Chapter 219: Simple and Rough Dong Zhuo
Last time, it was said that He Jin was unexpected by Liu Hong, and agreed to change Dong Zhuo to be the commander. Liao Min saw He Jin's friendly attitude towards him, and his heart was a little relieved.
When the other ministers saw that the general had set the tone, although they were puzzled, they still seconded the proposal.
As a result, Liu Hong's holy decree, with the connivance of He Jin, was successfully passed.
The scene that happened in the Han court was "seen" by Zhang Jiao. Now Zhang Jiao started to have a headache again, because he had no idea where this guy named Dong Zhuo came from, and Dong Zhuo's appearance completely disrupted Zhang Jiao's original arrangement. Zhang Jiao had to spend a lot of effort and time to study who this guy named Dong Zhuo was.
Five days later, the holy decree finally came to Dong Zhuo's hands. The opportunity that Dong Zhuo has been looking forward to day and night has finally arrived. For this opportunity to regain his ups and downs, Dong Zhuo spent all the wealth he had exchanged for his previous military exploits, if it weren't for the fact that his Dong family was a tyrant in Liangzhou and had a lot of money, otherwise Dong Zhuo would have spent a lot of money like Dong Zhuo in order to be promoted.
is also because of the huge power of the Dong family, so that Dong Zhuo can maintain a private cavalry guard of 2,000 people.
In addition to getting the opportunity to show his face, Dong Zhuo also officially became a relative of Emperor Liu Hong, and now he is also half of the emperor's relative, in a poor border place like Anyi, Dong Zhuo is definitely a crab-like existence.
Dong Zhuo happily received the decree, thanked him, sealed a big red envelope to the eunuch, and asked the eunuch to say hello to the emperor's cousin Liu Hong on his behalf, which made the eunuch's eyelids jump.
The eunuch had never seen this kind of person who said he was fat and gasped directly. Although Dong Zhuo is indeed fat, he is too direct, and he dares to take advantage of the emperor!
When Dong Zhuo confessed his relatives to the Empress Dowager Dong before, the letter said that according to the seniority of the clan, the Empress Dowager Dong was his aunt, and Dong Zhuo was older than Liu Hong, so in this way, Dong Zhuo really became Liu Hong's cousin. It's just that everyone in the palace knows that this relationship is clearly fake, and if this thing is true, the emperor will not recognize this relative after several years.
It's just that Dong Zhuo can say whatever he likes, that's Dong Zhuo's business. The eunuch will never help Dong Zhuo say hello to Liu Hong, don't you want your own head? The eunuch was only a temporary errand, and the father-in-law in charge of the decree did not have the energy of the ten permanent servants in the court, and if the emperor asked him to die, he would have to die. So this kind of thing that would obviously anger the emperor, he would never touch it.
The eunuch sent a few perfunctory words to Dong Zhuo, excused Dong Zhuo's reception banquet, and did not spend the night in Dong's mansion, but took the team to the post station, preparing to take the team back to Luoyang early tomorrow morning, and get as far away from Dong Zhuo as an idiot, so as not to be affected by him.
Dong Zhuo couldn't figure out where he didn't greet him well, which led to the unhappiness of the eunuch. Originally, the eunuch was still smiling when he received his red envelope, but in the blink of an eye, he was cold-faced? However, the eunuch did not return the red envelope to Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo was not too worried that the eunuch would give him eye medicine in front of the emperor. As the saying goes: "Eat people with soft mouths and short hands." "Since the other party has taken the benefit, it is a promise to do things for himself.
I have to say that Dong Zhuo's way of thinking is really simple and rough.
Although Dong Zhuo is simple-minded, his cavalry troops are not simple. His cavalry troops, like him, were simple and brutal.
How do you say that? That is, the team members are all fat and strong, and they are very rough, and their mounts are also similar to the owner, and the horses are abnormal, which is a reflection of the sufficient daily food.
After talking about being rough, what kind of simple method will the cavalry team have? That's how they fight, on the battlefield, where they are needed, they rush there, and in the middle of the war, where there is a stalemate, they will appear there. Everyone in the cavalry team fought bravely, and everyone was indomitable. Such a desperate iron army is simply a nightmare for the enemy.
Zhang Jiao had seen the past achievements of Dong Zhuo's pro-army and found the seriousness of Dong Zhuo's coming to replace Lu Zhi. He believed that Dong Zhuo's troops and the Hanting Central Army must not be allowed to merge, and Dong Zhuo's troops must be eliminated before they merge.
Two days later, Dong Zhuo personally sent off the eunuch and led the pro-army to Jizhou in a hurry, when suddenly the soldiers in the front row lost their front hooves and fell to the ground. Then the sand suddenly flew on both sides of the flat ground, and then a large group of soldiers with yellow scarves tied on their heads rushed out of the dust.
Madan! There is even an ambush in the plains! Dong Zhuo was a little incredulous, but he quickly calmed down and hurriedly beckoned the troops to gather and retreat.
Dong Zhuo's pro-army is cavalry, while the ambush soldiers of the Yellow Turban are all infantry, and in a short distance, the infantry is definitely not as fast as the cavalry. So Dong Zhuo ran smoothly after losing more than a dozen people. But before he figured out the situation, Dong Zhuo didn't dare to stay in order to eliminate the ambush of the Yellow Turban Army, who knows if there are any reinforcements nearby? Moreover, if the cavalry is completely surrounded by the infantry and cannot run, the advantage of the cavalry with horses will become a disadvantage, because the mount is not a part of the body after all, and no matter how much it is like an arm, it is impossible to completely integrate with the human body, which will lead to the continuation of the movement
Dong Zhuo can't hear it now, but the eunuch in charge of delivering the decree will imitate Liu Hong's expression and tone vividly when the time comes, so everything Liu Hong says now will be transmitted to Dong Zhuo.
The reading of the decree is not just a rigid and solemn recitation of the script, but also imitates the emperor's demeanor and tone, so that the person who receives the decree can feel exactly the emperor's intentions.
Liu Hong not only has a vivid demeanor, but even the title is extremely close. Liu Hong did not call Dong Zhuo by position or Aiqing, but used the words that are only used between relatives and friends.
The ministers below are a little confused, is it the emperor who made a mistake, and doesn't know that Dong Zhuo is the candidate nominated by the general? Or did the generals miscalculate, not knowing that Dong Zhuo was a relative of the emperor? Why does the emperor seem to be happy?
He Jin didn't think he had miscalculated, he had heard about Dong Zhuo and Empress Dowager Dong recognizing relatives, and he just laughed as a joke back then.
It's funny to say, the rules in the palace are very strict, and there are all kinds of secrecy regulations. But the most secret place in the country is the Imperial Palace. Whenever something happens in the palace, it will quickly reach the ears of the big men in the court, and even miscellaneous things such as how long the emperor did not go to the queen, the emperor has no appetite for dinner, and the queen punishes a palace maid who did something wrong, will be spread, but the emperor himself does not know, or he has not paid attention to these things at all.
