Chapter 428

Of course, Yuan Shao actually probably won't occupy Sili and Luoyang for the time being, even if Luoyang is not burned.

After all, his current base and goal is Jizhou.

Only after taking Jizhou and even Youzhou and Bingzhou can Yuan Shao consider Sili.

But Yuan Shu is different.

If he really gets the complete Sili and Luoyang, this guy's strength will not only soar, but it will also make him change the focus of his future hegemony and choose to expand his power with Sili Luoyang as the center.

This is not what Su Xuan wants to see.

Sili Luoyang has long been regarded by him as something in his pocket, and he will never allow Yuan Shu to nest here.

Therefore, it is better to let Dong Zhuo burn Luoyang with a fire, forcibly move the population away, and leave only a blank slate.

Let it temporarily lose the value of being occupied.

When the time is right in the future, Su Xuan will send troops to occupy it.

Of course, Su Xuan didn't intend to really give up the population moved away by Dong Zhuo, but was prepared to intercept a batch on the way and move them to his own territory.

With Dong Zhuo forcibly moving them and pulling away the hatred, he then saves them and settles them in Jingzhou.

Not only will these Sili people not hate him, but they will also be grateful for his kindness.

How good! How good?

He takes the benefits, and the disadvantages and the pot are all thrown to Dong Zhuo, simply perfect.

However, Su Xuan didn't say this directly, so Jia Twelve didn't know very well.

Fortunately, he knew his positioning as a Dark Guard very well and didn't ask much, just executed it directly.

It was Guo Jia beside him who heard this, touched his chin, looked at Su Xuan in surprise, and pondered the meaning of Su Xuan's words.

After a while, Guo Jia's eyes lit up slightly, and he said: "So that's how it is? The Lord is truly wise! This move of harming others to benefit oneself is very good!"

"Hmm?"

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei were confused: "Military Advisor, what are you talking about? Why don't we understand?"

"Yes!"

At the same time, Zhao Yun looked at Su Xuan in confusion: "Lord, shouldn't we take Yique Pass early, march into Luoyang, save the Son of Heaven, and get the greatest credit for this crusade against the traitor?"

"Why wait until Dong Zhuo completes the move of the capital before breaking the pass?"

"And why do you want to let Dong Zhuo burn Luoyang? That is a famous city through the ages, the capital of the Great Han!"

"In addition, how do you know that Dong Zhuo will definitely choose to burn Luoyang?"

Zhao Yun couldn't understand.

Although he had long been transformed by Su Xuan and had no loyalty or thoughts about the Great Han, he, who was kind-hearted, still hoped to save a few more people and at the same time preserve Luoyang.

Even if the Lord occupies it, it's fine!

Su Xuan shook his head and smiled: "Don't be impatient!"

Then he looked at Guo Jia: "What does Fengxiao think?"

Guo Jia smiled and analyzed: "The reason is actually what the Lord said before, only in this way can the interests be maximized!"

"Breaking Yique Pass too early forces Dong Zhuo to retreat early and fails to complete the task of moving the capital; then Dong Zhuo cannot take away or destroy all the population and cities of Sili Luoyang;"

"Then Sili and Luoyang will have great value to the warlords, and they can be occupied!"

"At that time, the warlords will inevitably cause a big mess for the sake of dividing the spoils and occupying Sili Luoyang!"

"This does not meet our interests!"

"We are not suitable and cannot occupy Sili Luoyang for the time being;"

"And letting other warlords occupy it is even more inconsistent with our interests and layout;"

"Therefore, sitting and watching Dong Zhuo move the population of Sili Luoyang and burn Luoyang is the best choice."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia saw that Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and others were all enlightened, and he continued: "As for why the Lord is sure that Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang?"

"Naturally, it is because the Lord knows Dong Zhuo's character!"

"For someone who can do things like abolishing the emperor, robbing the Imperial Tombs, poisoning the Imperial Prince, and forcibly moving the capital, with his hatred for the warlords, how could he leave a complete Luoyangcheng to the warlords?"
