Chapter 326 Liu Tao Meets Dong Zhuo

There is no need to think deeply about this thing. In February 189, the battle entered a special stage. The thieves were defeated and wanted to retreat. Huangfu Song ordered a pursuit, but Dong Zhuo persuaded not to pursue it. The persuasion was invalid and the pursuit continued.

In the end, Huangfu Song successfully defeated the thieves, bringing the rebellion that began in 184 to an end. Considering that Emperor Ling died in April, Dong Zhuo was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou before that, which should have been four months ago, and the battle had ended.

However, Dong Zhuo did not go to Bingzhou to serve. He was staying in Hedong anyway, but he died in less than a month or even a few days. It was obviously a bit too coincidental. It seemed that he had received someone's order and was waiting in Hedong.

Of course, it was He Jin who called Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, considering that Yuan Shao was working as a clerk under his command...

However, even if Liu Hong died suddenly, Liu Tao would not feel that there was any problem. He would even complain that it took so long to take action, but it lasted for more than four years from 184 to 189.

Or, in the early stage, it was really just to allow Dong Zhuo to recover. But later, I found out that the timing was right, or because of something, the black man decided to take action, so this result was the result?

After listening to Liu Tao's statement, Huangfu Song also thought about it and thought it made sense. As Yuan Wei failed to murder Liu Tao and was dismissed from office, the Yuan family's power in the court was gradually cleansed by Liu Hong.

Yang Ci planned to take over, but as soon as he took office, he found that all the funds from Sikong's mansion had been taken away by Liu Hong. He was busy for three months in Sikong's position, and finally passed away with dissatisfaction and resentment.

Yang Biao has not yet been able to grow up, and the second generation of the Yuan clan does not have an outstanding leader. Liu Hong took advantage of the victory to pursue him. If he had not been attracted by the Liangzhou Rebellion, he would have begun to regain control of the court.

"You can say this in private..." Huangfu Song felt that even if there was such a thing, it was not suitable to talk about it.

First of all, the battle situation in Liangzhou did attract the attention of the entire Han Dynasty. It is not suitable for any chaos now, otherwise it would easily lead to a major defeat on the front line.

Secondly, there is no accurate evidence. If you suspect others casually, you will easily be plotted by others. The key is that there is no benefit. If it is proven to be false, you may also be responsible for slandering important officials of the court.

As a politician, the most correct way to do it is of course to shut up.

"Of course I know. If I think about it, many things can be explained clearly. Liu Ge and I have obviously become someone's thorns in the eyes." Liu Tao replied.

"I have never doubted your innocence with Liu Ge." Huangfu Song replied, "The problem is that the soldiers below do not believe it and have never achieved an effective victory. Many people are holding their breath and need to vent."

The key is that at this time, those who are interested in attracting this aura towards Liu Tao and Liu Ge.

"I'm going to meet Dong Zhuo later..." Liu Tao stood up.

"Do you suspect it's him? But why?" Huangfu Song couldn't understand. If Dong Zhuo had been in vain according to history, then he might have doubted it. But the problem was that Dong Zhuo was transferred to the front line by Zhang Wen. He was not on the front line before, and he was not in vain.

"Because the Marquis of Li Jun, Li Jue mentioned, is from Beidi County. I received the news that he had a good relationship with Dong Zhuo..." Liu Tao replied, "Not to mention that Dong Zhuo is in Liangzhou and has a good relationship with the Qiang people. He himself married the daughter of the leader of the Qiang tribe. From his status to the biggest profit, I have no reason not to doubt him."

"Since that's the case, let's test him." Huangfu Song nodded. Li Jue had a close relationship with Dong Zhuo, but he didn't know this. But it was true that the generals of the entire army could understand the relationship between a military officer under the command of a captain.

"Also, be careful about Zhang Wen..." Liu Tao rose up, "I don't think that anyone who can bring Dong Zhuo in is his own person."

Especially this man made frequent tricks, which not only allowed the war to last for one or two years without results. It also led to the rebellion of Zhang Chun and the Southern Xiongnu. In the end, Liu Hong also realized this problem and re-activated Huangfu Song, which quickly reversed the situation.

Liu Tao had learned about this history, so when he first came, he heard that Zhang Wen was not anxious or slow to collect information, but did not intend to counterattack immediately, so he knew that this person was probably dragging him down. He simply ignored him, so he would not be cheated and said he didn't know.

Look at Liu Ge's fate now, he doesn't want it to be like this.

"Are you too careful?" Huangfu Song suddenly asked.

"I would rather be said to be overly cautious than to know how to repent before others cut off my head." Liu Tao replied casually, "General Huangfu, I feel a torrent that is bigger than the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is coming!"

Huangfu Song opened his mouth, and he seemed to feel what Liu Tao was going to say, but he was not good at comment. Or, at this moment, when he heard this sentence, his scalp felt numb.

Ignoring him, Liu Tao found Dong Zhuo's side. He heard that it was General Zhenbei who came over, so Dong Zhuo actually came out to greet him in person.

Everyone is the prefect, Liu Tao is the magistrate of Yunzhong County, and Dong Zhuo is also the prefect of Hedong. However, the military positions are different. Liu Tao is the general of Zhenbei, and he is just the general of defeating the enemy.

It feels like they are all miscellaneous generals. The problem is that Liu Tao, the general in Zhenbei, has a vague conclusion in the court, and is responsible for the defense of Bingzhou border counties. He, the general who defeated the enemy, is at most equal to the permanent lieutenant.

I can only say that there are people in the permanent lieutenant, and there is no way to comfort me with the identity of a miscellaneous general. This is the feeling. So even the old general, Dong Zhuo's attitude was very low.

"You can't drink alcohol in the army, otherwise you will definitely use the best wine to entertain the general..." Dong Zhuo smiled and led Liu Tao into the camp.

But Liu Tao couldn't relax at all. Although he came in with Yang She, this was Dong Zhuo's territory. A gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall. If he could, he wouldn't want to come.

"I am not good at making an exception in the military rules. And General Dong doesn't need this. When you resisted the Qiang people in the border counties, I was just a vain. If you want to talk about the march, you are a senior, and I should learn from you." Liu Tao also put his posture very low.

Just treat it as respecting this future prime minister. No matter what the means, he can get from a good family to a prime minister of the Han Dynasty. This is his ability.

"Let's not talk about the resume, the best is the first." Dong Zhuo likes Liu Tao's attitude very much.

If it were normal times, maybe I wouldn't mind making friends. After all, this was a connection, but after knowing the Yuan family's plan from his son-in-law Li Ru, he knew more clearly that such capable Han clan members must be eliminated!

"I brought some gifts here..." Liu Tao looked at Dong Zhuo, "I would like to ask General Dong not to dislike him."

Yang Shoo came forward and brought the gift over. It was nothing more than a book "Supervision of Military Training", a tea brick, and a pot of wine. Of course, that book "Supervision" was the final version compiled by Cai Yong... I hope that Dong Zhuo would not be fooled, if he read it.

"I have a small request," Liu Tao looked at Dong Zhuo, "I heard that General Dong has a horse called Chitu. I wonder if I can give up? At least, lend me one or two years?"
