Chapter 228: Eradicating the Scourge
Just when Guan Yu and the sergeants were at a loss, they saw the monks walking over with a person, Guan Yu saw that this person was the modern archmage, he had been tied up strongly, his face had been blurred by the wind and dust, his face was haggard, and he no longer had the arrogance before, it turned out that he joined hands with the monks to hide in the hidden tunnels of the White Horse Temple to avoid Guan Yu's edge, but his perverse behavior coupled with Guan Yu's powerful offensive, the group of monks under him saw that many monks who surrendered were all safe, Then he moved his faith to bind this modernity, poured him out of the dark passage, and handed him over to Guan Yu completely.
Why is this happening? It turns out that on the one hand, he is constantly amassing wealth, and on the other hand, he is constantly becoming bigger and stronger, but what about being his subordinate? As his subordinates, on the one hand, they have to obey his command to do things for him, but on the other hand, they can't drink wine and eat meat, and still live a frugal life, which is the most basic life needs and nothing else, this modern archmage takes all the wealth they get for himself, and constantly expands his power, because he continues to grow bigger and stronger, and violently collects wealth, Coupled with his so-called legendary spells and the god-like status he had established in the White Horse Temple, his subordinates had to obey him, and if they dared to resist, they would die without a place to be buried.
Under the cruel rule of modern times, his subordinates have to work the one hand, but on the other hand, they can't get the wealth they deserve, and they are all complaining in their hearts, and they are already dissatisfied with him, and now the court is going to move him. As a subordinate, he immediately defected, tied him up and sent him to Guan Yu
Modern is completely planted now. is like a building that is about to collapse, and it no longer has the domineering spirit it used to be. He never thought that the results of so many years of painstaking management would be wiped out for a while, he never thought that he would fall on a hairy boy who was much younger than himself and had just entered Luoyang, he had to sigh that this kid was amazing, Modern was escorted to Guan Yu on the spot, Guan Yu asked: "What else does Modern have to say?" ”
"Guan Yu lost this time, count you ruthlessly! I didn't expect the old man to fall into your hands, I underestimated you and didn't say anything, this time I lost completely. But Guan Yu, I don't know something, why do you have to put me to death? I didn't suffer from you, I didn't mess with you, I sent you a heavy gift when you got married, but not only did you not give face but also avenged me, I don't understand what it was for? I've done a lot of hurtful things, but I haven't offended you, why can't you get along with me in every way! Yes? Modern Guan Yu said.
After hearing this, Guan Yu said solemnly: "You didn't offend me, and I don't want to get along with you, there is no love or hate for no reason in the world, you have committed a lot of crimes." Heaven is intolerable, it is not just someone who offends but the entire people of Luoyang, it is the people who want to bring you to justice, and it is God who wants to get along with you. Your perverse deeds have deeply touched these things, and I am just doing the right thing for heaven and eliminating this evil for the people! If you hadn't done so many evil things. How can I not get along with you? ”
Guan Yu's words were speechless all of a sudden, and Guan Yu continued: "As a Buddhist, we should advocate punishing evil and promoting good. rob the rich and help the poor, and surpass all things. Purify all beings, and what have you done? On the contrary, you are doing evil things with a lot of crimes under the guise of Buddhism, and you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice, and you will repay good and evil will not be reported before the time comes, this is the truth of Buddhism, you don't ask what to do, ask yourself more! ”
Guan Yu said this modern suddenly had nothing to say, these words hit the nail on the head, yes, as a person of the Buddhist family, he took advantage of the loophole and climbed to the position of the host of the White Horse Temple, he is a scheming person and a careerist with means, this modern use of crooked ways and evil ways to constantly climb to the pinnacle of power, he has no life to enter the office, but he is good at climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and the people in the government are bigger and stronger step by step, constantly squeezing money and then bribing the people in the court, using stronger and stronger connections to continuously expand the power, This has formed a circle, a vicious circle of expansion towards interests, if it weren't for Guan Yu, even if he stopped the eradication of modernity, it would be impossible to take modernity if he continued in this cycle, and the final result was to control the entire Luoyang and then look at the world, because his ambition drove him to never be satisfied, but the path he took was another path that was diametrically opposed to Guan Yu
Guan Yu completely eliminated Yang Yi and Modern this time, the two were soon brought to Luoyang City, and they were all brought to justice, Yang Yi was deposed and demoted to a commoner, Modern was assigned to labor and conscripted into the army, the county order of Luoyang County was dismissed and investigated, and all the monks of the White Horse Temple were conscripted into the army, leaving only a few monks to continue to stay in the White Horse Temple, and the scale of the White Horse Temple was also reduced, only two temples were retained, and the rest were closed and used as the office of the imperial court. And all the surplus wealth accumulated in modern times was used as military expenses to support the 30,000 monks, so Guan Yu quickly calmed down this turmoil, and the internal troubles of the entire Luoyang were eradicated again.
Eradicated Luoyang's internal troubles Guan Yu began to re-gather talents, the previous time he excavated Chen Gong, Ren Jun, Zhou Cang and others but did not give them the right title, this time after settling, Guan Yu began to re-collect these talents to return to the position, he decided to promote Chen Gong for his own other driving (is the fourth product), recommended Ren Jun as the pawn farmer Zhonglang (deputy three products) to focus on Luoyang's agricultural production, and promoted Zhou Cang to the tent lieutenant (Zheng Sipin), to put it bluntly, he is his own bodyguard, so he collected all the talents in place.
But there is one exception, who? That's the little girl he took in in Luoyang before, she followed herself to Luoyang, and now she is helpless and has no relatives, although this little girl is a female streamer, she has an extraordinary hand, with a body of martial arts, Guan Yu really can't think of a role for her, and then Guan Yu finally came up with a suitable position after some pondering, what position? That is to let her be the bodyguard of her wife's room, that is, let her be responsible for the personal safety of Diao Chan and Wan'er, these women can't be left unprotected, and this little girl is the most suitable candidate
Just when Guan Yu was busy dealing with Luoyang's affairs, Li Dao and others who were far away in Chang'an were restless, before Li Dao listened to Jia Xu's persuasion and watched the changes, but after this period of observation, it was found that Guan Yu was not as Jia Xu said, the situation in Luoyang was not out of control, Guan Yu was at ease in Luoyang, and this time he successfully eradicated the scourge of Luoyang, and the entire Luoyang was taken care of by him in an orderly manner.
Li Wei then found Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures, Jia Xu said that Li Dao said: "Guan Yu entrenched in Luoyang this time and promoted a lot of newcomers, the situation in Luoyang has been firmly controlled by him, now Luoyang is strong and strong, Guan Yu holds the military power, control the situation in the DPRK and China, if the chance of rash attack is slim, it is better to stay in Luoyang and wait for the opportunity, in order to fight again!" ”
After hearing this, Li Wei stroked his beard and said: "Zhang Ji was killed before, Bishui Pass was lost, and the barrier in the east of Luoyang was regained by Guan Yu again, and now only I unilaterally meet the enemy in the west, and the chance of victory is really slim, not to mention that the losses in the previous fierce battle are not small, and it may not be good for me to fight again, so we are waiting for Guan Yu in Chang'an?" ”
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "At present, Guan Yu is too strong to compete with for a while, I heard that after the previous defeat of the Kwantung Army, the princes from all walks of life returned to the village and began to reorganize their people, we want to attack Luoyang without contacting these princes, forming a trend of east-west attack, causing pressure on Luoyang so that Guan Yu can not take care of each other, although Guan Yu's power is greatly trapped in the power of the princes of all walks of life, as long as the princes of all walks of life are connected, Guan Yu can be defeated!" It's not something we can do alone, and it's not something we can do with wishful thinking! ”
"As far as I know, Cao Mengde in the east only reorganized his men and horses after the battle of Tiger Pass, cleaned up the old department, gathered a lot of people and horses, and the power of Lu was all over Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Yuan Shao also merged with Han Fu in Hebei, and the power of the army is not small, and Yuan Shu occupied Huainan, and the power of the princes of the east swelled again, I think it won't take long for them to turn over and resume the war, and then we only need to wait for the opportunity to attack from the west, Luoyang is not dangerous!" Li Dao then analyzed.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "At present, there is only such a Taoguang and obscure ambition!" ”
The two had already decided not to send troops to attack Luoyang
But said that Cao Cao since the last defeat after the return to his hometown of Qianjun, once again gathered people, and by Yuan Shao's recommendation to sit in the position of the East County Taishou, his subordinates gathered a large number of troops again, at this time the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army again made trouble, everywhere for abuse, soon a large number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked to the ground of Yanzhou, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army launched a fierce battle, but unfortunately for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army defeated, Liu Dai saw that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was difficult to compete with it, so he turned to the adjacent East County Taishou Cao Cao, Cao Cao then led his elite soldiers to Yanzhou, and fought with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei in Yanzhou, to fight the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous and brave in battle, it also faced serious difficulties: in the battle with Gongsun Zhan, it lost all its baggage, and there was an extreme lack of logistical supplies. The base of the rebel army is Qingzhou, and at this time, Yuan Shao's general Zang Hong and Gongsun Zhan's general Tian Kai are fighting in Qingzhou, and the people have fled Qingzhou, so it is impossible for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army to return to Qingzhou to live and recuperate, and to produce in Tuntian. It was at this time that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army encountered a formidable opponent, Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
