Western Liang Spiritual State.
In the General's Estate.
Jiang Chen took off his blood-stained dark silver armor and changed into a clean robe. There was less cold killing intent on his body.
He sat in front of a document, holding a letter in his hand.
On his left was a Confucian scholar in a green robe.
The Confucian scholar was about thirty years old. He had a thin face, a calm expression, and an extraordinary bearing.
A soldier was kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for instructions.
It was the messenger sent by Situ Wang Yun of Luoyang.
The content of the letter was similar to what Jiang Chen had expected. It was a letter for help.
He asked him to lead his troops into Luoyang to fight against Dong Zhuo, and at the end of the letter was the emperor's seal.
Jiang Chen was in Liangzhou, but he had been paying close attention to what was happening in Luoyang's imperial court.
For a long time, the power of the royal court was basically controlled by two forces.
On the one hand, Empress He and General He Jin were the ones who controlled the military.
On the other hand, the eunuchs led by the Shi Chang Shi controlled politics.
In the past, the two sides had been fighting openly and secretly, fighting each other endlessly.
However, the Ten Attendants were only eunuchs after all. They relied on the emperor's favor to do evil and run amok, competing with the consorts.
But now that the Spirit Emperor had passed away, the new Emperor was Empress He's son, Liu Bian.
The Ten Attendants had lost their support, and the balance between the two sides had been broken. He Jin and Empress He basically monopolized the court.
Logically speaking, with He Jin's current momentum, wanting to kill the "Shi Chang Shi" was as easy as crushing a bug.
However, Empress Dowager He was bewitched by the Ten Attendants of the Eternal and wanted to spare their lives.
He Jin had no choice but to listen to his subordinate Yuan Shao's suggestion to invite the governor of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo, and the governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, to the palace to kill the eunuchs.
And the Ten Attendants of the Eternal chose to strike first and kill He Jin in the palace.
He Jin's generals Cao Cao and Yuan Shao took revenge for him and led their troops into the palace to kill the "Shi Chang Shi".
The two major groups in the palace almost instantly disintegrated. The internal power of the imperial court was empty.
Dong Zhuo, who had entered Luoyang, seized the opportunity to occupy the Imperial Court.
He Jin held great power and victory in his hands, but he actually listened to the woman's words and did not dare to make a move.
He had only killed a few eunuchs, yet he had asked a foreign official to lead troops into the palace.
In the end, not only did he die, but he also caused the current situation.
Such a muddle-headed and incompetent person actually held the power of a dynasty.
What a joke!
Jiang Chen didn't say anything after reading the letter. Instead, he handed the letter to the middle-aged scholar.
This middle-aged Confucian scholar's surname was Jia, and his name was Xu, also known as Wenhe.
Originally, he was just a small official in a small county city. After being discovered by Jiang Chen, he was promoted to be his chief strategist.
Although his name was not exposed now, not many people knew him.
However, Jiang Chen knew that the person who had become the Prime Minister of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms was an extraordinary figure.
Jia Xu took the letter and casually glanced at it. In just two to three seconds, he stopped reading.
One could not help but wonder if he had seen it clearly.
However, Jiang Chen knew that not only did he read the letter clearly, but he could also recite it easily.
Ten lines at a glance, photographic memory.
These idioms were not exaggerated and fabricated by predecessors, but existed in reality.
And Jia Xu was such a person.
He held the letter in one hand and said," Although the rebellion of the eunuchs has been pacified, General He Jin is dead. Dong Zhuo, who led his troops into the palace, is bullying the Emperor?”
The soldier cupped his fists." Yes, my lord hopes that you can lead troops into the palace as soon as possible to assist the Emperor in checking Dong Zhuo."”
"What about Ding Jianyang, the governor of Bingzhou? Wasn't he summoned to the palace with Dong Zhuo?”
"With him around, Dong Zhuo wouldn't dare to act rashly!”
Jia Xu said indifferently, his voice unperturbed.
The soldier replied," If Provincial Governor Ding was still here, how could that Thief Dong dare to be so presumptuous? But now…Provincial Governor Ding is already…dead!"”
"Oh?" Jia Xu frowned.
"I don't know what method Dong Zhuo used to bribe Provincial Governor Ding's adopted son, Lu Bu.”
"That Lu Bu killed Governor Ding when he was unprepared and presented his head to Dong Zhuo. He even recognized Dong Zhuo as his foster father. Now, the tens of thousands of Bing Province soldiers belong to Dong Zhuo!”
"Oh, I see." Jia Xu nodded slightly and said," Go and rest. This matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss it with my family's general!"”
"Here!"
The soldier cupped his fists and slowly retreated.
When he disappeared, Jiang Chen raised his head and asked Jia Xu,""Wenhe, what do you think of this matter?"
Jia Xu smiled slightly and placed his hands behind his back, saying,""This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
"Oh?" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed.
"It's been nearly four hundred years since the Han Gaozu killed the White Snake to revolt, exterminated the Violent Qin, defeated Xiang Yu, and established the Darkhan Dynasty.”
"The Great Han Dynasty has just experienced the Yellow Turban disaster, and there are foreign tribes eyeing it covetously at the border. It's already in a precarious situation.”
"However, the hearts of the people today still belong to the Han. The Yellow Turban Army is so powerful, but it only lasted for a short nine months. This is the reason why the main force was completely defeated.”
"Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and bullied the Emperor. He was lawless, and the people complained and suffered. Those aristocratic families were afraid of Dong Zhuo's power and did not dare to resist.”
"At this time, if someone can go to Luoyang to fight against Dong Zhuo, they will definitely gain the support of the people and obtain a very high reputation.”
"Reputation is not money or power, but in a sense, it is more important than both!”
" But," Jia Xu paused for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his face." Even if I have this idea, it's very difficult to realize."”
"Without the emperor's edict, it is taboo for foreign officials to bring troops into the palace. It is no different from rebellion.”
"Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang without being attacked by the world because of Great General He Jin's letter.”
"Wang Yungui is the minister of the court, one of the three dukes. He has a respected status and is much more prestigious than He Jin. Coupled with the seal of the current emperor, his letter is a good opportunity for us to enter Luoyang!”
Jia Xu spoke with assurance.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a look of admiration.
"That Dong Zhuo has organized the Imperial Guards and Lu Bu's Bing Province soldiers. He seems to have a lot of people and a lot of power.”
"However, in such a short period of time, the people of the various factions have gathered together. In fact, the good and the bad are mixed together.”
"Also, that Lu Bu is greedy and only cares about profit. He actually killed his foster father. If Dong Zhuo keeps him by his side, he will definitely suffer!”
Jia Xu smiled faintly, clearly looking down on Lu Bu's actions.
"Good, good, good!" Jiang Chen spat out three words.
He was familiar with this part of history, and he already knew what to do.
It was just that he did not expect that this Jia Xu would be able to predict the destruction of the Great Han Dynasty and the rise of disputes just by relying on his current guess.
His evaluation of Dong Zhuo's army and Lu Bu was even more astonishing!
In history, Dong Zhuo had been betrayed by Lu Bu and killed by him. This coincided with Jia Xu's " will definitely be harmed "!
As expected of one of the top strategists of the Three Kingdoms period. He was truly powerful to the extreme!
"Messenger!"
"Here!"
A soldier holding a flag walked in, knelt on one knee, and cupped his fists.
"Pass down the order. Tomorrow morning, send troops to Luoyang to rescue the emperor!”
