Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Zhang Rang's strategy did work, and Mr. Wen He really failed, and he could no longer maintain that cunning mask.

It's a pity that Mr. Wen He is a tough guy, and he doesn't want to say anything more.

Lu Bu was ordered to investigate Mr. Wen He's past, and everyone discovered that the reason why Mr. Wen He worked so hard for Tong Gao was naturally not because of the bribe of gold and silver treasures.

But it stumped the saying of famous scholars in the world-a scholar dies for his confidant.

In ancient times, Yu Rang, a dead man in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to repay Zhi Boyao's great kindness, "swallowed charcoal and painted his body" and "put himself on the bridge to go to the toilet".

And Mr. Wen He looks like one of the many "Yu Rang" in this world.

But Jia Xu was not well-known when he was young, and he has been unknown all the time. He never praised Xiaolian, but was only favored by a Xiaolian.

Of course, some people also said that Jia Xu was Zhang Liang in the present age, and Chen Ping was alive, saying that he had great talents to help the world.

It's a pity that Jia Xu was born at an untimely time. He was over 30 years old in a flash, and everyone else was talented in both civil and military affairs. However, Jia Xu was sick and not reincarnated in a big family, worrying about food rations all day long.

Jia Xu doesn't have much hands-on skills, and she doesn't have much strength, but she has a good tongue and can speak well. Later, Jia Xu was recommended by Xiao Lian as a man, and he was about to be cast in the sky. Unfortunately, it didn't take long, because Jia Xu became an official. Being honest and upright, he didn't want to be feared by others, so Jia Xu was forced to resign because he was sick, so he saved his life and returned to his hometown to make a living.

When Jia Xu came back from this trip, his mood was not as good as before. He has great talents to help the world, but he has no future, and those merchants and warlords, taking ill-gotten gains, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling every day, enjoying the happiness of the world.

It seems that Jia Xu's temperament has changed a lot since then, becoming cynical, greedy and lustful, just like what the soldiers in Zhang Xiuying said, there is nothing Jia Xu can't do if you give money, no matter what kind of cheating or abduction, or what kind of tricks. Three things.

Jia Xu's reputation became more and more infamous day by day, so when he was helpless, Tong Gao sent people to search for famous folks, and Jia Xu happened to fall in love with him.

Under Tong Gao's order, Jia Xu took refuge in Zhang Ji's name. In fact, because of Zhang Ji's growing military power, there was a gap between Tong Gao's heart, so Jia Xu lurks by Zhang Ji's side, spying on Zhang Ji's movements.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ji took refuge in Wei Man in Suanzao, so Tong Gao took advantage of the situation and drove Jia Xu into Wei Man's camp, wanting to monitor every move of Suanzao.

Everyone understood Jia Xu's loyalty to Tong Gao, and they were a little silent when they heard it. It would be fine if it was for the gold and silver treasures, but for the kindness of this confidant...

Jia Xu is a smart person, he must know that Tong Gao does not really appreciate his talent, but when Jia Xu is most helpless, where are others?Only Tong Gao appeared and offered favor.

In this way, how can Jia Xu not repay Tong Gao's kindness?

Wei Man sighed, and said, "Forget it, we will meet today to build an altar, and we will discuss it when we return."

Everyone nodded and agreed.

Today is the day when the Suanzao Huimeng set up an altar, that is, the first day of the Suanzaohuimeng.

Since ancient times, starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period even worse, alliances have always been the key to solving problems among multiple forces.

Now warlords from all over the world gathered in Suanzao from all directions, waiting for this moment.

Setting up an altar is the first step of the alliance. To set up the altar, people who will take the oath and hold wine must be elected. After everyone makes an oath together, they will nominate the leaders of the warlords from all walks of life in the future. Chief ally.

This general lord is equivalent to the emperor of the earth. Because Tong Gao is now in power, the throne is vacant, and the only bloodline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, King Chenliu, "has disappeared". General.

If or everyone elects a general leader, the leader can entrust the generals of various groups, command troops, ambushes, etc., and all forces will advance and retreat together, so that there is a well-organized calculation, so that there will be no chaos and no effort.

But today, when the altar is set up, it is necessary to select a person of high morals and prestige to be in charge of the oath and wine.

When the altar is successfully set up after today, the various forces and the county guards will live in one camp and jointly elect the leader.

Wei Man placed Lu Bu in the camp to stay behind. First, Lu Bu was Tong Gao's adopted son in the past, and it was not time to show his face. Second, Lu Bu was outstanding in martial arts. If anyone attacked the camp, he would definitely let them get no benefit.

The rest waited for their cronies, followed Wei Man out of the gate of Weiying, and headed for the place where the altar was built.

The place to build the altar was chosen to be an extremely wide place in Suanzao. In the future, altars will be set up here, and camps of the shogunate of the alliance and the shogunate will be set up, so it must be open.

Wei Man and Zhang Rang and others drove in, seeing that the warlords from all walks of life had already gathered together, Wei Man got off his horse, pulled Zhang Rang by his side, and said in a low voice, "Follow me closely, don't leave for a moment. "

Zhang Rang nodded. He also knew that good and bad people were mixed here. During the time when they came to Suanzao, many intrigues had already happened before the alliance started. must.

Zhang Rang didn't like to cause trouble, and he didn't like things to provoke himself, so of course he followed Wei Man closely to avoid trouble.

A lot of warlords have already gathered near the altar, together with their cronies, they are only building the altar today, so there is no need to lead soldiers, everyone only follows the most trustworthy people to protect safety.

Suddenly someone saw Zhang Rang and shouted: "Look quickly! That's the eunuch in Zhang Rang!?"

When he yelled, everyone's eyes almost went "shua!", and they all focused on Zhang Rang.

Wei Man's expression tensed for a moment, and he immediately raised his arm and put his hand on the sword at his waist, lest the crowd suddenly attack him, so he was prepared.

Compared to Wei Man's nervousness and rage, Zhang Rang himself was very calm, as if everyone saw him as someone else, he was indifferent and calm at the same time, without any fear or guilty conscience.

Many people here have seen Zhang Rang. Someone shouted, and the crowd immediately became commotion.

But before the commotion of the crowd was over, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, came over and said with a smile, "Hey, brother must have misread it. This is the famous Mr. Changqiu. He helped the world and saved people. The people praised him. He even helped people a few days ago." There are many unaccustomed soldiers in the Suanzao Battalion."

When he said this, many people responded, saying: "Yes, yes! This is indeed the case."

"That's right. It's Mr. Changqiu. I had the honor to meet him a few days ago."

"That's right, Mr. Changqiu has excellent medical skills and benevolent medical ethics. He is by no means a heinous person like the eunuch!"

"Rumors and gossip" collapsed in an instant, and Zhang Rang remained frank, as if he was not the one being discussed.

Hearing this, Wei Man breathed a sigh of relief, he really had to admire Zhang Rang, he was almost sweating, it was like the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry!

With Yuan Shao's belated arrival, the establishment of the alliance forum officially began.

On the first day of setting up the altar, it was necessary to elect a person who would swear to hold wine. As I said before, the person who held wine should be highly respected and able to convince the crowd.

Yuan Shaodang even said: "If you talk about morality and prestige, it must be Duke Wei! Wei Gong came to Suanzao this time, and I don't know how many sick soldiers have been rescued. If you say that Wei Gong has high morality, no one seems to refute it!"

Yuan Shao recommended Wei Man very warmly and cordially. When Wei Man heard this, he was not happy, but sneered in his heart, thinking that he came to be the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao actually recommended himself as the sacrificial wine.

If he became the sacrificial wine, wouldn't he have lost his destiny with the leader?

Who has seen the emperor personally preside over the oath when offering sacrifices?Don't you have to have a wine ceremony host?

Yuan Shao's move was not without viciousness, it was simply a drudgery from the bottom of the pot, a drudgery to stop the boiling, and he wanted to cut off Wei Man's desire to compete with him.

Not to be outdone, Wei Man smiled and said, "Hey! Mr. Yuan's words are serious. If you talk about virtue and prestige, Mr. Yuan is more pertinent than my younger brother in making this sacrificial wine. No one will refute it!"

Wei Man and Yuan Shao began to flirt with each other, and neither of them wanted to make this sacrificial wine. Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, saw it, and his eyes moved involuntarily.

The leader of the alliance must not be able to do it by himself. After all, there is a big brother Zhang Miao above him. Even if he retreats [-] steps and falls on his head, it must be picked up by his elder Zhang Miao.

So Zhang Chao said: "Everyone, my younger brother thinks... Zang Hong, the meritorious Cao Shi in my camp, is upright and quite famous. He is loved by the people and a celebrity in the world. It is well-deserved to make this sacrificial wine!"

Seeing Zhang Chao recommending him, Zang Hong immediately understood his thoughts. Zhang Chao would definitely not be the leader of the alliance. If there is a sacrificial wine in the camp, it would be a decent thing.

So Zang Hong cooperated very much and did not refuse.

Standing in the crowd, Zhang Rang watched as the situation began to develop towards history. Zang Hong himself was indeed the person who set up the altar of the Suanzao League.

Zhang Rang had always admired Zang Hong, so he was the first to affirm Zang Hong.

Although Zhang Rang did not have military power in his hands, when he affirmed it, many people who had received favors agreed with him, and Zang Hong's reputation was quite high in an instant.

Wei Man didn't want to be the sacrificial wine at first, so it was a good time someone came to take the plate, but the person who took the plate was Zang Hong, he couldn't help but feel upset, as if he had eaten sour plums on an empty stomach, his stomach was so sour.

I just feel that Zhang Rang cares too much about Zang Hong, doesn't he?

What's the point of caring about the man next to me after kissing myself?

Today's Huimeng is nothing more than selecting the person who will set up the altar. Afterwards, the real altar will be set up. Zang Hong will be responsible for the construction of the Huimeng shogunate and the camp. Official alliance.

Soon the matter of setting up the altar was settled, Wei Man really didn't want Zhang Rang to stay here for a while, so he took Zhang Rang away without giving Zhang Chao and Zang Hong a chance to talk.

The crowd hurried back to Weiying, preparing to pack their luggage and supplies and move into the Huimeng camp.

As soon as they entered the gate of the camp, they saw Lu Bu walking over with a bad expression on his face.

Wei Man said concisely: "What's the matter?"

Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense, and said: "The retainers came to report that Tong Gao's army had captured Suanzao, and arranged an ambush in Suanzao. The leader of the army is unknown, but it may be Hu Zhen himself, intending to wait for the alliance to select the leader. Time, kill us by surprise!"

When Wei Man heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "How many ambushes, where is the strength of the troops, do you have any clues?"

Lu Bu didn't speak, just shook his head.

When Zhang Rang heard this, he said calmly: "If you ask how many ambushes are there, it seems that only Mr. Wen He knows."

Jia Xu……

When Xia Yuanyun heard it, his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he didn't say a word.

Wei Man immediately turned cold, and strode towards the cell.

You must know that the selection of the leader of the alliance is a big deal. No matter who the leader is, once Tong Gao succeeds in a surprise attack that day, the Suanzao army will definitely be defeated, and it will be too difficult to reunite.

Therefore, even if the alliance leader is not Wei Man, Wei Man will never allow Tong Gao to attack at this time.

Wei Man walked into the cell with indifference and fury, and kicked the door open with a sound of "哐!!!".

Zhang Rang followed closely, and when he entered the cell, he heard Jia Xu's gasp, he seemed very forbearing, it seemed that Wei Man had ordered Jia Xu to be punished.

Zhang Rang quickly walked a few steps and said, "Wait a minute!"

Although Zhang Rang was a literati, he was eloquent in his words in the army. When the soldiers heard this, they slowed down the execution and looked at Wei Man.

Wei Man waved his hand, and the soldier put down his whip and stepped aside.

When Zhang Rang walked into the cell, he saw Jia Xu struggling half-kneeling on the ground, his temples were disheveled, his long hair had fallen down, and there was a bloodstain on his cheek, which lay across his white and thin skin, which was shocking.

But there was a madman's smile on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that because of Wei Man's anger, he was very happy and pleased him.

With a hoarse laugh, Jia Xu said: "Don't waste your time, Wen He does know how much Dong Gong ambushed, but unless you cut Wen He's chest, you will never see Wen He's heart. !"

Zhang Rang looked at Jia Xu like this lightly, without any trace of annoyance, and said: "Since Mr. Wenhe is so tough and fearless, on the day when the leader of the alliance is selected... he ordered General Xiahou to lead troops to guard the altar of the alliance. Surely you have no objection, sir?"

As soon as Zhang Rang's voice fell, Mr. Wen He, who was full of smirks, was suddenly taken aback. The smile on his face was mixed with blood, and he slowly fell down. With a "tick", he fell on the ground of the cell, slowly dizzy...
