Chapter 705: Dong Zhuo's Choice
Chang'an City, Taishifu.
At the first court meeting of the year, Taishi Dong Zhuo rejected Situ Wang Yun's proposal to Shi Sun Rui as the leader of Jinwu on the spot, and the Son of Heaven did not dare to say a word on the side, and the Manchu Dynasty was silent and silent.
Nowadays, the large and small concerts in the court are basically sent to the Taishi first, and then reported to the court by the Taishifu.
The Taishi Mansion is undoubtedly a small imperial court.
This small imperial court, with Dong Zhuo as the main body and Li Ru as the prime minister, is being carefully managed.
It's not like history.
Historically, Dong Zhuo's control of the imperial court was directly suppressed by force, which was unpopular at all, but now, he followed the example of Mushan back then, established the Taishi system, and won the hearts of the people step by step, and it was a slow elevation of the power of the Son of Heaven above the court.
They are all in power, but the means are different, and the influence they bring is different.
Today's name of Dong Taishi is more or less popular.
"My lord, the secret report of Hanzhong!"
"Hehe, Mulong Tu really sent troops?"
Dong Zhuo has been in a good mood recently, he has been in a good mood recently, he can sleep peacefully, he has already grown fat, compared to the previous majesty, now he is quite a little fat, he squinted his small eyes: "I thought that Mu Longtu was just a bluff, but I didn't expect that he was doing his best to attack Jingzhou, and he couldn't see through it!" ”
"Judging by Hanzhong's secret report!"
Li Ru stood beside him, pondered for a while, and arched his hand and said: "Mu Longtu has already put the Jingping Army, the Violent Bear Army, and tens of thousands of main forces under the command of Mu Jun in Jingzhou, and it is undeniable to fight Jingzhou, but he deliberately fought Jingzhou, whether it caters to Liu Yan or has other plans, it is self-evident!" ”
A cold light flashed across his eyes: "I think that he may not necessarily cater to Liu Yan, he should have a plan!" ”
"This is a little fox!" Dong Zhuo said coldly: "It's also a little madman, it's much more difficult to deal with than Mu Yuanzhong back then, let him escape from Guanzhong back then, it's really a tiger to return to the mountain, this Taishi has suffered too much in the hands of his Mu clan, if there is a chance, this Tianshi now wants to wave his troops in Hanzhong, directly level his Minghou Mansion, and directly strangle this danger, otherwise a certain family is really afraid that he will grow up, so that a certain family will have trouble sleeping!" ”
When he heard that the main force of the pastoral army had gone to Jingzhou, he really had the urge to send troops, so he said so.
Mu Jing is a thorn in his eye, and if he doesn't pull it out for a day, he will feel uncomfortable.
If he could, he would rather give up some interests, and also cut Mu Jing off the horse, so that he could sleep peacefully.
"If the lord wants to wave his troops in Hanzhong, it is not without a chance!"
Li Ru said softly: "But this will be a little contrary to the strategic deployment that we spent a year preparing to arrange last year, we have been planning for so long in order to get out of the customs, and we must not fall short, the weight of the two states of Henan and Yan is heavier than Mount Tai, and the Central Plains is the world!" ”
"But back then, the deployment of the Qiang Qin to sweep the Six Kingdoms, Bashu was before the Kanto!"
The silent Lu Bu spoke.
Lu Bu rarely speaks at this kind of meeting, but he has spoken more recently, but he will interject two sentences in all government and military affairs.
In the battle of the annexation of the state, he made great achievements, was named Wenhou by the imperial court, and was crowned the general of the hussars.
The more he was in a high position, the more cautious he became, not as impulsive as he was on the battlefield, and recently he had begun to read, he had also read before, only military books, and now he would read Confucianism and history books.
In the fight and merger, as an old general of the state, he drove straight in, large and small, gathered countless generals, so that his state army grew rapidly, under the command of today's Taishi Mansion, the state army has the possibility of standing side by side with the Xiliang army.
As the head of the Bingzhou Army, he has to make a difference, so he has learned so much and performed better in front of Dong Zhuo.
So he will deliberately behave: "Now that Bashu is not peaceful, Hanzhong is in trouble, we gather the main force, the troops go out of Guanzhong, the rear is a little unstable, and the court may not be of the same mind with us, if the war does not go well, wouldn't it give Yizhou a chance, in addition, there is no granary of Bashu Mansion to rely on, no matter how strong the elite of Xiliang and Zhou, only with the granary of Guanzhong, how to support the Kanto War!" ”
"What does Feng Xian mean, take Bashu first?"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was a little impressed by Lu Bu, he valued this righteous son very much, and on the battlefield, this righteous son was a natural god of war, and he relied on it invincestibly, which made him consider Lu Bu's suggestion.
"The Yizhou Army, the Guanzhong Herding Army, the main force has entered Jingzhou, at this moment, taking Bashu is a God-given opportunity!" Lu Bu nodded, he thought it was a good time to go south.
"Wen Wei, what do you think?"
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, staring at Li Ru with his eyes.
Taishifu can also be regarded as a talented person, but it is undeniable that there is only one person he trusts the most, and that is Li Ru.
There used to be another one, which was Ushisuke.
However, Niu Fu and the tens of thousands of flying bear cavalry under his command were burned by Mu Jing, and there was not a single one left.
If a person wants to trust someone, it is not an overnight thing, not to mention a suspicious hero like Dong Zhuo, he trusts Li Ru and Niu Fu because these two people followed him step by step when he had nothing, and they were also his son-in-law, son-in-law and half-son, and his son can always believe it.
But it's hard for outsiders to say.
Even if Lu Bu is accepted as a righteous son, it is only an expedient measure, not sincere, it is nothing more than a woo, so naturally he will not absolutely trust.
"What Wen Hou said is very true, this is indeed an opportunity!"
Li Ru is neither humble nor arrogant, he will never come to blow the face of the fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, he respects these fierce generals very much, including Lu Bu, Lu Bu's fierceness, invincible on the battlefield, but it is not a casual talk, and the battle of the state is vividly expressed.
So he is also very face-saving to Lu Bu, and he will go around in circles when he speaks.
He replied: "But we can't trust Mu Longtu too much, this may not be a trap, Mu Longtu's mind has always been treacherous and difficult to guess, we have suffered many times in their hands, and he fought Jingzhou so hard this time, the main force of swaggering south, for fear that the whole world will not know, maybe it is to lure us, if it is to dig a pit for us?" ”
"You don't agree to go south?" Dong Zhuo squinted.
"It's not that I disagree!"
Li Ru shook his head: "And there is no need for them to change the strategic deployment we have deployed for more than a year, in order to hide the traces of the Guanzhong army of Huangfu Song, we have paid too much, and although the main force of the pastoral army is going south, there is still a battalion in Hanzhong, they want to defend Hanzhong, we want to go south quickly, it is also very difficult, once the war is stuck, forced to withdraw the Yizhou army and the Hanzhong herdsman army from Jingzhou, for our Chang'an, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”
He smiled: "In fact, at this time, Yizhou and Hanzhong herdsmen fought Jingzhou, which is a good thing for us, the harder they fight, the easier it will be for us, how can Jingzhou Liu Biao be so easy to deal with, it is best that they can lose both, which also allows us to let go of the defense of the south, transfer the main force of Chen Cang out of the Kanto, and strive to ensure the victory of the Kanto Campaign, seize the two states of Yu and Yan, so as to cover the influence of the imperial court all over the world!" ”
In fact, fighting Hanzhong at this time is not a good choice for Chang'an.
Chang'an is ready to go east.
It is irrational to suddenly change the direction of the march of hundreds of thousands of troops for the sake of one Hanzhong, and all the preparations made in front will be burned.
Lu Bu was silent, he just said what he wanted to say, as for whether Dong Zhuo would adopt his words, he didn't care, performance was performance, he just didn't want to make himself nameless, but now he wouldn't be too prominent, let alone look strong, because it would make Dong Zhuo disgusted.
"If you can, for a certain person, the danger of the Mulong Diagram is still above Cao Cao Yuanshu!"
Dong Zhuo said softly: "On that day, he killed my beloved general and burned my flying bear cavalry, but it was a common enemy, if I don't kill him, I won't be able to sleep for a day!" ”
He paused, and his tone flipped: "However, he is not worthy of letting a certain change the deployment of the entire army for the sake of one person, since he wants to fight with Jingzhou to the death, then a certain will also follow him, just right, Chen Cang's army, can be sent to the east!" ”
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, his burly body exuding this breath of non-anger and self-authority: "The world is in chaos, the people have no place to live, and they are displaced, all for the fault of the imperial court. ”
After all, he put aside the grievances with the four of Mujing, and set his target in Kanto and Yanzhou, Yuzhou.
The two prefectures of Henan and Yan are the hinterland of the Central Plains.
If you get it, you will set the world.
