Chapter 989: Yang Jian’s ambition
The reason why Dong Zhuo did not let Li Yuanba serve as a guard was actually because Li Yuanba's injury was not fully healed.
In the battle with Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba was so seriously injured that he used up the last of his inner strength to break through the wall of fire. After that, he even fell asleep for three days in a row, and has only recovered to the sixth level so far.
Li Yuanba was seriously injured and had not recovered, and Lu Bu and Hou Yi were both demoted generals. Dong Zhuo did not completely trust them yet, so he could only take Yuwen Chengdu and Jia Fu, two fierce generals from the Liangzhou faction.
When Jia Fu heard that Dong Zhuo had indeed chosen him as the bodyguard, he was so impressed with his father Jia Xu that he admired him deeply.
These were all within Jia Xu's expectations, and he even guessed that Dong Zhuo did not choose Li Yuanba. This shows that Jia Xu's understanding of Dong Zhuo's character is simply outrageous.
Li Yuanba didn't expect that his adoptive father would not choose him, so he asked a little unhappy: "Father, why don't you let Yuanba accompany you? Isn't Yuanba better than them?"
When Yuwen Chengdu and others heard this, they immediately smiled bitterly. Although Li Yuanba lost to Li Cunxiao in the battle of Luoyang and lost his reputation as the best general in the world, his strength was still not comparable to theirs.
Looking at Li Yuanba who looked childish, a rare tenderness flashed across Dong Zhuo's face. He stepped forward to touch Li Yuanba's head and said with a smile: "It's not a dangerous thing. Besides, Yuanba, your injury hasn't healed yet. Just take care of yourself and take care of yourself first, and then come and help your adoptive father after you recover."
Under Dong Zhuo's comfort, Li Yuanba actually showed a look of enjoyment, just like a cat being petted by its owner.
"Then...well, adoptive father must pay attention to safety and go back quickly."
Li Yuanba warned with a concerned look on his face at first, but then turned around and said fiercely to Jia Fu and others: "Listen carefully, you must protect my adoptive father. If he loses a hair, I will I will never spare you."
In addition to Jia Fu, Yu Wen, Chengdu and the other three had even more bitter expressions on their faces. No one would feel comfortable being threatened by someone who had an intellectual disability.
Dong Zhuo not only did not blame Li Yuanba for his arrogant and arrogant behavior, but also laughed. He could feel that although this adopted son was a bit silly, his concern for him was sincere, just like his son Dong Li who had died in the battle. Same.
When he thought of Dong Li, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel a little depressed. People always learn to cherish after losing, but no matter how much they make up for it, it's too late.
"Maybe this is God's punishment for me."
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. He sighed and patted Li Yuanba on the shoulder, then took Jia Fu and other four generals to go to the appointment. But at this time, a carrier pigeon flew into Mianchi City.
Except for the Qin Army and the Jin Army, which have been completely popularized because of Qin Hao, this new communication method of flying pigeons has only been used by most princes, including the Liang Army, for a short time, and the training system of flying pigeons is not yet complete. , the number of homing pigeons is not very large at present, so they can only be used to transmit important information.
Since Dong Zhuo was not in the city lord's palace, Liang Wei could only hand the letter to Yang Jian.
Seeing that it was a letter from Chang'an Feige, Yang Jian naturally attached great importance to it. After reading it, his expression suddenly became extremely exciting.
Jia Xu rebelled and returned eastward with the emperor, and immediately captured Jia Fu!
This was written on the letterhead. Although the number of words was not weak, the amount of information was huge, which made Yang Jian feel unbelievable for a moment.
Jia Xu rebelled? Are you still fleeing eastward with the emperor? So possible!
Yang Jian's first reaction was not to believe it, but Liang Wei's internal information could never be wrong, which made him really have to believe it.
But if Jia Xu really rebelled, wouldn't Jia Fu also...
"No, my lord is in danger."
Yang Jian couldn't help exclaiming, and then ran towards the tower quickly, but he stopped after taking a few steps because a thought flashed through his mind.
So what if Dong Zhuo dies?
If Dong Zhuo really dies, he and Li Yuan will be the highest-ranking people in the Liang Army. Although Li Yuan has the same status as him, he does not control the military power in Guanzhong. He may not be able to replace Dong Zhuo in charge of the Liang Army.
At this thought, Yang Jian's ambition grew wildly, but he forced himself to calm down and repeatedly thought about the possibility of using Jia Fu to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo had so much trust in Jia Xu that he treated Jia Fu as his son and nephew, and he had almost no sense of defensiveness.
If Jia Fu suddenly attacked and killed Dong Zhuo, even if Yuwen Chengdu and others were around, the probability of Dong Zhuo's death would be as high as 80%.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian finally stopped hesitating, turned around slowly, with a ferocious smile on his lips, and stabbed the Liang Wei to death with a decisive sword.
"Now no one will know the news anymore."
Yang Jian's face was full of ferocious color, and the flame of ambition in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger. He said to himself crazily: "Li Yuan is far away in Chang'an. As long as the news of Dong Zhuo's death is blocked, he will not be able to find out in a short time.
This time is enough for me to lead the army into Hangu Pass. Once we enter Chang'an, the overall situation will be decided. By then, all military generals will know what to choose. "
At this thought, Yang Jian's face became even more crazy, and he laughed wildly: "Li Yuan, you are destined to be unable to compete with me.
Although you and I are both state pastors, the troops you command are far inferior to mine. And now Li Shimin has been captured alive by Qin Hao. He doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead...
Why are you arguing with me?
Why are you arguing with me? "
Huh... Yang Jian let out a long breath. Just thinking about everything just now, he felt extremely satisfied both physically and mentally. This was a kind of pleasure that he had never experienced before.
"Dong Zhongying, for the sake of the relationship between the king and his ministers, I will see you off for the last time."
Yang Jian sneered and said to himself, then laughed and walked up to the city tower. He wanted to witness Dong Zhuo's death with his own eyes, and this would also be the beginning of his dominance.
Mianchi, Dongmen, Dong Zhuo and others are heading towards the city gate.
Yuwen Chengdu looked at Jia Fu in confusion. He felt that something was wrong with Jia Fu. As a master warrior, his breathing was disturbed, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jia, are you sick?"
"ah?"
Faced with this sudden question, Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How could it be possible? As long as you are a master warrior, you will not get sick easily, let alone a body cultivator of my generation."
"That's good."
Yuwen Chengdu nodded and said with a serious face: "Although there is no danger in this trip, it involves the safety of the lord after all. As a minister, I must not let the lord encounter a crisis for his own sake, not even in the slightest."
"Yes, yes, brother Chengdu, you are so right. Listening to your words is simply better than ten years of studying."
Jia Fu quickly complimented him, saying that he didn't want to get entangled in this matter anymore, and he couldn't take any risks before he walked out of the city gate.
