Chapter 104, the assassination failed

Zhang Yuanshen thought so, but still said: "There are only a few people who are as observant as the general." ”

"Don't talk about that." Zu Zhao waved his hand, he couldn't miss a big deal!

"General, do you want to rush out of the city and kill that Li Su?" Zhang Yuan asked at this time.

"Of course, isn't that what the two of us are ambushing here for?" Saying that he rushed out of the sword with his hand, Zhang Yuan held up his gun and followed closely. When the sergeant saw that it was Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan, he hurriedly stopped and asked when it was.

Zu Zhao asked, "Who is it at this time?" ”

The soldier replied, "It's Dong Zhuo's man, who was caught by us and was about to be escorted to General Lu." ”

Zu Zhao said: "General Lu has already fallen asleep. This person will not do anything good if he comes here late at night, and he is a local general, so he will directly push out of Lu and kill him. ”

"This?" The soldier looked at Zu Zhao suspiciously, and then looked at Li Su, not knowing what to do.

Li Su said: "I am just a messenger, the two armies intersect, do not kill the envoy, you will kill me like this, what is the intention?" ”

Zu Zhao stepped forward and opened the box that Li Su was carrying, only to see that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and a horse behind him, all red, unusually strong and fierce, Zu Zhao knew that this was the red rabbit horse of the red rabbit in the horse, and he liked it very much, and he couldn't wait to ride away directly. However, he still controlled his emotions and said: "You came in the middle of the night with so many things, and you brought this one-in-a-kind BMW, what are your intentions, do you want to come and separate us?" ”

When Li Su heard this, he trembled, he had heard that this ancestor Zhao was a little unbearable, but he didn't want to be so good, and he actually broke the purpose of his coming here with one word. However, Li Su is not a small person, but he has excellent psychological quality, Ha Luha smiled, and said: "How the early ancestor Liechen loves how to predict the prophet, I can't imagine that he is also a villain who is jealous of the virtuous and capable." ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he was immediately furious, pointed a gun at Li Su and said, "Hugh has to be disrespectful, believe it or not, I will shoot you to death?" ”

Li Su smiled and said: "You are the X general next to Zu Liechen, Zhang Yuan, who is known as the first tiger in Liaodong, right?" I know that you are brave, and it is not difficult to kill me Li Su, but compared to Lu Fengxian, you are only afraid that you will not be able to fight him for twenty rounds, so you are so afraid that I am here to lobby him, right? ”

Zhang Yuan said angrily: "I, Zhang Wenyuan, have been afraid of anyone, I will take your life first now." "As he spoke, he was about to shoot out.

At this time, someone said loudly behind him: "At this time, who is shouting in front of my camp to kill, don't die?" Everyone looked back and saw that the man was wearing a golden crown, a hundred flowers robe, Tang Yi armor, a lion treasure belt, and a Fang Tian halberd in his hand, standing at the door majestically, glaring angrily.

When Zu Zhao saw it, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and secretly gave Zhang Yuan a look and asked him to do it. Zhang Yuan understood, a shot was about to be stabbed out again, who wanted to hear only a string sound, and the arrow flew in front of Zhang Yuan's head, hitting his gun barrel and inserting it directly into it.

Zhang Yuan was startled, turned his head to look, but saw Lu Bu pulling the bow with an arrow, and an arrow was about to shoot out again. Zu Zhao saw that the situation was not good, and immediately asked Zhang Yuan to stop, now that the two of them are here alone, if Lu Bu is provoked, it is inevitable that his life will be lost.

Lu Bu put away his bow and arrows, slowly came to Zu Zhao and them, and said to Zu Zhao: "Brother Liechen, why are you here?" ”

Zu Zhao was stunned for a moment and said: "I was bored, wandering around, and I saw someone sneaking towards the barracks, so I followed." Seeing that it turned out to be Dong Zhuo's thief, he knew that Lu Dao would not have any good intentions, so he wanted to kill him directly, not wanting to alarm the general. ”

Zu Zhao glanced at Li Su and said: "He was originally my friend, he grew up together, but now he is his own master, come here at this moment, kill him without asking the reason, I'm afraid the world will not accept it." ”

Li Su was already excited when he saw Lu Bu, and now when he heard Lu Bu say this, he immediately said: "Brother Xian and I didn't want to see each other for a long time, but now I know that he is here, and he deliberately came to visit at night, just to avoid everyone so that no one will gossip, I never thought that someone would gossip." Virtuous brother, I have come to see you kindly, you have to make decisions for me. ”

Lu Buzuo said: "Brother, don't worry, Brother Liechen is not killing innocent people indiscriminately, he is just thinking about the army." He can't be blamed for that. "Lu Bu also left Zu Zhao a step down.

Zu Zhao heard it in his ears, and he was shocked in his heart, and said that this Lu Bu didn't have any brains, but he didn't expect to be so good at looking at problems, but the problem he saw was wrong, but he finally gave himself a step down, smiled, and said: "In the end, he is here to explore you or what, you will know later." Brother Fengxian, then I won't bother you, and I will take my leave first. ”

Lu Bu said: "I have guests coming from afar, so I won't be far away." ”

Zu Zhao smiled and immediately took Zhang Yuan to the camp, while Lu Bu welcomed Li Su in. After leaving Lu Bu's camp, Zhang Yuan asked, "General, what should we do now?" Then Li Su came with such a valuable thing, obviously to buy people's hearts, why didn't Lu Fengxian know the way? ”

Zu Zhao said: "Li Su originally came to buy Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was originally a brave and unscrupulous person, it seems that he will definitely be bought." ”

"So what do we do now?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Zu Zhao sighed and said, "Let's go see Ding Yuan now, tell him about Lu Bu who will be bribed, and let him be careful himself, Lu Bu is likely to kill him." ”

Zhang Yuan was shocked: "General, this is impossible, Lord Ding is Lu Bu's father-in-law, how could he do this thing that heaven and earth do not tolerate to kill his father?" ”

Zu Zhao said very calmly: "It is said that Lu Bu is a person who forgets his righteousness, and now Li Su buys him with such a valuable thing, if he is bought, he can't just go to see Dong Zhuo empty-handed, then for Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan's head is the biggest gift, so that Dong Zhuo can get rid of Ding Jianyang, the thorn in his eye, and he can also verify whether Lu Bu really has the heart of obedience." Li Su is eloquent, and he will definitely let Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan. We are alone in Luoyang now, and we can't do anything, we can only persuade Ding Yuan as much as we can. ”

"If that's the case, then why don't we protect Lord Ding?" Zhang Yuan still didn't give up, his impression of Ding Yuan was still good.

Zu Zhao shook his head and said, "You and Lu Fengxian may not be able to distinguish between us and the enemy in a fight, but what if someone else comes with Lu Bu?" Then we won't be able to defeat them, so if we want to protect Ding Yuan, no one can save him unless he is willing to leave Luoyang with us. ”

Zhang Yuan sighed, and said with a sad expression in his mouth, I hope Ding Yuan can follow them out of Luoyang. The two arrived at Ding Yuan's house and told him that now that Li Su had come to Lu Bu's military camp with valuable belongings, he must have come to buy Lu Bu and let Ding Yuan leave with them, in case Lu Bu was not good for Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan looked at Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan suspiciously, and said, "Liechen, I know that you are loyal to Lie. But Feng Xian is my adopted son, he will never oppose me, even if he really wants to take refuge in Dong Zhuo, he will not kill me. At this time, it is when I see a person clearly, I know that you are thinking about me, but you think about it, if you are loyal to him first, and I am afraid that he will rebel against me and follow you, it will seem that I am sorry for him, and I want to throw him to Dong Zhuo's old thief. Liechen, you should still leave, as for my life, it depends on the sky, if the sky wants me Ding Jianyang to die, then I will die even if I flee to the ends of the earth. ”

Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan persuaded for a while, but Ding Yuan just didn't listen, he was still willing to believe that Lu Bu would not oppose him, and it was still that set of theories, that is, Lu Bu was against him, and he didn't necessarily want to die, if he really wanted to die, then it was also the destiny of heaven, and he couldn't complain, and now in troubled times, someone must shed blood and sacrifice, so that more loyal and brave people can rise up to resist and thieves and traitors, so as to return the Han Dynasty to a stable place.

In the end, Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan could only sigh and leave. On the way, Zu Zhao said to Zhang Yuan that if Dong Zhuo left and got Lu Bu, then he would enter the palace, and he would naturally offend more people in the future, just like Yuan Shao and others would also hate Dong Zhuo, and eventually all the princes of the world would crusade against Dong Zhuo, this was a good time for them to develop their strength, let Zhang Yuan go back to Liaodong first to inform Su De and others to do a good job, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of the public prosecution degree, and completely occupy Liaodong County and Liaoxi County.

Zhang Yuan was a little worried about Zu Zhao, and said, "General, after I go back, who will protect you?" ”

Zu Zhao said: "I still have a little matter, and I will not be in danger. You go back first, get them ready, and remember, this must not be leaked. ”

In the end, Zhang Yuan listened to Zu Zhao's words and arranged for Liaodong alone. After Zhang Yuan left, Zu Zhao came to Cao Cao, he knew that the next thing was to see Chen Gong, he could not have a fierce general like Lu Bu, but he could not have a strategist like Chen Gong, history has recorded, Chen Gong, his strength is not under Zhuge Liang, but history does not have much space for him to play. In the future, Chen Youzhi will guard Liaoxi and even the entire Liaodong, and Su De must also ensure that everything runs in an orderly manner in the rear, so when he leads the army to the expedition, he needs a capable military, and this person is Chen Gong.

Cao Cao was also very happy when he saw Zu Zhao coming, and left him at home. Zu Zhao talked about the fact that he and Ding Yuan were against Dong Zhuo together, Cao Cao listened, clapped his hands carefully, and said that Zu Zhao is the hero of the world, he is really a loyal and brave person, and he can't wait to eat Dong Zhuo's meat and drink Dong Zhuo's blood, but there is no way to kill Dong Zhuo.

Zu Zhao said: "Now Dong Zhuo is outside the city with a large army, no one can resist, to kill Dong Zhuo, it is not an overnight thing, you have to think in the long run." Cao Cao listened and hurriedly asked what to do. Zu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no plan, it's just that I want to wronged Brother Meng De, and it may be a little dangerous." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "If you can get rid of Dong Zhuo, a wicked person, why be afraid of death." Brother Liechen and Xian, hurry up and tell me what the plan is. ”

Zu Zhao thought in his heart, although this Cao Cao, although he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes the day after tomorrow, but under his rule, the north was also stable and prosperous, and he had some talents, and although he controlled the Son of Heaven, he did not do anything wrong, but only killed a few people who were not convinced by him. As far as the current situation is concerned, Cao Cao is still loyal to Han.

"Now Dong Zhuo will definitely hold a grudge against me, then brother, you can go and inform Dong Zhuo, saying that I have come to you to take you in, saying that I am in your house, let them bring someone to arrest me, so that you can gain Dong Zhuo's trust, and when you have the opportunity, you can get rid of him with the outside world, what do you think?" Zu Zhao said.

Cao Cao listened and nodded slightly, but said with some worry: "But this is to put you in danger, so as not to harm you." ”

Zu Zhao smiled: "I have my own hiding place in Luoyang. Brother, you are not afraid of death, how can my ancestor Zhao be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, we are all for the sake of the Han, a little danger is nothing. ”

Cao Cao also smiled and said: "Brother Xian is really a loyal and brave person, it is not an exaggeration for Lord Lu to give you the word loyalty." Then, Brother Xian found a place to hide, and I immediately went to inform Dong Zhuo. But you have to tell me first whether you are hiding in Luoyang East or Luoyang West, so I will take them to chase them in the opposite direction. ”

Zu Zhao secretly thought to himself, Cao Cao would not betray himself, even if he really wanted to betray himself, he would never be caught, this Luoyang was full of his own spy troops, he wanted to hide, no one wanted to find it, so he said that he wanted to hide in the east of Luoyang. Cao Cao nodded, saying that he would definitely guide this Dong Zhuo's army to the west.

Early the next morning, sure enough, there was news that Lu Bu had killed Ding Yuan's head Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was very impressed by Zu Zhao's ability to be a prophet, and last night Zu Zhao told him that Ding Yuan would be killed by Lu Bu, and he didn't believe it, and he didn't think it was like this. This made him trust Zu Zhao's ability even more. After Zu Zhao left, he immediately rode to see Dong Zhuo, saying that Zu Zhao had come to him last night, and in the morning he only wanted to murder Dong Zhuo, so he immediately came to report.

Dong Zhuo listened to Cao Cao's words and liked Cao Cao very much, and immediately named Cao Cao as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, and asked him and Li Ru to take an army to capture Zu Zhao. The two took the army to Cao Cao's house, but they didn't see Zu Zhao, and asked about the family, who said that after Cao Cao left in the morning, Zu Zhao immediately got up, didn't care about washing his face, and fled to the west in a panic.

"It's really a bad thing, last night I couldn't control my admiration for Lord Dong in my heart, and when I talked to Zu Zhao, I praised him, and when he got up in the morning and didn't see me, he suspected that I went to General Dong, so he fled. I heard that Zu Zhao has always been suspicious, and it seems to be true. Cao Cao sighed and said.

Li Ru listened and said: "Meng Dexiu wants to sigh, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape far, so we will chase him directly." As he spoke, he led the army to chase eastward, and naturally he couldn't even see the slightest shadow of Zu Zhao along the way.

Later, Dong Zhuo heard Li Ru talk about it, after knowing that Cao Cao praised him, he was even more happy in his heart, and kept Cao Cao by his side, he also knew that Cao Cao had some talent, and it was useful to stay by his side, Dong Zhuo asked Cao Cao: "The young emperor is incompetent, I want to abolish him and make King Chen the emperor, but the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are against me, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao said respectfully: "Since ancient times, the capable have lived in it, and the Gongming brothers are the public in the world, and they are aware of everything, and they oppose you, that is their ignorance." ”

Dong Zhuo listened, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Those who know me, Meng Deye." He praised Cao Cao again, and let people give Cao Cao a lot of rewards.

Let's say that Zu Zhao is hiding in a green building in Luoyang, people come and go, but no one notices him, there are often officials from the DPRK and China here to play, but they can get some information. After Dong Zhuo won Lu Bu, he convened the ministers again to discuss the abolition, Yuan Shao also stood up to oppose it, Dong Zhuo almost killed Yuan Shao, and was persuaded by Li Ru. Later, Yuan Shao left Luoyang and returned to Yizhou.

Zu Zhao has been hiding in Luoyang, and he has also learned from time to time about the affairs of Liaodong that there is nothing big about Liaodong, but Gongsun Du's little thief has real moves. Zu Zhao asked them to accommodate Gongsun Du first, and when he came back, they could get rid of Gongsun Du in one fell swoop.

But this has been waiting for a long time, and Luoyang has also undergone earth-shaking changes. In September, Dong Zhuoqiang abolished the young emperor, and King Li Chen became the emperor, and he proclaimed himself prime minister and entered the city with the army. Later, he killed the young emperor and the Tang concubine, and he was even more reckless, entering the palace every night to rape the palace maids, and killing the people indiscriminately outside, saying that it was his own military exploits, which made the people complain, and there were many loyal ministers such as Ding Guan Wufu who assassinated Dong Zhuo, but they were all successful, and they were finally killed by Dong Zhuo.

After Zu Zhao heard that Yuan Shao had left, Dong Zhuo deliberately named Yuan Shao as the Taishou of Bohai in order to keep Yuan Shao from rebelling, and Yuan Shao quickly developed tens of thousands of troops, and he was very angry when he heard that Dong Zhuo was so authoritarian. So Zu Zhao took the initiative to repair a letter, asking Yuan Shao to contact the loyal ministers to discuss the matter of getting rid of Dong Zhuo, he was the fourth and third dukes, and the ministers and princes would definitely cooperate with him and listen to his command.

After Yuan Shao received Zu Zhao's letter, he immediately wrote to contact many ministers of the court and other local princes and guards. After Wang Yun received Yuan Shao's letter, he was unable to think about it and did not dare to act to express his position, and one day, Wang Yun saw many old ministers in the guard cabinet, so he lied about his birthday and invited them to go to the house for a drink in the evening. Everyone agreed, and Zu Zhao also found Cao Cao and went with Cao Cao.

When I arrived at Wang Yun's house, I was surprised when I saw that Zu Zhao had also gone, and then I expressed a great welcome to Zu Zhao. Later, halfway through the wine, Wang Yun suddenly burst into tears. Everyone was shocked, saying that this was his birthday, why was he unhappy and cried instead, Wang Yun cried for a while, and said quietly: "Today is not my birthday, I just want to get together with all of you, but I am afraid that Dong Zhuo's thief will suspect and condemn him, so I used this excuse." Dong Zhuo deceived the boss to gain power, and the society was difficult to protect. wants Emperor Gao to punish Qin and destroy Chu, and this is the world; Who wants to pass it on to this day, but it is lost at the hands of Dong Zhuo, so I can't help but want to cry. After saying that, he cried again.

When the ministers heard Wang Yun's words, they couldn't help but burst into tears. Zu Zhao looked at those people, they all cried to death, and there was some pain in his heart, but he was helpless, he turned his head to look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't cry, but drank by himself. Zu Zhao asked softly: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are crying, why isn't my brother crying?" ”
