Chapter 172: Pie in the Sky

——I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and a healthy family! ——

Dong Zhuo was a little unhappy to be interrupted at a critical moment, but he also knew Wei Xuan's attitude, Wei Xuan was a scholar after all, and he had no stake in Dong Hou, and it was impossible to follow him to do the big thing of abolishing the establishment for no reason, which was also understandable.

Dong Zhuo was silent for a while and said: "Thank you Zhongdao for reminding me, but I don't know if the old man follows Yihuo's example, I don't know how Zhongdao chooses." ”

Wei Xuan was depressed, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to ask it, and he wanted to force himself to express his position.

After pondering for a while, Wei Xuan looked up at Dong Zhuo and said, "This matter is difficult to do, and it will not end well in the end." Although the Wei family is friendly with the general, they don't want to be exterminated. Xuan also asked the general to think twice. ”

Wei Xuan's this is also very straightforward, although it is very cool to do the abolition, but once you lose power and wait, you will be exterminated.

The expression on Dong Zhuo's face froze, and he asked for a long time, "Then what does Zhongdao plan to do in the future?" ”

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Xuan was originally a well-known recruit for the general, but now that the general is dead, if the imperial court has no other arrangements,??????????????? Xuan could only bring the men and horses back to Yingchuan, disband them on the spot, and let them return home. Xuan will then resign and return to his hometown. ”

Of course, Dong Zhuo didn't believe that Wei Xuan would be like this, but Wei Xuan was also showing an attitude in disguise, that is, he didn't plan to participate in the political struggle of the Luoyang court, so he laughed, got up from his seat and said, "Why is this so, why is this so?" Zhongdao, you are both civil and military, and you have made great contributions to the community, and this afternoon's chaos is the time to employ people, Qingxu Yellow Turban, Liangzhou Qiang people, and Montenegrin thieves need young generals like Zhongdao You know how to fight and fight. ”

Wei Xuan also stood up and said modestly: "The general has an overreputation, what Xuan dealt with before was just some rabble, and he just won a few games by luck." The general has experienced a hundred battles, and the soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely succeed if they send a team of men and horses. Most of the recruits recruited by Xuan in Yuzhou are recruits, and some of them are guests of the Wei family, if it is possible, they may take them back to Hedong. ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Wei Xuan very seriously, and then slowly sat down and changed his words: "The old man heard that Zhong Dao and Yuan Benchu have a deep friendship? ”

is still tempting, Dong Zhuo is also quite tenacious, Wei Xuan did not avoid his gaze and said directly: "Yes, Xuan is a scholar, and he is a natural enemy with the eunuch, whoever opposes the eunuch, Xuan naturally associates with him." ”

Wei Xuan originally wanted to add that, but that would make him too soft, and it was not an unsightly thing for him to associate with Yuan Shao, since he didn't plan to rely on Dong Zhuo, nor did he plan to support Dong Zhuo, there was no need to cut off Yuan Shao and the others in front of Dong Zhuo. That would make Dong Zhuo look down on him.

Dong Zhuo saw that he couldn't get Wei Xuan's words, thought about it and said: "Since Zhongdao is here, let's stay in Luoyang first, before Zhang Rang and others killed the general, and then the general's troops and Yuan Benchu and others killed the eunuchs, and now there are many high-ranking vacancies inside and outside the court, and the old man knows not many famous people when he first comes to Beijing. ”

Dong Zhuo's words were polite to Wei Xuan, but he did not hide his idea of wanting to control the court at all. It can be regarded as a kind of trust in Wei Xuan, and he clearly ran out of the olive branch.

Wei Xuan wanted to say, you just control the emperor and the army, and then arrange it according to your own preferences, don't wronged your own people, and don't fall for the scholars, divide the celebrities and scholars to the Kanto region and then cooperate to crusade against you.

However, Wei Xuan felt that his position should not be said, so he turned around and said: "The general's reputation on the battlefield has been admired by Xuan for a long time, and I only hope that the general will not forget his original intention after entering the court, and do not treat the people badly at any time, the court is like a big boat, and the people are water." Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat! ”

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Zhongdao is worthy of being a disciple of Kang Chenggong, a good water can carry a boat and capsize a boat!" The old man was taught. ”

Wei Xuan hurriedly explained: "Xuan opened his mouth and said nonsense, please don't be strange to the general, if there is nothing else, please resign!" ”

Of course, Dong Zhuo still has a lot to say, but he also knows that it is not a compatible thing to successfully win over Wei Xuan, young people are easily affected by emotions, and it is better to suspend it for the time being.

Wei Xuan took Dian Wei and others directly back to his mansion in the south of the city, and in the next few days, Wei Xuan often met with Cao Cao and others, but Bao Xin really took people back the next day as he said. And how ??????????????? are Cao Cao and Wei Xuan asked to see Yuan Shao and persuaded him to do something to Dong Zhuo earlier, but Yuan Shao has always been hesitant. was so angry that Cao Cao and Wei Xuan scolded him behind his back, Yuan Benchu Hao was indecisive, and Wei Xuan didn't remember whether he said it first or Cao Cao said it first. Later, Cao Cao even persuaded Wei Xuan to leave this place early.

During this time, Dong Zhuo was not idle, on the one hand, he constantly sent his Liangzhou soldiers and horses to Luoyang, and on the other hand, he did not forget to promote himself, and soon Dong Zhuo was worshiped as a hussar general.

On the seventh day of Wei Xuan's arrival in Luoyang, the imperial court's arrangements for Ding Yuan came down, and Ding Yuan, the commander of Wu Mengdu, was the ruling Jinwu, and Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses were as expected by how he was angry, only 5,000 cavalry, in fact, these were not all of Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, but because of the rush of time, some infantry stayed in Taiyuan.

Dong Zhuo was very depressed when he learned that Ding Yuan had clearly defected to Yuan Shao, he knew that Qiao Mao in Dongjun was also from the Shiren Group, and Wei Xuan in the east of the city had made it clear that he would not support him in abolishing the establishment. However, in order to win Wei Xuan, he still kept sending Xu Rong to visit Wei Xuan, and promised many benefits. Wei Xuan was just silent.

Finally, when Taifu Yuan Kui, Sili Lieutenant Yuan Shao, Henan Yin Wangyun and others successively wrote to ask for Wei Xuan's achievements in recruiting, training and suppressing bandits in Yuzhou, as well as the merits of King Qin this time, Dong Zhuo also took action.

Wei Xuan waited for another five days, waiting for a result that everyone did not expect, Cao Cao once said that he would ask Yuan Shao to come forward for Wei Xuan to ask for a visit to the capital county. Yuan Shao and others did the same, and then Dong Zhuo was more generous, and directly worshiped Yingchuan Taishou Pei Yewei Shaofu, Feng Weixuan as the Marquis of Xixiang, and worshiped the thief captain Wei Xuan as the thief general, and led Yingchuan Taishou.

Except for the townsman, who should have been canonized by Wei Xuan when he exterminated the Baibo Army in Hedong before, the others greatly exceeded Wei Xuan's total and fame. Dong Zhuo's generosity not only exceeded Wei Xuan's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of Yuan Shao and others, and even suspected that Wei Xuan had taken refuge in Dong Zhuo in private, so he hurriedly sent Cao Cao to find Wei Xuan. Wei Xuan did not hide that he told some of the conversations between Dong Zhuo and himself that day. Although Cao Cao believed in Wei Xuan, he was also worried about Dong Zhuo's move.

Wei Xuan understood in his heart that Dong Zhuo not only showed his attitude of winning over Wei Xuan, but also wanted to separate himself from Yuan Shao and others, and promoted Pei Ye to show that although he was a martial artist, he still had a good relationship with the famous families in Hedong. Regardless of whether it can be done or not, plus a thief general, although it is a miscellaneous general, Dong Zhuo is sure that Wei Xuan will definitely bring more than 3,000 elites to Yingchuan, even if all the previous plans fail, but Wei Xuan's soldiers leave Luoyang as soon as possible to loosen his ties to Dong Zhuo! Cao Cao's concern about this also shows that he also sees this.

Wei Xuanke didn't care what Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao thought, since Yuan Shao didn't dare to fight Dong Zhuo and had a place to go, he didn't plan to continue to stay in Luoyang, after receiving the edict, he went to meet the three dukes and nine kings of the imperial court according to the usual practice and was ready to set off for Yingchuan.

Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo are fellow villagers, and Dong Zhuo is a hussar general who controls most of Luoyang, so the weight is naturally not comparable to Wei Xuan and Wei Xuan.

Of course, Wei Xuan feels that the key is that the big man is not completely finished yet, at least on the surface, Dong Zhuo's cross-cutting and domineering is only gradually revealed.

Unable to take Jia Xu away, Wei Xuan wanted to pry Xun You away again, but then he understood that Xun You was a chess piece placed by the Xun family in Luoyang, and he was not in ??????????????? Depending on the size of the official position, it is necessary to have dealings with the three princes and nine secretaries and officials. Sure enough, when he met Xun You, Wei Xuan wanted to invite him back to his hometown to serve, but Xun You politely declined.

The people in Luoyang can't dig up, and the people inside Wei Xuan also need to be sorted out, the most important thing is Zhang Liao, the military marquis of the He Jin era, although he was now promoted by Wei Xuan to the left army Sima, but Zhang Liao's old boss Ding Yuan also came to Luoyang and became the ruling Jinwu.

When Wei Xuan called Zhang Liao to his mansion alone to ask his opinion, Zhang Liao did not hesitate to express his attitude of following Wei Xuan. This made Wei Xuan very happy, whether it was the credit of Congmei's sister or the performance on Yique that day, as long as Zhang Liao was willing to return to Yingchuan, Ding Yuan would soon be killed by Dong Zhuo, and Wei Xuan would not have to worry about Zhang Liao's cannon from now on.

3,600 people traveled more than 500 miles from Yangzhai to bring Luoyang, and on the surface they didn't do anything, but in fact, their existence was the biggest capital for Wei Xuan to participate in politics. Therefore, Wei Xuan is proud of his pocket, and every soldier, including auxiliaries, is rewarded with at least 2,000 yuan.

When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw each other off again in Shili Pavilion, Yuan Shao actually regretted it a little, because he saw that Wei Xuan's army was neat and fully armed, and it was elite at first glance, and its combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than that of the five battalions of Beijun! And as time went by, he also knew that the soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo brought to Luoyang at the beginning were actually very limited, and there were soldiers and horses arriving one after another. Moreover, in the battle in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo's cavalry did not have an advantage, if he chose to follow the advice of Cao Cao and Wei Xuan and others at that time, he would not have completely expelled Dong Zhuo at this moment.

Of course, this kind of regret may be fleeting, and Yuan Shao is still having a dream at this moment, that is, the dream of the scholar group represented by the Yuan family to take charge of the government! However, the stronger the military strength shown by Wei Xuan, the more obvious Yuan Shao's intention to win over him.

Wei Xuan also had a lot of places to cooperate with Yuan Shao until the alliance of the princes against Dong Zhuo was dissolved, but before leaving, he still reminded Yuan Shao: "Although Dong Hussars are strong and strong, Si Li should not forget that Huangfu Gong also has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and Gai Jingzhao also has 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands." ”

Wei Xuan's meaning is also obvious, Si Li, don't be cowardly, just do it with Dong Zhuo and his daughters, but there are still Huangfu Song and Gai Xun.
