The conscience of heaven and earth, in order to ensure their absolute neutrality, transcendent posture.

When He Jin's soft ears tossed the question of "whether to let Dong Zhuo enter Beijing" several times, Li Su did not pay any attention to it, nor did he let himself appear in the field of vision of He Jin's conspiracy circle.

How Yuan Shao and Cao Cao persuaded He Jin respectively, Li Su didn't have a chance to hear a word, but I think it is similar to what is written in Romance and Three Kingdoms.

However, after all, he lived in the capital for more than ten days, and watched coldly in the name of talking about marriage with the Zhen family and helping his teacher sort out the classics by the way, which made him more or less see the whole picture of the whole incident, and also had a more flesh-and-blood understanding of the relevant parties.

On "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing, he seemed to ignore it, until He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and there was no resistance and twists and turns in the middle, just like an NPC.

But after Li Su witnessed the observation, he still saw a lot of flesh-and-blood struggles of He Jin - on August 12, when Dong Zhuo arrived at Michi, He Jin sent the waiter to stop him, telling Dong Zhuo to wait and not act rashly.

Dong Zhuo didn't come up directly, but waited for a day or two, and complained again to make various excuses before breaking into Gucheng.

Then on August 15, He Jin sent Shao to reprimand him for the second time, this time the words were even sharper, and finally deterred Dong Zhuo, and made him stop on the outskirts of Gucheng, the last neighboring county west of Luoyang, which was still twenty or thirty miles away from Luoyang City, and stopped for several days, and did not dare to move again until August 18.

It can be seen that He Jin is not a purely face-painted retarded mind, and during the whole process, he still struggled when he found that the situation was a little wrong.

It's just that in the process of struggling, He Jin saw that Dong Zhuo was persuaded to dare not enter Gucheng County again, and he became arrogant again, feeling that all the situation was under his control, and what Chen Lin said, "holding a sharp blade in his hand, giving people a handle, this way to take chaos" does not exist!

Who said that Dong Zhuo is a tiger wolf and can eat people? If I didn't let him stop fifty miles west of Luoyang, he would have to stop fifty miles away from the city, and if he stopped twenty miles away from the city, he would stop twenty miles, it's easy to control!

The previous Ding Yuan was not bowed down? Maybe it's these foreign soldiers who are checking and balancing each other.

With this kind of thinking, He Jin's actions also slightly deviated from the same period in history.

On 19 August, on the fourth day of Dong Zhuo's thousands of elite troops stationed in the eastern suburbs of Gucheng, some new gossip reached Luoyang, saying that Dong Zhuo's main infantry force in Hedong had begun to increase its troops for the second time, preparing to reinforce the former army that had arrived in Yin, Henan. The excuse is that the front army came in a hurry, there is not enough food and grass, and the rear team is not a combat unit, but a "food" for the front army, so He Jin has no excuse for wanting Dong Zhuo's rear team to retreat.

This is not surprising, because Dong Zhuo did the same in history. It's just that the abolition of the emperor was too fast in history, so before the follow-up troops arrived, the abolition was over, and it did not play a substantive role in the first wave of operations.

He Jin saw Dong Zhuo's posture of "the front army does not dare to enter, waiting for reinforcements from the rear army", and his heart was furious again, afraid that he would not be able to control it after the scale of the foreign soldiers in a certain town finally reached a certain level.

He Jin didn't have any other way, so he wanted to simply imitate the old routine of letting Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan restrain each other before, and thought of other foreign soldiers near the Beijing Division.

On August 20, when Li Su was writing a book in Lantai, he was suddenly summoned by He Jin and immediately rushed to the general's mansion.

Li Su had a hunch in his heart, feeling that something was going to happen, but he couldn't think of what it was, so he had to be cautious.

Cai Yan was also terrified, and he had to be careful when he secretly took care of him when he parted.

After arriving at the place, Li Su found that it was still the old three staff: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chen Lin.

Of course, compared to the previous few times Li Sulai, there was one less Bao Xin - Bao Xin was sent out by He Jin only this month to recruit troops in the area of Chen Liu, and asked him to bring them back to Beijing immediately after recruiting new soldiers. Now that I think about it, it must also be because the scale of Dong Zhuo's troops entering Beijing is expanding, so He Jin also kept a hand and wanted Bao Xin to help him expand his lineage.

No one in this world is an NPC who sits idly by, and there is more or less a bit of brains and operations. While He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's opinions, he was also trying to fine-tune and mend the shortcomings of Yuan Shao's strategy.

"The last general, Li Su, meet the general."

After Li Su saluted, He Jin lowered his posture with some courtesy: "Excuse me, Li Zhonglang, I heard that you brought five hundred guards into Beijing?" ”

Li Su was taken aback, and denied it sternly: "Why did the general say this!" The last general's command, are the cavalry under the general of Zhengxi, in order to calm the chaos of the thieves on the mediocre road, they have to fight and walk to dredge, and they have to bring so many people as a last resort, and the Han waterway is inconvenient to go against the current.

The last general was well aware that foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter Beijing unless they were called, so he only brought 30 personal guards with him, and the 500 cavalry were still outside Yique Pass. As for the remaining 2,500 people, they are even more far away in Luyang, and the general may have misremembered. ”

He Jin waved his hand indifferently, as if he didn't care much about these righteous names, just stared at the military factor and asked: "That is, there are 3,000 people, are they all combatable soldiers?" ”

Li Su: "They are all Youzhou elite horsemen who have followed the general of Zhengxi for three years, all of them are white horses, and they are skilled in bow horses. ”

He Jin touched his unkempt beard: "Tomorrow, I will make up for your summons and transfer your five hundred cavalry guards into the city first." Then move the 2,500 people in Luyang to the outside of Yique Pass. ”

Li Su was shocked when he heard this, Luyang is two hundred miles away from Luoyang in a straight line, and it is the northernmost county of Nanyang County. But Yique Pass is only fifty miles away from Luoyang, and at that time, Dong Zhuo, who is only twenty miles away from the city, will be thirty miles away from the city.

That's too much suspicion, and it won't be seen as a rebellion, right?

And the point is, will it affect the progress of history too much?

All Li Su's layouts in the past few years have been based on "the collapse of the credit of the imperial court center to this point".

To put it bluntly, if you follow the logic of officialdom for a few more years, Liu Bei's camp will drag down the finances with just the cost of raising soldiers and buying officials to renew their leases in peacetime.

Li Su had no choice but to persuade first: "General, I don't know what to do with calling our army...... Instructions? Since ancient times, foreign soldiers have entered Beijing, and it is best not to enter if they can, so as not to provoke suspicion. General Zhengxi has always been loyal and righteous, and has never had the heart to use soldiers to Ling Jing, these soldiers and horses are just temporarily received by me on his behalf......"

He Jin was stunned when he heard this, on the one hand, he sighed that Liu Bei was so pedantic and loyal, but on the other hand, he was also a little unhappy.

It is an unpleasantness to be dissuaded from having one's own authority.

"Know Liu Bei's loyalty! No need to stress it. I am a general, do I still use a reason to dispatch soldiers and horses from all over the world? Do you think that foreign soldiers have a bad reputation, okay, let Ding Yuan and Zhang Zhang incorporate your soldiers tomorrow, and they will be the Beijing army from now on, so you won't be suspicious, right? ”

When He Jin said such things, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao felt that they were going to suffer, and hurriedly dissuaded them together: "The general can't be!" The generals in other towns, how can all the soldiers and horses they lead be prepared for the money and grain of the imperial court?

I heard that the general of Zhengxi raised his own money, food, soldiers and horses in order to protect the war, and the scale of soldiers and horses exceeded the standard, these cavalry may be self-raised, and the general wants to use it, or borrow land. ”

Only then did He Jin react, he was in a hurry, and he wanted to knock the other party, but he went too far.

"Requisitioning private soldiers from the generals' own pockets" is a taboo of the times. That is equivalent to denying the validity of the edict that "ordered the local government to raise its own troops and horses to garrison" when Zhongping began to ask for the Yellow Turban in the first year, and turned it into a landlord armed force that the imperial court could arbitrarily annex at its own expense, which was to be resisted by all the families and Haoqiang.

If you want to use someone else's soldiers to carry out a mission, you can do it, but you also have to recognize the ownership of other people's soldiers, and you can't directly change the owner.

Therefore, even if Yuan Shao and Liu Bei can't get along, He Jin must refute this kind of thing.

Li Su also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that He Jin's angry words were in the past, and hurriedly gave a step down: "General, I don't think it's as good as this, the general wants to use us, because he can afford us, I know that Lu Shangshu is the mentor of General Zhengxi, and he is one of the three important ministers of the imperial court, and he is familiar with the situation of the Beijing Division."

It's better to do this, my 500 cavalry, after being sent into the city tomorrow, will be handed over to Lu Shangshu for temporary command, until I return to Yizhou to resume my life, withdraw the soldiers and horses from Luoyang, and I will take it back. The remaining 2,500 people, as long as they don't enter the Yique Pass, I will temporarily receive, if the general wants to use it, the cavalry of fifty miles can enter the city in two hours, before entering the city, I will temporarily hand over the command to Lu Shangshu outside the city, and if I don't enter the city, I won't hand it over, how about it? ”

Li Su's hand can be regarded as depicting Liu Bei's benevolence and his loyalty to the extreme: as long as he enters the city, he will give Lu Zhi command! But when I'm leaving, these people are going to take me with me!

In this way, I believe that Dong Zhuo will not be forced to carry it with him, but most of the time he will slow down.

In history, Dong Zhuo's follow-up troops from Hedong did not play a role originally, but this time, it is estimated that it will play a role. If you want to depose the emperor three days after entering the city, it is estimated that it is impossible, and you must spend more energy to find an excuse to transfer other armed forces in Beijing, or to divide and win over.

If Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops arrived to fight hard with Li Su, then Li Su would definitely not be able to rely on 3,000 people alone, and when the time came, he would desperately take the initiative to find a way to say that he wanted to return to Yizhou to carry out the mission!

Anyway, the mission edict has already arrived, he just asked for personal leave and didn't leave for the time being, and it is difficult for others to say that he escaped from the battle.

How can Feng Zhao make an escape?

He Jin didn't understand the twists and turns at all, he was just very pleased: "Okay! Li Zhonglang is worthy of knowing the destiny of heaven, and knows that the Han Dynasty will have thousands of years of history, so he is very loyal to the imperial court, and he can even think of a wonderful method to avoid suspicion when he enters and exits the city, and he will hand it over to Lu Zigan to avoid suspicion, okay, I will fulfill you. In the future, after all the foreign soldiers disperse back to their original station, I will give you and Liu Bei a higher reward - definitely more than for Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan! ”

Li Su's expression was sincere and grateful, but there was no wave in his heart: Do you think you can live to send this reward?

It's eventful.

However, Li Su's kick at the door also had to be fine-tuned a little.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao glanced at each other in disbelief: Why are these Liu Bei and Li Su so loyal? Bilu Zhihuang Fu Song is definitely not bad.
