Chapter 424 The Great Fire in Luoyang North
After Yaowa said the final "threatening" words, Dong Hu suddenly realized that perhaps only Kuwai who knew nothing was the most worry-free, and none of the rest was worry-free. At this moment, he suddenly envied Fatty Cao, who had a huge family, and he and Dong Zhuo and He Jin were both just the same situation. The foundation was too shallow and there were too few family members available.
Thinking of the tragic ending of Dong Zhuo with only one younger brother, Dong Min, and Niu Fu, and He Jin with only one younger brother, He Miaogong, Dong Hu scratched his head. Dong Zhuo's letter was full of words, but he didn't see a word. When he was about to sigh and marry a woman who was troublesome, he saw that his two sons were learning to scratch their heads...
"well……"
"If you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things!"
After Dong Hu rubbed his son's head, he finally had to get rid of the annoying thoughts in his mind. He carefully watched the letters sent by Dong Zhuo, and his brows frowned.
"The sky is about to change..."
Dong Hu sighed softly, not much content on the letter, and just briefly mentioned the matter of "retreat to advance", and at most it was to ask him for more support, not only the support of the troops, but also the support of money and grain.
As early as when he was recruiting two thousand mercenaries, he had decided to support Dong Zhuo. Army, money and food are nothing. He just needed to notify the eldest son Dong Mao. Of course, he was not concerned about the situation in Luoyang at all. According to the content of the letter sent by Dong Zhuo, and when he learned about Luoyang during this period, he had not forgotten to write a reply letter to Dong Zhuo when he was lying among a group of women.
During this period, he was really a bit harsh with a few women. Not only Da Ya and San Ya had morning sickness, but even Kuwai also reacted. When he was lying among the women, he couldn't do anything anymore. Originally, he was not going to write a letter before going to bed, but a group of women didn't know whether they were really worried that he was wronged or wanted to add a child to the family, so they even started to let him have sex with the "adult" Ajie. Before Yaowa's affairs were caused to them, they even started to get Ajie's affairs.
Ajie is a genuine political marriage. Dong Hu was very difficult to deal with the Baima Qiang on that day, not only because he had just carried out a massacre in the Hehuang Valley. Not to mention the foundation in the valley, how could the resentment of the Qiang people be eliminated in a short time? These are just the matters of Hehuang Qiang and the Plateau themselves. Huangfu Song recruited Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others to create an enemy for him? If Baima Qiang went to war with him, who would guarantee that the court would not support Baima Qiang? Who would guarantee that Han Sui would not take the opportunity to take the opportunity to get into the Hehuang Valley?
If he could stabilize the situation on that day, he could only convince Baima Qiang. When Baima Qiang Lao Wang proposed a marriage, even if Ajie was a fertile girl, he could only accept it!
Seven or eight years have passed, and Ajie has become a legally ill-fried woman in the Han Dynasty. But in Dong Hu's eyes, she is just a girl, so she would not be so willing to bow her head. Some spiritual psychological barriers are not so easy to overcome.
Don’t look at how big Dong Hu’s big and thick-bodied beard looks, in fact, Da Ya, Kuwa and San Ya are older than Dong Hu in physical age, and Da Ya, Kuwa and Kuwa are five or six years older than him. Even Mengdu’s sister Yaowa is about the same physical age as him.
When he came to this world, he was used to seeing the separation of life and death, how the status of a woman is, and he was also used to seeing the things that "brothers end up with brothers, fathers die, sons succeed". Even if he was asked to marry a woman with a baby, he would not feel so ashamed. In fact, in this era, it is respected that a woman who is willing to marry a baby, and only people with high moral character are willing to do such things.
During the war, there were too many displaced women and children. Dong Hu was willing to marry more of these women in the army and save as many children as possible. But if he was asked to support marrying a woman whose body was not yet open, he would be extremely resistant. Doing so would not only not increase the population, because even if the first child was successfully given birth, it would die prematurely because the child had poor physical condition, and it would basically be difficult to effectively increase the population.
Anyway, when several women mentioned Ajie, he became a little irritable. It would be better to use "Dong Zhuo" as an excuse to write a reply!
Two letters were written, Dong Zhuo and Dong Mao and his son wrote one letter each, and the next day he sent it. After that, he was not willing to deal with the matter in Luoyang. For him, this is the matter. Some things are not even stopped even if they want to stop them, so why bother that? It is better to be honest and stable with the people!
The letter entered Chang'an Sanfu along the Wei River Road, and then crossed Tongguan eastward. Then the hundred and ten messengers divided into two groups, heading to Jinyang and continued to go eastward to Henan County. When the messenger had not yet entered Henan County, the sky in the north of Luoyang City reflected half of the sky, and the capital was afraid...
Thousands of soldiers from Henan County rushed out of the city. Who is Dong Zhuo, who is the leader of the general, who is not a solemn look?
"Report!"
The spy stepped forward and bowed.
"Report to the general, there was no fire in Luoyang, and there was no fight. It was because someone set fire to the ferry along the Yellow River."
"Send more people to investigate, and I should know who is setting fire!"
"promise!"
After the spy clasped his fists, he rode his horse and ran away with hundreds of riders towards the direction of Mangshan. However, like Dong Zhuo, the generals silently looked at the red sky in the north...
"Wenhe."
Dong Zhuo frowned and spoke, and a person from behind came forward. It was not someone else, but Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, who Dong Hu had always wanted to tie up.
"Master."
Jia Xu stepped forward, Dong Zhuo frowned for a moment...
"Shuying sent a message saying that the Empress Dowager did not want He Jin to kill all the eunuchs in the inner court in one fell swoop. The fire ignited from the direction of Mangshan. It was thought that Ding Yuan was forced to force the Empress Dowager..."
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that it was a little tricky. In the news that Dong Min sent from Luoyang, in addition to him, Dong Zhuo approached Luoyang, there were also Ding Yuan, the prefect of He County, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dong County. If Empress Dowager He could not bear the pressure and agreed to dismiss all the Central Secretaries, or agreed to kill all the eunuchs in the outer court, the outer court would easily win the battle, and there would be no fight between the internal and external courts in Luoyang. Will Yuan Wei promise to pay his promise?
Jia Xu seemed to know what Dong Zhuo was thinking and said hesitantly: "Arson at each ferry crossing, it was Ding Yuan's plan to wake up the snake, because he was deliberately afraid of the queen mother. But... I would like to think twice at this time. Once you defect to the eunuch at this time, the lord may have to bear the infamy of the world!"
It would be fine if he didn't listen to this. After hearing this, Dong Zhuo felt a pain of shooting himself in the foot. If the internal and external courts fought fiercely, he would take the opportunity to lead 5,000 troops into Luoyang to quell the rebellion. As long as 5,000 cavalry entered Luoyang, Hu San from Hangu Pass, Dong Yue would immediately enter, and 20,000 elite troops entered Luoyang. Even if Yuan Wei wanted to play with him again, he would not think about it!
But looking at this attitude...
Jian Shuo, the captain of the Shangjun Academy, committed suicide. The eunuchs in the inner court lost all the military power of the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan, and there was no use of troops to fight with the civil and military officials of the outer court. Once the emperor wanted to kill all the eunuchs in the inner court, this would almost be a victory that would not cause any shock to Luoyang at all.
If the internal and external courts can cause fierce fighting, only the inner court has a soldier. The key is that the eunuchs in the inner court are no longer supported. If he does not transfer Hu San and Dong Yue away, he will let Hu San lead the Shancai to join the eunuchs in the inner court. Anyway, the boy Huwa doesn't care about offending anyone or not.
But what are you doing now?
Dong Zhuo's brows frowned into the boss's lump, and finally he sighed again.
"well……"
"It would be great if that guy was here..."
Even though he didn't know who the "humble boy" was before, and he had been with Dong Zhuo for a month, didn't Jia Xu know who he was talking about? And all the generals of Liangzhou were smiling bitterly.
"well……"
"Let's wait a little longer."
Dong Zhuo had no choice at this time, so he couldn't really rebel, right? He has been a veteran for decades, and He Jin and Yuan Wei's little plot can still see some clues.
Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Qiao Mao are now considered members of "Qing Junfang", but is it so fun to clear Junfang?
In the first year of Zhongping, Liangzhou rebelled, and Han Sui used the excuse to kill eunuchs on the side of Qing dynasty. Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, planned to rebel, not only wanted to kill eunuchs on the side of Qing dynasty, but also wanted to replace another emperor!
To put it nicely, it is to eliminate harm for the country, but to put it bluntly, it is to rebel! Even if the eunuchs are successfully killed, it becomes the chief minister of the eunuchs who have caused trouble to the Chaogang. In the end, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao cannot survive, and it is the result of killing the nine clans!
Before Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi, although there were eunuchs and some ministers working together to kill the general, the politics of the court was always the emperor, and the Later Qi took turns to take power. The emperor was unable to take power at a young age. The power was in the hands of the empress dowager and the general. The general had no power at the moment. However, as the emperor grew up, once the power was successfully regained, if General Qi knew about the matter, he would use a knife to wipe his neck, otherwise it would be a barbarian to destroy the nine clans.
Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, Qiao Mao cleared the emperor and helped General He Jin control the power of the world. Even if the world would not be in turmoil, the Han Dynasty would continue to continue. Wouldn't the emperor Liu Bian grow up? If Liu Bian died, would he let the He family go after the next emperor take power? Will he let the Dong family, Ding family, Qiao family, and generals and prefects who dare to use troops to threaten Luoyang? If they do not destroy all of them to serve as a warning, how can we ensure that others will not seek an excuse to clear the emperor in the future?
It’s the emperor who wants to kill three people, destroy three people, and the family of old and young. General He Jin will not destroy their three families? Today they can kill eunuchs, who can guarantee that they will not kill him, a powerful general who is in power tomorrow?
Qingjun is a omnipotent excuse. If you can use this excuse to kill eunuchs today, you can use this excuse to kill anyone tomorrow! Those who dare to use such excuses must also kill them to warn others!
Dong Zhuo has been pressed for thirty years, so how can he not see He Jin? Yuan Wei himself has no good intentions, but he also has his own plans, but who could have thought that how could Jian Shuo die so easily?
The strategy of retreating to advancing was successful. If Hu San and Dong Yue did not take a step back, Jian Shuo might still be alive. However, He Jin was more skilled and easily took back all the military powers of the Eighth Camp of Xiyuan.
