Chapter 276 Scheduled Assassination
Now that he has made up his mind, Xun You actually has no intention of discussing matters with these scholars.But he couldn't withdraw, he could only pretend to be thinking hard, and listen to these people continue to talk.

Everyone didn't know what Xun You was thinking at this time, but they listened to Xun You's evaluation of Ma Chao.The topic of discussion gradually moved closer to Ma Chao.

"Disregarding this son's character, let's talk about Ma Chao's literary talent, but he is also worthy of attention. A song "Serving the Country" seems to have fulfilled his life's wish." After talking for a long time, everyone still dare not rashly conclude whether Ma Chao is loyal or not. Because of this, Shi Sun Rui talked about Ma Chao from the aspect of talent and learning.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was after Cao Cao opened the "Jian'an Literature" that quatrains began to flourish.But it was not recognized at this time, not to mention that Ma Chao was still a quatrain.At this time, Confucian classics were popular, and Ma Chao, as a warrior, could write good characters and compose verses, which was considered remarkable in the world, but in front of these scholars who had read the classics, he was only at a passing level. Sun Rui did not elevate Ma Chao's talents very high.

At this time, scholars admired Kong Rong's quick wit, Li Ying's clear flow, Cai Yong's obscenity, and Lu Zhi's erudition; but none of these Ma Chao, In the eyes of these people, Ma Chao is still a vulgar warrior, the only thing better than Dong Zhuo is that he may have some talents.

Of course, his quick-wittedness and boldness are also appreciated by a small number of scholars, such as Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Fazheng, Li Ru and other humble scholars, as well as the current Xun You, who lost confidence in the Eastern Han regime and believed that the world The scholars who will be in chaos.

"I'll make a conclusion after I have personally contacted that Ma Chao. After all, what Gongda said has some truth. This matter needs to be cautious and figured out slowly." After talking, it seems to be somewhat deviated from today's theme , Wang Yun made a conclusion on this matter.He continued to change the subject, talking about plotting against Dong Zhuo: "Thief Dong is getting more and more frenzied now, and he cooks hundreds of virtuous men to death, just for the fun of it. If you don't kill this thief, it's too much for heaven and man!"

"What Situ said is to... assassinate?" Shi Sun Rui was considered to be the most flexible among these scholars, and he could hear a hint of taste from Wang Yun's tone.

And everyone took a breath of cold air, as if they were unwilling to make this decision but helpless.Even Xun You's expression gradually turned serious.

Generally speaking, the general state of political struggle is that it is not triggered.Even if I have the trump card in your hand, I will also pinch your weakness.When everyone is free, move each other in a place where it doesn't hurt, and let the emperor who is high in the middle be an arbiter. In this way, the three parties can live in peace.

But Dong Zhuo didn't play his cards according to the routine at all, or he was not very smart in the eyes of these scholars.In the eyes of these scholars, Dong Zhuo should leave some room for manoeuvre, and should not do everything when dealing with the Kwantung heroes and imperial power!In this way, they, the Chang'an scholars who are caught in the middle, will not be allowed to hurt both sides when everyone is in a stalemate in the end.

However, Dong Zhuo didn't do that.In other words, Li Ru did not follow this fixed path of political struggle.In the eyes of these scholars, Li Ru is a little clever, but also a little stupid.Smarter than real fools, but dumber than really smart people.Obviously only a second-rate IQ, but he made serious mistakes on key issues!
He simply does not understand that politics is a game of compromise!He saw through the painstaking schemes of his people, and even made Dong Zhuo move the capital to prevent future troubles. This approach did not leave any room for the scholars in Chang'an, and forced both the scholars in Chang'an and Dong Zhuo to a dead end!
Now, Dong Zhuoyue is brutally retaliating against the scholars, but these scholars do not have Dong Zhuo's weakness at all, forcing them to choose to assassinate!

Although, assassination is the most despised method since ancient times, and it is also the worst strategy among all political struggle methods.In the past, these scholars, who have always been deeply aware of righteousness and deeply influenced by Confucianism, would scoff at the mention of this method, but now, they have no choice but to adopt it, because, in his opinion, this is a war provoked by Dong Zhuo !What's more, they had conspired to assassinate Dong Yi before, and now they would have no face to take care of if they assassinated Dong Zhuo.

Naturally, this is actually the sorrow of these scholars.Because these scholars have no power to resist at all, so they have to make the most helpless choice!

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally nodded their heads.Even Xun You sighed: If Ma Chao can be brought in as foreign aid in a short period of time, the scholars will indeed have a competitive advantage with Dong Zhuo.But the problem is, Ma Chao is not a fool, and these scholars still look down on Ma Chao... They were happy when they planned to let the Ma family fight against the Dong family, but it was so difficult when they really relied on others.

Therefore, these high-sighted and low-handed natures made them choose to kill Dong Zhuo directly, resulting in the leaderless Dong Zhuo Group, and finally divided and eliminated Dong Zhuo's subordinate forces.Perhaps, this may also realize the dream of scholars.

Of course, this road is very dangerous. If there is a slight carelessness when subduing Dong Zhuo's forces in the middle, it will cause a mutiny.Then Chang'an will be plunged into a sea of ​​flames, and it will be beyond redemption.

"My lord Situ, I have some calculations in my mind about this plan. But even if I succeed in assassinating Dong Zhuo, in addition to the [-] soldiers under the Sili Captain Huang and the [-] cavalry under the Hu Qiang Captain, we will also have a family general." For the trilogy, at most six or seven thousand soldiers and horses can be assembled, with such strength, how can the situation in Chang'an be stabilized?"

"This old man has been worrying about this for a long time. You don't know, besides Zhenxi General Ma Chao, there is another person who is also dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo?" old fox.

"There is no general in the Han Dynasty, and Lu Shangshu died of illness the month before last; Huangfusong has given up the military power to the bandits under Dong Zhuo's false edict; and Master Zhu Jun is still fighting against Zhongmou, but the situation seems not to be very good..." Shisun Rui exited, thinking that Wang Yun wanted to have deep meaning, but suddenly guessed: "Could it be Dong Zhuo's subordinates?"

"Of course!" Wang Yun clapped his hands and laughed, this scholar Sun Rui is really quick-witted!
"Could it be Xu Rong who is loyal to his duty?" Huang Wan guessed out. In his opinion, only a general with iron blood and integrity like Xu Rong is worthy of the great cause of helping the Han Dynasty.

In fact, no wonder these people think so.Because most of Dong Zhuo's old troops were Liangzhou generals; but Zhonglang General Xu Rong was an exception. He was from Liaodong and was a loyal and brave man.Although he defeated Cao Cao in Xingyang and Sun Jian in Luoyang, he only followed orders.From this, we can also see his outstanding military talent.Everyone felt that if this person could submit to the scholars, his career would be promising.

But Wang Yun lowered his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Xu Rong is loyal to his duty, and I am afraid it will be difficult to shake. If the big thing is done, Xu Rong will naturally bow his head and obey orders. However, if he is asked to betray Dong Bandit, the old man has ulterior motives." Not caught."

When Shi Sun Rui heard this, he asked urgently, "Who is Master Situ talking about?"

"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!"

"That kind of vulgar people are repeatedly cunning and treacherous, how can they have a heart for a certain class?" Everyone couldn't help but sighed, and seemed to have some resentment for Wang Yun's answer.

But Xun You secretly laughed in his heart: Wang Yun, Wang Yun, the reason is that you don't see the importance of Ma Chao, so you don't use Ma Chao.Now it seems that I wronged you.You are afraid that you will not be able to subdue Ma Chao, so you chose Lu Bu as the next best thing, right?

Xun You already had the intention of leaving in his heart, so he pushed the boat along and said for Wang Yun: "Although Lu Bu has a bad character, he is the easiest target for a certain class to appease. If he uses the [-] Bingzhou wolf riders in his hand properly, he will be able to shock you again." If the [-] flying bears in Xu Rong's hands are restrained, Chang'an will be stable and great things will be accomplished."

Everyone still wanted to refute, but they had already ruled out Ma Chao before, and they couldn't expect Xu Rong, not to mention, Lu Bu was still Wang Yun's choice, so they had no reason to refute.As a result, everyone had to agree, and began to yell at Dong Zhuo for being immoral and cruel.

Only Wu Fu, the captain of the Yueqi School, had a stern look in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
