Chapter 171 In Dingguan, the Son of Heaven goes south

When he reached the outside of the main hall, Zhou You said to Li Jue and the others who followed him: "Generals, the ministers who objected just now, you have to remember clearly. I am afraid that in their eyes, not only the generals, but even me The governor of Jingzhou is also a traitor!"

"With them here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this court to survive in the future. Since the generals came to kill the traitor, if the traitor is not killed, you will not feel at ease in the future, right?" Zhou You continued.

Seeing Wen Yan's complexion changed slightly and they looked at each other again, Zhou You smiled lightly and continued: "Turn around, when you have killed all these traitors in the city, I will ask His Majesty for your credit. It's not a problem. Whether the generals want to stay in Guanzhong, or go to Jingxiang with me and His Majesty, or be transferred to Guandong to serve, it's not a problem."

"Look, they couldn't bear it just after we came out," he said, motioning to the noisy hall, and Zhou You left with Guo Jia, Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others.

After Zhou You left, they could hear the faint voices of fierce disputes and discussions in the hall, and Li Jue and the others, who looked at each other with uneasy faces and discussed with each other, couldn't help but show ruthless expressions.

Regarding this, Jia Xu, who stood aside and listened silently without expressing any opinions, turned his head to look at Zhou You's leaving back, but his eyes flickered.

After leaving the palace, Zhou You said with a smile to Lu Bu: "General Lu, oh no, Marquis Wen, if it's convenient, how about I stay at your residence tonight?"

"It's the honor of the last general, Lord Inspector, to stay at my residence temporarily!" Lu Bu was a little surprised when he heard the words, and then said with a smile as Chen Gong nodded.

Zhou You nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Guo Jia who was following: "Feng Xiao, invite Li Jue and the others to come to Wenhou's mansion tonight for a banquet. In addition, you draft a memorial to reward Li Jue and the others, and send it to His Majesty as soon as possible." go."

"Yes, my lord!" Guo Jia replied with a light smile, and then the group went straight to Lv Bu's Wenhou Mansion. Naturally, some of Zhou You's men and horses were on duty inside and outside the Wenhou Mansion.

In the evening, in the study room that Lu Bu vacated for Zhou You, after reading the memorial written by Guo Jia, Zhou You nodded and smiled: "That's right, let's make it like this, and send someone directly to the palace."

After a while, Guo Jia asked someone to send the memorial to the palace, and when he came back, he couldn't help but said to Zhou You who was standing by the window, "My lord, you instructed Li Jue and the others to attack the important officials in the court, will you...will you Could it be something wrong? After all, there are quite a few people with insight in the world who miss the Han Dynasty."

"So what? I didn't kill people, so what does it have to do with me? Keeping them now will cause trouble for the future?" Zhou You said casually, then looked at Guo Jia and asked: "Feng Xiao, are you Do you want to assist the future ruler of the world, or do you only want to assist one of the princes?"

After hearing the words, Guo Jiacai said after bowing in silence for a while, "My lord's meaning, I understand! Since my lord has the ambition to help the world, I will do my best to help, and I will live up to my lord's appreciation and trust!"

"Fengxiao does not fail me, and I will not fail Fengxiao!" Zhou You smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and Guo Jia was once again moved and speechless when he said this.

In the evening, Lu Bu's Marquis Wen's mansion was very lively. Li Jue and other main generals of the Xiliang Army arrived almost at the same time.

Of course, they couldn't come alone, they all brought a small number of followers.However, Zhou You sent his entourage to guard outside, but instead allowed them to bring their entourage into the mansion, which immediately made Xiliang's generals feel relieved.

So this dinner, the atmosphere is not bad.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhou You also went straight to the topic, asking Li Jue and others about their future plans.Before Zhou You had given them three choices, including Lu Bu, the only ones who finally chose to go to Jingxiang with Zhou You were Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew.

Generals such as Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou almost all chose to stay in Guanzhong. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and they still have military power, so they are much more at ease.

Zhou You immediately stated that Li Jue would stay in Chang'an to lead the three auxiliary areas, with Guo Si as the governor of Hedong, Fan Chou as the governor of Hongnong, Zhang Ji as the governor of Nanyang, and Lu Bu as the governor of Runan.This appointment can be said to really give them great power.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou You announced that Zhou Yafu would lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in Chang'an, nominally to assist Li Jue, but it was clearly a precaution.

However, it was not easy for Li Jue to object to this.After all, they also understood that since Zhou You entered Guanzhong and wanted to control the land in Guanzhong, it was naturally impossible to completely hand over Guanzhong to them, and it was normal to send generals to lead troops.

Later, Zhou You proposed to reduce the number of troops, remove some old, weak and remnant soldiers from the Xiliang Army, and distribute them to various counties and counties, in name to ensure local stability and reduce the consumption of food and grass.Although there was also the intention of weakening their military strength, the remaining ones were all elites, and Li Jue and others did not raise any objections.

The other officials in the counties and counties were appointed and adjusted by the imperial court, to put it bluntly, by Zhou You, and Li Jue and others naturally had nothing to say about this.

On the surface, it seems that they still hold the military power, but once the local officials recognize that the whole Guanzhong is roaming, then Li Jue and others can be said to be just generals who hold the military power.

In particular, some old and weak soldiers of the Xiliang Army went to the local area, and the old soldiers with bad habits in the army would inevitably harm the local area, and even conflict with the aristocratic families, which eventually caused them to lose the support of the people and the gentry.And Zhou You controls their lifeblood, money and food, and in the end they can only obediently work for Zhou You.

In the future, as long as Zhou You's territory is getting bigger and stronger, even the enemy may bow his head and surrender, let alone Li Jue and others, they will only gradually become more loyal and follow Zhou You wholeheartedly.

Even if there are those who are restless, have different intentions, or dare to rebel, no one will say anything to send troops to wipe them out.Zhou You seems to have made a lot of concessions, but in fact he won Guanzhong without bloodshed, and avoided the chaos and bloodshed in Guanzhong as much as possible, and was able to preserve the vitality of Guanzhong as much as possible so that it would not become a burden for him.

On the second day, before the entire imperial court set off to go south, the rewards for Li Jue and others also came down.The four main generals, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, were all conferred marquis titles, and they were also conferred the post of military officer such as General Empress.

But in fact, to put it bluntly, in Zhou You's view, these are just false names and have no real benefits.However, Li Jue and the others, who were just captains under Niu Fu before, had a feeling of ascending to the sky in one step, and they agreed with Zhou You more after each surprise.

When they followed Dong Zhuo back then, Dong Zhuo had never been so generous.In this way, some rewards are just more satisfying to them than a powerful official like the prefect, and they even feel like they are dying for their confidantes.

Zhou Yafu was left behind to lead an army of [-] in Chang'an, and presided over the tour of Xiliang's disarmament. He led the troops to escort Liu Xiehe and the ministers of the court and China to go south to Xiangyang..
