Chapter 228 Please Cao Cao Out of the Mountain (2)
"Dong Mao is Dong Zhuo's parent-child. I heard that Huwa has a good relationship with Dong Mao. If he is a master, servant, brother, Dong Zhuo is a little afraid, it will be difficult for him to really regard each other as a hatred."
"Although the tiger's words were disliked by many bastards, the two gentlemen should also see that the tiger's wife has not really made a rebellious move so far."
Xi Zhicai said with a serious expression: "That tiger baby is indeed very human, holding 100,000 troops but is extremely forbearing. Even if Dong Zhuo is in a high position, even if there are cracks on both sides, the tiger baby is very likely to give in and tolerate. In this way..."
Cao Cao sighed and said, "What Brother Zhicai said is right, but the root is still in Dong Zhuo. At most, the tiger baby will be freed from the Huns, Xianbei and others. No one will loosen his ties. Even if he has 100,000 troops, it will be difficult for him to harm the world. Moreover, there is a Xianbei threat behind him from time to time."
"The Huns are south of the three counties of Hetao. Once they are defeated, it is difficult for them to escape. Only then can they be swallowed up by children in one fell swoop during the civil strife of the Huns. What about the Xianbei people? The Xianbei people have thousands of miles of grasslands behind them. Even if they are defeated, they are not truly defeated, and they cannot be defeated in a short period of time."
Xun Yu nodded silently and suddenly said something that made Cao Cao stunned.
"Meng De, do you think... General Zhu can suppress Dong Zhonglang?"
Cao Cao frowned, and finally shook his head.
"Duan Bing, Zhang Huan, and Huangfu Gui are both Sanming in Liangzhou, because the three of them have made countless contributions in the last ten years of Liangzhou war."
"Duan Yi's most meritorious achievements were. In more than 180 battles in more than ten years, none of them were defeated. He captured more than ten million cattle and sheep alone. The Sima under his name was Tian Yan, the general of Liao, and Xia Yu, the captain of Wuhuan. However, both of them were defeated in the sixth year of Xiping, so that one of the 30,000 cavalry did not exist."
"The main general of this battle was Tian Yan. It was because Tian Yan bewitched the attendant Wang Fu of the Central Chang's attendant to conquer the Xianbei of Danhanshan. In this battle, he lost all tens of thousands of cavalry in the three counties of Hetao. Although the three main generals in this battle were all imprisoned and considered dead, his main crime was Tian Yan. Even if he was not dead today, he would never succeed Zhang Taiwei to conquer the thieves in Liangzhou."
"Because of the last time Beigong Boyu, Han Sui and others rebelled, Xia Yu succeeded General Huangfu as the captain of the Qiang Huqiang, but was trapped by the thief in Youfufeng last year and then died in battle."
Cao Cao frowned and said, "Zhang Huan's name is Yin Duan and Dong Zhuo. When Zhang Huan pacified the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou, Yin Duan became the prefect of Kuaiji County due to his merits, and General Zhu Jun was the chief clerk. Therefore, he was recommended by Yin Duan to be filial and honest, and then he officially embarked on the official career."
Cao Cao's words made Chen Qun and Xi Zhong smiled bitterly. From then on, we know from the past that in terms of military qualifications, Dong Zhuo was of the same level as Zhu Ye's "lord" Yin Duan. When Zhu Ye first entered the officialdom, Dong Zhuo had already fought with Duan Feng and Zhang Huan for nearly ten years.
The military is where qualifications and magnanimity are emphasized. The imperial court has a higher level appointment and appointing a young man to be a general Shangguan for decades. There is no problem! On the surface, perhaps because of the official system, I would give you a face, but if I really want to suppress a veteran who has been for decades, it would be so easy without real materials?
Cao Cao drank a drink...
"Both Dong Zhuo and General Zhu Jun are both poor people, but... General Zhu Jun... is better at gambling."
"I'm a gambler!"
Cao Cao thought for a while, but finally he felt that "gamblers" were more suitable, which made everyone in the room a little shocked and puzzled.
"General Zhu Ye's family is poor. He heard that his mother made a business of selling weaving and weaving. He was disliked by General Zhu Ye's mother for borrowing millions of dollars to buy luxurious clothes. The prefect Yin Duan was punished by the court for defeating the demon Xu Zhao. The chief clerk Zhu Ye once bribed hundreds of gold to save the Lord Yin Duan..."
The Cao family in Luoyang is luxurious, but the Cao family and Xiahou family in Qiao County are all thrifty, so that after Cao Cao's death, many wives and concubines earn money and eat by themselves, so that Xiahou Yuan's niece was kidnapped by Zhang Fei while picking mulberry trees.
Cao Cao was extremely disdainful of Zhu Jun's behavior in his nature, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
"Just don't say anything, Wen Ruo and Zhicai also know what kind of people the recruited in the prefectures and counties are. They are neither virtuous, kind and famous people, but local tyrants."
"In order to become an official, he borrowed millions of dollars to buy a piece of clothing. Xu Churuo borrowed millions of dollars from Wenruo. Will Wenruo borrow it?"
"Don't you have to pay it back after borrowing a million dollars? And the millions of dollars from the Savior Yin Dunshi."
"Why should a poor family rely on selling to buy weavings to repay millions of money?"
Not only Xun Yu, but Xi Zhong smiled bitterly, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others all nodded silently.
Under the "three mutual laws", locals cannot be officials in the local area. If it is the top family of the Han Dynasty, it is like the Yang family and Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three dukes. No matter where they go to become officials, they will not be stumbling with local officials. If they fail to use a stumbling, they will be retaliated by these top families. However, families with low reputation will not be able to become one. They must rely on the support of the local prestigious family or the support of the local ruthless gangster leader.
Cao Cao's words were very straightforward. The Dong family in Lintao is also one of the most famous families in Longxi County. What about him? Zhu Jun? His mother also had to rely on weaving cloth to support her family. How could it be a local famous family? If it is not a famous family, she can still become the chief clerk of the prefect's office. That is only a possibility. Zhu Jun is the leader of the Ranger in his hometown.
Cao Cao shook his head. A soldier's annual salary was only 8,000 yuan, and his pension was only 3,000 yuan for death. If there were no special means, just Zhu Jun's poor family background, how could he take out millions of dollars?
"In order to enter the government, he borrowed millions of dollars to buy a luxurious outfit, and spent millions of dollars to bribe the prison officers in order to gain a reputation or gain Yin Duan's favor. In Cao's opinion, General Zhu Jun is a smart gambler, which is different from Wen Ruo and Zhicai who are known to the world by virtue of his talent."
Cao Cao knew that there were too many such gamblers in this world, and very few people really reached Zhu Jun's level. He knew that Zhu Jun must have the ability.
Cao Cao sighed, "General Zhu Jun has too much gambling in his temperament, but Dong Zhuo has been transferred to serve as a captain in the border areas, which is much more calm than General Zhu Jun and has a higher prestige in the army. If General Zhu Jun wants to suppress Dong Zhuo, it is basically impossible, unless... unless it is Shangshu Lu."
"Shangshu Lu" is Lu Zhi. After Cao Cao spoke, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course, they knew that Lu Zhi could suppress Dong Zhuo, but Lu Zhi's teacher and brothers were too famous. More importantly, it involved the issue of the Liu clan family. From the emperor to the three dukes, they were unwilling to use Lu Zhi.
"well……"
Cao Cao knew in his heart that Lu Zhi would not be able to go to Meiyang to preside over the overall situation of quelling the chaos, but no one could suppress Dong Zhuo at the moment. Even Huangfu Gui's nephew Huangfu Song could only be considered a peer with Zhang Huan's military Sima Dong Zhuo. In terms of military qualifications, let alone Huangfu Song, even if Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun were not comparable, Lu Zhi was not just a simple warrior, but could suppress Dong Zhuo from other aspects.
"There are only two ways at the moment. One is to quell the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou as soon as possible and send soldiers back to their hometowns; the other is... the only way to dismiss Dong Zhuo's post and return home can only prevent tens of thousands of troops from falling into the hands of Dong Zhuo. However, the Qiang Rebellion in the nine counties of Liangzhou cannot be suppressed in a short time. Dong Zhuo just made contributions to the court. When the morale of the army is unstable, how can he let Dong Zhuo leave his post and return home?
Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he said helplessly: "At this time, our army was defeated and the soldiers were uneasy. The soldiers instinctively believed Dong Zhuo. This is not scary. I am afraid that Dong Zhuo saw what the tiger kid did, and that Dong Zhuo had a strange intention and intentionally controlled the imperial army. That is really dangerous."
After Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, he clasped his fists and said, "Meng De has ambition and aspirations, so why should he stay in the countryside? At this time, the court is employed, so why not serve the court with loyal and loyal brave men?"
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly condensed, and it was not until this time that he truly realized what method they wanted to use.
"Fight for prestige in the army..."
Listening to Cao Cao's murmur, Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai again...
"Meng De also saw that in this battle, only Dong Zhuo escaped safely, and Dong Zhuo would gain prestige in the army. If it was not stopped, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the court would be taken away by others. If it was not stopped, the Han Dynasty would be in danger!"
Seeing Cao Cao frowning and silent, Xi Zhicai clasped his fists and said, "Anyone with knowledge can see the danger today. The general has recommended Meng De to General Zhu Jun as a general."
...
Cao Cao still frowned and said nothing. Xu Chu pulled Xiahou Yuan's sleeve repeatedly. Xiahou Yuan just didn't speak. Cao Ren was anxious and stood up.
"Lord, I think the two gentlemen are right. At the time of the Han Dynasty, how can we sit back and ignore it?"
Cao Ren took the initiative to speak, Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong and others all stood up and clasped their fists.
"We are willing to fight with the lord!"
He saw people one by one... Cao Cao slapped his legs and stood up.
"Well!"
"A real man should gallop on the battlefield!"
"Ha ha……"
Cao Cao laughed to the sky, and he didn't stay at the broken thatched house anymore. He held one in one hand and invited everyone to go back to his high-walled courtyard, so that the two of them could see the five hundred daring battles he trained...
It was August of the third year of Zhongping. After the defeat of the six armies led by Zhang Wen, in May, Dong Hu gave Dong Zhuo a letter, and at the same time, the Zhongchang Shi Guo Sheng also returned to Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo did not say those words in front of Zhang Wen, Huangfu Song and others. Guo Sheng was not satisfied with Queen He. If the emperor did not know Dong Hu's nonsense, the four men would not be too unlucky, including the Grand Marshal Zhang Wen, the Jinwu Yuan Pang, the Huns General Huangfu Song, and the general Zhou Shen, the general of the bandit.
More than 100,000 Han soldiers were defeated. At first, Emperor Liu Hong only thought that the bandits had a large number of soldiers, and that 100,000 beat him for 40,000, and 50,000. It would be normal to lose. The emperor could figure out the truth that he had few soldiers, as long as they did not dig up his small treasury, but when he learned Guo Sheng's words, when the three servants of Chang'an came Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction that day...
Furious!
It would be strange if the Ten Generals could let go of such a good opportunity. He put eye drops on the side. Zhang Wen, Yuan Pang, Huangfu Song, and Zhou Shen were all stuffed into a cage by the emperor. Zhao Zhong succeeded as the "Left Cavalry General" on Zhang Wen, and temporarily became the commander of the army to quell the rebellion.
Zhang Wen was dismissed from office, and Situ Cui Lie was transferred to the position of Grand Marshal; Yuan Pang was dismissed from office, and Zhen Ju succeeded to Jinwu. At the same time, Sikong Xuxiang spent tens of millions of dollars to become Situ, while Sikong was succeeded by Guanglu Xunding Gong...
