Chapter 259: The official seal is too guarded
Chun Yuqiong thought that Liu Ze's army was afraid of him, so he was even more arrogant, and sent his lieutenant general to fight, but as soon as he merged, he was stabbed under the horse by Zhao Yun. Then Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came out together, and they broke Chun Yuqiong's defense line with only one charge. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chun Yuqiong left his army and turned around and ran. Zhao Yun and the others followed Liu Ze's orders and did not pursue.
Liu Ze nodded and said with a smile: "Just teach them a lesson, we still have to save a little bit for Yuan Cheqi's face." Wenhe, what do you think? ā
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "The lord's handling is extremely appropriate, after all, although he has torn his face with Yuan Shao, it has not yet reached a state of complete hostility, they dare to come and commit, give them some punishment, don't kill them all." However, Yuan Shao is narrow-minded, and he will definitely think about revenge, Gongxian is not far from Luoyang, and the lord still ordered to move quickly and leave this place of right and wrong. ā
Liu Ze ordered the whole army to speed up the march and leave the tiger prison.
Guo Tu fled back to the camp of the Yuan army in Luoyang, and told how Liu Ze was rude, not only defeating Chun Yuqiong's army, but also abusing Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and said: "The vertical son deceives people too much! When I personally lead the army to destroy this guy! ā
Saying that, Yuan Shao was about to prepare for the pursuit, Bao Xin persuaded bitterly: "Yuan Cheqi is angry, although Liu Duwei does not say goodbye, there are rude numbers, but there is a reason for the incident, if Yuan Cheqi makes a big fight for this, will it not make the relatives and enemies happy, Dong Zhuo will only snicker at it in Guanzhong, and the people of the world will also laugh at my Kwantung Coalition Army." Yuan Che rides, think twice. ā
Yuan Shao thought for a moment. gave up the plan to pursue Liu Ze, but this beam with Liu Ze was concluded.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Dong Zhuo was in a good mood when he heard the news of the collapse of the Kwantung coalition army in Chang'an, and the three most capable Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Ze among the coalition forces all left Luoyang one after another, and the remaining princes were mediocre and not to be afraid. Dong Zhuo has ordered his three henchmen Zhonglang to lead Niu Fu, Dong Yue, and Duan Xuan to lead heavy troops to camp in Anyi, Huayin, and Mianchi respectively, while the rest of the generals are guarding the pass, and the entire pass is already impregnable.
When Li Ru was looking for Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was sleeping with Mei Ji in his arms in the warm pavilion.
"Master Yu. The Plains King is gone. ā
In ancient times, the term for death varied from person to person. The death of the Son of Heaven is called collapse, the death of the princes and kings is called Xue, the death of the doctor is called a pawn, and the death of the scholar is called Bulu. Civilians died. Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, was ordered to enter Beijing to mourn when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died. Originally, after Emperor Ling's funeral, he could return to the Plains Kingdom. But there has been constant chaos in the capital, first He Jin was killed, and then Dong Zhuo took power. Even if Liu Shuo wants to go back to the plains, it will be difficult to make the trip. Dong Zhuo moved west to offer the emperor to Chang'an, the military and civilian officials were within the scope of the forced relocation, the king of the plain, together with many princes and kings who were stranded in the capital, were ordered to move west to Chang'an, all the way, infected with the wind and cold, and died after arriving in Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo got up from the couch, with a big belly full of fat, while Mei Ji on the couch was almost half-naked. Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and confidant, and he never avoids suspicion when he logs into the inner room.
"If you die, you will die, isn't it just a prince and a king, dragged out and buried." Dong Zhuo yawned and said disapprerovingly, although the princes and kings were noble, they were worthless in Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Li Ru's eyes didn't look at Na Meiji, and said: "The king of the plains is gone, it's a trivial matter, but the king of the plains has no heirs, according to the Han law, the plains country should be withdrawn from the national county." ā
"Whatever-" Dong Zhuo seemed to think of something, and said, "The minister of the plain is Liu Ze who killed my favorite general Xu Ronghuaxiong?" The news that Xu Rong was stabbed off his horse in Hangu reached Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo thought that Xu Rong had been killed, but he didn't know that Xu Rong was still alive and well.
"Not bad. The prime minister of the plain country was originally Lin Hai, but for some reason he suddenly returned to his hometown due to illness, and Liu Ze, the governor of the plain country, temporarily took the post of prime minister, and the court has never appointed a new prime minister. ā
"A mere lieutenant dares to be so arrogant? Then send someone to be the plain guard again and suppress this kid's evil spirit. ā
Li Ru stood still and said, "Master, no." ā
Dong Zhuoyi frowned and said, "Could it be that you still want me to make him the Taishou of the Plains?" ā
"Taishi, now this land in the eastern part of the country is no longer a place where the decrees of the court can be exercised, and the princes from all walks of life support their own troops and ignore the decrees of the court. Liu Ze has a heavy army, no matter who the Taishi appoints to be the Taishou of the Plains, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the Plains City. In this way, it is better to be a favor and give him the position of the first Taishou of Plains County. ā
Dong Zhuo looked angry and said, "How can this be reasonable, is it possible that the Taishi is still afraid of that erection?" ā
"Taishi is angry, and he thinks that not only Liu Ze wants to be crowned officials, but Sun Jian and Cao Cao also want to give them official titles."
"What?" Dong Zhuo became even more angry when he heard it, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Ze were the three main battles in the Kwantung Alliance, and they were also the three who hurt him the most, Dong Zhuo wanted to destroy these three people the most, but Li Ru built yƬ to give him three official titles, isn't this a brain in water? "Give them three officials? Master Ben can't wait to chop them up now! ā
Li Ru said impatiently: "Taishi, the recent infighting in the Kwantung Coalition Army, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Liu Ze have left one after another, obviously they and Yuan Shao have turned against each other, if they accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven at this time, it will inevitably make Yuan Shao and others even more hateful, Taishi only pays a few ribbons and a few seals, but it can drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and let the Kwantung Coalition Army kill each other, why not?" ā
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "It's good that you Li Ru came up with such a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, wonderful!" Okay, immediately draft a decree and appoint Liu Ze as the Taishou of the Plains, Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun, and Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou. "Dong Zhuo regarded Emperor Han Xian as nothing, and the decrees of the court came from his mouth.
Li Ru said respectfully: "Taishi Shengming." ā
In addition to Pingyuan County, Dongjun Taishou and Yuzhou Thorn Shi have other people, Dong Zhuo arranged this way, it is clear that Cao Cao and Sun Jian and other princes will compete for territory and official positions, and two Thorn Shi Taishou will come out of one state and county, and they can't fight if they don't want to.
When Liu Ze arrived at Baimadu to prepare to cross the river, the holy decree of the court arrived, but it was Zhang Tame, who was kind to Liu Ze, who issued the decree, but now he is no longer a big farmer and has been reappointed as a councilor.
Hearing that the King of the Plains had died in Chang'an, Liu Ze couldn't help but sigh, to be honest, in the Plains, Liu Ze and the King of the Plains got along very well, and the King of the Plains, who had no quarrel with the world, would die in Chang'an. But what surprised him even more was that Dong Zhuo actually withdrew from the national county and made him the first taishou of Pingyuan County, which was really a bit unexpected.
Jia Xu smiled slightly and asked, "Is this from Li Ru's words?" ā
Zhang Tao was secretly surprised, looked at Jia Xu, who was not good-looking, and said: "Yes, it was Li Ru's suggestion that Dong Zhuo was able to seal Runde as the plain guard." ā
Jia Xu sighed: "Such a poisonous strategy can only come from Li Ru's mouth. ā
Zhang Fei said suspiciously: "Isn't it a good thing that the court is willing to seal the eldest brother to be the Taishou?" ā
Jia Xu said: "This is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, Yuan Shao's chariot general is self-appointed, it can only be a chaotic life, our army has a gap with Yuan Shao, if you accept Dong Zhuo's appointment this time, it will definitely make Yuan Shao jealous, Dong Zhuo's purpose is to merge the princes from all walks of life, and not attack themselves." ā
Zhang Tao said: "Yes, Dong Zhuo not only appointed Runde as the Taishou of the Plains, but also ordered Cao Mengde to be the Taishou of Dongjun, and Sun Wentai to be the Assassin of Yuzhou." ā
Liu Ze nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is a vicious strategy, one official and two terms, if you don't meet each other with swords, how can you be the assassin Shi Taishou, Li Ru can also be regarded as the world's number one poisoner." ā
In history, Jia Xu is called a poisoner, which is quite exaggerated, compared to Li Rulai, Jia Xu can only be dwarfed. Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new one, the dove to kill the emperor, the digging of graves and the theft of tombs, and the confiscation of rich households, these desperate schemes all came from Li Ru's strategy, if he was not the first poisoner in the world, I am afraid that he really did not dare to take it.
"Then we won't follow the order, anyway, the emperor is also under Dong Zhuo's orders, and the officials given by Dong Zhuo are not uncommon!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but say.
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Why not?" Yuan Shao's Bohai Taishou, Han Fu's Jizhou Thorn History, Kong Ling's Yuzhou Thorn History, Liu Dai's Yanzhou Thorn History and Yuan Shu's Later General, which one is not Dong Zhuofeng's? Isn't that one doing it with peace of mind? What's more, in the edict of the court, it is the seal of the Son of Heaven that is stamped, and this plain is too guarded, and the lord deserves to do it. ā
Everyone agrees, anyway, Liu Ze is already at odds with Yuan Shao and others, and what will happen in the future is unknown, so he can only take one step at a time.
Liu Zeluo prepared wine and food to entertain Zhang Tao. After the banquet, Zhang Yunai got up and said goodbye. Liu Ze persuaded: "Dong Zhuo has monopoly power, brutal and unkind, Zhang Gongjiu has been under the account for a long time, I am afraid that he will be harmed, it is better to stay with Kanto and conspire with great things." ā
Zhang Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Zhang's wife is in Chang'an, if she doesn't return, her family will be harmed by Dong Zhuo, and I can't bear it." ā
Liu Ze also sighed helplessly, and said goodbye to Zhang Taming. After sending Zhang Tao away, Liu Ze looked for a boat to prepare to cross the river.
Seeing that the Yellow River is the land of Hebei, and it is getting farther and farther away from his hometown Nanyang, Zhang Ji can't help but get anxious. With his original intention, he was originally going to return to his hometown, but just to learn the method of prolonging his life with blood from Liu Ze, he followed Liu Ze all the way to Baimadu, and saw that he was about to go to Hebei, but Liu Ze didn't say a word, how not to make Zhang Ji anxious.
Liu Ze did it on purpose, the value of Zhang Ji, Liu Ze is clear, if such a talent is missed in vain, it is a big regret in life. It happened that Zhang Ji was very interested in Liu Ze's method of prolonging his life with blood when he saved Xu Rong, so Liu Ze had a plan, deliberately kept it secret, and led Zhang Ji to the plain first.
