Chapter 1061: Slaughtering the World
Early the next morning, the five princes gathered together to discuss how to distribute the "inheritance" left by Dong Zhuo.
Yesterday, the coalition forces cleared the battlefield under mutual supervision. The remains, armor, and equipment of the officers and soldiers of each army naturally belong to each army itself, and the part belonging to Dong Zhuojun is whether it is high or low, from the divine weapons to the ordinary grain, all of which are concentrated together, and the princes of the Five Roads respectively send their henchmen and generals to supervise them, so as to eliminate the possibility of any party greedy for ink.
And the main task of the five today is to discuss how to distribute the spoils.
Don't look down on Dong Zhuo's legacy, as a super prince who dominates the world and sweeps the Gyeonggi region all over the world, Dong Zhuo's legacy is so rich that merchants are greedy for it.
Not to mention anything else, to give the simplest example, there are more than one million Xiliang troops, and the lowest in the whole army is Yinhui-level equipment, and the elite Xiliang Demon Cavalry is all Jinmang-level suits. More than 200,000 Flying Bear Army, all of them are in purple dazzling suits, and the 10,000 Flying Bear Guards who fought to the end are even more exaggerated to the point that each person has a set of spiritual weapon-level equipment.
The luxury of this equipment stimulates the local tyrants like Shang Ji a lot.
The merchant is rich, very rich, very, very rich! After the end of the National War, Shang Ji's personal wealth far exceeded Dong Zhuo's, and if all the money under his control was released at one time, it would be enough to cause very serious inflation in the Huaxia region!
However, money is not equal to financial strength, and no matter how much money is spent, Shang Ji will not be able to provide such a luxurious equipment configuration for the Pingzhou Army in a short period of time, because the productivity cannot be reached at all. It's just the same as the fact that no matter how much money you spend, you can't build a spaceship.
Dong Zhuo was able to equip the elite army under his command with luxurious and extravagant equipment, it was because he took the arsenal of the Eastern Han Dynasty royal family in one fell swoop, and the old Liu family's old capital accumulated for many years was eaten by him in one bite, otherwise with Dong Zhuo himself, it would be absolutely impossible to get so much luxury equipment.
And this is only part of Dong Zhuo's legacy, there are countless high-end equipment above the prefecture level, treasured unique classics, a large number of high-level strange objects and props, and so on.
And, of course, people!
Dong Zhuo's army of more than one million people naturally can't all swear to the death like the last Flying Bear Guard. On the contrary, because of Dong Zhuo's series of disappointing operations, the Xiliang army was in turmoil and had a low fighting spirit, and many troops chose to surrender under the impact of the coalition forces.
According to the information obtained by Shang Ji, there were more than 700,000 prisoners of war in the Xiliang Army who surrendered, accounting for almost half of the total number of Xiliang Army!
If the Xiliang army all fight to the death and do not retreat, Shang Ji and they may not be able to take Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo's military advantage is not small.
These more than 700,000 prisoners of war, everyone is staring at it. Although they were defeated and captured, no one dared to underestimate their combat effectiveness, and everyone was gearing up, ready to grab more prisoners of war to make up for the huge consumption of this battle.
When Shang Ji walked into the tent, the other four princes were already waiting there.
Seeing Shang Ji come in, the four of them took the initiative to get up to greet them, and Shang Ji also politely returned the courtesy, in short, the atmosphere was harmonious, and those who didn't know thought it was a gathering of good friends.
Waiting for Shang Ji to sit down, Cao Cao coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, Dong thief ambush and punishment, the world celebrates, the whole world celebrates, it is the luck of the country and the people, and it is also surging in my heart to be able to participate in the feat of punishing the thief." ”
Gurgling, dripping............ (2,000 words omitted)
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Bei got up again: "Dong thief has no way............ (Two thousand words omitted)"
……………………
After talking for half an hour, when Lu Bu was asleep, seeing that Shang Ji and Lu Bu were not speaking, Cao Cao coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Although Dong Thief has been conferred the head, the world has been in chaos for a long time, and there are thousands of problems, please discuss it with you!" ”
As Cao Cao's words fell, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became tense, listening to Cao Cao's meaning, it seems that today is not only discussing the distribution of Dong Zhuo's estate, but also the general trend of the world.
Even the most sluggish Lu Bu realized the seriousness of the problem, and his pajamas were completely gone, and he subconsciously sat up straight.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Cao is all over the world, and those who can be called heroes are the only four monarchs and Cao Er, and the rest are all local chickens and dogs, so don't worry, what do you think?" ”
The four of them couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard Cao Cao's words, but after being stunned, they all smiled and nodded, and Lu Bu, who had the most straightforward temperament, said directly: "Meng De's words are true, I think that the two words of the Yuan family, the four worlds and the three dukes, the rich family of the world, the prestige of the Nuoda, and the family were all slaughtered by Dong thieves, and they didn't even have the courage to take revenge, how can they talk about heroes?" ”
Although the five people have a sense of self-obscenity when they say this, as Lu Bu said, those Kwantung princes who don't have the courage to pursue Dong Zhuo are indeed not taken seriously by the five people.
"With all due respect, the world is in turmoil, the people are displaced, and this is a chaotic era that has not been seen for 400 years. In my humble opinion, the male lord who surveys the world and recreates a prosperous world must be among the five of you and me. ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the four of them were shocked.
What is a chaotic era that has not been seen in 400 years? When is it 400 years forward? Chu and Han contended, when Han Gaozu founded the country!
Although Cao Cao's words are more subtle, he has already expressed his opinion very clearly - the Han family is dying, and the change of dynasty is just around the corner!
At present, no matter how the princes divide and annex, the banner they hold is "Kuang Fu Han Family", and Cao Cao's sentence is seriously politically incorrect.
In addition, Cao Cao has always stuck the label of a loyal minister of the Han family on his body before, even though the first impression of Cao Cao is a traitor all over the world, Cao Cao still has not given up the character of his loyal minister. Now his attitude has suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he has spoken disobediently in public, which is really a little surprising to everyone.
However, except for a certain god of war who did not want to be named, the others were all human spirits, and after a little thought, they understood the reason for Cao Cao's transformation.
The little emperor is stupid, this news has been confirmed by Xin Ping, Xun You, and Jian Yong. The news is still in the stage of chasing after the wind and shadows among the people, but it is almost well known at the top level.
Cao Cao is really a loyal minister, and it is impossible for him to put his life in the hands of a fool.
To be reasonable, the best choice at this time is to set up a new emperor, and it is best to find an adult to be the emperor, otherwise you will definitely not be able to control the current complicated situation.
However, because Dong Zhuo practiced dragon casting and wantonly slaughtered dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, all the royal bloodlines except for Princess Wannian, the daughter of Emperor Ling of Han, escaped because of Diao Chan's protection, and all the others died.
If you want to set up a new emperor, you can only look for it from the side lines, such as Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Biao and others, but then again, why choose the three of them as emperors? Liu Bei was not convinced at first!
It's all a side royal family that can't be beaten by eight poles, who is afraid of whom!
The royal family has no suitable heir, and it coincides with troubled times, unless Cao Cao is a true loyal minister like Lu Zhi, who is dedicated to the public, he must change his strategy.
