Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 146 Tian Ji's horse racing game, Huang Zhong dares to enter the ring
What is Xiliang?

Dong Zhuo didn't know until he got there that there was no Shunian here, and the friends around him couldn't read or even understand Chinese.

Hu and Qiang thieves often come to plunder from time to time, and the women farming there will carry a "spear" with them and stick it in the ground. People fight together.

Martial arts in Xiliang...it can be seen.

at this time…

Dong Zhuo's memory became clearer and clearer.

At that time, he was full of emotions. When he was in Yingchuan, he yelled countless times that he didn't want to study and wanted to burn the books, but when he really left these books, he was so reluctant.

Everything in Yingchuan gradually moved away from Dong Zhuo's life, and the only remaining imprint was the word "Zhongying" in his name.

The word "Ying" seems to be constantly pointing the direction for Dong Zhuo. He wants to be like his father. One day in the future, he must return to Yingchuan, the Central Plains where he and his younger brother should have lived.

However, who would have thought that Xiliang would stay here for 20 years.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed, and he became more and more sad.

at this time…

The sound of "treading" footsteps came.

A radiant old man with gray hair and rosy face walked in with a handsome young man.

But who else could it be if it wasn't Yuan Kai and Yuan Shao?

They looked at Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also looked at them.

Previously, Dong Zhuo was very surprised that he was lucky enough to be transferred back to the imperial capital without any background.

But later, he realized that being able to transfer back to the Central Plains... was related to the old man in front of him.

Seeing Dong Zhuo, Yuan Kai showed an excited expression.

"Is your father Dong Junya? Were you born in Yingchuan, with the word 'Ying' and your name 'Zhongying'?"

"Do you know my father? Do you know me, Dong Zhuo?"

Dong Zhuo asked quickly.

Yuan Kui grabbed Dong Zhuo's hand, and at this moment, his arm trembled even more.

"Nephew, I finally found you!"

"I am Yuan Kai, the Taifu of the court, and I am an old friend of your father. Back then, your father was valued by me, so he was transferred to Yingchuan as an official and became a member of the scholar-bureaucrats. Later, the disaster of 'party imprisonment' happened twice. , Many scholar-bureaucrats died, I tried my best to transfer my father back to Xiliang, so that I can save your family's life!"

Yuan Kui talked eloquently. "However, you have not escaped the eunuch's poisonous hands after all. The Duan family, one of Liangzhou's Sanming, belonged to eunuchs, and your father was killed by them. I have been looking for Dong Junya's descendants these years, and finally... finally I found you, you...do you want to avenge your father? Only by defeating those eunuchs and the Duan family...your father will be able to rest in peace!"

This…

Dong Zhuo felt instantly that the sky had fallen.

He never thought about it...

And this old man... no, it is the Duan family mentioned by the current Taifu, and that is the existence of the "Liangzhou Sanming" along with the Huangfu family and the Zhang family.

And among Liangzhou Sanming, the Duan family is the strongest...

Duan Jiong, their patriarch, was also Dong Zhuo's immediate superior.

more than this…

After hearing that Dong Zhuo was going to enter the capital, the Duan family took the initiative to contact him, asking him to be the strength of the Duan family in the capital!
It also said that when Xianbei invaded the border next year, Dong Zhuo was recommended to follow Zhang Huan in the "Liangzhou Sanming" to suppress the rebellion, so as to get promoted and become a great success...

how…

Why is it that now, the Duan family is colluding with the eunuchs, and even... is the chief culprit who killed his father?
Dong Zhuo felt completely dumbfounded.

certainly…

Yuan Wei had anticipated Dong Zhuo's reaction early in the morning, and he explained it patiently. "Nephew, sit down, sit down... There are a lot of things in between, there are a lot of struggles and trade-offs between parties... Let the old man tell you slowly!"

The table was empty.

But Yuan Kai had already prepared a rich "gluttony". Dong Zhuo's father, Dong Junya, Yuan Kai used him for ten years...until he was in Xiliang, he still died in the struggle between scholar-bureaucrats and eunuchs.

Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying...

He, Yuan Kai, can also be used for ten years, 20 years...or even longer.

This is the "key" person for their Yuan family to make a great leap forward!
It was Yuan Shao beside him, he sighed softly, and looked up at the clear blue sky through the window.

Just now in the carriage, after listening to his uncle briefly introduce Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao inevitably raised questions.

why?Who should choose him?
A border official?He is neither a family nor a general. There are so many people with this kind of identity in the whole big man, how can he help the Yuan family?
In Yuan Shao's eyes full of doubts.

Yuan Kai described in detail how "excellent" and "outstanding" Dong Zhuo has done in Xiliang in the past few years!
Dong Zhuo learned riding and archery when he was very young, and he also comprehended the right and left bow in riding and shooting.

When Hu Qiang plundered, he relied on this unique skill to repeatedly defeat the bandits and protect the people.

Even the leaders of the Qiang people respected him and came to make friends with him.

But he donated money to others, and he had no money to entertain these Hu and Qiang leaders, so he killed his own cattle to entertain them.

The leader of the Qiang people was very moved. After returning, he collected thousands of animals and gave them to Dong Zhuo.

When the news spread, all the young people in Xiliang regarded Dong Zhuo as their boss.

The local government also selected him as an official, not because he is Dong Junya's son, but because only he is in charge of law and order, and the border can be stable.

When the Xiongnu invaded later, it was Dong Zhuo who brought a group of younger brothers from Xiliang to unite with the Qiang people to defeat the Xiongnu and behead thousands of people...

fame.

But Duan Jiong took Dong Zhuo under his command, but he just wanted to take credit for breaking the Xiongnu and gradually take his power for his own use.

Yuan Kai, who heard about this, immediately decided to use the chess piece "Dong Zhuo".

That's how he got it, he was transferred back to the capital... he got a side in this wine shop.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh, his uncle's eyes are not only able to see clearly the opponent, but also can see clearly, who is the potential own person?Be an ally!
Yuan Shao asked again, what can Dong Zhuo bring to the Yuan family when he enters the capital?
Yuan Kui's answer is - "Border soldiers and horses"

This is what the scholar-bureaucrat group lacks the most...

Originally speaking, the frontier soldiers and horses were in the hands of the generals, but Duan Jiong belonged to the eunuch eunuchs, Zhang Huan and Huangfu's families formed their own faction, and the literati lacked such power.

And this will also be the biggest obstacle for the Yuan family to make further progress!
If one day, the Yuan family in Runan has the opportunity to touch the pinnacle of power, at that time... it is not the reputation of the Yuan family that can check and balance those who are disobedient, but the "frontier soldiers" who do not value martial ethics

This Yuan Shao can understand...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't calm down for a long time.

Seeing his uncle chatting happily with Dong Zhuo, he interjected: "Uncle, wine is a bosom friend, I'm going to fetch a few jars of old wine right now, it's a cleansing for Brother Zhongying!"

...

...

Clenching his teeth tightly, Huang Zhong's expression was extremely painful. He knelt in a dark room with rows of spiritual tablets on which his father's name was written.

There is a light in front of the tablet...

"Father, it's because I didn't do a good job. After so many years... I haven't been able to redeem my benefactor's daughter."

With a sound of "dong", Huang Zhong bowed his head, tears welling in his eyes.

The benefactor's daughter he mentioned is naturally the girl "Huo Yu" in Wenxiang Pavilion... But just now, a friend from Xiangyang told Huang Zhong the sad news when he passed by Xinye.

Miss Huo Yu from Wenxiang Pavilion accidentally fell into the water...and drowned!
Huang Zhong, who heard the news, couldn't believe it at first, and asked other friends again and again... before he was sure.

At that moment, his eyes were blank... as if his soul had been pulled away.

With weak steps, he returned home like a walking dead.

Huang Zhong didn't know how to face it, he could only ask his father's ranking, and just knelt in front of this spirit card for a few hours.

The Huo family has saved the Huang family. If there is no Huo family, perhaps... today's Huang Zhong has been exiled to the border, and died of exhaustion at the border.

Can…

With a "gudong", Huang Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva into his stomach.

In addition to... the gratitude to the Huo family, this woman he had "guarded" for more than ten years, really... When she really left him, Huang Zhong, who was really strong and strong, couldn't help being moved at this moment.

perhaps…

The spirit card of his father in front of him was just... just to cover up the 'continuously gushing' feelings in his heart.

call…

call…

Subtle panting sounds resounded in the pavilion, and the candles in front of the seats were flickering due to the wind blowing from the window.

at this time…

With a "boom", the door opened... The sudden gust of wind almost blew out the candle in front of the spirit card, Huang Zhong subconsciously protected the flame.

He thought it was the head of the Deng family who sent someone to call him.

Immediately replied...

"Huang knows that today is the ring, please don't bother me, Huang will go later..."

Huang Zhong didn't turn around to look, his tone was extremely cold...

It seemed that because of "Huo Yu"'s death, his heart was completely cold.

Who would have thought that there was a chuckle in front of the door, "Hehe, I wish you didn't go to the ring?"

Huang Zhong was not familiar with this voice.

He hurried back to look...

But I saw Wenpin, the county captain, standing at the door.

"you?"

Huang Zhong naturally recognized Wenpin, who also belonged to Nanyang, so he had dealt with him before. "What are you doing here?"

"I really don't want to come." Wenpin shook his head slightly, but at this moment.

From Wenpin's side, beyond the wall, a charming woman in red dress is slowly approaching.

Huang Zhong's pupils suddenly widened, and he rubbed his eyes subconsciously. At this moment...he...he felt like a dream.

Because... because the woman who appeared in front of him was...the Miss Huo Yu whom he had been thinking about so much?

"you you…"

For a moment, Huang Zhong seemed to be choked up, he opened his mouth, but only one word "you" could come out of his mouth.

It was still Huo Yu's soft and slow voice.

"Han Sheng has ordered me in Wenxiang Pavilion for more than ten years, so he can't even remember the name of his slave's family? Zensheng only has 'you' left in his mouth?"

call…

Really... Huo Yu alive.

Huang Zhong only felt that his whole forehead was "buzzing". He didn't know...what happened.

"I…"

Huang Zhong was still at a loss for words.

"Cough cough..."

Wenpin coughed softly, "This ancestral hall is not suitable for romance, I'll wait outside... There will be a long time to come, but if you don't fight in the current ring, you won't have a chance to fight."

With these words blurted out, Huang Zhong seemed to understand something...

Just as he was about to ask a question, Wenpin had already turned around and walked away.

Huang Zhong tried his best to calm himself down.

He looked at Huo Yu again. "You... Didn't you say that Wenxiang Pavilion is an official kiln? Can't you redeem yourself?"

"So, the slave's house accidentally fell into the water and died..." Huo Yu giggled, "What is the name of the slave's house in the future, I have to ask Han Sheng to help get it!"

"On the contrary, Mr. Liu is very capable. I heard from Brother Wen that he persuaded the governor of Jingzhou, so that the servants can be set free... This time, he is going to compete with others in the city. Isn't Han Sheng also participating?"

call…

Huang Zhong let out a long breath,

Got it, now... he got it completely.

"You wait for me here, you are not allowed to go anywhere, I... I will come back when I go." Huang Zhong pressed his hands on Huo Yu's shoulders, his tone sonorous.

Huo Yu seemed to know what he was going to do.

"May I ask Han Sheng a question first?"

"You ask…"

Huo Yu's eyes turned to the spirit card, and then turned back to Huang Zhong's cheek, "Didn't you keep saying you wanted to redeem me? I just want to ask, did Han Sheng redeem me just to repay his kindness? Or did he really want to marry me?"

"Kudden..."

Huang Zhong felt a sudden "click" in his heart, he took a deep breath, and he gritted his teeth.

"Before answering your question, I have to repay your favor first!"

Speaking of this, Huang Zhong let go of Huo Yu, and he lifted his saber... Finally, he didn't forget to look back at Huo Yu.

Only two words left——

--"wait for me"!
His figure... quickly disappeared under the scorching sun, and Huo Yu was the only one left in this empty house.

"Wait…"

"The slave family has been waiting for more than ten years."

Yes…

From cardamom... to "Jiji", to "Jasper", to "Tao Li", to "Hua Xin".

Now she... is going to be a "mature lady"!

But in the end...has she waited?

...

...

Huang Zhong and Wenpin have not yet arrived.

In the arena in Xinye City, the first round of fighting was already in full swing.

Liu Yu thought about "Tian Ji's horse racing", but how could Deng, the head of the 28 generals in Yuntai, not know about "high-grade horses", "middle-grade horses" and "low-grade horses"?

Neither side took the initiative to send people first.

In the end, it was proposed by the clan chiefs who were onlookers, and the decision was drawn by lottery.

Liu Yu wrote the names of "Guan Yu", "Xu Huang", and "Wen Pin" on the sticks, while Deng also wrote the names of "Huang Zhong", "Wei Yan" and "Deng Tong".

Liu Yu and Deng Mou smoke each other's hands, whoever they draw will have sex with?
In a fair arena, there is no deception.

As a result, in the first round... Liu Yu drew "Deng Tong", while Deng drew "Guan Yu"...

Liu Yu didn't know if the other party was cheating.

But... Such a game is undoubtedly falling into a trap.

Tian Ji horse racing...

This first game is a competition between one's own "high-grade horse" and the opponent's "low-grade horse".

At this moment, on the arena, there were figures turning, but the fighting was very lively.

Liu Yu originally thought that Deng Tong... this Deng Zhi's father, his martial arts were just mediocre, but he never thought that his body skills were weird, and his sword skills were extremely fierce and ruthless.

It's a pity...his opponent is Guan Yu.

Even if there is no Qinglong Yanyue Saber, Guan Yu's sword in one hand can be opened and closed freely, with ease...

His strength was like the scorching sun, as if... Deng Tong's swordsmanship had been exposed to the sun. Even though Deng Tong's body flickered and he rushed several times, he couldn't get out of the range of Guan Yu's sword.

finally…

Guan Yu made a move, and as soon as the saber was drawn, the fierce force poured directly on Deng Tong's sword.

This is Guan Yu's first knife...

The characteristic of Guan Yu's sword technique is that his first three swords are better than one sword!

How can Deng Tong's arm strength withstand it?

"clang clang..."

The long sword fell to the ground with a clear and crisp sound, and at the same time as Deng looked at it, he had already dropped the sword and retreated.

Although he didn't admit defeat, but the weapon fell from the arena, and he had already lost [-]%.

"My son, come down..."

Deng looked extremely calm, he unhurriedly greeted Deng Tong to get off the ring.

This first scene was just for show.

Thirty million dollars, I can afford to lose...

What's more, Tian Ji's horse racing... the opponent's "top horse" is consumed, and then... his side's play style is much more flexible.

"Nanyang Deng's family lost the first ring!"

Deng admitted quite boldly, with a big wave of his hand... Under the ring, countless boxes filled with gold were moved to Liu Yu's side.

Thirty million dollars of gold is not a small amount.

After all, even a wealthy family like the Deng family in Nanyang needs the strength of the descendants of eleven Yuntai generals to raise funds.

Guan Yu looked at Deng Tong coldly.

Without saying a word, he retreated from the arena, not meeting Huang Zhong, so he was unavoidably a bit disappointed.

"Acceptance!"

It was Liu Yu who bowed to Deng.

At this time, another servant presented the next bamboo stick, and Liu Yu picked one at random, it was "Huang Zhong"!
What Deng took out was Xu Huang.

this time...

There was a slight change, Huang Zhong was not near the ring.

Deng's face suddenly darkened.

He asked the servants beside him.

"Didn't you send someone to look for Huang Hansheng? Where's the person?"

Deng Tong panted heavily, he looked around, nowhere was there Huang Zhong's figure.

At this moment, Xu Huang is already standing on the ring...

Seeing that there was no one to fight in front of him, he stroked his beard: "Where is the person? When you talk about fighting in the ring, you scare him out of his guts, right? Ah..."

A roaring sound resounded in the arena.

this time...

There were discussions around the arena.

"This Huang Zhong is the number one general under Deng's family, how could he not be born?"

"Could it be that...Huang Zhongxin is a fellow from Nanyang, and deliberately missed the battle...to let Liu Junshou win! It's possible!"

"No, Huang Hansheng has only obeyed the orders of the masters of the Deng family these years. He will never stand against the masters of the Deng family just because of the common people! He has always only cared about himself!"

Not only the people are talking about...

Those aristocratic families were also panicked.

"What's the situation? Where's Huang Hansheng? He...isn't he the best fighter in our Nanyang? People?"

"Thirty million yuan, is it possible...you will lose another thirty million yuan?"

"Is this about the money? This is the face... The face of our Nanyang Yuntai general has been rubbed by that willow feather on the ground!"

Panic…

Panic all around!
Contrary to other people's uproarious comments, Liu Yu has always been very calm and calm...

He raised his head, the sun was like a fire, and he looked at the various forms of beings under the arrogant eyes of this noon.

at this time…

A vigorous figure walked in the distance, the shadow was stretched extremely long by the bright sun at noon, sonorous footsteps... could be heard clearly from far away, his appearance seemed lonely, calm, and magnanimous!

Huang Zhong is here...

As he was walking towards the ring step by step, Lu Yu's eyes lit up...not because he noticed Huang Zhong, but because Wen Pin was not far away from Huang Zhong.

It's almost done!
People, most of them have been delivered!
So... this arena...

Speaking of...

Huang Zhong is very famous in Nanyang, because when he came, the crowd gave way tacitly, and when Huang Zhong walked past everyone, his aura still shocked the onlookers.

Huang Zhong's eyes were firm, and he went straight to the ring... looking back at Deng in the audience.

At this moment, Deng's heart finally fell safely.

With Huang Zhong coming, the arena will be stable...

If this game can be won, then the next...

When Wei Yan was engaged to Shang Wen, Deng felt that the odds of winning were [-]%!
On the other hand, Huang Zhong, his face was expressionless, his eyes shifted to Liu Yu's body.

At this moment, his eyes met Liu Yu's indifferent eyes with a slight smile, he paused involuntarily, his eyes turned... and finally stayed on Xu Huang's body in front of him.

"It's just a small child, but the tone is not small."

"Bear gall, huh...Huang doesn't have bear gall, only tiger gall!"

While speaking, Huang Zhong had already shown his saber.

Xu Huang's ax lay across his chest...

War is imminent!
