"Luoyang...I see Luoyang again, but I don't know if it will be the last time I see this city of Luoyang..."
Standing in front of the still tall and imposing city wall of Luoyang City, Li Shushi didn't know how he should face it now, because judging from Dong Zhuo's recent performance, the city basically cannot escape its original ending.
.
To dissuade Dong Zhuo from destroying this behemoth and historical site?
It was not that such an idea did not arise in Li Shushi's mind, but it didn't take long before the idea was thrown out of his mind.
Dong Zhuo would not leave this city to anyone, including Li Shushi or even Dong Zhuo himself.
Even if Dong Zhuo completely empties the city of Luoyang, it is not a big problem for the princes. As long as the main framework of Luoyang City still exists, the princes can use this place as a support and rely on.
The fertile soil under Yin's rule in Henan allowed it to re-develop. After all, perhaps what the Han Dynasty lacks most now is refugees. As long as they are given a little living space, it is not difficult to repopulate this city.
Even if it is difficult to achieve the glory and prosperity of the period when it was the capital of the Han Dynasty, it can still become a Damoke hanging over the heads of the Xiliang Army and even the princes of the world - it should be noted that although the chess piece in Tianyuan's position is the worst in terms of efficiency
Yes, but it has the effect of surrounding every corner of the entire chessboard. This situational advantage is sometimes more powerful than the advantage of a few pieces of territory.
Of course, that is in the hands of an expert. If you are a rookie, it is easy to play with fire.
At least, Dong Zhuo, a complete rookie to the central power, lost miserably.
It is precisely for this reason that Dong Zhuo plans to burn this ancient city. Because even if it is possible for him to leave Xiliang again in the future, then what he has to do will no longer be to inherit these ancient but full of decadent heritage, but to
It is a new and vibrant new order re-established on the ruins.
Of course, the above is just Li Shushi's irresponsible conjecture, although he thinks that maybe Dong Zhuo, a strange guy whose heart is also full of romanticism but wrapped in realist behavior, probably has such thoughts in his heart.
But in comparison, he believed that if he asked Dong Zhuo about this issue, the other party would definitely give this answer: Luoyang is really too big. If it is not set on fire, there will be many people hiding in this maze-like place.
In the city, wouldn't I be leaving a great gift to those princes to let them continue to fight against me?
Yes, any family that has been in business for several generations knows the principle of the Three Cunning Rabbits, so God knows how many escape or hiding methods they have prepared in Luoyang City. It doesn’t need to be complicated or how far to escape, as long as they can escape for a while.
A three-hour search was enough. Even though it had been prepared for several months, it still seemed very rushed compared to the huge Luoyang.
After comparing it with the Luoyang in his memory, Li Shushi could clearly feel the desolate feeling that Luoyang now gave him. Although Luoyang was also like this when the Shi Changshi Rebellion just ended, but even in such a hurry on the road
There were far more pedestrians passing by than now, not to mention the huge noises caused by the many places that needed to be rebuilt.
This unusual tranquility gave Li Shushi a sudden strange illusion, as if he was not walking on the stone road in Luoyang City, but on a small road outside a rural village far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. He could not feel a city at all.
The vitality it deserves. Even country people who are completely unfamiliar with Luoyang can feel this contrast.
I really didn’t expect that the capital of a huge and splendid empire would experience three large-scale turmoils in less than two years after the death of the previous emperor Liu Hong. After the three turmoils, the place was already in a state of depression.
It is even possible to be annihilated. This may be the final destination of all splendid and famous people. It is so sad but so helpless.
"It seems that Dong Zhuo's actions have been going on for a while."
Li Shushi whispered to Lu Bu beside him, because not far away from him was Fan Chou who was guiding them to the palace.
Although he just said a few polite words, Li Shushi could clearly feel that Fan Chou was not in a good mood at this moment. Although his gloomy black face that could almost drip with ink should never be made in such an occasion, the other party also tried to
Let yourself smile a little, but as a saying goes, some people do "smile as if they are crying."
This situation made Li Shushi a little surprised, but considering the arrogance of the Xiliang army, Li Shushi didn't say much. After all, after Lu Bu snorted dissatisfied, the other party showed an embarrassed look on his face, but a moment later there was another look.
He looked very worried.
Weird, there must be something weird here!
Of course, this was not the only thing that made Li Shushi feel weird.
Although Li Shushi led his troops to Luoyang without much fanfare, it was not considered sneaky, so the news must have reached the hands of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao and other princes as soon as he set foot on the south bank of the Yellow River.
But when Li Shushi led his troops to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo simply sent Fan Chou to wait for him outside the city gate of Luoyang and told him that Dong Zhuo had no time to see him now, and asked him to contact the emperor about escort matters.
What's going on?!
If this was enough to make Li Shushi confused, then the fact that Fan Chou, who had just sent Li Shushi to the palace, left on his own made Li Shushi completely confused as to what kind of medicine Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were selling in their gourds.
.
So, almost subconsciously, Li Shushi turned his head to the other side of his body.
"Wen He, what do you think?"
"Lord, there must be a big conspiracy here."
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."
Although it was indeed interesting to match Jia Xu's appearance to his speaking habits, but precisely because he had been with him for a long time, Li Shushi knew that Jia Xu, who could talk like this, was probably joking with him, and was in the mood to joke with him.
Jia Xu...you know that even if Dong Zhuo did have some arrangements, they were at least included in Jia Xu's calculations or considered not worth mentioning by him.
Even if Dong Zhuo uses all his troops to surround him in Luoyang City, Li Shushi is not afraid, because... "The greatest and most beautiful and lovely Tamago-chan and the super invincible and beautiful Ms. Luo He, what do you have?"
Did you find it?"
Although Li Shushi did not want to play such a shameful and shameful game in front of the public, the two strange creatures with extremely ferocious strength but really beautiful girls raised their fists slightly. Whether it was the powerful Lu Bu or Xu Chu, they were still loyal.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun immediately retreated, and Jia Xu had already seen the bad opportunity and fled away.
"Ah woo..." The peaceful sky in Luoyang was suddenly broken by a sad wailing sound.
"Let's see if you still dare to say bad things about others in your heart!" Su Xiaololi, it's a foul for someone who is so good at reading minds!
Once again walking into the Imperial Palace, which represented the highest authority of the Han Empire, Li Shushi also didn't know how to feel about facing this palace, which was obviously brand new in some places.
Is it as a devout courtier? Or is it a former robber revisiting the scene of his previous crime? Or is it as a bystander of certain histories and a witness of certain histories to examine everything in front of him.
There don't seem to be many guards in the palace. Except for one or two very serious armored men who can be seen in some key places, Li Shushi and his party can be said to have unimpeded access, as if entering an uninhabited land.
.
What's going on?
Li Shushi frowned again. He would not think that this was the result of someone's negligence. It should be known that Lang Zhongling, who was responsible for guarding the palace gate, was one of Dong Zhuo's rare and careful people, Li Ru.
It may be normal for this person to forget some small things because he is too busy with various things, but Su Wei Palace is a major matter related to the cornerstone of Dong Zhuo's power, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Ru to have problems with this kind of thing.
But now this situation has happened. What is the profound meaning of this matter?
"Perhaps this is intended to express a sense of confidence to us."
As if seeing Li Shushi's doubts, Jia Xu spoke softly. Although the voice was not loud, it was so clear in the slightly empty environment, and Li Shushi found that he could still hear one or two sounds.
A slight echo.
"Are you confident?"
Lowering his head and muttering to himself, Li Shushi's footsteps stopped unconsciously.
It's not fear of danger or confusion about the future, it's just a sudden curiosity about the young man living in the palace. This curiosity is so unreasonable, but it is like weeds caught in the spring breeze.
It was growing crazily in his heart, and even he himself couldn't explain this strange feeling.
Picking up his steps again, although on the surface it was no different from before, Li Shushi knew that the heart in his body was beating faster and faster at this moment, as if he was expecting something, and as if he was confirming something...
Maybe it's because he has seen too many things in this world that he has never seen before - for example, the notorious traitor and thug in the history of another dimension actually has the intention to make the big man rejuvenate.
Dreams and actions that should be majestic and constantly strive for change. Another example is that a certain foolish king in history may not be as carefree and unburdened as he seems on the surface. Another example is that a famous cult leader actually possesses romanticism.
The idea of equality of color.
So when he was about to face another young man who seemed to occupy a lot of space in history books, but in fact most of them belonged to other people's stories, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this boy who had been using and being used while hiding it all his life.
The boy played back and forth, and every step seemed to be walking on a tightrope, which aroused a lot of curiosity.
And if I remember correctly, this young man's luck is also full of potential, and the three people who also have this characteristic are all emperors of this era, but one who has spent most of his life and set foot on most of the territory of the Han Empire has experienced the most.
It took a lot of hard work to finally get the supreme crown. The other seemed to be the opponent of the previous one, and everything went so smoothly - no matter what
Whether it was the eldest son who died because of his father, or whether his younger brothers either failed to help at critical moments or died young. His road to the emperor was so smooth and open. Although his efforts cannot be denied, when all of this...
When they appear at the same time, you have to admit that this man may really be a born winner, including the fact that he has occupied the most wonderful time of several outstanding women.
Suddenly, Li Shushi felt a strange look shining on his body.
raise your head,
Unknowingly, a young man who was unfamiliar but seemed to have been familiar to him for a long time was standing not far away from him.
