North of Luyang City, Xiliang Army Camp.

In the golden tent, Dong Zhuo hugged left and right as usual, eating meat and drinking wine.

No matter when and where the sky falls, no matter when and where, no one can stop Dong Zhuo from having fun anytime, anywhere, in time.

Just when Dong Zhuo was happy, the soldiers outside the tent entered with an object, claiming that it was a gift sent by Su Zhe to Dong Zhuo.

"A gift from the little bunny? When did he become so filial that he would give a gift to the old man? Dong Zhuo put down the wine glass and looked strange.

Niu Fu's eyes lit up next to him, and he hurriedly said: "Taishi, maybe Su Zhe was tortured by our light cavalry attack and had no way out, so he sent someone to offer gifts and ask for peace." ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly became excited, pushed Mei Ji beside him, and said with a smile: "The little rabbit cub really can't hold on, hurry, open the things, and let the old man see what great gift he gave to the old man." ”

When the soldiers received the order, they put the long wooden box they were holding on the ground, and slowly lifted the lid in front of everyone.

A bloody severed arm crashed into view.

Everyone gasped, their faces changed in shock, and they shivered.

Dong Zhuo was also taken aback, and suddenly became furious, and scolded: "Okay, you little rabbit cub, you don't know life or death, if you don't ask for peace, you dare to send this thing to scare the old man, you are looking for death!" ”

Dong Zhuo scolded, Niu Fu and others all scolded.

Only Li Ru was suspicious, and he walked up boldly, squatting down and carefully examining the broken arm.

Suddenly, Li Ru shuddered, took a few steps back, turned his head and pointed to the wooden box, and said in a trembling voice: "Taishi, this is ...... Be...... It's Brother Juan's arm! ”

Dong Zhuo suddenly changed color, jumped up, strode forward, picked up the wooden box and looked at it carefully.

He saw that under the torn sleeve, the scar like a crescent moon, that mark was very unique, it was obtained when Dong Huang followed him to conquer the Qiang people, and it was unique.

In other words, the owner of this arm is none other than Dong Huang.

In an instant, Dong Zhuo felt as if his heart had been hammered with a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of old blood surged into his throat, almost turning his back on his breath.

His fat figure staggered back a few steps, almost failing to stand firm.

"Taishi!" Li Ru hurriedly stepped forward and held him up.

Dong Zhuo held Li Ru with one hand, pointed to the south direction with the other, his face was distorted, and he scolded angrily: "Su Zhe, you little rabbit cub, you dare to cut off the arm of Lao Tzu's beloved nephew, deceive people too much, deceive people too much, Lao Tzu I don't break your corpse into pieces, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Dong!" ”

In the tent, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and even Yang Feng and other generals of the Baibo Army were all shocked and discolored, and they were deeply shocked by Su Zhe's methods.

Of course, they knew that Su Zhe's intention of cutting off Dong Huang's arm and sending it to Dong Zhuo was to retaliate for Dong Zhuo's burning, killing and looting of Nanyang.

This is a warning, clearly telling Dong Zhuo to stop the burning of Nanyang immediately, otherwise, the next time it will be not only Dong Huang's arm, but his head.

Li Ru, who was helping him beside him, rolled his eyes a few times, then looked at Jia Xu and complained: "I said Jia Wenhe, it's all your strategy, and my brother Huang broke an arm and suffered such a big crime." ”

Dong Zhuo, who was extremely angry, was so angry that Li Ru immediately glared at Jia Xu, and seemed to have the intention of complaining.

Jia Xu said lightly: "Since ancient times, people who are for the world have not taken care of their families, thinking that when Gaozu and Xiang Yu confronted each other in the chasm, Xiang Yu threatened to cook Gaozu's father, but Gaozu was unmoved, and after talking and laughing, he also asked Xiang Yu to finish cooking, don't forget to give him a piece of meat, who should the Taishi take as an example, naturally he knows it in his heart, if the Taishi really wants to blame the eldest prince, Xu is willing to accept the guilt, there is nothing to say." ”

A speech, like a slap on the head, instantly woke up Dong Zhuo who was in anger.

His body shook for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of sudden realization in his eyes, and he let out a few breaths in succession, barely suppressing the flames of anger.

After looking down at the broken arm of the box again, Dong Zhuo had to swallow the bitter water, sighed lightly, and closed the wooden box.

Then, he waved his hand and sighed: "Jia Wenhe, you think too much, it is your duty to give advice to the old man, whether to adopt your strategy or not, it is the old man's business, no matter what kind of result happens, how can the old man blame you, this kind of bearing, the old man still has it." ”

"The master is wise." Jia Xu arched his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Dong Zhuo regained his composure, and the atmosphere in the tent finally calmed down a little.

"Taishi, then will our attack on Nanyang continue?" Niu Fu asked tentatively.

Dong Zhuo wanted to speak and stopped.

He was in a quandary.

If he didn't continue, how could he force Su Zhe to give in, and how could he take back the Son of Heaven?

If it continues, it may force Su Zhe to kill Dong Huang, which is really heartbreaking for Dong Zhuo, who has always valued his family.

He was in a tangle.

Dong Zhuo sat back and gulped down the wine, but his mind was full of what Jia Xu had just said.

"Those who are for the world do not care about their families, and those who are for the world do not care about their families......"

After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo suddenly sighed: "Niu Fu, Li Ru, you two are the most trusted people of the old man, the old man is a little tired, about whether to continue to attack Nanyang, this matter is up to the two of you to discuss." ”

As he spoke, Dong Zhuo stood up and returned to the back tent tiredly.

In the big tent, everyone's eyes were on Li Ru and Niu Fu, waiting for them to make a decision.

The two of them were not fools, and they immediately understood what Dong Zhuo meant.

Dong Zhuo had already decided to sacrifice Dong Huang, but it was only because he was afraid of his family and family affection that he was not good at giving orders himself, so he threw this problem to their two sons-in-law.

Dong Zhuo's decision was right in the hands of the two of them.

Li Ru and Niu Fu naturally wanted Dong Huang to die, so they wanted to give an order on the spot to continue to attack Nanyang, and they had to increase their efforts.

It's just that the words came to their mouths, but neither of them came out.

Of course, they also know that if anyone opens their mouths first, it will be equivalent to carrying the black cauldron that killed Dong Huang, and maybe one day Dong Zhuo will turn his face and blame him.

"Brother Wenyou, what do you think we should do? You're brother-in-law, you decide. Niu Fu kicked the ball to Li Ru.

Mother, at this time, I remembered that Lao Tzu was my brother-in-law......

Li Ru scolded secretly in his heart, but he hurriedly shook his head and said: "Such a major event is not the time to discuss seniority, since the Taishi asked the two of us to decide, how can I make a decision casually." ”

"That'...... So how do you say we decide? Niu Fu looked embarrassed.

Li Ru's eyes rolled, and he said: "That's it, you and I take a piece of paper, if you agree to continue to attack Nanyang, draw a circle, if you want to collect troops, draw a horizontal, and when the time comes, mix together and open it, if you agree, you will do it, if it is inconsistent, then we will discuss it again, what do you think?" ”

"It's a good idea, so let's do it." Niu Fu's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.

In Niu Fu's heart, of course, he wanted to put Dong Huang to death, since this was the case, he had to agree to continue to burn, kill and loot Nanyang.

But this can't be said explicitly, in case he agrees, Li Ru takes the opportunity to object, and then he will become the one who wants to kill Dong Huang, so that Li Ru will get cheap.

On the contrary, for Li Ru, the same is true.

The wonderful thing is that Li Ru's method made their decision-making anonymous, and if the two disagreed, anyone could deny that they voted in favor.

If the two of them agree and plan to borrow a knife to kill people and want Dong Huang's life, then this black pot will be carried by the two of them together, and no one wants to take advantage of it.

Niu Fu agreed, and Li Ru called for a pen and paper, and the two turned their backs and drew their own answers on the silk paper.

After the drawing, the two of them gathered the paper, mixed it together, and threw it on the desk.

"Yang Feng, you can reveal the answer." Li Ru called Yang Feng, the white wave general, to avoid suspicion.

Yang Feng had no choice but to step forward, unfold the two paper balls one by one, and display them in front of the generals.

Two laps.

On this matter, the two of them finally reached an agreement and agreed to continue the use of troops.

Seeing this result, Li Ru and Niu Fu glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths rose, and a knowing sneer quietly swept over.

The generals also seemed to be expected by this result, and naturally no one dared to object.

Niu Fu coughed dryly, brushed his hand and said: "You have all seen the decision of me and Brother Wen You, just follow the order, and continue to give me blood in Nanyang!" ”
