Chapter 402: Moving the Capital (3)

The renovation of Luoyang, the eastern capital, has been largely completed. 、. 、

In particular, as the main project of the relocation of the capital, the imperial city has been completely restored to its old appearance.

According to the drawings sent by Mi Zhu, the imperial city was basically repaired according to the appearance of the past, and it was almost not much different from the Luoyang Imperial City in the early peace period. In fact, four years since Jian'an, the imperial city has already begun to be repaired. At that time, Cao Cao gradually stabilized the situation, and the Heluo area gradually stabilized, and Guanzhong was gradually recovering.

In contrast, although Xudu has the convenience of population and food, it is too close to the front line.

Liu Biao could threaten Wancheng and then Yingchuan by sending troops, causing the entire Xu capital to fall into turmoil. Although Xu Du is good, it is not suitable to live for a long time. At that time, Cao Cao had the idea of moving the capital, so he began to repair the imperial city of Luoyang.

After several years, Luoyang has finally been restored to its original appearance.

However, after Liu Chuang occupied Luoyang, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he ordered the expansion of Luoyang again.

The new Luoyang City will be tripled in size on the basis of the original old Luoyang...... The entire project took five years. According to Liu Chuang's idea, after the completion of the expansion of Luoyang, it will be able to accommodate more than one million people.

This is a face-saving project, and at the same time, it is also a project related to the luck of the Han family.

If the construction of the new Luoyang City is completed, it will further stabilize Liu Chuang's status and prestige, and many affairs can be carried out logically. According to Liu Chuang's thoughts, five years later, the country will be stable.

There may still be war, but the principle of neutrality will be completely stable.

Now, the completion of the construction of the imperial city also means the relocation of the capital. Demand immediate action.

After repeated court discussions. Final decision. In November, the capital will be moved to Luoyang. However, before moving the capital, there was one more thing, that is, the matter of the Han Emperor's personal conquest. Liu Chuang was already a little impatient with Emperor Han's ignorance! If this guy continues to stay in the Central Plains, it will inevitably hinder Liu Chuang, which is definitely not what Liu Chuang wants.

Therefore, it is even more urgent to drive this obstructive guy out of the Central Plains.

Thereupon. The reports sent from the border pass became more and more frequent, and under the secret instruction of Liu Chuang, the voices of the people calling on the Han Emperor to drive the expedition in person became louder and louder......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Emperor Han didn't resist too much this time.

However, he made a good excuse, saying that he was not feeling well, so he was going to postpone the expedition for a few days.

Liu Chuang did not persecute the Han Emperor anymore, after all, he was the Son of Heaven, and Liu Chuang always had to save some face for him. After determining the matter of the Han Emperor's personal conquest, another matter began to be discussed at the court meeting. That was the day the capital was officially moved. On the tenth day of November, Liu Chuang will officially move the capital back to Luoyang. And Xu Du will exist as a companion from now on......

After all, after ten years, the scale of Xu Du is not small.

With a population of nearly 400,000, it is also destined that Xu Du will no longer be able to exist as a small county as before. In this case, Xu Du's status must be promoted. After repeated discussions, Liu Chuang finally decided to set Xu Du as the central capital and set up the central capital order, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, which is almost equivalent to the status of a county Taishou.

After the matter of moving the capital was decided, Shang Shu ordered Sima Fang to come out again and handed over the note.

The content of the song is very simple, saying that since the Han Dynasty, the power has fallen, and the Son of Heaven lacks a courtier who can be of great use. Now, Liu Chuang is in the Han Dynasty, but he is not allowed to be crowned king, so he dares to plead and plead to reset the prime minister and Liu Chuang will take over.

As soon as this performance was spoken, Liu Xie's face suddenly turned pale.

He finally understood why so many people had asked for Liu Chuang's title of king before, and it turned out that Liu Chuang's real purpose was this.

Liu Xie had the heart to refuse, but the civil and military officials did not give him an excuse to refuse, and at the same time stepped forward to ask for orders, and Liu Chuang took over as prime minister. At this point, Emperor Han finally understood! Liu Chuang's step-by-step design is very ingenious, from beginning to end, he is running for the position of prime minister. drove him out of the Central Plains, and then moved the capital to Luoyang, Liu Chuang, as the prime minister, took charge of the court and commanded hundreds of civil and military officials, which became logical. If it goes on like this, it won't take too long, and no one in the court will remember that there is still a son of heaven under this sky. At that time, Liu Chuang could take advantage of the situation and take over the throne. And Liu Xie is in Yanjing, so he can't make a sound at all, how can he stop it?

Looking at Liu Chuang's gaze, it was like breathing fire!

Liu Xie's heart was full of murderous intent, and he forced a smile and said: "Speaking of which, in terms of the merits of the imperial uncle, it is not too much to be the prime minister, but his age is ...... I'm afraid it's hard to convince the world. ”

Liu Chuang's exploits are fought with a knife and a gun, and no matter how dissatisfied Liu Xie is with him, he can't erase his exploits.

Moreover, all the civil and military officials are Liu Chuang's people, and they recommend Liu Chuang in unison. If the Han Emperor forcibly opposed, it would cause another wave of turmoil. After thinking about it repeatedly, Emperor Han finally decided to use Liu Chuang's age to talk about things. After all, Liu Chuang is not yet thirty years old, and he is the prime minister of a country, under one person, above ten thousand, after all, it is a little unreasonable.

How do you know that Emperor Han's voice has not fallen, and a person has walked out of the court.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad statement.

Since ancient times, the master is the first, and the sage is no matter how big or small. In ancient times, Ganluo worshiped the prime minister at the age of eight, and now the emperor's uncle is close to the age of establishment, and he has made outstanding contributions, why can't he be the prime minister? In the whole world, who can compare the merits of the imperial uncle? If the imperial uncle is not the prime minister, who will be the prime minister? If you are not allowed to worship the emperor's uncle as the prime minister, you are afraid that you will be taken by the villain, and your majesty is jealous of the emperor's uncle and refuses to appoint virtuous people. If this spreads, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to my Han family. ”

These words were almost threatening Emperor Han.

Liu Xie looked up, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But he was helpless against the one who spoke. Because the person who spoke was also a member of the Han family, it was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang.

Liu Ye went to northern Xinjiang that year and successively served as the governor of Daxianbei Mountain.

Over the years, he has made outstanding achievements in governing the Great Xianbei Mountain, and has continued to encroach on the country of Fuyu, so that the lord of the country of Fuyu Jian does not dare to act rashly, and can only bow down to the courtiers. This time, Liu Ye came with Liu Chuang's family to assist in the relocation of the capital.

Now, Liu Ye worships the post of Shaofu and leads the post of Yanzhou Assassin History.

This is a hardcore Liu Chuang. I heard that Liu Chuang has prepared. After the relocation of the capital. Ordered Liu Ye to take the post of Zongzheng.

This Zongzheng is the Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty.

If Liu Ye received Zongzheng, then the entire Han clan would nominally control Liu Chuang.

Emperor Han forced a laugh, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Ye had already preemptively said again: "Today, Your Majesty has appointed the emperor's uncle as the prime minister, which is also expected by everyone, and it is also an unprecedented auspicious fortune in my Han family." The emperor's uncle worshiped as the prime minister in the year of his establishment. Doesn't it prove that God bless my Han family? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, except for the emperor's uncle, no one can be qualified as prime minister."

The ministers spoke again, which also made Liu Xie have no excuse to obstruct it.

No way, he didn't receive any notice beforehand. If he can get a little bit of news, he will not be at a loss in the face of the persecution of the ministers. Liu Xie took a deep breath and glanced at Liu Chuang. saw Liu Chuang smiling at him with a slight expression on his face. But it seemed extremely calm. This also made Liu Xie's heart even more annoyed, but he didn't know what to do.

Long. Liu Xieqiang pressed the anger in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Since Zhongqing thinks that Uncle Huang is the most suitable, he will follow Zhongqing's performance." However, this matter still needs to be treated with caution, please ask Sima Shangshu to report it to the court, and I can choose a day to pay respects. ”

In this situation, if Liu Xie does not agree to Liu Chuang's visit to the prime minister, I am afraid that it will be difficult to end the court meeting.

I had to delay for a while...... Anyway, he won't live long, and whether he can last until the time when he can go on stage to pay respects is still being said.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The relocation of the capital and the worship of the prime minister have become irreversible.

After Liu Chuang achieved these two goals, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the identity of the imperial uncle gave him an unparalleled pre-requisite advantage, and at the same time gave him many shackles.

It was not an easy task for him to replace the Han Emperor.

On the surface, at least, he had to be thorough enough to leave people speechless.

The current situation is not mature enough. Even if the Han Emperor has reached the point where the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing him, he is still the Son of Heaven. If he can't weaken his influence to the extreme, Liu Chuang wants to replace him, and if he doesn't get it right, it will cause another turmoil. In Liu Chuang's heart, it had already been planned. In a short period of time, he will never take that most crucial step lightly.

The next day, Liu Chuang led Fei Xiongwei to leave Xudu and went to Zhanghuatai to inspect the Yafeng cavalry camp.

Today's Yafeng Cavalry has become one of the two trump cards in Liu Chuang's hands and on a par with the Tiger Ben Army. Under Liu Chuang, there are a total of five ace soldiers. Gao Shun's trapped camp, Xiahou Lan's Wudang cavalry, and the tiger and leopard cavalry that was absorbed from Cao Cao's hands. Among them, Yafeng cavalry and tiger Ben army followed Liu Chuang's left and right, while Wudang cavalry was stationed in Guanzhong, the tiger and leopard cavalry were stationed in Runan, and Gao Shun's trapped camp was stationed in Heluo, waiting for Liu Chuang's dispatch at any time, not under the command of others.

Among them, the commander of the tiger and leopard ride, Liu Chuang has already been selected, that is, Cao Zhang and Cao Ziwen.

This is well known to almost everyone. However, because Cao Zhang was still in the period of filial piety, the tiger and leopard cavalry was temporarily led by Xiahou Shang. This was also an appointment to appease the old Cao family. At least for now, the old Cao clan is not dissatisfied.

The main general of Yafeng's cavalry is Zhao Yun.

After Liu Chuang inspected the Yafeng cavalry camp, he left Zhanghuatai accompanied by Zhao Yun and went to Zhanghua Temple, which is not far from Zhanghuatai, to offer incense. Since the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Buddhism has gradually been introduced to the Central Plains and has taken root in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. Zhanghua Temple is an annex of the White Horse Temple, which has gone through the flames of war, but the incense is still vigorous. In Zhanghua Temple, you can overlook the outline of Xudu City and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yingshui. Liu Chuang also stole half a day of leisure, and it had already been arranged.

At about noon, when the army was preparing lunch, a loud noise was suddenly heard from the direction of Zhanghua Temple.

Even if it is more than ten miles away, the Zhanghuatai camp can clearly feel the trembling of the ground.

Raising his eyes, he saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Zhanghua Temple......

Oh no, something happened!

Just when everyone felt that something was wrong, Li Ying, the deputy general of Yafeng Cavalry, suddenly led his troops to mutiny and stormed the Chinese army camp.

Zhao Yun went to Zhanghua Temple with Liu Chuang, and there was no one in the army to preside over the overall situation.

Li Ying's subordinates wrapped their heads in white scarves and launched an attack on the Chinese army camp with weapons in hand. Ya Feng didn't expect that his own soldiers and horses would suddenly mutiny, so that he didn't have any preparation, and in the blink of an eye, he was in chaos. Li Ying straddled the horse, held the sword in his hand and shouted: "Today, I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to kill the adulterer, Liu Chuang is dead, and you still don't listen to the dispatch?" ”

"Kill the adulterous. Welcome to the Son of Heaven! ”

The rebels shouted in unison. Places to go along the way. Yafeng rode away in all directions.

Just when he was about to give the order to attack the Chinese army's Dazhai, he suddenly heard three horns and cannons from inside the gate, followed by the rumbling of war drums, and a team of soldiers came out of the camp.

At the same time, the cavalry sergeants of the Arrowheads, who had previously scattered and routed, came from all directions.

But it's not the same as the previous rout. One by one, these sergeants lined up neatly and methodically killed from all sides, surrounding the rebels.

Li Ying couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Just when he felt dazed and at a loss, a group of cavalry slowly came out of the middle army's gate.

Immediately, a general was holding a sword in his hand, with a mocking smile on his face.

I saw that his crotch was like a dragon horse, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing Tang Qi treasure armor, and a lion jade belt around his waist. Majestic and murderous.

"Ignorant thief. Do you really think that a certain family does not know how to wait for treacherous schemes? ”

The person who came immediately shouted: "I am Liu Chuang, the uncle of the Han Emperor, if you don't give up your arms and surrender, when will you wait?" ”

Li Ying, the word Boying, Yingchuan people, Li Guifei's eldest brother.

After Liu Chuang entered Xudu, Li Ying's father, Li Xun, asked someone to make Li Ying join Yafeng Cavalry. However, due to the nature of Yafeng's cavalry being different from other soldiers and horses, after Li Ying joined Yafengcai, he only served as a tooth keeper on the periphery. There is no way, the Yafeng cavalry is strictly disciplined, and ordinary people who want to join must go through some rigorous training.

Li Ying's troops and horses are actually like the reserve of the Yafeng Cavalry, in addition to normal drills on weekdays, they are more often responsible for the vigilance and patrol tasks of the Yafeng Cavalry. In other words, Li Ying's soldiers and horses were recruits he recruited from the local area, and they were far inferior to the regular soldiers of Yafeng in terms of combat effectiveness and suzhì.

The reason why Li Xun let Li Ying mix into Yafeng Riding was also out of cultivating his own team.

In his opinion, as long as Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun died, Li Ying could quickly control Yafeng's cavalry...... As long as Li Ying controlled the Yafeng cavalry, he immediately entered the city of Xu Capital and controlled the situation in the city of Xu Capital. And Liu Chuang's other sloppy army was stationed in Changshe. Even if he got the news and rushed to Xudu, Li Xun could control the situation.

In this regard, Li Ying is also extremely attentive.

After joining Yafeng's cavalry, he distributed a lot of money and food to win over the generals in the army.

However, the effect is not particularly noticeable. Most of the generals in the army he befriended were peripheral generals like him. The core general of the Yafeng Cavalry, Mo said that he couldn't make friends, even if he came over, those people ignored him.

This is the pride of an army of aces!

Ya Feng cavalry can be described as a proud general, following Zhao Yun's expedition across the river, galloping in the pass, sweeping Heluo......

With such a victorious army, how can Li Yingzhi and his ilk be able to win over? But Li Ying didn't care, in his opinion, as long as Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun died, after he led his troops to attack, the generals of the rest of the departments would definitely come to respond.

By that time......

But who would have thought that things would not go the way he imagined.

Liu Chuang didn't die, and he was in the Yafeng Cavalry Battalion. Li Ying saw that there were more and more soldiers and horses around him, and among them, there were some fox friends who had made friends with him before, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Liu Chuang frowned slightly, and said with a cold smile: "Don't you want to wait for reinforcements?" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said, "Li Boying, I might as well tell you the truth...... Everything you do is under my control. Do you think that if you find a batch of heavenly thunder fire, you can rebel? I sue you, your 800 dead soldiers who were ambushed outside Zhanghua Temple, and now I am afraid that they have been surrounded by my tiger army...... And your small family has become a prisoner at this moment. If he is wise, he will immediately abandon his weapon and surrender. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Li Ying saw this situation, so he didn't know that he had fallen for Liu Chuang's plan......

People are clearly prepared for this, just waiting for them to fall into the net.

Surrender?

Li Ying knew what kind of person Liu Chuang was...... That is definitely a guy who kills people without blinking, if it falls into his hands today, even if he is Li Guifei's brother, Liu Chuang will not be merciful to him. Thinking of this, Li Ying suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted: "Sons, don't listen to this traitor's nonsense, and follow me out of the encirclement......"

As he spoke, he turned his horse's head and rushed out.

He also knew that it was impossible to attack the Chinese army at this time.

The Chinese army is full of elite cavalry, and Liu Chuang is in charge himself. Liu Chuangfei's name was not shouted out of thin air. Although he had never fought with Liu Chuang, Li Ying knew very well in his heart that he could not be an opponent. Only to rush outward...... Attacking the positions of those peripheral arrows, there is no chance that there will be a glimmer of life.

Seeing Li Ying leading his troops to break through, the smile on Liu Chuang's face was even worse.

He raised his sword and swung it in the air, only to hear the rumbling of the war drums and the sudden change in the beat. Two teams of iron horsemen came out from both sides, led by Jiang Jian and Tai Shixiang, two generals.

I don't just have a Arrow Rider in my hand, my Flying Bear Guard, not a weak Arrow Rider!

Liu Chuang suddenly turned his head and said to a young man behind him: "Deng Ai, if you are replaced in such a situation, how should you choose?" ”

The young man behind Liu Chuang was Deng Ai.

However, Deng Ai was still young at this time, and when he was nervous, he even stuttered a little.

He snorted: "If Ai leads the army, he will attack the teacher, so there is no chance of life." Before the battle, the army was cowardly, and the army's mind was chaotic. He is a rabble, how easy is it to break through? ”

Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Deng Ai, but did not make an evaluation.

This kid is a tough man...... But when it comes to it, he didn't have to try an idea.

Well, it looks like this kid is going to be a good student.

However, Liu Chuang does not plan to teach in person! His own level, his own know...... For the cultivation of the second generation, Liu Chuang already has a plan. Like Deng Ai, a famous general in later generations, he thinks it is better to hand it over to Xun Yu and Xun Yu for training! (To be continued......)
