Chapter 121 seized the hegemony of Dong Zhuo, the government of the dynasty, and avenged his father, Cao Cao, and raised troops

The jade seal is useless, but it is therefore a treasure to use swords;

Wentai beheaded the pawns and provoked the beginning, and the princes comforted everything;

Yuan Shao was willing to let it go lightly, and faked the book Liu Biao to ambush the sword soldiers;

Jiangdong fought a war with Sun and Liu, and so far Jiangnan was divided into two families.

It is said that Sun Jian learned that Liu Biao's subordinate Kuai Yue had come to snatch the jade seal, and he was furious, so that Huang Gai stepped forward to capture Kuai Yue.

Seeing that Sun Jian's troops were about to rush out, Jingzhou's fierce general Cai Mao ushered in with a sword.

Huang Gai whipped accordingly and fought with him.

After the battle reached dozens of times, Cai Mao's strength was weak and he was taken advantage of by Huang Gai.

Huang Gai hit Cai Mao's heart guard with a whip. Cai Mao was in pain, and fled. Seeing that Cai Mao was invincible, Kuai Yue hurriedly led his troops to retreat with Cai Mao.

Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to kill the mountain pass.

The army had just entered the mountain pass, but they heard the war drums roaring behind the mountain, and the shouts of killing were deafening!

Sun Jian hurriedly tightened his horse and looked up, but saw that Liu Bei had personally led the army and blocked his way.

As the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Sun Jian hurriedly smiled at each other and gave a salute on the horse: "Why does Brother Jingsheng believe Yuan Shao's words and force Lin County?" ”

Seeing him like this, Liu Bei treated him coldly: "Yuan Benchu passed on the legend that you hid the jade seal of the country, and Wentai was in a hurry all the way, why should he hide?" Will you turn against you? ”

Sun Jian still looked like he was beaten to death and didn't admit it, and shouted: "If I have this thing, I will die under the sword and arrow!" ”

However, Liu Biao was unmoved, and said: "If you want me to listen to the letter, you will follow the army's luggage and let me search it." ”

What the? You're going to search my outfits?

It's really giving you face!

Besides, the jade seal is in your bag, how can you check it?

As the saying goes, if you don't turn your face at this time, when will you wait?

Sun Jian's face changed, and he shouted sharply: "What strength do you have, dare to underestimate me!" After finishing speaking, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai marched into the army to attack Liu Biao.

Liu Biao had already prepared and turned his horse back.

Seeing him retreating, Sun Jian chased after him, but saw the ambush behind the mountain and surrounded him.

Knowing that he had been deceived, he hurriedly turned his horse back and retreated, but saw Cai Mao and Kuai Yue intercepting him from behind.

Seeing the plan, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao hurriedly protected Sun Jian and killed Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue sent the sergeant to attack him with bows and arrows.

However, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were fast, leading the cavalry to rush into the Jingzhou army, fighting a bloody way and breaking through.

Huang Gai held a double whip and a double knife to protect Zu Mao to the death against Sun Jian, followed by him, broke out of the encirclement, and fled back to Changsha by detour.

In such a battle, Sun Jian lost most of his soldiers and horses, and the remnants of his troops who returned to Changsha were less than 10,000.

The seeds of hatred were planted in Sun Jian's heart......

The princes of the world saw that Yuan Shao had seized Jizhou and fought with Gongsun Zhan, but they did not see any expression from the imperial court, and they all provoked wars for their own territory. Just as Cao Cao killed Liu Dai in one fell swoop, and replaced him, Dong Zhuo actually acquiesced, so the disputes in the world began, and the princes' chaotic war began at this time.

And Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, seemed to be indifferent to all this, but intensified his exploitation of the people and the oppression of hundreds of officials.

It is said that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were in a war, and when they were in a scorching situation, Li Ru proposed to him many times to send envoys to comfort the two princes, and each made a reward to buy the two.

However, Dong Zhuo was annoyed by the two of them for their crimes in the past, and he wanted to raise troops to recruit them.

When he finally figured it out, he learned that Liu Bei had taken the lead, but he was indifferent.

Since returning to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo according to the princes outside the pass, so that the four Xiao under his command will Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji four people each guard the border pass, the land in the pass is under his jurisdiction, and there is Lu Bu Xiangzuo beside him, so he is extremely arrogant, self-proclaimed "Shang Father", in and out of the honor guard of the son of heaven; He also canonized his younger brother Dong Huang as the general of the left and the marquis of E, and canonized his nephew Dong Huang as the servant, and led the forbidden army in the palace. The Dong clan, regardless of the elder or younger, are all feudal marquises.

Seeing his arrogance, the officials did not dare to speak.

He also made Li Ru fight for 250,000 people, and built a dock 250 miles away from Chang'an City.

The city wall of Hewu is extremely tall, exactly the same as Chang'an City, and even the thickness is generally the same. The palace hall was built in the middle, and a granary was built in the back, and the huge warehouse could store grain for more than 20 years.

In order to satisfy his yinyu, he sent Niu Fu to compete among the people for eight hundred young beauties and raise them in Yiwu.

The gold, silver, and jewelry, silk and satin looted from the people are piled up in it, and there are countless of them. All the people of the Dong family live in it.

To build this dock, Dong Zhuo did not stay permanently, but came back once every ten days and half a month.

Every time he returned to Yiwu, the ministers of the court waited at the palace gate, and sent Dong Zhuo outside the horizontal gate.

Dong Zhuo often asked the sergeants to set up tents on the side of the road and drink with the ministers.

Dong Zhuo enjoyed the submissive appearance of the hundred officials in front of him, so he would not let go of any opportunity to warn them.

One day, Dong Zhuo returned to Yiwu, and all the officials came to see him off.

As usual, Dong Zhuo stayed with hundreds of officials to drink.

At this time, Zhang Ji Xinsheng, the Taishou of the Northland, took hundreds of prisoners and sent soldiers to escort him.

Dong Zhuo learned that he summoned people to the front of the throne and ordered the soldiers to torture and kill them for fun, or cut off their hands and feet, or gouge out their eyes, or cut out their tongues and noses.

For a while, the crying and wailing continued, and all the officials trembled, only Dong Zhuo naturally talked and laughed freely.

What happened next was even more chilling and frightening.

He even made the soldiers throw them into a cauldron and boil them in boiling water!

The cruelty of the means, the scene is like the hell of Shura.

All the officials regarded it as a demon.

Sikong Zhang Wen saw that he had done a lot of evil, and he had justice in his heart to eliminate traitors, so he sent people to Nanyang with letters, intending to connect with Yuan Shu in order to seek Dong Zhuo.

However, the person who sent the letter did not send his letter to Yuan Shu, but handed it over to Lu Bu, intending to use it to advance.

The next day, Dong Zhuo was the secretary of state of affairs at the provincial Taiwan Congress.

Hundreds of officials sat on either side.

After a few rounds of drinking, Lu Bu stepped in, went straight to the front, and whispered a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear.

saw Dong Zhuo laughing repeatedly: "I see." ”

Then show it with the color of your eyes.

Lu Bu understood, so he entered the table and walked into Zhang Wen.

saw him bend down and pick Zhang Wen up.

"Why did Wen Hou capture me? Prime Minister, save me?! Zhang Wen saw Lu Bu carrying himself without saying anything, and hurriedly shouted.

Dong Zhuo smiled and did not speak.

Lu Bu rebuked loudly: "Quack! Then as if carrying a chicken, Zhang Wen was carried out.

Baiguan was stunned, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

A short time later, an attendant walked in with a tray covered in red cloth in his hand.

Lu Bu followed.

Standing still in the hall, and after Dong Zhuo nodded, Lu Bu ripped off the red cloth.

When Baiguan saw it, he was immediately frightened and sat down on the seat.

It turned out that in the tray was Zhang Wen's head.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo laughed: "Haha! Princes, do not panic. Zhang Wen married Yuan Shu, intending to plot to kill me, because he sent a book to Nanyang. Fortunately, the person who wrote the letter sent the letter to my son. Kill it now, and there is no reason to wait with the public, so there is no need to panic. ”

The hundred officials were scared in their hearts, but they had to be resigned, and they drank the wine in their cups one after another to suppress the horror. After drinking, they each returned to the house, but they did not dare to talk nonsense.

They are living in dire straits, and some of them are proud.

However, it was said that Cao Cao had won Yanzhou and shocked the Central Plains, so he remembered his father who had taken refuge in Langya, so he sent Shanyang Taishou Yingshao to Langya to meet his family.

Either say that the sky has a disaster, and people are difficult to be self-conscious!

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian knew that he was old and weak, and he planned to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei twice in a row, so that he could protect his two ambitious sons.

However, Liu was so burdened by his reputation that he even pushed it back.

At this time, he heard that Cao Cao had sent someone to welcome his father Cao Song to Yanzhou, and he suddenly had an idea.

Since Liu Bei is unwilling to accept Xuzhou, then I can have a good relationship with Cao Cao!

Now that Cao Cao's momentum is flourishing, I must take care of this link so as to find a way out for those two unsuccessful rebels!

He's got a good calculation!

Sure enough, Cao Song's convoy passed through Xuzhou.

Tao Qian personally led Xuzhou officials, greeted each other, and warmly entertained Cao Song.

After a short rest in Xuzhou, Cao Song said goodbye to Tao Qian.

Tao Qian then sent Zhang Min, the infantry captain, to lead 500 troops to escort Cao Song's convoy along the way.

It's not a good thing!

He is a Yellow Turban general, forgetting righteousness when he sees profit, and he thinks differently.

Let's say that on this day, they came to Rencheng, and it was raining heavily, so they had to find a mountain temple to hide from the rain.

Cao Cao's uncle, Cao De, told Zhang Min to take the sergeant to get the vehicle in place, so as not to get wet in the rain.

But they didn't want to, this actually led to their death.

Zhang Min took the sergeant to the chariot, and found that the 100 carts were loaded with silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry.

On the one hand, he was a sergeant, and on the other hand, he convened the leaders under his command to discuss: "You and I are originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party, and we have reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian, which is not beneficial." Now the Cao family has countless heavy vehicles, and it is not difficult for you to get rich and noble, but tonight on the third watch, everyone cut in, killed Cao Song's family, took the property, and went to the mountains to fall into the grass. What is the plan? ”

Those leaders were also covered by the wealth in front of them, and they were eager to try.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhang Min immediately rushed into the ancestral hall with them and killed anyone he saw.

Cao Song, Cao De and the Cao family were not spared, and were killed by the rebels, and only Ying Shao escaped.

Because he knew that Cao Cao was ruthless, Ying Shao saw that he had lost the task, so he went straight to Yuan Shao.

Zhang Min fought for a while, and when he saw that he had killed everyone, he and his subordinates escorted the car and fled into the mountains.

Later generations have a poem that says: "Cao Cao was praised by the traitorous world, and once killed the entire Lu family." Nowadays, every household kills people, and the cycle of heaven is not bad. ”

A few days later, Cao Cao learned the news and fell to the ground crying.

He hurriedly rescued him.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "Tao Qian connived at the soldiers to kill my father, this revenge is not shared!" I should do my best to sweep Xuzhou now, Fang Xue and I hate! ”

After finishing his words, he left Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to lead 30,000 troops to guard Juancheng, Fanxian, and Dong'e counties, and led the rest of the generals to kill Xuzhou, so that Xiahou Dun, Yu Ban, and Dian Wei were the vanguard.

Cao Cao issued a military order: to get the city, the people in the city, slaughter and poke, to snow the father's revenge.

Jiujiang Taishou Bian Rang had a deep friendship with Tao Qian, and when he learned that Xuzhou was in trouble, he rescued with all his soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao was furious and ordered Xiahou Dun to intercept him halfway.
