Chapter 59: Zhu Jun's decision
"It's not a secret, this time Xia Guan only brought five hundred personal soldiers, and at the same time brought a thousand stones of grain to reward the army." Pei Qing didn't hide it, and told Zhu Jun the truth directly.
Zhu Jun's face became gloomy again, and he said angrily: "You only brought such a few people here, are you here to prevaricate the general?" ”
"Why should the general be angry? First of all, my Yingchuan is the place of the four wars, and the troops are already stretched, and at the same time, we have to guard against the invasion of thieves from all over the world, so there is no way for the lower officials, my generation of rebels and support the imperial court, the most fundamental is not to ensure the safety of the people? ”
"Well, what you said is not unreasonable," Zhu Jun's face was a little better, but then he still said: "However, Dong Zhuo has plundered the Son of Heaven, tyrannical and unreasonable, as long as he is in one day, it is impossible for the world to be peaceful, and it is in view of this that the righteous master gathered here, and at the same time gathered the loyal and righteous people of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and re-secure the world, so relatively speaking, this matter is more urgent, this is not the gain or loss of one state and one county, but the safety of the whole world, it is in view of this, all the loyal and righteous people in the world are coming." , but Pei Taishou, you only bring such a small number of troops, it is really a bit of a problem, in fact, you are not Yingchuan Taishou, Yingchuan's defense has nothing to do with you at all, you can concentrate more troops here, as long as you drive away Dong Zhuo and make a great contribution to the imperial court, the reward you will get is not only as simple as the governor of this county. ”
However, I didn't expect Pei Qingzheng to say: "Zhu Cheqi, please forgive the officials for not agreeing with your words, the so-called people, the foundation of the world, the world of those who win the hearts of the people, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, although I am too guarded by Nanyang, but I can't watch the people of Yingchuan worry all day long, and live a precarious life, since Nanyang now has its own system, I don't mind temporarily governing Yingchuan, surviving the people, and building the hearts of the people in the court, which is not only to repay the favor of the court, but also to win the hearts of the people for the court, the meaning of which is no less than the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Otherwise, we will win the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but we will lose the support of the people, I am afraid that the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be repeated at that time, not to mention that the current situation of our army is not as Zhu Cheqi said, right? At the beginning, the Kwantung heroes gathered, and in the end, the matter of fighting Dong was only a tiger's head, and now our army is outnumbered, and the two Yuan are all gone, General Sun died in battle, and even Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao, Dongjun, who are close to my Zhongmu, are not there, I don't know how much confidence Zhu Cheqi can have to defeat Dong Zhuo? ”
Pei Qing's words can be said to be ruthless, but Zhu Jun was not angry, but said: "No matter what the outcome is, we will do our best to serve the court, rank, this is not the place to speak, and go to my account to talk about it." ”
From the beginning of seeing Zhu Jun, it was only now that Pei Qing was allowed to enter the camp to talk, but Pei Qing was not unhappy, but secretly relieved, because it meant that his previous words had worked, and Zhu Jun had accepted himself.
Although he was not afraid in his heart, Pei Qing was not willing to directly clash with Zhu Jun, so he led the army to come, since he had already come, of course he hoped that Zhu Jun could accept himself, and now the purpose of the first step has been achieved, although he also knows that this step is not difficult for him to do, but he really did it, and he is still very happy in his heart.
After coming to the tent and sitting down, Zhu Jun looked at the three pro-soldier generals standing behind Pei Qing, and said in surprise: "These three strong men are extraordinary, they must be warriors under Pei Taishou, I really didn't expect Pei Taishou to be able to recruit such heroes, it's really admirable." With such a strong man under Pei Taishou's command, is it still worried that he can't defeat Dong Zhuo? ”
When Pei Qing heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Why does the general ask knowingly? When the crusade against Dong Zhuo was at the beginning, the Kwantung Coalition Army also had first-class generals such as Sun Wentai, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Xiahou Yuanrang, and Xiahou Miaocai, but they also failed to help Dong Zhuo, if you talk about the warriors in the world, how many people can be the opponents of Na Lu Bu? But then again, the reason why Xia Guan came here this time is just to say that he will definitely respect the general's orders, as for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, in fact, Dong Zhuo's time limit has arrived, and there is no need for us to crusade at all, Xia Guan is sure that within a month, Dong Zhuo will die, Xia Guan is actually just worried, although Dong Zhuo is dead, but the world is still turbulent. ”
"Huh? The two surnamed Xiahou you are talking about should be Cao Mengde's brothers, right? Although I haven't seen or heard of it, I also know that the generals under Cao Mengde must not be too bad, but who are Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide? Why haven't I heard of these two characters? Also, you just concluded that Dong Zhuo would die, what is the basis for this? You say that Dong Zhuo is dead, and the world will fall into chaos again, what basis is this? ”
Zhu Jun had a lot of questions about what Pei Qing said just now, and he couldn't help it, so he said it in one breath.
After Pei Qing heard it, he was stunned, and thought silently: "This Zhu Jun doesn't even know who Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are?" At the beginning, the Tiger Prison closed the Three Heroes and fought against Lu Bu, and Guan Zhang should have already been famous all over the world, what is going on? Could it be that this legendary story turned out to be fake? After I go back, I must take a good look at the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms or the Book of the Later Han Dynasty to save me from cognitive mistakes about some things. ”
However, Pei Qing could only reply: "This Guan Yunchang, Mingyu, Hedong people, Zhang Yide Mingfei, Zhuojun people, are all generals of Liu Bei, the minister of the Plains, and the lower officials once had a relationship, these two are all brave, and it is not too much to say that they are ten thousand enemies." As for Dong Zhuo, rumors about him are spreading now, especially the song He Qingqing, ten days of Bu, no life, needless to say, I heard that he threw a halberd at his brave general Lu Bu for a trivial matter, and threatened to kill the other party, so that as long as the person with a heart uses this to persuade him, Lu Bu will rebel, and as long as Lu Buli should cooperate with the outside, Dong Zhuo will die and have no place to be buried. It is not difficult for Dong Zhuo to fall into chaos after that, there are many soldiers in Xiliang, as long as one of the aftermath is not done properly, it will immediately trigger them to rebel, and at that time, it is natural that the world will fall into war again. ”
Zhu Jun listened to Pei Qing's words and suddenly fell into deep thought, he now can't think about who Liu Bei is, what about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, now he is most concerned about the situation in Chang'an, once Dong Zhuo is dead, the world will fall into turmoil again.
But why is it mishandled? Everyone knows that we should only ask about the first evil, not about the principle of coercion, right? Zhu Jun still didn't understand why Pei Qing said this, because no matter who it was, as long as he could plot against Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, it was enough to prove that he was a smart person, how could such a smart person not understand the truth of only asking about the first evil and not asking about coercion? So generally speaking, the trees are falling and scattered, as long as Dong Zhuo dies, the Xiliang Army should be gone.
Pei Qing shook his head and said: "This may not be, for example, that person has a strong temperament, it is likely that he will not let go of Dong Zhuo's general Li Dao Guo Yan, which will definitely cause Li Dao Guo Yan to rebel......
"You mean, Wang Situ? Indeed, this human nature is like a fire, if he is allowed to control the situation in Chang'an, he will really do this kind of thing, your analysis is very reasonable, no, I must go to Chang'an as soon as possible, Wang Situ is like a fire, and he is very stubborn, and only I can persuade him to change his mind, Pei Taishou, if what you say is true, then you are the hero who saved my Han in one sentence. ”
After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he passed down the order to send capable spies to Chang'an to investigate the news, as long as he got accurate information, he would immediately go to Chang'an, trying to turn the tide with his own strength and help the building to fall.
