Chapter 367 Dong Zhuo Feels Very Depressed
The internal contradictions accumulated by the ancient literature school for a long time broke out suddenly when the whole country was in a state of crisis.

The outbreak was so unexpected.

These people who are still staying in Lu Zhi's mansion suddenly became a minority, and the majority has followed Yuan Kai to Yuan's mansion to set up another hill. The people who stayed look at each other, panic, embarrassment, and worry emotions vary.

"How can this be good?"

Fu Qian asked anxiously: "Why did Yuan Ciyang bring this up suddenly? Does he not know the current situation? Or did he do it on purpose? He deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to damage Zigan's prestige?"

Cai Yong sighed.

"Does it need to be said? Seeing that Yuan Ciyang came prepared, Zigan and we were caught off guard, completely unprepared, and... What he said is indeed reasonable and can attract many people.

Except for "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals", the inheritance houses of other ancient Chinese classics have been envious of the status of famous families for a long time. They did put a lot of effort in defeating the modern literature school, but now they have not received corresponding rewards, and they feel resentful It is also a matter of course. "

Saying this, Cai Yong shifted his gaze to Xun Shuang who was at the side.

"Xun Gong, you..."

"Don't look at me, what does this matter have to do with me?"

Xun Shuang spread his hands and smiled wryly: "Yuan Ciyang was willing to discuss some things with me at first, but since a long time ago, he has become less and less willing to discuss things with me. We are not friends at all. Mostly acquaintances.

I just heard that he is doing some things recently, such as sending family members to the battlefield. As for today, I never expected it. Not small, the future situation is hard to say. "

The faces of the people who stayed behind were not good.

Shaoqing, Fuqian tentatively asked: "What does Zigan mean? Zigan won't surrender without a fight, right? Just watch Yuan Ciyang bring a modern literary giant to dominate our ancient literature school like that?"

"In this situation, do we still need to fight?"

Cai Yong smiled wryly and said: "There is a lack of people's hearts and desires can't be filled. Zigan has already seen it, so he just didn't say anything. The only thing that is still useful now is Zigan's position as Taiwei, but if Yuan Ciyang is still dissatisfied if……"

"He dares!"

Fu Qian glared: "He is great, but he wants everything, he is too greedy! Although the Yuan family is powerful, but the ancient literature school is he who can cover the sky with one hand?!"

"It wasn't possible before, not necessarily now."

Xun Shuang said abruptly from the side: "We who don't want to start a fight now seem to have been squeezed out. The status of the Fanyue Family is too attractive, and there are quite a few people who are eager to replace it. Prestige can’t restrain everyone, let alone other people? I guess even if Zheng Gong returns, he may not be able to control the situation.”

Fu Qian was choked and speechless.

The only one left, Cai Yong, was worried.

"People's hearts are not enough, and desires are hard to fill. Once the battle above the court resumes, I don't know what will happen again? The battle in the east of the river has not been completely calmed down, and the battle between the court and court has resumed. Fighting and infighting at the same time. How did you get it?"

"In short, let's keep a low profile and avoid the edge for now."

Xun Shuang said slowly: "Let's see how the situation develops later. What Yuan Kai wants to do, the Jinwen School will definitely not sit still. What's more, he still has to pay attention to the war in Hedong County. Let's see if Yuan Ciyang has the ability."

Xun Shuang didn't think Yuan Wei could have the ability to do two things at once.

In his opinion, Yuan Wei didn't have the ability to be gentle with martial arts, otherwise Yuan wouldn't have needed to take care of Dong Zhuo, a native of Liangzhou.

It's just that when the Yuan family was about to transition to the military direction, the sudden turn of the whole family was a bit bluffing.

But when it comes to military affairs, Xun Shuang does not think that the Yuan family can be compared with Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master and apprentice.

He was just using each other with those families within the framework of the ancient literature school. Once he wanted to do something beyond this framework, the military power of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei's master and apprentice should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Xun family has already invested in two outstanding clansmen in Liu Bei, and Xun Shuang himself has a great willingness to cooperate with Liu Bei instead of the Yuan family. He always feels that the Yuan family is a bit unreliable.

So this time, Xun Shuang made his own choice.

Of course, Xun Shuang's choice was also known by Yuan Kai.

When Yuan Kai didn't see Xun Shuang appearing in his home, he knew that Xun Shuang didn't choose to cooperate with him. This incident made Yuan Wei quite unhappy.

However, it doesn't matter, many powerful families of the ancient literature school have chosen to cooperate with him, and he has successfully seized the actual leadership of the ancient literature school from Lu Zhi, which is enough.

The Yuan family itself had a powerful group of old officials in the court, and this part of the ancient literature school cooperated with the Yuan family because of their interests, and the Yuan family basically became the most powerful family in the court.

The current literary school has fallen into a low period, and Lu Zhi's power is not enough to make waves. At that time, the only one who can compete with Yuan's power is the eunuch group.

As for eunuchs...

The main reason is that the alliance headed by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others is the most difficult to deal with, and Yuan's connections among the eunuchs cannot resist it.

Moreover, the eunuchs also controlled the military power through He Jin and He Miao brothers. As long as this power is in place, the foundation of the eunuchs in Luoyang will not be shaken, and the Yuan family cannot say that they will definitely be able to beat the eunuchs.

Therefore, what really needs to be done is not only the ancient and modern literature, but also the military aspect.

If the eunuch's military power can be disintegrated, then it is not impossible to defeat the eunuch and Yuan's power to dominate the court.

In Yuan Kui's mind, a bold plan was slowly brewing, a plan to draw fire from the bottom of the eunuch group's military power was gradually taking shape.

It is true that Yuan Kai does not know how to fight, but Yuan Wei understands people's hearts - at least within the rules, he understands.

So he immediately wrote to Dong Zhuo, asking Dong Zhuo to strive for a big victory, paving the way for his upcoming political offensive in the court.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help rolling his eyes when he received Yuan Kai's letter.

Is victory so easy to fight?
What's more, it's such a big victory.

If you say you can fight, Huangfusong's head will move?

After Dong Zhuo sent troops to investigate the terrain and people's sentiments around the Baibo River Valley, he deeply felt that this wave would not end well. The Baibo Army was temporarily defeated, but the main force still remained and its combat effectiveness was still there. The bandits and the Southern Huns backed by Bingzhou may be attacked at any time. support.

And his support...

It cannot be said that there are enough soldiers and food, but it can also be said that little is better than nothing.

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuo felt that it would be good if he could stabilize the front line in Wenxi County. How could he make further progress?

It's too difficult to be the governor of the state.

Dong Zhuo was troubled by this and was very depressed.

More troublesome things followed.

After a short rest, in the middle and late March of the fifth year of Zhongping, the Baibo army attacked again. The front of the soldiers pointed directly at Wenxi County, and once again launched an attack on the Han army in Wenxi County, with sharper fronts and more cavalry. and more infantry.

Dong Zhuo observed the cavalry of the Southern Huns in it, and secretly thought something was wrong, thinking that the Southern Huns had begun to support the Baibo army, which was a big problem for him, so he had to shrink the front line and concentrate his forces on defense.

In this situation, if you want to win the battle, isn't it killing him?
