After dawn in the morning, the princes and ministers in Luoyang City all knew what happened last night, and they all sighed.

It happened suddenly, catching everyone off guard. Due to Liu Bian's low profile in the early stage, many ministers still have a hard time believing that last night's incident was planned by Liu Bian, and some even thought that Cao Cao was the main leader who captured Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Liu Wei was too lazy to explain these things, although Dong Zhuo was controlled, there was still a lot of finishing work to be done. After all, there was still a flying bear army of Dong Zhuo outside the city, and there was an army of Li Dao and Guo Yan rushing in the distance. After all, the Yuan family is the leader of the scholar clan and has a great influence in the court, and his long-term house arrest without any reason is easy to intensify internal contradictions, and he now has to deal with the external Xiliang army, and he does not want to have internal turmoil and is difficult to clean up.

As soon as Yuan Shao and the others were free, they immediately contacted the party to conspire with them, but it was a pity that now Liu Wei had controlled most of the situation in Luoyang City, and in a hurry, Yuan Shao and the others did not dare to move.

So time is still on the side that is favorable to Liu Bian. The main problem facing Liu Wei now is how to eat the Xiliang army outside the city as soon as possible.

In this regard, Liu Wei has also been prepared for a long time.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's reaction, Liu Wei did not expect it wrong. Without Li Ru by his side to give advice, Dong Zhuo finally wrote a letter of persuasion under Wei Yi's coercion and temptation. After Liu Wei got the letter, he sent it to the Xiliang army outside the city as soon as possible.

The Xiliang army outside the city was already as anxious as ants on a hot pot at this time. After discovering that the gates of Luoyang, including the Shangxi Gate, were closed, they felt that something must have happened in the city.

The leader of the Xiliang Army outside the city was Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min, and after several calls that the door did not open, he was stunned to find that the guards at the West Gate had been replaced by Jiang Qi. Although Dong Min repeatedly emphasized that he was the Xiliang army from King Qin, Jiang Qi only let Dong Min take his subordinate Hu Zhen into the city, and the rest of the soldiers retreated ten miles to station.

Dong Min, who had nothing to do, only temporarily led his troops to retreat. Although the soldiers he led were the elite of the Xiliang Army, known as the Flying Bear Army, they were composed of strange people and strange people in the rivers and lakes, including many warriors like Hu Che'er, who "could carry 500 catties and travel 700 miles a day". But after all, the number of people is small, and when they come out, they go out of the city in simple clothes, and there are no siege equipment around them.

Because they didn't know the situation in the city, Dong Min and the others couldn't think of any way to deal with it, so they had to be in a hurry in the camp. It wasn't until Dong Zhuo's letter came that Dong Min and the others learned about the general situation in the city. As expected, Dong Zhuo had been controlled by the little emperor, and the content of the letter was generally to persuade them to give up resistance and submit to the imperial court.

Along with Dong Zhuo's letter, there was also an edict from Liu Wei, which mentioned the imperial court's reward for Dong Zhuo and all the Xiliang army, and released a gentle signal to them. It also specially added Dong Min as the Great Honglu and the Marquis of E, Hu Zhen as the general and the Marquis of Guannei, and the rest like Li Su and others also had rewards. Although Da Honglu is one of the nine kings, he is a noble position with no real power. The rest of the generals of the Xiliang Army also transferred them out of the army. In the edict, Liu Bian's meaning was very clear, that is, let them give up the military power in their hands and transfer to the central government to control it.

The Xiliang army is not full of stupid people, not everyone wants to give up the military power in their hands and live a life with a snort in the imperial court. It's just that people like Hu Zhen and Li Su who have ideas in their hearts don't have a high status in the Xiliang Army, and even if they raise their arms and call out, there are very few responders. So Hu Zhen and others pinned the little thoughts in their hearts on Dong Min's attitude.

Dong Min is Dong Zhuo's younger brother, and he is now the leader of the three thousand sergeants, if he ruthlessly abandons Dong Zhuo and takes Dong Zhuo's place and goes to Luoyang, it may be a different situation at that time.

It's just that Dong Min and Dong Zhuo have a deep relationship that everyone knows, and it is unlikely that they will abandon Dong Zhuo and put him to death, but Hu Zhen, Li Su and others still tested Dong Min's meaning with a glimmer of hope.

After Dong Min read Dong Zhuo's letter, Hu Zhen stepped forward and said: "Three generals, (Dong Min's family is three) The intentions of the imperial court are unknown, if we are obedient, in fact, it is not the mutton on the chopping board to be slaughtered?" ”

Dong Min asked, "What does Wencai think?" ”

Hu Zhen paused and said, "Why don't I wait to return to Xiliang, let the three generals preside over the overall situation, and then try a good strategy." ”

Dong Min couldn't help but sigh heavily when he heard what Hu Zhen said. Although he also suspected that the intentions of the imperial court were unclear like Hu Zhen, he had never thought about letting him replace Dong Zhuo. Dong Min's father died early, and his eldest brother Dong Zhuo also died young, so the second brother Dong Zhuo has always been the pillar of the family, and he also takes good care of his younger brother. Moreover, Dong Min also thinks that without Dong Zhuo's ability, if he is in charge of the Xiliang Army, he will not be able to control the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under him, and it is not impossible for Xiao Wall to be in a different place when the disaster occurs.

Therefore, Dong Min finally made up his mind and said: "The second brother treats me well, how can I bear to abandon him." Besides, we are not guilty of any serious crime, and the court cannot kill them in spite of criticism. At this time, since there is a letter from the second brother and an edict from the imperial court, we should be able to unload our armor and return to the imperial court. ”

Hu Zhen and the others saw that their intentions had been decided, and there was nothing they could do. After all, with their intelligence, they can't think of other good ideas, and if they lead the crowd to mutiny, they don't have that much influence, and in the end they have to resign themselves to fate.

Dong Min sent someone to the city to deliver a letter, expressing his willingness to submit to the imperial court. Liu Wei was overjoyed when he learned that the Xiliang army outside the city had given up resistance, and sent Jiang Qi to lead the crowd out of the city to collect the Flying Bear Army.

Dong Min and the others were still transferred from the Xiliang Army in accordance with the content of the edict, and for the elite Flying Bear Army of 3,000 people, Liu Wei completely dismembered them in the following days. Because there were many capable people in the army, most of them were arranged by Liu Wei as palace guards, and some cavalry were incorporated into Jiang Qi's Xiyuan Army and the Yue cavalry battalion in the Northern Army.

In the end, the Flying Bear Army, a well-equipped and powerful army in the world, finally failed to be as famous as it was in the original history, but disappeared silently.

After the incorporation of the Flying Bear Army, Liu Bian's military strength in Luoyang City increased greatly, so that Yuan Shao could no longer use force for a long time, and Liu Bian completely controlled the situation in Luoyang.

After internal stability, Liu Wei set his sights on Li Dao Guo Yan's 50,000 Xiliang army thousands of miles away. In fact, in the internal system of the Xiliang Army, the status of Li Dao Guo Yan and others is not very high, the real qualifications are old, and the high status is Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and other five lieutenant generals, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are only second only to their captains.

However, because Li Wei Guo Yan has strong military ability and has made many military exploits, he has quite prestige in the army, and his reputation exceeds that of Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan and others. At the same time, they were also deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, so when Dong Zhuo was eager to seize Luoyang and only led the 3,000 Flying Bear Army forward, he handed over the command of the army to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other four captains.

Below Dong Zhuo, Dong Min, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen and others have all returned to the imperial court, but Niu Fu, Dong Yue, and Xu Rong, who are far away in Liangzhou and Hedong to see their hometowns, have unclear attitudes. What made Liu Wei even more reassuring was Li Dao, Guo Yan and others who had heavy troops, they would not be as easy to manipulate as Dong Min, who only had 3,000 people who could not afford the storm and had a deep relationship with Dong Zhuo, and a simple letter of persuasion from Dong Zhuo could not solve the problem. Liu Wei did not want the historical rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan to repeat again, so for the time being, he could only adopt a policy of appeasement and a plan to sow discord against them.

Liu Wei issued an edict to entitle Li Dao as the general of Zhenxi, Guo Yan as the general of Zhengxi, Zhang Ji as the general of Anxi, and Fan Chou as the general of Pingxi. No matter which of them returns to Liangzhou first, it will inevitably cause jealousy and dissatisfaction among the other three, originally in history, Li Dao and Guo Yan failed because of discord and civil strife, and Liu Wei's plan can be said to be not poisonous. And Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were originally captains under Niu Fu, but now they have become generals, and their names are above Niu Fu, and after returning to Liangzhou, they will be on the same page with Niu Fu and others, and there will inevitably be a fight.

The Liangzhou issue has always been a thorny issue for the Han Dynasty, and the rebellions over the years have almost brought down the imperial treasury, and the gradual decline of the Han Dynasty in history has a lot to do with the repeated rebellions in Liangzhou. Although Liu Wei now controls Dong Zhuo, the lord of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army is still a behemoth to Liu Wei, and with his current strength, he still can't swallow it in one bite. And the long-term peace and stability of Liangzhou cannot be solved overnight. Therefore, Liu Wei needs time to stabilize the government and strengthen his strength, since he can't solve the Liangzhou Rebellion for the time being, he can only make him more chaotic, so that they are busy with civil strife and have no time to affect the central part of the empire for the time being.

After receiving the edict from the imperial court and Dong Zhuo's letter, Li Dao and others also roughly learned about what happened in the capital, but they did not show any idea of wanting to rescue Dong Zhuo immediately, but immediately turned their horses and returned to Xiliang after hearing the edict.

After learning that Li Wei and Guo Yan's army had returned to Liangzhou, the stone that had been hanging in Liu Wei's heart finally fell. Since then, the script he designed has finally been completed, and the last crisis of the Han Empire has been temporarily resolved by him.

Originally, it was precisely because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion that the Kwantung princes fought against Dong in history, which weakened the centralization of power, gradually expanded the local power, and finally fell apart of the Han Empire.

However, now, after more than ten years of waiting, three years of preparation, and with all his might, Liu Wei finally resolved the impending crisis of the Han Empire, and also changed the fate of his original history. The Han Empire, which was about to fall into the abyss, was finally pulled up by force with the efforts of Liu Wei, a young man from the future.
