I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221, Deal with Dong Zhuo

Han Fu remained silent, he was a former official of the Yuan Clan, and without Yuan Yu's recruitment and recommendation at the beginning, he would not be where he is today.

And it was Yuan Kai who got him out of Luoyang City to become Jizhou Muben, just to help the Dong League take charge of the logistics.It's just that none of them thought that things would develop like this.

The perfect plan they made, suffered all kinds of accidents, and now he has no confidence that Dong Zhuo can defeat Dong Zhuo!
If they really failed, it would be a rebellion. At that time, not only would their reputation be ruined, but the entire clan would also suffer.His Han family will also decline under his influence, and this is unacceptable to Han Fu.

After thinking for a while, Han Fu asked the judge, "Zhengnan, how much do you think they have at the beginning? Can we really defeat Dong Zhuo?"

Among his subordinates, the judges have experienced several wars, so he wants to hear the opinions of the judges from the alliance!

But the judge said: "The righteousness lies in it, knowing that it can't be done, but also doing it!"

Han Fu smiled helplessly. This doesn't mean that they don't have much chance of winning!
The judge didn't lie to Han Fu either: "Teacher is too impatient, he should first integrate the power of the whole big man to deal with Lei Gong, with Lei Gong's strength, even if the power of the whole big man is strangled, it will take several years before he can see the hope of defeating him At that time, Dong Zhuo will definitely attack Bingzhou with his army and Huangfusong.

After Dong Zhuo left Luoyang City, it will be much more convenient for us to deal with Dong Zhuo no matter what, and now!What Ju Yi said is not wrong, even if we break through the eight passes of Luoyang, we can only turn Luoyang city into nothingness. "

Han Fu frowns after hearing the words of the trial match.

"According to what you say, isn't our defeat already doomed?"

The judge thought for a while and said: "The state shepherd can only provide food and not join the Dong Dong alliance. This can be regarded as a complete task assigned by the Taifu. In fact, the subordinates feel that the adults should be closer to Huangfu Yizhen. Only his Only a large army can truly defend Jizhou."

Han Fu thought for a while and said helplessly: "We don't care about other things except for food and grass to ask for the alliance. Now the most important thing is to maintain the stability of Jizhou!"

Luoyang City!
What Dong Zhuo got was all good news!

First, Liu Bei led an army of [-] troops to cross Chang'an City. Now that Nanyang County has set off, the entire Chang'an City has no power to stop Dong Zhuo from controlling it!

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Okay, with Liu Bei's army, Yuan Shu's people don't have to worry about it. How could Yuan Shu, a braggadocio, be the opponent of a veteran like Liu Bei!"

"Order Shuying to lead an army of 2 to take over the entire Chang'an City, appease the county soldiers around Chang'an, and tell him that this is the way out for our Dong family, and you must take care of it!"

Dong Min is Dong Zhuo's younger brother, and he is also the person he trusts the most now. He entrusts his younger brother to take care of his future!

Then he said to Li Ru: "Give the 5000 sets of iron armor purchased from Mayi to Li Jue, let him form the Flying Bear Camp, let him change the equipment and station at Hulaoguan, and show me the gate of Luoyang City! As long as you find Yuan Shao's traces, give Yuan Shao a hard lesson. I want to tell Yuan Wei that I am not as good as him when playing dirty, but when playing with knives, he is not even worthy to carry the old man's shoes! The old man just wants to let Yuan Wei know , if he has no family background, he is a fart!"

Then Dong Zhuo moved his body and said: "Winter is almost over, I should also move around, and when I cut off the heads of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, I will hand it over to the Tai Tuo to let him know the end of confronting the old man!
The Taifu has calculated everything, the only one who is wrong is our big man warrior, who is not as shameless as him, who is the real national thief, they know it all!With them standing on the side of the truth, Yuan Shao and the others will be unable to turn the sky! "

The time Yuan Shao and the others chose to raise their troops was winter, and it was not easy for Dong Zhuo to mobilize his army to attack Yuan Shao and the others.But now that winter is about to pass, he has also found allies to contain Huangfusong and Liu Yu, and now Liu Bei is also on his side, and what he has to deal with is only the second generation of officials who have not fought with Yuan Shao. In Dong Zhuo's view In this war, he is sure to win!
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Wen You thinks that we are going to take the initiative to defeat Yuan Shao and the others after the beginning of spring, or wait for Yuan Shao and the others to come and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "President of the country, although we have military advantages, we don't have as much food and grass as Yuan Shao and the others. Luoyang City cannot be self-sufficient in food. We have to import 500 shi of food from the Central Plains every year to support Yuan Shao and the others. Since the incident, the entire Central Plains has not transported a stone of grain to Luoyang City, and delaying it is not good for us."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "It seems that we don't have many choices, but this is good, let Brother Yuan Shao see the prestige of my Xiliang iron cavalry!"

Li Ru continued: "The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The prime minister cannot ignore this problem. Although the prime minister is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in name, he can only control the Sili. Since Yuan Shao's uprising, the prefects in various places Mudu refused to pay taxes on the grounds of war. Even though we still have 200 billion in money, the money cannot buy food and grass. It is difficult for us to support hundreds of thousands of troops in one place!
Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "Everyone said that the truth is a national traitor. Seeing that the big man has not perished, the eunuchs are anxious to stand on their own feet and kill all these villains. There will be no mistake!"

It's fine for Yuan Shao and the others to rebel, but the other prefect Zhou Mu's non-payment of taxes is obviously useless. They want to wait and see, whoever is the winner, they will join that side! "

, Li Ru continued: "Although Yuan Shao's army is only a few hundred thousand, the Central Plains has a population of tens of millions. Yuan Shao and the others can easily recruit another hundred thousand soldiers, but our rear is unstable. I am worried that the prime minister will lead the army to leave Luoyang City. , Luoyang City's powerful clans and Yuan Shao's rebellious internal and external cooperation, we will be in trouble.

So we can only win quickly. If we and Yuan Shao and the others are in a stalemate, we don't have enough food and pay, and there is a high probability of defeat! "

Dong Zhuo said to himself: "Based on the army in my hands, even half of it is enough to defeat Yuan Shao's coalition army!"

He now has two ace troops in his hands, one is ceramic heavy cavalry, and the other is full iron armored flying bear army. These two troops are elites who can fight ten against one, and they are also the source of Dong Zhuo's confidence!A veteran like him relied on these two ace armies, 5 troops were enough to defeat Yuan Shao and his hundreds of thousands of troops!

Dong Zhuo continued: "As long as there are no accidents, giving the old man two months is enough to defeat Yuan Shao and the others. At that time, the truth will arrange for our people to occupy the counties in the Central Plains, so that we don't have to worry about the food problem! Wen Wen When the time comes, You will sit in Luoyang City for the old man, and whoever dares to make a change, you will be killed!"

Li Ru nodded, Dong Zhuo's arrangement was not revealed much!Unless Yuan Shao and the others emerge an ancient soldier like Han Xin, otherwise Yuan Shao and the others are doomed!
Then Li Rucong took a set of iron armor from the attendant beside him and said: "This is the armor given to the Prime Minister by Commander Lei Gongqu. It is said that the armor was made with Mayi's latest cold forging technology, and its defense is stronger than the previous steel armor. times, even if the big yellow crossbow is shot at close range, it will not be able to penetrate it!"

Dong Zhuo took the armor and said sadly: "I never imagined that my majestic prime minister would be so reduced to asking a bandit to care about me. All the civil and military officials in the court wanted me to die, and Lei Gong worried that I would be assassinated if I rebelled! What is this? What the hell! Could it be that I, Dong Zhuo, have really done something so outrageous that the whole man can't stand me anymore!
Dong Zhuo took the armor and said: "Next time you go to find Lei Gong, ask him what he wants, and I will give him a gift in return!"

At this time, Li Ru said: "Lei Gong also brought a subordinate, saying that he has a big business and wants to trade with the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo immediately said: "Bring people here!"

Suddenly, he thought of the scene when he met Lei Gong back then, so he ordered: "Go and prepare a banquet for the old man!"

Not long after, an ordinary person came to Dong Zhuo and said, "Envoy of the Rattan Armor Army, Wan Shi has seen General Dong!"

Li Rudao: "Now you should call him Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo stopped him and said, "It's okay, I've fought all my life, the general sounds kind!"

"Come on, come on, come on, let's chat while eating. The old man knows that your rattan armor army is running out of food, so brother Wanshi must be starving to death!"

Wan Shi looked at Dong Zhuo's prepared meals but said, "It's okay, Li Changshi took good care of him along the way."

But he himself ate it unceremoniously!
Dong Zhuo waited for Wan Shi to eat up all the food on the desk before asking, "What is your handsome Qu interested in in Luoyang City?"

Wan Shi patted his stomach and said: "Our commander-in-chief said that Luoyang City is the imperial capital of the great Han Dynasty, and there are many treasures. It would be a pity if it was destroyed by the war. He asked me to ask the Prime Minister, would you like to trade these treasures for weapons and armor? "

Dong Zhuo asked curiously, "What does Lei Gong like in Luoyang City?"

Wan Shidao: "It is said that there are millions of volumes of scriptures and history collections in the Lantai in the Palace. My Qu Shuai said that it is a pity that it was destroyed by the war. General Dong can exchange 200 volumes of books for a set of iron armor, and 100 volumes of books for a set of ceramic armor. , or exchange 30 scrolls for a set of leather armor and swords, 10 scrolls for a longbow, and 1 scroll for a barrel of arrows!"

Then Wan Shi took out a transaction slip and said: "The prices that can be exchanged are all on it, General Dong can take a look!"

An attendant took the transaction sheet and looked at it, and found that almost all the weapons and equipment, even the trebuchets used in the industrial city, were available. Of course, the price was even higher. It took 1000 volumes of books to exchange for a stone cannon with a range of more than 300 steps!

Dong Zhuo was stunned. He never thought that Lei Gong, a rebel, would care so much about Lantai's books. Dong Zhuo himself didn't even know that Lantai had so many books.

But Dong Zhuo's complexion soon turned ugly. Lei Gong said that he was worried that these books would be burned by the flames of war. Doesn't this mean that he is not optimistic that he can defeat Yuan Shao and the others!
But after all, Lei Gong is his only ally now, and he still asks for Lei Gong, so he held back his anger and said: "The books in Lantai are the precious treasures of the big man. As the prime minister of the big man, I will not sell the big man of these treasures!"

It doesn't matter about Jingshiziji, but Lantai has the taxation, fields, and terrain resources of hundreds of counties in the whole Dahan. It can be said that Dahan relies on these materials to grasp the local situation. Rebellious secrecy.

And now Dong Zhuo still has confidence in his victory over Yuan Shao, so naturally he will not give such precious information to Lei Gong! "

Wan Shi didn't care, and he didn't understand why Qu Shuai wanted these books!

However, he continued: "If General Dong is unwilling to exchange books, can you exchange various craftsmen from the Shaofu for the armor of our rattan armor army?"

Dong Zhuo asked in surprise, "Do you still want people?"

Is Lei Gong really afraid of being strangled to death?

Wan Shi said: "It's a craftsman. The better the craftsmanship, the higher the value. If you reach the master-level craftsman recognized by our Rattan Armor Army, one person can exchange 10 sets of armor. Senior craftsmen can also exchange 5 sets of armor. Intermediate craftsmen can exchange 2 Set, junior craftsman for another set!"

Craftsmen can change armor, and there are still 10 sets of armor. Dong Zhuo was shocked. He asked, "What kind of craftsman can be regarded as a master. How are these levels determined?"

Wan Shidao: "Our Tengjia Army has its own set of standards. As long as General Dong agrees, we Shuai Qu said that he wants to buy a piece of land in Luoyang City to establish an embassy so that we can communicate with each other! At that time, our Tengjia Army will Bring people over and evaluate the artisans you brought over!"

Book Dong Zhuo can't be traded, but craftsman Dong Zhuo doesn't care, if he can exchange 10 sets of iron armor, he would exchange all the people in Luoyang City for Lei Gong!
Xu Wei is most envious of the senior craftsmen of Luoyang City. These are the treasures accumulated by the great man for hundreds of years. In terms of technology, they are much higher than the current Mayi.

Many of them can be regarded as eighth-level craftsmen. If they really have them, Xu Wei can build a steam engine by hand, so that the whole big man has stepped into the steam civilization!So Xu Wei plans to take this opportunity to move all the senior craftsmen in Luoyang City to Mayi!

"I agree with this. The mansion of the former general is still vacant. You can build an embassy there!"

Then Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru: "Wen You, you lead a group of people to protect He Jin's mansion, and don't let anyone hurt little brother Wanshi!"

Dong Zhuo was worried that Yuan Kui and the others had killed Wan Shi in order to cut off his alliance with Lei Gong!He has already seen Yuan Kai's means, and it can be said that in order to achieve his goal, killing a few people is nothing to him.

But it was too important to him, if there was no Lei Gong, he would have to be careful of Huangfusong and Liu Yu's army now, he couldn't bear the price of being an enemy of Lei Gong now!
Li Ru nodded and said, "No!"

After Wan Shi left, Dong Zhuo asked strangely: "What does Lei Gong want? Books and craftsmen, don't he have too many armors and no place to put them?"

In Dong Zhuo's view, craftsmen can't be done by anyone, and they are worth a set of armor?
This is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, enough to buy dozens of slaves.

Li Ru is also baffled, although he is a bit talented, he is still a Confucian scholar, and he can't figure out what is the use of a craftsman?

But he still said: "The Prime Minister is still trying to find a way to trade stone cannons with Lei Gong. It is said that Lei Gong conquered a big city in three days when he was in Jizhou. Cannon!"

Dong Zhuo nodded: "There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in the Shaofu, so you should be able to exchange for a lot of stone cannons. If it is not enough, you can go to Lantai to trade the books of Jingshiziji to Lei Gong. This is Luoyang City, so there is still a shortage of books!"

　Now I write [-] words a day, and my eyes are blinded when I write. Many readers want to add more. I am sorry here. It’s not that I don’t want to add, it’s really impossible!
