Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

This means that the Cai family's reputation is too great, and Cai Yong's status in the literary world, especially in the circle of history, is extremely high, which suppressed the countless gossip.

Otherwise, just because of Wei Zhongdao's death, there might be countless people gossiping behind his back, saying that the second Patriarch of the Wei family was beaten to death by Cai Yan.

……

As for this incident, the Wei family's reaction also exceeded many people's expectations.

Perhaps the head of the Wei family, Wei Ke, is really a sensible person...

Although his younger brother died of illness, he rarely blamed Cai Yan for his fault, and insisted on treating Cai Yan with the courtesy of younger siblings.

This led to the fact that Cai Yan did not choose to leave the Wei family and return to the Cai family to serve his father during the time when Cai Yong was down and out in the south of the Yangtze River, but chose to continue as the daughter-in-law of the Wei family to help Wei Qi manage the family affairs of the Wei family.

……

It has to be said that Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded to Zhang Yan from the point that Zhang Yan felt concerned about the Wei family's affairs.

That's right!

After not seeing him for more than two years, his virtuous younger brother's aesthetics finally returned to normal.

What's so good about a girl with yellow flowers, only a little widow like Cai Yan is right!

Moreover, Cai Yan is already 19 years old this year. Whether it is talent or beauty, it is far from what those little girls can match.

Originally, everyone was passing through Hedong this time, and Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to go to the home of Hedong Wei to meet this famous talented woman.

You know, Cai Yan was married before, so she is no longer a girl of Huanghua, and she can come out to meet guests.

……

But since my virtuous younger brother took the initiative to bring up this matter... I think it must be because his aesthetics have reversed.

Just based on Zhang Yan's taste, Cao Cao felt that he must not spoil the interest of this good brother.

Beauty often exists, but like-minded people do not often exist.If Zhang Yan's aesthetics can "betray" to him, it will be a rare joy for Cao Cao.

……

It's a pity that if Zhang Yan knew Cao Cao's thoughts at the moment, he might turn the table over immediately and scold Cao Cao severely.

The reason why he asked about the Hedong Wei family was because when he was in Hedong, he had been entertained by the head of the Wei family, Wei Ke, and Wei Ke later helped him take down the Hedong County and made great achievements.

It can be said that Wei Ji is simply the first noble person he met in his life!

Facing his nobleman, how could Zhang Yan have bad thoughts?

……

As for Cai Yan's matter, it is also false to say that Zhang Yan doesn't care.

It's just because he cares about Cai Yan, not because Zhang Yan has any unreasonable thoughts about her.

First of all, Cai Yan's reputation is known all over the world, and she is also one of the few women in China who can be called "everyone".

For Cai Yan, Zhang Yan grew up listening to her stories, and it is impossible not to admire her.

……

And secondly, there is another reason that compels Zhang Yan to pay attention to Cai Yan, and that is that the other party is Cai Ku's own sister.

Rounding up, that is my own sister.

There will be wars near Luoyang soon. If you want to come to Hedong as a neighboring county, it is hard not to be affected by it.

If it was because he and Dong Zhuo were fighting each other, something happened to the other party...

In Zhang Yan's heart, I am afraid that he will not be able to get over this hurdle in his life.

……

"It's just such an important matter, Chen Liuwei has publicly expressed his support for my rebel army to challenge Dong, and they, as the main family, did not provide any support..."

"Looking at it this way, it is estimated that the pass is already in chaos to a certain extent, right?"

……

"Dong Zhuo messed up the government. All matters, no matter how big or small, were all decided by him alone."

"And this guy is merciless in killing the family."

"Wei's house is too close to Luoyang, so it's probably easy to get Dong Zhuo's attention."

……

Withdrawing his cranky thoughts, Cao Cao couldn't help but add a sentence at last.

In fact, the situation of Hedong Wei's family is really not optimistic now.

The earliest history of the Wei family can be traced back to Wei Qing, the great general of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of years ago.With such a long inheritance, the Wei family can be said to be a very standard family.

But what Dong Zhuo hates the most is the aristocratic family, and so does Li Ru.

After Dong Zhuo seized power, although he would not directly order to sweep the entire family in the pass, he still found two reasons from time to time to take the family in the pass.

Not to mention a small Hedongwei family, even the Hongnong Yang family, a big family with four generations and three princes who can wrestle with Yuan Shao's family, lived cautiously under Dong Zhuo's coercion, for fear of saying anything. What he said was not pleasant, and Dong Zhuo picked him up to make an example of others?

……

"Hiss... You said Dong Zhuo was merciless in killing the family?"

Opposite Cao Cao, Zhang Yan was stunned when he heard the other party's description.

He did know that Dong Zhuo didn't seem to be getting along well with the family, but he didn't expect that the conflict between the other party and the family would be so serious?

Everyone knows that the aristocratic family is harmful to the centralized monarchy. Sooner or later, Zhang Yan will also solve the problem of the aristocratic family.

It's just that the method he used was to turn the aristocratic family into a school tycoon, and then through government intervention, gradually weaken the influence of the school tycoon.

At this point, he and Dong Zhuo have different paths, but the goal is the same!

In other words, if Dong Zhuo really did what Cao Cao said, wouldn't Zhang Yan's behavior of begging Dong at this moment become an ally fighting me hard?

……

"No way, I heard that Dong Zhuo has recently promoted many sons from aristocratic families in the court as the backbone of the court, and also released many capable young people to serve as prefects and county magistrates in various places..."

"Didn't he still use the great Confucian Cai Yong?"

"With the Cai family's relationship, how could he attack the Wei family?"

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and Zhang Yan's expression was a little puzzled.

……

"Hey, what do you know!"

Shaking his head with some disdain, Cao Cao sneered:

"De Mao, you are not in Luoyang, so you don't know what Dong Zhuo did."

"Why did he wantonly promote the sons of the aristocratic family, and still send a large number of young and promising people to take important positions?"

"Isn't it because the old stubborn people in the court were almost killed by him?"

"He promoted those people because if he doesn't promote them, the entire Han court will not be able to function!"

"In just over half a year, the Han court has killed more important officials for crimes than in the past ten years combined!"

Having said that, Cao Cao slammed the table hard.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have sneaked into Dong Zhuo's side with a knife and secretly plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

……

"Also, after Dong Zhuo's rise to power, many forces in various parts of China felt that the Han Dynasty was about to perish, and those rebellions that had been suppressed before also had a tendency to rise."

Beside Cao Cao, Yuan Shao also added aloud at this time:

"I don't know Demao, do you still remember the Yellow Turban Army in Baibo Valley that we fought together?"

"The leader of the Yellow Turban army, Mrs. Guo, saw the collapse of the Han Dynasty, so he once again raised troops against the Han in the east of the river. This time, their power is greater than before! The area affected is also much wider than before!"

……

"As a last resort, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to send his son-in-law Niu Fu as the commander in chief to lead an army of [-] to Hedong to suppress the bandits. Although the battle was won, the loss was so great that Dong Zhuo couldn't help but yell at Dong Zhuo. the point."

"When Niu Fu went back, because he was worried about Dong Zhuo's scolding, he simply claimed that he had suffered a loss. It was because a family in Hedong County led the people and helped the Yellow Turban Army to entrap them, and pushed all the faults to the local people."

"This is good. Dong Zhuo was so angry that the corpses of the people in Hedong were floating for thousands of miles, and the blood was flowing!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the battlefield is too far away from the Wei family, maybe even the Wei family will be greatly affected this time."

……

"With such a madman in power, who knows what absurd things he will do next!"

……

In this way, a few people told Zhang Yan everything about Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.

After Zhang Yan heard the words, he couldn't help frowning tightly.

……

In fact, in this matter, I really can't blame who is right and who is wrong.

Because from Dong Zhuo's point of view, he sent troops to fight against the thieves in order to save the local people from fire and water.But in the blink of an eye, my own people were framed by the common people and the enemy together...

Whoever this matter falls on, I'm afraid it will not be too comfortable.

……

But then again, is it because of this that all the responsibility for this matter can be shifted to the common people?

Of course not!

People who have this kind of thinking, probably... probably have never been a commoner.

After fighting with the Yellow Turban Army in Hedong for several months, Zhang Yan was very clear about those Yellow Turban Army... No, it should be said that it was the method of the Yellow Turban Bandits.

At that time, the Yellow Turbans in Baibo Valley were completely different from the Yellow Turbans once led by the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.

It's not so much the rebel army, it's better to say that those people are evil spirits who want to take advantage of the chaos to gain profits, and they don't have compatriots in their eyes.

During the days when he fought with Baibo Huangjin, except for generals from local families such as Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Xu Huang, all generals from other places, or local generals with lower backgrounds, had an attitude towards the local people. to the point of harshness.

Regardless of who you are, male, female, old or young, anyone within your own sphere of influence will be coerced together, forcing you to give up your property and become a thief.
