Chapter 118: Leaving Luoyang
Hello dear readers, seeing this sentence means that you have read the book of the fat man, I hope you can take a second to add the book of the fat man to the shelf, thank you
"Cao wants to thank the general."
"General Cao, it's Lord Wang Yun who should be thanked, right?" I squinted and stopped and said to Cao Cao.
"General, Cao Moujing is a hero, I originally hoped that you could stay in Luoyang and do your best for the Han, but I don't know why the general insisted on going back to the bitter cold land over there." Cao Cao asked knowingly.
"Haha, Mengde, this king knows that you are a smart person, and it would be better if you didn't say some things!"
"Please also ask the general to speak clearly!"
"Okay, since you want to hear it, this king will talk to you, this king and you are also considered to be in love, knowing that you are a loyal minister, dedicated to the Han, but unfortunately the situation of the Han Dynasty today is irreversible, the current situation is just a return to the light, the root of the decay of the Han Dynasty lies in the wealthy family, this should be clearer than me, after all, your Cao family is also a family, you are loyal to the court but can not save the people from fire and water, this king knows that you have great talent, ambition, family also has power, the future is destined to be a hero, It's just that there is a lack of a chance to play freely, and this is the opportunity this king will give you, this king needs an ally, together with the troubled times, in order to end, with the power of this king, it takes too long, and it is still the people who suffer at that time, this king can give you a promise, only if there are two of our princes left in the world, this king will meet you with swords, I hope you can return the people under your rule as soon as possible to live and work in peace and contentment. "I said to Cao Cao as I walked, but this Cao Cao was too short, and when I walked too close, I simply didn't look at him, and said directly in front of me.
"Hehe, general, what a good opinion, your rhetoric, just because Cao is a loyal minister, aren't you afraid that Cao will assassinate you now?" Cao Cao didn't expect that under the public of this court, Chu Fatzi would dare to say that the Han Dynasty was going to die.
"Meng De, it's not that this king underestimates your martial arts, it's just that now even if you have the ability, you don't dare to assassinate, because you don't really understand this king. Okay, Mengde, I hope that by the time we talk next time, you will already be a prince of the dominant side. Leave. ”
"Farewell!" Cao Cao stayed where he was, thinking about Chu Xiong's rebellious theory.
…………
As soon as I returned to the General's Mansion, I first summoned all the core personnel to the Mansion. After everyone arrived at the mutual ceremony, I announced the news of returning to Youzhou tomorrow, and everyone was very happy after hearing it, everyone has been away from Youzhou for more than half a year, and of course they are happy to go home.
"Yuan Zhi, how was the reaction of the Luoyang family during this time?" After everyone was quiet, I asked Xu Shudao.
Xu Shu immediately sat up straight and clasped his fists, and then replied, "It didn't happen much, it's just ,......", Xu Shu showed a distressed look.
I frowned slightly, "Just what?" ”
"Lord, the common people of Luoyang are very welcoming to us, but the scholars and the great families don't seem to be very friendly to us! Moreover, they also joined forces with many old ministers who were rescued by the lord and kept asking us to obey His Majesty's command, and there were even people who asked us to hand over our military power, saying that Luoyang should be managed by their central ministers, and we are outsiders who are not suitable for managing Luoyang! ”
Zhang Fei suddenly stood up, stared at a pair of ring-eyed eyes and said loudly; "Master Xu, why haven't you told me these things? If you had told me Lao Zhang, I would have beaten those bastards into pigs' heads! ”
"With your impulsive temper, would Yuan Zhi dare to tell you earlier?! Sit down! Stop talking nonsense! In fact, some people in the early dynasty made a challenge to this king this morning, but they were all resolved. I glared at Zhang Fei and snorted softly, and continued.
When Zhang Fei heard me speak, he didn't dare not listen.
Zhang Fei sat down, although he didn't make any more noise, but he was panting heavily. It's no wonder that Zhang Fei is so angry, even I am angry, not to mention Zhang Fei, who has always been hot-tempered.
Suddenly hearing Yuan Zhi's report, I was taken aback, and at the same time very angry. I didn't expect these conservative forces to be so ignorant, thinking that when the emperor returned, this would become the central imperial capital of the Han Dynasty again, I really don't know if the 30,000 people of the Yuan family's forces are not worth dying! The effect of the warning has not been achieved?
It is no wonder that in history, Cao Cao carried out a purge of the courtiers soon after holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes! These courtiers are so hateful that they want to slaughter them.
"Who are the families who are against us?" , I asked slowly. As I said this, a cold light inadvertently flashed in my eyes.
Chen Gong was shocked, and hurriedly said to Chu Xiong: "Lord." Don't be reckless! ”
I smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know it." I just want to know who they are. ”
"Yes. They are a family represented by the Hedong Wei family. Especially this? The Wei family, they have a strong influence in the people and the court, they are against us, and it is extremely unfavorable for us to control Luoyang! ”
"The Wei family? Hehe, interesting. It seems that it was not enough to clean it last time, but now it is all jumping. I sneered, and then fell silent. Everyone in the hall looked at me nervously, especially Xu Shu, who was afraid that Chu Xiong would make another irrational decision. Anyway, I'm going to leave Luoyang, so don't offend so many people.
After a while, I said: "Although the family is famous and has a lot of influence among the people, its strength is limited after all, and they dare not go against us under normal circumstances. ”
Guo Jia nodded, picked up the conversation and continued; "What the lord said is very true! These people are slippery heads, they know how to protect themselves best, and it is impossible for these people to come out and jump without certainty!
"That's good, don't care about these useless families in Luoyang, notify it, let the Heavenly Wolf Army in Luoyang withdraw from Luoyang, join the Heavenly Wolf Army outside the city, and set off back to Youzhou tomorrow."
Outside the city the next day, the 100,000 Heavenly Wolf Army had been assembled, and then I and the generals under my command led 3,000 tiger guards to walk towards the north gate in a neat formation.
The people of Luoyang City heard that Chu Xiong and his Heavenly Wolf Army were leaving Luoyang yesterday because of the withdrawal of the Heavenly Wolf Army from the city defense. Under the deliberate guidance of well-intentioned people, the people all believed that Chu Xiong would ask His Majesty to leave Luoyang because of the difficulties of the hundred officials. The people were grateful to the Heavenly Wolf Army that had guarded them for several months, and at the same time, they hated those Luoyang clan giants even more.
In the past, due to the bad performance of Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang City, the people already had a grudge against the current Sili army, while Chu Xiong's army left an excellent impression in the hearts of the people because of its strict military discipline, being kind to the people, and punishing the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who plagued the people.
Although His Majesty has returned to the court now, can a nine-year-old little boy know what loyalty is and what adultery is? Such a good official as the general was squeezed out by hundreds of officials everywhere, and now he is leaving, and the people are all indignant for Chu Xiong, and they all hope that Chu Xiong can continue to stay and continue to protect them.
The people are actually easy to satisfy, as long as you meet their basic requirements, they will be willing to do anything for you.
However, not all people think this way. There were still many people in Luoyang City who were ecstatic when they heard the news that Chu Xiong was leaving. The vast majority of them were of the noble class.
After receiving the exact news that the Heavenly Wolf Army was leaving Luoyang, many of the warriors were preparing to celebrate. In fact, the reason why the scholars don't like Chu Xiong is because Chu Xiong is not from a wealthy family, and he likes to kill the wealthy scholars, which makes everyone frightened.
The people gathered around the streets, silent. Watching the well-groomed tiger guards slowly leave, many people showed reluctance.
Chu Xiong and Cai Yan sat in the newly made sunshade car, that is, a big umbrella was set up on the carriage, and there were only two fixed chairs on the car without shelter all around, and Guan Yu led the tiger guard to the north gate, at this time the north gate was crowded with people, Chu Xiong and his soldiers could not continue to move forward at all, so they had to stop temporarily.
At this moment, a group of old people suddenly knelt down in front of them and shouted to see the general. When I learned about the situation, I quickly had them brought up.
The old people, both men and women, were thin and thin, their complexions were a little yellow, and basically all their beards and hair were white.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you want to see this king, but is there something wrong?" , I asked pleasantly.
The old men didn't answer immediately, and suddenly knelt down, "General, we know that you are a good official, and you can stand up for our poor people, don't you kill some villains who oppress the people, and commit thieves who make trouble?" The Luoyang Shi clan can't tolerate the general! We hope that the general can stay, although we are old, if the general is unwilling to stay, let me wait to fight this old bone with the general to garrison the border stopper! The old people were very excited, and their eyes were a little red.
Before I could react, the people around me knelt down together, "General, please stay!" ”
Then there was a quiet silence where the needles fell. Everyone looked at Chen Chu with longing in their eyes, hoping that he would nod.
All the soldiers and strategists under my command were all so moved that they couldn't help themselves, and everyone was proud, extremely proud to be a member of the Heavenly Wolf Army, and to follow under the command of the great general Chen Chu.
I was also moved, but at the same time a little guilty and a little helpless.
I rolled over and dismounted and came to the old people and helped the thousand-year-old man up. Looking at the old, longing face in front of me, I really didn't know what to say.
I sighed, "Why are you doing this, old man? Then he looked around and said, "Everyone get up and listen to me." ”
The people looked at each other, and then they all stood up.
"Your Majesty has returned to the court today, we are just guarding the border, we should go back to guard the border, if our army does not go back, it will be difficult to calm the border, and the people on the border will be miserable if they are invaded by foreign tribes. That's something I don't want to see. The guards of Luoyang City will be under the jurisdiction of General Cao Cao, who is personally sent by His Majesty, and General Cao is also a good official who loves the people like a son, you can live in Luoyang with peace of mind, and this king has time to come back to see you! ”
Seeing that Chu Xiong's decision to leave had been decided, the people didn't say anything more. The old man presented a jar of wine and said in a choked voice; "General, since you have to leave for the sake of the overall situation, how can we stop it! We poor people don't have anything to get their hands on, so we just need a jar of home-brewed wine to show our hearts, and ask the general not to dislike it! ”
Chen Chu solemnly took the small jar of wine offered by the old man's hands. Immediately slapped open the mud seal, raised his head and drank heavily. Xu Shu, Guo Jia and the others were shocked when they saw this, if the other party harbored evil intentions and poisoned the wine, what should it be! Guo Jia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Xu Shu grabbed him, even if there was a problem, it was already too late at this time, and it would also destroy the current atmosphere.
I drank the little jar of wine in one go, and then laughed, "Hahaha, what a good wine!" ”
Everyone's hearts suddenly swelled with an inexplicable emotion, and they knelt down together and said, "Congratulations on sending the general out of the city!" "It's a spectacular and touching scene.
I let out a sigh of relief, burped, got back into the carriage, and led the men straight out of the north gate. I smiled in my heart: Leaving for the time being, just to have a better possession, this Luoyang Palace is so magnificent, it is not for Liu Xie's residence, of course, it is for himself.
I hope that friends who like this book, help top, collect, comment and comment, these don't need money, move your little fingers, the world will be better. Thank you, thank you!
