At night.
The moon hung high in the sky, and the stars were twinkling.
Jiang Chen left the Imperial Residence and was on his way back to his residence.
After tonight's discussion, Situ Wangyun would provide the Seven Star Treasure Saber, Cao Cao would take the opportunity to enter the residence to assassinate, and Jiang Chen would be in charge of the escape route after the assassination. Everything had been planned out.
Wang Yun gave the saber to Cao Cao, and Jiang Chen only needed to go back to the military camp and make arrangements.
Now, they were just waiting for Cao Cao to find an opportunity to act.
Would it succeed?
Jiang Chen's rationality told him that he would not succeed because that was how history developed.
Although many things had changed after he transmigrated to this world, the overall situation had not changed.
The Yellow Turban Uprising, the eunuch rebellion, the death of Emperor Ling, He Jin's death, and Dong Zhuo's return to Beijing.
If Cao Cao's assassination was successful, he would take over Dong Zhuo's current power and become the most powerful person in the world.
The entire world would be in his hands.
Those originally vigorous battles and those originally soul-stirring heroic deeds would not appear.
The eighteen vassals attacked Dong, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Red Cliff, the Battle of Hanzhong…
Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, Zhao Yun saved Ah Dou in the sun, Zhou Yu laughed and destroyed the strong enemy…
However, for the common people of the world, being able to avoid the disaster of war and recuperate was the best ending.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but hope that he could change history. Cao Cao's assassination was successful, and the people of the Central Plains were saved from the scourge of war.
The war would not cause the people to suffer heavy casualties, resulting in the invasion of the foreign races with few soldiers to resist the enemy, causing the tragedy of the Five Barbarians to reappear.
"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde."
Thinking of Cao Cao, Jiang Chen had to admit that his previous view of him was indeed a little one-sided.
When he first saw him, Jiang Chen felt that although this person was not good-looking, he had a heroic and heroic temperament.
Later on, when everyone was sighing and crying, he was the only one who calmly analyzed Dong Zhuo's situation and tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo without caring about his own safety.
He didn't have to do this.
Although Dong Zhuo was arrogant and despotic, he was still very good to the person he liked.
For example, Cai Yong and Cao Cao.
However, for the sake of the burly man, he still went without regard for his own safety.
When people mentioned Cao Cao, they would call him treacherous.
However, who would have thought that this person, who was called the evil hero of troubled times by later generations, had such a loyal side?
As he thought about it, he had already walked back to the door of his residence.
Jia Xu was wearing a gray robe and a crown on his head as he stood in the courtyard.
Ever since taking Jia Xu in as a trusted aide, Jiang Chen was already used to this.
"This Jia Xu, I don't know what he's looking at every day…"
"I'm not Zhuge Liang, so why would I read astrology…Do all top strategists read astrology?”
Jiang Chen thought to himself as he walked towards Jia Xu.
"General, it's so late again today?”
Jia Xu raised his hand and bowed.
"Wen He didn't sleep either. What did you see in the starry sky today?”Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jia Xu glanced at Jiang Chen, then pointed to the sky and said,""General, please look at the brightest star in the night sky.”
"Oh."
Jiang Chen looked in that direction." I saw it. What's wrong?"”
"There are a few other stars beside it. Although they are not as bright as it is, they have already surrounded it.”Jia Xu said indifferently.
？？？
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
Why did these words sound like they were implying something?
Wasn't he saying that he, Wang Yun, and Cao Cao had plotted against Dong Zhuo?
Could it be that one could really predict the stars at night?
"Wenhe, you…know?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
Jia Xu nodded.
"Did you see all this by looking at the stars and the moon?”
Jiang Chen felt a little incredulous.
Jia Xu's expression was normal as he spat out three words." No, I guessed."”
"Then what do you mean by the stars you pointed at me?”Jiang Chen asked in confusion.
"I'm just randomly pointing."
Jia Xu was expressionless.
“……”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Jia Xu pinched his beard with one hand." This kind of thing can only be understood but not explained.”
In other words, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to learn even if he wanted to.
"This Jia Xu! You really don't give me any face…"
Jiang Chen was somewhat unconvinced, but he had to admit that in terms of understanding human nature and foresight, he was indeed inferior to Jia Xu.
But so what? Such a powerful person still had to plan for him.
Thinking of this, the depression in Jiang Chen's heart was swept away.
"Then Wenhe, why don't you guess if this matter will succeed?”
Jia Xu shook his head and said,"Not necessarily."”
"This matter is all based on luck.”
"As for us, it's good if we succeed, but it's not a disaster if we don't. We've been out for some time, so it's time to go back.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
He had come to Luoyang this time not to fight Dong Zhuo, but to fight for fame.
Fame was not money or power, but sometimes it was more important than both.
Why was it that Liu Bei was so poor and did not even have a piece of his own territory, yet so many people were still willing to follow him? Wasn't it because of the name of his Imperial Uncle?
And Cao Cao, didn't he also gather his forces because of the reputation he had accumulated from assassinating Dong Zhuo?
And now, Jiang Chen was openly confronting the brutal Dong Zhuo in the imperial court.
He had already gained a good reputation among the people.
He only needed to take advantage of his time in Luoyang to visit some aristocratic families and accumulate some popularity.
He had basically achieved his goal. It was time to go back.
And even if he didn't leave, Dong Zhuo would find a way to make him leave.
How can I let others sleep beside my bed?
This was obvious.
Although Dong Zhuo seemed to be very afraid of Jiang Chen now.
However, that was only a show of weakness and the reorganization of the army.
It wasn't that the current Dong Zhuo could be bullied by anyone and didn't have the strength to fight.
He just didn't want both sides to suffer.
On the other hand, Jiang Chen was in a difficult position. Of course, he wasn't afraid of Dong Zhuo fighting him face to face.
However, if he wanted to defend the city, he simply had no way at all.
And once Dong Zhuo's army was reorganized, the situation would change in an instant.
Not to mention, Dong Zhuo still had an army in Liangzhou.
Once the war started, Dong Zhuo's troops in Liangzhou would definitely come to help. At that time, Jiang Chen would immediately be caught in a dilemma.
In the end, it was still Dong Zhuo who had a large army, a large force, and a favorable geographical position. It was not wise to fight him now.
Only by returning to Liangzhou and continuing to consolidate and develop his own forces was the best plan.
However, before that, he had to wait for news of Cao Cao's assassination.
If the assassination was successful, Jiang Chen would be able to directly occupy Luoyang. Naturally, he would not have to leave.
If he failed, he could prepare to return.
It wouldn't be long before Cao Cao, who had escaped, issued a false edict to gather the eighteen vassals to attack Dong Zhuo.
At that time, Dong Zhuo would be short of troops in front and would definitely send reinforcements from the rear.
Then, Liangzhou would become his.
After that, heroes rose up together.
He followed Jia Xu's strategy and occupied Bingzhou, spying on the two places of Ji and You. When the time was right, he would take over the north and look at the Central Plains like a tiger.
The north had always been the center of the country's economy. Most of the land and population were in the north.
They would dominate the north and when the time was right, the south would be decided in a single battle!
