As soon as Liu Cheng and his troops escorted Empress Dowager He Luanjia arrived near the Jiade Palace, Dong Zhuo arrived with his troops and tried to rush into the palace, but was blocked by Zhao Yun who was on duty and led his troops.
The two sides almost fought outside the palace. stand up.
Just as Zhao Yun was confronting Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong, Liu Cheng arrived with his men.
He stopped his horse and pointed his broken army drill at Dong Zhuo and shouted: "Dong Zhuo, this is the second time you have led troops into the palace.
What do you want?"
Why do you want to kill the king to seize the throne?"
Dong Zhuo said seriously: "General Liu, you are wrong.
Our family is not bold enough to commit regicide to seize the throne.
It's just that our family saw that the ministers had important military and political matters and asked to see His Majesty, but His Majesty avoided seeing him.
That’s why I brought people to clear the road so that His Majesty can meet with the ministers, so that politics can be clear and government orders can be communicated."
Liu Cheng snorted coldly: "You, Dong Zhongying, are the only one in the world who can explain such nonsense so gloriously.
In any case, leading troops into the palace is a serious crime of beheading.
You can't escape today."
Dong Zhuo was furious and pointed at the soldiers of the Yulin Army around him and said: "Even with these wineskins and rice bags, you can catch me, Dong Zhuo.
Don't mention that you only have less than 3,000 men.
Even if there are twice as many, the 20,000 Xiliang warriors under our command can't hold me."
Can destroy them easily" "Hahaha twenty thousand" Just as Liu Cheng was about to expose Dong Zhuo's bluffing trick, a young eunuch suddenly ran out of the palace and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree, ordering all the Xiliang Army and Yulin Army to retreat and return to their barracks.
No mistakes should be made.
Anyone who violates it will be punished."
Rebellion.
Inside and outside the Jiade Hall, Mingong, the doctor, led the imperial guard to protect the body, and announced the audience."
After hearing the imperial edict, Liu Cheng turned to look at Dong Zhuo and sneered: "Dong Zhuo, if you want to resist the edict, don't think that your trick of fooling the officials and ministers can deceive everyone in the world.
It turns out that there are people stationed in the Huben Army barracks.
How many Xiliang troops are there?
That's the number right now.
If you come here to do anything evil today, I will fight you to the death."
Dong Zhuo's calm expression changed instantly after hearing these words.
Li Ru had told him long ago that this strategy could only be concealed for a while, but could not be concealed forever.
Sooner or later, someone would find something was wrong, so it must be done Kill He Miao as soon as possible and seize his military power in the Northern Army and Xiyuan Army.
Li Ru walked up to Dong Zhuo and pulled his sleeves, and whispered: "My lord, please bear with me for now.
It is unwise to resist Liu Cheng now.
Think about our purpose this time.
As long as the emperor announces the presence of all ministers, we will The goal is not difficult to achieve, and there is no need to fight to the death with Liu Cheng."
Dong Zhuo stared at Liu Cheng and waved his hand to Zhang Ji: "Zhang Ji, lead the troops back to the camp."
"Yes."
Zhang Ji agreed and said to Zhang Xiu behind him: "Zhang Xiu, you stay here with General Hua Xiong to protect the Lord.
If there is anything wrong with the Lord, my uncle will only ask you."
"Uncle, don't worry, as long as Zhang Xiu is here, no one can harm you," Zhang Xiu said, holding his gun and clasping his fists.
"The whole army listens to the order and withdraws!"
Zhang Ji shouted, and the Xiliang army put away their weapons and retreated slowly.
When Liu Cheng saw the Xiliang army retreating, he had no choice but to order: "Zhao Sima, second brother, and third brother, please withdraw all brothers to the camp."
"Yes, general" Zhao Rui and Yan Xing agreed with clasped fists and waved their hands: "Withdraw" The troops from both sides have withdrawn one after another, but their respective personal guards are still left around the Jiade Hall, with more than 200 people each, and the atmosphere is no longer as tense as before.
Liu Cheng jumped off his horse, handed the broken army boring tool to Wang Shuang, and walked up the steps to the main hall holding the handle of the Greedy Wolf Sword.
"Humph" Dong Zhuo snorted and walked towards the main hall holding his sword.
But Dong Zhuo and others were quickly stopped by Mingong and several young eunuchs.

Mingong said: "Master Dong, please untie the sword."
Dong Zhuo was furious, pointed at Liu Cheng's back and shouted: "Then why can't Liu Cheng understand the sword?
Do you think our family is easy to bully?"
Min Gong said: "General Liu Cheng is a lieutenant general in the forest.
It is his duty to protect the emperor.
If his weapons are collected, how can he protect your majesty and the queen mother Dong?
Please untie the sword quickly."
Dong Zhuo was so angry that his beard was bristle, veins popped out on the back of the hand holding the sword, his eyes were red, and his face was ferocious, as if he wanted to eat people.
Li Ru immediately gently pulled his clothes, and Dong Zhuo's violent mood slowly calmed down.
He took off his sword and put it in the hands of the young eunuch, and stepped up the steps.
Li Ru immediately followed.
Mingong wanted to ask Hua Xiong to untie his sword.
Hua Xiong's eyes widened and he shouted: "Let me untie my sword.
If you attack my lord in the hall, won't my lord let you slaughter me?
If I don't enter the hall, just It's okay to wait outside the palace."
Mingong didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to let Hua Xiong wait under the porch of the main hall with his sword.
After Liu Cheng entered the hall, the ministers were already standing on both sides of the hall, kneeling on cushions and waiting.
Some of them were still whispering.
Liu Cheng took a look and found that neither Lu Zhi nor Ding Gong, who was in charge of the Shangshu Desk, was there.
Only Sikong Liu Hong was there.
In addition, many important figures were not present, such as Yang Biao, Wu Fu, Huang Wan, Zhu Jun, etc.
A large number of loyal and old ministers were absent, which made Liu Cheng suspicious.
Liu Cheng winked at Wang Shuang and asked him to stand under His Majesty Dan with weapons in hand to protect him.
He then walked to a corner of the hall and summoned a young eunuch to whisper a few instructions.
The young eunuch agreed and left.
After a while, I heard a small yellow door scream: "Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, all the ministers are kneeling!"
All the ministers turned to the throne and bowed down, shouting: "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty" Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He walked up from one side to Danbi and sat down on the throne.
Liu Bian received the instructions from the Queen Mother He in advance, raised his hand and said to the ministers: "Your Majesty, please be free."
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Queen Mother He glanced at it and remembered what Liu Cheng had asked the eunuch to tell him.
Now that it was true, she immediately said: "Why Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Zhu Jun, Cui Lie, Ma Ri Since it is a court meeting, Xi and others are not here, so these people cannot be missing.
I ordered Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Zhu Jun and others to come to the court meeting."
"Follow the decree."
A small Huangmen agreed and immediately announced the decree to the outside world.
The eunuchs outside conveyed the oral instructions to the outside of the palace one by one.
Dong Zhuo stood in the team of ministers and looked at Jin Wu Hu Wuban.
Hu Wuban secretly made a gesture to him.
Dong Zhuo was relieved after seeing this gesture.
Zhi Jinwu was responsible for patrolling, suppressing violence, supervising rape and other tasks in the capital.
Hu Wuban had already been bribed by Dong Zhuo, and he had more than a thousand Tiqi and halberd-wielding men under him.
In fact, Zhang Wen, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Yang Biao, Huang Wan, Zhu Jun, Cui Lie, Ma Rixi and others were court ministers and had their own eyes and ears both inside and outside the court.
When Dong Zhuo ordered a group of ministers to make a fuss about meeting the emperor, time, they divide After receiving the news, they all rushed towards the palace, but almost at the same time, they were intercepted by Tiqi and halberd-bearers under Zhijinwu on their way to the palace, and were unable to arrive at the palace in time to attend the court meeting.
At this time, in the court hall, the attendant Zhou Yao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, since we have sent people to announce the decree, we should start the court meeting while waiting.
We can't let the court meeting stop if those people don't come, right?"
If you still don’t come, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and all the ministers present will have to wait until dark.”
"What Mr.

Zhou said is true, I second my opinion."
"I second the proposal" Empress Dowager He had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's wait while the court meeting is going on.
I don't know if the ministers have anything to report to their families
