Chapter 353: Liu Bang enters Shu
The ministers looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Yuan Gu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the situation at Hulao Pass is better than that at Xiaopingjin, so Wei Chen thinks that troops can be transferred from Hulao Pass to meet the urgent need."
As a veteran in politics, how could Wang Yun not know that Yuan Xu said he was dispatching troops on the surface, but in fact he was taking the opportunity to help Yuan Shao fight for military power.
The Han Dynasty was on the verge of life and death, but the Yuan family still thought about their own interests. This made Wang Yun not angry, but he immediately stood up and retorted loudly.
"Xiang Yu's current strength has only increased to 100,000, while Qin Wen has to face Zhang Jiao's 300,000 army. The pressure is much higher than that of Yuan Shao, so the troops at Hulao Pass must not be moved lightly."
Yuan Gui immediately showed a displeased look on his face, and asked with a cold face: "If Xiaopingjin is lost, Luoyang will be directly exposed to the Yellow Turbans' soldiers. Then what's the point of Hulao Gate being strong?"
After the fall of Mengjin Pass, Xiaopingjin was the focus of the war, and the role of Hulao Pass was no longer what it was before.
Although what Yuan Xu said was true, Wang Yun knew that he was secretly changing his concept, so he immediately and mercilessly responded angrily.
“The imperial court gave Yuan Benzhu 50,000 elite troops, and he also relied on the majestic pass of Xiaopingjin. If he can’t stop an enemy force twice as large as his own, it would be better to change his general as soon as possible.”
“You...hum, it’s better than someone breaking down at the first touch!”
Yuan Xu didn't expect Wang Yun to be so disrespectful. Although he was angry, he couldn't refute, so he had no choice but to direct his hatred in that direction.
He Jin was so angry that he was actually being harmed by Chi Yu. He was really treating himself as a soft persimmon, but in the end He Jin suppressed his words and just touched his nose in embarrassment.
Seeing the commotion in the court, Liu Hong couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately slapped the seat and shouted: "That's enough, shut up."
Seeing that the emperor was angry, everyone naturally did not dare to say anything more. Seeing this, Liu Hong said calmly: "The troops at Hulao Pass must not be moved rashly. After the reinforcements from Guanzhong and Yizhou arrive, they can immediately go to reinforce Xiaopingjin. And in Yuan Shao must support me before this!"
Xiang Yu is not Zhang Jiao, and Yuan Shao is not Qin Wen. It is not easy for Yuan Shao to persist under Xiang Yu until reinforcements arrive.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had Cao Cao and Sun Jian to help him, otherwise Xiao Pingjin might have been hidden by Xiang Yu.
Yang Biao stood up with a serious face and spoke again: "Your Majesty, if one hundred thousand Yizhou troops leave the territory, it may give other rebel forces an opportunity. Wei Chen suggested that good generals should be sent to take charge in case of any unexpected events. !”
If Si Li cannot be defended, the Han court will retreat to Guanzhong, and if Guanzhong cannot be defended, Yizhou will be the Han Dynasty's last retreat, so the safety of Yizhou is of vital importance.
“What I love you to say makes sense.”
Liu Hong nodded, thought for a while, and then ordered: "According to my decree, Liu Yan, the prefect of Zhuo County, is appointed as the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Ji (Ji, Liu Bang), the commander of the Dian Military Academy, is appointed as the prefect of Yong'an, and the two of them are ordered to go Yizhou shocked Xiaoxiao."
Liu Hong felt guilty about Liu Ji, his illegitimate son, so if he had a good job, Liu Hong would naturally keep it for his son.
If possible, Liu Hong even wanted to grant the position of governor of Yizhou to Liu Ji. Unfortunately, Liu Ji did not have that prestige, so he could only let Liu Ji help Liu Yan.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty, where is Guanzhong?” Yuan Feng asked impatiently, obviously wanting to arrange for his family to enter, but this was almost impossible.
Guanzhong is the territory of the Kansai family, and as the leader of Guandong, even if the Yuan family is in power, it is impossible for Guanxi to agree to let the Yuan family extend their hands into Guanzhong.
Liu Hong naturally knew what Yuan Feng was planning. After taking a deep look at him, he said calmly: "I am going to temporarily move the capital to Chang'an and personally seize the opportunity to seize Guanzhong."
Liu Hong's words were undoubtedly a big earthquake when they reached the ears of the group and ministers. They all subconsciously felt that Liu Hong was about to run away. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. After all, Luoyang is no longer safe, and how can you, as an emperor, put yourself in danger?
But the key point is that the war is now at an important juncture. If the emperor abandons the capital and runs away at this time, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the soldiers at the front, and the chance of victory will be even slimmer.
He Jin, who had been silent until he heard this, quickly jumped out to support and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I also think that your Majesty should temporarily move the capital to Chang'an, and then return to Luoyang after the Yellow Turban rebellion is defeated. This is the best strategy."
He Jin was completely frightened by Xiang Yu. He was willing to go anywhere as long as he could stay away from the battlefield, so he was the first to stand up and support moving the capital.
“No, Your Majesty must not move the capital.”
“Your Majesty, moving the capital at this time is equivalent to handing over the entire Sizhou to the Yellow Turbans, why don’t you think twice!”
Wang Yun and Yang Biao successively stood up to persuade him, and then loyal ministers also stood up to oppose him.
"You claim to be a loyal minister, but you disregard His Majesty's safety. Is this the way to be a minister?" He Jin said with a sneer.
"He Jin, just because of your one mistake, 300,000 of our elite men were killed. What qualifications do you have to make a fuss here?"
Yang Biao pointed at He Jin and asked sternly, and the scar was uncovered again, and He Jin's face became extremely ugly. After snorting coldly, he stopped speaking.
The ministers who supported moving the capital occupied about four levels. After He Jin, the biggest supporter, fell silent, the group opposed to moving the capital instantly gained the upper hand.
Liu Hong raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said slowly: "Do you really think that my move to move the capital is for your own safety?"
Is there any other reason? Most of the ministers thought so in their hearts, but of course they would never say it out loud.
“Yesterday Emperor Gaozu entrusted me with a dream.”
The ministers felt that they could not keep up with Liu Hong's thinking, why did they suddenly talk about Gaozu and dreams?
“In my dream, Emperor Gaozu told me how to defeat the Yellow Turbans. Moving the capital was only the first step.”
This reason is so powerful that it makes people speechless. When the country was in crisis, the founding emperor asked a dream to solve the crisis. Well, there is nothing wrong with it, not at all.
But Gaozu didn’t ask for dreams a long time ago and couldn’t figure it out, so why did he ask for dreams at this time?
Few ministers in the court believe it. The emperor even made up excuses such as the great ancestor's dream. He has obviously made up his mind, and it is probably useless to try to persuade him.
You can play however you like. Anyway, this big guy doesn't have much capital to defeat you. Some loyal ministers thought with dismay.
“Wang Aiqing, Yang Aiqing...you stay and help me refer to Gaozu’s strategy. If it is not feasible, I will never move the capital.”
Liu Hong has made up his mind to hang up Liu Bang's name, which will make things more convenient. However, Liu Hong probably never imagined that the ancestor he talked about has now become his son, and he has even been sent to Shu.
