Chapter 201: Deposed Official
Loyal?
This is a very noble phrase.
Maybe Dong Cheng is indeed the last Han Emperor Liu Xie, but he is a person after all, not a god and Buddha who does not eat fireworks in the world, so it is inevitable that there will be selfish thoughts. The general of the chariot cavalry, only below the great general, can be said to be the highest military position in the court. But the problem is that Dong Cheng does not have enough prestige and qualifications, and the reason why he is a general is because his aunt, Empress Dowager Dong, is the mother of Emperor Ling.
In addition, his daughter married the Han Emperor, and the two emperors were noble, so he let him sit in the seat of the general of the chariot.
It's just that he doesn't have much power as a general, and there is still a great general, Yuan Shao, who can command the princes of the world; There is also Cao Cao who ordered the princes to serve the Son of Heaven, so that in the hands of Dong Cheng, the root has no strength. And today's son is entrusted with the national ancestry, which is the best opportunity for Dong Cheng. If he succeeds in the edict against Cao, he will be the minister of the Han Dynasty, and it will not be a difficult task for the government and the opposition to be in power at that time.
Therefore, Dong Cheng didn't want to find Liu Chuang.
Ma Teng sits in Xiliang, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, which is enough!
But if Liu Chuang is brought in, don't look at Liu Chuang's age, but with his identity as the son of the Marquis of Zhongling, the uncle of the Han Emperor, and the elite soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom, he is not inferior to Dong Cheng in terms of strength or status. When the time comes, it is another matter who will master and who will follow.
Dong Cheng didn't want to find someone who could suppress him, and Liu Chuang was exactly the one who could suppress him.
This is also the reason why Dong Cheng has not contacted Liu Chuang.
It's just that after the series was proposed, Dong Cheng couldn't say this carefully, so that he looked embarrassed and muttered for a long time.
"Uncle Guo, Uncle Liu Huang is brave and more loyal to His Majesty.
This time Xu Tian fought the siege, if it weren't for the emperor's uncle to kill Xiong Liwei. I'm afraid that His Majesty's face will be even more ugly. I look at Uncle Huang, not Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao has a lot of intentions to woo him, judging from his actions, he is Cao Cao's most important opponent at present. Maybe Uncle Guo is worried that Uncle Huang is trapped in Xudu, but after all, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beihai, and he is really the best ally for us. ”
Speaking of which, even if he is partial to the general's Wang Fu, Wu Shuo is Dong Cheng's person. I have to agree with it.
And the situation of Zhaoxin General Wu Zi is not the same as that of Wang Fu Wu Shuo.
In the first year of Xingping, Wu Zi was the Taishou of Jiyin.
In the spring of the second year of Xingping, that is, in 195 AD, Cao Cao attacked Dingtao. Wu Zi led the crowd to protect the southern city, making Cao Cao retreat in the face of difficulties. After the Han Emperor returned to the east, Cao Cao ordered the princes to be the Son of Heaven, and Wu Zicai returned to Cao Cao, except for Jiyin Taishou, and worshiped General Zhaoxin.
He said in a deep voice: "What the official register says is very true, if there is Uncle Liu Huang to help in this matter. You will be able to do more with less. ”
Liu Chuang's loyalty, there is no need to say too much.
At least from the current situation, he is 100% loyal to the Han Emperor.
This point, even Dong Cheng. There is no denying it either.
"Shoucheng, what do you think?"
Ma Teng took a sip of wine, and after a moment of silence, he said: "A hero who has lived in Xiliang for a long time is a hero in the Central Plains. Little is known. is the father of the emperor's uncle, the Marquis of Zhongling, and I don't know much. But come to Xudu. But I often hear people mention this person, saying that he is not inferior to the ability of the tiger.
Lu Bu's bravery, but a certain knows.
A few days ago, Uncle Liu Huang killed bears in the paddock, which is indeed amazing.
If the public invites him to join, there is no objection. It's just that Uncle Liu Huang is now trapped in Xu Du, if he can't escape, it will be difficult to help him after all. ”
Dong Cheng frowned, "The meaning of longevity ......"
Ma Teng said softly: "If Uncle Liu Huang can escape a lot, a certain is in Xiliang, and he is in the east, he can echo with the princes from afar, then great things can be expected." ”
Speaking of this, Ma Teng suddenly paused, got up and glanced at Dong Cheng and the four of them, and said, "So, if you want to succeed, you need Uncle Liu Huang to help." If you want Uncle Liu to help, you must first make him leave Xudu, which depends on the princes' efforts. ”
Help Liu Chuang get out of Xu Du?
Dong Cheng and the others couldn't help frowning, revealing a contemplative look.
"Shoucheng, does it have to be like this?"
"It has to be so!"
Ma Teng's answer was categorical, but there was another thought in his heart.
He agreed to join the operation of Zhu Cao, but it does not mean that he wants to be the first person. Zhu Cao can improve his prestige and help him gain the recognition of the Central Plains scholars. But if you really want to send troops...... Ma Teng thought to himself, with the barren land of Xiliang, how could he compete with the Central Plains, which was rich in natural treasures, rich in money and grain, and had a large population? According to historical records, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuzhou alone had a population of more than 7 million.
Yanzhou has a population of more than 4 million, which adds up to 11 million people.
Even Xuzhou, which has experienced the war, has a population of nearly three million.
And what about Liangzhou? In the whole of Liangzhou, there are only 470,000 people, and Wuwei County under Ma Teng's rule has a total population of only more than 30,000.
Of course, this refers to the Han Chinese population. There are quite a few foreign populations, such as the Qiang, Hu, Di and Hutu people, adding up to hundreds of thousands. But even so, the population of the entire Liangzhou, including those aliens, is not comparable to the population of Yingchuan County.
In this case, where did Ma Teng get the confidence to compete with Cao Cao?
Not to mention, although he said that after he pretended to be General Fubo's horse aid, how could he be compared with Liu Chuang's identity as a clan member of the Han family.
Once the matter is exposed, Cao Cao will inevitably deal with Liu Chuang first, and Ma Teng can take this opportunity to get a respite and find another way.
This is also the reason why Ma Teng has repeatedly emphasized that he wants to pull Liu Chuang in.
Dong Cheng and others, how do they know Ma Teng's careful thoughts?
Several people discussed, whether Dong Cheng was willing or not, they had to admit that if Liu Chuang could join, their chances of winning would be a few points higher.
"In that case, in front of whom to invite?"
Wu Zi pondered for a moment and said, "I recommend someone who can go and invite him, but he must not be noticed by the old thief?" ”
"Who?"
"Taiwei Yang Biao......"
"Zilan Xiu wants to ask the old lady to come forward again, first he was tortured by Man Boning before, and his courage has disappeared, how dare he come forward again?"
Wu Zi laughed and said, "Uncle Guo is in a hurry, and listen to me."
I'm not saying that I want to come forward first, but let Yang Xiu, the son of the first, and Yang Dezu go to contact Uncle Liu. Although he has no courage, he is loyal to the Han family. The Yang family is full of loyalty, and if they knew about it, they would definitely agree. Dezu had previously received Uncle Liu Huang. He has a good relationship with Uncle Liu Huang. If he goes to visit, he will not notice that he wants to come and the thief. On the contrary, you and I have no friendship with Uncle Liu Huang, and if we go rashly, we will inevitably be suspected of being a thief. The only danger in this matter is the attitude of the first, as long as you agree first, the matter will be done. ”
Come to think of it, it does make sense.
Yang Biao was an extremely tough royalist before, although he was tossed by full favor. But more often than not, it is also hindered by the current situation, and it has to be done.
This matter, you can only blame Yuan Shu for his rebellion, and it really has nothing to do with Yang Biao.
Dong Cheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you are willing to come forward first." Then great things can be done...... This matter, please let you work hard. ”
Ziyou is the table character of the king's clothes.
Wang Fu naturally did not refuse, and nodded in agreement immediately.
When the five men saw that the matter had been settled, they prepared to leave separately.
But at this moment, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Xudu.
The person who is on the horse is Dong Cheng's servant. He came to the Weishui Pavilion. rolled the saddle and dismounted, and walked a few steps quickly to Dong Cheng......
"Uncle Guo, something happened!"
Dong Cheng was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
"It's noon. Uncle Liu Huang clashed with Wei Zhe, a son of the Wei family, in the Beixuli Restaurant.
Uncle Liu Huang was furious, and beheaded nearly 30 servants of the guard, who were taken down on the spot by Xu Lingman's favor and sent to prison. ”
Dong Cheng and the five people heard it. First stunned, then looked at each other.
Wu Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems." Our Uncle Liu Huang is really unwilling to stop......"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The news of Liu Chuang's killing in Beixuli was like a gust of wind, and it spread all over the streets and alleys of Xudu in an instant.
Nearly 30 people were killed in the restaurant, and it was also a first-class case since Jian'an, which attracted the attention of countless people. Of course, what kind of virtue is Wei Zhe? Most of the people in Xu Du know it. It's just that I didn't expect Liu Chuang to be so ruthless...... That's nearly thirty lives, but he said kill them. What is the concept? This guy's murderous nature is really surprising.
When Cao Cao got the news, he also had a headache.
The Wei family came to Sikong Mansion to cry to Cao Cao, but he could only comfort him gently.
But there must be an explanation for this matter. If Liu Chuang is not disposed of, the law that he has worked so hard to establish may be broken. But if Liu Chuang is dealt with, I am afraid that Zhong Xuan and those people will not agree. Although Wei Zi helped Cao Cao back then, over the years, the affection has also been repaid. To be honest, Cao Cao's reaction to the Wei family was actually not particularly taken to heart.
He has a headache, and Liu Chuangte can cause trouble.
The former killed the bear in the aftermath, and this ran out another murderer, and the killing was a river of blood.
Cao Cao wandered over the yatang, his face helpless.
"It's really a bit troublesome for this intrusion to refuse to stop and cause such a big thing."
And Guo Jia was on the side, and he also shook his head helplessly, "Lord, I inquired about this matter, it seems that Uncle Liu Huang was eating wine with people in the restaurant, and he saw Wei Zhe robbing the people's daughter, so he didn't hold back for a while, so he stopped it." How did Wei Zhe know that he was bold enough to rally the crowd to besiege him. You think, that flying bear is not a person who is afraid of things, so this tragedy happened in Beixuli.
I also inquired about the identity of the person who ate and drank with Liu Chuang, and it seems to be Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi.
Ma Chao also killed someone, but Liu Chuang took care of the matter alone...... By the way, that Ma Chao seems to be quite brave. ”
One Liu Chuang is enough to give people a headache.
Now another son of Ma Teng has popped up, which makes Cao Cao feel helpless.
Although Cao Cao didn't take Ma Teng in his eyes, after all, Ma Teng was also a prince, and he was the object that he had to pacify in the pass.
Therefore, Cao Cao must not pursue Ma Teng. But if Ma Teng can't be pursued, he can't deal with Liu Chuang.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but gently rub his temples, and after a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, then what do you think should be done with this matter?" ”
