But Liu Zhuang...what are his hobbies?
This person seems to be from the Yangqu Guo family, with a neither high nor low status. On weekdays in the barracks, he does nothing but training, training, and training. He seems to have no personal desires - oh, wait, he has two wives, both of whom are very beautiful, and the chief guard is actually a cute girl of sixteen or seventeen years old... So that's it, I understand, I understand.
That night, Liu Zhuang received another invitation. Dong Zhuo once again invited him to a banquet and drinks. Liu Zhuang took Zhao Yun to the banquet. After a few rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo clapped his hands, and sixteen Qiang dancers entered the tent with graceful steps.
The beautiful faces with dark blue hue are full of exotic charm; the heavily made-up looks extremely sexy and alluring; the gorgeous long curly hair, like golden waves, pours from the top of these Qiang women's heads to their slender waists, and two small and cute sheep horns stretch out from the golden waves.
The most exaggerated thing is that the sixteen Qiang women's slender wrists, sexy ankles, tall necks, and small tails are all wearing tight leather collars, and supplemented with silver bells. The dark brown tight leather collars set off the dark blue skin and have a sadistic beauty. The dark blue breasts and the pink cardamom petals are pierced by silver rings and tied with three silver bells. With the slightest movement, beautiful music will be audible.
These sixteen dancers were wearing a red dress as thin as a cicada's wing, six collars and nine bells, which were the only clothes on them. Apart from that, there was nothing else covering them.
After the dance, the enchanting and graceful bodies, the delicate blue skin, and the pink buds were faintly visible under the transparent blood-red clothes, which was more enchanting than being naked.
The sixteen Qiang women showed Liu Zhuang extremely coquettish and revealing charming smiles. Three women sang loudly, and thirteen women surrounded them and danced an extremely lewd and charming dance in front of all the guests.
"These Qiang dancers are the best in Xiliang. I usually like to listen to their singing and dancing to relieve boredom and comfort the soldiers."
Dong Zhuo waved his hand with a lustful look, and with his huge body of more than three meters tall, he hugged the two delicate and beautiful Qiang women as if he was holding a child. Another Qiang woman with a baby face and big breasts held up her breasts with both hands, while the other Qiang woman poured fine liquid into the groove between her breasts, making her breasts into warm and beautiful flesh cups to serve Dong Zhonglang Jiang to drink.
Dong Zhuo grabbed the Qiang woman's horn and used it as a handle without any hesitation. Then he buried his whole face in her chest and drank the wine.
"Every one of them is my dearest, but today, in order to repay Yan Sheng for saving my life, I am willing to give up this dance troupe and give Yan Sheng the pleasure."
After drinking the wine, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Zhuang with a smile. The two Qiang women immediately came to Liu Zhuang. One of them knelt in front of Liu Zhuang, held up her breasts as a meat cup, and looked up at Liu Zhuang with an extremely admiring and longing look, as if she was looking up at her favorite hero, while the other one continued to fill her cup with nectar.
After pouring the wine, the Qiang woman also knelt on the ground, grabbed the iron chain tied around her neck with both hands, and presented the end to Liu Zhuang, asking him to tighten the dog chain around her neck.
Liu Zhuang had seen all kinds of scenes, but this scene was indeed too stimulating. Looking at the waves of wine rippling between the two jade breasts and the Qiang girl tied with a collar and chains, he couldn't help but have disordered breathing and a quickened heartbeat. Zhao Yun, who was standing by, was also ashamed and angry at this lewd scene.
Dong Zhuo smiled as he hugged the two Qiang beauties. Based on his experience, he already felt moved by Liu Zhuang's current state.
"Thank you, General Dong."
Liu Zhuang was so absorbed in the erotic dance of the sixteen Qiang girls that he could not extricate himself. He was even more stimulated by the lewdness and wantonness of the human wine cup that his breathing became heavy. However, this state only lasted for a while. When he saw Zhao Yun, who had a face full of shame and anger, out of the corner of his eye, Liu Zhuang suddenly came to his senses.
He really liked this thing, but bringing his wife with him to the battlefield to enjoy himself was a bit too much. After all, everyone brought their wives and children, so everyone was treated equally, and that's why there was no trouble.
We are at war now. If I bring these 16 dancers back, what will the soldiers of the White Horse Camp think of me? We are training and patrolling hard, and you are dancing and singing in the tent with 16 Qiang girls in your arms?
"But I cannot accept this gift. In this year of great chaos, it is too much, too much."
Now it was Dong Zhuo's turn to be surprised. No way, as far as I know, you don't have any other hobbies except lust. How come you even refuse women now? How can I win you over?
"Strictly speaking, if you are worried about the soldiers mutiny, you can also pick out one or two of these singing girls and give them to the soldiers with outstanding military achievements to spend the night, or even directly grant them marriage, to encourage them to fight bravely and fight hard on the battlefield in order to win more rewards and more beautiful women. Can a few singing girls be considered human beings?"
Dong Zhuo hurried to explain.
"General Dongzhong, my soldiers and I all have wives."
Liu Zhuang gave a second rejection in a concise and to the point manner. Seeing Liu Zhuang's rejection, Zhao Yun's tense face and body finally relaxed, and he felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Then, what does Yan Sheng like? You set fire to the camp at night and saved me from disaster. Zhuo must repay you for this kindness."
Seeing that the dancer Liu Zhuang was determined not to accept, Dong Zhuo had no choice but to give up and ask in person.
"No need. It is my duty to rescue General Dong Zhonglang. How can I ask for repayment?"
After listening to Liu Zhuang's words, Dong Zhuo suddenly understood. So that's it. Liu Zhuang and I are the same kind of people. We don't care about external things. We only care about greater power, higher status, and more troops.
Compared with the army and power, those external things are indeed not worth mentioning.
"In the battle of Xiaquyang, I saw that there are many brave cavalry generals in your army. So, I will give you a method of training Yulin Cavalry by Guanxi men, so that you can use it to train brave cavalry generals. This profession is much more powerful than cavalry generals, but it has extremely strict attribute requirements. Only elite soldiers in the army can practice this profession. With this profession, Yan Sheng's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry will surely be more powerful.
"In addition, I will give you another 100 Xiliang horses! They are of mixed colors, and the white horses were given to your senior sister Gongsun Zan. You should accept them. This is also a token of my appreciation."
Dong Zhuo immediately prescribed the right remedy. Liu Zhuang really could not refuse this gift that could improve the combat effectiveness of his cavalry. He accepted it with thanks, which made Dong Zhuo smile.
I have always been troubled by the fact that I was born in Guanxi. The emperors and aristocratic families east of Hangu Pass look down on people like me who are Guanxi rednecks. Today, I finally met four people from Guandong who are willing to cooperate with me. I will definitely try my best to win them over and make friends with all four of them.
Even if I cannot recruit these four people as my subordinates, at least they can become my friends. With their abilities and achievements, they will definitely make great achievements in the future.
However, what Dong Zhuo did not expect was that when Liu Zhuang returned to the tent and told his wife about Dong Zhuo's use of beautiful women to win him over, Lu Bu flew into a rage on the spot and prepared to leave the camp with his halberd in hand, but was stopped by Liu Zhuang and Tuoba Yun.
How dare you, you old thief, seduce my husband? You fucked sixteen Qiang women with one move? Sixteen hats?
Chapter 1500: Crazy Party Fight ( monthly tickets plus more!)
In Shangquyang, Liu Zhuang and others cooperated with Dong Zhuo to defeat the Yellow Turbans, killed six war generals, and captured General Ren Gong alive. The report of the great victory had been sent to Luoyang, and everyone was very happy.
In Yecheng, the Guandong noble families were really as uncomfortable as eating shit. No, Gongsun Zan, Liu Zhuang, Liu Bei, Zhang He, what do these four mean? We asked you to go there to disgust Dong Zhuo, watching her being defeated by the Yellow Turbans and punished by the court, so how come you four cooperated with Dong Zhuo to defeat the Yellow Turban Army? ? ?
The Guandong families looked at the arrogance of the Guanxi soldiers and felt more disgusted than each other. They refused to send troops and provide food, and used all kinds of excuses to shirk their responsibilities. For example, Yecheng was the starting point of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the land was deserted. Now it was June and July, summer had begun, and the spring crops had not yet been planted. It was all because of the war. This year's harvest was doomed to be a failure, and we had to leave enough food as a backup, otherwise the farmers would not be able to survive until next year's spring planting and autumn harvest.
Even if the five battalions of the Northern Army wanted to set out and cooperate with the General of the Eastern Army to capture Xiaquyang, they would suffer from a shortage of food - what can I do? It's the emperor's fault for not being able to provide enough food to support our expedition?
In this way, the joint forces of Dong Zhuo and Liu Zhuang had just over 10,000 soldiers, and it was too difficult to capture Xiaquyang. Dong Zhuo led 7,000 soldiers from Guanxi to the east, and did not consider the situation that the people from Guandong would be so uncooperative. He did not bring any siege equipment at all, and the siege equipment he had was all made by craftsmen.
In ancient times, sieges were extremely difficult. Unless there were internal factors or traitors, the time usually started from months.
For a while, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jue were trapped under the city wall of Xiaquyang.
In this new round of game, the Jizhou families firmly controlled the food supply and eventually forced the emperor to make concessions.
Okay, okay, you are so cruel. The commander-in-chief's birth is a trivial matter, but you simply don't provide food and grass, and just drag it out, refusing to let the Yellow Turban Rebellion end?
Okay, okay, I won't let Dong Zhuo, a native of Guanxi, be your commander, okay? I can just let someone else lead you, okay? !
As a frontline soldier, all I have to do is obey orders and fight hard. I have a lot of things to consider while staying in Luoyang, such as food, logistics, military pay, and the factional struggles among the Guandong, Guanxi, and eunuch factions, which are really annoying.
In August of the seventh year of Guanghe, Huangfu Song brought a victory report from Henan that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry had killed the Cangting commander Bu Yi. Emperor Ling of Han issued another decree, ordering the Left Zhonglang General Huangfu Song to lead his men across the Yellow River, and then lead the five battalions of the Northern Army that had been idle in Yecheng for more than two months, and the Jizhou soldiers to attack the Yellow Turbans in the south. Dong Zhuo continued to contain Zhang Jue in the north. "You two, one in the south and one in the north, quickly kill all these people, and then I will reward you according to your merits and promote you both."
The Hebei families were also scratching their heads in the face of the emperor's order.
Huangfu Song is a very, very strange person.
Although she was a Confucian scholar, she was from Liangzhou.
Although she is upright, loyal, virtuous and honest, she is from Liangzhou!
Although she is one of the great Confucian scholars like Lu Zhi, she is from Liangzhou!!!
The Guandong families held a meeting overnight and finally decided, forget it, let it be. The emperor has not trusted us Confucian scholars for a long time. Although Huangfu Song is from Guanxi, and the lowest-ranking person from Liangzhou, he is not a reckless man after all. He is a Confucian scholar like us, and he is good at studying classics. His relationship with us is not so stiff, and we can still discuss academic matters when we meet.
Forget it, just listen to her. It is much better to let Huangfu Song, a great scholar from Xiliang, step on the Yellow Turbans to ascend to the throne than to let Dong Zhuo, a reckless woman from Xiliang, step on the Yellow Turbans to ascend to the throne.
In this way, the emperor and the noble families each took a step back. After strangling the Yellow Turbans in Henan, General Huangfu Song did not rest for a moment and went directly north across the Yellow River to take over the command of the army. Then he led the five battalions of the Northern Army, the new recruits from Henan, the noble families from Hebei, and fought against Guangzong City twice! He vowed to break through the largest base of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou.
-------------------------------------
In Shangquyang, Dong Zhuo was also very annoyed. You Guandong nobles are really sick. Do you think so little of me? Would you rather let Huangfu Song reap the final fruits of victory than let me? She had no choice but to make every effort to rely on the only 6,000 soldiers under her command and the 5,000 coalition forces from Guandong to take Quyang! She had to break the city and kill Zhang Jue and Zhang Bao before Huangfu Song!
"General Dongzhong, no, no!"
Upon hearing that Dong Zhuo was determined to attack the city at all costs, Liu Zhuang immediately took Gongsun Zan and others to Dong Zhuo's camp to persuade the furious Dong Zhuo.
Are you crazy? Xiaquyang is the largest northern base of the Yellow Turban Army. Its scale and resources are second only to Guangzong. I don't know how much food and supplies are stored there. How can people like us who lack siege equipment destroy it?
Moreover, if you start a fight, our troops will also be mobilized and we will have no choice but to fight.
"Yan Sheng, how can I not be angry? How can I not resent? Killing Zhang Jue was originally a heavenly achievement that belonged to you and me! Just because of these Jizhou noble families, we have to hand it over to Huangfu Song? Dream on! I can't do it!"
Dong Zhuo was really angry at this moment. She hadn't put on her armor yet. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. The four huge soft lumps on her chest and lower back were shaking, and raising flesh-colored ripples in the air that made people's mouths dry. Her tall and beautiful body had become more mature and attractive after giving birth several times, like a ripe fruit, but her beautiful face was still as young and beautiful as a girl.
"I know you are anxious, but don't rush. Xiaquyang has extremely high defenses and cannot be attacked by force! You can even build a bunch of catapults to smash the city walls day and night, but you can't just send people to climb the city walls with ladders! The losses will be too great."
Liu Zhuang tried to persuade Dong Zhuo with kind words. Seeing that his allies, the only four Confucian scholars from Guandong who were willing to accept him, were speaking, Dong Zhuo could not curse them directly. If he offended these four people again, his military strength would be halved, and it would be impossible to capture Xiaquyang. So he had to listen patiently to what Liu Zhuang said.
"General Dong, think about it. Are our people as numerous as General Zuo's? Are they as elite as General Zuo's?"
"Huangfu Song has five battalions of the Northern Army and the Jizhou family. Naturally, we are not as good as him."
Dong Zhuo called him by his name in displeasure, and sat down on the Hu bed. His plump and beautiful flesh was wrapped in a thin layer of white gauze, even overflowing from the bed. Then he raised one of his fair and round legs. The Hu bed introduced by Emperor Ling of Han was really a good thing. It was very comfortable as he didn't have to kneel down to sit on it.
"Then are our preparations for the siege sufficient with General Zuo Zhonglang?"
Liu Zhuang continued to ask questions.
"Not enough, definitely not enough."
Dong Zhuo was deflated and hung his head in frustration.
"Since you also know that we can't break the city faster than General Zuo Zhonglang, then why let the soldiers die in vain? The Yellow Turban Army is now a desperate army, and has reached the point where they are desperate. We can't force the enemy into a desperate situation. Instead, we must let them see the hope of survival, so as to undermine the enemy's fighting spirit."
"A strong attack will never work. Why don't we adopt a conciliatory policy? General Dong, you still have a chance to defeat General Zuo by relying on your status and position and appeasing these rebels."
Chapter 106: On the verge of collapse
Dong Zhuo thought about it over and over again, feeling torn, so he called in Li Ru and other Confucian scholars from Guanzhong who had higher intelligence to advise him. As a result, he came to the same conclusion as Liu Zhuang: the possibility of successfully persuading him to surrender was very low, but it was indeed higher than the possibility of winning by force.
With just a few of us, we are going to attack a fortified city with plenty of food, and we have to do it before Huangfu Song and the five battalions of the Northern Army win? It's too difficult.
After Dong Zhuo's anger subsided, he regained his composure and had to admit that attacking Quyang by force would only result in heavy casualties. Liu Zhuang's proposal was indeed the safest method, so he began to make preparations for both situations. On the one hand, he persuaded the two sisters Zhang Jue and Zhang Bao in the city to surrender, and on the other hand, he temporarily built a set of catapults.
After leaving Dong Zhuo's tent, Liu Zhuang immediately returned to the camp and tried to recruit General Zhang Liang first. She was now imprisoned in the safest central military tent. Her pair of tender arms were roughly bent behind her back. The flexible red ropes used by the Han army to weave armor, through a thin bright yellow skirt, wandered freely on her delicate skin, stimulating and tightly squeezing every inch of her soft flesh.
Countless bright red ropes intertwined and entangled on that beautiful body, forming tortoise-shell-shaped diamonds, deeply tied into the graceful waist on both sides, making her figure even more sexy and attractive. Several red ropes passed through the base of the breasts, tightly tightening them, making her well-shaped breasts more upright and prominent.
Her long legs were kneeling on a thick leather mattress, her round thighs were folded over her delicate calves, and were also tied up with layers of red ropes used by the Han army to make armor, revealing pieces of tempting flesh.
Her long golden hair fell from her head like a waterfall, half covering her already beautiful face. But now, she was blindfolded and wearing a gag. Her seductive red lips were forced to open, unable to close, and dripping with sweet saliva. Only half of her face and her pink nose were exposed, creating a sadistic and hazy beauty.
Liu Zhuang's eyes sparkled as he looked at Zhang Liang who was tightly bound. It was not because he coveted her beauty, but because this [Yellow Sky Forbidden Army] was too tempting. I thought the bonuses of +8 strength, +6 agility, +7 constitution, and +9 spellcasting attributes of Thunder Warrior were already amazing enough, but I didn't expect there would be an even more advanced Yellow Sky Forbidden Army. I captured quite a few Thunder Warriors in this battle, and also captured one Forbidden Army. I wonder if I can find a way to replicate this kind of human body modification.
But before that, it is more important to persuade her to surrender. As long as she surrenders, these secret recipes can naturally be obtained.
"It's time to eat, General."
Liu Zhuang temporarily untied Zhang Liang's gag and fed the blindfolded general, even using honorifics. There was no other way. As long as the gag was lifted, Zhang Liang could chant the magic. Things like feeding had to be done personally, otherwise she would probably run away.
Zhang Liang closed his lips and refused to eat. He looked like he was going to starve himself to death and would never be humiliated. In your eyes, I am a traitor and a captive. Why are you calling me a general? Who are you humiliating?
"In fact, I am just like you. I was born a peasant in Dingxiang. I was also forced into a desperate situation by the imperial court. I almost died on the road while migrating to Yanmen. Therefore, I can understand the suffering you have endured, your dissatisfaction with the empire, and even more so, the helplessness of your uprising."
Liu Zhuang sincerely comforted the general in front of him.
"But if we want to change our hometown and our country, rebellion is not the only way out."
"Ha! Liu Zhuang, you really are worthy of being Lu Zhi's disciple. Do you want to follow his lead? Do you think the Han Dynasty is bad and want to build it up?
Bullshit! We are being driven to death by the Han people in famine and plague! If we could have a bite to eat and a piece of land to plant, how could there be hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou who would rise up with us?! We are the righteous!"
Zhang Liang called Liu Zhuang by his full name, which was considered a curse according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and she herself sneered at Lu Zhi's approach.
"No, no, no, I mean... patience."
Liu Zhuang leaned close to Zhang Liang's ear and whispered softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The demise of the empire is irreversible. Eight years ago, Tan Shihuai led the Xianbei people to three victories in three battles, defeating the elite frontier armies of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Southern Xiongnu one after another. Bingzhou even lost four counties in one go: Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, and Dingxiang.
The defeated border troops in You and Bing states have not yet fully recovered. The Southern Xiongnu are even more convinced of the empire's weakness and are extremely angry about its incompetence.
In Liangzhou, the empire wanted to give up Liangzhou a long time ago. The rebellion of the Qiang people was getting more and more intense, and it was possible to form a prairie fire at any time! Let's put it this way, the three border areas of Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou are three shabby houses that will collapse with a single kick.
What's even more terrifying is that your uprising has exhausted the emperor's last breath. Luoyang does not even have enough food to support the five battalions of the Northern Army to cross a thousand miles to Quyang to suppress the bandits. They must rely on the food supply of the Jizhou families. The momentum of the aristocratic families in annexing land and swallowing refugees in this war is close to madness!
Now, let alone these foreign threats, even the various aristocratic families and clans of the Han Dynasty have clearly seen the weakness of the court. These clans are at odds with the eunuchs supported by the emperor! What do you think they will do next?
Moreover, now that His Majesty has delegated military power, everyone can recruit and raise troops privately. The largest clan in Jizhou even raised an army of 10,000 people. I think the collapse of this empire is really just a matter of time. "
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. Liu Zhuang's words were beyond her comprehension. No, aren't you a Han official? This should be a topic that cannot be mentioned in the Han Dynasty.
"I am not advising you to surrender to the Han Emperor. I am only advising you to be patient and live on. As long as you are alive, you can wait for a turning point! You can wait for the day of change.
I don't ask you to build an empire. I just want you to think about this: when the empire collapses and the world is in chaos, do you want to die in the underworld, looking at the Han Empire and your compatriots with satisfaction, and be buried with you? Or do you want to lead your fellow villagers and rebuild the world of our dreams at that time?
I am just like you. All the soldiers in the White Horse Camp are my fellow villagers and my family. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. At the beginning, I just wanted to live well by myself, but when they all trusted me and followed me, my goal changed. Now, I also want my fellow villagers and my family to live well in this chaotic world. "
Zhang Liang was silent. At first, she thought that Liu Zhuang was just a vicious dog raised by the court, and he was the kind who fought harder and harder than anyone else.
Unexpectedly, what he was planning was the same as mine.
"You...I...wait, let me think about it."
Zhang Liang opened his mouth with difficulty and fell into deep thought.
"No problem, think about it slowly, but I'm sorry, I can't untie you before you surrender. Come, eat first. Only by staying alive and waiting can we usher in a turnaround."
Liu Zhuang scooped up a ball of fragrant rice with chopsticks and brought it to Zhang Liang's lips again. This time, the general did not refuse. He opened his little mouth, which was a little numb from the ball gag, and ate the food Liu Zhuang brought in small bites. Diao Chan also trotted over, hugged Liu Zhuang's thighs like a spoiled child, squinted her lovely foxy eyes, opened her little mouth, and asked her adoptive father to feed her.
