I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 225 Dong Zhuo's Wisdom

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Yuan Ji was the first to turn into anger. He slapped the table and got up angrily, "Dong Sikong is not satisfied with being in the third rank, and he still wants to reset his position!"

Dong Zhuo was not angry at Yuan Ji's change of face.

He just stroked his beard casually, and said heartily: "Why should my nephew be angry? The emperor is young and cannot afford the affairs of the world. After His Majesty took charge, why not return it to the emperor? This old man is all for the sake of the Han family!"

Yuan Ji clenched his fist tightly.

This old thief!How rude!
I don't want Dong Zhuo to be so cheeky that he dares to call himself a "virtuous nephew"?
"Dong Sikong feels that he can definitely be the chancellor of the imperial court and is sure to win?" Yuan Ji's tone became cold, and his words began to be targeted.

Dong Zhuo was not angry but happy, he clapped his hands and said: "No, no, no! Nephew, don't misunderstand, the old man didn't say that I can be the prime minister of a big man, after all, there is brother Ciyang, when it comes to virtue and prestige, how can I compare Brother Ciyang...it all depends on how the emperor thinks about it and how he appoints him."

Yuan Kai stood up slowly, cupped his hands to Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you Zhongying for your kindness, but the old man is old and lacks energy. This big man is probably powerless if he wants to be a prime minister. Besides Ying, there is no one else to be found."

Dong Zhuo laughed out loud when he heard this.

Then, he stood up and said to Yuan Kai: "Today's matter is of great importance. The old man came to explain clearly to the two of you, so as not to appear too abrupt when it is raised in the court in the future, and make the two of you feel uncomfortable." It’s not good for people to worry about their body and mind.”

"The old man has said everything that should be said, and the things that should not be said. Hey, the old man has said too much. As for how to act in the future, I ask you two to decide for yourself. I am deeply ashamed for bothering you for a long time today. I am leaving. .”

After finishing speaking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand towards Er Yuan, and then strode outside in big strides.

Yuan Kai said to Yuan Ji, "Send Sikong for me."

Dong Zhuo's voice sounded from outside the hall: "No need! This old man knows the way back. You two still have a lot to study, don't worry about this old man!"

In the hall, the faces of Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji were instantly darkened.

"Too arrogant!"

Yuan Ji said angrily: "Uncle, this person is really too rude! He doesn't even pay attention to my Yuan family! I can't bear it!"

Yuan Kai slowly supported his body, and said: "He will know how powerful it is. The old man didn't want to start a war, but now, it seems that it is impossible to use force. Dong Zhongying, you are too underestimating my Yuan family. !"

"What does uncle mean?"

"Shiji, this old man wrote a letter to Benchu, Gonglu, and Boye, and asked them to prepare troops and horses in the south, ready to enter the king of Jingqin at any time, to kill the country's thieves, and respond to us. As for Ding Yuan and Zhang On Yi's side, I'll let you go and make contact, the only generals in the capital who are not under Dong Zhuo's control are Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan."

Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "There is also my dear friend Liu Deran, who is now also stationed in Luoshui with five thousand people, let him send troops to suppress the bandits together!"

Hearing Liu Jian's name, Yuan Kai seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Alright, after all, Liu Deran is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he was highly valued by the late emperor. If this person can openly support us in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, then he can conquer the world." The clan of the Han Dynasty pulled us to our side, this method is very feasible."

…………

Yuan Ji and Yuan Wei began to focus on the situation and entangled their forces to deal with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo was not idle.

After returning to the mansion, Dong Zhuo immediately sent someone to find his confidant Hu Zhen.

"Order the three armies to prepare for battle! It is estimated that within two or three days, the soldiers of Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan will come to fight, and Liu Deran may also come to fight! Let the soldiers be good hosts."

Hu Zhen was shocked when he heard this.

Well done, why did Dong Gong judge that the three foreign soldiers would come over.

"Mr. Dong, why are they suddenly fighting against us?"

Dong Zhuo shook his head with a smile: "It's not that they want to be enemies with us, it's the Yuan family who want to be enemies with this old man!"

"The Yuan family?"

Dong Zhuo slapped the table slowly, and said: "I have been in Beijing for a few days, what I have done will definitely make the Yuan family headed by the family hate it, but although the Yuan family is angry with the old man, according to the old man's treatment of Yuan The old thief Kui understands that if he does not force him to a certain extent, he will never attack the old man easily... Hahaha, after all, he is more than 60 years old, and his thoughts are deep enough."

Hu Zhen nodded thoughtfully: "But why is Mr. Dong suddenly forcing Yuan's family to turn against us?"

Dong Zhuo's smile gradually faded away: "It's a matter of time before we turn against each other. Instead of waiting for Yuan's family to accumulate strength secretly and play tricks with the old man, the old man should give him a conspiracy to force old man Yuan Kui to jump out!"

"Right now, the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is not owned by our army. There are only Liu Deran, Ding Yuan, and Zhang Yi. However, when dealing with eunuchs, I can do whatever I want, but if I want to use troops against them, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't have a legitimate excuse. of."

"And the only one who can mobilize them is old Yuan Kai!"

"Some things have been delayed for a long time, but it's better to solve them all at once!"

"If the Yuan family used knives in secret, to be honest, it would really give me a headache!"

"But if it's put on the bright side, and the real knife is the real halberd, haha, that's what Xiliang people are good at!"

When Hu Zhen heard this, he suddenly realized.

He cupped his hands at Dong Zhuo, and said, "The Mo official will go and arrange the arrangement!"

After Hu Zhen left, Dong Zhuo strolled to the window, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Liu Deran, Liu Deran, you want to have everything with Yuan's family here, but I won't give you this chance! Now that I'm directly tearing the face off with Yuan's family, what do you want to do? Hehe, if Yuan's family doesn't look for you at this time , then it’s not the Yuan family!”

……

……

Soon, Yuan Ji's envoy arrived at Liu Jian's camp.

After hearing the envoy's narration and seeing Yuan Ji's autographed letter, Liu Jian was really in pain.

Originally, they were planning to grind slowly between the two parties and take advantage of both parties, but who would have thought that the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo would suddenly turn against each other.

Compared with Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family was not reserved at all, and directly asked themselves to lead their troops to reconcile with Zhang Yi and Ding Yuan, to attack Dong Zhuo together, and King Qin rescued him.

To be honest... Although Dong Zhuo's follow-up troops have not yet arrived in large numbers, in Liu Jian's view, even if the three of them fight Dong Zhuo together, it is tantamount to courting death.

In the concept of the Kanto people, the bravery of the Xiliang army is still only on paper after all, and they have not understood the real capabilities of the opponent.

Moreover, the Yuan family did not behave properly this time. Yuan Ji only asked himself, Zhang Yi, and Ding Yuan to send troops to challenge Dong, but he did not promise any benefits at all.

It really feels like using yourself as a gun.

Liu Jian asked Yuan Ji's envoy to go back first.

Seeing that Liu Jian was noncommittal, the emissary immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then I don't know how Liu Shijun will answer Situ?"

"Tell Situ that I know."

The envoy was very surprised: "Just such a sentence?"

"Yes, that's just one sentence!"

Although he felt that Liu Jian's answer was inappropriate, the messenger left immediately.

After the envoy left, Liu Jian sent someone to find Liu Bei and told him about it.

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Deran, is it appropriate for you to reply Yuan Ji like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Although I don't know what method Dong Zhuo used to anger the Yuan family, as far as the present is concerned, both Dong Zhuo and Yuan are trying to use various methods to force me to stand in line. This is absolutely impossible, or In that sentence, no matter how inextricably fought the Xiliang warriors and the Kanto gentry are, my Han clan members must not lean towards either of them, at least on the surface."

"Then, what should we do next if Yuan Ji is so perfunctory?"

"There's nothing to do, wait for Dong Zhuo's emissary, he is the one who drew the Tao, he will definitely send someone to untie it with me!"

Liu Bei frowned: "Deran, why don't we find an excuse to withdraw our troops. In this place, it's really unrealistic to think that neither side will be offended."

Liu Jian shook his head: "Not necessarily, brother, don't forget, we have something in our hands that is enough to restrain Dong Zhuo. I don't believe that at this juncture, this thing will not make him tempted."
