Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 471 The Trend of the World
Although the imperial palace in Chang'an was in ruins,
From the details, you can still see the exquisiteness of this palace in the past.

The vast palace complex sparkles under the sunlight, and the flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings all demonstrate exquisite craftsmanship.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were already waiting at the palace gate.

Seeing Xing Daorong looking up at the palace, it seemed as if he saw his previous appearance.

They both knew that Xing Daorong was not really looking at the palace, but at the Han Dynasty.
At this moment, they did not bother him. Only when Xing Daorong came back to his senses did they step forward and say, "Zi Yu, stop looking. His Majesty is waiting!"

Xing Daorong came back to his senses, but he hurried forward and shouted, "Go, go, go, don't let His Majesty wait."

As he spoke, he took Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, one in his left hand and the other in his right hand, and walked inside.

Seeing Liu Bei, with all the civil and military officials around him, Xing Daorong was about to bow to Liu Bei, but he saw Liu Bei walking towards him quickly, holding Xing Daorong in his arms, and exclaimed, "Zi Yu! My divine general!"

Xing Daorong felt embarrassed by the compliment, but he smiled innocently: "Your Majesty, I cannot bear the words of a divine general."

Liu Bei said seriously: "Of course I can't bear it. Even if Zi Yu went alone to cover my retreat and went to Tongguan to defend it for me, how could I recover the old capital?"

As he spoke, Liu Bei also looked around the hall and said, "Look, Zi Yu, hundreds of years ago, Emperor Gaozu unified the country here and established the Han Dynasty's 400-year foundation."

Xing Daorong could see that Liu Bei was very excited.

This is also normal.

To restore the ancestral heritage is what ordinary people long for every day, let alone emperors.

Then he heard Liu Bei say, "I intend to move the capital to Chang'an soon. What do you think, Zi Yu?"

Xing Daorong didn't expect that Liu Bei was so anxious to move the capital just after taking Chang'an.

Think about it.
This matter really cannot be rushed.

After all, just like Liu Xiu established his capital in Luoyang, Liu Bei had just captured Chang'an and his foundation was unstable, so it was not appropriate to move the capital in a hurry.

Xing Daorong said immediately: "Your Majesty, we should not rush into the matter of moving the capital. We need to consider it carefully."

After saying this, seeing that Liu Bei did not speak and was still somewhat hesitant, he continued, "Your Majesty, the fact that we have captured Chang'an will be known to the world in just a few days."

"Whether the capital is moved or not, it will not affect this matter. There is really no need to be anxious."

"It would be bad if we lose the big picture for the small and cause internal unrest."

"Your Majesty must not move the capital, but must return to Chengdu as soon as possible to calm people's hearts."

Liu Bei understood what Xing Daorong meant.

To put it bluntly, they are simply worried that people in Chengdu will become unstable and their status will be lost if the capital is moved.

When Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he had the support of Yizhou's noble families, especially people like Fa Zheng, who were extremely supportive.

Liu Bei has never been a person who would destroy the bridges after crossing them. The only person who did so was probably his adopted son Liu Feng.

Before Liu Bei became emperor, Liu Feng got nothing, which shows that he had completely fallen out of favor at that time.

It can't even be said to have fallen out of favor, it can be said to have been ignored.

However, this was also because Liu Feng did not do well at the time, which allowed Liu Bei to seize the opportunity. Otherwise, even if Liu Bei wanted to cross the river and destroy the bridge, it would not be so easy.

It’s just that the capital was moved too quickly. Even if Liu Bei himself didn’t have this idea, I’m afraid the Yizhou families would have some thoughts about it.

It’s not that even relocation is not possible.

But such a quick action makes people feel that it is a bit like crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

Liu Bei thought about it and felt that what Xing Daorong said was quite right, so he nodded and agreed, "Zi Yu is right. The situation is very good now, so it's not good to create trouble." "But there should be a general in Chang'an, so please ask Zi Yu to lead the troops here."

Xing Daorong had never intended to go back to Chengdu.

Now that Chang'an has been captured, not only have the people's hearts turned to Liu, but the general trend of the world has also begun to take shape.

The balance of opposition between the North and the South has clearly begun to tilt towards Liu Bei's side!

After Chang'an and Tongguan were captured, Cao Pi certainly could no longer stay in Xuchang, and he could not even keep Luoyang.

At that time, Xing Daorong sent troops from Tongguan, passed Hanguguan, passed Hongnong, and arrived in Luoyang.

Guan Yu led his troops from Wancheng, passed Yiyang and Luoshui, and arrived in Luoyang.

兵锋
It’s simply impossible to resist!
Speaking of Jiangdong, after Zhuge Liang occupied Hefei, he sharpened his sword towards Shouchun.

After Shouchun, you will reach the entire Yuzhou plain.

Runan, Xuchang, Chenliu and Yingchuan are all under his attack!
Or go north to Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

The entire line from Pengcheng to Linzi was also under the threat of the Han army.

Of course, in a sense, Cao Pi could also attack from all directions.

But after capturing Chang'an, Liu Bei's troops could assist each other, instead of being thousands of miles apart and unable to assist each other as before.

At present, Liu Bei is stationed in Chengdu, and the entire Nanzhong and Sichuan are his rear supply bases.

Wancheng has supplies from Jingzhou, and Hefei has supplies from Jiangdong. These three places are said to be the front lines, but each of them relies on a strong rear area.

It is not easy to defeat them one by one, not to mention that they can even support each other now.

After losing Wancheng and Chang'an successively, Cao Pi had begun to move towards defeat.

Liu Bei was finally persuaded by Xing Daorong and gave up his impulsive idea of ​​moving the capital.

However, since Xing Daorong had settled in Chang'an, he naturally had to bring his family here.

Fan Yufeng and others had long been accustomed to this kind of life, and as the general was transferred, they naturally had to go with him.

But what?
They never walked alone. When they left, as Xing Daorong was transferred, they were often accompanied by others.

This time is no exception.

From Jiangdong to Chang'an, he was accompanied by Bao Long, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others.

However, it is not just these old generals of Xing Daorong. There is also one person who was personally selected by Xing Daorong and must be brought.

Who?
This is the Zhang Liao that Xing Daorong had thought about several times.
However, although others may not understand Zhang Liao's position in Xing Daorong's heart, his old subordinates such as Bao Long are clear about it.

Bao Long had also heard about the several attempts to persuade Zhang Liao to surrender.

In his heart
There's nothing special about Zhang Liao, so why bother about him so much?

Especially since the Cao family is the only rival now, Bao Long has even more ordinary thoughts about Zhang Liao.

But after all, it was his own general who specifically named him, so he couldn't say anything excessive to him.

He said sullenly: "The general is the same. He values ​​talent so much, but others don't appreciate it. Why should he work harder?"

Although Bao Long didn't dare to go too far with Zhang Liao, he had no scruples when speaking.

He even said it specifically for Zhang Liao to hear, whether to vent his anger or to make him more sensible.
