Chapter 165: Refuse the cruel Cao Cao and raise his troops
The woman packed her things and was not unusually slow. Liu Zhang ordered his soldiers to camp on the spot and surrounded Dong's mansion. No one could escape. Early the next morning, a scout suddenly came to report that Dong Zhuo's troops were approaching the city and asked the champion to go out and answer the question.
.Liu Zhang ordered people to put the young men of Dong Zhuo's family into carriages, lead the troops to the outside of the city, and set up a formation, leaving only 500 people to guard Dong Zhuo's family.
The person who came was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu. He received a report that he was about to be captured, so he came with his troops overnight. When he came to the city, Niu Fu saw Liu Zhang's banner and was stunned. Dong Zhuo often praised Liu Zhang in front of everyone under his command.
As a young hero, coupled with Zhang Fei's defeat of Hua Xiong, everyone under Dong Zhuo regarded Liu Zhang as a formidable enemy.
"Champion Hou, the last general is polite!" The two armies faced each other. Niu Fu rode his horse forward and saluted Liu Zhang on the horse.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Zhong Ying's son-in-law is so polite! I invite Mrs. Dong to visit Yizhou as a guest, so don't stop her!"
"Champion Marquis, I forgive you for not being able to obey your orders!" Niu Fu said, sweating profusely: "If you take away all the family members of Prime Minister Dong, how can I explain to Prime Minister Dong? What's more, the wife of the general is among them.
!”
"It's your business how to explain it!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Dong Zhuo to be more respectful to Queen Mother He and others, otherwise I don't mind having a few more military prostitutes in the military camp! Do you know that there are some military prostitutes under my command?
Twenty thousand Huns cavalry! You must know the attitude of the Huns towards women!"
"What?!" Niu Fu said in shock: "In that case, please forgive me for being rude!"
"Then try it!" Liu Zhang sneered: "If you die, don't blame me!"
Niu Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Please give me some advice from the champion!"
After saying that, Niu Fu turned back to the battle. He would not fight with Liu Zhang. Back then, Zhang Fei had whipped Hua Xiong off his horse with a spear in front of him. Now that he saw the eight-foot-long snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand, he
If you dare to fight a general, there will be trouble. What's more, Niu Fu is very smart. He leads an army of 50,000, why bother to fight Liu Zhang? However, even if he doesn't fight a general, Liu Zhang is not something Niu Fu can deal with.
"Punch through!" Zhang Fei raised his snake spear, and 20,000 well-trained Huns soldiers immediately formed a cone formation and rushed towards Niu Fujun.
"What?" Niu Fu was shocked. The Huns were famous for being unruly. How could they actually form a formation? However, this is not to blame Niu Fu. Although the Han Dynasty had often defeated the Huns for four hundred years, they rarely defeated them.
Capture the Xiongnu Great Chanyu. Even if you capture the prince, the Great Chanyu will not be of any use. Coupled with Liu Zhang's policy of killing anyone who refuses to obey, the 20,000 Huns are not as well-behaved as Sun Tzu?
"Follow me!" He saw Zhang Fei leading his troops through Niu Fu's army and then back. Liu Zhang raised his Overlord Spear and led Dian Wei to kill Niu Fu.
"Hurry... retreat!" Seeing that the 50,000-strong army could not stop Liu Zhang from charging in two rounds, Niu Fu turned around and ran away. At that speed, even Liu Bei and Liu Bang, who are known as the kings of escape, could not match him.
"Alas!" Seeing Niu Fu's defeat, Mrs. Dong sighed. I don't know whether she lamented that Liu Zhang was too powerful, or that Niu Fu was too incompetent. But next to Mrs. Dong, two ladies holding children looked at Dian Wei,
Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei had little stars in their eyes. Xiliang people value bravery, and Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were so brave!
A few days later, Luoyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Pa!" Dong Zhuo had been prime minister for several months, but his skills were not long-lasting and his temper was not bad. After reading Liu Zhang's letter, he slapped the letter on the table and said: "Liu Jiyu has gone too far! The truth is that today the Empress Dowager He will be killed."
Concubine Tang and Princess Wannian have already done this, let’s see what he can do!”
"Father-in-law, no!" Li Ru frowned and said, "Liu Zhang would not anger his father-in-law for no reason. There must be something fishy in it!"
"Naughty? Doesn't Liu Jiyu just look down on me?" Dong Zhuo said angrily: "He is from the royal family, and I am just a good son of six counties. His official position was higher than mine in the past. Although I am the prime minister now, in his eyes, I am still
That Dong Zhuo, I still want to listen to what he says!"
"Uh..." Li Ru was a little surprised. He didn't expect Dong Zhuo to have such low self-esteem. But if Dong Zhuo really touched He Lingsi and others, I'm afraid Liu Zhang would send troops to Beijing. For the sake of a few women, he would offend a powerful enemy like Liu Zhang.
, it is indeed not cost-effective.
"Report!" Just as Li Ru was about to persuade him again, a small school rushed into the meeting hall and said: "Prime Minister, General Niu Fu is here!"
"Who?" Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other, inexplicably surprised. You must know that Niu Fu is the general Dong Zhuo left to guard Liangzhou. Has Liangzhou been lost? Dong Zhuo shouted: "Let him in quickly!"
"Father-in-law! My son-in-law is useless!" Niu Fu rushed into the meeting hall and knelt on the ground crying.
"Liangzhou is lost?" Dong Zhuo looked angry and wanted to kill Niu Fu.
"No!" Niu Fu was scolded by Dong Zhuo and immediately did not dare to cry. He only spat out two words.
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Liangzhou was not lost. Li Ru asked very puzzledly: "Liangzhou was not lost, what are you doing here?"
"This... I... I'm useless... ah!" Niu Fu started to cry loudly again. He didn't look like a military commander at all. Dong Zhuo slapped his forehead. I really don't know how he thought of marrying his daughter to such a person back then.
A thing.
"What's going on?" Dong Zhuo was a little impatient and kicked Niu Fu in the face. It was annoying enough for a woman to cry. A big man hugged another big man's leg and cried bitterly. Not to mention Li Ru, even
Dong Zhuo couldn't bear it either. A huge footprint suddenly appeared on Niu Fu's face. A visual inspection revealed that it was at least forty-four yards. However, Niu Fu did not dare to cry anymore.
"Father-in-law, a few days ago, the champion Liu Zhang led his troops to attack Linzhao. The old lady and all the young masters and ladies..." Niu Fuzhan reported tremblingly. When Dong Zhuo heard this, there was a bang in his head and he fell backwards.
go.
"Father-in-law!" Li Ru and Niu Fu quickly supported Dong Zhuo.
"You mean, my whole family was captured by Liu Zhang?" Dong Zhuo calmed down the depression in his chest and asked, "What did the champion say?"
"He said..." Niu Fu was very hesitant, not knowing whether to repeat Liu Zhang's words.
"Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing left to say!" Li Ru was very helpless when he saw this. He was also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and this Niu Fu was too bad.
Niu Fu gritted his teeth and said: "The champion has said it! I want my father-in-law to be more respectful to the Queen Mother He and others. If my father-in-law does anything to the Queen Mother He and others, he will retaliate tenfold for all the things my father-in-law did to my father-in-law's family."
On him! He doesn’t mind having more in the army..."
Seeing Dong Zhuo's ferocious expression, Niu Fu did not say those two words, but Dong Zhuo and Li Ru already understood. Dong Zhuo waved his hands feebly, and Li Ru asked: "Father-in-law, what about the Queen Mother..."
"Forget it!" Dong Zhuo said feebly: "The Champion already knew that we would not let him go, so while he was writing the letter, he led his troops to kidnap the man. He is a man who always does what he says. What if I dare to do anything?
The Queen Mother and others will definitely make me regret it! Ru'er, pass on the order, no one is allowed to be even remotely rude to the four Queen Mothers, otherwise the clan will be destroyed!"
"Yes!" Li Ru bowed and retreated.
"Go away!" Dong Zhuo sighed, opened his eyes and saw Niu Fu still standing there, he said angrily: "You loser, go back to Liangzhou! If anything goes wrong again, don't come to see me again.
!Just cut off the head!"
"Yes!" Niu Fu, as if he had received amnesty, jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his head in his arms and headed to Liangzhou overnight.
Looking at Niu Fu's hurriedly running back, Dong Zhuo shook his head and said: "The champion Hou is still more skilled, I am not as good as him!"
Yizhou, Chengdu Prefecture. Liu Zhang captured all of Dong Zhuo's family members. After careful calculation, Liu Zhang had a headache! There were thirty or forty female family members in Dong's mansion, while there were only two males, less than ten.
Years old, one is the son of Li Ru and the other is the son of Dong Zhuo.
Looking at the whole family, Liu Zhang found a big house to house these women in order to avoid trouble. Fortunately, these ladies from wealthy families rarely go out. Now that Liu Zhang is under house arrest, he doesn't feel depressed. It's just Dong Zhuo's.
The two daughters, especially Niu Fu's wife, always pestered Dian Wei.
After taking Dong Zhuo's family captive, Liu Zhang did not take any action. Guo Jia was very puzzled by Liu Zhang's behavior. If it had been anyone else, he would have asked for a replacement, but Liu Zhang had no intention of negotiating with Dong Zhuo. Could it be that Liu Zhang did not
Didn't they kidnap Dong Zhuo's family to exchange for talents? In fact, Liu Zhang was waiting for Cao Cao to issue a false edict to attack Dong. Otherwise, if he led troops to surround Luoyang alone, others would have an excuse to slander him. As for not leading troops, Liu Zhang thought
I never thought that he is not stupid!
Ever since Liu Zhang captured all of Dong Zhuo's family, Dong Zhuo's attitude towards the Queen Mother He and others has undergone a 180-degree turn. Although Dong Zhuo still thought about the Queen Mother He, Liu Zhang was like a sharp knife hanging on his head.
You know, Dong Zhuo is almost sixty years old. Even if he can still give birth to a son, he has no time to teach him. And the son Dong Zhuo spent more than ten years of hard work is holding in Liu Zhang's hands.
In a bad mood and with unquenchable lust, some unscrupulous ministers, such as Wu Fu and Cao Cao, actually assassinated Dong Zhuo. This series of actions made Dong Zhuo even more cruel, and almost even Wang Meiren was tortured to death.
However, it was precisely because of Dong Zhuo's cruelty that the officials were even more dissatisfied.
The assassination attempt on Dong Zhuo failed, and Cao Cao fled back to Qiao County. His father Cao Song dispersed all his family wealth, and with the help of his friend Wei Zi, Cao Cao recruited talents and gathered local warriors. The reputation of Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo also gathered many heroes for him.
So, Cao Cao first issued a corrective edict and reported to various factions. Then he recruited volunteers, put up a white recruiting flag, and wrote the word "loyalty and righteousness". Over the course of several days, the people who applied for the recruitment gathered like rain.
In order to support Cao Cao, the Cao family and the Xiahou family came to help. Brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came with four thousand elite troops to help. Brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong also came with a thousand troops. There was also a Yangping Weiguo man whose surname was Le and whose given name was Jin.
Wen Qian. A man from Julu, Shanyang, with a surname of Li, a given name of Dian, and a courtesy name of Mancheng, came to seek refuge with Cao Cao. For a time, Cao Cao became famous among the Han Dynasty!
