Chapter 38: The Unpredictable Heart (Part 2)

Gongsun Yi was defeated in the wilderness on the outskirts of Luodu, and the news of the loss of nearly 10,000 troops spread quickly.

Frightened, despite the opposition of the courtiers, he wanted to behead Gongsun Yi to set an example, and planned to remove his father, Gongsun Zhan, who was on the border.

Under the persuasion of the courtiers, the young emperor finally remembered that Gongsun Yi had made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, so he ordered the dismissal of the official and the reduction of the knight, demoted to the rank of concubine, and crowned Ding Yuan, who commanded more than 10,000 state troops, as the commander of the Jinwu Gongwei Jingshi.

The holy decree was immediately summoned, and the world was in an uproar for a while, although many courtiers were afraid of the appearance of a second He Jin, and there were not a few people who hated Gongsun Yi, but everyone had a consensus that Yang Yi was not He Jin, let alone Dong Zhuo, at least not now.

Gongsun Yi led the army to recruit foreign soldiers, even if it was a fiasco, it was to defend the forbidden court, the young emperor wanted to appease Dong Zhuo as much as possible, and he couldn't live in panic, how could he have the prestige of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so it was really chilling.

The young emperor ordered Gongsun Yi to be dismissed from the official position, and many courtiers began to hesitate whether to belong to Dong Zhuo's side, at this time Dong Zhuo's army was strong, and nearly completely annihilated the nearly 10,000 northern army led by Gongsun Yi, which was famous for a while.

He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, supported his troops to protect himself, and was unwilling to obey the orders of Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, and there was a question mark over whether the newly appointed Zhi Jinwu could resist Dong Zhuo's troops.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before Dong Zhuo enters the Beijing Division, who doesn't want to leave a way back, do they still have to be loyal to the Han Dynasty that has been decayed and almost collapsed? Don't be funny, everyone's busy.

***

On the same day, Dong Zhuo invited the ministers, and the ministers were afraid of the strength of foreign soldiers, so they were invited to come, and many of them took this opportunity to make friends with Dong Zhuo.

As Yang Yi guessed, at the banquet, when Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the young emperor and set up Chen Liuwang as the emperor, he was immediately strongly criticized, and Lu Zhi got up and said that the young emperor had no fault since he ascended the throne, and he should not be lightly wasted, sarcastically Dong Zhuo was just a foreign minister, with a vain heart of usurpation, and no ambition of Huo Guang.

Ding Yuan even lifted the table and scolded Dong Thief, the two sides were tense, and almost blood was splashed five steps, but fortunately, Li Ru stepped forward to make a joke and not talk about state affairs on the banquet, and a group of courtiers persuaded one after another, and the two sides took a step back, but they had already formed a mortal enemy, and there was no room for relaxation.

was expected by Yang Yi, Dong Zhuo was very jealous and polite at the same time, but he did not fully trust it, but Yang Yi lived in the Xiliang Army very calmly, and lived very comfortably every day.

It wasn't until the emperor ordered Gongsun Yi to be dismissed and cut down, and Tian Yu replied to the letter, stating that he had broken off with Gongsun Yien and planned to support the army to stand on his own and occupy one side, that Dong Zhuo believed that Gongsun Yi was sincere and allowed him to leave the barracks.

Tian Yu commanded the troops stationed in Suozao County for several months, this Suozao County is not new, since the fifth year of the reign of King Qin, with many thorns in the territory, placed Suzao County, the governance is located in the southwest of Yanjin, Henan Province, the geographical location is very important, it is a place where soldiers must fight.

Especially in the future, when the princes will meet and the two armies of Kanto and Kansai will face off, the strategic significance of Suozao County will be more prominent.

In the city, with the arrival of Tian Yu's army, the original Jianshuo Xiyuan Army Headquarters of 4,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Sima Xiaoji, all belonged to the military families of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and after a large amount of gold and silver was delivered, they made every effort to prepare the soldiers and horses.

Although the army is not expensive, but soon the Xiaocai battalion still has nearly 10,000 people, dominating one side, everyone is afraid to approach, everyone knows that within a radius of hundreds of miles in Suozao County, it is Lord Tian who has the final say.

The county magistrate of Suozao County ran to Tian Yu's military camp again and again, each time he whispered, and carefully sent the gold and silver that had been looted for many years, Tian Yu only mentioned it slightly, and the county magistrate happily handed over the power of the city defense army in the hands of the county lieutenant.

The city defense of Suozao County is completely under Tian Yu's control, but then again, there are more than 10,000 troops stationed here, and no one will think of coming to die.

It is worth mentioning that the economy of Suozao County has also developed extremely rapidly, many merchants have formed caravans to develop trade, and there are even many sturdy horses smuggled from Guanxi Qianghu.

In fact, the economy of Suozao County is not entirely the credit of Tian Yu, although Tian Yu is so handsome, but he is not good at trade, at the beginning of dealing with those profiteers lost a lot of gold and silver, and later thanks to a wise man came forward to help, so that the trade of Suozao County developed impressively.

One day, in the military tent of the Xiao cavalry battalion, Tian Yu, who had a heavy face, walked back and forth, and earlier the Xiliang cavalry was ordered to ride a horse and send a letter written by Gongsun Yi.

The guards who served around him were completely confused, but these guards knew very well that Lord Tian was angry in his heart at this time, and he still didn't want to easily step forward and shake in front of Lord Tian's eyes, so as not to bear the wrath of thunder.

A few days ago, 300 people from the Xiaocai Battalion stationed in the camp of the Northern Army of Luodu suddenly came to Suozao County, saying that they were coming on the order of Lord Gongsun, and told Tian Yu what Yang Yi said before leaving.

Hearing that Gongsun Yi was no longer in charge of the Xiao cavalry camp, Xiao Ji could not hide his excitement, and for Xiao Ji, he would prefer to see Tian Yu cut the land and become the king, rather than continue to follow Gongsun Yi.

Although Gongsun Yi is wise and resolute, it is obviously much worse than Tian Yu, in fact, since the general He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants, Xiao Ji has advised Tian Yu many times, hoping that Tian Yu will support the army and respect himself, with the current strength, even if he kills back to the imperial court, it is not impossible to control the Beijing division.

It's just that Tian Yu seems to be a little jealous, and he has not been able to make up his mind, at this time, since they don't owe each other, they will go half of the road to the sky in the future, and Xiao Ji's mind will be alive again.

In the following days, Tian Yu seemed to have changed as a person, silent every day, immersed in training soldiers, and today's letter came, obviously indicating that Gongsun was in the Xiliang military camp, and the letter was conclusive, asking him to lead the army to take refuge with Dong Gong, who had a deep blood feud with the Xiaocai battalion, which made Tian Yu's heart angry.

Tian Yu read the letter several times, it was indeed Gongsun Yi's notes, it seemed that Yang Yi followed Dong Zhuo with an iron heart, and after pondering for a long time, Tian Yu suddenly hit the corner of the table with his fist, and after weighing it repeatedly, he had made a decision.

In the military camp of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the three hundred officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who had just come from Luodu were resting in the temporary military camp.

I don't know why, when I came to the Xiaocai Battalion in Suozao County, everything seemed to be different from what I imagined, and they seemed to be a little out of place with the officers and soldiers of the other Xiaocai Battalion.

They were gathered together and ordered not to leave, as if they were imprisoned, but Tian Yu's order had been given, but no one dared to disobey it, although the wine and meat continued, but no one liked the feeling of being locked in a cage.

"My lord, Meng Gang and the others stayed, can they protect Lord Gongsun?" A slightly thin body that looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old asked casually.

Shi Chang, who was lying on the haystack with squinted eyes, said lightly: "Meng Gang and the others are the best among all, they have been dart masters before, what's the matter, do you kid want to stay, just your small body, is it the adults who protect you, or do you protect the adults?" ”

The thin soldier who asked earlier was a little embarrassed, and was about to change the topic, when he suddenly rushed into a group of armor-holding armor soldiers from outside the tent, and the thin armor soldier was just about to get up, when he was suddenly kicked to the ground by the oncoming armor soldier.

The chief lying on the haystack was just about to draw his knife, but he felt a slight chill, and when he looked closely, he saw that the sharp blade was already on his neck.

"Be honest, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for slipping his hands!" A group of armor soldiers around stepped forward and dragged Shi Chang and the armor soldiers who fell to the ground and curled up together in pain, and tied them up.

Soon the 300 sergeants who came from Luodu were sent to a secret dungeon, which was full of armor soldiers who were tied up and thrown on the ground.

"Tian Yu, this ungrateful thing, actually plans to betray Lord Gongsun!" Before the words fell, the person behind Shi Chang, who was tied up by the five flowers, kicked into the cell and collided with the rest of the group.

In Suozao County, in front of a rather luxurious and wide mansion, hundreds of armor soldiers surrounded the mansion, Tian Yu was expressionless, standing in front of a group of armor soldiers, looking indifferently at Ning Er standing in the courtyard.

"Lord Tian, what do you want?" Ning Er stepped forward and looked at Tian Yu with a smile and asked.

"My lord has decided to support the army and stand on his own, and since then he has broken off with Gongsun Yien, although you are Gongsun Yi's person, but your lord is benevolent, and will ensure that you are clothed and fed, and you will be thanked quickly." Xiao Ji sneered and looked at Ning Er, now that Gongsun Yi is out of power, look at how she still 'shows off her might'.

"Throughout the ages, loyalty and righteousness come first, and the son has always valued the adult, why should he be treacherous and abandon it today." Ning Er's eyebrows condensed slightly, and she raised her voice to question Tian Yu.

"Since ancient times, I have had the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, and I have my own difficulties." Tian Yu's face was expressionless, and he responded indifferently.

"Betraying the son, separating one side, and taking the opportunity to seize the world, presumably this is the hardship of the adult, since I broke up in two, I also asked Lord Tian to let me go, I will go to find the son." Ning Er became more and more disappointed in Tian Yu, Tian Yu, who was regarded as a brother before, was no different from the rebels who burned and looted at the beginning.

"As long as you don't leave this yard, all you need, just tell the guard in front of the door." After Tian Yu finished speaking, he bowed slightly, hugged his fists, turned around and strode towards the door.

Everyone dispersed, and Ning Er's slightly frowning brows standing in the courtyard did not stretch, now Tian Yu's style of acting is completely different from before, maybe this matter is not as simple as it seems.
