In October, the leaves are yellow and the cold wind is bleak.

In the past two months, another rain broke out, and the washed away Chang'an city became much cleaner. The blood stains that were originally stained everywhere became diluted and the epidemic had dissipated.

Nowadays, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers from Zhang Liao, some court officials such as Sun Rui, as well as officials such as Lu Su.

Zhang Liao took the opportunity to let Huang Zhong train his troops, become familiar with the combat power of soldiers, and run in tactics and tactics so that he can truly exert the combat power of soldiers in the subsequent battle.

At the head of Chang'an city, Zhang Liao looked west from afar. The order he gave to Li Ru was to cause chaos, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and to let the emperor come out and return to Wu Dong. Judging from the news from Li Ru, the purpose has been achieved.

Zhang Liao was not at peace when he took the emperor to make the princes imminent.

He has been thinking about these days. Standing at his position, now he is thinking about the court and the world.

In this world, the literati and officials need a court to realize their political ideals, power and ambitions, and they are also jobs to earn salaries to make ends meet.

The court also needs to rely on the literati and officials. A court that literati and officials do not agree with will be an official and it will be difficult to issue government orders, which is equivalent to none.

The essence of the court is a community of interests recognized by the people of the world. The difference is only who leads. When a group does not agree with the court, chaos will arise.

He came from later generations and focused on China. He did not want to die for the sake of loyalty to the Han court. However, although the Han Dynasty is declining today, it is different from the Qin State four hundred years ago. The Qin State is tyrannical and harsh in the world, so he has opposition. However, the Han Dynasty has kindness to the world, especially the Confucian scholars and officials.

This is not Zhang Liao's speculation, but what he truly felt during his conversation with everyone. Many visionary scholars and officials realized that now that the time is in Jishi, the Han Dynasty is about to end, but they all believe that the Han Dynasty has not been violent with Jie and Zhou, and the harshness of Qin, and the time to replace it is not yet. Therefore, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and betrayed his relatives and divorced, but Yuan Shao did not dare to take that step in engraving the seal.

Not everyone is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but few people dare to betray him. In history, Lu Su's two-part world and Zhuge Liang's three-part world were not targeted by the Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Zhang Liao to be independent now. Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Ju Su all used the emperor to command the princes to command the princes, which only showed that the emperor to command the princes was of great use to his development strategy and was an opportunity for him to break through the current bottleneck and be recognized by the world.

But as a lord, his position and thinking angle will inevitably be different from his subordinates. He will have the greatest influence on him. Once implemented, he will definitely take the same path as Cao Cao in history, because the emperor and powerful ministers have always been opposite.

The emperor seems to be consistent with the interests of the emperor, but in fact, from the moment of his action, he began to embark on a certain path of opposition with the emperor. It is only a matter of time before and after a breakup.

In the later period, Cao Cao controlled the emperor and became bigger step by step. It was a need for ambition. It was also a must. If he did not control the court, the Cao family would be destroyed in the struggle of the court. Since ancient times, the Tian family was ruthless. In addition, the various forces in the court played against each other, and the tragedy of killing meritorious officials were everywhere. Because powerful ministers deprived of some of the emperor of the emperor, they also blocked the path for many ambitious officials to advance.

Therefore, Zhang Liao had to think carefully, and it was imperative to use the emperor to make the princes strategically, but how to act and how to make the honeymoon longer take means.

Zhang Liao has already started to use this method. His order to Li Ru this time was to make the more chaotic Youfufeng, the better. The more chaotic the warlords, the more dangerous the situation of Liu Xie will be, and the more obvious the effect of his actions will be. Liu Xie will be more grateful to himself. Otherwise, he may not be grateful if he saves Liu Xie easily. This is human nature, and the emperor is no exception.

Only in this way can the honeymoon period be longer. The longer the honeymoon period, the greater the effect on one's own development, and the faster the process of stabilizing the world.

No wonder Zhang Liao planned. If Liu Xie was an honest and inactive master like Liu Chan, he would not have to do anything at all. But Liu Xie was an idea-wise master, and he was restless. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have to take up the butcher knife several times in history.

Fortunately, Liu Xie is not a courageous lord. He is not as cruel as Liu Che, Li Shimin and Xuanye. He acts kindly and knows how to compromise and lacks blood. In history, his wife and children are killed and dare not fight to the death. It is relatively easy to cooperate. Otherwise, Zhang Liao would not consider saving people at all, but instead kills people with a knife and exchanges for support from others.

Of course, if another emperor is replaced, it is difficult to determine his temperament and it is also a bit troublesome.

Zhang Liao thought about the civil officials and military generals under his command. Civil officials such as Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Tian Yi and others would definitely follow him with a firm heart. No matter what he did, it would not change. It is hard for Xun Yu and Xun You to say that Zhang Ji, Du Ji and others should take one step at a time.

However, now his advisers can basically agree that he can do the first step of Qi Huan and Jinwen, and there will be some differences when going up.

In comparison, the loyalty of the military generals is beyond doubt. Whether it is Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Xu Rong, or a group of trusted lieutenants, they will support themselves without hesitation. This is where Zhang Liao is quite confident, and it is also his reliance on the princes. As long as the troops are firmly controlled, others will not be able to make trouble.

There are also reserve talents he has cultivated, including Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Fa Zheng and others, and their power will be stronger in the future.

In fact, Zhang Liao was not keen on being an emperor. For example, Cao Cao in history, when he reached his position and had such power, there was no difference between being an emperor or not. Instead, he was more constrained by the emperor, and was constrained by countless people. Being a wise ruler, endless political affairs every day are enough to make people headache. Being a foolish ruler will open the harem and be filled with flowers and wine. If you are advised by countless wise ministers, villains will take the opportunity to take office and will also be troublesome.

Zhang Liao prefers to be stubborn, likes to visit friends, does not like to be bound, is lazy and self-reliant, does whatever you want, goes wherever you want, and beats whoever you want.

But now he also realized that when you reach a certain position and an opportunity, you are involuntarily involuntarily. A large wave of followers need to go further. At that time, there will be advances but not retreats. If you retreat, you will be in a deep abyss. Therefore, you must be prepared for everything. Otherwise, the danger will be more terrifying than the battlefield. If you lose, your family will be destroyed. If you are as strong as Dong Zhuo, you will be destroyed and eventually destroyed. He Jin is not strong enough and dies at the hands of eunuchs.

Zhang Liao was thinking, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him. Sun Rui, Zhou Zhong and others hurried up, all with a look of worry.

"General." Shi Sun Rui said: "It has been two months now, I wonder what happened to the emperor?"

Zhang Liao said: "The emperor's carriage has already left the dock and is now coming to the east."

Shi Sun Rui and other ministers showed joy on their faces. Zhou Zhong hurriedly said, "The general is not ready to greet him. It is a great achievement to save the emperor. The general should also be a minister of the revival."

Zhang Liao shook his head: "I can't take action now. Although the emperor left the Muwu, he is still under the control of the thieves. Li Jue in the north, Zhang Ji in the south, Ma Teng Han Sui in the west, and Guo Si, Fan Chou, Yang Ding, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng participated in it. There are 200,000 troops. Our current guards in Chang'an are not worthy of justice. Most of these thieves have hatred for me. If I take action, they will definitely attack fiercely. At that time, not only will they not be able to save the emperor, but they will harm the emperor."

"Twenty-hundred thousand bandit soldiers..." Shi Sun Rui, Zhou Zhong and other ministers were still frightened when they heard this number again.

Shi Sun Rui sighed: "What the general said is reasonable, but can we wait here?"

Zhang Liao nodded: "Waiting is the best way. Ma Tenghan then was west of Mei County, and Li Jue stayed in Chiyang. So the closer to the front line of Chang'an, the weaker the force of the bandits would be. At that time, we would send troops at night to steal the emperor back, guard Chang'an City, and guard each other with Zuo Fengyi. The bandits had no food, so they would not be able to last long, so everything could be settled."

After hearing Zhang Liao's plan, Shi Sun Rui and others all showed joy on their faces and clasped their fists and said, "The general's plan is very wonderful."

Zhang Liao shook his head, "I only have one worry, which will lead to a failure of the plan."

Shi Sun Rui hurriedly said, "But you have any worries? We can also do our best."

Zhang Liao sighed and said slowly: "I am afraid that the emperor will return to the old capital of Luoyang in the east, rather than returning to Chang'an."

Shi Sun Rui and other court officials were all disgusted. They had been in the court for a long time and naturally understood the emperor's ideas better. They had to admit that Zhang Liao's speculation was very likely.
