Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71
It turned out that this person was Fan Jian.

Chen Wei first met Fan Jian at Dong Min's residence. Fan Jian was a long history and had a verbal dispute with Chen Wei.Later, the two gradually got to know each other, and even went to Fengming Pavilion to drink flower wine together.It's just that Fan Jian seemed to evaporate from the world later, and he didn't show up again. Chen Wei was quite puzzled for a while, but he didn't expect to see Fan Jian here today.

After Fan Jian bowed to Dong Zhuo, he looked at Chen Wei and said with a loud smile, "General Chen, I haven't seen you for a while. Don't come here and be safe."

Chen Wei returned the gift.

Seeing that Chen Wei and Fan Jian knew each other, Dong Zhuo couldn't help being puzzled.

Fan Jian respectfully told about the process of getting to know Chen Wei, and even about going to Fengming Pavilion together.

Chen Wei saw that Dong Zhuo's tiger eyes were shining brightly, but he didn't seem to wake up suddenly. He secretly guessed that Dong Zhuo already knew about his relationship with Fan Jian in his heart, but he asked this question deliberately to test whether the two of them were sincere.

According to history's description of Dong Zhuo, this man's palace is extremely deep, so it seems that this is indeed the case.Thinking of this, Chen Wei became even more wary of Dong Zhuo.

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Wei asked about Fan Jian's whereabouts these days, Dong Zhuo took the words, Chen Wei suddenly realized.

It turned out that since Chen Wei and Zhang Ji competed for the leadership, Fan Jian was sent by Dong Zhuo to the front line of Luoyang to investigate the military situation. The intention of Zhu Jun's rebels and Cao Cao to attack Luoyang was the military situation obtained by Fan Jian's search for information on the front line.

"Fan Jian has been collecting information on the front line for the past two months. This time, Chen Wei, you are leading the army, and it will be of great benefit to have Fan Jian as your staff and guide!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

Chen Wei suddenly realized that knowing the enemy and knowing yourself will never end in a hundred battles, and knowing the situation is conducive to victory in the battle.Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was so foresighted. Before he set out for the expedition, he had dispatched Fan Jian to investigate all the military and enemy reports.And Fan Jian obviously belongs to the position of the head of the modern intelligence department. He has many spies and spies under his command. After summarizing the military information reported by the spies, he will get the results and report back to Chang'an. In this way, Chen Wei can have a preliminary understanding of the battle situation when he goes out. understanding.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo's ability to get to where he is today is not due to God's will. There are indeed people with strategies in the city!" Chen Wei thought to himself.

At this time, Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Fan Jian, please tell Chen Wei about the situation you got."

Fan Jian cupped his hands and said, "According to my investigation for more than two months, Zhu Jun's rebel army has retreated to Hulao Pass and confronted Luoyang since the unsuccessful attack on Shouyang Mountain. Because Luoyang was defended by General Guo Si, Zhu Jun He has been unable to attack for a long time. However, Zhu Jun is a famous general, and he used troops to surpass others. General Guo Si tried to go out of the city to wipe out the rebels several times but was defeated by Zhu Jun. In the end, General Guo Si retreated to Luoyang, and Zhu Jun could only confront Luoyang at Hulao Pass. ..."

Chen Wei was a little happy, since Zhu Jun couldn't attack for a long time, and the situation was not as urgent as he said before, maybe he didn't need to go out?

Just when Chen Wei was lucky, Fan Jian showed a dignified expression on his face, and continued: "However, according to the spy's report, Zhu Jun has been unable to attack Luoyang for a long time, and has secretly joined forces with Cao Cao to premeditate to take Luoyang together!"

Chen Wei's heart tightened, and he looked at Fan Jian in astonishment, obviously a little surprised by the news that Zhu Jun and Cao Cao captured Luoyang, because there was no such record in history.

But Dong Zhuo slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Back then, Cao Cao wanted to assassinate our family, and the revenge has not been settled with him. How dare he join forces with Zhu Jun to oppose our family? Chen Wei, you must kill Cao Cao for our family this time." Cut off the head!"

Fan Jian shook his head grimly, and said, "Grand Master, there is news that Cao Cao got a counselor half a year ago. The establishment of 30 Qingzhou soldiers is due to his ingenious strategy!"

"Besides, half a month ago, this strategist conspired to let Cao Cao go south to Xuzhou, defeated Liu Bei, and occupied Xuzhou. Liu Bei could only rely on Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. This man even made great strategies for Cao Cao and won major victories. Cao Cao has already respected him Military division!" Fan Jian said.

Chen Wei was amazed that Cao Cao got such a military advisor. Just as he was guessing whether this person was Guo Jia or Xu You, Dong Zhuo was startled and angry, and shouted, "Who is this advisor?"

Fan Jian said: "This man was born half a year ago, no one knows his origin, but I found out that he is from Longzhong, Jingzhou, his surname is Zhuge, and his name is Liang!"

"What?" The wine glass in Chen Wei's hand fell to the ground like thunder, and he was shocked.He grabbed Fan Jian's arm heavily with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "Fan Changshi, what did he say his name was just now?"

"Zhuge Liang, named Kongming!" Fan Jian said.

Chen Wei was inexplicably shocked and did not turn around for a long time.how is this possible?If that person is Zhuge Liang, who is the Zhuge Kongming I know?

Dong Zhuo looked at Chen Wei with dissatisfaction, obviously thinking that Chen Wei was afraid of Cao Cao and timid before fighting.

Fan Jian looked at Chen Wei suspiciously, and asked, "General Chen, do you know this person?"

Chen Wei finally came back to his senses slowly, knowing that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly covered up: "No, at first I thought it was someone I knew, but it turned out that I misheard at first."

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo was slightly relieved.

Fan Jian said with a smile: "The world is so big, Zhuge's surname is not rare. It is reasonable for General Chen to mishear. However, this Zhuge Liang is just a fledgling, but after the battle between Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he has become famous all over the world. But this man is cruel. After conquering Xuzhou, in order to find Liu Bei, he even massacred the city, and all 20 people in Xuzhou were murdered by him.

Chen Wei's heart turned sharply as if a weight was on it.In history, Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei. How could he help Cao Cao, and in order to kill Liu Bei, he even slaughtered Xuzhou?

"Now Cao Cao has occupied Qingzhou and Xuzhou, Shandong and Shanxi are all in Cao Cao's hands, with 60 troops, and Zhuge Liang also made a plan to let Cao Cao lead an army of 30 to advance along the upper reaches of the Yellow River, pointing his sword at Luoyang, in an attempt to kill Chang'an and hijack the young emperor. The political purpose of commanding the princes with the Son of Heaven!" Fan Jian said solemnly.

Chen Wei was inspired. He clearly remembered that in history, after Dong Zhuo's death, Cao Cao indeed hijacked the young emperor to return to Xuchang, achieving the purpose of coercing the emperor and commanding the princes.Modern historians believe that Cao Cao's move established his future hegemony, which shows how important the strategy of "holding the emperor to command the princes" is, and this strategy was proposed to Cao Cao by this "Zhuge Liang"?
Chen Wei's heart was in a mess, no matter how hard he listened to Fan Jian's words.

After the discussion, Chen Wei and Fan Jian left Meiwu together.

"Chen Wei, congratulations!" Fan Jian saw that Dong Zhuo was not there, and the two finally recovered their friendship.He didn't expect Chen Wei to be promoted to Hussar General during the time he left Chang'an.

"It's not easy to win a life, and it's not a happy thing." Chen Wei's heart was heavy because of "Zhuge Liang" in his heart, and he didn't have much mood for Fan Jian's congratulations.

"As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and General Chen naturally understands this truth!" Fan Jian said with a slight smile.

Chen Wei nodded his head.

"Chen Wei, I'm afraid this expedition will not go smoothly, you have to be mentally prepared!" Fan Jian sighed.
