221 How can a dignified Hanchen be in the same stream as a thief
As a lobbyist, Li Ru exerted his eloquence when he came up, and belittled the Kwantung Coalition Army like garbage in a single speech.
"The name of the Kwantung Coalition is to crusade against Xiangguo, but in fact, each has its own ideas, each has its own selfishness, and it is called to fight for Dong, which is actually to expand its strength and compete for territory.
The general was loyal and brave and devoted himself to the country, but he was deceived by them, acting for the tiger without knowing it, and being a minion of the Kwantung coalition army, Confucianism felt unworthy for the general in private. ”
In Li Ru's mouth, the princes of the Kwantung Coalition Army were completely unable to succeed and were doomed to failure, and there was no premise, Guo Peng should not fight for them.
Guo Peng felt that what Li Ru said was wrong.
There is still garbage that can be recycled, and the waste of the Kwantung Coalition Army is not even qualified for reuse.
They live to waste food, air and water, and only know how to eat but do not know where the food comes from, causing the common people to suffer and suffer.
If there were no side effects from killing them, Guo Peng would be able to return to the army and destroy them all now, which can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating yin virtue.
But no, they have taken up the name of righteousness, Dong Zhuo lost the battle of public opinion, and there is no name for righteousness.
Guo Peng stands on the side of righteousness.
It's okay to be in the same room with this non-recyclable waste for the time being.
"Li Ru, you said that the Kwantung Coalition Army has its own selfish intentions, called to woo Dong, and is actually fighting for territory to expand its strength, so isn't Dong Zhuo doing this? is called Han Xiang, but he is actually a thief! ”
Guo Peng's tone became stern: "Dong Zhuo vainly claimed to be the prime minister, killed the king of Hongnong in a grand manner, regarded the upper and lower dignity as nothing, if he can't crusade against Dong Zhuo, he will be the head to comfort the first emperor, Guo is ashamed of being a Hanchen!" ”
The general said this...... That's an exaggeration......"
Li Ru wiped the sweat on his forehead: "King Hongnong died of illness, Xiangguo was recommended by the ministers, and they are not Xiangguo's selfishness, how can the general say that this is Xiangguo's selfishness?" ”
"If not, is Dong Zhuo a loyal minister?"
Guo Peng sneered: "Although Guo is lonely and unheard, he has never heard of a person who enters and leaves the palace without permission and occupies the palace maid for himself is a loyal minister!" ”
"General...... All the general heard was slander, and it was the slander of the Kanto gang against Xiangguo. ”
Li Ru felt that rhetoric alone would not work, and he had to come up with real benefits.
Originally, he wanted to fool Guo Peng and see if Guo Peng's IQ was high, but now it seems that Guo Peng's IQ is indeed not so low that he will turn back when there is no actual benefit.
"Guo is also from Kanto."
Guo Peng sneered: "Li Ru, when you came to see me, do you want me to deceive myself?" ”
"No, no."
Li Ru hurriedly smiled: "The general misunderstood, Xiangguo couldn't bear to see the general's pearl secretly cast, he hoped that the general's talent could be used in the right place, so he asked Confucianism to persuade the general, general, you see, Confucianism also brought His Majesty's edict, this is Xiangguo recommended the general to His Majesty, and His Majesty gave the general a reward." ”
Then Li Ru began to read out the emperor's edict.
The more I listened, the more surprised the people around Guo Peng.
Dong Zhuo's hand is really big.
However, when it fell into Guo Peng's ears, he felt that there was a full desire to survive.
The "emperor" ordered that as long as Guo Peng served the court (Dong) court (Zhuo), then Guo Peng could be named the hussar general, open the mansion, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households.
Guo Peng's two sons are all marquis, and his father and brothers can also be marquis, and Guo Peng can also make a list of people who can serve as the county guard of the assassin history, and all the imperial court appoints.
Not only that, Dong Zhuo is also willing to form an in-law with Guo Peng, marry his granddaughter to Guo Peng, serve Guo Peng, and the two Dong and Guo families will always be good in-laws, master the government together, and share the glory and wealth.
Brother Gongsun was dumbfounded.
Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Tao was full of anger when he heard it - could it be that the official position of the imperial court could be used by Dong Zhuo to squander it wantonly?
He was about to explode on the spot, and was pulled by Bao Xin.
Bao Xin shook his head at him, motioning for him to see Guo Peng's reaction.
Guo Peng stood up, walked in front of Li Ru, looked at Li Ru with a flattering smile on his face, reached out and took the emperor's edict, and took a closer look, it was really like that, and there was a seal, which had legal effect.
"Hussar general, Kaifu, Wanhu Marquis, son, father, brother, all feudal marquis, clansmen serve as county guards and assassins, hehehehe, Li Ru, the imperial court, is it Dong Zhuo's?"
"Huh?"
Li Ru looked confused.
"Presumptuous!"
Guo Peng kicked Li Ru to the ground, and Li Ru fell to the ground with a wail.
"The public weapon of the Han Dynasty was used by Dong Zhuo to play with it wantonly, the emperor was majestic, he was humiliated by Dong Zhuo, the dignity of the monarch and the ministers was gone, Dong Zhuo ignored the dignity and humility to such a point, the imperial court, is it a plaything in Dong Zhuo's hands? The official title of the Han Dynasty, can it be used to give away people at will without scruples?! ”
Guo Peng was furious: "You also said that Dong Zhuo has no selfish intentions, this edict is clearly Dong Zhuo's edict, asking me to be loyal to the imperial court, and it is clear that you want me to be loyal to Dong Zhuo!" Dong Zhuo's name is Han Xiang, and he is clearly a thief!
Guo doesn't have great talent, but he still knows that as a Hanchen, he eats Hanlu and shares his worries for the Han Emperor, not Dong Zhuo! The dignified Hanchen, how can he be in the same stream with the Han thief! Dong Zhuo is rebellious, overthrowing the royal family, and now he doesn't punish his three clans, but shows the whole country, I won't be blind to death, do you still want to make peace with him? ! ”
"Will ...... Checkmate...... Don't be angry, generals, don't be angry! ”
Li Ru collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and his face was pale.
But seeing Guo Peng stretch out his hand to tear the edict to pieces, he then pulled out his war knife and pointed it at Li Ru.
"Li Ru, I heard that you were the lieutenant commander of Hongnong Wang Lang?"
"Huh?"
Li Ru nodded again and again in horror: "Yes!" ”
"How much do you know about Dong Zhuo's killing of King Hongnong?"
“…………”
Li Ru's eyes widened, and then he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't know anything!" Checkmate! I don't know anything! Dong Zhuo did it, all of it was done by Dong Zhuo, and I was forced to be helpless! ”
"You really can't get out of the relationship......"
Guo Peng was silent for a while when he heard this, and then put away his sword.
"King Hongnong was killed, you did not share the difficulties with the king, but instead served Dong Zhuo and became a lackey under Dong Zhuo, even if it has nothing to do with you, you are also a person who betrays the lord without solar terms, how can the death of King Hongnong have nothing to do with you?"
Guo Peng shook his head.
"Someone comes, arrest this person, choose a day to behead, and pay tribute to the spirit of King Hongnong in the sky."
"Yes!"
Immediately, several tall soldiers entered the military tent, grabbed Li Ru, who had collapsed on the ground and looked pale, and took him away.
"General!"
After Li Ru was taken away, Bao Xin stepped forward a few steps, held Guo Peng's hand, and then saluted Guo Peng deeply: "The general is loyal, Bao admires it!" ”
Subsequently, Bao Tao also stepped forward and saluted Guo Peng with Bao Xin: "The general is loyal, Bao is full of admiration!" ”
The Gongsun brothers also got up and saluted Guo Peng, and then the officers and strategists who were full of tents saluted Guo Peng together.
"Ming Gong (General) is loyal and righteous, and we admire him!"
Guo Peng sighed deeply, looked up at the top of the tent, leaned less, his eyes were red, and a few tears flowed.
"The lord suffers, and the minister is humiliated with him, and it is the sin of the minister to not be able to reproach the lord, where is there any loyalty? This is clearly my fault! The gentlemen are wrong to love, Guo is ashamed and dare not be! ”
Guo Peng bowed down and returned it to everyone present.
"General!"
"Ming Gong!"
The eyes of the people in the tent were red with emotion, and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others, who were full of emotion, were already moved to tears and couldn't help themselves.
Guo Peng condemned his sins with tears, announced that he would march on a certain day to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and to comfort the first emperor to atone for his sins.
That night, Guo Peng was handling military affairs in the barracks, when suddenly a guard came to report that Guo Jia and Xi Zhong had come to look for him.
