My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 318 Self-destruction Wang Jingxing

On April [-], the army going south was divided into three groups. The Youyan army went from Rongzhou to Zhangzhou to cross the Hun River, while the Tang army went south from Lingzhou, passed through Guqiu County, and then crossed the river through Junzhou to enter the Central Plains.

Two cavalrymen from Lu Bu and Zhao Yun followed the imperial chariot and Youyan's army southward.

After passing through Ding'an City, Su Chen went to the city to pay homage to the Su family's ancestral temple, and then visited Jiang Wan's mother and son who had settled here. In the early morning of the next day, they visited Xun Yu, Sun Shuwu, Xu Qinghu, Zhang You and others. After seeing him off, he set off to Zhangzhou.

The mighty team, with flags stretching out, the caravans passing by on the official road had long been evacuated by the running scouts or the government officials from nearby counties. Only the farmers in the fields were left, continuing to work, but when they saw the emperor's guard of honor approaching, they stopped one after another. Make the next move and kneel down on the edge of the field.

Stretching like a long dragon, there were two carts in the middle, one was the ancestral coffin and the other was the emperor's chariot. The curtains of the cart were slightly raised. Su Chen looked at the figure kneeling in the acres of fields outside, frowning slightly.

So, he called Wu Zixun softly: "Say hello to the counties and counties along the way. Don't let the farmers kneel down, and don't delay the farming work."

"Yes!"

Wu Zixun went down with the order, and soon the knight rushed out with the emperor's order.

Flags with white dragon patterns on a black background were flying, and the long dragon-like team continued to move forward. In the imperial chariot in the middle, protected by the might of the tiger guard, Su Chen flicked the sleeves of his elastic robe and smiled at the two old people drinking tea in the car:

"To be honest, I don't like to have poor people kneel down every now and then. Being an emperor is a matter of pomp and dignity, but it's boring to do this in front of the people."

Su Chen continued to serve tea and took a drink: "I know what you want to say. If the emperor does not make people afraid, others will not be afraid of the court, and people will be difficult to manage. This is the truth, but we must govern the people benevolently. They They are the most grateful group of people and also the simplest group of people!”

"Your Majesty, I feel very much in my heart." Jia Xu put down the tea cup and said, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed, he looked more and more like a fox. He was more than 70 years old before, but now he looks like a fox. Just in his early fifties.

"The military exercise of the three armies is also a fantastic idea. It uses force to frighten the four countries and imprint on them the strong soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom. In the future, when they fight with His Majesty's army, they will appear timid and hesitant."

There was another person in the car, Wang Lang. He echoed: "Your Majesty has all the martial arts skills and strategies. He is also young and strong. Unification of the world is just around the corner."

"Situ and Lieutenant also want to compliment me?" Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

Wang Lang straightened his face: "These are honest words, not empty talk."

The car was quiet for a while before Jia Xu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have been curious in my heart. I wonder if I can ask Your Majesty in person?"

"Please tell me, Lieutenant."

Hearing that this old fox was also curious about something, Su Chen became curious and wanted to hear what he wanted to ask.

The latter looked at Su Chen for a moment, then stroked his beard and asked: "Your Majesty... you also know that Xu used his tricks in the past and did not know the future generations. How do you evaluate Xu?"

"I want to know too." Wang Lang said the same thing after listening for a moment.

It's okay that Su Chen was stunned by Wang Lang, but he didn't expect that Jia Xu also cared about this?
Seeing the expression on Su Chen's face, the latter laughed twice, "Xu is also an ordinary person, and he also has emotions and desires. Naturally, he also values ​​his reputation before and after his life, and also cares about the opinions of others."

"Lieutenant really want to hear it?"

"Your Majesty, it's okay."

"Later generations often say that Jia Xu used ruthless tactics, could win with one blow, and was an unparalleled strategist."

Jia Xu lowered her face, but there was still a glimmer of light in her eyes. She raised her face slightly, stroked her beard, smiled and nodded: "Look good."

"Your Majesty, what about me?" Wang Lang quickly put down the tea cup and looked at Su Chen opposite, "I went all the way north from Jiangdong to the Central Plains, went through many hardships, sat in the position of Situ, and can still go out with the army..."

"You were scolded to death by Zhuge Liang."

Wang Lang's words came to an abrupt end. He opened his mouth, sat back and picked up the tea cup again. He tasted it lightly, and it took a while before he managed to squeeze out a sound.

"Now, I'm not afraid of him!"

Su Chen smiled and said nothing, but after crossing the Hun River and entering Luyang in the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang was there. I wonder if the two will start arguing again when they meet.

Thinking about it, the world has changed, so they shouldn't start scolding each other.

The shaft of the carriage creaked and turned, the carriage swayed and undulated with the uneven road surface, and the green leaves of the foothill forest on the side were swaying gently in the wind.

There was a long queue on the official road, and there were many caravans and pedestrians on one side who stopped to watch. Not far from the queue, there was a cavalry troop, a general named Lu Bu. He was riding a red rabbit in high spirits, and he was riding across the river with a painted halberd. Hanging on the side of the horse, it made a slight collision with the quiver as it rose and fell.

There was another rider beside him, a girl riding a red horse, wearing a red military uniform with two levels of armor, a golden crown on her head, her green hair tied into a ponytail, flying behind her head, holding a crescent halberd in her hand, facing her father Lu Bu's side The Tianhua Halberd is much lighter.

The war horses ran freely in the field on one side of the team, and the girl on the horse smiled softly like a spring breeze.

"Dad, this world is indeed a little different from our time."

"Haha, it's different, but more enjoyable and comfortable!" Lu Bu slowed down his horse and looked back at his daughter, who was following closely. His usual majestic look was now filled with smiles.

Even the String Controlling Wolf Riders behind them clearly felt it.

However, since Lu Lingqi came here, the feeling of embracing her relatives again made Lu Bu a little bit nagging. He took his daughter to visit each house, let everyone meet and get to know each other, and tell others that this is his daughter. Bully her!
This time when I went south to practice martial arts, I also took her with me, as if I was afraid that if I turned around, my daughter would disappear.

"Dad, when you come to this world, my daughter feels that she has changed a lot." Lu Lingqi is less than ten years old. She is young and beautiful, but she is not ignorant. During the time when she followed her father on the road, she watched her father change from a high-spirited to a high-spirited person. The unparalleled general gradually became decadent and became an alcoholic.

After spending more than ten days together, she clearly felt that her father was no longer scolded as a slave with three surnames. He had also made good friends and gained respect that he had not had before. When she first came here, she saw that Zhao Zilong had a relationship with his father. While talking and laughing, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws together. When they heard that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were here, as well as Cao Cao's generals, they suddenly had the illusion that they were back in Xuzhou, and almost tried to dissuade their father from protecting themselves... …

"Of course a lot has changed. Dad died once..."

Lu Bu slowed down his horse, raised his halberd and walked side by side with his daughter. Looking at the cavalry under his command running ahead, the smile on his face gradually faded, and there was a faint thought on his face.

"...One must live with understanding. To understand is to know what one wants and which path to take! My father gradually understood this truth here. Guess who woke me up?"

"Kuan?"

Lu Lingqi held her moist chin between her fingers, "Is it Zhang Fei?"

"That ring-eyed thief only knows how to curse, but he can't reason." Lu Bu sighed, and then said his name: "It's Dong Zhuo."

Lu Lingqi's eyes widened on the horse.

"Dong... Dong thief?"

"You didn't expect it, did you? As a father, I didn't expect that a violent person would change so much." Lu Bu was no longer so surprised. He smiled: "When I get to Luyang in the Central Plains and see him in person, I will be even more surprised. surprise."

The father and daughter were talking when a white horse galloped up from the side. There was also a female general on the horse, wearing white robes and white armor, carrying a sharp spear, with a ponytail, and a brown forehead band wrapped around her forehead. He raised his chin at Lu Qiling.

"Lingqi, ride with me for a while."

The female general on one side had recently met in Yanjing. Lu Lingqi met her when she followed her father to visit Zhao Yun. She knew that she had just arrived and was good at martial arts. In addition, her father was familiar with Zhao Yun. During her few days in Yanjing, she often They will find each other, visit Yanjing City together, and become familiar with the environment.

"Just ride!"

Lu Lingqi clamped her mount, and the red horse galloped out. Ma Yunlu laughed, and like his brother, nodded to Lu Bu, and rode after him.

Hearing the woman's laughter, Zhao Yun was talking to a few scouts. He turned his head and glanced. In the middle of the marching team, two female generals, one red and one white, were galloping on their horses on one side of the army.

He sent the scouts away, and like Lu Bu, the smile never broke on his face. It was probably the happiest time here.

The unique laughter of a woman was extremely sobering in an army that was all men. Li Xuanba looked at the two female generals galloping glumly, and he felt angry again when he remembered being scolded by his second brother more than ten days ago. .

He turned his head and saw the young general lying on his side on the horse. He smelled slightly of alcohol and was fast asleep. He reached out and grabbed him, lifted him in front of him, and shook him back and forth twice.

"Champion Hou, wake up!"

Huo Qubing was suddenly shaken awake, his wide eyes narrowed instantly, and he reached out to draw the sword. Before he could pull out half of it, he heard Li Xuanba say: "Teach me how to ride a horse!"

The young general caught in his hand didn't know what he thought of, and grinned: "Okay!"

After that, the marching army saw a mighty big man, who directly knocked down the furious war horse, then spread his legs and sat on it. Then the war horse struggled to get up, pushed Li Xuanba on the horse's back, and ran wildly in fright. When Li Xuanba came out, he was lying on the horse and roared "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", trying hard to keep his balance and chasing the team in front of him.

In May, the army marching south passed through the state, receiving supplies from various states and counties along the way, and arrived twenty miles north of Luyang City. Zhuge Liang, Xia Houyuan, Zhang He, and Le Jin had been waiting here for a long time.

Su Chen got down from the royal carriage and stepped forward to greet the two people who were staying here. Xia Houyuan was quite excited and pushed someone out from behind, "Your Majesty, this is my clan brother!"

The man he introduced was tall and tall, a little thin, with gray hair on his temples. He looked at Su Chen with only one eye and raised his hand slightly.

"Xiahou Dun pays homage to His Majesty!"

"General Xiahou!" Su Chen saw too many famous ministers and generals, and his heart had long been calm. When he returned the salute, Jia Xu and Wang Lang, who were following closely behind him, stepped forward. The moment the latter saw Zhuge Liang, they glared. Round eyes, spitting out words.

"Village Zhuge!"

Over there, Zhuge Liang stopped his feather fan. When he saw Wang Lang, his expression was stunned for a moment, "Your Excellency..."

"Zhuge Villager, don't you remember who I am?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, shook his feather fan, and smiled knowingly: "There are countless enemies of Liang with names and surnames, but you don't know..."

"The villagers are arrogant. If you don't know, I will tell you that I am the traitor of the second minister. I am an old thief with a bright head and a gray beard. I have lived for sixty-sixty years in vain. I have not achieved even an inch of merit. I want to take advantage of the Han Dynasty. What's more, I am shameless. Wagging your lips and bulging your tongue in front of you, barking!"

Wang Lang spread his hands: "What can you do to me?"

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth slightly, and the crane fan in his hand couldn't help but fall down.

Everyone around him, or Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others who were coming forward, also looked at him blankly. Xiahou Dun on the opposite side quietly approached Xia Houyuan, his clan enemy, and asked, "Why is this old guy here too... What happened next?"

"I don't know, I was already dead at that time. Fortunately, I died early..." Xia Houyuan buried his face.
