"How many dog officials have just come, who is close to whom, who is watching from the side, who is interceding for Yuan Ciyang, you all come out one by one. Wen You, you go and watch them for Lonely, don't let people cheat for personal gain. ”

After many officials came to persuade him one after another, and Huangfu Song knelt and kowtowed, Dong Zhuo returned to Xiangguo Mansion in a carriage, and when he got off the carriage, a middle-aged man with a calm temperament who jumped off the horse to the side gave a few instructions.

Although the matter against Yuan Kui this time was a temporary intention this morning, Dong Zhuo was also fully prepared, and almost all of his staff henchmen and the Flying Bear Army were dispatched, at this time, listening to the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps of the men and horses under his command leaving, Dong Zhuo held his round belly, looked up at the gate of the golden Xiangguo Mansion, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

I still remember that at the end of November of the previous year, with the new emperor ascending the throne, he still lived in the palace, but the gang of corrupt Confucians led by Yuan Kui in the court were really messing around, if he hadn't retreated to Xiangguo Mansion under the pretense of Liu Bei's assassination, I don't know how much trouble he would encounter.

This matter is said to be his knowledge of current affairs, but it also means that he seems to cover the sky with one hand, but in fact he is still restrained by others, and he has been living in Xiangguo Mansion since then, which means that he has not made an inch of progress in this year...... The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this Xiangguo Mansion was not as big as the palace after all, and it was not as heroic as the palace, but when he thought of the maintenance of Yuan Kui by those people today, he knew that it was difficult and he had a long way to go if he wanted to live in the palace justifiably.

However, after a while, he suddenly laughed, walked towards Xiangguo's Mansion, and said in a relaxed tone: "Spirit God, do you think that those dog officials will think that Gu Zhen is calm?" ”

Zuo Ling, who was accompanying him, bent down slightly, took small steps and said with a smile: "Xiangguo's mind is as unpredictable as the heavens. How can those dog officers be accurate? ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and made a few gestures towards the crowd around him, and it didn't take long for only Zuo Ling and Jia Xu to follow him.

The three of them walked towards the backyard, several concubines who had been looking forward to it came over with flowers, Dong Zhuo greeted them with a smile, and after taking advantage of a few handfuls, he looked at Jia Xu who was angry with his head down, so he also dispersed the concubines, and then walked towards a gazebo with his hands in his hands.

"This time, Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, hum...... Lone is very satisfied. If there is a reason to kill Yuan Kui, those corrupt Confucians can also stop a little. Second, Yuan Shao is just a person who talks about war on paper, intrigue, Lone may be afraid of him for three points, if it is a war - ten Yuan Shao plus those disciples and protégés of the Yuan family, Lone is not afraid of anything. ”

In a proud tone, Dong Zhuo strode forward and said with a smile: "Heh, those stupid people in the east...... Lone didn't know how to say they were good. At such times, where is the truth of who has a good family background and who is in charge. It's not a mouthful, a war, it's natural to use a good fighter as the commander. Now it's good, their chess is a bad move, so that Gu finally has some confidence in his heart. ”

"What do you mean by Xiangguo? You have scheming people like Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Li Su on the left, and there are tiger generals like Huaxiong, Lu Bu, and Xu Rong on the right, and the Flying Bear Army and Liangzhou Iron Cavalry under your command are even more brave, and those stragglers in the east, what are you afraid of? Zuo Ling looked flattering, "The generals were divided into various places before, Zuo was full of confidence, and Xiangguo is only now confident?" ”

"You're talking. Pleasing the lonely. Dong Zhuo stood under the gazebo, laughed, and then his somewhat bloated face narrowed, "I still know how many catties and taels I have." Don't say these flattering words, when it's time to contribute, you still have to contribute. ”

Seeing that Zuo Ling was extremely knowledgeable and slightly positive, Dong Zhuo's face was soothing, and then he glanced back and forth on the faces of Jia Xu and Zuo Ling, who had been silent, turned around, pressed his hands on his stomach, and patted his ten fingers rhythmically a few times, "A few days ago, Gu has been dealing with those dog officials, and I didn't have time to talk to you, in fact, I have been annoyed all the time. Now that I have the opportunity, I have the opportunity to talk to you. ”

Zuo Ling Jia Xu leaned forward slightly, Dong Zhuo's expression was slightly lost, and he said: "Lonely is thinking, those people in the east are going to die alone, and there are many people in the court who think like this." These are the two largest groups of people. And it's not for nothing...... Don't think that if you don't care about anything, you will know how to eat and drink...... Actually, it's all pretended to be shown to others. The thieves in the Baibo Valley in the north are worried about it. ”

"Today, the third day of the fourth month...... Counting, they made trouble at the beginning of the year, right? Raised 30,000 troops to attack the two counties of Taiyuan and Hanoi...... The lonely faction Niu Fu has been going for more than a month with 10,000 people, and he hasn't come back yet, and there is not even much news of the big victory. Lonely is also worried. ”

"Huangfu Song's trouble has been solved. Chang'an is now counted in a lonely hand, and there is still a way out. But the northeast side is now boring...... South...... Do not think that the south is safe. I wanted to say last time, it's a good thing that Liu Biao doesn't make a difference, and Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang, and it's also a good thing to bite the meat in Liu Biao's mouth. ”

But Liu Biao is the soft mud stuck to the wall, just thinking about occupying the palm-sized place that he sticked, and now that Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang, he will never openly attack Yuan Shu without knowing the times. And at this time, although Yuan Shu has some ambitions, it is also impossible to make any extraneous branches, no matter what, he will definitely fight Si Li. ”

Dong Zhuo paused from time to time, sometimes spoke, finished these words slowly, and then looked at the sunset hanging on the courtyard wall in the distance, squinting his eyes, "Lone has always known that Lone is now the situation of the former Chu Overlord in Wujiang, which can be described as a tiger and a wolf." It seems that he can still be safe here, and at any time a wave hits, and the lonely ship will turn over. So, I'm thinking, why don't you move the capital? Go to Chang'an. It's close to Liangzhou, and these people don't have any background, so they can stabilize the good situation we have obtained by being alone. ”

Dong Zhuo didn't stop when he talked about the word "moving the capital", but Zuo Ling took a deep breath, he subconsciously looked at Jia Xu beside him, noticed Jia Xu's unchanged expression, and gasped again, thinking that Jia Wen and the Prime Minister would have guessed it a long time ago when they said such shocking words?

Zuo Lingping has some dealings with Jia Xu, and he also knows that Jia Xu has always done things in a decent manner, and only a few times will have some strange schemes, but in fact, he is extremely well versed in people's hearts and will do the golden mean to the extreme.

Dong Zhuo saw that the two of them didn't move, turned his head, and his face sank slightly, "What, Lone's idea, you don't agree?" ”

Seeing Jia Xu bending over, Zuo Ling also hurriedly bent down and said, "Don't dare." ”

Before the words fell, he heard Jia Xu say loudly: "I don't dare to agree." ”

The comparison of the two sentences is like a difference between clouds and mud, Zuo Ling is still ashamed that he can't compare to Jia Xu's advance and retreat, so he heard Jia Xu ask: "I don't know, Xiangguo's idea is the first time to say it to others?" ”

"There are not many people who can trust the staff under the lonely command. Wen You is the person who will support Lone when he orders it, and Lone knows it even if he asks. The rest of the people, Lonely, did not dare to believe it. This is the first time I've talked to you two. ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and looked at Jia Xu, who had a rather calm expression, "Wenhe, Gu Shi also knows that moving the capital is a good strategy, but he suffers from not having a good plan to solve this situation. I've thought about it a lot before, and I always feel that Niu Fu can't solve the matter of the white wave thief, and as time goes by, we will only suffer from the enemy. Since you don't agree, you ask if Lone has spread the word about it, and if you have already thought of a way to solve the situation? It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"Xiangguo, Jia has actually been worried about this matter, and has been thinking about it for a long time, but he has not been able to find a chance to talk to Xiangguo before, and today he has the opportunity, although Jia has no good plan, but he also has a heartfelt word."

Jia Xu gave up his hand, and after Dong Zhuo unexpectedly said "oh", he said in a deep voice: "If Jia's expectations are correct, Xiangguo mentioned the south, and it was not Yuan Shu who was worried, but Sun Jian, who is now attached to Yuan Shu?" ”

Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this, and said with his chin bowed: "Hmm." Or Wen and Zhigu's mind. Sun Jian used to be a staff officer in the Huangfu Song army, and he was quite strategic, and his courage and strategy were also outstanding. What made Lone's heart most unsettling was that when he followed Huangfu Song in Chang'an in the past, he thought about dying. This man is the most troublesome. ”

"With him here, whether it is with Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, or whether it is from Yuyuan Pass or Bishui Pass, it is very likely that he will attack Luoyang - Lone will not hide it from you, this person's military strategy, in Lone's heart, is already on par with Lone, Lone is jealous in his heart, and he wishes he would die as soon as possible...... If it weren't for the loss of face if it weren't for the lonely relatives, it would also affect the situation in Luoyang, and I couldn't wait to bring troops over to destroy him as soon as possible. Does Wen He have a plan for this person? ”

"It's not easy to get killed, but Jia can guarantee that once Sun Jian has the possibility of attacking Si Li, he will be constrained by Yuan Shu and give up halfway."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and Zuo Ling also looked at Jia Xu with a suspicious expression.

"Jia sent some people to collect the situation of the Yuan family a few days ago, and he also had the courage to look through the policies collected by Xiangguo about the Yuan family. From this, Jia learned that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had always been suspected of being young and old, and the two had many disputes because of their life experience, and they did not like each other. Although Sun Jian belongs to Yuan Shu, since the alliance leader is Yuan Shao, once Sun Jian breaks away from Yuan Shu and goes north to attack, there will be a gap in this, which can make Yuan Shu think that Sun Jian is doing things for Yuan Shao, so as to prevent Sun Jian from making meritorious contributions. This is one of them. ”

Jia Xu said without changing his face, and after a slight pause, his tone was still calm, "Second, Jia has thought about it carefully, and among these people, Sun Jian's handsome talents are ranked in the top few. If he wins, his reputation will be great, but he will also be suspected of being a master of high merit. Yuan Shu is known to tolerate people, and his background is rare in the world, but when it is very rare, it may not have the strength of extraordinary people, and there is also an opportunity to take advantage of it. This is the strategy to attack the heart, and Jia does not dare to guarantee that it will be successfully completed, but it is simple to let Sun Jian's momentum exhaust and give up halfway...... Naturally, all of this is Sun Jiansheng's situation, and in Jia's opinion, whether Sun Jian can win or not has to be said separately. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, his face soothed, and Zuo Ling hurriedly nodded, "What Brother Wen He said is extremely true. Xiangguo, this south can be regarded as a solution? ”

Dong Zhuo rubbed his right hand on his stomach, but shook his head, "No." This is a situation that I can handle, if I attack from three sides, plus there are people in Luoyang who are restless, and we have no skills, it will still be the same. ”

Zuo Ling's expression froze, he looked at Jia Xu, and saw that Jia Xu glanced at him expressionlessly, and his eyes flickered a few times with some embarrassment, so he heard Jia Xu continue: "Xiangguo is worried. However, as Xiangguo said, Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, and the power of the entire coalition army was reduced by a few percent, and it may not be possible. Naturally, regarding this matter, Jia also has some humble opinions. Jia remembers, hasn't Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian been paying tribute? Since the anti-thieves in the east began to slander the reputation of Xiangguo, Xuzhou was not under the control of Xiangguo, and Xiangguo might as well seal Tao Qian as Xuzhou's pastor, so as to lure him and make the entire coalition force detached from Germany. ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo nodded, thought for a moment, and saw that Jia Xu didn't speak again, so he said the idea he had just received the inspiration, "This matter is still to be discussed, but when Wen He said this, Gu thought of it, aren't they more than ten people, Taishou, Thorn Shi, and Zhou Mu are all all the way...... I thought that if I waited for the edict, the history of the assassin of Yuzhou and the history of the assassin of Yanzhou would be the state pastor...... Let them fight for power again. Naturally, whether they are state pastors or not depends on their own attitudes. ”

"Xiangguo Takami!" Zuo Ling sent his compliments in time, and seeing that Jia Xu was not salty and indifferent, he was a little proud of his own wisdom and self-preservation, so he thought about it, and saw Jia Xu glance at him again, there was no emotion in that look, but it made him suddenly a little stunned.

"In addition, we can also ask the court officials to go and tell them to disarm and surrender. Invite a few well-known but insignificant people, preferably relatives and friends from those in the east, and bring some letters from the ministers of the DPRK and China, which can be copied or written directly to them. It would be nice to see what happens to those people in the east. Jia Xu said again.

Dong Zhuo also nodded again, seeing that Jia Xu was speechless again, he remembered Jia Xu's consistent style, and smiled, "Wenhe, you will make your words clear once." Lone is a rough person, not as jealous as those who are sloppy and rotten, your ability, Lone has always believed. At this time, the situation is tense, and the lonely heart is uneasy, and the head is about to burst. I won't hide it from you, these people in the DPRK and China, Gu are thinking about using human flesh to deter them, where are they still in the mood to follow your words. ”

Hearing about eating human flesh, it was a few times in the army in the past, Zuo Ling's face was still slightly stiff, but he heard Jia Xu say indifferently: "Xiangguo's plan is not a good way." ”

Listening to Dong Zhuo laughing, the corners of Zuo Ling's mouth twitched a few times, and his scalp tingled.

Jia Xu paused, "As for the north, Jia doesn't know how to be a good ......" He suddenly gave up his hand and said: "Xiangguo, Jia has the courage to recommend himself, and he also asked Xiangguo to give me 3,000 men and horses, so that I can help General Niu." ”

"It's rare for Wen He to think so much about Lonely, so this matter will be handed over to you." Dong Zhuo patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, looking relieved, and then said solemnly: "Gu Zai asked Xu Rong and Guo Yan to assist you and go to help Niu Fu together." However, Wenhe, Lone also bluntly said that Lone can not give you much time, at most another month. Naturally, if you feel like you can't do anything, write to us immediately. Thinking about it, if the White Wave Army is not removed, we will eventually have to worry about our lives, and as soon as your letter arrives, Lone will prepare to move the capital. ”

"Wen He understands." Hearing Jia Xu nodded, Zuo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the matter had finally passed, and was about to leave with a few perfunctory words, when he raised his head, he heard Jia Xu say: "However, Xiangguo, in this matter, there is actually another variable, Jia has not understood the details, and he does not dare to speculate at will." I also have to ask Brother Ling to help you go through the details, and then give Xiangguo an answer. ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned, Zuo Ling chuckled in his heart, but he also knew what the variables Jia Xu was talking about, and he always felt a little pressure in his heart to make suggestions in front of Dong Zhuo, so he secretly slandered Jia Xu a few words at this time, and then asked stubbornly: "What Brother Wen He said, could it be the two brothers Liu Zheng and Liu Bei?" ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly narrowed, "Liu Bei, hum!" If you want to catch Lone, Lone will definitely break him into pieces! ”

Dong Zhuo heard Zuo Ling talk about the matter of Youzhou in detail, although Liu Bei's role in this matter did not play a big role, but Gongsun Du died, it is a fact that Liu Yu controlled Youzhou, Liu Bei failed to seize the opportunity to kill Liu Yu, and he didn't even explain a word afterwards, so he was naturally hated by Dong Zhuo.

What's more, now that Liu He is back, there are rumors about Liu Yu's control of Youzhou and the surrender of many alien races, seeing Liu Yu calling for wind and rain in Youzhou, and there are many people in the court who are sprawling and rotten like they have been beaten up and pointed fingers at Dong Zhuo, and even this morning there are people who want to find an opportunity to contact Gongsun Fan, although Dong Zhuo listened to Jia Xu Zuoling's persuasion and was ready to make some fuss about Gongsun Fan, but he was scolded by Gongsun Fan in the morning, and there were many problems in Yuan Kui after that. Thinking about it again, Gongsun Fan is likely to become a fit for the court and Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and other coalition forces, so he hates Liu Bei even more for his inaction in Youzhou.

Jia Xu ignored Dong Zhuo's indignation, and said to Zuo Ling: "Jia is talking about Liu Zheng and Gongsun Zhan. Xiangguo, I always feel that Yuan Shao and Liu Dai will swear to elect the leader of the alliance without waiting for Gongsun Zan and Liu Zheng, which will make the two of them unhappy. Although Liu Yu also participated in the rebellion, as the Great Sima, it was not wrong for Yuan Shao and others to support him. But Gongsun Chan and Liu Zheng are the key to Liu Yu's unification of Youzhou, if these two do not cooperate with Yuan Shao and others, with Liu Zheng's temperament, as well as Gongsun Zhan's bravery, the rebellion in the east is actually very variable. Jia even felt that it was very likely to fall short. ”

Jia Xu said this and looked over again, Zuo Ling gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Xiangguo, Zuo Mou is brave, in fact...... Zuo Mou has been trying to talk about it since he came back from Youzhou, I'll wait...... In fact, it is very likely to persuade Liu Zheng! ”

Since the fight came back, Zuo Ling has actually been talking about persuading Liu Zheng to surrender, but Xu Rong has an old relationship with Gongsun Du, and Dong Zhuo is also quite satisfied with the matter of arranging Gongsun Du to contain Liu Yu in Liaodong, and when he learned that Gongsun Du died, Dong Zhuo can be described as thunderous and angry, and he has always been angry that Liu Zheng and Gongsun Zhan helped Liu Yu pacify Youzhou.

After Dong Zhuo learned about the rumors circulating by Liu He here, he also laughed with Xu Rong and others many times for Liu Zheng and Gongsun Zhan, who were crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and fell into the well for the two, which also caused Zuo Ling not to dare to speak at will.

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he saw this scene, but he didn't say anything, and looked at Jia Xu, "Lingshen's experience on this trip, I've seen it alone, and Wen He has also seen it?" ”

Seeing Jia Xu nodding, Dong Zhuo nodded, and the words changed, "That Wenhe thinks that Liu Zheng can hold this variable in his hand?" Gu Ke has always remembered the incident of the Black Mountain army in Luoyang, as well as the incident of Youzhou, if this person comes...... It's hard to be alone. ”

"It's not a secret, and Jia doesn't know. At least not yet. ”

Dong Zhuo frowned, "When will it be?" ”

"Wait for one of Yuan Kui, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun to die, or wait for him to meet with Yuan Shao and others." Jia Xu said in a light tone: "His Zhongxing sword was awarded by the first emperor together with He Jin and Yuan Kui. As soon as Yuan Kui died, he could cut off the usefulness of the Zhongxing Sword in his hand. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have an old relationship with him, and they can't hide it...... Fang Cai Huangfu Song stepped forward, although there was Yuan Kui's identity there, but Jia always felt that he also wanted to leave a witness for Liu Zheng's Zhongxing Sword - even if he didn't, we might also create this matter, see how Liu Zheng reacts. ”

He paused, "And Zhu Jun had a lot of difficulties for him in the past under Wancheng, Zhu Jun died, Liu Zhengruo clapped his hands and applauded, what is his real character, we can also see seventy or eighty." As for his meeting with Yuan Shao and others...... Kong Ling and Yuan Yu have long been malicious towards him, and if Yuan Shao does not allow it, he will have nowhere to go. ”

"And Yuan Shu?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"Xiangguo, Nanyang Liu Zheng can't go for the time being. The impact of the Beijing view can be quite long-lasting. ”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Dong Zhuo suddenly realized, and hurriedly nodded his chin to signal Jia Xu to continue, Jia Xu lowered his eyelids and was silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, there is another way." If that method is feasible, we will also have the opportunity to win over Liu Zheng. ”

"Huh?"

"Xun's. As long as the Xun family comes to anyone who is close to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng will be shackled, and I will ...... in the future."

Jia Xu was talking, and suddenly saw a servant walking in quickly, and the servant ran closer, and hurriedly said: "Lord, General Lu is here again, and he wants to ask for a battle to go to Bishui Pass to fight against the thief......

Before the words fell, in the corridor leading to the backyard, a big man strode in and shouted in a rough voice: "Xiangguo! Lu is a certain level of martial arts, and if he stays in Luoyang, he is about to rust like a halberd in his hand! If you want me to say, you will let General Hu come back, and Lu will only take 3,000 wolf riders from Bingzhou, and he will definitely kill the gang of Xiaoxiao in the east without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Under the setting sun, the big man walked with a tiger, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and the halberd blade drew a few streamers in the air as it advanced, shining brightly.
