Chapter 433 Tiehanhan meets the ‘honest man’ (three-in-one)

"Ignore it for now. Monitor his every move and figure out what this guy wants to do before making other plans."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said this to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded when he heard this and wrote down Liu Cheng's instructions.

After thinking for a while, he added: "For the rest of us, isn't my lord going to do something?"

These people come from various major forces, and have a high reputation and status in their respective strengths.

My lord is determined to conquer the world. If I can leave a good impression on these people and make friends with them at this time, I should be able to gain some unexpected rewards when the time comes."

As a confidant of Liu Cheng, Lu Yang already knew that his lord had great ambitions, and now he had a clearer understanding of his great ambitions.

He was a confidant and didn't have too many taboos, so he said these words to Liu Cheng and came up with such an idea.

Liu Cheng thought for a while after hearing this, shook his head and said: "No, I can't do this.

There is Grand Master Dong standing above me, this behavior is inappropriate."

After a pause, he said: "However, I can persuade the Grand Master to give some official positions to the envoys who come to attend the wedding after the wedding..."

After hearing this, Lu Yang thought for a while, then a smile appeared on his face, he extended his thumb and gestured to Liu Cheng, and praised loudly: "My lord, this is a good idea!"

Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It's not really a good idea. It's just some random chess pieces. If it can have some effect, it will have some effect. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. There is no loss."

…

At Dong Zhuo's house, Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo met.

According to the rules of this era, generally speaking, the married man would not come to the woman's house after the engagement.

However, these have no binding force on Liu Cheng.

He came from later generations and had no such awareness. After learning about it, he just felt that it was too pedantic.

Dong Zhuo also welcomed Liu Cheng's arrival.

As long as Kede's grandson-in-law doesn't spend the night at his house, nothing will happen. It doesn't matter if he comes every day or sees him every day.

On the one hand, it was because of Dong Zhuo's character, he was quite reckless and disdainful of many things, so he tried to challenge him.

On the other hand, Liu Cheng and his status have reached a certain height.

Moreover, Liu Cheng is under his command. At this time, there are many things that need to be communicated with each other.

Compared with these big things, these rules and the like are nothing!

"Promotion with these people?"

Dong Zhuo said this and pondered in his heart, what was the purpose and significance of Liu Cheng's words.

After doing this, what benefits can you get?

Liu Cheng nodded and said: "It's just to promote these people and give them some rewards that sound powerful and have very high positions, but they don't have any official positions with real power.

It would be best to reward them with official positions that are nominally higher than those they are loyal to.

Moreover, this time we will only reward the envoys who came, but not the masters behind them."

Saying this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile, and he didn't look like a good person.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He nodded and said: "After these actions, our side does appear to be grand. Moreover, our side represents orthodoxy, and the official positions awarded to us are also orthodox.

Compared to Yuan Benchu, the self-proclaimed cavalry general, he is too serious...

In this way, when these people go back, no matter how beautiful their words are, their lord, even if he doesn't show it, will probably be a little uncomfortable with them in his heart...

This discomfort may disappear quickly, but at a critical moment, this discomfort may burst out.

In addition, maybe we can get some of these people to favor us..."

Dong Zhuo smiled and analyzed the possible effects after implementing what Liu Cheng said.

Liu Cheng smiled and said: "That's what my son-in-law thinks. Anyway, if there are dates or no dates, just poke two poles. If it succeeds, forget it if it doesn't. We haven't lost anything."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Ke De, Ke De, I really have you!

Sometimes, I don’t know how these ideas pop out of your kid’s head!

However, what you did is really to my liking.

I am so happy to marry my daughter to you!"

"My grandson-in-law feels honored to be my daughter's husband."

Liu Cheng said with a smile.

When Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo said this to the people carrying the sedan chair, the atmosphere suddenly became tense...

In Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo had a place specially prepared for guests from all walks of life. At this time, many people were already living there.

Chen Deng, who had received the news a long time ago and was urged by Tao Qian to set out early in the morning, was among the first batch of people to come.

There was cold rain falling outside, bringing with it a bit of chill.

From the big branches, some remaining yellow leaves will fall off from time to time.

The air seems cool.

In the past, on days like this, Chen Deng's heart would become extremely calm, as still as water, with some indescribable leisure and comfort.

But today, he couldn't feel this feeling at all.

His heart was not at peace at all.

What disturbed his heart was what he saw and heard after entering the pass.

Before coming to Guanzhong, Chen Deng had a certain understanding of Guanzhong and Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng.

However, this understanding is a biased understanding.

Although Chen Deng is a smart man, he has formed an inherent understanding of Dong Zhuo due to the trend of public opinion in the Guandong region, Dong Zhuo's identity, and the various things he had done in Luoyang before.

Even though I had received some information about Dong Zhuo's stay in Guanzhong, I didn't take it too seriously.

Because, according to what he knew about Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo didn't care about human life at all.

No matter what kind of policy that benefits the people, if it comes into his hands and is implemented, it will become a policy that harms the people...

He regarded many of the things he heard as Dong Zhuo's boasting...

However, after he actually came to Guanzhong, the various scenes he saw overturned everything he had thought before.

Let him feel a strong shock in his heart!

Is this what he thinks is Guanzhong, a place where people are living in dire straits?

This is what he thought was the extremely dilapidated Guanzhong under Dong Zhuo's brutal rule?!

This is obviously a more stable and vibrant place than Xuzhou!

Although many places in Guanzhong, which has just begun to be built, are not as good as Xuzhou, there is some spirit here that Xuzhou does not have.

Chen Deng was fascinated and shocked by these spirits.

Chen Deng felt that in the next three or two years, Guanzhong will surpass Xuzhou!

Before arriving in Guanzhong, if someone had said these words to him, he would have smiled and said nothing, and in his heart he would have classified this person into the ranks of dog thieves who are devoted to Dong's thieves.

But now, with such thoughts, he can no longer rise.

Because, if he really still has this idea, he first needs to classify himself into the ranks of Dong thieves...

He also asked people in Guanzhong many things, trying to figure things out and what was going on.

After some questioning, the news he received made him even more uneasy.

Because after some questioning, many things pointed to one person.

This person is the Liu thief Liu Huangshu!

Guanzhong can become what it is now, this person deserves the most credit!

It can be said that without this person, Guanzhong would never be in the state it is now!

This result made Chen Deng feel even more uneasy.

I originally thought that Uncle Liu Cheng and Emperor Liu were only good at fighting, but they didn't expect to be so talented in other things.

For a moment, Chen Deng's mood was extremely complicated.

He was wondering if without Liu Cheng, Guanzhong would be in ruins and chaos, which would be more conducive to Dong Zhuo's downfall.

Liu Cheng's move was equivalent to helping Dong Zhuo a lot.

I also feel that this is an act of countless living people and deserves praise...

I can’t tell the difference between right and wrong...

In the past, Chen Deng felt that he knew enough about Uncle Liu Huang.
