Chapter 195: Visionary

The voices against Wang Yun in Chang'an City became louder and louder, and the civil and military officials unanimously agreed with Liu He's truce opinion, and even Lu Bu and Ma Riyan and others openly argued with Wang Yun, and Wang Yun's most trusted subordinate Huangfu Song was mixed up with Zhao Yun, which made Wang Yun completely feel like he was in a hurry.

Wang Yun was able to control the court situation, because of the support of the civil and military officials in Chang'an City, in fact, he did not have many soldiers and horses, and now Lu Bu and Ma Riyan and others no longer support him, and Liu He made a big public opinion outside the city, so Wang Yun's life was very difficult.

Lu Bu had strongly persuaded Wang Yun to treat the generals left behind by Dong Zhuo well, not to "go on the line" indefinitely, and to force the rebellion of more than 100,000 Xiliang troops, but Wang Yun did not listen to the advice at all, and insisted on executing Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and others, and made it known to the whole world and did not leave any way for himself to retreat.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu's judgment is right, these subordinates left by Dong Zhuo are really not fuel-efficient lamps, they are more ruthless than the other, and this time they almost killed Wang Yun.

Ma Riyan also tried to persuade Wang Yun not to attack the good old man Cai Yong, thinking that Cai Yong, a bachelor who was forced to Chang'an by Dong Zhuowei, actually did not do anything bad at all and should not be treated unfairly, but Wang Yun also did not listen to the persuasion and insisted on forcing Cai Yong to death, which made many scholars in Chang'an City have great opinions about him.

Although Comrade Lao Ma is good-tempered, since he can mix under Dong Zhuo, it means that he also has extraordinary skills, and Wang Yun can shake his face as much as he wants. No, once Ma Riyan found out that Liu He and Lu Bu had opinions on Wang Yun, he immediately straightened his waist.

The most beautiful thing in Chang'an City today may be the Cai family. Originally, the slaves and subordinates who escaped returned to Cai's mansion, and the Hedong Wei family, who originally wanted to come to the door to make trouble, didn't even dare to put another fart. Many people in Chang'an City wanted to befriend Liu He, but they couldn't see Liu He's face at all, so they turned to the second. all came to show goodwill to Liu He's prospective father-in-law and launched various favors offensives.

Although Liu He has never shown up, but his wolf-like subordinates have helped him build momentum and propaganda everywhere, if it weren't for the great prince who took great risks to lead the army to rescue alone, Chang'an City is afraid that it will be bloodied and pestle, and the corpses will be full of bones. In fact, Liu and his subordinates did not exaggerate at all, and after Li Dao and Guo Yan broke through Chang'an, they killed more than half of the city's population and executed all the oppositionists.

There are many people in Chang'an City who now read Liu He's good. is even more convinced of Liu He's subsequent promotion, so everyone is willing to have some friendship and relationship with Cai Yong in advance. With Liu He's royal status as a gilded side, coupled with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him, and a Taifu father who is guarding in Youzhou, the future development momentum is absolutely unlimited.

On the third day of Li Dao and Guo Yan's siege again, Wang Yun finally relented and agreed to Liu He's armistice conditions for Li Dao and Guo Yan, let Ma Riyan go out of the city in person, and read out the court's amnesty decree in public. There are also orders for the placement of the various units of the Xiliang Army.

Up to now, even if Wang Yun wanted to defend to the end, the generals under Lu Bu and the state system refused to agree, because Liu He's arrival gave them hope for a peaceful resolution of the Chang'an crisis. Historically, when Li Dao and Guo Yan besieged Chang'an. But no guy named Liu He dared to lead an army of 20,000 to the rescue......

The imperial court sent the great Honglu Zhou Huan to serve as the messenger of the decree, holding the holy decree and the seal letter and other things, and went out of the city to meet Li Dao and Guo Yan and others. Li Guo learned that the imperial court had come to proclaim the edict. hurriedly set up the incense case and greeted Zhou Huan respectfully with the etiquette of a courtier.

The imperial court appointed Li Dao as the general of Zhenbei and the Marquis of Fuping. is like Shangqing, guarding the border and crusading against the four yi. Li Dao can lead 50,000 troops, and he will be stationed in Zuo Fengyi in the future, and he cannot lead the army close to Chang'an without the orders of the imperial court.

The imperial court appointed Guo Yan as the general of Zhenxi, the Marquis of Zhaowu, the position of Shangqing, guarding the border passes, and crusading against the four yi. Guo Yan can lead 50,000 troops under his command, and he will be stationed in Youfufeng in the future, and he will not be ordered by the imperial court to lead the army close to Chang'an.

The imperial court appointed Zhang Ji as the general of Anbei, the Marquis of Pingyang, one level below the general of the four towns, who could lead 30,000 troops, and would be stationed in Beidi County in the future; Fan Chou was appointed as the general of Anxi, the marquis of ten thousand years, who could lead 30,000 troops, and stationed in Hanyang County in the future; Wang Fang was appointed as the general of Pingxi, who could lead 20,000 troops, and stationed in Anding County in the future.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others not only received amnesty from the imperial court, but also promoted to the rank of marquis, and immediately smiled, no longer besieged Chang'an, and immediately led their soldiers and horses to the garrison to take office, and the danger of Chang'an was solved.

Duan Xuan, who has not moved since Li Dao and Guo Yanbing besieged Chang'an, became the object of Wang Yun's wooing, and he sent Zhou Huan to give Duan Xuan a decree, sealing Duan Xuan as the general of Zhendong and the Marquis of Yanxiang, and letting Duan Xuan station the soldiers and horses in Jingzhaoyin to protect the peace of Chang'an in the future.

Duan Xuan, this guy, didn't spend a single soldier, and got the same treatment as Li Dao and Guo Yan, which is a typical wall-to-wall view, and the fisherman profits.

Because Liu He annoyed Wang Yun this time, Wang Yun deliberately ignored Liu He and did not promote Liu He's position, nor did he announce that Liu He would enter Chang'an to meet the emperor, wanting Liu He to have a closed door.

Liu He didn't care about Wang Yun's reaction, he took out the secret edict that the emperor had given him last year, and then asked the generals under Lü Bu, who was defending the city, to open the city gate and let his troops enter the city to escort them.

Lu Bu was very vigilant about Liu He's arrival, and of course he refused to let Liu He's army enter the city to compete for power and profit with himself, so he strictly ordered his generals to guard the city gate and resolutely refused to let Liu He's troops enter the city.

Liu He didn't plan to sneak into Chang'an City to make peace with Wang Yun and Lu Bu, so he immediately sent someone to contact Ma Riyan and asked Ma Riyan to send someone to send Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter family and Cai's house collection of books out of the city.

Ma Riyan then made the decision directly, and asked people to send dozens of people and dozens of cars of books from Cai's mansion together, and also gave Liu He a dowry.

After Wang Yun and Lu Bu learned about this, they did not stop it, and they did not dare to really offend Liu He to death now.

When Cai's family left Chang'an, many big families in the city also packed up their salutes and followed Cai Yong out of the city together. They heard that Luoyang was now under Zhu Jun's administration, so they planned to return to Luoyang with Liu He to live, not wanting to stay in Chang'an and be threatened by the warlords Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Now that the war is over, these big families that were plundered by Dong Zhuo from Luoyang want to return to the east, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu can't force them to stay. So he had no choice but to let them go, and watched them follow the Cai family out of the city together.

After Zhao Yun received the convoy of the Cai family, he immediately led more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to set off, and they took sixty percent of the wealth and materials in the dock, the bones of their brothers who died in battle, and the tens of thousands of people who were willing to return to Luoyang.

Huangfu Song eventually chose to stay in Chang'an to continue to support Wang Yun, and he handed over half of the remaining wealth and supplies to the empty treasury, and the other half was kept in his own army as military funds.

Liu He initially planned to take the little emperor to Luoyang, but he found that Wang Yun and Lü Bu were very wary of him. Simply dispelled this thankless thought, and after seeing the troops brought back by Zhao Yun and Xu Rong, he did not hesitate to lead all the soldiers and horses to Luoyang together, leaving an empty Tongguan behind.

Cai's father and daughter followed Zhao Yun to act together, and they finally met the eldest son of Liu who saved the Cai family in Tongguan.

Liu He led a large team of more than 30,000 people to Luoyang slowly, but he didn't have to worry about who dared to rob him halfway. Although Liu He lost more than 4,000 cavalry and more than 2,000 Shenxi Army infantry in the westward march to Chang'an this time, he reaped Xu Rong's sincere dedication. harvested 5,000 Xiliang infantry and more than 4,000 Luoyang forbidden troops, and also harvested sixty percent of the wealth and materials that Dong Zhuo had worked hard to accumulate.

In addition to these visible gains, Liu He's biggest harvest is the hearts of the people in the world. There is no doubt that Liu He is the number one contributor to resolving the Chang'an crisis this time. But he didn't take care of it, he didn't covet power, and he didn't coerce soldiers to force the court, and he put on a very high posture.

Reputedly. After Liu Xie, the little emperor in Changle Palace, heard that his uncle Liu He was rejected by Wang Yun and Lu Bu outside Chang'an City, he dropped a lot of things very rarely, and even asked Wang Yun and other ministers of the court what kind of thoughts they were thinking!

As a matter of fact. Liu He felt that the result of his visit to Chang'an this time was much better than what he had predicted when he left Youzhou, and it was simply the best result.

With the current situation of warlords in various parts of the Han Dynasty, the hollowed-out and decaying building of the central court really can't withstand any toss. Although Li Dao and Guo Yan were ambitious people, they were also capable people, and if they blindly tried to completely eliminate them and the Xiliang soldiers they led, it would not only be useless for the situation in Chang'an, but would actually only cause greater chaos and trouble.

The surrounding area of Chang'an is not peaceful, in the west of Chang'an in the Longyou area is the Longxi Qiang people who have been in trouble for a long time, in the northwest direction of Chang'an is the warlord Ma Teng and Han Sui force, in the north of Chang'an there are restless Southern Xiongnu and Hexi Qiang people, in the northeast of Chang'an are the ambitious Yuan Shao's subordinates, in the Hedong County close to Zuo Fengyi there are also the rebellious Baibo bandit army, in the southeast of Chang'an there is also Yuan Shu who is eyeing the tiger......

Now, the imperial court has appeased the generals who commanded the army such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and Duan Xuan, promoted them to official titles, and divided the garrisons, so that these people no longer have to worry about their lives, and in order to hold their territories in the future, they will form a solid barrier around Chang'an and guard the Guanzhong area well.

Historically, after Li Dao and Guo Yan took control of Chang'an, they maintained the stability of Guanzhong for four years, not only repelling the attacks of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also pacifying the rebellious Qiang people, which shows that these warlords are not useless at all.

In Liu He's view, the civil war between the Han people is the most stupid behavior, and if everyone has that strength, it is better to clean up the increasingly severe border troubles, and let the soldiers throw their blood on the border pass, which is better than dying in the endless internal strife.

Liu He feels that the highest level of playing politics is to check and balance, not to kill all opponents, because there will never be a shortage of opponents in this world. Only by mobilizing and making use of opponents can such people be regarded as real strategists and politicians, and can they be truly far-sighted.

For example, this time, if Liu He was bent on how to help Wang Yun get rid of Li Dao and Guo Yan, not only would his strength be greatly damaged, but even if God favored him to really get rid of Li Dao and Guo Yan, when he was only a little defeated in the army, how should he face Wang Yun and Lu Bu?

It is indeed very attractive to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but the premise is that he must have enough strength to ensure the safety of himself and the Son of Heaven, and with Liu He's difficult situation of lacking backup, it is obviously the wisest decision for him not to wade into this muddy water.

Wang Yun and Lu Bu continued to stay in Chang'an with the strange Son of Heaven, although they looked at the power, but could the orders they issued really get out of Guanzhong? (To be continued......)
