29. Xun Gongda
Li Ru received Fang Xia's letter.
Now that the war is raging, the road to Luoyang at this time is not easy to walk, but the Xun family is also quite desperate in order to keep Xun You. Although when Fang Xia left before, he felt that Li Ru was too insidious and difficult to deal with. But in fact, because of the favorability, compare Li Ru with Fang Xia and others, and you will know the gap.
Fang Xia's request was not too much, and the Xun family prepared a generous gift, only begging Li Ru to let Dong Zhuo not think of chopping Xun You before leaving Luoyang.
Li Ru would not have agreed.
As a top strategist, he is long-sighted and not short-sighted. Naturally, he knew that if Xun You and the others were released, they would let the tiger return to the mountain, and if they didn't kill it this time, they would definitely become a member of the rebellion against Dong Zhuo in the future. But Fang Xia's face, he couldn't help but give it, so Li Ru decided to go to the prison cell and gamble on "luck".
See whose side the destiny is.
After Dong Zhuo gave the order, the prison guards began to "clear the field", and these people couldn't take them away, they must have killed them.
Xun Yu and they conspired to assassinate Dong Zhuo, which is a felony, Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Cao Cao once before, although Cao Cao did not succeed, but Dong Zhuo was also made to have a psychological shadow and was very allergic to this kind of thing. After killing these "traitors", the prison guards can also go to their superiors to receive merit, and maybe they can get some rewards.
Therefore, even if it is bloody here, they do not shy away from it, and they appear to be very active.
Xun You and several people who were arrested with him, because they had the most "crimes", were locked up in the innermost, and they happened to live a little longer at this time. Looking at this hellish scene, some people fainted with fright on the spot, some people turned pale, and some people committed suicide when they were imprisoned because they were afraid of the punishment that followed.
When Li Ru walked over, he saw Xun Yu looking at ease in such a scene.
There is a celebrity style who looks down on life and death.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not as good as the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was not yet important to talk about the Qing Dynasty, but as far as Xun You's appearance was concerned, Li Ru also felt impressed, and realized that this person would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.
Li Ru fell into torment.
If Fang Xia wanted him to betray Dong Zhuo and let Xun You go, Li Ru naturally didn't want to think about it, what is the righteous sister, it must be more loyal. But Fang Xia only let Li Ru protect Xun You's life, let him stay in prison, and he didn't have to let people go, although leaving Xun You here is no different from letting him go, but the psychological feeling is different.
Li Ru finally ordered people to stop and let them retreat with the large army.
Naturally, the prison guards obeyed the order in fear.
Li Ru glanced at Xun Yu and said, "For the sake of Lord Diao Chan, you should wait for yourself." The princes of the Eighteenth Road are about to enter Beijing in the near future, and I think you understand......"
Xun You's eyes were calm, and he said, "You should be like this." ”
Li Ru left the cell and went to find Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo agreed to Li Ru's construction and decided to move the capital to Chang'an. But he naturally will not be willing to go so simply, before leaving, he ordered people to set fire to Luoyang, loot the family, dig up the tombs of the first emperors of the Han Dynasty, and the ministers who opposed him before, killed those who should be killed, and cut those who should be chopped, almost turned Luoyang into a dead city.
Seeing this situation, Wang Yun's murderous intent towards Dong Zhuo really reached the extreme.
Although he doesn't have the people in his heart, he really pretends to be a family and a royal family of the Han Dynasty. At least Wang Yun does not have the slightest so-called self-reliance on behalf of the Han Dynasty at present, at most he is just a powerful minister and an assistant to the little emperor. If the interests of the family can be protected at the same time, of course, it is the best.
Everyone is vying for power, if it is within the scope of the rules, of course it is no problem, but now the problem is that Dong Zhuo is about to overturn because he is too good and plays a good hand of cards like this. Then Dong Zhuo said that he couldn't get benefits, and then everyone didn't think about the benefits, and just opened the chessboard, which would be too much.
It's a pity that Fang Xia kept delaying and didn't cooperate with him. Otherwise, Wang Yun really planned to cooperate with her inside and outside and did Dong Zhuo's.
Dong Zhuo's subordinates have the first prestige, naturally Li Ru, as a military advisor and important minister, and Dong Zhuo's most trusted person, but Li Ru is different from Wang Yun, he has no ambition at all, he wants to be a strategist, he doesn't plan to be the lord in person, and he has no military power.
At present, the main military power deployed by Dong Zhuo is concentrated in the hands of his son-in-law Niu Fu, if Dong Zhuo dies, Niu Fu can convince Li Ru, and it is very likely that he will be able to inherit Dong Zhuo's position. With Dong Fatzi's appearance, it is conceivable what his daughter can look like, Niu Fu is willing to be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, it must not be because of love.
Wang Yun wanted to get his hands on military power, but at least so far, he hadn't achieved anything, so he had to hit Fang Xia with his idea.
At this time, Wang Yun didn't expect that his righteous daughter had changed someone, and he thought that with his understanding of Diao Chan before, he would definitely not stop there, and he didn't doubt Fang Xia's loyalty to her for the time being, but it was the impact of the war, and his letter might not have reached Fang Xia at all, so it could be explained.
He is now just a civil servant, he has no military power in his hands, and naturally he has no right to speak, so he is dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and he can't help Dong Zhuo now. The whole Luoyang is under the control of Li Ru, the wind is loud, the grass and trees are soldiers, Xun You and they just got themselves into it with a tandem, and they haven't done it yet, which is also a lesson from the past.
So in the end, Wang Yun still endured this breath, to deal with Dong Zhuo, there will be opportunities in the future, there is no need to rush.
After Dong Zhuo gave Lu Bu the order to retreat, he rolled towards Chang'an with all his troops and horses.
Lu Bu didn't want to retreat, he was so arrogant that he was almost conceited, in his Lu Fengxian's dictionary, of course there would be no such thing as defeat.
But the army was Dong Zhuo's, not his, Xu Rong received Dong Zhuo's order and soon retreated with the army.
Lu Budao: "You dare to disobey?"
Xu Rong was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Lord Dong Zhuo's warrant is here, and it is not his subordinates who disobey the order, I'm afraid it is Lord Lu, right?"
Lu Bu's eloquence was naturally far inferior to martial arts, and he paused for a moment, he really didn't know what to say.
can only mess around and say: "With me Lu Fengxian here, how can I get into this pass?"
Xu Rong said: "Then please guard the pass, my subordinates are going to find the Taishi to restore their lives." ”
Lu Bu had no choice but to retreat.
The princes stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass, pursued all the way, and chased them to Luoyang.
In fact, they had a lot of opportunities to catch up with Lu Bu and Xu Rong's rear troops, but in order to preserve their strength, they tacitly let Xu Rong and them run away. After all, the army in Tiger Prison Pass took the initiative to retreat, and the establishment was relatively well preserved, and if it really had to fight hard, it would definitely be bitten off a piece of meat.
They captured Luoyang and achieved good results, so why continue?
Sun Jian entered Luoyang and got the jade seal of the country, and others also had their own gains.
Compared with other princes who wanted to get rich and loot everywhere, Cao Cao at this time was still very simple, and he was bent on rescuing those righteous people who were persecuted by Dong Zhuo, so he ran to the prison as soon as possible. Cao Cao was in the Luoyang Prison, and he gained a Xun Yu with extraordinary bearing and a master.
At this time, Cao Cao's subordinates were the opposite of Fang Xia. With the help of the Xiahou family, he has many generals under his command, but there are very few scribes, and he is really thirsty for talents, especially military advisors. Seeing Xun You's appearance, Cao Cao ignored the thirty-seven twenty-one, stepped forward and said, "Mr. has suffered." ”
Cao Cao had a twelve-point solicitation heart for Xun You, and he really wanted a strategist too much. Fang Xia also wants generals too much, she has no shortage of ministers. If Cao Cao knew that his two future main strategists had been pried away by Fang Xia's prying corner, he didn't know if he would vomit three liters of blood, and then come to her desperately.
Xun You is also very grateful to Cao Cao for rescuing him, otherwise he would not dare to wander around alone.
simply followed Cao Cao to his camp, because Cao Cao didn't mind, Xun You watched a gathering of princes by the way.
From Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes' alliance, to the bottom of the people, they all shouted to withdraw.
The only one who still wants to chase down is Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao is not the leader of the alliance, he can't call the shots, so after Cao Cao and Yuan Shao collapsed, he decided to go on his own.
He went to Xun Yu overnight and asked, "Why did Mr. teach me?"
Xun You came up with some strategies for Cao Cao, and said, "That's it." ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed, feeling that Xun You was really a strategist given to him by God, and immediately wanted Xun You to agree to join his team. Because the two of them have a good relationship and talk very smoothly, Cao Cao thought that this was a sure thing, if Xun You really didn't look down on him, how could he be so dedicated?
As a result, the next moment he was confused.
Xun You was very moved, and then rejected him.
He said to Cao Cao, Meng Degong, you are indeed a rare master, if you meet him before Fang Xia, he will definitely choose Meng Degong, but unfortunately he has already chosen the master, the good minister does not serve the second master, since he has chosen, he will not change again. The previous ones were just him repaying Cao Cao for bringing him out.
Cao Cao received a heartfelt injury and a critical hit, and died.
Although Xun You felt a little guilty, he turned around and ran, ready to go to Fang Xia to repay the grace of saving his life.
After a day of confusion, Cao Cao woke up from the tragedy of the boiled duck flying.
At this time, his mood was like a powder keg, which exploded at one point.
Cao Cao saw that the princes did not want to forge ahead, and after two meetings, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he slapped the table angrily and said, "The erection is not enough and the plan is not enough." ”
He turned around and took up his troops and horses and went in pursuit.
After Lu Bu and Xu Rong's troops reconciled with Dong Zhuo's troops, they thought they were at ease, so they relaxed their vigilance.
In this way, Cao Cao had Xun You's advice, and his pursuit was not only not blocked by Xu Rong as in history, but won a wave, and his morale soared.
However, Cao Cao was not happy, and the more effective Xun You's strategy was, the stronger his strategy was.
And now this strategist, a powerful strategist, has just left him.
When Cao Cao's cousin Cao Hong and Cao Zilian came to him to report the military situation, they saw the bitter gourd face that scared people to death.
Cao Hong was also injured by Yan Zòng.
When Cao Cao saw Cao Hong, he calmed down and said, "Zilian, how is the military situation now?"
