The army that appeared under the city of Wuwu was covered with mud and blood, and it was no longer possible to tell from the armor which camp they belonged to. However, the yellow and handsome flag in the center of the team was marked by the dragon and phoenix "Liu". However, he clearly told Fan Chou that this army neither belonged to Dong Zhuo, nor to Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao. Although Liu Bao recognized himself as a clan of the Han clan, he also had a big "Liu" embroidered on his handsome banner. However, Fan Chou knew that the character "Liu" on Liu Baoshuaiqi is official script, and the character "Liu" on this handsome banner is a bit like the regular script that has become popular recently, but it is a bit more agile, except that it is often strange. Liu Xin, who is thinking about it, who would embroider such a weird font on his handsome flag
The brigade flocked to the city, and suddenly separated the two sides, giving way to a road. Seven or eight strong men, like trackers on the edge of the Yellow River, pulled over a dark object with great effort. Fan Chou looked intently and found that they were pulling it. It's not something, but a fat man. The wailing sound of Ruoyouruowu just now came from this fat man. There are a lot of fat people, but it is rare to see a fat man. Fan Chou has seen one before, and often I saw that although this fat man had one arm missing, his face was full of mud, and he couldn't see his facial features at all, Fan Chou was still certain that this fat man who was dragged on the ground like a meat ball was right in the world. Dahan Taishi Dong Zhuo, who made the civil and military officials in the court frightened,
Fan Chou didn’t care about the outcome of the fierce battle between Dong Zhuo, Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao, because now it doesn’t matter what the outcome is. There is only one final winner, and that is Liu Xin and Fan Choulian. Rolling on the ground and ran down the city ladder, shouting loudly: "Quickly, open the city gate, we surrender,"
Except for the storage of money and grain and the camp of the garrison, Dong Zhuo and his family lived in other places in the city. The golden jewel shells in the house are radiant, and the collection of young beauties is even more dazzling. Fan Chou keeps on Liu Xin rested for a few days in Wucheng City before leaving, but Liu Xin remained unmoved.
Liu Xin asked Wenpin to take 10,000 people to stay in the city of Wuwu. The beauty of money in the city could not be possessed without his orders. Anyone who violated the order should be killed without pardon. Since even Beigong Boyu and Liu Bao have both fought. Wucheng’s idea, who can guarantee that the other bandits and stragglers in the Guanzhong area will not be moved by this thought. Liu Xin did not dare to take it lightly when the entire Guanzhong area was not settled, and the four passes were not completely in his own hands. Can only leave heavy guards,
The land is muddy, and the road is impossible to walk without two days. The captured war horses are still trapped in place, guarded by Zhang Biao with 5,000 people. For Liu Xin, these war horses are more important than any other wealth. , There is nothing to lose,
As a result, Liu Xin was left with less than 15,000 people, and he had to escort Dong Zhuo and more than 60,000 prisoners on the road overnight. The degree of danger can be imagined. Despite the difficulties, Liu Xin decided to take a break and take a rest. Then they set off and turned back to Chang'an. The soldiers of the Han army hurriedly washed their bodies with cold water in the city of Wuwu. As for the prisoners, naturally they would not be treated as well. They still looked like mud monkeys. To make it easier to distinguish the enemy from us, Dong Zhuo’s treatment has improved a bit, because Liu Xin knew that if he were to be dragged to Chang'an like this, there would be a dead pig left, so he found a thick door in the city of Yanwu and he was dying. Dong Zhuo threw on it, still being dragged by seven or eight prisoners to Chang'an,
Among these prisoners were Xiliang soldiers, Qiang soldiers, and Huns soldiers. Except for the old Luoyang army, who had just been pulled out from the city of Xiewu, the others had not entered from the morning until now, and they had to be driven to continue on their way. It is inevitable to complain,
When in Wucheng, the soldiers of the Han army ate their food, and the prisoners, except for the eight strong men who were responsible for dragging Dong Zhuo, did not get anything to eat. Liu Xin also knew that. There is still more than a hundred miles to go to Chang'an City. It’s a bit hard to get hungry, but he would rather let these prisoners starve to death than let them eat. After all, no one can guarantee that these prisoners will not eat. There will be riots in the middle of the road, be careful, now is not the time for mercy,
No matter where they came from, these captives were used to domineering and blessing to the people on weekdays. When did they suffer such suffering, especially those Xiliang soldiers who drove the people of Luoyang to relocate to Chang'an, the opponents against the unarmed people were Fight if you want, kill if you want, grab people and property, **** women, do whatever you want, ever thought that such a thing would happen to one's head one day, and walked halfway, finally some prisoners couldn't help it. And began to scream loudly, even some people simply lay down on the ground, relying on not to leave,
Liu Xin has repeatedly emphasized not to abuse the prisoners. Huang Zhong almost lost his life because he failed to stop his subordinates from killing and surrendering. Fortunately, Liu Xin came up with the trick of avoiding death. With twenty army sticks, with Huang Zhong’s lessons learned, facing the chaotic group of prisoners, the escorted soldiers couldn’t help being frightened. They didn’t dare to beat or scold them. In this way, the prisoners He became even more arrogant, lying down on the ground in large areas, and refused to go any further. Fortunately, they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Otherwise, it would really be possible to start with the soldiers who escorted them.
Liu Xin heard the noise from behind in the front team. He sent someone to ask and found out the reason. He felt furious and said: "Through my order, there are some people who continue to lie on the ground and refuse to get up. It doesn't matter if you kill them."
Huang Zhong felt this most deeply and hurriedly stopped and said: "The lord has already preached our policy to these prisoners in the evening. If we kill them now and spread it out, the lord’s reputation will be damaged. Please think twice. "
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "Haha, Han Sheng, are you afraid of being beaten by the twenty army club last time? The policy is dead, but people are alive. If you don't abuse prisoners, you can only target those who are obedient and obey the command. The prisoners of, there is only one sentence to these prisoners who are making trouble. If you refuse to accept it, hit them until you do it, tell them to get up and continue on their way, otherwise, kill them in one word."
Huang Zhong couldn't help being stunned by Liu Xin's remarks. It turned out that this would work. I knew it was so. I also thought of some way to work around. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to suffer the twenty sticks on my butt? Of course, I want to return. Huang Zhong also knows very well that these policies were formulated by Liu Xin. He can change them, but others cannot.
At this time, there was a burst of ghost crying and wolf crying from the team. The Han soldiers who were still helpless just now got Liu Xin's order, and they were all energetic. They first beat them with a white wax gun, and those who refused to get up, went straight up and slashed. Turning to the ground, seeing these escorted soldiers suddenly became true. Those prisoners who dared to continue to lie on the ground had to hold on and continue on their way. As the saying goes, it’s not that you don’t report. The time has not arrived. On the way from Luoyang to Chang’an, the people who couldn’t walk were also beaten by them. Today, it’s finally their turn.
When Liu Xin saw these captives, he was much more honest, and he did not forget to mock contemptuously: "Huh, a bunch of bullying and fearful things,"
It was already midnight when the army returned to Chang'an City. It took Gao Shun a long time to completely take over the city defense and patrols of Chang'an City. The palace was closely guarded by Cheng Yu, and the officials and people of Chang'an City were also uneasy. Until this time, most people have just fallen asleep. When tens of thousands of people walked through the streets paved with bluestone and made neat footsteps, many people woke up again and squatted on the door with panic. Looking out uncomfortably, no one realizes that Dong Zhuo has been captured yet.
Yang Biao has not fallen asleep. Although Liu Xin promised that their official positions and salary will not change in any way, how can he not know his current situation after a long time in officialdom? People like him have long seen it Since Liu Xinzhi is in the world, it is estimated that this cannot be concealed by Huang Wan, but everyone is tacitly aware. When Yang Biao was racking his brains at home about how to please Liu Xin, he got news from Liu Xin’s class in Wucheng. ,
After receiving this news, Yang Biao didn't say a word, and got up from his wife. He repeatedly ordered: "Change clothes, prepare the car, and go to the Taishi Mansion."
When Yang Biao rushed to the Taishi's mansion anxiously, more than 20 people had gathered in front of the mansion. The head of the man was Huang Wan. Yang Biao was secretly annoyed. When his movements were too slow, he saw Liu from a distance. Xin walked over with a line of soldiers, and then he was relieved that it was not too late.
Seeing so many people appearing at the gate of the Taishi’s mansion shocked Liu Xin. After all, it’s the dead of night. Liu Xin wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the barracks, but Huang Zhong and others couldn’t help but repeat themselves. After persuading me, I reluctantly agreed to stay overnight in Dong Zhuo’s Grand Master’s Mansion, but I didn’t expect that Yang Biao and Huang Wan would be regarded as living here by themselves. In fact, this is nothing strange, Grand Master’s Mansion. It is the most luxurious residence in Chang'an City. As the new ruler of Chang'an City, apart from the palace, this is naturally the best place for Liu Xin to stay.
When Liu Xin saw Yang Biao and Huang Wan, he was a little bit fascinated. He smiled and arched his hands. He said, "Master Yang, Master Huang, sirs, why don't you go to bed at this late hour, what are you doing here?"
Because Yang Biao was taken a step ahead by Huang Wan, he was eager to perform this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hit the ground, saying: "The lower officials are waiting here to welcome the adults triumphantly,"
Liu Xin was surprised: "How did Master Yang know that Liu must have won the battle? Didn't you see that Liu lost even his horse?"
The look on Yang Biao's face changed drastically, and he was speechless for a while, so embarrassed that he couldn't find a hole in it.
However, Liu Xin laughed and said, "Hehe, it’s just a joke with Master Yang, don’t mind, this time Liu not only won a big battle, but also brought you a special gift. Please please When I return home, I will know it at first sight tomorrow."
