C49 Time has come

Just as Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Guo Si, Li Que, Zhang Jifan, and Niu Fu stepped forward together to fight, "I am willing to be the vanguard and offer Ding Yuan's dog head to the Grand Tutor!"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "I also have so many elite soldiers and generals, if I were to defeat Ding Yuan, it would be as easy as flipping my hand!" Then, he started to hesitate, as he did not know who he should send to fight against Ding Yuan. Thus, he turned to look at Li Ru. Li Ru said: "General Ying Yang is a brave and peerless man, you can definitely take on this heavy responsibility!"

After Chen Lang heard this, he secretly frowned.

Dong Zhuo immediately looked at Chen Lang and laughed: "We have personally witnessed the power of General Ying Yang! If General Ying Yang were to go, then that clown Ding Yuan would have been as good as dead! "

There was nothing Chen Lang could do, he could only come out and clasp his fists, "If the Grand Preceptor has orders, this general will go through thick and thin without any hesitation!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, "Alright! If the general is able to win, then we, the emperor, will bestow you the title of the Great General of the Left Yu Lin Wei! "

When everyone heard this, they all revealed envious expressions. Niu Fu immediately jumped out and said, "Grand Preceptor, this is inappropriate! That Chen Lang just submitted to the Grand Preceptor, we must not let this task go to waste! " Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone could understand the meaning behind his words. Niu Fu's intention was to say that Chen Lang had not submitted for long and was not reliable enough to take on the heavy responsibility of leading the troops.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he could not help but hesitate for a moment. He looked at Chen Lang, then looked at Niu Fu and said: "Our family trusts General Ying Yang. However, the officials of the General Ying Yang were not enough, they only wanted to fight so that Ding Yuan would laugh at them. Let's do it like this, General Ying Yang will not fight this time. Niu Fu, I will have you lead a hundred thousand West Cold Army s to the north to fight Ding Yuan's dog! " Chen Lang and Niu Fu cupped their fists and replied. Niu Fu turned and looked at Chen Lang with the attitude of a victor. Chen Lang laughed.

Dong Zhuo said to Niu Fu: "Niu Fu, if you can defeat Ding Yuan and bring his head over to see, I will guarantee that you will become the great rider general!"

Niu Fu was overjoyed. Standing up, he looked towards the goddess Dong Yuan, only to see Dong Yuan's gaze landing on her, instantly filled with jealousy and hatred. He made up his mind that after this great victory, he must take this opportunity to To the Grand Preceptor to propose marriage so that he wouldn't give others an opportunity to take advantage of. In Niu Fu's heart, Dong Yuan already belonged to him, so no one could get their hands on him.

After the meeting ended, Cao Cao Cao said to Chen Lang: "Brother Chen, we haven't had a drink in a long time, how about we go to Du Kang Building for a drink tonight?"

Chen Lang laughed: "I also have that intention."

The two of them exited the Grand Preceptor's estate together and headed straight for the Du Kang Building. On the stairs, he met Miss Cai, who was disguised as a man, coming down from above. Cao Cao smiled and greeted, "Cai, Young Master!" Unexpectedly, the Miss Cai looked at the two of them and his eyes revealed anger. He snorted and did not return the greeting as he brought the servant girl dressed as a errand boy down the stairs.

Cao Cao was extremely embarrassed. Chen Lang teased: "I'm afraid Brother Meng De has offended this lady in some way!" With Chen Lang's eyesight, he naturally could see that this Young Master Cai was actually a Miss Cai dressed in men's clothing.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "But I saw that her angry gaze was directed at Brother Chen, not me!"

Chen Lang also felt that it was a little strange. He thought about it carefully, but could not remember where he had seen this ill-tempered Miss Cai before. He smiled and shook his head, "I don't remember seeing her before." Cao Cao roughly understood the whole situation, but did not say it out loud.

The two of them went to a seat near the window on the second floor and sat down. At this time of the night, there were not many customers in the restaurant. Cao Cao asked for a jug of wine and a few side dishes. After a while, the dishes were served.

Chen Lang poured wine into a pot for the two, put it down, picked up a wine cup, and took a sip. Cao Cao Cao also picked up his wine cup and took a sip, "Not long ago, we were still drinking and chatting here, but not long after, things changed!" Then, he raised his head and drained the wine.

Chen Lang laughed: "Brother Meng De didn't drag me here to drink, is it to reminisce the past?"

Cao Cao put down his wine cup, laughed out loud and said, "The one who knows me is Brother Chen!" Then, he lowered his voice and said: "Brother Chen, Ding Yuan led his army and approached them, what do you think?"

Chen Lang answered with a question: "How much does Brother Meng De know about Ding Yuan? What is the battle power of the Union Army? "

Chen Lang nodded his head and said: "He Jin is the one who is the most active outside of Dong Zhuo in summoning troops to the capital. I think that Ding Yuan did not come here to help the government, his goal is the same as Dong Zhuo, it's just that Dong Zhuo acted a little faster than him, so he was there first. "

Cao Cao Cao nodded in agreement. He looked at Chen Lang and said, "But no matter what Ding Yuan is thinking, we can make use of him!"

"That's exactly what I want. Brother Meng De, I believe there's someone suitable to be chosen, right? "

Cao Cao nodded his head, "I do have one subordinate, who is also from the Spirit Province, who is an aide under Ding Yuan. This person is most suitable for a mission. "

Chen Lang nodded his head, and then discussed the details with Cao Cao.

Just at the same time, someone reported the news that Chen Lang and Cao Cao were drinking with Dong Zhuo in Du Kang Building. Dong Zhuo immediately became suspicious, but Li Ru said: "If the two of them have any evil intentions, they would never dare to meet in public! The two of them had a deep relationship to begin with, so it's normal for them to go drinking together. There's no need for the Grand Preceptor to be suspicious! "

Dong Zhuo was relieved and reprimanded the person who came to report.

It was said that Dong Zhuo had sent Niu Fu to lead a hundred thousand West Cold Army to meet Ding Yuan in battle. Niu Fu was eager to win, once he reached the Yellow River shore, he ordered his men to build a pontoon bridge and cross the Yellow River to attack the Union Army. Halfway through the battle, Ding Yuan ordered his five thousand Steel Cavalry to suddenly attack, and in an instant, they had completely wiped out West Cold Army who was crossing the river. Ding Yuan then took the chance and led her army to cover them, and in that moment, waves of troops surged towards West Cold Army. West Cold Army was defeated. Union Army defeated West Cold Army and took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, entering the Luoyang to set up camp.

When Dong Zhuo heard the news of Niu Fu's defeat, he was shocked and angry, and then called for everyone to ask for countermeasures.

Li Ru said: "Ding Yuan is not something to be afraid of. What is truly frightening is Ding Yuan's adopted son, Lv Bu! The reason why General Niu Fu was so defeated, was because Lv Bu had led five thousand of his Steel Cavalry to charge in a mess! "

Dong Zhuo nodded in agreement and asked, "Who can go back on their word?"

Li Ru looked at Chen Lang, then cupped his fists towards Dong Zhuo and said: "Grand Tutor, to defeat Union Army, you must be General Ying Yang!" Dong Zhuo nodded and asked: "Where is Chen Lang?"

Chen Lang came out and said: "This lowly general is willing to lead the army to retreat the enemy!"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "If we are still at the front line, then if the general can retreat, then we will hold the general to be the Great General of the Left Yu Lin Wei!" Grand Preceptor Xie! The twenty thousand Ying Yang Army s under the Grand Preceptor's command weren't enough to withstand the hundred thousand strong and imposing armies! This lowly general requests that all the imperial guards be redeployed to this lowly general's command! " The so-called imperial guards were actually the names given to the various troops stationed in the capital city. This included Lin Wei from the left and right, North Battalion Five School, and West Battalion Eight School. Dong Zhuo said without any hesitation: "Alright! All the imperial guards will be assigned to command you! " Chen Lang was secretly happy, he cupped his fists in thanks.

After the meeting ended, Dong Zhuo was still worried that Chen Lang would not be able to win against Lv Bu who had Lv Bu. Just then, Li Ru brought Li Su in with a face full of joy. "Grand Preceptor, Grand Preceptor, good news, good news!"

At the same time, Chen Lang had already rushed to the camp outside of the city. He gave the order for the various imperial guards to gather, and for those who did not arrive by noon, to be punished by martial law. All of the imperial guards had gathered. Although many people were unwilling, they didn't dare to disobey the military order.

Cao Cao Cao was the first to lead the troops over, upon seeing Chen Lang, he whispered: "The envoy has already returned, we have already contacted Ding Yuan."

Chen Lang continued: Let the secret envoy tell Ding Yuan that when tomorrow's big battle happens, our army will feign defeat, and then retreat into the city to control the city gates. Then, he can take the opportunity to lead his army in! At that time, our two armies will come together, and there will be a great chance for us to defeat the West Cold Army! " Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "That should be the case." Then he said, "The commanders of the imperial guards have pledged their allegiance to Dong Zhuo, and I'm afraid something unexpected will happen. This is something that cannot be ignored! "

Chen Lang said: "Tonight, we will set up a feast to invite everyone. At that time, we will take the opportunity to kill everyone!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and praised, "Good move! A man without poison! This will guarantee success! " He cupped his fists towards Chen Lang and said: "Leave the matters here to brother Chen, leave the matter of contacting Ding Yuan to me."

Chen Lang said: "Ding Yuan also did not come with good intentions! After this is over, we will still need to get rid of Ding Yuan! " Cao Cao laughed, "After this is done, we will set up another feast." He cupped his hands at Chen Lang and quickly left.

When the imperial guards of the various ministries arrived at noon, Chen Lang received the generals in the big tent. He ordered the generals to prepare for battle and to attack the Union Army tomorrow morning. The generals returned to their respective camps. Once they returned to their own campsite, many of the generals started to curse, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Lang's commander status. However, they could only vent their anger at their own place. There was no way they would dare to disobey orders. They knew very well that with Chen Lang's viciousness, if they dared to disobey an order, Chen Lang would not show them any mercy.

After Chen Lang returned from the meeting with the generals, he immediately returned to the Luoyang's residence. Not long after, a person dressed in the attire of a eunuch walked out from the back door. It was Chen Lang, who was disguised as a eunuch.

Relying on the identity token that Zhang Yong gave him, Chen Lang successfully entered the Imperial Palace, and directly entered the cold palace.

When Empress Dowager He saw Chen Lang, she couldn't help but feel her heart throbbing with happiness, and immediately threw herself into his arms! Her jade-like arms were intertwined as she rippled in the autumn air, looking like she couldn't wait to go to Wu Mountain together. Chen Lang used a huge amount of willpower to push Empress Dowager He away and said, "Empress Dowager, the time to expel Dong Zhuo is right in front of us!" When Empress Dowager He heard this, she gave a start before revealing an expression of pleasant surprise. She asked anxiously, "Is what the general said true!?"
