Xuande

Chapter 440 Lu Zhi Can't Find The Meaning
After that, Liu Bei left Huayin County with a relaxed mood, and all the troops he brought were taken away, leaving no one behind.Standing at the head of Huayin County, Yang Biao looked at Liu Bei's army in the distance, and sighed deeply.

Yang Xiu, who was standing beside Yang Biao, looked at Yang Biao, hesitated for a moment, and said what he wanted to say.

"Father, my son thinks what father did was the right choice."

Yang Biao turned to look at his young son in a little surprise.

"Xiu, do you think what you did for your father is right?"

"Yes."

Yang Xiu nodded and said: "My son has never seen the big world, but he also knows that Liu Xuande's reputation has always been very good. He rarely hears people speak ill of Liu Xuande. Even his father often laments Liu Xuande's talent, rather than criticizing him. However, his father hated Yuan Shi very much and spoke ill of Yuan Shi many times.

My son thinks that even his father recognizes Liu Xuande's character, so Liu Xuande's oath can be trusted. In contrast, although the Yuan family has four generations and three generations, it is not worthy of trust. Since neither side is a good choice, It's better to choose someone who is trustworthy than someone who isn't. "

Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu for a while, and smiled wryly.

"Xiu, what you said is speechless as a father!"

"Father, did you say something wrong?"

"No, you are right, very right. Although Liu Xuande is one of the culprits responsible for the fall of the Yang family, I have never doubted his character of keeping his promises."

Yang Biao sighed: "Compared to it, the Yuan family does not have such a reputation, so this time Luoyang's finale must be Liu Xuande's victory, and the one who will be the leader in the world in the future must be Liu Xuande!"

"Father is so sure?"

Yang Xiu asked: "Father also said that the Yuan family and the He family have been running Luoyang for a long time, and Liu Xuande is not able to fight against them. Four generations and three generations, with a profound background, will Liu Xuande be sure to win?"

"Moral support from many, scant support."

Yang Biao smiled wryly and said, "Even enemies like me hope that Liu Xuande can win, so how can there be very few others who secretly hope that Liu Xuande can win? People's support has always been an important factor affecting the situation.

When people's hearts are leaning towards Liu Xuande, how could he fail?Yuan Kai is proud and conceited, and He Jin is stupid and cowardly. Although these two people are in high positions and have many fans around them, they will certainly not be able to defeat Liu Xuande, whom the hearts of the people aspire to. "

"I see."

Yang Xiu nodded slowly, looking at the direction Liu Bei was leaving with an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.

"Father, Liu Xuande said before that the Yang family will usher in the doomsday, but it will also usher in a new life. Judging from his consistent principle of keeping his promises, is this some kind of promise he made to the Yang family?"

"Perhaps so."

Yang Biao looked into the distance and said in a low voice: "But to usher in a new life, you have to face the doomsday first, but I don't know what the doomsday is in Liu Xuande's words. In the hands of father and son, in the future, what face will I have to meet the ancestors of the past?"

After the meeting this time, Liu Bei sent a message to the rear and adjusted the original logistics route slightly.

Don't choose another way, just pass through Hongnong County directly to Luoyang, and order the logistics department personnel to connect with Hongnong County officials.

Xun Yu, Yin Da and others who were in charge of logistics and transportation were a little puzzled, but they still did as Liu Bei said.

As a result, Hongnong County was very enthusiastic about this matter, and dispatched a lot of manpower and material resources to help Liu Bei's logistics work, and provided a lot of convenience for Xun Yu, Yin Da and others. hinder.

So Liu Bei's logistics road was smooth all the way.

In the original action plan, Hongnong County, as a key uncertain factor, affected the overall layout of Liu Bei's action plan.

Even in the first version of the plan, Jia Xu suggested that Liu Bei take out a battalion of troops to deter the Yang family in Hongnong County. Even if he paid some price for this, he would never let the Yang family become a time bomb in Liu Bei's rear.

But Liu Bei personally vetoed this plan, and said that this problem will be solved by him, and the logistical aspect only needs to wait for news.

Regarding this, the logistics department accepted the order, but they were somewhat puzzled in their hearts. As a result, the news that Hongnong County opened the door to convenience came, and the logistics officials were overjoyed.

Xun Yu, Yin Da and others, who were well versed in the inside story, were even more moved, and deeply admired Liu Bei's political skills.

He was able to persuade Yang, who was almost a deadly enemy, to help him. What did Liu Bei say to Yang Biao?
They don't know, of course, and it doesn't matter.

After solving a time bomb in the rear, Liu Bei led the army to Luoyang City with peace of mind, and arrived in Henan County, west of Luoyang City, in the middle and late February of the sixth year of Zhongping.

Here, Liu Bei met the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and the envoy of the Son of Heaven passed on the latest order, asking Liu Bei to lead the troops to garrison in Shanglin Garden and Xianyang Garden, where the imperial court prepared all the materials needed by the army.

After that, Liu Bei's army was stationed there, and Liu Bei himself was waiting for the order of the emperor, and was ready to enter Luoyang City to report on his duties at any time.

As Liu Bei's army approached Luoyang City step by step, the emotions of the ghosts and monsters in the city began to polarize.

Yuan Kui had a very obvious feeling.

Recently, quite a few of those ancient literary families who had moved closer to him in order to fight for the status of the Fanyue family no longer had any contact with him, but returned to Lu Zhi's side to meet Lu Zhi.

And with the passage of time, there are more and more such people.

In the past, more than 80.00% of the upper echelons of the entire ancient literature school had taken refuge in him, but now, this proportion has dropped to less than 50.00%.

Liu Bei hadn't arrived at Luoyang City yet, but just came here with his soldiers. Every time he got closer to Luoyang City, some of the ancient literary families who had been close to Yuan Kui returned to Lu Zhi's side.

This situation not only made Yuan Wei hate, but also made Lu Zhi dumbfounded.

"Because Xuande came, they came back. It's no wonder that Zheng Gong despaired of such conduct. He felt that Luoyang City couldn't stay any longer. If things go on like this, I think I can't stay any longer..."

Long-term political struggles and heavy political responsibilities made Lu Zhi physically and mentally exhausted.

The fact that the interests of the group are constantly biased between personal ethics and the interests of the group makes Lu Zhi's emotions very depressed all the time, and he always feels that he has done something wrong.

He was a Taiwei in Luoyang City with guilt. With such emotions, he had a heartfelt resistance to things like increasing power and expanding power, even though he himself knew it was wrong to do so. But he just couldn't get over the barrier in his heart.

This is one of the reasons why he is unwilling to expand his personal power.

Now, with Zheng Xuan's departure and the factual disintegration of the ancient literature school, Lu Zhi understands Zheng Xuan more and more, understands this era, and understands the group of people around him.

Everyone seems to be like-minded companions, but as long as there is a slight change, they can change their positions anytime, anywhere, leave the so-called big group, and fight for their own interests.

There is no overall situation, and it is not important. The overall situation is nothing in front of interests.

Before Liu Bei did not come, the Yuan family was strong, so most of the people left.

Now that Liu Bei is here, he still has the right to start the mansion, and he is like an upstart, so many of the people who left before have returned.

Lu Zhi really couldn't bear such a thing, so he was very depressed and complained to Xun Shuang, Fuqian, Ma Ridun and others, pouring out his resentment.

"Up to now, whether the ancient prose is good or the modern prose, it's just the appearance, inside, it's still a struggle for power, no different from a dispute between relatives and eunuchs. I'm afraid most people think this way, only a few people like me Wait, I'm still thinking about the glory of the saint, now it's over, I should learn from Zheng Gong and return to my hometown, otherwise, I'm afraid I will die of anger in Luoyang soon."

Xun Shuang, Ma Rixun and Fuqian were all stunned.

Xun Shuang looked at Lu Zhi and asked in surprise, "Zigan, are you serious? Mr. Zheng retired at the age of 60 and returned home. Are you going to return home at the age of 50?"

Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"For the sake of the ancient literature school, I have given up a lot of things and done some wrong things, but in the end I found that they may never need me to do those wrong things. Whether I do it or not, they are them. It hasn't changed, so what's the point of my staying and giving?"
