Great Wei Nengchen

In order to boost morale, Xiao Yi sent a large number of envoys, carrying the captured spoils, to travel all over the Guanzhong area, preaching the benefits of the Western Expedition and the benefits gained...

The gold is yellow and the eyes are black. Seeing the gold, silver and jewelry sent back by the Western Expeditionary Army, the beautiful orchid, the Guanzhong area immediately became a sensation. Those refugees, bandits, and swordsmen who did not change their thieves came one after another. He joined the army and wanted to go to the Western Regions to make a fortune. In just half a month, he gathered tens of thousands of people!

Those who slaughter their own people are bandits, and those who slaughter foreigners are heroes. These tigers and wolves finally have a role to play!

Chapter 795 Restoring the Eastern Capital

Since ancient times, the way to govern the country is to employ people. The art of employing people is like medicine. Medicines are divided into good, poisonous, warm, and fierce... Quack doctors mistakenly kill people with gentle medicines, and genius doctors can save people with poisonous medicines. Whether life or death is right or wrong, it all depends on how the controller uses it!

Fortunately, Xiao Yi is a master doctor, no matter how poisonous the drug is in his hands, it can also become a good thing for curing diseases and saving lives. He gathers the bandits, grass bandits, swordsmen, hooligans in the Guanzhong area... and builds up these "cancers". To become a sharp arrow, to open up territory for the Chinese nation, and to benefit future generations, such a method can be called a stroke of genius!

The problem of the 'tumor' was solved, the Guanzhong area was completely stabilized, the people reclaimed wasteland and built their homes, and the situation was very good. Next, Xiao Yi did another bad thing - beating mandarin ducks with a stick!

Recently, Ma Liu and Lu Linger got along very well. The two traveled around mountains and rivers, rode horses and shot and hunted. , It's a good mess!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi intervened. After all, Lu Ling'er was still young, and she was still a few years away from getting married. The two of them were lonely and widowed. It's a good ending, even if Lu Bu doesn't jump out of the coffin, Diao Chan will kill him with a sword in hand!

For this reason, Xiao Yi issued a military order to let Ma Liu continue to sit in Chang'an, train troops, appease the people, and accumulate various strategic materials. As for Lu Ling'er, it will be included in the Xiao family tree, and three years later, she will be a direct sister Leaving the pavilion, all the dowry will come from Wuchouhou's mansion, which is worthy of Lu Bu's trust in Gu Gu!

Of course, some important matters still need to be explained. Before parting, Xiao Yi and Ma Liu had a secret discussion in the back tent all night. No one knew what they said. The soldiers all retreated. People only saw that they left the next day. At that time, Ma Liu was in a trance, half happy and half worried, and took the initiative to bow down to Xiao Yi, which meant a meaning--brothers in the past, and monarchs and ministers in the future!

To be a brother - to preside over the overall situation, plan major events, and create a foundation for eternity!

To be a disciple-follow the left and right, die without regrets, and leave your name on the history!

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are such a combination, as are Xiao Yi, Ma Liu, and Daniu. Friends-brothers-lord and minister, the trinity, life and death depend on each other!

Large-scale relocation of refugees is not an easy task, especially in the cold winter season, people will freeze to death if they are not careful, Xiao Yi sent an order to the counties and counties along the way to prepare horses, vehicles, food, tents... and various supplies to meet them. The relocation of the brigade; at the same time, sending envoys to the Xuchang-Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for help, such a big matter, the court cannot sit idly by!

As for Xiao Yi, he personally led three hundred cavalry and headed straight to Luoyang City to investigate the situation for the brigade. Even though the plan of 'restoring the Eastern Capital' is very good, in actual operation, there will definitely be many troubles, so we should be fully prepared now , when the time comes, you will be able to pay less price, human life is at stake, how can you be careless!

......................................................................................................

"Luoyang Order-Xun Yuan...to pay homage to Da Sima, the posthouse has been cleaned, and the wine, food and hot water are ready. Please dismount and rest. If there is any negligence, please forgive me!"

West of Luoyang City - A ragged official, with a dozen yellow and emaciated postmen, knelt down on the official road, and greeted the arrival of the troops with a smile uglier than crying!

"No need, the soldiers brought dry rations for the march, enough to fill their stomachs, so there is no need to disturb the place!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and the three hundred guards got off their horses to rest, and they set up pots to boil water and cook food outside the post station. , both the dry food they carried and the wild animals hunted along the way, after a while, there was a strong smell of meat!

Seeing the self-sufficiency of hundreds of cavalry, the postmen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. One of the hardest tasks in the local area is to welcome and send off, especially the cavalry masters

, has a bad temper, consumes a lot, and if you are a little dissatisfied, at least you will be rewarded with a few whips, and at worst, you will draw a knife to slash people. You are extremely overbearing!

Xiao Yi was also sitting on the floor, with broth in one hand and big cake in the other, eating with relish. Those who have been on the battlefield, who has never tasted the feeling of starvation, in order to replenish physical strength, even rough food can be eaten Go on, this kind of food is not bad!

They ate by themselves without letting others watch. More than a dozen postmen also sat down, each with a big stick bone, and they gnawed with great joy. Maintaining proper etiquette and eating slowly, one can see that he is from a family!

Xiao Yi's judgment was correct. This Luoyang Ling was born in the Xun family. Is it Xun Yu's nephew, or he was born in the direct line. The sons of noble families are officials, and they are all sent to wealthy places. They can make political achievements and earn money. The speed of promotion is also fast!

The Xun family is an exception, and even sent their children to Luoyang. If it was ten years ago, the "Luoyang order" would definitely be a fat post that would not be exchanged for a thousand dollars, but now, the officials used to settle crimes are almost the same. It's like exile!

"The Xun family's loyalty is well-deserved... It's a pity that the world is in such a state of affairs that it cannot be saved by one or two loyal ministers. In the end, it is just a sad song!"

Xiao Yi naturally understood that Xun Yu sent his family members to Luoyang to guard the old nest for the Han Dynasty and preserve the last bit of prestige.

After eating and drinking, under Xun Yuan's guidance, Xiao Yi entered the city of Luoyang. He wanted to check the situation in person and make a detailed restoration plan. He wanted to save manpower and material resources, and to do things perfectly!

Before coming to Luoyang, Xiao Yi was already mentally prepared, but after stepping into the city gate, seeing the ruins all over the place, he was still shocked and speechless, the situation here is not bad, but very bad!

Back then, Luoyang City was prosperous and prosperous, with a large population. There was an endless stream of business travelers coming from south to north. Both sides of the street were full of shops with all kinds of items. The variety of categories and high craftsmanship surprised Xiao Yi. here!

A few years have passed, the bustling scene of the past has disappeared, the city walls are damaged, houses collapsed, charred ruins are everywhere, skeletons and bones can be seen everywhere, and occasionally a few living people are wandering aimlessly. Pick up bark and dig grass roots to survive!

"The Han family's 200 years of painstaking efforts were completely destroyed. How many people are there in the vicinity of Luoyang, and how are the houses, grain storage, and farm tools?"

Looking at the devastated scene, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling sad, the feudal lords were fighting for hegemony, the people were in dire straits, the vitality of the Han family was seriously injured, and I don't know how long it would take to recover!

"Reporting to Da Sima, natural disasters continue and the people are in dire straits. There are only 230 households left in Luoyang, with a total of 640 people. The houses are completely destroyed and the fields are barren. It is only by the imperial court giving some food that they can barely survive!

Xun Yuan is well aware of the situation in Luoyang, and the population is in the single digits. It can be seen that he is a good official who has made in-depth visits and understands the people's sentiments!

Luoyang is the capital city of Han Dynasty. Its population exceeded 50 in its heyday, but now only [-]% is left. It has declined to such an extent that it can be summed up as four disasters...fire, military disaster, robbery disaster, and natural disaster!

Dong Zhuo rebelled the country. In order to avoid the front of the Kwantung coalition forces, he forcibly moved the court to Chang'an. Before leaving, he ordered four generals, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, to set fire to Luoyang City and countless palaces and buildings. Turned into ashes, thanks to Zhang Ji's good conscience, he saved half of the urban area. This is a fire!

The Kwantung Allied Forces were called bandits, but in fact they were like raccoon dogs. After entering Luoyang City, they plundered and looted wantonly.

After the decline of the imperial court, bandits from all over the world swarmed and looted the people everywhere. People from all walks of life passed by Luoyang City. Who would not come to grab a handful? Money, food, cloth, women... are cleaner than locusts. disaster!

Finally, God is not beautiful. In recent years, there have been locusts and droughts. The crops in the fields have failed, the vegetation has died, the birds and animals have disappeared, and the people have starved to death. This is a natural disaster!

Under the four disasters, people were devastated, the common people fled and fled, and the rest were dying. In addition, the damage of Luoyang City was also terrible!

Looking around, the palaces and pavilions of the past have all turned into broken bricks and tiles. There are only two intact buildings left. One is the White Horse Temple in the east, where there are still monks practicing in the morning and evening, and the other is the Tianji Building. The place where many literati and poets gather, stands upright in the ruins, despite the wind and rain, it still remains motionless!

The survival of the White Horse Temple is all thanks to the blessing of the Buddha. In recent decades, Taoism has declined and Buddhism has flourished. In order to escape the sea of ​​suffering and seek wealth and honor in the afterlife, many people shave their heads, and countless people kneel down to worship the Buddha. Whether it's soldiers or thieves, if you show mercy to the temple, the White Horse Temple will be spared the misery!

As for the Tianji Building, it is all thanks to Xiao Yi, who left behind a pair of ink treasures when he chanted drunkenly. All the officers, soldiers and thieves passing by don't know the name of "Ghost Face Xiao Lang". Killing the gods, they will inevitably lose their heads, so after a few years, no one dares to touch the bricks and tiles of the secret building!

"Luoyang has been destroyed so far, but it is heartbreaking. But, if there is a disadvantage, there must be an advantage. It is a good thing to be completely destroyed. Is a blank piece of paper good for poetry!"

After a while, Xiao Yi cheered up. The old Eastern Capital of the Han Dynasty had disappeared in the long river of history. In his own hands, a new Luoyang would be born, which would shine brightly and stand proudly in the east!

"Immediately post a notice to inform the people everywhere that the governor wants to restore Luoyang City, and everyone will work together to create a prosperous and prosperous world!"

Chapter 796 Restoring the Eastern Capital

The capital city is the foundation of a country. If the foundation is firm, the country will prosper. If the foundation is shaken, the country will surely lose. The ministers personally wrote the "Edict of Anguo" and promulgated it to the world, making it known everywhere!

In order to promote the development of the matter, those diehard loyalists of the Han Dynasty also worked hard. On the one hand, they played frequently to the court to create momentum for the restoration of Luoyang. On the other hand, they generously donated a lot of property to build the city. Concubines and concubines also took out their private money, especially Princess Haiyan, who donated 10 taels of gold, which can be described as their full support!

What is even more surprising is that the Prime Minister who has always opposed the restoration of Luoyang, after a few days of silence, also sent a memorial to the emperor: "Build the Eastern Capital, to strengthen the country, to fight against rebels, to secure the country", and transferred [-] The armored soldiers, as well as a large amount of supplies, were used to repair Luoyang City. As for the candidates to lead the army, they were the two sons of the Cao family——Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi!

Even the prime minister expressed his support, and there was no voice of opposition in the court. All of a sudden, counties and counties around the country took action one after another, mobilizing peasants, raising food and grass, and contributing money and strength. up!

Things have developed to this point, and the princes from all walks of life can't sit still anymore. Whether they separatize the city or compete for the population, after all, under the banner of the Han Dynasty, they all regard themselves as loyal ministers. Therefore, it is not easy for them to pretend to be deaf and dumb!

Regardless of whether it was true or not, the princes submitted memorials one after another, highly praised the matter, and paid some taxes to the court for the restoration of Luoyang. The decaying Han Dynasty finally showed some vitality, but people with discerning eyes can see it clearly , This is just a flashback!

Cao Cao is known as a generation of traitors, so naturally he will not miss the opportunity. He recruited a group of literati and inkmen to sing praises for himself, calling him another pillar of the country on par with Yi Yin and Huo Guang!

So far, many people have come to understand that the restoration of Luoyang City has benefited Cao Cao too much. In terms of military affairs, there is an extra giant city, which can hoard food and grass, stabilize the situation, and gain a lot of prestige in politics. It's also easier, and I've earned a good reputation. It's really a good hand!

............................................................................................................

"The prime minister's mansion has a Jun order to let the two of us brothers come here to help restore Luoyang City. All matters are under the orders of the Great Sima!"

A few days later, the Cao family brothers led 3 horses to arrive. After setting up camp, the two came to meet each other and offered to pay respects!
