Yuan Shao nodded happily when he saw that Zhang Liao recovered under his persuasion. After that, he glanced around and saw that except for his military advisors Jushu and Zhao Yun, as well as Zhu Ling who went to support them, all the other generals who had followed him to Chang'an were here.
This time I can end my trip to Chang'an, so as not to have long nights and many dreams. I have been away from Jizhou for a long time. To be honest, I am very worried about the situation in Jizhou, even though there are so many civil servants and military generals guarding my hometown.
His purpose of coming to Chang'an has been basically achieved, and Emperor Xian is basically under his control. Although Chang'an is still a little uneasy, the overall situation has been decided, and the royalists and the others are powerless.
Now it's time to discuss the strategy for Chang'an. Once things here are settled, you can go home. Jizhou, no, it should be said that Hebei is the foundation of one's own foothold and the basis for one's dominance in the world.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao became more determined to solve a series of things in Chang'an as soon as possible, so he could go to Jizhou.
Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by the sound of pushing the door open. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Ju Shou, Zhao Yun, and Zhu Ling who were back, so fast.
"Please punish me, my lord. I almost lost Chang'an because of your lord's great trust. Although I have recovered it now, my soldiers sacrificed their lives in vain. What a sin!"
Needless to say, the person who could say this must be his number one military advisor, Jusao. Yuan Shao looked up, and sure enough, Ju Shou knelt on the ground and apologized.
Fearing that Yuan Shao would blame Jushu, Zhao Yun and Zhu Ling knelt down to plead guilty together and exonerate Jushu.
"My lord, forgive me. The military advisor is not responsible for the turmoil in Chang'an. It's just that the enemy is too cunning. It's all our fault. Please punish me, lord."
"Haha, okay, I know this is not your mistake, it's all mine, and I can't blame you. The strategists and generals stand up and speak, don't kneel down." Yuan Shao admitted his mistake and forgave them.
"Thank you, Lord." The three of them just stood up, found their seats and sat down, waiting for the Lord's instructions.
Yuan Shao saw that everyone was here and could hold a meeting to discuss business matters.
At that moment, he was the first to speak and said, "Now that our army has regained Chang'an, and the rebel forces in the city have been basically eradicated, there is nothing left to worry about. I have no intention of leaving this here. Our army can consider returning and evacuating Chang'an. What do you think? ".
Yuan Shao's words stunned the generals. They also planned to take revenge and clean up the die-hards in the city. They did not expect that their lord had already thought of leaving Chang'an, and they were very surprised.
They were surprised, but Jushou was not surprised at all. It is indeed necessary to leave Chang'an. There is really no point in spending any more time here. He stood up immediately and expressed his opinion.
"What your lord said is absolutely true. I thought that after clearing away the stubborn forces in the imperial court, I could leave. And it should be as soon as possible. I am really worried about the safety of Yecheng. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!"
Yuan Shao saw that Ju Shou had the same opinion as him, so he stood up to support him. He glanced at Guo Jia, although he looked like it had nothing to do with him, but nodded slightly, which betrayed his idea. It seemed that he also agreed to abandon Chang'an and return to his hometown as soon as possible. of.
Seeing that the two military advisors agreed to return to Jizhou as soon as possible, Yuan Shao also felt confident and just about to speak, he decided to leave for home. But he was interrupted by an objection.
"No, Chang'an is the ancient capital and an important place in Yongzhou. How can we abandon it so easily? Besides, Chang'an was bought by our brothers at the cost of their lives. How can we explain to them that we are abandoning it casually? I thought that not only should we not abandon the defense, but we should also send heavy troops. guard."
When everyone heard this, they saw Zhang Liao standing up to object, looking very excited and a little angry. I don’t understand why the brothers’ blood was shed in vain and they were evacuated from Chang’an.
"Yes, we can't evacuate easily. We won this with great difficulty, how can we give up so easily!"
"Yes, General Zhang is right, we do not support the evacuation of Chang'an either!"
As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, the generals below him resonated. They all didn't understand why Hao Hao had to evacuate Chang'an, and ordered them to stand up and shout in support. Except Zhao Yun frowned slightly, thinking deeply.
Seeing that the generals were a little excited, the meeting hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market. Yuan Shao had to stand up and appease them.
"Generals, please be patient and don't be anxious. Our military advisor Jushou hasn't spoken yet. Please listen to his explanation."
After listening to their lord's persuasion, the generals stopped for a moment and focused their attention on Jushou, waiting for his explanation.
Jushu saw that his lord had left it to him to explain the reasons, and the generals were staring at him fiercely. He was not afraid to refuse, but argued with reason.
"Generals, please calm down. I have something to ask you to think about. The current Chang'an, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than useless. It's a pity to leave without any intention. Everyone is well aware of our current strength and our focus. Unifying Hebei is not about Guanzhong. It is unnecessary to leave a heavy army in Chang'an, and it is impossible to defend it if there are too few soldiers. Instead of doing this, it is better to simply abandon the defense. It would be better to leave useful soldiers and horses to do what should be done. significance!"
Seeing that everyone was attracted by his words and seemed to be persuading, Jushou added fire and continued.
"Of course, I also know that we have suffered a lot in Chang'an this time, and many brothers will stay here forever. Everyone is very sad, and I am also very sad. I understand this feeling. But not only will we not gain anything by staying here, we will also make people feel sad. The other soldiers died in vain. Is this worthy of the dead brothers? I don't think so. Besides, a general should assess the situation, take the overall situation into consideration, and sacrifice small righteousness for great righteousness. I wonder what General Zhang Liao thinks?"
The generals were obviously persuaded by Jushou, and they did not speak for a long time, indicating their acquiescence.
Hearing Jushou's roll call, Zhang Liao felt a little ashamed. He stood up and apologized, "I was impulsive because I didn't think well. What the military advisor said is true. Please give me the order, and Zhang Liao will obey it."
Seeing that Jushou had convinced the generals not to speak anymore, Yuan Shao was very satisfied and stood up and said decisively.
"Since there is no objection to everyone's opinions, it has been decided that the army will set off back to Jizhou in three days without any mistakes. In these three days, everyone will take care of themselves, take revenge if they have any grudges, complain if they have any grievances, and stabilize the situation in Chang'an. When things are sorted out, Let’s move the capital to Yecheng together with our Majesty!”
"It's my lord, we obey!"
"Obey my lord!"
All the civil servants and generals stood up together to show their obedience to the order.
At this time, Guo Jia also took the opportunity to suggest, "After evacuating Chang'an, my lord can hand over the guarding of the capital to those pretentious court ministers. I believe they will be very happy."
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
After saying this, he burst out laughing. Yuan Shao and everyone understood, saying that I understood, and started laughing.
After that, Yuan Shao discussed other things in Chang'an with them, then asked everyone to go down to prepare, and return to Jizhou when the time is up.
