"It's a deal."

Dong Zhuo was satisfied with the tea and snacks on the table and wanted to put them in his mouth.

However, Yuan Ji suddenly stretched out a hand to stop him.

"Wait."

Yuan Ji's sunny smile made Dong Zhuo a little confused So, he looked at Yuan Ji with some doubts, just let himself enjoy tea and snacks, and now he won't let himself eat?

Yuan Ji removed the refreshments from the table and put them aside, allowing the servants serving on the side to serve another refreshment.

"Showdown."

Yuan Ji's smile did not decrease, but Dong Zhuo looked like he was smiling at him like a demon.

"We're allies now, and I won't let you eat that refreshment just now because it was poisoned."

Dong Zhuo's expression froze, and the hand that had just been stretched out in excitement immediately retracted.

Yuan Ji, this guy......

Dong Zhuo suddenly didn't know how he should evaluate Yuan Ji, he had already prepared something, just waiting for himself to come, but the prepared thing had already been poisoned, it seemed that he was indeed ready to turn his face if he didn't talk properly?

Dong Zhuo thought about Yuan Ji's situation from another perspective.

Now that he has entered Luoyang with a large army, he has strong military strength, and if he fights desperately, he can really kill Yuan Ji in Luoyang City.

So Yuan Ji is ready to deal with himself, and there is no problem.

But Dong Zhuo always felt weird.

After all, when facing Yuan Ji, that sense of insecurity skyrocketed.

This situation is very difficult to encounter in a battlefield veteran like him, and if he has the opportunity, he really doesn't mind slaughtering Yuan Ji.

Of course, there have to be opportunities.

He also needs the influence of the Yuan family in the government and the opposition now, to help him use the skill of King Qin's rescue this time to ascend to a high position, and then use the forces of the Yuan family in secret to stabilize the situation in Luoyang and firmly control the power in his own hands.

"Here, here's a new refreshment, good."

Yuan Ji smiled like a big boy next door, very naturally, as if he was sharing his favorite things with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was stunned and didn't dare to take refreshments to eat.

"Okay."

Yuan Ji did not sell his refreshments to Dong Zhuo anymore, but began to seriously talk to Dong Zhuo about the content of the cooperation.

"The forces of the Yuan family up and down the government and the opposition will cooperate with your actions and help you stabilize your high position, but I won't give you the list, and I won't tell you who my Yuan family's people are."

Yuan Ji pinched a piece of tea by himself, tasted it slowly, chewed it slowly, gentle and elegant, looked like a gentle gentleman's food, and was very personable.

In front of him, Dong Zhuo would be dwarfed and feel very rude.

"Moreover, you yourself know your image and reputation, that brother is the original, will be the façade of my Yuan family on the table, he is the eldest son of my Yuan family, he is a decent person, I hope he can become a model in the world, this point, I need your cooperation."

"Act more, don't act badly, the original bloody Fang Gang, sometimes if there is a real conflict with Brother Zhong Ying, please also take care of Brother Zhong Ying, and my Yuan family will compensate you."

Yuan Ji's posture is not high, but the words he said have an attitude that Dong Zhuo cannot refuse.

"Okay."

Dong Zhuo did not hesitate and agreed.

"But your Yuan family must help me stabilize the government, I need to use people, you can't shirk it."

"That's it, I'll take my leave today."

Dong Zhuo really didn't want to stay in this courtyard for long, and wanted to get up and leave with Li Ru.

But Yuan Ji suddenly called Dong Zhuo again.

"Brother Zhong Ying, wait a minute."

Yuan Ji's smile bloomed again, to be honest, it was hard to imagine that someone who could smile so brightly would be so terrible.

He reached out from under the table and took out the plate of refreshments that he said had been poisoned, picked a snack from it at random, put it in his mouth in front of Dong Zhuo, and chewed it in a big gulp.

"Brother Zhongying, your courage is no longer what it used to be."

"Hahahaha."

Dong Zhuo shook his head helplessly, turned around and took Li Ru out of Yuan's house, leaving Yuan Ji alone in the courtyard in a daze, he stopped smiling, sat back in his seat, and slowly tasted the refreshments by himself.

In the courtyard of the Yuan family, a sigh can often be heard, and the emotions in the sigh are very complicated, but more often than not, maybe it is still lonely and lonely.

Coming out of Yuan's house, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru got into the carriage and headed out of the city, and they would bring the second batch of troops into the city early tomorrow morning, and Dong Zhuo still had to do the ceremony of entering the city himself.

Because the people who arrived around Luoyang at this time were not only Dong Zhuo.

Beidi Taishou Ding Yuan from Beidi, Yu Fuluo, the remnant of the Xiongnu who returned from Youzhou, and the Baibo army that has been entrenched in Hedong.

In this life, the Baibo army is steady and steady, and it seems that it wants to develop well in Hedong, absorb armaments, and then go straight to Luoyang.

And because of the early death of Emperor Ling, Luoyang was in chaos, no one would care about them at all, the Sili area was in chaos, and Liu Bei, the assassin of the state, was separated from the party, and he would not come to Hedong to pay attention to it, and Bai Bojun did not stimulate Liu Bei's thoughts.

These foreign forces are also coming towards Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo must show enough strength and posture to become the most ruthless of the dragons crossing the river.

Not all of the hundreds of thousands of troops have already arrived in Luoyang and entered the city to garrison.

I received the news before, the ten permanent servants made a move, He Jin was killed, and Dong Zhuo arrived first with the core team.

Now that the Xiliang army has arrived at the border of Luoyang and will be brought into Luoyang tomorrow, Dong Zhuo will have nothing to fear.

The two got into the car one after the other.

After being silent for a moment, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked Li Ru.

"Wen You, what do you think of Yuan Ji?"

Li Ru didn't answer directly, but thought about his observation of Yuan Ji, just before leaving, he also looked back at Yuan Ji a few times, what he saw in Yuan Ji was the smell of sadness and madness, which was completely different from his appearance.

After thinking about it, he didn't make a judgment, but asked Dong Zhuo rhetorically.

"What does my father-in-law think?"

"He's a madman!"

Dong Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly, a little helpless that he would meet such a person, and a little distressed that there were not many ways to deal with this person.

"I worked with him, and he was able to use himself as bait to lure the rebels into his trap. In order to convince the rebels that he was really cornered, he also allowed himself to be shot in the back, who do you say would do that? In other words, anyone can do that, but he, the eldest son of the Yuan family and the heir of a big family, doesn't need to do that. ”

"But he just did it, and he didn't ask for credit after that, but lowered his sense of existence, and then I knew how terrible this person was."

Li Ru tasted the situation in Dong Zhuo's words.

After thinking about it, he shook his head as well.

It was impossible for him to let himself be used as a decoy to attract enemy troops, that would be too dangerous and not in line with Li Ru's positioning for himself.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

He couldn't.

Maybe Yuan Ji is indeed a madman, but he is also a calm madman, he should have a plan, so according to the current power of the Yuan family, what can make him plot may be......

Li Ru lifted the curtain of the car.

Just as the carriage passed outside the palace, his eyes looked at the palace, and he knew it in his heart.

However, there is a kind of person in this world.

The heart is higher than the sky, and life is thinner than paper.

It's not that they don't have the ability, but they haven't thought about the simplest reality, Li Ru put down the curtain and closed his eyes, he has already thought about how to deal with Yuan Ji in his heart.

"Indeed."

Li Ruying said to Dong Zhuo.

"This alliance will definitely break down within a year, and when the time comes, it will be enough to just start directly."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words and felt a little strange, just after the alliance was formed, Li Ru directly asserted that the alliance would inevitably break down within a year, which always felt a little strange.

"Can we make it then?"

asked Li Ru a little humbly, Dong Zhuo still seems to have achieved his dream.

Li Ru nodded slowly, his modest eyes flashing with a keen and intelligent light.

"As long as my father-in-law stays in good shape, we will win."

"As for Yuan Ji, when the time comes, as long as you find a reason, you can directly kill him."

"Although the Yuan family's former officials have a large sphere of influence, as long as the Yuan family is eradicated with lightning speed, then the Yuan family's former officials will naturally disperse as birds and beasts if they do not have the backbone of gathering."

Li Ru's words were a little harsh, but they were very true.

No matter how great Yuan Ji's strategy and ambition are, he can't stop the sharp sword.

With Lu Bu and Xiliang generals in hand, Dong Zhuo doesn't have to worry about not being able to kill him.

In his previous life, he was indeed like this, Yuan Ji, who stayed in Luoyang and wanted to control the world in secret, was just after Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo seized the opportunity and directly followed his uncle Yuan Kui's family with dozens of people to pull out and cut it down.

It turns out that in the face of knives and guns, no matter how good a brain is, it is useless.

Archimedes gave a thumbs up.

Many scholars gave a thumbs up.

But this time, maybe the plot won't be as smooth and silky as in the previous life.

Because the black shadow that had disappeared in the capital for a long time was in the Yuan family at this time.

Night owls, oh no, they should be called night geese now.

I don't know what Wang Yue thinks, the original non-mainstream nickname was directly replaced by an earthy nickname, and he should be awarded the title of the worst nickname.

Maybe no one knows that the night owl under Liu Hong at the beginning will now become a guest of the Yuan family.

Yuan Ji's ambition is indeed more than just one city and one place.

Of course, no one else knows this news for the time being, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don't know that they have another big master, if they know, the two of them may become ......

Super brave!

It may be possible to directly fly the dragon and ride the face angrily, and it is possible to dry Dong Zhuo angrily.

After this night, the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo no longer had any private contact and communication, but everything went smoothly according to their plan.

Dong Zhuo successfully ascended to the position of general of the cavalry with the merit of saving the driver, but directly took the position of Zhang Wen before.

However, he actually said that it was a merit, and it was better to say that it was the Xiliang army that was stationed outside the city, and the power brought by the iron cavalry stationed in the city and often galloping and patrolling in the city.

This time, Dong Zhuo's idea of abolishing the young emperor got up earlier and wanted to implement it quickly.

However, he did not directly invite a banquet to the hundred officials, but now his staff has discussed the possibility of abolishing the young emperor and setting up a new emperor.

Of course, this kind of news will not be circulated in theory, but in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, it has been spread all over that Dong Zhuo wants to abolish the young emperor and set up a new emperor, and there is even the possibility of trespassing.

This rumor came from nowhere, but it spread faster than anything else.

Dong Zhuo was a little annoyed, and he also thoroughly investigated the family composition and behavioral loopholes of all the members of the staff group, but it had no effect, and he couldn't find the source of the rumors, so he could only get angry, and ordered people to strictly prohibit rumors, and Xiliang Tieqi had to listen to the content of other people's conversations when patrolling the streets.

It's a bit ridiculous, especially since the more you don't want people to know, the faster it will spread.

For a time, public opinion in the capital was boiling, and Ding Yuan and other departments outside the city also moved.

Do Liu Bei and Chen Chen know this news?

They know it.

Because this news was released by Chen Chen in Luoyang.

"Sir, are you really sure that Dong Zhongying has this kind of thought?"

Liu Bei's brows furrowed, and he asked Chen Chen with some confusion.

He now knew that he had no need to send troops south.

But today's young emperor Liu Wei, although Liu Bei has not met him, but that is also the heir of the first emperor Liu Hong himself, which symbolizes the inheritance of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, how can this inheritance be interfered with by a foreign minister?

If you want to do it, you have to be a member of the clan to do it, right?

Liu Bei shook his head, and he seemed to have an idea that he shouldn't have.

Chen Chen didn't know where to grab a feather fan, slowly fanned it, bringing a cool breeze to himself, and paused before answering Liu Bei.

"He has."

seemed to feel that what he said was a little too arbitrary, and Chen Chen added another sentence.

"Even if he didn't, he has it now."

Liu Bei shook his head again, Mr. is getting worse and worse.

Is this the role of public opinion warfare?

Loved, loved.

Liu Bei began to discover the power of this special unit that Mr. had handed over to Yan Ren before.

Although this unit really has no combat effectiveness in the war, and it still needs to consume military salaries, it seems that at this special time, this kind of unit can make a lot of contributions.

If Chen Chen wanted to know that Liu Bei was so shocked now, he would definitely tell him with a smile that you have seen too few things.

The real role of the land navy is not just to spread rumors.

This is not really a public opinion war yet.

"That's right."

Liu Bei put down the information in his hand, and on it was the information on the strength and scale of the forces of the parties involved in the Luoyang incident that his subordinates had explored through various channels, which clearly marked the number of generals and troops that Dong Zhuo brought to Luoyang this time.

Chen Chen naturally saw Lu Bu's name.

But he didn't admit that this guy let him go on his own.

Although he is the butterfly that entered this world from another time and space, but sometimes, the fate of fate is moving forward steadily, and there are some things that are coincidental and not easily changed by external forces.

If there is a big change in some parts of the world, it is the butterfly effect that you came here.

If there are some things in this world that have not changed much, it is the fixed forward movement of the life track in numerology, no wonder Chen Chen does not work hard.

This found an excellent excuse for Chen Chen to comfort himself.

Wonderful!

The question that Liu Bei suddenly reacted to was also related to the situation on the information he saw.

He turned his head to Chen Chen and asked his question.

"If we go head-to-head with Dong Zhongying now, can we beat him?"

Liu Bei sent out a question from his soul.

Now Bingzhou has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, even if some garrisons in the Taihang Mountains and Yunzhong Yanmen cannot be mobilized, but the number of soldiers who can be sent to Luoyang to fight can also reach 100,000.

The soldiers who have been trained and trained for so long can they beat the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops under Dong Zhuo?

Chen Chen smiled embarrassedly.

That's a good question!

That's a wonderful question!

Why are you Liu Xuande so much to do?

"There is one thing to say."

"We really can't beat Dong Feifei now."

Although it is not very comfortable to admit that one's military strength is not as good as others, it is not okay not to admit it.

I have to make it clear to Liu Bei.

Failure to do so may have two consequences.

First, Liu Bei may have swelled because he experienced two big victories in the Xianbei War and the Xiongnu War, and felt that he was invincible in the world.

Second, if Liu Bei feels that there is no problem and has to run into Dong Feifei, then in terms of hard power, the state must pay a great price, and it may not be able to win.

Third, this is the consequence of losing, and the self-confidence of the state army in fighting against foreign races before may also be directly defeated.

Although Bingzhou is also one of the best sources of soldiers, there is still a gap compared to Xiliang.

Chen's skills are not enough to close the gap in four years.

You must know that the soldiers of the Xiliang Army have fought many more vicious battles and big battles than the Bingzhou Army, and it is a big team pulled by Dong Zhuo's and urine.

The current Bingzhou Army has strength, but it is still too tender.

As for why this new army can win the Xianbei and Xiongnu so easily.

Sorry, the signal here is not good, you ask again?

Xianbei people?

Huns?

Can they call it an army?

Any team in the three border states that is organized and organized and led by excellent generals will not be able to defeat the aliens, and it is generally the aliens who call them father.

"Xuande Gong, don't think about going to fight with Dong Feifei now."

"It's better to wait for the dust to settle down, come out and hold high the banner, and crusade against Dong Zhuo."
