The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Yan Zhong, who excused himself to go to the toilet, and Chen Mu, who excused himself to help him lead the way, met in a hidden corner deep in the military camp.
"A son returns to his younger brother."
"Brother Cheng Han."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Although they had corresponded for a long time, this was the first time they had seen each other since they had parted ways in Luoyang that year.
We had a great time chatting at the Huangfusong Military Camp and spent several unforgettable days.
Unexpectedly, we would meet again five years later.
"I am a younger brother, so I won't go into too much gossip. You have to be careful about Li Ru, he is by no means an ordinary person."
Yan Zhong glanced around and whispered: "The reason he came to your camp this time is to blackmail the Yuan family and force them to hand over military power. Dong Zhuo will not really impeach Yuan Shao."
Chen Mu smiled and said, "I've already guessed this, thank you so much, Brother Chenghan."
Seeing his confident look, Yan Zhong couldn't help but wonder: "Zi Gui, aren't you worried? If Dong Zhuo comes to power, Xuande may be in danger."
Chen Mu shook his head: "I'm not worried at all. I even hope that Dong Zhuo will take over."
"Why is this?"
Yan Zhong was very surprised.
Because he initially thought that Liu Bei planned to regent as a clan member.
He holds the military power and has the ability to save the enemy.
If he could assist the young emperor, he might become Huo Guang in the future.
But Dong Zhuo is a stumbling block right now. If you don't want to get rid of him, you still want him to grow stronger. Isn't this harming yourself?
Chen Mu laughed and said, "Who does Brother Chenghan think Dong Zhuo is?"
Yan Zhong thought for a moment and then slowly said: "You are an ambitious person."
"good."
Chen Mu nodded: "Dong Zhuo and his ilk are cruel by nature and will not be willing to remain subordinate to others for a long time. If he rises to power, what do you think he will do?"
Yan Zhong shook his head and said, "How could I know that?"
Chen Mu smiled slightly: "He will regard himself as Huo Guang and become a powerful minister who brings trouble to the government."
Yan Zhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "With his character, it is indeed possible."
Chen Mu continued: "That's why we want him to be more brutal. As the saying goes, if you want to destroy him, you must first expand him. It's best to let him take control of power as soon as possible. No one in Luoyang can compete with him anymore."
Yan Zhong stared at Chen Mu for a long time. After a while, he said: "Zigui, you don't want Dong Zhuo to be destroyed, you want the Han Dynasty to be destroyed."
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Does Brother Chenghan care?"
"Won't."
Yan Zhong also laughed.
His name is Zhong and his courtesy name is Chenghan.
It's a pity that he was never loyal to the Han Dynasty.
A loyal person would not suggest to a man with a heavy army that he should conquer the south.
A person who is loyal to the court will also not be involved in the wave of rebellion.
Han Sui and Ma Teng once forced him to become the leader, and finally died in anger.
Do you think he is a loyal man?
wrong.
He just didn't want to die as Han Sui and Ma Teng's puppet.
So Yan Zhong doesn't care.
A cold light appeared in Chen Mu's eyes, and he continued: "So in order to destroy the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, Brother Chenghan has to add some fierce stuff."
"Big news?"
Yan Zhong wondered: "How to do it?"
Chen Mu squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Encourage Dong Zhuo to depose the emperor!"
"hiss!"
Yan Zhong took a breath of air.
This matter.
It’s really not something ordinary people can think of.
How daring, how unscrupulous towards the imperial court, how disrespectful to the imperial power, lawless, and full of the five evils can someone think of it?
At this moment, Yan Zhong suddenly discovered that Chen Mu was essentially a more cruel person than Dong Zhuo.
Because at least Dong Zhuo hasn't done anything bad or done any evil deeds yet.
On the contrary, Chen Mu was slowly, step by step, drawing out the evil in Dong Zhuo's heart.
Dong Zhuo's evil needs to be promoted.
And Chen Mu is born evil!
He is the source of all evil in this world.
Yan Zhong seemed to have seen that if Dong Zhuo was really encouraged to depose the emperor, what would he do then?
The world is in chaos and all life is in ruins. I'm afraid it's not far away.
"My son is back."
Yan Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Um?"
"You probably have no heart anymore."
"Well..."
Chen Mu pondered for a moment and sighed: "In this world... maybe my heart has been eaten by dogs."
...
...
Liu Bei went out to see Dong Zhuo off in person.
Dong Zhuo received the answer and returned happily.
As a result, at the gate of the camp, they happened to bump into Xun He and others who were looking for Liu Bei.
Seeing Dong Zhuo and the others leaving, Xun and Chen Linfengji all frowned, wondering what Dong Zhuo was doing at this point.
"oh?"
Chen Mu was surprised to see them coming on horseback and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Gongshu, please come in quickly."
Liu Bei didn't know Xun He, so he asked Chen Mu in a low voice: "Who are they?"
Chen Mu then smiled and said: "Brother, let me introduce to you, this is Xun and Xun Gongshu, the sons of Duke Boxiu."
Duke Bo Xiu?
Xun Yu?
As a role model in the world whose reputation is second only to the three monarchs, Liu Bei naturally knew Xun Yu's reputation, and immediately welcomed him warmly: "It turns out that he is the son of Duke Boxiu. Bei has met Mr. Xun."
Everyone then entered the camp.
This time it was past dinner time, and the visitor came unexpectedly without prior notice, so Liu Bei stopped preparing for the banquet and only served drinks.
After a few people sat down, Xun He asked: "Xiao Lieutenant, I wonder why Dong Qiao came to visit you?"
It is very impolite to inquire into other people's private affairs.
However, Xun He was in his forties and fifties, and he was also Xun Yu's son. Liu Bei did not feel rude and replied: "General Hussar wants to invite me to jointly impeach Yuan Shao."
"What?"
Xun He was shocked and asked, "Did the captain agree?"
Liu Bei was puzzled and said: "This is a just thing. Yuan Shao led troops into the palace, massacred innocent people everywhere, and brought the emperor almost into trouble. Committing rebellion is the same as treason. Impeaching such a black sheep, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
"
Xun, Fengji, Chen Lin looked at each other, stood up and said goodbye at the same time: "Captain, I have something else to do, so I can't stay long, so I'll leave first."
They thought Dong Zhuo was instigating Liu Bei and wanted to catch up with Dong Zhuo and ask for an explanation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the three of them left the tent, Liu Bei looked at Chen Mu in confusion and said: "Fourth brother, what is going on?"
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Maybe they are here to visit eldest brother. Mr. Gongshu and I are old friends, so I will see them off, so eldest brother doesn't have to think too much."
"oh."
Since Xun He didn't tell him the purpose of his trip, although Liu Bei felt strange, he didn't think much about it.
Chen Mu chased them out and came to the gate of the camp, where he saw the three of them getting ready to mount their horses and leave.
"Mr. Gongshu."
"oh?"
Xun He turned around and saw that it was Chen Mu, and asked, "What's the matter with Zigui?"
Chen Mu stepped forward with a smile and said, "I want to remind you, sir, that Dong Zhuo is not an easy person to deal with."
The faces of Xun and Chen Lin Fengji changed slightly.
He didn't say anything when he came over, nor did he say why he came. Did Chen Mu already guess what they were thinking?
Xun He pretended not to know: "Zi Gui misunderstood, I am not going to find Dong Zhuo."
Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Well, he left after hearing Dong Zhuo's intention. Plus Yuan Shao is in a situation at this time... Well, I believe that Mr. Gongshu is really not looking for Dong Zhuo."
This is a very strange statement.
Xun He frowned and said, "I wonder what Zi Gui has to say?"
Chen Mu said with a smile: "I want to tell my husband that he has no friendship with Dong Zhuo. He may not listen to your words. You need to find someone who can speak well in front of Dong Zhuo."
"who?"
Xun He asked.
Chen Mu slowly said a person's name.
"Taifu Yuan."
"Does Taifu Yuan have a relationship with Dong Zhuo?"
Xun He didn't know the inside story.
In fact, the reason why Li Ru knew about this was because Li Ru was a doctor of Sangong Mansion and was in charge of some official documents.
So he knew that Dong Zhuo had served as Situ Cao of the Sangong Mansion more than ten years ago.
And for people like Xun and others who were not officials in the court and had never had any dealings with Yuan Wei, they really didn't know this.
Chen Mu explained: "Dong Zhuo was once a disciple of Taifu. Only he can persuade Dong Zhuo."
"I see."
Xun He suddenly realized that he didn't expect that there was such a relationship. Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Mu gratefully and said: "Thank you for your return, Liu Bei's side..."
"I try my best."
Chen Mu patted his chest and promised.
"Well, Zi Guizhen is a benevolent and righteous man."
Xun He was very moved and said, "Then I will go back first and talk about it later."
"We'll talk about it someday."
Chen Mu bowed his hands and bowed.
"Farewell."
The three of them mounted their horses and left.
Watching them leave, Chen Mu still kept smiling.
Um.
Let Yuan Wei go talk to Dong Zhuo.
It is best to negotiate all Yuan Shao's troops and horses with Dong Zhuo.
At that time, Dong Zhuo went to the Empress Dowager to discuss the matter of deposing the emperor.
Anyway, the Empress Dowager Dong has always been determined to establish Liu Xie. With the support of the Empress Dowager, Dong Zhuo will inevitably release the evil thoughts in his heart.
Dong Zhongying.
This is the mission of destroying the great Han Dynasty.
