Just when Dong Zhuo was uniting with Empress Dowager He in the court, and the scholars and doctors were constantly dividing up the vacancies left by the deaths of He Jin, Zhang Rang and others, Li Ru quietly went to Wen County in Hanoi County, but it was to persuade Ding Yuan. Previously, Ding Yuan was promoted by He Jin as the captain of Wu Meng, and was ordered to go to Hanoi County to recruit troops, but now the number of troops has reached more than 10,000. Maybe the combat effectiveness is not as good as the Xiyuan Army, but the number of people is what Li Ru values the most at this time.

As for Li Ru's recruitment, Ding Yuan did not hesitate for too long, on the one hand, he himself was not on the right path with the scholars, well, in fact, most of the people from poor and humble backgrounds were basically not on the right path with the scholars and doctors when they were officials. On the other hand, it was Li Ru who promised to promote Ding Yuan as the ruling Jinwu.

Zhi Jinwu is a direct official of the Northern Army, and his status is relatively high, for Ding Yuan, who is from a humble background and has no background, it is a temptation that is very difficult to refuse.

In addition to wooing Ding Yuan, the Taiwei Mansion where Dong Zhuo lives is also constantly in and out of people throughout the day. Among them, there are people who Li Ru has set to vigorously win over, and there are also people who take the initiative to serve, most of them are officials who originally belonged to the He Jin or Zhang Rang faction, and for some reason they are unable or unwilling to serve the family faction headed by Yuan Kui and others, in this case, Dong Zhuo naturally became their only choice.

Regarding the excitement on Dong Zhuo's side, Yuan Kui and the others just watched coldly, without any intention of stopping it. As Li Ru mentioned, Yuan Kui and the others didn't look down on Dong Zhuo at all, and all they were worried about was the troops brought by Dong Zhuo. Of course, this in itself is not an uncommon phenomenon, and it was the same when He Jin first became a general in the past.

However, these things were handed over to Dong Min, Niu Fu and others by Dong Zhuo to deal with, but he himself had a more important thing to do.

Xianyang Garden, this place is an official garden outside the city of Luoyang, and at this time, it was used by Dong Zhuo as a place to settle more than 30,000 troops. After all, with so many foreign troops, it is impossible to enter Luoyang City.

"Captain Dong, I don't know if the subordinate is here, but what's the matter?" Yuan Shao looked at Dong Zhuo and asked respectfully. Although he didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously in his heart, as a child of a family, Yuan Shao's behavior made it impossible to find any fault in the slightest.

"Haha, at the beginning, you were the captain of the Xiyuan Army, and at the same time, you were an excellent disciple of the Yuan family, so Zhuo invited you to come this time, on the one hand, because I wanted to ask you about some court matters, and on the other hand, I also wanted you to take a look at the troops under Zhuo and see if you could give you some advice." Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao glanced at Dong Zhuo strangely, obviously unable to understand how this Dong Zhuo could be so leisurely. However, he still replied respectfully, "Since this is the case, the lower official is offended." As he spoke, he followed Dong Zhuo to continue patrolling around the barracks.

"The soldiers under the command of Captain Dong are indeed worthy of an elite division." After a circle, Yuan Shao said respectfully, but his attitude was much more polite. Yuan Shao and others were already afraid of Dong Zhuo's many soldiers, but now, Yuan Shao found that Dong Zhuo not only had many soldiers, but also was elite, which made him even more jealous of Dong Zhuo.

"After I go back, I must find a way to transfer this unit as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao thought in his heart.

Over there, Dong Zhuo saw Yuan Shao's contemplative appearance, and secretly sneered in his heart, but at the same time, he suddenly said, "The emperor is the lord of the world, and only when the emperor is virtuous can the world be safe." It's just that today's saints are weak and incompetent and have no opinions, so I want to follow the example of Huo Guang of this dynasty, abolish the current saints, and set up King Chen Liu as the emperor instead! Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Shao, who was looking at him dumbfounded, and asked, "I don't know what I thought at the beginning?" ”

"Is this guy crazy?" Yuan Shao thought in shock in his heart, and at the same time quickly responded, "The saint is still young today, and he hasn't done anything evil. If Dong Taiwei insists on going his own way and uses this reason to abolish the throne, I am afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government will not agree. ”

Well, in Yuan Shao's view, there is no difference between Dong Zhuo and crazy, because the reasons he put forward are simply imposed words, after all, a young emperor who is just 13 years old, still under the queen mother's system, and assisted by his ministers, where is there any toughness and assertiveness?

"Humph! I respect the original young heroes, and I think it must be different from ordinary shafts! Hearing this, Dong Zhuo immediately stood up and glared at Yuan Shao and said, "At the moment when the country was in danger, I saved the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother from the traitorous ministers, where were the hundred officials at that time?!" The affairs of the world, as long as we agree, how dare the rest of the people disobey?! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face changed several times, when did he receive this kind of treatment for his dignified Yuan family? Even if He Jin was polite to him in the past. Just thinking of the more than 30,000 elite soldiers around him, Yuan Shao could only hold back his anger and say, "In that case, why don't you ask Taiwei Dong to discuss this matter with Taifu?" After all, such an important matter can't be ignored by the captain of the military academy......"

"King Chen Liu, and the current saint are both sons of the previous emperor, although they want to be reestablished, there is no need to discuss with Taifu." Dong Zhuo said lightly when he heard this.

In a word, Yuan Shao, who was immediately angry, rushed straight to his head, you must know that Yuan Shao had already given Dong Zhuo a lot of face, even if Dong Zhuo was so arrogant just now, he could not bear his anger. Just hearing this, he couldn't help it anymore. Because Dong Zhuo's words directly humiliated Yuan Kui, and what is the difference between humiliating Yuan Kui and humiliating the entire Yuan family?

I saw Yuan Shaoteng stand up suddenly, holding the hilt of his sword and glaring at Dong Zhuodao, "The heroes and heroes in the world, is there only one Captain Dong?!" As he spoke, he arched his hand at Dong Zhuo with his sword, ignoring Dong Zhuo's angry look and the killing intent in his eyes, and turned around and left directly.

It's just that after Yuan Shao left Xianyang Garden, Dong Zhuo's angry look disappeared directly, and he re-poured himself full of wine, while complaining angrily, "Wen You, is it okay now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a person came out from the side, who was it not Li Ru?

"Hehe, the lord has done a good job, I'm afraid that after Yuan Shao goes back, he will definitely flee from Luoyang, and at that time, the Xiyuan army will be leaderless, but there is no need to worry about it anymore." Li Ru smiled when he heard this.

"Is he really leaving?" Dong Zhuo asked strangely when he heard this, "He is a child of the Yuan family, even if I am really angry, how can I cut him." ”

"Hehe, the lord specially invited him here, and with the reputation of the lord and the words of the abolished emperor, then Yuan Shao will definitely be worried and afraid." Li Ru suddenly smiled strangely when he heard this.

......Hearing this, Dong Zhuo blinked, and only after a long time did he muttered to himself a little strangely, "Why do I think this is not praising me?" ”
