Lu Bu successfully seized power and led his troops to surrender to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed!
"Oh! Zhuo Jin got the general like a drought-stricken seedling getting dew!"
To surrender as a general, you must have the consciousness of being a surrendered general. If you don't show loyalty, how can you make people trust you?
Lu Bu was very self-aware, "Lü Bu has been idle for half his life. He only regrets that he has never met his master. If the prince does not abandon him, he is willing to worship him as his adoptive father."
Dong Zhuo was very happy. This Lu Bu was indeed the one he liked. He knew the current affairs well and knew how to advance and retreat. He was immediately happy to accept his adopted son, "Haha... I must be a hero gifted by the gods! My son, get up! My son, get up soon." !”
"My adoptive father is here. From now on, my son will follow his adoptive father through fire and water. He will help his adoptive father at any time and work together to achieve a great cause."
All are happy.
The two successfully completed the exchange of Bu successfully integrated into the Dong Zhuo Group, and Dong Zhuo successfully annexed Ding Yuan's legacy.
If she was unhappy, it was only Yuan.
In Yuan Shao's hands are only his brother Yuan Shu's Huben Army and his own Sili Xiaowei Army.
The strength has been judged.
Yuan Shao made a plan and made wedding clothes for others.
# Today, at a different time and at the same place, Dong Zhuo once again hosted a banquet to discuss the abolition of the throne. No one expected that the court would be controlled by a Xiliang warrior.
Before discussing the abolition, Dong Zhuo also asked Li Ru, what did the King of Hejian mean?
Li Ru replied: "The best answer is that the King of Hejian does not express his position."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Lord, based on my understanding of that person, he definitely knows everything about Luoyang. The reason why he is standing still is because he acquiesces in what we are doing now."
Dong Zhuo was speechless after hearing this. If it was true as Li Ru said, Luoyang was controlled by him and also by that person. What was that person planning? If Dong Zhuo couldn't figure it out, he would stop thinking about it and just do the things in front of him first.
"Everyone! The emperor is weak now and cannot worship the ancestral temple. I will follow the stories of Yi Yin and Huo Guang to depose the emperor as King Hongnong and establish King Chenliu as emperor. Anyone who does not follow will be killed!"
Different from the previous days, Dong Zhuo, who controlled most of the military power, became more aggressive now and was no longer as polite as before.
At this time, Lu Bu walked in with his soldiers holding a halberd, and surrounded all the civil and military , Lu Bu stood beside Dong Zhuo holding a halberd.
Ferocious!
All the civil and military ministers were afraid of Dong Zhuo's lustful power and dared not speak out in anger.
Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and ministers who cared about the Han Dynasty, or careerists who thought about the fight between snipe and clam, wrote to the King of Hejian more than once, hoping that he could lead his troops into Luoyang and save everyone from the fire and water.
Compared to Dong Zhuo, everyone was more willing to sit down and talk with the King of Hejian.
However, all the letters are like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and there is no news. No one can understand or guess. This person has the strongest sense of existence, but also appears to be the weakest. No matter how Luoyang fights, he doesn't care, as if it has nothing to do with him. .
Yuan regretted more than once her suggestion of ordering foreign troops to march into Luoyang to serve the king. But at first the King of Hejian was eyeing him and put too much pressure on him. Now it is difficult to get off the tiger.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Dong Zhuo was determined. At this moment, Yuan Shao spoke: "Today, the imperial court has just decided to call you and others to the capital to help the emperor and stabilize the common people. But you have repeatedly made unreasonable suggestions to abolish the direct chief. And establishing a concubine, isn’t it a deliberate attempt to rebel?”
He is not reconciled! He had been planning the plan for several years, but the fat man in front of him took the fruit of it. If he didn't fight against it, Yuan's reputation would be gone!
Dong Zhuo had long disliked Yuan Shao. He had used him to put pressure on the ten permanent servants, causing He Jin and them both to suffer losses. If he hadn't arrived in time, Luoyang would have become his Yuan family's world!
Now, most of the military power in Luoyang is in his own hands, and only the Yuan brothers are left. How can he allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Dong Zhuo will take advantage of today to attack Yuan Shao, "The world's affairs are mine. I am doing it now. Who can do it?" Dare you disobey?" "Hmph! The affairs of the world depend on the emperor and all the loyal ministers. You? You are just a usurper, so what will happen to you?"
Compared with bickering, how could a Xiliang warrior like Dong Zhuo be Yuan Shao's opponent?
Yuan Shao put himself on the commanding heights of righteousness with one sentence, comparing Dong Zhuo to a rebellious minister and a traitor, making him seem like a strong and loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that he could not defeat Yuan Shao in words, Dong Zhuo stopped being polite and stood up angrily, pulled out his sword, glared at Yuan Shao, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to test whether my sword is sharp?"
When Yuan Shao saw that the two sides were at odds with each other, he said unkindly: "My sword has not repaid the disadvantage!"
The two sides were at war with each other, but Li Ru stood up to dissuade him: "Hey! The matter has not been decided yet, so don't kill rashly!"
Li Ru is not worried about Yuan Shao, he is worried about the influence of the Runan Yuan family. After all, his disciples and former officials are all over the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao is the intended successor of the Runan Yuan family. If he kills Yuan Shao at this time, it will be very detrimental to his future control. imperial court.
When the ministers saw this, they acted angrily and tried to persuade them to calm down.
Yuan Shao put down his sword, said goodbye to all the civil and military ministers, and then glared at Dong Zhuo, "Humph!"
After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.
# Yuan Shao took the sword in his hand, said goodbye to all the officials, and went out, hanging at the east gate of the festival, and rushed to Jizhou.
He walked away gracefully, but it was hard for Yuan Wei to wipe his ass.
Dong Zhuo naturally wanted to make trouble for Tai Fu Yuan Wei, "Your nephew is rude, I see your face and forgive him. What about abolishing Li?"
Does Yuan Wei still have any choice now?
"This is what the Lieutenant sees."
Now he could only secretly rejoice that Yuan Shao ran fast, hoping that he could gather a rebel army to attack Dong Zhuo and return control of the court to Yuan's hands again.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's wolf-like appearance, Yuan Wei was so old. For the first time, he felt that the King of Hejian was so majestic and refreshing.
Dong Zhuo looked at the other ministers and said, "Anyone who dares to obstruct a major discussion will be dealt with according to military law!"
The ministers were terrified, and they all said that they obeyed their orders.
Seeing everyone's cooperation, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud: "On the first day of the ninth lunar month, at the Jiade Hall, a grand ceremony will be held to depose and establish an institution. All civil and military officials must be present. Dismissed!"
For the first time, he felt the wonderful feeling of being in power, and all the scholars surrendered at his feet.
Dong Zhuo drifted, and it was easy to make mistakes when he drifted, and they were fatal mistakes.
After Dong Zhuo was deceived, the government officially appointed a large number of noble officials. He wanted to reconcile with the Kanto nobles! But he didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't been lucky, would he be where he is today? The Kanto gentry group originally aimed at the throne!It is aimed at the dominance of the Han Dynasty! How is it possible to reach a settlement with you, a fat guy who was killed halfway!
But things were so outrageous. After a series of conciliation and deception, Dong Zhuo became friendly towards the Guandong gentry. First, he posthumously rehabilitated the counter-revolutionary group of Chen Fan and Dou Wu who had caused the scourge of the party. The titles of Chen Fan and others began to appoint their descendants to serve as officials. On the contrary, his own people were relatively restrained and did not arrange them in any prominent positions.
Later, a large number of gentry groups were released to serve in Guandong. Dong Zhuo wanted to please the Yuan family and promoted Yuan Shu as the next generation patriarch of the Yuan family to follow him around, leaving Yuan Shao, who drew his sword with him, to fend for himself outside by boiling frogs in warm water.
For example, Yuan Shao, Zhou Ao, Wu Qiong and others who worked as aides in He Jin Mansion with Yuan Shao began to instigate Dong Zhuo.
Zhou Yao said: "Yuan Shao left angrily. If the purchase is urgent, things will inevitably change. Moreover, the Yuan family has four generations of parents, and the disciples and old officials are all over the world. If you recruit heroes to gather disciples, heroes will rise because of it, and Shandong will not be the same." It's public property. It's better to pardon him and make him a county governor, then Shao Shao will be happy to be exempted from guilt and will be free of trouble."
Wu Qiong said: "Yuan Shao is so resourceful that there is nothing to worry about. It would be better to add a county guard to win over the people."
But there was something that made Yuan feel disgusted. Liu Han recommended the governor of Bohai to Gongsun Zan while the emperor was still alive. If he wanted to appoint Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai, would Gongsun Zan be willing? Not to mention whether Gongsun Zan is Liu Han's man, with Yuan Shao like this, why would he go to Bohai County?Deliver food? Jizhou, Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom, and Bohai County have actually been regarded as the territory of the King of Hejian by Dong Zhuo. He dare not touch those people. He is not afraid of people from Luoyang making small moves behind his back. He is really afraid of the King of Hejian. The army marched straight into Luoyang to seek an explanation from themselves.
After much deliberation, Yuan Shao became the governor of Pingyuan County and was granted the title of Marquis of Zhong Township. (End of chapter)
