He was so angry that he leaned against the railing and the rain stopped. ------"Man Jiang Hong" by Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty
The endless night shrouded Beimang Mountain, just like Chen Long's mood at this moment. The serrated dagger in his right hand was tightly suppressed by Lu Fengxian's halberd, like a big mountain, which made Chen Long unable to move. He could only watch the triumphant Dong Zhuo wrap up the Han Shao Emperor and King Chen Liu, and lead the Xiliang troops towards Luoyang City.
Chen Long suddenly touched his left hand from his arms, and there was already a faint blue folding bow on his palm, which was the Zheyue Crossbow. The folded bow miraculously opened on its own, and the crossbow box jumped out, revealing an arrow tail. Chen Long hung the broken crossbow on the horse's head, took the arrow and strung it with one hand like lightning. When he raised it again, the full-strung broken crossbow was aimed at Ding Yuan, who was on Lu Bu's left hand.
Lu Bu's halberd was pulled by the Qi machine and stretched forward a few inches threateningly. Suddenly he felt a huge force coming from Chen Long's dagger, making it difficult to move forward any further. Lu Bu was shocked. When he tried to increase his strength, Chen Long's Zheyue Crossbow had already locked onto Ding Yuan, his adoptive father beside him. Lu Bu was slightly startled, and quickly calculated that even if he thrust the halberd into Chen Long's chest, Ding Yuan would probably die. The halberd did not dare to move again, and the confrontation between the two sides resumed.
Ding Yuan himself had extraordinary martial arts skills, but now he felt that no matter how he moved, he could not escape the range of Chen Long's crossbow. His body was frozen and he did not dare to move. After another moment of stalemate, Ding Yuan laughed dryly and said: "Wen Long, we are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, why should we kill each other."
Chen Long sneered, silently using his mysterious skills to resist Lu Bu's increasingly heavy pressure, and said: "Brother Jianyang, I respect you for being a few years older, but I didn't expect you to be willing to be Dong Zhuo's lackey."
In one sentence, Ding Yuan's heartache was revealed. Dong Zhuo was very powerful. Before he burned Meng Jin to death, he had indeed obtained Dong Zhuo's promise to reward him, so he colluded with Dong Zhuo. Now that Dong Zhuo has kidnapped the Young Emperor of Han and returned to the dynasty, he still doesn't know what benefits he can get for himself. However, he is here to resist Chen Long's thunder for him. He can't help but secretly curse Dong Zhuo as an old fox.
Seeing the change in Ding Yuan's expression, Chen Long knew that he had spoken to Ding Yuan's heart, and said with an even more sincere expression: "Brother Jianyang, wise people don't speak secretly. The situation in front of us is clear. Since Dong Zhuo has kidnapped the young emperor, I am afraid that the imperial edict will be issued in the future. It comes from him, and we all have to look up to his breath. I have no friendship with Dong Zhuo. At worst, I can return to my Lingling and continue to separate my business, but what can Brother Jianyang gain?"
Seeing Ding Yuan frowning and thinking, Chen Long continued to sneer: "Brother Jianyang is the boss of Bingzhou, and his status is not lower than Dong Zhuo, at least he is on an equal footing with him. But this time you stopped my army and horses and let Dong Zhuo kidnap the Young Emperor of Han. Attack, Brother Jianyang will be treated as a guard dog by Dong Zhuo from now on. He will reward you with a bone at most, but will you kneel down and wag your tail at him?"
Ding Yuan's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, gradually forming a big knot.
Chen Long continued to use the art of attacking Ding Yuan's mind, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, the cunning rabbit died and the lackey was cooked. What's more, today, brother Jianyang, you have offended me for a mere Dong Zhuo. Aren't you afraid that you will have trouble sleeping in the future?"
Ding Yuan was greatly moved when he heard this, but Lu Bu's face was as dark as water. Silence was golden, but he did not put any pressure on his hands. Chen Long finally said: "Dong Zhuo is a jackal. Brother Jianyang, you relied on Lu Bu and Lu Feng to stop me today, but you didn't know that you brought a fatal disaster to yourself."
Chen Long's words actually have a double meaning. One is that Ding Yuan stopped him from competing with Dong Zhuo for the Young Emperor, and he will never let Ding Yuan go in the future; the other is that if Lü Bu joins Dong Zhuo in the future, Ding Yuan will be killed. It's a pity that Ding Yuan may not be able to understand this second meaning in his lifetime.
Ding Yuan's expression changed, and he finally said softly: "Feng Xian, follow me into the city."
Lu Bu suddenly drew back his halberd, beat his horse and retreated into the crowd. Chen Long felt that the heavy pressure like a mountain suddenly disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help exhaling a breath from his chest. The Zheyue Crossbow locked on Ding Yuan also lowered down from the saddle bridge. He raised his hand to stop the angry surrounding Gan Ning and other generals. .
Ding Yuan turned around and left, leading the generals to rush to Luoyang. The Ding Yuan infantry behind him also followed. Chen Long shouted: "Brother Jianyang, why not work together to resist Dong Zhuo!"
Ding Yuan's shoulders trembled slightly, and without looking back, his horse speed increased and galloped away. Gan Ning behind him said: "My lord, that man named Fengxian seems to have terrible martial arts skills?"
Chen Long recovered somewhat from the regret of losing the Young Emperor of Han, and said to Gan Ning: "Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian are superior to me in martial arts. If we are on the battlefield, we must not challenge him in a duel or use tricks to capture him."
Gan Ning was very dissatisfied when his lord praised Lu Bu so much. He thought that one day I would have to fight this man named Lu. Chen Long's voice came: "Xingba, listen to my general's order." Gan Ning put aside his worries and listened to his lord's general's order.
Chen Long said: "For this plan, we must grab some bargaining chips that can be used to negotiate with Dong Zhuo. Now we have gained nothing in Luoyang, and our strength is not as good as Dong Zhuo's. Queen He's life is in danger. The first army is fighting in Hanzhong, and we don't know when it will reach Chang'an. "
"The only way is to let Huang Gai lead an army of 10,000 people. While Dong Zhuo is getting carried away tonight and has no time to send troops to Chang'an, he rushes to Chang'an overnight to seize the city."
Gan Ning was shocked and said: "How can we leave the master here alone? It is too dangerous."
Chen Long shook his head and said: "This is the only way. If Dong Zhuo wants to return to Chang'an, he will have to sit down and negotiate. As for me," he pointed at Lu Chang and said, "don't I still have more than 200 elite team members to protect me?" Is it? Escape is not a problem. Besides, if Dong Zhuo attacks me with all his strength, the ten thousand of you will just die for me. On the contrary, it will be easier for me to escape without being a hindrance. With Chang'an as a bargaining chip, Dong Zhuo will not easily Move me."
Gan Ning was a hero by nature, so after hearing this, he led two thousand cavalry and joined Huang Gai along the way. After Gan Ning left, Chen Long looked at the more than a hundred special warriors behind him, and with strong fighting spirit in his heart, he shouted: "My sons, follow me into the city!"
Tonight, Luoyang is in chaos. Warlord troops from all over the country have entered the city one after another, and occasionally there are soldiers looting people's houses. The people were so frightened that they trembled at home, fearing that they would offend some killing god and kill their entire family. There were also loyal and good generals who restrained the troops and protected the people. There was a lot of friction between the several troops entering the city.
Chen Long's hundred-man special forces entered the city at dawn and took advantage of the chaos in the night to hide in the compound prepared by Zhao Da. Early the next morning, Chen Long led all the troops, all carrying serrated daggers, to the palace gate to wait to go to court. Before dawn, hundreds of officials gathered in the square in front of the Nangong Palace, asking each other what happened last night.
Chen Long once entered the court in a high profile to receive the reward from Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty after the Yellow Turban War. Many officials who knew him came forward to greet him. They were surprised that Chen Long appeared at this critical moment. They all inquired about Chen Long's purpose. Chen Long only said that he came to the capital on He Jin's order, but he didn't know anything else and tried to pass by.
Later, Ding Yuan appeared, followed closely by Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. Lu Bu changed into court clothes. He was extremely tall, slightly taller than Chen Long, with extremely broad shoulders and long arms. His long hair was styled into a high bun, locked with a long hairpin, and surrounded by a gauze cap. The soft armor is faintly exposed under the court uniform, and a long sword hangs from his waist, making him even more tall and handsome, with a calm and mighty aura.
Ding Yuan's eyes met with Chen Long's, and he nodded implicitly, making Chen Long think that he had an illusion. Several local generals who had arrived in Luoyang appeared one after another in the square in front of the Nangong Palace. There were Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao who had massacred the eunuchs last night. Cao Cao, Chen Lin and other He Jin's cronies also appeared one after another. Xun You arrived at the same time as Cao Cao, sweeping He glanced at Chen Long and others and blinked secretly.
Later, Wang Yun, who had just been put into important positions by He Jin, also appeared in the square. All the ministers gathered for a while, but Dong Zhuo, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was not held hostage. A large number of officials had gathered around Yuan Shao. After listening to Yuan Shao talk about how General He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, the officials who had a good relationship with the eunuchs were already beating the drums uneasily in their hearts, anticipating what was about to happen. The general cleaning was so desperate that some people even started to apply oil on the soles of their feet to notify their families to take shelter.
Chen Long was also among the crowd, listening to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu telling the story of He Jin's death and the massacre of eunuchs last night. Suddenly he felt a roll of silk in his sleeve. When he took it out secretly, he found it was Xun You's handwriting, with a " time and place. Chen Long knew that Xun You was anxious to meet him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly hid the silk cloth in his arms.
It was already dark and there was no movement in the palace. Chen Long became increasingly anxious. Last night, Dong Zhuo kidnapped the Young Emperor of Han and returned to the palace. I really don't know if he will take action against Queen He immediately. Logically speaking, the palace suffered such a change last night. Queen He should preside over the court meeting today to correct the situation and avoid greater chaos.
After waiting for about an hour, the sky turned dark and it started to drizzle. The palace door finally opened. When everyone looked carefully, they saw an official in purple hurriedly walked out of the palace door. He seemed to be one of Dong Zhuo's men. The man held the edict in his hand and stood on the high platform of the palace gate to read it out. All the ministers knelt at the foot of the steps and heard the edict read: "Investigate Zhang Rang, Duan Gui and other ten regular servants, who colluded with officials and held the emperor hostage." He intended to form a party for personal gain, harm the country and the people, and cause great chaos in the world. The people are in dire straits. Fortunately, there are loyal ministers Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others, as well as Liu Yu, Ding Yuan and other generals who are loyal to the country. They beheaded all the ten permanent servants, and I have the world. An. Now, Dong Zhuo is appointed as Taiwei, and he also leads the former general. He is given a special title, axes, axes and tigers, and is granted the title of Marquis. All ministers who have made meritorious services this time will be rewarded by Taiwei Dong based on their merits. "
After that, without waiting for everyone to thank him, he turned around and walked into the palace door, which was locked again. Chen Long stood up and saw everyone looking at each other in the drizzle. Thinking that Queen He's life and death were unknown, he couldn't help but get angry and suddenly shouted: "Please show up, Queen Mother He and the Emperor, to reassure all the ministers!"
