Chapter 163 Han and Horse (End)(2/3)
"I will understand!"
Yan Xing asked in confusion: "Father-in-law, where are we going?"
"Towards An Ding, we will meet with Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang."
"In order to be with them, and to be stable, we must pass through Longxi. Didn't my father-in-law say he wouldn't leave Longxi?"
"We did not go to Longxi, but crossed Queyin River and entered An Ding from Jingyuan."
"Go to Jingyuan?"
Han Sui smiled slightly and said softly: "I have known each other with Jingyuan's guard Ma Teng for a long time. This person is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, but he has great ambitions. He is not a direct descendant of Dong Zhuo, so he will definitely not be valued. And because he is from Liangzhou, a group of Sili will also reject him. When we go to Jingyuan, we can inform me of my experience and then convince him. As long as we can gain a foothold in Jingyuan and Bian Zhang and others will gain power, we can take the opportunity to send troops to help. If we lose power, we can join forces with Ma Teng to plan for Wuwei."
After hearing these words, Yan Xing fell into deep thought.
"My father-in-law means... occupying Wuwei, we are backing the Western Regions. If the current situation is not good, we will go to the Western Regions; if the current situation is good, take the opportunity to regain Jincheng?"
Han Sui nodded with appreciation, "Yanming said it well. But what I planned is not only in Jincheng, but the entire Liangzhou. Look, even if Bian Zhang and Li Wenhou were defeated, the people from the court would not let Dong Zhuo become bigger alone. They would definitely take someone out to share his power. At that time, we will be able to get along with each other, but if we have to convince Ma Teng, we will also invite one person before... Yanming, you can lead people first, Cheng Yin and Liang Xing will come to ask for someone, and then follow."
Yan Xing was stunned, "Who do you want to invite in my father-in-law?"
"Guo Chong!"
"Guo Chong, a native of Gaolan?"
"It's this person. Guo Chong has a good relationship with Ma Teng, and Guo Chong's ancestors once had kindness to Ma Teng's father. If he came forward, it would be easy to convince Ma Teng."
Yan Xing smiled and said, "Father-in-law is really scheming, and the son-in-law admires it."
*******
Not to mention how Han Sui convinced Ma Teng.
When Jincheng was captured by Han Sui, Dong Zhuo defeated Huangzhong and Qiang in the river valley.
Fifty thousand iron cavalry rushed around, and more than 100,000 hungry Qiang cavalry could not make effective resistance. After a few days of fierce battle, Beigong Boyu fled in a panic.
On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere.
Dong Zhuo was wearing military uniform and riding a big white horse, very proud.
Beside him, Li Jue, Guo Si and Li Ru, the other generals were divided into three groups to kill and vow to take down Beigong Boyu.
Li Ru looked at the sky and smiled and said, "I guess Han Sui has occupied Jincheng."
Li Jue and Guo Si are a little afraid of this thin guy.
This is a guy who even dares to plot against his own people...
The conflict between Li Ru and Hu Zhen originated from Nanyang. Li Ru's unpredictable plan at the beginning made Dong Zhuo almost die on the banks of the Qingshui River. If it weren't for Dong Qi leading the surprise troops, it might have... Therefore, after this, Hu Zhen often sarcasticly sarcasticly towards Li Ru.
The conflict between these two people became even more powerful after returning to Liangzhou.
Beigong Boyu attacked the river valley abnormally, and Li Ru immediately noticed a trace of conspiracy.
After careful analysis, Li Ru came to the conclusion: Han Sui wanted to abandon his soldiers and protect his commander, abandon Beigong Boyu and protect himself.
At this moment, suddenly, General Dong Cheng, the chariot and cavalry, sent his confidant Dong Jin to ask for a meeting with Dong Zhuo.
Dong Jin is a very clever young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with his name as Sanshi.
Li Ru also met this person, and the conversation that night was limited to Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Dong Jin.
Dong Jin said: "I heard that Lord Dong's ancestors were originally from Pengcheng, Xuzhou. Later, their family moved to Longxi. Is there any incident?"
Dong Zhuo's ancestors did live in Pengcheng, but that was already three generations ago, and Dong Zhuo himself was not very clear. In his bones, many years of life in Liangzhou have made Dong Zhuo's very obvious mark of Liangzhou people.
However, Dong Jin's words seemed to have hidden secrets, so Dong Zhuo naturally would not deny them.
"That was a matter of many years ago. My father talked about this with Zhuo, saying that there are still relatives in Pengcheng, but Zhuo has never returned. He is not very clear about who else is in the clan."
"Oh, that little man knows one or two."
Dong Zhuo looked very excited, "Sir, I'm sure you give me advice."
"My home is also from Pengcheng. After the eldest son entered Luoyang, my home was told that the eldest son also had the surname Dong, and his ancestral home was in Pengcheng, so he went home and checked the genealogy and found that the name of Lord Dong's father was on it."
"oh?"
"Adult father, is Ming Ya?"
Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly, "That's right!"
"However, in the genealogy, Lord Dong's branch only ended with the Lord Lingzun. I don't know why, but I don't see the Lord's name."
"Maybe this is because I won't contact the family for a long time, so I don't know."
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru and saw Li Ru nodding slightly.
Dong Cheng was the younger brother of Empress Dong. The Dong family in Pengcheng was a prominent family at that time and was quite famous. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both keenly realized that Dong Jin's arrival might have a different purpose. But no matter what the purpose was, being able to enter the Dong family genealogy, whether Dong Zhuo is really related to the Dong family or not, it is equivalent to changing the identity of a boss.
Didn’t this thing be written by a human?
Dong Jin said that Dong Ya's name was not Dong Zhuo's name, which meant that Dong Zhuo wanted Dong Zhuo to show his attitude.
Dong Zhuo stood up, "Please tell General Cheqi, sir, that Dong Zhuo is always thinking about returning to the clan to recognize his ancestors... I beg the general to fulfill Zhuo's idea because Dong Zhuo is sincere."
The meaning of the words has already shown the feelings.
Dong Jin pondered for a moment, took out two letters from his close-fitting underwear mezzanine, and handed them to Dong Zhuo.
"One of these two letters was written for my master's house, and the other one... After reading them, I'll just tell the villain the answer."
Dong Zhuo glanced at the envelope and couldn't help but hit a chill.
One of the letters was covered with the emperor's seal, which was clearly an edict.
He opened the letter and read it carefully. Dong Zhuosu said: "Please tell the master, just say that Dong Zhuo decided to go according to the order."
Dong Jin said: "Before the villain set off, the master asked the villain to tell the adults a few words: The young master is not tolerated by scholars in Luoyang, but as long as the master is here for one day, he will definitely guarantee the young master to be fully prepared. The adults should accumulate strength and can only make a difference in the future. If you can accomplish things, then the general will be the general. Therefore, please think twice about how to do it."
These words were said ingeniously, but clearly expressed Dong Cheng's meaning.
Is it Dong Cheng’s meaning or the emperor’s meaning?
Dong Zhuo didn't want to ask. This is a huge benefit and it can help him gain a foothold in Liangzhou.
Shortly after Dong Jin left, news came from Luoyang that Dong Qi was thrown into Dali Prison and was almost framed.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao sent Zhang Miao, which was called assistance.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see Yuan Shao’s thoughts. Zhang Miao came here, probably not just to assist Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Miao was very clear and did not rush to interfere in military affairs after coming to Longxi.
But Dong Zhuo knew very well that Zhang Miao was not trying to intervene, but was waiting for the opportunity. As long as the war in Liangzhou was quelled, he would definitely come out. At that time, with the ability of the Yuan family's four generations and three dukes, Dong Zhuo's power was divided, which was easy.
Yuan family, you guys are so calculating!
However, Dong Zhuo was not worried. Since he had the support of the Dong family, let him come over.
Therefore, when Li Ru told him that Han Sui might have had a conspiracy, Dong Zhuo cooperated to transfer all the Jincheng troops to the river valley.
If you want to break through, then break through.
As long as you are in Liangzhou, you can't run out of my palm.
In Li Ru, in addition to Hu Zhen, he felt anger in his heart.
*******
Beigong Boyu was taken by Zhang Xiu and escorted to Dong Zhuo.
Seeing Beigong Boyu, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but think of his eldest daughter and son-in-law, and his intention to kill him suddenly arose in his heart.
"Beigong Yu, I have heard of your name for a long time!"
Dong Zhuo deliberately called Beigong Boyu's earlier name, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Beigong Boyu's face was gray and his heart was filled with despair. He knew very well that Dong Zhuo would never spare his life.
He was more tough when he was determined, but his legs kept trembling and he knelt on the ground.
"You killed my daughter that day, did you think about today?"
Taking a deep breath, Beigong Boyu said: "If you want to kill, you will be able to cut it, you can do whatever you want..."
"Hahaha, I want to kill you, as simple as crushing an ant. But now I suddenly want to tell you something, I believe you will definitely listen. Just as you were fighting with me, your friend Han Sui occupied Jincheng."
Beigong Boyu's eyes lit up, but when he saw the smile on Dong Zhuo's face, he seemed to understand something suddenly.
"But he did not come to save you, but instead took food, grass, soldiers and horses to Anding and sent Li Wenhou and Bian Zhang. Hehe, your most trusted ally has abandoned you now. I wonder what you, the King of the Destroyed Qiang, feels when you hear this?"
"He, he..."
Beigong Boyu felt a suffocation in his chest and opened his mouth and spit out blood.
Han Sui, why do I always believe him? It is said that scholars know shame and loyalty and righteousness, but why do he betray me again and again?
Looking at Beigong Boyu's pale face, Dong Zhuo felt a sense of pleasure.
"Come, push the thief out and kill him!"
A small school came over and dragged Beigong Boyu away. After a while, a bloody head was taken in front of Dong Zhuo.
