Chapter 41: Moving the Capital (Part II)
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but nod again and again.
He smiled and said, "This Ding Ziyang is a fierce person. ”
But all this changed because Cao Cao failed in his assassination and fled Luoyang alone.
Ding Chen hated Cao Cao to the bone because Cao Cao didn't care about his sister's life and death. In fact, he never cared about the government and politics, and he didn't even care about who was in charge of the court. According to Jia Qu, who guarded Cao's mansion, after Ding Chen returned home, in addition to teaching Cao Cao's son Cao Ang to practice martial arts, he almost talked to Sister A, and his attitude was very respectful.
This time, he guarded the Hucheng Pavilion, which was arranged by Hua Xiong at will, and he had not discussed it with anyone before.
Therefore, Cao Cao didn't even know that Ding Chen was there before the soldiers came to Hucheng Pavilion. And after Ding Chen met Cao Cao, after persuading Cao Cao to quit the rebels, he angrily cut off his robe and broke off his righteousness...... To sum up, Confucianism thought that Ding Chen had no problem. ”
Dong Zhuo listened carefully and nodded from time to time to express his agreement with Li Ru's words.
After Li Ru finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said, "Wen You, it seems that you value this person very much?" ”
"At first, Confucianism paid attention to him because of Wen Hou's recommendation.
However, at that time, Confucianism thought that he was Wen Hou's person, so he was only responsible for secretly observing, but he never had contact with him.
Later, Ru found that he did not seem to be Wen Hou's subordinate, and his identity was quite embarrassing.
Hehe, Xiangguo knows that Confucianism is a Zhonglang general, but there are few people around him who can do things, so ......
Besides, if Ding Chen is not Wen Hou's subordinate, why not recruit him?
Our Liangzhou army has been at a disadvantage since Lu Bu's surrender. If Ding Chen is from my Liangzhou army, he will definitely be able to shake the morale of my Liangzhou army...... Prime Minister, Confucian's move is selfless, but I don't want my Liangzhou Army to be suppressed by the Bingzhou Army all the time. ”
There was a contradiction between the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army, and Dong Zhuo certainly knew it.
However, he did not stop it, let alone get involved.
In his opinion, the Liangzhou army and the Bingzhou army fighting each other are actually beneficial, and it is more conducive to his control.
It's just that Dong Zhuo started in Liangzhou after all, and the Liangzhou Army is the team he started. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the Liangzhou Army could suppress the state army. In this way, he will have more face, and at the same time, it will be convenient for him to knock Lu Bu.
"Wenyou, you can send someone to get in touch.
But remember, if you win over and win over, you can't hurt your peace with Feng first. You are all my right-hand men, and if there is a big trouble, I will only deal with it impartially. However, if Ding Chen can submit to you, it will also be a good thing for the Liangzhou army. ”
"Confucian, understood."
Li Ru knew that when it came to this, this topic could actually be over.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo changed his words and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, Wang Situ and Zheng Gongye persuaded me, saying that the rebel army was strong, so let me avoid the edge for the time being, and put forward a proposal for me to move the capital. I'm also hesitant about this, I don't know if you have any opinions? ”
Moving the capital?
Li Ru's heart perked, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Ru is about to discuss this matter with Xiangguo. ”
"Huh?"
Two days ago, Ru heard a nursery rhyme on the street.
There is a Han in the east, a Han in the west, and the deer walks into Chang'an, so that there is no difficulty...... When Confucianism heard about it, he immediately sent someone to investigate, but the source was never found. Later, when Confucianism thought about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth in this nursery rhyme. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"There is a Han in the west, I think it means that Gaozu entered Guanzhong and prospered in Chang'an; The first Han in the east, without a doubt, refers to the Guangwu Emperor Zhongxing and Luoyang. Back then, Gaozu Xing in Chang'an, to Wang Mang's rebellion, 200 years; It is also 200 years since Guangwu Xing in Luoyang. When Han Xing was in Chang'an, Wang Mang usurped power. Guangwu Xing in Luoyang, so far coincided with the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Ten Standing Servants. This undoubtedly shows that the flow of fortune has shifted from Luoyang to Chang'an.
The prime minister supported the new emperor, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, and it was time to adapt to the time of day to protect His Majesty to move the capital to Chang'an and sit in Guanzhong......
The ancients said that those who have the middle will win the world.
After the prime minister moved the capital to Chang'an, Liangzhou in the west was the place where the prime minister started; It is bordered by Bashu in the south and is the country of abundance. When the time comes, the prime minister can use Hangu Pass as a moat and order the princes. At that time, the revival of the Han dynasty must be just around the corner. ”
Dong Zhuo listened very seriously, raised his head after a while, looked at Li Ru, and looked up and down for a long time.
The light in his eyes was sharp, like an eagle falcon, which made Li Ru shudder.
He didn't dare to speak anymore, but stood with his hands down.
After a long time, Dong Zhuocai spoke: "What Wen You said today, out of your mouth and into my ears, must not be known to a third party."
This matter is very important, and let me think twice.
You send someone to Xingyang and give me orders.
Ding Ziyang is magnificent, elegant, and should be valued by the world. This time, he guarded Hucheng Pavilion, destroyed the rebels' tricks, killed his relatives more righteously, and defeated Cao Cao three times. However, when he retreated, he was defeated by Cao Cao and suffered heavy losses, so he had to be punished.
Although His Majesty is young, he is gifted and intelligent, and he says: meritorious service should be rewarded, there have been punishments, meritorious deeds do not offset each other, merit is merit, and merit is excess. Therefore, Ren Ding Chen rode the captain, rewarded 100 gold, and this brocade silk was a thousand horses; He was fined for half a year and was charged with meritorious service. ”
When Li Ru heard this, he immediately felt happy in his heart.
He knew that Dong Zhuo asked him to pass on this order, which was actually putting the opportunity to win over Ding Chen into his hands.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Xingyang, outside the Yangren Pass.
The large camp of the coalition army stretched for more than ten miles, and from a distance, the flags were unfurled, and the momentum was amazing.
Sun Jian sat in the treasure tent of the Chinese army in the camp, his face gloomy.
"Inherently unfair!"
He was in a low mood, and there was even more anger in his words.
Although Meng De occupied Hucheng Pavilion, he was defeated in three battles, not only failed to achieve the effect of surprise attacks, but lost his troops and generals, which alarmed Lu Bu. My son won the first battle, and he even won the first rank of Hu Zhen. Why was Mengde rewarded, but my son was not mentioned?
Yuan Benchu's reward and punishment are so unknown, and a certain family is not convinced! ”
In the big tent, they are all Sun Jian's cronies.
Hearing him complain like this, he couldn't help but be indignant one by one.
Sun Ce sat under Sun Jian, and his face was even more unhappy.
He killed Hu Zhen, although he later fell into Huaxiong's treacherous scheme, so that he was defeated by Yangren, but he did not hide his merits.
It's good now, Cao Cao just captured a deserted Hucheng Pavilion, but he was praised by the princes.
His father and son fought fiercely in Yangren Pass for many days, and they didn't even see anyone who came to pay tribute to the army, not to mention that Yuan Shu Yuan Highway sent people to urge him to let Sun Jian break through Yangren Pass as soon as possible. This also doubled the pressure on Sun Jian's shoulders.
"Wentai, since the alliance leader can't be treated impartially, why don't I withdraw from the army?"
Sun Jian frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed and said, "It's too late to retreat at this time."
Besides, if my Sun Jian retreats from the army at this time, doesn't the concubine say that I am not as good as Meng De, and I am even more afraid of that Huaxiong? Since Sun was born, he has never retreated in every battle, so he is called the 'Jiangdong Tiger'. If he retires now, he will definitely be laughed at by the heroes of the world, let alone humiliated by Yuan Highway...... Therefore, not only can I not retreat, but I also have to take the Yangren Pass as soon as possible. When the time comes, I want to see what he Yuan Benchu says, and see if he dares to favor one over the other? ”
