Chapter 117: Negotiating with Dong Zhuo


Lu Bu quickly took the sword thrown by Dong Zhuo and blocked Liu Cheng's Greedy Wolf Sword.

With a "dang" sound, Lu Bu felt his arms were a little numb, but the sword in his hand was intact.

He was overjoyed, knowing that Dong Zhuo had this sword.

The sword was a real sword, and he immediately attacked Liu Cheng.

The ground and stone pillars in the main hall had been damaged by Lu Bu and Liu Cheng's battle attacks.

There were knife marks everywhere, and the hard wooden floor had been trampled to pieces by the two in the battle.

After fighting for more than a hundred moves, Liu Cheng began to be at a disadvantage due to his lack of combat experience.

He gradually became unable to resist.

Lu Bu made a diagonal slash, and Liu Cheng immediately counterattacked with his sword.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and swung his sword towards Liu Cheng's head.

Split.

Liu Cheng tried his best to block it with his sword.

With a "dang" sound, Liu Cheng felt a powerful secret force pass to his body, as if his chest was hit hard.

He stepped back seven or eight times, stepping on a piece of gravel under his feet.

The body fell to the ground involuntarily and a mouthful of blood protruded from his mouth.

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw this.

He was taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

He immediately rushed over with two strong steps and thrust his sword straight into Liu Cheng's chest.

Liu Cheng immediately swung his sword and slashed diagonally.

He quickly turned around and slashed towards Lu Bu's head with his sword.

Lu Bu crossed the line. live.

With a "dang" sound, Lu Bu withdrew two strokes in a row.

He was suddenly horrified to find that something in Liu Cheng's knife had entered his body.

Then he felt numb and couldn't move.

Liu Cheng's eyes were so sharp that he immediately noticed Lu Bu's abnormality.

He quickly stepped forward and slashed at Lu Bu's neck with his sword again.

Lu Bu's eyes widened with fear in his eyes.

Between the lightning and flint, a spear flew towards him.

With a "dang" sound, Liu Cheng's Greedy Wolf Sword was hit by the spear.

The force of the impact made his body take a step back involuntarily, and the Greedy Wolf Sword also broke away from Lu Bu. neck range.

At this time, Lu Bu was finally able to move.

With an angry look on his face, he slashed at Liu Cheng with his sword, causing Liu Cheng to hit him again and again.

Lu Bu followed closely, he kept slashing, and Liu Cheng kept blocking. , and finally pushed away Lu Bu's sword with all his strength, and swung the sword to Lu Bu's abdomen.

Lu Bu had no time to block with his sword and immediately retreated.

Unexpectedly, the blade of Liu Cheng's Greedy Wolf Saber suddenly flew out with a white bolt.

The speed was as fast as lightning.

With a hiss, Lu Bu felt a pain in his abdomen.

When he lowered his head, he saw that Seeing that the abdominal armor was cut horizontally, a stream of bright red blood flowed out from the incision.

At this time, Liu Cheng seemed to have been drained of his body and was unable to pursue Lu Bu.

Lu Bu quickly reached out to cover his abdomen.

He looked up at Liu Cheng with a hint of timidity in his eyes.

Two consecutive abnormal killing moves made him suffer greatly.

The first time, his body was unable to move for a short time.

The second time, the sword was actually able to emit substantial light and such terrifying lethality that he could not control his inner cowardice.

When Zhang Xiu next to Dong Zhuo saw this, he immediately flew up to protect Lu Bu and stared at Liu Cheng with an extremely nervous expression.

Wang Shuang immediately rushed up and raised his sword to Zhang Xiu and shouted: "Your opponent is me."

When Li Ru saw this, he knew that he would not be able to capture Liu Cheng today no matter what.

Now neither side could do anything to the other.

Once the troops from both sides fought outside, no one could predict which side would win, but it could be determined.

Yes, if the two sides really want to go to full-scale war, the palace will be bloody and the palace will be beaten to pieces.

By then, the soldiers on both sides will be red-eyed.

I am afraid that all the ministers in the palace will be killed, and the safety of Liu Bian and Liu Xie will be at risk.

None are guaranteed.

He immediately raised his hands and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, don't fight anymore.

It will do no good to anyone if you continue to fight Zhang Xiu.

Protect Fengxian and retreat."

Zhang Xiu nodded without looking back, waving the injured Lu Bu back slowly step by step, fearing that Liu Cheng would burst out and attack at this time.

In fact, Liu Cheng's body was completely empty at this time, his body was weak, and he did not pursue him at all.

The ability to kill Lu Bu.

Li Ru shouted to Liu Cheng from afar: "General Liu, we have all seen your bravery.

You are on par with Fengxian.

None of you can do anything to the other.

If we continue to fight, we will both lose."

The atmosphere outside now The situation is getting more and more tense.

If the soldiers from both sides fight, the scene will definitely be chaotic.

The general can ensure that His Majesty the Emperor and Will King Chenliu be harmed?

I'm afraid that the ministers in the palace will not be spared.

How many generals will survive in the end?

I can't guarantee that I can win.

Even if you can win, there is absolutely no problem for us to break out.

Yes, when the time comes for a full-scale war, it’s still unclear who will win.

I’m afraid this is not what the general wants to see.”

"Hmph."

Liu Cheng snorted coldly, "Li Ru, don't try to kidnap me with these, I won't accept your tricks.

Give you time to express your purpose in one sentence, otherwise everyone will be here today."

Here both jade and stone will be destroyed.”

Li Ru immediately said: "I know that the general wants to protect him.

What I want to say is that Dong Sikong is willing to give up the matter of abolishing Li Li, and we will have peace talks.

Although we have fought here, the court cannot be in chaos, and the world cannot be in chaos, right?"

If the court is in chaos, the world will be in chaos.

This is not what Mr.

Dong wants to see."

"Are you willing to give up the abolition of Li during the peace talks?"

Liu Cheng asked, his eyes turning to Dong Zhuo, "Li Ru, can you be Dong Zhuo's master?"

Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and said: "When things have reached this point, I can't do anything to you, and you can't do anything to me.

Our family will take a step back and give up the matter of abolishing the establishment, but some conditions must be made clear."

Liu Cheng secretly tried his best to regain his strength.

He stared at Dong Zhuo and said, "Tell me your conditions."

Dong Zhuo turned around and looked at the ministers and officials hiding under the walls on the left and right sides of the hall and in the corners, and said, "How about we invite your Majesty to come and discuss it together?"

It's really a disgraceful thing for two ministers to negotiate terms for the imperial court and the world, and this place has been beaten to a pulp, so it's really not a place to negotiate terms.

"Okay."

Liu Cheng weighed and agreed, and shouted to Zhao You: "Zhao You, Eunuch Zhao, could you please lead someone to clean the side hall, and then invite your Majesty to come over.

My general and Dong Sikong will come soon."

Li Ru immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, we have to send someone over to keep an eye on it."

"Hmph, judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart."

Liu Cheng sneered and waved his hand: "Let you send someone over to supervise."

Li Ru immediately assigned Hu Che'er to keep an eye on the eunuchs in the side hall to prevent them from ambushing the swordsmen.

Not long after, Zhao You came over and reported: "General, the side hall has been cleaned up."

Liu Cheng said to Zhao You: "Withdraw all the people from the side hall, leaving no one behind."

"yes" Liu Cheng said to Dong Zhuo again: "Dong Zhuo, you are allowed to bring a guard into the side hall, and Wang Shuang will enter the side hall to protect His Majesty.

I am alone.

Do you have any objections?"

"Agree."

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and agreed, then turned to Lu Bu and said, "Fengxian, are you okay?"

Lu Bu held his bloody abdomen with a look of pain on his face.

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury.

But we need to find a doctor to stop the bleeding and treat the injury."

Dong Zhuo turned to look at Liu Cheng and said: "Fengxian's injury must be treated by an imperial physician.

This is our family's first condition."

Liu Cheng looked at Dong Zhuo, slowly turned to look at Lu Bu, and sneered in his heart.

He shouted to Zhao Chun: "Eunuch Zhao, send a young eunuch to ask the imperial doctor to come and treat Lu Bu's injury."

Zhao Chun immediately asked the young eunuch next to him to call the imperial doctor.

Liu Cheng took a few steps back and asked sideways, "Where is your Majesty?"

After a while, Liu Bian shrank from behind the screen and was helped out by Zhao Chun, saying: "I, I am here."

"Yan Xing, Lu Weihuang, tell Zhong Ji that during the negotiation between my general and Dong Zhuo, you are not allowed to act rashly without my order.

If the Xiliang army has evil intentions, there is no need to ask my general for instructions and to counterattack immediately."

Yan Xing and Lu Weihuang outside the hall clasped their fists and agreed in unison: "I obey."

Dong Zhuo looked at the generals under his command and said: "Hua Xiong, follow me in.

Li Ru, Zhang Xiu, Li Su, you all have to listen to us.

Without our orders, you must not act rashly.

If they take action first, , you just take action” "Don't worry, sir."

Liu Cheng walked under His Majesty Dan and clasped his fists at Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, please move to the side hall."

Wang Shuang walked over immediately, waited for Liu Bian to come down, and then escorted him from the side door to the side hall.

Liu Cheng sheathed his sword and stretched out his hand: "Dong Sikong, please" Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Hua Xiong immediately guarded Dong Zhuo, and Liu Cheng followed him out of the hall.

When the soldiers from both sides outside the hall saw them coming out, they gave way to the passage for them to pass.

At this time, looking outside the hall, there were dense soldiers and generals everywhere.

The two sides were clearly separated, but Dong Zhuo's army was obviously surrounded by Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses. , but because both sides have equal strength, this siege is not actually suppressive in terms of momentum.

When they came to the side hall, Liu Bian knelt down and sat on the soft couch in front.

Wang Shuang was guarding Liu Bian.

There was a long table about two meters long in the middle, with soft cushions on the ground at both ends.

Liu Cheng and Dong Zhuo were separated.

Kneeling on the left and right on the cushions on both sides, Hua Xiong stood behind Dong Zhuo holding the handle of the knife.

Liu Chengdao: "Dong Zhuo, tell me your conditions."

Dong Zhuo didn't talk nonsense: "First, your Majesty is young, so someone must come out to preside over the government.

Now in terms of strength, only you and I are the most qualified in the court.

But with your connections and qualifications in the court, General Liu, I'm afraid that You yourself don’t believe that you can make all the officials willing to serve you, do you?

Although I, Dong Zhuo, have been in the frontier for a long time, I have managed some power in the court over the years, much stronger than you.

Therefore, my family must be the regent for the future of the court.

You are not allowed to interfere in major matters."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Yes, but you cannot have the final say in the appointment and dismissal of all officials in the DPRK.

You can decide the appointment and dismissal of officials below the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.

The appointment and removal of the Three Gongs, Nine Ministers and the governors of each state must be approved by His Majesty's Zhubi.

Just do it” Dong Zhuo thought to himself, after I replace all the officials below the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers and the prefectural pastors of each state with my people, once there are vacancies among the three gongs, nine ministers and prefectural pastors, you will not have to use my people to fill them.

So he agreed: " Agree with Article 2, let us After the regency, your majesty cannot issue political orders.

Otherwise, you, Liu Cheng, have no right to interfere with Article 3.

Your majesty must hand over the seal to the chancellery.

In the future, the writing, sealing and promulgation of government orders and edicts will be directly Conducted at Shangshutai" Liu Cheng weighed it up and agreed: "I agree with the second article.

The seal handed over to the Chancellery in the third article can only be the emperor's treasure.

In the future, the imperial edicts and government decrees will be issued with the emperor's treasure."

"No, the imperial seal has to be handed over to the Chancellor."

Liu Cheng refused to give in: "It's absolutely impossible.

The Jade Seal of the State is a symbol of imperial power.

If you want to pass the Jade Seal of the State, do you have to seize the throne and change the dynasty?"
