"Ah? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Jia Xu thought about it for a long time, but he had never heard of any emperor who was like this.
Even Qin II didn't kill to this extent, right?
How could this emperor treat the officials as human beings? They were clearly treated like chickens.
Lin Mu patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and said seriously.
"It's okay, you will know later."
Jia Xu looked at Lin Mu's back and didn't know what was going on, but suddenly felt a chill.
Half a year has passed in a flash.
After nearly half a year of renovation, Luoyang has become more complete.
Under the arrangement of Lin Mu, the people near Luoyang have also begun to return to their original fields.
As for the fields that were taken away by nearby wealthy families, they have basically been returned.
As for why these aristocratic families spit out the land they eat, there is no need to ask more.
After beating up these wealthy families, there was more food in Luoyang's official warehouse.
With the help of this food, Lin Mu asked Lu Zhi to start training soldiers.
In the past six months, Lu Zhi used the original 35,000 soldiers as the backbone, plus 50,000 newly recruited soldiers.
An army of 80,000 people has initially acquired the capability to fight.
But this is not enough. The army at this time has to fight with cold weapons. Soldiers who have never seen blood are simply vulnerable.
So Lin Mu decided to let them see blood.
"Although Lu Bu occupied Chang'an, he did not pity the people. It was common for him to plunder and plunder. Recently, he sent his troops to cross the pass. Hongnong County of Hedong County was plundered by the rebels. The people of the two counties were displaced. The emperor was furious and raised 30,000 troops to march in person. Rebel!"
After Jia Xu finished reading the edict, everyone was still a little confused, and it took a moment for them to react.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that! Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!"
Wang Jiang stood up from the crowd and shouted.
Seeing Wang Jiang standing up, Lu Zhi also stood up.
"Your Majesty, is there any reason in this world for a minister to sit back and watch the emperor personally conquer? I invite you to fight!"
Lin Mu glanced at Lu Zhi and then shook his head. He was not sure about letting Lu Zhi go.
If the historical records of Lu Zhi are correct, Lu Zhi still has half a year at most.
Let this old man lead the army to attack Chang'an. Lin Mu is worried that he will not die on the road.
Seeing Lu Zhi stand up, many other ministers also stood up and began to admonish Lin Mu.
They did know that Lin Mu was very skilled in martial arts, but he was leading an army in battle, and Lu Bu gathered an army of one hundred thousand.
Lin Mu only has an army of 30,000 men, half of whom have just been formed.
This is not to conquer Lu Bu, but to give Lu Bu the title of Dragon Slayer Warrior.
Seeing that Lin Mu didn't get angry because of the officials' obstruction, Yang Biao stood up.
"If your Majesty wants to expel the rebels from the two counties, it would be better for you to issue an edict and call the generals on the right chariot and cavalry to come."
The right cavalry general Yang Biao mentioned was Zhu Jun, who had rebelled against Dong a few days ago.
Zhu Jun was born into a poor family. He once led an army to defeat Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban in Montenegro, and was considered a famous general in the world.
The advice is indeed good advice. The only drawback is that this famous general has only a few years left to live.
After being defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si, his health deteriorated and it was impossible to lead the army.
"No! The people of the two counties are my Han people, and the people of Chang'an are my people. I am personally conquering Lu Bu, not just driving away the rebels. My decision has been made, and you don't need to say anything."
When the officials saw that Lin Mu had made up his mind, they could only agree.
After the military order was issued, the army began to mobilize, and the city of Luoyang began to become visibly busy.
The collection of military rations began, and the army began to prepare its armaments.
After three days everything was ready.
The purpose of sending troops this time was first to expel the rebels from the two counties.
These rebels all came from Tongguan, and the guard general of Tongguan was named Song Xian.
Song Xian is one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's command, and he is quite brave.
After Lu Bu captured Chang'an, Song Xian was sent to Tongguan by Lu Bu.
Tongguan was already poor, and Song Xian had not only the original Bingzhou soldiers and horses, but also the Xiliang soldiers and horses that were later gathered.
If these people are allowed to enjoy themselves in Chang'an, they will naturally be close to each other.
But now they are in a dangerous pass like Tongguan, and there is no oil or water.
It didn't matter if the time was short, but as time went on, the soldiers' resentment burst out.
Song Xian naturally understood what these soldiers were thinking, plus there were only more than 2,000 people guarding Tongguan in the imperial court.
After Song Xian thought about it briefly, he sent his troops to cross the pass, defeated the imperial troops, and rushed into the two counties to wreak havoc.
In Song Xian's opinion, what is so scary about the imperial court?
Everyone was talking about how powerful the emperor was, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he just assumed that the Xiliang soldiers were frightened.
Now he is in Lingbao County, Hongnong County. This Lingbao County is close to the Yellow River and not far from Tongguan. If things change, it only takes half an hour to return to Tongguan.
After being ravaged by Dong Zhuo, the people of Lingbao County were not very wealthy and their food was robbed. Therefore, local residents fished fish and shrimps from the river for food.
Song Xian pulled a plate of carp in front of him, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and tasted it carefully.
Just then a voice came from far and near.
"General! General!"
A soldier quickly ran into the hall and knelt in front of Song Xian.
Song Xian looked at the soldier impatiently, picked up another piece of fish with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
"The general is in trouble. The imperial court has sent 30,000 troops along the Yellow River towards Tongguan!"
"What?"
Song Xian stood up suddenly, grabbing his throat again as soon as he stood up.
The soldiers were a little surprised when they saw this, wondering what Song Xian was doing.
Song Xian struggled to get a few words out of his mouth.
"I got stuck on a fishbone..."
After some embarrassment, Song Xian took out the fish bone from his mouth, but now Song Xian couldn't care less.
"Who is leading the army? Lu Zhi or Zhu Jun?"
In Song Xian's opinion, these two people are the only ones who can lead the army in the imperial court now.
Others are either not qualified enough or lack the ability.
The imperial court can send generals, and the only ones who are qualified are these two old guys, and these two old guys are particularly good at fighting. It can be said that they have been in the military for a lifetime. If they really have to face these two veterans, Song Xian is still a little bit weak. .
"It's not these two, it's the Emperor."
"Emperor?"
"The emperor personally conquers."
Song Xian looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground.
"Are you trying to trick me?"
"That's absolutely true, General!"
Song Xian fell into deep thought. Could it be that what those Xiliang soldiers said was true?
Could it be that the emperor is really good at fighting?
Then Song Xian laughed, can he fight?
I want to see how good he can fight!
"Give me the order to gather the foreign soldiers and fight in Lingbao County!"
"yes!"
