"This time our army was able to successfully enter Yuzhang, Mr. Hua deserves the greatest credit! I would like to offer a toast to Mr. Hua!" Seeing Hua Xin just sitting there, seemingly out of tune with the people around him, Luo Yang immediately said:
He raised his wine glass and said to Hua Xin, "Mr. Hua is a famous person in the world. I have heard about it as early as when I was in Luoyang! I am very lucky to have Mr. Hua help me today!"
Regardless of how much real information Hua Xin has, Hua Xin is indeed very famous. Last year, he served as an official in Luoyang, reaching the rank of Shangshulang. That was a real position of real power! If not
Then something like Dong Zhuo happened, and Hua Xin rose up all the way. Even if he became the Third Duke in the future, it would not be impossible, right?
Moreover, there is no falsehood under the great reputation. Hua Xin can have such a great reputation and is not a child of aristocratic family, so he must have real abilities! Nowadays, Luo Yang still lacks advisers, especially experts in handling internal affairs. This Hua Xin is what Luo Yang wants.
The talents we need! It’s just that Luo Yang seems to remember that Hua Xin’s character is not very good. There is an allusion in history about “cutting off seats and severing relations”, which seems to refer to this Hua Xin. But now Luo Yang is short of people, so he doesn’t care.
What's wrong with Hua Xin's character? Let's use it first and then talk about it!
Luo Yang toasted in person, and Hua Xin certainly did not dare to neglect him. He even raised his wine glass, bowed to Luo Yang, and said respectfully: "What are you talking about, sir! For the sake of the diligent Han Dynasty, Hua Xin raised righteous soldiers to fight against Dong's thieves."
! This act of righteousness is known to everyone in the world! How can Hua Xin deserve your lord’s praise! This glass of wine should belong to your lord Hua Xinjing!”
"Hahahaha! Mr. Hua! Do it!" He looked up to the sky and laughed. Luo Yang didn't say anything more. He and Hua Xin drank the wine in the cup at the same time. Then Luo Yang laughed again and said: "Master Hua! This cup
Wine can be regarded as a practice for Mr. Hua. I hope Mr. Hua can pay more attention to Jingzhou and worry about the court and the country!"
After capturing Yuzhang County, Hua Xin, the Yuzhang Governor's position, must no longer be retained. In the Eastern Expedition after Luo Yang, Yuzhang County was an important escape route, and Hua Xin's character was not good if he was retained.
Luo Yang was not at ease with the second and fifth sons of the land. So he sent Hua Xin to Xiangyang early. There were Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and Jia Xu watching there, so Hua Xin could not cause any trouble.
What a trick. As for the position of Yuzhang Prefect, Luo Yang gave it to Deng Xi. This old boy is quite smart. Although his loyalty is not as good as that of Guo Jia and other old subordinates, Luo Yang is still very confident in him!
He was deprived of his position, but there was no sign of displeasure on Hua Xin's face. Instead, he smiled lightly and said to Luo Yang, "What did you say, sir? This is Hua Xin's duty! How dare Hua Xin not do his best?
"
"Hahahaha! Okay! Okay! Master Hua, just do your best!" Looking at Hua Xin's appearance, he couldn't find anything offensive, but Luo Yang always had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart when he looked at this guy. This guy is definitely
That kind of white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it, you should pay more attention when using him in the future!
After a few more polite words, Hua Xin seemed to have noticed that Luo Yang had a grudge in his heart. He slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "Sir! I wonder what we should do when we go to Jiangdong this time?"
Hua Xin suddenly mentioned such a thing, and Luo Yang couldn't help but frown. At this time, Guo Jia, who had been drinking with Gan Ning and others, suddenly turned his head and said to Hua Xin with a sly smile: "Listen
Mr. Hua asked this question, it seems that Mr. Hua already has a countermeasure in his mind! Why don’t you ask Mr. Hua to tell you his clever plan first?"
Seeing Guo Jia suddenly interrupting, Luo Yang was not unhappy, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. There was something in Hua Xin's words. Luo Yang might not be able to trick him, so don't accidentally get in his way! Now there is something
It would be great if Guo Jia came to deal with it. Even though Guo Jia looked drunk now, Luo Yang knew that Guo Jia, a little drunkard, was still far from being drunk at the moment!
Hua Xin had a calm expression on his face and said with a smile: "Master Guo, you are so polite! Hua Xin has long heard that there is a prodigy Guo Zhubo under Luo Prefect's account. Hua Xin has always admired Master Guo's intelligence!
How can Hua Xin show off his skills in front of Mr. Guo!"
Hua Xin obviously saw that Guo Jia was more difficult to mess with than Luo Yang, so he simply backed down. However, Guo Jia had no intention of letting Hua Xin go, so he simply walked to sit next to Hua Xin with a wine glass in hand.
Next, he said with a smile: "Master Hua, don't be humble! In this officialdom, Master Hua is my senior! I will use this wine to toast Master Hua, to ask for your advice, and to treat Master Hua a thousand times."
Please feel free to teach me!" As he said that, Guo Jia brought the wine glass directly in front of Hua Xin, while staring at Hua Xin with a pair of ghostly eyes.
Looking at Guo Jia's eyes, Hua Xin couldn't help but frown, and in an instant he relaxed. He took the wine glass from Guo Jia's hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Guo, you're welcome. This glass of wine, Hua Xin will drink."
That's it!" After saying that, Hua Xin picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He drank two glasses of wine in one go. Hua Xin was no match for Guo Jia, an alcoholic, and a blush suddenly appeared on his face.
"Hahahaha! Mr. Hua has a good drinker!" Guo Jia laughed, then glanced at Luo Yang from the corner of his eyes, and then turned to Hua Xin and said: "But since Mr. Hua drank the boy's wine, the boy will wait here.
Master Zhuo Hua’s advice!”
Hua Xin glanced at Guo Jia, but this time he didn't show off anymore. He raised his hands to Luo Yang and said, "Master Luo! If Hua Xin guessed correctly, within ten days, Jiangdong will definitely surrender to Master Luo.
!”
When Hua Xin said these words, the entire hall suddenly fell silent. Even the generals who had been having a drinking game listened and stared at Hua Xin. On the other hand, Hua Xin, facing the gazes of everyone,
There was no sign of panic at all. Instead, his face showed a confident look that had never appeared before!
Luo Yang's eyes flashed with a strange light. After a long time, he laughed and waved his hands to everyone present. Immediately, everyone seemed to have been lifted from the restraining spell and returned to the previous noisy scene.
Luo Yang continued to Hua Xin: "If this is really the case, and it can be done without wasting any effort, then that would be great! But there are advantages and disadvantages. I believe there won't be such a good thing that will benefit me, right?"
"Your Excellency is wise!" Hua Xin saluted Luo Yang again and said: "Everything in Jiangdong is under the control of the major families in Jiangdong! And the Jiangdong family is led by the Lu and Gu families of Wu County and the Wei family of Kuaiji.
, headed by the Yu family! It is shameful to say that although Hua Xin was the prefect of Yuzhang before this, there were not many big and small affairs in Yuzhang County that Hua Xin could get involved in! If it were not for the name of the imperial court, Hua Xin would
I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you to come to Yuzhang!" Hua Xin's words were not very clear, but the meaning was very clear. If Hua Xin hadn't been careful, he might have been killed by the Jiangdong family.
Got it!
This made Luo Yang a little surprised. Before the Eastern Expedition, Luo Yang had already heard about the arrogance of the Jiangdong family. But no matter what, Hua Xin was an imperial official after all! No matter how arrogant the Jiangdong family was, would they still dare to attack the imperial official?
Take action? Seemingly seeing through Luo Yang's doubts, Hua Xin smiled faintly and said: "Master Luo, don't believe it. In this land of Jiangdong, the Jiangdong family is so arrogant! The imperial court has sent many officials here over the years.
There are not many people who serve in Jiangdong's office and can survive! Most of the few that remain have surrendered to the Jiangdong family and have become open pawns of the Jiangdong family!"
Luo Yang couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seems that Jiangdong's problem is more serious than Luo Yang imagined! If Jiangdong is captured, Cheng Yu will have to be transferred there! If Cheng Yu is used to deal with these Jiangdong aristocratic families, then
It really hits the spot! If Cheng Yu can't do it, hum! Just send Jia Xu too! I want to see what tricks these Jiangdong families dare to do in front of poisonous men!
Although Hua Xin said something powerful, Luo Yang was not worried at all, and had even secretly made a plan in his heart! As for coexisting with these Jiangdong aristocratic families, Luo Yang had never thought of this plan! The reason why the Han Dynasty became what it is now
It is full of holes precisely because of the expansion of these local forces! If these scourges cannot be eliminated, even if Luoyang can establish a hegemony in the future, it will still be a hidden cancer! In history, although the Three Kingdoms eventually returned to the Jin Dynasty, during the two Jin Dynasties,
However, the time was extremely short, especially during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the royal family went south, it was controlled by major aristocratic families. In Luo Yang's view, in the final analysis, it was precisely because these aristocratic families were not properly eliminated!
Thinking of this, Luo Yang couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a murderous intention emerged from Luo Yang's body inadvertently. Suddenly, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped several degrees. Huang Zhong and other generals were already used to Luo Yang's murderous intention.
Guo Jia had been following Luo Yang for a long time, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He just suffered a lot from the two civil servants, Deng Xi and Liu Xiang, and his face turned pale. He could only drink because of his tightness.
Gritting my teeth and holding on!
As for Hua Xin, although he was also made pale by Luo Yang's murderous intent, he was a person who had seen the big world after all, and he could still hold on, at least not as unbearable as Deng Xi and Liu Xiang. It seemed that he was.
Realizing that something was wrong with Hua Xin and others, Luo Yang quickly put away his murderous aura and said apologetically: "I was too drunk and lost my temper for a moment. Please forgive me!"
Without Luo Yang's murderous intent, Hua Xin and others were immediately relieved. Deng Xi and Liu Xiang looked at Luo Yang as if they were looking at monsters, with fear on their faces. Hua Xin also looked surprised. He had also seen Luo Yang in Luoyang City that year.
He has passed many fierce generals, but few have as much murderous intent as Luo Yang. How does he look like a young man in his thirties? He looks like a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles!
