Chapter 43 Dong Zhuo's words

Ma Chao led his army back to the palace, and after meeting with Pang De, he led the soldiers of the Imperial Guards to guard the imperial city, guarding the palace gate, and preparing to prepare for war.

At about the morning, Dong Zhuo led three thousand iron cavalry to the palace gate of the imperial city. When he saw the imperial guards guarding the palace gate above the palace gate, he was shocked. Seeing this, Li Ru hurriedly offered a plan to him. When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately went out of the battle and said, "You thieves dare to kidnap Your Majesty. If you don't open the palace gate, I can only attack the gate by tying my army."

"Bold Dong Zhuo, Your Majesty is here, you still dismounted. Do you want to rebel?" Ma Chao walked out of the wall and protected the young emperor to climb the gatehouse.

"Hmph, it's clear that you are threatening Your Majesty and you dare to speak nonsense." When Dong Zhuo saw the emperor, his aura was obviously weak, but he did not intend to dismount and pay homage.

"Come on, open the palace gate, ring the Jingyang bell, and summon all the ministers to enter the palace to discuss." The young emperor Liu Xie looked at the cavalry troops in front of the palace gate, and was really scared, but at the instruction of Ma Chao, he finally plucked up his courage to shout.

"According to Your Majesty's order, open the palace gate and welcome all officials to the court to discuss matters." Ma Chao looked at Dong Zhuo coldly and started to shout.

"According to Your Majesty's order, I respectfully invite all officials to enter the palace." At the opening of the palace gate, Pang De led three hundred Western Liang Iron Cavalry, stood on the left and right side of the palace gate, stared at Dong Zhuo, and started drinking provocatively.

When Dong Zhuo wanted to lead his army straight in, he saw Pang De standing in front of the palace gate, like a god of killing, which made him sweat in a cold sweat and hesitated for a moment but dared not come forward.

"Lord, even though that general is fierce, how can he fight against our thousands of troops? Why not drive the troops into it?" Li Ru knew his thoughts when he saw Dong Zhuo's expression, so he offered advice.

After all, Dong Zhuo was also a battlefield for a long time. He knew that no matter how powerful the general was, he could not resist thousands of troops. Just as he followed Li Ru's plan and was about to pass the order, the meteor horse Fei reported it: "Lord, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, led 30,000 troops and camped in the west of the city."

Dong Zhuo, who was about to move, frowned. Before he could answer, a meteor horse flew again: "Lord, Governor Ding leads a thousand iron cavalry, has entered the city and is rushing towards the palace gate."

Faced with this sudden news, Dong Zhuo was caught off guard and had to give up the idea of ​​leading his army into the palace. Li Ru then offered another suggestion: "Lord, all the troops and horses in the city gather together, and you should not move lightly. It is better to retreat for the time being. First, the troops and horses in the city will be incorporated and then make a decision."

"I will follow your plan, but I, Dong Zhuo, cannot lose face. But I set up a camp here and I will set up a banquet. When the officials arrive, I will treat them well." Dong Zhuo was determined, and came up with another plan, so he laughed.

"Lord is very good. You can also test the hearts of the ministers and ministers in the court." Li Ru understood it and quickly echoed and laughed.

"Your Majesty, let's get rid of the court meeting today. Zhuo is going to entertain the ministers and ministers in front of the palace gate. You should go back to the palace to rest." Dong Zhuo had his idea and shouted proudly at the young emperor in the palace city.

"Dong Zhuo is traitorous and bullying me too much. Master Ma, you must have killed him for me." Seeing that he was so despised, the young emperor looked at Dong Zhuo below angrily and hummed softly.

"Your Majesty, let me go back to the palace for now. Let me go and meet him." Ma Chao knew that he wanted to kill Dong Zhuo at this time. Unless he had an elite army in his hand, he could only think about it.

After getting off the city tower, Ma Chao rode alongside Pang De and stood in front of the palace gate.

At this time, a soldier rushed over, and set up a position outside Dong Zhuo's army's arrow. The leader came out of the horse and shouted: "Where is Your Majesty? I am here to protect the enemy."

"Governor Ding is coming just in time. Your Majesty is preparing to summon you, so you can follow me into the palace." Ma Chao rode out and shouted loudly.

"Brother Jianyang, your majesty is fine. I will not be able to pay tribute today. I think you will finish my banquet and it will not be too late to enter the palace to pay homage to you another day." Dong Zhuo also urged his horse to come out of the formation and shouted.

Ding Yuan recognized Dong Zhuo naturally. Although it was strange to see him invite him like this, he did not refuse. After all, it was a match between colleagues and had no old grudges before. He was a little confused about the words between Ma Chao and Dong Zhuo, so he was unable to make up his mind for a while.

"General Ma, you have the courage to come and have a few drinks." Seeing that Ding Yuan had stabilized, Dong Zhuo shouted provocatively at Ma Chao.

"Even if you are a Hongmen Banquet, what's my Ma Chao afraid of me?" Ma Chao saw that Ding Yuan would obviously not believe him for a while, and knew that he would not be willing to go if he wanted him to enter the palace, so he smiled and stepped off his horse. He accepted Dong Zhuo's invitation. He wanted to see what other tricks Dong Zhuo could do, but Pang De followed closely behind him with a serious expression and walked towards Dong Zhuo's formation.

Ding Yuan also got off the war horse and walked towards Dong Zhuo's formation. Behind him was a man, with a majestic weapon, holding a square sky painting halberd in his hand, and walking in a dragon and tiger steps, looking majestic.

Dong Zhuo was in front of the formation and ordered the soldiers to set up their seats. He saw Ma Chao and Ding Yuan coming. Although he was murderous, the generals standing behind the two were all evil intent, and they were obviously not ordinary people, so he hurriedly gave up this idea.

After a while, all the civil and military officials who heard the bell gathered in front of the palace gate. Dong Zhuo naturally forced them to enter the seat. Although the officials and officials were angry, they had to swallow their anger when they saw the thousands of cavalry behind Dong Zhuo.

After three rounds of wine, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the alcohol and shouted, "I came to protect the general's order. However, Your Majesty now believes in slander and disbelief of Zhuo. Such a king is really stupid and it is better to abolish him. What do the officials think?"

"Dong Zhuo is traitor, you are selfish." Yuan Shao immediately jumped out and asked.

"Bold, do you think my sword is not good?" Dong Zhuo saw that it was Yuan Shao, so he was about to draw his sword and kill him.

"You Dong Zhuo has the final say in the matter of abolishing the establishment. I, Ding Yuan, was the first to disobey. Could it be that you still want to kill me?" Ding Yuan saw Dong Zhuo draw his sword, and immediately pressed his sword and shouted.

"It turns out that there is no good banquet, so it's better not to drink it." Ma Chao got up and sneered, threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and glared at Dong Zhuo.

Seeing that it aroused public anger, Li Ru hurriedly said, "My lord is drunk, all of you can disperse."

"Hmph." Yuan Shao snorted coldly, stepped onto the war horse, and left quickly. After returning to the camp, he led his confidant generals and more than a thousand personal soldiers from his headquarters to join Hebei.
