Chapter 384 The Second Meeting Taigu
"The young soldier Li Yanwei is the Prime Minister's envoy, and pays homage to the Lord Mu of Lieyangzhou!"
Li Su is also a man of both wisdom and courage. He heard that strangers have always been unpredictable in their actions, and he saw that the soldiers of Yang Rui's army were very fierce, so after seeing Yang Rui, he lied to be "Li Yan" and did not dare to reveal his true identity.
"Hmph! What's the purpose of Dong Zhe sending you here? Come quickly, don't delay my attack on Dong Zhe's city!"
Yang Rui almost shouted in a reprimand manner that he did not know Li Su, and no one around Yang Rui had ever seen Li Su. In addition, Li Su was wearing Confucian uniform, so Yang Rui only regarded Li Su as an ordinary messenger, wanting to scare the other party first.
"The only thing Prime Minister Dong respects is Lord Gong of the State Council. Now the envoy is here to propose marriage! The Prime Minister has a daughter named Yier, who is only ten years old and three years old. She has already grown up and has a beautiful appearance. It is because Prime Minister Dong admires Lord Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council Gong of the State Council, and wants to match this woman with Lord Gong of the State Council..."
Of course, Li Su would not be scared by Yang Rui's simple words, but would still eloquently explain the task assigned by Dong Zhuo in detail.
Before entering the door, the soldiers informed that Dong Zhuo's envoy had a happy event to visit, but Yang Rui did not expect that it was the case no matter what! According to the envoy's intention, Dong Zhuo actually wanted to marry his daughter who was only thirteen years old to him!
This is obviously nonsense. After listening to the envoy's probation, Yang Rui interrupted the other party's words. Not to mention that he would not accept a thirteen-year-old woman, the purpose of Dong Zhuo's creation of such a thing is already obvious. Dong Zhuo wants to ease the crisis behind the rear while pushing Yang Rui to the opposite side of the heroes!
"Dong Zhuo is against the will of heaven and the law. He is overthrowing the royal family. I want to barbarize the nine tribes to thank the world and be willing to marry the thieves!" Yang Rui immediately stood up and scolded, and immediately ordered his soldiers to push Li Su out and behead him!
Fortunately, there were other people present. Chen Lin immediately persuaded Yang Rui, claiming that the two sides would not kill each other when they were fighting, and they should not give the other people the impression of bloodthirsty because of their temporary anger. This would lead to poor communication.
Since Yang Rui asked Chen Lin to come from Yuan Shao, perhaps Yang Rui's various behaviors have been recognized by Chen Lin, and Chen Lin's attitude has become more proactive from being more indifferent at the beginning. Although Chen Lin is only considered Yang Rui's subordinate and there is no problem of loyalty, Yang Rui can feel this change in Chen Lin.
Therefore, Yang Rui chose to respect Chen Lin's suggestion and immediately gave up killing Li Su. Of course, this was also under the premise that he did not know Li Su's true identity.
Li Su seemed to have expected that things would not go too smoothly. Seeing Chen Lin persuade Yang Rui, she was obedient while observing Yang Rui's expression. After Yang Rui's attitude eased slightly, Li Su spoke up again and talked about the various benefits of marriage.
"Mr. The governor of the state will listen to the details of the young masters, and it will not be too late to make a decision. Lord Dong is now the prime minister. Although he is suffering from the eighteen princes of Guandong, Prime Minister Dong is ordered to be blocked by the heavens, and there are strong soldiers and generals to help him. The princes of all walks of life are just the pain of scabies. The prime minister only cares about Lord Mu of Lieyangzhou!
Moreover, as one of the eighteen princes, Lord Zhou Mu should know that the princes were just temporarily put together. They seemed very powerful, but in fact they were no different from a scattered sand. They all had suspicions and conflicts of interests. It was not obvious that they had Prime Minister Dong beside him. If Prime Minister Dong had been guarding the pass for a long time and the princes could not move westward, the heroes might soon start civil strife!
Although Lord Mu of Zhou is one of the heroes, he is also unique and has the most powerful among the heroes. The Prime Minister has long heard of it. If it weren't for the son of Yuan Shao, he would have been the leader of the alliance of princes with the appeal of Lord Mu of Zhou, but unfortunately he was blocked by incompetent people such as Yuan Shao.
The heroes are so ignorant of the talents of the governor of the state, but Prime Minister Dong is well aware of the ability of the great master. He once said that if the governor of the state, Sili, Qingzhou and Yanzhou will be raised together, the heroes of Guandong will be like a child's play and will be calmed down today!
Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Mu of the State to consider Prime Minister Dong's kindness, accept the marriage with Prime Minister, so as to jointly carry out major events and share the world! At that time, Lord Mu of the State and Chief Gong are the same family as Dong Cheng, and the Prime Minister will express his kindness to Lord Mu of the State, with high officials and generous salaries, and no need to say about his glory and wealth! Please think twice!”
Li Su was used as a lobbyist by Dong Zhuo one after another. He was indeed a little eloquent and forced to describe the current situation as very beneficial to Dong Zhuo. Judging from his unambiguous appearance, those who are not clear about the situation will not be able to tell the truth or falsehood after hearing his words!
"Don't let me say this sweet words. I won't kill you for the time being. You should just leave quickly. If you dare to talk nonsense, I should stop talking about mercy!"
Even if Li Su was honest and made a fuss, Yang Rui was unmoved. He said that he was a high-ranking official and generous salary, and he would be glorious and wealthy. But if he married Dong Zhuo, Yang Rui would definitely become the target of the heroes. The situation was not what Li Su said at all!
Seeing that Yang Rui was unmoved and was posing as if he wanted to use him to take the knife, Li Su did not dare to delay any more. After bowing again, he left out in panic.
"Go back and report to the old thief Dong Zhuo, and give up Hulao Pass early and Luoyang City to avoid suffering in the future!" Seeing that Li Su was about to go far, Yang Rui even warned a few words from afar.
But Li Su left Taigu City. Thinking about Yang Rui's attitude, he was also scared, so he quickly rushed and rushed for half an hour before he felt more at ease. However, at this time, he heard someone calling his name from behind. Li Su thought that Yang Rui sent someone to come, and was frightened again.
"General Li Su, stay! General Li Su, stay, Prime Minister Dong urgently ordered..."
When Li Su saw someone coming up, he was about to leave for a while, but the other party refused to give up and stayed behind him, and there was a tendency to get closer and closer! Fortunately, Li Su had already heard the words of the people behind him in panic. He thought it was someone sent by Dong Zhuo, so he stopped.
"Report to General Li Su, I am following the order of Prime Minister Dong to chase him here. The Prime Minister sent a small soldier to the general and ordered the general to go to Gong County to meet with Li Ru's military advisor, and the military advisor had important matters to discuss with the general!"
The visitor was indeed a soldier sent by Dong Zhuo. He followed Li Su's route all the way. Of course, when Li Su entered Taigu Small Town to talk about the matchmaking, the soldier did not dare to enter. Li Su entered Taigu Small Town from the north gate and left the city from the east gate, which also caused him and the soldier to miss a lot of distances.
Li Su knew Dong Zhuo's temperament well, so after hearing Dong Zhuo's urgent order, he naturally did not dare to delay and quickly headed towards Gong County. Taigu small town is not far from Gong County. Li Su had already walked half a distance before, so he arrived at Gong County after more than an hour.
"General Li Su has finally arrived. Li Ru has been waiting here for a long time. I wonder if the general went to the governor of Lieyang Prefecture to propose marriage, would he gain anything?"
After seeing Li Su arrive, Li Ru hurriedly stood up and couldn't wait to ask about the relevant situation.
"Li Su is ashamed of Prime Minister Dong's trust and is extremely ashamed! However, Lieyang is in a bad position. Not only does he not agree to his marriage with the Prime Minister, he ridiculed Li Su, and his words are also very rude to Prime Minister Dong. If it were not for the Confucian scholars of his subordinates, Li Su would have been almost killed on the spot by Lieyang!"
When Li Ru asked about this, Li Su said with shame.
After hearing this, Li Ru did not say anything for a long time. Although he knew the difficulty, he still had certain hope for this matter. If the marriage can be successfully discussed, the current dilemma would be equivalent to being solved by most of the time!
"The stubborn and unrestrained sun, I am not worth it to the Prime Minister. It is better to be able to marry, but I can't give up if I can get married!" Seeing Li Ru's look of great disappointment, Li Su persuaded him in a low voice, and at the same time, he was also expelling himself in disguise.
"Can General Li Su know that the day before yesterday, the scathing sun occupied Hangu Pass again?"
"What?!"
When the news of Yang Rui taking down Hangu Pass reached Hulao Pass, Li Su was ordered to look for Yang Rui to talk about the marriage. Now after hearing Li Ru telling the latest situation, Li Su was also very surprised. He naturally knew the importance of Hangu Pass.
"Hangu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is an important way for me to contact Xiliang. Now I will go to the small city of Taigu to visit Lieyang, try to move his heart with heavy profits, change his ambitions with titles and salaries, and express his interests with benefits and disadvantages. I hope he can help the Prime Minister.
General Li Su had to go to the Luoyang Imperial City, and after taking the Prime Minister's daughter Yier, he also went to Taigu Small Town to meet. Before leaving, the Prime Minister had told him to immediately take Yier to meet Lieyang, hoping to move his heart..."
After the two were silent for a while, Li Ru finally said.
Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and first military advisor, and also followed Dong Zhuo's orders. Of course, Li Su followed everything. So after the two agreed, they acted separately early the next morning. One end went directly to Taigu to see Yang Rui, but the other end actually planned to move Dong Zhuo's daughter to Yang Rui. I wonder what Yang Rui would feel in the future.
It was a coincidence that after Yang Rui took over the Taigu City, the position was too prominent within Dong Zhuo's forces, and there were many Dong Zhuo's camp troops who came to counterattack. Yang Rui actually guarded the Taigu City defense for two consecutive days and did not move anywhere else.
Dong Zhuo's troops are actually as many as millions. Although most of them are distributed in Luoyang Imperial City and several places near Hulao Pass, there are also many counties near Luoyang Imperial City. Especially in the past two days, a large force of Dong Zhuo has been following Yang Rui's troops to recover the lost land. Yang Rui spent some more time in Taigu small town.
This is also the reason why Yang Rui had not left until Li Ru arrived at the small town of Taigu. (To be continued...)
