Chapter 138: Dong Liu's New Year's Friendship (Second Update)
Huang Zhong understood that before Liu Jian recommended Huang Zhong to Dong Zhuojun, he wanted to give himself the opportunity to make contributions, so that he could have a broader platform, and at the same time, he could get more meritorious deeds, so that he would have greater development in the future.
Liu Jian was so attentive to himself, Huang Zhong's heart was very moved, and he immediately said: "Thanks to the general's kindness to the last official, he must swear to die!" The last official was willing to obey the general's arrangement. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jian nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Jian had already gotten the news through Yuan Ji's channels at this time, and there were already signs of a rebellion in Jincheng County in Liangzhou in the northwest, although it had not yet completely broken out, but once the rebellion arose, its scale and situation would be no less than that of the Yellow Turban, and it would be another expedition at that time.
The war in Liangzhou, thinking about it, Liu Hong would not want to let himself continue, and from the perspective of the Yuan family, Dong Zhuo, who had little merit in the Yellow Turban War, would inevitably be the person they recommended again.
Therefore, let Huang Zhong follow Dong Zhuo to Liangzhou, and he will definitely be able to make achievements.
In fact, when the "Four King Kongs" were first summoned to Beijing, Liu Jian promised Xu Rong that he would let him go to Liangzhou to make contributions!
But when it came to the end, Liu Jian pondered for a while, and still did not recommend Xu Rong, but recommended Huang Zhong to go.
He was a little worried that his people would be taken care of by Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo also had some personality charm, and Xu Rong in history was indeed Dong Zhuo's subordinate.
Let Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo go to Liangzhou, Liu Jian must not be at ease.
Compared with Xu Rong, Huang Zhong is completely his own former official, and he is absolutely credible in terms of loyalty.
And Huang Zhong was born in Nanyang County, although he is not a wang family, but he was also born in the land of Longxing, his vision is extraordinary, he is also a disciple of Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan's son-in-law, the emperor's brother, Huang Zhong thinks that there is nothing wrong with himself, but he can ...... with Dong Zhuo
Don't look at the same Zhonglang general, but Dong Zhuo is completely incomparable with Liu Jian in terms of identity.
With Huang Zhong's vision, it is impossible to be taken by Dong Zhuo.
So, follow Lao Dong to Liangzhou with peace of mind! I'll back you up in the back.
……
After agreeing with Huang Zhong, Liu Jian took him to visit Dong Zhuo and expressed to Dong Zhuo his willingness to recommend Huang Zhong to his command.
Dong Zhuo touched his beard, looked at Liu Jian with a smile, and said: "Deran, your news is very well-informed, the matter over there in Liangzhou, the old man has a letter, don't you want to know a lot?" ”
Liu Jian sighed: "I know some, after all, the eleven counties of Liangzhou have been rebelling all year round, and they have been in constant rebellion, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have paid much attention to this place, and Liu is naturally no exception." ”
Dong Zhuochang sighed and said: "The old man's family is in Liangzhou, and the old man got a letter from his younger brother two months ago, saying that it was a few big men in Jincheng County, and when they heard that the moth thieves had risen, they all had some changes. ”
"Dong Gong was born in Longxi County, and in the past, it was a powerful northwest, if something happens in Liangzhou this time, I think Dong Gong will come first!"
Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Jian and said suspiciously: "Deran, if there is a war in Liangzhou, why don't you write to the court and lead the troops to fight the thieves with the old man?" ”
Liu Jian said: "If I really want to go, I will not recommend Han Sheng to the command of Dong Gong, the conquest is not my forte, it is better to stay in Jizhou to do some practical things, and it is not too late to return to the court in the future to be loyal to His Majesty, and besides, my wife is about to give birth, if I go to the northwest again, I am afraid that I will not be able to return within two or three years, so it is not my wish." ”
Dong Zhuoyan said: "Deran is modest, the battle of Mobei, the battle of Nanyang, the battle of Guangzong, you have made great contributions, if you are not good at fighting, in this world, I am afraid that there will be no one who is good at fighting, besides, since the husband already holds the military power, how can he easily abandon it?" You are still young, you have always been smooth, and you have never experienced the ups and downs of officialdom! ”
Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhuo thoughtfully.
It seems that Dong's predecessors seem to have the intention of holding on to the military power and refusing to let go at this moment.
It's no wonder that he struggled before, and finally became a captain of Wuji who was more than 2,000 stones, but he was accidentally deposed to the end, and many years later, he relied on Yuan Kui's guidance to come out again, and finally came to the present.
But the battle was futile, if it weren't for the joint letter between himself and Huangfu Song, and Chen Zhili to the imperial court, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo would be questioned and dismissed again.
However, he has his back to the Yuan family, and even if he is deposed, he will definitely be used again in the near future.
Judging from Dong Zhuo's current words, he already has the will to not want to put his fate in the hands of others.
Dong Zhuo has already begun to have the intention of grasping the power of the army.
But think about it, with his character, he has experienced several ups and downs, and when he is in this position, he suddenly has an elite soldier in his hand, so he naturally will no longer think about giving up military power.
Dong Zhuo, who has experienced a lot, has already understood in his heart that for himself, the importance of military power may be able to override his career.
And when a person has this kind of thought, it means that his ambition has begun to gradually expand.
"Hansheng, you go and wait outside the tent, I have something to say to General Dong."
Huang Zhong immediately received the order and left the camp.
Looking at Huang Zhong's back as he disappeared outside the tent, Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Don't worry, this time in Liangzhou, Dong will be a good student to make this person make meritorious contributions, and live up to Deran's wishes." ”
"In this way, I will entrust Huang Hansheng to the general."
"Little things, little things!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Deran, do you still remember what you said to the old man when he was appointed as the assassin of the state?" ”
Of course I do!
However, Liu Jian shook his head with a smile: "It's been too long, don't blame Dong Gong for forgetting." ”
Dong Zhuo said word by word: "The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and live under the people for a long time? ”
Liu Jian scolded his mother in his heart, what do you mean by mentioning this stubble at this time, this old horseman?
"I don't know who Dong Gong is talking about? You need to know that Liu is a royal prince! Liu Jian's face was straight and reminded Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, how can the old man do such a disrespectful thing?" The people mentioned by the old man are like the Yuan clan of Runan and the people of the Yang clan of Hongnong! ”
"The local county government, thousands of scholars, most of them are controlled by their other high gates, like the old man, such as the frontier warriors, throughout his life, in his eyes are just a guardian dog, when the old man is used, he throws two bones to the old man, and when the old man is not used, the old man is pushed to the front, or scapegoted or deposed! The old man has endured it all his life, but now, he doesn't want to endure it anymore. ”
Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhuo quietly, looking at the expression on his face distorted by anger, and secretly said in his heart: Dong Zhuo's behavior may be hateful, but taking 10,000 steps back, isn't some of his behavior also caused by decades of experience in a sense?
Moreover, in history, when Dong Zhuo first entered the power of Luoyang, he did have the intention of wooing the scholars, promising heavy power, and many conquests and gifts, although Dong Zhuo's hot face was pasted, but unfortunately his identity was destined not to treat the Kwantung scholars seriously.
The Liangzhou warriors, in the eyes of the Kanto clan, were originally eagle dogs who could not be on the stage, and it was no problem for them to be dogs, but if the dog turned over and rode on a person, even if the dog was good and caring to people, people would never be willing.
Dong Zhuo's ambition at this moment coupled with his background, the relationship between him and the scholar clan will inevitably be severed sooner or later, this is a matter of time.
"Dong Gong wants to turn over and not live under others, this pride makes Liu Jian admire, but as a royal family, Jian is inconvenient to help Dong Gong in some things, so he can only make friends with Dong Gongshen, don't blame him."
Dong Zhuo is quite reasonable, he smiled: "De Ran and Dong Mou's identities are similar, but they are not the same, what the old man wants to do, you naturally refuse to wade into troubled waters, but the old man regards you as a New Year's friend, no matter when, as long as you don't hurt my heart, this friendship will always be,"
"And as long as you are willing, when the old man achieves his deeds one day, he will have a benefit from Deran, do you understand the meaning of Dong's words?"
Liu Jian thought about it for a while, and knew it in his heart.
"Dong Gong is also a noble person to me, Liu will not ask Dong Gong for the benefits, but I just want to ask Dong Gong to remember today's words, you and I are good friends."
"Hahaha, yes, it's a New Year's friend!"
