Chapter 389: Yiwu
Early the next morning, Zhang Liao took Huangfu Li, Zhao Yun, Shi A, Zuo Ci and twenty guards out of the city on horseback, all the way to the west, and Gu Caiying stayed in Chang'an City to teach the two newly recruited disciples. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among these people led by Zhang Liao, except for Huangfu Li, they are all masters, and the twenty guards accompanying him are all elites, and the descendants brought from the Chang'an Tiger Battalion have practiced animal boxing according to their respective qualifications, and they are superior in both loyalty and combat effectiveness, which can be compared to ordinary generals.
The family of the Huangfu clan lived in Youfufeng Huaili County, halfway between Chang'an and Yiwu, so they went to Huaili first.
When I arrived in Huaili, I saw that there were hundreds of horses in front of the Huangfu family, money and silk were incalculable, twenty horses, and dozens of slaves and maids, and these were all dowry gifts sent by Dong Zhuo first, and the sheng and drum music were blown, and the momentum was very great, and two hundred miles along the way, almost the entire right Fufeng knew about Dong Zhuo's appointment and courtship.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao couldn't help but look solemn, from these dowry gifts, he could see that Dong Zhuo's attention to this engagement and marriage was by no means ordinary, and it was very difficult to stop him.
What worried him even more was that Ma really did not agree to marry Dong Zhuo, and even wore a light mourning dress early in the morning, and went to Yiwu to ask Dong Zhuo to quit his family.
This Ma clan is so unafraid of power, as Huangfu Li said, it is external and internal, I am afraid that it will be difficult to come back when he arrives in Yiwu, and he may even worry about his life.
Huangfu Li is his subordinate, and he supports himself very much in the Jinwu Administration, and now his family is in trouble, how can Zhang Liao ignore it, he has promised Huangfu Li, and he will do his best.
What's more, this incident is indeed a stupid trick by Dong Zhuo, offending the Guanzhong family, which will inevitably accelerate his demise.
The situation was urgent, he didn't say a word, and rushed to Hewu with Huangfu and a few people.
Yiwu is located in Youfufeng Yixian County, about three or four hundred miles away from Chang'an, and nearly two hundred miles away from Huaili. When Dong Zhuo built Hewu, he repaired the three or four hundred miles of Gucci Road from Hewu to Chang'an City, the Chi Road is made of earth and stone, open and smooth, can be used for more than ten vehicles in parallel, there are also Chuanshe Post Stations along the way, it is very convenient to come and go.
Zhang Liao and the others had already brought dry food and water, and there was no rest along the way, all the way to the west, and the horses' hooves were as fast as thunder.
Dong Zhuo's fiefdom Yixian, Yiwu, up to six or seven zhang gatehouse and dock wall, four corners of the tower arrow tower, almost the same as the solid defense of Chang'an City, although not as big as Chang'an City, but not small, Dong Zhuo originally launched more than 100,000 people to build, can be called the world's first dock, called "long live dock", a radius of several miles, the scale than the previous big county town, the dock in the palace room, gather treasures, Jigu for 20 years of storage, and choose the folk young beauties 800 people, gold and jade, color silk, pearls piled up I don't know the number, Dong's family are in it.
In addition to the parts in the fort, there are also attached military houses on all sides of the fort, stationed Dong Zhuo's descendants of the soldiers and horses, led by the left general Dong Min, to guard the dock.
The defense of Yiwu is so strong that after it was built, Dong Zhuo once said that it will be done, and it will dominate the world; No, keeping this is enough to get old.
From this sentence, it can be seen that Dong Zhuo is confident in the defense of Yiwu, but it also shows that his ambition has dissipated.
At this time, Yiwu was colorful on all sides, very lively, Dong Zhuo sat on the brocade couch, looking comfortable and leisurely, and several girls gave him a beating on the back.
Dong Min, the left general dressed in a bright red and gold brocade robe, was busy outside, directing Lu Bu and other sergeants and subordinates to arrange the Wu.
In the inner hall, Chi Yangjun, who was nearly ninety years old and had pale hair, sat there, his wrinkled face smiling. Chi Yangjun has three sons, the eldest son Dong Zhuo died early, the second son Dong Zhuo is the pillar of the family, and the third son Dong Min is now General Zuo. Although her son Dong Zhuo is powerful, she is already a person who is about to enter the ground, and she doesn't care about this, what she cares about most is that Dong Zhuo's eldest son died early, and she has not been able to leave a son until now.
A drooping girl about thirteen or fourteen years old was frolicking happily, it was Dong Zhuo's most beloved only granddaughter, Dong Bai. Under Dong Zhuo's favor, she was more noble than the princess, and before she could reach the throne, she was named Weiyang Jun. On the day of canonization, Dong Zhuo built a high altar in the east of Yicheng, Dong Bai took the Xuan Jinhua Qing to cover the car, a group of captains, Zhonglang generals, and officials of Thorn Shi Qianshi were guided in front, and Dong Huang, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was awarded the seal ribbon as a messenger. Since then, everyone in the Guanzhong has known Dong Bai, and the subordinates of the Dong Mansion also know that if they offend Dong Zhuo, as long as they can get the kind Dong Bai to intercede, they can avoid great trouble.
Inside and outside the lobby, there are Dong Zhuo's daughters and a group of wives and concubines, as well as relatives from all branches of the Dong family in Lintao, who are desperately trying to curry favor with Mrs. Dong and Dong Bai, who are not yet minors, in order to get close to Dong Zhuo and gain power and benefits.
In front of the dock, a carriage came from the east and stopped, and a woman in her forties came down from the car, with a beautiful appearance and good temperament, but she was wearing a light mourning dress, which was the widow of the late Qiang Captain Huangfu Gui, Ma Shi, Dong Zhuo's former mother.
When the guards under the dock saw the visitor, it was a woman in filial piety clothes, and they were very surprised, and they were about to scold them when they took two steps forward.
Ma Shi bowed slightly: "Please report to Master Dong, the surviving Ma family came to the door to ask to see." ”
When the guards heard that this woman was actually the bride that the Taishi was going to marry, they couldn't help but lose their color and hurriedly entered the fort to report it.
Ma stood there quietly, plain white filial piety clothes, and his petite body stood upright in the cold wind.
Not long after, Dong Zhuo, who was obese, took Dong Min and Lu Bu and other guards to the front of the building, and saw Ma in filial piety clothes, Dong Zhuo's expression was slightly gloomy, but seeing Ma's graceful demeanor and elegant and dignified femininity, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with green light, and when others saw this woman, they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Dong Zhuo was full of desire for Ma's, but when he saw the filial piety clothes, he was very displeased, and asked in a deep voice: "Madam, what ......is your filial piety clothes?"
"Taishi." Ma Shi Shiran knelt on the ground with a sad expression: "Although the first husband has died, he treated the concubine with deep affection when he was born. ”
Dong Zhuo's face was suddenly ugly, staring at Ma's with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and with a wave of his big hand, a group of sergeants and servants immediately surrounded Ma's with swords.
Dong Zhuo reprimanded angrily: "The old man is prestigious, and he is salty all over the world, how can he not do it to a woman?" You came just in time, and you will stay in Yiwu today! ”
Ma saw Dong Zhuo brazenly using force, and knew that he couldn't persuade him, that strong temperament came up, and he was not afraid of the swords on all sides, got up and looked at Dong Zhuo, and angrily reprimanded: "The seed of Junqiang Hu is not enough to poison the world!" The ancestor of the concubine, Qingde Yishi. Huangfu's civil and military talents, for the Han loyal ministers, the king is not his tendency to go to the officials? Dare to be rude to Mrs. Erjun! ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was even more annoyed, pointed to the carriage that Ma was riding in, and shouted at the group of slaves: "Pull that carriage over!" ”
The servants hurriedly pulled the carriage over, Dong Zhuo strode forward, kicked Ma to the ground, picked her up again, lifted her to the carriage, pulled her out of a bun, tied her long hair to the wheel, Ma's mouth was bleeding, but he didn't snort, just glared at Dong Zhuo, without fear.
Everyone couldn't bear to see this scene and couldn't help but turn their heads away.
Dong Zhuo shouted at the slaves: "Hit her with a whip and a rod until she submits to the old man!" ”
"Whoa!"
Two Tsing Yi servants hurriedly came up, one with a whip and the other with a staff, and immediately hit Ma's family.
Ma Shi was whipped and caned, looked at the two slaves, and scolded: "Why not be heavy? Fast is a good deal. ”
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he was even more furious and shouted: "Fight! Hit hard! Fight to the death! ”
