Chapter 74: Riding Alone

Wei Xuan knew that what Jia Xu said was an opportunity to seek the defense of a county, so he couldn't help but perk up, and said eagerly: "Wenhe said quickly!"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "My subordinates just got the news that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, has been killed by Sun Jian, and the lord can recommend himself in front of Dong Zhuo to seek the position of the assassin of Jingzhou!"

It turned out that Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Zhuo and established Liu Xie, which finally aroused public anger, and Yuan Shao issued a letter calling on the princes of the world to discuss it. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info For a while, there was a crowd of applicants. Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, also responded with troops and led his army through Xiangyang.

Changsha is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and Sun Jian is a subordinate of Wang Rui. However, the status of the Taishou in the Han Dynasty was very high, almost on an equal footing with the state pastor and the assassin Shi, and whoever was stronger would have the upper hand. Sun Jian has always been brave, so he naturally doesn't take Wang Rui seriously. After he came to Xiangyang, he asked Wang Rui to send troops together.

Wang Rui didn't want to wade into this troubled water, and happened to be at odds with Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling, so he said that Cao Yin was colluding with Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian had to kill Cao Yin first, and he agreed to send troops before he agreed to send troops.

Wuling and Changsha are neighboring counties, and both are under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, so the status of Sun Jian and Cao Yin is comparable. But Sun Jian really used Wang Rui's words as an excuse to lead troops to Wuling. In fact, Sun Jian also had his own selfish motives in doing so. Once Wuling is defeated, he will not hand it over to Wang Rui, but will take the opportunity to take it for himself, and appoint another cronie to serve as a taishou, taking the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence.

When Cao Yin heard that Sun Jian was coming, he was really afraid, and while sticking to the city and not going out, he forged a document and counted Wang Rui's crimes. Sun Jian saw that Wuling was anxious, so he raised his troops back to Xiangyang, and used Cao Yin's text as an excuse to capture and kill Wang Rui, seized Xiangyang's grain and grass, and went all the way north.

Wei Xuan finally understood why Jingzhou Thorn Shi became Liu Biao, it must be that after Wang Rui's death, the imperial court let Liu Biao succeed him. Liu Biao's person, Wei Xuan, also knows that now he is serving as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, and he is not closely related to Dong Zhuo. Since Liu Biao was able to obtain the position of Jingzhou Assassin from Dong Zhuo in history, Wei Xuan was naturally more confident, and as a Governor of Jingzhou, as long as it was operated properly, his authority was much greater than that of Taishou.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan immediately nodded and said, "Wenhe, you wait here for a while, and wait until you go to see Dong Zhuo first!"

......

The Kanto region was full of heroes, and Dong Zhuo was also worried, and was about to convene the generals to discuss, when he heard Wei Xuan coming to see him, and hurriedly called for help.

Wei Xuan finished his salute and asked, "Wei heard that Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian, I don't know what happened?"

Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "This official knows Sun Jian's bravery, and he is waiting to think of a strategy to resist the enemy. ”

Wei Xuan arched his hand and said: "Wei is not talented, I am willing to lead the army and horses of the headquarters to replace Wang Rui's position, and cut off Sun Jian's back road! Then Taiwei led Xiliang Tie to ride into Hebei, Keqing Xu, Wei supported Jingxiang's people to attack Yizhou, and collect Jiangdong, then the world can be determined! Taiwei can use this to create an immortal foundation!"

This last sentence reached Dong Zhuo's heart, but he still said humbly: "How dare this official have such extravagant hopes." However, Zhongdao's plan is very clever, and this official immediately asked the emperor to express your role as the assassin of Jingzhou and lead the affairs of the military and people in Jingzhou!"

In fact, the decrees are now from the Taiwei Mansion, how can there be anything to the little emperor Liu Xie. After Dong Zhuo said this, there were already officials drafting an edict on the side.

Wei Xuan was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Lord Taiwei, Wei will definitely live up to his mission!"

......

Seeing Wei Xuan coming out of the Taiwei Mansion, Jia Xu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord, how is it?"

Wei Xuan couldn't hold back his joy, shook the edict in his hand and said, "It's done!"

Jia Xu reminded: "Without further ado, if it is late, there will be changes, please go early!"

Wei Xuan nodded and said, "What Wen He said is extremely true. I asked Wen He to come to Fuzhong tonight and go to Jingzhou early tomorrow morning. ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Subordinates obey orders!"

......

Not long after Wei Xuan and Jia Xu left, Li Ru also hurriedly appeared in front of the Taiwei Mansion. He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, so naturally he doesn't need to pass it on, so he goes straight to the mansion to see Dong Zhuo and says: "Lord, Nanyang Yuan Shu and Jibei Bao Xin are all opposed!"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are half-brothers, originally both served as officials in the capital, Yuan Shao is one of the eight captains of the West Garden, and Yuan Shu is a subordinate general under the general He Jin. After Dong Zhuo came to power, Yuan Shao ran away because of his opposition to the abolition. Yuan Shu was afraid of being implicated and also left Luoyang. Dong Zhuo listened to the words of Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, the lieutenant, and appointed Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai, Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Nanyang, and Bao Xin, who had left Luoyang earlier, as the Prime Minister of Jibei in order to buy people's hearts. Unexpectedly, these three people had a job, and they took the opportunity to recruit troops and rebel together.

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "It's Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong who misunderstood me, and they should be punished!"

Li Ru persuaded: "These two people don't have to worry, it's enough to pay a prison officer." However, Taifu Yuan Kui is the uncle of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and the Yuan family is the third prince of the fourth generation, and the protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "You are very good, so you immediately transferred troops to capture Yuan Kui's family, old and young, and beheaded them all in the city, and used their wealth as military funds." ”

Li Ru promised, and said: "Wang Rui has been harmed by Sun Jian, and the lord should quickly send his henchmen to succeed Jingzhou." Otherwise, the land will cease to be owned by the Lord!"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "You are one step ahead of the middle road slowly! I have allowed Zhong Dao to appoint him as the assassin of Jingzhou and cut off the back road of Sun Jian and others." ”

"Wei Xuan?" Li Ru frowned and said, "Do you remember that your subordinates said that this son is not a thing in the pool, how can he return to it?"

Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "I have promised it, but I regret it." ”

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, his subordinates have a plan, but they can be safe." Now, the Kwantung group of thieves has risen, and Yuan Shu is based on Nanyang, and the lord can block the road in the name of leaving Wei Xuan's wife and his troops and horses in the capital, so that he can ride alone. Wei Xuan is worried about his wife and children, and he will not dare to have two hearts!"

This trick is very vicious, and it is also an important means for the monarch to restrain the border guards since ancient times. Dong Zhuo was not a kind person in the first place, so he naturally called for a clever plan.

......

said that Wei Xuan returned to the mansion and immediately asked Cai Yan, Xun Cai, Diao Chan and others to pack up, and persuaded Cai Yong to leave together. Cai Yong thought about Dong Zhuo's kindness, and was still hesitating, when suddenly Dong Zhuo's envoy came to the door and asked Wei Xuan to ride alone.

Although Cai Yong was pedantic, he was not stupid, and immediately understood Dong Zhuo's intention, which was to take them hostage, and hurriedly said: "Virtuous son-in-law, what can I do?"

Cai Yan also said: "Lang Jun, it's better to resign from this official and stay in the capital." ”

Wei Xuan was secretly angry in his heart, so he quickly had an idea, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you just have to make your own preparations, and you have your own way." ”

Cai Yong was also completely sober this time, and said: "If the virtuous son-in-law has a good plan, the old man will go with you!"

Wei Xuan appeased the family, and sent someone to invite Jia Xu and Xun Shuang to come to the mansion for a banquet tonight, while he himself changed his outfit and went to the mansion of Wei Wei Zhang Wen to pay respects.
