Keel Over

"Xiangguo, that Lü Bu himself was confident that he was favored by Xiangguo, and since he left Luoyang, he has openly contradicted the late generals many times, and at Yik Pass, he clearly violated military orders. Has disobeyed and refused to fight. Defeated." Hu Zhen knelt on the ground in the prime minister's residence and wept to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo knelt down on the seat and arched his body impatiently. It was not that he did not believe. After all, Hu Zhen had been with him for a few years. He naturally trusted Hu Zhen more than Lu Bu, who had just been pulled over.

He is no longer as strong as in childhood, and his body is prosperous. After a long time, kneeling would make him feel uncomfortable, but Hu Zhen would cry from time to time, making Dong Zhuo impatient.

After all, he is also a military general. Why is he making a fuss by crying three times a day? Furthermore, he managed to subdue Lu Bu and even gave him his red rabbit BMW. You can't hold people down and don't know how to persuade people. Now you want me to decide for you. If you think Dong Zhuo is an idiot, you can make a fool of yourself by crying twice? Wasn't it a rogue for so many years?

"General Hu, Xiangguo already knows you're tired, so go back and rest." Li Ru, next to Dong Zhuo, naturally noticed Dong Zhuo's impatience and explained to Hu Zhen that some things may be the first time. This will make people sympathize with you, but it will have the opposite effect if you talk too much. It's also Hu Zhen who can't complain. Just these words back and forth, who can you deceive?

"In the end, it's not me, but thinking of Hua Xiong and the innocent soldiers who died in battle under his command, my heart aches, I can't sleep at night, and I swear to seek justice!" Hu Zhen cried.

"Okay, let's rest first. I already know about this." Dong Zhuo stood with his hands on the table, his legs starting to numb; he looked to see what Hu Zhen wanted to say but saw a soldier running by.

"report~"

"What's the matter?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and said. When he opened his eyes today, he was full of bad things, especially when Hu Zhen was making noises back and forth, which made him really irritable. This time his tone was somewhat fierce.

"Upon the prime minister's return to the country, the Yang people were victorious. Governor Lu executed Sun Jian at the foot of Songshan Mountain, and two of his generals, Han Dang and Cheng Pu were also beheaded. Now the Jiangdong army is all retreated, and Governor Lu has brought Sun Xian's body with him into the city."

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo didn't care that Hu Zhen was still there when he heard these words. He smacked the table and said, "Fengxian deserves to be my peerless general, and so is Jiangdong Tiger!"

Although Hu Zhen's face turned to ashes, he stood up and said, "It must be a lie, then Lu Bu's army is less than a thousand men. How can they defeat the Jiangdong army?"

"The general's words are not good." Li Ru smiled and said: "Victory on this battlefield is not as simple as fighting soldiers and horses. I heard that General Lu often used less to win more when he was on the frontier. Although the Jiangdong soldiers were brave, not necessarily more fierce than the barbarians living in the grasslands."

Hu Zhen didn't believe it and didn't want to consider it. He was still crying at Dong Zhuo's place and complained that Lv Bu did not obey the general's orders, causing the three armies to lose the battle, but what was the result? Four thousand of his own men were beaten by Sun Jian and fled in embarrassment, and over a thousand of Lu Bu's men broke through to Jiangdong.

The incompetent general, Lu Bu, expected to lose, so he did not go with him; he would become Lu Bu's ladder to fame; how could he be reconciled?

Simply being reluctant is useless. Dong Zhuo didn't have time to worry about his thoughts, so he immediately ordered: "Go and tell Fengxian the first thing to do after entering the city is to come to Xiangfu. You made a huge contribution to this battle. You are, and you should be rewarded!"

Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, and this alliance of princes also has a strong army. Dong Zhuo secretly contacted Sun Jian and hoped that Sun Jian would accept the court order, rebel against the coalition and serve the court, but Sun Jian refused. Now Lu Bu has beheaded Sun Jian, Yu Gong has demoralized the allied forces of the feudal lords, and in private, he is also venting his anger on Dong Zhuo. Why doesn't he like it?

"Here!" The soldier agreed and turned to leave.

Hu Zhen stood where he was, slightly embarrassed. He didn't know whether to leave or stay. He should go away considering this. Although he was a little guilty, it would only make him more embarrassed if he faced Lu Bu. He stood up and said: "Xianguo, I will finally retire!"

"Yes." Dong Zhuo looked at her. Now that Lu Bu was beheading Sun Jian, although it was not by the rules, Hu Zhen defeated Lu Bu and won a great victory. He had already used practical actions to inform everyone about something wrong with Hu Zhen or an absurd order. Since the two parted unhappily, what Hu Zhen said before was naturally unstable.

But after all, he was her confidant, and he couldn't let her be too shameless, so Dong Zhuo pretended to forget the words he had sued Lu Bu earlier and let him go, which he got to save some face. Was considered.

Hu Zhen got Dong Zhuo's permission and fled as if he had left the prime minister's mansion. Li Ru looked at Hu Zhen's back, shook his head, and sighed: "My lord, although all of these people are people who accompany the Lord to fight all the way, this far, the Lord has already taken control of the court, these old men certainly can't wait, but now is the time to hire some intelligent people."

Today, the political structure of Dong Zhuo's army is mainly based on the Xiliang Army, which was naturally not a problem before. Still, as the power grows in the future, whether it is the DPRK or the army, it is already more capable. It is necessary to use people. That's right; otherwise, if the future is based on seniority and seniority, Lu Bu will treat Xiang Hu Zhen lightly, and he will likely be directly ignored by others. At that time, it would intensify the contradiction between these old and new generals, which would be detrimental to the overall situation.

Dong Zhuo nodded. He also understood Li Ru's problems, but those army generals had followed him for half his life, and now they would reward him for his merits. Instead, he had to gradually marginalize these people, which made Dong Zhuo a bit unbearable.

"Let's look at Fengxian first, we'll discuss this later, but Fengxian made a great contribution this time, so Sun Xian is also perfect. Wen Yu, how do you think the reward will be increased this time?" Dong Zhuo changed the subject.

Li Ru naturally knew that Dong Zhuo was still procrastinating; he sighed in his heart, and after thinking for a moment: "General Lu is a newcomer after all, and he doesn't have to work an inch." was promoted to the rank of Zhonglang General before, and he was also named the Marquis of Duting. This will make people resentful, but it can quickly cool people's hearts if you don't reward it. Will give. From a Confucian point of view, you can reward brocade, fine wine, or take the false post. What do the lords think?"

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and thought, "Are you too stingy?"

"Your Highness, the war is on now, the rebels in the Kanto region have not retreated, and battles will be fought in the future. If too many seals are made at this time, and it rises too fast, not only will the generals be dissatisfied, but General Lu will be stamped soon. There is no stamp." Li Ru said seriously.

"Okay, Wenyu said, asking people to prepare stuff."

"I will do it now." Li Ru agreed, turned, and left...
