Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 470 Recover the old capital!

No matter what Zhong Yao thought after hearing the news, Xing Daorong began to realize what would happen to the world after Liu Bei took control of Chang'an!

However, he was also somewhat excited and stood up and said, "North of Chang'an is all desert. If Sima Yi went there, could it be that he took all the troops with him?"

"Then Zhang He, Xu Huang and other generals didn't stay in Chang'an?"

Sun Qian nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Sima Yi left with nothing, not to mention generals like Zhang He and Xu Huang, not even a single soldier was left."

"But all the food and supplies were taken away, leaving only the civilians in Chang'an."

Xing Daorong found it increasingly strange.

But he said: "Although the land of Mobei is indeed easier to travel than the Qinling Mountains, it is inhabited by foreign tribes. If Sima Yi goes there, he will definitely want to bypass Mobei and enter Hebei so as to preserve this army and horses."

"But those foreigners are not easy to get along with. Sima Yi sent a small number of troops there and said he was just passing through. Who would believe it?"

"I'm afraid even if Sima Yi goes there, he won't be able to relax!"

Sun Qian listened to Sima Yi's analysis, which was almost exactly the same as what His Majesty said, and laughed: "General, you are right! Your Majesty also said that if Sima Yi goes like this, it would be better if he did not fight with the foreign tribes first."

Xing Daorong nodded slightly. He was not surprised to hear that Liu Bei was thinking the same thing.

But he was not so relaxed.

But he said: "Although the foreign races will certainly not relax their control over Sima Yi's troops, with generals like Zhang He, even if the foreign races go, they will not be able to gain any advantage."

"I'm afraid that if Sima Yi goes north, he will really find a way out!"

When Sun Qian heard that Xing Daorong was not so relaxed, his expression restrained a little.

At present, Xing Daorong is almost catching up with Zhuge Liang's ability of foresight, so what he says is naturally convincing.

After thinking about it, I decided to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed.

He said, "General, no matter what, His Majesty has already captured Chang'an. I was sent here specifically to tell you about the situation in Chang'an and to ask you to take the troops and horses to Chang'an to meet His Majesty."

Xing Daorong asked, "Your Majesty, how many troops would you like to leave in Tongguan?"

Sun Qian replied: "Your Majesty did not explain it, just said that the general will make his own arrangements."

My goodness, Liu Bei has simply become a hands-off boss. Who can resist this?
Xing Daorong thought about it and felt that with Zhao Yun staying in Tongguan, there wouldn't be any big problems. Leaving 10,000 people would be enough.

He said, "In that case, I will leave 10,000 soldiers in Tongguan, let Zilong be the commander, and the rest of you will follow me to Chang'an."

Sun Qian naturally had no objection when he heard this.

Just wait for Xing Daorong to make the arrangements.

Now, Xing Daorong's position as the general is as secure as it can be!

It goes without saying that Sun Qian, who already admired Xing Daorong's abilities, had some strange thoughts. However, after seeing Xing Daorong's repeated outstanding achievements, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were completely convinced, and Liu Bei trusted him immensely, he did not dare to reveal his strange thoughts.

to be honest.
Xing Daorong is now truly second to none.

Even if he had a falling out with Zhuge Liang, it was hard to say whether Liu Bei would embarrass him. After all, Liu Bei had seen how loyal he was to Zhuge Liang so many times, so how could he not trust him?

Xing Daorong had imagined the scene of himself entering Chang'an many times, but when this day really came, it was indeed quite different from any imagined scene.

The tall city walls stand majestically, as if telling of the past glory and majesty.

The flags on the city walls fluttered in the wind, demonstrating the solemnity of the city.

More importantly, these flags are all written with Chinese characters.

This time, I felt something was wrong!
Walking into the city, you will see streets crisscrossing each other.

There were actually quite a few people among them, all watching Xing Daorong lead the troops in on the street!
Many people even shouted to him, "General! General!"

Xing Daorong naturally would not think that this was a "delay" arranged by Liu Bei. After all, this matter was unnecessary.

just
If he was not trusted, why did the common people love and respect a great general whom they had never met so much?
This is obviously not common sense!

Sun Qian followed beside him, looking at Xing Daorong's surprised expression, but smiled and explained: "General, don't be surprised. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and has a good reputation for benevolence. The general has won every battle, so he is naturally loved by the people."

"Besides, the people of Chang'an still hope that the people in the imperial palace of this city are surnamed Liu."

"The Han Dynasty has ruled for four hundred years and is still deeply rooted in people's hearts."

indeed!

Liu Bei was good at nothing in the early days, and it was all because he relied on the title of the emperor's uncle and the people's hearts!
Now that other aspects are going well, this person's human heart is revealed.

Xing Daorong calmly accepted the cheers and suddenly felt that his efforts were all worth it.

This made him feel even more relieved, and he finally arrived at the former imperial palace.

Liu Bei is waiting in the palace at this moment.

Speaking of which, the imperial palace in Chang'an has actually been in ruins for a long time.

After Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he set the capital in Luoyang. One reason was that he started his army in Chenliu, which was far away from Chang'an. Strictly speaking, his foundation was not in Chang'an.

Another reason is the dilapidated state of Chang'an.

Just think about it, after Chang'an City experienced Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne and the invasion of the Red Eyebrows, is this capital still as prosperous as it was at the beginning?
You know, after Wang Mang became emperor, he implemented various new policies, but they had no effect. This led to rebellion throughout the country, and the people in Chang'an lived in worry every day.

Later, the Gengshi regime captured Chang'an and the city changed hands again.

However, Emperor Gengshi was not a wise ruler. When he ruled Chang'an, the political situation was turbulent and the court was in chaos. He was eventually destroyed by the Red Eyebrow Army.

The Red Eyebrow Army... They were called righteous armies, but to put it bluntly, they were just a group of bandits. After they entered Chang'an City, they looted everywhere. Chang'an, which had already been ravaged by the war, became even more devastated because of their actions. The people no longer wanted to stay there and fled to other places.

At that time, it would take a lot of time to repair the palace and restore Chang'an's prosperity. It would take at least 10 to 20 years to achieve this goal. Liu Xiu would have to be stupid to make Chang'an, a dilapidated city with a small population, the capital.

However, since the capital was moved to Luoyang, although Chang'an began to gradually recover, the former imperial palace would not be repaired on a large scale.

Now with the rebellion of Li Jue and Guo Si, the imperial palace in Chang'an can hardly be described as glorious!

But Xing Daorong saw that under the sunlight, the palace had a unique charm that made people excited.
