When Dong Zhuo woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw the hall of the Longdu Mansion where people came and went...... Officials in cotton uniforms come and go, and the machinery of Liangguo, a country that is no less than the Han Dynasty of the three states directly under the central government, is running wildly.

The hall of the Longdu Mansion is very large, and it accommodates more than ten official rooms for the officials of Liangguo, which is the center of all government affairs of Liangguo.

And Dong Zhuo was lying in the hall in armor abruptly, and the drowsiness of falling from the horse last night had not yet dissipated, but none of the officials passing around cast a strange look at him. There wasn't a single guard around, and he wasn't tied with ropes...... This is a little different from Dong Zhuo's imagination.

Suddenly, a young official walked straight to him, holding warm tea and said with a smile: "Dong Yuanjun is awake?" Would you like to drink some warm soup? ”

"No!" Dong Zhuo frowned, seeing that everyone was a little defensive, he hurriedly got up and asked, "Where is Ma Yue?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Liang is waiting for you inside." The official was not surprised by Dong Zhuo's horizontal eyebrows, and still turned around with a professional smile and pointed to the innermost official room and said with a smile: "When you wake up, go and see you." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, looking around cautiously while frowning and walking inside. This was the first time he had come to the Longdu official office, and everything here was so strange to him. This kind of situation of hundreds of officials crammed into a single official temple to handle government affairs was rare, and he had not seen such a situation in at least ten years. It feels like he has returned to his youth, when he first made military exploits, he went to Luoyang as a lang, and was later valued by Yuan Kui as a subordinate of Yuan's mansion. At that time, it was like this, and I didn't feel bored when I was buried in the first case all day long.

Now it seems that the treatment of the officials of the Liang State is much better than that of the Han Dynasty, but all the officials of the government have cotton official clothes and winter clothes in winter, at least they will not be shivering from the cold.

"What's the name of the Jiuquan Taishou who went to the Western Regions with you?" When he walked to the door of the void, he heard Ma Yue's voice, and there seemed to be a lot of people gathered inside, so he heard Ma Yue say, "Su is it, right?" What is his resume, he has served as a Taishou, you have worked with him for ten years, and his ability is as good as ...... Hey, Brother Zhong, you're awake, sit here, wait a while. What is he capable of? ”

Ma Yue didn't look a little surprised or surprised when he saw Dong Zhuo pushing the door in, he just beckoned to Dong Zhuo to sit down with a few cases beside him, and then turned his head to Ma Yu and said: "The position of the protector of the Western Regions is the most important thing for the Liang Kingdom, whether we can use the vast land and many countries in the Western Regions for our use, it is all in this official position." Most of the protectors of the Western Regions need to be accepted by the people of the Western Regions, and they must be trusted by the people of the Western Regions, so that our systems and policies can be better implemented in the Western Regions, this position is very important! ”

"Yes, Su Ze is still widely respected in the Western Regions, and he has a lot of credit for being able to win the pacification of twenty-seven countries." Ma Yu nodded and said: "In the overall situation, Su is far superior to the lower and is upright, and I think Su is enough to be promoted to the protector of the Western Regions...... Moreover, with the credit for pacifying the Western Regions, Su is worthy of the official position of the protector of the Western Regions. ”

"Hmm...... In this way, then you will send a message to Su Ze on my behalf, and the Western Regions will protect the capital, and it will be determined that it is him! "Actually, Ma Yue wanted Ma Dai or Ma Chao to guard the Western Regions, that place was too important, but Ma Yue's single-mindedness made him change his mind. Letting go of his thoughts, he turned his head to Dong Zhuo and smiled: "Brother Zhong, what did you tell Xiao Qing'er when he went to your house yesterday?" This kid went back and said that I wanted to hurt him, and he was talking about borrowing a knife to kill people or something. ”

Dong Zhuo looked at Ma Yue, if Ma Yue didn't care about his rebellion last night, it was a fart, and he didn't see a guard with a knife when he looked around, he really didn't believe that Ma Yue could put him in the official temple without warning. Although he was worried, he didn't want to be the first to ask, so he had to say: "What can Dong say to him, it's just to talk about some old things." ”

"Hey, my kid isn't worry-free, and he even said that I was scheming!" Ma Yue smiled nonchalantly, sat on the chair with his head in one hand, raised his hand to Dong Zhuo, pointed to the tea brewed on a few cases and said, "Brother Zhong, try it, the tea cakes sent by Zhang Lu taste good." ”

Dong Zhuo didn't drink tea either, but just sat there with his head bored for a long time before he looked up and asked, "What about Dong's brothers?" ”

and state troops.

"Don't worry, not many people died, Ah Ruo took you to the head of the city, and the defenders all surrendered as soon as they came out." Ma Yue wrenched his fingers and calculated: "There may be more than two hundred casualties, and the rest will be taken into custody and sent back to Bingzhou in a few days, Brother Zhong doesn't have to worry." ”

Dong Zhuo heard that Ma Yue didn't kill them all, and finally a big stone fell in his heart, and at this time he also brightened, raised his head and said to Ma Yue: "Okay San Lang, Dong has done everything, and it's up to you to kill or chop." ”

As he spoke, Dong Zhuo picked up the tea, took a sip of the cow, and got up with an expression of slaughter.

"Eh, brother, what are you talking about, don't make such a death-defying expression and make it difficult for people to end." Ma Yue got up and grabbed Dong Zhuo, pointed to the door and said, "If you want to go, you can leave now, there is no guard within a radius of five miles, I am serious...... My son was right, the brothers lost their temper, and they reconciled. ”

"You're not going to kill me?" Dong Zhuo was stunned, could it be that this Ma Yue could really listen to a child's words, just fight so quietly, and reconcile so quietly?

"I'm serious, don't mention whether you kill or not, even if you attack the palace last night, can you really kill me?" Ma Yue looked at Dong Zhuo with obvious pride on his face, and asked with a smile, "Can you?" ”

At this time, who in the world can kill Ma Yue? Not to mention anything else, the 27,000 registered merchants in Longdu will raise the banner of rebellion, and the ten guards around each merchant will be a huge army of 200,000. Who dares to kill Ma Yue? Ma Yue, the king of Liang, is the only prince in the world who faces the merchants, and the benefactor of the merchants in the world, who dares to kill Ma Yue at this time, it is to cut off the wealth of the merchants in the world.

The merchants of this era are a group of outlaws. Whenever the Han Dynasty faced a major battle, there were not enough soldiers, so the prisoners and pawns and traders in the big prison would be filled into the army and go to the battlefield to fight for the death...... Only Ma Yue did not take their lives as a child's play, but created a city for them to support the mutual market of merchants and merchants. Although they can't think about change and can't die bravely, a grateful heart is true.

In the same way, the merchants also understood that it was their blessing to meet such a prince.

The Liang country is getting richer and stronger, and the Western Regions have been through the past few years, and there has been no military affairs, and the extensive accumulation of money and grain has made the Liang people grateful to Ma Yue. Inside and out, even the emperor didn't dare to execute Ma Yue even if he was afraid.

Dong Zhuo was also stunned.

Faced with Ma Yue's question, he didn't know how to answer. He asked himself, did Lao Tzu really want to kill Ma Yue? He didn't know.

The emotions of indignation and uneasiness are definitely there, but has he ever thought about killing Ma Yue? I'm afraid, never, no!

"Okay, Brother Zhong, don't think about it so much. Since things have passed, they have passed. But since the knife killed someone, it can't be without a little explanation. Ma Yue patted Dong Zhuo's shoulder, arched his hand indifferently, pointed to the door and clapped his hands and said, "Take out the Jue Yin." Brother Zhong, in addition to such a thing, the governor of Bingzhou is definitely gone, and the person who will take over is already on the way, and it is estimated that he has entered the territory of Bingzhou at this time. But don't be disappointed, it's better to be in the wilderness at a good age. I have prepared for you the seal of the Marquis of Lintao, which can be regarded as a return to the hometown, but do you have any objections? ”

At this time, is it too late to ask people if they have objections?

What else can Dong Zhuo say, this is already a very good result for him, he looked at Ma Yue deeply, took the seal, and then said to Ma Yue with some gratitude: "Thank you." ”

What else can you say when you get this step in the field?

Dong Zhuo shook his head, walked out of the official temple with some amazement, and raised his head The noon sun was just right, as if it was about to melt the winter chill.

When Dong Zhuo had gone far, Ma Yue closed the door and said to a few Liangguo generals: "You guys come and see, Cao Mengde invited me to send troops to Jizhou at this time, bypassing Tongguan and attacking Yecheng directly from Bingzhou...... What's going on? ”

Dong Zhuo's previous proposal was to cross the mountains and mountains from Bingzhou, directly attack Jizhou and Youzhou, and pocket all the most vast land in the north...... Ma Yue did not agree, and just this morning, Liang received a letter of help from Luoyang, Cao Cao hoped that Ma Yue would send troops from Bingzhou and attack Gongsun Chan with his soldiers and horses, hoping that most of the coalition army would break through Yecheng in one fell swoop, so that Gongsun Chan had no way to escape.

For this battle, Cao Cao can be said to have been planning for a long time, and at this time, Liu He and Yan Rou in the north were already full-fledged and ready to set foot on Gongsun...... In the blink of an eye, Dong Zhuo's proposal for unsatisfactory battle turned out to be very favorable.

"If Dong Zhongying didn't rebel, how good it would be." Ma Yu sighed and said what everyone didn't dare to say. If Dong Zhuo did not rebel, with his proposal in front and Cao Cao's request for help in the back, it was inevitable that Liang Guo would send troops. But now that Dong Zhuo has rebelled, and Jia Xu has taken over as the state pastor, things will be different, and it will take time for Jia Xu to take over Dong Zhuo's old department, all of which is not so simple and stable.

Thinking about it, Ma Yu still waved his hand as quickly as he could: "Your Majesty, whether you go on this expedition or not, your subordinates don't want to go out to fight anymore." Expedition to the Western Regions ......"

"Needless to say, I won't ask you to go this time, don't worry." Ma Yue glanced at Ma Yue, but just waved his hand to interrupt Ma Play. Ma Play for his westward expedition for more than ten years, has been delayed for a long time, according to Ma Play's pleasure-loving nature will say this sentence sooner or later, he has already prepared in his heart, and then Shen Shen said: "Since Meng De is invited, how much you have to give some face, Ma Play, you erect a recruitment flag on my behalf to send an order to the generals of all departments, mobilize 30,000 troops, and cover 10,000 armor." ”

Ma Yue turned around and walked out, "It's just right, passing through Bingzhou, I also want to deter Wenhe and Bingzhou, so that they can calm down and don't make any trouble." This time, Ma went out in person! ”
