Chapter 459 Oh! Good guy card!

Here in Chang'an, time goes forward a little, and we come to five days before New Year's Eve.

Here, Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was discussing something with Dong Zhuo in the secret room.

In the past, Liu Cheng was also a frequent visitor here.

Now that Liu Cheng has gone to Yushan, there are only two of them left here.

At this time, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable.

"...As Kede had expected before, Liu Yan's sons were indeed dishonest. They looked very honest on the surface, but in fact they made some small moves from time to time.

At this time, they have already established a line with Xiliang, and with them as internal agents, Xiliang will be bolder."

Li Ru smiled and reported the situation to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "This is the best.

However, if you want to lure the people from Xiliang out, I'm afraid it won't work just by relying on these. These guys are not young boys and will be easily fooled.

Everyone is well versed in the principle of living life with a pinch of salt and putting safety first."

Li Ru nodded, feeling deeply about this.

This can be seen from the fact that after learning that their capital was being moved to Chang'an, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others returned to Liangzhou without stopping.

"The main reason is that the large army stationed at Aotou Mountain is too intimidating, so that the people in Xiliang dare not move lightly."

Li Ru spoke.

After releasing the message to attack Xiliang, Dong Zhuo also made other moves in order to confuse Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

The most important thing is to transport grain and grass to Aotou Mountain, dispatch troops and horses there, and adopt the attitude and actions required to attack Liangzhou.

At this time, Aotou Mountain was full of soldiers and horses.

"If you want the people of Liangzhou to leave Liangzhou boldly, you need to remove most of the troops and horses in Liangzhou. Only in this way will they feel safe and confident."

Dong Zhuo shook his head when he heard this and said: "I would like to mobilize a large number of troops, but I can't withdraw without a suitable reason.

If we really do this, our purpose of luring those people out will be exposed, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.

I'm afraid these people will be even more reluctant to come out in the future."

Li Ru naturally understands this truth.

He scratched his head: "How can I have a legitimate reason to retreat?"

While saying this, he scratched his head and turned around in the secret room.

After doing this for a while, several thoughts came to his mind.

But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that such an idea was not very safe, so he rejected it.

"It would be great if people from Guandong or other places could rebel and come to attack Guanzhong. In this case, we would have a legitimate reason to retreat."

Li Ru sighed and said.

After saying that, he shook his head again, feeling that this was unreliable.

Those people in Kanto are already busy doing their own things at this time, and are very worried that their side will send troops to attack them. Under such circumstances, how can they take the initiative to provoke them?

Not only did Li Ru think it was impossible, Dong Zhuo also thought it was impossible.

The two of them deliberated here for a while, but couldn't come up with a suitable solution.

"Why don't you ask Kede secretly to see if Kede can do anything? This kid is very thoughtful and has many ideas in his mind..."

Li Ru spoke to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo nodded, expressing his agreement with Li Ru's words.

After the two said some more words, Li Ru said goodbye and left.

Let me temporarily shift the focus of work from these things. After all, the new year is approaching, there are some other things that need to be done, and I also need to relax a little...

On the night of New Year's Eve, many lights are lit in Chang'an City. Many people with certain conditions will hang two red lanterns at the door. Although it is a simple decoration, such a simple decoration is a perfect match for the New Year. The atmosphere suddenly came out.

It was at this time that a fast horse galloped all the way to Chang'an.

Hold a special token and let the people guarding the city gate watch.

The gate of Chang'an City has been closed, and naturally it will not change just because of the arrival of a few people.

However, baskets were lowered from the city wall and several people were hung up on the city wall.

"What's the urgent military situation?"

The general who defended the city asked aloud, with some anxiety.

Because the people who came to report the military situation came at a very special time and used special tokens.

"There is a rebellion in Guandong, and Zhu Jun is calling on all the people in the world to attack Guanzhong in Zhongmu!!"

It wouldn't take long for the news to spread, and since he knew the person asking, he told him.

As he spoke, he hurriedly got off Chang'an City, and under the guidance of some soldiers on patrol at night, they galloped all the way towards where Dong Zhuo was.

The horses' hooves beat on the street, which was very loud in the silent night, and made many people's hearts tremble...

In Chang'an City, those who learned the news looked unhappy, and many soldiers felt a little nervous.

On the one hand, Zhu Jun's reputation is too great, and on the other hand, the timing is not coincidental.

Because he was murdered by a traitor, Uncle Liu's military power was taken away, and Guanzhong's strength was greatly weakened.

Moreover, the Grand Master is preparing to raise troops to attack Xiliang. The news has been released, and the recent mobilization of troops and horses has all been directed towards Xiliang. Ma Teng, Han Sui and others from Xiliang have already been mobilized.

As a result, now Zhu Jun has raised an army, and he is the kind of person who calls on the world when he takes action. How can this not make people feel panicked?

Not only them, but also the person who sent the letter and others who knew the news felt heavy in their hearts...

Dong Zhuo hasn't slept yet, mainly because today is the New Year's Day, the first New Year after coming to Chang'an. Our Master Dong was very happy and held a family banquet in his mansion to reunite the family.

This time, Dong Zhuo did not prepare for this family banquet by eating at separate tables. Instead, he placed four large round tables in the room with chairs around them.

Not to mention, it’s lively and atmospheric.

Dong Zhuo was not sitting on the main seat. The person sitting on the main seat was an old woman in gorgeous clothes.

This old woman is quite old. The skin on her face and hands is very loose and covered with age spots. Her eyelids are loose and cover most of her cloudy eyeballs.

This person is none other than Dong Zhuo's mother and Dong Bai's great-grandmother.

I am already eighty-nine years old this year. If I wake up from sleep, I will be ninety years old tomorrow.

In addition to Dong's mother, present were Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min, who was worshiped as General Zuo, and his nephews Dong Huang, Dong Fang, Dong Qi and others.

Li Ru, his wife and children, and Niu Fu's wife and children were also among them.

Dong Zhuo sat at the same table with his younger brother, his mother, his sister-in-law, and his widowed sister-in-law.

Dong Huang, Dong Fang, Dong Qi, Li Ru and other younger generations sat at the same table.

People of the younger generation sat at two tables.

People have never gathered together like this before. Except for Niu Fu who is leading the troops in Aotou Mountain and Dong Bai who is married and is following her husband Liu Cheng in Yushan, everyone else is here.

Dong Zhuo's fat face was covered with a smile...

"I haven't seen that child Nannan for a long time. If nothing happens, let her come back and take her uncle with her. I don't care about the rest. I am an old woman and I won't think about it that much. I only know that it is my important responsibility.

Granddaughter, and uncle..."

Mother Dong, who had eaten some soft and glutinous food, spoke to Dong Zhuo with a trembling voice. Although she was older, her head was clear.

When he spoke at this time, he spoke with great authority.

Even Dong Zhuo, who had always been lawless, quickly lowered his head and said yes with a smile.

She was old and in low spirits. Mother Dong sat here to eat for a while. After sitting for a while, she got up and went back to her room to rest.

Brothers Dong Zhuo and Dong Min got up and took Dong's mother back to her room in person, and then came back to continue eating and talking.

It's all small talk.

"What do you think about letting Nannan, Kede and the others go back to Chang'an?"

After chatting for a while, the topic casually turned to Liu Cheng and Dong Bai. After talking for a while, Dong Zhuo spoke like this.

Dong Min said: "Of course it's okay, I think the previous facts, brother's punishment to the kid Ke De was a bit too much.

That kid was really capable and had made great contributions, but because of some nonsense rumors, he was forced to hand over military power...

Just live a few more days and avoid the limelight..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh a little, feeling unfair about Liu Cheng's experience.

Dong Zhuo was about to speak when he noticed a person appeared at the door. He stretched his head at the door and looked inside, then retracted.

This is Dong Zhuo's stewardship. At this time, if nothing is wrong, he will never show up.

Dong Zhuo immediately got up and went out.
