Chapter 12 Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, and Lu Bu
In March of the first year of the first peace, Xiliang Ma Tengbing commanded Fufeng, and his son Ma Chao led 3,000 criminal cavalry battalions into the city gate in the starry night, and his subordinates Pang De and Huang Yuansheng captured the county guard and 56 subordinates. Then the army of Ma Teng entered the city, and Fufeng County fell into the hands of thieves......
This Kuaima war report did not mention Cai Yong's fufeng incident, after all, Cai Yong's itinerary was not stipulated at all when he traveled and lectured, and it was completely a matter of excitement and exhaustion. At this time, after Dong Fatzi read this battle report, his face was flat, and he did not have the anger that is very easy to arise in ordinary times.
Li Ru stood on one side, his face was as calm as water, and he didn't seem to have great worries about one of the three auxiliary lands falling into the hands of thieves. The rest of the generals were either angry and wanted to speak, or kept silent, or asked to fight, but they all looked at Dong Zhuo's face and considered the words.
"After my father took power, the Kwantung rats did not break the sand and sink the halberd, and now they are the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and they are even more powerful in the imperial court. And naturally, Xiliang Xiao'er dared to forcibly seize Fufeng County and brush his father's tiger beard, which was really a provocative move. The child is not talented, and he is willing to lead his subordinates to go to the fire and drink for his father to win Ma Teng's head! ”
After the generals finished performing, Dong Zhuo did not say anything unusually. Until the end, the man in the golden helmet and brocade dress under the hall bowed down, clenched his fists and said goodbye.
This person is the iron halberd peerless, the Zhonglang generals Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian!
Dong Zhuo's face was originally unsurprised or happy, but when he saw that Lu Bu had bowed down to ask for war, the rough brows above the eyes of the hanging horns were inadvertently wrinkled, but it seemed that he had quickly woken up and immediately returned to normal. Even, there was a hint of warmth on Lu Bu. When he was about to speak, he saw that Li Ru in the hall had taken the lead in taking a step.
Lu Bu himself was not wearing armor, and was only wearing a pure white brocade robe. At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, and his bearing and killing power had been constricted and hidden a lot. But even so, although the brocade robe on his body was not as majestic as hunting in the wind, it was worn on his majestic body, giving people a metallic texture. The dazzling golden helmet on the top reflected the scarlet blanket in the hall, making the red skirt robe on the lower half of his body bright like the blazing hellfire, and on this lava-like blanket, like ten thousand fire snakes flying, his demeanor was magnificent and magnificent.
Coupled with his bronzed, axe-like face, his ferocious eyes like a night wolf, his cold pursed lips and the high bridge of his nose, the whole person was like a beast kneeling on the ground, and in the midst of its dormancy, it faintly concealed the aura of the generals.
But when Li Ru appeared, everyone seemed to sense a cold aura of maggots on tarsal bones, like shuddering when they were targeted by a poisonous snake hidden in the cave. But it was this feeling that made Lu Bu's fierce killing power seem to dissipate a little.
However, the generals present would rather Li Ru not appear, because the aura between the two collided instantly, making the generals have to experience the torture of the two heavens of ice and fire, which is extremely uncomfortable. Only Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the center like a demon king of the mixed world, had a smile in his eyes, and seemed to enjoy the open and secret battle between the two.
"Lord Taishan, General Lu's martial arts are superb, and his act of inviting war has shown the righteousness of his fists, and Confucianism is deeply admired. However, our army newly entered Chang'an at this time, and there were traitors and villains who did not know the meaning of Mount Tai's assistance, and there were rebellious ministers and thieves shouting for rebellion. In this situation, there should be no more sword soldiers. Li Ru finished saying this sentence lightly, and after glancing at Lu Bu, he immediately hid the light in his eyes and lowered his head.
"Why do you say that, sir? Since my father moved the capital to Chang'an, the trick of the Kwantung group of rats to kill King Liqin has become a laughing stock, and they have scattered as birds and beasts. Our army is at a time when its morale is soaring, and this time we will go to quell the chaos, and we will definitely be able to kill the thieves in one fell swoop, and show my father's might. Lu Bu still knelt on the ground, although his voice was hoarse like metal, but his face was upright, and Dong Zhuo's worries were clearly visible.
"General Lu didn't know that after our army moved the capital to Chang'an, the army had been divided into four places, and the generals of Xiangguo, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, etc., led the troops to garrison Anyi, Shaanxi County, and Huayin, in order to block the Kwantung heroes from advancing west into Chang'an. At this time, our army seems to be strong, but in fact, there are no available troops in Chang'an. Li Ru said these words to Lu Bu apologetically, but what he thought in his heart, outsiders did not know.
"There are also wolf riders under Bu, and Liang Ma Teng can only bow down!" Lu Bu was forced to have no choice, and finally had to say this.
But as soon as the words came out, Lu Bu knew that he was wrong: his Bingzhou Legion was originally collected from Ding Yuan. Dong Zhuo has secretly broken up the state legion several times and incorporated it into his henchman legion. At this time, when he said these words in front of everyone, didn't he remind Dong Zhuo that his subordinates were still in the hands of elite soldiers?
He had already surrendered to Dong Zhuo at this time, but he still had the wolf ride in his hands, which made Dong Zhuo think that he had any intentions?
Sure enough, after Dong Zhuo heard this, he faintly 'hummed' in his nostrils, and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on his obedient and chaotic face. But considering the presence of everyone, he did not attack in time. However, it was this small move that made the murderous Lu Bu lose his momentum and prostrate himself and stop talking.
"General Lu is crisscrossing the world, and the wolf riding in the state is roaring like the wind, which is the honor of our army. But if General Lu and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry also leave Chang'an, then who should protect the safety of Xiangguo and His Majesty......" Li Ru did not have the slightest intention of reproach, but just made this dialogue a final footnote. And everyone present, even a fool understood that it was impossible for Lu Bu to crusade against Ma Teng this time.
"My son is brave for the country, and his old man already knows his intentions. However, our army is indeed unable to handle it at present, and the matter of the crusade will be put on hold for the time being. However, the matter of Xiliang Ma Teng is imminent, I don't know if everyone has a good plan? Dong Zhuo waited for Li Ru to speak, and only opened his mouth to speak for the first time, although this fat man was only a ranger in Liangzhou before, but he was in his position and raised his spirit, and when he spoke at this time, he also had a bit of the demeanor of a national minister.
"Mount Tai is above, Confucianism has a strategy, which can make Xiliang Ma Teng bow his head and serve the front!" Li Ru didn't wait for everyone to argue this time, so he said his own strategy: "It's better to soothe than to soothe, Xiliang Ma Teng and our army went out of Liangzhou together, and it is the same vein." Moreover, Ma Teng rebelled against the Tieqiang League, and also rescued the people who were captured by the Qiang Hu of our Han Dynasty many times, which has shown that Ma Teng has the intention of joining the Han Dynasty. If Lord Taishan makes His Majesty make a decree, Feng Ma Teng is the general of Pingxi, sit in the town to support the wind, attack Qianghu in the north, retreat and rebel in the west, and make it a barrier in the west of my Han Dynasty, which will not only save the imperial court a lot of money and money for military horses, but also stabilize ......the west."
"Wen You's plan is very good!" Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed, intuition that his son-in-law was really wise, and any difficult things were not a problem for him. However, after Dong Zhuo laughed, the corners of his eyes jumped again, and he said suspiciously: "Ma Teng is really willing to accept such a soothing?" ”
Li Ru smiled, and he had already calculated in his heart: If Ma Teng didn't want to return to the imperial court, why would he go to great lengths to attack Gyeonggi Sanfu? It is obvious that he sees that his own Taishan has gained such power, and he also wants to get a piece of the pie.
"Lord Taishan, don't worry, there is a soldier under the Confucian Niu Auxiliary Account, who can speak skillfully and be resourceful, and I expect to send this person to live up to the mission!" Li Ru's eyes flashed again, and he didn't know what tricks he had made again.
"Okay, just according to Wenyou!" Dong Zhuo strode away, and from beginning to end, he didn't let Lu Bu, who was kneeling on the ground, get up.
And Lu Bu looked at the figures of Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, and his hands were clenched and white......
