Rangers of the Three Kingdoms - C368
Now that the cavalry of Youzhou had left, the West Cold Cavalry began to open up endlessly. The rumbling sounds of horse hooves heavily pounding on the hearts of the people in the Luoyang could be heard, their expressions became more and more serious, just like the dark sky, heavy enough to make people unable to breathe.
Right at this time, Dong Zhuo’s little brother, General Wu De Wu Dong Min, was extremely busy. In just a single day, he had already paid a visit to all the Generals s of the Grand General Ho Jin. Relying on his relationship with He Jin and his glib tongue, he was able to rope in these Generals.
On the second day after his lobbying, He Jin’s group of generals came over to Dong Zhuo’s temporary residence one after another and officially pledged allegiance to him. Even He Jin’s family’s generals were not willing to be left behind, as they all jumped into Dong Zhuo’s embrace.
This couldn’t be blamed on those Generals s. Even though He Jin had died, they still wanted to live on, and even wanted to live on better. Anyone who knew would be able to tell that in the current dynasty, other than wannabe led by Dong Zhuo, there were only warriors led by Yuan Jun. Moreover, they were only wannabe, so other than defecting to Dong Zhuo’s side, there seemed to be no other way out for them.
Immediately after, the eunuchs and generals from the West Garden Army also came to join Dong Zhuo. They were snobbish people to begin with, and the reason why they chose to rely on the eunuchs was for their future. Now that the Eunuch was almost dead, they had to find a new master, and this Dong Zhuo didn’t look too bad. Even a wise general like Cao Cao had voluntarily came over to please him.
Amongst the Northern Army and West Garden Army’s generals, only the Yuan Clan’s first tier Generals was still standing. Some of them were originally from Scholars, while some were from the Yuan Family’s families, and some were from the Yuan Family. From the bottom of their hearts, they looked down upon Dong Zhuo, and they would never be able to surrender to him.
Of the army generals that He Jin had summoned and the generals that He Jin had sent to recruit soldiers, only Qiu Yi had sided with Dong Zhuo. In a fit of anger, Lieutenant Bao Xin led the troops back to their home, holding gold! Ding Yuan, Dongxian Imperial Guard Bridge Tortoise, Great General Chai Wang Kuang, West Garden Army False Sima Zhang Yang led the troops and stationed them around the Luoyang to observe the situation.
Dong Zhuo’s Sima Li Ru was indeed making fun of the people of the world, what kind of West Cold Cavalry was coming? It was all Li Ru’s fault. When it was deep into the night, the two thousand West Cold Cavalry s slowly walked out of the city. On the morning of the second day, the cavalry once again rode into the Luoyang, causing the tense air above the Luoyang to solidify even more.
“Hehe …” Our plan has worked. Right now, most of the northern army and West Garden Army’s generals have already pledged their allegiance to me. Now, I can rely on my formidable martial prowess to slowly subdue these high-ranking officers and increase my own strength. At the same time, I can pierce through all the famous scholars in the world to fight against the group of scholars led by Yuan Zhong. This way, I can firmly control the government and look down on the whole world. ”
Dong Zhuo laughed proudly, his laughter filled with confidence and heroism. It wasn’t easy, he had walked step by step and finally reached the peak of power. Whether it was the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager or the ministers, they all had to listen to him. Just thinking about it made him happy.
“Lord General, it’s too early to be happy now. Whether it was the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager, or those scholars, none of them would tolerate a general pointing fingers in the imperial court. They may not be their opponents in the war, but we might not be their opponents if we were to scheme and scheme. ”
Li Ru was not modest at all. Although he was a strategist, accustomed to scheming and scheming, and was extremely intelligent, he was still a person after all. He was not a god, and facing the entire Scholars, or perhaps a conspiracy, he was also somewhat afraid.
“Grand General Ho Jin is the best example. Even though he holds the military power and is the empress dowager’s elder brother, doesn’t he end up dying together with his eunuchs? If not for the fact that the Lord General was a step faster, the ministers would probably be the only victor. ”
“Then what should we do?” When he thought about He Jin’s bloody head, Dong Zhuo felt chills down his spine. On the battlefield, he might not be afraid of death, but if he was like He Jin and let people kill him in a daze, wouldn’t that be a death sentence?
“While the Luoyang is not stable yet, with the speed of lightning, she immediately crippled the Young Emperor, forced the Empress Dowager He back into politics, and established King Chen Liu Liu Xie. From then on, the Young Emperor and the Empress Dowager He’s Alliance of Might had been eradicated. Since King Chen Liu was still young and didn’t have any relatives, it was easy to control. Since the Lord General has contributed greatly to the establishment of this place and also has the same surname as the Empress Dowager Dong who raised King Chen Liu Liu Xie, barely being considered as a relative, the world is more or less stable. ”
“Hehe …” We all happened to be in the same boat. ” From the moment he saw the Young Emperor and the King Chen Liu, Dong Zhuo had already started to act like a cripple. Seeing that Li Ru also had the same intentions, he nodded his head: “I do not care about the ministers of the imperial court, it’s just that the Hussar General Yang Lin is very close, if he wants to object, what can he do?”
“Lord General is right.” Li Ru stopped smiling and said seriously: “I have personally seen hussar general, and discovered that although this person is young, he is not simple. However, I have a feeling that he will not become our enemy, at least for now. So we have to be fast, fast enough for him to be unable to react. Once New Emperor ascended the throne, even if he wanted to oppose it, it would be too late. He is a loyal person and would never oppose the Emperor. ”
Dong Zhuo, who had been rampant on the battlefield for a long time, was also a decisive person. He naturally understood how important it was to finish the battle quickly. However, it wasn’t an easy thing to cripple an emperor. Many people in history had done this before, but it was all planned out over a long period of time. Right now, Dong Zhuo didn’t have anything, he only had confidence and determination.
Dong Zhuo was very clear that if he wanted to abolish the Young Emperor Liu Bian and support the King Chen Liu Liu Xie, he had to first pass the trial of Yuan Huo. As long as he didn’t oppose it, even if it was just silence, he could do whatever he wanted. However, since the Young Emperor had returned to the palace, Yuan Zhong had been ill. He didn’t know if it was a real illness or a fake illness, but he didn’t want to come to court anyway.
As Yuan Zhong did not show himself, the most active scholar minister in the Luoyang was Yuan Shao, he had already become the Yuan clan’s new leader and leader. Dong Zhuo sent someone to invite Yuan Shao over. He planned to first convince Yuan Shao, and then let Yuan Shao convince the other ministers.
“The king of the world should be a wise man. Every time he thought of the Spirit Emperor, it would make him angry. The King Chen Liu doesn’t look too bad. Now that I plan to change him to become the Emperor, I wonder if he will be able to win against the Young Emperor? Some people are clever, big things confused, who knows what he will do? If King Chen Liu can’t do it, then Liu’s isn’t worth keeping any seeds for! ”
After exchanging a few words with Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo straightforwardly stated his useless plan. He did not bother to conceal his anger towards Hanling Emperor Liu Hong. He actually went as far as showing off his authority to the royal family. If King Chen Liu was not up to the throne, he might very well abolish the Liu’s Dynasty.
“The Darkhan Dynasty has ruled the world for 400 years.” The Darkhan Dynasty has ruled the world for 400 years. Currently, the Emperor was still young and had no personal authority. He did not have any faults in passing on to the world. “Now that you want to cripple the position of the direct descendant, I’m afraid that everyone will not agree with your proposal!”
Of course, Yuan Shao understood what was on Dong Zhuo’s mind, and he would definitely not agree to Dong Zhuo’s useless act. No matter if he supported the Young Emperor or not, he would still let Dong Zhuo’s scheme succeed. Furthermore, by opposing Dong Zhuo, he could even establish his own image of a loyal monarch.
Dong Zhuo was furious, holding onto the sword hilt, he shouted at Yuan Shao: “Kid, you are bold, you actually dare to be so impudent! Am I the one who decides what is going on in this world? If I wanted to do this, who would dare disobey me? Do you think that my, Dong Zhuo’s, blade is not sharp!?
“Your blade is sharp, but mine is even sharper!” Yuan Shao did not show any weakness, he held the blade in his waist horizontally, his hand holding onto the knife handle, he raised his head high, and snorted coldly: “Hmph. There are so many Hero and hero in the world, do you think you are the only one? ”
Yuan Shao turned and walked straight ahead.
Looking at Yuan Shao’s back, Dong Zhuo was so angry that his teeth ached. But when he thought about how he had just arrived in Luoyang and how Yuan Shao was the official minister of Scholars, he knew that he still had to rely on them in the future. Thus, he could only suppress his resentment and did not dare to kill Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao left Dong Zhuo’s residence, he did not dare delay at all and immediately arrived at Yuan Gui’s house. “He told Yuan Zhong about what happened just now.” Uncle and Uncle, we have lured Dong Zhuo to the capital just to get rid of him and his relatives. He never thought that the wolf would actually depose the Son of Heaven. It seems like we were wrong, Dong Zhuo was holding onto a heavy soldier, and maybe the danger he posed to the Darky Court was even greater than the laws of the adulterous castration and his relatives. ”
“I had originally thought that after getting rid of the adulterous castration and the external relatives, we would have the hope of reviving the burly man.” In fact, Yuan Zhong’s body was not sick, but had heart disease. Hearing Yuan Shao’s words, Yuan Wu became even more pained, “From the moment Dong Zhuo stole the Young Emperor’s body, I already knew that I was wrong. We, the scholars, always place our hopes on others, but we end up being disappointed again and again. ”
“Uncle and Uncle, after Dong Zhuo deposed the Son of Heaven and forced the empress dowager to return to government, there is only one young master left to do whatever he wants. He was a wannabe, a general who had guarded the borders for decades. He had suffered under the attacks of the adulterous castration and his relatives, suffered under the wanton trampling and humiliation of the strong man’s orders, and knew very well the reason for the country’s decline. Once he gained control of the country’s power, what did he want to do the most? He already has the power and money he wants, and the enemy he wants to eradicate is already dead. So, what should he do next? ”
“I know what you mean. Didn’t Dong Zhuo already say it? If King Chen Liu is also not good enough, then Liu’s is not worth keeping seeds for! This was a naked rebel! Furthermore, Dong Zhuo is not Yi Yin or Huo Guang. If I’m not wrong, the day where Dong Zhuo crippled the Son of Heaven is the day of chaos in the world. ”
“Uncle and Uncle, is there really no way to save him?” Towards this Darkhan Dynasty who gave them wealth and glory, Yuan Shao still had some feelings towards him.
“Sigh …” This was heaven’s will … How can a human being be saved? ” Yuan Yuan shook his head, his expression becoming even more unsightly, “I think I somewhat understand that Yang Lin, who wielded a heavy weapon, had retreated without saying a word! What is he waiting for? ”
“Uncle and Uncle, it looks like it’s very important for us to have our own army!” “Remembering Dong Zhuo’s viciousness, Yuan Shao felt a little lingering fear. The enmity between Dong Zhuo and I has already been formed, he will not let me off. I am making use of this opportunity to leave the Luoyang and build my own army. “
