Chapter 163
"Meng De, Meng De, you are wrong. You haven't even seen Dong Zhuo, how can you make such a conclusion?" Yuan Shao began to refute on the spot.
Cao Cao said anxiously: "Although I have never seen Dong Zhuo, I heard that he has his own troops in Xiliang and does not listen to the orders of the court. How can such a person easily let the wolf into the house?"
Yuan Shao sneered: "Humph, Meng De, you are jealous of Dong Zhuo's talent, right? He has made many military exploits in Xiliang and is famous. Isn't he more suitable to be a foreign aid than you?"
Cao Cao's face changed, and he said angrily: "Yuan Shao, don't slander me! I, Cao Cao, am devoted to the country, how can I be jealous of others? It's just that Dong Zhuo is not upright. If he is allowed to enter the capital, there will be chaos!"
Yuan Shao fought back without showing weakness: "Cao Cao, don't be alarmist! Dong Zhuo is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. He will definitely help the general to eradicate the eunuch party and revive the government!"
He Jin watched the two people arguing and hesitated.
He wanted to use Dong Zhuo's power to get rid of the eunuch party, but he was also worried that Dong Zhuo would lose control after entering the capital.
For a time, He Jin was once again in a dilemma.
And Shi A in the dark laughed in his heart, he knew very well that the eunuch party also sent people to invite Dong Zhuo.
If He Jin also decided to invite Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, he would not encounter any obstacles along the way.
In the end, whether Dong Zhuo supported the eunuch party or He Jin, it all depended on Dong Zhuo's mood. Once He Jin also invited He Jin, it would definitely be a bad move.
"General!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at He Jin at the same time. Now it was useless for them to argue loudly. They could only wait for He Jin to make the decision.
However, He Jin himself was also confused at this moment, and he had no idea what action he should take next.
His eyes involuntarily cast on his chief clerk Chen Lin, expecting to get some advice and guidance from him.
Chen Lin felt He Jin's gaze. He knew that he had to stand up and express his opinion, but his heart was full of helplessness and contradiction.
At this time, Yuan Shao cast a meaningful look at him, which made Chen Lin realize that his position had changed.
Although he did not agree with inviting outsiders to Luoyang in his heart, he had secretly surrendered to Yuan Shao and could only stand on Yuan Shao's side.
Chen Lin took a deep breath and stood up and said, "General, I think Dong Zhuo is definitely a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a person close to the general, so we can invite Dong Zhuo to Luoyang." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he believed in his point of view.
However, Cao Cao could no longer suppress his anger after hearing this.
As a man of insight, he knew that Dong Zhuo was not a good person, and such a decision would bring great disaster to the Han Dynasty.
Just as Cao Cao was about to attack, Yuan Shao held him tightly to prevent Chen Lin from suffering physical pain.
After listening to Chen Lin's words, He Jin nodded slightly to show his approval.
In his opinion, since most people support inviting Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, it means that this decision is not wrong.
He believes in the wisdom and judgment of the people, and hopes that inviting Dong Zhuo to Luoyang can solve the current crisis.
Cao Cao left the General's Mansion with a look of gloom on his face. Seeing this, Yuan Shao sighed and chased after him, and began to comfort his good friend Cao Cao.
Just when He Jin sent an envoy to invite Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo had already accepted Zhang Rang's invitation and set off with his Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
.......
Bingzhou Taiyuan County.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, this is the latest information. Jia did not expect that He Jin and Zhang Rang would invite Dong Zhuo to Beijing at the same time. I really don't know what kind of magic potion Dong Zhuo gave them?"
Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao both laughed. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened, which is really hilarious.
"Haha, no matter what, it's a good thing for us."
"Liu Hong has been killed by Zhang Rang. Although the news has not been spread yet, we can spread the news first. By then, He Jin and Zhang Rang will be extremely anxious."
"There is no need for Dong Zhuo to come to the capital to make a decision. They will go to war immediately. At that time, Luoyang will fall into chaos, and our opportunity will also come!"
Zhang Fu has already determined the next action plan. As long as Luoyang falls into chaos, it will be their perfect opportunity.
Although the number of civil officials is still insufficient, the opportunity has come, so we should make arrangements in advance.
When the time is right, seize Jizhou and Qingzhou in one fell swoop and completely occupy Hebei.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "In fact, when Luoyang is in chaos, we can send troops to occupy Jizhou and Qingzhou!"
His voice was full of confidence and determination, as if everything was already in his control. After hearing this, everyone noddedHe agreed, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Yao Guangxiao went on to say: "As for the problem of civil officials, we can continue to use the old method and use those children of noble families to temporarily fill the position. After the work of the academy is completed, we can replace them one by one."
His words made everyone's eyes light up. This method not only solved the current urgent need, but also left room for future development.
Yao Guangxiao paused and continued: "During their duty, we only need to arrange local bad people to watch them to prevent them from taking bribes, perverting the law and oppressing the people!"
He swept his eyes over everyone, revealing a hint of majesty.
Everyone agreed, and they admired Yao Guangxiao's wisdom and strategy.
As a master of dragon-slaying skills, Yao Guangxiao naturally hoped that the lord would start as soon as possible.
Anyway, with his ability, Yao Guangxiao could make this matter perfect no matter when he started.
Guo Jia and Jia Xu looked at each other. They didn't say anything, but their eyes showed a tacit understanding.
They knew that the decision of the lord was the most important, and they would fully support the decision of the lord.
Whether now or in the future, as long as the lord needs it, they will stand up without hesitation, give advice to the lord, and jointly create a brilliant future.
"Lord, instead of waiting for two or three years, it is better to act directly now. Anyway, it is the same. Even if those noble families are dissatisfied, they dare not jump!"
When Yao Guangxiao spoke, he also glanced at Huang Chao. Yao Guangxiao was very clear about Huang Chao's ability.
As long as Huang Chao was there, those noble families would be useless even if they united. Every strategy of Huang Chao could destroy the noble families.
"Well, I didn't want to continue to govern the place with the old way, but if the opportunity really came, I must seize it!"
Zhang Fu thought for a while and finally decided to agree. It was also a good thing to occupy Hebei and start development earlier.
