Of course, Yuan Shao understood Guo Jia's shocking words very well. He dared to say this, there must be a reason for it. Jushou couldn't help but nodded. It seemed that he was supporting Guo Jia as he thought.
Of course Yuan Shao also understood what Guo Jia meant, so he spoke up, interrupted the discussion of the generals, and supported Guo Jiadao.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Let's listen to Fengxiao's explanation. It's not too late to discuss it."
After hearing the lord's words, everyone stopped talking and waited for Guo Jia's explanation to see what they heard.
Guo Jia knew he was going to get down to business, so he cleared his throat, and after attracting everyone's attention, he explained in detail.
"Haha, you may have misunderstood me. The capital relocation I am talking about is different from Dong Zhuo Qian, and it is also different from everyone's understanding."
At this point, Guo Jia paused deliberately, took a sip of wine, and continued amidst repeated urging from everyone.
"What I mean by moving the capital is actually moving the emperor, princes and ministers, as well as their family members, relatives and friends. By the way, it also includes the army and the people who are willing to follow us. As for the rest, we can't control that much. ah!"
So it turned out that as soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized. They all enthusiastically praised Guo Jia for his kindness and admired Guo Jia's strategy and talent.
Seeing that Guo Jia's ideas coincided with his own, Ju Shou was also convinced. The world's opinions often coincide with each other.
So Ju Shou interrupted and continued, "What I thought was feasible was the words of filial piety. The Ming Dynasty raised righteous soldiers to eliminate the riots and entered the court to assist the emperor. This is the contribution of the five hegemons. However, the generals have different ideas and may not obey them. Now if we stay I'm afraid there will be inconvenience. It is best to move to Yecheng. However, the imperial court spread the news and returned to the capital. Looking up from far and near, hoping for the peace of the dynasty. Now I am back to driving alone, and I am not tired of the public's support. I have done something extraordinary. He has made extraordinary achievements, and I hope my lord will make the decision."
After the two military advisors finished speaking, all the generals nodded in admiration. Sure enough, the strategy was very clever, and none of us expected it. He is worthy of being the master's think tank, and is not something we can compare with.
Zhao Yun also admired the two gentlemen's strategy, but he still had some doubts and worries.
"The plan of the two military advisors is indeed good, but I don't know whether the imperial court will agree to move the capital to Yecheng. I am really worried."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jushu replied confidently, "General Zilong, don't worry, this matter is easy. My lord can write a letter to the royalists to reassure him first. Then tell the minister clearly that there is no food in the capital and he wants to drive to Yecheng." , close to the Bohai Sea, transporting grain, and the common people have no worries about shortages. When the ministers heard about it, they should be happy to obey."
After listening to everyone's discussion, the results are almost there. Yuan Shao had originally planned to move the capital, but now he is asking everyone to discuss it, just to get their opinions to agree.
Seeing that everyone had a unified opinion, he decided, "This is a very clever plan, you two gentlemen. You have the same idea as me. I have made up my mind to discuss the matter of moving the capital at the court meeting tomorrow morning. Let's make preparations now."
"Your lord is wise, I am willing to obey your orders, please give me your order."
When they heard that the lord had made a decision, everyone was overjoyed and stood up one after another to listen to the lord's order.
When Yuan Shao saw this, he was not polite and ordered first, "The imperial palace is the key to the success or failure of this time and must be heavily defended. This aspect will be left to the two generals Wen Chou and Zhu Ling. Could you please lead 10,000 troops and horses to garrison the imperial city?" , guaranteed to be foolproof.”
"Yes, please rest assured, lord, we will live up to our trust." Wen Chou and Zhu Ling stood up and responded after hearing the lord's order.
Yuan Shao nodded when he saw this, very satisfied. Facing Zhang Liao, he continued to order, "The defense of Chang'an is related to whether we can return to Jizhou safely. In this regard, I rely on General Wenyuan. Our wealth and life depend entirely on the general."
Hearing the Lord's seriousness, he entrusted such an important task to himself. Zhang Liao was very moved and immediately knelt down and promised.
"Please rest assured, my lord, the city is still there and the people are there, but if the city is lost, people will die. As long as Liao Yixi is still there, Chang'an will never be lost."
Seeing that Zhang Liao was serious, Yuan Shao had to remind him, "Wenyuan doesn't have to be like this. The city is not mine. If you lose it, just lose it. Don't worry about it. The most important thing is your safety, Wenyuan. In my heart, General." It can be worth thousands of troops and horses, and it cannot be replaced by Chang'an City."
These words made Zhang Liao burst into tears instantly and he was speechless. He just strengthened his determination in his heart to repay his lord for his kindness.
When everyone heard this, they all expressed admiration, and they all felt lucky in their hearts. As expected, they were not following the wrong lord.
Come on, Zhang Liao must have been moved for a while after seeing him like this. Yuan Shao didn't bother him and continued to order while the iron was hot.
"A lot of the Xiliang army has surrendered. I will leave the matter of surrendering soldiers to General Zilong. I only have one request, that is, we must select the soldiers who are willing to follow us. As for the others, let me Let them go where they came from."
After hearing Yuan Shao's order, Zhao Yun immediately expressed his understanding and went out to receive the order.
"Promise, Yun will live up to his trust and ensure that soldiers who meet our Jizhou standards are selected to contribute to our Lord's great cause."
Yuan Shao still believed in Zhao Yun's promise and nodded in praise. He taught Ju again.
"Sir, as for the conciliation with the royalists and the handover with the court ministers, I will leave it to you to handle it. I grant you total power, and you can do it cheaply."
"Thank you for your trust, my lord, I will do my best and die." Jushu agreed and said very gratefully.
Finally, Yuan Shao told Guo Jia, "As for the transmission of news and the changes of the princes, it all depends on Fengxiao. I want you to pay close attention to every move in Chang'an. If there is any trouble, I want to know it as soon as possible."
Although Guo Jia is usually very unreliable, at critical moments, he is definitely unambiguous. He nodded to show that he understood. Don’t worry, every move in Chang’an is under our control.
Yuan Shao's instructions were finalized, and he finally concluded: "During this period, everyone will work hard and make preparations for moving the capital first. After everything is over, I will thank you all. When we return to Jizhou, we will definitely discuss our merits. reward".
"Yes, my lord. I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment by working hard and bravely. Just wait for the good news."
All civil and military officials expressed their stance and shouted in unison.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied with this, so he asked everyone to go to their respective positions and take their responsibilities to complete the work they arranged.
For a time, there was a turmoil in Chang'an, and everyone knew that something big was going to happen.
Indeed, something big is going to happen, and it has nothing to do with moving the capital.
But to say it was a disaster, the danger was already very close, not far away.
