"May the prime minister and the lord be blessed!"

The military attachés of the civil ministers present also hurriedly raised their glasses to respect Dong Zhuo, and after the gold bottle in Dong Zhuo's hand was close to his lips, they also drank it all, revealing the bottom of the cup, and praised the good wine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Guo Yan poured the mellow wine into his throat, he glanced at Li Dao beside him with the strength of the wine.

Now the generals in the Liangzhou family, Niu Fu is still guarding in Hedong, Dong Yue and Fan Chou are the only ones who are the first to look forward to Dong Zhuoma, Duan Xuan's attitude is ambiguous, only Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji are still working together, and the limelight of today's military parade horses has been robbed by this group of newcomers from Bingzhou, how can this be done, if it is allowed to go on like this, I am afraid that next time I will let the people of Bingzhou turn to lead them, the old men in the army in Liangzhou.

Li Ji's face was as usual, but the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose trembled slightly, obviously he had already moved, as for Zhang Ji's side, Guo Yan only glanced at it, and saw that he didn't have any different colors, so he also acquiesced, so he took advantage of the strength of the wine, suddenly stood up, and said like Dong Zhuo at the top:

"Xiangguo, today's big reading, you can't be unhappy, we are willing to be Xiangguo. All of you play a song of military music! ”

Dong Zhuo didn't expect that Guo Yan would suddenly get up and ask for his life, and after listening to him say that he was going to play a piece of military music for everyone, he suddenly smiled at the crowd:

"Ado is brave, he has been fighting with me for a long time, he is a famous warrior in my army, he only knows that he is good at arching horses, but he also knows the rhythm of sound, or good, today I will let all the gentlemen here come to see your ability!"

Hearing Dong Zhuo praise his bravery in front of everyone, Guo Yan suddenly showed joy, and under the pride, the scar on his face also shook a few times, and after getting Dong Zhuo's promise, he promised loudly, turned around and stepped off the stage, and went to prepare.

After a while, I saw a well-equipped cavalry also appear from the west side of the empty field and come to the front of the general. The foot soldiers all hold swords and shields, and the horsemen are one-color riding spears, the men and horses are all armored, the knights are covered with black armor, and the half of the war horses are wrapped in black lacquer-colored armor.

And the black-armored cavalry who is the first to show off his martial arts is Guo Yan.

Seeing Guo Yan playing so deliberately, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Ru's eyes, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said with a smile:

"This Captain Guo, isn't he here to play Ten Thousand Dances?"

Jia Xu, who was also sitting at the bottom of the head, was also moved in his heart when he heard this, Li Ru's words were punned, ten thousand dances, it was a dance of civil and military concerts, not an ordinary military music, first a martial dance, the dancer held a dry weapon, and then there was a cultural dance, the dancer held a bird feather and a musical instrument.

On the surface, the meaning of these words seems to have a hint of ridicule, ridiculing Guo Yan as a martial artist, so deliberately pretending to compare with the people of Bingzhou, but losing the demeanor of the original old man in the army.

The deeper meaning is more like beating the other civilian officials present, even Guo Fang, a martial artist, knows how to show loyalty and sincerity to Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo on this important occasion, and other Chinese officials who are also regarded as guests and sit on the platform should also express something.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but secretly glance at Dong Zhuo who was looking up, only to see that Dong Zhuo's face was as usual, and he didn't have any discoloration for Li Ru's words.

Jia Xu suddenly understood in his heart that this was Li Ru's own assertion again, planning for Xiangguo Zhang Luo, and now that Dong Zhuo has successfully entered the court, Li Ru's power has also risen, but at the same time, the competition between him and other civil and bureaucratic subordinates is also increasing.

Li Ru is determined to let Dong Zhuo go further, and at the same time, he is constantly consolidating his position as the chief thinker in Dong Zhuo's heart, not only being hostile to himself who is newly invested in Dong Zhuo's mansion, but also using both soft and hard measures against other court officials, constantly knocking on the side.

Jia Xuchengfu was deep, and he had already thought about Li Ru's heart in his heart, but he still didn't move on the surface, but Tian Jing next to him heard Li Ru's words, and hurriedly sang and said:

"Simple, simple, the party will dance, the sun is in the square, in the front,

Shuo people matamata, ten thousand dances in the public court. Powerful as a tiger, stubborn as a group,

The left hand holds the basket, the right hand is Bingzhai, Heru is ochre, and the public is tin jue.

The mountains have hazelnuts, the Xi has Ling, the clouds are the thoughts, the Western beauties,

He is beautiful, and he is a man of the West. ”

A song in the national style of "Jianxi" is catchy to recite, coupled with Tian Jing's deliberate modification to show the modulation and frustration, although some words are not yet understood by the generals present, but the rhythm of this poem is bright, concise and concise, and it immediately sets off the atmosphere in the banquet.

In the same seat, Wu Qiong looked at Zhou Bi who was seated, and his color changed slightly. He believed that Zhou Yu could also hear what Li Ru meant just now, which was exactly what he was worried about.

Zhou Bi's father is Zhou Shen, and Dong Zhuo had a friendship with the same general in the army, and Zhou Bi himself is also a Wuwei person, and he is a rare Liangzhou civil official above the court.

At first, they agreed to help Dong Zhuo enter the court, because the eunuchs and relatives fought for power, and the court was in a miasma, so they had to rely on Dong Zhuo, who entered Beijing without an edict but had soldiers and horses, to preside over the crisis, but as they got along for a long time, Wu Qiong gradually found that Dong Zhuo's heart did not seem to be like what he said on the surface, "Yi, Huo", just to save the decline and predicament of the Han Empire.

Especially this Li Ru beside him, the signs of ill intentions are even more obvious. Ten thousand dances are not ordinary military music, in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this is a grand dance in the public court, not ordinary courtiers can perform.

In the past, Confucius saw Ji's "Eight Dances in the Court" and felt bitterly that the etiquette collapsed, and said, "It's tolerable, but it's unbearable." And today, Li Ru is nakedly testing these court officials, and no one here feels that there is anything wrong.

Wu Qiong was angry in his heart, but it was only because Dong Zhuo did not express his position in person, but Li Ru's casual remarks that he suppressed his inner excitement and forcibly waited for the changes.

The military dance has been there since ancient times, and the "music of Xingtian's clan" in ancient times was carried out and danced, to the music of King Wu's war, and the music of the victory and dedication of the masterpiece "Dawu", and then to the eighteen songs of the cymbal song in the army by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was sandwiched with propaganda to boost morale.

These large-scale military music are all on a grand scale, and many of them have been preserved, and the court officials who have seen the world naturally look down on Guo Yan's lame and improvised military dance, but fortunately, Guo Yan's flattery is not thrown to the court officials and others.

The foot soldiers formed a large array, striking the shield with swords, and the sword and shield sounded in unison, and during the performance, Guo Yan took the cavalry to gallop back and forth in front of the stage, showing the martial arts and riding skills that Liangzhou athletes were proud of.

At the end, when everyone on the stage thought that this performance was about to end, they didn't expect Guo Yan to gallop to the front of the stage with many horsemen, and saluted and shouted on horseback:

"The lord is wise and brave, the east breaks the yellow scarf, the west is chaotic, the white wave thief is expelled, and the chaos in Luoyang is surveyed, although we are blunt, fortunately attached to the tail, easy to be meritorious, the country has nothing to do, we are willing to hold the wings of Ge to protect the wings, but there is a drive, we are willing to be the master of the Lord to fall into battle, in order to repay the grace of the Lord and the Lord!"

At this time, the footmen behind Guo Yan also began to sing loudly:

"Muye Yangyang, Tanche Huanghuang, Don Peng Peng.

Master Wei, Shi Weiyingyang.

King Liang Biwu, wanton the big merchants, will be Qingming. ”

This is the poem "Da Ming" in the Book of Poetry, praising the battle of Jiang Shang Muye, the story of the division and breaking the enemy, which is not only echoing the previous expression of loyalty and death, but also comparing Dong Zhuo to Jiang Taigong who assists the Son of Heaven and calms the world.

Although the performance is rough, it is better to move with emotion. Dong Zhuo on the high platform couldn't help but change color, as if he had reproduced the scene of Guo Yan and others following him to fight in the south and the north, fighting thousands of miles, day and night, galloping to the city, he raised the gold bottle, drank a cup, looked around at the people in the seat, and laughed loudly:

"Guo Aduo, who has been fighting with me for many years, leading to the division in battle, every war first, people are as their name suggests, they have helped a lot, and they are really warriors on my side!"

With Dong Zhuo's open praise, in the face of Guo Zhuo's deliberate display of loyalty, who of the civil and military forces present dared to laugh at his careful thinking and rudeness, and echoed Dong Zhuo's intentions, praised Guo Zhuo's bravery and loyalty, and congratulated Dong Zhuo for his wisdom and martial arts.

So, when Guo Yan returned to the stage, everyone present also toasted him one after another, and after Guo Yan and Li Wei glanced at each other, they also boldly toasted their colleagues, and the audience suddenly praised the captain with a large number of praises.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Bu, who was still in the focus of everyone's attention before, became a foil, watching them, the old men in the army of the Liangzhou family, boast about their military exploits.

Lu Bu is also a high-minded and arrogant person, in his opinion, today's Dong Zhuo's military parade, he carefully selected the elite division under his command to come, just to show his strength in front of everyone and the strength of the state's soldiers and horses, but this Guo Yanyong is not as good as himself, and the soldiers and horses are not as good as the elite of his own side, regardless of his face, he used this clumsy means of showing loyalty and inviting favor to steal the limelight of the men and horses of the state, which has a very obvious intention for himself.

I don't think that the soldiers are as elite as myself, and if I show off my own martial arts and loyalty, I can really invite Dong Zhuo's respect and favor.

Lu Bu couldn't look down at Guo Yan's villainous appearance after he sat down, and he got up again and asked Dong Zhuo for orders and said:

"Xiangguo, there are also a few warriors under Bu, with Bu in the north of Bingzhou to chase Xianbei, the south of the Huns, they have long admired Xiangguo Huwei, today since there is Guo Xiaowei in front of the martial arts, please order, but also let them appear, for the monarchs to play martial arts, in order to help the wine!"

Dong Zhuo also heard the faint meaning of the contest in Lu Bu's words at this time, he originally wanted to decline Lu Bu's request, but then he thought that since Guo Bi had been allowed to appear in the martial arts today, it disrupted the original plan and steps of the school parade horses, if Lu Bu was not allowed to clear his life, it would give the new people under his command a sense of partiality.

With a wave of his hand, Dong Zhuo agreed again:

"Okay, I don't know the generals under Fengxian's command yet, and I'm here today to meet their martial arts!"

"No!"

After Lu Bu got Dong Zhuo's consent, his face also showed a smile, and he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Guo Yan, who was proud in the seat, and then stepped off the stage to decorate.

"There are many strong men who have heard about it for a long time, and you can also follow me to watch, come, and drink again!"

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu's figure stepping down, looked at the civil and military forces around him, and said loudly, many people in the audience were already slightly drunk at this time, but when they saw Dong Zhuo raising their glasses, they were busy raising the wine bottle and toasting Dong Zhuo's birthday.

It didn't take long for Lu Bu to rush out with his four horses, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hao Meng, like a gust of wind, and from the speed alone, he steadily overwhelmed Guo Yan's movements when he appeared.

Lu Bu had a battle helmet on his head, a crimson robe, an armor drape, and a treasure belt at his waist, plus he was originally a tall and majestic person, and compared to Guo Yan in black armor, he suddenly won a few points.

Lu Bu jumped on the horse and held a halberd, and the four generals behind him held a knife, some held a spear, some raised a bow and arrow, and some used a long sword, plus the horse halberd in Lu Bu's hand, five weapons, five knights, each showing their means, like a storm, driving back and forth, showing their own bravery vividly and exquisitely.

Among them, the two weapons, the horse halberd and the horse halberd, are both very skillful horse long weapons. The halberd in Lu Bu's hand is bigger and longer than the horse halberd in the army, it has both straight and horizontal blades, in the shape of "Bu", with hooks, pecks, stabs, cuts and other uses, its killing ability is better than Ge and spear, but without the corresponding exquisite skills, this powerful cold weapon, on the contrary, can not exert its own power.

Horse is a cavalry spear used as long as one zhang eight feet, but also a horse lance in the Han Dynasty, this weapon is also time-consuming and laborious to make, and the user's technical requirements are very high, in the galloping horse, the use of the Zhangba spear left and right horizontal strike, in addition to the user's arm strength has high requirements, the user for the balance and strength of the grasp, is also crucial, otherwise even if it is a person born with divine power, the use of this Zhangba riding spear, it is difficult to manipulate, only left and right.

Lu Bu's ability, many people here have already seen it, and they have also been mentally prepared for his immediate majesty, so after Dong Zhuo looked at it for a while, he suddenly asked:

"Who is the one who uses the horses?"

Li Ru, who was most familiar with the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou on the stage, immediately smiled and said:

"Xiangguo, this is Cheng Lian under General Lu Zhonglang, who is good at using horses, and is a famous general in the Bingzhou army, it is said that when Lu Zhonglang will fall into battle, this person is a member of the entourage on his side!"

"What a warrior who merges with the ground!"

Dong Zhuo himself is also a fierce general in the army who can shoot left and right with two belts and two mustaches, and he also faintly feels a sense of pity for such a military general with outstanding martial arts.

Just as he was sighing, Li Ru suddenly said:

"In fact, there are not only such warriors in the land, I heard that among General Xu Zhonglang, there are also such warriors in the cool land."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo looked at the five Lu Bu people who were driving back and forth in the open space in front of the stage, with a look of appreciation on his face, and at this time, he suddenly heard Li Ru say that there were also such warriors in Xu Rongjun, and he was suddenly surprised.

Li Ru smiled and continued to add:

"It is said that this person is also good at using spears, and he is very strong, and he can use fifty catties of iron cones, this battle in Hedong, this person attacked the thief's lair, and made the first contribution, Niu Zhonglang's good news, there is this person's name!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, although he was in his fifties, and he no longer went into battle to kill the enemy in person, but as a once famous military general, his preference for fierce generals, BMWs, and weapons in his heart was still undiminished, so when he first saw Lu Bu's martial arts, he was immediately overjoyed that he had obtained a fierce general, and specially gave his mount Red Rabbit Horse to Lu Bu.

Now after Li Ru's reminder, he also has some expectations for this warrior under Xu Rong's command, but after he entered the court, he didn't know how many chapters and battle reports he had handled, and the battles Niu Fu fought in Hedong couldn't play a little bit of the prestige he hoped for, although he was not impressed by the content on the good news, at this time, he couldn't remember the name mentioned on the good news.

So Dong Zhuo turned to look at Xu Rong next, and said to Xu Rong with a smile:

"Is this person as Wen You said?"

When Xu Rong just mentioned that Li Ru took the opportunity to mention Yan Xing, he was also shocked in his heart, and he was a little disgusted by Li Ru's behavior of cultivating his own army in disguise.

He is good at fighting in battle, but he is short at fighting between his colleagues. Acting in the world, he adheres to the righteous way, and he disdains to emulate Guo Yan and Lu Buzhong's behavior of expressing loyalty to each other and showing off martial arts.

At the same time, Xu Rong was naturally unhappy with Li Ru, who was dependent on him, and did not discuss with him, not to mention that Li Ru recommended Yan Xing, who had made him jealous in the first place.

It's just that at this time, Dong Zhuo's eyes have been set on himself, and Xu Rong is not happy in his heart, so he has to admit it out loud:

"This person is from Jincheng, his surname is Yan Mingyan, his name is Yanming, and he is indeed brave!"

"Have you ever come to Shanglin Yuan today?"

"Yan Yan was among the soldiers and horses in the headquarters before."

"Oh, haha, that's because I looked away, and I missed my warrior in the cold land, quick, call him up!"

"No!"

Xu Rong heard that Dong Zhuo was aroused by Li Ru's interest, and couldn't wait to see Yan Xing, so he just agreed and personally stepped down to send someone to summon Yan Xing.

···

Soon, Yan Xing, who was summoned, cautiously followed behind Xu Rong and stepped onto this tall and extravagant platform.

"Pawn Yan Yan, I've seen Xiangguo!"

"You are the Yan Yan who can make an iron cone?"

"The villain's skills are not enough to worry about the country."

"Oh!"

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting on the couch, looked at this warrior who was specially praised by Li Ru with great interest, and saw that he had no other outstanding features except for his burly figure and tough facial features.

All the people on the stage are all civil and military close to Dong Zhuo. But before coming to power, except for Dong Zhuo himself, he had to untie the sword on his body, and Yan Xing naturally couldn't bring his big iron spine that was mentioned by Li Ru, so it was impossible for him to wave the big iron spine in front of everyone like a sword dance to show his strength.

Dong Zhuo thought about it, and suddenly smiled and pointed to Cheng Lian, who was holding a prancing horse in the audience, and said with a smile:

"What do you think of this man?"
