Chapter 345 Embarrassment
"Sikong, Shao implores Sikong to send troops quickly to defeat Dong Zhuo, Shao is willing to act as Sikong's vanguard and attack Luoyang City. Sikong, Shao couldn't wait, Dong Zhuo, the old thief, actually sent someone to raid the Yuan family in Luoyang City, destroyed the Yuan family, especially killed Shao's uncle Kui, and confiscated all the wealth and inheritance of the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo old thief, this revenge is not a gentleman, I, Yuan Shao, have a deep blood feud with you, and I don't share the sky, so I ask Sikong to help me. β
It turned out that Dong Zhuo brought the Yuan family's lair in Luoyang City, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't think it was surprising when he heard this, your Yuan family's eldest son Yuan Shao and sister-in-law Yuan Shu had already led troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and they didn't let Dong Zhuo free up his hands to clean up the Yuan family in Luoyang City?
Is Dong Zhuo really an idiot? If you don't kill Yuan Kui and other people of the Yuan clan at this time, will Dong Zhuo wake up until the big war is together and Yuan Kui and Yuan Shaoli should join forces?
Dong Zhuo is not stupid, this bit of military commonplace, he has long seen it through, if he kills Yuan Kui, he can also make a windfall to replenish military funds, and by the way, he will deter those old foxes in Luoyang City who are ready to move, like Yuan Kui, they can kill more birds with one stone, why not do it?
Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kui was happy, but Yuan Shao was uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.
Yuan Shu has already led the troops back, and the responsibility for Yuan Kui's death naturally does not fall on Yuan Shu's head, so Yuan Shao can only be left alone.
The reason why Yuan Shao stayed outside Luoyang City was that in addition to wanting to eat meat after Cheng Yuanzhi, he also thought that once he invaded Luoyang City, he would be recognized by Yuan Kui and others, so that the voice of support for Yuan Shao in the Yuan clan would become higher and higher, and maybe it would only be a matter of time before Yuan Shu was overthrown.
If Yuan Shao's performance is not recognized by the Yuan family, then Yuan Shao, the eldest son, wants to be a foil for Yuan Shu, and it is difficult to be the green leaves of safflower.
Now, Yuan Shao is obviously messed up, the Yuan clan forces in the entire Luoyang City have been uprooted by Dong Zhuo, the Yuan clan's people have been killed, the Yuan clan's money and food are gone, and both people and money are empty.
If Yuan Shao is still indifferent and does not avenge Yuan Kui and the Yuan family in Luoyang, then Yuan Shao's reputation will plummet, and it will be difficult to compete and compete with Yuan Shu, at least Yuan Shu will not let go of this opportunity to discredit Yuan Shao.
Cheng Yuanzhi didn't have much touch on Yuan Kui's death, after all, the dead and poor Dao is not a dead Taoist, what does Yuan's life and death have to do with Cheng Yuanzhi, but Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, Cheng Yuanzhi is quite interested, Cheng Yuanzhi is not short of pioneers, but Yuan Shao took the initiative to send it to the door, of course Cheng Yuanzhi was willing, but I just heard Guo Jia say that the time to storm the capital Luoyang has not yet come, and Yuan Shao has to be stabilized.
Cheng Yuanzhi thought about the wording in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to start fooling Yuan Shao and said with a smile:
"Humph! Dong Zhuo, an old thief, actually did such a shameless act, which is really condemned by everyone. Don't be in a hurry at the beginning, the goal of this Sikong and the original is the same, I came to Luoyang, isn't what I did to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Since Ben Zheng is brave to move forward, dare to take responsibility, and serve as a pioneer, then Ben Sikong is naturally not willing to lag behind, and he will have to compete with Dong Zhuo again. It's just that at the beginning, you also saw the capital Luoyang, which is not comparable to ordinary counties, the city wall is high, the defenders on the city wall are afraid that there are tens of thousands, and the Xiliang iron cavalry in the city is as high as 100,000. β
Cheng Yuanzhi didn't say that he wouldn't fight, but he didn't say that he wanted to fight, but persuaded Yuan Shao to continue to wait, anyway, until Guo Jia felt that it was feasible, then the matter would be fine.
However, Cheng Yuanzhi could wait, but Yuan Shao couldn't afford to wait, Yuan Shao heard Cheng Yuanzhi's excuse, and suddenly became anxious, and he couldn't care about hiding Cheng Yuanzhi, so he told more news and said:
"Sikong, please also raise troops quickly, if Sikong does not move, Luoyang City will be a plate of scattered sand, and it will be difficult to form a joint force to crusade against Dong Zhuo. And once Sikong attacks the city, Dong Zhuo has to deal with it, and then some of the grass on the wall of the rudder will fall to our side and respond to Dong. Sikong doesn't have to worry, although Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry has many soldiers and strong horses, it is already the end of the strong crossbow. Cao Cao and Cao Mengde in Luoyang City sent a message to me, saying that it was Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and Wen Hou LΓΌ Bu had broken with Dong Zhuo, and the war between the state army and the Xiliang army was about to break out. β
And Cao Cao will also choose the right time to attack, so Shao implored Sikong to immediately send troops to attack Luoyang, Shao is willing to be the vanguard, and the power of Sikong is effective. Sikong, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, Dong Zhuo has no Lu Bu, it is equivalent to a tiger without teeth, the eagle has broken wings, it is a good time for us to attack, missed this opportunity, people's hearts are scattered, and the matter of discussing Dong is far away. β
Yuan Shao received Cao Cao's secret letter, and originally wanted not to tell Cheng Yuanzhi, so as to encourage Cheng Yuanzhi to send troops, but unfortunately Cheng Yuanzhi was unmoved, Yuan Shao had to sacrifice a killer weapon and told Cheng Yuanzhi the content of Cao Cao's letter.
Dong Zhuo broke with Lu Bu, which was big news. In fact, although Dong Zhuo has a lot of soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo goes straight and straight, and he has no martial arts, but he is easy to clean up, on the contrary, Lu Bu is a fierce general, Cheng Yuanzhi and Yuan Shaoke are much more afraid.
Now, Lu Bu is in the camp of the Zhuhou army, and if he doesn't make a move at such a good time, then the Zhuhou army really has no hope.
Cheng Yuanzhi didn't expect that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's personal relationship was so deep, Cao Cao not only assassinated Dong Zhuo from time to time in Luoyang City, adding blockage to Dong Zhuo, but also closely contacted Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao could always understand Dong Zhuo, so as to find the right time to send troops.
This Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are really a raccoon dog, embarrassed.
Cheng Yuanzhi temporarily put aside the temptation provided by Yuan Shao, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and seemed to ask Guo Jia in his eyes:
"Fengxiao, Yuan Shao, this guy has given a lot of dry goods, can he do it now? Yuan Shao is willing to be a pioneer, be cannon fodder, and test the depth of Dong Zhuo, if he doesn't agree to Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will jump back like Yuan Shu, and go alone from me. β
Guo Jia and Cheng Yuanzhi have always had a good heart, and there is no need for Cheng Yuanzhi to ask, Guo Jia already knows Cheng Yuanzhi's worries.
In Guo Jia's opinion, Yuan Shao's death and Lu Bu's betrayal of Dong Zhuo were not enough for Cheng Yuanzhi to send troops to attack Luoyang, after all, these may be Dong Zhuo's strategies, and he still has to be cautious.
If Cheng Yuanzhi really wants to send troops, it depends on Cao Cao and Sun Jian. And Yuan Shao also said just now that Cao Cao will not be the first person to eat crabs, he will only hide behind his back, waiting for Cheng Yuanzhi and Yuan Shao, the army of candidates to fight with Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao will jump out, otherwise why would Cao Cao send a message to Yuan Shao and do it directly, wouldn't it be better?
Guo Jia was about to shake his head at Cheng Yuanzhi and ask Cheng Yuanzhi to refuse Yuan Shao's request, how could he be so sloppy and regard sending troops as child's play?
