Chapter 21 New Sikong

Cao Cao usually looked careless, but in fact he was meticulous. Like Zhang Meng, he quickly smelled an abnormality from Lu Bu's words and asked directly: "Where is Ding Jianyang?"

When Lu Bu heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy and he looked at him: "Who is your lord?"

"Cao Cao, the captain of the Xiyuandian Military Academy."

"Oh, Mr. Cao, I'll do it." Lu Bu's expressionless face, "Are you familiar with Ding Jianyang?"

Cao Cao replied, "Just nodding." He then asked, "If I know nothing, you are working around Ding Jianyang, and now that you are following the military orders of Gong Dong, it seems that Ding Jianyang has handed over the military power to Gong Dong?"

Lu Bu said calmly: "Ding Jianyang has bad intentions, and I will work with Mr. Dong to kill him."

"Ah? Ding Jianyang is dead?"

Except for Zhang Meng, everyone present was shocked.

"When did it happen?" Cao Cao swallowed hard.

"Just last night." Lu Bu turned his head and frowned slightly, as if he was slightly unhappy because of the memories.

Min Gong was shocked and doubted: "Ding Jianyang is among the nine ministers. Even if he is guilty, he must first detain the person with the Censor and hand it over to the court magistrate, and then verify his crime. If the family members are not in the capital, they must send a special person to the prefectures and counties where they live together to control them. After these are done, they must submit the emperor and wait for instructions... How can they be killed just by saying that they can be killed?"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "As soon as the thief is put on your neck, you won't be so particular."

"So Ding Jianyang's troops..." Zhang Meng said along the topic.

"Dong Gong is very tolerant and does not care about the crime of threatening to follow. Ding Jianyang's troops are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and they are all under Dong Gong's command." As Lu Bu said, blue veins burst out from his forehead, "It's okay to tell you something more. Humph, not only the Bingzhou soldiers, but also the troops of Dong Gong entered the city, the general, and the general of the chariots and cavalry were also convinced and defected to Dong Gong. Early this morning, Dong Gong was already under the position of Sikong. In this way, all troops in the capital were basically collected, headed by Dong Gong, and the turbulent situation was settled immediately."

Cao Cao and others were shocked by the sudden change and looked at each other.

Zhang Meng had foreseeed it and thought to himself: "Dong Zhuo can enter the city smoothly, but he must be supported by Yuan Wei. Yuan Wei gave him the title and strength, which shows that he made up his mind to push Dong Zhuo to the front and be his own agent." He also thought, "The Yuan family in Runan is the best in both fame and power. Looking around, from the central court to the local prefectures and counties, there are disciples and former officials of Yuan's family everywhere. This is probably the confidence of Yuan Wei to control Dong Zhuo."

"But just one day, Gong Dong will withdraw his troops and become Sikong, which is probably not in accordance with the etiquette?" Min Gong's chest was undulating and his breathing was uneven.

Sikong is not an ordinary position, but one of the three Dukes, who is ranked alongside Taiwei and Situ, and cannot be held by non-famous masters. For a long time, the three Dukes have been mostly selected by highly respected scholars and scholars, and even famous generals like Huangfu Song are not qualified to be selected. Dong Zhuo is just a warrior with some military achievements, but now he is now on the rise and it is indeed not convincing.

Lu Bu said coldly: "The imperial system has lost its rule, and it is urgent to have someone to support the country. In extraordinary times, it is not reasonable to judge it." He said this, "I have said everything I should say. What are the questions? Gong Dong coordinated the military and horse garrisons of all parties and could not be stationed in the city. This area needs to be temporarily adjusted to a camp. I am working together, and I hope you don't misunderstand."

At the same time, Cai Yan and her husband were surrounded by the people not far away. It turned out that the people were extremely hungry. Even though the porridge and water were poured all over the ground, they still rushed forward and scrambled. When the people nearby saw the crowd gathering, they all rushed forward and rushed forward. The crowds were crowded and crowded, and fierce fighting broke out, and all kinds of screams, scolding and crying came one after another.

Zhang Meng was worried that Cai Yan would be hurt by the crazy hungry people, so he jumped forward and wanted to push away the thick walls of people, but there were too many people in front of him. He was in it and was submerged in less than a moment.

When they were extremely anxious, they heard a few whistles. The hungry people who were already in the middle of the crowd suddenly screamed and fled with their heads. Looking back, it was Lu Bu and his cavalry who stepped on him. Several hungry people could not walk in time and had their ribs and legs broken. The screams were extremely tragic, which was the most direct threat to other hungry people.

Zhang Meng couldn't have so many things to do. He found the right gap and rushed in. He could find the helpless Cai Yan at a glance. Without saying a word, he covered her eyes with one hand, put his waist with the other hand, and turned around and left with the helpless person.

The hungry people around quickly scattered under the expulsion of several cavalry such as Lu Bu, and Zhang Meng also brought Cai Yan to a safe place.

"Zhao Ji, are you okay?"

Zhang Meng lowered his head and found that Cai Yan's face, which should have been snow-white in his arms, was flushed. He immediately felt something was wrong and let go of his hand.

Cao Cao tsk a few times and said with a slight slight note: "Zhaoji, why are you going to Hedong? Isn't you a good husband here?"

Cai Yan was stunned and stood there, forgetting to organize his wrinkled hair and dress.

When Lu Bu got closer, he tapped the horse whip in his hand: "You should use thunder to deal with these lowly embryos. The more you treat them, the less they will take you seriously."

Cai Yan said annoyedly: "If you hadn't knocked over the wooden barrel, why would it be like this!" He heard a shrill scream in his ears, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Lu Bu smiled: "The little girl is ignorant."

Zhang Meng looked at the cavalry who were still chasing the people and said, "Brother Lu, Mr. Dong is new to come, and he needs to appease the people. It is better to stop at the right time."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It makes sense. If you kill someone here, you may cause trouble for Mr. Dong, and you will blame me for being ineffective." So he shouted and stopped his subordinates.

Cai Yan was in a mess and didn't want to stay for a long time. Zhang Meng accompanied her to the side of the car.

The dusty husband wanted to help Cai Yan get into the car. Cai Yan shook his head at him and looked at Zhang Meng and said, "Chengying, my father said, when I was sixteen years old, I will marry to Hedong."

Zhang Meng was stunned by a word for no reason. He immediately came to his senses and murmured: "Sixteen years old...that's next year? The teacher is not still in the southeast and without parents, how can he organize a marriage?"

Cai Yan's eyelids drooped slightly and he whispered: "Actually, my father left Wu Di and returned to Beijing two months ago."

“Two months ago…”

Zhang Meng nodded secretly. Cai Yong avoided disaster back then because the late emperor was not careful. As Cao Cao said, since the late emperor died, he could have gone home long ago.

"If you have time, please send me a ride."

Cai Yan suddenly looked up, his eyes circling, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing.

"Hedong, what's the best place to go?"

Zhang Meng was surprised to say this when he was a traitor.

Cai Yan also opened his eyes wide: "What did you say?"

Zhang Meng pretended to be relaxed, shrugged and smiled, "It's nothing, I will definitely give it to you."

Cai Yan stared at Zhang Meng for a long time, stammered for a moment, and finally sighed and got on the bus.

"Chengying, take good care of yourself."

The wheels moved again, and the light blue crepes swayed lightly in the wind, and then followed Cai Yan's voice and disappeared into the distance.

Zhang Meng thought to himself: "Hedong Wei family is indeed a famous gentry, but Zhao Ji's husband is unknown. If I remember it well, Zhao Ji was not happy later and was moved and fell into the hands of the Huns. Since I have affection for her, how could I watch her fall into a foreign land? Hedong Wei family, huh, what's so great about it? Am I also the Zhang family in Dunhuang?"

The original Zhang Meng chose to buried his feelings deeply in his heart, but now Zhang Meng's enterprising and competitive spirit is far from comparable to the past, so his ideas naturally changed. However, after a series of events, he remembered Cai Yan's marriage in his heart, and his thoughts immediately turned back to the most important thing at present.

Seeing Zhang Meng walking back with his head down, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Chengying, can't bear to leave?"

Zhang Meng also smiled: "Brother Meng De is joking. When something big is coming, how can you think about anything else?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said leisurely: "I have always felt like you have changed in the past two days. Are you the Zhang Chengying I know?"

Zhang Meng thought to himself: "Cao Mengde's insight is indeed keen." He responded: "Hao of Huaiyin was not revealed either." He gave a soft nail.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "What a Zhang Chengying, interesting! Interesting!"
