Under the walls of Chang'an, Liu Jian looked into the distance and was a little distracted for a while.

Soon, he saw a group of people in the distance coming quickly towards the land of Chang'an.

In front of the team was a spacious carriage, and sitting in the carriage was the fat Dong Zhuo.

Although they were far apart, Liu Jian still recognized Dong Zhuo on the chariot at a glance.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo's car arrived at the head of Chang'an City, and under the support of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Dong Zhuo slowly walked down from the chariot.

He raised his head and happened to see Liu Jian at the head of the city, and he didn't know how to face him for a while.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Liu Jian seemed very calm.

He stood at the head of the city with a smile, and said to Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Gong Zhong Ying, I haven't seen you for many years, and Gong has always been fine?" ”

Dong Zhuo stood under the city, looking up at Liu Jian above, with a very uncomfortable look on his face.

Things are not people, and now they are not what they used to be.

Now Liu Jian is standing at the head of the city, talking to himself condescendingly, but he can't even let out a fart.

"The old man is good, and there is Lao Deran...... Caring for each other. ”

Liu Jian laughed, and then shouted: "Where is the gate order?" Why don't you invite Zhong Ying Gong into the city! ”

Subsequently, I saw that the gate of Chang'an was opened, and the prepared honor guard had already gone out of the city, and played music to welcome Dong Zhuo into the city.

Xun Yu and Xun You's two uncles and nephews welcomed Dong Zhuo into the city on behalf of Liu Jian.

Subsequently, Liu Jian also walked down from the city wall.

He grabbed Dong Zhuo's hand and said, "Dong Gong, come with me into the palace and go to see the Son of Heaven!" ”

Dong Zhuo seemed to have something to say the moment he was grabbed by Liu Jian, but then his face changed, and he hurriedly turned his head and coughed heavily.

Seeing this, Liu Jian sighed: "Gong's illness, so serious? ”

Dong Zhuo said helplessly: "It's old, it's useless." ”

"My body is weak, not as good as it was back then, I'm afraid I won't live long."

Liu Jian sighed: "How can the public say that? Zhong Yinggong rest assured, in the northwest, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, there are no famous doctors, I Hebei has vigorously developed medical Taoism over the years, and the two deans of the medical school are both miracle doctors in the world, and they will definitely cure Dong Gong's illness! ”

"You and I will go to see the Son of Heaven first, and after we meet the Son of Heaven, I will send someone to send Zhong Ying Gong back to the mansion to recuperate."

When he said this, Liu Jian lowered his voice slightly and said, "Your mansion, I still keep it for you!" ”

Dong Zhuo is also a long-time officialdom figure, he naturally understands that he will be attached to Liu Jian in the future, and a large part of the reason why Liu Jian is willing to accept him is also because of the new policy.

To put it bluntly, everyone just uses each other.

But at this moment, seeing Liu Jian treating himself so well, like an old friend, Dong Zhuo's heart still felt warm.

Compared with those Xiliang army generals who have been with him all the year round, Liu Jian can still make such a heart-warming move at this moment, which really touches him very much.

Dong Zhuo thinks he is a hard-hearted person.

But Liu Jian can move him today......

Alas, it's no wonder that he was in his thirties and was able to achieve great things.

"Everything is arranged by the prime minister."

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo entered the palace with Liu Jian and met with Liu Xie, the son of today.

And after seeing Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, comforted him, acknowledged Dong Zhuo's merits, and immediately issued an order to respect Dong Zhuo as the prince.

Subsequently, Liu Xie also intended to set up a banquet in the palace and wanted to dine with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo resigned on the grounds of illness.

Liu Xie ordered someone to send the banquet that had been prepared in the palace to Dong Zhuo's mansion to show his favor, and then ran to his harem to play.

Liu Jin selected beauties in Sizhou yesterday to enrich the harem for Liu Xie, Liu Xie is young and vigorous, and his blood is bursting, which is with his old son, I can't wait to keep not coming out of the harem, if it weren't for Liu Jian's forced request, Liu Xie wouldn't have bothered to see Dong Zhuo today.

Although Liu Xie has always expressed his favor to Dong Zhuo today, Dong Zhuo can still see that this kid is perfunctory.

Dong Zhuo saw some absurd and uninhibited shadows in Liu Xie, and seemed to be a little similar to his father in some ways.

After leaving the palace, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Jian and said, "Today, it seems that he has the style of an emperor, and he is more immersed in pleasure. ”

Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo walked down the long palace stairs side by side, he smiled, and said as he walked: "Today is indeed indulged in wine, but he is not as ruthless as the first emperor, and he does not have so many deceitful thoughts, let him do whatever he wants...... In this way, it is a great blessing for the country. ”

When he said this, Liu Jian turned his head to look at Dong Zhuo on the side.

"The abolished emperor Hongnong is not addicted to wine, but the problem is so ambitious and unrealistic, Dong Gong thinks, which is more harmful to the country?"

When Dong Zhuo heard Liu Jian talk about Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, his face was not very good-looking.

He said sullenly: "What the prime minister means by saying that the Son of Heaven cultivated by the old man is not as good as the Son of Heaven cultivated by you?" ”

Liu Jian just smiled and didn't answer.

Then, I saw Dong Zhuo sigh and said, "But it's really as the prime minister said...... The old man is indeed not as good as you. ”

"Why do you say that, Zhong Ying is too humble."

"Father!"

With a light call, Dong Zhuo suddenly came back to his senses, and he hurriedly looked towards the place where the voice sounded, and saw his granddaughter.

This granddaughter was originally promised by Dong Zhuo to the Son of Heaven, so that the Dong family could marry the Son of Heaven, so as to consolidate the position of their Dong family.

Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would be abolished?

Now I want to get rid of the relationship with King Hongnong, but I can't get rid of it......

But now! His granddaughter was waiting for him at the foot of the stairs!

How...... Didn't she go to Hongnong with the abolished emperor Hongnong?

Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Jian in surprise.

Liu Jian said: "Since I am willing to take Zhong Yinggong back, then I will naturally clear up some things for your Dong family, at least I have to help you clarify the relationship between your Dong family and the Son of Heaven." ”

Dong Zhuo was really moved this time.

"Alas, Deran...... Oh no! Prime minister! Old man, old man is really grateful today, grateful! ”

"Okay, you're welcome, Gong Zhong Ying has been tired of traveling all day, so let's go back and rest quickly."

Dong Zhuo nodded, and then wanted to leave.

He took his granddaughter, and as soon as he walked out less than two steps away, he suddenly heard Liu Jian behind him say: "Zhong Yinggong, you don't have anything to explain to me?" ”

Dong Zhuo, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped.

He turned his head to look at Liu Jian behind him, his eyes widened, his lips pursed tightly, and he seemed to be at war between heaven and man in his heart.

Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile on his face, not in a hurry.

Dong Zhuo finally took a deep breath and said: "Prime Minister, the imperial court is newly established, Guanzhong is in ruins, the old man spent money and grain on the expedition to Liangzhou, and did not report a great victory, and now he is willing to donate all the food and goods in Yiwu to fund the imperial court, and ask the prime minister to accept it." “

Liu Jian's face showed a look of hesitation.

"Well, isn't that right?"

Dong Zhuo was so angry in his heart.

You are obviously happy in your heart, and you deliberately pretend to be like you want to refuse and return it with me?

Dong Zhuo knows best that Liu Jian has already set his sights on his wealth in Yiwu!

The wealth in Yiwu belongs to him personally, and it has been secretly hoarded by Dong Zhuo over the years.

Although the current Dong Zhuo's hoarding of goods in Hewu is far less than what he has hoarded in history, it is still a considerable amount.

Anyone who gets this money and the food from Yiwu will be happy and unable to sleep for three days.

Liu Jian is also a human being, and he is no exception, especially since he has to manage such a big country now, and there are so many things to do, what he needs most at the moment is money and food.

I saw Dong Zhuo say to Liu Jian: "The prime minister doesn't have to be polite, the affairs of the court are Dong's affairs, since the old man has returned to Chang'an, from now on, I am afraid that there will be no chance to serve the imperial court, so contribute a little wealth, even if you do your last little effort, please accept it!" ”

Liu Jian nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Liu will temporarily accept the things that the public will pay tribute to." ”

"In the future, the imperial court's taxes will be normal, and there will be an extra surplus, and it will be returned to Dong Gong!"

Dong Zhuo didn't feel much interest in this, he knew that Liu Jian was just polite to him.

How could the other party really give him back the goods?

And Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that the matter was not over.

He said again: "The Xiliang Army is all controlled by Dong, and most of the Xiliang Army in Meixian County are the old man's old department, and they belong to the old man's lineage!" Accept the old man's order to control, and now my brother and my nephew are in charge of Meixian County. ”

"The old man can write a letter, asking them to submit to the prime minister and obey the imperial court."

"The command of all the generals will be handed over to the prime minister."

"In addition, the generals, the old man can also inform the prime minister of the specific number of troops and the configuration of the army, I just hope that the prime minister can be sympathetic to ordinary soldiers when he subdues them in the future, and try not to let them suffer too much damage."

"Give them the opportunity to serve the court!"

Liu Jian nodded and said, "As long as I can submit to the imperial court and abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty, I will not treat them lightly." ”

Hearing Liu Jian say this, Dong Zhuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then I saw Dong Zhuo waving to one of the people who came to Chang'an with him.

"General Hua, come here!"

Hua Xiong seemed to hesitate when he heard Dong Zhuo greet him.

He probably understood what Dong Zhuo asked him to do when he greeted him.

But in the end, Hua Xiong still strode towards the place where Liu Jian and Dong Zhuo were.

"General Hua hasn't seen Prime Minister Liu yet?"

"The last general Huaxiong has seen Prime Minister Liu Cheng."

Liu Jian smiled and nodded at him: "General Hua, it's been a long time." ”

Of course, the two of them have not seen each other for a long time, and the last time they met, Hua Xiong was captured by Liu Jiansheng.

"General Hua, the old man has been appointed by His Majesty today, and he will live in Chang'an for a long time from now on, and the old man will not care about this battlefield from now on,"

"You have assisted Prime Minister Liu Cheng well, made contributions to the Han Dynasty, and it is not in vain that the old man and your master have a fight."

In this dualistic society, Dong Zhuo's orders are stronger than divine decrees for Hua Xiong.

Although Hua Xiong was very angry about how much he was captured back then, he still admired Liu Jian subconsciously, but he didn't want to show it too much.

After all, he also wants to save face.

Today, since Dong Zhuo asked him to take refuge in Liu Jian, Hua Xiong naturally has no reason to refuse.

"The last general, Huaxiong, is willing to be sent by his father!"

"I have General Hua to help, it is really a blessing for the country!"

Liu Jian looked at Dong Zhuo very gratefully: "Taifu is so for the country and the people, I am really moved!" ”

"Where, Prime Minister, the arrangements are over, the old man will go home first!"

Liu Jianyan said: "Don't worry, Dong Gong, I will definitely live up to Dong Gong, and I will definitely live up to your Dong family!" ”

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo said goodbye and left.

To be honest, his heart was a little painful.

It hurt and his breathing became a little short.

But he knew it was an inevitable consequence, something that would happen sooner or later.

Since he stepped into Chang'an, this is what will inevitably happen, but it just depends on the sooner or later.

Yiwu's goods, military power, and his own talents......

Morning and evening, it's Liu Jian.

Instead of waiting for Liu Jian to take it himself, it is better to give it himself and come more interestingly, which will also make Liu Jian trust himself.

From now on, there will be no place for themselves among the crowds vying for the world.

……

……

The news of Dong Zhuo's entry into Chang'an soon spread to Wugong.

Hu Zhen then began to secretly contact the generals of the Xiliang Army who were stationed with him in Wugong.

He did not rush towards Chang'an, but asked everyone to secretly send people to disguise themselves and go to Chang'an to investigate, and it was not too late to take action after figuring out Liu Jian's reality.

To the delight of Hu Zhen and the others, they soon heard about the situation in Chang'an, and the situation that everyone heard was almost the same.

Dong Zhuo was appointed as the Taifu and took the initiative to hand over the military power, Liu Jian surrendered Hua Xiong, and then still made Hua Xiong the governor of the Western Liang Army, responsible for taking stock of the situation of the various departments of the Western Liang Army, and cooperating with the Hebei generals to absorb the Western Liang Army.

And Chang'an's garrison, although it is very sufficient, has not yet reached indestructible.

Liu Jian's army was stationed in the north and south of Chang'an, gathering in Chang'an for about thirty miles, if Chang'an was attacked, they could quickly return to Chang'an, but as long as they planned properly and sent people to stop them, it would still not prevent them from taking Chang'an.

Anyway, as long as you take Chang'an City by surprise and take Chang'an City in the shortest possible time and control the Son of Heaven and Liu Jian in the city, then the army of Hebei will be thrown into a trap and collapse in an instant.

Of course, if you don't do it, you have to hit it with one hit.

Hu Zhen, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others secretly planned, but they found a more fatal problem.

That's the grain and grass!

While taking Chang'an, you must get enough grain and grass and not give it.

Only when you get the grain and grass will the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the three armies be improved, and at the same time, you can also give yourself a way back, which can be attacked and defended.

Chang'an's Cangyu and Taicang are both in the east of Chang'an, and Hu Zhen and others can't get them.

Because Chang'an City is right between them and the grain.

However, Hu Zhen must have been the protector of the capital for many years, so he thought of a way!

That is, while conquering Chang'an, take Hewu!

Hewu is a place where Dong Zhuo hoards his personal goods, and there are a lot of baggage and grain and grass in it!

As long as you take the dock, you will have enough supplies.

According to the Xiliang soldiers' report, Liu Jian had already sent someone to Yiwu to count Dong Zhuo's goods, but the garrison did not seem to have as many as expected!

You can definitely take it.

June 15 of the first year of Jian'an, is the day of the uprising of the generals of the Xiliang Army, Hu Zhen, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Yang Ding, Zhang Ji and others after some planning, together to start an incident!

They have a clear division of labor.

Hu Zhen led the main forces of various departments and took Chang'an directly.

Li Meng and Wang Fang respectively went to block the two Hebei armies in the north and south of Chang'an.

Yang Ding went to attack Hewu and obtain a supply of grain and grass.

Zhang Ji is going to harvest Dong Huang, Dong Min's head!

Everything happened late at night on June 15th!

They want to catch Chang'an off guard.

However, what Hu Zhen didn't expect was that in fact, on June 13, Liu Jian had already sent someone to contact Niu Fu and Lu Bu!
