Chapter 224: Prosecuting Dong's Order (1/3)
"The dragon is gone, and the world is in chaos unstoppable." Yingchuan, Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui seemed to feel something and suddenly sighed.
Thinking of his friends Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan who invited him to visit Jingzhou some time ago, Sima Hui pondered for a moment and packed up his things and headed south.
"Teacher, are we going to Jingzhou?" Xu Shu said.
"Well, Jizhou is too close to Sili, and it is the place of four battles. Let's go to Jingzhou first." Sima Hui said.
Xu Shu patted the scabbard on his waist and said, "Students can protect the teacher's safety."
"Hahaha, the master's safety depends on you." Sima Hui smiled and said, "Why didn't Fang Mu send someone to invite you before, why didn't you go?"
"Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai and the others went there, and there was not one more me." Xu Shu said.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Shu said: "If you have filial piety, your ambition will come first, and students will go later. Even if you achieve success, it has nothing to do with the students."
Sima Hui did not say whether it was right or wrong, these were Xu Shu’s choice.
Sima Hui is tolerant to students and he supports students to have his own ideas.
......
Liu Hong died suddenly, and Dong Zhuo took charge of the government affairs.
The young emperor Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.
Those who are in a favorable life, and those who are in a deficit will die.
Within one month, the court heard that countless literati were killed for writing letters to criticize Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was appointed by the Grand Tutor himself, nominally appointed by Liu Bing, but there were still many literati in the court who were quite disdainful of him.
Luoyang City was covered in blood, and the whole of Luoyang was trapped in the shadow of Xiliang.
The 200,000 Xiliang army and the 200,000 Bingzhou army brought by Dong Zhuo successively occupied the city checkpoints near Sili.
The Hulao Pass in the world fell into the control of Dong Zhuo.
All the inlet and exit passages entering Luoyang were stationed by Dong Zhuo's army.
"Wenyou, do you think it is feasible for me to be emperor now?" Dong Zhuo and Li Ru ran in the palace side by side. The eunuchs in the palace were almost killed by Dong Zhuo, leaving only maids and concubines. Outside the palace where Liu Bian lived, Dong Zhuo's army was guarding him.
"Master Taishi thinks that he can now compete with the states of the Central and Han dynasties with his own strength." After committing suicide, Li Ru's aura became more and more gloomy and cold.
"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo laughed.
Li Ru frowned. Lord Dong is a little inflated now. Although they are very strong and can even be said to be the largest warlord in the world, they still have no strength to compete with the states in the world.
You should know that during the peak period of China and Han Dynasty, there were a total of two million soldiers stationed in various states and border checkpoints!
The total army they control now is only 500,000.
"Don't forget the Grand Tutor, there are Fang Mu in Youzhou, Sun Jian in Yangzhou, and Liu Yan in Yizhou." Li Ru said.
"Fang Mu's son Huangkou, Sun Jian is brave but not scheming, and Liu Yan is cowardly and incompetent, how can they compare with me?" Dong Zhuo didn't care.
"But if they unite, the rest of the states in the world will also unite to deal with you."
Dong Zhuo frowned and waved his hand, "I have Hulao locked up, and my son Fengxian, and you, Huaxiong, Guo Si, Li Jue and other powerful generals. They will never be able to break through. Even if they join forces, they will definitely have their own plans. Just use a small trick to make them kill each other."
"But Taishi, you shouldn't let Cao Cao go that day. Cao Cao has a ravine in his chest, so he is a great enemy."
"Cao Cao is quite capable, and I am also trying to win his heart." Dong Zhuo said, "And Cao Cao has no power or military power now, so he cannot become a climate."
Li Ru was silent, but in fact his dream had been completed.
He was a scholar at the border. In the early years, the Hu people invaded and massacred his entire family.
He hated the Hu people and even more hated the inaction of the court.
At that time, people could be sent to the court's borders, but because of the court's affinity policy and gentle policy, they are bullshit!
The lives of the people on the border are not worth much in their eyes!
Since then, Li Ru has only two purposes in his mind, one is to kill the Hu people and the other is to destroy the court.
With his assistance in the border years, Dong Zhuo has been fighting for many years and massacred countless Hu people. Now another goal has been achieved.
Li Ru is now following Dong Zhuo just to repay the kindness of his acquaintance.
"Tai Shi, it is indeed not difficult to deal with them. As you said, these state-patriarchs and warlords in various places have their own plans. They only need two peaches to kill three soldiers. According to my guess, Cao Cao should have escaped from Luoyang for a few days." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo stopped and turned to stare at Li Ru, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I have reminded the Grand Master before, don't let Cao Cao go. I was not by your side in the palace that day. When I came back, you had already let Cao Cao go." Li Ru said.
"Because I wasn't sure Cao Cao would definitely escape at that time, but in recent days I sent someone to investigate Cao Cao's whereabouts became a mystery. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also disappeared with him. The three of them had not seen each other for several days, and he had seen Liu Hong, and the royal family had their own secret passages, so I guess Cao Cao should have quietly left Luoyang through the secret passage. After leaving Luoyang, it was not difficult for him to escape from Sili with the power of the Yuan family." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo was upset, not because Cao Cao escaped, but because of this matter, he escaped from his control.
"If I had known that day, I would have cut him with one knife. Forget it, just run away." Dong Zhuo kept Cao Cao's life and cherished his talents. He had ambitions and naturally wanted to subdue more talents.
On the other hand, Cao Cao has a certain reputation and can help him control Luoyang.
"But according to my guess, Cao Cao may have Liu Hong's handwritten instructions. After they fled Luoyang, they may use the handwritten instructions to summon people from all over the world to attack the Grand Tutor." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo stopped and suddenly sneered, "Then come on, I, Dong Zhongying, see how many people are enough for me to kill!"
"So I hope you, Taishi, can grant Fang Mu the governor of Youzhou."
"But the governor of Youzhou is not Liu Yu." Dong Zhuo frowned.
Suddenly his eyebrows dissipated and he sneered: "It's good, let Fang Mu and Liu Yu bite the dog, so he won't have time to respond to the call."
"The Grand Tutor is wise." Li Ru said.
"I also hope that Grand Tutor, you can make Liu Biao the governor of Jingzhou." Li Ru said.
"Liu Biao is a relative of the Han Dynasty." Dong Zhuo said.
"It is precisely because he is a relative of the Han Dynasty that he wants to establish him. On the one hand, it is to show his attitude, which can alleviate the views of the people of the world towards you, and also to make Liu lower his guard against you, believing that the lord just wants to do Huo Guang's business, rather than having a transcendent heart, and can also buy time for the lord. On the other hand, Liu Biao is incompetent, but he is just a dog guarding the grave, so that he can occupy Jingzhou and have no threat to the lord."
Dong Zhuo agreed to Li Ru's approach.
......
On the other hand, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu escaped from Sili and separated. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu went to other states to recruit charity soldiers in preparation.
Cao Cao went to Chenliu.
After returning to his hometown, Cao Cao began to recruit soldiers in Chenliu, and at the same time he issued an edict to the world, and told Dong Zhuo about the chaos and chaos to the world.
"Dong is the one who is in trouble. If I die, everyone in the world will be punished."
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the world was in full bloom.
