Chapter 247 Stillness is better than stillness (Well, do you have a monthly pass?) )
In the first month of the second year, Dong Li returned after nearly four months of bloody battles
The Yang in front of him, the QΒ(5).cOm\\ scorched black city wall, the ruins of the ruined walls, Ling Yang looked so dilapidated, there was still a little bit of the scene of the prosperous eastern capital, as if it had suffered a disaster.
Indeed, if you think about it, Yang is really a city of suffering.
Since the Zhongping period, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion washed the sun for the first time, this ancient imperial capital has not been peaceful.
Especially after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the entire Yang suffered from military disasters repeatedly.
First came He Jin's battle to seize the palace, and then the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants. Next, there was a big battle between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan.
Several turbulences have made Yang's hearts unstable.
Many people saw that the world was not peaceful, and they moved south one after another, moving to Jingxiang, Yangzhou and other places, which greatly reduced the population of Yang.
However, none of these disasters hurt Yang Yuanqi greatly.
The real disaster was the sudden fire that night not long ago, not to mention how many people died in the fire, but only those who survived, one by one, were also fluctuating and restless. What's even more terrifying is that Xun Zhuo's purge of the Yang family and the clan under his anger really made people feel the breath of fear. =[=
And those wealthy families, because of Dong Zhuo's words, ten pavilions lost eight pavilions, and the rest were also terrified all day long.
Kaoru returned to Yang this time and did not notify anyone.
The group quietly entered through the Deyang Gate. But the streets were deserted and devastationed, and there were charred ruins everywhere.
How can this be?
Although Dong Li knew that Yang had a fire, he didn't expect that this fire would cause such a terrible result. This is still the eastern capital in memory, and it is clearly ...... There is no difference between it and Yang who has just experienced a big war.
Distance. A group of boys ran over carefree.
They jumped and danced, singing ballads, and turned into the alley.
Xun Yan didn't pay attention to these boys, but when he heard the children's singing clearly, he couldn't help but give Lingling a chill.
"There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east...... When the deer enters Chang'an, there is no difficulty! ”
Xun Yan couldn't help but exclaim, and Ren Hongchang and Dong Lu behind him were startled.
"Xianggong. What happened to you? ”
Xun Yu pointed in horror in the direction where the children had disappeared, and shouted, "Cheng Li, call those children back to me." ”
Who doesn't know what's going on?
Cheng Li took people and urged the horse to rush over.
After a while, he came back with a bitter face, "Lord, those children don't know where they are going, and they can't be seen. ”
"Xianggong, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? ”
Xun Yan didn't say a word, and urged the horse to gallop away in the direction of Yingchun Gate. The people behind him were inexplicable. Follow Kaoru closely.
There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east......
In the romance, Dong Zhuo defeated the tiger and retreated to Chang'an, if it is because of this ballad, it must be an exaggeration. But there's no denying it. This ballad greatly influenced Kaoru Zhuo's judgment and led to the eventual evacuation.
When listening to the commentary, Dong Li didn't notice anything wrong with this decision, and even felt that it was God's arrangement.
But when I came to this era, I had studied military books and read the classics of Zhuzi. Dong Li's understanding has changed.
If Dong Zhuo did not evacuate Yang back then, then whether the Three Kingdoms pattern would be formed is another matter. The battle of Tiger Prison Pass was a failure. With that Xiongguan, it can definitely resist the attack of the princes. Retreating is equivalent to bowing to the princes and admitting defeat. Even if the princes have been defeated miserably now, if Xun Zhuo leaves Yang, it will still have a serious impact.
What is Xun Ying fighting the sun for?
Isn't that just to prevent that from happening?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chang'an is the feng shui treasure of Han Gaozu, but for the Dong family, it will be a cemetery.
Kaoru led the crowd to the door of the mansion.
"Hou is back, it's Hou who is back!"
Kaoru jumped off his horse and rushed into the gate without saying a word.
The guards at the gate hadn't figured out what was going on, and Dong Yan had already rushed into the gate.
Li Ru hurriedly came out, grabbed Dong Li's arm, and said excitedly: "Xiping, why didn't you notify me when you came back?" ”
Kaoru had a gloomy face, "Brother-in-law, I was on the street just now, and I heard a boy singing a ballad, what happened?" ”
"Ballads, what ballads?"
Li Ru didn't react for a while, and looked at Dong Yan suspiciously and asked.
"It's a Han in the west and a Han in the east......"
Li Ru covered Dong Li's mouth and said softly: "Xiping, don't talk about this, my father-in-law doesn't know about it yet." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Li Ru was about to open his mouth to explain, but at this time, the news of Dong Li's return had spread all over the mansion.
Kaono Zhuo in Cai >|. =.
Dong Yan immediately showed joy.
—
"But my son is back?"
Xun Yu had no choice but to let go of Li Ru, stepped forward quickly, and saluted Dong Zhuo like a golden mountain and a jade pillar.
Seeing Dong Li, it was like seeing himself when he was young, Dong Zhuo was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and said again and again: "My son gets up, my son gets up." ”
As he spoke, he took Dong Li's hand and looked up and down.
After a long time, he spit out a sentence from his mouth: "Xiping, you are thin!" ”
No matter what contradictions and emotions there were before, this sentence was enough to touch the string in Dong Li's heart.
His eyes were a little moist, Dong Li looked at Dong Zhuo, who was bloated and even a little rickety, and said softly: "Father, you have also lost weight!" ”
"Come into the house and talk, let's go into the house and talk."
Xun Zhuo pulled Dong Li with one hand, and on the other hand, Cai > set up a banquet in the mansion to catch the wind for my son. ”
"Whoa!"
******
Kaoru Xiping is back to the sun!
The news spread all at once. Yang people know everything.
To be honest, for Dong Li, Yang Rendi's mood is very complicated. Since the Dong family came to Yang, Yang has not been at peace for a moment. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Dong family. Kaoru is a representative of the Kaoru family, and has also lived in Yang for six years. In the eyes of many people, Kaoru is a yang person.
The Tiger Wolf is back......
The hearts of many have been settled.
Of course, there are also some people who feel an inexplicable threat.
But whatever the idea, no one showed it on their faces. That night, the people who came to the banquet seemed very happy.
Xun learned about Dong Zhuo's condition from Keats. Therefore, he did not dare to let him drink excessively.
Almost all the wine was blocked, and with Dong Li's amount of alcohol, he felt some intoxication, and drunkenness surged up.
Seeing off the guests, Dong Li helped Dong Zhuo and came to the study to sit down.
Xun Zhuo, Li Ru, Cai, Dong Min, and Dong Li, the five people are the core members of the Dong family. It stands to reason that Cai does not belong to the Xun Zhuo line. The old gentleman is now at ease, and rarely participates in disputes in the court.
But even so, the imprint of the Dong family on his body. It is already clearly visible.
And his reputation made Dong Zhuo respect him very much, and he would inevitably ask for advice whenever there was something.
Xun Li is Cai Di's son-in-law, and since his son-in-law has spoken, Cai naturally can't refute Dong Li's face. Attend meetings as observers.
Previously, Dong Yan was not there, and Li Ru really didn't dare to explain the situation of Jinyang to Dong Zhuo.
Now that Dong Li is back, Li Ru seems to have found the backbone, and carefully explains the current situation.
"This was the case, and that night, most of the city was burned...... I have used all kinds of means, but I have never been able to find any trace of the so-called spy. Father-in-law. This only shows that the spies are hidden very deeply, and they are more forbearant than Yuan Kui and other party members. I think this is probably not just a trick of the party. Rather, it is the planning of the entire clan of scholars. ”
"How can there be such a thing?"
Xun Zhuo couldn't help but be taken aback, looking at Li Ru, speechless.
Cai lightly twisted his beard, "According to what Wen Zheng said, this matter is indeed extraordinary. This treacherous way of forbearance is more samadhi than Yuan Kui. Since ancient times, the warriors and the warriors have not been separated, and only the warriors are attached to the warriors...... If it is said that there is a struggle for rights between Yuan Kui and his in-laws, then now, I am afraid that the soldiers are fighting with their in-laws for their dignity. ”
"Who could have planned it?"
Cai shook his head slightly, "I really can't say this well." Maybe someone is plotting, maybe someone is acting spontaneously. If the latter is the case, it is even more terrifying. Since it was spontaneous, I am afraid that they are ready to die. When time is not ripe, there will definitely be no flaws. And once they make a move, it must be when the time is ripe, and they will be killed with one blow. ”
Kaoru couldn't help but panic, "What should I do then?" ”
Cai Dao: "What else can I do?" Now, you can only see the tricks. As the saying goes, it's better to be still than to be still, so we act carefully and observe secretly. ”
When you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Kaoru remembered the folk song she had heard on the street during the day, and couldn't help but say it.
Xun Zhuo frowned, "There is a Han in the west, it should be Gao Zuwang in Chang'an, the western capital; There is a Han in the east, which should be said that Emperor Guangwu is prosperous in the eastern capital. Since Emperor Gaozu, after 12 emperors, the emperor was cut off every time. Now, from Emperor Guangwu to the present, it happens to be the Twelve Emperors again. The reincarnation of heavenly fortune, is it possible to say that we should move the capital to Chang'an? ”
Kaoru said hurriedly: "Father, by all means. If we move the capital, the fruits of the earlier bloody battle will be in vain. ”
Xun Zhuo scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "But the problem is that Yang is dilapidated, and it is really not suitable for the imperial capital anymore." ”
"But ......"
"Xiping, you don't know the pain of being in charge. A fire, let Yangcheng be completely destroyed, not to mention, I am afraid that this dragon qi will also ...... Repairs, money and food are needed; The people also need money and food for resettlement, and the state treasury cannot make ends meet for these two items alone. ”
Sighing, "It's really a mess right now, and I'm seeing a lot of things to do." ”
"Is it so difficult?"
"It doesn't stop there. Your general is indeed brave and strategic, but his methods are also extremely ruthless. Although a fire killed the Southern Route Army, almost half of Dagu's grain was burned by him. Now. Of the two granaries, only one remains. Spring ploughing has begun, we have to face the dilemma, I am afraid that there will be more, how to be good? ”
Li Ru can be regarded as having found an opportunity to pour out the bitter water of these days.
He snapped his fingers and said, "Yique Pass has been burned." It needs to be rebuilt. The big barn was destroyed and needed to be rebuilt...... In addition, Meng Jin has also exposed a big flaw this time, and he needs to strengthen his defense. On the Liangzhou side, due to the rebellion of Zhang Miao and Ma Teng, we cannot be supported for the time being...... In addition, the losses of the various armies were quite large, and they also needed to be replenished and readjusted. If you take on such a mess as Shangyang again. I'm afraid that in less than three months, I will be forced to hang myself. ”
Looking at Li Ru's sad face, Dong Yan couldn't help laughing.
"Brother-in-law, is it so serious?"
Dong Min, who had never spoken, smiled bitterly and said, "What's more...... The state is now ownerless, and Xianbei has repeatedly invaded. I don't worry about him invading Bingzhou, but he has broken into Liangshan several times from Bingzhou, and joined forces with the Southern Xiongnu to peep at Guanzhong. ”
Kaoru couldn't help but put away her smile.
"Father, I was about to talk about it. I plan to set up an army to concentrate the prisoners of this coalition army and garrison them in the three counties of Anding, Shicheng and Beidi. Once you are ready. If the troops are dispatched, they can calm the chaos and train them into an army. ”
Li Ru immediately said: "Father-in-law, look at it, look at it, I just said that there is no money here." Xiping came over and asked for money. ”
That look really makes people laugh.
The atmosphere eased a lot at once, and Dong Zhuo tightened his face and showed a smile.
"Xiping's suggestion is not bad...... But you don't have to be on your own. Now Huaxiong is seriously injured, and the position of Han'an is vacant. In this way, tomorrow I will go to the court and seal Xiping as the general of the chariot cavalry. Marquis Wu Zhong, the commander of Han'an, the general of Zhenxi...... The governor of Yongliang Erzhou, sitting in Chang'an...... Kindness. How about setting up a Han'an army under his command? ”
Kaoru almost choked to death!
Such a large list of rewards, but he is only twenty years old.
The general of the chariot cavalry, which was second only to the general and the general of the hussars, was also the military governor of the first rank of the Han Dynasty.
General Zhenxi, indicating the scope of his jurisdiction, is in Yongliang two prefectures. In other words, the military of the two states belongs to Dong Li.
Wu Zhonghou is a county marquis, and there is not much difference from the earlier marquis.
But Wuzhong County is located in Beidi County, which is equivalent to saying that you Dong Li is the head snake of Beidi and a stable place.
But these are nothing, the most powerful is the Han Anjun. In other words, Dong Li can form an army on his own.
Earlier, Dong Zhuo also agreed that Dong Yu would form an army on his own.
But the formation of the army at that time and the formation of the army now are completely two different concepts. At that time, Dong Zhuo was the Taishou of Hedong, and the so-called army was just a private army. But now, Dong Zhuo is the Taishi, which is equivalent to saying that from now on, the Han will have an extra regular army.
Bangu's Dingyuan Army that year, in the past, there were Huo Quai's hussar army, and Wei Qing's Zhenbei Army was of the same nature.
This is a treatment that many so-called princes cannot enjoy.
Li Ru and the others were dumbfounded, and Cai couldn't help but stammer.
At the age of twenty, just and weakly, did you get this achievement? Even if it's a family, you can't take care of it so much.
Xun Zhuo smiled: "My son is brave and good at fighting, and at the age of fourteen, Mr. Bo gave him the name of Tiger and Wolf General, which can be called invincible. Now, my son has a weak crown, but he can't perform the weak crown ceremony because of the Yang War, so I use this as compensation for my father. This matter was decided in this way, and the matter of moving the capital, let's think about it again. In addition, my son had better go and meet Chen Liuwang tomorrow. He's asked you many times...... He's always a little suspicious when you're not there...... Well, that's a problem. ”
"The child got it!"
"Also, the last time you told me that you wanted to take a concubine?"
In a word, Dong Li's face was flushed, and of course Cai knew that this concubine was the object he was referring to, so he couldn't help but snort coldly.
When Xun Zhuo was assassinated, Dong Li once said that he would marry Ren Hongchang as a concubine.
It's just that so much happened later that it was not resolved.
Xun Zhuo's mention made Dong Li a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "Listen to my father's arrangement." ”
"Alright, let's all disperse...... Xiping, you stay, I have something to say to you alone. ”
And Dong Yan also happened to have something to talk about with Dong Zhuo, nodded immediately, and after sending Cai and the others out, he returned to the room.
saw Dong Zhuo secretly take out a brocade box from the back of the bookshelf.
