I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 620 Shameless person

In the afternoon, outside Luoyang city, at Su Yao camp.

"what?"

"You have shut my army out and you still want to interfere in my military affairs. Do you want me to lead you to fight against Dong Ligong?"

"I have never seen anyone so shameless!"

"You guys think your heads are made of gold, and I, Su Yao, can't bear to chop them off, right?"

Su Yao was shocked.

Su Yao, who had just arrived with a large army, was completely confused when he heard the conditions brought by the envoys from the noble families.

For a moment, Su Yao even doubted whether he had made a wrong decision after working so hard to save the city of Luoyang.

The capital is prosperous.

However, this place is the nest of the aristocratic family.

After hundreds of years of accumulation, even these ordinary-looking people feel that they are superior to others.

He completely ignored the great contribution of Su Yao and others in driving out Dong Zhuo, and instead raised the price, wanting to share the great contribution of saving the emperor by defeating Dong Zhuo.

"Ouch, Champion Hou, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

The young man from aristocratic family, Guo Hui, quickly defended himself:
"How dare we interfere in your military affairs? We just hope to contribute to the great cause of defeating Dong Zhuo, seek a position under your command, and work together to rescue Your Majesty, be loyal to the court, and seek benefits for the people of the world."

"As for the question of the army entering the city."

Guo Hui coughed dryly and said:

"As you know, the imperial court has always strictly prohibited foreign troops from entering the city."

"Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army defied the wrath of the world and stationed troops in the city, but they acted lawlessly and caused unrest under the emperor's feet."

"Today, the surrendered soldiers from Xiliang that you recruited fought fiercely with the Guandong reinforcements led by General Huoqi at the foot of Luoyang City."

"This chaos has really made the people and noble families in the city panic."

"So, all the major families in our capital have discussed it. For the sake of the people's peace, Luoyang City will not let anyone enter the capital before Your Majesty returns."

"However, in order to show our support for you and Lord Yuan in rescuing the king, we are willing to send the city's volunteers and the outstanding talents from each family to assist you in the fight against Dong."

"I beg you two to put aside your conflicts and prejudices for the sake of the safety of the people and the country, and unite to face the enemy. The most important thing is to rescue His Majesty first."

Guo Hui spoke sincerely, as if he was thinking about the people of Luoyang City and the country.

However, Su Yao just sneered and glanced at these so-called children of aristocratic families with a sharp gaze.

"Humph, what you said is very high-sounding."

"But do you think I, Su Yao, am a three-year-old child?"

"Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao can enter Luoyang City, but I, Su Yao, cannot enter, right?"

"I think you are just worried that after I enter the city, I will move your cheese and threaten your interests."

"For the people, for all the people in the world, these are just empty words."

"You should have such awareness. Why didn't you take any action when Dong Zhuo was here?"

"I, Su Yao, traveled all the way north, through many hardships, just to drive out Dong Zhuo, welcome back the emperor, and restore order to the world."

"Now, the imperial capital is right before my eyes, and you want me to stop here. How deplorable and ridiculous!"

Su Yao's words were so powerful that the children of the noble families present looked at each other in bewilderment and were speechless.

They did have their own plans, and were worried that Su Yao's entry into the city would disrupt their existing interests. At the same time, they also hoped to get a piece of the pie in this grand drama of fighting against Dong.

With the halo of their family, as long as they can be included in the big list, they don't need to fight in the real battle, and there is a lot of room for rewarding merits after the war.

But now that Su Yao had exposed it so bluntly, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed and guilty.

Seeing that the discussion was going nowhere, a young man in white stood up and said:
"Champion, calm down. We have no such intention."

The person who spoke was named Wang Lang, also known by his courtesy name Jingxing, and was from Tan County, Donghai Prefecture.

That’s right, it was Wang Lang, who later became one of the three ministers of Cao Wei and was scolded to death by Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

However, although he was still a commoner without any official position at this time, he was no longer little Karami.

The reason is very simple, because Wang Lang’s teacher was actually the famous official of the late Han Dynasty - Taiwei Yang Ci!
You know, Yang Ci is not just an ordinary general, he is from the Hongnong Yang family and has a prominent background.

The Hongnong Yang family became an evergreen in the political arena of the Han Dynasty and often influenced the direction of court affairs because their ancestor Yang Xi was rewarded and made a marquis for saving a part of Xiang Yu's remains in the Battle of Gaixia.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Yang Xi's great-great-grandson Yang Chang, who was also Sima Qian's son-in-law, became the prime minister of Emperor Zhao of Han in one go.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yang family became even more powerful.

Yang Chang's great-great-grandson Yang Zhen served as Taiwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was known as the "Confucius of Guanxi". His son Yang Bing, grandson Yang Ci, and great-grandson Yang Biao were all Taiwei. They were known as the "Four Generations of Taiwei" and the "Famous Family of Tokyo".

Speaking of family background, the Yuan family, with three generations of officials, was just a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family.

And Wang Lang was able to rely on Yang Ci, which definitely meant that he had stepped onto the fast track in his official career, and his rise to prominence was inevitable.

However, he is now among this group of children from aristocratic families, and has run out to follow the Guo clan in Luoyang, acting as an envoy and lobbyist. What is this all about?
It all happened because his teacher Yang Ci passed away four years ago.

It was precisely because of Yang Ci’s death and Yang Biao’s lack of experience that the Yuan family became the true leader of the aristocratic families in Beijing.

It was also because of Yang Ci's death that Wang Lang resigned from his post.

He built a thatched hut around Yang Ci's tomb at the foot of Beimang Mountain on the outskirts of the capital, and mourned for his teacher for four years, which happened to be a time of war and chaos.

According to the original historical course, Wang Lang should have finished his mourning period after the New Year when Dong Zhuo was on the losing side in the war and wanted to move the capital.

He took advantage of the chaos to flee back to his hometown and live in seclusion, and it was not until several years later that he was recruited by Tao Qian and officially stepped onto the stage of history.

However, due to Su Yao's intrusion, all the rhythm was disrupted.

Dong Zhuo fled in a hurry half a year in advance. Wang Lang discovered the change in the situation overnight. Before he could react, he was escorted out by these aristocratic families in the capital.

Although these children of noble families in the capital had average abilities themselves, they knew that Wang Lang was the son of a famous teacher and was well-known for his talent, so they invited him to go on a mission to Su Yao with Guo Hui as a safety measure.

The hope is to turn hostility into friendship, trick this assassin away, and prevent those unruly and unruly border troops from entering the capital again.

So, although Wang Lang didn't pay much attention to the opportunistic Yuan Shao, he still went to take a look for the sake of the face of the royal family in the capital.

As a result, seeing that the talks were about to break down, Wang Lang quickly stepped forward to rescue them:
"Champion Marquis, please listen to what I have to say."

"As for Dong Zhuo's atrocities, we, the sons of Luoyang, hate them as much as the Marquis of Guanjun."

"However, the capital is the heart of the country. Its safety is related to the survival of the country. We dare not slack off in the slightest."

"We just hope that the Champion Marquis can understand our difficulties, rather than trying to compete with the Champion Marquis for credit."

Wang Lang paused and suggested:
"If you feel that our bravery is not necessary, then we can just defend Luoyang and maintain order."

"As for your army entering the city, we should wait until the situation stabilizes and the emperor returns to discuss it later."

"During this period, whether it is your army stationed outside the city or the troops going to pursue Dong Zhuo, we are willing to provide money and food to reward the troops in response."

"How do you think this is going to work?"
