39, on stage and off stage(1/2)

"I wish the prime minister and the lord will be blessed with great blessings!"

The civil and military officials present also raised their glasses and respected Dong Zhuo. After the golden cup in Dong Zhuo's hand approached his lips, they all drank it all, revealing the bottom of the glass, praising the good wine.

After Guo Si poured the fragrant wine into his throat, he used the alcohol to wink at Li Jue beside him.

Nowadays, Niu Fu, the generals in the Liangzhou group, are still guarding Hedong, and Dong Yue and Fan Chou are all following Dong Zhuo's leader. Duan Wei's attitude is ambiguous, and only Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji are working together. Today's military parade horses are all snatched away by these newcomers from Bingzhou. What's the point? If this continues, I'm afraid that the Bingzhou people will be in turn commanding the old men in Liangzhou next time.

Li Jie's face was as usual, but the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose wings were slightly shaking, and obviously he had already moved. As for Zhang Ji, Guo Si only glanced at him. Seeing that he had no strange colors, he thought he had agreed. So he took advantage of the alcohol and suddenly stood up, saluting like Dong Zhuo in the upper head and said:

"The Prime Minister, today's review is great, and we are willing to play a song of joy in the army for the Prime Minister!"

Dong Zhuo did not expect Guo Si to suddenly get up and ask for his orders. After hearing that he wanted to play a military music for everyone, he immediately stroked his beard and smiled at the crowd:

"Ado is brave and brave, and always follows me to fight. He is a famous warrior in our army. He only knows that he is good at bows and horses, but he also knows the music. It's okay, let everyone here see your skills today!"

When Guo Si heard Dong Zhuo praise his bravery in front of everyone, he immediately looked happy. With a proud look, the scar on his face trembled a few times. After receiving Dong Zhuo's promise, he agreed loudly, turned around and stepped down, and went to prepare.

Not long after, a sturdy horseman appeared from the west of the empty field and came to the front of the general's platform. The infantry all held swords and shields, while the cavalry were all of the same colored cavalry spears, and the cavalry were covered with armor. The knights were covered with black armor, and half of the war horses were covered with black paint armor. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud sweeping with the wind.

The black-armored cavalry leader who shook his martial arts was Guo Si.

Seeing Guo Si appearing so deliberately, a light flashed in Li Ru's eyes. He grinned and said with a smile:

"Is this Captain Guo going to play Wanwu?"

Jia Xu, who was also sitting in the lower head, was moved when he heard this. Li Ru's words were puns. Ten thousand dances were dances played by both civil and military personnel, not ordinary military music. First, it was a martial dance, the dancer held a sword weapon in his hand, and then there was a literary dance, and the dancer held bird feathers and musical instruments in his hand.

On the surface, the meaning of this sentence seemed to be a hint of ridicule, ridiculing Guo Si, a martial artist. Compared with the Bingzhou people, he lost his original style of an old man in the army.

The deeper meaning is more like beating other civil servants present. Even Guo Si, a martial artist, knows that he expressed his loyalty to Prime Minister Dong Zhuo on this important occasion. Should other civil servants in the court who were also regarded as guests of honor and were highly regarded as generals, also express their opinions?

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but secretly glance at Dong Zhuo in the upper hand. He saw that Dong Zhuo's face was as normal and did not show any strange expression to Li Ru's words.

Jia Xu suddenly realized that this was Li Ru's own initiative and planning for the prime minister. Now that Dong Zhuo has successfully entered the court, Li Ru's power has also increased, but at the same time, the competition with other civil and bureaucrats around him is also increasing.

Li Ru wanted to let Dong Zhuo go further, and at the same time he was constantly consolidating his position as the chief think tank in Dong Zhuo's heart. Not only did he be hostile to himself who was newly recruited into Dong Zhuo's mansion, but he also used both soft and hard to other court officials, constantly striking indirectly.

Jia Xu was deeply in the city and had already thought about Li Ru's heart, but he still didn't move on the surface. Instead, Tian Jing beside him heard Li Ru's words and quickly sang and said:

"Simple and simple, and you will dance thousands of times, and the sun is in front of you,

The huge man is a dance in the public courtyard. It is as powerful as a tiger, holding a bridle like a group,

Holding a turtle in the left hand, holding a pi in the right hand, a magnificent like a gust, and the public said that it is a gust of xi.

There are hazels in the mountain, and there are lings in the sky. Who thinks about the clouds? Western beauty,

That beauty is the man of the West.”

A poem "Jian Xi" in the national style is easy to recite, and coupled with the ups and downs displayed by Tian Jing's deliberate modification, although some of the generals present cannot understand it, the poem is bright and concise, and immediately sets off the atmosphere in the table.

While sitting in the same seat, Wu Qiong looked at Zhou Li, who was sitting in An, and his expression changed slightly. He believed that Zhou Li could hear what Li Ru meant just now, which was exactly what he was worried about.

Zhou Liyan's father was Zhou Shen, and he had a friendship with Dong Zhuo as a general in the army. Zhou Liyan himself was also a native of Wuwei and was one of the rare civil servants in Liangzhou in the court.

At first, they agreed to help Dong Zhuo enter the court because the eunuchs and relatives fought for power and made the court messy. Therefore, they had to rely on the imperial edict to enter the capital, but Dong Zhuo, who had the troops in his hands, came to preside over the crisis. However, as they got along over time, Wu Qiong gradually discovered that Dong Zhuo's heart did not seem to be as he said to him, "I, Huo Shi" was just to restore the decline and dilemma of the Han Empire.

Especially the signs of Li Ru around him were even more obvious. Wanwu was not an ordinary military music. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this was a grand music and dance in the court, and it was not something that ordinary ministers could perform.

In the past, Confucius felt the rituals and music were broken when he saw Ji's "eight robes dancing in the court", and said, "It's tolerant, but who is not tolerant." Today, Li Ru was nakedly speaking to test them, and none of the people present felt something was wrong.

Wu Qiong was angry, but because Dong Zhuo did not make a statement in person, and Li Ru's casual words, he suppressed his inner excitement and forced himself to wait and see what happened.

Military dance has existed since ancient times. In ancient times, the "Jingtian Family Music" danced with swords and swords, and the music of King Wu defeated Zhou, and the music of "Dawu" that won the victory and praise, and then Emperor Wu of Han wrote the 18 songs of the army, which were mixed with praises to boost morale.

These large-scale military music are all large in scale, and many of them are retained in the military martial music. The court officials who have seen the world naturally look down on Guo Si's military dances that are temporarily played. Fortunately, Guo Si's charming eyes were not for the court officials and others.

Infantry formed a large formation, attacked the shield with swords and sounded together. During the performance, Guo Si led the cavalry back and forth to the stage, showing the bravery and riding skills that Liangzhou soldiers were proud of.

Finally, when everyone on the stage thought that the performance was about to end, Guo Si took many horsemen to the stage and shouted:

"The lord is wise and brave, and he defeated the Yellow Turbans in the east, quelled the Qiang Rebellion in the west, drove out the Baibo bandits, and investigated the chaos in Luoyang. Although we are not qualified, we are lucky to be at the tail of the horse and are easy to be skilled. The country has no trouble. We are willing to hold the sword to protect our wings and do what we do when we are in trouble. We are willing to lead our teachers to the lord to fight for our lord's kindness to repay our lord's kindness!"

At this time, the infantry behind Guo Si also began to sing loudly and said:

"Makino Yangyang, Tanche is brilliant, Siqi Peng Peng.

Wei Shi Shangfu, Shi Wei Yingyang.

King Wu of Liang attacked the Great Shang Dynasty and met with Qingming Festival."

This is a poem "The Ming Dynasty" in the Book of Songs, which praises the story of Jiang Shang Muye's battle and the defeat of the enemy. It is not only echoing the previous expression of loyalty and the intention of serving death, but also comparing Dong Zhuo to Jiang Taigong who assisted the emperor and pacified the world.

Although the performance was rough, it was moving with emotion. Dong Zhuo on the high platform couldn't help but change his color, as if Guo Si and others were following him in battles, fighting thousands of miles, traveling day and night, galloping to Luo. He raised the golden cup, drank a cup, looked around the people in the seat, and laughed loudly:

"Guo Aduo, I have been fighting with me for many years and have led to the army. Every war is the first, and I have helped a lot. I am actually a warrior beside me!"

With Dong Zhuo's open praise, facing Guo Si's deliberate expression of loyalty, who among the civil and military officials here dared to laugh at his little thoughts and rudeness. They all agreed with Dong Zhuo's intentions and loudly praised Guo Si's bravery and loyalty, and celebrated Dong Zhuo's wise and magical martial arts. Only with such a loyal warrior under their command were there.

So, when Guo Si came back to the stage, everyone present toasted him one after another. After Guo Si and Li Jue looked at each other, they also generously toasted their colleagues. There was a huge amount of praise from the captain.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Bu, who was still in the focus of everyone's sight, became a foil, watching them, the old men in the Liangzhou army praised their military achievements.

Lu Bu was also a proud and arrogant person. In his opinion, today Dong Zhuo was carefully selected by his elite troops to show his Bingzhou troops in front of everyone. However, Guo Si was not as brave as himself, and his troops were not as good as his elite troops. He ignored his face and used such clumsy means of showing loyalty and favor, and snatched the limelight from the Bingzhou troops. This was already very obvious in his intention to target himself.

Could it be that if the soldiers are not as good as their elite, showing off their own bravery and loyalty, they can truly invite Dong Zhuo's reverence and favor.

After Guo Si sat down, Lu Bu couldn't stand it, and he stood up again and asked Dong Zhuo to order:

"The Prime Minister and Bu also have several powerful soldiers under his command. He followed Bu to the north of Bingzhou to expel the Xianbei and the south of the Xiongnu. They have long admired the power of the Prime Minister. Since the Chief Guo is in front of the martial arts today, Bu asked for orders and let them appear to perform martial arts for you to help you drink!"

At this time, Dong Zhuo also heard the faint meaning of Lu Bu's words. He originally wanted to refuse Lu Bu's request, but then he thought that since Guo Si had already allowed him to perform martial arts today, it disrupted the original plan and steps of the military parade of the military. If Lu Bu was not allowed to be cleared, it would give Xinzeng a feeling of personality to the Bingzhou people under his command.

He simply waved his hand and Dong Zhuo agreed again:

"Okay, I am not familiar with the generals and officials under Fengxian's command. Today I happened to see their martial spirit!"

"promise!"

After Lu Bu received Dong Zhuo's approval, his face also showed a smile. He deliberately or unintentionally glanced at Guo Si, who was proud of him in the seat, and then stepped down to make arrangements.

"I heard a lot of heroes in the land for a long time. You can follow me and come and drink again!"

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu's figure stepping down, then looked at the civil and military officials around him, and said loudly that many people on the seat were already slightly drunk at this time, but when they saw Dong Zhuo raise their glasses, they all rushed to raise their wine bottles and toast Dong Zhuo for a long time.

After a while, Lu Bu had already taken his four horses, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hao Meng, tossed out like a gust of wind, and just from the speed, he steadily overwhelmed Guo Si's actions when he appeared.

Lu Bu was wearing a battle helmet on his head, a crimson battle robe, a armor, and a belt on his waist. In addition, he was originally a tall and majestic person. In terms of momentum, he immediately won a few points compared to Guo Si who was wearing black armor.

Lu Bu leaped on his horse and held a halberd. Some of the four generals behind him held swords, some held spears, some held bows and arrows, and some used long scepters. With the horse halberd in Lu Bu's hand, five weapons, and five knights, each showing his methods, like a storm, driving back and forth, expressing his courage vividly and exquisitely.

Among them, the two weapons, horse halberd and horse snail, are both very skillful horse-growing weapons. The halberd in Lu Bu's hand is larger and longer than the horse halberd in the army. It has both straight blades and horizontal blades, and is in the shape of a "bu" character, and has various uses such as hooks, pecks, stabs, and cutting. Its killing ability is better than that of spears and spears. However, without corresponding superb skills, this powerful cold weapon will not be able to exert its own power.

The horse scepter is a cavalry spear that is 18 feet long and is also a horse sap from the Han Dynasty. This kind of weapon is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has high technical requirements for the user. When driving the horse, using a scoop to strike left and right, in addition to having high requirements for the user's arm strength, the user's grasp of balance and strength is also crucial. Otherwise, even people born with divine power will be difficult to control using this scoop and will only make things difficult.

Many of the people here have seen Lu Bu's abilities, and they are mentally prepared for his immediate mighty power. Therefore, after watching for a while, Dong Zhuo suddenly asked:

"Who is that person who uses horse slaughter?"

Li Ru was the one who was most familiar with the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou on the stage. He immediately smiled and continued:

"The Prime Minister, this is Cheng Lian, under General Lu Zhonglang. He is good at using Ma Zi and is a famous general in the Bingzhou army. It is said that when General Lu Zhonglang was in the battle, this person was a member of the follower!"

"Are you really a warrior who is in the same place!"

Dong Zhuo himself is also a powerful general in the army who has two belts and two horns, and can shoot left and right. He also has a sense of mutual appreciation for such generals with extraordinary martial arts.

Just as he was sighing, Li Ru suddenly continued:

"In fact, there are not only such warriors in the Biandi land. I heard that there are such warriors in General Xu Zhonglang."

"oh?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Lu Bu and the other two driving back and forth on the open space in front of the stage, showing admiration. At this time, he suddenly heard Li Ru talking about such warriors in Xu Rong's army, and he was immediately surprised.

Li Ru smiled and continued to add:

"It is said that this person is also good at using spears and has extraordinary strength. He can use fifty kilograms of iron cone. In this battle in Hedong, this person attacked the bandit's nest and made his first contribution. The name of this person is on the good news of General Niu Zhonglang!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up. Although he was in his fifty years and no longer fought to kill the enemy in person, as a once famous general in the army, his preference for powerful generals, BMWs, and weapons was still unabashed. So when he first saw Lu Bu's bravery, he was immediately delighted that he had obtained a powerful general, and he specially presented his mount, Red Rabbit Horse to Lu Bu.

Now, after Li Ru reminded me, I also had some expectations for the warrior under Xu Rong. However, after he entered the court, he had countless memorials and war reports in his hand. In addition, the battles Niu Fu fought in Hedong, he could not achieve the majesty he hoped for. Although he did not have a deep impression of the content on the Good News, he could not remember the names mentioned on the Good News at this time.

So Dong Zhuo turned to look at Xu Rong, who was in the next head, and said to Xu Rong with a smile:

"Is this person as Wen You said?"

When Xu Rong just mentioned that Li Ru took the opportunity to mention Yan Xing, he was also shocked. He was a little disgusted with Li Ru's behavior of cultivating his own military center in disguise.

He is good at fighting for power in battle, but he is short of fighting among his colleagues. He adheres to the principle of being honest in dealing with people and showing off his courage. He is disdainful to imitate Guo Si and Lu Bu's behavior of showing off his bravery.

At the same time, Xu Rong was naturally unhappy about the sudden idea of ​​Li Ru, who was dependent on each other and not discussing with him. What's more, what Li Ru recommended was Yan Xing, who had made him feel afraid of him.

But at this time, Dong Zhuo's eyes were already on him. No matter how unhappy Xu Rong was, he had to admit it and said:

"This person is from Jincheng, with his surname Yan and his courtesy name Yanming. He is indeed brave!"

"Have you ever come to Shanglinyuan together today?"

"Yan Yan was among the soldiers and horses that were reviewed by the headquarters before."

"Oh, haha, that's what I missed and actually missed my warrior in the cold. Hurry up, call him up!"

"promise!"
