Chapter 343: To go or not to go
Sure enough, three days later, news poured out from all over the place.
Zhou Fan already knew that the sixth year of Zhongping was the most critical year, so as early as the end of last year, people paid close attention to the news in Luoyang, Hedong, Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other places, and now, these news are directly flocking to Chengdu.
Yizhou, Chengdu, State Pastoral Mansion, Council Hall.
At this moment, Zhou Fan is in the first place, and all the civil and military officials below are here, and these people are all Zhou Fan's henchmen, and they are Zhou Fan's team to conquer the world in the future.
"Guys, do you think I should go to this Luoyang or not?" Zhou Fan asked.
Just last night, he received a secret order from Luoyang, and the funniest thing is that this secret order was sent by the great general He Jin.
As for the content, Zhou Fan can guess it without looking at it, it is nothing more than that he knows that the ten permanent servants want to murder He Jin, and at the same time, he also wants to abolish He Jin's nephew Liu Wei and make Liu Xie the emperor. Therefore, I hope that I can send troops to Luoyang, capture and kill the ten permanent servants and others, and defend Liu Wei's throne.
Zhou Fan also knew that in history, in order to be able to kill the eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants, He Jin summoned the former general Dong Zhuo, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Wu Mengdu Lieutenant, and Zhou Mu Ding Yuan and others into Luoyang. But what he didn't expect was that this time He Jin actually called himself too.
Speaking of which, Zhou Fan really felt a little ridiculous.
He is not like that Dong Zhuo, now he is stationed in Hedong, and it is only more than 200 miles to go to Luoyang, if he is prepared, he can arrive in ten days at most. It is estimated that the Taishou of Nadong County is about the same, and it won't take much time, even if it is Ding Yuan, it will be more than half a month at most.
And it's different here, even sending troops from here to Luoyang will take more than a month.
Even if He Jin can hold out until his army arrives, where does he get the confidence that he will help him.
You must know that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He followed Yuan Feng to murder him, although the two sides did not completely tear their faces, but they both understood that they were not right. It would be good if Zhou Fan didn't fall into the well, let alone help him.
"Enlighten the lord, and think that the lord can't go." Zhang Song was the first to stand up and said: "The first emperor has a will, and the lord is not allowed to step into Luoyang, if it is the will of His Majesty now." ordered the lord to enter King Jingqin, then the lord had to go. And now it's just the meaning of the great general He Jin, and the lord can't say anything about it, otherwise he will inevitably fall into the mouth of the tongue when the time comes. ”
Zhou Fan nodded and did not speak. This Zhang Song can be regarded as clever, although he also understands what Zhou Fan thinks about in his heart, but he doesn't have the heart to touch Zhou Fan for the time being, so he doesn't know whether Zhou Fan will be happy or angry when he says something. That's why he said such an official reason, but it can be regarded as a deep heart, and there is no fault and no reward.
But what Zhou Fan wanted was not this answer. The people present are all Zhou Fan's henchmen, so they naturally understand Zhou Fan's ambitions. What he wanted to hear was what they really thought.
"The lowly also thinks that the lord cannot go." Seeing that Zhou Fan didn't speak, Liu Ye also stood up and said: "Then Luoyang is now the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is undoubtedly harmful and unprofitable for the lord to lead troops into Luoyang. ”
"Oh, what did Ziyang say about this?" Zhou Fan asked with a smile, but there was a satisfied expression on his face.
Now the form of Luoyang is also very clear, the people on the side of the general He Jin support the current young emperor Liu Wei, and the ten permanent servants and others support Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, plus the Empress Dowager He. and the constraints of the civil and military officials of the dynasty, now the two sides are also chess opponents, and no one can help anyone. Therefore, the great general He Jin had to summon Dong Zhuo and the lord and others to Luoyang, wanting to rely on the power of the lord to kill the ten permanent servants and others. Maintaining the throne of the young emperor. ”
"And if the lord really goes to Luoyang, he will naturally not be able to stand alone, and he will inevitably support one party, and no matter which side he supports, it will be harmful and useless for the lord. If you help the ten permanent servants, support King Chen Liuwang as the emperor. Then the lord will inevitably fall into the name of a thief, which hinders the reputation of the lord, after all, the young emperor is justifiably inherited the throne of the first emperor, which is really unwise. ”
"The second is to help the general He Jin kill the ten permanent servants and others, and support the current young emperor Liu Wei. However, in this way, with He Jin's character, he must be a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, and the lord helped He Jin stabilize Luoyang, and then He Jin will inevitably bite the lord back, and even frame the lord for a crime of violating the emperor's order, in the end, the lord will not only not get any benefits, but will get fishy. Even if He Jin knew that he didn't frame the lord, then the trouble in Luoyang would be solved, and the lord would have to withdraw his troops and come back, and when the time came, it would just be a trip in vain, and the troops would be lost in vain. Unless ......"
"Unless it's ......" Zhou Fan asked with a smile, he had already guessed what Liu Ye wanted to say.
However, Liu Ye's speculation is also true, and Liu Ye's words have indeed stopped saying all the things that may happen in the future.
With his own ability, if he goes to Luoyang, no matter which party he helps, he can stabilize Luoyang. Whether it is Liu Xie or Liu Wei, as long as he ascends to the throne and is assisted by a number of ministers, this big man will be able to settle down at least for a short time.
However, the problem is here, what Zhou Fan wants now is a troubled world, if this Luoyang is not chaotic, this big man is not chaotic, how can he fish in troubled waters, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, if you go to Luoyang now, you won't get half of the benefits at all, but you will be stuck there if you are not careful, so it is better to watch quietly in Yizhou and wait for the opportunity to come.
"Unless the lord is willing to do that great rebellion!" Liu Ye whispered.
"Hahaha!" Immediately, Zhou Fan laughed directly and said: "I, Zhou Fan, am deeply favored by the emperor, how can I do such a big rebellious thing, Ziyang can't talk nonsense." ”
The so-called great rebellion is not what Dong Zhuo did, controlling the government and abolishing the new emperor, how could Zhou Fan do such a thing.
Not to mention that he had already promised Lu Zhi that he would not take the initiative to do that messy thing, even if he didn't have this matter, he wouldn't dare. Look at Dong Zhuo in history, and finally fell into a reputation, the national thief Dong Zhuo, I don't know how many people want to kill him and then hurry up.
What he Zhou Fan wants is to be famous for eternity, and definitely not to leave a stench for thousands of years, and to ruin a lifetime for a momentary pleasure is definitely a fool's behavior.
"It's a gaffe." Liu Ye hurriedly said, but there was no panic on his face.
They are also clear about Zhou Fan's thoughts. If you go straight to Luoyang now, you will be able to get the world and establish a new dynasty, I believe that Zhou Fan will definitely do it without saying a word, it can only be said that it is not a good time now. (To be continued.) )
