Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and Liu Yan are really old acquaintances.
Twenty years ago, the three of them were ordered to go out beyond the Great Wall to fight against the Southern Huns cavalry.
Dong Zhuo is known as the”Athlete of Xiliang”, not to mention his martial arts.
Liu Yan was holding a snake spear that was eight feet long, and he also took the lead bravely. He even killed seven Southern Huns cavalry in a row!
Only Ding Yuan shrank and hid behind.
But when it came to receiving military exploits, Ding Yuan had the greatest credit.
Young Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan despised this, thinking that Ding Yuan was just a useless person who only knew how to steal people’s heads!
But now, Dong Zhuo, who is over fifty years old, has a completely new understanding of that incident.
A burst of passion is often extinguished by cold water.
On the contrary, old yinbi like Ding Yuan know what it means to grow up in a humble way and make a fortune in silence.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru:
“What Wen You said is true”
“This old man Ding Yuan is full of tricks and will be the future enemy of our Xiliang army. Li
Ru cupped his hands and said with a smile:
“Ding Yuan is cunning and lacks courage, so he is no match for his father-in-law.”
“Moreover, Su Wen heard that within the Bingzhou Army, there was a loud voice of dissatisfaction with Ding Yuan.”
“If one day, my father-in-law goes to war with Ding Yuan, he must take advantage of the internal contradictions in the Bingzhou Army”
“In this way, everything Ding Yuan does is making wedding clothes for his father-in-law!”
Hearing this, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily.
He was different from Ding Yuan.
Dong Zhuo’s prestige within the Xiliang Army was unparalleled!
The important generals of the Xiliang Army include Hua Xiong, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others are all loyal to Dong Zhuo.
You can say that Dong Zhuo is cruel, you can say that Dong Zhuo is bad, but you can never say that he is not good to his Xiliang direct descendants!
In the original history, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops He stormed into Chang’an to avenge Dong Zhuo.
It can be seen that although Dong Zhuo died, his influence still exists!
Although, this is partly because of Jia Xu’s instigation of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.
But if it weren’t for Dong Zhuo’s usual good treatment of his direct descendants from Xiliang , won the hearts of the troops, and the troops could not gather at all.
Suddenly, Hua Xiong walked in from the outside with vigorous steps, and reported:
“To inform my lord, Luoyang has sent an envoy, a eunuch.”
“eunuch?”
Dong Zhuo and Li Ru secretly exchanged glances.
If they were from General He Jin or Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, there would be no need to send an eunuch here.
The only person who can send an eunuch is Liu Hong.
“Please invite the messenger in quickly.”
Dong Zhuo said.
Hua Xiong turned and left.
After a while, a eunuch who looked very similar to Zhang Rang came in. He was Zhang Rang’s godson and was also given the surname Zhang.
“Governor Dong, our family is here under His Majesty’s order to deliver the imperial edict to you.”
“Should our family announce the content of this imperial edict, or should you read it yourself?”
Zhang Rang’s godson and Dong Zhuo are old acquaintances. Dong Zhuo usually stuffs money into the palace.
Dong Zhuo quickly smiled and said:”Please ask Eunuch Zhang to read it for you.”
Zhang Rang’s godson nodded, unveiled the imperial edict, and read out:
“In response to Tianshun’s appointment, Dong Zhuo, the governor of Liangzhou, was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou because of his meritorious service in defeating the Liangzhou rebels!”
(Important PS: Emperor Fengtian Chengyun’s edict was only issued by the Ming Dynasty’s imperial edict. Before, he had always obeyed Tianshun and accepted Ming’s orders.) The imperial edict only had a few sentences, which seemed very perfunctory.
But Dong Zhuo’s mood suddenly fell into Bottom.
Haha, you have made great achievements in defeating the rebels, and then you are transferred to peace?
What the hell, don’t you just want to transfer Dong Zhuo to Bingzhou, a place he is not familiar with, and let him start over?
When he is transferred to other states, he is only allowed to bring two people with him at most. A full bodyguard force, that is, a thousand people.
More than 100,000 Xiliang troops will stay in Liangzhou, waiting for the new governor to take office.
This move is no longer to remove salary from the bottom of the cauldron, but to directly replace the pillars!
Seeing that Dong Zhuo’s face is not good-looking, Li Ru He quickly stepped forward to save the situation.
He quietly stuffed a piece of gold foil into Zhang Rang’s godson’s pocket and asked:
“Can Eunuch Zhang tell you where Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, was transferred? Feeling the heavy weight in his pocket, Zhang Rang’s godson smiled and said:
“It seems that he was transferred to Jingzhou.”
Hearing this, a ray of light burst out between Dong Zhuo’s brows!
Based on his understanding of Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan must not be willing to leave Bingzhou.
Their situations are very similar, and they have both been operating in the frontier for more than ten years.
If If you transfer him now, you won’t be able to gather such a strong force in the future. If
Ding Yuan doesn’t leave, Dong Zhuo has no reason to leave Liangzhou.
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo first held a banquet in honor of Zhang Rang’s godson, and then sent him away respectfully..
After Zhang Rang’s godson left, Li Ru said:
“Father-in-law, this is a troubled time. You must not leave Liangzhou at this time!”
“The emperor is dying soon. As long as we delay his death, this so-called imperial edict will lose its effect! Dong
Zhuo stroked his beard and said with a smile:
“What Wen You said is true”
“Old man Ding Yuan probably had the same idea as me.”
“Haha, this old emperor is so ruthless”
“I have been stationed in Liangzhou for him for more than ten years and have made countless achievements.”
“It is really a foolish dream to want to take everything away from me with an imperial edict!”
