villain

Chapter 138
The sky was cloudless and the weather was exceptionally fine.

The shadow that had shrouded Luoyang for many days disappeared with the frequent good news from various places.First, Lu Zhi captured Wei County, and then defeated Zhang Jiao in Xiaquyang, besieging Zhang Jiao with 5 people and 15 people in Guangzong's tiny place.

Then Dong Zhuo, who took office as a new official, won consecutive battles in Yingchuan, and even killed the leader of the rebels, Bocai, changing the decadent battle situation in Yingchuan.Not long after Dong Zhuo won the victory, Zhu Jun also suddenly exerted his strength after losing the previous Lien Chan.Peng Tuo was defeated in Chenliuyu City, and almost all of Peng Tuo's troops were wiped out. Then, within a few days, he returned to Shidong County and attacked Zhang Liang with Lu Zhi, winning a complete victory.

On Luoyang's face, a long-lost smile appeared again.

The guests in the restaurant suddenly became more lively, and the war situation in various places became the topic of conversation after dinner.There are even plans made by some young and inexperienced people who are talking and pointing fingers. It seems that the Yellow Turban Army's hundreds of thousands of troops are about to be broken.

Emperor Han was also very happy. For the first time in a row, he went to the court for several days, opened the cash drawer even more, and sprinkled millions of dollars in rewards.

Yes, everything is going to pass!

The rebels are gone, the world is peaceful, what should be next?Hehe, there is no need to think about it, it is naturally singing and dancing.

However, some are happy and some are sad.

Some people are happy, and some people will naturally be unhappy.

At least General He Jin has been very unhappy these days.

In the hall, brother He Miaogang sent someone to send a beautiful woman from the Western Regions singing and dancing.Under the thin gauze, you can vaguely see the seductive spring that makes the blood pumping.The gauze is flying, and the beauty is looming.The two bright red spots on the head of the newly peeled chicken, followed by the dance, became more undulating like waves, making the whole hall always filled with the sound of heavy panting.

But He Jin was not interested at all, he leaned on the bed and sighed from time to time.

Two beauties were rubbing his shoulders for him, He Jin seemed to be enjoying it, but actually he was thinking about something annoying.

Who would have thought that Fatty Dong, who blasphemed all day long, would have such good tricks?
First, he won a big victory in Yizhou and beheaded Zhang Niujiao. Even Lu Zhi praised him, and even ranked first in the credit list.

Capturing Shangdang, rushing to aid You and Qing... Although they were defeated in Gaoyi, they immediately turned the tide of the battle and made great contributions.

What's more, Shi Changshi actually spoke for Dong Zhuo. After Huang Fusong was killed, Dong Zhuo became a general of Zuo Zhonglang.

Suddenly, He Jin gasped.

It turned out that the hand of the maidservant was a little heavy, which made him feel very painful.

Opening his eyes, he slapped the beautiful maid on the face with his backhand, He Jin said angrily: "You poor maid, are you so ignorant?"

Are you scolding this beautiful maid, or are you referring to something else?
I'm afraid only He Jin knows it in his heart.The singing and dancing stopped, everyone looked at He Jin, not knowing what was going on.

The beautiful maid was so frightened that she plopped down on her knees, "General, please spare me!"

The more trembling he was, the more furious He Jin became, and he sternly shouted: "Come on, pull this lowly servant girl down and chop it up."

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me..."

The maidservant cried, but would He Jin care about that?Several servants who looked like wolves ran in and dragged the beautiful maid out.

Looking at those dancers with a gloomy face, He Jin kicked over the wine case, "Get out, get out!"

The dancers ran out of the hall in fright, and there were only three scribes left in the living room, looking at the angry He Jin, not knowing why.

"General..."

"Ziyuan, you really came up with a good idea!"

He Jin looked at one of the scribes and snorted coldly, "What about the benefits you promised me back then? Where are you now?"

The name of this scribe is Xu You, who is also a celebrity today, and He Jin's aide.

Hearing He Jin's cursing, he immediately understood the mystery, and quickly got up and said, "General, why do you care about temporary gains and losses?"

Why care about temporary gains and losses?
He Jin really wanted to go over and slap this guy a few times.In the court, he recommended Huangfu Song, Yuan Kui recommended Zhu Jun, and Cai Yong, who seemed to have no connection with the court, recommended Lu Zhi.Zhang Rang and others recommended Dong Zhuo.

Now, Lu Zhi is so powerful in Yizhou, he is the most popular.Although Zhu Jun was defeated before, he also won later.Even Dong Zhuo made great achievements in battle, and even achieved brilliant results after taking over Yingchuan.

Only the person he recommended was inexplicably killed before anything happened.

He Jin felt that he was being plotted against.Logically speaking, he has no friendship with Huangfusong.That guy wholeheartedly attached himself to scholars, not from He Jin's lineage.It was Xu You who told him that by recommending Huangfusong, he could make friends with scholar-bureaucrats, which made He Jin make up his mind.

Although he holds military power, he has no one to rule the world.

He Jin has also been troubled by this for a long time, but fortunately, some party members came to attach him.He Jin also wanted to get rid of Tu Jiazi's reputation, so he got close to the party members.In fact, in terms of relationship, the relationship between He Jin, Zhang Rang and others may be closer.

When her younger sister He Rong first entered the palace, she was bullied.

It was Zhang Rang and others who came forward to defend.Although there is money in it, I have to admit that without Zhang Rang, there would be no He Rong today.Later, He Rong quarreled with Emperor Han again, and even made Emperor Han think of abolishing the Empress.It was Zhang Rang and others who came forward again and each offered tens of millions of dollars to make Emperor Han happy, so they put this matter behind them.Otherwise, how can there be He Jin today?
What troubled He Jin even more was Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was originally his man, and even a confidant he single-handedly promoted.Before that, he was very loyal to him.

But for the scholar-officials, He Jin abandoned Dong Zhuo.

Forget it, Captain Sili didn't say anything, he was still vacillating on the issue of the later governor Yingchuan's war, and didn't say a good word.

Dong Zhuo, that is a person who has made great contributions.

If there is no Dong Zhuo, Nangong may be broken, and the rebels have even occupied Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo must have been very sad at the time...

And it was Xu You in front of him that caused this result.

When He Jin saw Xu You's face, he felt angry and scolded viciously, "Ziyuan, you recommended me a good person!"

There are some things that he can't say, so he can only use this as an excuse to vent.

As soon as Xu You rolled his eyes, he understood why He Jin was angry.He secretly despised in his heart: Tujiazi is just a Tujiazi, he has no worries at all.

He Jin really wronged Yuan Kai and others.It's not that Huangfusong doesn't have talent, it's just that he is headstrong and proud, plus a little bit of bad luck.Although Yuan Kai and the others had no good intentions, they also hoped that Huangfusong could do something.

Unfortunately……

Xu You said, "The general is worried about the situation in Yingchuan?"

He Jin is a dumb man who eats Coptis chinensis, so he can't tell the pain.With a snort, he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Xu You took it seriously and said: "The general's worry is not unreasonable. Dong Zhuo and the eunuch are very close. Now that they have won a big victory in Yingchuan, I am afraid that the arrogance of the eunuch will be even higher. If the rebels are put down in the future, they will be able to threaten The one who arrives at the Great General must be Dong Zhuo."

He Jin frowned, and said solemnly: "What does Ziyuan mean by that? Zhongying is a member of the old Taiwei's sect, and he is also on good terms with me. He has made outstanding military exploits before, and is actually a pillar of the imperial court. How can he threaten me? "

"General, is Dong Zhuo really on good terms with you? If so, why did the eunuch work so hard to beg for him?"

He Jin thought: Isn't it you dogs who are provoking it?
He Yong, who was sitting under Xu You's head, stood up, "General, Ziyuan's words are not intimidating at all. The greater Dong Zhuo's military exploits, the greater the threat to the general in the future. Don't forget the great general. Regarding the matter of Wei Duanying, what kind of harm did he cause by his association with the eunuch back then? I think Dong Zhuo today is the same as Duanying yesterday, so we must guard against it."

At that time, Duan Ying was attached to the eunuch and participated in the massacre of Taixue.

Even the great general Dou Wu couldn't touch his edge.This sentence really pierced He Jin's heart.

Today's Dong Zhuo is yesterday's Duan Ying, so will today's general be like yesterday's general Dou Wu?
He Jin couldn't help taking a breath.

"so what should I do?"

Xu You said: "The general should try his best to win over Lu Zhi... Now among the three generals who have suppressed the rebellion, only Lu Zigan has no clear position. We should try our best to win over Lu Zhi to offset the consequences caused by Huangfusong. At the same time, we Dong Zhuo cannot be allowed to make meritorious deeds... the more meritorious service he makes, the more serious the consequences will be in the future, the general must guard against it."

He Jin frowned, "Dong Zhuo supervised the battle against Yingchuan, how can I prevent him from making meritorious deeds?"

"General, the rebels are nothing but rotten scales, so it's nothing to worry about. Let Zhu Jun and Dong Zhuo switch defenses, order Dong Zhuo to garrison the front line of Hulao Pass, and let Gongwei wipe out the rebels. In this way, Dong Zhuo has great abilities. , so what?"

"Change in coach?"

He Jin's face changed, and he said sharply: "I don't know, this is a big taboo for military strategists?"

"General, although it is a big taboo, it is better than dying in the future without a place to bury you! The lessons learned by Dou Wu and Chen Fan, the general will never forget."

He Yong's cold words made He Jin shut his mouth immediately.

It was very bitter in my heart: Zhong Ying, do you really want to become that Duan Ying from yesterday?
Also feel inexplicably angry.If Dong Zhuo, Zhang Rang and the others get close, isn't that a betrayal of me?It's really hateful!

He Jin knew that the person who caused this situation was actually himself.Fall out with Dong Zhuo?He Jin was not ready for this yet.Not to mention the many years of friendship, but it is just the fate of sympathy that makes He Jin hesitate.

"This matter is of great importance, let me think twice."

After speaking, He Jin made a gesture of seeing off the guests.Both Xu You and He Yong are people with winks, how can they not understand what He Jin means?
Immediately got up to say goodbye, and walked out of the General's Mansion.

He Jin turned his eyes and stared at the man who had been silent all this time, "Gongzu, do you think what they said makes sense?"

This person is about fifty years old, and his beard and hair have already turned white.

Although he was dressed as a literati, his brows revealed the heroic spirit of a martial artist.Hearing He Jin's inquiry, he stood up and said loudly: "General, Xu You and He Yongmu have no father, their hearts should be punished, their hearts should be punished!"

"Oh, what did Gong Zu say?"

"Military affairs, what's the matter? Xu You and He Yong are both upright, inadequacies and schemes. In Dong Zhuo's matter, you, the general, were at fault first. Now that he has made great achievements, the general should try to win him over. With the general and Dong Zhuo's Friendship should not be too difficult. Dong Zhuo is a smart man, and he has his own priorities between the general and Zhang Rang and other eunuchs."

Although it didn't catch my ear, He Jin nodded repeatedly.

"Gongzu's words are indeed old-fashioned seeking for the country."

"Qian also said that if a man wants to succeed, he must not be without soldiers. Now that the chaos will end, it is time for the general to gather his military power. Yuan Kai and others are all seeking their own self-interest, and they have no power to restrain chickens. How can they succeed? Big things? Qian has a plan. Jing, Yang, and Xu are rich lands. The general should send his confidantes to take over the three lands. Then slowly plan... If there is something in the court, he will raise his arms and shout, and the army of each state will respond. Chao Gang, the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner."

He Jin nodded, "That's a good statement. That Zhongying..."

"Dong Zhuo's matter is not difficult to deal with. He is now in the limelight in Yingchuan. If he is withdrawn rashly, he will be completely angered. It is better to let him continue to supervise the battle in Yingchuan. If the battle goes well, it is the general who knows people." How can Dong Zhuo not be grateful? If the battle does not go well, the general will try to remove him again. At that time, Dong Zhuo will not miss Yingchuan... Also, the general must not forget that Wan County is still in danger, so we have to change Shuai, even if Gong Wei has the talent to know the world, he still needs to clean up from the beginning, when the time comes...why don't the general urge Dong Zhuo to step up and wipe out the Yingchuan rebels, and send troops to Wan County?"

He Jin clapped his hands together, "Gongzu's words won my heart. Why don't I go to the court tomorrow and appoint Gongzu as the governor of Xuzhou, how about it?"

"Tao Qian will live up to the great general's love!"

******
He Jin and Tao Qian planned.

When Xu You and He Yong left the General's Mansion, they would also be worried about death.

It can be seen that He Jin is very dissatisfied with the current situation.If you don't try to correct it, I'm afraid there will be more and more contradictions.

Xu You and the two sat in the carriage, on the way to Yuan's Mansion, silent.

"Recommending Huangfusong, is it really a failure?"

Xu You couldn't help asking: "Yizhen is from a family of famous generals, with outstanding military tactics. I thought he could help us make He Suigao stand with us, but it didn't happen... I don't believe it. Is Yizhen better than Can't you be a good family?"

He Yong did not answer, his face revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Bo Qiu, why don't you speak?"

He Yong raised his head, "I suddenly remembered something."

"Oh?"

"The battle report said that the person who killed Yizhen was a rebel with a double hammer and a hideous face. I always feel that this image seems to have been seen somewhere... Just now you mentioned Yizhen again. I think this killer Yizhen is very similar to a person."

Xu You's eyes lit up, "Who?"

"Dong Zhuo's son, Dong Bi!" He Yong said: "When I saw this son for the first time in Yingchuan, I felt that this son had a cruel temperament. And I was very impressed with the weapons he used, which were a pair of sledgehammers. I haven't thought about it before, but today you talk about Dong Zhuo and shut up about Dong Zhuo, which reminds me of this. Could it be that killing Yizhen..."

He Yong didn't finish his sentence, but Xu You already understood.

"Boqiu, do you remember correctly?"

"How could I remember wrongly. Ciming and Mr. Bo Jie were present at the time, and there are many people who can prove it."

"if it is like this……"

Xu You's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "No poison, no husband, Dong Zhuo has already appeared, we must try to get rid of him."

"That's right!" He Yong couldn't forget Dong Zhuo's arrogance at the time, "But we should find evidence first. If someone can identify it, Dong Zhuo must be full of mouths, and he can't explain it clearly."

Xu You thought for a while, "I remember that many of Yizhen's soldiers went to Gongwei's place, so it must not be difficult to identify them."

The two looked at each other and smiled, suddenly feeling refreshed.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the street.Immediately afterwards, someone shouted loudly: "Yingchuan good news, Yingchuan good news!"

"what happened?"

Xu You raised the car curtain and asked loudly, "Why is there such a commotion?"

The family members were beaming, and said with a smile on their faces: "Master, good news, good news... Great victory in Yingchuan!"

"what?"

"Just now I heard that Yingchuan sent the battle report, and Yingchuan has won! The bandit chief Zhang Bao was beheaded, and his head has been sent to Luoyang."

Xu You was shocked when he heard this.

He looked at He Yong and said: "How could this happen? That good family boy, who has such abilities, actually beheaded the bandit chieftain?"

He Yong's face became even more gloomy.

--------

Well, I announce that today is my birthday, please give me the monthly pass as a gift.

Dong Bi suddenly stood up, "Isn't that right, I remember your birthday was already in January?"

"This, this...today is my lunar birthday..."

"Shameless, just grabbed the monthly ticket with me, looking for a fight!"

After Dong Bi knocked me to the ground, he posed with his sledgehammer on his chest, "Actually, today is my birthday, please give me the monthly pass, wow..."
