Chapter 433: Tie Hanhan meets an honest man (3 in 1)
Chapter 433 Tiehanhan meets the ‘honest man’ (three-in-one)
"Ignore it for now. Monitor his every move and figure out what this guy wants to do before making other plans."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said this to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang nodded when he heard this and wrote down Liu Cheng's instructions.
After thinking for a while, he added: "For the rest of us, isn't my lord going to do something?"
These people come from various major forces, and have a high reputation and status in their respective strengths.
My lord is determined to conquer the world. If I can leave a good impression on these people and make friends with them at this time, I should be able to gain some unexpected rewards when the time comes."
As a confidant of Liu Cheng, Lu Yang already knew that his lord had great ambitions, and now he had a clearer understanding of his great ambitions.
He was a confidant and didn't have too many taboos, so he said these words to Liu Cheng and came up with such an idea.
Liu Cheng thought for a while after hearing this, shook his head and said: "No, I can't do this.
There is Grand Master Dong standing above me, this behavior is inappropriate."
After a pause, he said: "However, I can persuade the Grand Master to give some official positions to the envoys who come to attend the wedding after the wedding..."
After hearing this, Lu Yang thought for a while, then a smile appeared on his face, he extended his thumb and gestured to Liu Cheng, and praised loudly: "My lord, this is a good idea!"
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "It's not really a good idea. It's just some random chess pieces. If it can have some effect, it will have some effect. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. There is no loss."
…
At Dong Zhuo's house, Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo met.
According to the rules of this era, generally speaking, the married man would not come to the woman's house after the engagement.
However, these have no binding force on Liu Cheng.
He came from later generations and had no such awareness. After learning about it, he just felt that it was too pedantic.
Dong Zhuo also welcomed Liu Cheng's arrival.
As long as Kede's grandson-in-law doesn't spend the night at his house, nothing will happen. It doesn't matter if he comes every day or sees him every day.
On the one hand, it was because of Dong Zhuo's character, he was quite reckless and disdainful of many things, so he tried to challenge him.
On the other hand, Liu Cheng and his status have reached a certain height.
Moreover, Liu Cheng is under his command. At this time, there are many things that need to be communicated with each other.
Compared with these big things, these rules and the like are nothing!
"Promotion with these people?"
Dong Zhuo said this and pondered in his heart, what was the purpose and significance of Liu Cheng's words.
After doing this, what benefits can you get?
Liu Cheng nodded and said: "It's just to promote these people and give them some rewards that sound powerful and have very high positions, but they don't have any official positions with real power.
It would be best to reward them with official positions that are nominally higher than those they are loyal to.
Moreover, this time we will only reward the envoys who came, but not the masters behind them."
Saying this, Liu Cheng couldn't help but smile, and he didn't look like a good person.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He nodded and said: "After these actions, our side does appear to be grand. Moreover, our side represents orthodoxy, and the official positions awarded to us are also orthodox.
Compared to Yuan Benchu, the self-proclaimed cavalry general, he is too serious...
In this way, when these people go back, no matter how beautiful their words are, their lord, even if he doesn't show it, will probably be a little uncomfortable with them in his heart...
This discomfort may disappear quickly, but at a critical moment, this discomfort may burst out.
In addition, maybe we can get some of these people to favor us..."
Dong Zhuo smiled and analyzed the possible effects after implementing what Liu Cheng said.
Liu Cheng smiled and said: "That's what my son-in-law thinks. Anyway, if there are dates or no dates, just poke two poles. If it succeeds, forget it if it doesn't. We haven't lost anything."
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Ke De, Ke De, I really have you!
Sometimes, I don’t know how these ideas pop out of your kid’s head!
However, what you did is really to my liking.
I am so happy to marry my daughter to you!"
"My grandson-in-law feels honored to be my daughter's husband."
Liu Cheng said with a smile.
When Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo said this to the people carrying the sedan chair, the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
In Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo had a place specially prepared for guests from all walks of life. At this time, many people were already living there.
Chen Deng, who had received the news a long time ago and was urged by Tao Qian to set out early in the morning, was among the first batch of people to come.
There was cold rain falling outside, bringing with it a bit of chill.
From the big branches, some remaining yellow leaves will fall off from time to time.
The air seems cool.
In the past, on days like this, Chen Deng's heart would become extremely calm, as still as water, with some indescribable leisure and comfort.
But today, he couldn't feel this feeling at all.
His heart was not at peace at all.
What disturbed his heart was what he saw and heard after entering the pass.
Before coming to Guanzhong, Chen Deng had a certain understanding of Guanzhong and Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng.
However, this understanding is a biased understanding.
Although Chen Deng is a smart man, he has formed an inherent understanding of Dong Zhuo due to the trend of public opinion in the Guandong region, Dong Zhuo's identity, and the various things he had done in Luoyang before.
Even though I had received some information about Dong Zhuo's stay in Guanzhong, I didn't take it too seriously.
Because, according to what he knew about Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo didn't care about human life at all.
No matter what kind of policy that benefits the people, if it comes into his hands and is implemented, it will become a policy that harms the people...
He regarded many of the things he heard as Dong Zhuo's boasting...
However, after he actually came to Guanzhong, the various scenes he saw overturned everything he had thought before.
Let him feel a strong shock in his heart!
Is this what he thinks is Guanzhong, a place where people are living in dire straits?
This is what he thought was the extremely dilapidated Guanzhong under Dong Zhuo's brutal rule?!
This is obviously a more stable and vibrant place than Xuzhou!
Although many places in Guanzhong, which has just begun to be built, are not as good as Xuzhou, there is some spirit here that Xuzhou does not have.
Chen Deng was fascinated and shocked by these spirits.
Chen Deng felt that in the next three or two years, Guanzhong will surpass Xuzhou!
Before arriving in Guanzhong, if someone had said these words to him, he would have smiled and said nothing, and in his heart he would have classified this person into the ranks of dog thieves who are devoted to Dong's thieves.
But now, with such thoughts, he can no longer rise.
Because, if he really still has this idea, he first needs to classify himself into the ranks of Dong thieves...
He also asked people in Guanzhong many things, trying to figure things out and what was going on.
After some questioning, the news he received made him even more uneasy.
Because after some questioning, many things pointed to one person.
This person is the Liu thief Liu Huangshu!
Guanzhong can become what it is now, this person deserves the most credit!
It can be said that without this person, Guanzhong would never be in the state it is now!
This result made Chen Deng feel even more uneasy.
I originally thought that Uncle Liu Cheng and Emperor Liu were only good at fighting, but they didn't expect to be so talented in other things.
For a moment, Chen Deng's mood was extremely complicated.
He was wondering if without Liu Cheng, Guanzhong would be in ruins and chaos, which would be more conducive to Dong Zhuo's downfall.
Liu Cheng's move was equivalent to helping Dong Zhuo a lot.
I also feel that this is an act of countless living people and deserves praise...
I can’t tell the difference between right and wrong...
In the past, Chen Deng felt that he knew enough about Uncle Liu Huang.
But now, after coming to Guanzhong, he found that he didn't know Uncle Liu Huang well enough at all.
"What kind of person is this?"
Chen Deng looked at the falling yellow leaves outside the window, felt the cold wind, and murmured to himself.
Not only Chen Deng, but also many envoys who came to Guanzhong to attend Liu Cheng's wedding with many purposes were disturbed in their hearts and became particularly uneasy.
And these are not what Dong Zhuo, Liu Cheng and others deliberately showed, they are just the normal state of Guanzhong...
In the house, Cao Ren sat cross-legged and carefully wiped the knife in his hand with a cloth.
What he saw and heard after arriving in Guanzhong shocked him a lot and overturned many of his perceptions.
However, this did not prevent him from making up his mind to kill Liu Cheng!
Cao Ren hasn't started spreading rumors yet.
It's not that he forgot, but since they stepped into the pass, they were watched closely by Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
Until now, powerful soldiers and horses were still displayed outside their accommodation, giving him no chance to spread rumors.
The residence here seems to be quite lively. This is because people representing different forces are interacting here and want to get some extra gains.
This is also an important reason why they came to attend Liu Cheng's wedding this time.
However, these things have nothing to do with Cao Ren.
He had only one purpose, and that was to kill Liu Cheng.
Apart from this, the rest has nothing to do with him.
He sat here, silently wiping the knife in his hand, over and over again.
Silence and silence.
This action continued until dark and then stopped.
He put the knife back into its sheath, having an idea in his mind and making up his mind.
Really unable to find a chance, he assassinated the traitor on the day Liu Cheng got married!
Let his wedding turn into a funeral!
Let Dong Zhuo's thief's granddaughter and Cai Yong's daughter become widows before they become real women!
At other times, Dong Zhuo can send a large number of elite soldiers and horses to confine himself and others here, but when it comes to getting married, this cannot be done.
He and others, but the guests who came to attend the wedding of Liu Chenggou Thief, could not restrict themselves and others at that time.
On that day, I will be able to meet the dog thief Liu Cheng and have a chance to take action!
That day is destined to be a day that will make you famous forever and shock the world!
That day, the Cao family will reappear in the eyes of the world!
His brother dared to assassinate the Dong thief, and he, Cao Ren, dared to avenge his brother and assassinate the Liu thief who suppressed everyone in the world and did not dare to raise their heads!
There are no cowards in the Cao family!!
After making up his mind, Cao Ren put on his clothes and went to sleep.
Worried that someone would discover something unusual, he alerted the snake in advance and prepared the dog thief Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng. The next day, Cao Ren adjusted his mentality and walked out of the door to chat with the other envoys.
Make yourself unique and stand out.
After learning that Kuai Liang, Dong Zhao and others were the envoys of Liu Biao and Yuan Shao respectively, he deliberately had more conversations with these people.
After all, his brother went to join these people.
During this conversation, he and Yuan Shao's envoy Dong Zhao spoke the most.
The main reason is that Kuai Liang, Liu Biao's envoy, likes to chat with the envoys of people with powerful backgrounds. He doesn't pay much attention to envoys like him who come under the banner of a small county magistrate.
After all, the gap between the magistrate of a small county and the governor of a large state is too huge, and there is a corresponding gap between the respective envoys.
Cao Ren spoke twice and saw that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, so he stopped being hot-tempered and cold-hearted.
He originally chatted with others in order not to make himself appear conspicuous. If this is the case, why did he have to chat with you Kuai Liang?
Is it okay to chat differently with others?
Unlike Kuai Liang, the envoys sent by Yuan Benchu were much more pleasing to the eye.
He had a simple and honest smile on his chubby face. He smiled brightly at everyone and was easy to talk to.
When talking to others, he is very friendly and homely, without any airs.
Moreover, he is not like Kuai Liang, who only talks to people with strong backgrounds, he treats everyone equally.
Sometimes, they even talk to envoys who have little connections.
Under any circumstances, Cao Ren naturally talked a lot with Dong Zhao.
And felt very comfortable talking to Dong Zhao.
This fat guy who seems to be a little slow to react is very lovable.
His purpose this time was not to be exposed at all. If he dealt with other smart people a lot and talked a lot, he might be exposed.
However, there is no need to worry when talking with people like Dong Zhao.
During the discussion, I was the only one who tried to trick him, and even half of his words were not tricked out of me...
Fortunately, this time, the relatively honest and honest Dong Zhao is here. Otherwise, I would have been a bit miserable this time. This Dong Zhao is really my lucky star.
Lying in bed at night, Cao Ren thought about his experiences in the past few days, with a smile on his face and some happiness in his heart.
Still, honest people are rare.
As he thought this way, Dong Zhao's honest and honest look appeared in front of him, labeling Dong Zhao an honest man and a good person...
In the night, lights were burning in Dong Zhao's room. Dong Zhao had not slept yet, and his trademark honest smile was still on his fat face.
Especially after thinking of Zhang Ren who treated him as a fool, the smile on his face became more and more honest.
Originally, I just had some casual conversations with these people, but I didn't expect it, and I actually got such a big gain!
Tiehanhan, who regarded himself as Hanhan, actually wanted to assassinate the emperor's uncle!
Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise, there might have been a lot of trouble!
Dong Zhao thought this way, feeling a little troubled in his heart.
The main thing is to think about how to send this valuable news to Uncle Liu without leaving any trace, so that Uncle Liu can know about it and take precautions.
The defense outside was very tight, and there was no one I knew.
At this time, if I send someone out, it is very likely that I will alert the enemy and be exposed.
Not only will his thoughts be exposed, but he will also expose the relationship between himself and Uncle Liu Huang that no one can know...
In five days, it will be Uncle Liu Huang's big day.
If he couldn't get there and pass the news he had unintentionally tricked out to Uncle Liu Huang, it would be in vain...
Dong Zhao was thinking about this matter for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a good solution...
The next morning, Cao Ren talked with the naive Dong Zhao and Dong Gongren again, and his mood became better...
Things took a turn for the better in the afternoon.
Some soldiers brought drinks and other supplies to the people who came to congratulate them.
Many soldiers entered this area and had some contact with these people.
The members of the envoy group would naturally not miss this opportunity to chat with these soldiers and learn about the situation outside.
Dong Zhao, a person who likes to chat with people and has something on his mind, will naturally not miss this opportunity.
After having some conversations with the two soldiers, a soldier came to Dong Zhao.
He whispered: "Gong Ren, do you still remember me?"
Dong Zhao's heart moved when he heard this, but he looked at this man with a calm face and found that this soldier looked very familiar.
"Uncle Liu Huang."
The soldier softly uttered three words.
Dong Zhao's mind lit up and he suddenly thought about it.
This soldier is one of Uncle Liu’s personal guards!
I had seen this soldier several times before when I met the emperor's uncle in Yizhou.
Dong Zhao said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. The emperor is getting married. He is so busy and he still comes to entertain us. It's a small thing. You can get some wine to warm yourself up..."
As he said this, he put a handful of copper coins into the soldier's hand.
Then he continued to chat with the soldier for a few words.
Dong Zhao's act of tipping the soldier in the name of a reward was not conspicuous.
Because, many people have chosen to do this.
The main reason is that I want to find out more outside news from these soldiers.
Of course, if you have money, you will be easier to talk to. This is an extremely common method...
The soldiers who came to deliver supplies left, and the envoys were not quiet. Many of them were talking to each other about things and exchanging some news they had just received.
Cao Ren talked with others for a while, and when he saw that there was no one else around Dong Zhao, he came over to talk to Dong Zhao.
Dong Zhao is still as kind and talkative as ever. There is a bit of naivety in his kindness and talkativeness...
…
Liu Cheng looked at the note sent by the soldiers and couldn't help but smile.
He naturally knew about Dong Zhao coming as Yuan Shao's envoy, and he also knew Dong Zhao's abilities.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, and knowing that there was someone with evil intentions like Cao Ren among the envoys, Liu Cheng would naturally send someone over to meet with Dong Zhao.
Let's see if we can get some unexpected gains from Dong Zhao.
Now, the harvest has really come.
Dong Gongren really did not disappoint himself.
Regarding Cao Ren's purpose, Liu Cheng had made some guesses before and felt that the person coming was evil.
Now through Dong Zhao, it has been confirmed.
"I thought Xiahou Dun might do this, but I didn't expect that it would be you, Cao Ren, who came..."
Liu Cheng spoke up and whispered.
…
"Lord, Cao Ren's purpose of coming has been confirmed."
That night, Lu Yang came all the way to Liu Cheng and reported the situation to Liu Cheng.
"speak."
Liu Cheng spoke up, without first telling Lu Yang the news from Dong Zhao.
"As my lord had expected, Cao Ren came here just to assassinate you, my lord.
According to his original plan, he would spread rumors in Guanzhong, saying that my lord, you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and you will not stay under Dong Zhuo for a long time. All the things he did at this time and before were all to gain trust and trust in front of Grand Master Dong.
strength.
When the time is right, I will take action against Grand Master Dong..."
Lu Yang quickly told Liu Cheng the news he knew.
His face looked a little unnatural.
When Liu Cheng listened to Lu Yang's report, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He felt very proud of his previous actions in creating Jinyiwei.
Under Lu Yang's careful development, today's Jinyiwei has begun to take shape and has the shadow of monitoring the world.
There has been considerable development in obtaining information.
"Uncle Emperor, this thief has sinister intentions. He actually wants to spread such a message. He deserves to be damned.
It is better to send troops to capture him and deal with him first to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future..."
Lu Yang looked at Liu Cheng's suggestion.
To be honest, when he first received the news, Lu Yang immediately panicked and realized the seriousness of the matter.
If Cao Ren simply wanted to assassinate the emperor's uncle, he wouldn't be too worried.
Under the current circumstances, it is basically impossible to successfully assassinate the emperor's uncle.
Assassination is all about surprise.
He has already been discovered and assassinated!
However, spreading rumors is really terrifying and disgusting.
This is simply a seven-inch punch!
It was also because of this that Lu Yang hurried over as soon as he got the news.
After he finished speaking, he found that his lord, after hearing what he said, not only did not panic at all, but also had a smile on his face.
"Lord, this...could it be that you already knew about this?"
