Chapter 369: Xu Du's Movements

Regained control of Luoyang City.

The Luoyang officials who originally supported Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, as well as some big families, had many who followed Yuan Shao and left, but some stayed, thinking that as long as they expressed their submission, there would not be much danger.

However.

The truth is not as rosy as they think.

Qin Yin didn't have the idea of letting go of these wall grasses in his heart, and he didn't want the incident of Hangu Pass to happen again, that time, he had lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

These are all elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, and they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

There was no mercy, and he didn't pay attention to these people's begs for mercy, and directly let the soldiers pull these people down.

After the investigation of the detectives, he knew that among these people, none of them were persecuted, but they were willing to help Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.

If you do, you have to take responsibility for your own decisions.

Although Yuan Shao and Liu Biao had already left Luoyang City, there were no soldiers stationed there, and there was no battle, but on this day, Luoyang City was still full of blood.

Many officials and clans who took refuge in Yuan Shao and Liu Biao and remained in Luoyang City were purged, just like the day Qin Yin took over Dong Zhuo's power a long time ago and let Emperor Han Xian move the capital to Chang'an City.

Those who are not convinced, those who refute, those who do evil, etc., a series of people have been purged by Qin Yin, and the families and some officials who were killed were panicked, although the people were afraid, but because the Qin army did not kill indiscriminately, let alone take the opportunity to do anything wrong, they just killed the people who should be killed, which made their hearts a lot more stable.

There are many people who still applaud it, after all, they are the existence of those who are oppressed.

These people are killed, and they will only be happy, and they will not have any other emotions.

Qin Yin didn't immediately pursue Yuan Shao or Liu Biao, but just took refuge in Yuan Shao and Liu Biao in Luoyang City, but stayed here.

After all, if you want to crusade against Liu Biao and seize Jingzhou, you can't do it in a day or two.

……

When Qin Yin was purging the officials and clans in Luoyang City.

In the city of Xudu.

Cao Cao is now also convening a group of subordinates.

Wait for the rest of the people to sit down according to their seats.

Cao Cao gestured to Xi Zhicai.

"Lord, now that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are gone, and they are also evacuating from Hangu Pass, among which Liu Biao did not lead the army to evacuate directly to Luoyang City, but bypassed Luoyang City, and withdrew directly to the land of Jingzhou, obviously, the alliance between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao was declared broken."

"And the Qin army will definitely not give up easily, and will definitely continue to pursue, and then take the opportunity to recapture Luoyang City, Tiger Prison Pass and other places!"

Xi Zhicai also received Cao Cao's signal, understood Cao Cao's thoughts, and told all the latest news he got this time.

Hear the words.

Xun Yu and the others also changed their faces.

This is not a trivial matter, and the defeat of the coalition forces will also affect their side.

You must know that when Yuan Shao and Liu Biao raised troops to attack Qin Yin, they also united with Liu Bei and asked him to send troops, and the troops were in Qian County, obviously guarding against them, afraid that they would unite with the Qin army and launch an attack from behind them.

Therefore.

Cao Cao also sent two brothers, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, to lead an army of 50,000 and stationed in Runan, where they were in a stalemate with the Xuzhou army.

And Liu Bei obviously didn't think about starting a war with them, and the soldiers were just warning them not to make a move.

Even if they knew it, they could only mobilize their troops and horses to guard Runan and guard against the Xuzhou army, after all, if they moved troops to the rear of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, then Liu Bei would most likely take advantage of the emptiness of their rear and attack their territory.

And 50,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched to guard Runan, and there were not too many soldiers and horses, which was not enough to deal with the coalition army, so they could only pay attention to the situation in the place where they were subordinate.

Besides, 8 they also had to dispatch soldiers and horses to garrison Runan, after all, there was an opportunity, and they didn't dare to guarantee that the Xuzhou army stationed in Qian County would not make any moves, just warn.

Be prepared, that's a must, don't dare to take risks.

"What do you think we should do about this?" Cao Cao glanced at everyone and asked.

Before, he didn't make any moves, but that doesn't mean he didn't have ideas, he just had scruples, and now...

"Lord, my subordinates think that this time we can take the opportunity to attack the land of Jizhou, the Yuan army suffered a defeat in Hangu Pass, all the grain and grass were burned, the army's heart has been lost, and our army has been recuperating for a long time, and the attack will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"As for the Xuzhou army, it doesn't need to pay too much attention, as long as it doesn't mobilize the soldiers and horses of Runan, it is enough to make the Xuzhou army dare not move!"

"And the land of Jingzhou, I think the Qin army will have some plans, and it is not appropriate to collide with it."

Xi Zhicai also said his thoughts.

The last sentence was also because of Cao Cao, so he mentioned it like this.

Cao Cao didn't have the idea of starting a war with Qin Yin, and he told him such a thing.

Otherwise.

According to his real idea, that is, to occupy the land of Jingzhou, not the land of Jizhou, but Cao Cao didn't want to, he could only make some changes and set his sights on Yuan Shao.

wants to seize the land of Jizhou.

Heard Xi Zhicai's proposal.

Cao Cao touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you think?" ”

He had some plans in mind, but he still wanted to ask the rest of them for their opinions, to see if there were any other better ideas.

Xun Yu and the others looked at each other and said, "Subordinates and others seconded the proposal!" ”

Xun Yu and other strategists did not know that they were plotting to seize Jingzhou, and for them, it was the best choice, but Xi Zhicai proposed to seize the land of Jizhou, which made them feel that there was a difference.

It's clear what there's in it.

Therefore, when Cao Cao asked, they did not make any objections.

Although planning Jizhou is worse than Jingzhou, it is also a good idea, and it is also the second choice in their hearts.

Except for this, their ideas are not much different from those of Xi Zhicai, and at such a good time, if there is no movement, this is not in line with their ideas.

"In this way, this matter will be prepared by Zhicai, and it will start early tomorrow morning!" Cao Cao commanded.

"No!"

And all the people who were sitting down also responded.

You know, they've been recuperating for a long time, and they've already had ideas, but there's just no right time.

Soon.

The city of Xudu was also running rapidly, and fast horses galloped out, heading everywhere, conveying Cao Cao's orders.
