Zhang Xiu was not surprised. This passage was indeed described in history books. But Sun Jian was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How could he easily shake it?

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Dong, please listen to me slowly." Zhang Xiu was handsome and handsome, sitting upright and dignified. He said with a smile: "The reason why the princes in the world raised troops except Ma Teng and Han Sui rebels was fame and fortune. For example, Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi and others. However, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were different. Sun Jian started his army from Changsha and came from thousands of miles. Facing the three passes, he experienced bloody battles and entered Henan County. He can be called a loyal minister."

"Cao Cao originally joined forces with Yuan Shao, but later he broke up. I guess he was anxious when he saw Yuan Shao's feet and was anxious, so he simply left Cao Cao and marched hundreds of miles to join Sun Jian. He can also be said to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty."

When talking about Cao Cao being a [a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty], Zhang Xiu felt a little strange.

"These two people, wealth, beauty, and official positions, cannot touch their hearts. But Yuan Shu in Runan is different. This person is a three-time master of four generations and has a spoiled man and narrow-minded mind. Although Sun Jian is dependent on Yuan Shu, Sun Jian is now winning battles and winning battles, and his troops are in Luoyang, which is a big deal. Yuan Shu must be jealous. I have a plan that will make Sun Jian anxious, and it will be easy to drive Sun Jian away."

After Zhang Xiu said this, he looked up at Dong Zhuo, and couldn't help but be heroic and full of enthusiasm. He was really imposing.

Dong Zhuo was both happy and jealous when he saw it. He thought bitterly. "I was such a very energetic boy back then. He could shoot from the left and right and fight against the generals."

Dong Zhuo quickly shook his fat head, so that the fat meat trembled. After throwing out these distracting thoughts, Dong Zhuo asked, "What's the trick of Dalang?"

Li Ru's eyes were bright, he didn't expect it. But since Zhang Xiu had said it briefly, he understood it too.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Dong Gong can send Li Su, the general of the Hu Ben, as an envoy, and go to see Li Shu, the subordinate of Yuan Shu, day and night. This man is greedy for money, so Dong Gong gave him money. He asked him to slander Yuan Shu, but not to allocate food and grass to Sun Jian. After the agreement is completed, more money will be given."

"This is a secret plan. I have another plan. To go hand in hand, it will inevitably make Sun Jian short of food in the army."

Li Ru had already guessed it, and couldn't help but nodded with a smile. Dong Zhuo's eyes were bright, and he laughed and said, "Dalang, it's really my pillar. With Dalang here, I'm not worried about the world. Well, I'll summon Li Su immediately and let him go again."

"What's another plan?"

Finally, Dong Zhuo opened his huge eyes in anticipation and looked at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but he changed his mind and said, "This plan is simple, just ask Mr. Li to go with me."

After saying that, Zhang Xiu gave a detailed explanation to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was both surprised and happy when he heard this. He nodded repeatedly and laughed, "I'm a good plan, a good plan. Li Ru, you can go with Zhang Xiu."

Li Ru also looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise. He guessed the first plan, but he didn't guess the second plan. This Han Shouhou was really brave and resourceful.

"No." Li Ru responded to the promise, and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo with Zhang Xiu and came outside the study. Li Ru said to the guards outside the room: "Prepare a carriage and go to the mansion of Liu Biao, the Northern Central Army."

"promise."

One of the guards immediately agreed and went down to prepare the car. Not long after, Zhang Xiu and Li Ru took the same car to Liu Biao's mansion.

Liu Biao was the prince of the former Han (Western Han Dynasty) and the descendant of King Gong of Lu. He was famous at a young age and was known as the "Eight Horses" along with the other seven handsome talents.

Later, the eunuchs kept arguing with their relatives, and Liu Biao was implicated and imprisoned and not allowed to be hired. This is the famous "Clash of Party and Prison", and countless people were involved.

After Dong Zhuo took office, he opened up the party and obstructed people and pardoned many people.

However, Liu Biao was not pardoned by Dong Zhuo. He was summoned by General He Jin and served as the waiter of the Northern Central Army.

The Northern Army had five schools, the Shoush Captain, the Changshui Captain, the Infantry Captain, the Yueqi Captain, and the Tunqi Captain, which were important military forces inside and outside Luoyang.

The five generals of the five lieutenants were each in one army, and they were not subordinate to each other. However, the court set up the five lieutenants of the Northern Central Army. The Northern Central Army had low positions, but their positions were of great power.

Therefore, during the period of General He Jin, the Northern Army was controlled by He Jin.

Now the Northern Army has been destroyed in name only and has been annexed by Dong Zhuo, but various official positions are still there.

The last time Li Ru suggested that Liu Biao be the governor of Jingzhou, but Zhang Xiu accidentally disturbed him.

Liu Biao's wife had long died, and there were no concubines in the mansion, so he only took two sons to serve as officials in Luoyang. Because Dong Zhuo took office in the government, he was also cautious and had some private contempt.

Otherwise, Li Ru would not have let Liu Biao be the governor of Jingzhou.

When Zhang Xiu and Li Ru's carriages arrived in front of Liu Biao's mansion, they also asked the guardian to inform him in accordance with the serious etiquette.

At that time, Liu Biao was reading a book in the study. When he heard that Zhang Xiu and Li Ru came, his right hand shook and the bamboo slip fell to the ground.

The handsome and fair cheeks were covered with clouds. But soon he let out a breath, his face turned from dark to sunny, he stood up with a smile, and walked out of the mansion to greet him.

"Zhang Piaoqi (Zhang Xiu), Mr. Li. The two great masters are here, and they are so bright." Liu Biao said enthusiastically and politely.

Zhang Xiu and Li Ru also bent down politely and said to him "Liu Beijun."

After some politeness, Liu Biao brought Zhang Xiu and Li Ru into the study. He did not dare to sit in the main seat, so he asked Zhang Xiu to sit in the main seat, and he and Li Ru sat on the left and right sides.

"Liu Beijun (Liu Biao), I have always known that you are a talented official. Therefore, there is something to be done today that I have to leave to Liu Beijun to do." Zhang Xiu was in charge of the hall, with a fierce aura, but a smile on his face.

Liu Biao had known this person for a long time, and he must have been bad at the visitor. At this moment, he was secretly complaining in his heart, and smiled and said, "Zhang Piaoqi is too famous, I am just a false reputation."

"Hey, there are no vulgar scholars under the reputation. Liu Beijun is too modest." Zhang Xiu said with a slight smile.

Liu Biao suddenly felt a stern and said honestly: "I dare to ask the general, what's the matter?"

"Yuan Shu instructed Sun Jian and Cao Cao to attack the city and fall into the city. Now the 70,000 army is about to arrive in Luoyang. Liu Beijun should know that, right?"

Zhang Xiu asked with a smile, looking harmless.

"I know." Liu Biao nodded honestly. Luoyang knew everything about this, how could he not know about it?

"Yuan Shu was named after the Fourth Three Dukes, but he was actually just a playboy who was forgiving his power. When he saw Sun Jian and Cao Cao win, he would be jealous. I plan to let you pretend to be the emperor's robbery, and add Sun Jian to the governor of Jingzhou, and the former general granted the Marquis of Wu's fief, and add Cao Cao to the right general, and granted the Marquis of Qiaoxiang, and granted three thousand households. But he did not mention Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu would be angry. Sun Jian, although Cao Cao was strong, he needed Yuan Shu's food and grass support. Once this plan came out, the three of them would inevitably be in chaos. For Liu Beijun, it was also a great achievement. I submitted the emperor to the emperor to increase the title of Liu Beijun."

Zhang Xiu had a kind smile on his face, but when he fell into Liu Biao's eyes, he was like an evil ghost crawling out of hell, making him feel cold all over his body.

I remember that Liu Biao was a distinctive relative of the foreign affairs and a literati faction, and was upright. However, he was imprisoned by the Party for many years and tempered his horns. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo took power, he did not support him openly, but secretly flattered him and almost went to Jingzhou to become the governor.

He is a person who cherishes his reputation. If he helped Zhang Xiu use this strategy, wouldn’t his reputation be completely ruined? He is a descendant of the Han Dynasty... Now he is a rebel who is helping the thief!!!

After thinking about it, Liu Biao gritted his teeth and politely refused: "Zhang Piaoqi. I have always been the stupidest..."

Before Liu Biao finished speaking, Zhang Xiu smiled and pointed at Li Ru, saying, "Liu Beijun should not refuse first, you have to think about it, who is Mr. Li Ru and Mr. Li?"

"Hehe." Li Ru smiled and understood what Zhang Xiu meant to bring him. He gently pinched his beard and showed his cold eyes.

Liu Biao looked up at Li Ru and was shocked.

Who is Li Ru? Although it was not Li Ru who took action by himself, Li Ru directly participated in the use of poisoned wine (poisoned wine) and poisoned King Hongnong.

Liu Biao was already middle-aged and his courage was no longer as good as before. He became greedy and afraid of death. What's more, his two sons...

"No." After Liu Biaosi thought about it, many cold sweats appeared on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and replied. Then, he collapsed on the ground like a loach.

He howled in his heart. "Zhang Xiu, you must not die well."

Zhang Xiu didn't care how Liu Biao hated him. Even if Liu Biao really became the governor of Jingzhou, the threat would not be great.

What's more, this bird looks like now?

Except for a few top-notch scholars such as Wang Yun, the scholar rebelled for ten years. Can Liu Biao do it?

Zhang Xiu is not only not afraid of Liu Biao, but will also make some use of it in the future.

Moreover, this time, Liu Biao used his strategy to disagree with Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao, and his reputation became bad, so he could only follow them one way to the end.

"Why is Liu Beijun like this? Our future is bright." Zhang Xiu smiled, stood up and helped Liu Biao up, and then helped him sit down.

Liu Biao opened his mouth, but did not dare to really scold him.

Immediately, a special official sent a "jade belt" with a "robbery of clothes and belts" hidden inside. Zhang Xiu gave the "robbery of clothes and belts" to Liu Biao. Li Ru equipped Liu Biao with a team of 200 light cavalry and asked them to escort Liu Biao, detour through Sishui Pass, and traveled day and night to Luyang to meet Yuan Shu.

Before Liu Biao left, Li Ru sent a team of troops to surround Liu Biao's mansion.

It is obvious that Liu Biao's two sons were used as hostages.

Full of maliciousness.

After seeing Liu Biao off in front of Liu Biao's mansion, Zhang Xiu said to Li Ru: "Sir, you can go back first. I will lead my personal soldiers to patrol the city walls and stabilize people's hearts."

"Okay." Li Ru responded, then boarded the carriage first, bowed to Zhang Xiu, and left. Zhang Xiu turned over and took the light cavalry such as Dian Wei, and headed towards the south of the city.
