"What, Cao Cao dared to attack Xiangyang, why didn't you tell me about such an important military situation earlier? What is your intention?" Huang Zhong was furious when he heard this, and started shooting the case.
Xu Huang hurriedly said: "Han Shengsheng's anger, Cao Cao has suffered a disastrous defeat in Xiangyang, and less than 30% of the 100,000 army has escaped. Xu and Berning are worried about the safety of Jiangxia and Changsha."
After listening to Man Chong’s emergency military situation, Liu Xin seemed calm and calm on the surface, but he was extremely nervous, but he knew better that the more at this time, the calmer his mind, and he must wait to figure out the situation before making arrangements. Sure enough, it hasn’t been. When he made a decision, Xu Huang told the news of Cao Cao’s defeat. Liu Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Gongming, I believe Yuan Shu will not be Junyi’s opponent. As for Yan Baihu, it’s not worth mentioning, just The chaos of the war will inevitably affect the people’s livelihood, and it is necessary to do a good job in relief and aftermath. Now Wuguan has been overcome. It is only two days from Chang'an to Xiangyang. I want to go back to Xiangyang."
Kuai Yue leaned forward and said, "I will tell the lord, since Xiangyang is safe and sound, why should the lord be in a hurry? The subordinates think that the top priority is to win Liangzhou and Sili."
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Yidu's words are just what I want. These two places are definitely going to be taken. Gongming, the attack on Luoyang will be left to you."
Xu Huang arched his hands and said: "Enlighten the lord, the final general is here for this. Cao Cao has many elite soldiers and strong generals. If he fights with him head-on, he will not be able to use fewer soldiers. For fear of instability in the rear, the final will be in a dilemma.
Chen Gong stood up and said: "Lord, what Gongming said is extremely true. For half a year of fighting, soldiers were injured and killed, money and food was lost. The most suitable rest and recuperation is that the subordinates think that the lord can temporarily return to Xiangyang and wait for another fight next year."
Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "Liu Xie has already fled to Luoyang. He will not be caught for a while. If I don’t expect it, Cao Cao will take Liu Xie back to Puyang within a few days, and Luoyang will be left. An empty city, Gongming, you immediately return to Hongnong to prepare. You will send troops to Luoyang tomorrow morning. Make sure you don’t let Cao Cao forcibly remove the people of Luoyang. Don’t worry about the strength of the army. I have 8,000 cavalry here, all of which will be handed over to you. command,"
Cheng Yu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, tell the lord, Li Yu and Guo Bun escaped from Sanguan, they must dive to Liangzhou, they should be wiped out first, and the tiger should not be returned to the mountain. The top priority is to solve the Liangzhou problem first. There is no future trouble, the people in Liangzhou are sturdy. If there is no cavalry brigade as the vanguard, it will be difficult to conquer. Please think twice."
When discussing matters, Guo Jia, who rarely spoke up, suddenly stood up and said: "Master, there is something that subordinates don't know if it should be said or not."
Liu Xin has always placed high hopes on Guo Jia, the prodigal son. It’s just that he has acted more deeply recently. I don’t know what he’s thinking. Seeing that he has something to say, he nodded gently and motioned to him, but it’s okay.
Guo Jia glanced around at everyone present, and then said: "The lord now is not the time to return to Xiangyang, and there is no need to use troops against Liangzhou. As long as the lord continues to sit in Chang'an for some time, the counties of Liangzhou will come back."
When he said these words, everyone was shocked. Cheng Yu arched his hands and said, "Fengxiao, Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo’s lair. There are mostly his best buddies. Li Wei and Guo Ben are good at using soldiers. If they don’t use swordsmanship, they How to take the initiative to come down,"
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo is dead, and Xiliang’s powerful group of dragons has no leader. If the lord dispatches troops at this time, they will definitely fight together. Zhong Mou said just now that Liangzhou’s people will be sturdy and my army will inevitably be there. Injury, for the present plan, the lord only needs to sit in Chang'an, then hoard heavy troops in Xiaoguan, and put on a posture of a big fight. Liangzhou heroes will definitely capture Li Lao and Guo Bang to vote."
Cheng Yu pondered for a long while, and then asked: "The lord wants to send his troops to Luoyang, so how can he store his troops in Xiaoguan?"
Chen Gong laughed and said, "What's so difficult? Just..."
Before he finished his words, Man Chong hurriedly said: "I will tell your lord, sirs, these military affairs are not daring to be heard by your subordinates, so let's retire first."
Liu Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boning, since you abandoned Cao Cao to vote for me, I take it for myself to trust you. There is nothing unheard of. We always talk freely in our discussions. If you have any ideas, you can Straightforwardly,"
Man Chong hesitated and said, "Going back to the lord, Meng Degong treats his subordinates very well. It is really unjust for the subordinates to abandon it today. If the lord wants to discuss the attack on Luoyang, his subordinates should not participate."
Since coming to this hall, Liu Xin knew that he still felt a little guilty towards Cao Cao. From this point, it can be seen that Cao Cao is still very able to win people’s hearts, but Liu Xin believes that he still feels a little guilty towards Cao Cao. , As long as you treat others with sincerity, one day Full Pet will become heartbroken, so he nodded and said: "Bonin, you don’t have any worries, and you don’t need to make plans to capture Luoyang. In my opinion, it’s as easy as my analysis to You hear, the people in Luoyang City mainly come from two places. Some of them are people from the original Luoyang City. They were rescued by Dong Zhuo on the way to Chang'an. Some of these people moved to Yingchuan later, and some continued. After staying in Luoyang, Liu is very helpful to these people who originally lived in Luoyang. They are all interested in Liu, and some of the people are prisoners of Qingxu and yellow turbans placed by Cao Cao. These people may understand Towards Cao Cao, but they want to be able to return to their hometown one day."
Liu Xin paused and continued: "Dong Zhuo was devastated when he left Luoyang. Although it has been two years, local production has not recovered much. It is still difficult for the people to be self-sufficient. How can they support Cao Cao's army? Although Liu Xie has surrendered to Luoyang, he is not yet fully in the hands of Cao Cao. If Cao Cao wants to control Liu Xie, he must try to get rid of Wang Yun, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng. The best way is to move Liu Xie. To Chongzhou, so as long as my army puts on a posture to attack Luoyang, Cao Cao will definitely abandon Luoyang and leave."
After listening to Liu Xin’s analysis, Man Chong is still skeptical. Chen Gong has already said on the side: “The Lord’s words are reasonable. Now the focus of military strength should be in Luoyang, and suspected soldiers can be deployed at Xiaoguan. If Liangzhou counties take the initiative to come. If you refuse to surrender, it will not be too late to use troops after Luoyang is settled.
Liu Xin stood up, stroking her palms and said, "Liu was originally homecoming, but everyone hoped that Liu would stay in Chang'an for some time. Then Liu would not be too selfish. Just stay for a while, Gongming, you immediately Return to Hongnong, take away all the eight thousand cavalry here, prepare to attack Luoyang, the public platform, you go to Xiaoguan, help Yide to deploy suspicious soldiers, and then let Fan Chou return to Liangzhou, lobby the prefects of the counties, and make him come back on his own initiative. "
As Liu Xin expected, Cao Cao had already moved to abandon Luoyang. Of course there were the reasons Liu Xin analyzed, but there were also other factors.
When the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo, because Liu Xin killed him halfway, Dong Zhuo did not have time to burn Luoyang City in a fire. Even the palace only destroyed a corner. It was just a huge palace, empty inside, and the West Garden was full. The weeds, the water in the nude swimming pool and the Liuxiang Canal have long since dried up, and the hall is covered with dust,
In fact, after learning that Wang Yun was going to escort Liu Xie back to Luoyang, Cao Cao sent someone to clean the palace, but no one lived and no one took care of it normally. After a few days, the bleak scene resumed.
Seeing that the palace he lived in before, Liu Xie couldn't help crying. He was just an eleven-year-old child. This time he fled in a hurry, and there was no trusted servant around him, so he could live alone. In this palace, I was really scared, so he turned his head and said to Fu Wan: "Guo Zhang, I'd better live with your house today,"
In fact, Fu Wan didn’t live in Luoyang very often in the past, but as the husband of Princess Yang’an, he also had a very luxurious house in Luoyang City. He glanced at Liu Xie, and Fu Wan said coldly: The emperor, the Weichen’s house has been vacant for many years, and it is quite dark. I am afraid that it is not suitable for living, so let the emperor find another place."
After Fuwan's remarks are just excuses. After arriving in Luoyang, he has not yet returned to his house. He has no idea what his house is like. After Fuwan, he is now holding back the fire. He is loyal to Liu Xie in order to rush to Luoyang. Moving the rescuers, I would rather leave my family alone, but in the end, Liu Xie was just busy running away on his own, but abandoned his daughter, Empress Fushou, and didn’t know where his wife and daughter were now. Liu Xie is full of resentment now, if he hadn't taken into account his emperor's identity, he would have gone away long ago.
Wang Yun saw the atmosphere a little embarrassing on the side, and hurriedly folded his hands and said, "If the emperor is not satisfied with this place, it is better to stay at the old minister's house first, and it will not be too late to move back when the palace is repaired."
Liu Xie grew up in terror since he was a child. If it weren’t for the protection of the Queen Mother, he would have been poisoned by the He Lian brothers and sisters. Now let him live in the empty palace alone, he would not agree to kill him. Yes, and such trusted courtiers as Wang Yun did not dare to stay overnight in the palace, so letting Liu Xie live in Wang Yun’s house would be considered the best result.
Hearing Wang Yun's initiative to invite, Liu Xie was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "It is so good, the governor, Dong Aiqing, you will go with me, but it is a pity that General Yang has not heard from him. It would be better if he was with him."
In Liu Xie’s eyes, Wang Yun, Fu Wan, and Dong Cheng were just civil servants, and they were not enough to protect his safety. If Yang Feng, a general, was by his side, it would be perfect.
Wang Yun’s home was not far away. The group of people left the palace and turned two streets. Apart from a few of them, of course, they were escorted by soldiers left by Cao Cao, and some other officials who came to Luoyang with them, because With different status and status, it is not possible to stay with Liu Xie all the time like Wang Yun and others. Most of them were forcibly driven to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo back then. They are now safe for the time being and have returned to their respective homes.
As soon as he walked into the street, Wang Yun felt something was wrong. It used to be a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries lived. Ordinary people didn’t dare to approach it. However, the people who came in and out in the streets were all ragged, just like beggars. People, go further, and Wang Yun saw his door open.
