Lin Sen was resting, and a small colonel outside came in and said, "There is a person named Li Ru outside the lord, and he said that Dong Zhuo came to make an envoy. ”

"Oh? Then let him in. ”

Seeing Li Ru coming in, Lin Sen was ready to tease: "Wen Xiansheng, what did Dong Zhuo ask you to do?" Are you ready to surrender? ”

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Lin Sen was giving himself a disgrace, so he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "General Lin said that he was joking, Dong Xiangguo ordered him to tell the general a great happy event when he came down." ”

As soon as Lin Sen heard the lecture and knew that his time for blackmail had come, but he couldn't say it at once, and said with a smile: "Happy event? What's the happy event? ”

"Xiangguo wants to give the general the post of general left, and to form an alliance with the general, from now on we will share weal and woe, the general can come if he needs it, if there are relatives of the general who want to become officials, Xiangguo promised to appoint them as assassins and guards, I don't know what the general wants?"

"General Zuo? Coalition? Nonsense, he Dong Zhuo is crazy, I now occupy Hangu Pass, he Lu Fengxian has gathered millions of troops and has not been able to attack for a long time, and he has already cut off the way, not to mention that there is an army of princes who is marching towards Luoyang, and he will be able to take his head Dong Zhuoxiang in a few days. Why should I talk about peace with the alliance? I don't talk about peace. ”

Li Ru saw that Lin Sen's speech was not very intense, so he guessed that it was possible to make peace, so he waited for the salute, so he continued: "General Lin is only tens of thousands, Dong Xiangguo has millions of elite soldiers, and there are no less than tens of millions of defenders everywhere. As for the coalition army, although there are many people, it is a rabble, and each has its own contradictions, and it must be in chaos in a few days, I believe the general knows better than me, how the general should deal with himself at that time. ”

Li Ru saw that Lin Sen was silent, so he continued: "Now that the general is alone in Hanguguan, there are no reinforcements, and the so-called long-term defense will be lost. And Dong Xiangguo didn't want to be the enemy of the general, so he was willing to make peace and pay the corresponding price. ”

As soon as Lin Sen heard that Dong Zhuo was willing to take the initiative to be slaughtered, he said: "What you said is not unreasonable, then since this is the case, I will ask Dong Zhuo for twenty great master craftsmen, fifty masters of all kinds, five thousand master-level craftsmen, 20,000 senior craftsmen, 10,000 people with S-level qualifications, and 100,000 people with A-level qualifications." 100,000 sets of yellow weapons and equipment, 50 million catties of gold, a complete set of orange-level weapons and equipment manufacturing drawings, as for the grade, it depends on Dong Zhuo's sincerity, as well as the corpses of foreign beasts that are assisted in building, and the purple-level drawings also depend on his Dong Zhuo's sincerity, and he can give as much as he wants. In addition, I also want Lu Zigan, Zhu Gongwei, Huangfu Yizhen's family, and by the way, Cai Bojiao's family. ”

Li Ru was shocked, feeling that Lin Sen was obviously a lion's mouth, he wanted so many things, and he had no way to call the shots, so he said: "General, this is a bit excessive, how can Dong Xiangguo take out so many things?" ”

Lin Sen pretended to be furious: "There is no room for bargaining, Dong Zhuo agreed, I will withdraw from Hangu Pass, if I don't agree, I will defend it, don't scare me, I have my own general Chen Zhi led the army is attacking Luoyang, I believe you also know that I have crossed the Yellow River and approached Luoyang, even if the coalition army does not move, my headquarters soldiers and horses can rescue me, I believe that General Sun Wentai is also storming Luoyang at this time." ”

"General Mingjian, Jingshi Luoyang really can't take out so many craftsmen, and there are yellow equipment, Dong Xiangguo's army is not fully equipped, how can there be any excess to give to the general, and please reduce some requirements for the general!"

"Then you say, what price can Dong Zhuo pay!"

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "There are 300 master-level craftsmen, 1,000 high-level craftsmen, 1,000 sets of yellow-level weapons and equipment, 1,000 gold millions, and a set of purple equipment blueprints, as for the common people and Lu Zigan and others, they can be handed over to the general!" ”

Lin Sen was furious, what is this price, he has a lot more reserves in Qingquan City than this, and immediately shouted: "It seems that Dong Zhuo is not sincere, you go, there is no need for us to talk, tell Dong Zhuo, I will fight with him endlessly!" ”

Li Ru panicked, if he went back like this, not only would he not be able to complete the task, but Dong Zhuo's safety was unknown, so he immediately said: "Don't be like this, don't be like this, then what does the general mean to pay for Xiangguo?" There are too many things that the general mentioned just now, as long as it is reasonable, he will definitely not bargain! ”

"One Grand Master-level blacksmith, one tailor, one carpenter, ten Grandmaster-level craftsmen of all kinds, 10,000 sets of yellow-level weapons and equipment, 100,000 sets of blue-level weapons, and other conditions will not be changed! But if Wen Xiansheng can come to my account and work for me, I can do without those weapons and gold, and there are also masters and senior craftsmen who can also be halved! ”

"Huh! The general laughed, where can I get into the general's eyes! Li Ru sighed again and said: "That is the case, I will wait for the next time to go back and say that I will make another decision with Dong Xiangguo." ”

"Hahaha!" Lin Sen laughed and said: "In this case, Mr. will go back and persuade Dong Zhuo, I feel that you can say that you can move Dong Zhuo, whether it is life or death......" Li Ru returned to Dong Zhuo with a bitter face after hearing this.

"What! Is this Lin Sen crazy to extort so much money from him. Since this is the case, I will personally lead a large army to attack Hangu Pass, and I will definitely kill Lin Sen'er. After Li Ru returned to Luoyang and said that he heard it with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was furious.

Li Ru hurriedly dissuaded from the side: "Xiangguo is angry, Xiangguo is angry!" Now Yuan Shao and others are pressing very tightly, and Chen Zhi, the general under Lin Sen, has already hit a place very close to Luoyang, if we can't quickly move to Chang'an through Hangu Guanxi, it will inevitably be surrounded, and then we will fall into an unfavorable situation. ”

Dong Zhuo calmed down his anger a little after hearing this, and said, "That can't let Lin Sen blackmail me like this." ”

Li Ru smiled: "Xiangguo Mingjian, Lin Sen just wants some money and craftsmen, there are countless treasures in the treasury, Xiangguo only needs to take out a little bit, it can be exchanged for safety, as long as the Son of Heaven and the court are still in the hands of Xiangguo, they can smoothly move west to Chang'an, with the wisdom of Xiangguo, the elite of the Flying Bear Army, the world will be Xiangguo's sooner or later, why don't you just take out vulgar things, these treasures will still be there sooner or later." ”

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo also felt that what Li Ru said was very right, so he let out a sigh: "Since this is the case, then I will summon Lin Sen, and I agree to what he asked." ”

Li Ru took the opportunity to pat himself on the back: "Xiangguo Shengming!" With that, he went out and arranged everything.

Speaking of these things that Lin Sen wants may be very excessive for others, but for Dong Zhuo, it is completely a drop in the bucket, he has been collecting the people's money in Luoyang these days, stealing and digging the emperor's tomb, in order to accumulate countless money, there are countless treasures in the palace, drawings and beasts are not a problem at all, 10,000 sets of yellow-level weapons and equipment are taken out of his army, as for the craftsmen and Lu Zhi that Lin Sen wants, it is even more no problem, Luoyang is an imperial city, with a population of tens of millions in the city, and it is no problem for more than 10,000 craftsmen.

Lin Sen was also afraid that his own price was too ruthless, Dong Zhuo did not agree, and then attacked himself, although Hangu Pass is Xiongguan, but there are only more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, if Dong Zhuo does not attack himself, then he will definitely not be able to hold it, and the alliance of princes in history is unreliable, and it has been delayed, then he will be finished. At this time, Lin Sen was completely gambling, but he didn't expect to be really gambled by himself
