Chapter 355: Return to Luoyang

In October of the second year of Xingping, the second year of Han Xingping, Sun Quan and Sun Jing led the Yuzhou army and the Sun family to a total of more than 10,000 people to Moling. Zhou Yu, the governor of Yangzhou, sent general Zhao Yun to lead two thousand light cavalry across the river to welcome him. After a secret talk with Moling, Zhou Yu sent people to find an empty house in Moling City and renovated it. Welcoming Mrs. Sun Ce, Sun Ce's husband *** Qiao, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang, Sun Shangxiang and others moved in.

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan chose a date to set up a terrain outside the city, and took the stage to join in blood as an alliance, and officially became sworn brothers of different surnames. Because Zhou Yu had already become sworn brothers with Gan Ning and Zang Ba were the first, the four of them were called brothers and sorted by age. Zhou Yu was the brother, the second brother was Gan Ning, the third brother was Zang Ba, and the fourth brother was Sun Quan.

The swornship between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan is of far-reaching significance. It not only means that the Yuzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army have officially merged into one, but also means that Sun Quan has given up the idea of ​​wanting to be one side. It also means that the Sun family will survive under the protection of Zhou Yu in the future. The Sun family and the Zhou family have already shared honor and disgrace and are in harmony.

Subsequently, Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Sun Quan as a member of Yangzhou, and his status in Yangzhou was second only to Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu was not around, he could take over the position of governor of Zhou Yu and issue military and political orders. Sun Jing was called the prefect of Guangling. Because Guangling County was still in the hands of Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son, Sun Jing temporarily lived in Moling. Cheng Pu was called General Zhaowu, and Zhou Yu agreed to form the Yuzhou camp and handed over to Cheng Pu to command, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, Han Dang, Sun Ben, Sun Fu, and Sun Hao were all captains in the camp. The Yuzhou camp was stationed in Hefei to defend against Yuan Shu's men in Shouchun. The troops of Xu Sheng Niuzhu camp who was originally stationed in Hefei returned to Yinling to guard.

As for Lu Fan, who had always favored Zhou Yu, he was also appointed as the chief secretary of the provincial governor's office by Zhou Yu, and helped him counsel the military and convey political orders with Zhuge Jin.

Zhou Yu's arrangement not only highlighted Sun Quan's second position in Jiangdong, showed his importance to the Sun family, and reasonably separated Sun Quan from the Yuzhou army. From then on, the Yuzhou army no longer existed, and only in the Yuzhou camp in the Yangzhou army. In order to avoid chaos, Zhou Yu promoted Cheng Pu to general and led the Yuzhou generals to calm the hearts of the people. As for Sun Ce's right-hand man Lu Fan, he was also a good friend of Zhou Yu. His cooperation with Zhuge Jin will inevitably make Zhou Yu much easier. Everyone knows that the position of the chief minister is very important, and no one can hold this position without a confidant. This move also shows Zhou Yu's generosity and unquestionable employment.

Regarding Zhou Yu's arrangement, Jia Xu and Chen Gong secretly gave thumbs up. It was high, really high! In this way, he used all the elites in Yuzhou for his own use and won over the Sun family. I really don't know how the lord came up with this trick. Jia Xu asked Zhou Yu several times in private, but Zhou Yu laughed and refused to answer. He was so anxious that he said that this was a secret that cannot be revealed. Later, Jia Xu simply stopped asking.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Chen Gong returned to Jiujiang to continue his duties as a prefect, and had to clean up the house and place the generals and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yuzhou Camp that was about to arrive. Shortly after Chen Gong returned to Hefei, Cheng Pu led the soldiers of the Yuzhou Camp to Hefei to replace the defense of Xu Sheng Niuzhu Camp. Seeing that under Cheng Pu's dispatch, Chen Gong saw that the entire Yuzhou Camp's actions were in order, he couldn't help but secretly praised him as a talented general.

Chen Gong was careful and saw that many generals from the Yuzhou camp were taking their families with their families, so he tried every means to make room for them in the government's mansion, and sent people to send food and meat to calm their hearts. Then Chen Gong thought that most of the soldiers in the Yuzhou camp were from Yuzhou and Jingzhou. They were not treated as officers, and the whole family either stayed in Yuzhou or Jingzhou. In order to allow them to settle down in Jiangdong with peace of mind, Chen Gong and Cheng Pu negotiated and selected dozens of loyal and capable soldiers from the Yuzhou camp, and asked them to collect the family situation of the soldiers in the army. After summarizing them, they each brought some lists to Yuzhou and Jingzhou to persuade their families and help them move to Hefei.

This move really worked. Although Jiangdong is rich, it is difficult to leave his hometown. There were many soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to get away from him. At this moment, I was very happy to see that my family could settle down and buy a property in Jiangdong, so I stayed wholeheartedly.

After finishing the resettlement of the Yuzhou Army, early winter has arrived. The trees in the provincial governor's mansion have more and more leaves every day, and the wind blows on their faces. Zhou Yu just took a day off and received a piece of news that worries him.

In early November, Emperor Liu Xie, inspired by the Grand Marshal Zhu Jun, Grand Marshal Yang Biao, General Anji Dong Cheng and others, decided to move to Luoyang immediately to rebuild the court there. The prefect of Henoi Zhang Yang and the prefect of Hedong Wang Yi all sent troops to escort him. Although Hu Cai, Yang Feng and Han Xian each had their own ambitions, they also led their troops to follow him.

Because of so many soldiers and horse protection, no one dared to harass him. After half a month, Liu Xie and his party successfully arrived at Luoyang, which was burned unrecognizable by Dong Zhuo. Looking at the tall and majestic walls of Luoyang City, Liu Xie couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes. He thought that he was appointed emperor by Dong Zhuo when he was nine years old and became a puppet since then. Later, he was forced to leave Luoyang and move westward to Chang'an. Now he can return to Luoyang again, hoping to revive the court and revive our great man.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie looked around his eyes. The Grand Chief Yuan Zhu Jun, Grand Marshal Yang Biao, General An Ji Dong Cheng, General An Guo Zhang Yang, General An East Expedition Hu Cai, General Yang Feng, General Hengjiang General Han Xian, and General Hedong Prefect Wang Yi were all accompanying him. They are the only force I can rely on. But are they completely loyal to me? Will there be another Dong Zhuo?

At this time, Liu Xie remembered Wang Yun again. If he was not dead, he would definitely give him a lot of opinions so that he would not be so confused.

"Emperor... let's go to the city..." Queen Fu gently pinched Liu Xie's hand and said softly.

"Okay... let's go into the city!" Liu Xie ordered loudly, and the carriage they were riding slowly started and headed towards the city gate. The officials guarding Luoyang did not dare to be negligent when they learned that the emperor had arrived here. They crawled in front of the city gate and stared at the emperor's carriage with complicated eyes. When the emperor entered the city, the soldiers holding sharp blades passed by with a proud look. The sharp blade made the officials in Luoyang shudder.

In Luoyang City, the streets were deserted and covered with weeds. The palace was still dilapidated and ruins were visible everywhere. Liu Xie sent someone to check carefully and found a place where he could barely live, called Yang'an Palace. Dong Cheng personally led his people to clean it up and welcomed Liu Xie and Empress Fu to enter and stay in temporarily. However, all the officials had no houses to live in, and they were covered with thorns and were in a very embarrassing form.

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
