The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

()Because of his family background, Dong Zhuo has been going well since he became an official. A few years ago, he was directly promoted to the governor of Hedong, the governor of Bingzhou, and even the high title of general of Zhonglang.But when he was in full bloom, a Yellow Turban Rebellion ruined his seemingly perfect future.Because of his ineffectiveness in leading troops to suppress bandits, Dong Zhuo was deprived of all his posts by the court and sent back to his hometown to become a rich man.

This gap naturally made it difficult for Dong Zhuo to accept, and it was even more difficult to eliminate the resentment and unwillingness in his heart.Fortunately, the Dong family has a deep foundation in Xiliang, and Dong Zhuo's deliberate management in the past few years, so even if he was deprived of all his positions by the court, he still has a lot of influence in the Liangzhou territory, even through Confidants like Niu Fu still control some people.

It's just that this can't satisfy Dong Zhuo's ever-increasing ambitions. In order to regain his own power and go further, he has been secretly planning.It's a pity that many people in the court disdain him as a warrior, so it's hard to get rid of the current situation even if he tries his best.But this Qiang rebellion gave Dong Zhuo a great opportunity to recover, so he asked Niu Fu to take the big risk to assassinate Geng Bi, which made the chaos more difficult to control, so that the court would think that there was still more to come. With my own existence, I regained the nominal power of Xiliang.

Thinking of everything he had experienced, Dong Zhuo was naturally dissatisfied with the court, but when facing Ma Yue, a young man he was not familiar with, he didn't show such thoughts, he was just startled for a moment, and then said : "Someone already knows what you said before, is what you said really true?"

Ma Yue saw that Dong Zhuo was pondering for a while, with a bit of murderous aura emerging from his body, so he was naturally vigilant in his heart.Seeing that he had spoken again, and his expression returned to normal, I felt relieved, and said again what I had learned: "... From the information revealed by the Qiang people before, their next goal This is the county seat of Lintao. Moreover, in order to capture the county seat, these Qiang people may really do such unrighteous things. At that time, those people will just... come to Tao this time, in addition to hoping to protect these people , and more hope that Dong Gong can send troops to save the people from the upside down."

In fact, this idea was born by Ma Yue after he knew that there were thousands of officers and soldiers stationed in this city. After all, besides the people he rescued, there are more people in the villages who are being kidnapped by the Qiang people. , these people are also innocent.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning. Although he had a good relationship with the Qiang people, if they really let them attack the city, it would be completely difficult to implement his previous plan, which he couldn't accept.As for the life and death of those common people, it was nothing to him. Now that Ma Yue actually proposed to send troops to save the common people, it was hard for him to nod.

Ma Yue also guessed that what Dong Zhuo said about the safety of the common people was of little use.One must know that this person in front of him will be a big murderer in the future, will he take the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in his heart?But this is not what Ma Yue wants to see, otherwise he would not take the risk to save others, and then tried his best to meet Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, Ma Yue couldn't help but said again: "Mr. Dong, please save the people of Xiliang. The hearts of the people are the hearts of the soldiers. If Dong Gong can be the master of the people in this matter, save Xiliang who is almost in a desperate situation The people were in the hands of the Qiang people, and Duke Dong will be grateful for the people of Xiliang in the future, and it will be of great benefit to the future with the Duke.”

From the environment Dong Zhuo was in now, and from the fact that Niu Fu, Dong Zhuo's confidant, wanted to assassinate Geng Bi in such a risky way, Ma Yue could easily deduce that Dong Zhuo must not be having a good time.But based on Dong Zhuo's performance in history, this person must be a person who is greedy for power and position, so it is useless to tell him about benevolence, justice and morality, only to impress him with benefits.That's why Ma Yue cryptically mentioned Xiliang's military spirit and people's will to try to persuade Dong Zhuo.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, a moment of thought flashed across Dong Zhuo's face.As a court official for many years, he naturally understood the meaning of Ma Yue's words, and even more understood that what he said was true, and that the hearts of the army and the people were indeed the same.If he can save these people from danger in this matter, not to mention how the court will reward him if he finds out, even the people of Xiliang will be grateful to him, thus greatly increasing Dong Zhuo's reputation among the people.

However, apart from the benefits, this matter is not easy to handle. Now that the Qiang people are powerful, whether they can hold Lintao City is still a question. How could he take the risk of sending troops to rescue people? This is not in his own hands. It's not very cost-effective to gamble with strength.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo still didn't say a word, Ma Yue became even more anxious, knowing that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous things would be, and the more likely those common people would be killed.However, he also knew that Dong Zhuo must be persuaded to send troops with words, so he suppressed the urgency in his heart and said: "Besides, this will not only save those innocent people, but also help Dong Zhuo to defend Lintao City. "

"Oh, how do you say that?" Dong Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Dong Gong, please think about it. In the battle last night, although the Qiang people won a big victory because of the sneak attack, because of their small number, they are bound to be exhausted. Today they must rest and recuperate. And they took advantage of this opportunity to Sending a small group of people to plunder the village, if Dong Gong ignores this, it will give them a chance to recover their fighting power. At that time, the Qiang army will drive the people to press down, and Lintao will be in danger.

"However, if Dong Gong can suddenly attack the Qiang people when they are not stable and have not recovered their strength, it will definitely have the effect of surprise soldiers. In this way, not only can the people be rescued, but Dong Gong will be named as the people. Remember, and also keep Lintao City, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

"In addition, when the army was defeated, only Dong Gong dared to lead our remnants of the Han family to kill the enemy and save the people. This merit alone is enough to make the government and the public look at Dong Gong with admiration. Presumably when the time comes, this will command me to Xiliang. Mr. Dong must have the position of commanding an army of [-] to wipe out the rebellious army!"

In order to persuade Dong Zhuo to send troops to save people, Ma Yue has done his best. No matter what he should say or what he should not say, he has said everything, and he has even revealed some kind of Dong Zhuo's ambition secretly.After saying all this, Ma Yue stared nervously at Dong Zhuo, not knowing how this hero in history would choose.

The original unfathomable expression on Dong Zhuo's face also changed after Ma Yue's analysis.He really didn't expect the young man in front of him to see things so clearly, and even said what he didn't think of.Moreover, there was a grasp of his own thoughts in these words, he actually knew that he was not satisfied with the status quo, and wanted to gain power by controlling the military power.This made him both excited and vigilant.

After squinting his eyes and looking Ma Yue up and down, Dong Zhuo asked in a somewhat blunt voice: "Boy, who are you? You seem to know someone very well!"

"The boy is just the second son of Sima of the Xiliang Army. It is only because he can see that Mr. Dong is very comparable, so he will tell you this from the bottom of his heart!" Ma Yue replied immediately. Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell the other party that he is because he knows you. What you will do in the future, that's why you can conclude that you are not satisfied with the current situation, and you must have a plan.

Dong Zhuo's eyes pierced Ma Yue's eyes like two sharp arrows, trying to see some conspiracy from his eyes.But Ma Yue greeted him without fear, to show that he had no other intentions.In Dong Zhuo's eyes, this made him believe Ma Yue's words even more. It seemed that the young man had indeed come to save the people.And if doing so would indeed be of great benefit to him, Dong Zhuo would also be moved.

But this matter is too important after all, Dong Zhuo couldn't make a decision immediately, so he looked away and smiled: "Boy, do you have a sign?"

"Huh?" Ma Yue was stunned when he heard this abrupt question, but he quickly guessed what the other party meant, which was his appreciation.It's a pity that until this time, Ma Yue didn't have his own name, after all, he was only 14 years old.Men in the Han Dynasty could only have characters when they were 20 years old. Of course, this is not absolute. If you are successful in your youth, it is not a problem to have characters earlier.

But the problem is that Ma Yue didn't have any achievements before, and coupled with his young age, Ma Teng naturally wouldn't give him a name.But this didn't bother him, he knew that his elder brother Ma Chao's nickname would be Meng Qi from now on, so as his younger brother, judging from the ranking of Uncle Meng Zhong, he should be called Zhong Zhong.

The remaining one character is much easier to handle. Ma Yue still wanted to remember his previous self, so he chose a character for himself: "Dong Gong, the boy has a character, and the character is Zhong Ling!" Ling Zhe, Ling Yuezhi Ling Ye was exactly his surname in the previous life.

"Zhong Ling, this matter is very important, and it's not easy for someone to make such a decision at once. You should stay in my mansion to rest and wait for news." Dong Zhuo said, and waved a servant to come forward to take him away. Ma Yue went to the guest room to rest.

Ma Yue knew that he had tried his best, and it was up to Dong Zhuo to decide what to do next. If he insisted again, he might make Dong Zhuo unhappy, which would backfire in the end.So he had no choice but to bow his hands and salute, and then left with the servant.

After Ma Yue left, Dong Zhuo took a sip of the wine from the bronze wine jue in front of him, and then said, "Wen You, do you think what this guy said makes sense?"

Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's confidant, was in the pavilion, but even if Ma Yue mentioned him just now, he didn't make a sound.Now that Dong Zhuo asked, he spoke carefully: "Every point he said is reasonable, if we can win a victory after Geng Bi's defeat, father-in-law, you will definitely be the best candidate to succeed Xiliang governor. "

Dong Zhuo nodded happily. In fact, he had already been moved when Ma Yue spoke, and now Li Ru thinks so again, which makes him more determined to send troops to try.And he made this decision not because he was really afraid that the Qiang people would attack Lintao. He still had confidence in the elite team he had built, but because he wanted to get credit and benefits from it.But just to be cautious, he still turned his head to look at Niu Fu: "Do you think this battle can be won?"

"As long as the lord gives an order, we will fight to the death to defeat the enemy!" Niu Fu said immediately.

"Okay!" Dong Zhuo patted the table in front of him and said: "Then send troops! There are only ten thousand Qiang people in the area, do they really think they can show off their power in front of me, Dong Zhuo!" He paused again, then narrowed his eyes and said : "This kid named Ma Yue is quite capable and courageous. If he can be used for me, it will be a great help. Wen You, go to see him and see if he can be loyal to me."

"Yes, I'll go find out what he said." Li Ru nodded in response.When Ma Yue spoke, he had already seen that Dong Zhuo had the intention of recruiting him, so he was not surprised.
