When he succeeds, he becomes an emperor; when he fails, he becomes a rich man. -------Ming Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
It is said that Chen Long pretended to be Yan Baihu and was attacked in a dark alley. Several assassins hid themselves in the haystack and pierced out. Chen Long jumped up easily to avoid the sharp edge. Unexpectedly, an iron arrow came from the dark place and shot into Chen Long's chest and abdomen like a meteor.
Chen Long was in mid-air, unable to dodge. He could only twist his body slightly to allow the Zheyue Crossbow hidden in his arms to receive the arrow. Although the iron arrow bounced away, the Zheyue Crossbow hit his chest hard. Fortunately, Chen Long's internal energy was flowing freely and his chest muscles were fully covered. Even so, he still suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Chen Long and the special team members worked together and finally captured the driver of the carriage alive. The rest of them fled with a whistle. Back at the mansion, Chen Long didn't have time to check his injuries, so he interrogated him personally, adopted a gentle policy, and finally got the coachman to speak.
The coachman asked Chen Long: "General, have you ever heard of the Alliance to Defeat Dong?"
Chen Long yelled, "Are you sent by the alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo? Do you want to assassinate Dong Zhuo's cronies?"
The coachman said: "Exactly. I have been lurking in Luoyang for a long time, but unfortunately Dong's thieves are very well protected, so I set my sights on the general in order to remove Dong Zhuo's wings."
Chen Long and Lu Chang looked at each other and said to themselves that it was lucky that they were not dead, otherwise it would have been an eternal injustice. He continued to ask: "Who are the people in the Dong Dong alliance you are talking about? Who are you instigating?"
The horseman said: "After Dong was deposed, in order to gain fame and calm down the opposition, he re-appointed the original officials. Xun Shuang, Chen Ji, Han Rong, etc. were all appointed voluntarily, and Yuan Shao was appointed governor of Bohai. Han Fu was the shepherd of Jizhou, Liu Dai was the governor of Yanzhou, Kong Min was the governor of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao was the governor of Chenliu, and Zhang Zi was the governor of Nanyang. Yuan Shu in Kyoto fled to Nanyang because he was afraid of Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao believed that Dong Zhuo would definitely be defeated, so He also fled to Chenliu. Cao Cao dispersed his family wealth, and with the help of Xiaolian Weizi, he organized a rebel army to attack Dong Zhuo. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, falsely claimed that he was the Third Duke of the capital and sent letters to various states and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's evil deeds, hoping that Troops were raised in various places. As a result, warlords from all over the country gathered together and prepared to launch a banner to challenge Dong, including: Bohai Governor Yuan Shao, Hou General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Governor Kong Niao, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Hanoi Governor Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei."
The words "rabble" floated in Chen Long's mind. These people were consistent with the alliance to fight against Dong in official history, and were not the opponents of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu at all. It was Wang Yun who really killed Dong Zhuo. As the saying goes, "Three battles in the Tiger Prison were laborious, but the triumphant song was played in Fengyiting."
The groom continued: "The villain is a loyal follower recruited by Cao Cao. Because of his outstanding martial arts skills, he was sent to Luoyang as an assassin. I heard from my lord Cao Cao that before the formation of a coalition against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo must be killed by assassination. At worst, his left and right arms will be cut off."
Chen Long heard that it was Cao Cao, and thought that Cao Cao was indeed unscrupulous in doing things, so he asked: "You are waiting in Luoyang, is there anyone who can handle it from within?"
The coachman said hurriedly: "It's Yang Xun, the captain of Sili School and Yilang."
Chen Long nodded and said, "Go and save your family." After that, he asked Lu Chang to send him away, and the man went away with a lot of thanks.
After the assassin left, Chen Long took out the Zheyue Crossbow from his arms and saw an obvious shallow pit on the side of the crossbow, which was the mark left by the iron arrow. After taking off his shirt, he saw bruises on his chest muscles. Fortunately, it was just a bruise.
After applying some wound medicine, Chen Long picked up the iron arrow shot by the assassin above the house and looked at it carefully in his hand. The iron arrowhead shone with a cold light. It seemed to be slightly narrower than ordinary iron arrows, but it was sharper. It could resist air resistance, making the shooting range longer and the iron arrows flying more smoothly. There are no traces on the iron arrow. If it is said to be the Xiliang iron arrow in Lu Bu's hand, there seems to be no clue.
Lu Chang came back, took the iron arrow, looked at it, and said smoothly: "The tail feathers are quite white." Chen Long's heart moved. He looked carefully at the white feathers and saw that they were very sparse. Only a few pieces were inlaid to balance the iron arrows. . Chen Long plucked out the tail feathers, smelled it and said, "Do Xiliang people use goose feathers to make tail feathers?"
Lu Chang was amused by Chen Long and said with a smile: "People in Xiliang raise cattle and horses, but I'm afraid no one raises geese."
Of course Chen Long knew what the answer would be. He thought for a moment and said: "You immediately arrange for someone to go to Zhao Da secretly. In addition to getting the news about Chang'an, ask Zhao Da to send people to report to Chang'an immediately, and let the Han Shao Emperor help the Dong Alliance. Each of the generals issued a formal edict to challenge Dong and appointed Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. See how many responses we can receive to obey the orders." Then he gave Lu Chang the list of generals in the alliance to defeat Dong.
When Lu Chang was about to arrange his men, Chen Long said again: "Just ask your men to find Zhao Da. You should personally monitor Yang Xun, the captain of the Sili School, to see who he comes in contact with on a daily basis, and pay special attention to his relationship with Wang Yun." "Lu Chang agreed and went.
In Chen Long's heart, he had always suspected that Dong Zhuo might have seen through his face and asked Lu Bu to attack him on the road. He happened to bump into the assassins who wanted to attack Dong's alliance. However, the timing is so accurate, it is puzzling and cannot be explained. Now that Yang Xun is on the level, if Yang Xun is Wang Yun's man, Wang Yun will naturally know the route to assassinate him. Then today's poetry meeting revealed Wang Yun's conspiracy. It is very likely that Wang Yun sent someone behind the scenes. He laid an ambush on his way back to the mansion in an attempt to kill someone and silence him. It is very possible to kill yourself and be done with it.
Thinking of this, I secretly hated Wang Yun for not distinguishing between friends and foes, and for being ruthless. The most important thing is that Wang Yun, Shi Sunrui, Yang Xun and other people who secretly plotted to kill Dong Zhuo in the capital may regard Chen Long as the second Dong Zhuo, and it is still unknown which emperor they will recognize. . Although his ultimate goal is to retain the symbol of the emperor, after establishing the parliament, he also wants to deprive the emperor of imperial power. He is absolutely incompatible with royalists such as Wang Yun. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo is killed in the future, it is very likely that Wang Yun will become his biggest enemy. .
Chen Long thought of this and felt that the situation was complicated. By participating in today's poetry meeting, he had been deeply involved in the infernal affairs between Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo. And his only advantage is the knowledge of official history from time travel. If he wants to take the initiative, he must meet Diao Chan in Wang Yun's house. If Diao Chan can be kidnapped secretly, not only can Diao Chan be rescued and her fate of being manipulated by Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Wang Yun and their like be saved, but it can also severely damage Wang Yun's deployment, break his serial plan, and prevent him from ascending to the top. power, thereby avoiding the ensuing rebellion between Li Jue and Guo Si, and not only saved Wang Yun himself, but also saved the life of Wenji's father, Cai Yong. This is called a plan to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
As for Dong Zhuo, let him be free for a few more days. Once the main force of Zhao Yun's Qinglong Army escapes from Hanzhong and surprises the outside of Chang'an, it will be the day when Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji's Xiliang and Bingzhou coalition forces are defeated. Cooperate with other Dong-challenging troops to annihilate Dong Zhuo justifiably. When the time comes, he rides on the flying dragon and takes action with his gentian silver spear. He may not be able to defeat Lu Bu with his red rabbit horse and Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Besides, without Wang Yun and Diao Chan's serial plan, there might be other clever plans to defeat Dong without having to go to war. For example, instigating rebellion against Jia Xu. Jia Wenhe has always been a smart man. If he clearly sees that Dong Zhuo's doom is right in front of him, who knows that he will not turn to me, Chen Long? He has repeatedly buried the flaws he saw in Chen Long in his heart, which is probably proof that he has a way out.
After Dong Zhuo was exterminated, he took Emperor Han Shao and Queen He back to Luoyang, demoted Emperor Xian of Han, and removed all obstacles from the royalists, especially the Wang Yun group. Maybe he could establish a prototype of a political consultative conference and complete the task of evading imperial power in advance. .
Then, when the emperor is in my hand and I have the strength, I will beat anyone in the world who disobeys me until I dominate the world. Then, with light corvee and low taxes, the people live in peace, and I lead a few beloved women to live in seclusion in the countryside, wouldn’t it be wonderful? Thinking of this, Chen Long laughed, as if he had seen the happy lives of Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, and Diao Chan. This world would no longer be their miserable world.
Chen Long felt confident again and called the guard at the door: "Get a greeting card, I will visit Wang Yun's residence tomorrow!"
Speaking of Dong Zhuo, after returning home, he remembered that he had given his concubine Wen Ying to Yan Baihu, and he couldn't help but regret it. Moreover, Wen Ying was in Dong Zhuo's arms, crying and unwilling to leave. Dong Zhuo was upset for a while and became confused. He didn't send it, but he helped Chen Long solve a problem. Otherwise, Wen Ying would be sent to Chen Long, and if Chen Long locked Wen Ying away in a high cabinet and behaved like a gentleman, I am afraid Dong Zhuo would immediately suspect that Yan Baihu had another agenda.
After Dong Zhuo comforted Wen Ying, he said to his younger brother Dong Min: "How about secretly transporting the wealth taken out of Luoyang outside the city?" Dong Min said: "Brother, don't worry, there are countless palace treasures, plus the treasures in the mausoleum, plus The treasures collected by the people are enough for us to raise tens of thousands of cavalry." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said: "Brother Min, don't you hear that when you succeed, you will become an emperor, and if you don't succeed, you will become a rich man? Only with the wealth of Luoyang can we advance and retreat. freely."
At this time, Li Ru and Jia Xu were waiting outside. Dong Zhuo ordered Dong Min to invite them in and asked: "Today's poetry meeting, what do you think of Yan Baihu?"
Li Ru snorted and said: "People who are looking for fame and reputation. Why should the Grand Master take such a small local military attaché to heart?" Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.
Dong Zhuo said: "I think he is somewhat capable. Everything is uncertain now, and it is the time to hire people. It would be good to have one more person to help me. But Wenyou, I need to put a few more people under surveillance in his mansion. If not Question, it won’t be too late for me to reuse him.” Li Ru nodded in agreement, and then said: “Recently I heard that someone has formed a secret alliance with the intention of opposing the Grand Master. I am still sending people to find out the details. There are several people in the capital who have always been with me. If there is any disharmony between the Grand Masters, I have sent people to monitor them."
Dong Zhuo's fat face twitched a few times and said: "Intensify the investigation. I see that Yang Xun is always contradicting me in the court recently, so let's start with him."
After thinking about it, he asked Jia Xu again: "Wen He, it's difficult to leave Chang'an for a while, what should be the next step?"
Jia Xu said: "The fortified city of Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but we must take it, otherwise there will be no way out. Chang'an only has Chen Long with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. I heard that there were also encounters on the way to Luoyang. In a sneak attack, I am afraid that less than 10,000 people will be stationed in Chang'an. On the one hand, the Grand Master only needs to order Hua Xiong and others to attack with all their strength, and on the other hand, pay attention to the movements of the Lingling Qinglong Army and consolidate Luoyang's defense."
Dong Zhuo's gloomy fat face showed an expression of extreme disgust and said: "If Chen Long hadn't kidnapped the young emperor and the empress dowager, I would have controlled the officials long ago. Send my order to attack Chang'an with all our strength, don't let them go. Chen Long. If I catch Chen Long, I will make him worse than death."
Lu Bu, who was behind Dong Zhuo, heard Chen Long's name, and his halberd slightly hit the ground, as if Chen Long was the soul of the dead under his halberd.
