Chapter 40: The Tiger Prison
Under Dong Liang's reminder, Dong Zhuo had already begun to prepare for both hands, preparing to meet the princes' crusade on the one hand. On the other side, they are also ready to move the capital, and Dong Zhuo began to transfer troops, and then let the various armies begin to mobilize people, and then they can move the capital if necessary. Of course, the relocation of the capital was only carried out when war was not possible, but there was certainly nothing wrong with being prepared. And the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms said that Dong Zhuo forced millions of people in Luoyang to move the capital to Chang'an, this is simply nonsense. According to Dong Liang's discoveries during this period of time, the population of Luoyang at this time was only five or six hundred thousand, where are the millions in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the remaining hundreds of people are Luo Guanzhong's casual nonsense.
And Fu Shanxiang also reminded Dong Liang that the first city in history with a population of more than one million was Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, not Luoyang in the Han Dynasty. However, with Fu Shanxiang, a woman who is very good at handling internal affairs, and Dong Liang asked the soldiers to mobilize the people everywhere to prepare for the relocation of the capital, this also got a lot of wealth. After all, Fu Shanxiang is very good at managing money and formulating various economic systems, so with her, Dong Liang feels much easier in terms of financial resources.
"Shanxiang, the position of the head of the household book in the future must be yours!" Dong Liang immediately began to promise.
When Fu Shanxiang heard this, he catered to Dong Liang even more in bed, obviously working harder to make Dong Liang more comfortable, which really made Dong Liang want to die.
Three days later, news came from outside.
"Report--, the princes and traitors from all walks of life have arrived outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Bao Xin has come to challenge."
"Huh? Who wants to fight? Dong Zhuo asked.
And Dong Liang immediately took the initiative to ask for his life and said: "Uncle, my nephew is willing to go!" ”
"Why bother Dong Gongzi? The last general is willing to go and behead that Bao Xin for Lord Taiwei! Hua Xiong said.
And after Dong Zhuo heard it, he also said: "Since this is the case, then let Huaxiong go!" ”
In less than two days, news came from the front, that is, news about Huaxiong.
"Tai Lieutenant, it's not good, General Huaxiong defeated Bao Xin at Tiger Prison Pass at the beginning, and then successively killed the enemy general Yu Shi Pan Feng, and the morale of our army was greatly boosted. But later, another cuckold guy was easily killed, and the morale of our army plummeted, so I asked the captain to quickly send a good general to preside over the overall situation. ”
And when Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken, this Huaxiong actually died like this. But Dong Liang felt a little weird, because this Hua Xiong was really unlucky, he actually escaped one catastrophe but not another.
According to the real history, Hua Xiong was actually killed by Sun Jian in Nanyang. And Dong Liang replaced Hua Xiong to fight Sun Jian, so that Hua Xiong escaped death and was not killed by Sun Jian. However, his fate is still very tragic, he was killed by a cuckold guy in this battle, this should be Guan Yu. And this Guan Yu Wenjiu slashed Huaxiong, which was actually made up in the novel. But in this time and space, because of Dong Liang's change of history, Hua Xiong escaped the catastrophe, but instead coincided with the history in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and was killed by him.
"Uncle, let me take Miaozhen this time!" Dong Liang said.
However, Lu Bu took the initiative to come out and said, "Captain, let me lead the troops!" ”
"Huh?" Dong Zhuo hesitated.
Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu and Dong Liang both wanted to fight, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart. Because now Dong Zhuo actually doesn't trust Lu Bu very much, because Lu Bu actually doesn't have Dong Zhuo's absolute trust, and although Lu Bu originally took refuge in Dong Zhuo by killing Zhijin Wuding, Dong Zhuo did not continue to grant him military power, but just used him as a senior bodyguard. Lu Bu actually doesn't have military power at present, because Dong Zhuo doesn't trust him very much. And now that Hua Xiong has been killed, it is inevitable that a more powerful general will be sent, and there are currently two candidates, namely Lu Bu and Yang Miaozhen. And if Lu Bu is sent, then I am afraid that the people of Luoyang City will be unstable. After all, Luoyang City still needs a martial artist with strong martial arts skills to sit in charge, and Yang Miaozhen does not have this deterrent power to suppress the people in Luoyang.
And of course, there is a more important reason, that is, Lu Bu did not gain Dong Zhuo's sincere trust, and Dong Zhuo did not want to grant Lu Bu military power. Lu Bu does not have military power, and if he is allowed to go on the expedition, he will inevitably have military power, which is definitely not safe for Dong Zhuo.
And Yang Miaozhen is different, Yang Miaozhen is Dong Liang's person, and Dong Liang is his nephew and a family. Although Yang Miaozhen doesn't buy Dong Zhuo's face, as long as she still recognizes Dong Liang, that's fine. And Dong Liang will not betray the Dong family, at present, the Dong family can be said to be shouted and beaten by everyone in the world, so if the people of the Dong family leave the Dong family at this time and no longer continue to hold together, then this will definitely be hacked. Therefore, Dong Liang will never betray the Dong family, so this also brings that Yang Miaozhen will not betray.
"Okay, let Miss Yang go to the Tiger Prison Pass, let those Kwantung princes see, the women of our Dong family can also beat them all over the ground to find teeth!" Dong Zhuo said.
"Thank you, uncle!" Dong Liang said.
Dong Zhuo actually hopes that Yang Miaozhen can come to the foreground and replace Lu Bu's deterrent. After all, at this time, the military general is equivalent to a strategic deterrent, similar to the nuclear warheads of later generations. And if this military general wants to have deterrence, he must have combat merits, and if there is no military merit, it is impossible to gain attention. Therefore, military merit is the most basic thing, and Yang Miaozhen does not have too much prestige at present. And Dong Zhuo hopes that Yang Miaozhen can establish prestige, so that he can replace Lu Bu as a strategic deterrent. Lu Bu, this guy Dong Zhuo knows that he is not very reliable, so Dong Zhuo has not given him military power, that is, he is afraid of his betrayal. And later Wang Yun may have known this, so he jumped to Lu Bu to rebel against Dong Zhuo.
Dong Liang rushed out of Luoyang with his 2,000 cavalry and rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass east of Luoyang. This time he knew that it was a battle that he was famous for, as long as he could win, then he could be said to be famous all over the world, and maybe he could inherit Dong Zhuo's "legacy" after Dong Zhuo's burp. And in this battle, it was Yang Miaozhen who really needed to fight, not Dong Liang. And Dong Liang only needs to watch the play on the city tower, and he doesn't need too many things.
"I've seen General Dong Zhonglang!" Hu Zhen of the Tiger Prison said.
Hu Zhen turned out to be Hua Xiong's deputy, this time Hua Xiong was killed, and Hu Zhen alone could not defeat the Kwantung princes, so he naturally asked Dong Zhuo to send one again. And this time Dong Liang also came in person, which made Hu Zhen feel relieved. And Hu Zhen had also heard about it before, not long ago, Dong Liang annihilated Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, as well as Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops. Of course, Hu Zhen didn't know the specific inside story of Dong Liang's defeat of Sun Jian and Gongsun Zhan, he just thought that Dong Liang was a person who could fight, so he chose to trust Dong Liang. What's more, Dong Liang is Dong Zhuo's nephew and Dong Zhuo's family, so Hu Zhen naturally knows the truth of being inseparable.
"Report to the general, the enemy general Zhang Xun in front is coming to fight!"
When Dong Liang heard this Zhang Xun, he immediately didn't know where a guy came out. If it was Zhang Xun at the end of the Qing Dynasty, then Dong Liang would be more familiar, but Zhang Xun at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then Dong Liang would really be unheard of.
"Hmph, looking at the appearance of this guy, at most he is a seventy or eighty guy with force, and he can't be ranked very high. Miaozhen, go and slaughter him for me! Dong Liang said.
"Yes, my lord!" Yang Miaozhen said.
And Hu Zhen was very surprised, Dong Liang actually let Yang Miaozhen go out to fight, this is incredible. Because although there are many people in Luoyang City who have seen Yang Miaozhen, she has always been by Dong Liang's side, but everyone does not know Yang Miaozhen's strength. And last time, Dong Zhuoli wanted to canonize her as the captain of the shooting voice, and this is to let everyone really recognize the name Yang Miaozhen. But everyone doesn't take a woman in their eyes, after all, what can a woman do, no matter how powerful she is, how powerful can she be better than a man? It has to be said that in ancient times, sexism was very strict, and everyone recognized that women's abilities were inferior to men's. Especially in martial arts, except for some accidental factors of special times, it is impossible for a woman to become an excellent general.
After all, women are inferior to men in the first place, so it is naturally difficult to stand out on the ancient battlefield. And if a woman wants to stand out on the ancient battlefield, the price she pays is even greater. The probability of a female general is much more difficult than that of a male general, generally speaking, it takes hundreds of years to produce a female general with a name and surname that can be recorded in the history books, and this probability is too low, so Hu Zhen does not believe in Yang Miaozhen's strength. Even if you take a step back, if Yang Miaozhen really has the strength, then why did she choose to follow Dong Liang, a "gentleman"? I have to say that Dong Liang's image of a gentleman has lowered everyone's estimation of Yang Miaozhen, after all, no one believes that a woman with strong martial arts and excellent skills would be willing to follow a gentleman as a concubine.
"Hu Zhen, look at it, let's make a bet and see how many rounds this Zhang Xun can support!" Dong Liang said.
"How many rounds? I'm afraid Miss Yang won't be able to hold out for a round! Hu Zhen said.
Hu Zhen didn't believe that a woman could kill the enemy's general, which was impossible in Hu Zhen's eyes.
And Dong Liang smiled and said nothing, because he knew that this Zhang Xun was not famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, so naturally it was impossible to last long. Such a parallel general, if he can support four or five rounds under Yang Miaozhen, it is already very remarkable, and I don't know how much shit luck I have left. Perhaps, you will be killed in a round, and this is not impossible.
