Chapter 134: Farewell, Luoyang
October 1st, heavy rain.
In the front hall of Chongde in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the abolition ceremony was held, and the Taifu Yuan Kui helped the Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei down from the emperor's throne, lifted the jade seal and the seal and handed it over to Liu Xie, and then helped Liu Xie to officially ascend the throne, which was to present the emperor for the Han Dynasty.
Dong Zhuo stood at the forefront of the ministers of civil and military affairs, took the lead in shouting long live, and kowtowed. Although Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was only eight years old, he was already doing a good job.
The emperor is young, and the power is naturally in Dong Zhuo's hands.
Dong Zhuo talked in public about the responsibility of the Empress Dowager He for killing the Empress Dowager Dong, dismissed her as the Empress Dowager, moved into Yong'an Palace, and deposed Liu Wei as the King of Hongnong.
October 3rd, heavy rain.
Fearing that there would be complications, Dong Zhuo gave poisoned wine and poisoned the Empress Dowager He to death in the palace.
The imperial court was not allowed to hold a funeral for the empress dowager, but let the emperor Liu Xie go to the Fengchang Pavilion in the city to express condolences, and the ministers wore white clothes to the court for three days.
On October 12, the imperial court made Liu Yu, the pastor and lieutenant of Youzhou, who was far away in Youzhou, the great Sima, rank above the three dukes.
This move was just to give up the position of Tai Lieutenant to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was changed from Sikong to Tai Lieutenant, and concurrently led the former general, added a section, and was named the Marquis.
Feng Ding was originally a guard lieutenant and a general of the guard, and was named the Marquis of Jinyang; Feng Lu Bu was the general of the chariot cavalry, and he was also the governor of the state, and the marquis of Yunzhong; Feng Yuanshu was named the rear general.
At the end of October, Dong Zhuo, together with Situ Huang Wan and Sikong Yang Biao, came to the court to demand the rehabilitation of Chen Fan, Dou Wu, who were condemned as traitors by the first emperor during the coup d'Γ©tat in the first year of Jianning, and all the many party members who were arrested and killed in the second party rebellion.
Under the guidance of Yuan Kui, Emperor Liu Xiezhuo of the Han Dynasty restored the titles of Chen Fan and others, and promoted their descendants to officials.
Dong Zhuo recruited many celebrities to enter the court as officials, Han Rong, Chen Ji, Xun Shuang, Cai Yong, Wu Qiong and others all became Dong Zhuo's staff, and selected a large number of celebrities to serve as local assassins and county guards, such as Han Fu, Liu Dai, Zhang Shi, Zhang Miao and others.
On November 3, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the burial of Empress Dowager He's body to open the Wenling Mausoleum of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and made a crazy move to steal the treasures in it.
He also indulged his soldiers to rob rich households, loot property, and even rape ** women in Luoyang City.
When robbing the shops of the Bingzhou merchant group and being a street rape ** girl, he clashed with Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, which seriously violated the military discipline of the Bingzhou army.
And the soldiers of the Bingzhou army in Luoyang City are actually the elite of the Dangkou cavalry, and they have taught these arrogant Liangzhou soldiers a good lesson.
There were two group fights, the first, outside the shop of the merchant group in the state, fifteen to fifty, but the result was a casualty ratio of 0 to 23.
The second larger-scale group fight took place in the middle of Dong Zhuo's mansion and Lu Bu's mansion, and the patrolling Bingzhou army encountered the Xiliang army who was a street traitor.
Without saying a word, the Bingzhou Army just drew its swords against each other, although the Xiliang Army called more people, but the Bingzhou Army also released a salute to call the police.
Three hundred against eight hundred, not only fists, broadswords, and daggers were also used, but this time the record was thirty to five hundred and fifty, and only thirty of the state army were wounded, not dead.
The Bingzhou army strictly abides by Lu Bu's military orders, maintains military discipline, and is ruthless when attacking, and will not be soft on the Liangzhou soldiers who dare to break military discipline.
These two group fights, especially the second large-scale armed fight, put the Bingzhou army and Dong Zhuojun in a serious state of confrontation, and the lower-level officers and soldiers on both sides were tense.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were relatively restrained, did not escalate the conflict, and did not fight again.
At the end of November, Dong Zhuo ordered the recall of Huangfu Song, who was far away in Sanfu, relieved him of his military power, and sent his own generals to incorporate Huangfu Song's army.
Dong Zhuo took this opportunity to unify the Sanfu region and the counties of Wuwei, Longxi, Anding, and Beidi in Liangzhou, and obtained nearly 100,000 troops from Guanzhong and Liangzhou in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of December, Dong Zhuo's generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others led the Guanliang army to Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo received reinforcements from 80,000 Guanliang troops at once, plus the subordinates who originally received He Jin and He Miao, the total strength was close to 150,000.
Feeling that his waist was very hard, Dong Zhuo began to ignore Lu Bu anymore.
On January 3, 189 AD, Dong Zhuo simply worshiped himself as the prime minister, and had the privilege of "entering the court and going to the temple with a sword", that is, when he went to the palace, he could walk with his waist straight, and he did not have to take off his shoes and remove his sword.
At this point, Dong Zhuo's power in the court is already about to cover the sky with one hand. When Yu Shi visited Dong Zhuo, he forgot to disarm his sword, and the crazy Dong Zhuo took advantage of the problem to play and beat him to death.
He also sent someone to kill Empress Dowager He's mother, Wuyangjun, and dug up He Miao's body and dismembered it.
Such crazy actions made many ministers in the court disgusted with Dong Zhuo, and they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they fled one after another, such as Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang, and Cao Cao fled back to Chen Liu's hometown.
Lu Bu consulted with Jia Xu and thought that the time was ripe to leave Luoyang, so he used the excuse of going out of the city to hunt, led the guard group to protect Ding Yuan, Chan'er left Luoyang and went to Mengjin, but his father-in-law Wang Yun refused to leave and insisted on staying.
The helpless Chan'er could only say goodbye to her father with tears, but she didn't know that this farewell was an eternal separation.
Looking at the tall city walls of Luoyang City, which looked like a man-eating beast from a distance, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, I'm afraid this is the last time I will see this majestic Luoyang City, and the future accident will destroy everything in front of him.
Goodbye, Luoyang!
Wiping away the tears from the corners of Chan'er's eyes, Lu Bu was also a little touching, "I can't play songs, quietly I am a parting sheng flute; Xia Worm is also silent for me, and silence is Luoyang tonight; Quietly I went, as quietly I came; I wave my sleeves and don't take away a cloud! β
"Lang Jun, is this a poem you made? It's so good!" Chan'er no longer had tears, but was immersed in this beautiful poem.
Although Lu Bu was thick-skinned, he didn't dare to say that this was his original, he just said that this was a ballad from his hometown! It's just a matter of touching the scene yourself.
When Dong Zhuo heard that Lu Bu was leading his troops out of the city, he judged that Lu Bu was going to run, and he was hesitating whether to lead the army out of the city to pursue, taking this opportunity to solve this big problem once and for all.
Tanma reported that 10,000 cavalry of the Bingzhou army had appeared outside the city, and they had joined Lu Bu's convoy and were rushing to Mengjin.
Dong Zhuo is still quite jealous of the combat power of the Bingzhou army, two thousand people, he can eat it in one bite, 12,000 Bingzhou cavalry, I am afraid that he does not have that tooth, it seems that Lu Bu has already prepared.
Anyway, Lu Bu is gone, and there is no one to compete with in the DPRK and China, and he is even more handy in doing things.
At this point, the calls for crusading against Dong Zhuo in various places have become increasingly loud, and Yuan Shao is the most appealing figure among them.
is not only because of his family background, but also because of his merit in killing eunuchs and his courage not to cooperate with Dong Zhuo.
He began to recruit troops in Bohai County, and sent letters to heroes and heroes from all directions.
Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun even pretended to be the third prince and wrote letters to various states and counties, listing Dong Zhuo's crimes, saying, "Persecuted by Dong Zhuo, there is no way to save himself, and he is desperate for volunteers to save the country from danger." β
The county guards of all states and counties in the world received the letter and responded one after another. Jizhou Mu Hanfu first wrote to Yuan Shao, expressing his support for him to raise troops to fight Dong, and was willing to send troops and food!
