Sun Ce begged Dong Zhuo's daughter as his wife, but Dong Zhuo just threw a daughter to Jiangdong. In these years, the daughter who married out was just spilled water, which had no effect on Dong Zhuo. For Sun Ce, it was very helpful.

Once Dong Zhuo appointed Sun Ce as the Taishou of Wu County by order of the Son of Heaven, it was a sure thing for Sun Ce to serve as the Taishou. In addition, Dong Zhuo married his daughter to Sun Ce, which was a direct help to Sun Ce, and it could deter people in Jiangdong who were about to move.

In just a few moments, Li Ru figured out the key.

It's just that what are the benefits of the cooperation between the two sides to Dong Zhuo?

Wooing a young Sun Ce, is it worth paying all this? Li Ru didn't make a decision in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Zhu Zhi and said without hurry: "If you want to get Xiangguo's daughter, I will personally report to Xiangguo." At the same time, regarding the post of Wu Juntaishou, I will also report this matter. As for when Xiangguo will be able to give a reply, it is impossible to determine for the time being, and he will have to wait for Xiangguo to think carefully before giving a reply. ”

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will return to my residence and wait for news." ”

Li Ru nodded, and then stopped talking.

Zhu Zhi consciously said goodbye and left, and after leaving the mansion, he stood outside the mansion and looked at the Lang Zhongling Mansion where Li Ru was located, and a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's right-hand man, there is no need to investigate, and Zhu Zhi also knows Li Ru's situation.

However, the answer given by Li Ru was ambiguous, making Zhu Zhi unable to believe Li Ru.

To achieve the purpose of this trip, it is necessary to visit the rest of the people. Zhu Zhi returned to his residence, and in the evening, his entourage came back to report the news and inform the important personnel around Dong Zhuo. Wang Lei, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were impressively listed, and Zhu Zhi carefully selected candidates. In the end, Zhu Zhi put Wang Lei first.

When the Tiger Prison was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Wang Lei and Sun Jian were together, and the two sides could be regarded as friends, and with this relationship, Zhu Zhi could also have a reason to go to visit.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhi left his residence in a carriage and headed towards the mansion where Wang Lei lived.

When he came to the outside of the mansion, Zhu Zhi asked people to hand over the famous thorn.

Soon, an attendant quickly opened the door and led Zhu Zhi to the palace. Zhu Zhi, led by his attendants, came to the door of the hall. Looking up, there was Wang Lei directly above. Seeing Wang Lei, Zhu Zhi hurriedly walked a few steps, came to the hall, hugged his fists and said: "Zhu Zhi Zhu Junli, meet Lord Wang." ”

"Sit!"

Wang Lei waved his hand and glanced at Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi is in his early thirties, with thin cheeks, eight-character eyebrows, and bright eyes, giving people a sense of decisiveness and fortitude.

Historically, Zhu Zhi was the first person to follow Sun Jian.

Even, it is a high-ranking official under Sun Quan's command who rarely dies well. Under Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lü Meng died early, and the later governor Lu Xun also died of grief, and Zhang Zhao, the head of civil officials, was also desolate in his later years, but Zhu Zhi was different.

Zhu Zhi first followed Sun Jian, and after Sun Jian's death, he assisted Sun Ce.

Sun Ce died of illness, and Zhu Zhi assisted Sun Quan and did his best to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong. Sun Quan was promoted to the throne of King Wu, worshiped Zhu Zhi as the general of Anguo, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and migrated to the Marquis of Biling. Every time Zhu Zhi visited Sun Quan, Sun Quan personally received him, and gave Zhu Zhi a rich reward, which was highly honored.

Wang Lei asked: "After Brother Wentai passed away, Sun Ce took people back to Jiangdong, and now his family is good?" ”

Zhu Zhi smiled slightly and replied, "Lord Hui, everything is fine." After the lord returned, he had already moved all his family members to Qu'a County, defected to his uncle Wu Jing, and now lived in Qu'a County. ”

Wang Lei nodded, and said: "Junli assisted Sun Ce, he should be by Sun Ce's side, but this time he rushed to Chang'an, I'm afraid there is something wrong?" ”

Zhu Zhi sighed lightly, looking helpless.

Wang Lei asked, "What happened to you?" ”

Zhu Zhi looked solemn and said: "The situation at home is fine, but the situation of the lord is not very good. There are two things to do in Chang'an this time, one is to ask for the position of the Taishou of Wu County, the lord lives in Qu'a, and the military spirit begins to collapse. If this goes on for a long time, there will definitely be chaos, and when the time comes, Sun's foundation will definitely be ruined. ”

"As long as he gets the position of Wu County Taishou, the lord can lead the army to recruit, take charge of Wu County, and prosper the Sun family's foundation. In this way, the ancestor can also be blind under the nine springs. ”

Zhu Zhi paused for a moment, and then said: "Second, the lord plans to seek Dong Zhuo's daughter and get Dong Zhuo's support. The lord is in a difficult situation, and if he wants to make a comeback, he can only make this decision. ”

Unlike his previous rhetoric when facing Li Ru, Zhu Zhi did not exaggerate and truthfully stated Sun Ce's situation.

When Zhu Zhi and Li Ru were talking, Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's person, and Li Ru had to be made to see Sun Ce's strength in order to make Li Ru think that he could win over Sun Ce, and it was worth the effort to win over Sun Ce. However, Wang Lei is different, if you want to get Wang Lei's support, you can only pretend to be pitiful and tell the truth about things, which is enough.

After listening to this, Wang Lei took the initiative to say: "If you want to see Dong Zhuo, I can recommend you." It's just that are you sure that these conditions alone can convince Dong Zhuo? In particular, there is also a problem with me introducing Dong Zhuo for you, Li Ru under Dong Zhuo's account and I do not agree, and I have always wanted to put me to death, once I introduce Dong Zhuo for you, your suggestion will be opposed by Li Ru. ”

Zhu Zhi's brows furrowed, he didn't expect that there was this layer of key.

Li Ru objected, and things would definitely not be easy to do.

Zhu Zhi no longer concealed it, and said: "Before I came to visit the adults, Li Ru sent someone to invite me to the mansion and ask me why I came to Chang'an. I talked about seeking marriage and guarding the position, but I didn't tell the truth, and lied that the lord had tens of thousands of soldiers, deliberately scaring Li Ru. At that time, Li Ru responded that he would report to Dong Zhuo first, and then make a decision. ”

Wang Lei said: "You did it right, Sun Ce has the strength, and Dong Zhuo will win over." It's just that Li Ru summoned you, so you can't be sure what Li Ru means. ”

Zhu Zhi had a bitter face, hoping to get Wang Lei's help.

Wang Lei thought for a while, and then continued: "Li Ru's attitude is uncertain, so it will be difficult for me to introduce you to you. If Li Ru does not agree to the marriage, I will help you again, it will have no effect, anyway, Li Ru will stop you; If Li Ru agrees, it will be the best result for you, because Li Ru is the strategist who influences Dong Zhuo's decision. ”

After a pause, Wang Lei said sincerely: "My opinion is to wait and see what happens for the time being, and wait for Li Ru to make a statement before making plans." And, when you leave, try to pretend that I won't help you, so as not to be self-defeating. ”

Zhu Zhi was grateful in his heart and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Wang Lei said: "No, I can help, naturally help." ”

Zhu Zhi said goodbye and left, and after returning to his residence, he did not visit the rest of the officials. He also agreed with Wang Lei's suggestion to wait for Li Ru's decision to finalize the next step.
