Chapter 107: The Wind Rises
Chapter 107 is surging
The night is deep, but the south palace in the center of Luoyang City is brightly lit.
The palace garden is deep, on the pillars and under the ridge of the eaves, there are lanterns of lighting, in the light of the shadows, I can only see the heavy eaves of the roof flying, the treasure top is decorated with the hook head dripping water of the kissing beast and the tile, the sè color is gorgeous, the style is luxurious.
At this moment, the atmosphere of this magnificent and noble place is not very good, the guards on duty are nervous, and what makes them nervous is the roaring and quarreling sound coming from the tall Deyang Palace!
"Everyone, everyone, don't quarrel anymore, whether you leave or stay, it's not something that can be done in a short time, you guys are shouting here, what's the use of annoying the prime minister, isn't this adding to the chaos?"
Li Ru rubbed his temples while trying to maintain order. Commanding the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, dominating the world, it sounds very majestic, but in fact it is not like that at all, it is difficult for these proud soldiers to serve, especially those Hu Chong.
When burning, killing and looting, one top eight, and when there is really a tough battle to be fought and the situation is in crisis, one by one only thinks about applying oil to the soles of their feet as soon as possible, faster than a rabbit.
It's a pity that Yuezhang didn't listen to his advice, so he had to bring these brutes to Luoyang, and as a result, the reputation of the Xiliang Army was completely stinky, and he didn't want to contribute at the critical moment!
Back to Xiliang? It's quite easy to say, Sanfu has been ruined to the extreme after repeated wars, otherwise how could the imperial court almost pass a resolution and abandon Guanzhong?
It's just dilapidated, the most important thing is that there are few people and no population, so what's the use of retracting back to Guanzhong? Can you hold it up with these Hu people? The reason why Western Qin was able to embrace the danger of Guanzhong and sweep the six countries was because the land of Qin had not been affected by the war!
Not only can you rely on your own land to recuperate, but you can also plunder the population and materials of other countries to enrich yourself, and there is an endless supply of Bashu, which has the strength to sweep the best.
If you can't return to Guanzhong with most of the people of Luoyang, this move to move the capital will be a complete joke.
"Dr. Li, you said that it will take a long time to take the people away, and you have to bring them, so we will also rely on you, but since this is the case, you have already left early, and the trouble will only increase if you are grinding here?"
"That is, if those bird officials in the court dare to be verbose, they will all be cut down. If those Diao people refuse to leave, as long as the prime minister gives an order, we will arrest people from house to house, hmph, the bright knife is revealed, are you afraid that they will not leave? Brothers, are you right? β
"That's right! Door-to-door searching! β
"Shut up Lao Tzu!"
Dong Zhuo sat on the dragon chair with a calm face, watching the gang of people under him become more and more disagreeable, Li Ru couldn't suppress it anymore, he was angry, stood up and shouted: "Do you think that the prime minister doesn't know what kind of virtue you are?" Let you go door-to-door searching, how many living people are left in Luoyang? How much else is left? What did the rest of the people rely on to get to Chang'an? β
Dong Zhuo's majesty is still very heavy, his outburst startled everyone, for a while, everyone look at me, I look at you, they didn't make a sound, Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
"But Prime Minister, now the white wave is menacing, the forward has passed as far as Pusaka, and there is a great tendency to attack Guanzhong, and now only Niu Zhonglang is stationed in Chang'an, if there is a case, then we ......"
"Yes, anyway, the back road has been threatened by the white wave thieves, and it is impossible to move the people to Chang'an, so it is better to simply let the brothers go and grab a handful, and then take the emperor and the hundred officials to Guanzhong, there is money and food, and then there is the one Dr. Li said...... What's going on? β
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes!" Someone reminded me.
"Yes, that's it!" The man who spoke patted his head and laughed: "Without these, we didn't enter Luoyang last year, and with these, are you afraid that you won't be able to fight back in the future?" β
"Yes, that's it!"
As the so-called Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable to say, if Li Ru hears the proverb of later generations, he will definitely bow to the person who created this word on the spot, which is really reasonable.
As long as they heard that they could let go and rob it, the Xiliang Army and the gang were happy, and the reason or something was useless to them.
"Get out! Fuck me out, get out! β
Therefore, if you want to deal with these animals, you have to rely on more ruthless and arrogant people. Dong Zhuo roared, these guys didn't move, and they all peeked at Dong Zhuo's face with sinister eyes, but they refused to move their nests under their feet.
"Don't roll, do you? You want to let go of the robbery in Luoyang City, right? Okay, no problem! Dong Zhuo laughed angrily, now all the generals began to be nervous, Dong Zhuo's temper is short-tempered, roaring and anger is the norm, there is nothing to be afraid of, the most terrible thing is that he starts laughing, when he laughs, he is really angry, if anyone no longer has eyes to go up, just wait for bad luck.
I only heard Dong Zhuo sneer and said: "Yingchuan returned, Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses divided into two roads in Yingchuan, all the way to the east, and went to Xuzhou; The other way stopped at YingyΔ«n and went west, the target should be Luyang ......"
He raised his left hand to the side of his face, stroked the part that should have had an ear, and said: "Wang Yu's banner of that little thief is with Yuan Shu, he is going to Luyang, not to Taishan!" Who wants to sack Luoyang? Stand up, come, don't be afraid, Benxiang just wants to give you a task, go to Luyang, arrest Wang Yu for Benxiang, live or die, and then you can do whatever you want in Luoyang? What do you think? Who wants to go? β
Silent.
If the conditions are changed, even if it is to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, there may be people who stand up and receive the order. The generals of the Xiliang Army are indeed not very good, but they still attach great importance to heavy rewards, and the conditions of sacking Luoyang are enough for them to fight for their lives.
However, go to Luyang to fight Wang Pengju? This is not a fight for life, it is a death in vain, the tens of thousands of troops of Niu Fu and Hu Zhen have been wiped out, just with the remaining troops in Luoyang City, how can they get that evil god? Fools go there!
"No one? Is this anyone? Dong Zhuo's face changed, and he scolded: "Look at your little interest, you still want to loot Luoyang...... Get out of here! β
This time, the momentum of the generals disappeared completely, and they got out of the way.
Although the eye-catching guys are gone, Dong Zhuo is still angry.
Li Ru can understand the mood of his father-in-law, as the saying goes: the lord humiliates the ministers to death, the lord worries about the ministers, and the uncle's ears are gone, and as a result, few of his subordinates dare to come forward.
What's more, that Wang Yu didn't give up, and actually ran to Luyang! With that thief's style, he went to Luyang, definitely not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to prepare to consolidate the back road, and then attack Luoyang from the south road.
So...... Li Ru closed his eyes in pain, tsk, veritable embattled!
It's been an eventful season, and the bad news is constant!
After gasping for a while, Dong Zhuo came back to his senses and asked, "Wenyou, is there any new news over there in Hedong?" β
"Not yet." Li Ru shook his head.
Dong Zhuo walked back and forth on the ground a few times anxiously: "Bai Bo's side, is it the prince's master?" Didn't you set up a secret sentry in his house, why is there no news yet? β
Li Ru muttered: "It's not certain yet, the last news of Situ Mansion is that Wang Yun sent three people, including secret agents, to take a detour to Hedong, and the specific situation is unknown." The son-in-law thinks that Wang Yun's old man should not have this kind of ability, maybe ......"
"What?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Li Ru frowned and said: "I got fragmentary information intermittently before, and my son-in-law felt that there seemed to be something suspicious in it, but it was incomplete for a while, and I couldn't make a conclusion for the time being." However, the prince is unreliable, this matter has been determined, recently, he and Wen Hou are also very close, the son-in-law is worried, father-in-law, do you want to simply ......"
"Or not, right? Wang Zishi has a great reputation, and there is no real evidence, so it is better not to touch him......"
Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head, "At least he didn't openly oppose Ben Xiang in the court, if even he was killed, how many famous people in the world would take refuge in me?" β
He looked up at the door and sighed, "You also saw just now, how can it be possible with those Hu seeds?" They know that they still have to rely on celebrities to kill, rob, and govern the world. β
Li Ru bowed his head and promised: "What Uncle Yue said is true." β
Dong Zhuo sighed: "But at the critical moment, you are more reliable than Wen You, are we a family, but he doesn't fight for hating the calf......"
"Uncle Yue, Niu Zhonglang ......"
"Okay, let's not talk about him, let him go through the experience again." Dong Zhuo changed his words and said: "However, what you said Wen You also makes sense, you can't let him go too far, you want to find a way, knock him, don't let him go too far." β
He was clueless in what he said, and his title was a bit messy, but Li Ru had long been familiar with his father-in-law's style, and knew that Dong Zhuo had teleported to the previous topic.
"Rest assured, the son-in-law will arrange it properly."
"That's good, that's good, there's too much bad news during this time, my heart is heavy." Dong Zhuo's voice gradually lowered, and he leaned back, Li Ru knew that the old man was tired and had to rest. He bowed down and took a few steps back, and was about to turn around to go out of the palace gate, when he called the palace people to come and serve, when he suddenly heard a sharp sound of footsteps outside.
Li Ru jumped out of the door with an arrow and shouted, "Who is so bold?" Don't you know if the prime minister is going to rest? β
The people who came were full of anxiety, and when they saw Li Ru, they hurriedly whispered: "Dr. Li, the big thing is not good, there is a jΗng ...... in Xingyang"
Hearing the word Xingyang, Li Ru chuckled in his heart, since the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, the eastern front has become a thorn in the hearts of the generals of Xiliang. It wasn't until Wang Yu left that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Ru had been very nervous, he hoped that Wang Yu would not leave, as long as Wang Yu was waiting in the Tiger Prison, the Yanzhou heroes would not be afraid, but when he left, it would be difficult to say!
Just as he was about to pull the messenger to find a secluded place to inquire carefully, a loud voice came from the hall: "Come in and talk!" What happened to Xingyang? β
So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered the hall, Li Ru had no choice but to follow behind.
ββ¦β¦ Three years ago, the heroes of Yanzhou swore an oath in the sour dates, with the Fenwu general Cao CΔo as the main general, and the Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, and Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai all responded! The army has a total of more than 50,000 foot horses, and has left the sour jujube at that time, and the army is advancing very fast, and now it has arrived in the Xingyang area! β
"What!" Dong Zhuo was shocked, the western front was in an emergency, and there were accidents on the eastern front, coupled with the hidden worries of the southern front......
He looked up to the sky and cried out: "Is this the sky that is going to kill me Dong Zhuo?" β
"Don't worry." Dong Zhuo changed into a sΓ¨, but a glimmer of jΔ«ng flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he comforted: "As the saying goes: Fortune and misfortune lie in wait, and misfortune and fortune rely on, Cao CΔo entered the army, it seems that he has picked the best time, but he only knows himself and does not know the other, this matter is not a good opportunity for us to succeed!" β
Dong Zhuo has always believed in this son-in-law, and when he said this, Dong Zhuo grabbed Li Ru's hand as if he had caught a life-saving straw, and asked urgently: "Will Ji be released?" β
"You go down, don't spread the news for the time being." Li Ru waved his hand and sent the messenger back, and after the latter retreated, he turned around, leaned into Dong Zhuo's ear, and whispered: "Actually, ......"
The voice was very low, so low that it was inaudible, but as long as he saw Dong Zhuo Tieqing's face, slowly dissolving, and gradually turning into a flush, you could know that Li Ru's strategy must be very reasonable, which made him turn his worries into joy.
The night wind is more urgent, and dark clouds cover the moon.
The war on the Eastern Front was like a cold wind, which added a bit of chaos to the stormy Han Dynasty.
ps. Although it is less than ten votes, thank you all, the big ** of the Luoyang plot is coming, it should break out, Xiaoyu still broke out, in return for your support, come on! (To be continued.)
