Executed Dong Zhuo, whether it was Emperor Xian, or Lu Bu and Wang Yun, they finally got out of the evil breath in their hearts, but they couldn't relax, Dong Zhuo brought them huge pressure from the west when he ruled Guanzhong, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops once they went east, their end can be imagined, with Dong Zhuo's character and their hatred with Dong Zhuo, once Dong Zhuo broke through Luoyang, they would die without a place to bury, and now that Dong Zhuo is dead, it stands to reason that they should clap their hands and celebrate, But they didn't have time to rejoice when they found that there was an even more formidable opponent to the west, a young, resourceful, civilian, military general, hundreds of thousands of armoured soldiers, a huge territory, a large population, abundant materials, and a righteous name (the Great Han clan), it was really difficult for them to see a chance of victory. The only thing that can reassure Wang Yun is that he and Liu Zhang do not have an undying grudge, even if they are defeated and captured, they will lose their rights, but there is no problem in being a rich man for the rest of his life; Although Lu Bu is also very likely to save his life, if he, who claims to be the best in the world, really loses his rights and lets him live the rest of his life plainly, then he would rather die in battle; Emperor Xian's mind is the most complicated, he hopes that Liu Zhang can revitalize the Han family, but he is afraid that once Liu Zhang sweeps the world, he will definitely be lonely in the south, this is not that he is suspicious, but it will definitely happen, Liu Zhang is willing to return the world he has worked hard to Emperor Xian? Even if Liu Zhang is willing, can Liu Zhang's civil and military, soldiers, and even the people agree? What's more, Liu Zhang's inheritance of the throne of the Han Dynasty as a member of the Han clan is also a well-deserved thing, but how will Liu Zhang treat him, the "first emperor", after he is called the emperor? The best thing to do is to kill secretly to prevent future trouble! He seemed to see the picture of Liu Zhang, wearing a dragon robe, handing him a glass of dove wine......

No matter what Emperor Xian, Lu Bu, and Wang Yun think, they can all be put into the future and think slowly, but there is one thing that must be solved! That is the question of how Liu Zhang should be rewarded for such a great achievement this time.

It is reported that Liu Zhang has accumulated 200,000 troops in Guanzhong, and another 100,000 Xiliang prisoners have been taken into custody, and as long as Liu Zhang is willing, he can command at least 300,000 troops to conquer Luoyang in less than half a year......

This is the reason why Lu Bu was heavy when he saw Dong Zhuo kneeling in front of him, obviously, once Liu Zhang sent troops to Luoyang, he would definitely not just take Tongguan Road, don't forget that there is still an army of 100,000 troops of Liu Zhang's Second Field Army entrenched in the south of Luoyang, with a total of 400,000 troops in both directions, excluding the troops left behind, at least 300,000 or 300,000 troops can be dispatched, what does he want to resist? After Dong Zhuo's forced migration, what is the total population of Luoyang? He only has half of the state, and it is a sparsely populated and barren west! Lu Bu would not be so stupid as to think that relying on the "friendship" established by the two sides through the trade of war horses and grain could make Liu Zhang give up his greedy gaze on Luoyang!

Lu Bu couldn't help but think of a map in his mind, Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Tuan Tuan besieged him who was alone! Why did he occupy Luoyang, the land of four wars? There are enemies on all sides, even if he can sprinkle beans into soldiers, he can't find so many beans! He desperately tried to find an ally, the Huns? Greedy, disregarding faith, can't be trusted at all! Yuan Shao? How to resolve the long-term fighting on the front line of Huguan and the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides? Even if he withdraws from merging states in exchange for forming an alliance with Yuan Shao, will tens of thousands of soldiers who have planted the seeds of hatred for Yuan Shao in their hearts return to Luoyang to overthrow him? It's not surprising that a red-eyed soldier can do anything! Cao Cao? Just because his father was killed in Xuzhou, he twice cut down Xu, slaughtered countless cities, and refused Tao Qian's intention to cut the land and ask for peace, Cao's father did not die at the hands of Tao Qian Cao Cao is still so unrelenting (everyone in the world knows that Cao Cao is coveting the wealth of Xuzhou, and also knows that Cao Cao is the heart of saving both public and private interests to recruit Xu), but Cao Ren and Cao Hong died in his hands, and he also stabbed Cao Cao in the back again and again when Cao Cao's victory was watching, he believed that if he fell into the hands of Cao Cao, it would not be much better than the ending of Dong Zhuo falling into his hands, Can he still hope to reconcile with Cao Cao? No!

Now Lu Bu only hopes to be able to drag Liu Zhang, so that he has time to expel Yuan Shao from the state, as long as Liu Zhang attacks him after he takes the entire state, then he can calmly throw Luoyang to Liu Zhang, lead his troops to retreat across the Yellow River, condescendingly, and look down on the whole of Hebei!

How to hold Liu Zhang back? To the war horse? Lu Bu himself doesn't feel enough, where is there anything to give away? What's more, Liu Zhang captured Liangzhou, and he still had less horses? Grain? Please, he's always been buying from Liu Zhang! Population? He was reckless in his ruling area, and almost all the strong men joined the army, leaving the old and weak women and children to farm, even if Liu Zhang wanted these people, he couldn't give them! gave Liu Zhang, where did he go to collect taxes? And pro? His daughter is only seven years old this year, and Liu Zhang is willing to marry a "daughter" back? Thinking about it, it seems that the only way is to be a high-ranking official!

Lu Bu's thoughts coincided with Wang Yun, Wang Yun knew that he was just a superficial scenery, although Lu Bu obeyed him, but only Lu Bu was the real master, and he could be killed by the moody Lu Bu at any time without a soldier or a general in his hands! Even if Lu Bu didn't kill him, he would have to think more about his future, wouldn't he? Lu Bu is in a bad situation, and it is very likely that he will lose in the battle for hegemony, what should he do if Lu Bu loses? Could it be that he said that Lu Bu would be martyred, he was unwilling to agree! Lu Bu's master has failed, just find another master! He believed that with his mind, he could enjoy all the glory and wealth wherever he went! Who should I look for this backup? Cao Cao? Cao Ren and Cao Hong can say that they died in his hands, but he didn't dare to throw himself into the net? Yuan Shao? He has never been optimistic about this person, when Yuan Shao was in Luoyang, he had a good relationship with him, he knew Yuan Shao's character flaws, Yuan Shao was indecisive, he did big things and spared his life, saw small profits and forgot his life, he was by no means a hero! Then it seems that the only one available to him is Liu Zhang, who is in full swing! That being the case, why not give Liu Zhang a favor now, maybe one day he will receive a miracle effect? What's more, no matter how prominent the official position Liu Zhang is, he will not lose a penny!

When Lu Bu and Wang Yun reached an agreement, the matter was settled.

Lu Bu pretended to ask Emperor Xian how to reward Liu Zhang, and how Emperor Xian dared to call the shots, and hurriedly asked Lu Bu what he should do. Lu Bu immediately said a shocking word, he actually proposed that the emperor confer Liu Zhang as the king of Shu, and Wang Yun immediately seconded the proposal. Emperor Xian was naturally reluctant in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the ministers, hoping that someone would object, but what disappointed him was that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military saw Emperor Xian's earnest gaze, and they all lowered their heads, saying that Liu Zhang's meritorious service was outstanding, otherwise he couldn't show his merits. These people are afraid of Lu and Wang, and they also have similar thoughts to Wang Yun, since they don't have the strength to compete for the world, then find a refuge with this strength, as long as they can keep the noble and generous lords, and enjoy the glory.

Emperor Xian let out a long sigh in his heart, once Liu Zhang ascended the throne of the King of Shu, it would be easy to go further in the future, and it seemed that his days as this puppet emperor would begin to count down! No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he had to agree with Lu Bu's opinion on the surface.

Immediately, the Huangmen squire wrote a holy decree, and after offering the emperor's seal, he could only get the holy decree into the hands of Liu Zhang, and he was the rightful King of Shu!

In order to pull the cage, or to confuse Liu Zhang, according to Lu Bu's opinion, Liu Zhang was not only named the king of Shu, but also the three states of Yi, Jing, Liang and Sanfu were all the food of the king of Shu, but also gave Liu Zhang nine tin, licensed him to crown 12 times, and went out to the police, and the same as the son of heaven! Wang Yun also selected four good-looking people who could sing and dance from among the courtesans he was attached to and sent them to Chengdu with the holy decree.

Liu Zhang didn't know this, seeing that Guanzhong was on the right track, he couldn't help but miss his family in Chengdu, and then he had the idea of returning to Yizhou.

Before going back, Liu Zhang had to do two things, one was to worship Liu Bang in person; The second is more important, Liu Zhang intends to move to Chang'an tomorrow, and Chang'an after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, temporarily does not have the conditions as a huge Yizhou group, must leave a capable person to build Chang'an, and in order to prevent the invasion of the Huns, but also to leave a wise and brave general to sit in the town, in order to resist the Huns, after careful consideration, Liu Zhang decided to stay in the general capital of Guanzhong government affairs, Wei Yan is in charge of the military, the two of them are one civil and one military, cooperate with each other, enough to ensure the stable development of Guanzhong. Moreover, Man Chong and Wei Yan are also one of the first few people to serve Liu Zhang, and their qualifications are absolutely sufficient, and there is no problem with loyalty.

In 195 AD, on the sixth day of December in the second year of Han Xingping, Liu Zhang's class returned to Chengdu, and Wei Yan, Manzhong and other people who stayed in Guanzhong sent out 20 miles, and then bid farewell to Liu Zhang.

At the time of the Northern Expedition, the mighty 190,000 troops, the victory of the return to the dynasty but only 70,000, and the people accounted for more than 50,000, obviously the main force of the Northern Expedition did not return to Chengdu, Hanzhong, so that Yizhou will be Liu Zhang's stable rear, no longer need a large number of troops to garrison, after the relocation of Liu Zhang's eyes will be directed to the Central Plains, rather than let the army go back and forth between Chengdu and Chang'an in vain, it is better to leave them in Chang'an, not only to ensure the stability of Chang'an, but also to seize the time to train, so that it can be improved, and prepare for the next day to fight on the battlefield again.
