Chapter 49: Cracks (1)(1/2)
The slaughter of Hu Chier was the slaughter of Hu people.
Dong Zhuo dominated Liangzhou, so he naturally had to deal with Hu people from various tribes.
Liangzhou was originally a place where Hu Han lived in mixed residence. Everyone lived in Xiu Tu. Among the Hu people in Liangzhou, they were very strong.
When Dong Zhuo quelled the Liangzhou Rebellion, Tushi of the elite cavalry was the main force.
This time, Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, so he also brought some of the slaughtered spirits to prevent it.
Hu Chier is a little handsome man who slaughtered the elite cavalry.
The slaughtered the elite cavalry and returned to commander Niu Fu. Originally, Hu Chier should have followed Niu Fu to Hedong, but he didn't want to get sick suddenly, so he stayed in Luoyang. This time he was ordered to help Lu Bu and resist the attacks of the coalition forces. However, although Lu Bu was also a mixed-race of Hu Han, he was extremely repulsive to the Hu people in his heart. When he was in Wuyuan, he killed the Hu people without mercy.
One hundred flowers on the back!
This is the punishment Lu Bu gave to Hu Chier.
The so-called back flower is also called the spine of a cane.
Set up a wooden rack, tie the person's hands to the rack, and make him stand under the wooden rack, and then hit the back with a wooden stick.
Not to mention a hundred flowers on the back, twenty flowers on the back are enough to make people lose their skin.
If you hit a hundred sticks, you will be beaten to death if you are more harsh, and you will lose half your life if you are less harsh.
Hu Chier's scream echoed outside the Arc descent.
The wooden stick hit the back, making a dull sound.
Lu Bu has already returned, while Ding Chen stayed there to help Cai Yong clean up the books on the ground.
He knew that Cai Yong was a famous scholar and a serious master of the times.
He was knowledgeable and very upright. In his early years, he fought against the eunuch group many times, but was exiled and assassinated. Finally, he had to go into exile to Jiangdong to hide. He returned to his hometown three years after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The bumpy and displaced life made Cai Yong no longer have the sharpness he used to be.
Like what Hu Chier did today, if Cai Yong had drawn his sword to face him in the early years, he might have fought with Hu Chier for life.
Looking at his gray hair, Ding Chen was also full of respect.
He heard Cao Cao say that in this world, if one is knowledgeable, besides Zheng Xuan, he can be considered Cai Yong.
"Sir, why bother to get into this muddy water?"
Ding Chen felt a little reluctant, so he picked up Shu Jian and placed it on the carriage and asked in a low voice.
Cai Yong was stunned for a moment and looked at Ding Chen in surprise.
The woman named Zhao Ji showed even more curiosity.
Zhao Ji, whose real name is Cai Yan, is Cai Yong's eldest daughter.
He married Wei Zhongdao from Hedong in his early years, but he didn't expect that Wei Zhongdao was a short-lived ghost and died within a few years.
In these days, women were very young when they got married.
When Wei Zhongdao died, Cai Yan was only sixteen years old.
At that time, Cai Yong was shunning goods in Jiangdong, and the Wei family treated her quite abusively. Cai Yan was furious and left the Wei family and ran to Jiangdong alone to find her father. Later, she returned to her hometown with Cai Yong and helped Cai Yong organize books.
This is a woman with extremely talented and knowledgeable skills!
"General, what do you mean?"
Cai Yong asked tentatively.
"Sir, don't doubt me. My brother is Cao Cao. The reason why he joined the army is that he has no choice but to do anything."
Ding Chen did not hide anything when facing Cai Yong.
He believed that Cai Yong would not betray him... Even if the edges and corners were worn away by suffering, Cai Boyi was Cai Boyi and worthy of his trust.
"Are you Meng De's brother-in-law?"
“That’s right.”
"That Ding Chen and Ding Ziyang, who was called Feilian in the city of Xingyang, defeated 8,000 Yingchuan soldiers alone?"
One-on-one force?
Ding Chen couldn't help laughing.
"Even if eight thousand pigs rushed over, I was no match, let alone eight thousand soldiers.
Li Min was incompetent and exhausted the three armies.
The reason why I was able to win in Xingyang was not because of how powerful I was, but because the opponent was too stupid, I was defeated by my troops in one fell swoop."
"I didn't expect that Fei Lian was still a handsome young man."
Cai Yong couldn't help laughing, and he was less careful about Ding Chen in his words.
"I have heard some of your affairs.
In fact, don’t blame your brother, Meng De must have had his last resort. But why do you say that Luoyang is a pool of muddy water?"
“The city of Luoyang is very complicated.
Even if I am, I don't know how to deal with it.
If there is no need for sir, it is better to return the same way... The Prime Minister has ordered the capital to be moved, and now Luoyang will be in chaos."
"Move the capital?"
Cai Yong took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Then I want to go too... Ziyang doesn't know anything. If I don't come, my fellow villagers will definitely die."
Ding Chen was stunned and immediately understood what Cai Yong meant.
It must be that Dong Zhuo sent someone to invite Cai Yong. He was unwilling to come at first, so Dong Zhuo threatened his tribe members.
Well, this is very Dong Zhuo!
The typical Dong Zhuo style is annoying.
Ding Chen understood Dong Zhuo, and he wanted to find some famous scholars to encourage his voice.
There is no way, he really has no prestige in the Central Plains. And prestige cannot be established in a short while.
In addition to family background, you also need to have academic education, demeanor and character to support it.
And Dong Zhuo doesn't have these either.
In this way, if he wants to strengthen his reputation, he can only start from the outside.
For example, he valued the party members, appointed ministers like Yang Biao and Huang Wan, and also recruited famous scholars to show his eagerness to seek talents. However, those famous scholars were not fools. Everyone knew that Dong Zhuo's ship was not reliable. If you couldn't get it, you would threaten it. This is a typical barbaric method. But it has to be admitted that this method is sometimes very useful.
Of course, threats depend on people.
Dong Zhuo dared not threaten such a family.
For example, the four surnames of Yingchuan all have great families and many famous scholars in the family. Once they are touched, they will cause trouble.
Cai Yong was displaced for many years. His old friends and students died in the party and bribery disaster, and his connections no longer existed. He was not in the court for many years and had no authority. Apart from his two daughters, there was no one in his family who could come out to support the scene. In this case, if Dong Zhuo did not threaten him, could he still threaten others?
In this world, soft persimmons have always been pinched!
Ding Chen looked at Cai Yong helplessly, and then looked at Cai Yan next to him.
"Sir, you shouldn't let Ling Ai follow you."
"Why can't I follow... My family is old and my body is getting weaker.
If I don’t take care of you, what if there is a mistake? Ding, please don’t pretend to be a good person here..."
"Zhao Ji, don't be rude."
Cai Yong knew that Ding Chen had good intentions.
He quickly scolded Cai Yan and then apologized to Ding Chen.
Ding Chen didn't care, just smiled.
He picked up the last volume of Jianshu from the ground and placed it in the car.
"Sir, it's not me who's talking nonsense.
Now, from west of Arcmen Pass to Luoyang, it is not safe along the way.
You have just seen that most of the Hu cavalry are unreasonable. If they don’t know the name of Mr. Hu, they will inevitably be rude and insulting their manners. What’s more, I think Mr. Hu has no followers, and even if he arrives in Luoyang, he will continue to travel west, which will be inconvenient. If Mr. Hu trusts me, he can stay in my camp first. After a few days, he will evacuate with me and have some care on the road. I dare not say anything else, but it is not difficult to protect Mr. Hu Hu to arrive in Luoyang safely."
Of course it's not difficult!
You know, Ding Chen is now in the Liangzhou army and has an extraordinary status.
Hua Xiong is dead, and the Liangzhou army is in need of someone who can stand up and support the storefront.
Although Ding Chen was not a direct subordinate of the Liangzhou army, he was also a member of the Liangzhou army. In addition, he defeated Cao Cao three times and defeated Li Min at Xingyang City. The name of "Fei Lian in the World" has been spread among the Liangzhou army, which is enough to give him a place.
In this case, who ordinary people dares to provoke?
Cai Yong was a little moved when he heard this!
To be continued...
