"General, drinking is prohibited in this army. In order not to violate military orders, my general will not come to the banquet. Please forgive me, general!"
The voice of the general's personal guard was still echoing in Dong Zhuo's ears, but Dong Zhuo no longer knew where to look.
The empty Chinese army tent did not seem to have the slightest hint of a banquet.
No... It should be said that Dong Zhuo really wanted to entertain those people, but those people... really had no intention of attending the banquet.
When the banquet was ready to begin, and when the specially hired chef asked if he wanted to serve roasted mutton, Dong Zhuo looked at the empty Chinese army tent, and he was a little at a loss... and he didn't know what to do. It's good.
Fortunately, someone told Dong Zhuo that it was because drinking was not allowed in the army that they did not attend the banquet. It was not that Dong Zhuo forgot to tell his guests.
He wants to entertain these people...
The guard who I don’t know who just said it was right. Drinking and womanizing are not allowed in the army. This is the rule!
Rules in the military!
When Dong Zhuo followed the old general Zhang Huan, he knew this rule, but he also knew... This army has never said that banquets are not allowed.
Dong Zhuo was not a fool. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to get acquainted with the descendants of aristocratic families from the capital, as well as famous ministers and generals, so that they could work together in the future.
But it was obvious that the other party saw his thoughts clearly, but... the other party was not prepared to give him any chance.
Don't even plan to give him any respect!
And the matter did not end there. Just when Dong Zhuo was in a daze, his confidant Li Ru also came to him and whispered to him.
"General Dong, just now the Polu captain Wu Kuang and Wu Polu sent his bodyguard to report that he had eaten something cold for lunch and is feeling a little uncomfortable now..."
Halfway through his words, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, and Li Ru, who followed closely behind him, also helplessly closed his mouth.
The unfinished words were swallowed back again, and he knew that he could not continue speaking.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's bitter look, he seemed to understand Dong Zhuo's thoughts and his helplessness.
But at this time, even though he, Li Ru, had all kinds of abilities, he was powerless in the face of this scene.
Because this is not the battlefield at this time, this is their most helpless place, family background!
Not only did this group of people not give Dong Zhongying face, but Dong Zhongying did not dare to have any intention of revenge.
It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t dare! Not at all!
Just like Wu Kuang who just said he was unwell, his reason for working part-time was ridiculous to the extreme, but his identity made his reason full of truth.
His status in this army is not as good as others, and it is not similar to the long-standing wealthy families such as the Zhong family and the Zhao family.
Some people say that he is a collateral descendant of Wu Han, while others say that he comes from an ordinary wealthy family.
But no matter what, he is a serious Yanzhou wealthy family, and he is not comparable to Dong Zhuo, a son of a good family in the northwest.
The most important thing is that he is He Jin's confidant and is deeply trusted by He Jin.
Moreover, he dared to slander He Jin's younger brother He Miao in front of He Jin, and succeeded repeatedly. This shows Wu Kuang's status in He Jin's heart.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo knew that Wu Kuang was deliberately not giving him face and making him look ugly.
But he couldn't say anything at all. He didn't dare to talk to the other party, because offending Wu Kuang would be equivalent to offending Zhang Zhang and others who were standing side by side with Wu Kuang.
His brother who was a hostage in Luoyang once said that Wu Kuang was an extraordinary being and a big shot in the general's palace.
Originally, Dong Zhuo wanted to use this relationship to win over Wu Kuang, but now...he has no chance.
Even these words seemed like a joke to him.
Even another confidant of Dong Zhuo, Hu Zhen, came to report that Wu Kuang was drinking and having fun in the tent with several other generals, such as Zhang Zhang, Feng Fang, Zhao Rong and others.
Dong Zhuo could only show a somewhat bitter smile again.
The behavior of Wu Kuang and others was not only a disgrace to Dong Zhuo, it was also a violation of military orders, and the violation was the reason they had just given.
There is a military order not to drink alcohol in the army. If Lu Zhi were here, the heads of these people would have been picked off.
But Lu Zhi is not here, and the current commander of the army is Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo...does he dare to take action?
Of course not!
Who is behind Dong Zhuo? There is no one behind Dong Zhuo. If there is someone, it is just those eunuchs who only recognize money but not people.
So Dong Zhuo...didn't he know it himself?
Guys like Wu Kuang and others were close associates of General He Jin, and they would never be afraid of people like Dong Zhuo.
Not only because he has no backer, but also because he hopes to have one...
At this time, Dong Zhuo's face kept trembling. He knew that this was a show of force, and those people did not dare to provoke Lu Zhi, a famous person in the world.
But he didn't care at all, they just did it on purpose.
But he had no choice but to sigh dejectedly. Even the hand he raised high to slap the case in anger could only be put down in vain.
Even at this moment, Dong Zhuo did not dare to vent his anger.
Just because he was afraid that if this anger reached the ears of those people, he would be hostile to them.
Contempt is better than guilt and hostility. His future has just begun, and he can't just lose everything like this.
At this time, in Wu Kuang's tent, Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others were drinking loudly. They were close friends and joined the general's tent together, so many things were very clear.
At this time, he was laughing very happily.
Only Zhao Rong, although he had a good background, had just joined General He Jin not long ago. He didn't know the reason and always felt that what they did was a bit too much.
But... Zhao Rong, who came from a high background, didn't look dissatisfied at all. He just had some bad feelings, but he didn't intend to stand up for Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Wu Kuang looked at Zhao Rong drinking silently, and couldn't help but smile, and took the initiative to greet Zhao Rong.
"I said Brother Zhao, look at the adopted son you have today.
Why are you so reserved?
Is it possible that you are still worried that those good men dare to go against us? "
Wu Kuang was quite arrogant at this time. He drank a mouthful of fine wine and even let out a big wine burp.
After Zhang Zhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Rong and started to invite him for a drink.
Zhao Rong, who was well-known among this group of people, looked at Wu Kuang's appearance. Although he didn't want to disturb his interest, he couldn't help but say.
"Of course Dong Zhuo doesn't have the courage, but...Rong feels that he, Dong Zhuo, is also the new General Dong Zhonglang appointed by His Majesty.
Not only was he the commander-in-chief of the army, I heard that he was also the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County. In total, he was a high-ranking official worth two thousand dan.
I'm going to treat him like this today..."
"Hahahahaha...Brother Zhao, you are really making me laugh to death, hahahaha..."
Before Zhao Rong finished speaking, Wu Kuang and his friend Zhang Zhang started laughing, causing others to burst into laughter.
Among them, Zhang Zhang, who came from the poorest family, spat on the ground with a mouth full of phlegm, with a look of disdain on his face.
"General Zhao Rong, you can rest assured that this matter has nothing to do with His Majesty, let alone the imperial court!
Today we are going to tell him, so what if he has an official position of two thousand dan?
In the northwest, Two Thousand Stones is a figure, but in our eyes, in this land of the Central Plains, Two Thousand Stones...hehehe...
Which of the wealthy and aristocratic families with a little bit of vision doesn't have two thousand stones! "
