When Dong Zhuo took out Wang Yun's suggestion to consult Liu Ai and Tian Yi, he was immediately opposed by them.

Tian Yi didn't believe Wang Yun. He said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, do you know Wang Situ's personality? ”

Of course, Dong Zhuo knew Wang Yun's past. He stroked his bushy beard and groaned.

Wang Yun was born into a family of bureaucrats, and his ancestor was an important minister of Emperor Guangwu and one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. Wang Yun is the sixth grandson of Wang Ba.

Like the children of other gate valve families, Wang Yun devoted himself to his career very early. Wang Yun is both civil and military, with extraordinary knowledge, and Guo Linzong, a native of the same county, was once praised as Wang Zuozhi's talent, but Wang Yun has a fierce blood in his bones, which is probably related to his background in Northern Xinjiang and his ancestors being martial artists.

Wang Yun is upright, stubborn, and no one is afraid. When he was nineteen years old when he was appointed as the commander of Taiyuan County, Zhao Jin, a small yellow man, returned to his hometown of Jinyang Province, was greedy and unrestrained, and did everything. Wang Yun was furious and hunted him down without telling the Taishou Liu Xuan. Emperor Huan of Han was furious when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the Taishou Liu Xuan to be killed.

Wang Yun was acquitted because of his humble position. Wang Yun felt guilty and mourned for three years for the deceased lord who died because of himself before returning home to return to his career.

If it were someone else, after this bloody lesson, it would be better to be more sophisticated, sleek, and restrained, but Wang Yun is still so arrogant.

At that time, there was a gap in the county government, and Taishou Wang Qiu recruited a Confucian named Lu Buddha to fill it. This road Buddha has a bad reputation, and Wang Yun feels that it is inappropriate to be too conservative in choosing people, so he admonishes him. And he is stubborn, so he has to guard him too much. Wang Qiu was very angry and locked Wang Yun up to teach him a lesson.

But this matter was immediately known by Deng Sheng, the assassin of the state. Deng Sheng had a deep relationship with Wang Wang, and he liked Wang Yun, so he hurriedly wrote to Wang Qiu, rescued Wang Yun, and recruited him to work for another driver.

Wang Yun became famous because of this incident. Not only was he promoted, but he was also continuously requisitioned by the three dukes.

With these two lessons, he should be more mature, right? No, he's getting harder, he's getting worse. After the Yellow Turban Army uprising, Wang Yun was assassinated in Yuzhou, and together with the left middle lang general Huangfu Song, the right middle lang general Zhu Jun, and the school captain Cao Cao, he led the army to break the Yellow Turban Army in the territory and captured hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners.

It stands to reason that Wang Yun has made outstanding achievements in war and can be promoted. But instead of being promoted, he was arrested. Wang Yun found letters of private contact between Zhang Rang and the Yellow Turban Army among the captured trophies of the Yellow Turban Army, so he played the impeachment of Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang was a little unlucky at the time, but then found an opportunity to put Wang Yun in prison. Wang Yun seems to have good luck, just after he was imprisoned, he encountered an amnesty, and the official was reinstated. But who is Zhang Rang? The famous Jairian will be avenged, so he is willing to let him go, and he is arrested again on fabricated charges.

Wang Yun's family thought he was dead and sent him a cup of poisoned wine to kill himself. lest they be subjected to adultery in the future. Wang Yun smashed the cup and shouted loudly, I am a minister, and I am guilty of the king. He should thank the world for his great efforts, but how can he seek death with poisonous wine.

Wang Yun is a man, unyielding to death. Later, the generals He Jin, Taiwei Yuan Kui, and Situ Yang Ci jointly interceded for him, and they were rescued by many parties. He was not released until the following year.

Tian Yi said: "My lord, with Wang Yun's upright and indomitable character, he will suddenly change his temper after He Jin's death. Is it possible to be loyal to you? He Jin is kind to him, but the lord has put the Empress Dowager He under house arrest, killed Wuyangjun, and dissected He Miao's coffin and killed the corpse, will he have no revenge? Yang Ci is his teacher, his relationship with Yang Feng is extraordinary, and he is also a student of modern literature and classics, so he doesn't have a little opinion on the matter of the lord's revision of official learning? Also, when Xun Shuang was Wang Yun's assassin in Yuzhou, he was once engaged in the government office, and the relationship between the two was that of the old lord and the old official, do you think, how could Xun Shuang not listen to Wang Yun now? Wang Yun flattered you like this, and he must have a plan. ”

"The Taiyuan royal valve is the first gate valve in the state, and at least half of the officials in the state are the king's people. In the past, they probably looked down on Li Yi and were reluctant to have too much contact with him, but with the expansion of the northern territory and the prominence of Li Yi's power, they would definitely have to come together with Li Yi. And Li Yi is also deliberately building a good relationship with the king for the stability and development of northern Xinjiang. Wang Yun is bound to keep the northern Xinjiang for the benefit of the royal lord, that is to say, he wants to help Li Yi, which is probably an important reason why he actively cooperated with and instigated the lord to move west to Chang'an. ”

"The benefits of checks and balances for the north are obvious, and the kings are bound to reap the staggering benefits from them. The benefits that the king wants to gain in northern Xinjiang are not money, but power. If they were just for money, they could have directly participated in the operation of Tuntian and Salt and Iron like the Wei Lord, but why did they keep holding back? ”

"In addition, Hedong Wei Valve, Fan Valve, these people have an intricate relationship with the gate valves of Guanzhong, Guanxi, and Kandong, which of them doesn't want the lord to return to Chang'an immediately? In this case, what Wang Yun and a group of gate valve bureaucrats in Chang'an want to do, can't the lord still guess? ”

Dong Zhuo gradually understood. Wang Yun forced himself to return to Chang'an to help northern Xinjiang achieve checks and balances. Northern Xinjiang is stabilized, developed, and strengthened, so that it can sweep Guanzhong. At that time, whether Li Yi was the king of Qin or the traitor, it was a breeze.

fell by himself, the Son of Heaven returned to Luoyang, and the biggest profit was the gate valve clan, especially the king valve in Taiyuan. After Li Yi returned to the capital, the state immediately became their world.

In fact, as long as you think about it carefully, everyone knows that it is not good for Dong Zhuo, and it is very naïve to put it bluntly, but why does Wang Yun still take Dong Zhuo seriously? Wang Yun wanted to tell Dong Zhuo that Chang'an was very dangerous and that there might be a mutiny.

Dong Zhuo is not in Chang'an, and he does not have a few powerful henchmen, so the ministers of the court can unscrupulously negotiate with the Guanzhong gate lords, the rebels in the western Xinjiang, and even the generals of the northern army like Duan Xuan to hoe the traitorous king.

Dong Zhuo, the power of the gate valve, has been taught several times, and at this time, Chang'an is in the midst of a rainstorm that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and if he is not careful, he may lose everything.

Dong Zhuoyu thought more and more uneasy, and couldn't sit still.

Whether the checks and balances can succeed is still a matter of suspense. But if Chang'an is in chaos, Tongguan is lost, and he is trapped in Luoyang, then everything will be over.

After the alliance of the Kwantung princes divided into three routes and besieged Luoyang, Dong Zhuo also quickly redeployed his forces.

First of all, he personally led 3,000 Flying Bear Army, and 30,000 Xiliang Army left Tiger Prison Pass and returned to Luoyang, leaving only Zhang Xiu to lead 20,000 troops to handle Tiger Prison Pass, and sent Xu Rong to lead 5,000 men and horses from his headquarters to Spiral Gate Pass to replace Guo Yan who was defending there.

After Guo Yan was taken over by Xu Rong for the defense of the Revolving Gate Pass, he rushed to the south to defend the Yique Pass and Dagu Pass under Dong Zhuo's order.

In addition, he also brought back to Luoyang from the Tiger Prison Pass, 10,000 of them, led by Hu Zhen, rushed to the Yellow River to deploy on the front line, and together with Zhang Yang, defended against the attack of Yuan Shao and other princes in the north of the river.

Compared with the coalition army of the Kwantung princes, Dong Zhuojun was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. Now that this division of troops, the disadvantage is even more obvious. On the front line of the Yellow River, Zhang Yang and Hu Zhen had to face an attack by more than 70,000 troops of Yuan Shao, Han Fu and Wang Kuang. On the front line of the Tiger Pass, Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong's 25,000 troops were also Yali Mountain, and they faced an army of 200,000 generals of the 11th Route led by Cao Cao. As for Guo Yan in the south, the 20,000-strong army faced the same more than 60,000 enemies.

With such a huge disparity in troops, there will definitely be frequent emergencies when they engage in battle.

Not long after Dong Zhuo returned to Luoyang, unfavorable news came one after another. First, Zhang Yang was trapped in Wen County, Hanoi, and he was not guaranteed. Then Sun Jian in the south attacked like crazy, and Guo Yan was defeated in successive battles, and he had retreated to Yique Pass and Dagu Pass.

Fortunately, on the main battlefield of the Eastern Front, the situation in the battle was surprisingly good. Because of the danger of the Tiger Pass, the princes were scruples. Coupled with the intrigue among the princes, the defense of the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass did not encounter any danger. But after all, the number of the princes' armies was there, and Dong Zhuo didn't dare to be careless.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yi is forced to be anxious at this time and the northern Xinjiang army goes south, he will become a turtle in the urn.

At this time, Liu Ai persuaded in a low voice: "The situation in Luoyang has developed to the present, the lord should be very clear, there is no point in us guarding Luoyang anymore, and taking a step back is the best policy." As long as Li Yi can get rid of the rebels, we will have food. As long as there is food, we can recover quickly. We have the Son of Heaven in our hands and an army of 100,000, what is the Lord worried about? ”

Dong Zhuo was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go back to Chang'an." ”

Dong Zhuo ordered Li Su to move all the officials, craftsmen, and workshop tools of Shanglin Sanguan to Chang'an.

Ordered Fan Chou to garrison Hangu Pass.

Ordered Niu Fu to lead the army to withdraw from Hedong and garrison it in Hongnong County.

Dong Zhuo played the Son of Heaven, and Bai Lang Zhong ordered Li Ru to be a rebellious general, and led the Luoyang military affairs with Zhang Ji, the Zhonglang general.

Song Xian, Li Meng, and Wuqiu Yi were controlled by the rebellious general Li Ru and defended Luoyang.

Henan Yin Zhu Jun also led the Luoyang Order, and was in charge of Henan Yin Zhushi.

Dong Zhuo specially asked the Son of Heaven to decree that for the safety of the capital of Luoyang, the army of Zhang Ji and Li Ru was not allowed to enter Luoyang City.

After the news of Xiangguo Dong Zhuo's return to Chang'an reached Hedong, the exiles in Hedong cheered. Hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Hongnong County and Yin in Henan Province stranded in Hedong crossed the Yellow River as fast as possible and returned to their hometowns.

Zhu Jun tried every means to set up dozens of disaster relief porridge sheds in the areas of Mianchi, Xin'an, and Hanguguan to help the displaced people eat enough and go home to prepare for spring ploughing.

At the same time, Zhu Jun sent several Peng subordinates to Hanoi, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanyang counties to ask for help. When the displaced people returned, they wanted food relief, seeds and materials for spring ploughing, without which Yin and Luoyang in Henan would not be able to support them. (To be continued.) )
