Chapter 66: Xiliang Changes

Night, Ushisuke.

Niu Fu paced around the hall irritably, his face very ugly.

Li Ru and Li Dao also sat on the left and right, all frowning and silent.

It is rumored in the market that Niu Jin and Hu Mao were killed by Luo Zheng.

I don't know who spread the rumors, but the effect is obvious, and Niu Fu can't sit still.

Li Ru and the others wanted to get rid of Luo Zheng, but they were ready to wait for the evidence to be found, and then kill them justifiably.

But when this rumor came out, it changed a little.

There are even some people in the streets and alleys, saying that Niu Fu is afraid of Luo Zheng and does not dare to avenge his brother.

This rumor is not poisonous, if Niu Fu and Luo Zheng do not contradict each other. But Niu Fu wanted to kill Luo Zheng, and when he heard this rumor again, it would really become a fire, and the more he poured it, the more prosperous it became.

"No, General Ben is going to kill Luo Zheng'er."

Niu Fu paced for a while, paused suddenly, and seemed to have made up his mind.

Li Ru persuaded: "The general must not be impulsive, in this way, he will not fall for the tricks of the rats." ”

Niu Fu said angrily: "If you don't kill Luo Zheng'er, won't it make the Manchu Dynasty civil and military laugh." ”

Li Dao also said: "We secretly collected criminal evidence, but we couldn't find evidence of Luo Zheng'er's crime of killing General Niu Jin, and it is not a way to drag it out like this." According to a certain point of view, it is better to follow General Niu Fu's opinion and simply send troops to hunt and kill Luo Zhengxiao'er. ”

Niu Fu snorted and said, "Yes, even if the lord blames him afterwards, he can bear it together." Just a Luo Zheng child, kill it, kill it, at most be reprimanded by the lord for two sentences, and he will be beheaded. ”

Li Wei nodded again and again, expressing deep agreement.

Li Ru said: "The general thinks twice, although Luo Zhengxiao'er is insignificant, even if he is killed, the lord will reprimand him a few words at most, and he will not really be a general." But at present, the situation between the DPRK and China is very delicate, and the gap between the state army and our old department in Xiliang is deepening, so I am afraid that we are waiting to see a good show. If our old department in Xiliang is in chaos, there are many people in the DPRK who have some ill intentions, and if we take the opportunity to fan the flames from the side, I am afraid that it will cause a big mess. ”

"Hey! Angry! ”

Niu Fu just returned to the back of the case and sat down, slammed his fist on the table when he heard the words, and said through gritted teeth: "Who is secretly fanning the flames, if you let someone know, you have to peel him off." ”

Li Dao also said fiercely: "This person who fanned the flames is very hateful. ”

Li Ru said: "When Luo Zheng'er first arrived in Luoyang, there was no enemy in Luoyang, except for us, I heard that this guy married Wang Yunyi's daughter Diao Chan by force, but I don't know why, Wang Yun should have a grudge against him." In addition, when this guy married Diao Chan, he did not invite Lu Bu and other generals to join the state, and most of Lu Bu and others would also hold a grudge. Most of the people who fanned the flames were Wang Yun or Lu Bu. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some ministers of the DPRK and China who are quite deeply hidden and have ill intentions secretly fanned the flames. ”

Niu Fu said angrily: "Lu Bu is just a three-sex house slave, how dare he?" ”

Li Ru was about to speak, when suddenly Niu Fu's own soldiers rushed in and whispered to Niu Fu for a while.

Niu Fu frowned and said, "Han Sui and Ma Teng made peace?" ”

The pro-soldier nodded again and again: "Exactly, after the villain got the news, he came to report it as soon as possible." ”

Niu Fu was puzzled: "Aren't Ma Teng and Han Sui incompatible with fire and water, how could they suddenly stop making peace?" ”

"This, the villain doesn't know."

The soldiers scratched their heads and hurriedly retreated.

Li Ru also frowned and asked, "Ma Teng and Han Sui quit the army, is this true?" ”

Niu Fu said: "It should be true, the news came from the lord." ”

Li Ru said in a condensed voice: "Ma Teng and Han Sui strike the army, the situation in Xiliang has changed, once these two join forces, the lord wants to control Liangzhou without blood, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, and Confucianism will try his best to enter the palace to see the lord." ”

"Something is going to do it."

Niu Fu and Li Wei also got up one after another.

If such a big thing happens, we must discuss countermeasures.

Sure enough, before he left the house, Dong Zhuo had already sent someone to summon him.

It was late at night, and the side hall of Deyang Hall was still brightly lit.

Dong Zhuo convened a group of confidant ministers and generals to discuss important matters. Just now came news from Xiliang that the two largest warlords in Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui, had quit their troops, which was not good news for the current imperial court.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising in the first year of Zhongping, Liangzhou has been in constant turmoil.

First of all, the Qiang people Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others raised troops to rebel and entered the three assistants of Chang'an.

Later, Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou to support the public. Soon Liangzhou assassin Shi Geng was killed, and Ma Teng, a native of Fufeng Maoling, also rebelled with Han Sui, and led the army to invade Chang'an many times, and the war continued for several years.

Although Dong Zhuo was born in Xiliang, he actually did not have much control over Liangzhou.

Ma Teng had 50,000 troops and occupied the three counties of Wudu, Hanyang and Longxi.

Han Sui had 30,000 people and took control of Jincheng County and the southern part of Wuwei County.

In addition to the more remote places of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places, Liangzhou was actually divided between Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Dong Zhuo marched into Luoyang and controlled the imperial court, in order to win over the warlords of Liangzhou and concentrate his forces to deal with the Kwantung princes, he added Ma Teng as the general of Zhengxi and Han Sui as the general of Zhenxi.

The more chaotic the Xiliang is, the more stable Chang'an Sanfu will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

Ma Teng and Han Sui agreed on the resignation, and Dong Zhuoke couldn't sit still.

The ministers of civil and military affairs and the generals of Xiliang expressed their opinions and made suggestions.

In fact, to put it mildly, it is just to provoke it and let Liangzhou continue to be chaotic.

But the problem is that there is no concrete and feasible way to provoke it.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have been fighting for several years, once they strike the army, they have reached an agreement on some aspect, and it is not easy to sow discord again, after all, no one is a fool to become a warlord who divides one side.

As for the military generals, most of them stationed heavy troops in Chencangtun to prevent Ma Teng and Han Sui from entering Kou Sanfu.

Even Lu Bu took the initiative to invite a baby, wanting to lead an army of 30,000 to sweep away Ma Teng and Han Sui and completely pacify Liangzhou.

Dong Zhuo listened for a while, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

Completely pacifying Liangzhou is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do.

In the bitter cold land of Xiliang, the folk customs have been extremely strong since the pre-Qin period, and the Qiang people living in Liangzhou have a huge tolerance for death, and the army under Ma Teng and Han Sui is mostly dominated by Qiang people, and the combined strength of the army has reached 80,000 people.

During the Zhongping period, when the Liangzhou rebels entered Kou Sanfu, Dong Zhuo suffered defeat when he accompanied the Tai Lieutenant Zhang Wen to meet the Xiliang rebels.

Not to mention the 30,000 army, even if Dong Zhuo personally mentioned the 100,000 army, he didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to wipe out the Liangzhou rebellion.

Moreover, now that the Kwantung coalition army has just been repulsed, Luoyang is in ruins, the army is tired after a long battle, and it is in urgent need of rest, so it is impossible to take out the grain and straw for the big expedition, where is there still the spare strength to crusade against Liangzhou.

Lu Bu naturally knew about these situations, but being tied up by Dong Zhuo's side was really not a solution.

First, he was anxious to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo, so he hurriedly took the initiative to invite a baby.

Unexpectedly, before Dong Zhuo could speak, he attracted the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and Xiliang generals, and Niu Fu, Dong Yue and other Xiliang generals were even more sneering, and they almost turned their faces on the spot.

Luo Zheng sat at the bottom of the head, watching the noise in the main hall like a vegetable market, without saying a word.

Situ Wang Yun said: "Prime Minister, the only way to do this is to send a cadre who can speak the Tao to envoy Xiliang, one is Ma Teng and Han Sui Jinjue, and the other is allowed to be appeased with heavy benefits, so that he can sit in Xiliang, so that Chang'an Sanfu can avoid another military disaster." ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and asked, "What does Wen You think?" ”

Li Ru was just about to nod, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had a plan, and said: "My lord, the population of Liangzhou is the smallest in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and it has been in constant war over the years. Therefore, Confucianism thought that Ma Teng and Han Sui disagreed with each other, mainly because of the shortage of grain and grass, and it was unlikely that they would invade the three auxiliary areas of Chang'an. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "What Wen You said is extremely true, what he said is extremely true!" ”

The ministers and the generals of Xiliang also nodded, Li Ru's analysis was indeed to the point.

Li Ru said again: "Since Ma Teng and Han Sui are not capable of attacking Sanfu at all, there is no need for the lord to worry. However, the problem of Liangzhou must be solved after all, why not take this opportunity to rebuild the Qiang's Captain's Mansion, and then condemn the general who can fight well and the governor of the unified army, Xiliangqiang Hu, to contain Ma Teng and Han Sui, so that he can get a few years of respite. ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Wen You's words are very much in line with my intentions, what do you think?" ”

Seeing that he nodded, the ministers of the court and the generals of Xiliang all nodded, so they naturally seconded the proposal.

Dong Zhuo asked again, "I don't know who can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

Li Ru hurriedly gave Niu Fu a look, but Niu Fu looked puzzled and puzzled.
