Chapter 407: Two Letters to Luoyang
"Eh, it seems that I forgot to ask him if he told Shi Ah this secret......" It wasn't until he took back the saber that Liu Tao remembered this question.
I didn't dwell too much on it, after all, in general, it was handled according to 'just take it as it was'. In fact, it doesn't make sense to tell or not, even if Shi Ah comes forward now and tells the so-called 'truth', who will believe it?
Liu Tao, a relative of the Han family, secretly went to Luoyang and then killed the two princes. If you want to believe this kind of rumor, it is better to believe Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao.
"It's better not to move at this time. The villain dies because he talks too much, and the villain will also do too many superfluous things and eventually reveal his flaws. Liu Tao laughed at himself, he didn't expect that one day, he would think about the problem as a villain. Sure enough, you still can't do bad things......
He has nothing to worry about, if he dares to do such a thing, then he will naturally have the consciousness of being the enemy of the whole world.
But then again, it's really in the era of separation, who can be considered a friend and who can be regarded as an enemy. There is no friendship between forces at all, only pure interests.
"By the way, I don't know if the letter sent to Luoyang has arrived?" Liu Tao suddenly remembered the letter sent three days ago.
It was because Cao Cao was likely to be subdued, so he wrote him a letter. In addition, he also wrote a letter to Jia Xu, if he remembers correctly, he should be serving as the captain of Pingjin at present, and then promoted to the captain of the school.
Now the one who is serving as the captain is Ma Riyan, and the only thing that is uncertain is whether Jia Xu has joined Niu Fu's command.
According to the express mail, it should also be sent to Luoyang, but I don't know what the two of them think......
Walked out of the camp tent, summoned the recruits of the Jinyi Guard to come and pack up, and left directly.
Before leaving, he glanced back slightly. The legendary hero Wang Yue actually died so aggrieved, somewhat emotional. However, in history, after Wang Yue entered Beijing after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, there was no news. I only know that his follow-up disciple Shi Ah was Cao Pi's swordsmanship teacher on Cao Cao's side, and that's it.
Seriously, it is precisely because of this relationship that Wang Yue's name appeared for the first time in Cao Pi's "Classics". Otherwise, it is estimated that no one knows that during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was still such a hero.
"It's a pity that in this world, you still have to be unknown." Liu Tao muttered, then turned to leave.
On the third day of Liu Tao's assassination, two letters were sent to Luoyang. Although the situation here is very tense, Dong Zhuo is self-proclaimed prime minister, and at the same time controls the government and barely maintains a certain order.
Just look at the pedestrians on the streets of Luoyang, they all look in a hurry, and they go out more and enter less, so you know the changes in Luoyang.
"That merger state pastor will actually recruit me, an unknown person?" Jia Xu is still in the army, perhaps because things are a year ahead of schedule, and he is still only a lieutenant of Pingjin.
But it is true to find a suitable eaves to hide, Ma Riyan's house is big, and it is difficult to say whether to give him shelter from the wind and rain.
"I see, after Zhang Cang, he is currently working as Ji Cao under him...... I haven't heard of this position before, could it be that Liu Deran set it up himself? That's right, this person has already 'tried' several things before, and it is not surprising to 'try' another Ji Cao to engage in it. Jia Xu looked at the letter.
Jia Xu is from Wuwei Jia's family, his ancestor is Jia Yi, and Jia Yi studied under Zhang Cang, and the fate of Jia's and Zhang's began here.
However, the Changshan Zhang family, strictly speaking, can only be regarded as Zhang Cang's relatives. After Zhang Cang's career, he also left a lot of family learning for the clansmen, and the blood relationship is still there, but the descendants of Zhang Cang's lineage have actually migrated to Anding County.
Besides, the love of the ancestors cannot be counted on their descendants. However, because of this relationship, it is not surprising that Liu Tao knows about his existence.
"It's just strange...... Jia Xu looked at the letter carefully, it was clear that the Jia family had no contact with Changshan Zhang's family, why did this letter seem to be very familiar with his character between the lines?
Not only promised to allow him to show his strengths, but also promised that no matter what the situation, it would be the safest. Could it be that Liu Tao investigated him privately? But he obviously didn't feel that he was being watched.
But what does this letter say...... The heart is definitely heartbeat, but the feeling of being watched all the time is so strange. Or rather, it's uncomfortable!
"It's a pity that Jia doesn't fit in, this feeling of having no secrets at all in front of others." Jia Xu finally put the letter away, and then pretended not to see it.
He may not mind that others know some of his 'secrets', but the feeling of completely exposing the secret or something makes him very insecure.
Liu Tao may not know that he thinks that the words that 'can move Jia Xu the most' have the opposite effect. But then again, if he clearly admires his talent and wants to recruit Jia Xu, will he come?
This thing was Schrödinger's cat from the beginning, and there is no accurate answer to what the outcome was.
At the same time, Cao Cao's side also received a letter.
Liu Tao knew him, and when he was rewarded for the Yellow Turban, he met at that time. From the white body to the general of the feather forest in one fell swoop, and then released as the Taishou in the clouds.
In just four years, he has fought against the Hu people many times, won many battles, and is a rising star among the clansmen. However, it gives people a strange feeling, that is, his rise is too fast, and he can accurately grasp a certain opportunity every time, and then develop quickly.
What's even more bizarre is the battle damage of his subordinates, in the face of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops, casualties rarely exceed 1,000. There are vague rumors in the market that Liu Tao is a child of the fairy family, although everyone laughs at this, they probably still care about it very much.
Now such a person hopes that he will give up the idea of assassinating Dong Zhuo, and then leave Luoyang and go to the state to help him.
The letter also mentioned that Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc., these are all good talents, so they might as well be called to Bingzhou together. Liu Tao did not hide his ambitions at all, only said that he planned to rejuvenate the Yan Han San, and asked Cao Cao or Han Chen?
At the same time, he promised that if the world was decided, the Western Regions would be reopened. When the time comes, he will be named the general of the expedition to the west, open up the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty, and even expedition outside the territory, and establish immortal achievements.
"The question is, how did he know that I was going to assassinate Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao looked at the dagger in his hand, the blade of this dagger was inlaid with seven gems, so it was also called the Seven Star Knife, the Seven Treasure Knife.
After the failure of Yuan Shaoxing's assassination, Dong Zhuo's suppression of scholars was further increased, and at the same time, he remained vigilant against every scholar. So when he went to Wang Yun's side for a banquet, the latter complained a few words with the help of drunkenness and asked who could assassinate Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao expressed his position at that time, and the latter praised Cao Cao's courage and gave him this knife.
"It looks like the matter is revealed, I need to leave quickly!" Cao Cao didn't care so much, so he abandoned his official position and left Luoyang that night.
