Chapter 279: Planned Assassination


Having made up his mind, Xun You actually had no intention of discussing the matter with these scholars.

But he couldn't withdraw.

He could only pretend to be thinking hard and listen to these people continue to talk.

Everyone didn't know what Xun You was thinking at this time, but they heard Xun You's evaluation of Ma Chao.

The topic of discussion gradually moved closer to Ma Chao.

"Ignoring the character of this son, let's talk about Ma Chao's literary talents, but he is also worthy of his attention.

His poem "Serve the Country" seems to have fulfilled his lifelong wish."

After talking for a long time, everyone still did not dare to rashly conclude whether Ma Chao was loyal or traitorous.

From this, scholar Sun Rui talked about Ma Chao in terms of talent and learning.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao started "Jian'an Literature", quatrains began to become popular.

But at this time, it has not been recognized, not to mention that Ma Chao is still a seven-character quatrain.

Confucian classics were popular at this time.

Ma Chao, as a martial artist, could write good calligraphy and verse, which was considered a great thing in the world.

However, in front of these scholars who were well-read in classics, Ma Chao was only considered a passing level.

Therefore, scholars Sun Rui did not promote Ma Chao's talents very highly.

At this time, what the scholars admired were those who were as quick-thinking as Kong Rong, as clear-minded as Li Ying, as brilliant as Cai Yong, and as erudite as Lu Zhi; but Ma Chao had none of these.

In the eyes of these people, Ma Chao was still a vulgar warrior.

The only thing better than Dong Zhuo was that he had some talent.

Of course, his characteristics of alertness, adaptability and boldness were also appreciated by a few scholars, such as Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Fazheng, Li Ru and other poor scholars, and now Xun You, who lost confidence in the Eastern Han Dynasty regime and believed that the world The scholars will be in chaos.

"It is better to wait until I have personally contacted Ma Chao before I can make a conclusion.

After all, what Gongda said does make some sense.

This matter needs to be dealt with cautiously and slowly."

After talking back and forth, it seemed that there was some deviation from today's theme. , Wang Yun came to a conclusion on the matter.

Start changing the topic.

Speaking of plotting against Dong Zhuo: "The thief Dong is becoming more and more crazy now.

He actually cooked hundreds of virtuous people to death and used them to make fun of him.

If he doesn't kill this thief, it will be intolerable for heaven and man."

"What Situ said, he wanted to assassinate."

Sun Rui, the scholar, was considered to have a more flexible mind among these scholars.

He could hear a hint of it from Wang Yun's tone.

Everyone took in a breath of cold air, seemingly unwilling to accept this decision but helpless.

Even Xun You's expression gradually became serious.

Generally speaking, the general realm of political struggle.

They are all misleading.

Even if you have the trump cards I have in your hand, I will also pinch your weaknesses.

When everyone is free, they can move each other in places that don't hurt and let the emperor in the middle act as the arbiter.

In this way, the three conveniences can live in peace and harmony.

Dong Zhuo didn't play according to the routine at all, or in other words, he was not very smart in the eyes of these scholars.

In the eyes of these scholars, Dong Zhuo should leave some room for maneuver in his actions.

When dealing with the issues of the heroes of Guandong and the imperial power, we should not do things this way, so that they, the Chang'an scholars, who were caught in the middle, would end up hurting both sides when everyone got into a stalemate.

Yes, Dong Zhuo didn't do that.

Or rather.

Li Ru did not follow this fixed path of political struggle.

In the eyes of these scholars, Li Ru was a little smart, but also a little stupid.

A little smarter than a really stupid person, but a little stupider than a really smart person.

He obviously has a second-rate IQ, but he makes serious mistakes on key issues.

He didn't understand at all that politics was a game of compromise.

He saw through the elaborate schemes of his people, and even made Dong Zhuo move the capital to avoid future troubles.

This approach left no room for scholars like Chang'an, and put the scholars of Chang'an and Dong Zhuo was driven to a dead end Now, Dong Zhuohuo brutally retaliated against the scholars, but these scholars did not have Dong Zhuo's weakness at all, forcing them to choose to assassinate him.

Although assassination has been the most despised method since ancient times, it is also the worst method of all political struggles.

In normal times, these scholars, who have always understood righteousness and were deeply influenced by Confucianism, would sneer at this method, but now, they have to use it because, in his view, this is a war started by Dong Zhuo What's more, they had plotted to assassinate Dong Yi before, and now they had no shame in assassinating Dong Zhuo.

Naturally, this is actually the sorrow of these scholars.

Because these scholars had no power to resist at all, they had to make this most helpless choice.

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Even Xun You sighed: If Ma Chao can be recruited as foreign aid in a short period of time, the scholars will indeed be able to compete with Dong Zhuo.

But the problem is, Ma Chao is not a fool, and these scholars actually look down on Ma Chao's original plan to let the Ma family fight with the Dong family.

They are happy, but when they really rely on others, it is so difficult.

Therefore, these people's nature of being high-minded and low-handed led them to choose to kill Dong Zhuo directly, resulting in Dong Zhuo's group being leaderless, and finally dividing and dissolving the power of Dong Zhuo's subordinates.

Perhaps, this can also realize the dream of scholars.

Of course, this road is very dangerous.

If you are not careful when conquering Dong Zhuo's forces in the middle, it may cause a mutiny.

Then Chang'an will fall into a sea of ​​fire and be destroyed.

"Lord Situ, this plan is something that some people have in mind.

Even if the assassination of Dong Zhuo is successful, in addition to the three thousand soldiers under the Sili Colonel Huang and the thousand cavalry under the Protector Qiang Colonel, we will have the generals in our hands.

Qu, he can gather at most six to seven thousand troops and horses.

With such strength, how can he stabilize the situation in Chang'an?"

"I've been planning this for a long time.

You don't know, but besides Ma Chao, the General of Zhenxi, there is another person who is also dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo."

Wang Yun smiled.

At this time, he smiled like an old fox who has been stealing chickens. .

"The Han Dynasty has no generals.

Lu Shangshu died of illness the month before last; Huangfu Song accepted Dong Zhuo's false edict and handed over his military power to Dong's thieves; while Lord Zhu Jun is still raising troops in Zhongmu to resist, but the situation does not seem to be good either."

Shi Sunrui said , thinking that Wang Yun had a deep meaning, but suddenly guessed: "Could it be Dong Zhuo's men?"

"Of course."

Wang Yun clapped his hands and laughed.

This scholar Sun Rui is indeed very clever.

"Could it be Xu Rong who was loyal to his duty?"

Huang Wan guessed.

In his opinion, only a general like Xu Rong who was iron-blooded and upright was worthy of the great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty.

In fact, it’s no wonder these people think so.

Because most of Dong Zhuo's old troops were generals from Liangzhou; but the general Xu Rong was an exception.

He was from Liaodong and was a loyal and brave man.

Although he defeated Cao Cao in Xingyang and defeated Sun Jian in Luoyang, he was only following orders.

From this, we can also see his outstanding military talents.

Everyone felt that if this person could submit to the scholars, he would have great potential.

Wang Yun lowered his head and said with some embarrassment: "Xu Rong is loyal to his duties and I am afraid it will be difficult to shake him.

If the big thing has been accomplished, Xu Rong will naturally bow his head and obey orders.

However, if he is asked to betray the Dong thief, I have a bad intention. ” When Shi Sunrui heard this, he asked urgently: "Who is Master Situ talking about?"

"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian" "How can such rough people, who are repeatedly cunning and treacherous, have their hearts set on someone?"

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, and seemed to be resentful of Wang Yun's answer.

But Xun You smiled secretly in his heart: Wang Yun, Wang Yun, the reason is because you don't see the importance of Ma Chao, so you don't use Ma Chao.

Now it seems that I have wronged you.

You were afraid that you couldn't defeat Ma Chao, so you retreated and chose Lu Bu, right?

Xun You already had the intention of leaving in his heart, so he followed the trend and said on Wang Yun's behalf: "Although Lu Bu has bad character, he is the easiest target to appease someone.

He has 30,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry in his hand.

If used properly, he will be shocked again."

If the 20,000 flying bear troops in Xu Rong's hands are suppressed, Chang'an will be stable and great things will be accomplished."

Everyone still wanted to refute, but they had already ruled out Ma Chao and could not expect Xu Rong.

What's more, Wang Yun chose Lu Bu, so they had no reason to refute.

So, everyone had no choice but to agree and began to curse Dong Zhuo for being immoral and cruel.

Only Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, had a stern look in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of determination
