Chapter 16 Dong Zhuoao of the Imperial Garden

Listening to Pang Tong's remarks, some people sneered, and some people shook their heads.

Wei Xu bowed his hand to Pang Tong and said: "Shiyuan is too young and ignorant of the world, and this behavior is tantamount to bullying the king." This is Luoyang City, not his Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou! And now that Dong Zhuo has incorporated He Jin's army, Luoyang City is a giant city wall, which will only make the lives miserable. ”

Pang Tong's heart sank, what this person said was actually right, this matter is really confusing. Anyway, this time there was no result, Pang Tong and the others withdrew, and after returning to the camp, Lu Bu asked him: "Why does Shiyuan insist on attacking the city so much, but I think what Lord Wei said is not unreasonable." ”

Pang Tong chuckled and said, "I also have my own opinion, it still depends on the opinions of everyone and Lord Ding." It's just that I always feel that if Dong Zhuo becomes bigger, the people will suffer, so it is better to take advantage of the heroes here and destroy him in one go. ”

Lu Bu poured a glass of water for Pang Tong, and drank a cup to moisten his throat, he said: "Who can predict what will happen in the future, or do it from the present, and do what you have to do." ”

Pang Tong nodded, thinking: "Everything feels right at the moment, because it is all the result of careful consideration, but what the result will be is not something that people can control, and the so-called regret is all in vain." ”

The next day, Pang Tong and Lu Bu were recruited to Ding Yuan's tent again, only to hear that Ding Yuan said: "The holy decree came again, saying that I want the princes to enter the city for a gathering......"

Pang Tong's face was slightly pale, and his vigilance made the skin of his whole body tense, and he said loudly: "This is the Hongmen Banquet!" ”

Zhang Liao stepped out and said, "Your Excellency thinks twice before acting. ”

Ding Yuan said: "Hmph! Dong Zhuo's thief, I don't think he has the ability to understand us and other princes, if he kills us and attacks the city, he will bring about his own destruction! ”

Wei continued: "What the adults said is extremely true. Now it is the decree of God, and it is a sin of deceit to not go. ”

Lu Bu immediately stepped out and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will go first!" ”

Ding Yuan finally showed a little smile and said, "With Feng Xian here, I am relieved." You are a rare general, and you are here today. As he spoke, he got up and walked over, and continued, "Will you be my son?" ”

Lu Bu was dazed for a while when he heard this, and suddenly knelt down and said: "The adults are as kind to the last general, and they are not idle, and the last general is lowly, so I am really grateful." The child bows down to his father! ”

Lu Bu couldn't afford to bow down, and he had already burst into tears. Everyone was moved when they saw it, and Ding Yuan helped him up. Pang Tong curled the corners of his mouth and thought: "I thought that because of my existence, there would be no such bridge, but it turned out that I still recognized my father-in-law, and some things are inviolable." ”

Pang Tong's heart was also happy, and that night for this time to hold a banquet, Lu Bu knelt down in Ding Yuan, and said: "The righteous father is above, and the child worships three times!" After bowing three times, Pang Tong brought a bowl of wine. After Lu Bu took it, he said, "Xiao'er respects his father-in-law!" "He did it all. Ding Yuan helped him up, and Pang Tong brought two more bowls of wine. Ding Yuan took the wine bowl and said, "My good son! He and Lu Bu looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all. The civil and military officials were also drunk happily around.

On the evening of the next day, Pang Tong was afraid that Lu Bu would not be able to cope with it, so he also asked for orders to follow Ding Yuan into the city. I saw that the city could still show its majestic face in the darkness, and the houses stretched out, the roads extended in all directions, the stone slabs under the feet were flat, and the red lanterns stretched all the way into the distance. However, the guards can often be seen on the road, and it is obvious that Dong Zhuo is very careful. Pang Tong poked his head out of the curtain from the small window, and saw that the city wall behind it was full of soldiers, all fully armed. He stuck his head back, with Lu Bu on his side and Ding Yuan in the carriage in front.

Pang Tong took a deep breath and said, "Brother, pay more attention to this trip." ”

Lu Bu asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Shiyuan?" ”

Pang Tong said: "It's really a Hongmen banquet, ambushing soldiers everywhere, this old thief doesn't know what tricks to do." ”

Lu Bu chuckled and said: "Shi Yuan, don't worry, Fang Tian's halberd is carried on horseback, whoever dares to make trouble, I will tell others to fall to the ground." ”

Pang Tong was silent and nodded, very nervous in his heart. He didn't know what the legendary Dong Zhuo looked like. The carriage stopped after a while, but it was not the point, but entered the palace, and the next road was to turn left and right, and I don't know how much time it took to stop, and then the horseman said, "My lord, it's here." ”

Pang Tong stepped out of the carriage, followed by Lu Bu. The two followed Ding Yuan and walked into the compound, which was the royal garden. At night, under the rumors of the lights, the rockery and small bridge are still so natural, which makes people feel comfortable.

As they walked, Pang Tongyi's side seemed to be also a big official, and the man was discussing with the people around him, and he could only hear: "After Dong Zhuo holds great power, he can ask for the title of Marquis of Yi, and he also asks for a new position of Taishi who is above the three dukes." The emperor was forced, how dare he disobey. This guy led men and horses in and out of the palace at will, and the army swaggered through the city. ”

The people on one side were constantly wailing, and someone also said: "He has a large army in hand, and the court is stable, I'm afraid that it will be a **** again, don't be impatient." ”

At night, the minister was afraid to sit down, and Pang Tong and Lu Bu stood behind Ding Yuan. Fortunately, he and Lu Bu had eaten enough before they traveled, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to watch the palace maid bring up the wine and delicacies, but he stared dryly. Although it is a feast, the ministers and princes are all earthy. Suddenly, everyone's spirits rose to a certain height and they looked away. Someone strode in. This man has tendrils on his face, is nine feet tall, has a fat body and a wide waist, and has strong arms. Pang Tong thought to himself: "This person is Dong Zhuo!" ”

Dong Zhuo got into the main seat after entering the hall and laughed: "I feel very cordial to see all my colleagues today!" ”

No one catered to him, but he saw a person behind him step out and say: "What your lord said is very true, seeing that all the people and horses from all walks of life are gathered here, this is a sign of peace." ”

Unexpectedly, Ding Yuan, who was sitting with his back to Pang Tong, spoke: "Why does Master Li want to say so much? We are here by order! ”

Pang Tong thought to himself: "This person must be Li Ru, the number one strategist by Dong Zhuo's side, this person is treacherous and cunning. ”

You don't take this person in your eyes at all, and you are also iron-clad. Dong Zhuo carried the wine bottle, drank with everyone for a few rounds, and suddenly raised his glass to the sky and said: "The big man is in danger, and I need Mingjun to lead me to enjoy wealth and wealth." I propose to make King Chen Liu the emperor, I don't know what you think? ”

Pang Tong gritted his teeth, knowing that this was a big deal, and the people around him seemed to be frozen, and his expression was as stiff as a statue. After a long time, Dong Zhuo saw that no one spoke, drank all the wine, threw the glass on the ground, and pressed the handle of the knife with his hand. He smiled again, "Do you have the same opinion as you?" ”

No one dared to speak. Just as Dong Zhuo laughed proudly, Pang Tong was shocked, Ding Yuan overturned the table and got up, but said angrily: "The young emperor is the eldest son of the Spirit Emperor, the chosen one, and the emperor of all peoples, how can he say that he will be abolished?" ”

Dong Zhuo was startled at first, but after hearing this, he was furious, pulled out his waist knife, and was about to rush forward. At this time, Pang Tong aimed at his waist knife, thinking that he and Lu Bu had scraped him at this moment. Lu Bu also held his weapon tightly at this time. But Dong Zhuo was stunned, and his gaze locked on Lu Bu behind Ding Yuan. Lu Bu was just twenty years old at this time, one zhang tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face and a wide mouth, and a majestic spirit, as majestic as a god. He was holding a Fang Tian Painting Halberd. The halberd is decorated with gold painting, which adds to the domineering spirit of the bearer under the night light. Pang Tong on the other side is eighteen years old, he is eight feet tall, his face is like grease, his lips are like red pink, the bridge of his nose is high, his eyes are bright, he is looking at Dong Zhuo, and his eyes are like sharp arrows. Dong Zhuo suddenly lost his soul and hurriedly retreated. He saw that Lu Bu was very powerful, and Pang Tong was not a character to be messed with, so he had to abandon the knife to the ground.

Pang Tongxin called it a pity, if he was cut down directly, maybe he could still be killed with his bravery, or maybe he could directly hold the remaining Li Ru hostage and make the soldiers defect, which is a pity. At this time, Dong Zhuo's advisor Li Ru said loudly: "Don't sweep everyone's interest. Mrs. Dong was angry, and Ding Zhoumu drank too much. ”

One person attended, and it was Situ Wang Yun, who persuaded peace: "This is a wine banquet, how can we talk about state affairs." We can just taste the wine and admire the moon. ”

Pang Tongyi grabbed Ding Yuan's arm and said softly: "Don't mess around, adults, it's all their people here." Ding Yuan knew the situation, so he could only stuff his anger into his stomach. Pang Tong and Lu Bu accompanied him away, and no one followed them, and the others continued to sit. When I got to the door, I saw that Situ Wang Yun had just followed, walked to Ding Yuan's side and whispered: "Lord Ding sees the opportunity to act, Dong Zhuo has the power of the army, and it is difficult to shake it." ”

Ding Yuan's face was ugly, but he just nodded. The three of them returned in a horse-drawn carriage. When he arrived at the barracks, Pang Tong thought that Ding Yuan was going to withdraw his troops, but he immediately called him and Lu Bu to the big tent and ordered all the civil and military officials to come over. Pang Tong thought to himself: "The words of the old man just now were not listened to by the upright Lord Ding, this is going to cause trouble." ”

Ding Yuan's face turned red and said: "Dong Thief treats the Han family as his own seat, and he dares to abolish the emperor, it is ridiculous, ridiculous!" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Your Excellency can invite other court ministers and heroes from all walks of life to discuss this matter together......

Ding Yuan got up and said, "Let the messenger go all over all the villages tonight and ask for clarification!" ”

Pang Tong thought to himself: "It's really a problem whether those people do it or not, otherwise why don't you fight on the spot?" "But he couldn't say anything. Early the next morning, they were called into the tent again, and Ding Yuan said angrily: "Those so-called heroes have all withdrawn their troops, what is the imperial court official, it is really ridiculous!" ”

Pang Tong's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Since all the people and horses are unwilling to raise troops to attack the city, we will also ......."

Ding Yuan said angrily: "The three armies obey the order!" Kill me, I'm going to take down his city!" ”

Pang Tong's heart was not good, and Lu Bu even echoed Ding Yuan, he said: "I am willing to be a pioneer for my father-in-law!" ”

Zhang Liao also said: "We will repay the Han family with this life!" ”

Pang Tong's heart was cold, he really couldn't insert a word, and it was hard to say anything. He clenched his fists, and a feeling of weakness welled up in his heart.

Ding Yuan, like the other forces, was stationed outside the city, and at this time all the men and horses were packing up their camps, but Ding Yuan was ordering troops to go into battle.

Ding Yuan led the troops to challenge outside the north gate of Luoyang City. I saw him shouting: "Dong thief, don't surrender quickly!" ”

After a long time, Dong Zhuo went up to the city wall, and when he saw this, he scolded: "You, an old horseman, dare to come to me to spread wild, you don't take the imperial city seriously." Okay, if you want to find death, I'll accompany you! ”
