"Fine, let's try our best and see if the various lords of Qingzhou and Youzhou are willing to send troops. If they are, bestowing titles of duke or king upon them is a no-brainer!"
"promise!"
After doing all this and watching Li Jue walk away completely, Dong Zhuo slumped helplessly onto the specially made solid wood bench like a deflated balloon.
"In Xiliang, I was no match for Sun Jian. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I was no match for Liu Bei, who wove mats and sold shoes. With the situation under control, Cao Cao instigated a coalition army through a forged imperial edict, and I was nearly defeated."
