I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 8
The Xiliang iron cavalry charged forward in a mighty manner, and the expressions of more than 1000 soldiers changed drastically.

Before they could react, they had already surrounded the battalion, divided into inner and outer layers, rushing back and forth in a counterclockwise direction, making it impossible to escape.

The leading guard drove open a passage, acting as if there was no one else present, wanton and arrogant.

In the middle of the arena, Dong Zhuo was a little dazed. After all, the guards beside him were like quails in the cold winter.Unexpectedly, the outside is so majestic.

Behind the guards, Li Ru appeared slowly, knelt down and saluted, "Taiwei, I finally found you."

The guards immediately dismounted and saluted, and one of them presented the gold seal with purple ribbon.

Dong Zhuo slowly reached out to take it, held it in front of Zhang Liao, couldn't help but asked with a smile: "This Sima, do you believe that this old man is a court captain?"

After the words fell, the faces of those soldiers who had laughed at Dong Zhuo before were all ashen: This black fat man is really a court captain! ...

Rumor has it that he kills people outside the Great Wall like hemp, and treats life like nothing. I am afraid that Lord Sima will not be able to protect himself if he offended him like that just now... No, I am afraid that Lord Sima will not be able to protect himself.

I just taunted him a few words, but Lord Sima directly stabbed him with a spear!
At this moment, Zhang Liao's expression changed a couple of times. After examining the gold seal carefully, he knelt down and saluted, "Fake Sima Zhang Liao pays homage to the Taiwei! There was a collision just now, so please punish the Taiwei."

The hearts of the soldiers suddenly rose, and they all looked at Dong Zhuo: I don't know how this vicious devil will deal with his own Sima.

Dong Zhuo's face darkened instantly, and he shouted to Zhang Liao in a deep voice, "What are you talking about!"

As if he had expected it, Zhang Liao lowered his head in disappointment.

Hearing this, the other soldiers couldn't help clenching their weapons.But then he looked at those well-equipped elite knights who surrounded him, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but cool down.

"Trespassing in an important military camp is a death penalty. Why is Zhang Sima guilty?" Hearing Zhang Liao's self-introduction of his family, Dong Zhuo's heart was already blossoming.

He didn't intend to punish him at all, but he didn't expect that he came to the camp of this future famous general by mistake, so why don't he hurry up and win him over?

Hmph, I thought you were the only one who would win over soldiers, and I, who had been in management in my previous life, wouldn't I be so eager to promote before suppressing?

Sure enough, Zhang Liao raised his head in disbelief and said, "Taiwei..."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand again, and said: "Zhang Sima, don't need to say too much, I can see that you abide by military discipline. Shicai set an example and stabilized the morale of the army, and I am even more pleased. If all the generals in the battalion understand this old man like you do Your painstaking efforts, don't stop when things get into this field?"

Then, he sighed and explained: "Actually, the old man never said that he would send troops to plunder Luoyang. Before the Gai outside the Great Wall, because the Qiang and Hu were afraid of power and did not show grace, they had no choice but to use iron and blood to frighten them. He once ordered the soldiers to plunder their tribe."

"I never wanted to enter Luoyang, but I only said that I would reward the soldiers generously. As a result, it was passed around that the old man wanted to indulge the soldiers to plunder Luoyang. How can we not hurry up and stop it?"

"Taiwei..." Li Ru heard this and couldn't help but want to interrupt.

Old Dong seemed to know what fart he was about to fart, he waved his hand to interrupt and continued: "After all, this matter is still the old man's fault, how can you be punished instead?"

As he said that, he didn't think he was fat and greasy, so he took off his ocher robe and looked at the soldier holding the whip: "What are you waiting for, twenty lashes, no mercy!"

"Captain..."

"beat!"

The soldiers were about to cry, holding a whip like a hot iron: You officials, can you not embarrass me, a big soldier, please? ... I dare not even touch Sima, let alone Taiwei, okay!

"Taiwei!..." Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Li Ru hurried forward to stop him. Li Ru said angrily, "Taiwei is a man of gold, how can he be insulted!"

Zhang Liao was even more terrified, and said: "The Taiwei is in charge of power, life and death are the first among us. If this is the case because of a certain subordinate's matter, wouldn't it be a mess?"

The soldiers, especially the corps leader, never expected that because of their complaints, Sima and even the Taiwei would scramble to receive the punishment.

Feeling ashamed and at the same time, he couldn't help his blood boiling, he took a step forward and knelt down and said: "Taiwei, Sima, it's all our fault. I don't know the Taiwei's painstaking efforts, but still gossip behind my back. If you want to punish, you should punish us!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the laughter was full of heroism and joy: "What a man!... If you correct your mistakes, you will be a good man."

Then the voice changed, and he still insisted: "But after all, the old man didn't think carefully about this matter. What he said was just a reward, but in the end, you misunderstood that Luoyang was going to be looted."

"Then it was canceled urgently, which made the sons happy for nothing, and chilled your heart... If this matter is not settled, how will I, Dong, face the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command?"

As he spoke, he took the whip from the soldiers, handed it to Zhang Liao and said, "He doesn't have the guts, but I don't know Zhang Sima, does he have the guts to ask the old man to give an explanation to the soldiers?"

"Captain..."

"Even you don't dare?" Dong Zhuo said aggressively again.

Zhang Liao was originally arrogant and arrogant, and at the age of vigorous blood, his face turned serious when he heard the words, and said: "Taiwei, I have offended you!..."

With a flick of his wrist after speaking, the whip was like a long black dragon, making a shrill scream in the air, and then exploded on Dong Zhuo's back, a bloodstain instantly appeared in front of everyone.

The burning pain caused Dong Zhuo to groan.

"Zhang Wenyuan!" Seeing this, Li Ru's eyes were tearing apart, as if he had been whipped, desperately trying to take the whip from Zhang Liao's hand.

"Li Wenyou!" Dong Zhuo roared suddenly with angry eyes, and said, "How dare you disturb the old man's military discipline?...Stop it for the old man, let Wenyuan do what he wants!"

"Captain!..."

With this sound, not only did Li Ru beg bitterly, the eyes of those soldiers filled with tears, they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "It's our fault, I deserve death!"

"What's wrong with you?" Dong Zhuo still insisted on his own opinion, and said, "It's just a few complaints, and I haven't really turned against the old man. Compared with other military camps, it's still considered good."

At this point, he immediately looked at Li Ru who was at the side.

Li Ru couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his eyes slowly turned, and his face showed a pensive look.Immediately, he seemed to understand something, beckoned to two guards, and whispered something.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo showed satisfaction, gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Yuan!"

"Snapped!……"

The first whip has been drawn, and Zhang Liao has no scruples about the second and third whips.

The Xiliang iron cavalry also stopped running, silently watching Dong Zhuo being tortured.There were more than [-] people in the huge barracks, but they were all silent, only the crisp cracking of whips and the kowtow of a few soldiers echoed.

Soon, the twenty lashes were over, and Zhang Liao's palms were already sweating, and he bravely said: "Taiwei, the execution of the last general has been completed."

"Okay!..." Dong Zhuo, enduring the whip wound on his back, almost staggered when he got up, and stood up after supporting Zhang Liao and Li Ru.

"Today, the old man was punished, and you all heard the words clearly?...The old man never said that Luoyang was looted, nor did he say that he would reward you!"

Looking at the soldiers who were all kneeling on the ground, Dong Zhuo said, "You are all Han soldiers. They came from all over the world with the heart of serving the country, and they gave me face to serve the Han family. You should be rewarded!"

"If you trust me, I will give it to you for a few more days. By then, I will renege on my promise and become fat again. You can enter the Taiwei's mansion and take the old man's head!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly roared angrily: "Is it more reliable than the old man?"

"Believe it!" Thousands of soldiers agreed in unison, and the sound shook the world.

So far, a show that invites people's hearts has come to a perfect curtain call.

But when he was leaving, he saw those four big black pigs again, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Wen Yuan, where did you get these four black pigs, and what do you want?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao looked a little coy, and explained in a low voice, "This general begged for it from his fellow villager Lu Duwei's camp. He thought that after he was tortured, he would make another meat meal to dispel their grievances."

Interestingly, as soon as the words fell, the four black pigs raised their heads together, staring at their innocent eyes as if in shock: No, they didn't take us out for a walk, so they wanted to send us away?

"Oh?..." Dong Zhuo was taken aback by this answer, and said, "Your camp doesn't have enough food?"

"The subordinates are no more than fake Sima, commanding half a battalion of people, there is no such thing in terms of supply." Zhang Liao said, and couldn't help being grateful: "It's also thanks to Captain Lu's righteousness, and the love of colleagues and fellow villagers..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately said loudly: "Pass down the order, Wenyuan will command the troops well, and from now on, this half battalion will provide a fat pig every month!"

For the small sample, he will give four heads, and I will have one head per month from now on.Today also raised your reputation, if you have a chance to be promoted again, I don’t believe you will follow Lu Bu!
Hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately thanked Xie En.

When the four black pigs heard this, they hummed and stood up again: Anyway, there will be other compatriots suffering every month in the future, so our hearts will be balanced...
