Because it will take time for Luoyang to be rebuilt.

And Chang'an has just been taken, whether it is the civil and military officials in the court, or the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under the command of Dong Zhuo, they are still in the mood of the people, and they urgently need stability and calmness.

Therefore, Cao Ang was not ready to leave Chang'an for a while, but sat in Chang'an City himself, and at the same time divided some of his soldiers and horses.

Began to sweep the surrounding counties and townships around the regional network centered on Chang'an City.

Including the remnants of the Xiliang Army that were defeated before and then scattered in various places, as well as the small forces in Chang'an City that changed several times in succession and then dispersed.

and most importantly, those who are unbearable to be knocked out of their bones because of the harsh government of the Chang'an court, and are unwilling to sell their children and daughters in order to survive, so they hide in the mountains and forests.

These are within the scope of the sweep.

Under Cao Ang's instructions, the army formed a carpet and carried out searches all over the world, but the main means were still to pacify and absorb.

There are very few times when force is really needed to suppress it.

…………

And in the days when Cao Ang was in Chang'an, several major events have happened.

One of the most noteworthy.

As Cao Ang expected, the little emperor Liu Xie was hijacked by the eunuchs secretly arranged by Li Ru and left Chang'an City.

All the way to the west.

The road is non-stop, running day and night, and he doesn't care whether the little emperor is stable or not.

This is completely different from the situation when Liu Wei was taken to Beibi Mountain by Zhang Rang and others.

After all, it was the spontaneous behavior of Zhang Rang and others who took Liu Wei away from the palace at the beginning, and they wanted to use it to get their lives, but now this action is under the secret instruction of Li Ru.

With such a day and night escape.

In addition, Cao Chun, who was chasing behind him, and the cavalry of the Cao army led by him, did not seriously search at all, but just walked through the procedures.

Under the joint efforts of the inside and outside, it was naturally impossible to catch up, so the eunuchs held Liu Xie hostage and successfully arrived at the marching camp where Li Dao Guo Yan was.

…………

And for Li and Guo.

This little emperor who fell from the sky and fell into his hands is tantamount to a generous gift, and the surprise he brought them cannot be described in words.

Although both of them are martial artists, they have been under Dong Zhuo's command for a long time, and they know better than anyone why Dong Zhuo was able to rise so quickly and be able to draw land as the king of Guanzhong.

In addition to the extremely powerful Xiliang Army at hand, the most important thing is to have the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the signboard and name of the Son of Heaven that he coerced the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, and established the Chang'an court because of it, that he was able to mix and flourish in these years.

So for the two of them today.

The arrival of the Son of Heaven was undoubtedly a surprise, which meant that they were also able to control the Son of Heaven.

If you accumulate a certain amount of strength, you may be able to copy the path that Dong Zhuo walked at the beginning, and even avoid the pits that Dong Zhuo stepped on.

In this way, wouldn't the achievements that can be obtained be even higher than Dong Zhuo?

With that in mind.

Li Dao and Guo Yan combined, even if they treated Liu Xie with courtesy, gave him the highest treatment in the army, and served him with good wine and meat.

But there is only one.

There is no freedom.

And after receiving this gift, the large army led by Li Guo and the others didn't even dare to stay in place for long, for fear that Cao Jun, who had reacted, would come over with tens of thousands of people to blast himself.

After simply putting it away and discarding some large and heavy things, he traveled lightly in the early morning of the next day and hurried all the way to Liangzhou.

…………

And when Chang'an City received the news.

The troops led by the two have already entered the border of Liangzhou, and even after crossing the state border, they have not stopped, and they are still continuing to move westward, and they have a posture of contacting each other with Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Liangzhou rebels.

After getting the news.

The civil and military ministers at all levels in Chang'an City, as well as the heads of many families, knew that once the little emperor was gone, there would be little hope of coming back.

After all, if you get a good thing, how can you let it go easily, and Liangzhou is located in a remote area, once Li Dao Guo Yan is connected with the Liangzhou rebels, he will hide in the hinterland of Liangzhou.

If you want to send a large army to conquer, the manpower and material resources required are probably not recorded in the Dao.

And at the moment, the imperial court is not a complete piece.

The Cao family, which supports the imperial court the most and is the strongest, is only the territory of nearly five states, including the entire Sizhou today.

It is impossible to delay a long time and spend a lot of resources in order to save a Liu Xie, but anyone with a brain knows that he can't do this.

So everyone acquiesced to one result.

That is, the little emperor is abolished.

As for how to elect a new co-leader of the world, or what method to use, to overcome the embarrassing situation of no one on the dragon chair.

It can only be discussed later.

Of course, there's nothing to talk about.

Cao Ang will only wait for the reconstruction work in Luoyang to get on the right track, and he will immediately make Liu Wei's existence public, and there will be no obstacles at that time!

…………

There's one more thing besides.

That is, with the stabilization of the situation in Chang'an.

Cao's army quickly took over the surrounding area and brought the Guanzhong area under his rule.

Many ministers of the DPRK and China immediately chose to stand in line quickly, visited Cao Ang one after another, and offered their loyalty to him and the Cao family.

This includes the fact that at the beginning, Cao Ang was vigorously swept away, and even the family heirloom seven-star treasure knife was allowed by Situ Wang.

It's just that this was originally an important minister in the court.

Now I can't, and I don't dare to put myself on the shelf of a high-ranking official in front of Cao Ang.

In the past few years that he has been coerced by Dong Zhuo, he can be regarded as being abused.

After all, there is no power in his hands, he is completely a rubber stamp, and he also needs to bear the huge pressure brought by the outside world, and he may lose his life at any time.

Today's Wang Yun is compared to the past, in just a few years, he seems to be more than ten years old.

And for his surrender.

Cao Ang naturally accepted it gladly.

One is that Wang Yun has been in this court for so many years, and he is also familiar with it, has his own mountain, and has a certain role.

The other is to take care of the old feelings.

The so-called raw is better than familiar, how can a person who doesn't know anything compare to a person like Wang Yun who knows the roots and has a little bit of past friendship?

And except for Wang Yun.

Cao Ang also appeased and promoted a lot of people.

Like his father-in-law, that is, Cai Yan's father Cai Yong, Cao Ang also paid special attention.

Although this old comrade has a relatively low emotional intelligence.

But Cao Ang definitely can't let him go to the road of early death like his original fate.

…………

At the moment in Chang'an City.

In the mansion temporarily set up to deal with official documents and government affairs, Cao Ang was carefully looking at a silk book that Li Ru had just handed over.

After looking through it.

Cao Ang suddenly burst out laughing.

Then while shaking his head, he asked lightly: "This Liu Yan is quite interesting, what he said in his letter, it seems that he plans to leave his sons in Chang'an, and they all want to go back?" ”

Li Ru standing aside.

First bowed slightly to Cao Ang respectfully, and then replied with his hand: "General Mingjian, this document actually arrived in Chang'an a few months ago. ”

"It's just that at that time, Dong Thief was greedy for pleasure and had no time to deal with such a trivial matter, so he backlogged this letter, and it was not until today that the subordinates remembered it, so they handed it to the general for you to see."

"According to what Liu Yan said, he feels that the limit is approaching, time is running out, I am afraid that there is no one to inherit the family business, and there is no one around him, and no one is filial to serve him."

"Therefore, I ask the imperial court to let go of his sons and return to Yizhou for the sake of his imminent death, and please show the general about this matter."

…………

Liu Yan.

This buddy Cao Ang knows.

It is the clan surnamed Liu, the pastor of Yizhou, and the actual emperor of Yizhou, who wants the existence of the Zhangba snake spear more than Zhang Fei.

But compared to these.

Liu Yan is truly memorable.

It is still the policy he proposed to abolish history and establish pastors.

This is precisely a booster that accelerates the collapse of the Han Dynasty, towards its decline, and on the road to the destruction of cars and deaths, and slams on the accelerator all the way.

And he hid in Yizhou and refused to come out, also because there was a master who pointed out that Yizhou has dragon energy, and the emperor can come out of this place in the future.

I have to say that the master is quite accurate.

It's a pity that the time was miscalculated.

After two generations of Liu Yan and his son Liu Zhang, this prophecy was fulfilled and cashed on Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

If Liu Yan learns this news, I'm afraid he will be able to jump out of the coffin angrily.

But none of this has anything to do with Cao Ang.

No matter how much Liu Yan can calculate, it is just a corner of peace, in his eyes, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and he will not delay in cleaning up the last one.

And Liu Bei is even more unlikely to be the emperor.

Now he is still nesting in Pingyuan County in the north of Qingzhou as a county commander, and when he has a certain amount of power, I am afraid that Cao Ang has unified the world.

…………

I thought to myself.

Cao Ang also made a decision immediately.

immediately threw Liu Yan's letter on the table, and then instructed Li Ru with half a question and half an answer.

"At the beginning, Liu Yan sent a few sons-in-law to the court, which was supposed to play the role of a proton, but the court in order to prevent him from hiding in Yizhou, the sky is high and the road is far away, and he is self-reliant, and he does not obey the orders of the court, so he came up with this strategy."

"Now this old guy is nine times out of ten, he is watching the turmoil on the side of Chang'an, and he feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, and he wants to take advantage of the chaos to make profits."

"With such an idea, how can I do what he wants, but since he said that his time is short, the court is not too good to be too cold, so let's take a compromise."

Speaking of which.

Cao Ang's right hand tapped lightly on the table.

Then his eyes flashed, and he commanded.

"He has three sons in Chang'an, the eldest son and the second son are not allowed to return to Yizhou, and the remaining young son named Liu Zhang will arrange for him to watch the review of the three armies together, and then let him return to Yizhou."

Reviewing the three armies was also one of Cao Ang's arrangements.

The purpose is to deter people's minds and stabilize the situation.

After all, the 80,000 troops I heard in my ears, tens of thousands of soldiers, and witnessed the endless torrent of troops across mountains and seas.

The two are completely different!

In the former, there may still be people who can take chances and secretly concoct some intrigues.

But the latter will only make them tremble, tremble, and dare not have the slightest resistance.

…………

Three days later.

It is located at the east gate of Chang'an City.

Tens of thousands of troops are here.

In the air, there are military flags embroidered with all kinds of words, fluttering in the wind, among which the highest specification and the most noble one looks like the most noble, which is a large flag embroidered with the character Cao.

And under these many flags.

It is a murderous aura that soars into the sky.

With the sound of war drums and horns, one group after another of soldiers, led by their respective generals, slowly came to the wilderness outside the city from a distance, and after a shocking shout of killing, they assembled in another formation.

Even after defeating Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, the tens of thousands of surrendered troops captured were also compiled in the queue for review.

A vast army of more than 100,000 in total.

The plains and wilderness on the east side of Chang'an City are filled tightly, and when you stand on the tall city tower and look at it, you really can't see the bottom at a glance.

Such a huge military parade.

It starts early in the morning.

It wasn't until near evening, when the sun was about to set, that it was over.

And when everyone left in an orderly manner, under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, they went down to the city tower one after another.

Cao Ang found Liu Zhang, whom he specially invited.

…………

"Ji Yu, take a slow step!"

With the sound ringing in his ears, Liu Zhang, who was originally shrinking in the crowd and trying to reduce his sense of existence, suddenly turned his head.

When he found out that the person who stopped him was the actual owner of Chang'an City, that is, Cao Ang of the Cao family, the whole person couldn't help but shudder, and then replied with some cringe.

"Xiaguan Liu Zhang, I've seen General Cao!"

In the face of Liu Zhang's fear, Cao Ang's eyes flashed with a different color, and then he said with a light smile.

"Today, Ji Yu watched me inspect the three armies, I don't know how I feel?"

As Cao Ang asked.

Liu Zhang seemed to recall the scene he had seen before, thinking of the vast army that was sweeping to the sky, and the elite who were refreshed and murderous and soared into the sky.

I couldn't help but show a look of panic on my face.

Then he forcibly squeezed out a few forced smiles on his face, and praised Cao Ang again and again: "The general is a famous general in the world, he has won a hundred battles, and no one in the world can beat him." ”

"The soldiers under your command are naturally brave and good at fighting, invincible, in Zhang's opinion, they only feel like heavenly soldiers descending into the world, enough to sweep everything!"

Liu Zhang's answer made Cao Ang nod with satisfaction.

He asked casually as he raised his hand to invite the kid to go down the tower with him.

"Ling Zun sent a letter a few months ago, saying that he is now terminally ill and his days are short, and he wants someone to go back to serve on the side of the sickbed and inherit the family business."

"I already know about this matter, and I plan to leave your eldest brother and second brother behind, and only allow you to return to Yizhou, I don't know what do you think?"

…………

I heard this at first glance.

Liu Zhang was stunned at first.

Then there was ecstasy on his face.

There was an excitement that could not be concealed.

Obviously, he had known that there was such a thing, but there was no way to go back, after all, his personal freedom had never belonged to him.

Now I heard that Cao Ang agreed to let him go back, and on the premise of leaving his eldest brother and second brother behind, he only let him go back alone.

How could this not cause him ecstasy?

After all, the father's family business is only one share, and the more sons he returns, the less he can share.

On this kind of key issue, even if it is a brother, it must be settled, Liu Zhang feels that this is a God-given opportunity for himself!

If the father is really sick.

And at that time, if there was only one son-in-law like himself around his old man, wouldn't he have to inherit the huge inheritance?

He can go from a proton who has lived in Chang'an for a long time, an unknown Fengche Duwei, to become the owner of Yizhou, one of the thirteen states in the world.

It's exciting to think about!

…………

After barely restraining his emotions.

Liu Zhangdang bowed to Cao Ang and said with thanks.

"My father is seriously ill, and the three of my brothers are far away in Chang'an, so they can't serve left and right, so as to fulfill their filial piety, it really makes Zhang heartbroken and anxious."

"God is fortunate to have a general, you are magnanimous, benevolent and righteous like the sea, I wish the whole love of my father and son, Zhang is really grateful, I don't know what to say!"

Liu Zhang's reaction was expected by Cao Ang.

He raised his hand and stopped Liu Zhang's words.

Then he said in a deep and calm voice: "Yizhou is surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and there are many inconveniences for cars and horses, so whether Ling Zun is seriously ill and bedridden, or whether Ji Linger and others go back, this matter is unknown." ”

"But there is one word, I need to warn Ji Yu."

Cao Ang's voice was as flat as water.

It's not powerful or murderous.

But when it fell on Liu Zhang's ears, it made him shudder for no reason, only to feel that under this seemingly calm tone, what was hidden was the wind and frost sword.

Once the answer is not good, I am afraid that what awaits him will not be too good.

Think about it here.

Liu Zhang immediately saluted Cao Ang solemnly and waited for Cao Ang's next words.

…………

"Last year, someone wrote to the imperial court, secretly telling my father that he had hoarded soldiers and horses in Yizhou, exceeded the etiquette system, and cut off the messengers of the imperial court.

"I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't have time to track it down, but when you return to Yizhou this time, please tell your father."

"You father and son had better be honest, if you dare to betray the court and stand on your own, I will personally lead an army of 100,000 people, even if it is over the mountains and mountains, I will enter Yizhou, and crusade against Er, etc., without leaving any trouble!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Liu Zhang was taken aback.

Hurriedly explained to Cao Ang: "General, you have misunderstood, my father is loyal to the imperial court, as a clan, how can he not respect the Son of Heaven." ”

"There must be a villain who is slandering, or he doesn't know the truth of the matter and is blinded!"

"I still hope that the general will be clear!"

Before Liu Zhang could write a tirade explaining how loyal his father and son were, Cao Ang waved his hand and interrupted him.

"I don't need to explain so much, I'm just a warning, what it's like, when you arrive in Yizhou, you will naturally know it."

"What to do, how to choose, I hope you can do it yourself, don't say it unexpectedly!"

Let's talk about it.

Cao Ang waved the sleeves of his robe.

Liu Zhang went down the city tower first.

…………

On the way back to the palace.

Cao Ang thought about the threat he had just made to Liu Zhang, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

He pays attention to the right medicine.

What kind of person, what kind of character, what kind of method he uses to target.

First of all, the current Yizhou Mu Liu Yan is a short-lived ghost, although he is pretending to be sick now, he will indeed die in two years.

At that time, the one who inherits all his family business will be Liu Zhang, who he deliberately put back, and there is no other choice.

And Liu Zhang, who is suspicious and cowardly, is timid and afraid.

Cao Ang has a two-pronged approach.

While carrying him over, he witnessed the strength of the Cao army, and the 100,000 army was overwhelming, what it looked like, which shocked him fiercely.

On the other hand, he made threats with words.

As long as things are not as expected.

Liu Zhang stayed in Yizhou, as long as he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, he would think of what he saw and heard today, and then quickly dispelled his psychological ambitions.

And so it goes.

Not only can the land of Yizhou be stabilized, but there is no need to think about it in a short period of time, and it is as if he does not exist to deal with the affairs of Yizhou.

At the same time, after leveling out the other core states.

All it takes is a letter of persuasion.

It was enough for Liu Zhang to obediently offer all the counties and cities under his rule without much effort, all thanks to today's work.

………………

With the continuous rotation of the time scale.

Finally, good news came from Luoyang.

Cao Cao said in the letter that although the restoration work has not been completed, the basic buildings that can show the majesty of the Son of Heaven have been largely restored.

Announce the existence of Liu Bian, the Son of Heaven, to the world.

The time has come.

Cao Ang immediately responded, and sent his reply to Luoyang, asking his father Cao Cao to start the matter as soon as possible.

And that also means a little bit.

That is, in the game of chess in the world, the Cao family officially entered the sweeping stage, and after the Son of Heaven ordered not to submit to him, he wiped out all the few families.

It's coming to an end.
