Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tribulation of the Sun Continued
This person who sighed secretly was naturally Zhang Liao.
Before, Jia Xu told him that he was evacuating Luoyang and taking retreat as a strategy, although he felt that it was risky, but he also thought it was worth a try, but now it seems that he thought it was too simple at the beginning.
This simplicity is not because of the difficulty of the implementation of this plan, or the progress is so smooth, but I didn't think of the consequences of doing this, at least I didn't figure it all out, so when I stepped out and then as a bystander, I secretly paid attention to what Pang De and Xu Rong did after leading the army into Luoyang, and realized many problems that he hadn't thought of before. has always had the lofty ideal of taking the world as his own responsibility, and when he saw these scenes that he did not want to see, but now he has no way to stop it, he naturally can't help but sigh.
Or there is also a trace of regret in it, regretting that he should have thought of these things in the first place, because in fact, it is not difficult to think of, after all, whether it is for Ma Chao or Li Ru, attacking Luoyang does not mean anything.
Since Dong Zhuo's death, Li Ru has long lost the heart to compete for the world, even if he is allowed to enter the "treasure land" of Luoyang, it is meaningless; And the fundamental reason why Ma Chao sent troops against Lu Bu this time was revenge rather than hegemony, under such a purpose, he might prefer to have a face-to-face battlefield battle with Lu Bu, rather than like now, the opponent's army fled and left a city that was of little use to him.
It's not here, so after the attack. For this city that is almost at his fingertips, Ma Chao naturally can't say that he has anything to cherish, and at least for him now, whether it is this capital, or the palace and the emperor in it, it has little value, and it is far more important than not revenge.
In this case, Ma Chao simply vented all his nameless anger on the people and even those nobles in Luoyang, and compared to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu before, this little prince who had just entered the main Luoyang had no scruples at all. It's just up to your own temperament.
Although it is not Ma Chao himself who has come here now. The main general is also Ma Chao's general Pang De, a man who has a rough personality but is not very murderous, but he actually represents Ma Chao, so conniving at what his subordinates do can be regarded as having Ma Chao's permission. And their attitude towards the subjects of Luoyang, especially those ordinary innocent people. It is also the most helpless place in Zhang Liao's heart.
The reason for his sigh and regret is also there. If I had thought of this earlier, I might have been able to dissuade the military advisor?
But the thought only swirled in his mind for a moment, and then it was forgotten. Although emotionally I hope so, intellectually speaking, Zhang Liao himself has to admit in his heart that in the final analysis, this matter still has to be counted on the head of the military advisor Jia Xu, but if he wants to blame him, he can't say it.
Lu Bu once called Jia Xu a "poisoner", and Zhang Liao never thought that the other party was a poison method, but now he finally really saw it.
This is not only a poisoner, it can be called a "poisonous country", daring to gamble with the lives and deaths of everyone in a city, this courage Zhang Liao will never learn, let alone the "toxicity" implied in it.
However, Zhang Liao is not a person who does not know how to change, although he is a little reluctant to agree with this method, but if he had known it before, he would have stopped it, but now it seems to be a little too late, not to mention that in this case, if he rashly goes in and falls short, he will not be able to explain to Jia Xu and Lu Bu, so he will not act at all.
In his heart, he was secretly sighing, he hadn't thought of these things before, but I'm afraid Jia Xu wouldn't have thought of it, so speaking of which, Jia Xu could be regarded as putting himself together this time, fortunately, he was not for selfishness, and he sacrificed a lot for this matter, even if Zhang Liao wanted to blame, there was no way to talk about it.
The only thing that made Zhang Liao more relieved was that what he knew and saw was done by Ma Chao's subordinates, and he didn't know if Li Ru or that Xu Rong restrained his subordinates too well, or he didn't know yet, or that many of them had a long time in Luoyang and always had some local complexes, so they couldn't do it.
In short, this is good news, after all, according to Jia Xu's order before, the people on Li Ru's side try to surrender as much as possible, and this naturally has to have a premise, that is, they have not formed an indissoluble mortal enmity with each other, or they will not let Lu Bu bear any external pressure after receiving each other, in this catastrophe for Luoyang, it is naturally best for them not to take the initiative to participate in it, as long as this is the case, Lu Bu will have an explanation to the outside world.
And Zhang Liao and Jia Xu also had a good explanation for Lu Bu at that time, so this also relieved Zhang Liao's yin mood a lot, and the subordinates next to him saw that the winner's face turned from cloudy to clear, so they all slowly calmed down their worries and prepared to come forward to report.
"Anything important?" Zhang Liao's mood was just better, but he was still not happy, and when he saw someone approaching, he asked so casually.
A voice that came out of nowhere immediately replied, "The one who wants your life......
Before the words fell, Zhang Liao was just startled in his heart, and as soon as he swept away, he was stabbed by a knife and the cold light stabbed his eyes.
At this moment, he was also a little panicked in his heart, but although he was not panicked, he made the best preparations he could in the shortest possible time, and took the initiative to attack, stabbing in the direction of the sound he had just heard, and at the same time guarding the surroundings, who knows how many people there are on the other side?
……
At this time, the abbot of the country was finished, and he was sighing at home.
Even he didn't expect that the other party would be able to come in so smoothly, and he had been at home all this time, but it was not really like some people thought that he was ashamed, but he was thinking about his own gains and losses.
Although Pang De and his entourage have been in Luoyang for a few days, because of the automatic withdrawal of Jia Xu and others, they have basically not encountered any threatening obstacles, so they have driven straight in, and perhaps deliberately, venting their anger or something, came along the road from the West City Gate. A large number of dwellings were burned, and all the ordinary people who resisted and disobeyed were killed, and women were naturally humiliated, and the nobles with surplus wealth certainly couldn't escape a looting.
However, as far as Fu Wan is concerned, he doesn't care about how Luoyang is and how his subjects are, even if they are all killed, looted and burned, as long as the fire is not burned on himself, it doesn't matter; But once it comes to his own vital interests, he has no way to remain indifferent.
You must know that your brother still settles accounts. Even though it was his own old man who came that night. But it also made it clear that only when they really play a role, the cooperation and agreement between them can be regarded as effective, and there is no doubt about it. From this point of view. In fact, in the process of the other party's entry into Luoyang. If he is a little ashamed, he won't feel that this has much to do with him, so he will be embarrassed to say that he has a cooperative relationship with the other party. Naturally, there is no way to talk about the benefits after that.
But having said that, Fu Wan did pay a lot of price for this, especially his reputation was hit extremely hard because of helping Ma Chao and others this time, which should always be made up, otherwise Fu Wan himself was really unwilling.
It's just that he doesn't have the courage to compete with the other party, let alone deal with the other party anymore, so he can't afford to provoke him, so he can only hide.
Regarding the betrayal of Lu Bu in the eyes of the outside world, it is not that he doesn't want to explain, but he also knows very well that it would be easy to say it before, but now how to explain it to the outside world always has a feeling that he is quibbling, not to mention that he really did not inform Liu Xie, Dong Cheng and others in advance of this matter, and he still doesn't know how to explain it to them.
Now when I think of this, I don't feel a little headache after Fu Wan, and I blame myself for not being greedy enough, although it is true that I was moved by the other party and considered the Son of Heaven, but it is undeniable that selfishness also occupies most of it, otherwise how could such an important matter not be discussed with Dong Cheng and them before, and they made their own decisions, and it doesn't matter, the sudden withdrawal of Jia Xu and others, as well as the actions of Ma Chao's subordinates after entering Luoyang City, are all things that are beyond Fu Wan's expectations and control.
The plan is always not as fast as the change, no matter how good I thought at the beginning, but things have progressed to this point, and I have to reluctantly admit that I really think too well, and the reality naturally gives me a heavy blow.
"Whew!" Exhaled a breath of turbidity, looking up at the sky after staying at home for a few days and about to get sick, I only felt that the wind and rain were about to come, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Fu Wan knew that although he was closed for a few days, he could be regarded as having endured the most difficult period at the beginning, but he could not go on like this forever, at least he had to meet with these ministers on Liu Xie's side, especially Dong Cheng, so he had to be honest with the other party about some things at this time.
Of course, it is this point that makes Fu Wan very distressed, and it has always been said that the three major masters are headed by him, not only because his daughter Fu Shougui is a country, but also because Liu Xie relies on him the most, but after Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Guiren became pregnant, the mother relied on his son and grandson, Dong Cheng gradually had the capital to overwhelm Fu Wan, and now Fu Wan was clever enough to lift a stone and make such a scene, whether it was from his own interests or from face, he couldn't accept the meeting with the other party, Because you may be pressed down invisibly,
Although according to Fu Wan's understanding of Dong Cheng, the other party may not care about these - at least from this point of view, Fu Wan is really not as good as Dong Cheng, who is much more selfless and even much more capable.
It was at this time that the door of the deep courtyard in the Fuzhong where Fu Wan was located was violently pushed open from the outside by a huge force.
Fu Wan couldn't help frowning, although the door of this courtyard was only piggybacked, as long as it was someone from his own house, it was unlikely that he would rush in so rashly without his consent; However, in a few corners of the courtyard, there are also forces that are not good for guarding, as long as the other party has the slightest unfavorable behavior later, Fu Wan does not mind teaching him how to be a person again, so at this time he is a little fearless, and he does not show the slightest panicked look, just calmly turns around and faces the gate, looking at the comer.
Just saw the other party's face clearly, but he couldn't help but be stunned, although it was indeed not the person he was in the house now, but it was his dearest person, it was his eldest son who was more than 20 years old.
After all, he is already an adult, so Fude has long been out of the house on his own, but he will come back to visit from time to time, but this situation has not appeared today.
"How old a person is, how can he still be so frizzy and unorthodox!" In the face of his son, Fu Wan naturally reprimanded mercilessly, although he realized a trace of unusualness from the other party's expression and behavior.
How do you know that Fu De didn't pay attention to his reprimand at all, but shouted anxiously: "Oh no, father, the Xiliang thieves have gathered on Jinmen Street, and they are about to enter the North Palace, it looks like they are going to attack the palace!" ”
Fu Wan couldn't help but be angry when he heard it, before the other party was just attacking some other street people, nobles and even courtiers, given that the other party was powerful and could tolerate it, but it was unbearable, the palace was definitely the last bottom line, and Fu Wan also followed closely and thought that this might be his last chance, it seemed that he had to leave the house immediately.
