Chapter 17 Dong Zhuo Gu Thatched House
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.
Dusk and sunset, Dongjun, Taishoufu.
"Uncle, that Xu Huang said that his parents are alive and can't travel far, so he refused to be called. The little nephew couldn't persuade him to come and ask his uncle to surrender his guilt. ”
Dong Huang failed to conquer Xu Huang, so he insisted on leaving the gifts he brought, and hurried back with people to report to Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Dong Huang stood in the center of the lobby, clenching his fists and thinking about Dong Zhuo's report. He knew very well that Dong Zhuo would not let go of Xu Huang, and as a last resort, his uncle would probably do whatever it took to do so.
Dong Zhuo listened to Dong Huang's return, paced back and forth on the ground, didn't say anything, just waved his hand at Dong Huang. Seeing this, Dong Huang hurriedly retreated to his seat and sat down quietly.
Everyone saw that Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, just walked back and forth in the lobby. He didn't say a word, but waited quietly. In the silence of the lobby, only the sound of Dong Zhuo's footsteps could be heard.
After a long time, Hua Xiong, who was short-tempered, couldn't help it first, jumped up and roared: "Lord! Why bother, since that kid doesn't know how to lift, he will take someone to Yang County to tie him up, and wait for the lord to leave. ”
Dong Zhuo heard Hua Xiong's words, and immediately became angry, and scolded Hua Xiong: "You reckless man, did you let you speak?" Shut up Lao Tzu. When Hua Xiong heard this, he had to shut his mouth and sit down.
Seeing this, Li Ru proposed: "Father-in-law, why don't you go to Yang County and see if you can invite Xu Huang here." ”
Dong Zhuo ignored Li Ru, but turned to look at a Confucian scholar about thirty years old in the third position on the left side of the lobby, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
This Bo is Wei Bo Covet, the eldest son of the Hedong Wei family recommended by Li Ru to Dong Zhuo yesterday. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru came to visit in person this morning, and they were invited, and now they are appointed by Dong Zhuo as the main bookkeeper.
Wei Qi slowly stood up and saluted Dong Zhuo, his movements were chic and elegant, fresh and natural, with his height of more than eight feet, coupled with his handsome and hearty voice and smile, it can be described as rich as jade and graceful.
Dong Zhuo secretly had a scarlet belly when he saw Wei Qi for the first time, even if it was the rebirth of Zou Ji Song Yu in the Warring States Period, Pan Anwei Jue of the Jin Dynasty in the later generations was here, and he was probably not too much compared to Wei Qi.
What Dong Zhuo didn't know was that this Wei Qian was Wei Jue's great-grandfather.
But he heard Wei Qi smile and said: "Since Dong Gong can go to the Wei family to summon him, he can naturally go to Yang County to summon Xu Huang." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded, and after Wei Qi sat down, he asked Du Ji in the second seat on the left, "What does Bohou think?" ”
"I think it's a good plan for my brother, and the lord can follow it." Du Ji said with a smile.
Dong Zhuo walked to the first seat on the left where Li Ru was standing, patted Li Ru's shoulder, and asked him to sit down. At the same time, he nodded at Li Ru without a trace.
Weng and his son-in-law have been together for a long time and have a tacit understanding with each other. Li Ru naturally knew that the best way to do this was for Dong Zhuo to invite him personally, but this idea could not be proposed by Dong Zhuo himself.
Otherwise, it would not be good if these people under his command had ideas, and they would not be good for Dong Zhuo and Xu Huang. didn't see Liu Bei look at the thatched house, so Guan Zhang and the others didn't treat Zhuge Liang very well.
This is the scene of Fang Cai, that is, let them come up with it themselves, as long as they have an idea, Dong Zhuo can go down the steps.
After returning to his seat and sitting down, Dong Zhuo spoke: "The two gentlemen are reasonable, and in this case, I should follow the advice of the two gentlemen." Go to Xu Huang's mansion in person to seek talent.
Dong Huang, you go and take the piece of Xuantie stone in the treasury and ask Li Tie to build a Bagua Xuanhua Mountain Axe weighing seventy-two catties overnight as a gift, and then you and I will go to Xufu to pay respects. ”
"Whoa!" Dong Huang took the order and retreated.
……
Hedong County, Yang County.
Xu Huang's family lives in Xujia Village, in the eastern suburbs of Yang County, and his family has dozens of acres of land and employs several tenants.
Xu Huang's father has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and after the crown, he supported the Xu family, who couldn't open the pot, and now the Xu family is also solid.
Xu Huang's father is usually modest, friendly and friendly in the township, and is also quite famous in this ten miles and eight towns, although he is only a year of confusion, but he is called "Old Lady Xu" by the surrounding people.
Since Xu Huang became a thief in the county, in order to facilitate his son's errand, Mrs. Xu bought a house for Xu Huang in the city. Xu Huang usually lives in a house in the county seat, but he has to go back to the village every few days to visit his parents.
"Gongming, I heard that Dong Taishou wanted to summon you as Sima of another department, so did you refuse?"
As soon as Xu Huang returned home that day, he was slapped by Mrs. Xu and said. "Although our Xu family has some money, at most it can be regarded as a big family in this Xu family village, and it is nothing in Yang County.
Think about when you were studying, you couldn't borrow the "Art of War" from the eyes of others. For my father, I look forward to you getting ahead every day, so that my Xu family descendants can read from Wen Ke and practice martial arts to be useful.
Now it's rare that Dong Taishou looks up to you and recommends you as filial piety, but you quit without saying hello to me. Do you still have me as a father in your eyes? ”
Xu Huang was helpless, and immediately knelt in front of his father's knees, and said, "I hope that my father will calm his anger for the time being, can I listen to the child's explanation?" ”
Old lady Xu snorted angrily: You say, the old man wants to see what big truth you can say. “
Seeing that his father agreed, Xu Huang immediately said: "My father doesn't know, since Dong Zhuo, the Taishou of Hedong, has been tyrannical and poisonous to the people, and the people of the twenty counties of Hedong County all hate him to the core. If the child answers his call, won't he help the abuse and let the people of the entire Hedong County dig up the ancestral grave of my Xu family? ”
Old lady Xu helped up her son who was kneeling in front of him, and sighed: "My son has this knowledge, and he is very pleased to be a father. But my son only knows one thing, but I don't know the other! ”
Xu Huang asked puzzledly, "The child doesn't know what's going on?" Please also let my father know. ”
Old Lady Xu said earnestly: "Fang is down today, although it seems to be too peaceful, but in fact, it is full of dangers!" There are still remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves, and relatives in the DPRK and foreign countries are fighting openly and secretly with eunuchs to seize power. The county guards in various places recruited troops like this Dong Taishou and took the opportunity to develop their own forces. The 400-year-old Han River is coming to an end! ”
"But what does this have to do with children?" Xu Huang is still puzzled, I don't know what his father is talking about? It's just confusing.
"Idiot! I don't know that a catastrophe is coming! Old lady Xu hated iron and said with hatred, "If there is chaos today, talents are especially important in troubled times." Since you have rejected Dong Zhuo's expedition, then he will naturally not keep you, lest you be used by others and become enemies of him in the future! ”
"Father, you mean...... Then Dong Taishou will kill the child? It's unlikely! Xu Huang was completely stunned and asked with some suspicion.
"Of course it can't be, because it's not to kill you, but to kill your whole family, you must know that cutting grass does not eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows!" A thick, majestic voice came through the door.
Xu Huang looked back and saw that the courtyard door was pushed open, and a strong man with a height of nine feet took the lead, striding across the courtyard into the house, and sat straight in a seat. Dong Huang, who had also been photographed yesterday, followed closely behind and stood on the right side of the big man. Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward to protect Old Lady Xu behind him.
"Idiot, stand down, you can't stop him if he wants to kill me." Old lady Xu was not alarmed, and commanded Xu Huang with a face like a bystander. After Xu Huang stepped aside, he stood up and saluted Dong Zhuo, and said, "Dong Taishou came to the cold house, and he was disappointed in the future, forgive the sin!" Forgiveness! Please also take a seat. After saying that, he wanted to give up the seat he had just sat in.
"Haha! The so-called strong guest does not suppress the master, Mr. Xu still sits there, Zhuo can sit here. The big man, Dong Zhuo, laughed.
After Mrs. Xu sat down, Dong Zhuo bowed to Mrs. Xu with a fist, and said sincerely: "Dong Zhuo came uninvited, and I hope Mr. Haihan." I just heard Mr. Linglang's words, Fang knew that Mr. was a great talent, I don't know if Mr. is willing to take Linglang out of the office, assist in building a great cause, Mr. father and son can also be famous in history, it is a good story. ”
Old lady Xu smiled bitterly: "Can you say that you are unwilling?" ”
"If it's before someone hears Mr. Linglang's words, it's okay." Dong Zhuo leaned forward, the smile on his face was put away with a serious expression, and he said word by word, "But now, with Mr.'s talent, he should understand." ”
Old lady Xu shook her head helplessly when she heard this, pulled Xu Huang to Dong Zhuo's approach, bowed down and kowtowed, and said, "Minister Xu Jiang Xu Baichuan and his son Xu Huang visit the lord." ”
Dong Zhuo hurriedly got up, helped the father and son up, looked up to the sky and laughed: "I have the help of Baichuan and Gongming's father and son, and the big thing will be done." ”
At present, he worships Xu Jiang as the meritorious Cao of Hedong County, and is in charge of the merit assessment of Hedong County officials. Bai Xu Huang was the Sima of the other department, and led the 3,000 sword and shield soldiers of the fourth Qingshan Battalion under his command.
He also asked his own soldiers to carry the gossip Xuanhua Mountain Axe that Li Tie had built overnight and give it to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang took the big axe, he couldn't take advantage of it, and jumped into the courtyard to dance and practice. I saw that the seventy-two-pound Xuanhua Mountain Pioneer Axe was dancing vigorously in Xu Huang's hands, and the grass and trees were broken wherever the axe passed. Xu Huang jumped up, a move to split Huashan, the big axe like a meteorite falling as if it could tear the earth apart, only to hear a loud noise, a stone lock of hundreds of catties in the courtyard exploded.
Dong Zhuo applauded the drummer on the spot, "Gongming is good at martial arts!" This gossip Xuanhua mountain opening axe weighs seventy-two pounds, and I don't want it to be as light as a feather in Gongming's hands. With such skills, it should not be under Xuanba! ”
Xu Huang immediately returned to the lobby with an axe, and thanked Dong Zhuo: "Thank you for your generous gift!" The humble position just lacks a weapon in hand, this axe is not light or heavy, the edge of the axe blade, sharpening iron like clay. It is very advantageous to use humble duties. ”
Dong Zhuo helped him up and said: "Gongming's martial arts are so noble, a certain family can sit back and relax!" ”
He also said to Xu Jiangyan: "The day before yesterday, the Son of Heaven gave a certain family ten horses from Xiliang Dawan, and a certain family commanded eight people. Yesterday, Dong Huang was sent to give a horse to Gongming, and now there is only one horse left, but it happens to be given to Baichuan, which is really God's will! ”
When Xu Jiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Thank you for your love, I am very grateful." ”
