In the second year of the first peace, after the beginning of spring, several spring rains in succession made the land of Guanzhong gradually recover from the ice.

In the lonely wilderness, a little green appeared, dotted with a desolation, but it set off a different kind of vitality.

In the first month of the second year of the first peace, Cao Cao was appointed as the Taishou of Dongjun.

In this regard, Yuan Shao was furious and sent people to Dongwu Yangcheng to severely reprimand Cao Cao.

Dong Zhuo is a national thief, why did Meng De accept his appointment?

Cao Cao replied: I did not accept Dong Zhuo's appointment, but the appointment of the Son of Heaven, and the appointment of the imperial court has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo.

Unless, you Yuan Shao thinks, when today's son is not the son of heaven!

No matter how arrogant Yuan Shao was, he did not dare to deny the fact that Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Otherwise, his position as the Taishou of the Bohai Sea would be unjustifiable...... The envoy then returned to Bohai and informed Yuan Shao of Cao Cao's reply. Yuan Shao was very angry, but he had no choice but to watch Cao Cao enter Puyang on the second day of the second month of February and officially take over Dongjun. He had the intention to fight, but he couldn't spare his hand, because at this time, the skin between him and Han Fu had been completely torn, and a battle for control of Jizhou had begun.

And Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, did not say anything about Cao Cao taking over Dongjun.

The reason for the silence is the advice of Jibei Minister Bao Xin.

"Mengde is righteous, not the ambitious.

Otherwise, when the Yanshi princes stopped moving, he could have preserved his strength, but he led his troops to pursue, and almost the entire army was annihilated.

Now, although the Black Mountain thieves have been driven out, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is ready to move.

Meng De is good at fighting, and he has more elite soldiers and strong generals. If he takes over Dongjun, it will be like one more strong team in Yanzhou, why not? ”

Bao Xinqi is a person with a high prestige, and even Liu Dai is very respectful.

When he said this, Liu Dai was relieved.

If you think about it, this is indeed the case...... Qingzhou Yellow Turban remnants are known as millions of people, rampant in Qingzhou, no one can beat. Even Liu Dai was quite worried about this, fearing that one day the remnants of the Yellow Turban would fall under Yanzhou.

Cao Cao is indeed good at fighting, and having him guard Dongjun is indeed of great benefit to Yanzhou.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Dai decided to listen to Bao Xin's persuasion and did not comment on Cao Cao's taking over the post of Taishou of Dongjun.

Yuan Shao had no time to look south, Liu Dai ignored it, and Bao Xin supported Cao Cao even more.

In this way, the princes of other places did not say anything more, except for Yuan Shu, who was a little dissatisfied with Cao Cao getting the title of hereditary Marquis of Feiting, most of them remained silent, which can be regarded as acquiescing in the fact that Cao Cao became a prince......

It was in the same month that a major battle took place in Jingzhou.

Sun Jian clashed with the local scholars in Jingzhou, and both sides suffered heavy losses, and finally had to give up and make peace.

However, it was this great war that planted the seeds of hatred between the Jingzhou clan and Sun Jian. They wanted to expel Sun Jian, but they couldn't help him. As a result, the local scholars led by Cai Wei decided to unite with Liu Biao.

Cai Wei even married his daughter to Liu Biao to express the deep relationship between the two families.

As a result, Liu Biao gradually gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and his eyes were fixed on Sun Jian, who was entrenched in Changsha County.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the beginning of spring in the second year of the first peace, it was actually very lively.

Cao Cao took over Dongjun, Sun Jian went to war in Changsha, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu turned against each other......

But all these movements have no impact on Chang'an, which is far away in Guanzhong.

In mid-February, Dong Zhuo ordered Tang Ji, the princess of Hongnong, to be escorted out of Chang'an and to Huiji County to reunite with her father, Tang Mao.

For this reason, Tang Mao even performed in person to express his gratitude to Dong Zhuo.

After that, Dong Zhuo appointed Cai Yong again, hoping that he would be the Grand Sima, but Cai Yong politely refused.

He said to Dong Zhuo: "I have a bad temper and a straight personality, and it is easy to offend people.

The position of the Great Sima cannot be undertaken by a person of high moral character, and I really do not have this virtue. I now prefer to devote all my energy to the compilation of Hanshu. If the prime minister really values me, please allow me to go in and out of the two places of Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion, then for me, I am already satisfied, and I have no regrets. ”

Shiqu Pavilion and Tianlu Pavilion are both royal library pavilions.

After moving the capital from Luoyang, almost all the books in the Luoyang Royal Library were placed in these two places, and ordinary people could not get close to them at all.

Dong Zhuo felt helpless about this.

Why are all the people I value so high?

Cai Yong is like this, and Ding Chen is even more so......

Fortunately, Ding Chen was not like Cai Yong, but accepted Dong Zhuo's reward.

Dong Zhuo's reward for Ding Chen is very heavy!

Worship the tiger Ben Zhonglang general, Hucheng Pavilion waiting.

Hu Ben Zhonglang will be an official position of more than two thousand stones, and overall, it is not much different from Ding Chen's previous position as a cavalry captain, and it belongs to the same level. But their powers are vastly different. Riding a lieutenant is more of a fictitious position, with no real power.

From the previous Ding Chen was the cavalry captain, but in the Battle of Xingyang, he could only be the general Sima, ranked below Li Su, and saw some clues.

And General Tiger Ben Zhonglang is indeed a real official position, commanding 1,200 Tiger Benlang.

As for the title of Hucheng Pavilion Marquis, it was a kind of reward from Dong Zhuo to Ding Chen.

In Dong Zhuo's words, Ding Ziyang is a righteous man, a mere pavilion marquis, in addition to expressing my appreciation for him, it is also a reward for him to go out of the town and defeat the rebels before. Ding Chen's merit of beheading Qingshou and capturing Li Min alive has been rewarded with his request, but his contribution in Hucheng Pavilion cannot be ignored because of this.

This also shows Dong Zhuo's love for Ding Chen!

In this regard, no one in the Liangzhou army objected.

Even if it is Li Dao, although he hates Ding Chen to the core, he must admit Ding Chen's merits.

As for the side of the Bingzhou army, since Lu Bu did not make any movement, no one of them stood up to provoke.

In this way, Ding Chen almost had a smooth ride and ascended to the position of the general of the tiger ben.

"Ding Ziyang, what are you doing here?"

In the side room of the Hu Benlang Office, Jia Xu had a black face and glared at Ding Chen.

"I've already reminded you not to stay in Chang'an.

You let me go of what was supposed to be a great opportunity, and you still want to drag me into this troubled water...... What exactly do you mean? ”

Jia Xu had enough reason to be angry, because after Ding Chen accepted the position of General of Huben Zhonglang, he once again asked Jia Xu from Dong Zhuo to take the position of Huben Zhonglang, and also took charge of Huben Zhonglang on behalf of Ding Chen.

Tiger Ben Zhonglang General, under the jurisdiction of the Tiger Ben left and right office.

There is Hu Ben Zhonglang as the acting.

The left department is responsible for training soldiers and horses, and arranging guards to be on duty; The right department is responsible for the roster, baggage, grain and grass, and size matters. That is to say, the left and right offices of the tiger are in charge of civil and military affairs, and they control each other. Jia Xu's right signature Tiger Ben Zhonglang, rank ratio of 600 stones; and the left sign of the tiger Ben Zhonglang is undoubtedly taken over by Gao Shun, while Pang De and Hu Che'er are respectively Hu Ben Shilang.

Ding Chen's subordinates, one hundred and twenty-six people were selected as the Jiecong Tiger Ben.

After that, Ding Chen also asked Jia Qu from Zhang Liao to come over and serve as Zhonglang.

After the 800 traps were merged into the Tiger Benlang, another 400 people needed to be added to make up the quota of 1,200 people.

Someone has to be in charge of these many things.

In Ding Chen's eyes, Jia Xu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"Sir, I'm not angry, I don't have no choice, that's why I asked Mr. to help."

"You can't come to me if you can't do it, so who am I going to?"

Jia Xu pointed at Ding Chen, trembling with anger: "A certain is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, happy to be at ease."

You'd better find me, like an animal. I told you in Xingyang that I don't want to get involved anymore. But now, you have brought me here, and it is clear that I have become the target of public criticism. Do you know how many people in this Chang'an City want you to die? ”

"I know, I know!"

Ding Chen's attitude was excellent, and he had a flattering smile.

"But I also know that sir, you must not be willing to let me die."

"I can't wait for you to die soon."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jia Xu has always eaten soft rather than hard, if Ding Chen is a little tougher, maybe he will turn his head and leave.

But now, Ding Chen looked like a ruffian, and let him scold from noon to noon, and the smile on his face did not decrease at all.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, when he met such a guy, Jia Xu also felt quite helpless.

"Okay, if there's anything to do with me, just tell me directly."

Jia Xu sighed and said, "You are idle all day, but you make me very tired." That old man came to me all day long and asked me to fill in the manpower for him...... Moreover, it is also very demanding, you must have been on the battlefield, and you must be familiar with martial arts. That's it, but also a strong person. Where am I going to find so many people for him? For this reason, I almost ran all over the Liangzhou Army. ”

"Yes, yes, sir, hard work."

"Humph!"

Ding Chen said: "Actually, I came to Mr. to ask for advice, Wang Yunqi." ”

"Prince's Division?"

A gleam flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly up.

"Wang Yun was born in a family of eunuchs, and he was a county official at the age of nineteen, and he was promoted by Deng Sheng, the assassin of the state.

After the assassination of Yuzhou, he was impeached in the disaster of the party, and was forced to go to the official seclusion, until the sixth year of Zhongping, He Jin took power before he re-emerged, and successively engaged in Zhonglang and Henan Yin, and now he is an old minister in the court, quite prestigious. ”

Jia Xu's words are flat and stable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Ding Chen felt that there seemed to be something in Jia Xu's words.

He closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "What about Deng Sheng?" ”

Jia Xu showed a hint of appreciation, nodded and said: "During the third disaster of the party, I was killed by the ten permanent servants. ”

When he said this, he said softly: "I vaguely remember that when Wang Yun went to the official, he once said to his friend: If you return to the court one day, you will definitely return a good day." ”

Ding Chen is not stupid, and he immediately woke up.

This sentence sounds very ordinary, but it can also reveal Wang Yun's ambition.

In fact, he wants to control the dynasty......

He is a member of the party and considers himself the mainstay of the Han dynasty.

It's a pity that the party members suffered heavy casualties in the disaster of the party, and his vitality was greatly damaged, which also made him have a different idea?

Perhaps, no one can say for sure.

But he had already figured out the meaning of the Seven Treasure Knife that Cao Cao had left behind.

The Qibao knife was given by Wang Yun, and the knife was a murder weapon...... Cao Cao's meaning was actually to remind Ding Chen that he was just the knife in Wang Yun's hand.

When you think about it this way, many questions are easily solved.

Cao Cao may not approve of Dong Zhuo, but if you want to talk about assassination, it has not yet reached that point.

After all, when Dong Zhuo did the abolition of the Han Emperor, many ministers in the court also expressed their approval, which also showed one thing, that is, the abolition of the Han Emperor was not Dong Zhuo's wish alone, but someone else was fueling the trouble.

It's just that the person who jumped onto the table at that time was Yuan Kui!

According to Yuan Kui's ideas, after the abolition, they should have controlled the Han Emperor.

But Dong Zhuo is strong, and there is a unique brute from the border wilderness in his bones, which makes the Han Emperor finally control him.

In this way, Yuan Kui and these people naturally refused to give up.

They want to control the temple, and the only way is to kill Dong Zhuo.

Everyone knows that killing Dong Zhuo is a very dangerous thing...... So at this time, Cao Cao, who had always been eager to be recognized by the party, came into their sight. Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was a eunuch. And although his father Cao Song was a captain, he bought it with money. Because of this, although Cao Cao worked hard, he was never recognized by them.

Now, they needed Cao Cao to risk his assassination, so they wooed him.

And Cao Cao himself didn't know the danger of assassinating Dong Zhuo?

But in Luoyang, he has no room for resistance at all, and if he doesn't agree, he is afraid that he will face retaliation from the party next.

At that time, he had no soldiers and no power, and he had a little reputation, but he was useless.

He also couldn't send his wife away secretly, because he knew that his every move was being watched by the party......

Therefore, in the end, he only left the Qibao Sword to Ding Chen.

The purpose was to remind Ding Chen to be careful against Wang Yun and his comrades.

Wang Yun, Wang Yun!

Ding Chen repeated Wang Yun's name in his heart, and his eyes immediately became cold.

"Ding Huben, if there is nothing to do, I will leave!"

Jia Xu saw that Ding Chen didn't speak for a long time, and said impatiently: "If you are fine, go home, I have to give up my face and beg someone to gather four hundred soldiers and horses." If I can't get together 400 people today, Gao Shun will definitely make my noisy chickens and dogs restless. ”

"Ah, sir, please take care of yourself."

"Humph!"

Jia Xu left in a huff.

However, in that puffing posture, there are some truths and some falses, and no one can say clearly.

After Ding Chen saw Jia Xu leave, he slowly stood up.

Why am I so stupid, my brother has already left me a clue early in the morning, but unfortunately I turned a blind eye, I really shouldn't.

At the same time, he felt a little lighter.

Previously, he was scared, and to put it bluntly, it was because he didn't know who his opponent was.

The invisible enemy is the most terrifying!

Now, the enemy has been revealed, and the fear in Ding Chen's heart has been alleviated a lot.

Let's see what the prince will do next.

He didn't agree with Dong Zhuo, but he hated Wang Yun even more for careerists who only dared to hide in the shadows and sneak......

Raising his head, he glanced at the sky.

At this time, the sun is just right!

Ding Chen stretched his waist, and then slowly walked out of the office.
