Chapter 226 Take In Li Ru And Give Dong Bai To The King
No wonder the king once said that Fatty Cheng was not good at fighting at this time and had so many clever ideas. He only thought about how to please and how to get promoted and make a fortune.
Now, in order to gain the king's trust, even honey traps are used.
"Are you sure that your boy is a person intercepted from the Xiliang army, not a beautiful woman you robbed from nearby houses?"
Yao Guangxiao didn't know that there were still women hiding in the Xiliang army.
Even if this woman was not snatched back by Cheng Yaojin, she was most likely plundered by the Xiliang army.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, Lao Cheng knows the rules of the Jin army best. I, Lao Cheng, was the one who was forcibly robbed from the Xiliang army."
"That woman is really pretty. Even if His Highness Prince Jin sees her, he will definitely like her."
Cheng Yaojin said and quickly opened the carriage door.
As the car door handle opened, a beautiful-looking woman with fair skin walked out.
Yao Guangxiao took a casual look at her and found that the woman was about ten years old and quite good-looking.
It's a pity that he is a thief monk and a black monk, not a flower monk. His beauty is not attractive at all to Yao Guangxiao.
"You are the Jin army, are you here to fight Wang Yun and seize Chang'an?"
The woman frowned and looked at 510 Guangxiao up and down.
"Amitabha, this poor monk is Yao Guangxiao, the Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom. On the order of my king, I came to kill the traitor Wang Yun. I don't know who the girl is and what relationship she has with the Xiliang army."
"My name is Dong Bai, and my grandfather is Dong Zhuo."
"What? Dong Bai, are you Dong Zhuo's grandson?"
Hearing this, even Yao Guangxiao, who was always calm, was a little surprised when he learned that the other party was actually Dong Zhuo's granddaughter.
"You are going to deal with Wang Yun. Then Wang Yun killed my grandfather Dong Zhuo. I will definitely seek revenge on him.
"Take me with you. I'm willing to help you deal with Wang Yun." Bai spoke again.
On that day, Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and the Flying Bear Army led by Li Ru was also defeated by Lu Bu.
Without any choice. He had no choice but to take Dong Bai and leave Chang'an.
The group of people has been wandering around Yongliang area, just looking for opportunities to summon Dong Zhuo's old troops to deal with Wang Yun and kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu to avenge Dong Zhuo.
By coincidence, Cheng Yaojin, who was recovering from his injuries in the rear, accidentally caught Dong Bai who was alone, and took him as a member of the Xiliang Army and forcibly brought him over.
Under the leadership of Dong Bai, Dong Zhuo's number one military advisor Li Ru also appeared in front of Yao Guangxiao with a group of Flying Bear Army soldiers.
"Our army's attack on Chang'an this time is indeed to kill Wang Yun, but it is not to avenge Dong Zhuo's blood.
After hearing Dong Bai's narrative and plea, Yao Guangxiao directly raised the banner of justice.
As the saying goes, a division has a reputation, and the Jin army's attack on Chang'an, whether it was based on the emperor's order to attack Wang Yun, or in the name of the Qing emperor, was completely justified.
Dong Zhuo's reputation has long been ruined, and the people near Chang'an and Luoyang hate Dong Zhuo to the core.
If they use the banner of revenge for Dong Zhuo, they will cause trouble for themselves and lose the support of the people.
"But my grandfather's great hatred..."
Dong Bai wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Li Ru next to him.
Li Ru had already seen that Dong Zhuo was dead and no one in the world would avenge Dong Zhuo.
Recognizing the situation clearly, he directly handed over his hand and said: "Of course I know that the Jin army sent troops to defeat the traitor Wang Yun on behalf of the people of the world."
"If the Prime Minister does not dislike it and is willing to lead his troops to surrender to the Jin army, he can also recruit the old Xiliang tribe for the Jin army, seize Chang'an for the Jin army, and kill Wang Yunlue with all his meager experience.
"this.....…"
Li Ru planned to surrender, which was beyond Yao Guangxiao's expectation.
As Dong Zhuo's number one military advisor, Li Ru helped Dong Zhuo grow from a small warlord to control the land of Yongliang, have hundreds of thousands of troops, and control the emperor to command the princes (bfbd) the number one prince in the world, indeed he has his own merits .
However, when Dong Zhuo fled westward, Li Ru suggested burning Luoyang and moving the people of Luoyang to Chang'an.
This kind of strategy can be described as extremely vicious, and it has already lost the hearts of people around Luoyang.
I don't know if it would be good or bad for the Jin army to keep him.
Of course, by keeping Dong Zhuo and Dong Bai, Dong Zhuo's remaining influence can naturally be used to influence the generation of Xiliang soldiers guarding Chang'an.
Even if these people cannot be made to surrender, their military morale can be shaken, which will make it easier for the Jin army to capture Chang'an.
In just a moment, Yao Guangxiao had already analyzed the pros and cons of accepting Li Ru.
In troubled times, what is needed is not hypocritical kindness, but a way to quickly calm the world.
Even if I am misunderstood, as long as I can help the king quickly pacify the world, there is no difficulty in taking the blame.
After thinking again and again, Yao Guangxiao nodded and agreed: "The Prime Minister agrees to take you in, so you will temporarily stay in the Prime Minister's army and write a document for the Prime Minister."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for taking me in."
Li Ru thanked him profusely, and then turned his attention to Dong Bai next to him.
"In a battle on the battlefield, swords have no eyes. My young lady is just a weak woman. If we go with her to Chang'an, she will be inconvenienced at home.
"I wonder if the Prime Minister can agree to take my young lady to the rear of Jinyang."
Yao Guangxiao knew exactly what Li Ru was thinking and didn't bother to point it out.
The corner of his mouth raised and he said: "In that case, I will write a letter and send personal soldiers to escort your young lady to Jinyang to meet my king."
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your support. I would like to thank you again, Prime Minister."
After Yao Guangxiao agreed, Li Ru smiled and thanked him again.
Talking to smart people means saving a lot of energy.
The purpose of both parties was well understood, and they both looked at each other and laughed.
Yao Guangxiao immediately wrote a letter in person, recording in detail that the Jin army had defeated Lu Bu, captured Hangu Pass, and surrendered Xu Rong.
Then he ordered a group of soldiers to carry the letter and rush to Jinyang with Dong Bai.
After explaining everything, the Jin army quickly reorganized their troops.
During this Western Expedition, Yao Guangxiao led a total of more than 60,000 infantry and cavalry troops. In a battle with Lu Bu, he lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
However, after surrendering Lu Bu's troops, seizing Hangu Pass and surrendering Xu Rong and other Xiliang soldiers, and Li Ru leading a thousand flying bear troops to surrender, Yao Guangxiao directly gathered nearly 30,000 surrendered troops and surrendered all the troops he could mobilize. There are eighty thousand horses. .
