When Lu Bu arrived outside Luoyang City, the fire in Luoyang City could no longer be saved. The players who worked hard to knock down the city gate and were ready to make a great contribution were at a loss now. This situation was beyond their expectations.
However, Lu Bu did not disappoint these players and promised generous rewards. Although the players' approach eventually destroyed Luoyang, their original intention was not like this. It was just that things were out of control. However, the burning of Luoyang by the fire undoubtedly brought the war to the end of Yuan Shu quickly, which was very consistent with Pang Yuan's strategic concept, so they should receive the reward.
Lu Bu's troops were southeast of Luoyang, and there was a wind here, but they still had to retreat a long way. Lu Bu asked someone to send the news back to Dingtao as soon as possible, asking Wang Yun to immediately ask the emperor to issue an edict to recruit Zhang Xun, Zhu Jun, Liu Xun and others. At the same time, Lu Bu also sent his envoy to send letters to the old generals of Yuan Shu who were stationed in Gong County, Yanshi, Yique and Hangu, promising that as long as they could be corrected, they would not blame him.
As for Yuan Shu's whereabouts, countless evidences show that the gate of the palace city had never been opened. Yuan Shu, his loyal guards, and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were all turned to ashes with this huge cremation.
For Lu Bu, as long as Yuan Shu dies in name only. After Yuan Shu's subordinates surrender or are defeated, they don't care what Yuan Shu plays in resurrection of Lu Bu. At worst, they can kill him again.
"Fuqing. Do you think Luoyang has bad feng shui? How long has it been, it has been a few chaos and destroyed twice. Someone thinks it is really not suitable for this place to be a capital."
"Haha, from a strategic point of view, this place is not suitable as a capital, it is a dead place! On the contrary, Chang'an is suitable as a capital. However, no matter where it is a capital, when a dynasty has lost its heart and becomes angry and resentful, no matter how good the geographical location is, it is useless."
"Well said! Now that Yuan Shu is dead, the Sili war is over. How should we take this end?"
"It's very simple. Please issue an edict to exempt Yuan Shu from the crimes deployed by him. Then adjust appropriately. If you can take it for yourself, you should make full use of what you can. If you can't, give him a free position. Issuing an edict to Liu Bei, asking him to withdraw from the Yin of Henan and give the position of the prefect of Yingchuan to Liu Bei. Then send the prefect of Runan to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei fight with Cao Cao. At the same time, our army will return to the east and stabilize the eastern front. The next step is to deal with Gongsun Zan."
"Isn't it Dong Zhuo?" Lu Bu looked west hatefully.
"Dong Zhuo's military power is now strong. If we go to war with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao at the same time, it will definitely be a besieged again. Therefore, isn't it more beneficial to temporarily repair Dong Zhuo, form a alliance with Liu Bei, and promote Yuan Shao to annihilate Gongsun Zan?"
Lu Bu frowned, and finally nodded slightly unwillingly: "Okay, I'll listen to Fuqing. What should I do in the future of Sili?"
"General, it is easy to misunderstand what to do with Sili in the future. What should be Wang Situ's responsibility. From a military perspective, the troops stationed around Luoyang to guard against enemy invasions, and the heavy troops were in Hangu and Mengjin to prepare for the future northward and westward attacks. The central region should strictly prevent Cao Cao. Liu Bei was burdened by his reputation and dared not make any changes."
"Some family asked, what should Sili do?"
"General, Wang Situ is planning this matter. We should not speak first. After they come up, we will respond based on the situation. Of course, I personally think it is appropriate for Chen Gong to be the Henan Yin, right!"
"Haha, it's true, some family thinks so too."
"What about the prefect Chenliu?"
"How about Chen Qun?"
"Chen Qun? The Chen Qun who was recommended by Chen Gong recently?"
"Yes, Chen Qun, who is now the Chief of the Chenliu County Magistrate."
"Since you and the office are optimistic, then let's just let him do it. Please help you and Wang Situ plan it."
"No hurry, let's take a look at Wang Situ's thoughts first. General, now there are Dingtao courts, so we should be more cautious, at least not be someone who breaks the rules."
"Well, let's get the regaining of these things."
The situation in Sili caught everyone off guard by the rapid change.
Yuan Shu died, Yang Hong disappeared, Yan Xiang, Li Feng, Yuan Huan, and General Yang were captured by Lu Bu, and then he followed the emperor. Other generals stationed in various places, including Liu Xun from Hangu Pass, Lei Bo from Yique, Leju from Mengjin, Zhang Xun from Chenggao, Han Xian from Yanshi, Yu She and Chen Ji from Guancheng, all received the emperor's edict, and most of them were ordered by Zhu Jun to hang the seal and step down, and he resolutely refused to become an official.
Ji Ling from Huainan was the most loyal to Yuan Shu. The entire army surrendered to Cao Cao, preparing to attack Lu Bu in the future and reward his lord. Those who followed Ji Ling to surrender to Cao Cao were Yuan Yin, Qiao Rui, Chen Lan, Han Hao and others.
Some of the armies in Yingchuan County fled to Chenliu, while others followed Ji Ling. Except for Liu Bei, he caught the territory, and no general was caught.
Lu Bu quickly accepted these troops and generals, and the emperor also sent a letter of edict to dismiss these generals one by one. By the way, he appointed Wei Yan as the prefect of Yingchuan and Zhang Fei as the prefect of Runan, which clearly asked Liu Bei to fight with Cao Cao.
Pang Yuan left Lu Bu, who was cleaning up the situation in Sili, and rushed back to Dingtao alone to meet Wang Yun to discuss his internal personnel arrangements.
"Wang Situ, time is tight, so I'm not polite. What does Wang Situ think about the candidates for Henan Yin? Also, Dongjun, Dongpingjun, Shanyangjun and Renchengjun will consider it together. Take this opportunity to adjust the administrative structure."
"What do you think of the general?"
"You both have asked this question, how do you answer?"
Wang Yun smiled and said, "He understood what Pang Yuan wanted to convey."
"The court is now a time to use people, and now there are many major wars, so local changes should not be large. The prefect of Jiyin County asked Tao Qian to come, and this person is steady and can be relied on."
"feasible!"
"Liang County is still Jushu, and the front line is better for military and political integration. Similarly, Dongping County is wronged and Fuqing takes responsibility."
"I dare not do it, I should do it."
"How about Zhao Yu, Rencheng County?"
"Can!"
"Dongjun is also a key place. How about Bao Xin?"
"Yes, haha." Wang Yun's arrangement is very interesting.
"As for Shanyang, just Zhang Chao!"
"The way of balance. I agree!"
"Then in the end, it's Henan Yin and Chen Liu. Chen Gongtai is undoubtedly the best candidate for Henan Yin. If I'm not guessing correctly, Fuqing's next target is Gongsun Zan?"
"Mr. Situ wise!"
"Since that's the case, Fuqing and the Gongtai will also exchange defense zones. Therefore, it is certain that the Gongtai will serve as Henan Yin. The question is that Chen Liu is also very important. Who should serve as the prefect?"
"Haha, this is the main purpose of my subordinates here. Wang Situ has a good candidate?"
Wang Yun stroked his beard without making a sound. After a long time, the candlelight beside him shook slightly, and suddenly a slight explosion sounded. It seemed to wake up Wang Yun who was thinking.
"Fuqing, I understand what you mean. You don't have to be so cautious about Fuqing. I am not a fool. I know what the situation is now. It is necessary to let Fengxian take over power. If the power is dispersed now, it is definitely a dead end. I have no intention of fighting for power with my son-in-law. As long as Fengxian takes the emperor as the emperor, I will firmly support Fengxian."
Pang Yuan smiled slightly and nodded, "It would be great that Wang Situ can support him at the same time. So I don't hide it. The court is like an extra burden for generals now. However, does the court have its own abilities? It is obviously a matter of unity, because the court should do more now to bring people together. To put it bluntly, even if the general wants to have any evil in the future, it will be a matter in the future. At least now everyone must work together to defeat the heroes of the lords who are coveting their ranks."
"Just that's why, I'm not skeptical about Fengxian, but I should try my best to avoid bad situations."
"So, we proposed a plan to separate military and political forces and separate local guards and combat soldiers, but this is definitely not a chance for others to pull back. I hope you can observe it!"
"I understand! Then, after Chen Gongtai transferred to Henan Yin, will Chen Liu's prefect choose the re-celebration of the prefect?"
"Yes, Chenliu County Magistrate Chen Qun and Chen Changwen!"
"Chen Qun? The son of Chen Ji, the Great Honglu?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"Well, this guy has no lack of talent, experience."
"Just give him a sophisticated county magistrate."
"Yuan Shu's old minister?"
"Yes, there are still people who can use them among these people, and the general will also reuse the generals."
"Yes, then what about Li Feng? The others will observe it in the court first."
"Wang Situ should try his best to fight for these people. Although they may have a leisurely personality, if Wang Situ does not fight for them, these people will run to the opposite side."
"I will consider this."
Pang Yuan looked at Wang Yun deeply, moved his lips, and finally held back. He said too much, which may have a counterproductive effect. Wang Yun is very stubborn and has a bit of political cleanliness. Such a person is actually not suitable to be a powerful minister in power. Fortunately, Lu Bu is still there to check and balance.
"It's so good, then the task here will be completed. There is another letter here for the emperor. Please pass it on to Lord Situ on his behalf. I will go to the General's Mansion to deliver the letter. After that, I will rush back to Luoyang overnight and stay soon!"
Wang Yun politely sent Pang Yuan to the door. Looking at Pang Yuan's hurried away figure, Wang Yun's expression was very complicated. As the status and the situation changed, Wang Yun's authority became heavier and he became more and more cautious. However, from Lu Bu's concerns at the beginning to Pang Yuan's desire to speak just now, Wang Yun found that his personality was slowly recovering, gradually manifested in political behavior. Is this situation good or bad?
The next morning, the Dingtao court quickly passed a series of appointments and removals from people, and took advantage of the opportunity of defeating Yuan Shu to adjust the local government structure and straighten out the administrative structure of the court.
In the next few days, Lu Bu's army also returned eastward with Chen Gong and Wei Xu, while Gao Lan stayed in Mengjin, Hou Cheng was in Hangu Pass, Liu Xun replaced defense to Puyang, and Zhang Xun followed Lu Bu. Yu She was added to Jushu's corps, and other surrendered generals were all under the command of Chen Gong.
Chapter completed!
