Jimei Lu of the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, in the past few days, all the followers around him are careful not to be careless. Sometimes they accidentally sneezed in front of Zhang Ji, and they would call for a whip.

When Jia Xu's secret letter was delivered, Zhang Ji had just finished his rage and was alone in the room to relieve his emotions.

"Report to General, Mr. Jia has a letter to send back."

Zhang Ji snorted in the room, quickly opened the door and walked out.

"Bring it to me."

Kneeling on one knee, Zhang Ji handed over the letter, and Zhang Ji tore it open, reading it at a glance.

"This old Jia, I don't know who he wants to trick, why is he related to Lin Madgou?"

No one in the Xiliang army had a good impression of Lin Feng. When the Eighteenth Route princes besieged Sili, if Lin Feng's surprise troops had not risen up and attacked Luoyang, the Xiliang army might not have lost.

In the letter, Jia Xu did not explain that he was forcibly taken away by Lin Feng, but only analyzed to Zhang Ji the benefits of joining forces with Ping Yuan for the Xiliang Army.

And Jia Xu has been emphasizing that if Xiliang can form an ally with Pingyuan in private, then Zhang Ji has a great possibility to get rid of the current predicament and have the opportunity to return to the Central Plains.

Although Zhang Ji is an old general of Xiliang, in fact, he is different from Li Jue, Guo Si and others. He yearns for life in the Central Plains and is tired of the bitter cold land of Xiliang.

Jia Xu accurately pinpointed Zhang Ji's pulse, and with just one sentence, Zhang Ji paid full attention to the matter of joining forces with Pingyuan.

After much deliberation, Zhang Ji ordered Zhang Xiu to be summoned, and ordered his nephew to temporarily lead the army for him, while he himself went straight to Tianshui City to meet Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had lost all his previous ambitions, retreated in Tianshui City, tried his best to forget the existence of the Central Plains, and wholeheartedly wanted to build a palace in Xiliang, so that he could have a chance to become emperor.

If it weren't for Li Ru's persuasion, Dong Zhuo, who had already fallen into a paranoid state, would have proclaimed himself the Holy Emperor and become a real national thief.

Zhang Ji went to the city to ask to see Dong Zhuo, but was led by Li Ru to a side room.

There were already several people in the room, Zhang Ji raised the curtain and entered the room, the first thing he saw was his old acquaintance Dong Min.

Dong Min, whose name is Shuying, is Dong Zhuo's younger brother.

This person's ability is mediocre, but he is quite self-aware. In the Xiliang Group, he has never been special because of his special status. Instead, he actively helps his eldest brother Dong Zhuo to stabilize the army and win over the generals.

Dong Zhuo's four confidants are all friends with Dong Min, especially Zhang Ji, who has an unusual relationship with Dong Min.

In later generations, there are the so-called four iron men in life, who went to the window together, carried guns together, shared the stolen goods together, and went whoring together.

Zhang Ji and Dong Min belong to the fourth category.

In ancient times, there were legal brothels, so going out to play together was not considered a serious relationship.

The relationship between Dong Min and Zhang Ji is much closer, and it is not humane at all.

Zhang Jiqi has a good personality, otherwise he would not have made such an act of robbing Zou Yanran.

Back then, Lin Feng sneaked into Luoyang and rescued Zou Yanran from Zhang Ji's residence, which made the matter an unsolved case. Zhang Ji still doesn't know whether his favorite Mrs. Zou is alive or dead.

After returning to Chang'an from Luoyang, Dong Min saw Zhang Ji's worried look, and in order to comfort Zhang Ji, he cruelly sent his two concubines to Zhang Ji's mansion.

The two wore the same pair of boots, so the natural friendship was different from others, and they were much more intimate in private.

When Mo Ming saw Dong Min in the house, Zhang Ji felt very strange.

Turning to look at Li Ru, he asked: "Mr. Wen Xian, I came here to see the Grand Master, why did you bring me to Shu Ying's place?"

Zhang Ji's meaning is obvious, I'm here to discuss something with Grand Master Dong, why are you dragging me to Dong Min's side?In case the major event is delayed, Taishi Dong blames it, will it be yours or mine?

Dong Min stood up laughing, and greeted Zhang Ji with open arms.

"Old Zhang, what's the matter, aren't you happy to see me?"

Zhang Ji also laughed and went up to meet Dong Min, hugged each other heavily, and patted each other's shoulders vigorously at the same time to show affection.

"How can I be unhappy to see Shuying, but I really have something important to meet with the grand master, and I originally planned to go to your house to bother after seeing the grand master."

Dong Min pulled Zhang Ji to sit down, first nodded to Li Ru, then took Zhang Ji's hands and said: "Old Zhang, it's not that I want to delay your important business, but I have to say hello to you in advance. "

Zhang Ji immediately sensed something inappropriate. Is this a change in Tianshui City?

Seeing Zhang Ji secretly retracting his hands into his sleeves, Dong Min suddenly smiled wryly.

In Zhang Ji's sleeves, he hides two half-foot-long steel daggers for self-defense all the year round. Those who are familiar with him know that this guy will not let him go to the brothel except when he is back in his own mansion. The steel dagger leaves the body.

"Old Zhang, don't be nervous, no

It's something very important, but if it is ignored, it will lead to a catastrophe in the future. "

"What happened?"

Zhang Ji led the army to fight all the year round, fighting back and forth in mountains of swords and seas of fire. Once he became dignified, he burst out with heavy murderous aura, which was suffocating.

Li Ru coughed lightly, and sat aside and interjected, "General Zhang Ji, my lord's sanity has been clear and confused these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to preside over Xiliang's military and political affairs in the near future."

Boo!

Zhang Ji gasped.

Is this not a big deal?

Dong Zhuo was insane, and he was a sign of half-madness. If he couldn't deal with it properly, either the Xiliang Group would be torn apart and reduced to a low-level force, or a symbolic figure that could represent Xiliang would be re-elected after a bloody fight.

Neither Dong Min nor Li Ru could take over Dong Zhuo's mantle, but Dong Zhuo himself did not pass down any heirs. Although there were many wives and concubines, none of them could bear him a son. indivual.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at Dong Min: "Could it be that Shuying has some idea about the Grand Master's throne?"

Dong Min smiled wryly: "Old Zhang, my family knows about my family affairs, and I can still weigh how many catties I have. Let alone let me take charge of Xiliang, even if you give me a county and a city, I don't have the ability to manage it." Organized."

Li Ru found that Zhang Ji didn't even look at him, knew that Zhang Ji was wary of him, moved his buttocks, moved closer to Zhang Ji, raised his right hand in front of his chest, and swore to the sky: "Someone Li Ru and Li Wenyou hereby swear to the heavens that they will never betray the Dong family in this life, and that they will serve Dong as their master forever, if they break this oath, they will not be able to reincarnate for ten thousand kalpas, and their children and grandchildren will perish forever."

Once this poisonous oath was made, Zhang Ji stopped being suspicious of Li Ru, frowning, he looked back and forth between Dong Min and Li Ru.

"The grand master's sanity is occasionally blurred. Instead of saying that you are looking for famous doctors to treat the grand master, you called me here secretly. What are you planning to discuss?"

Dong Min covered his face with his hands in distress: "Brother today, when he woke up early in the morning, he didn't recognize people very much. At least two servants died under his sword. Wen You suspected that you rushed into the city without obeying orders. You have other plans, shouldn't it be too much?"

Only then did Zhang Ji know that he came today at a really inappropriate time, and it happened that Dong Zhuo was ill.

On the contrary, Li Ru figured out that Zhang Ji just met at the right time, and he felt relieved.

"General Zhang, please don't spread the matter about the grand master's illness. Apart from the people in Dong's residence, there are only three people present, you and me."

Zhang Ji nodded and said with a long sigh: "Since the grand master is ill, what should we do with Ping Yuan to seek Hongnong?"

After hearing what Zhang Ji said, Li Ru stood up abruptly, walked to Zhang Ji's side, and asked in a trembling voice: "General Zhang, did you really mean what you said just now? Did someone from Pingping contact you, or did you send someone?" Go to the plains to contact?"
