Chapter 433: The End
With the current situation, it is safest to follow Lu Zhi for the time being, with the player's prompt, Dong Zhuo is estimated to be unable to do those angry things in the original history, and he will not dare to harm Lu Zhi, a great Confucian with a reputation at home.
In addition, Lu Zhi is now also regarded as having a heavy army, as long as he wants to, he can immediately become a prince, and it is not something that Dong Zhuo can handle if he wants to.
There has been no new order from the Luoyang side, and Dong Zhuo seems to have forgotten that there are tens of millions of troops on both sides of the border who are fighting fiercely, and he is concentrating on consolidating his own strength. The concerts sent by Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song to Luoyang were all sunk into the sea.
Lu Zhi ignored the bad things in Luoyang, and now he is bent on going south to Yangcheng, uniting with Huangfu Song to defeat the Bocai Department, and then using the two armies to balance Dong Zhuo, so that he will not become the gravedigger of the Han family as in history.
Lu Zhi can be regarded as doing his best for the Han family, and he is heartbroken!
Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei and others were almost the same as Shang Ji's thoughts, all waiting to see the development of the situation, waiting for an opportunity to stand in line for personal interests.
However, before there was no new movement on the Luoyang side, he was still willing to continue to obey Lu Zhi's orders. There is no new backer, and everyone does not dare to disobey Lu Zhi, the more than two million Northern Army directly under his command are not vegetarians, and their overall combat power is higher than anyone present!
Don't look at Lu Zhi's usual kind attitude, but at this time, if someone takes the initiative to jump out and openly rebel against the Han family, Lu Zhi will definitely use iron and blood to make him understand what loyalty is!
After half a month, the army finally drove to Yingchuan County, and at the same time, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi also got in touch through special means.
There are also about 2.5 million Han troops in Yangcheng, including 2 million elite Han troops and 500,000 county soldiers. Before, because of the death of Liu Hong and He Jin, morale was low, but the most important thing in the city is the famous general.
Under the joint training of many historical generals, the morale of the army has almost recovered.
Cooperate with Lu Zhi's department, and completely cooperate with the outside and defeat the Bocai department in one fell swoop! And Bo Cai didn't seem to know anything about the current situation, and he still surrounded Yangcheng slowly, and he didn't have any abnormal reaction to the approaching Lu Zhibu.
Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song formulated a detailed battle plan through secret channels, including when to attack, how to divide and encircle, how to destroy the enemy, and how to deal with the aftermath of the war.
If this plan is followed, Bocai may really die without a place to be buried. However, the arrival of the Yang Envoy made all this come to naught!
"Brother Bo, why are you here?"
Lu Zhi looked at an old man outside the camp with joy, his face full of joy.
"Alas!" Cai Yong sighed and said with some sorrow: "It's hard to say!" ”
That's right, the messenger of Luoyang this time is Cai Yong, the father of Cai Yan, a famous calligrapher, a writer, a great Confucian, and a model of ancient talented women!
"Brother Bo, what is the specific inside story of the Luoyang incident? Was His Majesty really killed by Zhang Rang? Is Dong Zhongying really as arrogant and lascivious as rumored? Is the new emperor's life in danger? ”
As soon as he saw Cai Yong, Lu Zhi kept asking questions like a cannon.
Cai Yong smiled bitterly, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Brother Zi, wait first, let's talk about these questions one by one!" ”
"Oh, Brother Bo, forgive me, I'm reckless!" Lu Zhi also realized his gaffe, smiled awkwardly, and apologized to Cai Yong.
Cai Yong sighed and answered Lu Zhi's questions one by one: "The great changes in Luoyang, which are full of fog, and the old man can't see clearly, but according to the Yulin guard on duty at the time and the personal guards of the guard general, it was indeed Zhang Rang and his group who assassinated the general and His Majesty!" ”
"How is this possible?" Lu Zhi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Cai Yong in disbelief, "Doesn't that eunuch know that his power comes from His Majesty?" Why did you assassinate Your Majesty? Is he killing himself? ”
Cai Yong shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The old man can't understand it, but they all say that it is the eunuch party who murdered His Majesty!" ”
Lu Zhi's face was cloudy, and after a while, he lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty has been in the sky, and now there is no point in discussing this issue, the most important thing now is whether Dong Zhuo is really as rumored?" ”
Lu Zhi can be sure that Liu Hong's death is inseparable from Dong Zhuo, even if it is not Dong Zhuo's work, he will also contribute to the trouble. But the situation has reached such a point that there is no point in pursuing these things, facing the future, waiting for the new monarch to come of age and then take over the government is what Lu Zhi needs to consider.
"Dong Zhuo......?" Speaking of Dong Zhuo, Cai Yong's face was full of confusion, and he hesitated for a while, and Cai Yong hesitated in Lu Zhi's urging gaze and said, "Dong Zhongying...... Rather...... There is quite a big Sima, a general, and the wind of Bo Luhou! ”
"What?" Lu Zhi stood up and looked at Cai Yong dumbfounded.
The Great General, the Great Sima, and the Marquis of Bo Lu refer to the powerful minister Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty, because after Huo Guang's death, his family was executed for rebellion, so he was not called by his name, but referred to as the Great General, the Great Sima, and the Marquis of Bo Lu.
Although Huo Guang once abolished the emperor, and his family even rebelled, Huo Guang was a loyal and capable minister in terms of historical positioning!
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty personally ordered the Huo family to be killed, but then he commented on Huo Guang as "meritorious as Xiao Xiangguo"; Ban Gu thinks Huo Guang: "Kuang country, An Sheji, support Zhao, Lixuan, although Zhou Gong and A Heng why do they add this!" ”
Xiao He and Zhou Gong are almost the highest examples of ancient people, which shows Huo Guang's historical status.
And now Cai Yong actually commented that Dong Zhuo has the style of Huo Guang, which is really surprising to Lu Zhi.
"Although Dong Zhongying has a heavy army, he has never killed a person since he entered the capital. He was extremely respectful to the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, and strictly adhered to the etiquette of the courtiers, without exceeding it at all. The soldiers under his command were strictly disciplined and did not commit any offense against the people, and even the Northern Army and Yu Linwei were much stronger than before under his control. ”
"Could it be...... Could it be that this Dong Zhuo plans to be Wang Mang? After staying for a while, Lu Zhi suddenly spoke up.
Cai Yong was silent, this is the best explanation, but Cai Yong obviously has illusions about the current Dong Zhuo newspaper, otherwise the comment on Dong Zhuo just now is not the wind of Huo Guang but the wind of Wang Mang.
But Lu Zhi was full of hostility towards Dong Zhuo, and Cai Yong didn't know what to say in front of his friends.
"By the way, I still don't know if Brother Bo has important things to do in the army this time? But bring your majesty's new will? ”
After thinking about it for a while, he found that there was no good way to deal with Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi put Dong Zhuo's matter aside first, and then asked Cai Yong.
Cai Yong's identity this time is the emperor's envoy, but now that Luoyang is controlled by Dong Zhuo, the emperor is only eight years old, and Lu Zhi is naturally clear who Cai Yong is to send the message to. However, in order not to embarrass his old friend, Lu Zhi deliberately avoided this topic.
"Ahem!" As soon as he heard what Lu Zhi said, Cai Yong's face immediately turned red, and he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and Cai Yong said hesitantly: "Yong came this time to deliver a decree for His Majesty." ”
Cai Yong took a deep breath, as if he had let go, and said directly: "The first Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Thief has been abandoned in Luoyang, and His Majesty has decided to pardon Zhang Jiao and all the crimes of the Yellow Turban Army, and named Zhang Jiao as the real person who protects the country, and all the Yellow Turban Army will be reorganized into official troops on the spot, and the rest will be disbanded and returned to agriculture on the spot." From now on, all the departments immediately stopped fighting with the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion was pacified! ”
"This is the common opinion of all the courtiers and the Empress Dowager!" In the end, as if to increase his authority, Cai Yong added another sentence, but looking at his eagerness to get into the cracks in the ground, he obviously knew that this sentence was not convincing.
