The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 328 Ranger Luoyang, Temporary Cooperation

After breakfast, Zhao Feiyan argued not to ride in the same carriage with Liu Bian, and got into the carriage behind with two maids. Liu Bian vaguely saw that the two maids were carrying a lot of packages. I am afraid it was Zhao Feiyan who arranged for the two of them. Snacks purchased in Mianchi.

They exchanged glances with Bao Si, and they got into the carriage. Bao Si lit sandalwood, took out a roll of maps and spread them on the floor.this
It is a huge local map of the Han Dynasty. The location of the rebels in various places has been marked in red, and the main characters, scale and weapon configuration of the rebels are recorded in detail in the blank space.

This was sent by Liu Ji overnight, with a letter attached. The officials of the six departments have already set off and will arrive in Luoyang in a few days. The 4500 new troops trained in Luoyang will serve as Liu Bian's guards.

Zhang Juzheng also proposed to give Luoyang the title of accompanying capital. After all, Liu Bian will stay in Luoyang for a period of time, and corresponding arrangements are indispensable.One is the majesty of the emperor, and the other is that Liu Bian sits in Luoyang, the capital, to appease the people of the Kanto and enhance the cohesion of the Kanto counties.

Liu Bian followed Zhang Juzheng's suggestion and asked the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day to announce it to the world, but instead of holding large-scale celebrations, let the Luoyang order and the people celebrate by themselves.

Bao Si suggested that she and Zhao Feiyan could preside over the ceremony, and Liu Bian agreed.

The orders of the Ministry of War were like snowflakes flying, reaching the new army camps in various places.The new troops from all over the country set off one after another and rushed to their respective assembly places as planned. The counties and counties along the way needed to provide them with supplies.

Although Luoyang was destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt at the request of Yan Baihu, Wang Lang and others when Liu Bianchu proclaimed himself emperor, and the palace complex has initially taken shape.

Liu Bian, Baosi, and Zhao Feiyan lived in the newly built Tingchao Palace. Baosi asked Song Ran to write a letter, and asked the palace to arrange corresponding maids and servants to go, and then called Gao Hui, sisters Qiao and Sun Shangxiang to accompany them. Liu debate.

Because of the emperor's arrival in Luoyang, the public security was controlled, and a large number of rangers were arrested within two days, and the prison was overcrowded for a while.

The ranger Wei Guoan was sent to death row for killing the son of a powerful family who robbed the women of the people in the suburbs of Luoyang. While waiting to be executed, there happened to be a fierce armed struggle between the imperial court and the powerful family, so he was released by Fang Xuanling and organized A group of rangers specialized in collecting evidence of crimes committed by aristocratic families in various counties and counties in the Kanto region.

Several family members who have been in trouble for many years were ransacked by the court relying on the evidence they provided, some were exiled to foreign lands, and some were ransacked and beheaded by the whole family.

The family of the Kanto family offered a price of 20 yuan for his head, and all the rangers who followed him were listed as red.

The Luoyang magistrate knew that Wei Guoan could not die, and once he died, it would be a huge blow to the prestige of the court, so he was made a county captain with a rank of two hundred stones in the Luoyang magistrate's office. No longer worry about livelihood.

His wife and children live in Luoyang, and the family lives happily.

It's just that Wei Guoan has been very worried recently. He is a man of righteousness and boldness. The rangers who used to hang out with him came to him and wanted to pay him to protect a few people.

Although none of them were serious crimes, at this time, because of Liu Bian's situation in Luoyang, the upright court would be hard-pressed to crack down on them.

Wei Guoan and Luoyang ordered He Wenyan to talk, but He Wenyan said there was nothing he could do.Tell him not to associate with those rangers anymore. After all, he is already an official of the Han Dynasty, and associates with rangers will greatly lower his status.

Wei Guoan didn't say anything, but he felt very uncomfortable. He was also a ranger, and He Wenyan's words made him feel uncomfortable.

After coming out of the government office, Wei Guoan wanted to buy two roast chickens from Xuji Restaurant in Honglu Lane. His youngest son had been craving for it for several days. There were so many things going on in the government office these days that he never had time to buy them. I happened to have time today. , I am going to buy two for my family as a toothpaste.

When Wei Guoan turned into Honglu Lane, he saw the signboard of Xu Ji's recipes, and was about to quicken his pace when he felt a sharp knife against his lower back.

"Don't make a sound, don't panic, go forward." A man's voice sounded familiar.If the knife in the man's hand hadn't pierced his coat, he would have thought his ranger friend was playing a joke on him.

The man hijacked Wei Guoan out of Honglu Lane and turned into Fishbone Lane. Fishbone Lane was mostly rented by Kansai merchants to do some dry goods and fur business.

The man put a sharp knife against his back, reached out and knocked on the door, and a young man's voice came from inside: "Who?"

"It's me, open the door!"

The door opened, and a young man held a sharp sword and looked at Wei Guoan warily.After entering the yard, five more people came out of the house with swords. The man behind him pushed Wei Guoan forward: "Here they are, give me the money, and I'll leave now. I want to get involved in the grievances between you." .”

Pushed by him, Wei Guoan staggered. He turned around to see who had kidnapped him here. Just as he was about to turn around, the young man put his sword against Wei Guoan's throat: "Don't move."

The man took the money and left. The boy winked at the people around him, and the two stepped forward to support Wei Guoan and dragged him into the room.

Wei Guoan was tied up, and the rope was stretched through the beams so that he could only touch the ground with his toes and could not move.

The young man sat on the chair and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Are you the county captain?"

Wei Guoan thought he was a bandit or a knight-errant who came to exchange his life for money, so he said, "That's right, I am Wei Guoan. If you want to kill me, I will have a good time. Your Grandpa Wei will not be a good man if you blink!"

"You have a lot of backbone, but we are not interested in your life." The boy said.

Wei Guoan had a bad temper, and now that he was being kidnapped, he became even more furious and said, "Then why are you kidnapping your Grandpa Wei?"

The young man waved his hand, and the warriors behind him opened two boxes beside the wall. Inside were golden golden cakes. The young man pointed at the golden cakes and said, "Make a deal, these are all yours."

The boy's words must have been practiced for a long time, and they are not as lame as they were at the beginning.

Wei Guoan stared straight at the two boxes of gold cakes, the two boxes together weighed no more than a hundred catties.Paying such a high price would definitely kill him, and if he didn't do it well, he would be executed all over the house.

He likes money, and being a ranger is also for making money. He has no other skills, but he has a lot of strength. He learned some military skills from his uncle and made a name for himself in the Kanto region.

But he didn't like earning money that would cost him his life. Wei Guoan thought for a while and said, "My head is only worth 20 yuan. It must be a terrible deal for you to pay such a high price. I dare not agree."

The young man raised his sharp sword and pointed at Wei Guoan, "If you don't cooperate, you will die."

Wei Guoan had many lives on his hands as a ranger. Now that he has joined the government, he no longer thinks about making a name for himself as a ranger. He now just wants his smart little son to study well and enter the officialdom in the future. , then it will truly be a glorious event.
