Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50: Fall short

Chen Lang nodded. Empress Dowager He was overjoyed and offered a sweet kiss on her own initiative, saying: "When things are done, this palace will definitely not treat the general badly!"

Chen Lang glanced down at the swollen chest of the Queen Mother, and said with a smirk: "The Empress is good enough for the end!" The Queen Mother gave Chen Lang a charming smile.

Chen Lang calmed his mind and said: "To get rid of Dong Zhuo, you need the cooperation of your mother." Empress Dowager He did not hesitate to say: "The general needs the cooperation of the palace, even if you speak out."

Chen Lang said: "I need my empress to write a secret decree to ask for a thief. Only when you speak well, you can act."

Empress Dowager He immediately went to sit behind the book table, spread the paper and picked up a pen, quickly wrote a secret decree, and then handed it to Chen Lang. Chen Lang looked at the secret decree and saw that there was no problem. He folded it and hid it in his arms, saying: "Farewell," Empress Dowager He hurriedly said; "The general must not let the palace stay longer!" Chen Lang nodded and turned towards The Queen Mother gave a fist and left in a hurry.

That night, Chen Lang hosted a banquet for all the generals of the Imperial Forest Army in the big tent. The lights inside the big tent were brightly lit, and the lights were staggered and happy. However, at this moment, around the big tent, Guan Yu had led two hundred warriors with big swords to quietly surround the big tent, and only waited for Chen Lang at the banquet to throw his cup to enter the big tent.

At the banquet, Xia Mou, one of the former eight schools in Xiyuan, raised his wine glass and smiled to Chen Lang and said, "The general is very important to his master, and his future is bound to be limitless. Please help the army by then!" Echo, flattery and flattery one after another.

Chen Lang raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you all for your good words. If I really become so prosperous, I will never forget you dear friends. Come, let's drink this glass together!" Everyone raised their glass and drank it.

Chen Lang raised his head to dry the wine, glanced at the crowd, and was about to throw down the wine glass.

At this moment, Gan Ning hurried in, came to Chen Lang, bent down and whispered: "General, something has happened. Ding Yuan is dead, and all the Bingzhou army has returned to Dong Zhuo."

Chen Lang was startled and asked, "How could this be?"

Gan Ning said: "I heard that Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and led the entire Union State Army to surrender. The specifics are still unclear."

Chen Lang's heart turned overwhelming, and he told Gan Ning to say: "Go and tell Yun Chang immediately that the original plan is cancelled and everyone retreats immediately." Gan Ning responded and hurried away.

The people in the big tent looked at Chen Lang curiously. They only saw Gan Ning and Chen Lang whispering, but they didn't know what they had said.

Chen Lang put down the wine glass gently and smiled: "Tell everyone a good news. Ding Yuan is dead, and the state army has all taken refuge in the Taishi." Everyone was stunned, and then they all yelled in excitement.

Chen Lang smiled and said, "It seems that we don't even have a chance to perform." Everyone smiled.

Chen Lang said, "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Taishi Mansion to congratulate the Taishi." All the generals stood up, bowed to Chen Lang, and left. Only Cao Cao stayed.

Cao Cao asked, "Brother Chen, what is going on?"

Chen Lang said: "The news just got. Ding Yuan's son Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and led all the Bianzhou army to Dong Zhuo."

Cao Cao frowned and said angrily, "How could this happen?"

Chen Lang knew what was going on. The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made it very clear. Dong Zhuo sent his subordinates to buy Lv Bu with gold and silver treasures and Chitu Ma, kill Ding Yuan, and annex the Bingzhou Army. In fact, Chen Lang had long been worried that this would happen, but did not take any measures because of two considerations. First, Chen Lang thought that Dong Zhuo sent Li Su to buy Lu Bu not so quickly. Second, out of consideration of negligence, Chen Lang could indeed tell Ding Yuan about the possibility of Lu Bu being bought by Dong Zhuo. Ding Yuan should be prepared in advance. However, there is a problem in this. Whether it is Chen Lang or Cao Cao, it can be said that there is no intersection with Ding Yuan, and Lv Bu is Ding Yuan’s son. If he rashly talks to Ding Yuan, I’m afraid not only Failure to achieve the desired effect would make Ding Yuan suspicious of himself and Cao Cao, which would be self-defeating. With all these considerations, Chen Lang didn't take any measures against the possibility of Lu Bu being bought. He didn't expect that this happened so quickly, and it was almost unprepared.

Chen Lang stood up and said, "Brother Meng De, let's go for a walk."

The two left the big tent and came to a hill next to the barracks. Chen Lang sat down and said with a wry smile: "This means that people are not as good as the sky! You and I planned so carefully, I didn't expect to lose money in the end!" Cao Cao picked up a stone and threw it into the distance, dejectedly said: "The heavens help the thief!"

Chen Lang asked: "Brother Meng De has any plans?"

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I won't make a difference anymore. I plan to leave here and go to Kanto."

auzw.com Chen Lang nodded. Cao Cao looked at Chen Lang and asked hopefully, "Brother Chen will go with me?"

Chen Lang shook his head and said, "I plan to stay." Cao Cao exclaimed: "It seems Brother Chen is not going to give up!" Then he clasped his fist and said, "Brother Chen, it's not early, I'm leaving." Chen Lang clasped his fist and said: "Brother Meng De is easy to leave." Cao Cao nodded and left.

Chen Lang returned to the big tent and saw that Guan Yu and the other generals were in the big tent. He smiled and asked, "Why don't you go to rest?" Guan Yu came forward and clasped his fists. "

Chen Lang walked to the steps in front of Shuai's case and sat down, spreading his hands, and said, "This is the end of the matter, what else can we do?" The generals were depressed.

Chen Lang glanced at the generals and said: "The time is no longer. If we act rashly, there will be no results except for sacrifice in vain. What we need to do now is to forbear." The generals looked at each other and clasped their fists to promise.

Chen Lang stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, go back and rest." The generals responded and turned around and went out.

Chen Lang couldn't help sighing, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart. Sometimes, manpower is really limited, and there is no such thing as human beings conquering the sky.

The next day, the various branches of the Imperial Forest Army gathered around the Yingyang Army returned to their respective garrisons. Later that day, Chen Lang rushed to the Taishifu to congratulate him. Chen Lang saw Lu Bu for the first time, and it really made people's eyes bright! That is a great man with a majestic figure and extraordinary heroism! Wearing a golden crown with a juvenile tail, a unicorn beast face armor, and a Xichuan Red Brocade and Hundred Flowers jersey behind him, he is majestic and extraordinary! In terms of momentum alone, Guan Yu is a bit inferior to him! Sure enough, it is Lv Bu among the people, and the red rabbit among the horses!

Lu Bu stood beside Dong Zhuo and looked down upon the heroes, and Dong Zhuo laughed, very cheerful.

After Chen Lang walked in the Supreme Master's Mansion, he returned to his mansion in Luoyang City. Put on the costume of the **** and entered the cold palace.

Seeing Queen He, Queen He hurriedly greeted him and asked hopefully; "General, can the big thing be done?"

Chen Lang shook his head, and said: "Ding Yuan was suddenly murdered by his son, and the entire Bingzhou Army was annexed by Dong Zhuo. The original plan could not be carried out."

Empress Dowager He was greatly disappointed, she frowned and did not speak.

Chen Lang said: "Now it seems that the elimination of Dong Zhuo can't be done in a short period of time. Don't be impatient." After a pause, "I guess it won't take long for the world to change dramatically. Then the opportunity will come. The empress still needs to endure for a while." The Queen Mother sighed and said leisurely: "I am a woman, what else can I do besides patience?"

Chen Lang clasped his fist and said, "Niangniang, take care, I'm leaving."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "The general must not forget his promise!" Chen Lang said, "Don't worry, my mother, I will never sit back and watch Dong Zhuo raging on!" He then bowed to the Queen Mother and left. The Queen Mother frowned, her eyes filled with resentment.

Dong Zhuo not only solved the crisis brought by Ding Yuan in one fell swoop, but also annexed the powerful Union State Army in one fell swoop. So far, his arrogance has become more arrogant, contempt of the world, and the entire imperial court shivered in front of him. For his Dong Zhuo's plaything.

Chen Lang was on the bank of the Yellow River, watching his soldiers training in the water, but his thoughts flew far away.

Guan Yu rode to Chen Lang's side and frowned, "Brother, I just heard that Dong Zhuo went out hunting yesterday, and when he returned, he passed through a village to the east of Luoyang, and he blatantly washed the entire town with blood! Men, women, and children were killed! Nearly a thousand people! In addition, I heard that Guo Bang fell in love with the daughter of a big family in Luoyang, and he was so handsome that he broke into the house and looted the daughter! The evil deeds are countless!"

Chen Lang frowned.

Pei Yuanshao rushed over and yelled anxiously: "Something happened! Something happened!" When he came to Chen Lang, he didn't pay a salute, and shouted anxiously: "General, something has happened! Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo this morning. Has fled to Kanto! Dong Zhuo was furious, and sent a sea arrest document in the name of the court to hunt down Cao Cao!"

Guan Yu said in surprise, "I didn't expect Cao Cao to have such courage!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Cao Mengde is really not easy!" Guan Yu said worriedly: "I'm afraid Cao Cao can't escape!" Chen Lang shook his head and said, "Don't worry! Cao Mengde's move was premeditated, and Dong Zhuo could not catch him. !" Turning his head to look at the sky in the distance, and murmured uncontrollably: "The real chaos is about to begin!"

In the Taishi's mansion, Dong Zhuo was still very angry and couldn't help himself, constantly cursing Cao Cao. Xia Mou took the opportunity to say: "Master, then Cao Cao has always been very close to Chen Lang. I am afraid that Chen Lang will not be able to get out of this assassination!"

Many people echoed. Dong Zhuo was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Hearing this, he roared: "Chen Lang boy, he is really impatient to live! First!" Lu Bu immediately clasped his fists; "Foster father!"

Dong Zhuo said viciously: "You immediately lead your army to capture Chen Lang outside the city! If you dare to resist, kill it on the spot!" Lu Bu Yingnuo prepared to leave with a cry. Dong Yuan suddenly said: "Father, I think General Yingyang is definitely not such a person!" Niu Fu saw that Dong Yuan actually spoke for Chen Lang, and couldn't help being very dissatisfied, saying: "Chen Lang is rebelling, the evidence is solid!"
