Chapter 29: Lu Bu's Prestige in Luoyang City
When Li Jue and Guo Si brought a thousand flying bear army into the palace, they frightened the ministers in Luoyang City. Because they didn't know what Dong Zhongying was going to do, they were afraid that Dong Zhuo would do something earth-shaking.
As a result, when they learned that Dong Zhuo sent his subordinates to the palace in the name of protecting King Chenliu, and King Chenliu agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved, but some people were even more worried.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Zhuo said he was protecting King Chenliu. In fact, he just used the name of protection and then extended his hand to the palace and watched King Chenliu. It made others dare not act rashly. The so-called "stop playing a rat is a jealous weapon. Now that even King Chenliu is controlled by Dong Zhuo, who dares to attack Dong Zhuo again? Are you not afraid of him killing King Chenliu first? So Dong Zhuo took this step, and he had a good plan. If King Chenliu Liu Xie was really killed by Dong Zhuo for someone, then no one can bear such a crime.
After Wang Yun learned the specific news, he still scolded Dong Zhuo in the mansion, but this time he cursed lightly, and finally came to an abrupt end. In fact, this was not that he was afraid of Dong Zhuo, but that he suddenly thought that it would be bad if there were ears in the wall or there was a traitor from Dong Zhuo in his mansion. Although he was not afraid of Dong Zhuo, he should try to avoid trouble at this time. After all, dealing with Dong Zhuo, judging from the current situation, the task is long and difficult. If he couldn't do it well, it would be a protracted battle, so he could not lose here. Just thinking about this, Wang Yun no longer scolded Dong Zhuo, but just kept all his words in his heart.
Now Wang Yun knows that he must be careful, so he has begun to lie dormant. As the saying goes, "A dog that bites people will not show its teeth." Although Wang Yun cannot say that he is an animal, the meaning is almost the same.
After Yuan Shao learned about this, he thought to himself that Luoyang is indeed a place of right and wrong, and it is not suitable for him to stay for a long time. Instead of being in such a dangerous place, he must always be wary of Dong Zhongying, and there are other people who are eyeing him to be unfavorable to the Yuan family and are preparing to take advantage of the situation. It is better to find an opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Yuan Shao had already made up his mind at this time and was ready to find a good opportunity to leave Luoyang. Isn’t it easy to get out of it? Yuan Benchu, a contemporary Yuan family talent, is actually not a futile reputation.
But you must not just leave like this. No matter how you say that I am a talented person from the Yuan family, if you really leave like this, you will definitely be ridiculed by the world. If you want to leave, you have to leave vigorously. You cannot think that you are afraid of him, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying. Think of my four generations and three masters of the Yuan family, why is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu afraid of him, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying? Even if he is hundreds of thousands of soldiers, I still want the world to understand that I, Yuan Benchu, is fearless about this!
Yuan Shao is now just a junior high school captain, but this is actually far from his goal. Yuan Shao is the most outstanding talent in the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has four generations and three dukes, so according to his idea, he must be the worst of the three dukes. From his own point of view, he should start to be the third dukes of the fifth dukes. This is what Yuan Shao thinks now, and the third dukes of the worst of the third dukes. It has to be said that Yuan Shao’s heart is really big.
He actually had the same idea as Cao Cao before, so he and Cao Cao were friends since childhood. Of course, that can only be said to be when they were young. As they grew older, Yuan Shao was slowly changing. Because he felt that Cao Cao's idea was not suitable for him, he should still strive to reach the position of the Three Officials, which really made him highly and powerful in the Han Dynasty. Now he is proud of the Yuan family, and one day, the Yuan family will be proud of himself.
Cao Cao now has another idea. He knew Dong Zhuo's troubles, of course he understood that Dong Zhuo's power has been achieved and he could not be destroyed overnight. But he had no good idea yet. After all, Dong Zhuo had not done any major matters that were angry with heaven and people, so he would not have the right to do so.
It’s a pity that the Han Dynasty was in a turmoil, but now Dong Zhuo has entered Beijing again. I wonder how the Han Dynasty will be tortured by him. With Cao Cao’s understanding of Dong Zhuo over the years, Dong Zhuo is not a minister of revival. He has indeed made a lot of contributions to the Han Dynasty. Maybe he will do something for the Han Dynasty in the future, but he still has to think more about himself. Because Dong Zhuo is no longer the Dong Zhuo he used to be, and people are changing, but he, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, Longxi, has become what he is now.
Actually, let alone Dong Zhuo, isn’t even Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi the same? When Cao Cao learned that it was Ma Chao who took the prince away, he suddenly felt that although he was familiar with Ma Chao, he might not really understand him. Because a minister could not take the future emperor away, maybe he wanted to protect him, but Cao Cao still couldn’t accept it. But Ma Chao did this, and it was done under the eyes of everyone.
In fact, I am also changing, so how will I become in the end? Cao Cao doesn't know now. Could it be like him, Dong Zhuo? He went from a loyal minister who thought about the Han Dynasty to a powerful minister who now only thought about his own interests? Or did what he thought was correct, without considering other people's ideas. No, no, how could I, Cao Mengde, be like him, Dong Zhongying and Ma Chao, absolutely not!
I, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, have made ambitions since I was young. A man should follow Wei and Huo, expand territory for the Han Dynasty and achieve great achievements. He will report to the country and the people to the public, so that he will not be able to travel in the world. After his death, he wrote a tomb saying: "The tomb of Cao, the general of the Han Dynasty, was the first to conquer the Western Region." His lifelong wish is enough! But I have never forgotten this ambition, until today.
Although Cao Cao seems to have a little shaken, there is not much change. He is not Dong Zhuo, nor Ma Chao, nor Yuan Shao. Cao Cao is just Cao Cao, the one who wants to carve the tomb of Cao Mengde, the former general of the Han Dynasty, who is engraved on the tomb, "The tomb of Cao Hou, the former general of the Han Dynasty, the Western Expedition".
Two more days later, just when Dong Zhuo was hosting everyone in Wenmingyuan, he actually wanted to establish his authority because they wanted to discuss the ceremony of the succession of the new emperor.
At this time, the Malay newspaper: "Report to all the great masters, the Bingzhou Governor Ding Yuan led the Bingzhou Governor to the city of Luoyang!"
When everyone heard this, everyone except Dong Zhuo was happy. After hearing this, Dong Zhuo just snorted coldly, then looked at Li Ru standing next to him, and Li Ru nodded slightly to him.
Dong Zhuo understood, so he said to everyone: "The so-called 'It's better to come sooner than to come sooner than to come by'. Since Ding Jianyang came at the right time, it's better for everyone to come with me to welcome him into the city!"
Everyone didn't say anything when they heard this, and they didn't do anything. Because no one knew what medicine was selling in Dong Zhuo's gourd, no one dared to act rashly at this time.
So Dong Zhuo glanced at everyone and said to himself that it seemed that these people were not worth worrying about. Fortunately, he looked at them with a high regard, but now he was not his opponent. Dong Zhuo did feel a little good about himself. In fact, if everyone didn't say anything or did nothing, it would mean that he was not as good as him. On the contrary, this might be a way to protect himself. After all, he had lost his life, so why would he talk about other things?
Cao Cao was the first to speak, "Mr. Dong said so much. Cao thought that you might as well go with Mr. Dong to welcome Ding Jianyang, the governor of Bingzhou, into the city!"
Now Cao Cao won’t call Brother Dong Zhuo Zhongying. The first thing is that Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside the city. Who dares to call him brothers? But wasn’t Cao Cao afraid of him? In fact, this is the intention of Cao Cao to keep a distance from Dong Zhuo. After all, Cao Cao really doesn’t want to be with him, but he still has to contact him, so Cao Cao was helpless. In the end, he could only tell himself in terms of his name that Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying had changed, no longer Brother Zhongying, but Dong Gong, and Dong Gong.
Since Cao Cao was here to be the first bird, everyone was naturally happy. Everyone laughed, "Meng De said so much, Mr. Dong, please!"
"please!"
...
In this way, everyone and Dong Zhuo went to the city gate to pick up Ding Yuan. Dong Zhuo had come from the west before, so his army was also stationed at the west gate of Luoyang. Ding Yuan came from Bingzhou but came from the east, so he was now at the east gate of Luoyang and was about to enter the city.
After everyone took Ding Yuan into the city, the Bingzhou army had already been stationed. Apart from his personal guards, only his chief clerk in the army was also his adopted son, Wuyuan Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, and none of the other generals entered the city.
Many people have heard of Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian in Wuyuan, but almost no one has seen him, so this is the first time I have seen him. Those who really saw Lu Bu and those who understand him sighed in their hearts, what a bear and tiger general! Lu Bu is not only good-looking but also the piles of people who look at him feel like this. The bear and tiger general is much more powerful than the tiger and wolf general. There are many people who describe tiger and wolf generals, but only Lu Bu is the only one who uses bear and tiger generals.
Everyone returned to Wenmingyuan with Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, and someone had already added another seat, and Ding Yuan sat down without hesitation. As for Lu Bu, who was wearing a helmet and armor, he held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and fought behind Ding Yuan.
After everyone sat down, they suddenly found that the temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees at this time. I don’t know whether Lu Bu was intentionally or unintentionally, the momentum on his body was released. Who is Lu Bu? He was a top general. Of course, his aura was not something that others could have. Dong Zhuo also felt that his aura had been low, but what he had to discuss today must be said.
So he said first: "Everyone, King Chenliu is concise and studious, and can be a high-ranking position. I wonder what you think?"
Wang Yun first said, "Mr. Dong is as wise as a torch, and this is true. We will discuss it. March 16th is the auspicious day of the zodiac sign, and the ceremony of the new emperor's succession will be held!"
This was also the day before Dong Zhuo came before he came, and the other ministers quickly spoke, "We will discuss it!"
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he frowned slightly, "I intend to hold the throne ceremony on March 15th, what about?"
Yuan Shao stood up and said, "No, I think it's better to have a March 16th! This is what everyone wants. Does Mr. Dong not want to follow everyone's wishes?"
If Yuan Shao said this, it was really a bit like that. He had already put everyone in just one sentence. You see, no one thought about saying too much at this time, but Yuan Shao jumped out the first one and said that this is what everyone meant. Is it because you, Dong Zhuo, don’t respect everyone’s meaning? Several people secretly scolded Yuan Shao for being troublesome, and this time they pushed themselves and others to the forefront.
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he became angry. What did he mean? Everyone said, I, Dong Zhongying, hold 200,000 troops in his hand. Do you still have to act according to your expression? Joke, I decided this way today. What can you do?
"Hmph, this matter is up to me, who dares to have any objections! Will you deceive my army without any trouble?"
As he said that, Dong Zhuo was glaring at Yuan Shao, thinking that he wanted to establish his authority now, so people like Yuan Shao must be suppressed. If it weren't for everyone to climb up to his head, they would now let them see, "How many eyes do Prince Ma have?"
Yuan Shao also snorted coldly at this, "Hmph, others are afraid of you Dong Zhongying, I, Yuan Benchu, are not afraid! Everyone, the so-called 'The way is different, and I don't plan with each other', Yuan said goodbye!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao turned around and left. Dong Zhuo wanted someone to kill Yuan Shao, but Li Ru secretly grabbed him and said to him softly: "Don't be angry, Yuan Benchu can't kill this person!"
When Dong Zhuo thought about Li Ru's words, it was right. Yuan Shao really couldn't kill him. "I'll let him go today!"
Then Dong Zhuo said: "Everyone, I wonder who has any objections to this?"
Just when Dong Zhuo thought no one would object to him anymore, he heard the Bingzhou Mu Ding Yuan sneer a few times, "Hahaha, Dong Zhongying, do you think you can cover the sky with one hand?"
Dong Zhuo was so angry that Yuan Shao was enough to make him angry, but now Ding Yuan popped up again. Moreover, Ding Yuan is different from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao just has the Yuan family as his support. After all, the Yuan family is very powerful in the court and has many disciples and officials. But Ding Yuan came directly with the Bingzhou army, which seemed to have brought 50,000, which is definitely a lot. Although it is true that he has an army of 200,000, he has taken out 50,000 people, and he is probably not a match for the Bingzhou army.
After all, they were a regular army of the Han Dynasty, and except for the elite Feixiong Army, other soldiers were still not comparable to others. I have only been trained for many years, and the Bingzhou Army has been trained for many years, which is indeed incomparable.
More importantly, Ding Yuan stood behind Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo, the famous son of Lu Bu, had also heard of. Although this was the first time to meet him, Dong Zhuo could see from the other party's momentum that it was unique and not everyone could compare with. With such a general of bear and tiger, it was no wonder that Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang looked fearless.
But Dong Zhuo still couldn't help it, "Ding Jianyang, are you against it?"
Ding Yuan glanced at Dong Zhuo and said, "Goodbye!"
As he said that, Ding Yuan stood up and left, and at his secret signal, Lu Bu kicked Ding Yuan's previous table with one kick, and then slashed the flying table with Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the table was divided into several pieces.
Everyone was shocked and thought that he was so impatient to live like this in front of Dong Zhongying. But then he thought that Ding Yuan and Ding Jianyang should also be very skilled and brave. Just looking at Lu Bu behind him, he didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously at all.
Dong Zhuo was so angry that he said furiously: "Ding Yuan, you bullied me too much! Do you dare to fight outside the city?"
Ding Yuan laughed: "Hahaha, I'm afraid you won't come!" After that, he and Lu Bu left without looking back.
Dong Zhuo did not dare to stop the two of them, so he said, "I have decided, it's March 15th. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Let's break up!"
Although Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan dare to say it, the people who are still here have their own ideas at this time, so naturally they didn't say much. After all, to be honest, there is no big difference between March 15 and March 16, and it's not a big deal to change it.
