The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Lintao County, Longyou County, Liangzhou, a bluestone-paved street divides the entire county into two sides. There are some items for sale scattered on the street, but no one comes to patronize.At noon in this autumn, the entire county town seemed extraordinarily quiet.

But the sound of horseshoes suddenly broke the tranquility here, and a man in green clothes galloped across the street like a horse flying, heading straight for the most magnificent compound at the east end of the city.Everyone in Lintao County knew that the house, which was more impressive than the county government office or even the state government office, was the famous Dong's house in Lintao.

"Could it be that the master of the Dong family has finally received another appointment from the imperial court and is going to be an official outside?"

"That's thankful. Since Mr. Dong was deprived of his official position and came back, the Dong family's temper has become even worse. We are not less angry with them."

"I recognize that person just now. He is Master Dong's son-in-law. Judging by his eager appearance, something big must have happened." Some small traders around had a rare topic to talk about, so they immediately made their own guesses. .

However, the speculations of these grassroots people were not noticed by the man in Tsing Yi. He quickly came to the mansion, and then pulled the rein of the horse, and turned over before the horse stopped.Seeing that it was him, the two servants in front of the door hurried over to wait on him, helped him lead the horse inside, and said hello to him.

It wasn't until this time that he could clearly see what this person looked like.This is a young man in his 20s. He looks very handsome. The only fly in the ointment is a pair of inverted triangle eyes, which makes people feel like a vulture.After the young man handed over the horse to the servant, he walked forward quickly and asked at the same time, "Is father-in-law in the mansion now?"

"Yes, master is resting in the rain listening pavilion in the back garden." One of the servants said hastily.

The young man nodded, said nothing more, and immediately went straight to the back garden.This Dong Mansion covers an area of ​​about [-] acres. In addition to the general courtyard, a large garden of nearly ten acres was built at the back along the water flow. If you only know that someone is in the garden, you can't find it. It's not that easy.

But since he knew the exact location of the other party, it was easy for the young man. After walking briskly for a while, he finally came to a gazebo built on top of the water.It wasn't until this time that he stabilized his footsteps. After arranging his appearance and clothes a little, he walked over, and then saluted the people in the pavilion: "My son-in-law has seen Mr. Yuezhang."

There was a huge body reclining in the pavilion, and when he heard someone greet him, he turned his head, and what caught his eyes was a huge face, with rough and distinct features, and what was more striking was his messy face. The thick and messy beard made people feel the wildness emanating from this person immediately.

But when he saw the person coming, this mighty and tall man laughed, which diluted a lot of wildness: "So it's Wen You. You don't work in the county government. You come to see me at this time, but what happened?" Is it?"

"Your father-in-law is indeed wise. I came here because I just learned about a major event." The young man smiled and sat on the seat next to the big man, and then said: "The imperial court's decree has finally come down."

"Oh? Is it for the rebellion of the Qiang people?" The big man picked up a wine vase in front of him, took a big sip, and asked casually.

"That's right. When the Fanqiang people were in chaos, my son-in-law once asserted that this is a good opportunity for my father-in-law to rise again. Now it seems that this statement will soon come true."

"Why do you know? What decree did the court issue?" A gleam of light flashed in the big man's eyes.

"Order Geng Bi to be the commander, and command the soldiers and horses of the six counties to calm the chaos." When he said this, the corners of the young man's mouth were raised slightly, showing disdain.

"Ha, the imperial court really knows how to employ people!" The big man couldn't help but sneered after hearing this: "Geng despise this person, but he is good at flattery, and he only became the governor by making good friends with those eunuchs. Commanding an army of [-] troops from six counties? The Qiang people are no ordinary horse thieves and bandits. With him alone, I am afraid that the whole of Xiliang will fall into the enemy's hands."

"Exactly. But father-in-law, this is an excellent result for you. Once Geng Bi loses his army and loses his troops, the imperial court will definitely choose another talented person to lead the army and fight the Qiang people. And in the entire Xiliang territory, in terms of prestige, ability, and even familiarity with the Qiang people, your father-in-law is the first choice. So my son-in-law thinks this is the time for us to turn around." The young man said a little excitedly.

The big man also changed slightly, and then nodded: "That's right! Thinking that I, Dong Zhuo, have been operating in Xiliang for many years, how can I completely lose my power because of the failure of the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion! This time, I must borrow Qiang The Rebellion of People has regained the approval of the imperial court, and let those who want to suppress me know how powerful they are!" This person is naturally a hero in Xiliang, and he is also Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, the culprits who will cause the Eastern Han Dynasty to completely turmoil in the future.

The Dong family has always been a powerful family in Xiliang, with great influence. After Dong Zhuo became the head of the family, he even had a lot of friendship with the surrounding Qiang people, thus mastering a powerful military force in his hands, which was finally reused by the court. .

However, Dong Zhuo's official career was not smooth. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years ago, he was ordered by the court to lead troops to suppress the rebellion.Unexpectedly, this time he suffered repeated defeats, which eventually provoked the court to take away all his official positions and repatriate him back to his hometown Lintao.

But Dong Zhuo is not a person who is willing to give up casually. Even if the court seizes his official position, he is still secretly grasping the power of his original army.Only because of righteousness, Dong Zhuo did not do anything out of the ordinary. In the past few years, he has been dormant and waiting for the moment of his comeback.And this Qiang rebellion is an excellent opportunity.

Originally, Dong Zhuo hoped that the court would reinstate himself as an official after learning of the Qiang people's rebellion, and then let him lead troops to quell the rebellion.Unexpectedly, in the end, the court didn't think of him at all, but entrusted such an important task to an incompetent person like Geng Bi. It would be unrealistic to say that he has no resentment.

However, even though there was resentment in his heart, Dong Zhuo still didn't express much emotion in front of his trusted counselor and son-in-law Li Ru. He just thought that Geng Bi would definitely fail and he would have a chance when the time came.

But Li Ruke didn't have any worries in this regard, and continued: "But there are no absolutes. If father-in-law Geng Bi really wins this time, it will be very bad for us."

Indeed, if Geng Bi led Liangzhou's soldiers to quell the Qiang rebellion, his status in Xiliang and in the imperial court would increase greatly.At that time, the court will only remember Geng Bi and will completely forget that there was a man named Dong Zhuo, and he will probably live such an ordinary life.

Although Dong Zhuo was somewhat disapproving of such speculation, he still frowned: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?"

"In my son-in-law's opinion, we should help him." Li Ru's eyes flashed fierceness when he said this: "Niu Fu is in the army, so he should have a way to do things." Niu Fu and He is also Dong Zhuo's confidant and his son-in-law, and he can be said to be one of the few people who are most loyal to him.

Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, as a person who had commanded the army, he naturally knew that once there were people with bad intentions inside, the damage to the army would be great, and he understood the consequences even better.It is very likely that this will lead to the collapse of the Liangzhou army as a whole, and Liangzhou will eventually be captured by the Qiang people.But when he thought of how Geng Bi would hurt him if he succeeds, he quickly put this worry behind him: "Just do it like this, Niu Fu will definitely be able to complete the matter!"

"The son-in-law is trying to find a way to inform him and let him act accordingly!" Li Ru stood up as he spoke, and was about to arrange everything.Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction, and then urged: "This matter is important, you must proceed with caution!"

"Don't worry, my lord, Confucianism will live up to the entrustment!" This time, Li Ru no longer referred to him as Weng and son-in-law, but changed to the title of master and servant, which was more prudent.

After Li Ru left, Dong Zhuo also left the Tingyu Pavilion, came to his study, quickly wrote several letters, then called his cronies and ordered them to deliver the letters everywhere.With Dong Zhuo and the Dong family's management in Xiliang for many years, Niu Fu is naturally not the only one in power. In order to ensure that his calculations can succeed, he will use all the power he can use this time to hinder Geng Bi's army. Trapped it to death!

?????????

When Dong Zhuo secretly wanted to deal with Geng Bi, all the officials and soldiers in Long County knew the intention of the court, including Ma Teng.And when he relayed the news to Ma Yuezhi, the latter showed a look of worry on his face: "Father, this is not good news. Geng Bi has limited abilities, and he has never led a soldier before." After the battle, wouldn’t it be a joke for the whole of Xiliang to lead the army to fight the Qiang people with an army of tens of thousands?”

"The imperial decree said so, can we still refuse?" Ma Teng was also very disturbed by this: "Xiaokang, do you have any solution to this?" The previous series of events have already made Ma Teng I have a certain dependence on my son's resourcefulness, and now I have a question, I can't help but want to ask him.

But this time, Ma Yue was helpless: "Now we have to take one step at a time. Although the Qiang people are more powerful than us now, they are a foreign race after all, and they are unpopular. As long as the three armies are willing to use their lives, it is not wrong to wipe them out." What is too difficult. However, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and Geng Inspector must be sent out troops quickly, and the power of the Qiang people will be wiped out before the power of the Qiang people expands further!"

"That's all. I'll go to see Prefect Li and ask him to speak with other officials and urge Geng Bi to send troops to quell the chaos!" Ma Teng made a decision immediately, shook his hands and left.But Ma Yue's last sentence was ignored by him: "And once Geng Bi has such power, he will definitely not let us who are enemies be spared, so we should be prepared!"
