Chapter 11: Insidious
"The great opportunity is in front of you, if you miss this time, you will never have such a chance to reach the top directly!"
"Time is not waiting, hesitate for a moment, or take it and there will be an accident."
"Thinking that there is a way out, how can I move forward, have you forgotten the story of King Xiang's ruin?"
"Take out all your spirits, all your life, bones and blood, rush through this level, and if you don't move forward bravely, when will you wait?"
"When the strength of the Duke of Luoyang recovers, will you go back to Liangzhou to be looked down upon, to be scolded as a border county martial artist, and to stay on the bloody battlefield forever?"
"Don't you want to sit in Luoyang and get everything by pointing your fingers?"
"If you don't work hard now, in the next hundred years, two hundred years, your children and grandchildren will be looked down upon by the children and grandchildren of the minister!"
Li Ru's voice sounded in the ears of the Xiliang generals in their hearts, and everyone who listened to it was full of blood and blood, "Are you willing to live like that life again?" ”
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
Li Ru's words and sentences were pounded heavily in the hearts of the generals of Xiliang, and Li Ru's words hooked out the anger that had been suppressed in the entire Liangzhou for a hundred years, and hooked out the unwillingness in everyone's hearts.
Where in this world can anyone who can single-handedly move the general trend to work?
Li Ru was humiliated, how could he let the entire Xiliang go to avenge him?
It is because the entire Xiliang people are unwilling in their hearts, and it is with this unwillingness in their hearts that they can endure hunger and exercise a strong will in a difficult and difficult environment.
Today, seeing this prosperous Luoyang, it is time to change the role, starting from Emperor Guangwu's appointment again, a hundred years of wealth is enough.
The ministers take turns to sit, and they will go to Xiliang today!
If you ask what it is, the iron rides on Luoyang!
Li Ru was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals of Xiliang, and if he maintained this spirit, where could he not go in the world?
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, drew the sword in his hand, and roared: "Go and attack the city, let the ministers of Luoyang see the courage of our Xiliang Erlang, and let them know who has been protecting them for the past hundred years." ”
His majestic body was as majestic as the god of war under the sunlight, Li Ru looked at the high-spirited Dong Zhuo with satisfaction, recalled the words of Wushuang Hou Luokong, shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "Wushuang Hou, such Dong Zhongying, who in the world can stop our Xiliang Iron Horse?" ”
"Whoa!"
The generals of Xiliang drew their swords one after another, and they were about to organize their soldiers to start attacking the city.
Liu Wei looked at this scene, only to feel cold, and asked Luo Kong timidly: "Junhou, why are these Xiliang troops like this?" ”
Luo Kong held Liu Wei's hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty, if there is a chance in the future."
If you have the opportunity to rule the world, you remember that half of what these Xiliang troops said just now was an excuse.
There is no fairness in this world, but we must try to be as fair as possible.
At that time, Guanzhong oppressed Guandong, and in the end, Emperor Guangwu relied on Guandong to raise troops, even if he successfully took over Guanzhong, but in the end he had to abandon Guanzhong.
This is called a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
This hundred years is to repay debts, and now that Kansai is oppressed, and the warriors of the border counties are constantly bleeding, they naturally hate Kanto, and even the imperial family.
They want the royal family and the ministers to return the blood. ”
Luo Kong's sentence hated the royal family, and Liu Wei and Tang Ji who listened to it were afraid, "There is a scale in the hearts of people all over the world."
Why is Lowe's never subjected to these accusations, because Rock's has been sacrificing and bleeding.
Power and status can only bring false support, and only blood and sacrifice can forge true immortality! ”
Liu Wei listened in confusion, but Tang Ji's eyes lit up, Luo Kong touched Liu Wei's head and didn't say anything more.
Liu Wei will not be an emperor who can hold great power, these words are just some emotions that Luo Kong wants to express.
In a world that is even more unwilling to endure, this glaring injustice can only lead to one outcome, and that is a mass revolt.
The confrontation between regions is too strong, and there are rifts of discontent everywhere between Kansai and Kanto, between Liangzhou and the Western Regions in Kansai, between Kanchu and Liangzhou, between the states of Kanto, and even among the counties of each prefecture.
The nobles married each other in the county and made friends with each other in the state, but that's all, they couldn't get out if they wanted to, and they couldn't get in if others wanted to.
How to make up for this kind of rift, no one knows, after all, it was the emperor who took the lead in doing this.
Now is the time for a backlash, small-scale rebellion is no longer effective, and these warriors with knife handles have rebelled.
Of course, if it weren't for Luo Xiao to push the warriors' force into the abyss at once, these short-term resistances would have been difficult to succeed.
But now I really can't say.
The scholars still have a very strong heritage, how strong is it?
It can be said that if Luo Xiao is still alive, he will also start to use the Shi clan, although it is impossible to be as powerful as the Later Han Dynasty, but it is no problem to control about a quarter.
As long as these warriors give them time, three years at most, they can rearm themselves enough to compete with the border army and use up the elite of these border counties through a steady supply and then defeat them.
……
The new letters sent by the Western Liang Army in Luoyang City spread, causing a lot of waves, and the hearts of the people in the city suddenly became complicated.
In any war, there is no such thing as unity, there must be a faction that fights to the death, a faction that rides the wall, and a faction that surrenders.
And these factions will change, and it's not okay to kill those who will surrender in advance, because as the situation changes, new surrender factions will appear.
To put it mildly, there are some die-fighting factions who fight to the death because the situation does not allow surrender, and they originally wanted to surrender but could not get benefits.
Only the benefits given by the enemy are enough, and the conversion of the court is faster than anyone else.
This is the reason why the so-called long-term defense must be lost, those powerful generals who defend the city, in addition to being relatively strong militarily, are usually political strongmen, and can settle internal differences.
Is there such a person in Luoyang City now?
Yes!
But there is no power.
And those who have power have their own ideas in their hearts, it is okay for Empress Dowager He to play palace fighting, it would be a joke to let her deal with these things.
The main battle in the city is naturally the Taiping Army, in addition to the Taiping Army, those top wealthy families also oppose Dong Zhuo's entry into the city, especially the opposition of the Yuan family.
"We don't know what the consequences of Dong Zhuo's entry into the city will be, and we must not take risks.
The news of the death of the Lord of Heaven will go everywhere, and the news of Dong Zhuo's siege of Luoyang will also soon spread throughout the prefectures and counties, and at that time, there will naturally be righteous people in the world who will lead troops.
At that time, even if Dong Zhuo really has some bad intentions, there are still people who can restrain him. ”
Who is this so-called righteous man?
Everyone knows that now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family have returned to their hometown in Runan, and the other has entered Jizhou, isn't this just waiting for their own people to enter Luoyang?
But many people don't speak, after all, you are not the only one in this world.
Now in this situation, I don't believe that Zhaocheng Luoshi can still sit firmly in Diaoyutai.
And although our family is not as prominent as your Yuan family, it is not muddy, and it is uncertain who will get the benefits in the end.
Thinking so in their hearts, these people agreed with the opinions of the head of the Yuan family one by one, and the big dramas in Luoyang City were constantly being staged.
These ministers who are outside do not want to let Dong Zhuo into the city, at least until their foreign aid arrives, and those who have not been able to get benefits before, or the courtiers who have always stood on the opposite side of these main battle parties, do not want to see their family reputation become more and more prominent, and are ready to find a way to introduce Dong Zhuo into the city to break the current situation that cannot be reversed.
As for whether letting Dong Zhuo in will lead to the destruction of Luoyang, no one thinks about this problem at all, this is the holy city of Luoyang, which is a city built by Emperor Su himself, at most it is to loot, who dares to make a pretentious effect on the city?
Besides, even Zhang Jiao didn't loot when he entered the city, even if Dong Zhuo was shameless, he was always Hanchen, and he couldn't even be a rebel like Zhang Jiao... People are inferior, right?
If he really did that kind of thing, who would be convinced of him?
Didn't he want to establish a stable rule in Luoyang City?
……
The Xiliang army showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent combat ability, and several counterattacks by the Luoyang City army out of the city were repulsed without causing any damage to the Xiliang army.
Along with the Xiliang army, there were also a large number of siege equipment, weapons and equipment and spare troops, and a large number of cannon fodder was sent to the city wall to consume the city's armament.
The three-day onslaught made Luoyang City seem to tremble, the Xiliang Army did not waver in the slightest, after the onslaught, the Xiliang Army briefly began to repair, Luoyang City took a breath of relief, and then received a letter from the Xiliang Army.
"This duke is from Liangzhou, the first emperor gave him trust, and His Majesty gave him a heavy responsibility, how can I not be grateful!
Bengong led 500,000 Liangzhou athletes, ran for 2,000 miles, galloped day and night, and came to Luoyang City, is it for the so-called powerful position?
That's really underestimating Bengong, Bengong is to revive the Han Sheji and revitalize the Dahan Temple!
The Queen Mother is the mother of the emperor, how respectful is your status?
After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he respected you as the queen mother, and canonized the two princes as kings.
But I didn't expect that there would be a treacherous person to provoke the relationship between you and the emperor, where in this world is there a reason why the eldest son is still alive and the eldest son is still alive, but let the second son succeed to the throne?
Isn't this the Heavenly Dao Compendium taught by the sages?
Chen Zhuo fought for Gangchang, why was he reprimanded?
Isn't this a rebellion by wicked people?
Zhuo also believed that the vast majority of the princes of the imperial court were loyal to the imperial court, and after that Zhang Jiao entered the city of Luoyang, he slaughtered on a large scale, but he heard that the slaughterers were all traitors who befriended the ten permanent servants, so it must be that the princes were innocent.
But is there anything missing?
Otherwise, Zhuo took 500,000 soldiers and civilians from Liangzhou to protect His Majesty back to the imperial capital, but why would he be blocked?
Isn't this deliberately the case?
We were born on the border, and there was some dissatisfaction in the army.
So I wanted to enter Luoyang City and find out the traitors who framed us with my own hands, so I made this decision.
Please also ask the queen mother, the king, and the princes not to care. ”
On the one hand, the letter tells about the strength of the Xiliang Army in a slightly strong tone, and on the other hand, it tells the Xiliang Army in a soft attitude that it wants to save the Han and is willing to work with the princes to make the Han great again!
It's just that some traitors in the court tried in vain to stop it, and even coerced the queen mother, so that the two sides met each other, which was a conspiracy of traitors.
After this letter, the haze in the city became even more serious, although Dong Zhuo was a warrior from the border county, but at least so far, he had not done anything particularly out of the ordinary, and everyone was not wary of him.
Only some people who have been in contact with Dong Zhuo know that this person is brutal, and many people who have worked with Dong Zhuo at the beginning have a low opinion of him.
For the first time, there was a speech in support of Dong Zhuo in the imperial court, which was a rather bad sign, and it was quickly suppressed, and the three of them also received a letter from Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo apologized to the three of them in the letter, saying that it was the misunderstanding caused by the subordinates who did not know that Zhang Jiao did not cause trouble in Luoyang, and what moved the three of them the most was Dong Zhuo's words, "Three heroes, Zhuo has a word."
The three of them are all Taiping soldiers anyway, but ask yourself, what do you think the court ministers think of you from the bottom of their hearts?
Do you think they'll really see you as their own?
Even the Queen Mother you are protecting now, does she really trust you very much?
It's just because I have to rely on you now, and I'm afraid that they will still call you thieves when you can't see them.
Could this be that Zhuo is deliberately sowing discord?
Zhuo is Hanchen, who has worked hard in the border county for more than ten years, and has made many contributions, but who am I in the mouth of those ministers?
It's a barbarian-like Takeshi of the border county!
The three of you are above the court, and Zhuo doesn't believe that they don't have a grand contempt for Zhuo, which is definitely not a lie.
Even an innocent Hanchen like me was looked down upon because he was out of the county around me, how could your Taiping Army's identity be accepted?
Even if you don't want to join my Liangzhou, why should you let your brothers die in order to protect those ministers?
Where in the world is there any empathy?
Only those of us who have been discriminated against can best understand each other's feelings!
If Zhuo Neng enters Luoyang City, all your power will not be moved, your army will be returned to your command, and the glory and wealth will still be endless.
Zhuo Yan is all here, and I also ask the three heroes to think carefully. ”
Dong Zhuo's words were simply stabbing the hearts of the three of them with a knife, and those who didn't want to believe it, but had to admit it, were all turned out bloodily by Dong Zhuo.
"What should I do?"
