Dong Zhuo's Mansion.
Dong Zhuo waved his sleeves and walked to the main seat, turned around and looked at the generals and officials standing on both sides and laughed: "We said before we left that we would come back.
Now look, we are not joking.
Well, this mansion is comfortable.
The emperor, the queen mother, and the civil and military officials of the court wanted to drive our family away, but our family refused to leave.
What can they do to our family?
Hahaha."
All the generals and officials clasped their fists and raised their hands and shouted: "Sir Sikong is so wise and powerful, congratulations to you on your victory!"
"Okay, okay, hahaha."
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, picked up the wine cup and said to the generals and officials: "Come on, you can make the court and the emperor compromise.
You all have merit.
Let's toast you all here first. , next our family will seek official positions and titles for you, please wait and see."
When the generals and officials heard this, they were overjoyed one after another.
They praised Dong Zhuo's merits, flattered him, and flattered him.
Dong Zhuo not only was not unhappy, but actually enjoyed it all the time.
Seeing Dong Zhuo's expression, Li Ru had some worries in his heart.
He remembered something, stood up and said to Dong Zhuo, "Your Excellency, although the court has agreed to the conditions proposed by Your Excellency, there is one thing that You cannot ignore, and that is The security issue of the previous dynasty.
Although the imperial court had divided Liu Cheng's Yulin Army into two and restored the Huben Army's organization, the person who served as Huben Zhonglang was Kong Rong.
This was a corrupt scholar.
Could he control the Huben Army?
It’s still unknown, we’ll wait The safety of your Majesty when you go to court cannot be pinned on the uncertain factors of whether Kong Rong can control the Tiger and Ben Army.
If you want to ensure the safety of your Majesty when you go to court, we must let our army assume part of the task of guarding the imperial city.
Now Guardian of the Imperial City The whole bodyguard is in the hands of Liu Cheng.
If your Excellency enters the palace rashly to attend the court meeting, if Liu Cheng goes mad and attacks you, our troops inside and outside the city will not be able to rescue you.
Therefore, we must find a solution before your Excellency enters the Chancellery to perform his duties. this matter" Dong Zhuo was reminded by Li Ru and immediately slapped his forehead: "Yes, yes, our family almost forgot about this life-threatening matter.
Wen You, what do you think we should do to deploy our troops into the palace?
" Li Ru thought for a moment and handed over his hand and said: "It is too late to bribe the generals of the Yulin Army and the Huben Army now, and Liu Cheng is not an ordinary person, he will not be unprepared for us, so this trick is useless, we still have to If you want to find other ways, the Yulin Army and the Huben Army are now responsible for the defense inside and outside the imperial city.
Many of the yamen in the past have not been restored, including Nangong and Bei under Wei Weiqing.
The Palace Guards Order, the Two Palaces Guards Order is responsible for the security and defense outside the two palaces.
We can use the restoration of the establishment as an excuse to have a minister submit a proposal to the court to re-appoint the Two Palaces Guards Order, and convey your concerns to the emperor and the queen mother.
If the emperor The city guards are all responsible for the Yulin Army and the Huben Army.
How to ensure the safety of the Lord when he goes to court?
There must be a situation that is acceptable to both parties.
If the Emperor and the Queen Mother do not give it a try, Concerned, Your Excellency will definitely not give up, even if there is another war, we will not hesitate to fight again.
As long as the court compromises and appoints our officials or generals as guards of the South and North Palaces, we can control part of the military power in the imperial city.
If Liu Cheng refuses to give up power, We will send our own troops to take over the guard duties outside the two palaces.
As long as we have soldiers and horses to guard outside the two palaces, the safety of your Excellency when you go to court can be guaranteed, and I We can also work step by step to encroach on the power of the Yulin Army and the Huben Army step by step.
Kong Rong is just a bit of a talker, but if he really wants to show his strength, if he can't do it, then we will find a way to get rid of his Tiger Ben Army General.
If we transfer him to another post, and then assign our people, wouldn’t the Huben Army fall into our hands?
By analogy, we are dealing with the Yulin Army and gradually weakening Liu Cheng’s strength."
Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed and said: "Hahaha, okay, Wen You, this is a great plan.
Let's weaken the emperor's strength step by step, violating their bottom line again and again, until he and the Queen Mother He want to fight back.
This is a good idea.
Who do you think is the most suitable person to make suggestions to the court?"
Li Ru cupped his hands and said: "Yi Lang Peng Bo" The two looked at each other, raised their heads and laughed: "Hahaha" After laughing for a while, Li Ru said again: "Sir, there is one more thing that I have to prepare in advance."

Dong Zhuo asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Li Rudao: "If you want to be in charge of the government and get the support of the people in the world, you must get the support of some famous people.
Only in this way can talents join you and the government orders can be smoothed."
Dong Zhuo slapped his forehead and shouted: "Yes, why didn't our family think of it?
It seems that Wen You's brain is good for me, so in Wen You's opinion, which celebrities should be recruited to serve our family?"
Li Rudao: "Cai Yong, He Yong, Zheng Gongye, Wu Chushi, etc.
In addition, the ministers Ding Gong, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others are just grassroots and can be won over.
As for the Yuan family, they have ulterior motives and have long wanted the world."
Big mess” At this time Li Su said: "Mr.
Wen first, how come I heard that Ding Gong, Huang Wan and others have belittled and cursed the Lord's actions several times in the court?
People like them can also be won over. of" Li Ru sneered and said: "Humph, these people are just trying to gain fame and political capital.
If they really want to be lured by high-ranking officials, rich salaries and titles, and then put the knife on their necks, see if they are in court.
Mr.
Li will still be so tough in the hall, how about we make a bet?"
Li Su rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I just want to see the faces of these hypocrites.
How about I bet 10,000 dollars?"
Li Ru clapped his hands and said: "Good" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Okay, our family will give 20,000 yuan as a lottery.
Whoever wins, the 20,000 yuan will be his.
Anyone who comes will conquer Cai Yong, He Yong, Zheng Gongye and Wu in the name of Sikong Mansion."
In addition, Chu Shi and others sent people to contact Ding Gong, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and others to test their attitudes."
After the Northern Army returned to camp, there were still a lot of matters that had not been completed.
Liu Cheng was busy building the Right General's Mansion again.
The former General He Jin and the Chariot and Cavalry General He Miao were both dead, leaving two large generals' mansions vacant.
After Liu Cheng asked Emperor Liu Bian for instructions, he changed the palace of the former Chariot and Cavalry General He Miao into the palace of the Right General.
He Miao died so miserably, it can be seen that the officials and counselors in his general's house were just wine sacks and rice sacks.
Every one of them could be of great use.
Otherwise, he would not have died so miserably.
Therefore, Liu Cheng relied on flattery to support He Miao. flattery All the people in high positions were dispersed, not even the people working below were left behind, all were driven away.
All the personnel were either transferred from the army or were recruited from the list.
With his current reputation, there were also many unsuccessful people who came to apply.
That night, Zhong Yao reported to Liu Cheng: "General, I have been ordered to count battle casualties and seizures.
The results have been obtained.
In the battle a few days ago, the Northern Army lost more than 3,700 people and injured 2,000."
Our army killed as many as 6,000 enemy troops and injured countless others.
In addition, our army captured more than 6,000 enemy troops.
More than 1,600 war horses, more than 5,000 weapons, more than 3,000 sets of armor, 130,000 arrows, 2,000 stones of grain and grass, 120 gold, 2.2 million coins, and 400 Dong Zhuo's troops were captured In the past two days, Xu Rong, Wu Fu, Zhong Ji and others posted a list in the city to recruit brave soldiers, and there were more than a thousand followers."
After listening to Zhong Yao's report, Liu Cheng said: "It seems that the people of Luoyang City can still see clearly.
They know who is loyal and who is treacherous.
At this rate of recruitment, the lost soldiers can be recovered in a few days."
Completed”
Zhong Yao cupped his hands and said: "Yes, general, we have made arrangements in all aspects now.
We are not afraid of Dong Zhuo's idea of attacking the Northern Army for the time being.
However, there is one thing that General must pay attention to, and that is the salary, food and grass of the Northern Army." and ordnance supplies, Dong Once Zhuo takes full control of the government, the Northern Army will definitely encounter great difficulties in these aspects.
Dong Zhuo will definitely not let the court issue military pay, grain, grass and ordnance supplies to our army.
Without the supplement of military pay, grain, grass and ordnance supplies, our army will It will collapse soon.”

Liu Cheng nodded and said, "This is indeed a big deal."
At this time, a soldier walked in quickly and cupped his hands and said: "General, Eunuch Zhao wants to see you."
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, feeling bad in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Please quickly":
