Beast King Three Kingdoms

() Hearing Li Ruzhi's words, Dong Zhuo frowned, his face trembling, and asked: "Isn't the Northern Army already under the control of those courtiers and aristocratic families? We are not strong enough, how can we seize it?"

"Although the big family has a lot of money and food, most of them are stingy people. With the addition of corruption and bribery, the army can hardly get money, food and grass. If the army is not attached, how can we talk about control?" Li Ru said disdainfully.

"That's right!" Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "In this case, I will order people to recruit the soldiers of the Northern Army and tell them that I never treat my subordinates badly."

Dong Zhuo may be brutal and bloodthirsty, but he does one thing well, that is, he treats his soldiers extremely generously, otherwise he would not have such great prestige in Xiliang.

After ordering everything, Dong Zhuo walked into the inner hall with his fat body on his back to rest.

Li Ru walked out of the hall, with a strange smile on his face, and thought in his heart: "Tomorrow will definitely be wonderful."

In the early morning of the next day, a group of troops suddenly appeared in the west of Luoyang City. After inquiring, they found out that they were the follow-up army under Dong Zhuo's command.

Wherever the gate guard dared to stop him, he hurriedly let him go.

The army marched into Luoyang mightily, with drums shaking the sky and flags flying, as if there were thousands of troops and horses.

Yuan Kai and other courtiers were planning to attack Dong Zhuo in today's court meeting. Seeing such a posture, their hearts were broken.

Shocking the court officials, Dong Zhuo began to quicken his pace and gather the Northern Army.

After several times of coercion and temptation, Dong Zhuo finally surrendered He Jin's old army as he wished, and his military strength instantly swelled to tens of thousands. In addition to the imminent arrival of the Xiliang army, Dong Zhuo suddenly lost his scruples and became unscrupulous.

Although Dong Zhuo had basically controlled Luoyang at this time, his background was not good and his prestige was insufficient, so he urgently needed to do something big to establish his own authority.

Recalling that when he rescued him that day, Chen Liuwang Liu Xie performed outstandingly, advancing and retreating with discretion, but Liu Bian, who was the emperor, was submissive and had no imperial spirit. Dong Zhuo suddenly had a thought.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo summoned Li Ru to ask, "I want to abolish the emperor and establish King Chenliu, how about it?"

What kind of person is Li Ru, once he heard Dong Zhuo's words, he understood what he meant, pondered for a while and said: "Now that the imperial court has no master, if father-in-law really wants to abolish the establishment, he should do it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes! You can come to Wenming Garden in the coming day During the meeting, all the officials were summoned to discuss the matter of abolishing Li, and those who disobeyed would be executed! In this way, the father-in-law can use the abolition of Li to confirm his authority in the court!"

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay! It's up to you!"

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "In that case, my son-in-law will go and deliver the invitation to all the ministers."

"En! Go!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, ignored Li Ru, and turned back to the inner hall.

After a while, there were bursts of low-pitched roars in the inner hall, mixed with a little panting.

……

For the banquet in Wenmingyuan, almost all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were present, and even some aristocratic families sent representatives to come.

Just kidding, the current Luoyang 'head' Dong Huo wants you to come, do you dare to try?

After a while, everyone arrived one after another, greeted each other, and discussed in low voices the purpose of Dong Zhuo's banquet.

Suddenly, everyone silenced their voices, and all their eyes turned to one place.

I saw Dong Zhuo walking slowly with his overbearing steps while supporting his fat body.

Everyone rushed up to salute: "I have seen General Dong!"

"Excuse me!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, which seemed to be pointing the country.

Ignoring everyone, Dong Zhuo directly sat on the main seat, looked at the people below who were trembling, smiled cruelly, and said: "You wait to sit down! Do you want me to invite you to sit down?"

"Don't dare dare... The general is really serious." Everyone was terrified in their hearts, and they hurriedly searched for seats to sit down, and they didn't have the same demeanor as before.

Under Dong Zhuo's strong pressure, everyone drank the banquet tremblingly.

After several rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo suddenly ordered to stop the drinking, stood up and said, "I have something to say, please listen carefully!"

Everyone hurriedly put down their wine glasses, pretending to be respectful, and waited for Dong Zhuo to speak.

Dong Zhuo smiled triumphantly, and said: "The Son of Heaven is the Lord of the people, and he cannot honor the ancestral temple and the state without dignity. Your Majesty is weak today, not as smart and studious as King Chen Liu, and can inherit the throne. I want to abolish the Emperor and establish King Chen Liu. What do you think? how?"

As soon as the words fell, only one person stood up against the table and shouted: "No, who are you, dare to make such a big statement? The Son of Heaven is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he has made no mistakes in the first place, so how can he speak absurdly and abolish the establishment! You want to usurp it! ?”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, murderous aura overflowed from his whole body, and when he turned his eyes, it was Zhijinwu Dingyuan.

"Those who follow me will live, and those who oppose me will die!" Dong Zhuo said coldly, and immediately got up with his sword and wanted to chop Ding Yuan.

Li Ru on the side squinted his eyes and looked at the person behind Ding Yuan, only to see that he was born imposing and majestic, holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, and glared at Dong Zhuo.

A name flashed in his mind, Li Ru hurriedly got up to stop Dong Zhuo, and persuaded him: "This is a place for banquets, and you can't talk about state affairs; it's not too late to come to the capital to have a public opinion."

The banquet broke up unhappy.

On the way back, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru, "Why did you prevent me from killing Na Dingyuan today!"

Li Ru replied: "It's just Ding Yuan, it's all right for my father-in-law to kill himself, but the people behind him are extraordinary."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo asked curiously, "Who is so valued by a virtuous son-in-law?"

"Lv Bu!" Li Ru said in a deep voice, "Lv Bu's name is Fengxian, he is Ding Yuan's adopted son, with the courage of ghosts and gods. My son-in-law knew about this person at the time of the river east."

"Lu Bu?!" Dong Zhuo murmured.

……

In Taifu's residence, Yuan Kai and Yuan Shao were relatively silent.

After a long time, Yuan Kai sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo is just like what Gonglu said, he is a fierce tiger who chooses people and eats them."

Yuan Shao felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and said, "Uncle, why do you do this! How capable is Dong Zhuo? Today's proposal to abolish the establishment is not rejected by us!"

Yuan Kai looked at Yuan Shao full of disappointment, and said powerlessly, "Would it be us who dismissed today's proposal? If Ding Jianyang hadn't been here, I'm afraid we would have succumbed."

"Even if he succeeds in abolishing the establishment, so what? I still have to wait for the aristocratic family to govern the world." Yuan Shao was not convinced, especially in Yuan Kai's words, which seemed to be admiring Yuan Shu.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Kai felt cold in his heart.

"Can such a shallow person really support my Yuan family?" For the first time, Yuan Kai doubted his decision to establish Yuan Shao as the head of the family.

Yuan Kui lacked knowledge, and his resourcefulness was mediocre, but he had already reached the pinnacle of tactics after being immersed in the Yin family for many years. How could Yuan Kui not see the reason behind Dong Zhuo's abolition?

Similarly, Yuan Kai knew in his heart that if Dong Zhuo succeeded in abolishing the establishment, Luoyang would become his hall of speech, and the aristocratic family would lose control and influence over the court.

Yuan Shao couldn't see such a simple truth, which made Yuan Wei start to hesitate about electing Yuan Shao as the head of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao didn't know that Yuan Kai had already planned to give up on him, so he said to himself, "Uncle! Now that Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are at odds, and both of them have soldiers in their hands, a big battle is inevitable. Watch the tigers fight."

There is still some truth in these words, Yuan Kai nodded secretly.

"What I said at the beginning is true, we will not help each other, and we will wait and see who wins!" Yuan Kai said stroking his beard.

A smug look flashed on Yuan Shao's face.

Yuan Kai and Yuan Shao thought very well, but unfortunately things developed far beyond their expectations.

After Ding Yuan left the meeting, he went out of the city directly, gathered troops and horses on the whole, and sent troops directly to challenge Dong Zhuo the next day.

Dong Zhuo was furious. It happened that the Xiliang iron cavalry arrived last night and recovered after a night's rest.

Immediately, Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang iron cavalry to face Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan used to be the governor of Bingzhou, and he fought at the border for many years like Dong Zhuo. His army was strong, and he also had Lu Bu, the world's number one fierce general.

Sure enough, the two sides fought, relying on Lu Bu's bravery, Ding Yuan defeated Dong Zhuo.

The civil, military and aristocratic families of the Manchu Dynasty were overjoyed when they heard the news.

It's a pity that before they were happy, Dong Huhu sent Li Su, a famous "slobber man" under his command, with BMW gold and silver, to lobby Lu Bu that night.

As expected, in front of gold, silver, jewels, red rabbits, horses, and possible high-ranking officials in the future, Lu Bu, the hungry wolf, succumbed, cut off Ding Yuan's head, and happily defected to his new master.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed to see Lv Bu come to vote, he recognized Lv Bu as his adopted son on the spot, and bestowed him with golden armor and a brocade robe.

With Lu Bu joining, Dong Zhuo's strength expanded to the extreme, and Lu Bu recruited many Bingzhou soldiers, who were also accepted by Dong Zhuo with a smile, and hundreds of thousands of troops stood by.

Since then, Dong Zhuo's power has reached its peak.
