The strongest villain in the heavens

Chapter 40 Lu Bu Kills Ding Yuan
"Haha, Meng De, Ben Chu, you are worthy of being my good generals, but you managed to put down the mighty Yellow Turban Rebellion in less than two months!"

Seeing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, got off his horse and strode forward.

Seeing this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao dismounted immediately, bowed their hands and saluted: "It is all thanks to Grand Master Dong Hongfu that we were able to put down the rebellion so quickly!"

After Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, he was dissatisfied with the status quo, so he used Han Xiandi Liu Xie to confer himself the position of grand master, one of the three princes.

Hearing that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao flattered him so much, Dong Zhuo laughed even more. He didn't care at all whether the relationship between the two was false or false.

Now he has an army of 20 from Xiliang sitting in Luoyang, which is enough to suppress everything.

However, 3 horses is not a small number, and he will not let it go.

But he didn't say it bluntly, but looked at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, and ordered: "Your Majesty, Meng De and Ben Chu have been exhausted, let them go back to rest for a while, and then we will reward them tomorrow for meritorious deeds!"

"Okay...Okay, everything is according to Grand Master Dong's words!" The young Han Xiandi said submissively.

Seeing this, all civil and military officials sighed, but because of Dong Zhuo's fierce power, they dared not complain.

However, Mu Lin, the emperor's teacher next to Cao Cao, seemed to be ignored by everyone at this moment, and no one mentioned it.

Mu Lin naturally knew why, he had a close relationship with Dong Zhuo in the past, civil and military officials disdained to associate with him, and Dong Zhuo... Thinking of this, Mu Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that after two months of his absence, Dong Zhuo seems to have swollen a lot...

……

When Mu Lin returned to the Emperor's Mansion, he immediately called the old housekeeper and asked him what major events had happened in Luoyang in the past two months.

The old housekeeper came one by one immediately.

"Li Ru, a think tank under Dong Zhuo's tent, poisoned Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, and supported Liu Xie, the emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty!"

"Lü Bu led an army of [-] to attack Xiang Tian of Chu State. Xiang Tian was forced to hide in Jingzhou and dare not act rashly!"

"Dong Zhuo was transferred back to Lu Bu, and ordered the old general Huang Fusong to take over the army and continue to confront Xiang Tian of Chu!"

"The civil and military officials are plotting secretly to deal with Dong Zhuo!"

……

After hearing the news, Mu Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Dong Zhuo, he is indeed a hero who has been in Xiliang for decades, and he really has some tricks!"

Suddenly, the old housekeeper looked at Mu Lin, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Mu Lin chuckled lightly and said, "You may as well speak up if you have something to say!"

The old housekeeper nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, as far as I know, Dong Zhuo seems to have listened to what his subordinates said, and he is even more dissatisfied with you. Now he is trying his best to lobby Lu Bu, the number one general in the world. I'm afraid he wants to harm you, my lord." !"

Hearing this, Mu Lin took it for granted, "It's natural, Dong Zhuo has now controlled the entire Luoyang, and I'm the only one who will pose a threat to him, so he naturally can't rest assured!"

Although he was no match for the 20 Xiliang army, Dong Zhuo would have absolutely no power to resist if he used some means of assassination and sneak attack.

After all, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to form an army of 20 troops to protect himself all the time!

Presumably this is also the reason why Dong Zhuo wanted to lobby Lu Bu wholeheartedly!

……

"Cao Cao, the captain of the cavalry, played an important role in pacifying the Yellow Turban. Now he has a reward of [-] taels. He is named 'Chen Liuhou' and the land of the three counties, hereby!"

"Yuan Shao, the commander of the Forbidden Army, has made great contributions in pacifying the Yellow Turban. Now he has a reward of 3000 taels. He has been named 'Prefect of Bohai Sea'. He will take office immediately. I respect you!"

The two rewards shocked everyone.

This is not a reward, it is clearly to seize military power!

The eyes of civil and military officials subconsciously looked at Dong Zhuo, but they saw him standing there with no expression on his face, and there was nothing unusual about him.

That's right, the rewards for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were all his decisions. He sent them to other places, and then took the opportunity to control the [-] soldiers and horses in their hands into his own hands.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had extremely ugly expressions on their faces, but the imperial decree had been issued, and they could only kneel down to accept the decree: "Thank you, Lord Long En!"

But from the white fingers of the two, it is not difficult to see that their hearts are not as calm as they appear!

"Dong Zhuo, you old man, you dare to persecute His Majesty, you deserve death!"

Others are afraid of Dong Zhuo, but Ding Yuan is not afraid, because his adopted son has already returned to Luoyang, just outside the main hall.

Although he didn't dare to let Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo, he was not afraid at all.

"Humph!"

Dong Zhuo gave Ding Yuan a cold look, ignored him, turned his head and left.

As long as he persuades Lu Bu another day, he will definitely make Ding Yuan look good.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was ignoring him, Ding Yuan blushed with anger, but he didn't dare to fall out with Dong Zhuo, even if the two of them were in the same situation now, he wanted to get rid of each other quickly...

……

"Damn old Dong thief, how dare you bully me like this!" Back at the mansion, Cao Cao slammed the imperial decree on the ground, his face flushed with anger, and roared angrily.

"My lord, isn't it good to be a marquis? Over the years, there are only a handful of big men who can be a marquis. This is a great honor!" Dian Wei scratched his head, puzzled.

Hearing this, Cao Cao froze in place and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain.

Indeed, being named a Marquis represents the emperor's love, and it is a supreme honor. Cao Cao would be extremely happy if he was named a Marquis in a peaceful and prosperous age.

But now, in troubled times, what's the use of being a Marquis?Even the emperor has become a puppet!
In contrast, the general who holds real power is even more exciting, because in troubled times, military power represents everything.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being upset, and said in a deep voice, "Go out first, I'll stay by myself for a while!"

"Oh, I see!" Seeing that Cao Cao was in a bad mood, Dian Wei responded immediately although he didn't know what was going on.

"Report, Lord Situ, Wang Yun, sent someone to send an invitation card, and invite you to have a talk at your lord's house!"

At this moment, someone came to report and handed a gilded invitation to Cao Cao.

"Situ Wangyun? I don't have any contact with him. Now he invited me to meet at my house. Why?" After accepting the invitation, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

Could it be...

Suddenly, Cao Cao's mind flashed, and a crazy and bold idea appeared in his mind.

"Tell the visitor, I will definitely go there at noon tomorrow!" Cao Cao held back the agitation in his heart and said in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

The servant was killed, and quickly retreated, and told the visitor Cao Cao's decision.

……

Dong Zhuo didn't know all this, but he was also extremely happy!
Half a month ago, he transferred Lu Bu back to Luoyang, promised to make great profits, and continued to lobby.Today, Lu Bu finally agreed to betray Ding Yuan and return to his account.

Of course, the price he paid for this was not small, one was about to become a demon, the Chituma whose strength was comparable to the peak of Houtian Realm, plus Jin Wanliang and the position of General.

The position of the general and the golden Wanliang are nothing, but the red rabbit horse at the pinnacle of the Houtian realm made him extremely heartbroken.

That is the only peerless BMW in the world. The general generals in the army are not even its opponents!
However, being able to exchange the red rabbit horse for the allegiance of Lu Bu, the world's number one general, is worth the money...
