Chapter Eighty-Four: Jiang Hong's Plan
Jiang Hong saw that Xu Rong was escorted up, Jiang Hong hurriedly walked down and wanted to borrow the rope that bound Xu Rong, Dian Wei on the side wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Jiang Hong's glare, Jiang Hong untied the rope, during which Xu Rong didn't say a word, Jiang Hong stood up, stretched out his hand and said:
"General Xu, please."
Xu Rong calmly looked at Jiang Hong, who had returned to his position, sighed, stood up, and sat down in the position that Jiang Hong had prepared for himself.
"What do you want, sir?" Xu Rong suddenly asked.
Jiang Hongleng paused, then smiled and took out the lines he had prepared a long time ago.
"Dong Zhuo is forbearant and unrighteous, has no appetite, messes with the emperor, mourns the family, has Dong Zhuo in the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty, and γγγγγ it"
"I'm not going to come down." Before Jiang Hong's tirade was finished, he was interrupted by Xu Rong.
"Haha." was interrupted by Xu Rong, Jiang Hong didn't get angry, but laughed loudly, "General Xu is really loyal." β
After laughing, he drank all the wine in the bottle, Jiang Hong wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said:
"The general won't descend, I expected this, I'm just trying."
Without waiting for Xu Rong to ask, Jiang Hong stretched out his hand to stop him and continued:
"The general is a person in Liaodong, but he has followed Xiliang Dong Zhuo for a long time, if he is easily surrendered, he will look down on the general, thinking that the general is greedy for life and afraid of death, not to mention that the general's family and wife are all in Xiliang, and it is even more unlikely that he will descend to me, I don't know if I am right?"
"Since your lord knows that it will not descend below, what do you mean by this?" Xu Rong pointed to the wine and food on his table.
"I, I need you, help me bring some words to Prime Minister Dong Cheng." Jiang Hong said with a smile.
"What?" Xu Rong asked.
"I am willing to be the prime minister, disturb the Central Plains, make the Kwantung princes fall into scattered sand, and can no longer stop the prime minister's eastward trend, and make a modest contribution to the prime minister's domination of the world." Jiang Hong said very solemnly
Xu Rong was silent for a long time before finally asking:
"Is there anything else you want, do you need Xu Rong to talk to you?"
"Hahahaha" Jiang Hong laughed, "General Xu is really smart, I am a little reluctant to let the general go." β
"I don't want much, for the prime minister, it's just a matter of writing a few words and stamping a seal, I want to γγγγγγγγγγγγ"

"Lord Jiang, won't you anger your Lord Thorn Shi by doing this?" Xu Rong ate the wine and food, looked at Jiang Hong who was sitting in the seat, and asked casually.
"Lord Thorn?" Jiang Hong sneered, "It won't be long before my Lord Thorn Shi is gone, so why should I care about him." β
"What do you mean?" Xu Rong was puzzled.
"Our Lord Thorn Shi, in a few days, will return to heaven." Jiang Hong said coldly.
Time back to two days ago, in Tao Qian's military camp, Jiang Hong saw the chef kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, I just need you to do something for me."
"Small, small, small, must, do your best." The man said tremblingly.
"Very well, I just need to sprinkle this bag into Lord Thorn's meal in a few days, and someone will let you know the exact time." Jiang Hong said quietly.
When the man saw the small white bag in Jiang Hong's hand, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, kept kowtowing to Jiang Hong, and shouted:
"Adult, the little one doesn't dare, please let the adult let go of the villain, let go of the villain, let go of the villain." The man burst into tears.
Jiang Hong asked the cook to stop kowtowing, and said softly:
"It's hard to explain that I had a broken head." Immediately took out something from his waist, but his voice was cold, "Do you recognize this jade pendant?" β
Jiang Hong's smile seemed to that person, as if the Hades of the underworld was smiling at him, extremely infiltrating, the cook fixed his eyes, and immediately recognized the thing in Jiang Hong's hand, his face became extremely pale, and his body trembled incessantly.
Looking at the cook's reaction, Jiang Hong nodded with satisfaction and said slowly:
"That's right, it seems that you have recognized it, this is the jade pendant on your 5-month-old child, it seems that you went to the Taoist temple to ask for it in person." After speaking, Jiang Hong laughed softly, and then said to himself, "I have spent so much money over the years, and it is not for rice to raise those spies. β
Jiang Hong brought the jade pendant to the cook's trembling neck, and said with an incomparably kind smile on his face:
"Remember, do what I say, die you, don't do what I say, die the whole family, understand?"
The man nodded blankly, his expression was extremely sluggish, and his eyes revealed infinite despair, Jiang Hong said to the little follower who followed the cook:
"He'll leave it to you, he won't do it, you get rid of him, and then you come, you know?"
"No." This little follower is the orphans that Jiang Hong selected in the refugee camp outside Sheyang City, they have been brainwashed, and they can't replace this army cook who kneels on the ground and has followed Tao Qian for a long time, but there is no problem in arranging him as a small follower.
Xu Rong was so shocked that the chopsticks in his hand fell, he looked at Jiang Hong in surprise, and asked with some trembling:
"Aren't you afraid of me saying this?"
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Hong replied playfully, "Do you believe anyone when you say it?" A general of the Xiliang Army, will the people of the world believe what he says? β
"But Tao Qian died of poisoning, this matter can't be covered up, and it will be found on your head in the end." Xu Rong said.
"Who says you can't cover it up?" Jiang Hong sneered, "Lost a son in old age, my most beloved eldest son died suddenly, and the old man didn't catch his breath, isn't it normal to die?" β
"You... Xu Rong was speechless in surprise.
"That's right, Tao Qian's son was also killed by me, and the military doctors are all my people, or they have a handle in my hands, they only have one result when they check out, they die of natural causes, and then I will go to receive his army, and no one will touch Tao Qian's body during this period, you say, so, is it feasible?" Jiang Hong said slowly.
Xu Rong was silent for a long time, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally asked a little heavily:
"Why are you telling me so much?"
"You are a smart person, although Dong Zhuo's power is still the largest in the world, I believe you can also see that he has long lost his original ambition, he is no longer the powerful Dong Zhuo, he has been corrupted by the wine and beauty, Dong Zhuo, sooner or later will be defeated."
"You are very capable, I really appreciate you, even if I am telling the truth now, a little funny, the official position is not as big as yours, and the soldiers and horses in my hands are not as many as under your command, but give me a little time, I will definitely soar into the sky, I just hope that after you are loyal to Dong Zhuo, you can consider me, and it is best to abduct some more people, that's all."
Xu Rong and Jiang Hong looked at each other for a long time, and finally replied.
"Okay."
"It's not too early, and I won't keep you." Jiang Hong looked at the sun outside and gave the order to evict the guests.
