Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258 Li Ru's Persuasion

The news that Huangfusong's Guanzhong Army withdrew its troops and went south caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Sikong House.

"After all, I have failed Huangfu Yizhen!" Yuan Feng cried secretly, sighed and mourned: "Yizhen is loyal and courageous, but I chose to compromise, I am ashamed of this righteous man in Guanzhong!"

"Lord Sikong has done his best!"

Situ Wangyun sat cross-legged beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Luoyang is already overwhelmed. If the war breaks out again, our Han Dynasty will be completely in chaos. There is nothing we can do to sacrifice some for the sake of peace!"

"I'm afraid that Yizhen's withdrawal will make Mu Yuanzhong unscrupulous!"

Lu Zhi said worriedly.

"Humph!"

Wang Yun snorted coldly: "If he, Mu Yuanzhong, is loyal to the Han family, we can tolerate him for a while, but if he dares to mess with our Han family, I will not let him have a good time!"

"Mu Yuanzhong is so powerful, it cannot be confronted head-on, and a long-term plan is needed!"

Lu Zhi said: "The most important thing is that we have military power. If there is no military power in the capital, we must be kings. Once the power of kings starts, there will never be peace in this country!"

"You all know about the Bingzhou Army, what do you think?"

After all, Yuan Feng was a veteran of several dynasties, and his mood quickly returned to normal, returning to the topic, and his eyes became a little wiser.

"Somewhat unexpected!"

Wang Yundao: "This Xiliang army has confiscated most of the Bingzhou soldiers, which is unexpected!"

"When two tigers fight each other, there is room for them!"

Lu Zhi said.

"Why don't you send someone to contact Dong Zhuo? We support Dong Zhuo!" Yuan Feng thought for a while and said.

"No!"

But Wang Yun shook his head: "Pressing too hard is not necessarily a good thing. The Xiliang army can't enter the city, and the tens of thousands of elites under Mushan's command are all in the city. If a gentleman doesn't stand under the mast, you can't force it, you need to advance slowly!"

"It makes sense!"

"Now there is a chance!" Lu Zhi said suddenly.

"what chance?"

"My lord who holds gold!"

"This location?"

Yuan Feng and Wang Yun looked at each other.

This is a position that can support soldiers. Although there are not many cavalry holding Jinwu, it can be regarded as a force in Luoyang, and it is better than nothing.

"I'm afraid that Mu Shan won't let go!"

"If someone comes forward, we can give it a try!"

"who?"

"Empress Dowager!" Lu Zhi said.

……

……

"They withdrew?"

The Kaiming Hall in Nangong Palace City is located in the southeast corner. It is a side hall. It has been requisitioned by Mu Shan as the Grand Tutor's office hall. His military orders are all transmitted from here. When the news came back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "This Huangfu Song is really unparalleled to the court!"

If he was replaced, he would never choose to withdraw his troops.

This is a matter of position.

Huangfusong was obsessed with being loyal to the imperial court and the monarch, so he had to obey the emperor's orders and would never choose to disobey.

But Mushan is different, he doesn't respect the imperial power so much.

"My lord, as soon as Huangfusong withdraws his troops, the situation in the capital will become clear. Now our Taifu's mansion is the only one that dominates, but the Xiliang army has to guard against it. Once Dong Zhuo and those old officials collude, it will still be of great concern to us." threat!"

Jiang Lu, as Taifu Changshi, is definitely the chief counselor under Mushan's command, regardless of government affairs or military affairs, and his duty is to share the Lord's worries.

You can't relax at this time.

"Xiliang Army!"

Mu Shan narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Great Sima's position has just been secured, and Dong Zhuo probably wouldn't dare to make a mistake. If I were him, I wouldn't dare to contact those old ministers!"

"indeed!"

Jiang Lu nodded: "But it's hard to guarantee that they won't connect secretly!"

"We need to be on guard!"

Mu Shan thought about it, and said, "I can let the Xiliang Army stay on the outskirts of the capital, but they must not enter the capital. In the capital, the Violent Bear Army and the Nanyang Army must be completely controlled. This is a matter of principle!"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

In the main hall, apart from Taifu Mushan, there are dozens of counselors, large and small, who are all direct descendants of the Taifu's mansion, and the team came from Nanyang.

"Fair!"

"exist!"

"You dispatch the Nanyang Army to assist Huang Shao, rectify the Nanyang Army, and reorganize as a Southern Army Imperial Guard to defend the capital as soon as possible. I need the title of the Southern Army Imperial Guard to stabilize the situation in the capital!" Mu Shan said.

"Promise!" Li Yan took the order.

"If the troops are insufficient, they can be recruited from Nanyang, and they should not be recruited in the capital as much as possible. I am afraid that we will hardly win the hearts of the capital in a short time. We need to maintain the loyalty of the soldiers under our command. Military power is the foundation of our foothold. There must be no problems!"

"Yes!"

Li Yan nodded.

"By the way, how is the situation in Nanyang?"

Mu Shan went north to King Qin, and also left behind. Yangshan Ying has been in charge of logistics and guarding the land of Nanyang. This is their last retreat. Liu Jin of Yangshan Ying is currently acting as the Nanyang prefect.

"When the news of our going north came out, Jingzhou and Runan were a little ready to move. Liu Jin fought two battles and barely stabilized the situation, but it was also very dangerous. However, I believe that after the news of the capital is sent back, Nanyang will definitely be stable. !"

"Nanyang must not be destabilized!" Mu Shan said: "Send someone to watch closely, if there is any change in Jingzhou, we will use Jingzhou to act!"

"promise!"

A cold light flickered in Jiang Lu's eyes.

"After Ding Yuan's death, there was a vacancy for Zhijin Wuqing, and the court wanted to fill it up, but the choice of this person has become a problem!" Mu Shan opened a document and said in a deep voice.

"Yuan Sikong and the others are probably also staring at this position!"

Jiang Lu's eyes were vivid and bright.

"That is inevitable!"

Mu Shan smiled and said, "I don't really care about these thousands of soldiers, but I have to guard against them!"

"Then my lord might as well wait for them to make a move!"

"That's right!"

Mu Shan nodded when he heard the words, and said, "I want to see who they can recommend!"

……

……

Da Sima's mansion.

This mansion was built in the west city, away from the Zhengyang street where the nobles and dignitaries lived. Although it could be regarded as full of horses and horses, it still seemed a little lonely and excluded from the powerful circle of Luoyang.

In the mansion, above the main hall of Da Sima Dong Zhuo, all the generals were summoned to hold a banquet, enjoy singing and dancing, and drink fine wine. The prosperity of this Luoyang City opened his eyes for this big boss from Xiliang.

"Lord!"

Li Ru, dressed in Tsing Yi, stepped in and bowed his hands.

"Wen You is here, you watch my singer's dance, isn't it beautiful!" Dong Zhuo gulped down his wine and said triumphantly.

"My lord, I have something to report!"

Li Ru said in a low voice.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a faint light burst out from his eyes, as if a sleeping mad lion suddenly woke up, the hairs all over his body were erected, and the cold murderous aura could be wiped away several meters away.

"Let's all go down!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and all the singers and dancers came out in a single file, leaving the hall.

Although he was enjoying himself, he was not lost after all. A pasture mountain was pressing on his head, which instead kept him calm and composed all the time, maintaining the fighting spirit he had when he was fighting in the barren land of Xiliang.

"Wen You, have you comforted Lu Bu?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"It has been appeased!"

Li Ru nodded: "The Bingzhou army is rebellious. I still need Lu Bu to guard the camp for a while. After the Bingzhou army is completely stabilized, I will let Lu Bu enter the city to meet the lord!"

"That's good!"

Dong Zhuo nodded: "The hard-earned horse of a certain family is finally not in vain!"

De Bingzhou Feiqi, his strength has greatly improved, and now Xiliang Feixiong Army has entered the east of the river and can enter the capital at any time, which makes him more confident.

"Wenyou, do you think that if I propose to send the Xiliang army into the city, will the imperial court allow it?"

Although Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and got the position of Grand Sima, but in the capital, all the military power belonged to Mushan, and he was trapped in the capital, lacking a sense of security, so he couldn't wait to transfer troops into the city.

"My lord, absolutely not!" Li Ru shook his head and said, "Moving troops into the city will undoubtedly touch Mushan's bottom line, which is equivalent to turning his face. At this moment, we have not yet established Luoyang's footsteps. We can provoke one or two outside the city. Even if we win the main force of Bingzhou, Mushan will not turn against us hastily, but once we are in the city, we must bow our heads and surrender, otherwise a big war will happen!"

"Now that I have gathered the elite of Bingzhou and the soldiers of the Feixiong Army, they are enough to deal with it. Why don't you dare to fight!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "I, Xiliang Erlang, dare to fight!"

"war!"

"Why don't you dare!"

"That's what the lord said!"

The morale of the generals in Xiliang was quite high, and they all started to drink angrily.

"Do you know, my lord, once we start a fierce battle with Mushan, what will be the consequences?"

"What is it?"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken, or the fish is dead, but the net is not broken!" Li Ru said earnestly: "Although we are strong, we have lost the first move. With the capital of Mushan as the backing and Nanyang reinforcements, we only need to drag the battle for more than three months. , our army will be defeated without a fight, and this battle must not be moved!"

"Wen You, why did you raise other people's ambitions and destroy my prestige in Xiliang!"

Dong Zhuo frowned, slightly dissatisfied: "Is it possible that I, Dong Zhuo, will be ridden on my head by Mu Shan for the rest of my life?"

His Xiliang army is strong, and he has self-confidence, so he always feels a little unwilling to let Li Ru belittle him so much.

"My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you need to be patient!"

Li Ru bowed his head and said word by word: "Although Mushan is in charge of the capital now, he is unpopular. If the lord can bear with him a little bit, fuel his power, let him get carried away, and let him be arrogant, he will be angered by everyone. At that time, we can secretly contact the ministers in the court and overthrow this guy in one fell swoop!"

Regarding the situation in the court, he sees clearly that it is inevitable for Mushan to rule. Although the prestige of the three princes is strong, but they have no soldiers in their hands, they cannot disobey Mushan's power. Only Mushan can be the main court.

At this time, if the Xiliang army forcibly disobeyed Mushan, they would be killed by snipers, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

"A certain letter has always been written to you, and this matter will be done according to your words!"

Dong Zhuo thought about it for a long time before he said angrily.

He now also knows that when he entered Luoyang, there were gains and losses, and he could justifiably establish himself in the capital, but he had to be under the banner of Mushan.

"My lord, you show the attitude of a subject, humble yourself under Mushan, and often enjoy yourself in the mansion. The news spreads, making Mushan think that you are a reckless man in Xiliang, a person who enjoys pleasure, and he will definitely not guard against you!" A wise light flashed in Li Ru's eyes, and he said in a deep voice.
