It is said that since Zhao Yun killed the head of the Huang family with an arrow and Liu Bei's army destroyed the Huang family and six affiliated families, the mood of the people in Jinan and the surrounding counties and counties has changed.
While Liu Bei was busy dealing with the follow-up, Luo Shizi, who left Luoyang City, arrived at the south bank of the river after several days of march.
Jizhou is often called Hebei because the original division was based on the river.
During the Zhou Dynasty, the Luo State and the Wei State were both in Hebei. The two countries were not far apart. Later, the Luo State made great achievements in fighting the barbarians and expanded eastward into a country across the river. However, the capital of the Luo State has always been in Hebei.
Every time the Zhaocheng mission went to Luoyang, they passed through Hanoi County and crossed the river. Now they also returned to Zhaocheng from Hanoi County.
As time goes by, the water of the river gradually becomes less clear than a thousand years ago. However, because the Qin Dynasty did not have time to cut down the mountains and forests on a large scale, and the Han Dynasty paid attention to protecting the water and soil and did not build palaces on a large scale, the river has always been relatively clear.
It was not until the late Han Dynasty that Guanzhong was gradually abandoned and the environment changed. However, the river is still slightly turbid and has not completely turned yellow.
Luo Chu, the youngest of the Luo family, suddenly reined in his horse by the river. Looking at the roaring water, splashing waves, and the river that never stopped running eastward, he suddenly said to Luo Shu: "Second uncle, My nephew will not return to Zhaocheng.
Aunt Diaochan was sent to Zhaocheng, and the noble daughter of the Cai family was still there. It seemed that something good was coming.
If any uncle or uncle gets married, he will send a letter to the Kingdom of Ying and his nephew will prepare a big gift and return to Zhaocheng to congratulate him. "
Luo Shu was stunned and asked: "A Chu, you haven't been crowned yet, so there is no need to return to the Kingdom of Ying.
Besides, the world is in chaos. How can I rest assured that you are a child walking alone? What if my sister knows that I asked you to leave alone and blame me after returning to Zhaocheng after paying homage to my ancestors? "
Luo Chu smiled freely when he heard this. He has that kind of bright and sunny appearance that always makes people feel warm in their hearts.
"I'm afraid my mother has missed me. If I were to return to the Kingdom of Ying now, I would definitely feel happy. Besides, it's only six hundred miles from here to the Kingdom of Ying. It can be reached in a few days, so it's nothing."
Seeing that Luo Chu had made up his mind, Luo Shu could only agree, but of course he couldn't really let Luo Chu go alone. Luo Shizi left alone. It would be like Monk Tang entering the monster pile and giving away the head himself.
He pondered for a moment and said: "A Chu, the twenty spirit soldiers and the three hundred brave warriors will go back to the Yinghou Kingdom with you. Just let them go back to Zhaocheng when you return."
Luo Chu responded with a smile. Luo Shu patted Luo Chu's head gently. Everyone came up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Go back to Yinghou Kingdom and say hello to your father and mother for us. This time we say goodbye. See you later during the ancestor worship."
Luo Chu dismounted and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Luo Shu, then stood up and said with a bright smile: "Second uncle, farewell now, uncles, farewell now!"
Diao Chan looked at the energetic young man curiously. She was much older than Luo Chu. Even in this world where Luo Chu advocated late marriage, her age was still suitable for marriage, but her appearance had never reached the stage of marriage. It never changes after it is perfected.
Luo Chu and his warriors were preparing to pass through Yanzhou and then enter the Yinghou Kingdom. According to the current month, it should be time to withdraw the troops and return to the Yinghou Kingdom to farm.
As the Taiping Army all left for Luoyang, the game between the Yanzhou government and the bandits eased a bit, but it was still chaotic.
But no one dared to mess with the soldiers who dared to go out, especially the twenty spiritual soldiers who were always wearing armor at the front.
It is no exaggeration to say that with these three hundred warriors, even if they were facing thousands of militiamen or ordinary county soldiers, it would be useless. They would scatter in all directions with a single charge.
This was the first time in Luo Chu's life that he led an army to travel alone, which was quite novel. As a result, during the march, he suddenly encountered a refugee army that was besieging the caravan.
The caravan was very large, with hundreds of carts full of goods. Not counting the horsemen and others, there were hundreds of guards alone, with sophisticated weapons and even crossbows. It looked like they had connections in the government. caravan, the flag raised high has the word "mi" written on it.
As a son of the Luo family, everyone in the Han Dynasty’s thirteen prefectures and counties represented wealthy families.
Luo Chu knew at a glance that this was the caravan of the Mi family in Xuzhou. Not only did Zhaocheng often trade with them, but the Yinghou Kingdom also often had business dealings with the Mi family.
Luo Chu decided to rescue Mi's caravan. He made a brief observation and found that the refugee army that besieged Mi's caravan was not very strong. It only had more than 3,000 people, and there were no more than 100 people with one or two pieces of armor. It was precisely because In this way, the guards of Mi's caravan could not be breached for a while.
In the caravan, Mi Zhu just felt that he was really unlucky. With his status, it was basically unnecessary for the family to run business in person. However, he did not expect to encounter such a thing when he went out this time.
As the refugee army gradually surrounded him, people around him began to persuade him, "Master, we can't take these goods. The goal of these refugees is the goods. We can break out directly and leave safely."
Although Mi Zhu felt aggrieved, she knew that there was no other way except this. She could not waste the family's manpower here, and said angrily: "When I return to the family, I will definitely eradicate this refugee army to avenge today."
Most people didn't take this seriously, but it would still be possible in Xuzhou. The Mi family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou. Although they are not the kind of noble family that has been rich and powerful for many generations, they have the status of a businessman who truly has millions of dollars and has been rich for many generations. Very high.
Mi Zhu was recruited by two Xuzhou governors as Biejia. The so-called Biejia means that when traveling with the governor, he rode in a carriage alone because of his high status. This is called Biejia!
This is the first assistant officer under the governor, and it can only be held by the head of a large clan in the state. Mi Zhu's status in Xuzhou can be seen.
If this refugee army is in Xuzhou, the prospect of offending Mi Zhu is indeed not good, but this is Yanzhou, and Mi's power cannot be extended at all. Mi Zhu's words can only be said out loud.
"Eh? Patriarch?"
Suddenly, his subordinates pointed at the refugee army that suddenly dispersed, speechless.
Mi Zhu quickly turned around and saw that the previously fierce refugee army suddenly fled in all directions, and a tall phoenix flag was raised at the outermost edge. Phoenix?
Mi Zhu suddenly came to his senses and exclaimed, "It's Luo Shi!"
His men finally recovered from their speechlessness, and shouted with infinite joy in their voices: "Master, it is really the Luo family, a daredevil of the Luo family!"
The costumes of the brave warriors are too obvious. There is only one in the world, and there is no other branch. Coupled with the unique phoenix flag and the big "Luo" character, if you don't know what is going on, you are a fool.
Mr. Luo passed by here!
After the dare warrior put on his armor, Luo Chu swung his sword and tore the wall apart with just one charge.
The brave warriors were in black armor and red robes, and they were all equipped with good horses. Although there were only a few hundred people, they charged with the momentum of a thousand troops.
The commander of the refugee army saw that the brave warriors had no intention of resisting at all, and immediately fled with his people. The entire refugee army fled in all directions in a short period of time.
Before Luo Chu rode his horse and charged towards Mi's caravan, Mi Zhu quickly walked out of the caravan, bowed deeply and said, "I don't know which young master of Luo's family is in front of me.
I am the master of the Mi family in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu. Your son holds Zhu in the water and fire. Zhu thanks you! ".net
Luo Chu reached out and took off his helmet, revealing his bright face. Mi Zhu did not expect that he would be such a young boy, and Luo Chu also did not expect that he happened to be the head of the Mi family. He said in a clear voice: "Master Mi, you are welcome. I have never There is no word in the crown, just call me Young Master Chu.
My father, the Marquis Ying, was on his way to the Kingdom of Ying Marquis. He happened to meet the head of the Mi family on the way and was in danger. It was just a matter of a little effort. "
Young Master Chu!
There is no need to think about the sons of Yinghou, as well as legitimate sons and concubines. Not to mention the stigmata between the eyebrows, the Luo family has not taken concubines as long as they have a legitimate wife since the fall of the Luo Kingdom.
Or it could be like Luo Jing, the Marquis of Dong'a, who didn't marry a real wife, and all of them were concubines. And who doesn't know that the contemporary Yinghou married a daughter of the Luo family, and it was impossible to have concubines.
Looking at Luo Chu's sun-like appearance, the best among the best, he suddenly thought of his sister, a beauty renowned throughout Xuzhou.
Even if it is a little low-key, Xuzhou will not be the most beautiful.
any problem. I heard that the Luo family never looked at family background when choosing a wife. They looked first at appearance and secondly at virtue.
In terms of appearance, there is absolutely nothing wrong with my sister. In all my years of living, I have never seen a woman more beautiful than my sister.
Needless to say, in terms of virtue, the Mi family is from a wealthy family, and the women they come from are definitely knowledgeable and courteous.
Although my sister sometimes has a childish temper, she is not annoying. This is where the joy of life lies.
Moreover, Mi Zhu, who often dealt with the Luo family's business, knew that the women in the Luo family were in charge of many family businesses. His younger sister liked business the most and was very talented in this area.
If she marries Luo, after understanding her abilities, Luo will definitely let her take charge of part of the business so that she can do what she likes.
Mi Zhu still loves his sister very much. If he has to sacrifice Mi Zhen's marriage for the sake of the family business, Mi Zhu will still sacrifice it, but if he has a choice, he still hopes that his sister can marry a good man.
Mi Zhu's thoughts wandered further and further, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was good. This was a win-win outcome, so she became more and more enthusiastic about Luo Chu.
Luo Chu only felt that the head of the Mi family was too enthusiastic about him, but he didn't hate it because he could feel that there was no trace of hypocrisy in this enthusiasm, and it was full of sincerity.
Naturally, he didn't know what happened. He couldn't have imagined that in this short moment, Mi Zhu would regard him as his future brother-in-law.
If he knew what Mi Zhu was thinking, Luo Chu would definitely laugh and cry. Has the rumor that Luo's son chooses his wife based on his reputation spread so widely?
Mi Zhu and Luo Chu walked together, and under Mi Zhu's deliberate flattery, the two had a pleasant conversation.
But the caravan moved slowly, and the two had to part ways eventually. Although Mi Zhu wanted to take Luo Chu back to Xuzhou to meet his sister immediately, he understood that these things could not be rushed.
Luo Chu is now going back to the Kingdom of Ying. This is the official business, so he invited Luo Chu to Xuzhou as a guest after meeting. Luo Chu originally planned to go south along the Huaihe River to see the old place of Wu Chu and see the scenery of Jiangdong. .
There is a word "Chu" in his name, and he is quite interested in the Chu land. Although Jiangdong is now called the old land of Wuyue, in fact, it has the most Chu culture preserved there, even more than the real old land of Chu in Jingzhou.
When the two parted, Mi Zhu very generously gave a large number of gifts to the brave warriors as a reward for rescuing the siege.
Luo Chu knew at a glance that after giving these gifts, Mi Zhu's profits from this business trip would basically be gone.
But Mi Zhu didn't feel any distress at all. Luo Chudu nodded slightly. No wonder he could inherit the family business and become bigger. He was indeed no ordinary person.
Regarding the gifts sent by Mi Zhu, Luo Chu asked the brave warrior to accept them all. Just like the Buddhist classic "Buddha still needs sesame oil money", the brave warrior is not made of iron, so why not take more money if you can.
Especially in the past few years, the family's finances have not been very good. Since there are large households that can subsidize more, then subsidize more, so as not to make the brothers suffer for the so-called face.
Moreover, Luo Chu knew that after accepting Mi Zhu's gift, Mi Zhu had to thank himself for giving him this face. Sure enough, after seeing Luo Chu let the brave warriors accept everything, the smile on Mi Zhu's face became more sincere, and he couldn't help but thank him for the gift he had given him. A helping hand.
The two parties parted ways, looking at Mi Zhu who was speeding away and laughing heartily: "This trip was worth it!
Now we just have to wait for Young Master Chu to come to Xuzhou. If we can succeed, my Mi family will be completely outstanding, no less than the Chen family in Xuzhou. "
Xuzhou Chen family?
What came out of Mi Zhu's mouth made his men a little surprised, but if they think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Since ancient times, those who can have a relationship with the Luo family have all been rich.
Although this kind of wealth does not come as quickly as building a relationship with the royal family, it is so prominent, and it can even become the best in the world in just a few years.
But after several visits to the Xia Dynasty, the wealth that the Luo family could bring was the only one under the royal family.
In fact, Mi Zhu couldn't help but think of Lan Lingxiao and Huaiyin Han in Xuzhou. If the family could
The Shangluo family transformed into a Confucian classics family, successfully re-invested, and became a founding figure. That would be true prominence.
After Luo Chu and Mi Zhu parted ways, they walked all the way through Yanzhou. Along the way, bandits of all sizes were basically unwilling to come into contact with him and the brave warriors.
If it weren't for the protection of the horses, this 600-mile journey could be reached very quickly. Even if they stopped and walked, their speed could be called lightning speed.
As more and more familiar scenery appeared in front of him, farmland belonging to the British Kingdom appeared in front of him, extending along the straight road to the end of his sight.
Luo Chu knew that he was back!
He rode his horse to the end of his sight, and then he saw a high city, and a group of people were riding horses waiting for him.
