Chapter 40: Each Shows His Means


Xun Yu whispered to Liu Cheng: "General, it's nothing to lose control of the Xiyuan Army.

The Xiyuan Army has long been out of the control of the imperial power.

The key is that losing control of the Northern Army is a disaster, so the Northern Army is a top priority."

He Miao is indecisive and has a bad relationship with the ministers in the DPRK.

It is complicated, and he has no talent or courage.

The subordinate is worried that he may have problems at the critical moment.

In addition, in case of failure, as long as the general firmly controls the Yulin Army and ensures the safety of His Majesty, Dong Zhuo will not dare to do it in front of him even if he controls the government.

Kill the king and seize the throne in front of everyone in the world."

Liu Cheng frowned.

He thought of Liu Xie and whispered to Xun Yu: "Dong Zhuo was not so bold yet.

Now it is no longer the past.

The governors of all states in the world have military power in their hands, and they are all powerful.

He If he dares to kill the king and seize the throne, he will definitely be attacked by a group of people.

He is not far away from death.

What I worry about is that once he takes control of the government, he will abolish the establishment of the government."

Xun Yu's expression changed greatly: "King Hongnong" Liu Cheng nodded.

Xun Yu looked solemn at this time, and he obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.

He said to Liu Cheng: "Judging from what Dong Zhuo did during the time he came to Beijing, there must be wise and resourceful counselors around this man to advise him. , I just heard what the general said, it is indeed very likely that Dong Zhuo will take control of the government after taking control of the government.

The purpose of intimidating the government and the opposition was achieved by deposing the emperor and establishing a new emperor.

In this way, the only way to prevent him from making this move is to find someone to fight against him.

Even if he cannot fight against him, he must be unable to rule in court.

Just tell the truth in court, so that he can't do anything about abolishing the establishment."

Liu Cheng asked: "Who does Lord Xun think is the most suitable person, Lu Zhi, Ding Gong, Zhang Wen, or Yuan Wei?"

Xun Yu shook his head, pointed at Liu Cheng and said: "None of them can do it, only the general can do it."

"Why does Mr.

Xun think that this general is suitable, but these people whose official positions, reputations, and family backgrounds are much higher than mine are not suitable?"

Xun Yu turned his head and looked at the emperor, Queen Mother He and Zhong Yao.

He whispered: "The human relations of these people in the court are complicated.

Some of them may be loyal to the emperor and the Han Dynasty, but they are also loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Being constrained by many forces and unable to act freely, only generals There are no shackles and you can do whatever you want.

Judging from the attitude of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother towards the general, these two points are enough.

But whether the general can stand up to Dong Zhuo depends on how much military power the general can control. , this is the premise and the key.”

Liu Cheng thought for a while, then immediately walked up to Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Northern Army is too important.

The generals of chariots and cavalry are not familiar with military affairs, and there are no generals around to help.

I am worried that the Northern Army will suffer losses.

This resulted in a total loss, so I requested an order to assist the cavalry general."

Liu Bian asked worriedly: "If the general leaves, who will be responsible for guarding the palace?

What if Dong Zhuo leads his army and comes in?"

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, don't worry," Liu Cheng said, turned around and waved outside, shouting: "Yan Xing, Zhao Yun come in" "Nuo" the two of them heard the call and walked in, "Meet Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Liu Cheng pointed at the two of them and said to Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, these two people are highly skilled in martial arts.

No one of them can be inferior to me in martial arts.

With the two of them here, plus thousands of Yulin troops, , as long as we take strict precautions, Dong Zhuo cannot defeat him."

Yan Xing and Zhao Yun immediately bowed down and said: "I will fight to the death to protect the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Queen Mother He looked at the two young men, who were tall and heroic, and indeed looked quite capable.

She also remembered that there was a tunnel entrance to the outside of the city under her seat, and she felt relieved, so she agreed. : "In that case, General Liu will make a trip.

As long as it succeeds, no failure is allowed.

Zhao Chun, you are His Majesty's personal eunuch.

General Chariot and Cavalry knows you.

You and General Liu will make a trip."

Liu Cheng and Zhao Chun were about to agree, but Zhong Yao shouted: "Wait a minute."

I saw Zhong Yao put down his brush and stood up, bowed to Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He, and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, General Liu, Dong Zhuo's 20,000 Xiliang Army poses a great threat to Luoyang, and we must prevent this army from approaching.

Luoyang, Huangmen Shilang Xun You today When I was on duty in the palace, I met a junior minister.

He mentioned something.

Ding Yuan, the commander of Wu Meng, had already led his army to Luoyang and had probably crossed the river to Mengjin.

His Majesty could write an edict in handwriting and send it to Mengjin overnight. , ordered him to lead his army to intercept Dong Zhuo's 20,000 Xiliang army."

Liu Cheng was confused when he heard this and asked: "Ding Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Wu Meng, isn't Ding Yuan the governor of Bingzhou?

Why did he become the commander-in-chief Wu Meng again?"

Empress Dowager He knew this matter best.

She said: "Ding Yuan was both the governor of Bingzhou and the captain of Wumeng.

The Ai family remembers Ding Yuan.

Not only did he send a copy of the secret edict issued by the general to Dong Zhuo, but he also sent one to Dong Zhuo.

The share is given to Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou and the commander of Wu Meng, but is Ding Yuan reliable?"

Liu Cheng only knew that Ding Yuan seemed to be the governor of Bingzhou when watching a TV series in his previous life, but he did not know that this person also had an official position as Captain Wu Meng.

He understood this after hearing the explanation of the Empress Dowager He.

Zhong Yao said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, I know a little about Ding Yuan.

This man came from a humble background.

When he was a small official, bandits made trouble.

He took the lead in every battle.

Both Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan received orders from the generals.

Ding Yuan also led his troops to Luoyang after receiving the imperial edict, but these two people were definitely not from the same place.

This can be seen from their usual attitudes towards the court and their official voices.

Ding Yuan should still be loyal to his majesty and to the court.

The minister also heard that Dong Zhuo has a bad relationship with Ding Yuan.

Regardless of whether Ding Yuan is reliable or not, it is enough for us that he can block Dong Zhuo's 20,000 Xiliang army.

If we find that he has other intentions, we will think of something else.

It will not be too late for the law to be dealt with.

The minister thought that your majesty could issue an edict to Ding Yuan.

He would remove Hu Wuban from the post of Jin Wu for having evil intentions, change Ding Yuan to Jin Wu, and order him to lead an army to stop Dong Zhuo's 20,000 Xi troops.

"Liang's Army" When Liu Cheng heard this, his face showed joy.

He clasped his fists at Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He and said, "This is a very clever plan.

Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo have always had a quarrel.

He asked him to lead his army to block Dong Zhuo's 20,000 Xiliang army.

He After receiving the imperial edict, I will definitely lead the army there.

I think Lord Zhong’s plan is feasible.”

After saying this, Liu Cheng was filled with emotion for a moment.

There was a huge difference between having counselors and not having counselors.

He used to think hard about how to deal with Dong Zhuo, but he always felt that his wisdom was really limited, but today he has Xun Yu and Zhong Yao were present.

They analyzed the situation so thoroughly in just a few words and quickly came up with such a wonderful countermeasure.

Empress Dowager He said to Liu Bian: "Bian'er, give the order."

"Yes, Queen Mother" At this time, a young eunuch ran in from outside the palace and reported: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, Lord Lu Zhi and Lord Ding Gong have been ordered to wait outside the palace for an audience."

Empress Dowager He, Liu Cheng and others were overjoyed.

As long as these two people came, the edict to be issued would be legal.

Queen Mother He immediately said: "Quickly pass" Dong Zhuo's Mansion.

Before it got dark, lights were lit in the lobby, illuminating the inside and outside of the lobby.

Dong Zhuo knelt down and slowly drank wine and ate delicious food.

On the right side of the lobby, kneeling down were Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji, and Hu Zhen. , Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and other generals; on the right are kneeling Li Ru, Li Su, Wang Kuang, Wu Qiong, Hu Wuban, Zhou Ao and others.

No one spoke, everyone was waiting for news about Huang Chao.

Li Su got up and walked outside the lobby door to look at the sky.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned back and walked back to the center of the lobby to salute Dong Zhuo: "Sir, it's getting late.

It seems.

Huang Chao is afraid that he has failed, and his subordinates suggest that you should make plans early and not wait any longer."

After saying this, he returned to his seat and knelt down.

Li Ru stood up and said to Dong Zhuo: "My lord, General Wang said that Pan Yin has gone to Zhu Jun and Zhang Wen to convey the order.

If we don't seize military power tonight, we will be too late tomorrow and wait for the emperor and Queen Mother He to control the Xiyuan Army.

Coupled with the Northern troops, even if General Dong Min's 20,000-strong army arrives, they will be unable to do anything.

At that time, as long as the court issues an edict, the surrounding princes will definitely gather together and besiege our army, and then we will die without a burial place."

Dong Zhuo drank all the wine in the glass and immediately said to Li Ru: "Okay, Wenyou, just follow your plan."

"Nuo" Li Ru bowed and agreed.

He turned to face the civil servants and generals on both sides, with a high-spirited look on his face and shouted: "Take eunuch Pan Yin with you!"

Eunuch Pan Yin was led in by a Xiliang soldier.

Li Ru said to him: "Eunuch Pan, I know you are very angry, but when things have reached this point, do you think you can return to Queen Mother He and gain her trust?

Once General Wang’s informant is revealed, Queen Mother He learned that you should know what will happen to you, so your only chance of survival is to completely surrender to my family.

Now we must seize the military power of the Northern Army.

I am going to send you with the edict and General Hua Xiong with a team of troops.

The Northern Army Camp promulgated the edict" Pan Yin asked with a grimace: "Is the edict fake?"

"Hahaha, if my lord can get the real edict, what else do you need to do, no matter whether it is true or not, as long as you can seize the military power of the Northern Army, then as the empress dowager's personal eunuch, you will definitely gain the trust of Wu Fu, Zhou Huang and others, but There is also Xu Rong, this person is probably one of Liu Cheng’s, and you need to cooperate with General Hua Xiong to kill him when the time comes.”

Pan Yin knew that he had been completely tricked by Wang Kuang, so he could only agree with a sad face: "Promise" Hua Xiong immediately took Pan Yin and ordered two hundred soldiers and horses to rush to the Northern Army camp.

Li Ru was very satisfied with Pan Yin's attitude.

He looked at Wang Kuang and Li Xi again: "General Wang, Mr.

Li, Zhao Rong, Xia Mou, and Feng Fang will be left to you two to deal with it.

Mr.

Li, you and Zhao Rong are old acquaintances. , are all from Hanyang County.

You have just surrendered to Your Excellency.

Zhao Rong should not know yet.

Dao, I will definitely not guard against you.

You send someone to invite him, Xia Mou and Feng Fang to your home for a banquet.

During the dinner, Zhang Xiu and Wu Qiong will be killed.

You wicked people will accompany you with some city guards.

After the deed is completed, Zhang Xiu will take over the Xiyuan Army of these three people."

"Nuo" The four of them immediately stood up and left.

"General Hu" Li Ru looked at Hu Wuban, "You personally take your cavalry and halberd bearers under Zhi Jinwu to enforce the curfew, especially around the homes of Zhu Jun, Zhang Wen and others to control them.

We cannot go to the Xiyuan Army to take over military power.

If these two men break in, we can kill them if necessary."

"Understood" Hu Wuban clasped his fists and left immediately.

"Li Su" Li Ru shouted again.

Li Su stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Here" "Take General Hu Zhen to see Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao, and ask them to write a warrant or ask for a token, and ask them to order the officers and military commanders of the Xiyuan Central Army to obey General Hu Zhen's orders for the time being."

Li Su asked: "What if Yuan Shao doesn't agree?"

Li Ru smiled and said: "It's just a temporary loan.

Besides, with Yuan Shu in our hands, even if he doesn't agree, Yuan Wei will make him agree."

"I will go to the Yuan Mansion with General Hu Zhen":
