After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo frowned, his face trembled and asked, "Has the Northern Army been controlled by those court officials and aristocratic families? How can we seize it if we are not strong enough?"

"Although the aristocratic families have a lot of money and food, most of the clans are stingy. In addition, those who embezzle and accept bribes, the army almost cannot get the money and food. If the army is not attached, how can we talk about controlling it?" Li Ru said disdainfully.

"It's reasonable!" Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will order people to recruit soldiers of the Northern Army and tell them that I will never treat my subordinates unfairly."

Dong Zhuo may be cruel and bloodthirsty, but he did one thing very well, that is, he treats his soldiers under his command very generously, otherwise he would not have such great prestige in Xiliang.

After giving everything, Dong Zhuo held his fat body and walked into the inner hall to rest.

Li Ru left the hall with a strange smile on his face and said to himself: "Tomorrow will be wonderful."

The next morning, a team of people suddenly appeared in the west of Luoyang City. When asked, it was a follow-up army under Dong Zhuo.

The city gate guard dared not stop him, so he hurriedly let him go.

The army marched into Luoyang in a mighty manner, with drums shaking the sky and flags waving, as if it were thousands of troops.

Yuan Wei and other court officials were planning to attack Dong Zhuo today, but seeing this attitude, they were both shattered and dared not say too much, and they ended up leaving it alone.

Shocking all the ministers of the court, Dong Zhuo began to speed up and gather the Northern Army.

After several threats and temptations, Dong Zhuo finally surrendered He Jin's old subordinates as he wished, and his troops instantly expanded to tens of thousands. In addition, the Xiliang army was about to arrive, Dong Zhuo immediately lost his scruples and became unscrupulous.

Although Dong Zhuo had basically controlled Luoyang at this time, he had a poor background and lacked prestige, so he urgently needed to do something big and establish his own authority.

Looking back on the rescue of the car that day, King Liu Xie of Chenliu performed outstandingly and advanced and retreated properly. On the contrary, Liu Bian, as the emperor, was timid and had no emperor's spirit, and Dong Zhuo immediately became mindful.

Dong Zhuo immediately summoned Li Ru to ask, "I want to abolish the emperor and establish King Chenliu, how about?"

What a good person Li Ru? He understood what he meant when he heard Dong Zhuo's words and pondered: "Now the court has no master. If my father-in-law really wants to do the decree and establish a decree, he should change as soon as possible. If he is late, there will be changes! In the future, he can summon all officials in Wenmingyuan to discuss the decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a decree and establish a

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and said, "Okay! I'll follow your plan!"

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, my son-in-law will send the invitation to all the ministers."

"Yeah! Go!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, ignored Li Ru, and turned back to the inner hall.

After a while, a low roar came from the inner hall, mixed with a hint of panting.

...

At the Wenmingyuan banquet, almost all the officials and ministers of the court arrived, and even some aristocratic families also sent representatives to come.

Just kidding, Dong Laohu, the current Luoyang "head" wants you to come. Do you dare not come or try it?

After a while, everyone arrived one after another, greeted each other, and whispered to discuss the purpose of Dong Zhuo's banquet.

Suddenly, everyone stopped their voices and all their eyes turned to one place.

I saw Dong Zhuo holding his fat body and walking slowly in a tyrannical step.

Everyone hurried up to greet him: "I have met General Dong!"

"No gift!" Dong Zhuo waved his hand, which was quite meaningful to give advice to the country.

Ignoring everyone, Dong Zhuo directly sat on the main seat, looked at the people below with trembling eyes, smiled cruelly, and said, "You sit down! Do you want me to ask you to sit down?"

"I dare not, I dare... the general is really serious." Everyone was extremely frightened and panickedly looked for a seat to sit down. There was no place as demeanor as before.

Under Dong Zhuo's pressure, everyone trembled with a feast.

After drinking for several rounds, Dong Zhuo suddenly ordered to stop drinking and laugh, and stood up and said, "I have something to say, please listen quietly!"

Everyone hurriedly put down their wine glasses, made a respectful look, and waited for Dong Zhuo to speak.

Dong Zhuo smiled proudly and said, "The emperor is the lord of all people. Without majesty, he cannot serve the ancestral temple and the country. Now your Majesty is cowardly, and he is not as smart and studious as King Chenliu, and can be accorded the throne. I want to abolish the emperor and establish King Chenliu. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man slapped the table and shouted, "No, who is you, dare to make such a big statement? The emperor is the eldest son of the late emperor, and he has no fault at first, so why should he slander abdicate and establish a false statement? Do you want to usurp the rebellion?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, a trace of murderous aura suddenly oozed out of his body. When he turned around, he looked at it, but he was holding Jinwu Dingyuan.

"Those who follow me will live, and those who go against me will die!" said coldly, and Dong Zhuo immediately stood up with his sword and wanted to kill Ding Yuan.

Li Ru, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes and looked at the person behind Ding Yuan. He saw that he was so majestic and majestic that he held the Fangtian Painted Ridge in his hand and glared at Dong Zhuo.

A name flashed through his mind, and Li Ru hurriedly stood up to stop Dong Zhuo and advised: "This is a place for a banquet, so you should not talk about national affairs; it is not too late to discuss the affairs of the Dutang public in the future."

The banquet ended unhappily.

On the way back, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru: "Why did you stop me from killing Ding Yuan today!"

Li Ru replied: "It's all right for Ding Yuan, my father-in-law to kill him, but the people behind him are extraordinary."

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo said curiously: "Who is the son-in-law so valued?"

"Lu Bu!" Li Ru said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu's name is Fengxian, and he was Ding Yuan's adopted son. He was brave enough to be a ghost and god. In the past, when Hedong was in Hedong, his son-in-law knew about this person."

"Lu Bu?!" Dong Zhuo murmured.

...

The Taifu Mansion, Yuan Wei, and Yuan Shao were relatively speechless.

After a long time, Yuan Wei sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Dong Zhuo was indeed like the words of the road, and was a tiger that chose people to eat."

Yuan Shao felt very uncomfortable after hearing this and said, "Why do you have to do this for uncle? What is the ability of Dong Zhuo? Today, he proposed to depose the establishment, but he was rejected by us!"

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao with disappointment and said powerlessly: "Will we reject the proposal today? If Ding Jianyang had not been there, we would have surrendered."

"Even if he succeeds in his destruction, what can he do? The world still needs to be governed by aristocratic families." Yuan Shao was not convinced, especially Yuan Wei's words seemed to be admiring Yuan Shu.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, Yuan Wei felt cold.

"Can such a shallow person really support the world for my Yuan family?" Yuan Wei doubted his decision to establish Yuan Shao as the head of the family for the first time.

Yuan Wei lacked enough knowledge and his wisdom was average, but his power and strategy, which had been immersed in his family for many years, had reached the pinnacle. How could Yuan Wei not see the reason behind Dong Zhuo's destruction and establishment?

Yuan Wei also knew in his heart that if Dong Zhuo was deposed and established successfully, Luoyang would become his one-man show, and then the aristocratic families would lose control and influence on the court.

Yuan Shao couldn't see such a simple truth, which made Yuan Wei hesitate about the election of Yuan Shao as the head of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao didn't know that Yuan Wei had already made plans to give up on him, so he said to himself: "Uncle! Now Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo are not in harmony. Both of them have military soldiers in their hands. A big battle is inevitable. We can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

These words still make some sense, Yuan Wei nodded secretly.

"What I said at the beginning is so good. We will not help each other. Let's see who will win!" Yuan Wei said.

Yuan Shao's face flashed with pride.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao thought very well, but unfortunately things developed far beyond the expectations of the two.

After leaving the seat, Ding Yuan left the city and took up his troops. On the next day, he directly sent troops to challenge Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was furious. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrived last night and had recovered after resting for a night.

Dong Zhuo immediately led the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to fight Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan was the governor of Bingzhou. Like Dong Zhuo, he fought on the border for many years. His army was strong and he also had Lu Bu, the world's number one general. Although the number of troops was inferior, his strength was definitely not bad.

Sure enough, the two sides fought a lot, and relying on Lu Bu's courage, Ding Yuan defeated Dong Zhuo.

All the civil and military officials in the court, and the great families of aristocratic families were happy to hear the news.

Unfortunately, before they were happy, that night, Dong Laohu sent his famous "slobber man" Li Su to lobby Lu Bu with BMW gold and silver.

As expected, in the face of gold, silver, jewelry, red rabbit, BMW, and possible high-ranking officials and high salaries in the future, Lu Bu surrendered, cut Ding Yuan's head, and happily defected to his new master.

Seeing Lu Bu coming to join, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and recognized Lu Bu as his adopted son on the spot and gave him golden armor and brocade robe.

With Lu Bu joining, Dong Zhuo's strength expanded to its extreme, and Lu Bu gathered many Bingzhou soldiers and was also accepted by Dong Zhuo with a smile, and hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting for the battle.

Since then, Dong Zhuo's power has reached its peak.
