In order to give people the illusion that he personally led the troops, Ma Chao rode out of the city fifty miles long ago to meet him. After receiving the order outside Luoyang City, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but put more than 1,000 horses near the West Garden, facing Ding Yuan's army who had just arrived.

Ma Chao hadn't seen Ding Yuan for a long time, so he brought someone to visit with gifts. Ding Yuan greeted him personally, and after greetings, Ma Chao said: "Chao heard that the Ten Standing Servants were in chaos in Jizhou, first murdered the general, and then hijacked the king of Tianhe Xie, although the danger has been turned into a disaster, but the little nephew is worried that the new monarch will be swayed by the ministers, so he specially returned to Beijing to help Uncle Ding clean up the king's side!" ”

Ding Yuan was overjoyed, stroked his palms and smiled: "The virtuous nephew is really here to send carbon in the snow!" Since the general was killed, Naxi Liang assassinated Shi Dong Zhuo and relied on the merit of saving the driver and the military power in his hands to control the government, this person deceived the lord to gain power, promoted party henchmen, abolished ministers, and killed surnames, he really has a heart of disobedience! ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Chao has also heard a little, so he came to help Uncle Ding!" ”

Ding Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Okay!" The reputation of the virtuous nephew is unparalleled in the sea, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are no less than Dong Zhuo, so he should serve the imperial court, except for the thieves of this country! ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "That's right, the little nephew wants to go into the city to see the sky, I don't know if my uncle is willing to go along?" ”

Ding Yuan frowned and said: "It is not impossible to enter the city at this moment, but that Dong Zhuo is crazy, in case he ignores his reputation and assassinates us, I am afraid that it will be impossible to prevent it." You need to bring a small team of people into the city through the north gate! Min Gongnai, the guard of the north gate, will not be embarrassed by us! ”

Ma Chao nodded and said: "What my uncle said is very reasonable, and it is enough for the little nephew to bring General Dian by his side!" Uncle also has to bring Brother Feng Xian and Brother Gao Shun with him to ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

Ding Yuan thought so. Immediately asked his own soldiers to call Lu Bu and Gao Shun to the big tent of the Chinese army to arrange the matter of entering Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.

Not long after, the two came together, and as soon as Lu Bu entered the door, he saw Ma Chao, his phoenix eyes were round, he held the hilt of the sword, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Ma-Meng-Qi!" ”

Ma Chao smiled slightly, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Fengxian, don't come to harm's okay?" I haven't seen you for two years, and my super martial arts have improved, if I have the opportunity to learn from Brother Feng again? ”

Lu Bu's expression was cold, and he said disdainfully: "If you hadn't relied on the benefits of the war horse back then. How can you win against me? Let's fight again. You don't have that much luck? ”

Ding Yuan saw that the two of them were full of gunpowder, and hurriedly persuaded: "The two of them were heroes at that time, why fight for victory or defeat for a while?" Dong thieves occupy the capital and are arrogant. Have a heart of usurpation. I am the ruling gold of the imperial court. Sooner or later, he will have to fight with Dong Lao. The two of them should abandon their previous suspicions and work together! ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "What my uncle said is reasonable!" Remember your uncle's words! ”

Lu Bu snorted coldly and did not answer.

Early the next morning, a group of more than one person entered Luoyang City from the north gate. Go straight to the Royal Palace. He Hou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Ding Yuan and Ma Chao were coming together, and immediately arranged to meet in Deyang Palace. The military ministers of the DPRK and China are also in good spirits, Ding Yuan and Ma Chaoke are both figures with military power, which can just check and balance Dong Zhuo and change the situation of Dong Zhuo's control of the government!

After the ceremony, the official shouted: "The sky is coming to the court, there is a table to play, and there is nothing to retreat from!" ”

Ma Chao took the lead and stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty! After the Enlightenment! Chen Yuan should not have entered Beijing in Jizhou, but the minister heard that Zhang Rang and other eunuchs had murdered the general, and tried to kidnap His Majesty and the King of Xie's escape. ”

He Hou was overjoyed and said coquettishly: "The champion Hou is loyal and can be seen in the moon!" The first emperor unfortunately died early, and the sky is still young, and he needs the support of the first emperor's important ministers such as the champion Hou and Zhi Jinwu! ”

Ma Chao said: "My Ma family has been working for the imperial court since the Guangwu period, and as the saying goes: the Lu of the food monarch is the matter of loyalty to the monarch!" What the minister does is also his duty! In addition, my father Ma Teng suddenly contracted a vicious disease, and I am afraid that he can no longer serve the king, so the minister took the first step to take his father to Yecheng to recuperate, and now he has a resignation letter dedicated to heaven! ”

He Hou frowned, of course she knew that Ma Teng was a hostage, and Ma Chao quietly took Ma Teng out of the capital. But now she needs Ma Chao to confront Dong Zhuo, who is more ambitious, and it is not good to offend the two big warlords together, so she nodded and said: "Filial piety is the foundation of the Han Dynasty's governance, and it is also human nature for the champion Hou to be filial to his parents, and this palace is approved!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you!" As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Ding Yuan stood up again, and said: "Your Majesty, after Qiyu, the champion Hou Gong is high and loyal to the Han Dynasty, and this time he did not hesitate to go all the way to Beijing to assist the imperial court, and the old minister thought that he should be reinstated as the champion Hou Guan, and allowed him to lead troops into Beijing Qingjun's side!" ”

He Hou nodded and said: "That's right, the queen was just a small punishment for a while, and now the palace will be the master to return you to the position of hussar general, and lead Jizhou Mu (read the full text of the legend of mortal cultivators)!" As for the matter of bringing troops into the city, it is up to Zhijinwu to make his own decisions! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you!"

He Wan was about to use the two of them to deal with Dong Zhuo, who was arrogant, anyway, she was going to move her mouth, and it was none of her business whether she succeeded or not. The ministers of the DPRK and China were also happy to see the two major local warlords confront each other, and none of them objected.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be furious after returning to the general's mansion, which originally belonged to He Jin, and scolded: "Good thief, the old man has never provoked you, but you have come to spoil the old man's good deeds, I swear to kill him!" ”

Li Ru shook his head and persuaded: "The lord is angry! Princess, please stop being angry! Ma Chao didn't bring many soldiers and horses here, and he really had no intention of fighting the lord with all his might! If the lord wants to achieve great things, he still needs to be patient! ”

Dong Zhuo said: "How to forbear? Although the thief did not name him today, the spearhead was directed at the old man! If the old man swallows his anger, won't it make people laugh? ”

Li Ru said: "The lord has completely controlled the important land of the capital division, why not be afraid of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses!" The son-in-law thinks that the current time should speed up the abolition of the establishment, and then the heavens will order the princes to let the horse return to Jizhou at high speed, if not, he can besiege and kill him in the name of rebellion. ”

Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "I want to lure this person to kill, and it will be a disaster sooner or later to keep it, what do you think?" ”

Li Ru frowned and pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Mengqi is the champion of martial arts in the world, his reputation is unparalleled in the sea, the lord has just entered Beijing, although he has collected most of He Jin and He Miao's parts, but its composition is mixed, and the military heart is undecided, if you kill the important ministers of the court for no reason, it may cause a mutiny!" Besides, even if he can succeed, the gains outweigh the losses, that Ma Chao also has a brother with heavy troops entrenched in Bingzhou and Jizhou, and Xiliang Han Sui is Ma Chao's father-in-law, if several parties come to attack with all their might, I am afraid that the lord will be difficult to resist! ”

Dong Zhuo felt reasonable, and said hatefully: "Empress He is so ignorant, she and He Jin conspired to poison Empress Dong, and when the old man establishes a new king, he will not let their mother have a good time!" ”

The next time, Ma Chao, Ding Yuan and other military officials suddenly received Dong Zhuo's invitation, banqueting the ministers and discussing the affairs of the court! Ma Chao is not afraid of Dong Zhuo's tricks, although he is ambitious, the possibility of blatant rebellion is still not big. After discussing with Ding Yuan, the two took Dian Wei and Lu Bu to lead the two elite soldiers into the city calmly for a banquet.

Entering the General's Mansion, the ministers had already been in place, such as Yuan Kui, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, Ma Yueyan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Ying and others were all in place, and after greetings, Ma Chao and Ding Yuan sat next to each other.

After a while, suddenly the official shouted: "Dong Gong has arrived!" As soon as the words fell, the pot-bellied Dong Zhuo laughed in, hugged his fists and said: "The old man is late, rude and rude, please forgive me!" ”

The ministers hurriedly clasped their fists and returned the salute. After taking his seat, Dong Zhuo glanced at Ma Chao and Ding Yuan with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the old man came to the capital from Guanzhong, and I hope you will take care of it. Please! "Drink it all!

"Dong Gong, please!" Everyone drank a cup.

Ma Chao put down the bronze wine jue, hugged his fists and said: "I have heard for a long time that the name of Dong Thorn is like thunder, when the Yellow Turban was defeated, Dong Thorn Shi led the Xiliang Army to defeat again and again, and the battle achievements were so prominent!" Although he was still young back then, he also heard of the name of Dong Thorn History, and now it is better to meet when he sees it. ”

Ma Chao's words were obviously compliments, but in fact they were sarcastic to his face, and he directly pulled out Dong Zhuo's old background (the latest chapter of ruling the world). Dong Zhuo's face was pale, he gritted his teeth, and his hands trembled with anger. The ministers below wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Suddenly, I only heard "Bang! With a crisp sound, Dong Zhuo slammed the table with his right hand, only to make the wine lord jump up, and then laughed: "Champion Hou is really interesting, what is the old man's merit?" Your Ma family is a famous minister in the world, but your father gathered a crowd to rebel with the rebellious Han Sui and divided the locality, and he was also repeatedly defeated at the hands of the old man! ”

Ma Chao sneered: "What a joke! My father was the minister of the dynasty, and my father-in-law Han Sui was also the general of Zhengxi, so what could I say about rebellion? Since Dong Tingshi is strong and strong, why should he use it to entrench himself in Guanzhong now? It seems that most of the Western Cool Land is in the hands of my father-in-law! ”

"You" Dong Zhuo was furious, and he was about to attack when he got up and held the hilt of the sword. Outside, Li Su led a team of personal soldiers to the door, dancing with swords and swords.

Ma Chao's expression remained unchanged, he drank a glass of water and wine elegantly, and said disdainfully: "Why, could it be that Dong Tingshi can't rebel, this is the foot of the sky, and you can't do whatever you want!" After speaking, he also stood up suddenly, and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword to face it!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Ru hurriedly got up and said, "The two of you are angry!" The two are ministers of the imperial court, how can they draw their swords against each other because they disagree? Isn't it a shame to say that it will go out! ”

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Zhuo has a word, please listen quietly!" After that, the pro-soldiers who rushed up with their hands waved their hands and retreated, and Zhengse said: "Since ancient times, the sky is the lord of all peoples, the respect of all peoples, and you can't set up a temple without prestige, and you can't build a temple, and inherit the sheji!" And when today's cowardly and young power, Junyi is lost, far less smart and good than the King of Hejian Xie, shrewd and capable, the old man wants to abolish the young emperor and establish the king of Xiewang to inherit the throne, what do you think?
