Chapter 19: Suspicion
Zhang Lang soaked in the bathtub and closed his eyes to recuperate, Yan Yuyao and the pair of sisters carefully massaged him, Zhang Lang was so comfortable that he was drowsy, compared to the previous sleepless iron-blooded battle, it was like being in heaven at this moment.
When I came out of the bathroom, a servant girl came to report that the generals were waiting in the hall.
Zhang Lang walked into the hall through the side door in a loose and comfortable casual suit. When the generals saw Zhang Lang, they couldn't help but perk up, and they hugged their fists together: "General! β
Zhang Lang walked to the top and sat down, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "I am relieved to see that everyone is fine." The generals smiled. Zhang Lang asked Zang Ba, who was standing behind Zhang Liao: "Zang Ba, what are the casualties of our army?" Zang Ba came out and hugged his fists and said: "General Huiyu, the Hulu cavalry did not cause heavy losses to our army, and the casualties were only 2,000!" Zhang Lang nodded and looked at Hao Meng: "How is the situation of those people?" Hao Meng immediately replied: "There are more than 80,000 people who follow us, and more than 60,000 people who have come to Chang'an!" Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel sad in his heart and sighed, "Have they all settled down?" "The general can rest assured that there are many empty places in Chang'an City, all of which are arranged in the city and concentrated in Xicheng District." Zhang Lang nodded and said to the generals: "Let's stop here today, let's all go back." Wenyuan, you have followed me for thousands of miles these days, have a good rest and rest! "Yes!" Zhang Liao hugged his fists and promised that not long after the generals left, a guard rushed up to the hall and knelt down and said, "General, the prime minister is here." β
Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes and muttered, "What is that dead fat man doing?" "Stand up and go out to greet you. Before he arrived at the gate, Dong Zhuo came in with a body like a mountain surrounded by everyone, and shouted enthusiastically: "Fengxian my son, I want to kill you for my father!" Zhang Lang got goosebumps all over his body.
welcomed Dong Zhuo into the lobby, invited him to take a seat, and saluted according to the etiquette of this era, and then Zhang Lang and Li Ru stood on the left and right sides.
Li Ru said: "Seeing that Feng Xian is unharmed, Enxiang can rest assured!" Bongxian may not know that during this time, Eun Xiang has been worried about Bongxian's safety! β
Zhang Lang hugged his fist at Dong Zhuo, "Thank you Prime Minister for your concern!" β
Dong Zhuo laughed, "My son is fine, I am relieved to be a father!" Then he said with some annoyance: "But Fengxian, you are really messing around!" Actually risking it for the sake of those untouchables! It shouldn't be! Moreover, because you left your post without permission, Cao Cao and other rats chased and killed all the way, but fortunately, Li Ru had the foresight to order Xu Rong to ambush the soldiers behind, so as not to lose! β
Zhang Lang pleaded dryly: "The sins of subordinates, please punish the prime minister!" β
Dong Zhuo waved his hand generously, "That's it!" Forget it! Remember the grace of the Father! β
"Don't dare to forget jì!"
Dong Zhuo laughed and glanced around, "What about my daughter-in-law?" When he asked this, his fat face showed a look of color. Zhang Lang chuckled in his heart, and scolded secretly: You dead fat pig, are you beating my wife's idea? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but raise his vigilance, and said lukewarmly: "Yuyao is still taking a nap." β
Dong Zhuo showed disappointment.
Li Ru smiled and said to Zhang Lang: "Congratulations to Feng Xian!" The day before yesterday, the Grace Prime Minister had already asked His Majesty to be warm! "Wen Hou refers to the marquis who takes Wen County as his fief and belongs to the county marquis. In the Han Dynasty, the marquis was divided into three categories: county, township, and pavilion, with the county marquis being the highest rank of marquis and the pavilion marquis being the lowest, such as the Hanshou Pavilion Marquis who Cao Cao gave Guan Yu a seal.
Zhang Lang hugged his fist at Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!" β
Dong Zhuo advised: "Being a father is really kind to you!" You have to keep it in mind! Don't forget it! β
"The last general will be firmly in mind!"
Dong Zhuo laughed.
Li Ru said: "Feng Xian worked hard all the way, rested in Chang'an for a period of time, and then went to Yunzhong County to take office. β
Zhang Lang was surprised, "I went to Yunzhong County to take office?" β
Li Ru hurriedly explained: "That's the case. In view of the threat of the Northern Kou, Enxiang played Feng Xian as the Taishou of Yunzhong County to prevent the Northern Kou! Feng Xian's subordinates are still under the command of Feng Xian, and every amount of money and food is provided by Enxiang! What does Bong Xian think? β
Zhang Lang pondered for a moment, although he didn't quite understand the other party's plan, he faintly felt that the other party seemed to be eager to squeeze him out of Chang'an. He hugged his fist towards Dong Zhuo and said: "It is the honor of the last general to be able to share the worries of the prime minister!" After a pause, "However, garrisoning the northern frontier is not something that Yunzhong County can afford, and I need the right to command the entire army of the state!" "Zhang Lang, this is asking for a sky-high price.
Dong Zhuo didn't feel anything about Zhang Lang's conditions, while Li Ru's heart chuckled and said secretly: Okay! Aren't you going to merge the whole state?
After hesitating for a moment, he felt that it was inconvenient to hand over the entire annexation to Zhang Lang, but it was difficult to veto Zhang Lang's request, so he thought of a compromise solution. Li Ru said with an embarrassed face: "If Fengxian can sit in the town and merge the state, it will naturally be better!" It's just that there are many bureaucrats who disobey the prime minister in the state, such as the county guards of Xihe County and Taiyuan County, who are the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yuan family, and have always been at odds with the prime minister. Moreover, the appointment and dismissal of the governor of a state still needs to be reported to His Majesty! Please wait a moment. β
Zhang Lang nodded, hugged his fist at Dong Zhuo and said, "It's all up to the prime minister's arrangement." β
Dong Zhuo laughed. "Fengxian, tonight I will set up a banquet in the mansion to invite the important ministers of the court, you must remember to come." "Yes!" Zhang Lang clenched his fists and promised.
Dong Zhuo said: "I'm going home." As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward to help. Dong Zhuo struggled to stand up with Li Ru's support, and Zhang Lang sent Dong Zhuo out of the gate. After seeing Dong Zhuo's car leave, he returned to the mansion.
On the carriage, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru puzzled: "Li Ru, what the hell did you do just now?" β
Li Ru hurriedly explained: "Grace is compatible. β
"Say it." Dong Zhuo said angrily.
Li Ru said: "The state is rich in land and resources, and it is close to Chang'an, if Feng has a different heart first, I am afraid that Chang'an will be in danger!" Dong Zhuo couldn't help but worry, frowned and said in embarrassment: "Then what should I do?" Don't you agree to Bong's condition? Isn't that right? β
"Eun Xiang misunderstood! I mean, Feng Fengxian is the general of the left, out of the north of the town, in charge of the state military! In this way, although the ranking is higher, it is difficult to really control the state! In addition, Enxiang can also crown Yuan Shao as the assassin of the state as a containment, but it can only be said to appease the eastern princes. In this way, Mr. Feng can be prevented from thinking about wrongdoing, and Feng can contain Yuan Shao first! You can sit back and relax! β
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, "This plan is wonderful!" β
