Chapter 494
Outside Chang'an, Cao Cao galloped on horseback.
With a few men, he went to Chang'an under Liu Yu's order.
Responsible for all matters in the western region in the future.
The title of General Zhengxi echoed in Cao Cao's heart.
When Cao Cao just received Liu Yu's order, he was so excited that he could not control himself.
It would take a long time to complete the dream, and he didn't know when it would come to him suddenly.
Cao Cao was extremely grateful for Liu Yu's arrangement.
He secretly vowed to make earth-shaking achievements in Chang'an to make his lord happy.
Before they parted outside Luoyang, he learned about Qingzhou and Xuzhou.
Jia Xu and Taishi Ci achieved extraordinary victories there.
Completely incorporate the two regions into the rule of Tanghai government.
He also wants to achieve such results in Chang'an.
Even the entire Liangzhou is his goal.
At the gate of Chang'an, Ma Chao and Pang De were waiting with several cavalrymen.
Looking from a distance, a trail of dust was seen on the wilderness.
A dozen riders galloped over.
Ma Chao immediately ordered his soldiers to follow and greet them.
"Meng De, welcome to Chang'an City."
Ma Chao took the initiative to speak.
"Meng Qi, the lord ordered me to help you."
Cao Cao, who had stopped his horse, bowed and saluted, and replied happily.
He took out a document from his bosom and handed it over.
"Wait until we get back to read it." Ma Chao took it and stuffed it carefully into his bosom.
"Let's go into the city first."
"I have ordered people to arrange a banquet to welcome Meng De."
Cao Cao was even happier, "Then thank Meng Qi!"
"Let's go!"
"I can't wait to see the forces in Chang'an."
Under the leadership of Ma Chao, Cao Cao entered Chang'an City.
The people of Chang'an were already accustomed to the Xiliang cavalry entering and leaving the city.
Although the people at the gate of the city were amazed at the mighty cavalry in front of them, they all hid far away.
The reputation of the soldiers of Xiliang was not very good.
However, under Lu Bu's order, they were still restrained.
No great damage was caused to Chang'an.
Ordinary people in Chang'an could still make a living.
But the wealthy families in Chang'an were not so good.
Many families were ordered to provide military supplies and food.
If they did not, or the amount they provided was not enough, they would be sanctioned.
There were already many who wanted to rely on their own power to resist the orders of the court.
As a result, they were confiscated and exterminated by the court.
No matter what kind of backers those families had in the court, they could not stop Lu Bu's purge.
Lu Bu was known to everyone in the whole city of Chang'an.
On the contrary, few ordinary people knew the name of Dong Zhuo.
After a secret meeting with Commander Tang Hai and the soldiers, Cao Cao took over the supreme command of Chang'an according to Liu Yu's official document.
Lu Bu readily agreed.
In the secret letter Liu Yu sent to everyone, he learned that although Cao Cao in front of him looked completely different from Tang Hai's mighty and tall leader image.
But he was extremely wise.
He could provide them with the most powerful guidance in tactics and strategy.
This made Lu Bu feel at ease.
After all, Ma Chao, Pang De and others who came last time were also military generals.
They were good at fighting.
But they were really not good at dealing with those conspiracies and tricks.
The remaining princes and ministers in Chang'an City, as well as the local forces, were stubborn.
They would always do something secretly.
Now that they were so far away from Tang Hai, without sufficient strategies and overall support, Lu Bu was really afraid that the forces he was about to get would not be able to hold on.
But now that Cao Cao had arrived, everything was different.
There were both military and civil forces.
Who else in Chang'an City could stop Tang Hai's offensive?
No one could do it!
Lu Bu, who was rubbing his hands, couldn't wait to do something earth-shattering.
He looked at Cao Cao, who was sitting at the top, expectantly.
Lu Bu was not unhappy at all.
Ma Chao also looked over expectantly, waiting for Cao Cao to arrange the future strategy.
Cao Cao glanced around and saw the expressions of several Tanghai leaders in the hall.
He sighed in his heart.
If this happened in the previous court, I don't know how much more fighting there would be in secret.
In the face of power, everyone in the court can't stop chasing it.
But Tanghai is completely different.
All the ideas of these leaders are implemented in accordance with the most favorable conditions for Tanghai.
There is no resistance to a leader like him who is like an airborne commander.
He even hopes to do something big under his leadership.
This made Cao Cao once again deeply feel how united and excellent the leaders trained under the Tanghai system are.
Confidence is high again.
He felt that if he didn't do something very special in Chang'an,Changhao, all sorry for all kinds of situations.
After some inquiries, Cao Cao took control of the general situation of Chang'an now.
Dong Zhuo's body has become a burden.
The fat man who usually has difficulty walking needs two maids to support him.
He can barely go to court with a lot of people.
Many things are now taken care of by Lu Bu.
And the seeds planted in the previous battle of Luoyang Pass have also taken root and sprouted.
Most of the generals of the Xiliang Army were consumed by fighting generals.
The army promoted new generals and the grassroots officers were also replaced.
Now everyone in the Xiliang Army is looking forward to Lu Bu.
They all regard Lu Bu as the supreme commander.
After all, Lu Bu is really good to the soldiers.
With real money and sufficient rations, the soldiers of Xiliang live very well.
Another force is the Bingzhou Army.
The soldiers don't care whether Lu Bu betrays the so-called Bingzhou governor.
They only know that whoever gives food and salary is a good general.
There is nothing more convincing than money and food in this world.
Lu Bu, who inherited the tradition of Tang Haiyi, did particularly well in this regard.
Let the soldiers of Bingzhou also support Lu Bu.
The entire military equipment of Chang'an basically fell into Lu Bu's hands.
Cao Cao stroked the goatee on his chin and lowered his head to think.
Under the gaze of everyone, he spoke.
"The most important thing for us now is to completely change the face of Chang'an City."
"First of all, Dong Zhuo will never give up power."
"Although he is now corrupt and degenerate."
"But once he wakes up a little, he will find the huge threat brought by Lu Bu."
"After all, he relied on force to get to the top."
"He will definitely strive to regain the position of force."
"So, the first step is to put Dong Zhuo under house arrest."
"Clean up the few remaining confidants of Dong Zhuo and fully control the entire Chang'an."
Lu Bu's eyes were fierce, and he raised his hand to his neck. "It's easy to kill him directly."
"No." Cao Cao shook his head, "It's not the right time yet."
"We still need to use Dong Zhuo's hand to do some dirty things."
"All these things have to be pushed onto Dong Zhuo."
"To pave the way for the lord to sweep the Western Regions in the future."
"In addition, when I came here, the lord told us to perform a play in Chang'an."
"A play for the princes of the world."
"It also needs to borrow Dong Zhuo's name."
"We can't expose the secret forces of our Tanghai."
