A few days later, Liu Xie, who was dressed in rags and had dull eyes, walked into Luoyang slowly under the guard of many haggard ministers.
Entering Luoyang City,
At the entrance, there are coke everywhere, broken walls and ruins...
"Woooooooo..."
Some people couldn't help but began to cover their faces and start crying.
In such a hellish situation, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling sad.
Kneeling on the ground, Liu Xie wailed loudly, "Ancestors, ancestors and ancestors! Unfilial son Liu Xie, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the big fellow Huanghuang!"
"Your Majesty! Woooooo~~~"
"This is not His Majesty's fault..."
More people were infected by Liu Xie's mournful cries, and they also began to cry.
Just when the ministers were comforting each other and being proud of each other, Dong Cheng suddenly led a few soldiers to report.
"Your Majesty! There is a huge tomb outside the city!"
"Tomb?" Liu Xie was at a loss for a while, "Where did the tomb come from outside Luoyang City?"
Dong Cheng stepped aside and motioned for the soldiers who discovered the tomb to explain.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the younger ones were patrolling the surrounding area, and then they suddenly discovered a huge tomb.
The tomb is a huge earth pit, and after the mound is buried, stones are piled on it for reinforcement.
It is estimated that the size of the tomb is enough to bury the bones of tens of thousands of people. "
"Bury tens of thousands of people??" Taiwei Yang Biao, who was kneeling behind Emperor Xian, seemed to have realized something.
He stood up and looked around.
Sure enough, there were countless dark and black blood stains on the ground, but he didn't see a single corpse.
"The Xiliang army killed so many people back then, it's impossible not to see the bones." Yang Biao muttered to himself, "Unless someone buried them...I'm afraid it's in that huge tomb!"
Liu Xie heard Yang Biao's words. He raised his head and looked at Yang Biao with confused eyes, but he didn't react for a while.
The soldier said again: "There is a monument in front of the tomb."
"What's written on the tombstone?" Yang Biao asked first.
"No... I don't know... the little ones... the little ones can't read..." the soldier replied nah.
It's not their fault that they can't read. Yang Biao didn't criticize them, but said, "Take me to see."
"Here!"
Yang Biao supported Liu Xie, handed him over to Dong Chenghou, and said, "Take good care of Your Majesty."
Then Yang Biao said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, you go back to the palace first... find a place that can shelter you from the wind and rain and take a rest. I will go back as soon as I go." Yang Biao originally wanted to talk about the palace, but now, where And the palace?
Liu Xie nodded, and replied: "Ai Qing... hurry back..."
"Here!"
......
This is a mass grave,
Buried the remains and innocent souls of countless dead in Luoyang City!
When he first saw this scene, Yang Biao was shocked by this huge tomb.
Coming to the front of the tomb, Yang Biao bowed deeply to the tombstone, and then looked at the words engraved on the tombstone.
On the mottled wooden tombstone, there is only one sentence engraved on it, "The death of Luoyang, the shame of the great man!"
With just this one sentence, Yang Biao was already in tears.
However, this sentence reminded Yang Biao of the burning, killing and looting from the Southern Huns that happened in the Sanfu area of Chang'an not long ago...
When looking at the phrase "Luoyang's death, the shame of a great man",
Yang Biao covered his face and said: "We... are all sinners, sinners!"
There is also a line of small characters on the tombstone, which should be the signature, but the small characters are covered with dust and cannot be read clearly.
Yang Biao wiped away the tears from his face, and his face, which was already full of dust and stains, suddenly became more smudged.
Go to the tombstone, wipe off the dust on the tombstone with your hands,
While looking at the small characters on it, Yang Biao couldn't help but read aloud: "Han, Fenwu General Cao Cao, stand up."
"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!"
The name is so familiar!
When Yang Biao saw the name Cao Cao, the young man who was not tall and not good-looking immediately appeared in his mind.
At the same time, he also remembered the young man who failed to assassinate Dong alone, but joined the allied forces to attack Dong Zhuo.
"That's right... Back then, Meng De seemed to be the only one who hunted and killed Dong Zhuo, who moved the capital to Chang'an. Unfortunately, I heard that he was defeated very badly... and almost lost his life because of it."
Yang Biao sighed, but there was relief in his tone,
"It's just that I didn't expect that he would be able to chase after Luoyang City... If he had been given [-] elite soldiers at that time, wouldn't so many tragedies have happened in the future?"
If Lao Cao really had [-] elite soldiers at that time, Lu Yan might have lived an exquisite life of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.
......
There are two flowers on each table.
However, after Cao Cao met Lu Yan, he immediately set up his troops and marched towards Luoyang. He didn't even have time to take a bite of the hot pot that Lu Yan prepared for him.
"Changsheng, I'm afraid I haven't been back to Chenliu for three years... or four years. Unexpectedly, the prosperity here is no less than that of Luoyang City in the past!"
Along the way, Lao Cao looked around curiously like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and kept asking questions.
"Get rid of it, this is under the rule of your Boss Cao! Don't act like a bumpkin who has never seen the world?" This is Lu Yan's heartfelt voice, but it's a pity that Lao Cao can't hear it.
"Cao Gong, Chen Liu's rapid development has benefited from the increase in productivity. And the increase in productivity has benefited from the new tools and more scientific working methods developed by the workshop."
"Hmm..." Cao Cao nodded after thinking for a while and said, "I don't understand..."
"..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you think it's right, then do it boldly!" Cao Cao encouraged.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Lu Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question that has troubled him for many years.
"Cao Gong, Yan has a doubt whether he should speak up or not."
"Let's talk, we don't need secrets, let alone doubts."
"Why does Mr. Cao trust Lu so much?" Lu Yan asked Cao Cao, looking into his eyes.
Cao Cao also looked directly into Lu Yan's eyes. Those small but sharp eyes revealed only sincerity and trust at the moment, "I have believed in you since you persuaded me to bury the dead outside Luoyang City ( And there is a diary where you can see what you are thinking...). A person who keeps the people in his heart all the time will never do anything to hurt the people.”
Lu Yan remained silent, and said in his heart: "So, that's the case... What the people want most is to live a peaceful life. Boss Cao understands me so well..."
Chapter 18 Hot porridge warms the heart
"Old Cao, what kind of expression is that on your face, it hurts?"
Lu Yan looked puzzled, and couldn't figure out what Boss Cao's expression of seeing a ghost just now meant, but he still kept smiling very politely.
Taiwei Yang Biao nodded and explained to the little emperor after receiving Lu Yan's explanation:
"Your Majesty, the people who died in Luoyang were buried outside the city by General Cao. The huge tomb discovered by the patrol soldiers before is where the people were buried."
"So..." Liu Xie heard that it was so, and his fear of Cao Cao dissipated immediately, "Cao Aiqing has a heart."
"He is a loyal minister!" Someone heard that Cao Cao buried all the people in Luoyang City in his early years, and immediately felt that Cao Mengde was indeed a caring person.
"When Dong Zhuo was assassinated, I knew that Cao Mengde was a loyal minister..." A minister twirled his beard, proudly recalling the original scene.
"Yeah, yeah, it's been almost a month since the edict was issued, and Cao Cao seems to be the only prince in the world..."
......
Everyone was discussing, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly eased down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that he and others had gained the trust of the emperor and ministers, Lu Yan said to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, it's almost time to eat."
"Well, I guess it's almost time." Cao Cao nodded after hearing that, then turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, go get someone to bring the things up."
"Here!" Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Cao Cao and bowed to Emperor Xian before retreating.
"Cao Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, what are you..." Emperor Xian asked puzzled.
Cao Cao looked at Lu Yan and signaled to you to come up with your idea.
Lu Yan rolled his eyes at Cao Cao, then cupped his hands and said to Liu Xie:
"Return to Your Majesty... Your Majesty specially asked the vanguard knights to bring some dried meat and millet.
Before coming to have an audience, the minister had already had meat porridge stewed.
At this moment, it is estimated that it should have been stewed almost. "
Millet lean meat porridge!
"Gudong!"
"Gollum!"
"Guji..."
The hall was full, and there were all kinds of swallowing saliva and stomach moaning sounds.
"Cao Aiqing, is...is... for food?" Liu Xie's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Cao Cao and Lu Yan would be so careful!
Cao Cao pointed to Lu Yan and said, "It's all Mr. Lu's idea.
He said that His Majesty's journey out of the dangerous situation has been difficult and dangerous, and what he hopes most at this moment is not a beautiful woman in gold and silver, but just a bowl of hot meat porridge. "
Lu Yan didn't know why Lao Cao always put himself in front of him, but now was not the time to argue, so he could only bear it.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven looked at him again, Lu Yan had no choice but to cup his hands, and then with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, he said: "Your Majesty, first eat your stomach, and then let's talk about it slowly."
"Okay!" Liu Xie nodded hastily, and then he asked curiously, "Where is Lu Aiqing from?"
"The minister is from Chenliu."
"Who else is at home?"
"There is only one minister."
The Son of Heaven and everyone fell silent, "It seems that this Lu Yan is neither a son of aristocratic nor a son of a poor family. Is Cao Cao so relieved to use him?"
The emperor wanted to ask something more, but suddenly a servant shouted excitedly in the distance: "Your Majesty, millet porridge is here!"
Following the voice of the servant, a smell of meat that I hadn't smelled for a long time suddenly wafted up!
Not only Xiandi Liu Xie, everyone present stood up one after another, "It smells so good! It smells so good!!!"
"Meat, it's meat!"
"It's really meat... haven't you smelled meat in a few years?"
"If you can eat a bite, even if you die immediately, it's worth it..."
Several Cao soldiers came behind Cao Cao holding two large bowls, waiting for Cao Cao's order.
Seeing Emperor Xian staring at the sea bowls containing meat porridge in the hands of those soldiers, Cao Cao smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, after drinking this bowl of porridge, let's go back to Yanzhou with the ministers."
Emperor Xian Liu Xie couldn't care about anything else, he only had in his eyes, heart, and mind the millet lean meat porridge exuding a tempting aroma.
Liu Xie quickly nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, I will follow what Cao Aiqing said."
What if you don't agree?Is it possible to drink the northwest wind here until Li Jue, Guo Si and others chase after...
Although the first choice of Emperor Xiandi and his party was Yuan Shao,
But Yuan Shao still didn't send anyone to King Qin so far. With no choice, Emperor Xian finally had to go with Cao Cao.
When Emperor Xian agreed, Cao Cao waved his hand forward with a smile and said, "Take it up."
Yang Biao glanced at Emperor Xian who was flying towards him, feeling a little sad, "Li Jue and Guo Si wanted to take the emperor back to Chang'an, and Zhang Ji wanted to put the emperor in Hongnong.
