Wu Xi took the document suspiciously, but he didn't look at the content on it, seeing that he was so vigilant, Liu Lan said bluntly, and said: "This is a letter I received to ask for Dong, I am about to leave with the troops, so there are some things that must be solved before leaving, whether you scold me for being the second Gongsun Du or the ambition of the wolf, I don't have a choice, you don't have a choice, you don't have to choose, you read the text first, and you must express your position after reading it, otherwise Liu can only be a villain." ”

Seven people gathered around Wu Xi, wanting to unite against Liu Lan, and refused to read the text, but Wu Xi shook his head, opened the paperwork, and saw that it was written:

Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly!

Cao Cao's name was written on the inscription, and Wu Xi read it and then handed it over to other county monarchs.

Several people have different expressions, but they are all indignant, after all, the Han Dynasty has been four hundred years, and the people's hearts are not covered, and now Dong Zhuo is in chaos, Cao Cao raised rebels, and immediately became angry with the enemy, and even looked at Liu Lan's eyes were much more relaxed, and only after everyone finished circulating it, Liu Lan said slowly: "One more thing I want to say is that I, Liu Lan, respect the Han and not respect Dong!"

Wu Xi took the paperwork, handed it back to Zhang Fei, took a deep breath and faced Liu Lan, and said with a worried face: "Deran, if you do this to deal with Dong Zhuo for the rebels, then we are wrong to blame you, but you are learning from Gongsun Du to use such dirty methods, you dare to say that you are really trying to please Dong." Don't have your own selfishness? ”

"I don't deny that I have selfish intentions, but that is a pure heart for the Han Dynasty. This time, Dong Zhuo won less and lost more, so he must be prepared to confront Dong Zhuo for a long time. Then Liaodong must not afford to lose, and if the various prefectures and county guards have begun to assemble today, I have no time to persuade you, so I can only follow the power! ”

Wu Xi and the others, you look at me, I look at you, my face is full of surprise, I didn't expect Liu Lan to be so honest, especially Wu Xi, his expression was even darker. He shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Let's go, there is no room for maneuver in this matter." ”

"But." Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped Wu Xi, who was about to leave, but he didn't want to find that Zhang Fei's bronze bell-like eyes instantly shot at him like a steel knife, and immediately lowered his head, although he avoided Zhang Fei, but for his own interests, he still said in a slight voice: "Let's go now, isn't it equivalent to admitting defeat, once the military power is handed over, don't say that the county order will not sit steadily." Even this life is not guaranteed at any time. “

"Then what do you want, if you keep entangled, do you really think Liu Lan won't dare to kill us? Don't forget where we are now, let's see the situation. Wu Xi sighed: I hope he can speak! ”

After Wu Xi finished speaking, he took the lead and left, and the others looked left and right, and now the alliance they had finally united could be said to have collapsed after Wu Xi and the Liao team county guards left one after another. If you stay any longer, aren't you just waiting to be killed by Liu Lan. had to leave obediently, but fortunately, Liu Lan only seized military power. didn't kick them away from the county commander's position, if you want to say that you should cry more than the county lieutenants, this time you have completely become a bare-bones commander, at this moment, several county commanders can only use this to comfort themselves.

The hall became completely quiet, Zhang Fei walked up to Sima's side, and said softly: "Sima, although these county commanders have all compromised, none of them are willing, once they return to their respective counties, they will turn their faces if they can't keep them, how can they help us deal with the county lieutenants of the counties!" ”

Wu Xi, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, went and returned, strode into the house with his head held high, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, these county orders are very shrewd, isn't there a saying in the war chess that abandons the army to protect the commander, and now the so-called alliance of the county orders has also broken down, who wants to face Deran's anger by himself?" Therefore, not only will they not make small moves, but they will also intensify their efforts to deal with the county lieutenant, so as to show their merits to Deran and secure their position. ”

Zhang Fei was stunned, his eyes widened, staring at Wu Xi and couldn't figure out what the situation was, but when he saw the scene of him talking and laughing with Sima, Zhang Fei completely understood, the feeling of this person has been singing double reeds with Sima, no wonder he has always been in opposition to Sima, it turns out that this is the case, and immediately grinned: "Sima, high, really high!" ”

Liu Lan spread his hands and smiled, the fortress always has to be broken inside, and the only one who has a little friendship with him in the county orders of Liaodong is Wu Xi, at this time, who else can Liu Lan find if he doesn't ask him for help, thank you, and said: "Thank you Wu County." ”

"It's a trivial matter, Deran's collection of military power is also for the world, for the court, and he should do his best!" Wu Xi said, but looked at the direction where the county order disappeared and laughed evilly: "These people, they can do anything for the sake of power, but Deran's hand is beautiful and tight, and he only collects military power, which is much more tactful than Gongsun Du at the beginning, otherwise, they will really be forced to jump over the wall." ”

"As long as the military power is in my hands, I am not afraid of any small tricks they have, and just like Wu Xianjun said, although they will not give up their rights because of begging Dong, they will give up military power for their lives, as long as they govern the county with peace of mind, I can guarantee the position of the county order, but they dare to do anything angry and resentful, then don't blame Liu for turning his face and being ruthless, they who had no military power at that time were far easier to deal with than now."

"But is Deran really going to take the risk? This is the enemy of the 'world', and if you are not careful, the reputation of this anti-thief will not be able to escape. ”

"Whether it's a traitor or not, it's not him Dong Zhuo who has the final say." Liu Lan sneered and said: "Actually, I hope to be scolded by Dong Zhuo now and praised by future generations in the future." ”

Alas. Wu Xi glanced at Liu Lan's sneering face, and couldn't help but sigh lowly: "How difficult it is for the imperial court, De Ran's decision must have been carefully considered, although he has the slogan of the Qing monarch's side, but he can't get rid of the reputation of supporting the army and self-respect, especially with the identity of you and me, and I can't compare to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, these scholars, when the time comes, if you really go to the Huimeng, you must be anxious and troublesome." ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Liu Lan looked unimpressed, Wu Xi's words were not so simple, as for what the so-called headache was, he naturally understood, or was he worried that the soldiers under the accounts of those who participated in the alliance this time were all rabble county soldiers, or some people who were temporarily recruited with low combat power, and Dong Zhuo, who was a good general, how could he be an opponent?

But the strength on paper that these knowledgeable Wu Xi saw, the real horror was not their rebel army but the Sanhe, Yingchuan, and Runan clans, so even if their alliance was a rabble, and the combat strength of the soldiers was low, they could face Dong Zhuo from Guanxi, although the battle would be lost, but politically Dong Zhuo was destined to escape.

This is the horror of the Mikawashi clan, this is the horror of the Kanto family.

Liu Lan had a deep understanding of this when he went to Yingchuan back then, but when he went to the alliance, to put it bluntly, Liu Lan was to make political capital, not that he wanted to get the support of the family, no matter how many times he asked Dong, it was impossible, because he understood this, so when you came back from Yingchuan, his eyes have been aimed at the Hanmen clan, but the reality is far more cruel, although he is now famous, but it is just among the warriors, in the eyes of the scholars, including the Hanmen scholars, he is just a reckless man from the frontier of Liaodong, Otherwise, the scholars would not have been laughing at his name, although Emperor Ling changed him to a De'an name, but he asked his brothers Pingyang to call him Deran the same, nothing else, it was pleasing to the ear, but this time it was even more discriminated against and ridiculed by the scholars.

In this state of discrimination and ridicule, Liu Lan wants to recruit talents, so he can only make his name a household name.

And it is a good opportunity to ask for Dong. (To be continued......)
