Chapter 50: The Mountain Rain is Coming

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Feng's daily focus is to accompany Dong Bai, in order to please this little girl, Jiang Feng can be regarded as having a hard time. I like to go out to play, right, if we want to play, let's play something new, it's birds flying in the sky, have you ever seen anything else fly in the sky? Let's make a kite.

Want to hear a story? Let me tell you the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Don't like scholars? It doesn't matter, let's change the mythological story, haven't you heard of the legend of the White Snake?

An ignorant girl was captured by Jiang Feng's sugar-coated cannonballs, and now Dong Bai doesn't listen to anyone, only Lu Bu, and he pesters Lu Bu all day long. After getting along carefully, Jiang Feng also felt that Dong Bai was not bad in nature, and she was also a very kind-hearted girl, but she was spoiled by Dong Zhuo, and she lost her father at an early age, and lacked due care and discipline, so she acted a little perversely.

In addition to accompanying Dong Bai, Jiang Feng also found some time to make friends with the ministers of the court as usual. However, the situation is still not very optimistic, although those ministers who bow down to Dong Zhuo are afraid of death, but in their bones they are more arrogant than one another, looking down on Lu Bu, a soldier who was born in the army, and no one is willing to talk to Lu Bu.

This made Jiang Feng very depressed, although these ministers did not have real power, but many of them represented a big family, and the entire Sizhou was not as simple as the six major families that Jiang Feng had contacted before. There are also many new gate valves, as well as branches in other states and counties, and this force cannot be underestimated.

It was really a big loss for Jiang Feng to never be able to break into their interior and turn this force into their own use.

Especially Wang Yun, who was respectful to Lu Bu on the surface, secretly always pleaded with Lu Bu to do bad things and let Lu Bu dismantle Dong Zhuo's platform. Fortunately, Jiang Feng's brain is better than Lu Bu's, and with Chen Gong as a staff officer, he can naturally easily see through it.

As for Xun You, Jiang Feng also visited him a few times, but without exception, he was turned away.

The progress of the gentry bureaucracy was not smooth, but the progress of the army was surprisingly fast. The sharp knife force composed of Gao Shun and Dian Wei has begun to take shape, and seven hundred veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, each of them is an elite with a ten, and then a fine armor blade, arrayed out, and the momentum is comparable to the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army that Jiang Feng saw at that time.

There are more fierce generals like Dian Wei and Gao Shun as vanguards, even if it is a person like Jiang Feng who has seven in and seven out of the ten thousand armies, he can't help but feel his scalp numb when he sees such an army, and he deeply feels the prosperity of his soldiers. When such an army rushes into the battlefield, it will tear through the enemy's defense line with a boning knife, crush the enemy's offensive, and pierce the enemy's Chinese tent. As the saying goes, the soldiers are not many but fine, and they will not be brave but strategic.

Gao Shun asked Lu Bu to give him a name, and Jiang Feng waved his pen and wrote down three words: trapped in the camp.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also came with good news, the delegated soldiers have also gathered a lot of new soldiers, and they are stepping up training, and within three months, there will be thousands more people in the state army out of thin air.

Watching the Bingzhou military camp change with each passing day, the sound of knives and axes, war drums, war songs, and war cries are intertwined, forming a shocking picture.

However, while Lu Bu was intensively preparing for his own affairs, others were not idle.

In the prison of Luoyang,

The crisp sound of whips was mixed with the screams of the prisoners and the scolding of the officials. It constitutes another tragic scene.

"The official spares his life, I've already said everything, and I really don't know anything else. I'm really wronged, I'm just a merchant who sells alcohol, I'm not guilty. A prisoner, covered in blood and beaten beyond recognition, shouted in a weak voice. Blood dripped down the corners of his mouth and fell to the ground, as if it was a death knell for him.

The jailer sorted out the prisoner's confession and sent him out of the dungeon.

"Li Shilang, this is all the testimony, please take a look."

Li Ru was lying on the Hu bed at this time, closing his eyes and recuperating. Hearing the prison guard's report, he opened his eyes, slowly took a sip of tea, took the confession with a bloody handprint, looked at it, and said, "That's all?" Did you ask anything else? ”

The jailer replied, "No, according to his humble position, that's all he knows." ”

Li Ru said: "Then let's do it, there is no need to waste time on them, according to the address on the confession, immediately send someone to find it, be sure to find someone for me." ”

"Well, these prisoners ......," the jailer asked.

Li Ru said indifferently: "Useless people, die." ”

The jailer bowed and said, "I understand the lowly duty, so I will do it." ”

Li Ru put away his confession and rushed to Xiangguo's mansion, Li Ru is now living in Xiangguo's mansion as Dong Zhuo's guest, and has full authority to take over the external intelligence work.

More than half of the ministers dealt with by Dong Zhuo were provided by Li Ru, so the people in the DPRK and China also hated, feared and helpless Li Ru.

"Xiangguo, this is the information I just got, I can conclude that Lu Bu must have some small actions behind your back." Li Ru handed the confession to Dong Zhuo and said.

"Wen You, don't you always target Feng Xian for no reason. The two of you are the right-hand men of your own nature, and you must learn to live in harmony and not always oppose each other. ”

Dong Zhuo still trusts Li Ru, after all, Li Ru has helped him do so many things that offend people, and Dong Zhuo has no doubt about Li Ru's loyalty. What's more, Li Ru is a strategist, and he doesn't have any military power, so he can't make much waves at all.

But Li Ru always targeted Lu Bu, which made Dong Zhuo very unhappy. Now all the things that Dong Zhuo hears about Lu Bu are all good things, her granddaughter likes her, her cousin Dong Min also likes him, and his nephew Dong Huang has a good impression of him, and Dong Zhuo himself feels that Lu Bu is his own person.

Only this Li Ru always reminded himself in his ear that this Lu Bu had two hearts, which made Dong Zhuo very helpless.

Li Ru said: "Xiangguo, the lower officials don't dare to suspect the Duting Marquis without evidence, there is really some evidence that is too strange. Xiangguo, please see, just as we were about to spread the news of harming Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi's home received a strange rag doll. The meaning of this rag doll is unknown, and its origin is even more strange. So far, I have checked all the people who are in contact with Lu Zhi, and no one knows the origin of this rag doll. ”

"So what? It's a child's thing, and it's worth all the fuss? Dong Zhuo didn't care.

"My lord, what do you think, this Lu Zhi family has no children. What is this rag doll used for? Li Ru said.

Dong Zhuo felt that what Li Ru said made sense, but there was still a question: "Then even if this rag doll is strange, how can you prove that this rag doll was given to Lu Zhi by Feng Xian?" ”

Li Ru said: "This humble position is uncertain, but Xiangguo, look here." On the day Lu Zhi fled, Lu Bu took wine and meat to the Bingzhou military camp to reward the army, and it is said that he brought several wagons of wine and meat that day. And the people who pursued Lu Zhi also saw Lu Bu that day, and it stands to reason that Lu Zhi could not escape our pursuit, unless someone secretly helped him. ”

"You mean that Lu Bu helped Lu Zhi escape? But there is no necessary connection between the two, so you can't convict Feng Xian just because they left the city on the same day, right? Wen You, your charge is a bit excessive. ”

Dong Zhuo was already a little dissatisfied with Li Ru's groundless speculation, these troubled things were put on others, Dong Zhuo would not hesitate to let Li Ru strictly examine them, even if they arrested and interrogated people. But if the object was Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo felt a little unreasonable.

Li Ru said: "Xiangguo is not in a hurry, I still have the last evidence, this is the confession of the history of the Taifu Temple." LΓΌ Bu returned one less horse than he had borrowed. Xiangguo, this always says something, right? ”

Dong Zhuo weighed it carefully and said, "This doesn't mean anything, do you have further evidence?" ”

"This, the lowly position is still being investigated, but some things may touch the weakness of the Duting Hou, and the lowly position needs Xiangguo's permission to dare to further investigate." Li Rudao.

Dong Zhuo read those confessions carefully, and said in a deep voice: "You go and check your clues, but there is one point, don't clash with Feng Xian head-on, I will treat this matter as if I don't know, understand?" ”

Li Ru said: "The lowly position understands, and the lowly position will be done." ”

After Li Ru retreated, a little eunuch came in with a meat soup and said, "Xiangguo, this is the soup made of fresh venison that Lu Tinghou accompanied the girl to hunt today, and I specially sent it to Xiangguo to try it." ”

Dong Zhuo smelled the smell of meat and had a great appetite, and laughed: "Feng Xian really knows how to be filial to my old man, and he feels that he doesn't have enough to eat for lunch, so he will give me a taste." ”

The broth was sent to Dong Zhuo, and the intuitive meat was fragrant, very delicious, and there was a different taste than the meat soup in the palace, I don't know what special things were added. The little eunuch said: "This is still made by Lu Tinghou himself, and he is not willing to eat it, so he sent it to Xiangguo first." ”

Dong Zhuo swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, okay, this meat soup is fragrant, and it hooked up a certain gluttonous worm." Feng Xian, this child, is likable. ”

The little eunuch was happy when he saw Dong Zhuo, and he also said: "Who said it wasn't, we all saw Lu Tinghou's filial piety to Xiangguo, and in private we all said that General Lu regarded you as a father." ”

This said to Dong Zhuo's heart, Dong Zhuo said: "Oh, what did you say? You say come and hear it. ”

The little eunuch continued: "Lu Tinghou often said that his parents were mourned in his early years, and he was the only seedling in the family, and there was no one to take care of him. It wasn't until I met Xiangguo that I knew that it was good to be a child. Xiangguo is kind to his parents, and he can't wait to repay him with death. ”

These words touched Dong Zhuo's heart even more, Lu Bu lost his father at an early age, and Dong Zhuo lost his son in middle age! Lu Bu had this thought, and Dong Zhuo didn't regard him as a son, but he didn't expect the two of them to think of going together.

"Hey, it's a pity ......" the little eunuch followed thoughtlessly.

Dong Zhuo said: "What is a pity? You said. ”

The little eunuch said with an embarrassed face: "The slave doesn't dare to say it." ”

"I tell you to speak, and you speak. What is a pity? Dong Zhuo didn't let him say anything.

The little eunuch said: "Yes, it's a pity that General Lu was born in the army and was looked down upon by the ministers of the DPRK and China." What's more, it is said that he betrays his lord and seeks glory, and he is a villain who forgets his righteousness for profit, and sooner or later he will be detrimental to Xiangguo. When General Lu heard this, he always swore angrily. ”

Dong Zhuo listened, was silent, slowly drank the meat soup, snorted heavily for a while, and said, "These people are really hateful. ”
