Liu Xie originally had his own ideas and his own layout.

He learned to take advantage of marriage and the emperor's status to marry the daughter of his subordinates, so as to promote relatives who can be loyal to him and serve him, and then use the status advantage of his relatives to expand his power, so as to indirectly enhance the emperor's power.

This is feasible, this is a means that belongs to the emperor, Liu Xie understood the truth at a young age, and took the initiative to promote two relatives - Dong Chenghe Fu Wan.

Dong Cheng has experience in the army, he is a general outside, and he is a minister after Fu Wan, and he has no experience in the army, so he is the ruling Jinwu inside, protecting Liu Xie at close range, and these two people are in charge of a certain number of soldiers and horses as the emperor's cronies, as the emperor's safety guarantee.

If Liu Xie can be given a certain amount of time, maybe he can really build a reliable soldier of the Son of Heaven.

But history didn't give Liu Xie more time, and Guo didn't want to.

So in this chaotic battle, the Wang Shi who worked hard to pull up was all wiped out, the general Dong Cheng disappeared, and the executive Jinwu was a civil servant after the ambush, and he drove the duck to the shelf to become the executive Jinwu, but he was always lacking in courage, and in the face of the fierce Liangzhou army, he directly became a quail, and he could not protect Liu Xie at all.

Liu Xie once again became completely alone, and the whole person was heavily guarded by the Liangzhou Legion, completely isolated from the surviving ministers and concubines, and was not allowed to meet anyone.

Then, the five bigwigs of the Liangzhou group had a discussion close to fighting.

Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu, Li Wei, Guo Yan.

Because Li Dao and Guo Yan lost a lot of strength in the internal strife and the previous war, and now their strength is far inferior to the combined forces of Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, under the joint deterrence of Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, the two had to hand over Liu Xie and the ministers.

So Liu Xie and his ministers were controlled by the strong soldiers Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji, and Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji finally decided to take Liu Xie to Hongnong County, with Hongnong County as their future stronghold.

Because the surroundings of Chang'an are really dilapidated, the plague is rampant, and there are no living people left.

And the new dominant forces are Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, whose strength is still intact, these two people decided to take Liu Xie to live in Hongnong County and guard it, Li Dao and Guo Yan couldn't stop it, so they had to follow in a hurry, and then choose a station around Hongnong County.

During this period, because of his complete disappointment with Li Dao and Guo Yan, Jia Xu left Li Dao and threw himself into the banner of Duan Xuan, who had a bottom line and had a certain loyalty to the Han Dynasty, to give advice to Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan is a member of the clan of the former Taiwei Duan Cheng, and his education level is much higher than that of Li Dao and Guo Yan and other big and coarse people, and it is easier to do work and be reasonable.

Jia Xu, who was exhausted in Chang'an and couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening, felt that it was better for Duan Xuan to communicate.

So Jia Xu suggested that Duan Xuan unite with Zhang Ji to suppress Li Dao and Guo Yan with the absolute superiority of troops in his hands, and take the emperor in his hands and control Hongnong County, so as to start a new chapter of the Liangzhou group.

The main thing is that the emperor is still in his hands, and the political life of the Liangzhou group can still be continued, but the two culprits Li Dao and Guo Yan must be punished, and they must rely on the emperor's name to appease the world, otherwise a new round of crusade and war will inevitably begin.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, so they immediately joined forces to ask Liu Xie, who was alone, for the holy decree.

They announced that Li Dao and Guo Yan would be dismissed from their positions as great Sima and hussar generals, and demoted to the former Anji generals and Xingyi generals held by Dong Cheng and Yang Ding, and were demoted from important positions and heavy generals to miscellaneous generals as a sign of severe punishment.

After that, Jia Xu felt that it was not enough, so Liu Xie demoted Li Dao and Guo Yan to lieutenants.

Then Zhang Ji was promoted to hussar general, and Duan Xuan was promoted to chariot general and lieutenant of Si Li, with the two of them as the new leadership core of the Liangzhou group.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan wanted to promote Jia Xu to be a big Sima, but Jia Xu resolutely refused.

"I don't have any credit for the company, so how can I do such a position?"

So Jia Xu only accepted the position of Shangshutai Shangshu, and did not accept anything else.

With a change of people, Liu Xie originally thought that he might be treated more harshly, but he was not treated very harshly.

After arriving in Hongnong County, Empress Fushou returned to him, and the ministers were also received by Liu Xie.

Although Dong Cheng, the father of the noble Dong family, was defined as a thief, Dong Guiren was not implicated and returned to Liu Xie's side.

Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan and Jia Xu and other three powerful factions also stood in the queue of ministers in official uniforms, treating Liu Xie respectfully and rigorously.

Having said that, when Liu Xie put forward the idea of wanting to continue to move towards Luoyang, he was resolutely rejected.

"Luoyang is dilapidated, the people are no more than 100 households, bears and tigers can be seen in the daytime, the land is deserted and no one cultivates, the river is deserted and no one repairs, and it is no longer suitable for habitation."

Jia Xu said calmly.

"The graves of my ancestors are all in Luoyang, and I want to go to worship, isn't this okay?"

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu very unpleasantly.

"The ancestors have passed away, and now Your Majesty is the most important, Your Majesty is responsible for the country, you must take care of your body, and you must not act rashly."

Liu Xie touched a soft nail and looked at the other ministers, only to find that they all lowered their heads and couldn't say a word.

And those who could speak, such as Taiwei Yang Biao and others, were all under house arrest at home and were not allowed to go to court.

The position is retained, and the honor is retained, that is, it is not allowed to go to the court and not to see Liu Xie.

Not only that, Liu Xie no longer has a relative general and Yulin guards around him, all the escort work is arranged by Jia Xu personally, and the soldiers and horses used are all Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan's personal guards, which are absolutely reliable.

After Fu Wan, he was transferred to be the prince and young master in name only, and he was not allowed to see Liu Xie.

Only then did Liu Xie realize that although he had met a more civilized group of people, this was still under control.

Although it looks much softer and more elastic than before, it is more difficult to break free.

Jia Xu and the three of them had a completely non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, except for the ten-day visit to the court, Liu Xie could not see the ministers at all, and even the eunuchs and palace maids were personally selected by Jia Xu to serve Liu Xie.

How much eyeliner there is, Liu Xie doesn't know.

Liu Xie gradually developed a desperate mood.

He felt that he might have to be under the control of this group for the rest of his life, and it would be difficult to escape.

Luoyang was obviously close at hand, but he was trapped in Hongnong and couldn't move.

The imperial capital of the Han Dynasty was also moved to Hongnong County.

The news was soon learned by Guo Peng.

The battle that took place on the north and south banks of the Yellow River also quickly spread in Guo Peng's territory, and then spread everywhere in the south, north, and east.

Wang Shi was defeated, Liu Xie once again fell into the control of the people of Liangzhou, and Hongnong was the new imperial capital.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, also issued an edict to the princes of the world in his own name, announcing a new round of rewards, and also asked the princes of the world to pay tribute to the central government of Hongnong and provide him with what he needed.
