Chapter 459: Seeing Dong Zhuo's Clouds and Winds
Under Cai Wenji's eyes that seemed to be able to see through the hearts, Zhao Xing felt that his background was about to be exposed to the sun, just like the quails that were often seen on the marching road. Although he tried his best to hide his head into the water, the tail exposed on the water still completely betrayed him.
Because his tail is exposed outside and cannot hide himself, it is not just quails or Zhao Xing. When he saw Dong Zhuo's first face in the General's Mansion in Didao Town, Longxi, Zhao Xing found that the "old quail" had a strong desire to survive, which undoubtedly exposed his weakness and gave Zhao Xing more confidence in controlling Dong Zhuo.
On that day, Dong Zhuo led his army north to attack Ma Teng. When he was about to break the Guzang City Gate, he was robbed of the rear route by the cavalry brought back from Wuyuan by Ma Chao. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. He became a prisoner and was taken into Guzang City by Hu Cheer.
Zhao Xing, who received the news of the victory in Wuwei, ordered Hu Cheer to split up his troops and secretly escort Dong Zhuo and his subordinates back to Didao. For this reason, Ma Teng was still very dissatisfied at that time, but was frightened by Zhao Xing's power and did not dare to stop the matter. Ma Teng's intention was to kill his enemy Dong Zhuo and several generals under him at the ceremony of commemorating the dead soldiers to comfort the spirit of the dead in heaven.
For the sake of the overall situation in the future, Zhao Xing certainly could not let Ma Teng chop Dong Zhuo off. Although this incident caused a rift between Zhao Xing and Ma Teng, Zhao Xing still came to Longxi very strongly and personally met Dong Zhuo.
Looking at the guy in front of him who was over fifty years old, with a big beard, short and black face, Zhao Xing felt many ulterior motives.
"This is the great man in history who played the emperor in his palm, and if he wanted to be destroyed, he would be killed, and if he wanted to be killed, he would be killed. He saw that there were many women in the emperor and sleeping when he wanted to be asleep! This is the guy who was in a state of change and easily cut off the heads of the ministers in front of the crowd of the banquet! This is the bandit who ruined the Han world and disrupted Luoyang and Chang'an!"
But it is such a fierce man who was attacked by the 18th Route Alliance and cursed by the world. Because of Zhao Xing's strong rise, he has now fallen to the realm that it is impossible to be a free quail. I have to say that this fate is really fucking!
As the saying goes, the king does not see the king. Zhao Xing is undoubtedly the most ambitious force. When he met another ambitious man, the long-term unrest became an inevitable opening remark. In a study where Dong Zhuo used to meet with his generals, Zhao Xing sat behind the desk where Dong Zhuo was used to sit. When Dong Zhuo was sent in, he naturally stood in front of the desk waiting for Zhao Xing to ask questions.
Zhao Xing was observing Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo was also thinking about Zhao Xing in his heart. It was the young man behind the desk, occupying the position that only he could sit in. If possible, Dong Zhuo wanted to pick up the guy at this time and chop the guy a few feet away from the opposite side into meat paste. However, Dong Zhuo knew very well that this was simply a delusion, and even thinking like this was a very dangerous thing.
The young man opposite was bored and spinning his brush was not only good at his brain, but his skills were not inferior to Zhang Xiu, who had the strongest martial arts skills in his past. Even if Dong Zhuo had weapons in his hands at this moment, as long as he dared to take action, he would guarantee that the person who died first would be him.
Therefore, in a very short time, Dong Zhuo calmed down countless resentments in his heart and adjusted his expression to a state of dying and bleakness.
Playing with a high-quality wolf hair pen in his hand, Zhao Xing finally spoke: "General Dong, although you and I have not met each other, I guess you know which one we are, right?"
Dong Zhuo's face was as deep as water and replied calmly: "Only one person has sat on the chair in my study since its completion. Now, except for Zhao Guochang, who can replace me, I really can't think of a second person who can come..."
"Haha, General Dong answered cleverly. It is clear that I came to see you from Wohu City all the way, for what?" Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and asked Dong Zhuo again.
"I guess there is still something available below. Taifu Zhao still needs to use my name to do something." Dong Zhuo replied expressionlessly.
"It seems that Fatty Dong is not a fool, he still has a political vision." Zhao Xing sighed in his heart, and then said, "If you don't say secret words in front of the bright people, I won't go around in circles with you. I have a few things here that you need to do. If you do it well, I can guarantee that you and your family will have no worries."
When Dong Zhuo heard Zhao Xing's words, his face did not show too much surprise, and he still said calmly: "Please let the general tell me." Dong Zhuo understood that if Zhao Xing wanted to kill him, he could have his subordinates handed him over to Ma Teng. Since Zhao Xing did not hesitate to arrange a thousand cavalry to secretly escort him back to Didao, he naturally needed to let him do something, which means he still had some value that could be used.
The bottom line of the conversation has been revealed, so Zhao Xing stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "The den you asked for your business on Baishishan has been taken down by me. The fourth prince Liu Zhi has now fallen into my hands. Back then, you, Sima Fang and the three families of Yizhou, sent people to sneak into the Chang'an Palace, each with Liu Hong, and they must have thought that it is a rare item. You now have a letter to the court, expressing your determination to support Liu Zhi as the king in Xiliang. The tone can be scruples, and you clearly say that the court knows that if you do not agree to Liu Zhi's title of king, you will take the lead in rebellion!"
After hearing Zhao Xing's words, Dong Zhuo didn't say anything for a long time. He stared at Zhao Xing for a long time, showing an expression that was really like this.
"Now I have no soldiers or soldiers in my hands. The Grand Tutor ordered me to write this book. Wouldn't it make me an enemy of the world?" Dong Zhuo frowned with two brooms and said with some concern.
"Dong Zhongying, you need to know one thing. Since you were defeated by Guzang City, you will have no power to control your life and death in this life. Even if you are unwilling to be enemies of the world, what can you do? If you are enemies of me alone, the consequences will be even greater than those of the world! If you and your family do not have my protection in the future, how can you live in the world?" Zhao Xing reminded Dong Zhuo bluntly that the person who controls the life and death of Dong Zhuo and his family is the Taifu Zhao of Jin, not others!
Dong Zhuo closed his eyes in pain, and tears quietly rose from his old eyes. "Well, now I am slaughtering you for fish. In order not to let the Dong family die, I can only live under the wings of the Grand Tutor in the future. I will follow the Grand Tutor's wishes to the court for being the king."
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had agreed, Zhao Xing was not interested in stretching his feet on the old man's face. He got up and left the study. Before walking to the door, Zhao Xing turned his back to Dong Zhuo and said lightly: "I heard that the scenery on Baishi Mountain is good, so you can live there in the future. Your family can continue to live in Didao City, or return to Lintao, Longxi, or live in seclusion in the mountains. The soldiers under your command will choose where they want to live with you. Those who are willing to live with Baishi Mountain will go up the mountain to live; those who are willing to stay in the army for a meal, I will not refuse..."
