Chapter 137

The next day, Zhao Qian gathered his troops, and Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, Song Xian and others surrendered and left Luoyang.

Ten miles outside Luoyang City, Wang Shan stationed officials and common people here to wait according to Zhao Qian's instructions.

Before being able to return to Luoyang, the people were all happy, but when they heard that they were going to Jinyang again, they couldn't be happier anymore.

Fortunately, Zhao Qian didn't force it. After explaining the situation, he made his own decision, but in order to prevent leakage of news, he was not allowed to leave before Zhao Qian's army set off.

Not long after, Zhao Qian led the army to come, and Wang Shan greeted him, saying: "My lord, there are a total of [-] people who are willing to go with them, and the rest are not."

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Prepare food for the [-] people, and after they arrive in Jinyang, they will be resettled. The rest of the people will be sent back to the city after the army is deployed."

If those 10,000+ people who were unwilling to go with him returned to Luoyang at once, it would probably be enough for Yuan Shao to have a headache.

"My lord, all the officials and lords seem to be unwilling to leave Luoyang." Wang Shan said again.

Zhao Qian frowned, and said displeasedly: "Call them to see me!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shan received the order, turned around and left. After a while, he led many officials, headed by Cai Yong, Yang Biao, and Huang Wan, to Zhao Qian.

Cai Yong had met Zhao Qian before, and he nodded politely, while the others stood upright and didn't even look at Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian was a little angry. If he had known this, he wouldn't have rescued you officials and lords from Dong Zhuo's hands, and let you suffer more.

Zhao Qian didn't speak, just straddled the horse and waited quietly.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Qian looked up at the sun and said loudly: "It's getting late, the army is starting!"

Yang Biao and the others saw that Zhao Qian had really ignored them and was about to set off, and they couldn't help but anxiously said: "Inspector Zhao, are you ignoring our ministers?"

Zhao Qian snorted coldly in his heart, and said deliberately: "Who are you? Dare to stop my army, come here, drag it down, behead!"

Cai Yong was shocked, and hastily stepped forward to explain: "General Zhao, wait a minute, these two are ministers of the court, this is Taiwei Yang Biao, and this is Sikong Huangwan."

Zhao Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, so it's two adults. Forgive me for being in military uniform, and I can't fully salute. The army is about to leave. Please pack up."

"You!" Yang Biao was so annoyed by Zhao Qian's appearance that he was speechless.

It was Cai Yong who sighed softly and said: "General Zhao, I came here to ask why Luoyang is so close, but why don't you enter the city?"

For Cai Yong, Zhao Qian was more polite, after all, he didn't raise his hand to hit a smiling face.

"Lord Cai, when Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, he burned the palace and plundered the people. Luoyang was in ruins and could not stay behind."

"How is Governor Zhao's behavior different from Dong Zhuo?" Yang Biao shouted loudly.

Zhao Qian was furious. He pointed his whip at Yang Biao and shouted: "The governor of the governor rescued you from Dong thief, but he didn't thank you. Instead, he questioned him, thinking that the governor of the governor is good at deceiving?"

Huang Wan who was on the side quickly said: "Inspector Zhao misunderstood, but Luoyang is the capital of the world, so don't move lightly!"

"Hmph, don't move lightly?" Zhao Qian sneered, "Dong Zhuo will move you and others to Chang'an? The governor invited you to Jinyang, so you can't move?"

"Dong Zhuo is strong, how can we resist?" Yang Biao objected.

Zhao Qian laughed, and said: "Dong Zhuo is strong, but he was chased by our army and threw away his helmet and armor. He ran away in a panic. Since you dare not resist Dong thief, don't you dare to disobey the governor!"

Yang Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he didn't seem to have any trump cards, so he couldn't help feeling a little lacking in confidence.

Seeing that Yang Biao's aura was a little low, Zhao Qian continued: "You all don't want to go to Jinyang with the governor, are you greedy for the glory and wealth given by Dong Bandit, and want to go west to Dong Bandit?"

"Nothing at all!" Yang Biao and Huang Wan denied in unison, "We just miss the Han Dynasty and cannot bear to leave."

Zhao Qian laughed, and said: "This governor is not telling you to stay away from the Han Dynasty, but Luoyang has been destroyed, and there are no sacrifices. It is useless to stay here. It is better to go back to Jinyang and make a plan. It is a good strategy."

Zhao Qian obviously just slapped him and gave him another jujube. Yang Biao and Huang Wan couldn't help hesitating after hearing this.

"Lord Cai, what's your opinion?" Yang Biao had no choice but to turn to Cai Yong for help.

Cai Yong sighed, and said: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate. It suffered such a catastrophe. The emperor was robbed, and we lost our heads. Since General Zhao raised his army, he has destroyed the Yellow Turbans, resisted the Xiongnu, and challenged Dong Zhuo. They are all for the country. It is better to follow them." .”

Seeing that Cai Yong supported him, Zhao Qian was very happy. He couldn't help saying, and ordered: "The army is on the way, don't delay, let's go!"

Yang Biao and Huang Wan wanted to say something more, but Wang Shan came up and shouted directly: "My lord, I will persuade you with kind words, and my lords don't know what is good or bad!"

Looking at the shining spear in Wang Shan's hand, Yang Biao had no choice but to swallow the words. Anyway, he was originally going to Chang'an, but now he is going to Jinyang, so there is no difference.

So, several ministers muttered and got into their respective carriages, followed Zhao Qian's army, and walked towards Jinyang, Bingzhou.

After Cai Yong got into the car, Cai Yan immediately asked, "Father, why don't we go into the city? Where are we going?"

"Go to Jinyang." Cai Yong replied.

Cai Yan frowned, and said, "Why did you go to Jinyang again? Could it be that Zhao Qian, like Dong Zhuo, won't be able to plunder officials?"

Cai Yong smiled helplessly, and said: "In the troubled times, let's resign ourselves to fate, this General Zhao will not be more cruel than Dong Zhuo."

Cai Yan looked out through the cracks in the curtains, and after a while, he felt more at ease, because he saw that Zhao Qian's team was completely different from Dong Zhuo's team.

When being chased away by Dong Zhuo's team, as long as they walked slowly, their lives would be in danger. At this time, some of the people outside accidentally fell down, and some soldiers even came forward to help them, which flattered those people.

As a good young man of the later generations, Zhao Qian has watched the national broadcast at seven o'clock, and he thinks that he is no worse than Liu Bei in terms of how to win the hearts of the people.

The army moved slowly all the way, followed by Zhang Fei and the surrendered general Xu Rong. Zhao Qian arranged for them to cut off the rear in order to intercept the army of princes who came to chase.

"Second General, will the troops of the princes really come to pursue them?" Xu Rong asked.

Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Rong, and said: "Of course, my elder brother said they will come back, so they will come."

"Why is this? Isn't the Guandong princes an alliance? Why did they come to pursue the Lord?" Xu Rong continued to ask.

Zhang Fei became impatient with the question, so he yelled directly: "Ask this and that, it's long-winded, you just wait, are you afraid that there will be no battle?"

While talking, I saw dust flying in the rear, and sure enough, the princes from all walks of life sent troops to chase after him!
