Chapter 452: Wu Tian's Decision
In the end, the discussion of several people was still fruitless, Cao Cao still did not get the answer he wanted, and even Wu Tian did not give a clear answer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Fengxiao, do you think this matter should be pursued?!"
After returning to his camp, Wu Tian told Guo Jia about tonight's events, as if he wanted to follow his advice, in fact, it seemed that he could chase it or not, although in the end he knew that there would definitely be no result in the end.
But when the eyes of the world are focused here, every action you make will be magnified, for example, before he took Cai Wenji, there are praises and disapprovals in the world, but there is no difference for him.
"Cao Gong wants to chase but I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed, I'm afraid that most of the princes are not willing to chase, you must know that the Chang'an region is not the Luoyang region, and Dong Zhuo's influence is not the same."
Guo Jia pondered for a while, then said slowly, and after saying this, he paused and continued.
"And if it is in Luoyang, it is easy for the princes to get a reserve supplement, but if it is an expedition to Chang'an, it is another matter, not to mention that the battle of Tiger Prison Pass has made the princes realize a lot of gaps."
"As for changing to our town's border army, it mainly depends on the opinion of the lord, if it is from Jia's point of view, it should not be chased, since Dong Zhuo has burned Luoyang, how can there be no plan to retreat."
"Presumably, even if we catch up, we won't be able to get any benefit, and we may even be ambushed, and the other point is that even if we chase it, what is the use of us!"
.......
Guo Jia said it sentence by sentence, but he said his reasons, and Wu Tian just listened quietly, with a smile on his face.
"All in all, it's this thankless thing not to do, right?!"
Wu Tian said with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, his heart was actually inclined not to chase, because this matter was indeed thankless.
In addition, Cao Cao's relationship has not been familiar with him to that point, and he is qualified to make a move, maybe Cao Cao will be very disappointed in him, but so what.
They are destined not to be friends in the future, but more likely to be enemies, so this point is harmless in his opinion, and as for the huge prestige that chasing Dong Zhuo will bring, it will not have any effect on him.
Because most of the talents that these prestige can attract are die-hard loyalists of the royal family, he Wutian would rather not, originally they were in the army and the border famine, whether it was soldiers or ordinary people, the concept of the country was very weak.
Or that the information they really care about is the local authorities, otherwise how could there be Emperor Shangao Yuanyi, if some diehards are added, it will cause internal contradictions, but it is not beautiful.
He is not like Cao Cao, but there is no talent in the Wenchen area, in the past ten years, they have cultivated a lot of good hands in internal affairs, maybe they can't fight on the march, but it is more than enough to govern a place.
"Yes!"
Guo Jia replied directly after Wu Tian's voice fell, he didn't hide his heart at all, and he naturally had different opinions when he stood in different positions.
In front of Wu Tian, he didn't say it euphemistically, he knew his own character, and the effect of saying it directly was better.
.............
The next day, Yuan Shao and other princes also rushed to Luoyang, and Luoyang, who saw the ruins, also had a burst of shock in his eyes, and at the same time, he couldn't help but scold Dong Thief, especially several old ministers were also in tears.
As for the following, there is no follow-up, and no one seems to think about chasing Dong Zhuo, and no one even talks about the crusade against Chang'an.
There was no surprise in this scene in Wu Tian's eyes, because presumably the princes must have been persuaded by their advisers on the way back after receiving the news.
And the most important thing is Yuan Benchu's opinion, as long as he doesn't chase it, then it is impossible for most princes to chase it to Chang'an, and Yuan Shao can't see the form of the world.
It is obvious that the world is going to be in chaos, and with the help of the power of the Yuan family and the support of the top forces behind him, he may be able to unify the Central Plains and become a new generation of kings.
Obviously, Yuan Shao already had this idea in his heart, and as for the hatred with Dong Zhuo, it was not impossible to let go, and it was impossible to liquidate it in the future, so it was also doomed to the rupture of the princes' alliance this time.
When the night was about to fall, there was one person who couldn't help it, this person was Cao Cao, he originally thought that someone would ask this question after the princes came to Luoyang today.
It was difficult to wait for a day to pass, but no one raised this question, which couldn't help but make Cao Cao feel irritable, if he delayed for another day, he was afraid that the Xiliang army would go away.
In the tent, the princes were singing in a joyful mood, although Dong Zhuo retreated, but it was a good thing for the two of them, because it also represented their alternative victory.
Although it can only deceive the uninformed people, it is enough for the princes, because they are just under the stairs to avoid the embarrassment of failure.
At this moment, a figure rushed in, causing the princes in the tent to frown, but after seeing that it was Cao Cao, they let go.
"Come, Mengde, let's have a few drinks!"
Yuan Shao greeted Cao Cao, his face flushed with a hint of ruddy, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine before.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Dong Zhuo has left Luoyang, and he is still taking hundreds of thousands of people with him, but it is an opportunity for us to pursue, so I ask the alliance leader to send troops!"
Cao Cao said with a hint of seriousness in his eyes, but the coldness in his tone cooled down the atmosphere in the tent.
Outside the tent, Wu Tian saw this scene in his eyes, but sighed slightly, and under the dim lights, a figure asking for the life of the big man was slowly revealed, but the final result was unsatisfactory.
"Meng De, you also know that the allies have been exhausted and have no power to chase Dong Zhuo anymore."
After a while, Yuan Shao seemed to regain a trace of his spirits, and then said slowly, but he also ushered in the applause of the surrounding princes.
"The Alliance Leader is right!"
"What's more, Dong Zhuo has already been defeated, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes, besides, God has the virtue of a good life, and the lives of our soldiers are also precious, so why bother to fight again!"
..........
One by one, the princes took advantage of the drunkenness but also said their thoughts, and even many people thought that Dong Zhuo was afraid of them, but this attitude made Cao Cao feel a kind of despair in his heart.
"The erector is not enough and conspiracy! I, Cao Mengde, am ashamed to be with you, you don't chase me alone! ”
Cao Cao glanced at the surrounding princes, and finally said angrily, turning to leave, leaving only the princes in the tent to look at each other.
"This time, there is one less loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and one more powerful hero! It's just Meng De, you are drunk with everyone, are you awake alone? But it's a pity. ”
Wu Tian looked at Cao Cao's departing figure with a hint of complexity in his eyes and thought secretly.
