Dong Cheng is no stranger to Chu Tianshu and Xie Kun.

Dong Cheng was originally a subordinate of Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.In the original "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was hijacked and went to Chang'an. After Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, his subordinates fell apart and acted on their own.Dong Cheng also brought his subordinates and became a small warlord, but he was a little smarter than others and knew the importance of Han Xiandi.

It is said in the original book that Dong Cheng married his daughter to Liu Xie and was named a nobleman.So Dong Cheng changed from a small warlord to a relative, with further qualifications.

The famous event of the Three Kingdoms related to Dong Cheng is the "Clothing Belt Edict Incident".It is said that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty decided to contact the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty to get rid of Cao Cao because he could not bear Cao Cao's usurpation of power.So he summoned Dong Cheng behind Cao Cao's back, bit his finger and wrote an edict with his own blood, hid it in his belt, and gave it to Dong Cheng.

After Dong Cheng returned home, he couldn't understand it, and then accidentally tore the belt of the imperial gift, only to find the blood book hidden in it.So he contacted various righteous men and organized an operation to assassinate Cao Cao.

The most famous participants in this operation in the original book were Ma Teng and Liu Bei.But in fact, Ma Teng brought his two sons to Xuchang as hostages, and it was impossible for him to actively participate in the assassination of Cao Cao.Liu Bei decided to join this team because he failed to keep a low profile and was frightened by Cao Cao's theory of cooking wine with green plums.But in the original book, it was changed that Liu Bei participated in the anti-Cao operation first, and then he had the later hero of cooking wine with green plums.

Of course, the final result was a failure. Dong Cheng and all those involved in this matter were executed. Even Dong Cheng’s daughter, Dong Guiren, was dragged away from Han Xiandi and killed. Liu Bei not only ran away ahead of schedule, but also deceived Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops!

However, the history books at that time were already skeptical about whether there was a clothes belt edict. In the history books, it was said that Dong Cheng "resigned" and "received" the clothes belt edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, which means that Dong Cheng claimed that he had obtained it. The authenticity of the garment belt edict cannot be verified.

So when he heard that Dong Cheng came to see him, the first thing Chu Tianshu thought of was Yi Dai Zhao.

However, the background of the emergence of Yidai Zhao was that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was hunting outside Xuchang City, and Cao Cao was arrogant and disobedient.And the last time Chu Tianshu and his wife met Liu Xie, although Liu Xie had resentment, he never showed any strong dissatisfaction with the current situation, let alone asking Chu Tianshu and his wife for help.

Why did Dong Cheng come here?

Liu Xie didn't do nothing in Luoyang at the beginning. He also knew that without the army, he would have no right to speak, so he was also trying to win over the generals in the army, and Dong Cheng was one of them.Bringing Dong Cheng's daughter into the palace and ennobling her as a nobleman is an obvious political alliance.

Not long after Liu Xie was sent to Xuchang by the Wei family caravan, Dong Cheng also brought his subordinates to Xuchang, protecting his daughter and Fushou.

Because of the interference of Chu Tianshu and his wife, especially Xie Kun's actions behind the scenes, Dong Cheng did not take the credit for escorting Liu Xie from Chang'an all the way back to Xuchang, so he did not receive a reward from Liehou, nor was he promoted to the rank of general of chariots and cavalry. He was sealed off as a General Guard.

Dong Cheng's appearance is very righteous, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and three long beards, it is easy for people to have a good impression of him.

Being ignored by Chu Tianshu and his wife, they didn't go to the small temple on the top of the mountain to attend the appointment. Dong Cheng didn't show any dissatisfaction, and his attitude towards them was still very respectful.

"Your Highness, General Xie, don't take the liberty to disturb me." Dong Cheng entered the tent alone with a calm expression.

Chu Tianshu asked him to sit down, and asked him to serve wine and food, as if he had met outside the city by chance, and didn't ask him why he came.Dong Cheng had no choice but to speak after the meal: "Your Highness, now that you are rich, have you ever thought about the future? Your Royal Highness' wealth comes from the Han Dynasty, and from Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is in danger, Her Majesty's foundation will also be in danger. .”

Dong Cheng did not hide his position, he tried his best to convince Chu Tianshu and his wife that they would stand in the same camp as him.But Chu Tianshu and his wife obviously couldn't be moved by his simple words, they just listened politely, smiling without saying a word.

After Dong Cheng left, Xie Kun and Chu Tianshu looked at each other.

Chu Tianshu is not good at reading people's hearts, but her intuition is very keen.Xie Kun is the opposite.

"I feel that he is not as eager as he appears, nor is he as dignified as his appearance." Chu Tianshu said.

"He keeps saying that Cao Mengde is not a minister, so he has the same intention? It's just that compared with Cao Mengde, he doesn't have that ability, but he still refuses to accept the reality." Xie Kun snorted coldly.He has been Niu Fu's subordinate from the beginning, Dong Zhuo's accomplice, how can Dong Cheng worry about the country and the people?He married his daughter to Liu Xie and led a team to support Liu Xie. He just wanted to fight for power and profit, and hoarded money, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be one step ahead of him, so he is still unwilling.

According to historical records, when Dong Cheng persuaded the general Wang Zifu, the example he gave was that Lu Buwei became rich only after he had Zi Chu. Now as long as Wang Zifu cooperates with him, he can replicate Lu Buwei's success.What its real purpose is can be seen from this sentence.

"So he just came to test it." Xie Kun concluded, "I want to see who is the enemy and who is the friend."

"In other words, I'm afraid there will be a big show in this field hunting." Chu Tianshu smiled lightly.Usually there are not many opportunities to get close to Cao Cao, but when hunting in the field, Cao Cao will definitely show up in public.And when the time comes, there will be soldiers and horses guarding the princes everywhere, and Dong Cheng's subordinates will also find opportunities to sneak into the field hunting scene and implement some kind of plan.

Cao Cao said that he would unite with Gongsun Zan and the two of them to get rid of Yuan Shao. Dong Cheng might also want to get rid of Cao Cao while hunting in the field and replace him himself.But would Cao Cao really not know about his actions like this?Isn't Dong Cheng worried that they will inform Cao Cao?

Since Cao Cao and Dong Cheng have their own plans, will the other princes be so honest?They came all the way to Xuchang, did they really want to hunt with Cao Cao and the leaders of other forces?

Liu Bei will never be willing to be inferior to others, he will definitely have some kind of action.

Yuan Shao thinks very highly of himself, even Cao Cao doesn't think highly of him, and he will definitely not do nothing.

Gongsun Zan promised to cooperate with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, but will he really keep his promise?

Brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan are Yuan Shao's subordinates in name, but they have already taken advantage of the opportunity of suppressing the rebellion in the south to lead their troops to stand on their own. They never came to Xuchang to see the scenery.

Yuan Shu, as a legitimate son, was overwhelmed by Yuan Shao, the eldest son of a concubine, in terms of reputation and popularity. Would he have no grudges?Will he fight Cao Cao with his brother, or join forces with others to fight Yuan Shao?

Liu Biao——Chu Tianshu could guess the demands of several other forces, but only Liu Biao, she didn't understand what the other party was doing.Xuzhou Tao Qian and Yizhou Liu Yan didn't come directly. What did he want to do here?

What a mess.

Chu Tianshu helped his forehead, Xie Kun smiled and held her in his arms: "Don't worry, leave these to me." As usual, Chu Tianshu took his daughter to attract attention in Xuchang City with a high profile. People are arranged outside the city.

Conspiracy wisdom is certainly powerful, but if you drop ten times at a time, as long as you are prepared and thoughtful in advance, you will not be afraid no matter what you encounter.

The author has something to say: outside, the phone knocked a little bit, first change a little bit, go back and continue.
