I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 214 Liu Jian Arrives at the Battlefield
The sky had begun to gradually darken, but there was still an army, and the soldiers, holding torches, were hurrying along the Luoshui River in the direction of Luoyang.

There is no doubt that this army is the five thousand Jizhou army led by Liu Jian himself!Going to Luoyang in the starry night.

In order to seize the time to advance troops, Liu Jian has been marching day and night these days, rushing on his way.

In fact, for ancient soldiers, marching at night is a dangerous move. For soldiers, if it is not a last resort, try not to march at night.

Unlike later generations, there were no street lights in ancient times.

Once it's dark, people's field of vision is extremely limited.

Marching in the wilderness, all depends on the torch in hand and the distance of eyesight.

Getting lost, accidentally falling into the water, or even getting into the mud by mistake, or even being attacked by wild animals, or the team is scattered, these emergencies are extremely fatal for night marches.

However, from another perspective, exercising the army's ability to travel at night can also greatly improve the overall quality of the army.

So Liu Jian also planned to take this opportunity to exercise the overall night marching ability of the Jizhou Army.

Although it is dangerous, from another perspective, it is also training soldiers!
It can not only exercise the combat ability of individual soldiers, but also exercise the overall quality of the army.

A group of soldiers and horses were in a hurry, but they suddenly heard Zhao Yun shouting to Liu Jian: "Master, what do you think is that?"

A knight next to him handed over a torch.

Liu Jian passed the torch in the direction Zhao Yun was pointing at, looking at the corpses floating from the upper reaches of the Luoshui River to the lower reaches.

Although it was dark and it was not very clear, Liu Jian could still see clearly that those corpses still dripping with blood seemed to be wearing luxurious clothes, and they were not ordinary Li Shu.

And the body wasn't just one.

"Let the three armies rest for a while!" Liu Jian immediately gave the order.

Then, he looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, immediately arrange for people to intercept these corpses in the shallows, try to intercept as many as possible, I want to see if there is anyone I know."

"Here!"

Zhao Yun immediately climbed over the mountain and got off his horse, and then called a group of soldiers to intercept the corpses floating down from the upper reaches of the Luoshui River.

Liu Jian dismounted from his horse and stood on the shore to inspect.

Not long after, I heard the sound of horseshoes, and saw Zhang Fei riding the Youzhou Wuzhi Heiqi, turning back from the front and coming to Liu Jian's side.

"Brother! Zhang He and Gao Lan's front vanguards have stopped. Let me come over and have a look. Why did you suddenly stop the army!"

Liu Jian pointed to the corpses that were brought up, and said, "Look!"

Zhang Fei squinted his eyes and wondered, "What's so interesting about this, but they are all dead!"

Liu Jian frowned and said: "For no reason, why are there so many expensively dressed dead people? It must be related to Luoyang Zhongshi. Let's stop for a while and observe. There will be no harm. There is no need to go too far in life and deeds. Eager for quick success, sometimes it’s better to take a break.”

Zhang Fei smashed his mouth, but said nothing.

In fact, he felt that this matter was really unnecessary.

However, since it is Liu Jian's order, it is better to obey it.

Not long after, Zhao Yun had commanded the soldiers to intercept some corpses ashore and placed them in front of Liu Jian.

Liu Jian reached out to take the torch from a soldier next to him, then squatted down and carefully observed their clothes.

Do not know, no one is known.

However, looking at their clothes, they are the same as those worn by the Huangmen in the palace.

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows lightly, and then ordered the soldiers, "Take off your pants."

"what?"

The soldiers didn't react for a moment.

What does this mean?
"Take off their pants!"

"Here!"

After pulling off the pants of several dead people, Liu Jian confirmed their identities.

Sure enough, they were all eunuchs in the palace.

From this point of view, although we don't know the extent of the chaos in Luoyang City right now... But there is no doubt that Luoyang City is indeed in chaos.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian immediately ordered Zhang Fei: "Yide, go and tell Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to march quickly and go straight to Luoyang, but don't go to Luoyang City yet, let the vanguard search along the vicinity of Luoshui first. Let's see if we can find..."

Before Liu Jian finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in the river: "Come, come and help! There are living people here, there are living people!"

Liu Jian's spirit was shaken immediately, he turned his head hastily, looked into the river, and said loudly: "Go and help!"

Zhang Fei smacked his mouth in the back, and sighed, "Good guy, it's really not easy to survive in such a big water!"

The soldiers around Liu Jian went into the water one after another, and after a while, they dragged three people ashore.

These three people are dying at the moment, one adult and two children, especially those two, a man and a woman, all dressed in luxurious clothes, they are not the same.

Liu Jian took the torch, first looked at the adult's face, and was shocked.

He made some plans, and suddenly figured out something in his heart.

Afterwards, he hurriedly said to the people next to him: "Everyone disperses, everyone disperses!"

Then, he came to the boy first and squeezed his chest hard.

The river sprayed out of the boy's mouth continuously, and then he went to give the boy artificial respiration, and finally the boy's eyes finally opened slowly.

Liu Jian did the same thing for the girl. Although it took a little longer, she was finally revived.

Although the other party was a child, it was somewhat embarrassing to give her artificial respiration, but he was in a hurry to save someone's life, so he couldn't take much care of it right now.

After the girl woke up, she immediately resisted, and hurriedly got up and hid aside.

Liu Jian withdrew back, glanced back and forth at the two children, finally he looked at the boy, and saluted him: "Your Majesty, do you still remember me? I used to have a relationship with the King in the late emperor's palace. "

Chenliu Wang Liu Xie looked at Liu Jian carefully for a while, and suddenly called out: "Uncle Huang!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Liu Xie crying and threw himself into Liu Jian's arms, crying bitterly: "Uncle Huang! You are here!"

The girl at the side was still a little scared just now, but now seeing the boy like this, she said in a low voice: "Your step, are you also a member of the Han clan?"

Liu Xie got up from Liu Jian's arms, wiped away tears, and said: "Sister-in-law, this is the shepherd of Jizhou who was appointed by the late emperor. Liu Deran!"

Tang Ji was delighted when she heard the words, and the nervous expression just now dissipated.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for saving me!"

"It turned out to be Your Highness, my minister Liu Jian, and I pay my respects to Your Highness!"

At this moment, Zhang Rang on the side suddenly coughed heavily, turned his head and spit out a mouthful of river water, and then he slowly woke up.

Liu Jian looked at Zhang Rang with a half-smile, and said, "Master Zhongchang, let's meet again? How can we never meet again in life! Servant Zhongchang is so lucky!"

Zhang Rang looked at the speaker with erratic eyes, but he didn't react at first.

But then, I saw him suddenly screaming strangely, and exclaimed:
"Liu Deran!"

"Zhong Chang Shi, it's been a long time. I never thought we would meet again alive. How has Zhong Chang Shi been?"
