The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 46 Zhong Yao
Dong Zhuo looked at the young man in front of him, dragging his fat body, and asked slightly dissatisfied: "General, are you unwilling to guard the Eastern Capital?"

"The general will go wherever the prime minister tells him to go, and he will hit wherever the prime minister points. The general is just worried that he will not be able to complete the important task entrusted by the prime minister, and is terrified." Qin Shou said quickly.

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into laughter, feeling very happy in his heart.

He was in a high position, and he didn't know how many flattering words he had heard, but he had never heard such remarks before, and he suddenly felt particularly happy.

"Tell me! What do you need?" Dong Zhuo said immediately when he was happy.

"Prime Minister, I don't know what the mission of the general is when he goes to Luoyang. If it is just to defend Guandong, the general will only need food and some money and food immediately. If the general is to be self-sufficient in the future, then he will need manpower."

Qin Shou said immediately.

"You can find the manpower yourself. You can find Li Ru for money and food. I only need the results. Defend Luoyang. If possible, plunder Guandong." Dong Zhuo said with a cold snort: "Hua Xiong's troops and horses are under your command."

"The general understands."

Qin Shou quickly responded.

"Okay, you go back! After we get married, we will set off immediately." Dong Zhuo became a little impatient.

"This, Prime Minister, the general is young and has no heirs. What wife and concubine is this?" Qin Shou was a little worried again.

"I like your father-in-law very much. Having him in the capital is enough!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand indifferently.

According to the rules, a general who goes on an expedition should leave his wife in the capital as a hostage, but Qin Shou is young and has no heirs. The reason is very appropriate. Dong Zhuo can't say anything. The simple thing is that Qin Shou's father-in-law is Cai Yong, and Cai Yong Wherever you need wives and concubines.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Qin Shou hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how to write well, so I'm going to ask my father-in-law to give me some advice! It seems that I only asked my father-in-law to give me some advice after I have a son."

"You!" Dong Zhuo pointed at Qin Shou and chuckled: "Go!"

"I'll say goodbye." Qin Shou didn't know what Dong Zhuo meant, but he still retreated honestly.

"This boy is really a sincere gentleman. He says whatever he thinks in his heart." Dong Zhuo looked at Qin Shou's back and said: "An ordinary person would never say these words in front of me. The leading general wants to take away his wife. There are no rules in the imperial court."

"I am sincere to you, and my subordinates really appreciate this person." Li Ru walked out from the side and chuckled: "My subordinates have heard about it. He told Cao Cao on the battlefield to stop pursuing him. There was an ambush set up by the Prime Minister, but Cao Cao didn't listen, so he fell into the trap and was almost killed by Qin Shou."

"The traitor Cao is insidious and cunning. After hearing this, he saw that Qin Yilu had only thousands of troops around him. He wanted to surround him and annihilate him, but he never thought that I had actually laid an ambush. This Yilu! He is still too honest." Dong Zhuo also shook his head.

"Yes! He actually came to the Prime Minister to ask for someone." Li Ru shook his head. ,

The people under Dong Zhuo wish they had their own people in the army so that they can control the army more easily. Look at Qin Shou's subordinates. What you give him will be what he takes.

Luoyang was in ruins and without any oil or water. No one in Dong Zhuo's army was willing to go there. When he gave the order, Qin Shou accepted the order without hesitation.

This is much better than others.

Dong Zhuo now no longer trusts the Kwantung people, especially those party members.

On the contrary, Qin Shou was like this. He said whatever he wanted. Unlike those party members, the other party always spoke in a cloudy manner, and what he said was incomprehensible.

This is the main reason why Dong Zhuo believes in Qin Shou.

Qin Shou left the mansion, thought for a while, and led his soldiers to the Zhong family's mansion.

Although Guanzhong is dilapidated, it is still very easy for some famous families to find a mansion. Now the person in charge of the Zhong family's mansion is Huangmen Shilang Zhong Yao. He was born in the Zhong family of Yingchuan, a well-known family. In history, this man was both civil and military. He sat in Guanzhong and helped Cao Cao stabilize the northwest. He made great contributions to Cao Wei. Later, he was even entitled to the Ancestral Temple. Not something ordinary people can do.

Qin Shou was not sure whether he could invite this person to come out.

In the main hall, Zhong Yao was teasing his eldest son and talking to his younger brother Zhong Yan. He was very surprised when he heard that General Xiaoqi asked for an audience.

"Brother, I'm just a subordinate of Thief Dong, forget it!" Zhong Yan couldn't hide his disdain in his words.

As a member of the Yingchuan family, he has the right to despise Qin Shou, even if the other party is now the captain of Henan Yin and Sili.

"Let's meet him!" Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "This Qin Yilu is different from others. The people of Luoyang migrated thousands of miles with very few casualties. This man made great contributions and the people of Luoyang now praise him."

"They're just like the same raccoon dog." Zhong Yan shook his head, picked up Zhong Yu who was playing, and went to the side hall.

Zhong Yao straightened his clothes and went out to greet him in person.

"The lower official Zhong Yao has met the school captain."

When Zhong Yao saw Qin Shou, he also praised him for his good looks. No wonder he was favored by Cai Yong and offered him as his wife.

"Qin took the liberty of visiting me. Please forgive me, sir."

Qin Shou did not show any slightness because of the low official position of the other party. The other party was a famous person, a talented person, and he was even very respectful in his etiquette.

"General, you are too modest. General, please."

Zhong Yao's face was calm, without the slightest joy. He was a capable man after all, and his expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.

When Qin Shou saw this, he sighed in his heart. The more this happens, the harder it is to deal with.

Following Zhong Yao into the hall, the two parties sat down on their knees respectively.

"I wonder if the general is here today. What advice can you give me?"

Zhong Yao asked.

"I want to rebuild the Eastern Capital, but I have no one to help me. I have come here to ask you to help." Qin Shou did not hide anything, and said: "The Prime Minister burned the Eastern Capital, and the ancient capital became ruins; on Mang Mountain, the imperial mausoleum was destroyed, and the dignity of the Han Dynasty was trampled on the ground. , Qin wanted to rebuild the Eastern Capital and continue the glory of the Han Dynasty."

Zhong Yao trembled in his heart after hearing this. He guessed that Qin Shou wanted to ask him to help, but he didn't expect Qin Shou to say such words.

"The Prime Minister has many talents under his command, but the subordinate officials are sparse and have little knowledge, which may ruin the general's affairs." In any case, Zhong Yao refused first.

"Qin asked Mr. to go to Luoyang. Of course he wanted to ask for his help, but in fact he wanted to save his life. Mr. is smart and must have understood the current situation. Too strong will be easy to break. The prime minister can manage the army, but not the country. The two Within this year, there will definitely be chaos in Guanzhong. At that time, where should you go, sir, and where should your majesty go?"

"A certain person wants to rebuild the Eastern Capital. In fact, he also wants to return the emperor to the Eastern Capital one day."

Qin Shou's words seemed very sincere.

"Sure?"

Zhong Yao exclaimed in surprise.
