In the face of the ironclad facts, the eunuchs were silent.

A few days ago, Liu Bei secretly convened a meeting of the eunuchs, saying that they might be co-opted by He Jin and Yuan Kui, and that He Jin and Yuan Kui would give them conditions that they could not refuse, in exchange for their cooperation.

Then Liu Bei said that none of this was true, and He Jin and the Yuan clan would never tolerate the eunuchs sharing the fruits of victory with them after success, so they would definitely break their promise and let the eunuchs never believe He Jin and Yuan Kui.

Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent servants, disagreed with this statement and felt that Liu Bei lacked consideration.

"He Jin is a general, Yuan Kui is a court situ, they are both people who say their word, will such a character also break the oath he made at will? Aren't they worried about their wrath? ”

Damnation?

Liu Bei sneered.

"Then it is better to make an agreement, you can ask them to get the army afterwards, if they don't agree, it means that they really want to join forces with you, and intend to share the results with you afterwards, so they are worried and do not want them to control the army.

If they agree without thinking, it means that you are already dead in their eyes, and what military power can the dead have? What profit can a dead person share? So they don't need to think about this crucial issue at all. ”

The eunuchs looked at each other at that time.

As a result, a few days later, He Jin and Yuan Kui really came to talk to them about cooperation, and they really promised to give them military power and let them protect themselves.

Guo Sheng had nothing to say.

The rest of the eunuchs also had nothing to say.

Everything was expected by Liu Bei, what else is there to say?

"So I said, at present, the only one who can be trusted is Liu Xuande, whether it is He Jin, or Yuan Kui, they can't be trusted!"

Zhang Rang looked at the rest of the people quite proudly, and said with a smile: "Everyone, is there anything else to worry about?" If not, then arm all your Hakka slaves and hand them over to me for unified command, and we will concentrate all the forces we can use to prepare for the worst. ”

"I have no opinion."

Zhao Zhong shook his head and said slowly: "I admit defeat, Liu Xuande is a genius of ghosts and gods, everything can be expected in advance, such a character wants my life to be easy, he talks to me about cooperation, and wants me to live, I shouldn't have any doubts." ”

"A wise choice."

Zhang Rang nodded, and looked at Guo Sheng, Song Dian, Gao Wang and others.

"What about you?"

The eunuchs looked at each other, but no one spoke, and finally nodded in unison and acknowledged.

They decided to hand over all the armed forces they could use to Zhang Rang for unified command, and they all hid in Zhang Rang's mansion at a critical time, gathered everyone's strength, did their best to protect themselves, and did something for Liu Bei.

For example, taking advantage of the chaos to kill He Jin and the like.

It would be better if they could kill Yuan Kui together.

Liu Bei thought that Yuan Kui was a little more difficult to deal with than He Jin, and the Yuan family was also more difficult to deal with.

But as long as the leader of the Yuan family is killed, the rest of the people will try their best to separate the superior and inferior before resisting, and then talk about other things.

When Liu Bei put forward these ideas at that time, Zhang Rang felt that it didn't matter, because the eunuchs were already infamous, and it didn't matter how many people they killed, as long as Liu Bei was willing to protect them, it was still easy for them to survive.

However, Zhang Rang felt that Liu Bei killed He Jin, and even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Yuan Kui, isn't this a serious matter?

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, if they die, don't the protégés of the Yuan family in the world still want to attack in groups? Can you stand it? ”

"Attacking in groups? On what grounds? ”

Liu Bei sneered: "As long as there is an edict of the Son of Heaven that makes it clear that Yuan Kui is rebellious, I will be able to stand on my feet, besides, I am not afraid of their protégés and former officials attacking in groups, what I am afraid of is that they will not attack in groups, in this case, I have no reason to wipe them all out and completely liquidate them." ”

Zhang Rang was shocked.

"You want to uproot the Yuan clan? The five generations of the Yuan family business have been inherited to this day, and they are deeply rooted, and if you want to uproot them, how easy is it to talk about them? Don't be too confident in yourself, you can't imagine the depth of the foundation of these famous families! ”

"I think I've uprooted a lot, where is the Yuan family?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Rang and said with a smile: "It's just that this time the help of your eunuchs is indispensable, anyway, you are also notorious, doing more bad things and less bad things is insignificant to you, but for me, it is still quite important." ”

Zhang Rang felt a little unhappy at that time.

"Use me as a knife?"

"Lao Zhang, now I can only rely on you."

Liu Bei patted Zhang Rang's shoulder and looked at him with sincere eyes: "If this matter is successful, I will ensure that you will be safe and prosperous for the rest of your life, this should be the best quid pro quo for you, right?" ”

Zhang Rang hesitated for a moment, and retreated under Liu Bei's eyes.

"That's it, anyway, this is the place where I can use it, for the sake of peace and wealth, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Rang finally accepted Liu Bei's entrustment, and was ready to deal with He Jin and Yuan Kui, and when the time came, he would do it to He Jin and Yuan Kui according to what Liu Bei said.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch these two guys, and if you're unlucky, you can kill just one.

If the luck is too bad and the two of them can't be killed, then there is no way, but to resign themselves to fate.

But Zhang Rang wanted to increase the success rate as much as possible, he didn't want to disappoint Liu Bei, he knew that Liu Bei had a great chance of winning in this dispute, so he wanted to take credit and improve his position in the new order led by Liu Bei in the future.

He needs credit for standing up, credit enough for him to get status.

So Zhang Rang privately instructed his reliable subordinate, Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng, to preside over the selection of martial arts masters in the East Garden, and prepare to form a special team to practice assassination and poison techniques.

Prepare that once any accident happens, as long as He Jin and Yuan Kui are in Luoyang City, they will immediately launch an assassination and launch a beheading operation against He Jin and Yuan Kui.

He Jin thought that he had dealt with Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, and went back triumphantly to discuss the matter with Yuan Kui, telling Yuan Kui that the matter had been done.

Yuan Kui looked at He Jin's triumphant appearance, and couldn't help but want to hit him.

"Don't be too happy, eunuchs don't talk much about credibility either, you better be careful, try to keep some back, although eunuchs don't learn and don't know, but they are not stupid."

He Jin immediately laughed.

"On the contrary, this group of eunuchs is the most credibility, they take money to do things, and if they can't do things, they will save the money for you, and they won't take your money when they do things next time, isn't this called reputation? Yuan Gong, if this is not reputation, then what is reputation? Could it be that our behavior of crossing the river and demolishing bridges is called credibility? ”

Yuan Kui felt that he was being ridiculed, but he felt that he had nothing to say.

This group of eunuchs is indeed very credible, and the last cooperation between the two sides is to help Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the military, which is also to do things with money.

The money is in place, the things are done, and the things that Yuan wants to do are all successful, and the cooperation is happy.

Although he was very unhappy, Yuan Kui didn't say anything more, because facts speak louder than words, and he didn't need to think about these things.

Compared to this, what he wanted to solve now was how to transfer Dong Zhuo's army over as an increase in the victory on their side.

Dong Zhuo is the most capable general on his side, and the army under his command is also the most capable army in his faction.

If Dong Zhuo can bring the army of Bingzhou to Luoyang, then he will have some confidence in facing Liu Bei's strong army.
