As mentioned last time, the civil and military officials in Xuchang now have four choices, the second of which is to continue to persuade the emperor to resist to the end and live and die with the Wei state. Frightened by Zhang Bao (actually a "CIA" agent lurking in Chang'an), there are very few families and clans that have taken this unwise option.

These people also entered the palace overnight, but the purpose of their entry into the palace was to protect the emperor and refute the capitulation faction, but their words were already weak and inaudible, and as soon as they spoke, they were almost drowned in a burst of verbal criticism;

The third type is people like Wang Lang, who choose neutrality and want to avoid taking sides. They take leave for all sorts of reasons, they think that as long as they don't take a stand, others won't treat them well, but unfortunately they haven't been to Africa, they don't know that there is an animal like an ostrich, and they don't know that there is a mentality called the ostrich mentality.

The number of such people is also very small, and most of them are people who have read a lot of Confucian classics and love face. They can't let go~ and switch to the new master, but they are afraid that their behavior will harm the entire clan, so they make this choice called "the golden mean" in their eyes. However, if Liu Hou is here, he will definitely send them a sentence: "I want to be a~, but I also want to set up an archway." ”

There are turbulence inside and outside Chang'an City, countless families are acting, countless officials and generals are arguing, and the royal family is panicking, many people are already thinking of a way out, and some people are even very envious of Cao Hong, who took refuge in Shu Han early, and now there is no need to worry about the safety of themselves and their families.

In addition to this, there are some undercurrents surging and something terrible brewing. This is the choice of the fourth type of people, who try to gather private soldiers, seize the city gate or important strongholds in the city by force, help the Han army occupy Chang'an, and become the hero of the new dynasty, so that the family and clan are not only not in danger, but can also climb to a new height.

The current Chang'an City is like a super whirlpool, in which countless people and things are involved, and it is like a volcanic crater ready to go, which may be blasted into the sky by a sudden eruption of magma at any time.

Xuchang, which is far away from the battlefield of Guanzhong, is surprisingly quiet at this time, and the Han Emperor Liu Hou is not paying attention to this war at this time, even if this is a big war that affects the attention of the people of the whole country, a big war that is destined to go down in history.

In fact, Liu Hou is not in Xuchang at all, and he is now on his way to "Nanxing". In Liu Hou's opinion, the Battle of Chang'an has almost settled, and he no longer needs to pay too much attention, and he can free up his hands to do other things.

Ever since he received the military report and knew that the Third Brigade of the First Division had joined up with Zhang Bao and successfully delivered a large number of weapons, ammunition and food to Zhang Bao, he knew that there was no suspense in this battle and the outcome was doomed.

After several reinforcements of Wei were wiped out or absorbed, the entire Guanzhong region became a large sheepfold, and the sheep locked in it had neither sharp claws to resist the attack of fierce beasts, nor a place to escape. The Northern Route Army led by Zhang Bao was a tiger that broke into the sheepfold, and now this tiger also wears steel teeth and steel claws.

If Zhang Bud can't eat these little lambs like this, then Liu Hou will give him a piece of tofu to bump into. However, Liu Hou is still very confident in him, and he took him with him to personally adjust~ After so many years of teaching, Zhang Bao's military qualities are still very good. Besides, there is still a staff department that has no last resort to help him, Liu Hou has full confidence and doesn't have to worry about this side anymore, just wait slowly for the moment when the fruits of victory will come.

Liu Hou's destination this time was Jingzhou, and the purpose of going to Jingzhou was of course not to visit the mountains and rivers, nor to visit relatives and friends, but to seek an opportunity to deal with Wu. After the fall of the Wei State, Liu Hou's next target was naturally the Wu State, which was a well-known thing to passers-by, and there was no way to hide it at all, and there was no need to hide it.

Since Jingzhou is Guan Gong's territory, and Guan Yinping is Guan Gong's daughter, this time, Nanxing Liu Hou brought Guan Yinping and asked her to visit her father by the way, and the other two queens continued to stay in Xuchang.

Of course, in addition to Empress Guan, he also brought a lot of civil and military officials, among which Sima Yi and the "three stinkers" must be brought, the four of them are Liu Hou's think tanks at this stage, and there are many places where they need to come up with ideas, and Liu Hou can't leave them for a while.

There are not many honor guards, Liu Hou has always disliked to pay attention to pomp, but symbolically let people carry some flags and erect a Huangluo umbrella, and the others are exempt if they can. Although there are not many honor guards, there are a lot of guard forces, and Liu Hou transferred the two brigades of the Yulin Army as the accompanying guards.

The commanders of these two brigades were Kong Ci and Guo Changsheng, respectively, while Mi Zhao remained in Xuchang. The combat effectiveness of the Yulin Army is the strongest in the entire Hong Army, and with these two brigades to protect them, even if there are 100,000 cold weapon troops, they can't help them.

Liu Hou still sat in his bulletproof carriage on this trip, but in order to confuse the public, he also made four carriages with the same appearance evenly distributed in the long line, so that even if someone wanted to assassinate him, there was only a one-fifth chance of choosing the right carriage.

After the assassin chooses the right carriage, he also has to face the strong and perverted defense of the carriage, which makes it unimaginably difficult to assassinate, at least in this era, Liu Hou can't think of any way for the enemy to assassinate himself.

The army marched southward, and arrived in Jingzhou without danger along the way. Thirty miles away from Jingzhou, Guan Gong and Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a long time. Zhuge Liang had been in charge of Yizhou before, Liu Hou was fighting at the front, and logistics support and local government affairs have always relied on Zhuge Liang's super internal affairs ability to handle them in an orderly manner.

It can be said that Liu Hou's successive victories in the front are attributed to this prime minister. However, now that the overall situation of the world has become clear, the court officials in Yizhou have moved to Xuchang one after another, and Zhuge Liang is almost the last part of the officials left.

In the end, Liu Hou issued an edict to use Chengdu as the accompanying capital, and only a small number of court officials and soldiers and horses were retained to continue to stay there, and Zhuge Liang and other last important ministers of the court were transferred. And Liu Hou had plans to go south to Jingzhou early in the morning, so he sent a letter to him, so that he didn't need to go to Xuchang, but waited for him in Jingzhou, so as to avoid his travel and fatigue.

Now Chengdu's strategic position is no longer important, if it were not for the existence of the "Ministry of Industry", Chengdu may not even be able to maintain the status of this accompanying capital, and will directly become a state capital.

At present, Shu Han can be said to be in a state of no capital, although the emperor is in Xuchang, but Liu Hou has not issued a clear decree to make Xuchang the capital, and Chengdu has become a companion capital, many officials are speculating whether the emperor's intention is to wait for Guanzhong to recover, Chang'an or Luoyang as the final capital.

Chang'an and Luoyang were the capitals of the Western and Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was not surprising that the emperor wanted to return to the glory of his ancestors. Although both have been destroyed since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after Cao Cao implemented the tuntian system in recent years, the economy of the north has recovered to a certain extent, and it is not impossible to re-establish the capital in these two places as long as it is cleaned up with dim sum.
