It turned out that as soon as Dong Zhuo heard that Emperor Ling had died, he took three thousand iron horsemen and went straight to Luoyang. Hua Xiong was the vanguard, he heard the report of his scouts, and found a convoy parked on the bank of the Yellow River. As a result, he just saved Liu Wei, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu arrived with their troops, and when they saw Liu Wei in Hua Xiong's arms, they immediately shouted: "Wu! The thief is not going to let go of His Majesty the Emperor yet. Don't you want to punish the nine clans? ”

Before Hua Xiong could speak, a crowd poured out behind him, and one of them shouted loudly: "The Sprinkle family is Xiliang Dong Zhuo, and he was ordered to come to the rescue!" Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the car? After speaking, he walked out of the crowd, then turned over and dismounted to take the Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei from Hua Xiong, and handed him back to the Empress Dowager He in the carriage. Empress Dowager He had restored the dignity of the Empress Dowager at this time, and when she saw Dong Zhuo handing Liu Bi over, she hurriedly reached out and hugged Liu Bi with her arms. After seeing the appearance of Empress Dowager He, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up. secretly said in his heart: She is worthy of being a woman who has been a queen, and she is really beautiful.

Empress Dowager He was shocked when she saw Dong Zhuo's aggressive gaze, she snorted coldly and immediately lowered the car curtain and hugged Liu Weido back to the car. Dong Zhuo naturally heard Empress Dowager He's cold snort, and sneered in his heart: "It's just that a widow still dares to look down on the Sprinkle family, sooner or later, I will let you know how powerful the Sprinkle family is." ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not dare to offend Dong Zhuo on the surface. But the two of them looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that it was also the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and it was indeed not comparable to Dong Zhuo's Chengliang family. However, this Xiliang Iron Cavalry is something that these weak soldiers in Guanzhong can resist, so the two of them are neither enthusiastic nor provoked by Dong Zhuo.

Now seeing that the ten permanent servants Zhang Rang and Duan Qi died, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu returned to Luoyang with their men and Dong Zhuo to protect the emperor and his party.

Without saying anything all the way, the people entered Luoyang City early the next morning, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu escorted the emperor and the queen mother back to the palace, and Dong Zhuo led people to his residence. When he entered the lobby, he sat on the main seat and was silent, obviously angered by the attitude of the Yuan brothers and the Empress Dowager He.

At this time, a person came in from outside the door, and the roe head rat in this life, a pair of mustaches was particularly conspicuous. After coming in, he saw Dong Zhuo's gloomy face at a glance, so he took two steps and said, "Father-in-law, what's wrong?" "The person who came was none other than Dong Zhuo's second son-in-law, Li Ru and Li Wenyou. Although this Li Ru is not good-looking, he is indeed a ruthless person.

"Wen You, the Queen Mother and the Yuan family, both look down on the Sprinkle family, you say you can't be angry!" Dong Zhuo said in a deep voice to this person.

"My father-in-law is worried, and Wen You is here to offer advice to his father-in-law. The father-in-law's iron cavalry will not arrive in five days, but the father-in-law can order his three thousand iron cavalry to leave quietly when the sun is ugly, and then come to the army with great fanfare when the time comes. When others see that their father-in-law has many soldiers, they will not dare to underestimate you. Five days later, 200,000 iron cavalry will be under the city, and everything will be under the control of my father-in-law. Li Ru's eyes shot a strange light, and he said excitedly.

Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this: "It's worthy of my son, this plan is very good!" That's a great plan! So in the next few days, Dong Zhuo arranged for 3,000 people to leave quietly every night according to Li Ru's strategy, and returned to Luoyang from the main road in the morning. When the ministers of the court saw that Dong Zhuo had a team of people arriving every day, they all felt a lot of pressure. Dong Zhuo, who held a "heavy" soldier, did not dare to offend.

Even the Empress Dowager He had to put away her contempt for Dong Zhuo, personally ordered him to reward him, and appointed him as the pastor of Liangzhou and the Taishou of Hedong.

Yuan Shao was standing in front of an old man at this time, this person was the actual helmsman of the Yuan family, Yuan Kui, one of the three princes of the imperial court. "Uncle, this Dong Zhuo has iron horses coming every day, and there are at least tens of thousands of horses for three consecutive days." Yuan Shao said worriedly.

"Hmph, it's just a suspicious tactic! His soldiers are indeed here, but it will take two days to reach Luoyang City, and now it is just to deter me and wait! Yuan Kui said with a smile.

"Uncle even so. With this defender of Luoyang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist this Xiliang Iron Cavalry! Yuan Shao said anxiously.

"What's the panic? Those who do great things are Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, and their faces are not more colorful. I have secretly contacted Ding Yuan, and with his 100,000 wolf cavalry and 50,000 defenders in the city, I can deal with Dong Zhuo. Yuan Kui said slowly. Now that the eunuchs and relatives have all been wiped out, why should our party shine, remember not to make any mistakes. ”

Yuan Shao nodded yes after hearing this, and then bowed and retreated. On the other side, Cao Cao was pacing back and forth in the mansion, feeling very anxious. There was not much time for a scribe to come in from outside the door, and he saw Cao Cao arching his hand and said, "Brother Meng De urgently summoned me here, I don't know what important things to discuss?" ”

This scribe is Xun Yu Zi Wenruo. Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan Xun, after Xunzi. His grandfather, Xun Shu, was well-known in the world and was known as the Divine Monarch. Xun Shu has eight sons, known as the Eight Dragons. Xun Yu's father Xun Qi once served as the minister of Jinan, and his uncle Xun Shuang served as Sikong. Xun Yu was afraid of the eunuchs, so he asked Xun Yu to marry the daughter of Tang Heng, who was often servant in the middle school. Because Xun Yu was famous when he was young, he was free from ridicule from others. Later, He Hao, a famous man in Nanyang, was surprised when he saw Xun Yu and said: "This is Wang Zuozhi's talent!" Now he is promoted to filial piety and appointed to the post of palace commander. This palace order was the official position in charge of the emperor's pen, ink, paper, and other items.

Cao Cao knew that Xun Yu was talented, so he made friends many times and finally became close friends with him. No, since Dong Zhuo entered the city, Cao Cao felt bad, so he hurriedly asked Xun Yu to talk about it. "Brother Wen Ruo, the dark tide in Luoyang is turbulent today, I don't know where to go, and I still ask Wen Ruo to teach me."

"Brother Meng De, you still don't know what to do! The same is naturally true for the younger brother. Xun Yu thought for a moment and then said. But now that Luoyang has become a place of right and wrong, if there is a change, it is better to get out as soon as possible. ”

"This ......," Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and continued, "Is it really so serious?" ”

Xun Yu nodded and said, "If I am not mistaken, then Dong Zhuo must have a master behind him." Otherwise, with his martial arts, he would be able to understand this suspicious strategy. He would rather resist the decree than leave Luoyang, and his ambitions were clearly revealed. In a few days, when his army arrives, it will be the moment when he reveals his true colors! ”

"When I wanted to exterminate the Yellow Turban, I had a relationship with Dong Zhuo, this person seems to be vulgar, but in fact he is quite scheming. Now that he has a heavy army, his ambition will inevitably swell, but this is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it is not his turn to be a good son of a border city to come here to make a fortune. Even the Yuan family will not be good with him. Cao Cao said what he thought.

"Humph! Yuan family! If it weren't for the Yuan family's faint moves, this Dong Zhuoyan would have been able to come to Luoyang. But Brother Meng De, what you said is right, if Dong Zhuo wants to take the throne, he will have a battle with the Yuan family! Xun Yu said firmly.
