Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Seeing that Dong Zhuo still had the same face in the hall, Jia Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dong Zhuo's face softened a lot, and he laughed together, passing by a restaurant in the city, the two dismounted and entered, all the guests in the restaurant who had not finished their meal were dispersed by their followers, the shopkeeper of the restaurant stepped forward to reprimand Dong Zhuo. After seeing his face, he immediately turned into joy. Dong Zhuo and Jia Rong will attract much attention when he enters the city, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant will be remembered once.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant kept stalking behind them, Jia Rong said impatiently: "Bring me the best food and the best wine."

The shopkeeper leaned over to promise and left in a hurry. This is just a small restaurant. You can't see any high-ranking officials or dignitaries. It's just some people from the market who come to eat and drink. When I first saw Jia Rong, Dong Zhuo and such officials, I was naturally overjoyed.

The two chatted in the restaurant about the situation in the court. The biggest obstacle now is the military power in the hands of the aristocratic family and the army in the hands of He Miao. As long as these two things are balanced, there will be basically no difficulties. Both of them are well aware of today's situation.

Dong Zhuo said: "Leave He Miao to me, and the matter of the Xiyuan Army to Zhiyuan. I hope that next time in the court, none of the officials will dare to speak out, hahaha..."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Do your best."

"Are we a little anxious like this?" Jia Rong asked lightly, holding up the wine cup.

Dong Zhuo said: "But I'm in a hurry, it's still not the time to come, today the court made those rotten scholars laugh for nothing, I feel a little angry when I think about it, but since I have turned my face, there is no turning back, is it right? Do you regret it?"

Jia Rong laughed and said: "General, what you said is wrong. Those rotten scholars in the court want to cramp up when they see me. I am still waiting for the officials in the court to be submissive. These officials are pampered and respected in Luoyang. They only know how to cheat. Let them suffer a little bit."

Dong Zhuo understood and let out a hearty laugh.

After the two separated, Jia Rong immediately rushed to the military camp in the city. In this extraordinary period, being in the army is the safest, with [-] cavalry guards, and you can walk sideways in Luoyang City. Living in the Yingxiong Building is only for Jia Rong. It's a pretense to fight.

In the evening of that night, the closed gate of the General's Mansion opened a small crack, and a black shadow rushed out from it, heading straight for the military camp in the city.

"General Qi, there is a person who claims to be a lieutenant of the Northern Army and came to ask for an audience." The messenger walked into the house and knelt down on one knee to pay homage.

Dong Zhuo gave a faint "Oh", the five schools of the Northern Army, each of which is a high-ranking official with a rank of two thousand shi, is not so bad compared to himself, Bingzhou Mu, and is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Let him in."

After the cup of tea, a general arrived at the position of the Chinese army under the leadership of the messenger.

The general was also savvy, and when he saw Dong Zhuo, he bowed respectfully and said, "Wu Kuang, Captain of the Infantry, pays homage to Your Excellency." The Captain of the Infantry, as the name suggests, is in charge of the infantry.

Seeing that Wu Kuang was quite polite, Dong Zhuo nodded in satisfaction. Now he is at the foot of the emperor. Maybe a soldier guarding the city gate is a relative of some minister. A state shepherd must be careful when he comes here. It has been a long time since he saw him. Wu Kuang is such a sycophant, Dong Zhuo is in a good mood, who doesn't want to hear more good things.

"Say, why are you here?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Wu Kuang cupped his hands again and said: "The former general He Jin was known and used well by others, and he had a high prestige in the army. Unexpectedly, he was pictured by the eunuch in the palace. It is really a country's misfortune. Yuan Shao led his soldiers into the imperial palace and killed the eunuchs, this act won the hearts of the people."

Dong Zhuo continued to listen to Wu Kuang's ramblings patiently.

"After the death of his brother, He Miao, the chariot general, not only did not want to avenge his brother, but instead played and sang every night in the mansion. The humble official once suspected that the death of the former general had a great relationship with He Miao. The two brothers were at odds in Luoyang. It is not a new thing, after the death of the general, our generals repeatedly appealed to He Miao to lead the people to avenge the general, but He Miao not only refused, but also demoted several generals who appealed to him."

Wu Kuang cleared his throat and continued: "Finally, one night, I overheard the discussion of some maidservants in He Miao's mansion and understood the whole story. It turned out that He Miao, a traitor, had secretly cheated on the eunuch, which led to the death of the general. In the palace, after hearing this news, I couldn't sleep at night, and finally waited for the arrival of the general."

Wu Kuang bowed to the ground with tears in his eyes: "I hope the general can avenge the great general."

After Dong Zhuo heard what Wu Kuang said, his face showed a contemplative look. Based on Wu Kuang's words alone, it is difficult to determine that He Miao was the one who killed He Jin. After all, he heard what the maid in the mansion said. A small fuse is enough to affect the situation in Luoyang. If Dong Zhuo doesn't know how to grasp it, he would be really stupid.

He Miao repeatedly reprimanded him in the court, and Dong Zhuo had already secretly hated him in his heart.

It was also Wu Kuang who received He Jin's favor before he was alive, otherwise he would not have been in the position of one of the five schools of the Northern Army. After He Jin died, He Miao became a general, and Wu Kuang naturally belonged to him. However, He Miao was not used to Wu Kuang's behavior, so he suppressed him repeatedly, and Wu Kuang was not angry. After learning that Dong Zhuo and He Miao were at odds, he immediately came to show his loyalty. The dignified appearance has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wu Kuang expected that following Dong Zhuo would not be too bad, so he came to vote in the starry night.

"It's nonsense, the general is something you, a small captain, can criticize. If these words reach the general's ears, you will definitely die." Dong Zhuo said in a stern voice.

Wu Kuanghe had never been threatened like this before, he bowed to the ground immediately, not daring to say a word, sweat dripped from his forehead.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo secretly rejoiced, Wu Kuang's incompetence just showed that this person is easy to control, he can be used a little bit, and it will be easier to take over and He Miao's men and horses.

"However, the general has the kindness to promote me. I don't know why I can't die. This matter must be investigated, even if it is He Miao." Dong Zhuo said with a changed tone.

How could Wu Kuang fail to understand the meaning of Dong Zhuo's words, so he stood up and said, "What the general said is true, we must investigate carefully."

Dong Zhuo stared at Wu Kuang with piercing eyes and said, "How many soldiers and horses are there in He Miao's hands, where are they placed, and how many soldiers and horses are guarding He Mansion."

After some thought, Wu Kuanglue said: "He Miao has more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and they are placed in the school ground next to the Nangong Palace. There are about a thousand cavalry, well-equipped. There are no soldiers guarding He's house, only some family members. Class, about a thousand people."

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "You go back immediately and gather the soldiers who are loyal to you. I will also gather troops and gather in the He Mansion. In the army, we must publicize the fact that He Miao was killed by an eunuch for illicit affairs. After it is done, there will be a lot of rewards."

Wu Kuang showed joy when he heard the words, he cupped his fists and resigned.

After Wu Kuangyuan left, Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "He Miao, He Miao, it's time for you to die." Thinking of the Xiliang Army in the city, Dong Zhuo showed a faint smile and took over the soldiers of Commander He Miao. The strength of the army will increase in a short period of time. By then, the Xiliang army will not have to act on its own face, that is, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.

In order to ensure everything was safe, Dong Zhuo ordered [-] elite cavalry from Qi's army, and after half an hour, they marched in the direction of He Fu.

Thousands of soldiers had already gathered outside the gate of the He Mansion, and the leader was Wu Kuang. They all went to the He Mansion filled with righteous indignation, only waiting for the general's order.

Dong Zhuo walked in front and said loudly: "He Miao had an affair with the eunuch and killed the general, this crime should be punished."

Wu Kuang raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Put to death, punish to death."

More than 2000 soldiers shouted in unison, and the voice shook the sky. The servants of He's mansion had already heard the news and quickly passed it to He Miao, who had just returned to the mansion. At this time, He Miao was hosting a banquet in the mansion.

Now He Miao is a general and has the right to open a mansion alone, while He Miao is adhering to the good habits of the past and continuing to live a life of wine and meat.

After hearing the movement outside the gate of the mansion, He Miao suddenly panicked. The mansion was besieged, and his first thought was to run away. When he heard that Dong Zhuo was leading the army, He Miao lost his mind and said immediately: " Dong Zhuo is a traitor, so what should you do in your opinion?"

A group of staff in the General's Mansion usually drank and sauntered, but when something happened, they all lost their minds and looked pale. Many officials even pointed in the direction of the door, looking like they would run away.

He Miao said angrily: "A bunch of trash, what are you doing raising you, but at the critical moment, you're all dumb."

Many officials at the banquet were dissatisfied with He Miao, and an aide came forward confidently and said, "Don't worry, general, today is the general's nephew, forgive Dong Zhuo'an for daring to break into the general's mansion, let alone the general's hands There are tens of thousands of southern troops, so why be afraid of a little Dong Zhuo."

He Miao was relieved when he heard the words, and said happily, "Very good, very good, send someone to the palace immediately to inform the Holy Majesty that Dong Zhuo led the soldiers to surround the General's Mansion, and send another person to the Southern Army to mobilize troops. Kill all the thieves."

The officials at the banquet said in unison: "The general is wise."

He Miao picked up the wine cup and laughed loudly: "Wait a minute how Dong Zhuo, an ignorant martial artist, begged for mercy. He wanted to be tyrannical in the capital. This is no place. Even a tiger has to lie down for me."

Everyone at the table responded one after another, and many officials even figured out how to deal with Dong Zhuo.

After about a cup of tea, the manager of the mansion broke into the room where He Miao was staying, and said loudly, "It's not good, it's not good."

He Miao said with a grim expression, "What's wrong, you're in such a panic, what's the matter?"

The chief manager of the mansion ignored He Miao's reproach, and said out of breath, "Dong Zhuo sent soldiers to surround the General's mansion, and now there are dense cavalry everywhere outside the gate, and the servant who was sent to report the letter just now was killed on the spot. die."
