Chen Lang nodded. "When it's done, I'll definitely not mistreat the general!"
Chen Lang lowered his head to look at Empress Dowager He's bulging chest, and laughed wickedly, "The Empress Dowager's opinion of this lowly general is already good enough!" Empress Dowager He gave a charming smile and glared at Chen Lang.
Chen Lang calmed himself down and said: "We still need the Empress's cooperation to expel Dong Zhuo." Without hesitation, Empress Dowager He replied, "If the general needs me to cooperate, feel free to speak up."
Chen Lang said: "I need the Empress to write a secret order to rob the thieves. It's only right and proper that we act. "
Empress Dowager He immediately walked behind the desk and sat down. She began writing a secret decree on a piece of paper and a brush, then passed it to Chen Lang. Chen Lang looked at the secret decree, seeing that there were no problems, he folded it and hid it in his bosom, then said: "This general will take his leave." "General, don't make me stay any longer!" Empress Dowager He hastened to say. Chen Lang nodded, cupped his fists at Empress Dowager He and quickly left.
That night, Chen Lang invited all the generals of the imperial guards to a feast in the tent. But at that moment, Guan Yu had already led two hundred large blade warriors to quietly surround the big tent, waiting for Chen Lang who was in the feast to use the cup as a signal to attack.
During the feast, Xia Mou, who was originally one of the eight schools in the Western Garden, raised his wine cup and said to Chen Lang with a smile, "General gets special attention from the Grand Tutor. The generals echoed one after another, their flattery rising and falling.
Chen Lang raised his wine cup and laughed: "Thank you for your auspicious words. If I really achieve great success, I will never forget my bros. "Come, let's drink this cup together!" Everyone raised their wine glasses and drained it in one gulp.
Chen Lang raised his head and drained his cup, he glanced at the people around and was prepared to throw down his cup.
Just at this time, Gan Ning rushed over to Chen Lang's side, bent down and said softly: "General, something has happened. Ding Yuan is dead, all the Union Army have pledged their allegiance to Dong Zhuo. "
Chen Lang was shocked, and asked: "How can this be?"
Gan Ning said: "I heard that Lv Bu killed Ding Yuan and led the entire Union Army to surrender. It is not clear what the situation is. "
Chen Lang's mind was in a mess as he ordered Gan Ning: "Immediately inform Captain Yun that the original plan has been cancelled and everyone should retreat immediately." Gan Ning replied and left in a hurry.
Everyone in the pavilion looked at Chen Lang curiously. They could only see Gan Ning and Chen Lang whispering to each other, but they did not know what exactly they had said.
Chen Lang gently put down his wine cup and laughed: "Let me tell everyone a piece of good news. Ding Yuan is already dead, and all the Union Army have pledged their allegiance to the Grand Preceptor. " Everyone was stunned for a moment before they started shouting excitedly.
Chen Lang laughed: "Looks like we won't have any chance to show off." Everyone smiled.
Chen Lang said: "It's getting late, let's all go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will go congratulate the To the Grand Preceptor s of the Grand Preceptor's estate. " All the generals stood up, bowed to Chen Lang, and left, leaving Cao Cao Cao alone.
Cao Cao asked, "Brother Chen, what is going on?"
Chen Lang said: "I just received news. Ding Yuan's adopted son, Lv Bu, killed Ding Yuan and all the other Union Army s to submit to Dong Zhuo. "
Cao Cao frowned and angrily said, "How could this happen?"
Chen Lang knew what was going on. The 'Three Kingdoms' was very clear, Dong Zhuo sent his subordinates to bribe Lv Bu with gold and silver treasures, to kill Ding Yuan, and to take over Union Army. Actually, Chen Lang had already been worried that this would happen, it was only because of two considerations that he did not take measures. Firstly, Chen Lang thought that Dong Zhuo sending Li Su to bribe Lv Bu would not progress so quickly, and secondly, out of consideration for being intimate, Chen Lang could indeed tell Ding Yuan that Dong Zhuo might have bribed Lv Bu to be on guard, but there was one problem with that, no matter if it was Chen Lang or Cao Cao Cao, they did not interact much with Ding Yuan, and Lv Bu was Ding Yuan's adopted son, if they were to talk about this matter, not only would Ding Yuan be unable to obtain any hope, but it would also make Ding Yuan suspicious of himself and Cao Cao. Because of all these considerations, Chen Lang did not take any measures to possibly bribe Lv Bu. He did not expect this matter to happen so quickly, to the point that they were caught unawares.
Chen Lang stood up and said: "Brother Meng De, let's go out for a walk."
The two of them left the tent and arrived at a small hill next to the military camp. Chen Lang sat down, and said with a wry smile: "This is called being human is not as good as being in the heavens! "You and I had planned everything so well, but in the end, all our efforts were in vain!" Cao Cao picked up a stone and threw it into the distance, gloomily saying, "The heavens are helping the thieves!"
Chen Lang asked: Brother Meng De, what are you planning to do?
Cao Cao frowned, "If we keep bringing them down here, they won't be able to do anything. I plan to leave and head towards Guan Dong."
Chen Lang nodded. Cao Cao looked at Chen Lang, and asked hopefully: "Brother Chen, are you coming with me?"
Chen Lang shook his head: "I plan to stay." Cao Cao said with a sigh, "It seems like Brother Chen has no intention of giving up!" He then cupped his fist and said, "Brother Chen, it's getting late, I will take my leave." Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Brother Meng De, please leave." Cao Cao nodded and left.
Chen Lang returned to the big tent, and seeing that Guan Yu and the rest of the generals were there, he laughed and asked: "Why aren't you resting at all?" Guan Yu walked up and cupped his fists: "Big brother, are we just going to let this matter go like this?"
Chen Lang walked to the front of the handsome table and sat down, then spread out his hands and said: "Since the situation is like this, what else can we do?" The generals were extremely depressed.
Chen Lang glanced at the generals, and said: "The time is not right anymore. All we need to do now is endure. " The generals looked at each other and clasped their fists in response.
Chen Lang stood up and laughed: "Alright, stop thinking about it and go back to rest." The generals replied before turning around and leaving the tent.
Chen Lang could not help but sigh, a feeling of helplessness rising in his heart. He felt that sometimes, human power was really limited, and the so called victorious in life did not exist.
Lv Bu stood beside Dong Zhuo, looking down on all the other heroes. Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, was laughing happily.
After walking around the Grand Preceptor's estate, Chen Lang returned to his own residence in the Luoyang City. He changed into the uniform of a eunuch and entered the cold palace.
When she saw Empress Dowager He, she quickly came forward with a face full of hope. "General, have you accomplished something big?"
Chen Lang shook his head, and said: "Ding Yuan was suddenly murdered by his foster son, and the entire Union Army was annexed by Dong Zhuo, so we are unable to proceed with the original plan."
Empress Dowager He was greatly disappointed and frowned but didn't speak.
Chen Lang said: "Looks like annihilating Dong Zhuo is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Empress, do not be impatient." Pausing for a moment, "I estimate that before long, a great change will happen to the world, and then the opportunity will come. The Empress still needs some time to endure. " Empress Dowager He sighed and drawled, "I'm a woman, what else can I do other than endure?"
Chen Lang cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness, please take care. I will take my leave."
Empress Dowager He hastened to say, "Generals must never forget their promises!" Chen Lang said: "Empress, don't worry, I will not sit still and watch Dong Zhuo continue to wreak havoc!" She then bowed towards Empress Dowager He and left. Empress Dowager He frowned, her eyes filled with resentment.
Dong Zhuo not only solved the danger brought by Ding Yuan in one fell swoop, he even merged with the powerful Union Army in one go. He became even more arrogant, looked down on the world, and acted arrogantly, causing the entire imperial government to tremble in front of him. The emperor and the imperial government seemed to have become his playthings.
Chen Lang was immediately in Yellow River shore, watching his soldiers train in the water, but his thoughts flew far away.
Chen Lang frowned.
Pei Yuanshao spurred his horse over and shouted anxiously: "Something has happened! Something has happened! " He arrived in front of Chen Lang, did not bother to pay his respects, and anxiously shouted. "General, something big happened! Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo this morning and has already escaped to Guan Dong! Dong Zhuo was furious. In the name of the imperial government, he issued an order to capture Cao Cao! "
Guan Yu was surprised: "I never thought that Cao Cao would have such gall!"
In the Grand Preceptor's estate, Dong Zhuo was still fuming and cursing Cao Cao. Xia Mou took the chance and said, "Grand Preceptor, that Cao Cao has always been very close to Chen Lang, I'm afraid that Chen Lang won't be able to escape from the assassination this time!"
Many people echoed his words. Dong Zhuo was filled with anger, but had nowhere to vent it. After hearing what Chen Lang said, he roared: "Chen Lang brat, you've truly gotten tired of living! Feng Xian! " Lv Bu immediately cupped his fists and said: "Foster father!"
Dong Zhuo said fiercely: "Immediately lead your troops and head out of the city to capture Chen Lang! If anyone dares to resist, kill them on the spot! " Lv Bu promised and prepared to leave. Dong Yuan suddenly said: "Father, I think that General Ying Yang is definitely not that kind of person!" Niu Fu saw that Dong Yuan was actually speaking up for Chen Lang, and could not help but be dissatisfied, and said: "Chen Lang's conspiracy, has solid evidence!"
