Dong Zhuo took a sip of the wine cup, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "The reason why I sent troops to merge with the state before was because Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou fought inextricably. ”

"The border between Merge State and Yongzhou, if you don't take this opportunity to take Merge State, wait for the two of you to free up your hands, and regret it too late!"

"As for sending troops to Yanzhou, the same is true."

"Cao Cao, very human." "It collects millions of yellow turbans, if it takes Xuzhou, there are Yan and Xu Erzhou in hand, it will inevitably threaten the Sili region."

"If you don't take this opportunity to attack it, you will inevitably raise a tiger."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo paused and said in a deep voice: "Because of this, whether it is to send troops to join the state or send troops to Yanzhou, it is a very important strategy. ”

"Ugh." Shi Sun Rui sighed lightly after listening to Dong Zhuo's words, and sat down slowly.

Dong Zhuo just briefly recounted the reasons for sending troops to annex the state and Yanzhou before, but this was enough for Shi Sunrui.

The simple explanation reveals a clear strategic intent.

Not only Shi Sun Rui, but even Zhu Jun, Yang Biao, and Cai Yong also understood the hidden meaning of Dong Zhuo's words.

Dong Zhuo said that Shi Sun Rui was "reasonable", which means that Dong Zhuo recognized Shi Sun Rui's idea.

What you said Sun Rui, I, Dong Zhuo, understand, but there is a reason why I, Dong Zhuo, have done this, and now I will explain it to you, which is a political statement.

As for why we say so much, it is naturally because we hope that everyone will work together, not oppose because of opposition, and not look at the problem from the previous perspective.

No matter what you do, there are trade-offs, although sending troops consumes a lot, which makes the already not wealthy family even worse.

But it is very necessary to take a long-term view, although there are still many problems and troubles; But what we have to do is to solve problems, solve problems, not pull each other back.

Dong Zhuo saw that Sun Rui sat down and knew that this small group in Chang'an City would no longer be estranged in the future.

Things are sometimes so simple, Dong Zhuo, as the boss, of course he will not take the initiative to mention this matter, because when he speaks, others may feel that Dong Zhuo "admitted".

If others think that Dong Zhuo is "cowardly", then there will be many more troublesome things in the future.

And today's Shisun Rui mentioned that if Dong Zhuo is dealt with with with it with a tough attitude, then the internal estrangement of the small group of Chang'an will still exist.

Dong Zhuo explained that what Shisun Rui wants is also Dong Zhuo's attitude, and for both parties, today is a new beginning.

Dong Zhuo began to change, and these officials in Chang'an City slowly began to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, making Dong Zhuo feel that everything he had done before was not useless.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands lightly, making a burst of noise, and the short silence in the banquet was broken, and after a while, the sound of the piano came into everyone's ears.

I don't know when the maid who had been waiting quietly on the side rushed in and danced to the sound of the piano.

The song and dance sounded, and the atmosphere changed.

Dong Zhuo smiled and picked up the wine cup, "Everyone, drink together." ”

Everyone also picked up the wine cup, and saluted Dong Zhuo and said, "Respect Xiangguo." ”

Dong Zhuo was no longer polite, and directly drank the wine in the cup, feeling comfortable for a while, the small court of Chang'an was completely stable.

Looking at Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui, and Zhu Jun who participated in the banquet, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of Huangfu Song who was far away in Yanzhou.

The reason why Dong Zhuo reused Huangfu Song so reassuringly, or that his precautions against Huangfu Song were much less than those against Zhu Jun.

It is definitely not just because Dong Zhuo has a good relationship with Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Shoujian, how can politicians have any personal feelings about their children.

Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song have a "bad fate" entanglement, and the initiator of this "bad fate" is a person that Dong Zhuo admires very much.

That person was Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of Emperor Han Ling, Dong Zhuo shook his head, picked up the wine cup and drank it alone.

"Tut-tut." Dong Zhuo pouted, feeling the taste of the wine in his throat.

Among the hundred officials in the imperial court, there are many people who are hypocritical and wronged with themselves, but compared with Emperor Han Ling, his political skills are indeed much more tender.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have made so many mistakes before, and I was caught by others, and I became infamous and embarrassed.

It wasn't until later that Dong Zhuo understood that officialdom was not so playful.

Look at Liu Hong, who was supported to become the emperor at first because of his relatives Dou family, and then used the hands of eunuchs to kill the Dou family and his relatives.

Then, in order to suppress the family, the eunuchs were used to start the second "party rebellion".

Liu Hong's style, in the eyes of the children of the scholar clan, is a complete faint monarch!

But where do the eunuchs' rights come from?

As for Liu Hong, the emperor!

The use of eunuchs is Liu Hong's political means, through the eunuchs to suppress relatives and scholars, in the eyes of outsiders, eunuchs are arrogant and domineering, but in Liu Hong's eyes, they are docile like tamed "falcons" and "hunting dogs".

Probably this is the so-called "eagle dog".

Initially, in order to restrain the power of the eunuchs, Liu Hong married the daughter of the famous Song family and became the queen, who knew that the eunuch group was worried that the Song family would become the second Dou family, so they actually made a move to frame the queen.

As a last resort, Liu Hong had to abolish the queen.

From the daughter of the Song family to the queen being framed, Liu Hong knows that this is boring.

The contradiction between eunuchs and relatives is a balancing act played by the emperor, and then Liu Hongli overrode public opinion and set up He Jin's sister who had no background to be the queen, and He Jin's family became new relatives.

However, this relative of the He family is different from the previous Dou family, the He family has no background, no identity, and completely relies on Liu Hong, the emperor.

In this way, Liu Hong has the card of eunuch in his hand, and he has the card of what family, and he will crush the big families in the court to death.

After the eunuchs and relatives were in Liu Hong's hands, the civil and military officials in the court were naturally not under his control.

However, Liu Hong's balancing technique is superb, and it is precisely because of his balancing technique that Dong Zhuo has a chance!

When the Yellow Turban Thieves rebelled, Liu Hong appointed Lu Zhi to quell the rebellion, and Lu Zhi won successive battles, and finally besieged Zhang Jiao in Guangzong County.

Liu Hong saw that Lu Zhi had already surrounded the thief chieftain, so he naturally thought about it again.

Who is Lu Zhi?

The world-famous Confucian, who is respected at home and abroad, and now has military power in his hands, can Liu Hong not worry in his heart?

And then there was no then.

Lu Zhi was imprisoned for slandering a eunuch.

Dong Zhuo waited for his first chance to shine in front of the emperor.

Because it was Dong Zhuo who replaced Lu Zhi this time, but Dong Zhuo was good at cavalry combat, and he had little experience in this siege battle, and finally ended in defeat.

After Dong Zhuo's defeat, Liu Hong had to replace him with Huangfu Song, who won the victory in Yanzhou, and Huangfu Song really lived up to expectations and pacified the Jizhou Yellow Turban Thieves.

With Liu Hong's accurate vision, will Lu Zhi be imprisoned because he was fooled by the eunuchs?

Obviously, things are not so simple, and sure enough, Huangfu Song interceded for Lu Zhi after the victory, and Liu Hong exempted Lu Zhi from his crimes, and even appointed him as "Shangshu".

Although Lu Zhi, who was an official in the court, said that he still had popularity, he had no military power, so Liu Hong was naturally relieved.

However, then Huangfu Song, the pillar of the country after Lu Zhi, also touched Liu Hong's reverse scale like Lu Zhi.
