In Yuan's mansion, Yuan Shao's arrow wound was almost better, although his right arm couldn't be used very hard, it didn't affect his basic life much. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Dong Zhuo abused his power, Yuan Kui gave an order to the people of the Yuan Mansion not to go out at will, let alone provoke Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, and the Yuan Mansion became completely low-key.

On this day, Yuan Shao's friend Bao Xin came to visit, and Yuan Shao welcomed him to the study and sat down.

Bao Xin is a native of Pingyang, Taishan, with lofty ambitions when he was young, generous and loving, calm, resolute and strategic. He had a very good relationship with Yuan Shao, and he was also recruited by He Jin and served as the official position of cavalry captain. During the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, Bao Xin was ordered by He Jin to return to his hometown to recruit soldiers.

After Bao Xin learned the news, where could he still take care of recruiting soldiers, and hurriedly rushed back to Luoyang with less than 2,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses.

Bao Xin rushed back to Luoyang last night, his newly recruited army was still on the way, and early this morning, Bao Xin hurried to Yuan's mansion to discuss important matters with Yuan Shao.

Bao Xin said: "At the beginning, Dong Zhuo now has a heavy army, and he must have bad intentions, if we can't take the opportunity to do it, we will definitely suffer in the future." ”

Yuan Shao didn't expect Bao Xin to be so bold, his face changed slightly, and he hesitated: "Yuncheng doesn't know, Dong Zhuo's climate has been established, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, how can it be that we can deal with it?" ”

Bao Xin sneered and said: "Dong Zhuo's situation, I already know, although there are more than 100,000 people, but Dong Chong's old department, the general's old department, He Miao's old department, and the new attached Lu Bu may not be completely united with it. Dong Zhuo's real control is only the 30,000 horses he brought from Xiliang, which is one of them. ”

Second, Ding Yuan was defeated, Lu Bu took refuge, and Cao Ju was imprisoned, Dong Zhuo must be complacent, thinking that Luoyang City was under his control. Therefore, we will take advantage of his unpreparedness and make a sudden attack, and we will be able to capture Dong Zhuoye in one battle. ”

"Third, Cao Mengde can be used, with more than 10,000 military horses under his command, as well as Cao Ju's department, which can also be used, as well as the newly recruited soldiers under the command of the highway and Xin, plus the soldiers and horses under the command of Ben Chu. In addition, you can also contact General Huangfu and Lu Shangshu, there are tens of thousands of military horses, and they may not be able to fight with Dong Thief. ”

Yuan Shao listened, and did not answer, but groaned, thinking about the feasibility of Bao Xin's words.

After a long time, Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "No, the general trend of Dong thief has been achieved, and we are in a hurry, there is no way to compete with it. ”

Bao Xin's face changed, and he persuaded again: "At the beginning, time is not waiting for me, once the time passes, Dong Thief's army is stable, and the good opportunity is gone, how can he slowly figure it out, when he is unprepared, he suddenly attack, and then he can hit it with one blow." ”

"No." Yuan Shao had made up his mind, shook his head again and said, "What Yuncheng said sounds feasible, but it is really dangerous, and the chance of success is slim, and once it fails, the Yuan family will be in trouble, it is not desirable, it is not desirable." ”

Hearing Yuan Shao bring out the safety of the Yuan family, Bao Xin was suddenly disappointed, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he got up and said goodbye.

Out of Yuan's mansion, Bao Xin looked at the sky and sighed: "Do big things and spare yourself, Yuan is not enough to achieve big things, in this case, I still leave Luoyang, continue to recruit troops, and wait and see what happens." ”

Dong Zhuo became one of the three princes, although it is the last commonplace, but it is also a thing worth celebrating.

After the early dynasty, Dong Zhuo's group of cronies, as well as those ministers in the court who had fallen to Dong Zhuo, came to Dong Zhuo's mansion to congratulate him, making Dong Zhuo's new Sikong Mansion full of traffic and lively.

Dong Zhuo is actually quite on the road, and the celebratory crowds on both sides, he didn't greet his cronies, but to deal with those ministers of the DPRK and China, and he didn't have much to offer.

During the banquet, Dong Zhuo heard that Cai Yong was framed by the Ten Standing Servants for his outspokenness, exiled Shuofang, and after several twists and turns, he took refuge in Jiangnan for 12 years, and was very sympathetic, and immediately said that tomorrow morning, he would ask the emperor to decree and recruit Cai Yong into the court as an official.

Of course, not everyone wanted to believe Dong Zhuo's words, because recruiting Cai Yong into the court as an official did not do much good to Dong Zhuo, but made the strength of the Qing school increase.

After the banquet dispersed, Dong Zhuo also drank a lot of wine, just now he toasted with those ministers of the DPRK and China one by one, Rao is Dong Zhuo's wine is very large, and he also has seven or eight points of wine.

Li Ru accompanied Dong Zhuo to his residence, and after sending Dong Zhuo to his residence, he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Dong Zhuo did not let him go, but asked with a smile: "I heard that the first emperor is alive, although there are few concubines in the harem, there are no less than 5,000 palace maids, and many of them are as beautiful as flowers. Right now, the lonely power is in his hands, and he wants to get involved in one or two, is he noncommittal? ”

When Li Ru heard this, he immediately persuaded: "Father-in-law, no, in all dynasties, the palace maid is the exclusive use of the emperor, and the princes and ministers are not allowed to touch it, unless they are given by the emperor." Although my father-in-law is in military power, he is still far from the heart of the world, and he is still just starting, and he can't make mistakes. ”

Dong Zhuo was not very happy when he heard this, frowned, and was about to say something more, when Li Ru said again: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law has a plan to avoid this section." ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said: "Wenyou has a good strategy, come quickly." ”

Li Ru smiled slightly: "My father-in-law can reduce the expenses of the palace and ask the emperor to issue an edict on the grounds that the emperor is young, so that the elderly palace maids, who are over twenty years old, will all leave the palace." ”

"Wonderful, really a clever plan." When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "When the palace maid leaves the palace, she is not the body of the palace maid, so when the time comes, she will not let Lone choose at will, haha, Wen You's plan is really wonderful, and this matter cannot be done without Wen You." ”

Li Ru smiled and said, "My father-in-law has won the award, and this is a matter for my son-in-law." ”

"When the time comes, there will be too many palace maids, and you can't ask for them all, so you should be rewarded with a little bit." Dong Zhuo was in a good mood, and while enjoying the handmaid's leg beating, he asked again, "Wenyou, now that we are in the hands of the military, what should we do next?" ”

Li Ru replied without hesitation: "When the people of Luoyang are popular, it is a permanent plan." ”

Historically, the person who suggested that Dong Zhuo move the capital and burn Luoyang was also Li Ru, but it was because of the urgency of the situation at that time, first, that he could not leave so many people to the princes of Kwantung, and second, Yongzhou was vast and sparsely populated, and the population was needed to reclaim wasteland, and the population was needed to replenish the military resources.

Dong Zhuo asked, "How should I receive it?" ”

Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "Collecting the hearts of the people of Luoyang should be on one person, if the father-in-law can accept this person, then the people of Luoyang will be attached." ”

Dong Zhuo was surprised, and immediately asked, "Wen You, who is it that is so good?" ”

"This person is also an old friend of his father-in-law." Li Ru's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly, "It's the horse Cao Ju is also." (To be continued.) )
