The soldiers and horses led by Niu Fu were different from those near Luoyang.
When Dong Zhuo first entered the capital, he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses, but because of the right time, he completely brought He Jin and He Miao's soldiers and horses under his command, and was able to take control of the court.
There is no problem with these soldiers and horses defending Luoyang, but it would be too reluctant to let them fight Zhu Jun or assassinate the emperor.
These soldiers and horses have only been under Dong Zhuo's command for a few months. How could Dong Zhuo use them with confidence?
Although Dong Zhuo later called his troops from Xiliang, he caught up with Zhu Jun and raised troops.
Niu Fu took most of the Xiliang soldiers away to fight with Zhu Jun.
This resulted in Dong Zhuo not having many generals and troops around him. What if he sent these people to assassinate the emperor and was attacked by others?
Dong Zhuo knows better than anyone how hated he is in the eyes of some people.
"Why wait for my adoptive father? Bu is willing to attack Liu Bian and take his head to calm his adoptive father's anger."
Lu Bu quickly stood up and said that he was useful.
Before Dong Zhuo could speak, Jia Xu stood up.
"Absolutely not!"
Dong Zhuo looked back at Jia Xu.
"Um?"
"This must not be done. If the Grand Master wants to vent his anger, all he has to do is wait for the army to enter the city in three days. The Grand Master will lead his ministers to the east gate to greet them. He will take the opportunity to send a group of soldiers and horses to enter through the west gate and take advantage of the chaos to kill. Enter the palace and kill Liu Bian's child, it would be too conspicuous at this time."
After listening to Jia Xu's words, Dong Zhuo nodded. This was also his original thought.
When the victorious army returned to the court, Dong Zhuo went to greet him with all his civil and military officials. This was normal.
At this time, a group of thieves broke into the empty palace. What does it have to do with Dong Zhuo?
As long as this team is cleaned up by then, who knows where these people are from?
Dong Zhuo doesn't need to hide it from everyone at all, he just needs to give an explanation to most people.
How dare those court officials investigate?
Just when Dong Zhuo was furious, a young general quickly ran into the room and handed a secret letter to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo opened the secret letter casually. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he looked at it, the more gloomy he became. Finally he threw the secret letter out, then pulled out his sword and cut the desk in front of him in half.
"Yuan Shao, how dare you raise an army to attack me!"
Jia Xu stepped forward and picked up the letter. After looking at it twice, his expression became extremely serious. After a long time, he handed the letter to Lu Bu.
"Yuan Shao rebelled!"
In fact, before the battle between Dong Zhuo and Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao of Bohai County had recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers.
When Yuan Shao first arrived in Bohai County, the locals heard that Yuan Shao was recruiting troops, and all the local aristocratic families responded. In just a few months, the army had grown to such a scale.
Yuan Shao originally did not have so much money and food, but because Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, gave Yuan Shao a lot of money and food, Yuan Shao was able to form an army.
Then using the Yuan family's reputation, these people were assembled into an army at an extremely fast speed, and it has already reached a large scale.
The eighteen princes from Guandong Prefecture and County gathered here.
Yuan Shao said in a deep voice while sitting on the high platform.
"Everyone, the Han Dynasty is in misfortune. The emperor has lost his authority. The traitor Dong Zhuo has taken advantage of provocations and indulged in harm, causing harm to the Supreme Being. He has tortured the people, Shao and others. Fearing the loss of the country, they have gathered volunteers to fight against the national calamity. We, our allies, will work together. , to achieve the integrity of ministers, there must be no two ambitions. Anyone who exceeds this alliance will be destroyed by heaven and earth. The emperor, the queen, the earth, the ancestors are wise, and everyone will learn from this fact."
"Reviving the Han Dynasty!"
"I order Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, to be the vanguard and march to Sishui Pass. The army will set off soon and march to Luoyang!"
In the first year of Chuping, the officials of the prefectures and counties in Guandong elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, leading the chariot and cavalry generals to attack Dong Zhuo.
Later generals: Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Prefect Kong Niao, Yanzhou Prefect Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin , Beihai Prefect Kong Rong,
Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, the Marquis of Wucheng, Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, the Marquis of Qixiang, Cao Cao, the Xiaoqi captain, Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou.
A total of eighteen princes raised troops to attack Dong, and people from all over the world gathered to respond.
In just two months, hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered, and news of the army quickly spread throughout the world.
"Brother, we only have a few hundred troops. How can Yuan Shao's army use us?"
"Second brother, third brother, we raised the army just to help the Han Dynasty, and we have fought bloody battles to this day. Now that the Han Dynasty is weakening, and Dong Zhuo is causing trouble in the government, as long as we can eliminate the violence and make peace, I am willing to go, even if it is just my three brothers!"
"Brother!"
"Second brother!"
"Brother!"
"Third brother!"
The three brothers hugged each other, then separated again, walking towards the camp.
When they reached the camp gate, the leader dismounted and saluted the guards.
"Please also report to Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, Queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, to come to join the alliance."
……………
"good!"
Lin Mu looked at the letter on the table and couldn't help but say hello.
The eighteen princes rose up against Dong, which was great.
The leader of these princes is Yuan Shao, and Yuan Wei, as Yuan Shao's uncle, is still in Luoyang City.
Yuan Shao's move was no less than Ma Chao's.
Lin Mu smiled, put down the letter in his hand, and looked east. Today is the day when Niu Fu returns to court.
Under Dong Zhuo's power, many ministers of the court went to the east gate to congratulate Dong Zhuo. Today's court meeting was a bit deserted.
Lin Mu looked at the setting sun on the horizon, sat on the dragon chair, picked up a piece of preserved fruit and ate it.
At this moment, a figure hurriedly ran in from outside the palace. Lin Mu took a closer look and realized that this person was entering from the side.
"Your Majesty, it's not good! Grand Tutor Yuan Wei was sent into the palace by Dong Zhuo's troops."
Lin Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.
Yes, he already knew it, how could Dong Zhuo not know it.
Although Yuan Wei is now the head of the Yuan family, the Tutor is far inferior to the Emperor.
No one in the Han Dynasty dared to kill openly, but the Tutor was different.
What's more, now that Yuan Shao has rebelled against Dong, it has given Dong Zhuo an excellent reason, and Dong Zhuo will naturally not be polite.
But logically speaking, the person Dong Zhuo hates more should be himself. Didn't Dong Zhuo take any action today?
At this moment, a voice penetrated into the hall.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
Lin Mu walked out of the palace after hearing the sound and saw that Xiyuan was already on fire. Countless guards ran towards Xiyuan to put out the fire. Bian Jin saw this and ran towards Xiyuan to put out the fire.
Xiyuan was originally a garden for tourists to visit, but since the palace was robbed twice, there was a lack of staff in the palace and no energy to continue to take care of Xiyuan. Now it is overgrown with weeds and almost no one goes to Xiyuan. How could Xiyuan be flooded? ?
Before Lin Mu could think about it, he saw black smoke coming out of the Zhuque Tower in front of the main hall.
There were two fires in the palace in a short period of time, and Lin Mu realized that something was wrong.
Black smoke erupted from another palace, and the entire palace was now filled with black smoke.
Countless guards wanted to put out the fire, but they couldn't.
At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses wearing armor appeared in front of Lin Mu.
These soldiers and horses were full of murderous aura, and they looked like they had just come off the battlefield.
No one made a sound in the entire army, they just silently rushed towards Lin Mu.
After Lin Mu saw the soldiers and horses, he immediately understood why the palace was on fire.
"Finally some fun..."
Lin Mu took off his dragon robe and threw it out, revealing two axes hidden at his waist.
