353.Chapter 353
After Hao Zhao left, Chen Xu walked for a while, and suddenly stopped again, and said to a Chen disciple: "You take me to see Gongming with the military order, and let him lead the troops to impose martial law on the whole city!" ”
This Chen disciple was Chen Xu's personal soldier, and he also felt that something was serious. After receiving the order, he hurriedly went to convey the military order to Xu Huang.
Zhao Yun and Gao Shun's loyalty and ability are beyond doubt.
Xu Huang once served as Chen Xu's personal soldier and was also trustworthy. Chen Xu was worried that Dong Cheng really had a plot, and he was even more afraid that Lu Bu would have two ambitions, which was why he was so nervous.
Even if Chen Xu marries Lu Qiling, it is very difficult to completely control Lu Bu through her.
Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo learned from the past, and Chen Xu had to guard against it.
"Let's hope it's just a coincidence, or ......"
A cold light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, he didn't want something like this to happen when he hadn't stabilized Guanzhong.
"Qiling ......"
Secretly chanting Lu Qiling's name in his heart, Chen Xu's face was a little complicated.
Although he married Lu Qiling, it was to win over Lu Bu.
However, one day husband and wife hundred days. has been with Lu Qiling for so long, and Chen Xu also fell in love with that delicate and slightly willful little girl.
He really didn't want Lu Bu to have two ambitions, which would cause Lu Qiling to be in a dilemma on both sides.
"How can those who have achieved great things be bound by the private feelings of their children? If Lu Buguo really has two ambitions, I can only get rid of them. ”
Compared to the previous kindness, even indecision.
Now Chen Xu has completely begun to transform into a qualified hero. In addition to still having the world in mind and cherishing the people, his character has also slowly become a little unpredictable.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu shouted in a deep voice: "The whole army is advancing with me!" ”
Along the way, the people in the city, and even some ministers of the DPRK and China, were a little uneasy when they saw Chen Xu and others who were fully armed.
"Is there something going on in the city?"
In everyone's hearts, they are guessing so.
Chen Xu's series of orders made the entire Puban City completely under martial law, and Tian Feng and Jia Xu also felt inexplicable when they heard this.
He didn't dare to slack off, and after inquiring about Chen Xu's whereabouts, he rushed to Gan Ning's mansion.
Hao Zhao's lieutenant general, with the soldiers patrolling the city under his command, blocked between Lu Bu and Gan Ning, and said with an anxious face: "Two generals, the lord has issued an order not to fight selfishly, don't you make it difficult for the junior general to act like this?" ”
Gan Ning said: "This guy forcibly broke into my mansion, it was too deceitful. If I confess today, how will I gain a foothold in the army in the future? ”
Lu Bu also said angrily: "You know that General Dong and I are old friends, and you deliberately humiliate General Dong, Gan Ning deceived me Lu Bu The halberd in the hand of the sky is not good?" ”
Gan Ning said without showing weakness: "Dong Cheng's strong robbery of the people's daughters violated the order of the lord's general. I didn't take that guy away, I already gave you face. ”
"You rushed to the front of my mansion and deceived me Gan Ning for being incompetent? Or did you Lu Fengxian not drink enough water in Fenshui last time? ”
was exposed by Gan Ning's shortcomings, Lu Bu was even angrier in his heart, he lifted Fang Tian's halberd, pushed away Hao Zhao's adjutant, and was about to step forward to fight with Gan Ning.
"General, don't act rashly!"
Seeing this, Adjutant Hao Zhao was even more anxious, he hugged Lu Bu and shouted loudly.
Gan Ning's eyes shrank, facing the angry Lu Bu, on the land, Gan Ning was somewhat weak-hearted. After all, he had already seen Lu Bu's bravery, and in a land battle, Gan Ning had no chance of winning at all.
"Get out of here!"
Lu Bu kicked the adjutant to the ground.
He is an arrogant and unruly person, with a very tyrannical temperament, and Lu Bu is even more angry in his heart for Gan Ning who has angered him many times.
If it weren't for the concern that Gan Ning was also a general under Chen Xu, and he was extraordinary, I am afraid that he would have killed Gan Ning a long time ago.
was exposed by Gan Ning's shortcomings, and Lu Bu lost his mind a little angrily. In addition, some time ago, he made great achievements for Chen Xu, and he was also a little carried away.
Therefore, he didn't care so much, and directly shot at Hao Zhao's adjutant.
Lu Bu's strength was so great that Adjutant Hao Zhao was kicked to the ground by him, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.
Those soldiers led by Hao Zhao to maintain order in the city were suddenly furious. They all drew their weapons and surrounded Lu Bu.
"Presumptuous, do you want to commit the following crimes?"
The adjutant who was kicked to the ground by Lu Bu had a gloomy face.
He held back the pain and said to the soldiers under his command: "We are entrusted by the lord to maintain order in the city. If anyone dares to disobey the orders of the lord, there will be no forgiveness! ”
At this time, he was completely open-minded, and he no longer cared about Lu Bu's identity and bravery. He didn't believe that Lu Bu dared to openly kill people.
Hearing the words of the adjutant general, the soldiers under his command looked at Lu Bu even more fiercely, without the slightest fear in their hearts.
Surrounded by those soldiers, Lu Bu was even more angry, and he shouted: "A group of ants dare to stop me!" ”
After speaking, he was ready to do it.
"Presumptuous!"
Lu Bu was about to make a move, when he suddenly heard a loud shout, he turned his head to look, only to find that Chen Xu was walking quickly with hundreds of heavily armed soldiers.
When Gan Ning saw Chen Xu coming, he was also overjoyed.
He was really afraid that Lu Bu would kill people desperately. Then, it was he Gan Ning who indirectly killed these people.
"The last general has seen the lord!"
Vice Generals Gan Ning and Hao Zhao saw Chen Xu coming over and hurriedly saluted.
"I've seen the lord!"
All the soldiers present also saluted Chen Xu.
Only Lu Bu, relying on his identity as Chen Xu's uncle, stood proudly.
Dian Wei, who was beside Chen Xu, suddenly shouted: "Bold Lu Bu, when you see the lord, you still don't salute!" ”
Lu Bu sneered twice and said, "I am an elder of Wenzhao, even if I don't practice the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, what's the matter? ”
Dian Wei was immediately furious, pointed at Lu Bu with a halberd and said, "You are so rude! ”
Chen Xu stretched out his right hand, grabbed Dian Wei, who was about to go crazy, and asked Lu Bu, "Why did you lead people to block the door of Xingba?" ”
Lu Bu looked angry and said: "Gan Ning, knowing that Dong Cheng is my old friend, still bullies Uncle Dong Guo, it's just too much of a bully!" ”
Squinting his eyes slightly, Chen Xu put his eyes on Gan Ning and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Gan Ning hurriedly replied: "Lord Mingjian, the last general only saw Dong Chengqiang robbing the people's daughters, so he acted angrily, and he had no intention of targeting General Lu. There were many people present at that time, and they could all testify for the general. ”
Chen Xu actually knew the ins and outs of the matter, he pretended to be surprised and looked at Dong Cheng and said, "Robbing the people's daughters? ”
Dong Cheng was a little furious when Chen Xu saw it, and retorted in a low voice: "I just want to accept that woman as a concubine, and I have no other meaning." ”
Gan Ning sneered and said: "Uncle Dong Guo is really a great official, which woman do you like and want to take it away forcibly without the consent of others?" ”
Dong Cheng knew that this was the truth, so he had no way to quibble, so he simply stiffened his neck and said, "The Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, who is not acting like this?" ”
"Don't say that I haven't snatched this woman away, and even if I do, I'm just a pariah. And I will also provide her with food and clothing, so why bother with this kind of thing? ”
Dong Cheng's words are not unreasonable.
The ethos of this era is that the powerful can often act recklessly. As long as it doesn't provoke the anger of the heavens and people, the people in power will not be too strict.
What's more, the status of women is already low, let alone in this troubled world where the people are like mustard.
"Hehe, it seems that Uncle Guo's family is really rich!"
Chen Xu's smile was a little cold, and he said to Hao Zhao's lieutenant general: "The order I issued some time ago oppressed the good and robbed the people's daughters, what crime should I be guilty of?" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the adjutant replied: "Depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, they will be punished by fines, marches with flails, imprisonment, and beheading." ”
Chen Xu said: "Uncle Dong Guo, as an important minister of the imperial court, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime is added to the first degree. ”
"Since you are the deputy general in charge of law and order in the city, you should deal with it impartially. Why don't you take this man down and take off his shirt and shackle to parade? ”
When the adjutant general heard Chen Xu's words, he hurriedly said to the soldier beside him: "Why are you still stunned, go and use this person in a wooden flail!" ”
"No!"
The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and responded with a bang.
When Dong Cheng saw those soldiers rushing towards him, he immediately panicked and shouted loudly: "I am a relative of the emperor, you must not act like this!" ”
Chen Xu sneered: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that you are just a little relative?" ”
Seeing that Chen Xu didn't give him the slightest face, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, and he said, "Wen Zhao ......"
Before Lu Bu's words were finished, he heard Chen Xu's voice: "The injuries on his body, but you did it?" ”
Chen Xu pointed at Hao Zhao's lieutenant and directly interrupted Lu Bu's words.
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment and said, "This person has committed the following crimes, why not teach him a lesson?" ”
Seeing Lu Bu's attitude, Chen Xu secretly sighed in his heart: "It seems that Lu Bu still can't change his temperament." ”
Historically, Lu Bu first voted for Yuan Shu, because he was very arrogant and plundered because of his own merits, so he was not tolerated by Yuan Shu.
Later, he defected to Yuan Shao and repeatedly defeated the Montenegrin army, so he was arrogant and arrogant on his merits, looked down on Yuan Shao's generals, and asked Yuan Shao to give him more soldiers.
Yuan Shao hated Lu Bu in his heart for this, so he sent someone to kill him, but Lu Bu escaped with his life.
In this era, Lu Bu has been subjected to all kinds of suppression since he defected to Chen Xu. In addition, Chen Xu's fierce generals are like clouds, and Gan Ning has repeatedly made Lu Bu deflated.
Therefore, Lu Bucai gradually put away his arrogance.
But this time, Lu Bu led his troops to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, welcomed back the hundred officials, and relied on the fact that he was Chen Xu's uncle, and began to become arrogant again.
He also has no reverence for Chen Xu, a junior.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The sound of neat footsteps came, and I saw Gao Shun leading the soldiers of the trapping camp to seal off all the streets in front of Gan Ning's mansion.
