Chapter 283: Han Zhan's Plan
Regardless of whether Li Dao died or fled, the soldiers and horses in the city soon fell into a leaderless situation. Han Zhan ordered the soldiers and horses to shout in the city: "Only punish the evil, coerce never ask, and don't kill those who abandon weapons!" ”
Most of the soldiers and horses in the city were not Li Dao's descendants, but because the generals who led the troops were replaced by Li Dao's henchmen, they had to temporarily obey Li Dao's dispatch. At this moment, the news of Li Wei's "death" has spread throughout the city, and when they hear the shouts of the Jizhou soldiers, everyone has no intention of fighting again. As soon as they saw the Jizhou soldiers rushing over, they immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
After dark, the entire city of Chang'an was controlled by the Jizhou army. Taiwei Yang Biao and Dasi Nong Zhu Jun took the civil and military officials of the court to the palace to see Han Zhan.
Seeing the corpses all over the road, many civil officials were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they needed the support of others to barely stand. Han Zhan saw that these people were frightened, and knew that even if he reluctantly gathered them, he couldn't discuss anything. Therefore, after greeting Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, he said: "Two adults, our army has just pacified the Beijing Division today, and there are still many remnants of Li Dao's party that have not been cleared, why don't you please go back to your home first, and wait for the situation to stabilize tomorrow, and then discuss the matter?" ”
Zhu Jun didn't understand the purpose of Han Zhan's words, so he asked curiously: "Tinghou, the old man doesn't understand what you mean." Since the civil and military forces have gathered here, why should we discuss matters here, why do we have to wait until tomorrow? ”
Han Zhan pointed at the civil officials who were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and said, "Dasi Nong, please see, these adults are frightened by the corpses everywhere, presumably even if they stay, they will be soulless and difficult to discuss." In that case, it is better to let them go back and rest for the night, and it is not too late to discuss it tomorrow. ”
After listening to Han Zhan's words, Zhu Jun turned his head and asked Yang Biao, who was standing aside, "Captain Yang, I don't know what you think?" ”
In fact, when Yang Biao saw the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, and when he smelled the lingering smell of blood in the air, he was also nauseous, but he was worried about offending Han Zhan, so he could only summon hundreds of officials here. At this moment, when I heard Han Zhan offer to let the hundred officials go home to rest first, and wait for tomorrow's deliberations, he naturally couldn't ask for it. However, he still pretended to think for a moment before nodding his head and saying, "Dasi Nong, since Tinghou said so, then let's do what he wants." After purging the Li Daoyu party in the city tomorrow, it is not too late to come here to discuss matters. ”
After speaking, Yang Biao walked in front of the civil and military officials, waved at them, and said loudly: "Everyone, there is nothing to do here, don't delay the Jizhou pastor to do the right thing, everyone is scattered, disperse~!" ”
When many civil officials heard Yang Biao say this, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "If you hadn't sent someone to forcibly bring us here, who would have come to such a ghost place full of corpses at such a time." Although he complained in his heart, he heard that Yang Biao asked everyone to go home first, and he couldn't ask for it, so he immediately dispersed.
After Yang Biao left with the civil and military officials, only Zhu Jun was left to accompany Han Zhan. He thought that Han Zhan had said that he would purge Li Dao's remnants, and he was afraid that it would be another big killing, so he hurriedly reminded him euphemistically: "Han Tinghou, although there are many ministers in the court who cling to Li Dao and Guo Yan, there is no way to do it. Li Guo and the two thieves have always been in power, and if the civil and military officials are not attached, they may invite themselves to be killed. ”
Han Zhan was a smart man, he heard Zhu Jun say this to himself, and he understood what the other party was worried about, so he smiled and said to him: "Please rest assured, although Benhou will not let go of a bad person, he will not kill a good person by mistake." The civil and military officials of the court, regardless of whether they were attached to Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan in the past, as long as he is loyal to the court, he can continue to stay in the court as an official. ”
When Han Zhan said this, he saw a puzzled expression on Zhu Jun's face, and hurriedly continued: "Dasi Nong, Ben Hou is definitely not a person who kills indiscriminately. will not kill all the people close to Dong Zhuo like Wang Situ did when he was in power. Those ministers who are inextricably linked with Li Dao and Guo Yan, as long as they don't do a lot of evil, Benhou will not embarrass them. ”
After getting Han Zhan's promise, Zhu Jun's hanging heart fell to the ground. After a pause, he thought of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty who was far away in Jizhou, so he asked tentatively: "Tinghou, the old man wants to ask, once the Jingshi is calm, when do you plan to welcome back the holy driver?" ”
"Da Si Nong," Han Zhan looked at him with some surprise when he heard Zhu Jun say this, and asked, "Do you mean to welcome the holy car back to Chang'an and continue to settle here?" ”
"That's right, that's what the old man wants." Regarding Han Zhan's statement, Zhu Jun nodded and said affirmatively: "Whether it is the old man, even Taiwei Yang has the same idea. ”
"No, Dasi Nong, I won't welcome the holy car back to Chang'an." After Han Zhan waited for Zhu Jun to finish speaking, he said resolutely: "Even if you want to set the capital, you should choose Yecheng, not the dilapidated Chang'an." ”
"Tinghou," hearing Han Zhan say this, a trace of anger appeared on Zhu Jun's face: "Tell me, why can't you welcome back the holy car to Chang'an?" ”
Han Zhan didn't answer this question immediately, but first beckoned Zhu Jun to sit down, and then asked, "Dasi Nong, let me ask you, how much is the grain rice in Chang'an City, and how much is the bean wheat?" Have the people of the city ever had food and clothing to worry about? ”
Han Zhan asked a few questions, and Zhu Jun stopped at once. If it was a major event in the DPRK and China, Zhu Jun could still say that he was ugly, but when he asked about the people's livelihood, he was speechless.
Seeing that Zhu Jun couldn't answer, Han Zhan said to him: "As far as Ben Hou knows, today's grain rice is 500,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan of beans and wheat, and there are cases of cannibalism in many places in the city. Before being rescued by Ben Hou, the saint had already arranged for Yang Taiwei to use Taicang's rice beans to help the victims, so that many people survived.
If we want to continue to stay in Chang'an, then we must transfer grain and grass from other places to supplement the needs of the Beijing Division. Do you think it is appropriate for us to transport grain and grass from Jizhou for a long time? ”
"What Tinghou said is extremely true." Zhu Jun is not a pedantic person, and when he heard Han Zhan explain clearly the reason why he could not welcome Emperor Han Xian back to Chang'an, he was no longer stubborn, but humbly asked: "But I don't know how Tinghou plans to do it?" ”
"As early as a few months ago, I have ordered the prison army to build a large number of buildings in Yecheng, presumably in another month, the new palace can be completed, and then the new capital can be set in Yecheng." Han Zhan felt that in order to convince the civil and military forces in the court, he must first persuade Zhu Jun in front of him: "Benhou plans to move all the civil and military officials in the Beijing division to Yecheng. As for the people, those who are willing to follow Benhou will provide them with food every day; Those who do not want to leave their hometown, Ben Hou will not be reluctant, and will leave them with the necessary food so that they can continue to live here. ”
Zhu Jun saw Han Zhan patiently explain to him the reason for giving up Chang'an, and even proposed a plan to relocate the residents of Chang'an, and suddenly understood in his heart that this Chang'an could only give up. After a short period of loss, he said to Han Zhan: "Tinghou, the old man understands. Don't worry, if you raise this matter in the court tomorrow, the old man will definitely persuade the other ministers to support you, set the new capital in Yecheng, and move all the officials and people in the city. ”
