Chapter 208: Dong Zhuo interferes in politics
Since the rescue of Bishan, Dong Zhuo has relied on the benefits of his soldiers and horses to exclude dissidents in the DPRK. Not long after, Dong Zhuo used the excuse that he was the same clan as the Empress Dowager Dong, and got rid www.biquge.info of He Miao in order to avenge the Empress Dowager Dong.
"Wen You, the old man Guan Shaodi has a weak personality, not like the image of Ming Jun, and wants to abolish it and set up King Chen Liu!" Dong Zhuo smiled and looked at a scribe in front of him and said.
"Father-in-law, this matter is urgent. At present, we have not yet gained a firm foothold in Luoyang! The thin scribe replied.
"What should the old man do?"
"Divide and win over the He Jin faction, control the Northern Army and the Xiyuan Army, and then abolish the establishment!"
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "The old man has excellent literature, and the world can be won!" ”
Who is this Wenyou? His surname is Li, his name is Confucian, and his character is excellent. The doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and chief strategist, and was Dong Zhuo's confidant, and he consulted with him on all matters, and was Dong Zhuo's absolute think tank.
Beginning the next day, a large number of Xiliang troops entered Luoyang every morning, demonstrating the strength of Xiliang day after day. In fact, all this is Li Ru's strategy. In order to deter the ministers of the DPRK and China, Li Ruyan ordered the Xiliang army to be divided into several batches, and quietly slipped out of Luoyang every four or five days by night, and then drove into Luoyang the next morning.
All the people of Luoyang, including the officials of the imperial court, were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's strong strength and did not dare to have the slightest deviance. Although illusions can temporarily deceive people, they will eventually be seen through.
Of course, Li Ru's move could only be an expedient measure, and after a little adjustment, he began to take practical actions to seize military power on the grounds of expanding his troops. After the general He Jin was ambushed by Zhang Rang, his general Wu Kuang had a deep resentment towards He Jin's younger brother He Miao.
Therefore, Li Ru began to rely on Dong Zhuo's killing of He Miao to start wooing Wu Kuang, and finally under Li Ru's coercion and temptation, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the fisherman, and absorbed the remaining army of He Jin and He Miao without spending a single soldier. Dong Zhuo's behavior was seen by the ministers of the DPRK and China, but no one dared to speak out against it, which made Dong Zhuo more and more emboldened, and often went to the palace without taking a sword.
Dong Zhuo Zhuo is so proud, the young emperor Liu Bian is more afraid, and over time, the court has become Dong Zhuo's hall. Just when Dong Zhuo was complacent, he led the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to Luoyang in time.
With Ding Yuan's powerful foreign aid, the words of the entire imperial court changed, and those who did not dare to speak up against it jumped out one after another to accuse Dong Zhuo of what he had done, and the two sides abused each other and quarreled endlessly every morning. And the young emperor Liu Bian could only sit on the Luan chair and tremble, not to mention him as the emperor, even his mother, Empress He, was a little at a loss.
He Jin fortunately did not offend too many people before his death, and the safety of their mother and son at this moment was a matter of a few words from these ministers in the court, so the mother and son lived in fear all day long.
Early that day, the angry Dong Zhuo proposed in public to abolish the emperor and set up another one. As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a large number of opposition. Dong Zhuo, who was angry, drew his sword in public and shouted: "When my sword is not good, shout!" ”
This sound made many ministers obediently shut up, but Ding Yuan was an exception, and stepped forward and scolded loudly: "Your sword is sharp, and my sword is also extremely sharp!" ”
The two competed against each other in the court, and there was a big fight. In the end, it was the ministers who persuaded them to stop. However, after the early dynasty dispersed, the Xiliang cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry set up a formation outside the east gate of Luoyang, and a duel between the cavalry began.
"Dong Zhuo's old thief, as a courtier, he has done great rebellious things, come out and die quickly!" Ding Yuan immediately shouted loudly in front of the battle.
Xiliang and Bingzhou are both located on the border and have been harassed by nomadic tribes all year round. Therefore, the people in the two places are fierce, and all of them can ride and shoot well, especially Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry, most of which are Qiang. But there is a real fierce general in the Bingzhou army, and the Huns can't avoid it, that is Ding Yuan's righteous son, Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, the word Fengxian, is a native of Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County. Nine feet tall, making a Fang Tian painting halberd, since he was a child, his strength is amazing, and he has a high reputation in Bingzhou, and he is powerful.
After a provocation by Ding Yuan, the Xiliang people were still suffering, and immediately rushed out of a general.
"Feng Xianwu'er, give Xiliang people some color and take a look!" Ding Yuan said slowly.
"No! Father-in-law looks good! After finishing speaking, Lu Bu rode out slowly.
The generals who rushed out of the Xiliang army urged their horses to gallop, while Lu Bu moved forward unhurriedly. At this time, the general will use the impact of the horse to give the opponent a fatal blow. However, Lu Bu, who was nine feet tall, was riding an ordinary war horse, his feet fell on both sides at will, and he was holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, looking completely lazy.
The Xiliang military general was overjoyed and increased the speed of the horse again. Prepare to strike a blow. One side is moving forward slowly, the other side is running fast, and the distance between the two is gradually shrinking. At the moment when the two horses were wrong, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth rose slightly, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was swung out vigorously from the bottom up, and a miserable scream followed.
"Humph! This bit of ability also dares to come out and show ugliness. Lu Bu snorted coldly, and then pointed at the Xiliang cavalry with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand and shouted: "I want to send death together!" ”
This loud shout full of confidence suddenly aroused the fighting spirit of the Xiliang people. Two more generals rushed out, and the result was exactly the same as before, and Lu Bu easily killed the two with one blow.
"General Lu is mighty! General Lu is mighty! Seeing this, the cavalry raised their swords and shouted loudly.
"Hahaha, Dong Zhuo old thief, today is your death! Assault of the whole army! After killing the three generals, the morale of the cavalry in Bingzhou was greatly boosted, and Ding Yuan took this opportunity to wave his army to cover the killing.
Dong Zhuo was speechless with a gloomy face at the moment, and Li Ru on the side reminded in time: "Father-in-law, this battle is not good, because of the rapid retreat!" ”
"Withdraw!" Hearing Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo waved his hand and took the lead in retreating into Luoyang City.
The unsuccessful pursuit of the Bingzhou cavalry scolded in front of the city gate for a while before withdrawing. There is no need for Ding Yuan to deliberately publicize it, the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat spread throughout the city of Luoyang, but most people ignored one detail, the loss of the Xiliang army in this battle was not large.
"Hahaha, Feng Xianwu'er, the courage is abnormal, after getting rid of the Dong thief, I will ask for credit for your father in the court!" In the camp of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan's laughter spread far away.
A small victory made Ding Yuan believe that with Lu Bu here, it would be a matter of time before Dong Thief was defeated!
