Chapter 32: Emperors Are Not Emperors and Kings (Part 2)
"Who's coming?" Yang Yi stepped forward with a knife and asked loudly, and a group of officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion also stepped forward with knives and stood left and right.
Lai Jiang Ce immediately stepped forward and said: "Peng Mingong in central Henan, who are you?" Min Gong saw that the person in front of him was blackened and couldn't see his true face, but he could see that the way he held the knife with both hands was obviously not like Xingwu's background, but the aura of the armor soldiers around him was awe-inspiring, and he could be described as elite soldiers standing with a horizontal sword.
Hearing that it was Min Gong, Yang Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not Dong Zhuo's subordinates, although there were only dozens of horses behind him, but in this wilderness, it was extremely reassuring.
Yang Yi said in a soothing tone: "This official is Sun Yi, the deacon of the capital, and he protects His Majesty here, so don't hurry up and get off the horse to see you!" ”
Min Gong was taken aback, and immediately turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Lord Gongsun, and I asked the Lord to introduce him for the lower official." ”
"Min Gong, why did you come to make me so frightened!" Min Gong stepped forward with Yang Yi with joy on his face, but he was faced with the words of the young emperor's angry reprimand.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, although the last general is galloping in the starry night, but this place is very wide, and I ask Your Majesty to surrender if you are late to save your sins." Min Gong's heart was cold, he wanted to come to the rescue to be a great achievement, but now it seems that it is very likely to cause disaster.
"Lord Min doesn't have to blame himself, there is chaos in the palace, we are all unable to protect ourselves, Lord Min and Lord Gongsun are all ministers of the humerus, and His Majesty and the king must remember the grace of the rescue." Seeing that things were stiff, King Chen Liu hurriedly spoke to appease.
Min Gong hurriedly clenched his fists and hurriedly said that he didn't dare, although the young emperor Liu Wei was a few years older than Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, just a few words, and suddenly made a judgment.
Yang Yi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the king, I heard that there are many wolves and bandits here, so you must not stay for a long time, it is better to go on the road early and return to the palace as soon as possible." ”
"There are wolves! Hurry, hurry back to the palace! Liu Wei staggered to his feet, his face was full of fear for a while, how could there be the majesty of the great Han Emperor.
Immediately, a soldier gave up three horses for the young emperor, Chen Liuwang and Yang Yi to ride, and the rest of the knights dismounted and followed, slowly moving towards the direction of the palace.
After walking for a short time, there was a light cavalry in front of him, and the leader of the army was Cao Cao, Cao Cao stepped forward to meet the emperor, Chen Liuwang was embarrassed for a while, and soon Yuan Shao and other civil and military courtiers also arrived one after another, and the team was full of three or four hundred people.
Although there were many twists and turns, he finally managed to save the young emperor and Chen Liuwang, as long as he returned to the capital as soon as possible and advised the young emperor to summon Dong Zhuo not to enter Beijing, so that everything was under Yang Yi's control.
It's just that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, at this time, a group of generals appeared in the distance, at a glance, there were thousands of people, looking at the armor and clothing, not the Kyoto sergeant, Yang Yi was shocked, and the only person who brought foreign troops into Beijing was Dong Zhuo, a powerful man in the northwest.
Yang Yi couldn't wait to set up the young emperor to escape back to the palace at this time, but not to mention whether he could successfully escape, even if the ministers stupidly watched Yang Yi leave with the young emperor and did not stop it, I am afraid that this reputation of running away when he sees people will not only damage the emperor's prestige, but also very likely to make Yang Yi a prisoner.
Yang Yi clenched his fists and hesitated for a while, but in the end he had no choice but to let go and give up, planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, although he has planned for a long time in the future, but in the end, the wheel of history seems to be unstoppable, and the only way to do this is to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's unstable foothold to take the lead in attacking.
Seeing a group of hundreds of people coming slowly in the distance, Dong Zhuo, who was riding a horse, immediately ordered his generals to lead the troops forward, and led a group of Xiliang Jing to ride forward on horseback, blocking everyone's way.
"Who are you?" Yuan Shaoce immediately stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.
"Xiliang stabbed Shi Dong Zhuo's account under Xu Rong, who are you and the others!"
The coming general is actually Xu Rong, Yang Yi was shocked, Xu Rong was the famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty who broke Cao Cao in Bianshui and defeated Sun Jian in Liangdong, Yang Yi's heart was hanging, and he knew very well that if he wanted to defeat Dong Zhuo, he must first break Xu Rong.
Yuan Shao did not answer, but said coldly: "Your Majesty is here, why don't you get off the horse and see you soon!" ”
Xu Rong fixed his eyes and saw a young man in the team, dressed in Tude Emperor Huang**, although he was embarrassed, but the white light around him was respectful, presumably His Majesty was not fake.
Xu Rong was shocked and hurriedly dismounted, and when he was about to meet him, suddenly a burly and rude general stepped forward and asked sharply: "Where is the Son of Heaven?" ”
His eyes swept to the young emperor riding on the horse, where had the young emperor seen such a fierce and evil person, he trembled for a while, he couldn't speak, and he didn't even dare to raise his head and dare to look at Dong Zhuo.
Although the hundred officials were angry in their hearts, although Dong Table was arrogant, he was asking the Son of Heaven, if others responded, it would be suspected of overstepping.
Dong Zhuo pulled the reins to stop the war horse, and carefully looked at the people in front of him, but he didn't expect that the emperor of the Han Dynasty would win weakly, and there would be no capable people in the court, Dong Zhuo's expression became more and more arrogant.
At the time of the stalemate, Chen Liuwang lema stepped forward and said, "Who is coming?" ”
Dong Zhuo was slightly surprised, and seeing that he was riding on a horse in front of him, Chen Liuwang, who was only ten years old, replied: "Xiliang stabbed Shi Dong Zhuo." ”
Chen Liuwang said coldly: "Is Dong Tingshi here to protect the driver, or is he here to hijack the driver?" ”
Zhuo Proudly replied: "I'm here to protect you." ”
Chen Liu sneered: "Since you are here to protect it, the Son of Heaven is here, why not get off the horse?" ”
Dong Zhuo was shocked, hurriedly dismounted, knelt on the left side of the road and hurriedly kowtowed, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart for a while. Yang Yi rode on a horse and looked at Dong Zhuo, although he was slightly bloated in armor, but he was also a tiger with a bear's waist, and he was powerful, worthy of being a border general who had fought against Qianghu for many years.
Yang Yi remembered that Dong Zhuo was born in a wealthy local wealthy family, pampered since childhood, and formed an indulgent and willful, rough and ferocious character when he was a teenager.
As soon as he appeared, he showed off his martial arts to intimidate the ministers, forcing the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to lower his eyes and not dare to look directly, perhaps it was not accidental that Dong Zhuo occupied the capital in history.
"Minister, Xiliang Thorn Shi Dong Zhuo sees it!"
The young emperor Liu Wei stepped forward under the traction of the soldiers, seeing that Dong Zhuo was fierce and vicious, with a hideous face, like a hellish ghost, and then looked at the murderous aura of the Xiliang elite soldiers on the left and right, his whole body trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a while.
However, Chen Liuwang said loudly: "In the past, when you crusaded against the Yellow Turban, you were guilty of losing your soldiers!" ”
"Wechen is guilty." Dong Zhuo was shocked, and hurriedly clenched his fists and kowtowed, who would have thought that he would mention old things at this time.
Back then, Dong Zhuo took over Lu Zhi's troops to attack the Yellow Turbans who were defeated one after another, but because of the light enemy's rash advance, he was killed by the Yellow Turban Army and lost his armor, losing his troops and losing his generals.
"Today's new creation of the imperial court, you saved the fight in time, it is really a great achievement, I hope you will make up for it." Although Chen Liuwang was young, his tone was solemn, and the combination of grace and power made Dong Zhuo fearful for a while, and all the courtiers looked at each other, all of whom were impressed by Chen Liuwang.
"Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best to serve the court!" Dong Zhuo hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Chen Liuwang said loudly: "Everyone listens to the order, and they can escort the palace to change." ”
Dong Zhuo got up and rode his horse, and a group of Xiliang ironclad troops lined up left and right, surrounding the entire emperor team and a group of courtiers, Yang Yi took a deep look at Dong Zhuo.
Since the battle in the capital is unavoidable, then it is superior on the battlefield, although Tian Yu is not around, but his subordinate army Hou Luliang has controlled the northern army, if it is in terms of numbers, the army led by Yang Yi occupies an absolute advantage.
The only current uncertain factor is that the nearly 10,000 Bingzhou troops controlled by Ding Yuan are stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and the nearly 10,000 forbidden troops controlled by He Jin's brother He Miao have become uncertain factors in Luodu.

Back at the Xiliang military camp, Dong Zhuo turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet casually, and said to Li Ru, who was following on the side: "The old man is weak today, but Chen Liuwang is smart and wise to inherit the big position. ”
"I deeply feel the same way, I heard that the first emperor liked the prince's association, but did not like the prince's discernment, and when I saw it today, it seems that the previous rumors were not rumors."
Stepping into the big tent, Dong Zhuo sat down and drank wine, suddenly put down the wine glass and asked, "If the old man abolish the young emperor and set up the king of Chenliu, Wenyou, do you think it is feasible?" ”
Li Ru has followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and it seems that he has the intention of asking, but in fact, he has another deep meaning, since Dong Zhuo has proposed the matter of abolishing the old and establishing the new, he has actually made a decision, and he will never change his mind easily, Li Ru knows very well that Dong Zhuo just wants a supporter, or more in the name of supporting the new monarch.
Li Ru stroked his beard and chuckled: "It's also a good idea for the lord to take advantage of the abolition of the establishment to make a statement. Sure enough, as soon as Li Ru's voice fell, Dong Zhuo was immediately overjoyed.
Dong Zhuo is also very familiar with Li Ru, even if he can't do anything, he will try his best to think of countermeasures for him, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have used Li Ru so much over the years.
"The old man has been in Xiliang for a long time, and I am not familiar with the affairs of the court, how can those arrogant courtiers tolerate me, if they want to establish authority and stand in the current dynasty, the only way to enter with iron armor is to abolish the old emperor and establish a new monarch."
"Abolish the old and establish the new, it is really a wonderful strategy, after thinking about it, the lord can get two benefits from this move." Li Ru was quick to think, and soon thought of the name of a teacher for Dong Zhuo.
"Wen You, what's the idea, come quickly." Dong Zhuo stood up suddenly, urging with a little urgency.
In the past, Yi Yin and Huo Guang were abolished, all of them became famous through the ages, a generation of outstanding people, and the lord will inevitably go down in history if he imitates his ancestors, and this benefit is also. ”
Li Ru stroked his beard and walked slowly, suddenly stopped and continued: "This time, the lord has a meritorious service in rescuing the driver, and his authority is above the ministers. Abolish the old and establish a new emperor, you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the ministers, and then seek the world, and the second benefit is also. ”
Dong Zhuo stroked his palms and laughed: "Wen You, you are really my brainchild, because of this, the move of abolishing the old and establishing the new will definitely be achieved in one fell swoop." ”
Hearing Dong Zhuo's praise, Li Ru had no joy on his face, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord, although there are two benefits, there is also one harm. ”
"And what's the harm? Hurry up. "Dong Zhuo is very serious to Li Ru, since he mentioned a harm, it must be trivial.
"Since the beginning of the reign of Emperor Zizhang and the Second Emperor of our dynasty, there has been no one who has not been killed by the Ten Standing Servants in the court, such as Dou Xian, Chen Fan, and the newly killed general He Jin."
"Please forgive me for saying bluntly, those who support the new emperor are certainly powerful and famous, but they have also pushed themselves to the forefront of the storm, as if they are the target of the public, this harm, please think twice."
"Your heartfelt words are very good, but I, Dong Zhuo, am not Dou Xian and others, let alone the butcher He Jin and others, even if there are two benefits and one harm, abolish the old emperor and set up a new monarch, and follow the sky, how can there be a reason to be afraid."
"If it's such a big deal, it's a certainty." Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from inside the military tent.
