Chapter 230: Charcoal in the Snow
Dong Zhuo stopped under Longshan, looked at the military camp that was gradually taking shape, and sighed heavily. He was in a very bad mood, and the thought of being embarrassed in front of everyone just now made his heart feel like a mountain had been crushed.
"Baume & Mercier, that's all." Dong Zhuo muttered to himself. Offering courtesy to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao didn't look down on me, and he was actually ridiculed by him on the grounds of Han Sui. Han Sui is also a celebrity in Xizhou, but now that he is attached to Liu Xiu, he is still a celebrity.
Yes, I got today's official position by relying on the eunuchs, but what is Liu Xiu, didn't he also rely on the favor of the Son of Heaven to get to where he is today? Compared with him, my combat achievements are greater, and I am more at ease than him, why do you Han Sui look down on Liu Xiu, but you don't look down on me, and embarrass me in front of so many people.
and Yuan Benchu, you think you are a child of a family, and there is no one in your eyes, one day you will see how powerful I am.
"Let's go!" Dong Zhuo slapped the obstacle heavily, and seemed to spit out a mouthful of resentment, but he was still panicked in his heart.
Niu Ru, the governor of the tribe, answered, gave one last glance at Jinyang City, and was about to give the order to set off, but was stunned. Dong Zhuo was very surprised when he saw that he didn't move, and was about to scold angrily, when the guard Sima Hu Zhen shouted: "It's Han Wenyue!" ”
"Han Wenyue?" Dong Zhuo was uncomfortable when he heard the name now, but he still turned his head naturally.
Han Sui came with more than a dozen personal guards Pegasus, rolled the saddle in front of the car and dismounted, took two steps, and stopped in front of Dong Zhuo's car. With a smile on his face, he bowed and bowed: "Lord Dong, please stay." ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, the resentment just now suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly got up from the car and knelt on the car to show his respect: "Mr. Wenyue came in a hurry, I don't know what advice you have?" ”
Han Sui smiled and said, "Don't dare to advise." My family has been famous for adults for a long time, and just now there are many people and mixed mouths, so it is difficult to talk about it in detail. At the moment, there are a lot of chores, so I came to ask the adult to stay for a while, and as soon as he finished his official business, he rushed to ask the adult for advice. ”
Dong Zhuo's heavy eyebrows were raised, and he immediately became radiant, and he couldn't believe his ears: "Lord Liu wants to ...... with me." Discuss? ”
"Exactly, my envoy said that the lord fought in the state of merger back then, and now he is his predecessor, and he must have a lot of opinions on the situation in the state, and if he can get the guidance of the adult, it will definitely be of great benefit to him."
Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and laughed, jumped out of the car, pulled Han Sui's arm, and smiled affectionately: "I don't dare to say it, but since Lord Liu thinks so highly of me Dong Zhuo, I don't dare to hide it." Lord Liu has just arrived in Jinyang, of course, his official affairs are a little miscellaneous, whether it is Wang Yun or Wang Qiu, he is not a good stubble. I'll wait for him to see what kind of scenery this Jinyang camp is. ”
Han Sui nodded again and again: "My lord also said that Lord Dong has been in the military camp for a long time and is skilled in military affairs, so I have to ask my lord more advice in this regard." ”
Dong Zhuo was very relieved, and asked people to set up a banquet on the side of the road and have a good time with Han Sui.
Liu Xiu finished handling official business, it was almost dark, and Wang Yun came to invite again. He cleaned up a little, and was just about to get up and follow Wang Yun. Zhao Yun walked over quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.
Duan Gong asked Han Sui to keep Dong Zhuo outside the city, and he was waiting for you to say goodbye to Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xiu was very surprised, Duan Cheng asked Han Sui to keep Dong Zhuo outside the city, and he had to see Dong Zhuo off by himself? When did I reveal this meaning, I don't have a good impression of Dong Zhuo. However, since Duan Cheng did this, it must have made sense, and he didn't think much about it, turned to Wang Yun and said, "Please wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”
Wang Yun was inexplicable, and he didn't want to ask too much.
When Liu Xiu got on the horse and galloped out of Jinyang City Gate with Zhao Yun and the others, he already understood what Duan Cheng meant, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his bad emotions. What is Dong Zhuo's guilt, so far, he has not done anything to be sorry for the big man, who knows if he will be forced out in the future? It is a little unfair to Dong Zhuo to speculate on a person by himself based on the result - and the result that has not yet appeared.
Taking a step back, even if Dong Zhuo was born a wicked person, who is a naturally good person? If you want to make a career, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people, not only good people, but also evil people. Taizu once said that it is necessary to unite all those who can be united. If you only start from your own likes and dislikes, what is the difference between it and the later Wang Yun wanting to kill all the Xiliang people?
When he saw Dong Zhuo, Liu Xiu had already corrected his attitude, and when Dong Zhuo, who was talking happily with Han Sui, saw him and stood up to greet him, he had already strode over and bowed first: "Tired adults have waited for a long time, capital crime and capital crime." ”
Dong Zhuo saw that he was so polite, he was very face-saving, and he didn't even dare to say it. Liu Xiu explained again, saying that he was a newcomer and had busy affairs. Dong Zhuo could also understand, but explained a few words for him, and quipped: "If it weren't for the busy business of adults, where would I have had time to talk to Korean for so long." ”
Liu Xiu took a seat, and first pulled Dong Zhuo closer, such as we are all from the border county, we are all martial artists, of course, you are a senior, I am still a new ding, I will ask the adults for advice in the future. Dong Zhuo was in a very good mood, and responded one by one, and finally Liu Xiu said that when Hedong Taishou Han Chun did not send weapons, Dong Zhuo also said with the same feeling, these scholars, their eyes are on their heads, they don't know how thick the sky is, they are one by one, they are really on the battlefield, they are nothing. You can rest assured, as soon as I take office in Hedong, I will ask people to make up for the lack of iron for you.
Dong Zhuo specially reminded Liu Xiu, Wang Yun is a person, if you don't mess with it, it's best not to mess with it. The contradiction between Wang Qiu and him has been going on for a long time, and you don't have to believe Wang Qiu's words, the water in this is deep. He immediately told Liu Xiu the reason for the incident.
Wang Qiu's predecessor was Liu Zhen, when Wang Yun was in his early twenties, it was when he was strong, he was a county official in the county, and not long after he took office, he killed Zhao Jin, the little yellow door. Zhao Jin is a person in the palace, although he is not the most powerful type, but Zhao Jin is used to being rampant in Jinyang, how could his family swallow this breath and sue Emperor Xiaohuan. Emperor Xiaohuan was furious, and killed Liu Zhiqi Che Zhengtingwei. Wang Yun, he escorted the mourning to the plains, mourned for Liu Zhen for three years, and then came back, this time the reputation of the son was even greater, and the new Taishou Wang Qiu recruited him again as a meritorious Cao, in charge of the personnel of a county.
Wang Qiu eliminated him, of course, to use Wang Yun's reputation and ability, but he soon found out that he was shooting himself in the foot. Wang Qiu took a fancy to a man named Lu Fu and wanted to appoint him. However, Wang Yun resolutely disagreed, saying that Lu Buddha was "a man with little name and no name", that is, he had a bad reputation and a low character. In fact, although Lu Fo is not a great talent, he is not very bad, otherwise Wang Qiu would not have discredited himself. For this matter, the two fell out, Wang Qiu wanted to kill Wang Yun, but he didn't expect Wang Yun's reputation to be too big, as soon as he arrested Wang Yun, Deng Sheng sent someone to summon Wang Yun to do it by another driver.
What is Chichuan? Liu Xiu roughly knew one thing, that is, using the fastest bus to give orders, which had the same meaning as the six-hundred-mile rush in the army, which meant urgency.
Wang Qiu and Wang Yun had a quarrel, Wang Yun didn't have anything to do, but became a subordinate official of the assassin history, it was a casual thing to clean up Wang Qiu, Wang Qiu lost inside and out, and since then he has lost face in Taiyuan County, and no one listens to his words anymore.
At the beginning of Dong Zhuo's succession, he heard of Wang Yun's name, plus Deng Sheng is now a servant of the dynasty, and he is very important to Wang Yun, and he has recommended him in front of others many times, Dong Zhuo is not willing to go against him, so he still let Wang Yun do something else, basically he handed over the affairs of the state to Wang Yun to deal with, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Yun is the actual history of the state assassination.
……
Yuan Shao got out of the car and nodded to Wang Yun, who received the news, but did not follow him into the door, but turned around and stretched out his hand very respectfully: "Mr. Ji Fang, please." ”
Wang Yun was originally a little surprised, who else did he need to be so polite to as Yuan Shao, but as soon as he heard the word Ji Fang, he immediately came to his senses: "Yingchuan Chen Taiqiu's son, Chen Jun Ji Fang?" ”
Yuan Shao nodded reservedly, and in Wang Yun's surprised gaze, he helped Chen Chen get out of the car. In fact, Chen Chen is only in his forties, and he doesn't need to help him at all, but every time he meets with Bingzhou Haojun today, he naturally has to do enough courtesy.
"I have heard for a long time that the prince of Taiyuan is both civil and military, and he is a rare handsome, and when I see it today, he is really a talent." Chen Chen arched his hand at the stunned Wang Yun, Wang Yun came back to his senses, and hurriedly returned the salute, bowing and apologizing: "Mr. Daimyo, Yun has heard of it for a long time." I don't want to be lucky enough to see dignity today. Dare to ask Mr. Taiqiu? ”
"Thank you." Chen Chen hurriedly straightened his face: "Thank you for the gentlemen's concern." My father was in good health. ”
"Taiqiu is out of the mountain, and the Han is expected to be gone." Wang Yun did not hide the reverence on his face: "Although the Son of Heaven is young, and although the father and son of the Song family are stupid, this matter has been done very properly. ”
Chen Chen was humble again and again. Wang Yun politely leaned sideways and welcomed Chen Chen into the door with a very respectful attitude, Yuan Shao didn't mind, but was more steady, and followed behind Chen Chen step by step.
There are Haoqiang of Taiyuan County sitting in the hall, some of them are still the Peng subordinates of the Assassin Mansion, and they are celebrities from other counties, seeing Wang Yun leading a middle-aged man in, they all thought that this was Yuan Shao and Yuan Sima of the Fourth and Third Dukes, and they rushed up to salute together, talking about admiration.
Wang Yun laughed, invited Yuan Shao to the front, and said with admiration, you have recognized the wrong person, this is Yuan Sima, this is his guest, but he is also a famous man, Mr. Chen Jifang, the son of the famous Chen Taiqiu.
Everyone was stunned, and then sighed with emotion, praising Yuan Shao's prestige, but he was still such a courteous corporal, not conceited because of his noble family background, which was enough to be a role model.
Yuan Shao and Chen Chen performed such a play, the original purpose was to show Yuan Shao's respect for scholars, and now that the goal has been successfully completed, they are naturally satisfied. Wang Yun introduced them one by one to the talents of the state, Yuan Shao and them one by one, he is well-informed, and he is used to dealing with these people since he was a child, enthusiastic and not rude, so that everyone can feel his friendliness and appreciation, many people's names and deeds he has heard, timely put forward to praise, so that the other party feels very face-saving.
The atmosphere that was obviously a little boring because of waiting was suddenly swept away, and many people almost forgot that today's host and guest was Liu Xiu, who was the master of the assassin history, and they felt that Yuan Shao was the most important guest today. It wasn't until Yuan Shao reminded him that Wang Yun patted his head, sank his face, and said unhappily: "Lord Liu said that there is something going on, and he will be there soon, I don't know why he hasn't come yet." ”
Yuan Shao feigned surprise: "Don't you know? Lord Liu went out of the city to see off Dong Zhuo. ”
Wang Yun's face suddenly became very ugly, and the people chattering next to him slowly fell silent. Dong Zhuo has not been doing the history of merging states for a long time, but the impression left on them is very poor. Dong Zhuo himself is very rude, a standard martial artist, and he is an official who follows the path of a eunuch, and the people under him have no culture, although Dong Zhuo is still strict, but he has done a lot of things that harm the local area, and the impression left on the people of Bingzhou is very bad. Otherwise, Wang Yun and they would not have refused to give him food.
Wang Yun was very unhappy, he knew that Liu Xiu didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously at first, Yuan Shao let Dong Zhuo not get off the stage in person, and Liu Xiu didn't stop it, thinking that although Liu Xiu didn't have much knowledge, after all, he was a disciple of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, and he was more or less a scholar, and his ideas should be closer to them, so he arranged a grand reception banquet, but excluded Dong Zhuo.
He didn't think about it, he guessed completely wrong, Liu Xiu left them here and personally rushed outside the city to see off Dong Zhuo, which made him in a dilemma and dilemma. For these celebrities and celebrities, he touched Liu Xiu's pulse wrongly, and for Liu Xiu, he snubbed Dong Zhuo, will it make him feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, leaving a bad impression? Will Dong Zhuo say something unfavorable to Liu Xiu?
Wang Yun didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately rushed out of the city.
……
"A conversation with you is better than ten years of study." Liu Xiu was grateful. The two talked about military affairs again, Dong Zhuo had already heard Han Sui say that Liu Xiu was now Duan Cheng's disciple, and he also invited Duan Cheng to Jinyang to set up a school in Jinyang to train officers. Dong Zhuo patted his thigh vigorously, "De Ran, you did this, but you breathed a sigh of relief for us martial artists." Not to mention anything else, Liangzhou Sanming should be the pride of our Liangzhou people and the pride of our martial artists, but it is really frustrating to say, even Huangfu Weiming and Zhang Ranming themselves look down on martial artists, and they are bent on learning, and they can't wait to peel off the skin of this martial artist on their bodies and drill into the skin of the scholar, but so what? They still ignore them. Duan Gong is an understanding person, but it's a pity that he saw the wrong person, if you hadn't saved him, he would probably have been beheaded like Wang Fu and hung at the city gate to show the public. You can suggest that the Son of Heaven establish a doctor of military science in Taixue, so that we, the martial artists, can enter and exit Taixue openly, which is definitely a great achievement. ”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and touched Liu Xiu, drank it all in one gulp, and then thought about it again, "No, since Duan Gong has arrived in Jinyang, how can I pass by and not go to see him?" I'm going back to the city and asking Duan Gong for benefits in person. ”
After speaking, he immediately got up, returned to the car and returned to the city, and went straight to the Assassin's Mansion to see Duan Cheng as a disciple. Duan Cheng encouraged a few words, and glanced at Liu Xiu with relief, since Dong Zhuo's attitude was so good, then Liu Xiu must have understood his intentions and went further.
Duan Cheng is old, he has worked hard in his career for many years, and after more than ten years of baptism, he has long lost the enthusiasm and impulse of the year, and there are more lessons than experience, and he knows that the risks in officialdom often come from a moment of carelessness. Dong Zhuo seems to be rude, but he can come back so quickly, obviously because he has received the guidance of a master, and the official will become bigger and bigger in the future, Liu Xiu will inevitably deal with him in the future, one more friend is better than one more enemy. What's more, they are all martial artists, and they should work together.
When they were talking indoors, Wang Yun came panting, although he was in a bad mood, he still had to have a smile on his face, although everyone could see that this smile was not sincere.
"My lord, we are all waiting for the adults to come." Wang Yun intentionally or unintentionally aggravated the word "big driver".
Dong Zhuo understood as soon as he heard it, his heart was hot, and he felt that Liu Xiu was really giving face, so he hung a group of heroes in Bingzhou there and went to see him off outside the city.
"I'll take my leave." Dong Zhuo turned around to leave.
"Master Dong stays." Wang Yunpi laughed without smiling: "I see that Lord Liu and the adults have a very happy conversation, and there must be something unfinished." In that case, why not go for a light meal, drink some water and wine, and continue to chat, so that we can open our eyes. ”
Dong Zhuo and Liu Xiu were talking happily, they were in a happy mood, they didn't notice the mystery in Wang Yun's words, and they responded happily. Duan Cheng was an old man, knowing that there was no good wine in this wine and no good banquet, so he deduced that he was old and in poor health, so he didn't go. Wang Yun doesn't care, although Duan Cheng is also a servant and Liu Xiu's teacher, he is a martial arts teacher, and he doesn't think so.
Liu Xiu and Dong Zhuo traveled in the same car, in his words, I came to Bingzhou on horseback, and I didn't even have a car, so I was really ashamed. Dong Zhuo was very emotional, he didn't like to ride a car, he preferred to ride a horse, but an official must also have official authority, if he doesn't ride a car, if he rides a horse, he will be impeached and said that it is not etiquette. Liu Xiu has the edict of the Son of Heaven, so he can ignore this, but he can't be so arrogant.
After arriving at the banquet, everyone saw that Dong Zhuo, who had already stepped down, also came, and they couldn't help but be a little strange, but they couldn't ask anything, so they had to ask Wang Yun with their eyes. Wang Yun quickly passed the word, signaling everyone to prepare, and when the time came, he would give this new Lord Thorn Shi a dismissal, and let him know the consequences of not taking the heroes of Bingzhou in his eyes, but going to Dong Zhuotao.
Everyone suddenly realized, and they were all ready to try. Yuan Shao and Chen Chen saw it in their eyes, happy in their hearts, and watched the further development of the situation quietly. Liu Xiu looked at them in his eyes, but he was worried in his heart, he had just arrived in Bingzhou, and if he wanted to do things in the future, he would have to rely on these strong men, how could he go to war on the first day of his tenure.
Seeing his hesitation, Han Sui quietly came over and reminded Liu Xiu that the adults thought that if they were calm, they would be able to do a good job of the assassination of the state in peace? No, if you don't give them a little bit of power today, you can't do a good job of assassinating the state, either you will rule with the same hands as Dong Zhuo - this is not to say that the country is governed by Taoism, but the meaning of being set aside-or you will be disgraced like Wang Qiu. According to the usual practice, when the new Assassin arrives, the servants of the Assassin Mansion will not go to the state border to greet them, at least to the county border, and if they take 10,000 steps back, they will at least go out of the city to greet them, but when do you think Wang Yun will come to see you? The lord entered the Assassin's Mansion, and after handing over official duties, Wang Yun appeared.
What does this mean, this shows that they didn't stab Lord Shi at all. On the other hand, Yuan Shao is the Sima under the adult, he doesn't advance and retreat with the adult, but he preemptively comes to get close to Wang Yuntao, where does he put the adult?
