Zhao Rui saw that everyone else had left, and the only ones left were the truly trustworthy people brought by Liu Cheng, so he clasped his fists and said: "My lord, Fan Ji, the guard of Nangong Canglong Gate, has been acting abnormally recently.
After nearly ten days of secret tracking, And the investigation and interrogation of his cronies have confirmed that Fan Ji secretly defected to Dong Zhuo.
In addition, Xia Chaozong has also been very abnormal recently.
His subordinates sent people to keep an eye on him secretly.
He discovered that he had had two contacts with Dong Zhuo's people, and his subordinates also considered that Dong Zhuo's people might have caused a divorce.
Moreover, given that he was one of the first people to surrender to their lord, his subordinates were worried that they would act rashly without conclusive evidence.
Arresting people may have other adverse effects, putting everyone under the lord’s command in danger, which is not worth the gain, so we are still observing and collecting evidence.”
Canglong Gate is a palace gate in the southeast corner of the South Palace, close to the three mansions of Taiwei, Situ and Sikong.
It is the closest palace gate for officials of the imperial yamen to go to court to see the emperor.
Fan Ji was a military commander under Xia Chaozong.
Fan Ji was originally transferred from the Yulin Army to the Huben Army, but since Zhao Yun followed Xu Rong to Guanzhong, the Yulin Army could only be managed by Liu Cheng himself, and Xia Chaozong was transferred from The Huben Army transferred the Yulin Army to assist him.
Now Liu Cheng has too many things to do.
He didn't spend much time in the Yulin Army.
Half of the time, Xia Chaozong assisted him in managing the daily affairs of the Yulin Army.
If Xia Chaozong defected to Dong Zhuo, it meant that the Yulin Army might defect to Dong Zhuo under his leadership.
Dong Zhuo, although this possibility is unlikely, it is not impossible.
Zhong Yao asked: "What is Xia Sima's prestige in the Yulin army?
If he wants to lead his troops to surrender to the enemy, what is the possibility of success?"
Zhao Rui replied: "Of course Xia Chaozong's prestige is far less than that of the lord.
If he surrenders to the enemy, the possibility of leading the Yulin army to surrender is very small, but he has a few confidants, and it is possible to control some soldiers.
This is enough to cause fatal harm to our overall situation at a critical moment.”
Everyone looked at Liu Cheng, wondering how he would handle this matter.
Liu Cheng touched his chin, thought for a moment and told Zhao Rui: "Think of a way to test him."
Zhao Rui thought for a moment and then clasped his fists and said: "Master, I want to find someone to pretend to be Dong Zhuo to contact Xia Chaozong."
Zhu Jianping shook his head: "My lord, Pindao thinks it's inappropriate to do this.
Dong Zhuo's people have been in contact with him before.
If he has really surrendered to the enemy, suddenly changing people to contact him will definitely arouse his suspicion.
The past few days have been a critical period. , if Dong Zhuo makes any big move, Xia Chaozong and Fan Ji will inevitably be used.
Pindao suggests sending people to keep an eye on them.
As long as they make any changes or come into contact with Dong Zhuo's people again, they should be secretly arrested and interrogated immediately to make sure they are not leaked. information" Zhao Rui looked at Liu Cheng, who nodded after weighing it: "Just follow Taoist Master Zhu's suggestion.
If you have any news, report it immediately.
If I'm not here, you can report it to Xun Yu and Jia Xu, and they will make the final arrangements."
"Yes, I'm sorry to say goodbye" Next, Liu Cheng found a sergeant who looked very similar to him, put on his armor, and took a carriage back to General You's Mansion under the escort of Wang Shuang.
He, Zhong Yao, Zhu Jianping and others changed into casual clothes and took another ride.
The carriage leaves the city.
In the afternoon, Dong Zhuo returned to his palace in the city.
The ministers, officials and scholars who had taken refuge with him came to congratulate him on defeating Ding Yuan and subduing Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army.
"Welcome to Lord Sikong.
Congratulations to Lord Sikong for defeating Ding Yuan and returning in triumph."
The ministers, officials and scholars standing in front of the Dong Zhuo Mansion all bowed in salute, and some even knelt down to greet him.
"Hahaha" Dong Zhuo was extremely happy when he saw this and couldn't help laughing loudly.
The pride on his face could not be concealed.
Dong Zhuo suddenly saw Cai Yong from the crowd, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked over eagerly and grabbed Cai Yong's hand and said, "Oh, sir, it's good to be here.
It's good to be here.
Our family is looking forward to the stars these days."

The moon has finally come to you."
Cai Yong bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo and said angrily: "Sir, that Liu Cheng was so arrogant and rude that he arrested me and imprisoned me for a few days for no reason.
I have already promised you, sir, no, I I had promised my lord to serve as the military advisor of Sikong Mansion, and I had planned to come to the manor that morning to share my worries with my lord, but unexpectedly, I was captured by someone sent by Liu Cheng.
This guy is abominable, he is really abominable."
When Dong Zhuo heard that Cai Yong changed his name and called him his lord, his mouth almost split with laughter.
He was so happy that he shared his hatred and said: "Then Liu Cheng is indeed hateful and hateful.
Mr.
Cai actually suffered from our family."
What a disaster, Liu Cheng didn’t want to deal with our family, so we couldn’t do anything about him, so he just vented his anger on Mr.
But don't worry, sir, sooner or later our family will avenge you and let out a bad breath.
Let me introduce you to your husband.
This is my newly adopted son Lu Bu, named Fengxian.
He has the courage to be unstoppable.
Brave and good at fighting, invincible, Fengxian, come and see Mr.
Cai, he is a great scholar in the world, respected by the world, and has disciples all over the world."
After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Lu Bu stepped forward and clasped his fists at Cai Yong and said, "Bu has met Mr.
Cai."
Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu and couldn't help praising him: "He is indeed a peerless general.
I heard that my lord gave the general a horse called Juechen Nama.
The general likes it."
When it comes to BMWs, weapons and armors, as long as they are military generals, there is no one who is not interested.
They can pick up the topic casually.
Lu Bu said happily: "The Juechen horse is very good.
It is hundreds of times better than the horse Bu rode before.
It can travel thousands of miles in a day."
It’s no big deal, it’s really a masterpiece.”
Cai Yong looked at Lu Bu again and nodded: "Well, it is true that Lu Bu is among men and Juechen among horses.
The general has Fang Tian, the magic weapon with a painted halberd, and Juechen, the unparalleled BMW, as his mount.
Who else in the world can do this?
rival" As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu felt that he was in a state of ecstasy.
His whole body felt so transparent and comfortable from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
He did not forget to humbly say: "I don't deserve such praise from you sir."
Dong Zhuo raised his hand at the right time and said: "Okay, okay, everyone, let's go into the house together.
The banquet, singing and dancing will start soon.
Don't miss the excitement."
"Master Sikong please" A large number of people entered Dong Zhuo's mansion one after another.
Dong Zhuo held a grand banquet in the mansion.
The front yard was full.
The ministers and officials with some weight were arranged in the main hall.
Those with lower official positions and less reputation could only sit in the middle of the yard.
During the dinner, his confidants followed him to sit down in the backyard.
After the food and wine were served, the singers slowly entered the stage and danced to the sound of musical instruments.
Some stood up and toasted Dong Zhuo loudly.
Dong Zhuo was so happy that he accepted all comers.
After the banquet ended, some ministers who had only submitted to Dong Zhuo's power took the opportunity to leave.

Dong Zhuo kept some close people, including Cai Yong and Lu Bu, as well as Dong Zhuo's generals, military advisor Li Ru, and Sikong Prefect Shi.
He Yong et al.
Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone, today my son has come to serve first.
Our family has become more powerful.
We have gained thousands of Bingzhou cavalry.
Tomorrow is the day of the great court meeting.
Our family plans to take advantage of this opportunity."
Tomorrow, the power of the Great Victory will officially propose the dethronement of the throne in front of the young emperor in the court hall.
Prince Chenliu will inherit the throne, and the deposed emperor will be named King Chenliu.
What do you think?"
Dong Zhuo's confidants, generals and school officials clasped their fists and cupped their hands and said: "I hope you will follow the leader's lead."
Dong Zhuo nodded.
There was no need to question the fact that these generals and officials were headed by him.
Asking him here was just a formality, and it could be considered as a formal introduction.
He mainly wanted to see the new recruitment of Cai Yong, He Yong and others.
The reaction of celebrities.
Dong Zhuo looked at Cai Yong and asked, "Mr.
Cai, what do you think?"
Cai Yong took a sip of wine and said: "I heard that when the late emperor was still alive, he thought that the prince Bian was frivolous, frivolous, and lacked calmness.
He was not the best candidate to inherit the throne.
He thought that the prince was virtuous and spiritual and could ascend the throne as emperor.
So he ordered Jian Shuo to protect the prince association, but the death of the late emperor was too sudden.
In order not to lose their power, Zhang Rang and others However, the news was sealed and the funeral was kept secret, so that Jian Shuo was hidden.
Someone among the eunuchs had a secret conspiracy with He Jin.
After Jian Shuo was betrayed, he was killed by He Jin.
Today, His Majesty was forcibly supported by He Jin, his uncle, to ascend the throne.
Yes, it can be said that His Majesty deposed the current emperor because of his improper position, and the establishment of the Prince's Association is an act of respecting the last wishes of the late emperor and obeying the destiny of God."
Dong Zhuo slapped the table and said happily: "Okay, sir, you are indeed a gentleman.
What he said made our family enlightened.
What he said was so good.
Let's give him a toast."
Cai Yong picked up the wine cup and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
After having a drink, Dong Zhuo put down the wine cup and frowned and said: "Tomorrow we want to depose the emperor at the court meeting in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to change the throne to King Chenliu.
You should know that the palace is now in the palace."
Under the control of the right general Liu Cheng , Our family only has less than a thousand guards in the palace.
If we want to depose the emperor, our family must lead troops to Quefei Palace and use force to force Liu Cheng to agree, but how can we lead troops into Nangong?
Liu Cheng's Yu Lin Jun and Huben Jun are not just decorations."
Li Ru stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, after my subordinates' hard work during this period, this matter is not difficult anymore."
Dong Zhuo said hurriedly: "Oh, what can I do?
Wen You can tell me quickly."
"This" Li Ru hesitated, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Cai Yong, He Yong and several other celebrities recruited by Dong Zhuo.
Seeing this, Dong Zhuo knew what he meant, waved his hand and said: "Wen You, don't worry, since these gentlemen have joined our family, our family cannot treat them as outsiders.
Although the time for gentlemen to join our family is still short, gentlemen They are all famous people, how could they ruin their reputation and tip off others?"

Seven or eight scribes, including Cai Yong, He Yong, Wu Qiong, and Zhou Se, all bowed to Dong Zhuo and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir."
Li Ru immediately said: "If we want to lead troops into the palace to force Liu Cheng to agree to abolish Li Li, we will need at least three thousand elite soldiers.
At the same time, we need to send troops and horses to contain the Northern Army so that they cannot rescue the palace.
If the guards The Yulin Army and the Huben Army at the palace gate Knowing that the palace gate is in danger, we will not be able to attack it in a short time, so my subordinates have sent people to bribe Liu Cheng's people these days.
Early tomorrow morning, as long as you take your troops to Nangong, someone will be there to help you.
Entering the Nangong Quefei Hall with the army."
"Hahaha, okay, I didn't expect Wenyou to be ready a long time ago" Dong Zhuo beamed with joy
