Chapter 21: Preemptive strike

Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived at ......"

As this voice slowly sounded, the entire hall suddenly fell silent, and at this time, the new emperor Liu Wei also slowly walked in from the back of the hall and sat on the golden dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Ladies and gentlemen, be even."

The new emperor Liu Wei glanced at the people in the court slightly, and then said slowly: "What can the ministers discuss in the court today?" ”

After all, everyone knows that today's protagonists are only Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and no one dares to break into the limelight at this time, after all, if one of these two people is not pleasing to the eye, it is not impossible to directly accept his life.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Dong Zhuo also glanced at Ding Yuan, he knew that Ding Yuan would definitely make things difficult for him today, so Dong Zhuo thought for a while, and then stepped forward directly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do with Your Majesty." ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little puzzled, shouldn't Ding Yuan make things difficult for Dong Zhuo today? Could it be that Dong Zhuo wants to strike first?

Ding Yuan also turned his head, and looked at Dong Zhuo with some surprise, he didn't expect Dong Zhuo's behavior, it stands to reason that his situation today should be very passive.

"Dong Xiangguo, please speak." The new emperor Liu Wei was also stunned, and asked slowly with a frown.

"Hehehe...... A few days ago, General Ding discussed the war in Liangzhou with His Majesty, as well as Chen Yi and others, and the minister went back and thought about it carefully, and General Ding's method was really inappropriate. ”

Hearing this, Ding Yuan frowned, listening to Dong Zhuo's posture, it seems that it is really as he expected, Dong Zhuo really wants to repay the debt!

"Why? Dong Xiangguo is the pillar of my Han country, and now that the country is in trouble, I also ask Dong Xiangguo to focus on the country's society of the Han Dynasty! Liu Wei was also taken aback, but he still said to Dong Zhuo in a low voice.

"Hehehe...... Returning to Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said, the minister deserves it, and he should take the lead for my Han people, take the lead in going to Liangzhou, accompany my Liangzhou soldiers to fight bloody battles, and try their best to recover the Liangzhou territory of our Han Dynasty.

But...... Your Majesty, Luoyang is the capital of my Han Dynasty, the center of my Han Dynasty, and now the minister has received the news, Yuan Shao has returned to Hebei, and is reorganizing the army at the moment, it is very likely that after a while, Yuan Shao will suppress Luoyang with a large army, if the minister leaves Luoyang at this time, wouldn't it be that Luoyang City is in danger, then the minister ...... But it is the sin of the Han Dynasty.

And what General Ding said ......"

Dong Zhuo stopped, turned his head to look at Ding Yuan, and couldn't help but smile and said: "General Ding is in Bingzhou, but he is quite majestic, General Ding has been guarding the northern border for so many years, so that the Huns are frightened, leading the troops to fight is easy, and the soldiers are all admired, plus I heard that General Ding has two fierce generals in his hands, one is General Wei Zhang Liao, and the other is Captain Lu Bu, both of whom are brave and good at fighting, strong in martial arts, and invincible on the battlefield, and these two can succumb to the hands of General Ding. It is conceivable that General Ding's impatience is already above Dong Zhuo!

So...... Dong Zhuo was willing to hand over the military power of Liangzhou, and asked General Ding to take these Liangzhou soldiers to the battlefield together and return a complete country to the Han Dynasty. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire hall became more solemn, and everyone did not expect that it should have been Dong Zhuo's disadvantage today, but when Dong Zhuo said this, it seemed that it was Ding Yuan who was leaving Luoyang.

And Dong Zhuo's words were also deeply rooted in the hearts of some officials who had just stood on Ding Yuan's side, because if Ding Yuan left, then they would have no class to rely on, and they could only let Dong Zhuo be slaughtered at will......

Dong Xiangguo's words are quite reasonable, and the minister ...... Seconded. However, just when everyone was stunned, Sikong Yang Biao suddenly stood up and said loudly to the new emperor Liu Biao.

"Dong Xiangguo is far-sighted, and he thinks about my big man, and the minister seconds it."

Just after Sikong Yang Biao stood up, several more officials came out one after another, and they stood up one after another to the new emperor Liu Wei and seconded it.

Seeing this, the new emperor Liu Wei was suddenly a little at a loss, cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, his eyes were at a loss, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Liu Wei panicked, really panicked.

He originally thought that he was here to make things difficult for Dong Zhuo today, but he didn't expect Dong Zhuo to strike first, and he also brought a large number of officials, and if Ding Yuan left, I am afraid that he would be the emperor...... It's like a puppet, with no real power at all.

Because...... Dong Zhuo couldn't trust him anymore.

And just when the new emperor Liu Wei was flustered, Ding Yuan's face was also very embarrassed, and then he slowly stood up and said to the new emperor Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, what Dong Xiangguo said...... It doesn't make sense. ”

"You ......" The new emperor Liu Wei thought that Ding Yuan was going to change his hexagram at this time, and he was suddenly shocked.

However, Ding Yuan shook his head at him next, and then slowly continued: "What Dong Xiangguo said is extremely true, now that my Han Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, Yuan Shao ...... It's really a variable! And Dong Xiangguo is indeed right, I have two capable people under my command, one is Zhang Liao, the word is far away, but Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, these two people are excellent in martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and they are quite general-style on the battlefield. ”

Ding Yuan knew very well at this moment that since Dong Zhuo had united so many officials, he would inevitably not settle the matter, and I am afraid that he would not give up.

He suddenly realized that he was wrong and made a fatal mistake, that is, he underestimated the loyalty of these people behind Dong Zhuo to Dong Zhuo, which was definitely very deep.

And he, this has just returned to Luoyang, although he also has a large number of officials under his hands to support, but his relationship with these people is still not as close as Dong Zhuo's relationship with them.

For example, just now, Dong Zhuo suddenly attacked him Ding Yuan, and those people behind him have not yet stood up to resist, which makes Ding Yuan deeply realize that Dong Zhuo is indeed covering the sky with one hand in the imperial court.

However, Ding Yuan also knew very well in his heart that at this time, he must not leave so easily.

Therefore, Ding Yuan continued: "However, the minister now knows that his physical strength is not as good as it was back then, why not according to what Dong Xiangguo said, let my guard general Zhang Liao serve as the main general, hand over the Liangzhou military power in Dong Xiangguo's hands to Wen Yuan, and let him go to Liangzhou to lead the troops to fight, I don't know what Dong Xiangguo thinks?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and everyone already understood, it seems that Ding Yuan already knew that he couldn't get rid of Dong Zhuo, so he didn't take away the military power in Liangzhou in Dong Zhuo's hands, and handed it over to Zhang Liao under his command, so that Ding Yuan didn't have to leave Luoyang, and also weakened Dong Zhuo's influence to a certain extent, so that the officials who were standing behind Ding Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that they are still with the right person.

"General Ding, you ......" Dong Zhuo was suddenly furious, but he saw Ding Yuan's expressionless appearance again, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and then looked at the new emperor Liu Wei.

Seeing this, the new emperor Liu Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, his frowning brows gradually eased, and he said with a smile: "What General Ding said is very true, Dong Xiangguo, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt extremely unhappy, after all, although he did not leave Luoyang, but the Liangzhou military power in his hand had seen Zhang Liao, the general of the guard under Ding Yuan, in vain, which made Dong Zhuo feel a little unwilling.

However, at this time, Dong Zhuo really couldn't think of any reason to prevaricate everyone, and after thinking for a while, Dong Zhuo slowly narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Minister, obey Your Majesty's holy decree." ”

"Hahaha...... Since this is the case, then I will make Zhang Liao the general of Xiaocai, and I will go to Liangzhou from now on...... Suppress the rebels in Liangzhou, recover the territory of Liangzhou, and return the territory of the Han Dynasty. ”

......

Luoyang City, the gate of the Imperial Palace.

After retiring from the dynasty, Dong Zhuo was very unhappy in his heart, he left the main hall alone in a sullen manner, quickly came to the gate of the palace, and got into the carriage directly.

"Ding Yuan, I went to Nima, and I caused Lao Tzu to lose the military power of Liangzhou." Dong Zhuo scolded loudly, startling the coachman of Xiangguo's mansion.

Dong Zhuo looked at him and shouted loudly: "Look at what, go home." ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo jumped directly into the carriage and rushed back towards Xiangguo's Mansion, and then, he suddenly said: "Forget it, change the route and go to Chenliu Palace." ”

......

After Dong Zhuo left, other courtiers also came out one after another.

Most of them left without changing their faces.

However, there were a few people who smiled no wonder and followed behind Ding Yuan, congratulating Ding Yuan with a flattering smile.

"Hehehe...... General Ding's subordinates are capable, and if you have time, you must visit General Xiaocai! ”

"Yes, I have long heard that the general is brave and good at fighting, and he is a majestic general in Bingzhou."

“......”

Looking at everyone's flattering looks, Ding Yuan felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it at this time, because although he was powerful, it was impossible for him to fight Dong Zhuo alone, so he had to rely on them.

"Hehehe...... Then why don't you come to my Ding Mansion tonight, I personally set up a table for Wen Yuan, and you also come to drink a glass of Zhuangxing wine for Wen Yuan, how about it? Ding Yuan smiled and invited.

Because now Li Yuzhu has gained the trust of these people and let them know that he, Ding Yuan, is their backer.

Hearing this, everyone also smiled and nodded in agreement.

This is also an opportunity for them, an opportunity to get close to Ding Yuan, and an opportunity to get acquainted with Zhang Liao, a cavalry general.
