The author of these old secrets has long since died, and the insiders have also passed away one by one. But as long as Empress Dowager Dong is still alive, she must be careful...

After Dong Zhuo left the palace, he went directly to Jia Xu's mansion.

Jia Xu bought a house in Luoyang, which was very remote in the west of the city. Along the way, Dong Zhuo complained a lot about it, it was remote and far away!

"Dong Gong is here, the flowers are shining brightly!" Jia Xu greeted at the door of the house.

"Wenhe, how can you live in such a simple house!" Dong Zhuo scolded him as he entered the house.

Entering a small courtyard, there were several children playing and a few old women looking after them. Dong Zhuo took a look and couldn't help but frown.

"Why use old slaves?" Dong Zhuo asked again, the expression on his face became incredible. Aren't young slaves delicious?

Jia Xu smiled, led Dong Zhuo directly into the hall, and ignored Dong Zhuo's question.

"Dong Gong is here, what is your mission?"

"We came here because of King Bohai's affairs. After the court was over, we went to see the Empress Dowager and tried to persuade her again. However, the Empress Dowager bit her to death and said that the ministers would join forces. She did not trust her clan members. Wen Wen

And, what should I do?" Dong Zhuo said.

Jia Xu said without hesitation: "Dong Gong, this is easy. The only person the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager relies on is Dong Gong. Dong Gong only needs to declare that the Xianbei army is invading. As Bingzhou shepherd, Dong Gong should lead his army to resist. The Empress Dowager will definitely

If not, the position of Bingzhou Shepherd will be given to whomever the lord wants!"

"Is this okay?" Dong Zhuo was a little unconvinced.

"Of course it is feasible. This plan is to retreat in order to advance. The Empress Dowager will definitely not let Mr. Dong leave Luoyang. Although the establishment of a clan as a pastoralist is scary, the land of Bingzhou is an exception."

Dong Zhuo also understood the meaning of exceptions. There were many mountains, a sparse population, and extremely complex ingredients. He was also constantly on guard against looting and even invasion by Xianbei tribes. No matter how you looked at it, this was not a mistake.

Dong Zhuo's own title of Bingzhou Mu was mostly just a title, but Dong Zhuo knew Bingzhou very well. He had served as both a county magistrate and a county official, and finally became the governor.

Seeing Jia Xu's promise, Dong Zhuo decided to give it a try.

When leaving, Jia Xu saw him off, and Dong Zhuo also claimed that he would give Jia Xu a house and a few young slaves...

…

Chenliu County.

At this time, Chen Liu was still in the haze of Qiao Mao's murder.

Zhang Miao only learned of this after returning to Chenliu. After being defeated in Liang County, the remaining soldiers who returned to Chenliu were less than a thousand, which was really tragic.

However, he was lucky. He heard that Li Min, the governor of Yingchuan, was captured by Xu Rong and cooked alive.

It sounds so creepy that my scalp feels numb.

In addition to Qiao Mao being killed and Liu Dai retreating, more news came one after another.

Yuan Shao was defeated in Hanoi and suffered heavy losses. After escaping back to Runan, there was no news. The other coalition forces also left one after another and scattered. The vigorous Chenliu Alliance only lasted for a few months before it failed. Only one place was left in Chenliu.

Chicken feathers.

In the county government, Zhang Miao, who had always been open-minded, was also a little depressed. After several failures, even the leader of the alliance Yuan Shao lost news after returning to Runan. Zhang Miao felt at a loss.

Dong, do you still want to ask for it?

Han, do you still want to help me?

There were guests at the county government. In addition to Zhang Miao, Zhang Su, and Chen Gong, there were also Zhang Miao's younger brothers, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, and Zang Hong, the meritorious Cao of Guangling.

In addition, there was also Cheng Yu who was once under Qiao Mao's tent. After Qiao Mao was killed, Cheng Yu fled back to Chenliu.

Among the group of people, Zhang Chao and Zang Hong were relatively energetic, mainly because they had not been severely beaten by Xu Rong.

Zhang Miao said: "Everyone, the alliance is now broken. Liu Dai killed Yuan Wei yesterday and will draw his sword against Chen Liu tomorrow. The situation in Chen Liu is extremely dangerous. Do you have any good ideas to solve it?"

Everyone acquiesced and thought about it.

"Gongtai?" Zhang Miao asked Chen Gong.

Chen Gong had some frustration on his face. In the frontline battle, one failure and two failures were not terrible. What was terrible was that the Allied Forces were internally disintegrated. Chen Gong was greatly disappointed.

He was also very disappointed with Yuan Shao.

As for Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's skills were inferior to those of others, and he was willing to be inferior. Victory and defeat were common matters for military strategists.

"Master Fu, for the current plan, the most important thing is that Chen Liu does not have enough troops. We should recruit troops as soon as possible to prevent Liu Dai from launching an attack."

Zhang Miao glanced at Zhang Su beside him, and the latter gave instructions and left immediately.

Just do it and recruit troops immediately.

At this time, Cheng Yu interjected: "Master Fu, you should send more people to investigate the movements of Liu Dai's army so that you can prepare early. In addition, you have to be on guard in the south."

To the south? That’s Yuan Shao of Yuzhou.

"Zhongde thinks Yuan Shao also has plans for Chen Liu?" Zhang Miao asked in disbelief.

Cheng Yu shook his head and expressed that he was not sure.

"It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist." Cheng Yu said calmly, "Liu Dai has shattered the last trace of trust. Since the death of Lord Qiaofu, Yanzhou will definitely be in chaos. Shanyang Yuan's legacy belongs to the Yuan family and Jiyin

Ding Yuan belongs to the Yuan family, so you should make plans early."

Zhang Miao felt that it was too difficult for him. If even the Yuan family could not tolerate him, he would really have no way out.

"Is it possible that the only way is to join the Yuan family?" Zhang Miao asked.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is determined to be able to achieve something, and to join the Yuan family is to tie his own hands and feet to help the enemy!" Chen Gong suddenly said.

Zhang Miao glanced at Chen Gong secretly, and heard from what he just said that Chen Gong was extremely disappointed with Yuan Shao, and it sounded like Chen Gong had other plans.

"Gongtai, do you have any ideas?"

Chen Gong glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said: "There is no way in the state, so I look for a way out of the state! Mr. Fu, you and Cao Cao are old friends. Chen stayed in the west and Cao Cao in the east."

, if you turn your passivity into an initiative and join forces with Cao Cao to attack Liu Dai, if this is successful, you can divide Yanzhou and rule it. Even if it fails, it is better for two people to work together to resist Liu Dai than just one person. The question is, can Fujun convince him?

Cao Cao."

Chen Gong's words really shocked everyone. Liu Dai found an excuse to disobey military orders by killing Qiao Mao. Zhang Miao attacked Liu Dai, which was really powerful.

Zhang Miao has a lot of brains when he commits rebellion against his superiors and attacks his clan members.

Zhang Miao also realized this problem and hit the nail on the head: "We are waiting for our teacher to come out without a name!"

"This is not necessarily the case. Mr. Qiaofu is a famous scholar in the world. He wrote a famous book about Yan Yu. Liu Dai is good at killing, which is unjust. Mr. Qiaofu is also an official of the court. Even if he is convicted, he should be punished by the court. Liu Dai kills him, which is wrong.

Lynching is unfair, unfair and unjust, so the ruler can send righteous soldiers to fight against it!" Cheng Yu said.

These words made Zhang Miao's heart light up. What Cheng Yu said was true, otherwise the scholars would not have been shocked when Qiao Mao was killed.

Chen Gong accepted Cheng Yu's words and said: "The Yuan family will also seize this point to make a big fuss. You should contact Cao Cao as soon as possible!"

Zhang Miao nodded, thinking about Cao Cao, and suddenly he thought of another person.

King of Bohai.

So he said: "Everyone, since Liu Dai has done something unjust, can I ask someone to help me? For example... the King of Bohai."

The name "Bohai King" came up, and everyone was stunned. This name has been too loud in the past two years, and it is impossible not to hear it. Ping Huangjin, Yuwai Clan, I heard that recently, Ping Heishan Bandit has become a benevolent person.

The embodiment of virtue and justice.

Chen Gong suddenly said: "The Lord seems to have some friendship with me, I can give it a try!"

Hearing this, Zhang Miao suddenly became energetic and said, "I have indeed met King Bohai several times. At that time, King Bohai rushed to the aid of Chen Liu and defeated Peng Tuo under Chen Liu's city. Later, King Bohai married the Cai family of Yuxian County. I had the honor to witness the ceremony.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Cai is the daughter of Chen Liu, and the King of Bohai should be Chen Liu’s son-in-law. If I tell you about my difficulties, maybe I can really get his help!"

Listening to Zhang Miao's words, everyone showed a hint of envy in their eyes. Who is the King of Bohai? It would be a blessing in life to get to know him!

Zhang Chao, in particular, stared with eyes wide open and said expectantly: "Brother, how about I make a trip for you! I haven't seen King Bohai yet!"

"If you want to go, it's also Bayou who wants to go. He and the King of Bohai still have a chance to fight!"

"Tch, I know this. Without King Bohai, Zhang Fate would be gone!" Zhang Chao said disdainfully, unconvinced.

"That's better than what you've never seen before!" Zhang Miao was unyielding when he gained the upper hand.

The two of them went back and forth, and the solemn atmosphere in front of the royal hall became more lively. Now, there was a plan to join forces with Cao Cao to resist Liu, and then ask King Bohai for help.

"Brother, I also heard that there is anyone from the Chenliu Gao family working under King Bohai?"

"You are talking about a filial father. Last year, although King Bohai went north to fight against Xianbei, he always wanted to return to Chenliu. He should work under King Bohai."

"It's a pity that the Gao family has married the Yuan family, so they have surrendered to the Yuan family. When Yuan Shao attacked Hanoi, Gao Gan also went with the army. Otherwise, it would have been a great help!" Zhang Miao said with regret.

"Brother, don't belittle yourself. No matter what others do, you have to be strong. If Liu Dai comes, it's just to fight!" As he said that, he patted Zang Hong on the shoulder next to him, as if to say: Brother, I'm right!

"That's right! My two brothers and I swear to live and die together!" Zang Hong, who was not good at words, said this rarely.

Chen Gong looked at the few people with unspeakable complexities in his heart. The atmosphere became lively and his fighting spirit became stronger. I wonder if this is because he is ignorant and fearless?

He still couldn't control his thoughts. It was no exaggeration to say that now that he was in danger, it was time for him to plan for others, and it was time for him to plan for himself...

…

Ye County, Wei County.

Time management master Liu Qing rode a horse with Qian Ying in the evening, bathed in the sunset with her, and listened to her slowly telling stories about the grassland.
