Chapter 24: To Kill or Not to Kill

After a while, Dong Shouye asked Li Dao again: "Childish, what is the situation with General Yin Zhujun of Henan in Luoyang City now. ”

Li Wei replied: "Back to Gongzi, I have been here for a few days, and the spies have been either going south to hear the news of Gongzi, or to the north to listen to Wang Kuang's news, as for Luoyang City, there are no spies, please punish Gongzi." ”

Dong Shouye still didn't give up, and asked again: "Isn't there any news at all?" ”

Li Wei thought for a while and said: "It's not nothing, the last general once reported in detail that he heard that Zhu Jun seemed to have clashed with General Xu Rong some time ago, and the two sides almost met each other, and the men and horses of the two sides confronted each other for a while. It stands to reason that General Xu Rong is old and serious, acting steadily, not like a person who likes to cause trouble, but he didn't expect to look at each other unpleasantly with Zhu Jun, and he has been targeting each other. ”

As soon as Dong Shouye heard that Xu Rong and Zhu Jun had a conflict, he secretly said that his previous guess was true, this Zhu Jun really didn't keep to himself, it seemed that he had some contact with the Kwantung princes, and this matter couldn't be wrong.

Zhang Ji saw Dong Shouye bowing his head and pondering, so he opened his mouth and said: "Son, this Zhu Jun is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, and he was originally sitting in Luoyang, which can deter all the young people. However, this person has always disagreed with the prime minister's political views, and although he is loyal to the Han family, I am afraid that he has many contacts with the princes of Kwantung. Childe, you should be wary of this person. ”

Dong Shouye raised his eyebrows, and said with a straight face: "What De Rong said is good, it seems that this person may indeed have some contact with the princes of Kwantung, compared to General Xu, who is loyal and brave, he will definitely not be untargeted." This time, Sun Jian raised troops in Luyang, and Yuan Shu strongly supported him among the southern princes, presumably Sun Jian was also about to go north to attack our army in the near future. Sun Jian and Zhu Jun are both from Jiangdong, and during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhu Jun played Sun Jian as his assistant army Sima and promoted him more, so Sun Jian emerged in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and became famous all over the world. It can be seen that the two have a great relationship and have a friendship with the township party. The reason why Sun Jian dared to rebel this time was to attack Luoyang and invade the emperor. However, it is not a big deal for a Sun Jian, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. I am afraid that Sun Jian will secretly contact Zhu Jun in Luoyang City, and when Zhu Jun leads his troops to respond to Sun Jian in Luoyang, our army will suffer from internal and external attacks, and the enemy will be attacked on the back and abdomen, so it will be in danger. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Ji said: "If this matter is true, Gongzi, I might as well lead the army to surround Luoyang, and first relieve Zhu Jun of his military power and relieve his worries." Gongzi should quickly contact General Xu of the Yan Division, and as for General Lu, he can also lead his troops to echo us and exert pressure on Zhu Jun in Luoyang City. After the siege, Gongzi sent people into Luoyang City again, took out the edict of the Son of Heaven, and directly relieved Zhu Jun of his military power. Now I also ask the prince to immediately arrange for Pegasus to rush to Chang'an, and ask the prime minister to help ask the Son of Heaven for an edict. ”

Dong Shouye: "The current situation is all speculation by us out of thin air, there is no actual evidence, if you act rashly, it is difficult to block the mouth of the world." Besides, if Zhu Jun'an kept to himself and did not secretly collude with Sun Jian, then wouldn't our actions become a cruelty to Zhongliang, so how will the people of the world view us. ”

Du Yi immediately stood up and persuaded: "Childe, now the situation is critical, the so-called 'outside must first be safe', if the internal tumor is not removed, how can we talk about destroying the enemy externally." If you continue to make decisions, you will suffer from them, Childe, please make a decision immediately. If the prince has any scruples, he may as well be imprisoned at that time and take the military power in his hands first. Let's eat and drink well first, don't harm his life, even if Zhu Jun has been wronged, after the war is over in the future, he can also compensate for it. ”

Dong Shouye calculated in his heart for a while, stood up, and said loudly: "Since this is the case, this son will make up his mind to solve Zhu Jun's problem immediately." The generals listened to the order and immediately went down and prepared, ready to fight at any time. However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and in order not to wronged the loyal ministers, our army immediately went to Yanshi to meet General Xu Rong, and after understanding and ascertaining the situation, they surrounded Luoyang and gave Zhu Jun the military power. ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Obey!" ”

Dong Shouye said: "Everyone go back and prepare, Li Dao, Zhang Ji, Du Ji, and Yang Feng stay, and my son has other arrangements." ”

The four of them stayed as ordered.

Dong Shouye looked at the four of them, and then said, "De Rong, how sure are you about the secret collusion between General Zhu Jun and Sun Jian?" ”

Zhang Ji replied: "According to the last general, there is a chance that this matter will be nine times out of ten, and the last general will be at least seventy percent sure, if the son is afraid of wronging a good person, then send more detailed work to investigate secretly." Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Zhu Jun has no connection with Sun Jian, there must be a connection with the Kwantung princes. Besides, this person is at odds with the prime minister, if he rebels at a critical moment, then our army will have a big deal, so Yu Gong or private this person can't stay in Luoyang, it's best to imprison this person, or ......" While saying, he posed with a knife to wipe his neck, implying that Dong Shouye killed Zhu Jun. ”

To say that at this time, let Dong Shouye kill Zhu Jun, it is really a bit unbearable, after all, this person is a generation of famous generals, a pillar of the Han Dynasty. So he waved his hand and said: "This person has a great merit to the Han, it is a pity to kill him, if he arrives in Luoyang, he will be locked up first, and as for the murder, don't mention it again." As for this person, if he really falls into the hands of this son, he may have unexpected uses. ”

Seeing this, Zhang didn't say anything, nodded and signaled that he knew.

After Dong Shouye saw that Zhang Ji had no opinion on this side, he said to Li Dao again: "Zhiran, you immediately send your henchmen to Yanshi to contact General Xu Rong and let him prepare." ”

Li Dao immediately clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Obey the order, and the last general will arrange it immediately." With that, he turned around and took great steps to leave.

Dong Shouye said: "Don't worry, it's not too late to make arrangements after the discussion." Li Dao nodded yes and returned to the chamber.

Dong Shouye said to Du Ji again: "Bohou, please send a letter to General Dong Yue in the name of this son, thank him for his support to our army in the matter of grain and grass. In addition, my son has another secret letter, which needs to be presented to General Dong Yue, and this matter is also bothered to be handled by Bohou. After speaking, he took out a letter from his body and handed it to Du Ji.

Du Yi took the letter and said, "Childe, the last general will do it immediately." ”

At this time, Dian Wei, who was standing behind Dong Shouye to protect him, had not spoken for a long time, and said at this time: "Childe, then General Dong turned around for our army and helped transport some grain and grass baggage, isn't it his duty, why bother to write a letter to him to thank him, wouldn't it fall into the prestige of Gongzi?" ”
