Dong Zhuo occupied the palace of chaos in the capital, many loyal courtiers were slaughtered, and everyone was in danger under the cruel rule, for fear that a word would accidentally annoy Dong Zhuo and invite the disaster of being beheaded.

Gongsun Yi, who made great contributions to the control of Kyoto, although he was named the former general and the Marquis of Duting, Dong Zhuo did not fulfill his promise that day, Gongsun Yi not only had no military power in his hands, but the former general was also ranked below Jiuqing, let alone ranked as the third duke.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's suggestion, thinking that although Gongsun Yi had made great contributions, if he followed his rank as the third duke, he would inevitably be arrogant and unpredictable, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not rebel in the future.

More importantly, Meng Gang, a former subordinate of Gongsun Yi and the current cavalry captain, said to Dong Zhuo that Gongsun Yi had not forgotten the grudge of the battle in the wilderness in the eastern suburbs that day, so Dong Zhuo was even more cautious about Gongsun Yi.

In fact, the reason why Meng Gang spoke to Dong Zhuo was completely under the order of Gongsun Yi, so that he would assassinate Dong Zhuo in the future, and he would not implicate Meng Gang, an important eye and ear who stayed by Dong Zhuo's side, he would inevitably play a pivotal role in the future.

Dong Zhuo was jealous and decided to make Gongsun Yi a former general, which seemed to be a temptation and suppression, but Dong Zhuo in order to avoid Gongsun Yi's coldness, he would invite him to a banquet every time there was a banquet, and renovate the mansion that had been sealed by the young emperor and return it to Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi did not have the slightest displeasure, but became more and more respectful to Dong Zhuo, although Dong Zhuo was jealous, but it was Gongsun Yi's credit to be able to settle in Kyoto, I heard that Gongsun loved archery, so he gave a treasure bow, and sent several Western Regions war horses, all of which were quietly sent out of the city by Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi has strange powers, shoots arrows at home every day, but there are a lot of broken longbows, and he can't put down the bow, but he just practices it himself, and his archery has not improved much, and he can't even shoot the forbidden objects, let alone move the target.

On this day, Gongsun Yi entertained guests in the mansion, and after half a ring, several generals in civilian clothes came to the door, and only one of them was wearing armor, and his eyes were cold and did not look close.

"Don't blame Lord Gongsun, Gao Zhongda is like this." For the first time, Zhang Liao saw Gongsun Yi's eyes puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

Although Gongsun Yi was only a general of the defeated army, he was deeply valued by Dong Zhuo, and the state army came to work, and he was inevitably squeezed out by the old department of the Xiliang army.

In the state army, only Gao Shun is rigorous and rigid, and it is not difficult to guess the identity, Gongsun Yi does not care about Gao Shun's cold attitude, but cares more about Gao Shun's words.

History contains Gao Shun without words, now it seems that it is not wordless, but with the emperor the same name, the Three Kingdoms Chronicles into a book in the Jin, to avoid the name of the Sima family Jin Xuan Emperor, so it is very likely not to improve the word Shun.

Gongsun Yi chuckled and said: "The generals can come to the cold house, it is really brilliant, please inside." ”

"Lord Gongsun has invited many banquets, I have been bothered for a long time, and I am really scared, Lord Gongsun invites." The generals hurriedly bowed and saluted, and they had a lot of respect for Gongsun Yi.

In fact, this is not the first time that Gongsun Yi has invited Zhang Liao and other former troops of the state army, although the banquet is only about the past and the present, not about political affairs, but in the eyes of people with a heart, it is a private party for personal gain.

Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others are all independent generals, if they are valued by Dong Zhuo, once they grasp the real power, it will be difficult for the Kwantung Army with Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance to defeat the Xiliang Army led by fierce generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in the future.

If it is considered to be Gongsun Yi's party and the assassination of Dong Zhuo is exposed, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others will never be reused again, and even have to worry about their lives.

Gongsun Yi seems to be an understatement of the banquet, but it is already for the future, in fact, in recent days, Gongsun Yi has found an opportunity to assassinate Dong Zhuo, every hot afternoon, Dong Zhuo will retreat left and right, and rest in the palace room near the lake.

If he seized the opportunity, took the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo, and then threw his body into the lake, these times would be enough time for Gongsun Yi to leave safely, I am afraid that by the time Lu Bu and the others reacted, Gongsun Yi would have escaped from Luodu.

At the banquet, the bells and drums continued to play, and all the generals raised their glasses and drank freely, only Gao Shun was the last seat, not only did not drink a drop of wine, but also did not eat the rich food on the table.

Gongsun Yi casually put down the wine glass and signaled to the guards at the door, and soon several boxes of gold and silver were carried up, and suddenly the eyes of the generals lit up.

Gongsun Yi took in everyone's expressions, got up and chuckled: "You have come from afar, my Gongsun Yi should naturally do the friendship of the landlord, all the gentlemen have one box, don't shirk." ”

"How does this work!" Zhang Liao and the others hurriedly got up and resigned, not because they were not moved by these gold and silver, but once they accepted it, the original rumors outside would inevitably be true, wouldn't it really become Gongsun Yi's party, and I am afraid it would be difficult to be promoted to a knighthood under Dong Zhuo.

"Presumably, the generals are afraid of the rumors outside, but if you don't accept them, those rumors outside can stop? Or is it that the generals look down on this defeated general, if so, it is another matter. Gongsun Yi's words were slightly dull, and he seemed to be a little angry.

Gongsun Yi's meaning is very clear, since it is said that everyone is a party, then unite as a party, although the old department of the Xiliang Army is deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, but if you want to make contributions, you must form a force that Dong Zhuo attaches enough importance to, how can Zhang Liao and others not know this.

Groaning slightly, Zhang Liao and the others could only clasp their fists and say: "Thank you Lord Gongsun for the gift, if he sends us in the future, we will definitely help." This is a very beautiful saying, but it is just to help each other, not to accompany each other, and the difference between one word is very different.

"Please take back this gold and silver." On the other hand, Gao Shun hugged his fists and said with words like gold.

Gongsun Yi knew that Shun was innocent and dignified, did not drink, and was not left behind, but today he saw that this was the case, strict and strict self-discipline, and naturally there were no weak soldiers under his subordinates.

Gongsun Yi finally understood what it was to trap the camp and conquer everything, but it was a pity that neither Dong Zhuo nor Lu Bu could let Gao Shun play the greatest role, and was later beheaded by Cao Cao, which has to be said to be a great pity.

In the middle of the night, everyone dispersed, and Gongsun Yi sent people to send gold and silver to the mansion of Zhang Liao and others, but Gongsun Yi did not care whether Gao Shun received it or not.

As long as others believe that the general of the Bingzhou Army and his Gongsun Yi are one party, although Zhang Liao and others are ashamed, it is much better than encountering fierce generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in the Kwantung Army in the future.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Yi bathed and changed his clothes, and walked towards the palace in a military uniform.

"Stop!"

The guards riding the horses were stunned for a moment, and suddenly forcibly restrangled the war horse.

Before the horse could hear steadily, Gongsun Yi eagerly jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the carriage in the distance, Gongsun Yi, who was going to go to the palace, happened to pass by Cai Yong's mansion, and saw Cai Yan, who was dressed in plain clothes, slowly got off the carriage with the support of the personal maid.

Although I broke up with Cai Yan at the beginning, but I haven't seen him for a year, Cai Yan, who is obviously thinner, is more elegant and comfortable, and the sorrow hidden in his eyes unconsciously affects Gongsun Yi's heart.

"Lord Gongsun." Cai Yan bowed slightly, and didn't seem to say much.

"Please mourn." Gongsun Yi understood that although Cai Yan and Wei Zhongdao raised their eyebrows, the good times did not last long, Wei Zhongdao vomited blood and died, the Wei family disliked Cai Yanke's death of her husband, and Cai Yan had no heirs, so he was angry and turned against his family, and the humiliation suffered by the Wei family could be seen from the sadness hidden in his eyes.

"How did you find out? Why, Gongsun came to see my jokes! Cai Yan's words were sad, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at Gongsun Yi's wonderful eyes with tears flashing.

"Miss Cai Yan misunderstood, there is no abrupt intention in the next, there are ten unsatisfactory in the world, but there is no more than a school concubine in the next few border generals, and the so-called guest living in the capital is just for revenge, please take care of Miss Cai Yan, today's farewell, I am afraid there will be no goodbye."

Gongsun Yi was a little incoherent, but looking at the miserable Cai Yan didn't know what to say for a while, bowed, turned around and left quickly, Cai Yan looked at the back of the distance, and suffered from gains and losses for a while, I don't know why, this disciple who was extremely disgusted at the beginning, didn't see each other again for a year, and there was no sense of disgust.

****

Gongsun Yi sat in the carriage and was silent, casually touching the sharp dagger on his chest, only hoping that everything would go well, that he could assassinate Dong Zhuo, and that he could avenge the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Northern Army who died in vain.

The carriage arrived quickly, Gongsun Yi took a deep breath, and walked all the way into the palace, all the soldiers of the Northwest Army stood around and saluted on the left and right, Gongsun Yi was deeply valued by Dong Zhuo, naturally no one stopped him, and naturally no one would think that Gongsun Yi had a blade on his body.

Gongsun Yi came all the way to the depths of the palace, and Lu Bu stood with a sword in his hand, guarding the only way to Dong Zhuo's palace room to rest.

Seeing Gongsun Yi coming, Lu Bu chuckled and said, "Lord Gongsun is not at home to entertain guests, so what is there to do here." ”

Gongsun Yi's heart moved, presumably Lu Bu had heard the rumors outside, but Gongsun Yi knew what Lu Bu wanted, so he bowed and stepped forward.

Looking left and right, no one else whispered: "Xizuo sent a secret letter, saying that the soldiers of Tian Yu in Suozao County were mobilized, the grain and grass were ready, and the siege equipment began to be transported, and it must be reported to Dong Gong immediately." ”

"I don't dare to disturb Dong Gong's rest, I want to go to you!"

Gongsun Yi chuckled and said, "Tonight, three boxes of jewels will be delivered to the house." ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "If that's the case, Bu Wei is ashamed." ”

Between the words, he was obviously much more polite to Gongsun Yi, no wonder Lu Bu was displeased, even Wei Xu and others who went to Gongsun Mansion had a box of gold and silver in their hands, only he Lu Bu did not have it, how could he have a good face for Gongsun Yi, and now seeing Gongsun Yi so upright, he naturally became kind and pleasant.

"Why don't you report to Lord Buti Gongsun?"

Gongsun Yi was shocked and hurriedly said: "If Dong Gong sleeps peacefully, I can just wait quietly beside me, but this matter is very important, and you must not let others come, so as not to leak the military aircraft." ”

"Lord Gongsun, don't worry, with me Lu Bu here, no one can walk through this corridor!"

Gongsun Yi hugged his fists and saluted, walked quickly through the corridor towards Dong Zhuo's resting room, and after half of the salary, Lu Bu, who thought that something was wrong, went inside, intending to find out.

Gongsun Yi came all the way to the bedroom, because Dong Zhuo was afraid of being disturbed, except for Lu Bu, who was in the middle of the palace, there was no guard in the palace.

Seeing Dong Zhuo lying on the couch sleeping soundly, Gongsun Yi was overjoyed, with the distance between him and Lu Bu, even if he was dying, he might not be able to hear it clearly.

Gongsun Yi carefully closed the doors and windows, took out the dagger he was carrying from his chest in excitement, and stabbed Dong Zhuo at the back of the neck.
