Chapter 21 But there is no evil in the teachings
In other words, the battle between Jia Xu and Lu Bu is nothing more than burning the camp, beheading the generals, breaking the enemy, and surrendering the crowd from a tactical point of view. Refine a little more and win the four words.
And in terms of the direct result of the battle, it was just the defeat of the closest person to Luoyang among the nearly forty princes of Dong, that is, the soldiers and horses of Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang were destroyed in the first battle, and by the way, he rode to the face of Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, to show off his might.
However, in terms of subsequent impact, the shock of this battle to the world is not at all directly expressed by words.
Because this battle is the first real 'official battle' with a political position since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the establishment of the three major alliances against Dong in Hebei, Guandong, and Xu Yang, and the merger of the princes of the world!
Gongsun Xun raised the fastest army, and the scale of the war seemed to be the largest, but what is the difference between fighting a group of Xiongnu people in northern Shaanxi who are begging for a living in Shanxi and suppressing bandits and thieves? As for the next attack on Jinyang, killing Taishou Yang Zhong, and Sun Jian's previous attack on Jingzhou Thorn Shi and Nanyang Taishou for Yuan Shu, it is actually more like an internal political purge by taking advantage of the general trend, and it cannot be called a serious war.
Only this time, a night raid between the Dong coalition army and Dong Zhuo's army, which was clearly showing the carriages and horses, undoubtedly announced the arrival of the troubled army war!
From today, the princes are divided, the warlords are fighting, and it is officially opened!
Speaking of which, because he planned this battle, Cao Cao on the other side of the sour jujube was shocked and called a chaotic force, and Jia Xu, who is famous all over the world, is actually well-deserved!
In a sense, it was indeed this Jia Wenhe who made an unprecedented move.
Of course, in the final analysis, Jia Wenhe just happened to be at the right time.
People who really understand know that the world has come to this point step by step, first of all, there is a problem at the root of the country, but it falls into the whirlpool of political games, and then slides into the abyss step by step; Secondly, if you really want to choose a person responsible for the current situation, Gongsun Xun scolded Dong Xun very clearly in the article, that is, Emperor Han Ling, the only husband who did evil; And in the end, even if it is the word 'chaotic force', it is Dong Zhuo's use of pure force and violence to tear off the last fig leaf in the Han world...... What does it have to do with Jia Wenhe?
Jia Xu, as the lieutenant of Xiaopingjin, was originally ordered to scold Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang, is this his own job? The so-called person is at most a pioneer of the times.
Cao Cao has always had small eyes and a big mouth, and he is used to talking big, so he forced people to be charged with indiscriminate force.
But then again, no matter what, this battle was too beautiful, too intense, and too brilliant!
Jia Xu's speculation on the mentality of the two opponents, Lu Bu's courage and invincibility, and the five thousand iron cavalry armed with the Luoyang arsenal, were invincible overnight...... Coupled with the stage effect of Henan and Hanoi, the center of the world, it is difficult not to shake the world!
In this regard, Dong Zhuo, who has always rewarded and punished clearly, will naturally not be indifferent, and when the Spring Festival is the first day of the New Year, when the imperial court changes the Yuan Dynasty, Jia Xu and Lu Bu were indeed recalled to Luoyang, and then they were greatly rewarded!
Among them, Lu Bu was named General Huwei and Wenhou.
To be honest, this reward made Lu Bu extremely satisfied and excited, thinking that he was a Zhonglang general before, but this time he was an official miscellaneous general, and even the second general among the officers in the entire Dong Zhuo camp, second only to Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min's Zuo general, and higher than Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu's Zhonglang general, so what else do you want?
As for Wen Hou, it is even more remarkable, even far beyond Lu Bu's imagination.
After all, Lu Bu was the Marquis of Duting before, and he was actually a very outstanding title, because at that time, only the two brothers Dong Zhuo and Dong Min themselves were named Marquis, and now Marquis Wen directly skipped the previous Marquis of Pavilion and was promoted to the top of the Marquis, that is, at the level of the County Marquis, how could he not like it?
One more thing to say here, the Wen of Wen Hou is not the Wen of warm wine, but the Wen of Wen County, Hanoi. Using Wen County as a fief shows Dong Zhuo's praise, because the inner side of the Sanjin River of the Yellow River, where Lu Bu showed his might, belongs to Wen County. Not only that, Wen County has always been the top county in Hanoi, and the Sima family, Yang family, Chang family, and Zhao family in Hanoi are all famous ethnic groups...... The right-hand men under the command of Gongsun Xun, from Yuyang Taishouchang Lin to Wang Xiang, who relied on horses, were all from Wen County.
All in all, Lu Bu is truly grateful.
As for Jia Xu, he only changed from a lieutenant to a lieutenant, barely promoted by half a level, and he had no knighthood...... This is not the result of Dong Zhuo's unfair rewards and punishments, but the result of Jia Xu himself deliberately shirking and pushing the credit to Lu Bu.
"So, you don't want to accept the title?"
In the middle of the lobby of Xiangguo's Mansion, Dong Zhuo sat alone on a large Taiwei chair, while many court officials and subordinates around him just sat on the mat, and it seemed that Dong Xiangguo was much taller than the people around him.
"Xuzhi is not here." Jia Xu bowed down and bowed, with a resolute attitude.
"I understand." Dong Zhuo was not angry, but seemed to understand. "You scholars, don't think about things in your head like we do...... For example, Wen You's guy is like this, I asked him to be a servant, but he only wants to continue to be this bullshit doctor, what kind of life is enough for a doctor? β
Li Ru, who was standing beside Dong Zhuo, was helpless, so he could only reluctantly smile: "Father-in-law, the doctor is not bullshit. β
"Whatever you want, just don't delay doing things." Dong Zhuo continued to laugh, but pointed to the other person in the seat. "There is also Uncle Cai, Uncle has always been sincere to me, and he has never been rude, but when he came to me today, he made an appointment for a banquet in the afternoon, invited him to arrive an hour early, and came to write a letter for me in the morning, but he was actually late, and he just came. I asked him why, and he said that he heard someone playing the piano on the road, and he couldn't move his legs......"
Cai Yong, who was sitting on the side writing something, couldn't help but raise his sky-high nose when he heard the words, and smiled hard at Dong Zhuo.
"And Xun Ciming." Dong Zhuo continued to point to a person, but it was an old man with gorgeous hair who was the first on his left hand side, and Jia Xu also hurriedly bowed to this person. "Ciming is the same age as me, but he is an honest man I met in Yingchuan when I was a teenager, and I asked him yesterday, is it possible to be the third prince to fulfill his life's wishes? But he said to me, I have rewarded him, and he is naturally grateful for going from a white body to a third prince in a hundred days, but the most proud thing in his life is that he annotated "Zhou Yi" back then......"
When the court Sikong Xun Shuang first smiled at Jia Xu, he reluctantly turned around and reiterated his opinion to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, for me, a rotten Confucian, annotating "Zhou Yi" is indeed the most proud thing in my life. β
"I'm impressed too!" Dong Zhuo's face was disgusted, but Li Ru's eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't help but interject.
Just smiled dryly at Xun Shuang, who was still extremely kind to Jia Xudu, and said no more, and Li Ru also knew how to shut up...... Everyone knows that a few days ago, Li Ru was ordered to poison and kill Liu Wei, the abolished son of heaven, although this matter is nothing in the current situation, but everyone is still a little embarrassed.
"All in all." Dong Zhuo didn't notice the slightest disharmony between his son-in-law and his old friend, but made the final arrangements for Jia Xu. "I understand what Wen He means, so I won't give you a knight. After two months to Chang'an, if the war ahead is smooth, it doesn't hurt for you to become a scholar or doctor...... That's it! β
Jia Xu was slightly moved: "Thank you Xiangguo for your understanding, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Dong Zhuo didn't care.
"It's just that most of the princes of Guanshan are useless people now, and with the divine martial arts of Xiangguo and the good fighting of our army, they can completely sweep and break through." Jia Xu stood in the hall and said carefully. "Why do you have to move the capital?"
"A war is a war, and the capital is moved!" Dong Zhuo frowned slightly. "Two unrelated...... And not to mention anything else, recently the Hedong Baibo thieves are about to move, and Gongsun Xun has already hit Taiyuan, and it is said that he also copied the home of the submaster, Guanzhong is my basic, and it must be strictly guarded against! Especially Gongsun Xun, although he only has 20,000 soldiers, he must not be underestimated! β
As Dong Zhuo made a color, everyone in the hall instinctively looked at the second person on Dong Zhuo's left hand side, when the court Situ led the Shangshu to order Prince Wang Yun.
But Wang Yun also made a slight gesture, and said with a straight face: "In fact, Gongsun Xun plundered my home, not necessarily because he was greedy for money, I am afraid that the road in Bingzhou is difficult to travel, and there are millions of mountain bandits in Taihang Mountain to cut off the connection between Youji and Bingzhou, and his people are not supported by logistics, so they wantonly plundered ......"
"Perhaps! However, in any case, we must return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to take precautions, and the relocation of the capital must not be postponed. Dong Zhuo shook his head again and again, and his face became more serious. Since I talked about this matter today, I will tell you more about the merger of states, not that I am afraid of Gongsun Xun, but that this son is indeed a famous general in the world, and his perseverance and determination are beyond the world, so I have to guard against it. β
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn, not to mention the subordinates and officers from Xiliang on Dong Zhuo's right hand, and Xun Shuang to Wang Yun on the left, all of them were solemn, and even Cai Yong suddenly stopped his pen for some reason.
"Do the math, his people have risen from a weak crown, and for more than ten years, the world has been in turmoil, is it enough that fifty or sixty percent of them are doing it? And this dynasty has always had border troubles, which are nothing more than the five places in the north, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xiqiang, and Goguryeo, are they also cut off by their own efforts? Such a character, the more silent, but to be strictly guarded against! Dong Zhuo continued to hold his belt and sighed in the seat. I think that when I was in Bingzhou, I had just arrived in Jinyang to serve as the assassin of the history, and he dared to come to see me alone, and he opened his mouth to say that he would get rid of Zhang Qi of Yanmen for me, and I knew at that time that he was a big hero! If it weren't for the fact that he had already promised marriage to Zhao Bao's daughter, I would have almost slaughtered my two waste sons-in-law and stuffed the two daughters into him together, why not just give him a knife? Why is it that he can preside over the government until today? β
Except for Li Ru, many people listened attentively.
And when Dong Zhuo said this, he suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, my granddaughter Xiaobai is thirteen years old, only three years older than Gongsun Xun's eldest son, Gongsun Ding, and it is not impossible to get married, and if Gongsun Xun can respond, let him go out of Jizhou, and I will go out of the Central Plains, wouldn't the world be able to settle down?" β
"Sangkook." Wang Yun hurriedly reminded in the seat. "The Baibo bandits, Zhang Yang, and the Xiongnu tribes are isolated from the road, that is, the information is always open, how can we talk about marriage? Moreover, Gongsun Xun will definitely not respond. β
"That's right!" Dong Zhuo sighed slightly. "Gongsun Xun will definitely not respond! It's Yuan Shao, after this defeat, ......"
Dong Zhuo stopped abruptly, causing everyone in the hall to be suspicious.
"Yuan Shao was defeated by this." Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed. "Maybe I have the idea of quitting the army...... can take advantage of the New Year's Day to send the secretary of state to change the yuan as the truth, and say that he will surrender to him! β
This time, the crowd didn't say much.
And after talking about these things, Dong Zhuo looked up again, but saw that Jia Xu was still in the hall, so he couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand to let the other party retreat, and Jia Wenhe also reluctantly sat back in the position reserved for him on the left-hand side.
However, after all, Dong Xiangguo had clear rewards and punishments, and Jia Xu refused the title, so he sent another order, saying that throughout the first month, when officers from all over the country sent them to Luozhong Xiangguo's mansion to send them to the seizure, no matter the treasures and beauties, they were all divided into two percent, one Cheng and Jia Xu, and one Cheng and Wang Yun, who lost his family property in his hometown, as compensation and comfort.
And after explaining this, Cai Yong also happened to finish writing the paperwork, and Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the servants to lay a few cases, pass dishes and wine, and have a feast...... First, it is natural to celebrate the New Year's Day; Second, it is also a celebration of Hanoi's victory!
However, not long after the banquet began, suddenly, military affairs came from outside the hall, and then a soldier reported in the hall, saying that Zhonglang sent a military report from Li Dao, but the previous captains Xu Rong and Li Meng were ordered to capture Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, and it had been successful.
Now, Li Meng and Xu Rong are governing Yang Zhai in Yingchuan County, and they have set up a cauldron and killed Li Min in public in accordance with Dong Xiangguo's direct military order! And the reason why it was so smooth was because Li Dao also stopped the soldiers and horses that Sun Jian tried to rescue in Yangcheng, and beheaded thousands! As for all the gains, Li Dao has already sent someone to Luozhong!
It is said that Li Min was appointed by Dong Zhuo, but after Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, Dong Zhuo regarded him as a rebel, so he hated him deeply, and he wanted to deter Yuan Shu, so he specially ordered the military to be killed...... Hearing this at this time, he couldn't help laughing, but as for the beheading of thousands and sending it specially, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
And everyone in the seat, like Dong Zhuo's reaction, didn't feel the same as Dong Zhuo's beheadings on the battlefield, but as soon as the word cooking and killing came out, they couldn't help but have some reactions, but they were distinct...... The Xiliang officers and subordinates on the right are mostly on the battlefield for a long time and are used to seeing bloody things, and although this thing is cruel, it is only a human life, so they don't care about it, and some people even take the initiative to laugh; But many of the court officials on the left, except for a few older people who were accustomed to the tragic scenes of plague, famine, and war, and could still maintain their composure, most of the rest were pale and out of shape!
That's not all, as Dong Zhuo's laughter continued, getting carried away, Liu Yan's eldest son, Zuo Zhonglang, took Liu Fan, and couldn't help but spit it out in public!
Jia Xu, who was sitting opposite, saw clearly, Liu Fan was munching on a ginseng stewed chicken before, no wonder he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Don't spoil everyone's interest, go out!"
Dong Zhuo originally saw someone vomiting in public, and he was almost moved to kill, but when he saw that it was Liu Fan, he somewhat understood that this person couldn't kill indiscriminately, so he waved his hand to drive the other party out.
Liu Fan couldn't wait for this, so he barely saluted, and fled from the hall in panic under the envious eyes of many people.
And as soon as the people went, Dong Zhuofu was overjoyed, and with the victory of Yingchuan in the south, he shouted to everyone to drink and celebrate...... No one in the hall dared to refuse.
In this way, the banquet lasted for several hours, and in the evening, the blood was gone, and only then did Dong Xiangguo be satisfied, so he gave up.
Those officers continued to drink and have fun, while court officials such as Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Cai Yong and other court officials said goodbye one after another, of course, although Jia Xu was an authentic Xiliang person and the protagonist of this banquet, he didn't like this kind of occasion either, and he immediately left...... However, I don't know if it's because Jia Wenhe is here, although this group of people is kind and polite, they are quite far apart, and then they walk out of Xiangguo's mansion together with their own hearts.
The only exception is Xun Shuang, who is supported by a taciturn middle-aged man in his thirties next to him, who is his nephew, Xun Gongda, the waiter of the Yellow Gate; And Xun Shuang himself is also quite kind and cheerful, all the way out, he is listening to him and laughing.
However, by coincidence, everyone endured the stiff atmosphere, came all the way to the door, and was just about to pinch their noses to say goodbye to each other, but they bumped into the most helpless scene head-on...... There are more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry, and more than half of them are Qiang cavalry with their capes, which is obviously Li Dao's department, and they are swaggering through the market!
And the horses of these cavalrymen are more or less with heads on them...... It's like the 'capture' that Li Dao sent people said before!
Everyone had no choice but to stand under the door and wait for these people to pass, but these sergeants had to dismount and walk in front of Dong Zhuo's mansion, and some people even recognized Wang Yun and Jia Xu, and they saluted, which made people more and more helpless and embarrassed.
But the more embarrassing thing is still to come, the cavalry queue showing off the 'capture' is estimated to be only halfway away, and someone from the Xiangguo Mansion behind him took the initiative to chase after him, but he asked several armor soldiers to give Wang Yun and Jia Xu dozens of women who were quite beautiful but frightened, and their clothes were still stained with blood, saying that they were the 'trophies' sent by Li Dao just now, and according to Xiangguo's orders, they were seized in the first month, and they had to share the profits of these two.
Which of Wang Yun or Jia Xu dares to resign? So he had no choice but to let these armor soldiers and women stand in front of the door and continue to wait for the cavalry to pass.
However, it didn't take long for something to happen...... Suddenly, as a Xiliang cavalry dismounted and saluted, a woman galloped out from behind Jia Xu, and then ignored it, and rushed straight to the war horse behind the cavalry!
Several big people saw it clearly, she didn't want to snatch the horse, but actually wanted to snatch the head of the other party's horse!
Jia Xu was cold and opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could speak, the Xiangguo Mansion armor behind him caught up, slashed down with a knife, and beheaded the woman on the street, and threw it directly on the horse, as if he wanted the cavalry to dispose of the corpse by the way.
After this incident, the women in front of the Xiangguo Mansion cried a lot, but they didn't dare to behave redundantly, and the many pillars of the court standing in front of them were all pale, and none of them made a sound.
Finally survived until this wave of cavalry left, Jia Xu, who was like a wood carving, hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to leave here and return home with these women. However, just as he was about to leave, he bumped into a person on the side of the street, who was dressed in brocade, but stumbled, as if drunk, and almost fell to the ground after this collision.
Jia Wenhe hurriedly helped this person up, but found that it was Liu Fan, who had left early.
Liu Fan's eyes were red, his face was pale, he barely stood up, and after seeing that it was Jia Xu, he pushed the other party away as if he had seen something disgusting, hiding his face and leaving in a hurry.
Jia Xu felt more and more cold and unbearable...... He also just thought that Liu Fan had lived in seclusion in Yangcheng Mountain with his father Liu Yan for eighteen years, and almost grew up in Yangcheng Mountain.
As soon as he thought of this, Jia Wenhe instinctively turned around and tried to hold on to this person, but found that Xun Shuang's nephew Xun You had already supported Liu Fan. However, after Liu Fan saw that it was Xun You, he was also full of disgust, and directly pushed the other party away, and even Xun Shuang behind Xun You, who hit him, was also stumbling.
But the dignified three dukes, and the person who is known for his heartiness, was so confronted, but he was like a wood carving, not smiling or angry.
After this collision, Wang Yun, who was obviously ready to step forward to support the other party, stopped and stood in place expressionlessly.
Liu Fan continued to chase those cavalry and staggered forward, while in front of the Xiangguo Mansion behind him, the ancestors and grandsons of the Xun family, Wang Yun of Taiyuan, and Jia Xu of Xiliang, but they had their own thoughts in the sobs of dozens of women, and dispersed silently...... Don't even dare to go back!
Only Cai Bojiao suddenly trembled like chaff.
