In order to avoid that Huangfu Song made too many meritorious contributions and was difficult to control, Dong Zhuo sent people to remove Huangfu Song's military power when he decided to leave Chang'an.

After coming to Luoyang, Huangfu Song was hung for a few days, and only today was Huangfu Song summoned.

Looking at the calm and cold old enemy in front of him, Dong Zhuo wanted to swing his knife and cut it directly, but he was afraid of cutting Huangfu Song for no reason.

After all, Huangfu Song is different from Yuan Kui, although Yuan Shao and others are known as King Qin, they are only rebellious to the Chang'an court, and killing Yuan Kui is justified.

But Huangfu Song only listened to the order of the Son of Heaven, even if this order of the Son of Heaven was from Dong Zhuo's hand!

As soon as the order of the Son of Heaven arrived, Huangfu Song gave the military power to Dong Zhuo without any delay.

If it is cut for no reason, it is equivalent to putting everyone in Chang'an in danger.

Dong Zhuo wanted to cut Huangfu Song under the pretense of military law, but the plan also failed, and he also paid a cronie Huaxiong.

"Huangfu Yushi, you have made a meritorious contribution to repelling the traitor Lu Zhi, and this Taishi has not rewarded you yet."

"Do you have any requests?"

Dong Zhuo pretended to be kind.

Huangfu Song's face did not change, and he still had a cold face.

"Seeking thieves for the country is an internal matter, and there is no need to ask for a reward." Huangfu Song's answer was also simple and crisp.

Dong Zhuo laughed: "This is not good! If there is no reward for meritorious service, doesn't it make the generals think that the rewards and punishments of this master are unknown? ”

But the next moment, Dong Zhuo's eyes became ruthless: "Then, reward you with a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"There is a general named Guan Yu under Lu Zhi, who was originally under Liu Bei of Qingzhou."

"This Taishi promised Liu Bei the position of Qingzhou pastor, and wanted Guan Yu to retire."

"But Guan Yu was scolded by Lu Zhi with a hundred military sticks, which is really hateful and pity."

"However, Wen You said that this Lu Zhi may be using bitter meat tricks, trying to make this Taishi mistakenly think that Guan Yu can be the internal response."

"It's just right, you haven't been doing anything lately, why don't you go to Lu Zhi's military camp for this Taishi, if Guan Yu really has hatred for Lu Zhi, what should he do?"

Huangfu Song decisively refused: "Taishi, I have a grudge against all the generals under Lu Zhi, if I go to investigate, it will definitely hurt the Taishi's affairs, and please appoint another capable person to go." ”

Dong Zhuo scolded sharply: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them!" How could Lu Zhi not understand the truth? Are you going to disobey? ”

Huangfu Song was silent.

Dong Zhuo's plan to kill people with a knife is too obvious.

This is to let Huangfu Song die at the hands of Lu Zhi!

"I also asked the Taishi to send a close confidant to be the deputy envoy." Huangfu Song looked at Li Ru beside Dong Zhuo with a cold gaze.

Li Ru couldn't help but be startled.

This Huangfu Song is so ruthless, is this trying to pull me to death?

Before Li Ru could speak, Dong Zhuo rejected Huangfu Song's proposal: "What kind of deputy envoy do you want?" At most, you'll have a few guards. ”

Huangfu Song saw that Dong Zhuo was determined, so he no longer argued and was ordered to retreat.

Looking at the departing Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo felt indescribably comfortable in his heart: "What a bitter plan, this can give this Taishi the opportunity to borrow a knife to kill people." ”

"Huangfu Song killed Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses so ruthlessly, there must be people under Lu Zhi's command who hate Huangfu Song to the core, if Huangfu Song can die in Lu Zhi's army, not only in addition to the big trouble, but also the people of the Huangfu family will definitely serve the death of this Taishi."

Li Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and flattered: "The Taishi will calculate, and at the same time calculate Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are not equal to the wisdom of the Taishi." ”

Dong Zhuo listened very well to it, and laughed: "It's ridiculous that Lu Zhi Shaozhi and Huangfu have no plan, and they dare to show off their scheming in front of this Taishi." ”

Liu Ai returned to Chang'an at night to see Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Dong Huang, who was in charge of the palace guards, saw that it was Liu Ai, the long history, and did not stop him.

Almost all the ministers and officials of Chang'an City know that Liu Ai is Dong Zhuo's cronies!

went straight to the palace, and Liu Ai found Liu Xie.

Although Dong Zhuo is domineering, he will still inform Liu Xie of the issuance of the holy decree.

But it was only a notice that Liu Xie was not qualified to refute it.

Dong Zhuo's purpose in doing this was just to express an attitude in front of the ministers and officials: Look, this Taishi is still Hanchen!

Although the ministers knew what this meant, no one objected.

As long as Dong Zhuo considers himself a Hanchen, there will still be a chance to mediate.

Although Liu Xie is young, he is talented and intelligent, different from ordinary teenagers.

In the face of the authoritarian Dong Zhuo, he is also a well-behaved honorific father.

"Liu Changshi, why did you come to look for me late at night?" The Son of Heaven, who is less than ten years old, also has royal manners.

Although he is well-behaved and sensible in front of Dong Zhuo, his royal demeanor is not bad in front of ministers like Liu Ai.

After all, Liu Xie was a smart young man who was able to act calmly and answer questions fluently when facing Dong Zhuo's army who didn't know friends and enemies in the chaos of the Ten Standing Servants.

And Liu Xie at that time was only eight years old!

It is far more calm than the frightened young emperor Liu Wei, who trembled all over, trembled his legs, and couldn't speak.

Liu Ai saluted respectfully and said: "On the order of the Taishi, I will ask for the holy decree of the Qingzhou Mu, and the minister will personally send the envoy to Qingzhou." ”

Liu Xie frowned: "Why do you want to ask again?" Where is the seal of the previous decree? ”

Liu Ai did not hide it, and gave Liu Xie a concise statement about everything he had to do in Guan Yu's camp.

"Old man Lu Zhi, not only committed rebellion, but also dared to detain my holy decree, unforgivable!" Liu Xie was "furious": "When will Shang's father return to Chang'an?" ”

Liu Ai said: "The battle in Luoyang is difficult to end in a short period of time. ”

Liu Xie frowned and shouted: "This group of traitors to the party is really hateful!" Liu Changshi can go to Qingzhou as soon as possible to announce the decree. ”

After Liu Ai left, Liu Xie was still "angry".

Long.

Liu Xie's eyes returned from "anger" to peace.

Everything just now was just something that Liu Xie deliberately disguised and listened to Dong Huang's cronies who were listening outside the door.

"It seems that this time, the Guan Allied Army, which is crusading against Dong Thief, is more active than last time."

"It's time for Liu He to ask Da Sima to send troops!"

Among the ministers and officials of Chang'an, there are not many civil and military officials who are loyal to Liu Xie.

It's just that Dong Zhuo was brutal and killed all the civil and military who opposed it on the surface.

The remaining Qingliu ministers, led by Wang Yun, catered to Dong Zhuo on the surface, but secretly they were looking for an opportunity to contact Qin Wang Yishi.

And such as Liu Ai, the governor of Xiangguo, Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, the son of Youzhou Mu, Liu He, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, Liu Dan, the secretary of the imperial history, and other ministers of the clan, are also plotting against Dong Zhuo in their own ways.

These people are not a whole, but they are all trying to get rid of Dong Zhuo for Liu Xie in different ways.

Liu Xie was calm and cautious, while calling Dong Zhuo's father proud of Dong Zhuo's heart, while quietly conspiring with Wang Yun, Liu Ai and others.

Soon after Liu Ai went to Qingzhou, Liu He also left Chang'an City with a holy decree.

A minister of the clan like Liu Yu needs to get Liu Xie's edict to welcome the Son of Heaven.

The taboo is deep.

If you are not careful, you will become a rebel and a thief.

After all, Dong Zhuo at this time still represents the Son of Heaven!

As for Yuan Shao and other Guanqi troops who met for the first time, they had no intention of recognizing Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and the slogans to ask Dong Zhuo were all about Dong Zhuo's self-defeating emperor.

Even Lu Zhi also used Dong Zhuo's reason to depose the emperor in vain.

However, Yuan Shao, Lu Zhi and others have always been Hanchen, and even if Dong Zhuo is killed, they have to support Liu Xie.

After all, Liu Wei is dead, who else can he support besides Liu Xie?

But Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan are different, they are all ministers of the clan, and if this is successful, there is no need to support Liu Xie!

It is more likely that the Dong Allied Army directly supported one of them as the emperor!

For the civil and military forces who participated in the discussion of Dong: Compared with supporting Liu Xie, it is definitely the clan surnamed Liu who supports the discussion of Dong to get more benefits.

This is also an important reason why, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yan did not participate in the two discussions with Dong.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, is quite helpless, after all, almost all the counties and states of Yanzhou are involved in the fight against Dong, and if Liu Dai doesn't go to Yanzhou, no one will listen to him.

Huangfu Song came to Lu Zhi's military camp calmly.

The former emperor Fu Song won for a while at Chenggao Pass, and blocked Lu Zhi in Chenggao Pass and did not dare to leave the pass.

Now it was Lu Zhi who won for a while, so that Huangfu Song's military power was relieved by Dong Zhuo.

"Brother Zi is as good at scheming as ever." Huangfu Song ignored the angry eyes of the generals in Lu Zhishuai's tent.

After all, in the next battle of Chenggao Pass, Huangfu Song's ruthlessness caused heavy losses to the soldiers and horses under Lu Zhi.

Especially the first den of Koji Yi, it is more than half!

Lu Zhi chuckled: "Yizhen is clever in using military methods, and the old man is ashamed of himself, so he can only use means other than this battlefield." ”

"Yizhen came to the old man's camp, didn't he come to inquire for Dong Zhuo?"

Huangfu Song glanced at the generals of the handsome tent, but did not see Guan Yu, and already had a guess in his heart: "Dong Zhuo suspects that Brother Zi is using bitter meat tricks, so let me see if the brave Guan Yunchang was really beaten with a hundred military sticks." ”

"By the way, he angered his godbrother and beheaded me by his brother's hand."

Seeing that Huangfu Song said so frankly, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "Since Yizhen has a gap with Dong Zhuo, why do you still have to resist the old man's army of King Qin." ”

Huangfu Song didn't think twice: "I am the imperial historian appointed by the Son of Heaven, and the son godbrother you, are just traitors to the party." ”

Tian Yu angrily drew his sword: "Huangfu Song, you are helping to abuse and saying so high-sounding, humiliating Master Lu, do I really dare not kill you?" ”

Huangfu Song compared his neck: "Cut here, with a sword, my Huangfu clan will be dead to Dong Zhuo, and I will never die with my brother." ”

Tian Yu was stunned, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Lu Zhi waved his hand and asked Tian Yu to face him: "Yizhen, you go back." The old man won't kill you, but he won't let you spy on the reality in the army. As for whether it is a bitter meat trick, let Dong Zhuo guess! ”

"Brother Zi, even with Yuan Shu's help, your Qinwang plan will not succeed, if you want to punish Dong Zhuo, external forces will always work. Brother Zi, you should know what I mean. Huangfu Song left a word, turned around and left, neatly.

Looking at the departing Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi's eyes became deep.

"Huangfu Yizhen, the old man is different from you."

"Even if King Qin's plan really fails, the old man will not choose to go along with Dong Thief."

"You have such a ability, but you have chosen the most foolish and loyal way, unfortunately, pathetic."

Dong Zhuo appeared in Luoyang, and Lu Zhi and Sun Jian's forces became overstretched.

After the two discussed, they chose to temporarily retreat to Taigu Pass and Chenggao Pass, while recuperating their strength, and on the other hand, they increased their troops.

In order to avoid being discovered by Dong Zhuojun when he walked through Chenggao Pass, Liu He, who carried the holy decree, came to Taigu Pass to see Sun Jian, and wanted to take Taigu Pass out of Luoyang and go to Youzhou.

Sun Jian saw that Liu He had a holy decree, so he sent someone to send Liu He to see Yuan Shu first.

As soon as Yuan Shu saw the holy decree, he was instantly happy.

Sending troops to fight against Dong, Yuan Shu has always been worried that without Liu Xie's holy purpose, even if he succeeds in killing Dong Zhuo in the future, he will be easily slandered.

But now that he has the Holy Decree, Yuan Shu can let go of his hands and feet.

"Liu Shizhong, it's a long way to Youzhou, if the holy decree is lost halfway, wouldn't it ruin Your Majesty's plan?"

"Why don't you stay in Luyang, and then send a letter to Da Sima, asking Da Sima to send cavalry to Luyang to join the alliance?"

"The Xiliang Army is brave in battle, if there is no Youzhou Iron Cavalry to help, it will be difficult for us to defeat Dong Zhuo."

Yuan Shu's words were "sincere", as if he really hoped that Liu Yu would come to the alliance.

"Why don't you borrow me a soldier and horse and escort the Holy Decree into Youzhou?" Liu He is not stupid.

If this holy decree is in the hands of Yuan Shu, then is the credit for asking for Dong to be Yuan Shu's or his father's?

But Yuan Shu was obviously more treacherous than Liu He, and said worriedly: "Liu Shizhong, Sun Tingshi has been urging me to increase my troops, but most of this Luyang's soldiers are new soldiers, how can they resist Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Xiaoqi?" ”

"Does Liu Shizhong want to harm the country's affairs for his own selfish interests?"

Liu He suddenly had no reason.

In desperation, Liu He could only write a letter to Liu Yu and ask Liu Yu to lead his troops south to join Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu actually detained the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and he had to immediately notify the envoy and Brother Xianmou." Hua Ji, who learned the news, sent someone to Qingzhou again to deliver the news.

Since Yecheng returned to Qingzhou, Liu Bei and Zheng Ping have been busy with spring cultivation in Qingzhou.

This year's spring ploughing is particularly important!

It is necessary not only to persuade the people of the counties and states to make timely preparations for spring ploughing, but also to organize a large number of displaced people to open up wasteland and farmland.

Tuntian is actually not a benevolent government.

The displaced people of Tuntian were essentially a group of serfs.

When to farm, when to eat, and when to sleep, there are strict legal requirements.

Once the decree is violated, it is punished.

Its severity is no weaker than military law!

In order to increase the fear of the edict among the people of Tuntian, there will be a harsh punishment similar to joint sitting.

This is actually contrary to Liu Bei's original intention!

However, even Liu Bei, who wanted to let the people recuperate, had to adopt this method of tuntian, which regarded the displaced people as serfs.

Only through large-scale agricultural collective production can more wasteland be reclaimed and cultivated.

This is the helpless reality!

If we can't be ruthless, once we can't get enough grain during the autumn harvest, Qingzhou's food predicament will become more and more severe.

The only thing Liu Bei could do was to follow the people of Tuntian to open up the wasteland.

Use your own efforts to tell this group of Tuntian people who are bound by strict laws and regulations that as long as they survive the autumn harvest, they can solve the food and clothing for the coming year!

It is also Liu Bei who will use this most simple and simple way to gain the trust of the people of Tuntian.

After all, there is a history of Qingzhou thorns, and he personally comes to open up the wasteland every day, what else can not be trusted?

"Did Liu Tingshi go to open up the wasteland in person?"

In Linzi City, Liu Ai, who was ordered to announce the decree, looked at Zheng Ping in the Assassin's Mansion in astonishment.
