Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 200 One stone stirs up a thousand waves
General Pingxi's mansion, meeting room.

Luo Zheng summoned all the civil and military personnel under his command and is discussing the matter of dispatching troops in detail.

Suddenly a soldier rushed in and said excitedly: "My lord, Mr. Jia Xu and General Xu Chu are back."

"Jia Xu is back?"

Luo Zheng suddenly lifted his spirits, Huo Ran stood up, and shouted: "Where are you today?"

The soldier replied: "I have arrived three miles away from the east gate, and I will be there in a while."

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Quickly send an order to let Jia Xu come as soon as he enters the city."

"As ordered."

The soldiers hurriedly responded loudly and ran out.

When Jia Xu came back, he must have brought the latest news from Luoyang.

Luo Zheng had no intention of discussing again, got up and paced back and forth in the hall.

All the civil and military personnel in the hall also whispered to each other, discussing in low voices, secretly guessing the harvest of Jia Xu's trip to Luoyang.

About half an hour later, Jia Xu and Xu Chu hurried to the General's Mansion before they could wash off their faces.

"See your lord."

"I've seen the general!"

Xu Chu and Jia Xu hurried up to the hall, and bowed their hands in salute.

"no!"

Luo Zheng paused, waved his hand, and asked in a deep voice: "How did the trip to Luoyang turn out?"

Before Jia Xu could speak, Xu Chu rushed forward and said, "My lord, good news, Dong Zhuo's rebellion?"

"Dong Zhuo turned against him?"

Luo Zheng was stunned, and was a little puzzled for a while.

All the civil and military personnel in the hall were full of doubts, a little confused.

"Uh!"

Xu Chu choked for a moment, and then hurriedly said loudly: "That fellow Dong Zhuo is planning to usurp the throne and become emperor himself."

"what?"

Luo Zheng was taken aback, and his eyes widened instantly.

The civil and military audience in the hall were even more stunned, some couldn't believe it.

Xu Chu looked excited, and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was afraid that Xu Chu, a brash man, would say something he shouldn't say, so he took the lead and said, "Dong Zhuo has long been one of the disobedient ministers, and he will force the emperor to issue a Zen throne in the first day of the lunar new year. It caused an uproar!"

Luo Zheng just wanted to hit the festival to applaud, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly held back.

Xun Yu had already shouted, and said in a loud voice: "Dong thief, An dare to openly seek to usurp the throne. Please give the order quickly, and invite the princes of the world to join the king of Jingqin. All the thieves will be eliminated, the Han Dynasty will be revitalized, and the country will be helped!"

The rest, Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Zhang Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang, etc. all looked at each other, looking at each other without saying a word, and finally they all withdrew their gazes, sat upright, kept their eyes straight, did not say a word, and quietly watched the changes.

Jia Xu also stood in the hall without saying a word, like an old monk in meditation.

The villain Xu Chu finally understood a little bit, scratched his head and retreated behind Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng patted his forehead, and said in a slow voice: "Wen Ruo, don't be impatient, the old thief Dong Zhuo dared to openly seek to usurp the throne. As a Han general, he must be loyal to the emperor if he eats the king's salary. I want to raise troops to serve the king. However, the situation is not clear at the moment, and most of the world's princes are watching. Even if I raise troops, it will be difficult to destroy the country's traitors. Moreover, Lu Bu and Ma Teng are firmly blocking our army's eastward advance. Now Lu Bu , Ma Teng still doesn't know his attitude and how to raise troops."

"Ugh!"

Xun Yu sighed, his face darkened.

Just now, he was in a hurry, and under the anger, he was a little thoughtless.

Thinking about it now, Dong Zhuo has not really usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the princes of the world will certainly not act rashly. Even if the lord raises an army alone, it will not help.

It's just that the emperor's principles were lost, and the society was overthrown to the point of being together.

The nearly 400-year history of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, is this coming to an end?
With a heavy heart, Xun Yu reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "My heart is hard to calm down, so please allow me to leave for the time being."

Luo Zheng sighed: "Wen Ruo, let's go down and rest first, Zi is not in a hurry, we will discuss it later."

Xun Yu gave a salute, got up and retreated.

"That's all for today, you also retreat for the time being!"

With a wave of his hand, Luo Zheng drove out all the others, leaving only Jia Xu.

"Go, let's talk in the side hall!"

Luo Zheng glanced at Jia Xu, flicked his sleeves, and went to the side hall.

Jia Xu had no choice but to follow to the side hall.

Xu Chu didn't care about washing away Feng Servant, so he hurriedly followed and guarded the door himself.

Side hall.

Luo Zheng signaled Jia Xu to take a seat, and then said: "What's going on, let's talk about it carefully."

Jia Xu replied yes, everything was detailed, and he told the story of the trip to Luoyang.

After hearing this, Luo Zheng's eyes were condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "So, this change in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo forced the emperor to follow the king's burial, and abolished the emperor to stand on his own, and it was all caused by you?"

Jia Xu said calmly: "Dong Zhuo has long been disobedient, I just added fuel to the fire."

Luo Zheng stared at Jia Xu, silent for a while.

This guy is really ruthless, no wonder he is called the poisonous man of chaos.

Since Dong Zhuo's chaos in the capital, the great Han country has been precarious, just like the stripped girls, who were left naked to be ravaged by wanderers. The deterrent and restraint of the imperial power on the princes of the world has dropped to freezing point.

This guy is still adding fuel to the fire, and he doesn't even care that the great Han Dynasty is on the verge of collapse.

What he has done can be said to be outrageous.

If Xun Yu knew that Dong Zhuo's usurpation of the throne was indirectly facilitated by this guy, he would be at odds with Jia Xu.

Compared with Jia Xu, who sees through the world and doesn't have much loyalty to the emperor, Xun Yu's education is purely Confucian, and he always has the Han Dynasty in mind, so when he heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to usurp the throne, he only Faux pas.

Thinking about it now, this matter sounds simple, but it is actually dangerous.

First of all, Jia Xu's identity is a huge hidden danger. Once Li Ru and others know that Jia Xu has been tied to Jincheng by himself, the consequences will be disastrous.Even though he was dealing with Wang Yun and the others and Li Ru and the others, his identities might be exposed if he was negligent, even if he changed himself, he couldn't do it with ease.

As for convincing Li Ru to persuade Dong Zhuo to usurp the throne, it was even more difficult.

As Dong Zhuo's chief think tank, Li Ru has always been outstanding in wisdom and has extraordinary strategic vision.

And it was such a person who was persuaded by Jia Xu's penetrating tongue.

Luo Zheng changed his position and thought about it. If he changed himself, the possibility of persuading Li Ru is less than half.

Under these many undercurrents, Jia Xu not only successfully deceived Wang Yun and others, but also successfully instigated Dong Zhuo to fail to hold back his ambition, and finally decided to abolish the emperor and stand on his own, and then retired successfully and returned to Liangzhou .

It is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to achieve all this.

Once there is a problem in any link, it will be the disaster of decapitation immediately.

The infighting and adaptability involved are beyond the competence of ordinary people.

Luo Zheng's eyes were burning, staring at Jia Xu and said: "Mr. is a great talent, few people in the world can match it!"

Jia Xu was unfazed by favor or humiliation, and calmly cupped his hands and said, "The general is overrated."

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "This general's heartfelt words, you don't need to be humble anymore. This general just asks, Wenhe is such a disaster for the great Han country, don't you have the slightest idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, and you are not afraid of the stigma behind you?"

Jia Xu said indifferently: "The world of the great man is about to be divided up by the princes, and the emperor has become Dong Zhuo's puppet. How can I be loyal to the emperor? Body and skin, subject to parents, as long as they can survive today, why not lose their fame after death?" .”

Luo Zheng is completely speechless, and it is considered a state that scholars have no integrity to this point.

Fortunately, this guy was tied to Liangzhou by himself, otherwise he would have to get rid of him as soon as possible, so as not to cause harm to the future.

Early the next morning, when Luo Zheng arrived at the office, Xun Yu was already handling official duties.

"Lord!"

Seeing Luo Zheng coming in, Xun Yu stood up and saluted.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said: "Wen Ruo you don't have to be polite, did you rest well last night?"

Xun Yu sighed and said: "The fate of the country is so difficult. If you think about it carefully, it is really caused by chronic illnesses that cannot be cured. If the people had no way to survive, there would be no Yellow Turban Rebellion; if it were not for the selfishness of Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan, the above table The first emperor lifted the state animal husbandry ban, so he wouldn't be able to overpower the princes of the world, and Dong Zhuo wouldn't mess up the capital. In the final analysis, the imperial court's long-standing illness is hard to recover!"

Luo Zheng is a little embarrassed, and he is one of the big princes.

Xun Yu wanted to say something, but his lips moved, but he didn't say it, he just let out a long sigh.

Luo Zhengdao: "Don't worry, Dong Zhuo's rebellious thief seeks to usurp the throne, and the princes of the world will inevitably attack. In any case, Dong Zhuo's old thief will not end well. However, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and Wen Ruo has to look forward. !"

Xun Yu nodded silently, and said, "Now that the snow has melted, our army is ready for everything, so we can only send troops. Yu thought that Dong Zhuo would try his best to win over Lu Bu and Ma Teng in order to guard against Lu Bu and Ma Teng. My lord is blocked in Jincheng. My lord, why don't you order Ma Teng and Lu Bu to send troops to serve the king, so as to test Lu Bu and Ma Teng's reaction."

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "What Wen Ruo said is very true, you can arrange this matter!"

Xun Yu agreed, and then said: "If Lu Bu and Ma Teng are willing to raise troops to serve the king, that's fine. If not, please send troops to destroy these two traitors quickly, and then send troops to attack Guanzhong, and join the princes of the world to defeat Dong thief. !"

Luo Zheng said happily: "Wen Ruo rest assured, once Ma Teng and Lu Bu are defeated, this general will immediately enter the pass."

Only then did Xun Yu show a little smile, and said: "There is one more thing. I have already convinced Zhong Yao and Shi Tao. Both of them are great talents in the world, and they are competent for the affairs of a state. I don't know how my lord plans to arrange it?"

"Is this true?"

Luo Zheng was stunned first, then overjoyed.

Xun Yu said: "There is absolutely no falsehood!"

Luo Zheng rubbed his hands, walked back and forth for a few steps, and said: "These two are great talents in the world, and they must be more than enough to be a county guard. But right now, this general ruled only two counties, and the people were only more than one hundred thousand. Even if there are great talents, I am afraid that it will be difficult for these two people to have room to develop, let's even help Wen Ruo handle government affairs, and we will make arrangements in the future."

Xun Yu bowed his hands and talked about the preparations for spring plowing.

Without saying a few words, another soldier came to report, and the old blacksmith asked to see him.

"Old horse?"

Luo Zheng turned a few thoughts, not knowing what the old horse saw himself doing.

But the old blacksmith never looked for him when he had nothing to do, since he came to look for it, there must be something important.

Luo Zheng ordered his soldiers to take the old horse to the side hall, and after discussing with Xun Yu, he went to see the old horse in the side hall.
