New Lubu War

Chapter 69
The two raised their bottles to touch each other and drank each.

Wang Yun was smiling, gentle and polite.

Lu Bu's face was warm, humble and respectful.

But that's about it.

When they met for the first time, they had little friendship and didn't have much to say.

Moreover, today's banquet may not be a good one, nor a place for in-depth exchanges.

Therefore, Wang Yun just respected Lu Bu with a bottle of wine and stopped talking.

With Wang Yun's intervention, the atmosphere in the hall finally became less awkward.

In addition, Dong Zhuo ordered the singers to perform dances, drums and lutes to play the sheng. Between Yingying and Yanyan, everyone gradually let go and kept drinking. For a while, it seemed that both the host and the guest were happy.

However, just after the dance was over, Dong Zhuo suddenly looked at one person in the banquet.

"Your Excellency, how is this banquet?"

Looking at this person, Dong Zhuo asked with a smile on his face.

The person who was asked was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Dong Zhuo, cupped his hands and said:

"There are songs and dances, delicious food and wine, very rich, thanks to Xiangguo's hospitality, I am very grateful!"

"Hahahaha!"

Dong Zhuo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

After laughing, looking at this person, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"I treat you with great hospitality, why do you want to repay your kindness?"

When he said the last four words, "repay kindness and revenge", Dong Zhuo's face was ferocious, and he did not hide his ferocity.

When all the people in the hall saw this, they didn't know why.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point, and no one dared to speak.

Lu Bu thought to himself, 'here we come'.

However, he still drank by himself, as if he didn't see this scene.

It has nothing to do with him, there is no need to participate.

"This……!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo's appearance, the man knew something was wrong, so he said bravely:

"What does Xiangguo mean by this? I think I have never offended Xiangguo...!"

"No offence? Hmph!"

Dong Zhuo slapped the table with his big hand and shouted loudly:

"When you received the old man's invitation last night, what did you do at home?"

"After you accepted the old man's invitation, not only did you not feel grateful, but pointed your sword at the pig and said, 'Tie Dong, I swear to kill you'. Is there such a thing?"

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo was furious, pointed at this person and said:

"This old man treats people with sincerity, but you are actually dissatisfied, and you still humiliate this old man, do you think it's bad for me to be a sword in my hand?"

Hearing this, including Lu Bu, everyone in the palace understood what was going on!

It turned out that this guy was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, but he didn't dare to show it, so he vented his anger on the pigs he raised.

But somehow, Dong Zhuo found out about this, so Dong Zhuo was furious?
"Come on!"

Dong Zhuo shouted loudly, and shouted to the warriors who entered the hall in armor and armed with spears:

"Cut off the head of this thief!"

Immediately, the warrior leader stepped forward and grabbed the man's head, without saying a word, unsheathed the sword from his waist.

'click'

The head fell to the ground, and the blood gushed wildly, flowing all over the ground.

All the people in the hall were frightened by this scene, and they were all silent, not daring to say anything more.

Lu Bu squinted, but the leader of the warrior was Hua Xiong.

Now, Hua Xiong, as the number one general under Dong Zhuo's command, is at his side at all times, taking the place of Lu Bu, the "adopted son" of time and space.

"Hahahaha!"

Facing the corpses in the hall and the blood flowing all over the floor, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud.

After laughing, he looked at the people in the hall again, showed a warm smile, and said:

"Don't be alarmed, gentlemen!"

"This thief has evil intentions, I was aware of it in advance, so I got rid of it, it has nothing to do with you, don't be alarmed, don't be alarmed!"

"Come, come, drink, drink!"

Raising the wine bottle, Dong Zhuo gestured to everyone in the hall one by one.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, they raised their wine bottles silently and responded to Dong Zhuo.

After drinking, Dong Zhuo waved his hand.

Afterwards, the samurai dragged away the corpses on the ground, and the servants of the mansion washed the ground with buckets.

After a while, the hall will be as clean as new without any traces.

However, just after drinking a few bottles of wine, a person came in from outside the hall, walked to Dong Zhuo's seat, and whispered in his ear.

Dong Zhuo obviously heard some bad news, and his eyes burst into anger again, with a vicious look.

"you!"

Dong Zhuo pointed to another person at the table, gritted his teeth and said:
"You...!"

It doesn't matter what the content is.

Anyway, he offended Dong Zhuo.

In Xumijian, another human head fell to the ground, and the bloody smell filled the hall.

……

This banquet allowed Lu Bu to see Dong Zhuo's cruelty.

During the banquet, Dong Zhuo frequently named someone and listed their 'crimes'.

Generally speaking, this person once uttered treasonous words or other crimes on a certain day of the month.

After the public announcement, he was immediately beheaded by Dong Zhuo to show the public.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo's intelligence agency spread all over Luoyang, monitoring officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China, but reported any changes immediately.

However, there were too many people who secretly scolded Dong Zhuo, no matter what he did, it was impossible to kill them all.

Otherwise, what good would an empty Luoyang City do to Dong Zhuo?
Therefore, he took advantage of this opportunity to make full use of the topic, publicized his "crime" widely, and then executed him on the spot to establish his prestige.

Needless to say, this method is really easy to use.

There are fewer and fewer people who dare to oppose Dong Zhuo.

Of course, this is not a grassland, and the Han officials are not barbarians.

While being submissive on the surface, the antagonism behind it, raging anger, is getting more and more intense!

These things, Dong Zhuo actually knew.

But on the one hand, he is a lawless person and doesn't care much.

On the other hand, it is also out of helplessness.

Dong Zhuo's background is better than Lu Bu's, but not too much better.

Almost all the ministers in the court came from prominent and wealthy families. These people always paid attention to their family background and looked down on Dong Zhuo from the bottom of their hearts.

What's more, the family is deeply rooted, the connections are all over the government and the opposition, and the dark forces are countless and extremely huge.

Right now, it's just taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's power and lurking temporarily.

It is impossible for them to truly respect and obey Dong Zhuo!
Therefore, for Dong Zhuo, the only way to maintain his majesty is to suppress violence with violence and forcefully suppress it.

Anyway, he controlled the Luoyang court, and in this name, he continued to recruit troops, and the Xiliang army was expanding day by day.

Today, it has reached nearly [-] people.

In front of the [-] Xiliang cavalry, these wealthy families dare not jump out at all, let alone show that the chariots and horses are against him.

This set of iron fist methods has worked very well so far!
Of course, if you do this, the sequelae will definitely be serious.

But Dong Zhuo didn't care.

In fact, the current Dong Zhuo is quite inflated!

This is the Han court!

In the past, when facing the princes in the court, he could only lie down and be a small man, with a smile on his face. How could he be so happy now?
Do whatever you want, kill whoever you want, isn't this what he has always longed for and pursued?
Power is a man's favorite!
A man cannot be powerless for a day!

Watching all this with cold eyes, Lu Bu remained silent and did not speak.

He just buried himself in the food and drink at his seat, ignored what happened during the period, and talked and laughed with Dong Zhuo from time to time to clarify his position.

He has no mercy for those who are killed.

These people looked down on Dong Zhuo, and similarly, they would not look down on Lu Bu.

It wouldn't be much better if he changed his position in Dong Zhuo.

No matter what you do, what you get is hostility.

That being the case, let him die?
