Chapter 222: The Covenant Breaks Up and the Covenant Fails
In the tent, Yu Tianlai and Liu Wei sat opposite each other, and the middle cases were placed on the side that was itself the treasure of Liancheng, and at the same time, it was the heirloom jade seal of the supreme power struggle in the world.
Liu Wei shook his head and sighed: "I always thought that General Wentai would be different from other princes, and no one knows that he will not be exempt from vulgarity. ”
Yu Tianlai said with a smile: "Everyone has a beast called desire in their hearts, just to see if they can subdue it." Sun Wentai can weigh the pros and cons at the last moment and make the most correct choice, which is already good. ”
Liu Wei nodded with emotion, and then asked: "Teacher, there are many people today, and I am afraid that it is difficult to keep the jade seal in our hands secret. When those princes find out, will there be any trouble?"
Yu Tianlai replied confidently: "If there is no king here, the princes will definitely have a big dispute because of this jade seal." But the king, you are the head of the imperial family and the leader of the coalition, if you talk about the status of the name, only today's son is qualified to compete with the king. When the people rescued by Brother Han Sheng and Dian Wei return to Luoyang one after another tomorrow, the king's reputation will immediately reach its peak. At that time, the king's virtue and position are compatible, and there is no lack of strength in his hands, and those princes will never dare to commit a crime. ”
Speaking of the people of Luoyang, Liu Wei showed some worried looks, and asked: "The teacher said that the number of people in Luoyang rescued this time will exceed one million, but now Luoyang is a scorched earth, how should they live after they come back?"
Yu Tianlai had already made a calculation, and calmly replied: "Luoyang is no longer a livable place, and these people are naturally returning to Jiaozhou with us." Poor Dao has already prepared enough grain and grass materials, and it is estimated that it will be sent to Luoyang tomorrow. At that time, it is only necessary to explain the situation to the people, and ensure their safety on the road and their life after arriving in Jiaozhou, and these people who have lost their place of residence will not refuse. ”
When Liu Wei heard this, he felt more and more that this teacher was unfathomable, and everything could be planned and prepared in advance, and it seemed that he really had the ability to predict the future.
The next day, the princes of all walks of life finally belatedly arrived, and set up camps in various places in Luoyang, which had become ruins; Cao Cao, who was pursuing Dong Zhuo, was defeated and returned, and it turned out that he had been ambushed by the other party, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and after he first reprimanded the princes from all walks of life, he confessed to Liu Bian, and then left with the remnants of his army; at the same time that Huang Zhong and Dian Wei led their troops back to Luoyang, the people who had been taken away by Dong Zhuo also came back one after another, and when they saw that their homes had become scorched earth and troops were stationed everywhere, they spontaneously gathered near the military camp where Liu Zhuo was, first thanked King Hongnong for his life-saving virtue, and then cried and asked for asylum。
Liu Wei personally came forward to comfort these people, and took out food and camp tents from his army to help the people settle down temporarily. However, the baggage capital of 3,000 men and horses is also limited, and it is not enough to meet the needs of more than one million people. Fortunately, there were 5,000 Jiaozhou's men and horses escorting the brigade vehicles to deliver countless supplies that day, otherwise he would have starved with the people of Luoyang.
The princes stationed troops in Luoyang, and no one proposed to march into Chang'an and completely eradicate Dong Zhuo.
The next day, Liu Wei was discussing with Yu Tianlai the details of moving the people of Luoyang to Jiaozhou, and someone outside suddenly came to report that an envoy from the imperial court had come.
This time, Yu Tianlai didn't speak, just to see how Liu Wei handled the matter.
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the so-called imperial envoy must be Dong Zhuo's envoy. If he had been in the past, knowing that he was Dong Zhuo's messenger, he would have driven him away immediately and would not see him, but now that he has been taught by Yu Tianlai and experienced many things, his mind has matured a lot, so he will no longer make decisions easily based on his personal likes and dislikes. Therefore, after a little thought, he ordered a messenger to come in.
But when the messenger came in, Liu Wei still almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, just because the person who came was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's first minion and one of the culprits of persecution of his mother and son.
Li Ru was calm, as if he didn't see the anger in Liu Wei's eyes, and greeted him respectfully: "Li Ru has seen His Royal Highness King Hongnong and Yu Zhangjiao. ”
Seeing the other party's calmness and calmness, Liu Wei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the urge to order someone to cut this person's body into pieces, and said coldly: "What do you think about Wen Xian's birth?"
Li Ru said: "Confucianism was ordered by Master Dong to make peace with the king. ”
Yu Tianlai suddenly spoke: "Taishi Dong should not only have sent Wen Xiansheng all the way to the envoy?"
Li Ru said with a smile: "The master of the sect is high, and I can't hide it, at this moment, there are envoys sent by Taishi Dong in every prince's camp. This battle has been fought to this point, and the princes have no enterprising spirit. The reason why he still lingered in Luoyang was that he needed a reason to step down, and now that Dong Taishi sent them the reason, a commendation and edict from today's handwriting should be enough. ”
Yu Tianlai sighed: "This plan is directly aimed at the hearts of the people and has insight into the world, it seems that it should be written by Wen Xiansheng." That's it, it's really not interesting to fight this battle again, let's talk about the conditions offered by Taishi Dong!"
A hint of mystery flashed in Li Ru's eyes: "How about the Marquis of Long and the pastor of Jiaozhou?"
Yu Tianlai said: "This time I will return to Jiaozhou, and the poor Dao will transfer all the power in his hands to the hands of King Hongnong, and he will only concentrate on practicing martial arts. Such a shallow plan to sow discord, Wen Xiansheng should not take it out. ”
Li Ru had been secretly observing Liu Wei on the side, and saw that he did not show a look of worry and annoyance when he heard his words, and he was not shocked and ecstatic when he heard Yu Tianlai's words, so he knew that there was a tacit understanding between the two of them, and his plan of discord was indeed ineffective, so he turned around and said: "I don't know what Yu Zhangjiao wants?"
Yu Tianlai said lightly: "King Zhennan, Da Sima, Lingjiao State Pastor!"
Li Ru changed color and said: "This is impossible! Since the head of the sect also intends to make peace, he should show sincerity." ”
Yu Tianlai said leisurely: "This is the greatest sincerity of the poor road. If Wen Xiansheng couldn't be the master, Poor Dao took his sword and went to talk to Taishi Dong in person. Hey, unless Taishi Dong also let Lu Bu guard by the bedside when he was making out with the woman, he shouldn't refuse Poor Dao's conditions. ”
Li Ru was silent for a long time, and finally revealed a somewhat weak look, and said dejectedly: "Just follow the will of the sect!"
A vigorous battle against Dong ended in a hurry, and the princes of all walks of life received the edict from the Son of Heaven praising his loyalty and increasing his official ranks, and they both gained fame and benefits, and they all went home satisfied.
Yu Tianlai and Liu Wei also counted the people, brought nearly a million Luoyang people who were willing to move to Jiaozhou with them, and went all the way south.
On the way, Liu Wei, who had announced the appointment of the king of Zhennan, the great Sima, and the governor of Jiaojiao, sent out documents like snowflakes to recruit talents.
Today's name of Liu Bian's virtue is widely spread all over the world, and he holds the jade seal of the country in his hand, and he is not lost to Liu Xie, the son of today, in the name of righteousness. Therefore, a paper book was issued, and when it was published, it attracted people from all over the world to vote. Among them, there are Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other cadres who should have thrown themselves into Cao Cao's top resourcefulness in the future, and Zhao Yun, who should have become a general under Liu Bei.
