30. You said can I become a ghost in the sky of Dahan
Li Jue's attitude was very respectful, and he clearly recognized Li Shushi, who also made a lot of achievements in the frontier fortress, and the Bingzhou Army under Li Shushi, even though he and Lu Bu were at war with each other because of the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan.
However, his words were full of unchangeable and irreversible toughness. It seemed that as long as Li Shushi dared not to carry out Dong Zhuo's orders, Dong Zhuo's cronies would draw their swords even if they knew they were losing, and let Li Shushi know the Xiliang Army's intentions.
courage.
Should we say that this man is truly a fanatical believer of Dong Zhuo? He is really willing to sacrifice himself for Dong Zhuo.
"Thank you, General Li, but even if you don't care about your manners, your prime minister must also pay attention to your face. Anyway, your prime minister and I are now important officials of the imperial court. This meeting is not as casual as exchanging glasses of wine in private.
Okay. So I would like to ask the general to wait here for a while, and then go to pay a visit to the Prime Minister after bathing and changing clothes."
Because the previous decisive battle between Dong Zhuo's army and the coalition forces was publicized by Dong Zhuo's side as a great victory for Dong Zhuo's army, naturally those who participated in the battle had to be promoted according to their merit. Although Li Jue and Guo Si were guarding the two wings of Dong Zhuo's army's fish scale formation, it was nothing.
gain, but
Firstly, their existence provided enough guarantee for the middle army of the Fish Scale Formation to attack freely. Secondly, they were Dong Zhuo's absolute confidants, so both of them successfully climbed up to the fifth rank due to the merits of this battle.
The position of the general.
Otherwise, even if Li Shushi wants to compliment the other party with a general, I am afraid that the other party will only feel that he is being ridiculed.
"That's...that's fine."
Faced with such a "reasonable" request, even the somewhat impatient Li Jue agreed after hesitation.
After all, after staying in Luoyang for such a long time and attending many banquets, Li Jue knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion was not as casual as it was in the military camp back then. The men in the military camp might be accustomed to the stinky smell of sweat.
It's a very status symbol, but for those gentle people, it's a huge faux pas.
However, Li Shushi also saw from such a small incident that the current Xiliang Army has undergone some changes after being "educated" in Luoyang during this period. Although it will not have much impact for a while, but
Some seeds have already been planted.
The only thing that is uncertain is how Dong Zhuo will deal with this problem. However, judging from the intelligence collected by Li Shushi before, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo not only has no ability to deal with these problems, but also has some plans to let these poor people who are used to living in poor places
After letting go and having fun, the momentum even made Li Shushi think of the feeling of "die if you have too much fun".
Compared with the deserted and deserted palace, which seemed dead except for certain special areas, the Xiangguo Mansion where Dong Zhuo was located was much livelier. Although it was quite close to the palace, it did not make the two places feel any different.
Fusion, on the contrary, makes the contrast of "ice and fire" more obvious.
"Is the imperial power declining..." Li Shushi, who was riding on Claw Huang, felt this extreme contrast and couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"Li Zhoumu, is there anything you want to say?" Li Jue, who was not far from Li Shushi, had very sensitive ears.
"...It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what it will be like in Hexi and even the Western Regions, and I'm somewhat looking forward to it."
Although he was thinking about the affairs of the imperial palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion, such words were obviously not suitable to be spoken out, so in desperation, Li Shushi had to find an excuse. However, because the goal of his trip was indeed the Western Region, it didn't count.
Outrageous.
"So that's it. Speaking of which, Jue followed Mr. Xiangguo, who was the captain of Wuji at that time, and went to the Western Region of Hexi Province. However, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jue can't guarantee whether it will still be the same as what he saw that day.
,but
If Li Zhoumu is interested, Jue is willing to tell him. Mr. Zhou Mu admires Mr. Xiangguo's ability very much, so if Mr. Zhou Mu wants to reopen the Western Region Protectorate, I believe he will be able to revive the reputation of my great man.
.”
Although it was just an excuse that Li Shushi found at random, Li Jue seemed to be very interested. Not only did his face look much better, but he also seemed to talk more. Thinking of what Jia Xu had said before, it seemed that Dong Zhuojun was internally
Some people once passed the news to the Bingzhou Army through Jia Xu, and Li Shushi was able to understand the thoughts of these people to some extent.
However, we could learn a little bit about the situation in the Western Regions through Li Jue, so although this was just a topic that Li Shushi randomly raised, by the end of the conversation, Li Shushi listened with great attentiveness.
When the group of people arrived inside the Prime Minister's Mansion, both Li Jue and Li Shushi felt that they still had something to say.
It's a pity that Li Shushi can't stay in Luoyang for long, and the same is true for Li Jue. He also needs to lead his troops out, but he doesn't know whether to go out to harass the coalition forces or do some business such as touching the gold captain. Otherwise, the two of them can borrow
This is a good exchange.
"To be honest, I am very surprised that you can come this time, although personally I am looking forward to you very much."
As soon as they met, Dong Zhuo hugged Li Shushi enthusiastically. The strength like a giant bear made Li Shushi quite uncomfortable.
However, judging from Dong Zhuo's hearty laughter and slightly rude behavior, the Prime Minister should be in a good mood at this time.
Moreover, Li Shushi also noticed that Dong Zhuo was not wearing his gorgeous official uniform that marked his status as one person below ten thousand people. Instead, he was dressed in a Qiang beard, but the smooth fabric was obviously made of even
The tribute Shu brocade, which few nobles outside the Great Wall could afford. Combined with the purple fuel and exotic decorations, Dong Zhuo, who was already thick-boned, looked even more noble and wild at this moment. Obviously Dong Zhuo had done careful things for this meeting.
preparation.
Of course, Li Shushi finally decided not to complain about Dong Zhuo's improved taste after spending some time in Luoyang.
Although this seems to Li Shushi to be very unscientific.
"You know who I am. Since I can get benefits, I have to work hard. Bingzhou is not as good as the capital, but I am very poor."
"If you had been Liangzhou Mu, maybe I would have considered becoming a businessman, Mr. Dong. You know, when my father bought me the Full Moon Wine Festival, I was just planning on it. Maybe I can have as much money now.
It’s about Bai Gui’s family wealth, what do you think?”
"No, I think you will definitely sell the items you sell along the way in exchange for food and drinks to share with your friends."
"Hahahaha! It's indeed possible. But I, Dong Zhongying, have never been a businessman who spends every penny. So for me, if I don't do it, I will do it. If I do, I must do a big deal, a big deal that will surprise everyone!
"
"But the sage Xunzi once said: 'If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't reach the rivers and seas.' I am just a mortal and don't have as big a mind as Dong Gong, so I can only listen to the teachings of sages and learn.
Earthworms are diligently exploiting the small profits in front of them, and strive to accumulate them into a fairly rich foundation."
"Yes, yes, you are really 'adding up a little makes a lot'. Is Cai Zhonglang's daughter at your place now? The family obviously has an outstanding wife like Su Yu, and there is also a daughter from the Zhen family who is about to get married, but now she has
Having brought such an outstanding girl home, even the old boss will envy you~ It's a pity that I don't have this blessing."
"There is nothing we can do. Who told me that I can't bear the good daughter of my great man being humiliated by barbarians?"
"You seem to have quite a few 'barbarians' under your command..."
"If the Hu people are willing to know etiquette and keep their word, how are they different from us Han people? If the Han people are shameless and do evil, then even using the word 'barbarian' to describe them may still be an insult to the 'barbarian'."
"Perhaps you are right, but sometimes I have to make some choices for certain purposes, even if those choices are not accepted by the world. But who said our enemies are more cunning than us? Cai Zhonglang's
Isn’t it because of the methods of those despicable people that my daughter has to become a widow before she even gets married?"
"That's true, so it's not easy for me to be able to take care of everything I see in front of me."
The two people have a common enemy, so such a small matter is just "condiment" for the two people to bicker. Dong Zhuo expressed a "solemn protest", and Li Shushi responded with a "solemn statement", although on the surface it seemed that the atmosphere was
There was a tense situation, but in fact the two of them were basically not serious about this issue.
Perhaps the only thing that made Dong Zhuo envious and hateful was why such a beautiful flower was taken away by Li Shushi again?
Of course, this also made Li Shushi somewhat guess: Maybe there was Dong Zhuo's shadow behind Xiu's massacre. This man obviously had similar needs for Cai Yan as Ma Qing did at the beginning, but although Cai Yong was grateful to Dong Zhuo for his kindness,
But she doesn't want to send her daughter to this crazy guy. It is not suitable for her age or her future. Even if Cai Yan calls herself a "widow" now, it is not too artificial.
Since the beautiful girl is not available, what about the ruined flowers? Anyway, Dong Zhuo's heavy taste has already reached the sky, and because he was deeply influenced by the Qiang Hu, as long as those Xiu Tu people are killed afterwards, Dong Zhuo will not have it.
How much of a cuckold feeling.
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo once again had to face the ending of the duck that was about to be cooked but ran away.
Although it is really frustrating for Dong Zhuo as a man, for politicians, the space for manipulation is worth looking forward to.
This meeting between Li Shushi and Dong Zhuo was a private meeting. Although Li Shushi brought dozens of soldiers, except for the two door gods Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the only ones who could be brought into the inner room were Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Hua.
Xiong, Jia Xu and Su Xiaololi, who were dressed as children, were just a few people.
Similarly, the only company around Dong Zhuo were Duan Xuan and Guo Bang, who had taken off their armor, and Li Ru, who rarely left Dong Zhuo. So the guests and hosts were all present, drinking and drinking, and it was a happy scene.
However, after three rounds of drinking and the banquet was in full swing, Dong Zhuo suddenly raised the wine glass in front of him and asked Li Shushi, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally:
"Shu Shi has also been to the palace, what do you think of my plan?"
PS: Why do we feel like we get fewer votes after asking for votes (sniffles...)? Sure enough, we are still not suitable for such an approach, so we drifted away...
PS2: Lithuania became independent on this day in 1990. The once huge empire was no longer able to maintain its territorial integrity, even on the surface. In addition, former Yugoslavia President Milosevic also died in The Hague on this day.

What have the strong Serbs gained? Perhaps only they themselves know best... As for the big earthquake, I will not comment on it. If you say it is patriotic, some people will say you are cold-blooded. If you say it is charitable, you will be accused of being a philanthropist.
He is a sinner of the nation, so it is better not to talk about it. It is better not to talk about it.
