At the beginning of the sixth year of Hanzhongping (189), Emperor Ling died, and the world shook. After several life-and-death battles in Luoyang, the prince Liu Wei ascended the throne as the emperor, and was assisted by the general He Jin and the Taifu Yuan Kui, He Jin defeated the eunuchs, mastered the eight captains of the West Garden, and commanded the forbidden army. It was already March when the news reached Hanzhong, and Chen Lin took the news that came back without a shadow and said to Jia Xu Yanpu and others: "Dahan, what is your surname from now on, woo hoo and mourn." He immediately ordered the whole county to pay tribute to the first emperor, and he was not allowed to laugh for three days.

In the secret room, Yan Pu: "Lord, now that the imperial power is falling, the relatives are domineering, and even the women are in the court, this is the beginning of the chaos, and the lord should try to settle down as soon as possible." After Yan Pu finished speaking, Chen Lin and Jia Xu were both surprised, Chen Lin and the others always thought that Yan Pu was a loyal and stubborn person, so many disgraceful things were hidden from Yan Pu, but they didn't expect that now that Emperor Ling had just died, Yan Pu would make such a big rebellious remark. However, it also shows the viciousness of Yan Pu's eyes, and he can see the current situation of the court at a glance. Yan Pu said that the woman in the court was talking about He Jin's sister Empress Dowager He, who intervened in the court politics on the grounds of the young emperor's youth after Liu Wei ascended the throne. But now although the He family dominates the court, in addition to squeezing out Liu Xie's faction and the eunuch faction, it does not have much harm to the Han Dynasty, so the He family's monopoly on the court is still within the tolerance of the people of the world. It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is only temporary, if the Han Liu family can't get back the power, then the ambitious people in the world will follow the example of the He family, and then the chaos in the world will come, and it will be even more chaotic than the yellow scarf. After all, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the scholars and Han officials worked together to defeat the thieves, but in the future, I am afraid that it will be a situation where the heroes are competing for each other.

Jia Xu rarely thinks like this Yan Pu, this is really Chen Lin's two important ministers are standing together, Jia Xu has a high opinion of Yan Pu in his heart, as a courtier, he hopes to seek benefits for his lord, of course, it is also for himself to establish an attack like Xiao He and Zhang Liang, and be admired by tens of thousands of people. Jia Xu said: "Lord Yan is reasonable, my lord, now some of the Liu clan relatives would rather go to one side as the state pastor, than stay in Beijing to contribute to the Liu family, the Liu family in Luoyang is weak, and the relatives and eunuchs are becoming more and more powerful, and sooner or later there will be a war." The most likely outcome is to lose both, allowing those with a heart to take advantage of the opportunity. Lord, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. "Jia Xu had already seen the shaking of Liu's country when he was in Xiliang, it was his teacher who went around to build momentum for Jia Xu, hoping that Jia Xu could be reused by the imperial court, when Jia Xu was recruited into Beijing, he saw the situation in Luoyang, and he was even more sure that the Han Dynasty would be in chaos. Therefore, Jia Xu did not have any feelings of loyalty to the Liu family in his heart, and Chen Lin let him give full play to his talents, so Jia Xu decided to do his best to plan for Chen Lin's future at all costs. Now that Yan Pu, a good old man, is playing as a striker, Jia Xu is of course taking advantage of the trend.

Chen Lin is already nearly thirty years old, thinking about the fact that he has been filial piety for more than ten years, he is no longer the ignorant and fearless stunned young man he was back then, and the problem is quite objective. Chen Lin knew that what Yan Pu and Jia Xu said was not without certain truth, according to Chen Lin's current situation, it is estimated that even if the imperial court ordered Chen Lin to give up the position of Taishou in Hanzhong, Chen Lin would dare to disobey. Therefore, Chen Lin said: "What should we do with Wenhe and Zhizhi's view? ”

"Gaozu" and "digging deep holes and accumulating grain" Jia Xu and Yan Pu coincidentally said the strategy used by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after finishing speaking, the two saw that each other wanted to go together, Jia Xu and Yan Pu looked at each other and laughed. And Chen Lin saw that the two had the same strategy, and remembered Zhang Jiao's ending, so he said: "On the table, respect the Han family, support the new emperor, and wait for his change." So Hanzhong County was almost the first to congratulate Liu Wei, He Jin saw Chen Lin's documents, and laughed happily, thinking that it was a role for Chen Lin to be the marquis back then, no, Chen Lin immediately supported his faction.

With the support of one after another local ministers, Liu Wei's throne seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, He Jinle is happy, and the eunuchs are in a hurry. Because He Jin is now in order to consolidate Liu Wei's position, he is constantly wooing scholars, and even the Yuan family, the first clan of the Han Dynasty, has reached an agreement with He Jin, and the Yuan brothers frequently go in and out of He Mansion. As long as He Jin does not make mistakes or make mistakes, the eunuch will definitely not escape in the end, because He Jin has the support of most people. Cao*, the captain of the military academy, suggested to He Jin that killing the eunuch could be achieved with only a small group of men and horses, but He Jin did not seem to be enough to kill the eunuch, so it seemed that it was not very difficult to kill the eunuch, so he could not show his general's merits, so he did not agree. He Jin thought that he had to do the killing of the eunuch vigorously, so that the world could see his He Jin's contributions, and He Jin was the savior of the Han Dynasty. So He Jin began to make trouble, and the tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang were not enough for the scene, so he even ordered the foreign ministers to bring troops into Beijing, why did he kill the eunuchs to build momentum. And sent several people to the Quartet to recruit troops, including Zhonglang General Yuan Shu, General Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Wang Kuang, etc. He Jin's offense was messy, and Coke broke one person, and that person was Dong Zhuo, the former general of the garrison in Hedong.

Dong Zhuo has a tyrannical temperament, but he is bold and magnificent, and has accumulated a lot of savings for Dong Zhuo in the southern and northern wars for many years, such as the think tank Li Ru Li Wenyou, Dong Zhuo was wooed by his eldest daughter, so Li Ru became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and confidant; The brave warrior Niu Funiu is generous, and he is also Dong Zhuo's son-in-law; There are also extraordinary fierce generals such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Hu Cen, etc., as well as tens of thousands of Northwest troops trained by Dong Zhuo for many years. At this time, after Dong Zhuo was withdrawn from Xiliang, he fell into a dilemma, Dong Zhuo was reluctant to tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and Xiaoxiaohedong couldn't afford to raise it, and when he didn't know what to do, he received a letter from He Jin.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said to Li Ru: "Wenyou, God favors you, hahaha." Li Ru didn't know Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru had to follow him no matter what, hoping that his wisdom would make Dong Zhuo make fewer mistakes, so Li Ru said: "Lord, if the lord enters Luoyang, there is naturally a way to feed this tens of thousands of troops, but the lord is a foreign minister after all, and he should try to stay in Beijing after entering Beijing, otherwise he will have to return to Hedong after a long time." ”

Dong Zhuo's face was full of scum, his steel-like body was dressed in iron armor, and he walked in the hall with a bang, saying, "Exactly, the butcher deserves to be a general, can he deserve it?" Li Ru was excited, and hurriedly said: "The lord is cautious. Dong Zhuo showed a fierce appearance, looked around, and said: "Why can't I say, which one dares to leak it, and screw off his head." The surrounding sergeants couldn't help but snort, which showed how tyrannical Dong Zhuo was usually. It is precisely because of Dong Zhuo's temperament that most of the fierce generals and sergeants under his command are afraid of Dong Zhuo, but they are loyal to him, because Dong Zhuo is extremely generous to his subordinates and protects his shortcomings, so the sergeants are willing to follow Dong Zhuo.

After speaking, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru again: "Wen You, how many soldiers should I bring this time?" Li Ru: "My lord, it is rumored that the general not only ordered the lord to enter Beijing alone, that is to say, the lord wants to have a certain amount of power in the Beijing division, and the strength is the only advantage of our army, so Confucianism thinks that the more the better." Dong Zhuo acted resolutely, waved his big hand, and shouted roughly: "Okay, then let's go all of them, a certain family can't treat anyone badly, go all of them." So Dong Zhuo's 5,000 black bears rode and more than 30,000 northwest troops rumbled to Luoyang. At the same time, Ding Yuan also led 8,000 elite soldiers from Bingzhou to the south overnight, all of whom were cavalry. With the dispatch of these two people, people from some forces in the world have gotten the news, because there is no intention to hide it, and many people are also ready to move. Luoyang alone, the military captain Cao * used alcohol every day to eliminate his sorrows, and after getting drunk, he scolded He Jin for the butcher and misguided the country, so Cao * became more and more unwilling to see He Jin.

Hanzhong Nanzheng, Chen Lin five people, this time Gao Shun and Chen Ze were also there, Chen Lin pinched his eyes with his hands, propped himself on the case, his eyes were closed, as if he was thinking deeply, and he seemed to be asleep, and the four people in the hall were not born. Suddenly, Chen Lin opened his eyes suddenly, and at a glance, his heroic spirit entered everyone's hearts, Chen Ze smiled and did not react, only feeling that his eldest brother was becoming more and more imposing. Chen Lin said: "The general actually ordered the former generals Dong Zhongying and Ding Jianyang to lead troops into Beijing, confused, what kind of person is Dong Zhongying, how can he be controlled by his general, Ding Jianyang can still say, this person is loyal to the country, but this Dong Zhongying, alas, confused, confused." "Indeed, Originally, He Jin just wanted Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing, but Cao * persuaded him hard, and in the end, Chen Lin was witty and asked He Jin to also order Ding Yuan, hoping to control Dong Zhuo. In fact, many people can see Dong Zhuo's ambition, but he is blind.

Jia Xu is the first person in Chen Lin's army to strategize, so he naturally began to speak: "Now the situation in the Han Dynasty is extremely unclear, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Xiliang has almost escaped the control of the Han Dynasty, and many local magnates are against the imperial court, coupled with the resurgence of the Yellow Turban, it can be regarded as more than civil strife, and there are many battles above the court, and anyone wants to occupy Luoyang. Chen Lin could also see that from the first time he saw Dong Zhuo in Yizhou, he could see that this person was not easy to control, even Zhang Wen, Duan Ying, Huangfu Song and others couldn't control Dong Zhuo, let alone He Jin.

Chen Lin is now slowly getting used to seeking personal gain, and he no longer thinks more about the Liu family, but Chen Lin also hopes to do something for the big Han. So he said: "Then how should I go in Hanzhong, how should I act, and if I enter Beijing and are in turmoil, how should I deal with myself in Hanzhong?" Chen Lin even remembered that Liu Yan in Shuzhong was also ill-intentioned towards him, and his mood suddenly darkened. The chaos is coming, and it seems that every step of the way is happening according to what Grandpa said back then, and Chen Lin doesn't even dare to talk to anyone about Grandpa's judgment back then. Chen Lin himself has been guarding this secret for many years, especially the realization of the language of this secret, which makes Chen Lin panic even more, chaos is coming, not civil strife like the Yellow Turban, but chaos like the Warring States, what can Chen Lin do, what to do, Chen Lin feels so heavy, so heavy.
