"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year."

Has anyone said this sentence during the Three Kingdoms period? When Luo Guanzhong wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he asked Liu Guanzhang to say this when he was married in Taoyuan, is there any historical archetype basis?

It can be said responsibly that Liu Guanzhang certainly did not say such a thing in the official history, but these words also have a source.

Just like Cao Cao's "Rather teach me to bear the world, stop teaching the world to bear me" Although it does not exist, "I would rather bear people than others should bear me" still exists.

The prototype of "not to be born on the same day in the same year, the same month, but to die on the same day in the same month" is "born on different days, but cooked on the same day", which is what Yingchuan Taishou Li Min and Yuzhou engaged in Zhang An were captured after being defeated and captured, before being eaten by Dong Zhuo. Although there is no record in the official history, it is from Wang Cang's "Heroes".

……

On the ninth day of the first month of February, south of Luoyang City, Bi Gui Yuan.

This should be the last shift of this luxurious royal garden built by Emperor Ling of Han with the world's money, and from now on, Dong Zhuo no longer plans to live here, and is ready to burn it.

Since the palace garden is going to be burned, of course, there is no need to keep the rare birds and beasts in the garden.

Dong Zhuo was in a very angry and bad mood these days, because after he had stopped enjoying himself for a winter, he actually heard that Yuan Shu had sent his troops to crusade against him again!

And there's more! The Yuan Shao coalition army of the sour jujube has already retreated, and Yuan Shu, a wreck, is still there to transfer troops and send generals to figure right and wrong, but he himself does not dare to lead the troops in person, and he is not a bunch of Jingzhou and Yuzhou Taishou to be cannon fodder!

In order to deter Yuan Shu and reflect Dong Gong's control over the imperial court, Dong Zhuo is going to set up a banquet in Bi Guiyuan today, and invite other courtiers who are still in Luoyang and have an official residence of more than 2,000 stones, to see the fate of those who beg Dong!

"Xiangguo Wan'an."

"Thanks to Xiangguo's generous hospitality."

More than a dozen courtiers and high-ranking officials who stayed in Luoyang trembled and came to the place of the banquet and took their seats as instructed, among which the highest official position was Situ Wang Yun.

Dong Zhuo Shi Ran sat in the middle of the main seat, smiling to comfort everyone: "Listen to the old man, recently Yuan Shu sent some thieves to disturb the division, and the old man has let Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong and Lu Bu break it with thunder!" You are the old ministers of the court, as long as you are loyal, the old man can ensure your glory and wealth! ”

Dong Zhuo paused a little when he said this, Wang Yun reacted quickly, knowing that he had to be praised at this moment, and hurriedly led the other courtiers to say: "Xie Xiangguo Shengde!" ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and beckoned wildly: "Someone! Charge up! Today, it's just the right time for you to see the fate of these clowns who jump off the beam and help the wine! ”

As soon as the words fell, a team of samurai took more than a dozen captives who had been stripped and washed, and lined up at the entrance of the Hanguang Pavilion in the main hall of the garden to tie them up.

Originally? These people are a group of Yuzhou officials led by Yingchuan Taishou Li Min and Yuzhou engaged in Zhang An.

Dong Zhuo whispered a few words? Others immediately set up two large oil pots in the middle of Hanguang Pavilion, and put a row of barbecue grills? and a square bronze wine storage jug.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand? The dozen or so captured petty officials of the Dong Army were cut off their hands and feet first, and the screams in front of the pavilion were endless? The blood gushes like a spring, and it is mixed with the wine in the bronze wine tasting.

Arms and legs and the like are skewered directly on the barbecue? Also caught the cranes raised by the first emperor in the garden? Cut the crane wings and legs alive and roast them with human arms and legs, and each skewer is mixed with a piece of human meat mixed with a piece of crane meat, just like a mixed skewer.

"Come on, come on, all the princes and the old man drink this death together!" Dong Zhuo is getting more and more excited? Pulled the palace maids of the two emperors in public? While drinking blood and wine, he directly opened the palace maid, acting arrogantly as if entering a no-man's land.

Wang Yun, Zhang Wen, and the others were all trembling, and they didn't dare not eat or drink, so they had to drink blood wine together because of obscenity? Roast wings with food.

In a short time, the coerced people had been killed, and the oil pot was boiling. Dong Zhuo then ordered to put the first evil and the koi in the pond of Bi Guiyuan into the oil pot together.

"Hehehehe? Hahahaha, I want to serve the country and kill thieves? It didn't work out, and this is heaven. General Sun, General Guan, will avenge us! Huaxiong came to Yangcheng to attack us? I didn't expect that? But since Huaxiong is light away from Liang County? General Sun will definitely capture the Huaxiong garrison! Dong thief! You are perverse, it won't be long! ”

Yingchuan Taishou Li Min saw that the boiling oil had been splashed on his calves, and he also laughed loudly, anyway, it was a death, it was better to say a few more words of scolding the thief.

Zhang An, who was engaged in Yuzhou next to him, was speechless, but after listening to Li Min's scolding, he also felt that he didn't scold in vain: "Li Gong, although you and I have intersected due to national difficulties, we have worked together for a short time. Wouldn't it be nice to be born on different days and cook on the same day! In the next life, I recognize you as a brother! ”

The two laughed, jumped into the oil pot that was already cooking and frying koi, and after a while, it was fried into soup and brought to Dong Zhuo's desk.

Dong Zhuo was so angry that his face was bruised, he originally planned to use today's terror and deterrence to silence the rebels in the DPRK and China, but he didn't expect the righteous people to be so generous, but it hit the morale of Dong Zhuo's side.

Dong Zhuo, who hated it so much, directly copied Li Min's arm bones, tore off a few muscles that had not been blown up, and roared hysterically: "The old man said that he wanted to eat the meat of the thief, and the old man did what he said!" ”

After biting for a while, Dong Zhuo was still puzzled, but he saw his strategist Li Ru suddenly striding into Hanguang Pavilion, his face a little embarrassed.

"What's the hurry? Even if it is! Dong Zhuo slapped the table case and asked Li Ru not to squeeze his eyebrows.

Li Ru looked at the ministers next to him, and whispered in embarrassment: "There is an urgent report in front of the army, Sun Jian and Hanzhong Taishou Guan Yu have joined forces to go north, and they have taken advantage of Huaxiong's reinforcement of Yangcheng to attack Liang County. At present, the two armies are facing each other west of Yangcheng and at the foot of Songshan across the Yingchuan River. ”

Dong Zhuo's temples jumped directly when he heard it.

It's really a pot that can't be opened. I just cooked and killed Li Min, and I was still eating Li Min's arm to deter the ministers, but I was directly slapped in the face by Li Min's prophecy before he died!

"Rubbish!" Dong Zhuo directly lifted the table in front of him and shouted loudly: "Let Huaxiong fight immediately!" I am a mighty army of the imperial court, who allowed him to confront the rebels across the river! Our army must take the initiative to attack, there are Feng Xianwu'er, as well as Hu Zhen and Hua Xiong, three generals, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what kind of system will the confrontation with Sun Jian and Guan Yu become! Tell Hua Xiong, if you dare to fight again, you will be beheaded and ordered by military law! ”

After venting like this, Dong Zhuo felt that he still hadn't regained face, and paced back and forth like a grumpy wild boar for a few steps, and suddenly a poisonous plan came to his heart.

"Then Sun Jian can so skillfully find the timing of Huaxiong's reinforcement of Yangcheng and raid Liang County, it must be that the court should leak the military information of the imperial army's defense to Sun Jian and Yuan Shu! Wenyou, haven't you found out? This is your rereliction of duty! ”

Li Ru frowned, he already knew what Dong Zhuo was fighting Liwei's idea, this was probably to kill Liwei, a minister who had a good relationship with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in the court, and push the blame for the defeat of Liangxian County to "our army's intelligence was leaked by traitors", so as to regain the stability of people's hearts.

Li Ru had no choice but to cooperate with the acting: "What Enxiang said is very true, in fact, his subordinates already have some eyebrows, but there is no ironclad evidence, please wait a while!" ”

Li Ru said, retreated and walked out of Hanguang Pavilion, and after a while, he brought a few confessions and whispered a few words in front of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's eyebrows twisted fiercely, and he slapped his thigh with a cruel smile: "As the old man expected!" Well! ”

The last "um" was just the sound of pouting and nose. The courtiers on both sides couldn't help but peek with their eyes, and noticed that Dong Zhuo's nose was finally facing Zhang Wen, the guard.

As soon as Li Ru waved his hand, two samurai immediately came over to obey the order, Li Ru whispered a few words, and the samurai took Zhang Wen away.

After a while, in the horror of the ministers, Li Ru asked the warrior to come in with a man's head again, carry the head around for display, and throw it into the bronze wine tasting that still contained some human blood and wine.

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this effect, and said proudly: "Don't be surprised, this Zhang Wen used to be Sun Jian's boss, and when he was fighting for chaos, he and Sun Jian conspired to kill me.

I never thought that he would collude with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian today, and wanted to be an internal response. Hua Xiong led the troops forward, and the empty military information in Liang County was leaked to the rebels by Zhang Wen! Just before Wenyou tortured the rebel prisoners, he has already obtained a confession! So cut it off! ”

Not to mention, Dong Zhuo's words are quite convincing, because the grudge between Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo was first concluded when Zhang Wen was still a lieutenant and the overseer crusaded against the Liangzhou Qiang Rebellion, and the ministers of the DPRK and China all knew about it.

At that time, before the outbreak of the rebellion between Zhang Chun and Ou Xing, Sun Jian was Zhang Wen's army, and Dong Zhuo was already a Zhonglang general, and he was also under Zhang Wen's control in the Battle of Qiang. Once Zhang Wen wanted to summon Dong Zhuo's troops to attack Han Sui together, but Dong Zhuo could not delay in order to preserve his strength, so Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen behead Dong Zhuo with the military method of "not being called" to deter the rest.

Since Sun Jian persuaded Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo back then, now that Sun Jian has called, Zhang Wen regrets that he wants to be an internal response, and the logic is also very smooth.

As a result, the other courtiers except Wang Yun were really frightened by Dong Zhuo again and stabilized people's hearts.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo has been ruined by the bad news of the fall of Liang County, and the human flesh is cold after such a toss, so he is too lazy to eat anymore, so he kicked over Li Min's koi pot and left. That night, it was indispensable to kill a few more palace maids to vent their anger.

……

Two days later, on the Songshan-Yingchuan front, Dong Zhuo's army camped.

Hua Xiong and others received Dong Zhuo's order. However, Dong Zhuo was still moral, and he didn't just send a messenger to give orders, but at least sent two generals and brought reinforcements.

The generals of the reinforcements were named Fan Chou and Li Meng, and the number of reinforcements was 5,000, half of which were Xiliang Iron Cavalry. In addition, there are more than 8,000 people in Huaxiong's headquarters, and 15,000 soldiers and horses from Lu Bu and Hu Zhen, which is close to 30,000 total troops.

Fan Chou was not polite to Hua Xiong, and directly announced: "General Hua, the prime minister has an order to take the initiative to cross Yingchuan and repel Sun Jian and Guan Yu as soon as possible, otherwise, you will be held accountable for losing Liang County and engaged in military law!" ”

Hua Xiong was very embarrassed: "Now that the enemy and our armies are separated by Yingchuan, whoever crosses the river will suffer, why do you want to attack?" ”

Fan Chou's face was blank: "Is this what you and I should ask?" Li Shangshu sympathizes with you and asks him to bring one more sentence: Xiangguo is not thinking about casualties and losses, but whether he can deter the rebels with the power of thunder. In the face of Sun Jian and Guan Yu, even if they win, if they can't win quickly, it will make the other princes ready to move! If you don't cross the river for war within three days, military law will be engaged! ”

Hu Zhen and Lu Bu watched the play with their hands crossed beside them, anyway, they were the guards of Yangcheng, responsible for facing the rebels in Yuzhou, and Hua Xiong was the defender of Liangxian and the rebels in Jingzhou.

Now that the rebels in Yuzhou have been destroyed, it is the rebels in Jingzhou who have entered the territory, and it is also Huaxiong's responsibility to be held responsible.

Hua Xiong had no choice but to prepare to lead his troops across the river to take the initiative to attack, but he also begged the rest of the generals to send troops together.

"General Hua is the vanguard, and we should take it upon ourselves." Lu Bu agreed in a weird way, anyway, he is the only one here who is the general of the Bingzhou Army, and the others are the generals of the Xiliang Army.
