Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C378
“Haha …” The three of them laughed and raised their cups.
At this moment, the door to the private room suddenly opened with a creak. A figure slipped in. Zhang Banxian thought that the owner of the tavern had entered again. He was about to get angry, but when he turned around, he suddenly screamed: “You …”
Fei Hong and Liang Ming hurriedly raised their heads, and could not help but be shocked. So the one who came in was none other than Zhang Ren’s eunuch, Little Yellow Gate’s Li Yu. As Zhang Nan refused to follow hussar general, a few of the eunuchs also followed him and disappeared without a trace.
“The lords are really in the mood …” Dong Zhuo has already raised his butcher’s blade, and yet you all are still drinking here! ” Li Yu sat down and stared at the Zhang Banxian unhappily: “Could this be the result that the hussar general wanted to see?
“Why are you blaming hussar general? Don’t tell me you’re not the ones who caused everything today? ” Zhang Banxian’s face changed as she said angrily, “If you didn’t kill He Jin, the situation would not have been this bad! If the Darkhan Dynasty were to die one day, you all will be the main culprits! ”
Li Yu swallowed his saliva, and was unable to say a word.
“Speak, why are you looking for us?” Although the Zhang Banxian was a little angry, these eunuchs had helped the cavalry of Youzhou before, even though they had also received many benefits from the cavalry of Youzhou. If they have any difficulties, help them, help them as much as you can.
“The Grand Manager is here with us. We have been thinking of ways to save the Young Emperor.” After being angered by Zhang Banxian for a while, Li Yu’s attitude softened as well, “These few days, we have discovered that you are also in contact with the palace maids in North Palace. Originally, after we rescued the Young Emperor, we were prepared to seek refuge in the hussar general. That was why the Grand Manager had ordered me to contact you all so that we could rescue the Young Emperor together. ”
“Oh …” Zhang Banxian understood that these Eunuch had not given up. They still wanted to send the Young Emperor to cavalry of Youzhou to restore their former power. Zhang Banxian sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she continuously nodded her head. You are all familiar with the imperial palace. If we join forces, we will definitely be able to save the Young Emperor. ”
In the morning assembly the next day, half of the ministers actually did not come. The Gardner Hall was cold and cheerless. Even the ministers that came to attend the morning assembly were silent. The hall was so quiet that it made people’s hearts jump.
Dong Zhuo walked forward and said coldly: “Yesterday afternoon, a dozen or so ministers, including Zong Zheng, Liu Ji, Liu Yuan, Sanglang Zhang Kui and others, suddenly rebelled, attempting to slay the Son of Heaven to establish a new ruler. I have already given the order to kill all those who are involved in this conspiracy! ”
The atmosphere in the Gardner Hall was tense, filled with killing intent. These ministers were already on tenterhooks when they came to participate in the assembly. Hearing Dong Zhuo’s words, the ministers were even more shocked, their expressions changed, and some of the timid ministers could not help but tremble.
“The rebellion has subsided and all the conspirators have been killed.” Dong Zhuo paused for a moment, his eyes coldly swept across the crowd and said sternly: “Whoever dares to speak such nonsense, has the right to speak. If you want to live, keep your mouth in check. ”
“Brother Gongsun, you must take care of yourself in Liaodong. The Hussar General Yang Lin had been in control of the entire Youzhou for five years, and all the officials of the County were his subordinates. When you go this time, it would be best for you to greet the hussar general and get his support before you continue your slow development in the Liaodong. ”
Xu Rong had followed Dong Zhuo for many years and was deeply trusted by him. The reason he recommended Gongsun Du to him was also because he wanted to return the favor to Gongsun Du. He didn’t expect Dong Zhuo to send Gongsun Du to the Liaodong, so the smart Xu Rong immediately understood what he meant. Thinking that Gongsun Du was such a strong person, Xu Rong couldn’t help but worry.
“Although Yang Lin is powerful, the Liaodong is still our homeland, and our family’s influence and connections in the Liaodong are not inferior to Yang Lin’s either. If I went to see him, he would underestimate me. If I go straight to the office, what can he do about it? ”
Gongsun Du was extremely confident, and didn’t care about Yang Lin at all. He had also been a Jizhou Thorn History before, and his official position was not small either. There was no need to pay Yang Lin a visit. Furthermore, he was also a little worried that if he went to see Yang Lin and had Yang Lin take care of him, he would not have the chance to go to Liaodong again.
Seeing that he could not persuade Gongsun Du, Xu Rong could only shake his head helplessly. As a general, he understood Yang Lin better. With Yang Lin’s current strength, he couldn’t possibly tolerate a taiwai who didn’t have the same thoughts as him in his own territory.
“Alright, take care!” Xu Rong’s mood was also as dark and gloomy as the sky. He waved his hands to bid farewell to Gongsun Du. Looking at Gongsun Du’s retreating back, Xu Rong’s heart was filled with bitterness. He was truly unable to predict how he would be able to recommend Gongsun Du, but he did not know whether it would be to help him or harm him.
In the Yuan Mansion, Xu You, Feng Ji, Chen Lin, Lu Zhong, Guo Jia and more than a dozen other people were gathered. Yuan grins amiably and greets each of them, affectionately pulling the house with them. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more harmonious, Yuan Wu slowly stopped smiling.
“Even though you all aren’t current famous people, I can see that you are all young geniuses of my big size, and will definitely become the pillars of my Darky Court in the future. But now that Dong Zhuo is running amok in the imperial court, killing the empress dowager without permission and now that he has killed court courtier and wants to monopolize the imperial court and build his own kingdom, his wolf’s ambition is already clear as day, my big man is at death’s door. ”
At this point, Yuan Zhong was already unable to hold back his sobs. He had wanted to be touched by the people he had invited, but he himself was touched as well. Maybe it was because he was touched by his own sensitivity that he actually cried.
As expected, these young scholars were moved, they all denounced Dong Zhuo and vowed to be loyal to the emperor, and swore an eternal vow with the Dong Zou. Xu You, who had long been prepared for Yuan Huo to finish his work, became even more furious. He boldly said, “Master Tutor, as long as you have a use for us, we will definitely go through fire and water for you!”
“You are the future of my big men, how can I let you die so easily?” Yuan Yuan waved his hand and interrupted Xu You’s words, “It’s just that the Luoyang is in chaos right now, so it’s not safe for you to stay in the Luoyang. In order to save a lot of talent for my big man, I want you all to leave Luoyang and head to BoHai to hide at Yuan Shao’s place, and also help Yuan Shao. ”
Following the fear and disappointment they had towards Dong Zhuo, many Minister of the Court s and scholars had already escaped from the Luoyang. The reason they did not leave, was because they wanted to find an opportunity to rise in power. But now that Dong Zhuo had started a massacre, they were afraid. They wanted to leave the Luoyang, but Yuan Zhong had pointed out a way out for them, what was there to be picky about?
“Thank you Master Tutor for your concern. We will go back to pack our bags, leave Luoyang immediately and head towards BoHai.” Xu You was the first to stand up, leading everyone to bid farewell to Yuan Zhong. Actually, Xu You had already been Yuan Shao’s best friend for a long time. The reason he stayed in Luoyang was because Yuan Gui had arranged for him to send these young talents to Yuan Shao.
“Master, the Luoyang is in such a chaos, the ministers are in danger, let’s go back to the plain.” Although he had not been in the Luoyang for long, Dong Zhuo’s bloody massacre still frightened Shang Shu Hua Xin’s wife. She tried her best to persuade Hua Xin to leave this dangerous place, the Luoyang, as soon as possible.
“Sigh …” I am a stately Darky Court, how can I allow Dong Zhuo, the butcher, to run rampant through me? ” Hua Xin sighed to the sky, tears already flowing out of his eyes. Not only was he lamenting about the decline of the Darky Court, he was also lamenting about the ups and downs of his life.
It was also last year when the Hanling Emperor was still alive. The Jizhou Thorn History had plotted to abolish the Spirit Emperor, trying to establish the Spirit Emperor as the younger brother of the Spirit Emperor, the Hefei Marquis Liu Ping. Wang Fen invited Hua Xin, who was then a doctor, to discuss the situation. Hua Xin thought that it would be difficult for Wang Fen to accomplish anything, so he rejected Wang Fen. Afterwards, Wang Fen escaped and committed suicide. She also went home through the help of a patient.
Dong Zhuo entered the Luoyang, and accepted all the wise warriors in the world. Hua Xin thought that he had found a suitable place to use the skill, so he went back to the Luoyang, and was appointed by Dong Zhuo as Shang Shu Lang. Who knew that Dong Zhuo would monopolize the imperial court and do whatever he wanted, causing Hua Xin to be greatly disappointed. And now, Dong Zhuo had even raised his butcher’s blade, wantonly killing the Minister of the Court. Hua Xin’s disappointment had turned into anger. It was a pity that he was invincible, but what about someone with the capability of Dong Zhuo? He could only resign his office and prepare to return to his hometown.
“Master, a scribe came to the door, please help me see him, he has something to discuss with me.” “A servant suddenly walked in, and interrupted Hua Xin’s train of thoughts. Master, we have never seen this mister before, and he is unwilling to introduce himself. ”
“Mm …” Hua Xin felt that it was a little strange. At this time, who would come and find him? What is it? However, Hua Xin was not afraid of things. If he was not even afraid of the things that Wang Fen did, what was there to be afraid of? ” “Go and let him in. Tell him to wait for me in the lobby.”
When Hua Xin arrived at the great hall, he realized that he did not recognize this person. With his ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes, it was clear that he was a scholar from the Humble Class. He frowned and asked expressionlessly: “I wonder what sir’s name is, and why are you looking for Hua Xin?”
“I am Zhang Ling, a strategist under the command of hussar general, Youzhou, Lord Yang Lin Mu. On the orders of the hussar general, I am here to pay my respects to Master Shang Shu. ” Zhang Banxian did not care about Hua Xin’s cold attitude, and respectfully bowed to Hua Xin.
“I don’t dare to accept it, I don’t dare to accept it.” Hua Xin hurriedly returned the greeting, secretly blaming himself for not recognizing Mt. Tai. Not only was Zhang Ling the strategist of the hussar general, he was also a great officer in charge of a region in the Hanoi County Imperial Guard. His rank was even higher than his own, so he asked humbly, “I wonder what guidance does Master Zhang Ling have for coming to this humble house?”
“hussar general has heard of Mr. Hua Xin’s great name for a long time. When they heard that Mr. Hua Xin had left for his hometown, they felt sad for the loss of a wise man in Darky Court, but also felt pity that Mr. Hua Xin had failed to fulfil his dream. If Mr. Hua Xin does not abandon us, hussar general will entrust Mr. Hua Xin to manage the affairs of the Youzhou. ”
This was Yang Lin’s talent strategy. Taking advantage of the chaos in Luoyang, the scholars quickly escaped from the Luoyang, allowing the Zhang Banxian to gather all kinds of talented people. When the Zhang Banxian was saving the Young Emperor, she heard that Hua Xin had resigned due to illness, and immediately rushed over to save Hua Xin.
“Thank you, hussar general, for your appreciation. It’s just that I’ve already applied to the imperial government for leave, so I can’t come to hussar general to serve.” Hua Xin never thought that the hussar general would send someone to invite him, but he quickly reacted and said solemnly: “The hussar general seems to be rather content with the Youzhou, and doesn’t care about the affairs of the imperial government, what’s the use of asking us?”
