Chapter 284: The Death of He Miao (Part 1)

Updated: 2013-06-09

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still the face in the court, Jia Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dong Zhuo's face calmed down a lot, and he laughed loudly. He passed by a restaurant in the city. The two of them got out of the horse. All the guests who had not finished their meal were dispersed by their followers. The restaurant shopkeeper was determined to come forward to blame him. After seeing Dong Zhuo's appearance, he immediately turned to joy. Dong Zhuo Jia Rong would attract much attention when he entered the city. The restaurant shopkeeper remembered it after meeting him.

The restaurant shopkeeper kept flattering behind the two, and Jia Rong said impatiently: "Pick up the best meals and the best wine."

The shopkeeper leaned over and hurried away. This was just a small restaurant. How could he see any noble officials? It was just some people from the market who came to eat and drink. When they first saw Jia Rong and Dong Zhuo and such officials, they were naturally overjoyed.

The two of them talked about the situation in the court in the restaurant. The biggest obstacle now is the military power in the hands of the aristocratic family and the army in the hands of He Miao. As long as these two are settled, there will be basically no difficulties. There will be no situation like today. Both of them know it.

Dong Zhuo said: "I will leave He Miao to me, and the Xiyuan Army will be handed over to Zhiyuan. I hope that next time, no official in the court will dare to accuse him, hahaha..."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Do your best."

"Are we a little anxious?" Jia Rong picked up the wine cup and asked lightly.

Dong Zhuo said: "But I'm a little anxious. It seems that the time has not come. Today, the court made those corrupt scholars joke about it for nothing. I was a little angry when I thought about it. But since I have turned against each other, there is no way to go. Does Zhiyuan regret it?"

Jia Rong laughed and said, "The general is such a bad word. Those corrupt scholars in the court want to get cramps and skin when they see me. I am still waiting for the officials in the court to look submissive. These officials are pampered in Luoyang, and only know how to cheat and give them some trouble."

Dong Zhuo understood and let out a happy laugh.

After the two separated, Jia Rong immediately rushed to the military camp in the city. During this extraordinary period, the safest in the army was the army. With three thousand cavalry guards, you could walk sideways in Luoyang City. Living in the Hero Tower was just a cover for Jia Rong.

In the evening that night, the closed door of the General's Mansion opened a thin crack, and a black shadow rushed out and headed straight for the military camp in the city.

"Report to General, one of them claimed to be the captain of the Northern Army came to ask for a visit." The messenger walked into the house and knelt on one knee and bowed to his knees.

Dong Zhuo said lightly, "Oh" and each of the five Northern Army schools is a large official with a rank of two thousand stones. It is not necessarily worse than himself, the governor of Bingzhou, and it is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Let him come in."

After a cup of tea, a general led the commander to the position of the central army.

The general was quite tactful. After seeing Dong Zhuo, he bowed respectfully and said, "Infantry Captain Wu Kuang greets the Lord." As the name suggests, the infantry captain is in charge of infantry.

Seeing that Wu Kuang was quite polite, Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction. Now he was at the foot of the emperor. Maybe a soldier guarding the city gate was a relative of a minister, and a state governor had to be careful when he arrived here. It has been a long time since I saw someone like Wu Kuang who flattered like him. Dong Zhuo was in a good mood, so who wouldn't want to listen to more good things?

"Tell me, what's wrong with you here?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Wu Kuang bowed again and said, "Former General He Jin is well-known and used, and has a high prestige in the army. Unexpectedly, he was planned by eunuchs in the palace. It was a misfortune of the country. Yuan Shu, the general of the Tiger Ben and the Sili School Captain Yuan Shao led the soldiers into the palace and killed the eunuchs. This move was very popular."

Dong Zhuo patiently continued to listen to Wu Kuang's nagging.

"After his brother's death, He Miao, not only did not want to avenge him, but instead spent every night in the mansion. Bei Zhi once suspected that the death of the former general had a great relationship with He Miao. It was no longer a new thing for the two brothers to be in Luoyang. After the death of the general, our generals repeatedly advised He Miao to lead everyone to avenge the general. Unexpectedly, He Miao not only refused, but also demoted several generals who had advised him."

Wu Kuang cleared his throat and continued, "Finally one night, Bei Zhi accidentally heard the discussion of several maids in He Miao's mansion and understood the whole story. It turned out that He Miao, a traitor, had an affair with eunuchs, which led to the death of the general in the palace. After Bei Zhi received this news, he couldn't sleep at night and finally waited for the general's arrival."

Wu Kuang bowed to the ground in tears: "I hope the general can avenge the general."

After hearing Wu Kuang's statement, Dong Zhuo showed a contemplative look on his face. It was hard to determine that He Miao was the one who killed He Jin, after all, it was what the maid in the mansion said. However, at such an extraordinary moment, a small fuse was enough to affect the situation in Luoyang. If Dong Zhuo did not understand the grasp, he would be a fool.

Dong Zhuo had already secretly hated He Miao for repeated criticism in the court.

It was also Wu Kuang who received his kindness during He Jin's lifetime, otherwise he would not have been in a position like one of the five Northern Army schools. After He Jin's death, He Miao became a general, and Wu Kuang naturally became under his command. However, He Miao, a man who did not stand Wu Kuang's actions and repeatedly suppressed them. Wu Kuang was resentful. After learning that Dong Zhuo and He Miao were not in harmony, they immediately came to express their loyalty. On that day, Dong Zhuo led the cavalry into the city, and his majestic appearance outside the city had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wu Kuang predicted that it would not be too bad to follow Dong Zhuo, so he came to join him at night.

"All nonsense is a matter of nonsense. You, a small lieutenant, can criticize you. If these words come to the general's ears, you will definitely be unable to die." Dong Zhuo said sternly.

Wu Kuang had never suffered such intimidation. He immediately bowed to the ground and did not dare to speak. Sweat was flowing from his forehead.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo was secretly happy. Wu Kuang's incompetent behavior just showed that this person was easy to control and could be used with a little, so that he would be easier to take over the troops under He Miao.

"But the general has the kindness of promoting me, and I cannot die without understanding. This matter must be investigated, even He Miao cannot do it." Dong Zhuo said in a turn of his tone.

How could Wu Kuang not understand the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words? He also stood up and said, "What the general said is very, you must check it carefully."

Dong Zhuo stared at Wu Kuang with bright eyes and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in He Miao's hands? Where are they placed, and how many soldiers and horses are there in He's mansion to guard him."

After a little thought, Wu Kuang said, "He Miao had about 10,000 soldiers and horses. He was placed in the schoolyard next to the Nangong. There were about 1,000 cavalrymen and well-equipped. There were no soldiers guarding the He Mansion, only some servants, about 1,000 people."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "You go back now and mobilize soldiers who are loyal to you. I will also order all my troops to gather in He's mansion. In the army, we must promote more about the incident that He Miao had an affair with the eunuch and killed He Jin. After the matter is completed, there will be many rewards."

Wu Kuang showed joy when he heard this, and he held his fists and left.

After Wu Kuang left, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "He Miao, He Miao, it seems that your death is coming." Thinking of the Xiliang Army in the city, Dong Zhuo's mouth showed an undetectable smile. After taking over the soldiers of He Miao, Dong Zhuo's army's strength will be improved in a short period of time. At that time, the Xiliang Army still has to act according to its own face, that is, who has the biggest fist, who has the final say.

In order to ensure that things are foolproof, Dong Zhuo ordered a thousand elite cavalry in Qi's army and drove towards the He Mansion half an hour later.

Thousands of soldiers had already gathered outside the He Mansion, and the leader was Wu Kuang. They all looked at the He Mansion indignation, waiting for the general's order.

Dong Zhuo walked in front and said loudly: "He Miao had an affair with an eunuch and killed the general. This crime should be punished."

Wu Kuang raised the sword in his hand and yelled, "Do you should be punished, you should be punished."

More than two thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the voices shook the sky. The servants in He's mansion had already learned the news and quickly passed it to He Miao, who had returned to the mansion. At this time, He Miao was holding a banquet in the mansion.

Now He Miao is a general and has the right to open a government alone, while He Miao adheres to his good habits and continues to live a life of wine and meat.

After hearing the movement outside the mansion, He Miao suddenly panicked. The mansion was surrounded. His first thought was to escape. When he heard that Dong Zhuo was leading the army, He Miao was even more in powerless and immediately said, "Dong Zhuo is powerful, what should he do in your opinion?"

The staff of the General's Mansion usually drink and flatter. When they really encounter problems, they all lose their opinions and look pale. Many officials even look at the direction of the door, and they are tempted to escape.

He Miao said angrily: "A bunch of waste, what do you do to raise you? At the critical moment, they all became mute."

Many officials at the banquet looked at He Miao with dissatisfaction. An aide stepped forward confidently and said, "General, don't worry, General, today I am the general's nephew, I wish Dong Zhuo'an would dare to break into the General's Mansion. Moreover, the general has tens of thousands of Southern Army in his hands, so why fear a small Dong Zhuo."

He Miao was relieved when he heard this and said happily: "It's so good, so I sent someone to the palace to inform the emperor immediately, and said that Dong Zhuo led the soldiers to surround the General's Mansion and sent someone else to the Southern Army to mobilize people and make sure to kill all the traitors."

The officials at the banquet said in unison: "The general is wise."

He Miao picked up the wine cup and laughed: "Let's see how Dong Zhuo, an ignorant martial artist, begs for mercy. If you want to be arrogant in the capital, you don't look at where this place is. If you are a tiger, you have to lie for me."

Everyone in the table said that many officials even came up with ways to rectify Dong Zhuo.

After about a cup of tea, the headmaster of the mansion broke into the room where He Miao was and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good."

He Miao said with a bad expression: "What's wrong? It's so turbulent, it's He's moral character."

The headmaster in the mansion did not care about He Miao's reproach and said unhappily: "Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to surround the general's mansion. Now there are dense cavalry everywhere outside the door. The servants who had just sent out to report the news were killed on the spot."
