13. This is Luoyang (Part 1)

After the reward is over, in fact, the unit that conquered the Yellow Turban Army should be disbanded. Those who should be disbanded should be demobilized, those who should return to the original team should be returned to the original team, and those who should take up posts in new places need to prepare to take up posts. However, the current situation is a little special.

Zhu Jun wants to take his own soldiers back to the capital to move, because he has been given a new right-hand cavalry general's mansion by Liu Hong. After all, this is the mansion of the second-largest figure in the military after General He Jin. How can I say this? It should look like this. Sun Jian and Li Zhuo are going to the capital to meet with Captain Zhang Wen to prepare for the Western Expedition. Thousands of soldiers who originally belonged to the Northern Army need to return to the Northern Army camp on the outskirts of the capital to build up. Of course, there are also Li Shushi, who had promised to accompany Su Xiaoluoli to have a good tour of Luoyang City, was among several hundred people.

So even after Liu Hong left the camp, after the acquaintances had finished their dinner and drank egg wine, the team heading towards Luoyang was still so huge that Li Shushi, who originally thought that his hundreds of people would be very conspicuous, was completely submerged. In a sea of ​​people.

Of course, there is another brother who has to be mentioned, and that is our poor Liu Bei's children's shoes.

I don’t know whether the inertia of the ever-moving carriage of history is too great or whether Liu Bei’s sense of existence was too weak when he was young. Anyway, although this man has made countless contributions, and Zou Jing and Zhu Jun of Youzhou have also He expressed his merits for him, but still got nothing. Oh no, he still received some rewards of wine, meat and copper coins from the officers and soldiers, and as a "soldier" with outstanding performance, he received a reward of two levels of martial arts knights, which can be regarded as a reward. He is a good citizen with a title of nobility.

But having said that, as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because in the civil nobility system inherited from the Qin Dynasty, in addition to the various marquises with food towns, all kinds of civil nobility could be sold, which led to the proliferation of various civil nobility. The martial nobility was established and the civil nobility was abolished. It enjoys various benefits and benefits. Unfortunately, rulers of all generations who were always short of money still allowed it to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors.

Therefore, Liu Tongshoe, who was almost desperate, had the idea of ​​​​going home and continuing to sell straw sandals. Fortunately, Pan Gong and Zhang Fei were definitely good brothers. They secretly went to Li Shushi and hoped that Li Shushi could help, especially Pan Gong, for his. The sworn brother was willing to do anything. Seeing him looking like he was asking for forgiveness, Li Shushi really didn't know whether to feel guilty or look up to the sky and smile.

In fact, the two of them originally just hoped to work under Li Shushi, because the standard for being awarded a title as a general from the beginning to the end of the Han Dynasty was military merit. Although there is military merit but no backing, for example, in this relatively ruling society like Liu Bei There is basically no possibility of getting ahead, but without military merit, based on the family backgrounds of Liu, Pan, and Zhang, except for Zhang Fei who may become a small county magistrate, the other two have no possibility of getting ahead at all. But Zhang Fei will give up his Two brothers? Obviously impossible.

However, Li Shushi was really afraid of Liu Bei's endless charm, so he found a very good excuse to send Pan and Zhang away, that is, Li Shushi came forward and asked Zhu Jun, who had been promoted to General of the Right Cavalry, to put them into the reserve. Among Zhang Wen's troops during the Western Expedition. Anyway, with the strength of a few of them there, Zhang Wen's hundreds of men would not be a burden.

Regarding Li Shushi's proposal, Pan and Zhang both said they could accept it. After all, compared to Li Shushi's side, they didn't know whether a fight could happen or what scale the fight would reach. Moreover, there were a group of tigers, leopards and wolves around, eyeing the situation for that little military exploit. Different, the current situation in the northwest is quite unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, otherwise Liu Hong would have to wait for Huangfu Song to end the battle in Jizhou and order Zhang Wen to lead troops to the west. Therefore, with the strength of the three brothers, the chance of meritorious service is Lots and lots of it.

And in the end, Li Shushi also told Pan and Zhang, telling them that if Liu Bei still made a lot of contributions but was not appointed, they could go to the predecessor Zongzheng Liu Yu or the current Zongzheng Liu Yan. Anyway, one is loyal to the country, and the other wants to separate one side, Liu How could Pan and Zhang let go of such excellent combat capabilities, not to mention that the Northeast seemed to be in trouble in the next few years.

Liu Bei was very moved by the behavior of the two brothers. He saw the three brothers hugging each other with tears in their eyes. Although the scene was very touching, why did Li Shushi feel like a cold wind penetrated his body? Could it be that he was too philosophical? ♂Have you learned anything yet?

As for Zhu Jun, this loyal minister of the Han Dynasty also expressed his helplessness and regret for Liu Bei's experience. At the same time, he highly praised and affirmed Liu Bei's indomitable spirit. He also said that Taiwei Zhang Wen would only dislike the talents of his subordinates. There are too few people to feel like there are too many people, and emerging generals like the three brothers Liu, Pan, and Zhang will definitely get the opportunity to show off their talents.

So, Liu Bei, who got a new opportunity, couldn't wait to contact Sun Jian, Li Zhuo and others. Of course, the main reason why Liu Bei put Zhu Jun aside was that Li Shushi obviously wanted to talk to Zhu Jun about something. Therefore, Liu Bei, whose main goal had been achieved, was no longer in the way of Li Shushi. Liu Bei's foresight was still very rich in this regard.

"Uncle Zhu, do you think I will cause trouble if I bring so many people to the capital this time?"

This is indeed what Li Shuzhen is worried about now. Although his 20,000 soldiers and more than 50,000 Yellow Turban troops have gone north to Xihe, he still leaves hundreds of elite soldiers beside him. Not to mention, the more than 100 men who were transferred to the Xiliang Cavalry looked murderous. Dian Wei and Xu Chu's men were also not good at dealing with each other, so Li Shushi was very suspicious if these guys walked into Luoyang City. Will he be detained directly under some pretext?

"Haha, I'm telling the truth, don't you think that your group of little guys who are just exposed to the war are worthy of being looked up to? Others dare not say that those in the Northern Army who have retired from the front line The veteran soldiers just call out a hundred or so of the bodyguards around you to get down, and this is also the case when all the captains around you are down. Although the potential of your men is really not that high, they are young and It is indeed rare in the world to be able to transfer to the Xiliang Cavalry without much military career, but it is still not impressive compared to those soldiers who have been licking blood for more than ten years. Besides, you brought Such a small number of soldiers is far behind the number of servants and generals supported by those high-ranking nobles."

In response to Zhu Jun's words, all Li Shushi could do was smile bitterly. Now he understood that, as he said before, the Yellow Turban Army was indeed not a powerful force, but the reason why it was able to sweep across dozens of counties in eight states in the Central Plains was The biggest reason is that the local garrison troops, county soldiers, have serious internal conflicts. Most of them are either empty pay or lack training and actual combat tests. Moreover, most of the county soldiers leading the county soldiers are officials with civilian backgrounds, so they lack battlefield experience.

However, the real strong troops were either located in the center to protect the emperor and ministers who were afraid of death, or they were restrained at the border by foreigners. Dong Zhuo, the only two frontier troops, was completely arrogant. Let's not mention it for the moment. Look, he only brought 5,000 cavalry. It can be seen from this that the Xiongnu Zhonglang generals who went south cooperated with Lu Zhi's strategy to turn around more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops on the plains of Hebei.

Therefore, although Zhu Jun's evaluation of the soldiers under Li Shushi's command sounded a bit harsh, it was probably an opportunity to remind him that the enemy he was about to face was not the Yellow Turban Army, which was just stronger than a certain army known as noodles, but the Yellow Turban Army. Those foreign armies that are extremely troublesome for frontier troops, those powerful troops who have been trained as combat experts since childhood.

Of course, on the other hand, Luoyang is a large city with a population of more than 300,000 households. As the largest city in the world at the time, it was tolerant enough to tolerate those small opponents. It was like a group of gangsters whose number was only a few hundred. The elements marched into Urumqi. If they abide by the law, maybe the government will simply ignore them. But if they dare to cause trouble, I am afraid they will be completely crushed by a ruthless iron fist in a few hours, and then be nailed to the pillar of moral shame. Do not turn over.

Would Li Shushi be bored and engage in such a terrorist activity that is impossible to succeed and even if he succeeds, his life will basically be in danger? Li Shushi thinks that his IQ is not the kind of genius that is worth half the money. Of course, he does not have it. He is interested in becoming Mahou Shaju and then dedicates his life to becoming a great person like Headless Senior. He also hopes to have the opportunity to hold the cute and soft Su Xiaololi in his arms in the future and a certain Zhen who is very likely to grow into B Shaju. Let's watch the sunset together at the beach.

"Luoyang, Chang'an, Wancheng, Chengdu, and Xindu, these were originally the big cities that we had numerous cities in. Unfortunately, Wancheng and Xindu were destroyed by the war. Chang'an was panicked because of the rumors that the Qiang people were about to invade Sanfu, and a large number of people fled. .Although Chengdu is large, it is trapped by the dangers of mountains and rivers and the difficulty of the Shu Road, so only Luoyang City can be called a truly large-scale city. The book is true, go and read it, and experience the prosperity of my great Han Dynasty. That would be a shock you can’t imagine.”

Of course, Li Shushi secretly curled his lips at Zhu Jun's words and did not take it seriously. You must know that he comes from a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and only a fraction of the country's population has already made Han, the third largest person in the world. An empire can no longer bear it. If I told Zhu Jun that a city with a population of three million households would be born in this world, I wonder what Mr. Zhu would think? Would he go directly to a Taoist priest to see a doctor or seek Feng Shui? Sir, let yourself wake up.

However, although I don’t think the current Luoyang City will be any more prosperous than the city in the Steel Forest Era, its fixed population exceeds one million and its floating population is hundreds of thousands. I guess it was probably quite large in the Eastern Han Dynasty when there were no high-rise buildings. Big one.

And the most important thing is that Luoyang has been the capital of the Han Dynasty for more than a hundred years. Cultures from all over the world have gathered and blended here. Therefore, new varieties of culture, entertainment, crafts, and food from all over the world must be seen and developed here. In this way, Su Xiaololi will definitely have a lot of fun.

Although he and Su Xiaololi rarely seem to be intimate with each other on weekdays, he is very aware of everything Su Xiaololi does to him, and his heart that was originally frozen by the steel forest gradually warms up. Perhaps it is because of the long-lasting love. It's a guy like Li Shushi. So when faced with Su Xiaololi's rare willful request, Li Shushi would definitely satisfy it, not to mention that even if it was some willful request, someone would help him kidnap an uncle named Huang Zhong.

Loli brought back a squid, why did Li Shushi always feel that there were new cracks in his moral bottle?

p.s. I got sick again yesterday. Hey, my health has been really bad recently.

p.s. I checked a lot of information in these chapters before leaving Luoyang, hoping to restore a bit of the man's style. Unfortunately, looking back, it was a bit watered down, and it didn't meet my expectations. I always felt like a failure...
