“General Lu, my lord wants you to temporarily leave the army outside the city.”
“As for you yourself, you can enter Luoyang with two personal soldiers.”
The envoy sent by Dong Zhuo said to Lu Bu with a smile.
In fact, Dong Zhuo’s operation is understandable.
It is more trustworthy to let Lu Bu lead two soldiers into the city, while the other troops are temporarily stationed outside the city.
Otherwise, tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops will Entering the city together, no matter how big-hearted Dong Zhuo is, he really can’t bear it
“Hahahaha, okay, please go back and report to Governor Dong. My lord will enter the city according to his orders. Gu
Xuan sent the envoy away, turned to Lu Bu and said:
“Father-in-law, under Dong Zhuo’s pressure, Yuan Shao and others temporarily retreated”
“But at present, the strength of the two parties has not been greatly reduced, which is not conducive to our army’s next plan.”
“Not as good as this……”
Gu Xuan informed Lu Bu of his plan.
After hearing this, Lu Bu looked excited and held Fang Tian’s painted halberd tightly.
Even if he is not the kind of monarch who is good at strategy, he can still hear the subtleties of this plan!
Let me ask, do the Yuan family really want to give in?
Of course not!
But the existing power in their hands alone was not enough to defeat Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Lu Bu, who appeared as a third party force, naturally became the decisive factor in the struggle between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family.
Lu Bu’s choice will directly determine Luoyang’s final ownership!
At this moment, another sentry came to Lu Bu and reported:
“To report to the lord, the Yuan family sent Zhang Yang. Gu
Xuan said with a smile:”Father-in-law, it just so happens that Zhang Yang is here on behalf of the Yuan family, which saves us having to send someone else over.” Lu
Bu nodded and handed over the task of meeting Zhang Yang to Gu Xuan.
Seeing Gu Xuan, Zhang Yang said urgently:
“Changheng, go and report to Fengxian!”
“Why didn’t he lead troops into Luoyang to help Taifu Yuan?”
“After the matter is completed, the Taifu is willing to declare that Fengxian will be a hussar general! Gu
Xuan calmly handed Zhang Yang a glass of water and said comfortingly:
“Prefect Zhang, it’s not that my lord doesn’t want to support Taifu Yuan, but that he has to stop his army here now.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang said doubtfully:
“What does Fengxian mean?”
“At present, the Bingzhou army is controlled by Fengxian. Is it possible that some people are unwilling to obey?”
Gu Xuan pretended to look around, as if he was sure that his voice would not be heard by others, and then whispered in Zhang Yang’s ear:
“Governor Zhang, let’s be honest, many generals in the army have been secretly instigated by Dong Zhuo to rebel!”
“If my father-in-law leads troops directly into Luoyang now, what if those guys who were instigated by Dong Zhuo take the opportunity to cause chaos and seize the command of the Bingzhou Army?”
Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Zhang Yang’s eyes!
Although he is not a fierce general on the battlefield, he can be regarded as a person who knows soldiers.
Sometimes the command power of the army does not only lie with the commander-in-chief.
Such as middle- and high-level officers , who in the army can not have some confidants?
Therefore.
Even the supreme commander of the army can often only command some of the soldiers in the army, not all.
When Gu Xuan said this, Zhang Yang finally understood.
Lu Bu said this Doing it is for the good of the Yuan family!
After all.
If you don’t enter Luoyang, even if the generals who were instigated by Dong Zhuo want to defect to Dong Zhuo, they will be unable to do so for the time being under the intimidation of Lu Bu.
But if you enter Luoyang, if Lu Bu is overthrown by those generals , the situation may be even worse for the Yuan family!
“Why!!!”
“It’s not easy to follow the lead!”
Zhang Yang lamented.
Gu Xuan smiled and said:”Prefect Zhang, actually my father-in-law has another plan, but it requires Prefect Zhang’s cooperation. Zhang
Yang asked quickly, as if grasping a life-saving straw:
“I don’t know what the plan is? I hope Changheng will let you know soon! Gu
Xuan handed over his hand and said,”Prefect Zhang, those generals who were instigated by Dong Zhuo to rebel are, to put it bluntly, just grassroots.””
“If they saw that Dong Zhuo did not have an overwhelming advantage in Luoyang City, their thoughts of joining Dong Zhuo would be extinguished.”
“But this…needs the cooperation of Mr. Yuan”
“Think about it, if Taifu Yuan retreated and did not dare to fight Dong Zhuo;”
“Those on the fence will naturally think that Dong Zhuo has the advantage.”
“But if Taifu Yuan takes the initiative to attack Dong Zhuo;”
“If my lord chooses the right time to lead his army into Luoyang, those generals who are useless will no longer dare to cause trouble again when they see Dong Zhuo’s disadvantage!”
These words actually have a sophistical meaning.
But Zhang Yang’s task at the moment is to persuade the Bingzhou Army to join the battlefield and assist Yuan Wei.
Therefore, he did not feel anything wrong, but felt that what Gu Xuan said was quite reasonable.!
This is exactly the case.
Many times, some poisonous chicken soup sounds right at first glance!
But after you practice it, you will find that it is completely sophistry!
At this moment, Zhang Yang’s rhythm has been interrupted by Gu Xuan , and involuntarily entered the”talking trap” set by Gu Xuan for him.
Gu Xuan was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Zhang Yang to respond.
Finally, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said:
“I’m going to report this to Mr. Yuan.”
“After Taifu makes a decision, please enter the city quickly!”
Gu Xuan nodded.
Zhang Yang can’t make the decision on this kind of thing.
But will Yuan Wei be fooled?
The answer is yes!
Before this, Yuan Wei had already spent 100,000 Bingzhou soldiers for half a year in order to win over Lu Bu. Military pay!
Even for the Yuan family, which has a big business, this military pay is not a small amount.
It means that Yuan Wei has invested a lot of money in Lu Bu.
But now, if Lu Bu does not help the Yuan family, but turns around to help Dong Zhuo.
How can it be? Doesn’t it mean that all the Yuan family’s investments were in vain?
Furthermore, what is Yuan Wei’s status?
He was the imperial tutor, a veteran of three dynasties, the current patriarch of the Yuan family, and the head of the world’s noble family!
So many titles combined Yuan Wei, but was suppressed by Dong Zhuo, who was once just a running dog in Yuan Wei’s eyes, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
Yuan Wei couldn’t afford to lose this face!
Therefore, whether from the perspective of face or from the perspective of interests, Yuan Wei did not There is no reason to reject Gu Xuan’s proposal.
With Lu Bu joining, Yuan Wei’s winning rate will rise sharply.
On the contrary, if Lu Bu is unwilling to help the Yuan family, or just sit back and ignore it.
In this struggle between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family, The Yuan family will be completely defeated!
The gambler’s mentality is often so terrible.
If Yuan Wei had not invested in Lu Bu and had not broken up with Dong Zhuo, he might have more choices now.
But now, it is left to him In addition to continuing to survive, the only option is to unite with Lu Bu to expel Dong Zhuo!
