Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 154 Winning the Trust of Guo Si
Just when Liu Yu confirmed that Wang Yue's identity was not an undercover agent, Dong Zhuo was sitting on the main hall in Yong'an Palace in the imperial city, talking with Li Ru and Han Rang about Hu Zhen's overnight absence.

"Hu Zhen hasn't come back. It seems that something happened. What do you think about Wen You?" Dong Zhuo's face was ugly when something happened to his confidant. What made him even more angry was that he sent people to search outside the city for a day, but they didn't find any clues. .

It's really impossible to see people alive or dead.

"Subordinates... I will personally send someone to investigate in Lu Bu's army!" Li Ru knew Dong Zhuo's temper, so it would be useless to talk too much, so he had to hurry up and implement it so as not to anger the person in power.

When Li Ru came out of the palace gate, Han Rang, the resident attendant, came out from the side and said, "I would like to report to my lord, the emperor Wang Yue has not come back, and something may have happened. It's just that the villain can't figure it out. The emperor Wang Yue's The military force is very high, and he is protecting Hu Zhen in secret, who can find and kill him?"

Hu Zhen and the more than 100 people may have been killed by Wei Xu and Hou Cheng's men, but Wang Yue could not be killed with the force of these two men and the force at that time.

Therefore, the name Han Rang hinted at is ready to come out, and it is Lu Bu who has the ability and motive to kill.

But without direct evidence, Dong Zhuo was still reluctant to directly target Lu Bu, after all, Lu Bu was still the strongest general under his command.

Moreover, someone saw Lu Bu staying in the barracks all day and not leaving the city yesterday, which is why Dong Zhuo didn't directly order Lu Bu to be summoned for questioning.

If it wasn't Lu Bu, who would it be?
"Leave this matter to Li Ru to investigate, Han Changshi should stay by the emperor's side more!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand to signal that it's okay to leave.

"The villain obeys!" Han Rang bowed to accept the order, but did not leave immediately.

"Anything else?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Han Rang hesitated for a moment before he dared to speak: "The villain still has something unclear, so I dare to ask the grand master."

Dong Zhuo said without thinking, "It's about Liu Biao!"

"The grand master is really wise and powerful, so you can guess it!" Han Rang flattered him in a timely manner, and then said: "Liu Biao has already entered the capital, why don't you take him down and take back the food in the underground palace by the way?"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo seemed to have known that he would ask this question a long time ago, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Liu Biao is nothing to worry about, and the matter of the mysterious rich businessman is not yet finished, you should continue to do your job well, and there is no need to worry about other things." !"

Seeing that Dong Zhuo seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, Han Rang stopped reminding him, bowed again and returned to the emperor's bedroom.

If Liu Yu was present at this time, he would be shocked. He had just confirmed that Wang Yue was not Dong Zhuo's man, but who would have thought that Han Rang, who had been serving the emperor all the time, was an undercover agent.

So Dong Zhuo not only knew the whole process of the mysterious rich businessman incident, but he was also taking advantage of this storm to engage in some ulterior conspiracy.

……

Two hours later, the bandit army arrived at Hangu Pass.Further west from here is the territory of Hongnong County.

The army was temporarily stationed in Guanli, and Guo Bang led his clan brother Guo Zhen and cousin Han Li to hold a small meeting.

The three of them only talked about the time for a cup of tea while facing the map, and then listened to the voice asking for a meeting from outside the tent. "General Huangfu, please see me!"

Guo Si glanced outside the tent, wondering why Huangfu Song came here?

Although Huangfusong was the orthodox leader of the bandits in honor, the entire Luoyang people knew that he was just a puppet, and when the army left Luoyang Ximen Guo Si directly threw him to the end of the team.

This battle to suppress the bandits was the stepping stone for Guo Si to propose to Dong Zhuo, and he was unwilling to share even the slightest credit with others.

"Could it be that Huangfu Song came here to fight for power?" Guo Zhen frowned and reminded, but Guo Si sneered, "The entire army belongs to me, Guo Bang, what is Huangfu Song fighting against me for? Send him in!"

Huangfu Song opened the curtain and entered the big tent, only to see Guo Si sitting on the coach's seat and looking down at the map as if no one else was around.

And Guo Zhen and Han Li were sitting on both sides, and they didn't get up to give up their seats to him.

Just when the three thought that Huangfusong would blow his nose and stare angrily, Huangfusong humbled the three of them one by one and bowed, saying, "The last general, Huangfusong, pays his respects to the right general!"

Huangfusong was appointed by the imperial court to be the orthodox leader of the bandits, Guo Si was only a deputy, and Huangfusong was one of the three generals at the end of the Han Dynasty. ?
Guo Si didn't understand it, but it was very useful for him to see Huang Fusong, one of the three generals in the late Han Dynasty, salute him respectfully.

So he said with a slightly satisfied tone: "Old General, there is no need to be too polite, just sit down and talk if you have something to say!"

Unexpectedly, Huangfusong bowed to the end again after listening to it, but he was still busy talking about not daring.

"General You, how can I, Huangfusong, have a place here? Although Liu Yu temporarily saved the old man's life this time, the person who can restore the prestige of my Huangfu family is you, General Guo Si! So the last general is special. Come thank you, I hope I can be an old soldier in front of the general!"

This expedition was won by Guo Si's contribution and failed by Huangfusong's fault.So fundamentally, if Huangfusong wants to regain the importance of the court, he must make more contributions in this bandit suppression war.

As for whether he can make meritorious deeds, that's up to Guo Bang.

As soon as Huangfusong finished speaking, he quickly took out a short blade about one foot long from his arms, and held it high above his head.

Han Li and Guo Zhen flinched when they saw the dagger and thought he was going to stab him. They didn't go up to look at the dagger until they saw that Huangfusong was not doing anything wrong.

"This precious blade was obtained by the old man when he conquered the Yellow Turban Bandits. Although the scabbard looks a bit ordinary, the blade is extremely sharp. It is a rare precious blade! Today, it is specially given to the right general. I hope you will accept it! "

Huangfusong started talking nicely since he entered the big tent, not only raised his hand respectfully, but also prepared gifts. At first, Guo Bang thought Huangfusong was here to fight for power, but now it seems that he is clearly here to flatter himself and ask for credit. Asking for a reward, so I feel more satisfied in my heart.

"Then present it to General Ben to see how sharp it is!"

After taking over the short blade, Guo Si let out a light hey.

Because the sheath of ordinary precious blades would be inlaid with jewels, gold and silver to show its prestige, but this one in front of me is really ordinary.

It's just that although the style is ordinary, the material of the scabbard is the only one Guo Si has seen in his life, so he made a surprised sound.

"What is this scabbard made of? It's so special!"

"Reporting to General Guo, this scabbard is made of the fin skin of a giant fish deep in the sea. Although it looks ordinary, it is light and delicate!"

The fins of the deep-sea giant fish are not so good. After the introduction, Guo Si laughed happily on the spot, thinking that the scabbard alone is so special, and the precious blade inside must be no different.

Guo Zhen and Han Li also looked at the hot eyes, and they all urged Guo Bang to pull it out to have a look.

As soon as the short blade came out, a dazzling white light flashed out, so the three people present were stunned by the white light in front of them.

"This precious blade is made of black iron from beyond the sky. After the finished product, its luster is extremely dazzling. I am afraid that there is no other weapon in the world that can shine brighter than it!" Huangfusong explained proudly, but he was thinking in his heart. Another noun, stainless steel!
Yes, this short knife was actually bought by Liu Yu from the system supermarket, and the purpose was for Huangfusong to use it in exchange for Guo Si's trust.

So the scabbard is not made of deep-sea fish fin skin, but plastic.

The dazzling light made Guo Bang very excited, but when he tried the sharpness of the blade, he was shocked again.

"Sure enough, it's a precious blade. I wonder if it has a name?" Guo Si asked excitedly.

Huangfusong recalled it for a while and then replied: "The name of this precious blade is...Watermelon Knife!"
