Chapter 050: Scarlet Sun
When Dong Zhuo received the news of the Sour Jujube Alliance, he could no longer describe his mood with anger. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The last time Yang Ding came back, although he was angry, he no longer lingered when he wanted to open it. Although LΓΌ Bu was actually out of his control, he never jumped out to announce that he was going to crusade against him, and also helped him stabilize the situation in Hedong, and easily cleaned up the Southern Huns who were in trouble.
Now looking at the actions of these people in the Sour Jujube Alliance, and then comparing them with Lu Bu, Dong Zhuocai feels that Lu Bu is not wrong at all when he says that he should thank him.
In order to appease the Yuan family, the imperial court named Yuan Kui as Taifu, which is a higher position than the Third Duke, second only to Taishi. Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang without saying a word, and Dong Zhuo asked the imperial court to grant him the position of Bohai Taishou. Yuan Shu also quietly left Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo asked the imperial court to crown him as a general.
Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling was recommended and appointed by Dong Zhuo!
Jizhou Mu Hanfu was also recommended and appointed by Dong Zhuo!
Hanoi is too shou Wang Kuang, or Dong Zhuo recommended and appointed!
β¦β¦
Dong Zhuo really has an urge to look up to the sky and scold his mother, he feels that he is not thin on these scholars!
He rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the disaster of the party, right? He promoted the use of scholars' children as officials, right? Empress Dowager He, the old pious woman who didn't understand anything, but wanted to be dictatorial and chaotic, was he killed? Even the Bai Bo Army, which was causing trouble in Hedong, was he sent troops to suppress it, right?
Dong Zhuo really couldn't figure out why these people would join forces to crusade against him, because they were all beneficiaries!
If Lu Bu was still in Luoyang at this time, he would tell Dong Zhuo why.
Because, the class origin is different!
Dong Zhuo represents a group of warriors from a humble background who rely on courage to fight and eat, while the leaders of the Sour Jujube Alliance are all representatives of the interests of the scholar class. In the eyes of the scholar group, the status of the warrior group is lower than that of the scholar group, and the warriors cannot interfere in politics, and only the scholars are qualified to play with the power of the court! At this point, there is no possibility of compromise.
He Jin was killed, the eunuch was executed, the young emperor was deposed, Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, the Baibo uprising, the sour jujube alliance, everything is actually a struggle for power between different classes!
Lu Bu, who was far away in Yong'an, knew that the Sour Jujube Alliance would happen, but he stayed out of the matter, precisely because he saw through the essence of these events.
Dong Zhuo is the representative of the Martial Arts Group, and Lu Bu's current identity is not a miniature version of Dong Zhuo? The young emperor Liu Xie was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the deposed emperor Liu Bian was controlled by Lu Bu, the scholars gritted their teeth and rubbed their hands, at this time Lu Bu rushed in to help the scholars beat Dong Zhuo, wasn't he being used as a gunman? When Dong Zhuo is finished, what good will Lu Bu, who is even weaker, do?
The furious Dong Zhuo completely lost his patience and trust in the scholars, and he did a terrible thing in Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo sent troops to surround the mansions of Taifu Yuan Kui and Taifu Yuan Ji, arrested everyone in the two mansions, and then lined up on the compound road between the South Palace and the North Palace, and in front of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, more than 70 members of the Yuan family, regardless of age and young, all cut off their heads!
Before Yuan Kui died, he scolded Dong Zhuo for not dying well. Dong Zhuo laughed wildly, saying that even if he didn't die well, he would kill the Yuan family first, so that he could feel happy!
After killing Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji's two families, Dong Zhuo still felt angry, and even indulged the soldiers to wantonly plunder property and plunder women in Luoyang City, and called it "searching prisons"!
All of a sudden, the blood in Luoyang City was surging to the sky, and the wailing and screaming continued, like hell on earth.
At this time, Li Ru did not dare to dissuade Dong Zhuo, who was almost crazy, so he had to wait until Dong Zhuo's mood calmed down before suggesting to Dong Zhuo: "There are still many disgruntled celebrities in Luoyang City, if they are all killed, it will inevitably be suspected of indiscriminate killing of innocents." Why not send these people to the Kanto region, and use their small families as hostages to force them to go to the Kwantung armies to persuade them to surrender. If you can persuade one or two people, it will be a harvest. If he can't persuade him to surrender, with Yuan Benchu's original heart, after hearing the news that Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji were killed, he will inevitably vent his anger on the heads of these celebrities who went to surrender and kill them. In this way, the Kwantung coalition army was also divided. β
Li Ru's plan is very vicious, it can be said to be the highest level of killing people with a knife, and with Yuan Shao's character, the probability of success is very high.
Dong Zhuo immediately detained the families of officials such as Han Rong of Dahongluqing, Yin Xiu of Shaofu Qing, Hu Wuban of Zhijinwu, Wu Xiu, a master craftsman, and Wang Huan, a captain of the Yue Cavalry, and forced them to leave Luoyang and go to the east of Hugao Pass to recruit and surrender against Dong Lianjun.
These celebrities led by Han Rong are almost all ministerial-level ministers of the imperial court.
Han Rong was born in Yingchuan, and Xun Shuang, Chen Ji and others were recruited as doctors, and his fame moved the world, compared to Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and other great Confucians. Hu Wuban was very famous when he was young, and he followed Du Shang, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang and other eight people to "go to righteousness with light wealth and revitalize people", and was called "eight kitchens" by the world. The rest of the people are also very famous, and they are all from a family of scholars.
Not long after Han Rong and the others left Luoyang, the envoy sent by Lu Bu saw Dong Zhuo.
This time, on behalf of Lu Bu, it was Chen Gong who came to see Dong Zhuo, a person who was resourceful and not afraid of death.
Dong Zhuo asked Chen Gong: "Lu Fengxian is now living in Yong'an, okay?" β
Chen Gong replied: "Practicing soldiers and horses all day long, the bravery is incomparable. β
Dong Zhuo asked Chen Gong again: "Lu Fengxian sent you to Luoyang this time, did you want to negotiate conditions with me?" β
Chen Gong replied, "The main thing is to offer advice. β
Dong Zhuo sneered and asked Chen Gong Lu Bu what strategy he offered?
Chen Gong said that he offered a strategy on how to force back the Kwantung coalition army.
Dong Zhuo was no longer careless, and hurriedly asked someone to give Chen Gong a seat, and listened to Lu Bu's strategy of retreating.
Chen Gong said: "The Kwantung coalition army seems to be powerful, but each has its own ghosts, and each has calculations, Xiangguo only needs to send troops to defend the Tiger Prison Pass, Huanyi Pass, Lantian Pass and Mengjin Pass, and wait for the Kwantung Coalition Army to run out of food, and will be able to see its internal strife and killing, and reap the benefits." β
Dong Zhuo was noncommittal to Chen Gong's suggestion, and said: "The military advisor under my command has already had a plan, which is much more clever than the strategy you offered. If this strategy is alone, how can Lu Fengxian get benefits from me! β
Chen Gong said indifferently: "What if you add the abolition of the emperor? β
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Chen Gong viciously. "Humph! Lu Bu, do a good thing! Now that Liu Bian has long been abolished, how can I do anything? β
Chen Gong smiled without saying a word, looking at Li Ru beside Dong Zhuo.
Li Ru was helpless, so he had to remind Dong Zhuo in a low voice: "If Lu Bu hands over Liu Bian to the Kwantung Coalition Army, I am afraid that Yuan Shao and others will support Liu Bian as the emperor, so that the big thing will not be good." β
Dong Zhuo Huoran got up, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed at Chen Gong obliquely, and threatened: "Aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Bu sent you to be a lobbyist and let you threaten the prime minister, and today the prime minister will take your head and let people return Lu Bu! β
Chen Gongduan couldn't sit still, looked at Dong Zhuo with a calm face and said, "If Xiangguo wants to kill the palace, it's just a matter of raising his hands." Just killed Chen Gong, can Xiangguo resist the alliance of Hu Ben Zhonglang and Guo Da and Yang Feng? Once the barrier to the east of the river is lost and the road between Hangu Pass and Tongguan is cut off, can the army under the command of Xiangguo still guard the Tiger Pass, Huanyi Pass, and Lantian Pass with peace of mind? β
