Chapter 198: Fake Retreat
Dong Zhuo knew that Lin Sen was stationed in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, and that there were 100,000 troops threatening Luoyang, and he felt that he had been constrained by Lin Sen, and he was very unhappy, so he coerced the emperor to issue an edict and ordered Lin Sen to lead the army back to Jizhou, so that he could have free room to operate.
When Lin Sen saw the edict, he knew that this must be Dong Zhuo's strategy, and every sentence and word in the edict was what Dong Zhuo wanted to say.
How could Lin Sen let Dong Zhuo succeed, Lin Sen used the excuse of the revival of the Yellow Turban in the Sili area, and he was responsible for guarding the safety of Luoyang, that is, Lai did not leave in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, and at the same time sent a large number of sentinels to ambush around Luoyang, closely watching the movements of Dong Zhuo's department, but also to wait for Dong Zhuo's abolition, otherwise he would also be unknown!
In the past few days, Lin Sen received another prince, that is, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, he and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are all friends, especially with Cao Cao, the purpose of his coming is the same as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they are all to join Lin Sen to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Lin Sen put the plan and the plan out, after Bao Xin knew, he settled down directly in Lin Sen's military camp, ready to crusade against Dong Zhuo together, Bao Xin also brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as a little help.
Dong Zhuo saw that Lin Sen just didn't leave, and there was no way, he knew the combat strength of Lin Sen's army, and it was likely to suffer a loss if he rashly fought with Lin Sen, but he couldn't help but be aggressive, so he used the threat of force to force the imperial court to remove Sikong Liu Hong from his position, and he replaced him, so he didn't feel that it was enjoyable, in order to show his rights, and in order to further monopolize the central power, he decided to abolish Liu Wei and set up Chen Liuwang as the emperor.
Just do what he said, regardless of Lin Sen's attitude, Dong Zhuo began to lay out, first of all, he listened to Li Ru's advice and used talents on a large scale, especially scholars, like the great writer Cai Yong and Wang Zuozhicai Xun Yu, all of whom were recruited to serve in the imperial court at this time, and all of them were high-ranking officials, thus demonstrating his kindness.
Dong Zhuo felt that the time had come, so he invited many important ministers of the court to his mansion to discuss matters, and at the meeting, he said unscrupulously: "The young emperor is ignorant and cowardly, he cannot worship the temple, and he is not qualified to serve as the monarch of the Han Dynasty." For the sake of the country and the Han dynasty, I want to follow the story of Yi Yin Fang Taijia and Huo Guang abolishing Changyi, abolishing the young emperor, and re-establishing Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the son of heaven! ”
Most of the officials present were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and dared not speak out against his arbitrary and arbitrary behavior. Only Shangshu Lu Zhi objected to it in person, believing that the young emperor was only young and his behavior and character could not be compared with Taijia and the king of Changyi. Dong Zhuo was furious, he didn't expect Lu Zhi to be so disrespectful and dare to oppose him in public, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to push him out and behead him, but fortunately, Cai Yong tried his best to dissuade him, and Lu Zhi was saved from death.
Not long after, Dong Zhuo acted arbitrarily, deposed the young emperor Liu Wei, demoted him to the king of Hongnong, and renamed Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, which was Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Lin Sen saw these things in his eyes, and he was a little happy in his heart, he finally had a good reason to send troops, he was in line with the mandate of heaven and the people, and now he was trying to find a way, how could he defeat Dong Zhuo.
After the deposition of the emperor, Dong Zhuo looked down on Empress Dowager He again, believing that she hindered his free movement and prestige in the court. So, Dong Zhuo gathered his ministers and told the ministers about the so-called crimes of the Empress Dowager, telling her how she persecuted her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Yongle (the mother of Emperor Ling Liu Hong), so that the Empress Dowager died of anxiety. This kind of teaching, which violates the common sense of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and does not emphasize filial piety and etiquette, should be severely punished. After that, Dong Zhuo ordered the Empress Dowager He to move to Yong'an Palace.
After the change of Emperor Xian, Dong Zhuo promoted himself to the rank of Tai Lieutenant, became one of the three dukes, in charge of all the affairs and the affairs of the former generals, and later proclaimed himself the marquis of the county, worshiped the prime minister, and became the head of the three dukes, holding the power of the prime minister, which was done in a very short period of time.
Although Dong Zhuo is known as the minister of state "under one person, above ten thousand", his rights actually far surpass that of the emperor, and he enjoys privileges such as "praising and worshipping the nameless, entering the dynasty and not tending to the court, and going to the palace with a sword", and has been treated with Xiao He, the head of the founding ministers of the Han Dynasty.
The so-called one person attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascended to heaven, and after he himself became an official and became a knight, Dong Zhuo also used the privileges in his hands to wantonly crown the members of the Dong family. He first named his mother Chiyang Jun, and Yue Li was equipped with family orders and retainers, and his status was equal to that of a royal princess. At the same time, Dong Zhuo worshiped his younger brother Dong Min as the right general, and was named the Marquis of Yan, who had previously held this position as Huangfu Song, and also named his young granddaughter as the Yang Jun. What's more, he said: "Zhuo's concubines hold the middle son in their arms, and they are all marquises, and they are made with gold and purple."
Dong Zhuo's actions have made the heroes of the world extremely resentful, this is completely against the sky, and some people of insight are also actively preparing, such as Sun Jian, who is already ready to move, and players and guilds are also actively preparing for war, and they are also thinking about which camp to choose in the next plot to be more beneficial to them.
Yuan Shao persuaded his uncle Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng to leave Luoyang with their family, but Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng just refused to leave, no matter what Yuan Shao said, it was useless, and then after a conflict with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao left Luoyang alone and came directly to the Lin Sen military camp, and Cao Cao was the same, also in the Lin Sen military camp, ready to crusade against Dong Zhuo together.
Lin Sen's army was finally about to arrive, and news came that the army was in Hanoi County, and was rushing towards Luoyang, and it would not take a few days to arrive.
Lin Sen now has Cao Cao and Fu Zhu in the army, of course, Cao Cao's resourcefulness is definitely not as good as Fu Zhu, but he is also a resourceful person, and Fu Zhu put forward a suggestion, which was immediately recognized by everyone.
"Tell Xiangguo, Lin Sen has withdrawn his troops back to Jizhou!"
Dong Zhuo sent a sentry to monitor Lin Sen back to report Lin Sen's movements to him, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed: "Do you see that Lin Sen is moving the whole army to the camp, or is it part of the camp?" ”
"It's the whole army moving to camp, the villain can see it very clearly, it is estimated that this will all set off!"
"Hahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed: "Great, great, this evil star is finally gone, Luoyang is completely mine this time, someone is here to drink, and I want to get drunk!" ”
Soon, Dong Zhuo received the news that Lin Sen had indeed withdrawn from the palace, and he had taken the initiative to withdraw the army, the reason was very simple, it was a strategy of arrogance and a strategy of fiction and reality, with retreat as advance, Lin Sen retreated first, and then met his reinforcements, and then suddenly attacked Luoyang, this is the strategy given by Frustration, which will play an important role in the war, he handed an excerpt to the Son of Heaven when he left, which was actually made for Dong Zhuo to see, and the excerpt said that there was a resurgence of yellow turbans in Jizhou, and he asked to go back to quell the rebellion.
Dong Zhuo is the actual controller of the imperial court, the little doll Han Xiandi is just a puppet, Dong Zhuo is very happy to see the excerpt, Lin Sen finally sent away, he is also very sensible, and immediately named Lin Sen the Marquis of Qingquan, Lin Sen has also had a title since then, but he is the lowest pavilion marquis.
Lin Sen is leaving, but there are spies all over Luoyang City inside and outside the city, and he can't be said to know Dong Zhuo's actions well, but he also knows about major things.
"Brother Meng De, Brother Benchu, Brother Yuncheng, according to the report of the spies, Dong Zhuo really fell for the trick and relaxed his guard, we have a lot of room to operate!"
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao laughed, and Cao Cao said: "It's better to give Mr. Fu's strategy, Dong Zhuo is a reckless man in the West, without any resourcefulness, how can he be our opponent, we will win this battle!" ”
Yuan Shao also took over and said: "We should defeat Dong Zhuo at speed, broaden the universe, and we will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, we will all make immortal meritorious deeds, and we will also become heroes of the Han Dynasty!" ”
Yuan Shao has always been a child of a family, and all he thinks about is meritorious service and promotion, obviously Cao Cao and Bao Xin are also very keen on this, and their faces are excited, too, everyone will be happy to make immortal achievements, they are also people with ideals and goals, and now it is not yet the time for the heroes to divide the country, they are still serving in the imperial court, and they have not yet had the ambition to dominate the world!
Lin Sen smiled and said, "What Brother Ben Chu said is very true, let's make this immortal feat together!" ”
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, with their family fame, recruited a team of soldiers and horses after leaving Luoyang, but the number was very small, and the two together only had 10,000 people, which could be regarded as their support and help to Lin Sen
