However, Wang Ding still gave the people a choice.
The people who were brought to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo and now want to return to Luoyang can follow them back to Luoyang this time.
Not surprisingly, even though they knew Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo, some people still want to go back.
However, most people still choose to stay in Chang'an.
Now that we have stabilized in Chang'an, we have land and a family, and if we return to Luoyang, we have to start all over again. If we don't really want to return to Luoyang, not many people are willing to go through this trouble again.
For those who are willing to return to Luoyang, Wang Ding will give them a free cow and sheep so that they can settle down in Luoyang faster.
Thanks to the Qiang people, Wang Ding now has no shortage of cattle.
Zhu Jun fled to Jingzhou, and Wang Ding stopped taking care of him.
Zhu Jun is no threat to him. They are all from the previous generation. In these troubled times, he can no longer compete with others.
When Zhu Jun went to Jingzhou, he could only rely on Liu Biao.
Liu Biao is now stuck in his ways, trapped in Jingzhou, and there is no threat.
A few days later, Duan Xuan came to Chang'an with his family.
Wang Ding had already prepared and handed the edict he took from Liu Xie to Duan Xuan.
Wang Ding hired General Fenwei for him, whose status was the same as that of Xu Rong, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.
Now more and more people are gathering around Wang Ding.
Wang Ding did not care about the affairs in the court. Regardless of Xu Rong or Duan Xuan, these generals are now headed by Wang Ding.
Wang Ding is not afraid that someone can shake things up.
If anyone dares to stir up trouble, Wang Ding can suppress them at any time.
When Duan Xuan arrived, Wang Ding specially set up a banquet and invited Duan Xuan, Xu Rong and others to the mansion.
It can be considered as a welcome to Duan Xuan and to support him.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Li Su and others sat on the left side of Wang Ding.
Jia Xu, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan and others are sitting on the right side.
It was not Wang Ding who arranged it intentionally, but after entering, they spontaneously sat down, and they were so distinct.
Wang Ding didn't care and invited Duan Xuan to drink.
Duan Xuan, who is new here, is the first time he has participated in such a banquet. It is completely different from before. Everyone is sitting at the same big table.
However, it is indeed more convenient and you can speak more casually. You don’t need to be loud and everyone at the table can see you.
And when talking, there is no need to stand up specially, everyone is very casual.
Wang Ding likes this kind of atmosphere. He has also participated in banquets hosted by Wang Yun before, but they were too heavy and inconvenient for communication.
We are all our own people, so feel free to sit at the same table and eat at the same table, and everyone can rest assured.
It was Duan Xuan's first time to participate. He was originally worried, but after a few drinks, he quickly let go and began to compete with the dishes on the table.
Even Zhang Liao and others who have eaten here many times still feel that the dishes in Wang Ding Mansion are more delicious.
Whether it’s cooking techniques, taste, or visuals, it’s all a pleasure.
The cooks in their families don’t have this ability.
Wang Ding's cooking skills are not good, but he likes to eat stir-fried vegetables and fried food.
I was out on the march and had no conditions. I could only eat a pot of stew with a little salt added at most.
But at home, Wang Ding cannot owe his stomach anything.
No matter how delicious it is, let the cook do it.
He just gives a hint and tells the cook how to cook it and what seasonings can be added.
Every time Zhang Liao came to Wang Ding's house, he would always eat until he was full before putting down his chopsticks.
Wang Ding's banquet is a simple banquet. Everyone eats and drinks together and only talks about private matters, not official matters.
After everyone dispersed in a drunken state, the maids in the mansion began to clean up. Diao Chan came to Wang Ding with a bowl of ginger soup.
Now the youngest member of the Wang family, Wang Ding, is the one who calls the shots.
Wang Yun locked himself in his room every day. If Wang Gai and Wang Jing had anything to do, they would come to ask Wang Ding first.
No one dares to talk nonsense about anything Wang Ding does at home.
Wang Ding waved: "I'm fine."
He doesn't like ginger soup.
Diao Chan handed the ginger soup in her hand to the maid beside her and said: "I am here to serve you."
Wang Ding said: "I don't want to sleep yet, let's go sit in the pavilion."
Wang Ding pushed the maid away, and the two of them were in the peony pavilion, leaning on each other.
"Diao Chan, in this troubled world, can I survive to the end?" Wang Ding said suddenly.
Wang Ding drank a little too much tonight, thinking that as he has more and more people under his command, his responsibilities are also getting bigger and bigger.
Can he defeat Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, these heroes?
Relying on that little knowledge alone, Wang Ding really has no confidence.
Even if he vigorously develops agriculture, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will soon be able to keep up. The gap will not widen.
Diao Chan consoled her: "My husband is the most powerful hero in the world."
Regardless of Wang Ding's current age, just listing the things he has done, who would have thought that these were all done by a boy less than twenty.
It's just that the longer he lives in this era and the more people he comes into contact with, the lower Wang Ding's confidence becomes.
If it were him now, he might not dare to go directly to Lu Bu like he did back then.
At that time, Wang Ding still had some pride in his heart. He felt that he was familiar with this era and could be superior to others. He could fool Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo around and sold them, and they were still counting their money.
But now, Wang Ding no longer has such thoughts.
When it comes to making plans, he is not as good as Jia Xu.
In marching and fighting, he is not as good as Zhang Liao.
He is not as good as Gao Shun in training soldiers.
He just said a few words to Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu brought out the waterwheel.
It seems that everyone under his command is better than Wang Ding.
Normally, Wang Ding would not have these thoughts.
Tonight, perhaps under the stimulation of alcohol, Wang Ding became confused and no longer confident.
Diao Chan didn't know what Wang Ding was thinking, but she just hugged Wang Ding gently at this moment and whispered: "In my mind and body, my husband is an unparalleled hero. It is my great fortune to be able to be husband and wife with him.
I wish to live and die with my husband."
Wang Ding whispered: "Okay, we will live and die together, and we will never be separated forever."
Looking at Diao Chan's peerless appearance, Wang Ding suddenly felt that he was too greedy.
With a face that would captivate a country, being by his side right now doesn’t mean that he owns a country.
Life is like this, what else can’t be satisfied?
Wang Ding hugged Diao Chan and muttered: "I will kill Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. In this life, I will make you the empress of the world."
Diao Chan only thought that Wang Ding was drunk and talking nonsense, but her heart had already melted.
Is there any man in the world who dares to say that he wants his wife to become the queen of the world?
"I am really happy to be my husband's wife." Diao Chan's red and soft lips lightly pressed on Wang Ding's face.
Wang Ding leaned against Diao Chan in a daze and returned to the room.
When I woke up the next day, I had forgotten what I said last night.
