Emperor Liu Hongxu, Empress Dowager He's biggest enemy is the general He Jin and the scholar bureaucrats, so, in order to prevent the emergence of a second Wang Mang and put an end to the dictatorship of the scholar bureaucracy, the Empress Dowager He took two measures to check and balance, one is to desperately protect the eunuchs, hoping to rely on the power of the eunuchs to contain the general He Jin and the scholar bureaucrats; The second is to increase the power of his other younger brother, He Miao, which is also the reason why He Miao, the general of the chariot cavalry, was finally killed.

Empress Dowager He is still very politically minded, between her brother and her son, as a mother, he chose her son; She had done her best to prevent the fall of the imperial power, but things turned out more than she expected, and finally got out of control.

Relatives and eunuchs were wiped out overnight, and Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu became helpless orphans and widows.

Who would benefit the most in this situation?

The Yuan family eliminated dissidents and took the opportunity to get rid of the scholars who had colluded with the eunuchs and established their prestige among the scholars.

Therefore, Taiwei Fan Ling and Shaofu Xu Xiang were quickly classified as eunuchs by Taifu Yuan Kui, and their heads were cut off, and they were confused until they died, and they didn't know why.

Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were both from the Kansai region, so they would not attract the attention of the Kwantung clan at all, and were completely ignored, and the Yuan family also took the opportunity to reduce the salaries and money and food supplies of the Northern Army in order to avenge Lu Bu's murder of Ding Yuan.

In the feast of re-dividing the power of the imperial court, the Guanxi Shi clan was not only excluded, but also suppressed everywhere, not only Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were angry, but even General Zuo, who was still in Guanzhong, was seriously dissatisfied with the Kwantung Shi clan.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru are now thinking about how to win over Lu Bu and subdue Lu Bu; And after Lu Bu replaced the fifth battalion of the Northern Army, he did not get the benefits he wanted, and he was very resentful of the imperial court and the scholars, but resentment could not solve any practical problems, and he and his subordinates had to find a future.

Based on the common appeal, under the planning of Li Ru and the back and forth contact of Zhang Ji, Lü Bu announced his allegiance to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was extremely happy, accepted Lü Bu as his adopted son, and promised that Lü Bu's army would become an army of its own, and the logistics, money, food, and salaries would be provided by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is from Guanxi, and he is not rich enough to raise so many soldiers and horses, and in order to make money, his army has long developed the bad habit of burning, killing and looting; In the prosperous Luoyang, they did not change their bad habits, and with Dong Zhuo's intentional connivance, the rich families around Luoyang who did not have a strong background became the meal of Dong Zhuo's army, which was also one of the reasons why those officers and soldiers were loyal to Dong Zhuo.

With the arrival of the follow-up troops one after another, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses in Luoyang City reached more than 100,000 people, and his strength was very strong, and no one could control it; Under Li Ru's scheme, he began to extend his claws to the imperial court and snatch power from the Kwantung clan, hoping to reap the fruits of victory in this imperial turmoil.

First of all, the army guarding the city gates and the palace was all undertaken by his descendants and troops, and he completely controlled the defense of Luoyang and the palace; This has to say that Dong Zhuo's ability and the level of army management are so high, even He Jin can not fully control the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Colonel of the West Park and the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, and now they are obedient under him, of course, this is also related to their loss of backers, and it also has a lot to do with the strong combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry.

Secondly, Dong Zhuo hinted that Han Tingce dismissed Sikong Liu Hong and recommended himself as Sikong.

In the end, in order to establish his prestige in the imperial court, Dong Zhuo adopted the method of beating a group and pulling a group of scholars to the scholars.

Dong Zhuo's temptation of the imperial court really worked, and because of his military strength, the imperial court immediately dismissed Sikong Liu Hong and appointed Dong Zhuo as Sikong. Dong Zhuo's move was a move, which tested the attitude of the imperial court towards him, which made him change his previous cautious style and become bolder.

Liu Hong, who was selected by Dong Zhuo, was a weak person who had no strength and fame in the imperial court, and the only record in his history was that he was replaced by Dong Zhuo.

Of course, the Yuan family also regretted ignoring He Miao and He Jin's old department, and was successfully absorbed by Dong Zhuo and expanded their strength; Taifu Yuan Kui saw Dong Zhuo's disobedience from this.

As early as when Dong Zhuo first entered Beijing, Dong Zhuo found that Emperor Liu Wei was too cowardly, while Liu Xie was smart, and Liu Xie had always been raised by the Empress Dowager Dong, known as "Dong Hou"; After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he thought that he was of the same clan as the Queen Mother, so he had a certain good impression of Liu Xie.

Now, after he established his position in the capital, he had the intention of abolishing it, and was guessed by Taifu Yuan Kui.

The sudden change made Yuan Shao, the executor of the Yuan family's front desk, dumbfounded; When the Xiliang Group was doing evil and wantonly looting in the capital, when Bao Xin, the commander of the cavalry, persuaded Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was even more at a loss, and Bao Xin returned to his hometown disappointed.

Yuan Shao actively introduced Dong Zhuo into Beijing because Dong Zhuo was the former official of the Yuan family, according to the tradition at that time, Dong Zhuo must be loyal to the Yuan family as a recommender for life, otherwise he would not be allowed to be in the Shi clan, they did not expect that Dong Zhuo lost control of Dong Zhuo after he became strong.

It's also to blame that everything is too smooth, the situation in the capital is completely developed according to the design of the Yuan family, but they forgot one thing, Liangzhou has been secretly abandoned by the imperial court, and the people of Liangzhou are regarded as barbarians by the Kwantung clan, and the Kansai clan is even more intolerant of the Kwantung clan, since Dong Zhuo has long been intolerable to the Kwantung clan, then why should he abide by the rules of the Kwantung clan? Dong Zhuo's betrayal of the Yuan family is reasonable, but the Yuan family is powerless for the time being.

But Yuan Shao was dumbfounded does not mean that the head of the Yuan family is too Fu Yuan Kui is dumbfounded, another more meticulous, more stable, and higher success rate of the grand strategy was quickly planned, and this strategy Yuan Kui has been brewing for a long time.

What is the experience of the Great Unification Empire that can be learned from in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? It was the Great Qin Empire, the Western Han Dynasty, and Wang Mang's usurpation.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the fierce fire between the generals and the eunuch group, and the huge Yellow Turban Uprising all over the Central Plains, made Liu Yan and Yuan Kui think.

Liu Yan's explicit performance of independence in disguise in Yizhou induced Yuan Kui, and Liu Yan was emulating Liu Bang; Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing stimulated Yuan Kui, and Dong Zhuo was following Wang Mang's example.

Not now, but when? Taifu Yuan Kui's final plan is not to be subordinate, he predicted that Dong Zhuo would eventually embark on Wang Mang's road of usurping the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty would die under the Yellow Turban Uprising and Dong Zhuo's toss, and a new dynasty would inevitably appear, so their Yuan family should be the founder of a new generation of dynasty.

Yuan Kui hoped that the next generation of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, would seize power from the local government in the future, and then develop and grow, and support him to control the imperial court and change the dynasty; There are also two nephews, Yuan Yi and Yuan Yin, Yuan Yi was assigned to follow his brother Yuan Shao, who was to guard Shanyang, and Yuan Yin was assigned to follow his younger brother Yuan Shu, who was to guard Danyang Taishou.

The whole strategy requires the support and cooperation of the important ministers of the imperial court, and at this time, the power of the wealthy family of the fourth and third princes is reflected, of course, more importantly, the perverse behavior of Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang has angered a large number of courtiers who eat Hanlu, and they consciously cooperate with Taifu Yuan Kui's plan.

The important ministers who cooperated with Yuan Kui's first step were Zhou Yu in the service and Han Fu and Zhang Zhi in the imperial history, and Zhou Yu recommended Han Fu and Zhang Shi to be released as Yuzhou Mu and Nanyang Taishou; Yuzhou is the richest state in the world, and there are many scholars, the Yuan family is determined to win, and there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers trained by Huang Wan and Lu Bu, who can just be collected for their own use; Nanyang is the family seat of the Yuan family, with a large population and great wealth, and it is the gateway to Jingzhou. And both of these places are far away from the territory of the champion marquis, and are not affected by the northern frontier army. 10
