Xuande

Chapter 488 Imperial power, I am afraid it will be revived

The battle was basically over, and Liu Bei's battle outside Luoyang City came to an end. He arranged for the troops to clean up the battlefield, reorganize, and then arranged for the temporary garrison and logistics of each army.

His mission was successfully completed, and so were those of Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang, and Dong Zhong.

It is rare that they did not stretch the span, and even completed all the tasks very well, and even over-fulfilled some tasks.

However, after a period of military chaos, there was indeed a great chaos inside and outside Luoyang City. Fortunately, the city gates were closed, but the main populated areas outside the city were also subject to military chaos because of this action. It was a mess, and the loss was great.

This once again proves the terrifying power of military disasters that can be compared with natural disasters.

For Liu Bei, this is a rather disgusting thing, because the operation is over, and it is meaningless to continue to destroy, so Liu Bei decisively dispatched Liangzhou soldiers with good military discipline to attack the Xiyuan rebellious army who are doing meaningless destruction. Take action.

Order them to stop destroying, drive away those who obey, and kill those who don't obey.

It is not difficult to solve a military chaos, as long as there are stronger troops to crush it, it will be fine.

The damage to Luoyang needs to be kept within a certain level, otherwise the recovery after the war will bring great difficulties to Liu Bei. He is now the strongest military owner and the leader in the future system. It's broken, isn't he the one who's in trouble?

At dusk on this day, Liu Bei's Liangzhou soldiers began to leave the field, entered the populated area outside Luoyang City, and began to "force control" the out-of-control Xiyuan rebels.

The obedient ones were driven away, and the disobedient ones were killed. Not long after the sun had completely set, the Liangzhou soldiers had formed a crushing posture against the Xiyuan rebellious army, and successfully drove them out of the populated area, ending their war. crazy.

During the operation, more than 100 Xiyuan rebels were killed by Liangzhou soldiers.

And Liu Bei himself entered Luoyang City when the operation was in progress, and led his subordinates who participated in the operation to meet Jian Shuo, Zhang Rang and Dong Zhong outside the palace.

The faces of the three people were full of uncontrollable ecstasy.

Dong Zhong confessed that he controlled the palace very well, except for some people who died in the queen's palace, the palace was intact.

Zhang Rang showed Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji's heads and told them that all members of the Yuan family in the city had been killed.

Jian Shuo took out the list and told them that all the people who should be killed have been killed, and the old officials of the Yuan family and everyone's enemies have been physically eliminated.

Liu Bei showed the heads of a series of characters such as He Jin and He Miao, and told them that the operation was basically successful. The only problem is that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu escaped successfully, and they may take revenge later.

"This……"

Zhang Rang and the other three looked at each other, and looked at Liu Bei together without speaking.

Liu Bei smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry, as long as Yuan Kai and He Jin are dead, everything else doesn't matter. The Yuan family is already a traitor, what else can they do? Even if there is trouble in the future, the people who follow them are at most only some of the Yuan family's disciples and old officials. .

Even if they all die here, many of these Yuan family members and old officials are going to rebel, and they are afraid of being chased and killed by us. Let them jump out and rebel now, and I can get rid of them all in one go. "

After Liu Bei's explanation, the other three people had nothing to say. They saw Liu Bei's explosive combat prowess, and they had full trust in Liu Bei's military ability.

"Since that's the case, we've won, right?"

Dong Zhong looked at the other three excitedly, and said happily: "We won! We won! We really won!!"

"That's natural!"

Zhang Rang said wildly: "They lost, we won, as Xuande said, the future is ours!"

"our!"

Jian Shuo clenched his fists excitedly: "Right now Luoyang is completely under our control, everyone, what are you waiting for, why don't you go to worship the Son of Heaven?!"

Jian Shuo's eyes gleamed with greed and excitement, as did Zhang Rang and Dong Zhong.

They looked at Liu Bei together again.

Liu Bei grinned.

"it is good."

They had obtained accurate information before, and now the officials are in the palace, receiving the emperor's lecture, and Liu Hong seems to have persuaded them all.

The appearance of Liu Bei and others is to prove to them that the rebellion has been eradicated and the emperor's forces have won the final victory.

Then as the final sign of the end of this matter, Liu Bei needs to bring a group of officers from Bingzhou to give the group of officials the last reassurance.

After all, it was the rebellion of Situ, one of the generals and one of the three princes, which was unique in the history of the Han Empire. It would be somewhat inappropriate for such a big historical event without a complete explanation.

The physical evidence has been given, but now we need witnesses. Lu Bu, Li Su, Zhang Liao, and Zhang Yang who followed behind Liu Bei are the witnesses. Of course, the most important ones are Lu Bu and Li Su.

When they arrived at Chongde Hall, Liu Hong was already looking forward to them. When someone from outside informed them, Liu Hong almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"Xuan!"

So Liu Bei and the other four followed the envoy into the Chongde Hall, and slowly walked towards Liu Hong under the gaze of the crowd.

Liu Bei saw many familiar people, saw many eager eyes, and also saw Lu Zhi's complicated eyes.

Smiling at Lu Zhi, Liu Bei didn't say anything, walked straight past Lu Zhi, walked to the predetermined station, and reported the results of the battle to Liu Hong on behalf of the other three.

"The ministers and others have ordered to suppress the bandits, and have beheaded the heads of the bandits He Jin, Yuan Kai, He Miao, etc. All the bandits who participated in this rebellion were also captured and killed by the courtiers, and the bandits were also defeated by the Wang Shi. The eight passes of Luoyang have all been taken back by Master Wang, and His Majesty's orders, ministers, etc. have all been fulfilled!"

"it is good!"

Liu Hong's spirit was almost broken, but at this moment, the excitement still prompted him to shout out.

"This is national loyalty! Zhongliang!"

"There are many loyal and good people in the country, not just the minister alone, General Dong, Captain Jian, and Zhang Changshi, they are also the heroes who have contributed to this!"

Liu Hong nodded immediately.

"That's right, you are all Zhongliang!"

"Your Majesty, it is not only the ministers who have made great achievements this time, but also the loyal ministers of Bingzhou. Because they do not want to join forces with Yuan and He's thieves, they choose to be loyal to His Majesty! May Your Majesty reward you generously!"

"Okay! Xuan!"

So Lu Bu and other four Bingzhou generals were summoned to the court to meet the emperor.

"Minister Bingzhou Lu Bu, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Bingzhou Lieutenant Li Su, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Bingzhou Captain Zhang Liao, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Chen Bingzhou Captain Zhang Yang, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

After their meeting, Liu Bei explained the role of the four men in the coup, and the role they played.

These four people went to the palace not only to show their merits, but also to let the officials in the palace know that the Bingzhou soldiers were indeed in He Jin's army. In this way, the rebellion between the Yuan family and the He family became an even more unshakable fact. Even if the three clans were exterminated, the people of the world would have nothing to say.

Although this incident was bloody and brutal, it was reasonable and legal, and there was nothing to criticize.

Although the ministers had some thoughts in their minds, the evidence was solid. They had to admit that this time was a complete defeat for the scholars and court officials, and a complete victory for the emperor and his cronies.

The appearance of Bingzhou people was the complete failure of Yuan and He.

The imperial power may be revived.

Liu Hong was very happy, and Empress Dowager Dong was very happy, and even cried out of joy.

In the hall, Cai Yong approached Lu Zhi, and said in a low voice: "Zigan, from my point of view, no one in the world can compare to Xuande now, you are a disciple, you are really amazing."

Lu Zhi was silent for a while, then sighed.

"So what? Yuan Kai and He Jin conspired to rebel. This is a fact. It is only natural that they were killed because of the rebellion. There is nothing wrong with what Xuande did..."

"It's good if you can think like this, but according to the current situation, Xuande should be the next general, right?"

Cai Yong looked at Lu Zhi: "The position of the disciple is higher than that of the teacher, how do you feel?"

Lu Zhi smiled wryly.

"Bo Jie, this is not the time to talk about such things, is it?"

"I'm just curious."

Cai Yong didn't say anything more.

Among the officials in the palace, more and more people have reacted. It is normal for He Jin and Yuan Kai to be killed as rebels. Although this is indeed shocking, it has already happened. Already dead, there is nothing more to say.

For the rest, someone soon thought of the four characters [On Merit and Deeds].

Even a fool can now understand Liu Bei's role in this shocking coup. They also know who Dong Zhong, Zhang Rang, and Jian Shuo who joined forces with him are.

A good hand in fighting for power and profit is useless in governing the country and the country. If Liu Bei did not participate, it is estimated that they would even be killed by Yuan and He.

Therefore, the real hero in this incident is Liu Bei, and Liu Bei must have played the role of the mainstay, and what reward will the emperor give him?

The officials will wait and see.

At the same time, after this coup was over, the power of the Yuan family was completely out of the game. Before that, everything they occupied in the court was quite rich. , if these people are all eradicated, a lot of political power will be vacated...

That's good stuff!
As expected of a good player in the fight for power and profit, the thinking of quite a few court officials immediately jumped to this level.

It seems that only when it comes to fighting for power and profit can the thinking of court officials be so active and so detached.

However, Liu Hong seems to have no way to preside over what should be done next.

After the worries in his heart were completely resolved, Liu Hong was very happy, and laughed out loud, smiling, but he stopped laughing.

He suddenly paused, and the whole person directly fainted on the throne.
