Chapter 234: Peace
Li Ru's words have resonated with many civil and military forces in the tent, the Son of Heaven has been to Chang'an for a long time, and the people have been forcibly relocated to Chang'an. The whole army, those who go to Chang'an in the west, the morale of the army is not available, Dong Xiangguo can do well, so the class will go to Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo didn't want to go to Chang'an early, but the Kwantung princes were pressing, so he had to personally supervise the army to avoid worries. After listening to Li Ru's words, although he also had the idea of retreating, he still looked at Jia Xu and wanted to hear Jia Xu's opinion.
Jia Xu's eyes never left Dong Zhuo, and seeing Dong Zhuo's thoughts at this time, he got up and said: "Dagu is lost, Xu and Cao are still tens of thousands of horses, the key is that the princes of Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places will not be happy to hunt and raise troops again." Today, Luoyang has become a ruin, there is no strong to defend, no people to levy, and it is difficult to resist the Kwantung coalition army with a lonely city. In the opinion of the following, if you can not fight at this time, it is better not to fight again. ”
Dong Zhuo frowned, "Xu Chu and Cao Cao are aggressive, how can they give up?" ”
"The princes raised troops, nominally to help the Han Dynasty, but the princes had their own thoughts, all for their own fame and fortune. Even if Xu, Cao, and Sun dare to take the lead, they also have their own plans. ”
"Oh?"
"Sun Jianjiang is a cold man in the east of the river, and his ancestors are at most county officials; Although Cao Cao was born in a noble background, he was criticized and castrated; Not to mention Xu Chu, he was born recklessly. The trio were in desperate need of a reputation in the world, so they took the lead. ”
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "What Wen He said is quite novel. In this case, what is Wenhe's plan? ”
Jia Xu said: "Our army's morale is low, and we can't defeat Xu, Cao, Sun and other sharp divisions for the time being. ”
"What's the enveloping method?"
"Xu Chu is friendly with the Xun family, and he asked Xiangguo to return Xun Gong's coffin back to his hometown, but Xiangguo refused at that time, so he might as well agree to him at this time."
Dong Zhuo guessed: "This is very easy, but based on this matter alone, will the Xu family stop the army and make peace?" ”
Jia Xu continued: "This is one of them. I heard that Xu Chu's wife is from the Yanling Zhang family, the Zhang family has been in decline for many years, and it has long been not a famous family. ”
"......., just Yiwenhe, what about Cao Cao and Sun Jian?"
"Cao Cao is Yuan Shaopeng's party, and he will not retreat, but if Xu Chu retreats, what can he do alone? As for Sun Jian, Xiang Guo had worked with this person, so he should know what he wanted most. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded, "After Sun Jian often said that he was Sun Wu, I promised him the position of right general, what do you think?" ”
"Xiangguo is wise."
Dong Zhuo immediately asked people to write a holy decree, and ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan, one to go to Yique Pass to see Sun Jian, and the other to Dagu Pass to see Xu Chu.
Li Dao and Guo Yan received the holy decree and each ordered 2,000 troops out of Luoyang.
Two days later, Guo Yan arrived at Dagu Pass, lined up outside the pass, and stepped forward to detain the pass by himself.
Not long after, Xu Chu heard the report and came to the gate with Guo Jia and others.
As soon as Xu Chu arrived, Guo Yan got off the horse, raised his head and shouted: "Guo Yan has come to pay homage to the Marquis of Zhaowu by the order of the Prime Minister!" ”
Guo Jia looked at Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, then looked at Guo Yan's clothes, and said to Xu Chu with a smile: "Lord, this must be Dong Zhuo's fear, so he asked Guo Yan to ask for peace with the lord." ”
Sue for peace?
Xu Chu smiled: "No matter what the intention is, let's see it first." The soldiers opened the door and let Guo Yan enter.
After meeting, Guo Yan bowed to the ground, presented the holy decree, and said to Xu Chu: "The will of the imperial court: worship Zhaowu Marquis as the captain of Si Li, and I am willing to send the coffin of the late Sikong Xun Gong back to his hometown, and Xu Zhaowuhou, the daughter of Xiangguo." ”
Guo Jia guessed the result, but he didn't guess the process at all. Dong Zhuo was so generous, it was really unexpected by the mountain people.
Let's talk about the captain of Si Li, this position was held by Yuan Shao at the beginning, and before Yuan Shao, the position of captain Si Li has always been a prominent position where both sides of the political dispute have won the bloody battle. Since the beginning of this dynasty, Sili Xiaowei has two nicknames, one is 'Crouching Tiger', and the other is the 'Three Solo Sitting' called with the Imperial History Zhongcheng and Shang Shuling. During the period of Emperor Ling, Yangqiu, a Yuyang person, was the captain of Si Li, and the eunuch slandered Emperor Ling, and wanted to change Yang Qiu to be the captain of the guard, so Yang Qiu came to see Emperor Ling, and did not say anything, but begged Emperor Ling to let him be the captain of Si Li for another month, so that he could kill the eunuch who did evil, and finally Yang Qiu was in the position of Si Li Captain to punish Wang Fu, the largest eunuch at that time, which shows the great power of this position.
Let's talk about Dong Zhuo Xu Nu, this is even more interesting. As we all know, Dong Zhuo only had one son under his knees, and he died of illness, leaving him with a granddaughter. In other words, Dong Zhuo has neither a son nor a grandson, which means that no direct descendant can inherit his current power. According to the customs of the world, the only people who can inherit Dong Zhuo's status and power are his brothers, relatives and sons-in-law. He is willing to marry his daughter Xu Chu to Xu Chu, which is equivalent to giving Xu Chu a great opportunity to inherit everything that Dong Zhuo left behind.
Dong Zhuo makes many people despise, but after all, he is now the most powerful person in the world, and this temptation is not small.
Of course, everything has a premise, no matter how big the bait Dong Zhuo throws, if Dong Zhuo fails, then it is worthless.
Regardless of what he knew in his previous life or what he heard in this life, Xu Chu knew that Dong Zhuo would be defeated, so after listening to Guo Yan's words, in front of all the civil and military forces, he sneered: "Dong Zhuo is a national thief, how can I be with him!" ”
Guo Yan was not angry, and said lightly: "Then is the prince willing to be the captain of Si Li?" ”
Xu Chu glanced at Guo Yan deeply, according to legend, this person was born as a thief, and he could still be calm when he entered the enemy camp alone, but he was also a little bold. He said, "Didn't you hear me clearly? I am a dignified seven-foot man, how can I coexist with national thieves. ”
"Is the prince unwilling to make peace?"
"Unless Dong Zhuo judges himself to thank the world, at that time, I will call the army and return to the county. Okay, that's all I say, you're here, I won't kill you, please take care of yourself! ”
Guo Yan didn't say anything more, and turned around and left silently.
Dong Zhuo sent Guo Yan to contact Xu Chu, and Cao Cao soon learned about it. Xu Chu's reaction was also expected by Cao Cao, he immediately set off to find Xu Chu, and said jokingly: "Brother Xian, you almost became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but the foolish brother is sweating for you." ”
Xu Chu said strangely: "How do you say this? ”
"Dong Zhuo's appearance, you and I both know, how his daughter is, don't need to say more about it."
Everyone laughed, Xu Chu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Why do you want to make fun of my ......., Dagu, Dong Zhuo was frightened, and he actually sent Guo Yan to negotiate peace, which shows the weak morale of the Dong army in Luoyang." This attack on Luoyang, we will win. ”
Guo Yan returned to Luoyang, and saw Li Dao outside the camp, the two looked at each other, and each saw the result of the trip from the other party's eyes, but they all returned in vain.
After listening to Li Dao and Guo Yan, Dong Zhuo relayed Xu Chu and Sun Jian's reply, Xu Chu didn't need to say much, what Sun Jian said was: "My grandson raised an army to rebel, for the sake of the righteousness of the world, as long as I can get rid of Dong Zhuo's husband, it doesn't hurt for me to return to my hometown to farm, but it is not rare to be a right general!" ”
After Li Dao and Guo Yan finished relaying, Jia Xu suddenly laughed.
Everyone in the tent looked at it blankly, and Li Ru said loudly: "Xu Chu and Sun Jian don't know how to do it, they are hateful and can be killed, but why is Wen He laughing?" ”
