I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 46
Dong Zhuo, as Liu Jian said, is a person who does not love the people, but loves the army.

The premise is that he only loves his own soldiers, not everyone's soldiers.

When Dong Zhuo was young, he was a very heroic person.

It is recorded in the history books: A young man who is a hero, often travels among the Qiang, and associates with all the heroes; he returns to the fields, and the heroes have followers. Shuai felt the meaning, and returned to the prime minister to collect more than a thousand heads of miscellaneous animals and leave them behind, so he was named Jianxia.

From only a few words in the historical records, one can roughly know that Dong Zhuo's inner essence is actually a big brother, the kind who is very bold.

But today's festival, when Dong Zhuo invited the envoys of the Huns to a banquet, he feasted on the soldiers of the various counties, which was in line with his usual personality.

At this time, the banquet was at its climax, and the crowd was joyful. Dong Zhuo rewarded the three armies at this time, in order to win the hearts of the army. It can be said that it was the right time.

In this season, the effect of feasting on the soldiers is far more effective than usual. It has to be said that Dong Zhuo has also worked hard on this aspect and studied it thoroughly.

Sure enough, after Dong Zhuo finished speaking, there was a burst of shouting and tsunami shouting all around.

"Thank you Fang Bo!"

"Thank you Fang Bo!"

Among the banquet under the bright starry sky tonight, only this moment is the most lively, and it is also the most exciting for the soldiers.

Liu Jian was on the sidelines, patiently analyzing Dong Zhuo's every move for Zhang Fei and Han Dang, and the meaning of his sudden announcement at the moment.

It would be great to take this opportunity to let Zhang Fei learn more.

In the army, feasting is nothing more than food and drink. As for things like money and silk, most of them have to be rewarded to the lieutenants who have military ranks.

Next, Dong Zhuo sat down with a smile, waved his big hand and said, "Of course the soldiers in the camp will be rewarded, but all the lords who are here today are also people who have made great achievements, so they must be rewarded and bestowed! "

"Even though your merits were reported to Shangshutai by Duke Lu, Dong himself will not forget the hard work of the gentlemen. Today, taking advantage of the alcoholism, if any of the subordinates of the gentlemen have made great achievements, you may as well report them directly! Dongmou It should be a special reward!"

When the words fell, Sima from the other tribes who belonged to Yunzhong stood up and reported meritorious service to his subordinates Qu Junhou and the head of the village one by one.

After Dong Zhuo heard it, he immediately grinned, "Look and see!"

When someone brought the brocade cloth that had been prepared on a tray to Sima in Yunzhong County, he asked him to share the reward on his behalf.

Zhang Fei seemed a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Brother, what is the meaning of this? How many merits have been paid by the military lieutenants of the counties, shouldn't Lu Shangshu send someone to the Shangshutai after submitting it through him, the governor? "

Liu Jian shook the empty wine goblet in his hand and said, "That's natural."

Zhang Fei was even more puzzled: "Since this is the case, Dong Shijun is naturally very clear about how many beheads and prisoners there are in Tunqu in the counties. Why do you want to ask here in public? Could it be that he drank too much and forgot?"

"How should I put it?"

Liu Jianruo realized something and said: "According to my observation, in fact, the current situation is somewhat similar to the meaning of presenting awards on stage. Rewarding meritorious service is just the most basic step in the heart of recruiting soldiers. Reporting the meritorious deeds is tantamount to making the person who received the merit greatly increase the face, and even more so, there are still Huns here today, which can greatly increase the morale and prestige of our soldiers, why not do it like this?"

Han Dang sighed with emotion: "This Dong Shijun does have some means of managing troops."

"That's right, that's why I brought you here to learn."

Later, Sima from Dingxiang stood up and stated the achievements of the chiefs of Qutun under his command. Dong Zhuo naturally rewarded him with pride after listening.

Immediately afterwards, the chiefs of Daijun, Shuofang, and Yanmen all stated separately, one said who in the headquarters had won a lot, another said who in the headquarters was brave and invincible, and some said who in the headquarters had beheaded some famous Xianbei.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and watched them one by one.

And those who received the award in front of the three armies naturally had a bright face, and their gratitude to Dong Zhuo was naturally beyond words.

For a time, the atmosphere in the field reached a climax, and the morale of the troops in the counties of Bingzhou was extremely high, and everyone shouted, "Fang Bo is powerful, powerful and gracious".

Dong Zhuo's face was full of joy, overjoyed and deeply satisfied.

Zhang Fei asked Liu Jian in a low voice: "Brother, logically speaking, these military officers in Bingzhou should have been rewarded by Shang Shutai, and now Dong Shijun has rewarded them again. Where did the money come from?"

Liu Jian said very calmly: "Of course he uses his own property."

"Ah? With his own money, wouldn't it be a loss for such a surnamed Dong? How could he spread his money like this?"

"Ha ha……"

Liu Jian's laughter was somewhat disdainful: "A person in his position seems to be arrogant and can spend tens of thousands of gold, but in the end he will not lose his own principal. He has his own source of money Of course, he is not the only one. It has always been like this in the court. All the expenses of the leading officials will be apportioned downwards, layer by layer. In the end, the real losers are only the lowest level of the Guizhou people. Let me ask In the world of great men, how many of them are officials in the court?"

When Han Dang heard this, there was a bit of indignation in his eyes, and the look he looked at Dong Zhuo seemed to have begun to become unkind.

After all, if it really counts, Han Dang is the one who has really been at the bottom.

The layer upon layer of pain that Liu Jian talked about was only Han Dang who really felt it personally.

That kind of helplessness, that kind of bitterness, that kind of pain of living in the cracks, the sadness of being unable to survive or die, how can the superiors know and experience it?

Han Dang clenched his teeth tightly, clenched his fingers into fists, and there seemed to be some blood in his palms.

In addition to Liu Jian and Zhang Fei, the envoys of the Huns were also paying attention to the actions of Dong Zhuo's soldiers.

Faced with this situation, the mood of the Huns is also mixed at the moment.

Although the Southern Huns have been attached to the Han Dynasty for many years and stationed in Meiji, they are two different regimes after all. During the period when they were attached to the Han Dynasty, many tribes in the Southern Xiongnu rebelled against the Han Dynasty for many years and were eventually suppressed. Subconsciously, I still hope to be able to be independent, but unfortunately, I really don't have this ability.

Today's Great Han Dynasty has broken Xianbei, and the Han army was in the limelight for a while. Although Qiang Qu Shanyu sent people to congratulate him, he still felt somewhat jealous and bitter in his heart.

Dong Zhuo rewarded everyone in front of the Xiongnu, which invisibly raised the prestige of the Han army and suppressed the arrogance of the alien race.

In this point alone, Dong Zhuo has contributed a lot.

The Sima of all the prefectures had finished their reports, and the meritorious men of each prefecture were rewarded. The momentum of the three armies was high, and when the atmosphere of the banquet was high, there was a faint and chaotic sound not far away. It seemed that someone was arguing. It was getting bigger and bigger, and the atmosphere was not in harmony with the cheerful atmosphere in front of me.

All the soldiers who were honored by Dong Zhuo turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and began to whisper to each other.

Dong Zhuo's face was a bit gloomy, and the atmosphere that had just started was suddenly interrupted, which made him very upset.

He winked at the attendant behind him and told him to go and see what was going on.

Then I saw Dong Zhuo holding up the wine goblet and said to the Hun envoy, "Please drink up!"

The envoy of the Huns seemed to be attracted by the voice, and only after being summoned by Dong Zhuo did he regain his senses. He hurriedly raised the wine cup and toasted Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo turned around and gestured to Liu Jian as well.

After everyone drank the wine, they heard a roar in the distance!

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of iron tools intersecting. It seemed that someone had said something wrong, which caused internal strife.

All of a sudden, Dong Zhuo lost face completely.

In front of so many outsiders, making trouble at the big banquet hosted by him, this is tantamount to slapping him in the mouth, the kind that hurts and hurts.

"Boom!"

Seeing Dong Zhuo slap the wine pot heavily on the table, he shouted angrily: "Who dares to act presumptuously in front of the army! Why don't you arrest me for interrogation!"

With Dong Zhuo's anger, the incident naturally became more serious, and he couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to.

All his personal guards left the stage one after another, and rushed towards the source of the noise.

Zhang Fei looked over there with great interest, with a gloating look on his face.

"Brother, it's so good, why did someone make trouble? Didn't you say that you want me to learn from Dong Zhuo to govern the army? Just like this?"

Liu Jian also had some doubts in his heart.

Mutiny in the army during the Great Feast was considered a taboo. Logically speaking, for someone as good at managing the army as Dong Zhuo, such a thing should not happen.

Not long after, Dong Zhuo's guards brought two burly men from Bingzhou to Dong Zhuo.

Both of these two strong men were tall and tall, especially the one standing in front, whose heroic appearance attracted almost all the eyes of the people present.

The tall man was eight feet tall, with a majestic body, a face like a tiger, and a waist and arms like a leopard.

This person stands in the middle, he is a head taller than everyone around him, he has the spirit of a hero.

Compared to this person, the one behind him who was making trouble with him was obviously much lower-key and inconspicuous.

Such heroes in the army were rarely seen by others, so they all praised them. However, Dong Zhuo has been traveling in Xiliang, Bingzhou, Western Regions and other bitter cold places all year round.

There is only endless anger in his heart at the moment.

"Who are you waiting for? How dare you stand up in public! You can't find death! Report your name!"

Dong Zhuo's roar was filled with raging anger.

The heroic man at the head said loudly:

"Jiuyuan Lu Bu! The word Fengxian."

Another sergeant, who looked far less eye-catching than Lu Bu, said calmly:
"Heyin Gaoshun, styled Zhongsui."

When Liu Jian heard this, the wine cup in his hand shook unconsciously.

Then, he began to seriously look at the two people in front of him.

No wonder, no wonder, it must not be an ordinary person who can do extraordinary things at this extraordinary time. If it is these two people, it is justified.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun are still very young now, and their status in the Bingzhou Army is not very good, and they haven't reached the point where they are fully famous. Could it be that they want to take this opportunity to become famous?It shouldn't be, if you behave like this, you may not be famous, and you will be beaten with a stick if you turn around.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian picked up the wine and took a sip, his eyes became a little deeper.

On the other hand, Zhang Fei and Han Dang on the side, when they saw Lu Bu, first showed surprise, and then showed a little bit of eagerness.
