Fufeng County, where the Xiliang Army is stationed, is currently singing and dancing in the Xiliang General's Mansion. Dozens of people have gathered in the hall. At the top is a tall, muscular man with a round waist. This man has thick eyebrows, big eyes, big cheeks, and a face
His thick black beard made him look quite majestic. This man was Dong Zhuo, the master of the general's mansion.
Dong Zhuo was originally defeated during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was withdrawn. Later, he befriended Zhang Rang in Luoyang and was reinstated. In the second year of Zhongping, he and Huangfu Song conquered Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Later, Huangfu Song was withdrawn and remained in power until the fifth year of Zhongping.
In the year, Dong Zhuo took control of this tens of thousands of conquering troops and changed this army into the Xiliang Army. Not long ago, Dong Zhuo sent troops to defeat Han Sui and Bian Zhang, beheading thousands of people, and led his troops to put down the Qiang rebellion. The leaders of the Qiang tribes all
He was loyal to Dong Zhuo, and for a time Dong Zhuo was powerful in nine counties in Xiliang.
Dong Zhuo was kneeling on the top, with wine on the table. He watched the singers dancing and shouting loudly from time to time. The other generals also looked excited, cheering and making endless noises. Most of these singers were from the Qiang ethnic group.
Although the woman was not as smooth and graceful as the women from the Central Plains, she had the unique charm of the Qiang people. Dong Zhuo was filled with desire. At this time, after the song ended, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Niu Fu, what else is there to perform next?"
At this time, a young general at the bottom stood up and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, there are some scholars below who are offering poems to congratulate my lord on conquering the Qiang people and shocking the nine counties!" This man was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, the Xiliang Army Commander.
When Niu Fu and Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, since when did you start making such a tune?" When Niu Fu saw that Dong Zhuo was scolding him on the surface, he was still very happy, so he laughed and said:
"I also hope that my lord will be happy. Besides, whenever there is a happy occasion, the emperors in Luoyang will find poets to compose a poem. My lord has now made a big mistake. Han Sui conquered the Western Qiang and shocked the nine counties. He has made great contributions.
Nowadays it is appropriate to find a few poets to compose a poem!"
When Niu Fu said this, everyone was stunned. When Dong Zhuo saw all the soldiers were stunned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "Okay, since you kid said so, then I will just listen to these people."
How are your poems? Besides, you are my son-in-law, so I have to give you this face!" After saying that, he burst into laughter, and Niu Fu quickly said: "Thank you, Lord!" And a middle-aged scribe sitting next to him,
After scanning the expressions of all the generals, a smile appeared on their faces. This person was none other than Dong Zhuo's number one adviser Li Ru!
At this time, Niu Fu clapped his hands, and four scribes wearing long robes came in, "I have seen General Dong!" The four men slightly cupped their hands in the hall and said, Dong Zhuo was stunned when he saw it, and Niu Fu quickly shouted: "
Why don't you kneel down when you meet your lord?" One of the older scribes said: "We are scholars, we only kneel down to saints and kings!" Dong Zhuo's face turned cold, and the generals shouted loudly: "Bold!" When Niu Fu saw him,
Originally, they wanted Dong Zhuo to be happy, but now these blind people wanted to make him suffer as well. He was so angry that he was about to draw his sword and kill the blind one, when he saw a scribe in the team was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
On the ground, he shouted loudly: "The common people are too blind to see Mount Tai. I hope the general will forgive me!" The others felt the danger at this moment and did not dare to be arrogant anymore, so they quickly knelt down!
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was already angry with those generals just now, and because these scribes did not kneel to him just now, he said sternly: "You call yourself a poet, okay, I will give you a chance. If you write good poems,
You can live, but those who do not write well in poetry cannot live! Do you understand?" Those people were about to come forward to argue, when they saw a group of Xiliang soldiers rushing in from outside the hall, each holding a long knife in their hands, looking at this
The four of them, these four of them only now knew Dong Zhuo's cruelty, and they were already trembling with fear!
Dong Zhuo pointed at the scribe who was unwilling to kneel down and said, "Let's start with you!" The man suddenly turned pale and stammered: "The golden armor of the war god, destroy the courage of the Qiang people, the general will fight in Hebei.
, Capture the banner of the enemy king!" Upon hearing this, Dong Zhuo put the knife he was cutting on the table and said angrily: "What a bad poem, drag it down and behead it for me!" The general next to him also shouted loudly: "
Behead him! Behead him!" The scribe hurriedly kowtowed and said: "General, spare your life! Spare your life!" Dong Zhuo sneered on his face and said: "What a bullshit scholar, didn't you just claim to have high moral integrity? It turns out that
That's the kind of thing!" So regardless of the man's plea, the Xiliang soldiers standing aside dragged the man out. After a while, a Xiliang soldier walked in carrying a tray, which happened to be placed on
The scribe's head stared with wide eyes, and a lot of blood flowed out on the tray! The remaining scribes smelled the smell of blood and began to vomit!
Dong Zhuo glanced at the scribes, clapped his hands on the desk, and shouted: "Next!" The second scribe in line was so frightened that he stepped forward with his legs bent and did not dare to raise his head.
, then he said tremblingly: "The general is fighting Loulan, the moon is cold on the battlefield, if you ask... if you ask..." The scribe suddenly couldn't sing out, Dong Zhuo said sternly: "A war is a war, why ask, it's nonsense."
, behead me!" At this time, when the scribe heard that Dong Zhuo was about to behead him, he was so frightened that he fainted!
In the end, there were only two scribes left, and Dong Zhuo had no intention of listening to them write poems at this moment, because his goal had been achieved, and the generals present had been subdued by him. This was the satisfactory effect he wanted. Dong Zhuo thought
He can do whatever he wants. He can kill people with words, he can kill people with anger, and he can kill anyone who doesn't agree with him! Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "These guys are really disappointing, I killed them all. I don't need those sheep."
The things I like, I like swords and guns, and women!" After saying this, he laughed wildly, and the generals also laughed!
The Xiliang soldiers who had been standing aside saw that Dong Zhuo was about to kill these two people, so they quickly stepped forward and dragged the two people down. Among them, the scribe who just entered the door and saw the opportunity to kneel to Dong Zhuo pushed those Xiliang soldiers away and shouted loudly:
He said: "General, general, I am not a poet, I am not a poet!" Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "You are not a poet, so what are you here for?" The scribe said: "Young man is here to serve!
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Come to me, and I will be surrounded by powerful generals. What's the use of you, a weak scholar, to join me? It's enough for me to have a literary elite by my side. As for you, you can still be killed!" He said with a big hand.
As soon as the Xiliang soldiers were about to come forward to arrest him, the scribe shouted loudly: "General Dong likes killing so much, why doesn't he rush into Luoyang City, sit in Luoyang, and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes! He wants to kill him!
Kill whoever you want!" When Dong Zhuo heard this, his expression changed, and he asked: "What is your name?" The scribe said: "Li Su!" At this moment, Li Su's heart was in a state of confusion, and his underwear was already soaked with sweat!
