Chapter 62: Luoyang is cloudy
"The Great Enemy!" Ignoring Yuan Shao's doubts, Yuan Kui looked at the blank chessboard that had committed suicide, shook his head, and sighed.
"Uncle, please forgive my nephew for being stupid." Yuan Shao was a little dazed by Yuan Kui's headless words, and said with Yuan Kui's disappointed gaze.
"You are indeed stupid." Yuan Kui turned his head, looked at Yuan Shao's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment, shook his head and sighed: "Although Li Ziyang is reckless, but his vision is far-reaching, but few people can match, this battle, it seems that it is a failure, but in fact, he just jumped out of the narrow chessboard of Luoyang, and looked at the chaos in Luoyang from the height of the whole world." ”
"The world!?" Yuan Shao suddenly raised his head, faintly, as if grasping something.
"Yes, the world." Yuan Kui nodded lightly and asked rhetorically: "What is the general trend of the world at the beginning?" ”
What is the trend in the world?
This question, Yuan Shao really didn't think about it, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, although the world was not very peaceful, but the remnants of the Han family were still there, even if it was Yuan Shao, before that, he was just thinking about how to hold the power of Luoyang in the palm of his hand, no matter how much, he just thought that he could be ranked as the third prince in the future, and the momentum of the Yuan family would go to the next level, as for the rest, it was not that he didn't want to, but at that time, Emperor Ling seemed to be mediocre, but in fact, the emperor's means were extremely skillful, even if he had that idea, he experienced the changes of Wang Fen at the beginning, After Emperor Ling wantonly sacrificed a butcher's knife to the family and killed him, his thoughts were also killed.
It's just that now, Yuan Kui suddenly raised this question, which made Yuan Shao can't help but fall into deep thought, Yuan Kui didn't bother when he saw this, just smiled and continued to look at the chessboard in front of him.
"The Han family is declining, and the trend of separating the princes has become a success, and what is lacking now is just an opportunity." After a long time, Yuan Shao opened his eyes. Said slowly.
"It's valuable that you can see that." Yuan Kui nodded, and said with a little appreciation in his eyes: "However, then Li Xuan has already seen this, otherwise, with the power in his hands." I don't dare to say anything else, but if you go all out, it will not be difficult to snatch the Young Emperor and Chen Liuwang from you and Dong Zhuo, this rescue work, coupled with his influence in Luoyang, as long as you seize the military power in time, you may not be able to control the court. ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Some are not convinced.
"Not convinced?" As if he had seen through Yuan Shao's thoughts, Yuan Kui asked with a smile.
"Nephew doesn't dare." Yuan Shao shook his head, but his eyes had already betrayed himself clearly.
"Not long after the new army of Jian Shuo arrived, as long as the Queen Mother or the Young Emperor issued an edict, he could take this part of the military power from you, in addition, the regular soldiers in Luoyang were He Jin's team, as long as he wanted. It can also be obtained, and he has the ability. As for the other new troops, except for Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses, they are not more than Er'er, don't take the rabble under your command to talk about things, those wine bags and rice bags, compared with Li Ziyang. There is no comparison. Yuan Kui shook his head and continued: "Coupled with the original Beigong Guards and the group of tigresses in the Fengwei Camp in his hands, as long as he can hold the Young Emperor in his hands, it is enough to make him invincible." ”
"Then why did he ......?"
"Why give up these advantages?" Yuan Kui looked at Yuan Shao, shook his head and sighed, "Because he sees farther than you." His foundation is in Youzhou, too far away from Luoyang, he can't provide him with any support at all, if he really gets the Son of Heaven, whether it is to coerce the Son of Heaven or to serve the Son of Heaven, do you think the princes of the world will be willing to bow down to him? ”
"Naturally not." Yuan Shao sneered, most of the princes in the world are from families, and Yuan Shao of the same family naturally understands their temperament, and it may be easier to kill them if they want to bow their heads to a recklessness.
"What if you were a prince?" Yuan Kui said with a smile.
"Naturally, it is to gather fellow believers and attack them in groups!" Speaking of this, Yuan Shao was suddenly stunned and looked at Yuan Kui with some surprise.
"Yes, his foundation is in Youzhou, and he can't provide him with any help, so even if he occupies Luoyang, in this Central Plains, he is just a rootless wanderer, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact he digs his own grave, but it is better to retreat and seek practical benefits, it is precisely when he sees this, it is he who took the initiative to withdraw from this dispute, I think, even if there is no will of the Queen Mother, he will find other reasons to get out of the huge whirlpool of Luoyang, and he can gain strength, look at the present, tsk, Jihou, that is the county marquis, it is my Yuan family, How many people have this honor? ”
"Then why didn't he take this opportunity to return to Youzhou?" Yuan Shao wondered.
"That means he has bigger plans." Yuan Kui couldn't help but sigh: "At first glance, this person doesn't have much peculiarity, at most he is just a brave man, but now it seems that everyone in the world has been deceived by him!" This person's ambition and courage are really only seen. ”
It was the first time for Yuan Shao to hear his uncle praise a person like this, especially this person still had some grievances with him, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't express it, frowned, and changed the topic: "Now that this Luoyang, with the Duke of Jianyang joining, we have a high chance of winning......"
"So what?" Yuan Kui sneered: "Even if you really fight for it, you will only become the object of conquest by the princes of the world." ”
"They dare!?" Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and glared.
"Why not?" Yuan Kui asked rhetorically: "You also said that the division of the princes is a foregone conclusion, but the banner of the Han Dynasty is still there, whether it is the young emperor or the king of Chen Liu, it will become an important political bargaining chip, and in the same way, no matter who holds this chip in his hand, it will attract everyone's jealousy, this jealous power, even my Yuan family can't bear it, Dong Zhuo can't see clearly, or he is blinded by the interests in front of him, since he wants it, why give it to him?" It is just in this way that we can exchange for greater benefits for our Yuan family. ”
"Uncle is saying that Luoyang will be handed over to Dong Zhuo?" Yuan Shao was a little reluctant.
"Of course not." Yuan Kui smiled and said: "We not only want to get real profits, but also to gain fame or righteousness, since Ding Jianyang is here, let him call Dong Zhuo's Jin Liang, as for us, you don't have to go anywhere these days, secretly send the elite to Nanpi, and the highway will also secretly transfer the elite to Nanyang, I will try to win the opportunity for you to be released, as for how to act next, it depends on the ability of the two of you." ”
Yuan Shao nodded, but this heart is somewhat uneven, Nanyang is a large county in the world, both the population and prosperity under its jurisdiction are the top, only a county in Nanyang, it is comparable to the sum of some state capitals, on the other hand, Nanpi, but it is vast and sparsely populated, although in the rich Jizhou, but both the population and economic indicators are far inferior to Nanyang.
It's just that Yuan Kui has already made a decision, so it can't be changed, and in the Yuan family, no one can shake Yuan Kui's status.
"Don't think that you have been wronged, although Nanpi is not a rich place, but Jizhou is a land of abundant money and food, outstanding people, as long as you manage it well, he will be on the highway in the future." As if sensing Yuan Shao's thoughts, Yuan Kui said lightly, the meaning is very clear, I let you go over, but I didn't let you go farming.
"Nephew doesn't dare." Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said.
"Okay, let's go get ready, I'll be busy for the next while." Yuan Kui waved his hand.
"My nephew is leaving."
……
In the next few days, the people of Luoyang, who had just experienced a rebellion, found that although there was no war, life was still not very good, the whole Luoyang was shrouded in a layer of clouds, although there was no sword and sword, but the feeling of depression made people panic, even on the street were cautious, more often, most of them were cowered in their own homes.
Intelligence continued to gather in front of Li Xuan's case like snowflakes.
Above the court, Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family are about to tear their faces, although Yuan Kui is ready to let the Yuan family give up Luoyang, but they can't just give it to Dong Zhuo, everything has a gradual process.
Dong Zhuo adopted the strategy of the strategist Li Ru, releasing the Xiliang soldiers at night and coming in through the main gate during the day, creating the illusion that the Xiliang army was entering Luoyang in an endless stream, and at the same time constantly coercing those generals who remained neutral, and constantly collecting the military power left by He Jin.
And the Yuan family, in the face of Dong Zhuo's aggressiveness, seemed to be a little powerless, and the originally evenly matched forces were constantly compressed.
In the end, after collecting most of He Jin's military power, Dong Zhuo finally couldn't help it, and at a banquet, he publicly ignored the edict of the former emperor Liu Hong, but this banquet was not successful, and the edict was torn to pieces by Ding Yuan mercilessly, and he called it an edict, Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill Ding Yuan on the spot, but was stopped by a military general behind Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo broke openly, and started a big battle outside Luoyang City, Ding Yuan's fierce general Lu Bu in one day, even beheaded Dong Zhuo 18 generals, and killed Dong Zhuo did not dare to leave the camp.
"Hehe, Feng Xian is really brave, worthy of being a god general in the world, but this Ding Yuan is afraid that he is about to lose!" Looking at the information in his hand, Li Xuan said with a smile.
"The lord is weak and the minister is strong, with Lu Bu's bravery, it turns out to be just a small master, it seems that Ding Yuan is quite protective of Lu Bu!" Huang Rong nodded, shook her head with a smile and said, "If I were Dong Zhuo, I would send a good debater, with a BMW, to be able to rebel against him." ”
If you want to ask what the border army lacks the most, it is definitely a war horse, Ding Yuan is a Bingzhou assassin, even if there are not many good horses in his hand, there are definitely a few, but what Lu Bu is riding now is just an ordinary Bingzhou horse, it can be seen how much Ding Yuan does not want to see Lu Bu, if he has to rely on Lu Bu's bravery, I am afraid that Lu Bu will not even have a chance to play.
There is the best courage in the world, but he doesn't know how to hide the front, and it is inevitable that he will be feared, Ding Yuan is like this, Dong Zhuo is like this, and even the princes of all parties who later took in Lu Bu, I am afraid they all have similar worries, after all, Lu Bu's force has reached a peak, such a character, not everyone is capable of controlling it, coupled with Lu Bu's unruly temperament, he finally ended up defeated and died, which is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
