"The mountains and rivers are sunny in the north." He Hou said, "After seeing Mount Lu, you should go to Luyang."

What the Empress Dowager said was the most." He Miao replied.

"In front of people, he called 'Madam'." Queen He reminded again: "The word "Empress Dowager" should not be used again."

"He Miao understood it."

When I entered Luyang County, there were a few cars and horses on the road. After asking, I found out that after the flood receded, there were many powerful mercenaries and horses who had hired horses in the family, recovered the ancestral houses and forts, and transferred wealth, tenants, and reclaimed wasteland.

Although the hometown is difficult to leave, a flood will make nine out of ten houses empty. The people of Luyang will follow the boat to Ji Kingdom and settle in Anbei and Liaohai counties. Each household will be divided into one hectares of beautiful fields and one good house. The cattle, horses and machinery will be used in different places. Before the water in Nanyang recedes, the people will have peace in Ji Kingdom. No one is willing to return home.

The reason is that in the Nanyang Emperor's Township, land annexation, and small people were promoted to the ground, and most of them were tenants. The homes were destroyed and there was no other wealth. Moreover, the clan and neighbors all rushed to Ji State. Ji State is the family and country, and a foreign land is also the hometown.

In a nutshell, seeking profit and avoiding harm is a normal human nature.

Ji Guo’s beautiful land and good houses are hard to give up. However, they are only profitable for the powerful surnames. How can they monopolize the country with the Nanyang, the long-distance fortress and monopolize the country?

Thieves were even more rampant, and the ancestral tombs were not protected. The powerful surnames pledged heirlooms and recruited mercenaries to go south. Most of the cars and horses on the road came from the big surname of Luyang.

There was no government in Nanyang. Emperor Xian of Luoyang was powerless. Emperor Xin of Huainan was too busy to take care of himself.

The powerful surnames repaired the forts, echoed each other, and jointly defended the thieves.

The car arrived at the foot of Luyang City.

He Hou lifted the curtain and peeked. He saw that the city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was destroyed. Many walls collapsed, and the moat had been silted. Although there was no obstacle to passage, there was no danger to guard.

There are three or two old soldiers in front of the door, which is better than nothing.

When the car drove into the city, Queen He ordered Zhao Zhong to ask with kind words.

Hearing the accent of the capital, the old soldier did not dare to neglect, so he answered truthfully.

It turned out that when the flood came, the people of Luyang rushed to Mount Lu to avoid the water. When thousands of boats in Ji State were launched together, they would transport the people. There were elderly people who could not leave their hometowns and were unwilling to bury their bones in a foreign land. When the water retreated down the mountain, they would take care of the city until now.

I heard that a group of people wanted to go to Wancheng.

The old soldier waved his hands repeatedly: When he went to Wancheng, he must go through Bowang. Bowang City is now occupied by bandits, digging ground and digging graves, and robbing goods killed people. The powerful men in Nanyang often traveled in groups. They followed light cars and were seeking death.

Zhao Zhong reported under the window.

He Hou said, "Where did the thief chief come out?"

Zhao Zhong replied, "The old soldier said that it was a remnant of the Yellow Turbans. There were two thieves. One of them was named Zhou and the other was Pei Ji. The two were originally Huang Turbans, but they escaped by chance and gathered in the mountains and forests. They were unwilling to follow Runan and Yingchuan Yellow Turbans to recruit farms. They set up camps and Funiu Mountains to escape from the flood in Nanyang and gathered bandits. Thousands of them had already been there. Zhou Cang was in Bowang and Pei Ji guarded Fangcheng (Liuguan)."

Bowang chasing the "Summer Road in Fangcheng" is the throat of the southward journey to Wancheng.

"Xia Road" is also known as "Xia Road". It means the way to enter the Nanxiang Basin of "Zhuxia". The term "Zhuxia" refers to the vassal states of the same surname as the Zhou royal family in the pre-Qin period. The vassal states of the Zhou royal family who entered the Jianghan River Basin from "Xia Road" is known in history as "Hanyang Zhuji".

"Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of King Yue Jujian", Qi envoy said that King Yue said: "The road to the Xia side is on the left, which is not enough to prepare for Qin." "Suoyin" quotes: "Chu is in Xia, and the road is on the square city. People travel northward, and the west is on the left, so it is said that the road to the Xia side is on the left."

Unlike the current Han Dynasty, which is the right side, and the pre-Qin Dynasty, which is the left side.

"Han Shu Geography": "(Ye County) has a Great Wall, called Fangcheng." In the pre-Qin period, the State of Chu built the Great Wall along the northeast foot of Funiu Mountain. Fangcheng blocked the pass of the Great Wall of Chu. It was the only way to enter Nanyang in Yingchuan and Runan.

In other words, Zhou Cang and Pei Ji, who were under the garrison of the pass, set up their own doors and did not communicate with the rest of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou. Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou. In this way, there must be gaps between the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou and the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, and even never interact with each other when they are old and die.

The summer road was broken and there was no hope of going south.

However, He Hou did not give up and asked again: "What is the reputation of Bowang's thief chief?"

Zhao Zhong replied: "I heard that the thief chief Zhou Cang was from Dayang, Hedong. He was poor and sold private salt to make a living. His arms were powerful, with a thousand pounds. He had sword eyebrows, a ringed eyes, a black face and a curly beard, and he was generous in nature. He was known as his bravery."

The Empress Dowager said: "Since you are a righteous thief, how can you make things difficult for an orphan and a widowed mother?"

Zhao Zhong advised: "The Empress Dowager went south alone without any guards. How could she be in danger with her own body? Luyang was where Yishui came. Hanyuan soldiers and horses came forward against the source and came to the starry night. If she went south at this time, she might miss her hand."

The Empress Dowager then explained her scheming: Luyang is close to Luo, and there is no way to hide it. Before Dong Zhuo pursued his troops, he met Hanyuan soldiers. How could he hide the situation? Things have come to this point and must return without success.

The implication is that we continue to go south and go deep into the thief area. Blocking the news is one of them. Inducing Dong Zhuo to pursue the army to fight is the second. Only in this way can we pretend to die and escape.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had made up her mind, the car drove through the city and headed south to Wancheng.

at the same time.

Huaxiong took the combat ship, heading south against the Yi River, and was bore in an unknown river berth.

Just because the water is not far away, there is two inches.

The guide on the boat said that he didn't know that there was Zhijin in Yishui.

Hua Xiong then got off the anchor and landed on the dock, and sent the scouts off the boat to inquire.

The scout's return: "The woodcutter in the mountain said that from the flood in Nanyang, the old dharma changed its course, and the branches and soil were everywhere. Even the Yi River flowed here."

Hua Xiong then pointed to the northwest mountains and said, "What is this mountain called?"

The scout replied: "Xiong'ershan."

It also refers to the southeastern mountains: "What is this mountain called?"

The scout replied again: "Funiu Mountain."

"Get the picture quickly."

"Here."

Compared with the topographic map of the mountains and rivers, the direction can be roughly known. When it is sandwiched between Xionger and Funiu Mountains, it is located in the west of Luyang County. This makes a quick decision: "The people get off the boat and the valley road goes east."

"Here."

Five hundred kings, one man and two horses, disembark in sequence and advance east along the valley road.

After trekking all the way, I arrived at the foot of Luyang City. After asking, I found out that the carriage in Luoyang had already gone south to Wancheng yesterday.

Hua Xiong rushed to Hua Pass again without stopping.

"Zuo Zhuan": In the fourth year of Ai Gong, Chu planned to "lead beyond Fangcheng" in the north. This is the place.

When Hou Nanyang, Hefei, was appointed as emperor, he ordered Yuan Shu to build this pass.

Waiting for Hua Xiong to lead the army under the pass, the thief chief Pei Ji hurriedly raised the bridge and locked it down, and kept it in custody.

"The guards are on the gate, come and answer quickly." The five hundred kings stopped outside the ground. Hua Xiong immediately asked with his sword and shouted loudly.

"Who are you?" Guan Shangjun asked in a timid voice.

"I am under the command of King Ji, the commander Hua Xiong. Where is the guardian?"

"This..." The guards at the gates swallowed and replied: "My general has not returned from hunting. I'm sorry to the captain, wait for a few days."

"I was ordered to open the city gate quickly." How could Hua Xiong wait?

"The military order is like a mountain, and the commander will forgive the crime." How dare the thieves on the city wall release the officers and soldiers privately?

Then an army waiter approached the horse: "The commander should make a quick decision. I am afraid that it will be harmed by the thieves."

Looking up at Xiong Pass, Hua Xiong has already made up his mind: "Get out first."

"Here."

Five hundred kings came and went like the wind. They disappeared in a short while.
