The banquet was still held in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and achieved very good results, and this kind of emotional contact through guò can make the relationship between Hua'an and his henchmen closer, which is conducive to the consolidation of Hua'an's position.

In the following days, Hua An would take time to go to the city from time to time to learn about the various situations in the city, and of course, it was indispensable to go to the Western Regions wine shop to have a private meeting with rouge.

Because there are a large number of soldiers and horses patrolling the city, therefore, in the New Year's Day, the security in Luoyang City is still very good, and there is no robbery and theft and other things that damage the people, of course, this is also because of Hua'an's good policy, while strengthening the patrol of soldiers and horses in the city, the most basic assistance to the poor people in the city, so, these poor people who eat and drink without worrying about it, naturally they are not willing to take risks and do things that violate the law and discipline, besides, the punishment is strengthened, On the other hand, it also raises the cost of some lawbreakers breaking the law and discipline, so that they dare not do illegal things.

From Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, for more than half a month, there was not a single violation of law and discipline in the huge Luoyang City, which has to be said to be a miracle, of course, it also shows that Hua'an's plan for the city that never sleeps has been completely successful, and Luoyang City has become more prosperous while not causing chaos in public security.

After the Lantern Festival, the life of Luoyang City began to get on track, and the major construction sites also began to work intensively, at the same time, the soldiers and horses in Hebei, Guanzhong and Shuzhong began to assemble in the direction of Luoyang City according to the order, among which the soldiers and horses of Hebei have arrived in Yecheng, and the soldiers and horses in the pass are also approaching Tongguan, and the soldiers and horses in Shu are farther, and they are still marching on the meridian road, but. It won't be long before they arrive at the periphery of Luoyang City and obey Hua'an's command.

At this time, the renovation work of the Imperial Palace can be completed in two months at most, and the large-scale construction of the castle can be completed in only half a year. Therefore, at this time, Hua'an has already begun to think about letting the imperial court move the capital, after all, if the imperial court moves the capital to Luoyang City as soon as possible, Hua'an can control the imperial court one day earlier, so that the whole world can operate according to his own will, so as to realize his political ambitions.

Since the renovation of the palace will take two months to complete, for this. Hua'an needed to wait until two months later before he could formally submit a request to the imperial court to move the capital, and at this time, what Hua'an had to do was to buy the people of the imperial court as much as possible to support and take refuge in him.

Among them, the development of his original old troops in Jiangnan is still very good, if he pulls them all under his command, half of the soldiers and horses of the Yangzhou Army will be controlled by himself. In this way, it will become more smooth for the imperial court to move the capital.

Huaan first targeted the military. After all, most of his old troops were in the army, and besides, the army was the decisive force, and only by mastering the army first could he control the situation in the south of the Yangtze River.

And now among the senior generals of the Yangzhou Legion. Many of them are the old troops of Hua'an, among them, the main soldiers and horses guarding Xuzhou are Wang Wu and Wang VI Corps, and the deputy general of the water army near Jiankang City. It is also Hua'an's childhood playmate Wang Biantou, as for the main general of the water army, Hua'an is also very familiar, that is, Han Yong, the owner of the Qilin Battalion who once followed Hua'an to Liaodong by sea, after successfully completing the task of North Wang Liaodong, Hua'an was promoted for merit, and Han Yong was naturally promoted, and over the years, he was constantly promoted, and finally became the chief general of the water army of the Yangzhou Legion, with 100,000 elite sailors under his command, and Wang Biantou also became Han Yong's deputy general because of his outstanding ability.

The Yangzhou Legion is dominated by the water army, and the soldiers and horses of the water army account for the majority of the strength of the Yangzhou Legion, for this reason, the water army under the command of Han Yong is the absolute main force of the Yangzhou Legion, and the Wang Fifth Army and the Wang Sixth Army stationed in Xuzhou each have 20,000 elite soldiers, which is also a force to be reckoned with. It is very likely that they will choose to be loyal to Hua'an.

Regarding the matter of Wang Wu, Wang Liu, Wang Biantou and Han Yong, Hua'an has been thinking about it for a long time, and in order to better recruit the four people, Hua'an and Wang San and other confidants had a very detailed discussion, and finally decided to come step by step, first recruit Wang Wu and Wang Liu, control the situation in Xuzhou, and then recruit Wang Biantou, and after Wang Biantou agreed to stand on Hua'an's side, let Wang Biantou find a way to test Han Yong, and knock on the side, implying that the court is already weak, and only by standing on Hua'an's side can there be a better future. So that Han Yong chose to stand on Hua'an's side.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, Huaan and his henchmen went through very detailed deliberations and made up their minds only when they were very sure.

In order to allow Wang Wu and Wang Liu to choose to stand on Hua'an's side, Hua'an decided to let Wang San go to Xuzhou in person, and meet Wang Wu and Wang Liu in the name of reminiscing, first test Wang Wu and Wang Liu's attitude, and then explain their intentions, so that Wang Wu and Wang Liu can stand on Hua'an's side and support Hua'an in many major matters.

After making some preparations, Wang San led a hundred soldiers to leave Luoyang City and ran to Xuzhou as fast as possible.

After Wang San left, Hua An looked at Wang Meng beside him and said softly: "General Wang thinks that this king's former brother will receive this king's love?" ”

When Wang Meng heard this, he replied softly: "The king can rest assured, no matter whether these generals are the king's old subordinates, with the current shape of the world, it is the most beneficial to the king, and several generals will definitely choose to be loyal to the king for their own future, which is almost certain." ”

Obviously, Wang Meng is very convinced that Wang Wu, Wang Liu, Wang Biantou and Han Yong will eventually take refuge in Hua'an, after all, the imperial court at this time is already in name only, Hua'an has millions of soldiers, and it is the most powerful force in the world, and only by taking refuge in Hua'an will there be a future.

Hua An nodded: "I hope so!" Hope a qiē are shun lì. After speaking, he continued to discuss with Wang Meng how to buy the officials within the court, after all, in addition to the military, the ministers above the court are also very important forces, if many officials above the court can be bought, it will be extremely beneficial to Hua'an.

And the officials in the court must be selective, those ministers who are proudly reused. Naturally, they are more loyal, and it is not easy to buy them, and those ministers who are excluded everywhere above the court and have resentment are easier to buy, and Hua An and all the henchmen under his command feel that they should buy these disgruntled court officials.

Subsequently. Hua'an sent a group of henchmen to rush to the direction of Jiankang City as fast as possible, to make secret visits to Guò, and to contact the hidden Jiankang City to determine the officials who could be bribed, so as to start the next step of the bribery operation, so that when Hua'an made a request to move the capital, they could issue a call for agreeing to move the capital.

Huaan's plan is always carried out in an orderly manner. After these people were sent out, Hua An began to study how to deal with the problem of how to deal with the imperial court once the imperial court moved the capital to Luoyang City, after all, the purpose of Hua An to let the imperial court move the capital was to control the imperial court and let the imperial court act according to its own will. If the imperial court is allowed to successfully counteract and gradually control itself, it will not be what Hua'an wants. To this end, Hua'an must do everything possible to prepare for this to prevent this from happening, especially inside and outside the palace, and must deploy a large number of his own eyes and ears, and. Once the imperial court moves the capital, the guards of the palace and Luoyang City must be their own henchmen, that is, after the imperial court moves the capital. The original guards must continue to stay in Jiankang City, and the defense of the imperial court will be all under the command of Hua'an's soldiers and horses, only in this way can Hua'an control the entire imperial court and let the imperial court operate according to his own will.

A few days later, 100,000 elite soldiers and horses from Hebei, led by the famous generals Zhang Hao and Deng Qiang, arrived at the periphery of Luoyang City and stationed there.

With the reinforcement of this elite army of soldiers and horses, Hua'an's confidence in asking the imperial court to move the capital became more sufficient, and in order to put pressure on the direction of the imperial court, Hua'an immediately issued an order for Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao to lead 100,000 elite troops to Chenliu County in Yanzhou to station.

In the direction of Pengcheng, because the cities where Wang Wu and Wang Liu were stationed were relatively close to each other, and there was no threat of enemy troops in the north, the two of them seemed very leisurely, and from time to time they got together to hunt in the mountains near the defense area, and then brought the hunted game back to the city, and had a good meal in the city.

At this time, Wang Wu and Wang Liu leisurely hunted in the mountains, and hunted a lot of game, among them, there are rabbits, wild dogs, wild wolves, and all kinds of birds, which can be said to have a lot of harvest.

"Fifth brother, today's harvest is really good! When you go back, you can have a good drink. Wang Liu looked at Wang Wu and said excitedly.

Wang Wu smiled and said, "Yes! Today's harvest is quite rich, so don't rush back my brother, and drink with my brother for three days and three nights, okay? ”

Wang Liu smiled slightly, and said, "As long as my brother is willing, why not, my brother will accompany my brother to drink for three days and three nights." After speaking, he stepped on his war horse and prepared to return to Pengcheng.

Obviously, at this time, there was no threat of foreign enemies in the north, and the nearby bandits and bandits were also weak, and they could not pose a threat to the soldiers and horses under Wang Liu's command at all.

Seeing that Wang Liu agreed to stay, Wang Wu was very happy, and said loudly: "Brother, let's go back to the city and have a good drink." After speaking, he also stepped on the war horse.

......Just as Wang Wu and Wang Liu had just stepped onto their horses, a cavalryman rushed over, looking very anxious.

"What's the matter?" Seeing this, Wang Wu asked softly.

"General Qiyu, there is a person who claims to be the general's old man and has come to visit the general." The soldier said truthfully.

"The deceased? What it looks like. Wang Wu hurriedly asked.

The soldier replied, "The man who came was tall and very powerful, and he brought with him a hundred retinues, all of whom looked as if they had crawled out of a pile of dead men. ”

"Fifth brother, this person has brought a hundred fierce followers, and his origin is not small! Let's go back and have a look! Wang Liu said loudly.

Wang Wu nodded hurriedly and said loudly, "Let's go, let's go back and have a look." After speaking, together with Wang Liu, he led a team of men and horses to run in the direction of Pengcheng.

At this time, Wang Wu and Wang Liu actually had some premonitions in their hearts, at this time, there were only a handful of old people who could lead a hundred strong retinues to visit them, but before seeing the visitor, they still couldn't be sure which old man was visiting.

Soon, Wang Wu and Wang Liu rode back to Pengcheng, and arrived at the General's Mansion, looking at the hundred entourages standing outside the gate of the mansion, Wang Wu and Wang Liu suddenly had a spectrum in their hearts, from the appearance of the more than 100 entourage, it can be seen that they are all from all over the world, among them, Guanzhong and Shuzhong have the most people, and Hua'an started from Shuzhong, and laid a solid foundation in Guanzhong, so as to set the Central Plains in the north, so it is obvious that this old man is related to Hua'an, even if it is not Hua'an himself, but also his confidants.

"General, the visitor has entered the mansion and has been arranged to wait in the guest room." The guard at the door said.

Obviously, the popularity of the visitor is extraordinary, and he is a big man at first glance, so when Wang Wu went out and did not return, the subordinates of the mansion did not dare to let the person wait outside the gate, but let him enter the mansion and arrange it in the guest room.

Wang Wu nodded, walked towards the mansion with Wang Liu, and strode towards the location of the guest room.

"Your general went out of the city to hunt, why hasn't he come back for so long." As soon as Wang Wu and Wang Liu entered the mansion, they heard the sound of reprimands coming from the guest room.

"Wait, guest, our general will be back soon." The subordinates of the mansion hurriedly responded.

When Wang Wu and Wang Liu heard this, they glanced at each other, then looked at each other and smiled, and from the voice of the guest, they could already tell that the person who came was their third brother.

"Third brother, is that you?" Wang Wu shouted and strode into the guest room, and Wang Liu also walked in.

The guest in the house was naturally Wang San, and when he saw Wang Wu return to the mansion, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh, it's really the third brother! I haven't seen you for many years, is the third brother still the same? Wang Wu saw Wang San and said excitedly.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you for many years!" Wang Liu also responded.

Wang San saw that Wang Wu was returning, and Wang Liu was also there, he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, sixth brother, you are all here, it's really good, I ran away from the brother of this province, hahaha!" He laughed. (To be continued......)
