Chapter 140: Sima Lang

After Zhang Liao came out of Dong Zhuo, he looked at the somewhat gray sky and breathed a long sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he met Dong Zhuo this time, the first feeling was that Dong Zhuo had changed a lot, perhaps because of the setbacks of the Kwantung princes' troops and the ministers who hindered the relocation of the capital, if the original Dong Zhuo still had a bit of boldness and polite corporal posture, then now Dong Zhuo is full of anger, as if a fierce beast has washed away its domestication and revealed its fangs!

And letting the people fend for themselves and letting the fire burn the sun is the venting of anger!

At the moment he saw Dong Zhuo today, Zhang Liao almost didn't have any hope for his advance, but unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo actually accepted it and granted him the real right to move the people of the governor, which was completely unexpected by Zhang Liao.

In addition to the excitement in his heart, he also felt a stronger sense of urgency.

He knew that Dong Zhuo had begun to go downhill from this moment on, and a superior person indulged his character, and in the end there was only destruction.

After moving the capital this time, he must devote himself to training, plan quietly, and rapidly expand his strength.

After all, being under Dong Zhuo's command is not a long-term way, and with Dong Zhuo's increasing sinking and indulgence, the conflict of actions will gradually make him and Dong Zhuo go against each other, and sooner or later there will be a time of split, which is also something that he can't afford not to consider.

After half a year, he has already realized that in this troubled era, only by being a prince and having his own territory can he have the foundation of his life and do what he wants to do!

But it is not easy to get a piece of the territory you want, and today, Jizhou and the southeast Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, Jing, Yang family power is strong, each has its own plan, each to support the princes, it is bound to fall into the war for many years, there is no moment, the economy is difficult to develop, their current strength, to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other families from the strong competition, there is no advantage. And Yizhou has been occupied by Liu Yan, Youzhou has been occupied by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and there is Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, so those are not the territories they want.

In the long run, the best fit for you is to merge with the state and Guanzhong. Bingzhou is their hometown, the Qiang, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other foreign races are rampant, Baibo, Montenegro and other bandits are rampant, suitable for military training, but Bingzhou has a shortcoming, the terrain is northerly, the climate is cold, most areas can only grow one season of grain every year, can not quickly accumulate grain and grass, is not suitable for the base area, otherwise the early consumption is too large to be replenished, will miss the opportunity for development.

Therefore, there is also a need for a base area, and this base area is Hedong and Guanzhong. It's just that Hedong and Guanzhong are both controlled by Dong Zhuo, and now Dong Zhuo's troops are flourishing, and they can't be forced, only after Dong Zhuo dies, can he have a chance to fight.

However, there is still an opportunity, if you can fight for the position of guarding one side from Dong Zhuo within half a year, and attract some talents in the court, you can just use Dong Zhuo's deterrence to develop a piece of land quietly, adopt the strategy of Tuntian, accumulate economic strength, and wait until Dong Zhuo dies and Guanzhong is chaotic, and with the help of his master Jia Xu, it is not difficult to seize Hedong and part of the Guanzhong territory, and then quickly expand to the state, occupy a large area, and quickly become a prince of one side with economic strength and military training.

To become a prince, in addition to strength, it is a title and official position. In addition to the first batch of Dong Zhuo's appointments, the later princes such as Sun Jian and Liu Bei were all appointed by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other famous princes. And it is obviously difficult for him to get this kind of opportunity, so he can only take another path, that is, after Dong Zhuo's death, the Son of Heaven will be held hostage by the people of Liangzhou, and he will be crowned with official positions, such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, who are all in important positions, and that is the opportunity for him to take the position. Is there anything more authentic than the appointment of the Son of Heaven?

These thoughts have not been in Zhang Liao's mind for a day or two, and at the moment he can't break away from Dong Zhuo, and it is difficult to get away, and now he only has to do two things, one is to train soldiers, and the other is to recruit talents.

Although he already has Zhang He and Gao Shun under his subordinates, they are still too few, not to mention that Gao Shun is not his rightful subordinate now, so he has to find a way to dig Gao Shun from Lu Bu.

In addition, the other strategists and generals of the other Three Kingdoms that he knows will soon choose one side to take refuge in this chaos, and he must dig some of them before he does.

Zhang Liao thought as he walked, and a person hurriedly walked in front of him, he fixed his eyes and looked, but it was Tian Yi, the main bookkeeper, and couldn't help but be happy, Tian Yi is Dong Zhuo's housekeeper, different from Li Ru, even when he was resting, he couldn't leave Luoyang, and he and Tian Yi hadn't seen each other for several months.

Tian Yi was also quite happy to see Zhang Liao's confidant, but now it is not the time for the two of them to catch up, Tian Yi is very busy, Zhang Liao is also in a hurry, and many people may die if they delay for a moment, so they hurriedly chatted for a few words, Zhang Liao was about to say goodbye, but saw more than ten Qiang Hu soldiers coming in outside the gate of Bi Guiyuan, escorting more than ten people, except for a handsome young man, the rest were children, women and children.

The young man looked calm, and there was a young man in his teens who was also calm, as if he were a little adult, but the other children and women were pale and frightened.

The more than ten Qiang Hu soldiers saluted Tian Yi, Zhang Liao looked at the group of people who were being escorted, and suddenly thought of the situation before meeting Dong Zhuo just now, his heart moved, and he looked at the handsome young man: "Brother Tai is Sima Boda?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and he hugged his fists very politely and said: "It's Sima Lang below, dare to ask Brother Tai?" ”

"And Zhang Liao." Zhang Liao grinned and looked at the teenage boy behind Sima Lang: "This little brother is Brother Ling Sima Yi, right?" ”

Sima Lang was taken aback: "Brother Zhang actually recognizes his brother?" ”

The young man couldn't see it, his eyes were bright and bright, but there was a hint of suspicion.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "I have heard the name of Sima Xian in Hanoi for a long time, and I went to visit in the next place, but I didn't expect Brother Xian to follow Lingzun in Luoyang. ”

Sima Lang was about to speak, when a Qiang Hu soldier shouted, "What are you talking about? Come on! ”

Ten-year-old Sima Yi suddenly saluted Zhang Liao and said: "Sima Yi has seen Brother Zhang, but now his parents and brothers are all framed by traitors, and they are in danger......" He said and glanced at Tian Yi, and as soon as he came in, he saw Zhang Liao and Tian Yi chatting, and these Qiang Hu soldiers all saluted Tian Yi, obviously Zhang Liao and Tian Yi's status is not too low.

Although Zhang Liao was anxious about the external situation, Dong Zhuo's envoy had not yet been sent at this time, and it was useless for him to be anxious, so he immediately suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said: "It's okay, where the country is in the country, I will be forgiving." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Sima Lang and Sima Yi couldn't help but be happy when they saw that Zhang Liao was so sure, and the women, servants, and children behind them also saluted and thanked Zhang Liao, with a respectful posture, showing the rigorous family style of the Sima family.

"Let's go! Go and see Sangkook. Zhang Liao just remembered something, and Dong Zhuo needed to start it as soon as possible. By the way, I also asked for a favor for the Sima family, anyway, Sima Bada in history survived, obviously Dong Zhuo didn't kill them.

Since Sima Yi has seen this genius, how can he let it go, although he is still young, he is just slowly cultivating and observing carefully.

And this Sima Lang is not bad, if he can include them under his command, it will also be a big help to himself in the future. He always believed that Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, which was also the death of Cao Cao and Cao Pi too early, and the Cao descendants were incompetent, and the opportunity given was that since he knew this person's temperament, he would naturally not make Cao Cao's mistakes.

Whether it's self-confidence or death, let's take it first.
