Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1868

Yanzhou, East County.

"Ten days?"

When Xun Yu received the edict from Luoyang, his complexion suddenly became gloomy.

All the ministers in the hall also peeped at each other.

"What a great prestige!"

Someone said faintly: "He really regards him as the master of the world!"

"Up to now, he is indeed the master of the world!"

Zhong Yao said in a low voice: "People say that a county is slaughtered, so it must be a county that is slaughtered. No chickens or dogs are left, and blood flows like rivers. It's just an edict. You think that the Ming army can't do this thing!"

All the ministers were suddenly chilled.

The Ming court was a court that was killed, and the Ming army was a pawn that killed people like tigers. These pawns of tigers and wolves can really do anything.

Xun Yu glanced at Zhong Yao: "Yuan Chang thinks that I should go and lead him to death!"

"Whether you should go to Luoyang or not, Yuan Ruo decides for himself. As for whether to lead him to death, it is too early!" Zhong Yao shook his head and said calmly: "Everyone will say the truth, and the Yingchuan family is not just the Xun family. , whether it is the Chen family, the Zhong family, or the Han family, they are all responsible, and Yuan Ruo doesn't have to bear it alone!"

"Ha ha!"

Xun Yu laughed at himself a little bit: "If someone can represent the Yingchuan gentry, it's easy!"

At this point, the world has no place to stay.

He can escape.

Can the Yingchuan Xun family escape?

There are always things that are more important than your own life.

"Where's Chen Qun?" Xun Yu asked.

"Captured!"

Zhong Yao said: "He was also unlucky. He could have escaped, but he met Zhang Ren. Yuan Ruo also knew that he was a terrible person. As a result, he did not escape and the entire army under his command was wiped out." !"

"The tree falls and the hozen scatter!"

Xun Yu smiled: "The king has already fallen, how many people can escape!"

"Then us?"

All the ministers looked at Xun Yu. Now Xun Yu was their spiritual support. It was Xun Yu who had the final say on whether to resist desperately or put down their weapons and surrender.

Xun Yu sighed: "At this point, I have nothing to do. Since Mu Longtu wants someone to go to Luoyang, I still want to go. I can't let him find a chance to raise the butcher knife against our Yingchuan gentry!"

"Wen Ruo!"

"Prime Minister!"

The ministers wanted to persuade him, after all, they respected Xun Yu very much.

"No need to say more, I did this not only for Yingchuan, what Yuan Chang said is true, the Yingchuan family is everyone, not just our Xun family!"

His eyes were a little cold, and finally fell on a young man: "Uncle Six, enough people in the Xun family have died. After I leave, the Xun family can only rely on you!"

"Wen Ruo!"

Xun Shuang frowned.

There are eight dragons in the Xun family, and he ranks sixth. In terms of seniority, he is Xun Yu's sixth uncle, but in terms of ability and status, Xun Yu is the backbone of the Xun family. Even Xun You could not match Xun Yu's status back then.

Wang Zuozhi certainly has the talent of Xun Yu, but there is also the propaganda of the Xun family. The Xun family has established a lineage with Xun Yu as the core in the early years, and the power of the family has always been in the hands of Xun Yu.

Xun Yu waved his hand, suppressed his words, and then said to Zhong Yao: "Yuan Chang, there are always some people who will not be reconciled, I will say the same thing, enough people have died, there is no need to add more deaths. I go to Luoyang, life and death are uncertain, even if I survive, it may not be a good end, the king's life or death is unknown, now the king's family is in Dongjun, we can not do other things, but we can't let the king's family have problems, so this I leave the responsibility to you!"

"Wen Ruo, let me go to Luoyang with you!" Zhong Yao said suddenly.

"Not yet!"

Xun Yu said: "Besides, you and I will leave. The court is full of civil and military forces. Who can keep the king's wife and children? We and the king can be regarded as monarchs and ministers for a lifetime. We must complete this friendship!"

"The world is about to be stable, but before this stability, there will always be some disturbances!"

Zhong Yao sighed.

"Perhaps it's a good thing too!" Xun Yu smiled meaningfully.

..............................................................................

Youzhou.

Zhao Yun got the letter from Liu Bei. At this moment, he was in a dilemma.

In the battle of Shangdang, he was the only general who escaped.

However, the main force of the Yan army was almost wiped out, and there were very few soldiers and horses he could bring back, and Youzhou was facing turmoil, not only civil strife, but also the northern defense line was already in jeopardy.

The Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people are already ready to move.

"Your Majesty, do you know that once this letter comes out, there is no way out for me!" Zhao Yun stood on the top of the city, watching the snowstorm in the north. Even though spring has been around for a while, the north is still covered with snow.

"General!"

A personal guard went up to the city: "Xianbei people have appeared in Daijun!"

"It came so fast!"

Zhao Yun gritted his teeth: "Order Baima Yicong to prepare for the war. In addition, Youzhou is under martial law. All gates of Jicheng are closed and no one can enter or exit!"

"Yes!"

The personal guard took the order and left.

"Your Majesty, even if the world should be united, I will finish this stop. I can't let this Xianbei person enter Youzhou. If Xianbei breaks through Youzhou in my hands and goes south to the Central Plains, what will I do? Let's face Chang Shan's folks!"

Zhao Yun's heart was firmed up with a fighting spirit.

Even if he wants to give up.

You also have to do your own thing.

At least one thing is guaranteed, Youzhou is complete in his hands.

..............................

After the war, two months passed, and the world began to gradually restore peace. As the territory of the Ming court continued to expand, everyone in the world knew that the unification of the Ming Dynasty was a fact.

Luoyang City.

The sun shone on this ancient city, shining brightly on people's hearts. Compared with the dilapidated Luoyang a few months ago, today's Luoyang has a more vibrant feeling.

The continuous influx of refugees and common people caused the city's population to explode.

Not long after the World War ended, there were more than one place of turmoil, and naturally there were many refugees. Although Luoyang City, where the Ming army was stationed, was almost destroyed by the war, there was a sense of security with the Ming army there.

So more and more refugees came in.

During this period of time, Mu Jing was sorting out the casualties of the war. Starting from the north, he fought against the Yan army and killed the Wei army. After two bloody battles, it is conceivable that the Ming army suffered heavy casualties.

Even if some captives were gathered later and some recruits were recruited, it is difficult to summarize the strength of the troops before the war.

Casualties one by one, now only one name remains.

On the roster of the war dead, each name is not only a symbol, but also represents the difficulty of establishing the Ming court.

There is not much Mujing can do, other than pensions, he hopes to let future generations know that the honor and devotion represented by each name, their blood cannot be shed in vain.

"His Majesty!"

Xu Shu trotted in, clasped his hands in salute, and said in a low voice, "Cai Shenzheng has arrived in Luoyang!"

"When?"

"An hour ago!"

Xu Shu said: "He entered Luoyang very low-key, and he didn't come to visit His Majesty immediately, but inspected some workshops in Luoyang City, and saw that many people could only live in greenhouses. Some officials were punished, the killing intent is fierce!"

"Didn't he kill a group of people along the way!"

Mu Jing didn't care about it: "Besides, since when did this old man Cai take me to heart, well, since he doesn't come, I can get on the pole, let him take a trip to Luoyang City first, let's go smoothly Bar!"

"The current situation is already serious. If he finds fault, it will be very difficult for us!" Xu Shu said bitterly.

"It's a good thing for someone to criticize you, you can do whatever you want!"

Mu Jing waved his hand: "If you don't feel angry, you argue with him yourself, and I won't come forward!"

He sneered in his heart, and wanted to take me out as a target. I am not stupid, but if I resist old man Cai, there will be no good end. Old man Cai will go crazy, and it will be bold to take myself out directly.

It's disrespectful for others to beat yourself up, but old man Cai beat him up, that's Lao Taishan beating his son-in-law, and he deserved it.

As the only old man Cai who can be regarded as Mujing's direct elder, he has such power.

Xu Shu was helpless, he couldn't move Mujing, so he had to clean up the mess on his own. He felt that he would meet Cai Yong in person, and then accompany Cai Yong by the side. At least he could say a few words for Cai Yong when he was criticizing.

The current situation, after the war, has just begun to clean up the old rivers and mountains. Many things have not changed, and naturally many things cannot be done properly.

Being provoked by Cai Yong for a long time, Xu Shu could only hold his breath.

In the evening, Cai Yong finally remembered that there was another emperor who needed an audience, so he paid a visit to Mu Jing in Luoyang's other courtyard: "I, Cai Yong, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"This place is not the Daming Palace, so father doesn't need to be too polite!"

Mu Jing quickly stepped up and helped him up.

The more polite this old man is, the more afraid he is, who knows what he is holding back.

"The etiquette of monarchs and ministers must not be messed up!"

Cai Yong saluted firmly.

Mujing also had no choice but to accept the gift, but he murmured in his heart: If you have always been so polite, you won't make me feel uncomfortable all these years.

However, Cai Yong seemed to have read his mind, he continued: "It used to be minister Menglang, but now Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, everyone in the world can bear all the gifts, Your Majesty must not underestimate himself!"

"Father's instructions, I have written them down!"

Mu Jing smiled.

He could understand what Cai Yong meant, that is to say, it is different now. In the past, he could only be regarded as a false emperor, but now, he is the real lord of the world, the emperor of a dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have come all the way and found many disadvantages. The world has been in turmoil for too long, causing local order to be in turmoil. The people's lives are too difficult!"

Cai Yong was granted a seat by Mujing, so he sat down, and immediately began to talk about business: "Nowadays, the order is still a bit chaotic, and our imperial court must calm down the place as soon as possible!"

"You know this, I know it, and the court knows it!" Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "But many things take time. After the war, we also suffered heavy casualties. During this period, we were just licking our wounds. What extra energy!"

"I can understand His Majesty's thoughts and understand His Majesty's difficulties, but we can wait, can the people of the world wait? If the world under Ming Dynasty cannot restore order as soon as possible, it will inevitably bring turmoil to the place. Some people will take the opportunity However, although it cannot become a big tool, it can also cause great chaos in the local area, and when we want to rectify the local area, it will be difficult!"

Cai Yong's face was a little pale, but his voice was strong. He said loudly: "When the dynasty changes, the power changes, there will inevitably be some gaps, and these gaps will easily bring disasters to countless people!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing also nodded. How could he not know that now is a critical moment of power transition, and everyone in the world knows that the Ming Dynasty has unified the world, but it will take time for the Ming court to truly control all parts of the world.

Even if Daming moves, there will not be so many people. The Central Plains, Jiangdong, Hebei, Youzhou, such a big place, if they want to control it, it will take at least several years to do so.

"Father, I also hope to restore order as soon as possible so that the local people can calm down, but I am a clever woman who cannot cook without rice!" Mu Jing shook his head and said, "I am powerless!"

Cai Yong suddenly asked: "I heard that Your Majesty did not kill Yang Biao!"

"Want to kill!"

Mu Jing said: "Back then he jumped up and down, and he has always been an enemy of our Mu family. For more than ten years, I don't know how many things have broken us, but when the butcher's knife was raised, he still hesitated. The current situation in the world It's different, I, I can't just kill him because of past resentment, so there will be turmoil among the nobles in the world!"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to kill, you just don't want to. Why bother to find so many reasons? If Your Majesty wants to kill someone, all he needs is an order!" Cai Yong pointed out Mu Jingnian's thoughts very bluntly.

He smiled and said: "But I still want to say something, Your Majesty is getting more and more mature. Three years earlier, Yang Biao couldn't survive!"

"Since father knows what I'm thinking, why expose it!" Mu Jing said with some resentment.

"Your Majesty is right, Yang Biao cannot be killed!"

Cai Yong ignored Mu Jing's little resentment, and said: "Yang Biao is a banner. Only when he surrendered can the nobles in the world see the sincerity of the Ming court. Although it is a bit flattering to say this, it is actually the case. This old man The guy has lived for too long and has too much influence, if he had been killed before, he would have been killed, but now, he cannot be killed!"

"I know I can't kill it, but I don't know whether I can keep it or not?" Mu Jing shook his head and said, "That's why I'm in a difficult situation!"

"Then let me talk to him first!"

Cai Yong said: "I have some friendship with him. You have to let others talk, so you know what he thinks. As for whether you can stay, it depends on what he says. He is right, his life is saved. , I'm not right, I have a way to make him die!"

"It's really good for my father to handle this matter!"

Shepherd nodded.

The status of the two scholars is the same, so it will not have much impact if they really quarrel, but Mu Jing's murder is a challenge to the royal power to the scholars. Scholars are sometimes cowardly, but sometimes they are very strong.

Just as Mu Jing was talking, he suddenly saw that Cai Yong's expression was not very good, frowned, and asked, "Father, is he tired after going north?"

"It's okay!"

Cai Yong smiled, his smile was frank and serious: "I am already very satisfied to see the end of the troubled times. Your Majesty will let me use the last remaining heat. At least I can tell myself that I have no regrets." The original decision!"

Abandoning the Han and turning to the Ming is a blow to his faith. The decision he made at the beginning is enough to affect the rest of his life. He doesn't even know whether his own is right or wrong.

But now, at least he can say with a clear conscience that he did nothing wrong.
