Chapter 95 Lobbying
"Brother is gone?" After returning home, Chen Mo took off his robe, handed it to Juan'er, wiped his face with a wet wipe and said.
"I have already left in the morning. Uncle Wang and Uncle Zheng also left together. According to my husband's instructions, I handed over all the guards in the mansion to my brother and asked them to escort him all the way." Yun Si bowed and said.
Chen Mo nodded. These guards were all given to him by Zang Hong. Now that he has his own troops in Luoyang, these people should be sent back to Zang Hong.
It's better to leave. The fewer people there are, the less worries there will be.
Chen Mo returned to the room and lay on the couch not wanting to move. Yun Si returned to the room, let Chen Mo rest on his lap, helped him massage the acupuncture points on his head, and said softly: "I have never seen my husband so irritable.
But something big happened?"
Chen Mo raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Siyiyan, looked at the ceiling with some melancholy and said: "Speaking of big things, it is related to the fate of the country, it is indeed not a small matter, but it has nothing to do with me, so naturally it is not a big thing."
"Yun Si doesn't understand. I just hope that my husband will come back safely every day." Yun Si gently massaged Chen Mo and said softly.
"I hope." Chen Mo closed his eyes. He didn't care who won or lost between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan. As long as Dong Zhuo didn't die, Ding Yuan would definitely lose, not on the battlefield, but outside the battlefield.
,Although Ding Yuan was only one step behind Dong Zhuo, this step was very crucial. One step was slow, and every step was slow.
Now, Chen Mo is thinking more about how to get the land to merge with the state? Chen Deng's words can be summed up as asking Dong Zhuo, but you can't let the scholars think that you have taken refuge with Dong Zhuo, because it is a matter of position. Once you let Dong Zhuo
People think that since you have taken refuge with Dong Zhuo, it will be difficult for you to recruit talented people from aristocratic families.
How to achieve this step? Chen Mo and Chen Deng agree on the same idea, that is, do it, but how to do it requires a lot of skills.
In the evening, Bao Xin hurried over, looking a little excited. He pulled Chen Mo and said, "It is a pity that General Chen did not continue to watch the battle today."
"Ding Yuan won?" Chen Mo stood up and looked at Bao Xin and asked.
"You know?" Bao Xin said unexpectedly.
"I didn't know, but if Dong Zhuo wins, General Bao won't be so happy, so it can only be Ding Yuan." Chen Mo took Bao Xin to the study, and the two of them knelt down: "It's just a victory for a while, it won't be a big win."
Are you so happy?"
"You missed a good show. There is a general named Lu Bu in the Jianyang public camp. Duan is extremely brave. Today he killed more than a dozen Xiliang generals in the battle. Dong Zhuo was even killed and ran away in embarrassment." Bao Xin said excitedly.
.
Although I knew that Lu Bu was powerful, I never thought that Lu Bu was so powerful. The impact of killing an enemy in a chaotic army is not just as simple as killing a general. If you kill a general, the surrounding sergeants will lose their command and all will be in chaos.
Killing more than ten generals in a row, at least a large part of the Xiliang army's command structure was gone, and the undefeated army had a ghost.
But one problem is that Ding Yuan won, but judging from his fate, Ding Yuan was definitely dead. Since he won the battle, Ding Yuan's death was not because of Dong Zhuo, or he was not directly killed by Dong Zhuo.
"You don't seem happy?" Bao Xin looked at Chen Mo and asked doubtfully.
"Now Ding Yuan's subordinates, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, are all Bingzhou soldiers, but he has been the governor of Bingzhou for only a year, and these Bingzhou soldiers have not returned home. Moreover, now Dong Zhuo has the supply of food and grass, and he has a righteous name!" Chen Mo clicked his tongue,
Shaked his head.
"What do you want to say?" Bao Xin frowned and looked at Chen Mo.
"Although we won today, Dong Zhuo is not dead. As long as we see this clearly, we can easily instigate rebellion and merge the state's soldiers!"
"You're worrying too much!" Bao Xin didn't believe it.
"We'll see." Chen Mo didn't explain much. Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo were very aware. Dong Zhuo's subordinates were all his confidants for many years, but the soldiers under Ding Yuan's tent may not share his heart and mind. Dong Zhuo held the emperor in his hands and was in charge of righteousness.
In fact, Ding Yuan would not be justified in pursuing Dong Zhuo's fight today according to the law. The most important thing is that the lifeblood of the army, food and grass, is in Dong Zhuo's hands. How can others fight?
…
On the other side, Dong Zhuo returned to the army in a state of embarrassment. He was almost caught up by Lu Bu just now. After the disaster, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of Lu Bu: "If I can get Lu Bu to use me, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"
"Father-in-law!" Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo's side, bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Our army has just arrived in Luoyang, and we don't have many troops. It would be unwise to fight Ding Yuan today!"
Dong Zhuo sighed and frowned: "Do you want to watch Na Ding Yuan insult me?"
"Of course not!" Li Ru shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, don't forget that he was once the governor of Bingzhou, and his prestige in the army is not weaker than that of Ding Yuan. Now that we have great righteousness and control the food and grass supply, we only need to
If you go to lobby with an eloquent eloquent, you can persuade the Bingzhou army to surrender, so why bother to fight in person? No matter you win or lose, it will be of no benefit!"
"Oh, I'm so angry at Ding Yuan. If it's like what Wen You said, can you help me persuade Lu Bu to surrender?" Dong Zhuo didn't care about Li Ru's tone. Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Li Ru.
"Not only Lu Bu, but the thousands of Bingzhou elites will all return to my father-in-law after tonight!" Li Ru said with a smile.
"Just one Lu Bu can equal a thousand troops." Dong Zhuo nodded and said with a smile, "Who can convince me of Lu Bu?"
"Hu Ben Zhonglang General Li Su was recruited by his father-in-law when he was the governor of Bingzhou. This man is not only brave, but also good at eloquence. Moreover, he is a fellow villager of Lu Bu and a good friend since childhood. If my father-in-law is willing to give away the red rabbit, why worry?
Lu Bu isn't coming?" Li Ru said with a smile.
"Red rabbit?" Dong Zhuo felt heartbroken when he heard this. He is also a military commander. For a military commander, a good horse is a second life. This red rabbit is a strange breed of horses. It didn't take long for him to get it. Today, he can
It was Chitu's credit that Lu Bu's men escaped with their lives. Now that he was asked to give Chitu away, he was somewhat reluctant to give it up.
"Father-in-law!" Li Ru said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be better to exchange a horse for a general and fight for my father-in-law? Now that my father-in-law holds the power in the world, how can I abandon a general for a horse?"
"That's it!" Dong Zhuo hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Just give it to him!"
"My father-in-law is wise, Ru will arrange it now!"
That night, although Lu Bu helped Ding Yuan win the battle, there was no reward after the war. He was still the chief clerk, which made Lu Bu somewhat angry.
"Brother Fengxian, there is no need to be so depressed. With your ability, you will be of great use one day!" Zhang Liao patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you." Lu Bu felt unhappy, nodded to Zhang Liao, and went straight back to his tent.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao was a little helpless, and Ding Yuan was a little afraid of Lu Bu. Everyone could naturally see this, but this time Lu Bu was not rewarded for his merits, which was somewhat chilling.
Lu Bu returned to the camp gloomily, only to see a man waiting outside his tent for a long time. He was a little surprised and stepped forward. The man seemed familiar, but he couldn't recognize him for a while.
"Who are you……"
"Fengxian, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still recognize Li Su?" The visitor turned around, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.
"Li Su!?" After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, Lu Bu stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Why are you here? Please come quickly!"
"I'm reporting on my duties in the city. I heard news about Fengxian today, so I came here to meet him." Li Su said with a smile as he entered the tent with Lu Bu.
"Oh?" Lu Bu became interested, looked at Li Su and said with a smile, "I wonder what brother Li's current position is?"
When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers and get close to each other, they will inevitably feel a bit of comparison.
"When Mr. Dong was serving as governor of Bingzhou, I joined his command and made some military exploits. Seeing that I was brave, Mr. Dong made me the captain of the cavalry. Now that he has entered Luoyang, he made me the commander of the tiger and the brave." Li Su laughed.
Said: "Let Fengxian laugh. I remember that when Fengxian was in Bingzhou, he was so brave that Xianbei did not dare to go south. Now that he has entered Luoyang, he will definitely be able to show off his talents."
"Brother Li is joking." Lu Bu said a little depressed: "Now that I'm here, I'm just holding the book of Jinwu's account."
"Master!?" Li Su said with a look of astonishment. Although the chief is a close confidant of the chief official, he is actually the swordsman and penman in charge of documents. A brave general like Lu Bu is a swordsman and penman, even though Li Su came here to persuade Lu Bu.
The defector was also shocked. He looked at Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, please don't joke with me. With your bravery, you are just an official with a knife and a pen?"
"How could I joke about this?" Lu Bu knelt down and said, "General, maybe you have other considerations."
"Consider it?" Li Su sneered and said: "I have Zhijinwu under his command with a middle base, an arsenal, a temple, a capital ship command, and a left and right Zhonghou and a Jingfu captain. I don't believe that all the generals under Ding Jianyang's account are more advanced than Fengxian."
You are so strong, why can I only give you a sword and a pen? This is obviously an insult to you."
"Don't say it again!" Lu Bu felt a little irritated after hearing this. Li Su was right. Under Ding Yuan's tent, if those generals were stronger than him, then Lu Bu had nothing to say, but none of them were stronger than him. However,
The official positions of these people are all above themselves, but I can only be an official with a knife and a pen?
"Feng Xian, why don't you abandon this swordsman and pen official and follow me to join Dong Gong!" Li Su grabbed Lu Bu's hand, looked into his eyes and said: "Dong Gong only hires people based on their abilities. For my brother, this
If I can do anything, I will be able to serve as a tiger and a brave general. If I serve my ancestors, I will be better than me in the future. Moreover, now that Dong Gong has gained the trust of the emperor and is in charge of the government, it is the time to appoint people.
How can I bear this humiliation to you?"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was a little moved, but he still hesitated: "We fought with Duke Dong today and injured many generals under Duke Dong. I may not be able to use them."
"Don't worry, Fengxian. Mr. Dong has been fighting in the south and north for many years. He loves the brave man most, so he won't be surprised." Seeing that Lu Bu was still hesitant, Li Su said: "It's better than this. I'll go help Fengxian to find out what Mr. Dong says tomorrow."
How about seeing you again?"
Lu Bu nodded when he heard this and said: "Ding Yuan regards me as a running dog. If Dong Gong doesn't abandon me, Bu is willing to go and join me."
Li Su was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded and agreed: "In that case, I will go to see Dong Gong. If Na Dingyuan fights again tomorrow, I can delay it for a while to avoid misunderstandings again, how about that?"
