Chapter 231: Dong Zhuo Receives the Letter from Luoyang (I)
Longxian County, Hanyang, Liangzhou, now Ma Chao is the assassin of Liangzhou, and the seat of Liangzhou is in Longxian, and the assassin's mansion is here, so Ma Chao is by his teacher Yan Zhong's side, so he can often go to see his teacher Yan Zhong.
And every time Yan Zhong saw his proud disciple coming, although he never said anything on his lips, he was very happy in his heart. After all, he is still very pleased to have an apprentice who respects his teacher so much. And Ma Chao is his only disciple, he has great achievements, so his face also has light, but no matter how big he is and how famous he is, he Ma Chao will always be his disciple, but this will not change.
And on this day, Wei Ping, who went to Qingzhou, came to Longxian, and it was Ma Chao who specially wrote a letter to Guan Hai to recall him, because the situation at this time needed him very much.
Wei Ping came to see Ma Chao for the first time, and he didn't come alone, there was one besides him.
And after Wei Ping and the man saw Ma Chao, they hurriedly saluted, "Subordinate Wei Ping (Ergou), I have seen the lord!" ”
"Okay, Wei Ping, and Ergou, now it's been many years, you're all okay!"
It was no one else, except for Wei Ping, the person he brought was Ergou, one of the five people who captured Zhang Mancheng alive in Wancheng, and he was also the person who followed Ma Chao from Dunhuang back then. In terms of Ma Chao's memory, he does have some impressions of him, and he has not forgotten it.
Wei Ping smiled when he heard this, "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, Ping is very good in Qingzhou, and the brothers who went with him are also very good." But everyone just misses the lord very much, and I don't know when the lord will be able to take the brothers to fight on the battlefield again, now everyone has nothing to do, all day except training is training, if there is nothing else to do for a long time, everyone will really not be able to stay!! ”
Ergou listened to Ma Chao's words, and his heart was very excited, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for many years, and his father-in-law still remembered that he was a nobody.
"Back to the lord's words, Commander Wei is not bad at all, the brothers think so, and I don't know when the lord will be able to lead the brothers to fight again?"
Wei Ping was in charge of their hundred-man squad, and if he was a position in the army, he was a hundred-man commander. But in Guanhai Cottage, not in the army, so for so many years, Wei Ping's people have called him Commander Wei, and to say that this commander sounds much better than Baichang, so basically everyone acquiesced to this.
Ma Chao nodded after hearing this, "I know what everyone thinks, Wei Ping, Ergou, believe me, that day will not be far away!" Won't I call you back today, sooner or later I will definitely take you to fight the world again!! ”
After Wei Ping listened to what Ma Chao said, his eyes lit up, what his lord said was not to fight on the battlefield, but to fight the world. The world, Wei Ping is very yearning for this. A Liangzhou is already very big, but it can't be compared with the whole world, it can't be compared at all.
As for Ergou, he didn't have Wei Ping's thoughts, he only knew that his lord's guild would take his brothers to fight on the battlefield again, and since the lord said so, then this day would not be far away.
"Peace brothers are looking forward to that day as soon as possible!"
"Lord, the two dogs also know the way, the brothers are all waiting for that day!"
"Good! Believe me, it won't be far! I have come to you today for something important for you to do, and you have to do it! ”
"What's the matter, my lord? No matter whether you go up to the sword mountain or go down to the sea of fire, everything is according to the orders of the lord!! ”
"That's it, the lord said, my second dog is going to the soup and fire, and I will never give up!" Ergou was also not to be outdone at this time.
Ma Chao smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's not that serious, but it's also dangerous!" That is, I want you to ......."
Then, Ma Chao told them everything he wanted Wei Ping to do. Wei Ping and the others nodded while listening, indicating that they both understood.
"So the matter will be left to both of you. And the responsibility on your shoulders is great, and everything depends on you! ”
"No! Please rest assured that Ping will successfully complete the trust of the lord! ”
"My second dog too, don't worry, lord!"
"I believe in you, this matter is none other than you, rest for a few days, and then go, everything will be left to the two of you!"
"Lord, calm down and live up to the trust of the lord!"
"Ergou must do a good job of the main bus generation!"
Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, "I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
"No! Subordinates retire!! The two of them said in unison, and then they retreated.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Si Li, the battlefield of the Han army and the traitors, from the time Liu Hong recalled Zhang Wen and the three of them to Luoyang, only Dong Zhuo was in charge of the whole army, and it was the time when the power was in his hands and his spirit was high. And now from then to now, Dong Zhuo and Han Sui have been facing each other for two years, and during this period, Dong Zhuo is not without the ability to fight Han Sui, but he has always remembered what Li Ru said to him when he was in Luoyang, and Li Ru has always been by his side, so how to do it to get the maximum benefit, Dong Zhuo felt that he naturally had to listen to this strategist.
As for Han Sui's side, he wanted to dismantle Dong Zhuo's army as soon as possible, but it backfired. It was okay when Zhang Wen and the others were there before, after all, Cheng Gongying used a trick at that time, and he also let the traitor win a big victory. But as soon as Zhang Wen and the others were recalled to Luoyang by Liu Hong, Dong Zhuo controlled the army alone, and at this time, Li Ru naturally would not let the Han army repeat the mistakes of the past, so it can be said that the prevention can be said to be leakless, so even Cheng Gongying has nothing to do about it. He has truly seen the power of a top-level strategist, and this is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
So it's not that Han Sui doesn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but they really have nothing to do with the Han army, you say that people don't fight with you, what can you do. And if he really dares to act rashly, then the most reckless may be wiped out, and a careless will bring the army to the place of no return, so in terms of Han Sui's cautious character, there is really no way to be forced to do so, he will definitely not gamble so much, because he knows that he can't afford to lose.
During this period, Han Sui has been looking for a fighter that is beneficial to his side, but this is not so easy, so there has been no good opportunity. Fortunately, his family background is not too small, and there are people who secretly support him, so it has been maintained like this, or the army would have collapsed without a fight in the past two years.
To say that in the past two years, there have been no major wars between the two sides, and there have been small wars, but these are not hurtful at all. Han Sui and they were in a hurry, but it was useless to be anxious, but Cheng Gongying slowly understood Dong Zhuo's intentions. It can be known that the road is the way of the road, so he has nothing to do, Dong Zhuo wants to use himself to fight for his own interests, you know that the other party of the road is not fighting with you for a long time, so it drags on, but what can you do, there is no way. Today's initiative is in the hands of the Han army, not in the hands of one's own.
Dong Zhuo's big tent in the Han army, Dong Zhuo was expressionless after reading a letter from Luoyang, and he didn't know what he was thinking there.
At this time, there were only Dong Zhuo and Li Ru in the big tent, and after a while, Dong Zhuo said: "Wenyou, you can also read this letter!" ”
As he spoke, he put the letter on the desk and waited for Li Ru to take it.
"No!"
Li Ru stood up, came to Dong Zhuo's desk, and picked up the letter from Luoyang. Unfolded a look, his eyebrows moved twice, and he said in his heart, is it a God-given opportunity, the time is ripe? In that case, that's great, God help me, God help me!
"This, I don't know what the lord means?"
Li Ru didn't say anything first, he asked Dong Zhuo first to see what his lord thought.
Dong Zhuo thought about it again, and then said slowly: "If what Zhang Rang said in the letter is good, then Wenyou, our opportunity has finally come!" ”
Li Ru also nodded when he heard this, that's right, the letter was sent by Zhang Rang from Luoyang. To say that Dong Zhuo has been an official for decades, he has bought a lot of eyeliner in Luoyang, from inside the palace to outside the palace, from the court to the market, Dong Zhuo's eyeliner can be said to be a lot. But he didn't expect that this time it was Zhang Rang who was the first to give him a letter. Zhang Rang and Dong Zhuo have some good contacts, every year Dong Zhuo uses a lot of money to bribe the ten permanent servants, but Zhang Rang rarely writes to Dong Zhuo or anything, not once a year, but this time he actually wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, which has to explain the problem.
And in Zhang Rang's handwritten letter, it is very simple, it can be said that it is just a few words. only said two things, the first and most important thing, that is, the emperor, Liu Hong is seriously ill, and it seems that he will not be able to survive. And the second thing is that Zhang Rang asked Dong Zhuo to exterminate the traitor as soon as possible, so that His Majesty could feel at ease. Of course, it is said that it is to make Liu Hong feel at ease, but in fact, Liu Hong is seriously ill, how can he still have the kung fu to care about the traitor, in fact, Zhang Rang wants to make himself feel at ease, so this is why Dong Zhuo quickly exterminated the traitor, the sooner the better.
Zhang Rang didn't think that Dong Zhuo was so capable, so as for why Dong Zhuo didn't act for a long time, he naturally understood it to some extent. However, seeing that he Dong Zhongying was very filial and did not harm his own interests, Zhang Rang didn't say much, but also said a lot of good things for Dong Zhuo openly and secretly in front of Liu Hong. If Dong Zhuo hadn't made any big moves in the past two years, he could still lead the army all the time, and Zhang Rang's help was inseparable here.
Zhang Rang wanted to kill Han Sui and them as soon as possible, but Dong Zhuo didn't make a move, and he couldn't help it. It is impossible to change the commander, and it is not safe. If you want to be the commander of the first army that encircles and suppresses the traitors, then you must have Liu Hong, He Jin and Zhang Rang nod. And up and down in the middle of the court, it can be said that there are not many people who meet such a standard, Dong Zhuo is counted as one, and Ma Chao can also be counted as one. But Ma Chao was very good as a assassin in Liangzhou, and naturally no one was looking for him at this time, so no one was more suitable than Dong Zhuo.
