Chapter 482 Young Master Li Is King Li Chuang?

Since the intruders occupied Luoyang, how to attack them next has become the focus of attention.

Mengjin County, [-] miles north of Luoyang, was still under the control of the government army, and after Zhang Cheng withdrew, Yanshi County was captured again by the intruders, but they did not continue to attack eastward to take Hulao Pass.

Only teams of mules, horses and donkeys transported the confiscated food and belongings from the south gate of Luoyang, and transported them to the old bandit camp in Funiu Mountain via Wangchenggang. The team drove in the direction of the Funiu Mountains.

On December [-]th, there were rumors that Chuangwang's troops were attacking Ruzhou City from all directions, and wanted to open up the "Wanzhu" main road from Luoyang to Xuchang, Nanyang and Runan, connecting western Henan and southern Henan.

In the afternoon of December 21st, the Fuwang Palace in Luoyang suddenly burst into flames from all sides, and the flames rose in an instant. The fire ignited and lasted for several days.

At this time, Li Yan was talking softly with his younger brother Li Mou in the study of his mansion, and he didn't seem to be aware of the soaring fire in the Fuwang Palace in the distance.

Li Mo had been stationed in the old camp of Deshengzhai in Funiu Mountain before, and he came to Luoyang City last night. He came to see his brother Li Yan after lunch today.

Li Mou first asked about Li Yan's distribution of relief in Luoyang, and then he said with a bewildered air: "This is the land of Wan and Luo, and it is the fundamental plan to control the Central Plains in order to fight for the world. Why don't you come in front of King Chuang?" strive?"

Li Yan smiled wryly, and said: "I also know that the imperial court is in a state of decline today, and the army is at the end of its strength, and it is the right time to occupy Wan and Luo to control the Central Plains.

Reluctantly, King Chuang has no intention of concentrating on running one place at present, especially in Wan and Luo, and most of the generals never forget their hometown in Shaanxi.

You and my brothers are both natives of Henan, so it’s hard to talk about some things! "

Li Mo didn't care about his elder brother's reminder, he continued to ask: "You didn't talk to the military adviser, ask him to persuade King Chuang?"

"Let's talk. It's a pity that I'm still hesitating in making suggestions, and I don't want to seriously persuade King Chuang."

Li Mo pondered for a while and said, "Since the proposal is so so, I think there must be a reason for it."

Li Yan glanced at his younger brother and said: "The offer of advice is also to see that the veteran around King Chuang has a lot of care for his hometown, and he probably agrees to fully manage Guanzhong, so he supported my suggestion at first, but then he hesitated.

In addition, King Chuang also thought that Wan and Luo were dilapidated, with ten rooms and nine empty houses and few people. It would not be very cost-effective to defend here now. "

Li Mo nodded lightly and said, "King Chuang's idea is not unreasonable."

Li Yan continued: "King Chuang thought it would be better to go east to the east and middle of Henan, and fight a few more battles to further exhaust the officers and soldiers. When the situation is calmer, he will start to choose a place to set up officials and people. Reward cultivation and restore farming and mulberry.

King Chuang is looking at military affairs, so it is naturally reasonable. What I am afraid of is that if I don't plan a deep-rooted strategy early, if the battle is frustrated in the future, there will be no basis for retreat, what can I do? "

Li Mo thought for a while, then suddenly said with a smile: "I thought about it carefully, and King Chuang has a lot of advantages, and some of his actions in Luoyang are also evidence. I thought about it for a while, and he will definitely choose a place to build it. fundamental."

Li Yan also nodded and said: "Yes. King Chuang does have many extraordinary things, which are beyond the reach of today's heroes.

Just like after Luoyang was broken, he refused to live in the palace of King Fu, did not covet enjoyment, and set an example for the generals to try their best. This is quite the ambition of Liu Bang in the early Han Dynasty.

Another example was on the evening of the twelfth, when the army entered Luoyang City, he suddenly ordered that "after the city is broken, the current civil and military officials in Luoyang will not be killed unless they continue to lead the crowd to resist." '

This move is quite unexpected, and it is rare in ancient and modern times! "

Li Mo said, "That's right. We were also surprised when we heard this in the old camp of Deshengzhai. We all thought that King Chuang was too lenient."

Li Yan nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, he said to Li Mo with a heavy heart: "From now on, we must be cautious in everything we do, and we must not forget that we are being forced to rebel and have nowhere to hide because of King Chuang's sincerity. Came to join King Chuang's account."

Li Mo was very surprised by his brother's serious expression and tone, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened recently? Didn't someone say that we are not loyal to the king and conquer the world?"

Li Yan glanced at his younger brother before continuing: "No one said that, it's just my negligence."

He paused, and then said: "Maybe it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm too sensitive!"

Turning his head and seeing Li Mo's eager eyes, he continued: "King Chuang is open-minded and magnanimous, and he came to Henan for the first time. He may not have taken this matter to heart. , just this incident, maybe it will cause a catastrophe for us.

I have severely reprimanded Ziying and the others who handled the relief work under me, and I have also reprimanded myself, taking this matter as a warning forever.

Luckily, Suggestion is our good friend, who reminded me secretly in time, otherwise, it would be extremely terrifying to continue! "

Hearing what he said, Li Mo became even more anxious, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what is it that is so terrifying?"

Li Yan shook his head first, then sighed again, and then said: "King Chuang trusts me, so he entrusted me to handle the relief of the hungry people, not only in Luoyang, but also in Xin'an and Yiyang. Also leave it all to me.

I should have done this carefully so that the people of Heluo would praise King Chuang's life even more, but I was negligent in this matter!

Now, although King Chuang treats me politely as usual, it is unknown whether he has no grudges in his heart.

We followed King Chuang Riqian, neither like Jiexuan and other generals who have lived and died with King Chuang for many years, nor like Qidong and King Chuang who met after the defeat of Tongguan Nanyuan, nor like offering advice and offering prophecy.

We were at a time when we had no place to stand, Mu Yi came to vote, and we were trusted and trusted, and there was no reward. This time, King Chuang entrusted me with the important task of helping the people of Heluo, but I couldn't be careful, and almost died. Big mistake.

Of course, I can’t blame Ziying and the others for only seeing me in their eyes, and they don’t know the heights of heaven and earth, and they don’t understand reason. What’s more, it’s because I was born as an eunuch, and I’m used to hearing other people’s praises at home, and I’m used to it.

I can't really understand that today we are the king and the king. We must not make people feel that I owe it to myself and invite people's hearts for myself. Good end! "

Li Mo was even more surprised when he heard that, and asked anxiously, "Brother, what is it?"

Li Yan said slowly: "The thing is like this, no matter it is in Luoyang, Xin'an, or Yiyang, the common people see that I am the one giving relief, so they all say that Mr. Li is their life-saving benefactor.

Some people don't know why, but they even say that Mr. Li is King Li Chuang, and King Li Chuang is Mr. Li. I was told by Xian Cun that these sayings have spread far and wide, and have not been limited to the Heluo area. "

Li Mo hurriedly asked again: "Did King Chuang hear that?"

"Suggestion, someone told King Chuang, and King Chuang laughed out loud, without any hint of embarrassment. Although King Chuang is very open-minded, but..."

Li Mo stopped him and said, "This situation is indeed terrible. Although King Chuang doesn't care about it, others will..."

Li Mo hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a soldier ran in and hurriedly reported that King Chuang had arrived. Brother Li Yan stood up suddenly and hurried out to meet him.
