When Dong Zhuo returned to the Taiwei Mansion, he immediately called Li Ru and Jia Xu, told Cao Ju about the battle against Kong Ling, and asked the two what Cao Ju meant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ru and Jia Xu were also a little surprised, although they felt a little weird, but they didn't find anything wrong, after all, Sun Jian was one of the Kwantung princes, and Kong Ling was too.

Seeing that Li Ru and Jia Xu also felt that there was no problem, Dong Zhuo relieved himself, and even ordered someone to allocate enough food and ordnance to Cao Ju's army.

After getting out of Dong Zhuo's carriage, although Cao Ju was overjoyed, he didn't dare to be overjoyed immediately, for fear of being discovered by Dong Zhuo's spies and arousing Dong Zhuo's suspicions.

Dong Zhuo seems to be rough, but in fact, he is careful, in order to control Luoyang's public opinion and anti-Dong situation, he sent countless secret agents, all over Luoyang City, unless the big news is reported at any time, once a day.

Back in the mansion, Cao Ju couldn't help the smile on his face, and immediately ordered someone to invite Yan Zhong and He Hao.

After Yan Zhong and He Hao arrived, they couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard the unexpected news, and He Hao even said: "My lord, the princes of Kwantung are righteous and anti-Dong, which is in line with the will of the people, but the lord took the initiative to ask for help and raise troops to fight against Kong Ling, which is really unwise. ”

Yan Zhong is a native of Xiliang, and his resistance to Dong Zhuo is very small, and he shook his head when he heard the words: "This is wrong, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the imperial power fell, although the princes raised troops, but there were a few people who were sincere to the Han, and they were all just taking the opportunity to divide one side." The chaos in the world has been achieved, and only strength is the best. ”

"The lord secretly worships Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo has such characters as Li Ru and Jia Xu under his command, how can he be easily concealed by the lord. Therefore, even if the lord does not ask for help this time, Dong Zhuo will also order the lord to lead the troops to the battle, and the result will be the same. Zhong believes that the lord should take Yingchuan with lightning speed when he sends troops, so as to deter the Kwantung princes and make them dare not underestimate the lord in the future. ”

This is the difference between Yan Zhong and He Hao, Yan Zhong is from the Han clan and has always been suppressed, and his loyalty to the imperial power is almost none, or very low. But He Hao is a Qingliu faction, and the Qingliu faction has always taken loyalty to the monarch and serving the country as its own responsibility, and its loyalty to the imperial power is quite high, just like Xun Yu in history.

Cao Ju also knew that He Hao and Xun Yu were the same kind of people, but at the moment there were only these two of his advisers, and he liked He Hao's talents, so he couldn't do without him.

Cao Ju nodded and said: "What Zifeng said is very true, today Dong Zhuo shouted to Gu to get on the car, just to let Gu lead the army south and attack Sun Jian, Gu saw that the situation was not good, so he found an excuse to invite Yingdong to enter Yingchuan." ”

"Uh......" At this moment, He Hao didn't say anything anymore, Sun Jian is the descendant of Sun Wuzi, Kong Ling is the descendant of Confucius, it is not good to attack either one, and the light of the two weights is the lesser of the two, or Kong Ling is easier to deal with.

Seeing that He Hao no longer had any objections, Cao Ju also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Boqiu, Lonely, you stay in Luoyang and take care of all the affairs of the Horse Mansion. ”

He Hao arched his hand and said: "Yes, the lord, he must live up to the lord's trust." ”

Cao Ju nodded and said: "Zifeng, this time I sent troops, and Gu Fengru sacrificed wine for the military advisor, and went out with Gu to fight." ”

Yan Zhong also arched his hand and said, "Faithfully obey the orders of the lord." ”

Cao Ju said again: "Dong Zhuo's intention, the sooner the troops are dispatched, the better, you will go to the military camp with Gu now to arrange the dispatch of troops." ”

Yan Zhong arched his hand and said, "Huh." ”

After going out, Yan Zhong asked Cao Ju: "The reason why the lord chose to send troops to Yingchuan is because of Yingchuan's talent?" ”

Cao Ju smiled: "Those who know me, Zi Fengye." ”

"It's not that the Lord is loyal to the Lord, but the Lord is fair and sighs for a long time that there is a shortage of talents under his command, so the Loyal will have this guess." Yan Zhong stroked the short beard under his chin with a smile and said, "It's just that at the moment, Dong Zhuo has done something to abolish the establishment, which is not tolerated by the world, and the lord is now serving under his command, but I am afraid that the talented people in the world may not be dependent on the lord." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "I don't know, but Yingchuan is so talented, how can I miss it." ”

"Hmm." Yan Zhong frowned, nodded and said, "Lord, the only way to do it at the moment is to send someone to Yingchuan first to spread the reason why the Lord has to serve under Dong Zhuo. After all, the Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the lord had to stay in Luoyang and serve Dong Zhuo because of the old lady and the emperor, as well as the life of the queen mother and King Hongnong. ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "The eldest husband should be worthy of heaven and earth, so why bother to explain everything." This time to attack Yingchuan, those talents who can serve the lonely, Lone will definitely be reused, and if they do not want to serve the lonely, Lone will not miss it. ”

Yan Zhong was stunned for a moment, how could he not miss it if he didn't want to serve, he wondered in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask to the end.

Since Yan Zhong didn't ask, of course Cao Ju wouldn't take the initiative to explain.

After arriving at the barracks, Cao Ju immediately ordered people to gather Cao Chun, Cao Peng, Hua Xiong, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun and other generals, and told them about the preparations to move the army eastward and attack Yingchuan Kongling.

Gao Shun was ordered by Ding Yuan to stay in Luoyang to help Cao Ju train the trapping camp, although he had basically formed an army, Cao Ju had never been on the battlefield with a large army, so he kept Gao Shun to stay.

Cao Peng is a war maniac, after hearing this, no matter who he wants to fight, whether he should fight or not, he immediately rejoiced: "Very good, very good, since Pingliang, there has been no big war, this time it is just to relieve the itch." ”

Cao Chun and the others are all Cao Ju's subordinates, so naturally there will be no opposition, but they are worried that Cao Ju will not take him east. But Gao Shun was not, he frowned when he heard this, and said: "Don Ma, Dong Zhuo's move to abolish the establishment has lost the heart of the world, this time the Kwantung princes are on the contrary, it is for the sake of righteousness, but the Don Ma wants to send troops to fight, it seems to be a little ......."

Lu Bu wanted to kill Ding Yuan and voted for Dong Zhuo, so Gao Shun hated Dong Zhuo very much, and was also dissatisfied with Cao Ju's attachment to Dong Zhuo, so he asked to return to the state many times.

What made Gao Shun feel dissatisfied was not only Cao Ju, but also Ding Yuan, because the princes of the Eleventh Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but Ding Yuan was the only one missing. Gao Shun really didn't understand, the relationship with Dong Zhuo was like this, why didn't Ding Yuan send troops.

Cao Ju sighed and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and Lone is not afraid of Dong Zhuo's violence, however, Lonely's mother, Lonely's teacher, and the lives of the Queen Mother and King Hongnong are all in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Lonely must obey orders." ”

Seeing that Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, Cao Ju continued: "Duke Jianyang almost lost his life to Dong Zhuo's plan, Zhong Da will not want to play for Dong Zhuo, but he can stay in Luoyang and continue to train and fall into the camp, so good?" (To be continued.) )
