Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's hope of gaining fame and wealth by rescuing the emperor failed completely due to Dong Zhuo's powerful military power. In order not to continue to be ridiculed and humiliated by Dong Zhuo here, they could only lead their troops back to Beijing in disgrace. Although doing so seemed like
They were just following Dong Zhuo's orders, but it was better than continuing to be humiliated here.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Anyway, it only takes a moment, and for the rest of the time... out of sight, out of mind.
In comparison, Cao Cao gained the appreciation of the Queen Mother for protecting the Queen Mother. If there were no big problems, Cao Cao, who was the successor of the great eunuch Cao Teng, would surely be able to climb into a good position with the help of the Queen Mother.
Of course, the prerequisite for such a situation to occur is that the authority of the Queen Mother can be exerted, but now...
When Dong Zhuo and his three thousand black-armored cavalry escorted Liu Bian and Liu Xie back to the somewhat dilapidated Luoyang Palace to meet the Queen Mother He, the shocked Queen Mother He hugged Liu Bian's mother and son and cried. It was really heartfelt.
Heartfelt.
However, almost all interested people stopped paying attention to the mother and son. Instead, they turned their attention to Dong Zhuo, who had been standing half a step behind Liu Bian, and the murderous soldiers behind him.
In fact, Dong Zhuo encountered more than one rescue army on the way to Luoyang. However, due to the power of Dong Zhuo's troops, basically none of these troops dared to go forward and go with him. The only ones who were bold were one or two.
They managed to get close, but Dong Zhuo almost had their heads sacrificed to the flag in the name of disturbing the Holy Driver.
There was no way, even if the combined number of those people exceeded Dong Zhuo's, how could the army that had been fighting for nearly a day be the opponent of Dong Zhuo's army who was still sitting on horses after recharging its strength and just walking a little further?
Not to mention that the personal combat effectiveness of those soldiers is really limited. After all, in the land of Luoyang, in addition to the generals who are favored by the Holy Spirit, they can also marry hundreds of veterans who crawled out from the dead on the battlefield.
Wei, the rest are basically a group of armed people who are much stronger than ordinary people but have not changed their profession after all.
Yes, if everyone was like Dong Zhuo walking around with three thousand warriors at the base of Luoyang Imperial City, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to sleep well in the palace, even if the various city defense troops in Luoyang combined were enough.
One hundred thousand people.
Who can stop Dong Zhuo!
Now this issue has become a topic of great interest to various forces in Luoyang, including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, two good friends who are sitting opposite Li Shushi. However, the expressions on their faces are not big.
Same.
Yuan Shao's face was filled with the word "resentment" at this time. He was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the current situation in Luoyang and his own powerlessness. However, neither Li Shushi nor Cao Cao cared about his feelings, and they were all enjoying themselves.
It sounds like he admires him the most
An artist with both virtues and talents (Wu Wu) came to the ditty played by Ying'er, while the other one stared at Yuan Shao's sullen face and studied it hard. It is said that Yuan Shao doesn't have such an expression very often, and this expression
The handsome Yuan Shao also has a different kind of charm.
Hiss...seeing that Li Shushi seemed to be about to slip into some unspeakable taboo place, Su Xiaololi immediately took rescue action, causing the tender flesh of Li Shushi's waist to be penetrated by Su Xiaololi, who had the three-word secret of quickness, accuracy and ruthlessness, and succeeded in a sneak attack.
However, under the sweet smile of a certain pretty lolita, Li Shushi couldn't get angry even if he wanted to, so he could only obediently return to the glorious track of lolita control.
"I said you two, you are still thinking about playing with women here at this time. Don't you know what kind of disaster that beast Dong Zhuo caused to Luoyang and how powerful his soldiers were?"
Seeing that both his good friend and the person he had decided to win over seemed to be indifferent, Yuan Shao, who had not looked very good since he entered the door, finally exploded. It seemed that the stimulation given to him by Dong Zhuo was indeed strong enough.
road.
"Alright Benchu, let's say less. It's not a good thing for the beast to hear your words."
It was not easy for Li Shushi to interrupt at this time. The only one who could say this was Yuan Shao's good friend Cao Cao.
But compared to Yuan Shao, who had a hard time dealing with Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's current life is much more nourishing. Because his talents are appreciated by Dong Zhuo, and because of his background, Cao Cao has always suffered in the circle of Luoyang scholars.
With the vague exclusion, this also made Dong Zhuo pay more and more attention to Cao Cao's role, although his relationship with Yuan Shao always seemed close.
"Okay, okay, I know we are lucky enough to be alive now without being held responsible for breaking into the palace and killing people. But this Dong Zhuo is more cruel than Liang Ji and more lawless than Shi Changshi.
Ah, and he seems to have a lot of prejudice against us scholars. Although he respects scholars on the surface now, who knows what he is thinking in his heart."
"It's useless to say all this now. With the power we have now, there is nothing we can do against each other. In fact, we had a chance, but because of our excessive caution and carelessness, we let it go. You said this
Who can you blame?"
Hearing Cao Cao's light words, Yuan Shao suddenly became stunned, and then he squatted in the corner with his whole body gray and drew circles, while Li Shushi, who had been regarded as a scenery, drank the drink brewed by Su Xiaololi with a happy look on his face.
Red bean soup.
What a peaceful and beautiful day~
No! A gray-white object that was squatting in the corner rushed back with lightning speed and roared loudly.
"Well~ There is no way around this kind of thing. Who told you not to act quickly enough?"
However, Yuan Shao's roar was quickly silenced by Li Shushi, who had been acting as a background figure.
It can be said that this incident is also the most embarrassing thing for Yuan Shao. As for whether Cao Cao is also the same, do you think that as one of the three thickest people during the Three Kingdoms period, although he has not been able to practice to the highest level due to his age?
Realm, but can a trivial matter that is not too big break through someone's supremely thick-skinned experience?
Of course, the most important thing is that Cao Cao was not involved in this matter at all, because he was not Yuan Shao, and because to a certain extent, the camp attributes of him and Li Shushi were more inclined to Dong Zhuo's side.
Therefore, the current situation has become the wailing of Li Shushi and Cao Cao's inhumane onlookers, Yuan Shao, the defeated dog.
In fact, similar dialogues are taking place in other places. After all, this is an important issue related to the ownership of the Luoyang regime. Almost all the numerous forces in Luoyang are involved in this battle, including the temporary winner.
——Dong Zhuo.
"How is the matter going? This Yang Ding and Duan Xuan, a few guards at Hangu Pass can delay them for so long. If it weren't for the help of those few guys from Bingzhou, maybe we would have been exposed long ago.
Leaving Luoyang City."
When Dong Zhuo said this, he no longer knew what kind of expression he should use—happy? Angry? Or dumbfounded.
"What I have to admit is that because of the killing of He Miao by Wu Kuang as a subordinate and the previous turmoil, the troops in Luoyang City can be said to be scattered and distrustful of each other. It is easy for us to use the relationship between those Bingzhou people
Get a lot of support. Besides, many of those Northern Army soldiers have participated in the war in the northwest, and they admire you greatly. It’s just..."
"Just what?" Although Dong Zhuo could not be said to sneer at the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army soldiers, he still had some contempt in his heart, because it was obvious that the prosperous life in Luoyang had corroded the sense of smell they had developed on the battlefield. This was evident from those Northern Army soldiers.
Soldiers always suffer heavy losses in the early stages of the Northwest battlefield, and it can be seen that they will gradually improve after the adaptation period.
"There are two things that are very troublesome now. One thing is that Xu Rong, whom you were very optimistic about at the beginning, did not accept our conditions. Instead, he seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Li Xue from Bingzhou. The other thing is... because of this turmoil
, a large number of rebels have turned into deserters, and these people are fleeing in all directions, and a considerable number of them may become quite difficult to solve."
"You and I know very well about Xu Rong, and the relationship between him and Li Xue has been witnessed by you and me, so if Li Xue doesn't take action, it's okay. Now, that's it, he won't become our
Trouble. Think about it. In order to fight against those aristocratic families in Bingzhou, he went to Luoyang to move Dongguan's books. Wenyou, this kid has more courage than you. Hahahaha..."
Dong Zhuo seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed very happily, but Li Ru's mood was not so good. Because Li Shushi's actions were obviously taking advantage of the opportunity after understanding his arrangement. In other words,
Although the situation that Li Ru worked so hard to arrange was a great success, Li Shushi clearly used this action to show that they could make Dong Zhuojun suffer at any time as long as they wanted to. How could they not let Dong Zhuojun be aware of such information?
Li Ru felt unhappy.
"Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, is this a challenge to me? Okay, I, Li Wenyou, will take it."
Poor Jia Xu was lying on the roadside trying his best to eliminate his presence, but he was shot hard by Li Ru who was full of fighting spirit.
"As for those rebels, let those local officials have a headache. They are a group of scum that are not even as good as our second-line troops."
"But what if those people become the soldiers of those scholars? There are tens of thousands of them anyway. If we add the 20,000 people who are still under their control in Luoyang City, we may still be difficult to resist.
"
"The prerequisite for this kind of situation is that they can work together. But Wenyou, do you think this kind of thing is possible?"
"This..." Li Ru didn't know how to answer Dong Zhuo's rhetorical question. Although he felt that it was possible for this kind of thing to happen, he felt that this kind of thing could be solved through differentiation and disintegration.
Just like what those eunuchs once did.
After all, since there are people with integrity in this world, there must be people with broken spines.
