Regarding what Bao Xin said, Yuan Shao naturally knew it. Helplessly, Yuan Kui had already arranged for this, and Yuan Shao, as a junior generation, had to obey honestly. Moreover, he is now deprived of freedom of movement by his uncle, and in the face of Dong Zhuo's actions, he can only be out of sight.

Due to the above reasons, Yuan Shao's reply to Bao Xin was just one sentence:

"The former general is a national cadre city (1), and Captain Bao doesn't have to worry about it."

Bao Xin listened to Yuan Shao's words, although he was a little disappointed, he still tried hard to lobby and said:

"According to the laws of the country, how can a mere former general lead so many soldiers in the Beijing Division? Dong Zhongying is not a general, such an act, I am afraid that it is too much to hold it! ”

"Now most of the military power of the Beijing division is in the hands of General Dong. Even if the court decrees, I'm afraid he may not be willing to hand over the military power! ”

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao, who was on the side, suddenly interjected:

"Dong Zhongying acted without scruples, and in my opinion, it seems that she has a big plan. Originally, he was a former official of the Yuan family, what kind of plans did he have, would he not even be able to see you? ”

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shao felt aggrieved, but on the surface, he still pretended not to understand, and explained to the two guests:

"Meng De, Bao Duwei, the day before yesterday, I commanded the troops to kill the eunuchs, the killing was too heavy, my uncle was very displeased, and punished me to draw the ground at home as a prison, except for the lieutenant of the division and the lieutenant, I was not allowed to listen to it. Now, if you want to talk about the affairs of Beijing, I am afraid that the highway knows more than me. ”

Listening to Yuan Shao's words of evasion, Bao Xin was quite disappointed. However, he was not completely dead, so he simply put down a fierce message and tested Yuan Shao:

"Is Yuan Sili worried that Dong Zhuo has a lot of soldiers, I'm afraid he won't be able to subdue it at once? In the opinion of faith. Although Dong Zhuobing has many soldiers, most of them are the Beijing army that has just been annexed. These Beijing soldiers are suspicious and will not fight to the death for Dong Zhuo. If the wind is down, as long as Dong Zhuo's situation is unclear, they will inevitably adopt a wait-and-see attitude. ”

"As for Dong Zhuo's cronies' Flying Bear Army, I heard that they are in order to enter Beijing. Ran 300 miles in a few days. The Art of War: Those who seek profit for a hundred miles will be the general. Since Dong Zhuo disregarded the art of war and made a savage advance, it would inevitably lead to the extreme exhaustion of his subordinates, and it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time. With the tired pawn, controlling the suspicious people, the letter took the three thousand troops as the vanguard, and Yuan Sili then drove the troops to the letter Zhang Shi. will definitely be able to capture Dong Zhuo! ”

After Bao Xin finished speaking, before Yuan Shao could speak, Cao Cao on the side slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Well said! Yuncheng's analysis is deeply in line with the art of war. Originally, if you were intentional, plus my 2,000 reliable subordinates, you would definitely break General Dong! ”

"Ahh

Cao Cao's words were not finished. Yuan Shaoxian screamed. Glancing at Cao Cao, who was dancing, Yuan Shao said quietly:

"Cao Mengde! What are you doing slapping my thighs! ”

But it turned out. The thigh that Cao Cao slapped was not his own, but Yuan Shao's.

"Haha, it hurts too much to slap your own thigh, so of course you want to shoot someone else's......"

Cao Cao's smile made Yuan Shao a little crying and laughing.

Among those friends that Yuan Shao befriended. Cao Cao is a special one. Because he was from a eunuch family, Yuan Shao was secretly wary of him. However, seeing Cao Cao's active opposition to eunuchs, coupled with this person's good ability, Yuan Shao still intended to take him as a confidant. In the future, if there is anything inconvenient for him to come forward, Yuan Shao can also instruct Cao Cao to take the lead. Serve as powerful minions and charge for yourself.

So, although I don't like Cao Cao's informality. But no one is perfect, since Yuan Shao can bear Xu Yu's greed for money, He Yan's stubbornness, of course, he can also accept Cao Cao's ridicule that has nothing to do with the overall situation.

However, although Yuan Shao didn't care about Cao Cao's jokes, Bao Xinke on the side was a little depressed. Seeing that the two of them joked a few words, they didn't mention Bao Xin's plan just now, and Bao Xin didn't want to mention it repeatedly, so he had to keep the question in his heart. When he and Cao Cao left the Sili Captain's Mansion together, Bao Xin quietly asked Cao Cao:

"Meng De, you were so authentic just now!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and made a look of looking down on Bao Xin on his horse. This expression, combined with Cao Cao's shorter figure than ordinary people, makes people feel a little unbearable.

"Yuncheng, you really can't see the original meaning?"

Bao Xin stared at Cao Cao and said with a serious expression:

"I want to hear about it!"

"Yuan Benchu is a genius in the world, and he knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the string songs. You speak so clearly that he won't hear it? I understood it at first, but I pretended not to understand, that's because I didn't want to do it! ”

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Bao Xin said coldly:

"Dong Zhuo is so rampant and doesn't pay attention to it, and one day he will raise tigers to cause trouble. Yuan is so inactive, he is only afraid of ...... Hum! ”

Cao Cao saw that Bao Xin was dissatisfied, leaned his head over, and whispered to Bao Xin:

"Actually, I suspect the matter of Changqiu Palace, but I'm afraid that there is something strange about it."

The matter of Changqiu Palace is the assassination of the great general He Jin. Hearing Cao Cao's words, Bao Xin's eyes lit up.

"Don't get excited, I'm just suspicious, but there is no reasonable speculation, let alone evidence!"

Cao Cao's subsequent words disappointed Bao Xin. Cao Cao is not the core of Yuan Shao's team, but with the IQ of his future generation of traitors, combined with the current strange situation of Jingshi, he instinctively sensed that there was something abnormal. Chatting with Bao Xin just now, Cao Cao accidentally slipped out.

In order to avoid trouble, save Bao Xin from being dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, and make something happen, Cao Cao hurriedly opened his mouth to remedy it:

"In any case, General He died at the hands of the eunuchs. Even if he had some selfishness in his heart, he avenged the general after all. Besides, that fat man Dong is the former official of the Yuan family after all. The so-called intimacy is different, Yuncheng wants Benchu to deal with Dong Fatzi, but you have to know the truth of 'intimacy'. ”

"Could it be that there is no hero in a huge capital who dares to fight against Dong Zhuo's lawlessness?"

Bao was sad and indignant and complained to Cao Cao. He was quick-witted and didn't dare to express his opinion on the affairs of Changqiu Palace, so he had to use Dong Zhuo as a punching bag.

"Maybe Taifu secretly has other plans?"

Cao Cao comforted his friend who had known him for many years. Bao Xin was speechless all the way, and when he arrived at his temporary residence in Beijing, he made up his mind and said to Cao Cao:

"Since the Yuan family has a plan, the letter will no longer be in the capital. I will leave Beijing tomorrow and return to Mount Tai with my troops. There are a lot of remnants of the yellow turbans, and Tao Xuzhou has issued several documents to send troops to exterminate the moth thieves. ”

The so-called "Tao Xuzhou" is the current Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian. It is said that when Tao Qian resurrected the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves last year, he was appointed by the imperial court as the assassin of Xuzhou with his courage and talent. In the task of suppressing the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves, Tao Qian made great achievements and was regarded as the best candidate to stabilize the Qingxu place.

Regarding Bao Xin's decision, Cao Cao was also silent.

Cao Cao's current situation in Luoyang is actually not very good. Although he is a military captain of the Western Garden Army of the Han Dynasty, his prestige is not enough, and his position is not high, but he does not have much military power in his hands. Since Yuan Shao, as the boss, decided to ignore Dong Zhuo's behavior, Cao Cao, as the younger brother, did not have the capital to oppose Dong Zhuo.

"It's good to go back. Today's Jingshi, the water is too deep. By the way, Yuncheng returned to Mount Tai this time, if you pass through Suiyang along the way, please help me pay homage to the tomb of the late Taiwei Qiaogong. ”

Hearing Cao Cao's request, Bao Xin readily agreed. He remembered that Cao Cao once said when he was drinking with him that the late Taiwei Qiao Xuan (2) and Cao Cao were old friends, and once joked with Cao Cao:

"After the submergence, there is a reason for the road, don't fight wine and chickens, the car is three steps, and don't complain about abdominal pain."

- After I die, if you pass by here, if you don't bring a bucket of wine or a chicken to me, don't blame me if you have a stomachache after the chariot and horse have passed three steps.

Therefore, Cao Cao's please, of course, Bao Xin will keep it in mind.

Bao Xin had just left the land of right and wrong in Luoyang, and a new military general led his army into Luoyang. This military general is also dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo. This attitude has been clearly expressed, which has attracted the attention of the government and the public.

This bold and rigid military general, surnamed Ding, named Yuan, and the word Jianyang.

Ding Yuan is the descendant of the great general He Jin, and has successively served as the assassin of the state and the lieutenant of the cavalry. When the general He Jin planned to force the ten permanent servants to leave Beijing on their own initiative, Ding Yuan boldly lit a beacon at the Mengjin ferry to create momentum for the general's actions.

Just three days before He Jin was assassinated, He Jin, who was in power, dismissed the "Zhi Jinwu" who was originally inclined to the eunuch line, and replaced Ding Yuan as the new "Zhi Jinwu". It's a pity that before Ding Yuan led his troops into Beijing to take office, the general He Jin died suddenly.

The position of "Zhijinwu" is a high-ranking official whose status can be compared with that of the Nine Emperors of the Imperial Court. His duties were to lead the forbidden army to defend the capital and Miyagi. Nominally, the entire Northern Army of the Han Dynasty was a subordinate of Zhi Jinwu. It can be said that according to the imperial court system, the military power of the entire Jingshi Luoyang should theoretically be held by Zhijinwu.

Of course, a theory is a theory. Due to the fact that the military power on the surface of the ruling Jinwu is too heavy, since the surrender of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, the actual military power of the ruling Jinwu has to be greatly discounted.

In particular, if there is a great general in the court, then there will be 200 Tiqi and 520 halberds left in the military power of Jinwu. These halberds are not used in battles, but are responsible for setting up a scene for the emperor when he travels. If you use the analogy of later generations, these subordinates of Zhijingo are about equivalent to the "honor guard of the three armed forces".

Now that Ding Yuan is the new "Zhijin Wu", he immediately announced to the outside world that Dong Zhuo's military horses are in the city and must obey his dispatch. According to the regulations of the imperial court, Ding Yuan is not wrong to say this.

But in the current period of chaos in the court, with Dong Zhuo's temper, how could he go to a "Zhijinwu" who has lost his foundation in the court? (To be continued......)
