Chapter 921: The Edict of the Cloth and Belt
"According to Elder Yang, what should we do now?" Wu Shuo asked quietly, he noticed that Dong Cheng had not made a sound, and knew that there must be something to follow.
Yang Biao smiled and took out five pieces of things from his arms and placed them on the table one by one, and the room immediately filled the room with a strong smell of blood. Wang Fu frowned, he was familiar with this smell.
It was the thumbs of five people, and judging by the blood stains on the severed wounds, they had just been cut off.
"This time, I've solved it for you, a total of five spies. Dong Gong, Xi Zhicai really attaches great importance to your birthday. Because he also knew that when Wang Yun conspired to kill Dong Zhuo, he used such an excuse. ”
This unremarkable, thin and old fox just recounted it so lightly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing. But the people present were all terrified - the owner of the five thumbs, I don't know what will happen?
Especially Wu Shuo, at this time, he no longer dared to look at Yang Biao: in front of him, he was just an immature and arrogant fool who was showing off his ignorance, and this almost like a slap in the face humiliation and bloody reality made Wu Shuo lose the courage of his whole body and completely surrender to Yang Biao's feet.
"There are more than 20 people going to Dong Gong's birthday banquet tonight, and these five spies have been waiting at a few exits outside, secretly counting to see which people come out last." Yang Biao glanced at Chongji, Wu Shuo and Wang Fu with a smile, making several of them feel a little furious in their hearts. "Fortunately, they were intercepted by me before they could return the report, so Xi Zhicai will not know who was involved in Dong Gong's major event for the time being."
Speaking of this, Yang Biao shook his head and showed regret on his face: "It's a pity that this move is to quench your thirst." We're safe tonight, but we'll find out until dawn at the latest. The accidental death of the five spies will make him more interested in the affairs of the Dong Mansion. If Jing Ancao wants to find out, he will definitely find out. ”
Everyone knows that Yang Biao is by no means exaggerating. But at the same time, they also realized that Yang Biao's subordinates definitely had an elite armament in their hands - quietly doing such a thing as Jing Ancao's spies was definitely not something that he, an old man, could do.
In this way, Yang Biao, an old fox, still has a lot of hole cards in his hand.
However, everyone was not dissatisfied with this, but was even more in awe of Yang Biao: Only under the leadership of a strong man can it be done. Servile thinking is evident in them.
Therefore, look at the same reverence in the eyes of all. Yang Biao then retracted his fingers, pinched the private talisman firmly, and looked at him: "So, this is also the reason why Dong Gong invited me to come today." Your Excellency, before the great thing is accomplished, please act according to my instructions, and do not discount at all. ”
Next, Yang Biao began to arrange matters, one by one, clearly and meticulously, and in an orderly manner, even considering how they would avoid their eyes and ears when they left the Dong Mansion for a while. Everyone admired: the descendants of the fourth world and the four princes, how strong is the family wealth? Now that I see it in person, it is even more so.
Half an hour later, Yang Biao finished explaining the last detail. At this time, it was already the middle of the moon, and the others said goodbye one after another, and each left the Cheqi General's Mansion with their own thoughts. After the people were gone, Dong Cheng instructed the servants to bring a pot of boiled tea and two bamboo cups, and let Yang Biao sit down on the opposite side.
"As soon as Yang Lao made a move, it was really extraordinary." Dong Cheng took a copper spoon and scooped it into Yang Biao's cup.
Yang Biao said: "If you don't come up with some real things, how can General Dong let the old man come?" It's just that the old man is on the verge of death, but he can't be .......idle in his old age," Dong Cheng heard this, and couldn't help sighing: "It's not that I don't want to let Mrs. Yang get rid of the sea of suffering, but now that the Han family is operating dismally, I can't afford to return to the sky, so I have to invite the old lady here." ”
Taiwei is one of the Three Princes, and Yang Biao once held this position. And Dong Cheng deliberately put forward the old name of 'Taiwei' at this time, obviously making a promise to Yang Biao.
However, Yang Biao was noncommittal about this title, and said after taking a sip of hot tea: "I just don't know Dong Gong, why did he fall in love with me, an old man, do you know, the dog is still serving under Ma Mengqi, such a relationship, don't provoke Dong Gongjiehuai?" ”
The Tai Wei said with a smile, since he dared to invite the Tai Wei to preside over the overall situation, he naturally wouldn't think much about it. As for the matter of Dezu, maybe it was also a deliberate arrangement of Lord Taiwei? Dong Cheng said, and filled Yang Biao with it.
"Forget it, the dog is uninhibited, and after Ma Mengqi has been trained for a few years, after seeing the wind and rain, he must be like an old man, and return to the mountains and forests. Don't involve him in these things. And the old man, this year, I also feel that my body is not as good as before, and I think after a while, I will have to resign and go into hiding. Yang Biao's eyes naturally showed a hint of added calf, and he said softly.
Dong Cheng listened to this and was silent. He knew that Yang Biao had already made it obvious: he just wanted to leave a good name for the Han family in the last term of his career. If he does this, no matter how turbulent the times will be in the future, he will also be powerless. At his age, what he wants more is to enjoy the joy of family, right?
In this regard, Dong Cheng is very convinced. In fact, Dong Cheng fought for power, wealth, and life, in order to leave a heavy mark in the history of the future in the future? As for Yang Biao's age, Dong Cheng hasn't thought about it yet.
Therefore, the two avoided the topic and chatted casually, and the tea in the pot slowly went more than halfway. Dong Cheng suddenly asked: "Elder Yang, what do you think are the chances of winning this time?" Yang Biao didn't think about it, and responded casually: "With today's trend, most of them are moths throwing fire." ”
"Oh? Why? Dong Cheng's eyelids only raised slightly.
"It's hard to stand alone, and now the Han family can't stand on its own with just a few of us old ministers. His Majesty has long been worried about this, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation in the early stage. However, this advantage must be well measured, once the heat is not enough or too much, it will not work at all. After that, it may repeat the disaster of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing; If it is not enough, it will let Cao Cao wipe us out. This matter is like a chestnut in the fire, and if you are not careful, you will be burned and the flesh will be opened......."
"Then why did Elder Yang step into this sea of fire?"
"Because, this matter seems to be difficult, but there is a silver lining." Yang Biao smiled meaningfully and continued: "If there is only one Liu Xuande, I really don't dare to deal with this matter, although this person has a high reputation, his means of fighting are not very good. However, Cao Cao is currently facing more than one Liu Xuande. ”
When Yang Biao said this, he slowed down his speech, pointed his slender fingers in all directions, and a hint of insight flowed from his lips: "With the prudence of Your Majesty and General Dong, you will never bet on Liu Xuande for this matter, presumably there is no other way to succeed." At least, if you want to appease Ma Mengqi in the east and Yuan Benchu in the north, it is estimated that it will give Cao Cao a headache. And if we draw all the eyes of the Quartet to Xu Du, then it is impossible for Cao Cao not to let go of His Majesty........"
Dong Cheng laughed, didn't say anything more, and held the cup with both hands, the steaming tea mist made his face a little blurred. And Yang Biao also smiled, his eyes were deep and wise, as if at this moment of secret words with Dong Cheng, he regained his ambition to guide the country and strategize, and his old body suddenly became a lot taller.
And all this happened in Xuchang's conspiracy, but it was like before the rainstorm, with little wind and no waves. Even Cao Cao, who was most concerned about this, didn't know anything about it. Only Ma Chao, who was thousands of miles away, seemed to see the clouds on Xuchang City across thousands of mountains and rivers.
How will the famous historical conspiracy and the edict incident be interpreted?
No one knows.......
