Chapter 290: Lu Bu Conquers Yang City
When Li Dao and Guo Yan entered the palace with a thousand flying bear troops, they frightened the ministers in Luoyang City. Because they didn't know what Dong Zhongying was going to do, they were afraid that Dong Zhuo would do something earth-shattering.
As a result, when he learned that Dong Zhuo sent his subordinates to bring troops into the palace in the name of protecting King Chen Liu, and King Chen Liuwang agreed. Everyone was relieved, and their hanging hearts were relieved, but some people were even more worried.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he, Dong Zhuo, keeps saying that he is protecting King Chen Liu, but in fact, in the name of protection, he just stretched out his hand to the palace, and also looked at King Chen Liu. It makes everyone else dare not act rashly, the so-called rat trap, now that even Chen Liuwang has been controlled by Dong Zhuo, so who dares to fight Dong Zhuo's idea again. Aren't you afraid that he will kill King Chen Liuwang first? Therefore, Dong Zhuo took this step, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop, and the calculation is good. And if Liu Xiezhen, the king of Chen Liu, was killed by Dong Zhuo because of whom, then no one can afford to bear such a charge.
After Wang Yun learned the specific news, he still scolded Dong Zhuo in the mansion, but this time he scolded lightly, and it came to an abrupt end at the end. In fact, it wasn't that he was afraid of Dong Zhuo, but he suddenly thought that it would not be good if the wall had ears, or if there was Dong Zhuo's traitor in his house. Although he is not afraid of Dong Zhuo, he can avoid trouble at this time, after all, to deal with Dong Zhuo, judging from the current situation, there is a long way to go, and if it is not good, it will be a protracted battle, so he can't lose here. As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yun no longer scolded Dong Zhuo, but just held all his words in his own heart.
Now Wang Yunzhi said that he had to be cautious, so he let himself be dormant from then on. As the saying goes, "a dog that bites doesn't show its teeth", although Wang Yun can't say that he is an animal, but in fact it means something about the same.
And after Yuan Shaozhi told him about it, he said in his heart, it seems that Luoyang is really a place of right and wrong, and it is not suitable for him to stay for a long time. Rather than being in such a dangerous place, you have to be on guard against Dong Zhongying at all times, and there are some other people who are eyeing the Yuan family unfavorably and preparing to fall into the well, it is better to find an opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong quickly. Yuan Shao had already made up his mind at this time, and he was ready to find a good time to leave Luoyang. Isn't it easy to get out, Yuan Benchu is a contemporary Yuan family talent, but in fact, it is not a waste of fame.
But you must not leave like this, no matter how you say that you are also a talent of the Yuan family's generation, if you really leave like this, you will definitely be laughed at by the world. If you want to go, you have to go vigorously, you can't let people think that you are afraid of him, Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying. Thinking of me, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu were not afraid of him Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, even if he Dong Zhuo and Chen Bing were hundreds of thousands, I still want the world to understand that I, Yuan Benchu, have nothing to fear about this!
Yuan Shao is only a lieutenant now, but this is actually far from his goal. Yuan Shao is the most outstanding contemporary talent of the Yuan family, and the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, so in his thoughts, he has to be the third duke at worst. And from his own place, it is time to start calling the fifth and third dukes. This is what Yuan Shao thinks now, and the worst has to be Sangong. I have to say that Yuan Shao's heart is really big.
He actually had similar thoughts to Cao Cao before, so he and Cao Cao have been friends since childhood. Of course, that can only be said to be a matter of youth, as he gets older, Yuan Shao is slowly changing. Because he felt that Cao Cao's kind of thinking was not suitable for him, he should still work hard to reach the position of the third duke, which was really high and powerful in the Han Dynasty. Now he is proud of the Yuan family, and one day on, the Yuan family will be proud of himself.
And now Cao Cao, he has another idea. Knowing Dong Zhuo's troubles, of course he understands that now Dong Zhuo's momentum has been achieved, and he will not be able to destroy him overnight. But he doesn't have any good way to do it, after all, Dong Zhuo hasn't done anything big to anger people, so if he doesn't take advantage of the righteousness, there is no way to do this.
It's a pity that the big man is in turmoil, and now that Dong Zhuo has entered Beijing again, I don't know how the big man will be tossed by him. With Cao Cao's understanding of Dong Zhuo over the years, Dong Zhuo is not a minister of Zhongxing, he has indeed paid a lot for the Han, and maybe he will do something for the Han in the future, but he has to think more about himself. Because Dong Zhuo is no longer the Dong Zhuo he used to be, people are changing, but he, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying in Longxi, have also become what they are now.
In fact, don't talk about him Dong Zhuo, isn't it even Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. When Cao Cao learned that it was Ma Chao who took the prince away, he suddenly felt that although he was familiar with Ma Chao, he might not really know him Ma Mengqi. Because of a courtier, how can he not take the future emperor away, maybe he wants to protect him, but Cao Cao still feels unacceptable. But he Ma Chao did it, and he did it under everyone's noses.
In fact, he is also changing, so what will he become after he is the worst, Cao Cao doesn't know now. Will it be like him Dong Zhuo? From a loyal and good general who would think about the Han at the beginning, to such a powerful minister who is now more just for his own interests? is still like Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, doing what he thinks is right, without considering what others think. No, it won't, how can I, Cao Mengde, be like him Dong Zhongying and Ma Chao, absolutely not!
I, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, have been determined since I was young that my male husband should follow the example of Wei and Huo, open up territory for the Han Dynasty, and become an immortal achievement. Report to the country, go down to An Lishu, not in vain to go to the world, after his death, he has to inscribe the tomb and say: "The tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the Han Dynasty who conquered the west", his life wish is enough! And this ambition has never been forgotten to this day.
Although Cao Cao seems to have shaken a little, he has not changed much. He is not Dong Zhuo, let alone Ma Chao, nor Yuan Shao. Cao Cao is just Cao Cao, the Cao Cao Mengde who wants to engrave on the tomb, "The Tomb of Cao Hou, the General of the Han Dynasty's Expedition to the West".
Two days later, when Dong Zhuo was feasting everyone in Wenmingyuan, he actually wanted to use this to establish his authority, because they wanted to discuss the succession ceremony of the new emperor.
And at this time, the horse came to report: "My lords, the state pastor Ding Yuan led the state pastor to the city of Luoyang!" β
When everyone heard this, except for Dong Zhuo, everyone else could be said to be happy in their hearts. And Dong Zhuo only snorted coldly after hearing this, and then looked at Li Ru standing next to him, Li Ru nodded slightly to him.
Dong Zhuo understood, so he said to everyone: "The so-called 'early is better than good luck', since he Ding Jianyang came at the right time, why don't you all go with me to welcome him into the city!" β
When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything, and they didn't make any moves. Because no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in Dong Zhuo's gourd, no one dared to act rashly at this time.
So Dong Zhuo glanced at everyone, and said in his heart, it seems that these people are not to worry, not to worry. It's a shame that I still look down on them, but now it's not my opponent. Dong Zhuo does feel a little good about himself, in fact, if everyone doesn't say anything or make any moves, it doesn't mean that they are inferior to him, on the contrary, this is not a means to protect himself. After all, even his life is gone, and there are other things to talk about.
It was Cao Cao who was the first to speak, "What Dong Gong said is very true, it is better to go with Dong Gong and go to welcome Ding Jianyang, the pastor of Bingzhou, into the city!" β
Now Cao Cao won't call Dong Zhuo Zhongying, first because of the difference in strength, Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of horses are stationed outside the city, who would dare to call him a brother? However, Cao Cao was not afraid of him Dong Zhuo, in fact, this was the meaning of Cao Cao wanting to distance himself from Dong Zhuo. After all, Cao Cao really didn't want to be with him, but he had no choice but had to get in touch, so Cao Cao was helpless. In the end, he could only tell himself at all times in terms of title, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying He has changed, no longer Brother Zhongying, but Dong Gong, Dong Gong.
Since Cao Cao is the first bird, everyone is naturally happy to do so, and everyone laughs, "What Meng De said is very true, Dong Gong, please!" β
"Please!"
β¦β¦
In this way, everyone went to the city gate with Dong Zhuo to pick up Ding Yuan. Dong Zhuo came from the west before, so his army was also stationed at the west gate of Luoyang. Ding Yuan, on the other hand, came from the east of Bingzhou, so he was now at the east gate of Luoyang and was preparing to enter the city.
After everyone brought Ding Yuan into the city, the state army had already been stationed, and in addition to his personal guards, only his army chief was also his righteous son, Wuyuan Lu Bulu Fengxian, and none of the other generals entered the city.
To say that many people have heard of Wuyuan Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, but almost no one has seen it, so this is the first time I have seen it. Those who really saw Lu Bu and understood that they all sighed secretly in their hearts, what a bear and tiger general! Lu Bu is not only good-looking, but also a bunch of pieces that make people feel like this. The general of the bear and tiger is much more powerful than the general of the tiger and wolf, and there are many people who describe the general of the tiger and wolf, but there is only one person who uses the general of the bear and tiger, Lu Bu.
Everyone returned to Wenmingyuan with Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, and someone had already added an extra position, and Ding Yuan also sat down unceremoniously, as for Lu Bu, who was wearing armor all over his body, he held Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and fought behind Ding Yuan.
After everyone sat down, they suddenly found that the temperature seemed to have dropped by a few degrees at this time, and they didn't know whether Lu Dao Lu Bu was intentional or unintentional, and the momentum on his body was released as if it were nothing. What kind of person is Lu Bu, that is a top military general, and his momentum is certainly not something that others can have. Dong Zhuo also felt that his momentum was already low, but he couldn't help but talk about the things he wanted to discuss today.
So he still spoke out first and said: "Everyone, King Chen Liuwang is smart and studious, and he can inherit the throne, I don't know what you think?" β
Wang Yun spoke first: "Dong Gong's eyes are like torches, it is true. We seconded the proposal, and March 16 is the auspicious day of the zodiac, when the new emperor succession ceremony should be held! β
This was also the day when they all discussed before Dong Zhuo came. And the other ministers hurriedly said: "I'll second!" β
Dong Zhuo frowned slightly when he heard this, "I intend to hold the enthronement ceremony on March 15, what?" β
Yuan Shao stood up and said: "No, I think March 16 is good!" This is the will of everyone, is Dong Gong unwilling to follow the will of everyone? β
To say that Yuan Shao's words are indeed a bit like that, just such a sentence has already put everyone into it. You see that no one wanted to say much at this time, but he Yuan Shao was the first to pop out, and then said that this is everyone's meaning, don't you Dong Zhuo respect everyone's meaning. Several people secretly scolded Yuan Shao for being troublesome, and this time they pushed themselves and others to the cusp.
As soon as Dong Zhuo heard this, he became angry, what did he say in his heart, what did everyone think, I, Dong Zhongying, have 200,000 heavy soldiers in my hands, do I have to look at your faces? Joke, that's what I decided today, what can you do?
"Hmph, this matter is up to me, see who dares to object! Don't you deceive my army, is there nothing to do? β
Saying that, Dong Zhuo glared at Yuan Shao angrily, and said in his heart that he wanted to use this to establish his authority now, so someone like Yuan Shao had to suppress him. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had to climb on their heads, now let them see and see, "How many eyes does Lord Ma have".
Yuan Shao also snorted coldly at this, "Hmph, others are afraid of you Dong Zhongying, but I, Yuan Benchu, am not afraid!" Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called 'different ways, not conspiring with each other', Yuan has resigned! β
After speaking, Yuan Shao turned around and left, Dong Zhuo wanted people to kill Yuan Shao, but Li Ru secretly pulled him and said to him softly: "The lord is angry, Yuan Benchu can't kill this person!" β
Dong Zhuo thought about Li Ru's words, and he was right, Yuan Shao really couldn't kill him, so he wouldn't be able to kill him, "Let him go today!" β
Then Dong Zhuo said: "Everyone, I don't know who still has objections to this? β
Just when Dong Zhuo thought that no one would oppose him anymore, he only heard Ding Yuan sneered a few times, "Hahaha, Dong Zhongying, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?" β
Dong Zhuo is so angry, originally one Yuan Shao was enough to make him angry, but now this is Ding Yuan again. And this Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao are not the same, Yuan Shao just has the Yuan family to rely on, after all, the Yuan family is very powerful in the court, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials. But this Ding Yuan came directly with the Bingzhou army, and it seems that he brought 50,000, which is definitely a lot. Don't look at yourself as having an army of 200,000, it's true, but if you take out 50,000 by yourself, it is estimated that you are not the opponent of the army of the people.
After all, they are the regular army of the Han Dynasty, and themselves, except for the elite Flying Bear Army, the other soldiers still can't compare with others. How many years he has trained his own soldiers, and how many years he has trained his own soldiers and state troops, is indeed incomparable.
More importantly, there is Lu Bu standing behind Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu's big name, has also heard of it. Although this is the first time to meet, Dong Zhuo can see from the other party's momentum that it is unique, and not everyone can compare. With such a bear and tiger general, it is no wonder that he Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang look fearless.
But Dong Zhuo still couldn't help it, "Ding Jianyang, are you against it?" β
Ding Yuan glanced at Dong Zhuo, "Farewell!" β
As he spoke, Ding Yuan stood up and left, and Lu Bu, under his secret signal, kicked up Ding Yuan's previous table case with one kick, and then used Fang Tian's halberd to slash at the flying table, and the table was divided into several pieces at once.
Everyone was shocked, and said in their hearts that they dared to do this in front of Dong Zhongying, they were really impatient. But thinking about it again, Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang should also be bold, just looking at Lu Bu behind him, he didn't take Dong Zhuo in his eyes at all.
Dong Zhuo was angry, and said angrily: "Ding Yuan, you deceived me too much!" Do you dare to fight outside the city? β
Ding Yuan smiled: "Hahaha, accompany me to the end, I'm afraid you won't come!" After speaking, he and Lu Bu left without looking back.
Dong Zhuo didn't dare to stop the two, so he still said: "I have made up my mind, on March 15th, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, everyone disperse!" β
Don't look at Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan, they all dare to say it, but the people who are still present at this time have their own ideas, so naturally they don't say much. After all, March 15 and March 16, to be honest, there is not much difference, and it is not a big deal to change it.
