"After all, Zhang Rang and Duan Yu are still standing together for now."

"A single move is not enough to decide the outcome; only by planning for the whole situation can one win the world."

Yuan Kui said with deep calculation: "This time, we must not only win, but win the entire board."

Yuan Ji suppressed the curiosity in his heart and did not ask.

"Are you not curious?" Yuan Kui turned his head to look at Yuan Ji and asked.

"I am curious," Yuan Ji said honestly: "Nephew understands that I am currently no match for Duan Yu. If Uncle gives Duan Yu such high praise, if I were to play against him, I fear I could not defeat him."

"Rather than that, it is better to learn peacefully from Uncle how to plan."

"Good." Yuan Kui nodded and said with a smile: "With this character, the future of the Yuan clan will be in good hands with you."

"But after all, you are the future head of the Yuan clan; you still have the right to know these things, and you also need to gain experience in this."

"I am not in the court now, and many things are inconvenient to do; some matters still require you to come forward."

"Do this, I will first tell you how to do it..."

As he spoke, Yuan Kui lowered his voice and leaned in to whisper.

Yuan Ji listened carefully and then nodded.

Buguangli.

Duan Yu had already returned to his residence and was helping Dong Zhuo change his dressing.

"Good, good!"

Dong Zhuo was very happy to hear that Duan Yu had been enfeoffed as a County Marquis with a fief of 13,000 households.

"Although the position of General of the Guards is not bad, compared to a County Marquis and a fief of 13,000 households, it is dispensable. Ziyi is now the Governor of Liangzhou; even without the position of General of the Guards, it is still convenient to act in Liangzhou."

"A County Marquis."

Dong Zhuo sighed with emotion.

Let alone a County Marquis, even a hereditary Pavilion Marquis is something many people dream of but cannot attain.

Li Guang wanted to be enfeoffed as a Marquis his whole life, but he still did not fulfill his wish on the day he died.

Duan Yu also nodded with a smile.

This is indeed true.

The Great Han has not yet truly shattered.

The gold content of this County Marquis now is much, much higher than during the Three Kingdoms period.

You must know that Guan Yu was only enfeoffed as the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion back then.

Just this one title of Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion made Guan Yu look down upon all the heroes.

Moreover, a title like General of the Guards would definitely be abolished if it were not during wartime.

It is better to exchange it for a solid County Marquis title.

"When does Ziyi plan to leave Luoyang?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"I will leave tomorrow morning," Duan Yu replied.

Dong Zhuo nodded: "Hmm, Ziyi has been away from Liangzhou for more than half a year; it is time to go back."

"After all, Liangzhou is Ziyi's foundation."

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with Father," Duan Yu said: "I don't know when I will be able to return after leaving Luoyang this time."

"But the situation in Luoyang changes in an instant, and I fear I cannot control it at all times while in Liangzhou, so I want to ask Father to stay in Luoyang. As for Hedong Commandery... it is better for Father not to return for the time being."

Not letting Dong Zhuo return to Hedong Commandery is also for Dong Zhuo's own good.

Although Wei Ban was eliminated this time, the Wei clan might be a bit more honest.

But Hedong Commandery is the Wei clan's territory after all.

It is easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.

After all, Dong Zhuo does not have his level of martial prowess.

If the Wei clan really wanted to take action in the dark, it would not be a very difficult thing.

"Of course, if Father is unwilling, I can also request His Majesty to transfer Father-in-law to another place."

He is currently in a honeymoon period with Liu Hong, and this request is nothing to Liu Hong.

Dong Zhuo laughed while patting his left leg and said: "Ziyi does not mind that I am now lame and useless; as long as there is still a place where you can use this old bone of mine, just speak up."

"Since that is the case, I will petition His Majesty before I leave tomorrow to let His Majesty appoint Father as the Colonel of Sili."

"My Lord."

As soon as Duan Yu's voice fell, the call of Tie Shitou sounded from outside.

"Ziyi, go and get busy with your business," Dong Zhuo said, waving his hand at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu got up and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu had both returned one after another.

After glancing at the two of them, Duan Yu walked towards the outside.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu immediately followed.

"My Lord, the Military Intelligence Department sent word that twenty-seven informants were killed today, and nine of our men were wounded."

"But Miss He's identity should still have been exposed."

"Near the Grand Physician's residence in Yongheli, the Night Hawks intercepted three death warriors, but in the end, only two were killed and one was seriously wounded. That seriously wounded one escaped and should have already passed the intelligence out."

Duan Yu nodded with a solemn expression upon hearing this.

This was also within his expectations.

Luoyang is too big.

And this is ancient times, not modern times.

These scholar-clans have been rooted in Luoyang for decades or even hundreds of years.

The forces they have cultivated are beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Let alone such a simple piece of intelligence.

From ancient times to the present, how many coups and how many deaths of emperors have been controlled by these powerful clans?

The Military Intelligence Department has been operating in Luoyang for less than a year, and having such results is already not bad.

"Has there been any unusual movement at the Grand Physician's residence?" Duan Yu asked.

Tie Shitou shook his head and said: "According to the Military Intelligence Department's report from inside the Grand Physician's residence, there has been no unusual movement in the residence, and Grand Physician Zhang Feng seems to be unaware as well."

Hmm.

That is enough.

He is not afraid.

Even if Zhang Rang finds out about his secret tryst with He Lingman, presumably Zhang Rang will also know what to do.

In the end, it is just a woman; Zhang Rang will not tear his face off with him over this matter.

"Order the Military Intelligence Department to send more people to infiltrate Grand Physician Zhang Feng's residence to ensure He Lingman's safety," Duan Yu said.

"Understood."

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu nodded.

The next day at noon.

After Duan Yu went to the palace to bid farewell to Liu Hong and petitioned for Dong Zhuo to serve as the Colonel of Sili, he left Luoyangcheng.

Outside Luoyangcheng, near the Pingcheng Gate.

He Lingman's carriage stopped in front of a shop, and only after watching Duan Yu slowly walk out of the Pingcheng Gate did she reluctantly let down the carriage curtain.

Besides this, there were countless eyes near the Pingcheng Gate staring at the departing Duan Yu.

The Yang clan, the Yuan clan, the Hedong Wei clan...

Outside the Pingcheng Gate.

Duan Yu, riding the Red Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast, crossed the drawbridge over the moat, then stopped his horse on one side of the drawbridge outside the city, and looked back at the majestic Luoyangcheng behind him.

The grand S1 season of the Great Han has already ended.

Those who needed to grind experience have already done so.

Yuan Shao became the Inspector of Jizhou.

Cao Cao became the Inspector of Yanzhou.

And Liu Bei also went to Xuzhou.
