The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() said that after eliminating Beigong Boyu and other Qiang leaders in one fell swoop, Han Yue immediately rectified the tens of thousands of horses in his hands.Those who were already close to Bei Gong and the others and wanted to resist after the incident were all eliminated by Han Yue without hesitation.So after two days, this army has completely fallen into Han Yue's control, and even if there are some dissatisfied people, they dare not show it on the surface.

However, the biggest problem with their team is not the internal disputes, but the shortage of food and supplies. If Han Yue has not been able to get enough food, these people who have just surrendered to him will find a reason to continue. Make trouble.Because of this, Han Yue had no choice but to surrender to Dong Zhuo, hoping to be recruited by the court and become an official army in Xiliang, so as to obtain some food and supplies.

No, a few days later, Yang Qiu, who was sent by him to negotiate with Dong Zhuo, brought back a piece of news that surprised him.After listening to Dong Zhuo's meaning relayed by Yang Qiu, he couldn't believe it was true: "You mean that Dong Zhuo will not let us be recruited by the court and continue to roam outside, but he will provide us with sufficient food, grass and food. Baggage?"

"Yes. The general was also deeply surprised by this, but when I came, the food and grass and things to keep out the cold had already begun to be prepared there, and it must be delivered to us in a few days." Yang Qiu also took a little bit Puzzled and authentic: "But I don't know what their plan is."

"Well, this matter is really weird! Originally, I thought that as long as we showed our sincerity, given the conflict between Dong Zhuo and Zhang Wen, and his desire to make great achievements, we would not waste such an opportunity in vain. But I didn't expect him To actually make such a plan, then this person's purpose is worth pondering." Han Yue frowned, thinking in his mind.

"Could it be that Dong Zhuo wants to use this to destroy us? If we want to accept their food and grass, we have to tell him our location, and in this way, he can send a large army to surround this place." At this time, another A confidant Deng Tong asked with some anxiety.

"No. Between destroying us and recruiting us under his command, the latter is the most beneficial to Dong Zhuo. How could he not know? So he must have a deeper consideration in doing this..." Han Yue was thinking After talking for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I know why Dong Zhuo is like this?"

"Why?" Several confidantes quickly looked at him and asked.

"He wants to take our group of people into his own pocket, instead of handing over to the imperial court. If we surrender to him, he will definitely report this to the imperial court. By then, he may not be able to accept us. It’s under his command. But if we don’t surrender to the imperial court, but only accept his supply of food and grass, the situation will be different. Hey, this Dong Zhongying’s ambition is really not small..." Han Yue said with admiration.

"The general, how should we choose? Do we follow his arrangement, or find someone else to surrender? In fact, we can also try with Zhang Wen." Deng Tong asked.

"No, we will act according to his will, which is in our best interest!" After weighing for a while, Han Yue made a decision: "Actually, I don't want to vote under the imperial court at this time, that's just I'm afraid it will cause endless troubles, and even generals like you and me will end badly. Now that Dong Zhuoken is secretly taking care of us, it's a good choice for us to vote under his command first, it's better than living outside.

"Besides, just as you were worried about, Deng Tong, our whereabouts will obviously be exposed because of food and grass. If we refuse to accept Dong Zhuo's secret solicitation and want to surrender to Zhang Wen, he will definitely not keep us here. At that time, instead of food and supplies, Dong Zhuo's elite soldiers will come. So we must not take this risk!"

"Then we can only be rebels all the time?" Yang Qiuxin said unwillingly.

"It's not bad to be a rebel for a while, at least it's more free. And I think Dong Zhuo is very ambitious. As long as we vote under his command, we don't have to worry about not having opportunities for prosperity in the future. But you can rest assured, I will not joke about so many brothers' fortunes and futures, if his path really doesn't work, it's not too late for us to change course."

Now that Han Yue has made up his mind, the other subordinates will naturally not argue anymore. All they have to do now is to wait for further news from Dong Zhuo.

And Dong Zhuo really kept his promise, and after a few days, he sent over a batch of food and grass that he promised to Han Yue, thus solving the food shortage problem of this team.But what makes Han Yue and the others feel dumbfounded is that these food, grass and supplies were once in their hands. It was too ironic that Dong Zhuo had fallen into Dong Zhuo's hands in a big defeat before, but now they were sent back.

But no matter what, the two sides reached an agreement. From then on, Han Yue became a subordinate of Dong Zhuo, and this team will also obey Dong Zhuo's dispatch.It's just that they didn't have a name on the imperial court. In the eyes of outsiders, they were still just a rebel army, but the original Qiang people were replaced by Han people.

?????

After accomplishing this, Dong Zhuo was naturally very happy.However, he took out some of the captured food, grass and supplies, and quietly brought an army of tens of thousands of people under his command, which made him more confident in completely controlling Xiliang in the future.Now, just waiting for the court's decree to be issued, he believes that based on the merits he has made during the quelling of the chaos, it is more than enough to become the governor of Liangzhou, and he may even be able to obtain a higher status.

However, the development of the matter was once again beyond Dong Zhuo's expectation. Just over a month later at the beginning of the new year, the court's decree was delivered.In the imperial decree, the imperial court did indeed highly praise Dong Zhuo's contributions, saying that he is the backbone of the country and will be of great use in the future.But after these empty words, the reward given to Dong Zhuo was not the post of Liangzhou shepherd he wanted, but replaced it with the governor of Bingzhou and the title of Shaofu.

From the perspective of rewards for meritorious service, the imperial court's award this time is quite appropriate, and it is also appropriate for Dong Zhuo to be promoted to the governor of a state based on Dong Zhuo's contributions, but this is not the award Dong Zhuo hopes to receive at all.Bingzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Liangzhou, and he doesn't have any roots and contacts there. Isn't it self-destructing to go there?Moreover, Dong Zhuo is now planning to flex his muscles in Liangzhou and expand his power, so he must not leave this place just like this.

Moreover, the imperial decree also mentioned an order that was even more unacceptable and angry to Dong Zhuo - let Dong Zhuo hand over his military power, and then take only a few hundred soldiers to Bingzhou to take office. This is clearly to deprive Dong Zhuo of his military power!

"How did things change like this?" This was something Dong Zhuo couldn't figure out.

So after receiving the imperial decree, Dong Zhuo called all his confidants to him and asked them how to deal with this decree, which was clearly a promotion, but actually a decree to suppress.Dong Zhuo was absolutely unwilling to give in like this, but what reason should he find to reject the imperial court's edict, he would not dare to turn against the imperial court at this time.

After listening to Dong Zhuo's words, the complexions of these confidants Wenwu also changed.They knew very well that once Dong Zhuo agreed to the imperial court's assignment, they would also lose everything they had now.So without thinking too much, everyone said at the same time: "Master, this is a random fate, we must not accept it!"

"That's right, Bingzhou is too far away. Even if the people here are still willing to follow the Lord's orders, once something happens, they will be too far away. Therefore, the Lord must not go to Bingzhou."

"Then how should my lord recommend this appointment to the imperial court? There must always be a reason for this?" Li Ru raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord can just say that you are ill and cannot move for a few days first, but this will eventually come to an end." It’s not a good law. And we haven’t figured out why the imperial court issued such an order, how do you guys think about it?”

"This..." Everyone was only thinking that Dong Zhuo could not leave this place, but they hadn't thought about all the key points hidden in it, so they all lost their words all at once.

At this time, Ma Yue finally spoke: "From my point of view, this should be the work of the eunuchs in the court? The lord has made great contributions this time, and the impact on them is the most serious. Presumably they also know how big it is." If the general has foreign aid like the lord, it will be a big threat after all, that's why he came up with this strategy of drawing salary from the bottom! So transferring the lord to Bingzhou to take office is completely a conspiracy, maybe there is already a trap that will put the lord at a disadvantage So just in case, my lord can't go there."

"Hateful eunuchs, if there is a day in the top, I swear to kill all eunuchs!" Dong Zhuo said angrily.But then he felt a little helpless: "Then how should I explain to the court? Resisting the edict is a serious crime, and Zhang Wen and his like are watching from the side. I am afraid that after a few days, his people will come."

"At present, there is only one way to help my lord get through this difficult time, and that is to cause chaos in Liangzhou again!" Ma Yue immediately gave his own solution: "Han Yue and the others are good pawns to create chaos... ..."

"Well! This is indeed a good idea." Dong Zhuo said and took a deep look at Ma Yue. It seems that he had thought of this when he insisted on secretly recruiting Han Yue before. This Ma Yue is indeed very far-sighted. where.

"However, the chaos has just subsided, and new chaos occurred. Will the court see any flaws? Moreover, will this really make the court think that it must rely on the lord?" Li Ru was not without doubts typical.

"If it's only us in Xiliang that's in trouble, of course there will be such a problem. But if the rebel army from Xiliang didn't cause chaos in our Xiliang territory, but went straight to Chang'an in the Central Plains, then they Will it be so easy?" This was not what Ma Yue said, but Dong Zhuo, and when he said this, a fierce light shot out from his eyes, making Ma Yue the first For the first time, I felt that Dong Zhuo was indeed not an easy person to provoke. This time he was going to teach the court a profound lesson!
