Subsequently, Dong Zhuo ordered someone to remove the knife and axe hand, and at the same time carried away the cauldron at the mouth of the handsome tent, and ordered someone to show Sun Gan a seat.

In Dong Zhuo's opinion, since Sun Qian can't be suppressed by killing people, there is no need to continue to entangle with him too much on this point.

It's better to get down to business.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo and Sun Qian talked about the previous war, and Dong Zhuo sighed:

"In the past, Lu Bu and Niu Fu fought against Deran without authorization, which was really not the old man's intention, and after the defeat of the two of them, Deran was in full swing, and he had the intention of occupying Sizhou, and the land of the five counties of Sizhou was the first barrier of Chang'an in the east, and Luoyang was one of the two capitals, an important town in Gyeonggi, and the old man would never allow the slightest mistake here, so he sent Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead troops to raid Liu Deran's camp day and night."

"The old man has a personal grudge with Liu Deran, but it's just for the country."

Of course, Dong Zhuo's words are nonsense, how could he be for the country?

However, since Xiangguo said so, you should listen to it for such a reason.

Sun Qianyan said: "The previous incidents are indeed misunderstandings, my general Zuo came here, without any intention of plotting Sizhou, but just dedicated to the country, wanting to serve the country, and expelling the usurper thieves from the capital of Beijing. ”

Dong Zhuo saw Sun Qian's solemn words: "Alas, it was the old man who misunderstood Deran." ”

Sun Qian arched his hand and said: "Before General Zuo sent the last official here, he said that if Xiangguo agreed to meet, he wanted to invite Xiangguo to set up a banquet on the bank of Luoshui at noon three days later, and drink with Xiangguo. ”

Dong Zhuo said very happily: "Okay, you tell De Ran that after three days, the old man will happily go to the appointment!" ”

……

……

Three days later, Liu Jian led 3,000 cavalry to the bank of Luoshui.

He set up two tables on the side of Luoshui, each with six tripod eating utensils, and then ordered the soldiers of the three armies to take a hundred steps back, and he himself only took Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Xiahou Lan to wait for Dong Zhuo here.

Although it is winter, Luoshui has never frozen, and the amount of water has increased unabated, and it is more vast than autumn.

Although Liu Jian was protected by five generals and warriors, under the strong request of the generals, he still put on the strongest armor and put on a cover suit outside.

In this way, ordinary weapons and plots are no obstacle to deal with Liu Jian, plus the five warriors are by his side, even if Dong Zhuo has any crooked thoughts, it is in vain.

"Brother, look, Dong Zhuo is here!"

Liu Jian looked up, but saw Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses stepping on ice and snow and came to a not far place where Liu Jian was.

After observing the surroundings and confirming that Liu Jian was not ambushed, Dong Zhuo left his soldiers and horses behind, and he himself came towards Liu Jian with five generals.

Dong Zhuo is also dressed in fine armor, and he is followed by Hu Zhen, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, and Zhang Ji.

Huang Zhong glanced back and forth at the five people behind Dong Zhuo, and said in a low voice: "Only these five people, although they can't win all, as long as the lord is willing, we are still fifty percent sure that Dong Zhuo's life will be killed." ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "I know the power of the monarchs, but I am not interested in Dong Zhuo's life." ”

After a while, I saw Dong Zhuo leading these five people to Liu Jian.

The five generals who followed Dong Zhuo were all arrogant and full of momentum at this time, only Lu Bu stood at the end of the crowd, bowed his head, and did not look at Liu Jian, Zhang Fei and others, obviously after this defeat, he was reprimanded by Dong Zhuo a lot, and his status also plummeted after this battle.

However, although Dong Zhuo severely punished Lu Bu, he was still able to rank him among the five people accompanying him when he came here to see Liu Jian, which shows that Dong Zhuo still attaches great importance to Lu Bu.

It seems that no matter what, Dong Zhuo will not give up on Lu Bu!

Not only because of Lu Bu's bravery and military ability, but also because of his extremely special position in Dong Zhuojun.

Dong Zhuo sat down behind the desk opposite Liu Jian, and looked at Liu Jian proudly for a while.

"I haven't seen him for a few years, and the little boy who used to revolve around Yuan Ji and was willing to be a horse for him has now become a hero, and the world is really changeable!"

Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, Xia Houlan and others were furious when they heard this.

Liu Jian was in the capital back then, although he was nominally Yuan Ji's friend, but in the eyes of many people, he was the little brother who was called by Yuan Ji.

Today, Dong Zhuo called Liu Jian as a horse, which is very sarcastic.

Just ask Zhang Fei, how can Yan Liang and others not be angry?

However, Liu Jian had already talked to them in advance, except that Dong Zhuo really wanted to do something with him, if it was just a battle of words, the five people who accompanied him were not allowed to pick up each other's words.

Liu Jian listened to Dong Zhuo's words and was not angry.

He just stretched out his hand to feel the temperature of the pot of tea boiling on the stove next to him, without looking at Dong Zhuo, and slowly replied:

"Time has passed, people have changed, Xiangguo was just a toothless old dog in Mrs. Yuan's house in the past, and he can also devour his master, why can't someone Liu come out of the position?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile and added: "The broken chapter of "Meng Shiyi", do you still remember it by heart?" ”

At this moment, the lungs of the generals of the Xiliang Army almost blew up.

Liu Jianshicai not only compared Dong Zhuo to a toothless old dog who guarded the door for Yuan Kui, but also brought up the old story that Yuan Kui used "Meng Shiyi" to break the chapter to ridicule Dong Zhuo as a widow.

It can be said that this is Dong Zhuo's sore spot, the sore spot of his life!

Liu Jian gave Yuan Ji as his younger brother, at least Yuan Ji took Liu Jian as a person.

But Dong Zhuo gave Yuan Kui as his younger brother, but Yuan Kui used Dong Zhuo as a dog.

Compare the two, and make a judgment!

Hua Xiong's temper was the most violent, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Wen Chou shouted: "Bold! ”

Liu Jian looked at Hua Xiong with a smile: "Captain Huadu, I haven't seen you for a long time, the prisoner car that the general used to sit in is still on display in my Yecheng, I don't know when the general will take the time to sit again?" ”

"You...... You ......"

Hua Xiong gritted his teeth angrily, hating to split Liu Jian alive.

The problem is, he simply didn't have that opportunity.

Although Hua Xiong is fierce, when facing the five people around Liu Jian, he still can't get on the stage.

"Alas~!"

Dong Zhuo sighed and said a little helplessly: "Deran, I haven't seen you for many years, can't you let the old man say a few words in words?" After all, the old man is also a Xiangguo, and he is still your elder! ”

Liu Jian lifted the teapot, poured two cups of tea soup in the pot, and then asked Xiahoulan to bring one to Dong Zhuo.

"Xiangguo, Liu has been in Jizhou all these years, and he is used to being alone, and he can't stand a little pickle, and he is only able to collide with words, don't blame Xiangguo."

With that, he smiled and raised the tea.

Dong Zhuo also raised the water in his hand and gestured to Liu Jianwei.

The two drank it all together.

Then, Dong Zhuo wiped his mouth and looked at the five heroes behind Liu Jian.

"De Ran's fierce generals are like clouds, why don't you introduce the old man?"

Liu Jian started with Zhang Fei and introduced Dong Zhuo in turn.

In fact, some of these people, Dong Zhuo has seen them, but at this time, he deliberately asked Liu Jian to introduce them again, which is also meaningful.

"Okay, I've heard for a long time that there are many fierce generals in Hebei, and when I see them today, they are all heroes among people, but it's a pity that he is an official in the local area, but he can't enter the court to share the worries of the Son of Heaven!"

"If the Son of Heaven issues an edict to summon all virtuous and virtuous people to Beijing as generals and assist the government, will you be willing?"

Seeing Dong Zhuo digging a corner in front of him, Liu Jian couldn't help laughing.

Huang Zhong arched his hand at Dong Zhuo and said: "A certain kind of merit is to follow General Zuo and stand, just like the branches on the big tree, although it stands tall and proud, but once it leaves the main trunk, it can only be a leaf and a withered tree, and in the end it can only be the firewood and burning branches. ”

Dong Zhuo sighed with emotion, and then looked at Liu Jian: "Deran, everyone under your account is brave and loyal, which really makes the old man envious!" ”

Liu Jian waved his hand and pointed to the five generals behind Dong Zhuo: "The heroes behind Xiangguo are all really famous in the world, far stronger than the people of Hebei, how can they be compared with a few people under Xiangguo?" ”

Dong Zhuo also laughed when he heard this, but Liu Jian could hear that there was a little bitterness in his smile.

After laughing, Dong Zhuo ordered Hu Zhen to send the tea cup to the other party, and after Liu Jian poured it for Dong Zhuo, he took it back.

"It's delicious, I'm old, I don't like to drink anymore...... Drinking this stuff you cooked tastes a little different. ”

"My Hebei's brewed tea is not superior, but it is indeed better than drinking, Xiangguo is over sixty years, when drinking more tea and less alcohol."

Dong Zhuoqi said: "Why? ”

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Drinking needs to be hearty, drinking tea should be elegant, tea things, born from the aura of heaven and earth, drinking it with heart, can make people sober and quiet, happy and not confused...... Compared with the intensity of wine, tea is its light and elegant to make people cleanse the heart and lungs, wash away the vulgar. ”

"Xiangguo is over sixty years, drink less wine, drink more tea, and wash the soul!"

Dong Zhuo snorted and said, "Are you laughing at the old man's dirty soul?" ”

"Don't dare, with a status like you and me, who is qualified to laugh at anyone?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed with satisfaction.

"De Ran, do you know what the old man likes most about you?"

"Xiangguo, please?"

"I just like your non-cheating energy! It's much better than those who advertise themselves and sell their reputations! ”

Liu Jian put down the teacup with a smile and said, "Since Xiangguo likes my real strength, then Liu Jian won't cheat with Xiangguo, let's talk about something real." ”

"Good! The old man listened, the old man wants to see you, and he wants to ask the old man what he wants! ”

Liu Jian said: "The battle of Sizhou has reached this point, as long as I want to, sooner or later I can control the five counties of Luoyang, even if you are Xiangguo, you may not be able to stop it, yes or no?" ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his face immediately turned gloomy.

"What do you mean?"

"Xiangguo rest assured, Sizhou belongs to the imperial court, this Liu Jian said, I came here only to expel the rebellion for the imperial court, and I have no intention of touching Sizhou!"

Dong Zhuo understood Liu Jian's words, and said, "Where is the place that makes Liu Deran want to get involved?" ”

Liu Jian arched his hand and said: "The land of the border counties of the state, perennial wars, no one is good at guarding, the Huns in the territory do not obey discipline, and there are perennial attacks by foreign races, Liu Jian wants to share the worries of the imperial court." ”

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Merge the state? ”

"Yes."

"Hehe, haha, hahaha...... Ji, Qing, and, You, you all want to occupy the land of the four states, and you want to be the lord of the four states? The overlord of the whole Hebei!? ”
