After the discussion, Tian Feng and Cheng Yu left the big tent hand in hand, and Cheng Yu kept having an inexplicable smile on his face.

Although there is a big age difference between the two, the relationship between them is extraordinary.

It can be said that Cheng Yu and Tian Feng were not very popular in the past.

The former is too gloomy and will give a bad feeling; The latter is too upright, and sometimes he offends people when he speaks.

But now, the two of them are working hard under Chen Xu's account, but they complement each other.

The two walked together, and Cheng Yu suddenly said: "Yuan Hao, your temper should also be changed." ”

"Fortunately, the lord is not the kind of person with a small belly. Otherwise, if you talk about him in public like this, it is difficult to guarantee that the lord will not feel guilty. ”

Although Cheng Yu's personality is not tactful enough, he is so old after all. After a long time of grinding, he was able to change his temper to some extent.

On the contrary, Tian Feng was originally the kind of person who committed a crime. In addition, he is young and vigorous now, and when he scolds people, he doesn't even give Chen Xu face.

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the lord wants to send troops to Yanzhou, which is really arbitrary. ”

Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Yuan Hao really thinks that the lord wants to send troops to Yanzhou? ”

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "It has been several years since I defected to the lord. The lord is a human being, doesn't Yuan Hao know it? ”

"Although the lord does not read much, he is very intelligent. The grasp of the overall situation is beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

"With the wisdom of the lord, how can you not know that you will send troops to Yanzhou, that is the next policy?"

Tian Feng's heart moved, and he stopped and asked, "Could it be that when today's deliberations were held, the lord was just putting on a show?" ”

Cheng Yu stretched out a finger and said softly: "Silence! ”

He looked around and saw that there was no one else beside him, so he whispered: "The lord has always treated people with kindness and righteousness, and the Qiao clan and the lord have great favors. ”

"When the lord hears the news of the death of the father and son in Qiaodong County, if he is unmoved, what will others think of the lord?"

Cheng Yu said half of his words, and then stopped talking. But in Tian Feng's heart, he already knew what he was going to say.

Chen Xu had long expected that when he proposed to send troops to Yanzhou, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng would speak out against it. That's why he was angry and said that he wanted to avenge Qiao Mao's father and son.

But in Chen Xu's plan, sending troops to merge states at this stage is undoubtedly the best plan.

Although he wanted to avenge the father and son, his reason told him not to act like this. That's why he was in the big tent, and he used Cheng Yu and Tian Feng to play a scene.

Cheng Yu and Tian Feng really did not disappoint him, and the matter of sending troops to Yanzhou was completely refuted by the two. Chen Xu pretended to be suddenly enlightened and gave up attacking Yanzhou.

In this way, the gesture of revenge for Qiao Mao's father and son was also made. Then everyone will not think that he is unsympathetic and does not know how to repay his kindness.

Chen Xu stayed at home, and when he thought of Fang Cai's actions, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Over the years, he has become more and more like a hero. Hypocrisy is an essential quality for the hero.

Whether it is for the future of the Yellow Turban Army or for the more than a million people under his command, he can't be rash.

In the second year of the first peace, that is, in 191 AD.

In Chang'an City, Li Ru took a letter and hurried to find Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was playing with the woman in the backyard, and when he heard that Li Ru came to see him, he was naturally unhappy.

But he also knew that Li Ru was loyal to him, and if there was no major matter, he would not come to disturb him.

Last time, it was Li Ru's strategy to move the capital to Chang'an, which made the vigorous Shandong princes fall apart.

"Hmph, it's a rabble after all."

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo sneered, and was quite disdainful of the princes of Shandong.

After tidying up his clothes, Dong Zhuo came to the living room, looked at Li Ru who was sitting in danger, and said, "Wenyou, you came here today, why did you come here?" ”

"Lord, I received a letter from the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains, they want to surrender to the imperial court and ask for Zhao'an."

Dong Zhuo suddenly heard the news, thinking of his defeat by Zhang Jiao in Guangzong, and couldn't help but say with a hideous face: "That group of anti-thieves still want to recruit An, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Since entering Beijing to control the government and abolishing the Son of Heaven, he has held the power of life and death.

Later, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself a lieutenant, in charge of the affairs of the former general, and added the festival pass, axe, and tiger ben, and changed his title to the marquis of Fengyi. Soon, Dong Zhuo was promoted to Xiangguo, entered the dynasty and did not tend, went to the palace with a sword, and named Dong Zhuo's mother Chiyangjun.

After Dong Zhuo took power, he was cruel and easy to kill, killing good and risking merit, and destroying people at every turn. After a long time, Dong Zhuo's arrogance became even stronger.

He fought in the north and south all his life, and rarely lost. When he was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, Dong Zhuo has always been haunted by it.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army actually asked for Zhao'an, how could he agree?

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru hurriedly said: "Recruiting the Yellow Turban Army is of great benefit to the lord. The lord not only has to accept their recruitment, but also has to reward the Yellow Turban Army. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was stunned and said, "Why? ”

Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, ordinary people may have been scared half to death.

But Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo was very good to his cronies. And as long as what you say can move him, he will not stubbornly disobey advice.

In these aspects, Dong Zhuo is a very good lord.

Li Ru said unhurriedly: "Since the independent prince took control of the government, the world has become more and more chaotic, and the scholars and the people have also complained about the lord. ”

"If the Yellow Turban Army surrenders at this time, it will add a great merit to the lord."

"Think of Chen Xu, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, a young hero, sitting on the 800-mile Taihang Mountain, with many generals under his command, and repeatedly violating states and counties. Even the famous Han general Huangfu Song was defeated and died when he faced him. ”

After that, this person first defeated 50,000 Xianbei people and killed Xianbei Khan and Lian. Then he went to Saiwai and broke through the Xianbei Wangting Danhan Mountain. ”

"It can be said that the Yellow Turban Army of Taihang Mountain is so strong that even when the first emperor was alive, there was nothing he could do about them."

"If they surrender now, wouldn't such a great credit for pacifying the Yellow Turban Army be given to the lord in vain?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said: "Those scholars always say that I am a cholera dynasty, but now that I have quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, whoever dares to chew his tongue again, I will destroy him." ”

Li Ru also had a smile on his face, and continued: "The benefits of recruiting the Yellow Turban Army are far more than that. ”

"Although the princes of Shandong were defeated by the lord and returned to various places, they are still the henchmen of the lord."

Chen Xu said in his letter that the Qiaodong County clan had great kindness to him. Qiaodong County is dedicated to the country, but he doesn't want to die tragically at the hands of Liu Dai. In his opinion, the princes of Shandong are all wolf ambitions and people who sell their reputations. ”

"He also said that if the lord accepts the recruitment of the Yellow Turban Army and makes him the pastor of the state, he will definitely help the lord guard the gate of Liangzhou and sweep away the princes of Shandong."

"No one knows how strong the strength of the Yellow Turban Army of Taihang Mountain is. But there is no doubt about their strength. ”

"If Chen Xu can really fight with the princes, even if he can't win, it will definitely make the Shandong princes exhausted and have no intention of being enemies of the lord."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he patted his thigh, the fat on his face shook a few times, and he laughed and said, "Okay, great!" ”

Then he asked: "In Wenyou's opinion, what kind of official position is better for Chen Wenzhao?" ”

Li Ru thought for a moment and said: "Chen Wenzhao wants to seek the position of governor of the state, which shows that he is bound to win the state. If the lord does not agree to his request, I am afraid that this person must be resentful. ”

"The state is desolate, and the forces within the territory are complicated, so it is not easy to control. Even if Feng Chen Wenzhao took the state, it would be difficult to threaten the lord. ”

"In addition, Bingzhou is the gateway to Liangzhou, and with Chen Wenzhao here, he can also block the edge of the princes of Shandong for the lord."

"In my opinion, and the position of state pastor, the lord can give it to Chen Wenzhao."

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo nodded. Although he received the position of governor of the state, it has always been a false title.

Lü Bu killed Ding Yuan and led many Bingzhou troops to defect to Dong Zhuo. But the current merger of states is still not controlled by Dong Zhuo.

Li Ru continued: "With just the title of Governor of the Prefecture, I'm afraid it won't be enough to make Chen Wenzhao grateful to the lord. The lord might as well be more generous, and make him the general of the expedition to the north and lead the Marquis of Jinyang. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru showed a sinister smile on his face.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw Li Ru's smile. He knew that every time Li Ru showed this smile, someone would be unlucky.

"General Zhengbei commanded You, Hebei, and the three states. Now there are Yuan Shao and Han Fu in Jizhou; Youzhou has Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan. If Chen Wenzhao accepts this position, he will definitely be jealous of those people. ”

"Yuan Benchu seems to be open-minded, but he is actually narrow-minded. His current position is nothing more than Bohai Taishou and Lingyi Township. ”

"If he knew that a rebel leader would become his superior, he would be jealous in his heart. In this way, it is easy for the two sides to break into conflict. ”

"With the title of General of Zhengbei, as long as Chen Wenzhao has some ambitions, after obtaining the annexation of the state, he will definitely plot against Youzhou and Hebei."

"At that time, the lord only needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he will no longer have to worry about the princes of Shandong."

Li Ru outlined a bright prospect, but did not confuse Dong Zhuo, he asked out loud: "What if Chen Wenzhao sees through your plan and doesn't attack Youzhou and Jizhou?" ”

Li Ru said indifferently: "The lord doesn't have to worry at all, even if Chen Wenzhao doesn't attack Youzhou and Jizhou, he will definitely attack Yanzhou." ”

"The Qiao clan has a great kindness to him, according to past intelligence analysis, this person values love and righteousness, and will definitely avenge Qiaodong County."

"If Chen Wenzhao takes Yanzhou, he will definitely clash with Cao Cao and Liu Dai. No matter what aspect it is, Chen Wenzhao can drag the princes of Shandong for the lord. ”

"Besides, even if he doesn't take Jizhou, with Yuan Shaozhi's pride, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not attack Jizhou."

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he turned his worries into joy and said, "In this way, according to what Wenyou said." ”
