Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 373 Second Invitation to Zhang Liao
After dawn, news came that Lu Bu had killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's troops soared, and his power increased greatly.

After hearing the news, all the officials were frightened and panicked all day long.

No one in the court was happy, but Dong Zhuo returned to his residence in Luoyang with a big laugh, and everyone in his entourage was beaming with joy.One of them, with a gloomy face, wore a golden crown with his hair tied up, wore a battle robe of hundreds of flowers, Tang Yan armor, a lion belt, and a painted halberd.It was none other than Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo entered the hall with a smile, and when he was seated, he said: "Fengxian, Ding Jianyang is so contemptuous of you and only gives you a humble position. You really underestimate a hero. When you come to this old man, it will be different. Now the old man I will confer you the title of cavalry captain and command my Xiliang cavalry. When the new emperor ascends the throne, I will definitely honor your majesty and confer you the title of Marquis!"

When Lu Bu heard this, an excited smile appeared on his gloomy face.He felt the kindness of knowing you, and immediately pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar over, saying: "My lord, please accept Lu Bu's worship."

Dong Zhuo immediately smiled and said: "General Lu, you don't need to be too polite with me, please hurry up!" His heart moved, and he said: "Fengxian, I heard that you are only one person, and the old man adopted you as his adopted son. From now on, this old man will be you home, would you like to?"

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, but he felt that the time had come for Dong Zhuo to flex his muscles.Having been aggrieved in Bingzhou for many years, he finally paid homage: "Father-in-law, please accept my child's worship."

"Okay." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, and felt that with a strong general like Lu Bu and the elite Xiliang iron cavalry in his hands, it would be just around the corner to bring peace to the world.

At this time, a servant came to report, "My lord, the former general Qin Feng is asking to see me outside."

After a while, Qin Feng entered the hall, Dong Zhuo was the head in the hall, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Lu Bu and others looked at each other coldly.

Lu Bu Fangtian drew his halberd on the ground, and with a clang, he said coldly, "Young Champion, we meet again."

Qin Feng remained calm and just looked at Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo signaled to Lu Bu to be safe and not to be impatient, and said, "General Qin came to my place, what's the matter?"

Qin Feng smiled and said: "Master Dong, Qin Feng came here today to say goodbye. Qin Feng's home is in Yecheng, and he plans to go home and have a look."

Dong Zhuo frowned, and said: "The court has not yet been decided, and the old man plans to establish a new monarch to appease the court. General Qin is an important minister of the court, and the court cannot do without you at this time. It is not too late to discuss this matter after the court is stable."

Qin Feng smiled and said solemnly: "So many things have happened in the court, Qin Feng has been powerless, very ashamed, and has no qualifications to take on important responsibilities. Qin Feng is willing to return the officials and nobles so that capable people can take over. I And return home."

With that said, he took out the seal ribbon.

"Ah?" Dong Zhuo was dumbfounded for a moment, he never expected that Qin Feng would resign from office.

For Qin Feng, this official has nothing to do with it.

There are two advantages of his resignation, first: Dong Zhuo has no reason to keep him.Second: It is also a reassurance for Dong Zhuo. Qin Feng has become an ordinary person, and there is nothing to threaten Dong Zhuo.

"This...." Dong Zhuo was a little confused, and he looked at the counselor Li Ru beside him.

Li Ru rolled his eyes, flicked his beard, leaned over and whispered: "My lord, Qin Feng has gathered people from all over the world. Now that the new emperor has not been established, he suddenly abandons his official position and leaves. This will definitely cause too much resentment for the lord. In addition , Qin Zi became the leader of hundreds of officials, if hundreds of officials compete to follow suit, the country will not be a country, and there will be turmoil."

Dong Zhuo nodded, thinking that what Li Ru said made sense.If he wants to rule as a king and hegemony, all the famous people in the world should gather in his court, and Qin Feng is one of the few famous people in the world, how can he let him go.

So Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "No."

"No?" Qin Feng said in his heart that I had a bad temper. He threw away the seal and said angrily, "What the fuck, I quit my job and won't bother anyone, can't I?"

Dong Zhuo also had a violent temper, so he jumped up against the case and shouted: "Damn it, I won't do it if I say no."

Because of Qin Feng's great reputation, Dong Zhuo needed a great sage like Qin Feng in his court to save him face, so he didn't let Qin Feng go.Even someone whose reputation reaches Qin Feng's level has such helplessness.

Qin Feng turned around and left, Dong Zhuo shouted: "Hey, official seal, official seal!"

Li Jue and Guo Si, especially Lu Bu, were dumbfounded.Others have sharpened their heads and wanted to be a high-ranking official, but they still can't.Qin Feng doesn't want to be the one here, he insists on someone else.They feel that the troubles of people are really different from each other.

Lu Bu looked at the seal of the former general on the ground and snorted coldly.

Li Ru quickly stopped Dong Zhuo's anger, picked up the official seal on the ground, and chased him out.After catching up with Qin Feng, he smiled harmlessly and said, "Master Hou, you forgot to take your seal ribbon."

Qin Feng knew very well that Dong Zhuo had nothing but oil and water in his stomach, and he was able to do so many things because of the advice and advice of the scribe in front of him.He took the seal and said: "Wenyou, don't harm others, accumulate some virtue, and save your child from having an ass hole."

"Ah?" Li Ru was taken aback when he heard the words. He never expected that the prestigious champion Hou could say such down-to-earth words. Looking at the leaving figure, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Then Li Ru returned to the hall, he took a deep breath to calm himself down.He did so many things not only for Dong Zhuo, but also for himself.Dong Zhuo will rule as a king and hegemony in the future, and he will be famous in history.

What Dong Zhuo is most concerned about now is the establishment of a new monarch. Seeing Li Ru coming back, he asked, "Wen You, Ding Jianyang is gone, when will a new monarch be appointed?"

Li Ru flicked his beard and said: "After the Bingzhou Army is reorganized, we can bring up the matter of the new emperor again. Zhang Liao, the general of the Bingzhou Army, has not joined him, and he still has a soldier in his hand. This matter needs further investigation." General Lu went to surrender to Zhang Liao."

Lu Bu immediately came out and said, "Father, don't worry, my son will go and persuade Zhang Liao to surrender."

On the other hand, Qin Feng Mansion.

When Xun Yu and the others learned that Dong Zhuo refused to agree to Qin Feng's resignation, they were filled with gloom.

Qin Feng looked away instead, and said: "There will always be a chance, let's wait and see what happens." He said to Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, you can leave the city. My lord, I have an important matter here. I want you to do it."

Xun Yu saluted and said, "My lord, please give me instructions."

Qin Feng nodded, and said: "So, so, so, so..., Zhang Wenyuan is a powerful general. Whoever can get him will be even more powerful. I don't know if he has joined Dong Zhuo's command. I have an old relationship with him. If you can go to find him on my behalf, if you can persuade him to vote, that would be the best. If he is not willing, don’t force it. But tell him that when a man is alive, he must be loyal and righteous, and he must not do anything to help the tyrant.”

"My lord, don't worry, Xun Yu will definitely persuade Zhang Wenyuan to vote."

So, without stopping, Xun Yu immediately went to Zhang Liao.

……

Thirty miles west of Luoyang City, there is a military camp, which is the partial village of the Bingzhou Army stationed by Zhang Liao.When the news that Ding Yuan was killed by Lu Bu came, the soldiers in the village were overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.

In the big tent, Zhang Liao's face was gloomy, and he didn't know where to go.

The general said: "General Zhang, General Dong summoned us, what is the general's plan?"

Another humane said: "Master Ding belittled us, so General Lu killed him. General Lu did this to find another way out for us, and to express his anger."

Zhang Liao said with an ugly face: "Although Mr. Ding is mean, he is the master after all. Lu Fengxian betrayed the master..."

The generals peeped at each other, and someone said: "General, if we don't vote for Dong Zhuo at this moment, where can we vote?"

At this time, a soldier came in and said: "General Qi, there is Shi Xunyu, the former head of the general's residence outside the gate, asking to see him."

"Former General Shi!" Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and he said anxiously, "Please hurry up." He dismissed the generals and waited for the empty seats.

After a while, Xun Yu entered the account.

Zhang Liao got up to greet him, saluted and said, "I have heard Mr. Wenruo's name for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today. I don't know why Mr. Wenruo came here?"

Xun Yu returned the salute, and said in a gentle and elegant way: "I often hear the name of Zhang Wenyuan in Bingzhou. Now that the incident in Dingbingzhou happened, I came to see the general and wanted to make a statement."

Zhang Liao asked Xun Yu to sit up, and said, "I don't know Mr. Wen Ruo, what can you teach me?"

Xun Yu said earnestly: "Dong Zhuo pretended to help the country in the name of helping the country, but in fact he was a traitor to the country. Everyone got to punish him. Ding Jianyang was killed by him when he spoke uprightly. A loyal general, you must not be fooled by Dong Zhuo's hypocrisy. The name of my lord's benevolence is spread all over the world, and it has always been his lifelong ambition to revitalize the country and protect the common people. In the past, he was brave when he met the public, and he was very respectful and loved. Now that he has learned about Ding Jianyang, he specially sent Xun Yu to invite him."

"Why don't you join my lord, contribute to the country and the people, and do righteous deeds to fight against thieves, so as to achieve the great cause of rejuvenating the country and the people?"

Zhang Rang fell silent when he heard the words, just now he didn't know what to do in this life, but now, he made a decision immediately, saying: "In the past, Zhang Liao and Champion Hou hit it off, but there was a bond at that time, now... hey..." He said When I got here, I made a solemn salute and said, "I would like to listen to the public opinion."

Xun Yu hastily returned the gift, saying, "If my lord knows that Wen Yuan is here to vote, he will be overjoyed."

Back then, when Qin Feng invited Zhang Liao for the first time, Zhang Rang felt Ding Yuan's kindness in his promotion and couldn't bear to part with him.Today, everything will fall into place.

At this time, some soldiers hurried in and said, "General Zhang, General Lu is here!"

Zhang Liao frowned, and asked Xun Yu to wait in the back tent first.

After a while, Lu Bu entered the tent, followed by many officers of the Bingzhou Army.

Looking at the appearance of these officers, Zhang Liao knew that they had been surrendered by Lu Bu.Lu Bu's prestige in the Bingzhou Army was still higher than that of Zhang Liao.Now that Ding Yuan is dead and the soldiers have no master, it is reasonable for Lu Bu to surrender them.

"General Lu." Zhang Liao frowned.

Lu Bu looked at it proudly, he waved his hand to signal to the officers behind him, and said, "Wen Yuan, all the soldiers of Bingzhou are now under my command, and Wen Yuan is the only one left."

If Xun Yu hadn't arrived in time, perhaps Zhang Liao, who had nowhere to go, would have followed Lu Bu.But it was completely different now, Zhang Liao was full of desire to join Qin Feng's command.He said calmly: "General Lu, everyone has his own ambition."

Lu Bu's temper is not pretentious, and he said immediately after hearing the words: "There will be a period later." After speaking, he turned around and said to the officers from all walks of life: "Go and gather troops and demolish the stockade, and follow me to go to Dong Dong. grown ups."

"Here!" Everyone responded loudly, saluted Zhang Liao, and followed Lu Bu away.

In a blink of an eye, all the soldiers inside and outside the big tent left, leaving only a few soldiers who were reluctant to leave Zhang Liao.

When Xun Yu walked out of the back tent, Zhang Liao shook his head and smiled wryly.Xun Yu comforted, "That's fine, it's light for one person."
