The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 7 Chapter 44: Dong Zhuolang's advisor hero (middle)

For example, Xiyuan, Xianyangyuan, etc., were originally the imperial gardens, but now the Han Dynasty is declining, the capital is in great chaos, and Dong Zhuo has brought troops into the city. At this moment, Xianyangyuan has become Dong Zhuo's "palace".

Before reaching Yuanlin, I had already encountered Xiliang cavalry patrolling and guarding the outside world one after another. Some of the cavalry were Han and some were Hu people. Both Hu and Han were wearing armor and holding geese and bows and arrows. They were very tough.

Comparing the Hu and Han cavalry that Xun Zhen encountered in secret with those of Dong Zhuo's trilogy he saw in Julu many years ago, he came to the conclusion that the cavalry in front of him seemed to be comparable to Dong Zhuo's trilogy back then. To be better.

This is not surprising.

First, these cavalry can patrol outside Xianyang Garden, and they are obviously the elite of Dong Zhuo's subordinates; second, the new emperor has ascended the throne now, six years have passed since the first year of Zhongping, and Dong Zhuo has been fighting continuously during these six years. , it is normal for his subordinates to be more brave and good at fighting because of this. This can also be seen from Xun Zhen's episodes. Compared with six years ago, Xun Zhen's current episodes are also much better at fighting.

Xu Rong noticed that Xun Zhen was paying attention to the cavalry he encountered on the road, and thought he was wondering why most of the cavalry looked at him when the horses passed by. He smiled and said, "Marquis Xun, most of these knights are from General Dong's former department, and many of them have been following General Dong for more than ten years. Six years ago, in Julu, Jizhou, they had seen the heroic appearance of Junhou on the battlefield. It is because I still remember the appearance of Junhou, so when we meet on the road, it is inevitable to look at it frequently."

Xun Zhen smiled and looked reminiscent of the past, and sighed: "Six years ago, I was recruiting Zhang Jiao from General Huangfu, because I had to meet Dong Hou in Jizhou, six years have passed, but today I will meet Dong Hou again. See you here."

Xu Rong pointed forward and said with a smile: "It's not far from Xianyang Garden, Junhou, General Dong has been waiting for Junhou for a long time. I haven't seen him for six years. Not only do I miss Junhou, General Dong also misses being side by side with Junhou. The scene of killing a thief. After Junhou and General Dong meet later, if you want, you can share arms with General Dong."

Xun Zhenyuan looked down at Xianyang Garden in front of him, pretending to be casual, and suddenly asked with a smile: "There are many warriors under Dong Hou's command along the way, and I heard that Dong Hou also left many soldiers in the north and south palaces of the city. Now, I am building a camp in Xianyang Garden again...Xu Jun, I wonder how many soldiers Dong Hou brought in total this time?"

Xu Rong rode ahead to lead the way, half a horse ahead of Xun Zhen. Hearing Xun Zhen's question, he turned his head and glanced at Xun Zhen with a smile on his face, and replied, "General Dong has entered the capital this time. Before, General Dong and I were not in the same battalion, but were stationed in another camp, so I don't know how many troops and horses came to Luo from General Dong this time."

Although Xu Rong and Xun Zhen had a good relationship, they were Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Obviously, Xun Zhen would not tell Xun Zhen any such military secrets.

Xun Zhen didn't have much hope for this at first, and just asked with a "try it out" attitude. At this time, seeing that Xu Rong refused to answer the truth, she didn't care, and said to herself, "We parted yesterday, and it's been a night. I don't know if Zilong has figured out how many soldiers Dong Zhuo brought with him?"

Entering Xianyang Garden, Xu Rong led the way and led Xun Zhen to the outside of a palace.

Dong Zhuo was waiting here for Xun Zhen.

Dong Zhuo didn't ask Xun Zhen to wait for a long time. Soon after Xu Rong went in to report, he saw a man striding out of the palace hall, surrounded by many soldiers.

Xun Zhen looked intently, the person who came out was not Dong Zhuo!

Compared with six years ago, Dong Zhuo's physique has become much fatter. Although he is fat, his walking distance is not much different from that of six years ago. He is still agile and agile.

"Marquis Xun! Hahahaha, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you want to kill me!"

Dong Zhuo paused at the entrance of the palace hall, and when he saw Xun Zhen not far away, he immediately burst into laughter. Shiling the guards on the left and right stopped, raised their heads with swords, and greeted Xun Zhen loudly. While striding over, he walked over.

Xun Zhen handed the reins of the mount to Dian Wei, adjusted his clothes, and greeted him calmly. He smiled and said, "Julu said goodbye, I haven't seen the general for six years, and Zhen Yi misses the general quite a bit."

Dong Zhuo walked up to Xun Zhen, fixed his body, stroked his raised belly with one hand, and pressed the sword on his waist with the other, looked at Xun Zhen up and down, and said with a smile, "Even though I haven't seen each other for six years, the lord and lord are as handsome as ever. ...I'm getting old!"

"The general is in his prime, so where does the word 'old' come from?"

"The affairs of the state are difficult, and the court is not upright. Every time I think about it, I always feel worried and angry. On the one hand, the sun and the moon are rushing, and on the other hand, I worry about the night.

Xun Zhen thought: "Compared with six years ago, Dong Zhuo's aura seems to be much greater. . . . 'Every time I think about this, I always feel worried and angry. Or both?"

He was about to answer when he saw Dong Zhuo glanced at Dian Wei who was waiting beside him, then Dong Zhuo withdrew his eyes and said again with a smile, "Jun Hou, this strong man beside you, if I remember correctly, should Is his name Dian Wei?"

"The general has a good memory, it's Dian Wei."

"Junhou, when you came to Luo this time, I heard that you brought thousands of soldiers and are now stationed in the east of the city, right?"

Dong Zhuo and Xun Zhen said a total of five sentences, but they changed the subject several times. First, they said that they missed Xun Zhen, then they turned to state affairs, and then they turned to Dian Wei without waiting for Xun Zhen to answer. The reason for this question is obviously to disrupt Xun Zhen's thoughts by quickly changing the subject, and then take advantage of Xun Zhen's unpreparedness to give Xun Zhen a disgrace first.

Xun Zhen was already prepared, but Yan Ran replied, "Exactly."

"The prince brought his troops into the capital, I wonder if there is an edict or no edict?"

Dong Zhuo asked the question twice, and he said the same word both times: "Family soldier", and with the "questions" of "you have an edict" and "no edict" that directly hit the Chinese army, it was obvious that Dong Zhuo was not only trying to give Xun Zhen dismounted, and wanted to use "legality" to suppress Xun Zhen.

"I came to Luo this time, originally on the order of the general. Later, when I heard that the general was killed and the emperor was living outside the palace, I urged the troops to advance quickly and cross the river to enter the capital. Although I came to the capital, although I did not have an edict, I was the King of Diligence. ...the general asked me what I meant by that?"

Dong Zhuo's question asked Xun Zhen whether there was "an edict" or "no edict". Xun Zhen had two ways of answering it.

One is to directly push Dong Zhuo back, and he can ask Dong Zhuo whether he has an edict or no edict to bring troops into the capital, and the other is the way he answered just now. The name.

Of the two ways of answering, the former is happy, but it is easy to fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

First of all, if he answered like this, Xun Zhen confuses himself with Dong Zhuo: both of them brought troops into Beijing without an edict, not to mention the second brother. As a result, Xun Zhen suddenly lost his "moral" commanding heights.

Secondly, if someone asks why Dong Zhuo brought troops into Beijing without an edict, then Dong Zhuo can use Xun Zhen as a shield: You said I shouldn't have brought troops into Beijing without an edict, what about Xun Zhen? Isn't that the case with him?

Therefore, Xun Zhen did not answer him in the first way, but in the second way.

Answering Dong Zhuo in the second way would be more beneficial.

If the focus of the first answer is on "legality", UU Reading www.uukanshu. com Then the focus of the second answer is on "purpose".

Although Xun Zhen brought troops into the capital this time without an edict, he came for "King Qin", and he had the commanding heights in "moral and righteousness" in his hands. At the same time, he also used the answer of "the needle is hidden in the cotton" to implicitly distance himself from Dong Zhuo. boundaries.

Dong Zhuo stared at Xun Zhen for a while. Seeing that Xun Zhen's face didn't change, and he was calm, he showed his face again, raised his face again, laughed, laughed a few times, stopped the laughter, dropped his gaze, and replayed it to On Xun Zhen's face, he held Xun Zhen's hand affectionately, and said with emotion, "I'm the same as the prince! To be honest with the prince, I entered the capital this time without an edict, and it was also for the king of Qin!"

Xun Zhen calmly pulled back his hand and said, "Since the general is like me, he is here for King Qin, but Zhen has something to do, but he is quite puzzled."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that inside and outside the North and South Palaces, and now there are all the generals' trilogy, is this possible?"

Xun Zhen and Dong Zhuo had just met, and the two had already fought each other for two rounds.

In the first round, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the "landlord" to gain the upper hand, but in the second round, Xun Zhen seized Dong Zhuo's answer and began to counterattack.

Dong Zhuo knew why Dong Zhuo invited Xun Zhen to see him, and Xun Zhen also knew, so the "atmosphere" that the two of them met outside the Xianyang Garden Palace seemed to be harmonious, but in fact they were hiding murderous intentions. Both of them are battle-hardened and skilled in the art of warfare.
