"Ahem, ahem!"

Ji County, in the official office, Dong Zhuo was lying on the bed, rubbing his chest, coughing vigorously.

I have to say that his perseverance is very strong.

The doctors have said that Dong Zhuo's vitality is far beyond that of ordinary people, and if someone else had his disease, he might have died a long time ago.

But Dong Zhuo was able to survive the difficulties again.

Of course, even if he survived, his body was still very weak.

However, now his thinking is much clearer than before.

At least he was able to deal with some pre-military issues with some sanity.

Dong Zhuo finished taking the medicine today, coughed vigorously a few times, and spit out the phlegm in his mouth.

A relaxed expression appeared on his face.

Although the complexion still looks very bad, the overall state is indeed much better than before.

It was at this time that his personal guard outside came to report the action, saying that Hua Xiong was asking to see him.

Dong Zhuo beckoned the guards to help him up.

He straightened up and leaned half-back on the bed, and finally said slowly.

"Let General Hua come in first."

Dong Zhuo's voice was weak.

It didn't take long to see Hua Xiong come to Dong Zhuo's bed with an anxious face.

He knelt down on one knee and smiled bitterly at Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, you can finally see the last general." ”

Looking at Hua Xiong's appearance, Dong Zhuo, who has always been like an iron stone, couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.

"General Hua is really loyal, your affairs, the old man's guards also said something to the old man, during the time of the old man's illness, General Hua has always been thinking about the old man, and he comes to ask the old man about his physical condition every day, and the doctor doesn't let you see the old man, you don't see it, just guard the door every day."

"There is a confidant like Ling, the old man is very comforted."

Hua Xiong cried and said to Dong Zhuo: "Hua was promoted by Xiangguo, and he only tried his best for Xiangguo in this life, Xiangguo was seriously ill, Hua was sad and did not want to live, if Xiangguo had something, Hua was willing to go down to Jiuquan with Xiangguo and serve Xiangguo." ”

Hua Xiong's words can be described as sincere and moving.

Rao is Dong Zhuo couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard it.

"It's not in vain that the old man promoted you, General Hua, you are very good."

After that, Dong Zhuo suddenly coughed again.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Hua Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to soothe Dong Zhuo's chest.

After Dong Zhuo finished coughing, he waved his hand weakly at Hua Xiong, indicating that it was okay.

"General Hua, tell the old man, how is the situation of our army now?"

As soon as he talked about the current situation, Hua Xiong's face showed a complicated expression, both angry and very sad.

Dong Zhuo was recuperating during this time, and he didn't know anything.

However, the personal person around him also picked things up and told him.

Dong Zhuo has a general understanding of the situation, but he does not know very much about specific things.

"General Hua, you don't have to have any scruples, just pick the key points and tell the old man, the old man has been ruling the world for decades, and he can bear everything, you don't have to worry about the old man."

Hearing Dong Zhuo say this, Hua Xiong's heart can be regarded as falling.

Then I saw Hua Xiong arching his hand at Dong Zhuo and said: "Xiangguo, during the time you were ill, a lot of things did happen, first of all, the 100,000 people of our army were stationed in Ji County, and they couldn't advance or retreat, Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses were besieged in the periphery, and they neither attacked us nor retreated, as if they wanted to delay our army." And the generals of the various departments did not admit defeat to each other because of Xiangguo's illness, and everyone wanted to compete for the supreme command of military power, especially with Hu Zhen as the leader, and the generals of Liangzhou were incompatible with the faction headed by Niu Fu and Lu Bu. ”

"And on the side of Chang'an City, Wang Yun has ordered the abolition of the new policy, and the Son of Heaven seems to support him in doing so."

Dong Zhuo didn't show a strange expression on his face when he heard that Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others had abolished the New Deal, but his expression seemed to be quite gloomy.

However, when he heard that Liu Wei supported the abolition of the new policy, Dong Zhuo was a little excited.

"This little emperor is really a waste, the old man has assisted him for so many years, how can he have something useful in the old man? I didn't even learn it. ”

"This new deal is not only about the old man's achievements, but also about the future of his Han Dynasty."

"As the Son of Heaven, he can't even think about this thing, in the face of Liu Jian and Yuan Shao's advance, he actually used the abolition of the New Deal as a bargaining chip to wag his tail and beg for mercy from Wang Yun, which is really pitiful and hateful!"

"How can such a person govern the Han world in the future, sooner or later he will be replaced."

When he said this, Dong Zhuo lowered his head and coughed violently again.

Then Dong Zhuo looked at Hua Xiong on the side and asked, "What are the movements of Liu Jian and Yuan Shao?" ”

Hua Xiong said: "Liu Jian and Yuan Shao are currently in Sizhou, Liu Jian has occupied Luoyang, Yuan Shao is from the land of Luyang to the north of Chen Bing, in the south of Luoshui, corresponding to Liu Jianyao, it is reported that Liu Jian raised 80,000 troops this time, Yuan Shao together 80,000 soldiers, the soldiers and horses of both sides add up to 160,000, forming an opposing trend in Sizhou. ”

Previously, Yuan Shao's general Sun Jian secretly attacked Liu Jian's general Xu Rong, but Sun Jian fell for Xu Rong's plan and was killed by an arrow. Sun Jian's death hurt Yuan Shao's side very much. ”

"And at present, Liu Deran not only defeated Sun Jian, but also his army broke Li Xiang's 700,000 rebels."

"The rebel leader Li Xiang was captured by Gongsun Zhansheng under Liu Jian, and now his people have been escorted to Chang'an.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face: "How long has my Great Han Dynasty not had a car crack?" It seems that this little emperor is really in a hurry this time. ”

"However, this Liu Deran is indeed a headache, he eliminated Sun Jian and defeated Li Xiang, and now the momentum is shocking, don't look at Yuan Shao has 80,000 soldiers against him, the number of both sides is equal, but in fact, whether it is a general or an army, Liu Jian has the upper hand."

"And in terms of using troops, Liu Jian is also above Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao will have to taste Liu Jian's hardships sooner or later."

Hua Xiong said: "Xiangguo, no matter who wins or loses Liu Jian and Yuan Shao, they are all heading towards the imperial court, but now Xiangguo is still sick, and he can't quickly turn back to rescue the imperial court, once Liu Jian and Yuan Shao enter the imperial court, we will have no place to stand." ”

Dong Zhuo sneered and said: "Don't worry, don't panic, the current situation is not so bad that we can't turn it over at all, Liu Jian and Yuan Shao want to take away the imperial court from the old man's hands, delusional." ”

"And that Wang Yun and Yang Biao dared to take advantage of the old man's illness to seize the court situation and abolish the new policy, hmph, the old man said that he would not let them go."

"In this situation, as long as these generals under the old man don't make trouble, there will definitely be no big problems, in this pass and the plain boundary of Liangzhou, the more than 100,000 Xiliang soldiers under the old man, even if they fight head-on with the Hebei army, the old man is sure of victory."

"It's just that the old man is most worried about one person right now, and that is Lu Bu."

"General Hua, you quickly send someone to Meiwu with the old man's military order, and let the old man's third brother lead the troops to Ji County, the old man here has important things to arrange for him, and he is here to take charge of the army with your General Hua, you can stabilize the current situation."

As soon as Hua Xiong heard that Dong Zhuo was going to summon Dong Min back, he immediately gave up his hand and said, "No." ”

Dong Zhuo continued: "You will let the old man's nephew come over in a while, and the old man also has something to tell him." ”

The person Dong Zhuo said was Dong Huang, who went out with the army this time.

Hua Xiong didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to handle the matter.

In the afternoon, Dong Huang and Hua Xiong stood in front of Dong Zhuo together.

As soon as he saw Dong Zhuo, Dong Huang burst into tears.

He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Dong Zhuo, and arched his hand: "Uncle, you are finally a little energetic, if your uncle can no longer handle military affairs, I really don't know what to do next." ”

"Lu Bu, Niu Fu, and Hu Zhen, they already have a tendency to have internal strife with each other, and the soldiers and horses led by the two sides have had several disputes over food these days because of the problem, and the two armies have begun to attack each other, although the number is not much, and the scale is not large...... However, it is clear that both sides have the intention of annexing the other. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into a fierce light.

"It's really a group of incorrigible people, who are actually fighting for power with each other at this time, even if they can seize military power, what can they do, they won't make wedding dresses for others in the future, they are simply foolish and ignorant."

"Huang'er, what you need to do now is to help the old man stabilize the situation here."

"Not to mention anything else, for the time being, Niu Fu, Lu Bu and Hu Zhen can't let them fight each other, and the matter of attacking and killing each other must be stopped."

"Uncle, what should a child do? Please also ask my uncle for advice. ”

Dong Zhuo stroked his beard and asked, "Now that Lu Bu and Niu Fu have been appeased by the imperial court or Liu Jian, Yuan Shao and others?" ”

Dong Huang's face turned red, and he said: "Uncle, I, I, I really don't know this, but some time ago, the envoy of the imperial court came here, routinely inquired about the battle in the front, and then also visited the battalions, and he was stationed in Lu Bu's camp for a while, but I really don't know if he recruited Lu Bu instead of Wang Yun, child." ”

Dong Zhuo thought about it seriously and said: "Wang Yun really wants to send someone to greet Lu Bu, thinking that Lu Bu is hesitant for a moment now, and he will not easily defect to Wang Yun's command, so that in the name of the old man, he can order all the soldiers to come to the school, and say that the old man should routinely ask about the military, and let them wait for the inspection of the elite soldiers on the school." ”

When Dong Huang heard this, he was shocked, "Uncle, your body has not completely recovered, if you go to the school to inspect the military academy at this time, in case the condition worsens, wouldn't the child be a great sin?" ”

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, the old man can still withstand this little thing, it's just a matter of ordering soldiers on the school field, it's not a big deal." ”

"And you still think that the old man's current state can't be a director, let alone them."

"So the old man said that he would show up once in the teaching field this time, as long as the old man showed up and pretended that his body was fine, these people would stabilize their minds, and there would be no internal strife and civil strife for the time being, as for the rest of the matter, wait for the old man to stabilize their emotions first."

Dong Huang hurriedly nodded and said, "Listen to your uncle, listen to your uncle." ”

Looking at Dong Huang's somewhat flustered expression, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Alas, this nephew of his own family still can't pick up the big beam, but he hates that his son died early, but this Dong family can't fall on him now, at least wait for him to be more mature.

But the problem is that time waits for no one, and my current state is not particularly good, although it has just improved, but who knows what will happen in a few days or a month or two?

So I still have to find Dong Min quickly.

But even if Dong Min is here, does he have the ability to suppress characters like Niu Fu, Lu Bu, and Hu Zhen?

In fact, Dong Zhuo also knew in his heart that it was difficult, but there was no way now, in this extraordinary season, he was sick, so he had to rely on these brothers and nephews to maintain stability in the army.

……

……

Just when Dong Zhuo's illness improved slightly, and he hurriedly summoned Hua Xiong and Dong Huang, Lu Bu and Niu Fu also broke out into a fierce dispute.

In Chang'an, Wang Yunbao promoted Lu Bu as a general, and asked him to find a way to seize the military power of Liangzhou, and led his troops back to Chang'an to defend the imperial court.

From now on, he Lu Bu will be the general of the Son of Heaven.

Lu Bu was originally a relatively ambitious person, and he has been subservient to Dong Zhuo all these years, although he has had a smooth life, but he has not been very happy.

He's also been waiting for an opportunity to make his own leap to the top.

Now that Dong Zhuo is sick, the pattern of the court has changed.

Wang Yun, as a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, is also Lu Bu's neighbor in the same state, and is also one of the leaders of the Wang clan, so he took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Lu Bu and explained to Lu Bu that in the future, the military in the court will be dominated by Lu Bu.

How could Lu Bu not be impressed?

But now Lu Bu and Niu Fu have a good relationship, they are each other's lips and teeth, if Lu Bu wants to take military power and join the imperial court, he must go through Niu Fu.

He also explained the current situation to Niu Fu, and told Niu Fu that Dong Zhuo was seriously ill, and he and Niu Fu must find a way out for themselves.

And with the two of them, taking over the military of the imperial court for Dong Zhuo, this is undoubtedly the best destination.

Lu Bu originally thought that his suggestion would make Niu Fu very happy, but he didn't expect that Niu Fu didn't agree with his opinion at all.

In fact, Lu Bu didn't know that Liu Jian had already sent someone to secretly communicate with Niu Fu, although Niu Fu was captured by Liu Jian three times in the past, but as time went by, his senses for Liu Jian had some changes.

He felt that Liu Jian was a capable person, and Wang Yun and Yang Biao were just representatives of the old ministers, and they could not be Liu Jian's opponents.

Lu Bu came to find Niu Fu to return to the imperial court and unite with Wang Yun, Yang Biao and others......

Niu Fu turned his face with Lu Bu at that time.

However, Niu Fu can't say that he is inclined to Liu Jian, he just educates Lu Bu with righteousness.

"You and I, as generals of Xiangguo, should fulfill our duties when we are in danger, how can we betray Xiangguo and take refuge in others at such a time? What's more, I'm Sangkook's son-in-law, so I can't do this. ”

"Lu Fengxian, if you dare to rebel, I will fight with you endlessly!"
