After his son-in-law Li Ru persuaded Xu Rong to leave, he comforted Dong Zhuo and persuaded him to calm down. Then he said, "Father-in-law, the matter of Jiangxia has come to this point, and it's too late to regret it."
"There is a reliable news to be reported. Zhu Kui raised 30,000 infantry and cavalry in a county. Although most of them were new troops, they were all young and strong. They trained them with strength and cooperated with their superior soldiers under their command.
The combat power of the rear armor should not be underestimated. I asked the soldiers who fled back in detail just now. They all said that the Jiangxia soldiers were all armored and could not break through, so they could have one enemy, two or even three enemy, so the son-in-law thought it was appropriate to be Xu Xu
Pictured.”
After hearing what my son-in-law said, he was a little surprised: "I don't want Jiangnan to be so rich." Dong Zhuo thought so in his heart. How much should it cost to have three thousand soldiers equipped with armor? That should be the most elite thousands of people in the other party's hands.
Thinking of the wealthy people in Hedong that could not make so many armors, I felt unhappy again, and I felt unwilling to ask: "In this way, let others support Liu Bian, can I fight against me?"
"For the sake of the present, we should first curb the person. My son-in-law thought that the royal family member Liu Biao could be the governor of Jingzhou and live in one state, so that the two of them could compete for power and profit. Then let Yuan Shu be the governor of Yuzhou, and then give him the position of Nanyang Prefect.
The Yuan family and Zhu Kui were incompatible, which could prevent his troops from leaving the Central Plains. In addition, Liu Yao was the governor of Yangzhou to lead Jiangdong, blocking his going east and cutting off his roots."
"He could not move with such a three-sided bread clip, and he would not be able to move, so he would defend the land of three parts. In the future, his father-in-law stabilized the situation in various places and then sent a large number of troops to decide."
Li Rushao thought about time and came up with a safe plan to counterattack.
After hearing Li Ru's analysis, Dong Zhuo felt relaxed, but it was a fruitful result. Although Zhu Kui robbed Liu Bian, it is hard to tell which of the two sides is orthodox. If there is a picture of the chaotic world today, Dong Zhuo is willing to give it to him.
With high officials and generous salaries, this group of people always accepts the truth, and the price of loyalty is depreciating increasingly.
However, Dong Zhuo always had a little concern about Yuan Shu and asked: "The Yuan family deeply hated me for forcing his father to depose the emperor and fled to Luoyang. If he was granted the important position of the provincial governor, wouldn't he be worried about raising a tiger?"
Li Ru waved his hand and smiled, "My son-in-law thinks that the princes of Guandong are too few. My father-in-law can divide the scholars from all over the country and give them important positions as county magistrates and prefects. As long as there are many princes of Guandong, they cannot be arranged in the same order. As long as the father-in-law removes Huangfu Song.
, occupy the land in Guanzhong, dominate the Qin Dynasty, cultivate and survive for a few years, and sometimes people lobby for the various princes to promote wars. At that time, the troops will leave Wuguan and Hangu, and the world will be accomplished."
Li Ru talked loudly, and Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh as if any powerful enemy had been destroyed in front of him, achieving great achievements.
After a while, after coming back to his senses, Dong Zhuo asked again: "This time, let the little emperor issue an order to order Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan to go to Beijing to report their duties. Do you think they will hand over the military power and enter the capital alone?"
"Is this? The son-in-law can only say that with the character of these two people, he has a 70% chance of accepting his compassion. But next, the father-in-law will be more gentle to the common people and officials, and he should not be like when he first entered Luoyang.
He was so generous." Li Ru advised.
This big hand refers to the plunder of the palace maids of Dong Zhuodu Palace and the wife and daughter of the ministers.
This made Li Ru a little scared and had been persuaded several times.
"I understand, you go back, I'll take a break." Dong Zhuo shouted softly with some disapproval.
Jingzhao Yin, Chang'an.
Huangfu Li walked on the horse, looking gloomy. The news from Luoyang during this period was so shocking. It was not long before Emperor Ling died. He Jin summoned foreign generals, the ten eunuchs killed He Jin, and the Yuan brothers rushed into the palace. The ten generals died and the emperor fled north. Later, Dong Zhuo entered the capital and reorganized the government with hegemony and established the emperor.
Now the new emperor Liu Xie has an edict, asking his father to enter Luo with his uncle Zhu Jun...
"My man is already in a difficult situation, but now the building is about to collapse?" Huangfu Li sighed in his heart. He heard the news from Fufeng and rushed back quickly, and he advised his father not to fall into Dong Zhuo's trick. If he was single, he would be alone. When you enter Luoyang, life and death are not free, which is no different from death.
Turning into an alley, walking dozens of feet forward, and reaching the gate of General Zuo’s mansion, the servant saluted respectfully: “The Major General is back.”
Huangfu Li came to her senses and asked while dismounting, "Can my father be in the mansion?"
"exist."
Huangfu Li nodded, threw the whip to the servants, entered the door, and was naturally very familiar with his home. He walked a few quick steps and then walked into the hall and stepped in.
There were three people in the hall, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun sat together above, and his father, Liang Yan, was standing next to him.
"Li'er is back." Huangfu Song laughed loudly. Although his voice was loud, there was a layer of unconcealed fatigue floating on his face. He had long calculated that his son would come back, and the reason was clear.
"I have met Uncle Jun and Uncle Liang" Huangfu Li saluted to the guest first.
After the ceremony, he bent his feet and knelt in front of Huangfu Song, and said straight to the point: "Dong Zhuo forged the edict and the saint's will. This is what I want to do to make my 30,000 Yulin cavalry in Jingzhao. My father and uncle Jun are definitely better than to be summoned to Luo. .” After saying that, tears fell down.
The three people in the hall had already discussed this matter, and the chief Liang Yan also tried hard to persuade him and said in a voice: "Dong Zhuo had violated the order and refused to serve as the governor of Bingzhou. The troops stationed in Hedong did not move forward, so he was traitorous and was now in court again. The two generals, the commander of Xijiang, are angry and resentful. Why don’t you follow the will of the people and fight against the rebels?”
Zhu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Dong Zhuo has tens of thousands of people in Hedong, very strong, not Yi with him..." Huangfu Song nodded slightly. He had worked with Xiliang before, so he naturally had some understanding of this person.
"Uncle's words are wrong." Huangfu Li disagreed and said seriously: "Dong Zhuo, a violent man, killed the young emperor, but the soldiers refused to accept it, and took it under his tyranny. His uncle and father were powerful all over the world, and they were very grateful to the soldiers and had great righteousness. It will definitely defeat it wither and decay."
"I'm willing to be a pioneer!"
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly at Huangfu Li's request. If Dong Zhuo could be easily removed, how could the court let it go? It was not that simple. He said: "If he rashly attacked Dong Zhuo, if he was anxious and hurt the emperor, I wouldn't have to do it. Wouldn’t a man become a sinner for eternity?”
"Sinner." This is exactly where the two of them are. They are old, both over fifty years old. Although they are still able to pull the bow, their strength is no longer as strong as before. The trauma they suffered in their early years, and as soon as the weather warms up, they will suffer. The vague pain is now well known all over the world. If you do military affairs again, if you take a wrong step, the faces of the people of the Guandong princes are very clear. At that time, the iron pen of history books was infamous for thousands of years, and in this life All work is in vain.
The two of them had already confirmed their feelings, just like the same thing, the country was the best partner, and the Chief Liang Yan knew that Huangfu Song could not be moved, so he sighed and left.
"If Dong Zhuo is not killed now, I am afraid that the two riders will regret it in the future."
Zhu Jun smiled bitterly again, and made an appointment with Huangfu Song to set off in three days, and said goodbye and left.
Huangfu Song personally saw him off to the door. When he returned to the hall, his son Huangfu Li caught a wine pot and kept drinking it upside down.
Maybe the alcohol content is too shallow, only half a liter, and with some alcohol incest, rushed to Huangfu Song and persuaded him again: "Father, I think what Liang Changshi said makes sense. Dong Zhuo, it's a disaster. My father is Gu Zhongyi, and my father is the best. Eliminate disasters, then sing the golden drum, put the formation into the formation, lead the troops into the capital, clear the king's side, pull the loyal and righteous, and achieve the affairs of Huan Wen..."
"Stop the mouth" Huangfu Song's expression changed drastically. Huan Wen refers to Duke Huan of Qi among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Duke Wen of Jin had a clear intention, which was to respect the emperor internally, control the world externally, and achieve hegemony.
Many people have said similar things to him over the years, such as Changshi Liang Yan and others, so they believe in the capital order. Yan Zhong, Hanyang, even advised him to make his own independence and change his dynasty. Now even his son has said this. It really shocked him...
"Father……"
Huangfu Li felt a little aggrieved when he was scolded by Huangfu Song. He didn't understand why his father ordered Dong Zhuo to fall into the trap and was unwilling to eliminate thieves for the country.
Huangfu Song's face was gloomy and he sighed for a long time: "Okay, Li'er, you are drunk, I have decided, there is no need to say anything about entering the capital."
"Yes, father."
Seeing his son leaving silently in tears, Huangfu Song felt a little painful in his heart, but he quickly took it firmly, came to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and looked firm: "I have been loyal to the great man all my life and obeyed the emperor's destiny. If you don’t die, you will do something that will cause trouble to the people.”
I don’t know how many people can understand this and how many people can do it.
The last loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
But I don’t know if they would make the same decision if they received news of Zhu Kui’s support for the Shao Emperor to rise again later, or if they would make Jiangxia, Nantou.
After all, three days later, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were ordered to enter Luoyang together, and there was no news that the young emperor was already in Jiangxia before.
Seeing these two old loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty so sensible and obediently entering the capital, Dong Zhuo was also embarrassed and threatened the Chang'an Yulin Army to replace the generals of the central army. He quickly mastered the most elite Yulin Cavalry of the Han Dynasty. A big rise.
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were placed under house arrest in court, and were appointed as the chief censor, gradually fading out of the historical stage.
Fortunately, the name of loyalty and righteousness that the two expected was preserved and passed down to future generations.
