The one hundred and ninth visit to Dong Zhuo

If you want to go from Qiaoxian to Chang'an, the distance is really very far, and unlike Yingyin to Luoyang, it takes about half a month. It was the first time for Xun Gang to walk such www.biquge.info a long way, and only then did he realize how important transportation would be in the future.

From Yuzhou to Chang'an, if you don't go over the mountains and mountains, you need to pass through the boundary of Jingzhou; The north of Jingzhou is Yuan Shu's territory, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xun Gang and Wang Yun all kinds of disguises, what merchants, farmers, woodcutters, all kinds of identities are used, although they have experienced many twists and turns, but also barely survived Yuan Shu's territory.

There are many checkpoints from Wancheng to Chang'an, among which Hangu Pass is the most famous; At that time, the Qin State refused to allow soldiers and horses from all countries to be outside the pass, and it was this Hangu Pass. Cao Cao and Xun Gang once proposed to capture many passes north of Wancheng to encircle Luoyang, and then try to Chang'an, the son of Qintian, but hated no one to accept it. Now it seems that there are no less than 30,000 heavy troops here in Guanghan Guguan, and it is a fool's dream to capture Chang'an.

The guards at Hangu Pass obviously knew Wang Yun, and after a symbolic inspection, they let the two go. Xun Gang did not bring people with him this time, first, there was a lack of manpower in the state, and he did not dare to transfer people away; The water in Chang'an is too muddy, so there is no need for too many people to wade in.

When the two passed through Hangu Pass, twelve days had passed; Coupled with the time when Wang Yun came, I am afraid that Xun Shuang's body has been placed on the ground for nearly a month. Thinking of this, Xun Gang gritted his teeth, couldn't he let Xun Shuang fall into the ground?

When the two of them arrived at Luoyang City, no more, no less, just half a month passed; But look at Chang'an Wanli Xiongcheng, stretching the sky, thousands of rivers, green leaves and moss, people coming and going; What a picture of the country being rich and strong, and the people living in peace!

However, Xun Gang knew that this was the case outside Chang'an City, but there were undercurrent waves inside Chang'an City. Xun Gang took a cursory look at the guards of Chang'an City, all of them were full of energy and could be a thousand troops; I'm afraid that up and down, plus people resting, patrolling, changing guards, and guarding, the defenders of Chang'an City will never be less than 30,000!

There are 30,000 in Hangu Pass and 30,000 in Chang'an City, even if Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang are counted as 20,000, the soldiers and horses of various tribes and cities in Liangzhou are counted as 30,000, and those who conquer Diqiang are counted as 20,000...... Good guys, that's almost 130,000 or 40,000! It's almost time to catch up with the scale of the entire Dong coalition army!

However, this data is also expected by Xun Gang; Dong Zhuo was originally a Liangzhou assassin, and there must be no less than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, and they were all elite cavalry; After using Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, he collected Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, the general He Jin, and the general He Miao after his death, and collected the soldiers and horses of the two; Coupled with the emperor's soldiers in the palace, it is strange that there are no more than 100,000 in this way!

Looking at the Xiongcheng Chang'an, Xun Gang sighed: "Thousands of miles of splendid capital, thousands of rich and noble cities." Wang Situ, is there anything else you need to say? ”

Wang Yun's expression was serious, and when he said what he wanted to say, there seemed to be nothing to say; He knew Xun Gang better, and knew that Xun Gang himself was knowledgeable, and he would definitely not make any outrageous moves in front of Dong Zhuo.

"Since there isn't, then I'll leave later......"

Chang'an City seems to be much more gorgeous than Luoyang City, and Xun Gang doesn't know why; Obviously, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty is Luoyang, why is this capital Chang'an so grand? You must know that in the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City, even the emperor will only come a few times; Which politician would make a capital more gorgeous than the capital?

"Xun Gang, I'm going to go to Xiangguo's Mansion next...... I don't know if Dong Zhuo is here today, you must know that in the past three months, he has no fixed place, sometimes in Chang'an, sometimes in Luoyang. I don't tell the ministers where I go, so everything depends on luck. ”

"Dong Zhuo is sometimes stationed in Luoyang?" When Xun Gang heard this, he touched his chin expressionlessly, but he didn't expect what Lu Bu said to be true, Dong Zhuo was really stationed in Luoyang, "Wang Situ is not right, didn't Dong Zhuo burn Luoyang completely?" Why are you still stationed in Luoyang? This doesn't make sense! ”

"Who told you that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang clean?" Hearing Xun Gang's words, Wang Yun felt a little inexplicable, "Dong Zhuo is extremely evil, plundering the people and stealing the tomb of the first emperor...... All kinds of things, he didn't dare to make a move to burn Luoyang! ”

It's weird...... Isn't it Dong Zhuo himself who burned Luoyang in history? But Wang Yun's words must be well-founded, after all, it is impossible for Wang Yun not to know about such a big thing as the burning of Luoyang. Case...... Why did the rumors of Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang first appeared in the coalition army? And what does history record?

Xun Gang decided to ignore this matter for now, and asked, "Wang Situ, according to the etiquette law, should I meet the emperor first?" After all, if the minister of Beijing meets with local dignitaries in private, it will inevitably be criticized......"

Wang Yun smiled bitterly: "I want you to see the emperor, but will Dong Zhuo agree?" Your Majesty's power is on the sidelines, and even us and others can only see our dignity in the court...... By the way, you did the matter of Yuzhou Mu, or after His Majesty fought with Dong Zhuo several times, he was allowed to come down, otherwise you are now afraid that Dong Zhuo has been recruited to Luoyang to be a Zhonglang! ”

didn't expect to have this hand, Xun Gang always thought that he relied on Wang Yun and Xun Shuang to be able to successfully achieve this position; But I didn't expect that the most important person behind this turned out to be Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

"Okay, Wang Situ, lead the way......"

I don't know why, when I talk about Wang Situ, Xun Gang always thinks of a sentence......

"I've never seen anything like this......"

Walking through a market that was not lively, Xun Gang did not see many refugees and beggars; You must know that the last time I went to Luoyang, basically everywhere my eyes went, there were people in rags. Xun Gang asked, "Wang Situ, didn't Dong Zhuo relocate the population of Luoyang?" Why didn't you see a refugee? ”

Hearing this, Wang Yun instantly became angry, and scolded in a deep voice: "You don't know! Dong Zhuo plundered Luoyang Qianshou and placed it in the surrounding villages, but he didn't care about people's lives or deaths! The dead people just dug a mass grave and buried the matter! ”

Xun Gang was silent, just quietly following Wang Yun and moving on. The two tacitly stopped talking until they walked most of the way to Chang'an City, and Wang Yun finally stopped; Xun Gang looked up, but saw a golden gate in front of him, lined with plaques, gilded jade tiles, and the book: Xiangguo Mansion. Compared to the Great General's Mansion that Xun Gang saw last time, I don't know where the high-end is!

Wang Yun walked up to the door, groped for something in his arms, and handed it to a soldier guarding the door, Xun Gang thought that it should be a famous post. Surprisingly, however, the soldier didn't seem to see the name tag and turned his head to the side.

"This ...... Outrageous! ”

Xun Gang was about to step forward to argue, but he thought that he had just arrived and it was inconvenient to cause trouble, so he still stopped his body and depended on how Wang Yun dealt with it.

Wang Yun was not in a hurry, and took out another piece of something from his arms, Xun Gang squinted and saw that it was a valuable plum blossom jade! Xun Gang had a piece before and gave it to Guo Jia; I didn't expect to enter the gate of Xiangguo's Mansion and hand over such a valuable thing!

The soldier coughed lightly twice, took the plum blossom jade as if no one was around, said arrogantly to Wang Yun, "Wait a minute", and went straight to the house to report.

"Wang Situ! This thief deceives people too much! Xun Gang saw Wang Yun who had retreated, and said indignantly.

Wang Yun shook his head with a wry smile, and motioned to Xun Gang to settle down: "Xun Gang, you have just arrived, so you are also content!" At least Dong Zhuo is still in the house today. You must know that if you want to see Dong Zhuo on weekdays, after you bribe these soldiers, they may tell you that Dong Zhuo is not there, isn't this even more annoying? ”

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, a raccoon dog! The little soldiers dare to ask for bribes so rampantly, how much gold and silver is hidden in Dong Zhuo's house?

It is rumored that Dong Zhuo built a dock, and the city wall is seven zhang high and thick, similar to Chang'an City; Eight hundred beauties were collected from the people and gathered in it, storing enough food for the people in the dock to eat for 30 years, and hiding gold and jade, cloth and silk are not counted. This kind of pleasure is no different from Xia Wei and Shang Xuan, it is simply crazy!

"Xiangguo summons, Situ Wang Yun, Yuzhou Mu Xungang!"

The soldier came out and shouted; When Wang Yun heard this, he scolded in a low voice: "Okay, you Dong Zhuo, when you are the emperor, can't you?" ”

The two slowly walked into the Xiangguo Mansion, which has rockeries, dense forests, ponds, and willow shades, all of which are readily available, like a large manor. Xun Gang was admired, but he didn't know the West Garden of Emperor Han Ling, if he went there to see, he might really feel the grandeur and grandeur of the royal family.

Suddenly, a bear and tiger man suddenly walked out on the side, nine feet tall, with a cloud armor and a red robe, Fang Tian painted a halberd, and Lu Bu is also. He saluted Wang Yun and said, "Wang Situ, Xiangguo has been waiting for a long time, please come with me!" ”

After that, he looked at Xun Gang with a playful face, but when he saw Xun Gang's white hair, the stunned feeling on his face was extremely exciting; But he was not embarrassed to ask Xun Gang all this, so he could only turn his head silently.

Lu Bu's behavior naturally caused Xun Gang to be dissatisfied, and the latter snorted coldly and turned his head away, like an angry child. Lu Bu showed a faint smile on his face, led Wang Yun, and walked straight towards the mansion.

Looking at Lu Bu's distant back, Xun Gang secretly hated: "Lu Bu, don't fall into my hands!" Otherwise, I must know the consequences of teasing me! ”

Xiangguo's mansion is very large, and Xun Gang can't remember how many pools he has crossed; When he finally stood in front of the Xiangguo Mansion Chamber, he was already exhausted and out of breath. Lu Bu walked in front and slowly pushed open the door; Xun Gang's eyes immediately stared at death, he wanted to see what the brutal Dong Zhuo looked like!

The first thing that came into view was a dark-skinned man, wearing a luxurious red tiger crown, wearing a purple gold flowing cloud brocade robe, and his slender beard was very well groomed, leaning on the Hu bed, as if he was pretending to sleep. The round belly convinced Xun Gang that he was a fat man, and believed that the rumors of the belly button burning the lamp in later generations were true.

Lu Bu walked in lightly and whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear: "Father-in-law, they are here......"

Xun Gang swallowed his saliva, because he knew that he had to be vigilant at all times in his next words and deeds......
