Chapter 318 Lantai Classics(1/2)
The first year of Chuping (190 AD), the first day of the second month.
Luoyang.Beigong.Chongde Hall.
After the court meeting ended, Dong Zhuo did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but stayed in Chongde Hall.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's big horse-sword sat in the place where Emperor Xian had sat not long ago, and conspired with several confidant advisers who remained in the hall with expressionless face.
"Has the news that the chief clerk, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu were traveling to Lu County have been spread?"
Dong Zhuo looked at Tian Jing sitting in the golden hall, his deep eyes shrank.
"Don't worry, the news that the imperial court used thousands of carts of classics to fight against the rebellion with the Danyang King was spread not only to the sauna, Hanoi, Luyang, but also to the Lu County."
Tian Jing looked up at Dong Zhuo who was leaning against the dragon chaise, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"And, all forces already know the route of the scriptures."
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"I don't know if Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other children will send troops to fight?"
If it is on the date of promotion, the Lantai classics are also meaningful to Dong Zhuo, but in the current situation, the classics are worthless to Dong Zhuo.
But even so, Dong Zhuo didn't want Tao Ying to easily obtain classics.
"The prime minister needs no doubt. Even if the Lantai classics are worthless, in order to destroy the alliance between the court and Tao Ying, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others will send troops."
Li Ru, who was sitting at Tian Jing's attack, continued Dong Zhuo's words and gave him a reassurance.
"Don't forget the path that Zhang Liao and Jia Xu took, leaving Henan Yin. In the north was occupied by rebel Yuan Shao, and in the east, Cao Cao and other rebels stationed their troops. They would never sit and watch Lantai classics pass by their noses."
The classics of Lantai were regarded as useless by Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were born in four generations and three dukes, regarded as treasures by the powerful people of Yu. The classics are not only related to the foundation of the gentry of the great surname, but also their own political value cannot be underestimated.
"Well, Dr. Li's words are reasonable!"
Dong Zhuo's eyes turned to Li Ru, and his eyebrows stretched out again.
"With Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's children's greed and treacherousness, they will not remain silent!"
As long as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sent troops to stop or seize the Lantai classics, Dong Zhuo's goal will be achieved.
"Hehe, you can win three goals in one go!"
Thinking of this move not only completely pushing Tao Ying to the opposite side of the three coalition forces, but also divert the coalition forces from Luoyang and even plotting against Tao Ying, Dong Zhuo felt relieved.
"The Prime Minister of the State, in order to prevent Tao Ying from being rescued and backfired, he ordered Gai Xun to speed up the marching and secretly protected the classics."
Tian Jing glanced at Li Ru who was secretly proud of him from the corner of his eyes and reminded Dong Zhuo in time.
"Well, send someone to supervise Gai Xun and Huangfu Song!"
Tian Jing's reminder Dong Zhuo was very concerned that Ruolan Taiwan classics were really taken away by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the plan to eliminate the coalition forces with Tao Ying's hands will die.
"The Prime Minister, please let Captain Dong go in person!"
Li Ru glanced at Tian Jing beside him quietly and pushed Dong Cheng out.
Li Ru had an idea to transfer Huangfu Song, Gai Xun from Youfu Feng and Jingzhao Yin, who was holding heavy troops, to withdraw the military power and leave the two in Luoyang. However, for some reason, Tian Jing encouraged Dong Zhuo to lead the troops to secretly support Zhang Liao and Jia Xu.
"Good!"
Dong Zhuo adopted Li Ru's suggestion without hesitation. As Dong Cheng's identity, it is appropriate to urge Gai Xun, Huangfu Song on public terms, or to secretly monitor the two.
"Now Gai Xun and Huangfu Song and his two old men have led their troops to leave Sanfu. You must speed up the move to Chang'an!"
Although he hoped Tao Ying, Dong Zhuo still planned to move the capital and leave a way out for himself.
"Dr. Li, Tang Ji's whereabouts have not been found yet?"
After the serious talk, Dong Zhuo, who felt a little relaxed, immediately turned his mind to the woman.
"The Prime Minister, Tang Ji threw himself into Yangqu that night, and he had not seen his body so far, so he must have floated to it."
Did Tang Ji commit suicide by jumping into the river and Li Ru didn't know, it was said by the servant, but he dared not deny it.
"What a pity!"
When Li Ru sighed inwardly when he thought of Tang Ji's charming beauty, he wanted to have a love affair.
"Hmph!"
Dong Zhuo glared at Li Ru dissatisfiedly. There was Huangfu Song's aunt in front and Shao Emperor's imperial concubine behind. They would rather die than commit suicide. This made Dong Zhuo feel very unhappy and turned to the harem with a gloomy face.

Hanoi. Huai County.
Yuan Shao, who was the general of the chariot and cavalry, glanced at Wang Kuang, who looked a little ugly, and his eyes passed by the strategist and the generals one by one.
Nowadays, Yuan Shao is full of energy and ambitious. Not only is he the leader of the fight against Dong, he commands 200,000 coalition forces, but he is also full of talents.
The advisers include Xu You, Feng Ji, Xin Pi, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Zhang Dao, etc.
Military generals include Gao Lan, Wen Chou, Qu Yi, Gao Gan, Ma Yan, Zhang Yi, Jiao Chu, Zhang Nan, etc.
"Everyone, what is Cao Mengde's plan?"
Yuan Shao glanced at everyone and turned the topic to the document sent by Cao Cao from the sour jujube.
"Free!"
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Xu You immediately followed up.
"If Cao Mengde's plan is followed, he can not only seize the Lantai classics, but also dismantle the Dongtao alliance, take the opportunity to recover Yanzhou and Jizhou lose land, and win three goals in one fell swoop!"
Following Xu You, Feng Ji also spoke out to support Cao Cao's strategy.
"Snatch the Lantai classics, the lord can unite the hearts of scholars all over the world!"
Yuan Shao's eyes turned to Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, and when they saw them, they nodded in agreement, their eyes shrank, and they made a decision in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, Lantai classics will enter Dongjun and will be repaired in Yan County. Who is willing to lead troops to siege the city?"
Facing Yuan Shao's eyes, General Gao Lan immediately stood up and asked for his appointment.
"Lord, I'm willing to go!"
Without waiting for the other generals to stand up, Yuan Shao immediately agreed to Gao Lan's request.
"Gaolan is the main general, Feng Ji is the military advisor, Ma Yan is the deputy general, commanding 20,000 troops, surrounding Yan County, and surrounding the clicks and aids."
Since Cao Cao's strategy of "voicing the west and attacking the east", he also wanted to give Tao Ying good-looking Yuan Shao an order immediately.
"Wen Chou is the main general, Xin Pi is the military advisor, Jiao Chu is the deputy general, and led 20,000 troops to station in Qicheng south of Yan County."
"Tu Yi is the main general, Guo Tu is the military advisor, Zhang Nan is the deputy general, commanding 20,000 troops, and stationed in Taocheng north of Yan County."
"This general personally led a large army of 30,000 and advanced east along the river. Xu You, Xu Chen, Gao Gan and Zhang Ying accompanied him."
With Yuan Shao's order, the advisers and generals who were called up stood up to receive the order.
"No!"
Everyone sat down, but Feng Ji stood still.
"Lord, this time, Tao Ying will be attacked by the enemy from the back and forth. A mere county in Hanoi may not be able to accomplish great things. I should take over Jizhou!"
After hearing Feng Ji's plan to turn against him, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others were all moved and immediately followed up and persuaded Yuan Shao to replace Han Fu and take over Jizhou.
"Lord, although Jizhou has lost four counties, it is still strong and fulfilling, and can be the foundation!"
"Lord, the Korean Festival is mediocre, which has led to the Bohai, Hejian and other counties being occupied by traitor Taoist, so we should take the opportunity to take over!"
"Lord, Han Wenjie has a lot of talents, Wen Ju Su, Wu Zhang He and Pan Feng, take over Jizhou, and will definitely become the lord to help!"
"This..."
The suggestions of Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others made Yuan Shao, who had long been replaced by Han Fu, hesitated. After all, Han Fu was a disciple of Yuan's family, and it was a bit taboo for him to come forward to rob.
"The lord doesn't need to worry. Please ask friends, Zhongzhi, Jingming to go to Yecheng for this matter, and Han Wenjie Xiaoming's interests, so he must personally give up his seal and ribbon!"
Xu You knew what Yuan Shao was worried about and immediately proposed a solution to Yuan Shao.
"Okay, there will be a lot of hard work for you, Zhongzhi, Jing Ming!"
Yuan Shao looked at Xun Chen, Xin Ping and Director Zhang, and was full of joy.
"Oh!"

The headquarters of the Xuanjia Army Yanzhou Corps is located in Lihu.
"Lord, Dong Zhuo sent someone to send documents and asked the lord to send troops to receive Lantai classics."
After reporting on the deployment of the Xuanjia Army in Yanzhou, Xi Zhicai mentioned the Lantai classics.
"The Lantai classics are loaded with a total of 1,000 carriages, led by Zhang Liao and Jia Xu, and escorted by 1,000 Bingzhou soldiers. According to the itinerary, they will arrive in Yan County tomorrow."
Tao Ying frowned slightly and was in a dilemma.
"I want classics, Zhang Liao, Jia Xu, too, but I don't want to stimulate Yuan Shao, Cao Cao!"
Yan County is only sixty miles away from sour jujube and less than a hundred miles away from Hanoi. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition forces have 200,000 troops there, and they will send troops to intercept the classics at any time.
