It can be said that Yuan Shao went to Hangu Pass and took away almost all the people in Chang'an City. Among the people who stayed, in terms of prestige and qualifications, there was no one who could rival Lu Zhi.
People come.
After Fuwan looked at Lu Zhi sitting there, and then at the crowds of people in the hall who were as panicked as headless flies, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stepped forward and saluted Lu Zhi, and said: "Mr. Lu, we are in great danger now.
At the end of the day, where should I go? I would like to ask Mr. Lu to give us some guidance."
Everyone present looked at Lu Zhi with great expectations. Lu Zhi's qualifications were too strong, especially his ability to command troops. In everyone's opinion, if Lu Zhi was willing to stand up, coupled with their strength,
If you gather hundreds of thousands of troops and come out, you may not be able to talk to Chu Yi.
Of course, they have never thought about defeating Chu Yi with the few people they have. After all, they have learned the lessons of Hangu Pass, but no one would think that they can defeat Chu Yi just by relying on a large number of people.
If Chu Yi is offended, who can guarantee whether Chu Yi will repeat the Hangu Pass incident in Chang'an City. If that time comes, how can manpower resist with the power of heaven and earth?
In the final analysis, they just hope to have a certain degree of confidence when facing Chu Yi, otherwise, they will really have to let Chu Yi manipulate them.
Who made them stand up too early and spare no effort to support Yuan Shao? They were almost branded with the Yuan family. Yuan Shao was killed by Chu Yi. There was no guarantee that Chu Yi would not cause trouble for them.
Lu Zhi looked at everyone's reactions and sighed slightly in his heart. He had known this would happen, so why did he do it in the first place.
Of course, even Lu Zhi himself did not expect that Chu Yi could suppress Yuan Shao so easily with the help of the power of the imperial seal.
Although Lu Zhi did not agree with Lu Zhi's support of Liu Xie as emperor, Lu Zhi was unable to stop this matter and could only watch Liu Xie become Yuan Shao's puppet and banner.
Now Yuan Shao was suppressed by Chu Yi, and even Liu Xie died in the war. Lu Zhi thought that if he had not agreed to the request of Empress Dowager Dong to come to Chang'an City, then Liu Xie would not have done this.
What about calamity?
With all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, Lu Zhi slowly glanced at Fu Wan, and then swept his eyes across the crowd before slowly speaking: "How can Lu fight against the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court? If he angers the King of Chu, natural disasters will come.
, Chang'an City will become a ruin, this crime is huge!"
"Mr. Lu, please show us a clear path."
Everyone couldn't help but plead to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi sighed slightly and said with a serious look: "If you want to survive, what you have to do now is to offer up Chang'an City honestly, even if it is to stop everyone in the world from talking, I don't think King Chu will do it.
How are you guys doing?"
After hearing the words, everyone pondered for a moment and then their eyes lit up. What Lu Zhi said was not unreasonable. After all, the culprit was Yuan Shao. It can be said that they were forced by Yuan Shao so they had to support Yuan Shao. Now Yuan Shao is dead. Chu Yi
As long as you don't want chaos in the area, you will definitely choose to appease them. After all, they are a powerful and influential family in the area.
If Chu Yi really wanted to take action against a wealthy family like them with profound foundations, he would probably have to endure a huge backlash, and it would be certain that the local area would be in turmoil.
In the eyes of everyone, as long as Chu Yi is not a fool, he will definitely make a choice that benefits both of them as Lu Zhi said.
Fu Wan and others bowed to Lu Zhi, and everyone left with happy faces.
There were only a few people left in the main hall, but one person heard a sneer: "It's really stupid."
Lu Zhi looked up and saw who it was if it wasn't Zhong Yao.
As an official in Chang'an, Zhong Yao abided by his duties during this turmoil. He never got too close to Yuan Shao, and even pretended not to have seen Yuan Shao's recruitment.
At first, many people secretly laughed at Zhong Yao for being so stupid that he refused to embrace Yuan Shao. Now it seems that Zhong Yao made the right choice by not clinging to Yuan Shao.
It is conceivable that once Chu Yi's army takes Chang'an City, it is hard to say what will happen to the aristocratic families who are attached to Yuan Shao, but someone like Zhong Yao who is a maverick and insists on refusing to attach to Yuan Shao will definitely enter Chu Yi's circle.
When the time comes, Chu Yi's sight will be valued by Chu Yi, and his rapid rise can almost be expected.
Zhong Yao sneered, which made several people present look surprised, while Lu Zhi glanced at Zhong Yao.
At this moment, Zhong Yao said to Lu Zhi: "Don't you think Mr. Lu really thinks that the King of Chu is really so easy to talk to?"
Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed. He didn't know that what he just said was just words to appease people. Even he himself couldn't guarantee that Chu Yi would really not hold those people accountable just because they chose to sacrifice Chang'an City.
Yuan Shao was blamed.
Now being pointed out by Zhong Yao, Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "So what, Lu is old, and his body will become useless at any time, so he still wants Lu to ascend to the top and give these people a false
I hope you can’t recreate the killing?”
Zhong Yao cupped his fists at Lu Zhi and said, "It's a pity that after this incident, Mr. Lu's name will probably be reviled by those people."
It is conceivable that if Chu Yi liquidates these people, then those who chose to surrender because of Lu Zhi will definitely hate Lu Zhi who persuaded them to surrender. By then, Lu Zhi will either be scolded to death by these people or be scolded by these people.
Someone sent someone to assassinate him.
Don't underestimate the heritage of these aristocratic families. Even if Chu Yi liquidates these aristocratic families, it is impossible to guarantee that these intertwined aristocratic families will be uprooted.
After all, these aristocratic families are married to each other, and the closeness of the relationship network is simply jaw-dropping. Even if they really want to be uprooted, I am afraid that even the civil and military personnel under Chu Yi will not be able to escape the relationship network of this aristocratic family.
The city of Chang'an was opened, which made Lu Bu, who came with a large army and wanted to show his skills, a look of disappointment.
He originally hoped that Chang'an City could withstand the attack, which would give him a chance to show off his skills. However, he didn't expect that his army had just arrived under Chang'an City. As a result, the closed door slowly opened, and a group of people just...
Too much surrender.
Xun Yu, who followed the army, was very capable and quickly arranged for people to take over the entire city of Chang'an, and placed those who came to surrender under house arrest in a military camp, waiting for Chu Yi to arrive before dealing with them.
Hangu Pass fell, and Chang'an City surrendered. It only took a few days. From the time Yuan Shao appointed Liu Xie as emperor to the time the court sent troops to suppress it, it only took more than a month in total.
Originally, many interested people in the world were watching this battle. In the eyes of those people, the outcome of the battle between the two imperial courts would take at least one or two years or even longer, but they never thought that it would happen in
The results were obtained in such a short period of time.
Yizhou, where Liu Yan lived after he became king, was the Han Palace. At this time, Liu Yan was sitting there in the Han Palace, his face as gloomy as water.
Just now, Liu Yan received the news of the fall of Hangu Pass. With the ability of a strong martial artist, he could naturally convey it easily over thousands of miles.
Liu Yan originally fully expected that the two sides would never be able to tell the winner, so that no one would care about him, the prince who dominated Yizhou.
However, the news came that Yuan Shao was defeated and even Liu Xie died in the army. How could this not make Liu Yan curse in his heart.
In the main hall, a group of civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Everyone had received the news. At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely dull and depressing.
At this time, Liu Yan had both civil and military personnel under his command, which was quite impressive. Among the civil servants, Fazheng, Li Yan, Deng Zhi, Wang Lei and others were the main ones, while among the generals, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi and Meng Da were the main ones.
, Huang Quan and others are the main ones.
Looking at the civil and military officials below, Liu Yan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Yuan Shao has been defeated! What do you think?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Meng Da couldn't help but said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you want me to say that Yuan Benchu is a waste, he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and even the natural barriers of Hangu Pass cannot stop Chu Yi for a few days. What is this if not a waste?"
Hearing what Meng Da said, many people looked at Meng Da with strange eyes. Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with Meng Da's brain. Didn't he see the mention of Chu Yi in the news?
Was it because Yuan Shao was suppressed by razing Hangu Pass to the ground with the help of the power of heaven and earth?
Even Liu Yan couldn't help but cough slightly and said: "General Meng Da, Chu Yi relied on the power of the imperial seal to suppress Yuan Benchu. This battle was not due to Yuan Benchu's incompetence, but to Chu Yi's cheating."
Meng Da raised his head and said: "So what? I don't know how powerful the Chuan Guo Jade Seal is, but if the Chuan Guo Jade Seal can really be used unlimitedly, then why did the late emperor not use Chuan Guo Jade Seal during the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
The National Jade Seal suppresses the Yellow Turban traitors, but in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to use the National Jade Seal.”
"Eh!"
Many people's eyes lit up. What Meng Da said was not unreasonable. Even a fool would have thought that the Imperial Seal must not be used casually. If there was really no cost, then there would be more
What are these civil servants and generals doing? When there is a war, can't they just use the imperial seal to suppress everything?
Wang Lei stroked his beard and chuckled: "General Meng Da's words woke me up from my dream. We only saw that the Hangu Pass was easily destroyed, but we didn't expect how many times the national jade seal could be used.
."
Meng Da said with a proud look on his face: "In my land of Yizhou, there is nothing but many dangerous passes. Even if Chu Yi can use the imperial seal to conquer a few dangerous passes, so what, unless he can conquer all the dangerous passes."
The levels are all leveled, the key is does Chuan Guo Yuxi really have such ability?"
"Hahaha, what General Meng Da said is right, the Imperial Seal does not have such power at all!"
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan naturally knew that it was not that simple to use the Jade Seal of the Han Dynasty. It would damage the national destiny of the Han Dynasty, just once or twice. If he used the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of the Han Dynasty too many times, it would backfire.
of one's own body.
Liu Yan was even vaguely looking forward to it. He hoped that Chu Yi could frequently use the power of the Imperial Seal. In that case, not only would Chu Yi have to bear the consequences of the Imperial Seal's backlash, but even the emperor would be implicated.
, even premature death is not impossible.
Liu Yan couldn't help but get a little excited when he thought that if Chu Yi and Liu Bian were killed by the backlash of the Imperial Seal, then it would be possible for him to get a glimpse of the emperor's position.
Fazheng was sitting there, watching Liu Yan's expression in his eyes. Even if he couldn't see through Liu Yan's mind, based on his understanding of Liu Yan, he could tell what Liu Yan was thinking at this moment, and Fazheng was more
You can still guess a few points.
Fazheng sighed in his heart and shook his head slowly. Liu Yan underestimated Yuan Shao, and he even underestimated Chu Yi. If Liu Yan really faced Chu Yi with such a mentality, how dare Fazheng
It is guaranteed that the land of Yizhou will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court again soon, and as the first clan to claim the title of king, Liu Yan's fate is almost foreseeable.
With a slight cough, Fazheng looked at Liu Yan seriously and said: "The King of Chu is a powerful figure in the world. How can he not expect the things that the prince can think of? If the prince puts his hope on Chu Yi's stupidity, I'm afraid..."
Liu Yan, who was immersed in beautiful fantasy, suddenly turned gloomy when Fazheng said this. He glared at Fazheng fiercely and said, "Fa Xiaozhi, what do you mean by this?"
Meng Da jumped out and pointed at Fa Zheng and said: "Fa Xiaozhi, you admire the Chu thieves so much, could it be that you are a member of the Chu thieves?"
Liu Yan knew that Fazheng and Mengda were not going to deal with each other. At this moment, Mengda jumped out and directly labeled Fazheng as a Chu Yi party member. To be honest, everyone was really shocked.
Deng Zhi couldn't help but cough lightly and said: "General Meng Da, I'm discussing business matters, please don't bring personal grudges into it."
Meng Da glanced at Deng Zhi, grinned and sneered: "If Fa Xiaozhi is not a member of the Chu thieves, then why would he speak for the Chu thieves? He would have almost directly said that the prince is stupid."
Deng Zhi, Wang Lei and others couldn't help but be astonished. If they taste it carefully, to be honest, Fa Zheng's words can really be understood as what Meng Da said.
Even though they knew that Fazheng had no such intention, just by looking at Liu Yan's gloomy face, they knew that Liu Yan had been persuaded by Meng Da.
Liu Yan snorted coldly, glared at Fazheng fiercely and said, "Fa Zheng is filial and upright. It is in vain that I value you so much. Unexpectedly, I am just a foolish person in your heart."
