【Chapter 938】 Ask for Er Yuan, unload the mill and kill the donkey

[Thanks: Book friends agreed to reward support at the beginning, thank you!] 】

——————————————

With the departure of the Youzhou mission from Luoyang, the bustling city of Luoyang once again returned to its former calm.

Walking through the streets, but see pedestrians, shops, the market is becoming more and more prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, a peaceful scene of political communication and harmony.

Up to now, the reconstruction of Luoyang City has been completed for half a year. The first inhabitants of the new city were just over 10,000, and then people made their homes here every day, mostly from wealthy or wealthy families, and by mid-April there were more than 20,000 people in the city. At the beginning of May, when Yuan Shu of Huainan was proclaimed emperor, more than 3,000 families of the Montenegrin army moved from Montenegro, plus the surrounding people who rushed to hear the wind, and now seventy percent of the newly built houses in Luoyang City have been sold.

The reason for the sell-off is that the selling price of these houses is not expensive, and this is also the result of the forced intervention of the Luoyang government. In this regard, the major businessmen dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only swallow their anger and sell the house cheaply. This is the status quo of the official-based society, when raising funds to rebuild Luoyang, Luoyang Yin's subordinates have to beg the businessmen, and when the house is completed, the two sides exchange positions, and the government will participate, and as the leader, the businessmen must cooperate unconditionally.

Even if it is sold cheaply, the major merchants have recovered their costs and made a small profit. The remaining 30% of the houses are their real income, and they are all loft buildings, which are worth a lot of money, so they sell very slowly. However, as Luoyang City becomes more and more prosperous, these high-end houses can be sold quickly, thus bringing them a lot of money.

Now. There were more than 40,000 people and more than 10,000 garrisons in the city, totaling more than 50,000 people. Although it is not as good as the more than 100,000 people when Luoyang City was prosperous. But it's also a big city. After all, the total population of many counties nowadays is less than 50,000, and often a city is only a few tens of thousands, and the population is relatively small, far from being comparable to peacetime. What's more, Luoyang City still has a lot of room for growth, and there are still a lot of vacant land, if the population is saturated. It can accommodate at least 40,000 people, and eventually reach 100,000.

These trifles have nothing to do with Li Li, after the reconstruction of the city is completed. He stopped paying attention to the details. As for how to implement and govern, Luoyang Yin Yanpu and the county Cheng Zhuge Jin are fully responsible, and at the end of the year, there will be officials in charge of inspection to come to verify. In this way, the performance of state and county officials is evaluated.

The main hall of Luoyang County Shoufu. Li Li, who was elected as the leader of the princes alliance ten days ago, happened to sit in the hall and talk with Jia Xu about tea at this moment, his expression was very relaxed, without a trace of the busy demeanor of the approaching war, leisurely and leisurely tea sipping, talking and laughing.

Not far away, Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, stood next to the column, disappearing from time to time. can't help but wonder if he is often lazy and occasionally shows his face in the main hall. The rest of the time, I hid on the beams of the house and slept profusely. After all, he is different from ordinary people, and the two chains on his wrists that are more than two feet long allow him to sleep under beams or eaves, which is more convenient if he is in the jungle. For Li Zhi, in addition to the fact that he can rest normally when he stays in the Chang'an General's Mansion, as long as Li Li leaves Chang'an, he has no normal work and rest time, and he is within ten steps of Li Li's side at all times, and he must be there in the place where Li Li is.

The tea was fragrant, Li Li took a sip of tea, and smiled at Jia Xu: "According to the detailed report, Yuan Shao fainted on the spot after learning the news of Liu Xie's violent death, and then lay on the couch for five days, did not think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep all night, and was immersed in panic all day long. Has Wen He heard about this? ”

"Hehehe!" Jia Xu laughed loudly when he heard this, "This is to be expected. Liu Xie's violent death was a great blow to Yuan Shao, which was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making him suddenly feel that the sky was falling, the six gods had no master, and he couldn't live in fear. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "Speaking of which, this is also a report and a report, Yuan Shao deserves it, and he tastes the bitter fruit he has planted, and he can't complain about others." In the decisive battle of Loudiyuan in the past, Yuan Shao deliberately dug a trap and almost dug out the ground of Loudiyuan, thus killing more than 100,000 soldiers in one fell swoop, most of whom were allied soldiers under his command. These hundreds of thousands of soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died unjustly in his hands, how can these unjust souls let him go, they will haunt him for the rest of their lives, making him unable to sleep and eat, and life is better than death.

As the so-called wicked have their own wicked grinding, when he concocted the original pit in Loudi, he should have thought that sooner or later he would be retributed. If the Son dies at his hands today, it will be the retribution he deserves. tried his best to snatch the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials into his hands, but unexpectedly, what he grabbed was a big trouble, and then dragged him into the abyss of hell from which he could never recover. Hehehe, this is the cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is not happy! After speaking, Jia Xu sighed with emotion, as if he was lamenting that Yuan Shao deserved it, and as if he was empathetic, and he meant something else.

Li Li bowed slightly, stretched out his hand to pat Jia Xu's shoulder, and solemnly nodded to signal him to rest assured, there was no need to worry, this matter would be over, and there would be no more worries.

Obviously, Jia Xu is worried about himself, worried that one day he will follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shao, cook rabbits and dogs, unload mills and kill donkeys, and be killed by others. Because the Yecheng Shock was concocted by him, he personally planned and put it into action, and now it has been completed. While celebrating the success of the plan, he couldn't help but be worried, the crime of killing the monarch was not small, how could he ignore it. If one day this matter involves Li Li, and Li Li may push him out in order to calm the anger of the public, and then he will be in great trouble.

Speaking of the great changes in Yecheng concocted by Jia Xu, it has indeed been some years. When this idea first came up, it was the winter of the year when Li Li pacified Yongliang Erzhou, that is, the cold winter of 192 AD, and it has been five years now. At that time, Li Li led the Liangzhou pastoral, sat in Hanyang County, and left Kyoto Chang'an to his uncle Li Dao to take charge of the court.

For this reason, Jia Xu, who was the general of the military division at the time, went to test Li Li's mind on behalf of the generals. At that time, Li Li opened his heart to Jia Xu for the first time, and laid out the beautiful blueprint and inventory of the Xiliang Army for the next five years, and told Jia Xu without reservation.

There was a passage in it that shook Jia Xu's heart. I still remember it vividly: "If there is turmoil today, whoever can control the Son of Heaven will have the absolute initiative." Always occupy the name of righteousness and rule the world, but it is a pity that many people, even some talented princes, only care about their immediate interests, but they can't see the drawbacks and dangers hidden behind the coercion of the Son of Heaven. Gaozu Liu Bang once said: Success is also Xiao He is also Xiao He defeat. This is also very suitable for the little emperor Liu Xie??????" This is Li Li's decision to break the army into pieces. What you said when you were implementing the strategy of recuperation.

When he said this, only Jia Xu and Fa Zheng were present. At that time, Fa Zheng had just joined the army, so he naturally did not understand the true intention of Li Li's words. But Jia Xu really listened to it and remembered it in his heart. After a period of careful observation, he gradually realized Li Li's true intentions, which prompted him to come up with the idea of sharing the worries of the lord. And this idea is specifically aimed at Liu Xie.

Really. After a lapse of five years, all of them were put into action, and Jia Xu's long-planned plan was implemented step by step without a trace, and finally pushed Liu Xie to a dead end, and piggybacked on Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

??????????????????????????

By now, it has become irretrievable.

The day of the completion was the time for Jia Xu to build another special honor, for which Li Li privately rewarded him with 500 gold, and countless silk and satin. He also prepared a rather luxurious courtyard in Luoyang City. However, Jia Xu has always been thoughtful and does not show anything. While accepting the reward, he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and secretly worried about himself.

Just happened to talk to Li Li today, and when the conversation came to this point, Jia Xu made a tactful and tentative speech, hoping that Li Li could give him a positive answer, or a solemn promise. Only in this way can he be completely at ease and can he really let go of this matter, otherwise he is very worried that one day when the East Window incident happens, he will be the scapegoat, and it will even cause trouble.

Seeing Jia Xu's cautious expression, Li Li smiled calmly and said with a pleasant face: "I know what Wen He is worried about, I can solemnly tell you about this, this matter is over, and no one will mention it again after that." Even if someone brings up old things again and takes the opportunity to make trouble, it is also one-sided and cannot be believed. In addition, Wen He may not know that the people involved in this matter are all in the main hall right now, God knows that you know and I know, and Zicheng also knows, and no one else knows. As the so-called death lights go out, the insiders who know about this matter are the three of us, and even if others guess some, there is no way to verify it. If one day the East Window incident happens, then this matter will only be counted on my Li Li's head, and it will not be possible to involve you no matter what. Therefore, Wen He thought about it a lot, and he could sit back and relax after that. Hehehe! ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he was grateful, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "With the words of the lord, Weichen is not afraid of any gossip, and he has no worries." Weichen thanked the lord and was grateful. Then he bowed down and bowed.

Li Li got up and wrapped around him, and let Jia Xu sit down with a smile. After slowly sitting down, Jia Xu's eyes turned, and he suddenly spoke: "Dong Hong, the regular servant, seems to know the beginning and end of this matter, I don't know where he is now?" ”

Li Li's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said softly in a somewhat lost mood: "He and Liu Xie have a deep relationship, and after learning that Liu Xie died violently, he was in a trance, extremely melancholy, and fell off the cliff on the way back to Luoyang with the mission, and unfortunately died. After speaking, Li Li shook his head lightly and sighed: "That's it, don't talk about these sad things." Now that the alliance of thieves has ended, how should we use troops next, what is Wen He's opinion on this? ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he quickly retracted his mind, and after thinking for a while, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he said without hurry: "In fact, this time the princes of each town are just showing their own attitude, and the reason for putting the lord on the throne of the alliance lord is to ensure that when they snatch the territory under the rule of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the lord will not intervene, let alone send troops to raid their lair. As for the matter of our army sending troops, in fact, we don't need to send troops at all, the other princes of the Seven Roads are enough to exterminate Eryuan, and the princes of each town do not want the lord to send a large army. After all, there are so many territories under the jurisdiction of Eryuan, and it is not enough for the princes of the Seven Roads to divide up, if the lord leads a large army to participate in the encirclement and suppression, then wouldn't they be busy in vain, and in the end they won't get any benefits?

Therefore, I don't need to send troops now, but I can watch from the sidelines, and when their attack is blocked, it will not be too late to send troops. ”
