Dong Zhuo has a strong figure. It is said that when he was recruited as a feather warrior, he was so strong that he could wear two quivers and shoot the bow left and right. But that was more than ten years ago. Today, Dong Zhongying is in his forties.

Although I can still ride a horse and shoot arrows, my waistline is inevitably a bit bigger...

Of course, for a feudal official, such an appearance also adds a bit of power.

In fact, in a certain official temple in Jinyang City, he was sitting on the bed reading a document at this moment. The people standing on the ground below, counting from his son-in-law Niu Fu, all held their breaths.

, not daring to make any movement.

After watching Dong Zhuo smile for a long time and put away the letter, a young scribe with a slender figure and a fair face suddenly passed over the soldiers and attendants, went straight to the front and saluted: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law."

came back."

"Wen You is back." Dong Zhuo, who was on the bed, smiled slightly when he saw the visitor. "How is it?"

"What can we do?" Dong Zhuo's second son-in-law, Li Ru, laughed immediately. "My father-in-law lived in the party without joining the party. He rode into Taiyuan on a light horse. The Taiyuan prefect Wei Jin was so frightened that he thought

What crime were you here to punish him? Then I neither dared to come to see you, nor did you dare not to see him. In the end, I had to send the county magistrate over to pay careful greetings..."

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and the people around him breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing laughing, Dong Zhongying asked again: "Apart from Taiyuan County Magistrate, is there anyone else who comes to visit the official temple?"

"Yes." Li Ru quickly replied. "Just as my son-in-law was about to report back, the Wang family in Taiyuan sent a member of the clan to say that he wanted to invite his father-in-law to a banquet tomorrow. I don't know..."

"Uh..." Dong Zhuo raised his head and thought for a moment after hearing this. "I still have to go."

"Okay." Li Ru agreed quickly.

"You don't know." Dong Zhuo helped the small table on the couch, put on his wooden clogs, and then explained. "I was born in a nearby county, and my family background was very low. I used to be looked down upon by people in Luozhong, but now I have become a prefecture official."

Uncle, although the Wang family met by chance, they are still the first to come to show their kindness to the famous family... Face is something that is given to each other. If they can give it to me, shouldn't I, Dong Zhuo, give it back to others?"

"My father-in-law said yes." Li Ru and Niu Fu beside him both quickly said yes.

"However, since you are the official of Yizhou." Dong Zhuo said as he stopped in front of the outer window, he could see the light drizzle outside the window, as if the autumn rain was approaching. "Not only must you show kindness, but you must also establish your authority! Even establish

Prestige is more important!"

"What do you mean, father-in-law?" Niu Fu couldn't help but be curious.

Dong Zhuo glanced at the other party after hearing this, but couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that the two sons-in-law he brought with him were civil and military.

Li Ru is naturally a standard scribe, with many ideas, and he can also understand people's minds and understand military affairs. But for some reason, his biggest ambition in life is to one day use his own power to get into the court and become a doctor of the Five Classics.

...But isn’t something like a doctor funny?!

As for Niu Fu, he was born in a wealthy family in Xiliang. He naturally has his own set of skills and is considered a standard warrior. In fact, if he dares to fight and fight hard, and has soldiers and horses, he is pretty good. But for some reason, this guy has no brains.

You know, you don’t have any political acumen... you can’t be entrusted with important responsibilities at all!

Of course, fortunately, Dong Zhongying has both brothers and sons. Even before this appointment, his son, who was filial to his mother at home, wrote a letter saying that his daughter-in-law had given him a granddaughter and asked to be named... So,

It's enough if you can use both civil and military skills, and you don't need to be too demanding.

After thinking about this, Dong Zhuo didn't bother to mention it himself: "Wen You told Bo Zheng how to establish his authority!"

The assistant, the small wood of the car, is the thing that supports the car to stand upright... The name and the word are chosen, as if the parents and the elders who gave the name hope that this guy will become a talented person.

"Bo Zheng." Li Ru was straightforward, knowing that there was no way to reason with such a rough man, so he slightly cupped his hands and said an unusually direct sentence. "Since our father-in-law is Uncle Fang, if you want to establish a

It’s actually easy to be powerful... Just drive away a person with two thousand stones and see who else in the state refuses to accept it?!"

Niu Fu suddenly realized: "So we are going to deal with Taiyuan County Sheriff Jin?"

"No." Li Ru said helplessly. "Wei Jin has only been in office for a year, so it's hard to catch him. Besides, this person is so timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Keeping him in Jinyang City will make it easier for my father-in-law to arrest him here.

Quan! If we really drive him away and replace him with a capable one, it will make things more difficult for my father-in-law!"

"Then who are we going to deal with?" Niu Fu became more and more curious. "The Huns' lieutenant general Zang Min... This person named Zang actually has the same name as his uncle... Are we going to deal with someone named Zang? But the person named Zang is a member of Gong Yuan's family after all.

You and your father-in-law are on the same side, right?"

"I didn't say who I must deal with!" Li Ru became more and more helpless. "My father-in-law galloped straight into Jinyang on a light horse, just to scare the nine counties of Bingzhou and the generals and Sima... If they are as timid as this, all of them will

If someone rushes to send envoys to greet them, it doesn't matter if they don't deal with them. But if someone shows off as a celebrity, or refuses to come, or delays, it will naturally cost one or two thousand stones to convince everyone!"

"That's it." Niu Fu finally understood.

The two sons-in-law were talking and talking, but Dong Zhuo just held his belt and looked at the rain that was getting heavier outside the window, not paying attention at all. Until now, he couldn't help but shook his head: "How can it be as simple as you say?

Just as the emperor alone cannot decide the affairs of this world, Bingzhou cannot do whatever he wants as a Fang Bo. Of course, Wen You's principle is generally correct, but you don't know some of the other pros and cons.

"

Li Ru and Niu Fu quickly bowed their heads and made a sign of being taught.

But for some reason, after Dong Zhuo said something, he said no more. The two sons-in-law were embarrassed, but they did not dare to raise their heads.

Once the autumn rain begins, it will continue continuously, but Dong Zhuo stood in front of the window of the official temple, just staring at the rain and reverie... You must know that although the sky is overcast and dark at this time, it is only after noon, and you don't know

How long will Bingzhou Fang Bo stay here?

For a moment, the building belonging to the official temple fell into the same state of breathlessness as before.

"Reply to Uncle Fang!" However, not long after, a Xiliang soldier who was on duty outside suddenly arrived and bowed directly under the rain line in front of the door. "There is... outside..."

"Come in and talk!" Dong Zhuo scolded the other party without waiting for him to finish. "It's raining so heavily, are you just soaking outside? If you die in battle, that's all. If you get sick and die in a foreign country, how can I die in this way when I return to my hometown?

Did your parents explain it?"

"Here!" The soldier's expression moved slightly, and then he immediately took a step into the room, and then continued to report. "Reporting to Uncle Fang, two riders suddenly arrived outside the door. The leader was wearing a black ribbon and a copper seal, and he called himself

Gongsun Xun, the Sima of Yanmen Pingcheng Department, said he had an appointment with Uncle Fang, so he came to see him!"

"How is it possible to have an appointment?" Li Ru was responsible for greeting and seeing off from the front. This matter was his responsibility, so he naturally said it without hesitation. "Uncle Fang only arrived here yesterday evening. Who in Bingzhou can I have an appointment with?"

"This man is indeed arrogant!" Niu Fu also sneered. "Although I am not familiar with Bingzhou, I also know where Pingcheng is. My father-in-law just arrived here yesterday, and he came to pay homage today... How did he come? Could it be that

Did it fly here?"

"I'm afraid I happened to go to Xihe to meet General Zang Zhonglang..." After Li Ru calmed down, he could not help but frown and speculate. "Coming back from this way, I happened to meet my father-in-law here, so he came to curry favor. It can be said that he has

You have sharp eyesight and quick wit. Father-in-law, since you are here to show your kindness, do you want to meet such a person?"

"A Sima from another department..." Niu Fu still disagreed. "There are many sergeants in the nine counties of Bingzhou. They are lacking everything except Sima! As I say, just kick them out!"

"You two brats!" Dong Zhuo sighed. "You really underestimated the heroes of the world... This person really has an appointment with me."

Niu Fu was at a loss and Li Ru was shocked and doubtful, his face turned pale.

"Wen You, please quickly invite Haosheng in," Dong Zhuo ignored the two people's reactions and directly ordered. "Bo Zheng made the bed a little messy, so I will have a good chat with him in the inner room.

chat."

After saying this, the military governor of Xiliang, who was born in Yingchuan, sat back on the couch holding on to his belt.

The autumn rain was pouring, and Gongsun Xun took Han Dang, who was covered in water, and stepped into the room. As soon as he entered, he, the Thousand Stone Sima, took the initiative to bow to the governor who was unofficially a two thousand stone official and called him Uncle Fang.

.

"Oh, Wen Qi is really majestic." Dong Zhuo quickly got off the bed and personally helped Gongsun Xun, who was covered in water. "When I came here, Mr. Yuan and Mr. Liu had an explanation..."

Halfway through the conversation, the two looked at each other, but each was stunned.

It's understandable that Gongsun Xun was stunned. His impression of Dong Zhongying was learned from his mother's mouth. The most impressive thing was the setting of lighting candles in the belly button... So, when they meet at this time, they will naturally be shocked.

Of course, he immediately realized that Dong Zhuo already had the intention of gaining weight, but was it the same thing to gain weight at the beginning and after more than ten years? He could not help but be unfamiliar with it and be preconceived.

"I know Wenqi's reputation, and I have heard Mr. Yuan talk about you." Dong Zhuo also held Gongsun Xun's arms and sighed with emotion. "I also knew you were young, but I didn't expect you to be so young! May I ask Wenqi this year?

Gui Geng?"

"Uncle Fang." After Gongsun Xun regained his senses, he took the opportunity to stare at him. "I have been crowned for less than a year!"

"Oh!" Dong Zhuo exclaimed in great admiration. "This is not a young talent, he is simply a young hero. He has made such great achievements in western Liaoning at such a young age, and has Liu Gong as his support in the court... This future is much brighter than mine.

too much!"

"How dare you compare with Uncle Fang?"

By the way, Gongsun Xun refused, but when he heard the other party's uncontrollable words, his heart couldn't help but move, and he regained a clear understanding of Dong Zhongying - whether he was strong or fat, whether he was a border warlord or a feudal official.

, after all, this person is mostly selfish at heart, and most of his thoughts are about personal achievements.

As soon as he thought about this, he seemed to have a little more confidence in this business.

"Come on, come on." The Fang Bo of Bingzhou personally grabbed Gongsun Xun and asked him to sit on the couch next to him. "Since Wen Qi is here, I will naturally sweep the couch to welcome him!"

Having said that, Dong Zhuo really used his respect as the Fang Bo of Bingzhou to personally clean up the somewhat messy bed.

Gongsun Xun immediately laughed, and then bowed his hands again: "Uncle Fang is so polite, but Xun doesn't dare to sit down!"

"What's the harm?" Dong Zhuo disagreed. "We came from the border counties together, so we don't have to worry about the customs. Look, you are covered in water. Sit down and let the officials in the official temple offer a brazier. It will warm you up."

."

"That's not the case." Gongsun Xun raised his head and replied. "But thinking about the difficulty of Uncle Fang's trip to the county, Xun couldn't help but have something to say from the bottom of his heart. If he couldn't tell Uncle Fang first, he would have just sat down on this bed.

It can’t be warmed up.”

"Is that so?" Dong Zhuo was startled for a moment, and then he looked serious. "Are there any problems with my trip? If that's the case, even if Wen Qi says so, I, Dong Zhongying, am also good at accepting advice."
