I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

At this moment, Zhang Liao's expression changed a couple of times. After examining the gold seal carefully, he knelt down and saluted, "Fake Sima Zhang Liao pays homage to the Taiwei! There was a collision just now, so please punish the Taiwei."

The hearts of the soldiers suddenly rose, and they all looked at Dong Zhuo: I don't know how this vicious devil will deal with his own Sima.

Dong Zhuo's face darkened instantly, and he shouted to Zhang Liao in a deep voice, "What are you talking about!"

As if he had expected it, Zhang Liao lowered his head in disappointment.

Hearing this, the other soldiers couldn't help clenching their weapons.But then he looked at those well-equipped elite knights who surrounded him, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but cool down.

"Trespassing in an important military camp is a death penalty. Why is Zhang Sima guilty?" Hearing Zhang Liao's self-introduction of his family, Dong Zhuo's heart was already blossoming.

He didn't intend to punish him at all, but he didn't expect that he came to the camp of this future famous general by mistake, so why don't he hurry up and win him over?

Hmph, I thought you were the only one who would win over soldiers, and I, who had been in management in my previous life, wouldn't I be so eager to promote before suppressing?

Sure enough, Zhang Liao raised his head in disbelief and said, "Taiwei..."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand again, and said: "Zhang Sima, don't need to say too much, I can see that you abide by military discipline. Shicai set an example and stabilized the morale of the army, and I am even more pleased. If all the generals in the battalion understand this old man like you do Your painstaking efforts, don't stop when things get into this field?"

Then, he sighed and explained: "Actually, the old man never said that he would send troops to plunder Luoyang. Before the Gai outside the Great Wall, because the Qiang and Hu were afraid of power and did not show grace, they had no choice but to use iron and blood to frighten them. He once ordered the soldiers to plunder their tribe."

"I never wanted to enter Luoyang, but I only said that I would reward the soldiers generously. As a result, it was passed around that the old man wanted to indulge the soldiers to plunder Luoyang. How can we not hurry up and stop it?"

"Taiwei..." Li Ru heard this and couldn't help but want to interrupt.

Old Dong seemed to know what fart he was about to fart, he waved his hand to interrupt and continued: "After all, this matter is still the old man's fault, how can you be punished instead?"

As he said that, he didn't think he was fat and greasy, so he took off his ocher robe and looked at the soldier holding the whip: "What are you waiting for, twenty lashes, no mercy!"

"Captain..."

"beat!"

The soldiers were about to cry, holding a whip like a hot iron: You officials, can you not embarrass me, a big soldier, please? ... I dare not even touch Sima, let alone Taiwei, okay!

"Taiwei!..." Seeing this, Zhang Liao and Li Ru hurried forward to stop him. Li Ru said angrily, "Taiwei is a man of gold, how can he be insulted!"

Zhang Liao was even more terrified, and said: "The Taiwei is in charge of power, life and death are the first among us. If this is the case because of a certain subordinate's matter, wouldn't it be a mess?"

The soldiers, especially the corps leader, never expected that because of their complaints, Sima and even the Taiwei would scramble to receive the punishment.

Feeling ashamed and at the same time, he couldn't help his blood boiling, he took a step forward and knelt down and said: "Taiwei, Sima, it's all our fault. I don't know the Taiwei's painstaking efforts, but still gossip behind my back. If you want to punish, you should punish us!"

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the laughter was full of heroism and joy: "What a man!... If you correct your mistakes, you will be a good man."

Then the voice changed, and he still insisted: "But after all, the old man didn't think carefully about this matter. What he said was just a reward, but in the end, you misunderstood that Luoyang was going to be looted."

"Then it was canceled urgently, which made the sons happy for nothing, and chilled your heart... If this matter is not settled, how will I, Dong, face the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command?"

As he spoke, he took the whip from the soldiers, handed it to Zhang Liao and said, "He doesn't have the guts, but I don't know Zhang Sima, does he have the guts to ask the old man to give an explanation to the soldiers?"

"Captain..."

"Even you don't dare?" Dong Zhuo said aggressively again.

Zhang Liao was originally arrogant and arrogant, and at the age of vigorous blood, his face turned serious when he heard the words, and said: "Taiwei, I have offended you!..."

With a flick of his wrist after speaking, the whip was like a long black dragon, making a shrill scream in the air, and then exploded on Dong Zhuo's back, a bloodstain instantly appeared in front of everyone.

The burning pain caused Dong Zhuo to groan.

"Zhang Wenyuan!" Seeing this, Li Ru's eyes were tearing apart, as if he had been whipped, desperately trying to take the whip from Zhang Liao's hand.

"Li Wenyou!" Dong Zhuo roared suddenly with angry eyes, and said, "How dare you disturb the old man's military discipline?...Stop it for the old man, let Wenyuan do what he wants!"

"Captain!..."

With this sound, not only did Li Ru beg bitterly, the eyes of those soldiers filled with tears, they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "It's our fault, I deserve death!"

"What's wrong with you?" Dong Zhuo still insisted on his own opinion, and said, "It's just a few complaints, and I haven't really turned against the old man. Compared with other military camps, it's still considered good."

At this point, he immediately looked at Li Ru who was at the side.

Li Ru couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his eyes slowly turned, and his face showed a pensive look.Immediately, he seemed to understand something, beckoned to two guards, and whispered something.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo showed satisfaction, gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Yuan!"

"Snapped!……"

The first whip has been drawn, and Zhang Liao has no scruples about the second and third whips.

The Xiliang iron cavalry also stopped running, silently watching Dong Zhuo being tortured.There were more than [-] people in the huge barracks, but they were all silent, only the crisp cracking of whips and the kowtow of a few soldiers echoed.

Soon, the twenty lashes were over, and Zhang Liao's palms were already sweating, and he bravely said: "Taiwei, the execution of the last general has been completed."

"Okay!..." Dong Zhuo, enduring the whip wound on his back, almost staggered when he got up, and stood up after supporting Zhang Liao and Li Ru.

"Today, the old man was punished, and you all heard the words clearly?...The old man never said that Luoyang was looted, nor did he say that he would reward you!"

Looking at the soldiers who were all kneeling on the ground, Dong Zhuo said, "You are all Han soldiers. They came from all over the world with the heart of serving the country, and they gave me face to serve the Han family. You should be rewarded!"

"If you trust me, I will give it to you for a few more days. By then, I will renege on my promise and become fat again. You can enter the Taiwei's mansion and take the old man's head!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly roared angrily: "Is it more reliable than the old man?"

"Believe it!" Thousands of soldiers agreed in unison, and the sound shook the world.

So far, a show that invites people's hearts has come to a perfect curtain call.

But when he was leaving, he saw those four big black pigs again, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Wen Yuan, where did you get these four black pigs, and what do you want?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao looked a little coy, and explained in a low voice, "This general begged for it from his fellow villager Lu Duwei's camp. He thought that after he was tortured, he would make another meat meal to dispel their grievances."

Interestingly, as soon as the words fell, the four black pigs raised their heads together, staring at their innocent eyes as if in shock: No, they didn't take us out for a walk, so they wanted to send us away?

"Oh?..." Dong Zhuo was taken aback by this answer, and said, "Your camp doesn't have enough food?"

"The subordinates are no more than fake Sima, commanding half a battalion of people, there is no such thing in terms of supply." Zhang Liao said, and couldn't help being grateful: "It's also thanks to Captain Lu's righteousness, and the love of colleagues and fellow villagers..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Zhuo immediately said loudly: "Pass down the order, Wenyuan will command the troops well, and from now on, this half battalion will provide a fat pig every month!"

For the small sample, he will give four heads, and I will have one head per month from now on.Today also raised your reputation, if you have a chance to be promoted again, I don’t believe you will follow Lu Bu!

Hearing this, Zhang Liao immediately thanked Xie En.

When the four black pigs heard this, they hummed and stood up again: Anyway, there will be other compatriots suffering every month in the future, so our hearts will be balanced...

Chapter 9 This fat man, turn his face and deny anyone!

"Captain..."

When they arrived at Taiwei's mansion, the impatient Li Ru didn't even have time to wait for Dong Zhuo to finish his medicine, and asked, "Do you really want to cancel the looting of Luoyang?"

"Hiss..." The imperial doctor who applied the medicine made a heavy hand, Dong Zhuo immediately took a breath, looked at Li Ru angrily, and said, "Is this whip for nothing, old man?"

Afterwards, he explained to the imperial doctor: "Be gentle!"

"Excuse me, Taiwei!" The imperial doctor immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed like garlic.

Dong Zhuo was so angry, but he could only hold his breath and squeeze out a smile, and said: "The old man just told you to be gentle, and didn't say what to do with you!"

Hearing this, the imperial doctor was not only not relieved, but even more terrified: "The Taiwei must be merciful, there is still an elderly orphan mother at home, waiting to feed young children..."

In an instant, Old Dong hardened, his fist hardened: What's the matter, you have to force me, right?

Li Ru couldn't stand it any longer, he reached out to take the medicine pot and said, "You step back first, and I'll do it for you." Then, while applying the medicine carefully, he frowned and said in thought, "In this way, the Taiwei These twenty lashes really have a different meaning."

"That's natural." Feeling that Li Ru's technique was okay, Dong Zhuo hummed and said, "Have you already told the guards to spread the news in the barracks?"

"The subordinate is doing business, Taiwei don't worry." After applying the ointment, he wanted to take a bandage to wrap Dong Zhuo carefully, and said: "The key point of the explanation, the first is to say that the Qing Taiwei never promised to send troops to loot Luoyang , and the second is that the reward is only a few days late, and it will not be canceled or short.”

"Good." Hearing this, the fat man felt that this high-quality dog ​​leg was reliable in his work. He glanced at the bandage again and said, "This bandage has been sterilized with alcohol...Forget it, let someone boil it in boiling water and let it dry." Use it later."

Afterwards, he narrowed his eyes and said: "After the news spreads, there should be a few more days... However, if we want to truly eliminate the resentment of the soldiers, make them return to their hearts and obey orders, and stabilize the foundation of the old man, we have to spend real money. OK."

Hearing this, Li Ru didn't bother to ask why the bandages were boiled in boiling water, but looked at Dong Zhuo strangely: "My lord also knows the key to this...but why do you have to cancel the Zongbing?" Looting Luoyang?"

Hearing this, one knew that Li Ru's general level of strategy was still a bit lacking, and he didn't bother to explain: "I'm self-willed, can't I?"

"..."

Li Ru's face froze for a moment, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart: You are already in your 50s, you are wayward!

Immediately, he remembered how he swore in the barracks before, and his brows twitched: "My lord, do you already have a countermeasure in mind?"

"Hmm..." Old Dong nodded sullenly.

Li Ru quickly put his ears into a listening posture, but then he was dumbfounded: After waiting for a long time, this fat man didn't say what the trick was.

I had no choice but to sneer, and asked tentatively, "My lord, what is the countermeasure?"

"I don't want to talk about it, I want to hear what you can do."

"Why?..." Li Ru also stiffened now, his hand holding the bandage stiffened, and he had the urge to strangle the fat man to death.

Old Dong was very confident, and said: "It's the first time I've made an idea, and I don't know if it's suitable. I want to hear more opinions from you advisers."

"us?"

"That's right." Old Dong nodded, then looked towards the door and said, "It's about time for that person to come, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the guards outside the door came in and reported: "Taiwei Jia Xu has brought here."

Dong Zhuo immediately got up and sat upright when he heard the words, and even put on a robe to cover his body, he commanded solemnly: "Please invite Mr. Jia into the hall soon."

"Jia Wenhe?" Li Ru was not a conceited person, and he never thought of monopolizing the name of Dong's think tank.But today's incident made him more and more unable to understand the fat black man in front of him.

Leaving aside the idea of ​​self-punishment three cups in the barracks, let's just talk about Jia Xu... This man was not well-known when he was young, only the famous Hanyang Yan Zhong said that he was "good and peaceful".

At the beginning, Cha Xiaolian was a man, but he resigned due to illness, and was later promoted to be a ban by Dong Zhuozheng.

Today, why did the Taiwei think of calling him over?And judging by the reaction, there was actually a lot of joy and respect for Liu Bang when he met Zhang Liang.

"Subordinate, Jia Xu, see you..." Jia Xu, who is about 40 years old and approaching on foot, lowered his eyes, looked calm, and spoke in a calm tone, and was about to salute Dong Zhuo.

Unexpectedly, before the body fell down, it would be impossible to go down again: "Taiwei?"

Staring in amazement at Dong Zhuo who was supporting her shirtless, Jia Xu could no longer maintain his calm expression—although Dong Zhuo had never belittled himself before, he had never been as eager as he is today.

"Oh, you don't have to be polite, Mr. Jia."

However, Old Dong looked at the smartest guy in the history of the Three Kingdoms in front of him, and couldn't help but beam with joy. He even patted the bed behind him and said excitedly, "Please take a seat."

In an instant, Jia Xu's face changed, becoming terrified.

At the same time, Li Ru's expression also changed, becoming surprised.

If the two of them can speak foreign languages, they will definitely complain in their hearts at the same time: Oh, my dear Taiwei, you are... what are you?

However, seeing the reaction of the two of them, Lao Dong was also very puzzled and wronged: Why did you drop it? This is, isn’t it just to invite you, Lao Jia, to go to the pit boss to chat and get closer.

Didn't the history books say that the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei often slept together?

"Ahem, Taiwei loves so much, I dare not take it."

Fortunately, Jia Xu has a strong mentality, and after embarrassingly resigned, he quickly changed the subject: "Uh... I don't know if the Taiwei called his subordinates here, but what's the matter?"

"This old man is looking for Mr. to come here..." Old Dong, who was about to tell the truth, suddenly rolled his eyes again: "Guess?"

"Subordinate!..." Jia Xu didn't keep a calm expression, even his hands hidden in his sleeves were a little stiff.

However, when he calmed down and looked at Dong Zhuo's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and the irrelevant people around him who had been dispersed long ago, Jia Xu suddenly understood: "The subordinates are less intelligent, and it is difficult to understand the deep meaning of the captain."

"You don't know?" Dong Zhuo still had a half-smile, but he sighed secretly in his heart: My boss is really unpopular... The cancellation of the looting of Luoyang is now well known in the government and the public, and the position of Taiwei is closer The nature of the assistant and secretary, this old fox actually said he didn't know?

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the old fox likes to tuck his tail by nature, and hides everything in a tight and safe manner.

So, he smiled even brighter, and asked in a more emphatic tone: "You really don't know?"

"My subordinates don't know..." Jia Xu lowered her eyebrows again and replied seriously.

"Good!" Old Dong still laughed, but after sitting back on Hu's bed, he suddenly changed his face and shouted: "Come here!..."

In an instant, guards with helmets and armor rushed in from outside the door, facing Dong Zhuo, who was sitting high on the bed, and bowed down: "Humble, I respectfully invite Taiwei Junzhi!"

"Drag out this guy who is a vegetarian and chop it up!... Send another two hundred elite horsemen to search his house. If even a chicken or dog is left behind, you will take the head of the king to apologize!"

"Here!" Hearing this decree, the guards were shocked and murderous!

The next moment, before Jia Xu could react, two guards grabbed his arm and dragged him away like a dog, and he subconsciously shouted with horror, "Tai, Taiwei, what's wrong with this subordinate? "

Li Ru on the side was also dumbfounded, probably guessed something, and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "Taiwei, Jia Wenhe may be clumsy, but the crime does not deserve death!"

"The crime doesn't lead to death?" Dong Zhuo turned his head slightly, his face was stern, and his tone was serious: "Wen You, have you ever thought about the consequences of a resourceful person who has two hearts and is still under your command? "

"Subordinate..." Li Ru subconsciously wanted to reply, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence!
