With Zhou Yi's 90 points of political attributes, serving as governor of a state in troubled times may not be enough, but being a prefect is more than enough.
Such high political talents are extremely valuable in any family, and a lot of resources will usually be invested in them to ensure that their career is as smooth as possible.
But Zhou Yi, who is nearly 30 years old, is now just a small Luoyang order. It can be seen that Zhou Yi's status in the Zhou family is definitely not high and he does not receive the family's resources.
Since Zhou Yi is Zhou Yu's father, wouldn't it mean that if you kidnap Zhou Yi, you will get Zhou Yu?
Thinking of this, Qin Hao was immediately excited.
But at this time, Zhou Yu seems to be still a ten-year-old young lady?
No matter what, he is Zhou Gongjin, how can he let him go if he encounters him?
Just think of it as Shota’s training.
Qin Hao had an evil thought in his heart, and he had already made a plan for Zhou Yu to develop a young master on his own initiative.
Zhou Yi's words did have an effect, making some of the abandoners looser, and Qin Wen also wavered a little.
Because what Zhou Yi said is indeed very reasonable. The defensive foundation here in Luoyang is simply not very good. It would be a pity to give up like this.
"When the imperial edict arrives, the governor Qin Wen receives it."
Just when Qin Wen was still considering whether to persist for a while, the envoy from Chang'an had already arrived in Luoyang with the imperial edict, and this time it was Zhao Zhong, one of the ten constant attendants.
Although Qin Wen was extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court's remote control method, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and lead everyone to receive the decree.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict. He ordered Qin Wen, the commander-in-chief, to abandon Luoyang quickly, lead an army of 200,000 to retreat to Hongnong, and defend Guanzhong with all his strength."
With this edict, everyone knew that there was no room for turning back, and Luoyang could only be ruthlessly abandoned.
Yang Gun collapsed on the ground, unable to accept this fact, while Zhou Yi also looked desperate.
Less than half of Luoyang's defense was arranged by Zhou Yi, and the people also initiated it.
Now that the big man wanted to give up on his own initiative, Zhou Yi didn't know how to explain it to the people of Luoyang. If he didn't know the explanation, he had no choice but not to explain it.
After Qin Wen's appointment was handed down, Zhao Zhong said again: "Order the champion Hou Qin Hao to lead an army of one hundred thousand to guard Yique Pass to prevent the Yellow Turbans from marching south to Jingzhou and apprehending this place."
All the generals present were very surprised when they heard this, and Qin Hao was also shocked because this step was the same as Guiguzi arranged.
Unknowingly, Guiguzi's shocking plan was already halfway through, and it was exactly what Guiguzi said.
Liu Hong actually asked me to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army. This is completely unreasonable. Teacher, how did you do it? Qin Hao thought secretly.
Although Qin Hao's current record is terrifying, he cannot be a commander just by having a record. To be the commander of an army requires qualifications.
Nowadays, people in Luoyang have more qualifications than Qin Hao. According to common sense, Qin Hao will be ranked no matter how high the ranking is.
But this job happened to fall on Qin Hao, so Qin Hao still didn't believe it when he said it wasn't Gui Guzi.
Master, I hope the next step will be as you predicted. Disciple, I have bet my life on you. Qin Hao thought secretly.
Zhao Zhong left immediately after announcing the decree. After all, the Yinxi Front in Henan is relatively safe now. If it were later and the cities on the western front were also captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be difficult for him to leave.
Qin Hao personally sent Zhao Zhong out of the city, and asked a lot of questions along the way, trying to understand what was affecting Liu Hong, but he still didn't understand anything.
"Master Zhao, I have a request that I hope you can convey to Your Majesty." Qin Hao said to Zhao Zhong.
"Prince-in-law, please speak."
"This is my first time commanding an army of 100,000 men. I am really frightened, so I want your Majesty to send me a deputy general."
"This is simple, who does the prince consort want?"
"Lord Lu Zhi."
Zhao Zhong's expression immediately changed, and when he saw no one around, he said, "Your Majesty, are you sure? Lu Zhi is covered in fishiness now, whoever gets it will be unlucky."
"I'm sure, with Mr. Lu Zhi here, I can absolutely control the army of 100,000 people, so I would like to ask Mr. Zhao to convey this to His Majesty. It doesn't matter if His Majesty does not agree."
"Okay." Zhao Zhong sighed. He had already said everything he needed to say. There was nothing he could do if Qin Hao didn't listen.
On the way back, Qin Hao felt filled with emotion when he looked at the people of Luoyang who were still busy at the top of the city and constantly strengthening their defenses.
What supports these people working so hard?
These people all joined the defense force because their family members were killed by the Yellow Turbans.
The people just wanted to vent their hatred, but they didn't know that the court had given up on them again, not even giving them a chance to take revenge.
Evacuation should be done sooner rather than later. After all, no one knows when all Henan provinces except Luoyang will be conquered.
Just when the 300,000-strong army was about to withdraw, someone revealed the news and let the lower-level soldiers know in advance. As a result, the whole army was in an uproar, and nearly 10,000 soldiers petitioned Qin Wen.
"Grand Governor, we can't withdraw."
"Yes, Luoyang is the capital of the country."
"We will defend Luoyang to the death."
These simple soldiers did not know that they had been exploited by someone and turned into political tools to deal with the Qin family and his son. They only knew that they should not give up Luoyang just like that.
The soldiers' commotion made a lot of noise, and eventually it reached the ears of the people. Soon the news that "the big men abandoned Luoyang" spread throughout the city like a virus, and the people of Luoyang were furious.
I don’t know which force secretly instigated it. Nearly 100,000 angry Luoyang people surrounded Qin Wen’s general palace, just to ask for an explanation. In the end, Qin Wen was forced to come forward to "refute the rumors."
With Qin Wen's repeated assurances, the people of Luoyang finally believed that the news was a rumor spread by the Yellow Turbans, just to prevent Luoyang from falling into chaos without a fight.
General's Mansion, Council Hall.
"What should we do now? Just say something." Qin Wen shouted with a very ugly face.
In fact, it is not surprising that Qin Wen would be like this. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that the people are undisciplined and unorganized, but this time the commotion was so loud. Apart from someone secretly instigating mobilization, there is no other possibility.
.
That is to say, Qin Wen's reputation among the people is pretty good, and the people are willing to believe in Qin Wen, so this time there was no disaster.
If it had been anyone else, a civil uprising might have occurred if there was a little instigation from some thoughtful people, and then the only way to suppress it would be by force.
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, but in their hearts they believed that this 'riot' was planned by the Yellow Turbans.
Finally, Xi Zhi stood up and said: "Lord, at this point, it is impossible to evacuate all of them. We must leave hope for the people of Luoyang."
Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What does the military advisor mean?"
