Chapter 168 The Change of Chang'an
At the beginning of winter, Yuan Shu's heart felt cold as he looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window.
"Fengxiao, how are things arranged in Chang'an?"
With Yuan Shu's secret intervention, Wang Yun's plan has been carried out in advance. Using his other adopted daughter as bait, Wang Yun has successfully aroused Lu Bu's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo, and the serial plan is coming to an end.
Guo Jia said solemnly: "Everything is ready. Once it fails, Jia will blame Liu Yan or Gongsun Zan for the matter and muddy the waters."
Yuan Shu's eyes narrowed, this kind of thing must be done carefully, taking into account all possible situations and the worst results, and must not leave any traces, and pick himself clean.
"Fengxiao, our retreat has been prepared. Now have you figured out how to deal with Wang Yue?"
When the name Wang Yue was mentioned, Yuan Shu also felt a flash of fear in his heart. This man was recognized as a swordsman by the Han Dynasty, and his military power was probably not much different from that of Dian Wei.
Guo Jia smiled confidently: "Wang Yue is indeed powerful, but he is just an ordinary man. Don't worry, my lord, Jia has his own way."
Yuan Shu nodded and remained silent. He had always been reassured about Guo Jia. Since he said there was no problem, Yuan Shu didn't bother to ask any more questions.
At the beginning of the third year of Chuping's reign, Wang Yun, with a grim look on his face, whispered to the strong man in front of him at Wang Yun's house: "Fengxian, have you seen clearly what Dong Zhuo is like?"
Lu Bu drank another glass of wine and said bitterly: "Bu is willing to get rid of this thief for the world!"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Wang Yun smiled. He knew that something big had happened. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Feng. As long as you get rid of Dong Zhuo, I will recommend you to the emperor as a former general and give you Mei'er as my concubine."
.”
A trace of disdain flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, but on the surface he said with surprise, "Thank you very much, Master Situ!"
Although Lu Bu is a bit straightforward, he is not stupid. In today's troubled times, what does a former general mean? It's just a title, which is far less important than strength.
Think about the history of Yuan Shao proclaiming himself a general after he unified Hebei. What happened? Cao Cao didn't even dare to fart.
This so-called former general position was not looked upon by Lu Bu at all. Although Lu Bu valued Meier very much, after he killed Dong Zhuo, Meier became his, so why did Wang Yun need to give it to her?
However, he really cannot suppress the Xiliang army under Dong Zhuo now, and he still needs the help of the Han Dynasty represented by Wang Yun, otherwise Lu Bu would have killed Dong Zhuo and established himself on his own.
Speaking of Lu Bu, his life was somewhat tragic. The most fundamental reason is that he was too strong and too arrogant.
As a military general, being too arrogant is not a good thing. Think of Ju Yi, think of Guan Yu, and then think of Wei Yan. These three people all died of their own arrogance in the end.
What's more, it's a general like Lu Bu who is the best in the world. Who can trust him and trust him?
What if this guy suddenly loses his mind and doesn't want to have sex with him anymore, and leads an army to rebel? Who can stop him?
That's why Ding Yuan used him as a civil servant and did not dare to let him lead troops. However, due to Lu Bu's bravery and the great reputation he created in Bingzhou, most of the Bingzhou troops chose to defect to him after killing Ding Yuan.
But the Xiliang soldiers were different. After Dong Zhuo recruited Lu Bu, he did the same thing as Ding Yuan, using Lu Bu as a bodyguard.
Lu Bu had been dissatisfied with having the world's best military general as his bodyguard for a long time.
The Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo's command has always been at odds with the Bingzhou Army under Lu Bu's command, and both sides were somewhat unhappy with each other. This was Li Ru's suggestion to Dong Zhuo.
Because Lu Bu is too dangerous, if you want to control him, you must either find someone who can convince him to suppress him, or you can only limit his military power.
The former is basically impossible. After Liu Bei's death, Wei Yan was suppressed by Zhuge Liang's terrifying ingenuity and reputation, so he did not rebel.
As for Guan Yu, it was because of Liu Bei's acting skills, his status as a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and the loyalty he upheld in his heart that he obeyed Liu Bei's orders.
Of course, Zhang Fei's existence plays a big role in this. With someone with similar strength to his own under the lord's command, most people really wouldn't have other ideas.
But Dong Zhuo couldn't find anyone who could suppress Lu Bu. Moreover, Lu Bu was born in the frontier, believed in strength, and didn't care about loyalty at all. Apart from national justice, Lu Bu's interests were everything.
Dong Zhuo could only use military power to sow discord between the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army, and prevent Lu Bu from reaching out to the Xiliang Army.
The reason why Lu Bu didn't take action when Dong Zhuo was so drunk was because of the existence of the Xiliang army under Li Que, Guo Si and others.
To be honest, the Xiliang soldiers were too strong for Lu Bu to defeat. Even if he killed Dong Zhuo, he would eventually be driven away in despair. So just killing Dong Zhuo was meaningless to him, but now he has
The emperor's help is different.
Although the big man exists in name only, he still retains his power and is still popular among the people. With this sign and the presence of Lu Bu, Li Que, Guo Si and others must also take stock of themselves.
Maybe Dong Zhuo was a British master in the past, ambitious and loyal, but now Dong Zhuo is no longer the Dong Zhuo he used to be. He is just a fat man who has lost his courage and is addicted to wine and sex.
Dong Zhuo's actions had already alienated all the Xiliang generals. It was only because Li Ru was there to keep them in check that this situation could be maintained.
Wang Yun also sneered in his heart, and he was equally aware of Lu Bu's little thoughts. When it came to conspiracy and scheming, Lu Bu was far from these old foxes.
Wang Yun knew that he and Lu Bu were just getting what they needed, so he had already thought about taking over the Xiliang army before Lu Bu once the matter was successful. By then, with the powerful Xiliang army, and the
Shang Huangfusong is still alive, so it is not impossible to regain the Han Dynasty again.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Yun said: "Okay, Mr. Feng. It's been too long since you've been here today. It's time to go back, so as not to arouse others' suspicion. Remember, I will be the one waiting for you when you go to court the day after tomorrow.
Time to take action."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Situ, we will definitely live up to our orders!"
Watching Lu Bu's leaving figure, Wang Yun's expression was inexplicable and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Bojie, come out!"
An elegant figure walked out of Wang Yun's back room.
"Master, are you really ready?"
Wang Yun nodded confidently and said: "Of course, as long as the traitor Dong dies, Li Que and Guo Si can decide with just a snap of their fingers. As long as Huangfu Song is pushed out, the Xiliang army will be ours! When the time comes, the Han Dynasty will be restored, and it will be passed down through the ages.
It’s not impossible!”
At the end of the story, Wang Yun looked enthusiastic, as if he had seen the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and a future where he, like Duke Zhou, would be famous for generations.
Cai Yong looked at his slightly crazy old friend and sighed softly.
