Chapter 240: Turmoil

"Tea...", a person who resembled a butler sang, and the servant had already come up with tea and slowly placed it on Wang Yun's table, for fear of making the slightest movement and causing the master's dissatisfaction. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

As today's Situ, after getting rid of Dong Zhuo just now, he has the full support of Lu Bu, and now he can be called a power-leaning government and the opposition. However, Wang Yun's life has been maintained in a relatively simple state, the layout in the room is simple, the bookshelf next to it is full of all kinds of books, and the only slightly extravagant thing is probably only this cup of tea...

As a literati, Wang Yun can of course drink alcohol, but relatively speaking, he still prefers to drink tea.

This cup of tea has been trained quite perfectly, fragrant, if it were in the past, I am afraid that Wang Yun would have praised it, but now he just took a sip lightly, so that the originally frowning brows were slightly relaxed...

The housekeeper next to him saw it, and of course he knew what his master was bothered about. Not long ago, Cai Yong sighed for Dong Zhuo during the banquet, and was arrested by Wang Yun, who was worried about the lack of typicalβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” it is not very strange, Dong Zhuo was also quite preferential to Cai Yong when he was there, Cai Yong is just a literati who knows how to study scriptures, and does not know what politics, Dong Zhuo is so grateful to him, of course he is grateful, this is a very common thing, but in the eyes of loyal ministers of the Han family such as Wang Yun, it seems quite an eyesore...

Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, of course, it's time to settle accounts after the autumn...

What Wang Yun didn't expect was that it should have been a very simple matter, but he didn't want to make such a big fuss, and many ministers in the court did not agree with Wang Yun's plan to deal with Cai Yong, and felt that there was no need to punish Cai Yong so severely.

Cai Yong is an idle literati, he has basically not offended anyone in the DPRK and China over the years, and he has no conflict of interest with other ministers, and he has a considerable reputation, which is why the ministers will defend him.

Even the ministers who stood on Wang Yun's side felt that there was no need to be so harsh, and felt that they could agree to Cai Yong's own criminal law of engraving forehead dyeing and amputating his feet according to Sima Qian's allusions, so that Cai Yong could complete the history of the Han Dynasty, but Wang Yun refused.

(After hearing that Wang Yun was going to execute Cai Yong, the Taiwei at that time also hurriedly advised: "Cai Yong is a genius of the world, he knows a lot of things in the Han Dynasty, he should be allowed to continue to write the history of the settlement and make it an important allusion of a generation, and his reputation for loyalty and filial piety has always been significant, and there is no original guilt, wouldn't killing him lose his prestige.") Wang Yun said: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not kill Sima Qian, and let him write a slanderous book that will be passed on to future generations. Now that the country is weakened and the government is not stable, it is not possible to allow treacherous and flattering courtiers to write articles next to the young master, which will not only increase the benevolence of the saints, but will also lead us to a round of slander. After Taiwei left, he said to others: "Wang Yun probably can't live in the world for long, a moral person is the country's discipline, writing is the country's classics, and if the discipline and classics are abandoned, can it last long?" ”)

It was precisely because the ministers vied with each other to speak for Cai Yong that Wang Yun couldn't make a decision for a long time, but this also made him firm in his beliefs. Wang Yun was originally a stubborn person, but now he has let Cai Yong go because of the opinions of his ministers, how can he govern in the future?

"Cai Yong's matter has been delayed for too long, it seems that it is necessary to solve it as soon as possible..."muttered, Wang Yun already had his own decision in his heart.

But before he could gather the scribes in the palace, there were already hurried footsteps outside. Without waiting for Wang Yun to summon him, he saw that the housekeeper who had just left for a short time came to Wang Yun with an anxious face...

Half an hour later, standing in front of the prison door, the civil and military officials around him were trembling, but Wang Yun was pale.

At this time, the gate of the prison was already full of corpses, almost all of them were the jailers and a few officials who were in charge of guarding last night, but overnight, the guards in the prison were almost swept away, and none of them remained.

But this is not what he cares about the most, what he cares about most is that there are two fewer prisoners who were originally locked in the prison, and they are the two most important ones...

Cai Yong, Li Ru...

"What's going on..."Wang Yun's tone was cold and stiff, like ice in the cold winter.

"This, Xiaochen didn't dare to hide it, I waited until I came this morning to find that the gate of the prison was empty, at first I thought that someone was lazy, and I didn't care, I just walked inside, but I didn't expect it to be empty, and I didn't find out until we entered the prison..."

"I found out that there were already corpses in it..."

Speaking of this, looking at Wang Yun's face, the official was almost speechless.

"My lord..."At this time, a military general came over, it was a military general specially transferred to him after Lu Bu cooperated with Wang Yun. I don't dare to say how martial arts are, but I am also a veteran general in the army, and my experience is very sophisticated. "According to the last general, someone should have attacked this place last night, killed all the people in the prison, and then robbed the two people inside..."

Although he doesn't think much of Lu Bu in his heart, the two are now nominal allies, and Wang Yun also needs Lu Bu in many places. For other people, maybe Wang Yun can still put on a face, and the face of this person is still a little softened.

"General, I wonder if there is anyone in the city who has the ability to do this?"

"Quite a few...", he glanced at the corpses on the ground with some disdain and the trembling people around him, and the military general said respectfully. The guards here are not very tight, and I didn't expect that someone would come to rob the prison, and it doesn't take many soldiers and horses, only a dozen or so people can do this, but..."

Speaking of this, the military general also said with a serious face. "can do it so neatly, these people's skills are quite good, even in Chang'an City, I'm afraid I can't find many of them, plus none of these people were saved, but they saved those two people, I'm afraid their identity..."

Because Li Ru's identity is very sensitive, the military general was also cautious and did not mention the name of this person, but described it as 'those two people'. However, Wang Yun heard the meaning of his words very clearly, and his face became serious.

"Is Dong Zhuo still guilty..."

In fact, it's no wonder that Wang Yun and Na Wu will think badly, not many people know about Cai Yan's running to Yan Shaona, and those who know it can't run to Wang Yun's side to tell him with a big mouth.

What's more, if he wants to die, Zhang Jian also rescued Li Ru.

Don't look at Cai Yong's matter in the court, it's actually just a trivial matter, but Li Ru is different. As one of Dong Zhuo's right-hand men, Li Ru's importance is self-evident, and his identity as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law also gives him important influence, especially for those Dong Zhuo's old subordinates who have not yet returned to obedience...

Dong Zhuo has only two sons-in-law, one is Niu Fu and the other is Li Ru.

Now that Niu Fu is dead, this Li Ru...

"Quick, call Feng Xian, and say that I have something important to discuss with him..."Thinking of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others who had just been rejected by him not long ago, coupled with this incident, Wang Yun's brows furrowed tightly.

The general also seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Order, immediately close all the city gates, strictly prohibit anyone from going out, and the whole city is under martial law, immediately send people to search the city, and be sure to find out the two fugitives who escaped for me..."

"Yes!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” Dividing Lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Fortunately, we walked fast enough..."Looking at the closed city gate behind him, Zhang Jian and the others, who had just converged, breathed a sigh of relief.

More than a dozen people, and all of them are burly, such people are the most eye-catching kind no matter where they are. So when they left, Zhang Jian and the others did not directly find a city gate to leave, but walked out from several city gates in batches.

Doing so slows things down, but it also makes sure they don't get too noticeable. Don't look at them, they are all the elite of Yan Shao's army, and they have the courage to be able to defeat one against ten. Even if you don't count the elites like the trapped camp, there are no less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this Chang'an City.

If you want to fight against tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with more than a dozen people, even if all of them are at Lu Bu's level, it's useless...

After all, there is only one example of seven in and seven out, or when Cao Cao ordered not to release arrows, otherwise it would be a real living martial god, and I am afraid there would be no way to kill it from the army of millions...

"General Zhang..." I didn't expect to really run out, Cai Yong also had an expression on his face that escaped, but he was still a little worried. They won't send troops after us, will they..."

"I don't dare to call it that, Jian is just an ordinary pawn under the main account." Zhang Jian hurriedly said, but he didn't dare to hold it up in front of Cai Yong.

Zhang Jian said so, how dare Cai Yong take it seriously? His life is still in the hands of others.

"Definitely, and it is estimated that it will be Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry, if they catch up, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to survive, so..." We need to get back to Qingzhou faster than they do, or we're afraid..."

"Don't worry about this..."Li Ru, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"What do you mean by that?" Glancing at Li Ru, Zhang Jian asked in a stiff tone.

Originally, Zhang Jian didn't plan to rescue Li Ru, but it was Cai Yong who pleaded beside him, and Zhang Jian took him out of the cell by the way.

For this guy who was Dong Zhuo's right hand and didn't know how many bad things he had done, whether it was Zhang Jian or anyone else in the team, he definitely didn't have the slightest good impression, so it was no wonder that Zhang Jian's attitude was so bad.

was treated like this, Li Ru had no emotional changes. Perhaps for this poisoner who used to be Dong Zhuo's side, this matter is not worth caring about at all. Moreover, he was able to escape from the prison thanks to Zhang Jian, Li Ru would do his best to help Dong Zhuo, in addition to the relationship between the two, the most important thing is that Dong Zhuo has the grace to support him.

Even the so-called poisoners will have the same mentality of repaying their gratitude.

No matter how unkind Zhang Jian's tone was, with his kindness in rescuing Li Ru from the cell, Li Ru would not be unfavorable to him.

"If the general had only rescued Lord Cai from the cell, I am afraid that the cavalry chasing us would have been all over the mountains and fields, but the general also rescued Ru, and things would have become a little different..."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Lord Cai is just an idle literati, this time Wang Situ condemned him, most of them were angry, but in fact he didn't take it very seriously, if the general only saved Lord Cai, Wang Situ would definitely be angry, thinking that it was a provocation to him and the court, so he would inevitably send people to chase him around."

But this time it was different, the general also rescued Confucian, what Confucianism is, I believe the general also knows it. If someone broke into the prison and rescued Confucian, what would the general think? I'm afraid that the first thought is that the previous enemy has not been completely killed, and he is planning a counterattack..."

"If it's just the remnants, it's okay to say, but the Xiliang soldiers and horses loyal to Dong Xiangguo don't have much loss, and they are eyeing not far from Chang'an City, at this time, Wang Situ won't murmur a little in his heart, it is inevitable to send people to chase him, but it is difficult to say how many soldiers and horses will be sent, but I am afraid that now Wang Situ is busy contacting Lu Bu and can't care about chasing us at all. And since it is the Xiliang Army that saves people, it will inevitably go in the direction of the west, even if there are chasing soldiers, they will go to the west, but the general is from Qingzhou, it is exactly two directions, and it will be much safer. However, for the sake of safety, the general should still lead us to Qingzhou by the small road to avoid the pursuers on the main road, so it is the best policy. ”

Li Ru's words caused everyone to nod incessantly.

But after being silent for a while, Zhang Jian looked at him and asked slowly.

"You said that the Xiliang army near Chang'an is still effectively loyal to Dong Zhuo? Why do you want to go to Qingzhou with us? Why, don't you want to go back to the Xiliang Army? ”

Li Ru smiled helplessly. "Even if Confucianism plans to go back, will the general let me go back?"

Of course it can't be, not to mention that Li Ru is also Zhang Jian's trophy, his identity alone can't be let go so easily. Don't look at Zhang Jian breaking into the prison and rescuing Cai Yong this time, he still has a certain loyalty to the Han family, and it is Yan Shao's order to do this, but he has no good impression of Li Ru, one of the culprits.

After knowing that there was a group of Xiliang troops not far from here, how could Li Ru be releasedβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” what was the difference between that and letting the tiger return to the mountain?

The best way is to control Li Ru in his own hands, and wait until he arrives in Qingzhou and then hand it over to the lord to make a decision, which is the best policy.

As a first-class strategist, how could Li Ru not know this, and he also knew Zhang Jian's thoughts, so he didn't force the other party to put him back. Moreover, the Xiliang Army is a place where strength is pursued, and those generals are loyal to Dong Zhuo, but Geng Geng may not.

Even if I still remember Dong Zhuo at first, I'm afraid I will forget it after a long time. This can be seen from the fact that not long after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others went up to the table to ask for surrender. If he was really loyal to Dong Zhuo, how could he decide to surrender to Wang Yun so quickly? This real murderer who killed Dong Zhuo.

If Dong Zhuo was still alive, Li Ru, his personal adviser and son-in-law, would have said the same, but it would be difficult to say now.

In addition, the Xiliang Army is a place that emphasizes strength, and Li Ru is now poor and white, and he doesn't even have any soldiers, why should he let the rest of the Xiliang Army listen to him?

In addition, Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law, Niu Fu, is dead, and he is the only one left who is a relatively legitimate heir. If one doesn't make a good scene, it may even be regarded as a thorn in the eye, and even his life may not be saved, so it is better to follow these Qingzhou visitors to Qingzhou.

If that Yan Shao is really as rumored, maybe it will be a place for him.

For the current Li Ru, a place where he can live is too important.

However, if Zhang Jian knew his thoughts, I am afraid that he would rather let him go than take him back to Qingzhou. As far as Zhang Jian is concerned, he really doesn't want his monarch to be involved with such a person.

"In that case, let's go..."

Glancing back at Chang'an City again, Zhang Jian said to Li Ru and Cai Yong.

The group did not delay for too long, so they rode their horses and trekked in the direction of Qingzhou, during which they avoided the main road and took some remote paths, although the speed was slowed down, but the group could avoid the pursuit.

As Li Ru said, worried about Li Ru's escape, Wang Yun did not send too many people to chase him, and more importantly, in Wang Yun's opinion, Li Ru was rescued, so it would only be Dong Zhuo's old department, that is, the Xiliang Army, who would save people.

If Li Ru escaped, he would only go to the west, not the east.

In this way, the pursuers are all in the western position, and even if some of them go to the east, the number is pitiful, and it will not threaten Zhang Jian's safety at all.

However, it is said that after Cao Cao gained a firm foothold in Shandong, there were many military generals, so he thought about bringing his father back from Xuzhou.

Cao Cao's father is also a man with a background, once ranked one of the three dukes, and his identity is extraordinary, but after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cao Song left Luoyang to take refuge in Xuzhou. As one of the few areas that did not have much war at that time, Xuzhou was indeed a suitable place to take refuge.

It's just that...

As the princes of Kwantung began to stand in line for the two sons of the Yuan family, Cao Cao and Tao Qian also had great contradictions.

Needless to say, Cao Cao must have tended to send Yuan Shao on his own, and Cao Cao was even in a state of dependence on Yuan Shao in the early days. Tao Qian, on the other hand, belonged to the same camp as Yuan Shu, and their positions were not compatible. Just kept his father on the enemy's territory, Cao Cao himself was probably not happy, he was suspicious by nature, but he didn't think that there was really a fight, and the opponent would be a gentleman to the point of taking good care of his father.

What's more, he already had a lot of thoughts about Xuzhou, but there was little room for relaxation with Tao Qian.

At this point, Tao Qian seemed to be very righteous, and did not mean to embarrass Cao Song, and after learning that Cao Cao wanted to take Cao Song back to his own territory, he did not stop it, but sent some soldiers to escort him. The problem is that the people sent by Tao Qian to escort have a big problem...

ZHANG Min...

Under Tao Qian's account, he was just an ordinary small character, but his original identity was a yellow turban thief who was subordinate to Tao Qian. The Cao family is also a family that has been inherited for many generations, and Cao Song himself brought a huge amount of property when he moved, and this time it was the same, it is conceivable that they were escorted by a group of people who were originally yellow turban thieves with such a huge amount of wealth, how could they just watch?

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, heavy rain came suddenly, and I had to spend my night in an ancient temple. Monastery access. Song settled down to a small family, and ordered General Zhang Min to Ma Tun in two corridors. All the army's clothes were wet from the rain, and they complained in unison. Zhang Min summoned the leaders of his subordinates to discuss in a quiet place and said: "We are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and we have reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian, and there is no benefit. Now the Cao family has countless heavy vehicles, and it is not difficult for you to get rich and noble, but tonight on the third watch, everyone cut in, killed Cao Song's family, took the property, and went to the mountains to fall into the grass. What is the plan? ”

The so-called thief nature does not change, perhaps this is the case.

It's so hard along the way, it already makes this person's subordinates complain, and there is so much wealth in front of them, as long as they succeed, they will be rich for a lifetime, then Cao Cao is not a great character, and the place he occupies is only a small piece, even if he is offended, there will not be any big trouble if he leaves Shandongβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” and with so much wealth in front of him, I am afraid it will be difficult for someone to think about so many things, just a little thought, The crowd nodded in agreement.

It was the night when the wind and rain had not stopped, and Cao Song was sitting in it to rest, when he suddenly heard the shouts of the four walls. Cao Song's son Cao De took out the sword to see, and was strangled to death just after he went out.

Seeing this scene, Cao Song was shocked, and hurriedly led a concubine to the abbot, wanting to walk over the wall. It's just that what I didn't expect was that his concubine room was too fat, and it was impossible to turn it over, Cao Song himself was also old, and it was impossible to abandon the concubine room, so he took his concubine room and ran to the toilet to hide, hoping that the rebels outside did not find the two of them.

It can only be said that throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have done this, but how many have succeeded in the end? At least Cao Song didn't succeed.

Holding the fat concubine in his arms, Cao Song and the two trembled in the toilet, begging the rebels outside not to find him, but unfortunately God did not favor him. However, after a while, the rebels found Cao Song and the others who were hiding in the toilet and killed Cao Song. Ying Shao, who was in charge of escorting Cao Song, escaped with his life and went to Yuan Shao. Zhang Min killed Cao Song's entire family, took property, set fire to the temple, and fled to Huainan with 500 people.
