Right General's Mansion.
Xun Yu was heartbroken and beat his chest: "Dong Zhuo is so bold.
They all blame me.
They all blame me.
Why didn't I expect that Dong Zhuo would attack the Queen Mother?"
Zhong Yao advised: "Wen Ruo, what happened has already happened.
This is not your responsibility.
There is no need to blame yourself.
Everything must be blamed on Dong Zhuo."
At this point, Zhong Yao said to Liu Cheng: "General, the top priority is to strengthen the protection of your majesty.
We must not let anything happen to your majesty again, otherwise I will bear the blame even if I die."
"I have ordered Wang Shuang to protect His Majesty personally, cooperate with Mingong to strengthen the protection of His Majesty, increase the number of guards, and also order that even if the sky falls, they do not need to leave His Majesty's side."
After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he asked: "Should I take the initiative or wait and see what happens next, and remain unchanged to cope with the changes?
I wonder if Wen Ruo and Yuan Chang have taught me?"
Zhong Yao said: "The lower officials think that in the court, the general should wait and see what happens, but in private he wants to secretly develop his power and win over middle and lower-level officials according to our established strategy."
Liu Cheng nodded: "I've already done this.
Wu Guan Zhonglang general Dong Cheng and Luoyang Ling Sima Fang have secretly surrendered."
Zhong Yao took out a pamphlet from his arms and stood up and handed it to Liu Cheng and said: "General, I have sorted out the officials at the upper, lower, middle and lower levels in the court in recent days, and I think these people are worthy of wooing and promoting.
Please take a look at it, General."
Liu Cheng opened the pamphlet and saw it read: "Sifang Zhonglang General Zhou Zhong, admonishment official Chun Yujia, Tingwei Zuojian Xuanfan, Chefu Ling Zhao Qi, Jinwu Prime Minister Sun Rui, military cao Engaged in Wu Zilan, the chief of the pavilion Wang Zifu, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Tianfen, and the general chief craftsman Deng Yuan."
This booklet contains the names and current official positions of more than 30 people.
These people are the heads or deputies of the yamen under the Sangong and Jiuqing.
Their status in the court is not high, but their position is very critical.
Moreover, these people are worthy To win over and cultivate.
Liu Cheng read it again, returned the brochure to Zhong Yao, and said, "Okay, it's up to you, Yuan Chang, to contact them and explore their thoughts and attitudes.
When you think the time is right, I will meet with them to discuss it in detail." " "promise" Xun Yu stroked his beard and thought, and suddenly remembered something.
He cupped his hands to Liu Cheng and said, "General, I don't know where the captains of the Changshui School and the Shesheng School have gone."
Liu Chengdao: "According to the news from yesterday, we should have passed Tongguan by now."
"General, Huangfu Song's troops stationed in Yi County are always a hidden danger.
As far as the official knows, Huangfu Song is somewhat foolish and loyal.
In most cases, foolish and loyal people are reassuring, but once Dong Zhuo takes control In the government affairs, it is not difficult to take advantage of Huangfu Song’s foolish loyalty to seize the military power of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.”
Liu Cheng nodded: "At this time, I have also considered it.
A few days ago, I asked the Queen Mother to send someone to send Huangfu Song a secret edict.
You can refuse the edict unless it is stamped with the national jade seal.
This is to prevent Dong Zhuo from seizing Huangfu Song's power." military power" Xun Yu shook his head: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
The best way is to transfer Huangfu Song back to Beijing and send someone else to take over the military power."
Liu Cheng thought about Xun Yu's words.
If he thought about it carefully, Xun Yu's concerns were not unreasonable.
Although foolish and loyal people were old-fashioned and could not be easily shaken, they could also be easily exploited.
Dong Zhuo couldn't take away Huangfu Song's military power.
It's easy, all he needs to do is issue an edict in the name of the emperor after he takes control of the court.
Who should he send to replace Huangfu Song?
Liu Cheng went through all the people he could trust in his mind.
At this stage, only Xu Rong has this talent.
Others such as Wu Fu, Zhong Ji, Zhao Yun and Yan Xing are not as good as him.

Zhao Yun and Yan Xing hasn't grown up yet, so the two men don't have much martial arts skills, but they still need to learn more about the ability to lead troops in battle.
So Liu Cheng asked: "What do you think of sending Xu Rong to replace Huangfu Song?"
Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty knows a little about General Xu Rong.
Before the general entered the court, your Majesty met this man several times.
This man once commanded the army in Liaodong, served as a school captain, and led troops to fight with others."
The Wuwan people have fought wars, and they have also fought against the Xianbei people.
They have rich experience in army leadership and combat, but their qualifications are slightly lacking and their reputation is not outstanding."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "This is easy to handle.
Tomorrow the Japanese general will see your majesty and ask your majesty to confer Xu Rong the title of General Zhongwu.
In order to increase his military escort, he ordered Zhao Yun to accompany him as his deputy general.
He only transferred troops from the Northern Army to serve as his subordinates."
It is easy for Dong Zhuo to detect our followers and use this to deduce our intentions, but it is a bit difficult."
Xun Yu said: "This matter is not difficult.
We can transfer 200 cavalry from Changshui Captain Du Kai to Zhao Yun's command."
Liu Cheng nodded: "This is feasible.
Do you know the personalities of Du Kai, the captain of Changshui, and Yang Ru, the captain of Shesheng?
Will these two people truly come under my command?"
Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said: "General, I am an old acquaintance of these two people.
I would like to go west to meet Du Kai and Yang Ru to find out their tone and reaction."
Liu Cheng said happily: "Since Yuan Chang is an old acquaintance of these two people, it would be great, so I'll bother Yuan Chang to make a trip."
"General, I would like to recommend someone to the general."
Liu Cheng was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, the person recommended by Yuan Chang must be a great talent.
I don't know who his name is and what his abilities are."
Zhong Yao said: "This man's surname is Zhu and his given name is Jianping.
He is a physiognomist.
He is good at physiognomy and has no other abilities.
However, in the opinion of the lower official, this person's physiognomy is better than that of Tang Ju and Xu Fu in ancient times."
Nothing less” Liu Cheng had never heard of people named Tang Ju and Xu Fu in ancient times, so he asked curiously: "General Xiangshu heard that there was Xu Shao in Runan who was good at commenting on characters, and Yilang Cao Cao was also commented by him as having the ability to govern the world.
Minister, the traitor in troubled times, Zhu Jianping must be a figure like Xu Shao, sir, you must know that this general has little talent and knowledge, but I wonder who Tang Ju and Xu Fu are, are they famous?"
Zhong Yao looked at Xun Yu, and Xun Yu said with a smile: "The general doesn't know something.
Commentary on characters is different from physiognomy.
Commentary on characters is to evaluate a person's temperament, character, and knowledge; physiognomy is to judge life and death, destiny, life span, and future.
When Tang Ju was the Liang Dynasty during the Warring States Period, He was famous for his physiognomy at that time.
Li Dui, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, and Cai Ze, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin, both sought his fortune-telling, and their fortune-telling was very accurate.
Tang Ju also became famous all over the world because of these two people, and he can be regarded as the founder of the field of physiognomy. ; Xu Fu was the number one at the end of the previous dynasty and the beginning of this dynasty.
A female fortune-teller had a vision from the sky when she was born.
Emperor Shihuang heard about it and sent people to send gold ingots to his father Xu Wang, so that Xu Wang could have a good life.
Xu Wang was overjoyed, so he named her Mo Huan. , Don't live up to the emperor's kindness, Xu Negi and Liu Hou Zhang Liangdu was a disciple of Huangshi Gong.
Later, Xu Fu knew that the world would be in chaos and the Qin Dynasty would fall, so he changed his name to Fu.
In the opinion of brother Yuan Chang, Zhu Jianping's ability was even worse than that of Tang Ju and Xu Fu.
He should be If there is anything useful, the general will not hesitate to meet him."
Liu Cheng thought for a while, wouldn't he be a very qualified interviewer with such ability?
If this person is used as an interviewer to recruit talents, he can eliminate those who have false reputations, fish in troubled waters, and opportunistic people, and thus recruit truly talented people.
Liu Cheng immediately said: "This general is very interested in this Zhu Jianping, so please ask Yuan Chang to bring him here."
"This person is outside the door now," Zhong Yao said with a smile, and immediately shouted: "Here, please bring Brother Jianping."

A tall middle-aged man with a delicate face and a thin face walked in with flowing sleeves.
Zhong Yao introduced: "Brother Jianping, this is the right general."
Zhu Jianping walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to Liu Chengzuo and saluted: "Zhu Jianping, a man from the mountains, pays homage to the general."
"There is no need to be polite, sir.
Please sit down and serve tea to sir."
Liu Cheng looked at Zhu Jianping and said.
Zhu Jianping was also observing Liu Cheng at this time.
He was surprised when he saw Liu Cheng's appearance.
While everyone was drinking tea and chatting, Liu Cheng suddenly asked Zhu Jianping: "Sir, what do you think of my general's appearance?"
Zhu Jianping hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said: "Looking at the general's face, it seems that he will die at an early age, but for some reason he has an indescribable appearance.
I have met countless people in my life, and the general is actually the most peculiar-looking person I have ever seen. " Liu Cheng smiled, but his heart was beating.
He didn't expect that Zhu Jianping was really powerful.
He could actually tell that this body was that of a person who died early.
He asked again: "Sir, have you ever seen Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei?"
Zhu Jianping said: "A few days ago, a friend came to serve at Dong Zhuo's house.
I also went to join in the fun and asked for a glass of wine.
I met Dong Zhuo from a distance.
On that day, Dong Zhuo hosted a banquet for guests.
Yuan Taifu happened to be there, and I also met Yuan Wei."
Liu Cheng touched his chin and asked, "In my opinion, sir, how does Dong Zhuo look?"
Zhu Jianping bluntly said: "I can't live more than three years."
Liu Cheng looked astonished and asked: "So what does Mr.
Yuan look like?"
"Can't survive more than a year" This is indeed the case for these two people in the history that Liu Cheng is familiar with.
Dong Zhuo was beheaded by Lu Bu in 192 AD, and Yuan Wei was also beheaded by Dong Zhuo in 190 AD.
Liu Cheng's jaw dropped in shock, and he pointed at Zhong Yao and asked, "Sir, what do you think of Yuan Chang's face?"
Zhu Jianping touched his long beard and said slowly: "Yuan Chang can live to be eighty years old, and the official can be promoted to Taifu."
Liu Cheng was immediately shocked.
Damn it, how could this guy be so accurate?
How did he calculate it?
Liu Cheng couldn't calm down for a long time.
He stood up and bowed to Zhu Jianping to the ground.
After getting up, he said: "Now the Han Dynasty is declining.
I originally wanted to help the country, but I lacked available talents.
In recent days, many people have come to invest.
However, it is inevitable that there will be some unscrupulous people among them.
I also asked my husband to be the interviewer.
Anyone who comes to serve me will be decided by my husband.
If he thinks they are suitable, my general will keep them. , Sir, I think it is not available, so I will make some inquiries and send the gifts out.
I wonder if Sir, can you give in?"
Zhu Jianping had gone to the houses of prefects, governors, and even high-ranking officials in various places to seek employment.
He had never received such courtesy as he did today.
Moreover, he saw that Liu Cheng was indeed very noble, so he immediately saluted and said: "General, I love you, Jianping."
Even if I die, I will never be able to repay the kindness of the general
