Chapter 489 Gathering in Luoyang
In Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Daguang has also traveled many times in recent years, so when he stood under the towering city wall again, Yuan Daguang suddenly felt like he had a long separation and reunion.
The bustle outside the city gate is still there, and the storm three days ago has long been calmed down, but the discussions inside and outside the city have not stopped, so that the news that Luoyang is about to be in crisis has gradually spread.
Yuan Daguang didn't care about these gossips. Compared to Nanliang, Yuan Daguang was more familiar with the Northern Wei Dynasty and closer. In Louwai Lou, he had known the foundation of the Northern Wei Dynasty over the years. A country standing for a hundred years without falling to the ground will not be destroyed casually.
Soon after entering the city, Yuan Daguang should continue to go north.
As time flies, the moon quietly climbs up the treetops.
Luoyang was too big, and Yuan Daguang wanted to find Chen Kuang for a moment, and after thinking about it, there was no good place to go, so he simply found a cheap inn and stayed in temporarily.
The shopkeeper of the inn was a kind-looking old man. Although he was old, Yuan Daguang could see that he was also a martial artist in his early years, so he had the strength of a warrior in every move.
When the old shopkeeper saw Yuan Daguang coming to the door, he subconsciously took a few more glances.
Although Luoyang can see all kinds of people everywhere, there are still few masters.
The old shopkeeper looked at Yuan Daguang up and down. Yuan Daguang didn't realize it. He slowly walked in and said straight: "The shopkeeper has room and me, so the lowest price is fine."
The old shopkeeper laughed and said, "Yes, why don't you? There are not many other broken shops in my house, but there are some cheap rooms."
When Yuan Daguang heard the old shopkeeper talk, he knew that it was the fellow man, so he smiled. Yuan Daguang laughed and said, "That's good, I'm tight, I can't afford the big expenses."
"Would you go back to your room now or sit down and drink a little wine to relieve your fatigue? The price of my terrible wine is also low." The old shopkeeper asked.
Yuan Daguang was not polite, so he took off his burden and sat down.
Seeing this, the old shopkeeper waved his hand to signal the guy to bring the wine, and he immediately sat down with Yuan Daguang.
There was also herbal tea on the table for the time being. At this moment, the old shopkeeper poured a cup of tea for Yuan Daguang, "I see that you look like a native of the Great Wei Dynasty, but you have a soft collapse of Nanliang all over your body."
It turns out that the old Jianghu had high eyesight, Yuan Daguang immediately said, "Your vision is really vicious, I just came back from Nanliang not long ago."
The old shopkeeper also said after hearing this: "The people from the Jianghu who came from Nanliang during this period have one after another. Why? Is there a fight between the Great Wei and the Jianghu in Nanliang?"
Yuan Daguang took a sip of tea and took a break, then said, "When the shopkeeper was young, he was afraid he would often hang out in the world. You also know that if we are people who say they are gangsters or heroes who punish evil and promote good. But no matter what, we still have basic concepts of right and wrong. Although the Northern Wei and Nanliang are two countries, they have the same clan and origin. Now when brothers are in trouble, how can they not help?"
After Yuan Daguang said this, he explained: "At least this is the case at the Jianghu level."
The old shopkeeper is worthy of being an old martial artist, so this means that he knew as soon as he heard it, "Although I have only been asking about the affairs of the martial arts world for many years, I also know that the integration of the Nanliang River and the Lake of the Nanliang is not something that ordinary people can do. Could it be that the Southern Liang court instructed it? Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that the old emperor of Nanliang Xiao Yan has passed away, and the newly ascended the throne is actually a princess. Isn't this a nonsense?"
In recent days, Yuan Daguang has not learned much about Jinling because he has been busy rushing. Now, after hearing what the old shopkeeper said, he knows that the old emperor of Nanliang Xiao Yan had actually passed away.
Yuan Daguang said: "Shopkeeper, can you tell me about Xiao Yan's death in detail?"
The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "What's wrong with this? Actually, I have heard about this matter recently. Xiao Yan died suddenly and passed the throne suddenly. He actually passed the throne to Princess Changle of Nanliang, Xiao Xiang, who is a woman. I don't know the specific background of this princess, but the three Dukes of Nanliang and the civil and military officials did not object, which should be special."
When Yuan Daguang heard this, he recalled his understanding of the Princess Changle when he was in Nanliang. Although the two had never met directly, she had some connection with Chen Kuan.
Is Xiao Xiang's evaluation in the obtained information considered?
It is very prominent, but nowadays, this princess, the new female emperor, is still very extraordinary.
Seeing Yuan Daguang pondering, the old shopkeeper did not disturb him, and waited until he came to his senses...
Soon, the guy returned with the wine, one small jar for each person.
The old shopkeeper straight away opened the mud seal and poured it down. He asked, "Who is the name of the little brother? Who is the one?"
Yuan Daguang dragged the wine bowl and took a big sip before responding, "I am still a little brother. I am still in my early thirties and still do nothing. My name is Yuanguang, and I am from Gusu, Nanliang."
"Isn't it really a Wei person?"
Yuan Daguang waved his hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter where the people are. I now regard myself as a Gusu, and I will be in Gusu from now on."
The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, the places in Nanliang are good places to support people. If I hadn't been worried about it here, I would also like to go and have a look."
After the old shopkeeper said this, he and Yuan Daguang laughed. Although they were not as exaggerated as their lifelong confidant, they could still be drinking friends.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, they all let go of each other. The old shopkeeper asked with a smile: "The war on the northern front of the Great Wei Dynasty is not good now, and it is said that Tongguan cannot be defended in Luoyang City. Why do you Liang people still have to go north to support?"
Yuan Daguang smiled and said, "Others don't know, I simply want to kill a few Rouran people and brag about it. Moreover, a real man should do something if he was born in the world."
"Do you want to show it to the woman?" the old shopkeeper asked naturally.
Yuan Daguang did not deny it, and nodded, "The people in the world have a long love for their children, and they cannot be erased or avoided."
The old shopkeeper laughed and said, "That's true. It's not like not talking about my dear and not drinking. This is second, and we should learn the trend of the Nanliang River and Lake. We have always said that the Wei people and Kong Wu, and Liang people are gentle. Now it seems that you are the ones who dare to get into something."
"The shopkeeper, that's not the case. There are definitely many people who are willing to go north in the Great Wei world. In the face of difficulties, as long as someone raises his arms and shouts, I think no one will be willing to be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle."
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he didn't say much about this matter. He took a sip of the old wine and frowned, "Hey, I don't know what the situation in the north is like. Why did General Yuwen and the others lose so quickly this time?"
Seeing that the old shopkeeper was a little depressed, Yuan Daguang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid of the shopkeeper. Even if there are so many people in the Wei border army, it will take a long time to kill the Rouran dog thieves. I think it's the plan of General Yuwen and others."
Yuan Daguang's words are actually not convincing, but now there is only such a reason to convince others and himself.
In any case, the cost of using the people of the Northwest is not worth the loss.
Most men like to talk about national affairs in drinking parties, some regrets and some regrets.
The old shopkeeper and Yuan Daguang are both honest people. The old shopkeeper knew that Yuan Daguang was extraordinary. He didn't ask any questions about the authenticity of his name and identity. He just had a glass of wine, and he would have nothing to do after drinking it.
When Yuan Daguang found the inn, it was already dark. Perhaps because the inn was cheap, it was too inconspicuous in this prosperous Luoyang City, so there were no guests coming to visit at night.
Yuan Daguang and the old shopkeeper drank until late at night. The old shopkeeper deserved to invite him for this meal.
Yuan Daguang, who was in a hurry, finally had a good rest until tonight, and he decided to go to find Shen Kuan early tomorrow morning.
On the other hand, Chen Kuang and Dugu Nanqiao settled down after entering the city. Because they had special identities, they also found a not-so-conspicuous inn. As for Dugu Hai, he hid himself.
Because of the matter of circulating Yunguan, Luoyang is far less peaceful than that.
The news that Yunguan was broken was passed back to Luoyang. Yuan Ke had no time to think about it and mobilized five thousand troops from outside the capital. The troops who happened to retreat from the eastern front could fill the gap of five thousand.
Yuan Ke also ordered the Tongguan defenders to wait for an opportunity to respond, but the court did not expect the marching route of Tang Mu and others.
Although Li Qi had thought about this, the risk of this move was very high, almost a sheep entered the tiger's mouth, so no one in Li Qi paid attention to the southwest.
What's more, along the way
There are countless counties and counties, and it is impossible for Rouran's large group of people to escape everyone's sight.
———
After leaving Chuanyun Pass that night, Tang Mu and Yuan Zhen moved southwest, their travel speed was very slow, and they could hardly walk a hundred miles a day or night.
It’s not that they don’t want to, but that every step is wading in muddy water, and you can never get rid of it if you are not careful.
Two days after the Rouran army left, the Wei defense army chased after him, but at that time, the Yunguan Pass was already broken and the corpses were all over the ground, and there was no trace of the Rouran army.
The successive failures actually made the morale of the Wei army sluggish. Although it made great progress in the pursuit of the remnants of Batulu, the Tang Mu team had already rampant in the northwest.
Outside Chuanyun Pass, Yuwen Tai's team stopped. The three Rourans at present may choose. Yuwen Tai can't bet anymore, so he has to divide his troops, but this time the priorities have changed.
The head general of the home team, Hou Mo Chenjing, has been red in his eyes over the past few days, and his home was trampled on was something he could not tolerate.
It is said that outside Yunguan, Hou Mo and Chen Jing divided the team into two groups. Yan Bingchu led the main force to pursue 15,000 people northward, while Hou Mo and Chen Jing took the remaining 3,000 people southwest.
This is Hou Mo and Chen Jing's proposition, and because the possibility of this is small, Hou Mo and Chen Jing only brought a small group of people, so even if he turns around, it will be too late to change the direction.
Yuwen Tai was handed over to Hou Mo Chen Jing and Yan Bingchu. After he led his troops to basically solve the Batulu troops, he led his team back to Jiuquan City. The Hexi defense line could not change due to this accident, because they had to face the army that was soft and continued with all their strength.
Now, the Batulu tribe has basically fled north with few remaining remnants. His purpose is probably to join Rou and then continue the main force.
The rampage in the northwest can no longer be changed, and the Wei army can only prevent the same thing from happening again with its temporary strength.
These matters are also left to the full responsibility of Jiantiansi and Diwang.
In the Jinling Mansion, a girl named Sun Qianchen finally reunited with her belated parents.
After solving the troubles between Shiyu and Xiang'er, Li Chengren and Zhu Tan returned to Jinling and crossed the river north with many fellow rivers and lakes in Nanliang.
The team in the same team gave in a lot of defeats, and no one deliberately counted, but there were thousands of people.
In the Luoyang City of the Great Wei Dynasty, Song Wan, who had been recovering from the eastern front, also brought his people back to the capital.
Everything is as good as before, and the dream remains the same.
