Chapter 60, The Quartet Gathers Luoyang City (Part 2)
Er Xun's face was confused. The information between them and Jia Xu was inconsistent, so how could they know the purpose of his coming here to find them.
Although this matter must have something to do with them, and they happened to be on the way from Cai Yong's house and passed Xun Yu's house, so they went directly to Xun Yu's house to talk about this matter, but just
It's a bit confusing for them if one is related to them.
But soon the two of them thought of something. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Jia Xu also noticed the change in their faces. He frowned, thinking how could these two people do this?
Knowing this, do they also have their own sources of information?
Although he just asked them if they could guess it, it was just a casual question. Now that he noticed this, he became a little worried. Xun Yu saw something and said: "Wen He, I can't hide it from my uncle and nephew.
Just now we were discussing the spy team here.
When Yuan Tan's subordinates in Hebei discovered the news about Yu's brother Xun Chen and Xun Youruo, Wen He, who was in charge of the spy team, would naturally know the news. Now he came over and said that it was related to my uncle and nephew. Could it be that Hua Xiong was here?
What does it have to do with Youruo?"
After hearing Xun Yu's explanation, Jia Xu felt relieved. At the same time, he also secretly praised these uncles and nephews for their boldness and carefulness. With their character, intelligence, and strategies, it is no wonder that the Lord would value them so much and spend a lot of time to win him over.
The two are back together, and now it seems that they have definitely made a profit.
Sighing, Jia Xu said: "You two guessed right, this matter is indeed related to Xun Chen, but I'm afraid you still don't know that Yuan Tan's tens of thousands of troops have left Jizhou and followed the trail bordering Jizhou and Bingzhou.
Heading straight for Hanoi. When I received the news, they had already entered Hanoi County. Now I am afraid that they will encounter the Hanoi garrison. However, the garrison hastily responded to the battle and may not be able to resist for long."
Xun Yu and Xun You were both surprised. Even if they dared to think about it, they would not dare to say that Xun Chen took a wrong approach and passed directly past Lu Bu and Bingzhou and took the road in the middle.
Although Jia Xu said it simply, this matter is by no means that simple to accomplish. Whether it is Lu Bu himself or Chen Gong. Although some carelessness cannot be ruled out, being able to hide it from their eyes and ears is worthy of recognition, not to mention the number.
Thousands of horses and horses are passing through like this,
There must be a lot of cover and diversion methods. Of course, these only work at the beginning. After Lu Bu and others react later, they will no longer work. But as long as they win that moment, they can get enough diversion.
Time is already a victory.
Of course, luck plays a big part in this matter. I'm afraid that even if Xun Chen designed all this, he can't guarantee that it will succeed. It's just a desperate plan to survive. If it succeeds, there is still a glimmer of hope.
If he went there and waited until Lu Bu's army came to kill him, he would be dead, but he didn't expect that they would be killed.
Lu Bu was full of confidence and led a large army to kill the general. Originally, he had planned to crush the general directly, but now it seems that he just gave the opponent a chance, especially in Wei County, he gave it to the opponent before he could fully reorganize it.
There is a gap in the passage; as for Bingzhou Chen Palace, which is based in Wuyuan, although Taiyuan prefect Cang Ci is asked to pay attention to the situation in the east, he is in a passive posture. It is normal that he cannot be discovered when the opponent deliberately covers it.
Looking at it now, Xun Chen should have played a big role in the success of this matter. If Yuan Tan really had such ability, he would not have always been outdone by his younger brother Yuan Shang in front of Yuan Shao before, and Yuan Tan was
They gained the upper hand in the contest with Yuan Shang, and it was also after the name Xun Chen began to appear in their sights and in the intelligence of the spy team. It can be imagined how important a role he played in the Yuan Tan Group.
And what happened next, including how Hua Xiong's visit to Cai Yong was related to Xun Chen, they could guess roughly without Jia Xu saying more. Sure enough, they heard Jia Xu say: "Then Yuan Tan's army entered Sili Xiaowei
After the ministry, we will send people to start
After getting in touch with Ma Chao and Li Ru, according to their plan, they should want to collude with some old people in Luoyang City and those who are dissatisfied with the Taiwei, in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty and expelling the rebels, both internally and externally.
Going down to Luoyang..."
It was not surprising to them that Jia Xu knew this. After all, they had already known the secrets of the spy group he was in charge of. If it weren't for several major changes in Yuan Shao's army, even the members of the spy group who were involved in it would not be surprised.
It is also difficult to obtain much useful information and will
After the intelligence was sent, Yuan Tanjun would not be able to slip under Lu Bu's nose smoothly, but Lu Bu only received the news later. It can be said that this is the biggest drawback of the inconvenient channels for transmitting information in this era. It can be regarded as the era's
The limitations are beyond human control.
Jia Xu added: "However, this Hua Xiong was not sent by Li Ru. It should be noted that Li Ru was not willing to be our enemy. He was only forced by Zhang Xiu's incident and had no choice but to do this; and
Even if Hua Xiong is a reckless man, it is impossible for him to think that Cai Yong is someone he can persuade to deal with us. What he said is just to cover up Li
It's just Confucianism's side. If you look at it according to Xu, I'm afraid it's someone else who actually comes in to contact people in the city. It should be Yuan Tan's side. Only there is someone who has friendship and connections with the big shots in the court.
I am sure that the person to persuade is there, but I don’t know who this person is, let alone who he will go to. This is what Xu is most concerned about and worried about.”
Xun Yu was silent for a moment and asked: "Then Wen He came to see me, wouldn't he just talk about this matter?"
Jia Xu had to secretly praise him in his heart. This Xun Yu was indeed a sharp thinker, and he was indeed the one favored by Marquis Wen. This was the second time he had sighed like this today.
Concentrating his mind, Jia Xu asked seriously: "I do have something else to ask you two: I wonder if you two think it was possible that Xun Chen personally did the matter of going to Luoyang to contact the officials, and if it was him, he might go there."
Who are you looking for?"
Although Xun Chen has been unhappy for a long time, as long as he has a stage to perform, the Yingchuan Xun family can be his solid backing, and his network of contacts can also be used by him. Of course,
The three generations of Xun Shuang, Xun Yu and Xun You, who can't do it on Lu Bu's side, are all the best among them and have huge influence. But if you add the influence of the Yuan family through Yuan Tan, then it must not be underestimated.
.
Xun Yu pondered for a while before speaking again: "Youruo and I haven't met each other for several years, and I don't know if he has changed much now, but based on Yu's understanding of him, he should be involved in such personal dangers."
I won’t do it.”
Glancing at Jia Xu, he changed his words and added: "But if there is a change, the only people who come to look for him are those few people. Wen He only needs to send people to pay close attention to the recent movements of these people, and then follow the clues.
.Naturally you can find the person."
Xun You added on the side: "We must also be on guard against others. It is best to let the spies under our command worry more. It is best to include civil and military officials with some influence in the court or important positions in the army in the city under surveillance.
"
Jia Xu nodded. His spy team had a large number of people and was extremely powerful. He was not worried about any mistakes that would occur if the workload was increased like this. It was just that the surveillance work itself had some flaws and shortcomings that were difficult to solve. But looking at it now
Come, but that’s all we can do.
…
When the emperor of the dynasty, General Wei Fuwan dragged his heavy body back to his home in Luoyang Lifang with a tired look on his face. He did not deliberately ride a horse as usual in order to show his relationship with the army.
He came back by war horse instead of carriage. He was so tired that he didn't want to move more. This tiredness came more from mental torture.
He didn't have a good impression of Lu Bu. Lu Bu dealt with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao's death was regarded as a great victory in Luoyang. But in Fu Wan's heart, he still felt a little sorry for Yuan Shao. For him, Yuan Shao, who was born in the family of the fourth generation and the three princes, could not be better than that.
A martial artist is much better; but that's all. He has not paid much attention to the situation in the world recently, and focuses more on how to persuade the young emperor.
Although he didn't like Lü Bu, he had to admit that compared to Dong Zhuo's time in power, Lü Bu, besides holding on to military power and never letting go, was a model of a human minister in other aspects.
He had no reason to strongly oppose the 100,000 troops from Xiliang, although he had secretly contacted the people who had been deployed there before.
, let them pay more attention, and once Lu Bu makes any changes, they must try their best to delay or even destroy it, and secondly, they must report immediately; of course, the more important reason is the troublesome little emperor. No one can figure out that with such a well-assisted military minister,
It can be said that when the best basic conditions were in place to create a big situation, the most unexpected link appeared.
For Fu Wan and other state abbots, it is necessary to guide Liu Xie on the right path, no matter from the perspective of the country, the family, or the individual, and what is the so-called "right path" that they recognize?
"? Naturally, it is the right thing to do and be an upright and orthodox ruler. But now when the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in chaos, Liu Xie's role becomes particularly important. At this time, he represents a very important person.
It's not just him.
In this case, the slightest disturbance in the palace will make them nervous and nervous, not to mention that Liu Xie has been increasingly developing in the direction of an unscrupulous man who is greedy for pleasure and addicted to women, which makes them unable to control themselves.
They simply cannot remain indifferent.
But as the saying goes, things must turn against each other. Once he let go, there was no need for Lu Bu to coerce and seduce Liu Xie. Liu Xie had already completed the trilogy of self-destruction of women, wine and fun. Now, except for Queen Fu Shou, the other noble concubines in the palace
The concubine basically enjoys his presence every day.
Surprisingly, during this process, it turned out that Dong Guiren, the second-largest figure in the royalist faction and the daughter of the patriarch Dong Cheng, was pregnant. She was pregnant not long ago, but it was definitely a great news for the royal family and these royalist ministers.
, after all, in ordinary people’s homes these days, having a wife is something to be thankful for, let alone in the royal family.
However, some bad phenomena also occurred. For example, there was a gap in the relationship between Fu Wan and Dong Cheng. As the queen, Fu Shou has been quiet until now. It is even said that Liu Xie has not been to the queen at all during this period.
Palace, Donggui here has the blood of the emperor again, teach
Fu Wan felt strange in his heart. He was somewhat jealous of Dong Cheng, who had been so cheerful recently and had not restrained himself in front of everyone. The two of them used to have a tacit understanding, but they often argued with each other over some small issues. On the contrary, Song Guo needed to be
Come out and make things right.
But no matter what, everyone has the same goal on one thing, that is, to continue to persuade the emperor. On the one hand, Dong Guiren is pregnant. It is best to take care of him during this period and not to exert too much favor.
Well, the little emperor should also spend more time on the somewhat neglected government affairs. This is their greatest expectation for him.
Unfortunately, judging from the current performance of the little emperor, it is still the same. He obviously did not listen to their persuasion at all. This is also the most frustrating point for Fu Wan and others. After all, the young emperor will not listen to persuasion, so they can only continue to persuade them.
, there is nothing that can be done against him; but Liu Xie has many ways to avoid them. He goes to have fun himself and has others block them.
It's a common thing outside. So far, I haven't done anything serious to them. I just gave them an occasional warning, which is enough to be sensible and to give face. After all, the three heads of state go into battle together every time, but no one knows.
How long can the little emperor's patience last? If one day he loses his patience, maybe... he won't know what to do even after finishing the test.
When people are walking on thin ice, they are facing a tyrant like a tiger, or a shrewd and wise king, but now facing Liu Xie's situation, Fu Wan really doesn't know what to say.
"call!"
I had just rested for a while at the house, and before I had closed my eyes after lying down, I heard someone outside asking for permission, and a white jade plaque-shaped token was immediately presented to me.
The moment Fu Wan saw it, his eyelids twitched, and then he asked quietly: "Are the people here male or female, how old are they, how are they dressed, and how many people are there in total?"
"There are two people, one master and one servant. The master is about forty. He has a long and narrow scar on his face. He looks like a scribe. The servant is very powerful and may be a military general."
Fu Wan nodded, but he had some doubts in his heart. This seemed to be different from what he remembered, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Invite them in..." After a while, he added: "Look around to see if there are any
If there is any suspicious person, go through the front door; if there is no suspicious person, go through the side door..."
After a while, after closing his eyes and concentrating, he heard the sound of footsteps in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw a middle-aged scribe who was eight feet tall, with a slender figure and elegant appearance that was unfortunately marred by a long and narrow scar on his face walking towards him.
When I came over, I was immediately surprised: "It's you!"
There was a smile of relief on the visitor's face, as if he was happy that the other party could recognize him, although the surprise in Fu's words was far more than the excitement of seeing old friends again. (To be continued...)
