Chapter 287 Dong Zhuo Cao Cao's suggestion

Ma Chao, who was still on the road at this time, didn't know what to do, after he left, there was a big incident in Luoyang City.

When it was discovered that the prince had disappeared for no reason, many people were anxious. Can you not be in a hurry, as the saying goes, "the country cannot be without a monarch for a day", compared with Liu Xie, there are still more people who support the eldest son Liu Wei, this is indeed true.

As a result, a large group of people couldn't find it on the left, and they couldn't find it on the right. After the end, they sent people out of Luoyang City to look for it, but they didn't find it. Originally, I was expecting to ask Liu Wei's mother, Empress He, but I found out that Empress He actually hanged herself and hanged herself. By the time I found out, I couldn't save it. If you have someone who understands, you already know the Tao, Queen He is protecting her children.

When Liu Hong was here, although the world was not peaceful, and there were many people who were not subservient, but at least on the surface, it was okay. After all, he has been an emperor for so many years, and Liu Hong's subordinates also have loyal ministers and good generals, so it is reasonable. But Liu Hong is now in such a collapse, if the weak son succeeds to the throne, relying on Liu Wei and him is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of a dynasty emperor. Don't look at the fact that many people support the elder system, but everyone knows that Liu Wei really doesn't have any great ability, and he may not be as good as Liu Hong, and he is not suitable to be the emperor.

So you forced him to be the emperor, and his biggest reliance, his uncle He Jin is now dead, and his biggest backer is gone, what else can you use to deter the ministers, to deter those who have the heart of disobedience. The vast majority of people believe that Liu Wei does not have that much ability.

And now that Liu Wei is missing and Queen He has committed suicide, then when these two things are linked, it is not difficult to find that Queen He actually knows the whereabouts of her son, or she sent Liu Wei away. But as a mother, it is impossible to sell her son, who is a parent who doesn't want her children to be safe all their lives, even if she doesn't be this dangerous emperor, she has to keep Liu Wei safe.

The clues on Queen He's side were broken, and everyone began to investigate little by little, and finally found a little clue, and the most suspicious person turned out to be Liangzhou Muma Chao Mengqi. After learning about this situation at that time, it should be said that almost everyone was stunned for a moment, after all, except for Ma Chao's uncle Ma Riyan, Wu Kuang and Queen He, as well as Zhang Rang, who had escaped, no one else knew that Ma Chao had actually come to Luoyang.

Then this is more interesting, he Ma Chao is not staying in Liangzhou, why did he come to Luoyang, a place of right and wrong? And it looks like he's already gone. Sure enough, after continuing to investigate, I learned from Wu Kuang that Ma Chao had already left, and he also took his uncle Ma Riyan with him.

When everyone learned about this situation, it suddenly dawned on them, so it was, so it was. This Ma Riyan is obviously in Luoyang, what is unwell, returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, all of them are pure nonsense. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao took the prince out of Luoyang City like this. But for Wu Kuang, no one dared to say anything. After all, after He Jin's death, his men and horses were in the hands of two people. The first one was He Jin's younger brother He Miao, who had mastered the Luoyang army of about 100,000 people. And the second one is this Wu Kuang, who has more than 50,000 men and horses left and less than 60,000.

Now the one who has a soldier is the uncle, and no one dares to offend. Of course, they didn't dare to say anything about Wu Kuang, but Wu Kuang didn't feel good in his heart, after all, Ma Chao deceived him. Of course, he is not incomprehensible, but now that the prince has been taken away by Ma Chao, where else can he find it. But he didn't regret it, if he did it again, he would still let them go and let them leave.

In fact, Wu Kuang also knew that General Lu Dao wanted his nephew to succeed to the throne, but that was because Liu Wei's succession to the throne could bring him unlimited benefits and benefits. But now that the generals have died, it really doesn't make much difference to Wu Kuang who succeeds to the throne. Anyway, whether it was the prince's debate or the prince's association before, he didn't have any favors and kindness to himself, and of course he didn't have anything bad about himself. There has been no interaction at all, and Wu Kuang actually belongs to the neutral faction.

But if he knew that Ma Chao had taken Zhang Rang away, I don't know how Wu Kuang would feel. He should regret letting Ma Chao go, after all, he is working so hard now, just to find Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo, and then slash the two of them, so that he can take revenge. In Wu Kuang's view, as a subordinate, the lord is dead, and he can't avenge his lord's hatred, which is really in vain. What's more, the general is kind to himself, and he has become a general with heavy troops from an ordinary soldier back then, all of which can be said to be the general's kindness.

Indeed, if there was no He Jin, there would be no Wu Kuang today.

As soon as he heard that Ma Chao had taken the prince away, Yuan Shao was so angry that he said that he and the others had been busy for so long, and he Ma Chao was good, so he took the people away directly. So didn't all this done by himself and others go to waste, Yuan Shao was unwilling, but what could he do.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is much calmer. Although he didn't feel very good in his heart, he still didn't say anything when he was defeated in the hands of Ma Chao. After all, there is a mental calculation or not, Ma Chao is definitely prepared, and he and the others are busy with other things, and the result is that the family will take advantage of the loophole. If you want to say it, you can only say that you and others were careless, so there is such a result. But on the other hand, Cao Cao was very relieved. With his understanding of Ma Chao, he knew that Liu Wei was definitely a hundred times safer in Ma Chao's hands than in the palace, and he had nothing to worry about.

And at this time, someone suddenly suggested that troops should be sent to chase Ma Chao, but many people looked at him like idiots. It's been so long, if he can really catch up with him, then he won't be Ma Chao Ma Mengqi. Okay, even if you can catch up, but do you know which way Ma Chao went, if you don't know the way, then you have to send people to all the roads. Send people, how many people, that's another question. If it's less, it's definitely not going to work, after all, Ma Chao's martial arts are there, so much, the speed is slow again, can you still catch up? So chasing Ma Chao must not work, let's think about something else useful.

This one lowered his head embarrassedly, and then another one popped out, saying, it is better for everyone to support the prince to defend the succession as the emperor, and then Ma Chao can't withstand the pressure, so he will send the prince back. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot plus three levels, not to mention that the prince was not there, how could you let him succeed to the throne, do you just find someone to pretend to be? Or how to do it.

Let's just say that there is no direct evidence that Ma Chao took the prince away, no one saw it, and everything was just a suspicion. Although everyone believes that it was his Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi who did it, no one has strong evidence. Since you can't come up with evidence, you said who the world will believe when the time comes, if Ma Chao denies it, he will say no, don't you still have no choice, and this matter still can't be solved after the end.

Everyone is helpless about this, but now that the prince is missing, of course the only prince will succeed to the throne. However, when he will succeed to the throne, everyone does not have a unified opinion.

And at this moment, Kuma came to report: "Report, everyone, Hedong Dong Zhuo's 400,000 army is coming to Luoyang!" They raised the banner of, 'Shock the small, Kuang Fu Sheji'! ”

Everyone was taken aback, and no one knew why Dong Zhuo came so quickly. They don't know how to move, the 400,000 army is much more than the current Luoyang, how is this good. Everyone unconsciously focused their attention on Huangfu Song, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

Although the soldiers of Luoyang are in the hands of He Miao and Wu Kuang, everyone also knows that these two people have no great ability. When it comes to big things, you can't count on them at all. On the contrary, like Huangfu Song, although there are not many people in their hands, they are people with real skills.

Cao Cao just smiled at this time: "Everyone, don't be impatient, how about a few words?" ”

Everyone didn't make small moves, they all quietly listened to what Cao Cao was going to say, and only listened to Cao Cao say: "Everyone, please think about it, he Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying do have a lot of people, but please think about it, does he Dong Zhongying have 400,000 people?" ”

Yes, everyone came back to their senses. That's right, Dong Zhuo, how can he have so many people and horses, I obviously heard that he has 100,000 people, why is there 400,000 now, that's 400,000 horses, not 400,000 cabbages. Every day, people eat horses and feed, I don't know how much grain and grass Lu Dao has to consume, it is too much, does he Dong Zhongying really have so much money and food to support 400,000 people.

Dong Zhuo really doesn't have so many people, but half, 200,000 people. As for the support of money and food, when Dong Zhuo asked Li Dao and Guo Yan to secretly recruit troops in various places, he had already let them pretend to be the Yellow Turban Yu Party and bandits in Si Li, and robbed a lot of places. Of course, he didn't grab the state and county, but the rich people everywhere, and he didn't dare to move the top and first-class families. But when he was a little younger, he let them grab it casually, and with Li Su by Li Dao Guo Yan and their side, they did succeed in doing a lot of votes. It can be said that when they came back, they were all fully loaded.

And Dong Zhuo had already asked Li Ru to contact a lot of Haoqiang a long time ago. So at this time, Dong Zhuo can be said to have received the secret support of Haoqiang, as well as the plundered resources, so it is indeed no problem to raise an army of 200,000, and he can raise it for a while.

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, as long as he occupies Luoyang, then the treasury is his own, as well as Liu Hong's private treasury, which is enough to raise an army of hundreds of thousands.

Cao Cao saw that everyone should have understood, "Yes, it is impossible for him Dong Zhongying to have so many people." it, 200,000 horses are at most, so don't be afraid! ”

When the timid people heard about the 200,000 horses, they still shrank their necks, and said in their hearts that there were more than the 200,000 horses in Luoyang City.

When Cao Cao saw a few people like this, he despised them in his heart, and said in his heart that if the ministers of the Han Dynasty were like this, it would really not be a blessing for the court.

"Guys, I have an idea, let me tell you. Now the country can't be without a monarch for a day, on the one hand, we should hurry up and let the prince Xie inherit the unification, and on the other hand, let the Empress Dowager Dong issue an edict, so that Ding Jianyang, the former pastor of the state, will immediately lead the state army into Beijing to balance Dong Zhongying! Look, isn't that good? ”

When everyone heard it, this method was good, and Ding Jianyang, the former pastor of the state, was a person who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so letting him enter Beijing was just right to suppress Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying.
