Chapter 232: Dong Zhuo's Entry into Beijing (1)
This time into Beijing, Dong Zhuo originally planned to call friends and kill Luoyang, but the strategist Li Ru was resolutely opposed, this trip to Luoyang has not yet achieved any results, with Dong Zhuo's prestige to gather the Xiliang army into Beijing is naturally no big problem, but the future variables are too great, whether there is major progress is not appropriate!
If it is really soaring, then the others will immediately follow and grab the meat, maybe before the enemy is destroyed, the Xiliang warlords themselves will fight first, Li Ru has been mixed in Liangzhou for so many years, and he really knows too much about the capricious virtues of those warlords!
If the expected results are not achieved, not only will Dong Zhuo not be able to reap the benefits, but also reduce the prestige of the heroes, and it will not be so easy to recruit them in the future, and in order to compensate, he may have to let his own blood.
There is a more serious problem, if Dong Zhuo really raises 100,000 troops to enter Beijing, then the whole of Luoyang will regard Dong Zhuo as a beast of prey, and when the time comes, will it become a public enemy of the world?
Therefore, it is better to keep a low profile, first take the people of the headquarters into Beijing to have a look, and if you have the benefits, you will take advantage of it first, and then you don't need to convene it at all, the group of wild wolves in Xiliang smelled the smell of meat, and they took the initiative to come to Dong Zhuo and wag their tails! When the time comes, they will be the meat on Dong Zhuo's chopping board, and they can cut it as they want! It is unknown to take the opportunity to integrate and completely turn it into Dong Zhuo's subordinates!
Once the trip to Luoyang fails, it is not difficult to get out of the country with the people of the headquarters, and when the time comes, it will be as if this has not happened, and there is no need to compensate others, and Li Ru firmly believes that this trip to Luoyang will definitely not be lost! If Luoyang really can't get any benefits, go to Jingzhao Chang'an to grab a handful!
When Dong Zhuo's army passed by Chang'an two days ago, the Xiliang army was staring at Chang'an City from top to bottom, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Niu Fu gave orders and reaffirmed, repeatedly suppressed, plus promises, and finally resisted the urge to rob, the big thing is important! It's not too late to grab it after Luoyang takes power!
Moreover, 25,000 soldiers and horses are not much, but they are definitely not a lot! This point of strength is not enough to completely control Luoyang, but no one dares to ignore it, and when the time comes, it will be a sweet and sweet spot that all forces are competing to win over, and the benefits are naturally indispensable! And once it is really as Zhuang Shaoyou said, there are great changes in Luoyang, with the strength of the Xiliang elite soldiers, it is not impossible to fish in troubled waters and overwhelm the heroes!
Since meeting Zhuang Shaoyou four years ago, Li Ru has been interested in it, and has been thinking about it, and the Beijing Office was also suggested by him, but it was not his willingness to send Li Su to go, of course, Dong Zhuo's gang of big bosses and coarse people, and they are very good at cutting people, but they are basically not literate, and they can't even speak the original words, which kind of lobbyist do they do?
In fact, Li Ru wanted to go to Luoyang in person, but Dong Zhuo was reluctant to let him, and he panicked when he couldn't see him for a day, which made Li Ru cry and laugh, moved, and helpless, so he could only let Li Su go.
Li Ru, Si subordinate Feng Yiren, Chinese New Year's Eve, born in poverty, with a strong and unyielding momentum and clever brain, stunned from the poor class to the scholar class, in this era to be an official depends on recommendation, Li Ru, who has no background, is naturally uncared for, so he has always been very unsatisfactory, poor, but Li Ru has never given up.
Later, he was exiled to Xiliang, was robbed by a horse thief once, and was sold to Dong Zhuo as a slave, and then because Li Ru knew how to break words, he was promoted by Dong Zhuo's appreciation, so Li Ru was absolutely grateful to Dong Zhuo for his kindness, and took the initiative to ask to marry Dong Zhuo's ugly daughter, of course, Li Ru is really not good-looking, and Dong Zhuo has a fight!
According to Li Ru's strong suggestion, Dong Zhuo set up camp twenty miles northwest of Luoyang City, preparing to spend the night here, waiting for the return of the scouts who went into the city to inquire about the news, and then it was not too late to make a decision!
Li Ru is very cautious, this time in Beijing, Dong Zhuo is the most active, Li Ru is also not too much, both of them have their own ideals and ambitions, Dong Zhuo is planning to dominate in Luoyang, and live an addiction to manipulating the world, and Li Ru is to assist the lord to become the ruler in Luoyang, if there is a chance, take the Han world and replace it! Even if it doesn't work, you have to get enough money in Luoyang to return to Xiliang to cut the king! After the integration of the Xiliang armies, then the original!
According to the popular five virtues of this era, Dong Zhuo belongs to the water virtue, which happened to be overcome by the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty, and there is no possibility of replacing it at all, but Li Ru does not believe in this set at all, people will win the sky, everything is possible! This is Li Ru's outlook on life and values, and the bumpy life experience makes Li Ru not believe in any destiny, but only in his own hard work!
Seeing that Luoyang was close at hand, but Li Ru relied on his tenacious determination, suppressed his impulses and desires, waited patiently for the report, prepared for so many years, and held so much hope, but he couldn't fall short at this time! The land of Luoyang is a huge whirlpool, once it is trapped, it will be a catastrophe, so we must be cautious and cautious!
That night, Zhuang Shaoyou and Yuan Shao both received a summons from the scouts, and Dong Zhuo entered Beijing! Soon, the magnates in the upper echelons of Luoyang also received the news, but they didn't know the news that the emperor and the queen mother were also in Dong Zhuo's hands, they just thought they were missing, and Yuan Shao didn't know either, but Zhuang Shaoyou knew.
Late at night, the upper floor of Luoyang was boiling, and the wolf was coming! Everyone is a little panicked, the 25,000 Xiliang Army is definitely a bombshell, and now Luoyang's defense force has dropped to the lowest level in history after several internal frictions!
Yuan Shao had more than 10,000 remnants of He Jin and more than 3,000 horses of Chun Yuqiong's division belonging to the original Xiyuan Army, with a total of about 20,000; Zhuang Shaoyou still has less than 10,000 people on his hands; In the palace, there were less than 3,000 people left in the remnants of Zhang Rang's guards, and this group of people was also controlled by Yuan Shao and prepared to surrender; In addition, there are more than 3,000 people who "escaped from the battle" of He Jinjun, who were stationed in He Jin's General's Mansion under the leadership of He Jin's confidant Wu Kuang, with unclear intentions.
The upper-level magnates could no longer sit still, and began to move one after another, the objects of the activities were naturally Yuan Shao and Zhuang Shaoyou, two generals who held real power, Yuan Shao received them warmly, and while saying that he would consider the country's society, he stretched out an olive branch to win over those officials.
And Zhuang Shaoyou directly closed the door to thank the guests, and he didn't see anything! Dong Zhuo is coming, and no one can stop him! The emperor and the queen mother are in his hands, do you dare to stop them? All obstructions are futile, people in the name of the emperor issued a holy decree, let you open the door, do you open it or not?
However, Zhuang Shaoyou's absence from the guest does not mean that he is not in a hurry, since the emperor and the queen mother are in the hands of Dong Zhuo, then Princess Wannian and Liu Xiebacheng are also in his hands, will they be in any danger? Zhuang Shaoyou really wanted to go to Dong Zhuo overnight to ask for someone, but it was not good to do so, Dong Zhuo had not yet entered Beijing, and he sent someone to ask for someone, which was somewhat threatening. But if something happens to the princess in Dong Zhuo, it will be too late to regret it!
In fact, Zhuang Shaoyou thinks too much, Princess Wannian is not Dong Zhuo's favorite type at all, Dong Zhuo has never looked at her at all, and the most powerful under Dong Zhuo are Li Ru and Niu Fu, these two people are still relatively stable, if Niu Fu is more stable, he would have directly broken into the carriage to rape and then kill! Dig a pit and bury it, and if you don't admit it, who will know? But Niu Fu didn't do this, because Niu Fu was also very loyal to Dong Zhuo, and like Li Ru, everything was based on Dong Zhuo's interests.
And Dong Zhuo, the black fat, was also restless and itchy at this time! There are two reasons for this:
First, Luoyang, this little girl, is close at hand, but she always holds criticism and half-covers her face, and she wants to go on but can't get it, this kind of thing that is about to arrive but has not yet arrived is the most itchy!
Second, it is because of the Queen Mother He Lian, this woman is too tasteful! It's much more flavorful than those wild girls in Xiliang! Dignified and charming, majestic mixed with wildness, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but want to tame He Lian, a wild horse, immediately, so that he could gallop.
However, He Lian is the queen mother! The Queen Mother is not what you want to do, you can go if you want to!
Dong Zhuo was lying in the big tent, Fang Cai and the two favorite concubines came a few times, and the skills and commotion of the two favorite concubines were good, so Dong Zhuo took them into Beijing together, but since he saw He Lian during the day, he instantly became boring, and Dong Zhuo drove the two favorite concubines away after the incident.
Dong Zhuo, who was lying on the mat, tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. For a while, his mind drifted to Luoyang, which was close at hand, imagining that he would be able to dominate the world in the future; After a while, he flew into He Lian's tent again, fantasizing about the moving scene galloping on He Lian's body.
"it! What's wrong with the Queen Mother! None of the women I Lao Dong has taken a fancy to can run away! Let's take a bully first, as long as he tastes the power of my old Dong, he will never leave me in the future! ”
Just do it, Dong Zhuo grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and walked out of the tent with a big belly, since the last time Dong Zhuo was taken to a big camp by Zhuang Shaoyou in Jizhou and became a prisoner, the Xiliang army's protection of Dong Zhuo has reached the point of no return, whether it is in Xiliang's lair or marching to fight, it will inevitably surround his big tent.
The commander of the personal guard was also patrolling, but when he saw Dong Zhuo come out, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:
"My lord, where are you going? If you have any orders, the little one will go and do it for you immediately! ”
Dong Zhuo glanced at him and said, "Fart!" I have to go to this in person! If you dare to go, you'll burst your balls! ”
The commander of the personal guard was taken aback, Dong Zhuo has always been the same in Xiliang, although Dong Zhuo has always been very generous and very good to his subordinates, but once anyone really annoys him, it will definitely be a catastrophe! If you say that you will blow up your eggs, I will never leave you one!
The commander of the guards felt the cold in the crotch of his pants, subconsciously covered it, and then smiled wryly:
"King, let the little one send you there!"
Dong Zhuoyi waved his hand and said, "No need! Just go by yourself! ”
"Slow down, King!"
Dong Zhuo just walked a few steps before he turned around, and the commander of the guards was suddenly frightened, thinking that he was still angry just now, and wanted to turn around and fulfill his promise, so he covered his crotch and begged for mercy:
"The king spares his life! There are thirteen mothers-in-law in the small family, you don't think about me, you have to think about them! ”
Dong Zhuo glared at him fiercely and scolded:
"You shit, why are you only thirteen mothers-in-law?! Don't go out and tell people that you're a gangster! I can't afford to lose that man! Where's the little girl's tent? ”
The commander of the guards was stunned and asked, "Which little girl?" ”
Dong Zhuo said impatiently:
"You got kicked in the head by a donkey? Of course it's the Queen Mother, uh, it's the Queen Mother Chitose! Old, uh, this official has something important to discuss with the Queen Mother! Mother, why do you always explain to you? Hurry up and say, where is the Queen Mother's tent! The old thing is in a hurry! ”
