Li Ru looked at the various ministers of the imperial court calmly. At this moment, he seemed to have a feeling, as if he had grown countless times, floating among the clouds, and Wenmingyuan was like a small
On a small chessboard, the important officials of the court are like wooden chess pieces, and I can control them as I wish.
Li Ru saw Yuan Wei and Wang Yun exchanging glances with each other. Both of them were pretending to be nonchalant, smiling in their hearts without commenting.
Suddenly, there were waves of mountain calls outside the garden like a tidal wave. Everyone quickly turned their heads and looked outside, only to see that it was Dong Zhuo who had arrived with his troops.
Amidst the shouts of "general might" from the guards, Dong Zhuo, dressed in military uniform, wearing a red cloak and a sword at his waist, dismounted from his horse and strode towards him. Under the slanting reflection of the setting sun, he was extremely shining.
From the moment Dong Zhuo dismounted, some people, mainly military generals, and a small number of civilian officials stood up to salute and greet Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo laughed "haha" all the way, said a few words to this person, and then patted another person on the shoulder. For a while, the whole park became extremely lively.
When Yuan Wei just took the seat, he felt something was vaguely wrong. It was obvious that his plan was going smoothly and every step was taken correctly, but there was a feeling that there was some deviation somewhere.
When Dong Zhuo made a high-profile entrance, Yuan Wei was shocked when he saw the lively scene in front of him. He discovered that there was a big loophole in his own plan, and the color on his face suddenly turned pale.
Yuan Wei turned to look at Wang Yun with a gloomy face, and found that Wang Yun was also looking at him. The two people's faces had completely lost the calm look just now, only the panic of being at a loss was left -
When did this Xiliang martial artist win over so many generals?
Yuan Wei's heart sank. No wonder he and Wang Yun didn't feel any resistance when they implemented the plan to get Dong Zhuo. It turned out that his opponent didn't pay attention to the civil service at all. Today, he realized that he and Wang Yun had
The opponent went in completely two directions, what a miscalculation!
More than 170 years have passed since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty to Liu Bian, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty. There has been peace for a long time. During this period of more than 100 years, although there were conquests, most of them were within a small area.
Even with the recent Yellow Turban Rebellion, these high-ranking officials and nobles in Luoyang City, far away from the battlefield, still subconsciously thought that it was just scabies and not a serious problem. Now Zhang Jiao and others have been consecrated, including Yuan Wei and Wang Yun.
Many civil servants thought they could return to the peaceful days, and began to despise the generals and the army again.
So this time Yuan Wei and Wang Yun teamed up to deal with Dong Zhuo, following the old method of internal strife in the court, smearing each other's reputation, collecting dirty information on the other party, wooing the other party's subordinates, and when the time was right, they found a fuse and broke out in one fell swoop.
The opponent will be completely defeated and will never be able to stand up again.
This method has always been very effective and practical. Yuan Wei has seen people fall under this method more than once. Even the eunuchs who were responsible for the party's imprisonment used the same method to deal with Yuan Wei and others like him.
Unexpectedly, this time, Yuan Wei felt like he was punching hard, but the result was nothing. Yuan Wei originally thought that even if Dong Zhuo was a rough man, he should know how to cherish his reputation. Yuan Wei and the others were provoking and seducing.
When the Xiliang soldiers act recklessly, they will definitely be stopped by Dong Zhuo after knowing about it. So how can the low-level soldiers who have already tasted the sweetness of their actions stop for the sake of their so-called reputation? Especially since Dong Zhuo not only has Xiliang soldiers, but also
There are Qiang and Hu people who don't know what etiquette is, so they are more likely to be tempted.
In Yuan Wei's expectation, if this situation continues, Dong Zhuo orders the prohibition on one side, and the lower-level soldiers are tempted by him on the other. In the end, conflicts will definitely break out between Dong Zhuo and his lower-level soldiers, and the outbreak of this conflict
This means that Dong Zhuo sounded the final clarion call.
However, I never expected that Dong Zhuo seemed to be unaware of anything during this period, allowing his soldiers to plunder everywhere. Every day, he could see groups of Qiang people getting drunk, violating law and order, and even had several consecutive incidents.
He almost got hit by a drunk Qiang and Hu man when he went out.
At that time, Yuan Wei thought he had a plan. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was not Dong Zhuo who fell into the pit, but himself... Yuan Wei squinted at Wang Yun's face, which was also quite ugly. It seemed that it was not Dong Zhuo who fell into the pit, but himself...
Wang Yun also fell into the trap, and felt somewhat relieved.
Yuan Wei sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't expect this Xiliang warrior to be so cunning!
Unlike Yuan Wei's traditional top-down approach to internal strife in the imperial court, Li Ru's approach was to remove fuel from the bottom and start from the bottom up.
Li Ru grew up the Xiliang Army from the blood and fire war in Xiliang. It is not difficult for him to play the tricks of court politics, but in comparison, force is more important.
To be more reliable, when the gun barrel is placed on the neck, the pen barrel will not have much effect.
Therefore, when Li Ru discovered that Yuan Wei, Wang Yun and other Kanto nobles were making some small moves, he chose a completely different route from those who had been playing with pens for a long time. He rushed to grab the gun barrel first.
Taking advantage of Yuan Wei and Wang Yun's attention being attracted by the chaos on the street, Li Ru successfully absorbed the soldiers and horses left behind after the death of General He Jin. The surrender of He Jin's generals Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others meant that
The power of Dong Zhuo's army has officially become the largest military-based group in the capital city of Luoyang.
When Yuan Wei and Wang Yun were still planning how to attack Dong Zhuo with their pens and words, Li Ru had already held the gun in his hand. This Wenmingyuan banquet was a demonstration, and it could also be regarded as Li Ru's confrontation with Yuan Wei and Wang Yun.
A kind of retaliation for the card.
It's not that Yuan Wei, Wang Yun and others are not smart, but these people have really stayed in the peaceful time for too long, and their thinking is limited. They thought Dong Zhuo wanted to compete with them in the traditional circle of the imperial court, but he didn't expect it.
Dong Zhuo had jumped out of the circle, but they themselves were trapped.
Yuan Wei remained silent, thinking in his mind that it was not too late to make amends. At present, it seemed that he could only compromise for a while. How many soldiers and horses were there in Luoyang that could be fought for?
Maybe Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang can win over?
In addition, do you want Shu'er to go to Nanyang to form a military force? Now it seems that without one, one's own military power will always be limited by others!
Yuan Wei looked around and found that there was a military general sitting at the top who stood still and did not get close to Dong Zhuo. He was secretly happy in his heart, this is the person I can win over. But when he took a closer look, his heart became cold again——
It turned out to be Lu Zhi, the general of Bei Zhonglang who is now the minister.
If he had known at that time, he would not have followed the eunuchs to attack Lu Zhi! Yuan Wei regretted in his heart that at that time, for some profit, he and the eunuchs had sent Lu Zhi to jail. Now Lu Zhi has just resumed his position as minister, and the original Beizhonglang general is gone.
Now that he has no soldiers at all, no wonder Dong Zhuo didn't win over him. Alas, this is really...
