Chapter 307 Please sit down, my lord

Gucheng got its name because Shennong once tasted and planted five grains here. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the Kingdom of Gu.

As far as Luoyang is concerned, Gucheng is just an insignificant small town, and more often, it is just a post station.

Due to its proximity to Mengjin, after the rebellion of the Guandong princes in Gucheng, Dong Zhuo stationed 3000 troops in Gucheng in view of the crisis in Mengjin.It happened to be between Luoyang, Mengjin and Hangu Pass, and the guard of Gucheng was named Guo Yong.

This Guo Yong, 26 and seven years old, was originally from Guangzong, Anping, Jizhou.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guangzong was occupied by Zhang Jiao, and Guo Yong had to follow the thief because his family was in Zhang Jiao's hands.

After Zhang Jiao's death, Lu Zhi captured Guangzong.

Guo Yong's family was placed among the Yellow Turban captives and escorted to Liangzhou to guard the border, where they were favored by Niu Fu.

Just when Jia Xu resigned, Niu Fu promoted Guo Yong to be the chief secretary.This Guo Yong is also quite talented, and he does things in an orderly manner.

Guo Yong has one daughter and four sons, and another brother named Guo Yuan.

Unlike his elder brother, Guo Yuan doesn't like literary affairs, but he likes to dance with spears and clubs.

Make a crescent halberd and bow horse skillfully.Later, Guo Yong was recommended to Luoyang by Niu Fu. Dong Zhuo loved his talent and appointed Guo Yong as Gucheng magistrate.Although he is only a small official of seven hundred shi, for Guo Yong who has no support, Dong Zhuo's family is simply his benefactors.Therefore, after serving as Gu Chengling, it can be said that he is conscientious and diligent.

In addition to holding three thousand soldiers and horses, Guo Yong's other duty is to garrison the fields.

He is very unfamiliar with military affairs, but in terms of internal affairs, he is very good. Guo Yong contributed a lot to the smooth migration of the first batch of refugees.

But Guo Yong did not expect that Luo Yang would experience earth-shaking changes in just one day.

When Li Ru and others arrived in Gucheng, they really surprised Guo Yong.After learning the reason of the incident, Guo Yong was so angry that he scolded the court officials.Very straightforwardly handed over three thousand soldiers and horses to Li Ru, and then to the brothers of the Dian family.

Dianfu Dianyou has a calm demeanor and a decisive personality, completely different from Dianman.

After the two brothers took over the army, Dianyou immediately guarded the city, and Dianfu led 200 people, including [-] giant magicians, to Luoyang to meet Dong Pi.On the way, he met Dong Bi who was retreating to Gucheng, and returned to Gucheng together.

Dong Bi had completely calmed down, and compared with the past, he showed an unusual demeanor in his gestures.

He didn't cry.

After returning to Gucheng, he first visited his grandma, and then talked to Cai Yong and Liu Hong for a while.After the three old men settled down, they followed Li Ru to the backyard of the Gucheng government office.The fourth sister, Dong Yuan, is waiting for Dong Pi in the backyard.

"Daddy, really..."

Dong Yuan was no longer as savage as before, her face was as pale as paper, and she asked softly.

Dong Bi nodded, but did not speak.

He walked over and picked up the sleeping baby next to Dong Yuan.

"Boys? Girls?"

"It's a girl!"

Dong Yuan forced out a smile, but that smile was as ugly as it needed to be.

The little girl's face looks like her father's, very delicate.But those eyes looked very much like Dong Yuan, and Dong Bi couldn't help laughing.

"Brother-in-law, have you thought of a name?"

Li Ru shook his head, "How could I be in the mood to think about a name? If it wasn't for me, father..."

"Brother-in-law, Confucius said a word, the dead are like a man. The past is gone, and it is useless to regret it. Instead of regretting, it is better to think about the future, think about our future path, and think about how to find those people revenge."

Upon hearing this, Li Ru nodded vigorously.

Dong Yuan said, "Ah Chou, why don't you name the little girl."

"My name?"

Dong Bi couldn't help hesitating, glanced at Li Ru, but saw Li Ru nodded and said: "Xiping, I'm in a mess, you should come and name the child."

"All right!"

Dong Bi pondered for a while, "She was born outside the city...the outside of the city is called the suburb, the suburb is called the pasture, outside the pasture is called the field, the field is called the forest, and the outside of the forest is called the scorpion...well, let her be called Li Hey, let’s not forget today’s lesson.”

Li Yong?

Li Ru and Dong Yuan thought about it, and applauded softly.

This slight sound startled the sleeping Li Yan, who immediately opened his eyes and burst into tears.

Dong Bi hurriedly handed Li Yang to Dong Yuan. Under Dong Yuan's persuasion, Xiao Li Yang gradually stopped crying, stared at Dong Bi with wide eyes.

"Ah Chou, did you only bring these people?"

"There are still [-] back-to-back soldiers and [-] giant magicians in Hangu Pass, led by Wang Rongcheng and Liquyi. Lu'er and Jiaxiao are there. I met Yang Ci's assassination in Caoyang Pavilion... Although I asked Qu Yi to summon Hongnong soldiers, I estimate that Qu Yi will not be able to recruit many soldiers in Hongnong, at most he will gather the soldiers from the prefectures of Hongnong and Jiaocheng."

"That's not many people!"

According to the military system of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a county seat was at most [-] counties of national soldiers.

It seems that for towns like Hongnong and Jiaocheng that have not experienced military affairs for many years, it would be great to add up to a thousand county soldiers.

Li Ru said softly: "Counting Xu Rong and Guo Yong's soldiers and horses, plus the Iron Armored Army of the headquarters, there are only 8000 people."

"And my tiger girl?"

Dong Yuan couldn't help but said, "Don't underestimate my tiger girl."

She was still the fourth sister from before, and she was still just as competitive.Dong Yu couldn't help but feel relieved a lot in his heart.

Li Ru smiled wryly: "Even if you add your five hundred tiger girls, 500 people, attacking Luoyang City? I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"Then we can also summon Jingzhao's other soldiers and horses."

"Other soldiers and horses?"

Li Ru wryly smiled and said, "Who? Who will listen to our orders now? Yangdi Yang Ding, Xingyang Li Tong, Chenggao Han Meng, these are the three generals who command the most troops in Jingzhao. But when father is gone, they will No matter how you think about it, it’s not necessarily true.”

"Han Meng will definitely obey...but the far water can't quench the near thirst."

"That's the problem."

Li Ru pondered for a moment, "You can't stay in Gucheng for long. Although you have frightened Li Jue and Guo Si today, once they calm down, they will definitely pursue us. The most urgent thing is to retreat to Hangu Pass as soon as possible, and then find a way .”

"Well, this is the only way now."

Dong Bi was very unwilling in his heart, but he also understood that now is not the time to be a hero.

"After retreating to Hangu Pass, we must try to stop the soldiers of Li Jue and Guo Si. In this way, all the dragons in Sili will have no leader. The news of father's death will spread soon...well, Dafang will send troops from Lintao, Your trilogy will not sit idly by. In this way, we will seize the opportunity to occupy the Sanfu area, guard the pass, and wait for the opportunity to send troops to Luoyang."

Dong Bi nodded after hearing this.

"Very good, according to brother-in-law's idea."

Li Ru sighed, "It's a pity that we have worked so hard in Jingzhao this year..."

While talking, the figure outside the door shook.

Dong Bi turned his head to look, and saw Guo Yuan standing at the door.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

Guo Yuan said softly: "Report to Martial Arts Marquis, there are scouts ahead to report."

Dong Bi and Li Ru glanced at Dong Yuan.

"Go, go, don't worry about me... I have Tiger Girl guards and Zhongye's family to accompany me. It's fine."

"Then I will discuss the military situation with Xiping first, and I will accompany you later."

Dong Yuan's pale cheeks were blush, "Hurry up, don't want mother-in-law, you don't look like a man."

In front of Dong Yuan, Li Ru really couldn't show his temper.

Immediately smiled awkwardly, and accompanied Dong Bi out of the bedroom.

"Uncle Ye, what's the matter?"

Li Ru asked in a deep voice as he walked.

Guo Yuan looked at Dong Biao with some fear, and looked at Dong Biao a little inexplicably.

But the way he looks now is really scary.The whole body was covered in blood, and there were still some viscera and minced meat, which was terrible.

"My lord, I think you'd better go clean it first, we'll wait in the meeting hall."

Only then did Dong Bi notice his appearance.But he didn't react, Li Ru's name for him had changed.

He just nodded, called Dianman who was waiting outside, and strode away.

Under the seal of Guo's servants, Dong Bi came to a well.Take off the armor and hand it to Dianman to wash it aside.

Then he took out a change of clothes from the package and put them aside.

He picked up a bucket of well water and splashed it from head to toe.The slightly warm well water slid down from his body, and Dong Bi closed his eyes.

"Xiao Man, find a dagger!"

Dianman didn't understand what Dong Bi was going to do, so he agreed and ran out.

After a while, he came back with a short knife, handed it to Dong Bi, and said, "Second Uncle, what do you want this short knife for?"

Before he could finish asking, Dong Bi tested the sharpness of the knife, raised the short knife, and gently pushed it against the scalp, strands of black hair fell off from his head.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing?"

Dong Bi gritted his teeth and said softly, "If Li Jue and Guo Si don't die, I won't grow hair."

While talking, he shaved off all his hair.The dagger is very sharp, like a razor in Dong Bi's hand.

In the previous life, Dong Bi often kept his head bald, mainly for the convenience of walking in the mountains and forests.

But it's the first time I shave my hair with a murderous knife...

After shaving his hair, he lay down on the well and looked down.A bald head appeared on the water, and Dong Bi nodded in satisfaction.But when he turned around to look, he found that Dianman had also picked up a short knife and shaved his own hair beside him.

"Xiao Man, what are you doing?"

"Second Uncle has shaved his head, and Xiao Man will also shave. If you don't take revenge, you won't grow your hair!"

I'm speechless about this kid.Even if Dong Bi wanted to stop him, Dianman had already shaved half of it, so he couldn't go out with a yin and yang head.

Forget it, let him go.

Dong Bi picked up a bucket of well water and rinsed the hair on his body.

Then he changed into his clothes and strode towards the hall of the government office.

As soon as Dong Bi left, Niu Gang appeared beside the well, looking at Dianman who was shaving his head in surprise.

"Xiao Man, what are you doing?"

"Second Uncle said just now that he will not avenge this revenge and vow not to grow hair. He shaved off all his hair... I am learning from Second Uncle."

"Well, not bad, not bad!"

Niu Gang nodded, rolled his eyes, and ran away.

After a while, I saw Dianyou Dianfu running over with Niu Gang.

"Xiao Man, help us shave our hair..."

Dianman held the short knife and nodded in satisfaction, "This is the brother...hehe, which one will come first?"

******
Not to mention that Dianman and the boys were thinking about how to shave their hair.

When Dong Bi walked into the hall, everyone in the room was in a daze for a while with that bullish head.

But no one asked, Li Ru said, "My lord, please sit down."

He pointed to the grand master's chair in the middle, asking Dong Bi to sit down.This time, Dong Bi understood it, and said in surprise, "What are you doing? How can I sit in the middle? Brother-in-law, don't call me the lord... Sigh, what kind of song are you singing?"

Li Ru said solemnly: "The country cannot be without a master for a day. The grand master has left, but you have already appointed the master to take over before he was alive. We can't discuss the military situation without a person who presided over it. Therefore, before discussing, we need to make an appointment. This name is."

As soon as the words fell, Hua Xiong Xu Rong stood up at the same time, "My lord, please take a seat."

"My lord, please take a seat!"

Guo Yong and Guo Yuan also bowed and said.

Seeing that Dong Bi was still hesitating, Li Ru said, "My lord, this was not my idea. Wen Kai and the others also agreed."

"But I'm young, how can I do this job?"

Just as he was talking, he saw the Ke family brothers accompanying the old lady into the hall.After the old lady died, Shang followed Cai Yong and Liu Hong.

"Ah Chou, who can sit in this seat except you?"

The old lady Hong Sheng said: "Gan Luo can be the prime minister at the age of 12, why can't you afford the word 'lord'? You made your debut at the age of 14, and gained the reputation of being a tiger and wolf general. Jia, mentioning your name, Dong Pi, which hero in the world would not praise you? Not to mention, you attacked Shuofang and expanded the territory for my great man... Don't forget, you are the Hussar General Wu Gonghou, if you shrink back at this time , that's the one who can't be Dong Zhuo's son."

Dong Bi was startled, and couldn't help but fell silent.

Hua Xiong said: "My lord, apart from the old grand master in this world, I, Hua Xiong, only admire you. If you don't become my lord, who can be my lord?"

"That's right, Xu Rong thinks so too."

Guo Yong and Guo Yuan looked at each other, and then invited Dong Bi to sit down again.

"In that case..."

Dong Bi took a deep breath, strode to the chair in the middle and sat down, "Then I won't be polite anymore."

"I'm waiting to see the lord!"

Li Ruhuaxiong, Xu Rong and Guo Yong stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute.

The old lady said in a deep voice: "Keyi Keman, from today onwards, the two of you will work under Marquis Wugong's command. Work hard and fight for a good future for yourself."

Hong Sheng, the brother of the Ke family, obeyed the order and saluted in front of Dong Bi.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Ru suddenly opened his mouth to stop him, and there was a gleam of light in his slightly cloudy eyes, "Brother Ke, you two are serving under the command of the lord, so you should tell your true identity. I checked, Hanoi did not No one with a surname."

The old lady smiled slightly as if she had expected it.

Regardless of the situation in the hall, with the support of Cai Yong and Liu Hong, he walked out with a walking stick in his hand.

But Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and the others were startled, their gazes focused on the Ke family brothers.

This brother, is he also an enemy?

Dong Bi was not very nervous, and looked at the Ke family brother quietly.If the two brothers were really enemies, then the young and old of the Dong family would have died long ago.Moreover, although Li Ru said so, there was no expression on his face.

"Brother Ke, since the two of you have served me, you should tell the truth. Your brother's performance this year has been very good. If it weren't for the two of you, grandma might... I don't care who you two were before, since If you serve me now, then the past will be written off. However, I don’t like my subordinates, and they hide something from me.”

Brother Ke's expression was calm, but there was a touch of excitement in his eyes.

"Damn the villain, villain... My brothers and sisters really don't have a surname, but their surname is He."

"He?" Dong Bi looked at the two brothers in surprise, "Is it possible that you are from the He clan in Nanyang?"

Ke Yi shook her head, and said softly: "My brother is indeed from Hanoi. The villain's name is He Yi, and my brother's name is He Man. There is a nickname in the Jianghu, called Jietian Yacha, which has nothing to do with the He family in Nanyang. On the contrary, today Still a prisoner."

Criminal?

Before Dong Bi could react, Guo Yong suddenly exclaimed: "I remembered, you two are under Zhang Niujiao's command... You were still rebelling in Qingzhou in the early years, but you were defeated by Zhu Jun... I thought you were dead!"

Dong Bi couldn't help being stunned.

These two people are actually the remnants of the Yellow Turbans?
