Chapter 243: The Way of Advance and Retreat

In fact, both of them understood in their hearts that when it comes to a Xuan-level general, the price of 500,000 gold is absolutely the price of cabbage. But this matter is also a coincidence: for the forces of Tianma City, Song Xian is a bit of a chicken, and Xue Weiyang is the relative tyrant of the four alliance forces, and his ambitions are not big; Compared with the Yan family, the strength is stronger, and it is worthy of Ye Teng's friendship.

Getting a Xuan-level military general at a low price, Shangguan Xue'er was in a good mood, and finally cared about Ye Teng's intentions: "Brother Ye is here this time, should there be something important?" ”

"It's nothing, just to see if your official has bought it, and when will we evacuate." Ye Teng said calmly.

"I see. It should be soon, it is said that the negotiations between the Shenzhou League and Dong Zhuo have basically reached an agreement. The young emperor entered the palace, drafted the edict, and stamped the jade seal of the country. It is estimated that the matter can be completed today, and the process of buying an official should be completed tomorrow. ”

"What agreement did Long Xiaotian and Dong Zhuo reach?" Ye Teng asked curiously.

"I know the general news, but it may not be the full version, after all, the players who participated in the negotiations at that time were the Shenzhou League and the Xuanyuan League, if you want to hide something, it is not difficult."

"Hmm!" Ye Teng nodded.

"It is said that Long Xiaotian won the Liaoxi Taishou, and the general of Jiazhendong! In the future, it will not only be able to control Liaoxi County, but also justifiably crusade against Liaodong County, Liaodong Subject, Xuansu County, Lelang County, etc.;

Emperor Xuanyuan was sealed as the Taishou of Hepu County, and it seems that there should be the intention of developing Hainan Island, oh, it is called Zhu Yazhou in the game.

In addition, Long Xiaotian also obtained 5 counties and 11 counties that can be sold to the outside world, which can be said to have made a fortune! ”

Shangguan Xue'er's eyes seemed to be shining with gold coins!

"Sure enough, I got rich, alas, I'm still too honest, why didn't I kill Dong Zhuo more at that time?" Ye Teng was a little depressed.

"Are you honest? It's going to be cheap and good! Forget it, I won't ask anymore, so as not to be more depressed. I'm about to become a difficult brother with Emperor Xuanyuan and the crown prince! Shangguan Xue'er's face was full of indignation.

"Of course, cheap can't all be taken advantage of by you high-ranking lords, there are many handsome guys and beauties among the wealthy families, but unfortunately, the "Princes of the World" under the control of the system god is not just a world of faces, she values character more!" Ye Teng said.

"I'm afraid I don't even look at the character, just the cunning, alas, my Shangguan Xue'er is just a little more honest!" Shangguan Xue'er looked at the princes of the world in a jerked tone.

——————————

Dong Zhuo is more depressed than Shangguan Xue'er!

After several days of negotiations, he finally reached an agreement with Long Xiaotian, Dong Zhuo embraced the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, and paid the honor guard from the general's mansion and marched towards the palace.

In the front, Li Su and Lu Bu led 10,000 violent bear troops to open the way, and in the rear, 50,000 Yulin troops that had just been incorporated during this period of time were ready to take over the palace guards.

The two sides completed the handover in front of the south gate of the palace - Suzaku Gate, and the young emperor personally took over the jade seal of the country, stamped it on more than a dozen of the holy decrees he had copied in advance, and then the Shenzhou League and the Xuanyuan League withdrew their troops in an orderly manner, and the Violent Bear Army and the Yulin Army entered in an orderly manner, as if everything was smooth and successful.

But when Dong Zhuo accompanied the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, passed through the Vermilion Bird Gate, and advanced to the South Palace, he saw ruins and broken walls everywhere, and no one was there! Dong Zhuo stood still in place, his eyes were extremely staring, his face was pale, and he ordered Li Su and the others:

"Go to every palace and take a look, is it all so broken?"

"No!"

After a while, news came from everywhere one after another: the world is as black as a crow, and all the palaces are as broken! These Inhuman armies didn't even leave Dong Zhuo with pots and pans, tables, chairs, and beds. Many walls had fallen down, many floors had been pried off, and they were cleaner than the villages of the Western Liangjun, oh no, than the robbers had visited.

Except for the walls that haven't fallen yet, they really moved the entire palace.

What about the dragon bed concubine and the treasury garden?

What about the gold, silver, jewelry, palace maids and eunuchs?

Nothing!

Dong Zhuo looked at the young emperor who was a little demented in front of him, and he was angry, this is your own palace Okay, you are a 13-year-old young man, and you still look like this, how can you have the majesty of a king? Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will abolish you!

"Come on, call me the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court, and the hundred civil and military officials, this big Han country is not my Dong Zhuo alone, let everyone contribute and repair the palace a little, so that His Majesty can be stationed in order to restart the government and govern the world!"

"No!" Li Su, a close minister, is also helpless, why do you leave all the errands to yourself, so I also let Li Ru share some of it.

——————————

In fact, Li Ru is not easy, he is also racking his brains for his father-in-law's great cause.

"Wen You, the jade seal of the country is in hand, but the current situation in Luoyang is becoming more and more complicated, how should we deal with it, you have to think of a way!" Dong Zhuo scratched his head a little.

"May I ask the will of the lord, is it to serve His Majesty to settle the world, or to divide one side and enjoy the glory of power?" Li Ru asked.

"How about Your Majesty to settle the world? What about the separating side? Dong Zhuo didn't understand.

"If the will of the lord is to serve His Majesty to secure the world, there will be dangers everywhere and difficulties.

Since Huan Ling, the emperor is mediocre, the eunuchs are dictatorial, the wind of the family annexing the land has become more and more intense, the small people are difficult to survive, and there are many people who abandon their families and businesses to flee the famine, the world is full of smoke, and bandits are everywhere.

If the lord has the ambition of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, he should reset the prime minister, control the court, obey the order of the Son of Heaven not to obey, and the whole army will be armed and deterrent the world!

It's just that now the trend of local secession is about to become a success, and the power of the family is all over the government and the opposition, and they control most of the money, grain, acres, population, and even the army of the Han Dynasty!

Therefore, the road is difficult and dangerous, and you can know it without asking! ”

Li Ru paused for a moment and continued:

"If the lord only wants to divide one side, then this matter is easy to hear!

Just move Your Majesty, the Imperial Court, and most of the population and wealth of Luoyang City to Chang'an to rebuild the second prosperous imperial capital of the Han Dynasty!

At the same time, through the right of Longyou, Guanzhong and Xiliang, the vast accumulation of money and grain, strong soldiers and horses, according to the letter of the valley pass to wait for the day.

Once the soldiers are well fed, they can follow the story of Emperor Qin and Gaozu and go out of the eastern part of the country to fight for the world; Retreat can have millions of male soldiers and watch the heroes fight, sit on the power, and enjoy the glory! ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes were as bright as darkness, and he pondered for a while, and said: "I have the heart to serve His Majesty to calm the world, but it is quite difficult, and I am afraid that I will not be caught; If you retreat to Chang'an immediately, everyone will inevitably be unwilling; How about going ahead with Huo Guang's affairs and implementing the strategy of Chang'an, which has prepared the way back? ”

Li Ru was silent for a long time, he knew Dong Zhuo's ambition very well, and now he was retreating to Chang'an, he was absolutely unwilling; However, if the two strategies are used together, I am afraid that neither goal can be achieved.

The former, doing their best, is still difficult to do well, let alone being distracted to prepare for the future? The latter, with the current strength of the Western Liang Army, if they go all out, it may be possible to occupy the northwest, but if they are single-minded, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not fuel-efficient lamps, and after the Western Liang Army and the Kwantung heroes fight each other and their vitality is greatly damaged, they may not be able to suppress them.

It's a pity that Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo's temperament very well, and he didn't persuade him, so he got up and bowed respectfully to Dong Zhuo, and then slowly retreated until he reached the door, then turned around and left slowly, with heavy steps and a happy mind.

Dong Zhuo also knew that Li Ru was not very satisfied with his choice, but after all, Li Ru was only a military advisor, if he didn't fight, how would the ambitions of the soldiers in the army be appeased?
