Chapter 788 The tongue is like a reed, Dong Zhuo is stunned
In the big tent.
Dong Zhuo looked puzzled and glanced sideways at Li Ru, who was standing next to him. The two of them strode outside the account.
The two men suddenly raised their heads and looked outside the camp. They saw Zhang Liang, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu standing as straight as swords outside the camp. The soldiers had their guns and crossbows drawn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"General, this person has bad intentions. He dares to go to our Mongolian camp with only two guards. If he is not seeking death, he is confident."
"General, you might as well let them enter the big tent and talk about it to see what their intentions are."
Dong Zhuo nodded upon hearing this, and felt that Li Ru's words were reasonable. This was a Mongolian camp, and there were only three people on the other side. He was not worried at all about what tricks Zhang Liang and the others were playing.
"Li Ru, order the soldiers to lead them into the tent."
Dong Zhuo's heroic voice sounded, and he turned around and entered the tent with his sleeves fluttered. Li Ru stepped forward quickly and waved for the soldiers to let them go. Zhang Liang led Zhao Yun and General Lu Bu towards the tent with a calm expression.
Before entering the account.
The Mongolian soldiers told Zhao Yun that Lu Bu and the two wanted to leave all their swords and weapons outside the account. The two men did not hesitate at all and handed the weapons to the Mongolian soldiers.
Entering the big tent, Dong Zhuo was sitting at the top with a calm expression. Zhang Liang was about to speak when he heard a powerful voice.
"The Chu army killed my beloved general, and you dared to enter the Sajia army camp. You are so audacious. Aren't you afraid that the Sajia family will kill you in front of the three armies?"
"General Dong's words are serious. If the general really wanted to kill us, why would he let us enter the big tent? As long as the general gave the order just outside the military camp, the three of us would have been stabbed to death by arrows in an instant."
"The two armies are fighting and the envoys will not be killed. General Dong is the commander-in-chief of an army and is in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops. He will not attack us three unarmed people."
Zhang Liang was fearless, calm and calm, his gentle voice sounded, and his eyes stayed on Dong Zhuo.
"General, whether to kill or to stay, let's hear why they came."
Li Ru warned, Dong Zhuo looked disgusted, waved his sleeves and motioned for Zhang Liang to sit down, his eyes passing over Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.
"My Majesty, Zhang Liang, the military advisor of the State of Chu, has come to the general's camp specifically to deliver good news to the general."
Zhang Liang sat down, raised his fist and saluted, with a slight smile on his face, and a loud voice sounded.
"good news?"
"What's the joy?"
"The Sa family is saddened by the loss of their beloved general, but you come to congratulate him, which really offends me!"
"Come here, drag these three bastards down and chop them down!"
Dong Zhuo was furious and slapped the wooden table in front of him with his palm. His terrifying face was as green as a green, like an angry lion.
During the conversation.
Ten soldiers rushed out of the tent. Their scimitars were unsheathed and their sharp edges were exposed. However, they were stopped by Zhao Yun and Lu Bu just a few steps forward.
"Shuzi, you dare to act so arrogantly in the Sa family tent, you really don't know how to live or die."
Seeing the confrontation between Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the soldiers, a tense atmosphere instantly filled the air. Dong Zhuo's figure suddenly rose up, raised his hand to seize the weapons and broadsword on the side, and approached the three of them with a murderous look.
"It is rumored that General Dong is the man most likely to achieve great things among the Mongolian army. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a rude, savage, and mindless man."
"It seems that my emperor's evaluation of the general is a bit exaggerated. He actually wants to cooperate with the general. He really doesn't understand people."
Zhang Liang looked as if the mountain was collapsing in front of him without changing his expression. A powerful and loud voice sounded. Dong Zhuo was about to approach, but was stopped by Li Ru on the side.
"General, don't be angry!"
"Those who achieve great things should pay attention to small details and listen to what they have to say."
Li Ru stopped the furious Dong Zhuo, looked sideways and waved, and saw ten soldiers put away their scimitars, stood up and exited the tent.
"Haha~"
"The general has such advisers to help him, why can't he become the overlord in these troubled times?"
Zhang Liang looked at Li Ru, his slender eyes flashed with light, and his voice was full of approval.
"Your Excellency just mentioned that Emperor Chu wants to cooperate with the general. I hope you will speak frankly."
Li Ru dragged Dong Zhuo to sit down and asked questions, his eyes resting on Zhang Liang. At this time, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun had already retreated behind Zhang Liang.
"My emperor proposed the strategy of joining forces and wanted to establish a good relationship with the general."
"The general led his army into the land of the Western Jin Dynasty. It is self-evident that he came here, but now he has suffered heavy losses from our army, and everything the general expected has not been realized."
"However, if the general agrees to establish an alliance with my emperor, swallow up the Western Jin Dynasty and the Liang Empire in one fell swoop, and all the south of the East China Sea belong to Chu, the general will gain priceless wealth. Not everyone will be happy in this way."
Zhang Liang spoke, and the anger on Dong Zhuo's face disappeared. He glanced sideways at Li Ru and said, "Everyone in the world knows that the land of Chu is the richest, with countless money, beautiful women, and countless cities. Why should I, the general, settle for second best?"
Abandoning the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of the Chu Kingdom, we went to seize the lands of the Western Jin Dynasty and Daliang."
"The general's words are wrong. The general knows how our Chu troops will fare in today's battle."
"By uniting with Chu to implement the strategy of alliance, the general can gain the wealth of both countries. If he insists on attacking Chu with the two countries, he may end up in vain, losing troops and generals, and returning empty-handed."
"My emperor's unstoppable rule to the south of the East China Sea is unstoppable. The general is the commander-in-chief of the fifth-grade empire. The general of the vast world will definitely have great achievements. How can he be willing to bury the bones of his elite soldiers and generals here."
"And the general should understand that the Mongolian cavalry and Wu Chu are united. They are a strong alliance and will definitely sweep everything."
Zhang Liang was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was as loud as a bell. His eyes always stayed on Dong Zhuo and Li Ru. It was obvious that they had been shaken at this time.
Hear the sound.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were deep in thought. After a while, Li Ru asked: "According to your words, if we capture Daliang and the Western Jin Dynasty, what can my general gain?"
"Haha~"
"The territory of Chu will be returned to me, and the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty will definitely give the wealth that the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty promised to the general."
"Five million taels of gold and silver each, a thousand beauties, a thousand fine horses, jade, silk, and countless fine wines."
The wealth Zhang Liang proposed was not much, but he knew that the territorial value of the Western Jin Dynasty and Liang Dynasty could not be measured in terms of money. Why not give Dong Zhuo such wealth in exchange for Chu's unification of the south of the East China Sea?
"Your Majesty's wishful thinking is really great. The land of two countries has given the Sa family such wealth. Could it be that the Emperor of Chu thought that the Sa family were beggars."
Dong Zhuo had an angry look on his face, a cold voice sounded, and he clenched his fists to suppress the anger that was about to burst out in his body.
"General, what do you think? This is all real money, much more real than the empty promise the king of the Western Jin Dynasty gave to the general."
"The general is really sure that he can get the blank check issued by the king of the Western Jin Dynasty. My emperor has stationed one million troops in Jiangling City and one hundred thousand troops in Leling City. The generals who lead the army are powerful, far more powerful than the Chu generals who are fighting on the battlefield today.
"
A cunning light flickered in Zhang Liang's deep eyes. It was obvious that he had the upper hand at this moment. Although Dong Zhuo was as stable as Mount Tai, his heart was filled with turmoil and turbulence.
"Garrison one million troops and raise one hundred thousand troops?"
Dong Zhuo was horrified and whispered secretly, his thoughts racing in his mind. Emperor Chu's deployment had obviously made him feel the crisis. (To be continued)
