The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 335 Not a Qualified Political Creature After All
After reading the letter from the school office, everyone fell into silence, with shock and anger in their eyes.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Luo, his behavior can be said to be bullying the emperor above, all officials in the middle, and ten thousand people in the bottom.

It is not too much to say that his crime is hard to describe.

Then the Kwantung princes formed a coalition army. As long as they break through the pass in front of them, they can enter Luoyang and kill the Dong bandits!

But who would have thought that when victory was just around the corner, Dong Zhuo would suddenly run away, and with the emperor in his arms, he would sweep away the capital's wealth and run away!
This news really caught everyone by surprise!
The shock in their hearts can be imagined, and they instantly understood why Lin Chao had lost his composure.

Seeing that Lin Chao was still frowning and thinking hard, Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder again, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, now that Bandit Dong wants to flee to Chang'an with the emperor in his arms, let's discuss what our army should do."

Guo Jia stood up first, and when he was about to hand over his hands to speak, Tian Feng preempted him and said: "My lord, you must not just sit and watch Dong Bandit flee westward. Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and there are countless dangers and passes. If you really wait for Dong Bandit Take the emperor to Chang'an, and everything will be over!"

Tian Feng is still the same Tian Feng. Although he has been farming for more than half a year, his temper has not changed at all, and he pointed out the key point when he came up.

Only one Mengjin pass blocked Xuzhou's army from outside the pass. If he really had to escape to Chang'an, there would be no need to fight this battle again.

Guo Jia also nodded and said, "Yuan Hao's words are justified, and Jia agrees!"

Look, Guo Jia didn't dare to brag that he could attack Chang'an, which shows how difficult it is.

"I don't know at this time, but how to break through Mengjin pass?" Liu Bei smiled wryly, "If Mengjin can't be broken, how can we go to Luoyang and stop Dong thief from fleeing west?"

As a result, everyone fell silent again, and began to think hard.

It takes time to break through, especially when Xu Rong refuses to fight, it will take longer.

But what is most lacking right now is time.

When everyone was deep in thought, Lin Chao, who had been meditating, stood up.

At this time, Lin Chao's eyes regained clarity, and there was no trace of struggle in his expression.

Because, he has already made a choice.

Hundreds of thousands of people must be protected, and the plan must continue to be implemented!

Although it is not possible to have both fish and bear's paws, Lin Chao said that only children make choices, and I want them all!
If the plan doesn't work, modify it.

If it doesn’t work, just revise it until the behavior ends!
As for whether it will be messed up, Lin Chao can't care anymore. In short, he can't sit and watch hundreds of thousands of people being trampled to death by Dong Zhuo!

For these hundreds of thousands of lives, Lin Chao is willing to fight.Although the plan was hasty, it may not be without hope of success.

After making this decision, Lin Chao felt extremely calm in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

He cupped his hands and said to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, Chaoyuan entered the customs alone, and persuaded Xu Wenyao to surrender."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked again.

What, Lin Zichu is going to play for real?

And I'm ready to roll up my sleeves!
I'm afraid there is some unknown inside story about this matter!
Even Jia Xu, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, frowned slightly.He also didn't expect that Lin Chao, who was always as stable as himself, would personally go to persuade Xu Rong to surrender.

Lin Zichu, what are you thinking?
Could it be that you are really willing to risk yourself for the common people!
If that's the case, a certain person admires you a little bit.But this move is really a bit stupid...

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Bei flatly refused, "No."

Just two words, crisp and clear.

Although the two armies are fighting, they will not be beheaded, but who knows whether Xu Rong will abide by the rules.Liu Bei didn't want to have any damage to his left and right arms, even if the chance was very small.

Lin Chao bowed again, his eyes were extremely firm and he said: "Mr. Xuande, the court wants to enter the pass, and persuades Xu Rong to surrender."

"I can't tell, but I can't!" Liu Bei frowned, "Zichu, you have read the books of sages, so you should know that a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, and now we treat Dong thief as enemies. You go , if you put your life in the hands of others, I will definitely not allow you to take risks!"

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Mr. Xuande, killing Dong thief is the merit of all ages. Now there is only Xu Rong as an obstacle in front of us. If we go here, this obstacle will be broken for Duke Xuande. At that time, the army can drive straight in. "

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled: "Zichu, your kindness has been accepted. Someone has a knife in his hand, and if he wants this eternal merit, he will lead his soldiers to fight it. Why do you need Zichu to personally take risks?"

Seeing that Liu Bei refused, Lin Chao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

"Mr. Xuande, you didn't enter the city at that time, but just invited Xu Rong out of the city to answer questions. How about it?"

Facing Lin Chao's request to take a step back, Liu Bei frowned and pondered for a long time before he said: "Well, if Xu Rong is willing to go out of the city to answer, I will allow you to go, but you have to bring enough guards."

Lin Chao cupped his hands and said, "Wei!"

Having said that, Zhang Fei next to him also heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the elder brother didn't say anything like 'this trip is dangerous, why don't you let the third brother go for you'...

……

After the meeting adjourned, Lin Chao immediately wrote a handwritten letter, asking Tai Shici to shoot into the opposite city.

Just when Tai Shici was leaving under his orders, Jia Xu just walked in.

"Wen He, you came just in time." Lin Chao said, "I have invited Xu Rong to talk outside the city tomorrow. If everything goes well, I will trouble Wen He to go to Hulao Pass."

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded first, and then said, "Zi Chu, there is something unknown."

"Wen He would like to ask, how did someone convince Xu Rong to surrender?"

Jia Xu shook her head and said, "No, I just don't understand why you are so excited today, Zichu, and even change your plan because of it?"

Hearing these words, Lin Chao was taken aback for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If someone says that he cares about the common people, he doesn't know how to be credible?"

"I believe, of course I believe." Jia Xu laughed, "It's just that when you guessed that Dong Zhuo would move the capital, didn't you think that the people would be implicated in the war?"

"This……"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Lin Chao's wry smile froze on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, I knew early on that Dong Zhuo would drive the people to Chang'an.

No matter what the reason is, since no arrangements were made earlier, it is quite unwise for Jia Xu to take risks in the name of pity for the common people.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of self-importance, and even a little stupid.

Of course, with Jia Xu's personality, she wouldn't say it so blatantly.

Lin Chao was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Indeed, someone did not consider this matter..."

After all, Lin Chao is not a qualified political creature. If he does it all over again, he will still do the same thing, but he will consider it more thoroughly.

……

Inside Mengjin Pass, facing Lin Chao's invitation letter, Xu Rong was silent for a long time, and finally replied a letter with his own hands, promising to meet in the city tomorrow.

He was not a member of Dong Zhuo's direct lineage, so since Dong Zhuo entered Luo, even though Xu Rong backed down in every possible way, he was still squeezed out many times by the arrogant soldiers from Xiliang.

If it's just that, it's fine. Xu Rong has been in the ups and downs of his career for nearly twenty years, and he has seen a lot of suppression and exclusion.

The key lies in the several battles surrounding Juan County a few days ago. Dong Zhuo was beaten by the Kwantung Allied Forces, and now he is about to flee to Chang'an.As a member of the non-directed lineage, and was sent by Dong Zhuo to guard Mengjin Pass, Xu Rong was naturally worried that Dong Zhuo would treat him as an abandoned son.

According to the current situation, Luoyang Baguan can hold on for at most three months.

By then Dong Zhuo must have sat firmly in Chang'an, but what about himself?
Seeing that Dong Zhuo could not be eliminated by the Kwantung Allied Forces, after breaking through the pass, they would definitely not let themselves go.

Xu Rong didn't want to die, especially he didn't want to bear the infamy of being a traitor!
But now that the situation is not yet clear, and his family members are all in Dong Zhuo's hands, Xu Rong, even if he knows that the road ahead is an abyss, he has to walk towards destruction step by step.

Forget it, let's listen to what Xuzhou's envoy has to say.

……

Mengjin is actually a very strange place.

Mengjin was built near the Yellow River, north of the Yellow River.The Mengjin Pass is in the south of the Yellow River, guarding the entire Mengjindu.So Xuzhou Army and Xu Rongjun were blocked by a big river.

And this is also the reason why Liu Bei's subordinates have nothing to do.

Xu Rong not only guards the pass, but also guards the river. As long as you dare to attack, he will attack you halfway at any time.

Xu Rong used this method to defeat Liu Bei's tentative attacks several times before, and even lost thousands of soldiers.

Xuzhou's soldiers are all from the north and are not familiar with water. Once defeated, the soldiers will fall into the Yellow River and have no chance of survival. This is why Liu Bei dare not attack aggressively.

The next day, outside Mengjin Pass.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Rong changed into casual clothes and stood solemnly in front of the ferry, looking at the sparkling river in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

According to the agreement, Xu Rong only brought two hundred soldiers, who were standing behind him at this time.

After a while, almost at the appointed time, a flat boat slowly appeared on the river surface, followed by several small boats, slowly heading towards the south bank of the Yellow River.

At the front of the boat, Lin Chao was dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back, his sleeves swaying in the wind.

Jia Xu who was next to him didn't dare to be so flamboyant, and sat down on the boat, holding both sides of the boat tightly with both hands.Even so, his gaze was still looking left and right, trying his best to conceal the panic in his heart.

Mistakes, missteps!

A certain shouldn't have come out with him, Lin Zichu!

Lin Chao glanced at him, smiled immediately, and said, "Wen He, a man who stands up to the sky, is he so afraid of water?"

"A certain one was born in Xiliang, so it's only natural that he doesn't know how to swim. What's so funny about that?"

Jia Xu admitted without a trace of embarrassment, her hands were still firmly grasping the sides of the boat.

As Jia Xu, who was born in Wuwei County, Liangzhou, he has experienced the wind and sand in Saibei, the scenery of the grassland, and the bitter cold of Xiliang, but he has never experienced the waves of the Yellow River.

Oh, as expected of you, Jia Wenhe!
As a landlubber, he actually said it so confidently!
The boat was about to reach the other side, when Xu Rong saw Lin Chao, Lin Chao also happened to see Xu Rong waiting at the ferry.

Lin Chao looked at the sky, then smiled at Jia Xu, "There is still less than half an hour before the appointed time, but Xu Wenyao has already been waiting here, which shows that he also has concerns in his heart."

Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded in agreement.

"Wenhe, let's go, let's meet this famous northern general!"
