Chapter 212: Dong Zhuo is here
"Dong Zhuo?"
"The emperor and the princess of Wannian?"
Later, when the Han Dynasty became a thing of the past, today's events became the most shocking event in the history of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, the new emperor was still two or three steps away from the emperor's throne, and the emperor who had been buried actually returned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This ......" The ministers of civil and military affairs were almost all stunned, Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng secretly screamed that it was not good, Liu Wei was not dead, Liu Xie naturally failed to ascend the throne, and the good days of Empress Dowager He and Cao Ju naturally did not come to an end.
Cao Ju was not the slightest surprise, and thought to himself, hehe, Dong Fatzi is really at the right time, not early or late, he is simply my lieutenant.
Empress Dowager He was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Quick, go and welcome the emperor and princess into the city." ”
"Uh......" A woman is a woman, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rolled their eyes, including Cao Ju, and thought to themselves, not only the emperor and the princess are back, but also Dong Zhuo, that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he is ambitious.
"The Queen Mother is slow." Cao Ju immediately stopped the Empress Dowager He, who had already begun to descend the steps, and turned to the sergeant and asked, "How much is Dong Zhuo's army?" ”
The sergeant was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "There are about 30,000 people. ”
"More than 30,000 people?" Everyone gasped, and Empress Dowager He also stopped, was in a hurry, and asked, "Don Ma, what is the ambition of Dong Zhuo's wolf son, who leads an army of 30,000 Xiliang Tiger and Wolf to enter Beijing?" ”
There are not many generals in the court, Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi are veterans, and there are only three young people: Cao Ju, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, and the Empress Dowager He asked Cao Ju.
Cao Ju sighed: "Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo has taken the emperor and princess hostage, we have no choice but to put them in the city." However, although the Xiliang army is numerous, the defenders of Luoyang are twice as large, and the queen mother can issue an edict to let the commanders of the northern and southern armies contain Dong Zhuo, and he may not have a chance. ”
The commander of the southern army is a guard lieutenant, it used to be vacant, after Zhang Rang's rebellion, Empress Dowager He named Cao Ju as a guard lieutenant and took charge of the southern army, although Yuan was unhappy, but he did not dare to oppose again, because Liu Yan's whereabouts were unknown, and Yuan had no confidence in his heart. There is another reason, whether it is Wei Wei who is in charge of the Southern Army or Zhi Jinwu who is in charge of the Northern Army, they are all under the jurisdiction of Taiwei, and Taiwei is Yang Biao, Yuan Shao's second brother-in-law.
Empress Dowager He was overjoyed and said: "Okay, this is very true, Cao Aiqing and Ding Aiqing, this time the heavy responsibility of containing Dong Zhuo falls on the two Aiqing." ”
Cao Ju and Ding Yuan, who came out of the train, bowed down together and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”
With the northern and southern armies, Empress Dowager He was a little relieved, and immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, go to the west gate with the mourning family to welcome the emperor back to the palace." ”
Liu Xie was very embarrassed, and was glared at fiercely by the Empress Dowager He, and then several palace maids stepped forward and took off the sun and moon on their shoulders, and the wide-sleeved red clothes decorated with sea, mountains and black patterns were taken off from his body, and the twelve crowns were replaced by seven crowns again.
A farce of enthronement was completely over, but Liu Xie was only a nine-year-old child after all, so he immediately forgot about this embarrassment, and followed him to the West Gate to greet his imperial brother.
Those two headless corpses were naturally Dong Zhuo's good deeds, and they were Li Ru's idea.
Li Ru expected that if the defenders of Luoyang could not find the young emperor Liu Ban and the princess Liu Mu in Pishan, they would definitely continue to search westward, and Dong Zhuo's three thousand iron horsemen would be discovered. So, Li Ru came up with such an idea to buy precious time for Dong Zhuo's army to arrive.
Outside the Maxi Gate, Dong Zhuo looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Luoyang City, it was not the first time he had come here, but this time the feeling was completely different, as long as there was this little emperor he was holding, the power of the world would soon fall into his hands.
It is very fortunate to say that the people sent by Dong Zhuo quickly connected with Dong Chong's old department, and they easily reached an agreement, Dong Chong's old department was all loyal to Dong Zhuo, but the only requirement was that once Dong Zhuo took power, he wanted to rehabilitate Dong Chong, and Dong Zhuo of course agreed to it.
What about He Miao's old department, because He Miao died under the knife of Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang, these two people have already taken refuge in Cao Ju, He Miao's old department naturally will not take refuge in Cao Ju, nor did he take refuge in Ding Yuan, so he was easily dealt with by Dong Zhuo.
30,000 Xiliang warriors, plus Dong Chong and He Miao's old troops, Dong Zhuo has not yet entered the city, his troops are almost 100,000, and his strength is already above Cao Ju and Ding Yuan.
More importantly, no one knew about this matter, Empress Dowager He and Cao Ju. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, so at the beginning, Empress Dowager He and Cao Ju had already fallen behind.
The figure of the Empress Dowager He and several important ministers of the court appeared above the city gate of the west gate of Luoyang, and the young emperor Liu Wei saw it at a glance, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the child is here." ”
At the beginning of the military parade of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo also led the Xiliang Army to participate, and the mighty image of the Xiliang Army had long been imprinted in the hearts of these important ministers of the court, and the Empress Dowager He, who saw the majestic and mighty Xiliang Army for the first time, was even more discolored.
Empress Dowager He took a deep breath, barely calmed herself, and shouted: "Dong Tingshi, you saved the emperor and the princess, and made great contributions, the mourning family will inevitably be rewarded, you can order the army to retreat thirty miles back and set up camp, and then send the emperor and the princess into the city." ”
Dong Zhuo sneered in his heart and said loudly: "Queen Mother, Wechen heard about the civil strife in Luoyang, and I was worried that there were still rebellious forces ready to move, so Wechen must raise troops into Beijing to continue to protect the emperor's safety, and ask the Queen Mother to allow Wechen to lead troops into the city." ”
With a rebellious heart, but he also asked the Empress Dowager He to make an order and enter Luoyang City openly, this Dong Zhuo is indeed not good at his generation, Empress Dowager He was secretly angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to refuse, and turned her head to look at Cao Ju, but saw that she was just looking at Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian beside Dong Zhuo.
In desperation, Empress Dowager He had to ask Huangfu Song and others: "What is your good plan for Aiqing?" ”
Bird's good strategy, Cao Ju also heard the words of the Empress Dowager He, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself, the emperor is in Dong Zhuo's hands, who has a good way to snatch the emperor over, only to open the city gate and let Dong Zhuo's army enter the city.
No one spoke, everyone was silent for a while, and Empress Dowager He was greatly disappointed, so she had to sigh and say: "It seems that Dong Zhuo's army can only be let into the city." ”
Zhijin Wuding Yuan received the order and arranged for Lu Bu beside him to send someone to open the west gate and let Dong Zhuo's army enter the city.
Since Lu Bu appeared, Cao Ju has targeted him, the famous first fierce general in the history of the Three Kingdoms and the most controversial three-surnamed family slave.
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he asked his general Li Su to lure Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and lead his people to Dong Zhuo, but Cao Ju appeared, would he sit idly by? (To be continued.) )
