Chapter 396: Asking Lu Zhi to give up Luoyang
With Zhou Yi's 90 points of political attributes, serving as governor of a state in troubled times may not be enough, but being a prefect is more than enough.
Such high-level political talents are extremely valuable in any family, and they will usually spend a lot of resources on them to ensure that their career is as smooth as possible.
But Zhou Yi, who is nearly 30 years old, is now just a small Luoyang order. It can be seen that Zhou Yi's status in the Zhou family is definitely not high and he does not receive the family's resources.
Since Zhou Yi is Zhou Yu's father, wouldn't it mean that if he kidnapped Zhou Yi, he would get Zhou Yu?
Qin Hao was suddenly excited when he thought of this.
But at this time, Zhou Yu seems to be still a ten-year-old young lady?
No matter what, that was Zhou Gongjin, how could he let him go if he encountered him.
Just think of it as Shota’s upbringing.
Qin Hao had an evil thought in his heart, and he had already made a plan for Zhou Yu to develop a young master on his own initiative.
Zhou Yi's words did have an effect, making some of the abandonment factions loosen up a bit, and Qin Wen also felt a little shaken.
Because what Zhou Yi said is indeed very reasonable. The defensive foundation here in Luoyang is simply not very good. It would be a pity to give up like this.
"The imperial edict has arrived, and the Grand Governor Qin Wen will receive it."
Just when Qin Wen was still considering whether to persist for a while, the envoy from Chang'an had already arrived in Luoyang with the imperial edict, and this time it was Zhao Zhong from the Shichang Attendant.
Although Qin Wen was extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court's remote control method, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and lead everyone to receive the order.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict. He ordered Qin Wen, the commander-in-chief, to abandon Luoyang quickly, lead an army of 200,000 to retreat to Hongnong, and defend Guanzhong with all his strength."
With this edict, everyone knew that there was no room for turning back, and Luoyang could only be ruthlessly abandoned.
Yang Gun collapsed on the ground, unable to accept this fact, and Zhou Yi also looked desperate.
Less than half of Luoyang's defense was arranged by Zhou Yi, and the people also initiated it.
Now that the big man wanted to give up on his own initiative, Zhou Yi didn't know how to explain to the people of Luoyang. If he didn't know how to explain, he had no choice but not to explain.
After Qin Wen's appointment was handed down, Zhao Zhong said again: "Order the champion Hou Qin Hao to lead an army of 100,000 to defend Guangcheng Pass to prevent the Yellow Turbans from marching south to Jingzhou to capture this place."
All the generals present were very surprised when they heard this, and Qin Hao was also shocked because this step was the same as Gui Guzi's arrangement.
Unknowingly, Guiguzi's shocking plan was already halfway through, and it was exactly what Guiguzi said.
Liu Hong actually asked me to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army. This is completely unreasonable. Teacher, how did you do it? Qin Hao thought to himself.
Although Qin Hao's current record is terrifying, he cannot be a commander just by having a record. To be the commander of an army requires qualifications.
Nowadays, people in Luoyang have more qualifications than Qin Hao. According to common sense, Qin Hao will be ranked no matter how he is ranked.
But this job fell on Qin Hao's head, so Qin Hao didn't believe it when he said it wasn't Gui Guzi.
Master, I hope the next step will be as you predicted. Disciple, I’m betting my life on you. Qin Hao thought to himself.
Zhao Zhong left immediately after announcing the decree. After all, the Yinxi Front in Henan is still safe now. If it were later, if the cities on the western front were also captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be difficult for him to leave.
Qin Hao personally sent Zhao Zhong out of the city and asked many questions along the way, trying to understand what was affecting Liu Hong, but he still didn't understand anything.
"Master Zhao, I have a request that I hope you can convey to Your Majesty." Qin Hao said to Zhao Zhong.
"Prince-in-law, please speak."
"This is my first time commanding an army of 100,000 people. I am really frightened, so I want your Majesty to send me a deputy general."
"This is simple, who does the prince consort want?"
"Lord Lu Zhi."
Zhao Zhong's expression immediately changed. Seeing that there was no one around him, he said, "Your Majesty, are you sure? Lu Zhi is covered in fishiness now. Whoever gets it will be unlucky."
"I'm sure, with Lord Lu Zhi here, I can absolutely control the army of 100,000 people, so I would like to ask Lord Zhao to convey this to His Majesty. It doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't agree."
"Okay." Zhao Zhong sighed. He had already said everything he needed to say, and there was nothing he could do if Qin Hao didn't listen.
On the way back, Qin Hao felt filled with emotion when he looked at the people of Luoyang who were still busy at the top of the city and constantly strengthening their defenses.
What supports these people working so hard?
These people all joined the defense forces because their family members were killed by the Yellow Turbans.
The people just wanted to vent their hatred, but they didn't know that the court had given up on them again, not even giving them a chance to take revenge.
Evacuation should be done sooner rather than later. After all, no one knows when all Henan Yin except Luoyang will be conquered.
Just when the 300,000-strong army was about to withdraw, someone revealed the news and let the lower-level soldiers know in advance. As a result, the entire army was in an uproar, and nearly 10,000 soldiers petitioned Qin Wen.
"Grand Governor, we can't evacuate."
"Yes, Luoyang is the capital of the country."
"We will defend Luoyang to the death."
These simple soldiers did not know that they had been exploited by someone and turned into political tools to deal with the Qin family and his son. They only knew that they should not give up Luoyang just like that.
The soldiers' commotion made a lot of noise, and eventually it reached the ears of the people. Soon the news that "the big men abandoned Luoyang" spread throughout the city like a virus, and the people of Luoyang were furious.
I don't know which force secretly instigated it. Nearly 100,000 angry Luoyang people surrounded Qin Wen's general palace, just to ask for an explanation. In the end, Qin Wen was forced to come forward to "refute the rumors."
With Qin Wen's repeated assurances, the people of Luoyang finally believed that the news was a rumor spread by the Yellow Turbans, just to make Luoyang collapse without a fight.
General's Mansion, Council Hall.
"What should we do now? Just say something." Qin Wen shouted with a very ugly face.
In fact, it is not surprising that Qin Wen would be like this. Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that the people are undisciplined and unorganized, but this time the commotion was so loud. Apart from someone secretly instigating mobilization, there is no other possibility. .
That is to say, Qin Wen's reputation among the people is pretty good, and the people are willing to believe in Qin Wen, so this time it did not cause disaster.
If it had been anyone else, a civil uprising might have occurred if there was a little instigation by someone who was interested, and then the only way to suppress it would be by force.
Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, but in their hearts they believed that the 'riot' was planned by the Yellow Turbans.
Finally Xi Zhi stood up and said: "Lord, at this point, it is impossible to evacuate them all. We must leave hope for the people of Luoyang."
Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you mean by the military advisor?" 19chapter;
