Chapter 388: Emperor Han is gone
"Father, can this happen? Then Lu Bu has been following Jia Rong for a long time." Diao Chan asked softly.
"It is impossible to make this person rebel against Jia Rong, but just now I saw the greed he showed towards you, but I could use it, but it would make you suffer."
Diao Chan Yingying bowed: "Diao Chan will never complain if she can share her worries with her father."
After the three counties including Dunhuang were decided, Jia Rong stayed to plan the horse farm. Two of his beloved wives in his family were pregnant. Jia Rong also wanted to go back to visit him as soon as possible, but the horse farm matter was of great importance and had to be careful.
With more than 10,000 Xiliang Army stationed, people with strange intentions quietly put aside their thoughts. The Western Liang Army's bright iron cavalry, with swords and guns, are not for viewing. Coupled with the Western Liang Army's policies, the Di people and Qiang people and the original Han people returned to tranquility, strengthened the army and made the simple people think about how to farm the fields well, or find a job in the county to support their families.
The Hexi Corridor is flat and the water is abundant and the grass is abundant. At the price offered by Jia Rong, a group of good horses were easily recruited. The personal guards under their command were not idle. In addition to eliminating the surrounding robbers, they learned to raise horses with herders. In Jia Rong's words, a soldier must not only be able to ride on war horses, but also know how to communicate with horses and how to make the war horses play their maximum combat power. Jia Rong himself joined the ranks of learning, which aroused the personal guards' enthusiasm for learning. In his spare time, he discussed the skills of raising horses with each other, and the enthusiasm for learning in the army was high.
Jia Rong entrusted all the matters in Chang'an to Jia Xu, Zhang Li and Zhang Zhao. Those who are capable should work hard. Anyway, the current Xiliang army is just resting and recuperating. Liangzhou has a weak foundation and is not as good as the princes of the Central Plains.
Before leaving, he had a long talk with Zhang Liao until midnight. The public security of these three counties resisted the attacks of foreign races, and Jia Rong handed over to him.
In late autumn, a carriage slowly walked on the official road surrounded by cavalry. The official road was disrepaired and the carriage kept shaking. The driver was also cautious, for fear of waking up the person in the car.
"General, the emperor has left Chang'an!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly brought a soldier to the carriage where Jia Rong was, and whispered through the curtain.
"What?" Jia Rong jumped up and knocked his head heavily on the top of the carriage. "You say it again."
"General, the emperor left Chang'an three days ago."
After a glance at the tired cavalry, he must have come from Chang'an day and night. Jia Rong waved his hand to signal him to leave. Emperor Han left Chang'an, and the best card in his hand was drawn away. Jia Rong felt very heavy, "Speed up and rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible!"
Jia Rong walked out of the carriage, rode a war horse, and rode his horse towards Chang'an.
Chang'an implemented a curfew, and anyone who did not stay at home during the specified time was invited to the prefect's house for a drink, and everyone was in danger.
Even ordinary people felt a sense of oppression. The teams of soldiers in armor and the bright swords and guns made people feel trembling, and the inspection at the city gates became more strict. However, the people were not afraid of the army in the city. Under the rule of the Xiliang Army, as long as they were at ease to be a commoner, no soldiers would come to you. When you encounter difficulties, they would help you.
With a "bang", Jia Xu could no longer help but feel angry and slapped the documents on the table. The guards outside the door hurried inside.
Jia Xu, whose face was a little distorted due to anger, said coldly: "Order Jiang Yu, Ma Teng, lead his troops to surround Lu Bu's army, pay close attention to the people on this list, but if there is any abnormal movement, you don't need to report it, just kill it!"
"No!" The guard couldn't understand that Jia Xu, who had always been calm and steady, would react like this.
"The Emperor of Han could not bear the mercy of Jia Rong and left Chang'an!" This news disappeared under the control of the aristocratic families in the city.
After not worrying about food and clothing, the people naturally have a lot of free time. In the streets and alleys, people gathered together in groups to talk carefully, but the people just used it as a topic after cooking, but they did not have enough awe of the one in the palace.
At the same time, on the second floor of the Hero Building in the city, by the window, looked at the soldiers on the street with a hurry, and took the wine cup leisurely and said with a smile: "Now the Xiliang army is in trouble. It has lost the Han Emperor, and the justice of the Xiliang army has been taken off."
"Hahaha, the Xiliang Army is doing its wrongdoing, and it is unhappy to retaliate." She was dressed in Confucian scholar uniform, about twenty-four or five years old.
"In Chang'an, people who said that the Xiliang Army were not, be careful of being tied up by the people to meet the officials."
The young Confucian scholar looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place, so he felt relieved.
"Fengxiao, this time the Han Emperor left Chang'an, are you going to leave too?" A playful look flashed on the young Confucian scholar's face.
The two of them rushed to Chang'an from Yingchuan. Chen Qun had no good impression of Jia Rong. If Guo Jia had not been persuaded with great sincerity, he would definitely not have come.
"Did I tell you that I came to Chang'an to meet the Emperor of Han?" Guo Jia asked back.
Chen Qun said in surprise: "Why is that?"
"Hmph, it is an unwise move for Emperor Han to leave Chang'an. Let's see, Jia Rong will take this opportunity to rectify Chang'an." Guo Jia answered the question terrible.
"Now we will go to the city to recruit talents first and get a job with just one official position. With your talent, you can be appointed as the dictator of a county with a little assessment. I will follow you at that time, and you will have a good wine and good food every day, hahaha."
Chen Qun said helplessly: "You have caused me this time." He thought Guo Jia came to Chang'an to get a job in front of the Emperor of Han, but unexpectedly, he came to surrender to the Xiliang Army.
The soldiers of Lu Bu's army looked at the densely packed soldiers of the Xiliang army outside the camp in disbelief.
"General Jiang, we are both the Xiliang Army, why do we surround our troops?" Lu Bu's deputy general Zhang Hengyiran asked without fear.
"General Zhang, I have also received the order from the military advisor. Let's wait for the order of the military advisor to decide." Although Jiang Yu was surprised by Jia Xu's order, he still implemented it without fail.
The soldiers under their command did not have the awareness of fighting and were chatting with each other.
A cavalry rushed to Jiang Yu and said for a while.
"Let the entire army be on guard!" Jiang Yu said in a low voice.
Jiang Yu's troops, who were still laughing, turned their swords and guns at the soldiers of Lu Bu's army in a blink of an eye.
"Brother, stop making trouble!" a soldier said to the soldiers of Jiang Yu's army.
No one responded, only the sound of the war horses, and all the soldiers looked solemn.
Even though Zhang Heng was stupid, he realized that things had changed and ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot.
Ten thousand garrisons in the city moved, and soldiers were guarded by each city gate, street, and some aristocratic families. This is the scene after Jia Rong returned to Chang'an.
"Have Lü Bu ever returned?"
"Lord, you haven't returned yet. According to the spy's reward, you are already on the way!" Jia Xu knelt down on the ground, "Lord, everything is a humble duty. Please punish me!"
In the general's mansion, Jia Rong looked gloomy and said nothing, thinking about what he should do after Lu Bu came back.
Jia Xu knelt on the ground, and a trace of cold sweat burst out from behind.
"Wenhe, get up, you have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!" Jia Xu, who was about to get up, heard Jia Rong's words and fell to the ground again.
"But the aftermath is done well. The crime of death can be avoided. There are abnormal people in the city. You must investigate clearly and not disturb the people. The Emperor of Han left. Pay attention to staring at the restless people in the city and take the opportunity to completely stabilize Chang'an." Jia Rong looked at Jia Xu who was kneeling at his feet and said slowly: "As for how to punish you, I will talk about it later."
Jia Xu bowed and said, "Thank you for forgiveness by lord!"
Jia Rong waved his hand and signaled Jia Xu to go and do business quickly.
The Han Emperor left Luoyang, but the officials were still in Chang'an. These people were a restless factor in Chang'an and could break out at any time. Instead of doing so, it would be better to return them to the Han Emperor and gain a good reputation. However, the most important thing at the moment is to restore a stable Chang'an city. People were panic, not the situation that Jia Rong wanted to see.
In a short period of time, the Western Liang army occupied the land of Liangzhou, and an absorption process was required.
But how did Lu Bu deal with it? This girl is quite honest in her daily life. The first mistake made Jia Rong a little difficult to deal with. In Jia Rong's opinion, this matter was a trivial matter, but in fact it was not. If Lu Bu is forgiven, what should the generals under her command do in the future? This cannot be opened.
"General Lu, I have something to do, so I will take the lead. After the general returns to Chang'an, he reports this to Lord Jia." Wang Yun said with his fists.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "It's okay, Lord Situ is loyal, what can I do?" Lu Bu thought Wang Yun was worried that Jia Xu would cause trouble after returning to Chang'an.
Wang Yun bowed and said, "In this way, I will be bothering the general!"
"Let's go!" Wang Yun shouted loudly, and the groom raised the whip in his hand and left Hangu Pass.
As he approached Chang'an, Lu Bu received some rumors, "The Emperor of Han left Chang'an". Lu Bu smiled unanimously. Under the strict guard of the Western Liang army, a sparrow might not be able to fly out.
As soon as he entered the city gate, hundreds of soldiers surrounded Lu Bu.
Looking at the crossbow pointing at his remote point, Lu Bu was surprised. The city was still filled with the banner of the Western Liang Army. Why did these soldiers treat him like this? Could it be that there were officials from aristocratic families taking advantage of this to make trouble, with a gloomy face, and Fang Tian’s painting halberd had already been in his hands.
"Bold, this is General Lu Bulu of the Western Liang Army. Why don't you put down your weapons quickly?" a soldier scolded.
"General Lu, do you know the crime?" A general walked out of the soldier. It was Guo Si.
"General Guo, what do you mean?" Lu Bu said angrily.
Guo Si was Jia Rong's sworn brother, and his status in the Western Liang army was transcendent. Even though Lu Bu and Jia Rong were known as brothers, they did not have a friend of eight worships.
"What's the point? Isn't it enough for General Lu to let Emperor Han go?" Guo Si said in a gloomy tone.
"Let the Emperor of Han go?" Lu Bu said in surprise: "General Guo should not talk nonsense. I just came back from Hangu Pass, how could I let the Emperor of Han go?"
"General Lu, he still wants to deny it when the matter is about to come. Emperor Han escaped from Hangu Pass five days ago. It was the carriage that General Lu personally escorted."
No matter how stupid Lu Bu was, he understood the cause and effect of the matter. He was deceived by Wang Yun. Not only Wang Yun, Diao Chan, but also Emperor Han, who went out of the city to visit friends was all nonsense. The Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand also hung down weakly. As a general of the Western Liang army, he understood the consequences of this incident.
