Chapter 165: Refusing to Brutalize Cao Cao to Raise Troops

The woman packed up her things, but it was not ordinary slow, Liu Zhang ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, surround the Dong Mansion, and no one could escape. In the early morning of the next day, a scout suddenly came to report that Dong Zhuo's soldiers came to the city and asked the champion Hou to go out to answer. Liu Zhang ordered someone to escort Dong Zhuo's family Xiaoqiang into the carriage, took the men and horses to the outside of the city, and set up a formation, leaving only 500 people to guard Dong Zhuo's family.

The person who came was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, who got the report that Linzhao was captured, so he came with troops overnight. When he came to the city, Niu Fu saw Liu Zhang's banner and immediately lost his soul. Dong Zhuo often praised Liu Zhang's young hero in front of everyone under his command, and with Zhang Fei's defeat of Huaxiong, everyone under Dong Zhuo's command regarded Liu Zhang as a great enemy.

"Champion Hou, the last general is polite!" The two armies faced each other, and Niu Fu rode forward and saluted Liu Zhang on the horse.

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Zhong Ying's son-in-law really knows how to be polite!" I invited Mrs. Dong to Yizhou as a guest, so don't stop you! ”

"Champion Hou, I can't obey my fate!" Niu Fu was sweating profusely and said, "If you take all the family members of Prime Minister Dong Cheng away, how can I explain to Prime Minister Dong Cheng." What's more, there is also the wife of the last general! ”

"It's your business how to explain it!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Dong Zhuo to be respectful to Empress Dowager He and the others, otherwise Ben Hou doesn't mind that there are a few more military records in the barracks!" Do you know that there are 20,000 Hun cavalry under Ben Hou's command! The attitude of the Huns towards women, you must know! ”

"What?!" Niu Fu was shocked: "In this case, please forgive the last general for being rude!" ”

"Then you can try!" Liu Zhang sneered: "It's dead, don't blame Ben Hou!" ”

Niu Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask the champion Hou for advice!" ”

After speaking, Niu Fu reflexively returned to the battle, so that he would not fight with Liu Zhang. Back then, Zhang Fei once whipped Hua Xiong off his horse with a spear in front of him. Now that he sees the snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand, if he dares to fight, he will have a ghost. What's more, Niu Fu is very smart, he brought an army of 50,000, why bother fighting with Liu Zhang? However, even if he doesn't fight, Liu Zhang is not something that Niu Fu can deal with.

"Chisel!" Zhang Fei raised the snake spear, and 20,000 well-trained Hun soldiers immediately formed a conical formation and rushed towards the Niu auxiliary army.

"What?" Niu Fu was shocked, the Huns were notoriously unruly, when would they be able to form a formation. However, this is not to blame Niu Fu, the Han Dynasty has been around for four hundred years, although he often wins against the Huns, but he rarely catches the Huns. Even if the prince is caught, there is no big order to work. Coupled with Liu Zhang's policy of killing if he doesn't accept it, these 20,000 Huns are not as well-behaved as grandsons?

"Come with me!" saw Zhang Fei leading his troops through the Niu Fu army, and then went back. Liu Zhang raised the overlord gun in his hand and took Dian Wei to Niu Fu to kill.

"Quick... Evacuate! Seeing the 50,000 army, he couldn't stop Liu Zhang's two rounds of charge, so Niu Fu turned around and ran. At that speed, it is estimated that even Liu Bei and Liu Bang, who are known as the king of escape, are beyond the reach of the dust.

"Alas!" Seeing Niu Fu's defeat, Old Madam Dong sighed. I don't know if she lamented that Liu Zhang was too powerful, or that Niu Fu was too incompetent. It's just that beside Mrs. Dong, the two ladies holding the child looked at Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, and the little stars in their eyes popped up. Xiliang people advocate bravery, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei are too brave!

After a few days, Luoyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Smack!" Dong Zhuo has been the prime minister for a few months, but his ability is not long, and his temper is not small. After reading Liu Zhang's letter, he slapped the letter on the table and said, "Liu Jiyu is too deceitful!" The prime minister will do it today, the Empress Dowager He, Concubine Tang, and Princess Wannian, see what he can do! ”

"Father-in-law, no!" Li Ru frowned and said: "Liu Zhang will not anger his father-in-law for no reason, there must be something greasy in it!" ”

"Greasy? Doesn't Liu Jiyu just look down on me? Dong Zhuo said angrily: "He is a royal family, I am just a good son of the six counties, his official position was higher than mine in the past, and now although I am the prime minister, but in his eyes, I am still the same Dong Zhuo, he said a word, I still have to listen!" ”

"Uh..." Li Ru was a little surprised, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be so inferior. But if Dong Zhuo really moved He Lingsi and others, I am afraid that Liu Zhang would raise troops into Beijing. For the sake of a few women, it is indeed not cost-effective to offend a big enemy like Liu Zhang.

"Report!" Li Ru was about to persuade again, but a small colonel rushed into the council hall and said, "Prime Minister, General Niu Fu is here!" ”

"Who?" Dong Zhuo and Li Ru glanced at each other, inexplicably surprised. You know, Niu Fu is the general left by Dong Zhuo to guard Liangzhou, is Liangzhou lost? Dong Zhuo shouted, "Let him come in!" ”

"Father-in-law! The son-in-law is useless! Niu Fu rushed into the council chamber and fell to his knees and cried.

"Liangzhou is lost?" Dong Zhuo looked annoyed, and he couldn't wait to slaughter Niu Fu.

"Nope!" Niu Fu was murdered by Dong Zhuo, and immediately didn't dare to cry, so he spit out two words.

Hearing that Liangzhou was not lost, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ru asked very suspiciously: "Liangzhou is not lost, what are you doing here?" ”

"This... I... I'm useless... Yes! Niu Fu began to cry again, not like a general. Dong Zhuo patted his forehead, I really don't know how he thought of marrying his daughter to such a good person back then.

"What the hell is going on?" Dong Zhuo was a little impatient, and kicked Niu Fu's face, the woman was crying and crying enough, and a big man hugged the leg of another big man and cried bitterly, not to mention Li Ru, even Dong Zhuo couldn't stand it. A huge footprint appeared on Niu Fu's face, and if you look at it, it is at least forty-four yards. However, Niu Fu didn't dare to cry anymore.

"Father-in-law, a few days ago, the champion Hou Liu Zhang led the troops to raid Linzhao, the old lady and all the sons and young ladies, all..."

"Father-in-law!" Li Ru and Niu Fu hurriedly supported Dong Zhuo.

"You mean, my whole family was arrested by Liu Zhang?" Dong Zhuo calmed down the depression in his chest and asked, "Did the champion Hou say anything?" ”

"He said..."Niu Fu was very hesitant, not knowing whether to repeat Liu Zhang's words.

"It's come to this, what else can't be said!" Li Ru was very helpless when he saw this, he was also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and this Niu Fu was too bad.

Niu Fuyi gritted his teeth and said, "Champion Hou said!" I want my father-in-law to be respectful to the Empress Dowager He and the others, if the father-in-law does anything to the Empress Dowager He and the others, he will take revenge on the father-in-law's family tenfold for everything that the father-in-law did! He doesn't mind having more in the army..."

Seeing Dong Zhuo's hideous expression, Niu Fu didn't say those two words, but Dong Zhuo and Li Ru already understood. Dong Zhuo waved his hand weakly, and Li Ru asked, "Father-in-law, then Empress Dowager He..."

"Forget it!" Dong Zhuo said weakly: "Champion Hou already knows that we will not release people, so he led troops to kidnap people while writing letters. He is a person who has always done what he says, if I dare to move the Empress Dowager He and the others for half a point, he will definitely make me regret it! Ru'er, pass the order, no one must be rude to the four Empress Dowager He, otherwise the clan will be wiped out! ”

"Yes!" Li Ru bowed and retreated.

"Get out!" Dong Zhuo sighed, opened his eyes and saw that Niu Fu was still standing there, he said angrily: "You waste, get back to Liangzhou for me!" If anything goes wrong, don't come to see me! Just cut off your head! ”

"Yes!" Niu Fu was amnesty, hugged his head and jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to Liangzhou overnight.

Looking at Niu Fu's back as he fled in a hurry, Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's still the champion Hou who is a step ahead, I might as well be better!" ”

Yizhou, Chengdu Prefecture. Liu Zhang arrested none of Dong Zhuo's family members and arrested them. After careful statistics, Liu Zhang has a headache! There are thirty or forty female dependents in the Dong Mansion, and there are only two male surnames, who are not yet ten years old, one is the son of Li Ru and the other is the son of Dong Zhuo.

Looking at a warbler Yanyan, Liu Zhang, in order to avoid trouble, found a big mansion to accommodate these women. Fortunately, these ladies from big families don't go out much. Now that he is under house arrest by Liu Zhang, he doesn't feel depressed. It's just that Dong Zhuo's two daughters, especially Niu Fu's wife, always pestered Dian Wei.

After the kidnapping of Dong Zhuo's family, Liu Zhang did not make any moves. Guo Jia was very puzzled by Liu Zhang's behavior. If someone else is replaced, he will already ask for a replacement, but Liu Zhang has no intention of negotiating with Dong Zhuo. Could it be that Liu Zhang didn't kidnap Dong Zhuo's family for the sake of changing talents? In fact, Liu Zhang was waiting, waiting for Cao Ying to send an edict to discuss Dong. Otherwise, if he led troops to surround Luoyang alone, others would have an excuse to slander him. As for not bringing troops, Liu Zhang never thought about it, he is not stupid!

Since Liu Zhang arrested all Dong Zhuo's family, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards Empress Dowager He and others has taken a 180-degree turn. Although Dong Zhuo was still thinking about Empress Dowager He, Liu Zhang was like a sharp blade hanging on his head. You must know that Dong Zhuo is almost sixty years old. Even if he can still give birth to a son, he doesn't have time to teach, and the son that Dong Zhuo has made with more than ten years of hard work is holding it in Liu Zhang's hands.

Bad mood, plus hard to get rid of the horn. Some unsightly ministers, like Wu Fu and Cao Ying, actually assassinated Dong Zhuo, this series of behaviors made Dong Zhuo even more brutal, and even Wang Meiren was tortured to death. However, it was precisely because of Dong Zhuo's brutality that the ministers were even more dissatisfied.

The assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, Cao Ying fled back to Qian County, his father Cao Song scattered all his family wealth, and with the funding of his friend Wei Zi, Cao Ying recruited talents and gathered village warriors. And Cao Ying's reputation for assassinating Dong Zhuo has also gathered many strong men for him. So, Cao Ying first issued an edict, galloped to report to various roads, and then recruited volunteers, erected a white flag for recruitment, and wrote the word "loyalty" on it. In a few days, the recruits gathered like rain.

In order to support Cao Ying, the Cao family and the Xiahou family contributed people, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan brothers brought 4,000 elite soldiers to help, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers also led 1,000 troops to come. There are more Yangping patriots, surnamed Le, named Jin, and the word Wenqian. Shanyang Julu people, surnamed Li, name dictionary, word Mancheng, came to Cao Ying. For a time, Cao Ying was famous!
