Chapter 10 Signals
Dong Zhuo feels that he still has some talents under him today, for example, this pot shou is very clever and can be made. In the matter of rewarding Dong Shouye, Hushou's performance is remarkable.
Now that the matter of worshiping Dong Shouye as the general and holding the festival has basically been decided, Dong Zhuo and the third duke have also reached an agreement surprisingly, and there is no opposition from the DPRK and China.
As the leading figure in charge of the affairs of the DPRK and China, Situ Wang Yunlai was responsible for the drafting of various documents on this matter, as well as the issuance of various obituaries and edicts, which were distributed throughout the country.
Although the majesty of the imperial court has declined, the imperial court is still the most majestic place in the world at present, even some princes with different aspirations also recognize the edicts of the imperial court, and even the powerful princes such as Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan have begun to give up the confrontation with the imperial court and cooperate with the imperial court.
Not long ago, Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Chang'an City and brought some gifts to the Son of Heaven and our Dong Taishi. For Yuan Shu's move to go on the road, Dong Zhuo also reciprocated the favor, and it was to show the little emperor Liu Xie that Yuan Shu was the Taishou of Nanyang.
At this time, after Yuan Shu, the general led Nanyang Taishou, which further consolidated its position in Nanyang, Liu Biao expressed a solemn protest against this, and also began to pay tribute to the imperial court.
Dong Zhuo also informed the whole army of the Xiliang Army the news of Dong Shouye's reward. As soon as the people in the Xiliang Army saw it, they immediately understood that the signal released by Dong Zhuo at this time was to clearly tell the Xiliang Army that Dong Shouye's status as the legitimate heir of the Xiliang Army was officially established.
This also made many people in the Xiliang Army breathe a sigh of relief, whether a force is stable or not has a lot to do with whether it has an heir, and the future of a force without a successor is worrying. The Xiliang Army is generally a relatively exclusive force, so it is very resistant to the statement that Lu Bu will take over the Xiliang Army, but Dong Zhuo said before that he intended to let Lu Bu take charge of the Xiliang Army, of course, that was when Lu Bu was just recruited, and even so, there were still many people in the Xiliang Army who opposed it.
Now it's okay, Dong Zhuo's son Dong Shouye has been clearly determined as the heir, everyone is satisfied, and no one objects. In this era, Lao Tzu is a hero, and it is natural for a son to inherit his father's business, and no one can find any fault.
The Xiliang Army is not the army of the imperial court, but the private army of Dong Zhuo himself, although there are also troops of the imperial court, but its core part is Dong Zhuo's private army. People like Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others are all Dong Zhuo's generals.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Dong Shouye holds the festival, and there are currently two people in the Xiliang Army who hold the festival. One is Dong Zhuo's fake festival, and the other is Dong Shouye's festival. This point determines Dong Shouye's current position in the Xiliang Army.
Dong Zhuo is the commander of the Western Liang Army, the number one person; Dong Shouye is the heir of the Xiliang Army and the second person.
At this time, Dong Shouye's military position is not the second in the Xiliang Army, the second should be Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Shouye's third uncle Dong Min, his military position is General Zuo, not a little higher than Dong Shouye's broken general, and the difference between the two is three levels in rank. However, Dong Min does not have the right to control the army, so his real status is not as good as the current Dong Shouye.
Now that the Xiliang army is under Dong Shouye's control, as long as he is with Dong Shouye, he has to obey Dong Shouye's orders.
This situation is what Li Ru is happy to see, and in his conception, he wants Dong Shouye to grow up as much as possible, so that he can take charge of the Xiliang Army as soon as possible. He seems to be a little impatient to send Dong Shouye to the battlefield, so that he can grow up as soon as possible, although his approach is a bit of a seedling, but on the whole the effect is not bad, Dong Shouye has withstood the test of blood and fire on the battlefield, grew rapidly, and now has become a general who can take charge of himself, and now he has officially entered the core leadership of the Xiliang Army.
Li Ru designed such a future road for the Xiliang Army, and the Dong father and son were one inside and one outside. Dong Zhuo is inside, Dong Shouye is outside. Dong Zhuo presided over the government with Li Ru in the court, stabilized the political situation, and at the same time resumed production and accumulated strength; Dong Shouye led his troops outside, conquered the unsubordinate, expanded the territory, and constantly expanded the actual control area of the Xiliang army, and finally seized the world, deposed the Han Emperor, and re-established a new dynasty.
To say that Li Ru is worthy of being a first-class strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, his strategy is earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods. This strategy was undoubtedly feasible, and some people did it, and in the end they succeeded in establishing a new dynasty that will go down in history.
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan did this, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty died in Jiangdu, and then the world was in chaos. Li Yuan took advantage of the situation to raise troops in Taiyuan, and then crossed the Yellow River to capture Guanzhong, after occupying Guanzhong, he supported a puppet emperor, and then gained a foothold in Guanzhong, and then called the emperor, and then sent his son Li Shimin to lead the troops to fight, attack the Quartet, and finally establish the immortal foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ruzhen is a god and a man, and this strategy is more than 400 years earlier than Li Yuan.
Some people are called a generation of geniuses, the reason is that this kind of people often think about things that others dare not think, when the world's heroes are still thinking about the inheritance of the imperial court, Li Ru has looked further, he is not thinking about inheriting the poor inheritance of the Han family, but using these inheritances to open up an unprecedented career.
This is a madman, even crazier than Dong Zhuo. It's just that this kind of madness is so restrained, and Dong Zhuo's madness is so public.
Afterwards, Dong Zhuo called Hu Shou to his side and said: "Today's matter, Hu Yilang handled it properly, improvised and adapted, and he was really capable!" ”
Hushou was very happy when he saw Dong Zhuo praising himself, and hurriedly said modestly: "The master is praised, and the officials are ashamed." This qiē is thanks to the cultivation of the Taishi and the resounding exploits of the Shouye Gongzi. Xiaguan is just icing on the cake! ”
Dong Zhuo laughed, patted Hu Shou's shoulder, and said, "Well, do a good job, don't disappoint this master!" Hushou hurriedly patted his chest and expressed his determination.
Dong Shouye also expressed his gratitude to Hushou in a timely manner, this time the harvest is so big, Hushou's credit is indeed not small, originally the bottom line set by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru is to break the general, and it is just a fake festival. I didn't want it, Hushou was in one of them, and the fake festival became a holding festival.
Later, Dong Shouye heard that Hushou was born in a poor family, and he had been a small official, with little development, and later after meeting Dong Zhuo, his career took a turn for the better, and he went from a county official to a county Taishou in Liangzhou. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he invited Hushou to come to Luoyang to work, and he has been by Dong Zhuo's side since then. His current official position is relatively high, and he is just a speaker, which is also Dong Zhuo's deliberate action.
Although the official position of Yilang is small, he can participate in the court meeting, so that he can serve as Dong Zhuo's mouthpiece in the court, and when there are some things that Dong Zhuo is inconvenient to speak, he can let Hu Shou open his eyes.
