Chapter 323: The Situation of the Giant Deer
After Gongsun Du surrendered Chu Yan and raised more than 300 people, he rested for one night and continued to move south.
Subsequently, they encountered more than ten thousand yellow turbans, more than 10,000 and less than 1,000, all of which were broken, and they were all surrendered, and more than 30,000 prisoners were captured. Seven hundred people, and more than three hundred people before, combined into one, 1,000 people, with Chu Yan as the other Sima, Sun Qing and Du Chang as Qu Chang, leaning as the forward, and reaching Julu.
Along the way, Chu Yan and the others finally understood that Gongsun Du's previous words that the Yellow Turban would eventually be destroyed by him were true.
Everywhere they passed, the Yellow Turbans only knew how to loot and destroy, which was even worse than when they were Xianbei. Leaving behind some people who did not want to follow the yellow turbans, holding the empty clay pot of rice, lying on the ground full of yellow soil and empty land, looking at the almost collapsed houses and crying silently, their eyes were full of despair!
But Gongsun Du did not give up on anyone, and would leave several days of food in each place for them to go to Liaodong together.
Chu Yan and the three of them admired this very much, and even expressed their willingness to help Gongsun Du overthrow the imperial court from time to time. But every time at this time, Gongsun Du was smiling and silent.
And to the giant deer.
Gongsun Du did not go to join the imperial army, because before that, he received news that a person who made him feel pain in the egg appeared.
Just two days before the arrival of Gongsun Du's army, Lu Zhi embarked on the old road of history and was escorted back to Luoyang, and Dong Fatzi, who took over, arrived in Julu last night.
As expected, tomorrow Dong Fatzi will attack the city according to his orders!
"Let someone else do it!"
Gongsun Du smiled coldly and asked the army to camp in a hidden valley north of Julu City, and at the same time sent people to Boluojin and other key roads east of Julu to wait for Xu Rong and the others.
Not to mention this, but to say that in the evening of that day, after Dong Zhuo completely took over the power of the army, he summoned his son-in-law Li Ru and asked, "Son-in-law, should we attack the city directly tomorrow?" ”
Li Ru looked at the desire in Dong Zhuo's eyes that seemed to engulf everything, smiled bitterly in his heart, and replied: "Does the lord want this world, or this great achievement now?" ”
"What do you mean by this?" Dong Zhuo felt that his brain was a little insufficient, so he rubbed his hands and shouted, "If the virtuous son-in-law has something to say, it is that you and my son-in-law are not outsiders." ”
Li Ru nodded silently on his face, and said, "If the lord wants to achieve great things, he shouldn't want this hot work at the moment." ”
"Hot hands? Our hands are not afraid of being hot! Dong Zhuofa said.
Li Ru suddenly felt a headache, and said helplessly: "How does the lord think he compares to Lu Zhonglang?" ”
"Lu Zhi's old horseman?"
Dong Zhuo smiled obscenely on his face and said, "Just that old horseman, our family can capture him alive with one hand." ”
Li Ru rolled his eyes and said: "Lu Zhonglang is not only a great Confucian at home, but also a brother with Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, and Hua Xin, who are great Confucians at home, and they are the representatives of Qingliu today. If the lord defeated Zhang Jiao, wouldn't he be even more powerful than Lu Zhonglang? In this way, what do these fellow disciples of Lu Zhonglang think? What do those ministers and Confucians who are also Qingliu think? ”
"This is not good for the great cause of the lord!"
The people Li Ru said were all famous Confucians at the moment, and Dong Zhuo was also a little shocked, and it was not enough to be frightened.
Dong is fat, he is naturally bold!
"Then is it impossible for our family to be imprisoned like Lu Lao Pifu?" Dong Zhuo was a little dissatisfied when he thought of Lu Zhi's fate.
Li Ru said: "Confucianism just said that this great merit should not be obtained, but the small merit is not among them, if you can't get the credit, how can the lord achieve great things." ”
"Our family thinks you scribes are sour! Extra sour! ”
Dong Zhuoman didn't care and said: "Can you say something that our family can understand, and can you say it directly?" ”
Li Ru originally wanted to guide Dong Zhuo to think about these things and prepare for the future. I have to say that Li Ru does have extraordinary abilities and a long-term vision. But Dong Zhuo's posture really disappointed him, but as Dong Zhuo said, the two are Weng sons-in-law, grasshoppers on a rope, even if they are disappointed, they must continue.
After straightening his clothes, Li Ru said: "My lord, from tomorrow, I will send people to attack the city every day, and then report to the imperial court every two days." All we have to do is ......"
Li Ru said a lot, Dong Zhuo understood it as soon as he heard it, and he was very happy.
"Okay, that's it! It's just that what if the imperial army loses too much? ”
"The more elite the imperial court loses, isn't it just convenient for the lord to achieve great things? It's just that if it is too much, the loss of three to fifty percent must be stopped, as for the rest, use the rest of the righteous army, didn't you hear that Lu Zhonglang's disciples are also here, it just so happens that the disciples in order to save the teacher, they will attack the city with all their might, and atone for their sins! ”
"How many people will be left in the end depends on when the court will reward the lord."
"Hahaha, good! Good! Good! Wen You is really our family's ovary, good! ”
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was so happy, Li Ru couldn't help but pour cold water: "Lord, there are still many generals in the army who are committed to Lu Zhonglang, and they will inevitably fall short in the end, Confucianism suggests that the lord immediately send someone to pay bribes to Zhang Rang and others, and the more the better!" ”
"This ......"
Hearing that he was going to give a gift, Dong Zhuo's face ached. I don't know if the fat in his body is just because he is too greedy!
"Lord, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf! If this plan can be realized, why not get more gold, silver and jewelry! Li Ru sighed speechlessly in his heart and persuaded.
"That'...... All right! ”
Dong Zhuo was not stupid, after thinking about it, he agreed, but he was still a little reluctant, but secretly decided that after this plan succeeded, he must get it back.
An unprecedented looting of the people's fat and ointment is about to begin soon! I don't know how many bones will be buried underneath!
With Li Ru's wisdom, he couldn't have thought of this, but he turned a blind eye, even if it had a lot to do with him.
Following.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu received Dong Zhuo's order and had to lead their troops to attack the city with a bitter face. It can be seen that Liu Bei is really not a good stubble.
On the other hand, Gongsun Du was quite interested in Liu Bei and Guan Yu's appearance here, originally he thought that after his participation, Liu Bei, who had not made great achievements, could not reach Julu so quickly, so he had to be behind him.
Gossip aside, Liu Bei didn't want to lose too many twists and turns, so he sent some disobedient to him, as well as the Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered along the way, to attack the city in turn......
With Liu Bei as an example, some other generals and rebels were also sent in turn, and there were countless losses. As a result, some of the rebels were annexed, and the number of officers and troops of Julu plummeted.
Dong Zhuo didn't care about this, and two days later, he reported the victory to the imperial court according to his words, saying that he had killed more than 10,000 enemies and the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses.
After two days, Zhang Jiao also understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but he didn't mean to expose it, and it would be good for him to be able to kill more officers and soldiers.
In this way, the two people with the most significant ambitions in the late Han Dynasty attacked and defended so tacitly. After more than ten days, Dong Zhuo reported to the imperial court one after another, and all of them killed Wan Yunyun, but there was no news of the broken city.
So Liu Hong, under the instigation of Zhang Rang and others, who had gained benefits, ordered a change of generals again.
Zhang Rang's reason is quite good -
"Dong Zhuo is no more than a reckless man in the mountains and fields, and he can still attack and kill so many Yellow Turban Army, which shows that Lu Zigan harbors evil intentions and his heart is towards the Yellow Turbans. If Your Majesty wants to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible, if you send another general to replace Dong Zhuo, the ministers who want to come to the court will be more powerful than the reckless man in the mountains, the giant deer will definitely fall overnight, and the Yellow Turban Army will be wiped out in a few days, and Your Majesty will be able to sit back and relax! ”
These words are just an introduction, the most important thing is that Zhang Rang came up with the idea of asking the ministers of the DPRK and China to pay to buy the order to replace Dong Zhuo, and making money is what he Liu Hong is concerned about.
