The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 438 The Empress Dowager's Decree
Soon.

Jia Xu, Huang Zhong and others were summoned to discuss matters in Chen Ran's mansion.

Jia Xu took a deep look at Chen Ran, and said with a lot of meaning, "My lord, is this here for the affairs of Luoyang?"

Chen Ran nodded without hesitation. Only ordinary people may not know about this matter. If someone has a little heart, I am afraid that even many inside stories are known at this moment.

Chen Ran sternly said: "Before fighting with foreign tribes and crusading against rebels, Dong Zhuo seemed loyal, but in fact he was hiding such evil intentions. He really knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart!"

Chen Ran was also talking nonsense with his eyes open. For Dong Zhuo's matter, he had expected it long ago, and he had even been preparing for it.At this moment, it's just acting normal.

Jia Xu also nodded and said, "Dong Zhuo attacked Luoyang with a frenzied heart, and he will definitely be punished by the world."

Chen Ran nodded lightly, and said with a little thought: "Today I summoned you and others to discuss this matter. Now that Dong Zhuo has done such a rebellious thing, how should we react?"

In fact, these people are all Chen Ran's confidantes, and they are very clear about Chen Ran's thoughts.As far as the three of them are concerned, they all know about Liu Xie's affairs, so they are very clear about Chen Ran's choice.

Zhang Zhao paused, looked at Chen Ran, and said solemnly: "My lord is the champion, general of hussars, and shepherd of Yangzhou, who was conferred by the late emperor. Naturally, everyone knows his loyalty to the big man. The subordinates think that the lord Take the lead in raising the flag of rebellion, and call on capable and righteous people from all over the world to attack Dong Zhuo with a large army."

Chen Ran nodded, but did not speak.It is inevitable to unite against Dong Zhuo, but the time has not yet come. To conquer Dong Zhuo, he still needs an opportunity. In other words, to some extent, his appeal may not be enough.

Jia Xu has always been good at perceiving people's hearts. Seeing Chen Ran like this, he already knew what Chen Ran was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Dong Zhuo is powerful in today's world, and the power of a family may be hard to match. It is inevitable to call on the heroes. However, this matter cannot be used in the name of the lord."

Chen Ran relaxed a little, Jia Xu obviously saw through his thoughts.He replied: "What Wen He said is good, what do you think will happen next?"

"Dong Zhuo attacked Luoyang City and hijacked His Majesty and Empress Dowager. Such a treasonous thing, naturally he wanted to start an incident in the name of a big man." Jia Xu said calmly.

Zhang Zhao was a little surprised. Could it be that Liu Xie's hole card is going to be used now?If according to his plan, it is absolutely impossible for Liu Xie to play bombs like this until the critical moment.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "My subordinates estimate that my lord need not worry about it. After waiting for a while, news will come. If the world's major events are not ordered by the royal family, how can they be unified?"

Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction. If it is said that Jia Xu is the best in terms of making suggestions, his ideas can often coincide with him, and he is even better than him in many cases.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was a little dazed at first, but now he reacted immediately.With the current prestige of the lord, I am afraid that someone will come to the door without making a sound.

If I am not mistaken, it may even be the will of Emperor Shao and even Queen Mother He.After all, they were not directly captured by Dong Zhuo, and they probably had time to make these preparations.

If there is their will, everything will appear to be justified.The crusade against Dong Zhuo is inevitable, but such a crusade cannot lack fame.

Chen Ran smiled and said: "Forget it, I won't talk about this matter for now, let's watch it for a while, but now the battle is ready to go, and I made preparations in the morning."

Chen Ran looked at Zhang Zhao with piercing eyes, and said: "During the great war, military rations and weapons are indispensable. Zibu is in charge of internal affairs. He should prepare for the dispatch and wait for the day when the army goes out without any delay."

Chen Ran spoke seriously, Zhang Zhao quickly cupped his hands, and replied: "Your subordinate obeys."

Chen Ran nodded, looked at Huang Zhong again, and said, "As for the military affairs, Han Sheng is still in charge. The army training should not be slackened. Be prepared at all times. Is there any problem?"

Huang Zhong shook his head solemnly, and then said quite seriously: "My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will live up to their trust."

Chen Ran said flatly: "This matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes. If I have not miscalculated, I am afraid that not only I am planning Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo is also planning on me."

Jia Xu also agreed, "It's only natural. With my lord's prestige in the Han Dynasty, although it is a sharp weapon for my lord, it is also a powerful obstacle for Dong Zhuo. He must want to solve my lord once and for all."

Chen Ran's eyes sank, and he said solemnly: "Besides, we can know from the news that Dong Zhuo's strength is unusually strong. Before that, an army of [-] attacked Luoyang City."

"However, according to the news from the spies, many troops were transferred to Luoyang City one after another. If you calculate carefully, there may be more than 20. Although not all of them are elite cavalry, they should not be underestimated. .” Chen Ran was still a little startled at the moment.

He was not afraid because of this, but because Dong Zhuo had accumulated such a powerful strength without making a sound, it was really too creepy.

When we were attacking Bianzhang and the foreign tribes before, seeing Dong Zhuo's subordinates was still very shabby, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo was planning a long time ago, it's really shocking!
At the same time, Chen Ran couldn't help but recall the conversation between him and Emperor Ling, and there might be a force secretly promoting it afterwards.Chen Ran wondered, maybe this has something to do with Dong Zhuo?
However, there was still no answer to this matter, Chen Ran just pondered for a while, but stopped talking.

Jia Xu and the others retreated separately, and started to do things according to their own duties.

From the conversation with Chen Ran, they also sensed the urgency of the matter.

Today's Yangzhou still maintains an army of [-] troops.The number of the army has not changed much, but after a long period of training, the quality has improved significantly.

As for the water army, the changes are not small. Chen Ran expanded the water army to 2 people because he took advantage of Yangzhou's local advantages.

And Chen Ran didn't limit himself to this. In the past three years, the biggest change in strength was the navy, which was carefully prepared by Chen Ran.

The most powerful treasure ship is equipped with the same sophisticated weapons and equipment.They have the ability to gallop, and can run from the ocean to various places along the coast. Although they have no real experience in actual combat, they can also see his strength in daily training.

The captain of the navy is still Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai has also been promoted to deputy commander at this moment.For example, Zhou Cang belongs to Huang Zhong's command, and his status will naturally not be lower than that.

And the two chief admirals of the navy were talents recruited by Chen Ran in the past three years, one was Gan Ning and the other was Jiang Qin.Both of them were famous generals of Soochow Wu, but Gan Ning was even more famous.

Both of them admired Chen Ran's prestige and came to join him.After Chen Ran ordered them to participate in the bandit suppression several times, he made an exception and promoted them to be the chief admirals of the navy.

But at that time, the navy was only a few thousand people. After two or three years, they seemed to have become the generals of an army of [-].

Knowing the history, Chen Ran naturally believed in the abilities of the two.This is also the reason why he resisted all opinions.

But now, Empress Dowager He's edict has finally been sent to Yangzhou after going through thousands of hardships.
