396 , Dong Zhuo was assassinated
Everyone made sense, but Liu Zhe hesitated for a moment. It was difficult to deal with Dong Zhuo, and it was also difficult to deal with Yuan Shao. He was not afraid of the difficulty, but he just couldn't bear to waste his soldiers' lives in vain. It would cost a lot of money to arm a soldier.
So, Liu Zhe turned his attention to Guo Jia. He wanted to hear Guo Jia's opinions. Guo Jia, as Liu Zhe's confidant, was most trusted by Liu Zhe.
At this time, someone rushed in from outside. This was Liu Zhe's guard. If there was important information, you could meet Liu Zhe directly without reporting.
"Lord," the guard came in and saluted, took a deep breath and said, "I just received the news that Dong Zhuo was assassinated in Chang'an!"
"What?" Liu Zhe was stunned, and everyone was also very surprised because the news was too sudden.
To be honest, Liu Zhe couldn't believe the news and couldn't help but confirm again: "This news is reliable?"
The guard replied, "Yes, the spy has confirmed it again and again."
Dong Zhuo was dead, and Liu Zhe didn't know what to say for a moment, and even felt a little complicated.
Although Liu Zhe hated Dong Zhuo and wanted to kill him, he had to admit that Dong Zhuo was a hero who acted decisively and ruthlessly.
He was the strongest prince in the world except Liu Zhe. You should know that the cavalry of Xiliang was extremely fierce. The coalition forces against Dong were even beaten to tears by them, and they did not dare to go further west.
Liu Zhe even thought that if Dong Zhuo was not that cruel, but was like him, he would definitely be Liu Zhe's biggest opponent, and even Cao Cao and Liu Bei could not compare with him.
Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo has been trying to commit suicide. After taking control of the court, he bullied all officials and exploited the people. After the emperor fled, people in the world still hated him to the core and secretly sent assassins to assassinate him.
After all, it is easy to hide from open guns, but it is difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Even though he was protected by guards day and night, he eventually fell under assassination.
Dong Zhuo is dead. Not only is Liu Zhe feeling a little complicated, but even the expressions of people like Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are very complicated.
Dong Zhuo is dead, so Liu Zhe’s current plan will naturally change.
"Lord, attack Yongzhou." Zhang Fei was the first to jump out. He was almost asleep when he heard everyone fighting here. He heard the news and immediately jumped out and suggested: "Since Dong Zhuo is dead, then there are no leaders in Yongzhou. I am willing to be the first to be the pioneer."
"Let the black man take the lead again." Tibetan Ba and others who were familiar with Zhang Fei despised him in their hearts. This guy was really good at stealing the show.
"Lord, we are willing to be a pioneer." Zhao Yun and others were unwilling to fall behind and left one after another.
They thought that Dong Zhuo had lost his life, and Yongzhou was now without a leader, so attacking was naturally easy and convenient. Liu Zhe would definitely attack Yongzhou and occupy Yongzhou.
However, the strategists around him shook their heads, and they didn't think that now was a good time to attack Yongzhou.
Liu Zhe also thought it through. He shook his head and rejected the request of the generals and said, "Now is not a good time to attack Yongzhou. Dong Zhuo is dead, and Yongzhou is headless, but if I march into Yongzhou, Dong Zhuo's generals will definitely unite and work together to resist me."
After Liu Zhe finished speaking, he smiled with a little self-deprecating smile and continued, "You might as well let them fight for a while before talking. I'm forced to take action."
The generals may be a little difficult to understand, but the strategists understand.
Liu Zhe hated Dong Zhuo, and everyone in the world knew that Dong Zhuo died, and their generals would not surrender to Liu Zhe unless they had no choice. Who knows whether Liu Zhe would take his anger on them because he hated Dong Zhuo.
What's more, Dong Zhuo exploited the people, and they were also accomplices and were full of crimes. Liu Zhe had the people of the three counties under his command, and millions of Luoyang people were in Youzhou. These people had suffered from their military attacks. They surrendered to Liu Zhe, but they knew whether Liu Zhe would kill them to appease the people.
Therefore, Liu Zhe will not attack Yongzhou for the time being. It will be much easier for Liu Zhe to come forward when he waits for Dong Zhuo's generals to kill each other for a while.
But this also has potential risks.
Zhang Liao stepped out and said, "Lord, once Dong Zhuo's generals win the battle, we will also face a complete Yongzhou."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Wenyuan doesn't have to worry. After they fight, even if someone controls Yongzhou, their strength will be greatly damaged, which will be more beneficial to us."
At this time, Ju Su also left the list and said, "Lord, there is still something wrong with this matter."
Liu Zhe heard this and asked, "So bet, what's wrong with this?"
Ju Su replied: "Lord, although the general Dong Zhuo is full of sins, if the court is willing to pardon them and asks them to surrender, they may not surrender."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other strategists suddenly realized.
But there is no way to do this. Even if Liu Zhe can admit to them personally, they will not believe it, because Liu Zhe's words are not golden words and cannot be believed. Only the emperor's words can be said.
Tian Feng suggested: "Lord, why not ask the court for an imperial edict to pardon their sins and let them surrender?"
"Not appropriate," Xun You objected, saying: "Dong Zhuo's generals were full of sins and were disgusted by the people of the world. If they were surrendered, their command would damage the reputation of the lord."
Many people nodded after hearing this.
