Chapter 30: The Great War of the Tiger (4)
But it was said that Guan Erye defeated the heavy general of the Xiliang Army and killed countless Huaxiong. Return to the Kwantung Coalition Army Battalion. The princes were also impressed by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. This Guan Er Ye made a small advertisement for his good brother Zhang Sanye, saying that Zhang Sanye took the head of a general among the ten thousand armies, which was like picking up something. Cao Cao, who was foolish, believed it to be true, and immediately picked up his clothes, and used a pen to write Zhang Fei's name and bravery on his clothes.
At this time, Zhang San's gang stood up and shouted loudly, saying that he was not ashamed to let all the princes enter the Tiger Prison Pass together and capture Dong Zhuo alive. It's really a dumbfounded. When Yuan Shu saw Zhang Fei yelling there, he couldn't help but secretly despise him and reprimanded him. Why, so many big leaders here didn't speak, what kind of effort do you have to be a little soldier. It is necessary to arrange for the guards to beat Zhang Fei out of the stick.
When Cao Cao saw it, he immediately stood up to intercede for Zhang Fei, so he was spared, and advocated rewarding Guan Erye. Then Yuan Shu is going to pick a son and quit when he sees this, which basically means that Liu Bei is from a humble background, what kind of weaver and peddler, if you Cao Cao is hard-hearted to respect him as a guest, we Yuan Shu will not play with you. said that he was going back to Nanyang, let Cao Cao play with Liu Bei, an old poor ghost!
Cao Cao has intersected with Yuan Shu since he was a child, and he knows that Yuan Shu is a stingy ghost, and he is a little stunned, and it is really possible to stop doing it on impulse, and the Kwantung Coalition Army is afraid that it will be in danger of falling apart immediately, so the faces of his own people will not be able to hang up. Besides, Liu Bei was indeed an inconsequential character at this time, so he quickly grabbed Yuan Shu and couldn't stop apologizing. After all, the power of Yuan Shu at this time is leveraged, and it is not comparable to Liu Bei, the so-called down-and-out royal family.
Although this Gongsun Zhan brought Liu Bei here, and wanted to help Liu Bei when he saw that he was embarrassed, but at this time, his own power was still not comparable to the Yuan family, and the so-called arm could not twist his thigh, and he could only let his old classmate Liu be wronged.
Liu Bei was helpless and walked away. Guan Erye fought desperately here, defeated Huaxiong in vain, and as a result, he didn't get anything, so he drank a glass of water and wine, only to get a strong martial arts, split the good reputation of Huaxiong, and together with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he retreated in disgrace.
After Liu Bei returned to the camp, he discussed with his two brothers to immediately pack his luggage and prepare to return to his hometown immediately.
Not long after, Gongsun Zhan had already returned from the coalition camp, and when he saw Liu Bei packing up, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian is packing his luggage at this moment, what do you want?" ā
Liu Bei said: "I was about to report to my brother, but Yuan Shu deceived people too much, and my younger brother was humiliated, so he was packing his luggage and returning to his hometown." ā
Gongsun Zhan said: "Xuande, our princes are estimated to be about to fight with the Xiliang Army, it is the time for heroes to use force, how can Xuande Xian Brother return lightly?" ā
Liu Bei said: "The little brother is a small soldier, and it is useless to stay here." ā
Gongsun Chan said: "Could it be that Xuande Xian Brother has no intention of fame? ā
Liu Bei replied loudly: "Although the junior brother is interested in serving the country, I am afraid that the princes of Kwantung will not be able to use my three brothers." ā
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Gongsun Zan immediately laughed and said: "Brother Xuandexian, now that the war is about to break out, your three brothers have the courage of ten thousand people. Besides, the Xiliang Army is also a capable person, are you and the other three brothers afraid that there will be no chance to fight? At this time, it is wrapped up in the brother. ā
After listening to Gongsun Zhan's words, Liu Bei dispelled the idea of returning to his hometown, in fact, this Liu Bei is just doing it, after all, now is a good opportunity to get ahead, once you miss it, you can't find it again.
Not long after, Cao Cao also came, and brought some beef, mutton, wine and meat, and greeted Liu Bei for a while, and there was inevitably some solicitation in his words, but Liu Bei felt that he was the emperor of the royal family, and he had the heart to do a great career, so he was naturally unwilling to succumb to others. So I just pretended to be stupid. Cao Cao's power is still weak at the moment, and he will not be forced. So the guests and hosts were happy, and the accomplices got drunk.
Here, Huaxiong was defeated and returned to the pass, and Li Su hurriedly wrote a document to report to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and Li Ru suggested to Dong Zhuo again, saying that Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition army, and his prestige was great, and Yuan Feng was in a critical position in the inner court. Jian yƬ Dong Zhuo should take more precautions against Yuan Feng. Dong Zhuo was angry, and there was nowhere to vent, just when Yuan Feng hit the muzzle of the gun. So, Guo Yan, Wang Fang and others were sent to each lead 500 armor soldiers to surround Yuan Fengfu. Kill the generals, regardless of the old and the young, kill them all.
He also asked people to hang Yuan Feng's head on the tiger prison, so that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could take a good look.
Li Ru and Dong Zhuo personally led the troops into battle. At this time, Zheng Tai, who was still the book, advised Dong Zhuodao: "Yuan Benchu is the son of Gongqing, and he was born in Beijing. Zhang Mengzhuo Dongping is an elder, and he can't sit in the hall, and Kong Gongxu talks about high arguments and boasts. If you don't have military talent, you're no match for you. Moreover, within the coalition forces, there is no distinction between the big and the small, and the orders are different, and it is difficult to work together. Moreover, Shandong has been peaceful for a long time, but you have been fighting in Xiqiang all the year round and winning all battles. The Shandong soldiers were not as brave as the Xiliang soldiers. It is better to guard the pass and sit back and watch the success or failure of the princes of Shandong. In fact, what Zheng Tai said also made sense, and later, as he said, the Kwantung princes could not work together to fight against Dong Zhuo, but instead intrigued and fought each other. No one dared to go against Dong Zhuo with iron heart.
However, it was said that Dong Zhuo listened to Shangshu Zheng Tai's words, and his anger was slightly relieved, but Dong Zhuo himself fought endlessly all year round and won a hundred battles, so he couldn't swallow the bad breath before being beaten by the Shandong princes. I had to lead a large army and break through this group of Kwantung thieves. You have to beat this group of Kanto thieves to the point that you can't find the north, so that you can give up and get out of this evil breath in your heart. So, he didn't listen to Zheng Tai's dissuasion and insisted on sending troops.
Dong Zhuo arranged for his younger brother Dong Min, nephews Dong Huang, Duan Wei, Dong Yue, Wang Fang and others to lead 50,000 horses to guard Luoyang as backup. Dong Zhuo personally led 100,000 troops, and brought Li Ru, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Guo Yan and others to the Tiger Prison Pass.
After arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass, Hua Xiong pleaded guilty to Dong Zhuo because of the defeat of the army. Dong Zhuo didn't say a word, and was about to order Hua Xiong to be killed. In fact, this is not to blame Dong Zhuo for being cruel, when Hua Xiong led the troops, he made a package ticket, saying that he could guard the tiger prison very well. Now that he has lost the battle, Dong Zhuo wants to kill him, he naturally has nothing to say.
At this time, Dong Bai knew that it was time for him to speak, so he knelt in front of Dong Zhuo and said loudly to Dong Zhuo: "Father, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, besides, before Hua Xiong, he killed Bao Zhong, defeated Sun Jian, and beheaded Yu Shi and Pan Feng made a lot of meritorious contributions. Now that the war is about to break out, it is the time to employ people, so it is better to pardon Hua Xiong first and let him make meritorious contributions in the future. It can also make the rest of the soldiers use their lives and make more meritorious contributions. ā
Dong Zhuo saw his son interceding for Huaxiong, and said: "As the saying goes, meritorious service must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, and this military law is also!" Besides, this Huaxiong patted his chest and promised the prime minister before he went to war, if it is light and forgiving, wouldn't it make people say that my military orders are not strict? ā
Dong Shouye said again: "Father, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the child admires them very much. But now this Huaxiong has made meritorious contributions, and it is too much to defeat Guan Yu in the battle, and the child is foolish to see that this Huaxiong's merits are enough to offset it, I don't know what happened to my father? ā
Dong Zhuo was also a little moved when he heard the words of his precious son, and felt that he also had steps to go down, so he pondered for a while, and said to Hua Xiong in a loud voice: "Captain Hua, then for the sake of my son, let you offset your merits and demerits, what do you have to say?" ā
Hua Xiong saw Dong Shouye pleading for himself, so he was naturally grateful, and hurriedly thanked Dong Zhuo and Dong Shouye: "Thank you for the grace of the prime minister not to kill, thank you for the young son's words to save him, Hua Xiong will definitely treat the crime in the future and make meritorious contributions, and repay the great kindness of the prime minister and the son." ā
Dong Shouye hurriedly helped Hua Xiong up, and he couldn't help but comfort him.
This is Li Ru said out loud: "Prime Minister, since Gongzi came out to save Huaxiong, it's okay over there, but the defeat is also an indisputable fact, it is better to take Huaxiong's original official position out, and at the same time transfer him to Gongzi's account, let him protect Gongzi, and make meritorious contributions to the crime." As for what position the official residence will be in the future, it is better to let the son arrange it, I don't know what the prime minister thinks? ā
So Dong Zhuo pardoned Hua Xiong, let him make meritorious contributions, and took off all his official positions and transferred him to his precious son's account to obey orders.
This Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others seemed to have a clear heart, and they could naturally see Dong Bai's true intention to intercede for Hua Xiong, so they didn't name him, so they pushed the boat down the river, put Hua Xiong under Dong Bai's account, and weighed Dong Bai's thoughts.
If someone else was so blatantly digging the foot of the wall from Dong Zhuo's hands, it would not be immediately arrested and chopped up by Dong Zhuo. But Dong Bai is different, his only precious son, in the future, he will not be handed over to him, let alone a general. It's not the same for early and late delivery. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are now also secretly paving the way for Dong Shouye and planning for the future. Slowly put some military power into the hands of Dong Shouye, some cronies and generals, if Dong Shouye can be subdued, try to let Dong Shouye be subdued, and at the same time let him participate in various important events, and gradually exercise Dong Shouye's ability.
To say that Dong Zhuo didn't have this plan before, after all, Dong Shouye was away for a long time and was not at home before, even if Dong Zhuo wanted to do something for him, it would be beyond the reach of the whip. Later, Dong Shouye's bear son came back, but he kept working against his father and didn't obey Dong Zhuo's arrangement. Dong Shouye's non-cooperation also made Dong Zhuo very helpless, if he had been on someone else, he would have killed him with a knife. But he has so little blood and bones, Dong Zhuo can't do anything, so he can only endure it by himself. Fortunately, this Dong Shouye fell and finally got on the road. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also began to rest assured that they could arrange the future for Dong Shouye.
Na Huaxiong saw that his son-in-law interceded for himself, and the prime minister assigned himself to his son-in-law's account, he was naturally grateful to Dong Bai, and he also knew that when he fought with Guan Erye, if Dong Bai hadn't asked Zhang Liao to release arrows to save him, he would have been cut by Guan Erye with a knife. So, Hua Xiong was under Dong Bai's account, desperate and conscientious, this is a later story.
Thank you for the big flower support
