Regarding the current situation, although Yang Ci had the idea of making trouble, the leaders of the Jinwen School discussed it and felt that they could not really watch the Han army be defeated and the Yellow Turban Army threaten Luoyang.
If they really want to make things dirty, General He Jin will be the first to fight them without telling others.
This is a battle to establish his power. Whether he can secure his position as general depends on this battle. If he messes up his reputation, he will not have to fight hard.
Even if He Jin doesn't care, then Zhang Rang behind He Jin is easy to mess with?
Zhang Rang would never let them get a good deal if they messed up He Jin's job.
At that time, the eunuchs and the ancient literature school will join forces again for a mixed doubles match. The last time almost killed the modern literature school, but everyone is not ready yet, so don't bother.
The leader of the Longkanghuan family, Yilang Huandian, tried hard to persuade Yang Ci to endure the situation for a while. At this moment, it was not the time to cause trouble.
Yang Ci silently looked at Huan Dian who was talking eloquently, with something unpredictable in his eyes.
He knew that Huandian, in a strict sense, belonged to the Yuan family, because he was summoned to serve as an official by Yuan Wei, who was Situ at the time.
However, the Longkang Huan family itself is also the inheritance family of "Ouyang Shangshu". Huan Dian himself also taught disciples in Yingchuan. He has hundreds of disciples and is quite famous. The strong family capital makes it impossible for the Huan family to follow the Yuan family step by step. The family is going to do something great.
When Yuan Wei led the Yuan family to rebel, not to mention the Yuan family itself, there were several clansmen who were dissatisfied with Yuan Wei, openly opposed Yuan Wei, and wanted to establish another sect. Most of the Yuan family's disciples and former officials were a bit of a modernist school. Everyone who trades has had doubts and worries, wondering whether it is time to jump ship and stop losses.
The Jinwen School's strong political foundation is there, and this cannot be truly covered by a few simple sentences about what can be replaced.
Therefore, as vested interests, Yuan's huge group of disciples and former officials will also feel entangled.
Originally, a disciple and an old official should not betray their mentor and master of the palace, but Yuan Wei became a second-in-command and stabbed the Jinwen School's family in the back.
According to the concept of etiquette emphasized by Jinwen School, if the venerable himself does something wrong, he is not qualified to blame his subordinates for not doing enough.
Yuan himself did not do well as a role model, so it is not surprising that the group of disciples, former officials, and subordinates naturally followed his example.
The Huan family itself is a family with a classic inheritance, but it is not as prosperous as the Yuan family. The reason for embracing the Yuan family was originally to seek a prosperous official career. Now that you, the Yuan family, are making people angry, how can I follow your path? Walking to the dark side?
So when Yang Ci extended an olive branch to Huan Dian, Huan Dian hesitated a little, then decisively left the embrace of the Yuan family and formally joined the Yang family, and soon received Yang Ci's help and became Yilang .
Huan Dian, who did not want to leave the family of Jinwen School, naturally had to fight for the interests of the school. However, at present, he opposed Yang Ci's suggestion of causing trouble. Although it was reasonable, it also made Yang Ci feel unhappy.
"Are you just watching them make great achievements? Doing nothing?"
Yang Ci looked unhappy.
Huan Dian saw that Yang Ci's mood was wrong and quickly made amends.
"Lu Zhi can be defeated, but the Han army cannot be defeated. You can do something to Lu Zhi, and it is not impossible to promote a change of commanders, but you must not do anything to the Han army, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable, Mr. Yang!"
Huan Dian had a bitter look on his face. He really didn't want to cause any trouble at the stall he had just jumped over.
Yang Ci snorted coldly and remained silent.
At this time, Lu Zhi, who had led his army to attack the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, did not know what was happening in Luoyang, and neither did Liu Bei, who was traveling with him.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care much - it doesn't matter, He Jin and Zhang Rang will take action.
Liu Bei focused all his attention on Dong Zhuo, who had just joined the army and marched together.
History is a very wonderful thing. Liu Bei has indeed leveraged it, but some interesting changes are also constantly happening.
Such as Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo, who originally followed the Yuan family and belonged to the modern literature school, also followed the Yuan family and entered the field of the ancient literature school. After being recommended by Yuan Wei, he was able to join Lu Zhi's army and serve as Lu Zhi's deputy. His position was to ask for help. The thief captain.
After meeting Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo's attitude was in one word - enthusiasm.
It seems that he got some advice from Yuan Wei. Dong Zhuo treated Lu Zhi and Liu Bei with great enthusiasm and friendly attitude. He entertained Lu Zhi and Liu Bei for dinner and drinks for several days, as if he treated them as half-fathers. The appearance of half-brothers.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Putting aside the status of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei in the ancient literature school, simply saying that both of them were background warriors may be a natural plus for Dong Zhuo.
Liangzhou people are second-class citizens, and people from Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhi and other places are almost like 1.5-class citizens in the eyes of Central Plains scholars. Anyway, they naturally feel that they are inferior to them, and regional cannons are fired. That's a loud call.
This attitude, of course, forces the border people to stick together for warmth.
Dong Zhuo may have felt that there was a good chance of building a good relationship with Lu Zhi and Liu Bei because of this. Maybe he could go one step further and achieve some goal worth pursuing.
And to be honest, Liu Bei always felt that Dong Zhuo looked at him more eagerly than he looked at Lu Zhi.
What's the meaning?
But in Liu Bei's opinion, Dong Zhuo's appearance is really that standard of a traditional military commander.
He is big-chested and round-waisted, with a serious and muscular appearance. His appearance can't really be called ugly. Of course, it would be a bit too forced to say that he has a good-looking appearance.
He was wearing armor and fully armed and riding on a tall horse. When he was galloping, he looked quite muscular and intimidating.
That's really fierce.
Compared with him, Liu Bei felt that Zhang Fei, the representative of the rough guys around him, was considered gentle and gentle.
It would definitely not be pleasant for such a person to get close to Liu Bei anyway, but thinking of Yuan Wei behind him, Liu Bei was not willing to offend Yuan Wei for this, so he tried his best to chat and laugh with Dong Zhuo.
This conversation didn't matter, it really made Dong Zhuo think he had found a fellow traveler, so he showed his talkative nature.
"Although I was in Hedong County at that time, I also heard about Xuande's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars. I really admired him so much!"
"I heard that Xuande fought one against nine and refuted Jin Wen's group of shameless people into silence. It's so satisfying!"
"Those scholars have high eyes and do not pay attention to me and other people from the border areas. Every time I think of them, I feel hatred!"
"Xuan De's words are really refreshing! It's refreshing!"
Dong Zhuo couldn't stop talking for a minute, and he didn't know where this guy found so many topics. The word "silent" didn't exist for him.
It is said that he is good at communicating with Qiang people and is quite prestigious among some Qiang tribes in Liangzhou. I think his ability to talk a lot was also developed during that process.
For a while, Liu Bei even felt that this guy was not here to fight, but just to socialize. Anyway, Liu Bei's cronies were very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.
They think that people like us who have known Liu Bei for a long time have not had time to communicate with Liu Bei, and you, a rough guy, stepped in and forced Liu Bei to talk in front of us. What do you mean?
So they were quite dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo.
The rest of them were far away from Liu Bei, so it was difficult to say anything. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both old men who followed Liu Bei. They caught Liu Bei when they were camping at night to rest, and they were full of complaints about Dong Zhuo.
Liu Bei had no choice. He didn't want to offend Yuan Wei, so he had to be patient with Dong Zhuo. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had a good emotional intelligence. He seemed to have noticed the dissatisfaction and resistance of Liu Bei's subordinates towards him, so he slightly adjusted his enthusiasm so that it didn't look so good. Enthusiasm is burning.
By the way, when entertaining Liu Bei's master and apprentice, he would also entertain his subordinates. They were not allowed to drink during the march, so they would entertain them with good meat and delicious food, so everyone's complaints were not as prominent as before.
Apart from anything else, Dong Zhuo was pretty good at communicating with people.
