Chapter 1063: Heroes Enter Luoyang
After dividing the supplies, the princes returned to their state of politeness, as if they weren't the ones who were fighting with red faces just now.
After distributing the supplies, Cao Cao coughed again, and said mysteriously: "Everyone, the Sili land has been ravaged by Dong thieves for a long time, and it is no longer stable and harmonious. The thieves are reborn, and the bandits are rampant. For the sake of safety, I suggest that we On the return journey, we will still join our forces together, and beware of thieves and plunder."
"What? Brother Mengde, you are not joking, are you? What is a mere thief?"
Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao in surprise, his face full of disbelief.
In his head, he really couldn't imagine any thieves against the sky who dared to rob the five princes. If all the thieves from all over the world gathered, they might not be able to stop the Bingzhou wolves from charging forward as a group, right?
"Ahem, ahem, my lord, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, and it is better to follow General Cao's advice."
Chen Gong, who was behind Lu Bu, coughed a few times, walked to Lu Bu's side in two steps, and said in a low voice.
"What Brother Meng De said is true. Our soldiers will be exhausted. We really need to be careful."
"Yes, yes, according to what Brother Meng De and Ning Hou said."
………………
What surprised Lu Bu was that not only Chen Gong, but also Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Shang Ji all agreed to Cao Cao's proposal with serious faces, as if some bandits were sharpening their knives on the way home.
"My lord, this bandit is not that bandit, but the bandits from the Eastern Kwantung."
Seeing that Lu Bu still didn't understand, Chen Gong had no choice but to whisper in his ear.
At last Lv Bu was not stupid enough, and under Chen Gong's advice, he realized that the "thieves" Cao Cao was referring to were a group of princes headed by Yuan Shao!
Shang Ji and the others have defeated Dong Zhuo here, and their mouths are full of oil. It would be strange if those princes had no other ideas!
In order to annihilate Dong Zhuo's army, the five-way allied forces suffered heavy losses. If the Yuan's allied forces took advantage of the money and directly fought a decisive battle, they might have been plotted against.
However, Cao Cao's proposal of a joint operation of the five armies can perfectly solve this problem. If the Yuan's coalition forces really ate the courage of leopards and dared to eat black, five or six hundred thousand troops with the lowest eighth rank would be enough to make them regret their intestines!
Because the battlefield of the decisive battle between the coalition forces and Dong Zhuo was in Kuicheng, Hanoi County, this battle was also called the Battle of Kuicheng, and the secret covenant jointly formulated by the five people was also called "Kuicheng Secret Treaty".
After signing the "Secret Treaty of Sunflower City", the coalition forces set off in a mighty way and embarked on the return journey.
When they came, the flying cavalry rushed forward, and when they returned, they were heavily loaded, and their marching speed plummeted. It took five days to return to Luoyang.
As soon as he arrived in Luoyang, Shang Ji received a piece of bad news.
Diao Chan led his army and withdrew from Luoyang overnight the day before Shang Ji returned. At this time, Diao Chan should have passed Hangu Pass.
"My lord, this is a letter from General Diao Chan to my lord." Lu Kuang, who was in charge of guarding Luoyang City, presented a letter.
Shang Ji took it, only to see the four big characters "Ninghou Qinqi" written on the cover, with silver hooks and iron paintings, majestic and majestic, it can't be seen that it was made by a woman.
Shang Ji took it apart and looked at it. The content of the letter was not long. First of all, he congratulated Shang Ji for his final victory in the battle against Dong; .
Of course, Diao Chan didn't break her promise, and she also sent the Chuanguo Yuxi that she promised at the beginning. What's even more commendable is that she didn't say anything about it. pot.
By the way, Mrs. Fan entrusted Mrs. Fan to hand over Shang Ji's imperial jade seal. As for why Mrs. Fan handed it over—according to the gossip information obtained by Shang Ji, Mrs. Fan seems to have fallen in love with Mr. Zhao, and is currently launching a fierce offensive. It is said that the invincible Zhao Zilong was beaten to the point of throwing away his helmet and armor.
At present, I am using the method of evading Dafa and avoiding seeing it.
Because of this, Mrs. Fan did not follow Diaochan to Chang'an, but stayed in Luoyang, and it is very likely that she will chase her to Pingzhou.
"My lord, Diao Chan has taken away the little emperor and the entire court team."
At the end, Lu Bu added another introduction to Shang Ji.
Shang Ji nodded and said nothing, this matter was within the scope of the two people's negotiation at the beginning, Shang Ji wanted to pass on the imperial seal, and Diao Chan wanted the little emperor.
"How is the demolition work in Luoyang City going?"
"All Class A buildings have been demolished, less than half of Class B buildings have been demolished, and less than 30% of Class C buildings have been demolished. In addition, after Diao Chan took all of them away, we were short of manpower, and the speed of demolition plummeted."
Lu Bu replied helplessly.
The so-called Class A buildings, that is, unique and special buildings, are also the buildings with the highest priority for demolition according to Shangji. Class B is a non-unique special building, and Class C is an ordinary building, but they are all very high-level and relatively rare ordinary buildings.
As for the lower-level conventional buildings, Shang Ji had no time to demolish them.
The time is still too tight. The huge Luoyang City really wants to be completely demolished. With the current manpower, it can't be demolished in three to five years. Shang Ji can only give priority to dismantling key projects with high value.
"Try to disassemble as much as you can, we are running out of time."
Shang Ji sighed and said a little helplessly.
"My lord, the army of princes led by Yuan Shao has arrived at the capital pavilion. Yuan Shao sent a message to ask my lord to prepare for the response."
As soon as Shang Ji finished speaking, a school lieutenant rushed over to report respectfully.
Shang Ji exchanged glances with Guo Jia and the others beside him, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What should come will eventually come, the good times are coming to an end!"
The coalition forces approached aggressively, which was also the main reason why Diao Chan withdrew from Luoyang overnight without hesitating to give up some of his belongings.
Diao Chan's identity is a bit embarrassing. In the eyes of the coalition forces, she is Dong Zhuo's core direct descendant. Although she has defected in name and made important contributions to defeating Dong Zhuo, she still cannot wash away the label of Dong Zhuo's family on her body.
Just like Italy in World War II, even if he got cold feet, he was still on the list of defeated countries!
When the princes gather in Luoyang, Shang Ji is the only one who is likely to favor Diaochan. Even if the other princes don't make trouble, they will mostly stand on the sidelines.
And Diao Chan ate too much fat this time, I don't know how many people are staring at her, it's hard to say whether the princes will unite to kill her in Luoyang City under the influence of greed, and then annex her army.
At least Cao Cao, who already regarded Sili as his own pocket, would shout the slogan "eliminate all evil and do everything" to fool the coalition forces into eradicating Diao Chan, the "remnant of Dong thief".
Diao Chan was very self-aware, she withdrew from Luoyang City overnight, Feng Pan Chang'an, firmly controlled Hangu Pass, and with the little emperor in hand, the princes could only bear with it no matter how displeased they were.
"Oh, it's time to go home!"
Looking at the majestic but somewhat desolate Luoyang City, Shang Ji sighed, thinking silently in his heart.
