Chapter 21 But teach square inches without all evil
In other words, from a tactical point of view, the battle between Jia Xu and Lu Bu was nothing more than burning the camp, beheading the generals, defeating the enemy, and surrendering the troops. It could be further refined to achieve a complete victory.
From the direct result of the battle, it was just the defeat of the one closest to Luoyang among the nearly forty princes who attacked Dong. In other words, the troops of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, were defeated in one battle, and he rode to Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces.
He showed off his power on his face.
However, in terms of the subsequent impact, the shock this battle had on the world cannot be expressed directly in words.
Because this battle is the first real "formal battle" with a political stance since the establishment of the three alliances of Hebei, Guandong, and Xu Yang to fight against Dong since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and since the princes of the world have come together!
Gongsun Xun was the fastest to raise troops, and the scale of the war seemed to be the largest, but what was the difference between attacking a group of Huns from northern Shaanxi who were seeking a life in Shanxi, and suppressing bandits and bandits? As for the next attack on Jinyang, killing the prefect Yang Zhong, and Sun Jian before
Attacking the Jingzhou governor and Nanyang governor on behalf of Yuan Shu was actually more like an internal political purge taking advantage of the general trend, and could not be called a serious war.
Only this time, a nighttime raid between the allied forces fighting against Dong and Dong Zhuo's army undoubtedly heralded the coming of war in troubled times!
From today onwards, the feudal lords are divided and the warlords are fighting, officially opening!
Speaking of which, Jia Xu, who became famous all over the world because he planned this battle and was shocked by Cao Cao from Suanzao, actually deserved his reputation!
In a sense, it was indeed Jia Wenhe who made an unprecedented act of violence.
Of course, in the final analysis, Jia Wenhe just happened to meet him at the right time.
Anyone who truly understands knows that the world has come to this point step by step. First, there is a fundamental problem with the country, but it has fallen into the whirlpool of political games, and then slipped into the abyss step by step; secondly, it is really necessary to choose a person responsible for the current situation, Gongsun.
Xun's scolding in his article against Dong Zhuo was very clear that it was Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who was responsible for the evil; and in the end, even the word "chaos" was used by Dong Zhuo to tear down the Han Dynasty with pure force and violence.
The last fig leaf in the world...what does it have to do with Jia Wenhe?
As the captain of Xiaopingjin, Jia Xu was originally ordered to fight against Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang. Is this his job? As he said, he was at most a pioneer of the times.
Cao Cao always had small eyes and a big mouth, and was used to telling big words, so he was forced to accuse people of violence.
But then again, no matter what, this battle was so beautiful, so fierce, and so brilliant!
Jia Xu's speculation on the mentality of the two opponents, Lu Bu's bravery and invincibility, combined with the five thousand cavalry armed in Luoyang's arsenal, he was invincible overnight... plus the stage effect of Henan, Hanoi, the center of the world, it would shock the world.
It’s all difficult!
In this regard, Dong Zhuo, who has always been clear about rewards and punishments, naturally would not remain indifferent. When the Spring Festival came and the imperial court changed to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Jia Xu and Lu Bu were indeed recalled to Luoyang, and then they were greatly rewarded!
Among them, Lu Bu was named General Huwei and Marquis of Wen.
To be honest, this reward made Lu Bu particularly satisfied and excited. He thought that he was a Zhonglang general before, but this time he was an official general. He was even the second general among the officers in Dong Zhuo's camp, second only to Dong Zhuo's brother.
Dong Min's Zuo General is higher than Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu's Zhonglang General, so what else do you want?
As for Marquis Wen, that is even more incredible, even far beyond Lu Bu's imagination.
After all, before, Lu Bu was the Marquis of Duting, which was actually a very outstanding title, because at that time, only the two brothers Dong Zhuo and Dong Min were granted the title of Marquis themselves, and now Marquis Wen has directly skipped the previous Marquis of Ting.
How could he not like it when he rose to the level of rural marquis and was promoted to the top of marquis, that is, to the level of county marquis?
One more thing to say here is that the temperature of Wenhou is not the temperature of wine, but the temperature of Wen County in Hanoi. Using Wen County as a fiefdom shows Dong Zhuo's praise, because this time Lu Bu showed his prowess in the Yellow River
The inner side of the Sanjin River belongs to Wen County. Not only that, Wen County has always been the top county in Hanoi. The Sima, Yang, Chang, and Zhao families in Hanoi are all famous families... Gongsun Xun's capable people, from then on
From Chang Lin, the governor of Yuyang, to Wang Xiang, who relies on horses to wait, they all came from Wen County.
All in all, Lu Bu was truly grateful.
As for Jia Xu, he only changed from a captain to a captain, barely promoted by half a rank, and lost all his titles... This is not that Dong Zhuo's rewards and punishments are unfair, but that Jia Xu himself deliberately shied away and pushed the credit to Lu Bu.
the result of.
"So you don't want to accept the title?"
In the middle of the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Dong Zhuo sat alone on an oversized Taiwei chair, while many court officials and subordinates around him were just sitting on mats. In fact, Dong Zhuo seemed to be much taller than those around him.
"Xu's ambition is not here." Jia Xu bowed down with a firm attitude.
"I understand." Dong Zhuo was not angry, but seemed to understand. "You scholars, the things you think in your mind are different from us... For example, this is the case with Wen You. I asked him to be the servant.
But he only wants to continue to be this bullshit doctor, saying that being a doctor in life is enough?"
Li Ru, who was standing next to Dong Zhuo, had no choice but to smile reluctantly: "Father-in-law, a doctorate is not bullshit."
"It's up to you, as long as you don't delay your work." Dong Zhuo continued to smile, but pointed to another person in the seat. "There is also Cai Bojie. Bojie has always been sincere to me and has never been rude, but today
When he came to my place, we made an appointment to have a banquet in the afternoon. I asked him to arrive an hour early and write a letter for me in the morning, but he was actually late. He had just arrived. I asked him why, and he said that he heard someone playing the piano on the road and moved around.
Don’t move your legs…”
Cai Yong, who was sitting aside and writing something, couldn't help but raise his nose to the sky when he heard this, and smiled hard at Dong Zhuo.
"There is also Xun Ciming." Dong Zhuo continued to point to one person, but it was an old man with white hair who was the first on his left. Jia Xu also quickly bowed to this person and saluted. "Ciming is about the same age as me.
I have known an honest man since I was in Yingchuan. I asked him yesterday if becoming the Third Lord fulfilled his life's wish. But he told me that he was naturally grateful for the reward from me, and he became the Third Lord within a hundred days. But the most satisfying thing in his life was,
But it was at that time that he annotated the "Book of Changes"..."
Xun Shuang, Sikong of the DPRK, first twirled his beard and smiled at Jia Xu, then reluctantly turned back to Dong Zhuo and reiterated his opinion: "Prime Minister, for me, a rotten scholar, annotating the "Book of Changes" is indeed the most proud thing in my life.
.”
"I admire you very much too!" Dong Zhuo looked disgusted, but Li Ru was beaming and couldn't help but interject.
Xun Shuang, who had just been very kind to Jia Xu, just laughed dryly and said nothing more, and Li Ru also shut up... Everyone knew that Li Ru was ordered to poison the deposed emperor Liu Bian a few days ago.
Although this matter is nothing in today's situation, everyone is still a little uncomfortable with it.
"All in all." Dong Zhuo did not notice the slight disharmony between his son-in-law and his old friend, but made the final arrangements for Jia Xu. "I understand what Wen He means, so I won't give you a knighthood."
.When we arrive in Chang'an in two months, if the battle ahead goes smoothly, you can become a minister or a doctor... That's right!"
Jia Xu was slightly moved: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your understanding, but..."
"Just what?" Dong Zhuo didn't care.
"It's just that most of the princes in Shandong are useless now. With the power of the prime minister and the good fighting skills of our army, we can completely sweep them away and defeat them." Jia Xuli said carefully in the hall. "Why bother to move the capital?"
"A war is a war, and the capital is to be moved!" Dong Zhuo said with a slight frown. "The two are not related... and apart from anything else, the Baibo bandits in Hedong have been trying to make a move recently, and Gongsun Xun has already reached Taiyuan, and it is said that he even copied the child.
Guanzhong, my home, is my base, so I must take strict precautions! Especially Gongsun Xun, although he only has 20,000 soldiers, he must not be underestimated!"
Following Dong Zhuo's actions, everyone in the hall instinctively looked at the second person on Dong Zhuo's left hand, the Situ leader at that time, Wang Yun, Prince Wang.
But Wang Yun also made a gesture and said seriously: "Actually, Gongsun Xun looted my house, not necessarily because he was greedy for money. He was afraid that the road to Bingzhou would be difficult, and there were millions of bandits in the Taihang Mountains cutting off the connection between Youji and Bingzhou.
The people were short of logistics, so they looted wantonly..."
"Maybe! But no matter what, we must return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to take precautions, and the move of the capital cannot be postponed." Dong Zhuo shook his head repeatedly, and his face became more serious. "Since we have talked about this matter today, I will tell you more about Bingzhou.
, It’s not that I’m afraid of Gongsun Xun, but it’s that he is indeed a famous general in the world, and his perseverance and decision-making are beyond the world, so I have to guard against him.”
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn. Not to mention the officials and officers from Xiliang on Dong Zhuo's right, but also on the left from Xun Shuang to Wang Yun, all looked solemn. Even Cai Yong didn't know why.
Suddenly he stopped writing.
"If you do the math, he has risen from a weak position. For more than ten years, the world has been in turmoil. Is it possible that 50% or 60% of it was caused by his own efforts? And this dynasty has always had border troubles, nothing more than Xianbei and Wu in the north.
Huan, Xiongnu, Xiqiang, and Goguryeo are the five most excessive ones. Is it possible that this person also used his own power to cut off three of them? The more silent a person like this is, the more careful he must be on guard!" Dong Zhuo continued to hold his belt and sit down.
Zhong sighed with emotion. "I think back in Bingzhou, when I first arrived in Jinyang and took up my post as governor, one of his district commanders dared to come to see me alone, and even said that he would get rid of Zhang Qi, the governor of Yanmen, for me. Then
I knew he was a great hero! If he hadn't already promised to marry Zhao Bao's daughter, I would have almost killed my two good-for-nothing sons-in-law and given him both daughters instead of only giving him a knife.
Why? Why can't I preside over the government until today?"
Except for Li Ru, everyone listened with rapt attention.
When Dong Zhuo said this, he suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, my granddaughter Xiaobai is only thirteen years old. She is only three years older than Gongsun Xun's eldest son Gongsun Ding. She may not be able to get married. And if Gongsun Xun can cope with it."
, let him leave Jizhou and I leave the Central Plains, wouldn't the world be able to settle down?"
"Prime Minister." Wang Yun quickly reminded him in the audience. "The Baibo bandits, Zhang Yang, and the Xiongnu tribes have blocked the road, and the information is always blocked. How can we talk about marriage? Moreover, Gongsun Xun will definitely not accept it."
"That's right!" Dong Zhuo sighed slightly. "Gongsun Xun will definitely not respond! It's Yuan Shao, after this defeat..."
Dong Zhuo stopped suddenly, causing everyone in the hall to become suspicious.
"Yuan Shao has been defeated." Dong Zhuo suddenly laughed. "Maybe he had the idea of defeating the army... But on the first day of the year, he sent the ministers of the court to surrender to him on the pretext of changing the Yuan Dynasty!"
This time, no one said much.
After talking about these things miscellaneously, Dong Zhuo looked up again and saw Jia Xu still standing in the hall. He couldn't help but laugh and waved the other person to leave. Jia Wenhe also had no choice but to sit back on the left hand side reserved for him.
in the position.
However, after all, Dong Xiangguo had clear rewards and punishments. Jia Xu refused the title, so he issued another order, saying that throughout the first month, when officers from all over the country sent their seizures to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luozhong, no matter whether they were rich or beautiful, they would be divided into 20% and 10%.
With Jia Xu, Yicheng and Wang Yun, who lost their property in his hometown, offered compensation and comfort.
After explaining these things, Cai Yong happened to finish writing the documents, and Dong Zhuo immediately ordered his servants to lay out several tables, pass out dishes and wine, and hold a banquet... Firstly, it was to celebrate the Zhengdan New Year; secondly, it was also to celebrate Hanoi.
This is a great victory!
However, not long after the banquet had just begun, suddenly, military affairs were reported outside the hall, and then a soldier reported to the hall, saying that it was Li Jue, the general of the Zhonglang, who sent the military report. It was the former captains Xu Rong and Li Meng who were ordered to capture Yingchuan Prefect Li Min.
The thing has been successful.
Now, Li Meng and Xu Rong are in charge of Yangzhai in Yingchuan County, and according to Dong Xiangguo's direct military order, they have set up a cauldron and cooked and killed Li Min in public! And the reason why it can be so smooth is that Li Jue is also in Yangcheng.
The reason why he stopped Sun Jian's soldiers and horses trying to rescue him and beheaded thousands of them! As for all the gains, Li Jue had already sent people to Luozhong!
It is said that Li Min was appointed by Dong Zhuo, but after Yuan Shu arrived in Nanyang, he flirted with him. Dong Zhuo regarded him as a traitor, so he hated him deeply. In addition, he wanted to frighten Yuan Shu, so he issued a military order to cook and kill him... At this time, he heard that Li Min was appointed by Dong Zhuo.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the fact that thousands of heads were sent specially for him.
The people in the audience had the same reaction as Dong Zhuo. They didn't feel anything when thousands of people were beheaded on the battlefield. Only when the word "cook to kill" came out, they couldn't help but react, but they were very clear... The Xiliang officer on the right was a civil servant.
, most of them have been on the battlefield for a long time and are used to seeing bloody things. Although this thing is cruel, it only costs one life, so most of them don't take it seriously, and some even take the initiative to laugh with them. But many court officials on the left, except for a few elders,
People are used to seeing the tragic scenes of plague, famine, and war, and they can still remain calm, but most of the others suddenly turn pale and lose their composure!
Not to mention, as Dong Zhuo continued to laugh and get carried away, Liu Yan's eldest son, General Zuo Zhonglang Liu Fan, couldn't help but vomited it out in front of everyone!
Jia Xu, who was sitting across from him, could clearly see that Liu Fan was eating a stewed chicken with ginseng, so it was no wonder that he was so unable to control himself.
"Don't spoil everyone's mood, get out!"
Dong Zhuo originally saw someone vomiting in public and was almost tempted to kill him, but when he saw that it was Liu Fan, he understood more or less that this man could not kill indiscriminately, so he waved the man away.
Liu Fan was eager for this, so he reluctantly bowed and fled out of the hall in panic under the envious eyes of many people.
But after he left, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed again. He called everyone to drink and celebrate because of the victory over Yingchuan in the south... No one in the hall dared to refuse.
In this way, the banquet lasted for several hours. In the evening, with the bloody sun setting, Dong Xiangguo was satisfied and stopped.
The officers continued to drink and have fun, but court officials such as Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, etc. all left one after another. Of course, although Jia Xu was an authentic Xiliang native and the protagonist of this banquet, he did not like this kind of occasion either.
, also left immediately... However, I don't know if it was because of Jia Wenhe's presence. Although this group of people looked friendly and polite, they were all far apart, and then walked out of the prime minister's mansion together with each having their own concerns.
The only exception was Xun Shuang, who was personally supported by a taciturn middle-aged man in his thirties, who was his grandnephew Xun You and Xun Gongda, the minister of Huangmen.
Everyone was listening to his jokes.
However, as luck would have it, everyone endured the stiff atmosphere and walked all the way to the door. Just as they were about to say goodbye to each other while pinching their noses and leaving, they ran into the most helpless scene... More than a thousand Xiliang cavalry,
Among them, more than half were disheveled Qiang cavalry, obviously belonging to Li Jue, who were swaggering through the city!
And the horses of these cavalrymen more or less all have heads hanging on them... just like the 'captures' that Li Jue's people mentioned before!
Everyone had no choice but to stand under the door and wait for these people to pass by. However, when they came to Dong Zhuo's residence, these sergeants had to dismount from their horses and walk. Some even recognized Wang Yun and Jia Xu and saluted specially, which made people even more helpless.
and embarrassment.
But the more embarrassing thing was yet to come. The cavalry team showing off their "captures" was probably only halfway through. Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion took the initiative to chase behind them. However, several soldiers were sent to Wang Yun and Jia Xu respectively.
Dozens of pretty but frightened women, with blood stains on their clothes, said that they were the "trophies" sent by Li Jue just now. According to the order of the Prime Minister, they were seized in the first month and they were to be divided among the two.
Which one of Wang Yun and Jia Xu dared to refuse? So they had no choice but to let the soldiers and women stand in front of the door and continue to wait for the cavalry to pass.
However, not long after waiting, something happened again... Suddenly, as a Xiliang cavalry dismounted and saluted, a woman ran out from behind Jia Xu, and then, regardless of the situation, she rushed towards the horse behind the cavalry!
Several big shots saw clearly that she didn't want to seize the horse, but actually wanted to seize the head of the opponent's horse!
Jia Xu's whole body was cold and he opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could speak, the soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion caught up behind him, slashed with their swords, and beheaded the woman on the street, and threw her directly onto the horse, as if to kill the woman.
The cavalry took the opportunity to dispose of the corpse.
After this incident, the women in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion burst into tears, but did not dare to behave any more. However, the many pillars of the imperial court standing in front all looked pale, and no one said a word.
After finally waiting for the wave of cavalry to leave, Jia Xu, who was like a wooden sculpture, hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to take these women away from here and go home. However, just as he was about to leave, he bumped into a person on the side of the street, who was dressed in brocade.
, but stumbled as if drunk. After this collision, he almost fell to the ground.
Jia Wenhe hurriedly helped the man up, only to find that it was Liu Fan who had left early before.
Liu Fan's eyes were red and his face was pale. He reluctantly stood up. After seeing clearly that it was Jia Xu, he pushed him away as if he saw something disgusting, hid his face and hurried away.
Jia Xu felt more and more cold and unbearable all over his body... He also just thought that Liu Fan had lived in seclusion in Yangcheng Mountain with his father Liu Yan for eighteen years, and almost grew up in Yangcheng Mountain. The north of Yangcheng Mountain was Xingyang, and the south of Yangcheng Mountain was Xingyang. Li Jue 'gained' Yingchuan Yangcheng!
At this thought, Jia Wen and Ben Ben turned around and tried to grab the man, only to find that Xun Shuang's grandnephew Xun You had already supported Liu Fan. However, when Liu Fan saw clearly that it was Xun You, he was filled with disgust and pushed him away directly. Even Xun Shuang, who was behind Xun You, staggered when he hit him.
But the dignified San Gong, a man known for his cheerfulness, actually acted like a wooden sculpture, neither smiling nor angry when being contradicted like this.
After this collision, Wang Yun, who had obviously been trying to step forward to help the opponent, stopped and stood expressionless.
Liu Fan continued to stumble forward after chasing the cavalry, but behind him, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the ancestors and grandsons of the Xun family, Wang Yun of Taiyuan, and Jia Xu of Xiliang, all had their own thoughts amidst the sobs of dozens of women and dispersed silently. ...I don’t even dare to look back!
Only Cai Bojie suddenly shook like chaff.
——I am the dividing line that I dare not look back——
