Chapter 91 Liu Qi's Plan
To be honest, Jia Long was already moved by Liu Qi's words.
It is true that in the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families and gentry were the main ruling society, and every word and action of the prominent families, including him, Jialong, was planned for the benefit of the family, but this does not mean that there are no passionate people among the prominent families and the powerful.
Jia Long and Dong Zhuo fought against the Qiang rebels in Liangzhou, and he witnessed Dong Zhuo's atrocities with his own eyes.
From the court's standpoint, the Qiang Rebels were to be killed, which was understandable, but the old and young corrupt scholars from the border tribes who were forced by the Qiang Rebels were moved to Wuwei by Dong Zhuo...
Jia Long also witnessed the various abuses and humiliations made by the Western Liang army towards the Qiang people.
In the eyes of the soldiers and generals under Dong Zhuo, those Qiang people were not even as good as dogs.
He robs Qiang people of supplies and food, and uses ropes to shackle them. In his spare time, he slaughtered Qiang men and was happy. In the wilderness, the Qiang women thought they were happy and did not give Qiang people food, so that they could find food to provide for themselves. Qiang people along the way were hungry and could eat all the leaves...
In the end, he even fell to the point of hunger.
At this moment, if you move the capital to immigrate...
If millions of people from Luoyang are really moved to Chang'an by the supervision of the Western Liang army...
Based on Jia Long's understanding of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang will be ruined. Heaven is angry and people are resentful, and people live in poverty...
Jia Long looked at Liu Qi's serious face, and felt a little dazed. He opened his mouth, as if he was impulsive to agree.
But Liu Mao quietly hit him with his elbow.
Jia Long was refreshed and came back to his senses.
Yes, although the migration of Luoyang may become a tragic incident on earth, what does it have to do with him from Yizhou?
He bowed to Liu Qi and said, "This matter... I am sorry that we cannot follow each other. I will submit a memorial to the emperor to formally establish the two capitals, which is not something we can discuss."
A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qi's mouth and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity."
Jia Long bowed to Liu Qi and said, "Young Master Liu, please don't do this. This move undoubtedly gave Luoyang aristocrats a chance to unite with the clans of the states to resist the westward movement. They will definitely make a feud with Dong Zhuo. If Dong Zhuo is a man, he may cause trouble."
Liu Qi refused to comment and said, "I will think about this matter."
Jia Long persuaded Liu Qi for a while, but seeing that it was useless to persuade him, he could only sigh and prepare to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Jia Long heard him say to Liu Qi: "Young Master, now our army has entered the territory of Sili, but Dong Zhuo in Luoyang is only a hundred miles away. We want to turn around and camp in Liang County to form a horn with the Grand Principal camp."
Kuai Yue frowned when he heard this.
What is the Yizhou Army trying to do? To threaten our army?
Little do you know that all the food and grass are supplied to our Jingzhou. If you act like this, wouldn’t you tie your hands and feet?
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Jia Gong's method is very good, so please ask Jia Gong to lead troops to Liang County. Our two armies will form a horn. I will send people to supply food and fodder as needed by the Yizhou army, and I will send people to supply it as needed, and there is no problem."
Jia Long and Liu Mao looked at each other in surprise.
What does Liu Qi want to do?
Kuai Yue trembled all over, and there was a little more surprise and complexity in his eyes when he looked at Liu Qi.
Jia Long sighed, and he didn't expect Liu Qi to be so determined.
Well, since he wanted to act like this, we would not hinder him. The Yizhou army went to Liang County to prevent him from being dragged into the water.
After making some polite words, Jia Long, Liu Mao and others immediately said goodbye.
...
After leaving the Jingzhou Army's tent and walking towards his own camp, Liu Mao asked Jia Long: "Jia is engaged, is it safe to go to Liang County?"
Jia Long slowly said to Liu Mao: "Liu Qi is stubborn and wants to deliberately provoke the war between the Sili family and Dong Zhuo, but he doesn't know that this is the way to cause trouble. Dong Zhuo is vengeful. I know it well. Once Liu Qi's advice enters Luo, he is afraid that he will be deeply hated by Dong Zhuo... I am afraid that the Western Liang army will attack the Jingzhou army, and we will temporarily avoid it in Liang County to avoid being involved in Liu Qi."
Liu Mao suddenly realized and sighed: "It's still Jia who is engaged in it, he is good at making decisions."
Zhang Ren followed Jia Long, listened to his conversation with Liu Mao, frowned, and a hint of resentment appeared on his face.
...
As soon as Jia Long and others left in the Jingzhou Army Commander's tent, Kuai Yue hurriedly asked: "Young Master, why is this?"
Liu Qi turned his head and sat down in the main seat, looked around at the people, and said, "If all the generals are fine, let's go back first and wait for the marquis to dispatch... Yidu Gong, Cai Sima, Zhang Sima, and Mancheng stayed."
Everyone took the order and left.
After everyone left, Kuai Yue followed and said, "Young Master can't see that Jia Long moved his troops to Liang County to avoid disaster! He was afraid that his army would be attacked by Xiliang soldiers, so he deliberately went to Liang County to station."
Cai Xun also said: "Young Master, I really don't understand. Dong Zhuo's move to Chang'an was a set strategy. In order not to leave Luoyang's population and industry for the princes of Guandong, he would definitely move all his people. How could we solve the problem of Tokyo and Xijing? Besides, what does this matter have to do with our Jingzhou?"
Liu Qi looked at them and smiled.
He reached out and waved to Kuai Yue and Cai Xun, saying, "Don't be impatient, please come in."
Kuai Yue and Cai Xun immediately walked towards Liu Qi.
Liu Qi whispered: "Yi Du Gong, you were appointed as the Dong Cao official under General He. There are military memorials from various states when the General's Mansion, and there must be Liangzhou among them. I would like to ask Mr., who is Dong Zhuo who he thought of when he was in Liangzhou back then?"
Kuai Yue said seriously: "Dong Zhuo was born in Liangzhou, as fierce as a tiger, as evil as a wolf, cruel and ruthless, without any kindness, and he will revenge..."
Liu Qi nodded and asked again: "Who does Dong Zhuo have the status of the scholars in Luoyang and even the soldiers of various states?"
Kuai Yue curled his lips disdainfully: "Dong Zhuo is now infamous in the hearts of the world, so why are you talking about low status? He can't even turn over in the hearts of scholars in his life..."
Speaking of this, Kuai Yue suddenly stopped.
He seemed to have thought of the point of the matter.
Logically speaking, with Kuai Yue's wisdom, it is impossible not to think of the key, but his mind today is all about how to ask for official titles for the people of the Cai and Kuai clans...
The authorities were confused and responded half a beat slower.
However, after calming down, he quickly figured out the point of the matter.
When he was young, he saw Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Dong Zhuo is no longer tolerant of the world, nor to scholars. What he does or does not do, it doesn't matter..."
Liu Qi stood on his chin and said, "Actually, I have ignored this before. It was not until Yuan Shu opened the passage of Nanyang for us and the two Yuans split that I suddenly realized that our alliance has no deterrence for Dong Zhuo. He can let go of attacking and killing our army at any time."
Dong Zhuo's actions have been unwilling tolerated by the gentry in the world. It doesn't matter to Dong Zhuo whether the protection alliance will occupy the great power.
For Dong Zhuo, the reason why he feared the Jingyi Alliance was different from the two Yuans. He was not afraid that the alliance would occupy the righteousness, but that the clan alliance would join forces with the governors of the Kanto county to deal with him.
But now, the two Yuans have been divided because of supporting Liu Yu as emperor and Liu Chong as crown prince.
Split means internal strife. In this way, the two Yuans will probably not launch military operations on Dong Zhuo in a short period of time.
Without the military restraint of the Er Yuan, Dong Zhuo, the hungry wolf in Xiliang, is likely to take advantage of this critical moment to attack the Jingyi coalition forces.
He was afraid that the clan alliance and the two Yuans would join forces, but now that the two Yuans had withdrawn from the battlefield, Dong Zhuo was naturally not afraid of the Jingyi coalition.
With his personality, he will definitely send troops to attack without any mercy.
This has nothing directly to do with whether Liu Qi is annoyed Dong Zhuo.
You will be beaten even if you are provoked, and you will be beaten even if you are not provoked.
Kuai Yue sighed and said, "Yue was deceived by his salary for a while, and he almost missed the big deal."
Cai Xun was in the fog while listening.
He asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yidu, what is the mystery in this?"
But Kuai Yue didn't pay any attention to Cai Xun.
He just stared at Liu Qi...
"The young master proposed to the court to use Tokyo and Xi Kyoto as the place where the emperor lived. It was not because Dong Zhuo moved all the people in Luoyang to the people who were in charge of Luoyang. The young master's real intention... was to attract the eyes of Mushou of Kanto again... Dong Zhuo came?"
Liu Qi nodded: "Yuan Shu was busy supporting Liu Chong as the crown prince. Yuan Shao was trampling on the matter of Liu Yu, and was hiding his strength and resting his time. They were not paying attention to Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo would naturally focus on us. I submitted a memorial and asked the emperor to move to Chang'an, Xijing, and to protect Luoyang as Tokyo. It can be used to move back at any time. To put it bluntly, it is to arouse the love of the scholars in Luoyang...",
Kuai Yue nodded and said, "Yes, Luoyang is a place where Longxing is located. Many prominent clans and scholars have moved here since Guangwu. This involves the interests of many prominent clans and the turnover of industries in each prefecture and county. If they want to move away with force, many families will be damaged. Then it is not just the people of Sili... Hebei, Yanzhou, and Nanyang have industries in Luoyang, which are actually broken bones and tendons."
Liu Qi said: "Chang'an has been the western capital of my Han Dynasty. The two capitals have been together for many years, but Chang'an is not the place where the emperor lives for a long time. I am focusing on the two capitals of the East and West this time. The true intention is to give the gentry an excuse so that they can rise up and resist, contact each other, fight with Dong Zhuo, and never leave Luoyang..."
Kuai Yue slowly took over the conversation and said, "If the matter can be made big, it will be related to many families in the world. As the Yuan brothers of the world, they cannot ignore it. The front of the coalition forces will point to Dong Zhuo again. At that time, Dong Zhuo is afraid that the clan coalition forces will fall to the two Yuans, so he will not continue to attack us... He will win over again?"
