Chapter 240: Li Ru's Advice

This time, at the personal invitation of Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, Situ Yuan Kui, no, has now been enshrined as Taifu Yuan Kui, led the holy decree, went to Gucheng with an illness, and said that Dong Zhuo would be surrendered!

Outside Gucheng, the Liangzhou military camp, the Chinese military tent, Dong Zhuo is discussing major matters with the military advisor Li Ru.

"Tomorrow, Taifu Yuan Kui is about to arrive in Gucheng and persuade a certain to withdraw from the army! Wenyou, what do you think? Dong Zhuo read the secret letter sent by the Yuan family, handed him to Li Ru, and asked angrily.

I think that at the beginning, Dong Zhuo received a secret letter from Yuan Kui, so he made up his mind to raise troops in the land of Longxi and enter the side of Qingjun in Luoyang. Even he didn't expect that Dahan would be so weak now. After defeating Lu Zhi's Central Army, Dong Zhuo did not encounter decent resistance. Of course, there is no lack of cooperation with Yuan's forces. For example, Li Su, the deputy general of Hanguguan, is the internal response given to him by the Yuan family.

As the war went smoothly, Dong Zhuo's ambition grew like spring grass! If when he started the army in Longxi, his goal was only to make a townsman and receive the actual position of a guard general, then now, he has set his sights on the Tai Lieutenant, one of the three dukes. In other words, it seems that the general who is tied with the three princes is also a good choice.

After Li Ru read the secret letter, he smiled and said: "Taifu came in a hurry this time, which shows two problems: First, Luoyang's strength is not enough to resist the progress of the lord. Second, the little emperor and the Taifu were in a hurry, because the lord made them feel threatened! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he grinned and said: "You can't be a loyal minister, it seems that it's not bad to be a powerful minister who makes the emperor afraid!" However, tomorrow Taifu will definitely mention the abolition of the emperor again, how should he refuse? ”

"Refusal? Why should the lord refuse? Li Ru said faintly on the side.

"Oh? What's the trick for Wen You? Hurry up. Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up, knowing that since Li Ru said so, he must have a good plan.

"Before returning to the lord, the lower official needs to ask the lord a question first, and ask the lord to answer truthfully." Li Ru said solemnly.

"If you have any questions, Wen You just asks." Dong Zhuo said heartily.

"When I was in Liangzhou before, I had conspired with the lord and relied on the Yuan family, which was nothing more than that the Yuan family could give additional officials, knights, and fiefs, and the general had a heavy army in his hands to wait for the opportunity to achieve a great cause. However, they love each other, and I look at the situation in Luoyang, and this opportunity is probably just around the corner. I don't know if the lord is ready to follow the original prudent plan and advance step by step, or does he want to take advantage of the chaos and climb to the sky in one step? ”

"What does it mean to ascend to the sky in one step?" Dong Zhuo's slender little eyes sparkled, and he kept turning.

Li Ru pointed to the secret letter in his hand, and said: "Since you want to be a wicked person, the lord might as well be a little bit better!" pretended to agree to withdraw the army, and on the grounds that the deposed emperor needed to be guarded, he led 5,000 armor soldiers into Luoyang! Once you enter Luoyang, take control of the whole city immediately! Since Luoyang has fallen into the hands of the lord, even the Yuan family needs to look at the lord's face to act! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, the horizontal threads of flesh on his face were red and shiny, and his excitement was overflowing.

"That's what I want! It's just that there are still thousands of soldiers and horses in Luoyang in the hands of Lu Bu, the general of the five senses, what should I do? ”

"Don't worry, lord! I look at Na Lu Bu, first Ding Yuan, then He Shi, now loyal to the emperor, not a loyal person. The lord only needs to secretly send someone to befriend Lu Bu, give him a generous gift, and promise him a high-ranking official, then Lu Bu will be shaken. If Lu Bu wants to be the loyal and righteous man...... How can the 200,000 behind the lord be vegetarians! ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said well: "That's it!" What is the right gift for this Lu Bu? ”

"A general, the one he likes is nothing more than a magic weapon in his hand, a good horse and a good horse. Those who are greedy are nothing but titles, beauties, and wealth. ”

"Hmm~" Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed with Li Ru's opinion: "Who is the right person to lobby?" ”

"The former Hangu guard will be Li Suke! He and Lu Bu are both from the five plains of Bingzhou and have the feelings of fellow villagers. And he was once the person of Taifu Yuan Kui, Lu Bu must have thought that the Lord and the Yuan family were people in the same boat......"

"Good! Come! With Li Su's secret letter from the general, he handed over the general's mount, the red rabbit, and a hundred catties of gold to Lu Bu. And promised that on the day when I Dong someone is ranked among the three princes, he will be indispensable Lu Fengxian! ”

Li Su received the order and hurried to Luoyang City.

On the second day, outside Gucheng, Taifu Yuan Kui met with the former general Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo put forward several requirements: First, kill the ministers Liu Hong and Liu Bei, and return the world to peace. Second, the Empress Dowager Dong and the hussar general Dong Zhong were crowned to comfort their souls in the sky.

Of course, Dong Zhuo's reasons are all nonsense. Because of the biggest reason for Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the purpose of Yuan's revival has been achieved. Liu Hong and Liu Bei, one has been dismissed at home, and the other has been beaten by him without a trace, what is the difference between killing and not killing? As for the Empress Dowager Dong and the hussar general Dong Chong, they are just relatives of Dong Zhuo who raised their blood value and clinged to them.

Because the ancients paid attention to the fact that the teacher was famous, not to mention the major event of raising troops against the imperial court, there must be a loud slogan.

Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty saw Dong Zhuo's requests, and agreed without even thinking about it! I was secretly glad that Dong Zhuo was not as arrogant as he imagined!

In fact, Dong Zhuo just put away his minions and waited for his prey to approach.

Dong Zhuo originally asked to bring 5,000 Liangzhou cavalry into Beijing, but was vetoed by Taifu Yuan Kui. Dong Zhuo refused to enter Luoyang on the grounds of insecurity. In the end, after compromise, Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty worshiped Dong Zhuo as Guangluxun and allowed him to carry 3,000 elites into Luoyang, and his subordinates were enriched into the left middle general, the right middle lang general and the tiger ben middle lang general.

Liu Wei naively thought that with the five senses Zhonglang general Lu Bu and Yulin Zhonglang Bao Hong, he could use the name of the emperor to slowly obtain the allegiance of the three Zhonglang generals of Dong Zhuo's department.

Dong Zhuo ordered his son-in-law Niu Fu to be the main general, and Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji to be the deputy generals, and led the 200,000 Xiliang army to retreat to the Chang'an area west of Hangu Pass and station. He led Li Ru, Guo Yan, Li Dao, Fan Chou and three thousand Xiliang Jing to ride into Luoyang City.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army, the Central Army under Lu Bu, and Luoyang City showed a trend of two strong forces. In addition, the former state army under the command of Jin Wuding Yuan is considered a force, but unfortunately it is not strong.

On the same day, because it was getting late, Taifu Yuan Kui did not lead Dong Zhuo to meet the emperor. Instead, a banquet was set up in the Taifu Mansion and the ministers of the DPRK and China were invited to the banquet. Wait for the next day, and then lead Dong Zhuo to the court.

In today's Luoyang City, the Yuan family has one family and two dukes, and it is the most powerful. And that Dong Zhuo, who pressed Luoyang with the side of Qingjun, finally worshiped under the prestige of Yuan Taifu, which added to the demeanor of the Yuan family!

Ding Yuan, the ruling Jinwu, used to be on an equal footing with Dong Zhuo, but because he hugged the wrong thigh, He Jin had a short life, and Ding Yuan was sandwiched between the emperor and the three princes, and the left and right were not people. Although I got Yuan's invitation today, I was not happy in my heart. Sitting in the middle of the banquet, sullen drinking.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I heard Dong Zhuo speak: "You can know that Zhuo risked his death on the side of the Qing monarch, but why?" ”
