Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106 The Rise of Dong Zhuo
Chapter [-]
"Dong Zhuo, what are you doing?" Seeing Xiliang soldiers surrounding him, Yuan Shao asked.

"Hmph, I, Dong Zhuo, came here from a thousand miles away, of course for the sake of King Qin, so how can you wait and act mischievously in front of the Holy One." Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Shao, with a contemptuous expression on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Dong Zhuo coming with Xiliang soldiers and surrounding them, Zhang Rang immediately became happy and said to them:
"The emperor is here, why don't you quickly kneel down and salute."

Hearing Zhang Rang's cry, Dong Zhuo quickly got off the Chitu horse, knelt down to Liu Bian, and said loudly:

"My lord, Dong Zhuo, governor of Xiliang, has led all the soldiers from Xiliang for a long distance to come to serve the king, and I will respectfully greet the emperor's peace." Following Dong Zhuo's kneeling, the tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry behind him also got off their horses and knelt down.

"Aiqing has worked hard from afar, and she is flat." Liu Bian was already stunned by the shocking scene in front of him, but at this moment he saw everyone kneeling, and finally came to his senses.

However, Liu Bian's words didn't seem to resonate too much. Dong Zhuo knelt in front of Liu Bian, but he didn't get up.Seeing that Dong Zhuo refused to get up, Liu Bian felt a little helpless.

It turned out that Dong Zhuo wanted to ask for some rewards from the emperor because of the fact that his army was suppressing the situation. However, Liu Bian was overwhelmed to get this matter after a night of escape, so he didn't have the heart to consider Dong Zhuo's needs.

"Dong Zhuo, are you here to save me, or to rebel?" At this moment, a childish voice suddenly rang out, it was Liu Bian's side, and Liu Xie, who was only seven or eight years old, spoke.

"The minister came from afar, naturally for the purpose of serving the king." Liu Xie's words surprised Dong Zhuo. Although Liu Bian and Liu Xie are now in Dong Zhuo's hands, the royal family's majesty has been in Dong Zhuo's heart for a long time. A deep-rooted coercion had already formed, and Dong Zhuo was a little panicked when he heard Liu Xie's questioning.

"Since this is the case, hurry up and escort the emperor back to the palace." Liu Xie's words reminded Dong Zhuo, but at the same time, it also established Dong Zhuo's position in the court.

Because at this time, Dong Zhuo is already a hero who has made great contributions to saving the family.

After Dong Zhuo accompanied the emperor and his brothers back to the palace, he claimed that the Northern Army was untrustworthy on the grounds of the safety of the palace, so he easily took over the guard of the palace.

Immediately after Li Ru's plan, Dong Zhuo gradually controlled the Northern Army through division, disintegration, temptation, and exclusion. However, in just three days, he controlled the [-] Northern Army in Luoyang.

Originally, when He Jin was here, the Northern Army was firmly under the control of He Jin, but with the death of He Jin, the Northern Army lost its support. Although the generals in the Northern Army were all elites of the Han Dynasty, However, because these people are elites, they are dissatisfied with each other. In the past, there was He Jin's suppression, which was naturally monolithic. Now without He Jin, it has turned into a mess. No matter Cao Cao knows this Yuan Shu, or even Yuan Shao, they can only control it. Among the Northern Army, there are very few parts.In the end, the [-] Xiliang Army was merged with the [-] Northern Army.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo had controlled the northern army and that Luoyang had become a major force, he had already saved him and sent a letter to the imperial court to designate himself as a general to replace He Jin.Facing Dong Zhuo's dominance, this proposal was passed smoothly without any objection.As for Zhang Rang, now that Dong Zhuo is in power, of course he will not allow a small eunuch to shake his power in front of him, so on a dark and windy night, two soldiers quietly put Zhang Rang into a sack, Buried in a mass grave outside Luoyang City, a man who once dominated the world and ruled the fate of the Han Dynasty quietly disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.

And many princes who were rushing to Luoyang also began to retreat after hearing the news that Dong Zhuo had taken over Luoyang.Hearing this news, Yuan Shao became even more furious.

"They're all a bunch of bastards. They usually talk about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but now it's time for them to contribute their efforts, and they've turned into cowards." Yuan Shao roared angrily, holding many notes sent by the princes.

It turned out that those princes saw that Luoyang had changed hands, and felt that there was no profit to be made, so they didn't want to participate in this matter, so they sent Yuan Shao a note, saying, "Everything is busy in the local area, and we can't send troops for a while. Chang Shi has already been put to death, this is God bless the great man." Seeing such a statement, he couldn't help being angry.

"General, there is no need to be angry. In fact, the behavior of these princes is also reasonable." Seeing Yuan Shao angry, Xu You walked over and brought another news to Yuan Shao. "I heard that the 20 troops of the Xiliang Army have passed Chang'an and are rushing towards Luoyang non-stop. Presumably those princes retreated when they heard that the Xiliang Army is powerful."

"Why does the Xiliang army still have 20 troops? When Dong Zhuo came here, there were already 20 cavalry. Now the [-] army that controls the Northern Army is already [-], and there are still [-] troops. It's a barren land, where do you get so much food and money to support so many troops?" Yuan Shao's face changed greatly after hearing Xu You's words.

"My lord, I don't know that Xiliang has been at war all year round, and the people's customs are strong. You can form an army with a little rectification. If Xiliang was rich, there might not be many soldiers and horses, but because Xiliang is barren and war-torn, the people have nothing to do." Survival, so although Xiliang lacks money and food, it does not lack soldiers and horses. Put up banners everywhere, and people who serve as soldiers and food will come.” Although Xu You’s words are a bit exaggerated, they are more in line with Xiliang’s situation. Condition.

"In this way, is it true that Dong Zhuo is really allowed to control the government and the artifacts of the country?" Yuan Shao was a little sad and indignant. Originally, Yuan Shao wanted to let the old Yuan family control the court by attracting the princes into the army, but he did not expect that Dong Zhuo would be fulfilled.

"Actually, there is still a chance." A brilliance flashed in Xu You's eyes, obviously remembering something. "Although Dong Zhuo is fierce, he is not invincible. I heard that Dingyuan in Bingzhou, Sun Jian in Changsha, and Gongsun Zan in Beiping are all heroes of my great man. The general might as well let them attack Dong Zhuo, so that we have a chance."

"Sun Jian in Changsha and Gongsun Zan in Beiping are too far away. When they arrive, Dong Zhuo may be in a position to succeed. However, Dingyuan in Bingzhou has enough soldiers and food. His Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, and he can be on par with Dong Zhuo." Long or short." Yuan Shao showed a slight smile, obviously very satisfied with his plan.

At the same time, outside Luoyang City, tens of thousands of troops are heading towards Luoyang.A large flag was erected in the army, with a big "Ding" on it, it was Ding Yuan who led the troops.

"Hmph, it's too damned. This Dong Zhuo is just a worthless guy. Not long ago, he was beaten to death by the Yellow Turban Army. Now he turns around and wants to be a general. How can he dare to take this high position?" Ding Yuan Nearby, the generals heard that Dong Zhuo had become a general, and they were all indignant.

"Gao Shun, what do you think about this matter?" Hearing the noise from the generals around him, Ding Yuan didn't respond, but asked Gao Shun on the side. From Ding Yuan's point of view, Gao Shun had always been calm and strategic.Therefore, Ding Yuan always likes to ask Gao Shun for his opinion when encountering major events.

"It's really hard for my subordinates to comment on this matter. The governor should ask, General Lu, maybe he has some opinions." Gao Shun didn't answer Ding Yuan directly, but turned the topic to Lu Bu, because Gao Shun found out that Along the way, Lu Bu actually seldom spoke, with a dignified look on his face.

It turned out that Lu Bu was thinking about a problem along the way.That is, if Dong Zhuo asked him to kill Ding Yuan like in history, what should he do?Psychologically speaking, Lu Bu is unwilling, because his reputation for killing his father must be too bad. If Lu Bu does this, he may not get the approval of the world no matter what he does in this life. .But if you don't kill him, Lu Bu has already deeply felt Ding Yuan's distrust of him. The reason is very simple. Ding Yuan has already seen Lu Bu's ambitions. Could Ding Yuan fail to see what Lu Bu was thinking?If Lu Bu didn't kill Ding Yuan, I'm afraid Ding Yuan would have to find a way to kill Lu Bu.However, Ding Yuan must be Lu Bu's father. Zeng Jin took Lv Bu in during his most difficult time. Lu Bu believed that without Ding Yuan, it would be difficult for Lu Bu to take revenge.Thinking of this, Lv Bu made up his mind that he would never kill Ding Yuan. Even if Ding Yuan wanted to kill Lv Bu, Lv Bu would just go away. The world is so big, with Lv Bu's unrivaled force, he would be the best wherever he goes .

Thinking of this, Lu Bu couldn't help turning his head to glance at Ding Yuan, but at this moment, Lu Bu saw that everyone was looking at him.

"My son Lu Bu, tell me, what do you think of this trip to Luoyang?" Ding Yuan asked once when he saw that Lu Bu was absent-minded.

"Well, now that Dong Zhuo has entered Luoyang and controlled the imperial court, the general trend has come. The 20 Xiliang soldiers have already passed Chang'an, and will arrive in Luoyang soon. If we face Dong Zhuo this time, it will be difficult for us to fight with all our strength. Retire." Lu Bu said cautiously after thinking for a while.

"Hahaha, my son is worrying too much. You see, this day is still the sky of the Han Dynasty, and this land is still the land of our Han Dynasty. No matter how many Xiliang troops are, they are still soldiers of our Han Dynasty. Although Dong Zhuo is incompetent, But he is also a courtier of my Great Han Dynasty. Could it be that he will rebel? We only need to know the advantages and disadvantages, and we will be able to appease the court. If Dong Zhuo does not know what is good or bad, I am not a vegetarian. I have already sent an order to make him station troops in the Yellow River On the other side, there was a change in Luoyang, so they sent troops here immediately. Besides, the princes of the world are not just Dong Zhuo and me, how could a Dong Zhuo dare to risk the disobedience of the world and do something disobedient?" Ding Yuan laughed loudly. , Dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the generals.In fact, when Ding Yuan said these words, he didn't really want to discuss with the generals, but just wanted to cheer them up.

Soon, Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army rushed to the outside of Luoyang City and stationed outside Luoyang City.
