Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.

There is a large hall in the palace, and the atmosphere in it is quite solemn at this time, because at this moment, the people in the room are all serious, and they are a little helpless about national affairs.

In the hall, the new emperor Liu Wei looked at a few people in the room, and couldn't help but feel a little sad, and finally asked helplessly again: "Ladies and gentlemen, can't you think of any way to fill the emptiness of the treasury?" ”

It turned out that the traitors of the Han Dynasty have been around recently, in order to exterminate these traitors, the imperial court has sent troops out to fight many times, but the war consumes a lot of grain and grass, coupled with the influence of the recent weather, the imperial court can only collect a large amount of people's grain after the autumn harvest.

However, this is not a foolproof strategy after all, the people of the Han Dynasty have reached the extreme, but today's imperial court is still very empty, and even some officials' salaries have begun to be in arrears.

Therefore, early in the morning, the new emperor Liu Wei called Situ Wang Yun, Xiangguo Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, and Taichang Liang Jian, who was at the head of Jiuqing, to discuss the matter together.

The people who were called were all full of sorrow, but it was difficult to find a reason to deal with this matter for a while.

At this time, Ding Yuan glanced at Dong Zhuo, and then stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the people today can no longer afford to pay taxes, and if they raise taxes, I am afraid it will be a wrath of heaven and resentment!

Therefore, we can only advocate frugality and do not carry out a lot of expensive things, and now our Han is the most expensive is the Liangzhou War.

From the beginning to the present, the imperial court has continued to send grain and grass to Liangzhou, and this huge amount of money has seriously dragged down the entire imperial court......"

"General Ding, what do you mean by this? Don't you want me to withdraw my troops, let the traitors in Liangzhou leave it alone, and let them swallow the rivers and mountains of my Han Dynasty? ”

Hearing Ding Yuan's words, Dong Zhuo's face suddenly changed, and he directly interrupted his words, and then asked.

"Hehehe......" Ding Yuan brushed the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Ding Yuan didn't mean this, but on the contrary, Ding Yuan meant that he hoped to be able to recover the Liangzhou realm as soon as possible and give my Han a chance to recuperate." ”

"Hmph...... That's good, General Ding must know that you are also a person who has been on the battlefield, and in the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, how can it be said that it can be recovered. Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"Don't blame Dong Xiangguo, before Ding Yuan felt that when Dong Xiangguo was stationed in Liangzhou, everything was fine in Liangzhou, and later Liangzhou rebelled, Dong Xiangguo also recovered it, but later Dong Xiangguo returned to Luoyang City, and the Liangzhou soldiers were suddenly ownerless, and they were defeated on the battlefield again and again.

Therefore, I have the courage to propose to His Majesty that Dong Xiangguo go to Xiliang again and lead the troops to fight, hoping to recover the territory of Liangzhou as soon as possible. ”

As soon as Ding Yuan's words came out, Dong Zhuo couldn't help frowning, and he realized that Ding Yuan's purpose was to drive him out of Luoyang City.

The fox's tail was exposed. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sneer, and said: "General Ding, you are still a general who has been on the battlefield, do you know that the safety of Luoyang City now depends on Dong Zhuo alone, if Dong Zhuo leaves at this time, wouldn't it put Luoyang City in danger?" ”

Hearing this, Ding Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Hehehe...... Dong Xiangguo is really for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and he is unremitting to the death, but since Dong Xiangguo is so optimistic about the safety of Luoyang City, why not let Ding Yuan replace Dong Xiangguo to garrison Luoyang? ”

"You ......"

Dong Zhuo was suddenly shocked, it turned out to be ...... This is Ding Yuan's real purpose, Ding Yuan is forcing him to hand over the Luoyang military power, which makes Dong Zhuo secretly scold Ding Yuan's ancestors for the eighteen generations.

At this time, the new emperor Liu Wei, who was watching the play on the side, suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, he naturally supported Ding Yuan in this matter, so he hurriedly smiled: "What General Ding said is very true, Dong Xiangguo, I also feel that if you go to Liangzhou in person, it will definitely inspire the officers and soldiers of our army and recover Liangzhou as soon as possible!"

And the safety of Luoyang City, if Dong Xiangguo temporarily handed over the military power of Luoyang to General Ding, and when Dong Xiangguo returned triumphantly, he would return it to Dong Xiangguo, how about it? ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo looked at the new emperor Liu Bian, who was falling into the well at this time, and couldn't help but look extremely ugly, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Although he said so, if he really did what the new emperor Liu Wei said, I am afraid that when the time comes to return triumphantly, it will be another kind of rhetoric, and the situation of the battle in Liangzhou is unknown, and Dong Zhuo has no confidence that he can end this war as soon as possible.

However, for a while, Dong Zhuo couldn't think of any reason to refuse, which made him scold Ding Yuan again in his heart: Old fox.

Finally, after thinking for a moment, he said: "This matter is very important, it is related to the safety of the entire Han Dynasty, and I also ask Your Majesty Rongchen to consider it." ”

Seeing this, the new emperor Liu Wei was happy, and it seemed that there was a play, so he laughed: "Hahaha...... Dong Xiangguo cares so much about my Han country, so I ...... Give you three days, and after three days, please Dong Xiangguo must make a perfect answer! ”

"That'...... The minister retired first. Dong Zhuo heard the smiling voice of the new emperor Liu Wei, and his face turned pale immediately, and then he retreated directly.

And after that, Situ Wang Yun and Taichang Liang Jian also found a reason and slowly retreated.

At this time, in the entire hall, there were only two people left, Ding Yuan and the new emperor Liu Wei.

The two of them looked at each other very tacitly and smiled, and then nodded slightly.

"General Ding, you say...... Will Dong Zhuo hand over Luoyang's military power? The new emperor Liu Wei asked Ding Yuan.

It turned out that in fact, Ding Yuan's difficulties with Dong Zhuo at this time today were discussed with the new emperor Liu Wei in advance, and after Ding Yuan talked with Zhang Yang, the Marquis of Jinyang, Ding Yuan came to find the new emperor Liu Zhuo, ready to take action against Dong Zhuo's Luoyang military power.

In this regard, the new emperor Liu Wei was also overjoyed, after all, this move was also a very powerful measure to combat Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, the new emperor Liu Wei was very much in agreement with Ding Yuan's strategy, so he quickly sent someone to call these people over this morning to discuss the matter.

As for the emptiness of the treasury, as long as Dong Zhuo leaves, it is not too late to discuss a solution!

"Hehehe...... It shouldn't be that easy. Ding Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued: "After all, Dong Zhuo has led troops to fight for many years and knows the importance of military power, so Dong Zhuo will definitely find a reason to shirk after three days. ”

Hearing Ding Yuan's speculation, the new emperor Liu Wei also nodded very approvingly, and then said with some worry: "Then how should we let him hand over the Luoyang military power?" ”

"Hehehe...... Luoyang military power, any army is called by the military talisman, if three days later Dong Zhuo in front of everyone in the court, shirk, please also ask His Majesty to promise him, let Dong Zhuo take the Luoyang military power of the military talisman to Liangzhou together, and for Dong Zhuo, as long as he holds the talisman, he has no reason to shirk this matter again.

And after that, as long as Dong Zhuo leaves Luoyang, then Ding Yuan will have a way to control the army in Luoyang City, and when the time comes, ...... Even if Dong Zhuo came back, then he was just an empty shelf. ”

"Forehead...... The new emperor Liu Wei frowned and asked, "Is General Ding sure that he will be able to control Luoyang's army at that time?" ”

The new emperor Liu Wei suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, after all, if the army in Luoyang City got out of control because of Ding Yuan, I am afraid that the entire Luoyang would be in danger.

"Hehehe...... This is still Your Majesty's rest assured, when the ministers fought against the Northern Huns in the state, they led the troops to fight all the year round, led the army for thousands of miles, and there was never a soldier who could not surrender, not to mention these soldiers who were pampered in Luoyang City. Regarding what the new emperor Liu Wei was worried about, Ding Yuan couldn't help but smile and said.

Ding Yuan is still quite confident in this, after all, he has been dealing with the army for so many years, if he can't solve this matter, I'm afraid that his exploits when he merged the state will not be as brilliant as now.

"In that case, then I'm relieved, hahaha......"

"Hehehe......"

In the main hall, there was a loud laughter of the two of them.

......

Luoyang City, Ding Mansion.

Recently, Lu Bu was very depressed, he didn't understand Ding Yuan's recent actions, and he and Zhang Liao followed Ding Yuan back to Luoyang City.

However, every time Ding Yuan went out, he just took Zhang Liao with him, and then let himself stay in Ding's mansion, which was called "guarding the house", which made Lu Bu very disappointed.

He originally thought that Ding Yuan took him back to Luoyang to take him to make meritorious contributions and get promoted to make a fortune, but now that he is staying in Ding's mansion, he is really a little bored.

He sometimes thinks it's better not to come back, after all, he was in the barracks at the beginning, but he was still a boss, a good wine, a beautiful woman...... There is nothing lacking, there is nothing to want, but now, it is very constrained.

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly heard the sound of a carriage at the door.

"General Ding is back."

Lu Bu was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the gate of Ding's mansion, and saw Ding Yuan's carriage.

In front of the carriage, Zhang Liao held a silver spear in his hand and rode a reddish-brown horse, showing a sassy and heroic posture, which made De Lu Bu really hot and envious.

Ding Yuan slowly stepped out of the carriage, and Lu Bu hurriedly followed: "General Ding, you are back." ”

Hearing this, Ding Yuan glanced at Lu Bu and nodded with a smile: "Well, everything is okay in the house?" ”

"Hehehe...... Okay! Now General Ding is powerful and high, but no one dares to come to Ding's Mansion to spread wilderness. Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Hmm." Ding Yuan nodded slowly, and then without saying more, he slowly walked into Ding's mansion.

And behind it, Zhang Liao followed closely......
