Section 45 The Han Palace's Current Serial [3]
Dong Zhuo's behavior was like suddenly pouring a scoop of cold water on a boiling oil pot!
For a time, the important ministers of the court who were in contact with the eunuchs wrote one after another, criticizing Dong Zhuo's illegal actions and not the way of being a minister, and asked the Son of Heaven to send envoys to seize military power and escort this rebel minister who had no court law to take away military power and escort him back to the capital to be imprisoned!
However, the general He Jin maintained a silent attitude towards Dong Zhuo's appearance.
From an outsider's point of view, this mostly means that the former general Dong Zhuo's above table was secretly agreed by the general. The eunuch family even directly believed that Dong Zhuo had taken refuge in the general He Jin, and was willing to become He Jin's minions and act as a vanguard against the eunuchs.
For this matter, Chen Lin, who served as the chief bookkeeper in the General's Mansion, specially and solemnly wrote a letter of advice, handed it to the general He Jin, and persuaded He Jin to let Dong Zhuo withdraw from the army. Chen Lin wrote in the admonition:
"Yi" says that 'the deer is safe', and the proverb is 'covering the eyes and catching birds'. The husband and the small things cannot be deceived to achieve the will, and the major affairs of the country can be deceitful? Today's general is always mighty, holding the troops, the dragon and the tiger are stepping, and the height is in the heart. The husband violates the economic and coherent way, and no one obeys, and the anti-commission is a sharp weapon, and he even recruits foreign help. The gathering of soldiers, the strong are the heroes, the so-called inverted fighting, giving people a handle, the merit will not be achieved, and the grass is chaotic. ”
- General, your power is unmatched in the world. If you want to clean up the eunuchs, you can just give an order. If Dong Zhuo and other county soldiers from other places are allowed to enter Luoyang, at that time, whoever has more soldiers will have the right to speak. It is impossible to say that this will become a matter of giving a handle, and it will cause a terrible upheaval!
Chen Lin's writing, that's not to say. Chen Lin's reasoning, that will definitely not be wrong. Even Cao Cao, a military captain who has never been too close to the general He Jin, also asked to see the general in private behind his friend Yuan Shao's back. persuaded He Jin to give up the idea of bringing foreign troops into Beijing. Afterwards, Chen Lin felt that Cao Cao and himself had similar opinions, and secretly recorded the incident, saying:
"Cao Gong laughed when he heard it and said: 'Eunuch officials, ancient and modern should have them, but the lord of the world should not be a fake favor. So that's it. If you punish their crimes, they should punish the evil, and one jailer is enough, so why call foreign generals one after another? If you want to punish it, it will be revealed, and I will see its defeat. ’”
It's just that neither Chen Lin nor Cao Cao can convince the general to give a formal order. Let Dong Zhuo lead the army back to the station. For this strange move of the Great General, the officials of the entire Great General's Mansion were confused. On the contrary, Yuan Shao, who was the captain of Si Li, learned the inside story.
It turned out that the reason why the general He Jin did not give an order and let Dong Zhuo stop was because he knew that he couldn't order Dong Zhuo, so he wouldn't lose face.
You know, that Dong fat man. But he dared to rely on his military power and directly shirked the edict given to him by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Even Emperor Han Ling dared to ignore the people. He Jin felt that he was not sure to order him.
If the order is issued, and the fat man Dong refuses to carry it out, it will inevitably reduce the prestige of the general......
Moreover, Dong Zhuo went on the road with such fanfare, on the surface. The deterrent effect on the eunuchs is much stronger than that of Ding Yuan, Qiao Mao, Wang Kuang and others!
However, the general He Jin was extremely annoyed by Dong Zhuo's behavior. Dong Zhuo's behavior is almost rebellious. If it's not for some dark reason. He Jin actually wanted to order Huangfu Song, the world's number one general who was also stationed in the west to defend against the Qiang rebels, to cover up and kill Dong Zhuo from behind!
But He Jin learned from reliable sources that Dong Zhuo led the army eastward and did not violate military orders.
The reason why the former general Dong Zhuo dared to risk the world's disapproval and lead the army eastward was because in Dong Zhuo's hands, there was indeed a troop transfer document from the General's Mansion!
If there was no such transfer document from the General's Mansion, the captain of the Han army stationed in the Tongguan fortress would not have allowed Dong Zhuo's army to pass. However, He Jin clearly remembered that he had never given an order for Dong Zhuo to send troops!
- What the hell is going on?
He Jin's first reaction was that there was a mole in the General's Mansion.
However, after thinking about the list of subordinates in the General's Mansion, He Jin had to give up the idea of investigating the traitor. Because, nearly half of the subordinate officials of the entire Great General's Mansion are party members. If you want to investigate who forged the troop transfer documents in Dong Zhuo's hand, unless these party members are cleaned up first. Otherwise, He Jin believes that this matter will not come to fruition!
Putting the two things together, the Shogun still paid more attention to the fact that someone in the shogunate had forged documents. As for Dong Zhuo? He Jin also wants to take a cold look, who is behind the scenes of this guy?
Dong Zhuo's marching speed was neither fast nor slow. At the beginning of July, his forward troops had reached Michichi in Hongnong County. At this time, neither the foreign officials who remained neutral in this Sino-Korean dispute, nor the general He Jin himself, could not continue to sit back and watch Dong Zhuo's advance.
So, after an urgent consultation with important ministers, Yuan Kui, the Taifu Yuan Kui, nominated the courageous "counselor" Chong Shao, and was ordered to go to Mianchi with the festival to stop Dong Zhuo's army from advancing.
The name of the pond comes from the name of the ancient pool, the real name is the pond, and it is named after the water worm (a kind of water worm) injected into the pool. In the thirty-sixth year of King Zhou [279 B.C.], Qin and Zhao met here. The King of Qin met with the King of Zhao here, and the story of Lin Xiangru "making the King of Qin smash" occurred.
Shenfu, the character of Shao, has always been famous for his uprightness and outspokenness. In the face of the hundred battles of elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command, Chong Shao was not afraid, stood on the road with a festival, and shouted at the knights of Dong Zhuojun who came forward:
"The angels are here! You can't get off the horse yet! ”
The "angel" here is not the winged birdman in Western mythology, but the abbreviation of "the envoy of the Son of Heaven".
At that time, the prestige of the Han family had not diminished, and the whole world still regarded Liu as the only emperor in the world. Dong Zhuo's department, although it has been ruled by Dong Zhuo for many years, is similar to Dong Zhuo's private soldiers, but after all, he is still the emperor of the Han family. Seeing the appearance of Shao Dayi Ling Ran, and raising the name of the Son of Heaven, those old soldiers who rolled out in the bloody battlefield, for a while, they all became submissive and did not dare to defend.
Seeing that the name of the Son of Heaven is easy to use, the courage of Shao is even stronger. He raised the scepter in his hand high, stepped forward slowly, and reprimanded in an impassioned and loud voice:
"On the Son of Heaven's Day, patrol the Quartet! If you are not an edict, you will not be allowed to march! ”
Dong Zhuo's troops are fierce and fierce, but they are still full of awe for the son of the Han family. Seeing that the envoys of the Son of Heaven broke into the army in great strides, the sergeants on the opposite side not only did not dare to contradict the angels, but obediently got out of the way one by one. I don't know who started first, but suddenly, where Chong Shao passed, the sergeant actually knelt down!
Moreover, one thing that is particularly surprising is that those barbarians in the army, such as the Qiang people, the Di people, and the Zahu people, when facing the Han Emperor's Scepter, the sense of awe in their hearts is obviously much stronger than that of the Han people. The most intuitive manifestation is that the heads of these barbarian soldiers are about to hang to the ground......
- The power of the Son of Heaven, as soon as it ends!
Li Ru, who saw this scene, whispered to persuade his father-in-law and said:
"Adults are not allowed to defy angels now. Our army might as well be stationed in Michi first and wait and see the changes in the imperial court......"
Hearing his son-in-law's suggestion, Dong Zhuo thought so. At this time, he couldn't help but think of the arrogance that was far away in Meiji.
- That kid, it seems that he has expected these things for a long time? ……
Dong Zhuo would think of arrogance at this moment, which is actually very normal. Because, at this moment, he is holding a piece of paper in his hand. The words on the paper were written by Zhang Qiang to remind Dong Zhuo that the South and East Forts in Baibo Valley should be "returned" to the Tai Xing Army.
Although Zhang Qi did not say directly in the letter, if Dong Zhuo did not pay it back, what would be the consequences. However, as long as you are not a fool, who can not see the threat revealed between the lines?
If you don't return the land, you will go to war!
That's all.
It can only be said that the opportunity chosen by the arrogant is extremely suitable. Earlier or later, Dong Zhuo had the confidence to ignore the threat of arrogance.
At this time, it was a critical moment for Dong Zhuo to try to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court. Dong Zhuo, who has no time to be distracted, is really not suitable to tear his face with him in the face of the arrogant and faint threat.
"It seems that this kid is really going to be cheaper......"
Dong Zhuo is not a person who can't afford to lose. In his career, he has experienced ups and downs not once or twice. Laughing bitterly at his son-in-law Li Ru, Dong Zhuo ordered:
"Let Captain Niu withdraw from the White Wave Valley. However, before you leave, clean up the money and food for me! ”
Niu Fu is in Hedong, mainly to collect money and grain, so that he will clash with the forces of Baibo Valley. Now that he wants to abandon Bai Bogu, with his temperament, he must have scraped those powerful landlords in the control area very clean, right?
As for the "disaster victims" who have been swept away?
Of course, it's left to the stinky boy who is arrogant to deal with. Dong Zhuojun has always acted "to kill and bury"! (To be continued......)
PS: I would like to give you a good old age. During the Chinese New Year, I really didn't have the heart to write a book, and here, I apologize to all the book friends who have been supporting.
Starting today, the update will return to normal, and the big climax of this volume is coming. The so-called serial scheme has absolutely nothing to do with Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu or anything. This is my exclusive hypothesis, and it is my pride in this book. I believe it can give you an unexpected story.
