29. Who said that the storm's eyes are very calm, but it is clearly the turbulent waves
"Uncle Zhi, you have lived in Luoyang for so long, so what kind of person is the general?"
"Although we have lived in Luoyang for a long time, Wen Yuan and I spent most of our time either in the military camp or in the wine shop. Our impression of the general is just some rumors heard in the wine shop. That kind of thing is terrible.
My lord must also be aware of his trustworthiness. It would be rude to judge a person based on the rumors there."

"But isn't there a saying that it's just rumors? I'm afraid those rumors are also based on the facts."
"If there is no problem with your statement in other places, but in Luoyang... it is really... I don't know how to describe it. In one sentence, there are many people there who are responsible for releasing things that are completely contrary to the facts or
The message used to confuse you is to lead those idle students from Taixue and Hongdumen to come out and fight."
"Well, I always feel like this fact seems a bit broken."
Who said ancient people were not smart anymore? You watched the public opinion war play smoothly, and the target was also directed at those enthusiastic young students who were easily incited. It just seems that "rebellion by scholars will not happen in n years."
"Actually, only those who are new to Luoyang will be deceived. After staying for a long time, they will get used to it and don't take it to heart."
Seeing Zhang Yang's indifferent expression, Li Shushi secretly wiped the sweat from his head and said to himself, "It's okay, okay." But what he didn't know was that Zhang Yang was secretly glad that Li Shushi didn't notice him.
Embarrassment, after all, both he and Zhang Liao were successfully deceived when they first arrived in Luoyang. The fewer people who know about this dark history, the better.
As for the introduction to the topic discussed by the two people, our general He Jin is far less relaxed than the two of them. In other words, he now feels like he is a big man.
"Why, didn't those guys respond?"
"Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi refused on the grounds that the frontier was unstable. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, expressed the need to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou. Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, you also ordered not to
To let him know, Jia Cong, the governor of Jizhou, and Huang Wan, the pastor of Yuzhou, advised, "If you want to punish the eunuchs,
It is like a drum and a roaring furnace that burns the hair and ears. But when you get angry quickly and act decisively, heaven and man will obey. However, you rebel against the foreign ministers. When they are about to invade the capital, heroes gather together and each has the same intention. It is said that they are fighting against each other and teaching others how to do it.
If you don't do it, the work will not be successful, and chaos will occur instead. 'I hope, General, you will not worry about sending troops from the capital to solve this matter."
"Isn't there anyone who responds to my call?"
"This...the only ones who have confirmed the news now are Dong Zhuo, the pastor of Yangzhou, and Li Xue, the pastor of Bingzhou, who have been unwilling to take office. However, these two people seem to have some connections with the eunuch, especially Dong Zhuo. I heard that you seem to be interested in the general.
There are still some criticisms.”
"Humph, they are just a bunch of rotten scholars. They usually talk about their abilities as if they are great, but when the country really needs their services, they shrink back, for fear of taking on a bad reputation. From this point of view, Dong Zhongying and Li Shushi
The two warriors are actually much stronger than those corrupt scholars who have harmed the country. Inform them to lead troops to Beijing quickly, and I want to reward them for their righteous deeds."
Doesn't He Jin know the principle of "a gentleman plans his affairs secretly, but loses by revealing them"? Of course he knows. However, his temper is still a little hesitant, especially when the supporters of the two options before him are not convinced.
This problem of his was magnified even more when he had great influence.
Isn't he afraid that his life will be endangered if what he planned is revealed? Maybe he really isn't afraid now.
He is the general who has complete control over all the troops in Luoyang except the palace. Coupled with his status as a relative, it can be said that as long as he goes on stage and calls out, almost everyone will respond to him. Those eunuchs can have such power now
What?
Therefore, even if Dong Zhuo is dissatisfied or even resentful towards him, even if Li Shushi may have an affair with the eunuchs, as long as they come to Luoyang, they will know what the situation in Luoyang is like, and what is in their hearts
The little minds will also restrain themselves, and they will become chess pieces in their own hands.
Whether they use them to intimidate his sister to deal with those damn eunuchs, or simply incite them to storm the palace and kill the ten permanent servants, it will be a good result for He Jin. Anyway, they are just two warriors. If the scholars object
If the noise is too loud, there's no harm in discarding it. It's like those soldiers from Bingzhou. If you want them to exist, they can live a prosperous life in Luoyang. If you don't need them anymore, they will be in panic like bereaved dogs all day long.
Of course, those disobedient rotten scholars also need to be dealt with. Anyway, as long as the Shi Changshi is eliminated, no one will appear in the world who threatens their power. Those rotten scholars will just crawl on the ground if they find any excuse.
Like ants.
It's just that the world obviously doesn't revolve around He He, although his luck has not been bad so far.
"I said Wenyou, what are you doing? We have already escaped the eyes and ears of those guys, why did you deliberately expose us?"
When Dong Zhuo received He Jin's secret order from Niu Fu to him through special channels, Li Ru thought for a moment and immediately drafted a seal and handed it to the Empress Dowager He through the personnel stationed in Luoyang. He Jin could not go to court because of illness.
, so by the time he knew about it, it was already too late to stop him. All kinds of comments about Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing were rampant for a while.
"Although I have received the secret order from the general, my lord can also figure out the trap hidden in it. If we are not careful, we will become an abandoned son who can be abandoned at any time. Now I am sending someone to the table to make me
The action of waiting is justifiable, Lord
The major events planned by the public office will be less disturbed. Secondly, it will also make Luoyang more chaotic. If Shi Changshi fights to the death with Na He Jin, maybe the situation in Luoyang will become more favorable to our plan than it is now.
It’s still unknown.”
"Indeed, if we can't get out of the situation, just relying on us, whether it is the quantity, quality or reputation of the soldiers and horses, there is not much hope of victory, although the Northern Army soldiers will become worse if they stay in those fireworks places in the capital for a long time.
It’s lazy, but it’s still a big problem.”
After pondering for a while, Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed to Li Ru's proposal, but perhaps his background and experience determined his vision. Although he understood the troubles his fame caused him, his eyes were still focused on
The struggle for military power.
Li Ru did not give much advice on Dong Zhuo's view. In his view, Dong Zhuo had simply solidified into a reckless and cruel person in the eyes of the scholar group, so instead of spending time on useless efforts with little effect,
It's better to hold on to the army
Quan, think about the scholars who kept turning to the eunuchs when the eunuchs were in power. Although their reputation among the scholar groups was worse than Dong Zhuo's, it was precisely because of their cooperation that the eunuchs were able to form an attitude towards the eunuchs.
Total suppression of human groups.
Therefore, for Dong Zhuo, military power is the most important thing. With the barrel of a gun, naturally the downtrodden scholars will come and crowd around Dong Zhuo and become Dong Zhuo's chess pieces. Even if Dong Zhuo is willing to give up part of his interests,
Areas such as Liangzhou, Jiaozhou, Jingnan, and Jiangdong that were not originally valued by the scholar group are also likely to become Dong Zhuo's allies.
Yes, maybe Dong Zhuo doesn't have such big ambitions yet, but Li Ru, who has already seen some "future" with his eyes, is convinced that the lord he supports can definitely become a more eye-catching role than he imagines now. And he Li Ru
Ru, through Dong Zhuo's hands, was able to accomplish everything he wanted to accomplish, everything that was originally impossible to accomplish through normal channels.
Of course, some of his thoughts and assumptions cannot be told to Dong Zhuo now. Although he has absolute confidence in his plan, he also knows that he and even Dong Zhuo are not a core figure, so his plan will be subject to too many
There were too many expected or unforeseen variables that hindered him. If he had described a beautiful blueprint to Dong Zhuo in advance but could not realize it, would the ambitious Dong Zhuo do something foolish and sudden?
Li Ru didn't know, because he didn't dare to gamble on this aspect at all, even though the possibility might be very slim.
However, what Li Ru didn't know was...
"Wenyou, how could I not know the purpose of everything you have done for me and your wishes? When I first met you, you were just a cowardly scholar who liked 'The Master's Poems'. But when I
You were rescued from the hands of the Qiang people, and when I saw you again, the reluctance in your eyes to feel useless and the resentment towards those people who killed you even made me, who is used to seeing life and death,
You also have some heart palpitations. And since then, you haven't mentioned your favorite poems for a long time. Instead, things like "Yin Fu Jing" and "Three Tao and Six Strategies" have become things you can't put down.
I originally wanted to use my daughter to resolve the hostility in your heart, but now it seems that my efforts have been in vain. But it’s okay, only Li Wenyou like this can help me achieve great things."
Seeing Li Ru disappear at the entrance of the camp, Dong Zhuo's originally calm face showed a look of relief.
"I have heard that the chaos and rebelliousness in the world continues because Zhang Rang and others from the Yellow Gate are disrespectful to the heavens. I heard that it is better to remove the firewood to stop the boiling water. Although the ulcer is painful, it is worse than nourishing the poison. I dare to ring the bell. Drum has entered Luoyang, please give in and wait. The country is blessed! The world is blessed!"
Once Dong Zhuo's memorial appeared in Luoyang, the impact it had was as great as Li Ru expected.
Not to mention that the scholars were uneasy because this butcher, who was rumored to be ruthless and had no regard for human life, was about to come to the capital. Some high-status guys tried to get He Jin to withdraw his life and prevent Dong Zhuo from entering the capital. However, He Jin, who was already about to take action, felt that he had no choice but to take action.
Dong Zhuo's actions made some of the secret methods he arranged ineffective, but they also achieved the previously expected effect of forcing the palace. Judging from the reactions of some people, the effect was quite good, so he naturally refused.
Those lobbying.
Seeing that they could not stop it, many scholars who were afraid of Dong Zhuo immediately decided to put oil on their feet. Suddenly many ministers of the court submitted their resignations and prepared to go out to avoid the limelight. When the situation stabilized, relying on their family background and reputation, they would naturally
The officials could be reinstated and it might even be possible to make up for the promotions of some of those who died in the war.
However, the ones who will be most affected will obviously not be their group of small and slippery fish.
