Chapter 2 Heroes rise together
Since receiving He Jin's secret order, Dong Zhuo led his army to Luoyang without stopping, and was even more worried about missing the opportunity, so he personally led 3,000 cavalrymen to take the lead.
Although Dong Zhuo has arrived at the city of Luoyang, his army will not arrive for five to ten days.
Seeing the emperor in front of him crying and scolding, even Dong Zhuo cursing, Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice: "Who can tell the general what happened in the palace?"
The nine-year-old Chenliu Wang Liu Xie is actually very inconspicuous because he is young and a child is among a group of adults. Who cares?
But at this time, Liu Xie calmly stepped out and said fluently what happened in Luoyang City.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but look at Liu Xiegao a few times and learned that it was the emperor's brother, Queen Chenliu, and bowed.
Then, Dong Zhuo personally pulled out his sword and began to kill the eunuchs beside the emperor, which scared the emperor's cry even more deafening.
Faced with the emperor who was heartbreaking and crying, Dong Zhuo suppressed his anger, helped him onto his mount, Red Rabbit, and shouted loudly: "The emperor sets up and returns to the palace!"
...
When he stepped into the imperial city of Changle Palace, Dong Zhuo was already wearing armor and majestic. He walked slowly into Changle Palace with his sword. He ignored the corpses and blood along the way.

In front of Changle Palace, Dong Zhuo suddenly stopped, leaned on his sword and looked up at the majestic palace, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and after exhaling, he said lightly: "The eunuch party is destroyed, the relatives are destroyed, the general, I have accepted your glory and wealth."
After talking to himself, Dong Zhuo suddenly became cold and said, "Li Ru, I only have three thousand soldiers at this time? How to intimidate the army of the Western Garden of the Imperial City?"
Not far behind Dong Zhuo, Li Ru, wearing gorgeous sleeves, walked up, smiling, stroking his beard, and his squinting eyes made people unable to see the expression in his eyes.
"The lord can let three thousand soldiers enter the city first, sneak out of the imperial city at night, and enter the city early tomorrow morning. In a few days, no one can tell how many soldiers and horses the lord has in Luoyang City. If the Xiyuan Army wants to attack, it must first inquire about the facts. In the few days when the Xiyuan Army hesitated, the lord's army will definitely arrive. At that time, the overall situation has been decided."
Dong Zhuo, who smiled, praised: "People say that Guo Jiaqi of Yingchuan is the best in the world. I think Li Ru, you are the best in the world. Li Ru, I will ask you again, I, Dong Zhuo, lived in Xiliang for a long time, and the world despises me, I want to establish my authority, how many people do I want to kill?"
Li Ru, who always had a faint smile, whispered to Dong Zhuo's back: "The lord must establish authority for the people of Luoyang, just kill a small official. The lord must establish authority for the officials in the court, three dukes and nine ministers, civil officials and military generals, just kill them at will. The lord must establish authority for the people of the world, haha."
Dong Zhuo looked back and asked in a harsh and deep voice: "What should I do?"
"Destroy the Emperor!"
With his narrowed eyes opened, Li Ru suddenly changed into a solemn look, with loyalty and fanaticism to Dong Zhuo in his eyes.
Father-in-law! You have lived in Xiliang for a long time and have made great achievements in fighting, and all the Qiang people and barbarians bowed their heads to surrender!
Why do you want to defend the country for this foolish Emperor of Han?
Why can’t Dong Zhuo of Xiliang dominate the world?
Dong Zhuo closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, opened his eyes again and was full of violent expressions, and asked in a deep voice: "What should I do?"
Li Ru stroked her beard and smiled lightly: "My lord first stabilize the situation in Luoyang. When the Xiliang army arrives, the lord will take the matter of deposing the emperor. At that time, the lord can go to win Yuan Shao's support. The Yuan family has a high prestige among the gentry. This time, the lord mentioned that it was Yuan Shao's secret order to promote this matter. Perhaps the Yuan family will be the lord's help. As for the deposed emperor, the nine-year-old King Chenliu can be established."
Dong Zhuo, who had always followed Li Ru's advice, said hesitantly this time: "King Chenliu? I think this son is young but mature, so it is probably not easy to control."
Li Ru shook his head and said relaxedly: "Because of this, King Chenliu will see the situation clearly. Now the emperor, you may be so angry that you will do something ridiculous. If you force your lord to kill him, it would be better to establish a King Chenliu who knows the current affairs."
After thinking through the key point, Dong Zhuo agreed with Li Ru's words, and he was also worried about the ridiculous emperor's actions that made him dilemma.
Following Li Ru's plan to deceive the world, Dong Zhuo stabilized the Xiyuan Army after entering Luoyang. At that time, only one of them saw through this strategy, but the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei never pointed it out.
Six days later, the Xiliang army entered the city. Another day later, Dingyuan, Bingzhou, led an army of 50,000 to the city of Luoyang.
Ding Yuan insisted on entering the city but Dong Zhuo refused to let him go. The two armies fought fiercely under Luoyang City.
The Xiliang army returned after being defeated.
Dong Zhuo, who entered the mansion of General He Jin, looked anxious. After Li Ru arrived, he asked for advice: "Now Ding Yuan's troops are at the city, and our Xiliang army is good at attacking but not defending. What should we do at this time?"
Li Ru still chuckled indifferently and said, "The lord only needs one thing to resolve the current crisis."
Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, "What?"
"Red rabbit!"
After Li Ru finished speaking, he saw Dong Zhuo looking reluctant and said, "Lord, you will be a person in the high court in the future. Let's leave it to the generals. Ding Yuan's adopted son is someone who is the name of Lu Bu. Today, Lu Bu is brave and brave. There is no one in the Xiliang army. However, this person is greedy for money and lust, and he is crazy and rebellious. As long as the lord uses the Red Rabbit to recruit this person, he will definitely be able to join him and let him kill Ding Yuan and take the Bingzhou army into his pocket. The lord not only has a peerless general like a tiger, but also holds nearly 150,000 troops. The Xiyuan army dares to act rashly? He can only join the lord. At that time, the lord has a strong army of 200,000. Who in the world can compete?"
After Li Ru's persuasion, Dong Zhuo made up his mind to instigate Lu Bu.
A few days later, Lu Bu, who was so heroic that he looked down on all directions, rode the Red Rabbit Horse, held the Fangtian Painted Gaul, and carried Ding Yuan's head to lead the Bingzhou army to surrender to Dong Zhuo. After entering Luoyang, Lu Bu was adopted by Dong Zhuo as his adopted son.
The Xiyuan Army in the imperial city was less than 30% of the forces of Dong Zhuo's army. In the end, the entire army was forced to surrender, and all the generals were dismissed and they were appointed to another position.
At this point, Dong Zhuo had 200,000 troops in Luoyang and completely controlled the imperial capital.
Although Dong Zhuo held heavy troops in his hand and drove to the imperial city, the gentry in the court did not take him seriously, because in the eyes of the world, Dong Zhuo was just a reckless man.
In order to establish authority, Dong Zhuo began to plan the destruction of the emperor.
The first thing to do was to join forces with Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo invited Yuan Shao to come to the mansion and host a banquet. Everyone present, including many ministers and ministers in the court.
After three rounds of drinking, Dong Zhuo publicly asked Yuan Shao about the deposed emperor. Yuan Shao scolded him coldly and scolded Dong Zhuo angrily.
"Yuan Benchu! Do you think my Dong Zhuo's sword is a decoration?"
Dong Zhuo was furious and drew out his sword, pointing directly at Yuan Shao.
The room was silent, no one dared to say anything, and they were nervously paying attention to the development of the situation.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao also drew his sword and pointed it at Dong Zhuo, and said coldly: "Dong Zhongying, is it only your sword that can kill people?"
The sword is tense and about to break out.
Dong Zhuo did not take action in the end because Yuan Shao was from the Yuan family. Now Dong Zhuo needs to win over the aristocratic families instead of forcing them to rebel.
After Yuan Shao drew his sword and left Dong Zhuo's mansion, he went straight to the mansion of the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and told his uncle exactly what had happened before.
"Benchu! Good job! People in the world will see that my Yuan family is not in harmony with Dong Zhuo, and they are the best in the world! Dong Zhuo already has the will to depose the emperor, so you can't stay in Luoyang anymore!"
Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao, who made the entire Yuan family highly hope, and his old face was full of determination.
Yuan Shao also knew the right and wrong place in Luoyang. If he didn't leave, he would be killed. So he nodded and said, "I left the city overnight and returned to my hometown in Runan."
"No! You go to Jizhou! Dong Zhuo appointed you as the prefect of Bohai, so you will take office. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, is not worth mentioning, and Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, will not be able to become a climate. Jizhou is rich, if you want to establish your own business, you must first gain a foothold in Jizhou!" Yuan Wei waved his hand and formulated a route for Yuan Shao to fight for hegemony in the future.
Yuan Shao lowered his head and nodded in agreement after pondering. He thought that if he returned to his hometown in Runan and Yuan Shu would return there, he would not know when the two of them would end their fight. It would be better to go north and set up their own door.
When Yuan Shao urged Yuan Wei to pack up his clothes and start, Yuan Wei shook his head solemnly at Yuan Shao, grabbed Yuan Shao's forearm, and said in a deep voice: "Benchu, if you uprising and attacking Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely kill the Yuan clan. At that time, the people living in the Yuan family were heroes, and the dead were heroes. Who doesn't respect the Yuan family? This old bone of uncle can do his best to do his best for the eternal hegemony, and there is no regret to die!"
"uncle!"
Yuan Shao knelt in front of Yuan Wei in tears, crying bitterly.
Yuan Wei stretched out his hand and stroked Yuan Shao's shoulder, closed his eyes and said sadly: "Benchu, Yuan family, I have given it to you. The reputation of the three masters of the four generations and three generations is already tired of my Yuan family. I promised my uncle to stop you from being overlord, and die!"
Yuan Shao clenched his fists, blood fell to the ground, kowtowed three times to Yuan Wei, put away his tears, and said resolutely: "I, Yuan Shao, will not let my uncle's expectations be disappointed. I will let the Yuan family rule the world even if I die in this life!"
Yuan Wei stood up straight and waved to Yuan Shao with his eyes closed.
After leaving the Taifu Mansion, Yuan Shaoxing left the city at night and headed straight for Jizhou.
Shortly after Yuan Shao left, Yuan Shu was shocked when he received the news.
"Yuan Benchu! You fled Luoyang, was it because you went back to Runan to compete with me for family business?"
Yuan Shu, who was shocked and suspicious, immediately set off and left Luoyang and returned to his hometown in Runan.
Yuan Shao went to Jizhou to become the prefect of Bohai, and began to actively contact Youzhou's governor Liu Yu and Jizhou's governor Han Fu.
Yuan Shu returned to his hometown in Runan and found that Yuan Shao had not come back. While he was relieved, he was unwilling to have no territory. At this moment, Sun Jian, who was fighting in Jingzhou, killed Nanyang Prefecture, so Yuan Shu led his relatives to occupy Nanyang and led Nanyang Prefecture.
Although he did not receive the support of the gentry in the court, Dong Zhuo still insisted on abolishing the emperor, and King Liu Xie of Chenliu was supported by Dong Zhuo to take over.
In Changle Palace, Liu Xie was wearing an emperor's dragon robe and an emperor's crown on his head. He was ambitious and planned to reorganize the mountains and rivers to revive the Han Dynasty, but he did not expect a noise outside the hall.
"What's the noise?" Although the nine-year-old Liu Xie tried his best to show his majesty, he still felt bad.
The palace maid knelt outside but did not dare to say anything. After Liu Xie asked, the palace maid fell to the ground and said in panic: "Grand Prime Minister Dong, Prime Minister Dong, the eldest princess was brought to the ground..."
"explain!"
"The eldest princess couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hanging herself."
Liu Xie's face was bloodless and he stepped back and sat on the ground.
Suddenly, Liu Xie roared at the spacious and empty palace.
