Chapter 338 Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not inferior either!

When Jia Xu was brought to see Chen Ran, his eyes were confused and puzzled.

"What does the Zhonglang General want from me?"

In order to win over Chen Ran, Dong Zhuo not only gave him the Red Hare, gold, silver and jewelry, but also requested the court to appoint him as the Eastern General of the Army, one of the Four Generals of the Army.

Now he is an official appointed by the imperial court.

'I met Jia Xu, a character in the novel. He is very intelligent and has a sharp eye. However, he has an extreme personality and likes to use tricks to destroy a family. He has never known what virtue is. He is one of Cao Cao's important advisers.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'

This is too simple. Just change 'under Cao Cao' to 'under Chen Ran'.

Jia Xu's eyes gradually became clear.

I just felt that the person in front of me was majestic and had a domineering demeanor. He was clearly the wise leader I had been looking for for a long time~~~
"Jia Weiyuan (official title: Taiweiyuan)" Chen Ran smiled, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. Are you willing to follow me and create a prosperous world together?"

Jia Xu bowed solemnly and said, "I am willing to serve you as a general and serve you like a dog or a horse~"

At the same time, a group of people were still holding a meeting at the residence of Grand Tutor Yuan Wei.

"Meng De, what happened to you?" Seeing his good friend covering his head and crying in pain, Yuan Shao worriedly asked someone to call a medical officer.

"Nothing serious." Cao Cao wiped his eyes. "I don't know why, but I just have a severe headache. I feel very panicked, as if I lost something important. It will be fine after a while."

"You have a migraine." Yuan Shu gloated, "I heard that this disease has no cure, haha~~~"

"Shut up!"

Yuan Shao glared at him and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will not let you off easily!"

"You~~~"

Yuan Shu was shaking with anger. He was the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao, who was born as a bastard, dared to treat him like this for a small figure from a vassal family!
"That's enough. We've been quarreling all day. It's already late." Yuan Wei was very dissatisfied. "Ding Yuan is no longer a good person. Let's think about how to deal with that ungrateful person first."

As they were talking, a servant came in to report, "Something bad has happened. News has come from outside the city that Ding Yuan was killed by his adopted son, Lu Bu!"

"what?!"

Everyone was horrified, and Yuan Wei stood up in such a hurry that he even knocked over the table in front of him. The wine glass rolled over and the emerald green wine spilled all over the floor.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"It is said that Dong Zhuo secretly bribed Lu Bu. Now that Ding Yuan is dead, Lu Bu brought the Bingzhou troops to join Dong Zhuo."

"This is bad news." Yuan Wei frowned. "In this case, doesn't that mean that ungrateful wolf has tens of thousands of troops?"

"Uncle, don't panic."

Yuan Shao was calm and said, "We still have the Xiyuan soldiers in our hands, and we will also recruit He Jin's old troops, so we are not afraid."

"Hey."

Yuan Shu on the side sneered, "Are you thinking of recruiting soldiers now? It's too late! The news I got is that all of He Jin's former subordinates have been recruited by others."

"How is that possible?" Yuan Shao shook his head. "That's tens of thousands of troops. Who can afford to support them?"

"It is Chen Ran, the man who defeated Lu Bu, Chen Zihou!"

Yuan Shu's words were half right and half wrong.

Tens of thousands of field troops were indeed incorporated, but Chen Ran only incorporated one third of them, and the rest were taken away by various units of the Xiliang Army.

It’s not that Chen Ran didn’t want to recruit more people, but Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had a tight control over the logistics, and only sent him three days’ worth of military rations each time.

It is possible to recruit them by force, but if there is not enough rations, they will definitely run away.

He did have rice and duck in his hands, but if tens of thousands of people were to eat together, how long would it last?
He used these things to win people's hearts and used them as rewards.

For example, every soldier who was recruited could get a share, but there was only one share.

Fortunately, Jia Xu was very helpful and directly rewarded 100,000 whole roasted lambs.

Perhaps this is because Jia Xu was born in Xiliang?

However, Chen Ran was not very clear about the specific reward mechanism.

With the roasted whole lamb, Chen Ran took out a portion to reward the entire army, with each person in the squad eating one.

The biggest feature of the food provided by the system is that it is very rich in seasoning.

The extensive use of various seasonings and spices was something that only the nobles were entitled to enjoy in that era.

Even many seasonings and spices were not available in this era.

It was precisely because of the endless supply of delicious food on Chen Ran's side that the soldiers from the Southern and Northern armies voluntarily surrendered.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to annex more than 10,000 of the Han Dynasty's most elite troops.

On this day, Chen Ran, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others were enjoying a delicious roasted whole lamb in the camp, but Li Ru came to visit again.

"The lord will hold a banquet in the province tomorrow, and everyone needs to attend."

Looking at Li Ru who was sniffling while talking, Chen Ran smiled and gestured, "Sit down and eat together?"

Li Ru really wanted to sit down and eat and drink. He had never tasted such a fragrant roasted lamb before.

But it really doesn't work.

He shook his head and said, "I still have things to do, General Zhonglang, please don't delay tomorrow."

After that, he turned around and left.

Jia Xu wiped his hands and said slowly, "Ding Yuan has been eliminated, and the northern and southern armies are both in the hands of Dongzhou Mu. The Xiyuan Army is nothing to worry about. Dongzhou Mu, this is going to be a big deal."

"Yes." Chen Ran nodded in agreement. "We just need to follow suit and get the benefits. Anyway, the court is controlled by the aristocratic families and the official families. The fights between them have nothing to do with us."

The next day, Dong Zhuo held a grand banquet for his ministers. Chen Ran brought his civil and military officials to eat and drink, and took the initiative to find a corner to watch the fun.

There was a big drama right from the start. Lu Bu took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Dong Zhuo, "If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your foster father~~~"

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran couldn't help but laugh. What a classic scene.

Dong Zhuo happily agreed, gave him golden armor and brocade robes, and recognized him as his adopted son and made him always by his side.

On the one hand, it is because Lu Bu is strong enough. Except for the fact that he cannot beat Chen Ran, his strength makes him very suitable to be a bodyguard.

The more important reason was that the Bingzhou soldiers led by Lu Bu were very powerful. They were not at all inferior to the Xiliang Cavalry and even had the ability to suppress them.

To conquer Lu Bu is to conquer this powerful army.

Not only can it deal with a number of aristocratic families, but it can also pose a certain threat to Chen Ran, who is gradually becoming more and more powerful.

When Lu Bu stood behind him, the complacent Dong Zhuo began to reward his men on the spot.

He first took command of the Front General, and then appointed his brother Dong Min as the Left General, Lu Bu as the East Army General, and Niu Fu as the General of the Army.
Naturally, Chen Ran was indispensable, and he was appointed General Wuwei, a third-rank miscellaneous general.

These were all Dong Zhuo's own words and he awarded the titles himself without the consent of the court, the emperor and the empress dowager.

Yuan Shao and others all looked very unhappy, which showed that they were simply not taken seriously.

But then, the real anger took over.

"The current emperor is weak." Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Huai provocatively, "You cannot worship the ancestral temple. I want to do what Huo Guang did, depose the emperor and establish another one, and make the Prince of Chenliu the new emperor!"

This is a direct act of abolishing and enthroning!
During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, only one person, Huo Guang, dared to do this.

Even Huo Guang had to use many tricks and go through the necessary procedures before he was able to depose the emperor and establish a new one.

He is nothing like Dong Zhuo, who used his ultimate move right away.

‘Bang! ’

Yuan Shao, unable to contain his anger, slammed the table and kicked it over. "You abolished the legitimate heir and enthroned a concubine as the heir. This is rebellion!"

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard this, thinking, "You, Yuan Shao, are also a bastard~~~"

Seeing someone dare to oppose his authority, Dong Zhuo stood up in anger, drew his sword and shouted, "Do you think my sword is not sharp?!"

Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked and praised Dong Zhuo for his courage.

That's right, everyone was thinking, 'You Dong Zhuo are really awesome, you actually dared to draw your sword against Yuan Shao!'

You have to know that that was Yuan Shao, the actual head of the Yuan family.

The Yuan family is a prominent family in the world and a top representative of aristocratic families.

Almost all counties and even states in Hebei were under the powerful influence of the Yuan family.

They can easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, open warehouses everywhere, and even have enough supplies to last the entire Han Dynasty for several years!

Not to mention the powerful influence of the Yuan family, there are countless people in the world willing to follow them.

Four generations of their family have been top ministers in the imperial court for hundreds of years, and the power passed down from four generations is so astonishing.

How could Dong Zhuo, a mere local tyrant, dare to draw his sword against Yuan Shao?
"You are courageous and bold, you are awesome!"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo, this ungrateful bastard, was really going to rebel, Yuan Shao also got angry and drew his sword, "Your sword is sharp, but mine is not bad either!"

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Dong Zhuo really wanted to kill Yuan Shao, but Li Ru held him back and shook his head slightly.

The Yuan family is a huge family. Even if Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and even Yuan Huai were killed, there are still many members of the Yuan family.

But if you really do that, you will offend everyone in the world.

By then, if Yuan raises his hand and the whole world follows him, things will be very bad.

There is no way. The so-called aristocratic families are not just those officials in the court. Their foundation is as strong as that of the country.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo did not move, Yuan Shao sneered, turned and left.

Many soldiers were deployed in advance, and no one dared to stop them.

After calming down, Dong Zhuo also realized how terrifying the Yuan family was.

When he went to quell the Qiang rebellion, the imperial court spent billions of dollars.

But the Yuan family has more than tens of billions of money!
There were millions of people who depended on the land owned by Yuan for their livelihood. Military supplies and fodder of all kinds were piled up like mountains, and officials from all over the country were willing to follow him.

Once you become enemies with them, start fighting.
Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully and decided that he could not offend such a terrible family as Yuan.

He instructed Li Ru to "appoint Yuan Shao as governor of Bohai."

Since it's difficult to deal with, just send it away from there.

The incident involving Yuan Shao soon passed, and no one dared to oppose Dong Zhuo's dominance anymore.

After all, not everyone comes from a family with three generations of officials.

The next step was to depose and enthrone the emperor, demand that the empress dowager return the power of the government, etc.

Li Ru found Chen Ran and said simply, "It's time to get things done."

Dong Zhuo was cruel, but he was not stupid. He knew the use of reputation.

Therefore, the dirty work of killing the emperor and the empress dowager naturally had to be handed over to others.

Li Ru also said clearly, "The Empress Dowager is yours, but the Emperor must die!"
