460 Dong Zhuo made a decision

Dong Zhuo was very surprised by Dong Huang's arrival.

There was a turbulence in Luoyang City, as Liu Bei's subordinate, Dong Huang's appearance in Bingzhou at this time was by no means a normal situation.

"Juan, why are you here?"

Dong Huang handed Liu Bei's letter to Dong Zhuo.

"I'm here to help the prince deliver a letter to you, uncle, the prince hopes that you can abandon the darkness and join the light, and serve the Son of Heaven and the court, instead of sticking to the identity of Yuan's former official and continue to help Yuan Kui."

Dong Zhuo was shocked, but he didn't say anything, took the letter in Dong Huang's hand, opened it and read it.

The content of Liu Bei's letter is not complicated.

The main thing is to help Dong Zhuo analyze the situation.

In terms of the current situation, the alliance between the Yuan family and the He family has fallen into decline, and their forces have been directly wiped out by Liu Bei, and the remaining two-thirds are also more swingers, so there are not many irons left, and each village has its own small ninety-nine.

In this case, Yuan Kui and He Jin actually don't have many bargaining chips that they can use, but when the time is ripe, Liu Bei will try his best to obtain the righteous name and use troops against Yuan Kui and He Jin, and strive to wipe out their forces and wipe them all out.

Liu Bei believed that Dong Zhuo was a professional and could tell which of the Liangzhou soldiers under his command and the army under Yuan Kui He Jin was strong and which was weak, as well as the comparison of the strength of the two sides, and Liu Bei also revealed his guesses.

That is, Yuan Kui must have asked Dong Zhuo to send the elite merger soldiers to Luoyang to help him strengthen his troops, trying to use Dong Zhuo's merge state soldiers as the main force to fight against Liu Bei's Liangzhou soldiers, so as to increase the possibility of victory.

As a supporting measure, Yuan Kui was pushing He Jin to retreat into Luoyang, and used leaving Luoyang to crusade against the Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army as an action to cover up his true purpose, the main purpose was to recruit troops, and to include the army secretly sent by Dong Zhuo into He Jinjun.

In this way, they would be able to gain the effectiveness of the state soldiers without mobilizing Dong Zhuo himself.

Liu Bei guessed all this, but Liu Bei did not intend to obstruct their actions, on the contrary, he was willing to add fuel to the fire.

He would persuade the Son of Heaven to allow He Jin and Yuan Kui's strategy, and give Yuan Kui the opportunity to mobilize and state soldiers and horses to join He Jinjun, but he needed Dong Zhuo to be on his side and arrange for the state soldiers and horses to be his internal response and do him a favor.

Liu Bei not only wanted to destroy Yuan Kui and He Jin's soldiers and horses, but also guessed that Yuan Kui and He Jin would most likely be in the army at that time, so he hoped that the soldiers could set off civil strife in He Jin's army when he needed it, and take advantage of the chaos to kill He Jin and Yuan Kui.

In return, Liu Bei would use the power he seized to legitimize and rationalize this matter for Dong Zhuo after the victory, so that no one in the world could say anything, and establish the image of Dong Zhuo's loyal minister.

The benefactor rebelled, so the officials endured the heartache to report his rebellious behavior, which was the only reasonable explanation for Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Then, he will crown Dong Zhuo as a former general and state pastor, guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty, be majestic, and truly be in charge.

Liu Bei hopes that Dong Zhuo can arrange absolutely reliable and down-to-earth people to do this, and try to let people know as little as possible, so as not to make it difficult to operate at that time.

And the benefits of this are not only Dong Zhuo's own official position.

If Dong Zhuo can really do this, and is really willing to serve the imperial court and oppose the Yuan family, then Liu Bei will be able to ensure that the next generation of the Dong family will enter the circle of scholars as the master of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Zuo family, and then the next generation will complete a gorgeous turn and directly enter the circle of first-class scholars, and can also leave Liangzhou and settle in the rich land of Kanto, and after three generations, he can permanently change his background.

He will make the Dong family become a scholar family of the Han Dynasty in two generations, and three generations will turn around gorgeously and become the envy of everyone.

This condition is exchanged for your cooperation, in exchange for you to do your best for me to kill He Jin and Yuan Kui, and in exchange for Ling as my unbreakable alliance object, it is not a loss, right?

As for the helpers selected by Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei will also operate some good positions in Luoyang for them afterwards as rewards, and the benefits are definitely enough, depending on whether the subject has the ability and whether he can seek wealth and wealth in danger.

Dong Zhuo read Liu Bei's letter, endured his fright, found a piece to hold on to the ground and sat down, and then looked at the stunned young Dong Huang who was standing aside.

"Do you know the contents of this letter?"

"The prince didn't let me see it, how could I see it?"

Dong Zhuo nodded, didn't speak again, and fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei guessed everything.

Previously, Yuan Kui did write to him and asked him to prepare to select elite generals to infiltrate Luoyang, and he would arrange for these elite generals to enter He Jin's army, live a good life, strengthen He Jin's military strength, and become their hole cards against Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's troops were strong, and they needed more troops to ensure victory.

Yuan Kui didn't say what reward Dong Zhuo would give after this victory, as if this was what Dong Zhuo, as a former official of the Yuan family, had to do, and other than that, there was nothing to talk about.

What Yuan gave him was his, Yuan didn't give it, he couldn't ask for it, he couldn't grab it.

Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with this, and many dissatisfactions since following the Yuan family also broke out at this time.

In fact, before this, in the face of Liu Yuan Zhengfeng, Dong Zhuo fell into a tangle.

Because he is indeed more optimistic about Liu Bei than Yuan Kui, he thinks that it will be Liu Bei who will win in the end, so he is struggling whether to disobey Yang Feng Yin and not send anyone to deal with Liu Bei, be neutral, and wait for the dust to settle and rely on Dong Huang's relationship to intercede for himself and save his life.

Even if you can't keep your position for a while, if you ask Dong Huang later, you must have a chance to make a comeback, and you can save your life first.

That's what he planned, and he was going to put it into practice.

As a result, suddenly, Liu Bei's letter changed his position and status.

Liu Bei clearly asked him to stand on his side, asked him to provide help to him, and even played a decisive role in setting off civil strife, striving to kill Yuan Kui and He Jin, and maximizing Liu Bei's chance of victory.

It seems that although by this time, Liu Bei already had the intention to kill, he still wanted to solve the biggest problem at the lowest cost.

In all fairness, this requirement is quite harsh, but the reward that Liu Bei can give is also quite tempting.

He can promote the Dong family from the border Hanmen warrior family to the Kwantung clan within two generations, and three generations can turn around gorgeously and permanently change the humble origin of the Dong family.

This is a promise that only a lord like Liu Bei can make, and it is also a promise that can be trusted by a lord like Liu Bei.

For other people, this kind of talk cannot be believed, and it has no credibility.

To be honest, Dong Zhuo has been suffering from the trouble brought to him by his humble background for most of his life, he is always thinking about getting rid of his original background, and he is also fantasizing that if he is noble, he will definitely be better than now.

It's just that he knows that this situation is difficult to happen, he is just a dog of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family needs his force to promote him, not that he needs to change his background.

Only a humble background can be controlled, otherwise he will get out of control, and in order to maintain control over him, the Yuan family will never give him a chance to change his background.

But now, the opportunity for change has emerged.

As long as he agreed to Liu Bei's request and exchanged Yuan Kui or He Jin's lives for him, he would be able to summon a bright future, and the Dong family would go on a completely different path.

Dong Zhuo thought about it, constantly weighing the pros and cons, and considering all kinds of sudden situations that might arise.

In the end, he had to admit that the promise Liu Bei made to him was the best and fastest path he could choose to change his background.

Even with such a promise, no one will give it to him, only Liu Bei will give him this promise at this moment.

The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, such conditions can allow Liu Bei to successfully buy anyone no matter when and where it is.

Dong Zhuo's heart beat violently.

agreed, he was going to turn his back on the Yuan family and become a knife in Liu Bei's hand, and he was bound to Liu Bei from then on.

If he doesn't agree, he won't have a chance, and if he doesn't get it, he will offend Liu Bei because of this, and in the end, even if Dong Huang intercedes, his political life will come to an end, and there will be no other hope for the rest of his life.

Liu Bei said that he was given a choice, but in fact, he was not qualified to choose.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Zhuo made his own decision.

He stood up and looked at Dong Huang in front of him.

"Uncle, I ......"

"You don't need to say it, you go back and tell Liu Huqi, I will agree to his request, I will do my best to complete what he asks, I just need to know how to contact him privately, you know?"

Dong Huang blinked.

"The prince also said that if my uncle doesn't agree, let me try to persuade ......"

"If you want to agree to this kind of thing, you really have to be ruthless, but since you have decided, I will not regret it, and you don't need to persuade you, Juan, now it seems that it was really a very correct decision for me to let you follow Liu Huqi at the beginning."

Dong Zhuo's tone was very strong.

Dong Huang then smiled.

"That's the best, before I left, the prince told me that if my uncle agreed, let my uncle's people go directly to Luoyang City to meet him after arriving in Luoyang, of course, the speed must be fast, not slow, late will change."

"Okay, then as soon as possible, Juan, you go and rest first, eat something, wait for me to explain some things, make some preparations, and soon be able to prepare manpower, it's still early, you can set off with my people soon."

Dong Zhuo arranged for Dong Huang to eat and rest to recover his strength, Dong Huang nodded, and didn't care about other things, so he went to eat.

After Dong Huang left, Dong Zhuo walked around the room, thinking about it, and finally selected the executor of this operation.

"Go and summon the master Lu Bu, and the captain Li Su to come!"
