Chapter 891: All Waiting
After talking to Shi A, Yun Ting knew that some of his worries were completely unnecessary, and Shi Ah understood some things better than he imagined. There really came a time when he needed to make a choice, and he believed that Shi Ah would definitely make the right choice, at least not put himself in such a dangerous situation.
This is probably because of being in the market and at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang City. In comparison, their master Wang Yue seemed a little too naïve, but now that naivety should have been wiped out by reality. Officialdom is not a place that you can enter if you want to, at least Yun Ting knows that many heroes died in officialdom.
People like them are really not suitable for that kind of occasion.
After the superfluous worry in his heart disappeared, Yun Ting completely put his mind at ease, and now all that was left was really waiting. Wait for something to happen, wait for some result to appear, wait for some change to happen.
In the entire Luoyang City, there are still many people who are waiting like him, including Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and many others, and more players are waiting. The only one who is in action is probably Dong Zhuo, he has to pave the way for his ambitions and do a lot of things that should be done.
A lot of things depend on the result, and after getting that result, you can move on to the next action. Including Dong Zhuo's side, Yun Ting is now waiting for Dong Zhuo to make a move, when Dong Zhuo makes a move, it will reveal a fatal flaw, he will do it at that time, it is as easy as a hand, a gentle push, Dong Zhuo may not recover.
Calculating people, pay attention to the first step by step, step by step to guide the enemy into the trap laid. After that, you can sit quietly and wait, stop being the first, and slow down to respond based on the reaction of others.
In those days when he met Jia Xu, Yun Ting learned a lot, and this is one of them. No matter what, this is something you have to learn and experience, even if you don't calculate others or set up a game, you have to know these things.
Maybe you don't calculate anyone, but someone will calculate you, it's an unknown thing. But before the unknown happens, be prepared for everything you can do, which is the best way to deal with it, at least when those things are going on, you can still resist, rather than passively accept things happening.
Cao Cao stood up and stretched his body, feeling that the fatigue on his body had been alleviated a lot by his single action. Now he is still a lieutenant in the West Park Army, and when he needs to be on duty, he must be on duty in the army.
Coupled with the threat of Dong Zhuo, who was close at hand, he had a hard time during this period of time. In the words of Candle Shadow, he is a person who only needs to charge into battle, but he has a heart to worry about national affairs and the kind of life to work.
Indeed, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was still the case. But there is no way, if he doesn't know, then everything will go on as if he doesn't know anything, and in the end it will alleviate the guilt in his heart because he doesn't know anything.
But he knew, he knew, then he couldn't leave it alone, even if he was just a small lieutenant now. Otherwise, how could these princes in the court be the opponents of someone like Dong Zhuo?
A rebellious who has endured for a long time, has military power in his hands, and knows when to do it, those ministers in the court who have been pacified for a long time will not be Dong Zhuo's opponent. It was precisely because he knew this that he didn't try to persuade others to beware of Dong Zhuo, it would be useless and would make him look like a fool.
Like the words he once said in front of He Jin, they are now also regarded as jokes in the eyes of many people. They saw what Dong Zhuo did after he came to Luoyang City, it was completely the appearance of a courtier who was loyal to the country, and it was not like what Cao Cao said.
But do these people really know what he's doing behind it? Obviously, he didn't know, but if he knew, he should be worried about whether Cao Cao would be beaten into a rebellion. Compared to Dong Zhuo, his little lieutenant is really nothing, and the little military strength of the Xiyuan Army in his hands is not enough to make a splash in Liangzhou, not to mention that he can suppress the Qiang rebellion again and again.
Perhaps only when the results come out will it prove the correctness of what Cao Cao said and what he was doing. But he won't wait, he won't let that happen because he needs to prove the truth of what he said, because he needs to prove that he is a smart person.
Await? That's impossible, it's impossible to let that happen. People, you always have to give it a try, how can you do it if you don't give it a try? Even if you try and fail, it's better than failing to do nothing, at least it proves that you worked hard and proved that you did it. Even if you fail, it is not without gain, and every failure will lay something for future success.
Although he knew this, he also saw it very openly, and Cao Cao, who was not afraid of failure, hoped that he would not fail this time. He can afford to fail, this dynasty cannot afford to fail, and the people will not allow him to fail.
Scratching his head, Cao Cao felt that he was really still that kind of worrying secret. Replaced by him before, where did he have such a time to worry about? But people are always getting more and more different, constantly being changed over time, and being changed into a person they don't know at all.
It doesn't matter if it's someone you liked before, or someone you hated before, but it's all yourself.
Shake your head and drive all these thoughts out of your head. He just needs to wait now, he doesn't like it, and he has to wait and wait, and so on.
Do what is supposed to be done, do what has to be done, and keep going. Until, now that the calm situation has changed, or has it become more chaotic? Otherwise, any other actions at this juncture would only make the imperial court pay more attention to Dong Zhuo and ensure his safety.
With a light breath, Cao Cao walked towards the backyard and took the Qingyu Sword with him. He was going to dance the sword for a while, using sweat to calm himself down and stop being so anxious.
The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and many things cannot even be done well in an anxious state of mind.
In another part of Luoyang City, it is much more prosperous than the area where Cao Cao's mansion is located, and every inch of land is expensive. Everyone who can buy a house here, either has an extraordinary status, or is simply a kind of top wealthy businessman, otherwise they can't have a house here at all.
Cao Cao is also a house owner in Luoyang City, and the grade of the house is also very good compared to ordinary people, but compared with the house in this place, it is nothing. It's like a nice house, and when you meet that kind of garden villa in the heart of the city, it makes a huge difference.
Here, an old friend of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, lives. If Yuan Shao is an ordinary person, of course, it is impossible to live here during this period, even if he exhausts his whole life, it may be possible to do chores for those high-ranking families here, as for buying a house, don't think about it.
But where is he an ordinary person? Including Cao Cao, Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, if ordinary people really have to rely on their own strength to climb to this point, it is really a very difficult thing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is the dynasty where the gate valve is beginning to appear. Just look at Liu Bei, without Cao Cao's background and Yuan Shao's background, and without Sun Quan's good father and brother, as far as he is concerned, he has to spend most of his life until the end.
Otherwise, Liu Bei has experienced so many major turns, and anything is an opportunity for others. For example, Yuan Shao directly dominated Hebei, and when he was at his most powerful, Cao Cao was directly out of breath. For example, Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Yuan Shao's official position as a general was rewarded by him in the name of the Son of Heaven. Liu Bei had nothing, he had no chance, but he didn't have the ability to turn the opportunity into strength, so he had to hide in Tibet, and finally found an opportunity.
Cao Cao is very different from Liu Bei, but compared to Yuan Shaolai, the gap between the two is also huge. Cao Cao only started at the beginning, and wanted Yuan Shao to persuade He Jin, among the people he knew, only Yuan Shao had such strength and ability to make He Jin pay attention.
After the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Huai, one of the three dukes today, is Lu Bu's uncle, who would easily treat Lu Bu, the son of the Yuan family, as an ordinary person?
At this moment, Yuan Shao was sitting on a chair in the main hall of his house, listening to the news sent to him by his subordinates.
Luoyang City rarely has official news that can escape his ears, almost as long as he wants to know, he can get it from various channels. Just like the information that Yuan Shao heard now, it was the name of the Taishou of the various places that Dong Zhuo had visited one after another at various times and had come to suppress the Ten Standing Servants under the orders of the great general He Jin.
After listening, Yuan Shao showed a thoughtful expression. Dong Zhuo is indeed planning something, otherwise just looking at the frequency of visits, it will definitely not be so frequent and numerous. Obviously, only if there is a plan to do such an act, this already has a slight sense of collusion.
But what does that have to do with him? The stability of the court is not what Yuan Shao wants to see, if that is the case, how can he continue to climb upwards and have more power? He doesn't want to be called a famous family all the time, and there is a title of Yuan Jiazi in front of him.
