Chapter 22: After the Turmoil

Although the coup d'Γ©tat launched by Yang Feng was suppressed by Dong Zhuojun in just half a day, the losses caused to Luoyang City were huge, nearly 10,000 innocent people died tragically under the butcher's knife, more than 5,000 houses were destroyed in the war, tens of thousands of people were homeless, and half of Luoyang City was reduced to ruins. At night, the entire city of Luoyang fell into a miserable wind and rain, and there were cries calling for children and daughters everywhere.

Kang Peng went into battle with injuries, and then fell unconscious, and he was anxious about Dong Zhuojun's civil and military affairs, and several of the most famous Lang Zhong in Luoyang City were "invited" by the Dong brothers to Dong Zhuo's Mansion to diagnose and treat Kang Peng, but fortunately, the results came out quickly, and those famous Lang Zhong unanimously judged that Kang Peng was in a coma because of blood loss and excessive nervousness, and he only needed to rest more, and he would definitely be fine.

Dong Zhuojun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next aftermath work was enough for them to have a headache, especially Kang Peng's order to treat refugees well, among Dong Zhuojun, there were the biggest differences of opinion, Li Ru, Chen Gong and Gao Shun and others had to abide by Kang Peng's order to relieve the name, but Lu Bu and Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals were resolutely opposed, on the grounds that most of the material savings of the Xiliang Army had been consumed after the Battle of Tiger Pass, and now they would take it out for relief, what if there was another big war? The two sides insisted on their own opinions and disputes, and in the end, Jia Xu came out to play a round and put forward a bad idea, and the relief grain was 'happy to lose' by the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the scholars near Luoyang, which made both sides happy.

The poor scholars have just been 'bought' by Dong Zhuo, and they already hate Dong Zhuo to the core, but now Dong Zhuo has passed on the loss of the mud legs to them, asking them to 'voluntarily donate' the food they have saved, and they really don't bully them to the extreme, although they are cursing Dong Thief in their hearts, but under Dong Zhuojun's bright butcher's knife, the scholars still obediently take out the life-saving food to 'happy to lose'. Following the forced purchase of land, the scholars of Luoyang began a new round of fleeing, and at the same time, they also spread the 'bad' reputation of Dong Zhuo's heavy people and light soldiers to all over the country......

After more than a day of busyness, the food problem of the refugees was finally solved, and several of Kang Peng's advisers learned from the pain, and gathered Dong Zhuo's army and civil and military forces in Dong Zhuo's mansion to discuss the gains and losses of this Yang Feng coup. Also, who were those who read the proclamation to the people? Why don't you catch them? ”

Dong Chong's face was flushed, because the eldest brother finally woke up that night, he was relieved that he went to accompany the eleventh concubine, and let his subordinates touch the fish, he didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Dong Chong muttered: "It was my fault that night, although I arrested a few people who read the proclamation the next day, but after inquiry, they are all children of the Shi clan, and they only read it when they have nothing to watch, so I let them go." ”

Jia Xu still didn't give up, "Yang Feng secretly mobilized the army so much, how can you not know it?" These things, I hope that Dong Duwei can give Taishi an explanation after Taishi wakes up, otherwise you will know Taishi's temper Dong Duwei. ”

Dong Chong's face turned white with fright, although he was Dong Zhuo's own brother, but Dong Boss started the fire regardless of whether he was a brother or not. Dong Chongchao hugged his fist at Jia Xu, "Mr. save me, I know it's wrong, please give me advice." ”

Jia Xu sighed, "Do your best, from now on, Dong Duwei, you must strengthen the night ban in Luoyang City, especially to closely monitor the entry and exit of the mansions of the ministers in Luoyang." Dong Chong hurriedly agreed.

After teaching Dong Chong a lesson, Jia Xu pointed the finger at the generals of the army again, "You are really, you always bully the central army in ordinary times, and you don't want to think about it, they are also the same as you, even if there is a small holiday, just endure one step, but you have forced them to the point of mutiny." ”

The other generals all lowered their heads, only Lu Bu was not convinced, "Those chaotic ministers and thieves, even if they are killed, so as not to worry about keeping them." ”

At this time, a gong-like voice sounded outside the door, "Fengxian my son, Wen He said that you are right." The door was pushed open, and Zhao Yun and Xiu'er helped Dong Zhuo to walk in.

"Big brother." "Taishi." Seeing that Kang Peng woke up, Dong Zhuojun was overjoyed and came up to salute one after another, Kang Peng smiled and agreed one by one, beckoning them to sit down.

"Bong-first." Kang Peng also sat down, "Mr. Wenhe is reasonable, we want to eliminate the Central Army just by raising our hands, can we use this method, you have also seen, how big is the loss of Luoyang City this time?" Kang Peng woke up in the afternoon, he did not inform his subordinates, but asked Zhao Yun to report the battle report and the incident to himself, after listening to Zhao Yun's report, Kang Peng also regretted it, as a modern person, he actually forgot the importance of intelligence, relying on Dong Zhuojun's military strength, put all his energy on the development of internal affairs, it was really stupid.

Probably only Dong Zhuo scolded Lu Bu in the world, and Lu Bu didn't dare not listen, especially after Dong Zhuo intentionally matched Lu Bu and Diao Chan, although Lu Bu hadn't gotten his hands on Diao Chan yet, it was enough to make Lu Bu grateful inexplicably, so Lu Bu lowered his head and didn't reply a word.

After a few words of Lu Bu, Kang Peng's tone changed again, "But this time you also have a good performance, you can actually see through the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and rush back to the rescue in time, which can be regarded as progress." Hearing his father-in-law's praise, Lu Bu grinned, wanting to laugh but not daring to let go.

Jia Xu also echoed: "Yes, Wen Hou can have this performance, and he is also blessed by the Taishi." Kang Peng and Jia Xu boasted, Lu Bu couldn't help but be proud anymore, and finally laughed out loud. Kang Peng and Jia Xu also looked at each other and smiled, knowing in their hearts that this time was indeed thanks to this reckless man, if Kang Peng was not unconscious at that time, he would definitely have sent Xiliang Tieqi to search for those who posted the notice, so as to prevent the rumors from spreading more and more, no one would dare to return in a hurry at that time, and it is difficult to say whether the coup d'Γ©tat launched by Yang Feng could be successfully suppressed.

Li Ru said: "Taishi, this time we have more than 100,000 prisoners of the Central Army, as well as Yang Fengyi's family and servants, what do you think should be done?" Li Ru added with a sad face, "Release the prisoners of the princes, buy farm tools and plough cattle in the fields, our army's financial resources are already very tight, don't be soft." ”

Kang Peng smiled, "Of course, Yang Feng's party and his family members are to be executed, and those captives go to identify the people, and those who have blood on their hands and ** people's daughters are also executed." Forget about their servants and dispose of them with the rest of the captives, didn't Yang Fengjun burn down the people's houses? Let them build houses for the people, and tell them that everything will be built before the winter, and they will be released when they are finished, otherwise they will all be killed, and I will keep them all in the house. ”

Li Ru was overjoyed, "The master is clever, so there will be no shortage of manpower to rebuild Luoyang, as for the cost of materials, it should be barely enough to use Yang Feng's party to confiscate them." ”

Kang Peng saw Dong Chong cowering and wanted to say something, Kang Peng smiled and said: "Second brother, you are at fault this time, I will punish you for demotion, can you be convinced?" Dong Chong was overjoyed, "Only demote me to the official, big brother, don't you whip me?" Kang Peng smiled and nodded, and Dong Chong immediately cheered, "It's best to be the eldest brother, and the brother promises that this will never happen again in the future." ”

Kang Peng thought for a while, "You all go down, so that you can appease the people, rectify the military horses, and stay with Xianjia and Wenhe." Everyone left, Zhao Yun and Xiu'er knew that Kang Peng had confidential matters to confess, so they also went out with everyone, and only Kang Peng, Li Ru and Jia Xu were left in the room.

"I left you behind for two things, one is the matter of Princess Anyang, how should I deal with it? Second, will there be anyone behind Yang Feng's rebellion this time? Kang Peng asked straight to the point.

Jia Xu shook the folding fan, "Princess Anyang's affairs are easy to do, the key is whether the princess is reluctant to give up the son in the princess's arms?" Kang Peng raised his middle finger at Jia Xu in his heart, and said in his heart that it was really poisonous enough, and he didn't care about the princess's life or death, he only saw the wild seed of Boss Dong.

It is rare for Li Ru to be kind, "Father-in-law, you have a daughter and no children, I am afraid of great changes in the future, it is better for your father-in-law to include the princess in the back room, you can marry with the royal family, and control the government in the future, if Princess Anyang can give birth to a son for you, your father-in-law will also be regarded as a successor." ”

Kang Peng nodded, "It's okay, tomorrow you will find a respected minister to propose a marriage for the prime minister." Kang Peng thought to himself that although the princess was the woman that Boss Dong had been with, it could be seen from Xiu'er that Boss Dong's vision of women was not bad, and that princess should not be ugly there, and I didn't suffer too much.

Jia Xu and Li Ru agreed together, and Jia Xu asked, "Taishi, do you suspect that Yang Feng's rebellion was provoked by someone behind his back?" ”

Kang Peng sighed, "Yang Feng is timid and weak by nature, if he wants to rebel, it is the best opportunity when Benxiang leads the army to fight, why doesn't he rebel at that time, and he has to wait for Benxiang to come back with his troops before defecting?" ”

Jia Xu and Li Ru glanced at each other, this is exactly what they couldn't understand, Jia Xu said softly: "Another point, where did Yang Feng learn about what the Taishi did in the palace, and used these to incite the people and divert our army?" ”

The three of them frowned and thought for a long time, but they never thought of the reason why Yang Feng was forced to rebel, although Kang Peng also thought of Lu Bu's killing of Yang Feng's nephew, but as soon as he brought it up, he was vetoed by Jia Xu and Li Ru, and they all agreed that Yang Feng was cowardly and selfish, and it was impossible to risk his own head for the sake of his nephew.

Just when Kang Peng wanted to give up, Li Ru suddenly said: "Father-in-law, I have been so busy in the past two days that I have forgotten an important matter, my father-in-law ordered me to monitor Situ Wang Yun's house, and the person I sent reported to me the morning before yesterday, that is, countless 'slander' notices to your father-in-law, saying that I saw Wang Yun leave Luoyang City in a hurry that morning, and I heard that I was going to visit relatives, and I didn't pay ......attention because I was busy dealing with the notices."

Before Li Ru finished speaking, Kang Peng had already stood up, "Then did Wang Yun go to Yang Feng's house before leaving?" ”

Li Ru was inexplicable, "No." Kang Peng asked again, "Are you sure?" Li Ru nodded, "The few people sent by the junior son-in-law are all experienced and experienced, so they will definitely not be mistaken." ”

Kang Peng had to sit down in disappointment, and said in his heart, isn't it Wang Yun's ghost? At this time, Jia Xu asked, "Xianjia, have the people you sent to spy on those ministers?" Also, Wang Yun's mansion has been built for more than 20 years, are you sure that there is a secret passage in Wang Yun's mansion leading to the outer street? ”

Li Ru's mouse face turned white, he already understood what Jia Xu meant, the few people he sent had monitored Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, and those people were very close to Wang Yun when they were in Luoyang, and it was impossible for Wang Yun not to notice them.

Seeing Li Ru's face, Kang Peng couldn't understand, "Send someone to find it immediately, and if you find it, you will say that the prime minister asked him to go back to Luoyang to discuss the matter of Diao Chan, if he doesn't come back, kill!" ”

……

There is a small town dozens of miles away from Luoyang City, the town is not big, only more than five or six hundred households, it belongs to the kind of town that is very common in the north. There are no big households in this town, and the only big house is empty all the year round, and I heard that it is the outer residence of a big official in the capital, and the residents of the town dare not enter it. However, since yesterday at noon, people have been coming and going from this perennially empty house from time to time.

Wang Yun is now living in this mansion with an ordinary appearance and a luxurious interior, waiting for the eyeliner arranged in Luoyang to come one after another, but unfortunately all he is waiting for is bad news.

"Tell your lord, Lu Bu has already led the army to leave Luoyang, and Yang Feng has begun to move."

"Luoyang City caught fire, and Lu Bu suddenly turned back halfway for some reason."

"The sound of killing in Luoyang City is shocking, and Lu Bujun's army has already entered the city."

"It is rumored that Yang Bong is dead......"

At this moment, Wang Yun listened to the news from the last eyeliner, "The four gates of Luoyang City are under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Wang Yun had to sit down disappointed, saying that Yang Feng still failed.

"Uncle don't be sad, General Yang sacrificed his life for the country." Wei Zhongdao comforted Wang Yun and said, "But uncle, aren't you safe and sound?" Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, uncle, we still have a chance. ”

Eunuch Feng's brother also came over to comfort him, and Feng Bin said, "Gongzi Wei is right, Situ doesn't have to be too sad. Feng Guo added, "Our two brothers have never been back to their hometown since they entered the palace, and now they finally come out once, and they want to take a leave of absence from Lord Situ and go back to their hometown to see." ”

Wang Yunna didn't know that these two eunuchs didn't want to slip away when they saw the situation, Wang Yun's heart was on fire, and he said that eunuchs are eunuchs, and they are really unreliable! When Wang Yun was about to call someone to kill the two eunuchs, a servant hurriedly ran in, "Master, there are two literati outside who ask to see them, and one of them claims to have a relationship with you, Master." ”

Wang Yun yelled angrily: "Who is it? What for? ”

"The man called himself Xun Yuzi Wenruo, and the other was called Guo Jiazi Fengxiao, saying that he came to Luoyang to participate in the Confucian Lin Literary Conference. Sir, do you see it or not? ”
