Chapter 247: Lianxia
In fact, if he is a king, Dong Zhuo is definitely not a qualified king when he talks like this, don't look at his age of more than forty, the previous Dong Zhuo can only say that he has lived to a dog at his age, not even a Ming Lord, let alone go further to become an emperor, and now Dong Zhuo, in his forties, is a mind in his early twenties, and in less than two years, he has to struggle to survive in this era, and growing up like this is already a great achievement for him.
In the room, although everyone was still panicked, after Dong Zhuo clicked his words through, several people had to press their minds. Unlike a few people, after successfully achieving the goal, Jia Xu's mood suddenly became better, and he was born from the heart, and on his stiff face, the smile made everyone look at it uncertainly.
Puzzled in his heart, Dong Zhuo lost the slightest interest in continuing the discussion, and forcibly suppressed the rest of the matter, so he waved his hand to let a few people retreat.
"Zhongkang, can I trust you?" The room was silent, and even the surrounding guards were waved back by Xu Chu, Dong Zhuo was motionless like a sculpture, I don't know how long it was, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning, and his voice was hoarse and indifferent.
"Xu Chu was originally a rough man, he was not abandoned by the lord, and he went thousands of miles to recruit him, and Xu Chu was promised as a guard, so heavy on his kindness, Chu was hard to repay with broken bones, and the words of the lord were what Chu should do." With a bang, Xu Chu's legs fell to his knees in front of Dong Zhuo, and his head slammed into the ground hard, and he said angrily.
"Okay, then, I'll give you one thing to do." Dong Zhuo stepped forward, pulled Xu Chu up from the ground, his eyes were fixed on Xu Chu, and after a long time, he saw that his expression was always the same, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.
"My lord, please command." Xu Chu wanted to kneel again, but was grabbed by Dong Zhuo with one hand, so he had to slam his hand on his chest and respond.
Dong Zhuo turned around, walked quickly to the bookcase next to him, reached out and grabbed the ink ingot and grinded it a few times in the inkstone, and then he didn't care whether the ink was properly ground, threw the ink ingot, spread a piece of paper on the table with one hand, and directly took the pen next to him with the other hand and used it.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's anxious appearance, Xu Chu stood motionless there, he had personally experienced what happened in the house before, and the reason why Dong Zhuo had such an appearance, Xu Chu faintly understood in his heart, although he was not stupid, but the current things were obviously a little complicated, and they were beyond his cognition.
"You immediately leave to return to Chang'an, and hand over this letter to Wen You, if he asks about anything else, you just have to tell the truth, this matter is very important, remember, be sure to hand it over to Wen You, anyone who intends to take over this letter will be killed!" I don't know if it's his delusion, he only feels that when Dong Zhuo confesses this sentence, he is like a beast that wants to devour people, but when he looks at it again, he doesn't find anything.
"No." Xu Chu responded, and then Xu felt that he was a little too vague to answer only one word, and then said in a deep voice: "The faith is in the people, the people are dead, and the faith is dead, and Chu will definitely not let others contact him." ”
Dong Zhuo nodded, very satisfied with Xu Chu's answer, no wonder he was so nervous, in his power, the shadow guard occupies an important part, even if he doesn't talk about this, in his opinion, a Jia Xu will be more important than the entire shadow guard, no matter which link there is a problem in these two aspects, it is enough to make him break his muscles and bones.
"Go ahead." Waving his hand, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt very tired and tired, this kind of intrigue between his own people has always been the last thing he wants to contact, which is also the reason why he has always been concerned about the affairs of the shadow guard, but now it seems that he was wrong.
In fact, at this point, it is impossible to say whether it is right or wrong, the emperor's mind has always been the most unpredictable, because from ancient times to the present, in the era when imperial power was prevalent, there has never been anyone as completely delegated power as Dong Zhuo is now, checks and balances are the royal road, and the real ultimate power is in the hands of the emperor.
This cannot be said that the people of later generations are inferior to the ancients, if it is really about conspiracy and trickery, the means of later generations will be even more unguardable. It's just that the most important thing is that he Dong Zhuo was just a person on the street before, and he has never been in contact with all kinds of deceit in the power circle, a small citizen of Shengdou, what kind of "ambition" can you expect him to have?
Dong Zhuo has always felt that he has completely integrated into this era, but it is only now that he has woken up to the fact that his so-called "feeling" is just his own self-righteous self-deception.
The people under his command, whether it is Li Ru, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, or Li Dao, Guo Yan and other old people in Xiliang, or Tai Shici, Le Jin and other people who have been recruited by him one after another, Dong Zhuo was stunned to find that he had never carefully understood them, and his cognition of them was more just those memories brought by his later generations, and once there was a sudden change like today, the first thing he felt was that he was at a loss, which had to be said to be a kind of sadness.
His mind changed, Dong Zhuo didn't even know when he sat down, his head was turning, some things that he had never considered in the past began to churn, and in his stunned eyes, in the panic and anxiety, a touch of ruthlessness quietly brewed.
For three days, Dong Zhuojun's main force did not move.
In the past three days, Dong Zhuo refused all requests to see, and even ate and drank in the house and barely went out, he was waiting, waiting for the news to come back from Chang'an.
In the past three days, like Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu also refused all requests to see him and closed his door, and he was also waiting, waiting for the news from Dong Zhuo.
In three days, Gao Shun had the help of God, and the 5,000 trapping camp first went down to Fucheng in a battle, and then, Gao Shun ordered to throw off the burden of the people, and quickly sent troops to the south, and attacked Jinzhu more than 100 miles away overnight, killing Liu Zhang's generals to climb Pang Le, and surrendering 23,000 people from Pang Le.
Subsequently, Gao Shun left 1,000 people to stay in the city, and then took the remaining 3,000 people to coerce 6,000 soldiers of the Pang Le Department to send troops to the county.
And here, Gaoshun is only a hundred miles away from Chengdu City.
When Dong Zhuo got the news from Gao Shun, Gao Shun's army had set off again, and this time, Gao Shun's goal was to take Chengdu.
The battle situation changed so quickly that before Liu Fan, Liu Zhang and others had completely evacuated, Gao Shun had already come to the city.
"Liu Zhang, although your father Liu Yan did not have much favor in Yizhou, but he never ravaged the people like you, do you open your eyes and look at this Yizhou now, do you still have the slightest appearance of the people and the wealth of the country? Listen to how the people scolded your father and son, if I were Liu Yan, I would directly wipe my neck, and if you did this, where would you trap your father? ”
In Chengdu, the people have already been expelled, and most of the grain, grass and equipment have been transported out of the city, even the soldiers, in the past few days, the troops sent to Chengdu from all over the country have arrived one after another, Liu Fan has asked Liu Zhang to take half of them first, otherwise, just now Gao Shun's scolding is enough to make Liu Zhang vomit blood.
However, no better than Liu Zhang, whether it is knowledge, courage or mental talent, Liu Fan is completely better than Liu Zhang, although he is also surprised that Gao Shun is so fast, but for Gao Shun's provocation, Liu Fan obviously does not even have the mind to reason.
"Liu Zhang, you cowardly and incompetent person, don't you even have the courage to fight? No wonder Liu Yan died so early, like you, who can only eat the old book, even if there are two more Liu Yan, it will not be enough for you to eat. "There are not many people brought by Gao Shun, only three thousand, that is, these three thousand people, almost half of them are still recruited from the captive surrendered soldiers, and the high-intensity marching and fighting for days and days, even if they are as strong as trapping the camp, there are many people who can't bear it, and either fall in the siege war, or fall behind on the way to the rapid march.
"Soldiers in Chengdu, now that my lord Dong Xiangguo will arrive with a large army later, do you want to stay for Liu Yan to be buried? Have you forgotten that Liu Yan died on a woman's belly? The war is to defend the homeland, but you are fighting for him Liu Yan in the front, but he is playing with your wife and daughter in the back, is such a person worthy of your life? My lord is benevolent, and if he doesn't want to be buried with someone like Liu Yan, he will go out of the city and surrender, and my lord promises not to blame ...... past."
At the head of the city, with Gao Shun's shouts one after another, there was a boom, and Liu Fan, who was surrounded by a group of people, suddenly turned pale when he saw this.
Slapping people in the face, scolding people and exposing their shortcomings, it can be said that they are the most vicious, Gao Shun's words shouted out without any scruples, even if he was as patient as Liu Fan, he couldn't stop his heart from burning up.
Liu Yan's death was extremely disgraceful, and Zhao Wei, who almost became the ruler of Yizhou, the two can be said to be planted in the belly of the same woman, Dong Zhuo was able to send troops, and the banner raised high was based on Liu Yan's death, no matter what the real situation was, how could ordinary soldiers care about this, Gao Shun's words suddenly hit their hearts.
"Come on, let the overseer team come up, whoever makes noise without reason, kill, and those who whisper and disturb the morale of the army, kill." Gritted his teeth, Liu Fan knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise he didn't need Gao Shun to attack, just the soldiers on the head of the city fought back, it was enough to turn Chengdu upside down, you know, most of the soldiers in the city now are guards from all over the world, not to mention whether they are elite or not, the reason for the war is the first time they have heard of it, and their minds are shaken, if they are tempted by Gao Shun later, I am afraid that this Chengdu City will really be over.
"But the eldest prince ......" Liu Fan's side, a person looked at him with an embarrassed face, hesitated and opened his mouth to prepare to persuade.
His face turned pale, Liu Fan's face was instantly full of hideousness, his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire back, and he shouted to interrupt the man's words: "No, the military order is like a mountain." ”
