Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1669 Fighting in Hedong
Luoyang City.

Mu Jing wore an ordinary robe, held a folding fan, and walked on the familiar yet unfamiliar street with two dog legs. Seeing everything that was different from others, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

It seems that when I was in Luoyang, it was still yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and the world has already changed beyond recognition.

"Meng Qi!"

Mu Jing spread out the folding fan and shook it twice, he looked a bit like a young man, looked at the strangers on the side of the road, and said with a smile: "Do you know what it was like when I entered Luoyang City for the first time? "

He came out this time, by sneaking out, with Ma Chao and Jin Jiu by his side, and the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion hiding in the dark to escort him, so there was no need to worry about safety.

But if someone finds out, there will be a lot of nagging. How can you take a risk so easily with a body of ten thousand gold?

"do not know!"

Ma Chao answered bluntly.

Mu Jing was suddenly a little bored, this kind of person is very easy to chat to death, but when he became interested, he continued: "The first time I entered Luoyang, I didn't feel very deep. At that time, I only wanted to serve my father Seeking a family background, I feel that it is difficult to achieve great things if you come from a bandit. From the Runan battlefield to the capital of the Han Dynasty, I also experienced a lot of hardships. I looked at the gate of Luoyang City at that time, and I still had feelings. At that time, I just thought , if this city belongs to my father, why should I work so hard!"

"Your Majesty has fulfilled his promise to the Former Lord!" Ma Chao thought for a while and said, "This city already belongs to Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

Mu Jing nodded, but sighed a little: "It's just that my father is gone, I can't see the glory of the Mu family, and I can't see my success, so sometimes, I feel that it's nothing to fight for so much honor and power." significance!"

"The Spirit of the First Lord in heaven can always see it!"

Ma Chao's face became more sentimental: "Your Majesty can at least feel that the First Lord is willing to see His Majesty's honor, but as far as the general is concerned, my father may not be willing to see my name appear among the heroes of Ming Dynasty! "

"Hahaha!"

Mu Jing suddenly burst out laughing, and patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and said very ruthlessly: "You say that, I feel much better, as expected, happiness is built on the sadness of others." Up!"

Ma Chao's expression was a bit ugly. If the person in front of him was not his master, he would definitely turn his face. He had never seen such a bad character. If he was kind enough to comfort him, he would feel comfortable stepping on his feet.

"August Restaurant?"

Mu Jing raised his head and saw a restaurant, he was acquainted with it: "This restaurant has not yet closed down, but its vitality is very tenacious!"

"Your Majesty has ever drank like this?"

Ma Chao curious question.

"No, but I have done business!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of August can be regarded as a member of Jingping Trading Company, one of the Wan merchants, I remember that he was a little chubby guy, and he followed me back then. Based in Luoyang, I opened this August restaurant, and August is picturesque, drinking to talk about the world!"

He strode in.

The scene here should have changed, and there are still some signs of burnt around, which should be a renovated wine shop.

At this time, the atmosphere in Luoyang was a little tense, but after so many years of war in Luoyang, the feeling that the war was about to come could no longer be taken too seriously.

So there were quite a few people in the restaurant.

"Masters drinking, please, this way please!" A young man was very clever, and he went up to meet Mujing, who smiled brighter than flowers when he saw Mujing's unassuming attire, and directly led them into the A box on the second floor, from which you can see the exquisiteness of the entire street, it is the best box in the August restaurant.

Bamboo mats are spread on the ground, and a box is separated by a screen around it. The airtightness is not very good, and the people next door can hear the whole floor when they talk, so it is not really quiet.

Mu Jing knelt down and sat down.

He poured a glass of wine, which tasted a little pure: "The fat man's wine making ability has improved a lot, fruit wine can have such a taste, not bad, not bad!"

The fat man he was talking about was naturally the owner of the August wine shop. His surname was Ding, so his name was Ding August. His family made wine, but he was the one who opened the wine shop.

A restaurant is not just for drinking. In this era, a restaurant is like a big hotel, integrating the functions of drinking, drinking tea, eating, and staying.

The restaurant in August is relatively large, and it can be regarded as one of the giants in the hotel industry in Daming.

"Your Majesty..." Ma Chao originally wanted to address him respectfully, but considering that the surrounding screens were not airtight, he changed his address: "My lord, fruit wine is always bad in taste. This wine shop will not be all fruit bars!"

"There are a lot of other wines, but at present, food is more important, so wine making is also more nervous, they may not have much stock!"

Mu Jing said softly.

Once a war breaks out, food is hard currency, not to mention the major princes, even some wealthy families and merchants, they will stockpile food.

Forget about making wine.

"Fruit wine is good, don't delay things!" Jin Jiu, the captain of Shenwei Battalion who was silent, smiled and said softly.

Ma Chao tasted it again, and the taste was indeed different.

At this time, some messy sounds came from around the screen.

"It's time to fight again!"

This compassionate voice sounded like a gentle scholar.

"The world is chaotic, and war is inevitable!" Some calm voices are enlightening friends: "Brother Tan, don't care too much!"

"Brother, I am not afraid of war. This is under the influence of the war. How many people in Luoyang will die!" The compassionate voice was a little angry: "Over the years, how many people have died in Luoyang, no, it should be Ask, how many Luoyang people can survive!"

"This time the main force of the Ming army is going north, maybe Luo Yang will not be affected!"

A fluke voice responded.

"Hehe, it's a wonderful idea. Now that the war broke out, it will inevitably affect Luoyang. Although the Ming army is a bit strong, it is possible to deal with the princes of the world. I think this Luoyang may change hands again!"

There was a calm voice sounding.

"Not necessarily!"

Someone responded: "The princes of the world have their own strengths, but they can unify the world and end the war. They are the most hopeful for tomorrow. Although the Ming army is insufficient in strength, it has strong fighting power and amazing fighting spirit. It can defeat them." , may not be able to defeat them, even if they are defeated this time, sooner or later they will make a comeback!"

"Mu Ming is just a rebellious courtier and traitor, how can he rule the roost!"

Some scholars who were loyal to the Han Dynasty argued openly: "Looking at the world, only the king of Wei can turn the tide, clean up the mountains and rivers, and recast the glory!"

"Joke, how long has passed since King Wei defeated Wancheng, don't you remember, in this world, whoever has the biggest fist can rule the world, and whoever has the strength of the Ming army has the edge to rob it!"

"The Son of Tomorrow is the one who has given authority from heaven to overthrow the old order and rebuild the new world. The Han Dynasty has long been a thing of the past, and the Ming army will surely defeat them all!"

"The Ming army's background is too weak, and it may not be able to stop the alliance of the three major princes. If this battle is lost, the big man may still have some hope!"

"The defeat of the Han Dynasty is inevitable. Even if King Wei is able to turn the tide, he is King Wei after all, not a member of the Liu Han clan. He will always confront the imperial power. Now it is a situation where the master is as strong as the servant. In the future of the Han Dynasty, the world will have to continue to be chaotic, if the Ming Dynasty can rule the world, it will restore peace to the world as soon as possible!"

"Brother Yan has full confidence in Mujing, but I disagree!"

"Why ask for advice?"

"A bandit who despises etiquette, if he can gain the power of heaven and earth, we scholars, how embarrassing it is, God probably won't let him succeed!"

"It's a joke, why should a hero ask about his background? Your majesty is wise and powerful. He became a talent at a young age. He dismounted from a horse with a lance in his hand, and brought down today's Great Ming Dynasty. Let us, the common people, come back to the day of peace. What a feat!"

"Brother Yan, Brother Tan, you are all from Luoyang. Back then, the shepherds set fire to your home and your relatives. Now, don't you think you are your father?"

"Our relatives died in the war and the burning of Luoyang was a helpless act in the past. If there are complaints, there are some, but there is no resentment for us!"

"We discuss the matter as it stands, why cling to the past, there is no fairness in the war-torn world, if we can end the troubled times, the past can be thrown away!"

"..."

Disputes are everywhere.

Mujing just listened for a short while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help raising a faint smile. It's normal for some people to disagree.

But he didn't expect that Luoyang people could still support him.

He felt guilty about this city. The fire saved him, but it destroyed this ancient capital city.

Although most of the people were either hijacked by Dong Zhuo to go south, or driven out by him, there were still some people who were unwilling to leave and were finally burned in the sea of ​​fire.

In that sense, the people here should hate him the most.

But judging from the situation, the people of Luoyang still have a certain amount of support for him. This makes him very happy, and besides being happy, he is also somewhat moved.

People remember happiness more than pain.

"Your Majesty, the front line hastened!"

A figure came in from the outside, very fast, bowed his head in front of Mu Jing, and reported: "General, please return to Changqiu Palace immediately to discuss the military situation!"

This is the orderly of the Divine Guard.

"go!"

Mujing stood up. The orderly's voice was not low, and it had already startled some people. Many people stood up and stared at him.

He smiled and nodded in return, and then left quickly with Ma Chao and Jin Jiu.

"The one just now was Mujing..."

"Your Majesty's name is taboo, how can you call it directly, so you can't help it, you are not allowed to enter my August wine shop in the future!"

A chubby middle-aged man came out and angrily scolded the person who had just spoken.

He is the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

He looked at that distant figure, with mixed feelings in his heart. As a businessman, Mujing's situation was not something he could resist. Jingping Trading Company was disbanded, and they all gradually left Jingping Trading Company. There was nothing wrong with that, and Not one person betrayed.

However, it is impossible to share joys and sorrows, and it is difficult to speak of wealth and honor. Mu Jing's feelings for the old people of Jingping Trading Co., Ltd. have been smoothed out. It is difficult for them, merchants who are already relatively low in status, to climb into this relationship anymore. .

"It is said that the Son of Heaven has come to Luoyang. I thought it was a misrepresentation. I didn't expect to see it in person today. You are so young!"

"Your Majesty is at such an age. After laying this foundation, the future can be expected. Even if he loses in the first battle, there is still hope. We all support Ming to rule the world!"

"Did Your Majesty hear what we said just now, did you say something wrong?"

"It seems that everyone has said a lot!"

Looking at each other, everyone was a little embarrassed, after all, it wasn't just one person who shouted loudly.

............................................................

After leaving the August restaurant, Mu Jing quickly returned to Changqiu Palace.

The Changqiu Palace is now the Mujing Palace. After the repairs, it is still of a certain scale. The side halls on the side were temporarily cleared out and used as a military intelligence reporting center.

There is a huge sand table in the middle, and the scouts have created the entire northern region in the past two days.

Mu Jing walked in quickly, Zhang Liao was already standing in front of the sand table, looking down at the sand table, Chen Gong and other generals were all there, all of them looked dignified.

Seeing Mujing walk in, everyone saluted.

"His Majesty!"

After Zhang Liao bowed his hands and saluted, he directly told Mu Jing a news: "The news just came from the east of the river that the Yan army has gone south!"

"Hedong?" Mu Jing looked at the sand table and frowned slightly.

He asked: "I'm not surprised that they went south from Shangdang, but I feel something is wrong when they go southeast from the river!"

"Your Majesty, I have asked people to inquire about it. Zhang Xiu has returned to the Northland!" It was Pang De who stood up and spoke: "In March this year, in the north of the Northland, some Hu tribes were in chaos. What happened, I sent people to investigate later, and didn't find too many clues, but in May, I felt something was wrong, and Jing Wusi sent people to investigate, it is possible that Zhang Xiu led the army back!"

"Bei Di? There is no movement in Guanzhong yet, it will be fun to attack Bei Di first!"

Mu Jing sneered: "What does Liu Xuande want to do!"

"They have little chance of winning Guanzhong directly, but if they can nibble at Xiliang, and then attack from east to west, and the main force of the Wei army enters from Hulao Pass to fight, then they have a chance to annihilate our main force in Guanzhong!"

Chen Gong stood up and reported: "Liu Xuande's idea is not new, but since he has such ambitions, he will come out in full force, and our scouts have not been able to detect the main force of the Yan army for a long time, which makes me Don't worry about waiting!"

"Tan Zong?"

In a blink of an eye, Mu Jing glanced at the lame Tan Zong, and asked, "Where is Jing Wusi?"

"It's still poor, but I can figure it out now, it's their vanguard force!"

Tan Zong replied: "The ones coming down from the southeast of the river should be the [-] elite main force led by Zhang Fei and Pang Tong, and they are the vanguard main force of the Yan army!"

"Zhang Yide?"

The corner of Mu Jing's mouth raised a sneer: "The three generals are quite capable, but since he dares to go down to Hedong, I have to meet him for a while, who wants to compete with him!"

The Battle of Hedong must be a test.

But who is testing whom is hard to say.

"The end will fight!"

Lei Hu stood up and said, "The First Army of the Sun and Moon, willing to fight!"

The Sun Moon Army is one of the main forces of the Ming Army, not inferior to the Jingping Army of Mu Jing's direct lineage, and even better in terms of combat effectiveness.
