Chapter 194 Dong Zhuo's shamelessness

Dong Zhuo is a very good at ease. He is the kind of person who can continue to be promoted after defeating a battle. Before he became rich, although he was domineering compared to those with lower official positions, he was very flattering compared to those with higher official positions and trusted by his superiors. He himself was also capable, not a general who could only talk, so He Jin trusted him so much.

But because Dong Zhuo was so good at greeting Shangguan, he refused to support Li Qin, which led to Li Qin driving Liu Jiu into the Western Regions, causing him to himself with almost devastating serious consequences!

Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with being the captain of Wuji in the Western Regions. Although he was also a regional military commander and had a lot of oil and water, he was far away from the Central Plains. It was easy to make money, but it was difficult to get promoted. It was even more difficult to be ranked in the throne. Dong Zhuo was a man with great ideals. He was not willing to stay in the Western Regions for the rest of his life, so he spent all his money making in the Western Regions on clearing the road to officialdom and wanted to be transferred to Liangzhou or Bingzhou, so that he could be closer to Luoyang.

If you want to buy an official position, there are two ways to go in the Han Dynasty today, one is the Ten Constant Assess and the other is He Jin. But Dong Zhuo cannot go to the Ten Constant Assess. On the surface, he has to pretend to be noble and have good relations with the wealthy families, so he must not have any connection with the eunuch group. Of course, when he walks out of the Western Regions and completes the first step, it is another to say whether he will collude with the eunuch at that time, but now he must be against the eunuch, otherwise he will not be able to take He Jin's path.

Dong Zhuo has always been concerned about the surrounding situation. Li Qin is doing well in Liangzhou. Of course he knows, but the better Li Qin is doing, the greater the threat to him, and the less hope he has to be transferred to Liangzhou. When Li Qin goes to Bingzhou, Dong Zhuo knows even more that he has no chance and cannot go to Liangzhou. Bingzhou is also in trouble. If you want to get a good place like Hedong, you can't even think about it.

Li Qin was following the path of the Ten Generals. If Dong Zhuo wanted to cross the mountain of Li Qin and enter the Central Plains, he had to curry favor with He Jin. But after all, he was in the Western Regions, and the news was not so smooth, and the news he received was often time-difference, which made him not have the matter of He Jin and Li Qin getting along well and recognizing relatives.

When Dong Zhuo learned that Liu Jiu took advantage of Li Qin's opportunity to go to Bingzhou and went south to attack Fujiao Fort, he was almost crazy. If Liu Jiu confiscated Li Qin's hometown, Li Qin would be done. What kind of famous generals and not famous generals would become a joke. Even his hometown was confiscated, and he still had the face to call himself a famous general!

Since Dong Zhuo was the captain of Wuji, his main responsibility was to protect the Silk Road and act as a firefighting team. On the Silk Road, he would go wherever there was war. Anyway, as long as he was on the Silk Road, he would not leave his camp.

When Fujiao Fort sent someone to ask him for help, he happened to be near Dunhuang. Judging from the Wuji Army's ability to run, if he went to support Fujiao Fort, he might have arrived earlier than the reinforcements in Long County. After all, the Wuji School Captain was doing firefighting work, and running around was his job. Dong Zhuo's army was very good at rushing for assistance.

Dunhuang is a territory of Liangzhou, which is the territory of the lieutenant of the Qiang Huqiu. It is wrong for Dong Zhuo, the lieutenant of Wuji, to wander around here. It is a cross-border redirection. Moreover, Fujiao Fort sent someone to ask for help from him, and to change someone else, Dong Zhuo must give this face, but he just didn't give it to Li Qin.

Dong Zhuo wished Li Qin was in great trouble. Fujiao Fort was burned to the ground and was happy. He asked him to save him. Don’t joke. He saw the gifts sent by Fujiao soldiers. It was very expensive. It seemed that the guard of Fujiao Fort was really anxious and sent him a lot of gems. Even if he scraped the ground in the Western Regions, he had never scratched such expensive jewelry.

He really never accepted gifts from others, but when others begged him to send troops, he refused. After receiving the gift, he perfunctorily said that he wanted to rush back to the Western Regions and could not support Li Qin. Then he led the Wuji Army and ran back to the Western Regions with the gifts and ran to Gaochang, showing that he was really anxious and that the Western Regions were in danger.

But not long after Dong Zhuo returned to Gaochang, he had not yet waited for the news that Fujiao Fort was burned to the ground, but he had been waiting for Liu Jiu. This was so unlucky, how could he have thought that Liu Jiu would come to the Western Regions and even to the hinterland!

The Chief of the Western Regions also learned the news. In a furious manner, the Chief of the State immediately sent someone to order Dong Zhuo to lead troops to fight Liu Jiu. Although the Western Regions were under the threat of the Xiongnu Shanyu, even the Shanyu himself only collected some property from the merchants passing by the Xiongnu territory. At most, he sent people to the Western Regions to harass him. On a small scale, he never said that he would have to invade a large number of troops. This is a great deal and he must be driven away. Of course, this task must be handed over to Dong Zhuo. Who made him the Captain of Wuji?

Dong Zhuo was anxious and quickly summoned his subordinates. He had many subordinates, and they were all good at fighting, with several powerful generals, and they were even more amazing. Like Li Jue and Guo Si were among the best. Dong Zhuo summoned his subordinates to his lieutenant to hold a military meeting.

In the lobby, Dong Zhuo sat upright in the middle, and he said with a sad face: "Everyone, now Liu Jiu is bringing troops to our Western Regions. How should we retreat to the enemy? Do you have any insight?"

Generals look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything, but they all thought to themselves: "Liu Jiu was defeated by Li Qin, so he came. According to the situation of the Malay Report, Li Qin deliberately drove him to the Western Regions. This is obviously a revenge. We will not save his hometown. In fact, we are not fighting with Liu Jiu now, but competing with Li Qin!"

Guo Si said: "General, after hearing that Li Qin pursued Liu Jiu and entered the Western Regions, he had already retreated. It seemed that he was stationed in Dunhuang. It was equivalent to blocking Liu Jiu's retreat eastward. Liu Jiu could not go south and would not go west anymore. The west was the territory of the Xiongnu Shanyu, so he could only go north, but the north was his territory. As long as Li Qin did not chase him, he would be safe. Since he was safe, how could he retreat easily? Of course, he had to grab it until he was satisfied."

Li Jue also said: "Liu Jiu came because he was forced to helplessly. With his newly defeated army, he would not occupy the land in the Western Regions. He just wanted to grab some property and go back to the grassland to enjoy it. Why not let him grab it? After he had enough, he would leave. Anyway, the robbers were also from the merchants, and he would not come to Gaochang to grab ours."

When the generals were right, they all said it was right. Anyway, they were not robbing us. At most, we would lose some filial piety. There was no need to go to war with Liu Jiu. At most, they would act to threaten. When Liu Jiu robs enough to withdraw his troops, we can say that we were repelling him. Others will not pursue us, and the chief minister will not blame him. What else should we worry about?

Dong Zhuo said: "This is reasonable, but after I went to He Jin's way, I also gave the money. He Jin might have the position of Hedong Prefect, and maybe he could still become the governor of Bingzhou. Of course, the affairs of the governor are a later story, but the official position of Hedong Prefect was left for me. If someone was jealous and made a fuss about Liu Jiu's affairs, I was afraid that I would not be able to go to Hedong. You can only follow me to eat sand in the Western Regions."

Guo Si said: "General, Hedong is a place in Bingzhou. If we go there, we might have to be Li Qin's subordinate in the future. Didn't it be said that Li Qin has become the governor of Bingzhou? Although he has not taken office yet, this matter has been decided. If you offend him, the last general will see that the prefect of Hedong is not a good official position, so it's better not to be there."

Dong Zhuo frowned and said, "But I spent money. If I can't get it back, then He Jin is a bitch. He only enters and does not leave. If the money is in his hands, can he still get it back? He can only change to some other place to be the prefect, but how can he reach Hedong in other places?"

Li Jue said: "Everyone, everyone, what we are talking about now is how to retreat to the enemy. Liu Jiu is still on our territory. Why do you say that Hedong is coming? I have been in Bingzhou for a long time and I know the situation there very well. Although Hedong is good, if you can't get it, don't say more."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Yes, we are talking about retreating to the enemy. By the way, Zhiran, aren't you from Beidi County? Where is your hometown?" Zhiran is Li Jue's face.

Li Jue blushed and said in a low voice: "It's Fuping County, but the last general has left there for a long time. He went to Bingzhou, and then followed the general to the Western Regions, but he never returned to Fuping again."

Dong Zhuo and the generals here know each other so much that they can’t know anymore. Li Jue always talks about him all day long, saying that he is the descendant of General Fei and has a good relative in his family named Li Qin. So, he said all day long. But recently, because Dong Zhuo has begun to be wary of Li Qin, Li Jue stopped talking.

None of the generals said, and looked at Dong Zhuo together. Dong Zhuo looked "surprised" and said, "So, is Zhiran and Li Qin in such a way? I remember you said you were the descendant of the Flying General, and then Li Qin is not the same. Your hometown is in Fuping, so there should be some relationship, right? There must be a relative!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth and said, "This relationship is a little bit, but it may not be true that it is a relative relationship. I have never met him and have never recognized him yet!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and clapped his hands and said, "When you meet, you can recognize the kiss! Zhiran, I have something to ask for, I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

Li Jue quickly straightened his waist, clasped his fists at Dong Zhuo and said, "General, I dare not obey the order!"

Dong Zhuo said: "You go and recognize Li Qin. Take him back the gift he gave me last time. I will prepare a gift with you. You will take it with you. Isn't he stationed in Dunhuang now? I beg him to send troops to help me fight back Liu Jiu. I beg him for your sake and beg him for your sake, so he should agree!"
