After Li Ru received Hua Xiong's letter, he felt that what Hua Xiong said was very reasonable, so he found Jia Xu and met Dong Zhuo late at night.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was with his two wives and concubines. The guards outside his room were all blushing as they imagined their wives and concubines.
"Lord Prime Minister, Lord Li Ru has something important to ask for an audience.”
A voice that didn't know the timing immediately silenced the noise in the room. Dong Zhuo was about to fly into a rage, but when he heard that Li Ru wanted to see him, he immediately frowned. Li Ru must have something important to attend to at this time.
"Please entertain me well," said Dong Zhuo."I'll be right there."”
Dong Zhuo picked up his robe and put it on. The two wives and concubines beside him pestered him. Dong Zhuo pinched them a few times and said,"Don't make a fuss. Li Ru must have something important to do. I'll be back soon!”
"Seriously, coming here in the middle of the night, spoiling the mood.”
Dong Zhuo immediately put on a stern face and said,"If it was someone else, this minister wouldn't care. Li Ru is my good son-in-law and has helped this minister a lot.”
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he rushed to see Li Ru. When he arrived at the meeting hall, he found that besides Li Ru, Jia Xu was also there. His heart suddenly trembled. It seemed that it was indeed a very important matter. Otherwise, Li Ru would never have invited Mr. Wen He.
"Mr. Wen He is also here. Virtuous son-in-law, is there something urgent?”Before Li Ru and the others could speak, Dong Zhuo had already asked the question and went straight to the point.
"Replying to the Prime Minister, there is indeed an urgent matter. Please read this letter!”Li Ru handed over Majestic Hero's letter.
Dong Zhuo read Majestic Hero's letter and frowned. The content of the letter did not make him unhappy, but there was something he was unhappy about. He knew that this matter could be serious or minor. If he lost the pass, Luoyang would be in danger, and his life would be in danger. It seemed that his plan to preserve his strength was going to fail. After Dong Zhuo finished reading the letter, he handed it to Jia Xu and said,"Since Mr. Wen He is here, let's take a look! This matter is very important. I want to send Lu Bu to meet the enemy at Mushui Pass. What do you think?”
Li Ru thought for a moment. Lu Bu going to Mushui Pass could be considered as a strong reinforcement. It seemed that the lord was aware of the big picture and knew the importance of Hulao Pass and Mushui Pass. Li Ru immediately agreed,"If that's the case, we should have no worries!" However, there is one thing that I would like to ask the Prime Minister to do as well.”
"Oh! What's the matter?" Dong Zhuo was puzzled.
"Hua Xiong has made many contributions in the past, and now he has helped General Dong defend Hulao Pass. From this letter, we can see that Hua Xiong is very loyal to the war and is a rare talent. The Prime Minister should treat him well to comfort his army.”Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo nodded his head repeatedly. He thought that Hua Xiong was not simple. His words were sincere and he took the overall situation into consideration. He was in Hulao Pass, but he thought about the danger of Shanshui Pass. He thought that he should be rewarded for resisting the alliance army.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo said," Then let's promote Hwa Xiong to the rank of Commander of the Central Army. He will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. I'll leave this matter to you." I want to let people know that whether it is the soldiers of the imperial court or the soldiers of Western Liang, as long as they are loyal to protect me, Dong Zhuo, I will treat them as my own."
"Prime Minister's kindness is greater than the heavens. However, since Hua Xiong wrote this letter to Ru, he must be at odds with General Dong Min. We should not let him be cold. Besides, the enemy is in front of us, and the war is a big one. In my opinion, the Prime Minister should write a letter to General Dong. The letter contains this meaning and asks him to take the overall situation as the most important thing. He must not let small things affect the important matter of guarding the pass.”
Dong Zhuo hadn't thought of this at first, but after Li Ru's reminder, he immediately became unhappy. He said with a dark face,"Dong Min, this fellow, is having an internal conflict with a general. Don't you know that when an army is fighting, internal strife is the most taboo? To think that he is my brother, he is really stupid. Moreover, it is beneath his status to be angry with a low-level general.”
However, this anger disappeared in an instant. He immediately said,"Yes, that's right. I'll write a letter and let you handle it together!”
After he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo instructed someone to grind the ink, and then turned to Jia Xu as usual, asking with a pleasant expression,"Mister Wen He, is this appropriate? Does Mister Wen He have any other ideas?”
Jia Xu heard everything clearly from the side. From Majestic Hero's letter, he saw two points: One was that Dong and Hua were not on good terms, and the other was that Hua Xiong was different from other generals. If it was an ordinary general, he would definitely want to kill more enemy generals and use his battle achievements to overwhelm everything. However, Hwa Xiong was not like that. This letter was enough to show his scheming.
Thinking of this, Jia Xu secretly said,"I didn't see that this Hua Xiong has some talent."”
Jia Xu glanced at Dong Zhuo. He didn't think highly of this person. He thought of the various aspects of Dong Zhuo that he couldn't be a monarch. He made a decision in his heart. Heroes came from troubled times. How could there be no wise people under Dong Zhuo? It would be better to help Hua Xiong and see how capable he was! If the allied army attacked Mushui Pass, with Lu Bu's personality and the lack of strategists to suppress him, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated. If Hwa Xiong could beat him at his own game and achieve something big, then he would not be letting down his own efforts.
After making a decision in an instant, Jia Xu said,"Prime Minister's actions are all good. However, Xu had an idea. Hua Xiong had the talent of a general, but he only had 5,000 imperial horse infantry, so what he could do was limited. He might as well use this opportunity to reward him and give him some Xi Liang cavalry. On the one hand, it can help him repel the enemy. On the other hand, he must be grateful to the Prime Minister for treating him with his own cavalry. In the future, he will be the Prime Minister's loyal servant.”
"Mr. Wen He is right. Let's do it this way."
Li Ru faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only agree with Dong Zhuo.
Li Quan's reaction was one of shock! A letter was able to make Jia Xu express such an opinion, wasn't this Hwa Xiong also too amazing? Could it be that Jia Xu and Hua Xiong were on good terms? But he had never heard of it!
Jia Xu lowered his head slightly, his gaze taking in the expressions of the three people. Jia Xu sighed in his heart." Hua Xiong, oh Hua Xiong, I've done you a great favor today. Otherwise, with just the pitiful armaments of the Imperial Court's army, even if you have heavenly talent, it would be difficult for you to achieve anything great. I hope you can make good use of it."”
Seeing that Li Ru had no objections, Dong Zhuo continued,"I'll leave this matter to you! It must be done tonight! I'll immediately send someone to inform Fengxian to set off for Mushui Pass tonight.”
After sending off Li Ru and Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo returned to his backyard. Not long after, the sounds of birds and birds were heard again.
Outside Dong Zhuo's residence, Jia Xu suddenly stopped Li Ru."Lord Li, please wait. I have something to say.”
Li Ru was puzzled, but he still bowed respectfully and said,"Mr. Wen He!"
"Lord Li, in your opinion, is Lu Bu reliable enough to guard Lishui Pass?" Jia Xu asked.”
Li Ru was startled, and he immediately recalled Lu Bu's past actions.
Letting Lu Bu guard it was indeed unreliable!
Li Ru immediately wanted to drag Jia Xu into the Prime Minister's residence to discuss, but on second thought, who was Jia Xu? Now that he said it, he must have a plan in his heart.
Hence, Li Ru said,"Mister Wen He's words woke me up from my dream. I wonder if Mister Wen He has any plans?"”
Jia Xu felt slightly regretful in his heart."This Li Ru is actually a person of high intelligence. Although he doesn't have many battle strategies, his internal affairs are not simple. It's a pity that he followed Dong Zhuo and committed treason when his foundation wasn't stable.”
Although it was a pity, Jia Xu still said,"Lu Bu's bravery is indeed enough to raise the morale of the soldiers in the Mushui Pass, but others don't know Lu Bu's shortcomings, but do you think we don't know? Lu Bu had always been impulsive, and only the Prime Minister and Lord Li could suppress him. However, Lord Li was unable to split himself, and the Prime Minister could not personally lead the army. Lu Bu is guarding the Si River. It's dangerous."
"Did Mister Wen He teach me?"
"I don't dare to teach. Xu had a plan. Although it might not be able to resolve the danger, it could make up for it.”
"I'd like to hear Mr. Wen He's wise opinion!" Li Ru said happily.”
"Lord Li can write to Hua Xiong and let him act according to the situation. I believe that with his ability, he will be able to help with the matter at Mushui Pass.”
Li Ru was stunned for a moment before he laughed loudly and said,"So Mister Wen He is here to ask for troops for Hwa Xiong. I understand."
*****************
The next day, news of Luoyang came from Tiger Cage Pass.
Hua Xiong, the commander of the cavalry, defeated Sun Jian and killed Bao Zhong at Mishui Pass. His achievements were remarkable. Outside Hulao Pass, he once again depressed the morale of the rebels. He was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief with a reward of 100 taels. In addition, he specially gave Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry 500 taels as an incentive.
Majestic Hero had thought that he would only be given a promotion and some money, but he had never expected Dong Zhuo to give him 500 of the strongest soldiers in the country, the Western Liang Cavalry.
Majestic Hero was so happy that he praised himself for his good character, completely unaware that it was Jia Xu's intention behind it. However, if Jia Xu knew that Majestic Hero was going to transform the Xi Liang Cavalry into Breaking Ranks Cavalry, he would probably be surprised.
According to Majestic Hero's modern thinking, if he could train the Heavy Infantry of the Breaking Ranks, then it was not a dream to train the Western Liang Cavalry into Breaking Ranks Cavalry.
Majestic Hero did as he thought. He immediately called Gao Shun over and told him his thoughts. Then, he instructed Gao Shun to train the Western Liang cavalrymen according to the method of the Breaking Ranks Camp.
If some people are happy, there must be others who are sad.
Dong Min was that sad person. He, Dong Zhuo's kin, had never been assigned a single Western Liang Steel Cavalry, but this newly emerged Hua Xiong actually had one?
Dong Zhuo had warned Dong Min in his letter not to compete with Majestic Hero. That was because it was no different from a master snatching food from his own dog. It was really stupid.
However, the narrow-minded Dong Min was still not convinced. Even a guard dog has such treatment? What about me?
While Dong Min was reading the letter, Majestic Hero was also reading Li Ru's reply. As expected by Majestic Hero, Dong Zhuo had sent Lü Bu to Mushui Pass.
When he saw Lu Bu's name, Majestic Hero's heart was filled with excitement. Majestic Hero was well aware of Lu Bu's strength. However, when he thought of Lu Bu leading his troops to defend Mushui Pass, he wondered if Lu Bu would be able to defend it without Chen Gong's help.
However, what Li Ruxin said next made Majestic Hero's worries clear.
" Lu Bu is the strongest in the three armies. However, he can be a general, but he is not as good as a commander. The Lishui Pass and the Hulao Pass are equally important. Please pay more attention to him. If there is any change at the Lishui Pass, you can act according to your will and give him the cavalry of Xiliang. That's what I meant."
Majestic Hero finally understood. It turned out that he was given the Western Liang cavalry for this matter.
But why did Li Ru value him so much? Could it be that just 500 cavalry could change the outcome of the battle? Li Ru thinks too highly of me!
This time, the person in charge of delivering the letter was Li Ru's main registrar, Li Quan. He had been paying attention to Hwa Xiong's behavior ever since he entered Tiger Cage Pass. Only after Hua Xiong finished reading Li Ru's letter did Li Quan probe,"These 500 elite cavalry are the best of the best. Now give it to the governor, you can see the prime minister's appreciation of the governor, but also hope that the governor can make good use of it, do not live up to the prime minister and Lord Li Ru's expectations. This hundred taels of gold was also for the Commander-in-Chief.:
When Majestic Hero saw the hundred taels of gold, he immediately opened it up. The gold ingots were glistening under the sunlight, and Majestic Hero was dumbfounded.
He was only a student in his later life, so he had never seen so much gold, let alone gold ingots. For a moment, Majestic Hero's eyes flashed with amazement. He wondered how much the gold would be worth if it was converted into RMB.
Seeing Majestic Hero like this, Li Quan was slightly disappointed. He thought to himself," This Majestic Hero is not good at being an official. It seems that he is greedy for money. Although everyone likes wealth, there is no need to show it on his face. He is just a general!" It was okay to use it for the time being, but it was probably not considered enough to put it in an important position.
This time, Li Quan had come here partly because he was curious about Majestic Hero, and partly because he wanted to help Li Ru identify Majestic Hero. Right now, his impression of Majestic Hero was really not good.
Majestic Hero quickly regained his senses. Looking at Li Quan, Li Quan pretended to look elsewhere. A thought immediately came to Majestic Hero's mind, but he could not bear to do so. Give him this hundred gold taels? He wanted him to put in a good word for him in front of Li Ru? A hundred taels of gold! This is the first time I've seen so much gold in my life. A few grams of jewelry in a jewelry store cost thousands of dollars. Now it's a whole hundred taels.
Majestic Hero struggled in his heart. After a long while, he finally made a decision. If she couldn't bear to part with the child, she wouldn't be able to catch the wolf. She didn't please him just now, but now she was using this substantial thing to please him. Relationship was the most important.
Majestic Hero smiled and said," Master Li, I'm not familiar with you. I don't know how to thank you for your hard work. I'll give you this hundred taels of gold as a gift to show my gratitude. Please accept it."”
Li Quan was shocked by the sudden change. He looked at Majestic Hero with a different expression, and then at the hundred gold taels in front of him. His opinion of Majestic Hero changed drastically.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the smelting technology had yet to take shape, so gold and silver were not as common as in the later dynasties. In this period, a hundred taels of gold was not a small amount. According to modern prices, it was tens or even millions of money and silk, which could buy a very good mansion.
"This, Governor, this is a gift from the Prime Minister to you. How can I dare to accept it? Moreover, I feel ashamed to accept a hundred taels of gold! This is really inappropriate." Li Quan declined. He was getting more and more confused about Majestic Hero. He said that Majestic Hero knew how to be an official, but Majestic Hero didn't know how to close the gap between them in words. He said that Majestic Hero didn't know how to be an official, but Majestic Hero gave him such a generous gift. It was really hard to understand. The real way of being an official needed to know both sides.
Majestic Hero didn't know what Li Quan was thinking, nor did he know how much a hundred taels of gold was worth. He said,""Then, Lord Li, since the Prime Minister has given it to me, it is mine. I want to use this hundred taels of gold to thank you for your hard work in bringing the armor here. On the other hand, I want to make friends with you. If Lord Li doesn't accept it, then I'll feel bad. Besides, this hundred taels of gold will be useless if it stays with me. It's better to let Lord Li return to Luoyang to do something useful.”
No matter what, Majestic Hero had forced a hundred taels of gold into Li Quan's hands. However, his words made Li Quan secretly gasp. A mere hundred taels of gold. Hwa Xiong's entire fortune probably did not even amount to a hundred taels of gold!
Now, without even blinking, he stuffed such a large amount of gold into his hands. This Hwa Xiong was really unfathomable!
Talent?
Idiot?

The letter contains this meaning and asks him to take the overall situation as the most important thing. He must not let small things affect the important matter of guarding the pass.”

He said that Majestic Hero didn't know how to be an official, but Majestic Hero gave him such a generous gift. It was really hard to understand. The real way of being an official needed to know both sides.
Majestic Hero didn't know what Li Quan was thinking, nor did he know how much a hundred taels of gold was worth. He said,""Then, Lord Li, since the Prime Minister has given it to me, it is mine. I want to use this hundred taels of gold to thank you for your hard work in bringing the armor here. On the other hand, I want to make friends with you. If Lord Li doesn't accept it, then I'll feel bad. Besides, this hundred taels of gold will be useless if it stays with me. It's better to let Lord Li return to Luoyang to do something useful.”
No matter what, Majestic Hero had forced a hundred taels of gold into Li Quan's hands. However, his words made Li Quan secretly gasp. A mere hundred taels of gold. Hwa Xiong's entire fortune probably did not even amount to a hundred taels of gold!
Now, without even blinking, he stuffed such a large amount of gold into his hands. This Hwa Xiong was really unfathomable!
Talent?
Idiot?
