41. It seems that there are always people who are naturally incompatible
Although Luoyang has gradually become calm now, and reconstruction work has begun in an orderly manner, the undercurrent beneath this calm surface is surging with intense anomalies.
The cause of all this begins with the conflict between Dong Zhuo, who welcomed back Han Emperor Liu Bian, and the Yuan brothers who rushed to Cui Yi's country villa.
Yuan Shao was very depressed, and Yuan Shu was also very depressed.
When they worked desperately and marched towards Cui Yi's country villa with their soldiers who were already exhausted from the day's fighting and fire-fighting operations, they unexpectedly encountered a troop on the road, a troop heading south from the north.
Although the two brothers of the Yuan family had a premonition that things were out of their control when they saw this army, they still had a certain sense of luck. Although it was very likely that they would have to work with this army to rescue His Majesty, it was better than
The soup is so strong that you can’t eat it all.
Unfortunately, Murphy's theorem has long told us that the truth is often so cruel. Of course, it is impossible for the Yuan brothers to know this truth that was accidentally discovered thousands of years later by immigrants from a continent thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty.
"The people in front are the two Yuan Aiqing."
Just when Yuan Shao was hesitating about how to find out the reason for the opponent's troops appearing here without revealing his own purpose, a childish voice that he was familiar with rang out. It was this voice that made the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu
Suddenly there was a feeling of thunder striking their heads, because they recognized that the voice was His Majesty whom they were going to welcome back.
Liu Bian had gradually calmed down after the panic just now. Although he was a little timid by nature, he was still a little uneasy, but Dong Zhuo, who had just made people feel murderous just now, actually let him know after saying that he would protect his safety.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of security. Dong Zhuo's strong body and broad shoulders only deepened this inexplicable feeling.
In fact, why did Dong Zhuo and the soldiers behind Dong Zhuo look so ferocious, especially the chilling and bloody aura brought down from the battlefield on them, which made Liu Bian feel that the enemy would tear him apart at any time?
The fear of being eaten to pieces is actually not an illusion, but the murderous intent that the soldiers unconsciously released due to nervousness when Dong Zhuo's army was marching in dangerous areas. If a suspicious target appears, the murderous intent will naturally follow the host's spirit.
Focus on the guidance.
This is also one of the advantages that veterans have over recruits, because on the battlefield, even if a recruit hesitates for half a second because he is frightened by murderous intent, it is enough for him to be stabbed by the weapons of his ancestors. Even if he cannot kill the opponent instantly, it is enough to consume more time.
Kill the opponent with less HP. If the opponent is paused for a few seconds due to pain, then the surrounding comrades will have the opportunity to kill him with a combo without being injured. This is why it is more important for a small team to fight together than to fight alone.
The reason is that the effective survival rate is higher.
In fact, the veterans of the Northern Army also possess this ability, but they, especially the veterans who have stayed in Luoyang for a period of time, have learned to restrain their murderous intent, because anyone in Luoyang City who is hit by a random stone can
It may be related to a certain high-ranking official of the imperial court. Besides, Luoyang is located in the center of the Han Dynasty. It is difficult to imagine that Luoyang will be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, over time, both the bloody smell and vigilance on their bodies were corroded by the repressive and decadent life in Luoyang.
.
Therefore, when Liu Bian faced these people, his feelings were completely different from those of soldiers who had been on the front line of war all year round.
However, when the target of these people was no longer Liu Bian, but faced the distance and handed their backs to Liu Bian, not only did their murderous intent no longer radiate towards Liu Bian, but because their backs were handed over to Liu Bian, even though
Perhaps their hearts were full of disdain for Liu Bian, the cowardly young emperor, but the habits left on the battlefield still gave them a sense of trust after making such actions, trusting that there would be no danger behind them. And this
, which is the origin of Liu Bian’s feeling that it seemed to be an illusion.
It's just that Liu Bian is normal, but the Yuan brothers are not normal, because at this time they have to face the murderous intent of thousands of people head-on.
But now you can see the difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not.
Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both descendants of aristocratic families, and are best at survival philosophy in the bureaucracy, Yuan Shu spends most of his time immersed in documents. Even if he comes into contact with the army, it is just a drill. Yuan Shu once fought in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
led by the middle
Although Yuan Shao, whose troops had fought more than a dozen battles with the Yellow Turban Army, felt uncomfortable with the strong bloody murderous aura of the Xiliang Army, on the surface he just frowned, and on his crotch
The BMW showed no reaction at all.
On the other hand, Yuan Shu, let alone what he is like now, was frightened by the murderous aura from the other side just when he made the BMW, which had not experienced much wind and rain, and almost knocked Yuan Shu off the horse. But even Yuan Shu had an easy time.
He controlled his mount, but it was a pity that it was so ugly. At the same time, Yuan Shao beside Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown secretly.
"My lord, Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili school, has seen your majesty. The ten regular servants disturbed the court order and caused your majesty to suffer." Suddenly, Yuan Shao rolled his saddle and dismounted.
"Your Majesty, General Yuan Shu of Tiger Guard has met your Majesty." But immediately, Yuan Shu also made the same move.
Seeing that the morale of his own troops was weakening due to the opponent's power and Yuan Shu's poor performance, in order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Yuan Shao immediately decided to speak and try to change the topic. However, Yuan Shao's words about his own troops protecting the emperor were not
I dare not say it anymore, because the gap between the two sides' troops is too big, and even if our side wants to use force, we may not be able to win.
At the same time, Yuan Shao's speech also alleviated Yuan Shu's dilemma. He immediately tidied up his appearance, which was a little messy due to the fright of the horse, and then saluted Liu Bian in his best condition, showing good personal qualities.
Although the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu regard each other as their biggest competitors for various reasons, now is not the time for two people to compete. They jointly represent the face of the Yuan family, so Yuan Shao not only did not tear down Yuan Shu
Taiwan, on the contrary, the two people cooperated quite well at this time. Obviously, this kind of thing may have happened before.
"Thank you for your hard work, but I heard that the Luoyang Palace is burning. It is enough for Your Majesty to be protected by his old ministers. You should go back to put out the fire as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is too late, you will be guilty."
Just when the Yuan brothers bowed their heads to salute, a deep voice sounded in their ears, making their ears buzz. Of course, what annoyed the two people most was that the other party seemed not to put them at all.
In his eyes, what he said was as if he was a subordinate that the other party could command at will.
"You..." Just when Yuan Shu couldn't help but want to violently hurt someone, Yuan Shao held him down with his hands. Although Yuan Shao's heart was also burning with raging fire at this moment, he knew that he
Yuan Shu couldn't do anything drastic, and Yuan Shu couldn't do it either, because he had already associated someone from the other person's voice, a person he hated but was extremely afraid of.
Dong Zhuo!
This name seemed to have a unique magic power, which made Yuan Shao feel like he was grinding his teeth every time he thought of this name, and he always had the urge to tear the owner of this name into pieces.
Of course, from the distant past to the complicated present and even to the future that Li Shushi knew, Yuan Shao failed.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu actually preceded the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao.
At that time, the emperor of the imperial court was not even the recently deceased Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, but Liu Hong's predecessor Han Huan Emperor Liu Zhi. Although the Qiang people were equally active on the battlefield in the northwest at that time, the Han army was even more terrifying, because at that time
The northwest of the Han Dynasty not only had peerless talents like Liangzhou Sanming, but also experienced and energetic middle-level generals like Xia Yu and Dong Zhuo Yin Duan.
At that time, Yuan Shu was not the professional politician who travels among the various aristocratic families in Luoyang today, but a young and handsome young man with high spirits and a willful knight-errant wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
Yuan Shu's uncle Yuan Wei was the son-in-law of the great Confucian Ma Rong. When Yuan Wei took his wife and young Yuan Shu to visit relatives at Maoling Ma's house, they happened to encounter Qiang chaos. Yuan Shu, who was quite bold at the time, immediately committed suicide.
He volunteered and joined the army of the Ma family to suppress the rebellion. The leader of this army was Zhang Huan, one of the Three Mings of Liangzhou, and Dong Zhuo was a fierce general under Zhang Huan.
Of course, Yuan Shu was just a white teenager at that time. Although his family background was considered to be a leader, at most he was just a young man who had just entered the world and killed a few Qiang people with his own courage and the cooperation of the Ma family soldiers.
, so we were just a nod to Dong Zhuo, who was already a lieutenant general at that time.
After so many years, both Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu have basically forgotten this incident.
But Yuan Shao was different. Although many years had passed since the contact between him and Dong Zhuo, looking back now, he still felt that his memory was still fresh. The memory was so fresh that even Yuan Shao's level of nourishing Qi could not suppress the nameless feeling.
fire.
In fact, Yuan Shao at this time was a very cheerful and hospitable young man. Although his background was not very good, and he also suffered some unfair treatment when he was a child, he relied on his own efforts (and of course his outstanding appearance).
Biao (ahem, don’t get it wrong, that’s a taboo), not only did he win the approval of his biological father Yuan Feng, but his uncle Yuan Wei also regarded him as the future helmsman of the Yuan family in Runan. And these
, which is inseparable from his optimistic attitude.
And because of his childhood experience, Yuan Shao did not have the arrogance in his bones like a young master towards those with low status, but could communicate with them on an equal footing. Therefore, compared with Yuan Shu, who still had no lack of arrogance in his bones,
His circle of friends and connections should be wider. For this, you only need to think about his attitude towards Dian Wei and Li Shushi.
But just such a person was very angry by Dong Zhuo during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
To be honest, whether it was Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, they all felt a little strange when they recalled the relationship between the two in private. Because at the beginning, neither party had any extreme words or reactions, and Dong Zhuo even had some feelings for Yuan Shao before going to the Jizhou battlefield.
Looking forward to it, because according to rumors, he is a rare son of aristocratic family who can get along with people of any class on an equal footing.
It's a pity that being famous is not as good as meeting each other. Although neither of them could find anything worthy of criticism in the other person, unknowingly, the two people had drifted apart, and finally staged a confrontation at a combat meeting.
drama.
Even when Dong Zhuo was defeated by Zhang Jiao's remnant army and dismissed from his post for investigation because he passively avoided the battle, Yuan Shao actually openly drank and celebrated in the military camp.
But there is a saying that goes well: The people who know you best are often not your friends, but your enemies.
Therefore, Yuan Shao, who was hostile to Dong Zhuo, had to admit that Dong Zhuo was indeed a troublesome guy, especially the soldiers under him. They were a group of battle-hardened soldiers, a group of dead soldiers who were completely obedient and only obeyed Dong Zhuo's orders. In other words,
, as long as Dong Zhuo gave the order, those soldiers would dare to chop Yuan Shu into pieces, even in front of the emperor.
Seeing this formation, Yuan Shao knew that this time, all his efforts were in vain and turned into an act of making a wedding dress for Dong Zhuo.
However, Yuan Shao would not give up. Yuan Shao secretly made up his mind to give Dong Zhuo a good look in return for today's humiliation.
