Chapter 42: All Things Are Ready
"Wooing?"
Gao Shun looked worried, "Even so, if the general refuses the other party's wooing, wouldn't it still be dangerous?" ”
"No, it won't."
Ding Xiao smiled lightly.
He had some brain fever because he was concerned about Ding Yuan before, but at this time, he had completely calmed down, and many factors that he hadn't thought of before had also been reconsidered, so he strengthened this judgment.
"Brother Gao, the Bingzhou army is outside the city at this time, if they dare to embarrass their father at this time, aren't they afraid of causing a mutiny?"
"Oh, the Admiral understands!"
Gao Shun's eyes lit up, and he finally completely relieved himself, so he said goodbye, "Since the general is fine, and there is no leader in the army now, then the general will go back first." ”
"Okay, this time, Brother Lao Gao is fortunate to have a hard trip."
Ding Xiao thanked Gao Shun very politely, and then advised, "When your father returns to the camp, you must let him go to meet the general immediately, and take the blame!" ”
"Guilty of pleading?"
After Gao Shun was stunned, he immediately understood, and nodded in agreement, "The last general has written it down." ”
With that, he hurried out of place.
"Brother Xiao, why do you want your father-in-law to plead guilty to the general?"
After returning to the room, Lu Bu was puzzled.
"Mengjin set fire, my father violated the military order, and as soon as my father entered the palace this time, I am afraid that this matter will not be hidden, and I must admit my mistake to the general." Ding Xiao laughed.
"But brother-in-law, don't worry, if my father doesn't enter the palace, He Jin may punish my father for this, but now, he won't embarrass his father."
"Oh? Why is that? Lu Bu asked.
"Because He Jin also wants to win over his father!"
The corners of Ding Xiao's mouth hooked, and he explained with a smile.
"I see."
Lu Bu suddenly realized.
"Therefore, if you have military power, you will have the capital to be co-opted!"
Ding Xiao took the opportunity to advise, "Brother-in-law, the situation in Beijing is unclear these days, you must hold the military power tightly in your hands in case there is a change!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu was slightly stunned, and faintly guessed something in his heart.
Because as early as a few months ago, he wanted to bring his family into Beijing, but was stopped by Ding Xiao.
Now it seems that the change that the other party said that day should be coming, so he nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry!"
"Brother-in-law, if you have the opportunity, you might as well beg the general to send you to the local government as an official, and stay away from this place of right and wrong in Beijing." Ding Xiao spoke again and suggested.
For Lu Bu here, he actually didn't spend less money in secret, but Yuan Shao was against him everywhere, and his uncle Yuan Kui was in the way, so this matter was not done.
Now, He Jin is about to fall, and if Lu Bu wants to be transferred out of Jingshi, he has one last chance left.
"Well, I'll try again!" Lu Bu nodded.
He had already proposed this proposal to He Jin several times, but because of the Yuan family, he never made the trip.
As soon as he thought of this, he hated it a little, "...... Yuan Shao? The Yuan family? Hum! ”
"Brother-in-law, at this time, you must hold back, the Yuan family actually won't be able to jump for long."
Ding Xiao stepped forward and said with relief.
In his strategic plan, Yuan Shao was the first target he wanted to exterminate.
Because Yuan Shao's territory in the future borders on Bingzhou, if he wants to dominate the world, he must first eliminate Yuan Shao in the rear, and even if he does not destroy Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will wait for the opportunity to annex Taiyuan and other places in order to expand his territory.
It can be said that the Ding and Yuan families are destined to be enemies.
In addition, Yuan Shao has many capable people and wise men, but they don't know how to use them, and Ding Xiao is very greedy.
Only by destroying Yuan Shao can he recruit these talents.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Lu Bu nodded.
As he was talking, Gao Shun suddenly went back and forth, and appeared in front of the two with an excited face.
"Major General, Feng Xian, General Ding is fine!"
"Oh?"
The two were overjoyed, "Let's talk about it!" ”
"Good!"
Gao Shun stepped forward and picked up a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it all, and then began to tell, "After the general enters the palace, ......"
As Ding Xiao expected, Ding Yuan entered the palace this time, and he was really attracted by the ten permanent servants, but he didn't expect that Ding Yuan would be crowned a general again because of this.
These people borrowed the hand of the Queen Mother and named Ding Yuan as "General Fenwu" in the name of "governing the army in a good way and caring for the people".
"Great!"
Ding Xiao was overjoyed.
You know, although this is still a miscellaneous general, but it is one level higher than the previous "loyal general", if according to the Sui and Tang dynasties after the nine grades, the "loyal general" is probably from the fifth grade, and the "Fenwu general" has to reach the rank from the fourth grade, only one step away from the nine Qing.
"In this way, after my father starts to compete for hegemony, the starting point will be a lot higher than others!" He secretly calculated, "There will be more people who come to join than others!" ”
"Haha, my brother is like a god, I'm convinced!" Lu Bu praised on the side.
"And that's not all!"
Gao Shun praised on the side, "The young general's expectations are not bad, the general really did not embarrass General Ding, but fortunately appeased the general." ”
It turned out that after Ding Yuan left the palace, he directly received He Jinfu for Yuan Shao and others, as Ding Xiao expected, He Jin also did not embarrass Ding Yuan.
"The general is afraid that you two will be worried, so as soon as he returns to the barracks, he will immediately send me to report the news." Gao Shun finally said, "Now that the two of you know, I should go back to my life." ”
"Brother Gao sent the letter twice, how fortunate it is, it's better to have a light meal and leave." Ding Xiao said busily.
"No, I'm a foreign soldier after all, I can't stay here for a long time, so don't leave it here."
After speaking, Gao Shun turned around and left.
"Brother Xiao, you have to help me!"
After seeing Gao Shun leave, Lu Bu's train of thought returned to the previous topic, and with Ding Yuan's high promotion as a comparison, his willingness became even more urgent, "I have only been a military captain for more than three months, and my father-in-law has been promoted two levels in a row, leaving me far behind...... We're a family, you can't favor one over the other! ”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry."
Ding Xiao smiled lightly, "With the courage of my brother-in-law, my official rank will definitely be above my father in the future." But you have to take your time, for now, let's get past this hurdle first. ”
"Okay, then I don't care, everything is up to you!" Lu Buxi said.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"
Ding Xiao nodded in promise.
After sending Lu Bu away, he sent someone to call Dian Wei and arranged, "Brother Dian, please find a cronie to go back to Bingzhou, find Xu Huang, and tell him a word, 'You can start'!" ”
“…… And then what? ”
Dian Wei waited for a long time but didn't wait for the following, and couldn't help reminding.
"It's gone." Ding Xiao smiled and spread his hands.
“…… Gone? It's as simple as that?! Dian Weiqi said.
"It's that simple!"
Ding Xiao smiled slightly, "I have already made an appointment with Brother Xu, and he understands as soon as he says it!" But only if your people report my name first. ”
"Okay, I'll send someone to handle this."
Dian Wei took the order with a suspicious face.
Ding Xiao shook his head and smiled, got up and walked to the window, looked up at the sky, and let out a sigh.
"The wind is surging, the troubled times are coming, everything is ready, just wait...... The curtain opens! ”
