Chapter 266: Cao Ju Asks for War
Dong Zhuo's physical strength is indeed good, while doing this, while chatting with Cao Ju, he didn't even pant at all, but the palace maid soon couldn't stand it, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only grit her teeth and hold back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "This is the purpose of inviting Canghe to come here, and I want to listen to Canghe's high opinion." ”
Grandma, you have Li Ru and Jia Xu as a strategy, and your subordinates are even more fierce generals, isn't it easy to deal with Sun Jian, who has only 10,000 subordinates, and he actually came to ask me specifically, obviously trying to test me.
Cao Ju frowned, deliberately pretended to groan, and said, "Even so, the last general will speak bluntly. The last general thought that Sun Wentai was indeed a talent, and the Ming Duke could first recruit him, and he would be good with Qin and Jin, and then recommend the Sun clan as officials, so as to impress Sun Jian's heart, if he did not obey, he would meet with swords and soldiers. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, this method can be tried, but if it doesn't follow, how can the sword and the soldiers meet?" ”
Cao Ju understood a little that Dong Zhuo wanted him to lead the army to Luyang to deal with Sun Jian.
Fighting with Sun Jian, Cao Ju is not afraid of him at all, Sun Jian at the moment, there are not many capable people under his command, and Sun Ce, who will occupy the six counties of Jiangdong in the future, cannot be compared.
Since he had to follow Dong Zhuo, Cao Ju was mentally prepared, once the fight started, Dong Zhuo would probably send him to the front line, otherwise, why would Dong Zhuo bother so much trouble and trick Cao Xu and others into Luoyang.
It's just that fighting with Sun Jian is not what Cao Ju wants, it's not that Cao Ju is afraid of Sun Jian, but Sun Jian is really too weak at this time, and what Cao Ju really wants to fight against is these princes in the north, especially Kong Ling.
Kong Ling, Tunbing Yingchuan, what kind of place is Yingchuan, it is the hometown of Dayu, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history, and the place with the most private learning in the late Han Dynasty, and the most talents gathered.
Some of the Three Kingdoms books write about Yingchuan Academy, in fact, the academy was officially founded in the Tang Dynasty, whether there was Yingchuan Academy in the Eastern Han Dynasty is actually no historical data to examine, but it is indeed a popular private school. The family or celebrities or many private schools to teach and educate people, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Xuan and other well-known people, can also be considered to have come out of the many private schools in Yingchuan.
Therefore, the person Cao Ju wanted to fight the most was Kong Ling, easily defeated him, and then captured Yingchuan, or recruited, or co-opted, or forcibly captured, in short, he got a bunch of talents.
If Dong Zhuo opened his mouth first, Cao Ju would have no way to redeem it, so he hurriedly said before Dong Zhuo opened his mouth: "Can Duke Ming know what the real reason for General Hu Zhen's defeat is?" ”
Dong Zhuo really wanted to say something about letting Cao Ju lead the troops south to fight against Sun Jian, but when Cao Ju suddenly asked like this, he became curious and asked, "What is the reason?" ”
Hey, looking at Dong Zhuo's expression, it seems that Li Ru and Jia Xu didn't tell Dong Zhuo the real reason, Cao Ju was strange in his heart, and secretly thought, oh, yes, Hu Zhen is Dong Zhuo's confidant, Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's son, these two people's status is not low, if Li Ru or Jia Xu tell the truth, it is equivalent to offending both of them.
So, Cao Ju smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, but the general is handsome and discordant." ”
"The generals are not in harmony?" Dong Zhuo's face changed greatly when he heard this, his body trembled for a while, and then he couldn't hold it anymore, and after shooting like a shot, he got down from the palace maid, and while accepting three other women to help him clean up, his small eyes narrowed, and he said angrily: "Such an important matter, Wen You and Wen He dared to deceive Yu Gu, if it weren't for Canghe to tell the truth today, wouldn't Gu have been kept in the dark?" ”
Cao Ju's heart moved, and he secretly thought that since he had already told Dong Zhuo about this reason, it was better to say it more directly, so as to win Dong Zhuo's trust, at least it could eliminate the suspicions of Li Ru and Jia Xu, and even fall into a favor.
So, Cao Ju said with a smile: "Ming Gong don't blame Wen You and Mr. Wen He, General Hu Zhen is the confidant of Ming Gong, Feng Xian is Ming Gongyi's son, these two are not in harmony, how Wen You and Mr. Wen He judge right and wrong, so they can only not judge, but not deceive Ming Gongye." ”
Hearing Cao Ju's words, Dong Zhuo was angry, and laughed even more: "Since Canghe exonerated the two of them, Lone will spare the two of them this time, if he dares to deceive Yu Gu again, he will definitely not forgive." ”
Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's happy mood, Cao Ju immediately said: "Ming Gong, the failure of Ming Gong's southern expedition to Sun Quan is bound to greatly increase the morale of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and it will also cause the opposition to Ming Gong in Luoyang City to be higher. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "That's what Lone also meant, so he invited Canghe to get on the car, and wanted to make Canghe lead the army and ...... in the south."
What is in the south, it must be Sun Jian in the south, Cao Ju was most worried about this sentence, immediately interrupted Dong Zhuo's words, hugged his fists and said: "Ming Gong, the last general thinks that Sun Jian's army has won a new victory, and its morale is like a rainbow, so he can't enter the army to suppress it in the short term." ”
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment and asked: "The intention of the cang, you can't enter and suppress Sun Jian, could it be that you send troops to a few other places?" ”
Cao Ju said with a smile: "That's right, that's why, the last general asks for battle, and is willing to mention 30,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, send troops to Yingchuan, and first exterminate Kong Ling's soldiers and horses, so as to deter the princes of Kwantung." ”
"Kong Ling?" Dong Zhuo was stunned, Cao Ju's request was too different from Li Ru's suggestion.
Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo send Cao Ju to lead an army south to conquer Sun Jian, firstly because Sun Jian was brave and could not be defeated by Cao Ju, and secondly, he wanted to see if Cao Ju would do his best to see how loyal he was.
Cao Ju nodded and said: "Ming Gong, the princes of the eleventh road, there are five soldiers, namely Luyang, Hanoi, Suzao, Yecheng and Yingchuan, Luyang has Sun Jian, Hanoi has Yuan Shao, and there are many princes of Sujube, the most prosperous troops, Yecheng is the farthest away, Jizhou has many soldiers and generals, and it is difficult to attack everywhere, but Yingchuan Kong Ling, the soldiers are few and few, and the last general is like exploring the bag to take things. ”
"General Hu Zhen is newly defeated, the morale of our army is low, and Luoyang City is full of backlash, so it is imperative for Ming Gong to win a big victory as quickly as possible, improve morale, shock Kanto, and eliminate the backlash, please Ming Gong Ming."
"Well......" I have to say that Cao Ju's words came to Dong Zhuo's heart, although this was much worse than the advice Li Ru gave him, but the essence was to take the initiative to attack the Kwantung princes again, but it was hard or soft.
Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, in Canghe's words, I will order you to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses from your headquarters, choose a day to attack, attack Yingchuan, and kill Kong Ling." ”
Cao Ju breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "The last general will be ordered." (To be continued.) )
