Chapter 254: Dog Man and Woman (1)

Quiet days are always short-lived and fleeting, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of July.

As the saying goes: Blessing and misfortune do not go alone! For the stormy Han Empire, the five years of peace are definitely an eventful autumn, internal and external troubles, internal and external difficulties, the surrounding four Yi are ready to move, the party struggle in the central court is continuous, the abnormal replacement of the old and new emperors, the Yellow River is flooded, refugees are all over the land, and hunger is everywhere, everyone feels that the Han Dynasty is about to run out!

First piece of bad news:

After the refugees from Jizhou and Yanzhou returned to their hometowns, they had nothing to rely on, and under the instigation of well-intentioned people and the pressure of survival, a large-scale uprising finally broke out. The peasant uprising in Qingzhou was as fierce as ever, and these rebels all acted under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, and the specific situation is not clear.

More than 500,000 peasants participated in the uprising in the land of three states! Qingzhou accounted for more than half, and the Yanzhou rebel army only had tens of thousands, which was considered small; Jizhou, on the other hand, is huge, with more than 200,000 people! Five out of ten of those who lost the county seat, and even more so, the two counties of Pingyuan and Changshan were lost, and the city officials were slaughtered, while Julu and Bohai counties were still under siege, and the situation was very critical!

Jizhou Mu Han Fu wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the imperial court allocate materials according to the practice of Emperor Ling, and Jizhou would recruit troops to suppress the rebellion! When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo and He Lian discussed for a long time without a decision, and planned to put it in the court meeting for public discussion.

Although Sili is densely populated, but with the light of Zhuang Shaoyou, most of the refugees have received relief in time and have survived the most difficult days, so although the people are dissatisfied, their mood is quite stable, and no large-scale civil unrest broke out.

Second piece of bad news:

Following the flooding of the Yellow River a month ago, the land south of the Yangtze River also suffered a rare flood, and dozens of counties and counties in Jingzhou and Yangzhou were affected to varying degrees, which was undoubtedly worse for the crumbling Han court! Originally, there was a shortage of grain this year, and the imperial court was planning to mobilize grain and grass support from the south of the Yangtze River, at least to ensure the food supply of Luoyang and Sili, and maintain the precarious foundation of the imperial court's rule.

But now it seems that this is clearly an unlikely thing! However, the land south of the Yangtze River is rich and abnormal, and the people have a lot of accumulated grain, if the flood disappears quickly, they can also replant a season of rice, and it should not be a problem to survive this year, but its plan to support the original is probably impossible!

There is also news in southern Liaoning, heavy rain has been raging in the past few days, and the grain output in southern Liaoning this autumn will also be greatly affected, but the new fields cultivated in the spring of Liaoning this year are not young and old, and the enthusiasm of the people who moved from Jizhou and Qingzhou after the beginning of spring is extremely high, as soon as the mobilization order for summer ploughing in May came out, it immediately responded to the four uprisings, and every family of old and young men went into battle to open up new fields, and from the grassland with four-masted transport ships to carry more than 3,000 cattle for farming, but saved a lot of manpower, so, even if they owe home, It is not a problem to feed one or two million people with grain produced in southern Liaoning!

Listening to these news, Zhuang Shaoyou was in a heavy mood, not worried about how southern Liaoning would be, but a large area of poor harvest across the country this year, like a hammer hitting the faltering old man of Dahan, I am afraid that the world of Dahan is coming to an end!

Zhuang Shaoyou decisively ordered the implementation of the thrift order in southern Liaoning, and appointed Guoyuan, Zhou Tian, and Ronghua as thrifty ambassadors, and tried his best to avoid extravagance and waste in southern Liaoning, especially to strengthen the supervision of restaurants and large households, and in line with the principle that if you can save a little food, you can save one more person, and make every effort to reduce consumption in order to prepare for the food shortage in the coming year!

In addition to the food problem, there is also a very important thing, the first batch of reinforcements from Xiliang arrived in Luoyang, and the 5,000 iron cavalry vanguard led by Li Dao and Guo Yan arrived in Luoyang and joined Dong Zhuo's army, and the cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command has reached more than 14,000! The strength suddenly increased greatly, and it has completely overshadowed Zhuang Shaoyou, and this matter has also caused a lot of commotion in Luoyang.

Those who were still wavering on the wall made up their minds. In the past few days, officials have visited Dong Zhuo in the West Garden, and Dong Zhuo did not refuse to come! The high-level people were personally received, and the low-level ones were received by their subordinates Li Ru and Li Su, and the principle was to make everyone feel at home.

On July 20, all the officials of Luoyang City received the news that two days later, that is, on the first day of the eighth month, a grand court meeting would be held in the imperial palace in the city, at which time, the emperor and the empress dowager would move from the West Garden to the palace to live.

The great court meeting is understandable, the monthly court meeting, even if lazy such as Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, is rarely absent, and seriously deal with state affairs, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the turmoil continues, so far it is nearly a month, the first day of August is the first great court meeting since Liu Wei ascended the throne, it is of great significance, it is an opportunity for the new emperor to perform in front of the ministers, but everyone doesn't care about these, anyway, the emperor is a puppet, and the person who talks is naturally the emperor's supporter, the queen mother and Dong Zhuo!

When the news came, many officials thought that Dong Zhuo was taking the initiative to provoke Zhuang Shaoyou! Obviously, the city is Zhuang Shaoyou's territory, and Dong Zhuo wants to get the emperor and the queen mother to the palace, although the reason is very high-sounding, many officials understand that this is Dong Zhuo's signal: I, Dong Zhongying, am going to meddle in the affairs of Luoyang City!

With the growth of strength, people's ambition will also swell, which is an eternal truth! Dong Zhuo has just received the first batch of reinforcements, and his strength has risen greatly, and he can already overwhelm Zhuang Shaoyou, and he is unwilling to live in the wilderness of Xiyuan, and it is understandable that he wants to move to the city to experience the prosperity of the capital!

Under the strong request of the Empress Dowager He Lian, and under the encouragement of all his subordinates, Dong Zhuo also acquiesced in the matter, but strictly ordered his subordinates to prohibit making trouble in the city, and also distributed pocket money to his soldiers, and warned them that this is Luoyang! If you like something, you have to buy it with money, and you can't grab it directly!

The Xiliang soldiers, who were accustomed to the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine, were suddenly inexplicable, and expressed their incomprehension of Dong Zhuo's order, didn't we come to Luoyang to rob money, grain, and girls? Why has the king changed his mind again? Can't figure it out!

Dong Zhuo pondered and meditated, and patiently explained to everyone: "Those sheep used to belong to someone else, and it's nothing for us to bring them!" But now we have to put these sheep ourselves, and we have to slowly get wool from them, so we can't rob them! Can understand and understand, can't understand rote memorization! ”

The Xiliang army includes the Lu Busuo and Zhou troops who surrendered to Cheng, as well as the reinforcements of Li Dao and Guo Yan who have just arrived, with a total of more than 30,000, of course, they can't all be stationed in the city, most of them stay in the West Garden, and a small part follows Dong Zhuo into the city, and promises that the soldiers outside the city can enter the city to play during the day, but they must return to the Xiyuan military camp at night, and they are absolutely not allowed to make trouble.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army reluctantly accepted it, okay, if you don't let you rob it, you won't grab it! Although I don't understand what the king said, it must have made sense! That's it! It's really unaccustomed to giving money to take things! It is said that when the gentlemen were in Xiliang, they only consumed in the Qinglou! Because the green building was opened by a relative of the Dawang family!

Regarding Dong Zhuo's entry into the city, Zhuang Shaoyou acquiesced and did not object, because Zhuang Shaoyou felt that Dong Zhuo was still good, not as evil as he imagined, and more bold, at least a hundred times stronger than Yuan Shao's villain who always likes to engage in conspiracy!

But Zhuang Shaoyou's inaction fell in the eyes of Luoyang officials, but it became weak, many people thought that Zhuang Shaoyou had withered in front of Dong Zhuo, and they all gloated about it, because these days, Zhuang Shaoyou has been in the limelight too much! It's time for someone to knock him on! Otherwise, if you are in your early twenties, you will have to rebel in the future?

Xiyuanzhi, after a fierce battle, Dong Zhuo panted and lay on the couch, his right hand still rubbing the pair of jade rabbits, kneading them round and flattening, constantly changing shapes, looking like he couldn't put it down.

That's right, Dong Zhuo, the king of Xiliang, finally got his wish and went to the queen mother He Lian, this matter was facilitated by Li Ru, after a long talk between Li Ru and He Lian one day, He Lian finally withdrew the last line of defense against Dong Zhuo and let him gallop.

Li Ru's idea is very direct, the queen mother represents the emperor and ties both the queen mother and the emperor to Dong Zhuo's chariot, which is a good thing! And He Lian and Liu Wei are orphans and widows, helpless, Zhuang Shaoyou ignores them, and has no choice but to rely on Dong Zhuo, both sides take what they need, and let the lord become the queen mother, so as to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, and cooperate more intimately!

Although He Lian was 10,000 reluctant, but under the pressure of reality, on a rainy night, Dong Zhuo was allowed to enter her room for the first time, a night of violent storms, several spring breezes, He Lian tasted the taste of bliss for the first time, I thought that men in the world were as useless as Liu Hong, but I didn't expect this annoying black fat to be so powerful.

It was He Lian, who was at the age of a wolf and a tiger, who became addicted to it at first glance! I asked for it seven times in one night, Rao is Dong Zhuo is strong and a little unbearable, this girl is too good at pleasing men! A hundred times more charming than those two favorite concubines! Especially this girl is still the queen mother, the queen mother of the high! The identity is here, and of course it feels different!

This is the emperor's own mother! Wouldn't that old man become the emperor's father? Hum! Liu Bian's turtle, if he is really Lao's biological son, Lao will definitely pinch his eggs! This little pervert is not very old, he looks at women every day, plays with women, but he is still very incompetent, a typical bear and dishonest! Old people don't raise this kind of waste wood!

After that night, Dong Zhuo and He Lian began a glue-like life, prostituting themselves during the day and singing songs night and night, like a newlywed couple, tired of being together all day long.

And Dong Zhuo is obviously very infatuated with He Lian's body, and has no objection to He Lian's request, and only allows a little opinion on those particularly important matters, and uses a deliberative tone.

He Lian found that although this fat person is a little ugly, he is actually not bad, his body is very good, and he is very good at hurting people, ten thousand times stronger than the dead ghost Liu Hong, and less than Nazhuang......
