On the night of the New Year, the Guardian Hall is brightly lit and lively.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to feast the ministers, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the Jiade Hall to receive the oral commendation of the Son of Heaven and affirm the merits, and then the ministers also praised the Son of Heaven Shengming, which was full of scenes, and at the same time praised the Son of Heaven Shengming, he also praised Prime Minister Dong Zhuo.

The atmosphere was a little nondescript, but the Manchu civil and military did not feel that something was wrong.

The young Emperor Xian is not very good at hiding his feelings, and his face is reluctant, and he seems to want to have a seizure several times.

Dong Zhuo was even more arrogant, and even forced the emperor to pour him wine.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw it in their eyes, and each had their own thoughts.

This kind of thing has long been accustomed to seeing it, and the ministers just didn't see it, bowed their heads and whispered.

By the end of the state banquet, all the officials left the palace with their own thoughts.

Not long after Wang Yun returned to the mansion, he received a shocking news.

The 30,000 Xiliang troops stationed in the camp of the Northern Army are taking over the city defense, and the 20,000 city guards have all withdrawn.

"How so, is this true or false?"

Wang Yun was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked a little angrily.

The spy who came to report replied: "It is true, the villain saw the withdrawal of the city guards from the city. ”

"Alas, this is the end of the trend!"

Wang Yun sat down on the soft collapse in a dejected manner, and his face was gray (.

After a long time, he hurriedly jumped up, "Quickly invite Lord Huang Wan, Min Gong, Li Su, and Jia Xu to come over the mansion to discuss." ”

The housekeeper waiting next to him hurriedly agreed, and quickly sent someone to invite Huang Wan and others.

Half an hour later, only Huang Wan hurried over, but the rest were nowhere to be seen.

Min Gong couldn't get out of the army. Li Su was not allowed to come because the Xiliang Army was in the military discussion.

"Jia Xu. Why didn't you come? ”

Wang Yun rubbed his eyebrows and asked.

The butler replied, "Lord Jia Xu has already left, leaving only a letter?" ”

"Left?"

Wang Yun's brows jumped. He asked, "Where is the epistle?" ”

The butler hurriedly handed over a letter.

Wang Yun hurriedly took it, opened it and swept it through the ten lines, and suddenly turned blue with anger.

"This guy is cunning, and he ran away early."

Wang Yun gritted his teeth and threw the letter aside, his face cloudy.

At the same time, the Lee Mansion.

"Jia Xu, why haven't you come yet?"

Li Ru's face was cold, and he stared at the housekeeper and asked fiercely.

The housekeeper wiped his cold sweat and said, "The old slave has already sent someone to invite." but they were nowhere to be found. ”

"Damn it!"

Li Ru's face instantly became gloomy, and his intuition was not good.

I originally thought that Jia Xu's family came strangely, but I didn't expect to disappear at this critical time.

At the moment, it seems that most of that guy has no good intentions.

It's just that the arrow is on the bow now, and it has to be sent, and there is no room for retreat.

Li Ru waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and ask General Duan Xuan to send troops all over the city, and be sure to catch Jia Xu." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The butler agreed. hurriedly retreated.

Ten miles away from the northwest corner of Luoyang, in a village.

Xu Chu opened the door and welcomed Jia Xu, who was dressed as an old peasant, in, and said with a surprised face: "Mr. is not in the city." Why is it outside the city, could it be that there are changes in the city, and it is no longer violable? ”

Jia Xu took off his straw hat. smiled and said: "General Xu Chu is a little restless, Dong Zhuo's old thief is about to seek to usurp the throne in the near future." The matter of Luoyang has been completed, in order to prevent changes. We should leave Luoyang overnight and return to Liangzhou as soon as possible. ”

Xu Chu was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, do you want to inform Lord Situ?" ”

Jia Xu sneered: "No need, Wang Yun, Li Su and others are not good birds, and they still want to borrow a knife to kill people, how can they do what he wants." Luoyang is a place of right and wrong, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, General Xu Chu quickly packed up, and I will leave tonight. ”

Xu stared at each other, and said in a deep voice: "So-and-so, let's prepare." ”

The next morning, Deyang Palace.

The annual meeting on the first day of the first lunar month can be said to be the most relaxing time of the year.

The court meeting on the first day of the new year does not discuss state affairs, the Son of Heaven wants to give wine to the hundred officials, and the hundred officials also have to offer gifts to the Son of Heaven, of course, this is just a kind of etiquette, but not to take the opportunity to loot money, but a kind of etiquette for the emperor and the courtiers to get closer.

According to the gifts, the annual court meeting at the beginning of the year is very grand, many details must be carefully arranged, there can be no mistakes, and the ceremonial guard and drum music are not allowed to be sloppy for half a day, which is to declare the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

However, the first court meeting in the third year of Chuping was very strange.

Many places have been messed up, and the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials don't even have basic honor guards.

The young Emperor Xian's face has always been very ugly, and when he gave wine to the hundred officials, he was interrupted again.

The hussar general Niu Fu was in charge of the palace and accused the Son of Heaven of being immoral, so that the world was in chaos, the people were hanging upside down, and the people were struggling to make a living.

Yang Biao, Chongfu and other treacherous people are even more righteous and awe-inspiring praise of a Tong Yao, Shun Zhide, and then the ministers have asked the emperor to follow Yao Shun's example of Zen concessions, Zen is located in the country meritorious Prime Minister Dong Zhuo.

Emperor Xian was stunned and at a loss.

Empress Dowager Dong, who listened to the government, also lost her voice in the palace and became distressed, which made the listeners sad.

Only Cai Yong, the servant, Zhu Jun, the general of the right chariot, and other ministers were angry and rushed to the crown, and when the palace scolded Dong Zhuo for being a thief, and reprimanded the civil and military ministers who were fighting for the tiger, Zhu Jun even drew his sword and rushed up, wanting to kill Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was furious, and immediately ordered the guards to take down the opposing ministers.

If it hadn't been for the hard persuasion of Li Ru and others, Cai Yong, Zhu Jun and others would have been dragged down and beheaded.

Cai Yong is a great Confucian and literary scholar in the world, and Zhu Jun is a famous general in the world, and he has a lot of influence inside and outside the government and the opposition.

However, it is a scourge to keep such die-hard elements after all.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand, and immediately cut off all the official titles of the two of them and sent them to the frontier.

Especially Cai Yong, who was assigned to the Captain Department of Huqiang to fill the army.

Of course, Dong Zhuo is not so kind-hearted, Cai Yong, an old man, is very well-connected in Shilin, and with Luo Zheng's actions, he will not be liked by Cai Yong. For Luo Zheng, people like Cai Yong are a trouble.

Take Cai Yong to Liangzhou. It's good to add blockage to Luo Zheng.

The ministers pressed, and Emperor Xian cried in fear. Run down the Danqi and escape into the apse.

But he was arrested by Niu Fu, Guo Yan and other Xiliang generals, and they scolded the emperor with a loud voice, and quickly issued an edict, and Zen was located in the prime minister.

Empress Dowager Dong cried and fainted a long time ago, but no one paid attention to it.

In desperation, Emperor Xian had no choice but to be His Royal Highness's edict, build a Zen platform, and do Zen concessions.

When the news spread, the whole country was boiling, and the world was in an uproar.

Liangzhou. Golden City.

After the end of the year, the weather has warmed up in just a few days.

Even though it is freezing in the northwest, the ground has completely thawed, and the farmers have begun to work in the fields.

Yungo city north, military camp.

Luo Zheng walked out of the barracks accompanied by Xun Yu, Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Zhao Yun, Yan Xing, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals, his brows were still twisted together, and he said: "I don't know how Jia Xu is connected in Luoyang, whether he can successfully kill Dong Zhuo, alas! ”

Xun Yu said: "It's up to people to make a difference." In any case, after the beginning of spring, our army will use soldiers. This is the best opportunity to kill Ma Teng and Lu Bu in one fell swoop, if you miss it, you don't know when it will be. ”

Cheng Ying also said: "What Lord Xun Yu said is extremely true. At present, Ma Teng and Lu Bu have not recovered, but our army is full of soldiers. It is indeed the best time to break Ma Teng and Lu Bu. If the two of them ease up, it will be difficult to try again. ”

Luo Zheng muttered: "How can General Ben not know. I'm just worried about the situation in Luoyang. ”

Zhao Yun said: "If you attack Ma Teng, you need to appease Lu Bu first, so as not to prevent our army from being attacked on both sides and the war will drag on for a long time." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "What Zilong said is extremely true, it is best to ask Lu Bu to create some trouble, so that he can't take care of the war in Liangzhou. Otherwise, if Lu Bu and Ma Teng join forces, it will be difficult for General Ben to defeat Ma Teng again. ”

Xun Yu said: "I have already thought of a plan before the next day, but Lu Bu and Ma Teng, so that they will not join forces, and they will be dedicated to the lord." ”

Luo Zheng said happily: "If Wen Ruo has any clever plans, come quickly." ”

Xun Yu said loudly: "At present, our army has not yet assembled, no news has leaked, and Ma Teng and Lu Bu are not yet prepared. Why didn't the lord punish hundreds of elite horsemen to pretend to be horse thieves and plunder the area of Ayang and Chengji under Ma Teng's rule. If there is a shortage of food in Lu Bu's army, Ma Teng must think that Lu Bu did it. At that time, the lord will lend Lu Bu a certain amount of military rations, which will be known to Ma Teng's spies, and Ma Teng will be on guard. The lord secretly invited Ma Teng to send troops to destroy Lu Bu, or it could be done. ”

Zhao Yun groaned: "What if Ma Teng doesn't move? ”

Xun Yu said categorically: "Of course Ma Teng will not send troops, but our army can let out a rumor that the lord has joined forces with Ma Teng to destroy Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu and Ma Teng will definitely guard against each other, and it is impossible to join forces to deal with the lord again." ”

Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Yan Xing and others suddenly realized this.

Luo Zheng said: "Wonderful, this plan is very wonderful, just follow Wenruo's plan." ”

Cheng Ying also said: "Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu has promised that at that time, the troops can go out of the pass and attack Wudu." ”

Luo Zheng said: "This is very good, but Zhang Lu is cunning and cunning, at most, he will camp the army in Sanguan, drag Ma Teng's hind legs, and contain some of Ma Teng's troops, it is unlikely that he will really send troops to attack Wudu, right?" ”

Cheng Ying nodded and said, "The lord is wise, and I think so too." ”

Luo Zheng asked again, "What about Ma Teng's troop deployment, have you figured it out?" ”

Cheng Ying replied: "Ma Teng has attacked Jincheng since last year, and has broken more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his current strength is similar to our army, with 15,000 cavalry and about 20,000 foot soldiers, of which the Didao garrison is about 8,000 and Wudu is 3,000 to guard against Zhang Lu; There are 10,000 troops in Xiangwu, who can go north to Didao at any time, and the rest of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Longxian. ”

Luo Zheng muttered: "In this way, Ma Teng has been guarding against General Ben, and I am afraid that it is impossible to raid Di Dao." ”

Xun Yu nodded and said: "Since the defeat of the troops in Jincheng last year, Ma Teng has stationed 8,000 troops in Didao to prevent our army from sneaking out of Yuzhong. Once our army sends troops, Xiangwu's 10,000 troops can go north to Didao as soon as possible. ”

Luo Zheng nodded, "Let's wait for the beginning of spring, we must send troops by the end of February at the latest, so hurry up and prepare." ”

"Yes."

Everyone gave up their hands and received their orders. (To be continued......) R1292
