347 Dong Zhuo's solicitation letter

In October 189 of the game calendar, NPC Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor of the Han Dynasty and established the new emperor, completing the act of establishing authority in the world.

Subsequently, through the replacement and treatment of the highest officials of the central power, the entire Eastern Han "government" was almost completely subject to Dong Zhuo: the abolition of the emperor, the appointment and dismissal of courtiers, and the formulation of major policies, all in one centralized power.

Dong Zhuo promoted himself to the rank of lieutenant, became one of the three dukes, in charge of the national military and former generals' affairs, and later proclaimed himself a county marquis, worshiped "under one person, above ten thousand" prime minister, jumped to the head of the three dukes, held the power of prime minister, and enjoyed the privilege of "praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty and not tending to the court, and going to the palace with a sword".

However, it is not enough to rely on the vast central bureaucracy. Many of the deep-rooted officials and bureaucrats in the DPRK and China were not convinced by the barbarians who came to Xiliang at all.

Yuan Shao, who held the military power in Luoyang City, strongly countered the establishment of the new emperor. Dong Zhuo wanted to eradicate him. Yuan Shao fled to Bohai County for refuge. Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, was extremely powerful in the Jizhou clan, and Dong Zhuo did not dare to pursue it.

Cao Cao is in the capital and holds military power. In the process of expanding his troops and collecting military power, Dong Zhuo wanted to eat Cao Cao by luring him to his advantage. But Cao Cao saw through Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, refused to cooperate with him, assassinated Dong Zhuo before he succeeded, and fled Luoyang without saying goodbye.

Many loyal ministers in the court were forced to flee or were eliminated and exterminated.

Dong Zhuo tried his best to win over the important ministers of the imperial court, Situ Huangwan, and Sikong Yang Biao. The three of them formed a faction in the DPRK and China, and colluded to promote and support Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others who had been denounced. Wooing, enticing, and squeezing out all forces that are unfavorable to oneself are attacked. A large number of party members were re-promoted and appointed, and Cai Yong, who had been exiled, was co-opted and recruited into the court as an official by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's wanton play with power, indiscriminately killing innocents, and sharply intensifying the contradictions in the imperial court. He saw the potential crisis in all the signs and was deeply disturbed. Therefore, in addition to arranging his own forces in various central ministries, he also installed local cronies by bribing and appointing local governors and assassinating historians to protect his central power.

The center of gravity of the purchase is the Liangzhou warlords.

Thousands of cavalry, rushing to various parts of the thirteen states. Among them, hundreds of riders went straight to Liangzhou.

......

Liangzhou, Anding City.

Ma Teng frowned when he received the letter from Dong Zhuo's envoy.

Although he is a rebel, he rebelled against local officials, killed corrupt officials, and ensured the safety of the people. For the imperial court, he is fiercely loyal. Dong Zhuo, a thief, is extremely influential in Liangzhou and is notorious all over the world.

He sits on Anding County and Beidi County, so he naturally disdains to take refuge in Dong Zhuo.

However, Dong Zhuo was in the name of the righteousness of the imperial court, Zhao'an to him, returned to the imperial court, and led troops to Luoyang to protect the lord. This made him very difficult. Zhao'an, this is the best way to clear the name. Perhaps, it is time to discuss with Wen Yue (Han Sui).

Liangzhou, Jincheng.

Han Sui received a letter from Dong Zhuo and invited him to lead his troops to Luoyang, and couldn't help but sneer. The opportunity to enter Chang'an and Luoyang has come! In Liangzhou, a place where birds don't, he has had enough. Dong Zhuo gave him the opportunity to go to Chang'an justifiably.

Overnight, Ma Teng took dozens of relatives and rushed to Jincheng in person to discuss with Jincheng Taishou Han Sui whether to accept Zhao'an and return to the imperial court.

"Wen Yue, what do you think of Dong Zhuo's recruitment?"

"Brother Shoucheng, isn't this exactly what you want? No matter how violent Dong Zhuo is, he represents the righteousness of the court after all. We have rightly turned to Him. If this rare opportunity is missed, Dong Zhuo will be overthrown by other ministers of the imperial court in the future, and those ministers who follow the old ways will not be willing to give us another chance to surrender. ”

Ma Teng hesitated, but finally made up his mind and agreed.

"Anyway, the name of the thief should be removed. However, Dong Zhuo invited us to lead the troops to Luoyang, what do you think of this? ”

"Hmph, Dong Zhuo has begun to be afraid, although he has hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, but compared to the resistance forces one after another, how strong can he be? He urgently needed a large number of military reinforcements to secure his position as prime minister, so he was willing to surrender to us and promise the rank of general. Dong Zhuo is a great warlord from Xiliang, and he has no one else to rely on except for us Xiliang people.

But he is using us, isn't this an opportunity for us? We can take advantage of this rare opportunity to control the government with Dong Zhuo, and let us Xiliang people control the overall situation of the world. ”

At this time, Han Sui was extremely excited. This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not something that anyone can come across.

Seeing this, Ma Teng was secretly worried.

"Bringing troops into Luoyang is indeed the best way to seek wealth and nobility. But Liangzhou is not just our two warlords. ”

"You mean that Wuwei is too guarded, and Pingyu Zhonglang will be Xiaobai?"

"Not bad."

"If my guess is correct, he should also have received Dong Zhuo's letter. As for whether he will respond, it is difficult to say. He was originally an important minister of the imperial court, guarding one side alone, and he didn't need to look at Dong Zhuo's face to act. If he takes advantage of the opportunity to seize our foundation while we wait for the army to enter Luoyang, it will be a big trouble. This needs to be carefully considered. ”

"Xiaobai sits on the natural danger of Gulang Gorge, guards it with heavy troops, and controls the two cities of Wuwei and Zhangye. In a hurry, we couldn't take him down. In my opinion, we must try to convince him to march into Luoyang together. In this way, the situation of our Xiliang army controlling the imperial court will determine the overall situation. ”

"Well, in that case, then we will send messengers to persuade us."

......

Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Xiaobai Town.

Dozens of horsemen flew to Xiaobai Town and handed over Dong Zhuo's letter to Wuwei Taishou Xiaobai.

Zhan Xiaobai received Dong Zhuo's letter of acceptance, and was a little stunned for a while. Didn't Dong Zhuo claim the king and hegemony in the imperial court, why did he think of writing a letter to himself?

He opened the letter and read it.

In the letter, Dong Zhuo, in the name of the prime minister of the imperial court, asked Xiaobai to take refuge, promised to promote him to the rank of Sipin Zuo Zhonglang General [Liubu Shilang], and led troops to Luoyang with Ma Teng and Han Sui to guard Quezhong.

"System prompt: Player Xiaobai, officially undertake the task of 'Dong Zhuo's letter'. This is the Faction Selection Mission. Please select 'Yes' or 'No'. Choosing 'Yes' will officially join Dong Zhuo's camp, become Dong Zhuo's general, and be the enemy of the Eighteenth Route Princes in the Battle of Tiger Pass. If you choose 'No', you will remain in the imperial camp and be the enemy of Dong Zhuojun in the Battle of Tiger Pass. Deadline for reply: 15 days. If he did not make a choice within fifteen days, he automatically gave up joining Dong Zhuo's camp. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was speechless for a while. This letter turned out to be to choose a camp.

Calculate the time, the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass broke out in just one month, and at this juncture, Dong Zhuo thought of winning him over. Tiger Prison is one of the most important plots in the whole game, and the possibility of plot reversal is extremely small. Subsequently, the prelude to the world hegemony was truly launched.

After Dong Zhuo's defeat at Tiger Prison Pass, he burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, and his regime remained in Chang'an for a long time, until Lu Bu fell for Diao Chan's beauty trick and Dong Zhuo died.

Zhan Xiaobai handed the letter to Jianba, Qiushui, Spring and Autumn Shaoxia, Tianbao and others for their reference.

Jian Ba's opinion: "From the perspective of the righteousness of the world, choosing the side of the princes of the Eighteenth Road is the right way, and choosing Dong Zhuo's camp has a bleak future." ”

Qiushui didn't have any opinions, but she also leaned towards the imperial court's position.

The opinion of the Spring and Autumn Young Heroes is, "Pick the stronger side to join and become the victor of the war." ”

Sky Leopard's opinion: "Pick the one who gets the most places to join." If Dong Zhuo can offer a high enough price, it doesn't hurt to join Dong Zhuo's camp. ”

Based on the opinions of the four people, Zhan Xiaobai threw Dong Zhuo's letter into the secret vault. Dong Zhuo gave too few benefits, and a mere fourth-grade Zuo Zhonglang general was not enough for him to run to work for Dong Zhuo. Moreover, his strength was still too weak compared to the big warlords such as Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, and even if he went to Luoyang, he would not get much additional benefits.

......

An NPC military general from Chang'an rushed to Xiaobai Town, claiming to be Huangfu Li, and urgently asked to see Wuwei Taishou.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't think about it, so he immediately met him in the study.

This Huangfu Li is none other than Zhan Xiaobai's teacher Huangfu Song's nephew. Although Zhan Xiaobai has not seen it, he has also heard of this name, and Huangfu Song also has a son, Huangfu Jianshou, and Zhan Xiaobai has never seen it. Although they haven't seen each other, the relationship between them is a natural intimate relationship because Zhan Xiaobai worships Huangfu Song as his teacher.

I don't know what this Huangfu Li came to Wuwei to do with him.

Zhan Xiaobai arched his hand and said: "Xiaobai has seen Brother Li, I don't know if the teacher has always been good?" ”

Huangfu Li smiled bitterly and replied: "Xiaobai doesn't have to be polite, I came to Wuwei for this matter." Because of his opposition to Dong Thief, his uncle was imprisoned by Dong Thief and imprisoned in the prison of Chang'an City, and he was to be beheaded one day.

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked, "What, Dong Zhuo wants to kill the teacher?" ”

Huangfu Li said bitterly: "Exactly." My cousin Jianshou used to have a relationship with Dong Thief, so he had rushed to Luoyang to intercede with Dong Thief, hoping that he would let his uncle go. But I don't think most of the Dong thieves will agree. The situation is critical, so I came to Wuwei to discuss big things with Xiaobai. ”

Zhan Xiaobai immediately said: "Brother Li has something to say. ”

Huangfu Li gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Crusade against Dong Thief——! Dong Zhuo disobeyed his fate and conceived a "traitor", the crime was unforgivable, and his uncle had already conspired with Yang Xun and others to conspire against Dong Thief. It's just that he didn't expect to be preempted by Dong Thief and put his uncle in prison. To save his uncle, only Xiaobai can crusade against Dong Thief and raise troops in Chang'an. There are a large number of bureaucrats and military generals in Chang'an City, and as long as the uncle raises his arms, they will inevitably respond in droves. Xiaobai and his uncle should cooperate with each other, and they can take Chang'an in one fell swoop and eradicate the troops left in Chang'an by Dong Thief. Then he captured Hangu Pass and forced Luoyang to be armed. Great cause can be made——! ”

Huangfu Li stared at Zhan Xiaobai tightly, staring at his every look.

Zhan Xiaobai is surprisingly calm.
