Before he settled in Licheng, Liu Jian had Zhang Rang brought to him from Yecheng.
Anyway, he is just training troops in Qingzhou for the time being, and has no plans to send troops to destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. It would be a good idea to use this time to stir up trouble in other parts of the Han Dynasty.
Anyway, Liu Jian cannot be idle.
Now in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo has joined forces with Lu Qiang, and if nothing else happens, Lu Qiang should submit to Dong Zhuo the "list of eunuchs' power in the Han Dynasty" that he knows.
But Liu Jian estimated that the list of eunuch powers that Lu Qiang knew was incomplete.
After all, the people who initially set out to arrange arrangements in the various states and counties of the Han Dynasty were all ordinary servants, and Lu Qiang did not interfere much.
Zhang Rang was the one who knew best about the "talent legacy" left by eunuchs in various states and counties.
"It's all done, it must be all done!"
Everyone just gets what they need.
No wonder Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty liked Zhang Rang. This Zhongchang Shi was really adaptable to changes and was as meticulous as dust. He was truly an extraordinary person.
Zhang Rang said: "From now on, I will be Liu Jin, one of the Liu family in Zhuo County."
Liu Jian and Zhao Yun had a good fight, sweating profusely, then stuck the ring-headed sword on the ground, laughed loudly and said: "It's so good!"
Zhao Yun smiled, cupped his hand to Liu Jian, and said, "Your sword skills have become more and more proficient. Yun is almost unable to withstand the enemy today."
Over the years, Liu Jian has never fallen behind in terms of martial arts. When Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were around, he would practice with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. Later, when he came to the capital, he would take time to practice with Yu Ze and Li Damu.
, now that there are more and more people who are good at fighting around him, he alternately fights with these people.
Zhang Rang saluted and said, "Thank you so much, envoy, for your protection."
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "Old slave understands, understands...Now the old slave has lost everything, even his name and identity. King Chenliu is not the former emperor. He cannot give the old slave power, and the old slave cannot cling to King Chenliu."
Yes, this old slave’s power, as well as his name and identity, are all given by the lord. In the world now, only the lord can give me everything I need while I’m alive.”
"I have become familiar with the list on this silk over the years. Among them are Zhang's former officials, as well as fellow countrymen of Zhao Zhong, Bi Lan, Guo Sheng and several of my colleagues."
"Liu Jin?"
Know that at this moment, call yourself "Lord"!
Others in Jizhou called him lord, and he also asked himself to call him lord, but he called him lord in a decent manner and showed great respect.
"ah?"
The Shi Changshi and the noble clans of the world have been fighting for too long, and the hatred between each other has reached an unending level. No one can resolve the grievances and entanglements between them.
Liu Jian came to the courtyard, called Zhao Yun over, and then started sparring with him.
Liu Jian said casually: "It's up to you. I'll find a way to get you a branch status later. It's impossible for you to become a descendant of the clan among the Liu family in Zhuo County, but you can just make up a side branch and polish it up.
It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"But I can tell you that the channels through which the news can be leaked are all under my control. The people who know that you are still alive are all under my command. I will be responsible for taking care of their mouths. But if you put your own
If your identity is leaked, don’t blame me for killing you immediately!”
Zhang Rang was shocked when he heard this: "You want me to be a member of the Liu family?"
"Don't worry, I didn't protect you in vain. I will be of use to you in the future."
"If you want to live, you have to give up your original identity and everything you had before... Of course, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I will send your head to Luoyang, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Yuan Wei
, I think I would rather see your head!"
Liu Jian narrowed his eyes: "Your identity is so special, I don't worry about assigning you a false identity from another clan. Only by arranging you in my clan can I protect you to the greatest extent and conceal your identity."
identity,"
"After all, this name is what you need to use in the future. Just give it to yourself. Liu Da, Liu Er, Liu San, Liu Zhang, Liu Qi, Liu Biao, Liu Cong, Liu Jin are whatever you want. Anyway, whoever is in our clan
As long as the person is named Liu, it will be fine."
Zhang Rang looked at the leaving figure of the envoy and felt a little absent-minded for a moment. His chest seemed to have been emptied, and for a moment it was actually blocked and felt very uncomfortable.
Of course, as his status grew higher, these subordinates began to understand the importance of fighting against him. Even Liu Bei began to show mercy and give way to Liu Jian.
But you ask Zhang Rang, is he afraid of death?
His answer is definitely - I'm afraid of death!
Zhang Rang smiled awkwardly: "It's over, it's over..."
Zhang Rang...or Liu Jin, it should be said, seemed a little hesitant when he heard this: "It's just that King Chenliu and Queen recognize this old slave..."
Of course, it wasn't because Dong Zhuo was recruiting them that they would all lean towards him. After all, Dong Zhuo and them were not from the same group.
But anyone with a brain knows that once the Jinwen scholars gain power in the court, their old eunuchs will not end well.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It's not flattery, it's actually my sincere words."
When Zhang Rang heard Liu Jian say this name, his spirits suddenly lifted.
Liu Jian handed the scarf back to the attendant and said, "From now on, you will be a member of my Liu family in Zhuo County."
Let me ask, if he continues to be Zhang Rang... how will the world treat garbage?
The name of Shi Changshi can no longer gain a foothold in this world.
As for whether the old eunuchs in various states and counties will submit to Dong Zhuo... the answer is almost inevitable.
Anyway, the Shi Changshi, who once played an important role on the political stage of the Han Dynasty, has now been thrown into the garbage heap of history along with He Jin, and can no longer make any waves.
After a while, I saw Liu Jian let out a long sigh.
The messenger received Liu Jian's handwritten letter, said goodbye and left.
Liu Jian stood up, called in through the door a waiting envoy from Jizhou, handed him the silk list written by Zhang Rang, and asked him to go to Luoyang and give the list to Dong Zhuo.
"The name Liu Jin is very good! When five colors meet, its price is as good as gold. It's very good, very good!"
Liu Jin said respectfully: "Yes, yes, I will remember my master's order."
With this list and the emperor's support, Dong Zhuo can use the fastest speed to conquer the forces that the Shi Changshi has arranged in Kanto for many years.
Liu Jian gave him a rare smile: "Back then, you dominated the sky in Luoyang and had an unparalleled reputation because the emperor trusted you. All your powers were given to you by the emperor, but now..."
Zhang Rang asked again: "Excuse me, my lord, by what name do you plan to let this old slave live in the world?"
"These people now hold important positions in various states and counties. They are all close confidants of our Standing Committee, and they are dedicated to serving His Majesty!"
Liu Jian laughed loudly: "You are indeed a smart man. No wonder the late emperor wanted to call you grandpa. It is indeed extraordinary."
Liu Jian couldn't help but secretly praise him.
Amid the fear of death and nostalgia for power, Zhang Rang had no choice at all.
Seeing Zhang Rang stunned, Liu Jian ignored him. He stretched, picked up the Huanshou knife beside him, and walked quickly outside.
"As long as the envoy can save my life and is willing to abandon my current identity and name, everything will be subject to the envoy's arrangement!"
Liu Jian nodded slowly and said: "Zhongchang Shi, from now on, you must know that the name Zhang Rang will disappear from this world. The world can no longer tolerate you, the Shichang Shi."
Liu Jian looked at Zhang Rang helplessly, really not knowing what to say.
Through fighting against different fierce generals, Liu Jian's skills have also improved. His current martial arts skills are basically on par with Liu Bei's, and he is even a head above Liu Bei's bow skills.
Lu Qiang was a eunuch, and he was also the eunuch with the best character. Rather than submitting to Dong Zhuo in order to fight against the nobles, the old subordinates of Shi Changshi were not so much saying that they relied on Lu Qiang in the name of submitting to Dong Zhuo.
"King Chenliu is less than five years old and the queen is ten years old. Things that should be forgotten will naturally be forgotten as time goes by. Even if they can't forget, I will find a way to help them forget. Just do what you should do."
He hurriedly followed Liu Jian out.
As far as this era is concerned, it would be extraordinary to be able to match Liu Bei's martial arts skills.
The attendant on the side handed over a square towel. Liu Jian wiped his head and looked at Zhang Rang.
There are so many other names to call me, but I just like to call him this name.
Are you willing to ask Zhang Rang?
His answer was definitely unwillingness.
Liu Jian said calmly: "Stick to your old job and be responsible for serving King Chenliu and the Queen. I will be responsible for building a palace for King Chenliu in Yecheng, and you will serve them as King Chenliu's attendant."
"Yes, yes! The old slave will definitely obey the master's words... But master, what should the old slave do under the master in the future?"
"Are you in a daze?"
Lu Qiang should have provided Dong Zhuo with part of his former eunuch corps, but it would never be as complete as what Zhang Rang provided.
Whether it's because of the Yuan family's struggle for power, the political correctness of the gentry, or something else...
Being able to tie with Liu Bei proves that Liu Jian is also first-rate.
Anyway, if you have time to train yourself, take the time to train yourself.
But even so, this kind of training can still make Liu Jian make a lot of progress.
"When did you learn to speak flattery?"
Dong Zhuo now has financial and military power in Luoyang City, but he has no local supporting forces in Guandong.
But if there is Lu Qiang as the middleman, the effect will be greatly different.
Zhang Rang naturally understood his current situation.
The eunuchs left by the late emperor have been wiped out by all the people in Luoyang.
"Okay, you can call me whatever you want. It seems that you have some kind of fate with this name."
Zhang Rang nodded vigorously, patted his chest and promised Liu Jian: "Now my life is in the hands of the envoy, how dare I talk nonsense?"
After all, Liu Bei was also a famous horse emperor in history. He spent his whole life in the army and had extremely rich experience in battle. Although he was not as good as Guan, Zhang and Zhao, he was by no means a huge difference.
It took a while for Zhang Rang to react.
Liu Jin did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Liu Jian. He whispered: "I dare to ask my lord, you let the old slave serve King Chenliu and the Queen... King Chenliu is fine, and Queen Tang should be sent back to them."
Luoyang? After all, that Highness is the emperor’s first wife..."
"Do you think I didn't expect it?" Liu Jian said coldly: "The problem is, Dong Zhuo won't let me."
"Dong Zhuo won't give in?"
Liu Jin just thought about it briefly, and then he suddenly realized what Dong Zhuo was up to.
