Chapter 864 Kowtow to Chang''an (12)


    Mao Mausoleum is a cemetery built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for himself before his death.


    It is the custom of the Han Dynasty people to honor their honor during life and honor them after death. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thinking about leaving a place for himself to sleep very early. Therefore, during a hunting trip, he said that he found a unicorn and a long-lived fruit tree near Maoshan in the north of the Wei River, so he named Maoshan. This area was circled, and the mausoleum was started.


    Of course, the so-called unicorn and even the longevity fruit tree did not bring immortality to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When the time came for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he obediently got into Maoling. Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that he would have no money after death. It also brought one-third of the country''s wealth at that time to the underworld.


    However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never thought that his well-built mansion would be pried open for three years after the old man had just entered and lived there, and the jade staff and jade boxes in the tomb would be sold on the street...


    Then in the next one or two hundred years, many people worried about the loneliness of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so they spontaneously organized many single-person, team, and even group sightseeing groups to visit Han Dynasty time and time again. Emperor Wu''s mansion.


    The most recent visit to the mansion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was Dong Zhuo, and of course, the executor was Lu Bu.


    But after all, Maoling has been the largest mausoleum in Chang''an City since ancient times. Therefore, although the back door of the old man''s house was pried many times by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, for the nearby Maoling Town, it is still a place where many people live and produce. The one with the most troops in the surrounding mausoleums.


    The south gate of Maoling Mausoleum is facing the Weishui River, and across the Weishui River, you can see the flames of Chang''an City soaring into the sky. On the other side of the Wei River, following Wang Yun''s order to transfer troops, it passed across the Wei River and also to Maoling.


    The banner of the big man seemed to be swept away by this sound in the wind, almost as if it was about to be torn off the flagpole!


    Compared with Chang''an City, although Maoling''s city wall is not very majestic, it is more orderly. On the city wall, neatly dressed soldiers stand awe-inspiring. After adjusting the duration of the arrow feathers, the rolling stones and trees were neatly stacked on one side, and beside them was a group of auxiliary soldiers, also waiting for orders.


    Not far from the south of Maolingling Township, there is the Weishui Bridge across the Weihe River. Near the stone bridge, all kinds of defensive equipment have been ready shortly after the war started. At the northern end of the stone bridge, there are not only the original Juma and stockade gates, but also a deer stockade that can be arranged and chained at any time.


    As long as there is an order, these soldiers can not only garrison the Weishui Bridge, but also advance into Chang''an City!


    But no one thought that compared with the serious and desolate atmosphere of Maoling City Wall and Weishui Bridge, there was chaos in the mausoleum guard house in Maolingling Township.


    In the Yamen of Maoling Mansion, the already gray-haired Huangfusong, although he is old, is still full of energy, sitting up straight in the hall. Beside him, the magistrate of Maoling couldn''t sit still, his face was changing.


    "Report..." A soldier rushed to the hall, knelt down and reported, "... Zhangping Gate is on fire! Luo City Gate is also on fire! Still fighting for the city gate!"


    "Go and inquire again." Huangfusong said slowly.


    "Report... a group of bandit soldiers reappeared in the east of Chang''an City, more than a thousand people, heading straight to Chang''an Zhangping and Luocheng two gates!"


    "Report... There are many fires in Chang''an City!"


    "Report... Chang''an City Gate Captain Wang Yi, fall! The thief Cao Zhangkuo is dead! Bandit soldiers are pouring into Chang''an City!"


    "Report..."


    The flow of scouts sent information, but Huangfusong only replied with four words, "Go and investigate again."


    "General Huangfu!" The magistrate of Maoling couldn''t help himself, stood up and said, "Chang''an City is at stake! Why haven''t you sent troops yet!"


    Huangfu Song took a look at the magistrate of Maoling, and said indifferently: "This is military affairs, and it is useless to talk about it. Just do what you are supposed to do."


    "A matter of duty?" The mayor forced his emotions under control, pointed his hand to the south, and said, "General Huangfu! I don''t know what is more important than this right now! The bandit army has already broken through the city! And we are here Sitting here?!"


    Huangfusong shook his head and said: "The bandit soldiers are in full swing, and it is too late to send troops. When their offensive is blocked, they can decide with one blow..."


    "..." Hearing Huangfusong''s intention, the mayor seemed to want to continue to wait, so he couldn''t help but blushed, and said loudly, "The lives of the people in Chang''an City are dying, and there are no deaths or injuries! General Huangfu! I don''t know how many more people have increased at this moment. Dead souls under the knife!"


    Huangfusong glanced at the magistrate indifferently, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and said slowly: "Soldiers, life and death, how can women''s benevolence make things happen?"


    The magistrate sneered, and then said loudly: "General Huangfu has a lot of excuses! Good! This place is Maoling! Emperor Xiaowu is buried here! I hope the general will act impartially! Don''t tarnish your name for the rest of your life!"


    As soon as this remark came out, Huangfusong''s face finally changed. He opened Lada''s triangular eyelids, stared straight at the mayor and said, "You...what do you mean by this?"


    The mayor shook his head and said: "General Huangfu, a small official, I shouldn''t talk too much, but above the court, regardless of Shandong and Shanxi, it is a family of Han! Although Chang''an City is not as good as Luoyang, it is still the capital of Han. !Now...but the century-old capital is once again in flames of war, how can General Huangfu bear it!"


    The look in Huangfusong''s eyes changed, and his long beard trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "So... I underestimated you... whatever..."


    Huangfusong sighed, then stood up, walked a few steps forward, and stood in front of the hall. The wind blowing in from outside the hall made his gray beard a little messy.


    In the sky, dark clouds rolled, just like Huangfusong''s current state of mind.


    Huangfusong''s uncle, Huangfugui, was a famous general of the Han Dynasty and one of the Liangzhou Sanming. Even after he was dismissed due to illness and returned home, the officials in the prefecture and county followed the wishes of General Liang Ji and still did not let him go, and almost killed him several times.


    Huangfusong''s father, Huangfujie, used to be the prefect of Yanmen County. He was a frontier general for a long time and was loyal and brave all his life.


    Huangfusong himself followed his uncle Huangfugui when he was a teenager, participated in many battles to quell the Western Qiang, and also took the lead in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, defeating the three brothers Zhang Jiao, but until now, he is still an idle Zhonglang general...


    Now, although Huangfusong is in his prime of life, years of hard military life make him look like a man in his sixtieth year.


    "A... really don''t want to..." Huangfusong looked up at the dark cloud-rolling sky, and muttered something.


    "Huh?" The mayor didn''t hear what Huangfusong said clearly, so he cupped his hands and asked, "General Huangfu?"


    Huangfusong lowered his head, his eyes turned cold, he didn''t answer, but walked straight out of the lobby.


    "General Huangfu!"


    The chief of the city stretched out his hand to call Huangfusong who was leaving without knowing it, but saw several of Huangfusong''s personal guards who were standing outside the lobby come in with unfriendly expressions, staring at him fiercely.


    "Wait...Huangfusong!" The magistrate instantly understood, and shouted, "Evil thief! Such an act! How different is it from conspiracy! Big man..."


    Before the mayor finished speaking, Huangfusong''s personal guards had already drawn their weapons and rushed forward, chopped the mayor to the ground with a few knives, then cut off the head, and walked out of the hall.


    "...the magistrate of Maoling, who had **** with bandit soldiers, wanted to assassinate the general, but was killed on the spot..."
