Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it enters the autumn of the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty.

It's still October, but the chill in Luoyang has come to the bone, and every household has closed their doors and windows, whispering about the cool air raging outside.

On this day, the palace is particularly prosperous, the emperor accepts the new concubine Dong, in fact, this is no longer a newcomer in the palace, he has been drafted into the palace before, but now he has been canonized as a nobleman, this is still the first ** woman promoted in the palace today, obviously it is deeply favored by the little emperor.

And this Dong Guiren's father is the nephew of the former Han Ling Emperor's mother, Empress Dowager Dong, and Dong Cheng, the captain of Changshui.

In any case, the emperor's concubine is also a happy event and a good thing at this time, the whole Luoyang is a festive party, and Dong Zhuo is also rare to open a palace dinner for Liu Xie and the others, and invite courtiers to the banquet.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Lu Bu saw a lot of familiar faces at this banquet, most of them had been seen at Wang Yun's birthday banquet before, and the difference was that this time Dong Zhuo invited most of the generals invited by Dong Zhuo at the dinner, Lu Bu didn't say it, and the state army, the Xiliang army, and even the imperial city of the Praetorian Guards, and now almost only the Yulin army that has become the "gilded" disciple of the Luoyang nobles, all the generals who can take the shot, are all present.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min was also arranged by Dong Zhuo to serve in the Yulin Army, but unfortunately he was killed by Cao Cao, at this time Dong Zhuo inevitably remembered him, although this younger brother is not angry, but after all, he is his own brother, Dong Zhuo may be bad to others, but he is still very good to his family, so he is a little sad at this moment.

Where did the guests pay attention to his demeanor from time to time, and when they saw such expressions that were incompatible with the atmosphere of the scene, they quieted down one by one, making the entire atmosphere of the scene stagnate, which shows that Dong Zhuo's huge influence is noticed by everyone all the time, and everyone should take care of his feelings.

It was the young son of heaven who was supposed to be the host of the banquet, eleven-year-old Liu Xie this year, who also stopped his secret drinking when he saw this, his fear of Dong Zhuo was even deeper than that of those courtiers, after all, many of them did not often see Dong Zhuo, and they had no chance to see nature and have no chance to provoke, even if Dong Zhuo was angry, it would not affect them; But now Dong Zhuo is most often in and out of the Xiangguo Mansion and the court, Liu Xie can often meet Dong Zhuo for several days in a row, although Dong Zhuo treats him as a puppet, but his requirements for him have always been very strict, but Dong Zhuo's prestige makes him not even angry, but more and more afraid of him.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the Son of Heaven, so it is no wonder that Wang Yunhui wants to get rid of Dong Zhuo and let Liu Xie take charge of the government, otherwise the majesty of the Han family will be wiped out if it goes down more and more, so what is the point of these courtiers who are loyal to the Han family?

However, Dong Zhuo's feelings come and go quickly, after all, people are dead and can't live in the past forever, and he has already included Cao Cao in the must-kill list, it's just a matter of time, and as soon as the gloomy look is closed, Dong Zhuo regained his arrogant side, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and also ignited the atmosphere of the banquet again.

After all, this is also a happy thing, even Dong Zhuo will not destroy it for no reason at such a time, but with him, everyone can't play with all his heart, but after he entered the ** to do the well-known dirty deeds, everyone can still let go, even Liu Xie no longer drinks secretly, but is open, Wang Yun in the distance did not come forward to persuade them, they all know what Dong Zhuo is going to do, but what can they say?

Just let the little emperor indulge himself, it's just such a rare opportunity, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

If it is not sad enough, it is sad, no one thought that at this time, on the land of Hebei east of Luoyang, he was once again caught in the war, and even fewer people thought that the person who suddenly set off the war this time was Yuan Shao, who had been calm for a long time and did not even have the slightest intention of interfering in the previous battle between Gongsun Chan and Han Fu.

But if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, everyone can feel the pressure from Dong Zhuo, especially after Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui led several forces in Hexi to confront Niu Fu in Guanzhong for nearly a month, they suddenly announced that they would join Dong Zhuo's banner, although this is only a nominal surrender, no one will take it seriously at the critical moment, and the two of them are in addition to the name of a general of Zhengxi and a general of Zhenxi, of course, Ma Teng also got the title of Liangzhou Mu in addition to the general of Zhenxi, Anyway, this place was originally under their sphere of influence, and there was no loss to the imperial court, and there was no substantial benefit to them in addition, and even Ma Teng paid the price of a proton for this, obviously they both knew what was going on, this was a temporary exchange, but it was still a huge pressure for Yuan Shao, which at least proved that Han Ma and they did not dare to blatantly resist Dong Zhuo now, although this was a time bomb, Dong Zhuo did not dare to let go completely, But at a certain point, it can be said that Dong Zhuo's west is safe, and as long as he wants, he can start to deal with the east side wholeheartedly, that is, their Hebei area.

As for the south, there is a river separation, even with Dong Zhuo's current strength, he will not be hot-headed enough to deal with it in a short time.

In fact, it was precisely because of Dong Zhuo's strength that Yuan Shao had never dared to act rashly, after all, the two generals of the Xiliang Army, Li Dao and Guo Yan Chen Bing, were always deterring him at the border of Yuzhou, in case he moved lightly, he also pulled the movements of Li Dao and Guo Yan behind, there is no doubt that they will immediately lead the army to break into Hebei, there are two major enemies in front of Gongsun Zan and Han Fu, and you must always be careful in the back, such a situation is obviously difficult to embarrass people.

But this time he has obviously been preparing for a long time, and he has completed the task of attacking the city and occupying the territory in a very short time, so that it is too late for others to rescue or interfere, and he did not think that he would destroy Han Fu and Gongsun Zan at once, it will take a certain amount of time, and now the situation in Hebei is still relatively balanced, which is also a relatively stable situation for Yuan Shao, and I am afraid that it is also what Dong Zhuofang wants, so before they have time to react, he has already done all the things, closing the territory, Buy people's hearts, suppress resistance, consolidate the gains of victory, and then continue to find a fulcrum to stabilize the situation.

Undoubtedly, this move was very clever, making Han Fu and their subsequent counterattack seem to be a little thunderous and rainy, and Li Dao and Guo Yan did not find a suitable opportunity to send troops at all, so they could only continue to deter, even if Yuan Shao's goal had been achieved at this time, it was not enough for him.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao conveyed goodwill to the Luoyang side through some mouths, in essence, he was not a person loyal to the Han family, he had ambitions, and he also had the ability and strength to realize his ambitions, so other obstacles must be eliminated.

Compared with the original history, the current Yuan Shao may be because of the defeat of the Tiger Prison and the fierce battle in Hebei, so he did not show too incompetent side, of course, the personality of more resourceful and less decisive is still there, but the mind is more sober, and the choice of people close to him is more rational. It is also his second "shot" since convening the alliance of princes to discuss Dong's declaration, which is also admired by the world, although the comparison between the two articles before and after is inconsistent.

Chen Lin Chen Kongzhang, no matter what his opinion of this person is, it is undeniable that he is indeed a stunning and charming person, whether it is Cao Cao in Xuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, or Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, they are all eager to get him, but unfortunately this person is obviously not very good, but he still has to do the act of covering his ears and stealing the bell, but the articles he does are a must, Dong Zhuo probably wants him to make some praise articles for himself, which is very beneficial to his reputation.

What was the greatest weapon of the literati at this time? It's not integrity, it's not poetry and songs, it's the pen and the mouth.
