Under the command of Army Sima, these thousands of people were divided into several groups.

Everyone worked separately. Some laid wooden piles to lay the foundation for building houses, and others used wheelbarrows to collect the surrounding stones. Others used shovels to dig the surrounding soil and put them in sacks to form a hexagon. These sacks will be

The Wubao will be surrounded, and the excavated trench will be the moat of the new Wubao!

Everyone worked hard and finally made a simple Wubao before it started to snow. We also used cement and stones to build the outer wall of the Wubao. It looked very solid on the surface! And with the walls of the Wubao, the coldness of the desert was gone.

The wind was also blocked.

Although the weather is getting colder, there are more and more infrastructures in Wubao here, such as brick kilns have been built. The first product of the brick kiln is not bricks, but a large number of briquette stoves. Almost every house has one.

, Army Sima specially told them that if they want to spend the winter in the desert, they must have a briquette stove!

Soon, Wubao’s small pier was also built!

Within a few days, several small boats came to Wubao, full of food, cloth and other daily necessities!

Army Sima shouted to Zhao Tian and the others: "Yell to distribute supplies according to households. This is our ration for a year. Everyone should save some food. If you eat all, you will be hungry. There is nothing else on the grassland here."

Fill the stomach!"

"There is also coal, which is used to make briquettes. We will have to rely on briquettes to survive this winter!" Then Army Sima began to teach Zhao Tian and the others how to make briquettes. This was not difficult, and everyone started.

Just learned it!

"These leather armors and swords are distributed to you. You must take good care of them. They are used to save your lives at critical moments. And if you want to have a future, you must have military merit. If you kill a few invading barbarians, you can hope to become a standing army.

, You must know that the standing army of the Tengjia Army has better treatment than the Northern and Southern armies of the Han Dynasty. The monthly salary is as high as 1,000 yuan. There are also various rewards during the four seasons and eight festivals. After retirement, you can become an official of the Tengjia Army and enter an official career.

.”

Sure enough, Army Sima said that this treatment made everyone envious, and they wished they could become the standing army of the Tengjia Army now! Many people even asked about the conditions for the selection of the standing army.

But Army Sima smiled and said: "With your current body that can fall down when the wind blows, it is impossible to choose. Don't talk about anything else. Let's find a way to gain 30 pounds of meat first!"

Everyone was just fantasizing about choosing a standing army, but the various grains, dried meat and cloth distributed by the Tengjia Army made everyone extremely excited. With these things at home, they finally did not have to worry about starving to death on the grassland. Everyone walked for a few days.

After traveling thousands of miles, for the first time I feel safe at home here!

A month after Zhao Tian and the others came to the grassland, the snowstorm finally came as expected, the entire desert turned into a snow-white color, and the construction of Wubao also stopped.

Army Sima took his companions and began military training for the young men of Wubao. But here in the desert, barbarians will invade at any time. Without force, they will all be plundered by barbarians! Moreover, their Wubao has just been built.

There are a lot of busy things at other times, and I only have some free time in winter to do military training.

On this day, Zhao Tian and the others were conducting the simplest formation training, and suddenly there was the sound of war drums. Zhao Tian, ​​who was used to militarized management and organization, immediately knew that this was the sound of first-level combat readiness!

Their commander immediately asked them to prepare swords and leather armor to prepare to face the enemy!

At the same time, a large number of crossbows and crossbows were transported from the arsenal and given to them for use in battle.

This was the first time Zhao Tian encountered an enemy. He nervously clenched the sword in his hand. The other soldiers were similar to Zhao Tian. Although they were disaster victims, they rarely killed people!

The Army Sima said encouragingly: "Don't worry, everyone, with the strength of our fort and the weather, even if tens of thousands of Xianbei people come, they won't be able to attack. All we have to do is shoot the enemy with crossbows!"

But after they waited for a long time, what they heard was the sound of dogs barking, and then they saw countless dog-drawn sleds arriving under their fort!

The army commander was overjoyed when he saw this scene: "We are not enemies. Everyone, relax and put down your crossbows!"

Then Sima of the Hou Army led a few people down and exchanged a few words with each other happily. Zhao Tian was relieved when he saw this scene. It looked like he was not an enemy!

The Army Sima laughed loudly and said: "You guys are lucky, you can meet the soldiers of the most elite sled battalion of our Tengjia Army. Everyone, please go to the kitchen to prepare hot meals and hot dishes. They are about to be eliminated."

The Xianbei people on the grassland!"

At this time, Zhao Tiancai really saw the standing army of the Tengjia Army. Sure enough, everyone was tall and tall, and they were not comparable to their skinny bamboo poles!

These soldiers rested in Wubao for a night and left the next day!

Army Sima said helplessly: "I'm just unlucky enough to be in such a rough place. Now I can only watch others make meritorious deeds!"

More than ten days after these sled troops left, when they came back again the team was several times longer!

Army Sima took Zhao Tian and others to help take care of the prisoners and animals, and help take care of the wounded along the way. They rested here for two days before leaving!

Then Army Sima introduced them to them: "Have you seen those trophies? At least 30% of the cattle and sheep belong to them. Whether you can find a wife this year depends on their harvest."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Army Sima, wanting to know more details! Refugees generally have more men than women. In fact, even if they don't flee, they can't afford a wife because of their family background. Otherwise,

Why is it said that poverty cannot last more than three generations!

Now that they heard that Tengjiajun seemed to be able to find a wife, Zhao Tian and other singles of the right age were all excited.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Army Sima could only continue: "The territory of our Tengjia Army is basically more men than women, but the territory of the Hu people is more women and less men. Every time the Xianbei women are captured, they will be arranged

Arrange a sorority party for those of you who don’t have wives. As long as you are right, you can get married! You are all too late. I thought that when we got married, not only would Qu Shuai personally host it, but he would also help us with the arrangements.

Some family business!”

Everyone sighed after hearing what Army Sima said. Such a good thing has come too late!

Army Sima continued: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. After the spring, we will start to open up wasteland, and Qu Shuai will also give you loans to get cattle and sheep. As long as you work hard this year, everyone can make a lot of money."

!”

Zhao Tian and the others nodded with expectant eyes!

On the other side of Yunzhong County, when Xu Wei wanted to continue to visit Wuyuan County, Zhang Bai rode a flying pigeon to send a message to Xu Wei, saying that big changes had taken place in the Han Dynasty and asked him to go back and take charge of the overall situation!

It turned out that Dong Zhuo resisted Yuan Wei for a month and barely took control of the entire Luoyang City military power.

So at the end of August, he loudly said to the civil and military officials at the court meeting: "The emperor today is fatuous and incompetent, favoring traitors and sycophants, which has led to chaos in Luoyang and turmoil in the country. Such a king is incapable of ruling the world of the Han Dynasty. Now I want to follow Yi Yin's example."

, Huo Guang’s incident, deposing the emperor and replacing King Chenliu as emperor, what do you think?"

Suddenly the hall fell into dead silence. They had known about this for a long time, but when Dong Zhuozhen said it, they were still shocked. Of course, I don't know how much of it was staged.

Everyone looked at Yuan Wei, only to find that Yuan Wei had called in sick early and let Dong Zhuo, the Sikong, preside over the court meeting. No matter how long he was, all the officials secretly cursed Yuan Wei as an old fox. He was obviously the protagonist, but he escaped far away. He really deposed the emperor.

Well, every one of them has become a traitor! But he can stay out of it, what a big deal!

At this time, Dong Zhuo continued: "If you don't say anything, you are acquiescing to my suggestion!"

Shangshu ordered Lu Zhi to stand up slowly, and said with a cold face: "In the past, Taijia was ignorant after he succeeded to the throne. King Changyi had more than a thousand crimes, so he was deposed. The current emperor is still young, and his behavior

Without any fault, how can the emperor be deposed like this? Dong Zhuo, do you think your prestige is higher than that of Huo Guang and Yi Yin? If you do such a thing, you won't worry about the destruction of the nine tribes! You know, even if Huo Guang and Yi Yin are so prestige

It’s high, but there will be no good end if you try to depose the emperor!”

Lu Zhi now finally understood why Yuan Wei allowed Dong Zhuo to become a powerful minister of the Han Dynasty. It turned out that he wanted Dong Zhuo to abolish the establishment of the Han Dynasty so that his Yuan family would stay out of the matter!

Dong Zhuo was furious and left his seat, and then prepared to kill Lu Zhi.

But Li Ru advised: "Lu Zhi is a great scholar in the country and is respected by everyone. If he kills him, the general will have many enemies. Moreover, Lu Zhi has two students, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. They hold heavy troops, so the general will kill him."

His words are equivalent to adding 100,000 more enemies, which is not a wise choice!"

Dong Zhuo then stopped taking action and just dismissed Lu Zhi from his official position.

Dong Zhuo sent someone to send the plan to depose the emperor to the Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, and Yuan Wei reported his agreement.

After Lu Zhi was deposed, he immediately came out of Luoyang City and headed towards Jizhou!

In early September, Dong Zhuo summoned hundreds of officials in the front hall of Chongde and threatened Empress Dowager He to issue an edict to depose the young emperor Liu Bian.

The edict said: "During the mourning period for the late emperor, the emperor failed to fulfill his filial piety as a son, and his appearance lacked the majesty that a king should have. Now, he is deposed as King Hongnong and King Chenliu is made emperor."

Yuan Wei took off the seal ribbon worn by the young emperor Liu Bian and presented it to Chenliu King Liu Xie. Then he helped Hongnong King Liu Bian go down to the palace and proclaimed his vassalship to Liu Xie who was sitting in the north.

Empress Dowager He choked with tears and all the officials were sad, but no one dared to speak.

Dong Zhuo also pointed out: "The Empress Dowager He once forced her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Dong, to the point where she died of worry, which violated the etiquette of a daughter-in-law's filial piety to her mother-in-law."

Therefore, Empress Dowager He was moved to Yong'an Palace.

He granted amnesty to the world and changed the reign name from Zhaoning to Yonghan.

On the third day of the lunar month, Dong Zhuo killed Queen Mother He with poison. Officials at the ministerial level and below did not wear mourning clothes. When attending the funeral, they only wore white clothes.

Dong Zhuo dug up He Miao's coffin, took out the body, dismembered it, chopped it into segments, and threw it on the side of the road.

He also killed He Miao's mother, Wuyang Jun, and threw her body in Zhiyuan near the hedge wall.

It can be said that the He family was driven out and killed by Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor, which made the officials of Luoyang City feel that trouble was coming, and they began to flee one by one. The celebrities and scholars in Luoyang City also couldn't stand the alliance between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei.

They knew that although it was Dong Zhuo who deposed the emperor, the man behind the scenes was Yuan Wei. Otherwise, how could Dong Zhuo, a common man from Xiliang, have so easily controlled the military power of the entire Han Dynasty? Only knowledgeable people knew that Dong Zhuo was Yuan Wei.

The knife in his hand was used by him to chop down the He family.

So great scholars like Xun Shuang, Wang Qian, Shen Tufan, Chen Ji, Han Rong, Zheng Tai and others ran back to their hometowns and ignored the affairs of the court. They just watched how Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo fought!

After the He family was driven out, Yuan Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The enemies of the Yuan family were finally driven out by Dong Zhuo. Then what Yuan Wei had to do was to drive Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang City, so that the world could be rectified.

Yuan Wei began to be busy arranging official positions. Because the emperor was deposed, dozens of important officials in the entire Luoyang court were dissatisfied and fled Luoyang City. What he wanted to do now was to let local officials come to Luoyang City to serve as capital officials, but secretly he

It was to arrange for his disciples, former officials and allies to take over the position of local governor. Dong Zhuo did not understand the reason for this and thought that Yuan Wei was helping him stabilize the court situation.

In fact, Dong Zhuo is dissatisfied. I took the blame for you. I deposed the emperor, killed the queen mother, and destroyed the He family. It can be said that I, Dong Zhuo, helped you get rid of the relatives and eunuchs. Forget it if you are not grateful, but you are still trying to add insult to injury.

He originally thought that Yuan Wei was one of them, but when he saw Yuan Wei handling government affairs so seriously, he thought that other scholars wanted to attack him.

This situation aroused Dong Zhuo's vigilance. It seemed that the scholars were about to give up their skills and hide their bows. His response was to seize the military power and at the same time let his closest men guard the eight passes of Luoyang to protect the safety of Luoyang City!
