During the period of time when Kang Peng led the army to march, Dong Chong had a good life in Chang'an, and without the vicious and terrible big brother pulling his ears at any time to force him to take the right road, Dong Chong honestly stuck to his post in Chang'an for a period of time, and saw that Yonghe Liangzhou was safe and sound, and the threat from the Central Plains and Yuan Shao was firmly blocked by Xu Rong, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang. Li Ru, who stayed in Chang'an, was his junior, so it was not easy to teach him a lesson, so he could only remind him a few words, but unfortunately Dong Chong had always agreed in person, and when he turned his head, he forgot everything and went his own way.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Chuping, the first snow fell in Chang'an City, Dong Chong went to the largest brothel in Chang'an early, and drank and enjoyed the snow with his friends Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang, and by the way, he studied the development of brothels in Chang'an and the service quality of sex workers in Chang'an, which was very difficult.

After experiencing the Gan Ning incident, Kang Peng rewarded him for his merits and deeds, and gave Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang both the idle positions of guerrilla generals, although they were the lowest general positions in the army, and Kang Peng was not stupid enough to let them lead the regular army, and their subordinates were still the original family mates, just wearing military uniforms and receiving a small amount of money and food and military salaries every month, but it also made Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang ecstatic, and they were very beautiful. Later, Kang Peng also really saw that this group of waste troops without the slightest combat power was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to send all this army home to save a batch of military supplies, but Ai Jin and Ma Yi immediately proposed that the two of them pay for the military salaries and equip themselves with weapons, just to not revoke the number of this army, the stingy ghost Kang Peng heard this good thing, and for the sake of Ai Quan and Ma Zhan's face, he immediately agreed to the request of the two, and handed over this army to Dong Chong to manage, so Dong Zhuo's army and even the strangest army in the world were formed, The two adjutant generals paid out of their pockets to pay the military salaries, purchased weapons and equipment, did not go out of exercise or training every day, did not learn to march and set up formations, just stole chickens and dogs, gambled and drank, fought and caused trouble, and the people of Chang'an gave it the good name of the waste material army, also known as the second master army.

"Second master, I heard that the Taishi is playing smoothly in front?" Ai Jin held a glass of wine, hugged the two girls, and asked Dong Chongdao with a smile: "It's almost Chengdu, my old man is going to Yizhou every day to open ten and eight businesses, and in order to win the production control of Shu brocade and well salt in Yizhou, he has already offered 100,000 gold coins to Taishi for military expenses." ”

"Of course." Dong Chong kissed the pink face of the beautiful woman in his arms, and first chuckled in the beauty's ear: "Beauty, second master ILOVEYOU, accompany me at night." Only then did he reply in the coquettish laughter of the beauty: "My eldest brother's Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Army are invincible in the world, and in just two months, they have won Hanzhong and Shangyong, and those little rabbit cubs in Yizhou, that is my eldest brother's opponent?" ”

"In that case." The rough Ma Zhuang held a jar of wine and said excitedly: "Please tell the second master to the master, let's go to Yizhou to fight, add a monkey and add three points of strength." ”

"What do you add? You're trying to get credit, aren't you? Dong Chong asked with a smile, seeing Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang smirking and nodding in acknowledgement, he said again: "But now is not the time, but don't worry, when my eldest brother destroys the main force in Yizhou, I will take you to Yizhou to beat the water dogs, and by the way, check if the girls in Yizhou are beautiful in our Chang'an." ”

"Good! Haha...... "The three gentlemen laughed wildly together, they were proud, Li Ru's personal soldiers came to look for them, and as soon as they entered the door, they saluted and said: "Second master, Xiangye said that he could find you here, and sure enough, he found it." ”

"What's the matter?" Dong Chongqi said that Li Ru was usually so busy that he rarely had time to talk to him, so he didn't expect to take the initiative to send someone to him today. The pro-soldier smiled and said: "Xiangye didn't say it, and the villain didn't dare to ask, and General Ai, General Ma, Xiangye wants you to go with you." ”

This time, Dong Chong was even more confused, he knew better than anyone what kind of goods Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang were, there were more than enough failures, what could Li Ru, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of logistics, do to find them? Talk to them for a drink? But strange is strange, Dong Chong always remembered the instructions of his eldest brother before he set out on the expedition, telling him not to put on a stand as an elder in front of Li Ru, but to listen to Li Ru's dispatch, or obediently put down the beauty in his arms, and took Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang to go with Li Ru's personal soldiers.

After Kang Peng left, Chang'an's official and logistical tasks were all backlogged on Li Ru and Sima Lang, and after working day and night, Li Ru, who was already thin, was even thinner, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.

"Second uncle, Taishi Feige passed the book, and asked you to take General Ai and General Ma to do a big thing." Seeing Dong Chong coming in, Li Ru said straight to the point: "Zhang Liao reported that the Huns living north of the Great Wall have repeatedly crossed the Great Wall recently, and have occupied Shangjun and Yanmen in Bingzhou. ”

"Qianghu Xiao'er, dare to do this?" Dong Chong said angrily: "Xianjia, don't worry, I will go and inform Zhang Liao and ask him to send troops to teach this group of Hu Lu who don't know the height of the sky." Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang also shouted, "Li Xiang rest assured, we will definitely send the order to send troops to General Zhang Liao, and we will not disappoint Taishi." ”

"The second uncle misunderstood." Li Ru shook his head and said: "Zhang Liao's soldiers are mainly to defend against the threat of Yuan Shao in the direction of Baima, and they cannot be transferred casually. Taishi means that the three of you will lead the army to deal with the Xiongnu......"

Li Ru couldn't go on when he said this-because he found that Dong Chong's face was already as pale as earth, his legs were trembling, and Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang were even worse, and even their crotch was wet, which made the air in the hall smell of urine.

"Great." Dong Chong's teeth trembled, and he said with a crying voice: "Are you joking? Those Huns were all fierce, and they were all barbarians who had not been made kings, and there were more than 100,000 regular cavalry alone, and everyone was a soldier, in case we defeated their army (?) ）。 More than 1,500,000 people of their tribe have come to us to settle accounts, what can we resist? ”

"The second master misunderstood again." Li Ru said with a smile: "The Taishi didn't want you to fight with them, but sent you as an envoy to send a batch of tributes to King Zuoxian, stabilize them temporarily, and wait for us to settle accounts with them again, it is very safe and there is no danger." ”

"I see." Dong Chong, Ai Jin and Ma Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, patted their chests and said, "I'm scared to death, you said it earlier." But Dong Chong was still a little worried, "Xianjia, those Huns are all a group of barbarians, and they don't know what etiquette is, even if we go to give gifts, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." ”

"There is a way, reach out and don't hit the smiling person." Li Ru patiently comforted Dong Chongdao: "The gifts given to them by the Grand Master are very valuable and rare, no matter how barbaric they are, they will treat you politely when they see those gifts, at least they will not hurt you." ”

"Oh, then I'm relieved." Dong Chong, Ai Jin, and Ma Zhuang performed a decent military salute, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”

"Very good, please General Ai and General Ma to assemble the army, before leaving, our army will also ask them to send something." Li Ru ordered, and after Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang took the order in fear, Li Ru nodded to the man sitting next to him and said, "Mr. Mo Zhu, let's plant the second master first, I'm sorry for you." ”

The appearance of Lang Zhong named Mo Zhu is not very flattering, triangular eyes, garlic nose, and mouse whiskers, it is not a good thing at first glance, he first bowed to Li Ru, and then turned to Dong Chongdao: "Second master, please take off half of your shirt and expose your left arm." ”

"What? You're not a, why should I undress in front of you? Dong Chong shouted. But Li Ru immediately said: "Second uncle, don't ask, this is the order of the Taishi, and it is also for your good." ”

Dong Chong heard that it was his terrible eldest brother's order, he didn't dare to speak anymore, obediently undressed and exposed his left arm, Mo stopped immediately opening the medicine box, took out a porcelain bottle and an embroidery needle with only half a needle eye, first dipped the embroidery needle in the porcelain bottle, and then used the embroidery needle to pierce the skin of Dong Chong's left upper arm, so that the medicine liquid entered Dong Chong's body, and then said: "Second master, you can put on your clothes." ”

Dong Chong got dressed in confusion, and then Mo stopped and said: "Second master, the villain is an unsuccessful apprentice of Wenhua Hou, on the order of the Taishi, he brought ten military doctors back to Chang'an, the second master's army, everyone has to plant pox according to this method, before they can set off to see the Hun Zuoxian King, the villain also has to accompany you, along the way, please take care of the second master." ”

"Of course." Dong Chong couldn't ask for it, and replied casually: "But you have to bring enough medicine, if the second master has a headache and brain fever on the road, you can also serve the second master." Also, you should also bring enough of those pills that tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang. ”

"Second master, go and prepare." Li Ru shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Mo Zhu, you can just leave the matter of planting pox for other people, now you go to the Taishi Mansion first and inoculate the sons and wives of the Taishi." ”

Hearing Li Ru say this, Dong Chong's heart was suddenly put in his stomach, the eldest brother's wife and sons want to do this, it seems that this must be a good thing. There was no opinion at the moment, and immediately went to organize the army, received food and grass and prepared to set off, but there was some small trouble when planting pox for those second master troops, Dong Chong's subordinates usually fought in groups or something, but they really wanted them to leave blood and loosen one by one, and even the little pain of pox was yelled and yelled one by one, and Dong Chong rarely took out the general's frame to teach them a lesson. "This is a military order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." That's why this gang of waste troops was crushed, and all of them were planted with cowpox.

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Chong left Chang'an with his group of tourists, as well as the ten Lang Zhong allocated by Kang Peng, and as last time, they still used more than 200 cars to pull pots and pans, wine and meat ingredients, birdcage toilets, gambling equipment and card tables, etc., etc., as well as nearly 100 cars of gold and silver jewelry, splendid cloth and clothing sheets that Kang Peng gave to the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and went to Shangjun all the way to eat, drink and have fun.
