As soon as Yu Xian went out, he saw Gong Yejing wearing leather armor and riding a horse to follow.
After wearing a military uniform, this girl looks very dashing.
"Why are you following me?"
Yu Xian was a little puzzled.
Gong Yejing said confidently, "Let me see what you are doing."
Yu Xian shrugged, "Go find Lu Bu, what else can you do?"
Gong Yejing followed up and rode alongside Yu Xian.
She looked at Yu Xian with a pair of dark eyes, "You haven't said anything yet, why are you looking for Lu Bu?"
Yu Xian didn't want to answer this kind of question at all, but his body was very honest.
"Go get some money."
"Get money?" Gong Yejing's eyes lit up.
Yu Xian rolled his eyes at her.
Gong Yejing perked up and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I think you look a bit like you."
Yu Xian was too lazy to pay attention. Since Gong Yejing was willing to follow, he just let her follow.
Yu Xian lived in Xicheng, Luoyang. The people living in this area were businessmen with some spare money. Their houses were beautifully built, but they did not have enough social status to protect themselves.
Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers fell in love with this area as soon as they entered Luoyang.
The large and small military attaches in the Xiliang army drove away the merchants and occupied the houses here.
Li Su's mansion was not brought here by his own gang, but after Li Su was quickly promoted to Huben Zhonglang General by Dong Zhuo, the officials of the Shaofu sent people to help him settle it.
Although it has been uninhabited for a long time and is a bit shabby, there are many courtyards, enough to accommodate Li Su's troops.
The place where Lu Bu lives is still some distance away from Xiliang soldiers.
Although those Bingzhou soldiers and horses turned to Dong Zhuo, they were not put into great use by Dong Zhuo.
Except for Lu Bu, who won Dong Zhuo's appreciation for his extraordinary martial prowess, the other Bingzhou generals were not promoted.
In addition, during the previous melee in Luoyang, the Xiliang soldiers directly affiliated to Dong Zhuo and the Bingzhou army who surrendered to Lu Bu had fought fiercely, and there was great hatred between them.
Therefore, the relationship between the two armies under Dong Zhuo's command can be described as fire and water.
Fortunately, Lu Bu was in charge, and Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo agreed as father and son, so the fierce conflict between the two armies was temporarily suppressed.
But the gap between them is already deep.
The place chosen by the military attaché in Bingzhou was naturally some distance away from the Xiliang Group.
When Yu Xian arrived at Lü Bu's house, he realized that Lü Bu had been traveling abroad these days. Occasionally he would not go home to spend the night when he returned to the city. He would always leave in a hurry after seeing Dong Zhuo.
Yu Xian inquired about the location of Lu Bu's camp outside the city. He looked up and saw that the sun was still early, so he made up his mind to go and investigate in person.
Yu Xian urged his horse forward leisurely. When he came out of the territory occupied by warriors, he immediately felt a tense atmosphere.
Soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army were everywhere in the city.
From time to time, cavalry galloped like the wind and surrounded various intersections under the roars of the military commanders.
Gong Yejing looked at it and felt curious, so he came up and asked, "What are you doing?"
Just as Yu Xian was about to answer, dozens of Xiliang soldiers in front of him slammed a long tree trunk into the door of a house.
Then, he broke in through the door amidst the cries of the people inside.
Yu Xian was not in a hurry to answer Gong Yejing, but reined in his horse and stopped to watch for a while.
Yu Xian and his soldiers were all dressed in standard Xiliang soldiers' uniforms, and Yu Xian's bright armor and red cloak also showed his status as a high-ranking military general. No one dared to provoke this person.
After a while, a string of people were escorted out of that house.
All men, women and children, old and young, had one hand tied up and weeping, connected to a long rope.
When everyone was tied up and standing, a small official who looked like a civilian military officer came from nearby on horseback. He first asked the name of the head of the family, and then recorded it with bamboo slips and compiled a household register.
The Xiliang soldiers waited impatiently until the civilian military attaché finished counting the people and handed over the people to people who looked like government officials. Then they cheered and rushed into the house again.
When people came out again, everyone was carrying valuable items in large and small bags. There were silks wrapped around their bodies, large packages of copper coins tucked in their arms, and jade and bronze items carefully held in their hands.
.
Seeing the appearance of these people, the sergeant in charge of military law immediately rushed over with a whip and beat them randomly.
The military commander who led the troops also yelled and yelled at everyone to put down the property and quickly went in to search.
The soldiers were unhappy and could only curse and continue to rush in excitedly to loot the property.
A family's savings of hundreds of years were robbed in just a short period of time.
The silks, money boxes, rice grains, collections, and fun things piled outside the courtyard almost formed a hill.
Yu Xian shook his head and sighed, "Let's go."
A few people were riding horses, but within a short time, they had already seen several such scenes.
Yu Xiang explained a few words to Gong Yejing.
"Dong Xiangguo plans to retreat to Chang'an. Firstly, he can avoid the front of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Secondly, by leaving Luoyang, he can also cut off the foundation of those local powerful people. Thirdly, he can return to Dong Xiangguo's sphere of influence. Once the imperial court moves to
In Chang'an, with one thing going down and the other going up, both the Kwantung Allied Forces and the scholar-bureaucrats in the DPRK have nothing to do against Dong Xiangguo."
Gong Yejing was surprised after hearing this, "But what does this have to do with ransacking homes all over the street?"
Yu Xian sneered, "Dong Zhuo grew up in the bitter cold land of Xiliang. How could he have seen the prosperity of the Central Plains? After hundreds of years of management by the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City was like a fairyland in the eyes of the Xiliang Group. Now Dong Zhuo is leaving.
Naturally, he couldn't bear to part with the prosperity that he saw, so he planned to move the entire city of Luoyang to Chang'an."
"I heard that Dong Zhuo is making plans for the bones of dead people outside the city. He plans to let Lu Bu dig up the imperial tombs of past dynasties and the graves of scholar-bureaucrats, and search for gold and silver treasures from them."
Gong Yejing frowned after hearing this, "Dong Zhuo is so rebellious, I'm afraid he won't last long. Senior brother, do you think we should leave this muddy water?"
Yu Xian shook his head, "Let's take a look and then talk. There is no peace anywhere now."
Yu Xian clamped the horse's belly hard and took the lead.
Several others quickly followed.
The city of Luoyang was huge, and Yu Xian ran for a long time but still could not get out of the city.
The scenes I saw along the way became more and more tragic.
Countless people cried and were expelled from their homes, then bundled, registered, and placed in specific places.
All the hard work they had accumulated over generations was looted by the Xiliang soldiers, then loaded into trucks and slowly gathered into the Xiliang soldiers' camp.
Yu Xian looked at the people, and then at the Xiliang soldiers who were wreaking havoc everywhere.
…
Then he looked at Gong Yejing.
Gong Yejing was chilled by Yu Xian's strange gaze, "Senior, senior brother?"
Yu Xian lowered his voice and said with strange eyes.
