Chapter 108: Coup d'état
General Zhang, who had lost the grain and grass battalion, quickly fled back to Chang'an, and spread the news of the defeat of Dong Zhuo's army everywhere, saying that Dong Zhuo's army suffered heavy losses on the front line and retreated on all fronts, and they were only the first to run back.
Wang Yun in this life originally planned to use the serial scheme, but before he could use it on Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had already set out on the expedition, so under Lu Bu's repeated requests, Wang Yun had no choice but to promise to arrange for Lu Bu and Diao Chan to marry as soon as possible, but he always dragged it out, and Lu Bu was getting more and more urged these days;
Just today, Wang Yun received the news that made Wang Yun very happy, that is, he learned that Dong Zhuo in Hangu Pass had suffered an unprecedented defeat, and even the troops were scattered, maybe Dong Zhuo himself was dead, and this was the best time for a coup;
During the time when Dong Zhuo went on the expedition, Wang Yun had quietly contacted Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian also gave Wang Yun an edict to exterminate Dong thief, telling Wang Yun that he could take it out at the right time;
And most of the scholars in Chang'an are looking forward to Wang Yun's horses, and now Wang Yun only has military power, originally Wang Yun planned to use a series of schemes to provoke the contradictions between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, but now these are saved;
Wang Yun also knew through contact with Lu Bu these days that Lu Bu attaches great importance to immediate interests, and the relationship with Dong Zhuo is not so good, and in many cases, Dong Zhuo will be angry with Lu Bu because of some trivial things;
And Lu Bu did not dare to contradict Dong Zhuo's authority because he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's authority, but the rift in his heart had already appeared, and he was about to ignite it at an opportunity, and now was the time, so as soon as Wang Yun learned the news, he was ready to go to Lu Bu's mansion to induce Lu Bu to launch a coup d'état with him in the name of discussing family affairs;
【Wenhou Mansion】
Wang Yun rode in his own luxurious carriage, second only to Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, and the coachman waved a horsewhip; The sound of the wheeling carriage was like rain beating on the crystal white marble, and in the golden sunlight, the reflection of an elegant carriage passed leisurely on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The carriage was covered on all sides with expensive and fine silks, and the gold-encrusted windows were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe, making it impossible for anyone outside the carriage to look into it;
Wang Yun enjoys this feeling very much, and the pleasure that this right brings to him can't even give him sleeping with a beautiful woman; Wang Yun is a thoroughly opportunistic politician, he will not give up any opportunity to take office, not to mention that he still has so many good cards in his hand at this time;
Soon the luxurious carriage drove to the Wenhou Mansion, this time Wang Yun did not let the servants go to the messenger first, but got off the car very neatly, and walked quickly to the door, obviously the family in front of the Wenhou Mansion also knew Wang Situ, and did not stop it, but bowed his waist and guided Wang Yun to the inner hall where Lu Bu was;
【Wenhou Mansion - Inner Hall】
Lu Bu heard footsteps in the inner hall, followed the voice, and saw Wang Yun in the distance walking towards him, Lu Bu hurriedly got up and greeted him, the future father-in-law;
"I don't know if Lord Situ is coming, it's rude, rude, rude," Lu Bu said politely;
"Why should Wen Hou be so polite, a few days ago, Wen Hou and Lao Yu said that the family matter, Lao Yu felt that it was better to be sooner rather than later, so he specially came to Wen Hou's mansion to discuss with Wen Hou" Wang Yun said with a smile, and did not go straight to the topic, but first threw it to Lu Bu what he had always wanted;
"Haha, great, then shouldn't Feng Xian call Lord Situ his father-in-law?" Lu Bu knelt down on one knee as he spoke, put his left palm on his right fist and said:
"Lord Yuezhang is above, take a bow first" Lu Bu didn't really bow, just made a look, of course, Wang Yun over there was also very cooperative, and immediately helped Lu Bu up without letting Lu Bu go down, and said:
"Okay, good, in the future, I will have a glorious lintel like Fengxian, and I will be content with the old decay"
"Haha, don't worry, father-in-law, there will be Feng Xian in the future, who dares to be disrespectful to his father-in-law, Feng Xian will be the first to ask for his life" Lu Bu said, and made a gesture of clenching his fists viciously;
"With Feng Xian here, how dare ordinary fanatics embarrass the old age, but have Feng Xian heard any news recently?" Wang Yun felt that the time was almost up, so he took the initiative to arouse the topic;
"Uncle Yue, but is it said that the news of my father-in-law's defeat is now spreading in the market?"
"Exactly, what does Feng Xian think?"
"My father-in-law's 300,000 elites went out to fight a small Luoyang, even if something happened and he was defeated halfway, he could lead the army to withdraw to Tongguan" Lu Bu analyzed it from a military point of view, in fact, there was nothing wrong with Lu Bu's analysis
Wang Yun said: "Fengxian, the old man doesn't see it that way."
"Oh? Does Master Yue-in-law think there are other possibilities? ”
"Fengxian, I ordered someone to arrest a deserter who fled back to Chang'an today, and after interrogation, I learned that this soldier was a soldier of Dong Zhuo's grain and grass battalion, and he was going to take his family out of the city immediately after escaping back to Chang'an this time, what does this mean?"
Lu Bu thought for a while and asked, "It means that my father-in-law's grain and grass camp has been lost?" "Lu Bu did not mainly go to Wang Yun at this time and did not call Dong Zhuo a prince, but directly called Dong Zhuo;
"Yes, according to the deserter's confession, Dong Zhuo's grain and grass were indeed burned, but if Dong Zhuo could retreat with the army according to what Feng Xian said before, how could there be many soldiers who fled back to Chang'an and quickly fled from Chang'an with their families?"
"Lord Yue, is saying that the father-in-law and his old man not only lost, but also lost very badly, and the other party is likely to fight all the way to Chang'an?"
Under Wang Yun's inducement for a while, Lu Bu finally said the result that Wang Yun wanted to hear;
"Exactly"
"That's impossible, my father-in-law dispatched 300,000 troops, and most of them are battle-hardened Xiliang elites, and these Xiliang elites are not at all worse than the Bingzhou elites I brought."
"Since ancient times, on the battlefield, the situation has changed, how can there be anything certain? Didn't Xiang Yu defeat Qin's 400,000 army with just a few tens of thousands of troops in the past? ”
"How can this be compared, how can there be a peerless person like the Overlord of Chu in Luoyang?"
"How did Feng Xian know that there must be none? I heard that the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who used to be in the Tiger Prison Pass, are now on the Hangu Pass, and these three people are not mediocre."
Lu Bu fell into deep thought, he knew how powerful these three people were, especially Guan Yu with a red face, and Zhang Fei with a leopard head and eyes are not idle and can do anything about it, in the world, there is no more than one palm that can compete with him, but now two of them are in Hangu Pass, Lu Bu's way of thinking is still this kind of martial arts thinking.
"Then according to Lord Yue, what should we do now?"
"The master of Luoyang is the elder brother of today's son, King Hongnong, and his purpose is not to overthrow the Han Dynasty, but to exterminate Dong Zhuo," Wang Yun said
"Ah, how dare you, father-in-law?" Lu Bu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said
"Fengxian, don't hide it from the virtuous son-in-law, do you know why the virtuous son-in-law delayed your marriage with Cicada before the old decay?"
"Why is that?"
"Hey, it's hard to put into words, since the first meeting between the virtuous son-in-law and the little daughter-in-law, the little daughter-in-law has only had a virtuous son-in-law, but not long after, the master heard that the little girl was beautiful;
Sent someone to inform the old man to send the little girl to the Taishi's mansion a few days later, and it happened that it was just in time for the Taishi to go out in person, and the little girl Diao Chan did not go for a long time, and the old man did not dare to agree to the virtuous son-in-law's relatives, but he did not dare to offend the virtuous son-in-law, so he had to drag it down. ”
"This is true," Lu Bu said viciously
"If there is a lie, the old man will die by the sword"
"Dong Zhuo, an old thief, dared to bully me like this, and I was really blind to me for guarding Chang'an City for him."
"Don't worry, virtuous son-in-law, this is a God-given opportunity" Wang Yun took out the edict to dedicate the emperor and handed it to Lu Bu to watch
Lü Bu immediately knelt down and took the edict, which named Lü Bu as a hussar general, commanding all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and exterminating Dong Zhuo's party;
"Ah, this is the will of the Son of Heaven??" Lu Bu said
"Exactly, congratulations to the virtuous son-in-law for being promoted to the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, as long as the virtuous son-in-law launches a coup d'état this time, he will quickly order someone to guard Tongguan and prevent Dong Zhuo's defeated army from escaping back, which can not only ensure the safety of Chang'an City up to the Son of Heaven and down to the people of Li."
"But if Luoyang's army comes over, what will we do?"
"It doesn't matter, I believe that King Hongnong's purpose is also to get rid of Dong Zhuo, a traitor, and King Hongnong is also the bloodline of the Liu family, how can he subvert the Han Dynasty? At that time, we can send someone to negotiate, add the title of King Hongnong, and give him some benefits."
"Okay, the son-in-law will lead the troops to Tongguan in person now, and let him have a million male soldiers and never think of crossing Tongguan one step" Lu Bu finally firmed up his thoughts, and said proudly, even Wang Yun next to him did not doubt Lu Bu's ability at all, knowing that this guy had a poor character, but there were really few opponents in the world when it came to fighting (on the premise of no conspiracy)
(PS: Thank you for voting for the Mint's recommendation votes, and today I will give you a small story "Decimal Point, Big Idea")
"Oh my God, what's this behemoth?" "Just kidding, it's not something I ordered at all!" A man named Tom in the United Kingdom, because he was born with different feet, it is difficult to buy suitable and comfortable shoes.
A few days ago, Tom saw on the Internet that a shoe factory called Mornay was willing to offer an order service, so he clicked the mouse and ordered a pair of fluffy animal claw slippers with a size 13 on his right foot and a size 14.5 on his left foot for £15.5.
Five days later, Tom received a call that the ordered shoes had arrived, and he hurried downstairs, only to be stunned by the shoes delivered by the courier company: it was actually 2.1 meters long, 1.3 meters wide, and 0.65 meters high, almost the size of a single bed! Tom tried it, and the whole person could lie down in the shoe!
"I just want a pair of shoes to wear!" Faced with the behemoth falling from the sky, Tom couldn't help but laugh and simply put a photo of the shoe on the Internet, claiming to be the person with the biggest slipper in the world. Many people found it very hilarious, and the photo began to circulate online.
Finally, the manager of the Mornay shoe factory came out and explained that because of the carelessness of the staff, the translation error was caused, resulting in missing the decimal point and mistakenly making the 14.5 shoe into 145, and the workers did not question it when they received the order, thinking that the customer needed such a "Big Mac" as a window display.
Next, the manager of the company apologized to Tom and promised to order another pair of slippers for Tom for free, and Tom, who received the oversized slippers, said that he would put the "Big Mac Claw" on the website for sale.
With the spread of this funny incident, the originally unknown Mornay shoe factory suddenly became a household name. It turned out that this so-called decimal point error incident was completely orchestrated by the shoe factory. Since I didn't have a reputation for starting a business and didn't want to spend a huge amount of advertising money, I came up with this brilliant idea.
Today, Tom has become the brand ambassador of the Mornay shoe factory, and orders from all over the country are flying like snowflakes, an inconspicuous decimal point, and in this way, a company has become a miracle of selling more than 1,000 pairs of shoes a day. Creativity is sometimes so important. )
