Chapter 300: Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger
"Congratulations to the Taishi! A few thieves, in vain, the so-called army, just a rabble, not worth mentioning. All the generals raised their glasses to congratulate Dong Zhuo, to put it mildly, as if the army outside the Tiger Prison Pass was just a bluff of scattered sand, vulnerable to a blow.
Dong Zhuo likes this feeling of being touted the most, it is light and comfortable, especially when he is touted by the beauties in the palace, Dong Zhuo is simply ****.
Dong Zhuo drank a cup of water, grabbed a roast leg of lamb with his hand, took a big bite, swallowed it, and said with a smile:
"That's it, that's it. After drinking this celebration wine, the master returned to the palace in triumph, and if he didn't go back, the people in the palace would soon forget the grace of the master. This tiger prison is closed, just hand it over to Niu Fu, leaving 50,000 Xiliang iron horses is enough, now that the army of Zhuhou has been defeated, the tiger prison is as stable as gold, and no one can make waves. ”
"As for the Bishui Pass, hum! When the Taishi returned to the palace, he sent Li Ru and my son Fengxian to lead the troops over, and they would definitely let Cheng Yuanzhi and the others go around without food. There is no need to mention it now, so as not to damage the Yaxing of this master. Come, go again, this master has to let go of drinking today, don't get drunk and don't return, you don't have to be too restrained, follow this master, what are you worried about, come, drink up. ”
Dong Zhuo decided the main general of the Tiger Prison Pass in a few words, and he was still his son-in-law Niu Fu, when it came to loyalty, Dong Zhuo believed in Niu Fu far more than he believed in Lu Bu. Moreover, as soon as Niu Fu took over the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he pushed the army of Zhuhou, which shows that his sons-in-law are all very human and have unpredictable ability.
Dong Zhuo planned to return to the Luoyang Palace, send another son-in-law Li Ru, and then let Li Ru bring his righteous son Lu Bu to recapture Bishui Pass and concoct today's grand victory. Lu Bu is in Dong Zhuo's heart, he is just a military general, and he can regard Lu Bu as a righteous son, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, this is already a great gift to Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo also gave Lu Bu a wait, which is all a manifestation of Dong Zhuo's reuse of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu is extremely ambitious, and he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
In this tiger prison, Lu Bu was placed by Dong Zhuo and succumbed to Niu Fu, so he recognized it, after all, Dong Zhuo was still there.
But Dong Zhuo was about to go back to the capital Luoyang, and he even asked Lu Bu to assist Li Ru and recapture Bishui Pass, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in Lu Bu's heart.
The son-in-law is only half a son, and Lu Bu's righteous son can top one. If Dong Zhuo reversed and let Lu Bu take the lead, Lu Bu believed that he would definitely be able to do ten times better than Niu Fu and Li Ru.
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is very arrogant, arbitrary, and doesn't listen to people's persuasion, and Lu Bu doesn't dare to persuade more, so he has to admit it, but there are more and more grievances in his heart, and he dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Dong Zhuo was in the Tiger Prison Pass, although there was wine, but there was no beauty to accompany him, his mouth was so light that it was almost boiled water, and after drinking a few glasses, he urged Lu Bu and others overnight, waved the army and led the troops back to the capital Luoyang, and lived back in the palace.
In fact, the reason why Dong Zhuo wants to keep Lu Bu by his side is one thing to distrust Lu Bu, on the other hand, Lu Bu's martial arts can protect Dong Zhuo himself, and put Lu Bu under his nose, Dong Zhuo is confident that he can control Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuojun left 50,000 Xiliang Tie to ride in the Tiger Pass, appointed Niu Fu as the chief general of the Tiger Pass, and Hu Zhen as the deputy general of the Tiger Pass, and returned to the capital Luoyang one after another.
After tossing for several months, the army of Dong was desperate in Niu Fu, collapsed like a landslide, and was defeated like a broken embankment, and it has not been a climate since then.
Bishui Pass, Cheng Yuanzhi stood on the city wall, looking at the direction of the capital Luoyang, his mind was extremely hesitant, and it was difficult to decide.
"Fengxiao, Bishui Pass has temporarily stabilized, in your opinion, is this Sikong entering the capital Luoyang, or waving his army to attack the Tiger Pass? Or do you want to avoid the edge for the time being, learn from all walks of life, and return to the two states first, so as to wait for the time? ”
Bishui Pass is not far from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the battle of the Tiger Pass naturally reached Cheng Yuanzhi's ears, and even Sun Jian and Cao Cao, these undead candidates, also sent people to Bishui Pass to spread the message, inviting Cheng Yuanzhi to send troops, and some people asked Cheng Yuanzhi to enter the capital Luoyang to contain Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses in the Tiger Pass; Some people asked Cheng Yuanzhi to bring the army to the Tiger Prison Pass and compete with Dong Zhuo to win or lose.
After all, the eighteenth road candidates, except for Cheng Yuanzhi, who did not join in the excitement at the Tiger Prison Pass, the other seventeen road candidates are considered to have attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, how can Cheng Yuanzhi be left alone.
The Tiger Prison Pass is high and dangerous, and all the candidates can't attack the Tiger Prison Pass, so if they want to lose, they have to be defeated together, otherwise Cheng Yuanzhi will not be righteous enough and don't take the Hou army in his eyes, seriously speaking, he can be regarded as a traitor like Dong Zhuo.
Bishui Pass is only suitable as an enclave, used as a springboard, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't plan to stay in Bishui Pass all the time, whether it is to go west to the Tiger Prison Pass, or to go north to the capital Luoyang, then there are many more exquisite.
Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't handle it himself, and it was difficult to judge the pros and cons, for fear that if he was not careful, he would make a mistake and lose all the advantages he had won in the early stage.
Guo Jia accompanied Cheng Yuanzhi's side, and also looked up at the scenery under the city wall of Bishui Pass, Guo Jia did not look at the capital Luoyang, let alone look at the Tiger Prison Pass, but just glanced at the near part of Bishui Pass, and said with a smile:
"Lord, Jia knows that the lord has ambitions in the world, and this capital Luoyang is already close at hand, it seems to be within reach, but Jia does not recommend that the lord enter Luoyang at this time, although the lord has tens of thousands of troops, enough to take the capital Luoyang, but even if he takes the capital Luoyang, so what? It's nothing more than becoming the second Dong Zhuo, and it has become a new target for all walks of life to crusade, and there will still be no substantial changes. ”
Guo Jia did not discourage Cheng Yuanzhi's enthusiasm, only talked about the benefits of attacking the capital Luoyang, and did not mention that if Dong Zhuo could not be defeated, the loss would be great if he lost. Luoyang, the capital city, is the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, after more than 300 years, among which the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, the waves are surging, the depth of the water is unfathomable, only with Cheng Yuanzhi's soldiers and horses, and there is no internal response in Luoyang City, I am afraid that it is difficult to achieve things as if it were to ascend to the sky.
Even the previous Yellow Turban thief Zhang Jiao knew that he had to buy one or two Zhongchang attendants as internal responses, otherwise if he wanted to take the capital Luoyang, it would be a fool's dream.
Dong Zhuo was lucky to be able to settle in the capital Luoyang, completely because he had 200,000 Xiliang iron horsemen in his hands, and abolished the new emperor Liu Wei, supported Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to ascend the throne, sat firmly on the throne, and had the merit of following the dragon.
The most important thing is that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was brought up by the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and the Empress Dowager Dong's surname is Dong, and Dong Cheng, the uncle and general of the chariot and cavalry, is also surnamed Dong.
Otherwise, whether Dong Zhuo can successfully enter the palace is still a matter of two words.
"What does it mean to be filial piety?" Cheng Yuanzhi can actually figure it out, but after being ruthlessly broken by Guo Jia, he was relieved.
