Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 63 Dong Zhuo's Solicitation

Dong Zhuo's sudden visit prevented Cai Yong from seeing his daughter, and at the same time brought some "pressure" to Liu Yu, the owner of the small yard.

"The grand master is here in person, the small courtyard is really full of splendor!"

Liu Yu saluted respectfully, but in his heart he was thinking that Han Rang in the palace said that Dong Zhuo would only summon him tomorrow, so why did he suddenly come to his small courtyard tonight.

Seeing that Niu Fu was the only one accompanying Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu suddenly wanted to assassinate him.

"Ding, Dong Zhuo's strength is 85, leadership is 87, resourcefulness is 80, mental skill is 94, friendship is 50, and the attribute of the five elements is gold."

"Ding, Niu Fu's strength is 85, leadership is 85, resourcefulness is 75, mind is 85, and friendship is 30."

Through a systematic investigation, the military strength of these two people has reached the ranks of quasi-first-class generals, and it is difficult to kill them with one blow.

And Dong Zhuo, who is cautious by nature, really didn't bring other guards?

Thinking of this, Liu Yuqiang suppressed his desire to do something, and he secretly reminded himself that the fundamental purpose of returning to Luoyang was to subdue and take over the entire Xiliang forces.

Killing Dong Zhuo at this time would only disrupt the overall plan, and he would not be able to escape smoothly.

After all, in order to gain more trust from Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu only brought fifty soldiers with him when he returned to Beijing.

Moreover, in history, Wang Yun used a beauty trick to get Lv Bu to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but instead of realizing his original intention of revitalizing the court, he angered all the ministries in Xiliang and was captured by the Xiliang army. The situation of the separatist regime.

After giving up the assassination, Liu Yucai noticed that Dong Zhuo's friendship had reached 50.

Dong Zhuo is suspicious by nature, it is not easy to get his friendliness.

"It seems that the deliberate performances before have been very successful in gaining Dong Zhuo's trust, and he came to see me tonight because he has the intention of attracting me?"

So after calming down, Liu Yu put on a flattering expression again.

Liu Yu said: "I was supposed to go down to the palace to meet the Grand Master, but Han Changshi said that you are busy with important matters, so you can only wait for the summons and dare not disturb the Grand Master."

Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile after hearing this, and replied: "Well, I don't blame Muzhi for this matter, it was indeed me who asked Han Rang to say that before, now that I have finished my important work, let's see what is so special about Muzhi's small courtyard In this place, the Taiwei’s Mansion can’t help but insist on returning here.”

Liu Yu heard that there was something in Dong Zhuo's words, but because Han Rang and Guo Si didn't mention anything about Taiwei's Mansion to him at all, he didn't understand the deep meaning of Dong Zhuo's words.

So he changed the topic and called Liu Bei and the butler Laifu.

"Uncle Fu quickly ordered someone to kill chickens and sheep. Tonight I have to treat our Grand Master well."

"This...but there are no chickens and sheep at home, and the market has already closed at this time...and our family has a lot of copper coins."

Seeing the timidity and embarrassment on Laifu's face, Liu Yu had an idea and thought of Cui Di and Zhou Fang who were asking for debts from the Huangfu family.

"Since the market is closed, let's ask Xuande to bring some food to Zhou's or Cui's to exchange for some meat and vegetables!"

Liu Yu was very enthusiastic about entertaining, Dong Zhuo liked it very much when he saw it, but in the end he waved his hand to stop it.

"Forget Muzhi, the fine grains that Xu Rong gave you are very rare nowadays, and it would be a waste to exchange them for meat. Besides, I'm here tonight for a secret private visit, so don't make a fuss and let others know!"

Liu Yu was shocked when he heard the words, Dong Zhuo actually knew that Xu Rong had sent him fine grains, but when Ma Teng came, it was packed in a carriage and covered with a curtain, so he couldn't see what was inside unless he opened it.

Could it be that Xu Rongjun has Dong Zhuo's eyeliner.

Or maybe Dong Zhuo's secret whistle is hidden in this alley?

Just now Liu Yu suspected that there should be hidden guards in the alley, but now it seems that there must be a secret stronghold set up by Dong Zhuo in this alley.

Just as Liu Yu was thinking about these issues in his mind, Niu Fu stepped forward and said, "I won't eat, Muzhi should find a quiet room, Master Grand Master has some confidential matters to discuss with you!"

Hearing what Niu Fu said was very cautious, Liu Yu quickly pushed back his subordinates.

"Also ask the grand master to discuss in detail in the front hall!"

In the front hall, Dong Zhuo and Niu Fu sat down one by one, and then Liu Yu poured tea for them respectively, and then stood aside.

"Why doesn't Muzhi sit down?"

"The Grand Master is here, how can I sit down here?"

Dong Zhuo laughed happily when he heard this, because Liu Yu was clearly exercising the etiquette of his subordinates to their superiors.

Dong Zhuo said: "When I was in Hulao, I asked Muzhi if he would be willing to serve as a general under my command, but you politely refused. Later, in your letter to me, you mentioned that you wanted to be a general in the Xiliang Army. I mean, this is somewhat inconsistent with the previous one, I don’t know how Muzhi can explain it?”

Liu Yu knew that Dong Zhuo would ask this question a long time ago, so he explained in a calm and unhurried manner: "The last time I was in Hulaoguan before I made an inch of merit, how could I have the cheek to ask for an official title? Staying in Hulao Pass to guard the city, fortunately not disgraceful, repelling all the armies of the princes, that's why I dared to write a letter to ask the grand master to give me a favorite official position."

The king of Zhongshan is just a title, and he has almost no rights if he does not go to the fiefdom.

So at this time Liu Yu is still only the commander of the Habayashi Army, just a miscellaneous general.

"Hahaha, Mu Zhi's words are quite honest, I like your directness!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and praised a few more words, and then gradually put away his smile.

Dong Zhuo asked: "From what Muzhi said, it seems that you don't really want to go to the fiefdom to enjoy the blessings, so do you plan to become a general in the army, or do you want to become a high official in the court?"

Seeing the change in Dong Zhuo's demeanor, Liu Yuxin guessed that he was going to start recruiting himself?
So Liu Yu replied after a little thought: "I don't know much about the affairs of the court, so I still want to serve in the army."

Dong Zhuo looked at Niu Fu next to him with a relaxed expression, and Niu Fu nodded in agreement.

Dong Zhuo continued to ask: "The prestige of Muzhi in the First Battle of Hulaoguan is as high as that of my son Fengxian. If you are asked to give up the title of commander of the Habayashi Army and serve in our Xiliang Army, would you be willing?"

Hearing this, Liu Yu gave him a military salute without even thinking about it, and then replied: "The Grand Master is highly respected and far-sighted. He is the idol that young people like me should follow, and the Xiliang Army is where the tiger and wolf division can go." The appointment is exactly what I want!"

After hearing Liu Yu's statement, Dong Zhuo even said three good words.

"Okay, okay, okay! I'm just waiting for Muzhi's words. From now on, you will replace Fan Silk and form the new Four King Kongs of the Xiliang Army with Li Jue, Guo Si, and Xu Rong. Li Fansi's old department will be merged into your command!"

"Thank you for the grand master's promotion! In the future, Liu Yu will definitely serve the grand master and the Xiliang army wholeheartedly!"

The Xiliang Four King Kongs are not official positions but a title. The four King Kongs each lead an army, plus Niu Fu's Flying Bear Army and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, which form the six regiments of the Xiliang Army.

Liu Yu won the title of one of the Four King Kongs, which also marked that he became the commander of one of the six major corps of the Xiliang Army.

Just when Liu Yu was happy to officially break into the Xiliang Army, Dong Zhuo suddenly proposed a new appointment.

I heard Dong Zhuo say: "This Grand Master knows that Muzhi not only has the ability to command troops, but also is very good at planning and planning, so in addition to making you one of the Four King Kong, I am going to give you a secret errand!"
