Volume 1, Chapter 276, The Eighteenth Road Princes Enter Chang'an

Next chapter

A week has passed, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads who set off from Luoyang City and come to King Qin finally arrived here at this moment.

Pieces of armor are stationed in the surrounding area of Chang'an City, and the camp tents alone have spread for hundreds of miles.

The entire three or four hundred thousand troops are showing a trend of cornering, faintly confronting the former Xiliang Army stationed on the west side of Chang'an, and the more than 100,000 troops that are now under the command of Zhao Hao.

Obviously, although there are many internal responses of the princes of the world in this Chang'an City, the news that Dong Zhuo is dead and his Xiliang Army has already been transmitted to the Quartet at this moment.

But this news could not completely dispel the doubts in the hearts of those princes, after all, the content of the information was indeed a little too unbelievable, how could they be reassured if they didn't see it with their own eyes.

At this time, Zhao Hao was standing directly above the city gate, smiling, looking at the group of princes and a small number of soldiers who were entering Chang'an City one after another, judging the identity of the other party through the attire, weapons, mounts, etc. of the people below.

At a glance, Cao Cao and one of his cadres, as well as Liu Guanzhang, Zhao Yun and others are the most conspicuous.

Lu Bu beside him is even more eye-catching, and most of the eyes of the people below are heading towards him, and even after this guy recognizes Zhao Hao as the master, he still goes his own way and is arrogant.

With a thick cigar borrowed from someone in his mouth, a trace of smoke drifted up into the sky.

A black and red armor was still worn on his body, the quadripartite war halberd was resting aside, and the whole person was half-sitting and half-lying on a large leather sofa.

Like a landlord, his legs were on the notch of the city wall, looking down at the princes and generals who were constantly passing by the city gate, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Looking down from Lu Bu's point of view, it was as if those princes and generals were passing under his crotch

At this time, the princes of the Eighteen Routes, except for the Jiangdong forces represented by Sun Jian, who were suspicious of the Heshi Bi, went south early and returned to their hometowns, and almost all of them came.

Of course, the news that "He's Bi" had been returned to the Han family in Chang'an had also spread among the princes at this moment, and at this time they knew that Sun Jian was indeed to blame before.

Unfortunately, the precepts of war and hatred have been planted, and the pretexts for war have been formed.

Zhao Hao also took advantage of this reason to convey his wishes to Sun Jian and others, that is, to ask them to take the entire Jiangdong in the shortest possible time!

The princes of the world came to King Qin's rescue, and King Qin's army was stationed outside Chang'an City, although now they don't need to do anything, which is equivalent to running in vain.

However, for the sake of etiquette and respect, according to the actual territory currently occupied by the princes, their own courtiers helped the little emperor prepare a reward order in advance.

After being rewarded in the court, Liu Xie also feasted on these princes with different minds in the palace.

In this reward of King Qin, apart from Zhao Hao, the biggest gain was not Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and other princes, but Liu Bei.

By virtue of his name as a relative of the Han family after King Jing of Zhongshan, the little emperor Liu Xie heard Liu Bei's coming, and his eyes immediately lit up.

After personally sending someone to check the genealogy and confirm the identity of the other party, he was immediately overjoyed and called Uncle Huang on the spot.

And the name of his Uncle Liu Huang was also many years in advance, and it spread among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also directly gave Liu Bei the position of Chang'an City Guardian and Commander of the Forbidden Army, and was fully responsible for the security of Chang'an City and the Imperial City, as well as the responsibility for guard training and troop deployment.

In this way, it can be seen that the little emperor attaches great importance to himself, a member of the Han clan who suddenly appeared.

But joy is joy, and attention is valued.

At the beginning of this troubled era, there were ten permanent servants of the cholera dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising, and then Dong Zhuo controlled the government and committed chaos, and now even the country has moved from Luoyang to Chang'an.

The current Han family has no fixed place to live, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no fixed place.

Now that Dong Zhuo has been eliminated, the little emperor has already become a frightened bird, and he is still young, if he wants to calm down and settle down, I am afraid it will take a while.

In this case, the appearance of a real imperial relative is naturally more trusted than those ministers and princes in the general sense.

However, although Liu Xie's move was from the bottom of his heart and he sincerely wanted to rely on his imperial uncle, it also caused great dissatisfaction among the princes present.

After all, when they raised the army to serve the king, they had the money to contribute and the powerful force, not to mention the purpose of their respective comings, no matter what, they also organized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Dong Zhuo.

Now that the credit for eradicating Dong Zhuo has been robbed by Zhao Hao, Liu Xuande is a generation of weaving mat sellers, slaughtering pigs and selling dogs.

A total of three people and three riders, they dared to run to meet the princes with King Qin, and with a little effort, they even won the first prize of King Qin's reward.

In this case, the full house of princes will naturally be dissatisfied.

Even, even Zhao Hao, the lord who didn't care about power at all, felt that what the little emperor did was a bit nonsensical, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar on the spot and talked about it.

Obviously, Emperor Han Xian's decision was not in their calculations, and there was definitely no such article in the previous draft of the reward.

Even if there is a reward, at least it will not be such a heavy reward.

This qiē is all the little emperor's own assertion, or in other words, it is actually a manifestation of the little emperor's self-preservation intention.

If Liu Bei is the best beneficiary of this court reward, then the most unlucky and unappreciated person is Cao.

There is no way, Liu Bei's family is now Uncle Liu Huang, a royal nobleman, although before, he was only engaged in the profession of a folk weaving craftsman, but now the wind and clouds are coming, and once the dragon will ride the wind.

On the other hand, Cao Cao is not so lucky, in terms of identity, he is the queen of the eunuch party.

In order to protect himself and gain trust, he had done a lot of deeds under Dong Zhuo.

Whether in terms of identity or personality, he was not valued by the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty, and it can even be said that he was quite despised.

Although Cao Apo later made the feat of assassinating Dong Zhuo in person, unfortunately, that time did not seem to be successful.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo was furious, and he ruthlessly killed a group of ministers who were suspected of helping Cao Cao to do something.

Wang Situ, who is ranked as the third prince of the court, was almost implicated, if it weren't for the relationship between Diao Chan and Lu Bu, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether Wang Situ can sit safely on top of this court now.

In the previous alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, who gathered to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's troops were indeed not many, and his exploits were mostly on the basis of giving advice, and his merits were limited.

Therefore, in the end, when the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty summed up and reviewed the reward, they also intentionally or unintentionally ranked Cao Cao at the end of the princes.

Even Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, who had left the field early and returned to his hometown in Jiangdong because of the suspicion of the princes, received much more rewards than Cao Cao.

In addition, Cao Cao now seems to have taken on a drudgery, a very offensive messenger, that is, responsible for renovating the eastern capital Luoyang.

Let's not talk about whether Cao Cao can get his hands on Luoyang City, which has become a ruin, after the construction of Luoyang City, which has become a ruin, with the current world shape.

In this process alone, the construction of a giant city at the level of a national capital requires countless manpower, material resources, and financial resources.

Of course, Cao Cao will definitely receive financial support from the royal family and other princes in the process, but this funding will never support him to complete the entire construction project, and probably most of it will be up to him to make his own decisions.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Hao actually didn't agree much in his heart, and now he would renovate the eastern capital of Luoyang.

After all, now that the war is over, the soldiers and the people are exhausted, and it is time to recuperate.

But at that time, above the court, Zhao Hao looked at the meaning of the little emperor and the courtiers, almost wanting to rebuild Luoyang in a few months, half a year, or even in a shorter period of time, and complete the rest.

Then immediately the class returned to the court, relocated the capital and returned to Luoyang.

I have to say that this seems to be a way to set things right and correct the name of the Han royal family, which is indeed a positive move from the perspective of the ministers, princes, and little emperor Liu Xie of the Manchu Dynasty.

But objectively speaking, there is almost no difference between their actions and Dong Zhuo's move to requisition and renovate and strengthen the fortified city after moving the capital to Chang'an.

In order to restore the original appearance of an old city that had become a ruin, although such face-saving projects were necessary in some aspects, they were also prone to lose the support of the people and accelerate the weakening of the Han royal family.

The princes are strong and the central government is weak, which will naturally accelerate the arrival of troubled times
