Chapter Seventy-Two: Troubled Times Come
Time came to September a year later, that is, in September 189, Jiang Hong, who had been silent for a long time, finally heard the news of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, Jiang Hong waved his fist excitedly, the time for the heroes to compete was finally coming, and he could finally see the bigwigs who were admired and worshiped by future generations.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Second Master, Lu Bu, etc., said that he seems to be much better than Liu Bei now, so he suddenly felt very cool when he thought about it, this time he went to the Central Plains, not only to start his reputation, but also to gain.
And the chess pieces that he has secretly laid over the years will soon be able to play their due role, and when the time comes, he will tear off a piece of meat from Xuzhou.
But what we have to prepare for now is how to let Tao Qian take him to the Tiger Prison Pass, Jiang Hong remembered that the princes of the Eighteenth Road were all Taishou at the least, and he rode over to the Huimeng with a captain, maybe he didn't even have a cushion to sit on, it was better to follow Tao Qian, at least this status would rise a lot, and Jiang Hong still had a reason to follow Tao Qian.
After a period of time, Dong Fat and Fat abolished the young emperor Liu Wei as the king of Hongnong, and set up the nine-year-old Chen Liuwang Liu Xie as the emperor, and the news of the emperor spread all over the country.
And Dong Zhuo played a good hand of cards to a pulp, Jiang Hong also admired it very much, there are Li Ru, Jia Xu, although Jia Xu is not reused, let alone Wu, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong is not a first-class master, poor Hua Xiong, was used by the second master to sacrifice the knife.
There are also the generals of Xiliang, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, if it weren't for the fact that no one could suppress them after Dong Fat died, and patronized the civil strife, otherwise Cao Da's chrysanthemums in the early stage would have been cold long ago, how could there be Cao Cao's supernatural performance of rejecting Liu Biao Yuan Shu in the south, kicking Tao Qian Lu Bu in the east, Yongliang in the west, and resisting Yuan Shao in the north.
But it's too early to say this, the affairs of the alliance haven't been mentioned yet, Cao Cao is still in Luoyang City, and he hasn't received the epic task given to him by the old man Wang Yun, but Jiang Hong feels that he can start making some preparations first, probably, there are still more than two months.
The first thing Jiang Hong did was to expand the army, and then expand the army, from 6,000 to 10,000 people, of course, this must be secretive, and it will not be expanded with great fanfare, and it will not be long to hide from Tao Qian, but it is enough to hide these two months.
The second thing is to buy and hoard grain on a large scale, and there will be wars for decades to come, and food prices will remain high.
But thinking about it this way, how terrifying the wealth of the Mi family, who has earned the same amount of money as Jiang Hong, at this time, if his Mi family wants to do something, even if it is self-preservation, I am afraid that he will be able to organize tens of thousands of armed forces in a short time.
The third thing is to send a large number of spies to leave the land of Huainan and go to the Central Plains to inquire about intelligence, what intelligence, of course, is the intelligence of talents, most of the talents in the early period of the Eastern Han Dynasty came from the Central Plains and the north, and it was the turn of the talents in the south to rise in the later period.
The fourth thing is to secretly contact the salt industry, this Jiang Hong can only look at drooling before, and he doesn't dare to move, how many people across the country are staring at this piece, counting on eating, this guy, once he masters it, it is much faster than what drunken incense brews to get money.
I'm just sending someone to get in touch with this part now, and when I come back, I'm 。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Damn, I don't remember how the salt is dried in the chemistry book. Damn, it's over, I forgot how this refined salt was dried, I only remember what kind of permeable membrane or dialysis membrane, but where to find what membrane in 189 AD.
Jiang Hong seemed to see the mountains of gold and silver beckoning to him, and then he passed by. Smack, Jiang Hong gave himself a hard slap, why can't Damn Lao Tzu write down this thing, but instead write down some calculus, this calculus is now useful.
Rao is Jiang Hong is annoyed, and the days have to look forward, here Jiang Hong is constantly preparing for the upcoming troubled times, and on the other side, Cao Cao received his own exclusive task from an old man with a yellow exclamation mark on his head.
Cao Dada that year was still so simple, so simple that he just wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han family, unlike a guy who had been fighting since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao took over this purely life-giving task without thinking.
Of course, Cao Cao is not a brainless guy, he doesn't have enough force, and his intelligence can make up for it, so he can win a little bit of life. Cao Cao found an excuse to see Dong Zhuo, and then deliberately was late, hoping to give himself a chance to transfer Lu Bu from Dong Zhuo's side, if he didn't have a chance, he was looking for a chance.
It's just that Cao Cao didn't expect Dong Zhuo to give face so much, not only let Lu Bu go away, but also asked Lu Bu to go to the horse farm to pick a good horse for himself. This comes and goes, it takes a lot of time, and as soon as there is more time, Cao Cao's mind begins to liven up, and he wants to do some troublesome operations.
Dong Zhuo is in Xiliang, when he taught those Qiang people, his own martial arts are not low, although he is blessed now, but the foundation is still there after all, if he fights hard, Cao Cao looked at his small body, and he may not be able to fight, and when the time comes, he will be killed, and this person will be lost.
Cao Cao felt that the fat man couldn't sit for a long time, and his ankles and calves couldn't withstand such a heavy weight after sitting for a long time, so he deliberately said that what he wanted to report was stinky and long, and he didn't get to the point for a long time.
As Cao Cao expected, after sitting for a while, Dong Zhuo felt that his calves were sore, and three concubines flew on the dragon bed last night, and he was already sleepy, coupled with Cao Cao's smelly and long report, Dong Zhuo had long wanted to sleep.
If it weren't for his son-in-law repeatedly emphasizing to himself that he should treat Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu seriously, so as to win over the forces behind them, Dong Zhuo would have driven Cao Cao out long ago.
Listening to Cao Cao's report, like listening to a lullaby, Dong Zhuo simply lay down on the collapse, Dong Zhuo thought about it, in front of others, is it a bit too faceless to sleep with his eyes closed, or turn his back to sleep, and then Dong Zhuo turned inward.
Cao Cao read for a while and stopped, but Dong Zhuo did not make the slightest movement. Cao Cao is full of inflow at the moment, God, you are so good to me Cao Mengde, I Cao Mengde will cut off the head of this dog to sacrifice to the Han family.
Just as Cao Cao pulled out the orange equipment on his waist and the seven-star treasure sword, Dong Zhuo suddenly let out a thunderous snoring. Cao Cao was so frightened that his legs were weak at that time, and he thought that Dong Zhuo was not asleep, and the treasure knife in his hand also fell to the ground, making a crisp clang.
Dong Zhuo was originally a martial artist, and he was very familiar with the sound of weapons, and when he heard this crisp sound, it was like a conditioned reflex, so he woke up at that time, and immediately turned around to take a look, only to see Cao Cao kneeling on the ground, and this treasure knife fell on the ground.
"What does Meng De mean by this?" Dong Zhuo said that he couldn't understand the scene in front of him, what was the situation.
"Uhhh Cao Cao frantically ran his little brain, "Villain, villain is offering a knife to the prime minister." ”
"Offering a knife?" Dong Zhuo shook his head, which was still a little dazed, "Oh, then how did this knife land." ”
"The villain has been obsessed with the court recently, but he didn't want to leave his martial arts behind, and today he wanted to offer a knife, but he didn't expect this treasure knife to be so heavy, and he was accidentally slid to the ground, disturbing the prime minister." At this time, if you hesitate, you will die, Cao Cao casually made up a reason that he didn't believe in himself, and whether he could survive or not was left to fate.
"Oh." Dong Zhuo picked up the treasure knife on the ground and looked at it carefully, the light emitted by the orange equipment immediately inspired Dong Zhuo's love, "Good knife, good knife." ”
Cao Cao looked confused, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to believe his flawed lie, did you Dong Zhuo believe in my evil? Do you believe this? It happened that Lu Bu came back with the horse, and if he didn't wait for him to wait for Dong Zhuo to invite him to dinner, would he still kneel here and wait for Dong Zhuo to invite him to dinner?
Cao Cao got up immediately, his waist didn't hurt anymore, his legs weren't weak, and he said that he wanted to try a new horse, Dong Zhuo was still silent in the joy of picking up the orange suit, and immediately agreed, Cao Cao didn't have much BB, turned over and got on the horse, and slipped away.
