Chapter 103 The Butterfly Effect Caused by He Jin's Struggle
The conscience of heaven and earth is to ensure that one is absolutely neutral and transcendent.
When He Jin's soft ears repeatedly tossed the question of "whether Dong Zhuo was allowed to enter Beijing", Li Su did not comment at all, nor did he let himself appear in He Jin's conspiracy small circle vision.
Li Su didn't hear a word from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but he thought it was similar to the Romance and the Three Kingdoms.
However, he lived in the capital for more than ten days, watching coldly in the name of discussing marriage with the Zhen family and helping his mentor organize classics. This allowed him to see more or less the whole story of the entire incident and gain a more flesh-and-blood understanding of the relevant parties.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing, he seemed to ignore it. Until He Jin was killed and Dong Zhuo went to Beijing, there was no resistance or twists and turns in the middle, just like an NPC.
But after Li Su personally observed it, he still saw He Jin's struggles with flesh and blood on August 12th, when Dong Zhuo arrived in Mianchi, He Jin sent the Shizhong Zhong Shao to stop him, asking Dong Zhuo to wait any longer and not act rashly.
Dong Zhuo did not come up directly, but waited for a day or two, and submitted a complaint again to make excuses before he suddenly entered Gucheng.
Then on August 15th, He Jin sent Zhong Shao to scold him for the second time. This time he spoke more sharply, and finally intimidated Dong Zhuo, allowing him to stop outside the suburbs of Gucheng, the last neighboring county west of Luoyang. He was still twenty or thirty miles away from Luoyang City, and he stopped for several days, and did not dare to move again until August 18th.
From this we can see that He Jin is not a purely stereotyped mentally retarded. During the whole process, he still struggled when he found that the situation was a little wrong.
But while struggling, He Jin saw that Dong Zhuo was persuaded to go to Gucheng County and did not dare to enter again, and became arrogant again. He felt that all the situation was in his control. What Chen Lin said, "Holding a sharp blade in his hand and giving someone a handle is the way to cause chaos" does not exist!
Who said that Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf who can eat people? I asked him to stop fifty miles west of Luoyang and he had to stop fifty miles away from the city. If he asked him to stop twenty miles away from the city, he would stop twenty miles away. It's easy to control!
Ding Yuan did not bow his head before? Maybe these foreign soldiers were checking and balancing each other.
With this idea in mind, He Jin's actions have slightly deviated slightly from the same period in history.
On August 19th, on the fourth day when Dong Zhuo's thousands of elite soldiers were stationed in the eastern suburbs of Gucheng, some new news came to Luoyang, saying that Dong Zhuo's main infantry force in Hedong began to increase troops twice, preparing to reinforce the front army that had arrived in Henan Yin. The excuse was that the front army was in a hurry and there was insufficient food and grass. The back army was not a combat force, but a "transport" grain to the front army. In this way, He Jin had no excuse to let Dong Zhuo's back team retreat.
This is not surprising, because Dong Zhuo did this in history. It was just that the deposed emperors were abolished too quickly in history, so the subsequent troops ended before they arrived and the destruction and liberation ended and did not play a substantial role in the first wave of operations.
When He Jin saw Dong Zhuo's attitude of "the front army dare not advance, wait for the rear army to reinforce", he felt distressed again, fearing that when the scale of foreign troops in a certain town reached a certain level, he would not be able to suppress it.
He Jin had no other choice, so he wanted to simply imitate the old routine that had allowed Dong Zhuo Ding Yuan to restrain each other before, and thought of other foreign soldiers near the capital.
On August 20, Li Su was writing a book on Lantai, suddenly received He Jin's summons and rushed to the general's mansion.
Li Su had a premonition in her heart, thinking that something was going to happen, but she couldn't think of what it was, so she had to be cautious.
Cai Yan was also frightened and must be careful when he was secretly taking care of him before leaving.
After arriving at the place, Li Su found that he was indeed the three old aides: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Chen Lin were there.
Of course, compared with Li Sulai, there was one less Bao Xin and Bao Xin was sent out by He Jin this month. He went to Chenliu to recruit soldiers, and immediately brought them back to the capital after recruiting new recruits. Now, it must be due to the expansion of Dong Zhuo's troops entering Beijing, so He Jin also left a hand and wanted Bao Xin to help him expand his direct military power.
No one in this world is an NPC who is waiting to die, and he will have some brains and some operations. While listening to Yuan Shao's opinions, He Jin was also trying to fine-tune and patch up the shortcomings of Yuan Shao's strategy.
"Last general Li Su, pay homage to the general."
After Li Su gave the courtesy, He Jin was rarely a little respectful to the wise and polite, "No gifts and no gifts, Li Zhonglang, I heard that you brought five hundred personal guards to Beijing?"
Li Su was startled and denied righteously: "Why did the general say this? The last generals were all under the cavalry of the generals who fought against the West. In order to prevent the treason from storing the treason, they had to fight and walk to clear the situation. They had to lead so many people, and the Han River was not convenient to go against the current.
The last general knows that foreign soldiers are not allowed to enter Beijing unless summoned by Xuan, so he only brought thirty personal guards with him, and the five hundred cavalry are still outside Yique Pass. As for the remaining 2,500 people, they are even far away in Luyang, so the general may have remembered it wrong."
He Jin waved his hand indifferently, as if he no longer cared about these great names, but just stared at the military factors and asked: "That's the case that there are three thousand people, are they all warable soldiers?"
Li Su: "They are all the elite cavalry in Youzhou who have been fighting for three years with the General of the Western Expedition. They are all white horses and skilled in bows and horses." The fastest update is mobile::
He Jin touched his chaotic beard: "Tomorrow I will make up for your order and transfer your five hundred cavalry guards into the city first. Then move the two thousand five hundred people in Luyang to outside Yique Pass."
Li Su was shocked when he heard this. Luyang was 200 miles away from Luoyang, which was the northernmost county in Nanyang County. However, Yique Pass was only fifty miles away from Luoyang. At that time, Dong Zhuo, who was only twenty miles away from the city, would be thirty miles away from the city.
That is too suspicious, and it will not be regarded as a rebel, right?
And the key is, will it affect the historical progress too much?
All Li Su’s layout in the past few years is based on the “credit collapse of the imperial center at this time”.
To put it bluntly, if you follow the logic of the officialdom for a few years, the cost of raising troops and buying officials and renewing leases in a peaceful era would have dragged down the finances.
Li Su had no choice but to bite the bullet and persuade him first: "General, I don't know what instructions should be given to summon our army...? Since ancient times, foreign troops enter the capital. If you can, it is best not to advance, so as not to cause suspicion. The general in the western expedition has always been loyal and righteous, and has never had the intention of using troops to overwhelm the capital. These troops are just for him to take the initiative..."
He Jin was stunned when he heard this. On the one hand, he sighed that Liu Bei was so pedantic and loyal, but on the other hand, he was a little unhappy.
This is a kind of displeasure that one's own authority is discouraged.
"I know Liu Bei's loyalty and righteousness! No need to emphasize it. I am the general, and I still use a reason to dispatch troops from all over the world? Do you think foreign soldiers have a bad reputation? Okay, let Ding Yuan and Zhang Zhang recruit your soldiers tomorrow. They will be the capital army from now on, so I won't be suspicious?"
When He Jin said such words, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao felt that they were going to be a disaster, so they hurriedly dissuaded: "The general should not be tempted! How could all the generals in the outside town be organized by the imperial court's money and grain?
I heard that in order to ensure the victory of the war, the generals raised money, grain, and horses and horses were mostly over the standard. These cavalry may be self-recruited. If the generals want to use it, it is better to borrow land. The generals' sincere hearts of loyal and righteous people will not be disappointed."
He Jin then realized that he was anxious and wanted to hit the other party, but he ended up over the topic.
"Recruiting private soldiers raised by generals out of their own pockets" is a taboo in the times. That is equivalent to denying the validity period of the edict that "ordered local troops to raise troops and horses to defend" when the Yellow Turbans began in the first year of Zhongping, and became a landlord armed force that the court could casually annex the self-paid landlords in various places, which was to be boycotted by all aristocratic families and powerful people.
You can call other people's soldiers to perform tasks, but you must also recognize other people's ownership of the soldiers and cannot directly change the owner.
Therefore, even if Yuan Shao and Liu Bei cannot make a good deal, He Jin must refute this.
Li Su also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that He Jin's words had passed, so he quickly gave a step: "General, I don't think so. The general wants to use us to respect us. I know that Shangshu Lu is the mentor of the general in the West, and he is one of the three important officials in the court, and he is familiar with the situation in the capital.
It would be better to do this. After my five hundred cavalry will be sent into the city tomorrow, I will be given temporary command by Secretary Lu until I return to Yizhou to report the troops and horses out of Luoyang and I will take them back. The remaining 2,500 people will be temporarily led as long as they do not enter Yique Pass. If the general wants to use it, the cavalry from the fifty miles can enter the city in two hours. Before entering the city, I will temporarily hand over the command to Secretary Lu outside the city. If I don’t enter the city, I will not deliver it if I don’t enter the city. How about it?”
Li Su's move was to describe Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness and his loyalty and caution to the extreme: as long as he enters the city, he will command Lu Zhi! But when I want to leave, these people will be taken away!
In this way, I believe Dong Zhuo will not be able to take the lead with him, but he will probably slow down.
In history, Dong Zhuo's follow-up troops from Hedong had not played a role, but this time it was probably going to play a role. It is probably impossible to depose the emperor three days after entering the city. We must spend more energy to find excuses to relocate other armed forces in Beijing, or to differentiate and win over them.
If Dong Zhuo really has tens of thousands of backing forces arrive and wants to fight Li Su, then Li Su will definitely not be able to rely on 3,000 people. At that time, he will try his best to find a way to express his desire to return to Yizhou to perform the mission!
Anyway, the mission edict had been received long ago, and he just asked for leave but had not set off for the time being, so it was hard for others to say that he had escaped at the last minute.
How can I escape after being ordered to obey the imperial edict?
He Jin did not understand the twists and turns in this, and he was just very pleased: "Okay! Li Zhonglang is worthy of knowing the destiny of heaven. He knows that the Han Dynasty will have a ten thousand years of power, so he is very loyal to the court. He can even leave the city to the wonderful method of commander Lu Zigan to avoid suspicion. Okay, I will fulfill you. When all foreign soldiers are dispersed back to their original garrison in the future, I will give you and Liu Bei a higher reward than Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan!"
Li Su expressed his sincere gratitude, but his heart was not disturbed: Do you think you can give this reward alive?
It's really turbulent.
However, Li Su had to adjust her last kick.
