Chapter 176: Dong Zhuo's cake for the princes

The guard of Hangu Pass has been replaced by Xu Rong at this time; The guard of Tongguan behind him was Niu Fu who was summoned from Hedong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As for Li Dao and Guo Yan, they had already been recalled by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an to escort them.

Now Dong Zhuo only believes in these old brothers who started with him. For example, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, as well as Zhang Liao and others, although they were not sent aside, they were no longer able to see Dong Xiangguo anytime and anywhere.

Xu Rong's loyalty to Dong Zhuo has nothing to say.

At the beginning, the Xiliang Army camp under the Tiger Prison was presided over by Xu Rong. In the end, after Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, Xu Rong took an elite army to fight his way out of the encirclement and fled back to Hangu Pass.

Xu Rong is good at defense, and fighting his way out of the encirclement is not his forte.

However, more than 100,000 Xiliang elites worked together, and in any direction of the allied encirclement, no prince had the strength to leave them!

At least, Xu Rong successfully escaped into Hangu Pass, and brought in nearly 20,000 Xiliang Jingqi by the way.

With Xu Rong stationed at Hangu Pass, plus Li Dao and Guo Yan returning to his side, Dong Zhuo can finally sleep peacefully this time.

It's just that I don't know if Dong Zhuo is no longer restrained, or the nature of the Xiliang Army, and the ability of the Xiliang Army to search for land is also quite good.

Dong Zhuo's nearly 200,000 stone grains and grass lost in front of Hangu Pass, as well as the countless money and silk, were quickly raised again. Even, the harvest of looting the Chang'an area is more than that of Luoyang at the beginning!

Anyway, Dong Zhuo didn't want to talk to the Kwantung princes anymore this time, he just wanted to hold the Son of Heaven and the court in his hands, and live the rest of his life comfortably.

It's just that when the hundreds of thousands of allied troops arrived in Luoyang, they neither knocked on Hangu Pass nor dispersed, although Dong Zhuo knew that Hangu Pass was solid in Xu Rong's hands, he was still a little worried.

On this day, Dong Zhuo sat on the side of the Son of Heaven as usual and helped the Son of Heaven deal with government affairs that seemed to be endless.

didn't want to, but Li Ru quickly entered the court, ran to Dong Zhuo's side, and reported to him the latest news: Dozens of officials who had been robbed in front of Hangu Pass were returning to Chang'an under the leadership of Cai Yong.

At this time, Cai Yong and the others had already arrived at Hangu Pass and were waiting for Dong Zhuo's permission to release.

This is still Xu Rong did not dare to specialize, and after receiving Cai Yong and them, he flew horses to summon Chang'an.

With Xu Rong's messenger came, there was also Cai Yong and the others who brought the invitation to seal the song.

It was the princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Allied Army who asked for their own titles.

Under the total number of staff officers of the Allied army's many dog-headed divisions, the note of the invitation was written in a brilliant and tactful manner.

Anyway, the central idea of the song is one: you Dong Zhuo hurry up and give us all a big cake, and after we divide it, we can pat our butts and go home; Otherwise, we will continue to go west and go to Hangu Pass to play.

……

After retiring from the dynasty, Dong Zhuo left Li Ru and prepared to discuss whether to "approve" the Kwantung princes' request for Feng Songshu.

According to Dong Zhuo's temperament, your Kwantung princes rubbed it according to Lao Tzu, and when you look back, you still want Lao Tzu to give you a marquis, and you have to divide the territory?

Don't even think about it!

However, Dong Zhuo's IQ is still not low.

If you want to live the second half of your life comfortably and unscrupulously, you can't let these princes jump back again.

At least, they can't be blatantly blatantly come to him for trouble with Dong Xiangguo.

Therefore, after seeing Yuan Shao's performance, Dong Zhuo immediately understood that this was also an opportunity to dismiss the ASEAN army.

However, Dong Zhuo also knows that it is difficult to fill the word.

If you "approve" Yuan Shao and their recitals today, and see him Dong Xiangguo is easy to speak, will these guys come again tomorrow, and will they continue to come to the recital every once in a while?

The official positions of the imperial court, the titles of the princes, and the territories and cities of other states and counties, Dong Zhuo didn't care much about the divisions to the princes of the Kwantung region.

Anyway, those are not his Dong Zhuo's things, as long as Yuan Shao and the others can stop coming to him Dong Xiangguo's troubles, the generous measures of others are just a matter of edicts for Dong Zhuo.

"Wen You, let's talk about it, do we want to answer Yuan Shao's recital."

Dong Zhuo had actually agreed with Yuan Shao and them in his heart, but he didn't want Yuan Shao and them to get the cake comfortably, so he asked Li Ru to help take precautions.

"Back to Xiangguo, in Li Ru's opinion, we must not only agree to Yuan Shao's request for a feud, but also put their fiefs on the territory of other princes."

"Like Yuan Shao, isn't he just a Bohai Sea guard now? Let's directly crown him as the former general of the imperial court, and then crown him as the assassin of Youzhou. ā€

Yuan Shao was already ambitious, and he would definitely retire from the army after being appointed. But Yuan Shao wanted to serve as Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan of Beiping was his wayblock. At this time, Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, must also want to take advantage of the situation to take back Bohai County. ā€

In this way, Yuan Shao had Gongsun Zan in front of him, and Han Fu wanted to drive him away; After Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Gongsun Zan returned to Jizhou and Youzhou, they would inevitably have to be entangled in life and death, and they would no longer be able to look west. ā€

"As for Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, the Taishou under his rule do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and Xiangguo only needs to add the titles of Liu Dai and the Taishou of Yanzhou counties."

"At the same time, Cao Cao must also be planted in Yanzhou."

"Even if Cao Cao is strong and wants to make a difference in Yanzhou, those princes who are also allies will naturally pull him back."

"In this way, it will be difficult to decide where Yanzhou belongs within three to five years!"

These plans, Li Ru privately discussed with Jia Xu for a long time after receiving the request from the allies sent by Xu Rong to seal the song.

In a word, don't you Kwantung princes want cities and territories?

Okay, our Xiliang Army will double the reward for you on behalf of the imperial court, as for the dogs and teeth in the rest of the country, whether you can have the strength to get it depends on your respective abilities!

By the time these princes bite the dog and bite the result, he, Li Ru and Jia Xu, would have already gone wild!

……

After more than an hour of discussion, Li Ru not only arranged the territory and city of the princes of the Eighteenth Route in a tight and orderly manner, but even the right-hand men under the command of those princes, Li Ru also arranged to turn them over from time to time.

Taking advantage of this trend of separation, Li Ru not only wanted to let the princes eat dogs, but also to estranged those princes from the generals under their command.

After all, when the princes and bosses saw that the younger brother was also divided, they would definitely subconsciously think:

He is a prince all the way, and now he is just a county guard, you kid is just a military general who follows us, how can he be on an equal footing with us and become a county guard?

Even if he knew that this was Dong Zhuo's strategy for differentiation, the seeds of distrust would always sprout.

"So, should these three notes also be agreed?!" After discussing the princes of the Eighteen Roads, Dong Zhuo threw out three more notes, and his tone was already full of deep hatred.

Li Ru didn't need to look closely to know who the three notes were for.

You must know that whether it is the recital of the princes of the Eighteen Roads or these three recitals, although Dong Zhuo needs to cut it in the end, it is the first thing he Li Ru has seen.

There are three copies, one is handed by Yuan Shao, one is handed by the great Confucian Cai Yong, and one is handed over by the eldest princess.

And these three copies of the confession are the same person - Hao Meng, who is not a prince but has become famous all over the world!

For Hao Meng, Dong Xiangguo has every reason to grit his teeth.

It can be said that the decline of the Xiliang Army and Dong Zhuo's westward migration were caused by the eighteenth road princes organized by Yuan Shao to fight against Dong, but Hao Meng was the executioner standing at the forefront!

Tiger Prison Pass was captured, and Hao Meng played a major role in it.

The fall of Lu Bu, the number one in the world, was also contributed by Hao Meng again and again.

Even when he Dong Zhuo was intercepted and killed when he moved west, Hao Meng and Cao Mengde came together.

Now, I still want him Dong Xiangguo to knight Hao Meng, is it that he Dong Xiangguo hasn't woken up yet, or is Hao Meng's guy in a dream?

Of course, if Hao Meng was a prince all the way, Dong Zhuo might pinch his nose and admit it, casually reward Hao Meng with a piece of land, and send things out from afar.

However, the current Hao Meng is just a mountain village man, who beat him Dong Zhuo and asked him Dong Xiangguo for a title, does this not take him Dong Xiangguo seriously at all?

……

"Dare to ask Xiangguo, do we still have the strength to go out to deal with Hao Meng's guy now?" Li Ru asked.

Seeing Dong Zhuo shaking his head and saying nothing, Li Ru continued: "Since we don't have the strength to destroy Hao Meng, why don't we follow the example of the Kwantung princes and throw Hao Meng on the territory of those princes?" ā€

"In the future, the princes of all walks of life in the world will inevitably attack and kill each other in order to compete for the territory of the city; Hao Mengkong has the strength of a general, but he does not have the power of the princes, so he can be destroyed by the hands of other princes. ā€

"What's more, Hao Meng also asked Cai Yong to bring a generous gift of 10 million money to Xiangguo, and after satisfying Hao Meng's invitation, we can not only accept the generous gift with peace of mind, but also let others teach this guy a lesson by the way."

"Why don't you do it?"

To be honest, Li Ru and Jia Xu privately accepted bribes of five million money, which really shocked them, and they also saw Hao Meng's imperative to win the title.

Moreover, he Li Ru and Jia Xu are preparing for a retreat, this is not a matter of patting the ass and leaving, it is when a lot of money is needed, and the bribe of five million money cannot be moved by Li Ru.

Besides, as Li Ru said just now, if you accept the bribe, we will also give you Hao Meng a title and territory, as for whether you have the ability to get it, that is your Hao Meng's own problem.

Of course, Hao Meng is under the watchful eye of many princes, whether he can hold his territory and grow up is not something that he Li Ru needs to care about!

……

In fact, when he heard that Cai Yong was about to be a lobbyist for Hao Meng with 10 million money, Dong Zhuo had already agreed with Li Ru's statement and was ready to find a place to seal it for Hao Meng.

As for which county or which city, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru have to consult in detail. (To be continued.) )
