Chapter 57
After finding Cai Wenji, Han Yu was in a good mood.
Next, Han Yu asked Ju Shou, Yu Jin, and the others to lead the troops and stay on alert.
Han Yu alone led dozens of cavalry with Zhao Yun and Zhang He and proceeded west to find Diao Chan.
The Dong Zhuo Army, with the Han emperor, civil and military officials, and their families.
The soldiers chased the people off the road, and with the addition of grains, they walked very slowly.
From a distance, you can see on the road there are people, soldiers, and officials all moving slowly on the road.
Han Yu walked along the road, and when he arrived at Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo had already entered the pass.
However, Han Yu did not want to kill Dong Zhuo, and he did not care about him.
Although he did not meet Dong Zhuo, he got the news that Wang Yun was still outside the gate.
Han Yu quickly found Wang Yun's tent. After Wang Yun stopped to rest for the night, Han Yu secretly went to visit Wang Yun.
After Dong Zhuo overthrew Yang Biao, Wang Yun replaced Yang Biao as the Situ (Administrator of Land), and concurrently as Minister over the Masses.
It could be said that he was ordered to serve in a dangerous time, and he was also Dong Zhuo's confidant.
But Han Yu knew that Wang Yun was also a very cunning person.
On the surface, he flatters Dong Zhuo constantly, eventually gains Dong Zhuo's trust, and secretly conspires with other officials to kill Dong Zhuo.
In the end, his hopeful plan succeeded to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
But what Han Yu cared about was not the relationship between Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo, but rather Wang Yun's daughter.
Diao Chan, who was famous as one of the four beauties of ancient China.
At the moment, I don't know whether she is with Wang Yun or not?
After Han Yu found Wang Yun, he bowed: "Minister Wang, I am Han Yu (Ziyu), the son of Jizhou Governor Han Fu, came to ask for permission to meet."
Wang Yun was astonished when he heard those words, Wang Yun had already heard of Han Yu's name before.
He did not expect Han Yu to be so bold and come directly to his place.
Wang Yun could not help but ask: "It turns out to be Young Master Han, I don't know what you need with this old man?"
Han Yu looked at the people around Wang Yun and remained silent.
"You go out first."
Wang Yun waved his hand, sent everyone around him away, and asked again, "We can talk now!"
Han Yu nodded and said, "I came here today to make an agreement with Minister Wang."
"Oh? What deal?"
Wang Yun was confused.
Han Yu pondered: "Dong Zhuo had abolished the Emperor, poisoned the Empress Dowager, and killed a large number of ministerial members, with a clear rebellious intention.
After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Minister Wang flattered Dong Zhuo and obeyed Dong Zhuo in all matters. To outsiders, Minister Wang was considered a group with Dong Zhuo.
However, Yu knew that Minister Wang was a minister who still remained loyal and faithful to the great Han. Minister Wang was only with Dong Zhuo out of necessity. Once Dong Zhuo was caught off guard, Minister Wang could take matters into his own hands. "
"Young Master Han is speaking nonsense!"
Wang Yun was taken aback and immediately interrupted Han Yu.
These things were his personal thoughts, and he never dared to tell anyone, otherwise, this would be a disaster.
However, Han Yu was able to boldly speak this directly, and Wang Yun was worried.
Han Yu continued, "Don't worry, Minister Wang, this is only Yu's guess, and no one else will know about it. Dong Zhuo's strength is very strong that even the eighteen Warlords have not been able to defeat Dong Zhuo.
Although I am not talented, if Minister Wang has any needs in the future, my father and I will be willing to help Minister Wang."
Wang Yun fell into deep thought.
Han Yu's ability to defeat Lü Bu at Hulao Pass cannot be underestimated.
Moreover, his father was also the Governor of Jizhou.
Then, as Han Yu said, he was someone who had the intention to get rid of Dong Zhuo in the future.
Therefore he was always in the same boat as the enemy Allied Forces.
If he had outside help like Han Yu, this could be a great help for him when things went wrong in the future.
But he couldn't understand Han Yu's intentions.
He didn't know why Han Yu went toward him and revealed his intentions directly.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be a personal plan? In any case, this shouldn't be issued clearly!
Besides, Wang Yun was an old Minister who had been an official for many years, which is why he was able to secretly plan this well under Dong Zhuo.
He could naturally see that Han Yu didn't just want to help him to destroy Dong Zhuo.
Wang Yun pondered: "What is the purpose of Master Han doing this? Isn't Master Han worried that I will immediately send someone to arrest you and hand you over to Dong Zhuo?
After all, Young Master Han has already defeated Lü Bu at Hulao Pass, and I'm afraid you've become a thorn in Dong Zhuo's eyes. "
Han Yu smiled and said: "Don't tell me whether Minister Wang is capable of arresting me, even if you can, I believe that Minister Wang will not do this.
After all, what is Minister Wang going to do, which is, you have already made many enemies, namely all the current Warlords of Guangdong. Besides, even if Minister Wang intended to destroy Dong Zhuo, there was something important that you need, Minister Wang had to have a well-thought-out plan to be able to do so! "
"Young Master Han is very bold. Since you have come here, then you must have a request!"
Wang Yun was secretly surprised that Han Yu was so daring.
Han Yu smiled and said, "Minister Wang really has such keen eyes, but I do have a little request."
"Young Master Han, could you tell me what you need?"
Wang Yun could not help asking.
Han Yu bowed and said, "I can't lie to Minister Wang, next year I will be eighteen, and I am currently unmarried. I heard that Mr. Situ has a kind-hearted daughter, named Diao Chan who is also good at singing, even though she is not yet of age, I intend to marry Diao Chan as my wife. I hope that Minister Wang can grant it!"
Han Yu said respectfully.
Wang Yun was quite a complicated person and was not easy to deal with.
Moreover, Wang Yun was a Situ (Administrator of Land) of the current Han Dynasty, who would succeed in killing Dong Zhuo in the future.
Having a good relationship with Wang Yun would not only earn him fame and fortune in the future, but also gain a lot of favors, both overt and covert.
There are other benefits as well, but was it as important as getting Diao Chan, one of the four most beautiful women in the world?
