Chapter Eighty-Nine: Crusade against Dong Zhuo
"When there is no big fault today, how can it be abolished?" A minister whispered.
"Yes, this will cause turmoil in the country." The other minister whispered.
"How can you act so rashly and arbitrarily in the world?" Another minister agreed.
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo glanced at the ministers in the hall with his fierce eyes, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that everyone is not very satisfied with the old man's decision?"
"What qualifications do you have as a frontier horseman to do this?" A minister stood up proudly and pointed at Dong Zhuo and scolded angrily.
"Who are you?" Dong Zhuo put his hand on the sword at his waist and stared at the minister with his eyes.
"My lord, this person is Ding Yuan, the pastor of Bingzhou." At this time, a strategist whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear.
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo met Ding Yuan's eyes without fear. And the sword has been drawn from his waist.
"What? Want to get your hands dirty?" Ding Yuan also looked at Dong Zhuo without fear, and for a while, the entire hall was filled with tension. Behind Ding Yuan, at this time, there was an extremely majestic man, with a faint aura on his body.
"Who is this person?" Dong Zhuo quietly whispered to Li Ru beside him.
"This person is Zhang Liao, a native of Yanmen, with a great reputation, and very brave martial arts, not under my Xiliang generals." Li Ru said quietly.
"The two adults are angry, don't hurt the harmony because of this, let's drink!" Seeing that the two were about to fight, the rest of the hundred officials hurriedly got up to persuade peace.
"Humph!" Dong Zhuo also withdrew his sword when he saw that there was a step down, joke, he didn't dare to fight now, just the eyes of the man behind Ding Yuan made him shudder.
"Wenyuan, let's go!" Ding Yuan also flicked his sleeves and led the man behind him away.
Later, Dong Zhuo adopted the advice of the strategist Li Ru and sent a large number of dead soldiers to sneak into Ding Yuan's tent at night and stab Ding Yuan to death.
When Zhang Liao found out that Ding Yuan was stabbed, those dead soldiers had committed suicide, although he knew who the murderer was, but there was no evidence, and now Ding Yuan was killed, go back to the state, the generals will not forgive me for being a little captain, if you don't do it, you will be beheaded, you must avenge the Lord Gazette, Zhang Liao thought about it and finally decided to go to Youzhou to join the King of Chu, and in the future there will be a chance to ask the King of Chu to avenge himself. Zhang Liao took his five thousand wolves and rode to Youzhou overnight.
The next day, Dong Zhuo convened the minister again to discuss the matter, and no one dared to go against Dong Zhuo again. After all, everyone knows that Ding Yuan was against being killed. I wasn't so stupid to die.
The next day, Dong Zhuo forced the young emperor Chan to be located in Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, that is, the emperor of Han Xian.
But Dong Zhuo's actions. It's okay to press down on the other jumping clowns. But now among the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in Beijing, there are two heroes who immediately reacted differently.
First of all, the first hero is Cao Cao. After Cao Cao proposed Dong Zhuo's proposal to abolish the establishment, he immediately hid by Dong Zhuo's side, waiting for the opportunity to make a contribution.
Secondly, Yuan Shao, the three princes of the four clans, was arrogant and dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's arrogance, and immediately returned to his hometown in Bohai. intends to gather Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Then Situ Wang Yun summoned the ministers loyal to the Han family to discuss how to act, at this time the military captain Cao Cao resolutely spoke out, to kill Dong Zhuo, but the assassination failed, so he fled back to Chenliu overnight, and raised troops under the financial support of the local Wei family, and Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan brothers led thousands of townships to defect, Cao Hong and Cao Ren brothers also led thousands of villagers to defect to Cao Cao at the same time, and local heroes Lejin and others took refuge in Cao Cao.
In 190 AD, Cao Cao announced the start of troops in Chenliu and issued a document to summon the princes of the world to discuss Dong Zhuo.
At this time, the palace of Zhuo County, Youzhou.
"Lord, this is a letter sent to you by Cao Cao." In the meeting hall, I sat in the first place, and the left and right rows were Tian Feng, Guan Yu and others.
"Yes." I took the text handed by Fu Zhu and looked at Cao Cao's text, only to see that it read: "Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! β
"Lord, what is the matter with Cao Cao's text?" Guo Jia asked out loud.
"Cao Cao wants this king to raise troops with him to fight against Dong Zhuo." I said, stroking the handle of my chair. In fact, the underworld has already sent back the news, and I also know that it's just that life is comfortable, and I don't bother to care, Cao Cao, in order to be famous, is still fooling around, sending me a message, destroying my happy life, I have no choice but to have public deliberations, otherwise, the ministers will be chilled.
"Lord, this is a good opportunity!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? Why? "γ I looked at Guo Jia with interest.
"First of all, Cao Cao's article is issued in the name of righteousness, and the princes from all walks of life will respond positively no matter what they think in their hearts, so the lord must not worry about failure when he arrives, Dong Zhuo actually has about 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and the princes of the world must have at least hundreds of thousands of people united." Guo Jia said with a smile. "Secondly, it will be a great opportunity to show the loyalty of the lord, and then the lord will surely gain a great reputation for loyalty, and there will be many wise men to vote."
I laughed, patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said, "Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye!" The words of filial piety are in line with my meaning! β
Subsequently, Guo Jia said again: "However, the lord is going to crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo this time, remember not to form an alliance, and never to form an alliance with all the princes!" β
"Oh, why!"
Seeing this, Guo Jia had no choice but to explain: "In Jiazhi's foolish opinion, now that the national thief Dong Zhuo has become angry and resentful, and that Cao Cao also took the lead in issuing a crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo. In this way, heroes from all walks of life in the world will inevitably respond to this article. And in this case, no matter what the outcome of the alliance is, and no matter what the outcome of the crusade is, then Cao Cao's name will definitely be famous all over the world.
As a member of the Han family and the first prince of the Han Dynasty, if the current Taifu does not participate in this crusade, it will inevitably have an irreparable impact on the prestige of the lord, and will also be discussed by the people of the world. At that time, the people of the world will definitely think that the lord is a cowardly and unscrupulous person, or a person who harbors evil intentions.
In this way, it will be detrimental to the great affairs of the lord in the future. Therefore, the lord of this alliance cannot fail to participate in it no matter what. However, even if the lord participated in this alliance, it would not be of much benefit to the lord. As the lord is the pastor of Youzhou, and he is also the prince of the dynasty, he forms an alliance with other people to raise their prestige.
Moreover, after the alliance is formed, if the lord becomes the leader of the alliance, he will inevitably bear the supply of grain, grass, ordnance and other supplies for the princes of the alliance, so that the lord not only cannot take these princes for his own use, but strengthens them for no reason, making them a stumbling block on the way to the great cause of the lord in the future. And if after the alliance is formed, the lord is not the leader of the alliance, it will greatly damage the prestige of the lord, and it will also further enhance the prestige of the person who was elected as the leader of the alliance.
In this way, the alliance between the lord and the princes of all walks of life will not do all kinds of harm and no benefit? Therefore, the lord crusaded against the thief Dong Zhuo, and he must go there. However, you must not form an alliance with the princes of all kinds. β
As soon as Guo Jia said this, the strategists next to him also understood Guo Jiade's intentions. They each admired Guo Jia's high opinion.
Guan Yu's face changed slightly after hearing this, and I saw him hugging his fists at me and said: "Lord, Dong Zhuo is rebellious, and the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" β
The other people couldn't hold it back for a long time, and before Guan Yu finished speaking, Zhang Fei said with a grin: "Brother Guan, you are joking, of course the pioneer is me, what is the matter with me, this is what I have been doing for a long time!" Don't worry, the last general only needs 30,000 horses to kill Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo! β
At this time, Lu Bu also hurriedly asked: "Lord, the last general only needs 5,000 cavalry, and he will behead Dong Zhuo's head!" β
Seeing that Lu Bu came to grab the merit, Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he roared: "You only need five thousand, then I only need one thousand for Lao Zhang!" β
The two of them began to quarrel in the hall.
I looked at the two of them arguing, and suddenly laughed, and said: "Hahaha, the military heart is available, but when it comes to discussions, don't make noise, this king has his own decision!" β
When the two saw me talking, they stopped arguing. The two lowered their heads and glared at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
"There is no need for the generals to quarrel, this time to discuss Dong, you are just a formality, the real battle is to fight for hegemony in the world in the future. And there will inevitably be some surprises waiting for you this time. Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Could it be that Guo Jia will predict the jade seal?"? I said to myself, "Shall I take the jade seal?" But in this case, I'm afraid Sun Jian won't die, right? Let's give history a chance. "
Tian Feng and others also echoed the words.
"This king decides!" I felt that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, and everyone had no objections, so he got up and said. "Tomorrow, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu will lead 100,000 heavenly wolf cavalry troops to the place where the allies are assembled to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and several military advisors will also go to play together. The rest of the people are responsible for staying behind, and everything must be listened to the opinions of Mr. Gonghe and Mr. Yuanhao. Don't make any trouble!"
"No."
"Uncle Zhi, I order you to lead 20,000 horsemen first, cut off the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an, and take Hangu Pass, no matter what method you use, even if you use Thunder God to bombard the city gate, you must take it for me, and try to achieve fewer casualties. Can it be done. "I looked at Chen Zhi and ordered, in fact, I also know that Dong Zhuo's fat man, if he can't fight, he always wants to run, I cut his way back first, and when the chasing soldiers catch up, Dong Zhuo will only die if he doesn't surrender.
"The Lord is really a celestial man! Even if Dong Zhuo is defeated if he doesn't start a war, he will even block the way out. Guo Jia thought about it, and immediately found the deep meaning of the lord, and complimented.
"The subordinates received the order and guaranteed to take Hangu Pass within two months." Chen Zhi replied solemnly. He turned around and left.
