0572: Return to Luoyang
Lu Zhi was not buried in Jinyang, but was sent to Luoyang for burial by Li Yi's order. No one objected to this, including Lu Zhi's clansmen. Because it has never been a secret that Li Yi is preparing to move the administrative office to Luoyang, and obviously, it is undoubtedly the best choice to be buried in this special place in Luoyang when he cannot be buried in his hometown.
After all, although Chang'an is now the master of the Han Dynasty, for the vast majority of people, Luoyang is still the most special existence in their minds. Moreover, as early as when he took Henan Yin, Li Yi sent people to Luoyang and selected a place with excellent feng shui and a wide area. Of course, only a few people such as Guo Jia knew about this matter.
However, according to Li Yi's original thoughts, it will take some time to move to Luoyang, after all, Luoyang has not yet recovered from the defeat, and Lu Bu and Gao Shun are also about to attack Jing Zhaoyin. At that time, Li Yike had to lead the army to Chang'an.
Jinyang Wushuang Fuzhong.
"Junhou, the letter sent by Lu Fujun!" A soldier said in a loud voice, and then presented the letter at Li Yi's signal.
"Huh? Didn't you just send the latest battle report a few days ago? Hearing the soldier's words, Guo Jia on the side asked with some curiosity.
"Hehe, maybe I'm in trouble, right? After all, Na Ma Teng inherited the army left by Dong Zhuo, and with the former Liangzhou rebels in hand, it was impossible for them to attack Chang'an so easily. Li Yi chuckled when he heard this.
"That's just as well." Guo Jia nodded when he heard this.
Speaking of which, Gao Shun and Lu Bu were able to capture Linjin and Hongnong so easily, which was really beyond the expectations of Li Yi, Xun Yu, and Guo Jia. Because in their minds, these two places are so important, it will definitely take months or even longer to take them. After all, Duan Xuan is also a famous general in Liangzhou, and it is impossible for Gao Shun to defeat him easily, and Huayin's Hu Zhen is also quite brave.
But what they didn't expect was that Gao Shun and Lu Buzhen easily took these two cities and opened the way to Jing Zhaoyin in one fell swoop.
However, although it was completely unexpected, Li Yi immediately ordered the trapping camp and the flying cavalry battalion to start preparations, and at the same time ordered a large amount of grain and grass to be transported to the east of the river.
Li Yi knew very well that even if Linjin and Huayin were attacked so easily, Chang'an would not be easy to fight. In other words, it is precisely because these two cities were successfully captured that Chang'an has become more difficult to fight. Because, this means that Ma Teng may concentrate all his forces on Chang'an City to defend to the death.
Ha? Ma Teng is vulnerable? You don't even need Li Yi to send troops to take it? Well, if it is playing a game, then Li Yi dares to guarantee that he does not need to dispatch at all, he only needs to let Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun and others bring tens of thousands of people to sweep the world, regardless of how many millions of troops the enemy has?
But it's a pity, now it's not a game, but a real war, even if Ma Teng is a pig, give him one or two hundred thousand troops, plus Chang'an City, as long as he chooses to defend it, no one in the world has the confidence to be able to win it easily.
After all, as the capital city chosen by Liu Bang, Chang'an's city defense does not need to be doubted at all. In fact, if Dong Zhuo had chosen to defend Luoyang at the beginning, it was still unknown whether the coalition forces could capture Luoyang. Because the capital is always the strongest and most difficult to take the last fortress.
It's a pity that because he was afraid of the strength of the coalition army, and at the same time worried that Li Yi would copy his back road from the southeast of the river, Dong Zhuo finally chose to retreat to Chang'an.
Li Yi opened the letter very casually, and it seemed that he didn't have any worries at all. But also, after all, it has only been a few days since the last battle report, what can happen? It's just that......
"What?!" But just after two glances, Li Yi was suddenly shocked by the content of the letter and stood up.
On the side, seeing Li Yi's stunned look, Guo Jia and Xun Yu suddenly asked in surprise, "Lord, but what went wrong at the front line?" ”
"Yes, there is indeed a very serious problem...... Li Yi replied with a wry smile, and then handed the letter over.
Seeing this, Xun Yu hurriedly took it, and Guo Jia on the side also squeezed over curiously, there was no way, after all, just a few days ago, the situation on the front line was still very good. So in their minds, even if Ma Teng chooses to defend Chang'an with all his might, with the character of Lu Bu and Gao Shun and the troops in their hands, whether it is asking for help or something else, they will have to wait until a month or two later.
"How is that possible?!" After Xun Yu and Guo Jia swept their eyes, they suddenly let out the same exclamation as Li Yi.
"yes, how is that possible? But it is a fact that in order to delay the attack of our army, Namateng directly threw hundreds of thousands of civilians to us. Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Speaking of which, he, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others have studied many times Ma Teng's possible response, but they never thought that this situation would occur, even if there is such a precedent in Shaanxi County.
After all, in this day and age, who really cares so little about the people? No! Because whether it is taxes, military resources, or even everything else, it is impossible to leave the people!
Why are Jizhou and Yuzhou the most prosperous places in the world? Why did Dong Zhuo take millions of people from Luoyang with him when he left Luoyang? That's why. But now, Ma Teng actually directly threw hundreds of thousands of people to Li Yi?
"Lord...... This...... This ......" Xun Yu trembled and took the letter in his hand, perhaps because he was too shocked, causing Xun Yu, who had always been steady, to become a little stammering. And Guo Jia on the side shook his head again and again, his expression was full of disbelief.
"Bongxian won't lie to me! And it's impossible for anyone to deceive people with this kind of thing! Li Yi looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice. Hundreds of thousands of people, to say something unpleasant, can know the truth at a glance, how can they deceive people?
"Yes...... But that's more than 500,000 people! How dare he Ma Teng...... How could it be ......" Xun Yu muttered to himself dumbfounded, obviously this matter was somewhat beyond his psychological acceptance.
But strictly speaking, anyone who hears this kind of thing will only be deeply shocked, after all...... That's more than 500,000 people!
"Okay two, now is not the time to continue to be shocked, what do you think of Feng Xian's approach?" Li Yi knocked on the case a few times and asked in a deep voice.
"My subordinates agree, these more than 500,000 people have no long things, and I am afraid that there is no place to place them except for the Luoyang area." Xun Yu came back to his senses when he heard this, and hurriedly replied respectfully, "In addition, my subordinates also agree with Lu Fujun and Gao Fujun's choice to withdraw their troops, after all, after accepting these people, I am afraid that our army's food reserves are no longer enough to continue the attack." ”
"Yes, but with Lu Fujun alone, if they want to settle so many people, I'm afraid it will be a little rushed......," Guo Jia said meaningfully when he heard this.
"Well, I think so too, so I decided to move the office to Luoyang immediately!" Li Yi naturally didn't understand what Guo Jia meant, "In addition, the Flying Cavalry Battalion, the Trap Camp, and the General Campus of the Great Dao Academy will also be relocated to Luoyang!" ”
"The lord is wise!" Xun Yu and Guo Jia hurriedly responded when they heard this.
"Also, send someone to the imperial court, move Feng Yi to Zuo Fengyi, and worship General Long Xiang! Another move Gongzhi to Hongnong County Guard, worship General Huwei! At the same time, Shi Fan was the county guard of Hedong and worshiped General Yangwu. Zhongming is the county guard of Shangdang, and he worships General Jianzhong......" Li Yi kept saying.
Although it is unlikely that Duan Xuan will betray Ma Teng's side again after surrendering to Li Yi, Li Yi has to guard against it. In addition, he wants to move the governance office to Yin, Henan, so he will simply make a big transfer. At the same time, Li Yi promoted Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others to Zhonglang generals one after another, and carried out large-scale replacements of local officials in various places.
After all, there are more Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong County all of a sudden, and if there is no large-scale exchange, it will be a very troublesome thing.
"Also, let Zilong and Yun Chang each lead 50,000 troops to enter the two cities of Changling and Baling! Didn't Ma Teng want to defend Chang'an? ! Then let him keep watching! Li Yi said in a deep voice. At the same time, tell Zilong and Yun Chang that they are not allowed to attack at will! Also, if there are people fleeing, they will receive as much as they want! ”
"No!"
When the news came out that Li Yi was going to move the administrative office to Luoyang, most of the officials, including Sima Hui and others, were extremely excited. Just like the one mentioned earlier, although Luo Yang is no longer a Jingshi, he is still the most special existence. And now, the lord they worked for is about to enter Luoyang, which ...... Does it mean something?
Whether it is a precursor to the imminent return and stability of the world, or ...... But it is clear that everyone is extremely supportive of Li Yi's decision to move to the office.
Of course, for the people of Jinyang, deep down they naturally don't want Li Yi to leave. After all, after Li Yi's governance moved to Jinyang, the development of Jinyang was very rapid, which also allowed the people of Jinyang to live a more prosperous life.
"Send someone to Jiuyuan County to prepare, and find a day to move our Li family's cemetery to Luoyang." Li Yi summoned Wang Gai and commanded. Although this matter should be handled by him personally, but with a population of 500,000 stationed in Yin, Henan, there will not be too many problems at that time, and Li Yi is not at ease to hand over this matter to others.
Moving the ancestral tombs of the ancestors of the Li family to Luoyang is something that Li Yi has always hoped to do. In Li Yan's last words in the past, he was full of helplessness about what happened to the Li family and the current situation. If the ancestral tomb can be moved to Luoyang, Li Yan or even Li Ling will be very happy, right? And for Li Yi, even if he doesn't move now, he will have to move in the future, after all......
"Please rest assured! My subordinates will definitely handle this! Wang Gai hurriedly said when he heard this.
Subsequently, Li Yi rushed to Luoyang with Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other staff, while Cai Yan and the rest of the women left with the trapping camp and the flying cavalry camp. After a hurried journey, we finally arrived in Luoyang in mid-October.
"Speaking of which, the last time I came to Luoyang, I was still ordered to meet the first emperor, but now I ......" Looking at the still majestic Luoyang City in front of him, Li Yi sighed with emotion.
Although it has regained a trace of vitality under the governance of Lu Bu and others, it is obviously still very different from the prosperous Luoyang in the past, especially the desolation seen along the way......
"The subordinates believe that under the governance of the lord, Luoyang will definitely return to its previous prosperity." Xun Yu said respectfully when he heard this. Among these people, I'm afraid only Xun Yu can understand Li Yi's mood, right? After all, he is the only one who has been to Luoyang in the past and has seen the legendary prosperity.
"Hehe, the prosperity of the past? No! In my hands, Luoyang will become the real first city in the world! Li Yi said with a chuckle when he heard this, although his tone was light, but he was full of absolute confidence.
While speaking, Xu Shu, Zhu Hao and others, who had already rushed back from Jing Zhaoyin, heard the news and came out of the city to greet them, praised them, and Li Yi led everyone into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, Li Yi saw countless soldiers standing on the left and right sides of the streets in the city, and at the same time, he also saw countless people behind the soldiers. When they saw Li Yi or Xiaobai, the people first shook for a moment, and then burst into huge cheers and shouts.
"They are ......," Li Yi looked at Xu Shu and Zhu Hao with a slightly reproachful gaze.
"Enlighten the lord, because I don't know who spread the news of the lord's guild today's arrival, so the people spontaneously gathered here to greet the lord. Although his subordinates persuaded him, they didn't listen to ...... at all," Xu Shu said with some tears and laughter when he heard this.
"Yes, in order to welcome the lord, they have been waiting here early, as if they are worried that they will miss the time for the lord to enter the city." Zhu Hao, who was on the side, couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"Really?" Hearing this, Li Yi looked around at everyone as he walked forward. Everywhere the eye looks, there is always a frantic shout. It seems that as long as this is the case, Li Yi's gaze can stay here for a moment.
And from the faces of these people, Li Yi saw gratitude, worship, and respect, and these eyes touched Li Yi's heart very much. "Gentleman, Zhou also. Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. What people need is actually very simple, they have food, clothing and shelter, and they don't have to worry about the safety of themselves and their families. But why is it so difficult to achieve such a simple requirement? Could it be that the emperors of all dynasties and the scholars of the court did not understand? Li Yi couldn't help but murmur.
Hearing Li Yi's words, Xun Yu and the others were silent, after all, Li Yi's words can be described as a super map cannon, and the scope of the attack is too big.
Suddenly, an old man didn't know how to break through the interception of the soldiers, rushed to Li Yi and knelt down, while shouting, "Thank you Wushuang Hou for saving the lives of our family...... Thank you Wushuang Hou for letting us live a stable life again......"
The old man's voice was not loud, but when he rushed out and knelt in front of Li Yi, all the cheers and shouts disappeared at the same time. And after the old man's words fell, hundreds of people all knelt on the ground, chanting words similar to those of the old man.
Some of them were people who stayed in Yin, Henan Province and were harassed by the exiles, some were displaced people attracted during this time, and some were refugees from Jingzhaoyin.
But what is the same is that they are all able to live a peaceful and stable life again because of Li Yi. As Li Yi said, sometimes, the people really don't ask for much......
