Chapter 84 Return to Luoyang
Hearing Liu Bin say this, everyone finally couldn't sit still, and they knew that something must have happened. So Zhang Fei hurriedly asked, "Lord, what happened? Why did we suddenly withdraw our troops? We don't care about that traitor Dong Zhuo?" Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao all looked at Liu Bin with excitement. I don't know what the big thing was, but it could make the lord give up the big thing of attacking Dong Zhuo. Could it be... everyone couldn't help but think of a possibility in their hearts. But before they could tell this possibility, Liu Bin waved his hand and said, "No, who wants to deal with that traitor Dong Zhuo, who wants to deal with that traitor Dong Zhuo, should we deal with it. We are almost unable to protect ourselves now, so we still have time to deal with that Dong Zhuo."
He narrowed his eyes and said, "According to information, half a month ago, the dog thief Gongsun Zan colluded with Xianbei, Wuheng, Gongsun Du from western Liaoning, and Goguryeo, and many forces gathered 500,000 troops to besiege Youzhou. We are now going to work hard to return to help. We are all unable to protect ourselves, so we have no time to deal with Dong Zhuo."
"What? Gongsun Zan colluded with a 500,000 army and besieged Youzhou."
When Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao heard the news, they were shocked and like Zhao Yun who had just heard the news. This news was really unbelievable and difficult to accept. Youzhou has always been in an offensive, but he didn't expect it to be attacked to the hinterland, which really made them unacceptable. Moreover, this time, there were traitors who colluded with outsiders to deal with them. In the end, Huang Zhong was still serious and asked: "Lord. Is this news accurate? Is it confirmed?" Huang Zhong did not dare to report that the news was true. He was worried that someone would fake the news, so he asked this question. Guan Yu and others also looked at Liu Bin with an urgent look, hoping that Liu Bin would just joke with them again, and this matter was not true.
But Liu Bin sneered and said, "Of course it's true. Will anyone dare to joke about such things? This is the news from the three bureaus of the CIA, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the National Security Bureau at the same time. The people who broke through Youzhou for help were almost here, so it's certain that this matter is true."
Hearing Liu Bin's words, they knew that things had become a certain fact, and they couldn't help but curse Gongsun Zan. He actually colluded with foreign enemies and dealt with the people of the Han Dynasty while the Youzhou was empty. It was a very serious crime. The crime was unforgivable. He must be executed by Lingchi, eat his meat and drink his blood, so that he could vent his hatred in his heart. Or the same sentence, no matter when it was, traitors were always the most annoying person. Moreover, it was during the strong Han Dynasty.
Liu Bin waved his hand, stopped their curses, and said, "Okay, don't scold them anymore, you can't scold that dog thief to death. Everyone should save effort and prepare to return to the army. But don't worry, although the enemy has an army of 500,000 this time, it's not worth making a fuss. I've prepared for a long time, not afraid of him coming, but I'm afraid he won't come. Although there are many troops of 500,000, it can't break the defense of our Youzhou. As long as everyone follows the steps and follow their orders.
If you act, you can destroy them and defend our homeland. So you should do whatever you should do. Hansheng took his people to the grassland to make a big fuss, chasing the morale of the army, and cutting off the way out. Yun Changyide and Wenyuan, you obey Fengxiao's orders, escort the people and the intercepted gold, silver and jewelry, and slowly return. And I arranged everything in Luoyang and took the guards back to Youzhou first. As long as our army returns to Youzhou, those clowns will be able to break their fingers."
When everyone heard Liu Bin say this, they stopped the riot. Since the lord was still so calm and calm, everything was still in control. Since the lord had arranged everything, they had nothing to worry about, just do things according to the orders. Still the same sentence, although Liu Bin was not much old, his subordinates were full of confidence in him. As long as Liu Bin was still so calm, his subordinates would become calm and calm. This was the confidence brought to them by many battle experiences. So everyone bowed to Liu Bin and went out to prepare. Huang Zhong wanted to continue fighting seriously, so he supplemented some food and weapons in the camp and left directly. Guo Jia arranged personnel to go to the people to promote Liu Bin's will and promote the benefits of going to Youzhou.
According to Youzhou's policy, every ordinary person can get five acres of fertile land and subsidies from the government. In the first three years, there is no tax except for paying part of the fees for borrowing the government's equipment. Even after three years, the tax is very low, and various preferential conditions. These preferential conditions are a fatal temptation for ordinary people. Although the hometown is difficult to move, Luoyang has now become a ruin. There is a war here. Staying here is a dead end, so many people are willing to follow the Youzhou army after hearing this. Although they also have some doubts whether these benefits can be fulfilled, they have already lost their homes due to their trust in Liu Bin, a world-famous charity man, who has become homeless. Anyway, they have heard of the changes in Youzhou in recent years. Even if they don't get those benefits, they will not starve to death.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the others have now started organizing the people who are willing to follow them, register and prepare to return to Bingzhou, Youzhou. Some urgent people have even followed Zhang Liao's subordinates to Bingzhou first. As for the former Sili Army that had surrendered, the Xiliang Army has also rectified and re-executed their duties according to Liu Bin's orders and assisted the Youzhou Army to escort the people. One day later, the army finally returned to Luoyang. Those ordinary people saw that Luoyang was indeed burned into ruins and their homes no longer existed, and they all burst into tears.
In this era, home is an extremely important thing for the people. Having a home means having a heritage. Without a home, you can only wander around. Even if you die, you can only be a lonely ghost. Without a home, the world is so big, how can you have a place for them? Fortunately, at this time, the King of Jin from Youzhou is willing to accept them. At this time, they really had the plan to go to Youzhou. Even if people who did not have this plan at the beginning, they decided to do this. In addition to some elderly people, for them, they were already people who stepped into the coffin and could not leave their hometown. The leaves fell back to their roots. Why did they have to run so far to Youzhou again? So they decided to stay in Luoyang and spend the rest of their lives.
Liu Bin refused to argue about this. To put it against his will, the reason why he wanted to bring these people to Luoyang was that he had the idea of living a life with these people, but most of the time, he still reformed Youzhou for himself and it was too early to do so. Population is productivity, and with population, there is hope. Only with population can there be strong productivity. These old people are no longer valuable now, and going to Youzhou will not be of much help to the development of Youzhou. On the contrary, Youzhou will also spend money and food for them and drag down Youzhou. If they don’t go to Youzhou, it is a good thing for their teammate Zhou. Of course, he will not strictly order these old people to go to Youzhou, nor will he stop the decisions of these old people. Everything has to be decided by these people.
Liu Bin and the others rushed to Luoyang, but the situation in Luoyang was different at this time. When Liu Bin and his friends were pursuing the Xiliang army, the vassal coalition forces also began to take action. Since Liu Bin pursued Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, Luoyang became an open space. Although Luoyang had been burned into ruins by Dong Zhuo, it was no matter how hard it was to say that this Han Dynasty's capital. Their ability to capture Luoyang also means that they had gained a lot in this war to attack Dong Zhuo. Although even this Luoyang City, which had become a ruin, was left to them by Liu Bin, not by them themselves. However, they had forgotten this matter.
After Liu Bin left, they left Hulao Pass and began to enter Luoyang. The first person to enter Luoyang was Sun Jian's troops. This time, Liu Bin pursued Dong Zhuo without taking Sun Jian with him, and Sun Jian remained in the camp of the princes. He was still the vanguard general of the coalition of the princes, so he was the first to enter the city. Then the other princes also entered Luoyang respectively, but after arriving in Luoyang, they all had a tacit understanding and did not continue to move forward, so they stayed in Luoyang. There were two main reasons for their doing this.
The first one naturally doesn't want to embarrass themselves anymore. They are not going to compete for credit with Liu Bin. Anyway, occupying Luoyang is already a great contribution. If they run to the front to compete for credit with Liu Bin, if the battle is not going well, they still have to ask for credit with Liu Bin. They are all well-known big men, so they naturally pay attention to their face and do not want to embarrass people again and again in front of Liu Bin. Since Liu Bin wants to pursue Dong Zhuo, then go. Anyway, the Han Dynasty is also their surname is Liu, so it is worth it to be his strength.
The second reason is naturally that Liu Bin and Dong Zhuo fought both sides and died together. Although Liu Bin's Youzhou army has always been stronger than Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army in the battles between Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, and this time the Xiliang army took the initiative to retreat, but the west of Hangu Pass are Dong Zhuo's nests, and they have no way out. If Liu Bin insists on extermination of the Xiliang army, it is difficult to guarantee that the Xiliang army will not fight to the death with the Youzhou army. Although the Youzhou army is so elite, the number of people is too small. With the other party holding a desperate intention, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no major losses. In that case, it will be time for them to show their power. So they are naturally not in a hurry.
