Chapter 304: Coercing the Son of Heaven to serve the Son of Heaven
"Right now, Dong Zhuo is holding the Son of Heaven hostage and moving the capital to Chang'an City; The Kwantung coalition forces withdraw their troops to the east, or it won't be long before they will attack and kill each other! ”
"According to today's general trend, you think...... How long can Dong Zhuoshang hold on? ”
Li Mu looked around at everyone, and then asked. Now, because of Li Mu's butterfly effect, many things have deviated from historical time. Therefore, Li Mu is not sure how long Dong Zhuo can hold on.
"Now, Dong Zhuo's soldiers can fight...... However, there are only 100,000 people, and its sphere of influence is only Chang'an City, Hongnong County, Zuo Fengyi, and Jingzhaoyin! ”
"Moreover, Dong Zhuo tyrannized the world, from the Son of Heaven to the people of Chang'an City, all of them were heartbroken, and their momentum could not last for a long time!"
"As far as you can see, even if you don't have to send troops from the lord, at least half a year, or at most a year, Dong Zhuo will definitely be defeated and killed!"
Xu Shu thought about it for a while, and had a plan in his heart, and immediately replied.
"What the military advisor said is very true!"
Deng Zhi took over the conversation and added: "In addition to what the military advisor said, the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command may already show signs of falling apart!" Naturally, the momentum can no longer linger! ”
"What the military advisor and Bo Miao said is exactly what we think!"
Zhang Liao, Li Hui, Zhang Ji, Fu Ji, and Cheng Gongying seconded.
"If Dong Zhuo is defeated, the Son of Heaven will be saved!"
After listening to everyone's words, Cai Yong was overjoyed, and said in a solemn voice.
"No!"
Xu Shu did not agree with Cai Yong's opinion, and immediately analyzed: "Even if Dong Zhuo is defeated, the generals under his command ...... Not all of them died in battle. At that time, it is unknown whether there will be a second 'Dong Zhuo'! ”
"Yuan Zhi's concerns are reasonable!"
Cai Yong nodded thoughtfully, and then said in a deep voice: "But...... If Dingguo can send troops to Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo's remnants are not to be afraid! At that time, Dingguo will report to the Son of Heaven and sweep away the military disaster, and it is expected to help protect the Han family and pacify the world! ”
Li Mu was stunned and thought: Although Cai Yong recognizes that he is the lord. However, Cai Yong's ultimate idea is to continue the Han Zuo, not to overthrow the Liu family!
"According to what you say......"
Li Mu slowly looked around at everyone again, and then said slowly: "In the future, there are three paths for us to choose. First, the Son of Heaven is not subordinate to orders. Second, coerce the Son of Heaven and order the princes. ”
"That being the case, Dingguo can 'serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey'!"
As soon as Li Mu's voice fell, Cai Yong immediately replied.
"The third way of the lord is ......"
Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, Deng Zhi, Li Hui, Zhang Ji, Fu Yan, and Cheng Gongying glanced at each other secretly. Xu Shu groaned.
"Force the Son of Heaven to leave Chang'an and go east to the Central Plains."
Li Mu glanced at Cai Yong, hesitated for a few breaths, and then said in a deep voice: "At that time, naturally someone will welcome the Son of Heaven, and I will wait to enter Chang'an and Luoyang City, according to the west of the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
"Big brother!"
Zhang Liao has followed Li Mu for the longest time, and naturally understands Li Mu best, so he immediately stood up and said with a solemn face: "The third brother thinks that the third way is the most appropriate!" ”
"Dingguo can have today's achievements, and the kindness of the first emperor cannot be forgotten; Your Majesty's Long Grace cannot be ignored! ”
"If Dingguo does something rebellious, I am afraid that it will greatly lose the popularity of the people in the world!"
"I think that the first way is ...... As a subordinate...... The path you should have chosen! ”
Of course, Cai Yong could see that Li Mu had no intention of being the 'Zhongxing Huchen' of the Han Dynasty, but he still wanted to fight for it.
Li Mu's face sank, his eyes closed slightly, and he looked at Cai Yong fixedly, but he didn't refute it out loud!
"What everyone Cai said...... There is some truth to it! ”
Deng Zhi saw that his father-in-law was angry, and hurriedly broke the embarrassing atmosphere and said with a smile; "'Dynasty change' has existed since ancient times! Gaozu's world is not from ancient times, but also from Qin! ”
Deng Zhi said a few words, and the meaning in his heart was very clear. Since the Liu family can win the world, then a virtuous person with his surname can also win the world!
Cai Yong was naturally clear, and immediately snorted coldly and stopped talking.
"As a subordinate, we are naturally to share the worries and doubts of the master, and An can have two hearts and do his best?"
"What Dong Zhuo did is the second way, and the lord is naturally not a choice!"
"The first way seems to be the work of loyal ministers, but it is actually the second way...... Different means to the same end!
There are two reasons for this.
First, if the lord is weak, the minister is strong. The lord has no name, but he cannot dominate the world, and the courtiers must take his place. Wang Mang is a precedent!
Second, high merit will shake the Lord. If the Lord can tolerate it, he will give in to his subordinates after a long time; The lord cannot tolerate it, and the courtiers will naturally not yield, and at that time, the country will be in turmoil, war will arise again, and the lives will be ruined not far away! ”
"I think what Wen Yuan said is the most appropriate!"
Xu Shu's first sentence was naturally said to Cai Yong. Xu Shu saw that Cai Yong was still silent, so he told the words that he had prepared a long time ago.
In fact, Xu Shu's words all came from Li Mu.
It turned out that in response to the question of how to choose between the three roads and where Liangzhou will go in the future. Before Li Mu returned to Liangzhou, he had already discussed with Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Jiang Wei and others. The end result is to choose the third way!
"Those who are in a position of superiority are indispensable for scheming, and open-mindedness is also indispensable!"
"Rather than doing the thing that threatens the Son of Heaven after a long time, it is better to choose first. In other days, the people of the world can also bear it safely! ”
"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! The lord does not have to hesitate, but take the third way! ”
As soon as Xu Shu's words fell, Deng Zhi immediately stood up, bowed down, and said in a deep voice.
"We will second what Wen Yuan, the military advisor, and Bo Miao said! Please don't hesitate! ”
Li Hui, Zhang Ji, Fu Ji, and Cheng Gongying immediately got up and came to the center of the hall, and said solemnly with a sincere expression.
"What you say is exactly what I want!"
Li Mu also stood up, looked around at the crowd, and said conclusively: "When the time is ripe, I will wait for the troops to be closed!" ”
"The lord is wise!"
Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, and Deng Zhi replied in unison.
"The old decay feels unwell, so retire first!"
Cai Yong also knew that his efforts were in vain, and he didn't feel much loss in his heart. It's just that his son-in-law didn't come to give him a step, which made Cai Yong very embarrassed. Cai Yong had to say goodbye and leave!
"What an old stubborn!"
At this time, if you want to say that Li Mu is not angry in his heart, it must be false. Li Mu looked at Cai Yong, who was gradually moving away, and said with a smile.
Everyone still respects Cai Yong very much, and they just laughed and joked.
"Don't be angry, lord!"
After a while, Xu Shu said with relief: "Cai is a great Confucian today, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch and the country is naturally deep-rooted!" Later, my relatives will go to Cai's house and enlighten and enlighten everyone, Cai's everyone can understand! ”
"Then it's troublesome!" Li Mu replied with a smile.
Seeing that it was noon, Li Mu told everyone to disperse!
