The Nameless of the Common Clans

This was Dong Zhuo's second banquet, but the mood of the two banquets was different.

I came here yesterday because I was invited by Dong Zhuo, more or less to give Dong Zhuo some face, but in my heart, I think most people look down on Dong Zhuo and are even hostile to him.

But today, not to mention the hostility, but the fear of Dong Zhuo has emerged. Dong Zhuo acted vigorously and resolutely. Overnight, before the scholars could discuss a countermeasure, they already had the palace and food and grass in their hands. .

In fact, there is still power to fight now. Dong Zhuo's troops should not be many, and the officers and men under the command of General Yulin Zhonglang and Huben Zhonglang who have just been recruited may not be united, nor are they without strength to fight, but the premise is... these people Chen Mo can't make up his mind to work together within today. Anyway, Chen Mo has no hope. He will just wait and see what happens.

"We will probably talk about abolishing Li later, you and I..." Cao Cao looked at Chen Mo and said.

"I'm just afraid that we made a move, but no one responded." Chen Mo observed the fate and luck of himself and Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, don't worry, I don't think we will make a decision today. You and I are of low status. Talk lightly, eat wine and eat meat."

Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao's hesitation yesterday disappointed Chen Mo. His failure to seize the opportunity yesterday led to Dong Zhuo's unscrupulous behavior today. The scene just now was considered to be intimidating the officials, but no one among the officials resisted. Obviously, Chen Mo was not the only one who was disappointed with Yuan Shao.

Soon, Dong Zhuo came with his sword in hand. When he saw the ministers, he smiled and saluted: "It is Zhuo's fault that I have troubled you all to wait for a long time. I just accepted the command of General Wu Guanzhonglang. I have no skills at all. Please forgive me."

All the officials were a little confused after hearing this. Not to mention Dong Zhuo's own troops, from the time when the Xiliang Army entered the city to now, Dong Zhuo has successively recruited the Wei Wei, Huben Zhonglang General, Yu Lin Zhonglang General, and Wuguan Zhonglang. Nearly 30% of General Lang and the subordinates of the city gate captain and the military power of Luoyang have been taken over by him. If this continues, won't the abolition of the establishment be a foregone conclusion?

"I'll punish you with a drink!" Dong Zhuo knelt down, raised the glass of wine on the table, raised his head, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Masters, please!"

The ministers were worried, but they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's current power and did not dare to say anything. They began to have a banquet.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, just when the atmosphere was no longer so stiff, I heard Dong Zhuo say: "Everyone, I have something to say. I already said it yesterday, and I will ask it again today!"

The civil and military officials who had already defected to Dong Zhuo followed suit and said, "I wonder what Mr. Dong's advice is?"

"The emperor is the lord of all the people. He cannot worship the ancestral temple and the state without dignity. He is now cowardly. Since the cholera epidemic in the eunuch temple, he has rarely dealt with the affairs of the court and only knows how to be sad all day long. King Chenliu is young and smart, and he should be the wise master. Moreover, the late emperor also left an edict to establish King Chenliu to inherit the emperor's legacy. This is the edict left by the late emperor. I would like to ask you all to witness it. Can you abolish it? "

This time, Dong Zhuo came prepared. He took out the late emperor's edict and circulated it to everyone, with a seal on it.

The ministers were also a little shocked. They didn't expect that there was really an edict from the late emperor. Even if the edict could be a false edict, the seal on the edict was not. You must know that the imperial seal could not be found after the eunuchs took the emperor hostage and left the capital the day before yesterday. Even if Dong Zhuo takes control of the palace, it is impossible to produce it. In other words, is this edict true?

But the edict is true, but it does not mean that you, Dong Zhuo, are qualified to abolish the establishment. When it comes to family background, who among you is not higher than Dong Zhuo. Moreover, although Dong Zhuo has a reputation for bravery, he has no reputation for virtue. This is a matter of abolishing the establishment. , It cannot be done by a person who has both virtue and talent. No matter how brave you are, Dong Zhuo, how can you carry out such an act of abolishing the establishment?

Therefore, even though it was seen that the edict was true, no one responded to Dong Zhuo's words, and Dong Zhuo's face became gloomy.

Ding Yuan reached out and took the edict without looking at it carefully. He stood up and tore the edict into pieces in front of Dong Zhuo.

"Unbridled!" Dong Zhuo suddenly drew his sword and was about to kill Ding Yuan. Behind Ding Yuan, Lu Bu strode out and swung his sword to block Dong Zhuo's sword. Dong Zhuo was also a brave man with great physical strength, but at this moment he slashed with all his strength. A sword strike was struck back by Lu Bu lightly.

The armored soldiers all around suddenly stepped forward. Lu Bu's tiger eyes were swept away, and murderous intent was overflowing. The armored soldiers coming up from all around were weak and just surrounded, but no one dared to step forward.

"What a great general!" Chen Mo and Cao Cao, who were sitting in the back row watching the excitement, saw Lu Bu's performance and their eyes couldn't help but shine.

"Common man, who are you? What qualifications do you have to abolish and establish the throne? You are in Hedong, how could the late emperor's edict fall into your hands? This is obviously a false edict!"

Although Dong Zhuo was surprised by Lu Bu's strength, he was not afraid and said solemnly: "Now that the late emperor's edict is in hand, it is imperative to abolish the establishment. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will die!"

"Then you come and give it a try!?" Ding Yuan sneered. He also knew that this was Dong Zhuo's home court and it was not suitable to stay for a long time. He turned around and left directly with Lu Bu. Although the soldiers around him had been recruited by Dong Zhuo, they were not his confidants after all, and they were not allowed to stay for a long time. He dared to attack the celebrities present indiscriminately, not to mention Lu Bu's murderous intent, so he just watched the two of them leave.

Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the direction Ding Yuan was leaving, and stood up to leave.

"Benchu!" Dong Zhuo was already extremely angry because of Ding Yuan's incident. Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet and Yuan Shao was about to leave again, Dong Zhuo became even more angry: "I haven't spoken yet, how can I leave!?"

Yuan Shao looked at the soldiers around him who did not dare to step forward, and then looked at Dong Zhuo: "Isn't Mr. Dong the only hero in the world?"

Dong Zhuo was furious, and the ministers rushed to persuade him. However, Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao left one after another, and the banquet naturally ended again. However, Ding Yuan who left did not discuss it with Yuan Shao again this time. After returning to his camp, Ding Yuan summoned his troops He said: "Tie Dong is acting rebelliously. As officials of the Han Dynasty, how can we succumb to his lustful power? Zhang Liao, please immediately gather all your troops and follow me to kill the thief Dong!"

"Here!"

In fact, there is some selfishness. They are all generals who came together, and their military strength is about the same. Dong Zhuo can reach this stage, why can he, Ding Yuan, only be a king? Although the Forbidden Army was incorporated by Dong Zhuo, he has already seen it just now. , Dong Zhuo's order actually has a limited impact on the Forbidden Army. If we take this opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo, why can't Ding Yuan do what Dong Zhuo can do today?

As for Yuan Shao... Ding Yuan saw it yesterday, and Chen Mo was right. Yesterday was Yuan Shao's chance, but Yuan Shao hesitated. Since Yuan Shao didn't have the guts to touch Dong Zhuo, let him do it.

They were all generals, and Ding Yuan also came from a poor background. He climbed up the ranks step by step, and his ambitions were naturally high. He immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to fight Dong Zhuo.

"General!" Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Liao with envy, and then looked at Ding Yuan with a look of anticipation.

"Fengxian will also go out with me. In today's battle, with Fengxian here, the chance of victory will be greater!" Ding Yuan looked at Lu Bu and thought that the Xiliang army is also the strongest in the world, and he may not be able to take advantage of it. With Lu Bu here, the chance of victory will be greater! There was more, and he immediately agreed to Lu Bu to go with him on the expedition.

"Here!" Lu Bu's eyes flashed with excitement. He immediately took his Fang Tian Hua Ji and followed Ding Yuan on the expedition to challenge Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo put pressure on the officials for the second time, and he was fully prepared. But except for Ding Yuan, after the officials dispersed, You Zi was angry. Suddenly someone came to report, and Ding Yuan led the crowd to yell and curse outside the city!

"That's unreasonable!" Dong Zhuo said angrily, "Ding Yuan has gone too far to deceive others. Send me a military order to assemble the three armies. I will behead Ding Yuan with my own hands!"

After giving the instructions, Dong Zhuo called Hua Xiong again: "I will lead the people out of the city. You must be in charge of the imperial army without any mistakes. If anyone dares to seize the palace, don't care who he is, just kill him!"

Although angry, Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao left one after another. Dong Zhuo was worried that this was a plan by Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao, so he left Hua Xiong behind and led his elite to fight against Ding Yuan.

Here, when they heard that two foreign soldiers were about to fight, Chen Mo, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others had nothing to do, so they climbed up to the city to take a look. They saw two groups of men and horses starting to confront each other outside the city. Lu Bu held Fang Tian's painted halberd and led The cavalrymen clashed back and forth in the formation. Under the painted poles and halberds, there was almost no enemy.

At the same time, there was also a general outside the formation. Although he was not as brave as Lu Bu, he cooperated with Lu Bu internally and externally. The brave and capable Xiliang army was actually killed and retreated steadily.

"I don't think Ding Jianyang can train such a team?" Bao Xin said excitedly.

"This has nothing to do with Duke Jianyang." Chen Mo patted the female wall and shook his head: "Gong Jianyang has been serving as governor of Bingzhou for only one year. How can such a brave man become a governor in one year? And you see, Ling Qi It’s inconsistent with the cavalry’s attacking rhythm on the field, and there’s a lack of tacit understanding between the two sides!”

It was also Lu Bu and Zhang Liao who had been cooperating for many years. There was no need for rear command, and the command flags in the rear were a bit like decorations.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded and said, "Although Jianyang won this battle, it can be seen that he and the Bingzhou sergeant are not of the same mind. If Dong Zhuo cannot be killed today, the result will be worrying."

Bao Xin frowned when he heard this and said: "You two, come with me to see Benchu. You must convince Benchu ​​to join forces with us and kill the Dong thief in one fell swoop!"

Chen Mo and Cao Cao looked at each other and finally nodded. This time, I'm afraid it was their last chance. The three of them ignored the melee between the two armies outside the city and went straight to Yuan Shao's house.

Once Dong Zhuo was defeated, now was a good opportunity to take back Huang Quan and the granary. However, when the three of them arrived at Yuan's Mansion, they discovered that Yuan Shao had already signed up and left in the chaos.

"Who can make the decision now?" Chen Mo turned around, looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Is Yuan Ji feasible?"

Cao Cao shook his head. It's not that Yuan Ji is inferior to Yuan Shao, but that Yuan Shao has always been in charge of military power before. Now, even if Yuan Ji gathers troops and horses, he can't command them as freely as Yuan Shao.

"Then how about we each return to camp?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao and Bao Xin. It was just the three of them who took the troops to seize the palace. The troops were unknown. What Chen Mo was most afraid of was that he would seize the palace in the end without anyone. He came to help him, but instead invited Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan to jointly attack him. He would not do such a thing.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin sighed, but they had no other choice but to leave and wait and see what happened.
