Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang turned his head and smiled: "Don't be so nervous, there is no ambush here."

Cao Ren smiled awkwardly. Cao Cao smiled and said: "The battle is over, Chen Lang and I are brothers again. Brother Chen will not harm the brothers, just relax."

Chen Lang and Cao Cao went straight to Dukang Tower. The Dukang Building had reopened a day ago, but Luoyang had just experienced a huge turmoil. There were few guests in the Dukang Building and it seemed very deserted.

Chen Lang and Cao Cao came to the second floor and sat down by the window, while Gan Ning and Cao Ren sat at another table not far away. Chen Lang asked for a pot of wine and a few side dishes, so he chatted with Cao Cao.

Chen Lang asked with a smile: "Brother Meng De doesn't seem to be very disappointed?" Cao Cao laughed, "It is false to say that I am not disappointed. But this result is also in my expectation." He picked up the wine glass and looked up. He drank it, and said mockingly: "How magnificent the 18th princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo is! In the end, it was such an anticlimactic result! But this time, there were a lot of gains. At least I can see the details of the 18th princes. There is no decent person! Only Liu Bei, although only a small county magistrate, makes me look different!"

Chen Lang asked with a smile: "Where is Sun Jian? Jiangdong Tiger, the vanguard who broke through the tiger prison!"

Cao Cao's eyes showed contempt, and said: "I originally thought he was a human being, but now it seems that he is just a short-sighted and greedy man! This person is not worth mentioning! It is Zhou Yu next to him, who is very young. He is very resourceful! Although Sun Jian is not worth mentioning, with this person's help, Sun Jian can be regarded as a strong enemy!"

Chen Lang smiled, picked up the wine bottle to refill Cao Cao's wine, put down the wine bottle, and asked with a smile: "Then there are other princes like Liu Biao and Liu Zhang who were not present? Could it be that Brother Meng De liked it? Eye?"

Cao Cao laughed, and said, "Brother Chen knowingly asked! These people dare not step forward in the face of the court and the emperor's disaster. They are even more inferior than the 18th Route princes, but they are just a group of ineffective wastes. In the future, the world will be in chaos, and these people will only be other people’s dishes!"

Chen Lang glanced at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Listening to Brother Meng De's words, it seems that Brother Meng De's advocacy of the 18th Route princes against Dong Zhuo this time is really to help the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao said, "Brother Chen is my confidant, don't he understand me?"

Chen Lang smiled: "Then I'll try to tell if it's right or not." Cao Cao smiled slightly and looked at Chen Lang. Chen Lang glanced at Cao Cao and said, "Although Brother Meng De is interested in transforming the world with his ideals, he still has an inseparable feeling for the big man. Brother Meng De advocated the 18th Route princes to attack Dong Zhuo, of course, to defeat Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo Kuang helped the Han Dynasty, but at the same time, he wanted to make great contributions in the process so that he could have a place in the court and transform the country according to his own intentions. However, brother Meng De looked forward and could definitely see the 18 princes. If you are pregnant with a ghost, the crusade against Dong Zhuo is likely to fail. But brother Meng De should not worry about failure. If it fails, in the eyes of Brother Meng De, the road of Kuangfu Hanshi is completely unworkable, and the next step is the world. Troubled times. Brother Meng De has won a high reputation during this crusade. This is the biggest capital in the troubled times." Chen Lang himself did not have such a thorough knowledge, but Chen Lang has seen and studied Cao Cao in later generations. Most of these remarks are written by the historian of China. In fact, most of these remarks are a judgment obtained by that historian after decades of work.

Cao Cao's eyes were colorful, and then he burst into laughter, and sighed with a thumbs up at Chen Lang, "I, Cao Mengde, has a confidant like Brother Chen. It's really worthwhile to live this life!" Picking up the wine glass, "I respect brother Chen. A glass!" Then he raised his head and drank it. Chen Lang also picked up the wine glass and went to work.

Cao Cao put down his wine glass, glanced at Chen Lang, and said, "Brother Chen, you chose another road. This road is far more difficult than mine!"

Chen Lang smiled and said: "A man is alive, and he must always fight him according to his own wishes. Even if he fails in the end, he is finally worthy of being a man in this world."

Cao Cao looked at Chen Lang with an inexplicable expression in his eyes. He lowered his head, picked up the wine bottle and filled the two with wine, and said: "After the farewell today, I am afraid it will meet again on the battlefield!" Chen Lang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "At that time. , I won't be merciful." Cao Cao laughed, took the wine glass and said: "Mutual each other! It's done!" The two raised their heads and toasted the glass of wine. He smiled at each other and laughed loudly.

Chen Lang sent away Cao Cao, standing at the gate of the city, looking at the back of Cao Cao away, his thoughts abound. Gan Ning couldn't help saying: "That Cao Cao is really a person!" Chen Lang said: "Some people say that Cao Cao is a traitor. But I think Cao Cao is the real hero!" Gan Ning laughed and said, "Brother Lang is wrong. Now, the real heroes have to count Brother Lang!" Chen Lang was taken aback and laughed.

Chunyuqiong rushed to report: "General, when we checked the palace again, we found that the Queen Mother was still in the cold palace." Chen Lang was a little surprised, and immediately understood that Dong Zhuo must have gone in a hurry to come, so he didn't care. He deserves to be under house arrest in Lenggong's Queen Mother. Chen Lang turned on his horse and headed towards the palace, followed by everyone.

Cao Cao and Cao Ren went to their own barracks, and Cao Ren was relieved. Cao Cao smiled and said, "Are you still worried that Brother Chen would be bad for me?" Cao Ren said, "How can people not worry about it!" Cao Cao smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't know him! Then Chen Lang is a real hero. , He won't harm me in this situation anyway!" Then he said with infinite joy: "With Brother Chen as an opponent, I won't be lonely in this life!"

Cao Ren asked puzzledly: "Are the lord and Chen Lang destined to be enemies?"

Cao Cao said: "A mountain can't accommodate two tigers. Although the world is big, it can't accommodate two heroes. Only one of me and Brother Chen can stay." Looking at Cao Ren, "Let's go back. The real troubled times are about to begin!" Raising his horse whip and galloping towards the barracks, Cao Ren quickly followed.

Chen Lang and his party went to the palace. At this time, there are already some pedestrians on the streets of Luoyang, and some shops have reopened for business. Although they are not as prosperous as before the chaos, they have restored a somewhat lively atmosphere. Chen Lang rode on the road, and many people bowed and saluted him, full of gratitude.

Chen Lang and his party went straight to the palace. At this time the palace was under the control of the Imperial Forest Army, and the officers and soldiers who held the door saw Chen Lang coming, and quickly opened the palace door.

Chen Lang came to the palace of the Queen Mother He under house arrest. Empress He and several trusted eunuchs and maids were trembling. When they saw Chen Lang coming, they were surprised and couldn't help but cried out, "General!"

Chen Lang walked to the back of Mrs. He, clasped his fists and said: "The mother is frightened." The Queen Mother asked worriedly: "General, what's the situation outside? The sound of turmoil the other day really scared my palace. These days Why did it calm down again? Was the soldier and horse the general's?"

Chen Lang gave a rough overview of the entire battle. Empress He heard that Chen Lang had forced the allied forces to retreat, she couldn't help being very annoyed, and asked, "You, why are you..." Then she realized that there were eunuchs and palace ladies nearby, so she rushed to them; "You all go down, this palace has something to say. Said to the general." Several eunuchs and palace ladies responded, stepped back, and closed the door.

Empress Dowager He couldn't help asking: "Didn't the general want to help the Han room? Why did you repel the coalition forces? Are you not serving for Dong Thie again?"

"I originally wanted to unite the coalition forces. But my people found that the coalition forces burned, killed, looted, and did no evil. Many villages and towns where they passed were in ruins, and their behavior was more brutal than the Xiliang army. If they were let them Entering Luoyang, the entire Luoyang will be reduced to ruins. I don't want to know what kind of situation the empress will be in at that time." The Queen Mother couldn't help but pale. Then he apologized: "Don't blame the general, I blamed the general by mistake."

Chen Lang smiled, "Niang Niang and I don't have to see each other like this."

The Queen Mother's heart was shaken, her beautiful eyes looked at Chen Lang, revealing boundless love in spring. Said: "Why don't the general stay here tonight. This palace wants to have a good drink with the general." Chen Lang's heart was shaken, thinking of the coquettish energy of Queen Mother He couldn't help but move his index finger.

...

Early the next morning, Chen Lang woke up. The morning sun shines through the windows and spills into the cold palace. There was a mess in the cold palace. The palace dress was thrown on the screen not far away, and the pink bellyband of the Queen Mother hung on the hanger next to it, and the profanity trousers were thrown at the foot of the bed; the Queen Mother was lying on Chen Lang. In his arms, he was still immersed in his dreamland, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his face was full of love, probably still dreaming.

Chen Lang couldn't help but recall the madness of last night, and couldn't help but feel endless aftertaste. Regardless of whether the Queen Mother is the mother of a country, her coquettishness is really unimaginable and makes people want to stop.

There was a sudden noise outside the door. The Queen Mother, who was sleeping, woke up. At this moment, the door of the room slammed open. Empress Dowager He was startled and looked at Chen Lang in a panic.

A person strode to the back of the screen, armor cloak, beautiful, full of anger, it was Dong Yuan, a famous female general in the Xiliang army.

Chen Lang said unhappily, "I said what did you come here for?"

Dong Yuan glanced at the trembling Empress He in Chen Lang's arms, then stared and shouted: "You actually fooled with this woman behind my back!"

The Queen Mother said boldly: "Who are you? How dare, how dare to be so bold!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "She's Dong Yuan, the daughter of the Taishi." Empress He was taken aback and didn't dare to speak any more.

Dong Yuan ignored the Queen Mother, strode up and lifted the quilt. The two naked people were immediately exposed to the air. Queen Mother He was so scared that she curled up into a ball, Chen Lang quickly pulled the quilt over to cover the vitals, and said angrily: "Yuanyuan, why are you crazy?"
