Chapter 591 Jia Wen and Ye Run Luo Ziming
Luo Kong led thousands of armored cavalry from the Wushuang Marquisate all the way eastward, continuously recruiting elite cavalry from various countries, and trekked all the way to Dunhuang County for rest and recuperation.
Then he learned about the outrageous actions of Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou. A fierce look flashed across his eyes, and he knew that this governor of Liangzhou had evil intentions and was definitely not a loyal minister.
He didn't care too much. In this vast world, there were many loyal and upright ministers, and there were also many treacherous and cunning ones. Moreover, even if they were all loyal ministers, it was normal for them to not recognize each other and fight with each other.
The appearance of Luo Kong was a shock to all the officials in Liangzhou. It had been a long time since Marquis Wushuang had exerted his influence on Liangzhou.
Although Luo Kong now appeared with only 30,000 troops, they were all elite soldiers, each with four horses. The gathering of more than 100,000 horses was truly too shocking.
Moreover, although these 30,000 cavalrymen were not fully armored, the high rate of armor coverage still shocked Liangzhou.
If leather armor is also considered armor, then this army is almost 100% armored.
Fortunately, this is Liangzhou, which has one of the most elite cavalry in the world, and we can still keep calm.
Luo Kong continued to move forward, and then raised the commander's flag in Wuwei County. All the military commanders who remained in the prefectures and counties went to pay a visit to him.
He is the General of Cavalry. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, he is one of the leaders of the world's military generals.
…
The night is bright, the stars are sparse, and the moon is high in the sky.
Liangzhou Governor's Office.
Jia Xu packed his bags and prepared to escape from the place where he thought he could not stay for long, to look for Wushuang Marquis and the Cavalry General Luo Kong Luo Ziming who was stationed in Wuwei County.
"Wenhe, are you really going to leave?"
Jia Xu had just walked around the corner of the corridor when suddenly a slightly sinister voice was heard, which scared him. A thin figure stood in the shadows, with a perfect temperament. If he hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed it.
As soon as Jia Xu heard the voice, he knew it was Li Ru, and his worry was relieved. He believed that Li Ru would not harm him, so he turned around and said, "Wenyou, I left without saying goodbye because I was worried about talking to you. I left a letter for you in the room, but I didn't expect to meet you again."
Li Ru walked out from the shadows, and the two of them sat directly on the railing of the corridor. After a moment of silence, Li Ru asked, "Wen He, why are you unwilling to help the lord?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu said directly: "Because I don't think highly of Dong Zhuo. Character determines fate. He will never achieve anything.
If he stayed in Liang Province peacefully, he would still retain his position as a vassal, but going to the Central Plains would definitely be the beginning of his downfall.
I cannot choose to be loyal to someone like this.”
Li Ru's heart sank instantly when he heard this. He always believed that there were not many counselors in the world who were better than him, but everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses.
He was a figure like Wen Xianhou, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was well-versed in governing the country and the army, and in making suggestions.
But when it comes to judging people and calculating things, he is far inferior to Jia Wenhe.
Jia Wenhe was the person with the most terrifying ability to judge the situation that he had ever seen. He could interpret every piece of information repeatedly and get to the essence of it. He could almost be said to have planned everything out.
Now he said that Dong Zhuo could not accomplish anything and almost sentenced Dong Zhuo to death. Li Ru asked in a hoarse voice: "My lord, you are of humble origin and may have many shortcomings, but you and I are by your side, enough to persuade you.
Didn’t the former Emperor Gao also have many shortcomings that did not seem like a king?
Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to fully display what you have learned by supporting such a person?
Let the world see that it is not only people of noble birth who can accomplish great things, but people like us from humble backgrounds can also achieve great things."
Jia Wenhe sighed slightly and said, "Wenyou, you have too much prejudice against poor families and rich families.
Before I leave, I have something to tell you.
Is there anything in this world that remains unchanged?
Dong Zhuo cannot represent the poor, and the wealthy families in Luoyang that bullied you in the past cannot represent the wealthy.
The poor do not associate with goodness, and the rich do not associate with evil.
It cares about people’s hearts and human nature.
When you start using identities to refer to people, the regime is in jeopardy.
If you want to help the poor, believe me, there must be people in this world who come from poor families but have good moral character and have the potential to rule the world.
If you follow Dong Zhuo, your fate will not be good."
Li Ru was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about Wushuang Hou?
You are going to seek refuge with Marquis Wushuang, right?
But Luo is not the king, aren't you going to look for someone who can rule the world?"
Without talking about Dong Zhuo, Jia Wenhe smiled and said: "Whether I can rule the world is not important. What is important is that I can revive my family safely and securely.
After I joined the Wushuang Marquis’s army, with my talent and background, I entered the Luo family’s sight.
If the Han Dynasty can be revived, I will naturally be a hero.
If the Han Dynasty is destroyed, Marquis Wushuang and Marquis Ying will be buried with them, but Zhaocheng will not let someone like me be buried with him. I will follow the next son of the Luo family to be born.
It is as stable as a rock and is the best choice for loyalty. "
"well."
After a heavy sigh, both of them stopped talking and bowed to each other. Jia Xu walked out step by step with determination, and the starlight fell on him.
Jia Xu walked to the gate of the courtyard and turned back. He saw Li Ru standing under the eaves of the corridor, his whole body in darkness.
He did not persuade Li Ru to go with him. Everyone has their own aspirations. Li Ru had his own obsession in his heart, and that was his path.
Li Ru saw Jia Xu bathed in silver moonlight, as if he was covered with a layer of gauze, and there was a bright road ahead.
Li Ru smiled, but no one saw it. He believed that his good friend could have a better future than himself, a person who was extremely smart and knew how to protect himself.
…
After leaving the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, Jia Xu went straight to the camp where Luo Kong was staying. This showed the importance of the transaction between Jia Xu and Dong Zhuo.
He has gained some fame in Liangzhou. According to the words of the Central Plains, he is now a famous scholar in Liangzhou.
It's like having an extremely important work experience on your resume that can be used as a stepping stone.
Luo Kong didn't expect that a scholar from Liangzhou would come to visit him, and he was from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion. He met Jia Xu with great curiosity.
When Jia Xu walked into the room, he saw a man from the Luo family with a holy mark engraved on his forehead sitting upright. He knew that this was the peerless marquis Luo Kong, so he took two steps forward, bowed and saluted, saying, "Wuwei Jia Xu, I pay my respects to you, the marquis. I hope you will forgive me."
Forgiveness?
Luo Kong hadn't thought of what to say yet, but Jia Xu's words aroused his curiosity. "Sir, please take a seat. What is the reason for your forgiveness?"
Jia Xu stood up and said, "The General Protector of the Qiang and the Governor of Liangzhou went to quell the Qiang rebellion. It was my plan that I came up with, so I came here to confess my crime to you, my Lord."
Um?
Luo Kong's eyes condensed, and his momentum suddenly became fierce. The awe-inspiring power that had fought through the mountains of swords and seas of fire in the Western Regions instantly pressed over. He lightly touched the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice, "Sir, please speak."
Jia Xu was overwhelmed by the momentum and his face turned pale, but he was not panicking. Luo was reasonable, so he was not worried about being killed by a sword. So he did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying were born in the countryside. They have a violent temper and are unwilling to be inferior to others. They are good at taking risky actions and do not care about the overall situation.
If he were in Liang Province, he would never be inferior to the princes.
The first enemy that the prince faced when he went to Luoyang was not the Taiping Army, but the Western Liang Cavalry.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry are the world's elite, numbering over a hundred thousand, and are able to roam the world.
Although Dong Zhuo had a bad character, he was a fierce general. Although his generals were all warriors, when he led the cavalry into battle, they were as fast as the wind and as fierce as fire.
If the two sides fought, both would suffer losses, so Xu used words to persuade Dong Zhuo to leave, so that you could go east safely. "
Jia Xu was not bragging. He had a good idea of how powerful the Western Liang Iron Cavalry created by Dong Zhuo and Li Ru was.
Although the armor rate of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not as high as that of the Western Regions Army, their numbers are much greater, and the number is almost the same. If a real fight breaks out, the Western Regions Army without the presence of the Temple Army may not even be a match for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Luo's son is indeed fierce and proficient in both civil and military affairs, but without the Temple Army and the Warriors, Luo's son is just an ordinary fierce general.
Not every son of the Luo family is a fierce man like Luo Wugong who can kill generals and seize flags. Especially after the Han Dynasty was conquered, heroes emerged in troubled times. Although no one knows about it, the Luo family will slowly discover it.
Why did Ji Zhao warn his family to be cautious in troubled times? It was because there were too many talented people in troubled times.
Those geniuses with attributes exceeding 90, who are rarely seen in normal times, gather in clusters in troubled times and can even form a staff group and a group of divine generals.
Hearing what Jia Xu said, Luo Kong put down his sword, restrained his momentum, and waved his hand gently, saying: "Sir, please sit down. Do you have anything to teach me?"
Jia Xu then walked to the seat leisurely and replied, "Your Excellency's family has a long history of learning. I dare not teach you, but I have a few words that I want to present to you."
Luo Kong was still thinking about what Jia Xu had just said. The more he thought about it, the more clever it seemed. So he said seriously, "Sir, please continue."
Jia Xu groaned for a moment and said, "Your Excellency has come to serve the king, and the troops of the Western Regions are elite, which will surely shock the whole world.
Xu has something to ask, Your Excellency, is this how you should serve the king?
Should we attack the Taiping Army or enter Luoyang to defend it?"
Luo Kong groaned and said, “It’s probably impossible for foreign troops to enter Luoyang.
As long as we can resolve the crisis in Luoyang and defeat the Taiping Army, it will be enough."
Upon hearing this, Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Then you must be careful. If you are not careful, the whole army will be destroyed. And it will not be at the hands of the Taiping Army, but at the hands of treacherous villains."
Jia Xu's words were like a huge rock dropping on the calm lake, making Luo Kong unable to calm down. He stared at Jia Xu closely, waiting for his subsequent words.
Jia Xu slowly recounted his conjectures. Luo Kong became more and more excited as he listened, and he even sat down next to Jia Xu.
————
Kong entered Liang Province and stationed in Wuwei. The generals and officials of the prefectures and counties came to pay him a visit, but he was very tired. When Jia Xu came to surrender, Kong talked with him and didn't feel tired for half the night. He sighed and said, "I have got Wenhe, just like Emperor Gaozu got Liang." - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Wushuanghou"
