Chapter Eighty-Seven: Confession
During Jiang Hong's meeting in Xuzhou, Gongsun Du of Liaodong established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong, but for most people, it didn't matter. Jiang Hong was very curious, as far as the land in Liaodong was concerned, although the land was very fertile and there were many mineral deposits underground, no one said that it was useless, what could be the use of being a marquis except to satisfy himself?
Jiang Hong won't be so high-profile, make a fortune in a muffled voice, but now in this troubled world, those individuals who don't have a certain reputation won't run to you, which requires Jiang Hong not to be too low-key, Jiang Hong is very distressed, Cheng Yu's advice is to go with the flow, Jiang Hong is right to think about it, don't deliberately be high-profile, don't deliberately low-key, let it be.
Jiang Hong deliberately slowed down, in addition to wanting Tao Qian's body to decompose as soon as possible and cover up the signs of poisoning, on the other hand, Jiang Hong was still waiting for the news from the west.
That day, Xu Rong was let go by Jiang Hong, and he barely gathered more than 100 rangers around him, and then went back to meet Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was very surprised when he saw that Xu Rong was defeated, he knew the skills of this old subordinate, and hurriedly asked the reason, Xu Rong did not hide it, and said everything in 1510.
Lu Bu, who was originally guarding Dong Zhuo's side and had nothing to do, suddenly heard Xu Rong say that a strong man with a big iron halberd had captured himself by dividing five by two, and Lu Bu hurriedly asked about his appearance.
"Feng Xian, what's wrong?" Dong Zhuo asked when he saw Lu Bu's reaction.
"Prime Minister, this strong man with an iron halberd is the one who injured the child under the Tiger Prison that day."
"This person's name is Dian Wei, and he is a subordinate of Jiang Hong, the cavalry commander under Tao Qian, and... Xu Rong said with some hesitation.
"And what?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"He said that he was willing to be the prime minister, disturb the Central Plains, and make the Kwantung princes fall into scattered sand, and he could no longer stop the prime minister's eastward trend, and make a modest contribution to the prime minister's domination of the world." Xu Rong said.
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly.
"Interesting, interesting, this person is just a small cavalry lieutenant, he wants to disturb the entire Central Plains, is he daydreaming?"
"But, Prime Minister, he said, Tao Qian won't live long."
"Hmph, arrogant words, a state assassin history, how can he say that it is gone?" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, a small school suddenly rushed over, half-knelt on the ground, and said loudly:
"Report, Xuzhou Thorn Shi died violently because of the violent death of his eldest son, and he is in a hurry, and he is now dead."
Dong Zhuo stopped leaving, and before he could ask, Li Ru on the side first asked Xu Rong, what the hell is going on? How is a good history of thorns, saying that it is gone.
Xu Rong did not hide it, and relayed what Jiang Hong said to everyone present word for word. Li Ru was silent for a while, and then sighed:
"It seems that in the Kwantung Coalition Army, the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, but this is fine, this son is the ambition of the wolf, as soon as Tao Qian dies, this Xuzhou will be in chaos, this Xuzhou will be in chaos, and the Central Plains will inevitably be in chaos for a while, disturbing the Central Plains, but this son has done it."
"Hmph, he's still a little capable." Dong Zhuo said with some indignation, "This person didn't finish it a long time ago, but he didn't start until I evacuated Luoyang, and he obviously wanted to fish in troubled waters and reap the benefits." ”
"What else did this man tell you?" Li Ru asked again.
"He also said that he wanted the position of Yangzhou assassin." Xu Rong hesitated for a while, but he didn't say Jiang Hong's last words that Dong Zhuo would be defeated sooner or later.
"Hahahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed angrily, "He really dares to open his mouth, one mouth is the history of a state thorn, think beautifully!" ”
"Prime Minister." Li Ru on the side didn't think so, and persuaded, "This matter, the son-in-law thinks it is feasible." ”
"Wenyou, you... Dong Zhuo was a little angry and speechless.
"Prime Minister, please take your time with your son-in-law." Li Ru said, "The foundation of our army is in the land of Sanfu, and Kwantung is not under the control of our army, let alone the remote Yangzhou." Even if he is a Yangzhou assassin history, it is not harmless to us, if this person has an official position and a piece of territory, he will definitely not live in peace. ”
"I look at the Kwantung coalition army, the princes have different hearts, it will not take much time, it will definitely fall apart, when the time comes, the princes will rise together, this person will also add a fire to the lively Central Plains, the more chaotic the Central Plains, the better it will be for us, sit on the Cuihan, wait for the opportunity to go east, and dominate the world."
"Yes, Wen You's words are reasonable." Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's persuasion and calmed down.
"But it's impossible for him to ask for anything, I'll give him something, don't think about Yangzhou Assassin History, if you want Yangzhou, you will fight it yourself." Dong Zhuo said with a cruel smile.
"Son-in-law, I think Runan is too guarded, but it's okay." Li Ru said cautiously.
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, isn't Runan the Yuan family's territory? Let this guy go and eat dog with the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo laughed.
Now that it has been decided, the rest is only a matter of sealing, but when the jade seal of the country was evacuated from Luoyang, he didn't know where to lose it, and Dong Zhuo only asked people to make a jade seal temporarily, so the edict was issued.
This delay caused Jiang Hong to go to Pengchengguo before receiving the edict, Jiang Hong sent the envoys of the Son of Heaven away, summoned Huang Yuanchen to Cheng Yu, and asked them to discuss matters in his tent.
When the three of them came to the camp, they saw that Jiang Hong's face was very ugly, and Cheng Yu stepped forward to ask what happened.
Jiang Hong handed him the edict in his hand, and Chen Zhi and Huang Yuan on the side also gathered around Cheng Yu to watch together.
"Runan Taishou, General Lingjiang, this Dong Zhuo wants us to fight hard with the Yuan family." Huang Yuan sighed.
"Zhongde, what do you mean?" Jiang Hong asked irritably.
"This edict is really Dong Zhuo's conspiracy, and it can't be accepted." Cheng Yu said.
"That's what I mean, I'm just thinking again, do you want to send this edict to Yuan Shu's hands?"
"Yes." Cheng Yu replied.
"But won't this look too weak, others will think that I am afraid of him Yuan Shu." Jiang Hong said a little unwillingly.
"At this time, shouldn't the lord be afraid of Yuan Shu?" After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he blinked.
"Huh." After Cheng Yu's reminder, Jiang Hong also reacted, and said a little self-deprecatingly, "It's that I'm paranoid." ”
He always looks at everyone from the eyes of future generations, Yuan Shu is just a straw bale waste in his own eyes, or in the eyes of future generations, and his heart is full of contempt and disdain for Yuan Shu. It's just that, at this stage, Yuan Shu's straw bale power is much more powerful than himself, and it is normal and appropriate to admit it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hong breathed a long sigh of relief, and then ordered:
"Send someone to send this edict to Yuan Shu's hands, remember, the person who sent it must be good at his mouth, and I can say as much as I am afraid, alas, forget it, I myself, no, Zhongde, you come and write a letter for me, and then send it to Yuan Shu together with the edict." At the last moment, Jiang Hong remembered how ugly his writing was, so let Cheng Yu ghostwrite.
