Lü Bu and Cheng Yu led a thousand cavalry into Keiguan, collected the 2,000 soldiers who were brought out by Zhu Jun, and then led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Hanoi County.

Along the way, although the drought is still there, Hanoi County is obviously much more prosperous than Ha Dong County. Not only that, but the army marched all the way without encountering a single bandit.

The local security under Wen Zhao's rule can be said to be the crown of the princes. Hanoi County was acquired by Wen Chao early, so the security here is naturally good.

Cheng Yu rode on the war horse, sneered slightly, and said: "What else do you say that bandits are rampant in Hanoi County, I have traveled all the way, but I found that people everywhere live and work in peace and contentment, where are bandits rampant?" ”

Lu Bu also nodded fiercely, and said with an unhappy face: "Some officials in Hanoi County really deserve to die. I thought I could move my muscles and bones, but I didn't expect to travel all the way without encountering a single thief. ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry about Wen Hou, when the time comes, Wen Hou will definitely be killed!" It's just that such a thing, unless it is a close confidant of the lord, will definitely not be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. ”

Lu Bu laughed twice and said, "I am the uncle of the lord, so naturally I have the same heart as him." As early as when I was in Chang'an, I had already seen that those officials in the DPRK and China were not pleasing to the eye. ”

"If it is really found out that they have two ambitions, they will definitely not show mercy!"

Cheng Yu pulled the reins with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, with a bright smile on his face.

The sunset in the sky reflects the sunset into a red color, covering the entire sky, which looks extremely beautiful and enchanting.

In Pusaka City, Dong received a letter from Hanoi County, and he was immediately frightened.

He secretly summoned the general prince and said to him: "General Wang, first the hussar general died, and now the Chen thief has sent Cheng Yu and Lu Bu to Hanoi County to kill eight wealthy families in Hanoi County and a total of 853 people from their clansmen for the crime of rebellion. ”

"Now the wealthy families of the entire Hanoi County are all terrified. I even got the news that the thief Chen had found us, and the evidence of fornication with the wealthy families of Hanoi County would be done to us when Cheng Yu and Lu Bu returned to Beijing. ”

Wang Zifu was immediately shocked and complained: "I didn't want to do these small actions at the beginning, but you insisted on pulling me into the water. Now that he is retaliating, the means are so ruthless, but how is it good? ”

Dong Cheng was also like a headless fly, walking back and forth in the room. The panic in his heart was no worse than the prince's suit.

Originally, he just wanted to support Zhu Jun to leave Pusaka and gain some military power. But he didn't expect that Chen Xu's revenge was so fierce.

In fact, Dong Cheng's actions are just some people in the DPRK and China, who are fueling the troubles behind the scenes.

They wanted to use Dong Cheng to test Wen Zhao's bottom line. In the final analysis, Dong Cheng is just a poor pawn.

After walking back and forth in the house for a long time, Dong Cheng suddenly gritted his teeth and said to the prince's clothes: "Thief Chen is extremely vicious, if I wait to be killed, I will definitely be harmed." ”

"Since he doesn't give me a way to live, I'll just stop doing it, kill the thief, and replace it 1"

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng had a crazy look on his face.

Wang Zifu was taken aback, and said: "Thief Chen's soldiers are strong and strong, how can we be his opponents?" ”

Dong Cheng sneered twice and said, "Back then, the Taishi was also a strong soldier, and he was not killed in an instant?" As long as we get rid of the thief, then ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to pardon the remnants. ”

"Then, we can use both grace and power to seize the soldiers and horses under the command of Chen Thief."

General Wang imagined that Lü Buwei enjoyed glory and wealth because he had Zichu, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition. If we kill Thief Chen and replace him, I will be the second in Lu Buwei. ”

Wang Zifu was a little moved, but he still said hesitantly: "The Chen thief is very strict in supervision, and I and others have not raised many domestic slaves and dead soldiers. General Dong is in Pusaka, is there anyone who can use it? ”

Dong Chengdao: "Although we don't dare to raise a large number of domestic slaves, there are dozens of people in each family. Now that the thief Chen indulged Lu Bu and killed so many wealthy families in Hanoi County, he has completely offended a group of ministers in the court. ”

"If we secretly join forces and gather all the private soldiers in our family, there are four or five hundred people. Then invite the Chen thief to the banquet, and many soldiers will besiege him, and he will be able to successfully kill the Chen thief. ”

Wang Zifu's eyes also radiated excitement, and he lowered his voice and said, "This matter must be done confidentially, and don't leak the slightest." Otherwise, we will all die without a place to be buried! ”

Dong Cheng nodded vigorously, and began to discuss the specific details of the matter with Wang Zifu.

Let's say that Wen Zhao was in the general's mansion, and after receiving Cheng Yu's letter, he was immediately furious.

He scolded: "If I hadn't taken Hanoi County earlier, I would have done my best to build and develop and prevent drought." Either they were wiped out by the Xiliang Army, or they had no harvest and were hungry everywhere. ”

"Now because of me, your family has grown. Not only are you not grateful, but you do this, which is really a punishment! Be punished! ”

Li Ru took the document in Wen Zhao's hand, and after reading it, he was also silent.

For Wen Zhao's mood, no one understands it better than Li Ru. Just like Dong Zhuo at the beginning, he tried his best to win over those scholars and celebrities, but those who were promoted by him turned against him.

If it weren't for this, Dong Zhuo would not have been so brutal and killed the Yuan family.

In comparison, what is the small fight of those big clans in Hanoi County? They just sent their private soldiers to rob around for a while, pretending to be bandits, so as to create an excuse for Zhu Jun to lead his troops to Hanoi County.

At first, Wen Zhao thought that only a few families in Hanoi County had an affair with Dong Cheng. But he didn't expect that most of the wealthy families in Hanoi County were involved in this operation.

There are no less than 30 famous families in the eight Hanoi counties, and there are no less than 30 officials in the court who have a relationship with them. In addition, there are nearly 100 officials who have been placed as local officials by these people.

With such a huge force, it is no wonder that Wen Zhao is so angry.

Tian Feng and Jia Xu were silent, but Li Ru said: "Now is a world of great controversy, and heroes are everywhere in the world. These people do not know the destiny of heaven, they cannot see the situation clearly, and they are really people with a blind eye. ”

"What does it matter if there are ten times more enemies like this? Don't worry, as long as you plan properly this time, you will definitely be able to make all of them fall to the ground. The ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China will never dare to go against the lord again! ”

Speaking of this, Li Ru had a cruel smile on his face. Because of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru did not have a good impression of the Manchu Dynasty at all.

As for the Manchu Dynasty, the more he died, the happier Li Ru became.

Tian Feng said: "It's okay to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey." However, if you kill too much, I am afraid that it will provoke criticism and damage your reputation. ”

Jia Xu just squinted his eyes slightly and remained silent.

Li Ru said: "Yuan Hao's words are wrong, he is an anti-country traitor, everyone will be punished, why not kill him?" ”

Chen Xu also nodded and said: "Wen You's words are good, these people connived at the private soldiers and doormen at home, became bandits and robbed everywhere, and even brutally killed the hussar general, and it is difficult for the people to be angry if they don't kill." ”

Glancing at Wen Zhao, Tian Feng secretly sighed in his heart and stopped talking.

For Wen Zhao's transformation, he really didn't know whether to be happy or how. In the past, Wen Zhao, although he was a little indecisive, was a rare benevolent master.

Now what he does is even unscrupulous as long as it is to achieve the goal. This is completely a quality that only a generation of heroes have.

The benevolent lord is certainly worthy of respect, but the hero can go further in the troubled times. Comparing the two, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After everyone left, a personal soldier came in and handed Wen Zhao an invitation. When Wen Zhao saw the name of the payment, he knew that the person who sent the invitation was Dong Cheng.

After tearing off the envelope and reading the contents inside, Wen Zhaocai muttered to himself: "Concubine Dong Guifei is pregnant with His Majesty's child, so Dong Cheng sent an invitation to invite the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials to the banquet?" ”

After thinking for a while, Wen Zhao had a strange smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "Dong Cheng, seeing that his daughter has a dragon seed, his tail will go up to the sky." ”

"But then again, he has to invite all the officials in the court, it seems that there must be a lot of money and food in that house!"

With a light chuckle, Wen Zhao said to the pro-soldier: "If it's for other reasons, I can ignore Dong Cheng's puppet." However, since Your Majesty has a queen, and I am a courtier, I have to go to this banquet. ”

"You prepare a generous gift for me, and I'll bring it to the banquet in the evening."

When the soldiers received the order, they went out to prepare gifts.

That night, Dong Cheng's mansion was very noisy, and the officials of the court and the central government came in and out, so it was not lively.

Wen Zhao took a generous gift, led Dian Wei and dozens of personal soldiers, and went to Dong Cheng's mansion in civilian clothes. Although Wen Zhao was a general of the dynasty, he would not have put on heavy armor if it wasn't for wartime.

What's more, he came today to celebrate the Son of Heaven, and he shouldn't have worn armor to ruin the atmosphere.

As soon as Wen Zhao came to the door of Dong Cheng's mansion, he saw Dong Cheng greeting the officials with a smile on his face.

After he saw Wen Zhao, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The general can also take time to come to the banquet in his busy schedule, Cheng really feels brilliant." ”

Wen Zhao also smiled and said: "Uncle Dong's daughter is pregnant with the dragon seed, so that the Son of Heaven has a descendant and a successor to the Han Dynasty." How dare I not come to such a big event? ”

Dong Cheng laughed twice and said, "General, please come in quickly!" ”

Wen Zhao didn't see outside, and led Dian Wei and the others to go in. But he didn't want to, Dong Cheng suddenly stopped, and looked at Dian Wei and the others with a sad face.

Wen Zhao asked with some consternation, "Uncle Guo, what's wrong?" ”

Dong Cheng said Ai Ai: "The little girl has to be favored by His Majesty to be able to conceive the dragon seed, which is a great joy." ”

"What's more, the Son of Heaven is also going to come to the banquet, General Dian Wei and the general's personal soldiers, fully armed, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Wen Zhao was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "It's because I didn't think it through, Awei, you can take these brothers and stay outside first." ”

Dong Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought: "Chen Thief He should die here!" ”
