—184 A.D.——

Xiliang Wuwei, Thorn Mansion.

“…… Xiliang [Ma] family ......"

“…… And there is a messenger in the state [to] ......"

"...... [Cheng] Hotel ......"

“…… Lord [male]? ”

Since comprehending some strange "prophetic peerless", Dong Zhuo has fallen in love with the form of "gathering a large number of subordinates to discuss matters or banquets, and sitting on his own head and listening from afar".

The advantage of this is that most of the specific discussions of subordinates are related to the recent or future plans of their own forces, and it is very likely that the "prophecy" will be related to it when it appears, and it will be easier to have a "prophecy" reference when you need to make your own decision.

But the disadvantage is that if the words or homonyms needed for a key prophecy are not in their topic, they will be missed without knowing it, such as "Zhao Yun came to visit, became friends with Zhang Liao, and jointly broke a conspiracy between the imperial court and the Xiongnu to deal with the Taiping Dao", how many words do Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi have to say to each other before they can spell it out in the most concise sentences? Not to mention that those two little granddaughters don't like to talk much at all.

Another disadvantage is that if someone gets too close to the news, the "prophecy" will be interrupted, and that is the case.

Dong Zhuo turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from: "Oh, it's Wenhe, what's the matter?" ”

Presumably, there will be no bad news, although the prophecy this time is interrupted, but the words "immediately to success" cannot run.

Jia Xu had a mustache upturned up, a strange purple turban, a baina wrap that was often worn by the Qiang midstream merchants, and a strange weapon like a lasso and a hook and sickle hanging from his waist.

However, he himself is indeed more inclined to be on the front line to respond to the situation and even personally arrange the traps required for certain strategies, if it is inferred from the title "Gu Hou" that he always stays in the rear to control the overall situation, he is afraid that he will suffer a big loss.

"Wen You is explaining the plan to the participants of this prisoner robbery operation, and he must be able to successfully achieve the lord's goal," Jia Xu pointed to Li Ru, who was talking to a military general in the distance, and continued: "I came to add a few words to the lord in advance. ”

Before others came to report, he had to "add two sentences", was it because Li Ru couldn't think of it? Dong Zhuo wanted to laugh a little and said, "Let's listen to it." ”

"In the case of being sure that there will be the support of the Hun cavalry, we should take the opportunity to destroy the relationship between the Ten Standing Servants and the Xiongnu," Jia Xu said: "The Ten Standing Servants are not easy to be fooled, but the simple-minded Xiongnu tribes are not, the lord can choose soldiers and rangers from the Central Plains, and then make the similar-looking person dress up as the commander of the escort team, and cut off his back when the Xiongnu reinforcements are defeated and flee, and his subordinates will take the initiative to appear, but they will 'inadvertently' be seen by them Commander', and then let the leader of the Huns go, and keep their messengers in close control of each other, it would be a great deal. ”

"Hmm......" Dong Zhuo thought about it, after handing over Han Sui to Jia Xu, he had a lot of arrangements at the border, and it was not surprising to know some secrets related to foreign races, but this response sounded a little abrupt, and it seemed that some prerequisites were missing?

"My lord." At this time, Li Ru, who was wearing a scribe's robe, also finished explaining to those generals, and approached to report to Dong Zhuo: "After discussion, we believe that the escort commander did not set off immediately, but stayed in Jiuquan, most likely because he was waiting for reinforcements, presumably in addition to the defeated Xiongnu, another group of reinforcements are on the way. ”

Oh, this is one of the premises, Dong Zhuo nodded, motioning for Li Ru to continue.

According to the speculation of the subordinates, one is to attract the Taiping Dao remnants to rob the prisoners, and the other is to detain the lord to make friends with the Xiongnu and the Qin prisoners, so we should strictly guard against the invasion of the Huns, and send heavy troops to intercept the team, but never leave evidence of participating in the Taiping Dao prisoner robbery operation, and even rescue them afterwards, so that they can not find any excuse, at most one' In this regard, the subordinates have several strategic arrangements, as long as the lord agrees, they can be implemented according to the order. Li Ru talked eloquently.

This is the second premise...... Dong Zhuo listened with a strange expression, if Jia Xu said "subordinates add two sentences" at this time, and then said what he just said, it would be perfectly connected, but he had already said it one step earlier, which made Li Ru ...... Suppressed intellectually.

"That's very good...... You can send orders down and order the generals to carry them out. Seeing that Jia Xu didn't intend to speak at all, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to respond.

————

In order not to leave evidence of "participating in the robbery", Dong Zhuo ordered Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, Zhang Ke and other easily distinguishable faces to lead a team to clean up the perimeter of the escort route, called patrolling, in fact, to intercept the Xiongnu who did not know where they would enter the country.

And Zhang Mancheng, Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao and other generals and subordinate Taoists wore Liangzhou military uniforms, disguised as guards from all over the country, and prepared to change their clothes for a surprise attack when the escort team passed by, and Niu Fu, who was not very famous and had a public face, was sent to lead people to sweep away the traces left by the appearance of the "Taiping Army".

Zhang Jie, the daughter of the Taiping Dao Ancestor, seemed to want to participate in the action very much, but because she was too recognizable, she could hardly hide her traces after starting the action, and was finally solemnly asked by that Ma Yuanyi to stay in Dong Zhuo's house honestly to play with Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi.

As for Dong Zhuo himself, it was too strange to go out in person because of some trivial things, and he couldn't go back to the back house to avoid suspicion, so he called Li Ru to go to Wuwei to inspect the streets of Wuwei together.

Out of some kind of idea of watching a good show, Dong Zhuo did not inform Li Ru of Jia Xu's plan, but he smiled silently when he wondered "Jia Wenhe went to cut off whom".

"Father-in-law," when there were no other subordinates around, Li Ru would use a more intimate title, and at the same time, the things he said were generally more private: "You seem to be a little fatter again." ”

This is no longer a private matter, but a slander! Dong Zhuo looked at this son-in-law.

"The 'prophecy' and 'Wushuang' you comprehend require you to stay away from the crowd and listen quietly to take effect, but you shouldn't have snacks at hand either," Li Ru said: "When my son-in-law arranged the action before, you ate while listening and eating, and ate at least two plates of dim sum. ”

"......" Dong Zhuo looked at the slightly tight assassin official uniform on his body, and then looked at Li Ru, whose robe was empty and could almost hold the wind, and began to think back to how this habit was formed.

It seems that when he heard something important "prophecy" from Dong Bai and Lu Lingqi once, his eyes were a little eager, but Dong Bai, who was eating pastries, looked at him for a long time, and finally ran over with her snacks very reluctantly, saying "Grandfather eat".

None, unable to refuse......

At this time, due to the temporary silence in the carriage carriage, the noise of the market outside constituted a kind of "prophecy".

"[Thousand Miles of Grass, Moon Baba, Ten Days, Half and a Half of the Moon]"

That's enough! Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru viciously: "Wenhe, do you know how old Ah Bai and Lingqi are?" When are I going to have my second grandson? ”

For some reason, Li Ru, who has been childless, is silent.

The back house of the Assassin's Mansion.

"I should go and help the senior brother, or other uncles and uncles," Zhang Jie complained, turning the apricot yellow flag in her hand, "instead of playing with the two little girls here." ”

The entire rescue operation was arranged, and there was no task for Zhang Jie at all, and Ma Yuanyi said very euphemistically, "If Miss accidentally gets lost, I'm afraid it will have an adverse impact on this operation, and Miss doesn't want the Qingniujiao Altar Master to be escorted to Luoyang." ”

So, she can only watch the two little girls in the back garden of the Dong family feed each other with a plate of snacks, but what makes Zhang Jie a little strange is that the Dong family's servant woman and Yahuan will only quickly remove the new ones on the plate before the snacks are eaten up, and they don't stop at all, let alone take care of them.

"Isn't it because we have more Taoist disciples and more influence?" The girl kicked the pebbles by the fish pond in boredom, "I've asked everyone to shrink as hard as they can, how can you still ...... like this"

Dong Bai, who was dressed in a pink dress, ate another plate of dim sum, suddenly tilted his head to look at the apricot yellow flag in Zhang Jie's hand, blinked his eyes slightly suspiciously, and then saw it flickering again, so he jumped off the stone bench and ran closer to observe Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a black dress.

"Hmm...... What the? Zhang Jie, who found herself surrounded by two girls, raised the apricot yellow flag: "This is a gift from my father, it seems that I have a lot of abilities, and the meaning of flashing yellow light is ...... Enemies approaching? ”

Zhang Jie looked around in surprise, while Dong Bai continued to stare at the Xinghuang Banner that was flashing faster and faster, as if he wanted to open his mouth, but was pulled by Lu Lingqi and stopped.

"Dangchang!" A maid who came to deliver snacks fell to the ground with a plate, revealing a woman dressed in black and covering her face with a black scarf.

"Hehehe......" The woman smiled in a low voice: "Dong Liangzhou really harbored the people of Taiping Dao, and he is still the daughter of Dao Ancestor Zhang Jiao, it is really worth the trip." ”

"Who are you!" Zhang Jie raised her apricot yellow flag and opened a semicircular orange-yellow barrier in front of her.

"The proprietor is really too careful, in order to prevent the investigation of the house from being discovered and angering Dong Zhuo, he also specially selected the woman."

"With this charge, even if it is a man, he has nothing to say, what now? Bring these three little girls back to Luoyang? ”

The other two voices sounded, and a woman in black appeared behind each of Zhang Jie's sides, swinging the orange and yellow barrier back and forth in a panic, but she couldn't protect all the angles.

"Don't bother, little girl, we have our own way to get rid of your 'Taiping Secret Technique'." When Zhang Jie turned the "barrier" towards her, a woman in black raised her hand and threw out a handful of brown powder, causing the "barrier" to disappear directly after only a brief flash.

The brightness on the apricot yellow flag in Zhang Jie's hand began to increase as if she was angry, but she paused halfway, and it quietly dimmed as if she had thought of something.

The three women in black, who thought they had a chance of victory, were chatting leisurely.

"These little girls may have some skills, but don't worry, so do you want to leave a name after you take them away?"

'What to leave?' Is the sable cicada here for a visit'? ”

"That's—"

[Ahh

Boom!

With a loud bang and a sudden burst of yellow smoke, an angry-eyed King Kong with no legs, floating in the air, and wearing a yellow ribbon appeared in front of Zhang Jie, but the three women in black were nowhere to be seen.
