Chapter 144 Layout
Princess Wannian insisted on going, but Liu Bian had no choice but to take Princess Wannian there.On the way, he ran into Cao Cao who had returned from a great victory.

Seeing Cao Cao, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Cao Aiqing looks happy, must have defeated the Xiliang army?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know. The Xiliang army originally wanted to ambush us. Fortunately, Lin Yu, a kid, caught us. He took over and burned them all! It's really enjoyable!" Xia Houdun laughed loudly.

"A certain family doesn't dare to claim credit for this battle. Thanks to Lin Yu's early discovery, a certain family was able to win a big victory!" Cao Cao knew the truth of the master's meritorious service, and the pursuit of the Xiliang soldiers would probably come to an end here. He got something, but he defeated the Xiliang army, so it is inevitable that some people gossip.

Cao Cao was half humble and half condescending, so Liu Bian understood Cao Cao's meaning, but now he has subdued Cao Cao. As the saying goes, don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people who don't want to use them, don't use them if you don't want to use them, use them well if you decide to use them, Save yourself trouble.

As for Cao Cao, Liu Bian intends to use it well, not to mention that there is a system that can detect the loyalty of characters.Liu Bian smiled slightly and said, "Lin Yu has meritorious service, and you also have meritorious service. When I return to Luoyang, I will reward you for your merit!"

"By the way, Meng De, how is the Xiliang army doing now?"

"The last general burned Xu Rong's [-] Xiliang army, blocked the official road with rolling stones, and left casually! Later scouts came to report, Zhang Liao and others collected the corpses of the Xiliang army, and then went west. I'm afraid we will soon enter Hangu Pass!" Cao Cao cupped his hands.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" Liu Bian sighed deliberately.

"Your Majesty, the Hangu Pass is not as steep as Hulao Pass, it is even more serious! Now that there are Zhang Liao and other troops stationed there, it is difficult for us and the cavalry to break through. Why not go back to Luoyang first and discuss it later!" Some princes were afraid of Liu. Bian still wanted to pursue, feeling sorry for the cavalry under his command, he quickly opened his mouth and said.

"That's right, I wait for the cavalry to be good at attacking the city, so it's better to wait for the infantry to arrive and be good at attacking!"

Several princes asked Liu Bian to retreat, Liu Bian was naturally so happy, nodded and said: "Hangu Pass is steep, and now our soldiers are exhausted, so let's go back to Luoyang first, and discuss it!"

Although Cao Cao wanted to continue the pursuit, Zhang Liao was not mediocre.At this moment, he must have entered Hangu Pass, and if he can't hold out, it will be useless to continue chasing him.

Liu Bian and the princes from all walks of life made a decision, turned their horses and returned to Luoyang.In the afternoon and evening, a group of cavalry gradually returned to Luoyang.

The cavalry of the princes from all walks of life were still camping outside the city. Liu Bian returned to his temporary residence and summoned Wei Xiaokuan to meet him.

"Xiaokuan, have you found out about Li Ru?" Liu Bian asked Wei Xiaokuan as he sat cross-legged.

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head and said: "Luoyang City Jinyiwei is not powerful enough, it is difficult to investigate for a while, but I have interrogated the Xiliang Army, I can be sure that Li Ru must still be in Luoyang City!"

"Then what do you think Li Ru is still planning in Luoyang?" Wei Xiaokuan was the best at trying to figure out people's hearts, so Liu Bian asked Xiang Wei Xiaokuan to explain his doubts.

"Li Ru stayed in Luoyang for two reasons. One is to continue to destroy Luoyang! There are millions of people in Luoyang. If Luoyang is destroyed, it will be difficult for His Majesty to restore the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo can continue to be king and hegemony!" Wei Xiaokuan pondered.

"Is there another reason?" Liu Bian continued to ask.

"The other thing is to destroy the alliance of princes! The princes from all walks of life are united, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. If your majesty does not have their help, there will be less than [-] soldiers and horses to use! And Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, sitting in the middle of the pass. Once the Lu princes are gone, in Li Ru's eyes, Dong Zhuo still has a chance to make a comeback!" Wei Xiaokuan said firmly.

If Li Ru came here again, he would be horrified, Wei Xiaokuan explained his purpose of staying in Luoyang in a few words.

"Heh, Li Ru wanted to destroy the alliance, but I didn't expect that I would also like these uncles to go back soon!" Liu Bian said with a chuckle.

"Your Majesty, if the princes from all walks of life leave, your majesty's power in Luoyang must be weak. What should we do if Dong Zhuo comes to attack?" Wei Xiaokuan worried.

"Who is Dong Zhuo? He never stopped me from entering Bingzhou. Now that I have Luoyang, I can form a large army in a short time. How dare Dong Zhuo attack?" Liu Bian smiled.

Wei Xiaokuan nodded and said: "That's right, once a person like Dong Zhuo has power, he will have no ambition to make progress!"

"Now that Xiaokuan has won Luoyang, there are still a few things you need to do well!"

Wei Xiaokuan respectfully said: "Your Majesty, please order!"

"One is Li Ru. This Li Ru held the queen and queen mother hostage when I left Luoyang. I don't want him to live! And if he is still in Luoyang, he is a danger. You must be vigilant at all times! If he really If you want to destroy the alliance of princes, you will definitely go to the princes from all walks of life to capture him, and you can make a fuss from this!" Liu Bian said solemnly.

Ordinary people, Liu Bian, are not afraid, so it is because he is superior in wisdom and force, but as long as he can use his brain, there is always a way to deal with it, but people like Li Ru, who hide in the dark, but use unscrupulous means to slander people behind their backs, say Maybe one day, he would be tricked by him, and Liu Bian was determined to take Li Ru's life.

Wei Xiaokuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not let Li Ru leave Luoyang alive!"

"Although Li Ru may destroy the alliance of princes, it is only possible. You have to collect the contradictions among the princes from all walks of life and let their conflicts continue to expand! I have many things that can only be carried out if the princes from all walks of life leave!"

"The minister has already started to do these things!" Wei Xiaokuan nodded.

"This is finally a question of the development of Jinyiwei!"

"The development of Jinyiwei?" Wei Xiaokuan asked doubtfully.

Liu Bian nodded and said: "Jinyiwei is divided into light and dark divisions. They are under your direct command to monitor the world, and they secretly train assassins for Wang Shi'a, perform assassination, sabotage and other tasks. You are unified under your command and only listen to me. Order!"

"Now is a good opportunity to expand the scale of Jinyiwei!" Liu Bian chuckled.

"Your Majesty is saying to deal with Jin Yiwei Anzi among the armies of various princes?" Wei Xiaokuan asked tentatively.After all, Jinyiwei was founded by Liu Bian, and Wei Xiaokuan also became a monk halfway through. He also listened to Liu Bian's words for many systems of Jinyiwei.

"That's right, Jinyiwei can only play its role to the maximum during wartime. During peacetime, only officials can be prosecuted. Now the most powerful princes in the world basically gather in Luoyang, and the soldiers in the army are also good and bad. It is precisely among the princes from all walks of life that they develop The best time for Jin Yiwei's forces! At that time, I will be in peace, and with this power, it will be much easier!"

"Your Majesty understands, I will definitely handle the few things that His Majesty told you!" Wei Xiaokuan said respectfully.

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal Wei Xiaokuan to step down. After Wei Xiaokuan left, Liu Bian summoned the system and asked, "Now that the battle against Dong has ended, why hasn't the reward from the system been given out? Furthermore, my participation in the battle against Dong should be considered a major event." Right? Why is there no news of intrusion?"

"The princes from all walks of life have not yet left. The system has determined that the battle against Dong has not yet ended. The system rewards will not be released until the princes from all walks of life have left!" The voice of the system rang in Liu Bian's mind.

"Well, I can only get my points after a while!" Liu Bian said helplessly, curling his lips.
