Yan Xing's words were not complete, after Dong Zhuo took charge of the government, a large number of scholars were promoted, among which Cai Yong and Xun Shuang, who enjoyed high fame, disregarded the previous promotion conventions, but waved their hands, Cai Yong and Xun Shuang, these celebrities rose to the top, and were promoted one after another within a few days.

This is not only Dong Zhuo's intention to show that although he is a martial artist, he also advocates literary style and is willing to share the government with scholars, and he is not in the right position, just like Yuan Shao was also uneasy after attacking the palace province. A group of party members led by Yuan Shao have chosen not to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, who abolished the Son of Heaven, so Dong Zhuo can only desperately win over other scholars who seem to be neutral at present, among which those famous people in the sea are the objects of his best efforts.

Dong Zhuo's own strength is not weak, but it is only in the military advantage, after entering the imperial court, in the face of the huge Han court, just like a yak entering the porcelain shop, not only can not run wantonly, but also be careful to prevent these porcelain that are regarded as rare treasures. The method he used to use to lead the army and fight had little effect in the face of these cases and government affairs in the imperial court, so in addition to using power techniques to win over some of the courtiers, he could only continue to rely on scholars to maintain the current crumbling imperial court like He Jin and others.

Although it seems that Dong Jun's momentum is full at the moment, Dong Zhuo's power is also in full swing, Cao Yuan and others are willing to make friends with them, although there are like-minded factors, but Dong Jun is mainly anti-guest, and the fact that he has controlled the Luoyang Imperial Court is also a major reason. But Dong Zhuo couldn't rely on his own power to control the court, and the Yuan brothers were not willing to live under the people, one side was deliberately wooed and fearful, and the other side was superficially cooperating and secretly stumbling. The two sides can still stand side by side now, but they just lack a fuse, and the situation of division is becoming more and more clear in the joy of the court.

Yan Xing didn't say it explicitly, but his words also aroused other people's ideas, and Yan Xing became more mature and stable after his trip to Liangzhou, and he suddenly said softly:

"The intentions of the princes of the imperial court were good, but the generals and soldiers in the army had some complaints, such as Niu, Dong, Xu, Duan and other lieutenants were just expressed as a lieutenant general, and many sons and daughters rushed all the way to King Qin's rescue, but they received little fame, and the military heart is important!"

Gan Ling also looked at Yan Xing and nodded, obviously agreeing with Yan Xing's opinion as well. Yan Xing knew what Gan Ling meant, he wrinkled his brows, indeed as they said, Dong Zhuo in order to maintain the balance of the court, was deliberately tilting the balance towards those scholars above the court, although it was just to buy people's hearts, but in the eyes of the generals in the army, it became a bit of a sense of favoritism.

Once Dong Zhuo and the scholars split, not only will Dong Zhuo, who thinks highly of himself and cannot tolerate betrayal, be furious, but these suppressed by Dong Zhuo's prestige are all soldiers and horses from other towns who have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing for fame and fortune, and they will soon show their true colors.

Yan Xing knew what the final tragic consequences of this kind of thing were, so he didn't follow Yan Xing's intentions, but turned his head to look at Zhou Liang, who was riding a horse on the side, thoughtful, but silent.

Zhou Liang is a newcomer who came from Li Ru's account, but when he was in Sanfu, he secretly cooperated with himself in private and surrendered to himself. He is like a single-plank bridge on the edge of a cliff, his position is quite awkward, but his role cannot be ignored. Yan Xing has always paid attention to this only scribe under his account, and he also knows that Zhou Liang is quite quick and eloquent, so he also treats him politely, although in some urgent matters, he still only discusses with Gan Ling, Yan Xing, and Ma Lin.

"Yuan Shan, how do you look at the three members of the Northern Army?"

Yan Xing talked a lot with Cao Yuan, and he learned that Cao Yuan had a city government in his chest, was calm and thoughtful, and was quite capable of leading troops and using soldiers, and faintly had the demeanor of a general. But Wei Xuan and Meng Tu couldn't talk to each other, but from Meng Tu's drunkenness and singing and dancing, and Wei Xuan's indignation and discoloration when he witnessed the knight's murder on horseback, it was inferred that they were all people who valued righteousness, ambition, and chivalry, and although Zhou Liang didn't talk much in their conversation, the bystanders were clear, so Yan Xing was talking about Yan Xing's deep topic just now, and he also intended to learn from Zhou Liang's mouth his evaluation of the three Cao Yuan who had just befriended.

Zhou Liang pinched the sparse beard under his chin, thought about it, and began to say with a deep groan:

"Cao Jun is a person who acts calmly and moderately, calmly and thoughtfully, and is indeed a promising style, but observing the change in his expression, Cao Jun is also a person who pursues fame and fortune!"

Yan Xing nodded, he could also feel that while Cao Yuan was stable and moderate, he actually had a strong desire to pursue fame and fortune in his heart. This is not unusual, the fashion of the day is like this, the people of the time are generous and eloquent, but also do not hide their desire for fame and wealth, on the contrary, those who do not have a strong enterprising spirit, and poor and destitute, will be more despised by the world.

When Han Xin was not famous, "he was poor and had no line, he could not be elected as an official, and he could not govern businessmen. The wife of Zhu Maichen, a famous minister in the former Han Dynasty, also said resolutely to her husband who could only study and sell firewood, and did not grow up: "If you wait for the public, you will eventually starve to death in the ditch, how can you be rich!" "The wind is like this, a person is poor and difficult, will be despised by others, so every person with lofty ideals has to work hard in order to get ahead, sharpen his reputation, and pursue meritorious service.

Just like the master father Yan in the former Han Wu Emperor period, when he faced others to persuade him to be too utilitarian, he said calmly: "The minister has been studying for more than 40 years, and he is unsuccessful, his relatives do not think of him as a son, Kundi does not accept it, the guests abandon me, and I am doomed for a long time." And the husband is not born with five tripods, and dies with five tripods. Liang Zhu of this dynasty also issued a similar emotion when he climbed high and looked into the distance, "The eldest husband lives in the world, he is born as a marquis, and he dies as a temple food." If not, you can raise your mind by living idle, and "poems" and "books" are enough to entertain yourself, and the duties of the state and county are in vain. ”

One is to pursue Wuding food and Wuding cooking, and the other is to be born as a feudal marquis and die as a temple food. It is good to say that they are too utilitarian, or that they are active and energetic, but the current atmosphere is mostly like this, especially in people like Yan Xing and Cao Yuan, who have great ambitions and are not famous, which can be reflected. Although Cao Yuan said that he was a distant branch of the Cao family, even if it was a branch of the Cao family, their family's Pingyang marquis title had been severed, but from the fact that he still wanted to be the descendant of Cao Shen, a famous minister who founded the previous dynasty, it can be seen that he was fighting in the army, and he was rushing to take advantage of the chaos in the world to make meritorious contributions, make meritorious deeds, and revitalize the glory of the former family.

Yan Xing is the same kind of person as him, so he can understand Cao Yuan, a military man who pursues utilitarianism, and can also tolerate a literati like Zhou Liang who is greedy for money and lustful and has a loss of virtue, he looked indifferent, and said to Zhou Liang:

"Keep talking!"

Zhou Liang did not hide it either, he continued:

"As for Wei and Meng Erjun, although they are both straightforward and heroic warriors, the subdivisions are different, Wei Jun is righteous, and Meng Jun is ambitious."

Speaking of this, Zhou Liang didn't finish his words, but Yan Xing also understood what he meant, in Zhou Liang's opinion, the righteous can not love their bodies and go to the hardships of the soldiers, while the ambitious people are ambitious and dare to do things that ordinary people dare not do. The Han style is heroic, and Zhou Liang, like most people, prefers those young and strong people who dare to speak up.

"Shaojun, the army is recruiting Baibo, but I don't know which troops and horses to use?"

After listening to Zhou Liang's evaluation of Cao, Wei, and Meng's pursuit of meritorious service, Gan Ling also tugged at his heartstrings and asked Yan Xing. Nowadays, there are really a lot of soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang, not only Cao Yuan and others want to make meritorious contributions, but Ganling They also have the strength to show their skills, plus he also knows how much Yan Xing wants to stay in Dong Ying, so he also has this question.

"When he entered Beijing before, Taiwei had already left Niu Zhonglang to lead his troops to be stationed in Hedong, if nothing else, he must have drawn the elite from the various armies in Luoyang, and the two converged and marched together."

"In this way, then we will also have the opportunity to enter the east of the river to crusade against the Baibo and Huns!"

"Exactly, in the past, Emperor Xiaowen once said to General Li, 'Cherish the vast and untimely, so that when the ancestors are born, how can the marquis of ten thousand households be enough!' If there is chaos today, our generation is at the right time, and we should work together, make contributions on the battlefield, and make contributions to him! ”

Yan Xing'an sat on his horse and said in a generous voice. Gan Ling, Ma Lin and others were also infected by his emotions, and they all became vigorous, spurred their horses, and responded loudly:

"If you want to make meritorious contributions and make a name for yourself on the battlefield, and the husband is in the world, you should make contributions immediately, and make him a marquis of ten thousand households!"
