Chapter 18 Li Ru offers a plan to watch the tiger fight, Xun Yu suggests that he is strong
The three of them slowly descended the stairs, and the kettle was already settled down at this time. There were few people in the www.biquge.info of the pen, the fun, and the pavilion, and there were only a few people in Huguan City, and there were not even more than the garrison. In addition, Han Jun strictly ordered military discipline to prohibit disturbing the people, so after a brief panic, the residents quickly adapted to the reality of being occupied.
The three of them chatted as they walked, and the faces of Fu Zhu and Xun Yu were very relaxed, only Han Jun's face was solemn, "According to what Mr. Wen Ruo said, am I helpless against these places?" ”
Xun Yu shook his head slightly and said: "There is naturally a way, and the foundation of the state scholar clan is weak. The lord can support the Wang family, the Wen family and other scholars to fight against it, and then slowly figure it out. ”
"That's not going to work!" Han Jun refused without thinking about it, whether it was a scholar clan or a local tycoon, Han Jun didn't have a good impression, he didn't want to fight the wolf at the front door and enter the tiger at the back door.
Fu Zhu sighed and said: "Although I was born in poverty, I have to say that what Brother Wen Ruo said is the most effective strategy at present. Although most of the scholars are also derived from local heroes, the scholars know honesty and shame, and they are easier to control than local heroes. ”
Xun Yu was born in the scholar clan, so what he thought and thought was naturally considered by the scholar clan, but Fu Zhu also said so, Han Jun had to think about it.
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet! It's better to wait until the whole territory of the state is laid down and then consider this headache! Han Jun waved his hand irritably and said, "It is still unknown what arrangements the imperial court will make, but no matter what, the military dispatch and the annexation of the state are no longer changeable. I wonder what the two gentlemen think? ”
Xun Yu groaned: "Although the soldiers and horses under the command of the lord are majestic, except for the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the four counties of Jizhou, there are only more than 5,000 people left. Therefore, it was given that the most important thing at the moment was to recruit soldiers and expand the number of soldiers and horses. Our army has enough money and food, it is not difficult to recruit troops, and the people of the annexed state are fierce, and with a little training, you can get tens of thousands of strong and majestic soldiers! ”
Fu Zhu agreed: "Your Majesty suggests that the lord take the party first, the two counties of Taiyuan. If these two counties are in hand, the rest of the counties can be determined! ”
Han Jun nodded and said, "Just listen to the two gentlemen." The commander of the army division is in the military strategy, so please start arranging the affairs of the counties. Mr. Wen Ruo is good at civil affairs, so please preside over the recruitment of soldiers. ”
Chang'an, Yiwu.
After Dong Zhuo hijacked the Son of Heaven and moved westward, he was no longer interested in controlling the government and the filthy harem. Although the coalition of the princes of the thirteen towns did not attack Luoyang City in the end, it also scared Dong Zhuo a lot.
Dong Zhuo, who was like a frightened bird, the first thing he did after arriving in Chang'an was to make great efforts to build the Yiwu. Seven zhang high, seven zhang thick, the name is called "long live dock". In the commentary, the Tianbo Yang Mansion of "civil officials get off the sedan chair and military generals get off the horse" is fictional, but before Yiwu, everyone had to walk through, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries were no exception. When he was in Luoyang, there were still people who dared to go against Dong Zhuo. But when he arrived in Chang'an, none of the civil and military officials dared to wrestle with Dong Zhuo anymore. Since killing the respected Taifu Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo, who is bound to revenge, there is no one in the world who he does not dare to kill.
In the Wuwu, there are countless gold and silver treasures, 800 beauties, millions of grain and grass, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers with armor. Dong Zhuo has realized that his end is approaching, he can kill ten people and hundreds of people, but he can't kill all the people in the world. Inside and outside the court, up and down the river, there were voices of opposition everywhere, and Dong Zhuo already felt deep exhaustion. Now he has long lost his ambition to dominate the world before, and he stays in the dock all day long and lives a life of "having wine today and getting drunk today".
On the huge bed, Dong Zhuo leaned on the body of a young girl, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and raised it to the people below the hall from a distance: "Wenyou, although you and I are named Weng-in-law, in fact, father and son, in front of me, you don't have to be so restrained, come, accompany me to drink this cup!" ”
The people under the hall, with a clear complexion, three short hairs, and gloomy eyes, are none other than the "No. 1 Poisoner of the Three Kingdoms" Li Ru and Li Wenyou.
Although Jia Xu is called "Poisoner", he is far inferior to Li Ru in terms of cruelty and viciousness. Among Dong Zhuo's subordinates, the most hated person in the world is Li Ru. Not only because Li Ru offered a plan to burn Luoyang, but also because Li Ru committed the heinous "crime of killing the king!" ”
Dong Zhuo also trusts Li Ru. In the important place of Yiwu, even if Lu Bu wants to come in, he needs to be groomed, but Li Ru is the only one, not only does not need to be groomed, but he can also walk around in Hewu without restrictions.
Li Ru sighed slightly, raised his glass and took a sip, the sweet and fragrant wine in Dong Zhuo's mouth was extremely bitter in Li Ru's mouth.
"Now that the undercurrent is surging upward, the Taishi has not shown up for a long time, and I am afraid that something will happen!"
Dong Zhuo shook his head indifferently and said: "A group of powerless Confucians, what kind of splash can they make without a knife in their hands?" Wenyou, don't worry about it! ”
Li Ru's smile became even more bitter, after moving west to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was completely like a different person, and he couldn't listen to his words at all.
Suddenly remembered something, Li Ru arched his hand and said: "Recently, Han Jun, the son of Han Fu, invited himself to join the state pastor, I don't know what the opinion of the Taishi is?" ”
Dong Zhuoyi frowned and said unhappily: "Han Fu? The white-eyed wolf. In vain, I trusted him and sent him to the rich land of Jizhou, thinking that he would help me keep an eye on Yuan Shao's bastard, but I didn't expect this immature white-eyed wolf to turn around and join forces with Yuan Shao to deal with me! The son of this old bastard must be a little bastard, and he still wants to be in charge of one side before his hair grows? Although the land is poor and remote, it is also the place where I started, how can I let this little bastard go to waste the scourge? Don't tell me about this kind of thing in the future, and you don't have to pay attention to it at all! ”
Li Ru shook his head and said, "What the Taishi said is not accurate. ”
Dong Zhuo seemed to be interested, turned over and sat up with difficulty, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "Although Han Fu once formed an alliance with Yuan Shao, now he and Yuan Shao are incompatible, and the sword and soldiers have met!" ”
Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes, "Why?" ”
Li Ru replied: "About a month ago, Yuan Shao plotted against Jizhou, tricked Gongsun Zan into sending troops south, and at the same time sent lobbyists to encourage Han Fu to give up Jizhou in order to avoid trouble. Han Fu had already promised to give way to Yuan Shao......"
"Bastard!" Dong Zhuo didn't wait for Li Ru to finish speaking, he was already so angry that he slapped the table, "Yuan Shao has opposed me three times and five times, and now that the rich and prosperous Jizhou has fallen into his hands, isn't it even more difficult to deal with?" ”
Li Ru laughed and said: "The Taishi is angry, and listen to Confucian's words!" ”
Dong Zhuo puffed out his cheeks, "Then say it!" ”
Li Ru continued: "I'm going to talk about this Han Jun next, and I want me to say that although Han Fu is cowardly and dumb, he is not worth mentioning, but he gave birth to a good son. This Han Jun only led 5,000 soldiers and horses to dare to go north to meet Gongsun Zhan......"
"Needless to say, he must have been defeated by Gongsun Zhan, and fled to Bingzhou to ask Master Ben for a place to live, right?"
Dong Zhuo was in a hurry, and once again interrupted Li Ru's words.
Li Ru smiled bitterly, but he had already been accustomed to Dong Zhuo's problem, so he didn't care, stroked his beard and continued: "On the contrary, Han Jun won more with less, defeated Gongsun Zhan, and only five or six thousand people were left who followed Gongsun Zhan back to Youzhou......"
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo's face was full of surprise, "I have also seen Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is by no means under our Xiliang soldiers, this little rabbit cub is amazing!" ”
Li Ru nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Moreover, the most important thing is that the losses of Han Jun's troops are very small, and the casualties are only more than a thousand people. ”
Dong Zhuo licked his lips and muttered to himself: "This kid has the demeanor of my youth!" Then he asked Li Rudao: Since Gongsun Chan was defeated, then Han Wenjie doesn't have to give up Jizhou, right?"
Li Ru sighed and said: "Although there is a unicorn in the Han Wenjie, but his own talent is insufficient, Yuan Shao waved his army north, and the inside and outside should join forces to capture Yecheng in one fell swoop." ”
Dong Zhuo sighed, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, "Yuan Shao is only a county guard, so he can call on the princes of the thirteen towns." Now that he holds the first state in the world, I'm afraid that the end of my life is not far away! ”
Li Ru hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Taishi! Although Yuan Benchu's family background is prominent, he himself is not very talented, and it is not difficult to break it! ”
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "In this case, why did you burn Luoyang in the first place and come west in a hurry? ”
Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Gai because someone has taken a bad breath for us!" ”
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo became interested again, sat up straight and asked anxiously, "Who is it?" ”
Li Ru replied: "It's Han Jun and Han Boyan!" After Yuan Shao took Yecheng, he sent his general Yan Liang and the regents to the north to attack Han Jun! Along the way, he fell into Han Jun's arrogant strategy, and the back road was cut off! All the way, Han Jun attacked the camp at night and suffered heavy losses! ”
"Rejoice! Wen You, come, you and I drink this cup for Yuan Benchu! ”
Dong Zhuo laughed and raised the wine bottle to drink it all, this was the happiest news he had ever heard recently. Dong Zhuo already hated Yuan Shao to the core, and when he heard that Yuan Shao was unlucky, how could he be unlucky?
"Huh? No, since that Han Jun defeated Yuan Shao, why did he give up the rich Jizhou, but tried to merge the bitter and cold state? ”
Dong Zhuo is not a stupid person, although his personality is a little impatient, he is not stupid.
Li Ru sighed and said, "Because, the Han Wenjie is in Yuan Shao's hands!" Han Jun threw a rat bogey and was forced to make peace with Yuan Shaoyan! ”
Dong Zhuo pursed his lips and said on a whim: "Wen You, what do you say if I recruit Han Jun to become an official?" If there are such talents to defend Chang'an, why should I be afraid of the Kwantung princes? ”
Li Ru pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "What the Taishi said is not a bad way for the old man to seek the country. But Confucianism thinks that this is the best policy, not the best policy! ”
Li Ru objected to his opinion, Dong Zhuo was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Then what is the best policy?" ”
Li Ru groaned: "Let's not talk about whether Han Jun is willing to accept the Taishi's conquest. Just said that Yuan Shao became the ruler of Jizhou, and the momentum of sitting on the throne has been achieved. The mountains and rivers of Jizhou in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away, and it is not easy for our army to cut down. Since the retreat of our army to the west, the princes of the Kwantung region have been attacking each other incessantly. In the land of Hebei, Liu Yuren did not know about military affairs, Gongsun Zan was brave but not strategic, and as for Kong Rong, Bao Xin and other mediocre people, there is no need to say. Confucianism inferred that if there was no accident, there should be no opponent of Yuan Benchu. The land of Hebei, with thousands of miles of fertile soil and a large population, can easily get a million armor, which will become a big trouble for our army. Therefore, why don't Taishi push the boat along the river, and at the same time form a good fate, Han Jun can attack the Huns in the north, Yuan Shao in the east, and fight for the thieves for my Han Dynasty! Confucianism suggested that Han Jun be enshrined as the pastor of the state and be surrounded by false titles, so that he could confront Yuan Shao, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Dong Zhuo groaned: "What if Han Jun is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised like him? ”
Li Ru sighed and said: "This time is different from the past, whether the Taishi wants it or not, it is a foregone conclusion that Han Jun will lead the state pastor by himself!" ”
Dong Zhuo's face became very ugly, how could he not know that the imperial decree was now a dead letter in the Kanto states, but he was unwilling to accept this reality in his heart!
Sighing and asking, "Wen You is just worried that Yuan Shao will sit big, isn't he afraid that Han Jun will sit big?" ”
Li Ru said confidently: "Don't worry, Taishi, Han Boyan's prestige and reputation are far inferior to Yuan Shao's, and if our army sends troops from Hedong, it can reach Jinyang City in one day." Can he, Han Boyan, block the Youzhou cavalry, and my Xiliang Iron Cavalry? ”
Dong Zhuo bowed slightly, "That's the truth!" ”
Not long after Han Jun's army captured Jinyang City, the imperial court rewarded Pegasus and appointed Han Jun as the general of Zhenbei to lead the state pastor and give him the title of Marquis of Yongxiang.
"This big gift from Dong Thief is not small!"
Ordering the guards to lead the messenger to the post house to rest, Han Jun stroked the golden seal and purple ribbon that represented his identity and sighed.
He smiled and said: "Dong Thief hates Yuan Shao deeply, and the lord helped him out with a bad breath, so he naturally won't be too stingy!" ”
Xun Yu also smiled and said: "Although Dong Thief has no plan, there is no shortage of wise people around him, and he rewards the lord lavishly, but he ignores Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao must be resentful, this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone!" ”
Han Jun smiled indifferently and said, "If Yuan Shao had the courage to attack, he would not cede the land and pay compensation to make peace with me!" ”
Xun Yu's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "The lord must not think that Yuan Ben was not a good man at the beginning, thinking that he was only a county guard, but he was able to become the leader of the coalition army, and the person who relied on it was not only the illustrious family background, but also the reason for Yuan Shao himself." Yuan Shaoqi people, although they are more resourceful and less decisive, and they are unsuccessful, but they are bold and careful, have friends all over the world, are modest, and dare to take responsibility. I conclude that Yuan Shao can endure today's humiliation only for him to repay it ten times a day, and he is by no means cowardly to avoid war! ”
Han Jun didn't say a word, but his face turned pale. Xun Yu's words made him wake up suddenly. Unconsciously, he actually became inflated, probably defeating Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in a row, and Dong Zhuo doubled his entrapment on him, causing him to even ignore Yuan Shao a little.
Han Jun knew very well that if this kind of pride and complacency were allowed to grow, then he might not be long before he became a dry skeleton in a grave.
Han Jun, who had calmed down, bowed deeply to Xun Yu and said, "Thanks to Mr. Wen Ruo's point, otherwise the kid will die without a place to die!" ”
Xun Yu hurriedly helped Han Jun up and said, "Childe must not be too arrogant, but he must not be arrogant. Looking at the heroes of the world, few people can have such an achievement at the age of the lord! ”
Han Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare, threw the seal ribbon that he had been holding in his hand on the table, and sighed: "The flowers are becoming more and more charming!" Fame and fortune are things outside the body, power is inward, how many people in this world can be exempt from vulgarity? ”
Frustrated, he arched his hand and said: "The lord's words are thought-provoking! ”
Xun Yu also praised: "The lord's words, although they are like poll nursery rhymes, are neat and rhythmic, which is really a rare famous sentence!" ”
Han Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The two gentlemen are overrated, but they just have a feeling in their hearts for a while, and they just say it casually!" I don't deserve the praise of the two! ”
Fu Zhu and Xun Yu wanted to say anything more, but Han Jun waved his hand and said: "Two gentlemen, now that the party is in power, the two counties of Taiyuan are under control, and the strength of our army has also expanded to 30,000. How should the affairs of people's livelihood and internal affairs be handled, I don't know what the two of them think? ”
Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "The first thing is Tuntian." Although our army has transported two million stone grains from Jizhou, people must have near-term worries without foresight, and the situation is chaotic today, and only by enriching the treasury and preparing more money and grain can we be invincible! However, the number of people in the state was scarce, so his subordinates suggested that the lord adopt the method of cash-for-work to recruit displaced people and reclaim wasteland. ”
Han Jun nodded, and asked again, "What to do with the land you get?" ”
Xun Yu had already thought about the whole plan countless times in his mind, and he had already made a plan in his mind, so he immediately replied without hesitation: "The land obtained can be sold to local heroes at a price." ”
"No way!" Han Jun vetoed without thinking about it: "The local powerful forces are already big enough, and it is too much to weaken, why should they be strengthened?" ”
Xun Yu replied: "The local hao is powerful, and it can be pulled up overnight, but it can only be slowly figured." If the reclaimed land is sold to them, one can be exchanged for a large amount of goods in a short time, and the other can also show weakness to the enemy and confuse the opponent. ”
Han Jun shook his head and said, "Our army is not short of goods for the time being, and there is no need to show weakness to the enemy. ”
Xun Yu was stunned and said, "What does the lord mean?" ”
Han Jun bit his lip and said word by word: "Kill!" Kill for righteousness! Kill for the people! Kill for the world! ”
Xun Yu was shocked, "The lord can't, the local heroes and powers are intertwined, killing one and committing a hundred crimes, if they join forces, the state will be in chaos!" And once it spreads, it will inevitably greatly damage the prestige of the Lord, and the gains outweigh the losses! ”
Han Jun sneered and said, "In my territory, there can only be one voice!" If you don't worry, you can go and arrange the affairs of Tuntian, and I will personally arrange it to deal with the local heroes! ”
Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, but he was stopped by frustration. He and Han Jun have known each other for a longer time, and they know Han Jun's character better, and they know very well that once Han Jun makes up his mind, it will be difficult to stop him.
Han Jun knew very well that what Xun Yu said was the way of Lao Cheng to hold the country, but he didn't want to take Xun Yu's suggestion, not because he was impulsive and easy to kill, but because he couldn't bear to see the vast number of Li people being exploited and oppressed by local tyrants again.
