Guo Tu remained motionless, looked up at the stele, and sighed faintly.

"When two people are in the same heart, their strength will cut through gold. Words of the same heart will stink like orchids. Perhaps, this is God's will."

Chapter 847

In the first month of the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Xie walked into Luoyang City "for the first time".

He has been stationed in Pingliang for more than a month and has not entered the city.

It wasn't until the end of the parade and the completion of the training of the armies that he would lead the army eastward to conquer Jizhou that he suddenly decided to go to the city to have a look.

There are not many entourages, except for casual cavalry and female cavalry, there are only General Fujun Han Sui and others.

Liu Biao received the verbal order unexpectedly and followed the driver.

After receiving the oral order, he immediately changed his clothes, jumped on his horse, and followed the knight who delivered the order into the city.

After more than a month in Luoyang, he was used to riding a horse, and he also prepared a docile mount.As long as you don't rush for a long time, you can handle it.

When I saw the emperor, the emperor was in Tongtuo Street on the west side of the two palaces.

The once bustling Tongtuo Street is now full of thorns, and even the copper camels that were touched shiny by people are faintly rusted.Most of the inner walls and mansions on both sides of the street have collapsed, and there are black burn marks and dark red blood stains on the remaining walls.

There were unknown birds standing on the treetops on both sides, looking at these people curiously, but not afraid at all.

Seeing this situation, Liu Biao couldn't help feeling sad.

This was also the first time he witnessed the desolation of Luoyang City.

When Dong Zhuo withdrew from Luoyang, he had already arrived in Jingzhou, and with the assistance of Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, he was ambitiously rectifying Jingzhou.He was also very sad when he heard the news that Luoyang was burned.

But if you don't see it with your own eyes, these sentiments always lack some sincerity.

"When Liu Qing was in Luoyang, where did he live? In the city?" Liu Xie asked softly.

Liu Biao turned his head and looked around, raised his hand, and pointed to the east with his whip.

"When I came to Luoyang for the first time, I lived in the home of my former teacher. It was a very small house in a district, just inside the Yanmen."

Liu Xie nodded.

Yanmen is a gate in the southeast corner of Luoyang City. It is very remote. Most of the people living there are ordinary people, and very few dignitaries.

The dignitaries and dignitaries are all near the two palaces. First, it is convenient to go to court, and second, it is close to the government and temple offices, so it is convenient to commute to and from get off work, and it is also convenient to walk around.

Wang Chang is frugal, which is not an empty word.

But Liu Biao obviously did not inherit this excellent quality.

"and after?"

"Later..." Liu Biao was a little embarrassed. "Later, I lived in many places, and I can't remember clearly at the moment."

"Can not remember?"

"Yes, it is."

"Accompanying civil and military, you are older, and you are one of the people who have seen the old scenery of Luoyang City. You must be deeply moved by this situation?"

"Yes, minister... I have mixed feelings, and I don't know what to say."

"I want to entrust you with something."

Liu Biao was taken aback, and looked at the emperor uneasily. "Your Majesty please order."

"You bring a few people and paint this situation into a picture scroll." Liu Xie raised his horsewhip and pointed around. "Then identify clearly where it was and whose residence it was, and mark it out one by one. In the future, it will be engraved into a book and left as a warning for future generations."

He sighed faintly. "Such a big city was burned, the people were displaced, and there were millions of casualties. There must always be some lessons so that future generations will not behave like this."

"Yes, yes." Liu Biao replied awkwardly.

Yuan Shao was the one who decided to call soldiers from prefectures and counties to Beijing, but they couldn't say that they had no responsibility at all, especially on the matter of calling Dong Zhuo to Beijing.

Unlike Ding Yuan and others, Dong Zhuo showed signs of rebelliousness early on, and there was a possibility of losing control.In the fifth year of Zhongping, Emperor Xiaoling wanted to seize Dong Zhuo's military power and conscript him as the Shaofu, but Dong Zhuo refused.In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Xiaoling took the second place and transferred Dong Zhuo to Bingzhou Shepherd, but was rejected by Dong Zhuo again.

But Yuan Shao thought that Dong Zhuo was an old official of the Yuan family, and he did not dare to disobey his orders. He also had strong combat power and could be used as a strong reinforcement, so he resisted all opinions and invited Dong Zhuo to Beijing.

Later results proved that Yuan Shao's move was outrageously wrong. It not only ruined the great man and Luoyang, but also ruined the dreams of the Yuan family and party members for many years.

If it wasn't for Dong Zhuo, where would there be so many twists and turns?

"Where is Yuan's former residence?"

Liu Biao was in a state of confusion, and without thinking much, he just pointed at him casually.

"Let's go and have a look." Liu Xie turned his horse and galloped towards the direction pointed by Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was startled, and then he realized it, but it was too late to regret it.

He secretly complained, but he had no choice but to kick his horse and follow him, his mind turned sharply, thinking of saying something.

Even if Yuan's mansion was burned, it would not be completely burned, and some traces would inevitably be left behind.

For example, the three gates in front of the gate are made of stone.

-

"Tsk tsk..." Liu Xie smacked his lips, not hiding the mockery on his face.

The Yuan's mansion was seriously damaged. One can imagine the scene when it was robbed. I don't know how many people came in and out through these doors. What they brought in were knives and fire, and what they brought out were money and treasures.

With more than [-] members of the Yuan family being beheaded in Chang'an City, the wealth accumulated by the Yuan family for several generations was wiped out.

It should be said that Yuan Shi was lucky.

If it weren't for him as a time traveler, Yuan's would be even worse than it is now.

Not only Yuan Shao would vomit blood and die, but Yuan Shu also died well. His children could only live under the fence with their tails between their legs.

The Yuan family was disloyal to the big man, but the big man was not mean to the Yuan family.

"The residential houses were drawn from Yuan's old house." Liu Xie said, looking at Liu Biao with a little chill in his eyes.

Liu Biao shivered involuntarily and nodded repeatedly.

"Also, the homes of those who were ministers in Huan Ling's life, or who were not as ministers but were well-known party members, celebrities, and scholar-bureaucrats, all had to be painted into picture scrolls and explained, so that future generations can read history. When you can follow the map to find out, it is clear at a glance..."

Liu Xie raised several opinions in one breath, but Liu Biao was submissive and did not dare to refute. The cold sweat on his forehead continued layer after layer, and his underwear was even more soaked, sticking to his body.

"I heard that you have many children, which one do you want to keep by your side?"

Liu Biao was startled, came back to his senses, and said hastily, "The third son, Liu Xiu, is young and good at literature, so maybe he can help me."

"Okay, then let Liu Cong be the boy boy."

"Wei." Liu Biao said bitterly, but he could only bow down and accept the order.

The Son of Heaven only said that his second son, Liu Cong, would be a boy boy, and did not mention the adult Liu Qi at all. He was obviously dissatisfied with him and beat him in this way.

Adults are not needed, only a juvenile who is not yet an adult.Liu Cong's heart has not yet matured, and after following the emperor for a few years, he will inevitably be influenced by the emperor and act differently from him as a father.

As for himself, there is probably only one thing left in his life: lead someone to draw the Luoyang scroll, and at the same time reflect on himself.

Thinking that the next few or ten years will be wasted among the ruins, watching wild pheasants and squirrels haunting, listening to lonely ghosts crying at night, Liu Biao shudders and his back feels cold.

At this time, a knight came running from a distance.

A servant greeted him, took a document, and returned to Liu Xie.

After reading the document, Liu Xie turned to look at Liu Biao, and said something lightly.

"Yuan Shao is dead." He paused, and then said, "I will kill myself."

Chapter 848

Watching the Son of Heaven and his party gallop away, Liu Biao got off his horse and sat down on the steps in front of Yuan's old house. Looking at the three towers, he felt a little complicated and his nose was inexplicably sore.

Not because of what the emperor said, but because of the sudden news of Yuan Shao's death, he couldn't accept it, and Yuan Shao was even more worthless.

He could see that the Son of Heaven did not deliberately target Yuan's interest.

Yuan Kai, Yuan Ji and others were killed, and Yuan Shao had just killed himself. The remaining Yuan Shugan was the emperor's eagle dog.

What the emperor wants to target may be the entire scholar-bureaucrat class.

Including party members, but not limited to party members.

This has gone beyond the level of personal grievances and can only be a reflection on past disasters.No matter how irrational he is, the emperor will not be an enemy of the entire scholar-bureaucrat class unless he wants the world to be in chaos.

Yuan Shao is just a typical example.

But that's where the sadness lies.

In Liu Biao's view, Yuan Shao was no longer a party member, but regarded the party members as his opponent.

Are Partisans a source of disaster?

As a member of the party, Liu Biao would definitely not admit this, otherwise he would not be unable to write articles for a long time, which would affect his future.

But at this moment, sitting in the city of Luoyang, in front of Yuan's former residence, Liu Biao couldn't deny that the celebrities and party members who came in and out of this gate were probably responsible for everything in front of him.

In fact, to a certain extent, he could understand Yuan Shao's actions.

After taking office in Jingzhou, what made him helpless was the constraints.No matter what he wants to do, as long as it is not in the interests of those people, it will not be done.

The more old friends, the more greedy.

Once interests are involved, the usual high-spirited talks will all change. Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are no longer important. The gains and losses of interests are the key to determining whether it is feasible.

When encountering such a thing, he also wanted to kill, but he didn't have Yuan Shao's strength, so he had to swallow his anger and deal with Kuai Yue and others.

"Ah Weng..." Liu Qi galloped over, got off his horse in front of the door, rushed to Liu Biao, and asked out of breath, "Where's the Son of Heaven?"

"Let's go." Liu Biao straightened his waist, and casually pointed to the direction of the east gate.

"How to say?"

"Don't hesitate, go chase Liu Xuande." Liu Biao stood up while supporting Liu Qi's shoulder, and patted him lightly. "Zhongyu is a boy, and he will follow the emperor. Jiyu is not young, so just stay with me."

Liu Qi understood what Liu Biao meant and couldn't help feeling sad.

He had no choice but to accept Liu Bei's invitation.

"Ah Weng, why did it become like this?" Liu Qi's mood became very depressed, and his tone became sharp.

"This is fate." Liu Biao pointed to Yuan's old house. "Look at this house. Once upon a time, people who came to visit Yuan Shao could line up hundreds of paces away. But where are these people now? Only wild foxes and wild dogs are left to go in and out of this gate."

He walked down a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned half-turned, and said to Liu Qi: "I just received the news that Yuan Shao is dead, and Yuan Tan is afraid that he will have to mourn for three years. He will definitely not be able to catch up with the battle of Jizhou." .”

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help sighing, feeling sorry for Yuan Tan.

Thousands of calculations, after all, it is not as good as the sky.

Yuan Shao actually died at this time.

Compared to Yuan Tan, he wasn't too bad.

Liu Qi was relieved for a moment.

-

Taiyuan.

Shi Sun Rui was sitting in the big tent, Wei Jie, Ju Jun and the newly appointed Xu Huang, Guan Yu and others were sitting on both sides, listening to Shi Sun Rui explaining the adjustment plan of the eight schools.

The Northern Army has expanded from five schools to eight schools, and its military strength has also expanded from more than 5000 people to about [-]. It will double in size in the future, involving a wide range of personnel.Before going out, Shi Sunrui must make arrangements.

It will be too late to adjust after arriving in Jizhou.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven gave Shi Sun Rui a lot of face. Not only was the expanded Northern Army still under the command of Shi Sun Rui, but he also only appointed school lieutenants, false school lieutenants and long history candidates. Not too difficult.

All in all, the expansion of the Northern Army this time is more like an opportunity for Shi Sun Rui to make contributions, or it may be seen as the emperor's intention to fulfill his promise and prepare for Shi Sun Rui to take over as the Taiwei.

Under such a premise, even if someone suffered a little loss, they wouldn't care too much about it.

This is the long-cherished wish of countless ministers, and the big can't be lost because of small things.

Besides, when Shi Sun Rui takes over as Taiwei, there will be opportunities to make up for it.

Among the newly appointed captains, Zang Hong and Lou Guiben are scholar-bureaucrats. Although Xu Huang and Xian Yufu are not scholar-bureaucrats, they are respectful and will not deliberately seek trouble.The only one who is a bit troublesome is Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is the captain of the Tunqi school, commanding the heavy cavalry with armored cavalry as the core.

Jiaqi was originally an elite cavalry formed by the emperor, with a total of 150 cavalry. During the war, the three governors of scattered cavalry each led a hundred cavalry. They are the elite of the elite.This time the Northern Army expanded, and the emperor transferred [-] cavalry to the Northern Army, under the command of Guan Yu, which greatly encouraged Guan Yu.
