Chapter 309: Hulao Pass Determination Plan

Li Qin was very hesitant about the abdication and was not enthusiastic, but his generals were more excited than each other. They could almost be said to be running around and telling each other. The news became more and more outrageous. Before a morning, the abdication was reported that Li Qin had become emperor!

Li Qin was still dealing with the prisoners here in Yuancheng, but generals kept coming over. Everyone asked Li Qin with surprise, whether he had become the emperor. Then, without waiting for Li Qin to answer, they were in a hurry to express their opinions. They said regretfully that Li Qin was too hasty and too grand. Should he be a throne ceremony be held so that everyone could change to new official uniforms and kowtow to Li Qin. It would be more formal and grand. He asked Li Qin to be an official indirectly!

The generals were amused and crying, so Li Qin had to ask Dian Wei to explain specifically, telling the generals that the little emperor wanted to abdicate, but he did not agree to abdicate, so he had to give in at least three times. No one would agree immediately as soon as someone else gave in. That would be too unreserved!

But the generals still actively came up with various ideas, thinking who should be an official, which yamen is suitable for whom, etc. Anyway, before Li Qin became emperor, they took the initiative and consciously distributed all the positions of all major and large!

Li Qin ignored the excitement of the generals. He left behind a group of officials to deal with Yuancheng affairs. He immediately returned to Hulao Pass and wanted to discuss this matter with Jia Xu. After all, the abdication was too big, and the conspiracy inside was not small, so he had to discuss the countermeasures carefully.

In fact, Jia Xu already knew about the abdication. The eunuch who sent the order had to pass through Hulao Pass east from Luoyang. How could he have no reason to ignore it? Naturally, he knew about the abdication. Jia Xu was a conspirator. Whether he thought about people or things, he always thought about the dark side first, not good, and only thought about bad things. So as soon as he learned that the little emperor was going to abdicate, he knew that Zhang Rang and the ten regular attendants were doing something.

Jia Xu has been thinking about this matter these days, thinking about how to deal with it, and who will be involved in the conspiracy? In real history, when Dong Zhuo was killed by design, he also had doubts, but at that time, he was low in status, couldn't say anything, and could not understand the very specific insider, so even if he doubted it, he was a waste of doubt and could not come up with a charter. But now it is different. He is a key figure in the Fujiao Army and the brother-in-law of the great leader Li Qin. He has participated in all the important plans, and the insider was so clear that he could not understand it anymore, so of course he would think about how to deal with it!

Within a few days, Li Qin came back from the front line and Jia Xu came out of seclusion. After the two met, Li Qin's first question was not about abdication, but how was the aftermath at Hulao Pass?

Both of them rode on horseback, Jia Xu crossed the horse and entered the customs with Li Qin. He said, "It's just some trivial matters. As long as you do it step by step, anyone can do it!" He looked at Li Qin's face and whispered, "Do you see something wrong with the abdication?"

Li Qin snorted and said, "It's not just inappropriate, it's just a conspiracy. Zhang Rangtuqiong appears and wants to kill me, otherwise how could he come up with this solution? I've figured out for a few days on the road, and he will arrange for him to kill me!"

Jia Xu yelled and said, "You are thinking, and I have sent someone to Luoyang. After inquiring about the news, why don't you talk about it first? Do you think you can guess accurately?"

Li Qin smiled and said, "That's not OK. If I guess wrong, it will damage my glorious image. You should first say who was found out, and then I nodded and said that it was the same as I thought. This is the right way to flatter me. You should take the initiative to say it first!"

Jia Xu said, "You are about to become emperor. Flattering is not suitable for you. I have to learn how to beat the dragon's fart!" Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Zhang Rang was looking for Liu Bei and his two brothers, and the young gunman who defeated Zhao Zheng and others. His surname is Zhao and his name is Zhao Yun. It seems that their old Zhao family is very powerful in using guns, and they are first-class and smart."

Li Qin laughed and said, "The people you mentioned are just the ones I think of!"

As the two of them spoke, they entered Hulao Pass together. After dinner, a military meeting was held, and all the generals of Hulao Pass attended, and some civil servants who came from Luoyang were even new to him.

Li Qin sat in the middle and looked at the civil servants and generals on both sides. He said, "There are some things that everyone knows, that is, about the abdication of the little emperor. What the little emperor knows, it is impossible for him to have such ideas. The ones who have ideas should be Zhang Rang and others. Let's talk about what Zhang Rang and others think and what are their intentions? Everyone says, don't be afraid of saying it wrong. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong, but you must not say it. It's not okay to sit here and not express your opinions!"

The military generals were nothing. They followed Li Qin for a long time and had been used to meetings, but the new civil servants were different. They were both excited and uneasy. What was excited was that they could finally enter the decision-making level. What was uneasy was what to do if they said it wrong? Will it leave a bad impression on Li Qin? This is a matter of future!

The generals rushed to speak, some said that Zhang Rang had bad intentions, some said that maybe Zhang Rang wanted to flatter, and some said that this was God's will, and that God had sent Zhang Rang's dreams, so Zhang Rang did this. No matter what his opinion, it would be right for Li Qin to be the emperor. Let everyone be the founding heroes and give more rewards, that would be even more right!

However, the civil servants spoke few times. They were all looking at Jia Xu's expression. Jia Xu is now the leader of civil servants, and everyone followed his leader.

After the generals made a noise, Li Qin said to the civil servants: "Do you have any ideas? Everyone is talking about it, it's time to have a meeting, everyone is brainstorming!"

The civil servants were cautious and said their own ideas with humility. After all, civil servants were civil servants. They couldn't go to war, but when they made suggestions, they were all good at making plans. Almost all civil servants had the same idea, that is, they were just using tricks. Since the little emperor decided to abdicate, this opportunity could not be wasted. Anyway, he was voluntarily, and Li Qin did not force him. Even if some lonely ministers wanted to scold them, they could just scold Zhang Rang. Who was Zhang Rang's instigation?

But since everyone understands that this is a trap, if Li Qin had not said there was a conspiracy, many people would not have thought about the assassination. The ages they were in were different, and everyone had different ways of thinking. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have been killed. At that time, Dong Zhuo was not without counselors. But when Li Qin said there was a conspiracy, everyone would naturally think about the aspects of how to deal with it if there was a conspiracy.

The civil servants all said that while abdicating, they found out who participated, and on the premise that the news is kept confidential, they will eliminate the participants one by one. Of course, what they said is that within one day, it will not work if it exceeds one day. The other party will be prepared and will counterattack! No one is very familiar with the situation, so the idea is quite general, but that is probably what it means.

After hearing this, Li Qin nodded repeatedly, praising the civil servants for their good ideas. When he praised the civil servants like this, the military generals were a little embarrassed and felt a little disappointed.

Li Qin smiled and said, "The civil servants are planning their ideas. If they want to win a thousand miles away, they have to rely on all the generals. Without the soldiers' lives, no matter how good the ideas are, they will be in vain!"

As soon as these words were said, the generals looked better and they all slapped their chests, saying that they would definitely complete the plan.

Li Qin said: "Who has participated in the conspiracy, it is up to General Wu, and who has made him the scout leader! But how to eradicate it? Of course, I have to abdicate the platform, so I cannot command it myself. So whoever eliminates the enemy must work together, and the command will be left to Jia Juncheng!"

He used the official title, and Jia Xu and Wu Danzi hurriedly said, "I will do my best to share my worries for the lord!"

Li Qin said again: "Before the abdication ceremony begins, the enemies will definitely gather together and make final preparations. This is certain, and they will act separately to ensure that the action is foolproof. For them, if the action fails, it will be a catastrophe. Then, where is the gathering place and how to annihilate them, we have to plan well. They are afraid of the wind and the news leaking, and we are also afraid!"

Of course, those who can sit here cannot betray them. The Fujiao Army is better than all the troops of the same era in terms of confidentiality.

After setting the general policy, Li Qin and they discussed the details together, and talked about all aspects and all possible accidents, and then the meeting ended!

In a few days, the second edict of abdication from the young emperor arrived again, asking for three to three, this is the rule. Li Qin refused again in accordance with the etiquette and law. At this time, the scouts who returned to Luoyang had already passed the news back, and the people participating in the assassination had already investigated. Most of them were nameless juniors, and few of them were truly worthy of it. This was also related to the current emptiness of Luoyang.

What made Li Qin most pleased was that there was no name for the newly appointed official on the list, which shows that his examination system has played a role. The officials he selected were naturally loyal to him. Of course, it was also possible that Zhang Rang was afraid that the news would leak and did not allow the new officials to participate. These are two possibilities, but they are beneficial to Li Qin.

A few days later, the third edict arrived, and Li Qin still refused, as if he had done enough superficial effort to refuse three times. Of course, if there was a fourth time, he would not refuse again!

Before the fourth edict was sent, the scouts finally checked the list of officials involved in the assassination and also found out where these people gathered.

What made Li Qin feel both angry and funny was that Zhang Rang and the ten eunuchs were really inferior to Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Logically speaking, the place where they gathered should be as close as possible to the abdicated platform, so as to deal with various accidents. However, these eunuchs were afraid of failure and were afraid that Li Qin would kill them in anger, so they placed the place where they gathered outside the city. The abdicated platform was built in the east of the city, and the place where they gathered was the west of the city, and next to the official road to Bingzhou!

Unexpectedly, you should be afraid of defeat first. This cannot be said to be wrong, but the escape route is calculated first, which is a bit too much. If you have a retreat, you can save your life by running away. How many people are willing to work hard?
