Three Kingdoms King of the North

While Huangfusong and Lu Bu were inspecting Dong Zhuo's family property in Meiwu, Wang Yun held a banquet in the capital hall in the capital, summoned all the officials, and drank wine to celebrate.And Jushou, who has been advising him for a long time, is also within the scope of being invited.

When he was half drunk, Ju Shou said to Wang Yun: "Wang Situ, now that General Huangfu is inspecting Dong Bandit's property in Meiwu, why don't you let him lead Dong Bandit's old troops and stay in Meiwu. If necessary, you can also ask him to surrender. Li Jue, Guo Si and other Dong Zhuo's former troops."

Unexpectedly, after Wang Yun heard this, he shook his head and said: "Li Jue, Guo Si and other four generals are Dong Zhuo's confidantes. Soldiers go to wipe out the remnants of the Dong bandits, where can they be recruited to surrender."

Seeing what Ju Shou wanted to say, Wang Yun quickly waved his hand at him, "Gongyu, today's banquet is to celebrate Dong Bandit's death, don't say anything disappointing. Come, let's drink this cup together!"

Jushou had no choice but to raise his wine glass to signal to Wang Yun, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

At this moment, a small official came to report: "Report to Wang Situ, we were ordered to display the corpse of Dong thief in the market. Zhuo's corpse was fat. To see the corpse, the soldier put fire on his navel as a lamp, and the ointment flowed." The ground was full. When the people passed by, they threw their heads with their hands and trampled on their corpses. Suddenly a person lay down on his corpse and cried loudly."

When Wang Yun heard this, he was furious immediately: "Dong thief was killed, and the scholars and people congratulated him; who is this, dare to cry!" Then he ordered the warriors in front of the palace, "Catch me!"

After a stick of incense, the warriors brought over the man lying on Dong Zhuo's body.When all the officials saw the person coming, they were all horrified: it turned out that the person was none other than Cai Yong, the servant.

Jushou, who was drinking heavily, was even more shocked when he saw Cai Yan being escorted up by the warriors. At this moment, he once again remembered his purpose in coming to Chang'an. disaster.But ever since Wang Yun assured himself that Cai Yong would be safe and sound, he never cared about rescuing Cai Yong from Chang'an.Especially after Dong Zhuo's death yesterday, he even put the matter behind him.Seeing Cai Yong being escorted up by warriors at this moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Wang Yun pointed at Cai Yong, and angrily scolded: "Dong Zhuo is a traitor, it is a great fortune for the country to be punished today. You are a Han minister, and you are not crying for the National Day, but crying for the thief, why?"

After Cai Yong waited for Wang Yun to finish speaking, he pleaded guilty and said: "Although Yong is not talented, he also knows the righteousness. How can he betray his country and go to Zhuo? It's just because of the feeling of knowing that he has met him for a while. May the public see the original: If you can get the tattooed head and cut off the feet, so that the history of the Han Dynasty can be continued, so as to redeem his guilt, Yong is very lucky."

Chapter 187 Jushou under house arrest

Regardless of the fact that Cai Yong was single-handedly promoted by Dong Zhuo, due to his character and talent, all court and military officials still respect him very much.Seeing his suffering at this moment, they all opened their mouths to plead for him.

Grand Tutor Ma Rixun even got up and said to Wang Yun: "Lord Situ, Bo Jie is a talented man. If he continues the history of the Han Dynasty, it will be a grand event. And his filial piety has always been practiced. If he is killed quickly, he may be disappointed. "

Unexpectedly, after Wang Yun finished listening, he snorted coldly and said: "In the past, Xiaowu didn't kill Sima Qian, and later made history, so he caused slanderous books to be passed on to later generations. Now that the country's fortunes are declining and the government is in chaos, you can't let the ministers write at the young master's side." , so that we will be criticized by him."

General Wang Yun didn't listen to his advice at all, Ma Rixun shook his head with a wry smile, retreated to his seat and sat down.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Ju Shou quickly got up and said to Wang Yun, "Wang Situ, I am bold and want to intercede for Cai Shizhong."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Yun raising his hand.Wang Yun said impatiently: "Gongyu, although you and I have a personal relationship, this is an official business. I dare not abolish the government for personal reasons." Speaking of this, he immediately ordered the two warriors standing behind Cai Yong, "Put Cai Yong in prison, and I will deal with it in the future."

As Cai Yong was taken away by warriors, the banquet broke up unhappy.Ju Shou came out of the palace together with the Wu ministers who had left, and hurried to the post station, preparing to discuss with Xia Houlan and others how to rescue Cai Yong.

Since Xia Houlan escorted Jushou to Chang'an, she either rode horses with the soldiers or drank and had fun in the post station every day.Early this morning, Wang Yun invited Jushou to the palace for a banquet. Xia Houlan thought that there was nothing wrong with her, so she summoned a few Dubos and team leaders to drink in the house.

Just as he was on his head, he suddenly heard Ju Shou's voice from outside: "Where is Captain Xiahou, Captain Xiahou, where are you?"

Xia Houlan was flustered when she heard Jushou's voice, she quickly put down the wine bottle in her hand, walked out quickly, and said loudly: "Mr.

Jushou threw himself in front of Xiahoulan, grabbed his arm, and said excitedly: "Captain Xiahou, disaster has come. I have a heavy entrustment from the Marquis of Tingting. It's too late to regret."

Xia Houlan was confused by Ju Shou's incoherent words, and he asked puzzledly, "Mr. Gong and Mr. Wang, didn't you go to the palace to drink with Wang Situ?"

"This is not a place to talk," Jushou suddenly realized that it would be inappropriate to discuss important matters with Xia Houlan in the yard, so he walked around him and walked into the house, saying, "Let's talk about it after entering the house." Bar."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jushou entered the room, he saw a group of people sitting in the room.When the Dubos and team leaders saw Ju Shou coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and said at the same time: "See Mr. Ju!"

Ju Shou didn't speak, but turned to look at Xia Houlan who followed.Xia Houlan immediately understood, and waved to the leaders of the Dubo team: "I have an important matter to discuss with the gentleman, so please step back first."

When only himself and Xiahoulan were left in the room, Ju Shou said anxiously: "Captain Xiahou, disaster is coming, disaster is coming. Wang Yun put Cai Shizhong in prison."

Hearing what Jushou said, Xia Houlan couldn't help being stunned.After a while, he finally asked, "I don't know why Wang Situ put Cai Shizhong in prison?"

"Today we were having a banquet, and someone came to report that someone was holding the corpse of Dong thief in the market and weeping bitterly." Ju Shou said to Xia Houlan: "Wang Situ was furious and ordered the warriors to capture that man. Who When the warriors brought the man there, Shicai found out that it was Cai Shizhong. Wang Situ was furious and ordered the warriors to put Cai Shizhong into prison, regardless of the pleas of all the officials."

Xia Houlan couldn't understand why Cai Yong went to cry for Dong Zhuo, so he looked at Ju Shou and asked his own question: "Why did Cai Shizhong hold Dong thief's body and cry bitterly?"

"According to Cai Shizhong himself, Dong thief was kind to him. Seeing Dong thief's dead body on the street, I couldn't bear it, so I hugged the corpse and cried bitterly." When Jushou said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Cai Shizhong It's really confusing, even if Dong thief is kind to you, you can pay homage to him secretly at home, why go outside and cry in the street. It's good now, let yourself be included."

Xia Houlan waited for Jushou to finish speaking, and then asked: "Mr. Gongyu, you have a good personal relationship with Wang Situ, why didn't you plead with him and let him let Cai Shizhong go?"

Hearing Xia Houlan's question, Jushou smiled wryly and said, "Captain Xiahou, do you think that you didn't intercede? When you heard Wang Situ say that you were going to put Cai Shizhong in prison, you asked him for mercy. Who But he was rejected. I really didn't expect that Wang Situ would become so domineering and domineering just after he took power."

"Lieutenant Xiahou," Ju Shou was confused because Cai Yong was imprisoned. In order to complete the task assigned to him by Han Zhan and send Cai Yong back to Jizhou safe and sound, he decided to take the risk: "Assemble the troops immediately, we will go to the prison and send Cai Yong back to Jizhou." Cai Shizhong rescued him."

Jushou's risky decision scared Xia Houlan out of his wits, and he quickly persuaded: "Grand and Mr., we only have 200 people, even if we can rob the prison and rescue Cai Shizhong in the capital, once the defenders in the city get the information, they will take him away." Once the city gate is closed, none of us can escape from the city."

After hearing Xiahoulan's words, Jushou calmed down a little, but he still didn't give up the idea of ​​forcibly robbing the prison, so he ordered Xiahoulan: "Captain Xiahoulan, immediately send some smart people to the prison to find out the news. .Tomorrow, I will go to Situ's mansion again and plead with Wang Situ. If he still refuses, maybe I can only take the road of robbery."

"Okay. So, I will arrange people to go to the prison." Xia Houlan is very clear about the reasons why Jushou came to the capital. One is to give gifts to the dignitaries in the court and the other is to persuade Cai Yong to leave the capital and go to Jizhou.Hearing Jushou's order, he immediately agreed, and prepared to send capable men to the prison to find out Cai Yong's whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man sent by Xiahoulan reached the gate of the post station, they saw a dense crowd of soldiers standing outside, so they hurried back to report to Xiahoulan.

Xia Houlan was taken aback when she heard this, and hurried to the gate of the post station with Jushou.Seeing the phalanx of hundreds of pikemen standing in the square in front of the post station, Xia Houlan sighed and said to Jushou: "Mr. Gong and Mr. Wang, it seems that Wang Situ has long been on guard against our robbery. , so so many people were sent to watch over us.”

Seeing the posture outside, Jushou knew that his plan had failed.He sighed, nodded slightly, and continued, "It seems that I can only go to Situ's mansion again, and I have the cheek to plead with Wang Situ. I hope he can extrajudicially show mercy and release Cai Shizhong."

After Ju Shou finished speaking, he was ready to go to Situ Mansion alone.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the post station, more than a dozen soldiers blocked his way. A man who looked like a military lord came over and said politely to him: "Master Ju, it is said that there are still many remnants of Dong thief in the city. Wang Situ was worried that they would be harmful to the adults, so he sent the younger ones to protect the station. Please turn back to the station quickly to avoid any accidents."

Hearing Junhou's words, Ju Shou's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Wang Yun was afraid that he would intercede with Cai Yong again, so he sent troops to put him under house arrest.He wanted to force his way through, but seeing the military lord's hand resting on the handle of the knife, if he made any abnormal movements, the other party could definitely slash over.

In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, he had no choice but to return to the station in despair.He said to Xia Houlan who was standing at the door: "Captain Xiahou, let's go in and talk about it."

When the two returned to the house, Xia Houlan asked bluntly: "Mr. Gong and Mr. Wang Yun, it seems that the old thief Wang Yun wants to trap us here. What should we do?"

Jushou was not angry when he heard that Xia Houlan called Wang Yun an old thief, but thought for a while and said: "We must report the situation of the capital to Tinghou as soon as possible, and see what he has in mind."

"Yesterday after Dong thief gave the head, the master has sent Mo Quan and others to hurry back to Jizhou, and is going to report the matter to the lord." Xia Houlan said in a difficult way: "Although I have 200 people under my command, I don't have any real confidants. You can send him back to deliver a letter to the lord."

Jushou thought for a while, and said to Xia Houlan: "Captain Xiahou, I will write a letter to the lord immediately. You immediately send someone out of the post station to chase after Mo Quan who set off yesterday, and ask him to report this matter to the lord." .”

After Xia Houlan waited for Jushou to write the letter, she found a team leader with a good relationship, handed the letter to him, and told him: "Mr. Ju has a letter that needs to be sent back to Jizhou immediately. You find a way to get it out Post station, hurry up and chase after Mo Quan, hand over this letter to him, and let him bring it to the lord."

After the team led the order, they came to the place where the post officials lived, threw on an official uniform and put it on themselves, trying to get out of the post station and chase after Moquan who left yesterday.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by officers and soldiers not far from the post station. The officer leading the team said viciously: "Go back to the post station immediately, or you will be killed."

Jushou's risky decision scared Xia Houlan out of his wits, and he quickly persuaded: "Grand and Mr., we only have 200 people, even if we can rob the prison and rescue Cai Shizhong in the capital, once the defenders in the city get the information, they will take him away." Once the city gate is closed, none of us can escape from the city."
