Chapter 823 Goodbye
Under the coercion and lure of Zhang Ji and Ding Chong, Kuai Liang and others had differences.

Some people were overwhelmed with anger and expressed firm opposition, wanting to fight Zhang Ji and Ding Chong to the death and drive them out of Xiangyang.

When did Jingzhou people suffer from such uselessness?

Some people said that since the imperial edict was accepted, the taxes that should be paid should be paid.Support the emperor's expedition to avoid intensification of conflicts.

It is obviously more beneficial to discuss the Jingzhou issue after Kuai Yue and others have made meritorious service and have the qualifications to speak in the court.

The latter attitude is more rational and pragmatic, and has won the support of most people.

Although no one said it out loud, everyone was worried about one problem: the emperor was checking in Luoyang, which was closer to Xiangyang.Could it be that the target you mentioned is not Jizhou, but Jingzhou?

Breaking with the imperial court at this time is tantamount to getting angry, and it is definitely not a wise move.

After "struggling with reason", Ding Chong also made concessions, agreeing to make up part of it first, not all of it.

Ding Chong also ordered in the name of the Hussar General's Mansion, asking Liu Pan and Liu Hu to speed up, lead [-] spearmen northward, accept Lou Gui's command, and rush to Luoyang to participate in the parade.

With the departure of Liu Pan and Liu Hu, Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou was quickly removed.

At the same time, Zhang Ji led his troops south to Jiangling and called the prefects of various counties to see him.

-

Liu Bei reined in his mount, got off his horse, walked quickly to Zhao Yun, and took Zhao Yun's hand.

"Zilong, are you safe?" He laughed, his joy was beyond words.

Zhao Yun was also a little moved.He knew that Liu Bei was a person who was not easily emotional, and the reason why he was so enthusiastic about him was not because he was a general beside the emperor and needed to win over deliberately, but because he was nostalgic.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and I have become more energetic." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "I am here to meet the envoy as ordered by the emperor. I have worked hard all the way."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Liu Bei raised his hands and laughed.He looked around, and the smile faded away with a sigh. "I haven't seen you in ten years. I didn't expect Luoyang to look like this. Zilong, Chang'an...how good."

Zhao Yun also became sad, but he gained more self-confidence. "It's almost the same, but the grass and trees are dry and prosperous, which is natural. But with the rain, the dead trees can turn into spring. It won't be long, and Luoyang will be the same."

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, and then said: "When Chang'an was burned with red eyebrows, Emperor Guangwu established Luoyang as his capital. Now that Luoyang has also been destroyed after Dong Zhuo, does the emperor intend to move back to Chang'an?"

Zhao Yun smiled. "This matter is complicated, and it cannot be explained in a few words. If you are interested, you may wish to speak up and express your views when you see him."

"is it okay?"

"Of course." Zhao Yun signaled Liu Bei to get on his horse, and they rushed to Ping Optimistic together. "The mind of the emperor is very human. Not to mention the important ministers of the clan who have made great achievements like Shi Jun, even the captured traitors, as long as they speak reasonable words, the emperor can accept them."

Liu Bei's heart moved. "You mean Yuan Benchu?"

"It's not just him." Zhao Yun said lightly, "Have you read the mansion newspaper discussing Dutian?"

Liu Bei suddenly nodded.

Although he is busy with military affairs, he usually pays attention to some news from the imperial court, and Di Bao is one of them.He has read many of the above articles about Dutian.Some opinions, he thinks, have reasonable elements.Some opinions were pure nonsense, and even he felt that they were too much.

But the fact that such an article can be published is enough to show that the emperor does not intend to talk freely, and speaking freely is not empty talk.

"Let's pass through the city." Liu Bei suggested, "Such a lesson cannot be ignored."

Zhao Yun readily agreed.

It was his first time to Luoyang, and he had never seen the prosperity of Luoyang.After seeing the tragic situation in Chang'an, I didn't feel too deeply about the ruins in Luoyang.But he agreed with Liu Bei's words and was willing to accompany Liu Bei for a walk.

The burning of Luoyang was by no means Dong Zhuo's temporary atrocity, and there was a deep origin behind it.If Liu Bei can learn some experience and lessons from it, he will be able to build a country overseas in the future, and it will be more stable.

He can't go out with Liu Bei, but he hopes that Liu Bei can go further and achieve greater achievements.

A group of people entered the city through the Middle East Gate, crossed the east-west avenue, and moved forward all the way.

On both sides of the avenue, ruins can be seen everywhere, and there are traces of smoke and fire everywhere. In some places, bloodstains can be seen. It can be imagined how unscrupulous the atrocities committed by Xiliang soldiers in Luoyang were.

After going back to the road, Liu Bei reined in his mount, looked up at the skeleton that had been burned to the ground, and sighed.

"When the two palaces changed, Zhang Rang and others hijacked Empress He and the young emperor, and then went back to the road. It was Lu Ziqian, the former master, who sternly reprimanded under the road, and saved Empress He's life. It's a pity that Yuan Benchu ​​was stern and ruthless. Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he surrendered Luoyang, and Empress He could not escape death."

Zhao Yun looked calm and remained silent.

Zhuge Jin, who was accompanying him, teased Liu Bei and signaled him to stop talking.

At this moment, it is not only meaningless why the queen complains, but it may cause the emperor's displeasure.

Liu Bei woke up with a start, and then smiled at himself, "Zilong, it's because I fell in love with the scene and lost my composure."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yun said lightly: "Facts are facts, there is no need to hide it. If you are free, you might as well record what you saw and heard in Luoyang back then, and hand it over to Lantai. It may be beneficial to write history in the future."

Liu Bei thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Zilong's words are reasonable. Speaking of which, my master was friends with Cai Bojie back then, and Cai Lingshi and I have some connections, so I should go to visit now. If you can provide some information about the past , is also good."

He laughed, then turned his head and said to Zhuge Jin: "That is also my memory when I was young. You don't know how many times I was rejected in order to seek an official position. Yun Chang lost his temper back then. It is said that these high-ranking dignitaries have eyes but no pearls, are confused by false names, and do not know the truth from the false."

Zhuge Jin echoed a few words with a smile.

"By the way, will Yun Chang come?"

"I received the news yesterday that I have arrived in Xiaopingjin, and I will arrive later today."

"I haven't seen him for a few years, and I don't know how he is now." Liu Bei lightly raised his horsewhip and passed under the road.A gust of wind blew off some ashes and landed on Liu Bei's shoulders, but Liu Bei didn't notice it.

After leaving the west city, before crossing the moat, Liu Bei saw two or three thousand soldiers resting on the side of the road.These soldiers did not wear armor, let alone helmets, and the only weapons on their bodies were long knives around their waists.But they stand upright by the side of the road, lined up vertically and horizontally, with a fierce and murderous aura, which makes people shudder.

The soldiers behind Liu Bei were in a commotion.

Liu Bei was also taken aback, and almost raised his hand to give an order to be on guard. With a flash of his eyes, he saw a tall figure with a red face and a long beard.

"It's Yun Chang?!" Liu Bei was surprised and delighted.

Zhao Yun had seen Guan Yu a long time ago, and was also a little surprised. "Yun Chang came so fast, it's a bit like a soldier's speed."

Just as he was speaking, Guan Yu strode towards him, glanced at the soldiers behind Liu Bei, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Xuande, what kind of soldiers have you trained in the past few years? Can such a waste come to participate in the parade?"
