Early in the morning of the second day, Dong Shouye got up very early, which is also a benefit of rational drinking, which will not delay things and do not affect the normal work and rest. After waking up, I washed up and practiced marksmanship for an hour as usual.

Martial arts is the capital to settle down in troubled times, and Dong Shouye must not be careless at all for the sake of his own life.

After tossing this qiē, Dong Shouye took Dian Wei to Zheng Tai's mansion to study.

Zheng Tai didn't go to the morning court today, so Dong Shouye came to the school early to listen to the teacher's teachings. Zheng Tai was a little out of shape at that time, and his health was ill, so he hastily ended today's schoolwork. Dong Shouye left Teacher Zheng Tai's school happily like a primary school student after school.

After leaving the Zheng Mansion, Dong Shouye and Dian Wei went to yesterday's restaurant.

To tell the truth, Dong Shouye went to the restaurant this time to find Wei Zhongdao, after getting along yesterday, Dong Shouye has a sense of confidant to Wei Zhongdao. Friend, this is a beautiful thing, Dong Shouye cherishes it very much. Wei Zhongdao can treat Dong Shouye as a friend, so Dong Shouye also cherishes this friendship very much.

Dong Shouye and Dian Wei had just walked to the door of the restaurant they had been to yesterday, and they met a small servant at home.

The little guy grabbed Dong Shouye and said that there was something in the house looking for him.

After Dong Shouye asked carefully along the way, he learned that it was his eldest brother-in-law Li Ru looking for him.

The idea of meeting with Wei Zhongdao again can only be stopped there.

After returning to the house, Li Ru had been waiting in Dong Shouye's small courtyard for a long time.

Dong Shouye asked, "Brother-in-law, looking for me so urgently, I don't know what's the matter?" ”

Li Ru smiled and said, "Shouye, I explained to you a few days ago that the Taishi will soon be 60 years old, I don't know how you are preparing." ”

Dong Shouye patted his head and said, "If it weren't for the reminder of my eldest brother-in-law, I would have almost forgotten such a big thing." ”

Li Ru was a little speechless, a son actually forgot his father's birthday, but it was really unfilial, so he said: "Don't hesitate to panic, it's too late to prepare now." ”

Dong Shouye saw that Li Ru thought he was unprepared, so he explained: "Brother-in-law, I have already prepared a gift and have been rushing to make it, and now I estimate that it should be made, but I forgot to get it, it's not that I was unprepared." ”

Li Ru said: "I see, just prepare!" Then he asked, "Shouye, what have you prepared, and do you want your brother-in-law to help?" ”

Dong Shouye replied: "Brother-in-law, no need, the gift I prepared is guaranteed to make my father happy." ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "That's good, that's good!" ”

Dong Shouye asked at this time: "By the way, eldest brother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you?" Before, my father asked Zhonglang to lead Hu Zhen to lead the soldiers and horses to defend Yangcheng, and Yang Ding served as an assistant, but these two were defeated by Sun Jian, and they lost a lot of people, I don't know how my father dealt with these two. ”

It turned out that after Hu Zhen's army was defeated, he went to the vicinity of Luoyang to make peace with Dong Shouye, and then he has been obeying the dispatch under Dong Shouye's account, and then there was no major war, so he returned to Chang'an with Dong Shouye, and listened to Dong Zhuo's fate. Hu Zhen, as the general of the Xiliang Army, after the defeat, returned to Chang'an to be punished. As for Dong Zhuo's killing or scraping, it can only depend on his mood, after all, Hu Zhen's defeat is an indisputable fact.

Defeat is defeat, there are not so many reasons.

During the time when Hu Zhen listened to the tune under Dong Shouye's account, he had always been very good, and he was respectful to Dong Shouye, so that Dong Shouye had a certain good impression of him, and wanted to plead with his father Dong Zhuo for him.

In Dong Shouye's impression, Hu Zhen is a bit arrogant, with a straightforward temper, which is not bad, although his ability is not as good as Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Li Dao and others, he is also a good talent, and if he uses it well, he may not be able to shine. Moreover, Hu Zhen belongs to the core generals of the first echelon in the Xiliang Army, on the one hand, he is older, and on the other hand, he himself has a few hard brushes.

As for Yang Ding, Dong Shouye has not been in contact with him for the time being, and he doesn't have any feelings for him, but he mentions Hu Zhen in passing. The reason why I know this person's name is because Hu Zhen once mentioned it to Dong Shouye.

Dong Shouye once asked Hu Zhen the reason for the defeat in the first battle that day. In Dong Shouye's memory, this battle in history should have been a disagreement between Hu Zhen and Lu Bu, and Lu Bu made some tricks to lead Hu Zhen's defeat. And now, due to the slight deviation in the history of Dong Shouye's existence, under Dong Shouye's human intervention, Hu Zhen did not intersect with Lu Bu, so it is impossible for Lu Bu to lead Hu Zhen's defeat. But Hu Zhen is still defeated, and history has an incredible inertia.

Therefore, Dong Shouye was particularly curious about the reason for Hu Zhen's defeat, and Hu Zhen's answer to this was that Sun Jian's surprise attack was due to Sun Jian's surprise attack, and there was a spite with his own team, and the formation was chaotic, so Sun Jian took advantage of it.

The two talked and analyzed for a long time, but they didn't find any specific reason, and they were a little annoyed.

What Dong Shouye and Hu Zhen didn't know was that the root cause of the defeat was the betrayal of their comrades-in-arms. At the beginning, Hu Zhen threatened to kill the green ribbon to rectify military discipline, and there were only two young ribbons in the army at that time, that is, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding. There is a saying: the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hu Zhen's words made Yang Ding take it to heart, thinking that Hu Zhen was targeting himself.

Therefore, Yang Ding used some tricks, and as a result, Hu Zhen was defeated.

But the outspoken Hu Zhen still trusted Yang Ding very much and did not doubt his comrades-in-arms. After the defeat, Yang Ding fled back to Chang'an through Hanguguan, but Hu Zhen went to make peace with Dong Shouye.

Li Ru heard Dong Shouye smell about Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, so he replied: "The Taishi has discussed this matter with me, and Hu Zhen is also a talent, and he has been loyal to the Taishi for so many years, so it would be a pity if he killed him like this." Therefore, the Taishi demoted him to an ordinary lieutenant and was responsible for guarding the Beijing Division. As for Yang Ding, this person's performance in the battle was okay, and he had neither merit nor fault, so he was not rewarded or punished, and he still stayed in Chang'an City and stopped using it. ”

When Dong Shouye heard Li Ru's words, he had a bottom in his heart, as long as people don't kill, there will always be a chance for him to make some contributions in the future, and he can listen to it under his account in the future.

The two chatted for a while, Li Ru was still a little worried about Dong Shouye, and admonished: "Shouye, Master Taishi's birthday banquet is the most important event, you must take it to heart." Filial piety comes first, Taishi is your father, as a son of man, you should fulfill filial piety and take filial piety as the foundation. ”

Dong Shouye knew that Li Ru was doing this for his own good, of course he would not give up the other party's kindness, and said yes again and again, saying that he would not let everyone down.
