In Dong Zhuo's big tent, all the generals gathered, sitting one by one, this was the first time Wei Xuan saw that there was no wine and food in the tent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Zhuo looked around, took out a codex, and said: "Today, I received the letter from the general He Jin and summoned Dong to lead the troops into Beijing, what do you think?"

Seeing that Li Ru arched his hand and wanted to get up, Wei Xuan preemptively said: "He Jin privately summons foreign soldiers, which is illegal." If the name is not right, it is not good. Why don't the generals send someone to the table, please clear the king's side, then there will be a big deal!"

Li Ru wanted to say the same thing, but Wei Xuan said it first, and he was speechless for a while, and his face turned red, so he had to echo and said: "What Lord Wei said is extremely true, don't doubt it." ”

Dong Zhuo's most trusted person was Li Ru, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately went to the table, pointing the spearhead at Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs. Of course, the so-called above table is just an excuse. Without waiting for the imperial court to reply, Dong Zhuo began to dispatch troops and agreed to set off in half a month. The Guardian Department is also in the queue.

......

Although Zhang Ji and Yang Feng are not credible, Jia Xu and Xu Huang are assisted in handling military affairs, and Wei Xuan does not have to worry about it. And he has always believed that professional things should be left to professionals. Obviously, in terms of marching and fighting, Jia Xu and Xu Huang are more professional than him. During this time, he also accompanied Cai Yan's mother and son, enjoyed the joy of family, and spent a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in the Wei family's courtyard.

According to historical records, Dong Zhuo only brought 3,000 men and horses with him when he entered Beijing. This time, I don't know if it was due to the impact of Wei Xuan's arrival on Dong Zhuo, the soldiers and horses he brought with him actually expanded fivefold to 15,000 people, and another 15,000 people remained in Hedong as backup.

With more soldiers and horses, more preparations need to be made. From the fifth day of August, it was decided to march into Luoyang, and it was not until August 21 that Dong Zhuo led his men and horses to leave Anyi and march in the direction of Luoyang. Dong Zhuo couldn't ride a horse himself, and there were many carts in the team, so the speed of movement was very slow. On August 22, the army arrived in Dayang County, Hedong County. On 23 August, the army crossed the Yellow River at Maoxian Ferry. On August 24, he came to Huangchi County, Hongnong County. On August 25, he passed through Hangu Pass.

On August 25, a major event happened in the capital Luoyang, where Zhang Rang and others took the lead and killed He Jin. He Jin's subordinates Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang and others got the news, and immediately quit, and rushed directly into the palace with their troops, and killed the eunuchs when they saw them. Zhang Rang and Duan Qi led their troops to resist and persisted until dawn on August 26, but finally they couldn't hold it anymore, and several people came to Changle Palace, falsely claiming that He Jin's subordinates had rebelled, and hijacked Empress Dowager He, Emperor Liu Wei, Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, and dozens of officials to flee to the North Palace. On the way, he met Shangshu Lu Zhi and saved the Empress Dowager He.

Soon, Yuan Shu and others led the crowd to besiege the North Palace. On August 27, Zhang Rang and others could not even defend the North Palace, so they had to rush out of the valley gate with Liu Wei, Liu Xie, and some officials overnight, and fled in the direction of Xiaopingjin in the northeast of Luoyang. At this time, Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang didn't know what they were busy with, only Lu Zhi and Peng Mingong in central Henan led a team of cavalry to chase closely, and they didn't catch up until dawn in the east on the 28th, and killed several eunuchs. Zhang Rang and others knew that they could not escape the blame and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

On the evening of August 27, Dong Zhuo also led the army to Luoyang. Seeing the fire in Luoyang from afar, Dong Zhuo knew that the situation had changed, so he didn't care about taking the car anymore, but also changed to a fast horse, asked the direction where Zhang Rang and the others fled, and led the troops to chase after him. Chased until dawn, at the foot of Beimang Mountain east of Luoyang, I ran into a large group of people and horses. However, another group of ministers caught up with Liu Wei and Liu Xie and escorted them back to Luoyang.

Dong Zhuoce immediately stepped forward and said sharply: "Where is the emperor!"

Liu Wei was riding on a horse, and when he saw the dusty sky in front of him and the flags covering the sun, he didn't know how many military horses there were, so he was so frightened that he cried at that time, opened his mouth, and couldn't answer a word.

Although Liu Xie was young, he seemed to be a little more courageous than Liu Wei, urging the horse to block in front of Liu Wei, and asked, "Are you here to hijack or escort?"

Dong Zhuo hurriedly said: "The minister is here to escort!"

Liu Xie reprimanded: "Since you came to escort you, why don't you worship when you see the emperor!"

Dong Zhuo was so shocked that he had to jump off the horse and pay a big salute. And Wei Xuan and other generals were in armor, but they avoided the trouble of full ceremony. In fact, even if he didn't pay homage to this festival, Dong Zhuo didn't want to continue riding on the horse. This rush to chase along the way can make a dead fat man choke enough.

Speaking of which, Liu Xie is five years younger than Liu Wei, but he can answer questions fluently, which makes the officials secretly surprised, and some people even deduce that Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Xie was able to surpass Liu Wei, so he had the idea of abolishing Liu Xie and establishing Liu Xie. Not really.

Even though Liu Xie has some talents, after all, he is only nine years old, and how can he be higher than the fourteen-year-old Liu Wei? Unless he is a child prodigy. If Liu Xie is really talented and can be more vigilant, then he will not be controlled by others in turn, and he has been a puppet emperor for decades, and he can't even save the lives of his wife and children.

Others didn't know, but Wei Xuan could hear it clearly. The reason why Liu Xie was able to answer fluently was the result of Min Gong's quiet guidance. Because Liu Xie was young, he rode the same horse as Min Gong.

As for Dong Zhuo's desire to abolish Liu Wei and establish Liu Xie separately, it has nothing to do with whether Liu Xie is capable or not. Think about it, one is a fourteen-year-old emperor and the other is a nine-year-old emperor, which is easier to control? Needless to say, of course, the nine-year-old one. Moreover, there is also Empress Dowager He behind Liu Bian, and there is a group of old troops from He Jin, but there is nothing behind Liu Xie. Dong Zhuo supports Liu Xie, so that he can really have the final say.

......

Soon, under the escort of Dong Zhuo's army, Liu Wei, Liu Xie, and the ministers returned to Luoyang.

Bao Xin, the lieutenant of the military academy, came to see Yuan Shao and persuaded: "Dong Zhuo must have different intentions, but he can get rid of him as soon as possible while his foothold is not stable!"

Yuan Shao hesitated: "The court is newly decided, and it cannot be moved lightly." ”

Bao Xin was helpless and came to see Henan Yin Wangyun again.

Wang Yun also said: "Let's discuss." ”

Bao Xin was disappointed and led his troops and horses to Shandong.

In the past, Liu Hong set up the eighth lieutenant of the West Garden to lead the forbidden army. The eunuch Jian Shuo was appointed as a military captain, the head of the eight captains, and he was killed by He Jin.

As soon as Jian Shuo died, the seven captains were leaderless and went their own way. Now Bao Xin has led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to leave, and only six captains remain, namely Yuan Shao, the captain of the Central Military Academy, Cao Cao, the captain of the Dianjun Academy, Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, Xia Mou, the left captain, and Chun Yuqiong, the right captain.

In addition to the forbidden army led by the eighth lieutenant in Luoyang City, He Jin and He Miao's subordinates also had many soldiers and horses. Although Dong Zhuo brought 15,000 people to Beijing this time, compared with the soldiers of the He Jin brothers and the forbidden army, it was still only a minority.

The North Palace is the dormitory of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the concubines, and it is also the place where the important affairs of the imperial court are discussed. If Wei Xuan wants to enter the North Palace to find out where the boundary gate is, he must help Dong Zhuo control the government, and these soldiers and horses have become the biggest obstacle. The first thing Wei Xuan has to do is to clear this obstacle.
