"Lord, someone wants to see you." Xing Tian entered the tent to report.
"Oh, who wants to see me?" Li Xiang asked curiously.
"The visitor said he came from Hulao Pass and brought a lot of things, including gold, silver, jewelry, brocade and other gifts." Xing Tian said.
"Oh! Interesting. If that's the case, let's bring him in!" Li Xiang couldn't help but chuckle.
Since the other party said that he came from Hulao Pass, he must be from Dong Zhuo. He also brought gold, silver, jewelry, brocade and other gifts. Without thinking too much, he knew what the purpose of this person's coming was.
It didn't take long for a person to walk in from outside the tent. Although this person looked ordinary and seemed unsurprising, he was still a famous person in history!
Wan Qixi relied on Qin Hui, followed Qin Hui's wishes to attack the main war faction, took charge of Yue Fei's prison, and framed Yue Fei for falsely reporting military information and staying in Huaixi, which resulted in the murder of Yue Fei, his father and son, Zhang Xian and others. He later fought for power with Qin Hui and was deposed.
After Qin Hui's death, Wan Qixi was recalled to the capital to serve as a counselor and political affairs officer, and was promoted to Shangshu's right servant She Tongping Zhangshi. Because he continued to implement the policy of surrender, he was deeply hated by the people.
"I've seen General Wei!" As soon as he saw Li Xiang, Wan Qixi was the first to salute.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me the purpose of your coming here. Dong Zhuo asked you to come here for more than just a visit!" Li Xiang said straight to the point.
"General Wei was joking. The prime minister often mentioned his sworn friendship with the general in the court. The prime minister once said that if the general goes to help the prime minister, he must ask your majesty to confer the general to the position of general and share the power of the government with the prime minister.
." Wan Qixi slowly said, "In my humble opinion, among the forces in the world, General Yu Xiangguo is the strongest. If the general and the Prime Minister join forces, who else in the world is qualified to be the opponent of the general and the Prime Minister.
?”
As a general, and jointly in charge of the government, the bargaining chip given by Fatty Dong is really not small!
It's a pity. Let's not talk about whether the bargaining chip given by this fat man is true. Even if it is true, Li Xiang will not agree. Li Xiang is not interested in Dong Zhuo, a ship with many problems.
What's more, he, Fatty Dong, is really overthinking the affairs of state with him, Fatty Dong. Li Xiang is only interested in being in charge of the affairs of state alone. When the time comes, it will be even better if he can kick that little emperor out!
"Humph, Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor, disrupted the imperial court, deposed the emperor without authorization, sent troops to ravage Luoyang, and killed the ministers. He is actually the biggest traitor in the world. How can I, the general, be complicit in this? I and other princes are hereby ordered by the emperor.
"Twenty-two princes gathered under Hulao Pass and vowed not to retreat until Dong Zhuo, the traitor who brought disaster to the country, was destroyed!" Li Xiang's words were so awe-inspiring.
"General Li, Prime Minister..." As a lobbyist, he will naturally not give up easily as soon as he is rejected by others. Therefore, after being rejected by Li Xiang, Wan Qixi rolled his eyes and immediately
I thought of other ways to persuade Li Xiang.
"That's enough. We, the princes, raised righteous troops and followed the imperial edict to punish the thieves. This is a matter of national importance. Since you have acted as a lobbyist for Dong's thieves, you have committed great disloyalty to the court. Xingtian, pull him out and behead him.
Come on!" As if he was a little impatient, Li Xiang directly found a reason to convict Wan Qixi of a crime.
"General Li, please spare your life, General Li, please spare your life,... ah."
In the face of life and death, Wan Qixi suddenly revealed his true colors. His nose was filled with runny nose and tears. There was even an inexplicable smell in the air. Wan Qixi was so frightened that he peed his pants.
The envoys sent by Dong Zhuo met with a tragic end with Li Xiang, and the other envoys were not much better.
The funniest thing is that the envoy Dong Zhuo sent to Sun Jian, in order to win over Sun Jian, actually proposed a marriage with Sun Jian. The partners of this marriage were Dong Zhuo's granddaughter and Sun Jian's son Sun Quan.
Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, who is fifteen years old, is said to be as beautiful as a flower. She has reached the age where she should get married, so it is normal for her to be considered a marriage partner.
But the envoy clearly didn't inquire about the situation clearly before arriving at Sun Jian's place. Sun Quan was only seven years old, so how could he marry Dong Zhuo's granddaughter?
What's even more funny is that after the envoy sent by Dong Zhuo entered Sun Jian's tent, he actually recognized Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce as Sun Quan.
Under the fierce manipulation of this envoy, Sun Jian suddenly lost interest in talking to him and directly faced several of his soldiers who beat him out with sticks.
The situation handled by Cao Cao was similar to that of Sun Jian. They both drove out the envoys sent by Dong Zhuo. However, what was different from Sun Jian was that Cao Cao directly detained the gifts brought by Dong Zhuo's envoys and even euphemistically called them his.
He came to beg the thief for the spoils he had obtained, but he kept them to himself without blushing or heartbeat.
In addition to these few people, Dong Zhuo sent envoys to almost all the other princes. Perhaps only the three Yuan princes, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Yi, did not send envoys.
After all, Dong Zhuo had killed dozens of people in Luoyang. Under the bloody feud, there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides. Even if Dong Zhuo really helped Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Yi by sending envoys, it would be nothing more than nothing.
Just adding a few lives for no reason.
As for the envoys Dong Zhuo sent to other princes, such as Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, Liu Yu, Tao Qian, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bei, Kong Rong... the envoys to these princes were really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Some are better.
If you are hit directly by a random stick, if you are unlucky, you may go in vertically and come out horizontally.
Of course, it was not without any effect. At least Han Fu, Kong Miao, Zhang Chao, Zhang Yang and other princes, although they did not agree to Dong Zhuo's solicitation, they did not refuse explicitly. They indirectly accepted Dong Zhuo's gifts one by one.
They also stated that they only responded to Yuan Shao's appeal and obeyed Yuan Shao's orders, and did not intend to become enemies of Dong Zhuo.
Although they paid a large amount of gold and silver, they did not get any substantial gains. However, Li Ru and Qin Hui were not discouraged after learning about it. Instead, they both showed a smile of success.
But on that day, rumors spread among the coalition forces that some among the princes had secretly submitted to Dong Zhuo and were looking for opportunities to work as internal agents for Dong Zhuo.
Obviously, compared to winning over various princes, this alienation strategy is actually what Li Ru and Qin Hui really want to do.
As long as the seeds of suspicion are sown in the hearts of various princes, the princes who already have evil intentions will be less likely to work in one place.
Although the Kwantung Allied Forces are large in number, they are actually no better than a piece of loose sand. Sooner or later, they will all be defeated by Dong Zhuo one by one.
