Chapter 239: Chaos in Chang'an (5)
Bao Xin's words surprised Xu Ji, who was hiding under the car, because from Bao Xin's words, there was a faint revelation that Cao Cao and Wang Yun had joined forces.
Damn, in fact, I should have thought of this when I saw Bao Xin and Wang Yun so close, because Cao Cao and Wang Yun were originally close, and the seven-star sword that Cao Cao used to assassinate Dong Zhuo after he left early was taken from Wang Yun.
Xu Ji secretly blamed himself, while his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about the cause and effect of this whole thing, and at the same time, above the car, the voice of talking continued to come.
Wang Yun's thick and bright voice, which was rare among literati, sounded in Xu Ji's ears: "Meng De is really a loyal minister of my Han Dynasty. In the past few years, he has really done his best, from assassinating Dong Zhuo's traitor to calling on the Kwantung princes to crusade against the national thief, Meng De has done a lot. If it was a reward for meritorious deeds, Meng De should have been ranked above the court. ”
After a pause: "Bao Xin, you are the same." ”
Bao Xin said a few words modestly.
Wang Yun said again: "In fact, the old man already had a detailed plan to get rid of the traitor as early as last year, but unfortunately it was discovered by someone, so that the plan of the great man was stillborn, which is really annoying." ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, funny in their hearts, Xi Zhicai even pretended to shake his head and sigh a look of great pity for Wang Yun, Xu Ji who watched it, and finally understood why Xi Zhicai was so valued by Guo Jia and even regarded as no less than his confidant. Because Xi Zhicai's extremely optimistic temperament at any time is really easy to infect others, maybe this subtle effect makes anyone have a lot of confidence in him, which is why Xu Ji will agree with Guo Jia's suggestion.
Bao Xin was surprised and hurriedly asked. Wang Yun told the matter again, and Bao Xin frowned when he heard it. It took a long time before he said: "The person who stops the adult's action seems to be inseparable from friend and foe, but I am afraid that he has other intentions." ”
Wang Yun said with a smile: "At first, the old man thought the same thing. But now the old man is very sure that this man is a friend and not an enemy. If this person is a person on Dong Zhuo's side, the old man is afraid that he will already be in a different place at this time, but in the past more than a year, there has been no trouble, but Dong Zhuo's old thief trusts the old man more and more, so the old man often thinks about the reason for this matter, and finally the old man comes up with the reason. ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai are very surprised, it is impossible for Wang Yun to know the real inside story of this matter, and I don't know what truth Wang Yun can come up with.
I only heard Wang Yun say in a deep voice: "The person who stopped me must be warning me that the time has not come." We should not act rashly, because if the plan had been implemented a year ago, the situation would have been uncontrollable. On the one hand, there was a chaotic battle in the Central Plains at that time, and no one could send troops to rescue after hearing the news, on the other hand, the imperial court did not have an army at all, and Dong Zhuo's army was guarding the four directions, once something happened, we had no way to stop the counterattack of these armies. Until then. The old man's death is small, and if he causes the Son of Heaven to suffer, it will be a great crime. ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, but they didn't expect Wang Yun to think of this. However, from Wang Yun's point of view, his opinion is not wrong, and even in a sense, this is indeed the result. And Xu Ji really didn't want to see this situation at that time.
"Therefore," Wang Yun said, "the old man will reformulate the plan." I hope that I can succeed in one fell swoop and make me prosperous. ”
Bao Xin said in a deep voice: "Are you sure now?" ”
Wang Yun nodded and said, "Of course." In fact, we have to thank Xu Ji for this matter. ”
Bao Xin said with a smile: "Of course, if Xu Ji hadn't put forward the idea that the princes of the world would meet the Son of Heaven, Meng De would not have had such a great opportunity to lead these many troops to Chang'an." ”
Xu Ji was shocked: What? Did Cao Cao have a lot of troops with him?
Wang Yun said with a smile: "Meng De has developed well in Guangling in recent years, and the imperial court has also heard of it. By the way, how many people did Meng De bring this time? ”
Bao Xin said hesitantly: "Meng De's army in Guangling has a total of 50,000, and this time he brought a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, of course, after rushing to Chang'an, many troops have been hidden. ”
Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's the best, but will it be too ostentatious?" Don't be discovered by Xu Ji, this person has a great mind, if he finds out, I'm afraid that he will see through our intentions. ”
Bao Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, these troops were broken into pieces, and they rushed to Chang'an through Yuzhou in various capacities, and it was difficult for Xu Ji to find out." And Xu Jiyuan is in Jizhou, where can he know about Lord Lu Dao's scheme? Although the adult's plan was stopped, no one else knew, and Xu Ji had no reason to know even if he had no last resort. Unless the person who stopped the adult was Xu Ji, but unfortunately Xu Ji had no reason to do this at all. At that time, he couldn't cope with Yuan Shao. Where is the time to take care of the affairs of Chang'an. ”
Wang Yun smiled: "It seems that this is the case." ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and they both felt funny in their hearts.
Wang Yun sighed comfortably and said with a smile: "As long as you get rid of Dong Zhuo, Chang'an has a sergeant wizard like Meng De, and you are afraid that Guo Yan will play some tricks?" ”
Xu Ji had now thoroughly understood the agreement between Cao Cao and Wang Yun, which meant that Wang Yun wanted to use Cao Cao to command Chang'an's army in order to resist the possible war after Dong Zhuo's death.
It seems that Wang Yun has really learned smart. actually saw Lu Bu's unreliability. But Wang Yun is only afraid that Cao Cao is also using it, Cao Cao is not Lu Bu, so Wang Yun should know that if Cao Cao occupies Chang'an, he Wang Yun is only afraid that he will not have any power in the future, so Wang Yun should have another way to restrict Cao Cao
However, now it seems that Cao Cao is not sincere to Wang Yun, if the two cooperate with each other, I am afraid that Wang Yun should now know that he is not Lejin, but Xu Ji's secret.
And Bao Xin said at this time: "There is no problem with Meng De's side, but I don't know how sure the adults are this time." ”
Wang Yun snorted coldly and said, "I think it's because Dong Zhuo's old thief is exhausted, so he will give such a good opportunity." In fact, the old man's beauty plan a year ago can still be used now. ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, it seems that everyone is really a hero, and they all see that the best way to get rid of Dong Zhuo is to use a beauty trick. And I didn't expect Wang Yun to embark on this path a year later.
Bao Xin hesitated: "But my lord." Aren't you afraid that the unknown person will stop you again in the dark? ”
Wang Yun said confidently: "Originally, I was afraid of leaking again, but now it doesn't matter." Because the old man's plan has been going on for a long time, but no one has stopped him. ”
Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed. Obviously, he didn't expect Wang Yun to be able to play tricks unconsciously under his nose, and of course he didn't know what to do in his heart.
Xu Ji shook his head at him and asked him not to take it to heart.
Bao Xin was obviously very interested, and asked repeatedly, Wang Yun laughed and said: "A year ago, I found out that Li Ru's kid was very dissatisfied with Zhang Ji's military advisor Jia Xu, thinking that Jia Xu was stealing his limelight, so he began to target Jia Xu, but there was no excuse. The old man was with Dong Zhuoxu at that time. So I was very close to one of Dong's officials, so on one occasion, I pretended to have no intention of mentioning in front of Dong Zhuo that Zhang Ji's wife Zou was very beautiful and the head of Chang'an beauties. Dong Zhuo was very moved when he heard about it. ”
Bao Xin laughed and said: "Dong Zhuo is a demon in the color, and it is very normal to have this kind of result. ”
Wang Yun nodded and said: "That's right, and the old man knows that Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu has a very ambiguous relationship with this Zou family, and there must be an unsavory relationship between the two of them......"
Bao Xin let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "I see." If Dong Zhuo had a relationship with the Zou clan of the water-based Yanghua, then Zhang Xiu would definitely kill Dong Zhuo in a fit of rage, so wouldn't the adult's plan be successful? ”
Wang Yun smiled: "That's right. However, Dong Zhuo is Zhang Ji's boss after all, and it is unreasonable to rape his subordinates' wives and daughters at will, so even if Dong Zhuo is interested in the Zou family, he will only act in secret. Don't let others know the truth. ”
Bao Xin grinned and said, "Of course. ”
Wang Yun smiled and said, "Subsequently, the old man told Li Ru the news. Li Ru felt that this matter could be used to attack Jia Xu. began to publicize it loudly, but as a result, the rumors of the affair between Dong Zhuo and the Zou family spread all over Chang'an, which made Dong Zhuo really embarrassed, although he coveted the Zou family, but he didn't dare to act rashly. ”
Bao Xin sneered twice and said, "Will Dong Zhuo be willing?" ”
Wang Yun said with a smile: "Of course Dong Zhuo will not be reconciled, although Zhang Xiu knows that there is nothing between the Zou family and Dong Zhuo, but because of this rumor, he has nowhere to vent, and in order to avoid suspicion, he went to another place to train troops." If it weren't for the fact that the envoys of the princes from all over the country entered Beijing this time, Zhang Xiu would not have come back! ”
After a pause, he said: "The old man is going to take this opportunity to do it, Zhang Ji and the old man are very close, and the old man and his wife usually have a good relationship with the Zou family, so the old man is ready to ask my wife to choose a day to be a guest in my house, and the old man invites Dong Zhuo to the house to play......"
Bao Xin clapped his hands and said: "This plan is wonderful, as soon as Dong Zhuo sees the Zou family, why don't you immediately become a beast of desire, and then the adult will secretly inform Zhang Xiu, that Zhang Xiu's blood is surging, why don't you kill Dong Zhuo immediately?" ”
Wang Yun nodded and said, "That's right." You must know that Dong Zhuo has been thinking about Zou for a long time, but he has no chance, and now he puts Zou in front of him and lets him eat it, why don't you chew it? Zhang Xiu was even more suffocated, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to send it out. ”
Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai were dumbfounded, although Wang Yun's strategy is average, but this person's understanding of human nature is really incomparable, and it is really not comparable to a hairy boy like them, so it is naturally accurate to calculate people's hearts. This Wang Yun is really right, deliberately adjusting Dong Zhuo's appetite for so long before giving Dong Zhuo a chance, it's no wonder that Dong Zhuo is not fooled, and doing so can avoid other people's suspicion of Wang Yun, because everything is said with the help of Li Ru's mouth, and it really has nothing to do with Wang Yun.
Because of this, with the shrewdness of Xi Zhicai, he did not discover the secret.
Xu Ji couldn't help but be impressed. Unexpectedly, after Wang Yun found out that he was prevented from using Lu Bu, he immediately changed to another person to take advantage of it, and viciously selected Zhang Xiu, the master of Chang'an who was second only to Lu Bu.
However, Xu Ji also figured out one thing, that is, after Wang Yun took control of Chang'an, he would use Zhang Xiu to restrain Cao Cao. It is also a good choice, because Zhang Xiu has Jia Xu under him, and he can definitely deal with Cao Cao.
Bao Xin obviously also thought of this question, and said in a deep voice: "But after doing this, what will the adults do with Zhang Xiu?" ”
Wang Yun said: "The old man has his own opinions. "I won't give any more explanations.
Bao Xin fell silent.
Wang Yun smiled and said, "But after tonight." The old man felt that this matter could be delayed a little longer. ”
Bao Xin asked, "For what?" ”
Wang Yun smiled: "Didn't you notice that there was something wrong between Lu Bu and Cao Ling tonight?" ”
Bao Xin smiled: "I'm sitting in the back, where can I see clearly?" ”
Wang Yun sneered: "Do you know the way?" When Cao Ling was pouring wine for Lu Bu, the little hand stroked Lu Bu lightly. Lu Bu is also a natural pervert. Obviously, I was very moved by that Cao Ling. ”
Bao Xin smiled: "This is normal, that Cao Ling is really a beauty, no wonder Dong Zhuo loves her so much." It's just that I didn't expect it to be a water-based poplar. ”
Wang Yun smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, in my opinion, this Cao Ling is the person sent by Tao Qian to charm Dong Zhuo, and the purpose is of course to use Dong Zhuo and fight against Xu Ji's ambitions for Xuzhou." ”
Xu Ji sighed in his heart: Tao Qian does have this idea, but Cao Ling is not just doing it for Xuzhou, but more for her own better life. And this idea was all given to her by herself, not how powerful Cao Ling really is.
Wang Yun said again: "This Cao Ling obviously sees that Dong Zhuo is getting old now, and he doesn't have much time to live. That's why he went to seduce Lu Bu and seek a way out for himself. Because of this, I think we might as well make use of this Cao Ling. ”
Bao Xin said in a deep voice: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Wang Yun smiled and said: "We can do this, after my wife invites the Zou family to my house, I will pick up Dong Zhuo, let the two meet at my house, and then inform Lu Bu, once Lu Bu knows the news, he will definitely secretly run to see Cao Ling." Then we found a way to make Dong Zhuo know about this matter. Dong Zhuo will definitely be very angry, and even deal with Lu Bu, in this way, there will definitely be a rift between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. That way, we'll be more sure. ”
Xu Ji was amazed when he heard this, the chain plan designed by Wang Yun this time was much more clever than the chain plan in history. Because Wang Yun is now going to rebel against Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu all at once. Dong Zhuo was afraid that he wouldn't be able to die.
Bao Xin said in a deep voice: "But Dong Zhuo has always taken Lu Bu with him when he goes out, so I'm afraid that going to the adult's mansion to meet the Zou family is no exception, right?" ”
Wang Yun shook his head and said, "That's not going to happen." The so-called 'single prostitution and double gambling', Dong Zhuo will definitely not take Lu Bu with him when he does this kind of thing. And Lu Bu won't follow, because he is also looking for an opportunity to have a private meeting with Cao Ling, and follows Dong Zhuo every day, where will there be this opportunity? Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can Lu Bu not know how to grasp the opportunity? ”
Bao Xin let out an "um" and stopped talking.
Xu Ji knew what Bao Xin meant, obviously because Wang Yun was doing this to be wary of him and Cao Cao, so he was dissatisfied.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Xu Ji and Xi Zhi knew that Lu Dao had arrived at the place, and hurriedly prepared to get off.
I only heard Wang Yun say to Bao Xin: "I didn't expect to arrive at the place so soon, it's okay, you must tell Meng De in detail about the old man's words tonight." ”
Immediately, the sound of opening the car door sounded, the two got out of the car, Xu Ji and Xi Zhicai hurriedly opened the dark compartment under the car, and after the guard's eyes were completely focused on the two, they secretly climbed out and slipped away.
When the two returned to Cai Yong's mansion, Chen Zhi and Dian Wei had been waiting for a long time, of course Cai Yong had already gone to sleep, Cai Yan was very elegant to sit in the room and play the guzheng, and the melodious and melodious wonderful sound came from time to time, which was intoxicating.
But Yin Ning was a little restless, and when Xu Ji and Xi Zhi entered the room, Yin Ning immediately stood up in surprise and looked at the man in front of him who was closest to him in his life.
Xu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, after all, she was his wife, and no matter what, she took the risk to accompany her to Chang'an, where could he ignore this friendship?
After a while, under Xu Ji's continuous urging, Yin Ning turned around in three steps and reluctantly left the house, of course she knew that her husband had important things to do.
After Yining left, Xi Zhicai and the other three naturally laughed at Xu Ji, but Xu Ji never cared about any etiquette in private, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a while, after a while, Chen Zhicai asked about what happened just now, and Xi Zhicai hurriedly told Chen Zhi and Dian Wei what the two had heard, and the two were dumbfounded, neither of them expected that things would change like this, and they didn't expect that Wang Yun, who was silent on the surface, would make such a big move.
But it sounds like a good thing. After all, if Xu Ji wants to take away Emperor Han Xian, he needs Chang'an turmoil, so Dong Zhuo must die, plus to prevent various emergencies, Xu Ji's strength in Chang'an is too thin now, but now that this matter is handed over to Wang Yun to do, it will be much easier for him.
Therefore, the people in the house are full of joy, and they feel that they are much more grasped now.
Xu Ji said with a smile: "In this way, our task now is how to get close to the emperor, and then after something happens, we can take the emperor away in the shortest possible time." ”
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "That's right, I'll contact Shi Ah tomorrow and ask him to find a way." ”
Xu Ji said with a smile: "We must seize the opportunity in this matter, after all, we are here to meet the Son of Heaven, which means that we will have the opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven soon, this is definitely an opportunity." It would be ideal if you could get a private meeting. ”
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "Ha, if things develop to the worst and Wang Yun and others master Chang'an, but find that the Son of Heaven is no longer in Chang'an, it will be lively." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and it was really funny to think about it.
Xi Zhicai said: "Also, if Liu Yu dies in the hands of Gongsun Zan now, it will be even more ideal." ”
Xu Ji nodded and said, "Of course, as soon as Liu Yu dies, all Liu Bei's actions in Chang'an will become meaningless." ”
Chen Zhi and Dian Wei didn't know about it, so they hurriedly asked, and Xi Zhicai explained again.
After listening to this, Dian Wei was about to say something, but he heard a quick knock on the door, Dian Wei jumped up and opened the door, but saw a ghost elite enter the house, and hurriedly said: "Tell the lord, Lu Bu is injured!" ”
What the!
The four of them stood up at the same time, surprised and inexplicable: the famous god of war Lu Bu would actually be injured?
For a while, Xu Ji's eyes were full of light. (To be continued......)
