I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

"Thank you Xu Zhonglang for your success!" Zhang Liao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rong immediately turned his head and said ruthlessly: "Because archers are extremely important, I want to train them more, and there is a shortage of bows and crossbows in the market... Otherwise, how can I be ashamed to fight with you?" Scramble?"

Zhang Liao wanted to explode instantly, and said angrily, "Xu Zhonglang, are you going to fight the last general?"

"Heh, what is your name?"

"Three catties and two taels!" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and looked at the shopkeeper, quoting the price from his mouth.

"Three catties and three taels." Xu Rongyun calmly and mercilessly killed again.

"Three catties and four taels!"

"Three catties and five taels..."

Hearing the two driving up the prices, the store owner's mood at this time...is simply beautiful: in most of his life, he has only seen these soldiers bullying and robbing his goods, but he has never seen such a scene.

But many years of bad encounters reminded him to accept good offers, and boldly said: "Second, the two generals must not do this. Although in business, the highest price wins, but it also pays attention to first come first served."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Liao and said, "This General Zhang came first and has already paid for the gold cake. If General Xu doesn't blame him, the villain still wants to pay the previous price..."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Liao couldn't help being moved, he quickly cupped his fists and saluted, "Shopkeeper Gao Yi, thank you Liao."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Rong, for fear that the other party would become angry from embarrassment.

Who is Xu Rong? After a moment of silence, he also saluted: "The shop is operating with such integrity, and the business is bound to prosper. If there are good bows and arrows, I will not be too late to come again."

After speaking, he strode out of the shop, and ordered Ru Yuxia to his subordinates: "Go to other shops quickly to have a look, if you have a bow and crossbow weapon, you can buy it on the spot, buy it first and play later."

"Also, war horses need to be bought a lot!"

"Leather armor is also indispensable!"

"Pay attention to spread out, don't disturb the common people and merchants, and lose face of our camp!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao, who was happily preparing to carry the bows and arrows, became nervous all of a sudden, and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, can I carry it later?"

How could the shopkeeper fail to see what was going on, and immediately nodded and said: "General Zhang, go quickly, I won't sell this batch of bows and arrows whoever comes!"

"Thank you." After speaking, Zhang Liao looked at his stunned subordinates and said, "What are you still doing standing there? Quickly follow Xu Zhonglang's method and go to other shops to buy military supplies!"

"It seems that we and Xu Zhonglang are the first batch to receive the reward."

"The Taiwei is so kind and gave me the opportunity to wait. If I don't hurry up and prepare the military supplies before the other battalion soldiers arrive, wouldn't it be a waste of the Taiwei's painstaking efforts?"

Merchants are the most business-minded group of people. Hearing Zhang Liao's words, other shopkeepers came to solicit customers immediately: "This general, you can't just have military supplies."

"This exercise requires strong muscles and bones. Look at the carp at my stall. The meat is fresh and tender. It was just salvaged from the Yellow River in the morning, and it is specially waiting to nourish the soldiers."

Zhang Liao looked at the carp in the big wooden basin, and couldn't help thinking: Are these carp... so cheap?

But the owner seems to be right, let Erlang try fresh fish is also very good.

"I want this pot!"

"Okay!"

"General, it's not enough for a soldier to have strong muscles and bones. Daily drills will inevitably lead to bumps and bumps. How can we do it without preparing some medicinal materials in advance?"

"Well, that makes sense."

"General, it's winter now, so why don't the soldiers wear thicker coats. Look at the furs I just brought in here. Make sure you're warm!"

"It makes sense, I bought it!"

"General, if you bought the fur, you can't miss this charcoal basin. Since you want a charcoal basin, you must also have charcoal..."

"It makes sense, buy it!" Zhang Liao, who had been haggling and haggling just now, was fooled by the shopkeepers, and felt that everything made sense.

Anyway, the reward given by the Taiwei this time is generous, and the things are also useful to the soldiers... Gradually, he got lost in the joy of consumption.

As for Xu Rong on the other side, he was not much better than him.

At this time, he was also surrounded by a group of shops, and half of the iron-blooded aura in the battalion was gone, so he could only raise his hands and say, "Come one by one, come one by one, you can't have wine, it will mess up the soldiers' minds... umm , the washbasin water bag is pretty good, I want as much as I have!"

"Tch, one of the future top five good generals of the Wei State, and another famous general who was misunderstood and buried by the Three Kingdoms, at first glance, they both look like two old hats who have been poor for a long time and then rich..." Old Dong in the carriage couldn't help whispering. He muttered to himself, with a contented smile on his face.

With such a beginning, the cancellation of the plundering of Luoyang by troops has been easily resolved.Of course, there are still some small precautions during the period.

"Wenyou..."

"Subordinates are here."

"Xu Rong will definitely tell Brother Min about what happened to Zhang Liao today. Go and tell Brother Min. Just give Wen Yuan a little warning. After all, he didn't mean anything."

"Here."

"Also, order the whole battalion to keep a low profile no matter if they come to Mashi, Jinjin or Nanshi, so as not to disturb the common people and merchants. If anyone doesn't follow orders, if they get a reward, they dare to snatch it..."

"how?"

"I chopped off his head in the street! Even his superiors and officials should be held accountable!" When he said this, Old Dong's murderous intent was uncontrollable: "I gave the sweet dates, and I have to wave the stick, otherwise I will still be punished." I thought the old man's knife was bad!"

"Here!" Li Ru heard the words, and his expression became much lowered.

"In addition, you need to worry about keeping the aftermath secret."

"Your subordinates have made arrangements, please rest assured, Taiwei."

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Old Dong narrowed his eyes comfortably, and told the groom contentedly, "I've had enough shopping, it's time to go back..."

The boss's arrogance is beyond doubt.

But just when he was about to maintain this demeanor, he heard the conversation between the two outside the carriage.

"The Taiwei really keeps his word. The reward came in just three days, and it's so rich!" Zhang Liao's corporal leader was holding a bundle of bows and arrows, chatting with the soldiers.

"That's not right, and rewarding gold and silver, we can buy what we lack, which is much better than looting from the people. With the benevolence of the Taiwei, I decided to sell this life to him in the future!"

"That's right, the last time I saw the Taiwei in the barracks, I felt that he was different from those Gaoliang generals who came from a scholar's family. He really understood our thoughts and stood on the side of the poor people."

But at this point, the corporal leader thought of another question, frowned and said: "I just don't know, last time the Taiwei seemed to be worried about rewarding us, why did he give so much gold and silver today?"

"Yeah, where did the gold and silver come from?"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes and couldn't help being playful. He suddenly lifted the curtain and said, "I want to know, can the old man tell you?"

"Taiwei!..." Seeing Old Dong again, the two were both surprised and happy, and they were about to salute in the street.

Dong Zhuo made a silence gesture, indicating that he didn't want to make a high profile, and then waved his hand again, indicating that the corporal leader should come over.

Wu Zhang walked over in a daze, and heard Dong Zhuo say mysteriously: "The sudden extra gold and silver matter, I can only say that I understand everything I understand, and I don't explain much if I don't understand. After all, it's good for you to know, you Savor it carefully."

"Don't ask me what's going on in detail. The interests are too involved. It's not good for you or me if you say it. Just pretend you don't know. The rest of the old man can only say that the water here is very deep, and you can't grasp it."

"Everyone who understands has basically made a profit and landed ashore, and made a fortune in silence. Those who don't understand will never understand. The key is to understand by yourself... You don't know who understands, and you can't ask for advice. Everyone You hide it for fear of being known that you are sensible, and if you understand, you can reap what you don’t understand, and you don’t even know that you don’t understand.”

"It's just that sometimes, some people pretend to understand when they don't know something, thinking that others don't understand, but in fact they are the ones who don't understand the most. Therefore, those who don't understand will never understand, and they can only pretend to understand. In the future, others Talking about this topic again, you just need to nod your head and say you don’t understand, understand?”

The carriage gradually drifted away, leaving behind a corporal leader who was messed up in the wind, his mind was a little confused: "I, I... Do I understand this, or do I not understand?"

Chapter 17

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

In the Taifu's mansion, the hall of the inner house.Yuan Kui shook his sleeves in anger, his face was full of frustration and disbelief: "Dong Thief entered Beijing because he could not rely on his military power, and he wanted to prevent the troops from looting Luoyang. He was clearly seeking his own death! How could it only take a few days before the world turned upside down?" , everything has changed?!"

"Yuan Gong, the fact is true." Shangshu Zhou's face was full of despair, and he said: "I have sent people to Mashi, Jinshi, Nanshi to inquire, and now the soldiers under Dong Thief come to buy every day, and they are generous. It’s like meeting relatives.”

"When some people go to the three cities, they don't just buy them, but sell them the surplus goods at home first, and then buy what they need... Even the beggars in the market can occasionally get some mood. Good soldiers give rewards. Now the name of Dong Bandit is well-known in the three cities, and everyone calls it the 'God of Wealth'."

"What's even more frightening is that now all the soldiers under Dong Bandit's command respect him. Therefore, after the general's old troops, the Xiyuan soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu in Bingzhou won gold and silver, everyone praised Dong Bandit's reputation and his loyalty rose! "Wu Qiong, the school captain of Chengmen, is heartbroken here. I don't know whether it's because he hates Old Dong, or because he hates that he didn't pay here...

"There must be something wrong with this!" Shangshu Zheng Tai was annoyed, and said: "Since I took the position of Shangshu, I know the revenue and expenditure of the treasury like the palm of my hand. Now the treasury is so empty that there are thousands of gold, where did he get it?" A large sum of gold and silver for the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to squander like this?"

"That's right, there must be something wrong!..." Zhou Yan immediately agreed.

Immediately, the three of them looked at Grand Tutor Yuan Kai in unison.

But Yuan Kai frowned and thought for a moment, but turned his eyes to a man who had always been silent in the field: "Boqiu, you are the chief history of the Taiwei's mansion, do you know some inside information?"

Shi, the chief of Taiwei's mansion, has an official rank of thousands of stones, and is in charge of the affairs of Taiwei's mansion, with great real power.Correspondingly, the insider who knows the most is naturally the most.

"I don't know the history of the chief of the Taiwei's house. You also know that the thief Dong made a long history, but he did not regard him as his confidant." The man shook his head lightly, and said: "A certain I only know that a few days ago, Dong Thief had a secret conversation with Lang Zhongling Li Ru, Cao Cao and Jia Xu, and then called the cavalry captain Lv Bu to the mansion."

"But when someone wanted to inquire later, Jia Xu's house was already heavily guarded by Dong Thief's personal guards, and the soldiers in Lu Bu's camp suddenly disappeared..."

"Li Ru, Jia Xu, Lu Bu?..." The four were even more confused when they heard these names: Li Ru and the others could understand that they had been plotting for Dong Zhuo.But Jia Xu's reputation is not obvious, and he is extremely low-key, and with Lu Bu as a new general, the three of them can't pee in the same pot no matter how they look at it.

However, they also feel that the truth of this matter is right in front of them, because the most critical link is missing, the window paper in front cannot be pierced...

While the four of them were deep in thought, He Yong took a sip of hot tea and said to himself: "Fortunately, although Shi He Yong, the head of Taiwei's residence, doesn't know, I, He Boqiu, still understand the mystery."

He Yong, courtesy name Boqiu, was the chief history of Taiwei's mansion.

He deliberately separated his identity just now, firstly to show that he doesn't want to have anything to do with Dong Zhuo, and secondly... well, because he thinks highly of himself and likes to pretend to be aggressive.

But this time, it really did.

Although Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan were very upset, they could only bear it.Yuan Kai looked eager here, and asked: "Bo Qiu, what is the mystery?"

He Yong smiled reservedly, took out something from his sleeve and put it on the desk, then slowly left his hand and said: "This is it!"

The four of them took a closer look and saw a piece of jade lying quietly on the table.

The piece of jade was warm and lustrous, and it looked like it was polished from the finest jade.There are also small holes drilled at both ends, but the size does not seem to be worn around the waist...

"This thing?..." Yuan Kai got up and walked forward, picked up the jade piece and looked at it carefully under the lamp, frowned and said: "The quality is good, but the craftsmanship is a bit rough, there is no texture carving, more like Qin A thing of the times... And how does this have anything to do with Dong Bandit's invitation to buy the army's heart?"

"This piece of jade was obtained from a merchant who tanned leather after a certain disguise. And the reason why he has this kind of beautiful jade is obtained from Xiliang soldiers..."

Under the lamp, He Yong spoke slowly, as if whispering.

Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan were impatient with He Yong's mystification, but when they were about to speak, they were surprised to find that Yuan Kai's expression changed drastically, and his body staggered and took two steps back.

The three hurriedly got up to help, and saw Yuan Kai's eyes tearing open: "What a Dong thief!...to do such a frenzied thing, which is outraged by both humans and gods, it should be cut into pieces!"

"Teacher!..."

"Duke Yuan!..."

The three of them still don't know what happened, but He Yong on the side couldn't help the desire to pretend, and said coldly: "Can't the three of you see that this jade piece is one of the golden hazel jade clothes?" one slice?"

"Golden Jade Clothes!..."

Jade garments with golden thread were the highest standard of funeral garments in the Han Dynasty. When emperors or high-ranking nobles were buried, they used "jade boxes with pearls and jackets", which were shaped like armor and connected with gold wires.

The reason is that people in the Han Dynasty believed that jade was the "elite of the mountain". If gold and jade were placed in the nine orifices of a person, the essence of the person would not leak out, so that the bones would not rot, so that they could seek rebirth in the afterlife.

The most critical link was completed, and the three of them instantly understood the context of the whole incident, and their figures couldn't help being shocked: "Then, that Dong thief actually conspired with Li Ru and Jia Xu, and sent the thief Lu Bu to steal the late emperor's blood." tomb!?"

"I'm a poor man from Xiliang, who has no king and no father. He has committed a heinous crime!"

"If you do this, there will be no consequences!"

"Heh, all of you here are just cursing with hatred, and you can't be furious. Could it be that you can scold Bandit Dong to death?" He Yong said again at this time, smiling slightly.

The three of them were furious at once, and Zheng Tai blamed him angrily: "Uncle Heqiu, you are also living in the Han Dynasty. Now Dong Bandit is perverting and committing such outrageous things. How dare you laugh instead of serving the country?"

On the contrary, Yuan Kui was scheming and had already seen some signs of it. He suppressed the anger of the three people and looked at He Yong and said, "Uncle Qiu, it was Ru Kan who broke Dong's rebellion. I think he has a countermeasure this time?"

"Grand Yuan," He Yong cupped his hands, with a secretive look on his face: "We were so filled with righteous indignation when we found out about this matter. The great man has been raising scholars for a hundred years, and the hearts of the people are attached to him, so why worry about a righteous man who sacrificed his life to serve the country?"

Yuan Kai's expression changed, and he immediately understood: "What does Boqiu mean?..."

Zheng Tai, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Yan woke up at the same time when they heard the words, turned their anger into joy and said, "It's true, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Dong Thief's theft of the mausoleum is not perfect."

"I just need to tell others quietly, and I don't need to do it myself, and the bloody righteous men in Luoyang will get up on their own!"

"At that time, sparks will start a prairie fire, and all the great families will share the same hatred. Together with the heroes from all directions that we have contacted in advance, we will definitely be able to bring order out of the chaos, and return the Han Dynasty to a bright blue sky!"

The three of them agreed on the plan with only a few words.Yuan Kui thought for a moment, and then he couldn't help but nod his head and concluded: "Tie Dong thinks he's smart, and he really wants to die!"

After speaking, he hurriedly returned to the main seat, looked at the four people in the hall and said, "It's not too late, you should go back to the mansion quickly, and send servants, children, and tenants to spread the word quietly about this matter."

"For such a rebellious and immoral thing, the whole Luoyang is like fuel to the fire. It only takes a little wind to stir up winds in all directions and start a prairie fire for thousands of miles. The day when Dong Bandit is wiped out can be expected!"

"Wei." Hearing the words, the four of them felt that their bodies were suddenly covered with a supreme mission, and they saluted and left quickly.

Leaving Yuan Kai alone, he silently took out the jade piece, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and slowly said greedily: "If we get rid of this thief Dong, who is a disaster for the country, let the gentry officials rule the court and adjust the balance of yin and yang... After a hundred years, I will , or can you also cover your body with golden jade?"

Chapter 18 This plot is wrong...

A cloud of conspiracy against Dong Zhuo slowly began to gather over Luoyang...
