"Not bad!" Luo Yang sighed and said: "Although Cao Cao has few soldiers, he has many powerful generals, and Xun Wenruo and Xun Gongda help him! If Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao were equally matched, nothing would happen, but now Gongsun Zan's
Baima Yicong actually crossed the Yellow River easily, I'm afraid there is some fraud involved!"
"Uh!" Guo Jia also fell silent. He and Xun Yu have been classmates for many years. He has known them for many years, so he naturally understands the power of Xun Yu and Xun You. Indeed, as Luo Yang said, there are two of them assisting Cao Cao.
Cao Cao really shouldn't be beaten as passively as he is now! Guo Jia immediately studied the map carefully. No matter how smart Guo Jia was, he couldn't understand every situation. He could analyze Xun's situation with just a battle report.
Yu and Xun You’s plan.
"Okay!" Luo Yang saw Guo Jia's frowning face and persuaded him: "Let's put this matter aside for now! Originally, I didn't have any hope that Gongsun Zan could eliminate Cao Cao! I contacted Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian before, but
I hope they can help us hold off Cao Cao and Sun Jian! Now that we have successfully entered the pass, at least my goal has been achieved! Next, let’s wait and see what happens! Brother Han Sheng! Since the emperor has appointed Zilong as Huben
Zhonglang, then let Zilong take over all the city defenses of Chang'an City! Remember, this is very important and you must not leave it to others!"
Now that Chang'an City has belonged to Luo Yang, Luo Yang's current identity has completely changed. From a local overlord, he has become a powerful minister with great power. Since he wants to be a powerful minister, the emperor must be in his own hands! As for those
Princes and ministers, Luo Yang has never trusted them, so we must be on guard against them!
Even though Huang Zhongdang accepted the order, at the same time, Luo Yang turned to Guo Jia and said: "Feng Xiao, now that we have taken control of Chang'an, then we should move the focus of the garrison to Chang'an! Please help me write a letter
Send them to Chengdu and Xiangyang, and ask Zhicai to allocate more manpower to come together! Yongzhou and Liangzhou are in a mess caused by Dong Zhuo, and it will take a lot of effort to control them!" Chang'an has been captured!
, but Luo Yang could not follow Cao Cao's example in history and directly plunder the Han Emperor to Chengdu. This would only greatly reduce Luo Yang's newly improved reputation, and would also allow those princes and ministers to find excuses to accuse him! So what Luo Yang wants to do next
The first thing he did was to make Yongzhou his own territory. This could not be accomplished by just relying on the generals around him. A large number of grassroots officials had to be transferred from Yizhou and Jingzhou.
Guo Jia also nodded and agreed, and then Guo Jia suddenly said: "My lord! Now that Yongzhou belongs to the lord, what about Hangu Pass?" What Guo Jia was referring to was the one that Xu Rong had beaten before.
Hangu Pass was destroyed by fire. It was precisely because of this that Luo Yang had to clear the passage, so Xu Rong was allowed to run smoothly to Weinan City.
"Well!" Regarding this point, Luo Yang had already made a plan early on, nodded and said: "This Hangu Pass is a rare dangerous pass in the world. It would be a pity to give up here! Let Gao Shun do this.
Lead his trapped camp to Hangu Pass, and then send him manpower to repair Hangu Pass! With Gao Shun's skills and the power of the trapped camp, there should be no problem in guarding Hangu Pass!" Gao Shun
His ability was obvious to all in the battle in Weinan. It was only appropriate for Luo Yang to choose Gao Shun and his trapped camp to guard Hangu Pass!
After discussing some important measures, Guo Jia suddenly asked Luo Yang: "My lord! What do you think of the emperor's reward for me today?"
When mentioning today's reward, Luo Yang immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Oh! I didn't know that the emperor would actually make me a general! If I had known about it at that time, I would definitely not have accepted the imperial edict like this.
Yes! Doesn’t this mean I’m roasting myself on the fire?”
Previously, because Luo Yang could not understand the verbose words in the imperial edict, he muddle-headedly misunderstood what happened next. Huang Zhong and Guo Jia also heard what Luo Yang said. Now that they saw Luo Yang's miserable face, they both burst into laughter. Huang Zhong was a human being.
It was okay to be calm, he just smiled, but Guo Jia burst out laughing and said: "I don't even know what the imperial edict is, so I am just confused. I'm afraid my lord will be the first one to follow."
! Whether it is unprecedented or not, I don’t know, but this is unprecedented, that’s for sure!”
When Guo Jia smiled like this, Luo Yang's face immediately turned the color of pig liver. He was full of anger but had nowhere to vent. In the end, he simply snorted secretly: "I have become a powerful minister! I might as well be the next one."
Order! From now on, all imperial edicts are not allowed to be used! Damn it! Don’t make such a joke again in the future!"
This smile has passed, and the topic has returned to the question Guo Jia asked Luo Yang earlier. Luo Yang pondered for a moment, but sighed: "I also understand what Fengxiao means! This time the emperor showed me such kindness, first of all
They want to win me over, but secondly, they want to push me against the ministers! The emperor's mental skills! I didn't expect that the emperor, at such a young age, could use the emperor's mental skills so well! I think, even without us.
, Dong Zhuo will inevitably die at the hands of the emperor in a few years!"
Guo Jia nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that such a smart emperor was born at the wrong time! In these troubled times, and the emperor has no corresponding power, no matter how brilliant his methods are,
There is definitely no room for performance! What a pity!”
"Anyway, the emperor's move can be considered a success! Just now at the city gate, I felt a lot of unkind eyes! I'm afraid there are already many people cursing me in their hearts! Maybe there are many more people
They are secretly thinking about how to plot against me!" Luo Yang said and sighed. He originally thought that after taking Chang'an, he would be more relaxed, but now it seems that this matter is becoming more and more troublesome. Now I think
I think it was a good thing that Guo Jia used a little trick to prevent him from taking the emperor to Jingzhou!
Huang Zhong couldn't get in the conversation before, but now that he heard Luo Yang's words, Huang Zhong stood up immediately and hummed: "Lord! Don't worry! The general is here, let's see who dares to take advantage of the lord.
!I will have to twist off their heads one by one!"
Luo Yang also knew Huang Zhong's loyalty, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Brother Han Sheng, don't worry! How can I be at the mercy of others? Huh! There are so many people in the world who want to kill me, and I
Aren't you living well in Nian? I want to see what tricks they can use, and I hope they don't disappoint me too much!"
Seeing how confident Luo Yang was, Huang Zhong and Guo Jia also laughed at the same time. Nothing happened next, so they simply stood up and left to carry out what Luo Yang had just ordered them to do.
In another corner of Chang'an City, a group of princes and ministers gathered together, also discussing Luo Yang's acceptance of the post of general!
"Don't think about it anymore! This Luo Yang must be the same type of person as Thief Dong! They are all thieves who steal the country!" An official stood up and raised his arms and shouted to the people around him. This person was Zhongshao, the court's Yilang.
Speaking of this kind of Shao, he was also a descendant of the famous Zhong family in Luoyang at that time. His ancestor Zhongsong once served as a great agriculture minister, and his father Zhongdai was also Taichang in the dynasty and could be said to be famous. However, because of Dong Zhuo,
The family had no choice but to move to Chang'an, which greatly reduced the strength of the Zhong family. However, the Zhong family's influence in the court was not small. The phrase "Zhong Shao" aroused the approval of many people.
"What Brother Shen Fu said is true!" Another official sitting not far from Zhongshao also stood up and said: "Luo Yang is just a boy from a poor family. How virtuous and capable is he to be able to assume the position of a general?
?The emperor's kindness does not mean that he is qualified to accept it! I think this person is really ambitious! Sooner or later he will become a big trouble!"
This person was none other than Liu Fan, the eldest son of the former Yizhou Governor Liu Yan. Liu Yan had four sons. At that time, Liu Yan was ordered to be the Yizhou Governor. According to the rules of the court, he was not allowed to bring his children to Yizhou to take office.
Yes! It was just that Liu Yan's third son, Liu Mao, was in poor health, so Liu Yan asked the court to make an exception and took Liu Mao to Yizhou, while the other three sons stayed in the court. This Liu Fan can be regarded as
A clan member of the Han Dynasty, in terms of seniority, is still the emperor's uncle. Although Liu Yan lost power in Yizhou, Liu Fan became more and more powerful. Now he has taken up the post of Zuo Zhonglang, which can be regarded as a lucrative position in the court.
Got it!
Four years ago, Yizhou under Liu Yan's jurisdiction was captured. It was rumored that both Liu Yan and Liu Mao had died at the hands of Luo Yang. Liu Fan had always hated Luo Yang in his heart. However, it was he who convened this gathering of courtiers.
Now it doesn’t matter whether Zhong Shao’s words are true or not, anyway, he is obsessed with rebelling against Luo Yang, and he wishes all the courtiers in the court could stand up and deal with Luo Yang!
Seeing Zhong Shao and Liu Fan getting up, some other courtiers stood up and accused Luo Yang of his crimes. In the end, they even said that Luo Yang was Dong Zhuo's accomplice!
It's just that the two of them were talking a lot, but none of them could say anything substantive. This made Liu Fan, the organizer of this gathering, a little anxious. Immediately, Liu Fan made a slight gesture to everyone.
The quiet gesture stopped the noise of the crowd, and then he said loudly: "Masters! This Luoyang is undoubtedly a serious problem for the Han Dynasty! So, do you have any clever ideas to clear the emperor and return the world to my great Han Dynasty?"
"This..." As soon as he said this, all the courtiers who had been filled with indignation just now became silent, and no one was willing to stand up and say the last sentence. Seeing this, Liu Fan was so anxious that he almost
He didn't jump up and yell! But Liu Fan also knew that each of these courtiers was more timid than the other, but they were not something he could offend. He could only look at these courtiers with a wry smile. Suddenly, Liu Fan's eyes lit up.
Staring at one of them closely, he said, "Master Zhu! What are your plans?"
