Nangong, Jiade Hall.
"Brother, brother, brother of the Ai family, you died so miserably.
Damn Dong Zhuo, he was so vicious.
The Ai family will never give up until they cut you into pieces."
Empress Dowager He saw Zhao Chun leading He Miao's head came back and he almost fainted on the spot.
He finally managed to survive with the comfort of Lu Zhi, Ding Gong and a group of eunuchs and maids.
Although the Empress Dowager He was previously wary of the power of her brother He Miao and worried that he would be as authoritarian as his eldest brother He Jin and treat her mother and son as puppets, she did not dare to use him to eradicate Dong Zhuo.
But now that she saw his head, there was always a chance.
The relationship between brother and sister is inevitably sad and sad.
After Queen Mother He calmed down a little, Zhao Chun immediately said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, General Liu Cheng also said that he would lead the Northern Army to attack Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo has now integrated the Xiyuan Army and retreated with the Xiyuan Army.
In Xicheng District, the City Guards had long been on Dong Zhuo's side.
The two veteran generals Zhang Wen and Zhu Jun were ordered by Jinwu Hu Wuban to be stuck at home and unable to go to their posts, so Dong Zhuo was able to recruit them.
Xiyuan Army.
Dong Zhuo now has 30,000 troops, 10,000 more than General Liu Cheng.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Northern Army is stronger than Dong Zhuo's troops.
The two sides are equally powerful.
General Liu Cheng said that it would be very difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo in a short time.
Please ask your Majesty and the Queen Mother to make plans in advance.
Before your Majesty’s new decree arrives, he will lead his army to attack Dong Zhuo with all his strength, even if he kills the last man.”
Liu Bian was so frightened that he looked at Empress Dowager He and said, "Mother" "Don't be afraid, Bian'er.
Queen Mother will make the decision for you in everything."
Queen Mother He comforted Liu Bian, who was in shock, and looked at Lu Zhi and Ding Gong and asked, "Lu Zhi and Ding Gong, what do you think?"
Lu Zhi and Ding Gong haven't thought about it yet and don't know how to deal with this matter.
At this time, a young eunuch quickly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, a large number of ministers have come outside the palace.
They all came after hearing that General Liu Cheng was fighting Dong Zhuo in Xicheng District.
I wonder if the palace guards should be allowed to do so."
"Habayashi Army released" Queen Mother He thought about it for a moment.
The palace was now empty, and she was really a little scared.
There were more people and she would feel more at ease.
At least one more person would bring more wisdom, so she raised her hand and said: "Let them in."
After a while, a large number of ministers including Huang Wan, Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Ma Rixi, Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, Zhu Jun, Zhang Wen, Kong Rong, Cao Cao, Peng Bo, etc. entered the hall one after another.
Among them were the ministers who had just been conquered by Dong Zhuo.
Yuan Shu was put back.
Zhu Jun and Zhang Wen were wrapped in gauze, and they first bowed down to Liu Bian and Queen Mother He to apologize: "I failed to go to the Xiyuan Army and City Guards in time to take up their duties, which allowed Dong Zhuo's traitors to seize the military power.
It is really the worst.
He deserves to die, please convict your Majesty.”
Lu Zhi stood up and bowed his hands to Liu Bian and the Queen Mother He and said: "Your Majesty, raise your hands.
The traitor Dong Zhuo has planned this for a long time.
I believe that General Zhu Jun and General Zhang Wen are not to blame for this matter.
Please exempt them from the blame."
Empress Dowager He raised her hand and said: "Since Lu Shangshu has requested for you two, I will exempt you from the culpability.
You should do your best to be loyal to the emperor and the court in the future."
Zhu Jun and Zhang Wen immediately knelt on the ground and told them: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, for your kindness.
Long live, long live."
"Okay, you all get up.

All the ministers should know.
Now Dong Zhuo has incorporated the Xiyuan Army and is assisted by the City Guards.
The strength has reached more than 30,000.
The Northern Army commanded by General Liu has less than 20,000 troops.
There is a difference of 10,000, but the combat strength is stronger than that of the Xiyuan Army.
The two sides are equally powerful.
Now, how do you think the Qing family should deal with this situation?"
Empress Dowager He glanced back and forth among the ministers with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Lu Zhi once again raised his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo has no regard for the emperor, ignores the laws of the court, constantly dispatches and seizes the power of the Xiyuan Army without authorization, and sends people to kill the cavalry general He Miao.
All kinds of evil deeds are too numerous to describe.
He must be severely punished and must not be let go.
General Liu must attack Dong Zhuo fiercely, take him down to hold him accountable, and cut him to death in the midst of the trouble.
Only then can he uphold the order of the dynasty and safeguard the imperial power."
Shaofu Yinxun stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, my steward returned from Chang'an this afternoon.
Before arriving in Luoyang, he discovered that a Xiliang army of 20,000 people was rapidly advancing towards Luoyang.
The commander of the army is It’s Dong Min, Dong Zhuo’s younger brother.
He will arrive outside Luoyang city at the latest tomorrow morning.”
"Ah" the officials were shocked when they heard the news.
Dong Zhuo already had 30,000 soldiers and horses.
If another 20,000 strong Xiliang army came, how could Liu Cheng be his opponent with only 20,000 Northern troops in hand?
The young minister felt a chill in his heart.
Dong Zhuo's power was too great.
If he confronted Dong Zhuo and settled old scores in the future, wouldn't he die in an ugly way?
For a while, the courtiers began to beat their hearts and their minds began to waver.
Yin Xun observed the expressions of the courtiers and felt secretly happy.
At this time, Yuan Wei stood up with a worried look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Dong Zhuo's strength in the city is now comparable to that of General Liu.
It will not be easy for General Liu to defeat him.
According to the news from Yin Shaofu, Dong Zhuo is Min's 20,000 Xiliang Army can arrive tomorrow morning.
At that time, Dong Zhuo will have an absolute advantage in strength.
General Liu's 20,000 Northern Army may not be able to stop it.
When Dong Zhuo comes to the palace, what will your Majesty and the Queen Mother do?"
The ministers had already thought of this result, but no one said it.
Only Yuan Wei dared to say it.
"My lords, don't be afraid.
Your Majesty has sent an edict to Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, who is on his way to Luoyang, and ordered him to lead his army to resist Dong Min's army."
Shang Shulang Zhong Yao immediately stood up and said loudly.
"Ding Yuan" The ministers were stunned when they heard this, and all of them suddenly smiled again.
They all knew that Ding Yuan was called Wu Meng Xiaowei for a reason.
He was brave in battle and had good skills in marching and fighting.
If Ding Yuan blocks Dong Min, there is no need to worry.
But Yin Xun said again: "Huh, you adults don't know, Ding Yuan only has 5,000 men in his hands, how can he stop the 20,000 Xiliang tiger and wolf troops?
I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to stop him, but he will also be defeated by Dong."
Min was defeated.
As a result, the imperial court lost hope again.
Now that the city defense army was on Dong Zhuo's side, it was still unknown whether the envoy sent by His Majesty could pass the interrogation of the city guard army and go to Mengjin to convey the decree to Ding Yuan.

Woolen cloth" The expressions of the ministers changed again, and many ministers began to be afraid.
It seemed that Dong Zhuo had become the winning side.
Empress Dowager He looked a little ugly, "Then based on Taifu Yuan's opinion, how should the court respond?"
Yuan Wei cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, in the opinion of my veteran ministers, it is better to send someone to ask Dong Zhuo for peace, so as to save some face for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother.
If Dong Zhuo is allowed to lead an army into the palace, it will not be a pity for me to wait for death, but Your Majesty How should we deal with the situation with the Queen Mother?
We can't let Dong Zhuo kill His Majesty and the Queen Mother, right?"
Lu Zhi was furious and stood up, pointed at Yuan Wei and yelled: "Yuan Wei, are you still a minister of the Han Dynasty and you actually said such a thing?"
Yuan Wei did not look guilty, "Lu Shangshu, although my words are unpleasant, they are real issues that have to be faced.
Make a decision early so that the court can save as much face as possible."
Some people on the fence began to waver, and Yang Biao also stood up and said: "For the safety of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, I believe that what Yuan Taifu said is not unfeasible":
