Xihan Valley and East Hulao are the natural barriers of Luoyang. Together with the two major ports of Jinmen and Guandu, Luoyang City is protected within it, making Luoyang City a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and the place where dragons thrive.
But all this has nothing to do with the group of people in front of them. This group of people supports the old and the young. Although it is already late, the officers and soldiers escorting the group know that the weather is too hot during the day. If they leave in broad daylight, this group of people will
If they couldn't get to Lingnan, they would never have to go back to Luoyang City, so although it was harder at night, it was still much better than during the day.
In the middle of the team, a young man was holding on to an old man with gray hair who was walking staggeringly. These were Liu Ru and Gongsun Zan who were implicated in Cao Luan's disaster. Liu Ru sighed as he walked: "Bogui, you
Why follow an old man like me to go to Lingnan to endure hardship like this? Look at your bright future being ruined by an old man like me. It’s not worth it!” “Teacher, please don’t say that. If it weren’t for my mentor, I, Gongsun Zan, would be here now.
I have long since starved to death in western Liaoning. Where can I read the books of sages? Besides, I followed my mentor and Teacher Lu to learn the Tao of Confucius and Mencius. The king of heaven and earth is my teacher. Now that the teacher is in trouble, how can the disciples not come to take care of me? Please don’t mention the teacher again.
, Disciple’s decision has been made!” Liu Ru sighed and said no more.
In fact, what did Gongsun Zan have in mind? Gongsun Zan was born into a poor family, and his parents died when he was young. He is the eldest son in the family, and has long been responsible for supporting the family. Moreover, in a place like Western Liaoning where all ethnic groups gather, he has seen many people since he was a child.
Gongsun Zan was used to treating human lives as trivial matters, but how could he accept his fate? He took his brothers to worship a veteran in the army as his teacher and practiced martial arts. This happened to be known to Liu Ru, who was the governor of Western Liaoning at the time. When he saw Gongsun Zan
He was ambitious and extremely intelligent, so he became his disciple and studied under him. Later, he was recommended to the imperial scholar Lu Zhi's disciple. But how could Gongsun Zan be so simple?
Gongsun Zan saw an opportunity in this incident. Although the party's disaster was very involved, it was also very serious. Many members of the clan named Liu who had been waiting and watching in the court were suddenly angered. In addition, the emperor was now openly
Calling the eunuch Zhang Rang his father-in-law made the Liu clan feel extremely shameful and humiliated. Therefore, they had secretly contacted each other. As long as the time was right, they would stand up for these people who were imprisoned by the party. Gongsun Zan saw this opportunity, so he wanted to bet on it.
As long as he wins, he will be valued by those in the court who claim to be loyal and righteous. Then won’t his future be bright? Besides, Liu Ru is not an ordinary minister, he is also a Han
As a royal family member, as long as you follow Liu Ru this time, your status in Liu Ru's heart will be at its peak. With this thought, why did Gongsun Zan stage such a scene on Dongdongmen Street?
The purpose of this is to show everyone that I, Gongsun Zan, am a man of great affection and righteousness, and I am fully worthy of my filial piety and integrity.
Gongsun Zan supported Liu Ru and walked in front, but his eyes were directed at a woman behind Liu Ru. This woman was Liu Ru's daughter. She was not easily seen on weekdays. After all, she was an official lady. Between the two of them,
There was a huge disparity in status between the two, but Gongsun Zan had already made up his mind that if he went to Lingnan, he would find a suitable opportunity and propose to Liu Ru before the court rehabilitated the party members. This would be his way to promotion in the future.
Gongsun Zan was thinking about good things, but he heard the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats, interrupting his meditation. As he turned around, he saw a cold arrow shooting towards them. Gongsun Zan was shocked and quickly pushed Liu Ru away.
He pulled out the long sword from his waist and deflected the incoming arrow. At this time, the team was already in chaos. When the escorting soldiers saw it, they all waved their spears to protect these people, while Gongsun Zan kept tight.
The guards are by Liu Ru's side.
There were only a few dozen riders, and the leader was Liu He. When he saw that his arrow was blocked by Gongsun Zan, he was so angry that he vented all his grievances today and roared: "Kill me! One of them!"
Don’t stay!” He said and rushed over.
Those who followed were all good soldiers in the army. Seeing that Liu He had already rushed over, and fearing that Liu He would make a mistake, they all rushed forward and fought with the soldiers. Gongsun Zan had long seen who was taking the lead.
The masked man was the leader of these people. There were many of them, but he was few. If he spent too much time with them, he would surely suffer a loss, so he stared closely at the leader and rushed forward.
Gongsun Zan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Moreover, he studied under veterans in the army. Although these veterans are not very skilled in martial arts, they all have practical moves on the battlefield and are all killing moves. In addition, Gongsun Zan also followed him many times in western Liaoning.
Liu Ru also killed people when he conquered Xianbei and Wu Heng, but nothing could compare to Liu He, a younger brother of an official.
As soon as Gongsun Zan took action, Liu He was frightened. The swords were all at his vital points, so Liu He could only defend. However, the sergeant who followed Liu He saw that this Lord Shangfu's man, if something happened today,
, then people like myself will definitely be buried with him, so he hurriedly came here to rescue regardless of the other sergeants. So in this way, although the escorting sergeants were small, most of them went to Gongsun Zan's side.
, when they did this, the pressure of resistance was reduced a lot.
Although Gongsun Zan faced several times more enemies, how could Gongsun Zan be afraid? Wealth and wealth are in danger. Besides, these people have not yet been noticed by Gongsun Zan. They are just a bunch of rabble. Gongsun Zan is dancing his sword among this group of people.
He swung his sword freely, and every time the sword came out, it carried a fierce murderous aura, which made these people tremble. Although Gongsun Zan swung it wantonly, he was also secretly observing the situation and looking for flaws. Once he found the flaw, he would deliver the fatal blow.
, beheaded the leader off his horse.
The more Liu He fought, the more frightened he became. In the end, he almost ran out of courage. He knew that he had encountered a tough obstacle today. If he continued, he might be killed by this person soon. Liu He wanted to do something big.
How could a man die here before his great cause was accomplished? When Liu He thought of this, he hurriedly waved his horse and retreated. At this time, Gongsun Zan saw the opportunity, and he used all his strength to attack
Liu He waved it away.
When Liu He saw it, he was frightened, but at this moment, he suddenly stabbed the horse's back with his sword. The horse was stung, kicked its hind legs, and ran away. Gongsun Zan's sword also missed.
, but he cut off a jade pendant on Liu He's body. When the other sergeants saw Liu He escaping, they also knew that the man in front of them was highly skilled in martial arts and was not comparable to them, so they all fled on horseback.
Gongsun Zan looked at their retreating figures with a sneer on his face. He remembered what the leader had dropped just now, so he picked it up and saw that the word "Liu" was clearly engraved on it.
