Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies
Chapter [63] Intrigue
Entering the gorgeous palace room, Dong Zhuo's inner house is magnificently decorated.
Not to mention the palace in Chang'an, even the palace in Luoyang is not as luxurious.
Entering the hall, one can see Dong Zhuo on the main seat at a glance.
"The last general pays his respects to Xiangguo." Lu Bu bowed and saluted.
"Haha." Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Feng Xian is back, free of courtesy, no need to be so estranged with our family, the banquet has been prepared, take your seat quickly."
"Thank you, Xiangguo." Lu Bu cupped his hands and saluted again, then sat down at the table.
Li Ru took the seat together, but Xu Rong could only stand aside holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Xu Rong's official position is not high, nor is he highly valued, and he is not from Xiliang. Dong Zhuo directly ignored Xu Rong.
"Fengxian's contribution to the breakup of the army and the time for the imperial court to move the capital is indisputable.
"Now that you've returned safely, let's have a drink to celebrate." Dong Zhuo raised the cup of wine in his hand after speaking.
"Thank you, Xiangguo, for giving me the wine." Lu Bu thanked him first, and then changed the topic: "However, I still have arrow wounds on my body, so it is not suitable for drinking, and I hope Xiangguo will forgive me.
Dong Zhuo paused when he heard the words, and the displeasure flashed across his face.
Lu Bu pretended he didn't see it, since Lu Bu doesn't know how to drink this wine anyway, who knows if there is poison in it.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks; when the birds are gone, the good bow hides.
The Eighteenth Route princes are gone, and Lu Bu, who holds a heavy army, is no longer Dong Zhuo's reliance, but a scourge that cannot be lost.
Moreover, Lu Bu is extremely powerful, if we say that the easiest way to kill Lu Bu is undoubtedly poisoned wine.
One cup down, no matter how strong Lu Bu is, he will die.
Therefore, refusing to drink alcohol is undoubtedly the safest way to make an excuse that you are hurting yourself.
"How is the injury? Do we need to call the doctor?" Dong Zhuo showed concern.
Since you said that you are injured, then I will treat you as if you are injured, but you need a doctor to show you.
"It's just a small injury. When I broke out from Hulao Pass, I was injured by Liu Shi." Lu Bu pretended not to care.
Although Lu Bu did not directly refuse, but the meaning behind the words was revealed, and there was no need for the doctor to check.
As soon as these words came out, doubts arose in Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's hearts.
At this time, Xu Rong on the side saw that something was wrong, and quickly covered Lu Bu.
"Xiangguo, Junhou was indeed injured, when fighting against the allied forces of the princes, Junhou always took the lead and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru heard Xu Rong come out to testify, their doubts immediately dissipated. This is the benefit of having internal support.
"In this case, Fengxian doesn't need to drink for the sake of his health." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, he started drinking on his own.
"Thank you, Xiangguo, for your understanding. At the end, there will be two things to dedicate to Xiangguo." Lu Bu said.
In any case, Dong Zhuo's face was swept away by refusing to drink just now.
At this time, it is very appropriate to take out the Chuanguo Yuxi to ease the tense relationship and atmosphere.
Dong Zhuo raised expectations when he heard the words, the news had already reached Chang'an that Lu did not get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
"Feng Xian shot, it must be something extraordinary." Dong Zhuo pretended not to know, but his face was already smiling.
Without any haste, Lu took out the Chuan Guo Yuxi from his bosom.
"Xiangguo, this item was obtained by the last general in the ruins of the Luoyang Imperial Palace. I heard that it is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and it happened to be dedicated to Xiangguo."
Dong Zhuo gave Li Ru a look, and Li Ru immediately got up and walked in, took the Chuanguo Seal from Lu Bu, handed it to Dong Zhuo, and said: "Xiangguo, it should be the Chuanguo Seal."
"Hahaha! This is really a great treasure!" Dong Zhuo took the Chuanguo Yuxi carefully, and kept playing with it in his hand, loving it.
Ordered by the sky, life will last forever.
These eight big characters have caused many people in the past dynasties to fight for their heads and blood. Countless people have sacrificed their lives for this, but they still have no hesitation.
A small jade seal can drive countless people crazy.
"Xiangguo got such a treasure, it shows that the destiny is on Xiangguo, the general will think that Xiangguo should be the emperor, let the little emperor go away." Lu Bu bluntly persuaded him.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were dumbfounded when they heard the words.
Even if it is persuasion, the wording should be subtle.
Lu Bu's words are too naked and disrespectful to the emperor.
"Uh... this... Fengxian, don't talk nonsense." Dong Zhuo waved his hands quickly, Lu Bu couldn't handle Dong Zhuo anymore.
Lu Bu did it on purpose to lure Dong Zhuo into proclaiming himself emperor.
If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy.
No one can withstand the temptation of going to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the throne is at your fingertips, who can resist it?
Lu Bu didn't intend to persuade Dong Zhuo all at once, but he only needed to plant a seed in Dong Zhuo's heart. In the future, without Lu not bothering, this seed would take root and sprout by itself.
Desires are hard to fill, and people's desires and ambitions are endless.
Although Li Ru couldn't figure out Lu Bu's sinister intentions, he also realized that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, why did you frame Xiangguo? What is your intention?"
"Why did I frame Xiangguo?" Lu Bu pretended to be ignorant and asked back, "Xiangguo is the emperor, and all of us will be promoted accordingly. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Lu Bu looked carefree, and spoke with confidence, which once again confused Li Ru.
Although Li Ru is very resourceful, he can't see through the heart, let alone the soul.
Who would have thought that the original Lu Bu had disappeared and was replaced by another person?
"Stop, stop!" Dong Zhuo stopped him, "Our family knows Fengxian's intentions, but we are not allowed to mention such things in the future, let alone talk about them in front of outsiders."
"Here." Lu Bu agreed with cupped fists.
"By the way." Dong Zhuo changed the topic, "Didn't Fengxian say two things? What is the other one?"
"Go, ask Gao Shun to send it in." Lu Bu ordered.
The waiter at the side took the order and left, and after a while Gao Shun came in holding the wooden box.
In front of Dong Zhuo, Gao Shun directly opened the wooden box, and there was a human head inside.
Dong Zhuo was not surprised at all. Dong Zhuo had killed countless people in Xiliang for many years, so he would not be frightened by a single head.
"Fengxian, whose head is this?" Dong Zhuo couldn't help asking.
"Reporting to Xiangguo, it was Sun Jian, the traitor who did not kill him and dedicated it to Xiangguo." Lu Bu replied.
"Hahaha~" Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing out loud when he learned that it was Sun Jian's head, "What a great death! Good!"
Among the vassals of the Eighteen Routes, who is Dong Zhuo the most generous?
Undoubtedly, they are the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao who rebelled against them, and Sun Jian.
He hated the Yuan family brothers, naturally because Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, but Dong Zhuo had vented his anger by killing Yuan Kai's family.
I hate Cao Cao because Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo and took the lead in raising troops.
As for Sun Jian, it is a new hatred and an old hatred.
The old hatred is that Sun Jian was under Zhang Wen and followed Zhang Wen to crusade against the Qiang people.
Dong Zhuo was quite prestigious among the Qiang people, so the court sent Dong Zhuo to assist Zhang Wen.
Sun Jian couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's behavior. Dong Zhuo disrespected Zhang Wen very much in his words, so Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo.
Although Dong Zhuo did not die because of this, Liang Zi must have ended.
The new enemy was naturally Sun Jian's participation in the campaign against Dong Zhuo. At that time, Sun Jian was the prefect of Changsha, and he led the troops all the way from the south to the north.
Seeing the head of his enemy in front of him now, Dong Zhuo couldn't be happier.
"Okay, okay, Feng Xian has a heart, our family likes these two gifts very much, we really like them!"
After the two gifts were sent out, Dong Zhuo was in a great mood, and the previous unhappiness disappeared in no time.
After that, the banquet went on very happily, everyone ate meat and drank wine, talked and laughed.
Lu Bu originally thought that this banquet would end smoothly like this, but something happened again.
"A Weng! A Weng! You have to decide for your daughter."
A woman ran up suddenly, knelt down in front of Dong Zhuo, and wept.
Seeing this, Lu Bu cursed inwardly, there are too many fucking tricks.
No need to ask, this woman must be Dong Zhuo's daughter and Niu Fu's wife.
When he ran in at this time, he was deliberately acting for himself.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see that I have business to do? Get out!" Dong Zhuo cursed.
"Ah Weng, your son-in-law is about to be beaten to death, don't you have the heart to make your daughter a widow?" The woman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
"What?!" Dong Zhuo pretended to be angry, "Who is so bold? Dare to hit my son-in-law, Dong Zhuo?"
"It's Lu Bu! Ah Weng must make decisions for his daughter!"
"Fart! Feng Xian is our adopted son, and Niu Fu is our son-in-law. They are brothers, so how could they be in conflict? Don't listen to those rumors, step back!" Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves, The woman drives away.
The play has reached this point, and Lu Bu couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid, so he said:
"Xiangguo, it's not a rumor. The last general really beat Niu Fu. I, Lu Bu, have always been daring!"
"Fengxian, what's the purpose of this?" Dong Zhuo asked in surprise.
"That guy Niu Fu actually blocked the general at the Hangu Pass, and said he was ordered by Xiangguo. The general knew that Niu Fu was lying when he heard it. How could Xiangguo harm me?"
"That Niu Fu not only falsely passed on the military order, tarnished the reputation of the prime minister, but also harmed countless soldiers because of it."
"Xu Rong's Xiliang army was overtaken by the allied forces of the princes because they were unable to enter Hangu Pass, and the entire army was wiped out.
"There are still soldiers who are not under the general's command, and thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost because of this."
"If it wasn't for Xiangguo's face, the general would have killed that guy long ago!"
Lu Bu gritted his teeth, became more and more angry, and slapped the desk in front of him.
"boom!"
He directly smashed the case in front of him, and made a speech full of emotion, drawing a successful conclusion to this performance.
Not only did he explain clearly the reason for the beating, but he also directly pinned Niu Fu on Niu Fu's head with the blame for the death of five thousand Xiliang soldiers.
Originally, this matter was not easy to explain, but after Niu Fu made such a fuss, Lu Bu could pass the test easily.
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he learned that all the five thousand Xiliang troops had died, and his face could not help showing a look of pain.
Lu Bu's words were reasonable, but Dong Zhuo couldn't say anything wrong about Lu Bu, so he could only complain slightly: "That can't beat people to death.
"Xiangguo Mingjian, it's not that the last general is cruel, but that Niu Fu couldn't help beating him, and the last general kicked him, and he was going to die, it was really vulnerable.
Li Ru was stunned secretly when he heard the words, and cast a questioning look at Xu Rong.
Xu Rong naturally nodded slightly towards Lu Bu, expressing that what Lu Bu said was true.
"Xiangguo, there is a reason for the incident. There must be some misunderstanding. It is better to wait for Niu Fu to heal and let him explain the situation to Chang'an to resolve the misunderstanding." Li Ru said.
This is another step, a step for both Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, to expose this matter.
"Yes yes yes, Wen Li's words are reasonable." Dong Zhuo nodded immediately, "Feng Xian, when we ask you clearly later, our family will ask Niu Fu to come to your door to apologize.
"Your Majesty, let's talk about how much the army has won. Xiangguo would like to present to the court and commend meritorious ministers." Li Ru changed the topic just now.
"`~ In the offensive and defensive battle of Hulao Pass, the enemy will be killed by about 5,000 people."
"Niu Fu blocked Hangu Pass, and eventually he was forced to return to Luoyang, and fought against the coalition forces of the princes twice."
"One time beheaded Sun Jian and 50,000 men under his command, and the other time he killed more than 5,000 cavalry from the allied forces of the princes.
The offensive and defensive battle of Hulao Pass is relatively
Normally, it is not difficult to kill five thousand enemies by relying on the pass.
But the last two times were quite outrageous. When they were blocked outside the Hangu Pass, they killed 50,000 enemies at one time and 5,000 cavalry at one time.
Li Ru couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Lu Bu is definitely an outstanding general.
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo has no intention of going to the world now.
The fiercer a general like Lu Bu is, the greater the threat he will pose to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo encouraged Lu Bu again, and said something not salty.
There was no nutrition in the second half of the banquet. When the banquet was over, Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu to go back first and wait for the court's reward.
Leaving in big strides, Xu Rong hurriedly said: "My lord, your weapon." He chased after him.
Lu Bu took Fang Tian's painted halberd from Xu Rong's hand, and said in a low voice, "The Xiliang army will release the news that Dong Zhuo intends to take the throne, understand?"
Xu Rong gave Lu Bu a reassuring look, then turned and left.
It's not terrible for Lu Bu to persuade him to enter alone. What's terrible is that the whole Xiliang army persuaded him to enter.
As Lu Bu said, when Dong Zhuo ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, all his subordinates followed suit and got rich.
When the Xiliang army all hoped that Dong Zhuo would ascend the throne, even if Dong Zhuo himself was not willing to be the emperor, he would be forced to ascend the throne and be pushed to the throne by countless people.
Because it concerns everyone's interests, the Xiliang army will spare no effort to support Dong Zhuo to go further, so that the people below can follow suit.
When they came to the front yard, they took Gao Shun and Wubai into the camp and left Meiwu smoothly.
This Hongmen Banquet, Lu Bu has passed the test.
Even if there are any hidden dangers, Xu Rong will help him settle everything.
In the main hall, after Xu Rong returned, Dong Zhuo immediately asked: "Xu Rong, is what Lu Bu said before true? Was there any deception? How did the five thousand Xiliang soldiers die?"
"Returning to Xiangguo, after you left Hulao Pass, more than 200,000 troops of the coalition army surrounded Hulao Pass, intending to surround us to death..." Xu Rong began to tell.
"When breaking out from Hulao Pass, the Xiliang Army didn't (Zhao Nuohao) listen to the commander's command...in fact, they didn't listen to the general's command too much, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses.
"After that, he was blocked at Hangu Pass again, and was forced to go back to fight the coalition forces of the princes. After two battles, he died in sevens and eighties, but there were still some wounded.
"Jun Hou despised these people as a burden, so he just threw them away."
What Xu Rong said is half-truth and half-false, some are true and some are false, true and false, it is difficult to distinguish.
And Xu Rong didn't blindly excuse Lu Bu, that would be too obvious and would make people suspicious.
Instead, they made up some innocuous charges for Lu Bu. These charges would not bring any trouble to Lu Bu, but they could make Xu Rong's lies more real and deceptive.
"Where did the extra cavalry under Lu Bu come from?" Li Ru asked.
"Some of the war horses were left behind by the Xiliang Army after their death, and some were captured coalition cavalry, and then equipped them with the Bingzhou Army." Xu Rong had already prepared the draft.
After listening to Xu Rong's narration, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, and then said: "Back off."
"Here." Xu Rong bowed and retired, successfully helping Lu Bu cover up the lie.
"Wen Li, can Lu be rebellious?" After Xu Rong left, Dong Zhuo asked in a deep voice.
"Combined with Xu Rong's description, it's out of the question to be rebellious. I definitely hate the Xiliang army and the generals of Xiliang." Li Ru paused for a moment and continued: "But this is normal, the generals of Xiliang
It's normal for Lu Bu to hate them all the time. "
"But these are not important. The important thing is that Lu Bu is a tiger. It depends on whether Xiangguo wants to keep this tiger by his side.
Whether or not to engage in Lu Bu depends on Dong Zhuo's intentions, whether Dong Zhuo intends to raise tigers or kill tigers for fun.
Raising tigers is a problem. "Dong Zhuo sighed.
"I understand." Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's meaning.
Although Lu Bu's brilliant record this time repulsed the allied forces of the princes for Dong Zhuo, it also made Dong Zhuo even more jealous.
"How do you plan to do it?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"Let's cut Lu Bu's military power first." Li Ru said without hesitation.
"It's so good."
