Chapter 3 Return to Chang'an

After receiving the order, Dong Shouye did not hesitate to carry it out. However, implementation is implementation, and there must be some consideration in the method.

Dong Shouye still drove the people to Xinfeng Station first, and then rested on the spot for a day, recuperated in good condition, and accepted the review of his father Dong Zhuo in the most perfect state.

Now Dong Shouye doesn't have any concept of an emperor in his heart, as a person who has traveled from the 21st century, he has seen countless emperors on TV, so he doesn't have that concept of awe for the emperor. The emperor is far from being so mysterious, so majestic, and today's little emperor is only a teenager, just a little hairy child.

There is also a preconceived concept of Dong Shouye, Dong Shouye clearly remembers that after he met Dong Zhuo, the first thing Dong Zhuo said was "When today's son is Liu Xie, it is established by me", how unstoppable, with such a Lao Tzu, how could Dong Shouye be in awe of the emperor.

In Dong Shouye's opinion, his father Dong Zhuo's inspection of his troops is the most important thing for him, and it has nothing to do with him whether the emperor and civil and military officials come or not.

However, after Dong Shouye arranged the soldiers and horses, he still chose to take Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei to lead some guards to Chang'an City, and the general division Jia Xu and the remaining generals stayed in the camp to arrange everything.

Dong Shouye and the others arrived in Chang'an City in the afternoon.

Outside the east gate of Chang'an City, someone greeted Dong Shouye.

Dong Shouye's eldest brother-in-law, Li Ru, had been waiting for nearly an hour, with twenty or thirty sergeants by his side, fully armed.

Dong Zhuo would not come to greet Dong Shouye, in that era, it was natural for his son to go out of the city to greet Lao Tzu. If Lao Tzu goes out of the city to greet his son, it will cause criticism, and most people will say that the side that is a son is unfilial.

Filial piety is the highest moral standard in the Han Dynasty, and if a person is not filial, it is difficult to mix. And a person who becomes a filial son is very good for himself, whether he is an official or a person, he will be relatively smooth.

Dong Shouye was very happy to see Li Ru, he hadn't seen each other for several months, and he missed it a little, but suddenly he felt a little shy, it felt like a candidate who had just finished answering the question and shared his test paper with his parents, and the results were very good. With a little joy, but also with a little uneasiness, the result of the test paper is not a perfect score, but it is definitely excellent, I want to get the affirmation of my parents, and I feel that I am not the most perfect.

It was a simple and complex feeling!

Dong Shouye, a student, has parents, that is, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru.

Dong Shouye longs for their affirmation and praise.

Dong Shouye's real teacher in military affairs is his father Dong Zhuo, at the beginning of Dong Shouye's first leading the army, Dong Zhuo tried his best to pass on his experience to his son, Dong Zhuo has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 30 years, and there are few people in the entire Han Dynasty who can be more experienced than him.

Some people may say that Huangfu Song's ability is stronger than Dong Zhuo's, which is difficult for us to deny, after all, in the existing literary and historical materials, this view is undoubtedly true.

There is one thing we need to know, that is, Dong Zhuo was born at the bottom, has experienced countless dangerous battles, and has been wandering for a long time in life and death, and his combat exploits have been obtained step by step. This is incomparable to Huangfu Song, who was born in a big family.

Dong Zhuo started from a small soldier, and Huangfu Song started from a general.

Battlefield experience can be taught, and Dong Shouye seems to have learned well. If the teacher chooses well, it is also a successful method.

Compared with this, Sun Jian is more tragic, and he didn't learn any essence in his studies.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the year, there were many generals with experience in grassroots operations, and many people had experience in middle-level operations, but there were very few people with experience in large corps operations. There are only a handful, Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo, Zhang Wen (two knives, mainly relying on Dong Zhuo) and Zhang Jiao (barely Yeluzi) are just a few people. Sun Jian is considered to be a teacher of Zhu Jun, but he has not learned any real skills, or Zhu Jun has no real skills, and Dong Shouye, who is the teacher of his father Dong Zhuo, is obviously better than Sun Jian in learning, which is also one of the reasons why Sun Jian lost in the battle of Liangdong.

Li Ru, as the person who supports Dong Shouye to fight, if the family relationship between the two is put aside, it should be a recommendation to Dong Shouye, according to the unspoken rules of the times, Dong Shouye should also claim to be Li Ru's protégé.

Li Ru's feelings towards Dong Shouye are complicated, including the feelings of the eldest brother-in-law and the younger brother-in-law, the feelings of the elders towards their sons and nephews, and the feelings of the courtiers towards the lord. He was worried about the future of Xiliang Army, and he also saw some hope from Dong Shouye.

The two old men looked at each other outside Chang'an City for a while, and a thousand words were all in their words, probably feeling a little strange, and finally came back to their senses.

Dong Shouye saluted Li Ru and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm back!" When he spoke, he was a little excited and seemed a little trembling.

Li Ru smiled and said, "It's good to come back safely, but your father-in-law is still waiting for you in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

On the one hand, Li Ru has high hopes for Dong Shouye, but on the other hand, he is also a little guilty. In his opinion, Dong Shouye could have not had to go to the battlefield to fight hard, even if he took over the Xiliang Army, he didn't necessarily have to go to the battlefield, he could still do well in the court. But for the future of the Xiliang Army, in order to continue this career, Li Ru must let Dong Shouye go to the battlefield, he was born in Xiliang, he understands that only the soldiers who survive on the battlefield can really master the Xiliang Army, and the real war can suppress the fierce generals of the Xiliang Army. This good thing that can be done in the court can be done better on the battlefield, and in the future, it can be more effectively controlled in the court.

In this troubled world, the most powerful thing to say is the sword in the hand, not the momentary gains and losses in the court. Even if he is white, as long as the sword in his hand is sharp enough, he can speak and count in the court.

Li Ru also thought about this truth for a long time before he figured it out, so Li Ru wanted Dong Shouye to master the sharpest sword.

Fortunately, Li Ru bet right, Dong Shouye, like his father Dong Zhuo, is a natural warrior and a natural commander. Dong Zhuo took more than 30 years to prove this, and his son Dong Shouye took less than two years to prove it.

Dong Shouye's victory is due to his talent, and I have to mention the support of his father, the precipitation of his father's accumulated strength as a paving, in exchange for Dong Shouye's explosion.

Dong Shouye is undoubtedly lucky, Dong Zhuo is a famous murderer in the world, but this does not prevent him from becoming a good father, at least in Dong Shouye's opinion, the current Dong Zhuo is a good father; Li Ru is a well-known "poisoner" in the world, but he always thinks about the interests of Dong Shouye.
