Chapter 174: Xun Yu Returns to Shun
The carriage slowly left the Han Palace, accompanied by two hundred tigers and Dian Wei. When sitting in his current position, Zhang Shuang gradually understood why Dong Zhuo valued Lu Bu so much.
Now the world is really full of enemies, Luoyang ministers, magnates, hundreds of clans, plus their house slaves, possible dead soldiers, and doormen.
Zhang Shuang also killed a protΓ©gΓ© who was the third duke of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Kui.
I can't count how many people in Luoyang City want to take his life now. In the face of this situation, a strong and powerful fierce man will defend himself, which is very reassuring.
So although now Dian Wei, Zhou Cang is the leader of the army, the middle protector, and the general is a close general. But only Zhou Cang was in charge of the army, and Dian Wei was Zhang Shuang's entourage.
"General, why are you only looking for Mr. Xun You now?" Dian Wei asked strangely.
"Until then, I didn't dare look for him." Zhang Shuang shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Why? General, you control the government, Mr. Xun You is friendly with the general, and he joining the general will definitely help the general control Luoyang more easily. β
Dian Wei wondered.
"That's different, Xun You is different from Chen Gong, Wang Xiu and the Wenchen generals I recruited." Zhang Shuang shook his head and said.
"What's the difference?" Dian Wei is even stranger.
He was born in the Yingchuan Xun family, his great-grandfathers, grandparents, and fathers were all famous and famous, and his family lineage made him always have a little respect for the Han family in his heart. And after I entered Luoyang, I killed the emperor, the Empress Dowager Dong, the prince Liu Xie, killed He Jin, and deposed the three dukes. These can fool civilians, but they can't fool him. Therefore, Xun You didn't even come to the throne when the new emperor ascended the throne. It's a mental resistance. β
Zhang Shuang sighed.
Xun's Shuanglong, Xun Yu, Xun Yu. The historical record is very clear, Wang Zuocai and Zhang Liangcai. But they are loyal to the Han family, which is more obvious to Xun Yu, Xun Yu died worried about the survival of the Han family.
Zhang Shuang can command Chen Gong. Wang Xiu, judging and others, but they are not sure if they can command someone like Xun You.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the aftermath of killing the emperor is still there. But it's also a little bit past. I believe that even if there is injustice in Xun You's heart, it will pass a little.
Zhang Shuang made up his mind to find it.
Soon after, the brigade arrived at Xun You's house. The general came in person, and the men did not dare to stop him. led Zhang Shuang into the house, and hurriedly went to report to Xun You.
Zhang Shuang sat in the hall for a moment. Xun You walked out.
"Gongda!" Zhang Shuang arched his hand first.
At this moment, Zhang Shuang is not the general and the big Sima who is in Luoyang, but an ordinary gesture that simply feels a little guilty about his friends.
"Bo Liang!" Xun You said lightly, and then sat on the top seat.
Zhang Shuang was happy in his heart, and called me a cousin, just as I was a friend.
Zhang Shuang pondered for a while and said bluntly: "Gongda is sick, I am really worried in my heart. Now that I see that Gongda has a good complexion, I am relieved. There was a pause. Zhang Shuang said sincerely: "Ten permanent servants, He Jin is fighting for power and profit, and the court is full of some wine bags and rice bags, and there is a lack of good ministers like Xiang Gongda." I intend to make you an important minister and take charge of the government with me. I don't know if Gongda has this idea? β
"Zhang Boliang!" After Xun You heard this, he didn't say a word. just stared at Zhang Shuang tightly, which made Zhang Shuang a little hairy. After a while, Xun You said: "At the beginning, I misjudged half of you. β
"What half?" Zhang Shuang was puzzled.
"I saw that you had great talent to calm things. Inside the Deyang Palace. Give it mouth. I thought you were a loyal servant. As a result, you did pacify the Yellow Turbans and kill the Ten Constant Servants with the might of a hussar general. But you even killed the emperor, you are not a loyal minister, you are a traitor. β
Xun Yu Dao.
"Xun Shizhong !!" Dian Wei frowned beside him. The current Zhang Shuang is different from Zhang Shuang who farted with Chen Deng in Xuzhou. This is absolutely inappropriate.
Xun You glanced at Dian Wei and didn't make a sound. Zhang Shuang stopped Dian Wei and said to Xun You: "Whether it's wrong, or it's right." The current me is the real me. I'm disloyal to you. If you want to be self-reliant, I admit it, and I'm not afraid of what the world says. And I am sure that I must be the one who calms the world. Only I can solve the chaos of the Han Dynasty, and only I can solve the rebellion of the Qiang people that threatened the Han Dynasty and lasted for a hundred years. Karasuma, which rises in the northeast, is Xianbei. β
"I'm convinced of that. It is your strategy to pacify the Yellow Turban, it is your forbearance to succumb to the Ten Standing Servants, it is your power to send Zongyuan to guard Hongnong, and it is your courage to dare to kill the Son of Heaven. You can't say you're unique, but you're definitely one of the best in the world. You are in power, which is absolutely unfortunate for the Han family. But for the people of the world, it is definitely lucky. So, I don't exclude you. But deep down, I still have some feelings for the Han family. You killed the emperor, you went too far. Xun You looked at Zhang Shuang's face, remembered the past of his former friend, and said with a wry smile.
"Liu Hong has no self-knowledge, if he doesn't kill the Son of Heaven, I can't control Luoyang. If I don't kill the Son of Heaven, I can't deter Luoyang. Zhang Shuang said.
"So for the Han family, it's unfortunate." Xun Yu Dao.
"Speaking of which, what does Gongda think?" Zhang Shuang asked.
"You are in power, and your roots are shallow. Although the civil and military are eloquent, there are already signs of the rise of the world, and there must be many people I know, loyal ministers of the Han family, I don't want to help you crusade against them. If you can look up to me, let me be a ruler of the people. β
Xun You sighed and arched his hand.
Surprise! Definitely a surprise. Zhang Shuang is a little afraid of Xun You, because if Xun You refuses, he will face a choice, whether to let this talent go to others or kill him.
Zhang Shuang will not deceive himself, so the answer is the second.
Xun You's refusal is death.
And now, although Xun You did not promise him to become a strategist, he also promised him to be an official. This is actually very good, and Zhang Shuang's command also lacks great talents to govern the territory.
"Henan Yin, add General Dangkou, add your power. As long as you can help me run Henan County, whether you are for the well-being of the people, or punish the lawless. I don't care about you. β
Zhang Shuang said categorically.
"The counties in the world, led by Henan, have a population of more than one million. That's what made me shine. You can rest assured, I will definitely operate a solid and prosperous business. β
Xun You's spirit was a little more uplifted, and he said.
The goal was achieved, and Zhang Shuang was beaming. specially had a meal at Xun You's house, and then said goodbye and left. After Zhang Shuang left, he asked the Empress Dowager He to issue an edict. Ordered Xun Yu to be Henan Yin, General Dangkou, and Feng Liehou.
Since then, Xun Yu has been half obedient.
With the last important position of Henan Yin Hua fell to Xun You's family. Zhang Shuang's placement of cronies in the key yamen in Luoyang was successfully completed.
Not to mention that it is impregnable, but at least no one can bypass the wrists, ears and eyes of these cronies, and easily rebel.
The mood is really relaxed and cheerful. Zhang Shuang returned to the palace and had a sudden scene with Empress Dowager He on the dragon bed. In other words, in the name of the recent unstable situation, he justifiably lives in the palace, and no one dares to fart.
This stage is destined by God, Zhang Shuang's rapid development time. Thus, the farce of fate came on.
Twenty-five days after Zhang Shuang killed the Son of Heaven, the spies came to report and assassinated about 45,000 soldiers in the prefecture, arriving about fifty miles north of Luoyang.
Ding Yuan's soldiers. It's his own, and it's painful to lose one.
Zhang Shuang thought about it, and ordered the northern and southern armies to be stationed back in the city, close the city gate, and not engage Ding Yuan.
Zhang Shuang's order hit the morale of the generals.
"The great general, the great Sima, as the head of the Chinese and foreign dynasties, has 100,000 troops and is powerful in the world. Why did the little state assassin come? But you won't let us fight? β
"Give me 5,000 soldiers and horses to challenge."
The generals held their breath in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask Zhang Shuang. Then they gathered in groups and went to the General's Mansion. Disturbing the general Changshi trial.
"The history of the judge. What do you mean, General? β
"yes."
There were a lot of people who came, Gongsun Du, the captain of the city gate, Wang Chong, the general of the Southern Guard, Wu Kuang, and a number of captains.
"How do I know?" The judge smiled bitterly in his heart, and comforted these strong generals on his face. Said: "Generals, don't be impatient, let me go and see the general." β
After appeasing the generals, the judge went to the Han Palace in a hurry, and met Zhang Shuang in the Changqiu Palace.
That's right, I saw Zhang Shuang in Changqiu Palace, this is the palace of the former queen and now the queen mother, and sometimes I can't help but think about it, but I forcibly cut it off.
Now Zhang Shuang is also considered his monarch, that's too much.
Zhang Shuang sat on the main seat and listened to the intention of the trial. Shaking his head with a smile, he said, "I will immediately send someone to appease the generals." Then, Zhang Shuang sent someone down.
"It's just right that you're here. You go out of the city tonight and go to find Lu Bu, the chief bookkeeper of Ding Yuan. β
Zhang Shuang smiled again and said to the judge.
"What are you going to do when you go to see Ding Yuan's master book??? That's deep into the enemy camp. The judge wondered, he was afraid of dying, but he was afraid of sacrificing in vain.
"This person has a jackal heart, if Zhengnan you persuade him to submit, then Ding Yuan's forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, I can get it at my fingertips."
Zhang Shuang said with a smile.
"But he's just the main bookkeeper, and he's not the general who leads the troops." The judge wondered.
"Rebellion doesn't require a general, an assassin is enough. Ding Yuan is dead, and the generals will definitely be in chaos. And Lu Bu can definitely kill Ding Yuan. Zhang Shuang said with a smile on his face.
There were still some doubts in the judge's heart, but since Zhang Shuang was so resolute, he did it. So, the judge said: "No problem, but when it comes to descending, you have to come up with conditions." What is the general going to give him? β
"Forty or fifty thousand soldiers, what is the value to me now?" Zhang Shuang asked without answering.
"Priceless." The trial said categorically.
"Then I'll give him a priceless price, he won't refuse." Zhang Shuang took out a gold seal from his cuff that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to the judge.
The trial opened it and saw that the front of the gold seal. His expression was shocked, and he bowed down and said: "With this golden seal, the minister will definitely let Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan and send his soldiers to the general." β
"Huh!"
Zhang Shuang smiled and nodded. This is the method he came up with, in history, Dong Zhuo sent the red rabbit horse, he had a flying snow horse, but he was afraid that it was not good enough.
So, I thought of this method that Lu Bu would not refuse. (To be continued.) )
