Chapter 37: The Burning of Luoyang (2)

In the big tent, there was silence, except for the sound of the three people's breathing, all that was left was the sound of the thunderbolt when the candle flame burned out, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in a daze, and said in his heart: "I'll go, it's too against the sky, it's okay, and let me not be a normal person." ”

Don't think that Cao Cao is making too much of a fuss, you must know that Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang because he had the memory of later generations, if he didn't have the memory of later generations, he would never have thought of this aspect.

After all, Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty, which has been preserved for more than 400 years, also makes its imperial capital in the eyes of the people at this time, just like Rome, the holy land of Christianity in later generations.

But what about Guo Jia, a native of this era, he actually relied on Li Ru's strategy just now, coupled with Li Ru's character, to say such a thing, this is not only a terrifying understanding of people's hearts, but also a chilling madness, at least in the eyes of Chen Gong, in his opinion, only crazy people will have such thoughts in their hearts.

But this is Guo Jia, why Guo Jia was called a ghost plot by later generations, is because every one of his schemes is unexpected, and it can even be said that every scheme is a crazy gamble.

For example, when Guandu was crossing, Cao Cao was worried that Sun Ce in the rear would attack, but Guo Jia asserted that Sun Ce would not attack, so Cao Cao would bring all the soldiers and horses to meet Yuan Shao, it can be said that this gamble is very crazy, if Guo Jia is wrong, then in the end, it will definitely not be Cao Cao who will unify the northern land.

Of course, in the end, Guo Jia won the bet, and Sun Ce died at the hands of the assassin Xu Gong, of course, this is not a great prophecy, but Guo Jia's understanding of people's hearts is beyond ordinary people.

However, from Guo Jia's hesitation just now, it can be seen that even a strategist like Guo Jia, who already has a rough grasp in his heart, is shocked because of the shocking thing that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru will do next.

& Maybe, Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, how could Dong Zhuo be so frustrated, burning, burning Luoyang, the capital of Beijing? ”

Chen Gong, who had come back from Guo Jia's "rebellious" and even "heartbroken" words just now, glared at Guo Jia fiercely and said.

I can't believe it, but if Li Ru's character doesn't change, such a poisonous plan will eventually come true. ”

& Eighteen road princes, the purpose of gathering together, on the surface is to crusade against Dong Zhuo, in fact, the real purpose of most of the princes, in their hearts, is to enter the capital Luoyang, if possible, to become a powerful minister like Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo retreats into the pass, with the three passes of Qin to hold on, if the princes of all walks of life can not be attacked for a long time, the undercurrent under its cover, will be Luoyang as the reason, erupted, so the alliance collapsed, Dong Zhuo sat in the fertile field of thousands of miles of passes, and entered the Central Plains from Hangu Pass or south to Bashu, Retreat can rely on Qin's three passes to hold on, such a plan, how could Li Ru give up. Guo Jia said lightly something that made Chen Gong completely desperate.

& Is it possible, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, how dare they, that's the imperial capital?! ”

& Sit down for a while and calm down. ”

After Cao Cao pressed Chen Gong, who was confused and was muttering incessantly, to his seat, he turned his gaze to Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, if Dong Zhuo really burns Luoyang, then how should our army act?" ”

Chen Gong's heart was already hesitant at this time, but Cao Cao's heart was 100% convinced that Dong Zhuo's tyranny and madness were understood by any later generation, so for Cao Cao, it was useless to argue about these at this time, the main thing was how to deal with it next.

At this time, the shock caused by the speculation that Dong Zhuo would burn Luoyang had almost disappeared, Guo Jia returned to normalcy, and smiled at Cao Cao: "Lord, if Dong Zhuo burns Luoyang, then he will definitely abandon the Tiger Pass, at that time, please lead the army and rush to Luoyang in the starry night, if Dong Zhuo has not completely evacuated Luoyang, the lord can wave his troops to attack, if he has completely evacuated, the lord can temporarily stop the pursuit, first extinguish the fire in Luoyang, and wait until all the princes gather in Luoyang, Let's talk about the rest. ”

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao, who had a score in his heart, said to Guo Jia: "In this case, according to the method that Feng Xiao said, the public platform." ”

Cao Cao came to Chen Gong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang may not really happen." ”

Chen Gong raised his head, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Chen Gong is slightly unwell, so he will retire first." ”

>> Go down and rest first, and recuperate yourself. ”

After Chen Gong went down, Guo Jia also bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, Jia has also retired." ”

&

After waving his hand to let Guo Jia go down, Cao Cao came to the top of the main seat and sat down, looking at the candle flame that flickered from time to time, not knowing what was thinking in his heart.

Ten days passed in a flash, even if the Allies did not make the slightest progress on the side of the Tiger Pass, which was almost equivalent to losing troops in vain, but on the side of the Bishui Pass, there was good news.

Ten days, the princes of the Eighth Road continued to attack Bishui Pass, just yesterday, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, the Danyang elite soldiers under his command, a little worse, on the capture of Bishui Pass.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo walked back and forth with an irritated face for a while, then stopped and said to Li Ru on the side: "Wen You, although most of the thieves are now rejected under the Tiger Prison Pass, but the guards of Bishui Pass have sent a letter, saying that if there are no reinforcements, Bishui Pass is about to be lost, this guard of Bishui Pass is really a waste, our family gave him 50,000 horses, plus the original Bishui Pass guards, but there are 100,000 ah, that's it, they can't hold it, waste, waste!" ”

After speaking, the anxiety and panic in Dong Zhuo's heart directly turned into anger and roared to vent, and Li Ru on the side quietly waited for Dong Zhuo to stop before he said: "My son-in-law has heard a nursery rhyme recently, I don't know my father-in-law, have you ever heard of it?" ”

&Rumors? What nursery rhymes? ”

At this time, people are also very superstitious about nursery rhymes, in their opinion, the appearance of nursery rhymes often represents the will of heaven, so even Dong Zhuo, who was in a rage, put down the anger in his heart and asked.

Li Ru touched his goatee and smiled: "There is a Han in the west, a Han in the east, and the deer can enter Chang'an, so there is no difficulty." ”

Dong Zhuo, who heard this, thought for a moment and asked, "This nursery rhyme reconciliation?" ”
