Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Departure the day after tomorrow
"Now the emperor has become Dong Zhuo's puppet, and the power is completely in Dong Zhuo's hands. Only the royalist party headed by old courtiers like Wang Yun stubbornly resist..."

"If it hadn't been for Dong Zhuo's new emperor, which caused the princes from all over the country to be violent, and the people of the government and the people were not stable, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's brutal temperament would have killed Wang Yun and other old officials."

……

At night, in the inner room, Chen Wei, Jia Xu and others were discussing the specific matters of returning to Chang'an this time.

"This time we made great achievements against Cao Cao, and Chen Wei was named a general, but Dong Zhuo definitely didn't want to see the general's family grow bigger. He had ordered the general to return to Beijing to report on his duties several times before, because Chen Wei, you went to Lishan, and we Several revisions of the book have been postponed due to the unsteady people in Luoyang, which may have aroused Dong Zhuo's suspicion..." Jia Xu said solemnly.

"So Chen Wei, when you return to Chang'an this time, it's not just a simple triumphant return, but you also have to guard against any plot by Dong Zhuo." Yan Shou said.

Chen Wei nodded and said: "Dong Zhuo is now leaning forward and full of ambitions. I'm afraid he won't let me become big. Otherwise, I will completely obey him, or he will definitely get rid of me. But let me surrender Luoyang, which has been working so hard. Going out would be tantamount to making me commit suicide, this road is definitely not going to go..."

When Chen Wei said this, he paused for a moment, looked at Jia Xu, and said with a smile, "Wen He, tell me how we should deal with it?"

Jia Xu looked into Chen Wei's gaze, slowly smiled, and said softly, "It seems that the general is confident, he must have made up his mind."

"That's right, but I also want to hear your opinion, whether it's consistent with mine." Chen Wei smiled.

"Then let's write a sentence and see if it's the same." Jia Xu laughed.

"Sun Hou, bring a pen and paper." Chen Wei ordered.

Sun Hou next to him immediately brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After a while, the two placed the words written on the paper on the coffee table.

Chen Wei and Jia Xu looked at each other's paper at the same time, and immediately laughed knowingly.

It turned out that Chen Wei wrote on the paper, "Use the emperor to order the princes", but what Jia Xu wrote was: "Serve the emperor to order but not ministers".

The two sentences coincide.

"The two of you are so mysterious, just speak up if you have something to say." Yan Shou frowned dissatisfiedly.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "General Yan, Chen Wei and I have the same meaning. Since Dong Zhuo re-established the emperor and wants to monopolize the power, then we will take the new emperor into our own hands."

Chen Wei said with a smile: "That's right, although the current emperor has no power, he still plays an important role. First of all, the Han Dynasty is still the orthodox in today's world, with a certain central authority, and it is easier to get the support of the nobles who hold real power. .”

"Secondly, it plays a more important role in attracting scholars. The so-called name is not right, and the words are not right. Serving the emperor rather than rebelling is more in line with the psychology of scholars who have a good name. Finally, for those who have lived under the name of a great man for nearly 400 years. For ordinary people, it is easier to understand the theory of Xingfu Dahan."

"In short, it is to use the name of the emperor to speak your own words, the name is justified, and the teacher is famous!"

Sun Hou was startled and asked, "General, do you mean that we want to take the emperor from Dong Zhuo's hand and command the princes in the name of the emperor?"

"That's right." Chen Wei smiled.

"But Dong Zhuo is powerful, can we defeat him?" Sun Hou asked.

"It's up to people," Jia Xu said.

"However, Chang'an is already Dong Zhuo's territory. If we want to take the emperor into our hands, we may have to meet with swords. Do you mean Chen Wei, you want to conquer Chang'an?" Yan Shou was shocked.

Chen Wei shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven is in Chang'an. If we attack Chang'an, it will be a treasonous thing and will be condemned by the princes of the world. Even Cao Cao will take advantage of this opportunity and attack our Luoyang."

"What does the general mean?" Sun Hou looked at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to the location of Tongguan, and said, "Tongguan is a must-pass between Luoyang and Chang'an, and it has always been a must-fight for military strategists. Luoyang is closer to Chang'an, and iron cavalry can reach Chang'an in a day's journey..."

Yan Shou also stood up, frowned and asked: "These old men all know what you mean, Chen Wei..."

Jia Xu came to the side and said, "Chen Wei means to win Tongguan!"

Yan Shou's face changed slightly.

"Xu Rong, the guard at Tongguan, used to be under Guo Si's command. He was never convinced that I was appointed as a general. Last time in Lishan, I sent Wen Yang to Tongguan to borrow troops. Xu Rong refused, but this is in my opinion. As expected, disobeying the military order just gave me an excuse to get rid of Xu Rong..." Chen Wei said.

"No wonder you asked Wenyang to go to Tongguan to borrow troops, and at the same time, you asked me to send people back to Luoyang to transport ballistas. It turns out that you didn't want to borrow troops from Xu Rong at all, but laid a foreshadowing to make Xu Rong fall first and not obey the military orders. The excuse..." Sun Hou said pleasantly.

Chen Wei nodded with a smile.

"But Chenwei, why are you so sure that Xu Rong won't lend you soldiers?" Yan Shou asked.

"Wen He used to work under Xu Rong, and I couldn't be more clear if I asked him." Chen Wei looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Guo Si was killed by Chen Wei. Not only was he not punished, but he was also made a general. In terms of status, it can be said that he is second only to Dong Zhuo, so not only Xu Rong, but also other The generals probably won’t be convinced. Xu Rong is always proud, and among Dong Zhuo’s soldiers in Liangzhou, except Guo Si, no one is convinced. Chen Wei suddenly became his immediate boss, so it is naturally even more difficult to accept.”

"But taking Tongguan may cause Dong Zhuo's anger. Although Xu Rong disobeyed the general's order first, he will act later. The general may be held accountable when he returns to Chang'an," Sun Hou said.

"In fact, getting rid of Xu Rong is only secondary. The important thing is that Tongguan falls into my hands." Chen Wei said, "As long as we take Tongguan and garrison [-] cavalry, Dong Zhuo dare not take me lightly."

"Chen Wei means that there are [-] cavalry from Tongguan and Chang'an echoing, Dong Zhuo wants to move Chen Wei, it is also a slap in the face." Jia Xu said.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, getting rid of Xu Rong is not a reason. As long as you have soldiers behind you, Dong Zhuo wouldn't dare to act rashly?" Yan Shou asked.

"That's right, that's what it means." Chen Wei smiled.

"No wonder Chen Wei you told me yesterday that the deployment of troops in Chang'an will be readjusted, so it was planned in advance." Yan Shou laughed.

"So, for the time being, General Yan Shou's [-] troops will be stationed in Luoyang City, and I will take away [-] cavalry and [-] tigers. I wonder if there is any problem with General Yan?" Chen Wei asked.

"Well, everything is subject to Chen Wei's arrangement. You can go back to Chang'an without worry." Yan Shou said.

"Okay, hurry up and make arrangements for these two days, and leave the day after tomorrow."
