The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Just last night, when Hou Cheng slashed and killed Ding Yuan in front of everyone, the entire Bingzhou military camp was in chaos.Many Bingzhou troops who were still loyal to Ding Yuan launched an attack on Lu Bu and the others.But in terms of power, there are more people who want to follow Lu Bu now, and Wei Xu and others seem to have been prepared for a long time. Once the battle starts, their troops will quickly occupy a favorable position. Put down those armies that were only agitated in a moment of anger.

The turmoil started quickly and died down quickly.Therefore, although the Xiliang army did hear some movements, they did not have time to conduct further reconnaissance.Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Xiliang army will seize the opportunity of the internal chaos of the enemy army to send troops last night.

After the turmoil was quelled, Lu Bu had to consider a question, what should he do?Now that the army of Bingzhou is under his control, he can lead the army back to Bingzhou to become independent, thus occupying a place among the warlords in the world.But after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Bu dismissed this tempting idea.

Although Ding Yuan was not actually killed by Lu Bu, Hou Cheng was his subordinate. Since Hou Cheng killed Ding Yuan, the blame still has to be recorded on his head.Moreover, he had severed his friendship with Ding Yuan just now, so the suspicion was naturally even greater.This will inevitably lead to suspicion of him within the Bingzhou Army, which will make it difficult for the army to do anything.Moreover, other people far away in Bingzhou may not be convinced by Lu Bu. If he brings people back like this, it will be unpredictable.

But taking this opportunity to defect to the Xiliang Army will not have so many problems.Although this made Lu Bu still have to be inferior to others, he also believed that with his own ability, he would one day stand out.Moreover, after taking this Bingzhou Army with him, he has a high status in the Xiliang Army, so he can be regarded as a good home.

So after thinking about it all night, Lu Bu made up his mind, and led the crowd to surrender after dawn, and at the same time offered Ding Yuan's head first.If Ding Yuan hadn't cleared the way, the Xiliang army would have regarded them as enemies who took the initiative to attack.

Dong Zhuo looked at this familiar head in disbelief, and after examining it repeatedly, he was finally convinced that it was Ding Yuan without a doubt.This time, the Xiliang army was convinced that Lu Bu had truly surrendered. This encouraged all the soldiers, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the victory and defeat of the two sides have been divided, the damage will not be small if you continue to fight. It's always a good thing to end a battle like this.

"Open the gate, I want to welcome General Lu into the camp in person!" After confirming the other party's sincerity, Dong Zhuo immediately made a decision. He really wanted to accept Lu Bu who had caused a lot of trouble to his army. own use.

With the sound of the drums, the gate of the Xiliang army camp opened wide, and immediately Dong Zhuo came out accompanied by all the generals, and strode up to Lu Bu who was half kneeling on the ground, waiting for the Xiliang army to speak, and supported him He got up: "General Lu can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and be loyal to the imperial court. It is really a great fortune for me in the world."

"Lv Bu is ashamed. He dared to lead an army against Dong Gong before, and asked Dong Gong to punish him!" Lu Bu quickly admitted his guilt, which is also the attitude that a defector should have.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly laughed, took Lv Bu's hand and walked towards the village, and at the same time said: "The general was just deceived by others, what he did was not voluntary, how can I, Dong Zhuo, blame you? Now you are willing to send the traitor The offering of the head of the thief Ding Yuan is enough to prove that you have repented of your past mistakes, so I should report everything to the court and give you a reward..."

Soon, the Xiliang Army completely incorporated the Bingzhou Army. In this regard, Dong Zhuo's army, which was still a little weak and suffered a lot of casualties due to several battles, not only did not reduce its power, but strengthened it a lot.And with the defeat of the Bingzhou Army, Dong Zhuo, who returned to Luoyang, naturally no one dared to be an enemy.

Originally, when Dong Zhuo sent troops to Luoyang and did all kinds of indecent and presumptuous things, the warlords all over the world were still dissatisfied, and some even wanted to send troops to serve the king.But because of the lack of a leader, everyone endured it.And after Bingzhou Ding Yuan openly used troops against Dong Zhuo, these people were ready to move again.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, Ding Yuan, who was so powerful before, was defeated, and even his own head was taken off and hung on the head of Luoyang City. This gave an obvious warning to other warlords everywhere, making them Don't dare to act hastily anymore, after all, Dong Zhuo now holds the emperor in his hands, and the name of righteousness is also on his side.It's fine if you win by sending troops to attack, but once you lose, you will be ruined and die without a place to die.

Because of such concerns, in the next period of time, no one in the world would dare to openly be an enemy of Dong Zhuo. At this moment, everyone seems to have turned a blind eye to the various changes in Luoyang...

After returning to Luoyang with a complete victory over the Bingzhou Army, Dong Zhuo's ambitions were completely exposed.He was no longer restrained as before, and began to continuously seize the power of the court.Those court officials who dared to argue with him before were all dismissed by Dong Zhuo for various reasons, and even thrown into prison.

After rectifying a group of officials, Dong Zhuo's eyes fell on the Queen Mother again.The emperor's mother still had a lot of obstacles for him to continue exercising power on behalf of the emperor, so on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Dong Zhuo borrowed the emperor's edict to invite the queen mother He, who did not dare to express anything at all, out of the discussion The main hall completely cut off the possibility of her participating in major political affairs.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's behavior, although the officials in Luoyang city were very dissatisfied, they felt helpless. Now that their lives were in Dong Zhuo's hands, how could they dare to be his enemy?

But this is just Dong Zhuo's attempt to further realize his ambitions. Soon, he will challenge an even more unacceptable task - establishing a new emperor!He took a fancy to Liu Xie, king of Chenliu, and felt that the younger brother of today's emperor was more suitable to be the nominal master of the country, and this would be implemented after he gained more power and allowed more people loyal to him to occupy high positions.

?????

When Dong Zhuo started to make these plans, Ma Yue, one of his trusted advisers, seldom advised him, and instead associated with some middle and low-level generals in the Xiliang Army, thus gaining their favor .

Ma Yue knew very well that Dong Zhuo was playing with fire, and those who played with fire would eventually set themselves on fire. Although the Han court is weak, it has not yet reached the point where the wall is overthrown by everyone.What's more, he knows better how the world will change in the future, so before Dong Zhuo starts to act against it, he should try his best to get involved in such things that arouse the resentment and dissatisfaction of the world.

So when Dong Zhuo mentioned several times in front of them that he wanted to abolish the emperor and establish another, Ma Yue, who had always been able to advise Dong Zhuo, stopped offering any suggestions or opinions.He knew very well that this matter was no small matter.If Dong Zhuo was given an idea, he would not be able to get rid of the crime of helping the emperor in the future, and if he openly opposed Dong Zhuo's actions at this time, it would probably lead to death.So just watching and not talking is the most sensible way to protect yourself.

Time passed like this little by little, and when Dong Zhuo's perception in the eyes of the ruling and wild people changed day by day, Ma Yue's position in the Xiliang army was quietly rising.He always shared some money, cloth, silk, wine and meat that Dong Zhuo had bestowed on him every day with all the soldiers, and sometimes even ate and drank with them, not treating them as inferior people at all.

In addition, every three to five days, Ma Yue would call some low-level generals above the head of the village to his residence and explain to them some common sense of the art of war. This has indeed won the gratitude of many people. Unknowingly, Ma Yue's influence had quietly spread among the lower ranks of the Xiliang Army.

In addition to communicating with ordinary soldiers, Ma Yue also communicated with a large number of scholars in Luoyang City.These people were all unable to become officials, but wanted to try their luck in Luoyang. Ma Yue kept in touch with these people in order to find some talents who could help him achieve great things in the world in the future.

But it's a pity that whether it's Ma Yue's lack of foresight, or the truly talented and learned people have been snatched up by others, in the past ten days, Ma Yue has never found a talented and learned person who really satisfied him.

Soon, the time turned from August to September, and the weather gradually became colder.But the situation in the imperial court was even more unoptimistic. Dong Zhuo's power became more and more powerful, and almost all major affairs in the court were decided by Dong Zhuo with one word.And as his power expanded, those Xiliang troops finally showed their other side, and began to harass the people in the city.

However, what these sergeants did was all done under the acquiescence of Dong Zhuo and the generals. After all, Dong Zhuo wanted to reward his troops after he had taken control of the government, so the people in Luoyang City should treat them as rewards for the army. .

Regarding this, although Ma Yue was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to help some people as much as possible by relying on his reputation in the army.And this day, when Ma Yue came out of his residence and wanted to look around, he saw four or five acts of Liangzhou soldiers oppressing the people along the way, which made Wang Feng and others who followed him a little bit can not watch anymore.

"My lord, I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to indulge his subordinates so much. If this continues, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."

Ma Yue smiled wryly and said: "There is no way to do this. In the hearts of these Xiliang soldiers, they always regard themselves as guests, and they only want to grab a ticket in Luoyang City, so that they will have a good day when they return to Liangzhou." So it is almost impossible to prevent them from doing illegal things.”

Just as Ma Yue was explaining the actions of the soldiers in Liangzhou from a psychological perspective, someone suddenly yelled not far away: "You must not be rude, the people in this car are Wang Situ's family members..."
