Xi Zhi is only in his thirties, and in terms of age, he is more suitable than Guo Jia to be Xu Chu's teacher. In terms of personality, Xi Zhicai dared to speak more and dared to expose Xu Chu's shortcomings in front of everyone.

This kind of 'revital' is a must for those who achieve great things.

Xi Zhong's career was bumpy, because the surname of Xi in Yang Zhai was far less powerful than Fei, Xin, Zhang and other surnames, resulting in although he was favored by Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu and others, he could not enter the Taishou door after several recommendations. Today, he stepped into Yang Zhai's Taishou Mansion with his feet, looking at the row of locust trees outside the mansion, and Xi Zhong was full of emotion.

On the way, I learned that the strong man who accompanied Xu Chu was Hou Dian Wei of the Tiger Guard Battalion, and when he arrived in Fuzhong, he met Zifan, Gong Su, Fei Liang and so on. None of the people in the hall are children of the family, and Xi Zhong sighed: "The government employs people, which is unique." ”

Xu Chu smiled and said, "This is what I want, and it is also a helpless move." ”

Everyone sat down, and Xu Chu suddenly said, "Where is Lejun?" Gong Su, you go and send someone to call Le Jun over. ”

Le Jin was appointed as an assistant under Zaoyi, but Xu Chu knew that his talent was not in Tuntian Xingmin, but in military affairs. It is also the right thing to call him over to join the military together.

He Jin and Huang Wan are in high positions, and it is the overall situation that they sent people to see Xu Chu, and for Xu Chu, this is a matter of cutting the skin and the military, which has a far-reaching impact and cannot be cautious.

After the people arrived, Dian Wei hung a map on the wall, Xu Chu drew his sword and pointed to Dongjun, and said: "He Boqiu came from afar, he must first pass through Dongjun, and pass the general's secret edict to Qiaotaishou, now Yanling is waiting for the mansion, calculate the time, Qiaodong County may have reached the border of Chenliu County." ”

His words, except for Guo Jia and Xi Zhong, everyone else heard it in a fog. Guo Jiasui explained his judgment in detail, and only then did everyone know that Yingchuan County had been placed in the whirlpool of party disputes in the imperial court, and whether or not to send troops would affect the situation in Luoyang City to some extent.

Zifan, Gong Su, Dian Wei and others are all pure generals, and in the face of complex political disputes, they have no ideas to say. It's Lejin, who has studied from a teacher, and his vision is better than that of Dian Wei and others, and after listening to Guo Jia's analysis, he looked at the map thoughtfully.

The lowest people in the hall are also a military candidate, Fei Liang will soon be the Cheng of Yangzhai County, and Xi Zhong is also Cao Shi.

Le Jin just followed Xu Chu, but he was just an assistant, a small official who worked for Cao Shi, and he sat at the end and didn't dare to speak first.

Xu Chu saw it and said by name: "Wen Qian, do you have something to say?" ”

Le Jin respectfully left the table, stood sideways next to everyone's seats, and said warmly: "Dare to ask the prince, in addition to Qiaodong County, the general can also send a secret edict to other places." ”

"Yes." At this stage, Xu Chu still knows the trend of the world, and according to common sense, He Jin leads the princes of other towns, and Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, two strong towns with strong soldiers, are indispensable.

"Dong Zhuo, the governor of the state, and Ding Yuan, the commander of the prefecture, should have received the secret edict of the general."

Hearing this, Le Jin said: "In this case, the prince of the palace must not act rashly. Qiao Yuanwei has been in business for a long time, Dong Zhongying is a general in the west, Ding Jianyang is famous, and Yingchuan County has no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the government is short in office, so he can't compete with it. ”

Xi Zhong nodded secretly, this Lejin is very perceptive. He has a casual personality, and he doesn't care whether he wants to be self-conscious, 'Taoguang Yanghui', and when others say it first, he immediately added: "In addition, the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi are close to Luoyang, and it is very likely that Dong and Ding have already arrived in the hinterland of Sili. ”

Everyone looked carefully at the map, with Luoyang as the center, Hedong in the east, Hanoi in the north, close at hand. There are two places in Dongjun and Yingchuan County, one in the west and the other in the south, which is slightly farther away.

It's really too late.

And even Gong Su and Dian Wei knew that even if they arrived under Luoyang City first, the deterrence from the depths of the palace would not be very great. What kind of person is Dong Zhuo, famous in Xizhou, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, with great achievements, the Xiliang Department under his command has experienced a hundred battles, and is the best soldier in the world.

After Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan's name is also like thunder, and Bingzhou has always been at war with foreign tribes, and the people are still martial, and the soldiers are elite. Ding Yuan was originally from a poor family, good at riding and shooting, and brave, and has always been He Jin's most relied on foreign aid.

Xu Chu still has self-knowledge, and what he wants to discuss is not the question of whether to go or not, but how to 'not go' the method, which can not be very abrupt. After all, it was He Jin's nod that made him the Taishou of Yingchuan, and he had just killed Zhang Zhi, how could he not help dealing with the eunuchs?

Guo Jia and Xi Zhong exchanged words for a while, and Xi Zhong analyzed: "The general doesn't like the Shi clan, so he reuses Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and other martial artists. In addition to Dong and Ding's Chen Bing Luoyang, in fact, in addition to shocking the queen mother in the palace, it also has the intention of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. ”

This tiger is the Shiren group represented by Yuan Shao. The truth that Xi Zhong said, Xu Chu listened to it after chewing it. He should be regarded as a martial artist, will He Jin's edict to him also have the meaning of temptation? Whether Xu Chu is on the side of the warriors, or has he become a vassal of the scholar clan, or is it in He Jin's consideration.

Then Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao's march should be a compromise He Jin made to Yuan Shao. Qiao Mao is an authentic scholar, and his position must be firmly on the side of the group.

But this compromise is just optional. Yuan Shao had already shown his 'short-sightedness' in this matter, and was blinded by the immortal exploits of the eunuchs, and actually agreed to let Dong Zhuo enter Beijing.

Guo Jia was silent for a long time, and then said: "Jia has been to Luoyang several times, and I have heard friends talk about the general, and they all say that he is a cautious person. I'm afraid that in this matter, the general has repeatedly, and it is not beautiful. ”

Xi Zhong patted his head and said in a panic: "If the general temporarily repents and sends someone to order Dong, Ding, and Qiao to stop the army, Luoyang will be in danger!" ”

Except for Guo Jia, everyone was taken aback by Xi Zhong. Xu Chu knew the follow-up, but he was still interested, and asked, "Why did Zhicai say this?" ”

Xi Zhong sighed, "If it is unfortunate that I say it, Captain Wu Meng and Dongjun Taishou are the confidants of the general, and the other is the backbone of the scholar clan, and they will respect the edict and stop the army." And Xiliang Dong Zhuo, a bold and reckless man, had previously disobeyed the edict of the imperial court, and the general temporarily repented, which gave this person the opportunity to covet the authority of the imperial court! ”

Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition is no secret. A year ago, when the Xiliang Rebellion arose, the imperial court took Dong Zhuo as the 'former general', and led more than 30,000 cavalry to accompany Huangfu Song to conquer the rebels of Bian Zhang and Han Sui. After the success, Dong Zhuo was not avoided from becoming troubled for a long time, and he was recruited into the court as the Shaofu, which was one of the nine Qings, with a silver seal and a green ribbon, but Dong Zhuo was not called to the court on the grounds that "Huangzhong is righteous, and Qin Hubing does not want him to enter the court". At the beginning of the year, that is, after Xu Chu came to the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling was seriously ill, and the imperial court issued an edict to Dong Zhuo again, worshipping him as the pastor of the state, and ordering him to give up the command of the army.

Both incidents caused shocks in the government and the opposition and confirmed Dong Zhuo's notoriety.

Regardless of their background, everyone in the hall was influenced by the culture of the world, and they all had some feelings for the Han Dynasty.

Xu Chu is different, he is only thinking about how to focus on the current situation and seek the greatest interests for himself at the moment.

"Fengxiao, I don't think Yangcheng can fight. When Gan Ning was ordered to stop the army, just look at it from afar. As for Li Min, it may be more beneficial for us to show that he is in other counties. ”
