Dong Zhuo will consider Li Ru's suggestion.

Now the princes of the eighteen towns in Guandong have gathered together and sent troops to attack him.

Although Dong Zhuo had more than 200,000 troops and horses, it was not easy to defeat the Kwantung Allied Forces.

And Dong Zhuo killed Queen Mother He and poisoned Liu Bian, which had offended all the states and counties. It would be difficult to find reinforcements.

Therefore, if Dong Zhuo still wants to maintain his power, he must do whatever it takes.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was thinking, Li Ru continued:"My lord, I have heard that Zhou Cheng drove Wusun to the west, defeated Fuyu and Goguryeo to the east, defeated Dingling in the north, and surrendered Rouran and Xianbei. He had a bravery that could not be matched by ten thousand men. It can be seen that he commanded the army. All the tribes in the north are afraid of his abilities. It is better for my lord to recruit him."

Since Zhou Cheng took the initiative to contact him, although the content of the letter was a bit domineering and arrogant, Li Ru believed that he could be used.

"To appease? Dong Zhuo stroked his beard, and then said:"Confer him the title of General of Zhenbei, the title of Liehou, the title of Zhangwu, and the food of ten thousand households in the city. Then he will select 30,000 young women and 2,000 literate people from all over the country. After leading the army into Jizhou, he was given a reward."

General Zhenbei is just a general with a miscellaneous title. Zhang Yan was also named General Dingbei by Cao Cao.

Of course, although he is only a general with a miscellaneous title, the marquises are not ordinary. Among the 20th rank, the marquises are the highest. level.

And the princes have feudal states. The amount and output of the land owned by the households in the feudal area are levied with local taxes for their enjoyment. They are called food towns and are divided into three types: counties, townships, and pavilions.

Historically, Cao Cao gave Guan Yu The Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is not at the same level as the Zhangwu Marquis of Zhou Cheng.

Zhangwu is located in Bohai County, a county, and is a Marquis of ten thousand households, while the Shouting Marquis of the Han Dynasty is only a hundred households.

After Zhou Cheng accepted the reward, In the eyes of the people of the world, he was not only a moth thief, but also became Dong Zhuo's party member.

Dong Zhuo was also willing to give up. In order to win over Zhou Cheng, he made an offer that he could not refuse.

Li Ru raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly, He bowed and said,"My lord is wise."

As long as Zhou Cheng leads his army into Jizhou, Yuan Shao and others will panic. After all, Zhou Cheng's thief nature is hard to change, and he will definitely rob him if he enters Jizhou. And the family members of Yuan Shao and others are still in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, If Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others return to Jizhou, what threat does the Guandong Alliance still have?

Wen Sheng waited quietly, and he found that he had really underestimated his lord.

Not only was he brave enough, but he was also proficient in calculations..

It is certain that Dong Zhuo and others will accept the 'blackmail'.

As for whether to accept the reward?

Wen Sheng and others hope that Zhou Cheng can accept it, after all, they can get rid of the name of thieves.

Of course, everything depends on Zhou Cheng's decision

……

Wen Sheng traveled through the starry night and returned to Zhou Cheng with Dong Zhuo's reply.

When Tian Chou, Zhen Xian, Zhao Chen, Zhao Yuan and others heard that Zhou Cheng was granted the title of Marquis, they all showed expressions of surprise and excitement on their faces.

It can be seen that they are happier than Zhou Cheng.

It is the ambition of scholars to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo was also generous enough, and he became the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households as soon as he made a move.

However, Zhou Cheng now controls a population of nearly 900,000, and he himself doesn't care whether he can be granted a title or not.

After all, he is a pragmatist, and General Zhennan and Marquis Zhangwu are not as valuable as women and young scribes.

Of course, what Zhou Cheng really cares about is reaching some kind of tacit understanding with Dong Zhuo.

Although it looks like a conspiracy, as long as Dong Zhuo doesn't die, it won't be that easy for Cao Cao to blackmail the emperor and order the princes.

"lord……"

Before Zhen Xian could speak, Zhou Cheng raised his hand and interrupted him:"I know what you are thinking. No need to say more. This reward is beneficial to us, why don't you accept it?"

Zhou Cheng didn't take advantage of it. The reason for rejection.

What's more, he was already the target of all the heroes in the world, so even if he was labeled as being in league with Dong Zhuo, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Although fame is valued in this world, and personal fame can bring unexpected benefits, with Zhou Cheng's current situation, fame is of little use.

Zhou Cheng said:"Send orders to He Man and Guan Hai to attack Bingzhou and Jizhou immediately, and the rest of the army will follow me into Jizhou!"

Then Zhou Cheng looked at Wen Sheng again.

Wen Sheng knew that he had to run errands again.

Zhou Cheng said:"You go to the foothills of the Taihang Mountains and bring me a personal letter. If the tribes are interested, they can go to Yecheng and submit to me. In addition, contact Mrs. Guo again and ask him to attack the Xiongnu. If he still colludes with the Xiongnu, I will definitely destroy it"

"Here. Wen Sheng replied

……

In May 190 AD, Zhou Cheng's three armies advanced side by side.

He Man led five thousand fine cavalry to attack Yanmen County and plundered them wantonly.

Guan Hai passed through Jizhou and rushed to Qingzhou. At the same time, there were already envoys to contact Zhang Rao.

Zhou Cheng led 120,000 troops and horses and crossed Daijun in a mighty manner.

The counties in Daijun abandoned the city and fled, and Zhou Cheng's army seemed to be in an uninhabited country.

Sun Jian stormed Hulao Pass, but was defeated by Hua Xiong. When the morale of the Kwantung Allied Forces was low, bad news came again.

"The leader of the alliance, the leader of the thieves, Zhou Chengshou, the general of Zhenbei, Zhang Wuhou, now sends cavalry to attack Jizhou, Bingzhou, attack the city and plunder the stronghold, no one can stop it!"

"What!"

Yuan Shao stood up as he slapped the case, with veins popping out on his forehead, and a look of shock and anger on his face.

Yuan Shu stood aside, stroking his beard, and snickering with joy.

Although Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were brothers, they were at odds with each other, and Yuan Shu refused to accept Yuan Shao's misfortune. , is something everyone knows.

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and said:"At first, we were calm. Bai Bo colluded with the Xiongnu who went south. Now Bai Bo attacks Hedong, and Dong Zhuo sends Niu Fu to stop it. This is the time to eradicate Dong Zhuo. The best chance!"

Who can calm down!

Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, Han Fu

, the governor of Jizhou, and others can't sit still. Now in all states and counties, the governors and governors are not self-respecting.

And their respective territories are important to them. Extraordinary, if you lose your territory, you will lose everything.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this crusade against Dong Zhuo, the food and grass in Jizhou is very important.

If something goes wrong in Jizhou and there is a problem with the food and grass, then the Kwantung Allied Forces will be in trouble.

Yuan Shao His brows were furrowed, his eyes were sinister, he clenched his fists, and said viciously:"The moth thief did not know the right time, and actually colluded with Dong Zhuo. This is unacceptable, and I will destroy him!""
