Chapter 103: Dong Zhuo's dictatorship

However, it is said that Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and other regular servants coerced Tianzi Debate and Chen Liuwang Xie, fled all the way, crossed the north, and reached the big river, and were caught up by Shangshu Lu Zhi and Peng Mingong in central Henan Province.

After a battle, all the entourage was killed, and Zhang Rang and others were forced to the river with the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu.

Knowing that he could not be spared, Zhang Rang put down the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liu, took a few steps back, straightened his clothes, fell to the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, I'll wait for this and go, no one will take care of Your Majesty in the future, you must take care!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Min Gong, Lu Zhi, Zhang Rang and the others with deep meaning, and they all turned around and threw themselves into the river.

After saving the Son of Heaven, Lu Zhi, Min Gong and others all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug the Son of Heaven and Chen Liuwang, preparing to return to Luoyang immediately to stabilize the overall situation.

After walking for a few miles, he encountered a farmhouse, so he requisitioned the open car in the farmhouse and carried the Son of Heaven and King Chen Liuwang to the house. At this time, there were ministers of the court and the central government who came one after another with their soldiers, so the Son of Heaven rode alone, and Min Gong rode together with King Chen Liu, hugged together, and went south to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo led from Xiaopingjin to Beibi Mountain, but he did not encounter any trace of the Son of Heaven, and chased him all the way to Xianyang Garden, where he saw that the fire in Luoyang City was still not extinguished, and he knew that the Son of Heaven should not have returned to Luoyang. Before dawn, Dong Zhuo led his troops to the west of the city, and when he heard that the Son of Heaven was in the north of the city, he hurriedly led the army to go with the ministers and several people, and met the Son of Heaven in Beibihan.

Dong Zhuo's 3,000 cavalry is the most elite Flying Bear Army under his command, with a rumbling momentum and a monstrous murderous aura, which can shock people's hearts from afar. The Son of Heaven was young and cowardly by nature, and seeing the power of Dong Zhuo's army, he finally aroused the fear that had been suppressed in his heart, and he suddenly cried silently.

The minister on the side thought that the Son of Heaven was frightened by Dong Zhuo, so Lu Zhi stepped forward and asked, asking Dong Zhuo to stop the soldiers and horses immediately. Dong Zhuo didn't care, he only said that the Manchu Dynasty could not protect the Son of Heaven, and they were all waste.

So he stepped forward to greet the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven did not answer. asked King Chen Liuwang again, and King Chen Liuwang told what happened in this day in an orderly manner.

Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be happy when he heard it.

While despising the Son of Heaven and being cowardly, he also felt that Chen Liuwang Xie was worthy of cultivation. I also thought that Chen Liuwang was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo had the same surname, and Dong Zhuo had always claimed to be a member of the Empress Dowager Dong's clan, so he was cordial.

At dawn, the Son of Heaven returned to the palace, and after the amnesty was granted to the world, the year name Guangxi was changed to Zhaoning, but it is a pity that the jade seal of the country was lost in this turmoil.

Then, the Empress Dowager He issued an order to make Ding Yuan, the commander of the state assassin and the commander of Wumeng, the governor of Jinwu, to guard the palace.

In Dong Zhuo's eyes, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all waste. It's just to get rid of the eunuchs, if he asks Dong Zhuo to do it, three or five hundred people can do it, and now it's like this, and even the safety of the Son of Heaven can't be guaranteed.

What's more, as soon as this matter was in trouble, Luoyang seemed very chaotic, and no one came out to preside over the overall situation, which made Dong Zhuo see a great opportunity, so the ambition in his heart was like a weed, and it grew irrepressibly.

However, in order to control Luoyang and control the government, the 3,000 soldiers and horses he personally led were far from enough. And the follow-up army will take a while to arrive, so Dong Zhuo's heart moved and he thought of a strategy.

Subsequently, every day or two, Dong Zhuo quietly let his troops out of the city at night, and then entered the city with great fanfare during the day, giving people the illusion that the army was coming in a steady stream. and gradually incorporated the army that was previously under the control of the great general He Jin into his command, so that some people in Luoyang City did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Bao Xin, a cavalry lieutenant, returned from Mount Tai to recruit troops, and saw the current situation, so he found Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao took advantage of Dong Zhuo's arrival in Luoyang and his foothold was not stable. But Yuan Shao was frightened by the illusion made by Dong Zhuo, and he didn't dare to move at all.

Then, when Dong Zhuo's follow-up 100,000 troops arrived in Luoyang, Yuan Shao and others found out that it was too late.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo was named the Taishi, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

In the entire Luoyang, except for the 20,000 or 30,000 troops in the original Jin Wu Dingyuan, which were not under Dong Zhuo's control, the rest were all controlled by Dong Zhuo.

In September, Dong Zhuo met his ministers and proposed to follow the example of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, prepare to abolish the young emperor, and set up King Chen Liu as the son of heaven. He put a large ding, and if there was a resistant, he was killed and cooked in it.

At that time, Yuan Shao burst out, scolded Dong Zhuo, and even drew his sword to face each other. Dong Zhuo considered that there was a Taifu Yuan Kui behind Yuan Shao, and he was a representative of the family, and the ministers present dissuaded him, so he did not kill Yuan Shao.

But after the banquet, Yuan Shao was afraid that Dong Zhuo would be unfavorable to him, and fled from Luoyang overnight. Dong Zhuo knew that Yuan Shao was running at night, and he couldn't help but be furious, so he was ready to order Yuan Shao to be arrested. Zhou Bi, Wu Fu and others dissuaded them, and only said that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were well-known at home, which made Dong Zhuo jealous, so he turned to Bohai Taishou.

There is also a ruling Jin Wu Ding Yuan, who clearly expressed his opposition. However, Dong Zhuo was afraid of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Ding Yuan's command, and it was difficult to start for a while, so he made Li Su, the general of Hu Benzhonglang, visit in the name of the villagers, and induced Ding Yuan's troops to kill Ding Yuan and collect all his subordinates.

Ding Yuan died, Dong Zhuo was no longer in the way, so he coerced the Empress Dowager He, abolished the young emperor as the king of Hongnong, and helped Chen Liuwang Xie to be the son of heaven.

Soon, Dong Zhuolu killed King Hongnong, Empress Dowager He, and killed Empress He's mother Wuyangjun to prevent future troubles.

Liwei was completed, and then, in order to consolidate his authority, Dong Zhuo wantonly wooed the ministers of the court and the central government, and the sons of the ministers were appointed as langs, so as to supplement the position of eunuchs and serve in the palace.

He also named the former Youzhou Mu and Taiwei Liu Yu as the Great Sima and Xiang Benhou, and added the Taizhong Doctor Yang Biao as the Sikong, and Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan as the Situ.

Subsequently, Chen Fan and other party members who had experienced the disaster of the party at the beginning, and even Dou Wu were rehabilitated, and their titles were restored, so that people mourned them and reused the heirs of these people.

That's not all, Dong Zhuo also recruited celebrities from all over the world and prepared to appoint them on a large scale to gain public expectations. For example, Chen Liu's celebrity Cai Yong, Shen Tupan, Yingchuan celebrity Chen Ji and so on.

Even Dong Zhuo sent someone to recruit Xun Shuang, but Xun Shuang was already in Liangzhou, so naturally there was no one to recruit.

He also appointed Shangshu Han Fu as the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai as the assassin of Yanzhou, Chen Liukong Ling as the assassin of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao of Dongping as Chen Liutaishou, and Yingchuan Zhang Shi as the Taishou of Nanyang.

And Dong Zhuo's own generals were not promoted, and they were still in their original positions.

This qiē was made just to show that he, Dong Zhuo, respected the virtuous.

Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, was not angry with Dong Zhuo for abolishing the Son of Heaven, knowing that the government was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and it was difficult to do anything in Luoyang, so he ignored Dong Zhuo's reuse, changed his name with makeup, and went to Luoyang with a print, and was wanted by Dong Zhuo

When Li Zheng learned how turbulent Luoyang was, it was already November.

In recent years, the inconvenience of communication and transportation is the biggest shortcoming. Although Li Zheng has the magical communication war horse of the Blue Xiang Bird, but unfortunately, the Blue Xiang Bird has a number after all, and it is already the limit to be able to take into account the entire Liangzhou, and in a short period of time, it is impossible to extend the tentacles to Luoyang, which is thousands of miles away.

All the news far away from Liangzhou still needs to be delivered by manpower.

Shenzhou grassland, in Li Zheng's study.

Li Zheng, Xun You, and Jia Xu sat down as guests.

Xun Ying served tea to the three of them, and then retreated.

"I didn't expect that so many big things happened in Luoyang in a short period of time" Xun You sighed again and again, looking at Li Zheng with a pair of eyes, meaning inexplicable: "The time when the lord chose to attack Han Sui is really just right." ”

Jia Xu was calm on the side and did not speak.

As Li Zheng's forces became bigger and bigger, Jia Xu spoke less and less, unless Li Zheng intended to ask. He was consciously hiding himself.

In this regard, Li Zheng saw it in his eyes, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Jia Xu is engaged in intelligence work, and the more he can fade out of people's sight, the more advantageous it will be. At the same time, Li Zheng also understands Jia Xu's character, and Jia Xu will do it in that direction if he endangers his net worth, or as long as he can ensure his own net worth.

Under Li Zheng, if Jia Xu wants to ensure his net worth and life, he must conform to Li Zheng's intentions in all aspects, which is the direction of Jia Xu's efforts.

"Haha," Li Zheng snorted and said with a smile: "It's just a little guess." As he spoke, he said: "Now Dong Zhuo doesn't have the energy to take care of Xiliang, and he has to completely solve the internal trouble before he recovers." ”

At this time, Jia Xu spoke: "Don't worry, lord. In Liangzhou, most of the forces have been disintegrated, and as for some slight ringworm scabies, General Pang De will definitely be able to deal with it properly. ”

In the past two or three months, Li Zheng's rapid defeat of Han Sui shocked Liangzhou, which made the Qianghu tribes tremble. During the period when Jia Xu stayed in Hanyang, he used various strategies and the power of Li Zheng's great victory to break up the loose alliance of the Qianghu tribes, and quickly dispatched troops to defeat the largest Qianghu tribes before returning to Lingzhou.

Li Zheng bowed slightly: "Pang De has the ability to transfer Zhang Shan and Nuluo to Longguan after the Zhuqiang ** is determined, and 30,000 troops are stationed to guard against Dong Zhuo." As for Pound, he was transferred to Baishuichuan. ”

Xun Yu and Jia Xu bowed their heads together.

Next, Li Zheng will face the Huns.

And the four generals under Li Zheng, Zhang Shan and Nuro, because of their slightly more stable personalities, tend to be defensive types. The white wolf is more aggressive, and as for Pound, he can attack and defend both offensively.

This arrangement is in line with common sense.

"In addition," after saying this, Li Zheng said to Jia Xu and Xun You: "Now the territory is becoming more and more extensive, the education system has just been rolled out, and the self-sufficiency of talents cannot be achieved. Presumably, Mr. Gongda also felt a little stretched. ”

Xun You nodded yes.

"Both gentlemen are celebrities, and they must have a lot of friends. Those who can associate with the two gentlemen must not be idle. I wonder if you can introduce me to some? ”

The so-called dragon does not live with snakes, and those who can make friends with Jia Xu, Xun You and others must be capable people. Li Zheng thought that in the history of that time and space, most of the great powers under Cao Cao were recommended by friends and confidants, and they worked for Cao Cao.

So Li Zheng hit the idea on Xun You and Jia Xu.

Although at this stage, there are Xun You, Jia Xu and Xun Yan, which are enough for the time being. But Li Zheng is not too many talents, his territory will get bigger and bigger, and the gap of talents will become bigger and bigger.

Hearing this, Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, Your Majesty has some friends in Yingchuan, and after going down, he wrote to ask for it, as for the result, His Majesty dare not judge." ”

Although the situation of Liangzhou is actually better than most places, especially the surrounding area of Lingzhou, which can be described as the best in the world, Liangzhou is still a barren and bitter cold place in the eyes of most people. So Xun You can't guarantee whether he can invite those friends.

But Jia Xu shook his head slightly, and said: "I disappointed the lord, Xu is not as good as Gongda, and I really don't have any confidants and friends." ”
