Chapter 37: The Dagger Revealed
Li Ru left Sishui Pass satisfied.
While walking on the way to Chang'an, he recalled Hua Xiong's reaction after he heard that he had dispatched the unknown Gao Shun and two thousand northern troops to him. He was still very happy.
I feel that I did a great job this time. Not only did I defeat Hua Xiong, but I also stabilized him...
The situation is different now. No matter who it is, if it is not conducive to the overall situation, it must be punished...
He thought about it for a while and quickly put the matter out of his mind.
I started to think about how to split up Bingzhou's troops and move the capital after returning to Luoyang...
"Commander, I am sorry for causing you trouble because of Yu Jin. You have paid too much to save Yu Jin..."
Inside Sishui Pass, Yu Jin came to Hua Xiong, looked at him with some guilt and said.
Yu Jin is by Hua Xiong's side today.
When Li Ru came here, he heard everything that was said.
He clearly knew how much Hua Xiong paid to protect himself.
Although it was because of the words Li Su shouted before his death, Governor Hua's insistence on protecting himself was also a big reason.
In order to protect himself, General Hua had offended Lu Bu before, which led to the replacement of Xu Rong, whom General Hua wanted, with Gao Shun.
Although we don't know what kind of person Gao Shun is, just from the fact that Li Ru and others used this matter to threaten Governor Hua, and from Governor Hua's reaction after hearing what Li Ru said, we can tell that he must be an incompetent person.
Before Hua Xiong recovered from the joy of Li Ru's "hitting" him, he heard these words again.
Looking at Yu Jin, who seemed very ashamed and extremely moved, Hua Xiong didn't know how to express his feelings for a moment.
If this is what a beating is, then let it happen a few more times, more violently!
“It’s easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it’s hard to get a general. I think it’s worth it to get Wen Ze.
You don’t have to think too much about the text.”
Hua Xiong tried to calm himself and said this while looking at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin was here again. He spoke a few words to Hua Xiong before bidding farewell to him and leaving.
"Hahaha……"
After Yu Jin left, Hua Xiong, who had always appeared to be a fierce general, suddenly grinned.
He has none of the demeanor of a brave general.
He had been holding it in for a long time and now he could finally laugh.
Of course, the laughter was not loud, so he tried to suppress it intentionally.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are really good people...
Hua Xiong couldn't help but give them both a "nice guy" card...
In Luoyang, the captain Wu Qiong came to Dong Zhuo and met him.
"... Prime Minister, things are different now than before. You need to consider many things...
At this time, the bandits in Guandong were rampant... Troops and horses were the most important. Although the troops and horses of Bingzhou had been under the control of the prime minister, Lu Bu's rule over the troops and horses of Bingzhou was still too absolute and had too great an influence on them.
I think you need to divide it up..."
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Indeed, this is a good idea for the country."
Hearing Dong Zhuo say this, Wu Qiong was delighted, as the matter was at least 30% settled.
Then he started to make some suggestions to Dong Zhuo, all of which were reasonable.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had listened to him and seemed to be in a good mood, Wu Qiong also felt better.
At this point, things were basically 70% done.
But it can only be 70%.
No matter how confident he is, he still doesn't have it.
"Prime Minister, Governor Hua also needs to make some adjustments... The most important thing is the enemy general Yu Jin.
Governor Hua admired Yu Jin's bravery, but Yu Jin was an enemy general after all, and he had also killed Wen Yan, so there were many disputes.
The Prime Minister is going to split up the Bingzhou troops next, and the soldiers and generals in Bingzhou will definitely feel dissatisfied.
If Yu Jin, who killed Wen Yan, was allowed to stay with Governor Hua at this time, I'm afraid it would be even worse...
Moreover, Yu Jin was an enemy general. Governor Hua personally beheaded his former master Bao Xin. Sishui Pass was an important place. If he stayed there, what if he had any bad intentions? I'm afraid...
The matter is too serious, so it is better to be cautious...
It would be better to transfer him away from Governor Hua, whether to Luoyang or to other places.
If the Prime Minister is worried that Governor Hua will be unhappy about this, he can also promote Yu Jin to a higher position..."
The real purpose is revealed.
Wu Qiong looked at Dong Zhuo and said these words very sincerely .
The real purpose of his remarks was to create conflict.
He wanted to create a rift between Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong .
At the same time, I also hope that the gap between Hua Xiong and Lu Bu will become deeper.
Now that Yu Jin had left Hua Xiong, it would have been even better if Lu Bu could get excited and kill him.
If Hua Xiong hadn't stopped him, Lu Bu would have really wanted to kill Yu Jin, and Yu Jin would have definitely died.
Why was Dong Zhuo able to occupy Luoyang at this time?
The most important thing is to have a strong army.
It is difficult to defeat Yuan Benchu and others by attacking from the outside, so we should just disintegrate them from the inside.
If we can create mutual suspicion and conflicts between them, it might produce unexpected results.
The aftereffects of Li Su's death and the words he shouted have not yet faded . Taking advantage of this opportunity to do something, the possibility of success is still very high.
He was 70% sure that he could make Dong Zhuo follow his advice and get Yu Jin away from Hua Xiong.
It is said that Hua Xiong shouted that if anyone wanted to kill Yu Jin, they should kill him first.
If Dong Zhuo were to move against Yu Jin at this time, even if Hua Xiong didn't dare to say anything, he would definitely feel unhappy in his heart, and he could plant some things...
Even if Dong Zhuo disagreed with this matter, Wu Qiong was absolutely sure that he could get out of it safely without getting himself involved.
While he was thinking about this, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top, also fell into deep thought...
