Chapter 19: Preparing to Leave

"Congratulations to Meng De for capturing this thief!" Li You took Liu Bei and his soldiers and horses to the city gate to greet them, this time Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng and his entourage gained a lot, not only caught Dong Zhuo, but also surrendered Li Ru and other Dong Zhuo's strategists and generals, but also took the gold, silver and jewelry that Dong Zhuo had worked hard to loot.

"If it weren't for the Wenjie, how could we have come here to win!" Everyone returned the salute together, and what he said made sense, since the beginning of Bishui Pass, beheading Huaxiong, seizing Bishui Pass, defeating Lu Bu, breaking the Tiger Prison Pass, and marching into Luoyang, all of the battles relied on the play of Li You's men to win; Without him, the situation would be very different!

"Where is Your Majesty?" Liu Bei couldn't wait to meet Emperor Han Xian.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to return to the palace earlier, I have prepared a banquet in the palace for Your Majesty to receive the wind and wash the dust! Celebrate all of you! "Li You is not interested in Emperor Han Xian.

Back in the palace, everyone bathed and changed clothes after the banquet was set up in the main hall, Emperor Han Xian sat on the dragon chair, and the ministers visited in turn; When it was Li You's turn, he secretly took a look, only to see that Emperor Han Xian was cramped and restless on the throne, without the spirit of an emperor, and sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that there is not much time left for this Liu family's country.

The feast opened, and everyone had different forms; Cao Cao was worried about the aftermath and kept looking at the princes present; Liu Bei and Emperor Han Xian's uncle and nephew recognized each other, and they confirmed the name of the emperor's uncle, and burst into tears; Sun Jian has made great contributions repeatedly, and he feels that the Sun family is expected to prosper, and his high-spirited feelings are visible; Ma Teng and Gongsun Chan were full of pride, drinking wine one after another; Only Li You pondered when to return to the main world, and his face was calm.

After the banquet, Emperor Han Xian returned to the palace, and the others gathered at Cao Cao's residence to discuss the aftermath! "Although Dong Zhuo is gone, Yuan Shao and the others are still outside Luoyang City, and the Yellow Turban is still making trouble everywhere! I don't know what the princes have to do? Cao Cao looked at Li You and asked.

"At present, Dong Zhuo's chaotic army has not been completely subdued, and it needs to be pacified as soon as possible! Meng Deke played His Majesty's canonization of Li Ru and ordered him to lead part of the rebellious army to return to Xiliang! Bring Li Dao and Guo Yan under the command of Meng De, and then send people to persuade Niu Fu and others who are entrenched in Chang'an to return to obedience! "Li You first talked about the method of disposing of Dong Zhuo's old department! It is not realistic to completely clean them up, and at present, we can only adopt the method of only punishing the evil and coercing them without asking questions, and wait for the political situation to be stable in the future before dealing with them.

"Li Ru, Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others can not be pursued for the time being! Dong Zhuo's crime is extremely heinous, and he must be punished with capital punishment to calm the heart of the world! Sun Jian was jealous and hateful, and he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo on the way, and according to his temperament, Li Ru and others should also be executed, but he knew that if he dealt with these people, the Xiliang army would inevitably be in chaos, so he could only keep this matter in mind.

And Li You also thought like this, so he did not suggest that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others be assigned to the three of them, "Wentai rest assured, tomorrow I will ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish Dong Zhuo with a car split!" "Cao Cao is also afraid of long nights and dreams, in case someone rescues Dong Zhuo again, it will be bad! For this reason, he arranged for the Xiahou brothers to take care of Dong Zhuo personally.

"As for Yuan Shao and the others, they have different thoughts, and they can be divided! For Kong Rong and other literary scholars, they can be summoned to the imperial court as officials! Liu Dai of the clan rewarded him with a generous reward to return to his heart; Tao Qianqiao is only average, not to be worried, but Enyin his son and nephew entered the court as an official; As for the Yuan brothers," Li You said of his own disposal suggestions, "these two are quite ambitious, they can reward one and reprimand the other, and the two of them already have a lot of discord, so they will definitely guard against each other!" We can break it one at a time. ”

To be honest, most of the other princes are mediocre people, as long as Cao Cao and others control the political situation in Luoyang, these people will not be able to make too many waves.

After some bargaining, due to Li You's concession and support, Cao Cao got the biggest cake and stayed in Luoyang to preside over the government, while Liu Bei and Sun Jian. Gongsun Zhan and Ma Teng each have a reward, and they will lead troops to recruit the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the princes who may cause rebellion in the future.

Li You just asked for a noble and noble idle position, and he was worthy of Han Fu, who was occupied by himself! If it weren't for Li You, Han Fu would have been taken to Jizhou by Yuan Shao soon after, and then committed suicide! Now as long as he is not brain-dead to death, with the merits and connections left by Li You, Cao Cao will definitely take care of his old age.

The next day, everyone asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue a holy decree to execute Dong Zhuo in public, and rewarded the generals left by Dong Zhuo, and their hanging hearts were slightly calmer.

Other messengers scattered the princes in their tents with the decree, and most of them were satisfied with the disposition of the decree; Kong Rong immediately packed up his things and planned to go to Luoyang to meet Emperor Han Xian, Liu Dai kowtowed in the direction of Luoyang to thank him, and Tao Qian Qiaomao and the others began to have a headache about which child to arrange this kind of good thing to themselves.

Only the Yuan brothers were dissatisfied, but the other princes were either ready to enter Luoyang to thank him, or they were ready to leave! The two of them were alone and unable to compete with Cao Cao in the city, coupled with the provocation of the imperial court, the two of them quarreled and then led their troops back to Bohai and Nanyang.

In the city of Luoyang, Cao Cao and the newly returned Xun You, Jia Xu and other strategists tried their best to clean up the mess, and Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian each reorganized their armies and prepared to rush to the Quartet to clean up the remnants of the Yellow Turban; Only Li leisurely wandered around, he ran around all over the surrounding places where he might have access to special props, such as the cemetery where Wei Qinghuo was sick, the old place of Zhou Yafu's Xiliu camp, etc., but unfortunately he didn't gain anything at all.

It wasn't long before the day of his return to the Overworld was approaching! He went to visit Cao Cao for the last time, "Meng De, now that I am a civil official, it is not suitable for me to continue to lead the troops, and my soldiers and horses and Pan Feng will be entrusted to Meng De!" ”

Now Cao Cao's troops are still a little insufficient, so Li You simply handed over his soldiers and horses to him! Anyway, leaving it to Han Fu is not only useless, but maybe he may also get into trouble because of these soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao was surprised at first, but at Li You's insistence, he still accepted these soldiers and horses! Li You simply did good things to the end, and wrote a letter to Lu Yi who stayed in Jizhou, asking him to also submit to Cao Cao, as for Lu Yi to listen to it or not, it depends on his creation!

Cao Cao thanked him again and again, and also dispelled the last scruples about Han Fu, and took what Li You said that the tiger prison was closed that day was running out!

With his original army of tens of thousands, plus Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other surrendered troops, and now Han Fu's soldiers and horses have been supplemented, plus Xun You, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai and other strategists, and also occupy the righteous name of the princes by coercing the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao has now become the strongest prince.
