Liu Bei was not worried that this old boy would cause trouble.
He kept Dong Zhuo because he indeed had some needs.
So he lowered his voice and treated Dong Zhuo like a confidant.
"Zhongying, let me tell you straight, what you are doing now is putting me on the fire! You came to Luoyang to be Dahonglu because I recommended you, and you are the person I recommended. If you have committed a crime, I will
I’m responsible for you! Now that your subordinates have violated the law, do you think it’s a small matter? Please handle it immediately, otherwise, I won’t spare you!”
Dong Zhuo looked miserable, smiled secretly in his heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter had finally been resolved.
"General, this is not what the general wants to see. It is really a moment of negligence, there are many things, and if you don't control those people, there will be no next time, there will never be a next time!"
"Don't try to avoid the important things like me!"
Liu Bei said angrily: "This is not something that will happen next time. Did you know that in just a short time, this matter has been spread inside and outside Luoyang City! Do you know that you became Jiuqing all because of my promotion, and I am not satisfied with you?"
There are many, many people, and if this thing causes too much trouble, I can’t protect you! You might as well just stop doing it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Dong Zhuo's expression immediately changed.
"No...General, it's just such a small thing, it's not...it's not, right?"
"No? Okay, I won't care about this matter. You see if you can handle this big thing."
Liu Bei sneered and said: "As long as I spread the word to the outside world that I don't care about this matter, look at what the Chancellor said, look at what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said, and look at whether they will let you enter Luoyang.
City gate!"
Dong Zhuo was really panicked now.
Just now I was thinking that no matter what, I couldn't take political risks or lose people's hearts. I wanted Liu Bei to be a bad guy and myself to be a good guy, so as to protect my own interests to the maximum extent and preserve the possibility of further promotion.
But when Liu Bei said this, he suddenly felt that he was in danger.
How could such a small thing make me unable to even do it?
Is it that serious?
Isn't it just that you robbed a few people and beat a few others?
Does this matter?
Dong Zhuo had never been an official in Luoyang at all. He did not understand the current political ecology of Luoyang at all, and took things that were commonplace before for granted.
There are a lot of people who are dissatisfied with him, and there are almost no people who are friendly to him. There is only one Liu Bei who wants to help him because of his past relationship, but if he commits suicide, there is nothing he can do.
Also, the army under his command was full of unruly and barbaric habits, which made Liu Bei extremely dissatisfied and increasingly intolerable to the continued existence of this army.
Dong Zhuo hesitated for a while and looked at Liu Bei.
"General, is this really that serious?"
"Then shall I go?"
Liu Bei was ready to leave.
"Don't! Don't! General, don't leave, you... I will settle the matter right now!"
Dong Zhuo panicked and immediately grabbed Liu Bei's sleeve, then quickly let go and walked to Niu Fu. He glared at Niu Fu and winked, and Niu Fu understood.
So Dong Zhuo said sternly: "This is all a misunderstanding. General Niu Zhonglang, get out of the way!"
Niu Fu pretended to be helpless, stamped his feet and got out of the way.
Dong Zhuo put on a fake smile again.
"Man Lingjun, what happened before was all a misunderstanding. Please don't mind me. Please, please."
Man Chong glanced at Dong Zhuo and then at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei nodded at him.
So Man Chong said nothing and followed Dong Zhuo into the military camp, followed by Liu Bei.
The people who robbed Hu cakes and beat up the county soldiers were the subordinates of Zhonglang General Li Jue. Li Jue looked at Man Chong with a dark face as he tied up his subordinates and put them on torture instruments in front of him, and then generously
Fang was taken away because of Dong Zhuo's order, which forced him to hold his restless subordinates to prevent them from causing trouble.
This was the first time in so many years that he had experienced such a frustrating thing.
Ever since they followed Dong Zhuo, their brothers had always drank a lot, ate meat, and divided their money. Apart from risking their lives in battles, they had experienced all kinds of good things.
They had eaten delicious food, drank fine wine, played with beauties, and experienced everything. Dong Zhuo was very generous. As long as they risked their lives to fight, he would give them everything and he would not be stingy at all.
So the brothers have been living very happily over the years.
until today.
What the fuck is wrong with grabbing a few biscuits and beating a few people?
Even the dead are not dead, what kind of nonsense is that?
Is it a problem to call an immortal person?
If there was only one Man Chong, he would not be afraid. Even if Man Chong used force with him, he would not be afraid at all. He even dared to pull out his knife and chop at the old man to see whose knife was sharper.
But Liu Bei, who was standing next to Man Chong with a serious face, had to restrain himself.
This is a figure who is like a god of death. With the name of a person and the shadow of a tree, Dong Zhuo has to pretend to be a grandson in front of Liu Bei, let alone him?
He is reckless and bad, but not stupid.
Therefore, he could only watch Man Chong take away his people, which made him feel like his dignity was being stepped on by Man Chong and crushed severely, and he felt like he was completely social in front of everyone.
The feeling of death.
How can he survive in this army in the future?
I can’t survive anymore!
Li Jue's heart was filled with resentment and shame.
Dong Zhuo had no such idea at all. His mind was all about Da Honglu's official position and how to protect his own interests.
He needs Liu Bei, he cannot do without Liu Bei, and without Liu Bei, he will lose everything.
"General, this great Honglu..."
After watching Man Chong leave, Dong Zhuo walked up to Liu Bei and looked at him with longing.
Liu Bei suppressed his disgust towards him and looked at Dong Zhuo with a livid face.
"Take care of these people under your command! A good situation will cause problems! You think I am very idle and have nothing to do, right? Do you know how much energy I have to spend to calm down this matter? For you
Do you know how difficult it is to fight for a big Honglu?!"
Liu Bei scolded Dong Zhuo, who was old enough to be his father, as if he were scolding his grandson. Dong Zhuo still lowered his head, unable to raise it, and did not dare to refute a word.
Dong Zhuo's subordinates gathered around and were dumbfounded.
Finally, when Niu Fu felt that he couldn't bear it any longer and wanted to speak to save Dong Zhuo's last bit of face, Liu Bei stopped scolding him, waved his hand and left Dong Zhuo's military camp.
"Starting today, all your troops are not allowed to leave the military camp without my order!"
Liu Bei did not give Dong Zhuo an accurate answer until he left the military camp. Dong Zhuo still didn't know whether Liu Bei could keep his position as Dahonglu, but he had no one to rely on except Liu Bei.
Therefore, even if Liu Bei reprimanded him in front of everyone, he had to be patient. He knew that if he didn't be patient, everything he had done before would be in vain.
Moreover, he did not have the capital to be impatient in front of Liu Bei.
He can't beat Liu Bei.
These more than 5,000 people are indeed powerful. Dong Zhuo is confident that he can achieve certain results against Liu Bei's army of the same size and protect himself, but the problem is.
There are more than 100,000 Liu Bei's troops around Luoyang City. These 5,000 of them are dedicated to protecting his life. They may be able to break out of Luoyang City with all their strength, but it is simply too much to think about confronting Liu Bei here.
And in the final analysis, with great prospects and interests in front of us, why would we consider such dangerous things until we finally despair?
Why should he fall out with Liu Bei when he can be a high-ranking official of the Nine Qing Dynasty?
