Chapter 179 Lu Bu's Plan
"Mr.," Wang Yun turned around and looked at Ju Su and asked, "What should I do next?"
Ju Su twisted his beard and thought about it, then said to Wang Yun: "Mr. Zishi, from tomorrow, you will be closed to the guests and say that you have been infected with cold outside the city today and are recuperating at home."
"Young Master is very good at this plan." When Wang Yun heard Ju Zu's plan, he was stunned at first, and then his face showed a sudden enlightenment: "In this way, even if Lu Bu found out that Dong Zhuo would not marry Diao Chan, he would not be able to come here to argue with me."
When Ju Su was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something. If the series of plans were really successful and Dong Zhuo was killed, then the person in charge in Chang'an would be Wang Yun. Whether Cai Yong would return to Jizhou with him is still unknown. It would be better to say hello to Wang Yun and ask him to take good care of Cai Yong. I believe no one would include Cai Yong in Dong Zhuo's party. Thinking of this, he said to Wang Yun again: "Mr. Zishi, Su has something to ask for."
When Wang Yun heard Ju Su say something was asking for help, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, please just say it bluntly, I will do my best to help you."
"I'm not hiding it from Mr. Zishi," Ju Su said a little embarrassedly: "Su has another mission to go to Chang'an this time, which is to bring Shizhong Cai to Jizhou and gather with his daughter Cai Yan."
Wang Yun thought Ju Su was worried that when he took Cai Yong away from Chang'an, he would be blocked by the pass along the road. He quickly patted his chest and promised him, "Don't worry, you will have a document from Jizhou, and I will prepare it for you in advance."
"It's not this." Ju Su waved his hand and said with a bitter look on his face: "Before leaving Jizhou, my Tinghou told me that if Dong thief was executed, then Cai Shizhong might be regarded as Dong thief's gangster, and his life would be in danger. Therefore, he ordered me to visit Cai Shizhong in Chang'an under the pretext of giving gifts and persuade him to go to Jizhou."
After hearing Ju Su's words, Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if Shizhong Cai follows you back to Jizhou, then it will be fine; if he insists on not leaving, I promise you that as long as I can hold the power, no one can make things difficult for Shizhong Cai."
After receiving Wang Yun's promise, Ju Su breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly bowed to Wang Yun and said, "In this case, Su Su would like to thank Mr. Zishi."
Ju Su returned to the inn and rested for a night. The next morning, he took Moquan and a few soldiers and rode to Cai Yong's mansion.
Because Ju Su has been very diligent recently, the gatekeeper who guarded the gate had known him for a long time. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute him and said with a smile: "Mr. Ju, my master is in the mansion today. Please wait here. The villain will report to you now."
After a while, the gatekeeper walked back to the front door and said politely: "Mr. Ju, my master is waiting for you in the front hall, please follow me!" Ju Su was not a person who did not understand the world. When the two of them walked side by side, they stuffed a jade pendant into the gatekeeper's hands.
The concierge suddenly felt that there was something more in his hand. When he looked down, he found that it was a jade pendant. The smile on his face suddenly became a little more, and he became more attentive to Ju Su: "Sir, the snow in some places has not been cleaned yet. Pay attention to your feet when you walk."
Cai Yong stood at the door of the front hall and saw a middle-aged man wearing a black official uniform following behind his doorman and walking towards him. He guessed that this person must be Ju Su who was visiting the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Do you dare to ask if Ju Su and Ju Gong and?"
"It's right next." Ju Su quickly replied: "Jizhou Supervisor Ju Su met with Shizhong Cai."
"Your Majesty and don't have to be too polite." Cai Yong stepped forward to support Ju Su, and said to him with a smile: "Don't call me Shizhong Cai, just call me Bo Yi."
The two went into the front hall to sit down, and a servant brought tea. After the servant left, Cai Yong asked curiously: "My husband, listen to my doorman's talk. You have visited the mansion many times, but I wonder what you can do?"
Ju Su quickly took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Boji, this is a letter brought by Ling Aitou Su."
"My Zhaoji's letter." When Ju Su said that this was Cai Yan's letter, Cai Yong couldn't help but lit up. He hurriedly took the letter from Ju Su's hand, took out the letter from the envelope, and looked in front of him.
After reading the letter, Cai Yong put the letter aside and said to Ju Su: "It turns out that Zhao Ji has arrived in Jizhou and still lives in the provincial governor's mansion. In the letter she gave me, she said she missed me and hoped that I would go to Jizhou to meet her."
From Cai Yong's words, Ju Su heard something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "My Tinghou told Su that a few months ago, he sent someone to send a letter from Zhao Ji to Bo Ji. Haven't you received it?"
"No," Cai Yong shook his head and replied, "I have not heard from Zhaoji since she married into the Wei family for three years. If it weren't for Gongyu's letters, I would have thought she was still at the Wei family in Hedong."
"Strange," Ju Su couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he heard Cai Yong say this: "According to what Tinghou said, he asked Xun Yu to send a reliable person to send a letter from Zhao Ji to Shizhong. But Shizhong Cai said that he had never received any letters. What was going on? Was it a messenger on the way, or was it that someone arrested the letter after it arrived in Chang'an?"
"Honor, Huonor!" Cai Yong saw Ju Su sitting aside and called him twice. When he looked up at him, he then asked, "I wonder what Gong Yu thought of?"
"Su is thinking about where is the letter Zhao Ji wrote last time now?" In order to find out the content of the previous letter, Ju Su asked tentatively: "Is it possible that when the messenger came, Shizhong Cai happened to be not in the mansion, and it was collected by someone else?"
After listening to Ju Su's analysis, Cai Yong nodded and said, "It's possible. For several months, I have to accompany Master Dong to Meiwu every half month. Maybe when the sender came, I happened to be away, so he handed the letter to someone."
Ju Su knew that the contents of the two letters were similar, and they both persuaded Cai Yong to leave Chang'an and meet Cai Yan in Jizhou. Therefore, he did not go around in circles, but went straight to the point and said, "I wonder how Brother Bo Ji thought about it, should he leave to meet Zhao Ji as soon as possible?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cai Yong waved his head and said, "The Grand Master is grateful to me, how can I go elsewhere? Please return to Jizhou and tell Zhao Ji that if you miss being a father, you can go to Chang'an in person."
Although Han Zhan repeatedly reminded Ju Su that he would do everything possible to bring Cai Yong back to Jizhou so that he would suffer the disaster once Dong Zhuo died. Ju Su was always half-believing and half-doubting about his words, especially yesterday when he received Wang Yun's promise, he could protect Cai Yong from harm. He was not so concerned about whether he could persuade Cai Yong to go to Jizhou.
Therefore, when he heard Cai Yong say that he didn't want to leave Chang'an, he did not persuade him anymore, but followed the other party's words: "Since Brother Bo Ji doesn't want to leave Chang'an, wait for Shu to return to Jizhou, you must convey your original words to Zhaoji and ask her to come to Chang'an to meet you."
After leaving Cai's mansion, he returned to the post station and wrote a letter to Han Zhan who was far away in Jizhou, telling him that the series of plans had begun and that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo were all in the trap. Cai Yong was stubborn and did not want to leave Chang'an easily. After writing, he handed the letter to Xiahou Lan and asked him to send someone to send the letter back to Jizhou.
Xiahou Lan was a cautious man. He thought that it was a thousand miles away from Chang'an to Jizhou. Now it was winter again, and the road was covered with snow and it was inconvenient to travel. For safety reasons, he sent ten cavalry protection messengers back to Jizhou.
After leaving Chang'an, the messenger immediately rushed to Jizhou. After more than ten days of running around, he finally successfully returned to Jizhou.
Han Zhan was particularly happy when he received a letter from Ju Su and learned that the series of plans had begun. But not long after he was happy, he saw that Cai Yong was unwilling to come to Jizhou later, and his mood began to become depressed again.
He summoned Guo Jia and Xun's uncle and nephew to the meeting hall and handed the letters given to everyone to pass on. Guo Jia, who had read the letters first, smiled and said to Han Zhan: "Lord, I didn't expect that Wang Situ's plan would coincide with you. Now Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu are all in trouble. According to Jia's estimate, at most three months, the two of them will turn against each other, and then it will be the time for Dong's thief to give him a title."
After Xun Yu finished reading it, he told Han Zhan that something else was said: "Zhan'er, Shizhong Cai was stubborn and refused to go to Jizhou. Once Dong thief is removed, will he be in danger?"
"No," as soon as Xun Yu finished speaking, Xun You, who was standing beside him, continued: "Jun Ju said it very clearly in the letter. Wang Situ promised him that once Dong Thief was eliminated, he would never make anyone embarrassed by Cai Shizhong."
When Han Zhan heard Xun You's words, he was really amused and crying. He wanted to walk to Xun You and shout at him: "Other ministers will not make things difficult for Cai Yong, but it was Wang Situ, whom Ju Su trusted the most, who was the one who personally ordered Cai Yong to be killed."
Han Zhan looked up at the roof and thought painfully: He had done everything he should do. If Cai Yong still couldn't escape death in the end, it would be his life.
"Lord," Guo Jia asked Han Zhan silently, "What should I do next?"
"Fengxiao, compile a book for Ju Jianjun," Han Zhan felt that he had a last try, so he gritted his teeth and said to Guo Jia: "He ordered him to do everything possible to bring Shizhong Cai from Chang'an back to Jizhou."
Just as Guo Jia was busy preparing the book, Xun You asked in confusion: "Lord, since Wang Situ has made a promise to Ju Jianjun, are you still worried that the civil and military officials in Chang'an City will make things difficult for Shizhong Cai?"
Of course, Han Zhan could not tell Xun You the truth, so he could only smile bitterly and said perfunctorily: "If you are prepared, Shizhong Cai can only ensure his safety when he arrives in Jizhou."
After Han Zhan's letter was written, he sent a messenger to Chang'an under the escort of ten other cavalrymen.
It was half a month since Ju Su received Han Zhan's letter. At this moment, the series of plans had reached a critical moment. He did not want to be distracted by other trivial matters, so he threw the letter aside and went out to find Wang Yun.
After becoming Situ's Mansion, he came to Wang Yun's bedroom and said with a smile: "Mr. Zishi, you have been sick for more than a month. The time is ripe for now. You might as well go out to meet Lu Bu."
After hearing this, Wang Yun laughed, sat up from the couch, and said with a smile: "I am just thinking about this."
Wang Yungang ordered people to take off the sign "Not to see guests" outside the mansion, and a servant came to report: "Report to Situ, General Lu Bu is asking for a meeting outside!"
Wang Yun and Ju Su smiled at each other, and then instructed their servants: "Hurry and invite me!"
After the servant left the bedroom, Ju Su quickly got up and hid in the secret room next to him. Not long after, Lu Bu, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked into Wang Yun's bedroom under the guidance of the servant.
Seeing Lu Bu enter the door, Wang Yun quickly stood up to greet him: "General Fengxian, I have been staying in the door because of a mild illness recently, so I haven't seen him for a long time. I thought that my daughter had been married for more than a month and her dowry was still in the mansion, and she was planning to send her to the general's mansion in person. Unexpectedly, the general came to visit her first."
When Lu Bu heard Wang Yun say this, he didn't say anything, but just raised his head and sighed.
Wang Yun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why, the Grand Master has never married his little daughter to a general until today?"
After hearing this, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "The old thief has been favored for a long time!"
Wang Yun was holding a hand stove in his hand. After hearing what Lu Bu said, he pretended to be frightened and fell to the ground: "General Fengxian, this matter is related to the reputation of the little girl, so you must not joke."
Seeing that Wang Yun didn't believe what he said, Lu Bu, who was straightforward, told Wang Yun all the things he had recently had. After hearing this, Wang Yun looked lost and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said to himself: "I really didn't expect that the Grand Master would do such a thing that was worse than beasts."
Lu Bu, who was in a depressed mood, saw that he had met Diao Chan in Fengyi Pavilion the day before yesterday, and was caught by Dong Zhuo and was thrown by Dong Zhuo. After hearing this, Wang Yun pretended to be angry and said, "The Grand Master mistook my daughter and seized the general's wife. It is really a joke for the whole world. It's not Xiao Tai Master, Xiao Yun and the general! However, Yun's old and incompetent people are not worthy of the truth; unfortunately, the general is a hero who is also insulted!"
Wang Yun's words were like adding fuel to the fire to Lu Bu. He bit his back teeth and said angrily: "Bu vows to kill this old thief to avenge my shame!"
Wang Yun quickly covered Lu Bu's mouth with his hands, pretended to be panicked and said, "President, please don't say anything, I'm afraid I will affect you."
Lu Bu, who was blinded by anger, said angrily: "A real man is born in heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!"
Wang Yun general Lu Bu was caught in the trap and couldn't help but feel secretly happy and deliberately said: "With the general's talent, it is not something that Master Dong can limit."
Lu Bu became a little hesitant about whether he should kill Dong Zhuo: "I want to kill this old thief, but it is the relationship between father and son, which may cause future generations to discuss."
Wang Yun smiled and said, "The general's surname is Lu, and the Grand Tutor's surname is Dong. When he throws a halberd, how can he have a father-son relationship?"
Wang Yun's words untied Lu Bu's heart. He suddenly stood up and said loudly: "It's not Situ Yan, Bu almost misled himself!"
Seeing that Lu Bu had already had the idea of killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun struck while the hot, saying: "If the general supports the Han Dynasty, he is a loyal minister. He is famous in history and has been remembered for generations; if the general helps Dong Zhuo, he is a rebellious minister. He will be recorded in history and will be infamous for thousands of years."
