Chapter 59 Xiliang Dong Zhuo
Smart people will choose to correct their mistakes as soon as they make mistakes, and stupid people will often use a bigger mistake to cover up their previous mistakes.
Han Dynasty, the sixth year of Zhongping, the seventh day of the sixth month of June, the uncle Dong Chong suddenly hanged himself, and when the courtiers were discussing, an even more shocking news came, the general He Jin contacted a group of dead friends to write a letter, on the grounds that the Empress Dowager Dong was originally a concubine and should not live in the inner palace for a long time, please place the Dong family in the river!
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
As we all know, because Emperor Huan had no children back then, he welcomed Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, who was born in the side lineage, into the succession, and then, the mother was expensive with her son, and the Dong family was also able to rank in the supreme position of the empress dowager of a country, and now He Jin openly belittled the Empress Dowager Dong as a concubine, which is essentially tantamount to questioning the legitimacy of the throne of Emperor Ling of Han, so what should the current little emperor Liu Wei say? The emperor's own grandmother is a concubine, so this excuse to shake the foundation of the society is what He Jin's pig brain came up with, it is really lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot!
The next day, the eighth day of the sixth month, the sky over Luoyang City was cloudy, this day was the day when the Empress Dowager Dong was forced out of the palace, under He Jin's high-pressure means, not only the outer court was suppressed silently, even the inner court also surprisingly cooperated, the 'Ten Standing Attendants' and others arranged the Dong family out of the palace very smoothly, as if they had been prepared in advance. It is said that 'the phoenix that falls on the shelf is not as good as a chicken', in the same way, the heavenly characters in distress are even worse than ordinary people, the infinite scenery before is long gone, a half-old palace car driven by two horses, two old palace maids, plus several weak eunuchs, this is all the honor guards.
Dong, who was deprived of the title of Empress Dowager, became a helpless ordinary old woman at this time, unable to do anything except wail a few times in the direction of the mausoleum of the first emperor; Escorted by a team of soldiers and horses with sharp blades, the team set off from the north gate of the palace and headed towards the destination river.
"Minister, King Situ is allowed to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager!" A few drops of rain fell, wetting the face of the old minister of the Han Dynasty, I couldn't tell whether it was water or tears, and the last time I knelt and bowed three times and bowed to the monarch and minister, for all this that happened, Wang Yun can be said to be powerless, now sitting on the throne is no longer Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he is a courtier of the Han family, he can only be loyal to the current emperor, no matter who is sitting on the dragon chair, as long as he is still the emperor of the Liu family, he has to do the duty of a courtier, this is a loyal minister! It is the emperor who is loyal, and the one who is loyal is the great Han country!
That night, at the back door of the General's Mansion, a team of people dressed in robes were quietly traveling, the leader was slender, masked with black veil, only revealing a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, looking back at the General's Mansion, 'Zimu Gongzi' smiled coldly, everything was in his plan, as soon as Uncle Dong Zhong died, there was an endless situation between his relatives He and Dong, so who should be the next immortal? He shook the long sword at his waist, urged the mount under his crotch, and then led his men to chase down in the direction of the river......
A few days later, the news came that the Empress Dowager Dong, who went out of the palace to live in the river, died of illness on the way because of 'unaccustomed to water and soil', and was buried as a concubine of the harem;
Some things are no longer about listening to words, but about people's hearts!
The heavens wept, and it rained heavily for three days and three nights! The rain washes away the dust in the air, but it can't wash away the sorrow in people's hearts!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Michi, on the wide official road, the brigade of men and horses are marching, dusty, people shouting and neighing, winding before and after more than ten miles, there are tens of thousands of people, looking at the soldiers in the team or cold, or fiery eyes, as well as their calloused tiger mouth, you can get the Tao, this is a battle, experienced blood and fire of the elite soldiers.
At the forefront of the team, on a black background and white five-foot square flying tiger handsome flag, a big 'Dong' word fluttering in the wind, under the banner, a horse driving the Yuan Rong chariot is driving smoothly, above the chariot, there is a driver in front of the driver, each station in the four corners has a fully armed, hand-held steel knife of the dead guard, in the middle of the sitting is the famous Xiliang Thorn Shi Dong Zhuo!
Dong Zhuo is more than fifty years old this year, a fat face is full of beard, his eyes are slightly open, his eyes are full of water, fire, knife and frost, his figure is also very fat, but he is by no means bloated, he is wearing a large-leaf gold armor, shining in the sun, and a short knife hangs from his waist, which is obviously not an ordinary thing; As a general with troops, the perennial campaign has allowed him to maintain the true character of a soldier, and now he can still ride a fierce horse, open a hard bow, and shoot left and right!
In the distance, a burst of dust and smoke rose, two messengers with dusty faces were hurrying forward, two people, but with a dozen horses, one round on the other side of the ride, as long as the horsepower is a little lacking, immediately replaced, the clever messenger does not even need to dismount, on the horseback jump, can complete the action of changing horses, so day and night, sleepless, can ensure that in the shortest possible time to transmit emergency information in place.
When he came to him, two tired messengers, one fainted directly on the horse's back, and the other was half-dead, and the other shook his body, and planted his head on the horse's back, but he still did not forget to raise the herald letter on his body, and immediately a soldier ran up, first took the letterbox, and then hurriedly lifted the two, pinched the people, slapped them, and poured water; The military law of the Xiliang soldiers is harsh, and Dong Zhuo is even more brutal, anyone who delays the military plane, no matter who it is, will not be spared, so he took the messenger on this errand, even if he is not tired to death on horseback, he must take off a layer of skin!
"Lord, Luoyang urgent!" After a while, a scribe in his thirties came to the chariot, it was Dong Zhuo's favorite general Li Ru, this person is also a member of the Xiliang army, martial arts are very ordinary, but the strategy is outstanding, acting as a think tank in the army, and the use of tactics has always been ruthless and practical, for the sake of the goal, often unscrupulous means, so the deep Dong Zhuo favored the letter, recruited him as a son-in-law, regarded as a confidant.
"Read!"
"The general He Jin sent the Empress Dowager Dong to the river, and sent people to kill him halfway, and all the officials complained!" After reading the letterhead in his hand, Li Ru's face showed a hint of joy, "Now that the chaos in Luoyang City has been revealed, the Lord Justice can take this opportunity to show his skills and achieve great things!" ”
"What's the best plan, just come!" Sitting on the chariot, Dong Zhuo's words were unhurried and seemed to be very calm, but it could be seen from the hand that grasped the handle of the knife that at this time, his heart was probably already surging, as a local assassin, he could have the opportunity to directly intervene in the central government's national affairs, and no one could not be unmoved, not to mention the benefits that followed, but they could not be imagined in their dreams.
"Now Luoyang City is under the strong pressure of He Jin's hand covering the sky, it seems to be calm, and no one dares to spread gossip anymore, but in fact, it is secretly turbulent, although the 'Ten Standing Servants' are at a disadvantage for a while, but the eunuch power is deep-rooted, and the hidden power is still not to be underestimated. The current strategy is to stir up the water in this pool and expose everything lurking underneath! ”
"And how do you stir up this pool?" Looking at the army behind him, Dong Zhuo's heart was extremely full, with these tens of thousands of strong soldiers in hand, he dared to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den!
In the final analysis, this world is about strength!
"Hehe, this matter is very easy, the lord only needs to put on a seal, and it must be a clear table, so that everyone in Luoyang City knows that the lord should be invited by He Jin to lead troops into Beijing this time, that is, 'punish the evil and evil, the Qing Dynasty program!' In this way, the 'Ten Standing Servants' dog jumped under the wall in a hurry, and the contradiction between the general He Jin will inevitably intensify immediately, it is best to let them kill each other, and in the end, no matter who kills whom, the lord can be the 'profiting fisherman!' ’
Speaking of this, Li Ru stroked the long beard on his chest, looked south, and continued thoughtfully, "But this matter is sooner rather than later, if the situation changes today, the eyes of all walks of life are staring at Luoyang City, and there must be many people who want to take advantage of the fire inside, and the lord must strike first!" ”
"Hah! Ha! …… This is exactly what I want, pass on my general order, let General Zhang Ji command the cavalry brigade to speed up with me, day and night, go straight to Luoyang, the rest of the departments, and then follow up! Dong Zhuo pulled out his knife violently in his hand, the two-foot-long knife body was surrounded by blue light, and the cold air was pressing, obviously a divine blade that cut gold and jade; At the handle of the iron pomegranate, there is an eye-catching bull head logo engraved on it, and there are two red seals with the inscription "Seven Kills"!
"No! ……”
The military order is like a mountain!
With a rapid horn sound, the huge marching team was immediately divided into two parts, Xiliang has been a place to produce war horses since ancient times, so the number of cavalry in the Xiliang army has always been the crown of the Han Dynasty, and soon, a light cavalry with a number of about seven thousand, surrounded by Dong Zhuo's car, broke away from the brigade, and rushed up on the avenue at the speed of a rapid march, the goal, straight to Luoyang!
