Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi, three veterans who had always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, saw Liu Feng full of sadness about Liu Xie's death, and they were very conflicted in their hearts.

They were loyal to the Han Dynasty all their lives and dedicated their entire lives to the Han Dynasty, but in the end they still couldn't save the last single seedling of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, regarding Liu Xie's death, the three of them felt extremely sad, as if their faith in pursuing their life had suddenly collapsed.

However, when they saw Liu Feng's tall figure when he picked up Liu Xie, they felt extremely relieved.

No matter how much Liu Feng said that he did not recognize Liu Xie's throne, at least it could be seen from his grief over Liu Xie's death that he still had feelings for the big man in his heart.

Moreover, as the late emperor personally conferred the title of"One Side by Side King", if Liu Feng were to succeed the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he would surely be able to lead the Han Dynasty to achieve even more glorious development.

However, whether Liu Feng is willing to become the new generation of Emperor of the Han Dynasty needs to be decided later. Now there are more important things in front of Liu Feng that need to be dealt with.

That is how to divide the remaining 30,000 Xiliang army prisoners.

Regarding the handling of the Xiliang Army, two different voices emerged.

Some princes represented by Kong Rong who were loyal to the Han Dynasty and hated Dong Zhuo proposed to kill all 30,000 Xiliang troops to improve military discipline.

In this regard, Kong Rong suggested to Liu Feng:"Dong Zhuo controlled the government, fornicated the harem, and was cruel and unkind. He had the power of life and death for the Han officials. The reason why he was so rampant was because the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under him gave him He has his greatest support, and holding military power is his greatest confidence.

Therefore, these soldiers are all people who help the emperor do evil. Moreover,

Dong Zhuo brutalized the ministers of the DPRK, and these soldiers must have caused harm to the people.

The Xiliang army is famous all over the world for its brutality. , every time they conquered a city, Dong Zhuo would indulge his soldiers to rob the people in the city. Who among these 30,000 soldiers dares to say that he has never bullied a common person?

Since they are all guilty, why do we keep them?"

However, although Kong Rong's words won the support of some princes, the opposition was still very high.

After all, the Xiliang Army followed Dong Zhuo in the south and north, pacified the Yellow Turban Army, and suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou. It was all the credit of the Xiliang Army.

As an elite soldier who has fought many battles, the Xiliang Army's combat effectiveness is very strong, and can even be said to be a world-famous elite soldier.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the Xiliang Army is just a piece of fat. Many people are staring at this piece of fat and want to eat it.

For example, Liu Bei had very few troops under his command. He only recruited a few troops when he was the county magistrate. However, after Zhang Fei furiously whipped the postal supervisor and was forced to resign, he only had 500 troops left.

In this continuous battle against Dong Zhuo, most of the five hundred troops and horses had been consumed long ago, and now only less than two hundred were left.

Therefore, Liu Bei has been keeping an eye on these 30,000 Xiliang troops, wanting a piece of the pie.

So, just after Kong Rong finished saying that he wanted to kill these Xiliang soldiers, Liu Bei objected:"Kong Beihai, please be patient.

Although Dong Zhuo deserves death, these Xiliang soldiers are just in his hands." It's just a knife.

Everything they did was under orders. They would do whatever Dong Zhuo or Li Ru asked them to do. Although those evil things were done by them, it was not their original intention...

Besides, they Before joining the Xiliang Army, they must have all come from poor people. Especially since Xiliang is located in a remote area and has been invaded by foreign tribes for a long time, they are also pitiful people.

Moreover, the Xiliang Army is also Han Chinese. Since they have surrendered, we have How can you kill your own compatriots?

So, since the captives have harmed Tianhe, I think since they can't help themselves, why can't we give them a chance to change their ways?" After

Liu Bei finished speaking, Kong Rong asked Said:"Then according to Xuande's words, how to reform?"

Liu Bei said:"Accept the recruitment of various princes, join the subordinates of various princes, and then serve each prince, and eliminate all the most evil people."

Liu Bei finished. , several princes immediately responded.

So everyone looked at Liu Feng, hoping that King Jingjing would make a decision.

Liu Feng saw that everyone believed in him, so he said:"I think Xuande's words are very reasonable.

Since the Xiliang army is also Han, and they have laid down their weapons and surrendered, if we still swing the butcher knife at them, then we and those foreigners will What's the difference?"

Everyone was very excited when they saw that Liu Feng agreed with Liu Bei's opinion, but how to divide it, the princes were not sure about paying attention for a while.

Seeing this, Cao Cao suggested:"Since we are dividing the prisoners, we should naturally divide them according to the credit and contribution of each prince.

As the commander of the allied forces, King Bingjian was also the one who defeated Lu Bu and killed Dong Zhuo. Naturally, more prisoners should be allocated. Cao Cao suggested that the 10,000 troops and horses should be allocated directly to the King of Pingjian.

In this pursuit, Operation acted as the vanguard and took the lead in holding back Dong Zhuo's army. Cao Cao took one-third of the remaining 20,000 troops. First, do you all have any opinions?"

The various princes knew that Liu Feng, Cao Cao and Liu Bei had the greatest contribution to the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, so they had no doubts about Cao Cao's method of dividing the troops.

In the end, Liu Feng was assigned 10,000 troops, Cao Cao received 6,600 troops, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were assigned 2,000 Xiliang troops because they had successfully blocked Lu Bu twice.

As for the other princes, the prisoners they were assigned were different.

After dividing the prisoners, the princes, together with Liu Feng, escorted the body of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty back to Luoyang, and found a geomantic treasure to bury him.

After burying Emperor Xian, all the princes said goodbye to each other and led their troops back to their fiefdoms.

As for Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, as the most senior and experienced veterans since Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they had already spent their remaining years in Luoyang.

However, following the people in Luoyang, they had nowhere to go at this time.

So Liu Feng invited the three of them to settle in Longcheng.

Lu Zhi was naturally very happy about Liu Feng's arrangement. After all, his old friend Cai Yong was in Longcheng, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun also regarded Liu Feng as the only heir to the Han Dynasty, so they agreed.

The next day after arriving at Longcheng, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun gathered with Cai Yong, found Liu Feng, and jointly said:"The country cannot live without a king for a day. The lower officials and others requested to join the king to ascend the throne and become the new successor of the Han Dynasty." Emperor."

Liu Feng was also surprised by the four people's joint request.

However, Liu Feng did not agree, but said that he would consider it.

Later, Liu Feng came to Guo Jia for discussion, but Guo Jia did not give any suggestions. He just asked:"Master, do you want to be the successor or the founder?"
