When the news of the fall of Liangzhou reached Luoyang, all the courtiers were frightened.

Most of the civil officials were trembling, afraid that the traitors in Liangzhou would be out of control, and they would directly attack Luoyang City. The generals were worried day and night, afraid that they would be sent to the front line by the eldest prince and Empress He, and finally fail miserably, end up dying in a different place, and would be called an incompetent mediocre talent.

At this time, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to ask for help, which undoubtedly made the ministers who frowned slowly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they also felt a trace of gratitude to Dong Zhuo in their hearts.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's prestige in the court at this time has skyrocketed, and even the ministers who stood on the opposite side of Dong Zhuo before secretly gave Dong Zhuo a thumbs up: Dong Xiangguo's move is to put the Han in the middle of fire and water!

And Dong Zhuo himself, the day after he went to the court that day, Dong Zhuo did not go directly to the barracks to transfer troops, but came to the General's Mansion in full view of everyone.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's unexpected arrival, He Jin frowned, and asked vigilantly: "General Dong is about to send troops, I don't know what you have to do today to come to my General's Mansion?" ”

Dong Zhuo laughed: "Hahaha...... General He's words are a little rusty, you and I are both military generals, and we have fought bloodily for my Han for many years, can't you come to visit General He? ”

He Jin was suddenly puzzled, and he didn't know what medicine Dong Zhuo was selling in this gourd: "General Dong said that he laughed, He didn't mean it." It's just that General Dong is about to go to the barracks, so he should go to the barracks. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Dong Zhuo shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time since I last came to the Great General's Mansion!" It was when I had just returned to Luoyang, and Dong had a very happy conversation with General He! ”

He Jin was even more puzzled at this time, he invited Dong Zhuo to his mansion at the beginning, but later because Dong Zhuo basically took refuge in Zhang Rang's party, the two had no contact except for the court, and at this time, Dong Zhuo must have ulterior motives when he mentioned this matter, but he still couldn't understand what Dong Zhuo wanted to do!

"Hehehe......" Seeing that He Jin was no longer silent, Dong Zhuo smiled and continued: "It's just that later Dong was really ashamed, he was really confused, and he actually got closer and closer to Zhang Rangyi and others, resulting in an increasingly shallow relationship with the general, which is really the fault of the old man!" ”

Uh, is he trying to make peace? Want to join us? He Jin felt a burst of contempt in his heart at this time, you Dong Zhuo regret it now, is it comfortable to be forced to return to Liangzhou to fight?

Of course, of course, He Jin will not say anything at this time, after all, Dong Zhuo is still in charge of the Liangzhou army, and the prestige of the DPRK and China is quite high, and he will soon go to Liangzhou to lead troops to fight for the Han Dynasty, it is not easy to offend at this time, not to mention that he intends to reconcile, as the so-called one less enemy and one more friend.

So He Jin smiled: "General Dong's words are wrong! There are many civil and military officials above the court, and it is inevitable that there will be disagreements in some small things, but most of them are inconsequential small things, and the most important thing is that everyone is working hard to serve my big man, which is the most important thing! ”

"What General He said is very true, Dong also regrets what he did before, if I didn't go back to Luoyang and continue to take the lead in Liangzhou, it must not be today's situation! Hey......" Dong Zhuo sighed.

"General Dong doesn't have to mind, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and one accidentally will be defeated and killed, and General Dong's return to Luoyang is not a bad thing, the key is that General Dong will show his skills later. If General Dong returns triumphantly next time, then he must come to my mansion to sit down! He Jin thought about it, Dong Zhuo is in a high position after all, if he can pull it, he can pull it! Anyway, I don't suffer a loss, of course, this kind of person who goes back on his word still has to be careful.

"Hahaha......" Dong Zhuo laughed: "Definitely, definitely, then Dong Mou thanked the general in advance." ”

After chatting for a while, Dong Zhuo retired.

After Dong Zhuo left, He Jin sighed: "Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang, dare to go against me, or you will be finished in a short time, hahaha......"

……

The next day, Dong Zhuo actually came to the General's Mansion in full view of everyone.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's arrival again, He Jin had some doubts in his heart, and it was not until Dong Zhuo explained his intention that he began to be relieved.

"I have long known that General He is resourceful and uses soldiers like a god, Dong came here today to discuss with General He the strategy in my heart to break the enemy, in case there are mistakes on the battlefield." Dong Zhuo was still a little suspicious when he saw He Jin, so he explained his intention directly.

And He Jin frowned at this time and said, "General Dong, please speak." ”

"The war in Liangzhou is now very dangerous, Liangzhou has been broken, Xihai, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Dunhuang and other five counties have been captured, only Jincheng and Xiping counties are left to hold on. At this time, the Liangzhou traitors are concentrating their forces to attack our Jincheng, I think it is because the terrain of Xiping is dangerous, to the west is the land of Xiqiang, if it is forcibly captured, it will definitely break the enemy by 1,000, and lose 800 from itself, and if it is the first to capture my Jincheng, then Xiping will be isolated and self-defeating, not to mention that Jincheng has a large population, convenient transportation, compared with Xiping, it can be described as an extremely rich land, if it is captured first, it can also replenish the troops, this is a double kill! "Dong Zhuo's analysis of the war in Liangzhou is the first to say.

And He Jin exclaimed at this time: "I didn't expect this Liangzhou traitor to be so cunning, I don't know what General Dong's plan is?" ”

Dong Zhuo smiled: "After all, Jincheng is a rich place for my Han Dynasty, and the army is quite strong, if you want to come to Liangzhou if the traitors want to break through, it will still take some time, and what Dong thinks is that the two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei in Liangzhou are quite close to Yongzhou, why not ask Yongzhou for help, start from Yongzhou, and attack the traitor's Wuwei County." ”

He Jin asked suspiciously: "Why not Jincheng, it should be the Jincheng war at this time." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled: "It is precisely because of the tight war in Jincheng that the forces of the Liangzhou traitors must be concentrated in Jincheng, and at this time, the mighty forces, thinking that the troops are tired, why don't I take advantage of the weakness to enter, break through the mighty county in one fell swoop, and then immediately go west, and join forces with Xiping, which will definitely be able to hit the Liangzhou traitors hard." ”

He Jin suddenly realized at this time and praised: "I see, General Dong is really strategic!" If so, in the pursuit of victory, the recovery of Liangzhou is just around the corner! He Jin was very happy at this time, he was not wrong about one thing, Dong Zhuo is indeed a talent in the military, if so, not only can he recover Liangzhou, but Dong Zhuo may also become a big help for him, it is really wonderful!

"Hahaha......" Dong Zhuo also laughed: "It seems that the general also agrees very much, then Dong will fight like this, but this is a military secret, and General He must keep it secret." ”

He Jin nodded: "Don't worry!" I know that the stakes are very important at this time, and it will not be spread out, so He Mou just waited for General Dong to return triumphantly. ”

"Since this is the case, then Dong will take his leave, and tomorrow he will lead the troops to Yongzhou." After speaking, Dong Zhuo dismissed.

……

At the same time, Dong Zhuo's two consecutive visits to He Jin's Mansion in the past two days were also spread in the court, which couldn't help but surprise everyone.

If Dong Zhuo visited him once, everyone would be a little curious, curious about what they talked about when they didn't deal with each other. And if Dong Zhuo didn't go to Zhang Rang in the past two days, but went to He Jin twice, this turned everyone's curiosity into suspicion, wondering if Dong Zhuo fell to He Jin and others because he was about to lead the troops to the battle.

On the day Dong Zhuo visited He Jin for the second time, a new guest came to Luoyang City.

At this time, the south gate of Luoyang City.

A man with a silver spear in his hand and a yellow-brown horse was about to enter the city gate. The man was dressed plainly, but in fact he was not an ordinary person's clothes, he was a head taller than the average person, very thick, his complexion was burnt, not handsome, but his face was extremely clean, and his eyes revealed a little deep gaze, and he was also a majestic man.

"You must not carry a sword with you when you enter the city." Seeing that the man was about to enter the city, the guards at the city gate immediately stopped him and said vigilantly.

The man looked at the guard, was slightly stunned, and took out a copper token from his arms with some displeasure, and scolded: "Bold, I am a subordinate of the original assassin of Shi Dingyuan, and General Zhang Liao of Wei is also!" ”

Seeing the copper token in Zhang Liao's hand, the guard was immediately frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and whispered: "Little damn it, I don't know if General Wei is coming, and I hope General Wei will forgive his sins." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, he wanted to beat this guard, but he thought that before he came to Luoyang, Ding Yuan told him to come to Luoyang to keep a low profile, and do what Zhang Rang commanded seriously.

Ding Yuan didn't tell him what he was going to do, but he probably guessed that it shouldn't be something that could be seen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao didn't look back, and walked straight into the city, leaving the other guards to look at each other.

……

Many people are puzzled by Dong Zhuo's two visits to He Jin, including Zhao Zhong and Zhang Yang.

Although Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, as a military general, his mind was not so heavy, thinking that Dong Zhuo should have urgent matters related to the war in Liangzhou! He regretted very much in his heart, Zhang Liao hadn't come yet, Dong Zhuo was going to leave Luoyang, and even if Zhang Liao assassinated He Jin, it was estimated that no one would be able to take the Luoyang military power in his hands, and it was estimated that it would be snatched by Queen He at that time. Ay! I don't know if Zhang Rang will carry out this assassination in the end.

And Zhao Zhong was a little annoyed in his heart, he was not as open-minded as Zhang Yang, he just thought that if Dong Zhuo really took refuge in Zhang Rangyi and others, it would be extremely unfavorable to our side!

So, after Zhao Zhong became suspicious, he immediately hurriedly found Zhang Rang.

As soon as Zhao Zhong arrived at the room where Zhang Rang was, he saw that Zhang Rang was not the only one inside, but also a subordinate. But he thought about it, this person should be Zhang Rang's subordinate, so he directly asked him Dong Zhuo: "Lord Zhang, do you know what Dong Zhuo has done in the past two days?" ”

Hearing this, the subordinate turned his head to stare at Zhao Zhong, his face and eyes were full of extreme dissatisfaction.

Zhang Rang smiled: "Hehehe...... Don't worry, Lord Zhao. Do you know who this person is? ”

Zhao Zhong was stunned, looked at the subordinate who was standing on the side and staring at him a little unkindly, and shook his head in confusion.

"The villain Chen Gui is a person from Dong Xiangguo's mansion, and he is responsible for delivering words for my lord in the past two days." Chen Gui thought about it, but who Zhao Zhong was, at least he couldn't offend, so he immediately replied.

It turned out that this person was the person who helped Dong Zhuo kidnap the woman from a good family who sold tofu a few days ago, his name is Chen Gui, he works in Xiangguo's mansion, and he has won Dong Zhuo's heart, and he often finds some beauties and women to give to Dong Zhuo, maybe it is because he can satisfy Dong Zhuo's inner desire, he has now become Dong Zhuo's confidant.

"Dong Zhuo's people?" At this time, Zhao Zhong understood better, Dong Zhuo had been looking for the general He Jin for the past two days, why did the subordinates in his mansion come to Zhang Rang?

"Hehehe......" Zhang Rang stood up and patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder: "Lord Zhao knows that what Dong Xiangguo has done recently is only after discussing with me. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zhong was shocked: "Why? ”

"Could it be that Lord Zhao really wants Dong Xiangguo to leave Luoyang so soon?" Zhang Rang asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Could it be that Lord Zhang and Dong Xiangguo are delaying time at this time, until General Zhang Liao comes to Luoyang." ”

Zhang Rang smiled, gave a thumbs up to Zhao Zhong, and then said with a smile: "As soon as He Jin falls, Empress He will lose power, and the eldest prince Liu Wei is just a small child, and then it will be the time when we are in power to the government and the opposition, so that it will no longer be difficult for the prince to ascend the throne." ”

Zhao Zhong nodded: "Since that's the case, then I don't have to worry." ”

At this time, another subordinate ran in from outside the door, and after coming in, he knelt down in front of Zhang Rang and said, "Report to Lord Zhang, there is a person who calls himself Zhang Liao outside the door and asks to see him." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang looked at Zhao Zhong and Chen Gui and smiled: "It seems that everything is already in place." ”

Chen Gui arched his hand at Zhang Rang and said, "Then I will go back to the house immediately and inform my master of this matter." ”

Zhang Rang said: "Hmm...... Ask Lord Xiangguo how the preparations are going. ”

Chen Gui nodded: "I'm going to leave over there." After saying that, he immediately dismissed.

……

Luoyang City, Situ Mansion.

Situ Wang Yun was sitting alone in the room at this time, he drank a cup of tea, and couldn't help frowning; "Dong Zhuo is greedy and cunning, at this time, he is about to send troops, and he has appeared in General He's mansion many times, what does he want to do?"

Situ Wang Yun also knew about Dong Zhuo's two visits to the General's Mansion, but he really couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's move, could it be that he really took refuge in He Jin? But this is really incredible!

And just as Situ Wang Yun was thinking about Dong Zhuo, a subordinate walked in: "Master, I have been in contact with Miss a lot, and the son of the Li family sent an invitation." ”

"Invitation?" Situ Wang Yun frowned, especially when he saw that the invitation in the hands of his subordinates was so simple, if he hadn't heard that it was sent by Li Yuzhu, he might have sent it away immediately. Of course, if it wasn't sent by Li Yuzhu, I'm afraid that the subordinates in his house would send him away directly, and Wang Yun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see each other.

However, although Situ Wangyun hesitated, he still accepted the humble invitation.

After a moment, Situ Wang Yun secretly muttered, "Yuzhu Yuan? ”

Then, Situ Wangyun asked again, "Where is Miss?" ”

The subordinate replied respectfully: "Back to the master, the young lady should be outside now, if the young lady hadn't spoken just now, the villain would have seen such a simple invitation, I am afraid that he would immediately send it away." ”

Hearing this, Situ Wang Yun secretly smiled bitterly, and immediately raised his head and said, "Prepare the horse!" I'll go out with my miss. ”

"Yes."
