The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 33 Luoyang Rebellion
The sixth year of Zhongping was not destined to be an ordinary year. Emperor Han Ling died of illness due to excessive indulgence, and the prince Liu Bian came to the throne, that is, the young emperor.Liu Bian was born to Emperor Ling and Empress He, but Emperor Ling died of illness, General He Jin became even more arrogant, and dissatisfied with Zhang Rang and others, so shortly after Emperor Shao came to the throne, he secretly summoned Xiliang Governor Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, led the troops into Luoyang, intending to conspire to kill Zhang Rang and other eunuchs.

In fact, besides killing Zhang Rang and others, He Jin also wanted to deal with Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo had many troops and was ambitious. He Jin was very afraid of him, so he wanted to seize Dong Zhuo's military power when he entered Luoyang, but Fearing that they would not be able to control Dong Zhuo's troops, they called Shang Bingzhou Ding Yuan to come together, in order to contain Dong Zhuo.

However, things often do not go according to plan. He Jin was not careful enough when he acted, and Zhang Rang and others found out, so Zhang Rang and other eunuchs took the lead before he could do anything, beheading He Jin under the sword.

Zhang Rang originally thought that He Jin would be able to control the government if he died, but he didn't know that Yuan Shao and others had already led troops into the palace to avenge He Jin. In the end, Zhang Rang and his eunuchs were killed by Yuan Shao and others.

However, the incident was far from over. Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan, who were secretly called into Luoyang by He Jin, arrived in Luoyang just after Zhang Rang's death. Without the check and balance of He Jin and Zhang Rang, Dong Zhuo had no scruples. Because he was afraid of Ding Yuan's soldiers and horses, he decided to use the red rabbit horse and the high-ranking official Houlu to lure Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan.

After Ding Yuan's death, Dong Zhuo used Lu Bu to annex Bingzhou soldiers and horses, and controlled the soldiers in the general's mansion. He had more than 20 soldiers and horses at once. It can be said that he was so powerful that no one dared to offend Dong Zhuo.Not long after, Dong Zhuo became even more daring, and secretly killed Emperor Ling, claiming that he had died of illness. Later, Liu Xie succeeded him as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Since Situ Wangyun experienced Lingdi's illness and death, Zhang Rang beheaded He Jin, Yuan Shao killed Zhang Rang and other eunuchs He Jin for revenge, and then Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan entered Luoyang, and then Dong Zhuo lured Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and annexed Ding Yuan and He Jin. He Jin sent soldiers and horses, and finally killed Emperor Shao and made Liu Xie emperor. So many things happened in just a few months, and before Wang Yun realized what was going on, Dong Zhuo had completely controlled Luoyang.

"Oh, Wen Zhong was right. Luoyang is going to be in chaos." Wang Yun shook his head and sighed. Although he is old, he still remembers Li Yuan's prophecy a few years ago, and now it has all come true. , He had to lament Li Yuan's foresight and foresight, and he was also thankful that he had already let Li Yuan take away the most important adopted daughter, otherwise Dong Zhuo would never let Diao Xiuer be so stunning with his courage.

In fact, Wang Yun in history finally used Diao Chan's beauty trick to lure Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo. It was only because of Li Yuan that history changed and Wang Yun's heart changed. At this time, he was no longer wholeheartedly defending the Han Dynasty. To eradicate Dong Zhuo, he was considering whether to resign and leave Luoyang like Cai Yong did.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Yun finally made up his mind.A few days later, Wang Yun implored Emperor Xian to resign and return to his hometown. Emperor Xian did not allow it at first, but finally nodded under Wang Yun's repeated insistence.

In fact, it was not Emperor Xian who nodded at the end but Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was very happy to see that Wang Yun was about to resign, because Wang Yun was an old minister with great prestige. He would still be a little afraid of Dong Zhuo, but now that Wang Yun left, he There is no longer any scruples about controlling things that are going up.

After Wang Yun resigned, he did not stay. After saying goodbye to the court ministers, he returned to the mansion. After dismissing his servants and selling valuable items, he took his family and left Luoyang for Runan.

Not long after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled Luoyang that day and returned to Chenliujiwu City to prepare to raise troops. Yuan Shao also couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's control of the government, hung the talisman issued by the court on the east gate, and fled to Jizhou.

The chaos in Luoyang has spread to Runan. Although we don't know the details, it is not far from what Li Yuan expected. At this time, all civil servants and generals in Runan gathered in the prefect's mansion to discuss the Luoyang matter.

"Your Majesty is really ingenious. He was able to predict the chaos in Luoyang a year ago. I am far inferior." Xi Zhicai was also shocked when he learned of the chaos in Luoyang. Li Yuan had guessed that Luoyang would be in chaos a year ago, and he was able to analyze the general situation of the world so thoroughly, even Guo Jia, whom he admired the most, could not do such a skill.

"Hahahahaha, when did you become so good at flattering Zhicai?" Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, and as Li Yuan laughed, the rest of the people also laughed. Familiar, and Li Yuan usually likes to make fun of everyone, so they have become accustomed to Li Yuan's "unscrupulous" character.

"Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital is a big man's misfortune, but it is also our opportunity. My lord, we should seize the moment and try our best to develop the situation in Runan. When our army is strong, we can go to Beijing to attack Dong Zhuo." Chen Qun although quite He is resourceful, but his vision has not yet reached the level of a first-class strategist.

Li Yuan knew that Xi Zhicai had an idea in his mind, but he did not rush to ask Xi Zhicai, but looked at Huang Zhong on the other side, "Han Sheng, what do you think about this matter?"

Huang Zhong thought for a while and replied: "My lord, I think what Chen Changshi said is reasonable. At present, Runan has enough soldiers and food, but their strength is far from that of Dong Zhuo. We can't compete with Dong Zhuo with only Runan County. If you want to deal with Dong Zhuo, you will need the help of Kong Ni, Inspector Kong, and as the Inspector of Yuzhou, he can naturally summon much more troops than us."

Huang Zhong was born in military strategy, it was still too difficult for him to come up with a perfect strategy, but he thought more deeply than Chen Qun, at least he knew that their Runan County alone was not enough to compete with Dong Zhuo.

Li Yuan was about to ask Xi Zhicai, when Cheng Yu suddenly came out and said, "My lord, I have an idea and wonder if it's appropriate?"

"Although Zhong De made it clear." If it wasn't for what Cheng Yu said, Li Yuan would have almost forgotten him. Although he knew that Cheng Yu was a counselor who was as good as Xi Zhicai, Runan had been developing steadily and recharging his energy for the past year. So Cheng Yu didn't have much room to play.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo is very ambitious. He has more than [-] Xiliang soldiers under his command, and now he has annexed the Bingzhou Army and He Jin's army. At this time, his strength has far exceeded everyone's expectations, and he wants to fight against others. Speaking of the power of our state, even if we add our neighboring Jingzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou may not be Dong Zhuo's opponents." Cheng Yu said what was in his mind, and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but stare at Cheng Yu after hearing Cheng Yu's words. Liang, looked at Cheng Yu with a little more appreciation.

Xidu said dissatisfied after listening to it: "Hmph, Master Cheng Bo is too long. Others' ambition will destroy his own prestige. Although Dong Zhuo has many troops, how can he compete with us when we gather the strength of the four states?"

Not only Xidu, but also Liu Pi, Wang Wu, Xu Zhu and Cai Yong think so.Cheng Yu saw that everyone refuted him, so he just smiled awkwardly and didn't say any more.

Li Yuan knew that although Cheng Yu was resourceful, but because he was just debuting, he was far from the courage he had in history, so he was a little timid when faced with doubts from everyone.

But Li Yuan didn't want Cheng Yu to affect his future character because of this, so he took the initiative to encourage him: "It doesn't matter Zhongde, they are just expressing their own ideas, I know you still have something to say, just say it, In my discussion here, there are rewards for being right, and no punishment for being wrong. I mainly want to brainstorm, after all, one person counts the short and the other counts the long, so you don’t have to worry, just say it.”

Hearing this, Xi Du also knew that his tone was a bit harsh just now, and he clasped his fists and said, "Cheng Changshi, I, Xi Du, is a rough person and have never read any books. Please don't blame me if my words offend you just now."

"Where is that, the captain of the school is serious." With Li Yuan's encouragement, Cheng Yu became more courageous, not as restrained as he was at the beginning, and continued, "Everyone, it's not that I want others to destroy my prestige, but Dong Zhuo Indeed, if we want to compete with him, we must gather the power of the princes of the world to have a chance to compete with him, so we must not act rashly, otherwise Dong Bandits may attack Runan."

Li Yuan nodded after listening, and asked Xi Zhicai again: "Zhicai, what should we do according to what you see?"

Xi Zhicai came out and said, "My lord, what Master Cheng Bo said is in line with my wishes. If we take the initiative to attack, we can only hit the stone with the egg. It is better to wait for the opportunity to make a decision now."

Seeing that Xi Zhicai, the number one counselor under the lord's command, also agreed with Cheng Yu's suggestion, everyone couldn't help admiring him. Cheng Yu was relieved, and at the same time respected Xi Zhicai a little more.
