The ministers returned to Luoyang City under the protection of Dong Jun, because they could not rest well for two consecutive days and nights, and everyone decided to wait for the next morning to open the court. After Dong Zhuo returned to the former general's mansion, Li Ru greeted him in front of the mansion. As soon as he saw Dong Zhuo, he bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, Fengche Duwei has helped the lord to subdue the original He Jin, He Miao's subordinates Wu Kuang and other generals, and the lord will have 5,000 new elite soldiers." ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, as a foreign army, the Flying Bear Army was not allowed to enter the inner city, and at this time, he could have 5,000 elite guards in the city, not only did he have safety, but it was easier to succeed in major events. Dong Zhuo rushed to the government hall, and after sitting down, he hurriedly asked: "Wenyou, how should the old man control the other armies in the city?" ”

Li Ru stroked the mouse's whiskers and said with a slight smile: "This matter is easy, tomorrow morning, you can use the name of chasing down the Ten Standing Servants and the rest of the party, and take the opportunity to seize power." For example, the armies in the city of Luoyang, with the twelve city gate defenders as the most important, each gate waiting for one person, the army of 500 people, a total of 6,000 guards, all under the command of the city gate captain. However, yesterday, the ten permanent servants were able to rob the emperor from the valley gate in the north, and even if the captain of the city gate was not an accomplice, he was also guilty of a serious crime, so he could choose someone else. ”

Dong Zhuo smiled: "Okay, good, good, hmm...... Wu Qiongxiang is kind to the old man, and he is also the former official of the Yuan family, he can be appointed as the captain of the city gate, Yuan Taifu will not object, with Wu Yu as the captain of the city gate, the old man can enter and leave the capital smoothly in the future. ”

Li Ru smiled again: "There are three thousand tiger ben soldiers under the command of Yuan Shu, and the lord can report to the court, saying that Yuan Highway has meritorious service in addition to the ten permanent servants, and can be promoted to the post of queen general after Yuan Taifu, and then replace the tiger Ben Zhonglang general with others, then the three thousand tiger ben soldiers will be in hand." ”

Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Okay, Li Su, a native of the Wuyuan clan in Youzhou, once served under the old man, and is now the right servant of Hu Ben, and can succeed to the post of Hu Ben Zhonglang General." ”

Li Ru said again: "The left and right Yulin Army, each with 2,000 people guarding the south and north palaces, yesterday helped the ten permanent servants to guard the palace city, there is a big crime, you should choose another person and let it be." ”

Dong Zhuo frowned and said: "The old man has long heard that the Yulin Army has long been unusable, but its escort of the two palaces is an indispensable army, hmm...... Let's use my brother and Wu Kuang's meritorious work in removing eunuchs, and serve as the general of the left and right Yulin Zhonglang. In this way, the army in the city was only left with the 3,000 city patrol soldiers who held Jinwu Dingyuan, the 1,200 apprentices of Yuan Shao, the captain of Si Li, and the hundreds of county soldiers of Yin Wangyun in Henan. The old man has this army of 18,000 in the city, and these three people should have no worries. It's just that the southern army has been decided, what about the five battalions of the northern army? What about the West Park Army? ”

Li Ru bowed his hand and said: "He Jin and He Miao died together, and the only one with the largest military position in the court is the lord." Liu Biao, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, had just taken office, and the five lieutenants of the Tun Cavalry, the Yue Cavalry, the Infantry, Changshui, and the Shooting Sound would not be convinced. The lord makes friends with the official position of gold silk, and he will win the heart of the five captains. Even if the five lieutenants do not obey, the lord can also buy the Sima of the various departments that are actually in charge of the troops of each army, and the following system will be followed, so that the northern army can get it. It's just the West Park Army...... The lord does not want to turn his face with the Yuan family at present, and Yuan Shao has served as a lieutenant of the Zuo Military Academy, and he has quite a prestige in the Xiyuan Army...... had to be left to the Yuan family for the time being. ”

Dong Zhuo knocked on the desk in annoyance, in his impression, the Xiyuan Army was an elite army that was even more elite than the Northern Army. Only when the Xiyuan Army is controlled, can it be called a major event, and you can challenge the Yuan family and dominate the dynasty. As for the remaining guards of the eight passes of Luoyang, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in each pass, and they only need to pass on the rules at that time. That's how the real power is in your hands. If you can't completely control the Xiyuan Army, even if your own 50,000 Xiliang soldiers come to Beijing together, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress Yuan's family.

Just when Dong Zhuo was irritable and Li Ru was helpless, a guard suddenly came to say: "There is a doctor from Taizhong, and He Bai, the captain of the military academy, has come to visit the lord." ”

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were startled and shouted, "Why did this son come here?" "You need to know that before yesterday, He Bai also had a battle with Dong Zhuo, although the two sides did not completely tear their faces, they were not friendly, and they never wanted He Bai to come to the mansion to visit.

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "This son dares to bravely enter the tiger's den, how can the old man be afraid of him, come and summon He Bai to see." ”

Li Ru didn't feel at ease when he thought about it, so he summoned twenty armored warriors to guard him on the left and right. Not long after, He Bai walked into the hall wearing a wide plain robe and a hanging ring knife at his waist. Li Ru was startled when he saw the knife and shouted: "He Taizhong came to meet the former general, why is he still carrying a sharp blade?" Intent on stabbing? Left and right, speed and speed with me. ”

Twenty Xiliang warriors immediately prepared to rush forward, and He Bai shouted: "As a martial artist, Bai will never leave his weapons. The former general is not the emperor, so why not match the sword. ”

Li Ru's eyes flashed with poison, and he shouted: "If you don't want to unload the knife, you will assassinate and kill." ”

Twenty Xiliang warriors immediately drew their swords, He Bai took half a step back and held the handle of the knife, the tail of the scabbard was facing up, and his body was slightly bent. Seeing that the Xiliang warriors were coming, the knife flashed, a knife drawing technique cross-cutting, as fast as thunder, immediately the knife broke the fingers, screamed, blood splashed in all directions, there were five Xiliang warriors in the head of the chest at the same time, all fell in a pool of blood. When he looked at He Bai's ring knife again, he had already put the knife into the sheath, as if it had never been pulled out.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were taken aback again, since ancient times, fierce generals do not necessarily have the same force under the horse, without long soldiers and heavy armor and good horses, fierce generals who are known for their strength have also become ordinary people. If it is said that the fierce general is good at the long knife and halberd tactics of opening and closing, what light heroes, rangers, and swordsmen are good at is the assassination technique of hand-to-hand combat and close combat.

These two martial arts have their own strengths and cannot be compared. But in the case of foot combat, even if Gu Zhimeng is about to die in this kind of assassination technique, there are not a few. I don't want He Bai to be heroic on the horse, and the foot combat is so powerful. And there is even a treasure knife, which can even cut iron armor.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru didn't know that He Bai was a person from later generations, and because there was no reference for the martial arts that fought immediately, they had always honestly followed Dian Wei and Han Rong to learn martial arts. As for foot combat, because there are too many martial arts and film and television works in later generations. Combined with the martial arts ideas of the people of the future world and the actual fighting experience in this life, it is not too difficult to create one or two sets of sword skills.

For example, this knife drawing technique, He Bai only practiced one move to draw the knife and cut it horizontally, and when it came out of the sheath, it was definitely a swift and powerful move. In addition, the knife in his hand is a ring-headed snow maple knife made of scrapped steel from the rifles of later generations that followed and crossed, and was made by Taiyuan good craftsmen. The net weight is six catties and eight taels, four feet and two inches long, and the end is a divine weapon that blows hair and breaks hair, and cuts iron without damage. Therefore, with just one sword, he easily killed five people.

It's just that the blood all over the ground not only did not force the remaining Xiliang warriors to retreat, but even more aroused their blood-devouring hearts, and they pounced one by one like wolves howling and ghosts howling. He Bai took two more steps back, and another knife drawing technique cross-cut, even though the Xiliang warriors were on guard, there were still three people who would inevitably break their arms with knives.

Before they rearranged their formation and swarmed up, He Bai had already slashed like a tiger into a flock. With the divine soldier Xue Feng knife in hand, the iron weapon at this time is the opponent. Everywhere the knife passed, all the knives folded their arms and flew, their clothes were torn and their armor was shattered, blood flowed all over the hall, and there were dead bodies lying sideways everywhere. He Bai's plain placket was sprayed with bright red blood, which was more vivid and dazzling than the red dye.

There was a crisp sound of "dang", and when Dong Zhuo and Li Ru came back to their senses, He Bai had already flicked off the blood beads on the knife and put the knife into the sheath. Walking lightly to the point of ten paces of the two of them, they knelt on the ground without changing color and sat in a pool of blood.

He Baiwang saw Dong Zhuo drawing his sword and kneeling vigilantly, Li Ru showed a shocked and uneasy expression, couldn't help but chuckle, and said: "The former general Yu Chen, once invited him to be a guest in Xia's mansion, saying that he wanted to be close to Zaixia, and he didn't want to spend two hours, so he changed his face. It seems that the former general is not sincere. Having said that, He Bai didn't get up and leave at all.

Dong Zhuo's face changed for a while, and he put away his knife and knelt down for a while before laughing: "He Taizhong's bravery and courage, Dong Zhuo has completely understood it today. I view the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military independence, He Taizhong can be a true hero. ”

He Bai also arched his hand and smiled: "The former general has won the award, and he also looks at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the lower level, and he can correct the court and pacify the people in the world, except for the former general, there is no one else." ”

Dong Zhuo smiled in disbelief: "He Taizhong is the real reputation, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Runan, relatives and friends are all over the world, and there is still Yuan Taifu in the court, and he is even more popular in the world, how can He Taizhong say that there is no one in the court." ”

He Bai shook his head and said, "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan are really famous. However, according to my opinion, He Jin assisted the government, and led Yuan Kui to record the same book, Yuan Kui's prestige is important, his position is respectful, and his power is prosperous. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu conspired with He Jin to kill the eunuchs, Yuan's family enjoyed a huge room of prestige, and the world was a public auxiliary, but Yuan Kui, who was the head of the family, was a vegetarian and could not have the courage to do anything. If it is up to him to correct the Han Dynasty, the world will be overturned. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't mean that He Bai looked down on the Yuan family so much. Li Ru's heart moved even more when he heard this, and he shouted: "This place is dirty, and I am willing to ask the lord to move to the other hall with He Taizhong to discuss in detail." ”

He Bai said with a smile: "I heard that the former general is also ambitious and hungry for Hulu meat, and laughs about the heroes and heroes who are thirsty for the blood of the Huns. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he suddenly felt that he knew what he had, but wasn't it, as a martial artist, what scene had he never seen, how could he be suspicious of blood stains and dead corpses, and he talked with He Bai on the spot about the future political affairs of the DPRK and China.

When he heard that Dong Zhuo wanted to rehabilitate Chen Fan and Dou Wu, who were condemned as traitors during the September coup d'état in the first year of Jianning (168), and many party members who were arrested and killed in the "Second Disaster of the Party" the following year. Restore the titles of Chen Fan, Dou Wu and others, and promote their children and grandchildren to officials. And when he got close to the scholars, recruited famous people into the court as officials, and rebuilt the words of the prosperous Han Dynasty, He Bai almost couldn't believe that this was from the mouth of Dong Zhuo, a careerist who was famous in history for his brutality and immorality and troubled the world.

But think about it in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo doesn't seem to be too bad at the beginning. It wasn't until Yuan Shao and other princes of the Eighteen Towns raised troops to fight against Dong that Dong Zhuo became tyrannical because he was repeatedly hit by the soldiers who had been promoted by him and betrayed him for no reason.

Speaking of which, it is because Dong Zhuo is not a scholar, and his actions are inconsistent with the thoughts of scholars. The reason why he was unwilling to obey Empress Dowager He and came out to take charge of the government was also due to Dong Zhuo's bad consequences. He is worse than Dong Zhuo's foundation in the court, and even Dong Zhuo can't stand it, let alone himself. It's better to start a new kang.

To say that there are more tyrannical careerists than Dong Zhuo in history, but it is Dong Zhuo who is most hated, and even after his death, he was lit by a sky lantern, which can only be said to be the result of the times, not his own crime. Therefore, He Bai even felt a little pity for Dong Zhuo, even though his subsequent actions could be killed, but at this time, he was still a loyal minister who wanted to rejuvenate the Han Court.

"He Taizhong," Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo and He Bai were talking happily, and couldn't help asking: "My lord has no other power in the court, and he wants to lead the Xiyuan Army to help consolidate his power." Mrs. He has been in the West Garden for a long time, I don't know how the West Garden Army can be used by my father-in-law? ”

Dong Zhuo also looked at He Bai with expectation, He Bai smiled slightly, and said: "This matter is easy, the Yuan clan and the Xiyuan army already have grievances, and they are afraid that the Yuan clan will be in power. With the prestige of Dong Gong's soldiers and horses in the capital now, as long as he sends people to summon him and treats the generals well, the Xiyuan army will definitely vote for Dong Gong......"
