Dong Zhuo and Lu Yao used the northern and southern armies as bargaining chips to make an appointment.

Lu Yao's return to Luoyang is no secret among the hundred officials of the imperial court. Suddenly, I heard that Lu Yao was going to fight with Dong Zhuo, and all the officials discussed in private was this important matter.

Since Lu Yao hung up the seal and said goodbye, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo and escaped from Luoyang, Luoyang City has become Dong Zhuo's world. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were sent to the old capital Chang'an, and there was no one in the court to balance Dong Zhuo. It was rare for Lu Yao to stand up again, and all the officials were eager for him to kill Dong Zhuo's prestige.

Hearing the news, Situ Wang Yun came to Yuan's Mansion as soon as possible. Seeing Yuan Kui, he didn't care about greetings, and said straight to the point: "What does Taifu think?" ”

Although the words are not clear, as long as they are not stupid, they know what Wang Yun is referring to. Yuan Kui shook his head and said, "Dong thieves are like wolves, and aliens are like tigers. Whether it is a wolf or a tiger, it is a big trouble for the imperial court. ”

Wang Yun thought so and fell silent.

Dong Zhuo doesn't need to say much, he is arrogant and domineering, but there are those who are not in agreement, either exiled, imprisoned or killed, which makes the people in the court panic, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak. And Lu Yao certainly did not show Dong Zhuo's arrogance and domineering, but according to his past, he was obviously not a good person. If Lu Yao, a stranger, is allowed to usurp power, he will be even more angry than Dong Zhuo.

"According to Taifu's intentions, what should we do?" Wang Yun was silent for a moment and humbly asked for advice.

"Let him fight with tigers and wolves, what do you have to do with me." Yuan Kui smiled faintly.

"It's too smart." Wang Yun turned his worries into joy, and bowed with admiration.

Yuan Kui's meaning is self-evident, that is, to let Lu Yao and Dong Zhuo fight. Whichever side wins, the other side will inevitably be at odds. Over time, the contradictions between the two sides have become increasingly surging, and they are just a check and balance on each other. As the main constituent of the DPRK and China, the 100 officials will become the target of competition between the two sides. In this way, the power will inevitably gradually return to the hands of the hundred officials. When the time is ripe, you can regain power and return the Son of Heaven in one fell swoop. It can be said that retreat is a good strategy.

"What if the two of them turn enemies into friends?" Wang Yun immediately hesitated again.

This question cannot be left unconsidered. Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to envelop Lu Yao as a general, which shows that he is full of sincerity. Now what Dong Zhuo and Lu Yao are fighting for is nothing more than the control of the two armies in the north and south. If Dong Zhuo was forced to be helpless and ruthlessly sent the northern and southern armies to Lu Yao, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the two sides to have a rift between them. The combination of tigers and wolves is undoubtedly a disaster for the imperial court.

Yuan Kui laughed and scolded with a smile: "The sub-master is so confused. How can tigers and wolves coexist? ”

"Taiwei ......" Wang Yun was helpless.

"The sub-master is too worried." Yuan Kui shook his head and smiled, and patiently explained: "Dong Zhuo's old thief has dominated the dynasty for a long time, how can he tolerate others to control his elbows. Now the appeasement and compromise, and the position of the general to entrap that stranger, is nothing more than to let him share the pressure. The little nephew highway, the two of them are now in contact with the group to send troops to recruit Dong thief. If it weren't for this, how could Dong Zhuo's old thief compromise with just a few strangers. When its wings are full, it is the time when the two thieves fight. Why should we have more rights and wrongs, and cause trouble in vain? ”

"Captain is saying that we can secretly help him and help him become full-fledged?" Wang Yun was surprised and delighted.

"Say more, do less." Yuan Kui smiled faintly, looking like a bamboo in his chest.

Wang Yun took a reassuring pill and immediately put his mind at ease.

Say more, do less, just don't be reckless and go into battle in person, say a few empty words, make a few verbal promises, and create an atmosphere where all officials return to their hearts. As long as you create an atmosphere, you are not afraid that Lu Yao will not be fooled, and you will directly fight Dong Zhuo.

It's too easy to talk empty words, this is the ability to take care of the house.

After chatting for a short time, Wang Yun said goodbye and left, leaving Yuan's mansion with his front foot, and going straight to Wen Mingyuan with his back foot. The status of the remaining hundred officials is not enough, and Yuan Kui is now the head of the three princes, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward in person, and he is the only one who meets the requirements.

"Wang Yun? What is he doing here? Lu Yao received a report from his subordinates and was quite surprised.

Counting it, he and Wang Yun haven't met in the real sense. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was the first time I entered Luoyang, and I saw him from afar in Hefu, and then I saw each other not far from the previous dynasty at that time, and in terms of friendship, there was no at all.

"Come, set up a banquet, and invite Wang Situ."

Wang Yun entered the hall, and the banquet was just ready. Lu Yao didn't let anyone accompany him, and there were two seats in the hall. Wang Yun's eyes swept over, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, saying that a stranger is a stranger, and he doesn't know how to be polite.

"I haven't seen Master Hou for a long time, and the old man misses it so much. Today, Hou Ye came to Luoyang again, and the old man came uninvited, and asked Hou Ye to forgive his sins. After all, Wang Yun is an old treacherous and cunning person, and his thoughts are well hidden, and after a polite manner, Lu Yao almost thought that he had a deep friendship with him.

"Situ, please." Lu Yao smiled faintly and raised the wine cup to salute.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yun said a few words beautifully, and the guests and hosts were happy for a while, and finally the words changed sharply, and he said with a straight face: "Master Hou, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Lu Yao smiled when he saw that the drama was coming.

"Dong Zhuo's old thief is a disaster for the dynasty, and everyone will be punished. However, Dong Thief is powerful, and hundreds of officials are panicked, and they have never been able to compete with him. I don't know how many loyal and righteous people have been murdered. Now that Hou Ye has returned to Luoyang, the old man is willing to follow the dog and horse, saying that he will respond to Hou Ye. I only ask the marquis to eradicate traitors for the court and live up to the trust of loyal ministers and righteous people. Wang Yun said very sincerely, and when he talked about sadness, he shed a few old tears.

"Situ's words are very much in line with my wishes." Lu Yao let out a long sigh.

Wang Yun was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to continue agitating, not wanting Lu Yao to change his words, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "But I don't have a soldier in my hands, what can I do?" ”

Wang Yun: "......"

The battle in the court, what are the swords and guns doing. Everyone is a cultural person, so we should use the method of a cultural person. For example, negotiating, taking advantage of the situation, etc., the worst thing is to use swords and soldiers, that is the work of rough people. Everyone is a cultural person, okay.

"It is precisely because there are no soldiers in his hands that Ben Hou wants to take back the second army of the north and the south." Lu Yao saw that Wang Yun looked slightly embarrassed, and immediately changed his tone and called himself Benhou.

Although I don't want to admit it, the energy of the civil official group led by Wang Yun, Yuan Kui and others is indeed not small. Even if Dong Zhuoquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, he didn't dare to cross the line, and only dared to use a few people to kill chickens and monkeys.

What he lacks at the moment is a team of soldiers. If Wang Yun can say that the civilian official group will take down the northern and southern armies, he will no longer worry about Dong Zhuo playing tricks and forcibly crushing them with thousands of troops.

So, then Wang Yun racked his brains and came up with all kinds of rhetoric to shirk it, Lu Yao only insisted on the bottom line, and he had to master a soldier and horse before he was willing to turn his face with Dong Zhuo. The persuasion was fruitless, so Wang Yun had to give up and ended hastily.

Leaving Wen Mingyuan, Wang Yun looked back and said stupidly: "Vulgar soldiers, how can you be a person in my generation." As soon as he thought of this, he chuckled in his heart again: "It's not good, this person's temperament is no different from Dong Thief." If the imperial court falls into his hands, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of Dong Zhuo. ”

Thinking of this, Wang Yun immediately ordered someone to go back to Yuan's mansion and inform Yuan Kui of the truth, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, he hesitated again. He has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and he doesn't know the heart of Yuan Kui's capitulationist.

After thinking about it, he secretly sighed: "Even so, only the old man can turn the tide." ”
