Chapter 238: Hunting for Righteousness with Injustice

It has been a few days since the Kwantung coalition army entered Luoyang, and in these few days, the city of Luoyang seems to be calm, and the princes are all loyal ministers who have entered the capital to protect the king. and there was no more war in the city.

But the treacherous clouds under the table make the people in it feel like thorns in their backs.

Nowadays, the princes in the city can be roughly divided into two factions, one of which is naturally the Kwantung Alliance, with Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, as the backbone and the Kwantung princes as the branches.

Among them, there are not only protégés of the Yuan family like Han Fu, but also playmates like Cao Cao who grew up with him since childhood, and more local princes like Kong Rong who came from famous families.

In short, the son of a family, the real Kwantung Alliance.

The other faction is naturally headed by Liu Bei, among which there is Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who is very close to him, and Lu Bu, who has interests in Bingzhou, and although he has never stated his position, once the two sides confront, it must be Nanyang Yuan Highway who stands on the opposite side of his brother Yuan Shao.

At a glance, most of the people led by Liu Bei started from the border fortress, and the three states of Liang were separated from Liangzhou, so they could also be regarded as a border alliance.

Now that many princes are in the same city, there is naturally little friction in private, but it is all in moderation, and both sides know that the other party will not really tear their faces.

After all, no one can afford to deliberately sabotage the alliance now.

These days, the princes are still reciprocating with each other, and it seems that these "little things" under the table have not affected the "deep" friendship between them.

Today, Liu Bei made an appointment with a few old people to visit Luoyang, or it is more appropriate to revisit the old place.

A few people rode horses in the city, visited a few places that they frequented in the past, and then came to the winehouse in the city.

Since returning to Luoyang, Liu Bei has often come here to clean in person, so although the wine house is still a little old, it is much cleaner than when he first came that day.

A few people stepped into the room, came to the same table where they used to drink together, and sat down.

The people at the same table, the Yuan brothers of Runan, Cao Cao of Qian County.

The remaining are two empty seats.

One belongs to Fu Xie, who has been dead for many years, and the other belongs to Han Yue, who has now changed his name to Han Sui.

Revisiting the old place, even Yuan Benchu, who has always been moody, has a sad look on his face.

In the past, everyone here was luxurious, but at that time, he was young, drinking and singing.

After many years, the people who are still sitting now are already big people who can shake the world by stomping their feet.

It's a pity that it's not like a juvenile tour after all.

Liu Bei stood up and went to the backyard to take out a jar of wine.

The few jars of wine he buried when he left Luoyang back then were only two jars after returning to Luoyang.

When he first entered Luoyang, he and Guan Yu drank an altar, so now only this altar is left in his hand.

Wine is naturally good wine, but it is not just good wine.

Seeing Liu Bei come out with wine, the three people sitting in the seat had different expressions.

Liu Bei sat down and poured a bowl for each person, even in front of the two empty seats, they were still full of wine.

Liu Bei glanced at a few people and said with a smile: "The people who drank here back then are now famous all over the world, which can be regarded as fulfilling our ambitions back then, and it is not in vain for our drinks back then."

In the past, the six people who sat together are now all famous all over the world.

Life or death.

Yuan Shu remembered those stories of the ancients, and couldn't help sighing, "The world is unpredictable, who would have thought that Fu Nanrong would die at the hands of Han Wenyue."

The people who drank together in the past, Yuan Shu and Fu Xie were actually the most speculative, they were also from famous families, and they were also contaminated with a lot of righteousness, but they didn't want Fu Xie to die at the hands of their friends back then, which is also very ironic.

The other three were silent.

The three of them actually knew it well, even Yuan Shu knew it very well in his heart, a person like Fu Xie, no matter who died in anyone's hands, would actually die sooner or later.

In such troubled times, those who can tolerate ambitious heroes can tolerate them

The strategists who play tricks can't tolerate a truly loyal person like Fu Xie.

The more troubled the times, the more so.

In the past, there were six people here, and the only one who passed away was the real loyal minister of the Han family.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Fu Nanrong begged for benevolence, but it can be said that he died well, and it is not easy. Although those of us sitting here today can live a few more days, our reputation in the future may not be as good as Nanrong."

Several people were silent, and they all knew that Cao Cao meant something.

Liu Bei laughed in his heart, and the few people sitting here will indeed not be good in history in the future.

Liu Bei restrained his thoughts and said, "Today's revisit to the old place is just to relive the old friendship of the past, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Yuan Shao also smiled and said: "What Xuande said is good, it's rare to get together to drink now, don't talk about other things today, just drink."

Yuan Shu drank all the wine in the bowl by himself, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then said, "How can a jar of wine be enough to drink like this? Xuande, is it because he looks down on me, can't wait? Or are you now rich, but you are stingy?"

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this: "I have long known that you Yuan Highway would have such words, I have asked Yun Chang to buy wine, and today we will not get drunk and return."

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Wine can help talents, I can't say that I can't drink to the fullest, and today I can make a poem that will be handed down to the world."

Yuan Shao smiled and raised his hand to raise the wine bowl in his hand.

On this day, all four of them were drunk.

………………

Luoyang to the west, related to the name Tongguan, is a good place to open a husband.

Dong Zhuo did not rush to Chang'an after he coerced the Son of Heaven to go west from Luoyang, but stopped in Tongguan.

He originally wanted to wait here for Hu Zhen and others to come and join the troops, and then leave some men to guard the Hangu Valley to resist the Kwantung coalition army, so that he could lead the army west with peace of mind.

I didn't want to stay for many days, so I didn't wait for Hu Zhen and the others, but waited for the news that Xu Rong rebelled, Hu Zhen was killed by him, and the princes' coalition army had occupied Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo stayed up all night after getting the news, and hurriedly convened the meeting of the lieutenant general and colonel the next day, and specially ordered someone to bring in Li Ru, who had not appeared in front of him for a long time.

"Presumably, you all know the news of the loss of Luoyang." Dong Zhuo's face was gloomy, "Now that the alliance of the princes is approaching, how do you think you should deal with it next?"

Guo Yan was the first to speak: "Although the alliance of princes has occupied Luoyang now, according to the last general, they may not send troops to the west."

Several Liangzhou generals in the hall all nodded and agreed with Guo Yan's statement.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru on the side, "What does Wen You think?"

Li Ru raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, and said with a smile, "The princes will definitely come west."

"In the past, the Kwantung princes advanced from the southeast side to the south, and then the eastern princes were repeatedly defeated, and they were stuck in the Tiger Pass, but they lost a lot of face. If the south is also the same as them, it will be forgotten, but the coalition army in the south is like a bamboo, judging from the battle report, this time it is also Liu Bei and others in the south who occupy Luoyang to take the lead. Even if Yuan Benchu and the others can endure it again, they have to do something now."

Even if Dong Zhuo didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Li Ru said was reasonable.

He asked again, "What does Wen You think should happen next?"

Li Ru was silent for a long time and sighed, "Don't blame me for saying too much, now only by subduing one person, the army staying here can have a chance to cross the Guanxi, otherwise I am afraid that I will sit in the city of sorrow and will not be able to advance or retreat."

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, "What are you talking about, is it the Emperor Fu Yizhen who is now stationed in Fufeng and has not been edicted for a long time?"

Li Ru nodded, "Now that Huangfu Songtun is stationed in Fufeng, although the number of troops is not much, it has blocked the main road from Tongguan to the west. In addition, Huangfu Song has always been good at using troops, even if he is not in danger and fights with the same strength, I am afraid that even if Xiangguo personally commands the army, he may not be this person's opponent."

Dong Zhuo was not angry when he heard this, and he naturally knew that Huang Fu Song's generals were well known, and he also obeyed Huang Fu Song's orders when he went west to Liangzhou, although the two of them later

There are some dirty things, but Dong Zhuo has always admired Huangfu Song's military strategy.

However, compared with this person's military strategy, he is more clear about this person's temperament, "I'm just afraid that Wen You will be too worried." Although Huangfu Song is not bad, this person is the most afraid of things coming to the door. Before He Jin died, this person was across the river from us, and he still didn't dare to attack, so he could only watch us capture Luoyang? Therefore, although this man has a strategy, he is not enough to accomplish it."

He remembered something again, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor passed away and left a wife, and now he is still young and beautiful, and I don't know if I can see it this time."

The tent will burst into laughter.

Li Ru shook his head and sighed, "Xiangguo still has to think twice, if Xiangguo is still in Luoyang, he will naturally not dare to think about it. It's just that now that he is trapped in Hangu and has lost his ground, he should still send his henchmen to recruit this person before the news of Luoyang being occupied by the coalition forces reaches Chang'an, otherwise I am afraid that there will be changes later."

Although Dong Zhuo looked down on Huangfu Song between his words, he felt that this person's heart was not enough to achieve great things, but now that he was sitting in the city of sorrow, he couldn't help but use some thoughts to compromise one or two.

He looked at everyone in the hall one by one, and finally looked at Li Ru, who spoke before, "This kind of tight matter, I'm afraid that Wen You will have to go in person."

Li Ru was not surprised at all, he was indeed the only one who could be sent here.

He burped, raised his hand to dissipate the wine, and said with a smile, "Confucianism dares to disobey?"

---------

The western capital is Chang'an.

In the Qingping Liquor House, which was relocated from Luoyang, a young man was drinking alone.

Many people in the wine house recognize this person, and in this Chang'an City, this person is also a first-class person.

It is not only because he has an uncle who guards Fufeng County, but also because he reverts to the surname Huangfu.

This person is the nephew of Huangfu Song, Huangfu Li.

Now there are a lot of empty wine jars in front of Huang Fuli, but he is just borrowing wine to eliminate his sorrows, but he is even more sorrowful.

At that time in Hedong, Huang Fu Song and Dong Zhuo confronted each other across the river, and Huang Fu Li had persuaded Huang Fu Song to take the opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo, otherwise Dong Zhuo would become a big disaster in the future, and Huang Fu Song refused to listen.

Now that the princes are jointly crusading against Dong Zhuo, he persuaded Huangfu Song to echo with the princes, lead his troops to the east, and attack Dong Zhuo with east and west.

It's just that Huangfu Song still didn't agree, just said that he would wait.

Now that Dong Zhuo is coming towards Luoyang, if he waits any longer, will he have to wait for Dong Zhuobing to come to the city?

I heard that Dong Zhuo's envoy is now rushing towards Chang'an with the edict of the Son of Heaven in hand.

Coupled with the order of the Son of Heaven, Huangfu Song was afraid that he would not dare to do anything.

It's just that he is just Huang Fu Song's son and nephew, and what will happen in the end depends on how Huang Fu Song decides.

So in addition to borrowing wine here to kill his sorrows, he can't do anything else.

"Although my family's wine is good, but the emperor drinks it like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to taste it."

Someone sat down opposite Huangfu Li.

Huang Fuli glanced up, and he was also an acquaintance.

This person is a character who came from the east not long ago.,It's the owner of the Qingping Wine House now.,Self-proclaimed to be called Xizhong.,But it's a little hard to say whether it's this person's real name.。

After all, Qingping Wine House was not just a wine house when it was in Luoyang.

Xi Zhong, who had drunk wine with Huangfu Li several times before, did not hide it this time, and went straight to the point, "Huangfu Jun also knows that my Qingping Wine House is not an ordinary wine house. To tell you the truth, my father-in-law is the current Qingzhou Mu Liu Xuande."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Huang Fuli shook his head and said with a smile: "Since you came to the door by yourself, even if I don't ask, won't you say it?"

"What the Emperor said makes sense." Xi Zhong laughed, "I heard that Huangfu Jun persuaded Huangfu Lang to attack Dong Zhuo with the Kwantung Coalition Army several times, I don't know what the result is?"

Huangfu Li smiled bitterly, "What is the result, can't the drama monarch see it?"

Xi Zhong nodded, "It seems that Huangfu Lang will not want to gamble on this one. Speaking of which, if Huangfu Lang welcomes Dong Zhuo into the city according to his will, at most a few people from the Huangfu family will die, but if the incident fails, it will take the lives of the whole clan, which is really not worth it."

Huang Fuli slammed the wine bowl in his hand on the table, and said coldly, "Xijun, if it's okay, just leave." Besides, I have a long sword at my waist, but I don't care who is behind you!"

Xi Zhong smiled, and there was no panic on his face, "Xi Mou is not slandering the Huangfu Lang General, but the truth is, the Huangfu Jun knows it."

Huang Fuli continued to bow his head and drink, without words.

Xi Zhong continued, "I'm actually here to help the Emperor."

"Help me? I don't know what the drama king will help me with?" Huang Fuli raised his head.

"The rebel army attacked Dong Zhuo, is it considered to help the emperor?"

Huangfu Lifu asked again, "How can you help me?"

Xi Zhong took a sip of wine from the wooden bowl in front of the table, and said with a smile, "If you want to do righteousness, you must first be unjust. Hunt for righteousness with injustice, Emperor Fujun, do you dare to give it a try?"
