Chapter 475
At once, ordinary people in the Luoyang team responded.
Even the servants of the princes and ministers ignored everything else and raised their arms.
Going to Tanghai finally gave them a chance to survive.
Following the princes and ministers who were setting in the west to Chang'an was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
No one wanted to experience Dong Zhuo's brutal rule again.
What if the ministers they followed said something wrong and Dong Zhuo ordered people to search their houses.
They, the servants, would also be beheaded.
The servants didn't want to die with the ministers.
They just wanted to survive and live an ordinary life.
If what the Tanghai general in front of them said was true, Tanghai would give them food and land, which would be a perfect life!
Bet!
If you win, you will have food and housing.
If you lose... can it be any worse than now?
People in the wilderness responded.
The Five Tigers asked the soldiers of Tanghai to select personnel.
As long as the selected young and strong men can bring their families.
No matter men, women, old or young, all can be brought, and some rations will be distributed later.
The news spread like wings.
The people of Luoyang were crazy about it.
Even the elderly, weak and disabled family members could be brought, which made the people instantly support the army in front of them.
The princes and ministers wanted to resist, but they had no way.
Facing the Tanghai soldiers who were more elite than the Xiliang soldiers.
They knew that even if they had a big complaint, they had to swallow it back.
The Xiliang soldiers would at most give you two knives.
But the Tanghai soldiers would really cut people in half with one knife.
The princes and ministers knew how powerful Tanghai's military equipment was.
The Five Tigers selected 30,000 young and strong men, brought their families, and plundered the mighty troops in Luoyang.
Then they returned to Luoyang in a mighty manner.
The princes and ministers just breathed a sigh of relief and thought about where to go for refuge.
But they were awakened again by the sound of horse hooves on the ground.
The soldiers of Xiliang went and returned!!
The leader was still Lu Bu.
This made the princes and ministers almost vomit blood on the spot.
Lu Bu sent the soldiers of Xiliang to regain control of the team without saying a word.
The first step is to identify.
The few remaining ordinary people were all kicked out of the team and went wherever they wanted.
The former wealthy and wealthy people and princes and ministers were regrouped into a new team.
They were escorted to Chang'an by the soldiers of Xiliang.
They escaped from the wolf's mouth, entered the more powerful tiger's mouth, and then returned to the wolf's mouth.
The successive blows made the princes and ministers seem to have aged ten years.
The hope of life was far away from them.
The eyes of the princes and ministers became dull.
There were no slaves in the team, only family members were left.
The princes and ministers didn't care so much, and directly commanded their young family members and collateral branches to fight.
Those who pull carts pull carts, those who work work.
Without slaves, the side branches are slaves!
The side branches are speechless, and their resentment is overwhelming.
Lu Bu looked at the Tang Hai team going away, and said goodbye secretly in his heart.
He had secretly contacted Ma Chao and others who came.
Finally, everything was going to go in a more magnificent direction.
Lu Bu couldn't wait to arrive in Chang'an and start a new plan.
...
Luoyang Palace Hall.
Yuan Shao sat on the dragon chair, and his slightly narrowed eyes contained comfort.
The feeling of the dragon chair made him feel ecstatic.
"Report!"
A soldier ran in and knelt on one knee to report: "My lord!"
"Tang Hai defeated the thief Dong's army, plundered a lot of wealth and people, and is now heading back to the outside of Luoyang City."
Yuan Shao sat up straight, frowning.
"A lot of... wealth..."
He could imagine with a smack of his lips that although they were in a hurry before, those officials in Luoyang must have taken away all kinds of rare treasures.
That was a huge wealth that even a child of aristocratic family like him could not face.
With a turn of his eyes, Yuan Shao came up with a plan.
"Immediately invite other princes to discuss!"
In the hall, the princes came after hearing the news.
The news that Tang Hai had obtained a huge amount of wealth spread like wildfire.
It made all the princes restless.
In the face of huge interests, the princes had even forgotten how powerful Tang Hai was.
They were thinking about how to get a share of it.
Yuan Shao was still sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, without any expression of inappropriateness.
He spoke slowly under the gaze of all the princes:
"Luoyang has suffered a sudden disaster, and a lot of money is needed to restore the original Luoyang."
"All the princes should have corresponding responsibilities in this matter."
"Only by restoring the prosperity of Luoyang can we create a better new court."
"Maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty."
Yuan Shao's words did not cause any ripples in the hearts of the princes who were experienced in the officialdom.
Instead, they were all waiting for Yuan Shao's next words.
They knew that Yuan Shao hadHowever, the proposal must have something to do with the wealth Tang Hai had just obtained.
Yuan Shao continued: "This leader will set an example and pay one hundred million yuan!"
He raised his right hand and pointed out his index finger.
Finding that no one among the princes responded, Yuan Shao continued.
"Please remember, this money is required to be paid by any prince."
"No matter who it is."
He emphasized the last four words, which made the princes understand instantly.
As a prince, Tang Hai naturally had to spend money.
Although he could not rob Tang Hai openly, if the other party did not contribute to the restoration of Luoyang.
More than a dozen princes brought soldiers and buried them to death.
The military ones are not good, and the civil ones are not good?
A gentleman talks, not fights!
Convince Tang Hai with reason.
Let them be ashamed.
Let the world see what Tang Hai looks like!
Liu Yu will lose money for fame.
If he protects his wealth, he will lose his reputation.
How can one word "brilliant" be said about Yuan Shao's move!
The princes admired it in their hearts, but still no one took the lead to express how much they would invest.
Yuan Shao frowned, and a wave of disgust rose in his heart.
He had to continue: "Don't worry, everyone."
"These moneys are not privately owned by Yuan."
"All will be used for the construction of Luoyang."
"All money needs to be supervised by various princes before it can be approved for use."
"Moreover, there is a shortage of manpower in Luoyang, and various tasks still need to rely on various princes."
"No matter what construction work it is, the government will provide corresponding salaries."
"What do you think?"
Xuzhou Tao Qian took the lead and said, "I think it's very good!"
"In this way, Luoyang can be quickly restored and the court can be established."
"The soldiers we brought will also have something to do."
"Luoyang will be more stable."
"And they can get salaries."
"It's a win-win situation."
"On behalf of Xuzhou, I will pay 100 million!"
The old but loud voice sounded in the hall.
After hearing this, the other princes also stood up to express their opinions.
Completely different from the previous silent attitude.
Yuan Shao muttered in his heart, damn these guys, they only know profit first.
However, how and where to spend the money is still up to him?
Forget about other things, just get the money from Tang Hai first.
Yuan Shao really wanted to go outside the city to see how much wealth Tang Hai had looted.
That must be an astonishing number.
Most of the wealth in Luoyang City!
Yuan Shao was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet.
He was only concerned with taking over Luoyang City before, why didn't he think of sending troops out to chase the team that fled Luoyang?
What a mistake!
