"The eunuch suddenly launched an attack. How could His Majesty have time to write an imperial edict? All we got was His Majesty's oral instructions. What? Is Mr. Dong doubting my Highness, or His Majesty the Young Emperor?" Qin Yang was slightly startled.
Xi Zhicai's voice came loudly.
Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed, and when he saw that the person speaking was Xi Zhicai, he was not upset. He chuckled and said, "Who is this?"
When Qin Yang saw Xi Zhicai coming to rescue him, he smiled and said: "He is Xi Zhicai, a military advisor of our Hanzhong Army, and his official title is the Han Empire..."
"Xi Zhicai is just a retainer of His Highness the Yellow Turban King Ming. He has no official title. Please forgive me for any offence." Xi Zhicai took over Qin Yang's words and said. This also made it clear to Dong Zhuo that he, Xi Zhicai, was only loyal to Qin Yang.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit someone, he would have given up on him as soon as possible. Moreover, retainers were no better than imperial officials, and their status could be higher or lower. If Dong Zhuo wanted to suppress Xi Zhicai as an imperial official, Xi Zhicai would be easy to argue with.
Although Dong Zhuo was a military commander, he could still hear the implication of Xi Zhicai. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Qin is a minister of the empire, so naturally Mr. Xi is loyal to the Han Empire."
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said: "Lord Dong is right, as long as my Highness is loyal to the empire, Xi Zhicai will naturally follow my Highness's lead."
Qin Yang opened his mouth at the right time, interrupting the riddle-like conversation between the two, and said: "Master Dong, your Majesty indeed personally stated that the eunuchs should be killed. I wonder if Master Dong can trust Qin?"
Dong Zhuo was startled, rolled his eyes and said: "Where did Master Qin come from? Of course I believe what you said, but after all, Zhang Rang was once an important minister of the empire. I think it is better for you and me to escort him to the imperial capital together."
, it’s better to leave it to His Majesty himself.”
Xi Zhicai snorted coldly and said: "Why, does Mr. Dong also want to take the credit for quelling the chaos?"
"Shut up! Mr. Dong, is he that kind of villain who shamelessly strives for merit? Why don't you get out of here quickly! Mr. Dong, Qin Yang has offended many people due to his incompetent rule. Please forgive me. Please forgive me." Qin Yang pretended to be angry.
After drinking the show, Zhicai said with a smile to Dong Zhuo. In the Han Dynasty, nobility valued reputation the most, so Qin Yang gave Dong Zhuo the title of "a villain who strives for merit". It was up to Dong Zhuo whether he would accept it or not.
Sure enough, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ponder when Qin Yang and Xi Zhicai made a "double act". In the past, even if Qin Yang didn't kill him, he would have to get rid of him quickly, let alone for Zhang.
Rang offended Qin Yang, who still didn't know the truth. But now Dong Zhuo's mind was constantly reverberating with what Zhang Rang had just said.
"Is there really such a thing as King Qi in the world?" Dong Zhuo thought secretly. He had already heard about this matter. After all, during the first war in the capital, he also heard that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty broke the seal of King Qi.
Chaos. If he could really obtain the "kingly aura of inheriting the mandate of heaven to rule the world", it would undoubtedly be an extremely fatal temptation for Dong Zhuo.
"Good news! Report to the general, the troops of the two generals, Han and Ma, are advancing straight forward, already..."
"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Dong Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand to stop the messenger from reporting, and then glanced at Qin Yang and Xi Zhicai.
After seeing that there was nothing strange about the expressions of the two of them, he grinned and said with a little more confidence: "I, Dong Zhuo, have been honored by the empire and your majesty to lead Xiliang to sweep away the unconquered officials. As for this small contribution, I really have no merit."
Take it seriously. However, since I, as a Han official, have to devote myself to the Han Empire, how can I easily dispose of the important officials of the empire based on Master Qin's words? I think this matter should be left to Your Majesty.
Make a decision! Come here, the whole army marches out and enters the imperial capital!"
"You..." Qin Yang frowned and was about to speak. However, he was pulled back by Xi Zhicai, who was approaching behind him. Xi Zhicai said softly: "Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back to the imperial capital first and then make plans."
Qin Yang's heart was moved. Although he had just heard the report from the messenger and already knew that the war situation on the Hanzhong side seemed to be somewhat unfavorable. However, out of his confidence in Guo Jia and his soldiers, Qin Yang was not worried, nor did he show any concern on the surface.
However, it seems that Dong Zhuo's attitude suddenly changed because of this news.
Qin Yang immediately understood the key point after thinking for a while. The reason why Dong Zhuo didn't want to touch Qin Yang just yet was because he already knew from Zhang Rang's mouth that the imperial capital was now under Qin Yang's control. He couldn't take Qin Yang with one blow.
Under the premise of this, Dong Zhuo was a little wary of the Yellow Turban Army's combat power, and wanted to take advantage of the situation and directly lead troops into the imperial capital to control the situation. The reason why Dong Zhuo's attitude changed was, firstly, the words of Qin Yang and Xi Zhicai, and secondly,
On the Hanzhong side, Han Sui and Ma Teng were progressing smoothly. As a result, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but despise the combat power of Qin Yang and the Yellow Turban Army. Although Dong Zhuo was still a little cautious at this time, his condescending attitude was not consciously revealed.
.
After Xi Zhicai's reminder, Qin Yang suddenly realized that this was definitely not the time to break up with Dong Zhuo. Moreover, in the conversation just now, Qin Yang was almost certain that Zhang Rangding had revealed the matter of Wang Qi to
Dong Zhuo. Now that his side is weak, it is absolutely impossible to grab him head-on. The only solution for now is to take a step back and wait for the opportunity.
"What? Master Qin, do you still want to stop my fifty thousand Xiliang cavalry?" Seeing Qin Yang's silence, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but straighten his back and said proudly. As soon as he said this, Li Jue, who was not far behind Dong Zhuo, was about to hold a spear in his hand.
With one move, the entire Xiliang army suddenly burst into the sound of swords and guns, and then the shouts of "Xiliang! Xiliang! Xiliang!" rang out again and rolled out.
After Qin Yang came to his senses, he said: "Master Dong is loyal and patriotic. Qin Yang naturally understands that the chaos in the imperial capital has just subsided. If another large army enters the imperial capital at this moment, it will be suspected of alarming the emperor. If Master Dong insists on letting Zhang Rang
Waiting for the others to be handed over to His Majesty, how about Mr. Dong and I go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit?"
"Hmph! Mr. Qin is so scheming. At this time, the imperial capital is under the control of Mr. Qin's Hanzhong Army. Do you think that my lord will be in danger if he enters alone?" Li Ru said with a cold snort.
"Hahaha! Is Mr. Li doubting the loyalty of His Highness? Or is he doubting His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Empire?! How can we say that Mr. Dong is committing danger by entering the imperial capital? As a minister of the empire, entering the capital
If Mian Sheng is in danger, could it be said that Mr. Dong has any disobedience?" Xi Zhicai laughed and responded tit for tat.
"You..." Li Ru was speechless for a moment, his face uncertain.
Dong Zhuo laughed and said rather arrogantly: "Master Qin, this actor under you is really a eloquent man! How come you are describing me, Dong Zhuo, as a sycophant who is planning to do evil things?"
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted coldly: "The imperial capital is in chaos, Lord Qin and Zhang Rang have different opinions. Although Lord Qin won this battle, the right and wrong may not be decided by the winner!
I, Dong Zhuo, am coming to Beijing this time. Firstly, I am returning to the imperial court with my troops, and secondly, I am here to serve King Qingjun! If Master Qin thinks that just talking can make Dong Zhuo retreat, then I am afraid that he has made a mistake! This time I must meet His Majesty in person.
, if anyone has disobedience to our Han Empire, even if I, Dong Zhuo, can tolerate it, the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops under my command will never tolerate it!"
At this time, Dong Zhuo's purpose has become clear. He came back this time to seize the highest power center of the empire and rule the Han Empire, which is now in name only, with an iron fist with the tyrannical Xiliang cavalry. The last fig leaf has been torn away.
If Qin Yang still wants to stop him, then Qin Yang will become the second stumbling block to be eliminated by Dong Zhuo after Huangfu Song!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Qin Yang's 1,000 yellow scarf troops were standing ready, holding their weapons tightly and staring at their commander. As long as Qin Yang nodded, they would rush into the position of 50,000 Xiliang cavalry without hesitation, risking their own lives.
To defend the dignity of the Yellow Turban King Ming. And the 50,000 Xiliang cavalry behind Dong Zhuo were also ready to charge, always ready to crush the enemy in front of them.
Qin Yang slowly raised his head, looked directly at Dong Zhuo, who was filled with murderous intent, and said calmly: "Since Mr. Dong said so, Qin Yang can only be respectful and obey the order. Qin will go back to report to His Majesty, clean the streets, and prepare
Welcome Master Dong's army." After saying that, Qin Yang turned his horse back and was about to drive away.
"Slow down!" Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and said calmly.
"What? Does Mr. Dong still want to capture Qin Yang?" Qin Yang stopped his horse and did not look back. However, his hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Since Dong Zhuo spoke so openly,
Qin Yang would not be surprised at all if he suddenly attacked.
"Lord Qin has misunderstood. I just want to remind Lord Qin that what Dong said just now about King Qin Qingjun's side is not just a casual talk. If Lord Qin thinks that just tens of thousands of people can resist our Xiliang army, then that is
What a big joke. If Lord Qin knows the current affairs, I, Dong Zhuo, will not treat my friends badly. Your Lord will still be the Hanzhong Mu and become a prince of his own. If not, I don’t mind my Xiliang warriors practicing in the imperial capital! In addition,
I'm afraid Master Qin still doesn't know? Now that Xiliang's bandits Han Sui and Ma Teng have invaded Hanzhong, Hanzhong is in danger."
"Qin Yang has remembered Master Dong's words and will definitely not disappoint you! Xi Zhicai, Master Cao, let's go back!" Qin Yang turned his back to Dong Zhuo, narrowed his eyes, and rode away.
