I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 206, Luoyang Chaos

Li Ru said in astonishment: "General, after His Majesty died of illness, there will be no one in the world who can suppress the nobles and nobles. Now that we don't seek refuge with Yuan Kai, we will have no chance in the future!"

Dong Zhuo said: "What's the use of taking refuge in Yuan Kai? Now that I'm a former general, Yuan Kai will give me a general of hussars or general of chariots?"

Li Ru stopped talking, General Huqi and General Cheqi were both higher than Sangong, Yuan Kai obviously wouldn't give it.

But Dong Zhuo is now a former general, and his status is second only to Sangong. If you don't take the position of Sangong, why should Dong Zhuo help you?

Li Ru thought about the novel for a while and asked, "General, do you want to stand by Shi Changshi and them?"

Although Zhang Rang and the others are weak now, but they control the palace, they may not have a plan to turn defeat into victory. After all, the great general Dou Wu also formed an alliance with Chen Fan decades ago, which is more powerful than the alliance between He Jin and Yuan Kai now, but it is not They were also defeated by the eunuchs. If Dong Zhuo led an army to help Zhang Rang, they might not be able to reproduce the results of decades ago!

The most important point is that the eunuchs are very generous, and they will get a former general for Dong Zhuo if they give them money. If they help them survive this catastrophe, maybe they will really give Dong Zhuo a great general or Taiwei.

You must know that in the past few decades, the only warrior Taiwei is the matter of the alliance between Duan Xie and the eunuch. Dong Zhuo may not be able to be the next Duan Xie!
Dong Zhuo asked, "Wen You thinks Zhang Rang and the others have a chance of winning?"

Li Ru shook his head and said: "There is no chance of winning. It is precisely because of the mutiny decades ago that both the general and the Tai Tuo held the military power very firmly. Dong Zhong eliminated anyone who could threaten him. The Taifu even arranged all his children in the West Garden Army and the Northern Army, and even contacted you, General, as a backup. Under such surveillance, Zhang asked them to be It is impossible to touch the military power!"

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Then what is this old man doing in Luoyang? He's over sixty years old, and he's still being treated like a dog!"

Dong Zhuo's heart was chilled by Yuan Kai's use.

He is still as arrogant as he was decades ago, thinking that giving himself a chance to be a dog is an appreciation of himself.

Laozi is now a former general in Dahan, and his status is not much worse than yours.

Dong Zhuo recalled that he had fought for the Great Han Kingdom for more than [-] years. He fought many battles and made many achievements. However, because he was Zhang Huan's disciple, he never received any rewards.

Seeing that others can get promoted and get rich without fighting, he knew the importance of having a backer, so he took refuge in Yuan Kai, but Yuan Kai only used his ability to fight, and looked down on him as a warrior at all, and refused after he was promoted to the captain. Help Dong Zhuo again, and even after Yuan Kai completed his local resume, he directly kicked Dong Zhuo away.

So Dong Zhuo went to spend money to curry favor with Zhang and let them buy an official. Sure enough, his official career began to prosper. He could be promoted no matter whether he won or lost a battle, and he was promoted from the school captain to the former general soon.

But even if Dong Zhuo is now a former general, Dong Zhuo is still not satisfied. He thinks that he should have become a former general with his own merits, and he still has to spend his own money to buy it.

Do I, Dong Zhuo, lack talent or merit?I have fought bloody battles in Xiliang for 30 years, can't I be worth a former general!

Dong Zhuo always believed that the court had treated him badly, so he stayed around Luoyang City all the time, just to see if there was a chance to go further, he didn't want to just go back to Xiliang

After Li Ru understood Dong Zhuo's thoughts, he said with a smile: "Then the general will go to Luoyang even more. Given the current situation in Luoyang City, there are nothing more than three results. General He Jin and Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, which one makes them want a general to help control the military power in Luoyang City, the general may have the opportunity to become a Taiwei just like Taiwei Duan!"

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this!
But Li Rudao: "But this possibility is only one in ten thousand!"

Li Ru continued: "The greatest possibility is that the general and Taifu jointly killed Zhang Rang and the others, but at this time the general has all the power, and even if the Taifu is powerful, it is impossible for the Taifu to fight against the military power of the general. At this time, the Taifu I just want you, General, to frighten the General! Now the Taifu didn’t think of this, but sooner or later he will understand that if the nobles want to control Luoyang, the General’s help is indispensable!"

Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard it. It is true that He Jin now controls the northern and southern armies and the Xiyuan Army. The military power of the entire Luoyang City is in the hands of He Jin. Yuan Kai wants to fight He Jin. The 6 troops in his hand are the most important chips. !
"There is another situation where the general and Taifu won, but Zhang asked them to assassinate some of them or all of them were assassinated. At this time, Luoyang City is in chaos. This is your chance, general. The whole big man except Huangfusong, general It is the first person among the generals, who can take the opportunity to control the military power of Luoyang City and replace the position of the general!

Becoming a general was something Dong Zhuo never thought about. After all, in Dahan, the general has become the exclusive position of his relatives.

But after listening to Li Ru's words, it seems that the chaos in Luoyang City this time is the only chance for him to enter the throne of power of the great man!

Dong Zhuo said excitedly: "From this point of view, the chaos in Luoyang City has given me such an excellent opportunity, a chance to eradicate the eunuchs and serve the country. I have long thought that the princes of Luoyang are not pleasing to the eye. If the old man is in charge of the government, Luoyang will definitely be stabilized , the country is peaceful, and let the whole Han Dynasty prosper again!"

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes, Dong Zhuo and the others stood up immediately, and saw Xu Wei galloping towards here with hundreds of cavalry not far away.

After approaching the pavilion, Xu Wei got off his horse and said with a smile, "It's a crime to keep General Dong waiting for so long!"

Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and said, "Qu Shuai is too polite, the old man didn't wait long!"

Then the two entered the pavilion, and the host and guest sat separately.

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "Shuai Qu, let's chat while eating!"

Xu Wei didn't even think that the small pavilion was filled with a table of wine and food.

Xu Wei said happily: "Then I will not be polite!"

Xu Wei was really rude, he took a fat elbow as soon as he came up, and then started to eat.

When Xu Wei came to this world, his physical fitness became stronger, and his appetite also increased. But now the whole Bingzhou lacks food, and he even set an example. There are only 7 buckets of wheat per month, which is only enough for Xu Wei to eat three-thirds.

Now he has to find a way to get some food every day, and even practiced the unique skill of flying stones, pointing at that and hitting that within 10 steps!At the same time, my girlfriend Zhang Ning helped me a little, and I managed to resist it!

And now Dong Zhuo invited Xu Wei to have a big meal, what a surprise!
Xu Wei ate up the entire table under the surprised gazes of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru!
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked at each other. They knew that Lei Gong set up a food stamp system for everyone in Bingzhou in order not to starve to death in Bingzhou, and judging from what they got, there was indeed no large-scale starvation in Bingzhou. , They wondered how it was possible for the Tengjia Army to control the grain of the entire Bingzhou.

But he didn't expect Xu Wei to be so hungry. He seemed to understand a little bit. Lei Gong has set an example like this, and the people below are even more afraid to mess around!

After eating, Xu Wei was also a little embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, I ate all of General Dong's food!"

Dong Zhuo said indifferently: "My old Dong can still afford to invite friends to eat this order!"

Then Dong Zhuo said, "I don't know why Qu Shuai came to see me this time, old Dong?"

Xu Wei said unceremoniously: "Old Dong, you know me. I have always been a person who does not offend me and I will not offend others, but Huangfusong is too insignificant. When he first came to Jizhou, he kept making small moves. 10 troops were stationed in On the side of the Taihang Mountain, they either built a fortress, or burned, killed and looted on the Taihang Mountain, isn't that a slap in the face of my Lei Gong?"

Dong Zhuo froze, if you don't offend me, I won't offend you, so why is my Taiyuan County so lost?
Li Ru on the side smiled and said, "Shuai Qu, although you and our general are friends, we belong to the enemy after all. You don't want my general to help you attack Huangfusong, do you?"

Xu Wei said with a vulgar face: "Isn't that right? I didn't intend to hit the main force to teach Huangfusong a lesson, but your old Dong's 6 army is in Shangdang County. How dare my army go out!"

Dong Zhuo laughed happily when he heard that Xu Wei was going to beat Huangfusong: "This old man has long disliked Huangfusong, Qushuai, if you want to beat him, I absolutely support it!"

Xu Wei said: "Old Dong, you just cut off Zhang Yan's retreat, how dare I put the retreat in front of you, Old Dong, it's not that I don't believe you, Old Dong, it's just that the hundreds of thousands of troops are in danger, I have to think about it !"

Li Rudao: "But the imperial court ordered my general to lead troops to station in Shangdang County just to guard against Commander Qu. We can't give up our duties just because of Commander Qu's words!"

Xu Wei smiled and said: "How could I make such a request that makes it difficult for you, old Dong? Didn't Lingdi die recently? Luoyang City is in chaos, and everyone is fighting for power. Shit, he is just a butcher who started his career with his younger sister. He dares to become a general if he has any talent. In my old Lei's opinion, the whole big man, that is, you, old Dong, is qualified to be a general!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed and said, "As expected of Lei Gong who runs across the entire north, he just has vision. It's not my old Dong bragging. Among the generals in the Han Dynasty, there is one general who is better at fighting than my old Dong!"

Xu Wei continued to flatter: "If Luoyang City were you, old Dong, in charge, I wouldn't have rebelled. In my opinion, Luoyang City is just a bunch of rats. Only you, Dong Zhuo, can support the Han Dynasty! In this way, old Dong, you lead the army Entering Luoyang City, I will lead my troops to fight Huangfusong with peace of mind!"

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also looked at each other.

Dong Zhuo wanted to say something, but Li Ru stopped him and said, "Commander Qu has hundreds of thousands of troops in front of us. If we lead our troops away, Commander Qu's army of hundreds of thousands will attack our Shangdang County. Isn't this Shangdang County If Qu Shuai breaks it, won't my general be blamed by the court!"

But Xu Wei said: "What is there to fight in a poor mountain valley in Shangdang? If I want to fight, I will also fight in the rich Jizhou! In this way, old Dong, if you are worried that I will repent, I will buy you another [-] sets of ceramic armor to enhance your combat effectiveness. , you won't worry about it anymore!"

The temptation of ceramic armor made Dong Zhuo excited. He thought for a while and said: "I don't want your 1 sets of ceramic armor. If you give me another 2000 sets of vests from last time, I will take 3 troops to Luoyang City. No matter what you The matter with Huangfusong!"

From Dong Zhuo's point of view, 3 troops are enough to hold Shangdang County, and he was about to go to Luoyang City. It would be a fortune to get another 2000 vests!
Xu Wei said with a smile: "I know that General Dong seized a large amount of grain last time. I will count it as 500 shi grain for you, old Dong, for such a set of vests, and 2000 sets are 100 million shi grain!"

Dong Zhuo thought of Xu Wei's embarrassment just now, and knew that the rattan armor army was short of food, so he said, "Now that the price of food is soaring, I want you to add 200 more pieces of ceramic armor to each set of armor!"

Xu Wei smiled and said, "This is equivalent to me taking out 2000 more ceramic armors!"

But Xu Qiang said proudly: "This time you, old Dong, are going to Luoyang City, the extra ceramic armor is considered to be my old Lei's support for you!"

The two agreed in this way.

Li Ru looked at Xu Wei who was going away and said worriedly: "General, do you imagine Lei Gong's words?"

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, we are all going to Luoyang City anyway, even if Lei Gong wants to attack Shangdang County, Huangfusong is the one to worry about, anyway, I won't be staying in Shangdang County after this time."

"There is one thing that Lei Gong said is right. The Luoyang princes are just a group of rats. They can control the power of the court. Why can't I, Dong Zhuo! This time I went to Luoyang City, and the old man is not back. Looking at Huangfusong's actions, at most He and Lei Gong will fight in 2-3 years, I don’t want to be implicated by them, now we have 2000 more sets of ceramic vests to enhance our strength, this is the most important thing!”

Dong Zhuo's ambition was completely inspired by Xu Wei. He hurried to Luoyang City, and the two sides quickly completed the deal on the border!
Then Dong Zhuo marched towards Luoyang City with his 3 troops!
And at the same time!

He Jinmo couldn't resist the persuasion of Yuan Shao's counselors, and together with the Taifu Yuan Wei and the ministers of the Jiuqing, they played at the same time, admonishing the emperor and the queen mother not to defy public opinion and protect the eunuchs.Originally, He Jin meant it, but he didn't expect Yuan Kai and the others to push He Jin to the forefront, as if He Jin joined forces with them to get rid of the eunuchs.

Empress Dowager He got angry, and she scolded Yuan Wei in front of all civil and military officials, saying: "Zhang Rang, they are all the servants of the late emperor, and you are going to kill the late emperor's people before the bones of the late emperor are cold, is this the reason for you to be ministers! What do you mean by jointly writing a letter? Is this trying to force the palace? The bones of the first emperor are not cold, and you bully our orphans and widows like this. Are you also my loyal servants of the big man! "

Empress Dowager He scolded Yuan Kai speechlessly and was in a panic.

And He Jin hid aside and laughed.

Yuan Manor, all the masters are gathered here!

He Yong said: "From today's situation, it can be seen that the general does not want to continue to eliminate the eunuch party. After all, the general now has a heavy army. In order to avoid intensifying the conflict, Zhang Rang will definitely try his best to show favor to the general. , and even seek refuge with the general. But we don’t have to, Zhang Rang and the others will definitely recruit the general to deal with us.”

Cui Lie said helplessly: "Now the general wants soldiers and power, he has achieved all his goals, so naturally he doesn't want to kill the eunuchs. It can be seen from this morning that he has been watching our jokes, Originally, they had to move faster, so as not to intensify the conflict between the eunuchs and the general, but they might have to waste all their previous efforts!"

Ma Rixun said helplessly, "The general and Zhang have involved them too deeply. Whether it is the queen mother or the queen mother's mother, Lord Wuyang, they are all defending the eunuch party. It can even be said that the general is in the same group as the eunuch party. You supported the wrong person, if you supported Dong Zhong, you wouldn’t be in the current situation!”

He Yong said in a cold voice: "Dong Zhong is still exchanging with the eunuch Jian Shuo. The relatives and the eunuchs are originally a group. Even if we get rid of Zhang Rang today, but with the presence of the queen mother and the general, the eunuchs will still be there." Rise, I think it’s a one-step process, and get rid of the He family together, so that we can wipe out the roots! There are no relatives and eunuchs in the imperial court, so naturally our gentry are the masters!”

Ma Rixun was surprised and said: "I beg you to be crazy, can the He family be able to eradicate the roots? You are deceiving the emperor!"

Others also looked at He Yong with a look of shock. At most, they thought of killing the general.But I really dare not think about killing the Queen Mother!But when they came back to their senses, they felt that there was nothing wrong. If the Queen Mother was still in power, the eunuchs would definitely rise up. They didn't say they wanted to kill the Queen Mother, but it seemed good to force the Queen Mother back to the palace and let them take over the power of the court.

Yuan Kai said at this time: "The main thing we are discussing now is the removal of eunuchs. There is no need to discuss the words of no king and no father."

"Dong Zhuo has already led his troops into Hanoi County, and he will soon be approaching the Yellow River. Then the general will know that we don't have the means to counter him!"

"Dong Zhuo really brought troops to Luoyang?" Everyone exclaimed.

You must know that they don't like the foreign army. The Dou Wu uprising was suppressed by the foreign army led by Zhang Huan, and their military discipline was also very poor. They committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting. Grab your own hometown.

"A little carelessness in this matter will be a disaster for the soldiers, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Wen said worriedly, "You have never seen the military discipline of the Xiliang Army. It can be said that it is a chaotic army. The whole man is Dong Zhuo. We can control them, even Dong Zhuo can't control them when they become chaotic, we can't let such an army enter Luoyang City!"

Yuan Kai said calmly: "The old man just let Dong Zhuo get closer to Luoyang City, and won't really let Dong Zhuo enter. Moreover, we still have the Xiyuan Army in our hands. The captains of the Xiyuan Army are all our people, and the general is currently powerless to control it. We just need to let these lieutenants of the Xiyuan Military Academy speak up and ask the court to kill the eunuchs. Otherwise, we'll change someone to be the general! I think He Miao is pretty good!"

"Yes, yes, Hussar General He Miao, both civil and military, is the best candidate to be a general!" He Miao is He Jun's younger brother, and according to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, he is also qualified to be a general, but now Yuan Kai and the others don't see He Jin If you are obedient, I plan to make He Miao the general's backup tire!
On the second day when Yuan Kui was scolded by Queen Mother He.

The prefect of Hanoi said that the former general Dong Zhuo led his troops to leave Shangdang County and was marching towards Luoyang City with an army of 3. The whole Luoyang City shook.

Luoyang City is now under the tide, and a foreign army suddenly appears, which is not a good thing for all forces in Luoyang City.

He Jin thought that it was Zhang who asked them to mobilize Dong Zhuo to threaten him, and Zhang asked them to plan a surprise. He didn't expect that the previous move of idle chess would actually work now, and Zhang made them think that Dong Zhuo was here to save them.

But what Zhang Rang and the others never expected was that after Dong Zhuo's army entered Hanoi County, they posted notices all over the city of Luoyang.

"Zhongchang servant Zhang Rang and others took advantage of the opportunity of being favored by the emperor to disturb the world. I have heard that it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling. It is better to draw the bottom of the pot. Although the sores and carbuncles are painful, they are better than eroding the viscera inward. In the past, Zhao Yang led the Jin Dynasty. Yang’s army came to eliminate the evil people around the king, and now I am ringing the bell and drum to come to Luoyang, requesting the arrest of Zhang Rang and others, so as to eliminate the villains!”

Dong Zhuo played the banner of punishing the eunuchs on the side of the Qing emperor, which made Zhang let them die, and Dong Zhuo turned his back on them and stabbed them in the back!

At the same time, the school lieutenants stationed at the Eight Passes of Luoyang City also began to respond to Dong Zhuo's call, and they all reported to the court asking the court to kill Zhang Rang and others!

He Jin was also surprised to find that Dong Zhuo belonged to Yuan Kai and the others, and Yuan Kai was threatening him to get rid of Zhang Rang and others as soon as possible!

At this time, officials from all over the country hunted and killed the relatives of Zhongguan in the name of General He Jin, and the power of eunuchs in the entire Central Plains was wiped out.

At the same time, the entire Henan Yin officials were hunting and killing middle officials, as long as they were related to eunuchs, they were included in the killing list.Only Zhang Rang and others who were hiding in Luoyang City escaped unharmed.

Zhang made them dumbfounded by this clearing operation. They didn't expect that He Jin would pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and he would attack them so hard. This is the rhythm of killing them all!

Zhang Rang's daughter-in-law is the younger sister of the Empress Dowager He, and Zhang asked her to find the Empress Dowager He to intercede: "I have committed a crime now, and the whole family should return to my hometown. Thinking that my family has been favored by the emperor for several generations, and now I have to stay away from the palace, I feel reluctant to part. I wish Serve the Empress Dowager one more time, be able to see the Empress Dowager for a while, learn her color, and then retreat to the ravine, and die without any regrets!"

Empress Dowager He's younger sister brought the words of Zhang Rang and others.

And Empress Dowager He is also guilty of Zhang Rang and others' current experience. After all, although Zhang Rang and the others are corrupt, they are really good to her, the Queen Mother, but now his eldest brother has killed Zhang Rang and their family members. Yes, many of them are even their relatives.So Empress Dowager He placed Zhang Rang and others in Changle Palace for protection.

He entered Changle Palace to see his sister, and asked to kill Zhang Rang and others.

He Jin is also helpless!Yuan Shao and the others pretended to be their own orders and killed all of Zhang Rang's relatives and friends. It can be said that the two sides have already had a deep hatred, and He Jin can only cut the grass and roots in advance!

It's just that He Jin didn't expect Zhang Rang and others to be on the sidelines. They were furious when they heard that He Jin was going to kill them all, thinking that He Jin did all of this!
