Although Yizhou Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu have a weak personality, they naturally know what to do and what not to do in a princely family.

When he first entered Yizhou with his father Liu Yan, he already had an inextricable relationship with the scholars in Yizhou, even if he couldn't make up his mind, the local scholars in Yizhou would make Liu Zhang's decision for his own interests.

It is logical for Liu Zhang to take over the internal affairs of Yizhou, and the current situation is pleasing to both himself and the interest groups within Yizhou.

Zhang Lu, who was in Hanzhong, immediately knew that Liu Zhang would deal with him next after learning about Liu Zhang's series of actions, so he began to guard against Liu Zhang's attack in key and critical places.

Months passed in a flash, and Dong Zhuo, who was in Yongzhou, received news one after another.

When I saw the news of Yizhou Liu Zhang and Hanzhong Zhang Lu, I just smiled silently, things have already begun, just waiting to ferment slowly.

In addition to the news from Yizhou, there are also news from several other places.

After Cao Cao fled to Jizhou, Yuan Shao greeted him, and after the two reminisced, Yuan Shao also allocated some soldiers and horses for Cao Cao to attack Qingzhou.

Tian Kai, who was in Qingzhou, had no idea that he would face Cao Cao, a "homeless" person, next.

The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan was still in full swing, but both sides were more restrained in comparison, and it was said that it was because of Dong Zhuo's army in the state.

When Dong Zhuo learned the news, he couldn't cry or laugh.

I wanted Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to fight for both of them, and they would sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but they didn't expect that because of themselves, both sides were jealous.

Liangzhou is currently stable, and with the support of Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Ma Chao will obey the Qiang people in Liangzhou.

At the same time, the righteous son Ma Chao also sent a letter, saying that he was willing to lead the army to solve Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others for his father-in-law.

However, Dong Zhuo only smiled, and just replied to let him train his soldiers and horses, so as to be of great use.

Let Ma Chao send troops from Liangzhou to fight Yuan Shao, who is now in Jizhou, isn't this nonsense.

From Liangzhou to Jizhou, it is not as good as directly expanding the armies of Zhang Liao and Xu Rong in the state.

At the same time, the news of Sun Ce in Yangzhou entered Dong Zhuo's field of vision for the first time, if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's constant staring at Yangzhou, I am afraid that I would not have gotten this news.

Yangzhou Sun Ce, Sun Jian's eldest son was ordered by Yuan Shu to attack the Lujiang River, but he didn't fight!

The legendary Jiangdong overlord, Sun Ce led the army to fight and suffered a small loss, and attacked Lujiang City but did not defeat it.

After Dong Zhuo saw this battle report, he pondered for a moment and asked Li Ru at the beginning, "Wen You, Lujiang Taishou is currently Lu Kang, right?" ”

Li Ru saluted and said: "Back to the lord, it is Lu Kang, when His Majesty succeeded to the throne before, Lu Kang sent filial piety to pay tribute to the imperial court, and was crowned as a loyal general, with a rank of 2,000 stones. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and muttered, "It's a loyal minister." ”

Lu Kang is loyal to the Han family, and he has some political achievements as an official, of course, there are many people with political achievements in the Han Dynasty, and the reason why Dong Zhuo mentions him is because Lu Kang is Lu Wei's brother.

And Lu Xun has an amazing son named Lu Xun!

However, the news from Yangzhou can reach Yongzhou is already very good, and it is really difficult for Dong Zhuo to influence Yangzhou.

"Tribute."

"Tribute." Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of something, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

Li Ru saw his lord muttering to himself, and he also quieted down.

After a long time, Dong Zhuo still had no clue, and at this moment, Li Ru, who was at the head of the house, said tentatively: "My lord, but do you want to find out who pays tribute to the imperial court?" ”

"Yangzhou Lu Kang, Xuzhou Tao Qian, and Jingzhou Liu Biao all sent people to Yongzhou to pay tribute after His Majesty succeeded to the throne."

"Hahahaha!"

"That's right! Right! Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, "Liu Biao! ”

"Hmph." Dong Zhuo snorted in his nose, "Yuan Shu, this person will bully the soft and fear the hard, he doesn't dare to offend me, and he can't beat Cao Cao, so he went to bully Liu Miao in Yangzhou." ”

"This Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian, and he should not be underestimated, if he is allowed to take Lujiang, it will definitely be a disaster in the future."

"There is no way for us to wait for the whip chief, but Jingzhou is quite close to Yangzhou."

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru: "If the prime minister asks Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu in the name of the emperor, what does Wen You think?" ”

Li Ru frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "Lord, if you want Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

"Although Liu Biao is different from Liu Yan, he is also an old treacherous and cunning person, if there is no benefit, I am afraid he will only shirk."

"What's more, Liu Biao is quite fond of talking, I'm afraid he doesn't know much about military affairs, if he wins, it's fine, if he is defeated, won't he increase Yuan Shu's prestige again?"

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, making Li Ru look confused.

finally suppressed his smile, only to see Dong Zhuo Zhengse say, "Wenyou, you are underestimating Liu Biao." ”

"Previously, Liu Biao said that Liu Yan intended to rebel, but now he took advantage of Liu Yan's illness and sent people to Yizhou to carry out a divisive plan, and the Jiangdong Tiger died in the hands of Huang Zu."

"This is still a little closer, in the distance, he rode into Jingzhou alone, and the integration of the big families in Jingzhou is obedient."

"Liu Biao's ability is not under Liu Yan, but he may be a little frustrated, and he just wants to guard his own one-third of an acre."

"But Wen You's words are not unreasonable, I'm afraid he will shirk." Saying this, Dong Zhuo stood up and sneered: "Since you are afraid that he will shirk, let him shirk it." ”

"This prime minister can play Your Majesty, and order Liu Biao to be the general of Zhennan and the pastor of Jingzhou."

"In addition, he was also allowed to set up Changshi, Sima, and Zhonglang, and open the government to summon Peng's subordinates."

"In the end, you can give him a fake festival to supervise the military of Jing, Jiao, and Yang!"

"This ......" Li Ru frowned and began to calculate, "My lord, is Liu Biao's power too great?" ”

"What's so hard about that?" Dong Zhuo paused, "Now that I am young, I am lacking a companion around me, and I heard that Liu Cong, the second son of Liu Biao, is just the right age." ”

"You can order Liu Cong to enter the palace to accompany you!"

When Li Ru heard this, he was puzzled, "My lord, entering the palace to accompany him is really a hostage, and since he is a hostage, why not take Liu Biao's eldest son as a hostage?" ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and explained with a smile: "Wen You." "There's a saying you don't know if you've ever heard."

"The emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the young."

"Liu Biao's son is not ordinary this time, the news from Jinyiwei that he married the daughter of the Cai family in Jingzhou."

When Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo say this, his eyes lit up, and he instantly understood.

"The master's plan is not as good as Confucianism!"

"Although Jingzhou is controlled by Liu Biao, it is better to say that Liu Biao is the link, and Cai, Huang, and Kuai are in charge of several families."

"Liu Biao is old, and Liu Cong married the daughter of the Cai family, so if Liu Biao dies, Liu Cong will definitely be the best candidate to replace Liu Biao."

"Even if Liu Biao doesn't feel sorry for this son, then the Cai family will find some way to mediate it."

"It's just, how to get Liu Cong into Beijing? If Liu Biao doesn't want his son to enter Beijing, how can the Cai family get in the way? ”

Dong Zhuo smiled, "This is simple, at that time, it will be said that Liu Biao's two sons are good, and His Majesty is short of people, so he ordered him to send his son to Beijing." ”

"In this way, Liu Biao will definitely not obey."

"But buying and selling, asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground can be negotiated in the end."

"If a son is unwilling to enter Beijing, wouldn't he look down on Dong too much?!"
