Chapter 160: The Abolition of the Establishment
Dong Zhuo saw that Lu Bu rushed first, and he was already panicked in his heart, and immediately ordered a retreat. Ding Yuan naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to hit Dong Zhuo, and almost at the moment when Dong Zhuo's side was singing, he also launched the drumbeat of the attack. Dong Zhuo had already lost his momentum, and Ding Yuan's command was dominated by cavalry, so naturally he was becoming more and more invincible, so he couldn't even hold the camp, and Ding Yuan gave up the pursuit after retreating thirty miles away. Dong Zhuo naturally camped on the spot in order to follow.
That night, Dong Zhuo convened everyone in the camp to discuss the matter, and as the history of Xiliang Thorn, he actually ended up in a situation where he retreated thirty miles and even lost his own camp, not to mention that Dong Zhuo had a violent temper, how could he bear it? After everyone arrived, Dong Zhuo didn't say much, and immediately asked, "What do you think should be done with Ding Jianyang?" None of the people present answered for a while, and then Li Ru said: "Today's defeat is mostly caused by Ding Jianyang's righteous son, and no one under the command of the father-in-law seems to be able to compete with him. ”
Dong Zhuo also sighed abruptly when he heard this: "I look at Lu Bu very well. If you can get this person, why worry about the world? Dong Zhuo said this very sadly, and he couldn't blame the soldiers under his command, these were all the old subordinates he brought from Xiliang, so naturally there would be no possibility of ineffective combat, but the reality was that no matter how hard his subordinates worked, they really had nothing to do with Lu Bu. As soon as Dong Zhuo's voice fell, someone said: "Don't worry, lord. A fellow villager with Lu Bu knew that he was brave but unscrupulous, and forgot his righteousness when he saw profit. With a three-inch incorruptible tongue, he said that Lu Bu came to surrender, but what? ”
Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. Just look at the person who speaks is Li Su, the general of the tiger Ben Zhonglang under his command. Immediately, Dong Zhuo frowned again and asked, "Is this true?" Even if it were, what would you say? Everyone in the tent also looked at Li Su, and Li Su just smiled indifferently and said, "I heard that the lord has a famous horse." It is called 'Red Rabbit', and travels thousands of miles a day. This horse is required. And with gold beads, that he might tie his heart. A certain change of words, Lu Bu will oppose Ding Yuan and come to vote for the lord. Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was a little reluctant, indeed as Li Su said, he did have a bloody horse named "Red Rabbit", but this horse was not easy to come by, not to mention that he was no one else, that is, he himself had never ridden. Now that he is about to give it away, Dong Zhuo is somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
What's more, what Li Su said was too simple, and Dong Zhuo really didn't have much confidence. At the moment of Dong Zhuo's hesitation, Li Su also stood without saying a word, as if he didn't care about Dong Zhuo's decision. But Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's thoughts, so he attached himself to Dong Zhuo's ear and said: "If the father-in-law really wants to take the world, why not do you care?" But how could this convince Dong Zhuo, he glared and whispered back, "Is it really true?" I don't seem to be absolutely sure of Li Su's strategy, and you know how much effort I put into finding Chitu, so I sent it away. ............"
Li Ru still doesn't know the careful thinking of his father-in-law, but he doesn't mean to blame, the so-called heroes are all in love with the sword, and Dong Zhuo, who was born in the frontier, is naturally not exempt from vulgarity. But this is obviously not the time for Dong Zhuo to satisfy his little selfishness. So Li Ru said: "Zhangren." Now in Luoyang, only Ding Yuan dares to call out, why do you rely on it? It's just Lu Bu, if the Zhangren can say that Lu Bu is serving the Zhangren, wouldn't it be an enhancement of the Zhangren's strength and a weakening of Ding Yuan's strength? And so it goes. Can a father-in-law cut love? ”
As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhuo naturally understood in his heart that Dong Zhuo was not stupid or stupid. The reason why he was a little hesitant was because he really liked Chitu very much, and he didn't care about any gold and silver jewelry at all. At this time, Li Ru explained to him, so Dong Zhuo immediately made a decision, he not only ordered Li Su to take away the red rabbit horse, but also ordered Li Su to bring a thousand taels of gold, dozens of pearls, and a jade belt to persuade Lu Bu to surrender. Dong Zhuo has definitely made a lot of money, not only handed over his beloved Red Rabbit Horse, but also invested a lot of money, and now he is just waiting to see if Li Su can persuade Lu Bu to surrender.
And Li Su carried these heavy gold and red rabbits to the camp where Lu Bu's department was stationed, of course, there would be no patrolling soldiers along the way, and only then did he get to Lu Buzhai ten miles before he was surrounded by ambushes, Li Su was not in a hurry, and casually took out a small piece of gold ingot from his arms and said to the leader of the soldiers: "Captain, can you pass on General Lu for me, and say that it is an old man who came to see me." "After that, Shi Ran stood in place, the leader of this leader naturally couldn't help but do things when he got the benefits, and he was rightly tight, whether this person was Lu Bu's old friend He didn't know anyway, even if Lu Bu killed this guy at that time, he would also get benefits, why not?
Besides, Lu Bu was training soldiers in the camp at this time, and he was naturally puzzled when he heard that an old man came to see him, but when people came to the door, Lu Bu naturally had no reason not to see the guest, so he temporarily put down his affairs and followed the sergeant to the gate of the camp to meet him.
And after Li Su saw Lu Bu, he was also Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said, "Brother Xian, don't come to harm?" Lu Bu is indeed extremely surprised, the so-called three happy events in life are among the old acquaintances, and now in Luoyang, an unfamiliar place, it is indeed very happy to meet the villagers, after Li Su greeted him, he also bowed and said: "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, where do you live now?" Li Su looked left and right, obviously there were some words that were not suitable to say at this time, and Lu Bu would also lead Li Su into his big tent.
When it was in Lu Bu's big tent, Li Su spoke: "I am now serving as the general of the tiger ben. Wen Xian's brother Kuang Fu Sheji, is overjoyed. There is a good horse, traveling thousands of miles a day, crossing the water and climbing the mountain, such as walking on the flat ground, the name is 'red rabbit'. Special dedication and virtuous brother to help the tiger. Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this: "I don't know where the 'Red Rabbit' is now?" Li Su smiled and said, "It's the horse I brought." Lu Bu hurriedly went out of the tent to look, and saw that the red rabbit horse was covered in charcoal, and there was no half of the miscellaneous hair; From head to tail, one zhang long; From hoof to neck, eight feet high; Screaming and roaring, it looks like it has soared into the sea. Lu Bu is knowledgeable, and he immediately knew that this was indeed a good horse, so he turned around and thanked Li Su.
Where is Li Su willing to answer? Then he helped Lu Bu and said, "What does this mean by Brother Xian?" I have come for righteousness, and how can I expect to repay it? Hearing Li Su's words, Lu Bu also got up splendidly, and immediately asked his men to prepare a banquet to entertain Li Su. At this time, Lu Bu didn't know that what happened next would change his life. When the wine was half-drunk, Li Su suddenly spoke: "Su and the virtuous brother rarely see each other; Ling Zun often comes. Lu Bu couldn't help but be a little confused when he heard this. Then he said: "Brother is not drunk!" My father has been dead for many years, and I have to meet my brother? ”
Li Su smiled when he heard this: "How can these cups of yellow soup get drunk?" I'm not talking about Brother Xian's biological father. It's a history of thorns. When Lu Bu heard this, his face was even more anxious and said: "Brother, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, I'm working for Ding Jianyang today." It's a helpless move. When Li Su heard this, he knew that Lu Bu had already taken the bait, so he didn't show his intentions at the moment, but said with a surprised face: "Brother Xian has the talent to control the sea in the sky, who is not admired by the four seas?" Fame and wealth, such as exploring the bag to get things, how can you say helplessly? Lu Bu was naturally a little drunk after drinking a few glasses of wine at this time, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, so he came out and debuted: "Brother doesn't know, Ding Yuan is not a good master, and I am also a non-person!" ”
Li Su was even more overjoyed in his heart, since Lu Bu said this, it meant that he had already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Ding Yuan. So Li Su immediately answered: "Virtuous brother, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the master to do things. It's not too early to see the opportunity, and it's too late to regret it. He looked up at Li Su and asked, "Since my brother is an official in the imperial court, he must have seen a lot of knowledge, who can be a hero in the world now?" ”
When Li Su heard this, he knew that the opportunity he wanted had come, so he replied categorically: "A certain number of ministers are not as good as Dong Zhuo." Dong Zhuo is a respectful and virtuous person. The rewards and punishments are clear, and great things will be accomplished. After saying that, Li Su carefully observed Lu Bu's reaction, and saw that Lu Bu seemed to hesitate and asked again: "What is it inconvenient for Brother Xian to talk about?" But Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Brother doesn't know, a few days ago, I was ordered by Ding Jianyang to lead my troops to Luoyang, and I saw Dong Zhuo outside the city. At that time, I thought that this person was a character, but unfortunately there was no way to do it, and now my identity is quite embarrassing. This is the time to worry. ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Su was even more hazard, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence." After that, he took out the gold beads and jade belts and listed them in front of Lu Bu's eyes and said: "It's not a secret, being a brother is serving under Dong Gong." Today's trip is Dong Gong's long-admired name, and I am specially ordered to dedicate this. The red rabbit horse is also a gift from Dong Gong. Lu Bu showed a sudden look on his face, and then said: "Thank you for being so kind to Dong Gong." How should Lu Bu repay him? Li Su waved his hand and said, "Why should the virtuous brother be careless? is as talented as his brother, and he still has to be a tiger general; If the virtuous brother goes to Dong Gong's place, it must be unspeakably expensive! Lu Bu was naturally extremely moved by what he said, but at the same time, he was also worried: "I only hate the merit of no trickle, and I think it is a gift to see you." Why did my brother teach me? Li Su chuckled and said: "The credit is in the hand, but I am afraid that the virtuous brother will not be willing to do it." ”
Lu Bu also immediately understood what Li Su was referring to, but this was not a trivial matter, he pondered for a long time before his face turned ruthless: "I want to kill Ding Yuan, and then lead my troops to obey Dong Gong, what does my brother think?" Li Su naturally had no reason to object, so he said: "If the virtuous brother can do this, it will be a great achievement!" But without further ado, it's about quick fixes! Lu Bu then made an appointment with Li Su and sent Li Su away.
But where can Lu Bu be calm in his heart? Ding Yuan said that he is also his nominal father-in-law of Lu Bu, although Ding Yuan has always treated him like a little servant in the family, but in front of the name, Lu Bu is indeed a little tricky, but these are the temptations of Li Su's big cake drawn for him after all, Lu Bu finally made a decision, he wanted to assassinate Ding Yuan!
At this time, Ding Yuan was still thinking about how to deal with Dong Zhuo, but before he fell asleep, when he saw Lu Bu coming, he raised his head and asked, "What happened to my son?" It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Lu Bu's originally struggling heart instantly firmed, so Lu Bu categorically shouted: "I, Lu Bu, am a dignified husband, can An be able to stoop to be your son?" Ding Yuan naturally didn't know what to say when he heard this, so he stood up and asked, "Why did Feng Xian's heart change?" Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "Why did you say that your heart has changed? Ding Jianyang, how do you treat me and everyone in the state is obvious to all, but now you still think of yourself as my father? Without waiting for Ding Yuan's answer, he drew his knife and straightened up, and immediately cut off Ding Yuan's head.
After killing Ding Yuan, Lu Bu shouted for Ding Yuan's head: "Ding Yuan is unkind, I have killed him." Those who are willing to follow me are here, and those who do not follow will go by themselves! "The soldiers and soldiers in Bingzhou were all brought out by Ding Yuan's practice, so naturally he refused to give orders for Lu Bu, he wanted to avenge Ding Yuan, but he was afraid of Lu Bu's power, so most of them dispersed, and Lu Bu did not stop him, to put it bluntly, he killed Ding Yuan after all. Naturally, I won't embarrass these soldiers much.
On the first day, Lu Bu led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to Dong Zhuo's camp with Ding Yuan's head, and Li Su was already waiting five miles outside the camp. When he saw Li Su, the head of Ding Yuan, he said: "The virtuous brother has made a great contribution, and Dong Gong will be rewarded!" So they went on horseback. After arriving in Dong Zhuo's camp, Lu Bu settled down and then went to meet Dong Zhuo under the guidance of Li Su. Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed when he saw Lu Bu, and even said: "Zhuo Jinde is a general, like a dry seedling, it is like a rain!" When Lu Bu heard this, he naturally benefited from it, so he knelt down and said: "If the public does not give up, please worship as a righteous father!" Dong Zhuo naturally has no reason not to allow it, but Li Ru on the side is already uneasy, this Lu Bu just killed his father-in-law and turned his head and recognized his father-in-law as his father-in-law, I'm afraid it's not a good sign, but Dong Zhuo is on the rise at this time, he naturally said a lot of things to discourage him, but he already has a heart in his heart.
And as soon as Ding Yuan died, Dong Zhuo naturally became bigger. And there is no one in Luoyang who can compete with Dong Zhuo, and within a few days Dong Zhuo has been in power alone, and after taking power, Dong Zhuo will lead the former general military, and his brother Dong Min will be the general of the left, the marquis of Hu, and the commander of Lu Bu will be the commander of the cavalry, the general of Zhonglang, and the marquis of Duting. At this time, Dong Zhuo was already a little flustered, and Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo again: "The matter of abolishing the establishment should be sooner rather than later, and now that the father-in-law has enough power, why not make a decision early?" ”
But Dong Zhuo almost forgot that he still had this plan. Li Ru reminded him that he seemed to have this plan, so on the second day, he set up a banquet in the palace to convene hundreds of officials and ministers to discuss matters, and even ordered Lu Bu to lead a soldier to stand outside the palace as a guard. Dong Zhuo summoned everyone to naturally dare not disobey, so he went to Dong Zhuo's mansion for a banquet under the leadership of Taifu Yuan Kui.
After everyone arrived, they first found rules for drinking and eating. After a few rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo suddenly got up and said: "Now His Majesty is weak, and it is not enough to worship the temple; I will follow the story of Yiyin and Huo Guang and abolish the emperor as the king of Hongnong. Establish Chen Liuwang as emperor. There are disobedient slashes! After that, he held the sword with his hand, and obviously he was about to draw the sword and kill if he didn't agree with him. The ministers and ministers naturally did not dare to speak out, but one person at the banquet stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a few years. There is nothing unscrupulous about morality; Dong Zhuo, if you want to abolish your grandson, why not? Dong Zhuo saw that this person was Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili and the captain of Xiyuan.
Dong Zhuo then angrily drew his sword and said, "Today's things are all in my thoughts!" I want to do it now, who dares to disobey! Do you not think my sword is against me? What he said was that the momentum was compelling, but Yuan Shao was not to be outdone, and pulled out the sword at his waist and said: "Your sword is sharp, my sword is not disadvantaged!" ”
So one person confronted each other like this under the previous person, all of them looked at each other angrily, and they didn't give up the slightest momentum. The hundred officials and ministers did not dare to speak, Dong Zhuo was about to call Lu Bu to enter and kill Yuan Shao, Li Ru on the side pulled Dong Zhuo's sleeve, Dong Zhuo looked back and only heard Li Ru whisper: "Zhangren, now the matter is uncertain, you can't kill in vain, otherwise it will inevitably change!" Taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's hesitation, Yuan Shao slowly withdrew with his sword across his chest, and no one stopped him for a while.
And after Yuan Shao withdrew, Dong Zhuo had to give up the idea of capturing and killing Yuan Shao, and turned his head to Yuan Kui and said: "Taifu, your nephew is rude, I will forgive him for the sake of you." What is the matter of the abolition of the establishment now? The threat in his words was self-evident, and Yuan Kui naturally didn't dare to refuse, so he had to answer: "What Dong Gong said is very true, and Ciyang has no opinion. Dong Zhuo saw that Yuan Kui had already relented, so he turned his head and said sharply to the ministers in the hall: "But those who dare to obstruct the big discussion will be engaged in military law!" ”
Where do the ministers dare to say half a sentence, it is naturally a sentence of "listen to the order". When the goal was achieved, Dong Zhuo naturally ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and then left Zhou Yu and Captain Wu Qiong and asked, "Where is Yuan Shao now?" Wu Qiong replied: "Yuan Shao has fled from the east gate, and seems to be heading to Jizhou. Dong Zhuo frowned when he heard this: "How to deal with it?" When Zhou Bi heard this, he replied: "Yuan Shao is angry, if he is in a hurry, it will inevitably change." And Yuan's Shuen IV, protégés and former officials are all over the world; If the heroes are collected to gather the disciples, the heroes will rise because of it, and Shandong is not public. It's better to forgive it, worship it as a county guard, then Shao is happy to be exempt from sin, and there will be no trouble! If Li Ru heard this, he would immediately know that Zhou Yu was doing this to save Yuan Shao's life, but Dong Zhuo didn't realize this, and Wu Qiong added another sentence: "Yuan Shao is scheming and indecisive, so don't worry; It is better to add a county guard to win the hearts of the people. ”
Dong Zhuo thought about it, but it also made sense, the Yuan family is quite famous, and now Yuan Shao offended himself not only has not been condemned but also has an official position, which can show his magnanimous side, Dong Zhuo thinks about it, but it is also reasonable, the Yuan family is quite famous, and now Yuan Shao has offended himself not only has not been condemned but is also an official position, which can show his magnanimous side, and the protégés of the Yuan family are indeed all over the world, it is difficult to say what kind of big trouble will be caused if Yuan Shao is killed, so Dong Zhuo ordered to worship Yuan Shao as the Bohai Taishou.
And at this time, Xu Ji has also returned to his own territory, Yu County! (To be continued......)
