Chapter 60: Niu Fu's Invitation

The appearance of Qin Hua did not change much in this era, and most of the things happened as scheduled.

Therefore, Qin Hua is still very sure in his heart, as long as the course of history is not much different from what he knows, then he can respond accordingly to these things.

July of the second year of the first peace

Qin Hua suddenly received a letter, signed by Zhonglang General Niu Fu.

"Ushisuke?"

After reading the letter, Qin Hua was a little puzzled why Niu Fu wrote to him, and he also invited himself to Chang'an for a small gathering.

"Isn't he replacing Dong Zhuo to win himself over? Or does Dong Zhuo want to trick himself into going to Chang'an and then get rid of himself? ”

After thinking about it all morning, Qin Hua still didn't understand the meaning of Niu Fu's letter, so he invited Jia Xu, who was dealing with things in the pastoral mansion at this time, to his mansion.

"That's what the lord said?"

Jia Xu looked at Qin Hua suspiciously after reading the letter.

"Do you know the meaning of Niu Fu's letter?"

When Qin Hua saw Jia Xu's appearance, he knew that he had understood, so he hurriedly asked.

Although Qin Hua now owns most of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and he also has 100,000 armor under his command, Liangzhou and Bingzhou are sparsely populated, and a series of measures taken by Qin Hua in Liangzhou have only begun to bear fruit, and his strength at this time is still unable to compete with Dong Zhuo.

If there is any intention for him, he still needs to plan early, in case Dong Zhuo strikes first, then Qin Hua will be very passive, he doesn't want Liangzhou, which he has been running for a long time, to be invaded by the flames of war.

"The lord doesn't have to mind, Niu Fu came here to write just to win over the lord."

"Woo me?"

Qin Hua asked a little puzzled, Niu Fu is just Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, just a general, and the troops under his command are only thirty or forty thousand, and the troops under Dong Zhuo's command are scattered in the hands of Guo Yan, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Niu Fu, why does he want to win himself over?

"Didn't the lord read the Nighthawk's report? Dong Zhuo's eldest son died early, and the rest of the heirs are still babbling. ”

"You're saying that Ushisuke wants..."

Qin Hua's words were not finished, but Jia Xu understood what Qin Hua wanted to say, and immediately nodded.

After understanding Niu Fu's intentions, Qin Hua's heart immediately settled down a lot.

To be honest, Qin Hua knew very little about Niu Fu, he only knew that not long after Dong Zhuo's death, Niu Fu also died, but he didn't know what happened to him, and who killed Niu Fu.

"That Wenhe thinks, should I go to Chang'an?"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said to Qin Hua: "I think that the lord should go to Chang'an, there are many great and virtuous people in Chang'an City, and now Liangzhou is lacking these talents, if the lord can bring some talents in Chang'an, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to Liangzhou." ”

Qin Hua also knew that all the civil and military officials of the imperial court were coerced by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, and there were indeed many capable people among them, such as the three bigwigs who exterminated the Yellow Turban, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun. and his father-in-law, who is also his teacher Cai Yong.

Qin Hua knew that after Dong Zhuo perished, Cai Yong would be implicated by Dong Zhuo and die, whether it was for Cai Yan or for the original owner of his body, Qin Hua had to find a way to save Cai Yong's life.

"I am going to Chang'an at this time, do I have to worry about my life?"

This is actually what Qin Hua is most worried about, if he rushes to Chang'an, in case Dong Zhuo sees that he is not pleasing to his eyes, then there is really nowhere to redress his grievances, and it is not easy to lay the current foundation, if he is arrested and his previous efforts are wasted, then the gains outweigh the losses.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I don't want to be evil with the lord. Now although Liangzhou's strength is not as good as Dong Zhuo's, it is by no means weak and bulliful, I think Dong Zhuo must not be willing to go to war with Liangzhou easily. ”

Although Jia Xu had already said so, Qin Hua was still not at ease, although he was strong in force, he was not arrogant enough to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops alone.

"If the lord is still not at ease, you can ask the imperial court to make a marquis for Lord Qin Huang, as long as Liangzhou still has the backbone, then Dong Zhuo will inevitably have some scruples. If Dong Zhuo agrees, the lord can also go to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor in the name of Shane. ”

"So let's follow what the text says."

On the same day, Qin Hua sent a letter asking the court to canonize his father Qin Huang to the imperial court.

For Qin Huang, a person who did not have the slightest fame or merit, the imperial court actually agreed, which shows that the Han court at this time has no rights, and everything depends on Dong Zhuo.

The imperial court canonized Qin Huang as "Xuanhou", and the fief was near Chang'an.

Originally, Dong Zhuo didn't have any idea about canonizing his son-in-law's father's title, but compared to Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo was more optimistic about Qin Hua.

He also lived in Liangzhou, whether it was the Qiang people or the Xianbei people and other foreign Hu, it was a big trouble in Liangzhou, but since Qin Hua served as the pastor of Liangzhou, it was almost rare to hear that Liangzhou was attacked and disturbed by the Hu people, and I heard that he also reopened the Silk Road and re-established the Western Regions Protectorate, which made Dong Zhuo very surprised.

However, Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo: "Since you want to knight Qin Hua's father, why not seal his fief near Chang'an, so that you can be more assured that Qin Hua is in Liangzhou." ”

Letting Qin Hua's relatives come to Chang'an as a hostage is a very common method, although Dong Zhuo also admires Qin Hua, but he also approves of Li Ru's suggestion.

If Qin Hua didn't want to be his enemy, then there was nothing wrong with sending his father to Chang'an, and he would treat this father-in-law well, so he had the appointment above.

After receiving the edict from the imperial court, Qin Hua really wanted to go to Chang'an in person this time.

He didn't want his old father to be held hostage by Dong Zhuo, but he knew that Dong Zhuo's demise was imminent, and there would be a big chaos in Chang'an in the past two years, in case his only relative died in the Chang'an Rebellion, then he could really slaughter Chang'an like Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou.

But if he didn't let his father go to Chang'an, he was afraid of arousing Dong Zhuo's suspicions, so he really had to go to Chang'an in person this time, first, to pay tribute to Emperor Xie Xian, and secondly, to explain to Dong Zhuo why his father couldn't go to the fiefdom.

Packing up and taking a large number of treasure war horses, Qin Hua was ready to leave for Chang'an.

kissed goodbye to his wives and concubines one by one, and when it was Xiu'er's turn, Xiu'er handed him a letter without a signature, but Qin Hua knew that it must be a letter written by Wang Yun.

On the way to Chang'an, Qin Hua opened Wang Yun's letter, which didn't write much, just asked Qin Hua to go to his mansion to sit after coming to Chang'an.

Of course, Qin Hua knew that Wang Yun wanted to kill Dong Zhuo with him, but how could Qin Hua agree.

In case of failure, then Liangzhou will inevitably suffer the wrath of Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Liaojun, who went to Hanzhong by way, will inevitably face Dong Zhuo and Zhang Lu's two-sided attack, and even if Liangzhou can be preserved, its strength will inevitably be greatly damaged.

However, Wang Yun is Xiu'er's father-in-law after all, Qin Hua finally decided to find an opportunity to meet him after arriving in Chang'an, and find a way to let Wang Yun focus on Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu complete the matter of killing Dong Zhuo, and wait until Chang'an is in turmoil, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.
