Chapter 284: The Death of He Miao (I)
Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still the face in the court, Jia Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Dong Zhuo's face softened a lot, followed by daxiao, passing by a restaurant in the city, the two got off the horse and entered, all the guests who did not finish eating in the restaurant were dispersed by the entourage of the two, the shopkeeper of the restaurant had the heart to step forward and scold, after seeing Dong Zhuo's face clearly, he suddenly turned happy, Dong Zhuo Jia Rong will attract much attention when he enters the city, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant has a relationship and wrote it down.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant kept slapping his whiskers behind the two, and Jia Rong said impatiently: "Bring the most haode food and the most haode wine." ”
The shopkeeper leaned over and hurried away after agreeing to the promise, this is just a small restaurant, how can you usually see any dignitaries, but some people in the market came to eat and drink, at first glance saw Jia Rong Dong Zhuo and such an official, naturally overjoyed.
The two chatted a lot about the situation in the court in the restaurant, and now the biggest obstacle is the military power in the hands of the family and the army in the hands of He Miao, as long as these two things are settled, there will be basically no difficulties, and there will be no situation like today, both of them know it.
Dong Zhuo said: "He Miao will be handed over to me, and the affairs of the Xiyuan Army will be handed over to Zhiyuan, I hope that next time in the court, no one will dare to make accusations, hahaha......"
Jia Rong smiled: "Do your best." ”
"Are we in a bit of a hurry?" Jia Rong picked up the wine cup and asked lightly.
Dong Zhuo said: "But it's a little anxious, it seems that the time has not yet come, today the court let those rotten Confucian jokes for nothing, it's a little angry to think about it, but since you have turned your face, there is no way back, does Zhiyuan regret it?" ”
Jia Rong daxiao said: "The general's words are wrong, those rotten Confucians in the court can't wait to cramp and peel their skin when they see me, and I am still waiting for the officials in the court to be submissive. ”
Dong Zhuo understood and let out a burst of cheerful daxiao.
After the two separated, Jia Rong immediately rushed to the military camp in the city, at this extraordinary time, it was the safest in the army, with three thousand cavalry guards, it was completely possible to walk sideways in Luoyang City, and living in the Hero Building was just a cover for Jia Rong.
In the evening of that night, the closed gate of the General's Mansion opened a thin slit, and a black shadow rushed out of it, heading straight for the military camp in the city.
"General Qiyu, there is a person who claims to be a captain of the Northern Military Academy who has come to ask for a meeting." The herald went inside and knelt down on one knee in worship.
Dong Zhuo let out a faint "oh", the five schools of the Northern Army, each of them are big officials with a rank of more than two thousand stones, and they are not necessarily worse than themselves, and they are not ordinary people.
"Let him in."
After the tea, a general was led by the herald to the position of the Chinese army.
The general was also interested, and after seeing Dong Zhuo, he saluted respectfully and said, "Infantry Captain Wu Kuang pays a visit to your lordship." "As the name suggests, the infantry captain is in charge of the infantry.
Dong Zhuo saw that Wu Kuang was quite polite, and nodded with satisfaction, and now he is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, maybe a soldier guarding the city gate is a relative of a minister, and a state pastor must be careful when he arrives here, I haven't seen Wu Kuang for a long time, Dong Zhuo is in a good mood, who doesn't want to listen to more good words.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Wu Kuang bowed his hand again: "The former general He Jin is known and used well, and his prestige in the army is quite high, but he was unexpectedly tried by the eunuchs in the palace, which is really the misfortune of the country. ”
Dong Zhuo continued to listen to Wu Kuang's chatter patiently.
"After the death of his brother, the general He Miao not only did not want to avenge it, but sang in the house night and night, and once suspected that the death of the former general had a great relationship with He Miao, and the discord between the two brothers was nothing new in Luoyang, after the death of the general, our generals repeatedly asked He Miao to lead everyone to avenge the general, who expected that He Miao not only did not allow, but also demoted several generals who admonished."
Wu Kuang cleared his throat and continued: "Finally, one night, the lowly official accidentally heard the discussion of several maids in He Miao's mansion and understood the truth of the matter, it turned out that He Miao, a traitor, had fornicated with the eunuch, which led to the death of the general in the palace. ”
Wu Kuangsheng bowed to the ground with tears in his eyes: "I hope the general can avenge the general." ”
Dong Zhuo listened to what Wu Kuang said, his face showed a contemplative expression, just based on Wu Kuang's words, it was difficult to determine that it was He Miao who killed He Jin, after all, he listened to what the maid in the house said, but at such an extraordinary moment, a small fuse is enough to affect the situation in the entire Luoyang, if Dong Zhuo doesn't understand it, then it is really stupid.
He Miao repeatedly reprimanded him in the court, and Dong Zhuo had already hated him in his heart.
It was also Wu Kuang who received his favor during He Jin's lifetime, otherwise he would not be one of the five schools of the Northern Army, after He Jin's death, He Miao became a general, and Wu Kuang naturally came under his command, but He Miao was not used to Wu Kuang's actions, and repeatedly suppressed, Wu Kuang was not angry, after learning that Dong Zhuo and He Miao were not in harmony, he immediately came to show his loyalty, Dong Zhuo led the cavalry into the city that day, and the majestic appearance outside the city was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"It's nonsense, how can the general be criticized by a small lieutenant, if these words reach the ears of the general, you will definitely beg for death." Dong Zhuo said in a fierce voice.
Wu Kuanghe had been intimidated like this, and immediately bowed to the ground, not daring to say a word, sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was secretly happy in his heart, Wu Kuang's incompetent performance just showed that this person was easy to control, and with a little use, it would be easier to take over and the people under He Miao's command at that time.
"But the general has the grace of promotion to me, and it is not clear that he can't die, this matter must be investigated, even He Miao can't." Dong Zhuo said in a changed tone.
Wu Kuang couldn't understand the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words, so he got up and said: "What the general said is very true, and you must check it carefully." ”
Dong Zhuo stared at Wu Kuang with blazing eyes and said, "How many soldiers and horses do He Miao still have, where are they placed, and how many soldiers and horses are guarding He Mansion." ”
Wu Kuang pondered for a while and said: "There are about more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in He Miao's hands, placed in the school field next to Nangong, there are about 1,000 cavalry, well-equipped, there are no soldiers on the He Mansion, only some family members and the like, about 1,000 people. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "You go back immediately now, mobilize the soldiers who are loyal to you, I will also gather all the people and horses, gather in He Mansion, and in the army, you must publicize more He Miao is fornication with the eunuch to kill He Jin, after the matter is completed, there will be a lot of rewards." ”
Wu Kuang's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and retreated.
After Wu Kuangyuan left, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "He Miao, He Miao, it seems that your death time has come." Thinking of the Xiliang Army in the city, Dong Zhuo's mouth showed an undetectable smile, taking over the soldiers under the command of He Miao, Dong Zhuo's strength will improve in a short period of time, and when the time comes, the Xiliang Army will not have to look at his own face to act, that is, whoever has the biggest fist will have the final say.
In order to ensure that things were foolproof, Dong Zhuo ordered a thousand elite cavalry in the Qi army to march in the direction of He Mansion after half an hour.
Thousands of soldiers had already gathered outside the gate of He Mansion, and the leader was Wu Kuang, who looked at He Mansion one by one with righteous indignation, just waiting for the general's order.
Dong Zhuo walked in front and said loudly: "He Miao fornicated with the eunuch and killed the general, this crime should be punished." ”
Wu Kuang raised the sword in his hand and roared: "Be punished, punished." ”
More than 2,000 soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the people in He Mansion had already learned the news, and quickly passed it to He Miao, who had not long returned to the house, at this time, He Miao was holding a banquet in the mansion.
Now He Miao is a general and has the right to open a mansion alone, while He Miao is adhering to the good habits of the past and continues to live a life of wine and meat.
After hearing the movement outside the mansion gate, He Miao suddenly panicked, the mansion was besieged, and the first thought was to escape, when he heard that it was Dong Zhuo who led the army, He Miao was even more ownerless, and immediately said: "Dong Zhuo's thief is powerful, what should you do in your opinion?" ”
A cadre of staff in the General's Mansion usually drinks and walks around, but when they really encounter something, they all lose their opinions, their faces are pale, and many officials even look in the direction of the door, and there is a great sense of escape.
He Miao said angrily: "A group of waste, what do you usually raise, but at the critical moment, they all became dumb." ”
Many officials at the banquet looked at He Miao with dissatisfaction, and a staff member stepped forward confidently and said: "Don't worry, general, when today's son is the general's nephew, forgive Dong Zhuoan for daring to break into the general's mansion, not to mention that the general still has tens of thousands of southern troops in his hands, why not be afraid of a little Dong Zhuo." ”
He Miao was relieved when he heard this, and said happily: "Very good, very good, send someone to the palace immediately to inform the saint, just say that Dong Zhuo led the soldiers to surround the general's mansion, and sent someone to the southern army to mobilize people and horses, and be sure to kill all these rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
The officials at the banquet said in unison: "The general is wise. ”
He Miao picked up the wine cup and said: "Wait a minute, see how Dong Zhuo, an ignorant martial artist, begged for mercy, if you want to be arrogant in Beijing, don't look at what place this is, even a tiger has to lie down for me." ”
Everyone at the banquet responded, and many officials even figured out how to rectify Dong Zhuo.
After about a cup of tea, the head of the mansion broke into the room where He Miao was, and said loudly: "It's not good, it's not good." ”
He Miao said with an unkind face: "What's wrong, panic, what kind of system." ”
The head of the mansion didn't care about He Miao's reproach, and said breathlessly: "Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to surround the general's mansion, and now there are dense cavalry everywhere outside the door, and the family member who was sent out to report the news just now was killed on the spot. ”
