Chapter 83: The Return of the King (I)
(Once again, I would like to thank the book friends for subscribing to the children's shoes of "Tomorrow's Rain Queen", as well as the full score evaluation, thank you~)
Yuan Tan's army had already entered Henan County recently, and crossed Mengjin and Ping counties in a very short period of time at a very fast speed, and then approached Luoyang.
This is an advantage of Yuan Tan, once he makes up his mind, he will no longer waver, and he is very decisive, which is also a point that Xun Chen appreciates very much, after all, the master of a party should have such extraordinary decisiveness.
However, if there was no Xun Chen, if there was no 100% trust in Xun Chen and belief in his plan, it would be difficult for Yuan Tan to make such a decision.
And at this moment, when he arrived at this place, the problem in front of Yuan Tan was how to enter Luoyang City in a grand manner, not only not to be rejected by Pang De and Xu Rong, but also to be able to clear the relationship with them in front of outsiders, after all, now Pang De and Xu Rong, who actually didn't do anything at all, and their respective people's reputation inside and outside Luoyang is already completely stinky.
Pang De is just a military general in the end, thinking of a self-righteous idea, coupled with the lawless Ma Chao behind his back, he will not think about the consequences at all, he only cares about what he can do in front of him, even if he can't succeed in achieving his goal, it doesn't matter, it is necessary to try.
But Xun Chen will not be as reckless as him, although the name of both sides is "Respect the King", but Pang De and they have actually trampled on this banner, now it is a big joke, Xun Chen naturally can't let Yuan Tan go down their old path, otherwise even the plan here will eventually succeed against Lu Bu's overall situation. Yuan Tan's reputation will also be ruined, which will affect the subsequent development; Of course, if it fails, then don't worry so much, after all, you can't enjoy the benefits.
However, Xun Chen has already thought about this for Yuan Tan, but although Yuan Tan has made up his mind, he will not turn back and cannot turn back, but he is a realistic person, and if things do not reach the last step, they will not be considered to be finally successful, so it is normal to be worried.
Xun Chen can only persuade him more, the current Yuan Tan is still young after all, and his experience is too shallow. Plus this time is too dependent on him at times. It's almost everything, and now even all the original opinions of himself are almost gone, which is certainly not a good phenomenon, and it is not what Xun Chen wants to see. It's just that you can only change slowly. And for the time being, listening to himself is only good for him, and there is no harm in him.
However, Xun Chen's persuasion, Yuan Tan could listen to it. But it can only temporarily alleviate that anxiety, Xun Chen knows this very well, and there is no good way. We can only wait for the test of time together.
Speaking of which, now on Yuan Tan's side, after Xun Chen's deterrence and beating before, Xun Chen is finally able to achieve basic control over Yuan Tan's subordinates, although there is still a long way to go to convince them, at least for the time being, Xun Chen only needs them to be able but have their lives.
Of course, they will be like this, except for Yuan Tan's support for Xun Chen, so that they have no choice but to give in, and it is also because everyone is a little at a loss until now, after all, Xun Tan's plan except for Yuan Tan actually did not tell sù, and also told Yuan Tan not to leak it out beforehand, Yuan Tan naturally agreed, which also led to zhì Although there was no mistake in the rapid march during this period of time, it was purely an order, even Jiang Qi and other henchmen and generals were actually kept in the dark.
However, according to Xun Chen's thoughts, when he arrived at this place, it was almost time to say everything clearly, so after the simple temporary camp was built, Xun Chen asked Yuan Tan to summon all the generals under his command and other henchmen in the army, and prepared to give them a face-to-face lecture.
As for what choice they will make when they understand it, Xun Chen is not worried, after all, it has come to this point, everyone is equivalent to sitting in the same boat, and no one wants to quit temporarily or drag it back; What's more, Xun Chen also drew a rather beautiful blueprint for them, provided that the plan was successful, although that possibility was not too great.
Just as Xun Chen originally envisioned, when he and Yuan Tan made it clear to everyone, except for a few henchmen who almost never thought and only obeyed Yuan Tan, most of the generals who had their own ideas such as Jiang Qi had to think about it, especially Jiang Qi, who was indeed excited about the prospects depicted by Xun Chen, but his mind was not dizzy, knowing that it was not easy to achieve, but he also knew that Xun Chen was not wrong if he was half a threat, he had come to this point, even if he wanted to quit, it was difficult. It's better to just give it a go.
So later, with the help of Jiang Qi, who went crazy in the situation, Xun Chen and the others finally settled everyone's hearts, and Xun Chen could rest assured that he could start to confess his inner plan to them......
Yewang County, Hanoi County, the place where the Great Han Dynasty Dian Nong Zhonglang will govern.
Lu Bu led an army of 120,000 to march here, and finally stopped his slow pursuit, and set up camp in place to rest.
Of course, resting here is not because the army is tired of marching, although there is still a turnaround in the middle of the march without much rest, these soldiers under Lu Bu are indeed a little tired, and their spirit has been affected, but the impact is not very great, and the main reason is naturally that Lu Bu received a letter from Jia Xu.
Speaking of the strategists under his command, from Jia Xu, Chen Gong, and Liangle, the three strategists who followed him in Bingzhou at the earliest, to Feng Ji, who was captured, Tian Chou, who took refuge, Jian Yong, who met by fate, and Xun Yu, Xun You's uncle and nephew who were finally moved, with the current Lu Bu, the most trusted and entrusted by him is undoubtedly Jia Xu.
Although in history, this guy has always been Mingzhe to protect his true colors, but perhaps because of this, he now seems to have more obvious "changes" in Lu Bu, of course, this change is only known to Lu Bu alone, and his trust is actually mostly based on this, after all, such an obvious difference can never be done deliberately, Jia Xu must not disdain to do so, the only explanation is his loyalty to Lu Bu.
On the surface, Jia Xu is a very humble and sleek person, not as upright as Xun Yu. It's not as strong as Xun You, and naturally he is more sophisticated than Liangle and others, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a humanoid fox, but in his bones, Jia Xu is also a very proud person, you must know that in history, even Cao Cao failed to convince him sincerely, although he has lived for half a lifetime The resume, experience, insight and vision are quite rich, and the "poisoner" who was still young when he first saw Lu Bu was not the same.
This can be regarded as a good time for Lu Bu to catch up, or a reflection of his personal charm, right? Sometimes when he thinks of this, he can't help but secretly think so in his heart.
All in all. In a nutshell. Jia Xu is very clear about his heart Lu Bu, and he usually doesn't show it very much, just like this time, although Jia Xu only briefly mentioned his risky plan for this trip in this letter. and the purpose for which it was made. Lu Bu recognized it in an instant. Yiqiē is based on trust.
Of course, if you really want to talk about it, Lu Bu is not a saint after all, and he can't be so pure in many things. So there is another reason why he was able to insist on this trust, but at the same time, he also received a letter from Zhang Liao.
If Jia Xu is the most trusted by his strategists, then among the generals, Gao Shun, Cao He and Zhang Liao are the three most trusted by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu will not feel that the two of them have teamed up to deceive him.
However, unlike Jia Xu's letter, which is just a matter of facts and official affairs, Zhang Liao's letter is written in great detail, from this matter is Jia Xu and he discussed and decided together, to Jia Xu's assumption that the consequences of failure are completely borne by himself, it looks like he is specially here to explain Jia Xu's guilt, and in fact, at the end of the letter, Zhang Liao is also very frank and provocative that his letter is specially to explain to Jia Xu, thinking that Jia Xu is single-minded, even if he makes his own opinion, unexpected consequences may occur later, also hoped that Lu Bu would not blame him too much, and even said in the end that if he really wanted to be punished, he would simply punish him with such words.
If it is a suspicious person like Cao Cao, even if the person who writes this letter is the person he trusts the most, he will still have a pimple in his heart if he doesn't care about it, especially this kind of thing that completely puts himself into it, it is really difficult not to be affected by being the lord and the king, thinking that the two may be colluding, but Lu Bu really didn't take it to heart, after all, he has always believed that suspicious people are not needed, and people are not suspicious, although there is still a gap between them and really doing this, but Zhang Liao and Jia Xu and others are in the ranks of his "believers", Ben is not a suspicion, and now it can still serve as a proof of each other.
Lu Bu was also sure that Zhang Liao was making his own assertions, otherwise Jia Xu knew that he would definitely stop it, and the news from Diao Chan's women's group also proved this.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that in view of the fact that as a history lover and some well-informed, Lu Bu can also "use history as a mirror", and he also maintains his own vigilance against the development of such similar dark forces, on the one hand, they are always in an underground state and reduce their influence; On the other hand, there are two different dark forces that check and balance each other, for example, the spy group in charge of Jia Xu is secretly supervised by the women's group, and in turn, the spy group also has the task of monitoring the women's group, which is called mutual supervision.
In particular, Diao Chan, the lord of the women's world, is considered a "relative", and Jia Xu of the spy group is a "heavy minister", the two have also formed a mutual check and balance, Lu Bu will not listen to biased beliefs, but look at evidence and facts, although there is no guarantee that it will continue to be effective, anyway, it will still have a good effect for the time being.
And then, after arranging the army temporarily, Lu Bu only took a few people to ride Jian Cong to find the hiding place of Na Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and the army.
After withdrawing from Luoyang, they did not actually go far, but in Ha Duong County, which is not far from the north of Luoyang and is also in Hanoi County.
It stands to reason that so many people and horses, no matter how much they cover up and how low-key they are, they are stationed so close to Luoyang, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered, but in fact, they are not discovered, except for the northern part of Luoyang, there is a mountain barrier, which is easy to cover up, and Xu Rong, who is familiar with the terrain, does not have the intention of searching, just because Pang De does not understand the nearby environment at all, there is no way to find people, and the main thing is that I am afraid that I still grasp a blind spot of people's inertial thinking, and secretly agreed" The most dangerous place is often the safest", so that the other party could not imagine for a while that they were actually under their noses, and they stayed so peacefully for so many days.
Originally, with the identity relationship between Jia Xu and Lu Bu, it should have been him who took the initiative to visit Lu Bu, but in view of the special situation at this time, coupled with the urgency of time, there is no need to care about these false courtesies, anyway, the distance between Yewang and Heyang is also very close, and Lu Bu's group of people has already rushed to the place in just one hour, and then stepped forward to let people report.
Jia Xu obviously didn't expect Lu Bu to come so quickly, and it seemed that he was also ready to let people go to see Lu Budi, this person was naturally Chen Li, who was counted as half of Jia Xu's disciple, but now that Lu Bu himself came over first, it was naturally not needed.
