Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Majestic Voice Filled the Hall
Xu You is a famous man in Nanyang, quite resourceful, and became famous earlier, and has friendships with He Hao, Cao Cao and others in the past. But this person has a black history, in the past, he teamed up with Jizhou Thorn Shi Wang Fen, Peiguo Zhou Jing and others to plan the abolition of the establishment, and wanted to change Hefei Hou as the emperor. After the matter was revealed, Wang Fen committed suicide in fear of sin, and Xu You fled. At that time, Xu You invited Cao Cao to participate in this matter, but Cao Cao refused.
Now Xu You is being made a guest by Yuan Shaona, but he is not awarded an official and a half-post, thinking that he was affected by the 'abolition' of the year.
Xu Youxian is Yuan Shao's most trusted mastermind at the moment, and after listening to what he said, Yuan Shao's face turned slightly pale, and he motioned for Xu You to continue.
So Xu You made a rough list of the current situation of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. Let's talk about Yuan Shao's own side first, the Northern Army, the City Gate, Huben, and the Xiyuan armies are all in the hands of Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, and before the general He Jin was killed, there were no less than 10,000 of them. It is a pity that after the death of the general, some of them died in the battle when attacking the palace province and cutting off the eunuchs in the city, and because the soldiers and soldiers in the capital were not the elite of a hundred battles, the military discipline was very worrying, especially when attacking the luxurious and magnificent palace, many soldiers directly turned into robbers, robbed the jewels and ran away. This part of the people is even more than those killed in battle. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, united with He Jin's subordinates Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang to attack and kill the chariot general He Miao, and then Dong Min persuaded Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang to join Dong Zhuo's side.
On the positive side, among the five people who returned to their hometowns to recruit troops on He Jin's orders, Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, and Duwei Wuqiu Yi did not rush back, but Wang Kuang and Bao Xin brought more than 1,000 people back to Beijing, plus the people brought by Xu Chu, it was a good supplement for Yuan Shao.
Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang's anti-water to Dong Zhuo Xu Chu had just learned about it, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Dong Zhuo's luck is really good.
Not only Xu Chu, but everyone here feels this way.
Xu You then talked about Dong Zhuo's side, and the first sentence was: "Dong Zhuo Lao Ge, a domineering person, is also lucky, let him take advantage of the void." ”
Xu Chu couldn't help but cough softly. Xu You didn't imply him, but in fact, he, like Dong Zhuo, was lucky with the times, and he was able to suddenly emerge and become a big or small force. Xu Chu has a thin foundation, so even if he relies on the knowledge of later generations to get some talents, he only has to be a 'two thousand stones' too guarded, Dong Zhuo has a solid foundation, and he suddenly became a figure who can influence the situation in the four seas.
Xu You said that Dong Zhuo had three coincidences. First, He Jin and Yuan Shaozhao entered Beijing outside the town, which was unprecedented in this dynasty, and was met by Dong Zhuo; the second is that He Jin was actually murdered by political enemies before Dong Zhuo arrived in Luoyang, causing chaos in Kyoto; The third is that the Son of Heaven was coincidental and coerced out of the palace by Zhang Rang and other eunuchs to go to Xiaopingjin in the north of the city, which must be passed through Xianyang Yuan, which is closer to Dong Zhuo in the west of the city.
Three coincidences caused Dong Zhuo to 'inexplicably' successfully welcome the Son of Heaven back to the palace, and successfully replaced all the guards in the palace with his own people, and when Yuan Shao reacted, the opportunity had been lost.
Xu You analyzed the situation in this way, and then returned to the previous theme - Dong Zhuo has 3,000 soldiers, and there is still room for change.
Among the 3,000 people, although 1,000 are cavalry, and they are good at riding and archery, and dare to fight to the death, but in Luoyang City, it is difficult for cavalry to exert his advantages. And Yuan Kuigui is the prince, he can easily enter the palace province to get in touch with the Empress Dowager He or the Son of Heaven, even if Dong Zhuo is well guarded, Yuan Kui does not have the opportunity to see the Empress Dowager or the Son of Heaven alone, he can still launch another palace coup in the name of the 'Three Princes'. As long as their own side works together, the odds of victory should be relatively large, and the key is whether Yuan Kui, Yuan Shu, and those scholars in Beijing can reach an agreement with Yuan Shao in addition to Yuan Shao.
In this way, Dong Zhuo could be driven out of Luoyang when he was not firmly established.
Xu You's tirade analyzed the strength of the enemy and us in Beijing, and also said several key points, such as Xu Chu, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and other people who fought hard secretly agreed.
Yuan Shao hesitated and hesitated: "If it fails, the general trend will go." ”
Seeing this, Cao Cao said: "At the beginning, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, although he poured out of the nest, but a large number of troops did not have time to enter Beijing, and gathered on the front line of Mianchi and Anyi, there were tens of thousands. This is the best time for us to drive Dong out of Beijing, and we must not hesitate. ”
Yuan Shao was still silent, and Bao Xin hurriedly said: "On the way back to the palace by Fengtianzi, Xin and Xu Taishou have already investigated clearly, and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing in a hurry this time. The brave generals under his command, only Zhonglang accompanied Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, such as Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou and other generals, were not in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo's current available people are only Xu Rong, Hu Zhen and their brother Dong Min, and the subordinates must not miss the opportunity! ”
Those generals under Dong Zhuo's command were not unknown people at that time, and any one of them was a martial artist with a weak reputation or a 'fierce reputation'. This has a lot to do with Dong Zhuo's resume, Dong Zhuo has participated in a lot of wars in his life, in the ninth year of Yanxi (166 AD), the Xianbei people entered the fortress, Dong Zhuo followed the Huns Zhonglang who was then to quell the rebellion in Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou; In the winter of the following year, Dong Zhuo broke through the Qiang people who invaded the land of Sanfu and captured tens of thousands of people; After that, until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo had been serving on the border of the Han Dynasty. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Zhi was dismissed from office due to the eunuch frame, and Dong Zhuo succeeded him in crusading against the Yellow Turban in Jizhou; In the winter of the same year, he was transferred to the land of Sanfu to quell the rebellion that broke out among the Liangzhou people such as Han Sui and Bian Zhang. Last year, there was another rebellion in Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo was entrusted with an important task to quell the rebellion.
Just looking at this resume, you can know that Dong Zhuo is definitely experienced in a hundred battles, and the veterans of his generals who follow him to fight in all directions, how can they be easy to match? Just give two examples: Duan Xuan, a native of Wuwei, the younger brother of the Duan Xi clan who is one of the Taiwei and Liangzhou Sanming, was born in a general and led the troops well; Li Dao and Guo Yan, the former is good at using soldiers, brave and treacherous, the latter is born as a horse thief, and also has the talent of soldiers.
Bao Xin has always held a martial arts position, and has studied many martial artists in the world, and the people he said have heard of in the hall, except for Xu Chu and Xi Zhong, who have just arrived in Luoyang. Cao Cao participated in the battle to pacify the Yellow Turbans, and witnessed the bravery of the generals under Dong Zhuo, and deeply believed what Bao Xin said.
These people don't have to go to Luoyang entirely, only half of them come, and Yuan Shao's side will have no difficulty driving Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang.
Cao Cao and Bao Xin spoke hard, Chen said it was powerful, and Yuan Shao's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he paced repeatedly in the hall.
Wang Kuang, Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, and Gao Gan were silent, and their words had been thoroughly explained by Xu You, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin, and how to make a decision was Yuan Shao's business after all.
Xun Yu really wanted to say a few words, but firstly, he and Zhong Xuan were not members of the Yuan Party in the real sense, secondly, the intimacy with Yuan Shao was far inferior to others, and thirdly, what he was planning now was a military affair, and Xun Yu had not yet made any achievements in military affairs, so even if he said it, it was not enough, so it was better not to say it.
Xun Yu and Zhong Yu didn't say anything, their old acquaintance Xu Chu stood up.
Xu Chu didn't like to wear a crown, so he only straightened his robe, his eyes swept the hall, and Fang said slowly: "Si Li, you are highly talented, you have something to say below." ”
The voice was flat, the tone was gentle, Yuan Shao and the others didn't know what Xu Chu was going to say, and they all looked at Xu Chu with questions in their eyes.
Yuan Shao said: "Zhongkang has something to say, please say it." ”
Xu Chu's face changed suddenly, and he made an impassioned expression, and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo, Liangzhou is a horse, just in time for his meeting, violating the edict and entering the city without authorization, his intention is obvious, in a vain attempt to dictate the dynasty and override tens of millions of people. Now that the eunuchs have been removed, everyone in the sea is overjoyed, and no one in the court is not shouting for joy, and the reorganization of mountains and rivers is just around the corner! Whose credit is it? The work of the division and the kings is also! ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and seeing that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the others were surprised by their own feelings, Fang continued: "At that time, Dong Zhuo wants to compete with all the monarchs, and we are all well-nourished people in the imperial court, how can we back down?!" Although Dong Zhuo has a strong soldier and a fierce general to help, Chu Bucai is willing to be the pawn of Si Li and the horses of the monarchs, and go to Dong Zhuo! There are thousands of people under the command of Chu, all of whom are loyal and righteous to the festival, so why not be afraid of the people of Xiliang Qianghu! ”
The house was full of surprise.
Xun Yu and Zhong Yu were stunned and then looked at each other and smiled, Xu Chu of Yingchuan that day, Xu Chu of Luoyang today, Shibei for three days, should be impressed!
Cao Cao and Bao Xin applauded, and Bao Xin said: "Zhong Kang is heroic, and I am willing to fight Dong Zhuo with you!" ”
There was Xu Yu in the front, then Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and then Xu Chu, and the four of them attacked Dong together, reasonable, well-founded, and virtuous, and everyone focused their eyes on Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao felt bitter in his heart...... Dong Zhuo galloped into Beijing, occupied the palace city, coerced the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and stole the fruits of victory that should have belonged to the Yuan family. Yuan Shao has been planning for a long time, how can he be willing! However, in his heart, he has never been able to make up his mind about 'launching another palace coup'.
He turned to look at Zhang Miao, who didn't speak much and had a thin sense of existence, and his eyes were full of inquiry.
Zhang Miao has played with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao since childhood, and Zhang Miao knows Yuan Shao's character very well. In fact, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, and Gao Gan are not as determined to start a war with Dong Zhuo as Cao Cao, Bao Xin, and Xu Chu, and they have been weighing the gains and losses.
Zhang Miao chose to stand in the middle and said something that was neither salty nor light, "Why don't you wait for Taifu and Yuan Huben to have news before deciding?" ”
When Cao Cao and Bao Xin heard this, they knew that Yuan Shao would definitely agree. I didn't say to fight, nor did I say I wouldn't fight, but waited and waited for news. It's too much for Yuan Shao's appetite.
Yuan Shao really agreed, and said: "This is the safest, please go and rest for the time being, as soon as there is news, I will immediately inform you." ”
......., the gentlemen in the hall had to press the emotions in their hearts and go to the place where they stayed. Because of the importance of the matter, everyone did not go back to their official house in Luoyang, but temporarily lived in the Taifu Mansion to facilitate discussions.
Xu Chu and Xi Zhong came to the dormitory together, and when they saw Xi Zhong's face sneering, Xu Chu asked, "Why is Zhicai laughing?" ”
In the candlelight, Xi Zhong said calmly: "The Guansi is full of heroes, and there are not many real heroes. Captain Cao and Captain Bao are far-sighted and courageous, and the lord can have deep friendships. ”
Xu Chu laughed twice, Cao Cao and Bao Xin are of course real heroes, if I hadn't met you earlier, I'm afraid you would have hit Cao Cao at first sight and put your heart in your heart.
Listening to Xi Zhong again, he said: "The first to speak Keqing Xu Yu has wisdom and strategy, but when Yuan Sili hesitated, this person did not advise, but tacitly agreed, which shows that his 'flattery' heart is not an honest and daring person." ”
