Chapter 279: Planned Assassination

has made up his mind, Xun You actually has no intention of discussing things with these scholars. But you can't retreat, you can only pretend to be thinking hard, and listen to these people continue to talk.

Everyone didn't know what Xun You was thinking at this time, but they listened to Xun You's evaluation of Ma Chao. The topic of discussion gradually moved closer to Ma Chao.

"Regardless of this character, I will say that Ma Chao is talented, but it is also eye-catching. A song "Serving the Country" seems to have fulfilled his life's wish. After talking about it for a long time, everyone still didn't dare to rashly conclude whether Ma Chao was loyal or traitorous, so Shi Sun Rui talked about Ma Chao from the perspective of talent.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was only after Cao Cao opened the "Jian'an Literature" that quatrains began to flourish. But at this time, it is not recognized, not to mention that Ma Chao is still a seven-word quatrain. At this time, scripture is popular, Ma Chao, as a martial artist, can write a good hand and make poems, which is very remarkable in the world, but in front of these scholars who have read scriptures, it is only considered a passing level, so Shi Sun Rui did not raise Ma Chao's talent very high.

At this time, the scholars admired the quickness of talent like Kong Rong, the outstanding Qingliu like Li Ying, the obscene words like Cai Yong, and the erudition and talent like Lu Zhi; And none of these Ma Chao, in the eyes of these people, Ma Chao is still a vulgar martial artist, the only thing that is stronger than Dong Zhuo is that he may have some talent.

Of course, his alertness and boldness are also appreciated by a small number of scholars, such as Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Fa Zheng, Li Ru, these poor scholars, and now Xun You, who lost confidence in the Eastern Han Dynasty regime and thought that the world would be in chaos.

"It's better to wait until the old man has personally contacted Na Ma Chao before making a conclusion. After all, there is some truth in what Gongda said. This matter needs to be cautious and deliberate. After talking about it, it seemed that it deviated from today's topic, and Wang Yun made a conclusion on this matter. Start changing the subject. Speaking of plotting against Dong Zhuo: "Dong thieves are now becoming more and more frustrated, and they have cooked hundreds of virtuous people to death, and they are happy to entertain them. If you don't kill this thief, heaven and man will not tolerate it! ”

Situ said. Is it to ...... Assassination? Shi Sun Rui is considered to be the more flexible brain among these scholars, and from Wang Yun's tone, he heard a hint of taste.

And everyone inhaled a cool breath, and seemed to be a little unwilling but helpless about this decision. Even Xun You's expression really became solemn.

Generally speaking, the general realm of political struggle. It's all induced but not triggered. Even if you have the hole cards in your hand, I will also pinch your weakness. When everyone is idle, they move each other in a painless place, and let the emperor who is high in the middle be an arbiter. In this way, the three conveniences can be safe.

But Dong Zhuo doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, or rather, he is not the smart person that these scholars think he thinks. In the eyes of these scholars, Dong Zhuo should leave some room for maneuver in doing things. In dealing with the problem of the Kanto group and the imperial power, we should not do things absolutely! In this way, they will not let the Chang'an Shi people who are caught in the middle of them lose both sides when everyone is stiff in the end.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't do this. Or rather. Li Ru did not follow the fixed path of such political struggle. In the eyes of these scholars, Li Ru is a little smart, but he is also a little stupid. Smarter than a really stupid person, but a little more stupid than a really smart person. It's just a second-rate IQ, but he makes serious mistakes on key issues!

He simply does not understand that politics is a game of mutual compromise! He saw through the painstaking scheme of his own people, and even made Dong Zhuoqian desperate, this approach did not leave any room for these scholars in Chang'an, and forced both Chang'an scholars and Dong Zhuo to a dead end!

Now, Dong Zhuofa brutally retaliated against the scholars, but these scholars did not have Dong Zhuo's weakness at all, forcing them to choose assassination!

Although assassination is the most despised method since ancient times, it is also the most inferior of all the means of political struggle. In the past, these scholars, who had always understood the righteousness and were deeply influenced by Confucianism, would scoff at this method, but now, they had to adopt it, because, in his opinion, this was a war provoked by Dong Zhuo! What's more, they had plotted to assassinate Dong Yi before, and now they have no face to take care of if they assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Naturally, this is actually the sorrow of these scholars. Because these scholars no longer have any resistance at all, they have to make this most helpless choice!

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally nodded their heads. Even Xun You sighed: If Ma Chao can be brought in as foreign aid in a short period of time, the scholars and Dong Zhuo will indeed have the strength to compete. But the problem is that Ma Chao is not a fool, and these scholars still look down on Ma Chao...... When the plan was to let the Ma family fight with the Dong family, they were happy, and when they really relied on people, it was so difficult.

Therefore, these high-eyed and low-handed temperaments made them choose to kill Dong Zhuo directly, causing Dong Zhuo's group to be leaderless, and finally dividing and dissolving Dong Zhuo's subordinate forces. Perhaps, this may also realize the dream of the scholars.

Of course, this road is very dangerous, if you are not careful when you subdue Dong Zhuo's forces in the middle, it will cause a mutiny. Then Chang'an will fall into a sea of fire, and there will be no return.

"Lord Situ, this plan also has a plan in mind. But even if we succeed in assassinating Dong Zhuo, then in addition to the 3,000 soldiers under Captain Huang and the 1,000 cavalry under Captain Huqiang, coupled with the generals, we can gather up to six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, with such strength, how can we stabilize the situation in Chang'an? ”

"The old man has already planned this matter, don't you know, in addition to Ma Chao, the general of Zhenxi, there is another person who is also dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo?" Wang Yun smiled, and at this time he laughed like an old fox who had been stealing chickens.

"There were no generals in the Han Dynasty, and Lu Shangshu died of illness the month before last; Huangfu Song received Dong Zhuo's false edict and had surrendered his military power to Dong Thief; And Lord Zhu Jun is still in Zhongmu to raise troops to resist, but the situation doesn't seem to be good...... "Shisun Rui exited, thinking that Wang Yun thought of it had a deep meaning, but suddenly guessed: "Isn't it Dong Zhuo's subordinate?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yun stroked his palms and laughed, this scholar Sun Rui is really talented!

"Could it be Xu Rong who is loyal to his duties?" Huang Wan guessed that in his opinion, only an iron-blooded and upright general like Xu Rong was worthy of the great cause of supporting the Han family.

Actually, it's no wonder these people think so. Because most of Dong Zhuo's old troops were Liangzhou generals; But Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang, is an exception, he is a native of Liaodong, and he is a loyal and brave man. Although he defeated Cao Cao in Xingyang and Sun Jian in Luoyang, he only acted on orders. From this, it can also be seen that he has outstanding military talents. Everyone felt that if this person could be converted to the scholars, there would be great promise.

But Wang Yun lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "Xu Rong is loyal to his duties, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake." If the big thing has been accomplished, Xu Rong will naturally bow down and obey the order. However, if he was allowed to defect from Dong Thief, the old man was distracted. ”

When Shi Sunrui heard this, he asked urgently, "Who is Lord Situ talking about?" ”

"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"

"Such a coarse person, repeatedly cunning, treacherous, how can he have a heart for something?" Everyone couldn't help sighing, and they seemed to be very resentful of Wang Yun's answer.

But Xun You smiled secretly in his heart: Wang Yun, Wang Yun, the reason is that you can't see the importance of Ma Chao, so you don't need Ma Chao. Now it seems that I have wronged you. You're afraid that you won't be able to subdue Ma Chao, so you retreat and choose Lu Bu, right?

He already had an intention in his heart, and Xun You also pushed the boat for Wang Yun and said: "Although Lu Bu has a bad character, he is the easiest object to appease, and the 30,000 wolf riders in his hands are not used, and then the 20,000 flying bear army in Xu Rong's hands can be stabilized, and great things can be achieved." ”

Everyone still wanted to refute, but they had already excluded Ma Chao before, and they couldn't expect Xu Rong, not to mention, it was Lu Bu who Wang Yun chose, and they had no reason to refute. So, everyone had to agree, and began to scold Dong Zhuo for being unreasonable, cruel and unkind.

Only Captain Wu Fu flashed a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and he seemed to have made up some kind of determination.
