Chapter 485: Relying on the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes 4)
Yizhou, Prefecture Mufu.
In the study, Wang Can held a letter in his hand and browsed it carefully.
Below, Guo Jia and Xun You were sitting. The two were responsible for killing Dong Zhuo. After receiving the news, they came to Wang Can to discuss the matter and determine the next policy and strategy so that they could make countermeasures as soon as possible.
Chess masters are good at long-term planning and placing chess pieces as early as possible. Wang Can wants to gain an advantage among the princes, and the same is true. If he wants to take advantage, he must plan well early, and when the time comes, he will take decisive action in order to survive in troubled times.
Rise up without being destroyed by other princes and become a stepping stone for other princes.
After Wang Can read the news, there was no joy on his face, but a solemn look on his face.
The letter stated that the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu had been successfully separated, and Wang Yun also gained Lu Bu's trust and began to contact Lu Bu, preparing to let Lu Bu participate in killing Dong Zhuo. In the novel, Dong Zhuo had a rift with Lu Bu because of Diao Chan.
, finally Lu Bu rose up to resist and joined forces with Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo.
Nowadays, due to the planning of Guo Jia and Xun You, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu has also been alienated.
Therefore, if Wang Yun comes forward to win over Lu Bu again, it will also have an effect.
Wang Can should be very happy that Dong Zhuo is about to be killed, but there is no joy on his face. The reason is that once Dong Zhuo dies, the Xiliang army will inevitably lose its backbone and flee in all directions.
Historically, Li Jue and Guo Si followed Jia Xu's advice and led troops to counterattack Chang'an, completely overthrowing the Han Dynasty and causing chaos in the world. However, at this time, the generals of the Xiliang Army, Guo Si and Li Jue, were killed by Wang Can.
Only Niu Fu, Fan Chou and Li Meng were left. Although these people were pretty good, they were not as good as Guo Si and Li Jue and did not have the prestige of the two.
Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang army was in civil strife, and the Han Dynasty was bound to be attacked.
Wang Can wants to take this opportunity and seek benefits from it.
He put down the letter in his hand, looked at Xun You, and asked: "Gongda, the execution of Dong Zhuo is on the right track. If nothing happens, Dong Zhuo will definitely die. However, once Dong Zhuo dies, the Xiliang army will have no one to lead it.
It will definitely fall apart, and when Chang'an falls into chaos, how do you think we should deal with it?"
Xun You had already prepared a countermeasure, saying: "My lord, you should imitate Dong Zhuo and use the emperor to command the princes."
In one sentence, the future policy is stated.
Wang Can looked at the content written on the letter again, nodded, and said: "The general policy should be this, but although Dong Zhuo is dead, Lu Bu is still alive, and the mainstay of the court is still there, so what?"
After Xun You heard this, he fell silent immediately.
After hearing this, Guo Jia also fell into deep thought.
The general policy is in place, but the details still need to be considered, how to achieve the goal of coercing the emperor to control the princes. Because Dong Zhuo died, Lu Bu would definitely not sit idly by and think about integrating the Xiliang army, and Wang Yun
When the mainstay of the imperial court will also come forward to stabilize the situation, the chaos in Chang'an is likely to be settled by the two of them. There is still a long way to go to achieve the final goal.
"Boom! Boom!"
Outside the study, there was a slight knock on the door.
"Lord, I am Cheng Yu!"
After the knock on the door, Cheng Yu's old and deep voice came.
When Wang Can heard that Cheng Yu was coming, he had a look of joy on his face. Guo Jia and Xun You were good at planning troops and had great experience in marching and formation, but when it came to guessing people's hearts, it involved conspiracy and tricks, as well as dealing with old foxes in the court.
, only an old guy like Cheng Yu can do it. Moreover, Cheng Yu is ruthless and leaves no room for action, so he is more suitable to deal with Wang Yun and others.
Wang Can shouted: "Gong Zhongde, come in."
Cheng Yu opened the door, entered the study, bowed to Wang Can, then lifted up his robe and sat down.
Wang Can said: "Zhong De Gong, please take a look at the news from Chang'an and talk about it later." As he spoke, Wang Can handed the letter to Cheng Yu and asked Cheng Yu to find out what happened in Chang'an.
"good!"
After Cheng Yu saw it, he shouted "Okay."
He said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo is about to die, my lord can send his troops north to Chang'an and occupy the land of Guanzhong. Since the beginning of the pre-Qin Dynasty, Guanzhong has been the place to make a fortune. Emperor Gaozu first used Hanzhong as the cornerstone, and then sent his troops out of Hanzhong to occupy the lifeline of Guanzhong.
, so that he can conquer the world. If my lord wants to achieve great things, he must occupy Guanzhong."
Wang Can also nodded after hearing this.
"Guanzhong" is the Weihe Plain area where Chang'an is located. It is called Guanzhong because Chang'an has Tongguan in the east, Dashanguan in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north. It is located in the four passes.
Therefore, it is called Guanzhong. Its geographical location is among the four passes, which makes Chang'an as stable as Mount Tai and not easy to be attacked. Therefore, ancient emperors repeatedly established their capitals in Chang'an to dominate the world.
After hearing this, Xun You smiled and said: "Zhongde Gong, we also know that the land of Chang'an is very important, but for now, we must control the court after Dong Zhuo's death, follow Dong Zhuo's old path, and use the emperor to control the princes.
He has a career as a king."
Cheng Yu stroked his beard, nodded and said: "What Gongda said is true, the emperor must be controlled."
Wang Can continued: "After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun and Lu Bu will definitely take control of the government and control the government, and they will also stabilize the situation in Chang'an. However, if we want to profit from chaos, we cannot let Wang Yun and Lu Bu control the situation, nor can we let Wang Yun and Lu Bu control the situation.
We cannot achieve our goal by letting the emperor sit firmly on the throne."
Wang Can recalled what happened after Dong Zhuo's death in history, and kept thinking in his heart.
Historically, after Dong Zhuo's death, it was indeed Lü Bu and Wang Yun who took control of the government, while Li Jue and Guo Si fled to Xiliang. After being persuaded by Jia Xu, they led troops to counterattack Chang'an, and were able to defeat Lü Bu and kill Wang Yun.
Now that Li Jue and Guo Si have been killed, Li Meng and Fan Chou still don't know whether they can succeed.
Wang Can looked at Cheng Yu and said: "Zhongde Gong, if you want to control the government, you must get rid of the mainstays in the court. Only then can we control the court. Otherwise, even if we welcome back the emperor, it will be nothing. It is impossible."
To control the emperor in our hands. Therefore, we must have a perfect strategy."
Hearing this, Cheng Yu showed a cruel look on his stern cheeks and said: "In this case, let's wait until Dong Zhuo dies before creating chaos and letting the Xiliang army counterattack Chang'an. When Chang'an is in chaos, some officials can be cleaned up. Due to the chaos in Chang'an,
The whole place is in chaos, and who can guess which officials died and how?"
Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he said: "Gong Zhong De is right. After Dong Zhuo's death, Lu Bu will definitely integrate the Xiliang army. What we have to do is to incite the Xiliang army to rebel and let the Xiliang army counterattack Chang'an. When the time comes,
The lord led the troops into Chang'an to reorganize the situation. As Zhong Degong said, it is normal and not surprising that some people died during the war."
Wang Can looked at Xun You and saw Xun You also nodded.
Obviously, all three people agreed to eliminate some people by any means necessary.
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Okay, just follow Zhong Degong's words, wait for news from Chang'an, and then wait for the opportunity."
Wang Can made the final decision and set the policy for future development. However, the current situation often changes unexpectedly. Whether the situation will be as expected by Guo Jia and others depends on how the situation develops.
…
Chang'an, Lu Bu's residence.
Lu Bu fled back from the Taishi Mansion in embarrassment, feeling extremely regretful.
If he had known this, he should not have had an affair with the maid in public, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have discovered it. He felt extremely regretful, but had no regret medicine. Sitting in the hall, Lu Bu thought about how to get Dong Zhuo's forgiveness. Because at this time Lu Bu
He had only a few hundred soldiers under his command, and all of them were killed or injured. If he betrayed Dong Zhuo, he would definitely not be able to survive. He could only continue to rely on Dong Zhuo in order to live a smooth and comfortable life in troubled times.
Moreover, Lu Bu still wanted to inherit Dong Zhuo's legacy, so he couldn't leave.
Lu Bu sat crookedly in the hall, thinking carefully about how to impress Dong Zhuo and regain Dong Zhuo's trust. However, after thinking about it, Lu Bu felt that it would be difficult to regain Dong Zhuo's trust, and he was very disappointed. Just when Lu Bu was frustrated.
When Leng didn't know how to respond, the servant reported that Li Ru was here.
Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Did Li Ru come with a large army?"
The servant shook his head and replied: "We didn't come with any troops, only Li Ru came. Oh, by the way, there is a beautiful woman beside Li Ru."
Lu Bu felt happy and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly!"
Not long after, Li Ru strode into the living room, followed by a maid. After entering the hall, he bowed his hand to Lu Bu and said with a smile: "General Lu, I have brought you good news."
Lu Bu glanced at Li Ru and the woman standing next to Li Ru, and felt cold in his heart.
Because the woman in front of him was not the maid he had an affair with, but another woman.
Lu Bu thought in his mind, thinking that the woman he had an affair with was executed by Dong Zhuo, and the woman in front of him followed Li Ru to the house, Lu Bu could vaguely guess Dong Zhuo's thoughts. Just by Li Ru's sentence of sending good news, Lu Bu could know that Dong Zhuo had arrived
It is not intended to punish him, but to appease him.
Lu Bu raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what news Master Li has sent?"
Li Ru lifted up his robe and sat down, then said with a smile: "Not only did the Grand Master not blame General Lu, he actually rewarded you with a beautiful concubine. Isn't it good news?"
Lu Bu thought for a while and asked, "Master Li, I wonder how 'she' is doing?"
The word "she" obviously refers to the woman who had an affair with Lu Bu.
Li Ru is also a human being, and he understood the meaning immediately. Li Ru looked serious and said: "General Lu, you have been with the Grand Master for several years. Don't you know the Grand Master's temper? 'She' angered the Grand Master
, there is no chance of survival, the Grand Master is already magnanimous by letting the past go, General Lu should stop when it is appropriate, and never do anything to make the Grand Master angry again."
After Lu Bu heard this, he smiled and agreed.
However, he was extremely angry in his heart. He, Lu Bu, wanted a woman, but couldn't he find one? Dong Zhuo actually executed the woman he was in love with and then rewarded a woman he had never met. This approach not only failed to appease Lu Bu, but
Instead, Lu Bu was furious and hated Dong Zhuo even more.
However, Lu Bu's thoughts were not revealed.
In Lu Bu's heart, dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo grew rapidly and was unstoppable. Li Ru's suggestion was originally intended to appease Lu Bu, but it had the opposite effect.
