he also gained a lot of benefits from the barbaric business. The degree of wealth is no longer comparable to that of the past. Zhu Ding knows that he can rely on Liu Xin for today, and marry his daughter to him. It was willing, and he didn’t know where he heard that when Han people married their daughters, they often wanted their daughter’s sister as a dowry. Zhu Rong did not have a sister, so Zhu Ding chose those four nieces from the same clan as dowry.
Zhu Rong and her four cousins were all martial arts since they were young, with active nature, and the endless bustling scenery along the way. They had long since left the marrying team and ran to the front. I heard that horses are not allowed in Xiangyang City. Although Zhu Rong was reluctant, he had to jump off his horse and watched the bustling crowd around him. He was interested again, and shouted to the sky: "Fangyang, I am here."
With her voice, the passers-by on the two sides were startled, and they turned their heads to look here, and the cousin Zhu Yan hurriedly said: "Sister, uncle has repeatedly confessed that if you want to learn from the restraint of the Han family daughter, why did you forget? ,"
Zhu Rong saw countless lights shining at him, a pretty face flushed with shame, stomped his feet, and complained: "Why don't you remind me earlier, go fast, don't let people watch our jokes,"
Being watched by so many people, the daughter of the barbarian has always been bold, and her heart is unavoidable. Zhu Yan and the three sisters also lowered their heads in a panic, led the horse, and followed Zhu Rong in a hurry.
They are used to climbing and crossing the mountains, and walking on this flat ground is even more swift as the wind. In a blink of an eye, those people who watch the excitement are gone and turned into an alley, Zhu Rong is clutching his heart and panting. Said: "Oh, today this ugly is too big, don't let my elder brother know,"
Her other cousin Zhu Lan comforted her and said, "Sister, you are sitting in the high-walled compound, how nice is it to be seen? These people just want to pass it and can't pass it to his ears, so don't worry, sister. "
Zhu Rongshu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is the best. It's just that I was walking in a hurry. I don't remember how to go to the prefecture. Let's go out from that alley and ask someone to ask."
So the five people led the horses and continued on. Just walking around the corner, they saw a few sneaky people, whispering there, not knowing what they were talking about. Zhu Rong was guilty of conscience and worried that they were telling his own jokes, so he couldn’t help but hurry. I walked over and yelled, "Hey, what are you talking about?"
The person who was speaking was talking about the important point, and his face was full of joy. He suddenly heard this cry, and there was a cold war with the cream. When he looked back, the question was a stunning woman. He didn't realize it. With eyes shining, he said with a flattering smile: "Whose little lady is this, do you want your brother to talk with you?"
"Hey", the man's voice just fell, he slapped his right cheek heavily, and half of his face was swollen. The few people who were listening to him just now had quietly stepped back. They were already I can see that these people are women of the barbarian ethnic group. They have all heard that the women of the barbarian ethnic group are aggressive and bold. They are not as bully as the women of the Han ethnic group. They are people who are working in business and don’t want to cause trouble.
The person who was beaten also fisted twice. He didn't believe how powerful a woman could be. It was just a momentary obsession that caught her. However, he also hit quite hard on his face. It's still hot and painful, but the mouth continues to beg for a bargain: "Little lady, you..."
When Zhu Rong saw that he still dared to talk nonsense about "little lady, little lady", he couldn't help being furious. When he lifted his slender hand, he slapped again. The man was prepared this time, and his head flashed aside and stretched out his hand. He was about to grab Zhu Rong’s wrist, but he grabbed it for a while, and with a "pop", a sharp pain came over his left cheek.
The man was shocked. Just now, he clearly saw that this woman was not quick to make a move. He didn't manage to catch it. He also suffered a lot from her. Feeling bad, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard a joke, and there were a few more. The little girl with bright eyes and white teeth gathered around, holding bright steel knives in her hands, and forced them all to the corner.
The few "audiences" just now are all locals in Xiangyang. Seeing that the person who spoke was daring to openly molest the barbarian girl, he was eager to separate himself, and said repeatedly: "It's not our business, we are not with him,"
Zhu Rong saw that several cousins showed off their knives. Knowing that the matter could not be done well, he rushed forward and punched and kicked the person who had just spoken, and beat him into a pig's head. Pointing to the few people who were shrinking in the corner and said: "You put him up, lead the way, and go to the prefecture, shepherd's house."
Several local people in Xiangyang saw her fierce and wicked look, they couldn’t help their legs become weak, they knelt down together, and said in unison: “Auntie, please spare your life, the younger ones don’t know this person, please let us go. "
Because Zhu Rong bet with Liu Xin, he waited for his great youth for three years, and finally looked forward to his early days, but was called "grandma" by these people. Is it that he is so old, then if he can get Liu Xin's love, could not help being annoyed, and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, whoever doesn't go, I will beat anyone like him,"
Those few locals dared not say anything more, and scrambled to stand up, and set up the fallen outsider, and walked out of the alley. Not long after they got out of the alley, they saw a team of patrols. When the soldiers passed by, a few locals yelled almost without thinking: "Come on, someone is kidnapped."
