Zhu Jun came back to his senses and listened to Wang Yun sigh: "I saw the beacon fire this morning, so I hurried to the Grand Master's Mansion, but I couldn't persuade Grand Master Dong to go eastward."
Zhu Jun's heart sank, and he knew that this was talking about Li Ru providing Dong Zhuo with three sets of plans. In summary, they were to escape to the west, to resist in the middle, and to attack to the east.
"I am deeply concerned that Master Dong has chosen the strategy of advancing eastward. What does General Zhu think?"
"This is an unwise strategy."
Zhu Jun shook his head and spoke bluntly. He did not agree with this move when he first heard about it. As a famous general of the old Han Dynasty, he hid it in his heart and did not say it out loud. At this time, he commented nakedly: "But it is better than running away and spreading all over the countryside."
If the people hinder the movement of the army, it will inevitably be slowed down and turned into difficulties... How can we resist when the enemy is rushing to attack us and pursue us?"
Having said this, Zhu Jun paused, observed Wang Yun's expression, and said slowly: "Actually, I tend to stick to it. When the military morale is shaken, raising the army lightly is no different from seeking death in terms of military tactics... The Grand Master should be
Understand this, or it may be more of a bluff, and the purpose is just to recapture Gong County to meet the Hulao defeat, making it easier to hold on until the coalition forces run out of food and retreat, then return to Chang'an."
Wang Yun's eyes flashed with a strange look: "What if the news I got is that the Xiliang army wants to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop?"
"This is impossible, unless... you are saying that there are changes within the coalition forces?" Zhu Jun narrowed his eyes, suddenly realized, and stared at Wang Yun: "In the previous meeting, Mr. Situ recommended me, Zhu Jun, to defend the city. What do you want to do?
"
"I have a nephew, Wang Ling, who is a school captain. He is good at both civil and military affairs and is suitable for guarding a large arsenal." Wang Yun said, making a farewell gesture and watching Zhu Juan go out.
To actually do it is not a simple matter. Dong Zhuo once again poured his troops into the east to fight. Facing Liu Bei's huge military pressure, generals like Xu Huang and Gao Shun would definitely be brought along, but there would be personal generals and troops left to guard important treasuries in Luoyang.
.
There is no way for the civilian system in the army. Zhu Jun is a famous general of the Han Dynasty. The Xiliang army has integrated the old northern and southern armies, and after cleaning, there are many connections. It is not difficult to insert a few people.
"The initiative to mediate whether the current incident occurs or not is still in your own hands, and you can act with complete discretion... This is using chips."
After driving far, Wang Yun's thoughts came back from the unfamiliar military field and he looked back at the corner.
Under the dim light and shadow, a slim figure in a black cloak seemed to be the obedient girl she once was.
"How can a daughter of a rich man venture into danger? I don't know how chaotic the city is now. You are a woman..." Wang Yun couldn't help but blame him when he saw this.
Diao Chan raised her head and glanced at her adoptive father, her eyes were gentle, and she revealed a hint of stubbornness without saying a word.
Wang Yun had a headache. He knew that his daughter had not been able to trust him since that incident. This time, she came to monitor him quietly and confirmed that his various activities at critical moments fell into a certain category.
"You really think highly of me, an old man. It seems that Liu Beiguo has already planned something in the city - he should have seen that this boy has deep intentions..."
They were silent all the way until they stopped at the back door of the mansion. Wang Yun sighed and said, "Why don't you go home and take a look?
Diao Chan glanced at her hometown, which she had not seen for several years, and then at the gray-haired old man in front of her, feeling a little bit of anticipation.
After all, it was years of nurturing kindness, and childhood memories suddenly came to mind.
She hesitated for a moment, pinched the Five Elements Escape Jade Talisman bracelet in her hand, and shook her head: "There are many things, and my daughter doesn't have this time."
Wang Yun smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
"Father, take care of yourself." She bowed softly, put on her veil and hood, and disappeared as the car curtain swayed.
This made Wang Yun startled, and his impression collapsed over the years. He suddenly realized that this daughter was no longer the weak girl who had to rely on the family in the past, but the head of a party with powerful Taoism.
Let alone Taoism, the authority he holds may not be less than his own at this time.
"Uncle..." Seeing the carriage coming back, a young man in his twenties came up to him. At this time, Ruo Suo Suo Suo looked over and saw a familiar figure in the alley. If he looked carefully, he saw it was empty again.
Maybe it's because of my imagination, my cousin has long since returned to Xuchang, how could it be her...
Wang Ling thought this and felt a little empty in his heart. After calming down, he opened the curtain and saw Wang Yun was lost in thought. He said cautiously: "Uncle, we're home."
"Well" Wang Yun slowly opened his eyes, looking a little confused, and then walked inside. Wang Ling hurriedly followed along the zigzag corridor.
The palace has been repaired and run down several times, and it is now a bit outdated. No matter how it is maintained, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing is actually an important blow to the original important officials of the Han Dynasty.
Wang Yun looked at it without saying a word for a long time. When he saw no one around, he took a deep breath and said: "...The Xiliang army has reached the end of its madness. Since it is acting in a counter-intuitive manner, we cannot sink with it."
, then give it a push..."
"What uncle said is right." Wang Ling was happy to hear that, knowing that after his own urging, his uncle still took this step: "What about Xuande... Liu Shijun's side?"
Wang Yun turned around suddenly, his face green and dark: "Humph, don't mention him."
With that said, he was about to walk away. His goal was just to let Dong Zhuo die. Once Dong Zhuo died, after the emperor entered Chang'an, the court would be able to take care of it. He was not intending to surrender to Liu Bei.
With the old man's tough temper, he still gave face to his nephew - this nephew was accomplished in both civil and military arts. He had already taken advantage of the expansion of the army and was appointed as the captain, and was the next leader of the clan.
"I know you are all thinking about the future, but with the great fortune of the country, there is no way out. I don't care what you and your brothers from aristocratic families do in private, so you can't contact Liu Bei." After a few steps
, Wang Yun suddenly stopped talking and looked at Wang Ling.
Wang Ling shrank from the cold gaze and said hurriedly: "Yes"
Seeing the figure go away, Wang Ling was speechless, knowing that his uncle could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes, and he was still worried about Liu Bei's incident back then.
"But I didn't contact you. Isn't this because you only care about your family and country? Is it just out of anger?"
I secretly thought that my uncle's stubborn temper was getting worse as he got older. After he was promoted to Situ, he had a strong desire to control and he did not dare to disobey him.
One can imagine the anger at the "betrayal" of Liu Bei, whom he valued very much...especially the fact that his adopted daughter, who had been raised and taught for many years, was deceived and lost all news. This is undoubtedly the greatest denial of the old man's character and philosophy.
"I'm sorry." After a long time, Wang Ling looked a little pale and gave a bitter smile. He walked around the corridor and arrived at a side door of the garden. At this time, the clouds were dark and the sky was dark. There was no one there. He was about to go there when suddenly there was a voice.
He said: "Brother, can you come over and talk?"
This was a soft female voice. Although he hadn't heard it for a long time, it still made Wang Ling tremble and look surprised.
He couldn't help but follow the sound and entered a remote bamboo forest. He saw a girl admiring the bamboo. Even though she was standing with her back to her and wearing a cloak, he could tell at a glance that this was the girl he had dreamed about many times.
figure.
Over the past few years, he has gradually mastered his strength, and has become a climate among the new generation of disciples of high-ranking families. However, now in front of this peerless beauty, he has returned to the nervousness he first saw when he was a boy: "Cicada sister?"
Diao Chan turned around and glanced at this brother, politely took off her hood and veil, smiled and said, "It's me.
There was a beauty in her smile, and she looked much more mature than the young girl in her memory, which made Wang Ling's heart flutter, but this hair accessory clearly showed that she was a woman...
"Yes, she is married to Liu Bei, is she a concubine?" Wang Ling felt bitter in his heart. He and Liu Bei were good friends two years ago, and they exchanged letters from time to time, but the more he thought about the abduction of his sister, the more he cared about it.
, stabbing at the bottom of my heart like a thorn.
"Brother?"
Looking directly into Diao Chan's doubtful eyes, Wang Ling realized that he had lost his composure, so he restrained his gaze and regained his senses: "Why is my sister here? Could it be that Liu Bei started the chaos... I never saw him mention you, you bastard?"
"Brother, there is no need to make random suspicions. I am here for a limited time, Lord." Diao Chan was about to persuade. She remembered that her nominal brother had lost her temper just now. She was a smart girl with a bright mind. Based on the past interactions when she was a teenager, she vaguely guessed something and subconsciously changed her mind.
Title: "My husband sent me to contact my family and convince my father that some arrangements are about to be made by my brother..."
Diao Chan knows that this is her talent.
When talking about such serious matters, Wang Ling gradually became serious, and kept nodding in agreement, remembering all the response links and cooperation in the city. He felt that there was a difference from what his uncle had just said, and he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle knows all these things?"
Diao Chan laughed. A smart person doesn't need to say too much. She only solemnly asked: "I don't need to let my adoptive father know about my meeting with my brother in private. My husband once told Chan that from now on, this will be a matter for our generation, veteran minister."
After working hard all your life, it’s time to take a rest.”
Do you want me to betray my uncle?
Wang Ling winced, narrowed his eyes, and without thinking, crushed the talisman in his hand.
He stared at his sister's charming face for a while, his eyes changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said meaningfully: "I think this needs some time to think about. My sister is tired from coming so far, but I have to..."
"No, brother, please think about it carefully." Diao Chan looked calm, saluted, glanced around, and with a flash of light, her figure disappeared in the bamboo forest.
Only then could there be sounds of rapid footsteps. More than a dozen men in green jumped from the wall to Wang Ling's side. All of them had the powerful aura of warriors. There were even two magicians who came from Hanzhong Tianshi Dao. They all asked
: "Young Master, do you want to catch up?"
"No..." Wang Ling's expression seemed to be lost, and he was startled for a moment, understanding that her last sentence was both a warning and an exhortation - Liu Bei takes Luoyang, and within a few years he can sweep the world and become a real dragon, and he can revive the Han Dynasty and become the founding king of the country.
——The choice here determines the life and death of the Wang family.
Taking a step back, this sister will definitely be able to become a concubine in the future, but she just cut off most of her love.
He immediately regretted it. He looked at the talisman that he subconsciously crushed, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: "It turns out that I am also suspicious of her. This is really a weak sentiment."
