The imperial court now captured most of Sili Prefecture, where Hanoi County was located, as well as Yanzhou.

However, Chang'an City is far in the northwest, which is not conducive to ruling.

The matter of moving the capital is also reasonable.

Even if Hua Xiong wanted to refuse at that time, there would be no excuse.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, but he felt that he underestimated ministers like Yang Zan.

This can be regarded as a conspiracy!

"Then have you figured it out, where are you going to move the capital?"

Cao Cao asked.

Yang Zan and the others looked at each other with a smile, and said in unison,

"Xu County!"

Xu County is located in Yingchuan County.

Yingchuan County is quite awesome, the center of scholars in the world.

The most important thing is that the Yingchuan Xun family behind Xun Yu is the leading family of the local gentry.

Once they go to Xu County, it means that the power of Xun Yu and the others can rise!

At this moment, Xun Yu said with a smile,

"Since we want to overthrow Hua Xiong, there must be someone who takes the lead. Wang Yun is old and fatuous, and his will is not firm. He has already taken refuge in Cao Cao."

"So after discussion, we plan to recommend you, Meng De, as the leader."

"As long as the capital is moved to Xu County, Hua Xiong's power will definitely be curbed."

Everyone looked at Cao Cao eagerly.

Cao Cao's heart was pounding with excitement, and he nodded heavily.

"Since this is the case, then Mr. Cao will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The court meeting the next day.

Everyone discusses matters big and small first.

Seeing that the sun was rising three poles, it was already noon.

Liu Xie yawned,

"Ministers, is there anything else? If not, let's leave the court."

Xun Yu winked at Yang Zan.

Yang Zan stood up and said in a deep voice,

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Oh, so it's Master Yang, what do you want to report?"

Yang Zan cupped his hands,

"Back then, Dong Zhuo went against the grain and forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an. But now that Dong thief is dead, and Chang'an City is far away from the Central Plains, it is not conducive to the rule of the court."

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to consider moving the capital!"

As soon as he said these words, the ministers at the meeting immediately talked a lot.

"Master Yang is right, we have to consider moving the capital."

"Now that Sili Prefecture and Yanzhou have surrendered, Chang'an City is indeed not conducive to the imperial court's jurisdiction."

All the ministers are still inclined to move the capital.

Liu Xie was taken aback for a moment, pondered for a while, and said softly,

"This is a very important matter, we still need to discuss it."

"Now that the national treasury is full, it is a good time to move the capital."

"Yes, for the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty, we must move the capital."

Xun Yu, Huang Wan, and Shi Sun Rui all stood up.

This made Liu Xie a little overwhelmed, not knowing what to do, so he had to look at Hua Xiong for help.

Cao Cao chuckled, looked at Hua Xiong and said,

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Yang Zan and the others looked at Hua Xiong with malicious eyes.

As long as Hua Xiong dared to say no, they planned to attack Hua Xiong together and count Hua Xiong down.

Guo Jia, Li Ru and the others couldn't help but sweat for Hua Xiong.

Although they really wanted to stand up for Hua Xiong.

But the matter of moving the capital is reasonable.

They really couldn't find a reason to refute.

All eyes fell on Hua Xiong, waiting for him to speak.

Hua Xiong didn't feel uneasy at all, he smiled authentically,

"Actually, I was also thinking about moving the capital a few days ago. I didn't expect you to think of it with me."

As soon as these words came out, Li Ru, Guo Jia and the others were dumbfounded.

My lord, what's the matter with you?

You don't think about it, how to avoid the relocation of the capital from happening, and actually help them speak?

Aren't you afraid that Cao Cao and Xun Yu will become more powerful?

Opposite Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Yang Zan and others were overjoyed.

They were afraid that Hua Xiong would find all kinds of excuses to oppose the move of the capital.

Therefore, several sets of plans were prepared and several simulations were carried out.

But what I never expected was that Hua Xiong agreed so easily.

They were just insanely happy.

Wang Yun on the side frowned slightly, and he couldn't understand what Hua Xiong was thinking.

And Cai Yong winked at Hua Xiong, hoping that he would think about it carefully.

Hua Xiong acted as if he hadn't seen it.

He said with a smile,

"I don't know where you plan to move your capital to?"

"After discussion, we decided that it would be best to move the capital to Xu County."

Xun Yu smiled.

"Xu County is located in the Central Plains, not far from Luoyang, which can be regarded as proof of the legitimacy of the imperial court."

"Yes, Xu County is the best."

Yang Zan and others spoke up one after another to agree.

The meaning is very clear, there is no better place to be the capital than Xu County.

Jia Xu, Guo Jia and the others were a little anxious.

Xu County is the base of Xun Yu and the others. If they moved there, Cao Cao's power would definitely rise.

At that time, it will be a heartache.

But they were in a hurry, but they couldn't think of any reason to refute.

Before Xun Yu and others proposed to move the capital, they had made sufficient preparations.

So Jia Xu and the others could only stare blankly.

Just when Cao Cao, Xun Yu and the others thought they had the chance to win, Hua Xiong laughed.

"I don't think Xu County is very good."

Xun Yu was startled, then sneered and said,

"Why not?"

"Because I think there is a better place to be the capital than Xu County!"

Hua Xiong's words stunned the people present again.

"Impossible! How could there be a better place than Xu County?"

Yang Zan came back to his senses, shook his head and flatly refused.

Chapter 1 Cement

Almost everyone present did not believe Hua Xiong's words.

After all, the place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court is only that big.

How could there be a more suitable place to be the capital than Xu County?

"Xu County is located in the Central Plains, which is convenient for the imperial court to rule."

"The land and water transportation is well developed, and there are large fertile lands for recuperation."

Xun Yu and the others spoke out all the advantages of Xu County as the capital.

But Hua Xiong burst out laughing.

"The advantages you mentioned, there is one place that has them all!"

"I don't believe it, where did you say it was?"

Xun Yu said suspiciously.

"The place I'm talking about is Luoyang, the capital city!"

Hua Xiong said every word clearly.

When his words came out, the court hall was silent first, followed by Xun Yu and others roaring with laughter.

"You actually said Luoyang?"

"It's ridiculous."

"Luoyang City is now in ruins."

Guo Jia, Li Ru and the others also looked confused.

They thought that Hua Xiong could mention some good places, but they didn't expect to mention Luoyang.

After Luoyang was captured by the princes of the Eighteenth Route, it was already in ruins.

How could it be suitable to be used as a capital city?

The lord is not awake, is he?

Cao Cao finally stopped laughing and asked,

"Teacher, are you kidding us?"

Hua Xiong glanced at him and said calmly,

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

"Luoyang is the capital of my dynasty. If the capital is re-established there, there is no need to talk about legitimacy."

"As for the transportation and land you mentioned, isn't Luoyang comparable to Xu County?"

Xun Yu smiled.

"Master Grand Master, of course we know that there is no better place to be a capital city than Luoyang. But the question is, can Luoyang still be a capital city?"

"Why not?"
