In March, spring is in full swing.

Chen Cangcheng.

After the battle, there was a scene of chaos and depression everywhere, although the Xiliang rebels had been defeated, but the traces they left on the city walls were particularly distinct, and the houses in the city that were affected by the war became a land of ruins.

East of the city, Guanzhong military camp.

General Zuo Huangfu Song sat on top of the high position, on his left and right sides, and the generals of the Guanzhong Army sat down, but their expressions were a little gloomy.

"Father, this Dong Zhongying has always been unwilling to hand over his military power before the Holy Will, and it seems that he doesn't take the court in his eyes!"

Huangfu Li stood up and arched his hand and said, "It's better to take the opportunity to get rid of him!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

Huangfu Song glanced at his son and said indifferently: "I am a courtier with Dong Zhuo, and I led the troops to repel the Xiliang rebels, he is a general of the imperial court, how can I send troops to destroy him without asking the reason, what kind of system will it become!" ”

"General, but now Dong Zhongying does not respect the edict of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven appointed him as the pastor of the state and asked him to hand over the military power, but he took office in the state, but he has always been stranded, and the Huangzhong righteousness in his hand, Xiliang Tieqi is unwilling to hand it over after all!"

A general said: "There is obviously a heart of disobedience to the holy will, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not merge with the rebels and fight back against the imperial court!" ”

"That's right!"

"This man is a wolf with ambition!"

"In the past, when we pursued the rebels, we should have been completely annihilated, but because of the gap we left, we let the rebels return to Xiliang, but we failed to complete the battle, I'm afraid he has already connected with the rebels!"

“……“

The generals spoke one after another.

These generals are all sons and daughters of the Guanzhong family, and the Guanzhong army is tens of thousands, and it was Huangfu Song who used the influence of the Guanzhong family to recruit them, and they were naturally influenced by the Guanzhong family.

"Wait, don't say much!"

Huangfu Song shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to use the sword soldiers, in the first battle of Chencang, my soldiers in Guanzhong have already suffered a lot of casualties, and the current combat effectiveness is less than seventy or eighty percent, and the Liangzhou army, not to mention Dong Zhuo's most elite flying bear iron cavalry, is already standing in the Huangzhong Yicong composed of those Qiang people, if it starts, it will be defeated!" ”

It's not that he doesn't want to fight.

But Dong Zhuo's strength is not below him.

Moreover, in the battle of Chencang, he contributed more strength, and the casualties under his command were relatively large, but Dong Zhuo, although he only assisted in the battle, he relied on his Xiliang background to collect a large number of prisoners, and expanded a lot of strength, and his strength did not retreat but advanced.

Even if he has the confidence to deal with it, it can only be a lose-lose situation.

The most important thing is that others don't know the movements of the court now, but he knows it.

The general He Jin admonished the North Palace.

The Son of Heaven was trapped in the North Palace, and the government had fallen into the hands of the general He Jin, Dong Zhuo was the general of the general He Jin, and he threw himself under the door of the general He Jin.

What bothered him the most was this holy decree.

This holy decree was issued by the Son of Heaven when he was in power, but now it is the crown prince and the general who are in power, and the holy decree has become an embarrassing existence.

"Dong Zhuo rebelled against the will, I have been playing the court since I was the court, let the court comment, I am the general of the left of the court, the matter of marching, only the will of the court, without the holy will of the court, you must not send troops to hurt the soldiers of your colleagues, if there is the will of the court, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, do not be cowardly!"

Huangfu Song said: "Pass my order, all battalions in Guanzhong are not allowed to go out of the camp to provoke!" ”

"No!"

The generals had no choice but to accept the order.

……

West of Chencang City, Liangzhou Military Camp.

In the middle camp.

At this moment, one by one Xiliang generals also gathered together, and their faces were also not very good, one by one, they looked at each other, sometimes looking at the expression of the main general Dong Zhuo, and sometimes looking at each other.

Dong Zhuo, whose name is Zhongying, flies high from the barren land of Xiliang, and flies up an eagle, his face is full of beard, his eyes are like copper bells, and his whole body exudes this wild and evil aura, like a fierce beast that can devour people at any time, which makes people shudder.

"Wen Wei, now that the imperial court's holy will has been promulgated for a few days, I am reluctant to hand over the military power, I'm afraid that Huangfu Song will not be able to sit still, if he sends troops to deal with us, how to deal with it!" After half a ring, Dong Zhuo's thunderous voice broke the silence.

After winning this battle, the strength under his command has expanded a lot, and his influence in the entire Xiliang has also increased a lot, which is a good thing.

But a holy decree made his good mood go down the drain.

"Don't worry, lord!"

Dong Zhuo sat beside a cloth-clothed scribe.

This scribe looked inconspicuous at all, dressed in the most ordinary cloth clothes, like a very ordinary and ordinary scholar, but those who were familiar with him knew that this was a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, and he didn't know when he would come out and bite them.

Even these lawless Xiliang generals, when they saw this person, they were a little respectful.

This person is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he is also one of his most trusted advisers, Li Ru and Li Wenwei.

Li Ru bowed and said in a deep voice: "Lord, although the holy will is down, but the lord has a heavy army, Huangfu Song does not dare to move, although Huangfu Song's character is strong, but it is very pedantic, unless he has the holy will of the court to crusade against the lord, otherwise he will not use troops against the lord!" ”

"And what will he do?" General Li Yu asked.

"He will play the court and sue the lord!"

Li Ru opened his mouth and said.

"Sue the lord?"

The generals looked at each other.

General Guo Si frowned and said: "But in this way, doesn't the Son of Heaven think that the lord has the intention of rebelling against the imperial court, and if the edict is issued, won't I be a rebel?" “

The officers and soldiers rebelled against each other, but the difference between the thoughts of the Son of Heaven was just that.

"How can it be so simple!"

Li Ru smiled coldly and said: "The lord is a general's minister, we have taken the path of a general, if the lord becomes a rebel, isn't it a general who is also a rebel, and the general is above the court, he will not let the lord become a rebel!" ”

"But if it goes on like this, we will be very passive!"

Dong Zhuo's other son-in-law, Niu Fu, said.

"So we have to move, completely out of Huangfu Song's sight, so that he is helpless!"

Li Ru turned around, faced Dong Zhuo, and said: "Lord, since the imperial court has appointed you as the pastor of the state, you will have to go north to serve as a successor, and you can lead the army to the north and get out of the sight of Huangfu Song!" ”

"Will Huangfu Song let me lead the army away?"

Dong Zhuo has not yet tasted the power in the future, he is not an arrogant minister, now he is just a cautious military general who came out of Xiliang, he is very calm and deep: "In case I lead my troops to the north, but he pursues in the rear, and strikes back against us, won't we suffer heavy casualties!" ”

The most fearful thing about the march is to expose your back.

"First, Huangfu Song shouldn't do this!"

Li Ru calmly analyzed: "Second, even if he does this, we can deal with it!" ”

He walked out, facing Yutu, and said: "The lord can lead the flying bear camp to the north first, I wait for the break, the lord goes to the east of the river, now there is the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the east of the river, and there is also the oppression of the Huns, the lord can find a reason, call the troops to the north, and then we will take the Huangzhong Yi from the three battalions of Xiliang to the north, the name is justified, and the lord is converging!" ”

"That's great!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes were bright.
