Chapter 60: A Conspiracy

At this time in Chang'an, Xijing, Dong Zhuo had a good time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since he plundered the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers and the people of the whole city to Chang'an, his power has become more stable and stronger, the reason, because Chang'an is closer to Xiliang, although Chang'an City is from Sili, but its north is Liangzhou, which is much closer to Liangzhou than Luoyang, and Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's birthplace, his power is deep-rooted in Liangzhou, although there is now a Ma Teng and Han Sui, but what about these two people Dong Zhuo's opponent.

However, with the lesson of the last time the princes met with Dong, Dong Zhuo did not dare to take it lightly, he followed Li Ru's strategy, and re-rewarded the fiefs of the princes of the world, so that the area of the princes' fiefs was much larger, and the official positions were also a lot larger, but these were indeed rewarded by the court of Chang'an, if they sent troops to fight against Dong again, not to mention whether they could get together the people, even if they got together the people, the hearts of the people were estimated to be even more uneven than when the sour jujube alliance, think about it, for example, a county guard before, The territory in his hand is just one acre and three points of land, but Dong Zhuo suddenly sealed him a thorn history and even a state pastor, so can he not be tempted? But if he participates in the discussion of Dong Zhuo and removes Dong Zhuo from power, how should the previous reward be calculated?

In this way, after the Kwantung princes met with the alliance, no one proposed to join forces to fight against Dong, but they fought to the death for the territory that Dong Zhuo drew for them.

"Wen You, tell me, what kind of official should I give this Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao once assassinated Dong Zhuo, although he didn't succeed in the end, and he also lost Wang Yun's seven-star knife, but this incident made Dong Zhuo very annoyed, think about it, no one will want your life What kind of good feelings do people have.

Li Ru thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, if you have a grudge against this Cao Cao and want to put him to death as soon as possible, I think you can remove him from the position of Yanzhou Assassin and then seal him the post of Jizhou Governor." ”

Dong Zhuo was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Li Ruyin said with a smile: "Prime Minister, think about it, whose territory is this Jizhou?" ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly realized, stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, Yuan Shao is the Bohai Taishou!" ”

Li Ru took over the conversation and said: "Yuan Shao relies on his father's Mengyin, his strength is strong, and his ambition is naturally not small, I listened to the detailed report, saying that Yuan Shao recruited troops and horses in the Bohai Sea, and the army has expanded to more than 80,000 people, presumably he will definitely not settle for a small Bohai County, his next target is very likely to be the entire territory of Jizhou, and we reward Cao Cao as the assassin of Jizhou, he must go north to take office, otherwise it will be to disobey the orders of the imperial court, so that we can order the princes of the world to send troops to crusade against him with the order of disrespecting the imperial court, The good thing is that if anyone defeats Cao Cao, then his territory will belong to him, and I believe that many people will be interested. ”

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly: "Cao Apu deserves this fate, everyone in the world will be punished!" Good, good, great! ”

Li Ru also smiled with a smile, and after laughing, he continued: "Cao Cao is very smart, he won't not understand the key to this, but he is powerless to resist, so he can only go to Jizhou to take office, and Jizhou Mu Han Fu and Yuan Shao have a very good relationship, Cao Cao's wolf ambition will not be subordinate, and he will definitely have a dispute with Han Fu, and Han Fu is bound to ask Yuan Shao for help, when the time comes, we will add more fire to make this scene more exciting, then there will be a good show!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and muttered: "Then why don't you directly make Yuan Shao the governor of Jizhou, wouldn't it be more direct in this way?" ”

Li Ru shook his head, "Prime Minister don't be anxious, Yuan Shao has a lot of capable people, if we do it too obviously, maybe even if Yuan Shao wants Jizhou very much, he won't take the initiative to jump into this fire pit, what I'm most worried about is that Yuan Shao will connect with Cao Cao, then it's bad." ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuo didn't seem to understand very well, Li Ru further explained: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have had a friendship since childhood, and Yuan Shao's first strategist Xu You has a very good relationship with the two, and now Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, his next target is likely to be Qingzhou and Xuzhou, we will push him to Jizhou, which has obvious traces of manificiality, and Yuan Shao regards Jizhou as his own bag, his next target is Youzhou in the north, and Youzhou has Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao supports Liu Yu." ”

After a pause, Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, and saw that his expression did not change, so he continued: "That Liu Yu is the son of Emperor Guangwu, the son of Emperor Guangwu, after Liu Qiang, the king of Donghai Gong, Confucianism got the exact news, then Yuan Shao intends to make Liu Yu an enemy and fight against the Chang'an court!" ”

"What? He Yuan Shao wants to rebel or not? ”

As soon as Dong Zhuo heard the news, he immediately bounced up from the top of the seat, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked extremely annoyed.

Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo's seat, there was no special seat during the Han Dynasty, and most people were kneeling on the ground, with a mat or blanket underneath, and there was an idiom allusion in this era, called cutting the mat and breaking off relations, which is the story of Guan Ning and Hua Xin, the two of them read together and sat on a mat, of course, they knelt and sat down, Guan Ning ******** put it on reading, but Hua Xin was always disturbed by things from the outside world, and when he was farming, he dug up a piece of gold, Guan Ning didn't look at it, and threw it away, but Hua Xin picked it up and was reluctant to throw it away after looking at it for a long time.

Later, someone sat in a sedan chair and passed in front of their house lively, Guan Ning ignored it as if he hadn't heard it, while Hua Xin put down the book and ran out to watch the excitement curiously, and when he came back, Guan Ning said to him: The ambitions and tastes of the two of us are too different. From now on, we will be like this cut straw mat, and we will no longer be friends.

Guan Ning has learned people, is the descendant of Guan Zhong, he was called "a dragon" by the people at that time, but he was unwilling to be an official, he looked down on fame and fortune, and as a result, in order to avoid the war, he ran to Liaodong, and Hua Xin was raised filial piety to become a member of the Han Dynasty magistrate, was appointed as Yuzhang Taishou, and later Yuzhang was annexed by Sun Ce, he ran to Cao Cao's command as a strategist, and also participated in the Battle of Chibi, became Cao Wei's minister, Hua Xin later has been very honest, not greedy for money and not greedy, and the local governance is also very good, So he has a good reputation, and when he reached his old age, he recommended Guan Ning to the imperial court many times, but whether it was Cao Pi or Cao Rui, he couldn't come back when he sent someone to invite Guan Ning.
