", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Chapter 10 Wind and rain are obscure Section 26 Dong Zhuo's expression was cold, and there was a deep melancholy and uneasiness in his eyes looking into the distance.

Now his situation is very difficult, although the 20,000 Xiliang army has returned to his command, but he is in Hedong, sandwiched between Northern Xinjiang and Luoyang, he does not know where he will go, and he does not know what his future fate is.

Bingzhou is now a dangerous place, with more and more victims, Tuntian is becoming more and more hopeless, and Li Hong, who is in charge of military affairs in northern Xinjiang, is becoming more and more powerful.

Once he obeys the will of the Son of Heaven and goes north to Jin, he will inevitably lead the disaster. If you don't want to enter the promotion, you can't enter the promotion.

If you don't enter the Jin, you still have the initiative, and if you enter the Jin, you can't help but become the weapon of those powerful ministers in the court to deal with Li Hong, and the best thing in the future is the ending of a rabbit and a dead dog.

This time, the emperor returned to heaven, and the Son of Heaven not only ordered him to lead the military of the former general, but also returned 20,000 Xiliang soldiers to himself, which shows that Li Ru's choice to let himself stay in Hedong was still very correct.

When the power of the three parties in Luoyang was inextricably linked, he immediately became the object of their great efforts.

Now that he has a large army, he is close to Luoyang, and no matter which side he supports, it will directly affect Luoyang's power struggle.

But the question is, which side do you support? Lieutenant officials, non-commissioned officers, and generals, who of them can win the final victory in this power struggle?

Only if you choose the right one, you will have merit in the future and you can enter the court. The tension in Luoyang forced all the powers in Korea and China to require him to stay in Hedong, and he had temporarily lost the possibility of returning to Xiliang.

He didn't want to go and couldn't go, and now that the Northern Xinjiang War is over, Li Hong has led his army south, and he has no chance to go north even if he wants to.

He couldn't even think of going south to Beijing, and entering Beijing at this time would undoubtedly kill himself. What should he do?

When will I be able to return to Xiliang? Li Ru strongly persuaded him to follow closely behind Yuan Kui, the master of Taifu, and help the ministers of the scholar clan in the court to eradicate the traitors and relatives.

But Dong Zhuo is not optimistic about those people who are eye-to-the-sky, he thinks that those people will only talk about it and will not achieve great things, and he is more optimistic about He Jin, the general who holds military power.

He told Li Ru that the power struggle in the court is now different from the past. After six years of war, the national policy of the Great Han Kingdom was revised a lot.

Nowadays, the Great Han Kingdom not only has elite northern and southern armies, but also powerful border armies in various places, and the number of county soldiers in various states and counties is getting bigger and bigger, and even the wealthy men of the gate lords and clans in various places have private armies in their hands.

Therefore, whether it is a lieutenant official, a foreign relative, or a scholar, if he wants to win the power struggle, it is not enough to rely only on his protégés, old officials, money, and wisdom, but also on the army and strength.

This point is clear to even the first emperor. Look at Li Hong today, look at the fact that today he had to show favor to Li Hong in a low voice for the sake of the 20,000 Xiliang army and his own future, and you can know how correct the choice of the first emperor was back then.

Now the Xiyuan Army is controlled by the traitorous eunuchs, Huangfu Song is far away in Chang'an, although the general is currently only 10,000 northern troops in hand, but once there is an opportunity, the army that went out of Beijing to recruit soldiers and horses has been continuously recalled to Luoyang, and the general's strength will increase sharply.

It is clear at a glance which of the three parties in Luoyang is superior or inferior. Li Ru said that even if the general was in power, he needed the ministers of the court to govern the world for him.

Look at the people who are engaged in the history of the Great General's Mansion? Dong Zhuo disagreed. On the one hand, he kept in touch with the traitorous eunuchs in the palace, on the other hand, he expressed his allegiance to the general, and at the same time maintained a lukewarm relationship with the scholars.

As early as after the first emperor returned to heaven, he considered the possibility of Li Hong going south. Once Li Hong goes south, he will bear the brunt of it.

He didn't want to bury himself and his 20,000 Xiliang troops in Hedong in vain, so he sent Li Su north several times to listen to the tone of Xian Yufu and others, and it was not until Li Su went to the Wuyuan camp to see Li Hong and got Li Hong's promise that he took a long breath.

Since the Son of Heaven and those people in the imperial court regarded themselves as a shield against Li Hong and ignored their own life and death, why should they care about their life and death?

Wouldn't it be better to follow behind Li Hong, join forces with Li Hong, and go into Luoyang together to eradicate the traitors and support the young master?

However, thinking of what Li Hong had done in the past few years, Dong Zhuo hesitated again. Can you gain Li Hong's trust?

Once Li Hong enters Beijing and controls the authority of the state, will it be a blessing or a curse for the Han Kingdom and himself? Dong Zhuo's tall and burly body moved lightly twice on the war horse, and then looked back at Zhang Liao behind him and asked, "Before Lord Zhang led his troops to leave Jinyang, did he say goodbye to General Xianyu?" Zhang Liao bowed and responded: "Xiaguan made a special trip to the Longshan camp. General Xian Yu was very polite and gave me a hundred war horses. ”

"What did General Xian Yu say at that time?"

"He didn't say anything." Zhang Liao replied,

"General Li suddenly led his troops south, and it was impossible for General Xian Yu not to know that at that time, the 100,000 Tuntian soldiers in Hedong were entering the Longshan camp one after another." Dong Zhuo waved at Zhang Liao and stopped talking.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang were ordered to go to Bingzhou last month to recruit troops for the Northern Army, and Xian Yufu and Zhang Yan cooperated very well, allowing Zhang Liao to go to Yanmen County, and Zhang Yang to Taiyuan and Shangdang counties to recruit 3,000 strong victims each.

Guo Yun, the Taishou of Yanmen County, also sent 300 war horses to Zhang Liao. At the beginning of this month, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang received a military order from the general He Jin, and rushed to Anyi, Hedong, with 3,000 recruits.

Today, he and Zhang Yang were ordered by Dong Zhuojun to lead their troops with 20,000 Xiliang troops to set up a blocking position in Anting, ten miles away from Anyi City.

Changshi Liu Ai and Sima Li Ru both advised Dong Zhuo to stick to Anyi City and not to go out of the city with 20,000 horses to meet Li Hong's 100,000 Northern Xinjiang army, which would be a defeat at all, but Dong Zhuo insisted on not complying.

"I heard that your younger brother Zhang Zhen is the commander of the personal guard battalion of the general of the Che Cavalry, is it true?" Captain Dong Yue on the side asked in a low voice.

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "My younger brother followed Lord Li to fight everywhere, and made many military exploits, not only was he appreciated by Lord Li, but even the officials were bigger than me, I am ashamed to be a brother." ”

"Then wait a minute, if there is a fight......" Zhang Liao's smile froze, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Zhang Yang looked at the smoke and dust gradually rising in the distance anxiously, approached Zhang Liao and whispered, "General Li won't really want to fight, right?" "A team of iron horsemen suddenly appeared in people's sight.

The Panther's battle flag flying high made everyone feel a little fear. Dong Zhuo suddenly patted the horse and shouted, "Go, follow me to meet the general of the chariot." Li Su, Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Dong Yue, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others followed closely and rode away.

A hundred iron horsemen on the opposite side are getting closer and closer. At present, a person wearing a black war helmet and black armor sat down on a black war horse, galloping like a sharp arrow.

Dong Zhuo recognized it at a glance that it was Li Hong, who he hadn't seen for three years. I haven't seen him for three years, and Li Hong's appearance has changed a lot.

Due to years of fighting in the border area, Li Hong has become stronger than in the past, his skin is much darker, and his face is covered with a light black beard, which looks more and more powerful and fierce, the only thing that remains unchanged is his sharp and hidden murderous eyes and uninhibited smile.

Li Hong saw Dong Zhuo, flew off his horse, and strode over. Dong Zhuo didn't want to get off the horse. He is old and old, although this former general is a little younger than Li Hong's official, but he is unwilling and unable to ask him to dismount and greet Li Hong as an official.

However, Li Hong took the initiative to get off the horse, which made him feel very embarrassed. Dong Zhuo got off the war horse slowly, and greeted him with a few smiles on his face.

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Li Hong took the initiative to greet Li Su, Niu Fu, Li Dao and other familiar generals one by one.

In recent years, Li Hong has overcome strong enemies in northern Xinjiang and made great achievements, and these generals in western Xinjiang have great admiration for him.

If you say that when you fought in the Western Xinjiang in the early years, you were still a little unconvinced by each other, and felt that Li Hong's luck was good, but now you can't accept it.

Dong Zhuo waited for him to finish greeting everyone, and then waved his hand to everyone. The generals of Xiliang understood and retreated to the back.

Dong Zhuo asked unceremoniously: "Your Excellency is now a general of the chariot and cavalry, the same position as the third duke, and his status is respected in my Great Han Kingdom, why do you suddenly disobey the holy decree and lead the army south to force Luoyang?" Li Hong smiled: "I am anxious to see the general, just to talk to you about this." After Li Su left Wuyuan, He Hao of Shangshutai went to Wuyuan with the holy decree of the Son of Heaven......" Li Hong immediately explained in detail the imperial court's arrangements for the victims of the disaster in Northern Xinjiang and the army in Northern Xinjiang.

"Luoyang is unstable, the army will not be able to go north to conquer Xianbei, and the northern Xinjiang will also be in trouble because it is unable to settle the victims and support Tuntian, so I have to follow the edict of the first emperor to go south to Luoyang." Li Hong looked at Dong Zhuo's grim face and said bluntly,

"There is no need to mention the past grievances between you and me, as far as the current situation is concerned, you and I have been forced into a desperate situation by the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, so we have no choice but to break the boat." Dong Zhuo pondered for a while and asked: "Your Excellency did not disclose the edict of the first emperor, but rushed the army south to threaten Luoyang, I am afraid that it is not a ruin, but another plan, right?" ”

"If the edict of the first emperor is made public, I will have to face the 80,000-strong army of Gyeonggi and the fortified city of Luoyang, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Li Hong said,

"Whether it's the eldest prince or the little prince, for me, whoever is the emperor is the same. But the premise is that Luoyang must be stable, and the imperial court must solve the crisis in northern Xinjiang. Otherwise, how can I fulfill the important trust of the first emperor to let me defend the northern frontier? No matter if I have any other plans, as long as I can solve all the problems in northern Xinjiang, I will do it. ”

"Your Excellency is now facing Hedong, and at the same time forcing yourself, Northern Xinjiang and Luoyang into a dead end, how will your Excellency solve the current crisis?" Dong Zhuo asked,

"Isn't the killing of Song Dian the beginning of solving the crisis?"

"Killing Song Dian is to tell Luoyang that the purpose of my southward movement is not to be the emperor, but to kill traitors and stabilize Luoyang." Li Hong nodded and said,

"Since I haven't made the edict of the emperor public, I have already admitted it. In other words, I support the general He Jin to assist the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager in taking charge of the government. Now the Han Dynasty is presided over by the Queen Mother, but in fact, the government is controlled by the traitors in the palace and the ministers of the scholars. The general was forced by the situation and now could only avoid disaster in the Baijun Mansion, and his life was in danger. In order to stabilize Luoyang, I must help the general He Jin to immediately take control of Luoyang and hold power. ”

"Lord Taifu and the ministers of the court......" Li Hong waved his hand to interrupt Dong Zhuo's words,

"Didn't they keep saying that they wanted to kill the eunuchs? Do you want to eradicate traitors? I will satisfy them today, but they will also satisfy me today. Otherwise, the general will be powerful in the future, who will restrain him? Does it depend on the 20,000 northern troops of Lord Huangfu? Or rely on you, Lord Dong, with 20,000 Xiliang troops? Dong Zhuo looked at the murderous Li Hong, and suddenly felt that he was old.

Li Hong, who came back from the Xianbei country from a humble background, has been talking to the court with a knife, and he has been following the rules of the court for so many years and using money to talk to the court.

As a result, after the death of the first emperor, he and Li Hong immediately had these two completely different endings today. Why did Li Hong always use a knife to talk to the court?

Was it because of the favor of the first emperor or his luck? Li Hong's meaning, Dong Zhuo already knew everything.

Li Hong's army went south, and its purpose was to kill the traitorous eunuchs, impeach the ministers of the Shi clan, and help the general to take power.

The traitorous eunuch disappeared from the court of the Great Han Kingdom, and the political situation in Luoyang was stable. And the general will be very grateful to Li Hong for his help, and will take care of the northern Xinjiang from all aspects.

In this way, the Great Han Kingdom has since formed a pattern in which the general is in charge, the scholars are in charge, and Li Hong is sitting on the army to defend the northern frontier.

At this time, as long as everyone works together to govern the country, they will be able to get along peacefully, and the Great Han Kingdom will be gradually revitalized. Li Hong's idea was good, but he used very bad means to achieve this goal.

Dong Zhuo once thought that Li Hong went south only because of his foolish loyalty to the first emperor and his desire for state authority, and Dong Zhuo even thought that the first emperor did not leave Li Hong to go south to support the young lord.

But he now believes that the edict of the first emperor is on Li Hong, and he also believes that Li Hong has no ambition to dominate the world, but what he can't believe is that Li Hong dares to openly ignore the edict of the first emperor, openly despise the authority of today's son, and openly challenge the imperial court and the Great Han Law.

With such a courtier, the Son of Heaven and the court not only did not dare to issue an edict to punish his crimes, but also promoted him to an official, and also agreed to the conditions he proposed, acquiescing in his trampling on the authority of the Son of Heaven and the laws of the Great Han Dynasty.

In today's Great Han Kingdom, it turned out that it was possible to do this, courtiers. Dong Zhuo secretly sighed, compared with today's Great Han Kingdom and the Great Han Kingdom in the past, it is indeed different.

"What do you say, my lord?" Li Hong stood opposite Dong Zhuo, looked directly into Dong Zhuo's hesitant eyes, and asked word by word.

"Although the lord led his troops south to disobey the holy decree, but the act of killing the traitor has won the lord a great reputation, and even the cunning scholars will not be able to find the crime of punishing you in the future, and the journey of the lord is not in vain." Dong Zhuo said with three points of mockery, and said with a faint smile,

"I'll cross the Yellow River south immediately." Li Hong bowed down and thanked, "Thank you, sir." Dong Zhuo patted Li Hong's thick shoulder affectionately, and said in a small body: "I haven't thanked you for Lingwu Valley's rescue, so there is no need to be so polite between you and me." ”

"After the Luoyang crisis is resolved, do you plan to enter Beijing as a prince or return to Xiliang to guard the frontier?" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he helped He Jin control the power this time, and helped Li Hong solve the crisis in northern Xinjiang, he had made outstanding contributions, and it was naturally not a problem to be a third prince.

But if you enter Beijing for public service, you will lose the military power of Xiliang, will this outweigh the losses? Thinking of the former Xiliang famous general Duan Cheng who tried his best to become a lieutenant but ended up with a tragic death, Dong Zhuo was a little worried.

Is it to enter the dynasty as a public servant or to return to Xiliang to be a powerful frontier guard like Li Hong?

"What about you?" Dong Zhuo asked.

"I want to go north to the desert and attack two thousand miles away." Li Hong said with a smile,

"I'm going to fight all the way to Yanran Mountain (Qilian Mountain), Wolf Juxu Mountain and Sunset Plain, otherwise I'll never turn back. This time out of the battle, nine deaths and one life, see you today, even if you say goodbye, please cherish it. Dong Zhuo's heart trembled, and he blurted out: "Good man." Dong Zhuo's army retreated without a fight, and successively ceded the two cities of Anyi and Jiexian County, and reached Puban and Fenglingdu.

The letter for help flew to Luoyang like snowflakes, and Luoyang was terrified. Song Dian's head had already arrived at the palace, and the Queen Mother was terrified and hurriedly summoned Zhao Zhong and other regular attendants.

Li Hong's meaning has been undoubtedly revealed, not only to enter Beijing, but also to kill all the traitors. The lieutenants were panicked and at a loss.

At this time, Shangshu Xu Jing and Zhou Yu arrived at the camp of Anyi and announced the decree to Li Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry. After Li Hong received the order, he took a closer look at it, and then asked, "Two adults, you said that Princess Changping has arrived in Hejian Country, what are the credentials?" Xu Jing bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, you can ask Lord Taiwei and Lord Muyang of Jizhou, who are far away in Youzhou. ”

"When will the King of Bohai become the King of Chen Liu?"

"My lord, this is the will of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother." Zhou Bi said,

"Do you have any objections to the will of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother?" Zhou Bi is in his forties, medium build, slightly fat, round face, thick eyebrows, always smiling when he speaks, looking loyal and gentle.

"Please two adults to present my urgent performance to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." Li Hong smiled indifferently and handed them a piece of music,

"For the safety of the army attacking the desert, I must ask Luoyang to be stable, so if I can't eradicate the traitorous eunuchs, I will never retreat to the north." Xu Jing and Zhou Bi looked at each other and were stunned.

Eradicate the eunuchs? Although this excuse for going south was relatively reluctant, it was able to get the support of the people of the world, and it seemed that Li Hong was determined to enter Beijing.

"When do you plan to go north to attack Xianbei?"

"As soon as the traitorous eunuch is removed, Luoyang is stable, and I will immediately lead the army north." Li Hong said with certainty,

"So, I'm running out of time, and I have to head south as soon as possible. In order to ensure that the expeditionary army has no worries, the imperial court must make every effort to transport three to four months' worth of grain and grass to the areas of Beidi, Shuofang, and Yanmen in the near future. ”

"It's too difficult." Xu Jing frowned and said with great embarrassment,

"This year, the rain has continued, the road is difficult, and there is a big flood in Hebei, Qingdao and Yanzhou that needs disaster relief, so it is impossible for the imperial court to raise three to five months' worth of grain and grass to transport to northern Xinjiang in the near future."

"If there is no sufficient grain and grass to carry baggage, I will not risk the annihilation of the whole army to the north of the desert to attack the Xianbei people." Li Hong said,

"If the imperial court wants to go on an expedition to the desert this year, it must ensure that the victims of the disaster in northern Xinjiang are resettled, and that the tuntian in the prefecture receives enough money and materials. In addition, don't say anything about disaster relief, you go to Huguan and Taiyuan to see how many victims there are? I want to play Your Majesty's impeachment of Jizhou Mu Yang Qi, as well as Qingzhou Assassin Shi Cui Jun. If there is a riot in the prefecture and delays the time for the army to attack north, the responsibility is theirs. ”

"The first emperor said a long time ago that the money of Wanjintang is used to fight wars and expand the territory. The first emperor's Wanjintang plus the Empress Dowager Dong's Yongle Palace, how could the imperial court have no military funds? Grain and grass can be transported from three directions: Jizhou, Gyeonggi and Chang'an to northern Xinjiang, which can save a lot of time. Xu Jing and Zhou Bi had no choice but to leave.

When they walked out of the camp, they saw Xie Ming, the commander of salt and iron, walking into Li Hong's big tent with more than a dozen wealthy merchants from Luoyang, Chang'an.

"Is the general of the chariot cavalry a blessing or a curse for the Great Han Kingdom?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said with a very complicated expression: "At this time, he still dares to go on an expedition to the desert, can you say that he is not a loyal minister of the Great Han Kingdom?" He's not an idiot, can't he see the danger of an expedition to the desert? Before the expedition to the desert, he led the army south to coerce the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to kill the traitorous eunuchs, Luoyang is unstable, who dares to expedition to the desert? Xu Jing sighed and said, "I hope that the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother can agree, so that the Great Han Kingdom will have one less disaster." Li Hong led the army to continue south, and the battle of Gyeonggi was cloudy.

The two counties of Hongnong and Henan fell into chaos, and many princes, nobles, and wealthy men living in the Gyeonggi area moved their families to Chang'an and Luoyang to avoid trouble.

When the lieutenants heard that Li Hong had openly proposed to kill the traitorous eunuch, they were shocked and frightened, and hurriedly begged the Empress Dowager to agree to all the conditions proposed by Li Hong in order to avoid disaster.

Zhao Zhong said that Li Hong's proposal to kill the traitorous eunuch is false, and it is true to go south to abolish the young master. Therefore, in order to prevent Li Hong from continuing to go south, it was better to agree to all his conditions and let him withdraw his troops back to the Jin side.

Yuan Kui and other ministers of the DPRK and China were relieved to hear that Li Hong had already planned to expedition to the desert, and they immediately discussed the matter of raising food and ammunition for the expeditionary army.

As for Li Hong's excessive demands, the ministers deliberated for a long time and felt that they still couldn't agree.

The fifteen county guards are concurrently led by the garrison captain, what is the difference between this and Li Hong's own appointment? If Li Hong has such great power, what is the difference between this and the division of the feudal state?

As soon as this wind opens, in the future, there will be important ministers who will follow suit, how will the imperial court punish it? Where does this place the authority of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court?

No way. There were too many 300,000 border troops in northern Xinjiang, which not only threatened the security of Gyeonggi, but also the imperial court could not afford to support them.

No way. The ten-year tax payment of the fifteen counties and the salt and iron benefits of the east of the Hedong Prefecture were considered by the ministers to be sufficient to support the tuntian and disaster relief of the prefecture.

Tuntian is the early need to invest a huge amount of money, Taiyuan and the party's Tuntian has been more than two years, according to the ministers' calculations, the soldiers and people of the army and the people of the tun can barely support themselves, and by next year, they will have surplus grain to supply the army and pay taxes.

As for Tuntian in the land of the Hetao, the huge amount of money invested in the early days has been included in the 10 billion money, why does Li Hong need Jizhou's ten years of taxes?

This is obviously suspected of enriching one's own pockets. Ten years of Jizhou taxes cannot be given. The ministers believed that since Li Hong had decided to go on an expedition to the desert, he would not really lead his army to Luoyang, and the matter would definitely not be resolved in the end.

If Li Hong did not meet the requirements, he would not rush to retreat, and Li Hong's continued threats would force the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager to drive the traitorous eunuch out of the court.

As long as the eunuchs lose their authority, they will wait to die. But the ministers were very worried that once the traitorous eunuch was forced out of the court, He Jin would take the opportunity to enter the court, and the disaster of his relatives would begin.

Li Hong's sudden southward movement disrupted the predetermined strategy of Yuan Kui and others to kill the traitorous eunuchs and their relatives, and they had no choice but to make another plan.

Yuan Kui, Ding Gong, Liu Hong and Lu Zhi went to the Changqiu Palace to discuss matters at the order of the Empress Dowager, but they were angrily abused by Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others.

They begged the Empress Dowager to agree to all of Li Hong's conditions, but Yuan Kui and others disagreed. Yuan Kui said, the general has already said what he wants to do in the south, why don't you just resign and go home, why do you have to let the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother be humiliated?

No way. The Queen Mother saw that they were fighting each other, so she said a compromise method and allocated another 5 billion yuan to Li Hong from the first emperor's Wanjin Hall for the northern Xinjiang Tuntian and the border army.

Yuan Kui hurriedly stopped, saying that the general of the Che Cavalry was about to go on an expedition to the desert, and more than 100,000 troops would need to spend at least six billion dollars in military funds, so this money could not be allocated, and if it was pulled out, Wanjintang would be about to bottom out.

When Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and other lieutenants heard that Li Hong was about to go on an expedition to the desert, their hearts were suddenly settled. At this time, no matter what, you must satisfy Li Hong, and you can't force him to be anxious.

Otherwise, if he didn't go on an expedition to the desert in a fit of rage, it would be even more troublesome. In the end, Yuan Kui had no choice but to compromise, and if he didn't compromise, Zhao Zhong would beat him to death in court.

The situation in Gyeonggi is becoming increasingly tense. Dong Zhuo's army all retreated to the Fengling Ferry, while Li Hong's army was pressing over to the north.

The former general Dong Zhuo repeatedly asked for help but failed, and wrote angrily, begging the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to quickly kill the traitorous eunuch to avoid the disaster of the Luoyang Rebellion.

Dong Zhuo said in the recital that the minister believed that the reason why there were great rebels in the world was that the traitors Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang and others insulted Tianchang, usurped the king's order, and did whatever they wanted.

The traitorous father, son and brother dominated the prefecture and county, and with a simple paperwork, they could obtain thousands of gold benefits, and millions of fertile and fertile fields near the capital were occupied by them.

The actions of the traitors filled the country with resentment, and the society was in turmoil as a result. When the ministers were in Xiliang to crusade against the rebels, the soldiers were hungry and lacking, and they were unwilling to continue to fight westward with the ministers.

As the saying goes: it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling, than to extinguish the fire; Although the carbuncle is painful, it is better than raising meat; and drowning the boat, regretting it is impossible.

Dong Zhuo publicly responded to the actions of Li Hong, the general of the chariot cavalry, to kill the eunuchs, which made the court stunned.

Whether it is the general He Jin or the ministers of the scholar clan, no one has publicly said that they will kill the traitors and eradicate the traitors.

Although Li Hong, the general of the chariot and cavalry, used this as an excuse to lead his troops south to threaten the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, in everyone's hearts, Li Hong was actually a rebel of the Han Kingdom, but he was so powerful that no one dared to say it.

But now that the former general Dong Zhuo suddenly raised troops in response, and the two generals of the Great Han Kingdom who held military power joined forces to coerce the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to kill the traitorous eunuchs, this matter is different, and this amount is even more different.

What was especially important was that Dong Zhuo raised troops in response to Li Hong, and there was not a single soldier before Hangu Pass, and Li Hong's army could quickly cross the Yellow River south and go straight to Luoyang City.

Zhao Zhong and others were furious, scolded Dong Zhuo for being both sides and three swords, despicable and shameless, and begged the Queen Mother to immediately issue an order to remove Dong Zhuo.

But how dare Empress Dowager He listen. Dong Zhuo originally had 20,000 Xiliang soldiers in his hands, and at this time he publicly responded to Li Hong, indicating that he had Li Hong's support.

At this time, the dismissal of Dong Zhuo was not nothing to do, forcing Li Hong and Dong Zhuo to join forces to go south? The ministers of the scholar clan and the general He Jin in the court were also surprised by Dong Zhuo's approach, and they didn't react for a while.

Dong Zhuo's approach, is it considered a betrayal of them? Dong Zhuo is a martial artist, and it can be seen from his recital that what he says in his heart is actually the interests of the soldiers.

At this critical moment, he did not turn his back on his martial arts position, nor did he turn his back on his brothers, and he resolutely stood on Li Hong's side.

Dong Zhuo is an out-and-out martial artist, he has nothing to do with the tripartite power in Luoyang, he is not subordinate to any party, he is a martial artist.

The general He Jin was the first to react, and he immediately played the empress dowager, saying that the Gyeonggi army was insufficient, and if Li Hong crossed the river to fight, Hangu Pass might not be able to be defended, and it was better to recruit reinforcements as soon as possible.

If the Queen Mother didn't want to recruit reinforcements, there was another way for Li Hong to withdraw from the army, and that was to immediately drive the traitorous eunuch out of the palace.

Empress Dowager He did not agree, she sent an edict to He Jin and said that from ancient times to the present, it is the eunuchs who manage the affairs in the palace, this is the ancestral system of this dynasty, and the law of the Han Dynasty, how can it be abolished at will?

Now that the first emperor has just died, the emperor is young, and the head of the palace can't discuss with the ministers of the court every day, right?

What is this system? Soon, the Taifu Yuan Kui, Situ Dinggong and Sikong Liu Hong also jointly played the Empress Dowager, asking the Empress Dowager to remove all the eunuchs below the Zhongchang Servant and the Zhongchang Servant from their posts, drive them out of the palace, and appoint three Lang officials to replace them.

The Empress Dowager refused again, but after discussing with the lieutenants this time, she agreed that He Jin would recruit reinforcements from various prefectures and counties to defend the Jingshi.

He Jin immediately dispatched an 800-mile fast cavalry to urgently recruit Hanoi Taishou Ding Yuan, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shiyu Shi Wang Kuang, Shiyu Shi Zhang Liao, Duwei Wuqiu Yi, Duwei Bao Xin, and Sima Zhangyang of the Northern Army, a total of seven routes of soldiers and horses to return to Beijing to aid the Beijing Division.

Hanoi Taishou Ding Yuan led 5,000 troops to cross the Yellow River and rushed to Mengjin. Lieutenants Zhao Rong and Xia Mou, who were stationed in Mengjin, refused to open the gate on the orders of the hussar general He Miao.

Zhao Rong said to Ding Yuan, Lord Ding should go to Hangu Pass from the path. Ding Yuan was furious, and in the name of entering Luoyang to eradicate the traitors, he oversaw the army and attacked fiercely.

The next day, Wang Kuang, the servant of the imperial palace, rushed to Mengjin with 5,000 soldiers, and the two sides attacked together. The Xiyuan Army was formed for a short time, had poor training, and had no combat effectiveness, and the city tower was soon captured by the army led by Lü Bu, the commander of Hanoi.
