vs 59 The Great Thing Accomplished [1]
Thousands of Flying Bear Army broke directly into the avenue at the gate of the city, forcing those court ministers to automatically get out of the way and flash aside. It wasn't until Taifu Yuan Kui appeared in front of him that Dong Zhuo turned over and fell off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and greeted him with a military salute:
"Dong Zhuo, see Taifu!"
"No need to be polite. You have a lot of soldiers and horses, but you have to restrain them, and you are not allowed to spread wild in Beijing. I have asked people to prepare a camping place, and when you have finished escorting the Son of Heaven into the palace, you will go to Xianyang Garden to live, so as to quell the rebellion of the small Yangxiao. ”
"The last general understands!"
In front of the rest of the three princes and nine kings, Dong Zhuo, who seemed unruly, was as docile as a sheep in front of Taifu Yuan Kui at this moment. Although the rest of the ministers are dissatisfied with this phenomenon, they are helpless.
Who is Dong Zhuo's identity, or Yuan Kui's former official?
To say that the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family can be traced back to decades ago, when Dong Zhuo had not yet made a career. At that time, although Dong Zhuo relied on his bravery and prestige among the Qiang people, he was recruited as a assassin by the Liangzhou Assassin History Achievement [personal name, surname is famous], but he was still only one of the hundreds of low-level officers in the Han Army, and the day of his emergence was far away.
However, at this time, due to a great victory that occurred on the border, Dong Zhuo was recommended to serve in the imperial court by Duan Cheng, who was then the assassin of the state. It happened that Yuan Kui, who was Situ at the time, needed a Peng official who knew how to war, so he chose Dong Zhuo.
Since then, Dong Zhuo's body has been labeled as a former official of the Yuan family, and in his subsequent officialdom career, he can be regarded as finding an organization, and he was able to climb up step by step with his own merits, and finally became a decisive general in the imperial court.
In fact, as a vulgar warrior in the eyes of the scholars, Dong Zhuo was not too favored by the Runan Yuan clan. But. Without Yuan Kui's protection, no matter how great Dong Zhuo's merits are, he may be embezzled by other noble sons and daughters. From this point alone, Yuan's kindness to Dong Zhuo is definitely not small.
Especially since the large-scale rebellion broke out again in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo, as the general of the defeated army when quelling the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", was actually able to be reactivated. There is Yuan's secret operation in this. It was also after this resumption that the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family became closer and closer. In terms of status, Dong Zhuo can be regarded as a peripheral member of the Yuan family to a relatively internal backbone.
Of course, at the current level, Dong Zhuo can't be the core personnel of the Yuan family. It's just that, in terms of the current situation, Taifu Yuan Kui's future for Dong Zhuo. There are still a lot of things that need to be driven, so naturally we have to find a way to entrap him more.
As for the other three princes and nine kings, why is their attitude towards Dong Zhuo not friendly?
The reason is simple.
Although the Runan Yuan clan is the leading family and a high-ranking family in the imperial court, it is not without competitors. These courtiers, who had a certain rivalry with the Yuan clan, were actually close to the Yuan clan on many issues. However, they were not Yuan's echoes after all, and if there was a conflict of interest, these courtiers didn't mind saying goodbye to Yuan.
Now. With the death of the general He Jin, the general He Miao was killed by the general's Qu Wu Kuang. The eunuchs in the palace were almost wiped out, and there was a huge power gap in the power system in Luoyang City.
In the current situation, the Runan Yuan clan itself has a huge advantage because of the military power in the hands of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If another Yuan official, Dong Zhuo, is brought in, the Yuan family's military power will be advantageous. It became overwhelming. Although the courtiers didn't think that Taifu Yuan Kui would really use the military power at hand to do something, those soldiers were just put aside, which was enough to make others secretly fear themselves in their hearts.
As for Dong Zhuo, many courtiers have only heard of it. I haven't seen it. After Dong Zhuo straightforwardly mobilized the cavalry and drove the courtiers aside from the main road, the entire officialdom of Luoyang had an intuitive understanding of Dong Zhuo's temperament.
- arrogance, recklessness; Or perseverance, daring to do things.
Both of these statements are fine, just depending on which side your ass is sitting on.
Taifu Yuan Kui was quite satisfied with Dong Zhuo's performance. If it was when the situation in the court was stable, he would not look at a martial artist like Dong Zhuo. However, the current Runan Yuan clan has a huge black cauldron that needs a person of sufficient weight to carry it. In this case, Dong Zhuo's daring and daring characteristics have become the point that Taifu Yuan Kui values him the most.
As for what this black pot is, Dong Zhuo learned about his mission two days later, after going to a banquet in Taifu's Mansion. Although Dong Zhuo was extremely shocked and even frightened by this task, in front of the official position promised by Taifu Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo still did not hold on to it, and gritted his teeth to accept it.
Yuan Kui's plan is quite complicated, and it requires a lot of courage. After listening to Yuan Kui's arrangement, Dong Zhuo's first thought was not to analyze the purpose of Yuan Kui's design, but immediately thought of what the Yellow Turban Yu had said to him a few months ago.
"General Dong's entry into Beijing this time will inevitably be able to grasp the supreme authority of the imperial court. Perhaps, when the time comes, even if General Dong wants to abolish the Son of Heaven, it will only be a matter of one sentence! ”
At that time, Dong Zhuo naturally didn't take his arrogant words seriously. But since he went to the banquet in Taifu's Mansion, Dong Zhuo's jealousy of this person has immediately deepened by three points!
If it weren't for the fact that Dong Zhuo was indeed a flawless doppelganger now, Dong Zhuo would have the urge to immediately order the entire Liangzhou Army to set foot on the Hetao and Taihang Mountain!
- Is this Zhang Wuji really the so-called "Little Heavenly Master"?
However, Dong Zhuo, who was in the political maelstrom of Luoyang, quickly threw aside his jealousy of arrogance. For him, the once-coveted supreme authority was in front of him. For this perhaps illusory miss, Dong Zhuo doesn't mind gambling with his entire net worth.
Taifu Yuan Kui's plan needs to be completed in batches and steps. For Dong Zhuo, who wants to make great use of it, Yuan Kui understands that Dong Zhuo's current power is still too poor. If Dong Zhuo wants to have the strength to complete Yuan Kui's plan, Yuan Kui must first strengthen Dong Zhuo's strength, even if it is only superficial.
The mere 3,000 cavalry, no matter how elite and good they were, compared to the tens of thousands of Northern Army and Xiyuan Army in Luoyang City, it was really not enough to see.
Therefore, Yuan Kui mobilized several reliable family connections in his hands and prepared a hidden Tibetan army for Dong Zhuojun outside the city of Luoyang. In addition, the Taifu Mansion also produced a large number of different styles of military uniforms and flags on the grounds of replacing the military clothing and flags of the West Garden Army and the Fifth School of the Northern Army.
Then, Dong Zhuo asked his 3,000 elite horsemen to sneak out of the city from the north every night, make a big circle, and arrive at the hidden Tibetan army arranged by Yuan Kui. There, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army changed their military uniforms and flags, and early the next morning, they swaggered into Luoyang from the West City Gate, giving all the residents of Luoyang the impression that the new reinforcements of the Xiliang Army had arrived.
After a few days of circulating like this, Dong Zhuojun's strength was immediately magnified several times by all those who were interested. In the eyes of these unclear courtiers, Dong Zhuo is already a formidable existence with tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang City. The people in the court who originally wanted to provoke Dong Zhuo were now frightened by the "bluff" plan arranged by Yuan Kui, and they didn't dare to move at all.
With prestige, this is not enough, but also to replenish strength.
At this point, Yuan Kui did even better. He clearly told Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's two nephews, so that they could not do anything, and collect the remnants left by the two brothers, He Jin and He Miao. Yuan Shao had a slight objection to this, and was ordered by Yuan Kui to study in the Taifu Mansion and not go out.
It can be seen that Yuan Kui was really stimulated by Yuan Shao's arrogant actions this time. So much so that Yuan Kui did not dare to let the direct power in Yuan Shao's hands expand no matter what, and would rather trust Dong Zhuo, a "person with a foreign surname".
Those generals and soldiers under the general and the general of the chariot cavalry originally had a great intention of taking refuge in Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu after their master's house fell. However, after Yuan Kui made it clear for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu that they were within the laws of the imperial court and could no longer expand the scale of their subordinates, these panicked remnants of the He clan had no choice but to send people to persuade the former general Dong Zhuo to lure them with good conditions.
Anyway, this "Dong Fat Man" is also a former official of the Yuan family in Runan, and joining his subordinates can be regarded as reluctant.
However, not all the rest of the generals look up to Dong Zhuo.
For example, Bao Xin, the cavalry commander, is an exception. Bao Xin was ordered by the general He Jin to return to his hometown Taishan County to recruit troops, and the day he returned to Luoyang was just one day later than Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing.
Bao Xin didn't understand Yuan Shao who sat back and watched Dong Zhuo, a vulgar martial artist, arbitrarily annex the rest of the generals. For this reason, under the cover of his friend Cao Cao, he quietly met with Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili.
After seeing Yuan Shao, Bao Xin immediately said to Yuan Shao:
"The former general's current military power, is it too great? Observing the temperament of the former general, it seems that the ambition is not small? (To be continued......)
