Chapter 456: I can persuade Lu Bu

The envoy under Yan Xing once again quietly carried the letters and walked from Chen Cang's camp in the name of exploration. Under the mysterious night, he secretly sneaked to Dong Zhuo's military camp east of the Wei River.

It was late at night, and the elderly Dong Zhuo had already gone to bed, but after getting the patrol caller who caught someone to see him, he hurriedly got up, regardless of sleepiness.

Instead of wearing armor, he wore an underwear and ordered people to light an oil lamp. He sat in the first place in the tent with a golden sword, waiting for the messenger.

When he was young, the man was taken into the commander's tent under the watch of the Western Liang soldiers. After seeing the ceremony, he handed the letter to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo opened the letter and just looked at a few lines, then frowned, feeling quite angry.

The font, the text between the lines, including the shameless request - exactly the same as Han Sui in Dong Zhuo's impression, so he did not even suspect that the letter was not written by Han Sui.

"Not only do you need to be the general of the four expeditions, but you also need to be the governor of Liangzhou and the marquis of Yunwu County? Haha, you have a big appetite."

Just muttering, Dong Zhuo looked up at the messenger and said angrily: "Your General Han told you when he was about to leave. If I don't agree, what will he do?"

The person who came to deliver the letter answered honestly: "This letter was not given to me by Mr. Han himself, but by Mr. Yan, I ordered me to take it here and hand it over to the Prime Minister himself. As for whether the Prime Minister agrees or not, this is not something I can guess."

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "When I go back and tell Han Sui that he should not even think about the position of Liangzhou Governor and Marquis. I will not give it to him! It should be his, and of course it is his, and it should not be his things. He can't take it. If he wants to... rely on merit to exchange it, I promised him the position of generals of the four expeditions. It is a favor given by heaven. If he agrees, the edict will be issued immediately! If he doesn't respond, then I will have nothing to do with him."

The messenger was also well-behaved and nodded repeatedly to say yes.

Dong Zhuo said again: "I will send a letter to Yan Xing, and ask him to find a way to send it to Han Sui and make a decision as soon as possible. I can't wait so endlessly!"

After saying that, he ordered someone to grind ink and take a pen, and wrote another letter to Han Sui.

...

When Dong Zhuo's letter reached Liu Qi, he knew that the time was almost the same.

There is no need to reply to Han Sui again, just let Han Sui and Ma Teng wait in the back.

The two greedy wolves will never act rashly before they get Dong Zhuo’s reply.

As for Dong Zhuo, as long as he calculates his life, he just needs to ask Ma Xuan to reply to him with a letter, agree to his conditions, and then lure Dong Zhuo to send troops.

This layout is a precursor.

Next, we arranged the troops to prepare for the preparation of troops, practiced carefully, and prepared to wait for a war that would suddenly come.

Three days later, the scout of the Jingzhou Army brought back news to Liu Qi, saying that Wang Yun and Fu Wan from Xihua Mountain were pretending to be refugees and moved west together with Xizuo, who was going to contact them. They were approaching the camp in the Weishui River... In order to prevent being hit by Dong Zhuo's patrol, Xizuo asked Liu Qi to send troops to respond quickly.

Two court officials came to pretend to be refugees, so Liu Qi naturally would not ignore it. He immediately ordered Gan Ning to lead the white cavalry out of Chen Cang to quickly pick up Wang Yun and Fu Wan.

Gan Ning lived up to everyone's expectations, set off at the end of Chen Shi, and Shen Shi brought Wang Yun and Fu Wan back at the beginning of the moment.

When the two important officials arrived here, Liu Qi naturally wanted to greet them in person.

After all, they are not only important officials in the court, but also extremely outstanding in family matters, and are extremely powerful among the gentry in the world.

Needless to say, Wang Yun was ranked in the third duke, and the Wang family in Taiyuan was also a prominent family in Bingzhou. He held important official positions in the counties of Bingzhou for generations, and had a great influence.

Fuwan's wife was the daughter of Emperor Huan, and he was also a well-deserved relative of the foreign country. Apart from this identity, Fuwan himself was also a great scholar of Confucianism in the Western Han Dynasty. His family was a famous Confucian family in Langya County, Qingzhou.

As a party member, Pang Degong's disciples naturally respected these two famous scholars.

He came to Chencang County in person to attract the two of them into the city.

But when Liu Qi saw the state of the two people, he was a little stunned.

Not only Liu Qi, but also the generals and officials who followed him to welcome the two loyal ministers and famous scholars in the court, were also straightforward.

The two of them dressed at this moment, they didn’t look like two court officials, they were clearly two refugees who were escaping from famine!

All the brocade and gorgeous clothes were gone, and they were dressed in thick clothes, linen and straw shoes. The undressed face was covered with dust. Everyone was leaning on a long wooden stick and carrying two worn-out bags on their bodies. They were close to them, and they seemed to smell a moldy and sour smell.

If it weren't for the introduction of his own soldiers, everyone present would never have thought that these two old men who were like lower-class people among the victims would have been Wang Yun and Fu Wan.

Liu Qi glanced at Gan Ning with a squinted look, as if he was seeking confirmation from him.

Gan Ning nodded affirmatively, it seemed that he had carefully checked it.

Liu Qi walked forward and saluted to the two of them, "I dare to ask you two, but..."

The 50-year-old man in front of him was the first to speak: "I am Wang Yun, and this is Fu Gong. He always serves the emperor all year round, goes to the palace and hears about the government affairs."

Liu Qi suddenly realized: "Situ and Fu Gong worked hard all the way, follow me into the county quickly. Liu Qi ordered people to boil water and hold a banquet to welcome the two of them."

Wang Yun raised his sleeves and sniffed his own scent carefully. He frowned, as if he even disliked him.

"It's Lao Boyu." Wang Yun said with a wry smile: "I have been running from Chang'an since I ran away from Chang'an. I have never had a full meal in the past few days. In order to arrive at Chen Cang safely, I had to dress myself up as this scene of suffering to avoid Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears."

When Liu Qi heard this, he suddenly realized.

No wonder, these two people are important officials in the court, and close ministers around the emperor, with respect to their identities. Even if they are affected by disasters, they will not make themselves so embarrassed, right? It turned out that they were deliberately doing it, just to avoid Dong Zhuo's search.

"The two seniors have suffered. Hurry up, follow me to the county government."

At that moment, Liu Qi led the two imperial officials to the county government and asked the soldiers to boil water for them and prepare clean clothes for them to change.

The two of them didn't even politely to Liu Qi, so they went to wash and change clothes.

It took almost an hour to wash and change clothes.

Liu Qi was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly in the hall.

The two of them were completely renewed. Under the guidance of the sergeant, Liu Qi had already set up a banquet in the main hall, and he immediately invited the two to sit down.

As Situ and one of the three Dukes, Wang Yun asked him to sit in the main seat.

Wang Yun was very polite and refused to Liu Qi several times, but in the end he could not resist this junior, so the guest followed the host and took the upper hand.

Although the dishes on the table table are not rich, they are very similar to their intentions. In particular, there are two small tripods on the table of Wang Yun and Fu Wan, which contain fresh soup cooked with pheasants.

The people present for the banquet were not available on the other people's desks, only these two "refugees" who came from afar.

Fu Wan trembledly and put the soup into his mouth with a spoon.

In an instant, tears actually fell in his eyes.

Wang Yun's expression was also a little bitter. Although he didn't cry, his face was bitter, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Dian Wei and Gan Ning were in the seat, and the two sat in the same case.

Dian Wei was surprised to see Fu Wan poisoning a mouthful of chicken soup, and she cried in public.

He asked Gan Ning in a low voice, "Why did you cry after drinking this delicious chicken soup? Could it be that it is poisonous chicken soup?"

Gan Ning grinned and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense! How could the Duke give them poisonous chicken soup... I think it was the chef who made it salty."

Liu Qi looked at Fu Wan and said softly: "Why did Fu Gong cry?"

Fu Wan wiped his tears and sighed: "I'm not hiding it from Boyu, I've been in trouble in Chang'an since we've been unable to taste meat for dozens of days. During this period, I'll stop talking about wild vegetables in the mountains. When I'm so hungry, even the leaves are used to preserve fruits. It's really a matter of eating people!"

Liu Qi sighed when he heard this.

Wang Yun, who was in charge, sighed and said, "I just don't know what happened to Your Majesty in Dong Zhuo's palm. Is it still peaceful? Old Dong Zhuo's old thief is vicious. What should I do if he abuses Your Majesty?"

Liu Qi comforted them and said, "Don't worry, although Dong Zhei was cruel and vicious, His Majesty is the foundation of his foothold in the world. I think he would not attack His Majesty."

But Wang Yun suddenly looked at Liu Qi and said, "Boyu, I am Jingsheng's fellow generation, and I am also thirty years older than you. Today, I am the uncle here to ask you for your Majesty. No matter what, I will rescue Your Majesty from Dong Zhe. Now that I have seen all the Muslims, you are the only one who has the ability."

Liu Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Situ, as a member of the royal family, Liu naturally wanted to save His Majesty from suffering. However, Dong's thief was powerful, and Liu Qi could only barely maintain an invincible situation with Dong's thief, and it was difficult to have a good plan to defeat the enemy for a while."

Wang Yun put down the spoon and said, "How is it not there? Dong Thief seems to be powerful, but in fact there are many internal conflicts, especially between the Bingzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army. The Bingzhou Army's chief general, Lu Bu, was named Dong Zhuo's adopted son, actually had many gaps with him. If he could alienate Lu Bu, he would definitely defeat Dong Zhuo's army from within!"

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I have no friendship with Lu Bu, so how can I tell him?"
