Chapter 205: Mixed reactions from all sides
General Zhengxi, Marquis of Xixiang, Yingchuan Taishou Xuan, rebellious general, Wucheng Marquis, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian spread the world, although the text is only Wei Xuan and Sun Jian's joint name, but in the eyes of the world, the Kwantung coalition finally has a response to Dong Zhuo's killing of the Taifu family.
However, the reaction to the Eighteenth Route Alliance and Dong Zhuo's court was mixed, so Wang Yun, who moved to Chang'an with the Son of Heaven, also specially sent his subordinate Wang Ling to Yangzhai, and when Wang Ling arrived, Wei Xuan had just received the news two days ago, and the joint document had just been issued, so Wang Yun should have sent someone because Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Taifu's entire family. Wei Xuan was thinking of sending someone to comfort Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and asked them to march together. However, to Wei Xuan's surprise, Wang Ling conveyed Wang Yun's meaning that he hoped that Wei Xuan would not be threatened by Dong Zhuo.
Because he is a relative, Wei Xuan met Wang Ling in his own study in Taishou Mansion, Wang Ling is three years younger than Wei Xuan, and after seeing the ceremony, Wang Ling said: "Uncle explained before leaving, saying that Cai Gong of Chang'an Imperial Court is indispensable now. Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, he seems to respect Cai Gong very much. Uncle is now Situ and Shang Shuling, and he has also won Dong Zhuo's trust. Wei Xuan nodded, he left someone in Luoyang, Cai Yan and Cai Yong also often exchanged letters, and he knew many things. In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo was appointed as the secretary, specializing in court politics, and heard about Cai Yong's fame, so he recruited him, and Cai Yong said that he was sick and could not go. Dong Zhuo was furious and scolded: "I have the power to destroy the family, even if Cai Yong is proud, it is just a matter of turning his feet." He also urgently ordered the state and county to recruit Cai Yong to the mansion. Cai Yong had no choice but to respond to the order and was appointed as the acting sacrificial wine, which was very respected by Dong Zhuo. He was also raised as a high rank, and successively served as the imperial history, the imperial history, and the book, and traversed it within three days. He was also promoted to the Taishou of Bajun and was retained as a servant.
At the beginning of this year, Cai Yong was worshiped as the general of Zuo Zhonglang, moved the capital to Chang'an with the emperor and the imperial court, and was named the Marquis of Gaoyang, Dong Zhuo's guests and subordinates wanted the imperial court to respect Dong Zhuo compared with the Taigong, called Dong Zhuo's father, Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong's opinion, Cai Yong said: "Taigong auxiliary Zhou, was ordered to destroy the Shang, so the special name is Taigong." Although your virtue is high now, compared to Father Shang, I don't think it's good. Wait until the Kanto region is pacified and His Majesty returns to the old capital, and then the matter will be discussed. Dong Zhuo listened to him.
From this, it can be seen that the East Asian cooperation did not reduce its trust in Cai Yong because of the existence of Wei Xuan. So at least for the time being he's safe!
As far as Wei Xuan knows, Hu Lai and Cai Yong have also persuaded Dong Zhuo many times, in fact, he and many people avoid the fire, presumably Wei Xuan admires Cai Yong even more. This thinks that the great demon king also needs someone to guide him to goodness. Cai Yong has a straightforward personality, and it is indeed a huge risk to be able to stay by the side of President Donghu, but as long as he is willing, no one can persuade Cai Yong.
Wei Xuan remembered that the history books recorded that in June of the second year of Chuping, there was an earthquake, and Dong Zhuo asked Cai Yong about this. Cai Yong said to him: "The earth movement is caused by the invasion of the yang by the yin and the subordinates who do not abide by the state system. In the suburbs of the spring before the ceremony, the public car was driven, and the Jinhua green cover was taken, and the claws were painted two boxes, which were considered inappropriate from far and near. ”
Dong Zhuo then changed to a soap-covered car. Dong Zhuo values Cai Yong's talent and learning, and is very polite to him, and when a banquet is held, Cai Yong often cheers Cai Yong's drum and piano, and Cai Yong also has the heart to contribute. But Dong Zhuo has a stubborn personality, and Cai Yong's words of hatred for himself are rarely adopted by Dong Zhuo, and he said to his younger brother Cai Gu: "Dong Gong has a strong personality and is easy to do evil, and he can't succeed after all." I want to go east, but the road is too far to reach, so I plan to escape to Shandong for a while, how about it? Of course, Cai Yong also thought about leaving Chang'an and leaving the action to find his son-in-law Wei Xuan, but he was not a military general, but a scholar was more than 1,500 miles away.
Wang Ling continued: "My uncle was originally Henan Yin, and after moving the capital, Dong Zhuo wanted to take his uncle as his situ, plus he also received the Shangshu Order, except for the military, the government affairs were in the hands of his uncle. So my uncle said that he was also safe, and hoped that my brother-in-law would not think of the two of them. Fierce soldiers and horses welcome the return of the Son of Heaven as soon as possible. ”
Wang Yun is optimistic that he can defeat Dong Zhuo, and he shouted out to take the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, although it may just be words of encouragement, but it shows that he Wang Yun is not afraid of being remembered and retaliated by Dong Zhuo. It's right to think about it, if Dong Zhuo implicates Wang Yun because of Diao Chan's relationship, then Cai Yong and Pei Ye can't escape, then Dong Zhuo is not brutal but crazy.
Thinking of Wang Yun, Wei Xuan naturally thought of the beauty plan, but looking at the son of the Taiyuan Wang family who was only seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him, Wei Xuan didn't know whether to say it or not, and he still looked at Wang Ling for a while and said, "??????????????? Yanyun, after returning to Chang'an, please tell your father-in-law that you can't be in a hurry about the reversal of Dong. However, Lu Bu and Xiliang soldiers and horses are inseparable, and they may be able to find a way from this aspect, such as using one or two stunning beauties to separate Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others. ”
Wang Ling looked at Wei Xuan with wide eyes when he heard this, and then said curtly: "Uncle is trying to start from here, he seems to have reached a consensus with His Majesty, and is ready to let the eldest princess ......"
This time it was Wei Xuan's turn to widen his eyes, he didn't expect Wang Yun to send Diao Chan to himself, and he still thought about the beauty plan to deal with Dong Zhuo, and what he didn't expect was that he actually said that he moved the Son of Heaven and the eldest princess Liu Jing. Think about it, the eldest princess is entangled between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and the effect of separation is obviously more effective than a nominal daughter in Wang Yun's mansion! It's just that the royal family wants to lose face.
It's a pity that the eldest princess, the dignified royal princess actually has to serve the tiger and wolf! And it is to be entangled between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. But the emperor didn't have any soldiers and horses, and neither did Wang Yun, and Wei Xuan couldn't count him as foreign aid. This trick is really ruthless, if other beauties are not Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo may have used it and given it to Lu Bu, but the princess's words are reluctant, not the posture of the eldest princess, but her noble identity. I'm afraid every man can't let go.
Wei Xuan thought about it and felt that Dong Zhuo was indeed very difficult, he was still leading troops in Luoyang to resist the Eighteenth Route rebels, and the Son of Heaven and Situ in Chang'an had already begun to calculate him and Lu Bu. Come to think of it, Dong Zhuo is not crazy, but he is also a man with tenacious willpower.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo used his actions to tell the world that he was not crazy, and after killing Yuan Kui's entire clan, he did not replace him himself, but worshiped Liu Yu, the great Sima and Youzhou pastor, as the prince, but the road was cut off and the edict did not arrive.
When the news reached Weixuan, he knew that Dong Zhuo had started to play politics again, so he sent people to urge Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to make plans as soon as possible and strive to settle the battle before the fall.
However, there was no response, I don't know if it was because of the grief transition or because I didn't want to fight, anyway, the 18th Route Coalition just didn't act. Even Yuan Shao, who was roasted on the fire by Wei Xuan, just let out a meal of anger in public, scolded Wei Xuan for a while, and then died down. The strategists were tired of persuasion, and Yuan Shao directly threw down a sentence: "If you want to build an immortal cause, go to Yangzhai to join Wei Zhongdao!" ”
After Yuan Shu received Wei Xuan and Sun Jian's papers, he threw them directly on the ground, and then let people burn them directly. He didn't take Yuan Shao's orders seriously, let alone Sun Jian, a traitor to Jingzhou who broke away from him.
However, after Cao Cao, who had returned from recruiting troops in Yangzhou, received the letters from Wei Xuan and Sun Jian, he immediately sent someone to inform Wei Xuan quickly, hoping that Wei Xuan could delay the dispatch time a little and wait for him to return to Suozao with his troops. Cao Cao told Wei Xuan in his letter that he only brought back 6,000 men and horses this time, but they were all elites in Yangzhou, but they were definitely not the enemies of Xu Rong in front of him, so he planned to ask Yuan Shao to borrow some soldiers and horses or go directly to Hanoi to join forces with Yuan Shao.
After receiving Cao Cao's letter, Wei Xuan sighed that those who can achieve great things, such as Cao Cao and Sun Jian, must be more and more courageous in the face of difficulties! Just like the ancestor of the eternal generations said, there are conditions to go up, and there are no conditions to create conditions.
If the Yuan Shao brothers are too selfish, looking forward and looking backwards, and not being able to judge the current situation, they will definitely not be able to achieve a big thing.
Comparing Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Wei Xuan thought of a sentence, the times create heroes, but more importantly, heroes make ??????????????? Times. Yuan Shao is a hero created by the times, and the same is true of Wang Yun later. And Cao Cao is the hero who can take advantage of the current situation and create the current situation, and make a judgment!
As for sour jujubes, such as Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, and Tao Qian, don't mention them.
The coalition forces have not moved for a long time, but Dong Zhuo's side has made frequent moves. The Chang'an court sent an envoy group headed by Han Rong, divided into three routes, to try to persuade Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Wei Xuan to quit their troops.
Dahonglu Han Rong, Shaofu Yin Xun, Jinwu Hu Mu Ban, Wu Xun, the general master craftsman, Wang Xuan, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, Jia Xu, and Yuan Shao and other armies. Dong Zhuo gave a big step and said that as long as the Eighteenth Route Coalition returned to its territory, he would not blame the past and give everyone a knighthood.
Yuan Shao assigned Wang Kuang to kill Hu Muban, Wang Huang, Wu Xun and others, Wang Kuang was indeed loyal to Yuan Shao, and Hu Muban was his brother-in-law. Yuan Shu also hunted and killed Yin Xun, and only Han Rong was spared death because of his high morality.
Wei Xuan seriously suspected that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill people with a knife, which not only got rid of dissidents, but also let the princes see Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu kill important ministers of the court to vent their anger. makes the already embarrassing image of the coalition even more unbearable!
Just imagine, if the scholars who had nothing to do with Yuan Shao and others before saw that the Yuan Shao brothers were indifferent when they saw Dong Zhuo kill the Yuan clan in Chang'an, and Wei Xuan called on the world's heroes to avenge Taifu, the two of them would still be indifferent. Now that the court is courting, you can not agree, but how innocent are those ministers who were forced to come by Dong Zhuo?
Of course, careful people found that Dong Zhuo did not send people to surrender to the sour jujube with the most people, Dong Zhuo seemed to tell the sour jujube coalition and the people of the world bluntly that he didn't care about these rabble, and he would definitely scatter. This is also a heavy blow to those thick-skinned sour jujube coalition forces!
It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's surrender was not a futile move, but a deliberate attempt to completely crush the Kwantung coalition army step by step. It's a pity that the Yuan Shao brothers can't see it clearly, and the sour jujube coalition doesn't care! That's what the so-called one by one breaks.
Of course, what is even more unexpected is that Dong Zhuo's big move is still behind, and it is Dong Zhuo who is behind that completely crushed the sour jujube coalition army, and even the hearts of the people in Hebei have completely dispersed.
