After Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo became even more arrogant and domineering, constantly trying to harass the ministers in Luoyang City. The most miserable person now is Cao Cao. I don’t know how Dong Zhuo found him. Now that Cao Cao has accepted Dong Zhuo as a soldier, he can only go to work every day. However, Dong Zhuo also knows that Cao Cao has secretly occupied two states and does not dare to If you force him too much, you have to use gentle methods to deal with him!
"Haha, do you think these aristocratic families are more honest now after our destruction? It's time for us to really establish our authority!" Dong Zhuo laughed.
"Follow the Grand Master's instructions in everything you do!"
"Okay. Haha!" Dong Zhuo laughed, and his mind was already wandering. He first deposed the young emperor, then made King Chenliu the emperor, and then slowly stole the throne himself. It was just a pity for the Queen Mother He. Thinking of this Dong Zhuo had another It was a burst of heat, "You go and get ready first, I will go to the palace to see the little emperor! Haha" Dong Zhuo said with a smile, making everyone burst into laughter. As for what Dong Zhuo was going to do, this group of people knew it, and there were even many Generals also often wandered around the harem!
Empress Dowager He is the most miserable person recently. There is no one among them. Her short-sightedness and Shi Changshi killed He Jin at the beginning. Since then, she has lost her freedom. First, she was played by Yuan Shao for a long time. She just left the wolf's den, and now She fell into the tiger's mouth again. In order to keep Liu Bian's throne, she begged the ministers of the court in various ways, but it was a pity that they took advantage of them in vain. Now Queen Mother He often serves Dong Zhuo and those generals, just hoping to get a chance , so every time Dong Zhuo entered the palace, she would work particularly hard, but unfortunately she was in vain.
There were many loyal people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty, but unfortunately no one was Lu Bu's opponent, anyone who wanted to attack Dong Zhuo. Without exception, they were all killed by Lu Bu. Only Cao Cao almost succeeded. It turned out that Cao Cao planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately Lu Bu broke through. Cao Cao quickly said that he was offering his sword, and then took the opportunity to escape from Luoyang, and then ran all the way back to Chenliu, and After Xia Houyuan and others gathered together, they went to Xuchang to gather troops!
"Everyone, let me say it again, the young emperor Liu Bian is not suitable to be the emperor, and King Chen Liu is more suitable! I have decided to do what Huo Guang Yin Yi did, depose the young emperor, and make King Chen Liu the emperor!" Dong Zhuo was in the main hall! He said, completely ignoring Queen Mother He's pale face and angry expression.
"Your Majesty has no fault of his own, so how can he just abolish it?" Yuan Huai said earnestly. Relying on the Yuan family's power, he repeatedly contradicted Dong Zhuo and found that Dong Zhuo had not attacked him. He was even more convinced that Dong Zhuo was afraid of him!
"Old man, I'm not afraid that the Yuan family won't kill you. I just see that you are a sensible person, so I kept you. Don't think that I really don't dare to kill you!" Dong Zhuo looked normal and filled with murderous intent. He said, immediately silencing Yuan Huai, Wang Yun and others, and no longer dared to say another word.
"The matter is settled. From now on, Liu Bian will be demoted to King Chenliu, and Liu Xie will be the emperor. Let's call him Emperor Xian!" Dong Zhuo laughed, and then began to summon the world to let everyone know that Dong Zhuo is now the emperor. world. The officials dared not speak out in anger, and since Liu Bian was indeed unsuitable, they had no choice but to agree. After all, they were all descendants of the Ling Emperor. I heard that the Ling Emperor originally wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince.
"The Empress Dowager He conspired to kill the Empress Dowager Dong, which is treason. How can such a person respect the world? So please ask the Empress Dowager He to accompany Chen Liu Wang Liu Bian to the fiefdom!" Dong Zhuo smiled lewdly and dismissed the two people. His fate has been arranged, and everyone can hear what Dong Zhuo means, that is, Queen Mother He has become his forbidden love!
At this time, Queen Mother He did not say too much. She looked around at these court officials coldly, and then sneered. Her disdain for them and her helplessness made the ministers blush. In the end, He The Queen Mother crashed to death in the Wende Palace, making everyone feel ashamed. Even Dong Zhuo did not expect that she would suddenly become so strong, so he could only say secretly that it was a pity! Now that his face was broken, Dong Zhuo no longer pretended to be kind, and directly took Liu Bian down and helped Liu Xie to the throne!
"Guo Si, send King Chen Liu back!" Dong Zhuo gave Guo Si a look. Guo Si immediately understood that since Queen Mother He is dead, the grass must be removed, so Liu Bian cannot stay. Since mother and son Since their love is deep, it is better for them to be together!
Dong Zhuo spread the news of the abolition to the world, officially promoted Liu Xie to the throne of emperor, and the Han Dynasty kicked off a new beginning. When the news reached Jizhou, Yuan Shao could not bear it at first, and directly led his army To kill Luoyang, he wanted to clear the emperor's side. At the same time, Yuan Shao also issued an edict to the world, hoping that everyone would go to Luoyang to escort him. For a while, those who had ideas or who really wanted to fight for the Han Dynasty all led their troops to kill Luoyang.
After Cao Cao heard the news, he immediately led 50,000 troops to Luoyang with Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others. Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, Gong Sun Zan and others also took the opportunity to lead troops to seize the opportunity. Even Ma Teng couldn't stand it and personally led troops to attack. Luoyang, here in Luoyang, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, had just ascended the throne. Before he could get the job, Dong Zhuo made a large number of marquises. Almost everyone under his command was granted the title of marquis, except Li Su, who was not promoted. This made Lu Bu laugh endlessly and often used this Things ridiculed Li Su and made him secretly hate Dong Zhuo.
"Haha, with everyone's help, I think we will be able to capture Luoyang quickly and eliminate Dong Zhuo!" Yuan Shao was in a good mood, but he didn't expect that his Yuan family still had a high status in the hearts of this group of people.
"General Yuan's great righteousness is really admirable. Although we have a small army but few generals, we still have to contribute to the country!" Cao Cao laughed and pushed Yuan Shao in front as a shield. Cao Cao secretly benefited. This is his ultimate goal!
"Well, you're welcome, generals!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed with his success and wanted to save face the most. Cao Cao's few words made him a little overwhelmed!
"As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. With so many of us united, chaos will easily occur. How about we choose an alliance leader?" Han Fu said with a smile, while secretly looking at Yuan Shao with his eyes, and found that this guy really had a happy face. The happiest person to hear this was actually Yuan Shu. He led quite a few troops, and he was the legitimate son of the Yuan family. I think the position of alliance leader was his!
"Well, the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yuan family have disciples and old officials all over the world. All the elders are highly virtuous and respected by scholars all over the world. This time, it is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu who took the lead in raising troops to oppose Dong Zhuo's atrocities. In addition, General Yuan Shao once served in Luoyang After staying for a period of time, I protected the safety of the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother, so I think it is better for General Yuan Shao to take over the position of leader of the alliance!" Kong Rong said, this Kong Rong is a descendant of Saint Kong, and he is also a well-known big man. The literary giant was very prestigious in the eyes of all literati at that time, and his words could largely influence some people's thoughts.
"That's right, that's right! Yuan Benchu is talented in literature and martial arts, and he knows Luoyang's military deployment. He is indeed the best candidate to lead the alliance!" As a die-hard fan of Yuan Shao, Han Fu quickly said,
"I also agree with Yuan Shao as the leader!" Cao Cao spoke at the right time. As the most powerful soldier present, Cao Cao's right to speak is still very important. His attitude determines the choices of many people here! When the others saw that the most powerful people had reached an agreement, there was no need for them to cause any further discomfort, so they immediately agreed to Yuan Shao's status as leader of the alliance, which made Yuan Shu secretly unhappy and very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao for suppressing him. , but he had no other choice. Now that Yuan Shao was powerful, he could only obey the arrangements honestly.
In this way, this group of people formed an alliance under the pretext of attacking Dong Zhuo, with a total of eighteen princes. The latter generals include Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, and Chen The governor of Liuzhou is Zhang Miao, the governor of Dongjun is Qiao Mao, the governor of Shanyang is Yuan Yi, the prime minister of Jibei is Bao Xin, the governor of Beihai is Kong Rong, the governor of Guangling is Zhang Chao, the governor of Beiping is Gongsun Zan, the governor of Shangdang is Zhang Yang, the governor of Changsha is Sun Jian and Qi. Yuan Shao, governor of Bohai Province, Cao Cao, governor of Xiliang, Ma Teng, governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. In order to enhance their prestige, these eighteen people all gave themselves official positions. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was still good to fool the soldiers and people below!
When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was still exercising on the emperor's dragon bed. After hearing this, he slapped the woman next to him out. Dong Zhuo's eyes were cold. He didn't expect that these people would really dare to Going against himself really made him unhappy!
"Go find Li Ru and the others, and let's discuss countermeasures! Call the ministers from the court. I want to see if they have colluded with Yuan Shao and others!" Dong Zhuo said with murderous intent, which shocked Lu Bu. He glanced greedily at the woman under Dong Zhuo, and then walked out, leaving waves of heavy breathing and screams in the hall!
"Yuan Shao, it's that bastard Yuan Shao again!" Dong Zhuo was roaring. This guy had already caused him a lot of trouble, and now he has become a climate, leading hundreds of thousands of people to block Hulao Pass. It's really frustrating. People were angry. What Dong Zhuo feared most was actually the reputation of the Yuan family. If they were allowed to incite people all over the world to resist him, it would be troublesome! "You guys go and kill that old guy Yuan Huai and his family!" Dong Zhuo said to Guo Bang, which surprised everyone. It seems that this guy is going to start killing people!
"Yes, Grand Master!" Guo Bang said excitedly. As long as the house is ransacked, it means there are a lot of gold and silver treasures. I think I can make a fortune this time! Watching Guo Bang walk out, Lu Bu couldn't bear it. After all, he was not that cruel. If they were fighting on the battlefield, Lu Bu could still kill him. But Lu Bu was really not used to attacking this old, weak woman and child!
"Uncle!" Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cried loudly, looking at the gray-haired head in front of them. Their hatred for Dong Zhuo was overwhelming. If everyone hadn't cried and persuaded them, they would have fought with Dong Zhuo no matter what.
"General Yuan, please express your condolences!" Liu Bei advised. As an old acquaintance in Jizhou, Liu Bei still had some face. Coupled with the face of Guan Yu and others and Yan Liangwen Chou, Liu Bei spoke.
"Who are you?" Before Yuan Shao could say anything, Yuan Shu next to him spoke up,
"My Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are Emperor Xiaojing..."
"Okay, I got it, Lu Zhi's top student is Liu Bei!" Liu Bei was interrupted by Yuan Shu before he finished speaking, which made Liu Bei's face darken and he felt unhappy!
Yuan Shu glanced at Liu Bei with some resentment. His brother is grieving here. What do you want to do here? It's not your uncle who died. Of course you don't feel bad. You must know that this is the Yuan family in Luoyang. Internal Ying, now that Yuan Huai is dead, it will do great harm to his own plan!
"Generals, since you are all here, I, Yuan Shao, will not say much. The reason for sending troops this time is firstly family hatred, and secondly, national hatred. I, Yuan Shao, am here to thank all the generals!" Yuan Shao said and gave a big salute. Let others return the favor quickly. No matter what the reason is, we can finally send troops now. As long as we can send troops, we will have a chance to invade Luoyang!
"I ordered Sun Jian to be the vanguard officer to lead his troops to call for formation, Yuan Shu to be the grain transportation inspector, responsible for the dispatch of grain and fodder for the army, and the other troops to join the formation. I want to see how powerful Dong Zhuo is!" Yuan Shao shouted, he had also seen Dong Zhuo's To be honest, his commanding ability is not very good. It's just a pity that his general Yan Liangwen Chou is not here, otherwise this pioneer officer would be theirs!
"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Sun Jian's eyes lit up. He had a chance to attack, so that he could enter Luoyang. Sun Jian had a feeling in his heart that his Luoyang team would definitely gain something!
Sun Jian led his troops to show off their power and directly attacked Dong Zhuo's front army. Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen was drinking and having fun. Suddenly he heard that Sun Jian was leading his troops to attack. He hurried forward to check and saw Sun Jian and four generals marching together. The neat momentum and pace surprised the Xiliang army who was used to being lazy.
"Quickly, organize a defense!" Hu Zhen shouted. Sun Jian came too quickly. He didn't even prepare the formation. Just when Hu Zhen shouted, Sun Jian launched an attack. This group of soldiers were all Sun Jian's elite. He specially selected those who are good at fighting. Now with Sun Jian taking the lead, they are even more powerful in fighting! As soon as the two sides came into contact, Sun Jian swung his broadsword and killed several people in a row. Hu Zhen was furious and came to fight with Sun Jian in person. After two rounds, Sun Jian knocked the spear out of his hand, so he had to lead the people back. Sun Jian stopped chasing and snatching them away. In Hu Zhen's camp, he found that Hu Zhen's food and wine were still warm, so he sat down and started eating. Hu Zhen, who was far away, was shocked when he saw it. He no longer dared to fight Sun Jian, and hurriedly fled back to Hulao Pass. This first line of defense was given to Sun Jian in vain.
"Trash! Is that Sun Jian so powerful? I take it you don't dare to fight?" Dong Zhuo said angrily. He was really speechless for this guy Hu Zhen. He was defeated before he even made a move. It was really speechless.
"Grand Master, calm down. This Sun Jian is indeed very brave. When he first dealt with the Yellow Turban Army, he was known as the Tiger of the East of the Yangtze River. Now it is even more difficult to deal with the strong soldiers and horses!" Li Ru said.
"It's difficult to deal with? Then we won't deal with it?" Dong Zhuo said angrily
"I have a plan to subdue Sun Jian without any bloodshed. Then the grand master can recruit another tiger general!" Li Ru said with a smile.
"Oh! Tell me!" Dong Zhuo was more interested in this. It would be much easier if he could subdue Sun Jian.
"Isn't this Sun Jian claiming to be the governor of Changsha? Then my lord will give him Changsha. Anyway, Changsha is in Liu Biao's hands now and he can't take it away. My lord can choose any palace maid to recognize as his daughter. I will go and match her to give him Sun Jian's son." , this way we can disintegrate them!" Li Ru said with a smile.
"So easy? What if Sun Jian doesn't agree to the marriage?" Dong Zhuo frowned and said, always feeling that things would not be so simple.
"Even if he refuses, it will still arouse the suspicion of the Allies. You must know that the Yuan brothers are not such generous people!" Li Ru said with a smile.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Just order some gifts and go over!" Dong Zhuo said with a smile, already imagining the moment when he conquered Sun Jian. Seeing Li Ru go out, Jia Xu had a sneer on his face. He was not optimistic about Li Ru's plan, so he secretly sent people to Yuan Shu's camp to spread rumors about Sun Jian!
Different from Dong Zhuo's side, Yuan Shao was very happy. Sun Jian fought brilliantly in the first battle. He scared Hu Zhen away without spending many men. He was really outstanding. Yuan Shao was also impressed by Sun Jian. Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were the only ones who were not very happy, because they did not take the opportunity to promote themselves, and the other was because Sun Jian had become famous and it was difficult for them to control him!
"Yuan Shu listens to the order, the army's food and fodder must be well controlled, and the Xiliang army must not let the Xiliang army steal the opportunity!" Yuan Shao said with a smile, now that the momentum of the Allied forces is high, it is time to move forward.
Just as the Allied forces were setting off, Sun Jian also received an uninvited guest. Li Ru expressed his thoughts and then looked at Sun Jian. He thought Sun Jian would definitely agree. After all, this was a good opportunity to reach the top in one step. It's a pity that he chose the wrong target.
"Go away! How can a dog girl be worthy of a tiger cub!" Sun Jian shouted, "If it weren't for the sake of not killing the envoys when the two countries are at war, I would have killed you long ago. Now I have the right to keep your dog head and go back to send a message to Dong Zhuo. , let him wash his neck and wait for me to kill him!"
"You..." Li Ru was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. He finally came up with a plan, but Sun Jian scolded him for his groveling words. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned blue!
"What are you doing? Don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't get out!" Sun Jian shouted, his eyes narrowed. Now he had murderous intent. As long as Li Ru dared to talk nonsense again, he would never be allowed to leave the camp alive!
"Huh!" Li Ru snorted coldly and ran away. When he returned to Luoyang, he was still covered in cold sweat and hated Sun Jian. After returning, he complained about Sun Jian's unreasonableness to Dong Zhuo, making Jia Xu secretly sneer. As for Dong Zhuo's sullen expression, he seemed very angry!
"Father! Just let me send troops, I'm sorry they are no match for me!" Lu Bu said. Before Dong Zhuo could say anything, Hua Xiong laughed and said, "You can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. Marquis Wen is in this high position." Sit down, I will bring all the soldiers and horses to kill them, and I can kill all these eighteen trash!"
"Haha, yes, we don't need Marquis Wen to take action, we can just go!" Guo Si and others also said that these people are all people who drink blood. Now that they finally have the opportunity to fight, they are even more excited than the last one!
"Okay, let Hua Xiong go out to fight. If nothing else, you have to defeat Sun Jian first!" Dong Zhuo said
"Don't worry, Grand Master, I will decide Sun Jian's head!" Hua Xiong said firmly.
