Chapter 2457: Foreign Troops Besiege the Divine Capital
However, the speeches of Cao Cao, Zheng Tai and others were refuted by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others. The reason was that Zhang Rang and others currently controlled too much military power and had no intention of giving up power.
They are tyrannical and unreasonable, acting only on personal preference and family interests. They have an essential conflict of interest with the great aristocratic families and must be eradicated.
In the hall of the General's Mansion, many officials and scholars were racking their brains to make plans.
At the same time, the opposition and the pro-war factions were constantly arguing, which was much more lively than the court.
Chief Clerk Chen Lin was frowning and trying to organize his words. He was also an oppositionist.
Yuan Shao stood up and walked to the center of the hall to express his opinion: "Everyone, if we don't invite foreign warriors into the capital, can we let them be stationed outside the city to intimidate Queen Mother He and make her compromise?"
This was a compromise suggestion made by Yuan Shao based on the opinions of others.
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Chen Lin's expression was firm. He immediately stood up and walked to the middle of the hall, to Yuan Shao's side, and said loudly to He Jin on the stairs: "General, I have a suggestion. The Book of Changes says, 'If you let the deer go, you can't catch it.' As the saying goes, 'Catch the sparrow with your eyes blindfolded.' Even small things cannot be deceived by success, let alone national affairs, how can they be obtained by deception. Now the general has the imperial power and the military power. You are as tall as a dragon and as slow as a tiger. Whether it is high or low, it all depends on your heart. This is like burning hair with a burning stove. What's the difficulty? It is in accordance with the Tao and against the classics. It is in harmony with heaven and man. Instead, you abandon your sharp weapons and seek external help. The soldiers gather together, and the strong ones are the heroes. This is what is called taking the weapons upside down and giving the handle to others. You will never achieve success, and you will only become a stepping stone for chaos and evil."
Chen Lin was a man with a long-term vision, and he saw the drawbacks of bringing in outside forces. If one was not careful, there would be no recovery.
At this time, Zheng Tai could not help but stand up and came to the center, advising: "Dong Zhuo is violent and cruel, and has endless ambitions. If we rely on him to handle important matters of government, we will indulge his brutality and ambition, which will definitely harm the court. With your prestige and virtue, you should insist on making your own decisions and punishing the guilty. It is really not appropriate to use Dong Zhuo as a helper. Moreover, things will change if they are delayed for too long. The lesson of Dou Wu is not far away today."
"Yes! There is no need to recruit troops from other places to kill the eunuchs. Besides, Dong Zhuo is fierce and has elite soldiers at his disposal, so he will definitely be out of control." Lu Zhi also stood up to support Zheng Tai.
"General, you cannot bring in outside warriors without permission! Neither Ding Yuan nor Dong Zhuo are allowed!" Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song stood up at the same time and advised in unison.
"What you said makes sense, but it is impossible to let him control the situation. Ding Yuan is brave and good at fighting, but he is also loyal. He is loyal to the Han Dynasty and the general. He can be trusted."
"As for Dong Zhuo, he is a disciple of the Grand Marshal and a subordinate of the General. He is controlled by the General. What does he have to fear?" Yuan Shao seemed to be debating with a group of scholars.
Seeing that Yuan Shao advocated bringing foreign troops into the capital, others looked at Yuan Shao with hatred. Dong Zhuo was a disciple of Yuan, so he might be a member of Yuan.
If they were brought to Beijing and united with the Yuan family, the Yuan family might become the biggest winner. If anything, the chaos of the Xin Dynasty might happen again.
Afterwards, everyone continued to advise, in short, they did not agree to bring foreign troops into the capital. Unfortunately, He Jin, who was sitting at a table on the staircase, seemed not to hear their advice, and still attached importance to the strategy of Yuan Shao and others.
Helplessly, Lu Zhi and others came up with a compromise. They agreed to let Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's army enter Sili, but not enter the capital. They could first let former general Dong Zhuo (Dong Zhuo's military rank had been promoted) station in Shanglin Garden in Guanzhong, and order the official Wang Kuang to mobilize the strong crossbowmen in his county to ambush outside the city, and summon the Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao to station in Chenggao, and send the Chief of the Guards Ding Yuan (just appointed) to station in Henei to threaten the capital.
These brave outsiders can do something appropriate and at the same time issue advice to force Empress Dowager He to kill the eunuchs.
After that, everything happened as planned.
After receiving He Jin's order, Dong Zhuo's army appeared in Shanglinyuan, Guanzhong within a day and took over this important place. The mighty army was not just a gesture of support for He Jin.
But some people seem to be unable to see it...
As for Ding Yuan, because Sili was extremely wealthy, he had gained a lot from his previous rebellion. Now because he had the order from the general, he was even more unscrupulous.
He simply called himself "Black Mountain Lord" and frantically plundered important cities such as Mengjin, Pingyin, Hejin, and others, and burned houses. The huge flames illuminated the city red, and wailing was everywhere.
Even the players, knowing what happened, were horrified by it.
However, what interests players most is a great battle in Mengjin City.
After looting Mengjin crazily, when the city was on fire, an unknown black-armored general challenged Lu Bu, the number one god of war of the Han Dynasty.
As expected, the black-armored general was defeated, but it is unknown whether he was killed by Lu Bu in the end.
……
Lin Mu, who was easily killing ten drought demon corpses, suddenly felt the pages of the Qiankun Zimu book in his arms vibrate.
He took it out and looked at it, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Cao Mengde sent me a message, asking me to lead the troops south?"
He did not expect that Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who was involved in the turbulent struggle in the Dragon Court, would invite him to lead his troops into the capital.
"Could it be that Cao Cao also anticipated that Dong Zhuo was not a good person and was afraid that Dong Zhuo would rebel, so he led me south to check and balance him?" Lin Mu suddenly thought of a guess in his mind.
And this speculation is very likely to be true.
"As expected of the hero Cao Cao... he has a good sense of the overall situation. And he is not afraid that I will support the eunuch group?" Lin Mu exclaimed in his heart.
In fact, according to Lin Mu's growth history, he should have had many contacts with Cao Cao, but Lin Mu rarely had contact with Cao Cao, only a few times. He had more contact with Gongsun Zan than him. If it were other players, they would have already become close friends with him.
"My lord, is this the information from the Divine Capital Luoyang?" Huang Zhong asked with concern. The situation in the Divine Capital Luoyang seemed to be getting more and more turbulent. Even though he was not in the Divine Capital Luoyang, he could feel a huge wave sweeping over it.
Especially when following Lin Mu, some of the emotions and actions he revealed made it feel like the sky was about to collapse.
"Hmm..." Lin Mu nodded.
In addition to conveying Cao Cao's invitation, the message also included news about recent events in the sacred capital Luoyang.
"He Jin led foreign troops into the passes of Sili and forced Empress Dowager He to kill the officials." Lin Mu said in summary.
"How many foreign troops were attracted?" Huang Zhong asked in a serious tone.
He had known He Jin had this intention before, otherwise Ding Yuan would not have entered Sili so early. Now he was worried about the strength of the foreign troops.
"Dong Zhuo, at least two million, not counting the alien army attached to him."
"Ding Yuan, who had just been appointed as the Praetorian Guard, led a million-strong army to burn, kill, and rob at various passes, committing many heinous crimes. He also had a large army of aliens following him."
Lin Mu sighed as he said this: "I never thought that the ambitious Dong Zhuo did not burn, kill, and plunder, but was quiet and peaceful, but you, Ding Yuan, were so crazy... Is this the madness before death?"
"Ding Yuan is a hypocritical person."
"He did make contributions to the Han Dynasty on the border, but he became blinded after entering the prosperous land. He acted recklessly relying on the orders of General He Jin, and he will be punished by God." Huang Zhong snorted coldly.
"Perhaps, some of the looted property was sent to the General's Mansion." Lin Mu said quietly.
"The governor of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, led an army of 500,000 to station in Chenggao, and there was also a corps of aliens following him." Lin Mu continued.
"He Jin's official Wang Kuang led 200,000 special forces crossbowmen to ambush outside the city. We cannot find out their exact location for the time being." When he said this, Lin Mu's eyes showed eagerness.
These 200,000 special troops, crossbowmen, appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time. They were the private army secretly cultivated by He Jin. Their rank and strength must be extraordinary. It would be great if this legion could be planned down.
However, the commander was Wang Kuang, who was also ambitious and a vassal. He was able to become very popular later, perhaps because of this unique army.
However, news about him was spread very little in the player circle, and even in his previous life, no important information was circulated.
"My lord, are you interested in these 200,000 powerful crossbowmen?" Huang Zhong could hear Lin Mu's eagerness.
"Yes." Lin Mu nodded.
"There is another important piece of information, that is, Gao Shun and Lu Bu had a fight." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"Oh? Gao Shun doesn't agree with their actions!" Huang Zhong said in surprise.
"Yes, after a duel, Gao Shun lost and didn't care about other people's behavior. Lu Bu seemed to be stimulated by Gao Shun. When he looted Pingyin and Hejin, he became even crazier and even burned down the city lord's mansion." Lin Mu said slowly.
"In that case, our colleague may return earlier." Huang Zhong said with a smile.
Hearing Huang Zhong's words, Lin Mu laughed even louder.
The Great Wilderness Territory hadn't recruited any strong generals for some time, especially those as special as Gao Shun. If Gao Shun could submit to the Great Wilderness Territory, it would greatly enhance the military strength of the Great Wilderness Territory.
It's not just about strengthening, it's also about weakening, weakening the opponent. It's even more exciting when this is strengthened and that is weakened!
"My lord, Dong Zhuo's army is too large in number, this..." Huang Zhong thought about it and paid attention to Dong Zhuo, who was mentioned first by Lin Mu.
"Not only are there a lot of them, but it's also early..."
"We have to urge them to speed up..." Lin Mu murmured.
I don't know if it's his butterfly effect or something else, but the plot this time is a little faster than in the previous life. Especially Dong Zhuo, he arrived at Guanzhong Shanglinyuan nearly a month earlier.
The fact that Cao Cao took the initiative to invite Lin Mu to lead the National Defense Army and the National Defense Army to march south shows how outrageous the situation in the capital Luoyang is.
Huang Zhong heard this and looked at his lord Lin Mu with a sigh.
In fact, he knew that if the Great Wilderness Territory exerted its strength, there would be no need for He Jin to bring in foreign troops. After all, Xu Ying controlled too many troops, and with the cooperation from inside and outside, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had no chance of winning.
But for the Great Wilderness Territory, this will do more harm than good. (End of this chapter)
