Chapter 369 Liu He's next set
It was vaguely seen a man in the carriage, but the man had never poked his head out, so Dong Zhuo and others could not see his face clearly, otherwise they would immediately recognize that the other party was Zhao Zhong, one of the ten eunuchs.
Zhao Zhong seemed to yawn, and then a lazy voice came out of the carriage.
"Why did you park? Have you arrived at the city gate?"
The person who drove the car said, "Sir, I haven't arrived yet."
Zhao Zhong scolded him with some dissatisfaction: "You two wastes, you can't get wild game, and you can't find water. The old slave was hungry and had finally slept for a while, but he hadn't arrived in Luoyang yet. What should you do to eat!"
What he didn't expect was that at this time, these two people who bowed to him along the way suddenly became less respectful.
The man who drove the car smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhongchang Shi, you may not have the chance to go back to Luoyang City, but you will not suffer the hard work anymore."
When Zhao Zhong heard this, he stood upright and shouted loudly: "What do you mean by this? Be careful that a certain family will report to Liu He in the future..."
Halfway through, he couldn't continue because the man suddenly pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.
"Oh...you...what do you want to do..."
Zhao Zhong was so scared that his face turned pale and he almost instinctively raised his hands.
The man did not answer, but just gave a wink at his partner riding next to him.
The man immediately realized, rode his horse to Dong Zhuo, got off the horse, and fell to the ground.
"The villain Xu Qian, whose courtesy name is Yunrang, is the one who drives the car, Fang Mu, and Gongze. Both of us are the personal guards under the tent of Liu He, the prefect of Shuofang. We are ordered by the lord. We will pay more visits to Mr. Dong!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Why, after hearing what you said, are you two coming from Yanmen to Luoyang City to see someone Dong?"
Xu Qian said respectfully: "That's right! My lord admires Dong Gong's name for a long time and often says: Today is in chaos and the court is in a turmoil. Zhang Rang, He Jin, Yuan Wei and others have lived in the temple for a long time. They only know how to intrigue and compete with each other and are jealous of talented people. Only the soldiers of the border army, such as us, have experienced hardships and have been working hard for a long time, can we stabilize the government and the country."
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but nod.
He himself hated these people in the court. If it weren't for their exclusion of him, he wouldn't have been dismissed from his official position and deprived of military power, and later he would have to surrender to the Yuan family's disciples.
Liu He has been repeatedly troubled by He Jin and Yuan and others, and he has heard a lot of hearing about it, so he resonates with these words.
Li Ru, who was standing beside him, looked full of confusion and asked, "Nonsense! Even if what you said is true, my lord secretly led his army back. How could Liu He know, and how could he wait here for Pyre? Do you have any conspiracies and tricks? Let's talk quickly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood!"
These words awakened Dong Zhuo, and his face suddenly became vicious.
But Xu Qian was not in a hurry.
"My lord has no way of knowing Mr. Dong's whereabouts, so he just sent my brothers to take one of them to Luoyang first, and then to Weiwu County to pay a visit. He wanted to discuss important matters with Mr. Dong, but he did not expect that God would do good. He met Mr. Dong here unexpectedly, and my brother saved a lot of effort!"
When he spoke, his tone and expression seemed quite excited, and he didn't look fake at all, which made Li Ru believe it a little.
But he only believed it three points and still had seven points of doubt.
"Premier Liu wants to find my lord, what else is there to discuss?"
Xu Qian said calmly: "What you talk about with Gong Dong is two important things. One is naturally a border military matter, and the other is to revitalize the court."
"Well? What does Liu Taishou mean in these two things?"
"The adults have been polite, but the villain is just a personal soldier next to the lord. How could he know so detailed?"
Li Ru snorted coldly: "It would be ridiculous to convince my lord with just a few words. What kind of evidence do you have when you say you are the personal soldier of Liu? Even if it is true, why don't Liu come here in person? So unsincere, why should you discuss matters? I think it must be a thief who wants to deceive my lord. Come on, drag it down and chop it down!"
When Dong Zhuo heard that he was going to kill the person in front of him, he became a little anxious.
"Wenyou, you..."
Li Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, lord, my subordinates will deal with it."
Dong Zhuo thought about it, but finally did not continue to ask questions.
Li Ru received Dong Zhuo's approval and shouted to the guards beside him: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you drag them down!"
The guard was about to take action, but Xu Qian was calm and took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
"The villain has something that can not only prove the villain's identity, but also prove my lord's admiration for Mr. Dong and his admiration are absolutely false!"
Li Ru hurriedly waved his hand to ask the guard to take the cloth bag and submit it.
He was about to take it, but his hand suddenly stopped in the air and then pointed at the guard.
"You, open it!"
The guard did not dare to disobey, so he opened the cloth bag layer by layer, revealing a black wooden box, which looked very exquisite.
When Li Ru and Dong Zhuo saw this wooden box, they suddenly became energetic, especially Dong Zhuo's eyes magnified a lot.
"This...is this...quick, open it!"
Hearing this, the guard quickly opened the wooden box. Everyone's eyes instantly focused, and they didn't notice the smile on the face of Xu Qian, who was lowering his head.
I saw an object lying in the wooden box, which looked like a copper cast, in the shape of a tiger.
Dong Zhuo grabbed the bronze tiger with one hand, and his excitement was beyond words.
"This is...the tiger talisman, it is the tiger talisman of Liu He's attack on the captain!"
Xu Qian spoke at this time: "Return to Duke Dong, it is my lord's talisman to mobilize troops! In addition, there is a letter written by my lord, who teaches me that I must present it to Duke Dong in person!"
He raised his hands high and handed over a roll of cloth.
At this time, Dong Zhuo had already believed 99% of what he said to him, so he would not care about anything else. He stepped forward by himself and took the letter almost like a robbery.
He looked at the letter, and he became happier the more he read it, and finally burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! OK! OK! Great! Haha..."
Li Ru asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Lord, what is the matter in this letter?"
Dong Zhuo was about to speak, but suddenly turned his head and looked at the carriage surrounded by many guards behind him, and then handed the letter to Li Ru.
Li Ru took it and looked carefully, but his face was unpredictable.
The content in the letter is very simple, but it is particularly shocking.
Liu He said that the old general Huangfu Song often mentioned Dong Zhuo to him. Although the two had many differences in military and political affairs, Liu He thought that Dong Zhuo had unique insights and was even more above Huangfu Song. Last year, the Qiang people raided and the old general was defeated, and it was obvious that Dong Zhuo cleaned up the mess.
Today, the Han Dynasty is in chaos and the Han Dynasty is weak. It is impossible to pacify the capable ministers and generals who are loyal to the Han Dynasty. However, the power in the court is complicated and the sects are everywhere, and they are all for their own selfishness and are completely untrustworthy. Those who can rely on are Cui Lie, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu, Liu Yu and Dong Zhuo.
Among the people, only Liu He and Dong Zhuo, who have been guarding the border for the country all year round, have outstanding achievements and are both civil and military. Compared with old people such as Lu Zhi, they are more energetic. Therefore, only when the two join forces can they intimidate the slut. However, Liu He is young and shallow, and it is difficult to take great responsibility. Only by entrusting this burden to Dong Zhuo, assisting him from the side to help him gains and losses, will he live up to his ancestors' foundation and the high expectations of the people.
The counties in the northern border have just been recovered, and the government is busy. Liu He has no time to visit him in person. He can only send his close friends to come with letters and tiger talismans to express his feelings. He hopes that the two will join hands and revive the Han Dynasty and will be famous in history.
