The fierceness of the Bai Bo Army, Dong Zhuo can feel it.

Zhang Yan and the Southern Xiongnu are not easy to deal with, and he can also feel it.

He can't exterminate Zhang Yan, he can't completely quell the bandits in the state, if he wants to do his history of the state assassination in the future in the state, he may need to coexist with him, he needs to accept this existence that can't be ignored no matter what.

It is even necessary to cooperate with it and share power in order to maintain its rule.

Out of some idea, Dong Zhuo decided to tell Yuan Kui about this matter, and at the same time, he also sent the matter to the court at the same time, so that the general He Jin knew, and then through He Jin's channel, the Son of Heaven knew about it.

Yuan Kui's appetite is too big, what Yuan Kui wants is all the fruits of victory, of course he hopes that Dong Zhuo can take the state in one go, and then turn this credit into his own, so that he will have enough prestige to be able to do things.

But Dong Zhuo couldn't do it.

For his own interests and survival, Dong Zhuo chose to report the matter to He Jin.

After He Jin learned about this matter, he was also shocked, but he still decided to tell the emperor about this matter and let Liu Hong worry about it, he didn't want to contract this kind of thing himself.

And after Liu Hong learned about this, he was indeed very embarrassed in his heart.

The reason is very simple, because what Zhang Yan asked for was exactly what Liu Bei said to him at the beginning, and Liu Bei's suggestion was to do it in one step in exchange for the stability and recuperation of the imperial court.

But because of some inner desire, Liu Hong did something wrong and chose Lu Zhi's more radical strategy, which was reversed by General Zhang Yan.

The bleak facts told Liu Hong that it was impossible for the Han army to solve the mountain bandits in Bingzhou in a short period of time, and compromising with them might be the best way, at least the Han army, which suffered serious losses, needed a period of recuperation and recuperation, and continued to fight, not to mention that the mountain bandits in Bingzhou couldn't stand it, and the Luoyang court couldn't stand it.

The world is full of smoke!

Liu Hong sighed and looked at Zhang Rang beside him.

"Grandpa, did you say that we are going around and around, are you doing something stupid?"

"How can you say that about yourself?"

Zhang Rang hurriedly persuaded: "If you want to say something wrong, it is also Lu Zhi's fault, how can you say that it is your fault?" You've never made a mistake, it's someone else who makes the mistake, not you. ”

"But the decision is mine, and Lu Zhi is just suggesting."

Liu Hong said with emotion: "If you had followed Xuande's advice earlier and completed this matter directly in one go, maybe you wouldn't have to wait until today to be humiliated by the thieves, and now if you agree to the thieves' request, what is the difference between signing the alliance under the city?" ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhang Rang looked at Liu Hong and said slowly: "Your Majesty wants to refuse the thief's request?" ”

"Of course I want to, but ...... I want to live in peace even more. ”

Liu Hong smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, I'm really tired, I really feel so tired these days, even if I'm lying in bed, I can't rest well, opening my eyes is military information, closing my eyes is also military information in my mind, and dreaming is military information!" ”

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"Ah Gong, promise him, give him whatever he wants."

Liu Hong waved his hand tiredly: "This world is not mine alone, and with the state tax, how many copper coins can get into my hands?" Give it or not, it's the same, as long as I can manage the salt industry safely, I can have anything, and there is no shortage of half of the state.

Give this half of the annex to Zhang Yan, let him fight for power and profit with those local bastards, let them fight by themselves, kill people by themselves, and fight, maybe in the end, it will be the imperial court that will get the benefits. ”

Zhang Rang had nothing to say.

"In that case, the minister obeys."

"Well, go ahead."

Liu Hong waved his hand and made his own decision.

So Zhang Rang found He Jin and told He Jin about it.

"Your Majesty is really going to give that thief an official? Is it so simple to cheapen him? ”

"Cheap?"

Zhang Rang looked at He Jin: "How many people have died so far?" How much did it cost? Cheap? ”

He Jin was speechless.

Zhang Rang could only sigh.

"Your Majesty is very tired and just wants to rest, this matter, so be it."

"Hoo ............"

When He Jin heard this, he only felt a burst of relief in his heart, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You seem nervous too?"

Zhang Rang squinted his eyes and looked at He Jin: "You are a general of the dynasty, you are so nervous when you encounter something, it is not good for others to see it." ”

"The general will be tired too."

He Jin shook his head: "That gang of thieves is too capable of fighting, I worry about this and that all day long, I can't rest well at all, if possible, I also want to relax and sleep." ”

"The Son of Heaven can rest, how can this great general sleep peacefully?"

Zhang Rang said dissatisfiedly: "How many people in your position are staring at you and making a little mistake, but you feel better, won't I help you deal with the aftermath when the time comes?" Be careful! ”

He Jin didn't say anything.

However, after separating from Zhang Rang, He Jin pursed his lips and had an opinion on Zhang Rang's boss in his heart.

This stinky eunuch, I'm a general, and you dare to talk to me like this.

Yuan Shao is right, I have so many troops in my hands, and now I don't need to rely on others at all, I myself am a very powerful existence, how many people have to hug my thighs?

Zhang Rang, don't really think I'm afraid of you!

Hum!

He Jin quickly sent the order of the Son of Heaven to Dong Zhuo on the front line, and Dong Zhuo handed over the news to Zhang Yan's envoy, who took it back to Zhang Yan to see if Zhang Yan was satisfied with the conditions of the imperial court.

This is a real gift, and the requirement of the Luoyang Imperial Court is that as long as Zhang Yan is satisfied, he will immediately send troops to attack the Baibo Army with Dong Zhuo, and the Luoyang Imperial Court does not want to continue to delay for one more day.

This series of processes went very fast, so before Yuan Kui could react, he learned that the Son of Heaven had made a decision to make peace with Zhang Yan.

At first, Yuan Kui thought that Zhang Yan's envoy had come to talk about the conditions, Dong Zhuo only told himself, but when he inquired, he learned that Dong Zhuo had also passed the news to the general He Jin, and He Jin quickly communicated with the eunuch, and the news went straight to the Son of Heaven.

Yuan Kui was very dissatisfied.

He was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, thinking about what means to use to maximize the interests of the Yuan family, but Dong Zhuo's news passed on the two times to destroy his opportunity.

Playing poor information is one of the magic weapons that Yuan Kui relies on to win, and now this magic weapon occasionally fails once, he feels that the boss is uncomfortable, and he is very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, so he wrote to Dong Zhuo and severely criticized him.

Dong Zhuo waited for Zhang Yan's news while dealing with Yuan Kui.

Yuan Kui accused Dong Zhuo of not doing what he was told, and Dong Zhuo did not argue with Yuan Kui, but took out the lesson of Huangfu Song and Yuan Kui sold miserably.

Dong Zhuo meant that he was afraid of death, too afraid of death, and didn't want to be abandoned by Yuan Kui because of defeat, and finally ended up with the same fate as Huangfu Song.

The Son of Heaven killed Huangfu Song so frightened him, he didn't dare to bear the consequences of defeat, so he could only do everything possible to seek the possibility of not being defeated.

I'm sorry for your old man, but I'm so scared, I dreamed that the headless corpse of Huangfu Song grabbed me and asked him where his head was, and I was scared to wake up for several nights!

So you old man can be kind and forgive me for once......

Dong Zhuo directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and sold miserably was unexpected by Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui thought that Dong Zhuo felt that his wings were stiff so he floated, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to kneel directly and beg for mercy, and said that he was too scared.

When did you old boy become such a greedy guy and afraid of death?

Yuan Kui felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, when Dong Zhuo was arrogant, Huang Fu Song did not die, Dong Zhuo may have been frightened by Huang Fu Song's death, so he began to find a way out for his own life safety.

This old boy, when he shouldn't have dropped the chain, he just dropped the chain!

Yuan Kui was angry and funny, so he could only write another letter to scold Dong Zhuo, and he would not take it as an example.

After Dong Zhuo received the letter, he was glad that he had survived the catastrophe, but at the same time, a strong dissatisfaction with Yuan Kui also rose in his heart.

One day for a man, one day for a man, a lifetime of autonomy, not allowed to soar high, this painful feeling of suffocation in his heart at all times like a black cloud pressing down on the city, making him very uncomfortable.

When he was benefited, Dong Zhuo would never think of such a thing, and when he was protected by the Yuan family and made a comeback, he would not think of such a thing.

But when the benefits were not enough and he needed to work for Yuan Kui, he began to care about the preciousness of freedom - of course, this is enough to prove that Dong Zhuo is a normal person.
