Chapter 176 On How to Prevent Dong Zhuo from Sending Himself a Woman
On the south bank of Mengjin Ferry, Liu Cheng and others have returned here by boat.
After Liu Cheng returned, his prestige here suddenly soared!
Here on the South Bank, no matter who led these soldiers before, they all respected Liu Cheng extremely!
After all, the previous battle was really exciting!
More importantly, Uncle Liu personally boarded a boat and crossed the river to attack more than 20,000 enemy soldiers for the sake of more than a hundred trapped auxiliary soldiers. What he revealed was shocking.
Even if you are not convinced!
As soldiers, who among them would not want to follow such a commander?
Who doesn't want to have his commander not give up on him when he is surrounded by the enemy, but lead his troops to rescue him?
Uncle Liu Huang was able to do this for more than a hundred besieged auxiliary soldiers. There is no doubt that if the time comes and he and others are really besieged by the enemy in the future, Uncle Liu Huang will not give up on himself and others.
…
After this incident, whether it was Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, Hao Meng or Zhang Xiu, there was no one who did not admire Liu Cheng...
Faced with such a situation, Liu Cheng, who had always wanted to gain as much military morale as possible and wanted to subdue Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, was naturally extremely happy and joyful.
This time he came to Hedong to fight against the Baibo bandits. What he gained was really great!
However, while he was happy, Liu Cheng also had some minor worries caused by the successive big wins.
These worries mainly come from Dong Zhuo's possible reward for himself in the future.
This time, if I was not careful and fought the battle so beautifully, Dong Zhuo would definitely reward me.
At this time, he had already become the Marquis of Gaoting, Zhendong Zhonglang General, and his only younger brother also became the Marquis of Bishui Ting at a very young age.
Among the people under Dong Zhuo, in terms of the army, the highest one is Zhonglang General. In other words, it is no longer easy for Liu Cheng to rise higher.
If all things like official positions are excluded, Dong Zhuo will not have much to give to himself.
It goes without saying that money is a given.
According to Dong Zhuo's temper and the contribution he has made this time, it must not be justified if it is just money.
The matter of accepting him as his adopted son had already been completely blocked by him when they first met. Even if Dong Zhuo still had this intention, he would definitely not have any idea in this regard.
After ruling out all of these, one possibility was highlighted.
That is marriage!
No matter how well Liu Cheng fought at this time, how great his achievements were, or how quickly his status rose, they could not hide the fact that he was still a single man on the surface.
Liu Cheng felt that if things went wrong this time, Dong Zhuo would make plans in this regard.
This is really not because he is too narcissistic, but because he fought really beautifully this time.
The rewards and official positions that I deserved were almost achieved before.
Moreover, contract marriage is the most common and also the most effective way to win over people at this time.
Once a marriage is established, one can develop from an outsider to one's own.
Under such circumstances, Liu Cheng couldn't help but think too much.
Not to mention, there are vague rumors in Luoyang that Dong Zhuo intends to marry his granddaughter to him...
In fact, if Liu Cheng did not have the ambition to dominate the world, did not face such troubled times, and did not have the intention to kill Dong Zhuo for his righteousness, then there would be nothing bad for Liu Cheng to become relatives with Dong Zhuo.
However, he had decided to kill Dong Zhuo a long time ago. Under such circumstances, it would be a bit uncomfortable to marry the woman who had a very close relationship with Dong Zhuo...
It is definitely not Liu Cheng's style to sit back and wait for death. What he likes to do most is to take precautions before they happen.
After being aware of this possible incident, Liu Cheng naturally made some arrangements to avoid this incident as much as possible.
It is not that Liu Cheng has no way to deal with this possible incident.
After all, he is just a single person on the surface, not really a single person.
In fact, he had already made a private life-long commitment to Cai Yan, and had secretly had sex with Chen Cang several times.
Cai Yan's fiancé has been raped with a knife by Niu Fu, a being who can be called his lucky star.
Then Liu Cheng already knew about a series of things that happened in Luoyang.
Including Cai Yong, his future father-in-law, dissolving the marriage in front of Dong Zhuo and Wei Zhongdao's head, and many things that happened after that.
After all, there is a very considerate person like Cai Yan in Luoyang.
In addition, the letters written by Cai Yong himself, indicating that he wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, are still in Liu Cheng's place and are well preserved.
As for Liu Cheng, after seeing the handwritten letter sent by Cai Yong, he was surprised and sighed, and immediately wrote a reply and agreed to the matter.
But because he was in the army, and after replying to Cai Yong, before he could do anything more, he received Dong Zhuo's emergency military order, and then he rushed all the way to Mengjindu and launched a series of events.
fighting.
Now that I finally have some free time, it’s time to do something and make my relationship with Cai Yan public!
After the relationship was announced, it was best for Dong Zhuo not to marry his relatives. If it was true, then with such a thing in front, Dong Zhuo would be able to stop his mouth and have a particularly good one.
, reason for evasion...
Liu Cheng quickly made up his mind about this matter and immediately went to find Lu Yang.
After talking to Lu Yang, it didn't take long for Lu Yang to lead fifty soldiers from Mengjin to the road at high speed.
At this time, only an hour had passed since Liu Cheng sent the envoy to report the victory to Luoyang.
After watching Lu Yang and his party leave, Liu Cheng's eyes fell on Zhang Liao's battle flag again.
Looking at Zhang Liao's battle flag, Liu Cheng showed some thoughts on his face.
The main thing I am thinking about is the relationship between myself and Zhang Liao.
With this time away from Lu Bu, this contact in Mengjin, and a series of things that happened in the process, the relationship between Liu Cheng and Zhang Liao has been greatly improved.
Zhang Liao, who was influenced by Lu Bu before, had some opinions on Liu Cheng, now when he mentions Liu Cheng, his posture will unconsciously become respectful.
But these alone are not enough. After all, Zhang Liao is still Lu Bu's subordinate.
If Liu Cheng wants to get it under his command, he still needs to do some other things.
This is not easy.
First of all, Dong Zhuo must not be allowed to have any doubts about him.
Secondly, the matter must be of sufficient weight to directly tie Zhang Liao, an extremely capable general, to his side so that he will never forget or leave him in the future.
Finally, we also need to ensure that Lu Bu does not have trouble with him because of Zhang Liao's affairs...
With so many restrictions, it is obviously not easy to come up with a proper solution.
Simply, after about half an hour, Liu Cheng, who had been thinking about this matter, came up with a solution.
He withdrew his gaze from Zhang Liao's battle flag and went directly to look for Zhang Liao...
