Chapter 125: Daxian Meets Again
The coalition forces to ask for Dong, or the princes to ask for Dong, has proved to be infeasible.
The princes of all walks of life have different hearts, and it can be said that if they are willing to let the Son of Heaven regain control of the government and support the Han Dynasty again, I am afraid that there are only one or two people in the world today.
Even Liu Yan and Liu Biao, who are also relatives of the Han family, are unwilling.
That is, a good man like Liu Yu may be willing to return to the Son of Heaven.
It's a pity that a person with Liu Yu's personality can govern a state, and it is simply impossible to lead the army to welcome back the Son of Heaven.
In such a situation, if there is any alliance of princes, I am afraid it will really become a joke, so when he thinks of this, Wei Tao's face is also a little strange.
"It's a coalition to ask for Dong, but it's just a union between the general and my lord."
Cheng Yu obviously came prepared, and immediately talked eloquently.
"Whether it is the general or the head of my family, they are all outstanding people for a while, and they are determined to help the Han Society, which is very different from others. In the past, the general and my family were still weak in their initiative, so it was naturally impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo. But now that the general is based on Hanoi and annexed to the state, and the lord of my family occupies Yanzhou, under the joint efforts of the two, Dong Zhuo will be able to break Dong Zhuo and return the Son of Heaven. β
"Dong Zhuo's strength is not weak."
Wei Tao frowned slightly, but he was noncommittal to Cheng Yu's words.
"What's more, now that I haven't just established myself in Hanoi, my strength is far less than Dong Zhuo's, and I'm afraid Meng De's proposal will not be able to respond for a while."
"So that the general will know that my lord is already contacting the princes of the court, and once there is a move, he will immediately get a response from the princes of the court. The inside should be under the outside. It must be able to rescue the Son of Heaven from Dong Zhuo's thieves. β
Cheng Yu said with a smile again.
"If you are the power of the general and my lord. When there is 80% certainty. β
"Let me think about it."
Wei Tao vaguely guessed why Cao Cao made this move, I am afraid that Wang Yun has already made a divisive plan between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu again, if there is no Dong Zhuo, how can Lu Bu suppress the generals of Liangzhou alone?
Maybe Wang Yunhui naively thinks that with the prestige of the Son of Heaven, those people have no reason to disagree, but Cao Cao himself will not be so naΓ―ve, after learning these news, he is ready to accept the Son of Heaven.
"So waiting for the general's good news."
After that, Cheng Yu presented congratulatory gifts according to the number of courtesies. Then he lingered for a few days, persuaded Wei Tao for a while, and left.
This kind of thing is a big thing, Wei Tao can't make a decision for a while, and in Cheng Yu's opinion, it should be.
What's more, although Cao Cao is already discussing this matter internally, there is no need to launch it immediately, Dong Zhuo is still in one day, the strength of the Xiliang army cannot be underestimated, and Cao Cao cannot act rashly.
I have to say that although Cheng Yu has not been here for a long time, the trouble for Wei Tao is not small. After thinking about it for a while, Wei Tao didn't understand it at all. It's hard to decide.
"It would be good if Gong Jin was here, but unfortunately, Gong Jin is still stationed in Changshan, and he lacks skills......
Wei Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, such a big event, but it can't be talked about by letter, first, it's too slow, and second, it's not safe.
"It seems that there is still too little civil and military force around me now. In this way, I am afraid that the only way to do this is to promulgate the recruitment hall like Brother Meng De did, and see if any talents can be recruited. β
As for the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven, Wei Tao also has his own thoughts in his heart.
In fact, the setting up of the recruitment hall is not that difficult, in short, it is just to vacate a room for visitors.
Wei Tao's establishment of the Recruitment Hall is actually just an idle move, and what Wei Tao is thinking about now is whether he can recruit those who are famous to future generations into his hands in advance.
It's a pity, I thought so, but Wei Tao soon found that he couldn't do it.
Not to mention the origins of those celebrities, in fact, Wei Tao doesn't remember a lot, and it's not easy to find people in a big city alone.
What's more, even if you find someone, how can you convince people?
After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Tao never had a clue.
What Wei Tao didn't expect was that after only three days of opening, there was a great sage to vote.
"Xun You, Xun Gongda? How did this one arrive? β
Even Wei Tao was shocked.
Xun You was supposed to be the mastermind of Cao Cao in general with Cheng Yu, who acted carefully and was full of scheming, and was the top strategist.
Is such a talent really going to come to himself?
If not, why did Xun You appear in the Recruitment Hall?
Shocked and uncertain, Wei Tao also rushed to the newly established recruitment hall.
When I entered the house, I saw a young man in the room, with a beautiful face, but the most memorable thing was the pair of bright eyes, as if he could see through his heart at a glance.
"Dare to ask if it's Xun You, Xun Gong Dahu?"
Wei Tao was already sure that this person was Xun You, and he immediately saluted respectfully.
"In Xia Wei Ziyu, I have seen Mr. Gongda."
"Gongda is only a white body now, how can he be worthy of such a great gift from Lord Taishou?"
Seeing Wei Tao saluting and bowing to himself, even Xun You was slightly surprised, and hurriedly returned the salute and said.
"Xun's Eight Dragons are famous all over the world, and I can see Mr. Xun Yu and listen to Mr. Yu's teachings, when it is Ziyu's luck, now that Mr. is here, please give Mr. advice and give Wei a pointer."
This is to raise Xun You very high, and this kind of courtesy is basically preparing to make Xun You his confidant.
Even if Xun Yu asks himself to be extraordinary, he can have a place wherever he goes, but he is also a little moved by this courtesy.
"The general doesn't have to be like this, Xun is here, and he is naturally willing to share his worries for the general."
"That being the case, please."
After all, the Zhaoxian Pavilion is newly established, everything is simple, not a place for hospitality, Wei Tao invited it to the mansion to talk.
"Not long ago, Cheng Zhongde came to say that Mr. Xun Yu is now under the account of my brother Mengde. Although I don't want to admit it, my brother is not only extraordinary, but now his career is several points better than mine, why don't Gongda go to me? β
After sitting down. Wei Tao couldn't help but ask curiously.
It's not that Wei Tao suspects anything. Even if you want to ambush the spy. There is absolutely no reason to let a great talent like Xun You do such a thing.
Wei Tao was really curious why Xun You actually changed his mind to defect to Cao Cao, and instead came to join him.
"Huh...... The general doesn't know that my Xun family has been a family of poetry and books for generations, so it is called the Xun Eight Dragons. However, there are also different philosophies within my Xun clan. Wen Ruo is my uncle, and his ambition is to support the Han family and make the Han strong again. β
Xun Yu said very easily, but although Xun Yu's generation is Xun Yu's uncle. But in fact, he is still a few years younger than Xun You, so it is not strange that Xun You calls him directly.
The concept of Yu is also similar to that of Wen Ruo. Now the Han family is shaking, just like a dangerous building, if you don't protect it carefully, you may be in danger of toppling, but if you have the assistance of a capable minister, you can help the building to fall again. However, it is different, although the big man is in danger, he is in danger but does not fall. It is necessary to be able to prosper with the assistance of ministers, but external bandits should not be neglected. If he takes advantage of the void to enter, it will subvert my big man in one fell swoop. I heard that the general's ambition was to sweep away the aliens, so he came to help the general. β
Hearing Xun You's words, Wei Tao understood.
To be precise, Xun Yu should advocate that the outside must first be at ease, the first to be strong and prosperous, and then to consider the matter of sweeping away the alien race.
Xun You was thinking that if the Han might be invaded by a foreign race during the civil strife, he should first sweep away the threat of the foreign race, and then Kuang Fu to save the Han.
Whether it is Xun Yu or Xun Yu, the ultimate goal is to help the Han, but the path, method, and ideas are different.
If it turned out that Cao Cao was eloquent and strategic, Xun Yu and Xun You, after seeing the princes of the world, thought that Cao Cao was the best candidate for Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, and would naturally choose Cao Cao.
However, now Wei Tao's talent is not bad, and his ambition is closer to Xun You, Xun You turned to Wei Tao.
In fact, this is also the way of survival of the family, so that all the outstanding clansmen under their own family serve the princes of each way, and in the end, no matter which way the princes win, they can ensure the prosperity of the family.
Xun You's move inevitably does not mean this.
But in any case, Xun You's coming to invest is an extremely important thing for Wei Tao, which means that he has also entered the eyes of the family.
"I also know Mr.'s talent, and I still have to ask Mr. for all matters in the future."
Wei Tao arched his hand again and said with a smile, after these words, Wei Tao's face was solemn, and then he asked all the people serving on both sides to retreat.
"Now I have a difficult matter to decide, and now that Mr. has arrived, I ask Mr. to do it for me."
"No, please say so, General."
The relationship between the subordinates has been made clear, and now that he sees Wei Tao wanting to talk about business, Xun You is also sitting in danger.
"Before Cheng Zhongde came, he said that Cao Mengde wanted to join forces with me to enter Luoyang again to welcome back the Son of Heaven, but now Cao Mengde has to contact the hundred officials of Chang'an, once he acts, he can welcome the Son of Heaven back under the combination of the inside and the outside."
Wei Tao told all the things that Cheng Yu said after his arrival.
"Someone wants to separate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo is dying! β
After listening to what Wei Tao said, Xun Yu blurted out after a little thought.
"Sir is indeed a wise man, and so do I. That Lu Fengxian is brave and brave, and he is the most arrogant. Although Dong Zhuo accepted him as his adopted son, he used him like a house slave. It's just for a while, and if you do it for a long time, how can you convince a tiger and wolf general like Lu Fengxian? β
Wei Tao also responded with a smile, but he also admired Xun You, and he really deserved to be a top strategist.
"What's more important is that Dong Zhuo also made Lu Fengxian as a guard, if he is separated, Dong Zhuo will die at the hands of Lu Fengxian."
"The general is really talented, that's exactly what happened."
Xun You also smiled, and recognized Wei Tao a little more.
"But the general is going to ask what to do? I don't know if the general can imagine that he can control the Son of Heaven like Dong Zhuo, through the order of the Son of Heaven? β
"Hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes?"
Wei Tao was slightly shocked, and couldn't help but blurt out.
"It's the Son of Heaven to please the minister."
Xun You's face was as calm as water, making people not know what his mind was.
Whether it is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or to serve the Son of Heaven to beg for ministers, it is actually no longer the work of human ministers, Wei Tao doesn't know why Xun Yu asked so.
But hearing this, Wei Tao just shook his head after thinking about it.
"My ambition is to sweep away the danger of foreign races to my Han Dynasty, and it is my duty to welcome back Your Majesty. As for those who are not human subjects. But no. β
Wei Tao still remembers. Although Cao Cao won the coercion of the Son of Heaven to benefit the princes, he also attracted the attention of the world's heroes, and used this to recruit people, and he didn't know whether the people who came to meet him later would throw themselves or the Son of Heaven.
What's more, now Wei Tao feels that his strength is still weak, and he doesn't want to be like this.
Of course, it is impossible for Xun You to be so outspoken, not to mention that this is indeed his ambition.
"You, meet your lord."
But what surprised Wei Tao was that after getting Wei Tao's answer. Xun You got up slowly, and then bowed respectfully to Wei Tao.
Xun You recognized Wei Tao as the main father.
Fang Cai's words are true, and they are also temptations, Wei Tao's answer is in line with Xun You's belief that the Ming Lord is so, so Xun You is like this.
"Mr. Xun You, please hurry up, there are still a lot of affairs in the future that depend on Mr."
Seeing Wei Tao like this, Xun You didn't make much of it, got up, and then bowed his hand to Wei Tao and said slowly.
"My lord. No matter what Cao Mengde thinks, I think it should be possible to help His Majesty this time. If you can save Your Majesty from the tiger's mouth. With this merit, he should be crowned and annexed to the state pastor, and he should rule the state with great righteousness. Then it is possible to rectify the soldiers and horses, first remove the Montenegrin army that was transformed by the Yellow Turban, and then go south to get the land of Jizhou, and go north to take the place of Youzhou, once the three states of Youzhou, You, and Hebei are in hand, they can be connected into a line, and the army of all roads will go north, whether it is the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, or Qiang and many other foreign races, it will be invincible. β
Xun Yu's words are very similar to Zhou Yu's strategy for Wei Tao, which is to occupy and annex the state first, then expand Jizhou, and finally either go south to the Central Plains to fight, or go north to expel foreign races.
In order to have Xun You's refuge, Wei Tao gradually recruited some talents.
Although many of them have never been heard of by Wei Tao, through Wei Tao's personal conversation, he can still confirm that he is indeed talented.
In this way, in just half a year, the entire Hanoi is completely in the hands of Wei Tao, and Zhou Yu is also in the hands of Zhou Yu, although there are also people who want to be Changshan Taishou, but with Zhou Yu here, Changshan is always in his hands.
Whether it is Xun You or Zhou Yu, they are worthy of being top strategists, they can govern both the army and the government, and they can get the help of the two, Wei Tao feels extremely lucky when he thinks about it.
Some people are lucky, that is, some people are unlucky, in fact, at this time, Wei Tao and Cao Cao are talking about each other, and Chang'an is a storm.
Wang Yun is now an official to Situ, because Wang Yun came to meet on his own, and he is also famous, so he is naturally reused by Dong Zhuo.
This reuse is to reuse Wang Yun to contain other courtiers.
I have to say that Wang Yun is indeed capable, and through the change of position, I don't know how many courtiers he has wooed, and even let Dong Zhuo gradually rely on him and alienate Li Ru.
However, Wang Yun's purpose is not for these, Wang Yun's purpose is for the Han family, in order to return to the Han Emperor.
So Wang Yun set his sights on Lu Bu.
Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, and he has a hand in commanding the army, but he is greedy, and he is a bit reckless.
Although there is no Diao Chan who is a man who has fallen for the country and the city and sacrificed his life, it is not difficult to find a beautiful singer as Wang Yun, but for these singers, Wang Yun does not dare to express his trust.
But Wang Yun also has Wang Yun's methods.
Several times, Wang Yun gave it to Lu Bu in an explicit word, but the result was often Dong Zhuojie's first chance and took away these beauties.
If one doesn't work, it's two, it's also a beauty trick, although it can't charm Lu Bu's heart, but it can also make Lu Bu dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu is such an arrogant person, after the beauty he fancied was taken away by Dong Zhuo, he was naturally very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, and this time was the time for Wang Yun to take the opportunity to speak.
"The general is unparalleled in the world, and now he is under Dong Zhuo, named Yizi, who is actually a domestic slave, even if he is an old minister, he is ashamed of it. If the general is like this, how can he be trapped by an old thief? Now His Majesty is imprisoned by Dong Thief, if the general saves him, His Majesty will be regained! β
I have to say that Wang Yun really said what Lu Bu was thinking.
Fame and fortune can be Lu Bu's pursuit, coupled with his growing dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo, so Lu Bu finally made a decision to kill Dong Zhuo in order to succeed.
Dong Zhuo was to use Lu Bu as a guard, and under some careful arrangement, Dong Zhuo was easily killed by Lu Bu.
Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will not let go of the people who followed Dong Zhuo before, and immediately ordered people to capture him.
And that Li Ru, who was originally valued by Dong Zhuo, was also among them.
Ordered, no one else did it, it turned out that Li Ru's subordinates tied Li Ru and sent him to Wang Yun, only to see Li Ru's head covered in blood, obviously he also suffered a lot on the way here.
"My lord, this guy Li Ru is a celebrity next to Dong Thief, and he is very mean to us subordinates on weekdays, even if he is a little bit of his clan, he is also scolded if he is a little unsatisfactory on weekdays. Now that the adults have eliminated the thieves, we are willing to do a contribution to the adults. β
It was Li Zhong, a Confucian official who spoke, and said to Wang Yun with a flattering smile.
"What are these people staying for, just kill them!"
Wang Yun's personality is also cold, he didn't even look at Li Ru, he just gave an order, and naturally there were strong men to take people down and kill them.
Lu Bu turned a blind eye to Wang Yun's actions, because Wang Yun had fulfilled his promise, and now Lu Bu not only had a deeper official position, but also after killing Dong Zhuo, all the goods and maids confiscated from Dong Zhuo's mansion belonged to Lu Bu.
Naturally, Lu Bu had no interest in other things.
However, both Wang Yun and Lu Bu underestimated the consequences of such a large-scale hunt and killing of Dong Zhuo's remaining party, although Dong Zhuo died, but Dong Zhuo's generals were still there, leading a large number of Xiliang arrogant soldiers.
Such a kill immediately forced those fierce generals to a dead end, and they were naturally ready to fight to the death.
It's a pity that Wang Yun at this time is immersed in the dream of killing Dong Zhuo, and in the future, he can help the Han family. (To be continued......)
