Chapter 171: Dong Zhuo's Temptation
——I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and a healthy family! ——
Wei Xuan looked embarrassed to report the news, and said in his heart that not everyone is a nouveau riche like himself, and then forcibly packed the Yellow Turban Lux in Snail Mountain, and abducted more than 200 young people from Henan Qingxia and Xujia Village. In less than a year, more than 4,000 people were recruited, and all of them were armoured. Bao Xin only has more than a hundred cavalry, and he says that he is elite, and he may be vulnerable in front of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers. In other words, his subordinates are basically negligible.
At this time, He Hao answered another question from Wei Xuan for Yuan Shao: "The number of Wu Meng's lieutenant Ding Yuan's men and horses is not very clear, but it is estimated to be about five thousand. It's just that he used to be a confidant of the general, and he didn't have a relationship with us. In a hurry, it is difficult for him to make a decision. ”
He Hao's words meant that if he killed the eunuchs, Ding Yuan would definitely take revenge, but now he is dealing with Dong Zhuo, and he will not necessarily be on our side. After all, Ding Yuan is also a martial artist.
Wei Xuan thought for a while and said, "Si Li can ask Taifu to come forward and worship him as the ruling Jinwu." Then Si Like urged Qiaodong County to march quickly. It can be reached in two days. ”
???????????????? Cao Cao and the others suddenly realized that although Dong Zhuo had occupied the palace now, there was only Yuan Kui in the affairs of the book, and the nominal power of the court was still in the hands of Yuan Kui, so that the soldiers and horses of the three routes plus the soldiers and horses originally in the hands of Yuan Shao should be able to compete with or even expel Dong Zhuo.
It's just that in the eyes of everyone's expectation, Yuan Shao was still very embarrassed, glanced at Wei Xuan and said: "What Zhong Dao said is very true, and Shao will tell his uncle about it when he turns around." ”
This sentence again, Wei Xuan's heart was half cold, and he looked at Cao Cao and Bao Xin, who were also disappointed, and stopped talking. Later, everyone discussed for a while, and then they went out of Yuan's mansion. Wei Xuan has two houses in Luoyang, although Cai Yan went to Yangzhai, but he still left a few brothers in Luoyang, so he was ready to go home to see.
At this time, Cao Cao and Bao Xin caught up, and Bao Xin sighed and said, "Si Li seems to have no intention of expelling Dong Zhuo, and Xin will bring people back tomorrow." I don't know what Nakamichi is planning to do. ”
Wei Xuan smiled bitterly, what could he plan, he was ordered by the general to go to Yuzhou to recruit troops, and the establishment said that he was a Beijing official and was controlled by the general He Jin. Now that the first emperor and the general are dead, he is still a Beijing official, and it seems unreasonable to go back to Yangzhai. It doesn't seem like a problem to wait here. Three or four thousand people are too eye-catching and sensitive.
Cao Cao also saw Wei Xuan's embarrassment and comforted: "Zhongdao ordered troops to suppress bandits in Funiu Mountain before, which is meritorious, but the eunuch obstructed it and did not reward it, and now that the eunuch has been punished, I think Zhongdao should be able to go further, and the idea of Cao is similar to Yuncheng, and now the situation is very chaotic, Cao is a last resort, otherwise I want to slip away." Zhongdao might as well wait in Luoyang for a few days, and I will go and talk to Ben Chu and ask for a close approach to Jingda County for you. ”
Wei Xuan glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, but he was very embarrassed now, if he left, it would be unreasonable, even his uncle Pei Ye would not dare to take him in. If he doesn't leave, he may face Dong Zhuo to split and reorganize his army, and then give him a false title.
Cao Cao's meaning was to let Yuan Shao come out to face Wei Xuan to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, and arrange for him to be a county taishou close to the Beijing Division, so that even if the soldiers and horses were gone, at least there would be a real power official position.
So Wei Xuan bowed deeply to Cao Cao to express his gratitude.
Bao Xin seemed to remember to set up and whispered: "At the beginning, he led the troops into the palace on the same day, but nothing else, the other seals and objects of the Son of Heaven are there, but the jade seal of the country is missing, and it will be even worse if it is obtained by Dong Zhongying." ”
Wei Xuanyan was surprised when he heard this, Cao Cao also smiled bitterly and shook his head, the importance of the jade seal of the country is naturally self-evident in this era of paying attention to reputation and believing in the induction of heaven and man. Wei Xuan knew that the jade seal of Chuanguo was still in the palace, but he didn't know that it was in that well, but it was a pity that his actions controlled the palace now, otherwise he could have sent someone to find out.
Then the three separated, Wei Xuan took people to prepare to go to his mansion in the south of the city, but he was stopped by someone before he went far, and the person who came was an acquaintance, Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.
Seeing Xu Rong with a smile on his face, he knew that this was not a chance encounter, and sure enough, he heard Xu Rong say: "Captain Wei came so quickly, we are all cavalry and only arrived a few days ago, Rong heard that the general's edict to the captain was four or five days late." ”
Wei Xuan didn't know Xu Rong's intentions, and he felt that his previous interactions were not bad, so he said: "The general has an order, and Xuan naturally doesn't dare to slack off, but it's a pity that it's still late." ”
Xu Rong also restrained his smile and nodded: "Who said it wasn't." That's right???????????????? When the former general heard that the captain had arrived, he specially asked Rong to invite the captain. ”
Wei Xuanwen was slightly surprised, and sighed in his heart, who said that martial artists have no brains, go to find Yuan Shao by themselves, Yuan Shao seems to have no intention of dealing with Dong Zhuo at all, and Dong Zhuo heard that he was coming with troops but looked for himself everywhere, and looking for himself was naturally to talk about friendship and win over himself. In contrast, it makes sense that Dong Zhuo can win in the end. However, Dong Zhuo is a martial artist after all, and he is not tolerated by the scholar group, so it is impossible for him to defect to Dong Zhuo whether it is for the reputation of the Wei family or for his future future.
So he acted in his true colors, and said with a stunned face: "What did the former general command?" ”
Xu Rong shook his head: "Rong doesn't know, but the former general seems to value the captain very much, so the captain should go early." ”
Since he came to Luoyang, it was expected to meet Dong Zhuo, so he followed Xu Rong all the way. When Wei Xuan arrived in Luoyang with the army, it was already evening, and he went to Yuan Shao's mansion to delay for a while, and now Luoyang is already the first shift, but Luoyang is Ducheng, this time in the past is the time for the dignitaries to come out to activities, but today the road is quiet along the way, whether it is a house or a shop along the way, the door is closed, which makes people feel weird.
At this time, Dong Zhuo had not expanded further, and he still lived outside the palace, but from the garrisons inside and outside the palace and the location of the mansion he chose, it could be seen that this was a battle-hardened veteran. His team may also be limited in number, but he has a good control of the Luoyang Palace.
Wei Xuan asked curiously, "Xu Jun, how many soldiers and horses did the former general bring this time?" ”
Xu Rong shook his head: "The former general's edict began to prepare, and each ministry acted alone, and Rong didn't know how many people came to Luoyang. ”

Wei Xuan originally asked casually, although he had a little friendship with Xu Rong, it was not worth mentioning compared to Dong Zhuo.
When they arrived at Dong Zhuo's mansion, Wei Xuan's entourage was left outside the mansion, and only Dian Wei and Xu Chu were brought into the mansion together, and the guards at the gate of the mansion also wanted Dian Wei and Xu Chu to take off the sword and long knife they carried, but the two who had been hinted at before naturally refused, Xu Rong also helped to say a word, and the guards let them go.
Then Wei Xuan saw a big fat man in his fifties who was about seven feet eight inches tall and weighed more than three hundred pounds sitting upright, and when he saw Wei Xuan and others coming in, he stood up from his position very flexibly, walked a few steps quickly and held Wei Xuan's hands and smiled: "The old man finally saw Zhongdao you, haha, when the old man was in Hedong, I heard that the Wei family had a great offspring, but you were shameless when you were studying abroad with Kang Chenggong." Later, the Baibo Army got into trouble, and the old man thought that you should be in Anyi, and sure enough, you were there, but you didn't give the old man a chance, and before the old man arrived with the troops, you had already finished all the White Bo Army. Hahahaha...... Later, the old man heard that you used 300 cavalry to break 4,000 thieves a day in Xingyang, and what happened later in Funiu Mountain. It's enough to prove that Zhongdao is Wei Jiahu. I finally saw it today, and the old man is happy! ”
Dong Zhuo smiled very happily and sincerely, laughing and doing homely at the same time, but it made Wei Xuan's heart pound, Dong Zhuo said these words, it is nothing more than saying that Lao Tzu has a friendship with you, you are indeed very powerful, Lao Tzu wants to win you over! In this way, if you wait for Dong Zhuo to really speak out, if you refuse, you don't know what to do.
However, on the surface, Wei Xuan still had to greet him with a smile: "The prestige of the former general has also been famous for a long time, and the affairs of the Baibo Army are thanks to the general???????????????? The son-in-law, who later received a horse from the general several times, Xuanzheng wanted to thank the general in person, and he was very excited to see it today. ”
Dong Zhuo finally let go of Wei Xuan's retraction, sat down behind the desk and said with a smile: "Zhong Dao came very quickly this time." ”
Dong Zhuo had something to say, Wei Xuan was not good at being lazy, and hurriedly said: "The general has an order that Xuan dare not disobey, and later heard that the general had an accident and the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are unknown. It's just that no matter how fast the propaganda moves, it still can't catch up with the general. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Don't talk about the result, Zhongdao is infantry can come quickly, which shows that Zhongdao is sincere." It's a pity that the old man was escorting back to the palace, but there were many dignified gentlemen who tried to persuade the old man to withdraw from the army, and they did nothing, so that the Son of Heaven was left behind, but they wanted to stop the old man, which was really not a minister. ”
Wei Xuan was speechless, Dong Zhuoming first praised Wei Xuan's sincerity, but as soon as the words changed, he put on a high hat for himself, just to use Wei Xuan's reputation as King Qin to prove his loyalty to the emperor and the court.
Wei Xuan couldn't answer, because it was meaningless to evaluate Dong Zhuo's rights and wrongs, he was not a thin-skinned but upright celebrity like Cai Yong, he didn't care about what people thought at all, he only cared about his own purpose. Because Dong Zhuo has de facto controlled the Phantom Bow and the Emperor. The next thing is to rely on strength to speak, the reason why Dong Zhuo asked Xu Rong to invite him is nothing more than that he is the son of a famous family, the son of a master, and the commander of three or four thousand elite soldiers.
Sure enough, I heard Dong Zhuo continue: "The old man is also dissatisfied with Zhongdao, the old man saw the Son of Heaven that day and asked about the whole story, the Son of Heaven was incoherent, but King Chen Liuwang was very sure to tell the matter. The old man now understands why the first emperor has delayed the establishment of the crown prince. ”
Wei Xuan frowned and saw that Dong Zhuo Zhongyuan was about to say his true thoughts, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "The general started from Weiweimo, fought against the Yellow Turbans, suppressed the Huns, and attacked the Qiang people. General Xuan is happy, and Xuan also hopes that the general will not forget his original intention, and fight for the rest of his life to help the Han family and level the world! Don't be blinded by the flowers because you have entered the capital, you must know that there are still many people inside and outside the capital today, including Wu Mengduwei and Dongjun Taishou in the near distance, and Gai Jingzhao and Huangfu Gong in the distance! ”
