Chapter 64: The Yang Order
Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu, in fact, there was a clear answer to this question: "There is a saying in the teacher's book, you can bring some good warriors appropriately, after all, the imperial court is also at the time of employing people." ”
Lu Zhi in the letter to Liu Bei, once mentioned that Liu Bei can bring some elite soldiers into Beijing, although Liu Bei's soldiers are not regular soldiers, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion to recruit village warriors, to this day a few years later, how can there be a group of elite soldiers who are good at fighting, these people are an elite soldiers and horses with a little training, so it is a pity to discard them, so Lu Zhi let them bring them into the capital.
As for whether Liu Bei will control more power because of these soldiers and horses...... Don't be kidding, how many elites can there be under Liu Bei's account? Although the imperial court does not have many soldiers and horses, but it is compared with whom, maybe in the northwest Li Dao, Guo Yan, Ma Teng, and Han Sui have a large number of soldiers and horses, and their strength is far superior to that of the imperial court.
But compared with the soldiers and horses in Liu Bei's mere plain commander's hands, it is not much stronger.
After listening to the details of Liu Bei's letter, Guan Yu thought about it in the letter and suggested: "The soldiers in the army, there are many veterans who have followed the eldest brother for several years, all of them are elite, and it is a pity to abandon them. Since there is an explanation, it is better to only take the elite and take it away. ”
Guan Yu also saw the situation, so he made a suggestion, and after Liu Bei nodded in approval, he asked Guan Yu and Jian Yong to pick out the elite soldiers under the tent, and then collect the ordnance, and equip the last selected elite to bring them all into the capital.
In the end, after a few days of busyness, more than 200 elite soldiers were selected, and Zhang Fei selected some strong enough to make up 300, all of whom were wearing leaky leather armor and holding brand-new blades.
Guan Yu also selected the elite of the fifty elites, each with a ring and a sword, as a personal guard to protect Liu Bei - according to the custom at this time, even if Liu Bei enters Beijing to serve as a civilian, it is normal to leave some personal guards, so these fifty are not only the best fighters, but also the weapons are picked and taken.
After making such preparations, the summer has gradually passed, at this time, the coalition army has begun to have signs of civil strife because of the lack of work for a long time, Liu Bei saw this situation, and was even more reluctant to stay for a long time, and handed over all the remaining soldiers and horses to Gongsun Zhan, and led three hundred elites and his own brothers and Jian Yong to the west to Chang'an.
At that time, Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Bei had been recruited by the imperial court, and he also wished Liu Bei a smooth journey, and at the same time sent dozens of good horses, brand-new ordnance, and some grain and grass, and then said goodbye to Liu Bei, and began to wonder what is the point of staying here?
After Liu Bei set off, Jian Yong took the letter and went to Chang'an first, and he took people to walk slowly behind, estimating that he could go to Chang'an in the autumn, and he was also quite worried about what would happen after arriving in Chang'an, but he only felt that he would get a lot from going to Chang'an this time, and if he could be recognized by the Han family, then it would not be in vain to enter Beijing.
He didn't know that not long after leaving, civil strife broke out again in the city of Luoyang, after Dong Zhuo's death, his generals formed factions, sitting on soldiers and horses and disobeying each other, today because of some trivial conflicts, the result was a chaotic battle among the soldiers and horses in the city, and some people took advantage of the chaos to do that dirty thing, for a time the city of Luoyang was in chaos, robbery, arson, revenge, robbery of the people's daughters, all kinds of things made the city more and more chaotic, if it wasn't for Sun Jian to see that the situation was not right and take the opportunity to attack the city, no one knows what this Luoyang would become in the end.
The city of Luoyang was broken, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo in the city came back to their senses and fled in all directions, but most of them were killed by the coalition forces guarding outside, and there were not many people who escaped in the end, most of them got into the mountains and forests and fell into the grass.
Of course, there are also small groups such as Xu Rong, Fan Chou and others who escaped with soldiers and horses, and it seems that they want to go south to find Zhang Ji, these two people are extremely brave because of the elite soldiers, and they are also extremely brave, plus the coalition army saw that the city of Luoyang was broken, they all fought to enter the city, and they were unwilling to fight to the death, and finally escaped out of a bloody way.
When the news reached Chang'an, Liu Bei had not yet arrived, Liu Xuan looked at the piece in his hand, and knew that Sun Jian would then find the jade seal of the country, and then there would be a big battle between him and Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
"Huh, Jingzhou's power is deep-rooted, why don't you get rid of it after borrowing the Sun family?"
Thinking about it, if this is the case, it is best not to care about Sun Jian, anyway, this trip to the south, Sun Jian and Liu Biao clashed, and after the two families became mortal enemies, the Sun family would endlessly fight with Liu Biao in Jingzhou - only by constantly fighting can the elite talents of the Jingzhou Shi clan be consumed.
In the end, when he was weak, he was wiped out in one fell swoop - as for what would happen if Jingzhou was occupied by the Sun family? Liu Xuan was not afraid, it was a big deal to fight back. If he was afraid of that, he would not give up all the places and only control the surrounding areas of Chang'an.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Xuan didn't pay attention to the affairs of the coalition army, what he cared about was that after the coalition army took Luoyang, the palace in Luoyan City had been completely dilapidated, and those guys had taken turns to harm the Luoyang Palace during this time, and when the city was finally broken, I don't know which guy remembered to use the fire of the palace to create chaos and take the opportunity to escape.
Not to mention, this method is really good, and in the end, after the coalition army entered the city, they were busy extinguishing the palace fire, and there were really not many people chasing and killing these scattered and fleeing routs.
However, the palace was not saved in the end, but compared to the original history of the entire Luoyang City turned into scorched earth, the current situation is still a lot stronger.
After Yuan Shao's army entered the city, he and Gongsun Zhan were busy making a list of Anmin, while letting the soldiers sort out the chaos in the city, and at the same time arresting those who took advantage of the chaos to do evil things and punishing them according to law.
But in this way, there is another troublesome problem in front of everyone...... There is no one to govern Luoyang City now, so the imperial court must appoint a governor, right?
The coalition forces themselves did not dare to delay this matter, and immediately asked the imperial court to appoint the Luoyang Order, and at the same time, many people went to the table to ask for officials, mostly official positions related to Luoyang - but this is not the most important, the important thing is that there are several people who ask the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang.
The reason is also extremely sufficient, only to say that the national thief Dong Zhuo is dead, and the rest of the party has been wiped out, and the first son moved the capital to Chang'an to avoid disaster, but now that the disaster has been eliminated, he should return to Luoyang to govern the world - as for the issue of the palace, they didn't mention half a word, but it was not like that.
When he was in the last dynasty, Liu Xuan asked the attendant Yushi to read these tables one by one, and before he finished reading half of it, the face of the Chinese martial arts in the court was not so good.
This group of guys on the table obviously didn't have any good intentions, especially the few people who urged the Son of Heaven to return to Luoyang, all of them begged for official positions for themselves in the table - they all wanted official positions in Luoyang City.
These two things seem to be unconnected, but they are actually very linked. The official rank that these people want is not high, and there are even lower than their current ranks, but why do they want to? It is nothing more than wanting to emulate Dong Zhuo and He Jin, and control the court with military power in their hands.
If Luoyang is the capital, then no matter how low these officials are, they can be a few levels higher, and if they have soldiers and horses in their hands, there is naturally no suspense about achieving great causes.
But which one of the Chinese martial arts is a fool? No one will agree. Especially thinking that the purpose of these guys is to ride on their heads to make a fortune, the faces of the princes of the court became more and more ugly.
Liu Xuan saw that the faces of this group of people were not very good, so he felt that the goal had been achieved, and waved his hand: "You don't need to read it anymore, how do you think this matter should be decided?"
These words were naturally to ask the opinion of the Chinese martial arts, but everyone looked around and found that there was really no good idea.
Naturally, it is impossible, right now the Son of Heaven is sitting in Chang'an, governing the people's livelihood, organizing and training soldiers and horses, as if he is going to make a big deal, and before the thing is done, he will take a large number of people and run back to Luoyang?
What's more, now that the power of the imperial court is limited, and there are not many soldiers and horses, you can only take one side first, and then take the other side.
Although the ministers of the court are all scribes, it is not that they do not know about military affairs, and they have already guessed the general plan of the Son of Heaven for so many days, only from that kind of plan, the Son of Heaven obviously occupied Yongliang first, and then took the land of Guanzhong as the foundation, and then killed back to Kanto, and finally swept the world and restored the orthodoxy of the country.
After many civil and military officers saw this, they had no resistance to Dingdu in Chang'an, not to mention that Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and there was no need to run back to a dilapidated Luoyang from any point of view.
"The matter of returning the capital is quite inappropriate at this time, and Your Majesty can ignore it. ”
In the end, it was Situ Wang who agreed to Liu Xuan's words, he saw the stakes and the stakes, and he was the most prestigious person in the court at this time, so he naturally asked him to speak first.
As soon as these words came out, Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao, Si Li Lieutenant Huang Wan, and Sikong Zhang Wen all responded, but Liu Xuan noticed that Tai Fu Yuan Kui had been silent, probably because there were two of his clansmen in the coalition army, and he couldn't speak, so he had to pretend to be dumb.
"It's naturally not okay, what we want to discuss now is, who can be the Yang Order?"
In the Han Dynasty system, a county with a population of more than 10,000 households was set up with an order, and a chief was set up below 10,000 households.
For example, Liu Bei is now guarding the plain county order, which means that Liu Bei governs a large county with more than 10,000 households, and this level is higher than that of the county magistrate. Although Luoyang is the capital, the governor of a city is just a Luoyang order, but because of its special circumstances, this Luoyang order is more than the ordinary big county and county order cattle - can enter the court and be directly responsible to the emperor.
This point shows the special nature of the Luoyang Order, which is also the reason why some people want to ask for the Luoyang Order - but the problem is that if the imperial court is not in Luoyang, this Luoyang Order will be a bit chicken, at most it is a little detached in status, and the real power is subject to Henan Yin.
There are so many messy joints, coupled with the extremely sensitive position of Luoyang, who is in charge of this Luoyang Order, which really makes the Manchu Dynasty civil and military nerves very troubled, and as a result, they discussed and discussed, and in the end only two people came up with two candidates.
"Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, can be the Yang Order. It's just that if these two people serve in the Luoyang Order, it seems to be a little unreliable, which is equivalent to demotion, and in the end, Yuan Kui made a suggestion: "Since the capital is Chang'an, Henan Yin should be abolished and Henan Taishou should be replaced, why not use Kong Wenju to govern Luoyang?"
