Chapter 40: The Third Task Dong Zhuo of the Three Kingdoms 8

Historically, in order to solve financial difficulties, Dong Zhuo adopted the method of minting small money. In the end, the price of grain soared and the credit of the imperial court collapsed.

Thinking about the person who gave Dong Zhuo this idea, it was the Kwantung clan, and he understood their sinisterness. In order to bring down Dong Zhuo, they don't care about the life or death of the people in the world at all. How can a battle-hardened general know the way of economy. Dong Zhuo gave these Kwantung soldiers the greatest trust and reliance.

The Kwantung scholars rewarded him with 10,000 percent of their malice, and Dong Zhuo let them enter the center, so they planned to expel Dong Zhuo at a high price for the well-being of the people of the world. Dong Zhuo asked them to serve as the captain of the city gate, and they let go of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, who burned the South Palace, Dong Zhuo promoted them, and they turned their faces and organized the princes to fight Dong.

No matter how righteous the party people claimed, there is no doubt that the Eastern Han Dynasty died at the hands of the party members.

Regardless of the dynasty, party strife is the way to defeat.

In May of the second year of Zhaoning, Lu Renbing got the edict and became the first prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. One person is below and ten thousand are above.

After the training of the army under Lu Renbing was completed, Lu Renbing began the second phase of the campaign, and LĂź Bu and Zhang Liao were ten thousand troops and horses of the Western Route Army, starting from Hetao, outside the Great Wall, and marching eastward to attack the Xianbei Budugen group. Xu Rong led 40,000 men as the commander of the Middle Route Army, set out from Taiyuan and crossed Yanshan to the north, attacking Daijun and Kirbineng in Shanggu.

Niu Fu and others led an army of 50,000 to attack Zhang Yanbu of the Montenegrin Army living in the Taihang Mountains.

The policy for Zhang Yan is to surrender, Zhang Yan is known as a million yellow scarves, most of them are women and children, it is good to have 100,000 people who can stand, the focus is to occupy the Taihang natural risk, so as to disperse and hide.

Lu Renbing and Tong Niu assisted them in their actions, and when they went to the party, they incorporated Zhang Yang, who was fighting guerrillas here.

Lu Renbing's order to Lu Bu was to ignore the process and only look at the result. Lu Bu and them, Lu Renbing doesn't care what to do on the grassland, as long as they drive the Xianbei people as far away as possible, Lu Bu and Xu Rong are all cavalry, and both of them are good at riding battles. Lu Renbing fully delegated power to them, and did not limit their time to fight. When love hits, when it hits, love hits when, it hits when.

The looted property on the grassland, the population Lu Renbing divided with them. This is equivalent to releasing 80,000 well-armed beasts. Let the Xianbei people have a headache.

The current Xianbei is not the powerful Xianbei of the Western Jin Dynasty. Although they defeated Xia Yu and them, the death of their leader Tan Shihuai caused the powerful Xianbei to fall into division again, divided into three divisions, each of which was only tens of thousands of warriors. The Xianbei tribes only dominate the grassland, but they do not completely dominate the grassland.

It's okay to harass Hanbian County, but in the face of the crusade of the regular army of the Han Dynasty, they can't do it now. Facing the 80,000 beasts released by Lu Renbing. Lu Renbing was worried about them. Hopefully, Budugen and Kebi can run fast enough.

Lu Renbing led an army of 80,000 to cross the Taihang Mountains and enter Jizhou, leaving another 40,000 horses to hold the passes to prevent the Montenegrin army from entering the state.

Lu Renbing commanded the generals to enter Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi counties respectively, slowly sweeping the periphery of the Montenegrin army, and gradually forcing the Montenegrin army back to the Taihang Mountains.

Lu Renbing urged the armies not to advance rashly, step by step, and gradually press, not to give the Montenegrin army any chance to counterattack. While pressing the Montenegrin army, he cleaned up the heroes along the way, under the pretext of being bandits. Lu Renbing also urged the rest of the counties in Jizhou to help people and salaries. The counties were initially resistant.

Soon, however, there were a large number of yellow turban thieves in these states and counties. These Yellow Turban thieves came and went like the wind, breaking the fort of Haoqiang and plundering the weakly defended county seats. Soon, these counties had to invite Prime Minister Dong Cheng to send troops to help suppress and stabilize the place. Prime Minister Dong readily agreed. Sitting in Yecheng, 80,000 heroes and warriors from Hebei were recruited, and an army was formed to conquer the Yellow Turban Liukou everywhere.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other famous generals in Hebei were all included in Lu Renbing's bag. Well, the Prime Minister's Office's dispatch is still a deterrent to these generals. What's more, Lu Renbing did not depose the emperor, and the prestige of the Khan's court was not lost. Dong Zhuo has been fighting abroad for more than a year, and his notoriety is not obvious.

It is still very tempting to take refuge in the prime minister of the Han Dynasty to be promoted to an official position and make a fortune.

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and other Hebei celebrities were also recruited by Dong Zhuo as in the shogunate. Lu Renbing now needs to deal with a lot of military and government affairs, and he needs a large number of scribes and talents. Dong Zhuocai doesn't care whether these celebrities are willing to work for him or not, under the steel knife, few celebrities can withstand it. Especially since this steel knife was still against the necks of their three clans.

As for saying that these celebrities come to work and don't work?

The non-existent, a large amount of case work, and the modern office performance appraisal and rating mechanism, do not give these celebrities room to be lazy at all, high-ranking officials and strong military coercion, no celebrity can escape the clutches of Lu Renbing.

The twisted melon is not sweet, but Lu Renbing doesn't care, I only care about the twisting process. Besides, most of the scribes and generals accepted the call of the Prime Minister's Mansion very happily, and few were forced to come.

Changshan Zhao Zilong became the leader of Prime Minister Dong Cheng's personal guards, satisfying Lu Renbing's desire to collect. As for Liu Guanzhang in Pingyuan County, Lu Renbing didn't care about it yet.

When Lu Renbing led the army to cholera Jizhou, the time had reached August of the second year of Zhaoning, which was the first year of Chuping in the original history.

Nothing that should have happened in this year happened, and the princes who initiated the fight against Dong in history, except for a few, did not take office at all. Because Lu Renbing did not agree to their appointment at all. Many of them are still unemployed in Luoyang.

As the anti-Dong League leader, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were still licking their wounds in the mansion, although they hated Dong Zhuo, a martial artist, but they had been tortured for four months, and their will was depressed. In order to atone for their sins, the family produced a big bucket of blood, which also made the clansmen complain about them.

Originally, many plans were messed up by this sudden change.

To complicate matters further, Zhang asked Duan Gui and them, under the indulgence of Lu Renbing, gradually took control of the palace ban again, and the power of the eunuchs began to recover. Lu Renbing summoned more than a dozen clans such as Liu Yu, Liu Ye, Liu Biao, and Liu He to Beijing to take up important positions, and the power of the Liu clan rose sharply.

This is nothing, what is even more disgusting is that Lu Renbing, in the name of enriching the palace, recruited the concubines of the Yuan family, the Yang family, the Xun family, the Ma family, the Lu family, the Sima family, the Cui family, the Cao family and other famous families in Beijing into the palace to enrich Liu Bian's harem.

For the sake of the emperor's descendants, in addition to the routine civil draft. Lu Renbing also decided to select excellent concubines in these famous families every few years to enrich Liu Bian's harem. Marriage or something, just a royal marriage.

Now that all the celebrities have become relatives, the women they sent to the palace in the future will give birth to a prince, and they will be involved in the battle for succession, and they will no longer want to be in the same boat and like-minded.

Liu Bian had a concubine Tang Ji before, but because of the turmoil in the palace, he hadn't had time to set up a queen. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to stabilize the situation, Empress Dowager He and Liu Bian obtained Lu Renbing's consent and set Tang Ji as the queen, and the relationship between husband and wife was very good.

Now that Lu Renbing has given it to him, Liu Bian has stuffed so many women, and Liu Bian, who was a little frivolous by nature, suddenly blossomed. He Hou finally put his mind at ease. Finally, he no longer worries that Dong Zhuo will harm him and his son.
