The tent was full of people, and almost everyone had anxious expressions on their faces. Although no one was talking in the tent, it seemed extremely noisy.
Luochuan was sitting upright on his knees, his hands on his knees, his face very calm.
Apart from him, the only person who was relatively calm in the tent was Anyang Hou Hanli.
Because Han Li is the only one who is relatively safe.
He looked at the anxious faces of everyone and knew that he was the only one suitable to say these words now. He sighed slightly and said, "Mr. Zichuan, please lead your army back to Guandong."
With these words, the temperature in the camp seemed to be rising, and the heartbeat was beating violently. It could be seen that everyone was very nervous.
A sigh flashed across Luo Chuan's face and he looked at the crowd and said, "I know you are all anxious.
But you all know very well how difficult it is for the army to move.
The families were scattered among the states, and they were bound to divide their armies. Zhang Jiao defeated Yuan Shao's coalition army, and one can imagine how powerful it was.
The safest thing to do now is to stay with the imperial army, the Western Region Army of Wushuanghou, and the Qinwang Army of Hongnong and other counties.
If we return to Kanto, we will inevitably be weak, giving Taiping Dao an opportunity to take advantage of.
The road ahead is full of thorns, so you should think carefully. "
Han Zhang, the Marquis of Huaiyin, said with emotion: "Mr. Zichuan, how could we not know?
Our family has known each other for three hundred years. Now that we have followed you on the battlefield, are we still afraid of death?
The emperors of the Liu family have given them three hundred years of glory. We, Fengtian Jingnan, support the Liu family. Even if the destiny of the Han Dynasty declines, we just return all our flesh and blood to the Liu family.
What’s there to be afraid of! "
When Huaiyin Hou Han Zhang said this, everyone in the tent nodded in agreement and didn't think there was anything wrong.
This is the custom of the Han Dynasty, to eat the emperor's salary, to be loyal to the emperor, to be loyal to the master, and to die for loyalty. Even those ministers who are at odds with each other for their own interests will not hesitate when it is time to die loyal to the master.
Especially the position of prince of the five surnamed families is not so easy to bear.
When the word Huaiyin is mentioned, who comes to mind?
There have been countless Huaiyin Marquises in the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, but when I mention these two words, I will always think of Han Xin and Han Wumu!
The ancestor is too famous, just like the Luo family, this is the shackles he needs to bear. As the head of the family, he must be ready to be loyal to the royal family at any time.
After Han Zhang said these generous words, his tone became lowered and he said in a low voice: "Since I have inherited the title, life and death have long been ignored, but my relatives, wives and children are all in Guandong County.
The wife and daughter at home are beautiful, no matter they are officials or bandits, lustful things are like gangrene on the bones. Who can not covet them? If the city is destroyed, there is only one death.
The soldiers in the army are all warriors who have fought many battles. They have already put life and death aside, but now that their families are under the sword, even if they stay here, how can they still have the will to fight?
It would be better to lead the troops directly back to Guandong. If the Taiping Army really stops them, they will fight to the death if they are eager to return home. "
As soon as Han Zhang said these words, sighs could be heard in the tent. This was what everyone was most worried about.
From the time they took over the throne, life and death were no longer a consideration for them.
But the inheritance of the family, the reputation of the family, the stability of the tribe, and the safety of the family are all issues that need to be considered.
Not to mention the mentality of the soldiers. Even if they are veterans of many battles, if their families fall into the hands of the enemy, there is absolutely no other possibility except surrender.
Therefore, the protection of soldiers' families is one of the most important things for all princes.
If the soldiers in the front are fighting bloody battles, and then news comes from behind that their family is gone and the morale of the army is weakened, it will be light. The greater possibility is that the army mutinied.
What Han Zhang said was what everyone was saying. Of course Luo Chuan knew it and understood it, but in Luo Chuan's opinion, it was too dangerous to go back like this.
But humans are such irrational animals. They will make many mistakes and do things that they think are right now, but will prove to be wrong in the future.
Luochuan didn't have any extra words to make them put aside their worries. The Five Surnames family was such a huge organization, and the Luo family with a hundred thousand troops couldn't protect it.
Continuous wars, mainly due to the isolation of roads, have brought the world's commerce to stagnation and rapid decline. This has dealt a huge blow to the Luo family.
However, Zhaocheng has always had the habit of storing various supplies, and it will not be affected in the short term. Zhaocheng is now training tribesmen in batches to prevent possible major changes in the future.
If a warlord who is not afraid of death appears and is ready to come to the Luo clan to fight the autumn wind, he cannot directly use the increasingly rare and precious luck points and artifacts. He must still rely on the strength of the Luo clan to fight against him.
After hearing this, Luochuan knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he stood up from the table without saying a word, and then walked out of the camp. At a glance, there were whispers everywhere in the military camp.
Due to the deliberate spread of Taiping Road, the Yuan Shao coalition army was completely wiped out. The news that the Taiping soldiers pointed to Guandong spread everywhere, and the impetuousness of the military morale was obvious.
Everyone in the tent walked out one after another. Luo Chuan was looking at the army, and everyone was looking at him. After an unknown amount of time, Luo Chuan said leisurely: "I will go to see Wu Shuang Hou, so pack your bags."
As soon as Luo Chuan said this, everyone's faces showed joy at first, and then deep uneasiness. They all responded, and then went down to comfort their soldiers.
…
Luo Chuan didn't waste any time. Now that he had made up his mind, he would act vigorously and resolutely. After the guards informed him, he walked straight into Wushuang Hou Luokong's camp.
Seeing Luo Chuan's solemn face, Luo Kong and Jia Xu looked at each other. Luo Kong waved his hand and asked Luo Chuan to sit down. Jia Xu waved the feather fan in his hand and slowly took two steps back, hiding himself in the shadows.
"Brother-in-law is here because all the families in Guandong want to lead their armies home?"
It was easy to deduce this based on Jia Xu's grasp of people's hearts. Luo Chuan nodded with a heavy face and said: "Ziming, I wanted to fight side by side with you, but the troops are returning home like an arrow, so I'm afraid it won't work."
Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from Jia Xu, who was hiding in the shadows. "It is best for Duke Zichuan to lead his army and stay in the army. Returning to Guandong, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and we will definitely encounter the Taiping Road."
Luo Chuan still has a deep impression of Jia Xu. This is a counselor who usually doesn't speak, but when he speaks, he gets to the point. He never misses the target.
But Luo Chuan smiled when he heard this and said, "How could I not know what you said, Wen He?
But I brought these people out from Kanto. These people defected because of my reputation. Now if I don’t bring these people back safely, how can I rest assured? "
Jia Xu stopped talking.
This is Luo's style, and this is the fundamental reason why Jia Xu is willing to follow Luo. As long as he upholds his integrity, Luo will never abandon him. For someone like him who seeks stability, he is the best choice. choice.
Luo Kong did not try to dissuade him. He cupped his fists and said, "We will submit a letter together in Luoyang, saying that we will go to Guandong to fight against the Taiping Army. King Qin's army already has autonomy."
Luo Chuan nodded. Naturally, when he returned to Guandong, he couldn't tell the emperor directly that we were no longer the King of Qin. That would be too ugly.
Looking at Luo Chuan's figure turning away, Luo Kong suddenly felt blood all over the sky in front of his eyes. He seemed to see countless blood on Luo Chuan's feet every step he took.
Luo Kong was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly said: "The Central Plains is a land of outstanding people. Many Han people in the Western Regions want to return to the Central Plains. Even many Han people in Wushuang Hou Kingdom think so.
The nobles of the Central Plains did not take the nobles of the Western Regions seriously, and were even despised as barbarians in their hearts.
If I, the Unparalleled Marquis of the Western Region, had not had the sacred mark between my eyebrows, I would have been ostracized to death when I came to this land in the Central Plains.
But now looking at the five surnamed princes leaving in a hurry, I suddenly feel that the Western Region is really a treasure land, at least it can preserve the family better than the Central Plains. "
Jia Xu knew that Luo Kong was talking to him because of his feelings. He took two steps forward and walked out of the shadows. This was the contradiction between the powerful nobles and nobles.
He pondered for a moment and said: "There is an iron law in politics that the closer you are to the core of power, the greater the power in your hands. This is why people like eunuchs and relatives can rise.
The nobles in places like the Western Regions and Lingnan are indeed very safe in troubled times, but in non-troubled times, the whole family may be wiped out by Luoyang's decree.
Therefore, in order to gain power, they must be close to the capital, and even move their families to the capital for convenience. This is the case for Luoyang wealthy families like the Yuan family.
But the disadvantage of this is that the risk is greatly increased, and it is easy for someone to take over.
The resources and power that the many wealthy families now trapped in Luoyang City are not even as good as an ordinary gentry warlord.
In fact, Zhaocheng is the most suitable place to stay in these borderlands. Xu has always believed that Zhaocheng is really inappropriate in Jizhou. "
Luo Kong didn't expect that Jia Xu, who was usually taciturn, would say so many words at once today. It seemed that Jia Xu had gradually integrated into the Luo family.
But the capital city of a country cannot be moved lightly, let alone the Luo family. Where should it be moved?
After saying this, Jia Xu raised the feather fan in his hand and stopped talking. This was when facing Luo Shizi. If he worshiped other lords, he would never say so much.
…
Luo Xiao looked at the information he had just obtained with a serious expression on his face. He saw that the five surnamed families and the heroes from the counties had indeed returned to Guandong as he had expected.
The generals of the Taiping Army were all sitting in the hall. This information was also in their hands. They all said excitedly: "Master Dao, the Han court has divided its forces again. Do we want to attack them?"
These generals all knew that Luo Xiao had been trying to get the Han Dynasty to divide its troops to reduce the pressure on subsequent attacks. Now it seems that the plan has been implemented very successfully.
The sudden return of the five surnamed families resulted in a very long battle line, and various supplies could not keep up. Even if the Zhu family's armored soldiers were elite, for Luo Xiao, defeating such an army was naturally easy.
But for Luo Xiao, there is no benefit in blocking an army that is eager to return. Moreover, even if this army returns to Guandong, it will still have to face the turbulent Taiping Dao and various rebel armies besides Taiping Dao.
As soon as Taiping Dao took the lead in the uprising, countless rebels immediately emerged who had long been unwilling to endure it. This was the main reason why the states and counties were unable to stop the uprising.
Otherwise, Taiping Dao only had hundreds of thousands of Taoists, and under the constraints of Luo Xiao, how could it suddenly become so strong without resorting to the tactics of breaking the city and coercing it.
In today's Kanto, there are millions of rebels under the banner of Taiping Dao, but in fact many of them are fake. Among them are bandits who do all kinds of evil, some rebels and farmers who do not want to be oppressed, but Luo Xiao just thinks I didn’t even see Tsukuru.
He is always sober and does not try to be everyone's savior or save everyone's fate.
That is God's domain, not man's.
Ever since that day, when the stars fell, he knew that he had only one goal from beginning to end, and that was to be a doctor in the world.
The Han Dynasty was supposed to last four hundred years, but the appearance of the Luo family changed everything. According to reality, it should not have lasted four hundred years, so the world continued in decay, degeneration, and constant decay.
No matter how capable people are, they cannot change the gradual erosion of the Han Dynasty. Those who want to create a new world will be suppressed mercilessly by destiny. This will be the dark world in the next hundred years.
It's like a person has a fatal sore on his body, but there is always a thousand-year-old ginseng hanging on his life.
What Luo Xiao did was to directly destroy the Millennium Ginseng and kill this person quickly. As for what the new people who will appear in the future will be like.
That is beyond his ability, because he is about to die, he is just a mortal, and completing the first step is enough.
There are countless talents in this world, and Luo Xiao believes that these people can choose the best path for the world.
Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Xiao's mind, and he finally said slowly: "The Yinghou Luochuan is leading a group of people who are eager to return home. It is not appropriate to stop the pen and ink from being brought. I want to write a letter to the Yinghou.
Then we led the army directly to Luoyang and fought a decisive battle with the Han Dynasty's last army guarding Luoyang. "
When all the channel commanders in the hall heard this, their faces were filled with solemn expressions. They straightened their bodies one after another, clasped their fists together and said, "I will obey the orders of the Taoist Master!"
————
Zhang Jiao is one of the few insurrectionists who can receive a relatively positive evaluation from the ruling class. Ancient rulers usually slandered insurrectionists as careerists and bandits, but Zhang Jiao received the reputation of "officials forced the people to rebel" and "the emperor is too stupid to be reused." A wise man will lead to the destruction of the country" and the evaluation of "King Zhang".
This was an unimaginable achievement in the ancient autocracy that advocated loyalty. The author has delved into the reasons and finally came to the following conclusion.
First, during the period when Zhang Jue dominated the world, those who became famous later had fought against Zhang Jue, sympathized with Zhang Jue's experiences, and admired Zhang Jue's abilities.
Second, Zhang Jiao's martial arts and martial arts skills have been relatively completely recorded in history books. This is a man with almost no black spots.
Third, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was contemporary with Zhang Jiao, was portrayed as a typical foolish emperor, which gave Zhang Jiao a great deal of room for action.
This is Zhang Jiao, the number one "anti-thief" in the world, a genius that even his enemies can't help but admire. ——"The Biography of Zhang Jiao"
