Three Kingdoms: God of Swallowing

"Yes, father-in-law." Ye Tian cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Here, Ye Tian, ​​whose name is Xiaoyao, is new to your land, and please take care of me."

"Everyone, please sit down, the banquet is about to begin." Dong Zhuo smiled mysteriously, and took a deep look at Ye Tian. As soon as the words came out, the hall immediately fell silent.

It has to be said that these officials are still quite afraid of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo has a brutal personality, and all the officials are a bit subservient, and it is unexpected that he will do something frightening.

They still remembered that many officials in the DPRK were invited by Dong Zhuo to a banquet in the past.The officials were all baffled as to what kind of medicine was in Dong Zhuo's gourd.At the banquet, Dong Zhuo was in high spirits, calling everyone not to be scruples, and drinking to their heart's content.After drinking for three rounds, Dong Zhuo got up suddenly and said mysteriously to the people present: "In order to cheer everyone up, I will present a wonderful program for you, please enjoy!" After speaking, he clapped his hands and laughed wildly.Suddenly, the entire banquet became a chilling execution ground.Dong Zhuo led the hundreds of northern rebels who had lured them into the center of the meeting place, and first ordered the soldiers to cut off their tongues, and then some had their hands and feet cut off, and some had their eyes gouged out.The cruel methods made all the officials and soldiers present horrified, and the chopsticks in the hands of many guests were so frightened that they fell to the ground.Dong Zhuo, however, acted as if nothing had happened, and still drank freely, with a smug look on his face.On another occasion, Dong Zhuo wrapped hundreds of captured uprising soldiers with cloth strips, stood them upside down, poured ointment on them, and set them on fire to burn them alive. It was extremely cruel.

Chapter 16

All the officials just hope that nothing big will happen today.

The banquet started, and the entire Dong Mansion was full of singing and dancing, and the officials were drinking and laughing at each other. These officials were tacitly aware that most of their enthusiasm was just for Dong Taishi to see. Attending Dong Zhuo's banquet was actually the most terrifying event. One thing, there are so many souls buried in this hall, and they don't even want to stay here any longer.However, due to Grand Master Dong's power, they could only act as if nothing had happened. It would be bad if Boss Dong caught him.

Ye Tian drank a lot, most of which were poured by others, but with true energy in his body, he would not refuse anyone who came.

After drinking for three rounds, Dong Zhuo took a look at everyone present, and said firstly, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

As soon as Grand Master Dong opened his golden mouth, no one would dare to speak, so the entire banquet hall fell silent instantly as if it had been agreed.

"I think back then, after the old man occupied Luoyang, he divided up the kings and rewarded the three armies. I didn't expect them to be ungrateful, and now they are united to attack me, saying that I am perverted and brutal. , Yuzhou Inspector Kong Ni, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, and Jinbei Minister Bao Xin formed the Kwantung Army , wanting to march westward in one fell swoop and capture Luoyang. These ungrateful villains are really hateful. Now that the Kwantung Army is about to approach the city, what good strategy do you guys have?"

You ministers have long heard the news of the Kwantung Army. This force aims to capture Luoyang and try to overthrow Dong Taishi.

Great Minister Yan Chang bowed and said, "Return to Grand Master: According to my humble opinion, the Kwantung Army may not really storm Luoyang City when they come this time. They are just trying to test Grand Master."

Dong Fangzhuo smiled and said, "How can you see that?"

"Although the Kwantung Army is huge in number and ferocious, the combination of soldiers is too complicated. They belong to different forces. When they go to the battlefield, they are scattered, and they don't have much combat power at all." Yan Chang said: "Besides, Luoyang The city is a hundred-year-old city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the city walls are impenetrable, but it may not be that easy for them to break through."

"Grand Master, Yuan Shao belongs to a group of mobs. If you give the last general [-] soldiers, you will definitely kill them all!" Lu Bu also stood up at this moment. He has lived in the Dong Mansion for so long, and he should have made contributions by himself. it's time.

"Hehe, don't worry about Fengxian, there will be time for you to show your skills in the future." Dong Zhuo pressed his hand and signaled Lu Bu to step aside, then turned his eyes to Ye Tian and asked, "I don't know what Xiaoyao can teach you?"

"Back to Grand Master: I don't dare to see the teaching." Ye Tian bowed and replied: "The Grand Master is smart, far-sighted, and sees things a hundred times better than the lower officials. After thinking about it, the lower officials have the benefits of fighting. The benefits of harmony, good life in the heart, will never let you down. Please forgive me for being a dull official. However, the grand master is thoughtful, thoughtful, and has exhaustive strategies. I am afraid that the things that the adults think of are already in the grand master's prediction Middle. No matter how high-level the strategies that the subordinates think of, they cannot be higher than the instructions of the grand master. The subordinates only need to follow the orders of the grand master to do things. No matter what the grand master says, the subordinates will be determined and go forward to do it. In the end, it will be auspicious ,May all go well with you."

When all the officials heard this, they all admired him very much, and thought to themselves: No one in the Manchu Dynasty is as capable of being an official as this guy.This person is very good at flattering, thinking in his heart whether he should be worshiped as a teacher.

Dong Zhuo chuckled, and said: "The old man is asking you to think up your mind, not to listen to your praises."

Having said that, Grand Master Dong was very happy in his heart. He originally planned to let Ye Tian go to prison for a few years, but after hearing these words, he immediately dismissed his previous thoughts. This kid is really interesting. For my own appetite, the words are all in my heart.

Ye Tian arched his hands, and continued: "Teacher Mingjian: This is not a praise, but it is indeed the truth. I heard the grand master just now, and I have been thinking for a long time, thinking about how to deal with it. If I have to use troops, I will How to deploy troops and generals is the only way to win. It is always necessary to let the grand master not worry about it. But after thinking about it, the grand master is too wise, and the subordinates are too pussy. We have to worry about it. The strategy is not as good as the grand master's casual idea. The grand master is the crape myrtle star descending from the sky, and the emperor's purple energy is added to his body. Naturally, it is not something ordinary people like the lower official can match. Therefore, the lower official thought, As long as the grand master orders it, it must be good. Even if you adults don’t understand it for a while, as long as you work hard, you will finally understand it.”

After hearing this, all the officials secretly scolded him for being shameless, flattering everyone in public, and doing everything he could, but they had no choice but to follow suit.

Cai Yan glanced at Ye Tian carefully, and found that he couldn't see through this kid. Is this still his son-in-law?

Hearing Ye Tian's good words, Dong Zhuo laughed on the spot. He glanced at the crowd and said, "The Kwantung Army is coming in menacingly, with strong soldiers and strong horses. Fighting with them is the best strategy, so I plan to give up Luoyang, old man. Move the capital to Chang'an."

"Move the capital?" Li Su, Dong Zhuo's counselor, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Grand Master, if the capital is moved to Chang'an, what about Luoyang City? It's impossible to hand it over to Yuan Shao!"

"Hmph! This old man is not so generous!" Dong Zhuo sneered, "Leaving them an empty city would be cheaper than those ungrateful villains!"

Hearing what Dong Zhuo said, all the non-commissioned officers were as silent as a cicada.

What is an empty city?

No one, no food, no property... Just like the three-all policy implemented by Japan invading China-kill all, burn all and loot all.

All the officials were pondering over the meaning of the word 'empty city', and when they gradually understood, everyone's expressions changed - Luoyang City!It's really going to change!

Cai Yong figured it out, this old man actually wanted to play the "empty city trick", he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he just wanted to speak, but suddenly found that he couldn't speak, he couldn't help but looked at Ye Tian with a face full of shock , found that he smiled at himself, then shook his head again, and knew that it must be the fault of his son-in-law.

He glared at Ye Tian a few times, but what he got in exchange was only his son-in-law shaking his head.

"Grand Master, I foolishly thought that the capital should not be moved. Moving the capital to Chang'an not only destroys one's own prestige, but also increases the ambition of others, and also wastes people's money. This is a big taboo."

"Yes, Grand Master, if the capital is moved to Chang'an, what about the people in Luoyang? Don't they just let them go?"

……

"Huang Wan, Yang Biao, Wu Qiong, Zhou Yu, don't you understand what this old man said? I want to move to the west. As for the people here..." Dong Zhuo's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "I don't care if they live or die. thing?"

..

Chapter 17

"Hehe, those unscrupulous people, who speak ill of the old man all day long, drive me to Chang'an without leaving anything, and then take all the wealth of Luoyang under their own hands, and then burn down the city of Luoyang. The old man has nothing left. Don't leave it to those rebellious officials and thieves." Dong Zhuo smiled sinisterly, and then continued: "Luoyang is a fertile land, I don't believe that those thieves won't fight for this land, aren't they allies? I left, look Whether they want allies or land, it is best to fight to the death, so that people will be happy. Besides, Chang'an is our base camp, and I don't believe that they dare to come to Chang'an to play wild."

After hearing Dong Zhuo's cold-blooded and ruthless words, Huang Wan and the others became even more anxious, and stepped forward to remonstrate: "Grand Master, you can't do this, how many innocent people will be killed."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "You don't need to say any more, the old man has made up his mind, and we will leave on time in three days."

"Think twice, Grand Master, you can't move westward. The war is in chaos, and the world is already worse than death at dawn. Isn't it worse for the grand master to do this?" The four knelt down one after another, their hearts full of grief and indignation.

"Okay, I didn't listen to what the old man said, come here, drag Huang Wan and Yang Biao out for me, remove all duties, and send them back to my hometown."

"Grand Master, think twice, Grand Master..." Huang Wan and Yang Biao were dragged down like this.

"Wu Qiong, Zhou Yan, do you know why the old man wants you two to stay?" Dong Zhuo looked at the two kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Go back to the Grand Master, I don't know the lower officials."

"Are you still going to oppose the old man's decision to move west?" Dong Zhuo twirled his beard, narrowed his eyes, and flashed a cold light.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, Ye Tian knew something was wrong. The old guy was afraid he was going to kill someone, but he didn't come out to stop him. In his own words: None of my business.

Ye Tian is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself, so he has no time to care about the lives of others.

"Grand Master, moving to the west will hurt the peace of heaven. If you do this, you will become a sinner through the ages." The two of them burst into tears and kept kowtowing to Dong Zhuo. The ground was shaken by them, and the blood on their foreheads It flowed all over the ground, and everyone couldn't bear to see it.

"Wu Qiong, Zhou Wei, when you recommended Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others, the old man took your opinion, but what happened? Now they are going to attack the old man instead. Damn you, come and drag them down. Chopped."

The rest of the officials were all terrified, and they all stood in place and bowed their bodies not daring to make a sound.

"Xiaoyao, what do you think of the old man's way to move west?" Dong Zhuo looked at Ye Tian, ​​wanting to hear what this eloquent young man had to say.

"Return to the Grand Master: The westward move is actually feasible. The main forces of the Grand Master are gathered in Chang'an. Moving the capital to Chang'an will definitely stabilize your rule. It's not a problem to leave an empty city for those rebellious officials and thieves, but , I think the Grand Master should choose a compromise." Ye Tian said calmly.

"Oh? Let's hear it!" Dong Zhuo laughed.

"It's a long way to move westward. If all the people in Luoyang City are driven into Chang'an, there will be a lot of casualties in the end. Therefore, the lower officials suggested: There is no need to drive all the people back to Chang'an. You only need to pick some young adults and young women. Leaving the remaining old people and children to the Dongguan Army will also increase their burden in a disguised form, which will also weaken the power of the bandit party to a certain extent. In addition, it is best not to burn Luoyang City. The value of this ancient city is not great. Little, Grand Master is someone who wants to compete for the world, sooner or later Luoyang City will be in your pocket, now that it is burned, isn't it destroying your own wealth, Grand Master?"

"Okay, okay, well said, I'll do as you say?" Dong Zhuo felt that among so many ministers, this kid had the most beautiful words, and he had to be promoted.

All the ministers, seeing that Ye Tian solved the big problem of moving westward with a few words, couldn't help secretly admiring, this kid can really talk.
