Luoyang, Imperial Palace.

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty laughed with a good news, and while laughing, he carefully watched and stroked the good news, as if he was touching a treasure.

Zhang Rang, who had already seen the good news on the side, lowered his head, his face was gloomy, and a burst of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Han Ling had already stopped laughing, looked at Zhang Rang's gloomy face, and asked with some displeasure: "This is a great joy, why is Zhang Qing so displeased?" ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he hurriedly changed his color and quibbled: "Your Majesty, it is not that the slave maid swept His Majesty's interest, but that the slave maid thought of the future, so her face was solemn. ”

"In the future?" Liu Hong asked puzzledly: "At this time, Zhang Jiao has been captured, and there is no backbone in the yellow scarf.

Presumably, it won't be long before Li Qing will wipe out the remaining yellow scarves one by one, what will make Zhang Qing so sad in the future? ”

"Alas!" Zhang Rang pretended to sigh sadly, and then, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring, said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Jiao has been captured this time, his younger brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are all at large.

And these two people still have hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, if Zhang Jiao has an accident, how can they not avenge their brother?

Not to mention these, let's just say that there are still millions of yellow turbans in the world, this time the ancient townspeople used Zhang Jiao as bait to lure the yellow scarves in the world, but this matter was too much Meng Lang!

He only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he withstand the siege of millions of yellow turbans in the world? ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he shook the good news in his hand, and said angrily: "Of course I know that he can't stop millions of yellow scarves, isn't Li Qing asking me for help?!"

There are countless soldiers and horses under my command, and this time the yellow turbans gather in one place, as long as they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, there will be no more war in the world, so isn't it once and for all? ”

As he spoke, seeing that Zhang Rang was about to open his mouth to persuade, Liu Hong waved his hand impatiently and scolded Zhang Rang: "Okay! I have made up my mind, I don't need to persuade me anymore! ”

Zhang Rang was in a hurry when he heard this, he just didn't want Emperor Han Ling to send troops, so he made the matter serious, so that Li Zhi could fend for himself, but he didn't expect this to strengthen Emperor Han Ling's determination.

Seeing that he couldn't steal chickens and rice, Zhang Rang's eyes rolled, and he had other ideas.

I saw that he tidied up his clothes, saluted respectfully to Emperor Han Ling, and said with a sad and angry face: "Your Majesty! If it's not a slave and maid, if it's a weekday, of course the slave and maid won't object.

But at this time, the world is full of yellow turbans, how can there be no soldiers and horses in Beijing?

If the Yellow Turban takes advantage of the time when the world's soldiers and horses gather giant deer, what should it do to attack the capital? Slaves and maids risk death, please think twice! ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply and stopped getting up.

"This ......" Emperor Han Ling hesitated when he heard this, feeling that what Zhang Rang said was reasonable, if he sent all the soldiers and horses, how could he ensure his own safety.

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling didn't speak, Zhang Rang raised his head and glanced at him secretly, seeing that Emperor Han Ling hesitated, Zhang Rang was overjoyed in his heart, and thought in his heart: "Li Xingzhi, see that you are not dead this time?!" ”

After hesitating for a long time, Emperor Han Ling asked hesitantly, "If I don't send troops and horses, won't I abandon the heroes?"

At that time, I didn't know how people in the world would talk about me, it was not appropriate! ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, his heart was anxious, and then he thought of what the person who came to his house to give gifts said today, and his heart gradually settled down.

Subsequently, Zhang Rang pretended to be righteous

The awe-inspiring Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it is indeed inappropriate not to send troops. ”

As soon as Zhang Rang's words fell, Emperor Han Ling suddenly stood up from the main seat, stared at him, looked at Zhang Rang angrily and said: "You are the one who said that you would not send troops, and you were the one who said that you would send troops, what do you mean?!" Aren't you kidding?! ”

Seeing Emperor Han Ling's flower road, Zhang Rangcheng said in fear: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" And listen to the slave and maid finish speaking, if the slave and maid are not right, Your Majesty will punish the slave and maid for their crimes. ”

"Humph!" Emperor Han Ling snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards his dragon throne.

After sitting down, Emperor Han Ling flicked his sleeves and said unhappily: "Say it!" If you don't pay attention to what you say, then you are guilty of deception! ”

"Whoa." Zhang Rang responded, and slowly said the words that had been prepared.

"Your Majesty, if it is unstable today, Beijing needs soldiers and horses to guard, but Your Majesty not only has soldiers and horses in Beijing, but also the border army can also be used."

"Nonsense!" Before Zhang Rang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the angry voice of Emperor Han Ling.

I saw that he glared at Zhang Rang angrily and said: "The border army is the army that guards the safety of the Han border, how can it be easily used?"

If the border army is mobilized, what should the alien invasion be? If something happens, can you, a slave, afford it?! ”

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling was angry, Zhang Rang was not afraid, and continued with a normal face: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger first, the importance of the border army, how can the slave and maid not know?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Rang looked up at Emperor Han Ling, and saw that he was just about to get angry, so he hurriedly said what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty sees with the slaves and maids that the army of Youhe and Merge really can't be used, but the Xiliang soldiers can be mobilized.

Xiliang Dong Zhuo is known for his prestige, and he is loyal to His Majesty, why don't you mobilize Xiliang's soldiers and horses and let him help Li Zhi? ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said happily: "This strategy is very wonderful!" But..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Han Ling turned his head around, frowned and asked Zhang Rang, "How many generals does this Dong Zhuo have?" How powerful is it? ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured." Zhang Rang saw that Emperor Ling of Han had already moved, and hurriedly said good things for Dong Zhuo: "This Dong Zhuo has an army of 100,000 troops, and most of them are Qiang people, and their combat strength can be imagined. ”

"One hundred thousand?!" Hearing that Dong Zhuo had an army of 100,000 under his command, Emperor Han Ling frowned, and he was afraid of Dong Zhuo in his heart.

No emperor could be at ease when he heard that his courtiers had an army of 100,000.

Although Emperor Han Ling is mediocre, he is not stupid, this Dong Zhuo has an army of 100,000 under his command, and they are all Qiang people with outstanding combat power, but he knows nothing about such a force, how can he not be afraid?

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Han Ling thought of another question, he looked at Zhang Rang and thought in his heart: "How did this Zhang Rang know that Dong Zhuo had an army of 100,000?" Could it be... What is the connection between them? ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Han Ling's eyes were a little wrong when he looked at Zhang Rang, and his body moved behind him quietly, for fear that he would murder him.

And Zhang Rang, who was familiar with Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, saw him like this, and after a little thought in his heart, he understood that His Majesty must have doubted himself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained to Emperor Han Ling: "Your Majesty, yesterday Dong Zhuo sent someone to the slave mansion. ”

"Oh? Went to your mansion. Emperor Han Ling looked at Zhang Rang with such an expression and snorted coldly: "Hmph! So what is Dong Zhuo looking for you? Recruit from the truth! ”

Zhang Rang bowed and replied respectfully: "Dong Zhuo wants to."

His Majesty was loyal, but because he was a border guard, it was inconvenient for him to enter Beijing, so he sent someone to the slave's mansion and asked the slave to send a message to His Majesty. ”

"Humph!" Emperor Han Ling snorted coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Message?" What is the word? ”

Although Zhang Rang is greedy, whenever he accepts money from others, he will do things properly.

Now seeing that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was quite jealous of Dong Zhuo, he patted Dong Zhuo on the back and said: "Then Dong Zhuo is really a loyal minister, he saw that the world was in chaos, and the yellow turbans were everywhere, and he wanted to send troops to conquer the yellow turbans and share his worries for His Majesty." ”

"Loyalist?" Emperor Han Ling sneered: "A loyal minister with 100,000 soldiers? I don't dare to ask for such a loyal minister! ”

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling had a worse impression of Dong Zhuo, Zhang Rang was in a hurry, and hurriedly quibbled, "Your Majesty, although this Dong Zhuo has an army of 100,000, most of them are Qiang, so it is not a pity that they are all dead.

Now that Dong Zhuo wants to go on the expedition, then let him go, it is best to lose both, wouldn't it be possible to kill two birds with one stone? ”

When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he nodded thoughtfully: "What Qing Zhi said is reasonable. ”

Seeing that Emperor Han Ling's attitude was a little relaxed, Zhang Rang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I want to let this Dong Zhuo lead 100,000 Qiang people to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban, no matter who lives or dies, it is for Your Majesty to remove the big trouble in your heart, wouldn't it be wonderful?" ”

Zhang Rang recommended Dong Zhuo so hard, not because of that money, but because Zhang Rang didn't want Li Zhi to make meritorious contributions anymore.

In Zhang Rang's opinion, Li Zhi can win many battles with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo can do it with an army of 100,000.

Zhang Rang didn't think that Li Zhi had much ability, but only thought that the reason why Li Zhi was able to win was because the yellow turban was vulnerable.

That's why he strongly recommended Dong Zhuo, hoping that Dong Zhuo could replace Li Zhi and prevent Li Zhi from making meritorious contributions.

After listening to Zhang Rang's explanation, Emperor Han Ling nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Rang with appreciation: "What Qing Zhi said is very reasonable, so let's do it!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to a small chamberlain on the side and ordered: "Spread the holy oracle, order Dong Zhuo to be the general of Yingyang, lead the army to Julu to meet with Guxianghou, join Guxianghou's command, and obey Guxianghou's arrangement." ”

"Your Majesty, wait!" Hearing that Emperor Ling of Han said that he wanted to return Dong Zhuo to Li Zhi, Zhang Rang hurriedly stopped him.

Zhang Rang originally planned to prevent Li Zhi from making meritorious contributions again, so he recommended Dong Zhuo.

And now that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty has let Dong Zhuo join Li Zhi's command, wouldn't it make Li Zhi like a tiger with wings, how can this be done?

Therefore, Zhang Rang didn't care about Emperor Han Ling's ugly face, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that this Dong Zhuo must not be merged into Li Zhi's command!" ”

As soon as Zhang Rang's words fell, Emperor Ling of Han looked at him with a blue face, and scolded loudly with a wave of his sleeves: "How do I act, and I still need to be taught by your slave?!" Come! Expelled Zhang Rang from the main hall! ”

"Whoa!" The ministry guard in the hall answered, and strode upwards.

When he came to Zhang Rang's side, he took his hand and said expressionlessly: "Zhang Changshi, don't make it difficult to do a humble job, please!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Rang ignored this person, straightened his waist, faced Emperor Han Ling, and asked righteously: "Your Majesty wants to be the king of the dead country?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Han Ling was furious, kicked over several cases in front of him, and shouted at the guard: "Why don't you take down this thief quickly?!" I'm going to cut him with a thousand cuts! ”

Just as the guard was about to make a move, Zhang Rang shouted: "......"
