Chapter 159: Dong Zhuo's plan

Liu Wei and his entourage walked less than a few miles before they heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, and when they looked up, they saw flags almost wanting to cover the sun. Liu Wei panicked again in his heart, could it be that he had to fall into a more dangerous situation when he got out of danger at the right time? At this time, not only Liu Bian's face was pale, but the officials accompanying him were also shocked, at this time, where did Liu Bian still have the mood to think about where his brother-in-law was, and saving his little life was the key.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao had to muster up the courage to step forward and shout: "Who is coming? In front of the army, a man suddenly rode out of the horse, Yuan Shao looked at it, it was actually a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a stout body, and he stopped opposite Yuan Shao as soon as he lifted the reins and asked sharply: "Where is the Son of Heaven?" At this time, Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, also rode out of his horse, and walked in front of the visitor with a slightly immature voice: "Who is coming, why is it so arrogant?" The person who came to sit on the horse arrogantly said: "A certain is the Xiliang Thorn Shi Dong Zhuo, who came to exterminate the eunuchs on the order of the general!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xie's heart was relieved, so he said even more sternly: "You come to protect you, you come to rob you?" When Dong Zhuo heard this, he knew that he had found the right master, where did he dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly replied: "Naturally, I am here to protect you!" Liu Xie was completely relieved when he heard this, and then changed color and reprimanded sharply: "Since Dong Tingshi is here to protect him, the Son of Heaven is here, why don't you get off the horse?" Dong Zhuo saw that everyone behind Liu Xie immediately rolled the saddle and got off the horse, knelt on the ground and shouted long live, Liu Xie also got off the horse and helped Dong Zhuo to point to Liu on the carriage and said: "I am not the emperor, but the king of Chen Liu, and the one on the car is His Majesty." Dong Zhuo then returned to the car and saluted. Then the group went back to Luoyang together. Along the way, Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo were on the same horse, and they were even more comforting. There is nothing wrong with one's words and demeanor. Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look down on Liu Wei in his heart, as an emperor, he couldn't do it everywhere without being surprised. It's really not as good as the little prince in front of him, and at this time, he already has some thoughts of fat chef Liu Wei in his heart.

At this time, Xu Ji naturally got the news, and when he heard that Dong Zhuo was already close to Luoyang, he naturally immediately began to prepare for evacuation, and now Luoyang is in chaos, and it is a good time for Xu Ji to take the opportunity to break away. And said that at this time, Dong Zhuo had only traveled less than five miles outside Luoyang City, and there was a troop rushing out of the oblique stab, Dong Zhuo naturally took the lead and immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "Who is coming?" "The eight feet of life in the coming life are very majestic. When he saw Dong Zhuo, he didn't answer and went straight to Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo was displeased, this was indeed not the time for side affairs, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After a short time, the group arrived in Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo ordered his corporal to camp outside the city first, and he escorted Liu Wei and Liu Xie to the palace. At this time, the Empress Dowager He also barely calmed down the chaos in the palace with the help of Lu Zhi, and when she saw Liu Wei, she naturally hugged each other and cried, so everyone cleaned up the palace, and everything went as usual except for the loss of the jade seal of the country. But where does Liu Wei still have the time and mood to care about the jade seal of the country? It's a blessing to be able to save my own life. At this time, Xu Ji had already led Gao Shun and the others to leave from Luoyang.

It is naturally impossible to say that he has no nostalgia for the imperial capital, but Xu Ji knows very well that he is far from being the kind of nobleman who can command in Luoyang at this time, and now the most important thing for Xu Ji is still survival. Since hearing the news of Dong Zhuo's entry into Luoyang, Xu Ji has already concluded that the world is bound to be in chaos. He didn't know Dong Zhuo. But it can be regarded as having heard of this person's personality and character, and the entry of foreign officials into the imperial capital will naturally lead to the original resistance of the original force, and there will inevitably be a bloody storm in Luoyang City, as Xu Ji, who is also a person in Luoyang, of course does not want to make trouble for himself.

At this time, Dong Zhuo also encountered huge trouble. Because it was a light trip, I came to Luoyang. Therefore, there are not too many soldiers under his command, and these soldiers in his hands alone are obviously not enough to suppress these Luoyang clans. At this time, Liu Wei, who learned that Xu Ji had left Luoyang, wanted to add to the crime, but after remembering Dong Zhuo's arrogance and arrogance, he also stopped thinking about it. I don't know when he Liu Wei is still counting on his brother-in-law to save himself from fire and water. But this is destined to be impossible.

Let's say that Dong Zhuo was worried about the soldiers, and he heard someone knocking on the door. Someone pushed the door in and saw it. It is his son-in-law Li Ru, who is not only the chief strategist under Dong Zhuo, but also his proud son-in-law. Seeing that it was Li Ru coming, Dong Zhuo also grinned and said, "How could Wen You have time to come?" Is everything in the camp taken care of? "Li Ru is not like Dong Zhuo from a reckless background, he was originally a Lang Zhongling, but he was framed and excluded to Xiliang, Dong Zhuo thought of his talent and promised him as a woman, Li Ru thought that Dong Zhuo would work.

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ruwei frowned and said: "Xu Ji, the former commander of Jinwu and the military captain of Xiyuanxia, is missing, and the Xiyuan army with his department has also disappeared. Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo deliberately asked Li Ru to do it, saying that it was to be more intimate, but Li Ru himself was against the separation of public and private, but his father-in-law had an order, so he naturally couldn't help it.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he waved his hand and said: "I know that this kid, Huangkou Xiaoer, is afraid of the old man, so don't worry about him." Wen You, I don't have many soldiers on this trip, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress these fools in Luoyang, what do you say? Of course, Li Ru couldn't really not care as Dong Zhuo said, he was originally in charge of the affairs under Dong Zhuo's hands, and everything had to go through his hands, but at this time, he also knew that Dong Zhuo's first problem and priority was not to find a person who had abandoned the official who had disappeared, even if this guy was a colt.

However, Dong Zhuo's problem was quickly solved by Li Ru: "Why don't you use a suspicious plan?" Dong Zhuo's eyes rolled when he heard this: "What do you say? Li Ru was also accustomed to his father-in-law's temperament, so he explained directly: "Now there are few people in Luoyang City who know the reality of the father-in-law, and the father-in-law can lead the troops into the city in the morning and then lead the troops out of the city at night." Such repetition can naturally create the illusion of a huge number of soldiers in the hands of the father-in-law. Dong Zhuo naturally shouted a clever plan, and now this is indeed the most suitable strategy that Dong Zhuo can use. So Dong Zhuo immediately acted according to Li Ru's plan.

In this way, the people in Luoyang City are naturally panicked, and there are soldiers in iron armor passing through the market every day, and the quality of the soldiers of the Xiliang series is naturally nothing to say. As a result, the security in Luoyang City is naturally getting worse and worse. And with this situation rampant in the palace, no one dared to touch its edge for a while. Since Xu Ji left Luoyang, the post of lieutenant of Xiyuan was taken over by Bao Xin. Bao Xin saw Dong Zhuo acting so recklessly, so he went to see Yuan Shao and said: "Dong Zhuo, this person is afraid that he has different intentions, and he will watch his actions." If you don't get rid of it early, it will be a great disaster! ”

And Yuan Shao's idea is different from Bao Xin's, although he killed Zhang Rang and others, but he Yuan Shao didn't get any benefits from it, let alone what the Yuan family behind him had gained, so he naturally didn't want to have another dispute, even if he had to wait for him to get enough benefits. So Yuan Shao avoided replying: "Now that the young emperor has just returned to the dynasty, the court is newly decided, and I am afraid that it cannot be moved lightly." Bao Xin naturally heard Yuan Shao's euphemistic refusal from these words, and he stopped saying goodbye to Yuan Shaoduo and left.

But where is Bao Xin willing to watch the government corrupt Dong Zhuo so arrogant? Seeing that Yuan Shao had nothing to do, he went to see Situ Wang Yun again. Inform Wang Yun of his worries again, who knew that Wang Yun also hesitated and only said: "Let's discuss." There was no follow-up, and Bao Xin was already desperate at this point, and no one in Luoyang City was willing to stand up for justice. Bao Xin was already disheartened, so he followed the example of his predecessor, Xu Ji, and he also led his soldiers to leave Luoyang and go straight to Mount Tai.

But Bao Xin's abandonment of the official did not cause much trouble, compared to his small captain. There were more officials in the DPRK and China who chose to abandon their official positions, but of course this did not make Dong Zhuo change his approach. With the help of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo even persuaded the soldiers under the command of He Jin to surrender, so his power increased day by day, and no one in the court dared to make irresponsible remarks.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's heart naturally started his own little Jiujiu. He was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Wei when he greeted Liu Wei and Liu Xie before, but now that his power has stabilized, he naturally can't help but think of the abolition. But Dong Zhuo was not a fool like He Jin, so he immediately found Li Ru and asked: "I want to abolish the young emperor and set up King Chen as the emperor." What does Wen You think? Li Ru was originally opposed, but he could also see that although his father-in-law was asking about himself, he had made up his mind. And Li Ru is just acting with a cautious attitude, in fact, it is not impossible to abolish the establishment, just like Zhao Gao's finger deer as a horse back then, just to test some of the people in the court today who do not obey Dong Zhuo's orders, so Li Ru replied with a smile: "Now that the court has no owner, the young emperor is young and cowardly, if he doesn't act at this time, it will change later." In the coming day, the father-in-law can convene hundreds of officials in Wenming Garden and abolish them; If there is a disobedient person who beheads him, then the authoritarian act is today. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when Li Ru said this, his plan was to want to be in charge of the power alone, once he became the person who supported Liu Xie, he would inevitably make Liu Xie rely on, and then he would be above the ten thousand people under that person, which was naturally an extremely tempting thing, so Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Then I will hand it over to Wen You, you will handle it, no matter what, I just want the result!" Dong Zhuo said this is also exquisite, Li Ru naturally understands it, the so-called as long as the result is that Dong Zhuo doesn't care about Li Ru's means at all, this is nothing more than letting Li Ru let go of his hands and feet to do it, everything is with him Dong Zhuo, don't worry. Li Ru naturally nodded and agreed, but Li Ru may not be so willing in his heart, in fact, it is indeed not a suitable time to abolish the establishment at this time, even if Liu Zhuo is a little weak, but there is no big mistake, it can be said that Dong Zhuo's trip is tantamount to taking a risk, but Li Ru knows very well that he can't stop Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo is his father-in-law, he can only follow the order. Of course, the most important thing is that Dong Zhuo treats Li Ru very well, so Li Ru naturally thinks that he has the heart to serve the dead, which is very different from the relationship between Liu Hong and Xu Ji.

So Li Ru sent the prepared banquet to the homes of the ministers overnight, at this time Dong Zhuo was in power, how could anyone dare not obey Dong Zhuo's order? So at the banquet held by Dong Zhuo on the same day, all the ministers and ministers were not absent. Dong Zhuo naturally wants to pay attention to pomp, now that He Jin is dead, he Dong Zhuo is a meritorious rescuer, although there is no official reward, but Dong Zhuo is already a self-appointed general, so the pomp and circumstance should naturally follow the general. After the hundred officials arrived, Dong Zhuo slowly walked into the garden with his sword and set up his own banquet, looking arrogant. The ministers present naturally did not dare to say a word, but Dong Zhuo enjoyed this feeling of being above everyone very much, and did not order the meal until he was seated, but how could the ministers have an appetite? Dong Zhuo will never be called for nothing.

Sure enough. After a few rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo got up. Then he pressed his hands to signal to stop, and a minister naturally stopped his movements without daring to disobey. Dong Zhuo then smiled and said, "Everyone, Dong Zhuo has a word, please listen carefully." "Where do the hundred officials dare to resist, not to mention that although Dong Zhuo is smiling, he can't hear the faint threat in his tone? Dong Zhuo looked around the garden and saw that no one spoke, so he spoke: "The Son of Heaven is the lord of all peoples, and he can't serve the temple without prestige." However, today's saints are cowardly, and they are not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu, and they can inherit the throne. I want to abolish the young emperor and set up the king of Chenliu, what do the ministers think? As soon as these words came out of the garden, it was like falling into an ice cave. No one dared to speak.

Just when Dong Zhuo thought that no one dared to object, a person suddenly overturned the case in the garden and scolded angrily: "No! Cannot! Who are you who dare to speak such a big word? The Son of Heaven is the son of the first emperor, and he has no fault at the beginning, so why should he discuss the abolition of the establishment! Do you want to usurp and rebel? Dong Zhuo didn't know this person, and looked back at Li Ru behind him, Li Ru stepped forward and said, "This person is Ding Jianyang, the original assassin of Bingzhou." Dong Zhuo's face showed a sudden expression, and then he turned his head and scolded angrily: "The old man knows the truth? Don't you know that those who obey me live, and those who oppose me die? After that, he wanted to pull out his sword and kill Ding Yuan, but at this moment, a person behind Ding Yuan turned out. Dong Zhuo took a closer look at the young man he saw outside Luoyang City that day, and saw that this person was born with a majestic and majestic style, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd. Glowered. Dong Zhuo was shocked in his heart.

As soon as Li Ru saw that his father-in-law seemed to be worried, he hurriedly said: "Today's banquet place, don't talk about national politics; It's not too late to come to Hinata Metropolitan Hall. "Ding Yuan is also a person with a violent temper, and now that he has offended Dong Zhuo, he wants to make a big fuss, but he is stopped by the ministers present. So he had to get on his horse and leave angrily. As soon as Ding Yuan left, the young man naturally left with him, so Dong Zhuo turned to the ministers present and said, "Don't care about the old man's business." So he only asked the lord. What Dong Zhuo said, is it fair? ”

As soon as the words fell, one of them said: "It's a good idea." Celtaga unknown. Yi Yin put it in Tong Palace; On the 27th day of the king of Changyi, he created more than 3,000 evils, so Huo Guang sued the temple and abolished it. Although he is young, he is wise and benevolent, and there is no fault in the slightest. Gong is a foreign county assassin, has never participated in national politics, and has no Yi and Huo Zhicai, how can he force the lord to abolish the establishment? Sage Yun: 'If you have the ambition of Yiyin, you can, and if you don't have the ambition of Yiyin, you can usurp it.' ’”

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo was angry, and after a closer look, he realized that the person who spoke was Lu Zhi, although this old guy and Dong Zhuo had no direct grievances, but in the previous battle of the Yellow Turban, he took over the position of this old thing but was defeated, and almost lost his official position and was punished. Li Ru desperately stopped each other, and then Cai Yong and Peng Bo, who were in the middle of the service, admonished: "Lu Shangshu is expected to be seen by people in the sea, and he will be harmed first, and I am afraid that the world will be terrified." Dong Zhuo gave up, but he just glared at Lu Zhi and didn't change. Then Situ Wang Yun got up and saluted Dong Zhuo and said: "Please forgive the general, but the abolition of the establishment is related to the Han Dynasty, and you can't discuss it after drinking, please allow it to be discussed another day." ”

Dong Zhuo naturally knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to discuss matters today, so he reluctantly agreed, and then the hundred officials dispersed and returned home. Let's say that after the hundred officials dispersed, Dong Zhuo naturally wanted to return to the camp, and when he arrived at the gate of the garden, he saw a person galloping back and forth outside the park with a prancing horse and a halberd, it was the young man before, Dong Zhuo asked Li Rudao: "Who is this son?" It seems to be quite brave. Li Ru bowed down and replied: "This is Ding Jianyang's righteous son, named Lu Bu, since Fengxian, this person has made a great reputation in Bingzhou, I am afraid that he is not a good person, please avoid it first." Although Dong Zhuo has not been on the battlefield for a long time, the feeling that he practiced between life and death is still there, and the young man in front of him is like a hungry lone wolf, with a fierce killing aura from head to toe, where is Dong Zhuo interested in using knives and guns with such a person? So Dong Zhuo left from the path in the garden without mentioning it.

And Lu Bujiu waited for Dong Zhuo to have no choice but to return to the camp on his own. However, where is this calculated, early the next morning, Dong Zhuoshang was awakened from his sleep by his junior colonel before he got up on the bed, and only heard that it was Ding Yuan who led the troops to fight outside the camp, and immediately got up in anger and immediately led the troops out of the camp to confront Ding Yuan. The two sides each shot their own positions, and one person in Ding Yuan's formation was extremely prominent, with a golden crown on his head, a hundred flowers robe, Tang Yi's armor, a lion and a barbarian treasure belt, and a halberd on his horse, who is it not Lu Bu? And in front of Lu Bu was Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan saw that Dong Zhuo personally led the troops out of the battle, so he scolded Dong Zhuo with a whip: "The country is unfortunate, and the eunuchs take power, so that all the people are miserable. There is no size of merit, how dare you speak presumptuously about the abolition of the establishment, and want to mess with the court! Before Dong Zhuo could answer, he saw Lu Bu coming from Ding Yuan's array like an arrow from the string, riding a horse to kill Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuoqing knew that no one under his command could resist this tiger and wolf general, so even if Mingjin withdrew his troops. (To be continued......)
