Xue Rengui said, "My lord, should we ignore He Jin's military order?"

"Of course we don't need to worry about him. What kind of place is Dragon City? How dare he want me to go there!"

"If anyone is to go, it will be in the future when I lead my troops to fight there. It's impossible for it to happen now."

Liu Wei scoffed, "He wants to control my troops and the appointment of officials in the three counties of Yunzhong? Has He Jin eaten too much pork and gone mad?"

"How could anyone even think of that!"

“My lord, he is merely asking for an exorbitant price; we should negotiate a lower one. If we don’t agree, he can fabricate charges against us and spread them in the court. This will damage your reputation.”

Yao Guangxiao, however, spoke very calmly.

With so many advisors in He Jin's general's mansion, it's impossible that they all had brains like pigs.

Since such a series of seemingly excessive orders were given to Liu Wei, it was known that Liu Wei would definitely not comply.

But he still left, and even sent someone to deliver a message from beyond the Great Wall, so he must have had other purposes.

"I have considered what the strategist said!"

Liu Wei smiled slightly, "Isn't this Chen Ji supposed to be here as my military supervisor?"

"Then let him take office and not let him go back. We can slowly assimilate him and make him work for us."

"Didn't He Jin want to know our situation? Let Chen Ji convey it to us."

Yao Guangxiao was quite pleased, as Liu Wei was slowly beginning to understand his strategy: "Isn't this making him the second Dong Zhuo?"

“That’s right. So how can we let Cai Yong stay?” Liu Wei asked again.

Xue Rengui said, "My lord, I am a military man and do not have the same cunning as a strategist. It would be better to just detain him directly."

"A forced marriage is never sweet. I want him to stay willingly."

Liu Wei shook his head.

At this moment, Shen Lian always managed to interject: "Your Highness, we have discovered a new situation."

"This mission includes many skilled swordsmen."

"As soon as they entered our camp, they looked around as if they were spying on our camp."

"I suspect they must have some ulterior motive."
