Originally, the princes and ministers thought that Luo Yang would refuse to accept Liu Xie's offer of such an important position from the beginning, but they did not expect that Luo Yang would accept the imperial edict without saying a word. Now
But there were many people with ugly faces, including Yang Biao and Wang Yun!
Yang Biao stared at Luo Yang with his eyes and hummed: "This Luo Yang! He actually took over the position of general like this. It seems that he is not much different from that Dong thief! Senior brother Zi! We will need more help from now on."
Be careful to guard against this person!"
Wang Yun also nodded and agreed. At the same time, a cold light flashed secretly in his eyes, but he was calmer than Yang Biao. He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said to Yang Biao: "Brother Wen
, there’s no need to make a conclusion in such a hurry, I think it’s better to take a look at the situation first! Besides, even if Luo Yang really has any evil intentions, we can’t do anything about him now, so we should consider everything in the long term!”
"Huh!" Although Yang Biao was unwilling to give up, he also knew that what Wang Yun said was correct, so he could only give up with a cold snort.
Regardless of everyone's reaction, Liu Xie's rewards to Luo Yang were far more than that, including the return of Jingzhou and Yizhou that originally belonged to Luo Yang. First, Huang Zhong's position as Jingzhou governor remained unchanged, and Liu Pi was appointed as a benefit.
The governor of the state, Gong Du was the prefect of Hanzhong. From this arrangement alone, it can be seen that Liu Xie had a thorough understanding of the situation under Luo Yang, and knew that although Liu Pi and Gong Du were not very capable, they
But he is Luo Yang's most loyal subordinate.
Finally, all of Luo Yang's subordinates were promoted and placed in important positions in the court. This made everyone in the court even more envious of Luo Yang. This was equivalent to the emperor taking the initiative to hand over the power to Luo Yang.
, I’m afraid this kind of trust has never existed before in all dynasties!
After reading out the reward to Luo Yang, such a grand welcoming ceremony was declared over. Surrounded by the princes and ministers, the emperor Liu Xie returned to the palace in the city. Luo Yang himself brought
He led his troops and horses directly into the military camp in the city. Although Luo Yang was already a high-ranking general, there was no general's palace built in the city. Originally, according to Liu Xie's intention, the Grand Master's Palace left by Dong Zhuo was given directly to Luo Yang.
As the palace of the general, you need to know that this palace was Dong Zhuo's residence when he became powerful. The decoration inside is extremely luxurious, even compared to the palace, it is not inferior at all! However, Luo Yang did not accept Liu Xie's kindness. Of course, external
The excuse was that it was the residence of a national traitor, and it was quite inappropriate for Luo Yang to live there, so Luo Yang simply lived in the military camp. Anyway, Luo Yang was a general who marched and fought, so there was nothing he was not used to in this military camp.
Of course, Luo Yang's refusal to move into the Grand Master's Mansion would not be due to some illusory reason. The real reason was that Luo Yang had many important matters and needed to discuss them with his subordinates. This Chang'an city is no better than Luo Yang's base camp, Xiangyang.
Like Chengdu, there are many people talking, so the safest place in Chang'an City is this military camp!
After placing the troops and horses properly, Luo Yang immediately summoned Guo Jia and Huang Zhong to his camp to discuss. As soon as they entered the camp, Huang Zhong clasped his fists at Luo Yang and said, "My lord! That Wang Kuang's troops and horses are not good enough?"
He was willing to enter the city, but just set up camp outside the city! Moreover, when he was about to enter the city, Wang Kuang came here to resign, saying that Niu Fu had fled to Bingzhou with the remaining soldiers of Xiliang, and he needed to return to Hanoi immediately to set up defenses!
However, the general did not ask the lord for instructions, so he did not agree and just asked him to wait outside the city for some time!"
"Wang Kuang?" Luo Yang chuckled, then turned to look at Guo Jia, and asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, in your opinion, what does Wang Kuang want to do?"
At this moment, Guo Jia had already taken off the official suit that was extremely inconvenient to wear. The serious look he had in front of Liu Xie before was gone. Hearing Luo Yang's question, Guo Jia didn't even think about it.
He said with a smile: "No need to ask, then Wang Kuang saw that the lord had established a foothold in Chang'an, and was afraid that the lord would harm him, so he ran away in such a hurry!"
"Hahahaha! I think that's the case!" What Guo Jia said was the same as Luo Yang's guess. Luo Yang couldn't help but laugh up to the sky and said: "I really judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! With my ability,
If you want to deal with him, when can you not do it? Why delay until now? People like him are not worth my effort to deal with!"
Guo Jia also nodded and said: "According to this, the expert who previously advised Wang Kuang should no longer be with Wang Kuang. Otherwise, he would not have been able to see the key point! Without the help of that expert, this Wang Kuang
Kuang is just a city man at best, not a great person! My Lord, you can let him go and let him go to Bingzhou to fight Niu Fu to the death!"
"Speaking of Niu Fu, brother Han Sheng, how is Niu Fu's situation in Bingzhou now?" Speaking of Bingzhou, Luo Yang has not forgotten Niu Fu who escaped from Liangzhou. Now he is probably the only real threat to Dong Zhuo's remaining party.
Yes! Anyway, he still has tens of thousands of Xiliang troops under his command!
Huang Zhong nodded and said in a deep voice: "The news came three days ago that Niu Fu has occupied Shangdang, and under the banner of Dong Zhuo, he has summoned many of Dong Zhuo's old troops, with approximately 30,000 men under his command!
Recently, it seems that they are preparing to move towards Jinyang, and it seems that they want to capture Bingzhou in one fell swoop so that they can regain their strength!"
"Hmph! The defeated general! Nothing to be afraid of!" Guo Jia sneered. In his opinion, once Dong Zhuo died, the strength of the Xiliang army would be exhausted, let alone Niu Fu, even if Lu Bu and Xu Rong were still alive.
, it may not be possible to pull the Xiliang army back!
However, Luo Yang did not take it lightly. He frowned and said, "Don't be careless! Brother Han Sheng, has the body of Dong Zhuo's youngest son-in-law Li Ru been found?"
The military report sent by Wenpin before did indeed state that Li Ru had been killed, but for some reason, Luo Yang always felt a little uneasy. You must know that Li Ru's reputation in history is not inferior to that of Jia Xu.
Luo Yang still doesn't believe that this man could be killed so easily! But when Wenpin invaded Chang'an City, Chang'an City was already in chaos. Wenpin just sent a small team of troops to massacre Dong Zhuo's cronies at their homes, including
Including Li Ru's residence, the news from his subordinates said that Li Ru's house had been slaughtered, but in the end no one could get Li Ru's body!
Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "According to the order of the lord, the general has already sent a message to Zhongye, but just now the general and Zhongye met, but Zhongye replied that Li Ru's body has not been found yet.
!It is said that there were too many dead people in Chang'an City that day, so several princes and ministers advised the emperor to burn the corpses of Dong Zhuo's party members, including the corpses of Li Ru's residence. Now there is no hope of finding them.
!”
"Tsk!" Hearing what Huang Zhong said, Luo Yang became more and more worried, but Guo Jia comforted him: "Don't worry, my lord! Even if Li Ru is still alive, how much trouble can he cause if he is left alone?
Hua? What’s more, as Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law, everyone is shouting and beating him now. Even if he survives by chance, I’m afraid he will have to shrink his head for the rest of his life!”
"I hope so!" Guo Jia said so, and Luo Yang couldn't pursue it any further. After all, although Li Ru had given Dong Zhuo a lot of ideas over the years, he usually acted in a very low-key manner. In the eyes of everyone, Li Ru also
He was only able to rise to power because of his status as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law. And besides Luo Yang, how could anyone else know about Li Ru's abilities? Even if Luo Yang said it, he couldn't justify it. He couldn't claim that he came from later generations.
Tell me the big secret?
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Luo Yang asked again about the war between Yanzhou and Yangzhou. This time Luo Yang formed an alliance to challenge Dong. The battlefield was not just Luoyang's side, but also Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao, Tao Qian and Sun Jian!
Although the eldest Dong Zhuo has been eliminated by Luo Yang, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are not fuel-efficient lamps, and we don't know what will happen to Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian.
Coincidentally, just when Luo Yang, Huang Zhong and Guo Jia were discussing this matter, a shout suddenly came from outside the camp, and a sergeant quickly ran to the door of the camp and faced Luo Yang and the other three.
The man knelt down, cupped his fists and shouted: "Report! Report to the lord! Report on the Yanzhou battle!"
"Yanzhou?" Luo Yang stood up immediately and shouted directly to the sergeant outside the camp: "Quick! Bring it to me!"
Naturally, the sergeant couldn't just send the battle report to Luo Yang. Li Gui, who was guarding the door of the camp, quickly took the battle report from the sergeant, walked into the camp quickly, and handed it to Luo Yang. Luo Yang also hurriedly handed it over to Luo Yang.
When he opened the car and took a look, Luo Yang's face tightened, and his face immediately showed a bit of sadness.
"Lord! But Gongsun Zan suffered a defeat?" Seeing Luo Yang's expression, Huang Zhong and Guo Jia were shocked. Logically speaking, Cao Cao's troops had been defeated by Guo Jia in the battle at Chenliu.
He was crippled, and Gongsun Zan had such a powerful killer as Baima Yicong, so he should be absolutely sure of dealing with Cao Cao!
"No! On the contrary, according to the battle report, Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi Cong has crossed the Yellow River from Puyang and is now heading towards Dongjun, Cao Cao's base camp!" Luo Yang shook his head, but handed the battle report in his hand.
He saw Huang Zhong and Guo Jia, but the expression on his face became more and more complicated.
What Luo Yang said made Huang Zhong and Guo Jia a little confused. Gongsun Zan was Luo Yang's ally, and Cao Cao was Luo Yang's enemy. Since Gongsun Zan had the advantage, why did Luo Yang look unhappy?
Among the two, Guo Jia was the smartest. After reading the battle report, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly ran to the map on the other side of the camp to study it carefully, and suddenly shouted: "Lord! Could it be that you are worried?
