"Uncle Liu Huang is truly the best general in the world! I am not as good as him!"
At Guangcheng Pass, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel emotional after learning about the battle at Dagu Pass, as well as the results and losses.
To be able to make Xu Rong, who has always been extremely confident and arrogant about his military abilities, sigh up to the sky and say such words, it can be seen how much Liu Cheng was shocked by Xu Rong this time!
Liu Cheng's previous records were easy to say. Except for the battle against Fang Yue and Pan Feng, which he personally watched, the rest were only heard about.
Although I also feel that the achievements are dazzling, after all, I only heard about it and never saw it with my own eyes.
Feelings and the like are naturally not too strong.
But it's different now. This time, he personally led the troops and fought with Sun Jian here for a long time. He felt Sun Jian's strength personally.
As a result, under such circumstances, he was bitten hard by Sun Jian before he left, causing many soldiers and horses to be damaged.
Uncle Liu Huang, who had arrived with his troops from afar, quickly sent out troops that night and defeated Cheng Pu's troops outside Dagong Pass in one fell swoop, and figured out Sun Jian's next plan.
If it weren't for Li Li's insistence on not listening to the emperor's orders, which resulted in the loss of many troops, Liu Huangshu's side would have returned with a perfect victory this time.
In the same battle, after such a comparison, people can immediately see the gap between themselves and the emperor's uncle...
Faced with this fact, even Xu Rong, who has always been proud, has to admit that he is indeed inferior to Uncle Liu Huang in terms of leading troops in battle...
…
Liu Cheng once again led his troops and horses to leave from Dagu Pass. However, when he left, the battle flag he brought with him was still not taken away, but was left behind at Dagu Pass.
This is what Dong Zhuo specifically told Liu Cheng to do after he learned about Liu Cheng's previous operations at Sishui Pass.
It was used not only to intimidate people like Sun Jian, but also to confuse many rebels so that they could not find where Uncle Liu Huang's sharp blade was, thus making many people fearful...
Liu Cheng did not lead his troops to Guangcheng Pass to see Xu Rong or have any friendly exchanges with Xu Rong.
He just sent a messenger and delivered his personal letter.
After doing these things, Liu Cheng led his troops and rolled all the way towards Luoyang.
This time, Liu Cheng, who was almost on the verge of achieving the achievement of "passing through the house three times without entering", did not lead his troops and horses rolling past Luoyang like he did before.
It wasn't that he wanted to return to Luoyang so much at this time, but because Dong Zhuo had said in a letter before that after solving Sun Jian's threat in the south, he asked Liu Cheng not to rush back to Sishui Pass immediately.
Instead, he wanted to make a trip to Luoyang first and take the time to book his wedding date with his granddaughter Dong Bai.
Before Liu Cheng was engaged to Cai Yan, Dong Zhuo was not anxious at all.
I even want to think about it more.
Now that Liu Cheng and Cai Yan were engaged, he, as a grandfather, immediately couldn't sit still.
He also wanted Liu Cheng to get married to his granddaughter as soon as possible.
Although he knew that the matter between his granddaughter and Liu Cheng was settled, Dong Zhuo still felt uneasy without going through the engagement process and going through a formal occasion.
Dong Zhuo also said in his letter to Liu Cheng that he did not need Liu Cheng to prepare any betrothal gifts. Nailing Nan Mian there and not leaving, and defeating and driving away the extremely annoying Sun Jian, was the best betrothal gift!
After reading this news from Dong Zhuo's letter, Liu Cheng couldn't help but scolded Dong Zhuo for being so shameless.
After all, compared with such a great achievement as defeating Sun Jian, how much does it cost to pay a betrothal gift?
He felt that Dong Zhuo, a shameless guy, just couldn't remember to reward himself with other official titles or titles, so he took this opportunity to blacklist the rewards he deserved.
Dong Bai, who is white and tender, soft and fragrant, and also likes to carry a little flower dog, how can he be so cute with real rewards such as money, official titles, etc.?
However, in his heart, he complained and scolded, and Dong Zhuo, a shameless guy, said so, so he had to obey.
After all, the first level of officialdom is overwhelming!
Not to mention, this shameless guy forced himself to become his elder by forcefully giving his granddaughter to him and warming his bed...
Although he felt drained of blood in his heart, in the current situation, Liu Cheng could only pinch his nose and reluctantly accept it.
If this thought in Liu Cheng's mind were known to others, I don't know how many people would turn red with envy and curse at him, turning the word "shameless" into a word specifically used to describe him.
After all, Dong Bai is Dong Zhuo’s only granddaughter!
The only one among the three generations of the Dong family!
In ordinary times, I am really a being who is loved by three thousand people!
Such a good match is something that many people can only dream of.
As a result, you got lucky and ate magpie excrement, but you are still here picking and choosing, despising this and that.
You are really not a son of a man!
…
When Liu Cheng led his troops and arrived twenty miles away from the south gate of Luoyang, he met the people sent by Dong Zhuo to greet him, the general who had returned with a great victory.
The person who came to greet me was of high status.
The leader was Wang Yun, Prince Shi of Shangshu Ling, followed by many other officials.
There are also many young talents of the new generation serving as officials in Luoyang.
For example, Xun You, the grandson of Xun Shuang, Liu Fan, the eldest son of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and Sima Lang...
Liu Cheng looked at the scale of the reception and was filled with emotion for a moment.
These are all famous entities in history.
Now he has gone out of the city for twenty miles to welcome himself and wash away the dust for himself!
All of them have become their own foil!
This feeling... is really good!!
Even though Liu Cheng dealt with Boss Cao at the beginning and went through many things later, at this time, looking at Wang Yun, Liu Fan, Xun You and others who greeted him with a smile, he felt in his heart
It still gave rise to a lot of joy and emotion.
The team marched all the way, and when they reached ten miles away, Taiwei Huang Wan, Situ Yang Biao, Sikong Xunshuang and other figures of the rank of the Three Dukes of the Han Empire were all waiting here to greet them.
Even though Liu Cheng had already seen the big scene, he couldn't help but be a little shocked after he recognized the people who were greeting him ten miles away from Luoyang.
He didn't dare to ask for help and hurriedly got off the horse.
"How can Liu Cheng be so virtuous? He just won some small and inconspicuous victories. How dare he bother the princes to come and greet him?
Liu Cheng really can’t bear it..."
Liu Cheng saluted these people, and then he looked ashamed, flattered, and said sincerely.
Even though he was feeling so happy at this moment, it was hard for him to reveal any of it.
He was very courteous in his words and actions, and there was nothing rude about him.
"The emperor's uncle has fought hard for the country and made outstanding contributions. It is our duty to welcome the emperor's uncle here. It is really a great fortune for us to have a person like the emperor's uncle here!"
After Xun Shuang and others returned the gift to Liu Cheng, Sikong Xun Shuang said to Liu Cheng with sincerity and emotion...
