Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu. In fact, there was a clear answer to this question: "The teacher's book has said that it is appropriate to bring in some people who are good at fighting. After all, the imperial court is now in a period of employing people."

In Lu Zhi's letter to Liu Bei, he mentioned that Liu Bei could bring some elite soldiers to Beijing. Although Liu Bei's soldiers were not regular soldiers, he had recruited local braves since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and to this day, he has

Years later, there was no doubt that there would be a group of elites who were good at fighting. With a little training, these people would become an elite army. It would be a pity to abandon them like that, so Lu Zhi asked them to be brought into the capital together.

As for whether Liu Bei will gain more power because of these soldiers and horses... Don't be kidding, how many elites can Liu Bei have under his command? Although the court does not have many soldiers and horses, it is a matter of competition, maybe in the northwest

Li Jue, Guo Si, Ma Teng, and Han Sui all had large numbers of soldiers and horses, and their strength was far superior to that of the imperial court.

But compared with the soldiers and horses in the hands of Liu Bei, a mere plain commander, they are much stronger.

After listening to the details in Liu Bei's letter, Guan Yu thought about it for a while and then suggested: "The soldiers in the army are mostly veterans who have been with the eldest brother for several years. They are all elite. It would be a pity to abandon them. If they are given to others, the eldest brother will be the best."

Several years of business have been ruined in one fell swoop. Since we have been told, why not just take the elite and take them away."

Guan Yu also saw the situation, so he made a suggestion. After Liu Bei nodded in approval, he asked Guan Yu and Jian Yong to pick out the elite soldiers under his tent, then gathered their weapons and equipment, and equipped the last selected elite soldiers.

Bring them all into Beijing.

In the end, after working hard for several days, more than 200 elite soldiers were selected. Zhang Fei also selected some more elite soldiers to collect 300. Everyone was wearing scavenged leather armor and holding brand-new weapons. They were really elite for that battle.

The appearance of a strong soldier.

Guan Yu also selected fifty elites from among them, each equipped with a ring-shaped sword, to serve as personal guards to protect Liu Bei. According to the custom at this time, even if Liu Bei went to Beijing to serve as a civil servant, it was normal for him to keep some personal guards.

Therefore, these fifty are not only the best warriors, but also have the best weapons.

After such preparations, summer was gradually passing. At this time, there were signs of civil strife in the coalition forces due to their lack of success for a long time. Seeing this situation, Liu Bei was even more unwilling to stay for a long time, and handed over all his remaining troops to Gongsun Zan.

He led three hundred elite soldiers, his brothers and Jian Yong to the west to Chang'an.

At that time, Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Bei had been called up by the imperial court. He also wished Liu Bei a safe journey and sent dozens of good horses, brand-new weapons and some grain and grass. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, he began to wonder if there was any point in staying here.

?

After Liu Bei set off, Jian Yong took the letter and rushed to Chang'an first. He drove slowly behind with his people. He estimated that he would arrive in Chang'an in the autumn. He was also quite worried about what would happen after arriving in Chang'an, but he only

I felt that I would gain a lot from this trip to Chang'an. If I could get recognition from the Han Dynasty, then my trip to Beijing would not be in vain.

Little did he know that not long after he left, civil strife broke out again in Luoyang City. After Dong Zhuo's death, his generals formed various factions and their troops were dissatisfied with each other. Today, there was a conflict over some trivial matter, which resulted in the soldiers in the city being divided.

There was a chaotic fight among the horses, and some people took advantage of the chaos to do dirty things. For a while, Luoyang City was in chaos. Those who robbed, set fires, sought revenge, and raped women. All kinds of things made Luoyang City more and more angry.

Chaos, if Sun Jian hadn't taken the opportunity to attack the city when he saw something was wrong, no one knows what Luoyang would have turned into in the end.

Luoyang City was broken, and the remnants of Dong Zhuo's forces in the city came to their senses and fled in all directions. However, most of them were killed by the coalition forces guarding outside. In the end, not many people escaped, and most of them escaped into the mountains and forests.

Grass.

Of course, a small group of people such as Xu Rong, Fan Chou and others escaped with their troops and horses. It seems that they wanted to go south to find Zhang Ji. These two people were elite soldiers and were extremely brave themselves. In addition, when the coalition forces saw Luoyang City

They were all vying to get into the city, but they were unwilling to fight to the death, and finally managed to find a bloody way to escape.

When the news reached Chang'an, Liu Bei had not yet arrived. Liu Xuan looked at the memorial in his hand and knew that Sun Jian would soon find the imperial seal, and then there would be a battle between him and Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

"Huh? Jingzhou's power is deeply rooted, why not use the Sun family to get rid of it?"

After much deliberation, if this was the case, it would be best to ignore Sun Jian. Anyway, on this trip south, Sun Jian definitely had a conflict with Liu Biao. After the two families became mortal enemies, the Sun family would fight endlessly against Liu Biao in Jingzhou - only non-stop

Only by fighting can the elite talents of the Jingzhou gentry be consumed.

In the end, he took advantage of his weakness and wiped it out in one fell swoop. As for what would happen if Jingzhou was occupied by the Sun family? Liu Xuan was not afraid of it. At worst, he would have to fight back. If he was afraid of that, he would not give up all the places and only control the area around Chang'an.

Already.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan no longer paid attention to the affairs of the coalition forces. What concerned him was that after the coalition forces captured Luoyang, the palace in Luoyan City had been completely ruined. During this period, those guys took turns destroying Luoyang Palace.

After all the misfortune, when the city was finally defeated, I don't know who thought of burning the palace to create chaos and took the opportunity to escape.

Not to mention, this method worked really well. After the coalition forces finally entered the city, they were all busy putting out the fire in the palace. There were really not many people chasing and killing these scattered troops.

However, the palace was not saved in the end, but compared to the original history when the entire Luoyang City was reduced to scorched earth, the current situation is still much better.

After Yuan Shao's army entered the city, he and Gongsun Zan were busy issuing orders to calm the people, and at the same time asking the soldiers to sort out the chaos in the city. At the same time, those who took advantage of the chaos to do evil things were caught and punished according to law. After ten days of busy work, Luoyang was finally restored.

Calm was restored.

But this way, another troublesome problem is placed in front of everyone... There is no one to govern Luoyang City now, so the court must appoint an official, right?

The coalition forces themselves did not dare to delay this matter, and immediately petitioned the imperial court to appoint the Luoyang Order. At the same time, many people petitioned for official positions themselves, mostly related to Luoyang - but these are not the most important.

The important thing is that countless people have come forward to ask the emperor to return the capital to Luoyang.

The reason is also very sufficient. They only say that the national traitor Dong Zhuo is dead and all the remaining party members have been wiped out. The emperor moved the capital to Chang'an originally to avoid disaster. Now that the disaster has been eliminated, he should return to Luoyang to govern the world. As for the issue of the imperial palace, they don't say a word.

I didn’t even mention it, just pretending it didn’t happen.

When he went to court, Liu Xuan asked his censor to read out these memorials one by one. Before he had finished reading half of them, Chao Zhongwen and Wu's faces didn't look so good.

These guys obviously didn't have any good intentions when they came to the table, especially those who urged the emperor to return to Luoyang. All of them begged for official positions in the table - all they wanted were official positions in Luoyang City.

These two things seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are closely related. The official titles these people want are not high, and some are even lower than their current titles, but why do they still want it? They just want to imitate Dong Zhuo and He Jin

, just holding the military power and controlling the court.

If Luoyang were the capital, then no matter how low-ranking these people were, they would be able to rise a few levels higher. No matter how many soldiers they had, there would be no suspense about achieving great things.

But which one of the civil and military officials in the court is an idiot? No one would agree. Especially when he thought that the purpose of these guys was to ride on his head and dominate, the faces of the princes in the court became more and more ugly.

When Liu Xuan saw that the faces of these people were all unimpressive, he felt that his goal had been achieved and waved his hand: "No need to read any more. How do you think this matter should be decided?"

Naturally, these words were asked for the opinions of the civil and military officials in the court, but everyone looked around and found that they really didn't have any good ideas.

Still all? That is naturally impossible. The emperor is now sitting in Chang'an, managing people's livelihood, training troops and horses, as if he is going to do something big. Before the things are done, he rushes back with a lot of people.

Luoyang?

What's more, now that the imperial court's power is limited and there are not many soldiers and horses, it can only take one side first, and then the other side. If we go to Luoyang, won't we be attacked on both sides?

Although the ministers in the DPRK are all scribes, they are not ignorant of military matters. Over the past few days, they have already guessed the emperor's general plan. From the various plans, it is obvious that the emperor will first occupy Yongliang, and then use the land of Guanzhong

As the foundation, he fought back to Guandong, and finally swept the world and restored the orthodoxy of the country.

After many civil and military officials saw this, they had no objection to establishing the capital in Chang'an. What's more, Chang'an was originally the capital of the Han Dynasty. From all aspects, there was no need to go back to the ruined Luoyang.

"The matter of returning the capital is quite inappropriate at this time. Your Majesty may ignore it."

In the end, it was Situ Wangyun who agreed to Liu Xuan's words. He could see the stakes involved, and since he was the most prestigious person in the court at this time, he naturally wanted him to speak first.

As soon as this statement came out, Taifu Yang Biao, Sili Colonel Huang Wan, and Sikong Zhang Wen all responded. However, Liu Xuan noticed that Taifu Yuan Wei had been silent, probably because there were two of his tribesmen in the coalition.

, unable to speak, had to pretend to be mute.

"Of course it's not possible to return them all. What we need to discuss now is who can be the Luoyang Order?"

Under the system of the Han Dynasty, a county with a population of more than 10,000 households had an order, and a county with a population of less than 10,000 households had a chief.

For example, Liu Bei is currently the magistrate of Pingyuan County, which means that Liu Bei governs a large county with more than 10,000 households. This level is higher than the county magistrate. Although Luoyang is the capital, the chief of a city is only Luoyang.

It's just a Yang Ling, but because of Luoyang's special circumstances, this Luoyang Ling is much better than the general magistrate of a large county - he can enter the court to discuss affairs and be directly responsible to the emperor.

This shows the specialness of the Luoyang Order. This is also the reason why some people want to ask for the Luoyang Order - but the problem is that if the imperial court is not in Luoyang, the Luoyang Order will be a bit useless. At most, its status will be low.

A little detached, but the real power is still controlled by Henan Yin.

There were so many messy joints, and the position of Luoyang was extremely sensitive. The civil and military officials in the court were really worried about who should serve as the Luoyang order. As a result, after much discussion, only two candidates were chosen.

"Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, and Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, can be Luoyang orders." However, if these two people serve as Luoyang orders, it seems a bit unreliable. It would be equivalent to demotion. In the end, Yuan Wei made the suggestion: "Since it is determined

The capital of Chang'an is to abolish Yin of Henan and replace him with the post of governor of Henan. How about appointing Kong Wen to govern Luoyang?"
