While Dong Zhuo was still distressed and angry, Li Ru saw his father-in-law looking so angry and said: "Master Governor, don't panic."
"I have a plan to defeat Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo: "Since you have a solution, why don't you tell me quickly?"
Li Ru: "We can tell the outside world that the Queen and the Young Emperor are dead and died in this conflict."
"Moreover, the Queen and the Young Emperor were killed by Shi Changshi and the others, and even General He Jin was killed by Shi Changshi and the others."
"Then, just order the soldiers to gather all the corpses in one place and burn them. If the minister asks, he will say that it will cause plague in the summer, so the corpses will be burned."
"As for the one sitting on the dragon throne now, he should be King Chenliu. But it doesn't matter, he is the real young emperor now."
"And the governor, you just need to make him obey."
Li Ru was indeed a top strategist, and he changed their current situation with just a few words. This also made Dong Zhuo trust and admire him very much, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to do as Li Ru said.
For a time, the entire city of Luoyang fell into great panic. All the ministers were waiting at home for the possible reckoning, but Dong Zhuo was not stupid enough to offend all the ministers.
All this seems to be within Wang Yun and Ding Yuan's plan, and there are almost no major changes.
And outside Luoyang City, on the way to Youzhou. The killers arranged by Yuan Shu have long been ambushing Zhang Rang and the young emperor on the path they must take.
It was also 300 men versus 300 men, but the strength of these 300 men under Yuan Shu was much stronger than that of the Yulin Army. Basically, each of them had the strength of a second-rate general.
These people all purchased from the system and were different from ordinary soldiers. Their prices are naturally different, and they are also the existence that Yuan Shu regards as his secret hands.
Just, if anyone knows them. You will find that they are the waiters in the restaurant that Yuan Shu opened before and those who often go to the restaurant to spend money. It turns out that these people were bought by Yuan Shu in the previous restaurant to prevent people from causing trouble.
There are nearly ten thousand people like this. Even Jia Xu and Cheng Yu didn't know that they had the strength of second-rate generals because they had never made a move.
At this moment, Young Emperor Liu Bian said: "Eunuch Zhang, are you saying that my queen mother is already waiting for me in Youzhou?"
"Can I see my queen mother when I get to Youzhou?"
Faced with Young Emperor Liu Bian's question, Zhang Rang replied perfunctorily: "Yes, the Queen has already arrived at Youzhou City before you."
"As long as your Majesty arrives in Youzhou City, you will naturally be able to see the Queen."
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Luoyang. Apart from seeing thick smoke billowing, there was nothing else.
He knew that if it was the queen's temperament. Now he is in danger, and maybe he is still alive. But what exactly happened, he didn't know.
At this time, Yuan Shu's ambush men came out of the woods and said: "Robbery, hand over all the valuable things you have."
"Don't leave anything behind, not even your clothes."
Each of these people had their faces covered, but the clothes they wore were indeed very similar to those worn by the robbers. At this time, the commander of the Yulin Guard immediately protected the carriage in which Zhang Rang and Young Emperor Liu Bian were riding behind him.
He took out his weapon and said, "Who dares to rob us?"
No wonder he had the confidence to say these words, because the three hundred feather forest guards they led were all the elite among the elite. They are not afraid of these mere mountain thieves at all, because they are confident enough in their own strength.
At this time, Zhang Rang also said: "Hurry up and kill all these thieves without leaving a single one behind."
"We can't waste time here."
Zhang Rang also knew very well that they were not out of danger yet. As long as they did not arrive in Youzhou for a day, they would still be in danger.
After receiving Zhang Rang's order, the leader of the Yulin Army also led his men to kill him. But after just one fight, he discovered something was wrong.
The opponent, a thief, actually had the same strength as him. So he immediately said: "You are not ordinary thieves and robbers. Who are you?"
"Sir, we were ambushed. They are not ordinary people."
But by this time, more than a dozen of his men were dead. And Zhang Rang also pulled the young emperor to jump out of the carriage and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
It's just that the old man and the young man didn't run very fast, and the young emperor fell down midway.
As for the leader of the bandits, he did not answer the question of the leader of the Yulin Army. Instead, he and several companions directly attacked him from all sides and killed him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, none of the Yulin troops who emerged from the Luoyang Palace were dead.
Naturally, Zhang Rang and Young Emperor were killed before they could escape far.
Then the leader among them said: "Hurry up and take out what you have prepared in advance. You guys will take off their clothes and money."
"Then come here immediately and hide everything. Enter Luoyang City through the four gates separately. Remember not to travel in groups."
After the leader finished speaking, the bandits carried out many corpses from the woods. They were then placed in different positions to cover up the feeling of these two sides fighting to the death.
It also lets everyone know that someone is killing them for money and life. It has always diverted the attention of those who are interested in order to protect themselves.
After everything was taken care of, they disappeared into the woods. It was as if it had never happened before, and the matter was finally over.
At this moment in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru: "What should we do now? Now that we have not found the young emperor and the queen, I feel uneasy."
After all, Dong Zhuo still felt that he was not at ease enough. He always believed that he should eradicate the root cause so as not to create hidden dangers for himself.
Moreover, now the Young Emperor and Queen He are missing. It is very disadvantageous for him, after all, the influence of the big man has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Now, he still can't completely feel at ease.
Li Ru: "Don't panic, Governor, King Chenliu is in our hands now."
"Tomorrow we can have hundreds of civil and military officials go to court to announce that the young emperor and the queen were killed by the eunuchs."
"Then make King Chenliu the emperor and ask him to make you the prime minister. By then, your Excellency will be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
"And we also have soldiers and horses at hand. Even if the minister is dissatisfied, he will not dare to blatantly oppose you, your lord."
After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo also swept away the previous gloom and uneasiness. He also decided on this matter very quickly, and then asked his subordinates to inform all the ministers door to door.
After Cao Cao received the news, he cursed angrily: "You deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors. This Dong Zhuo is really not a son of man!"
"I hate that I am young and powerless and cannot compete with him."
"Where is the future of the big man?"
At this moment, Cao Cao's true feelings were revealed. It's a pity that he can't do anything about it. After all, Dong Zhuo has the final say in Luoyang now.
After Yuan Wei received the news, he didn't say anything. But he had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally made up his mind to wait for his nephew Yuan Shu to send someone to pick him up.
He wanted to leave Luoyang and never participate in court affairs again.
As for Wang Yun and Ding Yuan, they just lamented that Dong Zhuo was too ambitious. I want to hold the ministers hostage and make them obey, but there is no way now.
After all, Dong Zhuo respects his own troops and still has the bargaining chip they are afraid of. None of them dared to act rashly and could only endure it for the time being.
Wang Yun: "Let's hold back for a while. Only after your army surrounds Luoyang can we have the right to negotiate with Dong Zhuo."
"I just hope he doesn't go crazy, otherwise you and I will be in danger."
Helpless, Ding Yuan could only temporarily agree to this suggestion. After all, Dong Zhuo now controls the entire city of Luoyang, and their life and death are naturally involved.
At Cai Yong's home, after receiving the message, Cai Yong said to his wife Zhao Wuniang: "Pack all your things first, and then go to Nanyang to attend the wedding banquet of your virtuous son-in-law in a few days."
"As for Luoyang City, we can never stay here any longer."
"I just hope Dong Zhuo doesn't trap us here. As for those valuables, I won't take them with me."
At this moment, Cai Yong's eyes were full of disappointment. Now he thinks that the big man is powerless and traitors are in power.
The Young Emperor and the Queen are also dead, and now it's just a thief controlling this puppet to order these ministers.
And this is indeed the case, the rule of the Han Dynasty has come to an end at this moment.
At this time, Yuan Shao's troops were still three to five days away from Luoyang, and he had no idea what was going on in Luoyang City.
Now Yuan Shu still fantasizes that he can work with the general He Jin to exterminate those eunuchs, and the Qing Dynasty can make great achievements.
However, all this is definitely not going to make him wish.
Dong Zhuo, with the help of Li Ru, subdued all He Jin's original troops. Although it's not a lot, it's better than letting them get into trouble.
Then came the threat to King Chenliu. After all, a child under ten years old will not dare to disobey as long as you are fierce enough.
And Yuan Shu, although far away in Luoyang. He also knew about the death of the young emperor, which allowed his plan to be further implemented.
And all of this will be blamed on Dong Zhuo, and no one will know that the Young Emperor's fourth son is related to him.
Not even Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. In this matter, except Yuan Shu, they are the ones who performed the task. And they will rot everything in their stomachs, and no one will know.
