Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49
The Weiyang Palace in the Imperial City of Chang'an is the meeting place for the emperor and ministers. In the grand front hall, the court meeting headed by Dong Zhuo is being held.The young emperor Liu Bianruo on the dragon chair was sitting quietly like a puppet, while Dong Zhuo standing next to the emperor was wearing full armor and a long sword at his waist, looking majestically at the court officials.

The court ministers and ministers attending the meeting were divided into two rows, with Wen on the left and Wu on the right, kneeling on the ground.

Although Chen Wei's status is as high as the General of Chariots and Cavalry, compared with Taiwei Huangfusong and Zuo General Dong Min, he can only be ranked in the middle and upper reaches, while the deputy commander Gongyang Guo is behind Chen Wei.The civil servants are headed by Situ Wangyun and Sikong Li Ru.

Among the ministers, Dong Zhuo was the only one standing, and the rest were obediently kneeling.

"Everyone, get up for us." Dong Zhuo had a big body, with his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, and he had a majestic aura after being in the top position for a long time.

After everyone thanked them, they dared to stand up.

At this time, Dong Zhuo said, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "Now the traitor Zhu Jun is attacking Chang'an in the name of the Qing emperor's side. According to the spies' report, he will soon come to Luoyang. All the ministers will eat the emperor's salary and receive favors Beloved princes and ministers, please tell me what to do."

There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to be the first bird.

Dong Zhuo's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Usually when you ministers slander our family in private, you talk eloquently and eloquently, why don't you all speak now?"

The ministers in the hall whispered to each other and talked a lot.

Chen Wei looked at Huangfu Song and Wang Yun, only to see that they looked at each other tacitly, with smiles in their eyes.Chen Wei naturally knew what they were thinking.

But at this time, Li Ru came out and said: "Teacher, although Zhu Jun's rebels are coming fiercely, there are nearly ten thousand elite soldiers under the command of General Guo Si stationed in Luoyang City. If Zhu Jun wants to capture Luoyang, it will be as difficult to attack Chang'an The only concern is that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou has surrendered unconditionally to Cao Cao. Cao Cao claims to have 30 Qingzhou soldiers, and his power is gradually growing, and he already has ambitions to go southwest."

When Chen Wei heard the word Cao Cao, he couldn't help being shocked.Hearing that Cao Cao had occupied Qingzhou, he couldn't help but set off a huge wave in his heart.Because in history, nearly 30 Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers surrendered to Cao Cao, including nearly a million people including their family members, Cao Cao chose soldiers who were physically fit to be Qingzhou soldiers, and the rest were engaged in agricultural production for rear supplies.From that moment on, Cao Cao began to gradually reach the peak of his life.

"If we had known this before, our family shouldn't have let Cao Aman go!" Dong Zhuo was annoyed and angry, regretting that he couldn't make it.

"Then what's your plan, Aiqing?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru.Li Ru has always been Dong Zhuo's most reliable adviser.

Li Ru obviously had already thought of a countermeasure, and he cupped his hands and replied: "Although Cao Cao claims to have 30 Qingzhou soldiers, in my opinion, excluding women and children, there are only 15 who can really fight, and most of them are yellow scarf peasant soldiers who have just been subdued." , the combat power is limited, so you only need to send a resourceful and valiant general to lead [-] elite soldiers to the battle. Together with General Guo Si, the [-] elite soldiers can not only resist Zhu Jun's siege, but also To prevent Cao Cao from going down from the southwest, this is a surefire strategy, please learn from the grand master!"

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment, and his tiger eyes scanned the generals back and forth, and then asked Li Rudao: "Then Aiqing thinks which general in the hall is the most suitable for this position?"

Li Ru pretended to think for a moment, and said: "General Chen's ingenuity shown in Shouyang Mountain, and his command of the military to defeat Zhang Ji, can be described as both wise and brave, so he is naturally the best candidate, but he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is responsible for protecting the emperor. The responsibility of the city is very important, so naturally it is not suitable to lead an army...so I think this person is chosen as the Gongyang country..."

But before Li Ru could finish speaking, General Dong Min of the left stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I think it's inappropriate. The Gongyang Kingdom is not strong enough to take on this position, regardless of prestige or ability..."

"Although the Gongyang Kingdom had no record before, he came from Kongtong Mountain. Everyone knows that there are many talents in Kongtong Mountain. Gongyang Kingdom can be named one of the Five Swordsmen by the head. General Fan Chou, who defeated a famous general in the army, was full of praise for him, and I think Gongyang Guo is the best candidate!" Li Ru said immediately.

"But both Zhu Jun and Cao Cao are not to be underestimated. Leading the army to resist is a very important matter. If Luoyang cannot be preserved, Chang'an will also be in danger. I believe that Chen Wei should take this responsibility out of prudence!" Dong Min refused to give up. .Obviously, neither side is willing to give up the opportunity to make military exploits.Only military exploits are the kingly way, and only by obtaining military exploits can one be promoted to a noble and have greater power.

Chen Wei naturally knew what Dong Min and Li Ru were thinking. Instead, he hoped that the Gongyang Kingdom would really compete with him for the spot, because if he couldn't go to the battle, then Huangfusong and Wang Yun, the royalists, would let him go , but aimed at the Ram Kingdom.

Apparently, the fight between Li Ru and Dong Min for the benefit of both sides made Huangfu Song, Wang Yun and others hesitate. They thought Chen Wei was the natural candidate, but Li Ru, relying on Dong Zhuo's favor to him, recommended him without a trace of military exploits. of Rams.This incident disrupted their pre-planning, Huangfusong and Wang Yun couldn't help whispering and discussing quietly.Even if they kill Chen Wei at this moment, Gongyang Kingdom will become the second choice.

"Lord Situ, what should I do?" Huangfusong asked softly in Wang Yun's ear.

Although Wang Yun was old, his eyes were piercing. He pondered for a while and said: "Chen Wei has a serious problem in his heart after all, so he can't stay."

Huangfu Song understood.

This scene fell in Chen Wei's eyes. Although he couldn't hear their conversation, he guessed that it must have something to do with him.Chen Wei silently prayed in his heart that he would not be chosen, not because he was worried about Huangfu Song and the others, but because Chen Wei did not want to meet Cao Cao, a future hero. But Wei knew how powerful Cao Cao was!

At this time, the battle between Dong Min and Li Ru became more and more intense.

However, Li Ru's sudden words made the debate more explosive in an instant.

"According to my opinion, Gongyang Kingdom may not necessarily lose to Chen Wei!" Li Ru said expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Wei trembled all over, and looked at Li Ru suddenly, only to see the sly gleam in Li Ru's eyes looking at him, which was fleeting.Chen Wei is so smart, he knew Li Ru's plan immediately.

From the beginning to the end, he created opportunities for the confrontation between himself and the Ram Kingdom, a sinister and cunning person!

Although he has already understood Li Ru's conspiracy, Chen Wei's status has already doomed his own destiny that he cannot control at all.

Sure enough, Dong Min would not start from Chen Wei's point of view, even if he knew it was a trap, he would step into it, because Chen Wei was his bargaining chip, his pawn, and if he could use Chen Wei, he would naturally put Chen Wei in the trap. Squeeze out all the available value on your body!
"Chen Wei is brave and courageous. Everyone in Chang'an City knows it. You must rely on him in Shouyang Mountain to make Niu Fu's army retreat and Zhu Jun suffer heavy losses." Dong Min retorted and smiled. : "As for the Gongyang Kingdom, not to mention the lack of seniority, it's hard to say whether it can win against Chen Wei."

"General Zuo's words are wrong..."

Li Ru was about to answer the conversation, but Dong Zhuo, who was already impatient, immediately waved his hand to stop the argument between the two, and fixed his eyes on Chen Wei and Gongyang Guo.

The two immediately stepped forward and knelt in front of Dong Zhuo.

"Both of you are talents, our family asks you two, who is willing to take on this important task?" Dong Zhuo asked.

The eyes of all the princes and ministers were fixed on the two of them.

"My Gongyang Kingdom is willing to go, as long as the grand master gives an order, I will definitely go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate." Gongyang Kingdom knelt down immediately.

Chen Wei raised his head and met Dong Min's eyes. Dong Min squinted slightly and winked at Chen Wei, obviously wanting Chen Wei to try his best to win this opportunity.

Chen Wei secretly sighed in his heart that he still can't fall out with Dong Min, so he could only say: "The same is true for my minister!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, he glanced back and forth between the two, hesitating in his heart, and finally said: "Let our family think about this matter more, today's court meeting is here, and we will discuss it tomorrow!"
