At this moment, Dong Zhuo couldn't close his mouth because of the great victory at Mushui Pass.
"Wenyou, I didn't expect my Dong clan to have a Saint Child. The Heavenly Dao is blessing me, Dong Zhuo!”
Dong Zhuo was a hero of Liangzhou and had the potential to be a formidable person. He had been a general of Xiliang all the way to the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty.
Whether it was martial strength, intelligence, emotional intelligence, or scheming, he was a hero of the era!
However, Dong Zhuo seemed to have used up hundreds of years of luck of the Dong Clan, and there was not a single talented person in the clan.
Even his younger brother Dong Min and nephew Dong Huang were only mediocre people. Because they were loyal enough, they could temporarily take on important tasks.
None of his sons were successful!
Each of them was more skilled at fighting cocks, riding horses, drinking, and brothels!
Only his two sons-in-law, Li Ru and Niu Fu, were able to take on such a great responsibility!
Even his granddaughter, Dong Bai, was not Dong Zhuo's biological son. It was rare to see someone with such a spiritual aura in the clan. He was adopted!
As for Dong Cheng.
Dong Zhuo loved his granddaughter, Dong Bai, and Dong Bai strongly recommended Dong Cheng. With the mentality of giving Dong Cheng a chance to gain experience, Dong Zhuo let Dong Cheng guard Mushui Pass.
In order to avoid delaying the military affairs because of nepotism, Dong Zhuo had specially asked Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Su, and Zhao Cen to assist Dong Cheng.
Hwa Xiong had Dong Zhuo's secret order.
Once Dong Cheng was unable to take on the great responsibility, Hua Xiong could replace him!
"Congratulations, Prime Minister. Although Bao Zhong is incompetent, you can't deny Commandant Dong's ability!”
Li Ru had met Dong Cheng a few times before. Although he had some admiration for Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng being able to kill a general and seize the flag was still beyond Li Ru's expectations!
Dong Zhuo twirled his beard.
"Wenyou, I intend to confer Dong Cheng the title of governor and officially guard Mushui Pass to resist the rebel alliance. What do you think?”
Dong Zhuo's meaning was equivalent to nullifying Hwa Xiong's secret order.
From today onwards, even Hwa Xiong had to obey Dong Cheng's commands willingly!
In Dong Zhuo's heart, he was already qualified to guard a region!
Since the Dong clan had a Saint Child, Dong Zhuo naturally had to nurture him with all his might!
Otherwise…
With his good-for-nothing younger brother and a bunch of sons and nephews who only knew how to enjoy themselves, once something happened to Dong Zhuo, the entire Dong Clan would face a catastrophe!
Although…
The heir would usually be chosen from the sons.
However, Dong Zhuo was not an ordinary person. He dared to become the prime minister of the Great Han Dynasty as a general of Western Liang. He was a ruthless man who had power in the court. He had always cared about benefits.
Dong Zhuo would rather slaughter his sons than hand over such a huge business to a bunch of fools who only knew how to enjoy themselves!
Otherwise, their ancestral graves would be dug up by their enemies one day!
"Prime Minister, since Commandant Dong has already shown his ability, why don't we let him show a little more?”
"Not only do I have to be promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief, but I also have to have all the weapons and rations!”
Li Ru was good at observing people's expressions. At this moment, Dong Zhuo had already made up his mind. Asking Li Ru was just a formality!
At this moment.
Dong Bai knocked and entered.
"Grandfather, this is the new tea that Xiao Bai made.”
"Eh, Uncle Wenyou is here too? However, Xiao Bai has prepared a set this time. I'll send someone to send one to your residence later!”
Dong Bai was eloquent and quick-witted.
Although he had trespassed, Dong Zhuo did not blame him. Instead, he happily accepted the new tea that Dong Bai had handed him.
"There's finally new tea! This kind of tea leaves is even more precious than Marshal Yang's collection. After drinking it last time, this old man lost interest in other teas!”
"Of course, this was invented by Brother Cheng. How can that sour scholar compare to it!”
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, having already guessed Dong Bai's intentions.
Li Ru smiled and shook his head, skillfully making tea.
"Girl, tell me, what benefits do you want to get for your Brother Cheng this time?" Dong Zhuo asked with a smile. I agreed to your request and let him guard the Mushui Pass!”
Dong Bai walked behind Dong Zhuo, picked up the massage hammer, and massaged Dong Zhuo's shoulders and back.
"Grandfather, Big Brother Cheng wants to build a personal guard camp, so he definitely doesn't have enough armor. Thus, I want to ask for a few complete sets of armor for Big Brother Cheng.”
"How many? Simple, I'll get someone to send 20 sets to Mushui Pass!”
Dong Bai's movements instantly froze, and his tone was somewhat resentful.
"Grandfather!"
Dong Zhuo laughed.
"Last time, in order to test Dong Cheng, I deliberately didn't allocate any weapons and armor. Instead, this kid thought that I, the Great Han Dynasty's Prime Minister, couldn't even bear to give up a few sets of weapons and armor!”
"To put it bluntly, how much do you want this time?"
Dong Bai was overjoyed.
"Not a lot! 300 iron shields, 300 one-handed iron sabers, 300 heavy infantry armor, 300 large iron halberds, 300 light archer armor, 300 strong bows, 300 hard crossbows, 100,000 arrows, 30,000 crossbow bolts, 300 heavy cavalry armor, 900 good Dawan horses, 300 three-pointed double-edged sabers, 300 light cavalry bows, and 30,000 javelins.”
"Yes. Prepare a set of each of the eighteen weapons used by generals.”
"That's probably it. It's not much, right?"
Dong Bai's voice grew softer and softer.
