The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 42 All we need now is a piece of territory
In Luoyang City, Yuan Shao and others were singing and dancing on the ruins. The princes burst into laughter and there were many compliments in their words. They all thought they had won.

Cao Cao and the others fled back in a state of embarrassment. Looking at the people in the tent, they suddenly snorted coldly.

"It's not enough for Shuzi to plan with you!"

With that said, he led Xiahou Dun and others out of Luoyang.

"Mengde, Mengde."

After all, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were good brothers. Looking at each other's appearance, he felt a little guilty and wanted to chase after him. However, Cao Cao, who had died as a general, had no intention of reminiscing with Yuan Shao at this time. He had already galloped away.

"Huh, it looks like you've been defeated!"

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Who is Thief Dong? He has Lu Bu and Qin Shou as his minions. How can he be invincible by rashly raising an army? It is really ridiculous to blame us at this time."

"Yes! Meng De has violated a taboo among military strategists!" Qiao Mao also sighed.

"Why didn't he wait for a moment!" Liu Dai shook his head.

"That's because the governor is drinking here, so Cao Mengde can't wait any longer." Qiao Mao said with a smile.

"Isn't Governor Qiao also drinking and having fun? It seems that this matter is not related to me, Liu!" Liu Dai suddenly became a little dissatisfied after hearing this. In fact, the relationship between the two was already very tense.

Qiao Mao was unhappy after hearing this, but in the end he didn't say anything, just snorted coldly.

Everyone is the same, and the eldest brother can't laugh at the second brother.

"Okay, now that Meng De has left, let's discuss the next thing!"

Yuan Shao felt a little dissatisfied.

Everyone looked at each other. Everyone knew that with Cao Cao's departure, the alliance would probably be disbanded. The next step was what everyone could get from the alliance.

As Dong Zhuo's general, Qin Shou gained even more. Apart from General Xiaoqi and his soldiers, he also gained fame.

The people migrated thousands of miles from Luoyang to Chang'an, and the army set up resettlement sites ten miles away to supply the people with dry food and hot water. It is unknown how many people were saved, and they were respected as the Buddha of Ten Thousand Households. The accompanying scholars were also trying to make Qin Shou famous.

After defeating Cao Cao, the army's advance slowed down. Qin Shou gathered the army while settling the people.

By the time we arrived in Chang'an, it was already a month later.

On the way, Qin Shou also received news from Luoyang.

Sun Jian hid the jade seal, but Yuan Shao found out about it and left angrily. Qiao Mao fought with Liu Dai, and Qiao Mao was defeated and killed, etc.

The Kwantung Allied Forces have disintegrated.

At this time, Guanzhong was in dilapidated condition, and the palace was in disrepair and damaged in many places. On the contrary, the Prime Minister's Mansion looked magnificent.

"At the end of the day, I will pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Shou saw Dong Zhuo again, and his figure became even more obese.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was no longer obese, but obese!
"Yi Lu, thank you for your hard work. Now that you have arrived in Chang'an, everything is safe. You have made great achievements this time, and I want to reward you. You go home and rest first. The imperial edict will arrive soon."

Dong Zhuo looked very satisfied when he saw Qin Shou.

Not only was he brave in battle, but he was also willing to cut off the rear and kill Cao Cao's generals, which made Dong Zhuo very happy.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Qin Shou quickly thanked him.

Qin Shou's new residence was arranged by Jia Xu. It was not particularly conspicuous and could only be an ordinary residence.

This is also in line with Jia Xu's character, who always keeps a low profile.

"Why are you here?"

Du Shiniang and Queen He welcomed Qin Shou in, but Qin Shou was surprised that Lai Ying'er still stayed in the house.

"Husband, this girl is good at martial arts and helped me a lot along the way."

Du Shiniang pushed Qin Shou.

Qin Shou was amazed when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party had such a skill, so he immediately thanked the other party.

Lai Ying'er, however, had a cold expression on her face, led the maid and turned around to leave.

"What's happening here?"

Qin Shou originally thought that Lai Ying'er would take advantage of the chaos and leave, but unexpectedly he followed Du Shiniang and others to Chang'an.

"Husband, you are smart all your life, but you are confused for a moment! That Cao Cao abandoned him and ran away alone is not a good man. How can the girl entrust herself to him?" "And my husband has been very courteous to him during this period, and Qiu has done nothing wrong. , naturally I will follow my husband."

He Hou looked at the other party's graceful figure and smiled sweetly.

"Where can there be a pure land in troubled times?"

Qin Shou shook his head.

"General, Master Jia wants to see you."

News from the concierge came from outside.

"You go in first, I'll go see Wen He."

Qin Shou did not dare to neglect. At this time, he urgently needed Jia Xu's guidance.

"Wenhe, Wenhe."

Qin Shou's steps were much faster, which showed how urgent he was at this moment.

"Lord."

Jia Xu's face was still calm, and he couldn't tell what the other person was thinking, but the light of wisdom shining in his eyes showed that the other person was uneasy.

If he was forced to become Qin Shou's subordinate at first, now he is somewhat sincere.

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord."

Jia Xu knelt down on the soft mat.

"Wenhe, where does this joy come from?"

Qin Shou asked curiously.

"Isn't it a happy event that the general is so powerful in the world?"

"From Luoyang to Chang'an, the general set up resettlement sites along the way to resettle the victims and became famous in Shilin. Isn't it a happy event?"

"The general now has more than ten thousand troops. Isn't it a happy event?"

Jia Xu stretched out three fingers and asked.

Qin Shou immediately chuckled after hearing this: "After Wen He said this, it is really three happy events. But, Wen He, what should we do next?"

"May I ask about the General's ambition?"

Jia Xu asked.

"The world."

Qin Shou did not hide his ambition at all.

Jia Xu was not surprised when he heard this. If Qin Shou is still hiding himself, it means that the other party does not regard him as a confidant.

When he first met Qin Shou, Jia Xu also asked this question.

Qin Shou's answer was, "When you are born in troubled times, you should hold on to this light and bring peace to the world."

At this moment, Qin Shou's answer was even more obvious, he wanted the whole world.

There is a difference between the two.

"The general is brave, has a far-reaching reputation, and is powerful throughout the world. He still has elite soldiers and generals under his command, but he still lacks one thing."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said.

"Territory."

Qin Shou thought about it briefly and knew what he needed most now.

"What the general said is true. Without territory, the general is like a duckweed without roots and water without a source. He can only rely on the Prime Minister forever. So the next step for the general is to obtain territory."

"The territory is so difficult. The prime minister's generals have been divided into counties in Guanzhong. Where can I get my turn?"

Qin Shou shook his head.

After Dong Zhuo retreated to Guanzhong, he ordered Niu Fu to garrison Anyi, Dong Zhonglang garrisoned Dong Yue in Mianchi, Zhonglang garrison Duan Xuan in Huayin, and the remaining Zhonglang generals and school lieutenants were distributed in various counties to control the Guandong generals.

Almost all the land around Chang'an is occupied.
