When Shen Que talked about this, he felt quite proud.
Among them, there are many strategies for combining vertical and horizontal lines, and the calculations between each other are naturally partly due to him, Lord Shen.
The day Beigong Liulu entered Luoyang, it was already destined that a turmoil would break out in Xiqiang.
That's fine too.
The Xiqiang were stationed at the western border of the imperial court, and they have been getting stronger and stronger over the years.
Today, I have long had the intention of uprooting it.
However, although Xiqiang had rebellious intentions, he was good at hiding it and never showed it. Even though the emperor wanted to kill him, he could not find a suitable excuse.
In addition, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, although he held the military power at the border, showed an easy-going temperament. As long as the Xiqiang did not invade, he would never take the initiative to attack, but would only defend passively.
This approach undoubtedly allowed the Xiqiang to grow.
Therefore, now that the Xiqiang has taken the initiative to invade, they have forced Dong Zhuo to send troops to annihilate them. This is really a good thing!
As long as Dong Zhuo finishes this battle and has merit, Liu Hong can justifiably promote him and transfer him back to Luoyang to be a first- and second-grade official, reducing his military power and promoting him openly and secretly. .
As long as the governor of Xiliang is reassigned and takes control of the Xiliang border defense force, it is equivalent to having all the means of Dong Zhuo's men in his hands, so what is there to fear?
Even if Shen Que knew in his heart that the start of the Xiqiang Rebellion was inseparable from Dong Zhuo, what could he do?
It is not easy for a boy from a poor family to climb to the position of governor of a state. Could it be that that guy dares to get involved in something?
What he seeks is just those official positions.
But is official position important?
As the emperor, as long as he uses the ten permanent attendants to die with the family, he will be able to regain power at that time.
At that time, even if he is an official among the Three Officials, his life or death will not be a matter of his words?
Therefore, Liu Hong and Shen Que never worry about these things, they have great confidence!
However, Xiao Wen knew that the so-called self-confidence of these little foxes would in the end be the graves they dug for themselves.
But……
What the hell does this have to do with myself?
The position of the governor of Xiliang is indeed good.
Although there are risks, the benefits are higher!
so……
I took it!
"I see. I think by the time the battle on our side is over, Master Dong's battle to quell the rebellion will be over."
"When the time comes, Dong Zhuo will be transferred to the capital, and I will take office to gather military power for Your Majesty and guard one side!"
"Brother is really good at calculating! I admire you!"
Xiao Wen complimented Shen Que several times.
After hearing these words, the smile on Shen Que's face became even stronger.
This kind of compliment was extremely helpful to Shen Que. He narrowed his eyes slightly and the look on his face was extremely satisfied.
"It's not a calculation, it's just some daily tips for being an official. When my brother enters the officialdom in the future, you will naturally understand these things."
"However, I don't know whether Mr. Dong can finish that battle. Now, Lu Zhi has been recruited as a general to conquer the Yellow Turbans. The important city Guangzong he is stationed in has lost his manpower."
"Zhang Rang once advised His Majesty to transfer Huangfu Song to Xiliang to resist the Xiqiang. He also transferred Dong Zhuo to garrison in Guangzong to attack the Yellow Turbans."
"It's just that His Majesty didn't adopt his suggestion. He just found an excuse to suppress it."
"But you also know the pressure that His Majesty is shouldering. If you want to use the power of the Ten Permanent Attendants to deal with aristocratic families, you have to make them feel favored and powerful!"
"If I guess correctly, the transfer order will come out soon!"
Shen Que lowered his voice and told Xiao Wen some secret things about the court.
Anyway, this kid is one of our own, so there is no need to hide it.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't say much, but the look on his face looked quite strange.
At that moment, he seemed to have thought of other things.
Just like...
What happened to the Confucian general Lu Zhi!
If I remember correctly, Mr. Lu should not be able to get to Changshe.
That guy Dong Zhuo really connected each link in his layout, and even the ten regular servants became pawns in his hands.
Xiao Wen couldn't help but sigh.
There are not many sober people these days who can see the overall situation, and he happens to be one of them.
"It's my brother's arrangement. No matter what my brother arranges, I will do my best to support you!" Xiao Wen promised, patting his chest.
After chatting with Shen Que for a while, he sent this person out.
After sending Shen Que away, Xiao Wen lay alone on the bed, lost in thought.
What came to mind were the words Shen Que said just now.
Today's court has become even more chaotic after the Yingchuan Rebellion.
The ten constant servants are arrogant and domineering, the family is fishing in troubled waters, and the relatives are in charge.
Even if the Taiping Dao Master doesn't make trouble, this court probably won't last long.
Xiao Wen was thinking this way, and when he was deciding whether to move out all the soldiers and horses in the entire territory, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Is someone coming again?
Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows, opened the door, and then saw Xun Yu standing at the door, looking at him expressionlessly.
That calm face made it difficult to tell what was going on in his mind.
"Mr. Xun came to visit late at night, why?" Xiao Wen looked at Xun Yu with a puzzled look on his face.
"Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. I have a friend who heard about the general's name and wants to get to know him a little bit. I want to invite the general for a drink. I wonder if the general will appreciate him?" Xun Yu asked.
Hearing such questions, Xiao Wen raised his eyebrows, which was quite surprising.
Xun Yu treated himself to a drink?
No, to be precise, it was Xun Yu’s friend who invited him to drink?
This guy is a friend in Changshe County?
Zhong Yao?
That Zhong family member who is proficient in calligraphy admires this general and wants to take the initiative to throw himself into his arms?
Pie in the sky?
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly became interested, lowered his voice and asked: "But Mr. Zhong?"
"It's not Yuan Chang." Xun Yu replied.
"If the general wants to know who he is, he will know as soon as he goes. If the general does not want to go, I will just retire and will not disturb the general's rest."
have to!
Is this guy playing charades with me now?
Do you still have to let me guess?
Although I really want to be tough and just go to bed.
However, my intuition tells me that the person who can be called a friend by Xun Wenruo must be extraordinary, so just go and see him!
Xiao Wen thought of this, and then asked Xun Yu to wait outside the door for a while. He changed into neat clothes in the room, and then went out. He asked Xun Yu to lead the way, and followed him, and together they left the mansion and headed to the west of the city. Go to a small wine shop.
In the wine shop, the fire was bright, and a figure could be vaguely seen.
When Xiao Wen opened the door and went in, he was stunned when he saw the person in front of him.
