Chapter 18 One for Five
Under the mound mountain, the Qianghu people cut out a camp with knives and axes, the cool breeze in April can not freeze these fierce northwest men, pigs and sheep are driving on the fire, horses are galloping back and forth, shirtless men carrying knives and bows to patrol back and forth, in the center of this simple military camp, the Qianghu soldiers form a large circle, more than ten men in the circle are fighting with their bare backbones, shouting and shouting and shaking the sky.
"Knock him over, knock him over, long live the general!"
"Grab General Dong's leg, grab the general's leg, alas!"
In the center of the field, Dong Zhuo was shirtless with two arms thick as the thighs of ordinary people in a posture, waving his hands fiercely, and more than ten Qiang Hu warriors were surrounded by more than ten steps around him, including Qiang herdsmen, Di fugitives, Hu merchants, and Tuge rebels, who joined the Han army for their own reasons and were assigned under Dong Zhuo.
I don't know if this is the first few fights after being stationed in Tsuka Lingshan, the warriors who came out to fight against Dong Zhuo are all ordinary soldiers, everyone knows that whoever can knock General Dong to the ground with one punch can be promoted to the next level, but no one has been promoted to this day, Dong Zhuo's thousand catties of strange power with two arms are really not someone who said that he could knock over with one punch.
No, half of the dozen or so people in the field fell in the blink of an eye.
Several Qiang Hu warriors glanced at each other, roared and besieged it, Dong Zhuo flicked his arm, a Hu man flew to the ground, and a kick was a Qiang man who fell backwards to the ground, holding up his belly full of fat Dong Zhuo's speed was fast, and his moves were very spicy and fast, but after a while, the rest of the soldiers all fell to the ground.
In the wailing sound of the four corners, Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Ado, bring the wine!" β
"No!" Guo Yan, who was standing aside with his fists hugged, hurriedly untied the wine bag on his waist and threw it over, Dong Zhuo caught it and poured it into his throat, swallowed a few mouthfuls before he let out a long breath and threw it back into the wine bag and smiled: "Haha, refreshing, refreshing!" β
Seeing that Dong Zhuo, who had finished venting, walked out of the venue very happily, Tian Yi, the loyal chief bookkeeper, waved his hand, and an entourage carried a stool in front of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo sat down and glanced at Tian Yi, who had a broken arm, and asked, "Lao Tian, what's going on again, so serious?" β
Tian Yi is a scribe who has just joined Dong Zhuo's account in recent years, I don't know what crime he committed in the Han Dynasty, he fled all the way to the border of the Southern Xiongnu, and was captured as a slave by the Huns. Dong Zhuo's brilliant brain and excellent governance ability made Dong Zhuo appreciate it doubly, and now he is a big man under Dong Zhuo who is on a par with Li Ru.
Tian Yi was over forty years old, and there was no trace of a smile on his face that looked weathered, he nodded to Dong Zhuo, shook the sleeve of his right hand and took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Dong Zhuo, saying, "Luoyang, it's a letter again." β
"Those bastards who eat vegetarian food in the corpse position, Lao Tzu is annoyed when he sees it!" Dong Zhuo swept his eyes and saw that the letter had been opened, and when he heard that it was from Luoyang, he threw it directly to the ground, and snorted disdainfully and said, "Is it Yuan Kui's old fox, or the general?" β
Tian Yi's stiff face rarely pulled out a trace of an intriguing smile, and he didn't speak, just looked at the letter on the ground.
"It's Yuan Kui's old bastard, isn't it that he has been a subordinate in his house for half a year, and he always uses Lao Tzu as a protΓ©gΓ©, making it seem like Lao Tzu's general position is guaranteed by him......" Dong Zhuo picked up the letter, blew the grass and mud sticking to it, and said while opening it: "Lao Tzu has today's merits, all of which are exchanged for the lives of the sons, and it has nothing to do with the old immortal...... Ma Saburo? β
Looking at Dong Zhuo's unbelievable eyes, Tian Yi said, "The general is old with Ma Yue?" The subordinates saw that Ma Yue was confident in the general in the letter and asked the general to send troops to attack Ding Yuan, what did the general think? β
"Don't talk yet, let's see what Saburo has written...... Tsk, the word San Lang has been passed on by Mr. Liang! Dong Zhuo looked at it, and did not forget to praise Ma Yue, in the end, although he hadn't seen him for many years, Dong Zhuo still thought of Ma Yue as the child back then, but then his face changed, and after reading the letter, Dong Zhuo looked in the direction of Luoyang, and only sighed after a while and said: "Alas, San Lang is really a good life, damn it, Lao Tian, look at this, San Lang said that if it was a certain family, he would do it like him." This kid understands Lao Tzu's mind. β
Ma Yue explained the matter of the edict of the first emperor in the letter, expressed his desire to introduce Dong Zhuo as a foreign aid, and asked him to send troops to contain Ding Yuan.
"You also read the letter sent by the General's Mansion a few days ago, please lead the army into Beijing to attack and kill Ma Yue, and now Ma Yue has also sent a handwritten letter asking you to attack Ding Yuan...... General Dong, what are you going to do? β
Dong Zhuo smiled, his attitude was already very clear, he didn't plan to go to the muddy waters of Luoyang at all, regardless of whether it was the imperial court or the general's mansion or the Yuan mansion, it was not once or twice that he was sent a handwritten letter, first the emperor wanted to collect his military power, and the shogunate asked him to send troops to the Qingjun side, or the Yuan Mansion wanted him to wave his army in Luoyang to kill Ma Yue, except for killing the eunuchs, he didn't want to pay attention to anyone, Dong Zhuo had been in the officialdom for so many years, where could he not see that the emperor was seriously ill and couldn't cure him. Even if the General's Mansion wins the new monarch, it will take some time, and it will not be able to take care of him in three or five years. Not to mention the Yuan Mansion, it is a matter of military power, they can't move him, and more importantly, Dong Zhuo doesn't like the tone of the Yuan family's juniors, so Dong Zhuo doesn't bother to pay attention to them.
What he meant was that he didn't care about anyone, Lao Tzu just took his sons and daughters to Shanglin Yuan to hunt, went to the foot of the mound to lead the mountain to fight and practice, and when there was nothing to do, he set off directly back to Bingzhou.
It's a pity that it's not working now, the emperor is no longer there, the Yuan Mansion and the Shogunate have become a new behemoth in the court, on the other hand, Ma Yue is in charge of the Forbidden Palace, looking at the situation of this letter, this little barbarian who rushed out of Liangzhou is planning to continue to rampage with the General's Mansion to have a hard time. The two sides are on the same footing, so Dong Zhuo can't be indifferent anymore, the competition in the court is obviously developing towards the seizure, if he doesn't say a word at this time, no matter who wins at that time, he won't let him go, this is not in his interests.
The only thing he wants to do without regard for his own interests is to help the world and kill the eunuch for himself, but this matter is obviously not worried about anyone on both sides, Ma Yue is in charge of the palace forbidden eunuch is not just the fish on the board, so he Dong Lao Er is still worried about a ball?
"Lao Tian, there are no twists and turns of the Han family in the Xiongnu, haha. Go and call those two sons-in-law, and let's talk about it. β
"No."
At the moment when Tian Yi left, Dong Zhuo sat alone by the military tent, watching the sunset and suddenly felt lonely in his heart.
"If you don't accept the old, you can't do it."
Now Dong Zhuo is over forty years old, if it weren't for the edict issued by the General's Mansion this time, he would have already had the idea of returning to his hometown to die old when he conquered Liangzhou, and it would be almost enough to ascend to the general position in his life. In the early years of the war, his sons died, and there was no more Jin Ge Iron Horse in these years, no matter how rich and noble a person is, there is no point in having a future, not to mention what else can he do in the future? Although the horse leather shroud is the long-cherished wish of the man on the battlefield, he doesn't want to leave like this, but what else can he do?
It's been bloodstained for a lifetime.
Looking back and looking at the past, Dong is also a hero, at least in the west of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo's name can make people feel faint fear. But what's the use of that? Look at the other people's Xiao Ma Yue, who was born more than ten years later than himself, and now he is actually provoking the first emperor to plot to slaughter He Tuzi from the new emperor of Longfu, alas.
Envious of Ma Yue's thoughts, he let Dong Pang throw him out of the clouds, slapped his mouth boringly, rubbed his fat hand on his face, and touched his collapsed nose that had been interrupted many times on the battlefield, Dong Zhuo slapped his thigh with his fat hand, pulled the broken gong and shouted: "Guo Aduo, bring wine to Lao Tzu!" β
The military tent in the distance was jumping with chickens and dogs, and Guo Yan's mighty body rushed out of the tent with a wine bag, and the armor that was halfway through was hung on his body and jumped to the ground with running, "Here, Addo is here, general, wine!" β
"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo looked at Guo Yan grabbing the wine bag and laughing embarrassedly, took the wine bag and poured two large mouthfuls, wiped his chin with his fat hand, and looked at Guo Yan who was standing stupidly on the side with fixed eyes, and saw that his heart was furious.
Guo Yan stretched out his hand and touched his face, and then touched Junhou Jia, didn't feel anything wrong, and asked, "General, what are you doing with me?" β
"You horse thief Addo, horse thief Addo...... Come, Lao Tzu asks you something. Dong Zhuo put down the wine bag and asked, "Junhou, is it more interesting to be a horse bandit?" β
"Yes, the general can tell you that the little cubs of the Flying Bear Army you handed over to me are all trained to be strong and captured, and they are screaming all day long to fight, and one can fight five on the battlefield!" Guo Yan blushed rarely, wrinkled his bitter gourd face and said: "Don't squeeze me with stealing horses, if you don't have the money to buy a coffin for my mother, who wants to steal Ma Yue's horse, my mother's little horse is not good." β
"Hey, one beats five, you call the little cub under your hand to practice with Lao Tzu, and watch Lao Tzu slap you five times!" Dong Zhuo made a blank face and asked, "What do you want to do with Li Dao and Fan Chou in the future?" β
"What? Follow the general to fight, and in the future, the general will invite us to sit in a general seat. β
"Good guy, Lao Tzu is only a general, what are you doing when you are a general?"
"We are generals, generals, you must be generals!"
"General, Lao Tzu became a general, what is the general doing?" Dong Zhuo teased Guo Yan, teasing himself and not being depressed, Guo Yan, a stupid boy, is a good hand at fighting, but he is stupid and stupid when he talks and chats, and he is illiterate, he knows how to fight and kill all day long, but among his generals, Dong Zhuo likes it the most.
"Qi, I am also a general, I heard that he slaughtered sheep, but I never heard that he can fight." mentioned He Jin Guo Yan's face of disdain, "General, you speak, tomorrow I will go to Luoyang to slaughter him." β
"Fuck off, it's useless." Dong Zhuo saw that Tian Yi came over with Li Ru and Niu Fu from a distance, waved his hand to Guo Yan and said, "Go and train your little cub, when the five flying bear armies can beat Lao Tzu down, Lao Tzu will let you be a general!" β
"Hey, hey, ouch!" Seeing that Guo Yan's ugly face was still smirking in front of him, Dong Zhuo kicked him on the ass, and the iron armor was so fat that his feet hurt, Guo Yan ran away and still shouted, "Five to one, general, don't forget." β
Li Ru and the three of them walked up, arched their hands, and said: "Father-in-law, Master Tian has already told the two of us about the situation, and the son-in-law thinks that the general's mansion is big at the moment, and you had better lead the order to Luoyang, the enemy is only Ma Yue, and it is a big deal to lose to him, and if you are angry with Ma Yue, you will not tear your face." If you help Ma Yue, you will be restrained in many ways, too many people will be hostile to us, not to mention, just Bao Xin of Taishan, as well as Wang Kuang, and Ding Yuan of Bingzhou will attack us, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
Dong Zhuo touched the gray beard with wine on his chin, and a nameless ambition suddenly rose in his heart, like the strength of wine, but like the fire that burned the plain. Dong Zhuo's eyes were a little misty, and he muttered to himself: "Help the general's mansion, can't you let Guo Adon's little cubs be generals......"
Assist the new emperor, from the dragon's work, kill Yingye...... Dong Zhuo seems to feel that he is young again!
